Entropy decrease in disorder[edit]
An example in nature would be helpful to understanding this concept better: "Statistical mechanics demonstrates that entropy is governed by probability, thus allowing for a decrease in disorder even in a closed system. Although this is possible, such an event has a small probability of occurring, making it unlikely. Even if such an event were to occur, it would result in a transient decrease that would affect only a limited number of particles in the system." Can someone give an example?GeeBIGS (talk) 03:36, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- It is possible, in a glass of water with food coloring in it, for the food coloring to spontaneously congregate into a blob, but it is extremely unlikely. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 03:41, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
This says it would only affect a limited # of particles, but the example you gave seems like alot more than that. How small is the probabilityGeeBIGS (talk) 03:44, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- It is far more likely to affect only a tiny number of particles than to affect the whole shebang. That is what they mean by "only affects limited # of particles", because the probability is even more vastly tinier that all the particles would be affected. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 04:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- It's extremely difficult to calculate for even remotely realistic systems. Say you take two ideal gases in a box, say 1000 particles of each. There is a chance of 1 in 5x10601 that at a given moment, the two gases will evenly divide such that you could cut the box in half and have only one gas in each half. For realistic systems, you have far more particles, but also the particles interact with eachother in meaningful and often density-dependent ways, which complicates the calculations tremendously. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:52, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Also, how does a transient decrease count if the ultimate disorder eventually wins?GeeBIGS (talk) 03:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- The argument that disorder always increases is based on statistical reasoning. As I showed, even for a relatively puny number of particles in a closed and isolated environment, the chance of spontaneously reaching a highly ordered system is astronomically small. Disorder is deemed to always "win" because anything else is just extraordinarily unlikely. And I'm not talking "Cubs winning the World Series" levels of unlikely, but a monkey typing the complete works of Shakespeare without typos unlikely. That box I mentioned, You can spend your entire life staring at it, and it will never appear as ordered as in the example I calculated (most likely). So in summary, there is no rule that disorder must win. It just always does. Just like the Cubs always lose, and the monkeys pretty much hit the "s" key and poop on everything.

At equilibrium entropy will fluctuate (by an undetectable amount) presumably half the time up and half the time down. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 13:09, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Fluctuation theorem. Count Iblis (talk) 15:27, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Spend some time watching clouds. On a day with an unstable atmosphere, when you expect you should see large billowy cumulous clouds, you will occasionally see massive updrafts, lateral stratus clouds, or other indicators of laminar flow, indicating that local volumes are not convecting turbulently. In those local regions, we could say that the entropy is lower than in the surrounding, mixing air. Convection in general provides a great insight into the delicate balance between pure randomness and structure. If you enjoy analyzing things numerically, you can look at the empirical laws we use to model convective instability - like a Rayleigh-Taylor instability model. Nimur (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Who is the Oldest Living African-American Man Right Now?[edit]
Shelby Harris died today, so I'm not sure who the oldest living African-American man is right now. And for the record, I posted this here because gerontology and supercentenarians are a part of scientific research. Futurist110 (talk) 03:53, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Howard Hall maybe. According to the list of supercentenarians from the United States, his status is unverified. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:43, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Were Any Verified Male Supercentenarians Jewish?[edit]
I don't think any of them were Jewish, but I don't know for sure. Futurist110 (talk) 03:53, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Depends on what you'll consider a source. I would say that there are a few in the Bible, but your user page lists you as an atheist so that's irrelevant!
- I did find one Jewish suprecentenarian in this Yahoo article, Helen Reichert. She was 108 in 2010, so if she's still alive she'd be 110.

Helen Reichert died almost a year ago at age 109 years and 10.5 months. And Yes, as Whoop whoop pull up said, I'm only interested in verified male Jewish supercentenarians for the purposes of this question. I know that there already were several verified female Jewish supercentenarians, and there is one alive right now in the form of Evelyn Kozak (born 1899).
I looked at the list of all the verified male supercentenarians throughout history (there are almost 150 of them in total) and I think that Henry Hartmann (1894-2005) might have been the only one who could have been Jewish. Of course, I'm not sure if he was Jewish either and none of the other verified male SCs have Jewish last names, and thus they almost certainly weren't Jewish considering that intermarriage among Jews and non-Jews was very or even extremely rare 110+ years ago. Futurist110 (talk) 05:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Alexander Imich is categorized as a Jew and is still around at 109. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Yes, but he's not 110 yet (and unfortunately we don't know if he will reach 110--health can deteriorate very quickly at his age). Were there any verified Jewish men throughout history that have already reached 110? Futurist110 (talk) 05:33, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Is this claim about the scarcity of intermarriage 110+ years ago accurate, and what source based upon and what definition of Jewishness? I would think it's possibly true, but I don't know and suspect it is not accurate to say 'rare' (with what is normally considered the definition, of having ones mother Jewish). Anywhere that conversion was successfully 'encouraged' during parents' or own lifetimes would argue against the supposition (if reasonably flexible on a definition, allowing a person to both be and not be Jewish for some time period), would it not?188.8.131.52 (talk) 13:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

- There are none. Futurist110 (talk) 08:01, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Just because there are none on that list doesn't mean that none exist, or have every existed. The absense of evidence is not the evidence of absence. A 110-year old Jewish male just may have not attracted notice. It doesn't mean there are none ever. --Jayron32 04:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- There might have been some Jewish man out there who turned 110, but if there was one he wasn't verified due to a lack of documents. I checked the names of all 140+ verified male SCs and none of those names appeared Jewish. As for my definition of Jewishness, I meant by ethnicity, not religion. There was some intermarriage in Western Europe, but most Jews in the world 110+ years ago lived in Eastern Europe, where most of them lived in their own areas and villages. Thus, most Eastern European Jews did not really begin to intermarry on a large scale until the Russian Revolution and beyond. The Russian Revolution was 95 years ago, so obviously no verified SCs so far were born before it. Also, here's a story from personal experience, though I'm sure a lot of Jews in Eastern Europe had the same story. Intermarriage among my Jewish ancestors and relatives was non-existent (to my knowledge) before the 1930s (if my knowledge about my great-grandma's Jewish ancestry is correct) and was very rare until the 1950s, when my Jewish grandpas and other Jewish relatives in Russia began marrying locals due to the Jewish population losses of the Holocaust and due to moving to areas of the USSR with few Jews in them.

Hyperdimensional Three-Jet Events[edit]
This is really not "a" question but a string of questions revolving around the same general concept.
I formulated this questions when evaluating the possibility of the presence of extra spacial microdimensions (microscopic dimensions) explaining the relative weakness of gravity when compared to the other fundamental forces. During this train of thought I had to reason out exactly why the gravitational force would be the only one present in the hyperdimensional geometry. Why would the other fundamental forces be absent from the extra space. I then began to eliminate things after evaluating why the graviton would even be permitted to enter that space in the first place. The gravitons would be able to enter microdimensions because they have no volume. This can be taken as having a volume that equals 0, which is, of course, lower than the size of microdimensions, which means that they can fit into these microdimensions. Then I looked at photons. They too have no volume. "Why can't they pass into the microdimensions?" I asked myself. Then I thought of how they have wavelength which effectively limits what they are able to probe. I imagined that photons would need an energy level high enough to create ridiculously small wavelengths, in order to fit into microdimensional space. If microdimensional space is assumed to be about planck length, a photon capable of prying into microdimensional space would have to have 12.3 billion joules. As photons of this energy level are unimaginable and probably never emitted under any ordinary circumstances, the strength of electromagnetism is not hindered. Then I arrived at the W and Z bosons and, of course, eliminated their presence in microdimensional space simply through thinking that their volume is probably too large to interact with such geometry. And then I arrived at the gluon. They have neither volume nor wavelength thus there should be absolutely no parameters limiting the gluons themselves from interacting with the hyperdimensional space. But in order to explain the fact the the strong interaction is not hindered greatly I considered the fact that under ordinary circumstances no gluons are free. They are all bound to the quarks that the glue together. And as no quarks are small enough to fit into the microdimensions, one could reason that under the usual circumstances gluons would never stray into a microdimensional divergence. Then I remembered Three-Jet events. Which apparently detected freed gluons. This got me thinking about a potential way to provide more evidence toward the existence of microdimensions. I realized that during these Three-Jet Events, a free gluon might be able to stray off into microdimensional space and become unobservable to us. Thus I have a string of questions to validate/invalidate the plausibility of this hypothesis.
1. In Three-Jet Events does the gluon jet always bisect the vertical angle of the quark angle?
If so, the gluon jets would never be able to diverge from us in the microdimensions.
2. Have there ever been any circumstances in which the conditions for a Three-Jet Event are met but a gluon jet does not occur?
If so some of the gluons might be straying into the extra dimensions.
3. What is the probability of a Three-Jet Event not occurring when the conditions for one are met?
Also feel free to evaluate my evaluation. Doctor Condensate (talk) 07:33, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- If something has zero volume then even in an expanding universe it maintains the same proportion to the universe as time passes.22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- I find the entire theory suspicious because not only does everything have a wavelength, there is no obvious way to define a particle's volume in quantum physics, and the common practice is to declare that it is zero, the width of a dirac delta. Someguy1221 (talk) 19:40, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- If something has zero volume then even in an expanding universe it maintains the same proportion to the universe as time passes.220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Darn. So what is it exactly that causes only gravitons to venture into microdimensional divergence? Why don't the other gauge bosons do the same, thus causing all of the fundamental forces to be weakened? Or is it perhaps that most gravitons have wavelengths small enough to enter microdimensional space? Or is this one of the as of yet unresolved questions regarding string/M theory? And I am pretty certain that the gauge bosons other than the W and Z bosons have no volume (just as they have no mass). I do know that photons have no volume. Doctor Condensate (talk) 07:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- As far as I know, the only thing we know of that sets gravitons apart is that A) They are the only fundamental spin-2 particles and B) according to string theory, they are the only sort-of-observed particles that exist as closed strings. You could hypothesize that all open strings in the universe are bound at one end to the hypersurface of a 4brane, and that gravitons are uniquely unbound in this manner. You will be well into the realm of purely theoretical physics, but you could run with that hypothesis. It would take at least 8 years of college and graduate mathematics training to be able to express your theory in a way that other physicists would bother listening to you, though. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- coul you be more specific with your suspicion?GeeBIGS (talk) 06:17, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- I can't accept his conclusions when I reject his assumptions. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:36, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Models like this are called large extra dimension models. As far as I know they're all based on string theory and what makes the graviton special is that it's the only closed string (as Someguy1221 already said). The extra dimensions need to be much larger than the Planck scale in order to account for the weakness of gravity.
- All of the fundamental standard model particles, whether they have mass or not, are "pointlike" in a certain sense. You shouldn't assume that more massive particles are larger. In fact there's an inverse relationship between mass/energy and size in particle physics: higher energies are associated with smaller distances (and the Planck energy is associated with Planck-scale physics).
- The general answer to the question "has the LHC seen any anomalous events that hint at new physics?" is "no", unfortunately. -- BenRG (talk) 14:29, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
First off, thank you for your responses. So particles that have no mass can have volume? And I saw an inquiry to a physicist who explained that photons have no volume. In seeing that photons don't have volume, I assumed that all other massless particles lack volume. It's unfortunate to hear that no new anomalous events have appeared. Well, at least they discovered a particle consistent with the Higg's Boson. At any rate, that's pretty cool. So In order for gravitons to be expended hyperdimensionally the extra dimensions through which it propagates must be much larger than planck length? And what is the smallest possible size for a large extra dimension? Also I have been reading that some results of the LHC have severely constrained theories with large extra dimensions. In exactly what way are they constrained? Doctor Condensate (talk) 04:05, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Superbig Bang Theory ?[edit]
There is a multiverse theory that has cosmic expansion occurring not only within our own universe, but also between our universe and all the others. Running the clock backwards, doesn't this again mean that at one time all those universes must have been contained together within a combined singularity ? StuRat (talk) 07:58, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- It would depend on the details of the theory. I've never heard of an expanding multiverse. The simplest way I can imagine having an expanding multiverse would be with a bubble universe type theory. In other kinds of multiverse theories, it can be difficult to define what it would mean for it to expand. Expansion doesn't necessarily imply there was an initial singularity - you could have a steady state theory type thing going on with new universes being continually created to fill in the gaps. --Tango (talk) 12:10, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Apparently the expanding multiverse theory is called Eternal inflation. StuRat (talk) 18:26, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ekpyrotic cosmology seems to fit the bill of your original question, too, but allows for both steady state and cyclic behaviors, and combinations of both. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 22:12, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Another question[edit]
Do two parallel rays of light gradually diverge due to the expansion of the universe? --22.214.171.124 (talk) 13:25, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- I think that depends on the Shape of the Universe and, in particular, whether it has positive, negative or zero curvature. Positive curvature would mean they converge, negative would mean they diverge and zero would mean they remain at a constant distance. --Tango (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- The "shape of the universe" article is talking about spatial curvature at a particular cosmological time, while what matters here is spacetime curvature overall. In a spatially flat universe I think the distance between the rays will just scale with the scale factor—so they will separate in a flat eternally expanding universe (as ours seems to be), though they will always be parallel at any given time. This applies only if the rays are a billion light years apart or more in the present era, and never pass close to any concentrations of matter. Otherwise local effects will dominate. -- BenRG (talk) 22:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Follow-up question[edit]
So could that provide a way to test hypotheses about the shape of the universe? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. See perhaps tests of general relativity. Imagine doing this here on Earth: Drive 8000 miles, turn 90 degrees to your right, drive another 8000 miles, turn 90 degrees to your right, and then drive a final 8000 miles to return to your starting position. You have just formed an equilateral triangle with three 90 degree angles, which is impossible on a flat plane. What you will have shown is that the actual geometry of the Earth's surface is inconsistent with its being flat. So what you just suggested above is very well a test of this. As on Earth, if you had two people start from the equator and head north in what appear to be parallel trajectories, they will meet at the North pole, which is also inconsistent with a flat plane. Astronomers have long hoped to see something like that, some phenomenon out in space that shows the universe isn't flat (or rather, the equivalent of flat but in 3 dimensions). But except in the vicinity of a massive object, space seems pretty darn flat. As for the experiment itself, the result depends on: A) the rate of expansion; B) the shape of the universe; and C) the interaction between the light beams, if any. Someguy1221 (talk) 23:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Note that this experiment can't be done, even in principle, at cosmological scales because of the continuing expansion of the universe. All of our knowledge of the universe at cosmological scales is based on events from our own past light cone, which is nowhere close to flat at scales of billions of (light) years (that is, it's nowhere close to resembling a light cone from special relativity). It's not straightforward to work out the spatial curvature from that evidence. -- BenRG (talk) 22:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Why has Pluto a different orbit?[edit]
OsmanRF34 (talk) 13:51, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Please see Pluto#Orbit_and_rotation. SemanticMantis (talk) 14:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Different from what? As the recent transit of Venus shows, the other planets may have less eccentric orbits than Pluto, but they don't all line up on the same orbital plane either. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Is shooting star is faster than a comet?[edit]
OsmanRF34 (talk) 13:52, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- It doesn't. A meteorite is just closer. Perhaps you have fallen for the Television version which for some reason is often shown slowly moving across the sky while the characters watch. Real comets move like planets do. Rmhermen (talk) 14:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- meteoroid says " speed may reach about 44 miles per second (71 kilometers per second). Meteoroids moving through the earth's orbital space average about 20 km/s."
- comet says they have "velocities of the same order as the relative velocities of stars near the Sun (a few tens of kilometres per second)."
- I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these figures, but this would lead me to believe that the comparison in question will depend strongly on when the velocity is calculated, for which specific object, and where it is. SemanticMantis (talk) 14:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Any idea what those speeds are relative to? I would imagine that meteors are given relative to Earth, but comets may be given relative to the sun. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:56, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- meteor showers are predominantly the debris of comets, still traveling in the same orbital paths as the comets that created them. As such, I think it's fair to say that meteors and comets travel at exactly the same speed (with the usual caveats of "well, of course the universe varies"). — Lomn 15:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC) Note particularly that
- On average, shooting stars are slower, as their entry into Earth's atmosphere reduces their speed, eventually down to zero. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:40, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Before hitting atmosphere, it has fallen into Earth's gravity well and thus picked up kinetic energy. —Tamfang (talk) 00:52, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- But if meteoroids were travelling at exactly the same speed as their parent comets, wouldn't they still be attached the parent comets (i.e., part of the tail)? For them to have become separated from the comet in the first place, there had to have been some kind of loss of kinetic energy, though I'm not exactly sure what would have caused it. Drag of some sort, I would think. Possibly caused by water vapor? Evanh2008 (talk|contribs) 01:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Or a gain of kinetic energy. Or no change in net kinetic energy, just a change of direction. I think comets are usually broken up by tidal forces. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, Meteor_shower#The_origin_of_meteoroid_streams gives a good description of how the meteroids get separated from the comet's body. Drag from water vapor does come in to it too. There is usually quite a time delay from when they first separate and when they finally impact Earth though, so the speed may vary substantially. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 02:02, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- It seems like tidal forces should play a significant role, though. Evidently there are also some meteor showers which arise from asteroids, not comets. Given the low water content of most asteroids, I would have to assume that tidal forces (most likely from the sun) would be the key factor there. Evanh2008 (talk|contribs) 02:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

- A meteorite looks faster because it streaks across the sky, whereas a comet just kind of hangs there, moving extremely slowly from our perspective. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Bodies in the same orbit have the same speed at the same distance from the sun. If a meteoroid is in substantially the same orbit as its parent body it will be moving at substantially the same speed as the parent body when crossing Earth's orbit. μηδείς (talk) 02:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think many meteoroids actually are in the same orbit as their parent bodies, though. It seems likely that they would have drifted over time from their original location, which would be the reason none of the comets which left their debris behind are projected to collide with Earth (which they most likely would, if they were in the same orbit as their meteoroid ejecta). And the correlation between orbit radius and velocity only holds true for stable orbits, does it not? In other words, if a loss in kinetic energy caused the orbit of a sun-orbiting meteoroid to become unstable (degrading), it would necessarily change orbital vector relative to its parent object, and vice-versa. Given the fact that they have in fact become separated from their parent bodies, it seems highly unlikely to me that any meteoroid streams are still in the same orbit as said bodies. Evanh2008 (talk|contribs) 03:16, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- The meteoroid streams are most definitely still in pretty much the same orbit as the parent comets. It's called the meteoroid trail and it's mentioned in the article that I linked to above. Though once they actually get into the Earth's atmosphere, they may have been perturbed by graviational interaction with other bodies that can change their speeds. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:43, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- That's also why many showers are regular, periodic occurrences. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:44, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think many meteoroids actually are in the same orbit as their parent bodies, though. It seems likely that they would have drifted over time from their original location, which would be the reason none of the comets which left their debris behind are projected to collide with Earth (which they most likely would, if they were in the same orbit as their meteoroid ejecta). And the correlation between orbit radius and velocity only holds true for stable orbits, does it not? In other words, if a loss in kinetic energy caused the orbit of a sun-orbiting meteoroid to become unstable (degrading), it would necessarily change orbital vector relative to its parent object, and vice-versa. Given the fact that they have in fact become separated from their parent bodies, it seems highly unlikely to me that any meteoroid streams are still in the same orbit as said bodies. Evanh2008 (talk|contribs) 03:16, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Bodies in the same orbit have the same speed at the same distance from the sun. If a meteoroid is in substantially the same orbit as its parent body it will be moving at substantially the same speed as the parent body when crossing Earth's orbit. μηδείς (talk) 02:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

using dialysis in cooking[edit]
I'm trying to locate how-to guides on using selective semi-permeable membranes to remove excess sweetness or saltiness from foods. Sometimes, I want to add more of a flavor or ingredient, but the existing saltiness or sugar in that ingredient (fish sauce, beef bouillon, etc.) precludes me from adding more (and dilution isn't practical). Unfortunately, Google is being retarded and returns me recipes for kidney dialysis patients instead. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:06, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- To remove overspicing or over salting from food, drop a peeled potato in. The potato will absorb the excess and can be removed when tender. Is that what you're after? --TammyMoet (talk) 15:37, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think dialysis will do what you're after. The difficulty is the sugar and salt molecules you wish to remove are about the same size as the flavor molecules you want to add more of. The trick with dialysis is to have a membrane which is permeable to the item you wish to cross, but not permeable to those that you don't wish. The easiest way to do this is by having microholes in the membrane. Things that are smaller than the holes (e.g. waste products in the blood) can cross, and big stuff (e.g blood cells and plasma proteins) stays put. But typical membranes aren't all that specific in the *type* of molecule that can cross - anything below the size cutoff goes through. (Note that while there are membranes that are specific for certain molecular properties, it's highly unlikely you'll find one that's sugar/salt permeable but flavor impermeable.) That's why they don't use plain water for kidney dialysis - you need special solutions with the right balance of salts, etc. on the other side, otherwise you'd mess up the electrolyte balance. Likewise for your use case. Small flavoring molecules would pass through the membrane just like the sugar and salt you're trying to remove. You would need to have a solution with the same concentration of flavor molecules (but not the sugar or salt) on the other side to avoid diluting out the flavor. -- 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:37, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- If you can tell us which foods you are trying to desalt or desweeten, we may be able to come up with specific suggestions. Personally, I find some way to dilute excess saltiness and sugar works in just about anything. For example, as mentioned above, some bland potatoes often work, although I leave mine in the finished dish. For other foods, like olives, I will drain, soak in fresh water, then drain again. StuRat (talk) 17:54, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- The reason that you can't find what you're looking for is because dialysis refers specifically to removing waste from blood. The terms you ought to be searching under are microfiltration and reverse osmosis, but don't bother, what you're talking about isn't really possible. While you probably could remove salt with a semipermeable membrane in a procedure analagous to dialysis, once you start getting into small organic molecules like sugar, they're going to be too close in size to the rest of the matrix that you actually want to keep. Theoretically, you could remove specific species using an ion-exchange resin, but you would need to know what constituents there are and specifically which ones you want to remove, and even then there will almost certainly be no perfect solution that removes the things you don't want keeps the things you do. The other point is that there are so many chemcial components in something like fish sauce that there would be plenty of things that would likely stick to membranes or otherwise wreck the equipment you're using, and it's also all generally pretty expensive stuff. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:49, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Um, "The reason that you can't find what you're looking for is because dialysis refers specifically to removing waste from blood." that's actually entirely incorrect. There are numerous dialysis membranes made specifically for in vitro use, ie removing low MW or small molecule impurities or contaminants from protein or polymer solutions. Yes, you can do that with filters, but it's certainly not the only way. (+)H3N-Protein\Chemist-CO2(-) 21:12, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- True. I was thinking of the medical term as opposed to the word as used by biochemists. Anyway, I already mentioned essentially that technique, but I just refered to it as "a procedure analagous to dialysis" using a semipermeable membrane. The OP's google searches no doubt failed to return the information he was looking for because the medical term is used far more frequently. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Actually micro- and ultrafiltration are used in the food industry to separate components. Whey protein can be separated form the carbohydrates and salt in whey with microfiltration. Also Kikkoman claims their lower sodium soy sauce is brewed the same way as the original, and the sodium is extracted later, but they don't say how. Your best bet is to search online for specialty products that cater to people on sodium-restricted diets. I doubt you'll find fish sauce, but you should be able to find a bouillon substitute. Jerk182 (talk) 23:02, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
hunting in county parks[edit]
Where I live, there is an extremely large County Park that is at least 1000 acres. I called the state and they said that according to them it was legal to hunt in any area of public land, including parks, however, there may be local regulations against it. I called the local park and they said hunting was not allowed there, but they didn't seem to know if there were any criminal laws that would be broken by hunting their. So my question is, if one did hunt their would they be breaking any criminal laws and if so, what would likely be the law?--188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:42, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Assuming you are in Arizona then this site is useful. If you look down a bit you'll see under vandalism that it is illegal to harm any plant or animal. I guess you can hunt them gently but don't hurt them. Caesar's Daddy (talk) 16:06, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- We can't give legal advice, but I think it is safe to point you to http://www.azgfd.gov/regs/mainregs.pdf, an online version of the Arizona hunting and trapping regulations. Looie496 (talk) 18:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Ricky Hatton on Senchenko Bout: If I Lose I Will Quit!
By Kevin Francis, courtesy of The Daily Star
RICKY Hatton will hang up his gloves for good if he fails in his comeback fight in front of his adoring fans tomorrow night.
Hatton ends a ring exile of more than three years, when he meets Vyacheslav Senchenko, 35, in a welterweight contest at the Manchester Arena.
And the 34-year-old says that defeat will sound the final bell on his career, insisting: "I will quit if I lose."
Hatton returns from retirement for the clash in front of a sell-out 20,000 crowd but says that only victory will give him the impetus to carry on.
He said: "I want another world title – but if I lose I know I can get up on Sunday morning and say I gave it my best shot.
"I can tell myself that I haven't got it any more in the ring and that I should go and be the best promoter and trainer I can be.
"But thoughts of defeat are the furthest thing from my mind. I feel confident and relaxed."
Hatton is making his comeback following a battle to overcome suicidal tendencies, after his life out of the ring hit a downward spiral.
He said: "I have suffered from depression but right now I feel so much more relaxed and comfortable, with a spring in my step."
Hatton's life went out of control following his horror KO at the hands of Manny Pacquiao in May 2009.
That defeat, and a reversal against Floyd Mayweather Jr, have been the only two losses in Hatton's career.
THE Hatton-Senchenko fight will be screened live tomorrow night on Primetime (ch498 on Sky).

The Night Owls are Vassar's oldest a cappella group and the United States' oldest continuous all-women's a cappella group.
According to legend, the Night Owls were born during the polio epidemic of 1942, when the entire student community was quarantined. No one was allowed to leave her dorm except to attend classes. Socials were cancelled, tea in the Rose Parlor was abandoned – Vassar traditions were foregone. In the midst of all this turmoil, sixteen intrepid young women threw caution to the wind. Dressed in black, they broke out of their dorms and met secretly in the basement of the library where they sang late into the night. Now, almost 70 years later, we continue to sing in all black in honor of our sixteen founding members. From traditional jazz classics to rock, 80s pop, and R&B, our repertoire continues to evolve while retaining our roots.* We hope that years from now there will still be Night Owls – dressed in black and singing their hearts out.
*Our influences include Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Janis Joplin, Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell, Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, and Adele.

Later that day after talking to my mother about the situation we decided to go down to the Sunbelt Credit office and try to talk to someone there since the lady on the phone was no help at all. When we got there I explained the situation to the employee who looked my name up and said I owe them money. I kept explaining that I did not take out a loan with them. He insisted that it had to of been me and there is no possible way anyone else could have taken a loan out in my name. After arguing for a good 15 minutes, he finally got his manager who pulled my file. They had my drivers license number, birthdate and social security number so they kept insisting that it was me who took the loan out. My mother and I kept trying to look at the paperwork in their file, but they kept snatching it out of our hands. We did notice that not only did they have an incorrect address listed for me, which I've never lived at nor do I even know where it is located, but they also have an incorrect phone number listed for me. They finally showed me the signature on the loan paperwork that they are claiming to be mine but they have two different signatures for me, neither of which match the actual way I sign my name. But still they were adamant that it was me who took the loan out and there is no possible way it could be identity theft or fraud.
Basically the whole hour we were in their office they were calling me and my mother a liar and everytime we tried to tell them that the signatures, phone number and address they have listed are incorrect they completely ignored us or just said it is not possible. They refuse to release the lien on my car and said the only way they will release it is when I sell my car I have to take $575 of the money I get from the sale of my car and bring it to them immediately and then they will release the lien. I told them I was going to file a police report for identity theft and they laughed at me and said since the loan was from almost 6 years ago I'd be wasting my time because there is no way the police can do anything for me and I'll still be responsible to pay the balance. So now I am out almost $600 for a loan I never took out because they claim there is no possible way this is a case of fraud or identity theft. I really don't know anything I could do to remedy the situation except pay the money and just put it behind me. Even though the thought of coughing up $575 to this awful company makes me sick to my stomach. These people were unbelievably rude and unprofessional and I cannot understand how a business can continue to operate while treating people like that.

Can you identify the ornamental trees on North Fifth Street as you approach East California Street in Jacksonville? They are evergreen and have red berries in the winter. I'd love to plant one in my yard.
— Sydney K., Jacksonville
There are a lot of trees on that street, Sydney. We sent out one of our crack Since You Asked tree experts to take photos of all the trees on Fifth. We found fruit trees, almond trees and all manner of trees in the vicinity, so we were a little flummoxed by your question.
We turned to a real expert, Medford City Arborist Bill Harrington, who's not necessarily an expert on Jacksonville, but does know his trees.
He carefully reviewed each photo taken by our skilled cameraman, when the "aha" moment came to him. "My suspicion is it's a Portugese laurel," he said.
The tree's Latin name is Prunus Lusitanica, by the way.
Harrington said the Portugese laurel, which is related to the English laurel, can be either a well-behaved bush or tree, depending on how you prune.
"It can provide a good border, or hedge," he said.
Originally from Spain and Portugal, the tree has fragrant, creamy-colored flowers in the spring with bright red to purple berries in the fall and winter.
The tree loves full sun, but will tolerate shade and grows to a height of 10 to 20 feet, he said.
Before planting, Harrington suggests you contact a nurseryman for more information, particularly whether you want the Portugese laurel to grow as a bush or a tree.
"It's very urban tolerant, and it will take severe pruning," Harrington said.
Send questions to "Since You Asked," Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O. Box 1108, Medford, OR 97501; by fax to 541-776-4376; or by e-mail to email@example.com. We're sorry, but the volume of questions received prevents us from answering all of them.

SUNAPEE, N.H. (AP) — Police say a Rhode Island man is charged with attacking a New Hampshire taxi driver and stealing his cab.
Sunapee police say 30-year-old John Kusinski of Providence, R.I., threatened to kill and tried to strangle the driver Tuesday night.
Authorities tell WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/1fhmkcM ) that the driver drove into the side of a convenience store during the struggle to try to get help. Police say he was able to escape and ran inside for help.
Authorities say Kusinski, who was picked up in Manchester, drove away in the cab and was arrested a short time later.
He's charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, assault and theft.
It was not immediately known if he was being represented by a lawyer.

But when I click the "Head over and upgrade" link and then try to use the Update Automatically, it fails:
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/nightly-builds/wordpress-2.8.4-latest.zip.
Download failed.: Not Found
Installation Failed
Suggestions? It SAYS there's a new version, but then won't update... did I do something wrong or fail to do some extra step?

ATLANTA (AP) -- A new government study finds people who sleep fewer than six hours a night -- or more than nine -- are more likely to be obese. The research is one of the largest to show a link between irregular sleep and big bellies.
The study, released today, also linked light sleepers to higher smoking rates, less physical activity and more alcohol use.
Dr. Ron Kramer, a Colorado physician and a spokesman for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, said the research adds weight to a stream of studies that have found obesity and other health problems in those who don't get proper shuteye.
The study was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics and is based on door-to-door surveys of 87,000 U.S. adults from 2004 through 2006.

and his was very abrupt.
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Hello everyone. I'm Kevin Wei. I've just recently joined Xinyuan as the CFO in September and I would like to thank you for joining our call today."
Well, Mr. Wei stayed only three month duration of time! September, October and November! I think he did not work out or he did not like the job! The previous CFO - Tom Gurnee was more trustworthy and was at the company for four years?
I hope XIN can get another "white" guy in as CFO!
Sentiment: Hold
Sometimes one gets his hand caught in the cookie jar. It could be simply a dubious petty cash charge. Or he could have realized he was well in over his head.
Maybe they fired him so they could hire another white guy as CFO. jujujujujujujujujujujujuju
He wasn't fired, he quit, and I think he was hand picked by Gurnee.

Swede softball team pours it on at the end
Gothenburg girls defeat McCook 9-1.
Gothenburg avenged an earlier loss by defeating McCook 9-1 in a game that ended in the sixth inning Thursday.
McCook scored its only run in the second inning by combining a walk, a sacrifice bunt, a Swede error and a single.
Gothenburg answered in the bottom of the second to tie it up at 1-1.
Vanessa Linegar led off the second with a double to the left-center gap. Pinch runner Hanna Wolf moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and then scored on a ground out by Alisha Ballmer.
Freshman Megan Ruppert, who led the Bison with two doubles, was stranded at second and third. McCook put just one other runner at second base, but that opportunity ended with an infield fly out to Brittyn Munster at second.
The Swedes opened up a 3-1 lead in the fifth inning without the benefit of a hit. Errors allowed both KaTrina Winter and Ali Abramson to reach base. Winter raced home on a wild pitch. Abramson followed on Shelby Eggleston's sacrifice fly to centerfield.
Four singles powered Gothenburg's six-run rally that ended the game early during the sixth inning.
Bre Messersmith started on the mound and held McCook to two hits in five innings of action. Amanda Barkmeier threw the final inning in relief.

This cruise is a must for anyone visiting Sydney. It is a great opportunity to get pictures of the opera house and the bridge and it is a very enjoyable hour tour of the harbor. We took the harbor cruise the day after we used the hop on hop off bus through Sydney and out to Bondi Beach. This is the correct order. The bus tour gives you the feel of the city and then the cruise helps you to see the same thing from a different perspective. The result was feeling like I knew Sydney better than I did on past trips.

Prussing imposes limits on Canopy Club during Unofficial
URBANA — Mayor Laurel Prussing has issued an emergency order for Unofficial St. Patrick's Day, but hers is more limited in scope than the one Champaign Mayor Don Gerard issued last week.
Urbana typically has far fewer problems at bars on Unofficial St. Patrick's Day than Champaign, as it has far fewer campus bars. Prussing's order is confined to a two-block section of campus, which in reality includes only one bar: The Canopy Club at 708 S. Goodwin Ave.
Prussing, who also acts as the city's liquor commissioner, has ordered that the bar not serve alcohol before 11 a.m. on March 7. It may not serve pitchers of alcohol at all on March 7, and it cannot serve drinks in glass or metal containers.
The bar will not be allowed to permit entry to anyone under 21 years old before 9 p.m. on March 7. Typically, the entry age at The Canopy Club is 18. After 9 p.m., 18- to 20-year-olds may be allowed in.
Unofficial St. Patrick's Day is a daylong drinking event held each year by University of Illinois students. It is a substitute for the real St. Patrick's Day, since students typically are on spring break and away from campus on March 17.

Downsizing: Do You Dare?
A few years ago, my husband Logan and I decided to move into a smaller home. It might seem counter-intuitive, but downsizing can often be a smart choice, freeing you to live your life without clutter or a mortgage that stretches your budget to extremes.
Believe it or not, Logan was the one who brought up the idea of downsizing. At the time, I was working in the investment management industry and was extremely unhappy. I wanted to go back to school and start a new career in the social service sector, but we were stuck and couldn't figure out why. We felt stuck because we didn't have enough time or money to follow our passions.
Logan said, "Why don't we try moving into a one bedroom apartment to save money? Then we can use the money saved towards whatever we want, like education for a new career or a house in the future?"
With my hands on my hips and a snarky look on my face, I replied: "We can't fit into a one bedroom, we have too much stuff!"
But after giving it some thought, I finally agreed that downsizing was the right path for us. If you're struggling with a similar dilemma, consider the questions below:
1. Communicate. Talk about all the costs and benefits of downsizing together and make your intentions known so there is no room for assumptions. In my experience, communication is key to any successful relationship. While you're talking make a pro/con list together and ask each other a lot of "why" questions, like:
- Why do you need to keep a particular item?
- Why not try something new?
- Why are you feeling so freaked out by this idea?
2. Read inspiring books. While I was trying to decide whether or not downsizing was the right option I read a number of life changing books, including The Culture of Make Believe and Your Money or Your Life. Reading these books convinced me that downsizing was the best action to take.
3. Talk about the financial benefits of downsizing your abode and what you can do with the money you save. Crunch the numbers with your partner to find out how much money you can save by living in a smaller place with less stuff. With greater savings comes freedom and flexibility to make choices.
4. Remember, you can always move. While change is scary, it's always good to experiment to try new things. And if you don't like your new living situation, you can always move.
5. Compromise. If you don't want to sell your house or commit to a new lease, try treating your current place like a smaller home. For example, I didn't believe we could fit into a small one-bedroom apartment. So we did a test run by clearing out all the stuff in the guest bedroom and locking the door. Basically, we treated our two-bedroom apartment as a one-bedroom apartment for a few months. By taking that step, I was convinced we could start going smaller and smaller.
6. Start small. Remember you don't have to declutter your whole house over night. Set manageable goals based on your life circumstance. When I started to simplify my life, I felt like I was in a competition. I kept looking at what other people were doing, in both blogs and books, and I tried to model those folks. There is nothing wrong with modeling and I learned a lot of valuable tips through reading and research. However, I finally realized that I had to start small, with one shelf at a time.
7. Take action! Now it's time to take action. Keep talking to your partner about the benefits of downsizing and start the decluttering process.
Rightly said Tammy, its inspired me to consider downsizing. It truly can sometimes prove beneficial, in saving money and resources. Also like you mentioned, the money saved could be put to some better and much needed use such as home improvement. Have been wanting to install hurricane proofing in my home from sometime. Now finally can take measures to put impact windows and keep the house safe from storm. Much obliged for the idea.For more info, please see my review here .

Pschyic or not that is the Question
SUBMITTED: Monday, July 05, 2004POSTED: Monday, July 05, 2004
I inquired about job description and was advised it was for Ms Cleo. I was very puzzled and asked the secretary " Don't you have to be pschycic?" she laughed and stated "we have a script we go by and we pretty much will train you on what needs to be said." Thats when I handed the blank application back and advised I did not believe in scaming people and left. It was shortly thereafter that Ms Cleo was arrested. So you can believe I have no respect for these false wannabee pschycics such as the pet pschycic but thats another complaint......
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I was never interested in space science. But I learned a lot after visiting the planetarium.
