The Exact Location of the Soul: New and Selected Essays
The Exact Location of the Soul: New and Selected Essays Over three decades, Richard Selzer has brought his skills as a surgeon to the page, wrestling powerful descriptions of pain and deliverance into words. This collection gathers representative writings from the whole of his career, including set pieces like the four-part "Letter to a Young Surgeon" and frequently anthologized essays on such delicate matters as delivering the news of a death to loved ones (and what happens to the corpse afterward).

Death is a constant theme in these essays, for "only in literature do the dead have a voice." Selzer has a marked talent for removing some of the mystery and fear from what is, after all, an inevitable process. He is also superb at describing such routine events of the surgical theater as the scrubbing of hands, the proper and improper functioning of blood and organs, and the instantaneous decisions that a doctor must make during a normal day. Selzer's style is often ornate--"What heartbroken psoriatic, surveying his embattled skin," he writes, "would not volunteer for an unanesthetized flaying could it but rid him of his pink sequins, his silver spangles?"--and not to every taste, but his gentle reflections on human frailty afford a revealing view of the practice of medicine, which Selzer clearly loves. "Say what you will about writing," he notes, "there is no more thrilling an achievement than the successful completion of a difficult surgical dissection." --Gregory McNamee

From the supplier: A study on customer clustering was done to determine its impact on facility location and transport costing error. Costing error was affected by shipment size, number of facilities to be located and maximum cluster size in systems where 100-200 customer clusters are used. Limiting the cluster size is advantageous because it allows cluster size to increase and maintains a cluster center that is close to customer concentrations. Results also showed that the minimum number of clusters in a location analysis should parallel the number of facilities located in a network.

Open Question: Basic English plz helllllppp thanks?
1. What was the main purpose of the Iroquois Constitution? to explain Iroquois customs to propose a moral guide to establish a form of government to record important events 2. Which of the following is a true statement about a myth? Myths are usually about everyday people and their daily lives. All myths attempt to explain the origin of earthly life. Myths often feature immortal beings. Myths rarely convey cultural values. 3. What is the main reason that Columbus kept his Journal of the First Voyage to America? to pinpoint exact locations for future mapmakers to describe the expedition to his patrons to convince Ferdinand and Isabella that he had found Asia to convince others of the validity of Spain's claims in the New World 4. Which of these reasons does NOT help explain why journals can be unreliable? The writer may be writing to persuade an audience. The writer's impressions color the telling of events. It is a record of personal reactions. It provides details that can only be supplied by an eyewitness. 5. In William Bradford's "Of Plymouth Plantation," the settlers' attitude toward the Native Americans changes from respectful to disparaging friendly to antagonistic indifferent to cautious suspicious to appreciative 6. In Poor Richard's Almanack, Ben Franklin included short sayings with a message called anecdotes. themes. aphorisms. essays. 7. The main purpose of Patrick Henry's speech in the Virginia Convention is to convince the colonists that Britain will not fight. maintain peace in America at all costs. persuade the colonists to enter into war against Britain. persuade his audience that he would make a good president. 8. Which technique of speeches does Henry use in the sentence "Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?" repetition parallelism rhetorical question restatement 9. The main lesson of the "The Devil and Tom Walker" is that greed and mean-spiritedness lead to misery. husbands and wives should love each other. prayer can erase all past sins. great wealth can never produce happiness. 10. Which statement expresses a central theme of "The Fall of the House of Usher"? Too much contact with the world leads to a distortion of reality. Isolation of the mind leads to death of the body. A person cut off from the world can fall prey to irrational fears and mental illness. The mind cannot affect the body in any way. (more...)

Voting Question: Where possible to set up a nonpublic, invitation-only journal, w. no ads, & can archive wkly, mo, & yrly pages?
I want to set up a writer?s share space for a small group of people who are nonbloggers and not comfortable going online. There would need to be a theme, then others respond to the daily theme, and the next day would need a new entry. All invited Friends would need to see everyone else?s writings as well as their own. Is there any private (invited Friends Only) see-share journal website location with no ads, easy-to-read format and user friendly (i.e., friends don?t have to set up passwords and journals themselves), nice design layout for connected theme-based writing samples, and able to store weekly, monthly, and yearly pages into a linked (collapsed) archive? I also would like to have a hyperlink to a resource website location. Thanks very much. I need to set this up ASAP. (more...)

Resolved Question: Is there a website to see where all or many US Chrysler dealerships are having a sale?
I just read in the Wall Street Journal that Chrysler is going to start charging their dealership fees for unsold new and used cars. Many dealerships say that they will have to start selling cars at a loss in order to stay in business. I'm not in the market for a new car, but if the deal is right I might buy. However, it would be nice to have one central location that lists dealerships that are having sales or individual car listings. A national site would be great, because I don't mind going out of state if the deal is right. I'm not too far away from Michigan, where I bet, there will be the most amount of cars being sold at rock bottom prices. (more...)

Voting Question: what do you think about Predicting Apophis' Earth Encounters in 2029 and 2036 ?
SUMMARY Researchers at NASA/JPL, Caltech, and Arecibo Observatory have released the results of radar observations of the potentially hazardous asteroid 99942 Apophis, along with an in-depth analysis of its motion. The research will affect how and when scientists measure, predict, or consider modifying the asteroid's motion. The paper has been accepted for publication in the science journal "Icarus" and was presented at the AAS/DPS conference in Orlando, Florida in October of 2007. The Apophis study was led by Jon Giorgini, a senior analyst in JPL's Solar System Dynamics group and member of the radar team that observed Apophis. The analysis of Apophis previews situations likely to be encountered with NEAs yet to be discovered: a close approach that is not dangerous (like Apophis in 2029) nonetheless close enough to obscure the proximity and the danger of a later approach (like Apophis in 2036) by amplifying trajectory prediction uncertainties caused by difficult-to-observe physical characteristics interacting with solar radiation as well as other factors. BACKGROUND Upon its discovery in 2004, Apophis was briefly estimated to have a 2.7% chance of impacting the Earth in 2029. Additional measurements later showed there was no impact risk at that time from the 210-330 meter (690-1080 foot) diameter object, identified spectroscopically as an Sq type similar to LL chondritic meteorites. However, there will be a historically close approach to the Earth, estimated to be a 1 in 800 year event (on average, for an object of that size). Arecibo Radar Image of Apophis Apophis Position Uncertainty The Arecibo planetary radar telescope subsequently detected the asteroid at distances of 27-40 million km (17-25 million miles; 0.192-0.268 AU) in 2005 and 2006. Polarization ratios indicate Apophis appears to be smoother than most NEAs at 13-cm scales. Including the high precision radar measurements in a new orbit solution reduced the uncertainty in Apophis' predicted location in 2029 by 98%. While trajectory knowledge was substantially corrected by the Arecibo data, a small estimated chance of impact (less than 1 in 45,000 using standard dynamical models) remained for April 13, 2036. With Apophis probably too close to the Sun to be measured by optical telescopes until 2011, and too distant for useful radar measurement until 2013, the underlying physics of Apophis' motion were considered to better understand the hazard. RESULTS OF THE STUDY (1) Extending the "Standard Dynamical Model" Trajectory predictions for asteroids are normally based on a standard model of the solar system that includes the gravity of the Sun, Moon, other planets, and the three largest asteroids. However, additional factors can influence the predicted motion in ways that depend on rarely known details, such as the spin of the asteroid, its mass, the way it reflects and absorbs sun-light, radiates heat, and the gravitational pull of other asteroids passing nearby. These were examined, along with the effect of Earth's non-uniform gravity field during encounters, and limitations of the computer hardware performing the calculations. One would normally look for the influence of such factors as they gradually alter the trajectory over years. But, for Apophis, the changes remain small until amplified by passage through Earth's gravity field during the historically close approach in 2029. For example, the team found solar energy can cause between 20 and 740 km (12 and 460 miles) of position change over the next 22 years leading into the 2029 Earth encounter. But, only 7 years later, the effect on Apophis' predicted position can grow to between 520,000 and 30 million km (323,000 and 18.6 million miles; 0.0035-0.2 AU). This range makes it difficult to predict if Apophis will even have a close encounter with Earth in 2036 when the orbital paths intersect. Present era through 2029 Small factors 2029-2036 It was found that small uncertainties in the masses and positions of the planets and Sun can cause up to 23 Earth radii of prediction error for Apophis by 2036. The standard model of the Earth as a point mass can introduce up to 2.9 Earth radii of prediction error by 2036; at least the Earth's oblateness must be considered to predict an impact. The gravity of other asteroids can cause up to 2.3 Earth radii of prediction uncertainty for Apophis. By considering the range of Apophis' physical characteristics and these error sources, it was determined what observations prior to 2029 will most effectively reduce prediction uncertainties. Observing criteria were developed that, if satisfied, could permit eliminating the 2036 impact possibility without further physical characterization of Apophis. Such observations could reduce the need for a visit by an expensive spacecraft and reduce the risk of Apophis being prematurely eliminated as a hazard under the standard model, only to drift b (more...)
