Sept. 16, 2007
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The No. 1 Santa Clara women's soccer team concluded play at the 2007 Stanford Tournament with a 2-1 triumph over No. 20 Missouri. Scoring the game-winning goal for the Broncos was redshirt senior Tina Estrada, who found the back of the goal on a deflection off of Tigers' goalkeeper Mallory Forst in the 72nd minute. With the win the Broncos improved to 4-0-1 overall, while the Tigers dropped to 4-2-0.
Missouri opened the game with a breakaway goal from Michelle Collins off a pass from Kristin Andrighetto. The remainder of the first half saw the Broncos take five shots that found the hands of Forst. Yet, just under the 33 minute mark, sophomore Kiki Bosio found redshirt sophomore midfielder Courtney Lewis dead center, who chipped the ball in to tie the score 1-1.
The majority of the second half was equally matched as each team found it hard to take any shots. Yet, that all changed when Estrada subbed back into the match. Freshman defender Maxine Goynes had a shot that hit the post and bounced off the hands of Forst, landing right at the feet of Estrada in the 72nd minute. The goal was her second of the season.
With the one-point edge, the Broncos continued to fight aggressively for the ball with Estrada attempting two more shots to widen SCU's lead. The Tigers' Collins tried again at the 83rd minute to knot the score, but senior goalkeeper Meagan McCray was ready to stop anything that came her way. Santa Clara's defense stepped in to hold back Missouri and finished the weekend, 2-0.
The Broncos remains on the road next weekend as they travel to Arizona for two contests. Santa Clara beings action in the Grand Canyon State on Friday, Sept. 21 against Arizona State at 7 p.m., PT. The Broncos then face the Wildcats of Arizona on Sunday, Sept. 23 at 1 p.m., PT.

This is Instagram T-Shirt Spotting. I use Instagram a lot. A LOT. This makes sense since I'm pretty much glued to my iPhone and I love to snap photos. One of the great things about Instagram are the awesome random photos that I stumble upon. Occasionally I spot an awesome T-Shirt on Instagram like Happy Face/Sad Face* from Benjawan Ardner (@bow_benjawan on Instagram).
*I made this name up. Like many of the T-Shirts posted on Instagram, there is no mention of the brand name or T-Shirt design name.

Companies operating an entire network of car parks rather than just a single one are faced with many different challenges. No matter whether they are spread out through an urban area, a region or an entire country, the central administration of different locations requires a system structure which makes all processes absolutely transparent, on a hardware as well as a database level. PM ABACUS has been consistently developed for this task right from the outset. With its superior networking and scaling capability, this system permits a level of control and flexibility never achieved before. In addition to this, Ethernet and TCP/IP as global standards make PM ABACUS open to the integration of systems for Facility Management, video monitoring, vehicle registration number recording and other services.
Every transaction that occurs during the parking process is assigned to the respective ticket in the central SQL database and made available for the reporting system. Extensive evaluations are generated at the touch of a button and made available immediately all over the world via the WebReport Internet application. From here, it is only a short step to your company database, because the automated data import into SAP or other corporate software is seamless.
The transaction data collected over a longer period of time enables the visualisation of the typical "ticket process", from entry to the car park right through to departure – ideal for marketing purposes.
With PM ABACUS, you also have the tariff structure completely under control – individually configured for your various locations and user groups. Permanent ticket holders receive individual terms and conditions and the accrued costs are invoiced automatically at the agreed intervals. Car park management can hardly be any more convenient and customer friendly.

Sifnos | Cyclades
Whitewashed villages gleaming under the sunlight, spectacular waters that change colour as the sun travels across the bright blue sky, sloping tree-lined mountains….the scenery of Sifnos is mesmerizing,
its Greek-chic feel smoothing out the austerity of the landscape with accents of white and blue. The town is enchanting, with its dreamy waterfront, winding alleys and charming yards vividly coloured by bougainvillea and pots of local herbs. The coastline is packed with charming coves with crystal clear waters, flanked by quaint seaside villages.
Sifnos' fairytale quality has been attracting a diverse crowd of yachters, jet-setters and savvy travellers for years – those who like their luxury with a dash of sophistication – a sophistication perhaps derived from the fact that the island has been producing great poets, writers and philosophers since ancient times. It is also a foodie's paradise, with a rich cuisine and a variety of superb local produce -a tradition that goes back to the 18th century.
Apollonia, Artemonas and KastroSifnos' main settlements, anchored by Apollonia, the capital and heart of the island. All three of them are full of architectural gems that have been recognized as "protected traditional buildings" since 1962. Stroll around the alleys of the villages to take in the effortless elegance of the setting and then head to one of the small cafes to try the local sweets.
Moni ChrisopigisBuilt in the 17th century, Sifnos' most important monastery is perched on a rocky promontory that overlooks the Aegean, a scenery of typical Cycladic beauty straight from a postcard. After visiting the monastery, swim at the beach of Chrisopigi and then head to one of the charming tavernas to enjoy some delicious local food.
TrekkingSifnos boasts an excellent network of 19 marked hiking trails that provide100km of fabulous walks. The trails are designed to introduce trekkers to the island's natural and cultural treasures, including the 77 towers that were constructed from the 6th to the 3rd century BC to protect the inhabitants from the attacks of the pirates.
Cycladic Gastronomy Festival Nikolaos TselemedesThe culinary festival, which takes its name from the famous Greek chef born on the island, is an annual event that takes place in early September and brings together professional chefs from across the Cyclades to present each island's local dishes. Visitors can try the dishes and attend the music and dance events with traditional island music.
Fabled as "the island of poets", Sifnos carries an effortless elegance that lends an air of sophistication to its typical island charm.
It also has a lively nightlife, featuring numerous bars for every taste and style. Given its culinary tradition and exquisite local produce, Sifnos offers first-rate dining whether you opt for an intimate family-run taverna or a gourmet restaurant.
Ask the locals about the panigiria, the local feasts that are organised in the inland settlements – a great chance to mingle with the locals and experience the traditional way of life. Visit some of the 237 churches and monasteries that are sprinkled around the island.
Visit the island's gem, the traditional settlement Artemonas, just off the outskirts of Apollonia. Wander around the medieval settlement of Kastro and take the path to the small church of Eftamartira for some awe-inspiring views.
You can get to Sifnos by ferry from the port of Piraeus. The ride lasts 2.5 - 35 hrs depending on the route. Alternatively, you can fly to Paros or Naxos and take a connecting ferry from there.
Although primarily a yachting destination, Sifnos will surprise guests with its vast selection of holiday villas to rent. Whitewashed luxury villas with a swimming pool welcoming a group of friends, or small yet cozy luxurious private villas for utter seclusion are included in our handpicked selection of holiday villas for you to choose your perfect match.

Raise the reputation required to close, raise the number of votes needed to close, allow "anti-close" votes to keep questions OPEN, do not let someone answer AND at the same time vote to close (or at least force the answer to be community wiki so they can't whore points by reducing answer competition), etc.
Some or all of the above need to be implemented to prevent abuse of the system. It does the community NO good to close questions that are duplicate (yet perhaps the duplicates were old/outdated, or had poor answers, things change fast in IT!), questions that are not "coding" related but nevertheless important topics for developers, or even questions that are somewhat subjective yet developer-related. (Why have a voting system if every answer is black and white true or false???)
I'd like to know why some are so fast to close a question (killing sometimes very good and informative topics) and whether they actually think they are doing everyone else some kind of "favor" by doing so. I don't think the intent of Stackoverflow was to answer plain right/wrong homework coding questions. There are a lot of experienced pros here and like others I want to hear their OPINIONS on certain topics as well as receiving factual answers.

Outfield Accuracy Drill
For an outfielder a good way to work on your accuracy is by laying a trash can at home plate with the open side facing whatever part of the outfield you're throwing from. Have a teammate (or yourself) throw up a pop fly. Catch the ball moving forward and on a crow hop throw the ball on one hop to the trash can. Footwork is the key to this drill!

Ashley Braun | April 1, 2011

How deadly is your energy source? The very real and lethal effects of our global energy choices become clear in this interactive data visualization, showing the death rate, as measured by the number of deaths per terawatt hour (TWh), for each of the major global energy sources, e.g., coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear, hydro, peat, and biomass. Take a closer look at the chart here:
Click on the image to view the full size.
The left column displays the percentage of world energy production for each energy source while on the right you can see the corresponding number of attributed deaths per terawatt hour.
To give some perspective to the value of a terawatt hour: "All wind turbines installed by the end of 2009 worldwide are generating 340 TWh per [year], equivalent to the total electricity demand of Italy, the seventh largest economy of the world, and equaling 2 percent of global electricity consumption," according to a report the World Wind Energy Association published last year (PDF). Meanwhile, wind energy's cumulative death rate is 0.01 deaths/TWh (.xls file), based on 44 deaths since 1975, which Paul Gipe, author of Wind Energy Comes of Age, calculated in 2010.
This data visualization comes via IBM's research site, Many Eyes, where you can click through to interact with the data. It doesn't show here the data for solar (rooftop's 0.44 deaths/TWh) or wind, which the original source has claimed both have a higher number of deaths per TWh than nuclear (0.04 deaths/TWh). However, this doesn't take into account the most recent calculations for wind energy (0.01 deaths/TWh), making wind – and not nuclear – the least deadly energy source based on these metrics.
Coal, unsurprisingly, comes out the deadliest energy source, due to the clear health impacts of air particulate pollution. All the more reason the Environmental Protection Agency should be strictly regulating coal power's many hazardous air pollutants.
Nuclear energy's low death rate may seem somewhat surprising because of its pervasively toxic stigma (Homer Simpson working at a nuclear plant controls? – radiation! meltdown! Chernobyl!). However, the low rate here is likely due in part to the fact that nuclear supplies a larger chunk of energy worldwide in comparison to say, solar, and that deaths associated with nuclear energy are harder to link directly because the adverse and fatal effects can develop over a much longer period of time (e.g., cancer). Deaths from solar (rooftop, anyway) tend to be from falling accidents during installation and maintenance on roofs and shouldn't be dismissed in the push for clean energy because these deaths are easily preventable.
Hat tip to GOOD for highlighting the chart.

I also wonder how many extinctions can be blamed on the various energy sources
deaths per TWh
Brian Wang did account for the long term Chernobyl deaths in his calculation, which leads to the 0.04 (or 0.037) deaths per TeraWattHour in the figure.
"Averaging about 2100 TWh from 1985-2005 or a total of 42,000 TWh. So those 50 deaths would be 0.0012 deaths/TWh. If those possible 4000 deaths occur over the next 25 years, then with 2800 TWh being assumed average for 2005 through 2030, then it would be 4000 deaths over 112,000 TWh generated over 45 years or 0.037 deaths/TWh."
I guess one might claim there will be more deaths from cancer from nuclear accidents (GreenPeace certainly do claim there is more). And one could adjust accordingly. On the other hand, as more modern, ever safer, reactors are built, and older reactors retired, the chance of an accident having serious consequences diminishes, and the deaths per unit power would decrease. It's unclear to me that the same could happen with wind: the world is just starting installing wind in riskier locations, such as offshore.
One interesting issue is that as renewables' penetration into the grid increases, their capacity factors may decrease because of the best sites having been taken. This would result in Deaths/TWh delivered increasing, other things being held equal. Another issue is that, even given a constant capacity factor, a system may require that more units be installed to maintain a certain base level of production (the market would need to be oversupplied), leading to more deaths. Alternatively, as wind power's proportion increases, the system may require that turbines deliberately reduce their output (lowering their capacity factor). This would likely increase Deaths/TWh. These last two issues are all tied up with how the "smart grid" and demand management evolve, but they will inevitably have an effect on the death rate.

the data behind this is poorly researched and somewhat questionable. I commented on this also at Barry Brook'̈́s site. E.g., if you look at the original site from which most of this is coming
you find that nuclear is rated at 0.04 deaths per TWh, but when you look at the
grey table given there – taken from an IAEA publication – you read
Occupational fatalities: 0.04
Public fatalities: 0.65
(And I suspect the 0.65 is based on the widely-circulated, but very conservative
4000 Chernobyl figure). So, your source doesn't tell the whole story…
Then, the referenced ExternE 1995 paper that is given as the source for these numbers I haven't been able to find… the ExternE paper that is linked to, is a different one, from 2001.
This is the digging I have done so far… now it's your turn ;-)

Peer reviewed research on the subject
Mark Z. Jacobson"s peer review paper rated nuclear as safer than coal but much more dangerous than wind, solar, hydro or geothermal or even oil or natural gas. He included the risks of nuclear proliferation in this weighing, and how much blame civilian nuclear deserves for nuclear proliferation is controversial. (Would Pakistan, India and Israel really not have sought and obtained nuclear weapons if they did not have civlian reactors, given great power sponsorship of their nuclear weapons programs?) Even that aside, nuclear still ends up more dangerous than solar, geothermal, wind and hydro and wave. But if you discount proliferation dangers, fewer fatalities than oil, and gas. With or with out proliferation, nuclear is less dangerous than coal. And ethanol is apparently worse than everything.
Jacobson, Mark Z. 2009. "Review of solutions to global warming, air pollution, and energy security." Energy and Environmental Science 2009(2):148-173. http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/pdf/article/2009/ee/b809990c.
(Note: actually without nuclear proliferation, nukes match coal with CCS, that is coal without climate effects. But since the amount of CCS currently in use is a rounding error, we can say that actually existing coal rates much worse than nukes with or without proliferation in Jacobson"s study. Again only one study, but unlike the sources in this post, peer reviewed.
Martin Vermeer replied on Permalink
Gar Lipow, thanks… I knew about Jacobson but had forgotten, good reference.
About proliferation, yes one can argue about how much of a difference civil nuclear programmes make. But I'm not convinced by the disinterestedness of much of the argumentation I've seen.
E.g., if civilian nuclear tech doesn't help proliferation, then why do folks oppose Iran getting enrichment technology, which they claim is for civilian use only? And I remember the story of how Pakistan got hold of the Dutch ultracentrifuge secrets, c/a a soft-spoken young researcher named Khan.
And several other countries got, or almost got, from Pakistan. So I would say it matters.
Gar Lipow replied on Permalink
Yes, on proliferation Im not convinced either. But I think the argument is good enough that it is worth weighting things both ways. Incidentally am I the only whose apostrophe key does not work on this site? Works fine everywhere else.
Gar Lipow replied on Permalink
Other sources for deaths
I replied to Martins comment, listing a peer review source that put nuclear ahead in fatalities of many of the sources the chart says it is safer than. Im guessing that because I put in a link, it put the comment into moderation.
BTW I cant use apostrophes on this site, but they work everywhere else. Is that just me, or that general to this site. Ive read it for a long time, but seldom commented on a post.

Activists Start Global Campaign Against Killer Robots
Death to Skynet!
A new global campaign to persuade nations to ban "killer robots" before they reach the production stage is to be launched in the UK by a group of academics, pressure groups and Nobel peace prize laureates.
Robot warfare and autonomous weapons, the next step from unmanned drones, are already being worked on by scientists and will be available within the decade, said Dr Noel Sharkey, a leading robotics and artificial intelligence expert and professor at Sheffield University. He believes that development of the weapons is taking place in an effectively unregulated environment, with little attention being paid to moral implications and international law.
The Stop the Killer Robots campaign will be launched in April at the House of Commons and includes many of the groups that successfully campaigned to have international action taken against cluster bombs and landmines. They hope to get a similar global treaty against autonomous weapons.
