	Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This Archimedean spiral is distinguished from the logarithmic spiral by the fact that successive turnings of the spiral have a constant separation distance (equal to 2πb if θ is measured in radians), while in a logarithmic spiral these distances form a geometric progression.
		Virtually all static spirals appearing in nature are logarithmic spirals, not Archimedean ones.
		Many dynamic spirals (such as the Parker spiral of the solar wind, or the pattern made by a St.

	Death spiral financing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Death spiral financing occurs when a small company, in desperate need of money, takes an investor's cash, but with a caveat.
		That investor, at the time of their choosing, can claim some of the company's stock, usually at a fraction of the market value.
		The options to buy stock are known as "toxic" or "death spiral" convertibles.

	Pairs Death Spirals
		The death spiral is a very dramatic element in which the man becomes the center of a "flat spin" performed by the lady.
		The death spirals are named according to the direction and edge maintained by the on-ice skate.
		The outside death spirals require that the skater bend her leg in a more pronounced fashion to maintain the edge, and this forces her body to remain a little higher.

	Uninsured in America: CHAPTER ONE
		The image of a death spiral is a useful metaphor for thinking about the role of access to health care within the larger context of American social and economic life.
		Descent through the death spiral, for millions of Americans, leaves irrevocable marks of illness on their bodies and souls.
		Seeing the death spiral in action in the lives of men and women across the country has convinced us that, as a society, we must cut the link between employment and health care in order to prevent millions of Americans from being sucked into a lethal vortex of ill health, medical debt, and marginal employability.

		The risk is that the stock price drop triggers a spiral of declines followed by ever more share issues, — hence the term death spiral financing.
		Your incentive, as owner of the death spriral convert, is to push the share price down, and many hedge funds do just that.
		Let's face it, most of the companies that stoop low enough to issue these death ride convertibles do it because without the quick cash they bring in the Company would be forced to go out of business.

	"Death Spiral" Around A Black Hole Yields Tantalizing Evidence Of An Event Horizon
		Hubble found two examples of a so-called "dying pulse train," the rapidly decaying, precisely sequential flashes of light from a hot blob of gas spiraling into the fl hole.
		This signature matches theories of what scientists would predict to see when matter is falling so close to the event horizon that its light rapidly dims as it is stretched by gravity to ever-longer wavelengths.
		The viscosity in the accretion disk causes the gas to spiral down toward the event horizon.

	the chutry experiment: Hollywood's Death Spiral
		In Slate, Edward Jay Epstein, author of The Big Picture: The New Logic of Money and Power in Hollywood, discusses what he calls "Hollywood's death spiral," the increasing reliance on profits acquired from the home entertainment divisions of major studios, specifically through pay-per-view and DVD sales and rentals.
		Epstein challenges recent claims about a "box-office slump," noting that studio revenues have actually increased in the first quarter of 2005 over the same time period last year, adding that the declining audience in theaters "came mainly at the expense of independent, foreign, and documentary movies.
		You're certainly right that studios may be able to produce films with an eye towards strong DVD sales (and other "ancillary materials) based on the strength of a major niche figure such as Joss Whedon.

		As Martin Baily, a former head of Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers, has described, this can lead to a spiral of rising taxes and falling employment, especially when welfare payments are high, as they are in most of Western Europe.

	Chaos at Waco: The Death Spiral
		The winding spiral shape seemed to us to depict the almost unstoppable momentum that seemed to gather in public confrontations with cults and cult-like groups: the swirl of information, events, and predictable actions and reactions that seemed to build to inevitable conclusions in such conflicts.
		Repeatedly, we watched the same spiral dynamic draw everything in its path - individuals, families, communities, the media, law enforcement and higher government officials - into a vortex that exploded in fury and left a trail of death and destruction in its wake.
		From our vantage point as communication researchers, the tragedy was a stunning real-life exercise in the chaotic dynamics of the death spiral, and one in which pathological communication contributed materially to the disaster.

	Hollywood's Death Spiral, Part 2 - Are movie theaters facing extinction? By Edward Jay Epstein
		As a result, more moviegoers now wait to buy or rent a movie on DVD, which leads to shorter theatrical runs and a fall in worldwide theater attendance, which in turn puts more pressure on the studios to shorten the window even further.
		This death spiral was set in motion by the studios themselves about four years ago.
		The decision to shorten the video window did not proceed from a new technological development—such as TV in the 1940s or the video cassette in the 1970s—or a change in popular taste.

		The Pentagon is locked in a budgetary death spiral simply because the way it thinks about the world has not caught up with the way it spends money.
		The military programs, strategies, and weapon systems funded by the $270 billion annual defense budget match neither the administration's national security strategy nor the Pentagon's own blueprint for future military operations.

		The spiral begins with a shortening of the delay, or "window," that separates a movie's theatrical release from its video release.
		As this spiral accelerates and studios earn a larger and larger share of their money from home entertainment, it adds to the pressure on studios to further reduce the video window.

	Oil Seismology Firm Sues Funds in 'Death Spiral' Stock Case
		An oil and gas exploration firm has alleged in federal court that a Connecticut hedge fund and related offshore investment funds unlawfully coordinated short-selling of the firm's stock in a "death spiral" scheme designed to enrich the funds while causing the company's market value to plummet.
		In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston-based Hyperdynamics Corp. claims it is one of "dozens" of thinly capitalized startup companies victimized by convertible preferred-stock financing arranged by Southridge Capital Management LLC, a hedge fund headquartered in Ridgefield, Conn.
		The suit says Southridge, in a conspiracy with offshore funds it secretly controlled, used "short sales" on a massive scale to drive the price of Hyperdynamics stock downward in a "death spiral" in which the shares fell from $6 to 50 cents from April 2000 to March 2001.
