 A Reading of President Packer’s “Presiding in the Home”

During a great discussion of our most recent general conference, one very bright young woman in my class sincerely asked, “President Packer said that ‘the father presides at the table’ – and I just want to know what that means.” A very lively discussion ensued. The women in the classroom sat very still, intently listening, but unwillingly to chime in as a barrage of answers were given by the men – ranging from the mildly to the wildly sexist

 Contest Conclusion!

As of May 18, I owned 403 Prismacolor pencils. That means that Ophelia’s guess of 400 from the very first day was the closest one. Congratulations Ophelia — pick out a black and white dress (any of them, not just the most recent) and tell me how you want me to color it! Thanks to everyone else for guessing! I’m sorry I made it go on so long, though… Brian made this chart of what the votes looked like

 Tip of the Day: Lower the deck when cleaning your mower or tractor

A washout port simplifies cleaning a mower deck. You can make your lawn mower or tractor work more effectively and extend the life of its deck by cleaning off grass clippings, dirt, and debris from the underside of the deck, preferably after each use and especially if your yard is damp when you mow.

 Wheels within wheels – the scientific lifecycle

An oft-repeated message from scientists involved with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), mapping the human genome, the search for extraterrestrial life and other vast scientific projects, such as supercomputing experiments is that the tera-bytes, peta-bytes, perhaps even the yotta-bytes of data generated by large-scale projects is hard to handle, to say the least. Not only has there to be a way to manage the outpouring of data from the sensors, monitors, and arrays, but this data has to be channelled through the appropriate digital conduits, dumped into robust databases, processed in parallel, and finally interpreted by the scientists themselves. Only then can DNA be fully unravelled, ET phoned home about, and god in the particles revealed… A team at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Fluminense Federal University in Brazil hope to one day help big science address this big problem by finding ways to manage the scientific workflow on large-scale experiments.
