“I want those workers to be as safe as those shrimp” – What we still don’t know about Deepwater Horizon response …
by Elizabeth Grossman “I want this seafood to be safe. But I want those workers to be as safe as those shrimp and I’m not just going for funny one-liner,” said Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) at the conclusion of the July 15th Senate Appropriations Committee’s Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies subcommittee hearing on the use of chemical oil dispersants in the Gulf. “One might say …

    Dozens of municipalities still have not provided date; they could be fined.
    The state launched a website Monday on which Californians can see how much money cities and counties pay their workers, but dozens of municipalities have failed to file the information and could face fines of up to $5,000 unless they comply.

    I bet a lot of people were probably thinking it, all it takes is for someone to say it, fire up those grills all year! An indoor oven just can’t compete with BBQ when it comes to flavor. So if you’re missing that BBQ taste in January, you know what to do!

    The part of the orbit is 2t/360 where t is the angle given by cos t=R/R+h. R is the radius of the Earth, h the height.
    So cos t = 6,378.5/6,978.5=0.914 => t=24 degree => part of orbit 48/360 = 0.1333

    The total length of the orbit can be found from Kepler's third law and is 96 minutes. So each orbit Hubble is 12.8 min above the horizon.

    Born in 1592 in Pepergia, Dutch Republic – he was the last Dutch governor of New York, or New Amsterdam, as it was called at the time – served in the West Indies as governor of one of the islands and was appointed in 1647 by the Dutch West India Company as governor of their colony of New Amsterdam – his despotic character and blunt manners, together with his efforts to reform, won him enemies – he tried to regulate the sale of liquor and forbade it be sold to the Indians – he attempted to regulate the fur trade to give New Amsterdam a monopoly and as a result smuggling became prevalent – he punished those who would not conform to the Dutch Reformed Church and refused to allow the people a share in the government – in 1644 when war arose between England and Holland, and English warships appeared in New York harbor, the people refused to resist and Stuyvesant was forced to surrender the town to the English resulting in New Amsterdam becoming New York – Stuyvesant then returned to Holland – the Dutch West India Company blamed him for their misfortunes in the New World and he returned to America where he spent the rest of his life on his farm called “Bouwerie” in Dutch – on the site of this farm now runs the street called the “Bowery” on the lower east side of New York – he died in 1672 and was buried in a vault in St. Mark’s Church in New York City -

    No. Unless you understand the thermodynamics of the reaction — or measure the temp. change of the reaction mixture using an adiabatic vessel (one that will not let heat out of the vessel to the surroundings). A bomb calorimeter is usually used to do this in intro Chemistry classes. If the temperature increases under adiabatic conditions, the process is exothermic and the change in heat (dQ) is negative. (dQ < 0). It's endothermic if the opposite occurs (dQ > 0, temp. decreases). Under constant pressure, the direction of enthalpy change (dH) determines a endothermic vs exothermic process and if dH < 0, it's exothermic, if dH > 0, it's endothermic. Under constant volume, the change in internal energy (dU) determines endo- vs. exothermic — if dU < 0 it's exothermic (releases heat into surroundings), if dU > 0 its endothermic (absorbs heat) but only at constant volume.

    Taking her high-energy act to South America, Rihanna performed a thrilling show in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Saturday night (September 17).

    The Barbadian beauty took the stage at Arena Skol, as she tweeted prior to showtime, “SAO PAULO LET’S DO THISSSS!!! #LOUDtourBRAZIL”

    Treating concertgoers to a full range of hits including “Disturbia” and “Only Girl In the World,” the 23-year-old graciously wrote upon her performance’s conclusion, “SAO PAULO I love you! I will definitely be back!!!”

    The concert comes just days after Rihanna announced plans to release a new studio album this fall, as she tweeted in response to a question about her next disc’s due date, “”THIS FALL!!!!!”

    Of the offering, producer Verse Simmonds told MTV, “From what I understand, she’s closing the album up now, and we did two records for her that she really, really loved, and I’m really excited about them as well. They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts.”

Manny Ramirez — Florida Mansion Targeted by Former Workers Nov 21st 2011, 23:00 Filed under: Manny Ramirez, TMZ Sports, Celebrity Justice Manny Ramirez allegedly whiffed bigtime when it came to paying the people who tricked out the yard at his Florida mansion … and now THREE companies have each obtained liens against the place in an effort to get paid. TMZ has obtained official records, which show Manny and his wife owe more than $20,000 in back pay to three different home improvement companies that worked on Manny’s pool cabana, outdoor landscaping and more. All three companies — which claim they worked on the house this past year — have obtained liens in Florida … which means, if Manny doesn’t pay up, they could force the former MLB star to sell the house to repay the debt. Calls to Manny’s lawyer have not been returned. Permalink…

    3 Foods That Cause Disease

    Hydrogenated Oil

    What is hydrogenated oil? Hydrogenated oil is oil that has been cooked at a high heat to make it last longer on the shelf. It is used in factories to make packaged food products like cookies, crackers, cakes, pastries, donuts, and potato chips. The best way to stay healthy is to STOP eating packaged food products that are made with hydrogenated oils.

    Many of the fast food establishments and other restaurants deep-fry certain foods with hydrogenated oils. Such foods are french fries chicken nuggets, chicken strips, chicken, shrimp, donuts, oysters, clams, and fish. Both margarine and Crisco are VERY hydrogenated and are terrible for your health. The more solid the oil is, the more hydrogenated it is. When hydrogenated oil gets hot it liquefies. Always choose butter over margarine and never use Crisco.

    Good oils are good for your health because they are natural. Good oils come from food products like coconut oil from the coconut tree, Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil from the first pressing of the olive from the olive tree, nut oils extracted from nuts and seeds, and expeller pressed safflower oil from the safflower plant. When cooking and baking only use these oils and never reuse oil for deep-frying.

    Refined Sugar

    Refined sugar goes through an involved process, which virtually turns a natural sugar product into something toxic. Refined sugar originates from the cane or the beet. Factories take out all the vitamins and all the minerals to make a white crystalline substance called sugar. Manufacturers then label it as being PURE in big bold letters. But it is far from being pure – it is one of the most toxic substances known to man. P is for plastic. U is for ulcer. R is for rotten. And E is for Enemy. That spells P.U.R.E Sugar.

    Sugar is highly addictive and many people are addicted to it and don’t even know it. A physical addiction to sugar can show up in a condition they call alcoholism or diabetes, and allergies. Children and teenagers love sugar – they gulp it down with each soda pop they drink and gobble it up with almost every packaged product they eat – from loaf breads to peanut butter, and from pop tarts to breakfast cereals. The lists of refined sugar-laden foods go on and on and on and on…

    Bottom line? Refined sugar is not a natural food and that is why our body begins to reject it in the form of illness. The good news is there are several forms of natural sugar substitutes, such as maple syrup from the maple tree, raw honey from the beehive, and Stevia sugar from the Stevia plant that will NOT cause health issues. Stevia is even safe for diabetics to use. Here is a good resource to find out all about Stevia sweetener from South America. – stevia.com

    Refined Flour

    Refined flour or better known as “all-purposed bleached flour” is not a natural food product. The beautiful whole wheat berry, where flour originates, has been stripped of all its life giving nutrients to make an incomplete food called white flour. Whole grains such as whole wheat flour still have all of the vital, life-giving nutrients left in it. Anytime we eat the whole food vs. the incomplete food we are providing our bodies a wonderful service because we are literally feeding it valuable food.

    Whole grains undoubtedly contribute to better health, and help protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. The fiber content in eating whole wheat products helps to rid toxic buildup through proper elimination. Substantial scientific evidence indicates that whole wheat products reduce cancer risk.

    Young healthy bodies may not notice how white wheat products affect them – it may take twenty or thirty years for your body to begin to reject a poor daily diet but it will happen – that’s a fact. After ten, twenty, thirty years of eating white wheat, hydrogenated oils and refined sugar products your body will begin to reject more and more food in the form of common illnesses introduced today in the doctors office. You may have allergies, constant fatigue, IBS, obesity, boils, constipation, diarrhea, gluten intolerance syndrome, diabetes, hypoglycemia, clogged arteries, etcetera, etcetera.

    But I have more good news for you. Your body can be well again! But you have to stop eating refined packaged food products. There are so many different ways you can prepare whole wheat flour products. From donuts and bagels to heart-healthy waffles and pancakes to dumplings for chicken soup. You will notice a substantial difference in the way you feel and look just by changing over from a white wheat diet to a whole wheat diet. The benefits of eating whole wheat and other whole grains will provide you with a longer, healthier life!

    I love sugar but sugar hates me! That’s why I wrote the book Sugar Overload Syndrome: This book covers health issues such as ADHD, bipolar, hypoglycemia, alcoholism, depression and more. Provides simple, proven techniques incorporating a whole foods diet, cleansing, sprouting, juicing, exercise and herbs to treat illness.

    We generalize Penrose’s notion of conformal infinity of spacetime, to situations with anisotropic scaling. This is relevant not only for Lifshitz-type anisotropic gravity models, but also in standard general relativity and string theory, for spacetimes exhibiting a natural asymptotic anisotropy. Examples include the Lifshitz and Schrodinger spaces (proposed as AdS/CFT duals of nonrelativistic field theories), warped AdS_3, and the near-horizon extreme Kerr geometry. The anisotropic conformal boundary appears crucial for resolving puzzles of holographic renormalization in such spacetimes.
