Gameday Central l The Stadium l Loudermilk l The Kenan Family l The Foundation
Considering its majestic setting among the Carolina pines, many observers say Kenan Stadium is the most beautiful football facility in the country. For scenery, atmosphere and charm, it cannot be surpassed.
The stadium has been expanded several times since its completion in 1927. In each instance, though, great care was taken to keep its fundamental beauty intact.
In 2011, Carolina opened the Loudermilk Center for Excellence and a premium seating section named the Blue Zone. Alumnus R. Charles "Charlie" Loudermilk Sr. of Atlanta made a $7.5 million donation to fund the 150,000 square-foot facility that serves all of Carolina's nearly 800 student-athletes across 28 sports.
The Loudermilk Center's largest feature is the John W. Pope Student-Athlete Academic Support Center. This 29,000 square-foot facility provides classrooms for teaching and tutoring, advanced computer technology, a writing lab, reading rooms and office space. It is also home to the Baddour Carolina Leadership Academy, which offers leadership training to Carolina student-athletes, coaches and staff. A $3 million gift from the Raleigh-based John William Pope Foundation funded the academic support center.
Also housed in the Loudermilk Center is a strength and conditioning center for Carolina's Olympic sports programs, facilities for men's lacrosse and a visitor's locker room that can be split to host high school football championships. Other features include premium seating for fans watching football games, as well as office and operations space for the department of athletics.
The Blue Zone, offers 1,836 seats in the Concourse Club/Loge just a few feet from the field, 824 seats in the Upper Club/Loge on the fourth floor and 320 seats in 20 suites on the fifth floor. Combined, the project adds 2,980 seats to the stadium's capacity. The project will also tie the north and south concourses together and will provide the stadium with 360 degree concourse to enhance fan movement in the facility.
Located in the west end zone, the Kenan Football Center was completed in 1997 and houses the operational needs of the Carolina football program. The football center includes the UNC locker room, weight room, training room, equipment room, players' lounge, computer labs and study areas, 100-plus seat auditorium, coaches' offices, theater and Hall of Honor.
An additional floor was added to the Kenan Football Center after the 2008 season. The fifth floor contains additional office and recruiting space for the day-to-day operations of the football program, four pregame gathering areas, a larger video and studio facility and a state-of-the-art press conference area. The recruiting area and suites also are used as academic study areas during the week. The second floor was completely renovated for increased football meeting spaces, including bigger individual position meeting rooms and a larger team meeting room. The fourth floor renovations added additional office space for football support staff.
The Charlie Justice Hall of Honor, located on the ground floor, is a multi-media history of Carolina football. Photographs, awards, trophies and artifacts detailing the rich and storied history of the sport in Chapel Hill are on display. The James A. Heavner Theater was made possible by a special gift by the former executive producer of the Tar Heel Sports Network and president of Vilcom. The theater is a 30-person mini-theater equipped with surround sound and seven dramatic videos presenting the history of UNC football.
A number of rooms in the Kenan Football Center have been dedicated in the honor or memory of Carolina's benefactors, fans and athletic personalities. They include the Brinkley Lounge, the fourth floor reception area named for Harvey M. Brinkley Jr.; the Don McCauley/Paul Miller Head Coach's Suite; the Norman M. (Buddy) Black Jr. Lounge, the fourth floor hospitality area; the Oscar Davenport/Chris Keldorf Quarterback Meeting Room, as given by Bob Biggerstaff; the Jo Allison Clary Smith Weight Room; the Carolina Football Players' Locker Room, named in behalf of the more than 400 former Tar Heels who donated more than $2 million to the project; the Nassif Offensive Staff Meeting Room; the Ann and Paul Lawing Coaches' Locker Room; Koury Box North, box seating on the north side of the stadium named for Maurice J. Koury; the John W. Pope Academic Support Facility; the John W. Pope Stadium Box, a stadium box on the north side; the John D. Swofford Auditorium and the Jimmy W. Garrell coaches meeting room.
The 1997 expansion project, in which great care was taken to ensure that the surrounding environment would be altered as little as possible, was the first project to connect the north and south concourses to either end of the lower deck via the third level of the Kenan Center. That project also added nearly 8,000 seats, a state-of-the-art football facility, chancellor's box and preferred seating box. The Rams Club and its members committed more than $50 million to the project.
The football center is named in honor of the late Frank H. Kenan, one of the school's most generous benefactors. Kenan was a Durham resident and chief executive officer of Kenan Transport Company in Chapel Hill. He passed away at age 83 in 1996.
Kenan, a 1935 Carolina graduate, was the great-great-grandson of General James Kenan, a member of the University's founding board of trustees. An Atlanta native, Kenan had a tremendous impact on the growth of the University. He served on many campus boards, including the Board of Visitors and the Educational Foundation Board of Directors.
In recent years the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust, of which he was a trustee, has donated more than $100 million to schools in the state's consolidated university system, including Carolina, NC State and the N.C. School of the Arts. Among other things, the trust funds 92 William R. Kenan Jr. Professorships at 56 colleges and universities nationwide.
Kenan served on the steering committee of Carolina's Bicentennial Campaign, the University's largest fund-raising effort. Gifts by him, his family and the trust during the campaign exceeded $31 million. The largest portion of that was targeted for the business school. In 1991 the school was renamed the Kenan-Flagler Business School after a $10 million gift.
The preferred seating box that rises above the second deck of the grandstand on the north side of the stadium has outdoor seating for almost 1,200 spectators. That includes the Chancellor's Box on the second level of the box 45 feet above the ground. The fourth level, 68 feet high, has outdoor seating for more than 1,000, plus concessions and a 7,500 square foot lounge. There is a smaller lounge and food preparation areas on the third floor.
The Kenan Football Center and preferred seating box are the predominant changes in a multi-year renovation plan that began in 1995. A new playing field was installed that spring. The new turf includes an improved drainage system beneath the field that drains through the field itself rather than off the sides of the field as in the past. Prior to the 1996 season the restrooms and concession stands were expanded and renovated.
Another significant stadium expansion took place prior to 1988 and involved adding 2,000 choice seats between the 40-yard lines where the press box and chancellor's box formerly stood. A new press box was constructed on top of the upper deck on the stadium's south side. It is a one-level elongated structure, running from 10-yard line to 10-yard line.
Also part of the 1987-88 project were a permanent lighting system, a chancellor's lounge on the north side of the field and a football lettermen's lounge on the south side. The lights are part of a General Electric low-mount system which minimizes the height of the lightpoles. Cost of the entire project was $7 million. It was funded by private gifts and bonds.
William Rand Kenan Jr. deserves the credit for originally making the stadium a part of the University. He was born in North Carolina in 1873 and graduated from Carolina in 1894. An international industrialist, Kenan discovered carbide and made monumental progress in the field of chemistry. During his business career he was president of The Florida East Coast Railroad, The Florida East Coast Hotel Company, The West Palm Beach Water Company and the Florida East Coast Car Ferry Company.
He was a director of Florida Power and Light Company and built the first power plant in Miami in the early 1900s. The stadium was built as a memorial to his parents, William R. Kenan and Mary Hargrave Kenan. Construction began in November 1926 and was completed the following August. Complete cost of the stadium and accompanying fieldhouse was $303,000.
Originally, the stadium was to be built through funds raised by alumni donations, and by June 1926, a group of nearly 40 alumni had contributed $27,926. At this time, however, a copy of the prospectus and plan of financing the stadium came into the hands of Kenan, who expressed an interest in the proposal. Kenan was considering establishing a memorial to his parents, and the pressing need for a stadium and the possibilities of the beauty, dignity and permanence it presented, suggested to him that the benefaction he contemplated may well take the form of a memorial stadium. The Stadium Committee immediately endorsed his proposal and on the very day in November 1926 on which Kenan visited the planned site, he announced his financial gift to build the stadium.
Kenan remained very interested in Kenan Stadium throughout his lifetime. In the 1950s he gave a $1,000,000 contribution to construct a second deck on the stadium. After Kenan's death in 1965 the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust, which was established by his will, donated $1,000,000 to enlarge and modernize Kenan Fieldhouse.
In 1988 the Kenan Trust made another $1,000,000 gift to complete the new chancellor's box on the North Side. Another lasting memory of William R. Kenan Jr. is the Kenan Athletic Scholarship Endowment, valued at over $1,000,000. Each year a student-athlete is awarded a full scholarship from this fund.
Besides giving the stadium to the University, Mr. Kenan also sponsored and financed the famous Kenan Professorships. He was awarded the honorary degree of LL.D. by his alma mater in 1944.
In the first game played there, Carolina defeated Davidson, 27-0, on November 12, 1927. Carolina's all-time record at Kenan Stadium is 249-162-16. The most points scored by the Tar Heels in Kenan came in the third game played there as Carolina whipped Wake Forest, 65-0, in the 1928 season opener.
As originally built, the stadium seated 24,000. However, in 1963 the benefactor added portable stands and then an upper deck to the permanent stands, which increased capacity to 48,000. That was expanded to 50,000 in 1979, 52,000 in 1988, 57,500 in 1997 and 60,000 in 1998.
At the East end of the stadium is the Kenan Fieldhouse, home of the Student-Athlete Development Center. A 20,000 square foot building, it is a one-of-a-kind facility. For study purposes, it contains a language lab, video room, computer lab, theatre-style lecture hall, several reading rooms and numerous tutorial rooms. UNC's academic counseling staff has the advantage of using the most modern techniques in assisting student-athletes.
Capacity crowds have come to be expected at Kenan. In 1997, the Tar Heels played in front of a record-shattering crowd of 62,000 on Nov. 8, 1997, as fifth-ranked Carolina battled No. 2 Florida State. The largest crowd to watch a game prior to the most recent major expansion was 54,300 as Carolina defeated N.C. State, 31-17, in 1994.
The 1983 season saw another first in the stadium a game played under artificial lights. The Carolina-Duke game was played in the late afternoon so it could be televised throughout the ACC area. Portable lights were brought in since the second half was played after sunset. Portable lights were also used in the 1987 Clemson game which was televised nationally by ESPN.
The 1991 season opener versus Cincinnati and that season's Clemson game, which was televised nationally by ESPN, were the first true night games ever played at Kenan Stadium.

By Rob Kelly
Theo Walcott says the players should take responsibility for Arsenal's recent dip in form.
The Gunners have slipped to three successive league defeats but will look to bounce back when they face Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Walcott expects Alex McLeish's men to pose a serious challenge in the fourth-round tie at Emirates Stadium and he has called for the home side to deliver.
"We need to make sure we're ready, because the last few games haven't been great. As players we need to stand up and take responsibility for that," Walcott told Arsenal Player.
"The manager has looked after us and taken all the flak, but it's us players that go out there on the pitch and perform. Hopefully we can put in a good performance on Sunday; I'm looking forward to it.
"The FA Cup is one of those trophies that we would love to win. Being at home, with our support, we need to be winning these games. It's a shame we didn't get a different team, because we play Villa in the Premier League, but they will be up for it and will have a strong team out.
Walcott is wary of the threat posed by the likes of Darren Bent, but he is hoping for a similar result to the Gunners' 2-1 victory at Villa Park on December 21.
"The biggest memory for me [of that match] was the smallest player on the pitch in Yossi Benayoun scoring with a header! I don't think he's ever done that in his career!" said Walcott.
"It was a good battle. I won the penalty for Robin to score the opening goal, and then Marc Albrighton took his goal very well, which took us by surprise. But we went all out in the last 20 minutes and deserved the win."

Hello all! This turned out a lot longer than expected. Sorry!
I'm a very longtime lurker and admirer that finally joined up... and just remembered I never introduced myself. I'm Jen, and am actually from fabulous south Devon, England. I moved to Atlanta at the end of 2009 to be with my then-boyfriend (we got married last year, so it went quite well) and am still not a fan of the heat. I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan and also a massive comics geek, and always wanted to have an armoured Star Wars costume but there were no female characters I felt I could do, and sadly I would have made a terrible AT-AT. My second dream costume was Shockwave (Transformers G1). Failing both of those, I stuck with superhero costumes and have spent most of my time at conventions as various Marvel characters (I also have a Supergirl costume that I wear for events with my non-profit group, Heroes Alliance). You can see those here on my flickr.
In 2007/8 I was on another board and flirting with the idea of creating an original Mandalorian, but ended up losing interest (I suck at originals) and drifting away. Then, when the first rumour of Katee Sackoff voicing a female Mandalorian in Clone Wars surfaced, I looked at my husband and said "DONE." (Huge BSG fan here too.) Finally, a character for me to do! ... So I spent a couple of years feeling like I would never be able to do Bo-Katan justice because all the ones I've seen have been so brilliant. But a kick up the arse from my husband and a fantastic season five of Clone Wars motivated me to go ahead with it, so I've been slowly working on it since March. It's excruciatingly slow going because I work full time as an aquarium trainer and am an artist outside of work with very little time for other things, but I'm pleased with my progress so far and am excitedly waiting for some mail from Cruzer and Seeker this month. Hooray! Once I've gotten some more done this weekend I may make a thread.
Lovely to meet you all!

ATLANTA, February 1, 2011 – The High Museum of Art will continue its collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA), with the exclusive presentation of the major exhibition "Picasso to Warhol: Fourteen Modern Masters" beginning October 2011. This exhibition will present approximately 100 works of art created by 14 of the most iconic artists from the 20th century: Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Constantin Brancusi, Fernand Léger,
Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, Romare Bearden, Louise Bourgeois, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. "Picasso to Warhol" will be one of the largest concentrations of modern art masterpieces to ever be exhibited in the southeastern United States. Co-organized by the High Museum of Art and MoMA, the exhibition will be on view only in Atlanta from October 15, 2011, through April 29, 2012.
The achievements of these pioneers of modern art will be presented in depth, exploring each artist's stylistic development and highlighting their role in the most important artistic developments of the 20th century, including the invention of Cubism, the emergence of abstraction and the development of Surrealism. Highlights of the exhibition include:
• Henri Matisse's "Dance (I)," 1909
• Pablo Picasso's "Girl before a Mirror," 1932, and "Night Fishing at Antibes," 1939
• Jasper Johns's "Map," 1961
• Andy Warhol's "Self-Portrait," 1966
• Constantin Brancusi's "Bird in Space," 1928
• Jackson Pollock's "Number 1A," 1948
• Fernand Léger's "Three Women," 1921–1922
• Romare Bearden's "The Train," 1970
• Alexander Calder's "Portrait of a Man," 1929, and "Spider," 1939
• Louise Bourgeois's "Quarantania, I," 1947–1953
• Giorgio de Chirico's "The Song of Love," 1914
• Marcel Duchamp's "In Advance of the Broken Arm," 1964
• Joan Miró's "Person Throwing a Stone at a Bird," 1926
• Piet Mondrian's "Composition No. II, with Red and Blue," 1929
"From Picasso and Matisse to the reinventions of Pollock, Johns and Warhol, this exhibition will offer our visitors a personal encounter with the modern masters unlike any exhibition in the past," said Michael E. Shapiro, the High's Nancy and Holcombe T. Green, Jr. Director. "These artists ushered in new ways of thinking that forever transformed the artistic landscapes of Europe and the U.S. and reinvented the very idea of art. Our visitors will see the development of each artist's signature style and the works considered to be among their best, giving the residents of our city, state and region a unique opportunity to experience the historic foundations of modern art."
"Picasso to Warhol" continues a multi-year, multi-exhibition collaboration between the High and MoMA, which was launched in 2009 with "Monet Water Lilies," the first in a series of six exhibitions. On view from June 4 through August 14, 2011, will be the second exhibition, "Modern by Design." Following "Picasso to Warhol," a second large-scale exhibition and two additional focus shows are in development for 2012 and 2013. The initiative builds on successful past collaborations between the High and MoMA that resulted in four exhibitions presented in Atlanta between 1997 and 2000. This project will extend ties between the institutions through professional exchanges, development of educational programs and publications and reciprocal admission benefits.

The infamous Gh0st remote access Trojan (RAT) has been spotted working alongside a new backdoor Trojan that steals Firefox stored passwords and operates in DDoS attacks.
Researchers at FireEye discovered infected machines running both the cyberespionage-linked Gh0st and the so-called Backdoor.ADDNEW malware, with each also phoning home to the same command-and-control (C&C) IP address. "We saw the machines getting infected with Gh0st within one week of them getting infected with ADDNEW. The machines used the "Gh0st" magic keyword to beacon back to their CnCs," wrote Vinay Pidathala, security content researcher for FireEye.
Gh0stNet is best known for widespread cyberespionage attacks targeting high-profile diplomatic, military, political, and economic systems around the world, including in Iran, India, South Korea, Thailand, Germany, and other parts of Asia. One of its main targets was the Dalai Lama and related Tibetan operations, and researchers say signs point to a Chinese connection.
Backdoor.ADDNEW is based on Russian malware called DaRK DDoSer, which can steal stored passwords in the Firefox browser and use the compromised machines in DDoS attacks.
Pidathala says Backdoor uses a custom protocol via TCP in its C&C communications. "The malware also communicates to its CnC about the port it's listening on," he wrote. "We also noticed another type of communication where the malware clearly informs its CnC that it is awaiting further commands for it to take actions on the compromised machine."
FireEye is still studying elements of the commands being issued by the attackers in the malware, but provides several screen shots of how the malware is communicating with the C&C infrastructure in its post.
"More importantly though, there are strings in the binary referencing "DarkDDOSER." One can only speculate if in some way "DarkDdoser" and the Gh0st RAT complement each other," Pidathala said in the blog post today.

text: Hey fellow Fetters I just bought a MOW flak vest and neck seal from a fellow member here at TDH but I'm a little confused as to how the neck seal closes in the back as there are no closures on it. Also I'm curious how others have prepped their vests for armor attachment. I plan on sewing Velcro onto the vest as my existing armor was attached to a prior vest using the same method. I guess my question is how do you lay the whole thing out so the armor is spaced and centered correctly on the vest. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If this has been discussed in a prior thread I apologize for this request. Thanks in advance.

Guest Blogger Simple Citizen on The Suicidal Patient's Right to Have Advance Directives Honored
Simple Citizen is a psychiatrist reader with his own blog (see our sidebar). This started as a comment, but I asked to use it as a stand-alone post. Dr. Citizen writes:
We have the right to die, but not the right to commit suicide.
This makes my life in Consult Psychiatry extremely difficult, especially when someone has an Advance Directive that states "Do-Not-Resusciate" and then they try to kill themselves.
They arrive at the hospital in critical condition, the medical team knows the need to be intubated and they are likely going to go into cardiac arrest. Should they intubate them and save them because suicide is illegal, and the person may want to live when they are not in crisis? Or do the doctor's let the patient die because of the patient's pre-written wishes?
Worse yet - what if the person didn't have an advance directive, but when they are crashing in the hospital, they tell the whole medical team that they refuse CPR and intubation. Does a person who just attempted suicide have the capacity to make that decision?
More of my thoughts here if you're interested:
So here's my question: okay, it's one thing if someone checks into a hotel room, makes a serious attempt, notifies no one, has an Advance Directive in their hand and a DNR order tattoo'd on their forehead, but oops, the maid finds them. That's it's own touchy issue -- unless you're their wife or mother or son, in which case I don't think it's a question at all. But what do we do about the patient who overdoses, then emerges from the bathroom to tell their significant other "I just took all my pills". Or the person who makes an attempt then dials 911 or goes to the ER. How do you stand there and let someone die because they have a piece of paper saying they don't want CPR or intubation? Is it really reasonable to have this type of attempt and announce it? Isn't there an element of cruelty to it? So many people attempt suicide and wake up glad to be alive.
I'm going to add that I don't believe Advance Directives made by people without psychiatric disorders are binding if the patient does not have a terminal illness. A healthy person can't go into a routine appendectomy or tonsillectomy and say "if something goes wrong, you can't even attempt to resuscitate me." No surgeon or anesthesiologist would ever accept that malpractice risk. --"I'm so sorry Mr. Smith, buy your 20 year old son had a tension pneumothorax during the procedure, and we could have intubated him and put in a chest tube, and he'd have spent a couple of the days in the ICU then made a full recovery, but he said no tubes/no intubation." Advance Directives are meant for situations where someone has a terminal condition -- cancer or Alzheimer's Disease, or AIDS. And what would we do about children? Would we allow a parent to make a healthy child DNR in the event of treatable illness?

After a few weeks at home, to rest and regroup, the time was nearing to return to WY. This trip would be a rifle hunt, on my remaining cow elk tag. In the same area I had bowhunted in Sept.
As if on cue, just 2 days prior to our departure, I received a call. It was to inform me the codriver that was to drive with me was unable to make the trip, due to personal issues that had come up.
So, just as the previous trip, I would be working a 12hr grave shift and leaving directly from work in the morning.
So again, I headed down I-84 alone, only this time the weather was looking wet when I left.
Fortunately, in no time, the weather changed and I left the rainbelt.
After an uneventful drive, I arrived in WY late at night on Oct 12th, 3 days before opening day of rifle elk.
The next morning, after some further loading and, picking up a few more items at the local market, we topped off all the vehicles and headed to the elk camp.
Pretty much found the camp the way it was left a few days before by my son.
After some more set up and rearranging in camp, my son, grandson and myself took off on the quads to search out some wild chickens. We headed up a road that would become known as "the grouse road".
In no time, a grouse appeared on the road ahead and I dismounted the quad and quickly wiffed a rushed shot. As I approached, my son said something like "there's another off to the right. So, as I swung on that bird, more birds began to flush and some ran. My son got off the quad and told his son to stay put. The next 3 or so minutes gave us the quickest 2 man limit I can remember. Before it was done, we jumped at least a dozen grouse and bagged our 3 each. We didn't bother to finish out our ride on the road and, instead headed back to camp to get a picture with the camera we had forgotten to throw in.
The following day we continued to tweak the details of camp, cut firewood, double check the siting of everyone's rifles and, of course, shot some more birds. We ate jumbalya with hotlinks and grouse meat for dinner, to lower our possession numbers.
Finally, opening morning arrived on Monday and, we all had big expectations. We split up into two groups and headed in somewhat different direction but, in the same general area.
There was a bull that would bugle occasionally but not often or close enough to pinpoint.
Each time we would hear shots, I'd call my son on the radio to check if it were them. "No" was the answer, all day.
Myself and the friend who was moving along with me saw no elk that day but, my son saw a nice 6pt and some cows. They just couldn't get into position for good shots or didn't get the chance to setup for the shot. They couldn't have shot the bull anyway, they both had cow tags. He (my son) had already made up his mind he wasn't shooting his cow until his wife's cousin shot his elk first.
My son had to return to town for work. From Tuesday on, it would be just Jarred and I there at camp.
On Tuesday, we went back to the same area, 2-3 miles in off the road. We had a bull screaming at us on our walk in, in the dark. Before we got to the area we intended to hunt, it started raining and as the day progressed it got worse. Then, the wind picked up and we had some snow and sleet mixed in. I was expecting the weather to be a help to our hunt but, it never did materialize that way.
Along about 10:00 we sat down and built a nice fire to dry out and warm up. We ate some Mountain House meals and brewed fresh coffee. Man, it was tough putting the fire out and moving on. At some point during the day, we had another bull bugling. It wasn't like a rutting bugle more of like a bugle to let the cows know where he was.
By the time we finished our hunt and returned to camp, I didn't have a stitch of dry clothing on. We put dry clothed on and proceeded with the trenching of the camp and tightening everything we could to help with wind and rain combat. It was raining so hard we were both trenched again within about an hour and just continued to finish up in our wet clothes.
It was nice having the wood stove all stoked and the tent warmed when we finished and hit the rack for the night.
We spent the next day's hunt near camp. As we headed up a meadow to access a nearby ridgeline we were going to check, we heard the sounds of a love sick cow moose and the returning call, or rather grunts, of a bull. We sat and waited a shortwhile to see if they would make a showing but, it became apparent they were headed deeper in the timber on the opposite side from where we were headed.
As we hunted our way across, we heard shots below and slightly behind us. We were quick to give ourselves some credit in what ever success there may have been. We were sure we had pushed what ever they were shooting at toward them.
We eventually came up on a timbered flat spot. Sort of a knob, standing out by itself back from the surrounding ridges. There was grass under there and windfalls too. I caught movement ahead and motioned to Jarred to watch and be ready. It turned out to be deer. Somehow, this nice 4pt (probably 24 inch, give or take) and decent 3pt had made it through the rifle season. It was good to know there were decent bucks left. I planned on hunting the area or not far from there, if I draw my buck tag next year.
We spent the evening hunt in the same area where I had initially got my bull in bow season to answer my calls. There was good sign there and we decided we would likely return there in the morning , with more time to cover more ground. Just 200 yards down the road from where we had been parked, a cow jumped out on the road and, spun around and returned to the timber she had come from, so quick we almost thought we had imagined it. Jarred jumped out and moved into the brush to see if he could get a look at her, or any others that might have been with her. He could still hear her running down the side of the canyon and back up the otherside. He returned to the rig with a renewed confidence in the area we were planning to hunt the next morning.
Morning came early and I tried to talk myself out of the morning's hunt. I even went so far as to discuss the idea with Jarred and, all that did was wake me more to the point I wasn't going to sleep anymore anyway.
We headed back up to where we had spent the prior evening hunt.
After making our way to a ridgeline, we separated and began our hunt, down through some dark timber and across to another ridgeline. We discussed over the radios which way to head from this point. It was decided we'd head back to the road where we had left the rig and head back to camp and get some chores done before evening.
Not 2 mins after the discussion on the radios, Jarred called to tell me a cow had just ran past him but, he didn't hear her in time and wasn't able to get ready. So, he didn't get a shot. The elk were really spooked around the places we were finding them. It was kinda wierd.
Jarred struck off on his own for the evening, to a ridgeline that was accessible from a quad trail. I, of course, returned to "the grouse road" for more fresh protien to throw in the pot.
I let Jarred know I was planning on sleeping the next morning and trying to do some of my laundry in camp. We discussed plans for a hunt for him the next morning and he decided to make his final choice in the morning.
When Jarred returned to camp, he had some bad news of sorts. While on his hunt, he had found a cow. Some one had made a good shot on her but, it didn't appear they tried real hard to find her. She was pretty much in a fairly open area and there was an obvious blood trail right to her. She was a collared and ear tagged cow. He was kinda bummed to have found her and I could tell it sorta took the wind out of his sails some.
I got out and got a few more birds before we headed out for an evening hunt.
For the evening, we decided to return to the area the cow had run past Jarred, the day before.
We devised a new plan for the area. I dropped Jarred off at a quad trail. He would walk that trail for 1/2-1 mile and then head up over the ridge. I drove on to a spot that was on the opposite side of the ridge and would be moving in a similar direction and then would turn and drop back into the hole we had hunted previously but, I hunted it in the opposite direction as before. I followed an old overgrown firebreak road I had stumbled onto in the previous hunt. It made for quiet walking and allowed me to cover more ground than if I was pushing the undergrowth. Eventually, I got to a point where I knew I had to strike out in the intended hunt direction. Probably just another 400 or so yards and I walked into a big open grassy spot on the hillside. I guess you could call it a meadow. As I rounded the curve of the meadow and began to drop into the first draw below me, elk began to run in 2 different directions. I had dropped right down into their bedding area and it was so thick I didn't see them until they got up to run.
Then, straight across the draw, at about 150 yards, a cow walked into a window between 2 trees. She stopped and I raised my rifle for an off handed shot. The crosshairs set on the mark and I squeezed off the shot. I couldn't believe my eyes, she was still just standing there. I looked in disbelief and considered she might be a stump and my mind was playing tricks on me but, as quickly as that thought was formed, I discounted as I remebered seeing her step into the opening. I quickly put the crosshairs on her again and sent another round down range. It looked as if she raised her front legs and spunaround to head down hill from where she had stood. I couldn't see her, almost immediately, due to the thick windfall and brush in the area. I headed straight toward where I had last seen her but, I was off my mark a bit in all the excitement. I looked and tried to find where the ground was torn up from her initial movement uphill into the window and, also, possibly where she had traded ends on the second shot. I had the sick feeling come over me in the pit of my stomach. Had I really missed? Right at that thought, I heard it, the gasp. Everyone who has hunted long knows what 'm talking about, the sound of her last breath being released. I knew instantly she was down and I was not up high enough on the hill. I went directly to the sound and, there she lay, in her final resting place.
By this time Jarred was calling me on the radio to ask if I was doing the shooting. "Yep, get over here. She's down" was my reply. It was 5:00pm straight up.
We worked into the dark to get her all bagged and prepped for the pack out the next day. Jarred carried a quarter over his shoulder and I loaded my newly acquired Badlands 2200 with the backstraps, tenderloins, some hamburger trim and the heart and we headed to camp.
It was Friday and everyone was back at camp for the weekend. I was tagged out for my first WY elk season.
The next morning, I packed the rest of the elk out as everyone else headed out for what was Jarreds last day in WY. I shot another bird on the way back out too.
I was able to butcher, wrap and put inthe freezer most of the elk while everyone else was out hunting during the day.
Jarred left left for his ride home to Oregon as soon as we finished dinner.
This is the only pic I have of my cow. The freezer has the cow minus the grind trim.
I finished what was left, mostly trimming and cleaning up hamburger trim, on Sunday morning, while they all made a morning hunt. It gave me some time to spend with a young cowboy, my grandson Hunter.
When everyone returned from their hunt(empty handed) we gathered up things and headed into town for a few days off from hunting. Over the past week, I was able to shoot a total of 17 grouse.
The first morning back in town, we woke to this.
I started out the day grinding.
And just kept grinding until it was done.
Then, it was time for dinner, tenderloin on the grill with baked potatoes.
On Thursday, My wife and I drove back to camp, to check on the condition of things after it had been snowing.
Here's a few pics of the drive in.
When we arrived at camp I immediately noticed this.
A mere 60 yards from our tent, nearly in our camp, a gut pile from that morning. I really couldn't believe someone had actually shot an elk , literally in our camp. How did they know no one was in the tent or walking around the camp by the river etc.?
Here are the other things we saw on our arrival.
So, it was time to clean up camp and prep the parking spots.
What, doesn't everyone bring a plow blade for their quad to elk camp?
So, I loaded up the needed essentials (dog and guns) and headed of to look for birds with my "huntin' machine".
Saw some nice views from a ridge the quad trail took us to.
Friday came and the people returned to camp to hunt.
I was able to spend more time with my grandson. He was all ready with his pack and coon skin cap.
Young Hunter even made time in his schedule to take ol' Paw Paw out for a hunt in the snow. We went looking for birds with the scatter gun.
The time past fast and before we knew it, it was Sunday, our last day at camp.
We had most of the camp packed when the hunters returned to camp.
A friend that was out hunting with my son and daughter in-law had scored.
Here is Barts 4pt, from the last day out, just 3 days before the bull season was to close and then only cows are allowed to be tagged.
We threw together a quick hot lunch for the hunters. Then, we gathered remaining items and hooked up the horse trailer and headed out. It wasn't 5 min. from camp and our young Hunter was out like a light. I guess all the excitement finally caught up with him.
Wish I could say that was the end of the story and leave it at that but, it wasn't.
The next morning, on our drive home, about 30 miles west of Pocatello ID, we hit an elk. I was able to limp to Mountain home and get to a Les Schwab. A fella named Javier helped us out and was able to get someone in Boise to build another axle for our trailer. We were back on the road by 3:00pm amd the total time was 22 1/2 hours from door to door, back home. It's usually 13 hour drive.
Here are some pics of the trailer.
Lost a fender too.
Overall, it was another great trip and plenty of quality family time spent in the woods

Hello there,
I am looking to go out and complete a TEFL course in the next few weeks in Thailand.
However, I would like some reassurance that langauge schools actually hire all year round - it seems quite unlikely.
Does anyone have experience of the job market for English Teachers in Thailand - and how difficult it is to find work for a qualified teacher with a degree?
Thanks alot for your responses,


text: Every cloud has a silver lining. If the Pistons would have made it we would be hearing about how they are ruining the game and how much better it would have been with a young superstar like Lebran. This is going to be the lowest rated series ever and at least they can't tag it on us.

Eaton Compressor threatens to sue me over "Made in China" compressor post
Just wanted to let everyone know that Matt Cain, the President of Eaton Compressor, has threatened me with a frivolous lawsuit over a discussion that mentions how Eaton Compressors are made in China. He also indicated that he had previously pressured other forums into deleting similar threads.
Mr. Cain has been attempting to strong-arm me into revealing the identity of a Hotrodders.com forum member, and threatening me with legal action if I didn't remove a certain post on this forum. Most recently, after a phone call with Mr. Cain in which he told me: "I will not stop with just making threats", I got a letter from Mr. Cain's lawyer, Richard W. Miller of the law firm Balyeat, Leahy, Daley & Miller, requesting the identity of the poster.
I have refused to provide Mr. Cain's lawyer with any information (ie: email address or IP addresses) that would lead to the identity of the Hotrodders.com member.
If you are a forum administrator reading this thread, here's the important part: You don't have to delete anything for Eaton Compressor, or give them any information about anybody. They have no legal ground to stand on, and are simply threatening you with baseless legal claims.
On this forum, the post in question is here. It's currently coming up #3 in Google for searches for "Eaton compressor". In the post, a Hotrodders.com member quoted a post from GarageJournal.com, in which a GarageJournal.com member quoted an email from Eaton Compressor, stating that certain Eaton products are "built in China".
Mr. Cain has made some ridiculous legal claims about this post in an attempt to get it pulled. Oddly, the post appears to simply be reproducing an email sent by Eaton Compressor itself.
Mr. Cain told me that "if 60% of the machine is made here, the machine is considered 'Made in the USA' by law", which seems be a generous interpretation of the actual docs from the Federal Trade Commission. It's very interesting to see how the President of a huge compressor company interprets the concept of "Made in the USA". Not that there's anything inherently evil about Chinese manufacturing, but there is something wrong with twisting the truth.
In the letter from the law firm, Mr. Cain's lawyer said: "In fact the reference to the product being made in China is simply no longer truthful."
Yes folks, he didn't say "not true" he said "no longer truthful". My guess is that, the compressor in question was originally considered "Made in China", and an Eaton Compressor tech guy revealed that in an email to a prospective customer, who reproduced it on a forum. Later, through generous mathematics and some creative lawyering, perhaps Eaton Compressor was able to bring the spin on that product up over Cain's "60%" figure, and thus could now claim that it was "Made in the USA". After they took care of that, Cain probably wanted to do some retroactive damage control, and figured some administrator-threatening would work to eliminate the evidence from Google.
I have no idea as to what percentage of Eaton Compressor's products are manufactured in China, and I'm not familiar with the in-the-trenches legal maneuvering that decides the day-to-day interpretation of the phrase "Made in the USA". However, I could not help but notice that an article in the Dayton Business Journal revealed that Mr. Cain is investing $5 million in a new company, Eaton-Max, to retail the products he manufactures. The article stated: "Cain is launching the new venture by teaming up with a silent partner out of China. The Chinese partner and Cain each will own 50 percent of Eaton-Max."
Judging from public minutes of commissioner's meetings in Mr. Cain's county, as well as posts that Mr. Cain has made on a local Ohio forum, it appears that he has a reputation for threatening people with frivolous lawsuits.
In my final communication with Mr. Cain, he said to me: "You will pay for this".
When I told Mr. Cain that I would be letting people know about his behind-the-scenes intimidation tactics to spin the percentage of "Made in China" parts in his compressors, he uttered a truly classic line: "You will be in even more bigger trouble".

Sorry to hear this
I am really sorry to read this. Eaton used to have a good reputation. I was going to buy Eaton when I eventually have to repair or replace my current compressor.
They are close enough to me where I could go pick one up in my truck. The Chinese stuff didn't bother me too much if it didn't hurt quality. It's hard to find anything without something made in China these days.
However, this doesn't sound like the kind of business I want to give my money to?
Very interesting, I will be glad to forward this to others. It is like a little gossip, hey, guess what??? Eaton compressors are not completely "Made in the USA"... but from China... If they posted that on their product, Made in the USA, would that be lying"?
Jon, are you ?
re: Eaton Compressor threatens to sue me over "Made in China" compressor post
Hope everything works out... I will support your cause if need...
Matt Cain needs some schooling on grammar too.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
But.. But... Apparently they don't offer the type of grammar lessons he needs in China.....
In a while, Chet.
I love it when Jon does these expose's....
I don't care what kind of quality the company makes...stuff like this ensures I will never, ever, ever consider a product of theirs. Ever.
What a (rhyme time) mupid pile of chit, useless dockphuk's gotta earn his wage somewhere I guess eh? Even the chinese aren't that bad.
Eaton compressors are made in Chine. I wonder if I'll get sued now.
But yeah, I heard Eatons are made in China!
The fact that some of their major parts are made in China is disappointing(especially since my last two jobs have left the country) but Mr. Cains tactics have convinced me to never buy his products. Jobs leaving the country are sad but a fact of life today. If he would have said they had to do it to stay competitive I think people would understand but to try to hide it through intimidation is just wrong. Thank you Jon and Hotrodders Bulletin Board for standing up and showing companies like Eaton, Street Beasts, and the others that have been exposed for what they truly are. Keep fighting for the truth. That is what makes this place great.
We need to find out what components are made in China, so maybe we can debunk the 60% rule. Find out if the major components come from outside the USA.
JON,Thanks for having big balls and intelligence too. I have been threatened by lawyers in the past and in every case it was just to try to scare me off. Like you it did not scare me and never went any further.This is still the USA and you have the right to voice your opinion.Keep up the good work.
Somebody needs to remind this guy where we are! This is the USA! Not communists China. We can say what we want without being shot for it. (Most of the time. )
If he does not want people to know some of the compressors are made in China then he should not be doing it. Just tell the truth about it!
I am in the market for a better compressor. I will not be buying Eaton. Not because of China parts, but because they are butt faces.
Is that guy a TOTAL IDIOT? There are numerous posts here that simply rave about the quality of those things! I am sure, I mean I KNOW for a fact that these discussions here, and a couple of other sites, have sold several compressors for that outfit and until now they probably had more respect here than even some of the old industrial names. I answered my own question that guy IS an idiot and speaking for myself I will never recommend them to anyone again! IMO this is going to backfire on them bigtime, just wait until the rumor gets around that if a customer don't like his compressor and says anything he will get sued!
made somewhere else
I remember after WW II when make in Japan Meant junk and later when made in taiwan meant junk. I guy I knew was hired by the Taiwan government to go around to the manufacturing plants and to try to get them to improve quality and eventually get a better reputation for their products. Most places i have seen overseas have gross safety problems and pollution problems. when the people complained the factories moved to another jungle island where there were no rules and a dollar a day and a bowl of rice would get all the workers they needed

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Missouri and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

|Loaded Firearm Discovered at AGS
- A knife was discovered concealed in the battery compartment of a laptop computer in a carry-on bag at Oakland (OAK).
|Skull Fragments Discovered at FLL
- A replica grenade was discovered in a checked bag at Phoenix (PHX).
- A passenger at Miami (MIA), on his way to the restroom told the Sky Lounge bartender: "Take care of my briefcase, there is a bomb inside." Two flights were delayed for one hour, affecting 280 passengers. This person was arrested on a state charge.
- During a bag search at Minneapolis St. Paul (MSP), a passenger stated: "Go ahead, and check my bag. There may be a bomb in it." Police Officers responded and determined the passenger was intoxicated and cited him on a local charge.
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $7,500.00. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

Japan Voters Head to Polls For Upper House Election
Election Seen as Gauge of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Economic Policies
TOKYO—Japanese voters headed to the polls Sunday to decide who would fill half in the upper house of parliament in a contest that is largely seen as a gauge of the public's reception to the economic policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Going into the House of Councilors election, the race is predicted to hand the ruling Liberal Democratic Party a majority. Mr. Abe's cabinet enjoys a near 60% approval rating on the back of support for his economic policy mix of monetary easing, fiscal spending and pro-growth steps....

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'll be using a f.a.s.t. bank to bank with wide band o2 and you are correct about a lot of street use. I plan on driving this car everywhere. I didn't want to get carried away with turbo size and camshaft profile because I plan on driving it often. It has PS, PB, AC, PW and air ride suspension so, I built it for mostly for street duty but, it would be a shame to not know how quick it will be in the 1/4 mile so, I'm following NHRA guide lines to make it track legal. I know it would be quicker with an automatic trans but the 6 speed should be fun.
|I think that the T3 turbines will be a good match for this as it sounds like it will see the street often. I dont think that they will be all that much of a restriction at "higher" rpms, the import crowd uses them on allot of high strung motors with good outcome. Being that you have the smaller t3, spool up should be good, your compression sounds about right as well for the boost you plan to run. I see this making your goal at the wheels on pump gas easy. What are you going to be running for management?
The whole turbo thing is new to me also. There is definitely science involved in selecting one and I should have spent more time researching. There are so many different variations and types of turbos, it makes your head hurt. I selected mine based on a horsepower level I wanted and input from a Garrett technician. That was two years ago and I've learned more since then and would probably do it differently now. The exhaust side of the turbos I'm using have a T3 mount witch is a smaller housing and should give quick spool up but, they will probably be restrictive at higher rpm. If I had to do it again I would use a turbo with a T4 housing and then I'd have room to grow, not that I need it, with 600 to 700 horsepower and a manual trans the rambler should be a handful.
As far as motor parts, you build like you would for any high horse application. The cams in turbo motors are pretty mild so it won't have that nice choppy idle I like but, It will be way more practical, at that horsepower level than a normally aspirated motor. With the 6 speed overdrive trans, it should get decent gas mileage as well...gonna need that, the way gas is rising
|Looks like a fun project. I've never been involved with turbos, so would you mind sharing some of your thought process about selecting turbos and engine components?
|I'm thinking about 16 lbs max for boost and the exhaust pressures will probably be getting pretty high. I sort of wish I would have selected a turbo with a t4 turbine housing but, I'm hoping this combination will be entertaining enough.
|With proper tuning, I see no reason why you will not hit your goal or be very close to it. Your cam looks like it will be fine for your app, as do your heads. How much boost are you planning on running? This will be the ultimate deciding factor on how much hp you will see on the dyno.
How much horsepower you think she'll make.
Still a long way from finished but, wanted to share my project with you guys and though it would be interesting to quiz you guys and get some estimates of horsepower and torque numbers I might expect with this combination. This is my first turbo motor so I'm not sure what to expect and I'm certain I'll have a learning curve. Its a LT1 350, the motors not built yet because I 'm still using it for mock up. The turbos are Garrett GT32's with 71mm compressors and a T3 .78ar turbines and, I'll be using AFR 190 heads with about a 8 to 1 compression ratio. The cam motion camshaft is 220 218 @ .050 lift and .553 .531 lift on 114 lca. It is inter cooled and will have water/alcohol injection.
My initial goal was only 600rwhp but who knows, only the dyno will know for sure. Anyway, It's fun to share and get input, good or bad.
Here's a couple of pictures of the motor and what it's going in.
Be Cool. Ed

"This stamp exceeded my expectations! It was wonderful! I was disappointed that I couldn't change the color on order BUT found out after that you can buy different ink pads. I would have preferred to buy the color I wanted on order."
"I ordered two of these stamps one with my address and the other to put on our wedding favour tags with our name, date of wedding and thank you. I was really pleased with both stamps. As there was no preview available I was a little worried the spacing and wording may be a little off what I had envisioned but it was spot on! Delivery was also super speedy, I am in Australia and ordered this stamp on Saturday and was pleased to receive it the next Thursday! I would absolutley order a similar product again from Tiny prints."
"I have to admit, I was a little hesitant in getting the stamp because there was no proof or review available before purchasing it. However, after receiving it, it couldn't be more perfect. I love it! I also did not read the details too well and thought that I would have to go out and buy a stamp pad, but to my pleasant surprise it is a self-inking stamp. I am very pleased and would recommend this stamp to save time with save the dates and invites. The quality of the stamp on paper is amazing."
"I ordered this stamp for my business. I wanted something with just the business name on it and this is perfect. I have ordered tiny prints self inking stamps before and can always expect to get exactly what I ordered. I will continue to order from tiny prints."

Hello everyone.
My buddy and I picked up two mystery helmets off ebay, they seem to be FP's. Excellent helmets, but they need some work of course. What would you guys recommend to use as filler? I've worked with bondo before, many many years ago. I've also used the putty that comes in a tube that bondo makes, but I wasn't a fan. I don't think that stuff cures right, or maybe I just got a bad batch. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Jun 6, 2011.
Is that close to HJI?
LOL, they're the sister islands. Heading there today.
Looks like Brian Hill is the final assistant to LF. Source: Pistons complete staff with Brian Hill - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
I think Sullivan was mostly hired to babysit Sheed. And that worked out so well.
Not sure if this was mentioned anywhere. Dee Brown will be an assistant coach some day with the Pistons. He should help out with some of the young guards. http://www.freep.com/article/201111...ul-Pistons?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Sports|s
We get a statboy. http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2011/...atanella-as-director-of-basketball-operations
Nice read: http://www.nba.com/pistons/features/truebluepistons_111208.html At least he can identify problems.
I like the approach of this guy. He's gonna have a tough time to sort this mess out but I think he's the man to get this train back on track. It might take some time though.
I'm not really sold on your choice of Frank. I know that he is outside of the Dumards Circle Of Trust, but I'm not sure he is the guy to really get the best out of the current team.
Knew there would be a thread for this. So, who do we go with? Personally, I think we need a straight talking coach that will instill some work ethic in these guys. Someone to tell Smith to cut out the bad shots and tell him that he is not a "good shooter" as he said he was and tell Jennings to develop a right hand and work on his jumper.
Indeed, but who is the one for that? Who has the strong character to impose himself like that?
I think we need to lay to rest the notion that there is some hard line coach out there who can fit all Joe's square pegs into the round holes. It's not going to happen. The Pistons need to address their roster so it doesn't take a miracle to get their best players on the court together.
Mike Woodson?
Fixed that for you.
What if Phil Jackson is hired as head coach and is given full control on personnel decisions?
That's interesting. It would be nice having the Basketball Ops folks having a vested interest in how the coach does. I like this idea better than hiring the random hard-ass coach X to come in and not play Monroe, Drummond or Smith at the end of games.
He said he doesn't want to be a head coach again. I'm guessing he doesn't want to work that hard again and put his coaching rep at stake with a team that needs development.
I thought he said he didn't want to coach unless he had GM powers, too.
I think Gores is planning on Phil Jackson being coach and GM. Phil will coach for a couple of seasons to get the team on track. I don't know if I like Phil having this much power. He could decide he doesn't like anyone on this roster and trade everyone for role players that fit his offensive system which unfortunately will not work in the East.
Putting all our eggs in one basket. hopefully, he'd bring home the bacon. If not...we're toast. I'm feeling hungry suddenly...........

Efficiency of repeatedly appending to a List
Hi all,
Recently I asked about efficient ways to insert items into a sorted
List such that the new list was also sorted [1]. I received suggestions
to linearly search through the list and find the right place to insert
the new time (search time = O(N), where N is the size of the list), and
also suggestions to use a faster binary search to locate the right
place to insert the new time (search time = O(Log[N])).
This caused me to wonder about the efficiency of appending items to
Lists in Mathematica in general. Is it an O(N) operation (i.e.,
something akin to a realloc in C)? Or does Mathematica employ some sort
of anticipatory memory allocation scheme to make adding new elements to
lists usually faster than O(N)?

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated January 20, 2011)
Allah loves those who fight in His Way in ranks like well-built walls. (Surat as-Saff, 4)
There are walls joined on to one another. Do you do that? You attack Muslims on your web sites, you slander them, you insult and defame them, you oppose Islamic Union and Turkish-Islamic Union and the way of the Mahdi and then imagine you are on the true path. This decree in the Qur'an refers to you.

Brian Hayes
"All science is either physics or stamp collecting" said
Lord Rutherford, who was not a stamp collector. The remark did
nothing to win friends for physics among practitioners of other
sciences. But Rutherford got his come-uppance: When he was summoned
to Stockholm in 1908, the prize awaiting him there was not in
physics but in chemistry.A century later, surveying the state
of physics and its relations with other fields, I am tempted to give
Rutherford's quip an even more inflammatory reading, though he never
intended it. "All science is physics" might be taken as a
territorial claim, annexing other disciplines as provinces to be
ruled by the laws of physics and administered by physicists. This
imperial vision of the destiny of physics is not entirely without a
basis in history, or at least etymology. At one time, the term
physics had a very broad meaning, roughly synonymous with
natural science. The 18th-century
Encyclopédia of Diderot and d'Alembert listed under
the rubric physique particuliere everything from astronomy
and cosmology to meteorology, mineralogy, chemistry, zoology and
botany (but not stamp collecting).
Browsing through recent issues of Physical Review E
(a section of the main journal published by the American Physical
Society), one could form an equally expansive view of the scope of
21st-century physics. Within the past year, the Phys Rev E
table of contents has included titles such as "Outbreaks of
Hantavirus induced by seasonality," "Large-scale
structural organization of social networks," "Topology of
the world trade web," "Generating neural circuits that
implement probabilistic reasoning" and "Number fluctuation
and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic." Evidently, the
boundaries of physics are elastic enough to take in aspects of viral
epidemiology, sociology, market economics, cognitive neuroscience
and number theory. Are all of those fields now absorbed into the
empire of physics?
The story I want to tell here is not about sleeper cells of militant
physicists plotting a coup in the biology department. As a matter of
fact, although physics provides the most dramatic examples, several
other disciplines also have boundaries that seem to be shifting or
growing porous. Intellectual migrants are wandering back and forth
across many academic frontiers, generally without stopping for any
formalities at the customs house. In some cases, the same paper
might be classified as physics, biology, mathematics or computer
science, depending more on the author's affiliation and where it was
published than on the subject matter.
Departmental reshuffling and realignment goes on all the time, but
the present moment seems to be one of particular ferment. Among many
possible causes, I would point to the changing role of computation
in the various sciences. A number of earlier upheavals in the
structure of scientific disciplines have been triggered by new
techniques and instruments, sometimes imported from other fields.
Today, computation is the common thread in many of the areas that
are having a disciplinary identity crisis. Some of these areas rely
heavily on computer simulations or experiments, and others analyze
large data sets accessible only with computer technology. Computer
science also exerts a subtler but deeper influence when laws of
nature are expressed in algorithmic form.
