Speed of sound and sound detection lag between ears
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
One cue your hearing system uses to localize a sound (i.e., to tell where a sound is coming from) is the slight difference in the arrival times of the sound at your ears. Your ears are spaced approximately 20 cm apart. Consider a sound source 5.0 m from the center of your head along a line 45 degrees to your right.
What is the difference in arrival times? Give your answer in microseconds.
2. Relevant equations
speed of sound in air @ rm temp = 343m/s
3. The attempt at a solution
I set up the problem as so:
and then calculated the two dark red lines as different hypotenuses of the two different triangles (one is L+0.1 and the other is L-0.1), then I used v=d/t (with some manipulations) and got a difference which was incorrect
then i tried to set it up as 5 being the main hypotenuse (dashed turquoise), and did a similar process, again wrong
I believe the 5m should be along the dashed 45 degree line... Use the cosine law to calculate the length of the two sides...
Use the dashed line, 0.1m and the right hypoteneuse triangle... calculate the length of the hypoteneuse...
Then use the dashed line, 0.1m and the left hypoteneuse triangle... calculate the length of the left hypoteneuse...
i have forgotten that way, but try drawing a per. line to the last dark red line from L-0.1 point,
and you make a safe assumption that two red lines are parallel..
kinda that
it's a square, in case you don't know
and, so using Pythagorean theorem I got 4.12286E-4 s,
and using some approximations, i made it a two lines problem, and got something very similar.
(0.2*5)/5 = difference in length
...not working...
but I am pretty sure that L is 5 m.

Ryder Cup heralds a record-breaking weekend for Sky Go
Figures released today reveal that the live Sky Sports coverage of last weekend's Ryder Cup attracted record levels of online and mobile viewing to Sky's award-winning multiplatform TV service Sky Go.
Alongside the live HD and 3D coverage on Sky Sports, which reached almost 5 million TV viewers during the course of the tournament, a record-breaking 700,000 Sky customers followed the live action through Sky Go, which is available to Sky TV customers free of charge on a range of internet-connected devices including iPad, iPhone and selected Android smartphones.
As Team Europe completed their comeback on Sunday evening, a peak audience of more than 200,000 were watching online or on mobile through the service.
Alongside the hundreds of thousands of Sky customers using Sky Go to watch live coverage, more than 900,000 visitors also came to the Sky Sports website and mobile phone apps to keep up to date with the latest news from the tournament.
Additionally, 174,000 Sky customers accessed the interactive coverage of the tournament through the red button on their Sky+HD box.
Luke Bradley-Jones, Brand Director, TV Products, comments: "These record-breaking figures for Sky Go demonstrate how Sky customers are increasing embracing new technologies to make sure they don't miss a moment of the action. Sky Sports' coverage of last weekend's dramatic Ryder Cup had Sky customers in their hundreds of thousands reaching for their smartphones and mobile tablets to enjoy stunning live coverage and up-to-the-minute news."
Sky has already confirmed that it will be the host broadcaster for the next three Ryder Cup competitions, at Gleneagles in 2014, Minnesota in 2016 and Paris in 2018.
For more detail on the viewing figures, please see Luke Bradley-Jones' blog on Sky Views.

Stress Measurement
Prototype MeasurementWind, air temperature and pressure – wind energy systems (WES) during their operation are exposed to the most varied stresses, besides the constantly changing environmental conditions also to mechanical stresses. The actual forces affecting the most highly stressed spots however can only be determined by direct measurements on the WES. These verify the simulated values defined during the design of the WES. For this, the most varied components are tested for their eigenfrequency and their mutual stimulation / interference during the most diverse operating conditions.
Benefit to the CustomerFor more than 20 years now WES are experiencing continuous advancements. Not only increasingly efficient machines are produced, but also the existing ones can be continuously optimised due to the constantly growing expertise. This became necessary not only due to the raised machine efficiency requirements of investors, but also due to the fact that different components, which have been developed by other industries, cannot be transferred to WES on a 1:1 basis.
The measurement of the mechanical stresses ensures that the values determined by the system manufacturer theoretically are verified by measurements. The results are the basis for the certification of the WES and also for the enhancement of quality and the technical optimisation of the WES in general.
wtg is accredited for stress measurements according to ISO EN 17025.
ImplementationAn autonomously operating measuring system, whose modular design allows for a virtually unlimited number of measuring channels, is used for the recording of data. Data are normally recorded at a sample rate of 50 to 100 Hz. Temporary incidents - stopping incidents in particular often result in extreme stress peaks - can be examined more thoroughly in short campaigns with higher sample rates up to the kHz range.
The measuring system is geared to the respective requirements and design conditions of the WES.
In addition to the mechanical stresses, all values must be recorded that describe the current operating conditions of the WES. These are among others the electrical output, WES status, rotational speed, pitch angle and nacelle position.
These measuring results are then related to the meteorological marginal conditions (wind speed and direction, turbulence intensity, air density), which are measured using a freely blown wind measuring mast.
The results are documented in a comprehensive report.
As a rule the measurements are carried out according to the international directives IEC 61400-13 and IEC 61400-12.

It's all part of a new outreach effort to attract more interest in science among Utah's growing Spanish-speaking population.
The planetarium, located inside Lind Lecture Hall on Weber State University's Ogden campus, has been presenting star shows in Spanish since November.
WSU assistant physics professor Stacy Palen, who serves as director of the Ott Planetarium, said she has received a lot of interest from the community, particularly from grade-school teachers in Ogden's inner-city schools and from the multicultural student society on campus.
Based on this early success, Palen and her staff of undergraduate students are already busy translating another show into Spanish. Even before it's produced, Palen has received requests for the new show from planetariums as far away as Texas and New Jersey. According to Palen, there are no Spanish language shows available in the American market.
"We teamed up with Clark Planetarium to translate their most popular show, 'The Secret of the Cardboard Rocket,'" Palen said. The initial translation was done by a bilingual student at WSU and reviewed by a native Spanish-speaking astronomer who works for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Three generations of a local family recorded the voices for the actual program, which is now in post-production.
Palen said the Spanish programs currently available are only 20 minutes in length, but she hopes to have a longer show in place by the end of spring semester 2006.
Congress recently approved a $1 million appropriation for the planetarium to upgrade its facility and expand educational opportunities for students at the elementary school, secondary school and college level. Translating star shows into Spanish is just one way the federal funding will assist Ott Planetarium in its efforts to support NASA's mission of developing and recruiting the next generation of astronomers and other scientists.
The facility will use the federal money to purchase equipment that will significantly reduce the time it takes to produce new shows. Currently, it takes the computer used by Palen's students more than an hour to create one minute of a finished show.
Ott Planetarium's primary mission is education, and Palen believes providing shows to audiences from all backgrounds, classes and regions is in science's best interest. The facility offers a waiver program for groups such as Head Start, which serve predominantly underprivileged populations.
"People often say 'You can't solve a problem by throwing money at it,'" Palen said. "That's probably true, but it's also true that you can't solve a problem without throwing minds at it. In our country, here in Ogden, and even on our campus, we are missing a whole lot of minds that could be helping us solve our problems. We need to reach out to more people."
The Ott Planetarium is available for school presentations for students of all ages throughout the school year. Star shows are open to the public on Wednesday evenings during the academic semester. Spanish language shows are presented at 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays. Visit weber.edu/planetarium for a complete listing of shows and more information about the facility.

Director: Jason EisenerSynopsis: Treevenge is a short film detailing the experiences and horrifying reality of the lives of Christmas trees. Clearly, for trees, Christmas isn't the exciting "peace on earth" that is experienced by most. After being hacked down, and shipped away from their homes, they quickly become strung up, screwed into an upright position for all to see, exposed in a humiliation of garish decorations. But this Christmas will be different, this Christmas the trees have had enough, this Christmas the trees will fight back. Treevenge could be a short film about the end of days for Christmas trees, or perhaps, the end of humanity?
WHAT TO WATCH ON TV TONIGHT: MONDAY, JULY 13th, 2009

Okay fight fans! Tonight's recommended viewings all linger around the theme of fighting for survival in one way or another. So why not watch with a friend? And then why not punch them upside when they're not looking. I think you'll both get a pretty good laugh out of it. FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH AFTER THE JUMP…
'Entourage' Actress Emmanuelle Chriqui
Monday, July 13 by Defy Media
"Entourage" made its triumphant return last night, and with it came the return of the adorable Emmanuelle Chriqui. She took a long break from playing Sloan, Eric's smoking hot girlfriend – much to the dismay of every heterosexual male who watches it in hopes of seeing attractive women (the same ones who watch to hear Ari say something cool that they can co-opt for themselves). The producers and writers must've realized they were all morons for not featuring her on the show, and now she's back. All is right with the world (except the economy, of course).A word from Emmanuelle: "You know, "Entourage" is the biggest surprise of my career. It's never really been my dream to be on a TV series. But every pilot season, my agent wants me to do something. So this time I said, 'Okay, look, if I do television, I want to do an HBO show.'"It's no surprise you'll find hot photos of Emmanuelle after the jump.

Throughout the ages, enchanting babes with supernatural powers have come and gone, but a few exceptional ones have stuck out in our memory. This list is a tribute to fifteen of Screen Junkies' favorite magical, sexy ladies and the spells they put on us. 15. Cheras Alexandra Medford in The Witches of Eastwick (1987)Cher may be a hell of a singer, if not always the best actress, but in this 80's magical movie she got to show off her hots, received a significantly larger role than she normally did in her films, and showed what a sexy magical babe she could be. That's her on the left of the Eastwick poster if you didn't already know.

Like many Watchmen fans, I have mixed feelings about its big screen adaptation. I appreciate it for what it is. The attention to aesthetic detail is certainly amazing and the sheer spectacle of it all is on a larger scale than any of its comic book film predecessors. But it just seems to lack the heart and fear that were so present in the book partly because the supporting characters are essentially non-characters. I held out the hope that the Director's Cut would capture more of the magic from the illustrated page. And it looks like I was right! Here is a deleted scene where the original Nite Owl attempts to fend off paranoid attackers in his home. Things don't pan out very well for the old timer but it is a beautifully put-together scene nonetheless and one that definitely should have been included in the theatrical run. You can pick up the Director's Cut on DVD and Blu Ray on July 21st. Or you can wait a few months for the 5-disc Ultimate Edition. (via Latino Review) Please avail yourselves to our morning links… Ryan Reynolds will eventually be in every comic book movie.

'Stella' Short: 'Bored' w/ Sam Rockwell
Saturday, July 11 by Reza F.
Happy Saturday, junkies! If you haven't already read our weekend preview, you might have missed that Comedy Central ran episodes of both "The State" and "Stella" in the wee hours of the morning. They likely didn't run this: an NSFW short written and driected by, and starring David Wain, Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter – a.k.a. Stella. It's my favorite of the "Stella Shorts," which preceded the Comedy Central show (a show which had Star Wars-level production value by comparison). Look for Moon and Iron Man 2's Sam Rockwell as a pizza delivery guy. With music by John Cougar Mellencamp.

Network: Comedy CentralCast: David Wain, Michael Ian Black, Michael ShowalterSynopsis: The official synopsis reads: A sketch comedy show that follows the absurd adventures of Michael, Michael and David. But that doesn't do this show justice. It only lasted a season, but is available on DVD and we strongly recommend you pick it up, especially Disc 1, which includes, "Office Party," possibly my favorite 22 minutes of Prime Time TV EVER.Status: Cancelled

'WWE Friday Night Smackdown' Diva Michelle McCool
Friday, July 10 by Reza F.
I'll be honest; I haven't watched anything related to the WWE since 4th grade. I always felt that I needed a taste for Natty Light, trucker hats, and trailer homes to in order to fully appreciate the sport. And I had none of the those. But after scrambling to find a topical subject for today's girl gallery – and landing one – I now may be inclined to make a habit of WWE Friday Night Smackdown. Because there's always a chance that beautiful "Diva" Michelle McCool will show up. She's the current Divas World Champion, and, more importantly, used to be a 7th grade school teacher. I leave the immature schoolboy jokes to you.A word from Michelle: "I, like most of the other Divas, get this question often. Though the girls have done some absolutely beautiful, classy shoots with Playboy, it's not for me. For now, I'll be keeping my clothes on."Sh*t. Anway, check out some beautiful, classy photos of a scantily-clad Michelle after the jump!

The What: WWE Friday Night SmackDown is a professional wrestling television program for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) that is currently airing on MyNetworkTV in the United States. The show's name is also used to refer to the SmackDown brand, in which WWE employees are assigned to work and perform on that program; the other programs and brands are Raw and ECW. And that, junkies, is about the most corporate description we could borrow from wikipedia ever.

There's been a lot of controversy over the look of Destro's mask in the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Fans and baby crows alike are concerned that it just won't be shiny enough. Well, you can set those worries aside. UGO received an exclusive first look at a drawing… of the toy… based off the actor… playing the role of the cartoon. And here it is: I'm confused as to why they would model him after Marcia Cross though. Look at these shiny morning headlines… Todd Phillips hires Zach Galifianakis for his next two projects.

JENNIFERS BODY SFW Trailer – Watch more Movie TrailersOn Monday, we posted ShockTilYouDrop's Red Band trailer for Jennifer's Body, and today, the theatrical trailer was released online. This one's noticeably tamer and free of Diablo Cody's trademark "Diablogue" like the soon-to-be-meme, "Smells like Thai food in here. Were you guys f**king?" We're guessing if Fox had allowed a permutation of that line in thisSFW version, it would go something like, "Smells like Thai food in here.

Court Bans Holding, Bad Bank Referendum
The Constitutional Court has found that a referendum on the legislation setting up a bad bank and a sovereign holding would be unconstitutional, thus in effect banning a popular vote on the matter.
A smooth functioning of the state takes precedence over the right to demand a legislative referendum, the court established in the ruling released on Wednesday. The decision was adopted by eight votes to one.
The court agreed with the opinion of the petitioner, the coalition majority in parliament, that a referendum and in particular non-implementation of the laws would lead to unconstitutional consequences.
A referendum and in particular rejection of the laws would leave constitutional values unprotected to the extent jeopardising the balance between various constitutional values.
The values that in the circumstances of a grave economic crisis take precedence over the right to demand a referendum are: an efficient implementation of state functions, realisation of human rights, respecting the state's commitments under international law and ensuring the efficiency of EU law on Slovenia's territory.
If the state fails to adopt urgent measures to ensure fiscal stability of its functioning in the circumstances of the given economic crisis, the above values are threatened, the court said.
The only dissenting opinion came from judge Etelka Korpič-Horvat, who stated that the Constitutional Court failed to examine whether the two laws were in accordance with the Constitution and that by allowing the possibly unconstitutional legislation the court contributed to an unconstitutional situation.
A referendum on the law introducing measures to boost stability of the banking system, including a bad bank, was requested by the KNG union of chemical industry out of fears for what would happen with companies in bank portfolios, while the referendum on the holding to manage all state assets was requested by the opposition Positive Slovenia.
From The National Poet Of Slovenia In A Language People Understand
Oi! Take that sex doll effigy down!
The riot police are nearby,
Ni smo gotof as you can see
There's one good reason why;
You've had a jolly good old shout,
And tasted LJ Law; —
The Constitution of Slovenia
Sweeps, like oil slick, ashore.
The banks, owed loads of euros, thud
At economic low,
They want some worrying totally dud
Debts put in room below.
"No, don't! That's just a cop-out" said
Some in economy; —
No-one knows yet whose private debt
Will be paid publicly.
No matter that you scuttled bulk
Opinion with your brave
Bland undefined generalities
In insular enclave;
Would BBVA hold Zvon's bag?
By whom's construction bailed?
By Constitutional deforms
Who'll whale? Who'll be impaled?
The USS Constitution is copyright United Slaves of Slovenia. All rights reserved. Just kidding! The USS Constitution is in fact the oldest ship in the US navy. Cannonballs seemed to just bounce off its thick, wooden sides.
In 1812 the appropriately named Captain Hull surprised World-Of-Sea-Warfare fans by officially proving the Americans were better than the British at towing ships forward using anchors dropped ahead by a rowing boat. And, okay - at blowing up the English ship. The Guerriere, a fifth-rate ship previously captured from the French, looked stylish but fell to pieces at the critical moment.
Not only did poor Captain Dacres get all shot up in the Guerriere, but had to give the Yankee skipper his hat. When the two met, before the war, Dacres had bet his hat that he would whip the Constitution.

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia have not gone without the proverbial "hitch." One such hitch is the trouble with the elevators. According to a February 10 report by USA Today, Olympic bobsledder, Nick Cunningham, was trapped in an elevator earlier today.
Nick Cunningham was stuck in an elevator with his teammate, Johnny Quinn. The two American bobsledders were rescued after they shared their photos on social media. It was reported they were not trapped in the elevator for long.
This wasn't the first time Johnny Quinn had found himself trapped while competing in at the Sochi Winter Olympics. He had be stuck in his bathroom earlier. He managed to save himself after "obliterating" his bathroom door.
Johnny Quinn isn't the only Olympic athlete to have trouble with elevators in Sochi. He isn't the only bobsledder to have problems with the elevators. A bobsledder competing for Great Britain tweeted a photo of an empty elevator shaft. She almost stepped into that empty elevator shaft when she attempted to use the elevator.
Although the troubles with the elevators seem minor compared to the terrorist threats the Sochi Winter Olympics had received, they could cause even more problems – Olympic athletes missing important practice sessions or even events. Of course, should someone actually step into an empty elevator shaft, it could be deadly.

Supernatural S7E01 Promo - "In Cas We Fear"
This 30 second promo for the new series of Supernatural displays the tag line In Cas We Fear, referring to the phrase "In God We Trust", reflecting - in a very eerie way - Castiel's proclamation at the end of Season 6 that he is now God. The video is an incredibly effective teaser, showing the return of characters such as Death and Crowley (the King of Hell), as well as numerous unexplainable events - it literally displays that you will have to watch the episode to understand.
This extremely interesting advertising campaign was installed into bus stops around the UK prior to the airing of the 5th season of Supernatural, a US television show. A theme of the 5th season was the impending apocalypse; demons became rife around the world, and this is invoked in this campaign - a world becoming cautionary.
The main signifier of red all over the advert, in this case, is something known world over: caution, danger. It's the colour of fire trucks and extinguishers, and importantly in this case it's the colour on "In Case Of Fire, Break Glass" boxes, and with the difference being that this is filled with (holy) water it's still something very familiar to people in general - because of this difference it actually draws people in by spiking their curiosity.

Is it Depression? Is it ADHD? Is it both?
Some people who get diagnosed with ADHD do so because they've been undergoing therapy and antidepressant medication for Depression or Dysthymia (chronic low level depression, a condition that is very often missed) for years with little improvement. They finally start asking about ADHD and see someone that is actually trained in diagnosing and treating ADHD (unfortunately, far too few medical professionals), get a diagnosis of ADHD.
Then they start managing their ADHD by ADHD medication, adult ADHD coaching or therapy, exercise, lifestyle changes, greater self awareness and participation in Adult ADD support groups, and the grey fog of depression starts to lift.
Eventually there's no more depression, just ADHD.
If you look at the symptoms of ADHD and you don't find some way to manage them relatively effectively, its not to hard to see that they can easily lead to other conditions like Depression, Dysthmia or Anxiety Disorders.
I personally know
3 8 women with ADHD who underwent therapy for depression for a decade and even suggested to their therapist that they might have ADHD and that possibility was quickly dismissed. Later they found someone that understood ADHD, got diagnosed and sought help and now are no longer depressed. I've unfortunately heard and read far too many other similar stories.
You could also think you might have ADHD and it's just depression or dysthmia since some of the symptoms are similar.
You could have ADHD and experience a divorce, death in the family, lose your job and develop depression from those events, unrelated to ADHD.
This is why a good diagnosis by a professional that understand ADHD and Depression is crucial. You don't want to waste years of your life because you're treating a secondary symptom of the problem and not the root cause

Tracheal Perforation in Dogs
Tracheal perforation is a loss of the integrity of the tracheal wall, in the form of a hole or rip, allowing leakage of air into the surrounding tissues and creating air pockets under the skin, air collection in the mediastinum (in between the lungs), and potentially air in the sac around the heart, free air in the chest cavity, and air in the most posterior part of the abdominal cavity (pneumoretroperitoneum). This loss of integrity can be caused by a penetrating trauma, trauma from inside the trachea, or blunt neck or chest trauma.
The severity of tracheal perforation ranges from a small perforation to complete tracheal avulsion (tearing away of the trachea). In dogs with complete avulsion, the mediastinal tissues can help to maintain the airways.
Symptoms and Types
The following signs may occur immediately after injury or up to a week later:
- Pockets of air collected under the skin
- Respiratory distress
- Lack of appetite (anorexia)
- Lack of energy
- Gagging
- Excessive salivation (ptyalism)
- Vomiting
- Coughing
- Harsh crowing sound as dog breathes in
- Shock
Penetrating cervical (neck) wounds:
- Bite wounds
- Missiles (e.g., gunshots, arrows)
Perforation by a veterinarian (iatrogenic):
- During a transtracheal wash (a saline wash and collection of tissue and fluid through [trans] the trachea when evaluating for respiratory diseases)
- Inadvertent puncture while drawing blood, or during neck surgery
- Anesthesia and intubation procedures (to maintain an airway during anesthesia)
Blunt trauma can cause intrathoracic tracheal avulsion:
- Motor vehicle accident
- Falling from great heights
Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam on your dog, taking into account the background history of symptoms and possible incidents that might have led to this condition. A complete blood profile will be conducted, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, a urinalysis and an electrolyte panel. An arterial blood gas analysis may also be done to check oxygenation of blood. A pulse oximetry measurement may show less than normal (or even low) oxygen saturation.
Side view X-rays of the neck and chest are essential for diagnosis. Air pockets under the skin, air collection in the mediastinum, free air in the chest cavity, and potentially air in the sac around the heart will be seen with tracheal perforation. In cases of tracheal avulsion, the site of disruption may be visible. Abdominal X-rays may show a pneumoretroperitoneum -- air that has escaped into the space behind the lining of the stomach (peritoneum).
An examination of the interior walls of the trachea can be done by tracheoscopy to confirm the diagnosis of tracheal perforation and to estimate its severity. False-negative examinations can sometimes occur.
- Dogs with a tracheal perforation should be hospitalized for oxygen therapy
- It should be kept in a low-stress environment with as little stimuli as is possible
- In cases of iatrogenic perforation, healing is spontaneous as long as medical and supportive therapy are provided
- If pneumothorax develops, thoracocentesis and even thoracostomy tubes may be indicated
- Surgery is indicated if the patient does not stabilize or decompensates (the heart is unable to maintain adequate blood circulation), or if the tracheal rupture is secondary to a blunt trauma or penetrating wound
- Tracheal cutting and rejoining to another uninjured part of the trachea is indicated in cases of severe tracheal damage or tracheal avulsion
Living and Management
Your veterinarian will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing of the surgical incisions if surgery was indicated. Dogs that suffer from an avulsed trachea (one that has been torn away) and do not receive surgery may suffer sudden death. In fact, even with surgery, an animal with a repaired avulsed trachea have a guarded prognosis.
Call your veterinarian immediately if signs of redness, oozing or swelling are noted at the surgical incision site. The veterinarian should also be called immediately, on an emergency basis, if your dog begins to have difficulty breathing.
The prediction of a disease's outcome in advance
The puncturing of a hole in the wall of the chest as a means of drawing out fluid or air
An in-depth examination of the properties of urine; used to determine the presence or absence of illness
A medical condition in which gas or air collects in the pleural space
The windpipe; it carries air from the bronchi to the mouth
The membrane that covers the wall of the abdomen and pelvic area
The tearing or breaking away of a part.
Anything that is created through a method of treatment
The area in the thorax between the two lungs, where the heart, esophagus, aorta, bronchials, and thymus are located.
abdominal cavity
The space in the abdomen that holds the major digestive organs in an animal. Normally referred to as the area between the diaphragm and the pelvis. Also referred to as the peritoneal cavity.

He's the greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and MJ are neck and neck as far as skill," Durant said. "Kobe is the top two best ever in just having skill, footwork, shooting the 3, shooting the pull-up, posting up, dunking on guys and ball handling. Kobe and Jordan are 1 and 1A.- Kevin Durant on Kobe Bryant
SPORTS / Bad Jobs
1. Knicks lost by 41 but Amar'e felt great
Following the third worst loss at home in franchise history to a below average Boston Celtics team, nobody should "feel great."
But of course, when you're struggling to get ten minutes a night and you play halfway decent for the first time all year I guess it's easy to get caught up in how good you may feel. But it's an awful look from the team aspect.
Maybe you're lobbying for more playing time, but you can't be telling the media how satisfied you are in your performance. Nobody cares. It's an embarrassing loss and your 17 points means nothing to nobody.
2. Oregon tight end suspended for bowl game due to snowball fight
Pharaoh Brown wasn't the only student involved in this incident but he is the douchebag walking around with the container filled with snow and dumping it on cars and people.
Maybe you can say being suspended for a bowl game is a bit of an overreaction, but seeing Brown do that would make me want to act with more than just a simple suspension.
This isn't junior high anymore, man. You wanna toss snowballs amongst friends that's okay, but you can't be hitting random people because something bad is bound to happen to you.
3. Reporter won't vote for Winston because he had sex
Reporter Chris Elsberry doesn't just refuse to vote for Jameis Winston because of the rape charge that has now been dropped, but now he won't vote for the best player in college football because he had sex and he lacks integrity?!
What do you think goes on in today's world? Just because you probably haven't slept with more than two women without paying for them doesn't mean Winston should be frowned upon for what he does in his personal life.
The kid is a star quarterback in the state of Florida, an opportunity few get to enjoy. If he's able to have his fun within the guidelines of the law, that's none of your concern and it shouldn't affect how you view the kid.
4. Lakers video announcing Kobe's return was awful
I get what they were going for in this video, but it was horrendous.
They were better off putting together career highlights or even footage of his rehab. Those would have been far better than this brutal video that runs way too long and has nothing but a jersey flapping through the wind.
Couldn't they just have done something cool like the NBA did with Kobe's evolution.
That was nice, simple and brilliant.
5. News station remembers Nelson Mandela with A-Rod's picture
I have no idea how something like that even happens.
To get an Alex Rodriguez headshot into a Nelson Mandela graphic is mind boggling. I'm just really, really hoping the person doing that didn't think that's who Mandela was.
It's one thing if you're mixing sports and a wrong headshot gets in there by mistake, I get that. but I mean, at least plug in Colin Powell's headshot by mistake or something, at least that would have made some sort of sense.
Just a bad job of a lifetime and a disrespect to a fallen icon.

I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn't even close. Ask him, he'll tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball every day. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn't play anymore.- Kobe Bryant

by James Clear, for Business Insider
Kobe Bryant is one of the most successful basketball players of all–time. The winner of 5 NBA championships and 2 Olympic Gold Medals, Bryant has amassed a net worth of more than $200 million during his playing career.
In 2012, Bryant was selected as a member of Team USA. During this time, one of the athletic trainer's for Team USA, a man named Robert, was working with Kobe to prepare for the Olympics. In the story below, which was previously published on Reddit, Robert describes his first experience with Kobe and reveals one of the reasons the superstar has become so successful.
From Robert, trainer for Team USA:
I was invited to Las Vegas to help Team USA with their conditioning before they headed off to London. I've had the opportunity to work with Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade in the past, but this would be my first interaction with Kobe.
The night before the first scrimmage, I had just watched "Casablanca" for the first time and it was about 3:30 AM.
A few minutes later, I was in bed, slowly fading away, when I heard my cell ring. It was Kobe. I nervously picked up.
"Hey, uhh, Rob, I hope I'm not disturbing anything right?"
"Uhh, no. What's up Kob?"
"Just wondering if you could help me out with some conditioning work, that's all."
I checked my clock. 4:15 AM.
"Yeah sure, I'll see you in the facility in a bit."
It took me about twenty minutes to get my gear and get out of the hotel. When I arrived and opened the room to the main practice floor, I saw Kobe. Alone. He was drenched in sweat as if he had just taken a swim. It wasn't even 5:00 AM.
We did some conditioning work for the next hour and fifteen minutes. Then, we entered the weight room, where he would do a multitude of strength training exercises for the next 45 minutes. After that, we parted ways. He went back to the practice floor to shoot. I went back to the hotel and crashed. Wow.
I was expected to be at the floor again at about 11:00 AM.
I woke up feeling sleepy, drowsy, and pretty much every side effect of sleep deprivation. (Thanks, Kobe.) I had a bagel and headed to the practice facility.
This next part I remember very vividly. All of the Team USA players were there. LeBron was talking to Carmelo and Coach Krzyzewski was trying to explain something to Kevin Durant. On the right side of the practice facility Kobe was by himself shooting jumpers.
I went over to him, patted him on the back and said, "Good work this morning."
"Like, the conditioning. Good work."
"Oh. Yeah, thanks Rob. I really appreciate it."
"So when did you finish?"
"Finish what?"
"Getting your shots up. What time did you leave the facility?"
"Oh, just now. I wanted 800 makes. So yeah, just now."
Kobe isn't merely showing up and practicing a lot. He is practicing with purpose.
Kobe had a very clear goal at practice: 800 made jump shots. He was deliberately focused on developing the skill of making baskets. The time he spent doing it was almost an after thought. That sounds simple, but it's very different from how most of us approach our work each day.
When most people talk about working hard, they use the amount of time they worked as an indicator of how hard they worked. (i.e. "I worked 60 hours this week!")
Putting in a lot of time might make you tired, but simply working a lot (even if it's 10,000 hours over the course of your career) isn't enough to make you a top performer. It's not the same thing as practicing deliberately. Most people who think they are working hard are merely developing the skill of being in the gym, not the skill of making baskets.
To keep this basketball analogy going, consider this quote about deliberate practice…
Consider the activity of two basketball players practicing free throws for one hour. Player A shoots 200 practice shots, Player B shoots 50. The Player B retrieves his own shots, dribbles leisurely and takes several breaks to talk to friends. Player A has a colleague who retrieves the ball after each attempt. The colleague keeps a record of shots made. If the shot is missed the colleague records whether the miss was short, long, left or right and the shooter reviews the results after every 10 minutes of practice. To characterize their hour of practice as equal would hardly be accurate. Assuming this is typical of their practice routine and they are equally skilled at the start, which would you predict would be the better shooter after only 100 hours of practice?
—Aubrey Daniels
Each player in the example above could brag about practicing for one hour, but only one of them is practicing deliberately.
Researchers have noted that top performers in every industry are committed to deliberate practice. The best artists, musicians, athletes, CEOs, and entrepreneurs don't merely work a lot, they work a lot on developing specific skills. For example, Jerry Seinfeld's "don't break the chain" strategy is all about deliberately practicing the skill of writing jokes."
Mozart has been called the "genius of geniuses" and even he toiled away for 10 years before producing popular work. I don't know about you, but I find this inspiring.
I don't have the natural talent of Kobe Bryant or the sheer brilliance of Mozart, but I'm willing to put in my "10 years of silence." I've only been writing on this site for 9 months, but I see this as the beginning of a 30–year project for me. And because I'm in this for good, I can win with commitment, grit, and unwavering consistency.
You can take the same approach to your work, to your goals, and to your legacy. By combining these two ideas — the consistency of "10 years of silence" and the focus of "deliberate practice" — you can blow past most people.
On a daily basis, this doesn't have to look big or impressive. And that's good, because it will often feel like you're failing. What feels like struggle and frustration is often skill development and growth. What looks like little pay and no recognition is often the price you have to pay to discover your best work. In other words, what looks like failure is often the foundation of success.
Thankfully, just one hour of focus and deliberate practice each day can deliver incredible results over the long–run. And that brings us to the most important questions of all:
Are you working toward your 10 years of silence today? Are you deliberately focused on developing your skills? Or are you simply "putting in your time" and hoping for the best?
- James Clear
Phil Jackson's book, Eleven Rings, comes out next week. But today, Mike Bresnahan of the L.A. Times, who often tried unsuccessfully to get Jackson to compare the two, runs a few preview passages in which Jackson does exactly that.
On basketball mindsets:
"Michael was more likely to break through his attackers with power and strength, while Kobe often tries to finesse his way through mass pileups," Jackson wrote. "Michael was stronger, with bigger shoulders and a sturdier frame. He also had large hands that allowed him to control the ball better and make subtle fakes.
"Jordan was also more naturally inclined to let the game come to him and not overplay his hand, whereas Kobe tends to force the action, especially when the game isn't going his way. When his shot is off, Kobe will pound away relentlessly until his luck turns. Michael, on the other hand, would shift his attention to defense or passing or setting screens to help the team win the game."
On defense:
"No question, Michael was a tougher, more intimidating defender. He could break through virtually any screen and shut down almost any player with his intense, laser-focused style of defense.
"Kobe has learned a lot from studying Michael's tricks, and we often used him as our secret weapon on defense when we needed to turn the direction of a game. In general, Kobe tends to rely more heavily on his flexibility and craftiness, but he takes a lot of gambles on defense and sometimes pays the price."
On leadership:
"One of the biggest differences between the two stars from my perspective was Michael's superior skills as a leader," Jackson said. "Though at times he could be hard on his teammates, Michael was masterful at controlling the emotional climate of the team with the power of his presence. Kobe had a long way to go before he could make that claim. He talked a good game, but he'd yet to experience the cold truth of leadership in his bones, as Michael had."
Bryant gradually evolved during the 2008-09 championship season, when the Lakers successfully retooled with a more finessed look with Pau Gasol instead of the brute force of the Shaquille O'Neal teams.
If Bryant talked to teammates in his earlier Lakers years, it was usually, "Give me the damn ball," Jackson wrote. "But then Kobe started to shift. He embraced the team and his teammates, calling them up when we were on the road and inviting them out to dinner. It was as if the other players were now his partners, not his personal spear-carriers."
If you see me in a fight with a bear, pray for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.- Kobe Bryant (via antbrent)

My New Breast - Key Biscayne, FL
I heard of Dr. Khouri through a presentation done...
When I went to see Dr Khouri for the first time he looked at me and said" I can grow a breast for you". He instilled in me instant confidence and hope. I am still young enough and wanted this breast , so we started the procedure.
I bought the Brava Domes and started wearing it.I followed all of his recommendations and to may amazement I saw how there was a breast starting to form. It was a little hard at times because the radiation had burnt my skin and was actually stuck to my chest bone, but I must say Dr Khouri is a genius.Little by little, with lots of love and patience he did a great job building my breast.
I had several fat injections in the skin that kept expanding and before i realized I was not wearing a prosthesis any longer. I was wearing a bra, and that was WONDERFUL; I also had feeling in my breast and that! was amazing.
I still need one more procedure and then I will have finished.I look at my self in the mirror and see two breasts wow!
I love Dr Khouri because he really cares and that to me is very important. I recommend him to everyone I talk to that has gone through Breast Cancer or that has had Breast Implants, because nothing compares to this!
To me, Dr Khouri is the best and I will always remember the first time I met him. He said I will grow a breast and against all odds, he did.My skin has been heavily radiated but that din't stop him from fulfilling his promise to me. I have had many surgeries and as a general rule, surgeons are cold and just care to do their job, sort of like replacing a part. Dr. Khouri is caring and quite the opposite of any other surgeon I have met. As for my experience with Dr Khouri, I give him a 10

Miss Sky Canopy Tours
Although their office is located just before Nosara, the tour itself takes place in a pristine 2,500 acre nature reserve located in a coastal mountain range, with fantastic views to take in through out the trip. The staff, while very professional and highly trained in what they do, is also about the most fun group of people you could want to spend the day with. This crew is all smiles and will be sure to make you feel comfortable if you have any apprehensions about flying through the jungle! The tour also makes a stop at a secluded waterfall (great for a swim!) towards the end of the tour that includes a short hike as well. Here some of the guides will verse you in some of the local Costa Rican flora and fauna. For many, the canopy tour is a must-do activity while staying in Nosara, and is definitely a great way to spend a morning or afternoon.

Eric Kanagy
Whistle for Service
Reuven is whistling the correct pitch to toggle the lamp on or off.
A microphone and amplifier feed a bandpass filter that picks out the whistle tone. A second filter senses other noise and inhibits operation if there is too much. Logic gates to do the decision making and toggling are connected to a solid state relay to switch the AC power on and off.
Wireless Anti-intrusion Device (WAD)
Eric (right) is about to block the laser beam so the WAD will send a special signal on the FM transmitter.
Unit 1 has an IR motion sensor connected to a laser diode. Motion near it will turn off the beam. Unit 2 has aphotodetector to sense if the beam is turned off or if it is blocked. Either causes a tone to be sent on the FM transmitter. A second IR sensor in unit two causes a different tone to be sent. Any FM radio can be used to receive the intrusion warning signals.
Balancing Act
Matt (left) and Reuben watch as a visitor tests whether the stick can stay balanced when given a nudge.
A tall stick stands on a knife edge on a car. Their circuit uses an ultrasonic position sensor to send out a chirp 150 times per second directed at the top of the stick. The time delay of the echo is changed into a voltage representing the stick's position. A differentiator finds the velocity of the stick. With appropriate gain, the position and velocity signals are added together and used to control an RC servomotor which moves the car to keep the stick balanced.
Guitar Distortion Box
Luke plays his electric guitar through his distortion box (resting on his knee).
Several types of clipping can be switched in or out to give that fuzzy distortion that hard rockers love. An adjustable bandpass filter can further change the tone in interesting ways.
Remote Labyrinth Controller
Matt (right) watches while Biology professor tries to guide the ball through the labyrinth (foreground) by remote control.
RC servomotors are used to control the knobs of the labyrinth. They are designed to receive a pulse width modulated signal. Matt's circuit takes a voltage input from a potentiometer and creates a pulse train in which the pulse width varies according to the input voltage.
Mouse Interpreter
David Unzicker
Arthur Christoph
David (right) and Arthur designed a circuit to speak to and understand a PS/2 mouse without a computer or microprocessor.
Using simple digital logic their circuit is able to send the mouse any serial command in the PS/2 protocol. After the correct commands, the mouse then responds with packets telling about its movement and buttons all of which can be seen on an oscilloscope. The second part of the circuit to interpret and convert this data stream is yet to be built.
Reflex Timer
Jennifer Springer
Aaron Lehman
Aaron (right) explains to a visitor with her hand on the button that she must press it as soon as she sees the light come on. Jennifer is recording the reaction times.
When the tester presses the start button the circuit clears the LED displays and inititiates the random pulse generator. After a (psuedo) random time the light turns on and the counters begin counting the milliseconds. When the subject reacts and presses the stop button, the count freezes to show that person's reaction time.
Chaotic Bender Bouncer
Matt (right) ponders the chaotic output on the oscilloscope while Matt (left) looks on.
The circuit is an exact analogue of a mechanical system called a Bender Bouncer which is a mass on a spring with damping and a barrier off which it bounces. By driving the system with a periodic force at the right frequency it can be made to bounce in a way mathematicians call "chaotic". The motion of the mass is represented by a voltage which is plotted on the digital oscilloscope.

Reviewer: Kevin (, ) 9.7.2014
Great helmet!
Not the most quiet, but otherwise very nice. Room for my fat head and my glasses and some earbuds. Very pleased.
Reviewer: Jerry Rhodeback (Eureka Springs, Arkansas) 7.10.2014
At LastOne That Fits
Excellent helmet with great features. Fits very snug at 3XXX. I have a hard head to fit normally wearing a 7 7/8 hat. I strongly recommend that you order a size larger than the fit chart recommends. Helmet is a little noisy but I don't have the blue tooth cavities filled. May stuff the spaces and see what that does. This is the third helmet I ordered and the third time was a charm. I would buy this helmet again. HJC could make the face shield anti-fog. Folks at Helmet City are great to work with.
Reviewer: Greg (, ) 4.10.2013
I've worn the helmet maybe 5 or 6 times for some short rides and I have to say, it is amazing. The sizing chart was perfect, and I got my helmet nice and snug like it should be. I honestly do not have any concerns, and helmetcity had it at my door within 3 days of ordering!
Reviewer: John E. W. (Galesburg, IL) 5.25.2011
This helmet has great features and very good quality. My only complaint is the nose slot of the inside visor needs to be enlarged 1/4 inch all around.

Lorenzo Belenguer, Oct 2013, Nov 2012
"The Other Art Fair was an amazing opportunity to get exposure to a large number of people. It was extremely well organised and, in addition to selling work, I was approached by several galleries who offered to work with me". Dan Hillier, Nov 2011, May 2012, Nov 2012
"Just to say a thank you for a terrific fair. I had tons of interest – sold work and I am now busy following up gallery leads.

Caroline Hall, Oct 2013, Nov 2012
"Showing at The Other Art Fair has opened me up to more opportunities than I could have ever imagined…I was approached by Scream Gallery who invited me to show in a group exhibition of international emerging artists and Store Street Gallery who asked me to show in New York and Los Angeles".
Caroline Jane Harris, Nov 2011
"It has been a great experience. The fair was very successful. Christie's enquiring about my prices, A Swedish journalist taking photos of my stand, I may sign up with another gallery if we agree on the T&Cs, many people engaging with the work, and so much more…"
Adrian Scicluna, April 2013
"I was so pleased with the response to my work, have had increased traffic through my website and FB page, received follow up emails from art placement companies and have had messages enquiring about the work that was on show. So the outcomes were all positive, and they are definitely outcomes that would not have arisen if I had spent that money on a show at home instead".

Loved the evening hours d'oeuvres & breakfast.
Location maybe too close to noise of Interstate.
Met up with standards of a 2-3 star. It was clean with friendly employees. Easy to get to from interstate but this made it a little to noisy,and construction made it difficult to turn left when leaving. Really liked the evening snacks. Nice touch for weary travelers.

The Epson firmware surprise - tethered shooting with PhotoViewers
Sometimes you get a pleasant surprise from where you least expect it, and this time it was from a firmware update! What??? The Nikonians blog has the details.
To summarize, a new firmware update for the Epson P6000 and P7000 photo-viewers allows tethered shooting (!) with DSLRs! More details as they develop.
