Join the Ben Hur Shriners, The Blood Center and the Texas Fire Marshal,

Saturday, September 6. 2008 at the Ben Hur Shrine Center located at 7811 Rockwood

Drive, Austin for a Day of Caring and Sharing – Save a Life.

From 10-2 PM The Blood Center will be in the Multi-purpose room at the Shrine Center taking Blood Donations to help benefit the Shriners’ Hospitals for Children Burn Hospital in Galveston. The units of blood collected will also be benefiting the Austin community and surrounding area.

And that’s not all. The State Fire Marshal’s Fire Safety House will be on the scene teaching kids and adults fire safety in the home. The Austin Fire Department will also have a Fire Truck on site.

The Shriners’ Hospitals for Children Traveling Van will be there as well; providing the

Austin community the opportunity to learn more about what the Shriners’ Hospitals for Children do.

Don’t miss this opportunity to help the children. Give to those currently in need and maybe even help educate your child so they won’t one day be in need of the Shriners Hospitals for Children Burn Hospital services.

You just might save a life by participating in this event Saturday, Sept. 6^that the Ben Hur Shrine center at 7811 Rockwood Drive in Austin. Bring your family and friends.

The Ben Hur Shrine Clowns will be on hand waiting to greet you.

More Cowbell! Record Production using Google Forms and Charts

First, the what : This article shows how to embed a new Google Form into any web page. To demonstrate ths, a chart and form that allow blog readers to control the recording levels of each instrument in Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" is used. HTML code from the Google version of the form included on this page is shown and the parts that need to be modified are highlighted. Next, the why : Google recently released an e-mail form feature that allows users of Google Documents to create an e-mail a form that automatically places each user's input into an associated spreadsheet. As it turns out, with a little bit of work, the forms that are created by Google Docs can be embedded into any web page.

Cool Math Tricks: Deriving the Divergence, (Del or Nabla) into New (Cylindrical) Coordinate Systems

Now available as a Kindle ebook for 99 cents ! Get a spiffy ebook, and fund more physics The following is a pretty lengthy procedure, but converting the divergence, (nabla, del) operator between coordinate systems comes up pretty often. While there are tables for converting between common coordinate systems , there seem to be fewer explanations of the procedure for deriving the conversion, so here goes! What do we actually want? To convert the Cartesian nabla to the nabla for another coordinate system, say… cylindrical coordinates. What we’ll need: 1. The Cartesian Nabla: 2. A set of equations relating the Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical coordinates: 3. A set of equations relating the Cartesian basis vectors to the basis vectors of the new coordinate system: How to do it: Use the chain rule for differentiation to convert the derivatives with respect to the Cartesian variables to derivatives with respect to the cylindrical variables. The chain

The Valentine's Day Magnetic Monopole

There's an assymetry to the form of the two Maxwell's equations shown in picture 1. While the divergence of the electric field is proportional to the electric charge density at a given point, the divergence of the magnetic field is equal to zero. This is typically explained in the following way. While we know that electrons, the fundamental electric charge carriers exist, evidence seems to indicate that magnetic monopoles, the particles that would carry magnetic 'charge', either don't exist, or, the energies required to create them are so high that they are exceedingly rare. That doesn't stop us from looking for them though! Keeping with the theme of Fairbank[1] and his academic progeny over the semester break, today's post is about the discovery of a magnetic monopole candidate event by one of the Fairbank's graduate students, Blas Cabrera[2]. Cabrera was utilizing a loop type of magnetic monopole detector. Its operation is in concept very sim
