 rate. That’s pretty good, but it’s not Pauly Paulicap Good. The 6’8” transfer from Manhattan is ranked #39 in the country in block rate right now, and he’s doing ever so slightly better in Big East games (9.1%) than he is overall (8.9%). Paulicap has recorded at least one block in every game this season, even though he has cleared 20 minutes played in just two games. He has started each of DePaul’s last three games, apparently in place of Ongenda who had started each of the first four games of the year.
Marquette Last 10 Games: 5-5, but with wins in three of the last four games.
DePaul Last 10 Games: They’re still three games short of 10 games played this season.
All-Time Series: Marquette leads, 79-48.
Current Streak: Marquette has won eight out of the last 10 games against DePaul. Losing at Wintrust Arena in the final week of last year’s regular season snapped a four game winning streak by the Golden Eagles in the series. They’ve still won nine of the last 12 and 15 of the last 19, though. Don’t lose to DePDo you like your boss? Let’s be honest, a majority of employees will definitely come with a negative answer to this question. Yes, bosses are not always there to be liked. But is there any fun being a boss who is not respected or ineffective at managing staff? Of course not, so let’s have a look at what it takes to be a good boss. Below we share this infographic on how to be a good boss can help you take control without being a controlling monster.

Can entropy create a driving force in preventing the big freeze?
The big freeze is a potential scenario for the end of the universe. Indeed, it is one of the more hearled points of view amongst cosmologists today (needs reference). In this theory, matter diffuses throughout the known universe ever reaching a less interactive (very cold) state. The temperature of the universe reaches a minimum.
The idea: Entropy is always maximized in a closed system tending towards equilibrium, right? The big freeze would be a very low entropic state (perfectly ordered), and thus will never happen due to the second law of thermodynamics.
I think the cosmologists took entropy into account when pondering the 'big freeze'.
It will only be very cold locally; 'globally' speaking energy will be conserved and entropy will have increased.
There's a semantic problem here. Once the universe reaches total uniformity, as in the big freeze, it will be in a state of perfect equilibrium--no part will be different from any other part, so no part will have any reason to change its state. Thus, entropy is in fact maximized.
[marked-for-deletion...nah] Wikipedia has an article on this, but it's a theory, not a bakery idea.
See, this is what I don't understand. I see the big freeze bieng very cold through and through.
Really, I just highly doubt the universe would let itself go like this. Put up a fight, universe! Do some crunches, get in shape!
The point is that heat is very similar to marmalade. Temperature, on the other hand, is formally equivalent to "marmaladiness". And, naturally, the universe is equivalent to a slice of wheatgerm crusty bread which, in an un-breadlike way, is expanding. Hence, although the total amount of marmalade in the universe remains constant, the marmalidiness of the universe will decrease. I think that will clarify matters for you.
That makes perfect sense [MB]. Thanks, I shall remember that!.
What [5th Earth] said.. The semantic problem is that 'perfectly ordered' does not necessarily mean 'Low Entropy'.
I suspect that the idea is that 'perfectly homogenised' = High Entropy.
Throw a jar of marmalade in the air and see what happens.
Entropy is a direct measure of the order in a system. I don't understand it otherwise.
[MaxB]: That is superb. I only wish that my 6th year Chem & Physics teachers had used breakfast items to describe the universe - I'd have understood immediately.
Electron spin is like Lucky Charms...
[Jinbish] Many thanks. There is in fact a 1:1 correspondence between breakfast foods and physical phenomena, a property known as "Supercomestibility".
Few people appreciate, for example, that the entire "dark matter/dark energy" issue can be resolved by reference to black pudding, where the relevant equations have already been set up and, for the most part, solved.
Quite right!. We are all aware that there is much more Black Pudding in the Universe than White Pudding.
... and what about haggis or <feels sick> fruit pudding?
[MaxB]...if the little wheatgermy bits in the slice of bread represent galaxies, we can see that as the slice of bread expands uniformly, the space between each galaxy and the others increases and, from the point of view of any galaxy all the others appear to be receding from it (as first noted by Hubble, I think). Also, I can't help noting that the universe's background radiation is not evently distributed but rather is 'lumpy', like a chunky marmalade.
I've removed my MFD, for it would be a shame to lose Maxwell's concepts of "marmaladiness" (ie, jamminess) and "supercomestibility" (which, when they become widely accepted, will surely end physics as we know it).
[Ian]: You've just put yourself in prime position for "Pun of the Month".
Thanks to all for the ever ingenious interpretations. The universe will never bear the same mysterious nature. Thanks-a-lot.
// the universe's background radiation is not evently distributed but rather is 'lumpy', like a chunky marmalade// Quite so, and well observed. You will also note that the lumps themselves tend (depending on the gravitational constant - which is of course directly analogous to the pressure applied to the spreading-knife) to aggregate towards the edges of the bread. Cosmologically, this leads to an apparent over-concentration of the density of galaxies close to the event horizon (or "crust" as it is known), and hence confound any calculations that depend on a cosmological constant. A failure to grasp this obvious point has lead Hawking quite far astray, I fear.
//this leads to an apparent over-concentration of the density of galaxies close to the event horizon (or "crust" as it is known)// A clarification if you will - what is the shape of the universe? If it is like a slice of bread (as this anno suggests) does that mean there is a big doughy empty bit in the middle with hardly any marmalade? Could it be that the cosmic butter knife isn't long enough to reach into the middle?
Also, I'm extremely intrigued that matter and energy form at the 'edges' of spacetime (if I may paraphrase further) and that the gravitational constant might somehow be describing the consistency of the bread at any given location - even more so that we might be inhabiting an extra crunchy (and ever expanding?) crust-like area, in an ever leavening shock wave of existence, perhaps.
That's just how God likes his breakfast, methinks.
Or perhaps we could figure out how to create minature big bangs in a laboratory setting. You know, find a way to create the uncreatable, that is, find a way to create energy from nothing.
// what is the shape of the universe? If it is like a slice of bread (as this anno suggests) does that mean there is a big doughy empty bit in the middle with hardly any marmalade// The pattern of cosmic background radiation suggests that the universe is, probably, a hyperbagel (ie, essentially a 4-D torus). This makes the question of "what is in the middle" very difficult to answer, since the middle of the universe is, in fact, outside the universe.
I suspect that the entire comestible/ cosmology analogy may have reached its limits.
unless you are prepared to contemplate that most cosmic of dishes: The paella.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure we can string out the theory a bit more by using noodles.
And let's not forget porridge.
I assume in the [MaxwellB] model of the universe, the marmaladed bread is stuck to the back of a huge cat?
[hippo] If you're not going to take this seriously.....On June 4, 2013, the Ohio Supreme Court in Armstrong v. John R. Jurgensen Co. (2013-Ohio-2237) upheld a trial court's decision to deny an injured worker's request for the allowance of post traumatic stress disorder in his workers' compensation claim. Shaun Armstrong was stopped in his dump truck at a yield sign while entering Interstate 70 when a motorist struck him at a high rate of speed from behind. The motorist was killed and Armstrong suffered strains of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Armstrong filed for his BWC claim to be further allowed for PTSD. Armstrong's employer, John R. Jurgensen Co., obtained a report from William L.
