The importance behind Stargazing.
Don't Tear Your Einstein Posters Down Quite Yet
The Physics world has received quite a bit of attention these past few days after scientists at CERN have apparently detected that neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light. At the LHC, pictured above, particles called neutrinos are created. Neutrinos can be thought of as very anti-social particles when it comes to matter, and pass directly through them- with trillions of these particles passing through every inch of your body each second. So these scientists detected neutrinos after traveling hundreds of kilometeres to a detector called OPERA - and they found something shocking. It seems, by dividing the particle's distance traveled and the time it took to get there, that the neutrinos reached the detector before light would have. A similar beam of photons, which compose light, reached the detector in 2.43 milliseconds - but the neutrinos were apparently 60 nanoseconds faster!
But I'm not trashing my Einstein t-shirts yet. This is a fantastic claim, and should be received with a ton of skepticism. Even the scientists themselves are not causing the madness that the media is, they have remained calm and want their results to be peer-reviewed and tried again and again. The likely occurrence is a statistical error; a number of small errors added together in the right conditions caused the scientists to measure such a speed.
The scientists used a GPS to measure the distance traveled, which could be off by even a fraction of a fraction of a meter. Additionally, it is very difficult to determine exactly where and when neutrinos are created; so an error in that could cause a speed under-calculation. Neutrinos are tricky little buggers, and are extremely hard to measure since they hardly interact with matter.
Bad Astronomy made an excellent point concerning the supernova 1987A. That supernova itself occurred when the core of a very massive star collapsed; and the outer layers were destroyed. Although the star was 160,000 light years away, it released an incredibly intense stream of neutrinos that we could easily detect. If we apply a similar speed to the neutrinos in this case as has apparently been found in CERN; we find that we should have detected the stream of neutrinos four years earlier than the light! Since OPERA claims that the neutrinos traveled 730 km in a slightly faster time than 2.43 milliseconds, neutrinos would travel 160,000 lights years four years faster than light would. However, we detected the light and neutrinos at a very similar time; if you account for the time it took for the star to actually collapse the times line up exactly.
Although finds like this can be exciting; don't run away with your imagination quite yet. While the possibility is fascinating, even the scientists who actually performed the experiment are not quite sure yet. Just wait patiently, more information is being found as quickly as possible.
The Four Fundamental Forces.
In Physics, the fundamental forces describe how particles interact with one another. The four known forces are the Strong Nuclear Force, the Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetism and Gravitation. These forces are considered fundamental because they cannot be explained in terms of any other force. The quest to bring together the four forces into a single entity (a TOE - Theory of Everything) is the pursuit of many physicists, but so far has proven to be a challenging task, which even eluded Einstein himself!
Strong Nuclear Force
Strength: 1 (All strenghts to follow are relative to this one.) Range: 10-15 m
The Strong Nuclear Force, aptly named because it is the strongest of the four forces, is responsible for everything that we know today. This force holds together the protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus despite the particles' urge to repel each other. The mediators of the Strong Nuclear Force are particles called Gluons, which also hold quarks together to form particles such as the proton.
Strength: 1⁄137 Range: Infinite
The Electromagnetic force is responsible for, as you can probably tell, electricity and magnetism. This force is mediated by Photons, massless particles that are the basic unit of light. You probably know that opposite charges attract, and like charges repel - this is a direct result of the Electromagnetic force. When a particle attract or repels another particle, what actually happens is that photons are exchanged, and the release or absorption of the photon's energy causes the particle to come closer or dart away. This force is responsible for many everyday, observable occurrences. The Electromagnetic force is why your computer isn't falling right through your desk right now; because the atoms in your computer and in the desk resist being displaced from the exchange of photons.
Weak Nuclear Force
Strength: 10-6 m Range: 10-18 m
The Weak Nuclear Force is the most unfamiliar to us in our everyday lives. However, it is the force that is responsible for radioactive decay and hydrogen fusion in stars. The mediators of this force are the massive W and Z bosons. This force is also capable of changing the flavor of a quark, i.e. changing one type of quark into another.
Strength: 6 * 10-39 m Range: Infinite
Gravity, of course, is the most familiar of all the fundamental forces. However, is it also the least likely to compromise, as it has proven extremely difficult to associate gravity into the other forces into a Theory of Everything. In fact, the modern model of the Universe, the Standard Model, does not even include gravity because of this! In short, Gravity is a force by which physical bodies attract each other. In more precise terms, Gravity is an inverse square law with incorporates the masses of two bodies, the gravitational constant, (6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2,) and the distance separating the bodies. Gravity is most observable by providing weight to objects and what causes objects to fall to the ground when dropped. Gravity also causes coalesced matter to remain intact, thus accounting for most of the macroscopic objects in the Universe. Every object exerts a gravitational force on every other object, although the force becomes extremely weak at large distances.
To show the weakness of Gravity compared with the other forces, consider this. After running a comb through your hair several times, place it close to a flat piece of paper. If done correctly, the paper should lift up and touch the comb. An entire planet's gravity was required to keep that piece of paper down, but a simple comb with a few charged particles was able to pick it up!

Victoria Ross, community reporter for The Connection Newspapers, has a diverse media background as a reporter, editor, freelance writer and media spokesperson for local government.
A magna cum laude graduate of James Madison University and The University of Virginia, she started her journalism career in Dayton, Ohio where she was named the youngest editor-in-chief of Times Publications, a chain of community newspapers, in 1991. As a reporter and editor of The Kettering-Oakwood Times and The Centreville-Bellbrook Times, she won several Ohio Newspaper Association Awards for investigative reporting, business reporting and feature writing.
In 1994, she and her husband moved to Charlotte, where she became the media spokesperson for The Fighting Back Project, a national anti-drug program. She worked closely with the program's co-chairs — Franklin McCain, one of the Greensboro Four who participated in the Woolworth sit-ins during the Civil Rights movement, and Cullie Tarleton, broadcasting executive and North Carolina State Representative — to raise the community profile of the program. That same year, she was appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to serve on Charlotte's Diversity Committee. In 1997, she became communications director for Mecklenburg County government, where she worked until moving to Montgomery County in 2003.
While freelancing for several local publications, she started a Diversity Book & Film Club that was featured in The Washington Post in 2005. She grew up in Fairfax County and Baltimore, and lives in Vienna with her husband, two children, one huge dog and one small guinea pig.

text: Inducted 2011 Henry M. Leland was an inventor, machinist, engineer and automotive entrepreneur who not only founded two leading American automobile luxury brands, Cadillac and Lincoln, but also introduced to Detroit the concept of interchangeable parts for automobiles. Invention Impact The basic techniques for making interchangeable parts were developed in 19th century New England. This concept was used by manufacturers who specialized in clocks, guns, and sewing machines, and Henry Leland played a prominent role in transferring this know-how from New England to the automotive industry. Leland applied his skill in manufacturing to the emerging motor industry as early as 1870 to Ransom E. Olds for use in his first Oldsmobiles. Leland fully entered the automobile business in 1902 when he joined forces with William Murphy and his partners to create a new company to market a luxury car built with precision interchangeable parts. Leland suggested they name the company Cadillac. Leland sold Cadillac to General Motors in 1909 for $4.5 million, and later formed the Lincoln Motor Company. During WWI Leland received a government contract to build the V12 Liberty Engine. The V8 engine used in the first Lincoln automobiles was influenced by the Liberty engine's design. Leland is also credited with inventing electric barber clippers and the Leland-Detroit Monorail. Inventor Bio Henry Martyn Leland was born in Barton, VT. He learned engineering and precision machining in the Brown & Sharpe plant at Providence, Rhode Island. He subsequently worked in the Colt Firearms Company. He received the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club in 1908. |

We are two women who share a love of cooking, gardening, running and art. Fortunately, all of our interests compliment each other quite well. With our favorite meal of the day being breakfast, we have been motivated over the years to invent a variety of vegetarian breakfast recipes. From pancakes to savory muffins, we've made it all.
Between us, we've been cooking meatless meals for over 30 years. Being vegetarian means you better like to cook! If not, you better learn to like it since there aren't a lot of prepackaged meals that will suite your nutritional requirements or for that matter, your taste buds.
Sam is the gardener extraordinaire of our duo. This year she strayed away from flowers and shrubs and focused on veggie gardening. The results of her efforts showed up in many of our breakfasts. If she grew it, we chopped, broiled, steamed, sauted, stuffed, baked or grilled it.
Running, our third obsession, fits in well with our culinary endeavors for the obvious reason: burning off our excess indulgence. The breakfasts we most enjoy are the ones after our Sunday long runs. At 6am, when the alarm goes off and its cold, dark and ____ (raining, snowing, icy), you seriously wonder why, WHY does anyone do this? Yes, of course for the feeling of accomplishment but also for the promise of coming home to a warm kitchen and creating the best breakfast EVER, without any concern for calories. It's all about rest and reward from this point on.
Finally, our love of art is fulfilled by the joy of the process and the beauty of what we've created. The way we live and the things we invent and produce inspire the next project or even other people. We hope to inspire you and to ignite your interest and imagination through our favorite vegetarian breakfast recipes.
Bon Appetit!!

Designed For the Times
Designed For the Times
As the one-design world turns, the latest grand-prix big-boat offering comes as its predecessors enjoy their golden years. "New Boats" from our April 2011 issue.
With the prohibitive operating costs of bigger boats, many owners and crews have turned to smaller high-performance designs of late to get their racing fix while awaiting an attractive 40-foot option. The impending arrival of the first Farr 400 later this spring could put an end to waiting game.
A design commissioned by Premier Composites Technology in Dubai, the Farr 400 is more akin to the box-rule GP42s that raced the MedCup circuit in Europe over the past two years than it is its suggested predecessor, the Farr 40. Whereas the Farr 40 is strictly a buoy racer, designed some 15 years ago, the 400 will be pulled into both buoy and distance racing duty.
"Current and past [Farr 40] owners have recognized that design trends moved on, and faster, more exciting boats have come along," says Bill O'Malley, of Farr Yacht Sales. "They're anxious for something new."
For some of those owners, he adds, the Melges 32, an excellent boat in its own right, is too athletic and dinghylike, and the TP52s too grand-prix and expensive to campaign. That's not to say
the Farr 40 is inexpensive for serious teams to campaign. A cost-reduction effort is fundamental to the 400: it's designed to be much more portable than the 40, less reliant on yards and shore teams, and less costly to transport between events.
As a powered-up 9,105-pound carbon-composite build, the 400 will leave a Farr 40 in its wake, but it will also be more versatile, meeting ISAF Offshore Special Regulations (Category 2). The reverse sheer line provides interior volume and headroom (about 6 feet in the main section). The class concept, as it's evolving, says O'Malley, will include coastal racing, a staple of European events of late, along with windward-leeward racing. The hull has a narrow profile, a trait that plays to FYD's typical emphasis on upwind/downwind performance, but the af chine creates the af planing section desirable for downwind reaching.
The asymmetric deck layout has a clean look, and borrows many systems developed on Farr-designed GP42s. Integral to the layout is the string-line spinnaker take-down system, and the twisted Lewmar pedestal grinder (not shown in the renderings). The pedestal is unique on a 40-foot production raceboat, O'Malley points out, not to mention helpful for jibing the big asymmetric. It's hugely beneficial for spinnaker hoists and the line-drive take down, as well.
The take-down setup includes a carbon roller on the aft face of the front hatch, and, when doused, the spinnaker is pulled into a sock running the length of the interior on the port side. The take-down line runs to a block on the transom, then forward, and exits out of the cockpit window adjacent to the primary winch. The grinder loads the line into the winch's self-tailer and grinds the spinnaker in until it's 90-percent in the sock. The bowman collects the head, tack, and clew, and closes the hatch. The spinnaker launches right out of the sock.
Masthead kites will be flown off a retractable sprit, and having the sprit on centerline required the forward hatch to be offset to port. With this arrangement, the spinnaker sock has a straight run for left-side takedowns, which is the preferred method to avoid shrimping oversized kites.

The Department of Defense (DOD) has three military exchanges--the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the Navy Exchange, and the Marine Corps Exchange--that operate retail and other specialty stores. During fiscal years 2000 through 2004, the three exchanges provided more than $300 million annually, an average of 55 to 70 percent of their profits, in the form of a dividend to support the military services' morale, welfare, and recreation programs. DOD, through the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), also operates commissaries that sell groceries and authorized household products at the lowest practical price, charging patrons only for the cost of goods sold plus a 5 percent surcharge. The funds generated by the surcharge are used to construct new and modernize existing commissaries. The Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 authorized the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot project involving the sale of film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards in not less than 10 commissary stores for a period selected by the Secretary, but not less than 6 months. Previously, these items had only been sold by the exchanges. Concerns were expressed by some associated with the exchanges that allowing the commissary stores to sell these items could adversely affect the exchange dividend, which could reduce the funding for the military services' morale, welfare, and recreation programs. The legislation also included a requirement that we examine that issue. In response to the 2005 act, we determined (1) the status of the pilot project to sell film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards in select commissaries; and (2) the potential impact that the pilot project could have on the exchange dividend.
Officials from the three exchanges and DeCA signed a memorandum in November 2005 agreeing to institute a pilot project to sell film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards at 10 commissaries in the continental United States. DOD implemented the pilot project at one location in November 2005 and plans to implement it at the other nine locations in December 2005. The pilot project is scheduled to last for 2 years. As designed, the pilot project is a test of convenience. The commissaries will purchase the selected film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards from the exchanges at the exchanges' retail price and sell the items at the same price as the exchanges. The commissaries will receive a management fee equal to 2 percent of the sale price of the items to offset the costs for handling the pilot project items and will not collect a surcharge on these items. The pilot project should have a negligible impact on the exchange dividend because of the design of the pilot project and the small percentage of sales from film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards. The commissaries will purchase all pilot project items from the exchanges, less a 2 percent management fee. Further, based on our analysis of the exchanges' sales data, the sale of all film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards comprise a very small percentage (less than 1 percent from fiscal years 2003 through 2005) of annual total exchange sales, and the pilot project calls for only selling 8 varieties of these items at 10 locations. Moreover, the exchanges would continue to sell the items at their locations throughout the pilot project. Based on fiscal year 2004 sales and dividend data, we determined that the fiscal year 2004 exchange dividend would have decreased by about $600,000, or 0.2 percent, if all sales of all varieties of these items were made at the commissaries. Our estimate represents a worst case scenario because it includes the sale of all film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards, rather than the eight items selected for the pilot project; assumes that all sales of film, one-time use cameras, and telephone cards would occur at the commissaries instead of the exchanges; and assumes that the sales of these items remain the same as when they were only sold in the exchanges.

Diversity Program
During the fall semester Diversity Programs and Well U co-hosted 3 Dance Around the World workshops and averaged 17 participants per workshop. In order to increase interest and attendance in our program activities, we focused on outreach at the Employee Services Fair, Spartapalooza and other campus wide events. Our efforts paid off! During the spring semester we hosted 4 more Dance Around the World workshops and increased the average number of participants to 30 per workshop!
This was the second year Diversity Programs partnered with the Communication Studies Department to present Difficult Dialogues (Diversity Dialogues last year). Some of the 12 topics covered were freedom of speech, stereotypes, disabilities, words that hurt, and environmental issues.
After an introduction to the topic, discussion groups were formed and participants shared their personal experiences in relation to the topic. These dialogues gave people an opportunity to gain a better understanding of diversity issues and their impacts.

Managing Global Governance: The Global Governance School
Global Governance School
is the scholarly part of the Training and Dialogue Programme
'Managing Global Governance' (MGG), an initiative of the
German Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development
(BMZ), implemented jointly by the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) and
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit
. The programme is aimed at highly qualified young professionals from currently eight anchor countries (Egypt, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan and South Africa), who work in government bodies, policy-oriented think tanks and research institutions.
By offering a qualification for young researchers and government employees the programme intends to strengthen partner countries' capacities in shaping globalisation processes as well as supporting them with the implementation of national reform policies and the reduction of poverty. At the same time the programme wants to encourage high-level networking between Germany/Europe and the participating countries. The aim is to design stable, strategic partnerships on equal terms in order to identify common approaches for the solution of global challenges.
Another important goal that has been pursued alongside the GGS is the development of the so-called 'Global Governance Research Network' (currently still on an informal basis), a long-term, strategic research network with partner countries. The cooperation ranges from organising conferences and joint publications to the exchange of visiting fellows and the invitation of leading researchers and senior policy officers to teach at the GGS.

Hey Goldenbug, I am travelling up to Hamilton on Oct 28th to complete a PBQ and written LFI. If I pass, I may be having the LFI and DCI the same day. I am quite worried as I am not sure what is to come . I have been on the Hamilton site the last few days trying to study up a bit. I am wondering if you could answer a few questions for me about the LFI. When it comes to the local focused interview what kind of questions are they attempting to ask. I have seen the local needs (4 criteria) is the lfi based off of those or something entirely different. How do you pronounce in phonetics LEENDERTSE? Any information about this upcoming process would be greatly appreciated even if you can lead me in the correct direction for material that I can study. Thank you in advance,
Junior Member

The town of Longboat Key has created a Web site to keep residents and visitors informed on a $2.1 million water pipeline upsizing project that will cause temporary traffic delays at times.
The project consists of the installation of approximately 14,000 lineal feet of 12- to 16-inch diameter water pipes along the east side of Gulf of Mexico Drive from Bay Isles Road to the south end of the Key.
New Web updates, which can be reached by accessing the main page of the town's Web site, www.longboatkey.org, are available weekly. The Web site reports that utility locating and flagging will continue along the east right-of-way of Gulf of Mexico Drive.
Pipe installation will be done from the 2100 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive to the 1950 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive this week.
The town contracted with Palmetto-based Westra Construction Corporation to perform the work. Westra will utilize directional drilling and open cut trenching to install the pipeline to minimize work-related interruptions to traffic and pedestrians. The project's estimated completion date is September 2010, weather permitting.
Funding for this project was provided by a low-interest loan under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
This project is a component of the potable water interconnection between the town and the city of Sarasota's potable water system. Currently, the town's only source of potable drinking water is from Manatee County from the north. The new interconnection will allow greater flexibility during times of emergencies.
Questions about the project may be directed to the Public Works Department at 316-1988.
To access the pipeline Web site directly, visit http://www.tgw1.com/LBK-Water-Main.html

Cocoa aroma notes up front with touches of coffee and the expected dark malt aromas for a stout. Roasted grains and coffee grounds are the first taste impressions, followed with creamy milk chocolate and coffee flavors; nice combination of alcohol warmth and a tad bit of hop bitterness at the finish. Heavy and smooth body; sugary but not cloying. A very drinkable, smooth and soothing imperial stout. Deep and complex flavors and feel throughout. Serving type: bottle 12-19-2013 23:17:29 | More by beergoot JonadaNew Jersey 4.24/5 rDev -2.1% look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4 Batch #22 10.2% ABV. Served in a Goose Island stemmed glass Appearance: Pours nearly black in color with a finger of a dark tan head that dissipates to a thick ring and wispy coating of foam. Body is nearly opaque with only the smallest hints of ruby red when held up to light. Smell: Extremely fresh ground coffee, roasted malt, dark chocolate, maybe a hint of vanilla. Not super complex, and is lacking really any barrel character, but the coffee aromas are excellent. Taste: More of the same as the aroma. Fresh ground coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, slight smoke. Again, where is the whiskey barrel character? Even as the beer warms there's little to no barrel presence. Mouthfeel: Full bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Booze masked fairly well. Overall: This was a bit of an odd beer to rate. I scored this fairly high since it is a very good coffee stout, however I'm a bit let down considering the lack of barrel presence coupled with the price paid for the beer. If you're looking for a good coffee stout, then this is probably worth a try (though there are better options for cheaper), but I can't recommend this as a great bourbon/whiskey barrel aged stout. Serving type: bottle 12-19-2013 03:05:44 | More by Jonada clayrock81Virginia 4.14/5 rDev -4.4% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4 Poured a black body with one finger head that died slow with lace patches. Aroma is standard but contains alot as I get roasted and coffee malts, some bready (or biscuit) malts, dark chocolate, hints of vanilla and woodiness but surprisingly not a real boozy aroma. Notice the same thing in the beer - the alcohol is well-hidden in this beer and never leaks out, not even as beer warms and smoothes. In fact, for a "double" stout, this beer is incredibly smooth and easy to drink and has a great balance that seems to actually tip from the dry/roasted/coffee malt notes to the sweeter, dark chocolate, vanilla, hints of toffee sweet tastes (not too complex as I don't get any "dark fruits" that sometimes slip in these beers). Since I like my stouts a little less dry/heavy with touches of more sweetness this beer hit the spot. Serving type: on-tap 12-17-2013 14:11:37 | More by clayrock81 |

Calcite (var: Cobaltoan Calcite), Malachite
Posted by: Robert Lavinsky
3.7 x 3.3 x 2.0 cm. From the special finds of the 1980s, these hot pink calcites remain one of my favorites of African mineral specimens. This sharp crystal is complete and 4 cm tip to tip. The malachite association provides a nice accent.

text: The URBN Center will move the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design ever closer to being recognized as one of America's premier universities for design, media and art as our facilities will enhance our strong faculty, programs and students. To achieve elite recognition, now, more than ever, we need funding support from you to invest in technology, new programs and initiatives and scholarships. There are many ways to contribute. The gifts we've received to date helped create the URBN Center and the Westphal in Los Angeles program; helped to host guest artists and notable speakers for programming, and workshops at Drexel; helped to renovate existing facilities; and assisted students with scholarships and financial aid for cutting-edge senior projects. The great benefit of The URBN Center is it places all Westphal's design and many media programs under one roof in a state-of-the-art space with the latest technologies and laboratories. Westphal students and faculty already demonstrate excellence; our students win national awards at an impressive rate; our faculty creates important new creative work and scholarship; and our alumni work at many of the world's most renowned and recognizable companies and institutions. Your contributions allow us to build upon our successes so that future graduates will be best prepared to make the world a better place. The Space to Create campaign offers opportunities to name spaces in The URBN Center for yourself or a loved one be it a lab, studio, specialized teaching space or gathering area. It is a chance to leave a legacy for someone that you admire and love. If you would rather make a gift that impacts a student or faculty member directly, there are also opportunities to create endowed and named scholarships and professorships. We ask you to consider supporting the URBN Center and the Westphal College within your own philanthropic objectives. However you choose to support the Space to Create Campaign—and at whatever level—your philanthropy is pivotal to the progress and continued success of Drexel University and Westphal College. Every gift creates a new opportunity in the lives of students. To permanently name a space in the URBN Center, view available naming opportunities. Make a Gift Now – Make a gift, gift intention or payment online at Gift Online System or by phone by calling Louisa Hanshew, assistant vice president for Institutional Advancement, at 215-895-6401. Current Giving – Gifts to Westphal ensure a strong enduring endowment, help to build and improve facilities, and enrich academic programming. By making a major commitment, you can enhance facilities, endow scholarships, empower faculty or touch the lives of Westphal students in ways that are most meaningful to you. Planned Giving – Planned gifts include gifts through wills, living trusts, charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, retirement plans, or other estate-planning arrangements. With a planned giving strategy tailored to your needs, you can provide countless opportunities for Westphal students for generations to come.
