The fired ex-California cop who set off a region-wide manhunt after allegedly shooting three police officers this morning -- one fatally -- had initially gone to a yacht club near San Diego where police say he attempted to steal a boat and flee to Mexico.
Police say that former police officer Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, who officials believe posted an online manifesto outlining his plan to "terminate" his former colleagues and their families, is armed with a long gun and might have several other guns and high-capacity magazines. He is also believed to have access to military uniforms because he has served in the Navy.
"We are considering him armed and dangerous," Lt. Julia Engen of the Irvine Police Department said.
Police allege that he went to the yacht club Wednesday night at Point Loma, Calif., near San Diego to steal the boat. He aborted the attempted theft when the boat's propeller became entangled in a rope, law enforcement officials said. It was at that point he is believed to have headed to Riverside, where he allegedly shot two police officers.
"He pointed a handgun at the victim [at the yacht club] and demanded the boat," Lt. David Rohowits of the San Diego Police Department said.
Police say the rifle marksman shot at four officers in two incidents overnight, hitting three of them: one in Corona, Calif., and the two in Riverside, Calif.
Sgt. Rudy Lopez of the LAPD said two LAPD officers were in Corona and headed out on special detail to check on one of the individuals named in Dorner's manifesto. Dorner allegedly grazed one of them but missed the other.
"[This is an] extremely tense situation," Lopez said. "We call this a manhunt. We approach it cautiously because of the propensity of what has already happened."
The Riverside Police Department said two of its officers were shot before one of them died, KABC-TV reported. The other is in stable condition with two gunshot wounds, police say.
"They were on routine patrol stopped at a stop light when they were ambushed," Lt. Guy Toussant of the Riverside police department said.
In the manifesto Dorner published online, he threatened at least 12 people by name, along with their families.
"Your lack of ethics and conspiring to wrong a just individual are over. Suppressing the truth will leave to deadly consequences for you and your family," Dorner wrote in his manifesto.
A badge and identification belonging to Dorner have been found in San Diego, according to San Diego police Sgt. Ray Battrick. Dorner's LAPD badge and ID were found by someone near the city's airport, and turned in to police overnight, The Associated Press reported.
Police around Southern California are wearing tactical gear, including helmets and guns across their chests. The light-up signs along California highways show the license plate number of Dorner's car, and say to call 911 if it is seen. The problem, police say, is that they believe Dorner is switching license plates on his car, a 2005 charcoal-gray Nissan Titan pickup truck.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck said today that 40 protective details have been deployed to protect officers and their families.
"We are taking all measures possible to ensure safety of our officers and their families," he said.
Dorner is also believed to be responsible for the weekend slayings of an assistant women's college basketball coach and her fiancé in what cops believe are acts of revenge against the LAPD, as suggested in his online manifesto.
Lawrence was found slumped behind the wheel of his white Kia in the parking lot of their upscale apartment complex in Irvine Sunday and Quan was in the passenger seat.
"A particular interest at this point in the investigation is a multi-page manifesto in which the suspect has implicated himself in the slayings," Maggard said.
Police said Dorner's manifesto included threats against members of the LAPD. Police say they are taking extra measures to ensure the safety of officers and their families.
The document, allegedly posted on an Internet message board this week, apparently blames Quan's father, retired LAPD Capt. Randy Quan, for his firing from the department.
One passage from the manifesto reads, "I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty."
"I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own," it reads. "I'm terminating yours."
Dorner was with the department from 2005 until 2008, when he was fired for making false statements.
Randy Quan, who became a lawyer in retirement, represented Dorner in front of the Board of Rights, a tribunal that ruled against Dorner at the time of his dismissal, LAPD Capt. William Hayes told The Associated Press Wednesday night.
According to documents from a court of appeals hearing in October 2011, Dorner was fired from the LAPD after he made a complaint against his field-training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans, saying in the course of an arrest she had kicked a suspect who was a schizophrenic with severe dementia.
After an investigation, Dorner was fired for making false statements.
"We have strong cause to believe Dorner is armed and dangerous," Maggard said.
Donner was also a Navy reservist who'd just finished his military career as a lieutenant Friday. His only overseas deployment was to a Navy base in Bahrain. He also received a Rifle Marksman Ribbon and Pistol Expert Medal, meaning he received superior scores when he tested at the range.
A Navy official confirms Naval Base Point Loma is on lockdown.
Police say Dorner is black, 6-feet tall and weighs 270 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes, and believed to be driving the Nissan pickup truck.
Meanwhile, Cal State-Fullerton is still mourning the loss of their beloved assistant coach.
"There are really no words to convey the sadness that our program feels, that the young women who have had the privilege of working with such a bright and passionate woman," head coach Marcia Foster said earlier this week. "I want to especially send out condolences to Randal and Sylvia Quan, and her brother Ryan."
After college, Quan coached at Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks and has spent the past two years as an assistant coach at Cal State-Fullerton. The university has posted a memorial page on its sports website dedicated to Quan.
Lawrence was a business graduate who recently started working as a public-safety officer at USC.

German Auto Makers to Shake Up Luxury Market
Germany's luxury car makers, fresh from record 2012 sales, plan to launch new, lower priced models that would draw younger, less affluent U.S. customers away from mass market brands such as Ford Motor Co. , Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp.
On Monday, BMW AG unveiled a new version of its top-selling 3 Series sedan designed to have a starting price about $4,000 less than its current least-expensive $37,000 U.S. 3 Series. A day earlier, Daimler AG showed its coming 4-cyclinder Mercedes-Benz CLA, which executives hinted could start at a price just below $30,000. Audi is working on 2014 release of a four-door version of its new A3 compact expected to cost in the mid- to high $20,000 range in the U.S.
See Related Video on #WorldStream
The three vehicles represent the most concerted effort in a decade to lower the barrier to entry to their brands in the U.S. The vehicles are also destined for China. The key target, especially for Mercedes, are consumers in their 20s, 30s and early 40s whose numbers rival the size of the baby boom generation.
"This group is 75 million strong," Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said during Sunday's launch of the CLA ahead of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Scott Keogh, head of Audi's U.S. operations, says a lower-cost A3 sedan has the potential to could become the second or third highest volume model in Audi's U.S. lineup, attracting younger buyers and the "host of people moving out of non-luxury brands."
Their plans present a potential threat to Detroit's efforts to push loaded versions of mainstream sedans such as the Ford Fusion and Chrysler 300 above $30,000. Brands such as Lexus, Acura or Cadillac also could face more pressure.
The German brands face some risks as well. Cheaper sedans could cut into sales of their more expensive models. It is also not clear that U.S. consumers affluent enough to buy or lease a $30,000 to $35,000 car will flock to small cars or utility vehicles originally designed with Europe's high gas prices in mind.
Mark Reuss, General Motors Co.'s head of North America, says such down market moves haven't succeed in the past, citing BMW's 1-series push in the U.S. He said the lower-priced German cars likely would disrupt their own used-car sales.
Executives at the three German brands say they can offer lower priced models thanks to a combination of streamlined engineering and manufacturing operations that can produce vehicles at lower cost. The weakening of the euro's value against the dollar as Europe's financial crisis has ground on also makes it easier for the German brands to sell their small, European-built models profitably in the U.S.
Mercedes hopes to win young, affluent buyers such as 33-year-old Andy Yang. Mr. Yang, a New York online marketing director, says his parents always admired Mercedes cars, but he has been more drawn to BMW's more youthful, high-performance reputation.
Shopping for a new car in November, he took a cursory look at a Mercedes but wound up buying a BMW 335 compact sports sedan instead. "To me, BMW represents sporty and luxurious," Mr. Yang says. "Mercedes is just luxurious."
He isn't alone. In the U.S., the average age of a Mercedes owner is 52, three to four years older than the typical driver who steers toward BMW or Volkswagen 's AG's Audi, according to researcher R.L. Polk & Co. The German luxury-sedan stalwart is losing even more of those younger buyers to rivals' sport utility vehicles and smaller sedans. That is a problem especially in new luxury markets such as China, where the average millionaire is in his or her early 40s.
"We need to keep our ecosystem healthy, and that includes replenishing it with new buyers who can come in at the lower end of the brand," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes-Benz's U.S. operations chief. The younger they start driving a Mercedes, the more they're likely to buy higher-end versions as they get older and wealthier, he says. "If there is a risk, it's not doing this."
Mercedes's CLA marketing campaign kicks off during the Super Bowl next month with an ad featuring the singer Usher and swimsuit model Kate Upton. Beyond the 60-second TV spot, the game itself is being played in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Mercedes says it bought the stadium's 10-year naming rights for a reported $100 million to $120 million knowing the stadium would host the mega media event in the same year it would launch a product "whose sole purpose is to bring in a new generation of buyers," Mr. Cannon says.
Mercedes has been wrestling with its aging customer demographics for some time. Four years ago, it created an online community of several hundred 20- and 30-something customers, dubbed "Generation Benz," whom Mercedes marketing teams regularly consult about their habits and preferences. To Mercedes's surprise, for instance, the group has been drawn to the brand's 125-year heritage, and so a number of its ads since have played up images of its 1950s roadsters and other vintage Mercedes.
The pressure to woo younger buyers is growing as the buying habits of its traditional, older clientele also are changing. Many affluent baby boomers are shunning the conservative sedans preferred by older generations past in favor of smaller, sportier versions.
"Older car buyers tend to be more cautious," says Jesse Toprak, a senior analyst with industry researcher and forecasting company TrueCar.com. "When they hear the word recession, they stop purchasing, especially when it comes to something big expensive."

Hyundai, Kia Must Provide More Answers to Senate About False MPG Claims

Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach their customers by December 14, 2012
Hyundai Motors Co. and Kia Motors are both in hot water
over exaggerated estimated gas mileage claims
, and the senate wants answers.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee who oversees auto issues, wants Hyundai and Kia to explain how it will reach and compensate its 900,000 customers after inflating its MPG claims.
So far, Hyundai and Kia have said they would reimburse customers and add a 15 percent premium by sending out debit cards that can be reloaded in the future. The automakers could spend over $100 million compensating for their exaggerations.
"While I believe this is a positive step, I am concerned that many affected customers may not learn about the program or may find it burdensome to participate in the program," said Rockefeller.
Rockefeller wants answers on how the automakers plan to reach these customers by December 14, 2012.
The Kia Soul got hit hard with the revised EPA ratings
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.
Some of the MPG window stickers that will require a change include the Hyundai Accent and the Kia Soul ECO. The Accent had its 30/40/33 (city/highway/combined) rating drop to 28/37/31. The Kia Soul ECO saw the biggest drop of any affected model going from 27/35/30 to 24/29/26.

There are plenty of pipelines currently being built all over. I bank a pipe coating company that that is on fire. 1/2 of the welding will be done by OilStates or LaBarge. Its called double jointing then it gets coated and truck to be welded in the field...this lowers the risk of bad welds.
There are not enough welders and the folks doing these jobs are hispanic. I know because I tour the fab shops here in Houston. They are paying wages as high as $32 per hour and that is high for Texas.
My neighbor works for a fab shop and he said that they told him that they were going to 12 hr shifts 6 days a week and he told them he was only good for 50 hours, but then said the hispanics would never leave if they would let them.
There are lots of jobs...folks just don't know how to do them or are to good to do them.

In the last two weeks, I put in for three days of vacation time. During those two weeks, I was granted the vacation days, but put on the schedule for 5 full work days both weeks. I mean what's the use of getting paid for vacation time off, when you are working your regular schedule anyway? It's unbelievable that a company as big as Wal-Mart could screw up that much. My next pay check will have 16 hours of vacation, 80 hours of regular hours, and 8 hours of holiday pay for the fourth of July. The check I got last Thursday had the other 8 hours of vacation time on it. If they keep screwing with me like that, I may go see an attorney.

Just got back from an out-of-state vacation, followed by an in-state one.
Eleven days in Ohio (great day at The Ohio State University, even the Barnes & Noble shop was cool, awesome that I could get into the Horseshoe; wonderful museums in Toledo and Columbus; attended a wedding and saw many relatives; saw a real night sky of stars for first time in a long time), Michigan (a 60th wedding anniversary and a nice downtown arts fair), and Pennsylvania (saw the Pittsburgh Pirates WIN A BASEBALL GAME ), then three days here with out-of-town family (Sea World, Universal Studious, local areas). Time to relax.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Next week I am set to go on vacation to Northern Wisconsin. I am taking my Fiance' to meet my dad and stepmom, as well as my brother and his family, and my youngest sister. Once again the fine fine Wal-Mart has screwed up again, and put my on the scedule to work Saturday, then paid for the next 6 days as vacation. I'm getting 7 paid days for the week. Two of those should be regular days off and either 5 vacation days, or 4 vacation days and one workday. I refuse to point it out to them. But basically after I get through that week, I will be out of paid time off until after March 2008.

Hey, I'm the first one to post in the vintage section of the new forums!
Ok, many of us know that www.gadders.com has taken over the insert and sticker warehousing duties that starwarsinserts.com used to do.
Gadders recently put in the Death Star stickers from the Kenner Death Star Playset.
My question is - where do they all go! I have my original Death Star, with what I THOUGHT were all the original stickers, but the only stickers it has are on the 1st floor control panels and the top floor tractor beam deactivation area. The sticker sheet at gadders has several other stickers, and I don't know where dey go! These stickers I'm questioning are the row of 5 (or so) red dots.
I have an original Death Star Instruction sheet, but it only describes assembly and operation, and NOT sticker placement.
Can anybody help me out here?

If your garden rhubarb is abundant, or you've just bought some at the farmers' market, here's a great way to use it—in a delightful quick bread.
When buying rhubarb at the grocery store or farmers' market, look for crisp red stalks with blemish-free green leaves. Cut the rhubarb as you would celery; if the stalks are large, cut in half lengthwise before chopping. Rhubarb leaves can be toxic, so be sure to only use the stalks of the plant.
Before starting a baking recipe, check the expiration date on your baking powder to make sure it's fresh.

Diploma Dash 2006
Get ready for 23rd Diploma Dash fundraiser
By Marcia Mattingly
Office of Alumni Programs
(Jan. 19, 2007)--The 23rd annual Diploma Dash 5K Run/Fitness Walk and City Championship Race, sponsored by the UTSA Alumni Association, is Saturday, Feb. 17 at the UTSA 1604 Campus. Diploma Dash raises money for the UTSA alumni scholarship program, UTSA track and cross country scholarships, and alumni programs and services.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Early registration starts at 8 a.m. and the race begins at 9 a.m. Diploma Dash also serves as San Antonio's City Championship Race and is part of the university's Homecoming Week activities. The event is sponsored this year by The Capital Group Companies, an international investment management firm with a sizable office in San Antonio.
This year, for the first time in its history, Diploma Dash will be chip-timed and each participant will wear a computer chip on his or her shoe, enhancing the speed and accuracy of race results.
The race entry fee is $20 through Wednesday, Feb. 14, and $30 on race day. UTSA students who register at the Office of Alumni Programs before race day can enter for $10 with UTSACard. Registration for corporate teams is $250. Each participant receives a long-sleeved Diploma Dash t-shirt and "goodie bag."
The racecourse at the 1604 Campus offers a certified 5K flat and fast course for accomplished runners as well as a scenic 1.5-mile course for those who prefer an easier pace.
UTSA alumni Danny Zimmermann ('01) of Cleary Zimmermann Engineers and Cathy Starnes ('92) of Southwest Business Corp. are co-chairs of this year's Diploma Dash committee. "We anticipate a great turnout," said Zimmerman. "The Diploma Dash always attracts the best runners, sponsors and alumni who want to give something back to UTSA."
Cash prizes, trophies and running shoes will be awarded for men's and women's open champions. An additional prize of a round-trip American Airlines ticket will be awarded to the two top winners. Each ticket is to one of 48 American Airlines cities in the continental United States, Mexico, Canada or Caribbean.
Men's and women's masters (40+ years) category winners will receive cash prizes and trophies. Custom medals will be awarded in 13 age categories and to the winners in the Clydesdale and Filly divisions. The Corporate Team Challenge, the ROTC Challenge and the Student Challenge also are popular aspects of the race. A corporate partner can give support without registering a company team.
Other sponsors for the event are Humana, San Antonio Express-News, H-E-B, Liberty Mutual, the Sciano family, Roger Soler Sports, Security Service Federal Credit Union, Southwest Business Corporation, Valero Energy Corp., Cleary Zimmermann Engineers and Right Images Printing.
Participants can register online at the Diploma Dash Web site and entry forms are available at San Antonio area sports stores.

Comment Ignorance may be bliss (Score 1) 4
IANAL, but in the US if you know about a patent and infringe upon it then that's considered "willful" infringement and they can triple the damages against you. Therefore many people in your position don't look at any patents whatsoever so they can plead innocence if a patent infringement occurs and minimize any potiential settlement. If you start looking for and reading over patents to try and cover your ass, you may end up digging a deeper hole later on. Given the huge number and scope of some patents, even if you do look you may miss one or think that one doesn't apply when a lawyer/judge thinks otherwise. If you start pulling in large amounts of cash, keep a good laywer on retainer and pray none of the big guys with large portfolios decide to come after you.

Start your commit message with a verb
I've been pair programming with a lot of different people, with a variety of skill levels, on Growstuff over the last year. One thing I've noticed is that some people freeze up when it comes to writing a commit message. They type "git commit" and then sit there for a minute going "uhhhh".
I understand this. It's hard to convert maybe an hour's hard work in code into a short sentence of English. How do you compress such complex ideas? How do you even make words, when your brain has been deep in code?
So here's the tip I give to my pairing buddies who freeze up when it comes time to commit, and I offer it here for free: Start your commit message with a verb.
The rest usually comes easily. What did you add? What did you fix? What did you refactor? Grammatically, this is the direct object, and starting with a verb works as an effective prompt to figure out what it might be.
Sometimes you need an indirect object as well ("Added planting_count to crops") or a reason ("Added planting_count to improve performance") but really, if you can get a verb and a direct object, you're most of the way there. And it's certainly better than "WTF!?" or "yay bugfixes!" or ".", all of which I've seen as commit messages.
You're welcome.
(Of course, if you don't freeze up when you have to write a commit message, then keep doing what works for you.)

"Apollo" isn't a name heard much these days. In mythology, Apollo is the god of music, healing and prophesy. In the 1960s, the Apollo space program was NASA's successful attempt to land men on the moon. In the 1970s, Apollo Creed was Rocky Balboa's nemesis in "Rocky."
Today, Apollo is top of mind for many in the tire industry after last week's announcement that the India-based Apollo Tyres Ltd. would merge with a larger rival, Ohio-based Cooper Tire & Rubber.
Apollo, the 16th-largest tire manufacturer in the world, is acquiring Cooper, the world's 11th-largest, in a deal worth $2.2 billion. Combined, they would become the seventh-largest tire company.
That would put them in front of Yokohama Rubber Co., the Japanese-based company that recently announced its plans to build a plant in West Point.
Of course, Apollo and Cooper officials said all the right things. How the merger would create a bigger, better, stronger company. How the deal would open new markets. How their cultures and values meshed and how they were good for each other.
They used buzzwords like "scale" and "optimization."
Apollo Chairman Onkar S. Kanwar called it a "transformational transaction."
But for Cooper workers in Tupelo, Texarkana, Ark., Findlay, Ohio, and elsewhere, their chief concern is what happens to their jobs and their pay.
Cooper, the only other U.S. tire maker other than Goodyear, soon will be foreign-owned.
Apollo said it plans to honor union contracts at Cooper and "generally maintain" pay and benefits for non-union workers.
But that leaves some room for interpretation, doesn't it?
Cooper officials said Apollo has assured them that they'll keep the U.S. factories open and keep Cooper's Findlay headquarters.
But mergers and acquisitions also mean looking at the overall cost structure to see where efficiencies can be gained. Officials said the merger should bring savings of $80 million $120 million a year in about three years.
While Cooper shares jumped after the announcement, Apollo investors weren't as impressed. Their biggest concern is that Apollo is taking on $2.5 billion in debt to make the deal.
Neeraj Kanwar, Apollo's vice chairman, said, "this transaction will maintain the networks and workforces in each organization's respective regions, while creating new opportunities in others."
Naturally, both companies will put their best spin on the deal. It's the nature of any M&A transaction.
I'm not trying to douse all the happy talk regarding the merger and the advantages the companies claim, but the reality is that people always will wonder when their company changes hands.
As Cooper CEO Roy Armes said himself, "Who knows what can change in five or 10 years? That's the nature of our business."

Lawrence checked the air pressure in one of his tires before driving to school on a cold winter day. The tire pressure gauge registered 32 pounds of force per square inch. After making the 10-mile trip to school, Lawrence checked the air pressure again. This time the gauge registered 34 pounds of force per square inch. Lawrence didn't add any air to the tire in between the two measurements, so why did air pressure in the tire increase?
Keep on Rolling
There was no additional air in the tire the second time Lawrence checked the air pressure, but something did change between the two measurements. The tires had rolled over 10 miles of road on the trip to school. Any time one surface moves over another, it causes friction. Friction is a force that opposes the motion of two surfaces that are touching, and friction between two surfaces always generates heat. Quickly rub your hands together and you'll feel the heat generated by the friction between them. As the tires moved over the road, friction between the tires and road generated heat. In short, the tires got warmer and so did the air inside them.
It's the Law!
The space inside a car tire is more-or-less fixed, so it has a constant volume. What happens when the volume of air is constant and its temperature increases? Lawrence found out the answer to that question when he measured the air pressure in his tire. Increasing the temperature of a gas such as air, while holding its volume constant, increases the pressure of the gas. This relationship between temperature and pressure of a gas is called Amontons' law. It was first proposed by a French scientist named Guillaume Amontons in the late 1600s. Amontons' gas law is just one of three commonly known gas laws. The other two are Boyle's law and Charles' law.
Q: How does Amontons' gas law explain the difference in air pressure in Lawrence's tire?
A: The tire—and the air inside it—got warmer because of friction with the road. The volume of air inside the tire was more-or-less constant, so the pressure of the air increased when it got warmer.
Particle Pressure
Why does the pressure of a gas increase as it gets warmer? Particles of a gas are constantly moving and bumping into things. The force of the collisions is measured by pressure. Pressure is the amount of force exerted on a given area, such as pounds of force per square inch. When gas particles heat up and gain energy, they move faster. This causes more collisions and greater pressure. Therefore, heating particles of gas in a closed space causes the pressure of the gas to increase. Explore the behavior of gas particles at different temperatures at the following URL. Change the temperature of the gas and watch what happens to its particles.
Q: Look at the graph in the simulation above as you change the temperature of the gas. What happens to the pressure of the gas as its temperature increases?
A: In the graph, the pressure of the gas increases as its temperature increases.
- According to Amontons' law, increasing the temperature of a gas while holding its volume constant increases the pressure of the gas.
- When gas particles heat up and gain energy, they move faster. This increases their collisions with each other and their container, causing greater pressure.

Watch the following simple demonstration, and then answer the questions below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFDS3bwAU-s (1:57)
- In this demonstration, when is the pressure of air inside the can greatest? Why?
- How is the volume of air inside the can kept constant after the can is heated?
- How can you tell that air pressure inside the can is lower after the can cools?
- State Amontons' law.
- Assume you have a sealed jug that contains only air. If you heat the air in the jug, it will have a higher temperature. What other property of the air will also change?
- A father does a classic experiment for his son, which is pictured in the Figure below. First, he put a small piece of paper in a glass bottle and lit the paper with a match. He immediately placed a shelled, hard-boiled egg over the bottle opening. The paper soon burned out, and after a few seconds, the egg slipped inside the bottle. Apply Amontons' law to explain why.

I can't disagree with you, Henlee, on how the R primary could play out. However, I really hope it is NOT Christie who is left standing in the end. I don't think he is as conservative as he appears, and he still seems to believe the Ds will play nice, and that would be very naive of him.
As for Hillary, you could be correct that voters have a short memory ... but the content of her character hasn't changed that I can see, and those injured by her complicity in corruption will not forget. Benghazi and her total lack of concern for what her actions resulted in should never be forgotten. I fully believe she would sacrifice any life that got in her way. And I'm sure Obama would send the IRS to her aid if he can, along with anything Holder and the DOJ can do to help her out.
Of all the things I might disagree with in the policies of Hillary or Obama, the most troubling to me is what they let happen in Benghazi and then could lie about so much with such unflappability, even directly to the families of the victims. They demonstrated to me that they would lie to get what they want. I can't find a way to trust someone that brazen in lying to be a good leader for this country. How can any country's leader trust such a person? Neither allies nor enemies can trust them. Pretty hard to negotiate anything when nobody at all believes you. Our voters may forget, but I doubt that the leaders who have to deal with them will forget so easily.

Dublin Airport (DUB)
When WestJet flies to this destination:
Seasonal service, take a look at when we fly.
Ireland's capital city of Dublin boasts an easily likeable disposition thanks to its inhabitants, affectionately called "the sons and daughters of Erin". With a long and colourful history, the gregarious folk of the Emerald Isle have a knack for preserving their unique culture and sharing it with visitors.
Dublin's roots stretch back more than 3,000 years (possibly many more) to thatched Celtic roofs, Viking settlements and druid stone sites. You can still trace Dublin's past along the cobblestone roads running through Gothic, Georgian and Victorian neighbourhoods nestled against the modern buildings and landmarks of today. The cosmopolitan side of Dublin complements the city's traditions while also acting as a centre of arts and education in Ireland.
Celtic monasteries were great protectors of knowledge during the Dark Ages. The intricate Book of Kells, containing biblical manuscripts thought to be produced in the 800s, has survived intact and well-preserved to this day; you'll find it on display at the Trinity College library. Other nostalgic treasures around Dublin include the National Museum of Ireland, the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin Castle and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
To worship at one of Dublin's other revered spots, head over to the Guinness Storehouse and pray over a "pint of plain". The fabled brewer has historically been one of Dublin's largest employers. You won't have trouble finding the black stuff at other establishments around the city, and the Temple Bar district serves as a popular meeting quarter. Dublin is teeming with pubs offering up a chance to drink, talk, dance and take in Celtic music.
Dublin is well known for its green space and gardens. The theme continues beyond the city to include the world-famous lush countryside. Take a tour of the rest of the island and you will find Norman castles, the Blarney Stone, the Giant's Causeway and the Cliffs of Moher. Ireland's compact nature makes it easy to get around and see all of the tale-worthy sites.
You might even come away wondering if the stunning local geography may be partly responsible for inspiring Dublin's literary pedigree over the years. Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Jonathan Swift and George Bernard Shaw all called Dublin home. James Joyce was also born in Dublin and set some of his most famous works in the city.
WestJet has a modest proposal for you: Instead of trying to struggle through the pages of Joyce's Dubliners, why not see Dublin with your own eyes? Seasonal flights leave daily from St. John's and connect from other Canadian cities.
We do not have any photos and videos of yet.
You can help though!

TUPELO – Tupelo Police arrested a group of teens and young adults they say they can tie to the majority of the city's burglaries between July 25 and Oct. 4.
Last week, police charged Tupelo residents Lavoris Cayson, 19, Justin Ware, 18, Jamal Faulkner, 19, and Delvechio Morris, 19, with auto burglary, burglary of commercial buildings, motor vehicle theft and grand larceny.
Sgt. Lynette Sandlin said arrests also were made on multiple juvenile suspects.
The first incident was a July 25 burglary of four commercial buildings in the Daybright Drive area, including allegedly taking two cars from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
Sandlin said police have recovered weapons, vehicles, iPads, iPhones, laptops and other electronics taken from vehicles.
The juveniles charged will go before youth court judges, and the four adults' cases will go before a January circuit court grand jury. The grand jury will decide if there is enough evidence to formally charge the suspects.
Morris and Faulkner were released from the Lee County Tupelo Adult Jail on $30,000 bonds.
Ware and Cayson still are being held, Ware on a $20,000 bond and Cayson on a $50,000 bond.
Cayson was out on bond after being charged with breaking and entering an auto in late August.
Sandlin advised the public to keep doors locked and not to leave valuables in cars or in plain sight to avoid becoming a victim.
"When they see it, they'll pop in the window and snatch what they can get," she said.
Most of the auto burglaries happened in apartment complexes or along residential streets.
Capt. Rusty Haynes of the Tupelo Police Department said the charges wouldn't have been possible without the whole department's cooperation.
"As always it's a team effort between the dedicated members of patrol and (the criminal investigation division)," Haynes said. "We appreciate the dedicated patrol arm of Tupelo Police and all the help they give us."

Tony Iommi and Eddie Van Halen Discuss Their Careers, Friendship and the Past Three Decades of Our Favorite Instrument
For that matter, the only signs that the music industry ever existed in Hollywood are Guitar Center's Rock Walk and the handful of clubs that are still holding out, like the Whisky a Go Go, Roxy Theater and Key Club, which these days are more likely to feature sound-alike tribute bands than up-and-coming talent.
While the challenges for guitar players who want to enjoy a long, prosperous career in the music industry may be more daunting than ever, Iommi and Van Halen still inspire hope the same way they did 30 years ago. Iommi tours regularly, and this year he released the acclaimed Heaven and Hell album The Devil You Know. Van Halen completed one of the decade's biggest tours in 2008, and his EVH brand guitars and amplifiers provide players with some of the finest tools of the trade available today. If Iommi and Van Halen continue to infl uence players over the next decade the same way they have over the past 30 years, the future for the guitar and guitar players looks very bright indeed.
GUITAR WORLD: Both of you have had significant influence on guitarists over the past 30 years. Pretty much every metal band that has formed since the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the Eighties can trace its roots back to Black Sabbath.
TONY IOMMI It's weird when all of these players from successful bands come up to you and go, "Without you I wouldn't have done what I do." I'm sure Ed feels the same way about all the Joe Satrianis and Steve Vais who were influenced by him.
In addition to the shred phenomenon, it seems like every rock band in the Eighties that came to Hollywood was trying to follow in Van Halen's footsteps.
EDDIE VAN HALEN All those hair bands that played the Hollywood clubs missed the most important part. They didn't play weddings, bar mitzvahs, polkas and all that other shit way before the club days. My brother Alex and I used to do that. We would play at the La Mirada Country Club. My dad would play at the Continental Club every Sunday night, and we would sit in with him. He'd play at a place called the Alpine Haus off of San Fernando Road in the Valley, and we'd wear the lederhosen. Those polka songs are so weird. They're all I-IV-V, but they're like some odd country song. Alex and I actually played on the boat while we were coming to America. [Van Halen's family emigrated from the Netherlands.] We played piano, and we were like the kid freak show on the boat. Music saved our family. My father, mother, brother and I came here with only 50 dollars and a piano. We lived in one room and played gigs on weekends.
Even in the early days of Black Sabbath, the band played some unglamorous gigs at working men's clubs or in remote towns in northern Scotland.
IOMMI We used to play working men's clubs and get thrown out quite often. They used to tell us to turn it down or we wouldn't get paid. Well, since they weren't paying us to begin with we'd turn it up even louder!
VAN HALEN When we used to play clubs we learned just enough Top 40 songs to get hired. At the gig you had to play five 45-minute sets, but most pop songs are three or four minutes long, so that's a lot of tunes to learn! We figured we could play our own stuff and no one would care as long as the beat was there. One day we were playing at this club in Covina called Posh. We ran out of Top 40 tunes so we started playing our own music. The owner of the club walks up to us while we were playing a song and goes, "Stop! I hired you to play Top 40. What is this shit?" He told us to get the fuck out of there, and he wouldn't let us take our equipment. We had to come back the next week to pick up our equipment. It was always that way. It was either "the guitarist is too loud" or "plays too psychedelic." They always complained about me.
IOMMI We went through the same thing. In the early days we couldn't get gigs in England, so we went to Europe. We were playing at this place in Zurich, Switzerland, and we had to play five 45-minute sets every day for three weeks, but on the weekend we played seven 45-minute sets. We didn't have enough songs, so we'd go, "Drum solo!" Then the next set we'd do a guitar solo and then a bass solo, and that's how we'd get through the night. They caught on to us, and during Bill Ward's next drum solo someone walked up to us and went in broken English, "Shut the fucking hell up!" It was the owner's daughter.
VAN HALEN That's how jamming started.

The Op is 190 pounds, around 5' 7", overweight, balding, in his 40s, and earnest in his task. I just don't picture Marky Mark that way.
Last night I read an Op story where Hammett described a gun shooting at our hero as "squirting lead", and I laughed because that was almost a silly 1950s cliche compared to most of the hard-boiled descriptions in these stories.

What can I say about my beautiful, silly girl? Camilla bounded into our hearts 5 years ago this summer through rescue. She had us wrapped around her paws immediately, and became one of the family instantly! There is not a day that goes by that she doesn't make us smile - if one of us is blue, we can't help but perk up when Camilla flashes us one of her trademark smiles!
This June, Camilla will be 11 years young. We're proud of our 'old broad' and we know she's not going anywhere anytime soon, if we have anything to say about it!
Thank you so much for honoring our girl! Perhaps Camilla will pick out a new wardrobe piece, just for the occasion!!
With love,
Christie and Camilla

love that pic ernesto! wishi had views like this where i ride!
Baddest or Baddass that is the question.
Think my Surly Karate Monkey has a say in this.
So bad the concept of doing "a bit of xc" naaa no chance, only if drunk, then maybe.
So bad we took on a mountain full of superenduro and downhill race bikes.
Then after bursting the headset and the cold affecting the freewheel grease to render it useless (no drive at all, pawls stuck down in cold grease) after mauling our way down a seeding run.......
We where so bad, we drove up the road, bought the wrong freewheel (1/8 not 8/9speed, only had 8/9speed chains) then beat the stuck freewheel back to life in the Forts carpark(only lost a few ball bearings) and went for a jolly on that Fort William World cup downhill track to check things worked.
Badass was the seized headset the following morning, made some funny noises when i cracked the bars round first thing in the morning.
Really Bad was starting in seeding group A, but with no drive i ended up in group C, strangely my final race time was good enough "not to be last" in the B final race run.
Surly's are a pretty baddestbadass place to look, oh and running V-brakes is damn bad too (in many senses)
Too many pretty static shots (nice they are, but not bad) have shots of my Karate Monkey and Me mixing it up with downhillers.......and i didn't come last.

Ah, figured you had a good reason (can't see that color in the headset from your pic). Anyway, nice job with the bike. If you saw my color-mismatched Flash, you'd probably vomit.
