The Minds On Physics Internet Modules use the Shockwave Player plugin. Shockwave Player is freely distributed by Adobe and is available for downloading at the Adobe website. Installation of the plugin is usually a very automated process. Follow all on-screen directions until installation is complete.
In instances in which the Minds On Physics Internet Modules fails to work, the problems are almost always traced back to the Shockwave Player installation. Either the Shockwave Player fails to install, partially installs, or installs in a manner that components from previous versions interfere with the recently installed versions. During the first month of the 2011-2012 school year, the author tested the newest version of MOP with four of his classes. After explaining and demonstrating the program to his classes, he gave his first MOP assignment. Part of the instructions included: (a) Make sure the plug-in is installed. If it isn't installed, install it. (b) Be patient. If it doesn't work the first time, try it a second time. Make notes about what you did. (c) If it doesn't work on one browser, try another browser. Make notes about what browsers you tried. (d) Don't panic if it doesn't work. Come in with information (computer platform - e.g., Apple, Windows; system software version - e.g. Windows 7; internet browser that was used - Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.) and we will discuss it.
Upon returning from the weekend, informal polls indicated that the program worked flawlessly and effortlessly for approximately 60% of the students. The remaining 40% reported very mixed results. Some said they eventually were successful but had to repeat the installation process. Some said they were not able to get it to work in Explorer but were able to get it to work once they switched to Firefox. Some said that they were not able to get it to work in Firefox but were successful once they switched to Google Chrome. Some said they couldn't get to work in Safari on the Mac but were able to get it to work on Safari on Windows. From all appearances, it seemed that getting Shockwave to work was more voodoo than science. As students discussed their successes and failure, they began to talk to one another about their trouble-shooting experiences. Those who were eventually successful gave suggestions to those who were not. The author tried to provide some suggestions from his limited experience, but mostly tried to establish connections between students that had similar experiences. As the student-to-student discussions slowed down, the teacher (author) gave the same assignment - install the Shockwave Player and do the first MOP assignment.
During the next class period, only two students reported not getting the Minds On Physics Internet Modules to work. During a free moment, the teacher held short one-on-one discussions with both students and gave them the assignment again with directions to email about what messages they were receiving and when the failures were evident. Eventually, both students had success. What was most interesting is that the student who had the most (longest) difficulty had the exact same operating system and used the exact same browser that the author used. Her success eventually came when she uninstalled Shockwave and then installed it again.
There's a variety of lessons to be learned in the story above. The lessons have importance for both students who are trying to get the program to work and for teachers who are working at getting their students started with the program. The lessons are summarized by the following bullet points/
Information about troubleshooting Shockwave issues can be found on the internet. The following web pages address many of the issues in a very helpful manner.
This page from the Adobe website (makers of Shockwave) lists a variety of problems and links to pages that describe how to fix the problem. Problems associated with Windows XP systems, Mac OS X systems, Firefox browsers and Internet Explorer browsers are all addressed.
This page addresses problems associated with Google Chrome (and at times, Internet Explorer). The page discusses the annoying tendency of Shockwave to either crash or to become unresponsive during installation. The process of uninstalling and reinstalling Shockwave is described.
After installing Shockwave, some Windows users get a message of the type "Your computer must be restarted in order to complete the installation … ." Yet, restarting doesn't fix the problem. This page describes the problem and the fix.
Problems associated with interference between newly installed and previously installed Shockwave plugins are described. Uninstallers for both Mac OS and Windows can be downloaded.
Finally, it is possible that your Shockwave Player installation was successful and that the problem lies with the Minds On Physics Internet Modules. Typically, you will know the problem is a MOP problem because the modules load into the page. But to be sure, you can check your Adobe Shockwave by visiting the Test Adobe Shockwave page.
Being that Version 4 of Minds On Physics was completed re-built from ground zero, there are likely to be problems that arise associated with unforeseen and not yet discovered bugs. The space below will be used to report such bugs in the program. If a bug is discovered, report it to your teacher who will evaluate the problem and report it to the MOP coordinator. The list below describes known bugs and the current status of the solution.
If you observe any other oddities or bugs, please report the problem to your instructor who will evaluate the problem and email the MOP coordinator ([email protected]

Looking On The Bright Side
Boy, was that ever a ridiculous way to lose a ballgame tonight! In light of this latest fiasco, I thought that it would be good to point out the positives that may come out of 2013, even if this team doesn't ever get it going this year.
1. Conor Gillaspie.
The Sox acquired him for very little and Gillaspie shows a ton of promise. He is good left-handed hitter, fields well and is only 25. Gillaspie could be a White Sox mainstay at third base for years to come.
2. The Bullpen.
The Sox young bullpen is a little taxes right now, as the Sox are not scoring any runs and are losing all these close games. But Reed, Jones, Veal, Crain, Lindstrom and Santiago form the core of an excellent pen now and in the foreseeable future.
3. Keystone Combination.
Alexei Ramirez and Gordon Beckham were hitting at the start of the year and are an excellent pair of fielders at SS and 2B. They give the Sox something to build around.
4. Starting Pitching.
The starting pitching has been pretty good this year. Once John Danks builds up his arm strength and can return to pitching, the Sox will have a legitimate "Big Three" in Danks, Chris Sale and Jake Peavy. That is also something to build around. And the Sox have other starters to build around: Jose Quinatana, possibly Hector Santiago and a sleeper might be Erik Johnson at AA. The Sox starting should be a strength in the next few years.
5. Some Help Is Down The Road (Hopefully).
The Sox 2012 draft had some promise. Courtney Hawkins was a real strong draft choice and some other picks from that draft may make some noise. Let's hope that the 2013 draft brings some decent prospects.
As for the rest of 2013 offense, this is where is starts to get tricky.
I don't think Tyler Flowers is anything more than a back-up catcher. But the Sox felt they needed to play him to find out what he can do. I don't see him ever hitting much, so they will need to address this in the offseason. Fortunately, there are some free agent options oout there: Brian McCann and Jarrold Saltalamachia, most prominently.
The Sox have two outfielders with offensive skills: Dayan Viciedo and Alex Rios. I would be OK with the Sox keeping both, including Rios despite his salary, and building around them. And Viciedo will be eventually become a DH.
You have to wonder if Alejandro de Aza is really anything more than a fourth outfielder on a good club. Maybe not. Unless Keenyn Walker lights it up in the minors this year (and he has not done so, yet), the Sox may need to look for a center fielder soon.
The Sox are pretty much stuck with Adam Dunn right now. But look on the bright side. He is a strong hot streak away from at least being tempting to some other club via trade. Hope he does get hot and bring the Sox some much needed prospects.
I really can't see the Sox bringing back Paul Konerko right now. As mid-season nears, the Sox should move him to a contender (preferably in the National League) and get back a legitimate offensive prospect or two. I would hate to see him go but unless the Sox get things untracked by June or so, I think that is where this is heading. And if the Sox are mirred in the second division, it would be fitting to give a great ballplayer and the face of this franchise the past 15 years a chance to go to a World Series. One possibility off the top of my head: the Washington Nationals. And they have some legitimate prospects.
I almost forgot Jeff Keppinger. He is better than he has played but wouldn't really have a spot on the Sox if they rebuild. He is starting to hit the ball harder. I am confident that he will get it going and he would help a contender, too. Once again, maybe the Sox can get some value in a trade.

Nice analysis but... sigh... don't we pretty much have the same conversation every year?
"I'm sorry that you don't like our manager," Williams says he told him.
"I'm sorry that you don't like our 3-4-5 hitters. Or our closer.
"I'm sorry that you don't like our third baseman and our shortstop. Or our left fielder and our right fielder.
"I'm sorry people feel this way about our club. But I also want you to know something about that:
"We don't care."
-Kenny Williams before start of 2005 season
This is no place to look for positives, but I admire the concept. Good for you. The season is less than 20 games old.
I'd spend more time here if it wasn't so vilifying.
"I have the ultimate respect for White Sox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Red Sox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country." Jim Caple, ESPN (January 12, 2011)
"We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the (bleeding) obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." George Orwell
Good thread. Agreed on all counts. Keep hope alive.
The universe is the practical joke of the General at the expense of the Particular, quoth Frater Perdurabo, and laughed. The disciples nearest him wept, seeing the Universal Sorrow. Others laughed, seeing the Universal Joke. Others wept. Others laughed. Others wept because they couldn't see the Joke, and others laughed lest they should be thought not to see the Joke. But though FRATER laughed openly, he wept secretly; and really he neither laughed nor wept. Nor did he mean what he said.
Very good analysis except I think you ignore one major problem-----offense. An infield of Beckham, Alexei and Gillaspi is good defensively but weak offensively. Take away Paulie for probably a couple of AA prospects and you have a huge hole at first.
This team needs several more guys who can hit like Rios has the past 2 seasons. Management is going to have to open up their wallet to free agency. Maybe Viciedo moves to DH if Dunn can be dumped but that would leave 1st, LF and catcher where you need to add starters w better than average offensive skills. The other options are bring players up from the minors( good luck with that) or trade away some pitching ( which I agree looks solid) to get some instant offense.
I am ignoring the option of trading Paulie, dumping Dunn and being a bad team for a few years with the hope of building a better farm system.
You had me until you mentioned trading Konerko. Get rid of Paulie and attendance might top 8k on most nights, and that's only if the opposing team's fans show up.
I want my $2.
Obligatory 2018 attendance record: 0-1 (2-1 loss in 13 to the Perpetual Losers on 6/28)
If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.
Another good thing is that if some of the guys you mention continue to play or pitch well, the Sox if they are out of it might actually be able to get something of future substance for some of them.
Notice I said might....it depends of how good Hahn is at making deals and we don't know much about that aspect yet since he was basically comatose this off season.

I share your optimism about the team. I think it's fair to say that if DeAza, Keppinger and Dunn were producing, the White Sox would be in first place now. Add to the fact that the Tank and Beckham are not playing because of injuries and it's somewhat understandable why we're in last place instead of first place. Hopefully the team can turn it around sooner rather than later.
I'm a big fan of Alexei Ramirez, but "something to build around?" The guy is 31.
And I was as big a Beckham fan as any, but I'm hardly drinking the Kool-Aid at this point.
Only three games out of first despite a generally horrible first 20 games. The Sox are struggling, but hardly buried. Lot of season left.

Next game: April 2019
Read my baseball blog: http://thebaseballkid98.blogspot.com/
Bill Veeck once said in one of his books: The future is now, 5 year plans usually lead to new 5 year plans in baseball. If you believe in that opinion, I don't see why this White Sox team can't get into the playoffs in 2013. It appears that the White Sox have the pitching to contend for the playoffs. The team needs a couple more hitters. Hopefully the Tank and Beckham will come back and be productive offensively. We still need another bat if they come back. Trade Floyd for a hitter and put Santiago in the rotation. The Sun Times had an article today that implied that Ventura is losing patience with some of the hitters. Maybe we might finally be seeing the end of Adam Done on the great Southside of Chicago.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - On October 11, UC Santa Barbara lost a 1-0 decision at UC Riverside. The defeat dropped the Gauchos' record to 7-6 on the season, 3-2 in Big West play.
On Saturday night, junior midfielder Tyler Rosenlund scored three goals, including two in the second half, to lead UCSB to a 3-2 win over Northwestern in the NCAA Quarterfinals in front of 8,784 at Harder Stadium. The victory sends the Gauchos to St. Louis for their second College Cup in the last three seasons. What a difference six weeks makes.
UCSB, who won for only the second time this season after trailing in the match, improves to 16-7-0 overall. NU saw its season come to a close at 14-8. The Wildcats lost for the first time in 2006 when scoring two or more goals.
"When we were 7-6 things were really in the hands of the players," said Santa Barbara head coach Tim Vom Steeg. "I have to give them a great deal of credit. They could easily have packed it in, but they didn't. They stuck together and turned things around."
Rosenlund, whose return to health has been one of the key factors in UCSB's turnaround, scored his first goal of the match and second of the season at 9:20 in the first half. Senior forward Bryan Byrne intercepted a pass on the right wing and drove up the field, taking his defender with him. He turned cut into the box and slid a perfect pass that eluded a pair of defenders, to Rosenlund who carried the ball in for the early 1-0 lead.
Northwestern responded minutes later, tying the score in the 13th-minute. Midfielder Carl Pett dribbled down the right side and was pursued by Gaucho defender Andy Iro. Iro lost his feet and went to the turf and Pett continued into the box, uncontested. Goalkeeper Kyle Reynish came off of his line to cut down the angle but Pett crossed a pass to Brad North on the left side of the goal box and North drove the ball into the open goal.
The Wildcats took a 2-1 lead at 37:55. After a foul, forward Gerardo Alvarez took a free kick from about 30 yards straight out. Alvarez put the ball over the wall and threaded the needle into the upper left corner of the goal, beyond the outstretched hand of a leaping Reynish. The 2-1 lead held at halftime.
UCSB wasted little time getting the equalizer in the second half. Jon Curry, who replaced an under-the-weather Brennan Tennelle to open the half, took a through-ball from Eric Frimpong and carried it into the Northwestern box. Curry beat his defender and crossed a perfect pass to Rosenlund who one-timed it past goalkeeper Justin Pines for his second goal of the match and third of the season. The time of the score was 47:07.
Just over 15 minutes later, at 62:22, it was Rosenlund again as he took a feed from midfielder Eric Avila at the top left corner of the box and drilled a perfect shot into the upper right corner of the goal, beyond a leaping Pines. The goal completed Rosunlund's hat trick and gave him four goals on the season.
After the Gauchos took the lead, Reynish and the defense took over. UCSB's senior goalkeeper finished with four saves, including two in the second half. He also came off his line on a number of occasions to break-up Wildcat scoring opportunities and he had several punch-outs on corner kicks.
The victory was Santa Barbara's ninth in its last 10 matches and fourth in a row in the NCAA Tournament. With the win, the Gauchos advance to their second College Cup in the last three seasons. They will meet Wake Forest on Friday, Dec. 1 in an NCAA Semifinal match in St. Louis. Virginia is also in the College Cup and the fourth member will be determined on Sunday morning when UCLA plays at Duke.

WATERVILLE, Maine - Men's track and field capped its regular season with a sweep of Colby, Bates and Southern Maine, finishing the dual slate with an undefeated record. The Engineers finished first in eight events and defeated runner-up Bates by 53 points.
The 10,000-meter run, a non-scoring event in this meet, was first up on the track. Looking for an easy run and to qualify for the New England Division III Championship in three weeks, Brian Jacokes, Joseph Roy-Mayhew and Chris Wong went 1-2-3 and easily qualified, running 32:20.00, 32:20.09 and 32:47.50 respectively. The qualifying time was 34:00 and the fact the threesome ran so comfortably bodes well for the weeks to come.
The distance runners got the job done in other events as well. In the 3000-meter steeplechase, freshmen Richard Prevost and Paul Welle dueled throughout the race all the way to the finish line, both running personal bests of 9:52.70 and 9:52.94 respectively.
The pole vaulters had to go inside because of the weather considerations and certainly did not seem to suffer for it. Omari Stephens, running back and forth between the indoor and outdoor track as he negotiated the trials and finals of the hurdles and the start of the men's vault, won easily, vaulting 15-9 for the second week in succession. Stephens also competed well in the 110m high hurdles, winning with a season-best of 15.28.
In the throws, James Oleinik had a solid day. He won the shot put with a throw of 48'6" and placed third in the discus with a personal best of 133'0".
Other event winners for MIT on Saturday included rookie Mattias Flander in the triple jump and Stephen Morton in the 100-meter dash.

Coker jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, when Brian Johanson laced a triple to right center and then scored off a Pembroke wild pitch. Unfortunately for the Cobras, UNCP would score 10 unanswered runs over the next four innings. Coker gained some ground in the bottom of the fourth when Steven Evans blasted a three-run homer over the left-center wall, but Pembroke would not be out done as they added two more runs to their lead in the top of the sixth, making it a 12-4 ballgame.
Coker cut the Braves lead to five in the seventh inning, scoring three runs off four hits. The Cobras then added their final run in the bottom of the eighth, making it a 12-8 final.
Coker starter Brad Boob (2-4) took the loss going four innings, allowing 10 runs on 11 hits, while Pembroke's Jordan Carter (4-1) picked up the win, throwing seven innings, allowing seven runs on 10 hits with four strike outs.
Leading Coker's offense, Steven Evans was 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBIs and a run scored, while Steven Dill and Ryan Schaeffer were each 2-for-3.
For the Braves, Barrett Otto was 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBIs and a run scored and Adam Hamrick was 2-for-5 with a triple and four RBIs.
Coker and UNCP finish up their two game series tomorrow as the Cobras travel to

OK, so for about 3 hours Saturday night it looked like my UM-Virginia Tech prediction (UM winning a defensive standoff 13-10) was about to come true. Then, like most UM losses this season, the Hurricanes offense went into malfunction mode.
Two Kyle Wright interceptions in the fourth quarter sent UM home 17-10 losers, ruining yet another outstanding defensive effort and putting UM on a path to its worst season since 1997. Yes, that's right. 1997. When the Hurricanes went 5-6 (while on probation and scholarship reductions). With three games left, it is hard to fathom UM winning out and avoiding what has been the worst mark (9-4 in 1999) since the bad old days.
At Maryland next week seems so much tougher now that the Terps beat Clemson Saturday. At Virginia, with this offense, is no cupcake either. And Boston College on Thanksgiving night? If UM loses both road games, what honestly makes anybody believe they'll have any heart left to eek out a 6th victory and become bowl eligible? It really does look that bleak, especially when your defense holds the other team to 139 yards and you still lose.
OK, I'm done venting. Now, I share the scenes from the postgame lockerroom. Rather, let's start with the final moments and the tunnel where after Larry Coker was booed off the field with "Fire Coker chants," Kyle Wright's father, Ken, got involved in some intense foul-mouthed conversation with a few UM fans in the stands, who had a lot of NOT nice things to say about his boy.
Mr. Wright exchanged a few f-bombs with the fans who were telling his boy to "Go back to California, you (expletive)." There was a lot more colorful language between the group before Mr. Wright called out stadium security guards by saying "why don't you people in yellow shirts get up there and shut that f---er up." Athletic director Paul Dee, always in and around the UM lockerroom after games, saw what was happening and along with some UM staff tried to quell the situation by yelling at Mr. Wright to hush up and not bother with the fans. Mr. Wright didn't like that and responded, "When the hell is somebody [f---ing] going to stick up for my son?"
Nobody on UM's staff did at that moment. They were too busy trying to stop Mr. Wright from possibly getting arrested in front of a pack of reporters, who didn't know the "guy who was yelling" was Kyle's dad. Mr. Wright's told one UM assistant "that's my son. Do you have one?" The UM assistant told Mr. Wright, "that's part of being here."
To hear what it sounded like, click on this link: Download nov4_kylefatheredited.mp3 . I will warn you, I tried editing out as many f-bombs as I could and I'm sure I couldn't get all of the foul language out in the distance for fear it would become one giant bleepfest. As for who is saying what, it is easy to figure out who Wright's father is when you hear him say "Hey, Hey! followed by the "you guys in yellow shirts" comment.
Inside the UM lockerroom it was a different story. There was silence. A lot of banging of shoulder pads and disappointment. Several players including guard Derrick Morse said "they still believe in Wright." Kirby Freeman, who looked spectacular and awful in matter of the four plays he got Saturday's game, was holding Wright's hand in the lockerroom (it was in a consoling manner). Assistant Andrew Swasey came over and tried consoling Wright too. Kyle, who didn't even shower after the game and sat at his locker in full pads for nearly half an hour, was red-faced and on the verge of tears all night.
In my eyes the bottomline is this: While Wright may have played the worst game of his career Saturday, this loss wasn't entirely his fault. At this point in the season after all UM has been through, somebody on this coaching staff has to realize UM can't win with Wright or Freeman having to do more than what they are capable of. What does that mean? That means Kyle can't be asked to drop back and lead UM to victory with his arm. He needs a running game to take the brunt of the work. UM had that Saturday night against Virginia Tech even without Javarris James. Tyrone Moss and even Charlie Jones were eating the Hokies up between the tackles.
Yet, every time Miami started moving the football on the ground, offensive coordinator Rich Olson called for a pass. On UM's second drive, the Hurricanes had a 3rd and 1 at the Hokies 49. Wright got into the shotgun, faked a handoff to James and fell down back at the line of scrimmage. I know UM struggled last week against Georgia Tech on 3rd and 1, but that was last week. It is the first quarter, you have the ball in Virginia Tech territory on a windy night -- RUN THE FOOTBALL.
Another example... on UM's third possession which begins at the V-Tech 45. Wright fakes a handoff and gets sacked on first down for a 10-yard loss. Why isn't UM just mowing the Hokies down on the ground? Then, on second down, Wright nearly gets picked off before firing a 30-yard pass up field to Lance Leggett who runs a 20-yard post. There are just so many times this offense could have just stuck to the run Saturday night and won the game. But instead Olson and Coker put the ball and the pressure in the hands of a quarterback who has cracked under pressure.
Anyway, the guys in the lockerroom were great. If you want to hear some of the interviews, click on the microphone on our UM page. It links to the audio interviews. Derrick Morse, Kirby Freeman, Tyrone Moss were all good. I would post the audio I got of Mr. Wright going bananas, but there is so much foul language it would probably be an FCC violation.
My last thoughts and then the forum is yours to vent. Here are some good things. As bleak as this season has been for the Canes, there have been bright spots. Calais Campbell is one of them. He is a straight up All-Star. The kid had three sacks last night and now has had a sack in his last six games. Jon Peattie's 55-yard field goal was also impressive. I'll say this and I think you'll agree: this defense is really, really good and if there was any semblance of an offense this UM team would probably be 8-1 today and not 5-4. And while UM may not have a first round pick this year, breaking a long string, Campbell is sure to get big NFL dollars in his future.
Now, it's all yours. Vent. Vent. Vent.

The MediaMonkey forum is a place for MediaMonkey users, contributors, and developers to exchange tips, bugs, scripts, and other information. The size and number of posts in the forum precludes the development team from monitoring all goings on, however, a team of Moderators does their best to raise critical issues directly to the attention of the development team.
The MediaMonkey forum is pretty easygoing, but we ask you to please keep to the following rules:
* Be courteous to and respectful of other users, testers, moderators and developers. Debate freely, but don't make it personal. Feel free to criticize MediaMonkey, but do it constructively.
* The forum exists for the community. Post publicly only if it might benefit other users. Personal issues / criticisms warrant private messages.
* Don't post any inappropriate or illegal content (e.g. porn, license keys, spam, etc.).
* Don't create posts that are duplicates of others or if the subject already exists, as this ends up wasting other's time, and spreads relevant information across multiple threads. For example, if a thread already exists for a particular script, enter the question in that thread.
* Don't hijack existing threads to discuss topics unrelated to the original subsect--create a new topics instead so that others can easily find it.
* Post content in the correct forum (the forum descriptions describe what goes where).

Entitled simply The National Parks of Finland, Karvinen's epic overview of the country's best-loved natural assets is based on seven years crisscrossing the length and breadth of Finland. She spent more than 700 days exploring and photographing the country's 40 national parks, travelling by foot, ski, skate, snowshoe, canoe, kayak, rowboat and even helicopter. You can see some of the resulting pictures in our slideshow, below.
Karvinen, whose first name, Tea, is pronounced as two syllables, unlike the English word "tea," grew up in Helsinki. Despite her city upbringing, she has felt the call of the wild and the call of the far north ever since she was a child. Today she lives in Finnish Lapland, a short distance from the Arctic Circle. In the 1990s she studied photojournalism at the University of Alaska.

U.S. Air Force Orders Beechcraft T-6 Training Aircraft
Beechcraft Defense Co. has received a $210 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to produce 35 T-6 training aircraft.
Although the contract was issued by the Air Force, 33 of the planes are for the U.S. Navy and two for the U.S. Army. Production begins this month and final delivery of aircraft is expected in early 2015.
Beechcraft said the deal, under the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System procurement program, includes an option for two additional aircraft.
"The signing of this latest production lot of our JPATS contract underscores the trusted partnership between Beechcraft and the U.S. government, which continues to rely on us to deliver and support their fleet as we have for the past 13 years," said Beechcraft Defense President Russ Bartlett. "The contract will also provide increased stability for our Wichita workforce."
Beechcraft began supplying various T-6 models to the military for the JPATS program since 2000. It recently offered the Air Force a combat air support variant for a program to light air support aircraft for Afghanistan but lost the competition to Embraer of Brazil and its U.S. partner, Sierra Nevada Corp.

Neurological ExaminationNeurological Examination - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is a neurological examination?
A neurological examination, also called a neuro exam, is an evaluation of a person's nervous system that can be performed in the doctor's office. It may be performed with instruments, such as lights and reflex hammers, and usually does not cause any pain to the patient. The nervous system consists of the brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves from these areas. There are many aspects of this examination, including an assessment of motor and sensory skills, balance and coordination, mental status (the patient's level of awareness and interaction with the environment), reflexes, and functioning of the nerves. The extent of the examination depends on many factors, including the initial problem that the patient is experiencing, the age of the patient, and the condition of the patient.
Why is a neurological examination performed?
A complete and thorough evaluation of a person's nervous system is important if there is any reason to think there may be an underlying problem, or during a complete physical. Damage to the nervous system can cause problems in daily functioning. Early identification may help to identify the cause and decrease long-term complications. A complete neurological examination may be performed:
During a routine physical
Following any type of trauma
To follow the progression of a disease
If the person has any of the following complaints:
Blurry vision
Change in behavior
Change in balance or coordination
Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
Decrease in movement of the arms or legs
Injury to the head, neck, or back
Slurred speech
What is done during a neurological examination?
During a neurological examination, the doctor will "test" the functioning of the nervous system. The nervous system is very complex and controls many parts of the body. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, 12 nerves that come from the brain, and the nerves that come from the spinal cord. The circulation to the brain, arising from the arteries in the neck, is also frequently examined. In infants and younger children, a neurological examination includes the measurement of the head circumference. The following is an overview of some of the areas that may be tested and evaluated during a neurological examination:
Mental status
Mental status (the patient's level of awareness and interaction with the environment) may be assessed by conversing with the patient and establishing his or her awareness of person, place, and time. The person will also be observed for clear speech and making sense while talking. This is usually done by the patient's physician just by observing the patient during normal interactions.
Motor function and balance
This may be tested by having the patient push and pull against the doctor's hands with his/her arms and legs. Balance may be checked by assessing how the person stands and walks or having the patient stand with his/her eyes closed while being gently pushed to one side or the other. The patient's joints may also be checked simply by passive (performed by the doctor) and active (performed by the patient) movement.
Sensory examination
The patient's doctor may also perform a sensory test that checks his/her ability to feel. This may be done by using different instruments: dull needles, tuning forks, alcohol swabs, or other objects. The physician may touch the patient's legs, arms, or other parts of the body and have him/her identify the sensation (for example, hot/cold, sharp/dull).
Newborn and infant reflexes
There are different types of reflexes that may be tested. In newborns and infants, reflexes called infant reflexes (or primitive reflexes) are evaluated. Each of these reflexes disappears at a certain age as the infant grows. These reflexes include:
Blinking - an infant will close his/her eyes in response to bright lights.
Babinski reflex - as the infant's foot is stroked, the toes will extend upward.
Crawling - if the infant is placed on his/her abdomen, he or she will make crawling motions.
Moro's reflex (or startle reflex) - a quick change in the infant's position will cause the infant to throw the arms outward, open the hands, and throw back the head.
Palmar and plantar grasp - the infant's fingers or toes will curl around a finger placed in the area.
Reflexes in the older child and adult
These are usually examined with the use of a reflex hammer. The reflex hammer is used at different points on the body to test numerous reflexes, which are noted by the movement that the hammer causes.
Evaluation of the nerves of the brain
There are 12 main nerves of the brain, called the cranial nerves. During a complete neurological examination, most of these nerves are evaluated to help determine the functioning of the brain:
Cranial nerve I (olfactory nerve)
This is the nerve of smell. The patient may be asked to identify different smells with his/her eyes closed.
Cranial nerve II (optic nerve)
This nerve carries vision to the brain. A visual test may be given and the patient's eye may be examined with a special light.
Cranial nerve III (oculomotor)
This nerve is responsible for pupil size and certain movements of the eye. The patient's doctor may examine the pupil (the black part of the eye) with a light and have the patient follow the light in various directions.
Cranial nerve IV (trochlear nerve)
This nerve also helps with the movement of the eyes.
Cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve)
This nerve allows for many functions, including the ability to feel the face, inside the mouth, and move the muscles involved with chewing. The patient's doctor may touch the face at different areas and watch the patient as he/she bites down.
Cranial nerve VI (abducens nerve)
This nerve helps with the movement of the eyes. The patient may be asked to follow a light or finger to move the eyes.
Cranial nerve VII (facial nerve)
This nerve is responsible for various functions, including the movement of the face muscle and taste. The patient may be asked to identify different tastes (sweet, sour, bitter), asked to smile, move the cheeks, or show the teeth.
Cranial nerve VIII (acoustic nerve)
This nerve is the nerve of hearing. A hearing test may be performed on the patient.
Cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal nerve)
This nerve is involved with taste and swallowing. Once again, the patient may be asked to identify different tastes on the back of the tongue. The gag reflex may be tested.
Cranial nerve X (vagus nerve)
This nerve is mainly responsible for the ability to swallow, the gag reflex, some taste, and part of speech. The patient may be asked to swallow and a tongue blade may be used to elicit the gag response.
Cranial nerve XI (accessory nerve)
This nerve is involved in the movement of the shoulders and neck. The patient may be asked to turn his/her head from side to side against mild resistance, or to shrug the shoulders.
Cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal nerve)
The final cranial nerve is mainly responsible for movement of the tongue. The patient may be instructed to stick out his/her tongue and speak.

Robert De Niro became highly emotional while talking about mental illness during an interview with Katie Couric on Monday, according to the Huffington Post.
The actor appeared with "Silver Linings Playbook" co-star Bradley Cooper and director David O. Russell. The other two men discussed bipolar and mood disorders — Russell's son suffers from bipolar disorder, which inspired the director to make the movie.
De Niro didn't say much, but when asked about how he related to the movie, the 69-year-old acting legend — who has four sons — started talking, then stopped. "I don't like to get emotional, but I know exactly what (Russell) goes through," De Niro said, voice cracking. He appeared to be holding back tears.
Russell said De Niro related deeply to the movie, telling Couric he saw a strong visceral reaction from the actor after he read the script. "I thought he was having hay fever, then I realized he was having an emotional reaction and I sat there and watched Robert De Niro cry for 10 minutes and I said, 'Wow he's really connecting with this material and this would be beautiful thing if it could work out, because I think his heart would be there' and it is there."
"Silver Linings Playbook" is nominated for eight Academy Awards, including De Niro for best supporting actor.

What is SpyHunter and How Does it Work?
SpyHunter is a powerful, real-time anti-spyware application certified by West Coast Labs' Checkmark Certification System and designed to assist the average computer user in protecting their PC from malicious threats. SpyHunter is automatically configured to give you optimal protection with limited interaction, so all you need to do is install it for immediate and ongoing protection.
As malware continues to evolve and become more sophisticated to avoid detection by anti-spyware/anti-virus programs, SpyHunter responds with advanced technology to stay one step ahead of today's malware threats. SpyHunter offers additional customization capabilities to ensure every user is able to custom tailor SpyHunter to fit their specific needs.
SpyHunter has the ability to detect and remove rootkits, which are used to stealth install rogue anti-spyware programs and other trojans.
Rootkits use hidden and encrypted files and folders to avoid detection by traditional security software. SpyHunter's newly integrated advanced rootkit detection technology allows it to perform an instant rootkit scan and promptly display a message upon detection. SpyHunter will then ask the user to reboot the computer and will remove the rootkit during the reboot process.
In order to remove rootkits completely, Windows must be stopped upon boot because rootkits utilize other files that load and run with Windows. Therefore, to prevent rootkits from regenerating on a user's computer, we've added a Compact OS into SpyHunter that allows your system to be booted without Windows so that the rootkit may be removed from your computer.
If SpyHunter is not able to automatically remove a malware object, the Spyware HelpDesk, an interactive feature integrated into SpyHunter, allows our technicians to remotely analyze your machine and directly deliver a custom fix to specific malware problems that may be unique to your computer.

I believe both the barcelona/shanghai and the core i7/nehalem have some significant tweaks that if the compiler isn't aware of the new functionality you leave significant performance on the table. In particular the newest SSE features won't be of any benefit without direct compiler support. >> A doubling of the can have that effect. The Intel L3 can no come anywhere >> close to feeding 4 cores running flat out. > > Could you explain this more? I am a little lost with the processor > dynamics. In general each step through the memory hierarchy (registers, l1, l2, l3, and main memory) approximately double latency and halve the bandwidth available. So for instance if you fit in L1 caches you might well be able to enjoy 160GB/sec, but if you more than 1MB on a nehalem chip you will be in L3 with only 48GB/sec or so. Check out: (the slightly updated) http://cse.ucdavis.edu/bill/pstream.svg So if you compare the 2MB lines the core i7 with 4 threads running can handle 47GB/sec. The dual socket barcelona or shanghai system can handle 128GB/sec. So even a dual socket Nehalem, even with one of the faster clocks (I tested 2.6 GHz) and perfect scaling the dual nehelam would only get 95GB/sec still well below the amd score. Of course there are many other things going on and it might well be other differences in the architecture responsible for the difference. Even if it was memory bandwidth there was many other parts of the graph where the single socket intel does substantially better than half the AMD, and in the case of accessing main memory the single socket intel is faster than the dual socket AMD. So basically it comes down to fun handwaving about the architecture, but if you are making a price/performance decision collect a bunch of production runs and get out a stop watch. Your vasp difference in performance and scaling might well disappear with different inputs. > Does this mean using a quad core for HPC on the Nehlem is > not likely to work well for scaling? Or do you imply a solution so > that I could fix this somehow? I didn't test a dual socket nehalem because I didn't have access, I hope to have numbers soonish. In the mean time contact me off list if you want the code to try it yourself.

Nov. 19, 2005
BRUNSWICK, Maine - A strong anchor by Jackee Nowickee in the 200 free relay led MIT to a narrow victory over Bowdoin College in the final event of Saturday's three-way dual. MIT edged the Bears, 152-139, thanks to the relay victory, while the Engineers also defeated Babson, 196-83, to improve to 4-0 on the season.
The 200 free relay was dead even after two legs, and Stephanie Sidelko swam a solid third to set up Nowickee for the final lap. All four swimmers for the Tech unit swam 25-point, while their end clip of 1:41.97 was nearly one second of Bowdoin's second-place finish (1:42.71).
Despite competing without several of its key swimmers, MIT stayed undefeated in the 400 medley relay with another strong finish. Freshman Nicole O'Keeffe shined for the Engineers in the third dual meet of her collegiate career, winning three individual events. O'Keeffe won both the 1000 and 500 free events, while also picking up critical points with a great win in the 200 IM (2:17.32).
Doria Holbrook won both boards for the third straight week, and rookie Jen Chao swept the backstroke events. Sasha Brophy also secured a major win for the Engineers with a come-from-behind victory in the 100 free (54.85).

Gagne's return should give Kings more scoringby Corey Masisak
Not only did Gagne and the Kings complete a remarkable run to the franchise's first Stanley Cup, but they might not have to wait long for a chance at claiming it again -- and he could play a vital role.
The Kings return every player who dressed for a 2012 Stanley Cup Playoff game, and given the lack of marquee moves by other top contenders from last season, Los Angeles looks set to enter the campaign with maybe the best chance to repeat as champion since the Detroit Red Wings won again in 1998.
Not only is everyone back, but Gagne will have had a full offseason to get healthy. He missed the final 47 games of the regular season and the first 16 playoff contests, but was back in the lineup for Games 3-6 during the Cup Final. He logged a little more than 32 minutes of ice time in those four games, but the mental relief they provided to a player who has dealt with multiple long-term injuries, including multiple concussions, was significant.
"The way things were going, I was confident I was going to be OK, but if you had to wait the whole summer before playing a game, it is a long wait," Gagne said during the Final. "It could have been a long summer to think about it, maybe putting a little bit of stress on yourself. Not the type of stress you want to have in the summer -- summer is the time to get ready for next season and relax and recover and get ready. For me to come back and be able to test myself and play and feeling good about it, it was something that I was really looking forward to."
30 in 30: Los Angeles Kings
More of the same?By Corey Masisak - NHL.com Staff Writer
The Los Angeles Kings have spent the offseason celebrating their first League title in franchise history, and the roster is loaded as the chance to reclaim the Stanley Cup is about to begin. READ MORE ›
Now that the Kings might have Gagne at full health, he could be like a new signing in 2012-13. The Kings struggled to score last season until they traded for Jeff Carter and promoted Dwight King, Jordan Nolan and Slava Voynov to bigger roles. With unrestricted free agent Dustin Penner retained on a one-year contract, there might not be a spot in the top six forwards for Gagne, but that could make him one of the League's top third-line threats.
Gagne averaged nearly 41 goals in the three seasons he was able to stay healthy from 2005-09, but there also was a campaign cut to 25 games mixed in. He hasn't played more than 63 games in any of the past three seasons, and has 41 goals in those seasons combined, but even 15-20 goals from Gagne would offer scoring depth the Kings didn't have last season. More than that could make a club already dominant at preventing goals downright frightening at the offensive end as well.
Gagne will be a free agent at the end of this season, but 2012-13 will be another chance for him to chase the Cup while trying to prove he can still play at a high level and stay healthy.
"I think the main thing was that the team and the medical staff, the doctors -- they gave me the time to rest and come back 100 percent," Gagne said. "I was skating in March and I was feeling pretty good, but not good enough, not 100 percent. I was maybe 95 percent, but that was not good enough for me, for the team, for the doctors. I have to say in the past I went back and played at 95 percent with that type of injury. I think the medicine is getting better. The doctors are more aware of that injury, and I think you are going to see guys take more of the time to come back. We're starting to learn a little bit about it.
"After about three weeks after the injury, I knew it wasn't really similar to what I had in the past. It wasn't that bad. Because of my [history] with this injury, we took double caution with the doctors and made sure that I got the right rest, the right exam, to make sure everything was fine. That's what we did, and now I have to say I give total credit to our doctors here in L.A., the medical staff -- they really put me in the best situation for me to get back and be 100 percent. The more we kept playing and the more we kept winning in the playoffs, I was like, 'Oh, maybe there is going to be a chance for me to come back and test it before next season.' "

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine egg whites, salt, and white vinegar together in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Combine the 3/4 cup sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl and add to the egg whites in thirds, whisking each addition in completely. Add the vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon the meringue in 8 big spoonfuls, using a spoon to spread them in a circle, and then make an indent in each. Bake for 10 minutes, lower the heat to 200 degrees F, and bake for another hour. Turn off the heat and cool the meringues in the oven for an hour, propping the door open with a wooden spoon. Meanwhile, whip the cream together with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. In a small bowl, crush 1/2 cup of the blueberries with a potato masher or a spoon to release their juice. Fold those and the rest of the blueberries into the cream if you like, or use as a topping over the egg whites and cream. Evenly distribute the cream on the meringues, filling in the indentations. Top with juicy blueberries and serve.

Interview Techniques
Interviewing Techniques for Ex-Offenders
Going on interviews and speaking with employers can be a worrisome task if you have previously served a prison sentence. The New Directions staff has outlined some helpful tips to help you communicate with employers more effectively.
Know Your Rights
• An employer can legally ask about convictions but not arrests. Do NOT discuss any incidents that led to just an arrest.
• In most cases, you cannot be denied employment based solely on your criminal history. Violent crimes or crimes against children may exclude you from some job opportunities.
• An employer cannot legally submit you to a lie detector test.
• If the employer legally fingerprints as part of the hiring process, the employer CAN see a copy of your Record of Arrest and Prosecution (R.A.P.) sheet.
• An employer needs your permission to conduct a background check through a credit reporting agency.
• An employer can however legally conduct a background check through the Office of Court Administration (O.C.A.).
• You have the right to ask an employer for a letter stating why you were denied employment; letter must be delivered within 30 days of inquiry.
• Youthful Offender convictions and other sealed convictions cannot be accessed.
Answering the Questions: Be Prepared for the Interview and Discussion
• Study your past conviction and R.A.P. sheet. Make sure there are no errors.
• Address the ex-offender status yourself. This will relieve the tension you may have about answering the question.
• Addressing the prior conviction yourself will also show the employer you have nothing to hide
• Know the details about your conviction; be truthful; but DO NOT give the employer more information than they need to know.
• Only state what the employer asks for.
• Own your past actions and take responsibility.
• DO NOT shift blame from yourself
• Explain your life changes since your incarceration.
• State your goals and how you plan on reaching your goals.
After the Interview
• Evaluate your performance
- How did you respond to ex-offender questions?
- Were you prepared?
- How did the employer(s) react to your responses?
- What can you work on or do better?
• Talk over the interview with New Directions and Career Services Staff members for further tips.

I am a noted author, freelance writer, celebrity blogger, top ranked filmmaker, and photographer.
I will continue to add to this gallery site so be sure to save the link. Below you will see info on locations of other works available online. Bookmark it now.
I was raised by a preacher and farmer father that rarely was without a camera. He was always shooting movie film or snapshots and taught me that a life filled with art, music, great books, films, nature, wise thoughts and fine friends was a life to be treasured. To this day, I agree.
In my early teens I fell in love with black and white film, working in a darkroom, and abstract images. I took classes and learned a lot. I was like a kid in a candy store.
As life progressed, I had little time to spend seriously playing with film as my life went more to education, family, canvas and paint, books, and movies. I became and still am a professional coach and mentor to artists, celebrities, entertainers, sports figures, and humanitarians worldwide that choose to ditch the "victim" mentality of the day and take a deeper look at their lives and thinking habits.
During a nasty bout with Valley Fever in 2007 that nearly cost me my life, I decided to do more about my love of photography when I got well... take a bit more time for me. The long routine of 16 hour days with one day off a year was over. At the urging of a dear friend, Linda Kordich, wife of the celebrity "Juice Man", Jay Kordich, and a fantastic photographer herself, I once again began to carry cameras and lenses everywhere I went. Another dear friend, the talented artist "String" now living in the UK, keeps me inspired. As I jumped back into the deep pool of photography and art, I found many folks to inspire me and keep me at my best.
Today I work with digital images and love my Nikon cameras and lenses.
Thank you for visiting my gallery and I hope to see you here again soon.
Blessings to all,
Lee Travathan

Accommodation and facilities:
TonSai is dirty and a new wall is seperating MountainView Resort from the beach, there is only a left and right way along the wall going to the sea. The MountainView bungalows were mostly empty, but the guy told us at the reception only a room, not a Bungalow would be available. I was not accepting, so we finally got a bungalow. We ordered a new Bungalow with fan over the Internet and got finally an old one with fan, which we could accept for four nights. But this didn t make us happy... The reception and restaurant is no longer what it was years before. But MountainView might be still one of the best choices in Tonsai if you want to be far away from the tons of trash laying near to the beach in the jungle...

We have amended our booking from Fan Room to Air Conditioned Room. But we did not use Air Condioning, because it was pretty cool. The room was OK, but not clean and shower is not hot enough. We could got used to them. Staff are nice and friendly. They will clean room only you requested. No facilities such as restaurant, mini-mart, and pool.

Though we knew before hand that electric supply comes on from 1800 to 0600 hrs, it would be nice if it could be extended to 0800 hrs so that there is warm water for shower and light in the morning if we have to get up early. For the first 3 nights of a 4 night stay there were power failures (3rd night of over 2 hrs) so some candles and matches or emergency torch lights would be much appreciated.
Reservation service:
Good service and efficient.

In Ao Tonsai, you really don t have any choice but to rough it. This hotel is ok, even pretty good by Tonsai standards, but understand that this isn t saying a whole lot. BTW, I love Tonsai, I love rock climbing (the only reason anyone should be here in the first place) and I have stayed at 5 of the dozen hotels that are here. This was by far the most expensive and marginally the best. Benefits included extremely basic things, like a mirror in the bathroom, concrete walls which kept the mosquitoes out at night (as opposed to simply bamboo walls), a couple towels and working plumbing. Things you put up with everywhere in Tonsai are: No electricity from 6am to 6pm, motorcycles with no mufflers roaring right past your bungalow door at midnight, freezing showers and the stench of garbage piles at random places all over the bay. Tonsai is awesome if you are a climber focusing on the rock--its pretty disgusting otherwise.
Reservation service:
No complaints with the booking. Everything went as planned.

Accommodation and facilities:
staff friendly during the stay, but big disappointment on leaving. I asked twice to two different people at reception if someone could give me a hand for carrying my bulky and heavy bag to the pier on check out morning. no problem, i was told to report at 6.40, but unfortunately when the moment came, no one was to be seen either at reception or around; i had to go fetch some jogger to help me. of course I had already paid for my stay in advance, so they probably didn t see the need to bother anymore. very disappointing.
Reservation service:
at reception they were going to give the last room to two other customers, although i had booked and paid the total of the ten nights i was to spend at Mountain view resort. that was because they were not notified of the transaction by sawasdee, i was told. after lenghty checking by phone; i got the only available room left.

During 2011, the Commission will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of its creation as an independent agency. As part of that celebration, the Commission plans to hold a series of events looking at trends in the maritime industry and the FMC's role as a leader in developing the efficient intermodal practices that revolutionized global trade. It also anticipates making a number of new resources and information easily available to the public and our maritime community.
January 2011: The Commission is pleased to announce that historical Commission and predecessor agency Annual Reports from 1917 to 1999 are now available on the Commission's website. Each annual report provides an historical account of significant industry events and the Commission's and its predecessor agencies' regulatory activity during each respective fiscal year. With this addition, the public will have full, electronic access to a significant body of historical information. Commission Annual reports from 1917 to 1999 are separately grouped on the Commission's Annual Reports webpage. These historical reports supplement the Commission's Annual reports from 2000 through the present that are also available on the Commission's website.
February 2, 2011: The Commission will host a roundtable of former FMC Chairmen in the Commission's Main Hearing Room on February 2, 2011, 1:00 - 3:00 pm. Former Chairmen will share their thoughts and perspectives on issues and events during their respective times at the Commission's helm, on issues confronting the Commission today, and on the Commission's role in the future.
This event is open to the public. So that we may properly plan for this event, if you would like to attend please RSVP to email@example.com no later than Friday, January 28th.

For more than a century, the Sibley Building has been an iconic presence in downtown Rochester. In recent years, however, its future has been clouded by low occupancy and the failure of its owner, Rochwil Associates L.P., a subsidiary of Wilmorite Properties Inc., to pay taxes and loan obligations.
But no more. The announcement Friday that an affiliate of Winn Development, the real estate development arm of Winn Cos., has acquired the Sibley Building means the outlook for the historic property has brightened dramatically.
Winn has an ambitious, 10-year plan to revitalize the 1,085,000-square-foot, 12-story building. The elements range from upgrades to the HVAC and security systems to ground-floor and exterior renovations. The company also plans to develop retail, commercial and institutional space along with affordable and market-rate housing.
As the firm's managing principal, Gilbert Winn, notes in this week's Q4, the project is similar to others the developer has tackled, combining restoration of a historic building with revitalization of an urban neighborhood.
Joining Winn in the project are local attorney Gerard DiMarco and Genesee Regional Bank, which provided financing for the acquisition and renovation of the building.
The current anchor tenant is Monroe Community College with its Damon City Campus. MCC signed a five-year lease extension this year, but its board has approved a plan to move the campus across the river to property owned by Eastman Kodak Co.
For their part, Winn officials clearly believe in the future of the Sibley Building and downtown, with or without MCC. Others do as well. Recent weeks have brought news of Rochester Institute of Technology's decision to open a Center for Urban Entrepreneurship at the site of the former Rochester Savings Bank on Franklin Street-opposite the Sibley Building. And a short walk up East Avenue, another historic building, East Avenue Commons, will be upgraded by new owner Thomas Masaschi, who plans to invest millions of dollars.
Change in the heart of downtown will not occur overnight. But with work progressing at Midtown, Winn's long-term commitment to the Sibley Building and other renovation projects planned or under way, there's clearly reason for optimism.

HAYWARD — Scientists are taking advantage of next month's implosion of a 13-story Cal State East Bay building to study a portion of the Hayward Fault using seismic monitors they will place throughout nearby neighborhoods.
The implosion of Warren Hall will produce energy similar to a very small earthquake and because scientists know when and where the quakelike event will occur, they can closely monitor the event, said Leslie Gordon, U.S. Geological Survey communications specialist. The data collected will help them better understand the Hayward Fault zone, which lies a little more than 750 yards west of the building.
USGS scientists and volunteers will fan out through neighborhoods within a couple of miles of the building beginning Monday, contacting residents to see if they are willing to have the monitors placed temporarily on their property.
"We can learn a lot," Gordon said. "How deep does the Hayward Fault go? Is it splintered? Is it connected to other faults?"
Using satellite images, USGS scientists have pinpointed where they would like to place the seismometers, instruments about the size of soda cans that measure shaking, Gordon said. Almost 600 seismometers will be positioned on both private and public property beginning Aug. 12 and retrieved after the implosion in mid-August.
The exact date that the building will come down not been set, said Barry Zepel, Cal State spokesman. "It all depends on the contractor," he said.
Warren Hall, a Hayward hills landmark visible for miles and used by pilots as a visual reference point, has been declared the most seismically unsafe building in the California State University system by a review board. The former administration building has sat empty since 2011.
Earlier this year, regents authorized demolishing the 42-year-old building and constructing a new five-story administration building on the east side of campus.
Cal State geology department employees contacted USGS scientists, who decided to take advantage of the unique opportunity, said geophysicist Rufus Catchings, the lead scientist on what they have named the East Bay Seismic Experiment.
The seismometers will measure how fast the energy from the quake travels, Gordon said.
When seismic waves emanate from an earthquake, they are amplified in some areas, such as in soft sediment or on the fault itself. That makes the shaking there much more violent, Catchings said. The data will help scientists better map what kind of geological layers lie underground.
"If we can look at these things in detail and study it, we can extrapolate on what may happen on the greater fault zone and other fault zones, such as San Andreas," he said.
Scientists also plan to use the implosion to calibrate their permanent seismographs that are spread throughout the Bay Area, Catchings said.
"We can check to see how well our seismographic network is locating earthquakes," he said. "If a seismograph locates this implosion a kilometer off, for example, we can then say, oh, we know we have some errors and try to calibrate our network more precisely."

Ah, but there's the problem. We've divined what they intend... we think... but they didn't originally tell us. The PI involved is a relatively new, but reasonably experienced CS prof associated with our bioinformatics crowd. She and her students intend to sift through plant genomic data for patterns (we think, based on her known affiliations). *I* suspect she's interested, as well, because she read about Hadoop and wants to play. > This means you'll have to dedicate systems over the long term to store > the data (much like PVFS), and all of these systems will have to be a > part of their mapreduce jobs. So if your queue system can run > whole-cluster jobs easily, no problem. Can it? Yes. Is that the intent of the cluster? No. The cluster is configured as a high-throughput system with a gigabit non-blocking backplane. 8 cores/node, all jobs are scheduled on a per-node basis. Each node DOES have local disk (this isn't an opportunity to reopen THAT religious war) so we theoretically could use the Hadoop file system, save it'd likely break our cluster design. Instead, we're looking at Hadoop On Demand (http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/r0.17.2/hod.html). > If, instead, they're just looking for a simple way to do > embarrassingly parallel computations, without lots of persistent data, > then you can probably point them at something easier and more friendly > to your queue system. Yeah, and I've been trying, but someone else promised them it'd be made available without talking to the guys who have to install and support it, because it "looks" like valuable computer science. gerry -- Gerry Creager -- gerry.creager at tamu.edu Texas Mesonet -- AATLT, Texas A&M University Cell: 979.229.5301 Office: 979.458.4020 FAX: 979.862.3983 Office: 1700 Research Parkway Ste 160, TAMU, College Station, TX 77843
