Radioactive Americium 241
If it was obtained as an encapsulated source no problems. Lots of things, diy cloud chambers, spark gap, scintillation detectors but naturally all would be designed so that the α could actually pass the detector's container etc. A little neutron generator or source for a diy accelerator too. If not encapsulated (and that isn't easy to obtain) glove box for the same reason as slicing fissionables. Hey particle emitters are a lot safer than microbiology or often undergrad chem research and I've done all of it (physics weight in nuclear and accelerator operator). You can detect radioactive material, pathogens you can't and I had some serious close calls with high energy inorganic chem! :)
As an alpha emitter, it would be extremely unwise to risk getting it within your skin, as alpha particles cause far more damage than beta or gamma radiation.
Remember the Russian killed by radioactive poison? It was a tiny amount of an alpha emitter.
Did you see what he used to do as a kid?
That is scary.
I just googled that phrase, and came up with one hit - your post.
What does it actually mean?
Like noise can damage your ears: it's a question of how loud?
Or he could have been beaten up with a cheese grater?
For your reference, always look up the MSDS (just use Google with "MSDS <whatever>") for a new chemcial if you're not familiar with it. They tend to be overly conservative about personal protective gear, but the quantitative data (LD50, flammability, etc.) will be accurate.
The tox effects are primarily from ingested or inhaled dust, or subcutaneous exposure. If you have solid pieces, keep them that way.
Are you an element collector?
Dirty bomb?
When an alpha passes through the alcohol vapor it will occasionally (every few hundred microns of travel) ionize one of the molecules. That ion will then become the center of a small bubble of condensed alcohol. So what you end up with a a little string of bubbles along the trajectory the alpha followed through the chamber.
They won't just float in space, unfortunately, with the temperature gradient from the dry ice, plus gravity, the vapor is constantly flowing. You'll see the trajectory form, and then the whole thing will appear to "drift" down to the bottom of the chamber where the alcohol bath is.
If you are really ambitious, after making the chamber, you can put a couple of large magnets on either side, or make yourself a pair of Helmholtz coils (look it up on Wikipedia). That will put an approximately straight B field through the chamber, and you should see the alpha tracks curve. They are charged particles, so the qv x B gives you a central force and the particles bend.
(most glaringly; while you can produce more radioactive elements (shorter halflife) from less radioactive elements, you can only do so at the rate of your "bombardment source" (and practically, much less), so there ought to be some sort of conservation effect that prevents you from winding up with stuff "much more radioactive than you started with.")
The danger (which is real) isn't the absolute amount of material involved, it's the fact that for the most part it is in an easily dispersed form -- ash, scraped powder, dust, salts. What that means is that it can be (inadvertently and unknowingly) inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through breaks in the skin. That can be a lot' more damaging than exposure to a well-contained sealed source. Remember the 1/r2 rule? Now let r go to effectively zero, since the source is under your skin.
The terms "more" or "less" radioactive are imprecise colloquialisms, which really refer to "activity." Important quantitative numbers are the amount (mass or molar) of material, and the decay rate (inverse half-life). A ton of uranium stored under your desk can make you just as sick as a few grams of technetium. What is important is the "activity", the number of particles emitted per second from this particular chunk of material.
We measure the activity of a specific source in units of "curies," "becquerels", or "rads" (look them up on Wikipedia). The higher the activity, the more dangerous to health (since the number of particles translates to the number of your cells potentially hit, etc.).
If you bombard a "less radioactive source" and transmute it into something with a shorter half-life, you may or may not end up with higher activity. It depends on both the ratio of half-lives and the conversion efficiency. There's no conservation law involved.
- Important quantitative numbers are the amount (mass or molar) of material, and the decay rate (inverse half-life).
This oughta show up as some sort of rule-of-thumb about radioactive materials in general. Start with any lump of "stuff" that you want, emitting whatever you want; it should only be able to get LESS radioactive overall, over time, even if the intermediate decay products are theoretically more active; they just wouldn't be formed in sufficient quantities to make the overall activity higher...
Does that make sense?
(This doesn't mean that the new lump can't be more "dangerous" for reasons other than pure radioactivity; they can be more dispersible, more biologically active, etc, etc.)
Not so. There is no a priori relationship between the half-lives of your target material and produced output. What is true is that you cannot produce more than 106 _atoms_ of output per second (assuming 100% conversion efficiency). However, if your target material is perfectly stable (i.e., an infinite half-live), such as carbon-12, you can _still_produce 106 atoms of radioactive carbon-13 per second.
You also wrote, "Start with any lump of "stuff" that you want, emitting whatever you want; it should only be able to get LESS radioactive overall, over time,"
What you say is true for a closed system -- that is, start with a lump of stuff and wait. Since the total number of atoms is constant (assuming no fission) the number still emitting decreases with time until the whole lump is stable.
It is not necessarily true for an open system -- for example, the hypothesized lump of stuff which is irradiated to produce new isotopes. In that case, for example, stable atoms mixed into the lump might be made radioactive themselves, increasing the _total_ activity of the lump.
- [you] Not so. There is no a priori relationship between the half-lives of your target material and produced output.

WASHINGTON (December 27, 2013) More than 1 million Americans were bracing Friday for a harrowing, post-Christmas jolt as federal unemployment benefits come to a sudden halt this weekend.
The halt could have significant implications for the recovering U.S. economy and it sets up a tense battle when Congress reconvenes next year.
For families dependent on cash assistance, the end of the federal government's "emergency unemployment compensation" will mean some difficult belt-tightening as enrollees lose their average monthly stipend of $1,166.
Jobless rates could drop, but analysts say the economy may suffer with less money for consumers to spend on everything from clothes to cars.
Having let the "emergency" program expire as part of a budget deal, it's unclear if Congress has the will to restart it.

My mother is a teacher, so when I upgraded them from XP to Vista I purchased an academic upgrade license for her.
The problem with the upgrade for Vista that I found was that you can't install it "clean" unless you install vista first, then do an upgrade and delete as you go.
Does anyone know if this is going to be the same for Windows 7, for example, If I purchase an upgrade and I want do a clean install on say, my media center in the future do I need to install vista first every time?

"Astonishing . . . original, daring, brilliant."
--Philadelphia Inquirer
In 1958 Jean Ellroy was murdered, her body dumped on a roadway in a seedy L.A. suburb. Her killer was never found, and the police dismissed her as a casualty of a cheap Saturday night. James Ellroy was ten when his mother died, and he spent the next thirty-six years running from her ghost and attempting to exorcize it through crime fiction. In 1994, Ellroy quit running. He went back to L.A., to find out the truth about his mother--and himself.
In My Dark Places, our most uncompromising crime writer tells what happened when he teamed up with a brilliant homicide cop to investigate a murder that everyone else had forgotten--and reclaim the mother he had despised, desired, but never dared to love. What ensues is a epic of loss, fixation, and redemption, a memoir that is also a history of the American way of violence.
"Ellroy is more powerful than ever."
--The Nation
About the Author
James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948. His L.A. quartet -- The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential and White Jazz -- were international bestsellers. American Tabloid was Time's Novel of the Year in 1995; his memoir My Dark Places was Time's Best Book and a New York Times Notable book for 1996. His novel The Cold Six Thousand was a New York Times Notable Book and Los Angeles Times Best Book for 2001. He lives on the coast of California.

You guys have all been awesome and encouraging! Thank you so much becuase Ive been feeling really down about this! So since it is official that I will not be able to run the marathon, I am going to keep blogging about my rehabbing and getting back on the horse.
I have been seeing the most wonderful doctor ever, Dr. Saint-Phard, shes a former olympian and professor at the University of Colorado and works with their Runners as well as other teams. (if anyone is in Colorado and looking for a great sports med doc, this is it!) So Ive been on some meds to help out with the pain and to help me sleep and we kind of came up with a way that I can still get some exericise only its in the form of swimming and doing the eliptical for a while. All of this makes me wonder if I am a runner, maybe I am a swimmer instead We'll see!
Today I start physical therapy, and I start in some pain. I got a cortisone shot in my bursa yesterday and man I wasnt expecting it. I know it will make me feel better but the process of getting everything in and doing it with the ultra sound was long and painful and left me with some bruising and major tenderness, my boyfriend nearly had to carry me up the stairs. back to therapy, I have never been, but I am really hoping they give me some great tools to use at home and help get me back to normal though after having raging bursitis for a year and having it for 3 years all togehter not having it might be weird.
I'll keep everyone updated on progress and I am still going to be cheering you on, think of me as the designated cheerleader though I wont be wearing any short skirts or have pom poms! Im going to see if I can make the flight to SD for the race but its going to be a touch and go thing with the healing. I hope that you all are doing well and bouncing back and I know that you all can do this, its a rough road with lots of bumps but to get to the final stretch in tact is amazing. GO FOR IT AND KICK BUTT!

Tara Todras-Whitehill, Associated Press
CAIRO — Not everyone was pleased Tuesday when crowds in Tahrir Square revived chants of "Peaceful! Peaceful!" that were heard nine months ago during the uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
A group of young men, their eyes and noses red from tear gas fired at rock-throwing protesters nearby, shook their heads.
"Enough 'peaceful' already!" one said.
The latest demonstrations against the military leaders who replaced Mubarak are more explosive and violent than those in January and February — something that pro-democracy activists had warned might happen as the ruling generals stumbled in carrying out sweeping reforms.
Protesters hurl rocks and firebombs. Security forces fire tear gas, rubber bullets and bird shot. The number of wounded piles up at an average of 80 per hour. Angry cries of "thuggery" and "dirty government" echo among the buildings. The death toll has risen steadily.
The violence Monday and Tuesday centered around the headquarters of the Interior Ministry, which runs the police, in the side streets a few blocks from Tahrir Square.
In the earlier demonstrations, protesters rarely approached the headquarters. But in a sign of the greater aggression in the past four days, they have marched repeatedly on the building and were met by a heavy response. Police and military around the ministry fired tear gas and moved in, beating and dragging away some of the activists.
The protests have reignited as feelings arose among many Egyptians that their revolution has been undermined by the military. Trials of former regime members have stalled, the economy has deteriorated, streets are less secure, activists have been hauled before military tribunals, and the generals have been reluctant in giving an exact date for transferring power to a civilian government and parliament.
There are also complaints that little has been done to reform the security forces, which rights groups say still torture detainees. The lack of trials for those behind the deaths of about 850 people in last winter's uprising also has led protesters to target the Interior Ministry.
Many say the violence against protesters brought them back to the square.
"We can't accept the same humiliating, inhuman treatment by the police. Enough," said Saad Abdel-Hamid, who showed up after work Tuesday, still in a sport coat. "Egyptians want a real, democratic country, but we realize this won't come easy. People are still making sacrifices every day."
It's clear that some of the protesters and the black-clad police — a hated symbol of the Mubarak era — are acting as if they have scores to settle from January and February.
While a feeling of uncertainty loomed over the first uprising because many Egyptians at the time thought the ouster of Mubarak to be a nearly impossible task, the Tahrir protesters this time around are determined not to leave until Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi steps down along with the rest of the generals on the ruling council.
Before the death toll started rising, protesters spoke only of their demand that power be transferred from the military council to an elected president no later than April 2012. After the deaths, they called for an immediate transfer, although there is no consensus on who should receive it.
Some want a civilian council to be chosen from Tahrir. Democracy advocate Mohamed ElBaradei and Islamist moderate Abdel Moneim Aboul-Fotuh are among the names floated as members of such a council.
Politicians who try to take a stage or hold a loudspeaker are shouted down. On social network sites, activists call for setting fire to podiums and not allowing anyone to "hijack the revolution."

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - An investigator's report details alleged sexual encounters involving the former chief administrator of Cobb County Superior Court and young women who worked for him.
The 48-page report released Tuesday by a special investigator hired by the county alleges that 54-year-old Skip Chesshire had sex at the courthouse, including in a judge's chambers, and sexual encounters at hotels during business hours in the 23 years he worked for the court.
Chesshire, who is married, worked for the Superior Court judges. Chesshire left his job in February when the allegations surfaced.
The allegations go back to the 1990s and involve women who were 18 and 19 years old at the time.
Chesshire and his attorney, Diane Woods, have declined comment on the report.
The county has named a former Cobb County district attorney, Tom Charron, to replace Chesshire.

Dingell's Absurd Poison-Pill Climate Plan
The carbon plan of Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) is considerably lamer — and more transparently a poison pill — than early reports suggested. So I strongly disagree with Chris Dodd and Friends of the Earth and Gristmill's Charles Komanoff who all applaud the bill. Here's why.
First, as Dingell himself has said, he wanted to design a bill with maximum pain to prove to everyone how unpalatable greenhouse gas mitigation is (see below). Why else include a pointless $0.50 gasoline tax on top of the carbon tax? Dingell actually has a double agenda here — to torpedo both climate legislation and a toughening of CAFE. Taxes are unpopular enough — but two of them? Come on! We've seen gasoline prices jump two dollars a gallon in recent years, with little impact on usage. What would another 50 cents do, except piss people off? It would never make the final bill, and Dingell knows it.
Second, Dingell "Phases out the mortgage interest on primary mortgages on houses over 3000 square feet." But why? Here is the lame answer:
These homes have contributed to increased sprawl and longer commutes. Despite new homes in and of themselves being more energy efficient, the sheer size, sprawl and commutes lead to dramatically more energy use — or to put it more simply, a larger carbon footprint.
Sprawl and longer commutes? Seriously? Even if sprawl and longer commutes were caused by large homes, it is at best an indirect (or second-order) effect. And the impact of changing the mortgage deduction on the size of homes would itself probably be second-order, so the overall impact of his sure-to-be unpopular proposal would be small — and slow — whereas we need more direct policies.
If you want to do something about sprawl/commutes — then why not just support location-efficient mortgages — instead of attacking the most popular tax deduction in the country? And if you want to reduce the energy impact of homes — indeed, of all buildings — why not put in tough national home-building energy codes modeled around California's Title 24.
But Dingell's proposal gets even more absurd. Consider this bizarre exemption:
Exemptions for home owners who purchase carbon offsets to make home carbon neutral or own homes that are certified carbon neutral.
Well, everyone would buy some cheap offsets and get this exemption — since that would certainly be far less expensive than losing the mortgage deduction. We should be trying to promote energy-efficient, low-carbon homes, not dubious carbon offsets. And who is going to certify carbon neutrality anway?
So instead of a good building code and location-efficient mortgages, we get rich people planting some trees (don't get me started) — or maybe enhancing oil recovery! — and building the same home in the same place they were going to.
This is not a serious proposal. Give me a cap-and-trade plus CAFE any day.
Dingell claims, "We must remember we all have a common goal and are in this fight together." A C-SPAN interview from July gives the lie to that claim. As E&E Daily wrote at the time (subs. req'd):
Dingell said he believes there is consensus among Americans on global warming, but he rejected the notion that the public would accept major new costs. "I sincerely doubt that the American people are willing to pay what this is really going to cost them," he said.
As such, Dingell intends to float proposals that amount to a pair of stalking horses on the matter. "I will be introducing, in the next little bit, a carbon tax bill just to sort of see how people really feel about this," he said in the interview, adding it would be a 50 cent gasoline tax and a "very substantial" tax on carbon emissions…..
"When you see the criticism I get, you will understand that you will be getting the answer to your question," he said in response to a question about Americans' willingness to pay higher prices.
Yeah, we all have a common goal and are in this fight together — assuming, of course, your goal is to obstruct action and you are fighting against tougher CAFE standards….

5 Responses to Dingell's Absurd Poison-Pill Climate Plan
I think most people are for avoiding potential climate change but they have no idea what it would cost.
I have 2,500 square foot home and a $15/MT carbon tax would cost me ~$800/year. Dingell's $50/MT would be >$2600!
I just don't think people will go for that.
Ted- http://www.Carbonissues.com Podcast
To Ted G: I doubt it would cost you that much, if anything, if properly done. The whole idea of a carbon tax is to stimulate efficiency. Here is California the utilities promote efficiency (i.e. they try to get you to use less of their product) because they make more profit from negawatts (customer efficiency) than they do from megawatts. The US needs to adopt California's energy policies as a group, not piecemeal, before it imposes a carbon tax. The end result will that people will pay more for each unit of energy and use less, with their net bill and lifestyle being unaffected. That's what happens with California electric bills (the rates are higher, but Californians uses 44% per less per capita, so it is basically a wash).

NO further action will be taken against a councillor after a community group claimed his employment as a security guard prejudiced his public support for a new supermarket.
Durham County Council has investigated the complaints made by Crook Community Partnership against Crook North councillor John Bailey and, while acknowledging he should have shown more respect with postings he made on Facebook, said there is no need for any more action.
The partnership submitted six complaints about Coun Bailey after he made several public comments in support of a proposed supermarket on Queen Street in Crook.
Loading article content
The community group said Coun Bailey works for Tesco at their St Helen Auckland store and should have declared an interest before speaking publicly in support of the scheme as he could stand to benefit if a new store is built in Crook.
But the council's governance solicitor Clare Burrows said Coun Bailey actually works as a security guard for a firm employed by Tesco and numerous other businesses, meaning there is no interest to declare.
The partnership also accused Coun Bailey of making "disrespectful" and "intimidating" posts on Facebook about the partnership, and called "into account the honesty, integrity and professionalism of the trustees" of the partnership by "liking" a negative post made by someone else.
Ms Burrows found Coun Bailey's comments showed a lack of respect but said he had already publicly apologised on Facebook for them so there was no need for further action.
The partnership also accused Coun Bailey of undermining their bid for £500,000 left over from the cancelled refurbishment of the Elite Hall in the town and releasing confidential information about their plan on the Crook Past, Present and Future Facebook page.
Ms Burrows said the details he released were already in the public domain, adding: "In a democracy members of public bodies should be able to express disagreement publicly with each other.
"In exercising his right to free speech, Coun Bailey has not attempted to undermine the bid."
Coun Bailey said: "I speak my mind, if I keep my mouth shut about issues affecting our community then how am I supposed to represent the people who elected me."
Crook Community Partnership was unavailable for comment at the time of publication.

What if Jamael Tito Brown, who is black, had won the Democratic primary for Youngstown mayor and white party officials refused to support him and, instead, publicly backed a white independent candidate?
Would black leaders have shrugged and said, "That's politics; who are we to tell Democratic Party officials that they must support the nominee?"
Or, would they have demanded the resignation of the party turncoats. Failing that, would they have urged the chairman to strip the disloyal Democrats of their leadership positions?
The answer is as obvious as last week's ploy by several black leaders to create dissension within the Mahoning County Democratic Party by implying that Chairman David Betras is the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Why the attack on Betras?
Because he had the temerity to remove from the party's executive committee three blacks who are supporting black independent candidate for mayor, DeMaine Kitchen.
The Democratic nominee, John A. McNally IV, is white. In the May primary, McNally defeated Tito Brown, president of city council.
White-black divide
Although the vote was close and the voting patterns showed a clear white-black divide, Betras contends that party leaders have a responsibility to support the winner in the general election.
Indeed, being a member of one of the two major political parties in the country means belonging to an organization with bylaws, rules and procedures.
Consider this description from Yahoo Voices:
"The major function of a political party is to nominate — name — candidates for public office. That is, the parties select candidates and then present them to the voters. Then the parties work to help their candidates win elections."
The executive committee members are expected to set an example for the rest of the membership by their loyalty and dedication.
And way the two parties have been able to maintain their major standing in American politics is by embracing the principle of party discipline.
That's what Betras has been preaching since he took the reins of the county Democratic Party in 2009.
Well aware of the past dysfunction of the organization due to incompetent leadership that led to infighting, he made it clear from the beginning that he expects leaders to be party loyalists.
His decision, therefore, to remove 1st Ward Councilwoman Annie Gillam, 2nd Ward Councilman T.J. Rodgers and former 1st Ward Councilman Artis Gillam from the executive committee because they're supporting Kitchen was to be expected.
Betras also is attempting to remove Artis Gillam as the 1st Ward district leader by persuading a majority of the party officers to go along with him.
Finally, he has asked Jaladah Aslam, the party's vice chairman for labor relations, to resign. Aslam has refused.
Leaders in the black community have raised the specter of racism in the chairman's actions.
Betras can be accused of many things: having an inflated ego; being a publicity hound; self-aggrandizing; and even a blowhard. But, to accuse him of being a racist is to indulge in the kind of gutter politics that is tearing this country apart.
Artis and Annie Gillam, who have benefited greatly from their involvement in the Democratic Party, have been around long enough to remember the dictatorial reign of the late Don L. Hanni Jr.
Hanni engendered party loyalty not through diplomacy but by threats and intimidation.
If an officeholder refused to pay the appropriate homage to the chairman, he soon found himself with an opponent in the primary.
Betras' move against the Gillams, Rodgers and Aslam is justified and appropriate. Serving in leadership positions in the party is a privilege, not a right.
That's also true for having a government job or holding public office.
Kitchen, who is Mayor Charles Sammarone's chief of staff, is a registered Democrat. However, by choosing to run as an independent against the party's nominee, he has opened himself up to criticism and attack.
And, by black leaders accusing Betras of racism, the election for mayor has taken on a different complexion.
White voters who may have stayed home Nov. 5 undoubtedly will be aroused from their apathy — because of the racial undercurrent in the battle for Youngstown mayor.
@Valleypolitics. Great post.
Da Main Kitchen? Really? Only in Youngstown
Artis and Annie Gillam have also enjoyed many annual vacations courtesy of Youngstown, as they attended their meeting for black elected officials on the city's dime.
There can be no end to racism when one side is making it an issue every time they don't get their way.
As long as whites buckle under to the race card being played, the more the blacks will keep using it. It's time to say NO to the race card B.S. These people must be held to the same standards as everyone else. No more special privileges for them They really don't deserve them anymore !!
These things happen all the time with Democrats (white and black) attacking GOP candidates and officeholders as "racist" and Betras doesn't get upset in those instances. A taste of his own medicine is good for him.
And what is the main thing Betras is doing here? He wants more control and power for HIMSELF.
Does anyone really think that Kitchen would govern as any less of a Democrat then McNally? Come on.
And what if one (or both) of these candidates accepted $$ for their campaign from a Republican(s)?
Does that mean they are nor longer an acceptable Democrat?
Would it matter who took campaign contributions from a Republican(s) first?
Well, I probably have to work on my racism as much as most folks, but the problem here is what came out of this cesspool of kowtowing and bowing and scraping between all these greedy self-dealing hyenas was a candidate most folks just couldn't stomach. What else was going to come out of that mess? Can't expect someone inspiring to come out of that bunch. McNally's got a lot more problems with the Youngstown voter than just being white and this paper is overlooking that elephant.
This was nothing more than an intown power struggle. Will the man of the hour in DC use his muscle to get this settled?
"Betras can be accused of many things: having an inflated ego; being a publicity hound; self-aggrandizing; and even a blowhard. But, to accuse him of being a racist is to indulge in the kind of gutter politics that is tearing this country apart."
Democrats doing what Democrats do , nothing new here, move along.

text: Posted August 23, 2014 Fozzy is not better than DeAngelo just because of a few decent runs against the Chiefs' 3rd stringers. You people need to get a grip. I do believe Stew is better than DeAngelo and it's not even close. Tolbert could be, but I don't see him as an every down back so I wouldn't compare the two. 12 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was only a week ago or so that one NL executive compared the MLB trade market to the weather in terms of unpredictability: "It can change really quickly, because all of a sudden you could have some teams decide they're going to be sellers," he said. "The standings will dictate a lot of this."
This is how, in a short time, a thin starting pitching market has quickly thickened with options -- not all of them great, but options nonetheless -- for teams in search of starting pitching. And this is how a flush market for outfielders is suddenly saturated to the degree that it may be difficult for teams to extract value in a trade.
Back in the spring, the Reds were in a good bargaining position with right fielder Jay Bruce, and that probably was still the case in May and June, especially after he got off to such a good start. But now there are a bunch of outfielders available, with far fewer apparent buyers.
The outfielders currently dangling in the market, according to general managers are: Oakland's Josh Reddick; San Diego's Melvin Upton Jr., who is headed to Toronto assuming the deal is pushed across the finish line; Carlos Beltran and Brett Gardner of the Yankees; the aforementioned Bruce; Melky Cabrera and Adam Eaton of the White Sox; Carlos Gonzalez and Charlie Blackmon of the Rockies; Atlanta's Nick Markakis; and the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig, among others.
Which teams appear to be buyers in the market for outfielders?
