About the de Pizan Honors Gala
Hundreds of events honoring women take place in this country every year. They range from top-tier, highly publicized Galas, to recognition for contributions in vertical markets, to community based award events. However, when these events are over, the Honorees and their contributions are often forgotten.
Countless women have gone unrecognized. Their accomplishments have been unheralded, and subsequently their stories have been omitted from our nation's history. A walk through any major history museum in this country will illustrate the point.
The Museum's mission is to educate the public about the women who have significantly shaped our world; the National Women's History Museum will honor history-makers to ensure that their legacy remains alive. Each year, NWHM will pay tribute posthumously to selected women with an award in their name presented to a contemporary counterpart.
The lives and contributions of the recipients of the de Pizan Honors will have a permanent presence, exhibited on the NWHM website at www.nwhm.org. Also, our current plans include a permanent display in the future Museum on the de Pizan honorees. By showcasing women from the past, we build a foundation for future generations where there will be greater respect and esteem for the many contributions women have made in every facet of our society.

JALC Men Move to Division I in Golf
Logan Media Services
CARTERVILLE – One of the premier junior college golf teams in America has a new gig.
The John A. Logan College men's golf team is shedding its Division II status in favor of Division I, effective this school year. What that means is that postseason play next spring will pit Logan against only Division 1 two-year schools. That news should be cause for great celebration amongst Region 24 coaches who no longer will have to be content with a second-place finish at the regional meet.
Why the move?
Simply put, the Volunteers have nothing left to prove in Division II. They have won the national championship twice (2009 and 2011). They have made 13 consecutive trips to the national tournament, including several second- and third-place finishes. They have claimed the Region 24 title 11 of the last 13 years.Even though there is not a great discrepancy in talent between Division I and II schools in men's golf, at least the competition will be different. Moreover, it brings the Vols in line with the other six sports at the college, all of which compete at the Division I level.
"When I came to Logan in 2000, we were established as a Division II program and all the schools in our region were the same," said JALC head coach Tom Ferris. "We actually had been a Division I program at one time and have continued to play a number of Division I two-year schools, as well as a number of Division I four-year schools, throughout the regular season."
Ferris said it was simply time for a change.
"Part of the reason why I decided we should make the move is that we've accomplished about everything we can in Division II," he said. "We've won the national title a couple of times and been in the final three the last two years. To help our student-athletes move on to four-year programs after attending school here at Logan, I thought it was in our best interest to make the change."
Ferris said the competition isn't that much different from one level to the other. In fact, in 2011 when the Vols captured their second national title, the winner in Division I was Indian Hills (Iowa), a team that Logan beat twice in regular-season play.
"It's always difficult to win a national title whether you're talking Division I, II or whatever, but overall, I don't think the competition is that different, particularly between I and II."
Ferris added that playing different schools from different parts of the country is intriguing.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge as are our kids," he said. "It was kind of a natural thing to do. I'm pretty sure there are some Division II coaches who won't be sad to see us leave."
Last year's national tournament for Division I two-year schools was held in Texas. The district qualifier was played in Alabama and has also been hosted by Kansas City.

Angel's Envy Port Barrel Finished Bourbon
Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey finished in a port pipe. This is veteran master distiller Lincoln Henderson's newest creation, and it's a beauty. Richly textured, silky, and well-rounded, with ripe berried fruits, candied tangerine, light toffee, maple syrup, and creamy vanilla, sprinkled with spice (cinnamon, hint of mint). Smooth, silky finish, and dangerously drinkable! The port pipe notes dovetail perfectly. Lovely just the way it is, but it's begging for a cigar. My only gripe: why not 45 or 50% ABV? But I'm splitting hairs. I really enjoy this stuff!

No, if Blizzard put in Pandarens, there would be NONE sold in China. This is due to China's restrictions on the display of panda bears. So China would not allow the release of it just as they blocked the release of Lich King until Blizzard hid the bones of the undead.
Anyhow Pandarens do not really exist in the Warcraft lore at all, they were created as a cross marketing stint with Panda Express around Warcraft III launch. It would be like putting cross dimensional space aliens in the gam....... errr..... nevermind...
Drakkenfyre said...
Panda Express? You mean Pandaren Xpress?
You understand that was an April Fool's joke, right? There was no cross-over tie-in with any Chinese food place.
Samwise Didier likes pandas. He drew an image of a fighting panda as a joke. He sneaks pandas into tons of stuff. Illidan's Warglaives have panda faces on the handle in WarCraft 3. He created the idea of playable Pandaren as a joke. The "Pandaren Xpress" was an April Fool's joke about being able to order Chinese food in the game. It had absolutely nothing to do with a real life restaurant.
Before you spread more misinformation, you should read up on the actual history of Pandarens.

Wine, Women And Football … And So Much More
We recently held our 4th annual Wine, Women and Football event and I am proud to share that we are growing yearly and made close to $40,000 for the Brandon Center – a shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic abuse.
If you haven't been able to make the event, put it on your calendar for next year.
It's always in October, and it's just plain old fun!
Women get together with their friends, eat some good food, enjoy great wine and get to mingle with some of their favorite Broncos players.
I think it's a special event – one of kind – because fans get up close and personal time to chat with the players.
For football fans like myself; it's memorable.
I want to thank all of you who supported the cause.
And after recently meeting a women who currently lives and calls the Brandon Center home, I have seen where your money goes – and it's a beautiful gift.
Enjoy the slideshow from the event….and click on the story from Brandon Center if you're interested in learning more.
See you next October!

"Raising Their Voices Together, Underserved Neighborhoods in New Orleans Get Heard
Nathan C. Martin. February 12, 2014
The floodwaters receding from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina not only left a destroyed city in their wake, but also an uncertain power vacuum. The government's inept response on every level opened space for entities whose motivations spanned the spectrum, from goodwill to greed, to fill the vacuum and determine the trajectory of the city's future.
The setting was ripe for disaster capitalists and others to move in and influence rebuilding efforts while the city's most important stakeholders — its residents — remained largely dispersed and traumatized. More than eight years after the storm, one can see evidence of this in the closed Charity Hospital, the first school system in the country comprised entirely of charters, the closure and demolition of all New Orleans' major public housing projects and an overall schema that tends to yield fruit to post-Katrina transplants while entrenching historical inequity that cuts along lines of class and race."

Need help with toddler room
December 22, 2012 in Design Dilemma
I recently changed few details from my princess nursery to make it a little bit toddler. I'm not sure if with what I have done so far it looks like a toddler's room.
EB Interiors
Firstly, the room can really use an area rug to soften things up and make it more cozy. Im also not loving the wall color with the flooring, pink curtains and bedding...cherry wood furniture looks great off pale green, light blue and lavendar. The mirror above the dresser/changing table seems a bit sophisticated for a toddler room, maybe something more clean line..

Too much! The cherry wood furniture is way to heavy for a primcess room. Choose a themed color room. I personally like orange beige with an old rustic look.

December 22, 2012 at 8:12PM Like
Great start! The cool gray floor color is what you are fighting. Either cover all or most of it up with a pale green carpet (the same as in the bedding), or try a large piece of sheet linoleum turned upside down and painted that lovely green. You can get a remnant of either pretty cheaply if you look around. OR, you could paint the walls the pale pink and do a smaller area rug with the green. The cool pink is ok with the current warm wall color, but not ideal. You need to change the wall or the floor color to pull this room together! I would also add two more panels to the window treatments to make it more luxurious for the little princess. :) Edit out some of your tabletop display so that the picture frame colors go with the bedding (less is more in this case!). Maybe make a new wall grouping with all the photos together, including all the pictures currently on the wall. The center of it should be about eye level. Maybe even her eye level! Remember to keep your collections together, just like you've done with the toys. :) Paint the mirror frame silver or something not-so-dark, but keep it where it is- you've done a nice job balancing it with the lamp on that vignette, as well as your wall decals on the princess bed wall. She is going to love her new big-girl room! Good luck!

PlayStation Move Heroes from one time Starcraft Ghost developer Nihilistic isn't a multiplayer brawler or an action platformer. It almost feels like a series of mini-games arranged as levels.

Now Is the Time to Buy This Internet Giant
By Mark Yagalla - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SOHU
The Chinese Internet landscape is dominated by a handful of companies. They are fighting one another to consolidate their positions to capture the greatest opportunity of them all -- the Chinese web user. In our lifetime, I feel that China offers investors the greatest investment opportunity. The best company to invest in to capture this growth in China is Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU).

Baidu: Why Now Is The Time To Buy
By Daniel Murray - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SOHU, TCEHY.PK

By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 7, 2013 | Tickers: CIEN, FWLT, SINA, SOHU, SWC
We track 13F filings from hedge funds and other notable investors as part of our work researching investment strategies, and one of our findings has been that the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds outperform the S&P 500 by an average of 18 percentage points per year.

These 3 Charts Explain Why This Giant Is in Trouble
By Chad Henage - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU, SOHU
The only thing more certain than death and taxes is change. This seems to be particularly true when it comes to Chinese companies. Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) stock has been absolutely crushed on concerns about new competition from companies like Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU), and slowing growth. I've owned Baidu in the past, and my initial reaction to these threats was to dismiss them out of hand. Baidu is the more »

By Meena Krishnamsetty - March 21, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, SINA, SOHU, YNDX
Concerns over the Chinese economy and a pattern of accounting irregularities at Chinese companies have caused declines in a number of Chinese stocks in the last year.

Can Sina's Business of Censored Free Speech Survive?
By Leo Sun - February 24, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, SINA, SOHU |
The very existence of Sina Corp. (NASDAQ: SINA), the Chinese Internet portal site that created microblogging site Weibo, is a paradox.
Weibo, which is widely regarded as "China's Twitter," depends on the rapid exchange of freely expressed ideas. Yet the company is based in authoritarian China, in one of its most highly oppressed growth industries -- Internet technology. For every two steps Sina takes forward, it must take one back more »

While I was going to categorize many offline notes that I have about Rescatux about bugs I thought again about current bugs versions.
I have added a note in the Rescatux wiki about the new bug versions.
- version-beta: E.g. 0.32-beta are errors only found on beta versions
- version: E.g. 0.32 are errors only found in stable versions
- version-freeze: E.g. 0.32-freeze are error only found on beta versions that we have decided need to be addressed in order to release its associated stable version.
Unfortunately in order to see what are these affected bugs you need to have an account in Cenatic and then build an advanced query inside the Rescatux Bugs tracker. This is not bad because you can create an account in Cenatic Forge whenever you want to.
The purpose in this versioning change is knowing what it's the minimal set of bugs that need to be solved so that I can release new Rescatux as an stable release. And, at the same time, not having to take care manually of a roadmap.
Feature requests are still present and are not affected by this version renaming.

Not really much of a Masters Of Evil is it though? I got quite excited by the Title, but then realised it's pretty much just Doctor Doom and the Sinister Six (which would be an awesome name for a band), with Chameleon replacing Electro. Although, judging by the art style and costumes (and the fact that appears to be Sergei rather than Alyosha, Ana or Vladimir) it appears this is a Marvel Adventures title? Which could be quite an interesting move (the younger audience focused line having a villain centric title).

text: 9. Since the domestication of pigs, outdoor systems have been an important part of pig production. As far back as the 9th century, pigs were reported to be kept in large groups to scavenge for food in the forests. In the 18th century, the increase in population and the enclosure of land encouraged greater control over pig production. This led firstly to the cottager's sty and eventually to the intensive housing based industry we have today.

This cheesecake tastes great and does not take a long time to make. I did make a few changes from the instructions; I used low fat sour cream and cream cheese instead of non-fat and mixed it with a mixer instead of a food processer. I topped it with fresh raspberries. My guests said it was delicious and I would definitly make this again for company or to bring to a potluck. It is easy enough for an everyday dessert as well.

SCCS Support Southampton University on their Constructionarium Event
SCCS – The Survey Equipment Company are proud to have recently supported Southampton University with their Constructionarium project at the secure site in Bircham Newton in Norfolk.
Started over ten years ago, Constructionarium provides a practical construction experience allowing both students and professionals to construct scaled down versions of buildings, bridges, dams and other engineering developments. The project is aimed to link educational institutions with the construction industry and to make sure that students are able to relate their understanding gained in a practical and relevant environment.
SCCS provided both technical experience and knowledge along with surveying equipment including Leica TS06plus Total Stations during the 5 day event.
"We are happy to support Southampton University on this event and feel it is important to invest in the future of education within the UK Civil Engineering industry."
Richard Gregg, Construction Manager at SCCS
"Thanks once again for supporting us during the 2014 Constructionarium"

Moving monitoring forward
The complexities of setting up Crossrail's large monitoring programme
By Steve Thurgood MCInstCES, Monitoring Solutions Consultant at SCCS.
In July 2011, Costain and Skanska working as a joint venture (CSJV) were awarded Crossrail contract C405 to complete the main civil engineering works for the new Crossrail station at Paddington. The station will be built underground below Eastbourne Terrace and adjacent to the southwestern elevation of the existing mainline terminus station.
The new station construction area is surrounded by English Heritage grade I listed buildings which form the existing station along one side and modern office buildings on the other. The entire area is in a densely built up zone of the centre of London with mixed commercial and residential buildings.
The respective heads of the engineering surveying departments for the parent companies reviewed the construction sequencing and methodology, and decided to undertake all of the engineering surveying for the construction phases. The team also decided that the parent companies would install, run, operate and maintain large parts of the instrumentation and monitoring (I&M) schemes that were required in the client specification, rather than subcontracting the works out to an I&M specialist.

Amberg Technologies Develops Unique Rail Surveying System
Fast, exact and cost-efficient: Amberg Technologies, the Swiss specialist for railway and tunnel surveying, is expanding the well-tried rail surveying system GRP System FX with the new Amberg IMS 1000 and Amberg IMS 3000 system configurations. These configurations provide reliable and highly precise geometry information during the construction and maintenance of railway track systems – while achieving unparalleled productivity.
IMS 1000 and IMS 3000 measure the inner and outer rail geometry of ballast tracks and slab tracks using a new, high-performance sensor – the (IMU). Measuring 4000 metres of track per hour, the system's performance is twice as high as of devices available on the market today. It furthermore ensures that the track will be measured reliably by providing a typical positional accuracy of ±1mm. "With this system we set a new standard for the speed for hand-pushed measurement carts while nevertheless achieving greatest accuracies", explains Marius Schäuble, Product Manager Rail at Amberg Technologies. The IMS 1000 / IMS 3000 software processes the measurement data, analyses the quality of the track and reports the deviations to a design centerline. Correction data for tamping machines can also be generated directly. Advantage for the system's users: the greater productivity and accuracy during track measurement reduces costs, enables efficient track maintenance and thus contributes significantly to the quality and safety of railway lines.
The new IMU technology replaces the tachymeter for measuring track geometry and therefore only requires a single measurement cart, operated by a single operator only. Until now, up to four persons were required for comparable track geometry surveys. The "Track Sprinter" also requires only little logistical effort and can be used flexibly and at short notice. Consequence: the costs for track geometry surveying decrease up to 90 per cent compared to traditional methods.
Unique Monitoring Project
SCCS are currently providing instruments, equipment and technical expertise for a unique project at an exclusive London location monitoring Grade 1 listed buildings and the Thames Wall. This year long project will involve monitoring twenty four hours a day with a Leica Nova TM50 tracking data from thirty prisms and five under water tilt meters. This will provide constant data and essential information on any movements found along the Thames Wall whilst tunnelling is carried out beneath the river. All communications link back to SCCS through a custom built communications hub for analysis on a GeoMoS Monitor.
SCCS New Facility Steel Work
SonarMite Hydrographic Echo Sounders
SCCS are proud to announce a partnership with Ohmex to supply the SonarMite range of hydrographic echo sounders.
The SonarMite is the world's first survey grade echo sounder to be truly portable and to use Bluetooth technology to communicate directly with the Leica 'Viva' controller. The single beam echo sounder fits on to the surveyors' detail pole and acts as a rod extension providing an easy to use method to survey rivers, lakes and estuaries using existing kit and software. The instrument is currently being used extensively in the UK for river surveys in conjunction with Leica robotic total stations and bespoke 4Site software from AiC.
SCCS are currently the largest European distributor of Leica Geosystems equipment and already offer a comprehensive range of professional services. Ohmex and SCCS have identified an ongoing need for short term or occasional use of Ohmex SonarMite equipment by existing Leica users. SCCS have therefore added a full range of SonarMite Hydrographic Echo Sounders to their hire fleet to provide an extensive SonarMite hire service .
SonarMite Main Features

After getting off to a hot start to the season, the Michigan Wolverines have not been on the track to finish they way they wanted to. At a time, it seemed as if they were on a collision course with the Ohio State Buckeyes in their annual rivalry game at the end of the season that may decide the Big Ten, or even the national championship.
Instead, after winning their first five games, they've lost three of their last four and have not been able to run the ball with any success whatsoever. In the loss to Michigan State a few weeks ago, they finished the game with an astonishing -48 yards rushing.
For this, offensive coordinator Al Borges and the rest of the Wolverines coaching staff has taken a lot of the heat.
Today, on College GameDay, they got some of that heat from one of their own.
While speaking about the woes of the team, former Heisman winner Desmond Howard seemed none too pleased with the performance of his alma mater's offense. He made light of the fact that Borges is the third-highest paid coordinator in the nation and said that this "foolishness has got to end."

South Georgia package stores are ready for one of their busiest times of the year.
Many people ring in the New Year with a few drinks.
Liquor stores expect a lot of customers over the next few days, especially on New Year's Eve.
But the owner of Top Shelf Wine and Spirits says he doesn't make as much money as you might expect at the end of the year.
"Around this time of year, things pick up pretty well. Normally on New Year's Eve business doubles, but it kind of evens out because we're closed New Year's Day. And the same with Christmas so everything kind of balances out. So I would say business is about the same once you balance everything out."
The statewide zero tolerance campaign to crack down on impaired drivers continues.
Officers urge you to have a designated driver if you'll be out drinking to celebrate.

Moore's Law is very much alive, according to Intel Senior Fellow, Mark Bohr. He gave me a tour of Intel's newest 45 nanometer fab. This is a very rare look inside Intel's newest fab that'll make processors you'll be buying in computers later this year. In this tour you'll see workers putting on their "bunny suits", hear why cleanliness is so important, and hear what these new chips will do. Mark claims this fab puts Intel one to two years ahead of its competitors. Why is that? Because they are getting rid of Silicon Dioxide dielectrics. What does that mean? Well, watch the video and you'll see the secret to Intel's new 45 nanometer chips. Wikipedia, has a good page on High-K dielectrics, which is what Intel s moving to, in order to make processors generate less heat, take less power, all while having more transistors than last year's designs. Intel has the world's first High-K metal gate architecture and it's all due to this fab. Thanks to Intel for giving me a great look behind the scenes here. What does this mean for you? These chips will bring you about 20 percent more performance.

April 05, 2001, 12:43 PM — Combining voice and data traffic over the same WAN connection is in theory a good idea. But if the practice were simple, everyone would be doing it.
Integrated access services that support voice and data on one dedicated line are more widely available today than 18 months ago, but only two service providers have national offerings. Sprint was first, with its Integrated On-Demand Network (ION) service announced in 1998, and AT&T followed several months later with its Integrated Network Connect Service (INCS).
Neither has proven all that popular.
Sprint ION and AT&T INCS are similar in that each includes a carrier-owned customer premises device that connects to a user's LAN and voice switch. The device, a Cisco router in both cases, sends that traffic over a dedicated WAN connection. Both companies claim customers can reduce costs by 3% to 20% because users are reducing the number of dedicated lines they need. But that's where the similarities end.
INCS customers access AT&T's ATM network via frame relay connections. ION customers are connecting via ATM, but Sprint is also offering customers alternative access services whereas AT&T is not. Sprint offers multiple flavors of ION that support DSL for small and remote office workers who may not need 1.544M bit/sec worth of bandwidth. AT&T says it's developing DSL access to INCS.
"We will have DSL in 90 to 100 markets by the end of next year," says Greg Gordon, director of enterprise WAN marketing at Sprint. The carrier now offers DSL access in 12 markets.
Sprint is ahead of AT&T from a DSL perspective, but AT&T also has a leg up on Sprint because INCS customers are using dynamic bandwidth allocation. Both services let customers dedicate a specific amount of bandwidth to voice traffic and the remainder to data traffic. INCS lets customers automatically burst data traffic, borrowing voice bandwidth if it is not being used. AT&T is deploying Cisco 3810v3 devices at customer sites. The device includes Cisco software that supports dynamic bandwidth allocation that's not available in the standard off-the-shelf 3810, says Lisa Pierce, an analyst with Giga Information Group.
Sprint ION does not offer users dynamic bandwidth allocation although it was one of the benefits the company cited when launching its service.
"Today, users set up a [permanent virtual circuit] for voice service and they can change that, but it's not set up so that data can burst into that voice bandwidth," Gordon says.
Fully managed integrated access is not the only attraction users find in these services.

At Homicide, Holley bounds up to Landsman, pronouncing that they've got a line on the serial killer. "The goof actually called?" Landsman says disbelievingly, and that's McNulty's cue to walk by casually -- perhaps a little too casually. "Hey," he says. "What did I miss?" Oh, I'm guessing you can probably fill in the blanks yourself there, buddy.
Back at the Sun, Klebanow and Whiting are debriefing Templeton about this
first latest phone call from the serial killer -- it's worth noting that Gus is hanging back, seated as far away from Templeton as possible while still able to participate in the conversation. His body language also suggests profound disinterest, especially considering the henny-penny way that Templeton is carrying on. "He went off on tangent," Templeton is explaining. "Said he wanted to bite me." "What?" Whiting says. "Bite you how?" Longingly? Lovingly? Just a little nibble? Spare Whiting no salacious details while he pours himself another cocktail and dims the lights to get in the mood. Klebanow asks if Templeton is saying that killer threatened him. You know, it's possible Templeton misheard, and what the killer actually said was "Bite me" -- that's a totally understandable sentiment given whom he was conversing with. Anyhow, before I can heap more abuse on Templeton, his phone rings again. And what's waiting for him is a picture of a homeless man. Hey! We've met that guy!
Credits. You know, I realize that I'm supposed to keep the devil down in his hole, but your lyrics are remarkably skimpy on suggestions as to how. Thanks for nothing, Tom Waits.
"They don't teach it in law school," says Pearlman. What don't they teach? Flamenco dancing? The lost art of dueling? Crocheting? I bet you it's crocheting.
At downtown office, Clay Davis is seeking legal representation and not having much luck at it. "I don't pick so much as a single juror," the attorney explains, "without the full amount of my fee being paid. If you want Billy Murphy on your case, you've got to pay to put him there." For the remainder of this scene, I shall have to consult my Clay Davis bullshit-to-English dictionary: "I've got a taste for you up front," Clay says. "A good five-figure taste." (Translation: "I am a little short on funds right now. Would this modest retainer do?") "Right now with the sword hanging over my head, I don't have the kind of financial support at my disposal that I would ordinarily be able to rely upon. You feel?" (Translation: "Because of my current legal woes, I am no longer able to con people at of money as prodigiously as I have before. Alas.") "They thinking short when they should be thinking long. Shameful shit." (Translation: "They underestimate my chances of beating this rap. How disgraceful of them.") Anyhow, Clay offers Murphy $25,000 plus another $25,000 once a jury is seated; Murphy rejects this, saying he doesn't work that way. "I know you don't, partner," Clay cheerily replies. "I know you don't." (Translation: "Uhhhh... gotta think fast. Gotta think fast.") "And normally, I wouldn't dream of asking you to suit up for game day, with my tab as it is." (Translation: "Hey, handsome! That's right! I'm talking to you! The handsome guy!") Murphy makes his final offer: $200,000 once he extricates Clay from this mess. "And Clay," Murphy adds, "Don't fuck me. Don't even think about fucking me out of a single part of that fee." You've got a better chance of seeing that $200,000, buddy. "You talk as if you don't know me," Clay protests. (Translation: "Shit! He knows me.") "My brother, let's be fair," Clay counters. "I'm providing you with the opportunity to go head-to-head with the state's attorney in a case that's going to be front page news. For all that profile, sheeeeeee-it, partner, you should be paying me a fee." (Translation: "Perhaps the publicity you gather from this case will be of some comfort after I fuck you out of that fee.") Murphy smiles: save your bullshit for the witness stand, my man, you got yourself an attorney. Billy Murphy, by the way, is portrayed by Billy Murphy, and that bodes ill for State's Attorney Bond. Generally speaking, high-profile lawyers don't agree to cameos on television programs only to lose in Act III. I'm pretty sure they do teach at least that in law school.

Deriving the boltzmann factors
|Share this thread:
Mar9-12, 12:20 PM
My classmate has already asked about this I think, but since I can't find the post I'll ask again..
Take a single atom with degenerate energy levels E1, E2 etc. We place the atom in a resevoir and want to find the probability of probability for finding the atom in the different energy states. So we note that the ratio of probabilities must be the ratio of the multiplicities for the heat resevoir corresponding to the energy levels. Thus we have:
p2/p1 = Ω2/Ω1
which using S = kln(Ω) can be written as:
p2/p1 = exp((S2-S1)k)
Invoking the thermodynamic identity using dS = -(U2-U1)/T we get:
p2/p1 = exp(-(U2-U1)kT)
and we have arrived at the boltzmann factors, which only depend on temperature. For me this is a fantastic result, but I just wish, that I understood it. In my view, it should somehow depend on the characteristica of the resevoir such as how many particles and energy it stores. - these do after all determine the multiplicity!!! Let's take an example:
Let's say you have an resevoir with an energy of 1010J. If our atom is excited to a state with higher energy it "steals" some energy from the resevoir. But this energy portion is tiny compared to the total energy, and thus the multiplicity of the resevoir shouldn't reduce significantly. But if you calculate the ratio of the boltzmann factors at 300K for the ground state in hydrogen and the first state, you get that the probability of finding the atom in the ground state is overwhelmingly more probable - another way of saying that the multiplicity for the ground state system is far bigger. How is this possible when the multiplicities are almost the same from my logic?!?!?!?!

Blu-ray Review: 'Cowboys & Aliens' Has Little Fun With High ConceptSubmitted by mattmovieman on December 7, 2011 - 6:37am
CHICAGO – For all of its ambition and integrity, Jon Favreau's "Cowboys & Aliens" is a dull genre exercise devoid of charm or wit. Whereas "Iron Man" got a great deal of mileage out of Robert Downey Jr.'s deadpan persona, this sci-fi/western hybrid is marred by its two one-note leads: the morose Daniel Craig and the snarly Harrison Ford. Viewers expecting a "Bond meets Indy" lark a la "The Last Crusade" will be sorely disappointed.

CHICAGO – "Zookeeper" is a weird, weird movie. It was heavily advertised as a family film about talking animals but it's more of a Kevin James romantic comedy and even features some dark material about the treatment of animals. In other words, it's wildly inconsistent and sometimes just strange. Any movie that can feature a Gorilla getting a brain freeze at TGIFridays next to a standard romantic comedy love triangle next to an abuse subplot straight out of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a weird, weird movie. James and Rosario Dawson are so incredibly likable that they keep it watchable but the movie just never clicks because it never picked an audience and, therefore, satisfies none of them.
