Hands-on Activity: Measuring Lava Flow
Educational Standards :
Pre-Req Knowledge (Return to Contents)
A mathematical understanding of surface area and volume. The definitions of viscosity and slope. Background knowledge in lava flows and volcanoes, as presented in the associated How Far Does a Lava Flow Go? lesson.
Learning Objectives (Return to Contents)
After this activity, students should be able to:
Materials List (Return to Contents)
Each group needs:
For the teacher to demonstrate the procedure:
Introduction/Motivation (Return to Contents)
Do you know anyone who lives near a volcano? Would you want to live near a volcano? What happens to the towns and communities near volcanoes when they erupt? (Take suggestions from students. Possible answers: The area surrounding the volcano would contain fire, explosions, noise, ash, heat, wind and lava in the air, water and land near people's homes and activities, affecting their breathing, comfort, shelter, water and food supplies, and safety.)
Does everyone know what lava is? (Answer: Lava is extremely hot molten rock mixed with dissolved gasses from the Earth's core that reaches the planet's surface.) Some erupting volcanoes spew lava in violent bursts, which results in steep-sloped volcano shapes. Others release great quantities of lava that spew forth in rivers, like streams, producing gently-sloping volcanoes.) What is lava like? What is its state of matter? (Liquid) How fast does it move? How far does it move? How thick does it cover the surface? Let's find out more about the factors that determine how far a lava flow goes.
Today you will be experimenting with how volume, viscosity and slope affect the surface area that a liquid, like lava, covers. (As necessary, make sure students understand the three factors: volume, viscosity, slope.) We will use liquid soap to represent volumes of molten hot lava (but you can touch it, of course!). Some groups will experiment with viscosity by also using salt and water to investigate this property. Other groups will investigate the effect of various sloped surfaces on the lava spread. Volcano shapes are different from each other and different landscape slopes affect how a liquid flows over it. For all groups, your lava (soap) will flow over a transparency with1-cm squares printed on it, which represents your volcano. You will record the surface area that your lava covers by pouring it onto the grid transparency and counting the covered squares. Partial squares should be added up to whole squares using your best guesses.
(Demonstrate the basic experiment and measurement process to students by using an overhead projector with a grid transparency, or gathering students around a table. Pour a small amount of liquid soap, wait for it to stop spreading, and then count the covered squares [adding up partial squares] to determine the surface area covered by the lava.)
By understanding these factors as they apply to liquid soap (representing lava), we can understand how the properties of liquids are used in the real world, just as engineers do.
Vocabulary/Definitions (Return to Contents)
Procedure (Return to Contents)
This activity simulates volcanoes and lava flows. It is suggested that this activity be conducted in conjunction with its associated lesson, How Far Does a Lava Flow Go?
Students teams use liquid soap and plastic grid paper to simulate and measure lava flows. To begin this activity, students are asked to form hypotheses on how the factors of volume, slope and viscosity may affect the surface area that a liquid covers. Then they test their hypotheses through experimentation. They determine surface area by counting the number of grid squares that the liquid soap covers, adding together partial boxes to make wholes.
The equation for the surface area of a square is useful for this lesson: surface area = side length2.
At the end of the activity, students are asked to "become" geochemical engineers to think of ways to slow down, divert or halt lava flows. In a concluding discussion, they see how the properties of liquids that they learned about are applicable to other real-life scenarios.

Assessment (Return to Contents)
Pre-Activity Assessment
Warm-Up Questions: Ask students the following questions:
Activity Embedded Assessment
Experimentation and Data Collection: Make sure that groups have written down on their Measuring Lava Flow Worksheets their hypotheses on how volume, viscosity or slope will affect the surface area that their lava (soap) covers. Make sure students record their data in their own data tables and write it on the classroom board for other teams to copy down. Have students examine the data to determine the relationships between surface area and volume, viscosity and slope, and describe these on their worksheets. Have them also state whether their group's hypothesis was supported or not.
Post-Activity Assessment
Class-Wide Analysis of Results & Discussion: Ask the students and discuss as a group the following questions. Ask for volunteers from each group to describe their results.
Activity Extensions (Return to Contents)
Test the effect of temperature on surface area by having some groups use heated liquid soap. Carefully heat the soap in a microwave for about 10 seconds before pouring it on a transparency.

In recent years, I've received many emails from people who stumbled upon my blog and wanted to learn more about managing the gluten-free diet in Shanghai/China. These people include people traveling to and/or living in China. I'm glad this blog has served its purpose (reason why I started this blog many years ago), if only I had more time to keep it updated and add more useful information. That's the challenge of being a full-time working mom.
In any case, one popular request I get is where to buy gluten-free flours. Import stores like CityShop and Pines do carry some packaged gluten-free mix but at an exortbitant price (80-100RMB per package!). For lack of alternatives, many people bite the bullet and pay the price. I actually grind my own gluten-free flours from whole grain using a Vitamix. While the Vitamix is an expensive investment (8000+ RMB for both the wet and dry blade), the long-term cost savings of grinding your own flours is worth it for anyone planning to live in China for a few years.
For those who can't afford to buy a Vitamix or don't plan to stay in China for a long time, I started grinding gluten-free flours for anyone who requests them. Actually, I ask my ayi to do the grinding. You'll need to cover the cost of the grain plus the time it takes for my ayi to grind/sift them. It's about 20RMB per medium-sized ziplock bag. And you'll need to pick them up from my place. (I live in Pudong in the Zhangjiang neighborhood)
Flours available:
- brown rice flour
- sorghum flour
- millet flour
- buckwheat flour
Send me your request via the Contact Me form. Include your email address, what flours and how many bags you want. I'll get back to you regarding approximate time the flours will be ready for pick up.

Makola is an African startup company with the goal of being a one-stop shopping destination for African products. As students in school, we found it very difficult to find basic African products online. We later discovered that this was most likely because most of the local African markets are run by our mothers and aunts and other first generation immigrants who may not be as tech savvy as the current generation. Makola.com seeks to bridge that divide. (via Timbuktu Chronicles: Online Shopping at Makola)

The Indians are bargain hunting this offseason
The Indians are bargain hunting this offseason
The IPI's Jim Pete takes a look Kevin Youkilis, Jason Bay, and Melky Cabrera, three of the free agent options on the market that the Indians have been mostly tied to in the early going this offseason. As of now, there are only two teams that appear interested in Bay, and that's Boston and Cleveland. Bay says that he wants a familiar setting, so the Terry Francona-led Indians would seem to be a fit in that regard, so it's a possibility that Bay could end up with the Indians. Youkilis has been able to drive up the price for the simple fact that there just aren't many third base options out there. The Indians wouldn't be looking at Youkilis for their third base slot, but he does give them an amazing amount of flexibility as he would become the primary first baseman and could also get time at third base and designated hitter. Cabrera is not the perfect option as he doesn't provide the Indians with a power stick that they covet. He's also not the "right-handed hitter" that they need, although he is a switch hitter.

paidContent :: Thought: Maybe AMC Networks shouldn't have waited until Dish Network actually pulled its channels off its service to take this punch. But punch the cable programmer did just after midnight Eastern time, releasing a statement that doesn't beat around the bush. The upshot: Dish's decision to end carriage of AMC, IFC and WE TV has little to do with proposed carriage-rate increases and everything to do with an ongoing $2.5 billion breach-of-contract suit currently standing between the two companies.

Where's your sense of adventure? It can be found FREE at the Cornish Playhouse on December 8, where the keys have been handed over to students for PlāHaüs.
What's going to happen at the Playhouse this Sunday, December 8, at 5:30 p.m.? No one exactly knows. A top flight theater facility — under it's new name The Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center — is being handed over to a band of student curators to see what they can make of it. More than 30 works have been selected for installation: visual art, performances, videos and heaven-only-knows-what. The exhibition (for lack of a better word) is called PlāHaüs, a fitting re-imagining of the word "playhouse" given that the very purpose of the spaces in the Playhouse are being re-imagined. Music, dance and visual art installations will be included in Cornish's first full building take-over of the Playhouse's public spaces. PlāHaüs promises to be half party, half anarchy, half art exhibit, and that's half again bigger than anything that has ever been in the theater. Whatever it will be, it will be it for one long day only, from 5:30 p.m to 11:00 p.m on the 8th (yes, there are in-out privileges). It will be big, it will be sprawling and it will be free of charge. That's right, the whole darn über- ëxperience of PlāHaüs is frëë.
PlāHaüs is presented by iET+I, the brand new Institute of Emergent Technology + Intermedia at Cornish. iET+I is an entity of research, support, and community interface. iET+I's purpose is to educate and inspire anyone from any Cornish department to explore emergent technologies and interdisciplinary art making. The institute's artists-in-residence, The Pendleton House, will be a major contributor. The student-curators for the event are Sean McNally, Makenzie Stone, Toby Warren, Marissa Sohn, Amy Kim, and Jade Highleyman, along with Cornish professor Bob Campbell, for iET+I. With the artists of The Pendleton House involved, it means that the evening will represent the teamwork of students, alumni and faculty.
The origins of PlāHaüs were in the spring term. "We originally had a digital video event called Digitize Me which was a showing of digital work from the Cornish Community," says PlāHaüs spokescurator Sean McNally. "Last year was not much of a success so we wanted to completely revamp the idea of a student curated exhibition of student work." Now, with the the great spaces of the Cornish Playhouse in hand, they are ready to try again.
McNally is excited about the prospect of bringing the Cornish Playhouse to life. "The biggest impact to facilitate this change was us being given the Cornish Playhouse for an evening. As soon as we saw this space we knew we had our work cut out for us. We want to show everyone that we belong at the Playhouse."
Students from every discipline taught at Cornish were invited to participate. The posters and teaser images for PlāHaüs — the crazy prints of Nosferatu that sprang up on every wall — were produced by design students. The preview videos (see in the slide show above) were the work of Bob Campbell's video class.
The artists exhibiting work are Diego Suarez, Taylor Bednarz, Sarah Sprouse, Rosemary Pendleton McGeady, Michelle Domanowski, Debby Betz, Sean Sullivan, Derrick Lee, Marissa Sohn, Cameron Fletcher, Makena Gadient, Chelsea Rodino, Colleen McNeary, Ariana Bird, Bristol Hayward-Hughes, Lauren MacDonald, Ivana Kartzov, Jade Highleyman, Kendra Boblett, Elsa Spencer, Chuck Sheaffer's "Creating Digital Drama Ensomble", Becca Detwiler, Annieo Klass, Amy Kim, Toby Warren, Matt Matsuda, Rachel Larkin, Brigitte d' Autremont, Alyssa Tanner, and a few more that still have to be finalized.

Tonight the power was out for about forty minutes. Was actually quite nice to sit with the candles lit without the blaring glare of the tv for a change. Slightly less good on the hot beverage front. It is only at times like this I regret getting an induction hob. When we go visiting and try cooking on gas now we can't believe how long it takes.
Seems there was a huge power spike around 9pm in Pudsey. Maybe had something to do with the final of a certain
piece of crap "talent"contest that I refuse to utter the name of.
Being able to see the stars tonight seemed very fitting on the day Sir Patrick Moore passed away. Rest in peace stargazer.

Nobel Prize in Medicine goes to three American researchers
The groundbreaking research of three U.S. scientists who have solved the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system has been recognized this week with the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The three Americans—James E. Rothman, PhD, Randy W. Schekman, PhD, and Thomas C. Südhof, MD—were announced Monday as the joint winners of this year's award. The findings could have a great impact on the understanding and treatment of numerous neurological and immunological disorders and diseases.
The cell transport system looks at how each cell produces and exports molecules, which are moved around the cell in small packages called vesicles. The three Nobel Laureates have discovered the molecular principles that govern how this cargo is delivered to the right place at the right time:
- Schekman discovered a set of genes required for vesicle traffic.
- Rothman unraveled protein machinery that allows vesicles to fuse with their targets to permit transfer of cargo.
- Dr. Südhof determined how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision.
These discoveries have had a major impact on the understanding of how cargo (insulin, for instance) is delivered with timing and precision within and outside the cell. The system is critical for a variety of physiological processes in which vesicle fusion must be controlled, ranging from signaling in the brain to release of hormones and immune cytokines. Defective vesicle transport can be seen in a variety of neurological and immunological disorders as well as a rapidly growing affliction of modern society: diabetes.
As researchers continue this important work on the cellular level, the AMA also is working to prevent type 2 diabetes and heart disease and improve outcomes for people suffering from them.

Background Edit
Susan is born to the sister of Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, who stood as godmother to her. At sometime before 1913, Susan visited Downton Abbey.[1]
Season OneEdit
Violet mentions that Susan has not been to Downton in some time since she forgot the layout of the house when Susan writes to Violet about gossip circulating in London about Mary carrying Kemal Pamuk's corpse the length of Downton Abbey by herself.
Season TwoEdit
In 1916, Vera Bates used John Bates's name to get a job with Susan. Vera tricked Susan's lady's maid into telling her about Kemal Pamuk dying in Mary Crawley's bed whilst having sex and Anna Bates helped Mary cover it up. Vera later goes to Downton Abbey after her mother-in-law's death and uses this information to blackmail her estranged husband to come back to London to live with her in his mother's home.
In 1917, Violet inquired as to the health of her niece when she rang Hugh in order to get William moved from the infirmary in Leeds to Downton Abbey.
Season ThreeEdit
In Episode 3.08, Violet states that Susan is her godchild and that she and Hugh could not travel to Scotland - as they intended to - until July 1921 because Hugh's work "keeps him nailed to his desk." So Susan asked Violet to let Rose stay with her for a while. She says it is because Rose hates London, but it is later revealed that Rose has taken up with a married man. When Violet later contacts Susan to tell her that Rose had gotten back to London to see him, she makes arrangements for Rosé to go to the Scotland early with a stodgy aunt.
By September 1921, the relationship between Hugh and Susan has become frosty due to them "living together too long" and "becoming bored", and the two of them are in a bitter "war of words". Her relationship with Rose has grown extremely bitter, and she continously puts Rose down and criticizes her ways.
She later confides in Cora that she is finding Rose "an education" for her. She tells Cora that Hugh wants Rose to stay at Downton while they are in India. She asks Cora to speak to Rose of her well from time to time, and as for her and Hugh she remarks "We'll soldier on" even if she wished it.
Series FourEdit
Not only has Susan gone to India, but Sarah O'Brien has gone with her. Cora is upset that Susan would steal her lady's maid from her.
Rose later maliciously states that she wants to see her mother's face "crumble" when she tells her that she is in love with Jack Ross, a black man, and plans to marry him. Mary later remarks to Ross that Rose greatly dislikes her mother and feels that she is motivated to marry him primarily to shock her rather than love for him.
The Prince of Wales was later hosted by her and Shrimpie after they arrived in India, which he mentions when Rose is presented before him and his father King George V in 1923.
Susan is neurotic and pugnacious, especially with her daughter. Her husband finds himself unable to like these aspects of her personality and they have a very frosty relationship partly due to this. However, she understands duty and married her husband for that reason. She does at one point show a caring and sympathetic side when talking to Cora about her marriage and Rose.
Relationships Edit
Hugh MacClareEdit
Susan and Hugh married out of a sense of duty rather than love when they were young, and then after their older children got married the two realized how little they had in common. Their relationship grew frosty and sharp; they argue a lot, especially about their youngest daughter, Rose.
Rose MacClareEdit
Susan worries constantly about Rose, telling Cora that sometimes she is thinking about her before she opens her eyes in a morning. Her relationship with Rose has become very strained, with Susan's worry showing itself in almost constant criticism of Rose and how she acts, dresses and talks.
Sarah O'BrienEdit
Frustrated with her own lady's maid Wilkins, Susan requests help from O'Brien in shaping her hair to be like Cora's. She immediately begins lavishing O'Brien with attention and praise. They discuss traveling, and in the end, O'Brien leaves Downton and Lady Grantham in the middle of the night without a word beforehand, to be Susan's maid.

- "We weren't expecting male company."-Susan to Hugh at the ladies luncheon.
- "But you are my mother's sister. You should jolly well be on my side" - Susan to Violet on a walk.
- "Sometimes I find myself worrying about Rose before I open my eyes" - Susan to Cora after the Ball.
- "Wilkins pay close attention."- Susan to her maid Miss Wilkins about how to sculpt her hair
- "We're not quite there yet." - To Miss O'Brien about her hair at the Ball.

Soccer Schools
For the best time with a football outside of Goodison Park, why not sign your child up to take part in Everton in the Community's Soccer School?
Run by trained coaches from the Club, the Soccer Schools offer young people the chance to develop their skills and learn new techniques in a safe, fun environment.
Children will be taught skills and techniques that have kept Premier League stars such as Leighton Baines, Tony Hibbert and Leon Osman at the top of their game.
Jackie Twort, Everton in the Community's Soccer School manager said: "A typical day at a camp includes a proper 'footballer's style' warm-up, skill sessions, penalty competitions, small-sided games, and water breaks of course!
"The last hour of each day consists of a tournament for the youngsters to show off their newly learned skills. Every day is carefully structured to give the children the opportunity to learn new techniques, to enjoy their football and meet new friends."
The Soccer Schools take part throughout Merseyside and north Wales.
Alternatively, if you're interested in your child joining our weekly training sessions at Sutton Leisure Centre, St Helens or Litherland Sports Park for just £4 a week, click here for further details.
Talent spotting
Through Everton Soccer Schools, a small number of children are identified each year as either significantly improving over the course of the camp, or arrive on the first day with that extra talent already in place.
The Community coaches then recommend these gifted youngsters to Everton's Youth Academy for trials and potentially a place in one of our Academy teams.
Please note: Taking part in one of the Soccer Schools does not guarantee recommendation to Everton's Youth Academy.
North Wales
Following on from public demand, Everton in the Community are to host several Soccer Schools across North Wales, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
Look out for more information in due course.
To register your interest for either North Wales, Isle of Man, or Jersey Soccer Schools, please email email@example.com or call 0151 530 52530151 530 5253.
For further Soccer School enquiries please contact Everton in the Community on 0151 530 52530151 530 5253 or email email@example.com

Consciousness and Epistemology
View Single Post
Mar30-04, 12:58 PM

LW Sleeth
Sorry if I put my words in your mouth. It is MY opinion
that what mathematical models miss is anything that is indivisible within its functions, and that that indivisibility represents a more general principle. If we "back out" so we can mathematically represent the more general principle's presence in a more general system, and there is still something unrepresentable mathematically, then again we've run into yet a more general principle. Is there an absolute bottom line, where indivisibility may be absolute?
Not sure I get you but that rings true.
I think in terms of ontologically backing out of manifest reality toward more and more basic systems (i.e. toward raw existence), one might run into consciousness at a pretty basic level, but I suspect that an absolute most basic level of existence is beneath that and not conscious at all. Why?
If the absolute most basic level is conscious, then how do we explain learning, development, conscious evolution? Assuming we humans are specific manifestations of something more generally conscious, then the fact that we can learn demonstrates the more general thing learns. But if it is now learned more than it used to be, then we can assume earlier it was less learned. Tracing that back we come to a stage that is unlearned, which suggests consciousness has a begining.
I agree. Thus Buddhists etc. often assert that consciousness does not exist. (Even though it's also fundamental).
For that reason I suspect there is a level of existence more basic than consciousness. A raw poteniality which has the
for consciousness, as well as for everything else that is manifest.
Not sure about this because 'consciousness' gets tricky to define at all at this depth. Certainly a state beyond 'self' anyway.
In the past I've postulated this raw poteniality is an infinite continuum of
"ground state" light. If so, obviously it would be too subtle to be detected by our machinery.
I would argue that it cannot be detected in principle because if it could it could not be 'ultimate' (it's existence would still be realtive or 'dependent'). We would still need yet another state beyond what we can detect. To link back to Goedel - the existence of the meta-system cannot be proved wityhin the system, only infered from the existence of the system. If the universe is seen as a formal axiomatic system (as per Penrose) then 'ultimate reality' is the meta-system (equivalently so is 'essence').
I prefer to think of it in terms of a perfect condensate of some some sort, one and many at the same time and infinitely peturbable - but it's just a metaphor.
Your point about the 'continuum' that mathematics cannot deal with is what I've occasionaly tried to argue from Zeno's paradoxes of motion, which are not paradoxes if reality is ultimately undifferentiated. But I haven't convinced anyone yet. Most seem to think that the calculus resolves them.
This brings us back to Penrose, who argues for some sort of ideal condensate in the brain, linked somehow to quantum coherence and microtubules - but he loses me on that one.

« TT: A master's music | Main | TT: Almanac »
December 16, 2011
TT: For the record
I had lunch with Christopher Hitchens in 2000 at the behest of a mutual friend, and didn't like him at all. Though he was perfectly nice to me, Hitchens struck me as snobbish and vain, the very model of an expatriate Brit frolicking among the ugly Americans at whom he delighted to sneer. We never met again.
Two years later, he gave my biography of H.L. Mencken an indifferent review in the New York Times. It may or may not have prejudiced me against his essays, which too often struck me as self-consciously contrarian rather than expressive of deep-seated convictions, of which I frankly doubt he had all that many.
I did, however, greatly admire (as who did not?) the courage with which he faced his fast-approaching end, as well as the stylish eloquence with which he described it in print. We should all be so brave--and so honest.
Ave atque vale.
UPDATE: In case you weren't reading this blog in 2005, here's something I wrote back then about speaking ill of the recently dead. As you can see, I haven't changed my mind--and Hitchens would have agreed with me.

In a sad turn of events this weekend, Bart Simpson's 4th Grade Teacher Edna Krabappel has ventured to the parent/teacher conference in the sky. On Friday night, it was announced that actress Marcia Wallace passed away at the age of 70.
She was born and raised in Creston, Iowa to Arthur "Poke" Wallace and his wife Joann. Her father was a shopkeeper who owned and operated "Wallace Sundries".
It was originally her intention to become a journalist; however, that changed after a teacher suggested that she take up a career in acting after she performed well in a school play.
Wallace got her big break in television when she was cast as the wise-cracking secretary Carol Kester on The Bob Newhart Show back in 1972; a role which she played for 6 years spanning 139 episodes.
From there she made multiple appearances on popular game shows like Hollywood Squares, The $10,000 Pyramid, Password Plus, The Match Game, and Card Sharks.
However, it would be her role in The Simpsons as lovelorn, wise-cracking 4th Grade teacher Edna Krabappel that she will be most dearly remembered for.
She first appeared on the long-running episodic cartoon series in 1990 in the episode entitled 'Bart the Genius'. Since then, she has appeared in 177 episodes of the series spanning the course of 23 years. Her last episode was this year's 'Treehouse of Horror XXIV'.
The news of her passing was first announced on Twitter by her close friend, radio host Frank DeCaro tweeted the news of his friend's passing.
Our dear sweet friend Marcia Wallace has died. A walking lesson in comedy. Long live Carol Kester & Edna Krabappel! pic.twitter.com/ms6JPuQ2NL
— Frank DeCaro (@frankdecaroshow) October 26, 2013
Earlier this year, the show had announced their intention to kill of one of the veteran characters of the show; however, they were adamant that Edna Krabappel is not the character they intended to write out.
"Earlier we had discussed a potential storyline in which a character passed away," Jean said. "This was not Marcia's Edna Krabappel. Marcia's passing is unrelated and again, a terrible loss for all who had the pleasure of knowing her."
It is tradition on The Simpsons that a character be retired when their voice actor passes away. In 1998, when comedian Phil Hartman passed away, the sleazy attorney Lionel Hutz and the actor Troy McClure characters were retired. The same thing can be said for Lunchlady Doris, who was retired when actress Doris Grau passed on in 1995.
In a statement posted to The Simpsons Facebook page, producer Al Jean expressed his sadness regarding her passing and their intention to retire the 4th grade teacher.
"I was tremendously saddened to learn this morning of the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace," Jean said. "She was beloved by all at The Simpsons and we intend to retire her irreplaceable character."
I think it is only fair that I leave you with a montage of some of Krabappel's finest moments, a montage of some of her greatest Ha! Moments.
Rest in Peace, Marcia Wallace. November 1, 1942 – October 25, 2013.

Every day after school, the coach's son would be dropped off at the high school gym. The older boys of Brown Deer, Wis., practiced on one half of the floor, and the boy would shoot on the other.
Stop jacking up 3s, the coach would tell his son. You're going to be playing underneath the basket.
"Steve just shook his head," Mike Novak recalls, "and went back out and shot 3s."
Fast forward to now. The Utah Jazz certainly won't try to stifle that inclination.
The Jazz on Thursday completed a trade that sent point guard Diante Garrett to Toronto in exchange for Steve Novak and a 2017 second-round pick that once belonged to the Knicks.
And the 6-foot-10 Novak, a career 43 percent shooter from behind the arc, knows what his role will be.
"They really do see how my shooting can help," Novak said in a telephone interview with The Salt Lake Tribune this week. "It can help with Trey [Burke] getting in the paint and giving Derrick [Favors] a lot of room when he's posting up. Just giving guys space, letting Gordon [Hayward] handle. That's what they talked about with me. Allowing those guys room to operate."
Firing from deep is how Novak has made his name and his living.
He was born in June of 1983 and brought home to a crib with a backboard and a hoop hanging above him. There were backyard games with his family and shooting contests on mini-hoops in the basement during long Wisconsin winters.
In the eighth grade, Novak dedicated himself to making 300 shots every day after school. If he wasn't shooting 70 percent after hitting 300, his father says, Novak would keep going until he hit his mark.
"It's just something that I've always loved to do," Steve Novak said. "Being a coach's son, that was my playground."
Novak chose to play his college ball close to home at Marquette. In 2006, he was drafted by the Houston Rockets. Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey was with the Rockets at the time, and later crossed paths with Novak when the two were in San Antonio.
Last season, the 31-year-old Novak was a role player in Toronto, shooting 42.6 percent from 3 but only playing about 10 minutes a night.
Novak, who has two years and $7.2 million left on his contract, spends his summers working out at Marquette and was in Wisconsin on July 4 when he was informed of the trade.
The news came as a shock; his exit interviews with the Raptors had not given him the impression he was likely to be dealt.
But Novak believes he is heading to a good situation.
And for a young Jazz team that had just one player shoot better than 40 percent from 3 last year (free agent Richard Jefferson), Novak will provide firepower and veteran leadership, Lindsey said.
"On the court, his accuracy, his range along with his shot quickness provides very unique spacing," Lindsey said. "Off the court, his intelligence, professionalism, [and] leadership are all things we're looking for to help grow the young group."

Teacher Feature: Franklin Habit (redux)
So, last year, I had never met Franklin. Now that I have, I'm happy to report all the rumors are true. If you want to take your knitting to the next level with a smart, kind, funny teacher who also happens to be prolific in chronicling his adventures.
Given his tendency to share all the details of his journeys in knitting, I was a bit nervous about what he might share given that he had a most hairy, rahter heavy-breathing late-night visitor at his cabin. But, he actually recounted his time on the lake in a most lovely way and not once did he mention what a bear smells like when they get all up in your grille.
So, discretion. Add that to his long list of fine qualities.
But seriously -- Franklin brings a triple threat to the classroom in that he knits, designs and will make you laugh.

What (besides knowing that Squam comes up in June) gets you through rough winter days?
What's the most memorable bumper sticker you've ever had to stare at?
WARNING: IN CASE OF THE RAPTURE I'M TAKING YOUR YARN. (Memorable because it was on a car that happened to pull in front of mine on a highway in Missouri, and I designed the bumper sticker.)
What's one thing you would never leave your house without?
Knitting and Emergency Backup Knitting.
Weirdest thing you've said lately?
Thank you, but I've had enough cookies.
Favorite winter sport? (knitting in front of fire does qualify)
I live in Chicago, so it's staying upright in a gale on an icy sidewalk.
A New Year's resolution that has never made it to February?
No cookies. No cookies except on weekends. No more than one cookie per day.
What's a scent that brings you back to childhood?
Sweat. (I was a nervous kid.)
Best music for cozy nights in?
Jo Stafford. If you haven't heard her, you should. A lush voice, perfect phrasing, and a big band backing her up.
Something you never thought you'd be good at, but surprised yourself?
Lifting weights. (Unexpected bonus: Allows me to eat more cookies.)
Favorite snack to keep you warm this winter?
Cute interview. Makes me wonder if 'cookie' is a euphemism for something though. :)

War (Bob Marley)
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Is finally
And permanently
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.
War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Reggae is a music genre which developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. It is based on ska (an earlier form of Jamaican popular music) and is most easily recognized by the rhythmic accents on the off-beat. This music style became popular internationally in the 1970s, especially in Britain, the United States, and Africa.
Reggae songs aimed to raise the political consciousness of the audience through their politicized lyrics that addressed social and economic injustice. Common topics were anti-racism, anti-colonialism, ani-capitalism, black nationalism, Rastafari movement (which encourages the relocation of the African diaspora to Africa and deifies the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie I), and the effects of poverty. Many reggae songs also promote the use of cannabis, which is considered a sacrament in the Rastafari movement. Reggae's biggest star remains Bob Marley.
Bob Marley
Bob Marley (1945-1981) was a Jamaican singer and writer of reggae music; he also played the guitar. Marley formed the Wailers group in 1965 and made reggae widely known around the world. With his songs, he also popularized Rastafarian beliefs globally. (Rastafarian identity first emerged in Jamaica: it allowed displaced Africans to connect to their ancestral homeland.) Marley's songs had spiritually and socially conscious lyrics and promoted peace and tolerance.
Marley performed at the Smile Jamaica concert in 1976. This concert was intended to bring peace to the people of Jamaica and suppress the strong political tensions that brutally divided Jamaica at the time. Two days prior to the concert, the singer was lightly wounded in an unsuccessful assassination attempt made on his life.
In 1978, Marley performed at another event aimed at curtailing the violence stemming from the rivalries of two political parties in Jamaica (PNP and JLP) - the One Love Peace Concert. Marley received the Medal of Peace from the United Nations in recognition of his courageous attempt to bridge Jamaica's cavernous political divide.
During his world tour, Marley also visited Africa. His politically progressive songs championed pan-African solidarity, and he had a strong influence on the African continent. His revolutionary yet unifying music challenged colonialism and racism. The influence of Bob Marley remains unparalleled upon various populations, irrespective of race, color or creed.
No Woman, No Cry - released 1974. The song is about growing up in the ghetto, and is persuading a woman not to cry and that things will get better.
Claude Monet
Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a key figure in the Impressionist movement. He mostly depicted the landscape and leisure activities of Paris and its surroundings. In order to capture nature more accurately, Manet often worked out of doors. His work includes series paintings, in which Monet painted the same site again and again, recording how its appearance changed with the time of the day. He paid particular attention to light and shadow. In his later work, Monet focused on the picturesque water-lily pond, which he had created on his property at Giverny.

Is the composition of public expenditures converging in EMU countries?
AbstractThe literature on fiscal policy is paying increasing attention to the impact of the composition of public expenditures on long-term economic growth. Public policy endogenous growth models recommend to change the composition of public expenditures to items considered as productive expenditures. Based on these models, European institutions are encouraging to increase the share of outlays, such as public investments, research and development, active labor market policies, and so on. This paper analyzes whether a convergence to a new pattern of public finances with a higher share of productive expenditures is arising in the euro zone.

Is there a future for HTML access keys ?
Unfortunately, after doing a lot of research we have decided to stop using access keys on sites we build until they are better supported. At the moment they interfere with keyboard shortcuts that already exist on different operating systems, browsers, and even screen readers.
How Could This Have Happened?
Access Keys are a great idea, even for regular web users it's nice to have keyboard shortcuts for your website, so why haven't they become more popular?
The main reason is that there has never been a standard adopted for what keys go with what actions. The closest thing to a standard is the UK government's recommendation, which hasn't really caught on. The few web authors who have chosen to use access keys have normally just set the keys to whatever they saw fit ('h' for home for instance) instead of staying within a range of keys.
This made it so the access key user needed to look up the keys on a site by site basis. Imagine having to memorize the access keys for every site you visit… If there were a standard set years ago then maybe operating systems and browsers wouldn't have taken all the available keys (including the ones recommended by the UK Government).
What about the future?
It's hard to say, the HTML5 spec, which is the closest thing we have to a roadmap of the future of the web, still has a section on access keys, and it doesn't mention that they are phasing them out. Still there is no mention of which keys should go with which actions, and without that I'd say the future is bleak for the access key.
If somehow access keys are better supported in the future, mimoYmima will be the first to build them back into our sites, but unfortunately at the moment they aren't very useful and do more harm than good.
