Participant[quote=Fearful]What do you expect from CNN. “Linear equations”? “Matrix calculus”? I did my undergrad in physics, and I have to say I could not explain to someone what a linear equation is and how it is different from a non linear equation. Matrix calculus? I suppose I probably would know it if I saw it, but the name does not ring a bell.[/quote]
How about Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus.. they do exist. I can Xerox the cover of some text books. I suspect that the CNN writers decided to exaggerate the field to make the teacher look more ‘special’. I also suspect that the salaries were listed as below the actual. Something is definitely screwy in the article.http://www.fldoe.org/eias/eiaspubs/pdf/tchsal10.pdf
http://teacherportal.com/salary/Florida-teacher-salaryI noted a good percentage of Masters degrees, but there was no correlation between salaries and what field of study that the Masters was done in, nor what field they were teaching.
NOTE: Starting salary is listed as $33K, Average salary is $46K.[quote=Fearful]It’s “Caltech”, by the way.[/quote]
Unless he is talking about this group: http://www.caltech.com/Pages/Default.aspxThe mis-capitalization is understandable considering that Caltech stands for “California Institute of Technology”.. which incidentally includes JPL.(http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/)

Participant[quote=desmond]I quite the novice on this stuff but I am sure I did not screw that up. I’ll keep trying. I just got a Nikon s9100 so I am making some videos with music, here is one from this weekend, I need a lot of work.

On SLRs, you can help reduce camera shake by holding your hands closer together on the camera. It is a sharp-shooter’s trick. With a rifle (lets say right hand-right eye’d) you move your left hand to just beyond the trigger. It slows down the rate of the shake to just slow movement. If you are holding the camera body with the right hand, left hand on the telephoto lens, move your left hand as close as possible to the camera body.Since the s9100 is a point and shoot, you can try pressing the side of the camera against a tree to steady it when using telephoto, or if you can get down to one knee, use the other knee to rest the bottom of the camera on. If you need to aim up and down, try placing one finger between the side of the camera and the tree and then pressing the camera into the finger and onto the tree. The top of a walking stick works also (trekking poles too).. Its kind of like an improvised tripod.
Have fun!

1. How long does it take to hike the trail for an average person?
Depends upon from where to where. Are you going one way? Where are you starting? Going from the parking lot off of Sorrento Valley Blvd up to the Black Mountain Road and back, you are probably looking at 6 hours unless you really like to hoof-it.2. If I decide to bike, can I ride in my Road Bike or do I need a Mountain Bike?
Has to be a Mountain Bike. You are on dirt, some of it soft, some rocky. You’ll destroy the tires and rims on a road bike.3. Where are the access points along Sorrento Valley Blvd and Calle Cristobal?
There are ‘informal’ drop down points, but there are also formal.- Left side(west side) off of Camino Ruiz Park, just after the entrance. As noted earlier, there are some very steep part of the trail, I would not recommend trying to ride up it, riding down is a little tricky. You have to carefully camp out on the brakes and there are many low branches etc. I wonder who the heck laid out this part of the trail. It really needs to be redone. At the bottom you can head down towards the Sorrento Valley Blvd entrance or up to the Black Mountain.
- Sorrento Valley Road. There is a steep up then steep down after going under Sorrento Valley-Calle Cristobal. Then there is a short segment of trail heading down and the longer part of it heading up towards Black Mountain.
- From the Black Mountain Road parking lot, you can head down towards Sorrento Valley or up under the 15 towards Penasquitos/Poway. If you park at Canyonside Community Park, it is harder to go up the canyon, but you can travel down the north side of the canyon. From the Black Mountain Road Parking lot, you can easily go both ways.
- From Cara Way, off of 15, you can head down towards Black Mountain or further up North.
- From Creekside Elementary, you can head down towards Black Mountain or further up. I have not yet traveled further up the trail from this point. From what I see of the satellite, it may be hard to navigate due to fading trails and branching in the trail.
4. If you have biked or hiked this canyon, did you enjoy it?
Did both, I now prefer biking it. Walking it seems sooo sloooww. I wish I could go in there when there is more water, the falls would be nice to look at with more water. The problem is that the part of the canyon below the falls is nearly at the level of the stream.. so it gets flooded after a rainParticipant@jimmyle

When animal control officers like Levy respond to bite cases, they aren’t focused on breed. “All dogs can bite,” Levy said, and the numbers back him up: 125 breeds were responsible for at least one attack last year.
