Did you happen to catch the 11 o'clock news on NBC 10 last night? You probably didn't, because (1) it was the local news and (2) thanks to Olympics coverage, it was delayed 'til sometime after midnight.
Man, did you miss a great show.
It was a little late, so I'm a little fuzzy on the details (and I wasn't home and couldn't capture it). But some of the segments last night were simply amazing. Bookended by commercials were these three stories: A man from Ohio fired from Burger King for sitting in bubble bath in industrial sink and putting it on Myspace, a local swim team who watched Michael Phelps win, and a local kid from some Catholic school who "Goes for the gold!"
This last one was the part of a series, and was of course the longest. It featured glowing interviews with his mom, his aunt and even a nun. The reporter (I think Jamison Uhler) let us know that the little Catholic kid's biggest passion was "supporting the troops."
Anyway, all of this took up a pretty big chunk of the broadcast; the rest was pretty much just weather and sports. And maybe a little on those parents who filed the lawsuit against the city but are also charged their a baby's death. But mainly it was about supporting the troops and Ohio Burger King location scandals. I must say, I hope this 12 o'clock news is a regular thing if it's going to be like this.

Abdul Gaddy (Photo. Kelly Kline)
Jordan had Pippen, Carmelo had Gerry McNamara, and Ronnie Fields had Kevin Garnett (not the other way around). On every level of ball, legit two-man tandems have done work and brought home championships, more so than any single superstar trying to carry the load himself (i.e. LeBron).
This upcoming season there will be some big-time duos in the high school ranks. Perhaps the most notable right now is in Tacoma, Wash., where 2009 point guard Abdul Gaddy and two-guard Avery Bradley coming off a co-MVP showing at last weekends Nike Global Challenge play together in the same backcourt at Bellarmine Prep. Rumor has it the two are looking to play their college ball together.
But down in North Carolina, Word of God Christian could top the Gaddy/Bradley tandem with a recent transfer of their own, arguably the top player in the 2011 class, who will now be teaming up with arguably the best player in the 2009 class.
So who are the best two-man tandems in the country.

It was a long but interesting first day. The agenda was filled with plenary sessions, and the afternoon student poster session/competition.

The workshop was opened by high-energy physicist Hitoshi Murayama of IPMU-Tokyo and UC Berkeley. His talk was on the physics beyond the LHC. Basically he was giving a brief tutorial of high energy physics (both accelerator based and in particle astrophysics) and what to expect beyond the LHC. The motivation here was to give an idea to particle accelerator community what kind of technology that one can start to expect as soon as the first set of results from the LHC comes in.

The one thing that he kept emphasizing, possibly because of the crowd that he was addressing, was that particle accelerators have been THE enabling technology for particle physics. He emphasized that many non-accelerator physics discoveries had to be confirmed, studied, and improved using accelerators.

Murayama then established why the TeV energy scale is so crucial. This is the scale that corresponds to a length scale of 10^-17 cm, which is the scale of the short-ranged weak force. He actually described why the ILC is needed even if the LHC sees signature of the the Higgs (or many different types of Higgs). The ILC would produce a "cleaner" signal to allow high energy physicists to narrow down the Higgs properties that the LHC would find.

All in all, it was an effective "fan mail" from high energy physics community to the accelerator physicists. :)

The second talk in the morning plenary session was by Tor Raubenheimer on the Future R D for Very High Energy Colliders. He basically listed the relevant parameters of the accelerator technology that is needed beyond the LHC. This essentially mirrors the ILC technical report, and the recent P5 report from last June. It boils down to these 2 numbers for the ILC:

1 TeV and luminosity of 1 x 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1

The estimated cost in 2020 dollars (assume an inflation of 3.5%) is $20-25 billion. The majority of the cost (60%) is estimated to be in the main linac section. So the acceleration scheme costs the most. Finding something that can substantially lower the cost of the accelerating section would substantially lower the total cost.

Next to talk was Pisin Chen of Kavli Institute/SLAC on Laboratory Astrophysics. He talked about particle astrophysics, dark matter, and high energy-density physics. He also argued that intense laser field in an electron accelerator can, in fact, probe the Hawking-Unruh effect.

Chris Barty of LLNL described the current status of the Livermore's laser technology (he jokingly described LLNL to not mean Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, but rather Laser, Laser, and Nothing but Laser). He spent quite a bit of time describing the laser system at the National Ignition Facility. That facility is obscenely impressive. I mean, anyone who is familiar with high-powered laser can't help but be impressed by what they have done there. It's just a jaw-dropper of the technical difficulties that they faced and have overcome. He also showed a video on how they actually used a laser with a spot 4 inch x 4 inch and simply melted a thickness of aluminum in seconds! Holy Cow!

Cameron Geddes of LBNL then proceeded next to describe all the progress made in laser-driven plasma wakefield acceleration scheme. This is the scheme that has made significant progress (and publicity) in achieving huge gradients. It is simply amazing the amount of progress that has been accomplished in this field, and they continue to refine the technology. This is a serious contender for the next acceleration scheme in future generation of particle accelerators.

After the lunch break, Wei Gai from Argonne described the Advanced Accelerating Structure and their interactions with electron beam. Basically it reviewed the effect of electrons passing through dielectric-loaded accelerating structure, photonic band-gap structure, and meta-material/left-handed structures.

Tom Katsouleas (who used to be at USC but is now at Duke University) described another type of plasma wakefield scheme. This time, instead of laser driven which was described by Geddes, it is electron-beam driven. This is where a bunch of electron passing through a plasma can create an accelerating wakefield for a witness beam that follows it. The current demonstration has shown the acceleration of an electron bunch from 42 GeV to 85 GeV in 1 m. That's pretty impressive. He also spent time showing a realistic concept of plasma wakefield accelerator for a linear collider, a facility that is being set up at SLAC.

I spent some time going around the student's poster session, which occupied 3 different rooms. The judges were already going around to different posters. Good luck to all the students!

Zz.

Mobility scooters are similar to wheelchairs in the service that they provide. Mobility scooters are personal movement devices that carry a seated individual. They allow you to go places, like shopping or the park, you might have otherwise been unable to do independently.
Mobility scooters feature a chair and a tiller. The tiller consists of a set of handle bars and several different controls. It can be adjusted to a position that is closer or farther from the seat, which makes it able to accommodate people of all sizes. Modern mobility scooters utilize rechargeable electric batteries, but you still occasionally run across a gasoline powered mobility scooter. Gasoline powered mobility scooters can be very dangerous because they get very hot, emit noxious fumes, and are at much greater risk of fire and explosion. You should always purchase a battery powered mobility scooter.
Almost all mobility scooters utilize keyed access. This ensures that your scooter is not used without your permission. They also frequently feature headlights, taillights, and turn indicators, which greatly improve the safety of the device and allow it to be used at night. Many also feature seatbelts, which for added safety should be worn if included. The speed of the mobility scooter can be controlled easily and some have a top speed of over 10 miles per hour, but you do not have to drive it this fast and doing so can reduce the charge of the battery dramatically.
The seat of a mobility scooter can be adjusted in many ways. They typically can be raised up and down, and frequently swivel to the left and right. The swivel feature makes it much easier to enter and exit the device. The arm rests are also frequently adjustable. The width of some can even be adjusted and many can be flipped up.
Those that have difficulty walking or freely moving will greatly benefit from a mobility scooter. They can be used indoors and out and models made by reputable manufacturers, like Golden and Pride, will provide years of trouble free service.

Hello,
I seek the PoPs advice on the 4th of July activities. I have lived in DC for several years but have yet to spend a July 4th in town - it happens that I am usually on summer vacation elsewhere at the time. I have friends coming in and I would like to take them out for drinks and then get them in range to see the fireworks display downtown. What is the farthest out I can be north of the mall and still get a view of the action? Also, what are the bars like down there during the lead-up to the display? I would like to get the drinks close enough to the mix of things to get the 4th of July vibe. However, I would like to avoid the running from over-crowded bar to over-crowded bar up to the fireworks show. Can I strike the delicate balance anywhere downtown (for the sake of the conversation, I am considering Dupont, etc )?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jimmy D.

View the Spalding 88307 Helix Lift Basketball Hoop on our website.

This Basketball System regularly sells online. This system features a 52" acrylic backboard with a Helix lift. This lift allows for easier movement of the hoop up and down. Consumers have enjoyed the ability to raise and lower their basketball hoop, which up until recently had been done via broom stick. This can be hard on your back and almost impossible for younger people to accomplish. The Helix lift from Spalding / Huffy allows you to move the basketball hoop up and down by grabbing a handle and simply pushing up and down.

This basketball hoop has a 3 piece 3.5" diameter pole, which is strong enough to resist aggressive play. Other higher end systems move away from the round pole and go to a more stable square pole. The next basketball hoop above this, quality wise, features a 4" square basketball pole. Nonetheless, this basketball hoop is very stable and suitable for most uses. You would only want to consider a higher end basketball goal if you expected your system would be subject to very aggressive play.

Here are some reviews of this product from other customers.

My son loves the hoop. It was exactly as described and shipped very quickly!
