Much like yourself, I am tired of this endless housing search. I would love to live in a cool and fun place near the Caltrain, but no one seems to be renting a room. So I figured, "hey, why don't I just find another girl who wants to live in the same area and we can get a place on our own?" This is where you come in: if you are a working professional female in her 20s that wants to share a place in a nice apartment complex in South Beach, we should live together! A little about me: I just graduated college and moved to the Bay Area two months ago, am mid-twenties, and work in a law firm in Menlo Park. Things I like to do: run, cycle, tri-athlons, read books, hike, walk, eat Italian food, play tennis, go to movies, stay in and watch movies, eat quesadillas (I'll even make you one!), watch Lost/Office/Friends, etc... Things I like: wine, philosophy, U2, coffee, politics, photography, scarves, squishy beds, eating out You: You are a professional female in her twenties that wants to be friends with her roommate and not just share the rent...not BBFs or anything, but at least be able to grab dinner or drinks with each other. The place: I would love to live any of those big apartment complexes (i.e. Avalon, Archstone, Bayview, etc...) but since the cost is so high we would share a one-bedroom (either share the bedroom or convert part of the living room). There are a few available units in both of those places that have rather large square footage and ample closet space for two girls. After splitting the rent, the cost of your half would be arond $1200. However, if there are enough people that are interested in this, we could have a three-bedroom place and not share rooms! (and keep the cost around $1200) Interested? I would love to hear from you in an email that describes yourself and your interests/hobbies! Bonnie Sfbay.Craigslist.Org Look for a place with me!

Dalton, considered the father of modern atomic theory, made a logbook entry that day titled, "Observations on the Ultimate Particles of Bodies and their Combinations." It was the first use of symbols to represent the elements of modern chemistry. He soon had a table of 21 elements arranged by atomic mass, which he presented in a scientific paper the following month. Eventually, he had 36 different symbols. In his 1805 work, "A New System of Chemical Philosophy," Dalton propounded the tenets of his atomic theory: The chemical elements are made of atoms. The atoms of an element are identical in mass. Atoms of different elements have different masses. Atoms combine only in small, whole-number ratios like 1:1, 1:2, 2:3, etc. Atoms can not be created or destroyed. Dalton's symbols were not the ones we use today, but circles containing distinct symbols (a dot for hydrogen, a cross for sulfur), or circles containing letters (C for copper, L for lead). He used them singly to represent elements and in combination to show compounds. A decade after Dalton formulated his symbols, Swedish chemist Jöns Jakob Berzelius simplified the system. Half of Dalton's symbols used letters inside a circle to represent the element. Berzelius organized 47 elements with letters alone, and he based those letters not primarily on the English names, but on the Latin ones. In an era when all Europe's learned men (and the few women who were allowed into schools and universities) knew Latin, the shared language was an international lingua franca. All but a handful of Berzelius' symbols are still used today. So it's Au for gold and Ag for silver, not the circled G and S of Dalton's original notation. The simplified notation led the way for English analytical chemist John Newlands to formulate his Law of Octaves and a prototype periodic table of the elements in 1864, but it was Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev who really laid it all on the table with 63 elements in 1869. When he flipped his chart to a horizontal table two years later, he created a form much like what you see in chemistry textbooks and on the walls of chem labs today. Alas, Mendeleev's table was based on atomic mass rather than atomic number, so details like the placement of tellurium and iodine didn't work out. He thought it was a question of inaccurate measurement or other experimental error. It was 1913 before English physicist Henry Moseley reorganized the periodic table by atomic number. As for Dalton, his name lives on as alternate designation for the atomic mass unit or amu. Microbiologists and biochemists need a convenient measure for large organic molecules. Kilo-u or kilo-amu would be awkward, so a protein molecule might be said to have a mass of 35 kilodaltons, or kDA. But it's Berzelius' symbols and what they mean that plague first-year chem students: You've got to "get it" before you can do anything else.

]]> News > Breaking News {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - Ignoring evidence to the contrary, NY Times' Brooks claims Palin made "mortal enem[y]" of Stevens http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/ignoring-evidence-to-the-contrary-ny-times-brooks-2008092908.htm http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/ignoring-evidence-to-the-contrary-ny-times-brooks-2008092908.htm Wed, 03 Sep 2008 02:24:50 GMT In his September 2 New York Times column, David Brooks wrote that Gov. Sarah Palin is "a woman who risked her career taking on the corrupt Republican establishment in her own state, who twice defeated the oil companies, who made mortal enemies of the two people [Sen. John] McCain has always held up as the carriers of the pork-barrel disease: [Rep. Don] Young [R-AK] and [Sen. Ted] Stevens [R-AK]." Brooks' characterization of Palin and Stevens as "mortal enemies" is undermined by substantial evidence. For example, in a July joint press conference, while Stevens acknowledged "comments made [by Palin] about my earmarks" and "the [federal corruption] investigation," Stevens said he has "never known of any animosity between" them; similarly, Palin said she had "great respect" for Stevens. Further, Palin previously served as co-director of a 527 organization bearing Stevens' name; Palin ran advertisements during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign that featured Stevens endorsing her; while Palin was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, she reportedly hired a lobbying firm to secure earmarks for the town, and the account was handled by Stevens' former chief of staff; Stevens has endorsed her 2008 vice-presidential bid; and Stevens' campaign website contains several pictures of Palin with Stevens. Brooks wrote: When McCain met Sarah Palin last February, he was meeting the rarest of creatures, an American politician who sees the world as he does. Like McCain, Palin does not seem to have an explicit governing philosophy. Her background is socially conservative, but she has not pushed that as governor of Alaska. She seems to find it easier to work with liberal Democrats than the mandarins in her own party. Instead, she seems to get up in the morning to root out corruption. McCain was meeting a woman who risked her career taking on the corrupt Republican establishment in her own state, who twice defeated the oil companies, who made mortal enemies of the two people McCain has always held up as the carriers of the pork-barrel disease: Young and Stevens. However, Brooks ignored several facts about the relationship between Palin and Stevens. "Great respect" for Stevens During a July 2 joint press conference about Stevens' energy plan, Palin and Stevens were asked about a possible "rift between" them. Stevens said during his response: "I've never known of any animosity between the two of us at all. We are each free to make comments about what the other does and every once in a while she'll say I'm stupid and that, that, prob -- she may be right." Palin responded, "I've never said that." She went on to say, "I have great respect for the senator and he needs to be heard across America, his voice, his experience, his passion needs to be heard across America so that Alaska can contribute more. I again have great respect for him and I agree there's a big difference between reality and perception regarding our relationship." Stevens added: "If you object to this first edition of the Sarah-Ted Show, I hope it'll continue." From the July 2 press conference: JASON MOORE (KTUU reporter): I'd just like to hear from each of you how you feel about the other. I think there is a sort of perceived rift or perception in Alaska there's a rift between you two. The governor's made some statements against some of your earmarks. She said at the time your house was searched that you needed to tell Alaskans more about what's behind that. You haven't exactly had glowing endorsements of AGIA [Alaska Gasline Inducement Act]. What do you two think about each other, and describe your relationships. PALIN: You can go first. STEVENS: Well, you know, I -- I -- I don't really object to the comments made about my earmarks. I think that, you know, they -- they're part of a period of need. I'm not sure -- with the money that's coming into the state, I don't think we're going to get many earmarks in the future. We -- we developed our earmarks in a period of need and found a way to bring these federal agencies in here through the Denali Commission and other things like that. I don't object to people objecting to that. I think the investigation is another matter, and I do think that she -- the governor had every right to say what she did. I didn't take any umbrage about it -- PALIN: Thank you. STEVENS: -- I never talked to her about it at all. I -- I wish I had her -- her freedom to speak about it, but I don't. You know, it's -- it's there, it's continuing, and that's all there is to it. But as far as getting along, hell, I don't know if you know it, when [former Gov.] Frank Murkowski was first elected, this lady and I and the mayor of Cordova, Margie Johnson, traveled around the state for two weeks. We've known each other for a long time and worked together for a long time. I've never known of any animosity between the two of us at all. We're each free to make comments about what the other does, and every once in a while she'll say I'm stupid and that, that, prob -- she may be right. PALIN: I've never said that. STEVENS: No, I just -- PALIN: And I -- I have great respect for the senator, and he needs to be heard across America. His voice, his experience, his passion needs to be heard across America so that Alaska can contribute more, so that we can be producers, so that we can help lead the rest of the U.S. I, again, have great respect for him, and I agree there's a big difference between reality and perception regarding our relationship. UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Governor -- STEVENS: If you object to this first edition of the Sarah-Ted Show, I hope it'll continue. Co-director of 527 bearing Stevens' name The Washington Post's Matthew Mosk reported on September 1 that Palin served as one of three directors of a 527 organization, named Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc., "until June 2005, when her name was replaced on state filings." From Mosk's post on the washingtonpost.com blog The Trail: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began building clout in her state's political circles in part by serving as a director of an independent political group organized by the now embattled Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.," a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors. The group was designed to serve as a political boot camp for Republican women in the state. The stated purpose of the 527, according to its 8871 form, filed with the Internal Revenue Service and signed March 19, 2004, is "[t]o increase the number of Republican women in elected offices and in appointed governmental and political positions, including advisory and regulatory commissions through training and education." 2006 gubernatorial endorsement During her 2006 gubernatorial campaign, Palin ran an ad featuring Stevens endorsing her candidacy. In the ad, Stevens said that Palin represents "a new vision, new energy. ... When you go to vote, don't go to vote alone. And you'll help Sarah become the next governor of Alaska, which we all want to see." From the ad: STEVENS: We have a state that needs new management. (Text on screen: Senator Stevens Speaks About New Leadership) STEVENS: These two people represent a new generation. And they represent a new vision, new energy. They represent the kind of people who ought to come along and take our places. And that needs a new agenda for all of us to get behind. Think of this: When you go to vote, don't go to vote alone. And you'll help Sarah become the next governor of Alaska, which we all want to see. ANNOUNCER: Frugally paid for by Palin/ [Lt. Gov candidate Sean] Parnell, new energy for Alaska. 245 W. 5th, 99501. Mosk reported that "[s]hortly after Palin was announced as McCain's vice presidential pick, the ad was removed from her gubernatorial campaign web site. It remains available on YouTube."

One of the things that makes me (and the whole BBtv team) happiest about our daily video project is the opportunity to collaborate in new ways with creative, fun, insane friends of the blog -- like Johnannes G. and the monochrom crew in Vienna.

The crew from Hethel built the Concept Ice Vehicle for researchers who will cross the South Pole during the Moon Regan TransArctic Expedition. The point of the journey is to raise awareness of the impact global climate change is having on the continent, but we can't help thinking the explorers are making the trip as an excuse to play with their cool new toy. It wouldn't do for researchers making a point about global warming to tool around a polar ice cap spewing C02, so Lotus made the CIV as green as it is white. The CIV was built by Kieron Bradley, a former Formula 1 chassis designer, and polar guide Jason de Carteret. It burns biofuel and uses what looks to us like a BMW motorcycle engine to spin a huge propeller. The vehicle is 15 feet long and 15 feet wide and rides on three skis, each with independent suspension -- Lotus builds sports cars, after all -- to make traversing the sastruga fields a little easier on the guy in the cockpit. Braking comes from a spiked foot that works a bit like an ice axe. In keeping with Lotus' design philosophy, the CIV is light - so light the crew can drag it across terrain too rough to ski over. Still, pulling it out of a crevasse would be a hassle, so there's a GPS and ice-penetrating radar system to warn of dangers on, and below, the ice. The CIV scout the way for a pair of six-wheel drive "Science Support Vehicles" that will haul the team and its equipment. They're almost as cool as the ice vehicle. They've got low-emission, turbocharged 7.3-liter diesel engines, 20-speed transmissions and independent air suspensions with 26 inches of travel and 44-inch tires. Still, we're betting everyone will want to drive the CIV. Photos by Lotus and Moon Regan TransArctic Expedition.

This form of attack, which helped the Germans obliterate the Poles in three weeks and the French in only six, relies on rapid mobility and the coordination of massed armor and infantry, with fighter planes and dive bombers providing air support. It also depends on the element of surprise, one reason Nazi Germany never declared war prior to invading an enemy. The concept of blitzkrieg was a matter of adapting 20th-century technology -- especially the tank, the airplane and the radio -- to the age-old tactics of mobile warfare. The Germans were not alone in exploring these possibilities -- military thinkers like Britain's Basil Liddell Hart and France's Charles de Gaulle also wrote extensively on the subject during the interwar years -- but conditions within the German army, and inside Germany itself, made for a more receptive audience. Heinz Guderian is the acknowledged father of the blitzkrieg. Guderian was a signals officer during World War I, but he studied tank tactics in the early '20s and became a proselytizer for armored warfare. He later published a study, Achtung Panzer!, that amounted to a blueprint of German blitzkrieg tactics for the next war. Adolf Hitler, meanwhile, was in the process of rearming the country when he attended a war-gaming exercise that combined tanks and motorized infantry. Hitler was impressed by the swiftness and the striking power, and he told Guderian -- who was running the exercise -- that this was the army he meant to have. The tank is the blitzkrieg's decisive weapon. Tactically, the key is to attack en masse rather than committing tanks piecemeal, in an infantry support role, which is what the French did. In Germany, this philosophy led to the creation of the panzer divisions, the world's first truly armored units. (Guderian, though only a colonel, was given command of the 2nd Panzer Division in 1935. As a general in World War II, Guderian commanded the XIX Panzer Corps during the Polish and French campaigns and, later, the Second Panzer Army in Russia. He also served as inspector general of panzer troops and, finally, as chief of the army's general staff.) The classic blitzkrieg attack unfolds like this: Air strikes, rather than artillery, open the attack, hitting at key targets such as enemy airfields, communications centers, rail lines, main roads, supply depots and troop concentrations. Early in the war, the Ju-87 "Stuka" dive bomber was heavily employed in this role. Artillery zeros in on those points in the enemy line selected for the armored breakthrough. When the barrage lifts, massed armor attacks those points (Schwerpunkte in German), tearing gaps in the enemy's line. Tanks, supported by motorized infantry, achieve the breakthrough, driving deep into the enemy's rear areas without stopping to consolidate gains or engage troops on the flanks. The point is to disrupt communications, paralyze command structure and destroy the enemy's ability to mount a coordinated counterattack. Infantry divisions follow up the breakthrough, encircling and mopping up enemy resistance, shoring up the flanks and consolidating the conquered territory. Success is achieved through surprise and speed, which keeps the enemy off balance. Maneuvering is coordinated through the use of radio, which was used so extensively by the Germans that individual tanks carried their own equipment. The French, by comparison, hardly used radio at all. The French High Command was not even connected by radio to units in the field. Instead, it dispatched orders by motorcycle courier from its headquarters outside of Paris. Incidentally, the German Wehrmacht never officially used the word blitzkrieg -- literally, "lightning war" -- though it did appear in several prewar German military publications. It came into popular use after turning up in Time magazine's coverage of the Polish invasion.
