Xian in ChinaChildren usually tend to believe that the settlement they live in has been there forever and that their parents are immortal. Further on, when growing up, they realize that their village or town is sometimes a little older than an object found on the shelves of an antiquity shop. There are still several settlements for which the past is as mysterious as what will happen next. If Beijing represents China as it is now and Shanghai represents China of tomorrow, Xian ci...

Angkor reminds about what they are able to do and it is a symbol of Khmer independence, perhaps a symbol of hope. For this reason, the five t...

DETROIT — Dozens of Michigan State University students survived a zombie pandemic this summer.
Or at least a class about one.
For the past seven weeks, Glenn Stutzky, an instructor in the School of Social Work, taught a course not previously offered at the East Lansing university.
Called "Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse — Catastrophes and Human Behavior," the online class, which wrapped up on Friday, encouraged students to consider how human behavior and nature change after catastrophes, both historical and hypothetical.
In this case, the hypothetical was a zombie apocalypse.
On the surface, it may not sound like the most rigorously academic class ever offered.
"I really didn't know what to expect as far as the material goes, but I imagined it would be an easy 4.0," said Tiffany Mora, a sophomore and human biology major from Macomb Township. "I was criticized by many. My friends would say, 'I'm not wasting my money on a class about zombies. What could you possibly learn?'"
For his part, Stutzky embraced that kind of skepticism.
"Controversy is part of having an idea worth sharing," he said.
Stutzky, who started as an instructor at Michigan State in 1996, also teaches Introduction to Social Work and a class on bullying. With the summer semester approaching, he thought the current pop-culture obsession with the undead might be a nice entry point for students.
So he went all out, producing a "teaser" video — starring him — that introduces the coming zombie outbreak that is at center of the course and interacted with students throughout the seven weeks via Facebook, Twitter and a YouTube channel. The class even employed what Stutzky said was the country's first "embedded" librarian in a college course (her unofficial title: head zombrarian).
His mantra: "Be interesting."
It appears to have paid off.
Nearly 180 students completed the course and were placed in groups, where they were tasked with developing ways to survive the zombie onslaught.
Danielle Brophy's group met weekly on Facebook.
"I can tell you that I'd feel safe running from zombies with them," said the 29-year-old psychology major from East Lansing.
Mora, 19, was the leader of her group, which, she said, successfully avoided a pitfall that could have ended with their demise.
"One of the challenges we faced was to decide whether or not to let someone desperately pounding on the door inside our barricaded shelter," she said. "Our group unanimously agreed to keep him out, and as a result he was mutilated and killed.
"But it was a good decision. Later on we found out he was infected. He would have zombified in our safe house."
Stutzky said the class will be offered next summer, but unlike this summer's version, it'll be available to undergraduate and graduate students alike.
And non-students as well, such as Frank Hahnel, 35, of Maitland, Fla., who works for a company that manufactures 3D Laser Scanning equipment for law enforcement.
He signed on as a "lifelong student" after having his interest piqued while seeing the course description online.
"Believe it or not, I did end up learning a lot in the course," Hahnel said. "It wasn't a course that you could just sit back and do nothing, and still get an 'A' or 'B.'"

And That Happened
by Craig CalcaterraOctober 17, 2012
Tigers 2, Yankees 1: It's kinda crazy that the following two things are both true: (a) Justin Verlander didn't have his best stuff; and (b) Justin Verlander took a two-hit shutout into the ninth inning. That's every bit the testament to the Yankees' offensive futility as it is to Verlander's greatness, of course.
The big question: why didn't Joe Girardi pinch hit someone -- be it Nick Swisher or A-Rod -- for Raul Iabanez against Phil Coke in the ninth inning with the Yankees threatening? I understand that if A-Rod comes in that Leyland brings in a righty. And I understand that both he and the switch-hitting Swisher are in funks so bad that Bootsy Collins looks at them and says "damn." But Raul Ibanez against a lefty killer is a pretty awful matchup no matter how you slice it, and it makes me feel like Girardi was proving a point just as much as he was managing to win last night.

BUCHANAN, N.Y. – Buchanan resident and vendor who foiled a terrorist plot in Times Square, Duane Jackson, says he will run against other Democratic congressional challengers to Nan Hayworth (R-Mount Kisco) in New York's June Democratic primary. Jackson recently announced his candidacy and participated in a late-January debate in Peekskill, but has not filed official candidacy paperwork with the Federal Election Commission.
Jackson has been a street vendor in New York City for the last 20 years, hawking everything from scarves to watches to golf clubs. He is the man who alerted police to the smoking SUV in Times Square on May 1, 2010, which was later determined to be a bomb attempt.
In an interview Friday, the Navy veteran Jackson, said he envisioned himself as a candidate who "would bring different segments of the Hudson Valley together in a bipartisan way." His website detailed some "issues that he champions," a long list which includes "support of senior citizens," "job creation," and "energy independence."
Jackson has had some experience in government, he says as a deputy director of New York City's Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) agency in Brooklyn, 1988-89, and as a planner for the New York City Department of Education from 1983 to 1988. He said his last position in government was not "a good fit," and began his street vending business soon after.
The most well-funded candidates in the race are Dr. Richard Becker who has raised $228,477 according to Dec. 31 filings with the FEC, and incumbent Hayworth, who has raised close to $1.4 million. Until Jackson files paperwork with the FEC, there's no way of knowing who his donors are, although he says he has raised "tens of thousands" of dollars through small business owners like himself and that his campaign "is right on the edge" of filing with the FEC.
According to FEC officials, candidates must file with the FEC after raising or spending $5,000, or else an official complaint can be filed with the FEC. Official complaints can results in remedial action being ordered by the FEC, or civil penalties.
Jackson's website says if he were elected to Congress, he would support "federal government tightening its budget belt," although he also said he would like to undertake infrastructure repairs to grow jobs. He also said he would support a 20-year re-licensing of Indian Point power plants.
Some of Jackson's other platforms include reforming education by adding more days to the school year, and putting more technology in classrooms. He said he could not comment on the new teacher evaluation deal reached by the New York State Department of Education and New York teachers unions, or on the effect of New York State's tax cap on school districts, because he has not had time to study it.
About the job Hayworth is doing, Jackson said, "I think quite frankly she's too conservative for the district, I don't think her conservative views are in line with the working class views of the district."
Becker has already been endorsed by the Cortlandt Democratic Committee, and Matthew Alexander has been endorsed by the Poughkeepsie and Fishkill Democratic Committees. If Jackson is on the ballot, he will need to primary Becker for the Democratic endorsement for the 19th Congressional District in June. Some confusion remains about district lines, as New York State is losing two Congressional seats because population growth did not keep pace with other states.

Gas leak lets district test evacuation planSUBLETTE – A gas leak Wednesday morning in a Sublette neighborhood offered school officials a chance to test the district's crisis evacuation plan – and gave most students an early release for the day.A crew setting electric power poles ruptured the 2-inch natural gas line in an alley between two residences shortly before 11 a.m., said Haskell County Undersheriff Derrick Ploutz, prompting the evacuation of a three-block radius around the break.
The break was in the alley between Manor Court and Deal Drive, directly across from the Sublette High School / Middle School property. The evacuation area included 26 homes, Ploutz said, though he wasn't sure how many residents were actually home at the time. Officials allowed residents to return home just before 2 p.m. The district has had an evacuation plan in place for several years, but never had to use it, said Superintendent Rex Bruce. The school staff reviewed the plan with the School Resource Officer just a few weeks ago. "It was a great practice, and a good day for, since it wasn't terrible," Bruce said. "After everything was over with, there wasn't a huge danger and now we know what to do if a fire struck or there's a gas leak inside the building or something else. We feel a lot more comfortable making it happen." The district evacuated about 250 students and staff, Undersheriff Ploutz said. The district was able to get the students loaded on buses and moved to another building off site in about 20 minutes. "I don't know if that was good or bad," Bruce said of the amount of time the evacuation took. "We'll have a debriefing this afternoon. The bus man wanted it faster. But by the time you call in the drivers, get the buses to school and get everyone on and to a different site, I think it was decent." Bruce declined to say how far the students were bused or provide any information about the alternate site, other than that the site was just a holding area, with no classes conducted there. "From start to finish, we were there about two hours," Bruce said. "We called the parents and let the kids out of school at lunch. We kept those who couldn't check out and fed them lunch and then bused them back to be released at the normal school time." He estimated 75 percent of the students were able to leave over the lunch hour. "I'm sure we do have things" to learn from the incident, Bruce said. "One thing we did learn – with all the bad things people say about kids, the stuff they do, this and that – is that they were perfect. There was not one incident of kids trying to slip out or anything. It was pretty chaotic, but the kids pitched in and helped." Student Council President Jake Gesling, for example, Bruce said, acted as a liaison, going to find students to release when their parents arrived. "We know the students, of course, but he could find them quicker," Bruce said. "I was more pleased with the students than anything." "It could have been a pretty intense situation," Ploutz said. "But everything worked out well, considering." |

LAYTON — Funk Toast is shooting for the stars. Literally.
The recently re-united band, which will be performing at the Gangrene Film Festival on Sept. 14 under the name Space Funk Toast, has come back together with a focus on astronauts, aliens, and outer space.
"We played a reunion show for SLC Nerd, and had so much fun we decided to take that show and turn it up a little bit," said Nybo, a member of the group. "We've got dancers, lights, and smoke."
The band, who first performed together in the mid '90s, has made guest appearances at previous year's Gangrene festivals under different incarnations. SLC Nerd, the convention the group performed at this past March, is also sponsored by the Gangrene Film Festival.
This time, though, the band decided to take the one-time idea and run with it. The band is accepting bookings at their website, funktoast.com, and as a seven-song MP3 album called "The Pan-Galactic Primer" available for purchase.
The site also features a multi-chapter space epic called "Funk Toast and the Pan-Galactic Prom Show." Written by Nybo, the serial tells the story of the band's first interstellar booking.
"Science Fiction Larry, with exhaustive testing, had developed what he called musical-psionics," reads part of the most recent chapter. "His studies dealt with the effect of music on the human mind and genes."
Nybo said the story mixes truth and humor.
"It's kind of the fantasy behind the band," he said. "Take out the space travel, and it's pretty much a true story."

The protesters, many brandishing banners and flags, braved sometimes heavy rains on their 3-mile- (5-kilometer-) long march through Santiago.
Though most of the protest took place without incident, at one point a few masked students hurled stones at police and lobbed a Molotov cocktail at a car, setting it alight. Police responded swiftly, putting out the burning vehicle and retaliating with tear gas and water cannons.
Student protests have rocked this country on South America's southwest coast for more than a year and their fight for an educational overhaul here has captured headlines worldwide. Thursday's march was the third this year.
The government has responded to student pressure by making some changes, but student leaders insist they don't go far enough.
Chile is beset by poor-quality public schools and expensive private universities benefiting from state funding, and many students face huge educational loan debts.

Mechanics: Circular Motion and Gravitation
Circular Motion and Gravitation: Problem Set Overview
This set of 27 problems targets your ability to combine Newton's laws and circular motion and gravitation equations in order to analyze the motion of objects moving in circles, including orbiting satellites. Problems range in difficulty from the very easy and straight-forward to the very difficult and complex. The more difficult problems are color-coded as blue problems.
Motion Characteristics of Objects Moving in Circles
Objects moving in circles have a speed which is equal to the distance traveled per time of travel. The distance around a circle is equivalent to a circumference and calculated as 2•pi•R where R is the radius. The time for one revolution around the circle is referred to as the period and denoted by the symbol T. Thus the average speed of an object in circular motion is given by the expression 2•pi•R / T. Often times the problem statement provides the rotational frequency in revolutions per minute or revolutions per second. Each revolution around the circle is equivalent to a circumference of distance. Thus, multiplying the rotational frequency by the circumference allows one to determine the average speed of the object.
The acceleration of objects moving in circles is based primarily upon a direction change. The actual acceleration rate is dependent upon how rapidly the direction is being change and is directly related to the speed and inversely related to the radius of the turn. It ends up that the acceleration is given by the expression v2 / R where v is the speed and R is the radius of the circle.
The equations for average speed (v) and average acceleration (a) are summarized below.
v = d / t = 2•pi•R / T = frequency • 2•pi•R
a = v2 / R
Directional Quantities for Objects Moving in Circles
A successful mathematical analysis of objects moving in circles is heavily dependent upon a conceptual understanding of the direction of the acceleration and net force vectors. Movement along a circular path requires a net force directed towards the center of the circle. At every point along the path, the net force must be directed inwards. While there may be an individual force pointing outward, there must be an inward force which overwhelms it in magnitude and meets the requirement for an inward net force. Since net force and acceleration are always in the same direction, the acceleration of objects moving in circles must also be directed inward.
Free Body Diagrams and Newton's Second Law
Often times a force analysis must be conducted upon an object moving in circular motion. The goal of the analysis is either to determine the magnitude of an individual force acting upon the object or to use the values of individual forces to determine an acceleration. Like any force analysis problem, these problems should begin with the construction of a free-body diagram showing the type and direction of all forces acting upon the object. From the diagram, an Fnet = m•a equation can be written. When writing the equation, recall that the Fnet is the vector sum of all the individual forces. It is best written by adding all forces acting in the direction of the acceleration (inwards) and subtracting those which oppose it. Two examples are shown in the graphic below.
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
Orbiting satellites are simply projectiles - objects upon which the only force is gravity. The force which governs their motion is the force of gravitational attraction to the object which is at the center of their orbit. Planets orbit the sun as a result of the gravitational force of attraction to the sun. Natural moons orbit planets as a result of the gravitational force of attraction to the planet. Gravitation is a force which acts over large distances in such a manner that any two objects with mass will attract. Newton was the first to propose a theory to describe this universal mass attraction and to express it mathematically. The law, known as the law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravitational attraction is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between their centers. In equation form,
Fgrav = G • m1 • m2 / d2
where m1 and m2 are the masses of the attracting objects (in kg) and d is the separation distance as measured from object center to object center (in meters) and G is the proportionality constant (sometimes referred to as the universal gravitation constant). The value of G is 6.673 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
Acceleration of Gravity
Since orbiting satellites are acted upon solely by the force of gravity, their acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity (g). On earth's surface, this value was 9.8 m/s2. For locations other than Earth's surface, there is a need for an equation which expresses g in terms of relevant variables. The acceleration of gravity depends upon the mass of the object which is at the center of the orbit (Mcentral) and the separation distance from that object (d). The equation which relates these two variables to the acceleration of gravity is derived from Newton's law of universal gravitation. The equation is
g = G • Mcentral / d2
where G is 6.673 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
Orbital Speed
The speed required of a satellite to remain in an orbit about a central body (planet, sun, other star, etc.) is dependent upon the radius of orbit and the mass of the central body. The equation expressing the relationship between these variables is derived by combining circular motion definitions of acceleration with Newton's law of universal gravitation. The equation is
v = SQRT (G • Mcentral / R)
where Mcentral is the mass of the central body about which the satellite orbits, R is the radius of orbit and G is 6.673 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
Orbital Period
For the general motion of an object in a circle, the period is related to the radius of the circle and the speed of the object by the equation v = 2 • pi • R / T. In the case of an orbiting satellite, this equation for speed can be equated with the equation for the orbital speed derived from universal gravitation to derive a new equation for orbital period. The result of the derivation is
T2 / R3 = 4 • pi2 / (G • Mcentral )
where Mcentral is the mass of the central body about which the satellite orbits, R is the radius of orbit and G is 6.673 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2. Expressed in this manner, the equation shows that the ratio of period squared to the radius cubed for any satellite that is orbiting a central body is the same regardless of the nature of the satellite or the radius of its orbit. This ratio is only dependent upon the mass of the object which pulls the orbiting satellite inward. This principle is consistent with as Kepler's third law of planetary motion.
Summary of Mathematical Formulas
One difficulty a student may encounter in this problem set is the confusion as to which formula to use. The table below provides a useful summary of the formulas pertaining to circular motion and satellite motion. In the table, many of the formulas were derived from other equations. Thus, there will often be more than one means of determining an unknown quantity. In approaching these problems, it is suggested that you practice the usual habits of an effective problem-solver; identify known and unknown quantities in the form of the symbols of physics formulas, plot out a strategy for using the knowns to solve for the unknown, and then finally perform the necessary algebraic steps and substitutions required for the solution.
To calculate ... | ... use the equation(s): |
Speed (v) |
v = 2 • pi • R / T v = SQRT (G • Mcentral / R) for satellites only |
Acceleration (a) |
a = v2 / R or a = Fnet / m a = g = G • Mcentral / d2 for satellites only |
Net force (Fnet) |
Fnet = m • a or Fnet = m • v2 / R Fnet = Fgrav = G • msat • Mcentral / d2 for satellites only |
Period (T) |
T = 2 • pi • R / v T2 = 4 • pi2 / (G • Mcentral ) • R3 for satellites only |
Habits of an Effective Problem-Solver
An effective problem solver by habit approaches a physics problem in a manner that reflects a collection of disciplined habits. While not every effective problem solver employs the same approach, they all have habits which they share in common. These habits are described briefly here. An effective problem-solver...
- ...reads the problem carefully and develops a mental picture of the physical situation. If needed, they sketch a simple diagram of the physical situation to help visualize it.

Yoga, Ayurveda, Patriarchy and Disease

The vast majority of original yoga and ayurveda was practiced by the "people" – who had neither means, nor time (as householders) to travel and teach. If they did, though, the West would have received a set of yoga teachings that were much more practical, healthy and effective for householders.

(Helps to soothe restless babies)
Ewan's actual heartbeat/womb sound combinations mimic the noise babies hear in the womb and are proven to be effective at settling and calming your baby. Combined with the comforting pink glow, Ewan helps ease the transition from womb to world.
Ewan the Dream Sheep is soft and cuddly and can be used as a hand held toy or can be attached to the Cot side. He has gentle womb, rain or musical sounds and has a gentle pink glowing light in his chest.
Ewan is a godsend! He is very adorable to look at and his comforting heart beat noise mixed with the melody option is perfect to sooth baby and it also sends myself and my husband off to sleep when we're in the same room! ;o) Clearly a great invention - can't rate it highly enough! :o)
This was a gift for a friend, my daughter has one and swares buy it. Lovely soft material and soothing sounds. A beautiful gift for a new parent.
Bought this after reading the other reviews. Ewan the wonder sheep as we call him. helps soothe my two little granddaughters & looks so cute with it. Would definitely buy for anyone I know having a baby. Not a miracle worker obviously, can't help if they are really hungry but comes into its own when they are a little grisly. Think will work even better as they grow & can appreciate the lovely glow Ewan gives off

Republicans on Monday stepped up attempts to undermine Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's unsubstantiated allegations that Mitt Romney went 10 years without paying taxes, saying Reid and other Democrats' accusations are being orchestrated by President Barack Obama's campaign - specifically his senior campaign adviser David Axelrod.
To that end, Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer noted that Axelrod visited Senate Democrats for their weekly lunch last Tuesday. Later that afternoon the Huffington Post story published with Reid's allegations about the presumptive GOP nominee not paying any taxes.
"You've got to wonder if the so-called source is Axelrod himself," Spicer told CNN. "Hours after meeting with Axelrod, Reid comes out and makes baseless accusations?"
Axelrod flatly denied that allegation, calling it "completely false" and saying he "never had any such discussion."
"Instead of pointing fingers in every direction, they can put the whole matter to rest by simply observing the standard George Romney and a generation of candidates have set by releasing the returns," Axelrod told CNN.
In a separate article posted Monday, the Huffington Post wrote that they interviewed Reid days before Axelrod's visit, making any influence from the top Obama official's Capitol Hill visit impossible.
Reid himself remarked on the dust-up Monday in Nevada, telling reporters the dust-up could be solved by Romney simply releasing his tax information.
"This whole issue is not about me," Reid said. "Mitt Romney's the first presidential candidate since his dad ran not to release his income tax returns. He's released one income tax return and that points toward the Bahamas, Switzerland, and a few other foreign countries. This whole controversy will end very quickly if he releases his income tax returns, like everybody else has done."
Romney has released his tax return from 2010, and an estimate from 2011. He has vowed to release his full 2011 return once it's completed.
Multiple Democratic sources insist Reid made the allegations against Romney on his own, but also admit the Obama campaign is not telling Reid to back off.
Meanwhile, Reid's chief of staff David Krone insisted Monday, again, that he knows who Reid's source is - and that the source is credible.
"I know who this person is, and if I thought this person was not credible, I would say something to Senator Reid. I would try to shut it down. This person is credible," Krone said.
"This person has asked Reid to protect the confidentiality of this person, but it's real," he continued. "This person told him this. This person said it to Senator Reid."
Romney himself pushed back against Reid's accusations twice last week, telling the majority leader to either "put up or shut up" and calling the reports false. Republicans, including RNC Chairmen Reince Priebus, backed up the presumptive GOP nominee Sunday morning on news shows.
"I'm not going to respond to a dirty liar who hasn't filed a single page of tax returns himself (and) complains about people with money but lives in the Ritz-Carlton here down the street," Priebus said on ABC News. "And the fact that we're going to spend any time talking about it is ridiculous."
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina also came out against Reid's statements, saying the majority leader was "making things up."
"What he did on the floor of the Senate is so out of bounds. I think he's lying about his statement, of knowing something about Romney," Graham said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

Birds of Prey a big draw
GEDDES -- A bit of the wild is at the State Fair Park: Rick West has brought his 'hobby'---hawks, falcons and owls for Fairgoers to see and get pictures with.
West is a retired state parks worker from Adams and was asked to fill in for his friend who used to show birds of prey at the fair for decades (but now has a contract elsewhere)--and he says he's glad to do it, to also promote state parks.
At noon, he showed us a Spectacled Owl, native to Brazil, though Rick bred this bird himself (after the cameras were off he told us his power went out two days before the owl was set to hatch, so he carried the egg in his armpit to keep it warm.)--the things you learn at the State Fair!

This is a hyperbolic pseudosphere—made with nothing more than yarn and a crochet hook.
Hyperbolic geometry describes surfaces that are negatively curved. Negative curvature appears in coral reefs, kale leaves and Pringles potato chips. A surface with negative curvature is at every point like a saddle—your legs rest on a surface that curves down whereas the front and back of the saddle curve up.
In the past decade or so many mathematicians have embraced crochet both as a way to visualize difficult concepts in hyperbolic geometry and as an outreach activity: With a little instruction and practice, even high school students can create their own hyperbolic models.
Pictured here, the pseudosphere is a hyperbolic surface that has constant negative curvature. It is named in analogy to the sphere, which has constant positive curvature (every point is just as curvy as every other point). Some would call this a half-pseudosphere; it is analogous to one hemisphere of a globe, with the point sticking up in the middle (held up by orange yarn in this picture) the "north pole."
Daina Taimina is the mathematician who first used crochet to create models of the hyperbolic plane. She noticed that paper models were quite fragile and wanted something sturdier that allowed freer manipulation and exploration of hyperbolic space. She turned to yarn. Creating negative curvature using crochet is relatively simple: in each row, you add stitches at a constant rate. The more frequently stitches are added, the curlier (and more negatively curved) the surface gets.
Sean Lawton, an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Texas–Pan American, is one of the many mathematicians who has followed in Taimina's footsteps. He uses hyperbolic crochet as an outreach and teaching tool. He has worked with students from middle school to college as well as given public lectures, demonstrations and even crochet instructional sessions at libraries and museums.
The pseudosphere shown here was created by Claudia Carranza, an undergraduate student who worked with Lawton before she became a public school teacher. For this project, she added a stitch every three stitches. As you can see, the border gets very curly. She made this piece over the course of a year but says, "If I had sat down and worked nonstop, I figure it might have taken me about a week."
–Evelyn Lamb
I learned to crochet as a child. Now retired I was just getting back to it and found hyperbolic crochet while investigating coral reefs. The combination of mathematics and craft/art is wonderful.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisLooks a lot like a mating ball of tree snakes to me...
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisOh....at first I thought it said hypergolic. Now that would be quite a yarn!
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIf I could crochet, I would crochet the perfect hyperbolic sphere by crocheting a ball, leaving an opening into where I would jump, and then crochet the opening closed from the inside. I would now be in an environment that had only negatively curved surfaces.

Happy exploring hyperbolic geometry! :-)
Interesting. The Japanese have perfected a unique traditional craft creating geometrical patterns on a sphere using colored yarns. http://www.temarikai.com/.
As for needlework and physics there is a story (I think in "Thirty Years That Shook Physics" ?) that Paul Dirac was watching his friend's wife knit something. After a long while he told here there is another way to make that stitch - and she said she knew it.

A blog I keep up with (because its a great blog and coincidentally, I'm related to the dude) called, People helping people. Powerful stuff., has a great article this week on cutting the cable cord. He lays out for those of us that are considering making this change the steps he is going through and the costs associated with removing cable TV from his life and going all-in on digital.
I wonder how many of you have made this change and the challenges that you've come across or surprises/lessons you've learned. It's something I think about all the time. The ability to be free of the cost and shackles of the cable TV empire and help start the movement to "Internet TV" is something I want to be a part of.
However, I still think Cuban makes some great points in this debate he had with the founder of Boxee. Mainly, we the people might want this change to occur but creating the content is going to be the tricky part. Also, I beat Avner (Boxee founder) in ping pong once. That has to figure in here somewhere ;)
But this is a good trend to help with that. Kaw-kaw, kaw-kaw…inside joke. Anyone?
And this is a great start to disrupting the cable companies. Please, please, please bring this to Atlanta, Google.
Who else has tried this and what have you learned?

Children passive smoking effects
Children and women in times of pregnancy are at greater risk than adults on the negative effects of smoke snuff. They are still developing physically, but their breathing rate is faster than that of adults. Children inhale and express from approximately 14 to 18 times per minute and the newborns can breathe up to 60 times per minute.
When the air is flawed by the cigarette smoke, the lungs in development of children receive a greater concentration of inhaled toxins; besides that young children have less control over their environment than adults and the whole house air is flawed.
It is important to note:
- ● Infants whose mothers smoked during pregnancy tend to weigh less at birth than non-smoking mothers.
