Open and Airway PLEASE!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatima_Cigarettes True, the poor little Iraqi girl's brother played a trick on her putting the gun to her ear and pulling the trigger. Poor little bastard. It must have surprised the hell out of him. There, you deserved it, Fatima. And true, CNN was there, at the army hospital when a scant 30 minutes later the child was carried in, not breathing. God HELP US! The young army Doctor sprang to his feet and we saw him run to care for the six year old as they lay her on the gurney, dot scramble blur to protect her innocence, as he opened an airway for her to breath. [These things happen so quickly. Good editing CNN]. Zooming in we peer into her aural cavity and hear the Doctor proclaim, Yes, there it is. The nurses bandage her head. Completely. It's not until we we witness the poor Doctor on the phone to his superior, describing the wound, and identifying the bullet's passing through her brain stem that no, there is no hope for her. One may have guessed. Such a story we will never see or hear on Al Jazeera. Thankyou for protecting our better sensibilities, Mr. Munster. Why do I feel fed? Why do I feel blind? Why do I feel outrage? Why do I feel disgust? Why do I feel contempt? Why do I feel astonished? Why do I feel to cry? Why can't I puke? Could it be the multi-million eyes and ears of ignorance? Or, that they warned us the broadcast contained graphic scenes not for the faint of heart? WAKE THE FUCK UP! You need a smoke!

I have tried different naming conventions and that process failed miserably for me. There's never enough in the name to really convey what is contained within. So for the past 2-3 years, I have been going with nothing but TIMESTAMPS. Each file is named after the Year/Month/Date/Time that it was created. My recording software does this automatically, so it's easy, and having a stamped time on the file makes it much easier when I come to questions like, What was that recording I did right around Halloween of 2005? It's more useful for me than any other way, and it helps maintain a chronological record. Not sure if that would be a viable naming convention for you and your working processes, but it's the only way that seems to work for me.

I'll be at the Openport festival in Chicago the end of the month, doing a symposium, talk, two performances. So I'm attempting to organize files for the last, and it's difficult. I narrowed the video/ audio work to 900 files - and these are edited from the mass of my video/ audio work in general, running I think around 2500. I've placed the files in two folders, Performance 1 / 2. The names (titles) of the files convey nothing. I'm still naming from the film years when one produced pieces with such. So there are 900 names, and I forget what most of these things are. It's not even easy to tell by extension - there are sound files for example ending as .mp4, and some of the .mov are set for no framework and loop; these are most often converted .mp4 in disguise. The problem with .mp4 in performance - the compression uses a lot of CPU cycles; the result is that it's actually more difficult to run a number of parallel .mp4 files (which are quite small) than to run the same from the original very large .mov or .avi files. Thumbnails won't do - they would be too difficult to manage, would clutter up the screen, wouldn't handle audio. I think of code - G for Geneva, D for dance, GG for Gruyere, GA for Aletsch glacier work - but then the individual pieces are still left behind. I've tried brief 2-3 word descriptions in the titles, but that doesn't seem to help; there are variations, some of the work is indescribable in terms of a few words, and so forth. In any case, the directories have to be on the screen when I'm performing - that's the whole point of it - the ability to choose video/ audio on the fly. I'm not sure where to take this - memorizing indices, mnemonics ... The total number of still images that I work with (i.e. not family) is about 1. The total of everything is probably around 14000. I swim in these. I need a directory structure for everything, coupled with a search engine; I need keywords and a way to delimit and present files during performance; I need a system which is easily understandable on the fly. I'm speaking of approximately 200 gigabytes of material here. I've been sitting going through file after file; it's a real impossibility!

All of these areas are subsetted; they spread like tentacles across my workspace, (in)(co)herent, lost and found; now when I perform, I'm part audience, seeing the (re)presentation for the first time, trying more desperately than ever to hold everything together.

Physics News Update 817
PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News Number 817 March 29, 2007 by Phillip F. Schewe, Ben Stein www.aip.org/pnu SLOW SALT. Through laser cooling it*s relatively easy to cool atoms to microkelvin temperatures. This method is not useful for molecules, which possess a variety of internal vibrational and rotational motions. By indirect methods, however, stationary samples of molecular vapors have been chilled to mK temperatures by cooling molecules in cold helium or by decelerating polar molecules, or to microkelvin temperatures by welding together pairs of already cooled atoms. Another cooling technique employs a spinning beam source whose speed cancels the velocity of the molecules emerging from the source. Molecular speeds down to around 60 m/s have been obtained. Now, two physicists at the Universitat Bielefeld (Germany) have produced a beam of potassium-bromine molecules (essentially a kind of salt) with an average molecular speed of 42 m/s; an estimated 7% of the beam travels even slower than 14 m/s (below 1.4K). At this speed, some of the molecules could be loaded into a trap. The cold KBr molecules are made by sending a beam of K atoms into a counter-propagating beam of HBr molecules where the velocity of both species have to be tuned properly. Within the intersection zone the slow KBr molecules are formed by chemical reaction. There the density of trappable molecules is about two million molecules per cubic centimeter, but the researchers believe this can be increased by a thousandfold. Besides KBr, beams of other heavy salt molecules can be produced (such as CsI) as well as beams of radicals (reactive molecules with unpaired electrons) such as CaBr and BaI. According to Hansjuergen Loesch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), slow molecules are a prerequisite for performing cold chemistry, which would simulate conditions in cold planetary atmospheres or in cold interstellar clouds. If the chemistry is cold enough, new quantum effects might emerge. (Liu and Loesch, Physical Review Letters, 9 March 2007) THE EVER-SHIFTING FACE OF PLUTONIUM. A new theory explains some of the unusual properties of plutonium, the radioactive metal best known for its proclivity to undergo nuclear fission chain reactions, making it a potent fuel for nuclear weapons and power plants. Plutonium is one of the most unusual metals--it's not magnetic and it does not conduct electricity well. The material also changes its size dramatically with even the slightest changes in its temperature and pressure. The atom's unusual set of properties distinguishes it from even its closest neighbors on the periodic table, such as americium. What makes plutonium unique? In the new theory, developed by condensed-matter theorists at Rutgers University in New Jersey, plutonium's eight outermost or valence electrons can circulate among different orbitals, or regions around the atom. In plutonium's 5f orbital, the one with the greatest influence on its atomic properties, the number of valence electrons it contains is most often five (approximately 80% of the time), but can also be six (about 20% of the time) or four (less than 1% of the time), according to the theory. These electrons shuttle in and out of the 5f orbital very quickly--on the order of femtoseconds, or quadrillionths of a second, the researchers say. Plutonium is an example of a strongly correlated material, in which the valence electrons interact with each other to a great degree, and cannot be treated as independent agents. Taking these interactions into account, the researchers combined two theoretical approa ches to solid materials, called the local density approximation and dynamical mean field theory, to come up with their sophisticated analysis. As their analysis shows, the 5f orbital dictates many of plutonium's key properties, such as its lack of conductivity and net magnetism. With their theory, the researchers have also explained the magnetic and electrical properties of americium and curium. They hope their approach will also elucidate the properties of rare-earth elements on the periodic table (Shim et al., Nature, 28 March 2007.) *** PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE is a digest of physics news items arising from physics meetings, physics journals, newspapers and magazines, and other news sources.

Income Gap Is Widening, Data Shows (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 22:00:29 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Income Gap Is Widening, Data Shows Income Gap Is Widening, Data Shows By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON March 29, 2007, The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/business/29tax.html?ei=5065en=f30aed8087a73065ex=1175745600partner=MYWAYpagewanted=print Income inequality grew significantly in 2005, with the top 1 percent of Americans - those with incomes that year of more than $348,000 - receiving their largest share of national income since 1928, analysis of newly released tax data shows. The top 10 percent, roughly those earning more than $100,000, also reached a level of income share not seen since before the Depression. While total reported income in the United States increased almost 9 percent in 2005, the most recent year for which such data is available, average incomes for those in the bottom 90 percent dipped slightly compared with the year before, dropping $172, or 0.6 percent. The gains went largely to the top 1 percent, whose incomes rose to an average of more than $1.1 million each, an increase of more than $139,000, or about 14 percent. The new data also shows that the top 300,000 Americans collectively enjoyed almost as much income as the bottom 150 million Americans. Per person, the top group received 440 times as much as the average person in the bottom half earned, nearly doubling the gap from 1980. Prof. Emmanuel Saez, the University of California, Berkeley, economist who analyzed the Internal Revenue Service data with Prof. Thomas Piketty of the Paris School of Economics, said such growing disparities were significant in terms of social and political stability. 'If the economy is growing but only a few are enjoying the benefits, it goes to our sense of fairness,' Professor Saez said. 'It can have important political consequences.' Last year, according to data from other sources, incomes for average Americans increased for the first time in several years. But because those at the top rely heavily on the stock market and business profits for their income, both of which were strong last year, it is likely that the disparities in 2005 are the same or larger now, Professor Saez said. He noted that the analysis was based on preliminary data and that the highest-income Americans were more likely than others to file their returns late, so his data might understate the growth in inequality. The disparities may be even greater for another reason. The Internal Revenue Service estimates that it is able to accurately tax 99 percent of wage income but that it captures only about 70 percent of business and investment income, most of which flows to upper-income individuals, because not everybody accurately reports such figures. The Bush administration argued that its tax policies, despite cuts that benefited those at the top more than others, had not added to the widening gap but 'made the tax code more progressive, not less.' Brookly McLaughlin, the chief Treasury Department spokeswoman, said that this year 'the share of income taxes paid by lower-income taxpayers will be lower than it would have been without the tax relief, while the share of income taxes for higher-income taxpayers will be higher.' Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr., she noted, has acknowledged that income disparities have increased, but, along with a 'solid consensus' of experts, attributed that shift largely to 'the rapid pace of technological change has been a major driver in the decades-long widening of the income gap in the United States. Others argued that public policies had played a role in the shift. Robert Greenstein, executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, an advocacy group for the poor, said that the data understates the widening disparity between the top 1 percent and the rest of the country. He said that in addition to rising incomes and reduced taxes, the equation should take into account cuts in fringe benefits to workers and in government services that middle-class and poor Americans rely on more than the affluent. These include health care, child care and education spending. 'The nation faces some very tough choices in coming years,' he said. 'That such a large share of the income gains are going to the very top, at a minimum, raises serious questions about continuing to provide tax cuts averaging over $150,000 a year to people making more than a million dollars a year, while saying we do not have enough money' to provide health insurance to 47 million Americans and cutting education benefits. A major issue likely to be debated in Congress in the year ahead is whether reversing the Bush tax cuts would slow investment and, if so, how much that would cost the economy. Mr. Greenstein's organization will release a report today showing that for Americans in the middle, the share of income taken by federal taxes has been essentially
