No-fly zones
After calls for the international community to consider imposing a no-fly zone over Libyan airspace, we look at some of the physics-based technology involved in enforcing them.
No-fly zones are sometimes set up in areas of conflict to prevent military aircraft from being used against civilian populations. Notable examples are the two over Iraq from 1991–2003, and that over Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993–5. To police the zones effectively, any aircraft violating them first need to be detected, and then, if necessary, shot down.
Pilots whose planes are damaged may need to eject from their aircraft. All of these aspects of no-fly zones make use of physics.
Spotting and tracking aircraft violating a no-fly zone is usually accomplished using radar.
The basic principle is a simple one: emit a radio signal and time how long it takes to be reflected back. The distance to the target can be easily calculated from that time and the constant speed of the wave – the speed of light.
The line-of-sight velocity of the object detected can be worked out from the change in wavelength of the radio signal due to the Doppler Effect.
The term "radar" was coined, as an acronym of RAdio Detection and Ranging, by the US Navy in 1940, but the development of radar goes further back than that.
During the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, several physicists independently came up with the idea of using electromagnetic waves to detect objects such as ships.
That idea was taken more seriously in the UK from 1934 with the increasing threat of war with Germany, and by the time World War 2 began in 1939 there were 19 radar stations along the south and east coasts helping to defend British airspace.
Modern scanning of the skies for aircraft that shouldn't be there is often conducted from the air rather than the ground. The Airborne Warning And Control System, or Awacs, is based on airliner designs with the addition of a radar dome mounted on the back.
As well as detecting unknown or "bogey" aircraft themselves, Awacs can share data with friendly planes, which can allow them to avoid using their own radar systems for greater stealth.
Although initially based on radio, many radar systems now use the microwave and very high infrared parts of the spectrum, with wavelengths around 1 mm to 1 m. The shorter wavelength gives a better resolution.
This can be crucial when there might be a need to separate targets only yards apart – in the 1986 movie Top Gun, Tom Cruise's character gets into trouble when his radar fails to spot until too late that a contact is not just one aircraft but two. The system used by the F14 fighters shown in the film operates in the X-band, at a frequency of 8–12 GHz (a wavelength of around 3–4 cm).
Some higher-resolution radar systems can also create images of a target object. The principle is similar to that of an ordinary flash camera. This makes it possible to identify the type of aircraft that has been detected from long range.
In areas where there may be friendly aircraft operating, a final identification check is often performed visually. This is not perfect either. Two US Army Blackhawk helicopters were shot down by the US Air Force over one of the Iraqi no-fly zones in 1994, and this led to greater caution over Bosnia and Herzegovina the following year, when Bosnian and Croatian helicopters were often painted with the markings of the Red Cross or of UN aid-giving organisations.
If a detected aircraft is positively identified as enemy, or "bandit", a decision may be taken to intercept it.
The weapon of choice is usually a missile. Unlike bombs, they are powered by their own internal propulsion – a rocket or jet engine. These are usually either solid-fuel rockets or turbojet engines for ease of maintenance and simple design respectively.
As well as detecting hostile aircraft, radar is often used to guide missiles to their targets. This is sometimes from the radar in the aircraft with instructions on course changes relayed from there to the weapon, but more modern missiles carry their own radar on-board.
The other commonly used method is for the missile to lock onto a particular heat signature.
Many use accelerometers and gyroscopes to calculate their own position and velocity, and to track the target, they can change course in one of two ways.
Using "thrust vectoring", the direction of thrust from the engine is changed by altering the nozzle angle. Using aerodynamic maneuvering, the missile's fins are rotated to change the air pressure, and therefore net force, on one side – the principle is the same as that by which planes themselves manoeuvre, and similar to that which creates the lift that gets them airborne in the first place.
Using both its own position and velocity and that of its target, along with the basic equations of mechanics. The missile's guidance or targeting system then plots a collision course.
Bailing out
A pilot whose plane is hit by a missile may need to eject.
Early ejection seats used an explosive charge of solid propellant under the seat to launch them clear of a stricken aircraft. As they could damage a pilot's spine, the Royal Air Force imposed a limit of three bail-outs before permanent reassignment to duties on the ground.
Modern seats are rocket-propelled, and many move an ejecting pilot out of the way of his crashing plane by deploying a drag chute – a small parachute designed to create drag – into the airflow.
Ejecting is now safer for the pilot in a range of circumstances from zero speed on the ground to high speed and high altitude – as long ago as 1996 two crew members ejected at 80 000 ft from an aircraft travelling at more than three times the speed of sound.

Ray Evernham Story Links
Thank you for all the email, but we are not yet aware of what role Ray Evernham will be playing for ESPN next season as an announcer. The recent news that Evernham will indeed sell his remaining interest in GEM and retire from NASCAR was expected.
As we mentioned in (click here) this column, Evernham was a surprise addition to the ESPN line-up in 2008 and the variety of roles he was assigned this season was clearly an audition for future opportunities.
Evernham has been in the broadcast booth as an analyst, worked on the Monday NASCAR Now roundtable show, provided NASCAR commentary for ESPNEWS and also most recently was a panelist in the Infield Pit Studio for the Cup Series events.
We will update his status with ESPN when news comes along. The comment section will remain open, but please post comments about Evernham's personal life elsewhere. Our interest is who he might replace on the ESPN team or if he will be added as an Infield Pit Studio panelist once again in 2009.

I have always liked Ray and felt that Jeff Gordon was never the same after he left Hendrick Motorsports and always have enjoyed him in the booth and really hope that ESPN/ABC will bring him along and at least replace Rusty or Brad because of his even demeanor on the telecasts as well as his depth of technical knowledge of not only the sport of auto racing but his knowldege of the cars as well. I have enjoyed listening to him on any of the broadcasts that they have had him on and look forward to seeing him more in 2009.

Ditto! I hope Ray does stay on ESPN as I enjoy listening to him and yes please let him replace Rusty and/or Brad - wonderful idea!

Ray had/has issues off track that some fans do not like. But he knows his stuff and is good on TV.
ESPN can get rid of Brad, Rusty and Tim, Ray can replace all 3 and from a TV standpoint we would be a lot happier.
Ray can make both the hard core long term fan and the newer fan understand the whys and the hows of what is going in a race and with the cars.
While he is not folksy like Andy Petrie, I feel Ray is a better technical analyst then Andy.
No matter how he is used Ray is an asset to the broadcast. I look forward to seeing more of him next year.
Maybe in the infield booth with Dr Punch while AB, DJ and Andy do the race upstairs? We can dream right?

Something tells me however that if Ray is "retiring" from racing, he will not want to travel to the tracks every weekend. I doubt he would be a full-time fixture in the booth.

If I had to guess, I would guess Everham would stay on at ESPN.
I can fully understand why he would want out of ownership. This is one of the winningest men in our sport, and suddenely he finds himself in a losing organization that is sucking money down a black hole because they cannot win. No wonder he wants out. Ownership seems like a headache for the Gibbs, and they are successful. I can't imagine how tough it must be with GEM when it seems little goes right.
I bet for Everham, ESPN is actually a relaxing enjoyable job. I bet he wouldn't say that about being a team owner. So I expect him to stay on ESPN.
Just my prediction.

Well, think about it. If Evernham just comes on for the Cup races, that is only seventeen weekends in the summer and fall.
Not a bad deal.

He's has a lousy presence. If he shows up as an ESPN commentator next year I won't watch. Nascar is doing less and less to hold my attention as time goes by, this will be the nail in the coffin.

I agree with anon 12:09pm. He could replace those three and save ESPN money. A win-win for all.

Ray has come the closest to keeping us in the strategy loop. Andy just doesn't have time. I really enjoy it when he puts his crew chief on and I hope to see a lot more of him next season.

I agree with Evernham replacing Wallace, Dougherty and Brewer. One of the problems with the ESPN coverage is too many voices during the race. Have him with Punch in the studio and during the race have him follow the different strategies of the teams. The Cup series has evolved to a point much like F1 where race strategy is often the difference in who wins.

I have really enjoyed and been fascinated by many of Ray's comments. He has made several comments I had never thought of and, in my view, his repeated references to statistics and probabilities reflects an increased sophistication in race strategy and management since Larry Mac and Andy P retired - which I don't mean in any way as a criticism of Larry Mac or Andy P. I know he has baggage and has made mistakes, but I am sure there is much that fans do not know (or have a right to know) about what went on.
I do suspect that he will be much more visible next season on ESPN, but I doubt anyone will be dropped.

Mr Daly
There is a point that appears to have been missed in all of the coverage about Ray Evernham, and it is this.
The retirement of Evernham from NASCAR is perhaps the most ominous barometer of the health of NASCAR.
Ray Evernham is the smartest, most revolutionary mechanical engineer to grace NASCAR since Gary Nelson was a crew chief. For thos who don't remember, Gary Nelson was so good at "cheating" and not getting caught, that NASCAR finally hired him to head up competition and oversee rules compliance.
I've heard that he was made the scapegoat for the disatrous COT project, but that is rumor, not fact.
Truth is that for a superstar like Evernham to leave the sport, then no one is safe inside NASCAR, unless your last name is the same as a European country.
get ready for Cup fields of les than 38 cars, stands that are 30% empty, and fewer and fewer tv hours of coverage.

I find Evernham's commentary tedious and dull. I would much rather see a more current person like Doug Richert giving the technical input.

I have made no secret that I do not enjoy Mr. Evernham. This has nothing to do with his personal life.
I do hope that he will not be placed in the booth. His monotone speech and bland personality are boring to this viewer.
My wish for him is to buy a race track and ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after (off of my TV). :)

I heard Evernham (while discussing the Baja deal last year) say he got to play with shocks and mechanical stuff that's off limits in Nascar now. He basically said Nascar wasn't fun anymore - not for him. He's an innovator, and being straightjacketed by increasingly heavy fines and suspensions doesn't allow him to play to his strengths.
He'll have a lot more fun with a dirt track. Go for it, keep your day job with ESPN, and tell everyone on NN what fun it is to interact with young drivers and no Nascar rulebook six feet deep.

Know when dizziness is bad
June 11, 2012
Dizziness is linked to dozens of medical conditions, but the cause may be tough to determine.
Here are two definitions of "dizzy," possible causes and ways to find relief.
»Feels like: You're about to faint. If it happens when you stand up after sitting or lying down, it could be caused by a form of low blood pressure called orthostatic hypotension.
When it lasts only a few seconds after standing and rarely occurs, it's typically not something to worry about. Even so, you should still see your doctor.
»Feels like: You're spinning. Inside your ears are tubes that contain fluid and sensors that help the brain maintain your balance. When calcium crystals in your ear dislodge and float within the tubes, the brain is sent confusing messages.
The most effective treatment is a procedure that consists of several slow maneuvers for positioning your head, which helps move the crystals.

Police: Abducted California girl, 3, found alive
HURON, Calif. (AP) -- A 3-year-old Central California girl was found alive, alone and apparently unharmed in a field about 12 hours after she was taken from her car seat in what sheriff's officials believe was a stranger abduction.
On Monday, a detective spotted the girl running through a field less than a mile from her Huron apartment, where she was taken from a vehicle Sunday evening, Fresno County sheriff's officials said.
The girl appears to have been taken by a stranger, but there was no indication she was hurt, Fresno County Sheriff's Lt. Rick Ko said Tuesday.
Her mother told police she left the girl inside her car as she went back into her home to get her wallet around 7:45 p.m. Sunday. When she returned a few minutes later, her daughter was gone.
Witnesses say they saw a male suspect leave the area on a bicycle with the child. A BMX-style bicycle was found abandoned about a block away.
"We have nothing to tell us otherwise at this point, so until we find the suspect, and if he talks to us and tells us why he did what he did, then we're going to have to go with what we believe, which is a total stranger," Sheriff's Lt. Jose Salinas told KFSN-TV.
Ko told the Fresno Bee that the bicycle and the mother's Toyota were being processed for fingerprints in an attempt to identify a suspect.

By Air Force Lt. Col. Bill Walsh
315th Airlift Wing
JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii, Jan. 9, 2013 – When a $200 million military aircraft breaks down in remote places like Afghanistan or Colombia, pilots can call on their flying crew chief, who, as most aircrew members are aware, knows everything.
"These guys have saved many, many missions," said Air Force Lt. Col. Jeffery Smith of the 300th Airlift Squadron. "They make our job of flying the airplane much easier."
Flying crew chiefs are specially trained maintenance personnel who attend a six-week maintenance special operations course in addition to the hundreds of hours of training it takes to become a premier aircraft maintainer.
"We have to know everything about the aircraft," said Air Force Tech. Sgt. Mark Graveline of the 315th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
From fueling the aircraft and checking the oil, to troubleshooting a major system malfunction, these flying mechanics earn their stripes every day. According to Smith, keeping the mission moving is critical to its success and a trained maintainer prevents small things from becoming big problems.
When an aircraft maintainer flies a mission, he has to have access to an enormous amount of maintenance information. Thanks to today's digital technology, maintenance publications are contained in a laptop featuring hundreds of pages of diagrams, part descriptions and numbers, instructions and more to keep the giant C-17 Globemaster III in the air.
Maintainers also carry a toolbox containing things like specialized wrenches, tire pressure gauges and more.
"You never know what you will need when it comes to a fix," Graveline said.
In his trademark green flight suit, Graveline routinely climbs under the Globemaster to inspect its tires and undercarriage. Carefully and methodically he covers every inch of the outside of the jet -- even taking note of rivets in the tail towering five stories above.
"We look for cracks, leaks and any sign of trouble," he said.
"These folks are specialists in many maintenance fields and save the day sometimes," Smith said. "They're even more important in places where there is no support."
Wherever the mission, the flying crew chief goes with it to ensure that the aircraft is safe and ready to fly 24 hours-a-day.

Several SBB readers have submitted personal stories about their experiences—or their families' experiences—with addiction. We offer these stories to give you an inside view of how drug addiction can affect people's lives.
We're posting these comments as we received them, unedited, except as reflected in the Sara Bellum Blog guidelines.
@Dale My son is 33 years old and badly hooked on bath salts. Like the girl that wrote her dad talks underneath his couch because he thinks people are under there my son thinks someone lives in his attic and people are climbing the trees around his house and watching him. He has pawned most of the stuff in his house to get it. I have been thru his coke addiction with him and he was clean for three years. That was bad, but candy compared to this. He has lost his job, his son he raised, most friends & family & hurt me when I refuse to give him money for this. All I can do for him is pray for him.
@James Hi, I was a teenager who abused drugs. Not just cannabis, as in this post, but many drugs. A lot of people believed I was doing it in an act of rebel, a way to say '[expletive deleted] you' to my life and society. In some regards it probably was but a part of it was I was battling some major inner demons, as the case with a lot of kids.
When you're growing up and you're falling into a chaotic pit of mental health issues, you can often feel alone. You definitely feel like an outcast. You feel like you're the only person in the world who's going through this. "Why me God?" is a common question. Drugs, such as cocaine, induce a sense of euphoria and they allowed me, and probably many others, to forget just for a couple of hours, just to get away. It was bliss.
I am not supporting drug abuse. Drug abuse did more damage to my life than I could possibly imagine. For one, I didn't go to college nor did I finish high school but that might not have happened anyway on account of being hospitalized numerous times over the course of those years.
My point, however, is to make it clear here that drug abuse is often never just the problem itself. It's a nasty side effect and, regardless of a suspension or kicking them off the football team, a teenager going through serious issues will never stop. If you want them to stop, get to the root of the issue. Don't get me started on how wrong it actually is to knock children off their favorite extra-curricular activities because of this. This will do more damage than good.
So yeah, this is my view from a reformed drug addict who is now the lead technical director of a marketing company. I think my opinion counts. I've just shared something I haven't shared in a good few years.
what happended to Dale is very sad and i know it is very hard too. And sometimes prayer does held.i hope he wil get better soon then some speacial help:(

Simply put; drug abuse may have some underlying problems, but people need to realize that it is first-and-foremost a disease. Some people's brains are simply much more susceptible to the call than others; it's chemistry. And you won't know that you're one of them until you pick up the pipe. The best we can do is aiding those we love in getting clean, no matter the cost. We must realize that nothing makes them feel the way the drug of choice makes them feel, and that is the root of the problem. The costs are too great.
drug addiction is a very bad thing. just pray for him and help him work this out. mack sure to not let him get neer drugs o alchohol the best thing for him right now is the health piramid. oh and dink lots of water you can get trew this. (i would send him some special help so h cvan talk this out) I like to express myself by painting have him pick up a brush and create! (if it is a painting with things that are good for him like a pretty senery painting you know hes getting better)
Peace out and good luck!
Me and my friend are crying their eyeballs out. OMG SOOOOO SADDDDDD
I will pray for your family
i have expirienced things with drugs so i understand the consequences.!!. i will pray for u
I have did drugs befor and its nothing to play with

:(((((( cry
i have been addicted to k2 ans other synthetic drugs. it is a very hard thing to get rid of...good luck ill pray for you and your son
i was going thru the same thing that u went thru and i agree 100%
wow that is really sad :( drug addiction is not a funny thing to joke about sooo ssssaaaddd!!

Shame on you. Shame on you for not telling me there was a whole string of rogue-ish games over at chaosforge.org, most with Linux versions and a couple with (gasp!) sound as well as color.
Doom, the Roguelike? Well darn. This could take up hours of my life, and dethrone Neverwinter Nights as my game of choice these days. Jokes aside, this is quite impressive. Cool soundtrack, reasonably fast action for a text-based game, plenty of in-game help and a cool dripping blood fade effect between levels. Just like the good old days.
I don't know what luck I'll have getting this one on the Pentium or even what performance will be like, so I might just skip it and stick with crawl at 120Mhz. On the other hand, nothing could be cooler than running a text-based Doom on a Pentium's framebuffer, with the metal soundtrack, the growling and snarling, and. … 😈
P.S.: Yes, I am aware of the whole Quake-aalib phenomenon. 😉

Real Salt Lake believe they can build an MLS dynasty, at least according to general manager Garth Lagerwey.
The confidence stems from the new four-year contract that Lagerwey signed on Thursday, ensuring he will continue as RSL's general manager through the end of the 2014 season.
The former MLS goalkeeper and lawyer is credited with helping construct the team that captured the first MLS Cup championship in club history in 2009, and RSL president Bill Manning called him "one of the sharpest young minds in the game today."
"This is my dream job," Lagerwey said in a statement. "I hope to reward [owner Dave Checketts'] faith by fulfilling the mission he has laid before all of us to construct a dynasty here at RSL.
Lagerwey joined the club in September 2007 and since then has worked closely with current Real Salt Lake manager Jason Kreis, a former Duke University and Dallas teammate whom Lagerway said he looks forward to continue working with.
"[RSL] can win multiple championships and reward the devotion of our fans, without whom we would not have our Rio Tinto Stadium unbeaten streak nor our MLS Cup triumph," said Lagerwey.
Lagerwey, a former member of the soccer media as a writer and broadcaster, is responsible for extending contracts for seven current RSL starters, including goakeeper Nick Rimando and midfielder Kyle Beckerman, while recruiting three others.
He also orchestrated the acquisition of Ned Grabavoy off waivers, the trade for American youth national team star Luis Gil, and the loan deal that brought forward Alvaro Saborio.
The announcement of Lagerwey's extension came on a day when Real Salt Lake find themselves at the top of the league standings for the first time in club history after Thursday night's 0-0 tie in Seattle. RSL are tied for the best record in MLS on 44 points with the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Columbus Crew, who face off on Saturday.

Are you looking for Revell Coffee Table and Seacrh on Google , Bing ,Yahoo ?
Here is the place for you to definitely buy in specials price , great feature and best value for Revell Coffee Table.
Great quality. Great price. Now I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews on the type of Revell Coffee Table. you cannot beat the price for the type of quality you get with the Revell Coffee Table. The delivery was quick in the box intact, very few pieces to assemble and assembly was very simple. It looks beautiful right now and I will update my review if there is any problems but I would say buy this today!
Love it! perfect size and very sturdy! This set is a great value for the price! I enjoy buy Revell Coffee Table, so all this together was no problem. It looks great and is still holding up well after regular use. My space is covered, but if it was open to the elements, I'd probably not leave the cushions out. All in all, a great set.
Beautiful Revell Coffee Table and very easy to put together, barely even needed the instructions.
It is beautiful Revell Coffee Table, and it is so comfortable it matches to all the furniture i have gotten. The color is exactly how it looks at the pictures. Delivery service was awesome. The men wore protective covering on shoes when entering the house. Love it!!! I think it is great for the money.
I ordered this Revell Coffee Table and I originally wanted to purchase this in gray but since they were out of it, I selected the blue. I love the color of this and I'd call it a teal blue. I think it was a better choice in the long run because the pop of color really livened up my space. I live in a small apartment and I needed somewhere for the grandkids to sleep when they are here. They both fit on this futon really well and they love sleeping on it. It took just a few minutes to set it up and it was easy to do. When they spend the night, I lay the cushions down and put on a fitted sheet. I then make it up like I would a regular bed. The legs and sides are zipped into a pouch in the back of the cushions making the shipping container smaller and I think it's a smart move on the company's part. I'm super happy with my purchase. I got great price. I knew exactly what to expect as far as shipping went, so I waited the allotted time, which was about 4.5 weeks. No big deal. I like my furniture comfortable, yet firm and this fits the bill perfectly! Thank you, Wayfair team, for the excellent customer service and great products.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS Revell Coffee Table. It was a little small but my boyfriend and I came up with the idea to leave it fully down all the time and add some throw pillows to make it a big lay out couch! It's perfect and we've been comfortably binge watching Netflix for days on it!! Revell Coffee Table during holiday at great price. I knew exactly what to expect as far as shipping went, so I waited the allotted time, which was about 4.5 weeks. No big deal. I like my furniture comfortable, yet firm and this fits the bill perfectly! Thank you, Wayfair team, for the excellent customer service and great products.

Oh my goodness! I just got home from one of the craziest
weekends in Austin for SXSW. It was very fun, but I must
say I am very tired. It was go-go-go the whole weekend, and
I am ready to rest a little for the rest of my spring break. It is
now officially Spring, so what better to wear than florals? This
outfit is from last week and I am just finding time to post it now,
but I think it is better late than never! I really could not resist the
lace collar on the dress. Such a sucker for little details.
Also, I was featured in a really neat online magazine, called
Spilled Milk. It is wonderful for fashion inspiration! I feel
so honored to be featured in it.
Well I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and here's to a great
new week.
wearing: vintage dress; cooperative oxfords; Kimchi blue bag; ASOS socks

YESsoccer and Giant Eagle want to help your family stay in game shape through the holidays. Consider shifting your strategy away from traditional high-speed gorging, and instead slowly savor a small portion of a variety of holiday dishes, with an attitude of gratitude.
As you savor, here are five ways to save calories:
1. White or Dark Turkey Meat?
Per 3 ounces, turkey breast ("white" meat) has 115 calories and 7 g of fat versus 160 calories and 11 g of fat in "dark" meat. So opting for the white meat will save you 50 calories and 4 grams of fat.
2. Green Bean Casserole or Sweet Potato Casserole?
Even with its creamy mushroom soup and crispy fried onions, traditional green bean casserole (161 calories, 9 g fat per 3/4 cup) is a lighter pick than sweet potato casserole (285 calories, 5 g fat per 3/4 cup). Part of the reason is that green beans are so low-cal to start with. But keep in mind that the starchier sweet potato is full of good-for-you nutrients, including beta carotene, which is a potent antioxidant and precursor to vitamin A. If you want an even lighter option, roast green beans. Here's how: Trim stem ends from 1 pound of beans. Toss with 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (or canola oil), 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Roast at 450F for 15 to 20 minutes.

The shuffler: Henry Owings, chief architect of Chunklet, the long-running magazine that hilariously tackles such world-shifting topics as the "100 Biggest Assholes In Rock." Owings just published The Rock Bible, which offers commandments for bands and fans—all based on loads of real-life experience. ("If you hand out business cards that emphasize your musical ability, you should focus more on the business-card industry than music.") But don't let the opinionated sarcasm fool you: Owings is a diehard music fan who just knows what he loves and isn't shy about what he doesn't.
Volcano Suns, "Polythene Pam"
Henry Owings: This is something that's going to be on a reissue they're doing next year. I'm a rabid, rabid fan. It's just weird how over the years you start to amass things by bands you love—especially in this digital age, getting that stuff is more and more easy. I had a box arrive at my front doorstep that was supposedly [singer-drummer] Peter Prescott's tape collection. This was part of it, so I encoded it. It's going to be on the reissues that Merge is doing in January. Oh my God, this outtake stuff is just absolutely vibrant and explosive and incredible. I absolutely adore Volcano Suns. I always think they're a bit tucked away compared to Mission Of Burma, who I love equally as much. Goddamn, what a great band.
The A.V. Club: That was enthusiastic! Do you think people don't expect you to be enthusiastic, based on the tenor of Chunklet?
HO: Possibly! I also think that if people think that, they're mistaking themselves. I'm looking right now in my office, and I just had record shelves put in—floor to ceiling. It was my birthday present to myself. I ran out of space to put records. Anybody who thinks that probably doesn't understand what I do. Yeah, we make fun of stuff, but we're also extraordinarily overqualified to make fun of this stuff. We do own every Captain Beefheart record; we do own every Frank Zappa record, every Bowie record. We might make fun of The Decemberists, but shit, in 2008, who shouldn't?
Walter Yetnikoff, Howling At The Moon book on tape
HO: This is such a great second submission… The week before my wife and I got married, I was in L.A. at Amoeba Records, and there were like five of this book on tape. It's the guy who ran Sony Records in America and—I'm gonna have to check my facts on this, but I think he went on to run Columbia Records in the '80s. If you want a snapshot of record-label excess, listen to this book on tape. Not only does he read his own book, it's absurd how many drugs he did, the crowds he kept with. So when we were driving back from getting married, from the Tennessee mountains back to Atlanta, we could not stop listening to it. You know that book The Kid Stays In The Picture? It bothers me that this isn't in that pantheon of completely insane… Within the first chapter, he has personal interactions with Jackie O, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger—that's all like within one day. He did so much cocaine that he and his wife used to call it "milk." They would talk about having to go for milk runs, like "Are we low on milk?" It's an extraordinary, hilarious peek into what I would guess is now a dying breed—this guy that could speed-read contracts, one of those Hit Men types. It's a hilarious book. It's kind of like the book Crazy From The Heat by David Lee Roth; every time I see it, I grab it and give it to somebody. Every time, people say, "I can't thank you enough for getting me this."
AVC: Would you put something like that on your iPod?
HO: I put books-on-tape on my iPod all the time. Right now on my iPod is the Barack Obama book, but for some reason it's indexed weird, so it shuffles around between chapters. I listen to books on tape religiously, especially when I travel.
Olivia Tremor Control, "The Giant Day (Peel Session)"
HO: This was on a record I put out for them [on Owings' Drug Racer label] back in… 1995? God, I'm old.
AVC: You were in the middle of that whole Elephant 6 thing, right?
HO: I sometimes feel like an indie-rock Zelig, because I've been able to participate in so many of what I would consider very important things—not just to me, to culture. Being part of the Elephant 6 thing back in the mid-'90s was extraordinary, and I feel very, very lucky. Not only were they my housemates and friends, but I got to put out records by Elf Power, The Olivias, put on house parties with Neutral Milk Hotel. Then I moved to Atlanta, and almost the same thing happened again with Mastodon and The Black Lips and The Carbonas and Deerhunter. I feel like I'm just a pleasant spectator of all this stuff—not just a spectator, but an active participant. To say that it's humbling would sound cheesy, but it's true. I just feel really happy to be involved with all this. The Olivias reunited a few years ago, and I was on the Comedians Of Comedy Tour every goddamn time they were reuniting, so I never got to see them. But I have plenty of very fond memories of them playing living rooms and little clubs in Athens, and assembling records with them back in '95 and '96.
Uncle Dave Macon, "Keep My Skillet Good And Greasy"
HO: He was a banjo player from before the Depression. He was, if not the first, one of the first stars of the Grand Ole Opry. I think he had like 19 different banjo-picking styles. He grew up learning how to play banjo from transients in Tennessee. He was a gregarious, larger-than-life figure. Any photo I've ever seen of him, he's just holding a pipe and wearing a suit. I went to the Country Music Hall Of Fame in Nashville, which I don't recommend. I got to see Uncle Dave's suit, one of those things where it's behind glass… There's Dolly Parton's rhinestone-covered dress, and there's Uncle Dave Macon's suit and suspenders. But you know what really fucking pissed me off? Right next to that was Billy Ray Cyrus' T-shirt. Let me get this straight. Not only was it just a T-shirt, it was a Gap T-shirt. So here it is, one of the true stars of country music, Uncle Dave Macon, and then there's like Glen Campbell's jacket. Then you have this jackass with a Gap T-shirt, behind glass. It made me really, really angry.
AVC: Do you think that, for lack of a better word, the hipsters of a hundred years from now will find Billy Ray Cyrus records and think he was a genius?
HO: I always get pissed off when people bring up what hipsters would be into. If they do, I hope that putting bullets in your head is of-the-moment. Jesus Christ, what a shame. [Laughs.]
AVC: Are you at war with hipsters, or the word "hipster"?
HO: I'm no more at war with the word "hipster" than I am at war with the term "schmooze." I hit 40 this year, and the idea of "hipsters"—and I use quote marks when I say "hipsters"—makes me think of people that aren't genuinely into something that they're into. People bring up, "Oh, you like the Vivian Girls, that's so hipster of you." And I'm like, "What the fuck are you talking about?! It's a great record!" When I think "hipster," I think something that people kind of clench their teeth and endure instead of something that they're legitimately into. I'm not more at war with hipsters now than when I started listening to music. I just want to like what I like. And I sometimes think that when I see a blog or magazine extol the virtues of one band or one genre of music, and I think "Are you fucking serious? This stuff is unlistenable!" There are many, many examples, but I would prefer keeping this conversation on the up-and-up.
AVC: Dammit.
HO: Do you want me to smack-talk? I can totally fucking smack-talk. Look at something like Of Montreal, for instance, which is a glorified eighth-generation Spiders From Mars. I'm fine with there being an eighth-generation Spiders From Mars, but I've got a better idea—why don't you listen to the Spiders From Mars and learn where they're cribbing every last one of their stage antics from? Go and buy some records from the '70s and late '60s, and watch some DVDs, and you'll see where they stole everything. It might be some of the least imaginative shit that I could imagine. I have nothing against their success, but give me a fucking break.
AVC: Not to take this conversation into too serious an area, but are you then discounting the idea that people might just actually love that music? Surely people like Of Montreal just because they like how it sounds.
HO: God bless 'em. I had a long discussion about guilty pleasures… But if somebody likes the music, God bless 'em. There are things that I like that people make fun of me about. I'm not one to say, "You can't listen to this." I just roll my eyes and shrug my shoulders.
AVC: Are you skipping something?
HO: [Laughs.] I'll go back. If you want to talk about hipster, this is as hipster as it gets.
Flower Travellin' Band, "Satori, Part 2"
HO: They were from the early '70s in Japan. Have you heard about this new book by Julian Cope called Japrocksampler? They're on the cover of the frickin' book. The Japanese have never been very good at creating something original, but they're very good at taking something inherently not from their country and making it incredible. Anything from industry, or the arts… Look at music: Guitar Wolf or Teengenerate or The Boredoms. It's inherently American music, and they take it and reinterpret it and send it back even more insane. The Flower Travellin' Band is a prime example; they take something from American music in the late '60s and completely reinterpret it and make it unbelievable. But I know they're sort of a band of the moment. I was out promoting the book this week and I saw the record everywhere, and I was like "Fucking awesome!"
AVC: How many hours a day do you listen to music?
HO: Every one of them? I work out of the house, so I'm really lucky that I can just listen to music all day. If you told me when I was 17, when I was buying music that I still listen to today, that I could listen to it all day… The only time I don't listen to music is mostly when I'm traveling. I don't put in my iPod and zone out. I love ingesting sights and sounds, so I won't carry my iPod in Berlin or New York. I like being able to absorb everything. But when I'm at home working, I absolutely listen to music all day.
AVC: What's the biggest part of your day? Chunklet? Freelance design?
HO: Mostly design stuff, but it really changes from day to day. I do a lot of design, a lot of Chunklet, putting out records. I manage this band from Athens called Harvey Milk, taking care of stuff for their tour. But if you did a pie chart, it would mostly be design work.
Barbecue Pants, "I Trusted You"
HO: This song is so fucking funny. Listen to it for a second. This was a joke band from Athens. This is a recording from when they performed before Dinosaur Jr., maybe last year. The lineup was two of the guys from Hayride, Dave Schools from Widespread Panic, and Kyle Spence from Harvey Milk. All they did was covers, like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith. This song is "I Trusted You." I don't know how familiar you are with Andy Kaufman's performed work, but he did this song, which for eight minutes is just him saying "I trusted you." So for this song, they had J. Mascis perform with them. It was the most surreal eight minutes of one riff you could possibly imagine. I don't think anybody in the crowd really got it, but I was laughing my fucking ass off. That sense of humor is right up their alley. Dave Schools—say what you will about his day job—it was some funny, funny shit. Then they did a Led Zeppelin song, and then came back and revisited this song later. Fucking brilliant. I just love the name of the band, Barbecue Pants. It's a very Southern sort of name. I got my barbecue pants on.

NASDAQ froze trading today for three hours due to a technical glitch.
Trades halted due to an issue with something called UTP SIP quote dissemination, reminding us all that life is so fragile.
We knew that the NASDAQ froze because of the faulty SIP. We knew that regulators were coordinating to figure out what went wrong. And we knew that trading eventually resumed.
So what did NASDAQ have to say for itself in the new explanation? Not much. Check out their press release (via CNBC):
Earlier this afternoon, NASDAQ OMX became aware that price quotes were not being disseminated by the Securities Industry Processor (SIP), which consolidates and disseminates all prices for the industry.
Responding to the SIP issue, in order to protect the integrity of the markets, NASDAQ OMX issued a regulatory halt for all trading in NASDAQ-listed securities.
In the first 30 minutes, technical issues with the SIP were resolved. For the remaining period of time, NASDAQ OMX, other exchanges, regulators and market participants coordinated with each other to ensure an orderly re-opening of trading in NASDAQ-listed securities.
Trading resumed and the balance of the trading day finished in normal course.
NASDAQ OMX will work with other exchanges that are members of the SIP to investigate the issues of today, and we will support any necessary steps to enhance the platform.
The crucial question of what caused this remains unanswered.

1. The SWT C library is using JNI, duh. It relies on JNI for some operations so you can't just use the SWT.dll in your haskell code that easily
2. The SWT C bindings are very low level, and there is a wealth of Java code on top of that to provide a lot ow glue and boilerplate code for all kind of widgets, and it would be long and painful to rewrite it all in Haskell.
My Java to Haskell code converter only being a dream at the moment (one day...), the next reasonable (ahem) option was then obvious: start a few blown JVM from Haskell and use it to drive SWT classes.
I'm a Java expert, I can say, and my Haskell is slowly coming on, but the glue in between has to be C, so it wasn't a smooth ride, but I finally got it working! So what's happening is this:
- The Haskell applications starts as they all do, in a main :: IO() function
- Haskell invokes some C code that starts a new JVM, passing it a classpath. The C code acts then as a facade hiding some of the intricacies of accessing the JVM
- Haskell uses the foreign C functions to create ands manipulate the SWT Java objects
- I even got callbacks working, meaning you can register a Haskell listener on a SWT button, and hence have Haskell code calculate the results of that button click.
And I have proof! Here's a simple SWT Shell with one button:
do modifyMVar count (\c->do let nc=c+1 let s=if nc==1 then "once." else ((show nc)++ " times.") text3<-toJString ("Clicked "++s) voidMethod button "setText" "(Ljava/lang/String;)V" [JObj text3] return(nc,()) )
You can see here the invocation of the setText method of the SWT Button, which for the moment requires knowing the exact JNI signature, and the translation from Haskell strings to Java strings.
Of course, there is still loads to do. I probably need to automatically generate bindings to the Java objects to simplify greatly their manipulation, wrap stateful operations in a monad, etc. But this may open a new way for Haskell GUI. Or it may just be a crazy idea that has already taught me a lot about FFI and JNI...

A New Category Of Off-Road Excitement
Traxxas sets the standard for power, performance and innovation. Now, for the first time, all the speed, quality and capability you expect from Traxxas is available in 1/16 scale with the new 1/16 E-Revo VXL. At 14 inches long, E-Revo VXL is about half the size of the 1/10-scale E-Revo. But don't call it a "mini"—this is a whole new category of R/C performance and fun that no mere mini-model can match. Beneath the factory-finished polycarbonate shell, you'll find the winning suspension technology of the seven-time National Champion Traxxas Revo, screaming Velineon brushless-motor power, and the convention-busting innovation of the E-Revo.
Proven Traxxas Innovation
No detail was overlooked in our mission to bring all the capability, durability, and excitement of Traxxas' award-winning models to 1/16 scale for fast, affordable R/C fun. The E-Revo VXL is built on the race-winning, track-proven innovation of the Revo and E-Revo models. The standard-bearer of design excellence, the Revo's F1-inspired, rocker-actuated suspension has been expertly adapted to 1/16 scale with all its functionality and performance intact, right down to the oil-filled, threaded-body GTR shocks. This superior technology provides capability, performance, and tuning functions at the absolute pinnacle of truck design. The suspension and electronics are fully integrated into the semi-monocoque chassis design that stunned the world when it debuted with the E-Revo. Intricately molded as a single piece, the chassis balances strength and weight, function and aesthetics, convenience and performance to far surpass the standards of the "mini" category. In 1/16 scale, it is an even more impressive achievement of packaging and performance optimization that could only come from Traxxas, The Fastest Name In Radio Control.
Class-Leading Speed
Some mini-models are "fast for a mini." That's not good enough for Traxxas. The 1/16 E-Revo VXL is just plain fast. At 30+mph with the included 6-cell NiMH battery, E-Revo VXL is nearly twice as fast as most mini models, and faster than most electric RTR trucks of any scale. Install a second 6-cell battery to unleash the Velineon Brushless Power System's full fury, and E-Revo VXL jumps to over 50mph—all with proven-safe NiMH packs. No other RTR truck, regardless of scale, makes it so easy and affordable to experience this level of high speed and wheelie-popping power.
Velineon Brushless Power
All-new and built specifically for Traxxas 1/16 scale models, the VXL-3m speed control and Velineon 380 motor represent the latest in brushless technology. Fully LiPo compatible with low-voltage detection for 2S and 3S packs and rated for 6-12 NiMH cells, this potent, powerful combo gives E-Revo VXL precise throttle control and blistering top speed. Patented Training Mode lets new drivers hone their skills at 50% throttle. When drivers' ed is through, full power and 50+mph is unleashed with a touch of the EZ-Set button. Big speed requires big horsepower, so E-Revo VXL and Slash 4WD VXL carry the largest motor in the "mini" category. The Velineon 380 is built to the same no-compromise specs as the Velineon 3500 found in Traxxas' 70+mph 1/10 scale VXL models. High-speed ball bearings. Sintered rotor. Neodymium magnets.

Watching the assault on the American embassies in Cairo and elsewhere in the Muslim Middle East, viewing the trampling of the flag of the United States, learning of of the murders of Ambassador Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi, one is filled with feelings of impotent rage, of humiliation, of indignation. I find virtually nothing of the feelings of average Americans reflected in administration statements. Here was the single operative sentence in Obama's statement on the murder of Ambassador Stevens:
I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
As soon as he was able to calm himself down, he took Air Force One for a campaign spin to Vegas. Has he been able to find the time to make a statement on the attacks on American embassies in Cairo and elsewhere the past few days?
Secretary of State Clinton also issued a statement. She had this to say:
It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the death of four American personnel in Benghazi, Libya, yesterday.
But wait! There was more:
We condemn this vicious and violent attack that took their lives, which they had committed to helping the Libyan people reach for a better future.
In another statement Clinton referred to the murders as a "senseless act of violence."
The longest statement issued by Clinton addresses the video that provides the pretext for the Benghazi murders and the Cairo embassy attacks. Good God, get a clue!
Clinton's statement warrants close reading in its entirety. Here she instructs Muslims on the tenets of their faith:
Violence, we believe, has no place in religion and is no way to honor religion. Islam, like other religions, respects the fundamental dignity of human beings, and it is a violation of that fundamental dignity to wage attacks on innocents. As long as there are those who are willing to shed blood and take innocent life in the name of religion, the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace. It is especially wrong for violence to be directed against diplomatic missions. These are places whose very purpose is peaceful: to promote better understanding across countries and cultures. All governments have a responsibility to protect those spaces and people, because to attack an embassy is to attack the idea that we can work together to build understanding and a better future.
And here she instructs Muslims on the tenets of America's faith, so to speak:
Now, I know it is hard for some people to understand why the United States cannot or does not just prevent these kinds of reprehensible videos from ever seeing the light of day. Now, I would note that in today's world with today's technologies, that is impossible. But even if it were possible, our country does have a long tradition of free expression, which is enshrined in our Constitution and our law, and we do not stop individual citizens from expressing their views no matter how distasteful they may be.
There are, of course, different views around the world about the outer limits of free speech and free expression, but there should be no debate about the simple proposition that violence in response to speech is not acceptable. We all, whether we are leaders in government, leaders in civil society or religious leaders, must draw the line at violence. And any responsible leader should be standing up now and drawing that line.
One can't help noticing that in her statement Clinton is less equivocal on the putative tenets of Islam than on those of the United States.

Understand Your Role in Science Education - Understand Your Role
Understand Your Role in Science Education
Your knowledge, expertise and experience can bring life to high school science
There is great benefit to be gained when scientists partner with educators to improve science education.
Your Place in the Classroom
What can you do as a scientist that a science teacher can't or does not do? You can bring a systematic approach from your experience in the laboratory.
- Make the science come alive by illustrating how classroom science applies to the professional laboratory.
- Make the students aware of the relevance of science to their lives.
- Make students believe that their knowledge of science can make a difference.
In most science courses, teaching is done by explaining relevant scientific topics, giving examples, and providing practice: The presumption is that such instruction is sufficient to make students capable of using their newly acquired knowledge effectively. Sometimes special environments such as laboratories or computational environments are provided, where students can explore and learn by discovery. There is a presumption that the students will acquire useful knowledge and even transfer their learning to other domains. There is evidence today that the learning outcomes are often disappointing. Students need help in making the jump from theory to application. You can provide this help by giving them more experience in the procedures and processes of science.
Scientist/Educator Partnerships
Students benefit most by scientist/teacher partnerships because teachers gain content knowledge and insights into the process of scientific investigation. The scientists also gain from this relationship because they become more sensitive to the needs of teachers. They form a team by merging the experience of teaching strategies and content knowledge. This team approach is most effective when working with middle or high schools students. Most science teachers have had little experience working as practicing scientists, yet their students look to them as content "experts." Both parties should have a mutual respect for their partner's expertise. A partnership can quickly dissolve if either party dismisses the professional experience of the other.
The scientist can benefit from the partnership by spending time in the classroom and perhaps thus gaining an appreciation for diverse pre-college teaching methodologies and strategies. It is important to understand that student learn at different rates and in different ways. The depth of knowledge that a scientist possesses on a particular subject may be a liability because the students need to know only what is necessary to perform an experiment or to understand a concept. Too much information may cause confusion. Both the scientist and teacher may need to make concessions to preserve the scientific integrity as well as the pedagogical integrity of the experience for the students.

FSU Circus Camp Canceled
FSU Circus will not be at Callaway Gardens for Summer 2020
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all Ages:
Let me introduce you to the FSU Flying High Circus.
We are one of only two collegiate circuses in the United States. A unique tradition on the campus of The Florida State University since 1947, the Circus is a year-round program in which FSU students can participate. We boast an impressive student group that takes advantage of a marvelous learning opportunity from the circus as a part of their collegiate experience.
Once you see our show you will be amazed that it is put on by amateur college students. Even though they receive no class credit, they are able to put on a performance that rivals that of a professional show. Not only do our students perform in the show, but they also are involved in virtually every aspect of production from setup of our Big Top tent to the sewing of our costumes. The show is the culmination of the tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, and skill that our students bring to our organization. If you are enrolled at Florida State University, and would like to get involved, you can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you had bought an original copy of Irving Berlin's first runaway nationwide hit, "Alexander's Ragtime Band," the label would tell you the title, composer and last names of the vocalists.
That's not a lot of information for an historic tune. But if you look up the same recording on the Library of Congress' new National Jukebox, you'll discover that the tune was first recorded on May 23, 1911 in Camden, NJ, featuring the celebrated vocal duo of Arthur Collins (baritone) and Byron Harlan (tenor) backed up by the Victor Military Band.
For even more detail, you can go to the same place that the National Jukebox gets its information: The NEH-supported preservation resource called the Encyclopedic Discography of Victor Recordings (EDVR) . Located at the University of California at Santa Barbara, the EDVR has the ambitious goal of eventually providing a comprehensive database that extends beyond the products of the Victor Talking Machine Company (1901-1929) to the end of the 78-rpm era in the early 1950s.
Look up Berlin's hit in the EDVR, and in addition to information about that specific recording you'll find out what else Victor recorded that day (22 other pieces, of which 10 are in Spanish), everything else that Collins and Harlan did for Victor (including the frequently overlooked "Paddle Your Own Canoe" and "Down Where the Sweet Potatoes Grow"), subsequent Victor recordings of Berlin's hit song, and even oddball variants such as "Alexander's Bagpipe Band" (1912), among other things.
There are about 10,000 recordings currently available through the National Jukebox, and "when the information contained in the EDVR is combined with the actual recordings in the National Jukebox, our nation's early sound history comes alive, providing a truly captivating and contextually rich experience," says Joshua Sternfeld, Senior Program Officer in NEH's Division of Preservation and Access (DPA), which funds the EDVR.
"Regardless of whether a library is a physical collection or an online digital collection, its foundation is its catalog," says David Seubert, Curator of the Performing Arts Collection at the University of California at Santa Barbara. And indeed the Jukebox website acknowledges that the EDVR has "had a profound impact" on the project, providing data that "serve as source cataloging for virtually all of the recordings in the National Jukebox."
Early response to the Jukebox has surpassed expectations: In the first three weeks following its May 10 launch, the site attracted 356,000 visitors who played 738,000 streams of music. Interestingly, one of the most requested songs on the site to date has been "Wreck of the Old 97" by Vernon Dalhart, a huge hit when it was released in 1924. The song, which describes a famously horrendous 1903 mail train crash near Danville, VA, is widely believed to be the first "country" recording to sell a million copies.
However, EDVR's scope extends beyond the Jukebox. It "provides a detailed documentary history of the recorded sound industry," says Sternfeld. "Victor Talking Machine Company recorded every genre of music, including performances by popular vocalists, minstrel groups, military bands, dance bands, jazz groups, country artists, ethnic music ensembles, opera singers, symphony orchestras, and chamber music groups." For example, click here to see a selection of recordings by legendary Italian tenor Enrico Caruso (1873-1921).
Nor are those the only genres. "Besides musical performances," Sternfeld notes, "Victor recorded many types of spoken works such as literary readings, political addresses, children's stories, dramatic scenes, voice and language instruction, comic monologues, advertisements, and radio series." Click here to hear De Wolf Hopper's stirring 1909 recitation of "Casey at the Bat."
The EDVR project, which NEH has supported since 2007, adds about 1,000 recordings a month to its database by searching the record company's own documentation, other collections and sources, and various experts. "It currently provides critical catalog records of sound recordings from 1900 to the 1940s," says Charles Kolb, a DPA Senior Program Officer.
Recently, EDVR received another NEH grant providing funding through the first half of 2013. That award "will enable us to extend the discography backward as well as forward chronologically," says Sam Brylawski, Editor of the EDVR. "We'll enhance it by adding the issued recordings of the Berliner Gramophone Company, Victor's corporate predecessor of the 1890's. Berliner records were the first commercial disc recordings and the first sound recordings to be marketed as entertainment in the home, exclusively."
Searching the EDVR, Sternfeld says, "allows researchers, educators, and recording enthusiasts to reconstruct a 'sound history' of the U.S., to see when musical genres such as early jazz or country became popular, which classical composers were most performed and by whom, how commercial influences affected performance decisions, or how technology transformed listening behaviors."
