I'd change the cabinet meeting room a bit.
~Replace seats with sensory deprivation chambers
~Replace the cabinet with the IBM Gene/Q "Mira, a 10 peta-flop supercomputer, and name it Woodrow.
~Turn the basketball court into a miniature horse arena tended by a newly-appointed staff of performers from Cirque Du Soleil

WTFU, Schlep Labs and The Great Schlep are all projects of JCER.

http://jcer.info/about_us

"The Jewish Council for Education & Research (JCER), a federal Super PAC, was created to develop and disseminate information to voters in the United States around issues of concern to the Jewish community. In 2012, JCER is supporting President Barack Obama’s re-election effort with a series of high-profile initiatives in the spirit of the The Great Schlep. JCER will confront the scare tactics used to peel away Jewish voters from the Obama campaign and reenergize those in his base whose enthusiasm may have diminished from four years ago. Recognizing that the Jewish community is not one-size-fits-all, JCER is creating cross-platform initiatives to develop the community’s narrative about Obama and to shore up support for his campaign in key swing states.

It is thought that a hot bow-wave of compressed plasma/gas is the cause of the tail; the bow-wave is a result of the interaction of the stellar wind from Mira A with gas in the interstellar space, through which Mira is moving at an extremely high speed of 130 kilometres/second.

Also pretty picture on wiki.

Where are the female directors?

There are women in the Senate, women heading studios and busloads of young women emerging from film school. So why are 96 percent of films directed by men?

not (yet) in my top list but at least some of their films were interesting: Karyn Kusama, Samira Makhmalbaf, Mira Nair, Gurinder Chadha, Catherine Breillat, Mary Harron

Well, mycroft's answer didn't entirely satisfy me, but as I told him, I don't have the technical knowledge to challenge any further. So I shut up then - usually.

The story with the mcdonald clown is that I banned him for self-linking, he created new accounts to harass me, then another to try self-linking again, I banned him again, and that really set him off. Through the use of proxy server and scripting, he began leaving literally thousands of obnoxious comments on my profile - about 6000 or so in the span of a few hours. At that point, it became an issue of abusing the entire site, and the community responded. http://www.videosift.com/topusers?order=new&pg=2 should give you some idea of the level of his maturity and intellect.

Can you help me understand this? I feel like I must be missing something, but damned if I can figure it out.

You can't treat Mira with the same math and logic as a comet, because it produces its own energy.

I wasn't thinking of it like a comet, which does not emit energy (does it?). A comet's tail is created from material being stripped away by solar wind, and is visible because of reflected sunlight, correct?

The question about velocity was not a lack of understanding of basic physics, but a lack of a good description of Mira's linear velocity relative to the material through which it's passing. The wiki article only vaguely mentions it in passing, and notes its radial, not angular, velocity in the sidebar. Thanks for the nasa link, though, as that answers it exactly. It's linear velocity is roughly 130 km/sec, which translates to a distance of roughly 13 light years in 30000 years. Cool - that was the easy part.

But apparently I'm not getting my main question across very clearly. I understand that stars use fusion to generate the energy they are emitting. But the distal end of that tail is 13 light years away from the star and has been emitting UV radiation for over 30000 years. My question is not about the amount of energy released, but the rate at which it is being released. Are you suggesting that excited hydrogen atoms are taking over 30000 years to return to a low energy state without undergoing any other interaction after the star has passed?

A vast amount of energy is transferred to the interstellar hydrogen gas in a fairly short amount of time as Mira zooms by, but then the hydrogen is taking 30000 years to release that energy? That's what I'm not understanding. I mean, if hydrogen atoms can store that much energy for that long, then I'd recommend one of you smart physicist types start looking into hydrogen based batteries!

The simple answer is that it is a star.

Stars, like ours, emit radiation as a result of nuclear fusion. As it moves through space, the radiation creates a bow, where that radiation interacts with hydrogen. My guess is the hydrogen is excited to a higher energy state. When it decays, it emits the ultraviolet light that is whipped around the star in the shape of a tail.

You can't treat Mira with the same math and logic as a comet, because it produces its own energy.
