Nevada GOP Candidate Warns Of Impending Chinese Military Invasion In New Ad
Nevada state Sen. Mark Amodei (R) didn't wait long after starting his campaign for his state's unfilled House seat before dabbling in xenophobia. Amodei, the GOP nominee for Nevada's second congressional district special election in September, launched his three-day-old campaign with a television ad telling viewers China's debt holdings will soon allow the country to rise up and destroy U.S. sovereignty.
The commercial, which follows in the footsteps of China-bashing ads run by Citizens Against Government Waste and former Rep. Zack Space, depicts a Chinese news anchor in the near-future discussing the U.S. decline in the face of China's imperial aspirations. "Their President Obama just kept raising the debt limit, and their independence became a new dependence. As their debt grew, our fortune grew, and that is how our great empire rose again," she reports.
Running in the background are shots of Obama bowing to Chinese president Hu Jintao and a doctored image of the Chinese army marching with automatic rifles in front of the U.S. Capitol building as it flies the red Chinese flag. At its close, the ad cuts to an image of Amodei as he promises to "never vote to raise Obama's debt limit and risk our independence." Watch it:
Hyperbolic claims that U.S. independence is at risk from China's increased ownership of the public debt is a thinly veiled attempt to play on some Americans' xenophobia. At the end of the 2010 fiscal year, China owned just 9.5 percent of U.S. debt. But not only does Amodei ignore the facts regarding the national debt, the ad's leap from the national debt ceiling to Chinese troops marching in front of the Capitol is simply preposterous.
But this fear-mongering may not be enough to save Amodei's campaign once the debate focuses on his support for the GOP plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system.

@Emy InTrade gives him a 38% chance of winning the election. That's not great, but it's quite a bit better than a snowball's chance in hell. And Nita's comment was about Romney's performance in the debate, not about his chances of winning the election. Romney is widely agreed to have outperformed Obama in the debate.

Corporate Front Group Spreads Nonsense Research Against Paid Sick Days
Connecticut's paid sick days law — which requires businesses in the service sector with more than 50 employees to allow their workers to accrue at least one hour of paid sick leave for every 40 hours they work — went into effect in January 2012. This week, the Employment Policies Institute released new "research" on the implementation of the law, arguing that it's hurt the state.
But it is difficult to refer to this as "research" with a straight face, since the group is a shell corporation for big business interests and the report repeatedly asserts that the data is "not representative." The Employment Policies Institute has released similarly dubious reports arguing against raising the minimum wage, and against the Affordable Care Act. Its founder Rick Berman, was a lobbyist for the food, alcoholic beverage and tobacco industries, and has been publically accused of using his non-profit shell organizations to benefit the for-profit clients for which he lobbies.
Amongst the report's problems, data collection began in April 2012, four months after the implementation of the law and, due to the requirements of the legislation, before most full-time workers could have used any of the sick days earned. The initial survey was sent to businesses identified as "most likely to be impacted by the law" but nearly half (45 percent) of respondents did not have to change their policies in order to comply with the law — yet they still were included in the results saying negative things about the effects of the legislation.
The report claims that businesses are laying off workers and limiting expansion, but rigorously collected data from the Connecticut Department of Labor shows employment growth in the Leisure and Hospitality and Education and Health Services sectors since the law went into effect — two sectors that had the largest numbers of workers without paid sick days prior to passage of the law.
This is a study funded by low-wage employers, claiming that providing their already exploited workers with benefits is unnecessary and bad for the economy. In spite of the great deal of evidence showing that their argument is incorrect, this narrative is dangerous nonetheless.
In nearby New York City, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has refused to bring paid sick days legislation up for a vote, despite overwhelming support from both voters and the rest of the Council. In Orange County, Florida, meanwhile, a voter initiated ballot measure was prevented from appearing on the election ballot by County officials after texting with lobbyists from Disney and other anti-sick leave businesses.

In Linux, what happens to the state of a process when it needs to read blocks from a disk? Is it blocked? If so, how is another process chosen to execute?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
While waiting for
An exception to this is when a file (such as a terminal or other character device) is opened in
How another process is chosen depends entirely on the scheduler you are using, as well as what other processes might have done to modify their weights within that scheduler.
Some user space programs under certain circumstances have been known to remain in this state forever, until rebooted. These are typically grouped in with other "zombies", but the term would not be correct as they are not technically defunct.
When a process needs to fetch data from a disk, it effectively stops running on the CPU to let other processes run because the operation might take a long time to complete – at least 5ms seek time for a disk is common, and 5ms is 10 million CPU cycles, an eternity from the point of view of the program!
From the programmer point of view (also said "in userspace"), this is called a blocking system call. If you call
THEN the process is put in sleep state (in kernel space, blocking is called sleeping - nothing is ever 'blocked' from the kernel point of view). It will be awoken again once the hardware has finally fetched the proper data, then the process will be marked as runnable, scheduled and run as soon as the scheduler allows it to.
Finally in userspace the blocking system call returns with proper status and data, and the program flow goes on.
It is possible to invoke most I/O system calls in non-blocking mode (see
Most answers here mentioning the D state (which exact name is
But you will sometimes encounter those unkillable processes in D state in a few situations. NFS is famous for that, and I've encountered it many times. I think there's a semantic clash between some VFS code paths which assume to always reach local disks and fast error detection (on SATA, an error timeout would be around a few 100 ms), and NFS which actually fetches data from the network which is more resilient and has slow recovery (a TCP timeout of 300 seconds is common). Read this article for the cool solution introduced in Linux 2.6.25 with the
A process performing I/O will be put in D state (uninterruptable sleep), which frees the CPU until there is a hardware interrupt which tells the CPU to return to executing the program. See
Depending on your kernel, there is a process scheduler, which keeps track of a runqueue of processes ready to execute. It, along with a scheduling algorithm, tells the kernel which process to assign to which CPU. There are kernel processes and user processes to consider. Each process is allocated a time-slice, which is a chunk of CPU time it is allowed to use. Once the process uses all of its time-slice, it is marked as expired and given lower priority in the scheduling algorithm.
In the 2.6 kernel, there is a O(1) time complexity scheduler, so no matter how many processes you have up running, it will assign CPUs in constant time. It is more complicated though, since 2.6 introduced preemption and CPU load balancing is not an easy algorithm. In any case, it's efficient and CPUs will not remain idle while you wait for the I/O.
Yes, the task gets blocked in the read() system call. Another task which is ready runs, or if no other tasks are ready, the idle task (for that CPU) runs.
A normal, blocking disc read causes the task to enter the "D" state (as others have noted). Such tasks contribute to the load average, even though they're not consuming the CPU.
Some other types of IO, especially ttys and network, do not behave quite the same - the process ends up in "S" state and can be interrupted and doesn't count against the load average.
Assuming your process is a single thread, and that you're using blocking I/O, your process will block waiting for the I/O to complete. The kernel will pick another process to run in the meantime based on niceness, priority, last run time, etc. If there are no other runnable processes, the kernel won't run any; instead, it'll tell the hardware the machine is idle (which will result in lower power consumption).
Processes that are waiting for I/O to complete typically show up in state D in, e.g.,
Yes, tasks waiting for IO are blocked, and other tasks get executed. Selecting the next task is done by the Linux scheduler.
Generally the process will block. If the read operation is on a file descriptor marked as non-blocking or if the process is using asynchronous IO it won't block. Also if the process has other threads that aren't blocked they can continue running.
The decision as to which process runs next is up to the scheduler in the kernel.

Sir.—In their article "Newborn Thyroid Screening in a Municipal Hospital" (Journal 1982;136:248-250), Harris and Dreyfus pointed out the following problems that arise from the process of recall of newborns with abnormal screening results: the cost of recall of patients in the overall program, the anxiety for individual families, and the success rate in recall of patients requiring a second test. We would like to comment on some of these points in terms of our experience with neonatal screening for hypothyroidism.
First, in France, the state-mandated screening program for hypothyroidism and for phenylketonuria (PKU) is carried out in 21 area centers, geographically determined under the auspices of a national authority. All of these centers perform thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) determinations from dried blood spots. The cutoff value has been fixed to 30 μU/mL of blood.
Second, our center is one of these "regional centers" and screens 80,000 infants per year for

The logical conclusion is that, modulating CPU speed *on demand* means nothing. No matter what speed you *think* your CPU is working on, your CPU is smart enough to consume enough power to complete the job.
My conclusion is that, CPU speed modulation on demand is as wrong as turning lights off when in blackout, and turn on again when you are back.

I was weirded out by the Gold Coast - high density vacation rentals built on what is essentially a sandspit, with more and more being constructed in the most exposed locations possible. I much preferred the agriculture-focused trip inland. Best two days I have ever spent on a bus!

Bike Trip 2010
My camera got stolen in Belgium, so these are Kevin's. We went Germany-Holland-Belgium-Luxembourg-Germany, with train stretches to Luxembourg when we got annoyed in Belgium, from the Mosel to Franken when it got too crowded on a weekend, and from Franken back to the Rhine when the weather turned bad in Franken. Total cycling distance: 1000km exactly.

Not the best trip we'd ever had. We planned on Rossport to Hattie Cove, with - the real goal of the trip - a few days in the Slate Islands. That never happened. Also, it rained a lot, and it was cold.

A bike trip through Franconia (Bavaria) and southern Bohemia (Czech Republic). We focused on beer, thus often the route was based on where the breweries were. We closed gaps with the train.

Superior 2008
Last year, we paddled this route and got stuck in fog for several days. What we did see of it, we loved. There were places we wanted to re-visit, places we wanted to see without fog, and places we just didn't get to that looked interesting. So this year, we did it again. Sadly, David couldn't come - but lucky for us, Keith could! Wonderful trip. I'd do it over in a heartbeat.

Bike trip 2008
May-June 2008 tip on Bike Fridays with Kevin. This was probably my favourite Germany trip ever. It was cool being a tourist there, it was super fun riding the bikes, it was nice having my friend there and thus not feeling like I had to do so much family stuff (and I like my family), and I had one of those rare moments where two very separate friendship spheres overlapped and got along. I was never bored, I saw lots I'd never seen before, and the trip was way too short. I was treating the days we had left like treasures that I reluctantly had to yield up. -

Jasper 2007
Jasper is stupidly beautiful, without all the irritating that goes along with Banff. Even better, Gwen and I escaped there for a weekend after a week of field work in Alberta and it was September and there was snow! This means that summer things were still open - like the cottages we stayed at - but winter wonderland was all around. Ok, the Columbia Icefields explorer thing was irritating, I'll admit that, but we saw all these fresh avalanches on the icecap. Not that we got to go on the actual icecap, that's lying marketing, you get to go onto the toe of a glacier. And you could totally walk there, if you were determined. Just saying.

Medical Group: Sell the Pill Without Prescription »
"Nov. 20, 2012 -- Oral contraceptives should be made available without a prescription to reduce unintended pregnancies, according to a newly published opinion by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
Whether t"...
Read the Medical Group: Sell the Pill Without Prescription article »
Patients should be counseled that oral contraceptives do not protect against transmission of HIV (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as Chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis.
This leaflet is about birth control pills that contain one hormone, a progestin. Please read this leaflet before you begin to take your pills. It is meant to be used along with talking with your doctor or clinic.
Progestin-only pills are often called "POPs" or "the minipill." POPs have less progestin than the combined birth control pill (or "the pill") which contains both an estrogen and a progestin.
About 1 in 200 (0.5%) POPs users will get pregnant in the first year if they all take POPs perfectly (that is, on time, every day). About 1 in 20 (5%) "typical" POPs users (including women who are late taking pills or miss pills) gets pregnant in the first year of use. The following table will help you compare the efficacy of different methods.
|Depo-Provera® (injectable progesterone): 0.3%
|Norplant® System (levonorgestrel implants): 0.1%
|Diaphragm with spermicides: 18%
|Spermicides alone: 21%
|Male condom alone: 12%
|Female condom alone: 21%
|Cervical cap:
|Women who have never given birth: 18%
|Women who have given birth: 36%
|Periodic abstinence: 20%
|No methods: 85%
- They make the cervical mucus at the entrance to the womb (the uterus) too thick for the sperm to get through to the egg.
- They prevent ovulation (release of the egg from the ovary) in about half the time.
- They also affect other hormones, the fallopian tubes and the lining of the uterus.
- If there is any chance you may be pregnant.
- If you have breast cancer.
- If you have bleeding between your periods which has not been diagnosed.
- If you are taking certain drugs for epilepsy (seizures) or for TB. (See USING POPS WITH OTHER MEDICINES below.)
- If you are hypersensitive or allergic to any component of this product.
- If you have liver tumors, either benign or cancerous.
- If you have acute liver disease.
WARNING: If you have sudden or severe pain in your lower abdomen or stomach area, you may have an ectopic pregnancy or an ovarian cyst. If this happens, you should contact your doctor or clinic immediately.
- Ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy outside the womb. Because POPs protect against pregnancy, the chance of having pregnancy outside the womb is very low. If you do get pregnant while taking POPs, you have a slightly higher chance that the pregnancy will be ectopic than do users of some other birth control methods.
- Ovarian cysts. These cysts are small sacs of fluid in the ovary. They are more common among POP users than among users of most other birth control methods. They usually disappear without treatment and rarely cause problems.
- Cancer of the reproductive organs and breasts. Some studies in women
who use combined oral contraceptives that contain both estrogen and a progestin
have reported an increase in the risk of developing breast cancer, particularly
at a younger age and apparently related to duration of use. There is insufficient
data to determine whether the use of POPs similarly increases this risk.
Some studies have found an increase in the incidence of cancer of the cervix in women who use oral contraceptives. However, this finding may be related to factors other than the use of oral contraceptives and there is insufficient data to determine whether the use of POPs increases the risk of developing cancer of the cervix.
- Liver tumors. In rare cases, combined oral contraceptives can cause benign but dangerous liver tumors. These benign liver tumors can rupture and cause fatal internal bleeding. In addition, a possible but not definite association has been found with combined oral contraceptives and liver cancers in studies in which a few women who developed these very rare cancers were found to have used combined oral contraceptives for long periods of time. There is insufficient data to determine whether POPs increase the risk of liver tumors.
WARNING: POPs do not protect against getting or giving someone HIV (AIDS) or any other STD, such as Chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts or herpes.
- Irregular bleeding. The most common side effect of POPs is a change in menstrual bleeding. Your periods may be either early or late, and you may have some spotting between periods. Taking pills late or missing pills can also result in some spotting or bleeding.
- Other side effects.Less common side effects include headaches, tender breasts, nausea and dizziness. Weight gain, acne and extra hair on your face and body have been reported, but are rare.
If you are concerned about any of these side effects, check with your doctor or clinic.
Before taking a POP, inform your health care provider of any other medication, including over-the-counter medicine, that you may be taking.
If you are taking medicines for seizures (epilepsy) or tuberculosis (TB), tell your doctor or clinic. These medicines can make POPs less effective:
Medicines for seizures:
- Phenytoin (Dilantin®)
- Carbamazepine (Tegretol®)
- Phenobarbital
Medicine for TB:
- Rifampin (Rifampicin)
Before you begin taking any new medicines be sure your doctor or clinic knows you are taking birth control pills that contain a progestin.
- POPs must be taken at the same time every day, so choose a time and then take the pill at the same time every day. Every time you take a pill late, and especially if you miss a pill, you are more likely to get pregnant.
- Start the next pack the day after the last pack is finished. There is no break between packs. Always have your next pack of pills ready.
- You may have some menstrual spotting between periods. Do not stop taking your pills if this happens.
- If you vomit soon after taking a pill, use a backup method (such as condom and/or spermicide) for 48 hours.
- If you want to stop taking POPs, you can do so at any time, but, if you remain sexually active and don't wish to become pregnant, be certain to use another birth control method.
- If you are not sure about how to take POPs, ask your doctor or clinic.
- It's best to take your first POP on the first day of your menstrual period.
- If you decide to take your first POP on another day, use a backup method (such as condom and/or spermicide) every time you have sex during the next 48 hours.
- If you have had a miscarriage or an abortion, you can start POPs the next day.
- If you are more than 3 hours late or you miss one or more POPs:
- TAKE a missed pill as soon as you remember that you missed it,
- THEN go back to taking POPs at your regular time,
- BUT be sure to use a backup method (such as condom and/or spermicide) every time you have sex for the next 48 hours.
- If you are not sure what to do about the pills you have missed, keep taking POPs and use a backup method until you can talk to your doctor or clinic.
- If you are fully breastfeeding (not giving your baby any food or formula), you may start your pills 6 weeks after delivery.
- If you are partially breastfeeding (giving your baby some food or formula), you should start taking pills by 3 weeks after delivery.
- If you are switching from the combined pills to POPs, take the first POP the day after you finish the last active combined pill. Do not take any of the 7 inactive pills from the combined pill pack. You should know that many women have irregular periods after switching to POPs, but this is normal and to be expected.
- If you are switching from POPs to the combined pills, take the first active combined pill on the first day of your period, even if your POPs pack is not finished.
- If you switch to another brand of POPs, start the new brand anytime.
- If you are breastfeeding, you can switch to another method of birth control at any time, except do not switch to the combined pills until you stop breastfeeding or at least until 6 months after delivery.
If you become pregnant, or think you might be, stop taking POPs and contact your physician. Even though research has shown that POPs do not cause harm to the unborn baby, it is always best not to take any drugs or medicines that you don't need when you are pregnant.
You should get a pregnancy test:
- If your period is late and you took one or more pills late or missed taking them and had sex without a backup method.
- Anytime you miss 2 periods in a row.
If you want to become pregnant, simply stop taking POPs. POPs will not delay your ability to get pregnant.
If you are breastfeeding, POPs will not affect the quality or amount of your breast milk or the health of your nursing baby. However, isolated cases of decreased milk production have been reported. If you suspect that you are not producing enough milk for your baby, contact your doctor or clinic.
No serious problems have been reported when many pills were taken by accident, even by a small child, so there is usually no reason to treat an overdose.
Cigarette smoking greatly increases the possibility of suffering heart attacks and strokes. Women who use oral contraceptives are strongly advised not to smoke.
Diabetic women taking POPs do not generally require changes in the amount of insulin they are taking. However, your physician may monitor you more closely under these conditions.
If you have any questions or concerns, check with your doctor or clinic. You can also ask for the more detailed "professional package labeling" written for doctors and other health care providers.
Store your POPs at room temperature 15 - 25°C (59 - 77°F).

What is skepticism? I found this description of skepticism by the UK Skeptics quite clear.
Skepticism is an honest search for knowledge. It is an approach to claims akin to the scientific method. It is a powerful and positive methodology (a collection of methods of inquiry) that is used to evaluate claims and make decisions. It is used to search for the (provisional) truth in matters and to make decisions that are based on sound reasoning, logic, and evidence. Skepticism is based on a simple method: doubt and inquiry. The idea is to neither initially accept claims nor dismiss them; it's about questioning them and testing them for validity. Only after inquiry does a skeptic take a stance on an issue.
Wikipedia entry on Scientific Skepticism: Skepticism or scepticism (see spelling differences) is generally any questioning attitude towards unempirical knowledge or opinions/beliefs stated as facts, ordoubt regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere.
A primer in critical thought: The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan. This should be required reading in every school in the nation.
sci·ence /ˈsaɪəns/
1. a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.
2. systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
3. any of the branches of natural or physical science.
4. systematized knowledge in general.
5. knowledge, as of facts or principles; knowledge gained by systematic study.
6. a particular branch of knowledge.
7. skill, esp. reflecting a precise application of facts or principles; proficiency.
Scientific Method: The scientific method is the process by which scientists, collectively and over time, endeavor to construct an accurate (that is, reliable, consistent and non-arbitrary) representation of the world.

Geico cavemen gettin' their own sitcom

Maybe. Maybe.
No word yet on what the show's going to look like, but I bet the weirdly elaborate "Caveman's Crib" website created by Geico isn't far off the mark. Sardonic yuppie neanderthals sharing laughs, love, and snark as they try to make it in the big city? Maybe. Maybe.

What is the most powerful lever you can imagine? A big idea, but only if it's in the hands of a truly outstanding entrepreneur. It starts with the person and the idea, and then grows to the institution. All three are intertwined.

Social entrepreneurs have existed throughout history. St. Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan Order, would qualify as a social entrepreneur -- having built multiple organizations that advanced pattern changes in his "field." Similarly, Florence Nightingale created the first professional school for nurses and established standards for hygiene and hospital care that have shaped norms worldwide. What is different today is that social entrepreneurship is developing into a mainstream vocation, not only in the United States, Canada, and Europe, but increasingly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In fact, the rise of social entrepreneurship represents the leading edge of a remarkable development that has occurred across the world over the past three decades: the emergence of millions of new citizen organizations.

According to the management expert Peter F. Drucker, the term "entrepreneur" (from the French, meaning "one who takes into hand") was introduced two centuries ago by the French economist Jean-Baptiste Say to characterize a special economic actor--not someone who simply opens a business, but someone who "shifts economic resources out of an area of lower and into an area of higher productivity and greater yield." The twentieth-century growth economist Joseph A. Schumpeter characterized the entrepreneur as the source of the "creative destruction" necessary for major economic advances.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2003
Running Time: 120
Company: Quad Pictures
Distribution Companies: Caballero
Cast: Divina, Jayden Foxx, Ann Harlow, Trevor (I), Summer Lynn, Hazel (I), Kyle Phillips
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Jayden Foxx makes it worth a look, but Divina's dark looks may be the ticket that draws in the Latina fans.
This is the kind of vid in which everyone was apparently operating on autopilot. With few exceptions, the performers exude that bored, 100-yard stare. When Kyle Phillips throws an undistinguished missionary hump into Divina, the videographer, asleep at the lens, spends an inordinate amount of time shooting the Kyle's hairy back. (Of course, the reason we even bring this comment up is because the editor was asleep at the bay.)
It strikes us as somewhat humorous that out of all the half-hearted encounters collected within, the highlight is a scene in which the soundtrack is most obviously dubbed. Jayden Foxx, an all-natural, relatively unknown performer with fine cocksucking skills, makes Trevor work for his paycheck in an arousing bedroom clench. Leaving just about no position unturned, the couple shake the canopy so hard it comes down on their heads - and like the Energizer bunny, they keep on going.
Had the other encounters attained half this kind of heat, perhaps the tape might've lived up to its name.

What would be the name for dissecting a word to create a phrase — the opposite of a portmanteau? Like the rapper Flo Rida made his name out of Florida. Is there a term for that?

The only thing I can think of is word play.
It looks like an eggcorn, but Flo Rida doesn't mean the same thing as Florida.
It's almost an anagram but the letters haven't been rearranged so much as moved apart a bit.
It is an Aptronym (well, if you think Flo Rida is good at what he does.)
The example cited is a homonym : Florida (a city) and Flo Rida ( a person's name)

Variational Treatment of the HeH+ Ion and the β‐Decay in HT43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696885View Description Hide Description
The nonrelativistic energies of the HeH+ ion have been computed by the variational method for the ground state and for the first excited 1Σ+ state. The wavefunction employed was a 64‐term generalized James—Coolidge expansion. The computed binding energy of the ground state amounts to De =16448.3 cm−1 at the equilibrium separation Re =1.46324 a.u. The excited state is found to be repulsive.
The HeH+wavefunctions are used to compare quantitatively the theory of β‐decay in molecules with experiment. It is shown that for the HT molecule, the theory predicts the dissociation in at least 17.8% of the events while the corresponding experimental number is 6.8%±1.9%.
Guillemin—Zener Energy of H2 +43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696886View Description Hide Description
The energy of the H2 +ground state 1sσ calculated with the Guillemin—Zener approximate wavefunction, lies within 0.0005 e 2/a 0 of the exact for the full range of internuclear separations. In the limit of zero separation, . The energy still lies within 0.0010 e 2/a 0 when the additional requirement is imposed that Hψ s remains finite at the nuclei. The Guillemin—Zener energy is less accurate for the first excited 2pσ state.
Perturbation Treatment of the Ground State of H2 +43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696887View Description Hide Description
Rayleigh—Schrödinger perturbation calculations are carried out for the ground state of the H2 + molecular ion. The zeroth‐order wavefunction for this problem is chosen to be the Guillemin and Zener variational functionThe energies through third order and the expectation value E(1) of the Hamiltonian calculated with the wavefunction accurate through first order are computed for various choices of the parameters. For the optimum choices of both α and β, we obtain for all separations values of E(1) which agree almost perfectly with the accurate series calculations of Bates, Ledsham, and Stewart. Also the values of the wavefunction accurate through the first order agree almost perfectly at most points in configuration space with Bates et al.
Perturbation Treatment of the Ground State of HeH+ +43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696888View Description Hide Description
Rayleigh—Schrödinger perturbation calculations are carried out for the ground state of the HeH+ + molecular ion. The zeroth‐order wavefunction isThe expectation value of the Hamiltonian calculated with the wavefunction accurate through first order, E(1), is compared with the accurate series calculations of Bates and Carson and found to agree up to five places. Also the values of the normalized wavefunction accurate through the first order agree quite well with Bates and Carson, particularly for small values of the internuclear separation.
Multiple Elastic Intramolecular Scattering in Gas Electron Diffraction43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696889View Description Hide Description
The effects of multiple elastic intramolecular scattering on gas‐electron‐diffraction patterns are calculated in the second Born approximation. Expressions for the first‐order double‐ and triple‐scattering contributions are obtained. An approximate expression convenient for computation, for the first‐order triple‐scattering term is also given. The relationships of the magnitude of the multiple scattering to atomic number, atomic size, and molecular structure are investigated. It is shown that corrections to the reduced molecular‐intensity function of the order of several percent can occur in the case of triple scattering from three or more heavy atoms in close proximity.
On the Evaluation of the Thermal‐Diffusion Coefficient of Heavy Particles Using a Theory of Brownian Motion in a Nonuniform Medium43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696890View Description Hide Description
An extension of the theory of Brownian motion of heavy particles in a condensed medium of light particles is presented, which accounts for deviations of the state of the medium from equilibrium. The case of media under a thermal gradient is especially considered and the coefficients of diffusion and thermal diffusion of the heavy component are identified by solving the generalized kinetic equation for the Brownian particle distribution. The first terms of a systematic expansion of the thermal‐diffusion coefficient in powers of the mass ratio are explicitly given, and their sign is found by an approximate further evaluation. It is suggested that the thermal‐diffusion coefficient follows an asymptotic saturation law as far as the isotopic effect is concerned.
Exact Solutions for Many‐Level Multiple‐Resonance Problems43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696891View Description Hide Description
The matrix elements of the time‐development operator are obtained exactly for the influence of many resonant or near‐resonant fields on a system with a finite number of levels for arbitrary initial conditions in a wide class of problems. Perturbative techniques are presented which enable the exact treatment of all perturbations to a desired order. As examples, a three‐level double‐resonance and two eight‐level triple‐resonance systems are given. The applications of these exact solutions to the treatment of perturbations, including relaxation phenomena, are presented using both standard‐perturbation‐theory and density‐matrix techniques.
Theory of the Linear Heisenberg Antiferromagnet. Application to Paramagnetic Excitations in Organic Crystals43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696892View Description Hide Description
We consider a linear array of tightly bound electrons that are exchange coupled to their neighbors. The Hamiltonian, in the Heisenberg model, iswhere δ is the alternation parameter and the exchange integral J is positive, corresponding to antiferromagnetic coupling. We investigate the solutions for the one‐dimensional antiferromagnet, for any |δ|≤1, by transforming the Hamiltonian first to Fermi creation and annihilation operators and then to pseudospin operators similar to the ones used by Anderson in connection with superconductivity. We thus take into account the coherence between antiparallel electrons in a self‐consistent manner. We exploit the similarity between the linear antiferromagnet and superconductivity theory to obtain the ground‐state energy and the excitation spectrum for arbitrary δ and temperature. We thus obtain a complete thermodynamic description. In particular, we calculate the paramagnetic susceptibility and compare it with experiment.
At 0°K, the solutions we present agree with or improve upon previous calculations, for either the regular (δ=0) or the alternating (δ≠0) antiferromagnet, of the ground‐state energy, the excitation spectrum, and the short‐range order. Using the finite temperature extension of the theory, we find good agreement between the calculated and the experimental paramagnetic susceptibilities of organic crystals whose structures, so far as spin properties are concerned, may be approximated by either the regular or the alternating antiferromagnet. The temperature dependence of the excitation energies, a many‐body effect describing the decrease of coherence between antiparallel electrons with increasing temperature, agrees with the observed behavior of the singlet—triplet energy gap in paramagneticexciton systems. Thus, we obtain the extension of excitontheory to arbitrary temperature and alternation. The electron pairs forming triplet excitations are, for any alternation, increasingly separated at high temperatures, where, as expected, the electrons behave like a paramagnetic gas.
Internal Energy of Reaction Products by Velocity Analysis. II. Scattered KBr* from the Crossed Molecular Beam Reaction K+Br243(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696893View Description Hide Description
The velocity distribution of excited KBr* formed in reactive collision between crossed beams of velocity‐selected K and thermal Br2 has been measured at several laboratory scattering angles and initial relative kinetic energies of 1.26, 2.14, and 3.27 kcal/mole. From these observations qualitative information may be inferred regarding the internal energydistribution function and the angular distribution of reactive scattering in the center‐of‐mass (c.m.) system. It is found that (1) the KBr* internal energy distribution is broad, extending over a range of at least 30 kcal/mole, with most of the 46 kcal/mole exothermicity of the reaction appearing in the form of internal excitation of KBr*, and (2) the angular distribution of reactive scattering in the ``forward'' direction (KBr preferring the direction of the incident K in the c.m. system), is characterized by a cone in the c.m. with an angle of generation of at least 30°.
Paramagnetic Resonance of Trivalent 57Fe in Double Nitrate Crystals43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696894View Description Hide Description
The paramagnetic resonance absorption spectra of trivalent iron in double nitrate crystals have been identified and fitted by two spin Hamiltonians which correspond to the two sites into which the iron enters these crystals. The two sites appear to be the same as those occupied by trivalent chromium ions. The spin‐Hamiltonian constants are reported for lanthanumzinc and ceriumzinc double nitrates at temperatures of 4.2°, 77°, and 193°K. The hyperfine interaction constant for 57Fe in either site is (10.9±0.3)×10−4 cm−1 which is very close to the value anticipated for a hydrated complex.
Crystal Structure of Tellurium at High Pressures43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696895View Description Hide Description
Powder x‐ray‐diffraction studies on tellurium up to 150 kbar show only two structural transitions at 40 and 70 kbar in agreement with Bridgman's work. The structure of the 40–70‐kbar phase is unsolved. Above 70 kbar, it is proposed that tellurium is isomorphous with β‐polonium and is rhombohedral with a=3.002±15 Å, α=103.3°±3° (P=115 kbar), space group with an atom in 1a (0, 0, 0).
Luminescence of Rare‐Earth‐Activated Zinc Sulfide43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696896View Description Hide Description
The line structure of the photoluminescence of ZnS:Tb, ZnS:Nd, ZnS:Tm, and ZnS:Dy has been studied under various preparative conditions. There is a strong tendency for rare‐earth pairing with other lattice defects in the presence of excess S. This pairing is manifested by the appearance of new emission lines and excitation bands. Of the many distinct sites for the rare‐earth ion, one seems to stand out as most important in electroluminescence, although it gives only a minor contribution to the photoluminescence. Using a variety of luminescent phenomena, we are able to count at least four distinct sites for trivalent rare‐earth ions in ZnS, and there is strong evidence that more exist.
Shear‐Relaxation Processes in Liquids43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696897View Description Hide Description
Both cooperative behavior, involving breakup and re‐formation of molecular aggregates, and environmental dissimilarities, attributed to incompleteness of short‐range order, have been proposed earlier by two of the authors as possible mechanisms giving rise to the distribution of shear‐relaxation times exhibited by most liquids. Experimental evidence is presented here giving qualitative indication that environmental‐dissimilarity effects indeed can be operative in a liquid together with cooperative phenomena. Shear‐relaxation characteristics are studied at a number of temperatures for a host liquid, hexachlorobiphenyl, having methanol and toluene in various concentrations as separate impurity liquids. Small amounts of the additive liquids are found to lessen the decay rate of cooperative behavior with increasing temperature, a result attributed to both degraded cooperative behavior and an environmental‐dissimilarity mechanism. Although cooperative behavior predominates throughout the temperature and concentration range investigated, in the low‐temperature region the impurity additive primarily decomposes aggregates of cooperative molecules, whereas at higher temperatures the impurity markedly enhances environmental dissimilarities and the distribution function widens with increasing (small) concentration. Toluene impurity additive displays greater degradation effect on cooperative behavior as well as greater enhancement of environmental dissimilarities than does methanol. Critical solution temperatures are noted as a matter of interest, and a method is presented for determining analytically the distribution of relaxation times associated with our experimentally determined components of shear modulus.
Photoionization‐Efficiency Curves. II. False and Genuine Structure43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696898View Description Hide Description
Specific examples are given of artifacts in photoionization‐efficiency curves that result from the use of a discrete‐line light source. A comparative technique is used to distinguish this false structure from genuine structure marking energy levels above the ionization potential (I.P.). More accurate I.P.'s than previously available are given for HCl, CH3Cl, CH3NO2, CH3CN, C2H4, C3H6, C2H2 and new values for CH4, CD4, C2H6, C3H8.
Normal Coordinate Analyses of Hydrogen‐Bonded Compounds. IV. The Acid Carbonate Ion43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696899View Description Hide Description
The infrared spectra of potassiumacidcarbonate and its deutero analog have been obtained from 4000 to 160 cm−1. The Raman spectrum of the latter has also been obtained in the crystalline state. A normal coordinate analysis has been carried out to estimate the force constants as well as to make theoretical band assignments. The infrared bands of the nondeuterated compound at ∼2620, 1405, and 248 cm−1 have been assigned to the O–H stretching, O–H···O in‐plane bending, and O···H stretching coupled with C=O bending modes, respectively. The corresponding force constants are: O–H stretching, 3.20, O–H···O bending, 0.22, and O···H stretching, 0.76 mdyn/Å. Plots of these force constants versus O–H···O distances for three compounds thus far investigated yield a linear relationship for each force constant.
Paramagnetic Resonance in L‐Cysteine Hydrochloride Irradiated at 77°K43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696900View Description Hide Description
An electron paramagnetic resonance study has been made on a single crystal of L‐cysteine hydrochloride irradiated with a 1.5‐MeV electron beam at 77°K. The hyperfine structure of the main resonance pattern was found to be an almost isotropic double doublet, whereas the g factor was found to be highly anisotropic but axially symmetrical, the principal values being 2.29, 1.99, and 1.99. The main resonance has been attributed to the free radicalwith the unpaired electron occupying one of the two nearly degenerate orbitals of the sulfur atom. A remarkable broadening of the resonance spectrum was observed at elevated temperatures, and evidence is given that this broadening is due to a short spin—lattice relaxation time due to a large spin—orbit coupling in this free radical.
Physical‐Adsorption Isotherm Based on a Triangular‐Site Model43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696901View Description Hide Description
A multilayer physical‐adsorption‐isotherm theory is developed; it assumes that a gas atom cannot be physically adsorbed in an upper layer unless there is a triangular array of three adsorbed atoms in the layer below forming a site for adsorption. Neighbor interactions via Lennard‐Jones intermolecular potentials are included in the calculation of the adsorption energy. The resultant isotherm is linear for low coverages, indicates a horizontal interaction correction to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm when there is only first‐layer coverage, and may yield a series of steps for sufficiently low temperature. Numerical adsorption isotherms for He on glass at 4.28° and 77°K are presented. The former isotherm exhibits distinctive steps when each layer is condensed, whereas the latter isotherm is quite smooth.
Microwave Spectrum, Dipole Moment, and Ring‐Puckering Vibration of β‐Propiolactone43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696902View Description Hide Description
The microwave spectrum of β‐propiolactone has been observed in the vibrational ground state and in the first four excited states of the ring‐puckering vibrational mode. The variation of the rotational constants with vibrational quantum number and the relative intensities of the observed vibrational satellites indicate that the vibration is essentially harmonic with ν0=160 cm−1 and with no appreciable barrier at the planar configuration. The dipole moment is 4.17±0.03 D, with μ a =3.67±0.03 D, μ b =1.99±0.02 D, and μ c =0 in both the ground and first excited states.
Effect of Temperature on Fluorescence Quantum Yields in Solution43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696903View Description Hide Description
Fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes have been measured as a function of temperature for anthracene and 9,10‐dichloroanthracene in hexane and ethanol. It was found that the radiative transition probabilities are very slightly temperature dependent. However, for the nonradiative processes, 9,10‐dichloroanthracene shows a strong temperature dependence, whereas anthracene shows none.
Monte Carlo Equation of State for Hard Spheres in an Attractive Square Well43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696904View Description Hide Description
The equation of state for hard spheres in a short‐range attractive square well has been calculated for several values of the well strength by the Monte Carlo method. For shallow wells, it has the same general form but lies everywhere below the equation of state for the simple hard‐core potential. As the well strength increases, two van der Waals loops appear, one at a density higher than the density of the order—disorder transition and one at a lower density.

Where's Havana?
I also ducked in and quickly ducked back out... but I was also starving and suddenly realized that they don't serve food.
I'm solving the food problem right now, but this is actually a good heads up, Dan: if I'm gonna wait half an hour for a drink, in a loud place where it's hard to hear people talk (I'll confess to a hearing problem), well... not sure I'm down.
That said, thanks, folks, for the offer, and I do sincerely appreciate it, even if I didn't take. If you saw a guy in beige with glasses and a backpack duck in, look around quickly and duck out, that was me.
We can always meet again sometime down the line and, of course, I'll be on Slog.
Cuba, AFAIK. Dan must have pulled strings to get a visa.
The guy in gold lamay and a codpiece, is that Fnarf or the guy from Cameo?
IIRC, Fnarf is way too white to be the guy from Cameo. WORD UP!!
Dan - The same damned thing happened to me at your beloved Liberty last weekend. In fact, I would go so far to say that my last *three* Liberty experiences have been sub-par (one downright bad).
I hope apathetic service doesn't become a theme in this town.
#6--I'm from Minneapolis, and I hate to tell you this, but apathetic service in one of the first things I noticed when I moved here. Five years later and nothing has changed. Also Seattle: learn the fucking rules of walking down a sidewalk!
p.s. I really do love this city though.
touch my butt! TOUCH IT!!!
i'm sorry. i just haven't really said anything for a long, long time.
ps---i hate havana. a pretentious twat of a bar.
completely off topic
hey adrian..
i'd've sent you this through your e-mail but couldn't find your address..
have you discovered the pleasures of alexyss k. taylor ?
and here ?
Dan & 6 & 7 - That apathy is nearly everywhere here, although it seems to be concentrated around Capitol Hill. Can't explain or understand why (related to "The Seattle Freeze?") but it's almost laughable how shitty the service can be in this city, especially from bartenders.
Worst offenders on the hill: Purr and Linda's. At both, the bartenders (not the waitresses) always seem to be occupied with something way more important than their customers. And when they finally decide to serve you, their attitude is like they're doing you a huge favor. Maybe it's some sort of pathetic power trip.
oops.. i mean tYlor.. alexyss tylor..
as you were
Havana fucked over the wrong customer... and there'll assuredly be hell to pay.
10. It's a hipster thing.
Why is this confidential to Havana? Which part is the confidential part? Shouldn't it be posted in invisible ink?
They do serve food.
I pretty much hate most bars on the weekend. Its hard to get service, hard to hear, and hard to be left alone with your friends. I ma really not a fan of overcrowded cramped spaces were I have to fight a crowd for a small chance of getting a crappy drink from a surly bartender. Honestly I can have much more fun in my living room with my friends.
@ 10
Me too! Arrived from the Midwest 6 years ago and could not believe the inept and non-existent customer service. These businesses wouldn't last a week outside of Seattle. I'm not just talking about the too cool for words 'hipster' businesses, but even mainstream chain stores. It's like I want to say to the clerks, "no don't bother, I'll ring myself up because your are too busy . . . staring off into space or whatever."
@ 7
Ditto! In America we walk on the right hand side of the sidewalk. That way everyone knows what's going on, instead this endless clusterf**k that jams up Seattle's sidewalks.
I have to add that there is at least one bar on Capitol Hill that has some of the most amazing, attentive and talented bartenders I've ever encountered anywhere. But I won't to say where it is, at least here.
If you go out enough and really think about it, you'll know where I'm talking about. The place where the bartenders are not flipping you shit but actually working to impress you. The place where you've probably tried a drink you'd never had before because the bartender actually knows how to make it, because he's an actual bartender and not some dude with a fledgling band or a dyke with a machismo complex. The place where you drink gin even though you always thought you hated it.
@ 6 - My friend had a horrible experience at Liberty last Friday. She's had multiple sub-par experiences there before, but this time she said she will never set foot in there again. I'm trying to get her to post on the Stranger restaurant guide, because I think it's a recurring problem there (but I wasn't there, so it's not my story to tell).
I've been wanting to try Havana - and now I know not to bother.
@19: Yes, and interesting to note that it is well off the Pike/Pine/15th/Broadway main drags set.
Speaking of Word Up: Cheers to astute observations @ 18 & 7.
I think I was in Havana once- are they the guys that have a cigar humidor in the back because they used to be a "cigar bar"? It was late, and my friends and I were looking for 'gars (this was before my smoker mom came down w/ pancreatic cancer.)
The cigar expert was very polite and helpful (good since we were each spending $30-50), but the place overall reeked of scenester-ism. I'm not surprised the bartender was aloof.
Thanks for being our secret shopper, Dan!
Napoleon, with regards to the use of the word "confidential" I believe Dan inserted an oxymoronic adjective into the title of post. It was intended to point out the inherently unconfidential nature of posting to his online minions.
Whether this was done to elicit a humorous reaction from his fans or a threat response from the owners of Havana, or more likely some combination of both, is unclear.
I never noticed a real service problem in Seattle during my eight years there - some specific places, sure, but not citywide. But I never lived on Capitol Hill and the only CH restaurants I made a point of visiting regularly, Monsoon and the Kingfish Cafe, had decent and very good service respectively.
It seems that the problem was NO service, not SLOW service.
For the most part, I don't mind being ignored or waiting in line:
Line by day, and night by-lines
I ain't got time to

Stick it on out

there's never a wait at the Wedgwood Broiler's lounge. especially since the career smokers have been exiled.
come on up to Wedgwood! there's enough orange upholstery for all!
Wedgewwood is purdy. Fiddler's Inn has cool open-mics too.
Thank God I live in Bellingham. Drinks are cheap and service is fast; these owner-run places know there's 15 other places you could take your business to. The blend of atypical students and people in town makes for a great bar scene. Sure, there's a couple of douchebag bars for the few would-be frat boys that didn't make it in to the UW and their hos, but most bars are holdovers from Bellingham's blue collar days. Small enough of a place to get to know your bartenders, too.
@19- you hit the nail right on the head.
In order for a class-12 lounge to keep their liquor license they must serve food, period. They must have food available during the hours they are serving alcohol. So if you ask the snooty hipster bartender if they serve food and they say "no" they are knowingly violating the Washington State liquor laws. The thing is, they have to stop what they are doing and get you food - most bartenders don't like doing that. But everyone who serves alcohol in this state is required to have a liquor permit (which requires them to sit through a two-hour class where they learn that they must provide food to people who are drinking.)
So a little hint...If you are sitting in a bar, and you are hungry and you ask for food and are denied - just whip out your fake Washington State Liquor Board Badge and demand food. Then watch the hipsters squirm. You can tell them later that you were just joking, after you have eaten of course.
611 - Good bar.
I won't go to Chapel because my experiences there have been just like the one Dan described at Havana.
Chapel sucks.
@19: why not say where it is?
@10: I have had the exact opposite experience with Purr. I like the place, and find the bartenders to be friendly and attentive.
@29: I couldn't agree more. I love Wedgewood, especially Fiddler's.
OMG. Don't get me started on bad service in Seattle. I've lived here for 20 years, and it drives me NUTS! Especially when you put cash down, and the remarkably indifferent waiter/waitress, without even looking at what you've put down, asks you if you "want change".
Well, Dan, we had fun, I think you were at the wrong end of the bar.
But if you had said the entrance is off 10th, it would have been way easier to find ...
oh, and Matt from Denver, you're right - just come over to Fremont and hang out in all our bars with good service ...
Duncan @33, you beat me to it. Chapel is the worst offender when it comes to slow, apathetic service. But I still love their happy hour.
Havana is notorious for under staffing, and even when somewhat adequately staffed, they're still slow as maple sap in January.
Havana gets around the food issue by having an arrangement with Via Tribunali across Pine to deliver pizza. The trick is, not surprisingly, to get the Havana staff to: A. order it; and B. go over and pick it up. We had to do both ourselves when I was there Wednesday night.
And @18 - uh, maybe the issue isn't that people in Seattle walk on the "wrong side" of the sidewalk, but that you've still got a mid-western stick up your as with regards to rules and regimentation.
Get over it.
If negotiating a busy sidewalk is a problem for you, I suggest you NEVER visit New York or Chicago, lest you be immediately trampled to death by people who don't give a flying fuck about which side of the sidewalk they walk on.
You know, given a choice between discussing sidewalk etiquette and hot, spoiled incarcerated sluts, I'm going to have to go w/ Option B.
You know, given a choice between discussing sidewalk etiquette and hot, spoiled incarcerated sluts, I'm going to have to go w/ Option B.
One thing we've gotten much better at in the last ten years or so is elevators. It used to be an elevator would arrive, and everyone would try to get on before anyone could get off.
Finally, people have figured out - as they did in other cities one hundred years ago - that you need to let the people off to make room for the new people.
Now THAT'S world class!
Sorry, # 24--I guess I've got irony-poor blood.
I hate to espouse conspiracy theory but crappy service during happy hour is par for the course. If there is no staff, less people drink cheap or eat cheap. I bet there is more staff after 7 when the drinks go up. Your best bet is tip the wait staff or bar tender BIG and order drinks two at a time.
perhaps people should stop tipping at bars where they recieve poor service. and make a note of it on the tab when you're being rung up.
it's not just bars and restaurants....think of all the retail establishments that don't have enough staff for busy times of the day...it's ludicrous...at stores, i just drop my shit and go...for bars and restaurants, they get a couple chances then then go on the 'no fly' list...haven't been to Linda's for three years due to the snotty service...22 Doors is inept and always out of stuff...1200 Bistro is pretty lame, too...Purr is chronically understaffed and the drink prices are ludicrous...
