7.18: Conversion of Customary Units by Multiplying
Remember Julie and the rainforest? Take a look at this dilemma.
Jacob is in Julie's class and he loves to play jokes. When he finds out that Julie is working on a rainforest project, he decides to play a joke on her. Since the Amazon River is a key part of the rainforest, Jacob focuses on this feature.
"Hey Julie, did you know that the Amazon River is twenty-one million, one hundred and twenty thousand feet long?" Jacob asks, leaning on Julie's desk as she works.
"It is not," Julie says smiling. "It is 4000 miles long."
"Those measurements are one and the same," Jacob says. "Also, the Amazon is thirty-one thousand six hundred and eighty feet wide."
"That is not accurate," Julie says. "It is 6 miles wide."
"Again, those are the same," Jacob says.
Who is correct? Convert each measurement having to do with the Amazon and figure out whether Jacob or Julie is correct.
In our last Concept, we began looking at equivalent units of measure. We did some conversions of customary units of measure involving weight and capacity. In this Concept, we are going to expand on what we just learned. Let's look at converting units of measure using multiplication.
Why do we multiply when converting customary units of measure?
When converting customary units of measure from a large unit to a smaller unit, we multiply. You may already be wondering why we need to multiply as opposed to some other operation. The key is that a large unit is going to be a smaller number than a smaller unit. Let's think about money to demonstrate this.
100 pennies = 1 dollar
There are 100 pennies in one dollar. The penny is a smaller unit, so we need more of them to equal one of a large unit, the dollar. The same is true when working with length, weight and capacity. We need more of a smaller unit to equal a larger unit.
When we multiply, we are working with groups. To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, we multiply to change the larger unit to its smaller equivalent unit. To work on this Concept, you will need to think back to all of the units of length, weight and capacity that we have previously learned about.
John has a rope that is 10 feet long. How long is his rope in inches?
Notice, we are going from feet to inches. A foot is larger than an inch. In fact a foot is equal to 12 inches. To solve this problem, we take the equivalent of one foot in inches and multiply it by the length of the rope in feet. This will give us the measurement in inches.
Our answer is 120 inches.
Try a few of these conversions on your own.
Example A
4 tons = ____ pounds
Solution: 8000 pounds
Example B
5 feet = ____ inches
Solution: 60 inches
Example C
8 pints = ____ cups
Solution: 16 cups
Now back to figuring out who is correct when it comes to the Amazon.
Convert each measurement having to do with the Amazon and figure out whether Jacob or Julie is correct. We need to figure out the measure of the length and width of the Amazon in feet and miles. There are 5,280 feet in one mile.
4000 miles = ____ feet
6 miles = ____ feet
Jacob is right on this one too!!
Here are the vocabulary words in this Concept.
- Equivalent
- equal amount or unit
- Length
- measuring how long something is-customary units are inches, feet, yards and miles
- Weight
- measuring how heavy something is-customary units are ounces, pounds and tons.
- Capacity
- measuring how much liquid something can hold-customary units are fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts and gallons.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Jason's baby brother drank 3 cups of milk. How many fluid ounces did he drink?
Once again, we are going from a larger to a smaller unit. A cup is larger than a fluid ounce. There are 8 fluid ounces in one cup. If we multiply the number of cups times the number of fluid ounces in one cup, we will successfully convert to fluid ounces.
Our answer is 24 fluid ounces.

Freshman Seminar 187: Earth's Environments and Ancient Civilizations
Posted November 27, 2013; 12:31 p.m.

In the freshman seminar, "Earth's Environments and Ancient Civilizations," students study how to use global positioning systems (GPS), archaeological and geological data, geophysical technology, and computer programs to seek and examine the buried remnants of lost civilizations. The course included a trip to Cyprus, where students collected data for final presentations about how ancient civilizations altered the landscape and changed the environment — and vice versa. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
FREDERIK SIMONS: We are teaching
the students how to
use geophysical field
techniques of
a variety of types.
The two instruments that we
have taken out here are a
magnetometer and a
ground-penetrating radar.
The students are collecting
data, as they
wouldn't in the field.
They're setting up a grid.
They're having everything
GPS tagged.
They're going with tape measures
to try and define the
physical grid as well
as they can.
And then, as soon as they have
these organizational matters
out of the way, they're
starting to measure.
VIDUSHI SHARMA: This class
is designed to give us an
introduction to geoscience and
its practical applications.
Because in our field trip to
Cyprus, we'll actually be
using all the tools that we've
started to learn, including
MATLAB, LayTec a lot of software
programming that
helps us analyze the data we
collect from GPSes and
different fields instruments.
FREDERIK SIMONS: We go to
Cyprus, and we collect
geological data and geophysical
data, both on the
island of Cyprus and at a
specific archaeological site.
RAY BARTOLUCCI: The most
interesting part of the course
is probably field work and
actually get hands-on with all
these different materials and
resources that I've never used
before, getting the experience
with how to research.
AMELIA HANKLA: I really like
being out in the field and
actually taking real data,
instead of having to use other
people's data.
GRACE CHANG: And we're also
learning how to use software.
AMELIA HANKLA: How
to use MATLAB
GRACE CHANG: It's a big
portion of the class.
How to use LayTec and ArcGIS.
FREDERIK SIMONS: They're
collecting hundreds and
thousands of data points today,
which, of course, the
big work starts after they're
done, which is when they
download all the data onto
their computer and use a
variety of computational
techniques to look through it.

Product Details
Continuing our collaboration with Timex, one of our favorite all-American brands, we've created a diver-style watch that's timeless and genuinely true to its roots (it was inspired by one of the most extraordinary barrier reefs in the world: Andros). Featuring a quartz analog movement with a functioning bezel, it's the perfect no-fuss nautical companion that's just as dependable on land as it is exploring the seas (it's water-resistant up to 100 meters).
Size & Fit Details
Timex® for J.Crew Andros watch
Timex® for J.Crew Andros watch is rated out of 5 by 28.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Reno from Watch I wear it everyday. Perfect for summer. Love the color!
Date published: 2015-07-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by SjBoss from Simple style I had been thinking about picking up the Andros Timex for over a year. I'm really glad I finally did - it's lightweight, simple and looks great. I'm wearing it a lot more often than I anticipated.
Date published: 2015-07-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by motleycrew from new favorite watch Watch looks great. Quality of the strap seems a little flimsy, and the case looks a little tarnished - though I think the latter just adds some character. Will probably replace the strap with some tougher nylon. All in all this is a great purchase.
Date published: 2015-04-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by VNE98 from Fantastic value for money I've had this watch for just over two weeks and it's been fantastic so far. The vintage, distressed look and finish are spot on and the build quality is very high. I set the time 13 days ago and the watch has gained less than two seconds since then, so it's extremely accurate as well. The dive bezel, lume, and day/date indicator all work perfectly, far in excess of what I expected from such an inexpensive watch, and I love having the ability to change the watch's look for different occasions by swapping out the strap. Overall, if you are looking for a budget-friendly, stylish, and versatile watch, you can't go wrong with this one!
Date published: 2015-03-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cece from Cool & stylish watch, super quality I was looking for a watch to add to my ever growing collection. I was interested in a medium size one (I have a very small wrist) and usually men's watches are very heavy and very big for me. When I saw this Timex, I went also to check specialized watches forums and I realized that, it not only looked good but the quality of tests was also very good. So I went for it and I do not regret it as it became my daily watch since I got it. I bought also 3 extra straps in different models and play with them according to my outfit. The watch is perfect for every day and I also wore it for some more formal event with a blue blazer. I also tried it under water and it is, indeed, very resistant. Great value for money!

Next men up: The players
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers hasn't forgotten the speech.
He's a little fuzzy on who delivered it – he's pretty sure it was Dr. Joe Kaempf, the father of one of his best childhood friends, and the coach of his juggernaut Nickel Ads-sponsored teams in 1995 and 1996 – but he remembers what was said nearly verbatim, having heard it on an annual basis before every Raleigh Hills Little League season in Portland, Oregon.
And the Green Bay Packers quarterback believes that this year's Packers team is exactly the kind of team coach Kaempf would have loved.
"At the beginning of the season, he would address the team and say, 'Everyone in here is going to get an opportunity at some point. You may only get one, or you might get a number of opportunities. But make sure you're prepared for those opportunities because the team is counting on you to produce when you get those opportunities,'" Rodgers recounted, later proudly breaking down the 1995 team that beat the Providence Heart Institute team for the title and the 1996 team that beat the Damerow Ford team to repeat. (Rodgers, who spent three years of his childhood in Portland, was a pitcher on those teams.)
"Sometimes you wish there was that reminder before every (football) season now if the guys needed that. Because here we are, and we have guys that we didn't count on now playing big roles for us and getting opportunities. And you hope that their professionalism and their work ethic have put them in a position to be successful."
It certainly appears that way. The Packers take a four-game winning streak into Monday night's showdown with the archrival Chicago Bears, having gone from 1-2 to 5-2 and atop the NFC North, despite playing without a variety of key players for varying lengths of time
Consider the list: Left tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee) and running back DuJuan Harris (knee), both of whom were lost for the season in training camp; four-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Clay Matthews (broken thumb), who will miss his fourth straight game Monday night; wide receiver Randall Cobb (broken leg), who is on injured reserve with the designation to return but won't play until Dec. 15 at Dallas at the earliest after going down at Baltimore on Oct. 13; tight end Jermichael Finley (neck), who was coming into his own before suffering a bruised spinal cord Oct. 20 against Cleveland that could end his season and possibly his career; wide receiver James Jones (knee), who went down at Baltimore and is questionable for Monday night; outside linebacker Nick Perry (foot), who is doubtful for Monday night and hasn't played since suffering the injury against the Ravens; and inside linebacker Brad Jones (hamstring), who is expected to return this week after missing the last three games. The also began the season without safety Morgan Burnett (hamstring), who missed the first three games, and nickel corner Casey Hayward (hamstring), who missed six.
In their places, rookie fourth-round pick David Bakhtiari has protected Rodgers' blindside more than adequately; rookie second-round pick Eddie Lacy has run for more yards over the past four weeks (395) than anyone in the league; Mike Neal and rookies Andy Mulumba and Nate Palmer have held down edge while the Packers have registered 11 sacks in the three games Matthews has missed so far; Jarrett Boykin has caught 13 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown the past two weeks; Andrew Quarless, Brandon Bostick, Jake Stoneburner and Ryan Taylor (who has missed the past two games himself) are trying to fill the void left by Finley; and third-year man Jamari Lattimore has played so well in place of Brad Jones that defensive coordinator Dom Capers believes he merits playing time even with Jones back healthy.
And while general manager Ted Thompson and his personnel staff deserve credit for finding the right guys, and coach Mike McCarthy and his staff deserve credit for preparing them to play, the players themselves have had to deliver when called upon. And they have.
"I think even more important than that is the kids themselves," Thompson replied when asked about the scouting and coaching staffs' work. "They have to believe they can play, and I think some of those guys believe they can play."
There is not an obvious, common profile to the players who've filled in, but they all seem to share a few common traits. They call carry themselves with a confidence that indicates they aren't overwhelmed (or at least are good at hiding it). They are aware of their humble NFL beginnings and are motivated by them. Despite not being high draft picks, they don't lack for confidence in themselves. And they are as competitive as all get-out.
Stoneburner, for example, said he had "10 to 12" teams express interest in him after he went undrafted this spring. But he knew the Packers' history of developing their roster through undrafted free agents and practice-squad players, and he signed – despite a less-than promising depth chart.
"I was the seventh tight end coming into training camp. But I still liked the offense, liked the program a lot, liked the amount of undrafted and practice-squad guys they like to bring up from within," explained Stoneburner, who was cut on the final roster reduction, added to the practice squad and promoted to the 53-man roster on Oct. 15. "That really appealed to me – even though they had six tight ends here.
"Upstairs, I think they know what they want. I wouldn't call myself a 'hidden gem,' but they find guys who maybe weren't the biggest names in college but they know how to play at this level. They breed you, almost, and by the time you're out there, you know how to play.
"(But) they can only do so much for you. I think that has a lot to do with their scouting. I feel like here, when they bring in an undrafted guy or even a late-round guy, they come in knowing they can play. They're not coming in just to fill spots or fill needs for camp – they bring in guys they believe can play, whether it's now or down the road. That's what they told me when I got here. Whether you're the last guy on the depth chart or Aaron, you're doing to be treated the same. I never felt for once that I was the seventh tight end. Even though I knew in my mind that I was, I would still go out there and get reps with the 1s. They give you a shot to succeed. And that's all you can ask for as a guy coming in as an unknown."
One of those players who has succeeded is safety M.D. Jennings, who was thrown in as a replacement starter last year for eight-time Pro Bowler Charles Woodson. After starting 10 games while Woodson was sidelined, Jennings has started all seven games this season. He, too, got multiple offers after going undrafted in 2011 out of Arkansas State, and he picked the Packers after watching them win Super Bowl XLV.
"I was watching the Super Bowl that year, the year they won it, and the announcers were talking about how many undrafted players were playing important roles like (rookie outside linebacker) Frank Zombo and (rookie cornerback) Sam Shields. They were key players that year," Jennings recalled Saturday. "I had a couple teams call me on draft day telling me they were going to pick me. None of them did. I don't know why, but I'm glad they didn't.
"I remember last year, DuJuan Harris came in basically fresh off the street. He made a huge impact around here. It's just the way it is. The scouts, they do a great job finding talent, and once they do, the coaches do a great job with the young guys, teaching you the scheme and getting you ready.
"But it takes a special person. Being undrafted, I think it makes you work harder. It makes you appreciate the chance, the opportunities a little more. The greatest coach can't coach a player who isn't willing to learn and buy into what he's selling. That's the thing about these guys. Once your number is called, you have to make the most of that opportunity."
But there is more to their success than simply being opportunistic or the ability to do as they are told by their coaches. And while it may be unquantifiable, Rodgers is sure they all share another quality: They all deeply love the game.
Rodgers had that love and saw it others while he was backing up Brett Favre and running the scout-team offense in practice those first three years. And now, he sees it in the guys who are stepping into the breach and allowing the team to still be successful.
For while he has played with some big-time talented wide receivers (Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Jones and Cobb), he's also connected with lesser-known players like Ruvell Martin, Carlyle Holiday, Antonio Chatman, Jeremy Ross and now Boykin, Myles White and recent waiver-wire pickup Chris Harper, whom he met for the first time on the eve of the Oct. 20 game against Cleveland.
"Since a young age, I've been able to be coached by some great coaches, and a common theme they taught me was, 'Practice how you play,'" Rodgers said, bringing the conversation full-circle. "I've always appreciated guys who really sell out in practice and guys who give you good energy in practice. But more than that, the guys who really care about it in the meeting room and ask the right questions. The 'why' is always been a question that's been important to me, and when I hear other guys ask the 'why' question – why are we doing this? – it's because the knowledge you can acquire there is kind of the root of plays and the root of understanding the thoughts that go through my mind. And when you can do that, then you can start to think like a quarterback and then the offense kind of opens up because you understand (it).
"That's what we've seen from guys over the years – the big-name guys like Greg and Jordy and James and Randall who stepped in and did that, and then the other guys who I love – the Ruvell Martins, the Doc Hollidays, the Jarrett Boykins, the Jeremy Rosses, Myles Whites – guys that step in and maybe aren't thought to do a whole lot but they put the time in and they really want to be great.
"You say, 'Well, every player is like that, right?' Ah, no. Actually, I think there's a difference between whether football is your life – and this is something I've been thinking a lot about lately – or not. Is football your life? Is it something that you do? Who you are? Or is it your love? And I really feel like when it's your love and your passion, then you're going to put more into it and you're going to care about it more.
"When it's your passion, when it's your love, those are the guys I'm looking for, and those are the guys I believe in."

Flying a Quadcopter-Mounted Camera
This is super-awesome stuff (and the video is pretty typical I think; I'm sure there are lots of people doing just the same sorts of things all over the rich world). The technology is way cool, but it's also amazing that the technology to do this is now within the hands of "ordinary people".
(From this blog-post.)
It's also all rather disturbing to imagine where this might end up. Yes, there are already some regulations in place (see the comments on the blog post). Yes, the little UAVs are still pretty large and obvious as they fly around. But when they get small and quiet, and so much harder for normal people to detect, will people be flying them around willy-nilly, completely ignoring the various regulations?
I get the impression that the rules in place today are there to prevent people getting hurt by largish objects crashing into them. But when the objects are not so large, the risk of physical harm is rather lower. It is then that society runs the risk of having the "less moral" destroying privacy by spying on people just "because they can".
Certainly, things will get interesting. I have no idea how society will evolve to deal with this, but I'm pretty certain that it will need dealing with. I don't imagine the technological clock will get dialled back, so the question becomes: "What will the counter-measures be?" People lock their doors to deter burglary, but society does a lot of other things too: it generally tries to teach its children not to steal, and it uses police forces and criminal punishment too.
Are there plausible technological ways of countering miniature flying spies? What will the laws look like? Will people respect them, or observe them mainly in the breach? What will that do to our own intuitions about privacy?

Went to a small local amusement park, mainly played 2 rounds of miniture golf (6-under par on course 1, 5-under on the 2nd and just lipped out a chance at a free game on #18 ). Found (shockingly) a correct-half-size-for-me US flag style pair of Chuck Taylors for under $20, plus a few CW trading cards packs. Ate dinner at Claim Jumper, and took home for leftovers a tad less than half of the entire order. Slept poorly, but am awake now; ta dah!

Excellent soup ... after a redo. The recipe said to slice the onions thin. I guess I sliced them too thin. Resliced the onions thicker and roasted them half the time suggested. After blending roasted veggies with homemade vegetable broth, I decided not to add any milk as the thickness was perfect. My family loved it! A huge hit. I will be making this soup often!
This was delicious. I'm vegan so I used coconut milk and instead of water, I used vegan broth. Also sprinkled some toasted pepitas on top which was nice.
Like the other reviewers, I added a couple extra cloves of garlic, cut down on the milk, and added chicken bouillon. This was spectacular. I roasted the veggies for 1.5 hours at 200 degrees. Results were amazing - smells and looks delicious and taste was out of this world. Very easy to make, very little cleanup.
This soup is very easy to make and so healthy. I liked it better when I didn't puree too much. Also, like others I added more garlic and salt. It's better if you add less milk too. About 1 1/2 C should be fine.
Roasted all the tomatoes I had, cherry and roma, some red onion, lots of carrots, and half a red pepper. Increased garlic to 5 cloves. You need to watch that the garlic doesn't roast too long, it can get dried out. Peeled the pepper after it cooled off some.Blended really well in food processor. Because we are eating healthier, no dairy was added. Turned out so good.
If you add 2 cubes of chicken stock this one would be a winner. LOVE the slow roasted veggies. I don't like the taste of tomatoes and I LOVE this soup!
This recipe was a terrific foundation for just the soup I was craving. This was my first foray into making tomato soup. The carrots give it such a hearty and delicious consistency. I, Like some other reviewers, tweaked it to my taste. I decided not to add any water (it was watery enough from roasting the veggies). I added the basil before I pureed the roasted veggies as well. I also added 2 cubes of chicken boullion and heavy cream instead of milk. Just what the doctor ordered on a snowed-in day!! I'm thrilled with how it turned out!
I made a few adjustments, largely using this as a starting point. Used three carrots, one yellow and one orange bell pepper, a red onion and six cloves of garlic. Roasted about 40 minutes in a 400 degree oven, then pureed in the blender with 2 cups of chicken stock. In the meantime, sauteed a little garlic in olive oil and dumped in a can of whole tomatoes with liquid and cooked it down for about a half hour. Pureed this as well, and combined everything in the large soup pot. Yummy, and didn't need a single herb or spice so far--just stirred in some half and half and let it sit so that the flavors could meld. Not a gourmet meal, but a nice fall soup. I'll take it!
This is probably my favorite tomato soup I've ever made! I used additional garlic and tomatoes, all of which were fresh from a friend's organic garden, and I added half of a red bell pepper I roasted along with the rest of the veggies. I also blended the basil with the veggies to give a more consistent texture. I am vegan, so I used soy milk creamer instead of the milk, and I skipped the water to keep the soup thick and hearty. I'll probably use more roasted red bell pepper next time, but otherwise I'd do everything the same.
Great, simple flavors. I added more garlic and salt. Came out wonderful!

Bimini Log - long
Bimini Trip
Date Oct 12, 2001
High tide 4:24a.m. + 3.42, Low +10:36a.m 1.36, High 4:53p.m. +3.85
Thought you guy's might enjoy..........
First off Bimini was empty, and I mean empty!, we stayed at the Bimini Big Game Club alone. Not one other person was in the Hotel. October is traditionally
Bimini's off season but with everything going on in the states (WTC) people just are not traveling commercial right now.
Bob and I fished with Bonefish Ray, the other group fished Bonefish Rudy (more on Rudy later). The weather on Friday was perfect not a cloud in sight, and mid
eighties. The water was eighty degrees on the head, and the wind was blowing out of the East at 12 mph. The flat we fished on the interior of North Bimini is a
yellowish color - this makes spotting the fish a piece of cake, even for first timers (you could definitely rent Kayaks here and catch bones wading). We fished from
1:00 until 4:30 on Friday and got skunked, this was not due to a lack of Bonefish - We saw at least thirty different groups of two's and three's, and they were big (all
over six pounds, and at least eight at 10 or better, no schoolies). Bob came down with a serious case of "Boneitis" (this is where every time you spot a bone
your knees go weak, and you shoot fifty feet of line beautifully on the first two strokes, and then try to overpower the last one in a wide arc which causes
your line to be deposited in a heap twenty feet in front of the boat). Even though we didn't put any in the boat the quality time that I had mocking Bob made the trip
worth every penny. In fairness to Bob (and of course me) these fish were interested in just about everything but our flies. We threw everything from Jim's Golden
Eye's to Chart Clousers. Even switched over to six pound flourocarbon tippets with a 14 foot leader. Bob had at least three perfect shots from forty feet that the
Bones flashed on and then ignored. They were not spooked -they stayed in the same area - they just were not eating. The other group that went with Bonefish Rudy
caught four Bonefish that day using spinning gear and live shrimp and fishing the Muds (The biggest one was seven pounds).
That night the Island was ours and we had the Complete Angler, and End of the World Bar all to ourselves. This proved to be a bad thing due to the fact that we did
not have to wait in line for Gombay Smashes - which meant that everyone in the group got lit up like torch. Eventually, I received a sign that it was time to go - this
"sign" came in the form of what appeared to be a volcano of red juice flowing from the mouths of three of the six in our party within a fifteen minute time frame (the
next morning they all insisted it was a particulary virulent strain of the East Asian stomach flu).
As fate would have it, on our way back to the hotel room we walked past the BBGC dock and spotted a mess of thirty and forty pound Tarpon stacked up under a
light in one of the empty boat bay's feeding on shrimp during a strong outgoing tide (the dock was huge and completely empty). Being in fine condition, we of course
grabbed our sticks and started hammering them. We had three Jumps that night on Cliffs & Marty's Crystal Shrimp that we use for Snook under the lights. I know I
would have landed one that night if I just had not passed out on the dock. My eight weight was good enough to get the hook in, but not good enough to the fight the
Tarpon in close quarters. Since we were not expecting Tarpon the heaviest tippet I brought was 20 pound test. The Tarpon were snapping that line like it was thread
on the second or third jump. Thank God that we did not keep any on for any length of time. If we would have it just would have been a matter time of before one ran
under the dock that we were standing on and snapped our rods (come to think of it that would have given me a matched pair since my cursed Sage nine weight
broke earlier that day).
Bimini Day 2
October 13, 2001
High tide 5:30a.m. + 3.64, Low 11:44a.m +1.18, High 5:56p.m. +3.93
Saturday was a carbon copy of the first in regards to conditions. I fished with Ray again, Bob and Pat paired up with Bonefish Ansil Saunders, and Noel and Dan
fished with Bonefish Rudy. We started off late (9:30) on the East side of the Island (ocean flat). Due to my broken nine weight, I used the eight and seven that day,
and went down to a 10 foot leader with a 12 inch 8 pound flurocarbon tippet. First fish 4 pounds @ 10:33 on a #4 Sand Bandit with pink wing. Second fish 8
pounds @ 11:40 on a #4 Sand bandit, Third Fish 3 pounds @ 12: 50 on a # 4 Sand Bandit. Last legitimate fish that I had on was a smoker, Originally thought it was
a big Cuda it was not really cruising or feeding, instead it was crawling along the bottom of a 3 foot deep sand ledge - put it three feet to the right of it's nose and it
bolted up off the bottom and hit the Sand Bandit three feet above it's head (that's a first). Got fish on the reel, and 70 yards out my tippet to fly knot failed (should
have re-tied after the three pounder). This was the biggest Bone I have ever hooked - no mangroves, coral, or sea fans in sight - lost it due to pure stupidity.
Doc took the helm from this point on - he had not been feeling well (Half a bottle of Dewars and six Goombay smashes the night before will do that to you) and had
not fished the first portion of the day. Doc insisted we go back inside the Island even though the tide was pouring back in and Bonefish were everywhere on that flat.
Bonefish Ray was not pleased to say the least. As punishment I think he motored us around the West side of the Island (45 minutes) and fished the flat to the North East of
BBGC - Doc struggled with the wind and zeroed for the Day - which he called at 3:45 p.m.
Bob who has now developed a solid fear of the fly rod whenever the wind blow's over 3 mph put his fly rod away and fished spinning tackle all day.The other two
boat's brought in a total of eight bonefish using shrimp, and spinning tackle (Both Dan and Bob landed and photographed legit eight pound fish). Not bad considering
that other than Bob no one had flat's fishing experience.
Noel was the only one who zeroed - but he stuck to the Fly-rod all day (God bless him). He had major problems with Bonefish Rudy. I would not recommend Rudy
to anyone who is not an experienced fly caster or flats fisher for that matter. He systematically insulted, and harrased everyone who stepped on his boat on both Friday, and Saturday (this in spite of when I booked him I told him he
would be fishing with novices). On Friday Rudy harassed Pat about his spin casting ability until Pat threatened to beat him if he spoke to him again. To his credit
Rudy did have two great lines with Noel. The first came after Noel hit Rudy for the second time (Noel claims it was on purpose) with the fly. Rudy responded "I've
been guiding for thirty six years and have never been hit by a fly - You have been on this boat for three hours and have already hit me twice- put that thing away
before you tear my eye out". The other came at the end of the day when Noel asked Rudy what he should work on - Rudy replied: "You need to put that thing away
and go back to fly school".
All in all a good trip, with a lot of advantages: 1. It's close 2. The guides are reasonably priced 200.00 for a half day, 300.00 for a full day. Bonefish Ansil and Bonefish
Ray are both stellar guides - although Ray does tend to work a flat to death (not like the run and gun that the guides that I have used at Walkers, Harbor Island, and
Grand Bahama). 3. The flats here seem to be relatively un- pressured (much like Walkers most of the guy's here come to fish deep for the big boy's) even though it is
only 50 miles to Miami - The Island only has four guides right now and Ray say's that he works an average of 175 day's a year. 4. The Island definitely offers plenty
to do at night - it has a number of hole in the wall Bars and all are in walking distance. 5. The food and drinks were all reasonably priced compared to H.I, Walkers,
or GB. 5. Most importantly there are a lot of Big Bonefish here (But they do get pressured just not as severe as the Key's).6. Based on the right tide you could do
this trip out of a Kayak. The Flat's to the North inside were firm, and you could also take the mangrove channels to the outside of the Island and work your way
down to the south and fish back towards the Big Game Club.
The only real disadvantages are: 1. Does not really feel like the other Bahamas "Out Islands", has a little more of a metro feel to it. 2. The handmade 14 foot skiffs are
good in skinny water - but are slow, have no casting deck, and the seats are lawn chairs that you move back and forth to help the skiff get on plane. 3. If Rudy is the
only guide available - stay home.
That's a great report - thanks for the details. An off-season trip down that way might be on the cards before the "official" start of 2002.

Bad Seeds: "Lazarus" live at the Plug Awards
It's bad enough for Cave completists that he's about to put out a hardcover mini-book detailing the making of the song Dig, Lazarus, Dig! (Speaking of which: we can only hope this will start a trend of artists putting out their own 33 1/3-style books -- why not go right to the source on these things?) Now, if we want to see their first North American tour in five years, we've also got to book hotels in Canada? Fuckers.

How to explain Live . . . Suburbia? Compiled and written by Max G. Morton and Anthony Pappalardo, the book is a collage of all the hardcore hopes and wasted dreams of a misspent youth in the suburbs of the 1980s and '90s. Skateboards and skinheads, dirt bikes and teased hair, strip-mall karate and heavy-metal T-shirts— they're all here, in a blurry mix of essays, photos, and found objects.
Pappalardo says that he and Morton wanted to explore the pop-culture engine that is the suburbs, and its symbiotic relationship with urban centers. "It's celebrating the fact that the kids in the suburbs are the creativity and the fuel behind the things that start in cities," he says. "Every subculture in the book — whether it's goths or skinheads — has to grow in a suburb."
The book came out last month. If you ever pored over a waterlogged Playboy you found in a ditch, if you thought it was cool to give the camera the finger when your friend took your picture, you might see a little of yourself in the following excerpt.
Some of us enter this world prematurely. After peaking on parent-approved science fiction, you find yourself with a pocketful of quarters pedaling your PK Ripper toward the inviting glow of a neon ARCADE sign. You feel invincible, adorned with a KISS iron-on from your most recent family vacation. Youth is enriched by voyeurism and impressionable minds warp like a record left in the back seat of a car. Perceptions change at lightning speed. Somewhere between dropping the quarter in and reaching the ominous game over, you learn that the bad, made-for-TV movie, disco record, and People cover have soiled KISS forever. Life has lost all meaning.
Joining karate is the next logical step for many subscribers of the unwritten manual to preteen survival. One might find himself kicking, chopping, and yelling kiiiiiyyyyyyaaaaa! at everything in sight. The utter determination to destroy might even catch the eye of an older dojo transplant who has an afro and spars in war paint. You have never made friends with someone that wasn't from your town, but pretty soon Motley Crüe is placed in your tiny palm and a new door—complete with dry ice — is opened. You are too fast for love and everyone else around you. When you pledge your allegiance to The Number of the Beast, Mother gets a little nervous. The monster materializes after devouring everything metallic, but unfortunately in suburbia you need wheels to go anywhere outside your head. While others are content with the same grip of records, your overactive psyche craves something faster and louder. You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll. . . or can you?
The initial shock value of "Fuck Like a Beast" is immeasurable. Sadly, it's as ephemeral as the India ink Pachuco cross tattooed on the hand of the dude who played it for you. Mercyful Fate has imported a new breed of evil to your town and before long you are hiding Witchfinder General records under your mattress. Hanging out in cemeteries is cool as shit, making new friends with Ouija boards brings you closer to being in league with Satan and your new idol is a man who smashes television sets over his head. For a moment it feels as if you could retire on goats and inverted crosses.

Paternal use of ribavirin-interferon alpha 2B combination therapy before conception
Nobuko Taguchi, MD Shinya Ito, MD
December 2005
One of my male patients is receiving ribavirin-interferon alpha 2B (Pegetron) combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C. His wife recently found out she is 6 weeks pregnant. They are concerned that the medications might have affected his sperm. How should I advise them?
To the best of our knowledge, paternal exposure to ribavirin-interferon alpha 2B has no adverse effects on reproduction. Although we do not have sufficient information to confirm this, several pregnancies where the father had been exposed to these medications turned out fine. If an unexpected pregnancy occurs while the father is receiving this therapy, there is no medical indication for terminating the pregnancy.
L'un de mes patients reçoit une thérapie combinée de ribavirine et d'interferon alpha 2B (Pegetron) pour une hépatite C chronique. Sa conjointe vient d'apprendre qu'elle est enceinte de 6 semaines. Ils s'inquiètent de l'effet de ces médicaments sur le sperme. Quels conseils devrais-je leur donner?
Au meilleur de notre connaissance, l'exposition paternelle à la ribavirine-interferon alpha 2B n'a pas d'effet indésirable sur la reproduction. Même si nous n'avons pas suffisamment de renseignements pour le confirmer, plusieurs grossesses où le père avait été exposé à ces médicaments n'ont pas eu d'issue défavorable. Si une grossesse imprévue survient pendant que le père reçoit cette thérapie, il n'y a pas d'indication médicale justifiant de mettre un terme à cette grossesse.
Hepatitis C viral infection is among the leading causes of chronic liver disease in North America; an estimated 200 to 300 million people are affected worldwide.1,2 The current standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C is ribavirin-interferon alpha 2B combination therapy for 24 or 48 weeks.3 Outcomes of chronic hepatitis C improved considerably when this combination therapy was introduced.1-10
Although this therapy is used by many people of childbearing age, we have little information on whether it has adverse effects on pregnancy. The adverse effects of these drugs found in animal teratology studies11-13 have led to ribavirin being contraindicated for women planning pregnancy and for men whose partners might become pregnant. Women should not be started on ribavirin-interferon alpha 2B combination therapy until the fact that they are not pregnant has been confirmed. Also, both male and female patients should use contraception for 6 months after discontinuing the treatment.14
Considering that half of all pregnancies in North America are unplanned,15 there is a good chance some fetuses will be exposed to these medications. If pregnancy occurs while either mother or father is receiving ribavirin-interferon alpha combination therapy, the parents might think they ought to terminate the pregnancy.
As use of this combination therapy increases, the Motherisk Program receives an increasing number of inquiries about paternal exposure to ribavirininterferon alpha 2B. The product label clearly states that both male and female patients should use contraception for 6 months after therapy, so patients are greatly concerned when pregnancy occurs.
Possible mechanisms of toxicity
Paternal exposure to ribavirin. Ribavirin is a purine nucleoside that exerts its antiviral effects by inhibiting inosine 5-monophosphate dehydrogenase. Ribavirins primary antiviral mechanism of action against a model RNA virus is through lethal mutagenesis of the RNA virus genomes. Because ribavirin has the ability to interfere with the biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides, it could disrupt developing sperm or embryos. Ribavirin accumulates within the cells and is eliminated slowly from nonplasma compartments. The extensive accumulation of ribavirin in erythrocytes and other tissue and its slow clearance rate raise the possibility that it could accumulate in sperm in concentrations high enough to induce defects. In animal studies, ribavirin produced changes in sperm at subclinical doses. Another mechanism by which ribavirin treatment could theoretically affect embryo development is by being transmitted through seminal fluid.16
Paternal exposure to interferon alpha. Interferon alpha inhibits both cellular proliferation and protein synthesis. Interferon alpha has antiviral activity through its effects on protein synthesis and RNA degradation. Although no systematic studies have been published on paternal exposure to interferon alpha, there is potential for such exposure to affect sperm.
Current case reports
Although either ribavirin or interferon alpha could damage human embryos, no adverse effects have been described among offspring of women or men treated with combination therapy in the few human pregnancies where we know fetuses were exposed. No epidemiologic studies of paternal use of ribavirin alone, interferon alpha alone, or ribavirininterferon alpha combination therapy have been published. Some case reports have described paternal exposure to ribavirininterferon alpha within 6 months of conception.17-20
Maddrey reported 15 cases of paternal exposure to ribavirin.18 Seven patients failed to attend follow-up appointments, two had healthy babies, four had spontaneous abortions, and two chose therapeutic abortions.
Hegenbarth et al reported two cases of paternal exposure to ribavirininterferon alpha combination therapy within 6 months of conception.17 One patient received 1200 mg of ribavirin daily plus 6 mouse units (MU) of interferon alpha 2A every other day, and the other received 800 mg of ribavirin daily plus 6 MU of interferon alpha 2A every other day. Both had normal healthy babies; neurodevelopmental examination of the babies at 4 months yielded normal results.
Bianca and Ettore reported a case of periconceptional exposure to ribavirininterferon alpha combination therapy.19 A male patient with chronic hepatitis C started combination therapy 6 weeks before conception. A normal healthy infant was born at term.
Out of seven men exposed to ribavirininterferon alpha combination therapy (doses varied from 600 mg/d to 1200 mg/d) described by De Santis et al,20 six had fathered pregnancies within 6 months of discontinuing therapy. No offspring had congenital defects; one aborted spontaneously. Seven healthy babies were born (one patient had twins) with no complications during pregnancy or follow up, which ranged from 3 to 14 months after delivery.
These four case reports17-20 showed no congenital malformations, 12 healthy infants, five miscarriages, and two therapeutic abortions. Although ribavirin is a potential teratogen, there seems to be no immediate reason for terminating pregnancy when a father has been exposed to it. These pregnancies can be continued under close monitoring, for example, with level 2 ultrasound scans.

These days it is easier than ever for the bad guys to find out more about where you go and what you do with the help of a new technology called geotagging. Geotagging tracks exactly where photos and videos are taken by including data in the image file that records your longitude and latitude. This technology is prevalent in images taken by both smartphones and digital cameras.
Once you upload a photo or video to a social networking site or other online destination, all it takes is a few mouse clicks for a cybercriminal to see where the image was taken, revealing your exact location.
This is troublesome because many of us are unaware of this tracking feature, even though sharing images online has become immensely popular. Websites such as Instagram, Flickr and YouTube are filled with pictures and videos that include location information.
Even on websites that are not specifically designed for image sharing, there is the danger that your location information can fall into the wrong hands. For instance, say you are trying to sell your car and you put an ad on Craigslist. In the ad you let interested parties know that they can come by after 3 p.m. to take a look at the car. If you include a picture that has been geotagged, a cybercriminal could pinpoint your location, verify it using Google Street View, and then come by your house before 3 p.m. to try and rob you. If this sounds far-fetched, consider that there are free online tools that create maps from geotagged information, making this crime easy.
In an even more disturbing scenario, you could share a picture of your child on a social networking site that gives away the exact location of your child's school or favorite playground, depending on where the picture is taken. This could become dangerous if you are connected online with people you don't know who have bad intentions.
Even sharing vacation photos online can lead to trouble, if you post them while you are still away. For instance, say you upload a picture of a beautiful sunset in Hawaii to your Facebook page with the comment "Having a great vacation!" A thief could potentially see the post, realize you're away, and try to rob your home. They could look at the geotagging information on previous pictures you've posted to find your address.
While these are unpleasant things to think about, you can take steps to increase your privacy and prevent this data from being shared. Here are some tips to keep you and your location information safe:
Technology such as geotagging can be fun and convenient in many applications, but it's never a good idea to give out your exact location to strangers online. And remember that whatever you post online is public, even if your privacy settings are set correctly. Your image could be taken and posted elsewhere, where you have no control over who sees it.
The good news is as long as you are aware of what information you're sharing you'll be able to take precautions and still enjoy the latest technologies.

Barclays's Ben Reitzes is third among three analysts today cutting estimates and targets on Apple (AAPL), reiterating an Overweight rating while cutting his price target to $530 from $575 after cutting his estimates for this year and next based on his view that "new products are more second half loaded" and there's increased pressure on the iPhone.
Apple shares are down $5.14, or 1%, at $426.
Reitzes met with Apple executives Phil Schiller, head of worldwide marketing, and CFO Peter Oppenheimer at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, he writes, to discuss "the value of Apple's ecosystem, the prospects for more return of cash, the puts and takes for margins, prospects for the iPhone and the market potential for the iPad mini" and came away with the impression that "the company is very optimistic about the general product pipeline and its market position."
"We believe that there is an undying dedication at Apple to innovate – and its leadership is working hard to prove bears wrong."
Separate from that meeting, Reitzes has been contemplating increased pressure on the iPhone, and thinks it will not be offset until the introduction of an " "iPhone 5S" later this year, causing him to cut his estimates:
Given that our collaborative research with colleagues points toward new product ramps more in C2H13, we are taking this opportunity today to adjust estimates. This adjustment is NOT a result of the meeting – but something we have been considering for days given extensive checks with our teams. That being said – we believe that the investment community is about to embark on a similar estimate revision trend that is healthy for the stock and finally puts it in a place to work ahead of new product catalysts and further carrier additions like China Mobile (CHL) and NTT Docomo. We still believe Apple will introduce a lower cost phone based on the iPhone 5 and an 'iPhone 5S' in mid-2013. We also still believe the most important advances for the iPhone in 2013 will actually be improvements to iOS and its services, with the best opportunities for value creation in payments and TV integration. However, we do believe that a 5" phablet is needed – and Apple should address this need by C1Q14. Long term we believe that Apple's ecosystem is solid […] Our collaborative research points toward an iPad Mini with retina display ramping more in C2H12 as well – and wouldn't be surprised to see the current version of the mini see price reductions to round out the line at the low-end. We believe that these products can still drive a rebound in shares – which is likely more pronounced after the April earnings report.
Citing increased Samsung Electronics (005930KS) competition, Reitzes cut his iPhone figure to 35 million this quarter from a prior 36 million, and for Q3 sees another 14% decline, quarter over quarter, to 30 million units. He models iPad sales this quarter at 18 million, down from a prior 19-million estimate. Shipments may recover by 6% in Q3 with 19 million units.
Reitzes Cut his fiscal 2013 estimate to $181.5 billion in revenue and $43.75 per share in profit from a prior $184.7 billion and $44.56.

Wednesday was just another day for John Rhodes and Jesse Cornellius.
But 10 years earlier, it was anything but.
That was the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, when coalition forces, led by the U.S. military, invaded Iraq to topple dictator Saddam Hussein and to find weapons of mass destruction.
The latter didn't happen, but that doesn't change how Rhodes and Cornelius feel about their efforts.
Rhodes was a lieutenant colonel of the Tupelo-based 155th Combat Brigade Team, which deployed to Iraq in 2005. Rhodes is now a colonel and commander of the 155th.
Cornelius was a captain in the unit.
"I hadn't really thought much about" the anniversary, said Rhodes, who also heads the Corinth Surface Water Plant. "For all of us who deployed, it was just a part of our life, and it will always be a part of it."
Cornelius, an agriculture teacher at Nettleton High School, was doing much the same thing in Iraq. He headed a project, Amber Waves, that was aimed at introducing new farming and animal care methods in Iraq
He, too, didn't mark Wednesday as a special day.
"It's just another day," he said. "It's another day teaching school. But it really does seem like it was yesterday we were there. Time flies."
When the 155th deployed, Maj. Gen. Augustus Collins of Booneville commanded the 155th. Then a colonel, he now is the adjutant general of Mississippi. He commanded 4,200 soldiers in Iraq.
He told Mississippi Public Broadcasting that he and his soldiers did what they were supposed to do.
"We fight where we're told. It didn't matter to us," he said. "The mission had been given to us, it was our job to carry out that mission and that's what we did. All of the doubting and the speculation, we'll leave that to the politicians."
Cornelius echoed those feelings.
"If you ever heard from the people over there, what we did was the right thing," Rhodes said. "I'm not going to get into politics. … but if you saw where they were going, they're a lot better off now."
The 155th was deployed in January 2005, serving in the provinces south of the capital of Baghdad, including Karbala, Babil and Al-Najaf. It began its initial return in December of that year. It was again deployed to Iraq in 2009.
Cornelius retired from the Army National Guard in 2007, but still keeps in touch with several of his comrades. He's also reconnected with his Iraqi interpreter, "Fast Eddie."
"He found me on Facebook," he said with a laugh. "We talk two or three times a month."
And while he's proud he served his country and helped people in another, Cornelius said the experience did change him some. He learned to appreciate his life and family that much more.
"When I left, I had a 6-year-old and an 18-month-old," he said quietly. "It took about five years for what is now my middle child to say 'I love you. He was 18 months when I left and 3 when I got back.
"People don't realize the sacrifices the families make, maybe don't appreciate the sacrifices we make."
Rhodes said the greatest sacrifices were those who never made it back.
"They'll always be a part of us," he said quietly. "We lost 28 soldiers, and one civilian from the Department of Defense. They gave their life for our nation. And we had several more who were injured."
He makes no apologies for answering the call of duty and to help free a country.
"I look with great pride at what we accomplished," he said. "We helped them with their first two free elections. … As far as today in Iraq, it's up to the citizens over there. They're now in position to control their own destiny."

Columbus surely expected to bring back some of the gold that was supposed to be so plentiful. The spice trade was one of the most lucrative in Europe, and he expected to bring back spices. But what did he propose to do about the people in possession of these treasures?
When he set out, he carried with him a commission from the king and queen of Spain, empowering him "to discover and acquire certain islands and mainland in the ocean sea" and to be "Admiral and Viceroy and Governor therein." If the king and Columbus expected to assume dominion over any of the Indies or other lands en route, they must have had some ideas, not only about the Indies but also about themselves, to warrant the expectation. What had they to offer that would make their dominion welcome? Or if they proposed to impose their rule by force, how could they justify such a step, let alone carry it out? The answer is that they had two things: they had Christianity and they had civilization.
Christianity has meant many things to many men, and its role in the European conquest and occupation of America was varied. But in 1492 to Columbus there was probably nothing very complicated about it. He would have reduced it to a matter of corrupt human beings, destined for eternal damnation, redeemed by a merciful savior. Christ saved those who believed in him, and it was the duty of Christians to spread his gospel and thus rescue the heathens from the fate that would otherwise await them.
Although Christianity was in itself a sufficient justification for dominion, Columbus would also carry civilization to the Indies; and this, too, was a gift that he and his contemporaries considered adequate recompense for anything they might take. When people talked about civilization—or civility, as they usually called it—they seldom specified precisely what they meant. Civility was closely associated with Christianity, but the two were not identical. Whereas Christianity was always accompanied by civility, the Greeks and Romans had had civility without Christianity. One way to define civility was by its opposite, barbarism. Originally the word "barbarian" had simply meant "foreigner"—to a Greek someone who was not Greek, to a Roman someone who was not Roman. By the 15th or 16th century, it meant someone not only foreign but with manners and customs of which civil persons disapproved. North Africa became known as Barbary, a 16th-century geographer explained, "because the people be barbarous, not onely in language, but in manners and customs." Parts of the Indies, from Marco Polo's description, had to be civil, but other parts were obviously barbarous: for example, the lands where people went naked. Whatever civility meant, it meant clothes.
But there was a little more to it than that, and there still is. Civil people distinguished themselves by the pains they took to order their lives. They organized their society to produce the elaborate food, clothing, buildings and other equipment characteristic of their manner of living. They had strong governments to protect property, to protect good persons from evil ones, to protect the manners and customs that differentiated civil people from barbarians. The superior clothing, housing, food and protection that attached to civilization made it seem to the European a gift worth giving to the ill-clothed, ill-housed and ungoverned barbarians of the world.
Slavery was an ancient instrument of civilization, and in the 15th century it had been revived as a way to deal with barbarians who refused to accept Christianity and the rule of civilized government. Through slavery they could be made to abandon their bad habits, put on clothes and reward their instructors with a lifetime of work. Throughout the 15th century, as the Portuguese explored the coast of Africa, large numbers of well-clothed sea captains brought civilization to naked savages by carrying them off to the slave markets of Seville and Lisbon.
Since Columbus had lived in Lisbon and sailed in Portuguese vessels to the Gold Coast of Africa, he was not unfamiliar with barbarians. He had seen for himself that the Torrid Zone could support human life, and he had observed how pleased barbarians were with trinkets on which civilized Europeans set small value, such as the little bells that falconers placed on hawks. Before setting off on his voyage, he laid in a store of hawk's bells. If the barbarous people he expected to find in the Indies should think civilization and Christianity an insufficient reward for submission to Spain, perhaps hawk's bells would help.
Columbus sailed from Palos de la Frontera on Friday, August 3, 1492, reached the Canary Islands six days later and stayed there for a month to finish outfitting his ships. He left on September 6, and five weeks later, in about the place he expected, he found the Indies. What else could it be but the Indies? There on the shore were the naked people. With hawk's bells and beads he made their acquaintance and found some of them wearing gold nose plugs. It all added up. He had found the Indies. And not only that. He had found a land over which he would have no difficulty in establishing Spanish dominion, for the people showed him an immediate veneration. He had been there only two days, coasting along the shores of the islands, when he was able to hear the natives crying in loud voices, "Come and see the men who have come from heaven; bring them food and drink." If Columbus thought he was able to translate the language in two days' time, it is not surprising that what he heard in it was what he wanted to hear or that what he saw was what he wanted to see—namely, the Indies, filled with people eager to submit to their new admiral and viceroy.

The cast and crew of Angel have been given notice by the WB that this will be the last season for this show. They say they've given Whedon enough notice to wrap the show up in a fitting manner.
To put it mildly, that kind of sucks. Sure, last season wasn't so hot, but it was still better fare than most stations can put out. I've been really fond of this season thus far, though. I'm really going to miss this show.
All I watch on television now is Stargate, which itself is slumping a tad on stories lately, though they don't have many stories left to introduce the Lost City, so Stargate Atlantis can launch..
That's pretty much the only thing I watch on Warner Brothers, so that's one more channel I can do without.
