...Bell and the Butterfly? The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death is written by the late Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby and I really, really want to read it.
Why do you suppose that Jean leaves the description of the day he suffered the stroke until the end of the book? What effect does the suspension of this information have on the reader's impression of Jean?
Jean does not say that he is divorced from Sylvie, but he has taken up residence with...
Being that both of these are in my top 3 most addictive hobbies (flying is #1) how would you compare the safety overall of snowmobiling to rec diving---lets say no deeper than 80-100 feet and always in open water where you can ascend directly to the surface.
I guess the best measurement of...
Being that both of these are in my top 3 most addictive hobbies (flying is #1) how would you compare the safety overall of snowmobiling to recreational scuba diving no deeper than 80 feet and never in an overhead environment (eg. wreck or cave) where you can not ascend to surface directly in an...
The holiday season is a time for giving. Thus it was that Stephane Da Costa of the AHL Binghamton Senators was given a fortuitous bounce of the puck on Friday night against the Rochester Americans.
Alas, Amerks goalie David Leggio was not in the holiday spirit and Grinch’d him, resulting a...
Yesterday, CBS Sunday Morning ran a segment about "Rescuing food to fight hunger," and while this is an admirable goal, sourcing food from the garbage--food that is not good enough for you or I to eat--and giving it to the poor is not so admirable. In fact, giving the needy our "leftovers" can...
Prior to Sunday's Merseyside derby, Everton manager David Moyes antagonized Liverpool's Luis Suarez, who has officially become The Only Player to Ever Dive in recent weeks, by saying he was concerned that the Uruguayan striker would fool the referee. But before Suarez could do that, he helped...
The list of candidates for baseball's play of year grew by one on Saturday.
We take you to Marlins Ballpark in Miami, where the Toronto Blue Jays used a six-run ninth inning — highlighted by Edwin Encarnacion's two-run homer and Colby Rasmus' grand slam — to earn a 7-1 win over the Miami...
Any diver returning from ocean depths knows about the hazard of decompression sickness (DCS) or "the bends." As the diver ascends and the ocean pressure decreases, gases that were absorbed by the body during the dive, come out of solution and, if the ascent is too rapid, can cause bubbles to...
...of 167 m.? An evacuated spherical diving bell containing a camera is in the ocean at a depth of 167 m. It has a flat, transparent, circular port with a diameter of 17.5 cm. Find the magnitude of the total force on the port (use rseawater) = 1025 kg/m3).
ST. LOUIS — You know what Miguel Cabrera did to Mike Napoli on Wednesday?
Yeah, Jerry Hairston did the complete opposite of that to Yadier Molina on Thursday.
While Detroit's plodding slugger*tried to steamroll Napoli and was called out for his efforts, Milwaukee's nimble utility man managed...

Continuing their U.S. tour in Florida, several members of the Barcelona squad (including Sergio Busquets) visited the Miami Seaquarium for a special training session with world-renowned diving experts, dolphins. The session -- led by professional dolphins Echo, Ripley and Croix -- will...

I had been scuba diving for quite some time. I love everything about it such as venturing out the ocean and learning about science. Not only for the science, but for the pure beauty of the ocean itself. The whole ocean is one big ecosystem that accomodates a wide array of species. It's a very...
...water level inside changes so that? A diving bell is a container open at the bottom. As the bell descends, the water level inside changes so that the pressure inside equals the pressure outside. Initially, the volume of air is 8.82 m3 at 1.020 atm and 20°C. What is the volume at 1.440 atm and...
