'Tis the Season for Treason
By Ben Barrack on February 19, 2013 in General
In a video, Bill Whittle explained the difference between a 'traitor' and a 'turncoat'. The former describes an individual who actively fights against his nation because he/she opposes it based on ideology, principles, or some agenda. The latter describes an individual who changes sides because the enemy is winning. In the case of America's most […]

OUR MOTHER'S DAY REVIEWS & RATINGS:
Over the past few years Garry Marshall's movies haven't always been easy to watch. The man who once brought as classic television shows like Happy Days and The Odd Couple has turned to a lazy style of filmmaking which has seen him use the quantity of stars to get people into the cinema rather than the quality of the film. The result has been films like New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day which while have had star power but haven't exactly been the most captivating films to watch.
It was because of that style of filmmaking that has meant that Mother's Day has virtually been released in Australia with very little fanfare at all, a surprise when you realise that it stars three regular box office winners – Jennifer Aniston (We're The Millers), Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) and Kate Hudson (Almost Famous). If you are one of those people that have been a little bit worried about going to see Mother's Day you can relax because this is one of Marshall's better modern day films.
The film centres around a number of characters as Mother's Day rapidly approaches. There is Jesse (Kate Hudson) and her sister Gabi (Sarah Chalke – Scrubs) who haven't seen their parents in years because of their secret lives they know that their parents would not approve them. There is also Sandy (Jennifer Aniston) who is left reeling after she discovers that her ex-husband (Timothy Olyphant – Hitman) has just re-married the much younger Tina (Shay Mitchell – Pretty Little Liars) which means her children know have a second mother. Then there is Bradley (Jason Sudeikis – Horrible Bosses) who has been left trying to bring up his daughters after the death of his mother while Zack (Jack Whitehall – Fresh Meat) struggles to comprehend why the mother of his daughter, Kristin (Britt Robertson – The Longest Ride) refuses to marry him. Last but not least there is Miranda (Julia Roberts), the television show host that brings the ensemble all together.
After watching Mother's Day i found myself sitting down and going over the film like a crime scene. Why did Mother's Day work so well when Marshall's previous films have been such lame ducks. The first thing I realised was the fact that Mother's Day seems to flow a lot smoother than the previously mentioned films. Some of the links between characters in the other films have been pretty lame where as in Mother's Day the relationships are not only believable but help the film's storyline to move along rather than get in the way of it.
There also seems to be a lot more heart and humor in the film this time around which in the end makes the whole film seem a whole lot more realistic. While the story revolving around Bradley might not be as well presented as the similar story in Steve Carrell's Dan In Real Life Sudeikis does manage to mix comedy with some truly emotional scenes. Likewise Sarah Chalke and Kate Hudson brilliantly portray two sisters sadly forced to live secret lives despite the fact they live in modern times. Like Sudeikis the two manage to amazingly combine comedy with some scenes that are powerful enough to really upset anybody who has had similar things happen in their lives.
Perhaps the biggest breath of fresh air in Mother's Day are the acting performances of Britt Robertson and Jack Whitehall. Whitehall largely comes from a comedy background and while he plays a stand-up comedian in Mother's Day he shows a new side to his talents by also expertly portraying a lot of the more emotional scenes that he shares with Britt Robertson who is almost unrecognisable compared to the roles that she has recently played in Tomorrowland and The Longest Ride.
Marshall really does find the right mix of comedy and drama and manages to make Mother's Day a credible film that is a joy to watch. This is a film that you can easily become emotionally involved with and with great acting performances from the likes of Aniston, Hudson and Sarah Chalke this is actually a film that you won't groan at if someone in your family decides that want to watch it every Mother's Day. Garry Marshall take a bow you have finally learnt how to make a good ensemble film.

OUR DEEPWATER HORIZON REVIEWS & RATINGS:
Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) has to be one of the most underrated film directors going around. Barring the ill-fated Battleship Berg has created always created films and television shows that felt as natural as can be. Lone Survivor made the audience feel that they were right there on the battlefield while many made the mistake of watching Friday Night Lights and thought they were watching a reality television show about a High School football team. Now Berg has taken that natural style of film-making and introduced it to the disaster film genre.
Deepwater Horizon tells the true story of electrician Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg – Lone Survivor) who in 2010 left his wife, Felicia (Kate Hudson – Almost Famous), and once again went to work on the oil rig named 'Deepwater Horizon' in the Gulf Of Mexico. What he didn't know was that on that fateful day due to poor work safety practices by BP an accident would occur that would cause the rig to erupt into flames. Suddenly Mike and his colleagues including his boss Mr. Jimmy (Kurt Russell – The Thing), radio operator Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez – Filly Brown), hard worker Caleb Holloway (Dylan O'Brien – The Maze Runner) and BP representative Vidrine (John Malkovich – Red 2) all find themselves fighting for their lives.
As a filmmaker Berg should be congratulated for his work with Deepwater Horizon. It was no secret that some of the survivors of the real Deepwater Horizon disaster were hesitant in wanting this film to be made, but they need not of worried. Berg certainly doesn't 'trivialize' the memory of the men who died on that fateful day by making this a popcorn action film. Instead he makes this a character drama about not only the men who died on that day but also shows the world the valiant actions of people like Mike Williams whose brave acts saved many of the workers. To his credit Berg also doesn't hide the facts of exactly what happened that day – no he points the finger firmly at BP without any hesitation even though he wouldn't have known how the huge corporation would have reacted to it.
Many films these days claim to be suspenseful but few filmmakers have the skills to make the audience feel as part of the action and suspense as Berg does here. While with Lone Survivor the audience felt they were there on the side of the hill during the battle here Berg's realistic style of directing makes the audience feel you are right there on the rig with Mike… you even at times feel like you can feel the heat of the flames against your skin.
Berg's filmmaking is also well supported by his screen writers who don't waste time making this film too scientific. The audience is given bite-sized pieces of information about what an oil rig does and what has gone wrong here but they never forget that at the heart of this film it is a character drama. So instead of focusing on the ins and outs of the rig they concentrate the suspense around a man trying to get home to his daughter and wife and a scared woman trying to survive in order to see her partner again. The fact that little things like a dinosaur tooth for show-and-tell and car problems back home are so seamlessly inserted into the script just go even further into humanizing this story. Having said that though it is also important to point out the Berg and his cinematographer, Enrique Chediak (The 5th Wave), also create some amazing action sequences as the rig burns against a night sky.
As a director Berg also brings the best out in his cast. Here Mark Wahlberg delivers the best of both worlds as he plays the action hero extremely well but also has the dramatic acting ability to pull off the character driven elements of the screenplay as well. Kurt Russell also benefits from one of the more meatier roles he has been given over the years and he is well matched by John Malkovich who is technically this film's 'bad guy.' Despite her limited screen time Kate Hudson is also one of the standouts of the film.
Deepwater Horizon is proof that a modern day disaster film can actually find the right mix of action and character drama. Brilliant directing by Peter Berg makes this one of the must see films of 2016.

Senator Josh Hawley Announces Direct Cash Relief For American Working Families
Matthew T. McDonald |
On Wednesday afternoon Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) took the floor of the United States Senate to give remarks and updates about the Covid stimulus bill that is being negotiated by an eleven member bipartisan group in the Senate.
"Last week I came to this floor on two separate occasions with Senator Sanders to talk about the need for direct assistance for working families. I said that I was willing to use every tool at my disposal to make sure this body acted to give direct assistance to working people in need as a part of Covid relief, and I said then and I say it again today the working people should be first in line for Covid relief, not last. They should be the first consideration, not some after thought," remarked the Junior Senator from Missouri.
"I please to report that we were told today that direct assistance to working families and working people is in the bill. The working people will be getting assistance."
The direct assistance relief that is being backed by the unlikely duo of Senators Hawley and Sanders is overwhelmingly popular with voters as it ensures that single Americans are provided with a $1,200 stimulus check, couples are given $2,400, and each child is given $500, which is the same rate of direct relief that Americans were provided in April.
In short, a couple with three children would get $3,900 in direct stimulus relief money to use at their own discretion.
"It would be a dereliction of duty if Congress adjourns for Christmas without having a vote on providing working families with direct payments. Working people are struggling. And they should be the first people given relief, not last," Hawley said in a statement.
"In the midst of so much economic desperation, Congress cannot go on recess without providing this $1,200 emergency assistance to the American people in their time of need," Sanders said.
Members of the stimulus negotiating team hope to have a bill ready by the end of the week.
Sen. Josh @HawleyMO makes passionate case for direct assistance to working people: "I'm not interested in stimulus, I'm interested in helping working people survive and help them to get back up on their feet so they can manage their own lives. That's why the need is so great." pic.twitter.com/rknEvMWOg7

Nick Eaves Stepping Down
Email this page Printer-friendly version
Published: January 15, 2015 01:21 pm EST
On Thursday, January 15, the Woodbine Entertainment Group issued a press release announcing that its president and CEO, Nick Eaves, will be leaving the company on March 31, 2015.
Eaves took on the role of CEO in 2010, with a mandate to establish a new and stable foundation for WEG, its role in the horse racing industry, and its future. The release states that, with this now in place, this is the right time for the company to transition to new, long-term leadership.
Eaves has worked at WEG for over 20 years, as president since 2006, and CEO since 2010. In that time, he has led the organization through significant change and helped create opportunities for continued development and future growth. This is due, in large part, to the five-year Horse Racing Partnership Plan with the Province of Ontario, under which WEG now leads the Standardbred Alliance and operates all off-track operations across the province for the benefit of the industry.
Additionally, WEG and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) have made significant progress in negotiating a new, long-term partnership, which truly integrates horse racing and gaming at WEG facilities.
"As I look back on the last 20 years, I am very proud to have been part of a team that was able to accomplish so many great things for WEG and in our industry," said Eaves. "Looking forward, I have confidence that the organization is pointed in the right direction and know the current leadership team will continue to grow and improve on the model we have developed. I want to thank all of my WEG colleagues for their hard work and collaboration over the years."
Following the end of Eaves' term at the end of March 2015, WEG chairman, Jim Lawson, will lead the company on an interim basis. The board will consider all options as it determines the best candidate to permanently fill the position.
"Nick has been with WEG for over two decades and in that time has been a big part of its evolution and success," said Lawson. "The board and I want to thank Nick for his dedication, passion, and commitment, and wish him all the best as he embarks on the next stage of his life and career."
Lawson continued, "As we look forward, now that we have stability we must work to achieve long-term sustainability for WEG and the horse racing and breeding industry and we will continue to put all of our resources towards that end."

Unlike most countries, we have no overt national religion; but a partly concealed one has been developing among us for two centuries now. It is almost purely experiential, and despite its insistences … — Harold Bloom
Where do you put the anger?
Anger and the animating presence of God
Few topics are as ambiguous for people of faith as anger. All of us get angry from time to time. But something inside us tells us we're not supposed to be angry—even though sometimes it feels right.
The Bible itself seems to be ambiguous. Jesus appears to forbid it when he says "every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment." (Matthew 5:22—although a textual note adds: "Other ancient authorities insert 'without cause' in this verse. The rest of this text involves Jesus' warning about insulting behavior.)
God surely gets angry. A lot. How come God gets to, and we don't? The Psalms, in particular, are packed full of angry statements., though we almost never read those. (For more on this, see "Angry words in the Psalms: A collection of texts.")
One Saturday evening a church member called my wife about worship the next morning. She had assigned him a Scripture reading.
"I made a mistake and wrote down Psalm 109," he said.
"That's the one," Nancy said.
"Are you sure?" he replied, "This one's not very nice—and you want me to read this in church?"
§ § §
Sometimes we muster the will power to "swallow" our anger. Doing that, however, is like swallowing a mouth-full of nails. It usually produces serious digestive problems. (Have you ever heard someone described as "eaten up with anger"?)
Psychologically speaking, swallowing anger leads either to depression (when internalized) or aggression. I am convinced you can no more stamp out anger than you can destroy energy. It simply assumes another form.
I probably have as many questions about anger as anyone. I know four things for sure.
1. If you're never angry, you're not paying attention. Conflict is constitutive to life as we know it, and envisioning and practicing redemptive response is the heart of faith.
2. Anger is the appropriate response to every form of abuse and injustice. It is, in fact, the animating presence of God; for life as we know it is not finally fated to destruction and will be transformed. This is the promise on which faith is formed and engaged.
3. Yet anger's sway easily becomes a cover to act out our own fears and self-centeredness—and is especially brutal when cloaked in religious identity and claiming divine blessing. Truth be told, the only way to God is through unwelcomed, unruly neighbors. (See Matthew 5:23-24.)
4. As with all such weighty matters, talking about the appropriate use of anger is immeasurably easier than practicing it. We remain acquainted with failure; it is risky; and sometimes bruising. But such is the stuff of glory.
Unfortunately, few people ever admit to being angry "without cause"—any more than politicians and generals admit to waging war "without cause." All of us are guilty of assuming a posture of righteous indignation when, in reality, we're merely serving our own narrow self-interest. In actual fact, much of our anger is rooted in fearfulness. And fear, according to John's epistle (4:18), is the opposite of faith. The only remedy for fearfulness, along with the anger and destructive behavior it produces, is grace.
A good friend once shared an anecdote about the dilemma of handling anger as depicted in a favorite episode of an old television show, "Hill Street Blues." Ramona wrote:
"At the time I had small children and a house that had become a community center for children in the neighborhood. The show dealt with the ugly realities of daily life in the inner city. I watched the show faithfully and considered the characters portrayed as friends—people who understood the violence of poverty and the drug culture, realities that characterized my neighborhood.
"In one episode, one of the young police officers was being praised by his boss for how well he had handled a case of domestic violence, and an arrest of a drug dealer, and a confrontation with a prostitute—all in a night's work. The officer thanked him for the encouragement and then asked him, 'But, sir, where do you put the anger?'"
All of us—virtually every day, in small, personal ways or in large public ones—encounter conflict and wrestle with the question about where to "put" our anger. Every episode is an exercise in faith development and the occasion for deepening grace, grace that calms our fretful habits, provides buoyancy amid the contention, and unleashes imagination and energy for building bridges across walls of enmity.
Faith formation and the ministry of reconciliation are interwoven in the drama of redemption.
For more on this topic, see "How do you deal with anger? Pastoral commentary. "


Introduced pest animals such as rabbits, feral cats, foxes and wild dogs, occur in all areas of Australia and cause over $1 billion damage to agricultural production, biodiversity, threatened species and human health each year. In response, farmers, governments, community, indigenous groups and industry organisations invest millions of dollars trying to reduce the impacts of pest animals, placing further pressure on existing resources and people. The FeralScan Program (available at www.feralscan.org.au and via Smart Phone App) helps to bring citizen science centre-stage with traditional approaches to reduce the impacts of Australia's worst introduced pest animals on biodiversity, threatened species, agricultural productivity, the environment and people. It provides new digital technology through purpose-built web- and Smart Phone Apps, that empower communities to be part of a solution to introduced pest animals. For the first time, communities have an easy way of documenting pest problems in their local area. Information recorded by the community is delivered directly into the hands of land managers, farmers, indigenous groups, and biosecurity stakeholders all over Australia. In this way, it provides technology for active surveillance and detection of pest animals; it centralises and shares data; alerts people to new issues; tracks progress of management actions, and guides local control activities.

Exercise Deep Sabre was a multi-national maritime interdiction exercise conducted in August 2005 in South China Sea.

Launched at the Changi Naval Base in Singapore, the exercise was part of the Proliferation Security Initiative. It involved some 2,000 personnel from the military, coast guard, customs and other agencies of 13 countries, including Singapore, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the US.  Ten ships and six maritime patrol aircraft were involved in the exercise that aimed to develop and practice effective procedures to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Sea Phase

The sea phase of the exercise was conducted during 15-17 August 2005.

It began with the deployment of maritime and air assets from participating countries to detect, localise and track the merchant ship (simulated by MV Avatar) transporting the illegal shipment of dual-use chemicals. Once located, a request was made for the ship to voluntarily divert to port for a search. When the ship's master refused, flag state consent was sought, and given, for the ship to be interdicted and diverted to Singapore for the port search.

A team from the Republic of Singapore Navy's Naval Diving Unit (NDU) was the first to board the vessel. After the ship was secured by the NDU team, follow-on forces from the Singapore Armed Forces  Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Explosive Defence Group, the Japan Coast Guard and Australian Customs Service boarded the vessel and conducted a preliminary search and investigation. Following indications of a suspicious cargo on board, the ship was escorted to Singapore's port for a detailed search by domestic enforcement agencies.

Port Search Phase

From  Aug 15-19 2005 joint government and military teams searched cargo container in Singapore's Pasir Panjang Scanning Station for weapons of mass destruction.

Smart Energy Team
Greater Manchester is going greener with its energy supply, as we aim to become carbon neutral by 2038. We're looking at the way we fuel our homes, businesses, and public sector buildings to introduce new, greener technologies that will help reduce our carbon emissions.
You are here: Smart Energy Team
It's no secret that getting energy from fossils fuels is bad for our planet and contributes to climate change. In Greater Manchester only 2.5% of our energy comes from renewable energy sources.
We need to reduce carbon emissions that come from the energy we use to power our transport, heat and power our homes and buildings. This means moving away from fossil fuels to renewable sources like switching to green energy, low carbon heating options and electric vehicles.
We need to make big changes to the way our current system delivers our energy too. It was built for gas and electricity from fossils fuels not for wind turbines and solar panels.
Standards for new buildings and developments will be set through a joint development plan called 'Places for Everyone'. But we still need to increase renewable energy generation and low carbon heating in existing homes and buildings.
To do this, we need everyone to take action and make a change. From something simple like switching to LED light bulbs or insulating your loft. To something a bit bigger like installing a heat pump or fitting solar panels.
If each one of us made a small change it would make a big difference!
What we need to do
In Greater Manchester we need:
Half of all homes to have solar panels covering 16 square metres. That's the same size as 7000 Olympic size swimming pools.
Business and commercial premises to have a total of 5.5 square kilometres of solar panels on rooftops or in ground-mounted installations. That's the size of 770 football pitches.
550 onshore wind turbines delivering around 3.4 terawatt hours per year. That's the same amount of energy as travelling from Manchester to London by high-speed electric train 523,000 times!
A 4.5 times increase in current biomass energy delivering around 4 terawatt hours per year. That's energy that's generated from plants, wood and even food waste and would be enough energy to power 100 LED bulbs for 1 million years.
To move away from gas boilers. So less than 35% of homes are heated by gas. And 60% of homes and business are using low carbon heating instead, like heat pumps and solar energy.
Through collaborative projects across Greater Manchester, funded by the Government, we are looking at how energy is stored, used, bought and sold by businesses and residents so we can help implement energy efficient measures.
The projects underway so far are:
Greater Manchester Local Energy Market
This is a partnership project, led by GMCA with 12 other energy partners to look at the way energy is used across Greater Manchester. This project is looking at the measures for renewable energy sources that can be put in place to lower our carbon emissions like air source heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.
Green Homes Grant fund
The fund supports residents with grants to install energy efficiency measures such as external wall insulation, new windows and doors and air source heat pumps. These measures help residents to make their homes more energy efficient, which can help save them money on fuel bills.
Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme
The scheme is looking at public sector buildings and how they can have energy efficiency measures installed. The measures will include the installation of air source heat pumps for heating, solar panels to generate and create electricity, insulation and LED lighting to improve energy efficiency, and energy monitoring and control systems to ensure these public facilities can accurately measure their energy usage.
Energy Innovation Agency
The Agency is a collaboration between Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), The Growth Company, Hitachi Europe, Bruntwood, SSE Enterprise, The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Salford. The Energy Innovation Agency has been created to bridge the 'innovation gap' that is a key barrier for Greater Manchester reaching its aim of having a zero-carbon footprint by 2038.
Retrofitting Task Force
The Task Force is made up of the best minds in energy, education and infrastructure has been established with the goal of upgrading around 60,000 homes across Greater Manchester every year. Measures including changing to renewable energy and heating. Not only will this reduce carbon issues, but it will reduce fuel poverty and create a market of skills and jobs worth around £5 billion.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has secured £10.3 million of funding to run the Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery scheme in Greater Manchester in partnership with E.ON. The Local Authority Delivery Scheme is open for applications until December 2021.
Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre
Fuel cells produce electricity through a chemical reaction without combustion. This converts hydrogen and oxygen into water, generating electricity in the process. The Centre is exploring the pure science of the fuel cell itself, driving engagement with industry on a local, national and international scale.
Greater Manchester Decarbonising our Existing Buildings
This report builds on the priorities and actions on buildings in the 5 Year Environment Plan. It sets out where Greater Manchester is now and where it needs to get to in terms of the energy demand of its existing domestic, commercial and public buildings.
Spatial Energy Plan
The spatial energy plan for Greater Manchester project was commissioned as part of the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) Smart Systems and Heat Programme and undertaken through collaboration between the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the Energy Systems Catapult.
Five Year Environment Plan Summary
This environment plan brings together, and is a key part of, a set of bold plans for achieving that for our current and future generations, setting out what we all need to do to tackle those challenges and capitalise on the opportunities and benefits that will come from taking action.
Smart Energy Plan
As part of the Smart Systems and Heat phase 2 programme, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has developed a Smart Energy Plan with support from Energy Systems Catapult, the Energy Technologies Institute and other stakeholders.
More than 1,000 people to learn retrofitting skills to help city-region achieve net zero future
Back in May, the Mayor of Greater Manchester launched The Greater Manchester Retrofitting Task Force, to start out a detailed action plan to deliver low-carbon retrofitting across the city-region. Upskilling construction workers is one of the priorities identified by the task force.
Retrofitting Task Force to drive forward plans for low-carbon homes across Greater Manchester
To date, the GMCA has been awarded £27m by Government for the scheme, delivered in partnership across the city-region with E.ON.
Greater Manchester plans to deliver a smarter local energy system as it leads on Net Zero challenge
Greater Manchester's Local Energy Market project sets out ambitious plans to revolutionise the use and distribution of energy across the Greater Manchester region, supporting a low carbon future with the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2038.

Hi, all! I saw the MAH article about ammy army and decided to lurk a bit. I'm really impressed with the camaraderie I see here, so I signed on. Actually, my father made a career of the military, although it was Air Force.
To describe myself, I don't have an Arabian (yet), but I'm trying hard to remedy that situation. I've been involved with horses of many breeds and disciplines through the years and finally realized I've always been an Arabian person but just never knew it.
I'm really keen on the Arabian sport horse movement, and am looking for a horse suitable for this.
I'm in Region 14; are there many others in ammy army in this region?
We are very happy that you decided to join the fray:) Welcome aboard.
Looking forward to hearing more from all y'all!
Foxfire, where are you from in Reg. 14?

Q: Capacitors and Kirchoff's Voltage Law If we connect capacitor to voltage source, its voltage will be equal to voltage of the source when capacitor is fully charged due to Kirchoff's voltage law and no current will flow in a circuit any longer.
If we had a theorethical capacitor with no or very little capacitance than almost no charge would develop on it for certain voltage.
If so, how can voltage on capacitor develop if there is no or almost no charge separated on the plates since voltage applied can be arbitrarily big?
If we for example connected such capacitor to some high voltage like 50 kV, how can such voltage develop on capacitor with no or almost no charge separated on the plates of the capacitor?

A: If we had a theoretical capacitor with no or very little capacitance than almost no charge would develop on it for certain voltage
This statement is misleading in that there is a capacitance in a circuit even when think there is none.
For example consider a series circuit consisting of a battery, a resistor and a switch which is open.
Is there a capacitor in the circuit?
Indeed there is even though its capacitance is so small that you will probably never notice its effect.
The switch acts as a capacitor with a very small capacitance and when open the potential difference across it is equal to the emf of the battery and so there are charges stored on the two parts of the open switch even though the amount of charge is very, very small.
So even though $C$ may be very, very small, $Q=CV$ still applies.

A: Just consider a spherical capacitor that is charged with a single electron $q=e$ (i.e. the smallest possible charge) against infinity (suppose the electron charge could be distributed evenly over the sphere). Then the spherically symmetric field outside the sphere is identical to the field of a point-like localized electron, and thus, also the potential. Since the potential of a point charge has an $1/r$ behavior, the voltage of the capacitor, i.e. the potential on the sphere's surface (of radius $R$) also has a $1/R$ dependency. So
$$U=\frac{ke}{R}$$
which means, there is no limit to the voltage that a spherical capacitor can carry, just because there is no limit to the value of the potential of a point charge at distance $R$. The closer to the center you get (the smaller the radius of the sphere), the higher the voltage. Even with a single electron you can achieve arbitrarily high potentials (and hence, voltages).
Your question wrongly assumes that there is a kind of natural limit to the voltage of a given amount of charge. There is not.

New FSU study: Follow your gut down the aisle
Published: November 28, 2013 | 2:12 pm | SHARE:
Although newlyweds may not be completely aware of it, they may know whether their march down the aisle will result in wedded bliss or an unhappy marriage, according to new study led by a Florida State University researcher.
Associate Professor of Psychology James K. McNulty and his colleagues studied 135 heterosexual couples who had been married for less than six months and then followed up with them every six months over a four-year period. They found that the feelings the study participants verbalized about their marriages were unrelated to changes in their marital happiness over time. Instead, it was the gut-level negative evaluations of their partners that they unknowingly revealed during a baseline experiment that predicted future happiness.
"Although they may be largely unwilling or unable to verbalize them, people's automatic evaluations of their partners predict one of the most important outcomes of their lives — the trajectory of their marital satisfaction," the researchers wrote in a paper published in the Nov. 29 issue of the journal Science.
The paper, "Though They May Be Unaware, Newlyweds Implicitly Know Whether Their Marriages Will Be Satisfying," outlined two important findings. First, people's conscious attitudes, or how they said they felt, did not always reflect their gut-level or automatic feelings about their marriage. Second, it was the gut-level feelings, not their conscious ones, that actually predicted how happy they remained over time.
"Everyone wants to be in a good marriage," McNulty said. "And in the beginning, many people are able to convince themselves of that at a conscious level. But these automatic, gut-level responses are less influenced by what people want to think. You can't make yourself have a positive response through a lot of wishful thinking."
To conduct the experiment, the researchers asked the individuals to report their relationship satisfaction and the severity of their specific relationship problems. The participants also were asked to provide their conscious evaluations by describing their marriage according to 15 pairs of opposing adjectives, such as "good" or "bad," "satisfied" or "unsatisfied."
Most interesting to the researchers, though, were the findings regarding another measure designed to test their automatic attitudes, or gut-level responses. The experiment involved flashing a photo of the study participant's spouse on a computer screen for just one-third of a second followed by a positive word like "awesome" or "terrific" or a negative word like "awful" or "terrible."
The individuals simply had to press a key on the keyboard to indicate whether the word was positive or negative. The researchers used special software to measure reaction time.
"It's generally an easy task, but flashing a picture of their spouse makes people faster or slower depending on their automatic attitude toward the spouse," McNulty said. "People who have really positive feelings about their partners are very quick to indicate that words like 'awesome' are positive words and very slow to indicate that words like 'awful' are negative words."
That's because positive gut-level attitudes facilitate congruent cognitive processes and interfere with incongruent cognitive processes. In other words, McNulty explained, people with positive gut-level attitudes were really good at processing positive words but bad at processing negative words when those automatic attitudes were activated. The opposite was also true. When a spouse had negative feelings about their partner that were activated by the brief exposure to the photo, they had a harder time switching gears to process the positive words.
Both the explicit and implicit experiments were performed only once, at the baseline, but the researchers checked in with the couples every six months and asked them to report relationship satisfaction. The researchers found that the respondents who unwittingly revealed negative or lukewarm attitudes during the implicit measure reported the most marital dissatisfaction four years later. The conscious attitudes were unrelated to changes in marital satisfaction.
"I think the findings suggest that people may want to attend a little bit to their gut," McNulty said. "If they can sense that their gut is telling them that there is a problem, then they might benefit from exploring that, maybe even with a professional marriage counselor."
McNulty's co-authors are Michael A. Olson of the University of Tennessee; Andrea L. Meltzer of Southern Methodist University; and Matthew Shaffer, also of the University of Tennessee.

Outdoor galvanized sconces for front and back door?
Chandelier for dining room or stairwell? I'm thinking may be too small for stair well.
Double Sconce - half-bath and master bath above mirrors?
And I give up for today!

The first volume of the Perspectives on Mormon Theology series.
From the Introduction:
The phrase "theology of scripture" can be understood in two distinct ways. First, theology of scripture would be reflection on the nature of scripture, asking questions about what it means for a person or a people to be oriented by a written text (rather than or in addition to an oral tradition or a ritual tradition). In this first sense, theology of scripture would form a relatively minor part of the broader theological project, since the nature of scripture is just one of many things on which theologians reflect. Second, theology of scripture would be theological reflection guided by scripture, asking questions of scriptural texts and allowing those texts to shape the direction the theologian's thoughts pursue. In this second sense, theology of scripture would be less a part of the larger theological project than a way of doing theology, since whatever the theologian takes up reflectively, she investigates through the lens of scripture.
The essays making up this collection reflect attentiveness to both ways of understanding the phrase "theology of scripture." Each essay takes up the relatively un-self-conscious work of reading a scriptural text but then—at some point or another—asks the self-conscious question of exactly what she or he is doing in the work of reading scripture. We have thus attempted in this book (1) to create a dialogue concerning what scripture is for Latter-day Saints, and (2) to focus that dialogue on concrete examples of Latter-day Saints reading actual scripture texts.

For this Q&A, Perspectives series co-editor Loyd Isao Ericson discusses the inaugural volume with editors James E. Faulconer and Joseph M. Spencer.
Loyd: While we would love to say that we initially planned it this way, it is fortuitous that the first volume for the Perspectives series is on scriptural theology. How would you describe scriptural theology? What is the relationship between scripture and theology?
James: We have borrowed the term from Protestant theology, where it means theological studies in which one tries to understand how God reveals himself in scripture, without imposing a theological system onto the biblical text. It is not necessarily opposed to historical, sociological, ideological or other kinds of interpretation. However, it does not look for what history or culture is behind the text, as does much biblical criticism. Nor does it look for how our own ideas are reflected in the text, as does ideological critique. Instead, scriptural theology tries to understand the Bible as the word of God, a text about God and human relationships with God.
Joseph: As anyone terribly serious about scripture knows, it's difficult to find a clearly consistent message in the canon. This scriptural voice clashes with that scriptural voice, this style of presentation differs fundamentally from that style of presentation, this book privileges a theme entirely distinct from the one privileged by that book, and so on. One might respond to such tensions and inconsistencies in, very broadly speaking, one of two ways. On the one hand, one can hope to release undesired tensions, to reconcile inconsistencies, to find a largely unified voice that's to be given greater weight than competing voices. This can be accomplished in several ways: reading quite imaginatively, scuttling inconvenient passages, translating away problems, ignoring scripture entirely. On the other hand, however, one can hope to learn from tensions, to be fascinated by inconsistencies, to welcome an irreducible chorus of voices that all together present God's word and will to humankind. This latter approach is something like what we have in mind when we speak of scriptural theology.
In a formula: we theologize because scripture is messy and complex, and we do so scripturally when we struggle to let the messiness and complexity of scripture guide our reflections.
Loyd: Is all theology scriptural? And, conversely, is all scripture reading an act of theologizing to some degree?
James: The answer to both questions is yes, in a qualified sense in the first case and an unqualified sense in the second.
In the sense that, presumably, all Christian theologies advert eventually to scripture, all of it is scriptural. But sometimes theology uses scripture as, more or less, a proof text for the ideas that it wants to hang on scripture. The point of scriptural theology is to focus on the text and see what things arise from it. The line between scriptural theology and other theologies, though, is not bright.
On the other hand, if a person reads scripture and talks about it, gives explanations, relates on thing to another, that person is theologizing. So all scripture reading and discussion is a kind of scriptural theology. In both cases, what would make something scriptural theology in our sense would be (1) how explicitly they were about doing theology and (2) how closely what they say is tied to the scriptural text.
Joseph: To the extent that scripture, as scripture, motivates theological reflection in the first place, all theology could be said to be scriptural. In the sense reviewed above, however, not all theology is scriptural. Any theology that pretends to do its work while oversimplifying scripture distances itself from scripture—and to that extent, it could be said to cease to be scriptural. Of course, no theological reflection avoids oversimplifying scripture. So perhaps it's best to say that all theology is scriptural to a certain degree, but no theology is or even could be perfectly scriptural. One of the tasks of the scriptural theologian is to do all she can to work against the inevitable tendency to move away from scripture, to avoid its complexities and difficulties, to embrace something cleaner and more definitive than the word God's given her to work with.
And it's certainly the case that all scripture reading amounts to a theological exercise—at least whenever the reader attempts, even if only halfheartedly, to understand scripture. Every understanding of scripture, even if it's terribly misinformed historically or naive philosophically, requires a certain theoretical investment and an attempt at deciding what in scripture matters or doesn't matter. That investment and that attempt lie at the heart of every theology. In the end, we're all theologians; we're just more or less conscious of the fact, more or less conscientious about the fact, more or less arrogant about our theological speculations.
Loyd: One of the primary goals of the Perspectives series is to highlight the many ways in which Mormon theology can be understood and explored. Given that all Latter-day Saints share a single set of canonized scripture, why is it that so many varied perspectives exist?
James: Isn't that a bit like asking "Why is it that so many varied Latter-day Saints exist?" More seriously: if I believe in continuing revelation, then I believe that God can and will continue to reveal. That implies differences in the revelations. Subaltern to that idea is that to believe that revelations will between differ people. I would say that there are different perspectives because the Holy Spirit continues to teach us.
Joseph: Perspectives are internal to the canon itself. One might think here of some of the prophecies Mormons associate most often with Malachi. They were produced originally in Hebrew. Over the centuries following their original production and textual arrangement, they were translated into a variety of languages used by Jews scattered all over the ancient world: various renderings in Greek, in Aramaic, in Syriac, and so on. Those translations in all their variety affected the reception and popular understandings of those prophecies, which were then reflected in certain early Christian renderings and uses of the prophecies—some of which were eventually canonized in the New Testament. In the meanwhile, the resurrected Christ visited Israel in the New World and quoted the Malachi prophecies in some other form or language, a form that would nonetheless be rendered in English to match the King James Version of the Hebrew text passed down by scribes—though other passages in the Book of Mormon borrow the language of those same prophecies in creative and inventive ways. When the angel Moroni came to visit Joseph Smith, however, he quoted from the same prophecies, but with some inventive and theologically significant variations—variations that would be canonized in both the Pearl of Great Price and the Doctrine and Covenants at different points in Mormon history. And yet then again, in letters written during the Nauvoo period, canonized in the Doctrine and Covenants several decades before Moroni's version, Joseph quoted the passage from Malachi and noted that it was sufficiently clear for his purposes.Here we have a single prophetic text that, internal to the canon itself, is subjected to all sorts of perspectives and project, differing interpretive programs and communicating with distinct audiences.
Yet all of them end up within the covers of a single set of canonized scripture. That we as readers of scripture mirror the variety and multiplicity already on display in the scriptures themselves is only to be expected.
Loyd: What challenges exist in Mormonism between engaging in scriptural theology and having authoritative prophets leading the LDS Church? How do your authors respond to these challenges?
James: I read and study scripture to learn from it. There isn't any in-principle difficulty between doing that and believing that there are those who can speak authoritatively for God, especially not if I believe in continuing revelation, that the scriptures are not closed.
Perhaps this isn't completely relevant, but it raises a pet peeve of mine, our discussions of authority. Authority is a very complicated matter about which we almost always think too simplistically. It's too big a question to deal with well here, but let me say something briefly: Without knowing that we do, we use the language of Kant's essay "What is Enlightenment?" and talk as if it is possible to reject all authority. But it doesn't take much to know that can't be.
The question isn't whether to accept authority, but which ones and how. And those questions cannot be answered independent of my ceding authority to the authorities I recognize. So real authority, as opposed to despotism, is something that cannot exist without the agreement and support of those whom it governs. (Want to know more, read Gadamer's Truth and Method.)
Joseph: Adam Miller has suggested drawing a distinction between theology and doctrine, understanding the latter term to refer to institutionally normative ideas—the kinds of things one must or should believe to adhere to a certain shared faith. There's virtue in that suggestion, since it allows one to set aside as the work of theology to reflect in a way that neither distressingly confronts nor unthinkingly follows institutionally authoritative statements issued by those positioned to govern the Church. It's also helpful that the Church has never really established any officially binding interpretations of the scriptures, simply affirming their truth and encouraging the Saints to read them with real intent and an eye single to God's glory. In short, it's possible to deny, in certain ways at least, that there are any terribly substantive challenges along the lines suggested by this question.
But in other ways, there are real challenges, of course. Scriptural theologians have to get used to hearing objections like, "Well, I've never heard that in General Conference!" or, "If that kind of thing mattered, then the Brethren would be talking about it!" It's too easy to retort to such objections that Church leaders urge close study of the scriptures, or to dismiss such objectors by suggesting that they're simply not curious enough about scripture. The best response is probably to see in such objections reason to ask oneself whether one's questions have indeed gotten too far afield, or why one's reflections don't seem relevant to the average Latter-day Saint.
How do our authors respond to these challenges? It's hard to say without reading through all the essays afresh with that question in mind. It's certain that they're all quite aware of the difficulties, that they're all used to hearing the kinds of objections mentioned above. And it's certain that they therefore attempt to position themselves rhetorically so as to be as non-threatening, as open-mindedly reasonable, and as faithfully committed to the Restoration and its core institution as they can possibly be. It's to be hoped that they succeed in doing so. And there's reason to think that, for the most part, they do.

As the spring semester comes to a close, sophomore swimmer Sara Krajnovic, a 19-year-old biochemistry major, is ending her competitive swimming career.
Athletes at the community college level are given two years of athletic eligibility to compete in a sport.
Student athletes must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA and take a minimum of 12 academic units. Krajnovic is one of 63 spring student athletes at CRC, according to the Cosumnes River College Hawks athletics website.
The pool is Krajnovic's second home and she said is going to miss it.
She said that she has planned to focus on academics as she transfers to University of California at Davis this fall. She said she will focus on her biochemistry major at UCD because it will take up a lot of her time, and she wouldn't want to become academically ineligible if she was doing athletics as well.
"Swimming is something I've always done, so I decided I wanted to do it in college," Krajnovic said.
Krajnovic holds records in CRC's early swim program's record books. She is the current leader in the 50, 100 and 200 meter breast-stroke events along with a shared 200 medley relay team record.
With the swim team traveling to events outside of the area, Krajnovic said it's better for her to get a lot of her homework done on the long trips.
She said that with her three-hour daily practices for swim, school and work she would generally push homework until the weekend if she was able too.
Krajnovic said swim Head Coach Liz Abrams was her main support system.
She said that her support system came from the emails and recommendation letters that Abrams sent. She was always there to listen to about anything, including things not related to swim.
"Last year I didn't have a hard time balancing my time like I am this year," Krajnovic said.
She said even though she won't be competing anymore, she learned that pain is temporary whether it is in the pool or in our everyday life.
