black holes big crunch... does this theory assume that when a black hole -- the one that will be created when all the black holes combine into one big one -- gains too much mass. it explodes, or does whatever, like the big bang all over again?, or will it remain a black hole forever? also, can the gravitational pull from a black whole trap the wavefunction of a particle?... or any object?
well what if it is fed enough... can it be fed too much? and if it can't then does that mean when the universe is eventualy eaten up by the huge black hole that will likely be created at its center that that will be it... GAME OVER?
batmanmg wrote:no center? if there is expansion then there has to be a center for the expansion. otherwise its just movement. so theres that.
batmanmg wrote:WTF is the big crunch then? I hear reference after reference to this... and then i hear that the universe is expanding so anything having to do with it colapsing into a single position isn't possible. so if the universe is expanding, and isn't going to implode. what is the big crunch... Is the name ironic or something... cuz i assumed that it meant that everything would slam back into the center.
batmanmg wrote:ummm no it means neither of them are. and quite possibly there is no physcal point in our space that is the center. but a center an expansion still makes.
batmanmg wrote:you talked about the baloon. well that balloon has a center, regardless of what you say. it may not be a point in the physical universe, but its still there. if you make the radius of the baloon = 0 it becomes a point.. that point is in fact the centere.
batmanmg wrote:and im assuming that the matter isn't expanding along with the universe? or is it.
batmanmg wrote:either way. the distance between all the objects will get close enough that if there are several black holes. everthing well get sucked up into them. and each of them will get close enough to eachother that they will get sucked up into eachother. that leaves one really big black hole.. maybe not at the physical center of the universe. but its the only thing left in it.

To complement our theme of space exploration, Scott Brown, editor of Fine Books & Collections magazine, has chosen one of the very finest copies of Tom Wolfe's history of the Mercury space program, The Right Stuff, as the pick of the month.
A fine copy in two dust jackets (both in fine condition): the usual first edition jacket and the rare first-state jacket with an entirely different hippy design which is suggestive of the covers on Wolfe's earlier books.
Publisher: New York: Farrar, Strauss, Giroux
Publication Date: 1979
Binding: Hardcover, with two dust jackets
Edition: First Edition
Find this Copy
Tom Wolfe made a name for himself in the 1960s by chronicling the counter-culture in books like The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers. That background made his terrific book, The Right Stuff, about heroism during the early years of the American space program, all the more surprising. The book appeared when the United States still felt the malaise of the Watergate scandal and just days after the Iranian hostage crisis began. The Right Stuff reminded readers of the tremendous risks taken by test pilots like Chuck Yeager, Gus Grissom, and John Glenn.
Bertram Rota Ltd., a venerable London antiquarian bookstore, is offering an exceptional first edition of The Right Stuff. This first edition includes the very scarce trial dust jacket, which was changed at the last minute from a striking design suggestive of the covers on Wolfe's earlier books to a more somber, patriotic illustration. Copies in the trial wrapper were never sold to the public and even now are not widely known to exist.
Even better, Wolfe inscribed this book in a magnificent hand to Wayne Warga, a pilot and fellow author, who, according to Wolfe "first returned the astronauts to earth." This inscription refers to the first memoir of a moon astronaut, Buzz Aldrin's 1973 book, Return to Earth, which was co-written with Warga. Bertram Rota's copy of The Right Stuff is accompanied by a four-page advanced promotional pamphlet entitled The Brotherhood of the Right Stuff. Warga is familiar to many book collectors as the author of three bibliomysteries, Hardcover, Fatal Impressions, and Singapore Transfer, featuring a fictional Los Angeles book dealer
First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper. Wolfe's look at the early days of the manned space program, basis for the highly regarded 1983 film directed by Philip Kaufman, and featuring a good ensemble cast with Sam Shepard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, and Dennis Quaid. A lovely copy. First edition.
A very nice copy of this First Edition. Very clean and tidy protected dust wrapper*. No significant dirt. No chips or tears. A little bumping / edge wear to the wrapper with some darkening to the edges. Not clipped. The book itself is very clean and tidy, with no significant damage to it. Slight darkening to the edges. No inscriptions. (*All our wrappers are protected in removable clear plastic film). ; 8vo 7 ¾" - 9 ¾" tall; 480 pages.

With developer Rudy Huyn now working fulltime on Windows Phone app development, we can expect more updates and more apps, right? Version 1.4 of his popular 6tag Instagram client is evidently coming along nicely.
In a video just posted (and seen below), Huyn shows off what looks like a few new features in the upcoming refresh.
Starting in version 1.4, users will be able to rotate images around to line them up perfectly, which is good for you perfectionists out there. That rotation tool is actually found in the official iOS and Android apps, so it's good to see parity once again between 6tag and the official versions.
The other feature looks to be a dark theme for the new Modern design layout. It's not clear if that's an optional change that users can select or a redesign. Either way, it looks good (and yes, it looks a bit like Instance version 2 beta).
So when can you have version 1.4? This week, specifically in the next 3 to 4 days. Of course we'll tell you when it goes live. For now, you can use version 1.3.1, which is in the Store.

In today's Wall Street Journal, Arthur Brooks writes about the most intractable problem facing today's liberals: too many of them are choosing not to reproduce:
Simply put, liberals have a big baby problem: They're not having enough of them, they haven't for a long time, and their pool of potential new voters is suffering as a result. According to the 2004 General Social Survey, if you picked 100 unrelated politically liberal adults at random, you would find that they had, between them, 147 children. If you picked 100 conservatives, you would find 208 kids. That's a "fertility gap" of 41%. Given that about 80% of people with an identifiable party preference grow up to vote the same way as their parents, this gap translates into lots more little Republicans than little Democrats to vote in future elections.
Alarmingly for the Democrats, the gap is widening at a bit more than half a percentage point per year, meaning that today's problem is nothing compared to what the future will most likely hold. Consider future presidential elections in a swing state (like Ohio), and assume that the current patterns in fertility continue. A state that was split 50-50 between left and right in 2004 will tilt right by 2012, 54% to 46%. By 2020, it will be certifiably right-wing, 59% to 41%. A state that is currently 55-45 in favor of liberals (like California) will be 54-46 in favor of conservatives by 2020–and all for no other reason than babies.
The fertility gap doesn't budge when we correct for factors like age, income, education, sex, race–or even religion. Indeed, if a conservative and a liberal are identical in all these ways, the liberal will still be 19 percentage points more likely to be childless than the conservative.
This may seem like a mystery, but trial lawyers make their living by picking juries, and any trial lawyer will tell you (as do public opinion surveys) that conservatives are happier and more optimistic than liberals. Happier and more optimistic people have more children. It is, really, a tough problem for the left to solve; it explains why liberals want to make voters out of millions of illegal aliens.

Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis
Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis
How is cystic fibrosis diagnosed?
Newborns are screened for cystic fibrosis (CF) as part of each state's newborn screening program. If the results are positive, it does not mean your baby has cystic fibrosis. Additional tests are done as described below.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, other tests for CF may include:
Sweat (chloride) test. This test measures the amount of chloride in the sweat. It's done by placing a solution on the forearm (or the thigh, if your child is too small) and attaching electrodes. The skin is stimulated to sweat with a mild electric current, which does not cause pain or harm to your child. The sweat is collected onto a gauze pad and analyzed. Higher than normal amounts of chloride may suggest CF. The sweat test is not painful and usually causes only minor discomfort.
Genetic tests. Blood, or cells taken from a cheek scraping, can be tested for mutations in the CFTR gene.
As part of the assessment of CF symptoms, your child may also have these tests:
Blood tests. These may include pancreatic function tests.
Chest X-rays. This test uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to create images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Pulmonary function tests. These tests help measure the lungs' ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide appropriately. They are usually done with special machines that a child must breathe into.
Sputum cultures. This test is done on the material that is coughed up from the lungs and into the mouth. A sputum culture is often done to find out if an infection is present.
Stool evaluations. These are done to measure stool fat absorption.

Gas spike drove up February consumer prices
WASHINGTON A spike in gas prices drove a measure of U.S. consumer costs up in February by the most in more than three years. But outside the gain in fuel, inflation was mostly modest.
The Labor Department says consumer prices increased a seasonally adjusted 0.7 percent last month from January, the biggest rise since June 2009. Still, three-fourths of the increase reflected a 9.1 percent surge in gas prices. Gas prices had fallen for the previous four months. Food prices increased just 0.1 percent.
For the 12 months that ended in February, prices increased 2.0 percent. That's in line with the Federal Reserve's inflation target.
Excluding volatile food and energy costs, core inflation rose just 0.2 percent in February. Over the past 12 months, core prices have risen just 2 percent.

How to Use the Images Photos 1 & 2
Photos 1 & 2
Photo 5 shows the lunar module returning to the command module. The surface of the Moon is behind the lunar module, and the earth, half in shadow, is visible in the upper center of the photo.
Questions for Photos 5
1. For some astronauts, the view of the earth from the Moon was one of the most memorable parts of their space flights. Why do you think that might have been the case?
2. What can you learn about the lunar module from studying this photo? What can you learn about the Moon?
3. Many people think that images like this, showing the Earth as a small, fragile "blue marble," helped create the modern environmental movement. Why might people make that connection? Explain your answer.
* The photo on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Photo 5, but be aware that the file will take as much as 39 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Charges against Occupy Boston protesters dropped
Suffolk County prosecutors Friday dropped the case against more than two dozen protesters arrested during the Occupy Boston demonstrations, but at least five defendants will contest the dismissal in hopes of fighting the accusations on their merits.
"Our clients feel that they deserve a day in court to contest their arrests on constitutional grounds,'' said Jeff Feuer, of the National Lawyers Guild, which is defending the demonstrators. "They were using a public park.''
Feuer said the October 2011 arrests, which came as the demonstration swelled beyond its original boundaries in Dewey Square, violated the protesters' rights of assembly and free speech under the state's constitution. The five protesters were scheduled to go on trial Monday, but instead will appear in Boston Municipal Court to contest the dismissal, which would end the legal proceedings against the protesters.
A spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said prosecutors decided to resolve the cases because the defendants had abided by certain restrictions imposed by the court for more than a year. Other protesters charged with trespassing and unlawful assembly had agreed to similar conditions in resolving their cases.
"There's now parity with prior cases arising from the protests,'' Jake Wark said. "They've served essentially the same sentences.''
Wark said the defendants had been offered similar dispositions shortly after their arrests, but they insisted on criminal trials.
Prosecutors also considered the resources of their office and the "gravity of these cases relative to those involving firearm violations, violent crime, and other offenses.''
About 120 protesters agreed to resolve their cases by serving a period of probation or pay a fine. But 27 have refused to settle, believing the charges were unjust.
"We were behaving in a legal manner,'' said Tammi Arford, one of the five demonstrators.
Arford said defendants have been preparing for a trial, only to have the prosecution drop the charges just before it was slated to begin.
"They have been dragging us through this process for more than a year,'' she said.
Arford and Andrea Hill, another Occupy member, said they believed that resolving the cases would have been an admission of wrongdoing.
Defendants argue that the area where they were arrested is public land at the entrance to the Rose Kennedy Greenway, which is managed by a private nonprofit and created to be public space. They note that the nonprofit, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, had written a letter before the raids saying it would allow the encampment to stay.
"Charging them with criminal conduct for exercising those rights was plainly unlawful and in violation of their constitutional rights to assembly and free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Articles 16 and 19 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights,'' the lawyers guild said.
Prosecutors cited a 2011 decision by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances McIntyre, who wrote that the protesters had no First Amendment right to "seize and hold the land on which they sit.''

There is an "inner celebrity chef" in me.
I always daydream about my "celebrity chef" moments–giving speeches about my cooking and recipes to applauding fans; authoring a series of Rasa "fill-in-the-country-name" cookbooks (starting with Rasa Malaysia, of course).
Hosting glitzy food schmooze fests attended only by the crème de la crème; looking-and-cooking pretty in the highest rating lifestyle and food show; and the list goes on. All these are fantasies, but I indulge in them whenever possible.
This past weekend, instead of just dreaming, I actually made a celebrity chef dish. Thanks to the abundant celeb chef-authored cookbooks out in the market, now everyone can cook like one in your home kitchen…
Since I bought the acclaimed "Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges" cookbook, I have been wanting to try out his steamed mussels recipe.
The picture on the cookbook was practically calling my name, and it's no secret that I am partial to shellfish. It was a great choice as Jean-Georges's steamed mussels recipe is exquisite–the flavor delivered was simply "ambrosial."
The most interesting ingredient used in Jean-Georges's steamed mussels recipe is coconut juice–the soul of this dish and the base of the highly addictive broth.
While I have tried coconut juice steamed herbal chicken in Malaysia, I have never thought about the possibility of using it with shellfish. What a brilliant idea! The refreshing taste of coconut juice infuses the steamed mussels with just the right tint of natural sweetness, while it brings out and complements the complex flavors of lemongrass, bird's eye chilies, galangal, and Thai basil.
The steamed mussels were delicious and I kept not a single drop of the broth to waste. When food is that good, it's a satisfaction. My stomach and taste buds were thoroughly fulfilled.
Jean-Georges's steamed mussels is a 5-star recipe and it's Rasa Malaysia certified.

Box Office: The Equalizer Soars to No. 1

Google has steadily been moving away from the "don't be evil" principles it laid out in its 2004 IPO filing, and now another one is about to bite the dust: paid inclusion.
Paid inclusion was how a lot of search engines worked before Google came on the scene. Companies would pay for chances to be included more highly in search results — not separately to the side in clearly marked ads, but directly within results.
This kind of focus on short-term revenue over quality search results opened the way for Google to come in and crush the competition.
In the now infamous "Don't Be Evil" section of its IPO filing, Google came out against paid inclusion:
We will do our best to provide the most relevant and useful search results possible, independent of financial incentives. Our search results will be objective and we will not accept payment for inclusion or ranking in them.
Not anymore.
Starting soon, as Danny Sullivan at Search Engine Land reports, Google will make ads for certain kinds of products look like search results.
For instance, when you search for "Hotels in San Francisco" today, one of the listings near the top is for a Google property called "Hotel Finder." It's colored yellow — like all ads on Google's search results — and clearly marked "Comparison Ad."
Here's what it looks like:
Now, Google is changing the wording to "Sponsored" and getting rid of the yellow background. It's also rearranging the order, so the Hotel Finder appears immediately above organic search results.
Here's what it will look like:
Google told Sullivan it gets paid a lead fee (or would like to get paid) whenever you click through to book a result in the Hotel Finder.
Google has similar products with flight information and financial information.
A lot of vertical search engines like Kayak already do this. And Google isn't including paid listings in its main search engine results — at least not yet.
But it's another example of how Google is putting into action its new philosophy that "ads are just more answers," as it stated in its last annual report.

The town of Russell, Massachusetts, was originally part of Westfield. It was incorporated into a town in 1792. The railroad came through the Berkshires in 1841, and that changed the town in a visable way. The railroad gave industries access to the tremendous waterpower of the Westfield River. As a result of the location of three different paper mills, the town developed into three distinct villages, Woronoco, Russell Village, and Crescent Mills. The mills provided employment for a large number of people and made the town prosperous. Hotels like this one provided lodging for tourists that came because of the railroad.

Collison steps up recovery
West Ham's Jack Collison is looking "onwards and upwards" after making his first appearance since the Championship play-off final.
The 24-year-old has had to watch the Hammers' fine start to life back in the top flight from the sidelines due to a long-standing knee problem. Collison, who last featured for first team as they overcame Blackpool at Wembley back in May, stepped up his recovery from injury with the West Ham development squad at Norwich on Monday night.
The Wales international came through 45 minutes of the 3-1 Barclays Under-21 Premier League defeat and could not hide his delight at returning. "It was great to be back out there again," Collison told the club's official website, www.whufc.com.
"I am obviously a little bit rusty, but I have ticked a box by completing 45 minutes and hopefully it will be onwards and upwards from there.
"I loved it. It was great to be playing football again, even though it was not the best conditions out there. I thought the boys did well and were unlucky not to get a point out of it."
Collison's return is a welcome boost to injury-hit West Ham, who are without the likes of Mohamed Diame, Ricardo Vaz Te and Yossi Benayoun.
He will not, though, pinpoint a date for his first-team return, focusing instead on continuing his rehabilitation.
"I will leave that for the manager to decide," Collison said.
"I have obviously been out for quite a while so for me it is all about building up my fitness and getting that sharpness back.
"I am not sure whether the reserves will have any more games or have arranged any friendlies [before the Elite Group Stage starts in January] but I will be training more now so hopefully I can return as quickly as possible."

Good Shepherd Will Be FIRST In North America To Have Ekso with Variable Assist for Stroke Patients
Ekso's Advancement Allows Stroke Patients To Relearn Proper Gait Patterns and Weight Shifts
Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network, an Allentown, Pennsylvania-based innovator in the rehabilitation of physical and cognitive disabilities, will soon be the first health-care organization in North America to receive new Variable Assist software for the Ekso bionic exoskeleton.
The Ekso is a wearable, bionic suit, created and produced by Ekso Bionics, which enables individuals with lower extremity paralysis or weakness to stand and walk. Battery powered motors drive the legs and replace neuro-muscular function. The addition of Variable Assist now provides the ability for Good Shepherd's clinicians to augment their patients' strength by tuning the amount of power contributed to help walking efforts for either leg. Variable Assist adds to the Ekso's utility for patients with hemiparesis due to stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury or other neurological injuries or conditions.
Since 2012, Good Shepherd has used the Ekso with spinal cord injury patients, in its outpatient Neurorehabilitation Program. The new Variable Assist software will arrive at Good Shepherd on July 30, 2013, and will be an upgrade to Good Shepherd's current Ekso rehabilitation technology. In late August, Good Shepherd will receive delivery of a second Ekso bionic exoskeleton with Variable Assist for inpatient use at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital.
Many stroke patients experience hemiparesis, or partial paralysis, in a limb or limbs. The new Variable Assist software will allow Good Shepherd's stroke patients to recover more quickly and enhance their walking capabilities. Good Shepherd's therapists now have the option to assign a specific amount of power contribution (based on therapeutic goals) to augment patients' efforts, or to allow the Ekso to dynamically adjust to their needs in real time. For example, the clinician may assign a higher power contribution to produce a more naturalized gait, or less power contribution to challenge the patient's walking efforts. This encourages patients to actively contribute to their recovery process and helps the therapist challenge patients with progressive rehabilitation.
"Being the first on the continent to have Ekso with Variable Assist shows Good Shepherd's commitment to providing leading-edge rehabilitation care to our patients," says Frank Hyland, vice president, Rehabilitation, Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network. "Our therapists in our Neurorehabilitation Department have seen great success with the Ekso for spinal cord patients, and now we are certain that this technology will help our stroke patients regain function and return to their lives."
Good Shepherd was the third rehabilitation organization in the United States to receive the Ekso in spring of 2012. Since that time, more than 20 spinal cord injury patients have walked using the Ekso and have included the bionic exoskeleton in their therapy regimen. The Ekso has provided amazing progress for some of Good Shepherd's spinal cord injury patients, who are now able to walk using their own power and leg braces and crutches.

Six Twins
Mike Skelley of Carl Junction, Missouri, has had a love affair with the Mustang as long as he can remember. His father gave him the '66 hardtop (with the inline-six Sprint package) as a high school graduation present back in 1996. Together the father and son duo have repaired, replaced, or restored most of the car. Once a daily driver, the hardtop is now retired to weekend cruiser/car show duty. That's when Mike picked up the '11 V-6 as his replacement daily driver. The '11 has the V-6 Pony Package. "They are virtually the same car, 45 years apart, showing the evolution of a legend," Mike states. When Mike's 10-year-old son turns 16 Mike plans to pass the '11 along to him—like father like son.
Retirement Present
The Windveil Blue '05 Mustang GT convertible you see here was Charlie Gandiosi's retirement present to himself. The Islip, New York, resident says his GT is a multi-show winner and his pride and joy. However, having recently heard he was going to be a grandfather for the first time he couldn't resist building a custom Pony for his grandson, Jase. The Mustang ride-on was treated to a professional paintjob to match Charlie's GT, right down to the stripes and badges. Jase is only four months old, but we're sure he'll be tooling around pop-pop's yard in no time!
The Tinker Toy
Having owned a '67 Shelby GT 500 back in the '80s, Denver, North Carolina's Henry Busch felt it was time again to have another project. "I thought it would be great to get back into cars. I wanted something I could tinker with in the garage," Henry tells us. His tinkering of choice turned out to be a fairly rare '70 Mach 1. Powered by a 351 Cleveland 4V and backed by a four-speed, the Marti Report says it is just 1 of 52 with the Aqua Blue exterior and white interior. Though nice when purchased, Henry has since given the interior some TLC, including LED lighting for the gauges. "It's not a Shelby, but I'm happy with it. Nor is it a concours car, so I'm not afraid to drive it."
Just II It!
William Sanseverino of Las Vegas is no stranger to Readers' Album, or Mustangs for that matter. William bought his first, a '78 Mustang II, back in 1982. It was a dead ringer for the car Jaclyn Smith drove in Charlie's Angels (Farrah Fawcett wasn't the only Angel to drive a II). While that II was traded in 30 years ago, and a whole slew of Mustangs have held down William's garage floor since, he has always wanted another II. William recently picked up this '78 King Cobra, which is decked out with the interior upgrade package, A/C, and a slew of owner paperwork. William's King Cobra was recently honored when Ford Motor Company picked it to be part of the "Mustang Garage" timeline at the Mustang's 50th Birthday Celebration in Las Vegas.
Let us hear from you.
Please send photos with information about the car to: Readers' Album, Mustang Monthly, 1733 Alton Parkway #100, Irvine, CA 92606. Send digital images via email: email@example.com.

Revision as of 17:20, 17 July 2007
1st. "AlpenStep" / GNUstep EDM: What it is about
During FOSDEM 2007 it was felt that we need a separate GNUstep developer's meeting so that we all have the time to go through ideas, discuss, present, decide, plan future aspects without being in three places at the same time.
A thread started on the discussion list http://groups.google.de/group/gnu.gnustep.discuss/browse_frm/thread/852d2f0686d1e64e/cf6d877685630896 shows a lot of interest in such a meeting.
So, let's make nails with heads and have GSFun, GSHack and maybe GSHike!
to be defined
- St-Gervais les Bains (Bettex) - chalet up to 12 persons
- near Bergamo - location to be defined by requirements
- Sarentino - to be verified
- Freiburg area
- Switzerland (Emmental?)
- Switzerland CH-1923 Les Marécottes
We hope that we can keep accomodation cost low.
To reduce travel cost, we can try to do car sharing.
A lot of sponsorship for accommodation support for students and other participants who have demand would be very welcome!
Weekend in September
something like Sat 15:00 - Sun 15:00
like 31 August / 1 September (Saturday) / 2 September (Sunday)
Everybody who thinks he/she can contribute to the development of GNUstep is welcome!
