Matt Labash has regularly regaled us with his incisive wit, self-deprecation, and provocative candor. Blessed with his uncanny ability for extracting comic humanity from even the wariest politicians, con artists, and rogues, as well as for shedding light on the darkest corners of our American experience, Labash is a singular talent, and Fly Fishing with Darth Vader for the first time assembles his best feature writing, showcasing the true breadth of his work.

Labash's masterful profiles of the outsized and outrageous characters who populate America's murky periphery -- Pirate Kingfish Governor Edwin Edwards, Recovering Crackhead Mayor Marion Barry, Dirty Trickster Roger Stone -- are published alongside devastating pieces on the dying cities of our nation such as Detroit and New Orleans. His hilarious tirades on the health hazards of Facebook and the virtues of dodgeball seamlessly segue into stories celebrating such joyous but overlooked pockets of American culture as old-timey gospel and the musicians of the Big Easy's Second Line. He chronicles Al Sharpton's eating habits on the campaign trail, fishes the Snake River with Dick Cheney, and investigates the "great white waste of time" that is our neighbor to the north.

Full of his signature insight and humor and marked by Labash's trenchant grasp of the American scoundrel, Fly Fishing with Darth Vader is the long-awaited debut collection by one of the funniest and most gifted journalists writing today, sure to be cherished and talked about for years to come.

Audible, within, Spectrum, Sound, meters, range, shortest, wavelength

Question by mrchangemporium:

What is the shortest wavelength, in meters, within the audible range of the sound spectrum?

(The frequency of the audible range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz.)
what is the longest wavelength, in meters, of the audible range of the sound spectrum?

Best answer:

Answer by lunchtime_browser
This is just an application of:

velocity = wavelength * frequency

The velocity depends on the medium through which the sound is traveling. If you are assuming it's air, and take the velocity as 340 m/s

This gives a range:

340/20000 = 0.017m to 340/20 = 17 m

What do you think? Answer below!

Taking Inquiry Outdoors: Reading, Writing, and Science Beyond the Classroom

As national attention is focused on students' abilities to read and write effectively, instructional time allotted for science and other content-area disciplines is often decreased. Many teachers have discovered, however, that involving students in meaningful scientific inquiry provides them with authentic and motivating reasons to read, research, and write.

Taking Inquiry Outdoors is written by a group of educators who have used the natural world as a setting for purposeful student learning and critical teacher reflection. Their stories are about more than just stepping out the door, more than offering students a breath of fresh air. For these teachers, the outdoors provides an authentic laboratory that promotes questions, investigations, reading, writing, listening, and sharing. Notes are kept, data collected, questions recorded, and observations documented. Children critically review their own experiences, place these experiences within the larger context of group findings, evaluate and compare data, generalize concepts, and, best of all, come up with new questions to explore.

Contributors to Taking Inquiry Outdoors reflect on children and learning, on teaching, on science made understandable through reading, hands-on investigations, and writing. Their work will appeal to all elementary and middle school teachers who want to integrate reading, writing, and research across the elementary and middle school curriculum.
