The best example I can think of in describing what a gravity wave looks like is to think of a rock being thrown into a pond. Ripples or circles migrate from the point the rock hits the water. An up and down motion is created. With increasing distance from the point where the rock hit the water, the waves becomes less defined (the waves are dampening). Now let's look at what a gravity wave is in the atmosphere. To start a gravity wave, a TRIGGER mechanism must cause the air to be displaced in the vertical. Examples of trigger mechanisms that produce gravity waves are mountains and thunderstorm updrafts. To generate a gravity wave, the air mus emmineb Tue, 29 May 2007 13:42:36 GMT http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-letter20sep20,1,226790.story BAGHDAD — On a recent Sunday, I was buying groceries in my beloved Amariya neighborhood in western Baghdad when I heard the sound of an AK-47 for about three seconds. It was close but not very close, so I continued shopping. As I took a right turn on Munadhama Street, I saw a man lying on the ground in a small pool of blood. He wasn't dead. The idea of stopping to help or to take him to a hospital crossed my mind, but I didn't dare. Cars passed without stopping. Pedestrians and shop owners kept doing what they were doing, pretending nothing had happened. emmineb Thu, 21 Sep 2006 11:05:17 GMT http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default.asp?tfp_region=Eu Today's Front Pages | Gallery View of daily front pages of 555 papers in 55 countries emmineb Mon, 05 Feb 2007 01:57:56 GMT http://oedb.org/library/features/best-online-research-sites Artcyclopedia.

It's so cool. And yet it's not. What we lose with our constant connectedness. Don't get me wrong. I love technology. It's magical how it makes the world closer, and more immediate. Take, for instance, the real-time way we learned about the plane that skidded off a Denver runway and burst into flames in December. One of the passengers on Continental Flight 1404 used Twitter to share everything from his initial profanity- and typo-laced reaction to making it out of the fiery jet ("Holy [bleeping bleep] I wasbjust in a plane crash!") to his lament that the airline wasn't providing drinks to the survivors who'd been penned into the airport lounge ("You have your wits scared out of you, dra emmineb Sat, 14 Feb 2009 09:43:54 GMT http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=3806949 First the biases. Three Common Psychological Biases 1. The "availability heuristic" is the pronounced tendency of people to view any story through the lens of a superficially similar story that comes easily to mind or is psychologically available. For this reason, much of politics revolves around strengthening this tendency by keeping a preferred narrative uppermost in people's minds. It doesn't take too keen a political instinct, for example, to realize that some politicians' incessant invoking of 9/11 is an effort to keep it psychologically available, to help it color every aspect of the political agenda. emmineb Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:48:30 GMT
