Application and Eligibility
Are non-U.S. citizens eligible?
Yes, however, if you receive an offer to participate, you must be able to obtain Curricular Practical Training (CPT) approval on your I-20 from your campus foreign student advisor and provide a copy to Argonne at least 10 days before you can begin working.
I'm an undergraduate student, but I won't be 18 years old for another year. If this program is for undergraduate students, why can't I participate?
Eighteen is the minimum age for participation regardless of your education level.
Is it a requirement that I have health insurance coverage to apply or can I wait until I'm selected to acquire it?
You do not have to have health insurance at the time of applying, but you must have health insurance in order to begin your appointment.
Can I transfer my previous recommendations to my new application?
No, letters of recommendations cannot be transferred from previous applications.
Who should I get to write my letters of recommendation?
Letters of recommendation should be requested from individuals familiar with your academic achievements and your academic or professional accomplishments. College faculty members who teach science, technology, engineering or mathematics courses are the best references, but you may also ask lab assistants, teaching assistants or employers (if they are in a research setting).
Am I required to submit transcripts?
No, transcripts are not required
Can I get in touch with scientists in areas I've chosen? Is this advisable?
Yes. As you explore Argonne's websites, you may identify scientists, programs, or divisions you would like to contact. The more you know about a group, the better chance you have of making a choice appropriate to your interests and skills. HOWEVER, potential research advisors are NOT authorized to offer you an appointment. If you are selected, you must receive an official letter from Argonne Educational Programs.
Will you let me know if I am missing parts of my application?
No, it is your responsibility to ensure that your application is complete and received before the deadline.
Selection Process
How does the selection process work?
To be considered, an applicant must meet all eligibility criteria and have submitted an application comprising of all required materials. Prior to the merit assessment and evaluation, an initial review of all applications will be conducted to verify applicant eligibility and ensure that all the required application materials have been provided. Applicants will then be subject to a merit review process and selection process. From the highly reviewed applications, research advisors select those applicants whose skill, knowledge, and research interests are best aligned with the research projects available to interns for the pending term.
What are my chances of getting selected?
The chances of being selected depend on many factors: the number of applications submitted, the number of available opportunities and the availability of funds. These factors vary each year so it is not possible to determine an individual's chances of being selected for any given time period.
When and how will I find out if I've been selected?
Students who are selected will be notified by e-mail. The e-mail will include the official offer package providing details of the project, salary, travel reimbursement (if applicable) and more.
If I don't get selected immediately, will my application be reviewed automatically for open positions as they become available or do I have to reapply?
Yes, your current application will continue to be reviewed for open positions for up to six months. You would then need to submit an updated application.
If I request a certain field of study am I guaranteed to be placed in it if I am accepted into the program?
Argonne tries to match to the extent possible applicant's research interests with available research projects and research advisors, but this is not always possible. Please keep in mind that researchers read your applications carefully and look for students who they think would benefit from being in their lab.
Am I required to pass a drug test?
Yes. After you accept your offer, you will receive notification on the process of drug testing. The testing is paid for by Argonne.
Please note: Use of Marijuana/Cannabis or its derivatives if prescribed is legal in some states in the United States and is legally used recreationally in some other countries. Having these drugs in your system is NOT legal at United States Federal Contractor sites such as Argonne National Laboratory.
Am I required to pass a background check?
Yes, you will be required to pass a background check before a start date of your appointment will be determined.
Do I get any vacation during the appointment period?
The program does not include vacation, holiday or sick leave. You are not expected to be present on days that Argonne is closed due to a holiday. Most research advisors will help you design a schedule that is mutually agreeable.
How often will I receive payment?
Students are paid every two weeks. However, you will not receive your first payment until 4 weeks after the start of your appointment.

Turner Prize 2014 nominations: our verdict
After its 2013 city break in Derry-Londonderry, the Turner Prize is back where it belongs at Tate Britain for its thirtieth anniversary. Hooray! Don't crack open the Lambrini just yet, though, because the 2014 TP shortlist is noticeably short on celebration and long on circuitous rambles through visual culture that touch on trusty art themes of authorship, censorship, voyeurism and power. The biggest prize in contemporary art is showing that it means business and 2014 will go down as the year the Turner Prize got serious. Here's what we make of the nominees….
Duncan Campbell (above)
Known for: Films that weave together fact and fiction – subjects have included the history of German monetary union and the rise and fall of American car designer John DeLorean. He's nominated for 'It for Others', which was shown at last year's Venice Biennale and features African masks and contemporary dance (courtesy of Michael Clark) in an exploration of colonialist power.
We say: Take a cushion – Campbell doesn't do shorts. But there are moments of impressionist beauty in his splicings that reveal a lithe, expansive approach to the mercurial past. He's the obvious frontrunner at this stage of the race.
James Richards
Known for: Plundering YouTube and using footage on VHS tapes found in charity shops. He's nominated for 'Rosebud' a film (also shown last year in Venice) based around censored images (including Robert Mapplethorpe photos with scratched out erections) found in books in a Tokyo library.
We say: At his best, Richards brings a sensual touch to fragmentary material. The youngest of the four artists (he was born in 1983) could triumph if he pitches his Turner Prize show right.
Tris Vonna-Michell
Known for: Densely packed, semi-improvised performances and installations that often lead the viewer to scenes from the artist's past or on quests for obscure cultural figures. He's nominated for a solo show in Berlin.
We say: Compellingly unreliable storytelling that's best experienced in the flesh. Let's hope he does some live performances during the exhibition run.
Ciara Phillips
Known for: Printmaking projects that involve local communities to create posters, prints, banners and textiles, often with a socio-political edge. She's nominated for her 2013 exhibition at the Showroom in London, which brought the iconography of radical print collectives to north London.
We say: Phillips provides a much-needed dose of colour in an otherwise fairly monochrome shortlist. There's even an outside chance you could find yourself making work for her Turner Prize show. The people's choice, for sure.
The Turner Prize 2014 is at Tate Britain, Sep 30 to Jan 4 2015. The winner of the £25,000 first prize is announced on Dec 1.

· We educated more than 30,000 students across three regions on the road to and through college.
As you prepare for a well-deserved summer vacation, we encourage all of our students and families to keep your academic skills sharp to avoid what's called the "Summer Slide." Here are some tips to make sure your child continues to learn, grow, and progress during the summer months.
Choose the right books.
Utilize the "Goldilocks Effect" – not too easy, not too hard. Series books are especially good for struggling readers.
Encourage interests.
Encourage your child to explore interesting topics they want to read about - fiction, non-fiction, e-books, magazines, or whatever gets them going.
Visit the local library.
Endless book options, special summer programs… and it's free! Plus, you can check out audiobooks for road trips.
Set a summer reading goal.
How many books can your child read this summer? Post and chart progress toward the goal. Have a friendly family competition with a special reward to show your kids that reading is also a priority for you. Further information on summer reading and math software can be accessed here.
What a great school year this was at IDEA Public Schools—thank you for being a part of it. Be on the lookout for IMPACT Magazine, which will be in your mailbox soon, with information on back-to-school essentials and more!
If you're reading this and aren't part of our Team & Family, join us for next year.
Have a safe and healthy summer of fun and learning!
*CORRECTION: This blog post has been updated to reflect corrected rankings. Read this statement in The Washington Post explaining the rationale for the updated rankings for IDEA Public Schools.

"1973 Dodge Challenger red" by CZmarlin — Christopher Ziemnowicz (Wikipedia photo)
1973 Dodge Challenger coupe.
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is encouraging vehicle enthusiasts to mark their calendars for the 66th Secretary of State Vehicle Show and Swap Meet on Saturday, Sept. 12, in downtown Springfield at the corner of Capitol Avenue and Second Street. The show is celebrating the Chrysler Dodge Challenger.
First organized in 1949 as an Antique Auto Meet, this year's show will not only feature many premium vehicles in Illinois, but also showcase sports cars, motorcycles, trucks, recreational vehicles, hot rods and tractors.
"The Vehicle Show is a great venue for automobile enthusiasts of all ages, and we expect once again to have some of the finest vehicles from Illinois and neighboring states on display," White said. "It is a special thrill this year to honor the Dodge Challenger on the 2015 Secretary of State Vehicle Show special event license plates."
An Illinois State Champion award will be given to the vehicle judged best at the show by the Vehicle Show Advisory Committee. This year's show also will honor the Chrysler automobile with a special Marque Award. The award represents a different style or manufacturer each year. First-, second- and third-place winners will receive a prize in more than 60 classes.
"Each year the show brings some top-notch cars to Springfield for a very special event," said Secretary of State Vehicle Show Board member Steve Brown of Washington, Ill. "This year's show has an added element of excitement with the celebration of the Dodge Challenger, along with many other Chrysler automobiles."
A limited number of special event license plates promoting the event are available for $20 per set. These commemorative plates are available to anyone with an Illinois registered vehicle, and the plates may be displayed for up to 60 days before the show on Sept. 12.
For a brochure including a Vehicle Show/Swap Meet registration form and special license plate request form, call (217) 557-7220 or write to: Secretary of State, 450A Howlett Building, Springfield, IL 62756. The brochure also is available at www.cyberdriveillinois.com. For more information, email email@example.com.

Naresh Sijapati, a 22-year-old, has done what most of us only dream of our entire lives.
Born in the year 1994 in Ahmedabad, he migrated to Nepal to live with his grandparents as his parents eked out a living as labourers in the city. Eventually seven-year-old Naresh also came back and started school. It didn't take him long to understand that money was scarce, adding to that, his father was an alcoholic. It was also a challenge to fit in a strange city, with parents he'd not lived with in years, and a language he didn't understand. Moreover, despite studying in a government school, he frequently needed money for odd things, and with a family income of ₹4,000 asking his parents was not an option.
He decided to be entrepreneurial and earn his own living. It started with picking trash from railway tracks, where he'd make ₹1 or ₹2 a day, but stopped when his father found out, and ordered him to stop. But Naresh was stubborn. He immediately found another job in a tea shop, where he made up to ₹20 a day, and eventually in a biscuit factory. All of this continued alongside school, where he would leave at 6 am in the morning, and sometimes not get home until midnight.
Soon, he started to work at a restaurant where he worked as a waiter, the owner there became a huge source of support, and Naresh ended up working with him for over two years. Once he graduated from school, he enrolled in a B. Com course, and also joined the National Cadet Corps (NCC) as well as Aajeevika, an NGO that works with migrant labourers, where he pulled evening shifts. Through Aajeevika, he worked with labourers from Rajasthan, Nepal, etc., and helped them open bank accounts, worked on the awareness campaigns, and skill development programs.
While Naresh's career was on fast-track, he felt that he really needed to learn English to grow at the rate he wanted to. One day, in the restaurant that he was sitting in, some fellows from Teach For India waled in to eat. Naresh said, "I heard them speaking in English, and started interacting with them. Eventually, I was hired as a part of their administrative staff, and I'd sit in on their training sessions, and try to pick up as much as I could. On my ID card, I wrote – Please only speak to me in English."
Teach for India also gave him the inspiration to do something more. He started "Panah" in 2015, where he continued what he'd learned at Aajeevika, with the vision to create a one-window centre for migrant labourers to provide solutions to their problems.
"Panah" supports labourers to seek jobs, organize themselves as collectives, avail savings and credit facilities, link themselves to government or quasi-government welfare schemes and social securities, thus enabling them to become smart labourers. They also run a newspaper called "Panha Times" to keep the labourers up to date.
At such a young age, running an enterprise such as this was overwhelming for Naresh, but fortunately for him, someone connected him to the School for Social Entrepreneurs, India, which mentored and equipped him to run "Panha".
93% of the labour force in India work in the unorganized sector, 60% of which are doing menial jobs with very little scope for skill development. Keeping this in mind, "Panah" aims to have at least 2,000 registered members, and impacting at least 5,000 people through their programmes. With over 600 registered members, with 23 team leaders in different areas, "Panha" has been able to link many migrant workers with job opportunities, health services, and various other services that help them become smart labourers. They have formed 4 self-help groups, and hundreds of kids have been mentored and enrolled by "Panha" members. They define "smart" as someone who is "skillful, can mitigate risk, is aware, resourceful, and can provide timely support".
We wish Naresh all the best with his ambitious goals, with hope that he will more than surpass them.

Ariston Aspasie "Carte Blanche" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 12-22-2017
January is freedom. Freedom from the holiday hustle, freedom from all the rich food, freedom from the in-laws. Celebrate your freedom with one of the best Champagne values in town, Aspasie Carte Blanche. Thanks to the investment in a fancy Coquard grape press, and thermo-regulated fermentation tanks, the quality of this Champagne has never been better! So as you come out of the holiday haze into some lighter eating, more fresh-air and a bit of financial frugality, look no further than this crazy good value packed bottle from our friends the Aristons - at Champagne House Aspasie!
Price: $27.99
2004 Krug Brut Champagne
Review Date: 12-15-2017
I was lucky enough to taste the Krug 2004 Vintage right next to the Krug Grand Cuvee Edition 160 - which has 2004 as its foundation. It was a joy to contemplate the artistry of both approaches. The Grand Cuvee featuring the expert blending of reserve wines back to 1990 to create the top expression of this house. Contrasted with the purity of the 2004 Vintage. A glimpse into that particular growing season, like a portrait representing a moment in time that will be referred back-to again and again. The 2004 Vintage is exquisite, vibrant and fresh - a prime candidate for cellar ageing. And when compared to some of its peers from other regions like Burgundy or Bordeaux, a supreme value!
Price: $269.00
2004 Laurent-Perrier "Cuvée Alexandra" Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 09-14-2017
After a massive champagne tasting this week, with too many great wines to count- one of our behind-the-scenes "Operations Heroes" had the good sense to sneak the remains of this bottle home for his dinner. He has good taste! This wine was an all around favorite, with so much savory goodness and pedigree. Definitely a special occasion splurge, but it will not disappoint!
Price: $299.00
2015 Te Mata "Estate" Syrah Hawke's Bay
Review Date: 08-25-2017
Tasted on 8/16 in our Hollywood store, this wine was a WOW. Light on its feet, bright fruit and smoky black pepper, I was instantly in love. I've since had this wine with the classic dish "chicken marbella", and the slightly less elegant Amici's pizza...it was a winner each time!
Price: $19.99
2008 Fallet-Dart Vintage Brut Champagne
Review Date: 05-08-2017
While I wasn't blessed with "legs for days" - I CAN have "length for days" in this delicious champagne. The 2008 vintage has not let me down yet and this wine is no exception. Lush and complex -- the finish goes on for a mile... At sub-$40, it's a must-try!
Price: $39.99
Laurent-Perrier "Grand Siècle" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 04-21-2017
While vintage Champagne is meant to reflect the nuance of a particular growing season, and multi-vintage Champagne is typically representative of a "house style"- I love the deliberate use of three distinct declared vintages in Laurent Perrier's 'Grand Siecle'. The three vintages are 100% Grand Cru and chosen for their complementary flavors. Cellar Master Michel Fauconnet says one vintage is chosen for structure, one for finesse and one for freshness. Truly the "cream of the crop" from this superlative Champagne House!
Price: $109.99
Le Brun de Neuville "Authentique Assemblage" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 02-23-2017
Sometimes it is impossible to separate an outstanding wine from an outstanding setting! I recently enjoyed this champagne in Point Reyes, under a huge umbrella in the pouring rain. And while slurping down the freshest oysters in the land, this champagne seemed to have as much complexity, as much vibrancy and as much freshness as my glorious surroundings.
Price: $34.99
A.D. Coutelas "Cuvée Louis Victor" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 05-03-2016
This champagne is very good company. Endlessly complex, revealing different dimensions with each sip. Starting its savory story when the glass is full and cold, all the way until the final delicious drop, a bit warmer and with some of the bubbles subdued. An absolute STEAL for the price - and a must-try for all champagne lovers.
Price: $34.99
Louise Brison "L'Impertinente" Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 02-05-2015
Another new Champagne to love! Tons of dark cherry fruit leaps from the glass in this barrel fermented beauty. Very expressive, with both a lushness in the mouth and that classic bright acid zing!
Price: $39.99
Jardesca California Aperitiva (750ml)
Review Date: 07-02-2014
Looking for a lighter, fresher alternative to a "Bloody Mary Bar"? Serve this little beauty over ice with a few pretty bowls of herb and citrus garnish at your next brunch, BBQ, book club or pool party - and watch it disappear!
Price: $28.99
Krug Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 02-13-2012
Back at home after a particularly rough day my husband went on his nightly expedition to the wine cellar in our garage. When he returned with this wine - my jaw dropped. "Sometimes you've got to live a little", he said. Live a little indeed! A spectacular champagne with lots of everything, but not too much of anything. Black and red fruited nose,candied blood orange, toasted nuts, rose petals on the palate - velvety but vivacious. Balanced and luxurious, this was a special treat I will not soon forget.
Price: $299.00
Gosset "Excellence" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 01-17-2012
While it's common to start with a bone-dry wine as the aperitif, I favor wines with a little more "oomph" for companionship as I get dinner on the table. A glass of the Gosset Brut Excellence keeps my hunger pains at bay with exotic freshness and a round, supple texture. A special value right now at $25.99 - you'll have to race me to the shelf!
Price: $34.99
Blason Isonzo Bianco (3L Bag-in-a-Box) (cannot ship)
Review Date: 06-11-2009
The bag-in-a-box has risen again! Cast your shame aside, and just enjoy the wine. Having a fresh and friendly Italian white in your fridge for the summer is pure joy. And having 3 liters of it in an air-tight container is even better. Many of us at K&L are huge fans of the Blason wines - and I am so excited to have this format back in stock.
Price: $24.99
Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond 100 Proof Rye Whiskey (750ml)
Review Date: 05-20-2009
Adding a couple of ice cubes to this 100 proof spirit really tames the beast, bringing out the sweetness and rye-bread aromatics. A wonderful digestif after dinner - with a very reasonable price tag.
Price: $23.99
Michel Arnould "Reserve" Brut Verzenay Champagne
Review Date: 05-19-2009
This Champagne has big style! I love to treat myself to a glass on a Sunday afternoon, read a good book - and pointedly ignore the laundry.
Price: $32.99
Ariston Aspasie Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 04-09-2009
It blows my mind. $32.99, really? Small production grower rose champagne, aged on the lees for 5 years?? Are you sure, only $32.99? Beautiful to behold with its tawny pink color - and a joy to consume with layers of flavor and aroma. Enjoy alongside baked ham, herbed quiche - or even smoked almonds as an afternoon treat!
Top Value!

New Car Company: Questions Outnumber Facts In 'Detroit Electric' Announcement
March 19th, 2013, 1:03 PM
Detroit has a new car company, apparently.
It's too early to place an order or to be sure news release hype will turn into reality, but the vision is intriguing enough for a state official's praise.
Detroit Electric, organized in the United Kingdom, leased a Midtown office and plans to start making two-seat sports cars (above) this August somewhere in Michigan, its Tuesday announcement says. An unnamed "global carmaker" is a partner.
Corporate headquarters is on the 18th floor of the iconic Fisher Building . . . with Don Graunstadt, CEO, North America Operations at Detroit Electric, signing a long-term lease.
A site has also been identified to assemble the first ever pure electric sports car in Michigan, with production to start in August. The dedicated production facility will have an annual capacity of 2,500 sports cars. Detroit Electric aims to create over 180 sales and manufacturing-related jobs over the next 12 months. . . .
This new sports car will be launched early next month in Detroit, ahead of a global public reveal at the Shanghai Motor Show on April 20. The show will also provide the platform for Detroit Electric to share an exciting announcement about a major partnership with a global carmaker.
The chairman and chief executive is Albert Lam, former group CEO of the Lotus Engineering Group and executive director of Lotus Cars of England.
The venture gets some kind of state assistance, Graunstadt indicates without details :
"Our investors and management team are thankful to the State of Michigan for the help provided. . . . We are proud to become the fourth car manufacturer born out of Detroit, and the first to manufacture a pure electric sports car from Michigan."
Three years ago, Nathan Bomey reported at AnnArbor.com that "the firm is seeking tax incentives from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. . . . to establish a technical center to serve as the engineering headquarters for its global electric vehicle operation." That february 2010 article spoke of "plans to hire more than 500 engineers."
The new release has turbocharged language ("relentless research and engineering development . . . bold styling, outstanding performance, exhilarating handling characteristics and impressive range"), but no specifics on mileage, cost or range between battery charges.
Michigan Economic Development Corporation bigwigs saw and heard enough to become believers. Michael Finney, president and CEO of the state agency, is quoted in the handout:
"Detroit Electric's decision to establish its new headquarters in Detroit is great news, because it builds on Michigan's automotive heritage and places the company in the world's automotive epicenter with a business climate that will enable its success. We look forward to Detroit Electric's continued growth in the state as it creates innovative vehicles and new job opportunities for Michigan workers."
Finney and the firm, which lists two British publicists as the only contacts, don't say anything about state investment or incentives. Among other topics not yet addressed:
- Where's the factory?
- When and how can applicants seek the "180 sales and manufacturing-related jobs"?
- What "major partnership" stake will a larger carmaker have?
- Will production be at a plant it owns?
Tuesday's release from a PR agency in Kent, U.K., notes that Detroit Electric was the name of an early 20th century carmaker whose customers included "John D. Rockerfeller Jr." -- an industrialist whose last name gains an "r" it doesn't have.

Time for an investment quiz (no worries–this is just one question). You can choose from one of the following two hypothetical mutual funds. The Racy Fund gained 75% in 2010 but lost 45% in 2011. For the two years, its average return was 15%. The Boring Fund gained a positive 4% in each year, so its average return was (you guessed it) 4%. Which fund would you want to own?
On the face of it, most of us would take the Racy Fund. But if we did, we'd actually find the Boring Fund was the better choice. Let's translate those percentage returns into actual dollar amounts. Assume you had $1,000 invested in each fund at the start of 2010.
The Racy Fund was worth $1,750 at the end of 2010 but then fell in value to $963 by the end of 2011. Meanwhile, the Boring Fund was worth $1,040 in 2010 and $1,082 by the end of 2011. Even though the "average" return of the Boring Fund was quite a bit less than the Racy Fund, the final account value of the Boring Fund was over $100 more. How can that be???
Mathematically, the difference is between a simple arithmetic average and a compound (or geometric) return. Arithmetic returns (simple averages) can hide what an investor really experiences in dollar terms. In geometric terms, the Racy Fund actually had about a negative 2% return on average. The Boring Fund's geometric return was an even 4%.
Okay, so now that you really can use your old high-school math as an adult after all (you remember saying as a teenager, "when will I ever use this stuff?"), so what? As an investor, you win or lose in dollar terms. Percentages and return numbers might make for bragging rights at work with your buddies, but what really matters is what you earn in dollar terms. You can't spend percentages.
If you haven't done this in a while, take out your old calculator and add up what you've put into your investments. Then compare that to what they're actually worth now. What the advertisements proclaim may not be (and very likely won't be) what you've actually earned. And if what you've actually made in dollar terms isn't what you're seeing advertised, it may be time to change investments, advisors, strategies, your investment mix, whatever. Do the math yourself in dollar terms; it won't lie. But this exercise may help motivate you to make some investment changes to better maximize your retirement readiness!

With a peace sign to boot! If you haven't seen this article yet, it is a must read. Not only does it profile the newest linemen, Mike Wahle, but it contains some classic Hasselbeck anecdotes. Specifically, one I had never heard, about his little red beetle.
Mike Kahn from Seahawks.com does a fantastic job mediating a very funny running joke between Hasselbeck and Wahle. Apparently Matt showed up to his first training camp in a little VW with a flower or peace sign on it depending on who you believe. It also had psychedelic purple lights. Can you imagine Hasselbeck, Wahle and two other rookies roaming around the tiny town that is Green Bay in a little bug with hippie paraphernalia? If that doesn't make you chuckle than I don't know what will. END

The Hungarian word for food -- eter -- has, of course, no relation whatever to "eat." As a non-Indo-European tongue virtually all Hungarian words are inscrutable even to the traveler who knows French and German. Few tourists gain any substantial acquaintance with the language, but every visitor comes to know something of the cuisine. The intimate communication of dining, the very paradigm of travel as the foreign outside is taken into oneself and assimilated with delight or dyspepsia, is available from every café, restaurant, and street vendor; it is all but inevitable. (It takes really stubborn satisfaction to return from Acapulco's Hilton as Henry did, saying, "They eat just like we do: big steaks, salad bar . . .") Eating Hungarian food while meditating on the word eter, one may come to associate that assertive t with insistent garlic, paprika, and heavy-handed salting, the liquid r with the richness of fats (lard and deep-frying are still popular; cream, sour or fresh, may top anything; pastries and snacks are popular at all hours, including the humblest of all: langos or fried dough, susceptible to toppings ranging from sugar to garlic), and those precise little es with the strength of the basic ingredients, the goose, duck, pork, and carp, the potatoes and pasta and egg noodles veering toward gnocchi that form the cuisine's foundation. Eter. The word food sounds flat-footed by comparison, but no more than an American diner meal might taste.
The stereotype of Central and Eastern European meals as weighty affairs has some truth yet (though for me Hungarian restaurants offer nothing as hefty as their Czech cousins whose ubiquitous "farmer's plate" may include two types of dumplings and three varieties of pork, the entire composition chromatically muted, a sort of grey tending toward beige). The category of "special diet" or "health-conscious" options in restaurants with an English menu may list only deep-fried foods, starting with deep-fried Camembert which has earned its role as a "diet" dish due to being meatless.
The Jegverem restaurant in Sopron glories in substantial offerings, calling itself "a restaurant for guzzle-guts." A rhyme in the menu entertains the waiting customer with its pleasantly garbled English, though reserving a trap-door for the last line:
Be it lunch, dinner, or other meat,
Our lifestyle is to have big feat.
Hungarians always up tull eat,
Whilst they lie under a coffin-sheet.
At this establishment Patricia had venison stew, while for me it was a pig's knuckle, served over leeks and pickles inside a container of bread topped with sour cream and accompanied by a half liter of Soproni beer. (As this was a "gypsy" preparation, the ever-whimsical menu description said, "First, steal a pig and singe the hair off. If you are too lazy to do this, steal a pig already singed . . .")
The Hungarian cook operates on a principle of savory overkill, overwhelming the diner with rich substance. At the Lukac in Budapest, I had pork stuffed with liver pate and then breaded, fried, and served with paprika sauce; Patricia had veal stuffed with Roquefort, then rolled in nuts and fried. There was such a quantity of Roquefort she left a great pool on her plate. Ordering goose leg at the Cellarium in Pecs, she was given two sizable legs with thighs attached as well as a side dish of cabbage prepared with apples and champagne. And we were eating at modest establishments.
The typical Central European breakfast of (bread with cheese and cold cuts or sausages in its minimalist form in a cheap pension was enhanced with little individual packets of liver and ham paté, hazelnut butter, and tarragon mustard. One could pass on the sorry sort of juice drink and make the most of the muesli.
At the main indoor market of Pest, the Vamhaz, a fanciful turn of the century building with excited ornamentation, one sees the noble fresh-water fish so popular here, catfish, and trout, giant carp and pike-perch from Lake Balaton. Apart from a marvelous variety of peppers, root vegetables abound: overgrown radishes, unapologetic celery roots, parsnips, even kohlrabi. These fine and sturdy vegetables seem rarely, though, to make their way to restaurant plates where salad is apologetic: a few slices of cucumber, a bit of shredded cabbage, and a pickled morsel or two.
Louis XIV called tokay "Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum" ("Wine of kings, king of wines"), and, having come to its hometown, we sampled the celebrated Tokaj Aszu which we could hardly stomach in spite of its praise by popes and nobles of earlier eras of taste. Then there are the wines: Egri Bikavér or Bull's Blood, of course, and some palatable enough others, kekfrankos and kekoporto. Hungarians make as well a variety of distilled palinkas with their intense fruit spirits, and the mysterious bitter liqueur Unicum. John Cross relayed his mother's folk wisdom about this dark blend of many herbal flavorings, "It's medicinal, really. After sleeping your blood sugar is down low and you need a swig or two of Unicum in the morning to get going. You see, it has a white cross on the bottle. That's because it's good for you."

No more almonds for Easter
Every Easter I remember her. My grandma. It pains me to talk about how I miss her because, truth be told, I never really paid her much attention when she was living. Granted, there were reasons for it. But still. It sounds a little fake when I say I miss her. But it's the honest truth. I do. And I always miss her the most around Easter. As she got older my grandma had trouble moving about, her joints and bones ached constantly and she got tired after a few steps. She had a heart condition. And yet every year she found the strength to drag herself downtown to Chiado to Manuel Tavares, Lda (one of the oldest cafes in Chiado, opened 152 years ago), just to buy a few packs of Easter almonds. One for me, one for my brother and another for L. Year after year she never failed. And it saddens me that this year there'll be no Easter almonds. Not for the almonds, mind you. I miss her. I miss seeing her sitting by the lift talking to L. waiting for me and my brother. I don't know how different things could've been between us, but one thing is true. I never guessed I'd miss her this much.

The Flyers today recalled goaltender Jeremy Duchesne on an emergency basis from the Adirondack Phantoms, their AHL affiliate, according to general manager Paul Holmgren.
Duchesne replaces Michael Leighton, who suffered a high ankle sprain in Tuesday's shootout loss at Nashville. Duchesne's call-up was first reported in today's Daily News.
Duchesne, 23, has a 1-1-0 record with a 1.02 goals-against average and .981 save percentage for the Phantoms. His victory was a 4-0 shutout over the Providence Bruins on March 13. This is his first call-up to the NHL. He also has a 9-4-3-2 record with one shutout, a 3.20 GAA and .904 save percentage for the Kalamazoo Wings, the Flyers' ECHL affiliate.
Duchesne, a native of Silver Spring, Md., was picked by the Flyers in the fourth round of the 2005 draft.

Wonder Woman Respect Super Heroe
Despite being part of the holy trinity of DC heroes and being the most recognizable female comic hero in existence, Wonder Woman's comics continually sell averagely and fanboys keep mocking her — but I can't figure out why. She has an interesting set of villains — even though they're not widely known — and Circe and Cheetah are both fantastic foils for the Amazon. She's had some terrific writers (though some horrible ones) and her runs under Greg Rucka and Gail Simone were both utterly fantastic. Simone especially captured the mythical and epic feel that Wonder Woman can really have if well written. Yet somehow instead we get an Ally McBeal-ized version of her on TV. Say what?

From the markets we got some yummy soap & a shampoo bar & afterwards we played in the park.
It was such a great day for us - in stark contrast to hundreds of families around Victoria today. I feel almost guilty to have enjoyed the day with my daughter while so many people have lost everything they've worked for or even their lives. I have tears in my eyes just typing this.... 700 homes lost & over 65 people already confirmed dead.
My thoughts are with everyone touched by this horrible disaster & my heart goes out to each & every one of you.

California Court of Appeals, Second District, Sixth Division
June 4, 2013
ROBERT FREENY et al., Plaintiff s and Appellants,v.CITY OF SAN BUENAVENTURA et al, Defendants and Respondents.
Superior Court County of Ventura Case No. 56-2011-00403267- CU-WM-VTA Rebecca S. Riley, Judge
Law Offices of James B. Devine and James B. Devine for Plaintiffs and Appellants.
Ariel Pierre Calonne, City Attorney, Andy H. Viets, Senior Assistant Attorney, Jennifer Lee, Assistant City Attorney for Defendants and Respondents.
The California Tort Claims Act (Act) confers immunity from tort liability on public employees when they make "basic policy decisions" in a legislative capacity. (Gov. Code, §§ 820.2, 821, 821.2.)[1] We hold that public employees' tort immunity for legislative decision-making applies even when that decision-making is also alleged to involve the making of misrepresentations motivated by "actual fraud, corruption or actual malice." (§ 822.2) For this reason and others, we affirm the dismissal of plaintiffs' suit against a city and five city council members for nearly $2 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages, for voting against an application for building permits and variances.
We draw these facts from the allegations in the complaint, which we accept as true except where contradicted by the exhibits attached to the complaint. (Tucker v. Pacific Bell Mobile Servs. (2012) 208 Cal.App.4th 201, 210.)
I. Administrative Review
Plaintiffs Robert and Linda Freeny (plaintiffs) own two adjacent parcels of land in mid-town City of San Buenaventura (City). For three years, they worked with their own architect and consulted with the City's staff to design a living facility for senior citizens. The City's planning commission (Planning Commission) eventually approved a 44-unit, 42, 172-square foot facility (the Project), and concomitantly granted a conditional use permit, a design review, an administrative variance, and a lot-line adjustment.
A group of 35 persons living near the proposed facility appealed the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council. Following a remand to the Planning Commission for further fact-finding, the City Council took up the matter at a public hearing. On a five-to-two-vote, the City Council approved the neighbors' appeal and overturned the Planning Commission's approval. In so doing, the City Council found that building a facility of that "size" on a "street-to-street lot" was "incompatible" with the "existing residential neighborhood." The City Council stated that plaintiffs "need[ed] to rethink the entirety of the project, " but that its denial was "without prejudice" and invited plaintiffs to submit a "redesign[ed]" project. The City Council subsequently adopted a formal resolution sustaining the appeal "without prejudice."
II. Plaintiffs' Complaint
Plaintiffs sued the City and five City Council members (collectively, defendants) who voted to reject the Project.[2] The complaint includes a petition for administrative mandamus seeking an order (1) commanding the City to approve the Project or (2) requiring a new hearing before the City Council. The complaint also prays for $1.8 million in compensatory damages and additional punitive damages arising from tort claims for fraud, misrepresentation and, because plaintiffs are in their 70s, elder abuse.
III. The Trial Court's Ruling
The trial court sustained defendants' demurrers without leave to amend on two grounds. First, the court concluded that plaintiffs' lawsuit was not ripe because the City's denial "without prejudice" left administrative remedies unexhausted. The court rejected plaintiffs' arguments that further exhaustion was futile or would irreparably injure plaintiffs. Second, the court ruled that defendants were immune from liability for adopting laws under sections 818.2 and 821; for denying permits or similar authorizations under sections 818.4 and 821.2; and for exercising their discretion ...

Look, I know there are some things that just shouldn't be said in polite company. But I'm going to come right out and say it anyway, for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know what the term "tea bagger" means.
It is a term referring to the homosexual practice of dipping the male scrotum into another man's mouth and allowing him to suck on the testicles.
Homosexual newscaster Keith Olberman was the first to derogatorily refer to Tea Party patriots as "tea baggers."
And now, that's the term Obama chooses to label his right wing critics with.
While he piously calls for the right wing to "tone down the rhetoric" and accuses Tea Party activists of "inciting extremism" with their criticism of his policies, he then shows his real face by hypocritically smearing those opposed to his policies with vile terms that shouldn't even be used in public, much less by the president of the United States.
That's the real Obama.
— Spencer Jones
Now Obama starts referring to right wingers as "tea baggers"; a derogatory term referring to a vile homosexual practice…
The term "tea-bagger" is like uttering the "n" word, some say. Though he aspires to promote civility, evidence has surfaced that President Obama has added "tea-bagger" to his public lexicon, though it's considered a cheap and tawdry insult by "tea party" activists. Watchdogs at Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) barked when they saw the proof, tucked in a sneak peak of Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter's new book, "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," to be released May 18. Indeed, it appears the president joined certain partisan critics and the liberal media, and took the tea-bag plunge.
"This remark is the equivalent of using the 'n' word. It shows contempt for middle America, expressed knowingly, contemptuously, on purpose, and with a smirk. It is indefensible to use this word. The president knows what it means, and his people know what it means. The public thought we reached a new low of incivility during the Clinton administration. Well, the Obama administration has just outdone them," ATR president Grover Norquist tells Inside the Beltway.
There is not always parity in these situations. There were outraged calls for Rep. Dan Burton's resignation and massive press coverage after the Indiana Republican called President Clinton a "scumbag" during the Monica Lewinsky matter in 1998.
The offending passage that started the tea-bagger shuffle? Mr. Alter wrote, "Obama said that the unanimous House vote against the Recovery Act 'set the tenor for the whole year': 'That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.' "
Mr. Obama himself was recently ruing the contentious state of politics, noting Saturday at a college commencement speech, "We've got politicians calling each other all sorts of unflattering names. Pundits and talking heads shout at each other. The media tends to play up every hint of conflict, because it makes for a sexier story."
The watchdogs, incidentally got their advance look at the book in Mike Allens "Playbook" in Politico.

Bajaj family dispute comes to an endJanuary 1st, 2009 - 10:42 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Jan 1 (IANS) The six-year-old Bajaj family dispute over the division of group companies and assets came to an end Thursday with brothers Rahul Bajaj and Shishir Bajaj withdrawing their petitions from the Company Law Board (CLB).The Bajaj family feud first hit headlines in 2002, when Shishir Bajaj accused his elder brother of trying to oust him from the chairmanship of Bajaj Sevashram, one of the group holding companies.
Shishir Bajaj approached the Company Law Board, seeking redressal in March 2003. The board had then suggested that the two sides should reach an amicable solution.
On Dec 22, the Shishir Bajaj-owned Bajaj Hindustan said in a statement filed with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that Rahul Bajaj would acquire a little more than 29 percent stake from other promoters at market prices Dec 30 and transfer his stake to Shishir Bajaj.
On Wednesday, Rahul Bajaj bought 29 percent stake in Bajaj Hindustan for Rs.2.65 billion (Rs.265.6 crore) through open market transactions as part of steps to the settlement.
A joint statement released by Bajaj brothers - Rahul, Shekhar, Madhur and Niraj - Thursday said the group shareholding in "Bajaj Hindustan Ltd and Bajaj Consumer Care is now with the Shishir Bajaj Group (SKB)".
"The promoter shareholding of all other companies in the Bajaj Group, including that held by the SKB Group, is now with the four brothers of the Bajaj Group," it added.

This past Saturday I visited Chapel Hill Needlepoint, which is part of the Yarns, etc. shop. Wonderful friends had given me a pair of beautiful embroidery scissors recently, and encouraged me to check the shop out. This was the first time in about three years or longer since I had been in and I was delighted with what I found. Nancy explained that they had expanded the products to include so much of what I am interested in! Lots of fuel to feed your creative fire!

Matched-field inversion for source location, environmental properties, or a combination of the two (focalization) is based on comparing measured acoustic fields to replica fields predicted for a variety of possible environmental parameters and/or source positions using a numerical propagation model. Although this approach is conceptually straightforward and widely applicable, it requires a large number of replica-field computations and can be impractically slow if the propagation modeling is not carried out in an efficient manner. This is particularly true for environmental inversion and focalization where the expanded parameter search space generally requires a very large number of replica field computations, even if a relatively efficient optimization algorithm such as simulated annealing (SA) is employed. This paper describes matched-field inversion for geoacoustic properties using SA and rapid acoustic-field modeling. The replica-field modeling is based on the normal mode solution and makes use of multivariate interpolation of precomputed ``look-up'' tables of modal quantities stored as a function of the geoacoustic parameters. The optimum grid-element size for the modal tables is considered, and two interpolation schemes, linear and Shepard's method (locally quadratic), are investigated. An example is given of geoacoustic inversion in a North Pacific environment.

United States District Court, E.D. Louisiana
January 25, 2017
ELADIO CRUZ, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF HIS MINOR CHILD, MELISSA CRUZv.TRACY FULTON
the Court is Louis Koerner's motion for a new trial on
the sanctions the Court imposed in its Order and Reasons,
dated December 8, 2016. For the following reasons, the motion
is DENIED.
This is
a storied proceeding about one lawyer's bizarre antics
toward the Court and his patent disregard of his professional
was brought on as lead counsel for a civil rights suit in
this Court based on his "experience" in the
federal forum. Despite having knowledge of the October 3,
2016 trial date months ahead of time, Koerner arranged for,
and took, a tropical vacation days before the commencement of
trial. The record establishes that counsel failed to comply
with critical deadlines the Court set for documents due
before trial. Plaintiff's counsel failed to timely
deliver a bench book to the Court and to the defendant's
counsel. This failure, coupled with other untimely requests
from plaintiff's counsel, caused the Court to issue an
Order on September 28, 2016 continuing the case's trial
date. As a result, the Court ordered a contempt hearing for a
determination of whether Koerner and his co-counsel should be
held in contempt of Court.
Court held a contempt hearing on December 8, 2016. In its
Order and Reasons the Court found Koerner in contempt of
Court, in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 1927 and Rule 11 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and ordered him to pay
all of the fees and costs that the defendant, Tracy Fulton,
had incurred from September 3, 2014 until September 28, 2016.
now moves the Court to reconsider its sanctions imposed on
December 8, 2016.
requesting reconsideration of court orders generally fall
under Rule 54(b), Rule 59(e), or Rule 60(b) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure. See Higgins v. Cain, No.
07-9729, 2012 WL 3309716, at *1 (E.D. La. Aug. 13, 2012);
Waste Mgmt. of La., Inc. v. River Birch, Inc., No.
11-2405, 2012 WL 876717, at *1 (E.D. La. Mar. 14, 2012);
Castrillo v. Am. Home Mortg. Servicing, Inc., No.
09-4369, 2010 WL 1424398, at *3-4 (E.D. La. Apr. 5, 2010).
Rule 59(e) provides that a motion to alter or amend a
judgment must be filed no later than twenty-eight days after
the entry of judgment. Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e). Rule 60(b), on the
other hand, applies to motions filed after the twenty-eight
day period, but demands more "exacting substantive
requirements." See Lavespere v. Niagara Mach. &
Tool Works, Inc., 910 F.2d 167, 173-74 (5th Cir. 1990),
abrogated on other grounds, Little v. Liquid Air
Corp., 37 F.3d 1069, 1078 (5th Cir. 1994) (en banc).
Rule 59(e) motion 'calls into question the correctness
of a judgment.'" Templet v. Hydrochem,
Inc., 367 F.3d 473, 478 (5th Cir. 2004) (quoting In
re Transtexas Gas Corp., 303 F.3d 571, 581 (5th Cir.
2002)). Because of the interest in finality, Rule 59(e)
motions may only be granted if the moving party shows there
was a mistake of law or fact or presents newly discovered
evidence that could not have been discovered previously.
Id. at 478-79. Moreover, Rule 59 motions should not
be used to relitigate old matters, raise new arguments, or
submit evidence that could have been presented earlier in the
proceedings. See id. at 479; Rosenblatt v.
United Way of Greater Houston, 607 F.3d 413, 419 (5th
Cir. 2010)("[A] motion to alter or amend the judgment
under Rule 59(e) 'must clearly establish either a
manifest error of law or fact or must present newly
discovered evidence' and 'cannot be used to raise
arguments which could, and should, have been made before the
judgment issued.'")(citing Rosenzweig v. Azurix
Corp., 332 F.3d 854, 864 (5th Cir. 2003)(quoting
Simon v. United States, 891 F.2d 1154, 1159 (5th
Cir. 1990)). The grant of such a motion is an
"extraordinary remedy that should be used
sparingly." Indep. Coca- Cola Employees' Union
of Lake Charles, No. 1060 v. Coca-Cola Bottling Co. United,
Inc., 114 F. App'x 137, 143 (5th Cir. Nov. 11, 2004)
(citing Templet, 367 F.3d at 479). The Court must
balance two important judicial imperatives in deciding
whether to reopen a case in response to a motion for
reconsideration: "(1) the need to bring the litigation
to an end; and (2) the need to render just decisions on the
basis of all the facts." Templet, 367 F.3d at
first, and most comic, argument Koerner urges is that the
Court misinterprets its own deadlines. The Court's
scheduling order, given to counsel months in advance of
trial, instructed that a bench book of exhibits is to be
delivered to the Court five working days before trial. A
trial set to commence on Monday, October 3, 2016, would mean
that the bench book would be due to the Court on Friday,
September 23, 2016; that is, five working days before trial.
Koerner ridiculously argues that the Court misapplies the
meaning of "five working days" before trial; he
argues that five ...

So, The Southern isn't capacious enough to hold the crowd that will greet The Lone Bellow. Thm folks' show sold out in a few days and now it has been has been moved to the Jefferson.
I snagged more tix. Friends are coming to town for it.
Thm've surrounded themselves with wonderful musicians on the albums and videos. Check "Fake Roses" for an example. So, I'm really looking forward to this event. I want to see what band they bring with them and their wonderful voices (harmonies) and whether thm and their band can get me out of my seat.

Well hello fall! I'm so excited you finally decided to show up. Nothing makes me happier than walking out my apartment door and being greeted with the cool crisp air, rather than being blasted by 95 degree weather in September. I love the smell, the colors, the spirit, and the change. School routines are in full swing, the folks around you seem to be happier, you start to see fall decorations- mums, pumpkins, scarecrows, gourds. I'm slowly getting my apartment decorated with festive fall flavor and pictures will come later. But fall brings about a lot of great things, football being one of them!
In the opening lines of Remember the Titans, the girl says, "In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, it's bigger than Christmas day." I am convienced that she was talking about football here. Now coming from a high school were you're lucky if you made one touchdown and maybe 100 people show up, let me just say that it's a huge eye opener. I'm talking about tailgating in the parking lot, not being able to find a parking spot 45 minutes prior to the game starting, and more than 200 people sitting in the stands yelling and decked out in their home team gear. Here each time the home team scores a touchdown, there is fireworks, a canon fired, a fire breathing lion, and who could forget a legit lion in a cage facing the field and opposing team. WHAT?! Talk about hardcore football. I've got it right here. I was seriously waiting for Enter Sandman to start playing and the crowd jumping up and down. What can I say, but FISTS UP!!
On a different note, I've come to the conclusion that Bill Cosby wasn't joking when he said "kids say the darnedest things". Here are some highlights from this week:
In response to the poem, "Aliens have landed"
Kid: "Ms. Lee, I've been thinking, and aliens can't come to earth because we can't breathe in space but aliens can, and since we can breathe on earth but not in space then aliens can't breathe on earth. So aliens can't really have landed on earth because it's not possible, they'd die."
In response to getting stung by a bee
Me: "Are you ok?"
Kid: "Yes, I got stung by a bee, but I'm taking it like a man."
In response to questioning about the Parthenon
Me: "The Parthenon was built in Greece and who remembers who's statue was in the middle?"
Kid: "Abraham Lincoln
Me: "No, not Abraham Lincoln. You're thinking of the Lincoln Memorial, which was influenced by the design of the Parthenon.
In response to writing a (group) letter to myself to put in the school time capsule that will be read in 10 years:
Me: "What should the closing to my letter be?"
Kid: "Love the Younger Ms. Lee
To myself: "OMG, how old do they think I'll be"
So here's to life,
Simply N :)

"Catcher in the Rye" vs. "About a Boy"
The novels "Catcher in the Rye", and "About a Boy", are fundamentally very similar. They are very similar in theme, style, and setting; however, they also have fundamental differences. Nevertheless, the theme of isolation in the two novels is very similar.
The theme is the most similar in these books. In "Catcher in the Rye", the protagonist Holden Caulfield is a teenager who isolates himself from the rest of the world; because he believes everything is "phony". …

Vine video of the GSC's Van de Graaff generator:
Who was Van de Graaff?
Robert Jemison Van de Graaff was born in Alabama in 1901. He eventually made his way to college, earning degrees in mechanical engineering and physics. It was during this time that Van de Graaff recognized the need for the development of a particle accelerator, prompted by the fact that many of his fellow scientists were seeking ways to disintegrate nuclei. Recent discoveries had shed light on the elusive atom, and by probing even deeper into the atom, scientists hoped to gain a better understanding of these building blocks of matter. By 1929, he had successfully constructed the first working model of an electrostatic generator (80,000 volts); improvements were made and by 1931, he had constructed a 1,000,000 volt generator. This second generator was two stories tall and is still on display in the Boston Science Museum where it is used daily to teach public audiences about lightning and electricity.
About the Van de Graaff generator:
There are two basic Van de Graaff generator designs: one charges the belt at the rotors, and the other uses friction to strip off electrons. The one we house at the GSC is of the latter variety. Our generator uses a pulley attached to an electric motor to move electrons from its lower end. A rubber belt passes over this pulley; as the pulley turns, friction occurs between it and the rubber belt. This resulting friction strips off electrons from the pulley, causing the belt to have a net negative charge. Why? When two insulators are rubbed together, one loses electrons to the other. Electrons are negatively charged, so that which gains the electrons becomes electrically negative while the other becomes electrically positive.
These charges are then carried by the belt to the top of the machine where, because they are attracted to the metal brush, they collect on the metal dome (which is a conductor). Referring back to the video: since the dome and the metal plates sitting atop of it have the same charge, the plates are repelled away.
Why does it matter?
In general, generators are used to power any electrical device. More specifically, however, the Van de Graaff generator was designed to power particle accelerators. In fact, the very first accelerators were made possible by Van de Graaff's generator because they required large voltages that only his generator could produce.
Since the days of Van de Graaff, particle accelerators have gradually been modified and improved upon, each subsequent design capable of generating more energy than the ones that came before it, ultimately allowing scientists to probe matter on increasingly smaller scales. The most recent accelerator is called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and is located in Geneva, Switzerland. Every year the LHC uses 1.3 Terawatts of electricity to accelerate particles, enough to power 300,000 homes in the same amount of time.
Why accelerate particles at high speeds? In order to understand the largest parts of the universe, we must first look to its smallest components. To do this, we must harness the energy of those large components. Particle accelerators exist to shatter atoms, thereby showing us what the tiniest indivisible blocks of matter are. For example, the LHC has recently verified the existence of a particle that explains why all matter has mass in the first place, confirming a half-century old theory that was previously untestable. This is yet another practice that contributes significantly to the goal of understanding the world around us using science.

text: is there something about San Francisco politics that's not quite fair or open? the snippet below discusses new traffic management technology available only to windows-based cell phones. note the S.F. schools and some other public institutions seem windows-bound, not only internally, but wrt public access. of course, it might be that the other institutions involved have done the filtering, per below: from http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-cover6-2009sep06,0,6494829.story?page=2&track=rss [A] major effort is dubbed IntelliDrive. Funded by the federal government and major automobile manufacturers, and overseen by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the program will begin tests of a traffic warning system in San Francisco next month. Participating drivers will receive signals on their cellphones alerting them to bottlenecks approximately 60 seconds ahead. The phone will say, "Slow traffic ahead" through its speaker phone or headset, and a message will appear on its screen. The operators of the program will use traffic information from several existing sources, including Caltrans, and crunch it to provide the real-time warnings. Only cellphones using... Windows-based operating <---- systems ...will be able to download the software to take part in the test--which leaves out iPhones and BlackBerrys, among others. A video showing how it works is at www.intellidriveusa.org/library/videos.php The ultimate goal is a dashboard warning system, fed by sensors in cars and along highways, to alert drivers of potential hazards all around them, including blind spots.

Top arguing Secrets
"Dads. It's time and energy to show our sons the best way to adequately treat a woman. It's time for you to demonstrate our daughters how a lady really should expect be treated. It's time to present forgiveness and compassion. It's time for you to present our children empathy. It's time to interrupt social norms and instruct a much healthier technique for everyday living! It's time to show superior gender roles also to ditch the unwanted kinds. Does it actually make a difference In case your son likes the color pink? Can it be gonna harm anybody?
Be aware that Even though the keys becoming during the bedroom is usually a basis for the very important, "Allow's look there!" (provided the desirability of acquiring the keys), this proposition is not really "fact apt" and so is not a element of your argument.
The Beforehand presented example of an argument with convergent premises is often a conductive argument. The following is an additional illustration of a conductive argument. It more than likely won't rain tomorrow. The sky is purple tonight. Also, the weather conditions channel claimed a thirty% possibility of rain for tomorrow.
Parents battle for different motives. Perhaps they'd a nasty day at function, or they don't seem to be emotion well, or they're truly exhausted.
But she spoke as though she were arguing against her own conviction. There was no arguing with the guy, and on my aspect, heaven understands, no need to oppose him! Nachman and his wife ended up in the middle of the crowd, arguing and waving their palms. And there have not been wanting people that, arguing from its dependence upon overall body, reported it absolutely was an accident and never a compound. Continue to, the factor took place, on occasion; and when it did, there was no arguing over it.
Children usually concern yourself with what it means when parents combat. They might soar to conclusions and think arguments signify their mother and father You should not like one another anymore. They could Feel it means their moms and dads will get a divorce.
To argue or discussion a certain facet or point of view of a concern at hand, usually a lot more for your sake of argument than a real endeavor to steer the opposing side.
Like he appreciates what she's going through. Like he cares about her. This can be what she planned to see just after every thing transpired with Luke. As an alternative, she observed Jonah's back, each time he turned and walked clear of her.
is surely an argument that an arguer places forward as legitimate. For a sound argument, it's not possible with the premises for being true with the summary Bogus. That's, necessarily When the premises are true, then the summary is accurate.
existing, lay out, stand for - provide ahead and current towards the intellect; "We offered the arguments arguing to him"; "We simply cannot symbolize this awareness to our formal motive"
Hallelujah ignores her. She stays centered on Jonah, even though he won't take a look at her. "What'd he tell you initially?"
Conductive arguments have already been place forward as a third category of arguments (for instance, Govier 2010). A conductive argument is surely an argument whose premises are convergent; the premises count separately in assistance from the conclusion. If one or more premises were faraway from the argument, the diploma of guidance made available from the remaining premises would keep the exact same.
They might assistance by instructing close relatives to pay attention to each other and talk about inner thoughts devoid of yelling and screaming. However it might consider some work, time, and observe, persons in households can usually learn to get together far better.
"Dads. Would you not understand that a kid is That which you inform them They are really? That folks almost always come to be the things they are labeled? Was whatever your son or daughter just did truly the "dumbest detail you've ever seen any person do"? Was it actually the "most absurd issue they at any time could have done"?

And also kept the crusts....true that!
Do you plan to lead the revolution? It can be a bad career move...ReplyDelete
It is a sobering day when you realise there is no safety net.. it is surprising how there hasn't been revolutions.. maybe technology moved us away from direct actionReplyDelete
Noting Jae's answer above, the problem is that we are mollifyed by the fact there is an opposition to the ruling party hopefully with our interests at heart...what fools us!ReplyDelete
We are in dire need of a revolutionReplyDelete
" The world seems so irritable,ReplyDelete
So fraught with social woes,
The paradise promised
Unevenly disposed."
Like this verse a lot, for it zero's in on the problem of mismanagement and unfairness. I never think in turns of not enough, that for me is not the problem. its rather greed/equity
Wishing you a nice Sunday
much love...

I fear the revolution, but sometimes evolution just fails... remember dinosaurs did not become birds without devastation.ReplyDelete
Whoa!Feisty and sharpen our swords...ReplyDelete
A well worded warning of what's waitingReplyDelete
An excellent commentary and a portent of what often comes in the wake of decades of ignorance, arrogance and neglect by policos.
