Cherenkov Radiation
A basic explanation of Cherenkov Radiation from Encyclopedia Britannica.
Cherenkov Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle gives off energy as it moves through a transparent medium faster than the speed of light in that medium.
Does nuclear waste really glow?
Often associated with nuclear power is a strange blue glow. Find out what causes this Cherenkov radiation.
Ionising Radiation and Health
Radiation can interact with surrounding matter to produce positively and negatively charged particles (a type of electricity). This process is called ionisation, hence the term ionizing radiation.
Synchrotron Radiation
When moving charges spiral in a magnetic field, they produce radiation as a result of their accelerations which is called synchrotron radiation.
Blackbody Radiation
Blackbody radiation refers to an object or system which absorbs all radiation incident upon it and re-radiates energy which is characteristic of this radiating system.

Bosses at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas have dismissed reports suggesting Ben Affleck has been banned from the resort for allegedly counting cards at a blackjack table.
Reports suggest the star's gambling success on Tuesday night prompted Hard Rock security staff to ask him to step away from the table.
Affleck has yet to comment on the drama, but venue bosses have issued a statement to make it clear that the actor/director is always welcome in their gambling halls.
The statement reads: "Mr. Affleck, a valued guest of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is not banned from our property and is welcome back any time."
The movie star is currently preparing to take on the role of Batman in the new "Man of Steel" sequel.

Absa Cape Epic: Done and dusted
I'm writing this on Tuesday morning, after a long Monday clearing email inboxes, attending meetings and trying to make sense of real life again. A colleague asked what the best part of the Absa Cape Epic was, but the memories are a blur.
My race partner, crank.co.za journo Rory van Zyl, and I rode our bikes together for more than 42 hours in the past eight days.
It got hot, cold, muddy, windy.
We wheeled along at an average speed of 17km/h. We travelled 718km and climbed nearly 15 000m into the sky.
A few days before the race started, Rory warned: "We are going to go to some pretty dark places." But strangely, I don't remember those.
I remember winding through a Port Jackson forest above Sir Lowry's Pass and hearing a man howling in agony in the woods ahead of us. When we reached him, he was wrapped around a tree, grasping his shoulder, bike on top of him, still yowling.
I remember consistently fighting with the camera mounted to my handlebars. Either it stopped working for no reason, or it swung ineffectively below the bars, or it was caked in mud. I did manage to gather some footage though.
Look out for the shot of Rory using a unique technique to wash the mud from his gears - there's a good memory.
Handle Bar. I remember Sea Point bike shop, the Handle Bar, which served perfectly brewed mugs of coffee to journalists at the race villages in Robertson, Greyton and Elgin.
Green. A stand-out memory was rounding the final turn on day eight and seeing the rolling green lawns of Lourensford, our families cheering as we pedalled slowly across the finish line in 150th position, happy that we had kicked butt, much bad luck aside. But this probably was not our best part.
The best memory was somewhere else. Somewhere deep in a hidden fold of the Western Cape.
It was maybe one of the many moments when our bikes failed; staring haplessly at Rory's perforated tyre; kicking my front derailleur straight; stopping to stretch out a bunched-up hamstring; swearing under my breath as I chased Rory up a nasty climb; silently thanking him once I'd survived a series of these hard efforts and we finished a stage in good time; a long freewheeling singletrack; Piet Calitz hooting and taking photos with one hand as he passed me pushing my broken bike up a mountain pass; chocolate milk, beers and red wine at the finish …

My hope and > expectation is that the power of such RF signals is MUCH too low to do > such damage, but it would be comforting to hear an authoritative answer > from someone who knows more physics than I. I would say no, no, no. And no. Remember, the TOTAL power going into the thing (per CPU) is order of 100 Watts these days. Most of that power is dissipated making flips flop on the many itty bitty switches, and in making disks dance this way and that, and in creating signals that run down this line or that. Engineers view power going anywhere that they don't need it to go (correctly!) as LOSS. So radiated power is bad, not just because it can cause all sorts of malfunctions by generating voltages where you don't want them but because they have to replace that power and run everything hotter as a consequence. I'd guess that total radiated power even from an unshielded unit is less than a watt (possibly much less) and radiates out in all sorts of directions and in frequencies that aren't absorbed "suddenly" in human tissue. That may be plenty for a radio to pick up, might even be enough for a nearby circuit to resonate to, but will heat your nearby hand up far less than the warm air convecting off of the hot surfaces, far less than the blackbody energy radiating from the hot surfaces, and even then far less than your body can easily dispose of. You're also well below the frequencies and intensities where quantum transitions (of, say, a biological molecule) were at all likely. So neither average power (heating of tissue) nor quantum transition (resonantly breaking a key molecular bond in e.g. DNA) is likely to be any danger. SO I wouldn't worry. I don't worry much about cell phones, either. Microwave ovens, I worry about. TV sets and CRT's in general I worry about (they produce soft X rays and other ionizing radiation with some probability, especially close to the tube). > Along those same lines...

A Famous List Person and I were kicking around this question as a possible interesting topic for EE or Computer engineer student types.

ARRC Technology
ARRC is a Technology company that provides technology services to small to medium businesses in the Bakersfield, CA area. We take care of their ENTIRE network (including their hardware) so they can have the peace of mind that everything is working, backed up, and in production at all time. We have been in business for 18 years and we are the biggest IT company in the city. We are trying to showcase (in this new proposal) all of the services (value adds) that WE DO that our competition does not. We need a really creative way to do that. Right now in the current proposal we do it through a long list of services but nothing really stands out. When we present it, we make sure it stands out but most of the time, the person we present to has to give that proposal to another person or they show others. So we want that message to stand out even if the person has not heard us present. We are a "Think Outside the Box" company and are not uncomfortable with taking risks. We want to obviously keep it clean but we want a proposal unlike any proposal our prospects have ever seen. And we want it to stand out from all others.
Small to Medium sized businesses. This will usually be from 5-200 employees at a company.
The wording needs to stay (pretty much) the same. We just want a way (either with design or some other form of creativity) to make it stand out and really focus on the key items that we are doing that no one else (our competition is doing). So the amount of data needs to stay the same but can be adjusted. We are open to ideas and want to be different. It cannot be offensive though. We don't want to scare our prospects so it still needs to be very professional.
The items that really make us stand out is the amount of time we have been in business. Our size (over 50 employees). Our depth of expertise in all hardware and software applications, local company. Our awards. The services that we do that our competition does not is on page 8 and those "extra value services" are Parts and Labor Hardware included on existing machines, Rental Equipment, Quarterly Business Reviews (needs to be added), and Technology Road map (needs to be added).

SANTA FE — Two outside political groups free from New Mexico's campaign contribution limits spent nearly $4 million to influence legislative races, which ended up with Democrats retaining control of the House and Senate.
According to a campaign finance report filed on Thursday, a political committee with ties to Republican Gov. Susana Martinez spent $2.4 million in the primary and general election campaigns. The group — Reform New Mexico Now — paid for advertising and mailings in 31 House and Senate races, including several Democratic primary contests, according to Jay McCleskey, the governor's political adviser.
A Democratic-leaning political group called Patriot Majority New Mexico dumped almost $1.4 million into general election contests. The group was formed in August and received most of its money from labor unions. It backed about 20 House and Senate candidates, according to Craig Varoga, the PAC's president and a Washington, D.C.-based Democratic strategist.
The two political committees were the biggest spenders in legislative contests, and were free to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money because they didn't coordinate their campaign strategy with candidates.
Federal court rulings have given the green light to corporations, unions and other groups to operate outside of contribution restrictions if they're spending independently on advertising that advocates the defeat or election of a candidate.
This was the first election in New Mexico in which legislative candidates were subject to limits on how much they could accept from donors — $5,000 per election from a political committee and $2,300 from an individual for a primary or general election. The state's contribution limits went into effect after the 2010 general election.
Sen. Peter Wirth, a Santa Fe Democrat, said he expected this year's costly campaigns to increase support among Democrats and Republicans for legislation to tighten campaign disclosure requirements on outside political groups. He said it's not possible under federal court rulings to impose contribution limits on the groups, however.
"There is no question the landscape is dramatically different after this election cycle," Wirth said in an interview. "We're going to have 112 experts on campaigns having just been through something that I don't think has ever been seen before at the state legislative level."
All 112 seats in the House and Senate were up for election this year.
The governor's allies formed Reform New Mexico Now to chip away at Democratic majorities in the House and Senate in hopes of improving chances for her legislative agenda during the second half of her term.
The committee raised $122,500 from Oct. 31 through Dec. 1, including $50,000 from a Farmington company, M & R Trucking, and $25,000 from Foster Friess, an investor from Jackson, Wyo.
Martinez also operates a political committee, Susana PAC, that directly contributed money in legislative races and was able to coordinate its political work with candidates. That group has spent almost $1.1 million since last year.
Some candidates stepped up their spending to try to counter the ads and mailings paid for by outside groups.
In southeast New Mexico, Senate President Tim Jennings, a Roswell Democrat, lost his re-election despite outspending his GOP opponent 6-to-1. Jennings spent almost $399,000 to about $66,300 by Republican Cliff Pirtle of Roswell.
Jennings was among the Democrats targeted by Reform New Mexico Now. The group tried unsuccessfully to defeat Senate Majority Michael Sanchez, a Belen Democrat, who spent nearly $291,800 on his campaign — nearly four times more than his GOP opponent.

Another edition of Origins, CNS Documentary Service, for more than 35 years the primary source for church texts, is in the mail and posted online. Here's what's in the edition dated Oct. 25:
- If Muslims and Christians are not at peace, the world cannot be at peace, an international group of Muslim leaders and scholars say in a letter to Christian leaders, including Pope Benedict XVI. Finding common ground between the world's two largest religions is a demand of their shared belief in the unity of God and of the necessity of love for him and of one's neighbor, they say.

- Where there is acceptance of the direct killing of noncombatant civilians or justification of the use of torture in eliciting information from prisoners, there is no military chaplaincy worthy of its name, says the former head of the U.S. military archdiocese, Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien of Baltimore. (Subscribers: Click here)
- An earned path to citizenship for illegal immigrants constitutes neither amnesty nor a reward for lawbreaking because offenders pay a penalty proportionate to the intent and effect of their lawbreaking and remain accountable to the law, says Cardinal Roger M. Mahony. (Subscribers: Click here)

Fox still repeatedly pushing small business tax lie
Research ››› ››› CHRISTINE SCHWEN
On November 29, Fox & Friends repeatedly suggested that most small businesses will be affected by the extension of the Bush tax cuts, despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of small business would be unaffected by the expiration of the tax cuts for the rich.
Fox & Friends guests repeatedly suggest expiration of Bush tax cuts will largely affect small businesses
Alex Cortes: Bush tax cuts for wealthy will "hit 50 percent of all small business income." On the November 29 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Alex Cortes of the Restore the Dream Foundation asserted that the portion of the Bush tax cuts that affect those making more than $250,000 a year "aren't just tax cuts for the so-called wealthy. It'll hit 50 percent of all small business income."
Payne: Letting tax cuts on rich expire will "attack small businesses." Later during the program, Fox & Friends guest Charles Payne suggested that the Democrats' plan to let the tax cuts expire for the wealthiest Americans, which is estimated to save $700 billion over 10 years, would disproportionately affect small businesses. Payne stated: "The $700 billion number that they throw out, over 10 years as far as the deficit, I see it the exact opposite. If we attack small businesses, and we hike their taxes January 1, that means less hiring." Payne later asserted that letting the tax cuts expire would be the "largest tax hike in the history of this country."
Vast majority of small businesses would not be affected by allowing Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest expire
As Media Matters has repeatedly pointed out, at least 97 percent of small businesses would not pay higher taxes if the Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 were allowed to expire. According to the Tax Policy Center's (TPC) table of 2007 tax returns that reported business income, 481,000 of those returns, or 2 percent, were in the top two income brackets. And according to PolitiFact, the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) has projected that in 2011, "Only 3 percent of all taxpayers who reported having positive business income will see their taxes go up under the proposed Democratic initiative" of letting the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy expire. [Tax Policy Center, 4/27/07; PolitiFact, 8/4/10]
Businesses that are affected by top Bush tax cuts are not necessarily "small"
The so-called "small businesses" that will supposedly have 50 percent of "small business income" affected are not necessarily "small businesses." As Media Matters has noted, the apparent sources for the claim that 50 percent of "small business income" would be affected by letting the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans expire, Tax Policy Center and the Joint Committee on Taxation, also noted that that the businesses reporting income that would be affected are not necessarily what most people consider "small businesses" and would include law partnerships, accountants, consultants, real-estate investors, actors, professional athletes, and authors like President Obama. [Joint Tax Policy Committee, 7/12/10; Tax Policy Center, 8/4/10]
JCT: "These figures for net positive business income do not imply that all of the income is from entities that might be considered 'small.' " A July 12 analysis of Obama's FY2011 Budget Proposals by the JCT stated that "three percent of all taxpayers with net positive business income" would see higher taxes under Obama's plan, adding that "[t]hese figures for net positive business income do not imply that all of the income is from entities that might be considered 'small'." [Joint Tax Policy Committee, 7/12/10]
TPC: "We don't know how many of these businesses are really small." On August 4, the Tax Policy Center blog stated that 2.5 percent of taxpayers who report business income on their individual tax returns would pay higher rates under Obama's plan and that "we don't know how many of these businesses are really small." [Tax Policy Center, 8/4/10]
CBPP: Much "business income" does not go to "what most Americans think of when they hear the term 'small business.' " In an August 3 post, Chuck Marr and Gillian Brunet of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) wrote that extending the tax cuts for high-income taxpayers "would do little for small business because only the top 3 percent of people with any business income, let alone income from a small business, would benefit." The post further stated that "large amounts of 'business income' go to concerns like large corporate law practices, accounting firms, and wealthy people who invest in financial and real estate partnerships. These are not what most Americans think of when they hear the term 'small business.' [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 8/3/10]
CBO: Extending tax cuts for wealthy "does not create much incentive ... to hire more workers"; is poor stimulus
CBO: Extending tax cuts "does not create much incentive ... to hire more workers." CBO director Douglas Elmendorf stated in February written testimony that "[d]eferring the scheduled increases in tax rates in 2011 would help some businesses" but that "increasing the after-tax income of businesses typically does not create much incentive for them to hire more workers in order to produce more, because production depends principally on their ability to sell their products." [Elmendorf's written testimony to the Joint Economic Committee, February, 2010 [[2/10]] ]
Economists: Extending the tax cuts that benefit only the wealthy is poor stimulus.
- Howard Gleckman, Tax Policy Center: "... higher income households are more likely to bank the cash than spend it. As a result, tax cuts for these high-earners will do relatively little to boost the economy in the short run." [Tax Policy Center, 10/31/10
- Congressional Budget Office: As stimulus, allowing only the top tax cuts to expire "would be more cost-effective" than extending all of the cuts "because the higher-income households that would be excluded would probably save a larger fraction of their increase in after-tax income." [CBO, 1/2010]
- Paul Krugman: "[I]t's hard to think of a less cost-effective way to help the economy." [New York Times, 8/22/10]
CBO scored "[d]eferring the scheduled increases in tax rates" as the lowest-scoring policy proposal to stimulate economy. In a January 14 report on "Policies for Increasing Economic Growth and Employment in 2010 and 2011," CBO stated:
[P]olicies that would temporarily increase the after-tax income of people with relatively high income, such as an across-the-board reduction in income taxes or an increase in the exemption amount for the AMT, would have smaller effects [than other options] because such tax cuts would probably not affect the recipients' spending significantly.

An in-depth look at energy costs and their impact on farming operations will be a feature of the 56th annual Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, to be held Feb. 29-March 1 at the Memphis Cook Convention Center.
Among speakers at the 1:30 p.m. seminar Saturday, March 1, will be H. W. "Kip" Butts, senior analyst for Informa Economics at Memphis, and Tommy Foltz, president of Foltz Company at Little Rock.
"Kip Butts has seen firsthand the impact of energy on crop competitiveness, from production through processing and to the final destination, including the critical importance of transportation linkages and costs," says Tim Price, executive vice president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association and Foundation, which sponsors the annual event. "Tommy Foltz is a 15-year veteran of the alternative energy industry, with perspectives ranging from government to private business. The cost of energy is something that affects every farm operation, and everyone should plan to attend this informative seminar," Price says.
Representatives from government, research, energy, and the farm sector have been invited to participate.
This year's show, which is co-sponsored by Delta Farm Press, will feature approximately 400 exhibitors from 48 states and five foreign countries and will occupy over 200,000 square feet of exhibit space in the convention center.
Two exhibits of prime interest to cotton producers will be the new pickers with on-board module builders from Case IH and John Deere. "This will be a great opportunity for producers to see firsthand what all the talk has been about for the past five years or so," Price says. "The development of these new machines reflects the vision and confidence these companies have in the future of the cotton industry."
The show is a perennial "must-attend" for farmers, ginners, and others, with more than 20,000 decision-makers coming each year. "It's a tradition," he says. "We're excited about the number of new products — both from traditional exhibitors and those who are new to the show," Price says.
Also of major interest at this year's show, he notes, will be the newest precision ag technologies, new chemistries, seed, and a host of other products and services. "Biotechnology continues to have a major impact on our industry, as will be reflected in all the exhibits related to crop seeds, agrichemicals, and all the related products and services," he says.
The show's popular Ag Update Seminars, to be held Friday and Saturday mornings at 8:30, will focus on the outlook for crops and legislation. Already slated to speak at the Friday session are Carl Brothers, senior vice president of Riceland Foods, and Joe Nicosia, chief executive officer of Allenberg Cotton Co., and Larry McClellan, incoming chairman of the National Cotton Council.
Richard Brock, president, Brock Associates, will conduct his popular grain marketing outlook seminar Saturday morning, offering strategies and projections for 2008. Brock will also discuss agriculture issues and bio-energy.
Exhibit areas at the show will be open Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Winter storm blankets Great Plains with snow

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Blinding snow, at times accompanied by
thunder and lightning, bombarded much of the nation's midsection Thursday,
causing whiteout conditions, shutting down large swaths of interstate
highways and forcing schools, businesses and even state legislatures to
Kansas was the
epicenter of the winter storm, with parts of the state buried under 14
inches of powdery snow, but winter storm warnings stretched from eastern
Colorado through Illinois. Freezing rain and sleet were forecast for
southern Missouri, southern Illinois and Arkansas. St. Louis received all
of the above — a treacherous mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.

accidents. Most schools in Kansas and Missouri, and many in neighboring
states, were closed. Legislatures shut down in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas,
Nebraska and Iowa.

National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Truett said is the result of
an unstable air mass, much like a thunderstorm.
"Instead of
pouring rain, it's pouring snow," Truett said. And pouring was a sound
description, with snow falling at a rate of 1 1/2 to 2 inches per hour in
some spots. Kansas City, Mo., got 5 inches in two hours.
Snow totals
passed the foot mark in many places: Monarch Pass, Colo., had 17 ½ inches,
Hutchinson, Kan., 14 inches and Wichita, Kan., 13 inches. The National
Weather Service said up to 18 inches of snow were possible in central
With that in
mind, Kansas transportation officials — and even the governor — urged
people to simply stay home.
Drivers were
particularly warned away from the Kansas Turnpike, which had whiteout
conditions. Interstate 70 was also snow-packed and a 90-mile stretch of
that road was closed between Salina and Hays.
Kansas Gov.
Sam Brownback closed executive offices, except for essential personnel.

Lodge in WaKeeney, Kan., assistant manager Michael Tidball said the
48-room hotel was full by 10 p.m. Wednesday and that most guests were
opting to stay an extra day.
Just south of
Wichita, near the small community of Clearwater, Scott Van Allen had
already shoveled the sidewalks Thursday and was out on his tractor
clearing the driveway of the 10 inches of snow — just in case he might
need to go out. For once, he didn't mind the task.
"I kind of
enjoyed it this time," he said. "We were certainly needing the moisture

brought moisture to a region of the country that has been parched for
nearly a year, engulfed in the worst drought in decades. Climatologists
say 12 inches of snow is equivalent to about 1 inch of rain, depending on
the density of the snow.
Vance Ehmke, a
wheat farmer near Healy, Kan., said the nearly foot of snow was "what we
have been praying for."
"The big
question is, 'Is the drought broke?' " Ehmke asked. "We desperately need
Edwardsville, Ill., wheat farmer Mike Campbell called the snow — or any
precipitation — a blessing after a bone-dry growing season in 2012. He
hopes it is a good omen as he prepares to plant corn this spring.
"The corn was
just a disaster," Campbell said.
In Colorado,
the U.S. Forest Service planned to take advantage
of the snow to burn piles of dead trees on federal land.
Near the
Nebraska-Kansas border, as much as 8 inches fell overnight, while western
Nebraska saw about half of that amount, National Weather Service
forecaster Shawn Jacobs said.
Areas in
western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle also had up to 8 inches of snow

Woodward, Okla., got stuck on her drive into work. But business in the
western Oklahoma town was brisk, she said.

"I'm extremely busy right now."
Arkansas saw a mix of precipitation — in places, a combination of hail,
sleet and freezing rain, others saw 6 inches of snow. Forecasters warned
northern Arkansas could get a half-inch of ice.
Two fatal
accidents were attributed to winter weather on Wednesday. In Oklahoma,
18-year-old Cody Alexander of Alex, Okla., died when his pickup truck
skidded on a slushy state highway into oncoming traffic and struck a
truck. And in Nebraska, 19-year-old Kristina Leigh Anne Allen of Callaway
died when a SUV lost control in snowy, icy conditions, crossed the median
and struck her car.
Missouri Gov.
Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency Thursday morning and activated the
State Emergency Operations Center. By midmorning Thursday, the snow was
coming down so hard that Kansas City International Airport shut down. More
than 200 flights were also canceled by Thursday afternoon at Lambert
Airport in St. Louis.
Alex Sosnowski,
a meteorologist for Accuweather, said the storm will push off into the
Great Lakes and central Appalachians, and freezing rain could make it as
far east and south as North Carolina. He also said a "spin-off" storm was
expected to create heavy snow in New England, and could push Boston to a
February record.

U.S. Travel Restrictions on Sex Workers Inhibit Effective HIV/AIDS Response
July 20, 2012
"[D]isappointingly, one group that will be absent [from the XIX International AIDS Conference next week] due to U.S. travel restrictions is sex workers," a Lancet editorial states. "Sex workers have been extremely neglected as a population in the global response to HIV/AIDS, despite their substantially heightened risk of HIV infection and propensity to transmit new infections into general populations," the editorial continues, adding, "Yet global funding allocations have been inadequate or restricted policies have been applied, such as the U.S. anti-prostitution pledge, which has greatly limited research and the response to HIV in sex workers. Furthermore, the conflation of sex work with human trafficking, and the disregard of sex work as work, has meant that sex workers' rights have not been properly recognized."
"Discriminatory laws and policies, stigma, violence, and social exclusion all impede efforts to reach sex workers and their clients with effective HIV prevention, treatment, care, and support programs," the Lancet states, adding that "adults engaged in consensual sex work have the same rights as other individuals." The editorial notes that "Kolkata, India, will host an alternative event aptly named the Sex Worker Freedom Festival, which, after much negotiation, will be digitally and video-linked to the IAC," and concludes, "Restricting participation of sex workers in the U.S. meeting shamefully prohibits an effective response to the global HIV epidemic for sex workers, and all those at risk of infection" (7/21).

The Ole Miss softball team won all five games and outscored its opponents 20-5 this weekend at the Red and Blue Classic at the Ole Miss Softball Complex. The Rebels shut out Bowling Green, Buffalo and Northern Colorado in the first three games of the tournament and then closed the tournament with wins over Saint Louis and Tennessee Martin.
"All in all, the pitching staff did a really good job this weekend, pitching into the defense and getting a lot of strikeouts," head coach Windy Thees said. "RT (Cantillo) continues to hit over .500, and Haley Culley made some outstanding defensive plays all weekend."
Ole Miss hit .325 and scored 20 runs on 40 hits for the weekend. The Rebels' two leading hitters, senior outfielder RT Cantillo and junior third baseman Allison Brown, continued to swing the bat well.
Cantillo had a hit in each of the five games, which included a 3-for-4 game against Northern Colorado. Brown went 5-for-16 for the weekend, highlighted by a two-RBI single in a 2-0 win over Northern Colorado. Culley also had a stellar weekend at the plate, going 7-for-16 for the weekend with three multi-hit games.
On the mound, Ole Miss posted more strikeouts (32) than hits allowed (25) for the weekend. The Rebels used five pitchers and allowed just five runs -- four earned -- on 25 hits with 12 walks and 32 strikeouts over 34 innings of work.
Senior right-hander Shelby Jo Fenter won a pair of games, as she allowed just two runs on nine hits with seven walks and 14 strikeouts, which included 6.2 scoreless innings against Bowling Green. Fellow senior right-hander Carly Hummel earned a win and two saves in eight scoreless innings for the weekend, highlighted a complete game shutout against Buffalo.
"It's a lot of fun to pitch with a staff this year," Thees said. "All of our kids are super talented. They do a good job of attacking the strike zone. They have some nasty stuff and are very different. For me, it's kind of fun to go to somebody else who may be different than the person who started on the mound, and we did that a lot this weekend."
With a doubleheader sweep at Southern Miss followed by a five-game sweep at the Red and Blue Classic, the Rebels have won seven in a row and improve to 11-6 on the season. Their current seven-game winning streak is two shy of equaling the longest winning streak in program history, which they tied a season ago.
"We're still growing," Thees said. "We're still trying to figure some things out. There are still some consistency issues at the place. I would like our hitter to be better at swinging at their pitches early in the count. We're getting there. I saw more of that this weekend."

Ever wish you had a different neighbor? Well, what about a neighbor like one if these neighbors… the ten best in TV history
10. Larry Dallas – (Three's Company) – Jack Tripper's womanizing best friend. The best sleazy neighbor in history.
9. Richard "Boner" Stabone (Growing Pains) – Mike Seavor's (Kirk Cameron) friend, neighbor and owner of the greatest nickname in family friendly sitcom history.
8. Barney Rubble (The Flintstones) – The diminutive blonde-haired caveman husband of Betty Rubble and father of Bamm-Bamm Rubble. He's Fred Flinstone's best friend and who doesn't want to live next their best friend?
7. Urkel (Family Matters) – Steve was the epitome of a geek/nerd, with large, thick eyeglasses, "high-water" or "flood" pants held up by suspenders, multi-colored cardigan sweaters, and a high-pitched voice. He professed unrequited love for neighbor Laura Winslow, perpetually annoyed her father, Carl, and tried to befriend her brother, Eddie. He was annoying, but certainly his heart was always in the right place.
6. Wilson Wilson (Home Improvement) – Who cares if you can't see his face…ever. Tim's neighbor and confidant. As a child, his parents did not allow him to speak to his neighbors, so he really likes talking to Tim and Jill. Wilson serves as an all-wise sage in the show, doling out advice to the Taylor family and seemingly knowing just what to say to solve a problem. He has traveled the globe and learned much from virtually every culture in existence. He has a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies, studying "extinct languages and forgotten cultures".
5. Winnie Cooper (The Wonder Years) – Kevin Arnold's main love interest. In an episode entitled "The Accident" and in the final episode, it is stated that every important event in Kevin's life somehow involves Winnie. She lives on the same block as Kevin. She is the very definition of the "girl next door."
4. Kramer (Seinfeld) – with his upright hairstyle and vintage wardrobe, the combination of which led to his categorization as a "hipster doofus"; his taste in fruit; his love of occasional smoking, Cuban cigars in particular; his energetic bursts through Jerry's apartment door; frequent pratfalls and his penchant for nonsensical, percussive outbursts of noise to indicate skepticism, agreement, annoyance, and a variety of other inexplicable responses. Kramer is the best wacky neighbor in television history.
3. Ethel (I Love Lucy) – Ethel was Lucy's landlady, and Ethel and Lucy were always scheming though Ethel generally provided the voice of reason as a counterpart to Lucy's more hairbrained ideas. Still, she was the number one person she got in trouble with.
2. Ned Flanders (The Simpsons) – The long suffering neighbor to the Simpson family and Ned generally loathed by Homer Simpson. A devout Christian, he is amongst the friendliest and most compassionate Springfield citizens and is generally considered a pillar of the Springfield community. He may speak in an annoying rhyming pitter patter, but he's the ultimate in turning the other cheek…especially when it comes to Homer Simpson.
1. Mr. Rogers (Mr. Roger's Neighborhood) – Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was characterized by its quiet simplicity and gentleness. Episodes did not have a plot, and consisted of Rogers speaking directly to the viewer about various issues, taking the viewer on tours of factories, demonstrating experiments, crafts, and music, and interacting with his friends. He is the ultimate neighbor and easily the best neighbor in television history.

Terry set to line up at Arsenal
John Terry is set to be available for Chelsea's match at Arsenal on Saturday despite being handed a four-match ban for racially abusing QPR's Anton Ferdinand.
The Chelsea skipper had denied the charge but an FA independent regulatory commission ruled on Thursday that he was guilty of misconduct during the Barclays Premier League defeat at QPR on October 23 last year. He was also fined £220,000, reported to be just over a week's wages.
Terry, 31, should be available for Chelsea on Saturday, though, because his ban is suspended until after the appeals process has been concluded.
The defender has 14 days from the receipt of the written reasons for the decision, and if he does appeal then that hearing may not take place until the end of next month.
That could see the Chelsea captain still being available for the club's other Barclays Premier League matches in October against Norwich, Tottenham and Manchester United.
Meanwhile, questions have been asked why the ban imposed was only half the length of Liverpool's Luis Suarez, who served an eight-match suspension for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
The written reasons will provide the explanation for the difference in length of ban compared to Suarez and the most likely outcome is that Terry only said the insult once, while Suarez was judged by his panel to have called Evra "negro" up to seven times. Suarez was also fined around a week's wages - in his case £40,000.
Senior figures in football's anti-racism movements have privately queried where there should be a difference, but are unlikely to speak publicly until the appeals process is completed.
Joey Barton has also criticised the decision as "a shambles" compared to his own 12-game ban for violent conduct. The midfielder, now with Marseille, said on Twitter: "What an absolute farce. 12 games for violent conduct and only 4 for that. FA should be embarrassed #shambles."
However, Jose Mourinho, Stamford Bridge manager between 2004 and 2007, told CNN: "He's not a racist - that's 100 per cent. We had a squad where we had 12 African players in the squad. It was a fantastic squad and he always had a great relationship with every one of them."

Anytime a person chooses to have sexual intercourse with another person for the sole purpose of getting that person through an awkward or sad moment. Typically there is no actual interest romantically in that person, but the idea of engaging in intercourse is not horrifying and almost a bit sporty. The giver goes through the motions of actual romance without any actual feelings.
Sally felt bad for Jim during his visit after the loss of his girlfriend several weeks earlier, and while nothing she tried that afternoon could snap him out of his sadness, she decided to give him a pity-fuck which would show him that happiness could be found again.

Hello to all! My name is Mark Koussa and for many years I have wanted to go abroad and I am proud to say that I am finally living la dolce vita in Perugia, Italy.
While the decision is not easy to set out on a journey like this, the staff at the Umbra Institute did a phenomenal job welcoming us to this beautiful country. Upon arrival in Rome, members of Umbra student services greeted us at the airport and brought us to Perugia. After a delicious welcome dinner, we were shown our "university" housing – fully furnished Italian apartments! The duration of the first week, was spent in intensive Italian language and culture class; learning everything from basic conversation to how to order at the local deli and then physically going to all types of shops and stores to practice! If you choose to come to Umbra you certainly will feel incredibly adjusted to your new home by the end.
Have no fear of coming abroad-may it be culture shock or leaving home, the Umbra Institute will be there to help you along and set you up for the best semester of your life!

Better! magazine
beter! magazine is self-described "A.D.D induced rants,comics,doodles,essays,and art on the the terrors of high school life in a small town,pop culture,the underground music scene and pro-wrestling". better! magazine originally started as project in the summer of 2006 by New Baltimore, Michigan locals Cee.Jacob.Cee and Salvador M.

Consider Possibilities For Your First Job
What else should new grads expecting out of nursing school?
Beth Anderson, RN
So what can you do to make your transition from nursing student to working nurse easier and your first years on the job more satisfying? Here are some issues to ask about and consider before and after taking the job.
Ask About First-Year Nurse Turnover Rates
High turnovers indicate how the employer treats first-year nurses, Benner says. Turnovers higher than 20 percent are generally considered high in the industry.

Find Out About Orientation and Preceptor Programs
A preceptor is a teacher and coach who helps nurses become oriented and familiar with a facility's routines, procedures and people, says Patricia Hooper Kyriakidis, RN, MSN, Ph.D., a nurse consultant and researcher and president of Practice Solutions, a Hendersonville, Tennessee-based health care consultancy. New nurses are more likely to stay if they have an experienced and helpful preceptor. That's why you should ask, "Will a preceptor be available on my shift after the orientation to answer questions and help with clinical decision making?"
Inquire About Support
Query the nurse manager about the level of clinical, social and emotional support available for new nurses. This support includes having experienced nurses on hand to help debrief a new nurse once he experiences a tragedy at work, such as a death. That debriefing must happen the day the event occurs, not a week later, Kyriakidis says.
Observe the Unit
Simply touring the unit won't give you a good idea of how people work together, Kyriakidis says. Because it takes a while for people to let their guard down when someone is watching, make sure you observe for a few hours so you get a clearer picture of the unit's interpersonal dynamics.
Consider Working on a Specialty Unit First
Benner says her research on first-year nursing indicates that it's actually easier for many new nurses to start on a specialty unit, such as labor and delivery or a highly staffed pediatrics unit, because the patients on those units are more homogeneous than those on a medical/surgical unit.
"If you take a position on a general medical/surgical unit, the range of patients is quite broad," Benner say. "If you work on intensive-care or coronary-care units, you will have more of a controlled patient population."
Get Your Feet Wet
That's what first-year nurse Girish Dang, RN, a psychiatric nurse at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital's inpatient psych unit, did. While he was getting his ADN at North Shore Community College in Massachusetts, Dang worked on the hospital's psych unit as a psychiatric counselor. He credits that experience with helping him hit the ground running when he began working as a nurse on the unit, because he was already familiar with the culture and knew whom he could lean on for help.
The same can't be said for all of his nursing school classmates. Dang says he knows of several fellow graduates who, lacking prior experience with their employers and insight about the staff and working environment, left their first nursing jobs within six months.
"In my opinion, 90 percent of the things in the job are learned not in nursing school but in the job itself," Dang says.

Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Mike Thompson, D-Calif., have reintroduced legislation that would establish pilot projects to test and support primary care training models in four community-based settings.
The bipartisan bill, known as the Primary Care Workforce Access Improvement Act of 2013(www.govtrack.us), would establish pilot projects to allow a portion of graduate medical education (GME) payments to go directly to community-based primary care residency programs. Those programs then would collaborate with local hospitals to provide necessary training in inpatient care.
Medicare GME funding currently is funneled solely through hospitals. But that model does not compensate for many of the costs of training in nonhospital settings, which is where most primary care services are provided and where primary care residents need to spend the bulk of their training time, according to AAFP Board Chair Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash.
More than 90 percent of care delivered by primary care physicians is provided in the community, and the vast majority of patients receive care in community settings. As a consequence, a significant portion of primary care training should occur in community settings, said Stream.
He also pointed out that funding for physician training directly influences the type of physicians that are produced. The current system, according to Stream, does not foster the production of primary care physicians.
"Discussions about reforming our health system frequently focus on better aligning payment to promote quality and efficiency," said Stream. "GME funding and its effect on our physician workforce is very similar. This bill will align GME funding to promote production of the strong primary care workforce our country needs."
The legislation would establish a five-year pilot to test four models whose principle mission is the education and training of primary care physicians. The models identified for testing are
- a community entity working with two or more hospitals,
- two hospitals working together to develop a primary care program,
- a hospital subsidiary or independent corporation working with the community to further primary care, and
- a medical school or university collaborating with a hospital.
"As we continue to address the disparities in rural health care, one issue stands out: the shortage of primary care physicians," said McMorris Rodgers in a prepared statement(mcmorris.house.gov). "Our legislation encourages residents to train in rural areas, like eastern Washington. Once they complete residency, doctors usually stay in the area where they train, so our legislation is a vital first step to improving access to primary care in rural areas."

By the early 1990s, a significant deferred-maintenance backlog, aging infrastructure, and limited budget had forced Eastern Illinois University (EIU) in Charleston, Ill., into a run-until-it-fails mentality resulting in unreliable systems and a perception of poor customer service. With state funding for major capital projects severely limited, creative approaches to facility and infrastructure improvements were needed.
In 1995, Gov. Jim Edgar created a pilot program allowing building upgrades to be financed through guaranteed energy savings. EIU agreed to take part in the initiative.
Today, EIU is a model of energy efficiency, with the lowest energy cost per square foot among public universities in Illinois. EIU did not earn that distinction overnight. The success of the energy-conservation measures initiated under the pilot program convinced officials to move aggressively with further retrofits.
The first two phases of work began in 2000 and touched nearly every corner of the 320-acre campus. EIU worked with Honeywell to implement the improvements—an array of upgrades designed to drive campuswide energy efficiency and improve comfort. The upgrades included new high-efficiency lighting systems, water retrofits in dozens of buildings, five variable-vane electricity-driven chillers to replace seven 30-year-old steam absorption units, and modifications to chilled-water piping and controls.
The upgrades also included expansion of the university's building-automation system: Advanced control strategies intended to make the university's chilled-water loops and air-handling systems even more efficient were implemented, and a Web-based interface allowing EIU personnel to monitor and adjust building systems remotely, outside of normal business hours, was commissioned.
Energy and environmental savings from the first two phases of retrofits have been significant. As of September 2010, from a combined $13.4 million investment, EIU had cut a total of nearly $13 million in energy and operating costs, saved 50 million kwh of electricity, and avoided pumping 430 million lb of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In total, the reduction in greenhouse gases is equivalent to removing more than 18,400 cars from the road for a year.
EIU and Honeywell expanded the relationship in 2009 with a $79 million program combining energy-efficient facility upgrades with one of the largest biomass-fueled heating plants on a university campus. The program will put the school in position to save approximately $140 million in additional costs over the next two decades. EIU is utilizing those savings to fund implementation of the program through a 20-year performance contract.
Two large biomass gasifiers will drive the new heating plant, which EIU named the Renewable Energy Center (REC), when it goes online in 2011. The project is the first application of gasification technology in the region and will replace the university's existing steam plant, which consumes more than 10,000 tons of coal per year and requires constant maintenance because of age and obsolescence.
In the biomass-gasification process, wood chips are heated in an oxygen-deprived chamber until they break down to create a synthetic gas that burns similarly to natural gas. The gas is used to fire the boilers and provide a carbon-neutral solution for heating the university's facilities.
Honeywell will install a steam-driven turbine that uses excess steam to produce electricity. The turbine is expected to generate more than 2.9 million kwh of electricity per year, reducing the amount of energy the university will need to purchase from the electrical grid.
Despite being a heat- and power-generating plant, the REC blends seamlessly with the aesthetics and complements the style of the university's other buildings.
EIU will incorporate the REC and its sustainable-energy concepts into its curriculum beginning in fall 2011. Additionally, the university has identified several research opportunities in the area of advanced biomass fuels.
Also under the latest program, a significant number of mechanical systems on campus were retrocommissioned to ensure efficient operation, and a new higher-voltage switchyard was built to consolidate two intake points for electricity, raise the metering voltage, and lower utility delivery rates under revised tariff billing.
Through the first nine months of 2010, total campus electricity and steam use was down 14 percent from the previous year. The program is expected to reduce electricity consumption by an estimated 6.2 million kwh per year—enough energy to power more than 580 homes.
Successfully undertaking such a broad range of improvements and addressing so many deferred-maintenance issues would have seemed impossible during the early 1990s. A commitment to conservation and access to the right financing tools have made EIU a higher-education leader in energy efficiency and green technologies.
