The seventh overall pick in the 2011 Draft fielded the ball cleanly and dove head-first toward first base -- instinctively more than anything -- to record the out. It's the type of play he says defines his team-first mentality.
But the cheers from the home crowd quickly shifted to muffled concerns when the right-hander limped back to the mound. Fortunately for Bradley and the D-backs, everything appeared to be fine.
The 6-foot-4 right-hander allowed two hits over six innings and survived the defensive scare Monday as the Class A South Bend Silver Hawks two-hit the Peoria Chiefs in a 2-0 victory.
"Me and the first baseman [Matt Helm] both went after the bunt, but I beat him to it," Bradley said. "So he wasn't at first and the second baseman [Eric Groff] wasn't covering. I looked at the runner and knew I wasn't going to beat him to the bag standing up.
"I laid out and beat him by my glove. On the dive, I lost my breath and scuffed my elbow and knee, but there are no injuries whatsoever. The manager and pitching coach held their breath. I'm a competitor and I'll get outs any way I can. I think it sends a message to the whole team that I'm not just playing for myself."
Arizona's No. 2 prospect behind highly touted right-hander Trevor Bauer, Bradley surrendered two doubles -- one in the second inning and one in the third -- and did not factor in the decision.
It was the 10th time this year he has gone at least five innings and limited the opposition to two hits or fewer. It was also just the fourth time Bradley issued just one free pass. He had averaged 3.2 in his previous 19 starts.
MLB.com's No. 15 prospect retired the first four batters he faced before Chadd Krist doubled to center field with one out in the second. But Bradley struck out Wes Darvill and induced an inning-ending ground ball off the bat of Bijan Rademacher to keep the game scoreless.
Yaniel Cabezas then ripped a two-bagger to left field an inning later, but Bradley set down 12 of the final 13 Chiefs before turning over a 0-0 game to the bullpen.
"I'm just trying to continue to improve," the 19-year-old said. "I put everything together for the first time in a long time. Except from the no-hitters and one-hitters, this was my best pro outing by far.
"I gave up a one-out double off the wall on a 1-0 or 1-1 fastball and I gave up a no-out double ... They just beat me on those two pitches, but that is part of the process. But I stayed composed and focused and I didn't let them score. I executed and I threw the pitches where I wanted them."
The outing lowered Bradley's ERA to 3.65. He still leads the Midwest League with 63 walks, but he also ranks second with 96 strikeouts, 15 behind Burlington's Drew Grainer. He is also holding hitters to a .160 batting average, the lowest mark on the circuit.
"I had those two outings in a row where I walked one in one and two in the other. I walked four again last time and loaded the bases in the fifth, but over the last four games I feel like I've turned a corner and started to figure things out," the Oklahoma native explained.
"I think a lot of high school pitchers have the mentality of striking everybody out. That's exciting and it gets the crowd going. But it is about going further into innings and extending outings."
On Monday, Matt Helm delivered the biggest blow of the night, ripping a two-run double to left field with one out in the ninth against Austin Reed. Both runs were charged to Luis Liria.
Kable Hogben (4-2) struck out four batters over two hitless innings of relief to earn the victory, and Kaleb Fleck pitched a perfect ninth to earn his second save.
Peoria's Yao-Lin Wang surrendered two four hits over 3 2/3 scoreless innings, but he did not factor in the decision. Liria, the second Chief out of the bullpen, slipped to 1-4 with the loss.

Bill Belichick and Tim Tebow, Chapter 492 |
06.06.13 at 5:06 pm ET |
We've written about the Patriots, Bill Belichick and Tim Tebow on several occasions (and we expect to write about them again sooner rather than later), but the news Thursday from Belichick where he felt the need to comment on something he may or may not have said about Tebow is something new.
'I wouldn't get into the probability of us pursuing any free agent,' Belichick told ESPN. 'Every single player has strengths and weaknesses, but regardless of that, for anyone to have represented that is the way I feel about Tim Tebow is completely untrue, baseless and irresponsible. It is unfortunate that something so inaccurate was reported.'
1. In my experience covering the Patriots, I can't remember him ever feeling the need to speak out saying he didn't dislike a player. In fact, unless his team was playing them that week during the season, he rarely — if ever — comments on any player not on his roster. ('We're just focused on our own team/game/preparation….' is the usual reply.) And I'm hard-pressed to recall more than two or three instances where he addressed something that was reported in the media, especially a report that's more than a month old. (His post-Super Bowl XXXIX comments on Freddie Mitchell are the exception to the rule, but that was more about Mitchell's dopey comments than anything else. And of course, there's always his occasional showdown with old pal Charley Casserly.) But this is certainly out of character for him.
However, as Albert Breer of the NFL Network noted, the timing is interesting given the fact that Tebow was apparently spending time with Urban Meyer last weekend in Columbus.
Here's what @fieldyates had from Belichick on TT profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/06/bel'¦ Interesting timing. Tebow was hanging w/Urban in C-Bus last weekend.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) June 6, 2013
Add that to the fact that Belichick and Meyer remain close, and it's not ridiculous to think that Meyer spoke to Belichick about his former quarterback and the reported comments. Belichick has done favors for former players and coaches in the past, and he certainly wouldn't be above saying something to clear things up in this case.
2. Belichick has a genuine respect for Tebow, and what he's been able to accomplish as a football player. That being said — as we have previously stated here — there's a certain circus element that comes with the former Heisman winner. While that's not wholly Tebow's fault, he doesn't exactly do his part to quiet things down. (In my experience, it was shocking to see him hold court in the Jets locker room after a horrifying November loss to the Patriots, good-naturedly laughing with the media.) That's something Belichick would have an issue with.
3. None of this should be taken as a precursor to New England signing Tebow. (It's striking that even though he was released more than a month ago, there's been no report of a Tebow workout with the Patriots.) While I'm sure Tebow intrigues Belichick on some level as a football player, from a practical perspective, a marriage between the two doesn't make much sense, at least right now. The Patriots are at least three-deep at any one of the skill positions where Tebow might fit. (Tight end? Running back? Punt protector?) And when you're talking about his quarterbacking style, it certainly doesn't mesh with the Patriots' offensive scheme. (The idea of going from Tom Brady to Tebow would necessitate wholesale scheme changes.)
Despite his critics, there are things that Tebow does do well. As we wrote here, you don't win the Heisman by accident. He's a big guy who can run well and absorb punishment from defensive players. While he may not play quarterback in the NFL — that windup is just way to slow — he does have the physical tools to play somewhere in professional football. (We're going to include the CFL in that equation.) But despite Belichick's feelings, it doesn't figure to be Foxboro.

Lexon Watch - Take Time - Green. Why wear a watch on your wrist when you can wear it… well, anywhere you like. That's the question Lexon's Take Time watch is asking you. While it will sit comfortably on the wrist, it can also be looped around or suspended from any number of items meaning you can keep your eye on the time when it's wrapped around the handlebars of your bike or attached to your belt loop. You could even wear it as a pocket watch, which is what the design looks a lot like. Needless to say the bright colours the Take Time watch is available in adds even more fun to the design. Made from ABS plastic and silicon rubber, the Take Time watch is vegan-friendly and very durable. The case measures a compact 33mm in diameter and it is a lightweight watch that won't burden your wrist, pocket or wherever you choose to display it. Water resistance up to 3 atm Take Time watches purchased at Twisted Time come with a two year warranty.

Sour Cream Apple Pie
Feeling emboldened by my challah success, I thought I'd try baking a pie again. My last attempt at pie ended up in a soup bowl--it was tasty, but not lovely. I still had enough pate brisee in the freezer for another attempt. It being apple season, and with the Minnesota weather suddenly turning from summer to winter, apple pie seemed like a good bet.
I googled "apple pie" and "pate brisee" and got this sour cream apple pie from epicurious.com
This is an insanely rich dessert. Not only is the pate brisee itself laden with butter, but the filling, in addition to the standard apples and sugar, has two eggs and one and one-third cups of sour cream (I bypassed the low-fat sour cream in favor of Organic Valley's deliciously voluptuous sour cream.) It's topped by a mixture of sugar, butter, cinnamon, and flour. The suggested accompaniment is ginger whipped cream, which sounded pretty good to me. The Organic Valley whipping cream is so thick and yellow that it glugs, rather than pours, out of the carton.
This dessert, along with the same soup and bread I baked on Sunday, and a salad with butter lettuce, roasted pears, and pecans with a cassis vinaigrette, comprised dinner for my wonderful women's group. Becky, Cath, Joyce, Margaret, Rosemary and I have been meeting regularly for about 35 years. We started as a "consciousness-raising group," if any of you are old enough to remember that term, and we have evolved into something less doctrinaire and more warm and familiar. We've gone through births (children and grandchildren), deaths, marriages, divorces, jobs, retirement, happiness and tragedy together. The least I could do for this wonderful group of women was to bake them what turned out to be a pretty good pie.

Now that is an Apple Pie!!! You don't do things by halves, do you? I can imagine the ginger cream would be the perfect accompaniment to the pie, ummm, lovely. Jeannette
- Melinda said...
I'd like a slice of that pie, too! The ginger cream sounds like a good pairing for this pie.
Your house must of smelled of heaven, with the pie and bread freshly made. Did you churn your own butter too, Laura? - 1:23 PM
- breadbasketcase said...
The ginger whipped cream was excellent. The recipe recommended adding both powdered ginger and candied ginger, but I seemed to be all out of candied ginger. I think it would have been even better with that.
When people walked in the house, they all said it smelled so good! I did not churn my own butter, but that would have been an excellent idea. - 2:21 PM
- evil cake lady said...
As the ladies have already stated, that is one serious apple pie!! Did the eggs and sour cream make a custardy filling? The ginger whipped cream might have made a good accompaniment, but I would have given my dollop to Melinda.
Your women's group sounds incredible! - 4:54 PM
- breadbasketcase said...
Yes, the eggs and sour cream made a custard that enrobed the apples--Granny Smith, so they were tart enough to stand up to all that sweetness and they kept their shape nicely. What?! You would have turned down the whipped cream? Is your objection to cream or to ginger?
I'll share a dessert with you any day if I get to eat all the cream. - 4:59 PM
- jini said...
not only is marie funny, but so are the commentors. the glug glug sour cream sounds devine as well as voluptuous! i love ginger in almost any setting and with whipped cream, well.......
see.....pies can really be fun and easy too. yum - 8:43 PM
- breadbasketcase said...
I don't know that I would ever use "pie" and "fun" in the same sentence. Baking pies is still a traumatic event for me, although I liked the way this turned out. - 9:14 PM
- evil cake lady said...
Woah, hey now, BBC, I sure do love cream (oh how I love cream!)--it's the ginger I am not fond of.
Can we share a dessert someday anyway? The only fun part about pie is the eating part. - 1:03 AM
- Doughadear said...
Marie, that is some pie! I can almost taste it. How wonderful that you have had your good friends to share these special gatherings with for so many years. How lucky are they that you prepare such lovely dinners for them.
Oriana - 7:45 AM
- breadbasketcase said...
Now that I know that I can't eat all your whipped cream, I think we should each get our own dessert, but we can still share.
Yes, we are all extremely lucky to have known each other for so long (and also to have a tradition of sharing good food!). There's nothing like food to make friendship even better. That's my thought for the day. - 11:19 AM

Hey Everyone!
I'm here to show you Laura Mercier Holiday 2012 Colour Story: Art Deco Muse.
Here are the details and inspiration behind the creation of this collection.....
For the holiday season, Laura was inspired by the decorative architecture, style and mood of the Art Deco period in Paris in the mid-1920's, most notably the beautiful paintings of the artist Tamara de Lempicka.
Laura created rich makeup shades of gilded golds, glamorous reds and striking blacks to beautifully contrast each other to achieve a beautifully ornamental look. Golds and bronzes are paired with high-shine reds and deep blacks. Eyes are sharply designed and defined – lined in black, with gilded shimmer eye colours as a beautiful golden background. Lips wear super-shiny red lacquer.
I chose to feature two of the Creme Smooth Lip Colours and one of the Nail Lacquers.
Swatches of Deco Rouge ( left) and Tamara Red (right)
Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Deco Rouge
I created a golden, bronzey eye with deep black liner inspired by the collection and to complement the colors.Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Deco Rouge is a orangey bright red but it works on me. Depending on my eyes and foundation color, I can wear most reds: orange or blue based.
Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Tamara Red
I'm in LOVE with this color!!!
Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Tamara Red - Tamara Red is more of a brown, coral-y red. Its wearable without being uncomfortable. I know some women are uncomfortable with wearing red. Tamara Red is a very comfortable red.I also put on a fresh coat of Laura Mercier Nail Lacquer in Crimson.......
Crimson fits right in with the Oxblood color trend that's all the life this season. I felt like my nails were dripping with class and taste. lol! Crimson is a super sexy color! Two coats were perfectly opaque.
Purchase Art Deco Muse, a limited edition collection, now at LauraMercier.com or click HERE to view the entire beautiful collection!
Disclosure: I was sent this products for review. I was not paid to post and all opinions are my own.

The Sylvania Board of Education took the final step necessary Monday night to place a 3.8-mill operating levy on the May 6 ballot, a tax officials said is needed to avoid a budget deficit starting in two years.
The five-member board voted unanimously to direct Laura Sauber, the district's chief financial officer, to file necessary documents with the Lucas County Board of Elections for the continuing levy, which if passed would add $133 to the annual property tax for the owner of a $100,000 home in the district.
The board had previously passed a resolution asking the Lucas County Auditor to certify the tax valuation and its annual revenue amount, $4.9 million.
The Sylvania schools now collect 44.98 mills of operating levies, all continuing. Its most recent new levies were 4.9 mills each, passed in 2004 and 2011. But without the new tax, district officials forecast a deficit starting at $1.4 million at the end of the 2015-16 school year. They attribute the shortfall to decreased state education funding, declining property values, and rising expenses for supplies related to new state curriculum standards and safety and security measures.
The board's next step will be organizing a levy committee, with members drawn both from the school district and the general community. Scott Nelson, the assistant superintendent of schools, is to serve as a liaison between the district and the committee and will be responsible for scheduling community forums at which board members will give presentations about the levy and school district finances.

BERLIN (AFP) - Germany captain Michael Ballack is an injury doubt for Wednesday night's World Cup qualifier against Wales after damaging a calf muscle, it was announced on Monday.
Ballack scored Germany's second goal in their 2-1 win over Russia on Saturday in Dortmund during their Group Four qualifier, but picked up the injury to his right calf late in the game.
He informed the German Football Federation (DFB) medical staff at noon on Monday and sat out training in Duesseldorf on Monday as a precautionary measure.
A decision on whether Ballack plays will be taken in the run-up to kick-off in Moenchengladbach, but Germany coach Joachim Loew expects his team to pick up three more points with or without their captain.
Goals by Lukas Podolski and Ballack in Dortmund put Germany 2-0 up at half-time against Russia, but the spirited guests had Loew's side under intense pressure in the second 45 minutes and came close to an equaliser.
"We watched the game against Russia again on Monday to make sure we don't sit back again in the second-half," said Loew on Monday.
"We want three more points, it wouldn't be good if we take three points from Russia, but then lose to Wales.
"It is our goal to take six points from the two games, so it is important we concentrate fully."
A Germany scout travelled to Cardiff on Saturday to watch Wales beat Liechtenstein 2-0 at the Millennium Stadium and Loew expects a defensive display from the Welsh.
"The Welshmen play differently from the Russians," said Loew.
"They are a typically British team, who prevent goal opportunities by getting men behind the ball and by being pretty robust.
"They will probably play a 4-5-1 system."
Loew kept experienced Werder Bremen midfielder Torsten Frings on the bench against the Russians and hinted he may rest some players.
"Of course I can't rule out making some changes, we will look at the team in training and make a decision accordingly," said Loew.
"I was impressed with Torsten's attitude and reaction when I told him he would not be playing.
"I have a high opinion of him, he does all he can for the team and is still an important player for us."
After Kevin Kuranyi walked out of the squad during Saturday's game against Russia, Loew said he will never pick the Schalke 04 forward again.
But he still has four strikers to choose from in Miroslav Klose, Kevin Kuranyi, Lukas Podolski and Patrick Helmes.
Germany lead Group Four on seven points with two wins and a draw, while Wales are second on six points after two wins and a defeat.

The moving image that will be remained ingrained in my mind long after the 1995 U.S. Open has faded from memory--or I lose my videotape of the men's singles final--is Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi darting back and forth across the court during the long baseline rally that won Sampras the first set. It was a wonderful point, one that TV analyst John McEnroe sputtered was the best single baseline battle that he had ever witnessed. "The power, the angle, the depth, the importance of the point," McEnroe said, practically gasping for breath. "Wow!"
Wow, indeed. It also demonstrated why Sampras, not his formidable and impressive rival, won the match 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5: Sampras' groundstroking game packs a mean punch. Sure, he's the best server in the game, but it's his ability to rally with the game's best groundstrokers, such as Agassi, that makes him the best player. In today's high-octane pro tennis game, your strength is only as good as your weakness, and Sampras' weakness--specifically his backhand groundstroke--ain't much of an Achilles Heel.
The same can be said of Steffi Graf, the women's singles champion, who began the U.S. Open with more than her fair share of Achilles Heels. Bad back. Foot problems. Her father's imprisonment. Like she's done all year, however, they seemed more motivation than distraction. Her 7-6, 0-6, 6-3 win over Monica Seles was her eighteenth Grand Slam singles title, putting her on the same champion platform alongside Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. And she's still only 26.
But next year, with Seles clearly poised for a return to old form--not to mention a notch or two higher, courtesy of the inches she recently added--Graf will face a tougher opponent on the second Saturday of Grand Slam events. Expect Seles to soon shed the understandable spare tire that limited her movement yet proved to be a liability only in her match against Graf. In 1996, Seles, one of the fiercest competitors ever to play the sport, will not accept coming up one match short like she did in Flushing Meadow on Saturday. Suddenly, women's tennis has a rivalry worth watching equal to the one currently being enjoyed by fans of men's tennis.
The Agassi-Sampras rivalry, which has warranted considerable--and deserved--attention this year, will be better and more intriguing in 1996. This year was a learning process for both players; it will be a true, dog-eat-dog test next year. They seemed to relish the shared spotlight in the ring during the past nine months, but I expect the gloves to come off soon.
Agassi demonstrated plenty of class this year, including his acknowledgment before the U.S. Open that the winner in New York City, if it was he or Sampras, deserved to be ranked No. 1 for the year. So be it. Sampras rose to the occasion and, though the computer probably will vote differently in December, deserves the top spot for 1996. Maybe the men can borrow a bit of marketing savvy from the women: A co-No. 1 ranking.
Sampras vs. Agassi. Seles vs. Graf. The season's Grand Slam finale failed to disappoint and, as usual, gave us a taste of what we can look forward to when the pros head Down Under in January.
I can take solace, however, in my predictions for the men. After all, didn't I predict the Shuzo Matsuoka vs. Petr Korda first-rounder, during which they fought like cats for five sets until Matsuoka went down crying in a heap with cramps, would be one to watch! Picking Sampras over Agassi in the final helped me save face and answer a few of my more vocal critics, such as Jordan, who said in an e-mail that he "completely disagreed" with my Sampras prediction.
Also, Werner e-mailed me prior to the event to say he wished U.S. journalists had "more objectivity," referring to my prediction that the two Americans, who he called my "marketing favorites," would meet in the final. Werner, Werner, Werner: Who's got an objectivity problem here? Me, or you raving on about Thomas Muster winning the Open? Muster, who sailed to No. 3 in the world solely on his bloated clay court results, had about as much chance as winning the U.S. Open as Conchita Martinez did. So, let's just call it even!

Desnick; Yiannis A. Ioannou; Christine M. Eng DOI: 10.1036/ommbid.181 Abstract Abstract Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism resulting from the deficient activity of the lysosomal hydrolase α-galactosidase A in tissues and fluids of affected hemizygous males. Most heterozygous female carriers of the gene have an intermediate level of enzymatic activity. The enzymatic defect leads to the systemic deposition of glycosphingolipids with terminal α-galactosyl moieties, predominantly globotriaosylceramide and, to a lesser extent, galabiosylceramide and blood group B substances. Hemizygous males have extensive deposition of these glycosphingolipid substrates in body fluids and in the lysosomes of endothelial, perithelial, and smooth-muscle cells of blood vessels. Deposition also occurs in ganglion cells, and in many cell types in the heart, kidneys, eyes, and most other tissues. Clinical manifestations in classically affected hemizygotes who have no detectable α-galactosidase A activity include the onset during childhood or adolescence of pain and paresthesias in the extremities, vessel ectasia (angiokeratoma) in skin and mucous membranes, and hypohidrosis. Corneal and lenticular opacities also are early findings. With increasing age, proteinuria, hyposthenuria, and lymphedema appear. Severe renal impairment leads to hypertension and uremia. Death usually occurs from renal failure or from cardiac or cerebrovascular disease. Atypical hemizygotes with residual α-galactosidase A activity may be asymptomatic or have late-onset, mild disease manifestations primarily limited to the heart (the "cardiac variant"). Heterozygous females may have an attenuated form of the disease. They usually are asymptomatic, although rarely can be as severely affected as hemizygous males. The most frequent clinical finding in females is the characteristic whorl-like corneal epithelial dystrophy observed by slit-lamp microscopy. Confirmation of the clinical diagnosis in affected hemizygotes requires the demonstration of deficient α-galactosidase A activity in plasma, leukocytes, or tears, or increased levels of globotriaosylceramide in plasma or urinary sediment. Heterozygous females may have intermediate levels of enzymatic activity and accumulated substrate. More accurate diagnosis of heterozygous females can be accomplished by detection of a molecular lesion in the α-galactosidase A gene or by linkage analysis in families with an affected male. The disorder is transmitted by the X-linked gene encoding α-galactosidase A, which has been localized to the X-chromosomal region, Xq22.1. The human α-galactosidase A cDNA and genomic sequences have been isolated, characterized, and over 150 mutations have been identified including partial gene rearrangements, splice-junction defects, and point mutations, which emphasize the heterogeneity of the molecular lesions causing this disease. Prenatal diagnosis can be accomplished by demonstration of deficient α-galactosidase A activity and an XY karyotype, by haplotype linkage analysis, and/or most accurately by demonstration of the specific α-galactosidase A mutation in chorionic villi or cultured amniotic cells. Low maintenance dosages of diphenylhydantoin or carbamazepine may provide relief of the excruciating pain and constant discomfort. Oral anticoagulants are recommended for stroke-prone patients. Renal dialysis and transplantation are effective in the treatment of end-stage renal disease. Clinical trials of direct enzyme replacement indicate the potential value of this therapeutic approach.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A perennial is a plant that bears leaves and perhaps flowers every year. Some plants only bear leaves and flowers once, then they die. Such plants are called annual. Other plants live for two years. They are called biennial.
Most trees and shrubs are perennial plants.
The word perennial can also refer to a tradition, an event, or a seasonal item that remains popular every year, such as a holiday song.

The basic idea[edit]
A vector is a mathematical concept that has both magnitude and direction. Detailed explanation of vectors may be found at the Wikibooks module Linear Algebra/Vectors in Space. In physics, vectors are used to describe things happening in space by giving a series of quantities which relate to the problem's coordinate system.
A vector is often expressed as a series of numbers. For example, in the two-dimensional space of real numbers, the notation (1, 1) represents a vector that is pointed 45 degrees from the x-axis towards the y-axis with a magnitude of .
Commonly in physics, we use position vectors to describe where something is in the space we are considering, or how its position is changing at that moment in time. Position vectors are written as summations of scalars multiplied by unit vectors. For example:
where a, b and c are scalars and and are unit vectors of the Cartesian (René Descartes) coordinate system. A unit vector is a special vector which has magnitude 1 and points along one of the coordinate frame's axes. This is better illustrated by a diagram.
A vector itself is typically indicated by either an arrow: , or just by boldface type: v, so the vector above as a complete equation would be denoted as:
The magnitude of a vector is computed by . For example, in two-dimensional space, this equation reduces to:
For three-dimensional space, this equation becomes:
Find the magnitude of the following vectors. Answers below.
Using vectors in physics[edit]
Many problems, particularly in mechanics, involve the use of two- or three-dimensional space to describe where objects are and what they are doing. Vectors can be used to condense this information into a precise and easily understandable form that is easy to manipulate with mathematics.
Position - or where something is, can be shown using a position vector. Position vectors measure how far something is from the origin of the reference frame and in what direction, and are usually, though not always, given the symbol . It is usually good practice to use for position vectors when describing your solution to a problem as most physicists use this notation.
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position with respect to time. You may be used to writing velocity, v, as a scalar because it was assumed in your solution that v referred to speed in the direction of travel. However, if we take the strict definition and apply it to the position vector - which we have already established is the proper way of representing position - we get:
However, we note that the unit vectors are merely notation rather than terms themselves and are in fact not differentated, only the scalars which represent the vector's components in each direction differentiate.
Assuming that each component is not a constant and thus has a non-zero derivative, we get:
where a', b' and c' are simply the first derivatives with respect to time of each original position vector component.
Here it is clear that velocity is also a vector. In the real world this means that each component of the velocity vector indicates how quickly each component of the position vector is changing - that is, how fast the object is moving in each direction.
Vectors in Mechanics[edit]
Vector notation is ubiquitous in the modern literature on solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, biomechanics, nonlinear finite elements and a host of other subjects in mechanics. A student has to be familiar with the notation in order to be able to read the literature. In this section we introduce the notation that is used, common operations in vector algebra, and some ideas from vector calculus.
A vector is an object that has certain properties. What are these properties? We usually say that these properties are:
- a vector has a magnitude (or length)
- a vector has a direction.
To make the definition of the vector object more precise we may also say that vectors are objects that satisfy the properties of a vector space.
The standard notation for a vector is lower case bold type (for example ).
In Figure 1(a) you can see a vector in red. This vector can be represented in component form with respect to the basis () as
where and are orthonormal unit vectors. Orthonormal means they are at right angles to each other (orthogonal) and are unit vectors. Recall that unit vectors are vectors of length 1. These vectors are also called basis vectors.
You could also represent the same vector in terms of another set of basis vectors () as shown in Figure 1(b). In that case, the components of the vector are and we can write
Note that the basis vectors and do not necessarily have to be unit vectors. All we need is that they be linearly independent, that is, it should not be possible for us to represent one solely in terms of the others.
In three dimensions, using an orthonormal basis, we can write the vector as
where is perpendicular to both and . This is the usual basis in which we express arbitrary vectors.
Vector Algebra Operations[edit]
Some vector operations are shown in Figure 2.
Addition and Subtraction[edit]
If and are vectors, then the sum is also a vector (see Figure 2(a)).
The two vectors can also be subtracted from one another to give another vector .
Multiplication by a scalar[edit]
Multiplication of a vector by a scalar has the effect of stretching or shrinking the vector (see Figure 2(b)).
You can form a unit vector that is parallel to by dividing by the length of the vector . Thus,
Scalar product of two vectors[edit]
The scalar product or inner product or dot product of two vectors is defined as
where is the angle between the two vectors (see Figure 2(b)).
If and are perpendicular to each other, and . Therefore, .
The dot product therefore has the geometric interpretation as the length of the projection of onto the unit vector when the two vectors are placed so that they start from the same point (tail-to-tail).
The scalar product leads to a scalar quantity and can also be written in component form (with respect to a given basis) as
If the vector is dimensional, the dot product is written as
Using the Einstein summation convention, we can also write the scalar product as
Also notice that the following also hold for the scalar product
- (commutative law).
- (distributive law).
Vector product of two vectors[edit]
The vector product (or cross product) of two vectors and is another vector defined as
where is the angle between and , and is a unit vector perpendicular to the plane containing and in the right-handed sense (see Figure 3 for a geometric interpretation)
In terms of the orthonormal basis , the cross product can be written in the form of a determinant
In index notation, the cross product can be written as
where is the Levi-Civita symbol (also called the permutation symbol, alternating tensor).

Some useful vector identities are given below.

Vector Calculus[edit]
So far we have dealt with constant vectors. It also helps if the vectors are allowed to vary in space. Then we can define derivatives and integrals and deal with vector fields. Some basic ideas of vector calculus are discussed below.
Derivative of a vector valued function[edit]
Let be a vector function that can be represented as
where is a scalar.
Then the derivative of with respect to is
Note: In the above equation, the unit vectors (i=1,2,3) are assumed constant.
If and are two vector functions, then from the chain rule we get
Scalar and vector fields[edit]
Let be the position vector of any point in space. Suppose that there is a scalar function () that assigns a value to each point in space. Then
represents a scalar field. An example of a scalar field is the temperature. See Figure4(a).
If there is a vector function () that assigns a vector to each point in space, then
represents a vector field. An example is the displacement field. See Figure 4(b).
Gradient of a scalar field[edit]
Let be a scalar function. Assume that the partial derivatives of the function are continuous in some region of space. If the point has coordinates () with respect to the basis (), the gradient of is defined as
In index notation,
The gradient is obviously a vector and has a direction. We can think of the gradient at a point being the vector perpendicular to the level contour at that point.
It is often useful to think of the symbol as an operator of the form
Divergence of a vector field[edit]
If we form a scalar product of a vector field with the operator, we get a scalar quantity called the divergence of the vector field. Thus,
In index notation,
If , then is called a divergence-free field.
The physical significance of the divergence of a vector field is the rate at which some density exits a given region of space. In the absence of the creation or destruction of matter, the density within a region of space can change only by having it flow into or out of the region.
Curl of a vector field[edit]
The curl of a vector field is a vector defined as
The physical significance of the curl of a vector field is the amount of rotation or angular momentum of the contents of a region of space.

Humanity, Said Edgar Allan Poe, Is Divided Into Men, Women, And Margaret Fuller
August 1972 | Volume 23, Issue 5
The polite and well-bred were truly horrified at Miss Fuller's brazenness. The book was met with jeers, derision, mockery. It was denounced as preposterous, hysterical, immoral. The first edition was sold out within a week. It became known abroad. "Margaret Fuller" was soon a household name— inspiring to some and revolting to others.
The book was filled with a series of shockers:
"There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves."
"What Woman needs is not as a woman to act or rule, but as a nature to grow, as an intellect to discern, as a soul to live freely and unimpeded."
"[Men] think that nothing is so much to be dreaded for a woman as originality of thought or character."
"Let it not be said, wherever there is energy or creative genius, 'She has a masculine mind.'"
"Were [women) free, were they able fully to develop the strength and beauty of Woman, they would never wish to be men or manlike."
"There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman."
"Women are the best helpers of one another. Let them think, let them act."
"We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to Woman as freely as to Man."
Horace Greeley, whose publishing firm had accepted Woman , had shrewdly foreseen the response. Already he had invited Margaret to come to New York as the first female member of the working press. Though he carped about Margaret's statement that women should be sea captains if they wished, and refused to open doors for her, he gave her free rein. Her articles were to alternate between social and literary criticism. Since Boston intellectuals regarded New York as an uncultured, materialistic Babylon, the fact that Margaret--ignoring clucks from Emerson—accepted the job was considered little short of treason. She began work in December of 1844, soon scandalizing everyone by interviewing prostitutes in Sing Sing prison.
Margaret's treason was magnified when she reviewed scathingly the works of New Englanders Longfellow and Lowell and dissected Emerson's second series of essays and his poems as if working on a cadaver. She did not hesitate to be scalpel precise about Emerson: "We miss what we expect in the work of the great poet or the great philosopher," she wrote about the essays. "Here is undoubtedly the man of ideas, but we want the ideal man also; want the heart and genius of human life to interpret it, and here our satisfaction is not so perfect." Her criticism of his poetry was no less sharp: "His poems are mostly philosophical, which is not the truest kind of poetry. They want the simple force of nature and passion, and while they charm the ear and interest the mind, fail to wake far-off echoes in the heart."
Already she had broken with Emerson spiritually, though they continued intermittent communication. Her reviews in effect were a public farewell. Eventually he was to have revenge.
'Until Margaret Fuller immigrated to New York at the age of thirty-four, her major emotional involvement had been with Emerson, whose craggy face and lanky form she greatly admired. She called him "my Druid." Her first adolescent crush had been her kinsman George T. Davis. When Davis married someone else, Margaret took to bed with a fever. Then Margaret, at eighteen, became infatuated with the fifteenyear-old beauty Anna Barker, kin of the Astors, sent from New York to Cambridge to acquire culture —a girl who in later years so titillated Emerson that he gushed about "that very human piece of divinity." A decade later, thinking of Anna, Margaret wrote musingly in her journal, "It is so true that a woman may be in love with a woman and a man with a man." After Anna came Samuel Gray Ward, called by Margaret her "Raffaello" because he was "so sensuous, so loving, and so lovely." The dénouement was too painful: Sam Ward married Anna Barker, not Margaret. Thus finally Margaret turned toward Emerson, a married man with Margaret, in her way, rivalling Henry David Thoreau for the Sage of Concord's affections.
Margaret's "soul" relationship to Emerson came to a climax in the autumn of 1840, the time of the Ward-Barker wedding. Letters recently published for the first time have given a new dimension to this exchange, and it now appears that Margaret and Waldo were far more intimate than anyone had guessed. Emerson carefully filed his correspondence, but all of Margaret's letters from this period disappeared—except one, and that one was a copy in Emerson's own handwriting, suggesting that he may have preferred to delete some sections. These fragments reveal that Margaret's emotions, though fever hot, were not caloric enough to melt the Emersonian glacier.

Changes for the 2013 Kia Sorento
For 2013, Kia includes an automatic transmission and the UVO infotainment system as standard equipment for all Sorento models. The base model no longer exists; the LX is now considered the entry-level model. The EX trim level comes standard with leather, and the price of the SX has dropped a bit.
Model Lineup
The 2013 Kia Sorento, a 5- or 7-passenger crossover SUV that can carry up to 72.5 cu.-ft. of cargo, can be furnished in LX, EX and SX trim levels.
On the base LX you'll find 17-inch aluminum wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, an auxiliary audio input jack, a UVO infotainment system, and power windows, door locks, and mirrors. The LX V6 model adds a standard third-row seat. The Sorento EX is equipped with 18-inch alloys, fog lights, a reverse sensing system, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and keyless entry with push-button ignition. Chrome wheels and roof rails, body-color trim, and LED taillights distinguish the top-of-the-line SX on the outside. Inside, you'll find a premium surround sound audio system, enhanced gauges, rear air conditioning, and a ventilated driver's seat.
Among the Sorento's optional features are a navigation system with real-time traffic information, a panoramic sunroof and a rear entertainment system.
Engines and Transmissions
The standard engine for the Sorento LX is a 175-horsepower, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. The EX adds direct fuel-injection on that same engine, bumping power output to 191 horsepower. The Sorento SX is powered by a 276-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6, an engine which is optional for the LX and EX. A 6-speed Sportmatic automatic transmission is standard, delivering power to the SUV's front wheels. All-wheel drive is optional.
Fuel Economy Ratings
The EPA estimates that the Sorento LX with front-wheel drive will return 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The optional AWD system decreases those numbers to 21-mpg city/27-mpg highway mpg.
The direct-injected 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine installed in the Sorento EX is rated for 22-mpg city/32-mpg highway with front-wheel drive. Adding AWD results in 21-mpg city/28-mpg highway.
The Sorento SX's V-6 engine will get 18-mpg city/23-mpg highway, with the AWD reducing those numbers to 18-mpg city/24-mpg highway.
Safety Ratings
The Sorento earns a 4-Star overall crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) calls the 2013 Sorento a "Top Safety Pick."
Technology Highlights
Kia's UVO infotainment system is standard on all 2013 Sorento models, and includes voice-activated operation. It also includes a hard-drive Jukebox function and Bluetooth audio streaming. A navigation system with real-time traffic reports is optional, along with a premium sound system and a rear-seat entertainment system.

Many thanks in advance,

Hi Alex
I'm in the same boat as you so if you have found out the information on yarn quantities, I'd love to know.
I do currently have a Mermaid pattern which I'd be interested in swapping for another design e.g. Pagode, Gloria, La Strada, Tweedie etc - just in case you're interested.
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

After the first episode… comes the second! We're stoked to be able to bring you the second full edit from the shredfest/junkshow that was the inaugural OVERALL.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
This is an update of a November 25, 2011, Street Sweeper column.
On November 23, 2011, Attila Nemeth, 26, a Hungarian citizen, pleaded guilty in federal court in the District of Maryland to intentionally causing damage by transmitting a malicious code to Marriott International Corporation computers and to threatening to reveal confidential information obtained from the company's computers if Marriott did not offer him a job.
As titillating an opening sentence as that is, you really have to read this bizarre scheme. Let's go back about a year ago to pick up the trail.
I Want A Job
According to Nemeth's plea agreement, on Nov. 11, 2010, he sent an initial email to Marriott personnel, advising that he had been accessing Marriott's computers for months and had obtained proprietary information.
Okay, so he hacked into the company's computers. Frankly, that's upsetting but not particularly unusual. What does make Nemeth stand out is that rather than engage in the droll extortion demand for money, he threatened to reveal Marriott's confidential information unless the company gave him a job maintaining its computers.
Hey, Attila (if you don't mind me calling you by your first name), ummmm . . . you sort of need to get out a bit more, maybe cut down on the 24/7 staring at your computer screen in a darkened room. You're hacking into Marriott and your plan is to ask for a job maintaining their computers? Did you really, really think this one through?
On Nov. 13, 2010, after receiving no response from Marriott, Nemeth sent another email to his corporate victim. This email contained eight attachments, seven of which were documents on Marriott's computer system showing financial, confidential, and proprietary information.
SIDE BAR: You read it all the time. Probably, it's even happened to you – it's happened to me.
How did our budding computer hacker extortioner gain entrance to Marriot's inner sanctum? Sadly, not particularly cleverly: He sent an infected email attachment to targeted Marriott employees. Probably, against god only knows how many warnings and memo, some of those Marriott folks clicked on the attachment -- thus installing malicious software on the company's computer system. Using the now open "backdoor," Nemeth accessed proprietary email and other files.
Secret Agent Man
Now back to the online cat and mouse game – on Nov. 18, 2010, Marriott created the identity of a fictitious Marriott employee, which would be used by the U.S. Secret Service in an undercover sting operation aimed at flushing out Nemeth. The ruse seemed to have worked because Nemeth believed that he was communicating with Marriott human resources personnel.
To some extent, Marriott was relatively lucky that Nemeth hadn't asked to communicate with its Chief Financial Officer -- the extortion could easily have been for millions of dollars. For whatever reason, our Hungarian hacker seems to have just wanted a job – albeit he had a most unconventional concept of a resume and the entire interview process. Nemeth continued to call and email the fabricated employee (a/k/a the Secret Service Agent) and demanded a job with Marriott. Well, okay, it was a bit more than a persistent request of a job, Nemeth threatened to release the Marriott documents attached to his earlier email if he wasn't hired.
Photo ID
As quirky as this extortion plot was, it even gets more weird.
Nemeth emailed a copy of his Hungarian passport as identification. Yeah, sort of like the bank robber who left the teller with his name and phone number in the event any jobs opened up – that was a real case too. And,yeah, they caught that idiot also.
Oh, one other thing, in addition to disclosing his identity through his passport, Nemeth also offered to travel to the United States. I guess he thought that he could seal the whole interview thing in person and land the job of his dreams at Marriott.
Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?
So, our man with a plan arrives on Jan. 17, 2011, at Washington Dulles Airport. How did he get there? The good folks at Marriott purchased the airline ticket so that the job candidate could appear for an in-person employment interview. How generous of Marriott -- I wonder if they also threw in some frequent flyer benefits or a free room upgrade. Ya gotta love it!

Yet another revisit and reprocessing of a photo taken in 2008, this one being from Beijing's incredible Temple of Heaven, one of the most incredible places I've ever visited thanks to all the people taking part in all their fantastic activities: line dancing, chess, ballroom dancing, tai chi, water painting, etc. Just looking at the photos from there this morning I can see dozens of pictures I never processed at the time (well, I did take a lot, it turns out) and dozens of others – like this one – that I absolutely have to go back and reprocess at some time to bring out something new.

text: Volkswagen Is Going To Turbocharge Everything They MakeMatt Hardigree9/18/13 9:01amFiled to: The Morning ShiftTMS229EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink This is The Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parse it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important? 1st Gear: Turbocharge All The Things! According to this report in The Detroit News, Volkswagen is backing away from conventional, naturally-aspirated engines and replacing all of them with turbocharged gas/diesel options. Advertisement This means that you'll no longer be able to buy that weird 2.5-liter inline-five that Volkswagen still manages to sell a ton of to people for reasons passing understanding.Fuel economy is obviously paramount in this decision and, as the article points out, there are some estimates that up to three million turbocharged engines will be sold in the U.S. in 2013, way up from 2.1 million last year. Advertisement And that's a good thing. 2nd Gear: Turbocharged VW CUV To be Built In Chattanooga Despite UAW rumblings in the area, there's a report in the Freep today that says their new mid-size CUV will be built in Chattanooga and not Mexico. Of course, the Freep also says it'll compete with "the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Escape and Toyota Highlander." Two-out-of-three ain't bad.It should look just like the CrossBlue Concept and be named after the Māori word for passing gas. 3rd Gear: US Auto Sales Will Probably Slow Down The crazy high that automakers in the U.S. are on can't last forever, and Karl Henkel is here to play buzzkill with a story that's sort of a bummer, but also probably true. Advertisement Sponsored Brian Collie, vice president of consulting firm Booz & Co., said during an automotive panel Monday evening that the auto industry is typically a small-growth industry — with annual gains of about 1 or 2 percent — and that after the industry reaches 16 million or 16.5 million, the growth rate is likely to level off. And if it doesn't — and if annual sales climb to 18, 19 or 20 million — that could signal that some of the big sales gains have been propped up by external factors like low interest rates and not necessarily product or good economic fundamentals."That's when you can start to be concerned," Collie said. "Because that's artificial demand." 4th Gear: At Least We're Not Europe It could always be much worse. And by much worse, it could always be like Europe where Bloomberg reports that August car sales were the worst since they started tracking them in 1990.
