So, the problem is that there is so much of it, you would think we'd see it perturbing stallar orbits more, it it were concentated in many, many discrete points of star gravitational influence. There would be a lot more stars orbiting pulsar type objects, perhaps?
A real cosmologist would know the odds of the galaxy looking the way it does if all the extra mass were in scattered black holes of a certain size. Probably low.
Too bad almost none of the commentators understand common facts about sports physiology and pharmacology. For example, the CORTICOsteroids given the tennis players for injuries would tend to make them weaker, not stronger (it is the ANDROGEN type steroids that are used by dopers), And it's dubious that Ritalin would help a gymnast, though it might an endurance athlete.
Looking at the details, it looks like the positives in the US database were related to treament of injuries plus one gymnast with an ADHD diagnosis. Whereas, as far as we can tell, the Russian athletes were being dosed with more conventional doping agents that have no general use in Russia for non-athletes, and were forbidden to be tested for exactly that reason.
So I see the hack results as so far posted as a vindication for the US Olympic teams. Either they were remarkably clean or they were unusually good at hiding any doping that actually went on. Upright living (and avoiding doing vandalism if you are a swimmer) can be an excellent defense against scandal.
Some said that Gore's Botox treatment of his aging forehead and crowsfeet wrinkles made his facial expressions look fake on TV, and lost him many thousands of votes in the presidential election.
Cattle in Texas plus cattle in Nebraska: 11,700,000 + 6,250,000 = 17,950,000 Methane output per year per cow per Google: about 95 kg per year, or 8 kg per month
Therefore, Texas plus Nebraska cattle make about 143,600,000 kg = 143,000 metric tons of methane per month. And there are a lot more cattle in other Western states.
The spill was of 98,000 tons, or 98,000,000 kg....you are welcome:)
I'd suspect there is more methane released by the cattle on the ranches of the US West in a month than was released by this background noise blip of a "disaster".
Remember back in the Jobs days when Apple sold music with digital rights (mis)management? Back then, they would re-update iTunes to re-encrypt every time the music player's encryption dll was (re)cracked.
So now it's a new decade, but same old same old cat-and-mouse game, except that:
This time it's Apple doing the cat and mouse game with its own people:).
That those prehistoric people were probably at least as intelligent as the average slashdotter, and they likely spent decades testing, reviewing, debating, and verbally sharing various hunting skills. It's likely that they had many ways of crippling or killing large game other than the ones we can see by marks left on old bones.
Thanks for the correction and reference. The original news posting is fluff, without any reference to the biological literature, so I though the cure was new enough to be seen in a one-year search radius, and missed the 2012 paper--my bad.
Since the water carrying ability of saturated air goes up with temperature, there should be a trend toward heavier rainfall with temperature increases. Of course, places that are in a "rain shadow" like most deserts would not be expected to benefit as much as places near large bodies of water.
...to the one using the hammer, there is a tendency for everything to look like a nail. Identifying fMRI correlates may not actually indicate the number of cognitive components in play, any more than counting the number and location of gasoline stations tells us much detail of what people in a city are doing. At most, it gives us some useful hints.
The only way this could work is if the electrodes can be made much,much thinner than paper thin, and even then they might irritate nearby tissue. It's a huge technical challenge. Better to use a smaller electrode surface area and train the patient to signal to the electrodes.
The topography of the zoning and building layout matter. Consider two neighborhoods which are 2-mile squares in shape. One neighborhood has a commercial district in a single corner, the other neighborhood has two such districts at opposite corners of its square. The second neighborhood may score twice as walkable, but what matters to the home's individual walkableness is how close it sits to one of those districts, since you presumably want to walk to the store and to an office in a corner that has a commercial district.
Choose a place you would like to walk, shop and work, then find a home located within a walking distance from those places, and you may have MANY good options, more than your zone-based averaging will reveal.

Lavabit, assuming the calendar years fit the redacted docs.
This willful display of continued ignorance as to the different kinds of steroids does prove my point above.

Why not use google and a calculator yourself? Anyway,

Biggest cow states: Texas and Nebraska.
Cattle in Texas plus cattle in Nebraska: 11,700,000 + 6,250,000 = 17,950,000
Methane output per year per cow per Google: about 95 kg per year, or 8 kg per month
Therefore, Texas plus Nebraska cattle make about 143,600,000 kg = 143,000 metric tons of methane per month. And there are a lot more cattle in other Western states.

Here's the google map of the Yenisei Gulf in Russia:

If you use the Google Maps measure distance feature to measure distance to 90,0 on the map you get about 2000 km.
This is why the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement should never be ratified.
That comment's off by over a factor of 10:
(1 / 0.114) = 8.77 decades per degree or 87.7 years per degree.

I think most students who are savvy enough to use Coursera ought to be able to create a student-only email account for the purpose.
