UNC Asheville Holds Retrospective Exhibition of Local Sculptor, Former Professor Dan Millspaugh
Mon, 01/26/2009 - 12:00am
UNC Asheville will hold a retrospective exhibition of works by noted Asheville sculptor and former professor Dan Millspaugh from January 30 to February 25 in UNC Asheville's S. Tucker Cooke Gallery. An opening reception will be held 6-8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, in the gallery. Millspaugh will give a gallery talk at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, in the gallery. Events are free and open to the public.
The exhibition features more than 30 sculptures and 40 photographs of permanent installations, spanning more than three decades. Millspaugh works predominately in large metal sculptures crafted from new and reclaimed materials. His love and innovation for this art form transferred to the classroom. For example, in 2001 he removed 300 pounds of brass from a dorm demolition project to be used for casting in his sculpture classes.
A Florida native, Millspaugh holds a bachelor of fine arts degree in ceramics and a master of fine arts degree in sculpture from the University of Miami. He taught art at UNC Asheville for 26 years where he amassed accolades for his work in the classroom, including the UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching, UNC Asheville Distinguished Teaching Award, the Ruth and Leon Feldman Professorship for scholarship and service, and the University's Outstanding Scholarship and Creative Achievement Award.
Millspaugh has completed sculpture commissions for the City of Asheville, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the UNC Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill, and the Tennessee Valley Authority in Alabama. He has works on display in numerous corporate, public and private collections throughout the United States. He has exhibited widely throughout the nation and was recently included in a transnational exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Literary Society of Yucatan in Merida, Mexico.
For more information about the retrospective exhibition, call UNC Asheville's Art Department at 828.251.6559.

People who die or get badly injured in tornadoes often have head injuries. So doesn't wearing a helmet make good sense? It does to many safety advocates who, as NPR reported recently, have started telling people to wear helmets when they hunker down during tornado warnings.
Now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is speaking up -- with what might be described as a mild endorsement of helmet use.
In a statement today, CDC said that while there's no good research on the effectiveness of helmets in tornadoes, "we do know that head injuries are common causes of death during tornadoes, and we have long made the recommendation that people try to protect their heads." If you decide to use a helmet for that purpose, the agency says, just make sure it doesn't slow you down on your way to the basement or other shelter: "Looking for a helmet in the few seconds before a tornado hits may delay you getting safely to shelter."
And wandering around in a tornado with just a helmet? Bad idea: "Helmets should not be considered an alternative to seeking appropriate shelter," CDC says.
"This is very sensible advice," says Mark Baker, an pediatric emergency physician at Children's of Alabama. Baker and colleagues at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, began advocating helmet use in tornadoes after an outbreak on April 27, 2011, killed 21 people in their community.
Among those who did not die: A nine-year-old boy who came to the hospital with some bruises and scrapes, but was otherwise OK after he was thrown more than 100 yards and "as high as a telephone pole," Baker says. The boy had been wearing a baseball helmet. Baker thinks it saved him from the kind of serious head injury he saw in dozens of other children that night -- including two who did not survive.
Any sturdy bike or sports helmet with a chin strap should work, Baker says. Just make sure the helmets will be handy when the warning sirens go off -- and are used as part of a total family emergency plan that includes taking shelter and staying informed, he advises.
CDC has more on what to do in a tornado, here.

Simultaneously Efficient Light Absorption and Charge Separation in WO3/BiVO4 Core/Shell Nanowire Photoanode for Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation.
Nano letters
2014; 14 (2): 1099-1105
We report a scalably synthesized WO3/BiVO4 core/shell nanowire photoanode in which BiVO4 is the primary light-absorber and WO3 acts as an electron conductor. These core/shell nanowires achieve the highest product of light absorption and charge separation efficiencies among BiVO4-based photoanodes to date and, even without an added catalyst, produce a photocurrent of 3.1 mA/cm(2) under simulated sunlight and an incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency of ∼60% at 300-450 nm, both at a potential of 1.23 V versus RHE.

Rapid and Controllable Flame Reduction of TiO2 Nanowires for Enhanced Solar Water-Splitting
2014; 14 (1): 24-31
We report a new flame reduction method to generate controllable amount of oxygen vacancies in TiO2 nanowires that leads to nearly three times improvement in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting performance. The flame reduction method has unique advantages of a high temperature (>1000 °C), ultrafast heating rate, tunable reduction environment, and open-atmosphere operation, so it enables rapid formation of oxygen vacancies (less than one minute) without damaging the nanowire morphology and crystallinity and is even applicable to various metal oxides. Significantly, we show that flame reduction greatly improves the saturation photocurrent densities of TiO2 nanowires (2.7 times higher), α-Fe2O3 nanowires (9.4 times higher), ZnO nanowires (2.0 times higher), and BiVO4 thin film (4.3 times higher) in comparison to untreated control samples for PEC water-splitting applications.

Flash ignition of freestanding porous silicon films: effects of film thickness and porosity.
Nano letters
2013; 13 (11): 5528-5533
We report the first successful xenon flash ignition of freestanding porous Si films in air. The minimum flash ignition energy (Emin) first decreases and then increases with increasing the porous Si film thickness due to the competition between light absorption and heat loss. The Emin is lower for higher porosity film because high porosity reduces both the heat capacity and the thermal conductivity, facilitating the temperature rise. These results are important for initiating controlled porous Si combustion and preventing their unwanted combustion for safety reasons.

Peel-and-Stick: Mechanism Study for Efficient Fabrication of Flexible/Transparent Thin-film Electronics
2013; 3
Peel-and-stick process, or water-assisted transfer printing (WTP), represents an emerging process for transferring fully fabricated thin-film electronic devices with high yield and fidelity from a SiO2/Si wafer to various non-Si based substrates, including papers, plastics and polymers. This study illustrates that the fundamental working principle of the peel-and-stick process is based on the water-assisted subcritical debonding, for which water reduces the critical adhesion energy of metal-SiO2 interface by 70 ~ 80%, leading to clean and high quality transfer of thin-film electronic devices. Water-assisted subcritical debonding is applicable for a range of metal-SiO2 interfaces, enabling the peel-and-stick process as a general and tunable method for fabricating flexible/transparent thin-film electronic devices.

Electroassisted Transfer of Vertical Silicon Wire Arrays Using a Sacrificial Porous Silicon Layer
2013; 13 (9): 4362-4368
An electroassisted method is developed to transfer silicon (Si) wire arrays from the Si wafers on which they are grown to other substrates while maintaining their original properties and vertical alignment. First, electroassisted etching is used to form a sacrificial porous Si layer underneath the Si wires. Second, the porous Si layer is separated from the Si wafer by electropolishing, enabling the separation and transfer of the Si wires. The method is further expanded to develop a current-induced metal-assisted chemical etching technique for the facile and rapid synthesis of Si nanowires with axially modulated porosity.

Morphological control of heterostructured nanowires synthesized by sol-flame method
2013; 8
Heterostructured nanowires, such as core/shell nanowires and nanoparticle-decorated nanowires, are versatile building blocks for a wide range of applications because they integrate dissimilar materials at the nanometer scale to achieve unique functionalities. The sol-flame method is a new, rapid, low-cost, versatile, and scalable method for the synthesis of heterostructured nanowires, in which arrays of nanowires are decorated with other materials in the form of shells or chains of nanoparticles. In a typical sol-flame synthesis, nanowires are dip-coated with a solution containing precursors of the materials to be decorated, then dried in air, and subsequently heated in the post-flame region of a flame at high temperature (over 900°C) for only a few seconds. Here, we report the effects of the precursor solution on the final morphology of the heterostructured nanowire using Co3O4 decorated CuO nanowires as a model system. When a volatile cobalt salt precursor is used with sufficient residual solvent, both solvent and cobalt precursor evaporate during the flame annealing step, leading to the formation of Co3O4 nanoparticle chains by a gas-solid transition. The length of the nanoparticle chains is mainly controlled by the temperature of combustion of the solvent. On the other hand, when a non-volatile cobalt salt precursor is used, only the solvent evaporates and the cobalt salt is converted to nanoparticles by a liquid-solid transition, forming a conformal Co3O4 shell. This study facilitates the use of the sol-flame method for synthesizing heterostructured nanowires with controlled morphologies to satisfy the needs of diverse applications.

Sol-Flame Synthesis: A General Strategy To Decorate Nanowires with Metal Oxide/Noble Metal Nanoparticles
2013; 13 (3): 855-860
The hybrid structure of nanoparticle-decorated nanowires (NP@NW) combines the merits of large specific surface areas for NPs and anisotropic properties for NWs and is a desirable structure for applications including batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, photoelectrochemical water splitting, and catalysis. Here, we report a novel sol-flame method to synthesize the NP@NW hybrid structure with two unique characteristics: (1) large loading of NPs per NW with the morphology of NP chains fanning radially from the NW core and (2) intimate contact between NPs and NWs. Both features are advantageous for the above applications that involve both surface reactions and charge transport processes. Moreover, the sol-flame method is simple and general, with which we have successfully decorated various NWs with binary/ternary metal oxide and even noble metal NPs. The unique aspects of the sol-flame method arise from the ultrafast heating rate and the high temperature of flame, which enables rapid solvent evaporation and combustion, and the combustion gaseous products blow out NPs as they nucleate, forming the NP chains around NWs.

Codoping titanium dioxide nanowires with tungsten and carbon for enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.
Nature communications
2013; 4: 1723-?
Recent density-functional theory calculations suggest that codoping TiO2 with donor-acceptor pairs is more effective than monodoping for improving photoelectrochemical water-splitting performance because codoping can reduce charge recombination, improve material quality, enhance light absorption and increase solubility limits of dopants. Here we report a novel ex-situ method to codope TiO2 with tungsten and carbon (W, C) by sequentially annealing W-precursor-coated TiO2 nanowires in flame and carbon monoxide gas. The unique advantages of flame annealing are that the high temperature (>1,000 °C) and fast heating rate of flame enable rapid diffusion of W into TiO2 without damaging the nanowire morphology and crystallinity. This is the first experimental demonstration that codoped TiO2:(W, C) nanowires outperform monodoped TiO2:W and TiO2:C and double the saturation photocurrent of undoped TiO2 for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Such significant performance enhancement originates from a greatly improved electrical conductivity and activity for oxygen-evolution reaction due to the synergistic effects of codoping.

Peel-and-Stick: Fabricating Thin Film Solar Cell on Universal Substrates
2012; 2
Fabrication of thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) on substrates other than Si and glass has been challenging because these nonconventional substrates are not suitable for the current TFSC fabrication processes due to poor surface flatness and low tolerance to high temperature and chemical processing. Here, we report a new peel-and-stick process that circumvents these fabrication challenges by peeling off the fully fabricated TFSCs from the original Si wafer and attaching TFSCs to virtually any substrates regardless of materials, flatness and rigidness. With the peel-and-stick process, we integrated hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) TFSCs on paper, plastics, cell phone and building windows while maintaining the original 7.5% efficiency. The new peel-and-stick process enables further reduction of the cost and weight for TFSCs and endows TFSCs with flexibility and attachability for broader application areas. We believe that the peel-and-stick process can be applied to thin film electronics as well.

Shrinking and Growing: Grain Boundary Density Reduction for Efficient Polysilicon Thin-Film Solar Cells
2012; 12 (12): 6485-6491
Polycrystalline Si (poly-Si) thin-film, due to its low Si consumption, low substrate cost, and good stability, is an attractive candidate for cost-effective solar cells, but the as-deposited poly-Si typically has a columnar structure with grain boundaries in between, severely limiting the efficiency of the poly-Si. Here, we report a micropillar poly-Si solar cell that utilizes the columnar structure of the as-deposited poly-Si grains. We first formed submicrometer diameter poly-Si pillars, smaller than the initial grain sizes, and used these pillars as the seeds for the subsequent epitaxial growth of Si, which effectively reduces grain boundary density in the final poly-Si crystal. In addition, the vertically aligned micropillar arrays form radial p-n junctions that further mitigate the grain boundary recombination losses by improving the light absorption and charge-carrier collection efficiencies. Consequently, the maximum efficiency of micropillar poly-Si thin-film solar cells is 6.4%, that is, ?1.5 times higher than that of the planar cells.

Thermal conductivity in porous silicon nanowire arrays
2012; 7
The nanoscale features in silicon nanowires (SiNWs) can suppress phonon propagation and strongly reduce their thermal conductivities compared to the bulk value. This work measures the thermal conductivity along the axial direction of SiNW arrays with varying nanowire diameters, doping concentrations, surface roughness, and internal porosities using nanosecond transient thermoreflectance. For SiNWs with diameters larger than the phonon mean free path, porosity substantially reduces the thermal conductivity, yielding thermal conductivities as low as 1 W/m/K in highly porous SiNWs. However, when the SiNW diameter is below the phonon mean free path, both the internal porosity and the diameter significantly contribute to phonon scattering and lead to reduced thermal conductivity of the SiNWs.

Fabrication of Flexible and Vertical Silicon Nanowire Electronics
2012; 12 (6): 3339-3343
Vertical silicon nanowire (SiNW) array devices directly connected on both sides to metallic contacts were fabricated on various non-Si-based substrates (e.g., glass, plastics, and metal foils) in order to fully exploit the nanomaterial properties for final applications. The devices were realized with uniform length Ag-assisted electroless etched SiNW arrays that were detached from their fabrication substrate, typically Si wafers, reattached to arbitrary substrates, and formed with metallic contacts on both sides of the NW array. Electrical characterization of the SiNW array devices exhibits good current-voltage characteristics consistent with the SiNW morphology.

We report a hierarchically branched TiO(2) nanorod structure that serves as a model architecture for efficient photoelectrochemical devices as it simultaneously offers a large contact area with the electrolyte, excellent light-trapping characteristics, and a highly conductive pathway for charge carrier collection. Under Xenon lamp illumination (UV spectrum matched to AM 1.5G, 88 mW/cm(2) total power density), the branched TiO(2) nanorod array produces a photocurrent density of 0.83 mA/cm(2) at 0.8 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). The incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency reaches 67% at 380 nm with an applied bias of 0.6 V versus RHE, nearly two times higher than the bare nanorods without branches. The branches improve efficiency by means of (i) improved charge separation and transport within the branches due to their small diameters, and (ii) a 4-fold increase in surface area which facilitates the hole transfer at the TiO(2)/electrolyte interface.

Fabrication of Nanowire Electronics on Nonconventional Substrates by Water-Assisted Transfer Printing Method
2011; 11 (8): 3435-3439
We report a simple, versatile, and wafer-scale water-assisted transfer printing method (WTP) that enables the transfer of nanowire devices onto diverse nonconventional substrates that were not easily accessible before, such as paper, plastics, tapes, glass, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), aluminum foil, and ultrathin polymer substrates. The WTP method relies on the phenomenon of water penetrating into the interface between Ni and SiO(2). The transfer yield is nearly 100%, and the transferred devices, including NW resistors, diodes, and field effect transistors, maintain their original geometries and electronic properties with high fidelity.

Hybrid Si Microwire and Planar Solar Cells: Passivation and Characterization
2011; 11 (7): 2704-2708
We report an efficient hybrid Si microwire (radial junction) and planar solar cell with a maximum efficiency of 11.0% under AM 1.5G illumination. The maximum efficiency of the hybrid cell is improved from 7.2% to 11.0% by passivating the top surface and p-n junction with thin a-SiN:H and intrinsic poly-Si films, respectively, and is higher than that of planar cells of the identical layers due to increased light absorption and improved charge-carrier collections in both wires and planar components.

Vertical Transfer of Uniform Silicon Nanowire Arrays via Crack Formation
2011; 11 (3): 1300-1305
Vertical transfer of silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays with uniform length onto adhesive substrates was realized by the assistance of creating a horizontal crack throughout SiNWs. The crack is formed by adding a water soaking step between consecutive Ag-assisted electroless etching processes of Si. The crack formation is related to the delamination, redistribution, and reattachment of the Ag film during the water soaking and subsequent wet etching steps. Moreover, the crack facilitates embedding SiNWs inside polymers.

Morphology-Controlled Flame Synthesis of Single, Branched, and Flower-like alpha-MoO3 Nanobelt Arrays
2011; 11 (2): 872-877
We report an atmospheric, catalyst-free, rapid flame synthesis technique for growing single, branched, and flower-like ?-MoO(3) nanobelt arrays on diverse substrates. The growth rate, morphology, and surface coverage density of the ?-MoO(3) nanobelts were controlled by varying the flame equivalence ratio, the source temperature, the growth substrate temperature, and the material and morphology of the growth substrate. This flame synthesis technique is a promising, alternative way to synthesize one-dimensional metal oxide nanostructures in general.

Plasma-Enhanced Catalytic CuO Nanowires for CO Oxidation
2010; 10 (11): 4762-4766
We report the first experimental study of catalytic CO oxidation over copper oxide (CuO) nanowires (NWs) grown directly on copper meshes. The catalytic activity of CuO NWs is significantly improved by a brief argon or hydrogen radio frequency plasma treatment. The plasma enhancement effect comes from the generation of grain boundaries and the reduction of Cu(II) to the more active oxidation state Cu(I) according to our TEM, XPS, and kinetic study.

Characterization of the wettability of thin nanostructured films in the presence of evaporation
2010; 349 (1): 354-360
Vapor chambers using conventional porous membrane wicks offer limited heat transfer rates for a given thickness. This limitation can be addressed through wick nanostructuring, which promises high capillary pressures and precise control of the local porosity. This work develops a measurement technique for the wettability of nanostructured wicks based on optical imaging. Feasibility is demonstrated on a hydrophilic silicon nanowire array (SiNW) synthesized using the Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) growth mechanism followed by surface plasma treatment. The wettability is determined by comparing the time-dependent liquid interface rise with a model that accounts for capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces and for evaporation. This model is demonstrated to be useful in extracting internal contact angle from thin ( approximately 10microm) porous films.

Fabricating nanowire devices on diverse substrates by simple transfer-printing methods
2010; 107 (22): 9950-9955
The fabrication of nanowire (NW) devices on diverse substrates is necessary for applications such as flexible electronics, conformable sensors, and transparent solar cells. Although NWs have been fabricated on plastic and glass by lithographic methods, the choice of device substrates is severely limited by the lithographic process temperature and substrate properties. Here we report three new transfer-printing methods for fabricating NW devices on diverse substrates including polydimethylsiloxane, Petri dishes, Kapton tapes, thermal release tapes, and many types of adhesive tapes. These transfer-printing methods rely on the differences in adhesion to transfer NWs, metal films, and devices from weakly adhesive donor substrates to more strongly adhesive receiver substrates. Electrical characterization of fabricated NW devices shows that reliable ohmic contacts are formed between NWs and electrodes. Moreover, we demonstrated that Si NW devices fabricated by the transfer-printing methods are robust piezoresistive stress sensors and temperature sensors with reliable performance.

Direct Growth of Nanowire Logic Gates and Photovoltaic Devices
2010; 10 (3): 1050-1054
Bottom-up nanowires are useful building blocks for functional devices because of their controllable physical and chemical properties. However, assembling nanowires into large-scale integrated systems remains a critical challenge that becomes even more daunting when different nanowires need to be simultaneously assembled in close proximity to one another. Herein, we report a new method to directly grow nanowire devices consisting of different nanowires. The method is based on the epitaxial growth of nanowires from the sidewalls of electrodes and on the matching of electrode design with synthesis conditions to electrically connect different nanowires during growth. Specifically, the method was used to grow silicon nanowire-based AND and OR diode logic gates with excellent rectifying behaviors, and photovoltaic elements in parallel and in series, with tunable power output.

Rapid Catalyst-Free Flame Synthesis of Dense, Aligned alpha-Fe2O3 Nanoflake and CuO Nanoneedle Arrays
2009; 9 (8): 3001-3006
This paper describes a simple and yet rapid flame synthesis method to produce one-dimensional metal oxide nanostructures by directly oxidizing metals in the postflame region of a flat flame. Single and bicrystal alpha-Fe(2)O(3) nanoflakes and CuO nanoneedles were grown in the postflame region by a solid diffusion mechanism and were aligned perpendicularly to the substrate with a surface coverage density of 10 nanostructures per square micrometer. The alpha-Fe(2)O(3) nanoflakes reached lengths exceeding 20 microm after only 20 min of growth. This rapid growth rate is attributed to a large initial heating rate of the metal substrate in the flame and to the presence of water vapor and carbon dioxide in the gas phase that together generate thin and porous oxide layers that greatly enhance the diffusion of the deficient metal to the nanostructure growth site and enable growth at higher temperatures than previously demonstrated.

Probing Flow Velocity with Silicon Nanowire Sensors
2009; 9 (5): 1984-1988
We report our experimental efforts to quantify the impact of fluidic and ionic transport on the conductance level of silicon nanowire (SiNW) sensors configured as field effect transistors (FETs). Specifically, the conductance of SiNW FETs placed in a microfluidic channel was observed to change linearly with the flow velocity of electrolytic solutions. The direction of conductance change depends on the doping type of the SiNWs and their location inside the microfluidic channel, and the magnitude of the conductance change varies with the ionic strength and compositions of the electrolytic solution. Our quantitative analysis suggests that the flow velocity sensing is a consequence of the streaming potential that is generated by the movement of counterions inside the electrical double layer (EDL) of the silica substrate. The streaming potential, which varies with the flow velocity and the ionic properties of the electrolytic solution, acts in the same way as the charged analytes in affecting the conductance of SiNWs by changing the surface potential. This study highlights the importance of considering the ionic transport in analyzing and optimizing nanowire FET sensors, which can significantly change the conductance of NWs. Moreover, SiNWs were demonstrated for the first time to be able to detect the streaming potential, the flow velocity and the ionic strength, opening up their new application potentials in microfluidics.

Single and Tandem Axial p-i-n Nanowire Photovoltaic Devices
2008; 8 (10): 3456-3460
Nanowires represent a promising class of materials for exploring new concepts in solar energy conversion. Here we report the first experimental realization of axial modulation-doped p-i-n and tandem p-i-n(+) -p(+)-i-n silicon nanowire (SiNW) photovoltaic elements. Scanning electron microscopy images of selectively etched nanowires demonstrate excellent synthetic control over doping and lengths of distinct regions in the diode structures. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics reveal clear and reproducible diode characteristics for the p-i-n and p-n SiNW devices. Under simulated one-sun solar conditions (AM 1.5G), optimized p-i-n SiNW devices exhibited an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.29 V, a maximum short-circuit current density of 3.5 mA/cm(2), and a maximum efficiency of 0.5%. The response of the short-circuit current versus Voc under varying illumination intensities shows that the diode quality factor is improved from n=1.78 to n=1.28 by insertion of the i-type SiNW segment. The temperature dependence of Voc scales as -2.97 mV/K and extrapolates to the crystalline Si band gap at 0 K, which is in excellent agreement with bulk properties. Finally, a novel single SiNW tandem solar cell consisting of synthetic integration of two photovoltaic elements with an overall p-i-n(+) -p(+)-i-n structure was prepared and shown to exhibit a Voc that is on average 57% larger than that of the single p-i-n device. Fundamental studies of such well-defined nanowire photovoltaics will enable their intrinsic performance limits to be defined.

Numerical Characterization and Optimization of the Microfluidics for Nanowire Biosensors
2008; 8 (10): 3233-3237
The present study aims to enhance the analyte transport to the surface of nanowires (NWs) through optimizing the sensing configuration and the flow patterns inside the microfluidic channel, and hence to reduce the response time of NW biosensors. Specifically, numerical simulations were carried out to quantitatively investigate the effects of the fundamental surface reaction, convection, and diffusion processes on the sensing performance. Although speeding up all these processes will reduce the sensing response time, enhancing the diffusional transport was found to be most effective. Moreover, the response time of NW biosensors is inversely proportional to the local concentration of the analyte in the vicinity of the NWs, which suggests that the sensing response time can be significantly reduced by replenishing the local analyte rapidly. Therefore, the following three optimization strategies were proposed and their effects on the time response of NWs were characterized systematically: device substrate passivation, microfluidic channel modification, and suspending NWs. The combination of these three optimization methods was demonstrated to be able to reduce the response time of NW biosensors by more than 1 order of magnitude.

The senior running back came into the Panthers' Week 9 matchup against Marbury ranked third in rushing among ball-carriers in The Star's coverage area with 988 yards and 12 touchdowns on 148 carries.
But junior Dalton Carroll had the biggest run in Wellborn's 21-7 defeat of the Bulldogs on "The Hill". Coupled with a goal line stand late, it captured the No. 4 spot in Class 3A, Region 3 and secured the Panthers a second straight playoff berth.
Carroll took a handoff on a third-and-8 from the Panthers' 20 and broke it 80 yards to turn a seven-point lead into two-touchdown gap with 1:05 to play, following a successful extra point by Rhoden.
"Grass," Carroll said. "That's all I saw on that play.
"I trusted my offensive line. Once I got through the hole, I turned on the jets, and I got a block downfield from my boy Dejuan (Traylor)."
Carroll finished with 94 yards on nine carries.
His score sent the Wellborn faithful into a frenzy as it all but sealed the postseason berth. Coaches and players exchanged hugs and handshakes in celebration as the victory was a formality.
Rhoden came up big as usual. He went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season on an 18-yard run for a first down on his third carry from scrimmage.
He finished with a game-high 136 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries, and his 57-yard run with just 32.8 seconds to play before the half gave Wellborn a 14-7 lead.
He said it was all about mindset. The Panthers and Bulldogs each came into the game with region losses to Leeds, Handley and Clay County, so it was win and you're in the playoffs.
"Our mindset coming into this game was that we couldn't take 'No' for an answer," said the 5-foot-11, 175-pound Rhoden. "We were at home. We had a great crowd out here tonight. With the playoffs on the line, we just couldn't take 'No' for an answer."
Rhoden scored on a 3-yard run and added a 2-point conversion with 2:50 to play in the first to put Wellborn ahead 8-7.
Marbury's spread offense looked as if it might have the Panthers spellbound all night as the Bulldogs (5-4, 3-4) moved the ball with ease to begin the game. They opened up the game with an 10-play, 74-yard drive that ended with Lorenza Cooper diving over the top for a 1-yard score that put his team ahead 7-0 with 8:06 remaining in the first.
"We just saw two wishbone teams in back-to-back weeks," Wellborn coach Jeff Smith, referring to the Panthers' losses to Clay County and Handley in Weeks 7 and 8. "We had to adjust."
It seemed as if the Bulldogs had found their early game magic again late in the fourth quarter. They got a first-and-goal from the Wellborn 4, down 14-7 with about five minutes to play in the fourth quarter after a 28-yard run by quarterback Keston Chatman.
Cooper lined up in the popular wildcat formation on first down was stuffed for a 1-yard loss. Carroll met him in the hole and limited him to just a yard on second down, and he was upended shy of the goal line on third.
On fourth down, down Cooper, the Bulldogs' leading rusher with 81 yards on 18 carries, went left and reached the end zone, but the play was called back. Marbury was whistled for having five players in the backfield, one of nine penalties that cost the Bulldogs 73 yards and a 91-yard run.
When the down was replayed, Chatman overthrew Richard Tyus from seven yards out as Wellborn completed the goal-line stand.
"Wellborn football has always been on defense," said Smith, an alumnus. "For them to bow up and stop them on four straight downs and get a goal line stand makes us coaches proud."
Wellborn will travel to Gordo for its first-round playoff matchup after it plays host to Woodland in its regular-season finale next week.
Smith said his team is "happy to be there," speaking of its spot in what is likely the toughest 3A region in the state. The Panthers will finish behind Leeds, a state semifinalist last year and 2008 state champion, Handley, a state semifinalist in Class 4A the past two years before dropping in classification, and Clay County, who reached the state finals in Class 2A last season.
"We're not your average No. 4 team," Smith said. "Our kids set five goals before this season. No. 1 was to have a winning season. No. 2 was make it to the playoffs. No. 3 was to win a playoff game. No. 4 was to make it to the state championship, and No. 5 was to win the state championship.
We did two of those things tonight."

Context: On 9 May 2012, PAHO and the OAS signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate for the reduction of drug demand in the Americas by strengthening coordinated technical cooperation centered on human rights, public health, and scientific evidence. According to the memorandum, PAHO and the OAS will establish a Joint Regional Cooperation Program for the Reduction of Drug Demand to undertake institution building, training, and technical assistance activities with the countries of the Hemisphere. In 2010, the 50th Directing Council of PAHO approved a regional public health strategy to respond to the health problems associated with the consumption of psychoactive substances in the Americas and the following year approved a plan of action to make the use of these substances a priority public health issue in national plans.

Why She's No.56?
It's rare to see such fiery right-wing rhetoric coming out of so much blond cuteness, a quality that we find curiously sexy. However, The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck and her placement on this year's Top 99 list proves we're not alone. At the very least, she gets people talking: her AskMen.com profile has nearly as many reader comments as fellow reality TV veteran Kim Kardashian's, and Elisabeth doesn't even have a sex tape floating around (if one should surface, we'll be the first to review it). Liberals who demonize her may not be far off, as only a devil could look this good. Read more about Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Short Bio
View cohost, mother of two and wife of ESPN analyst Tim Hasselbeck, Elisabeth Hasselbeck hasn't always been the iconic champion of the oppressed right-wing elite minority that she is today. She got her start on TV as Elisabeth Filarski, the token girl-next-door on Survivor: The Australian Outback, then parlayed that fame into a show on the Style Network before beating out an initially large pool of hopefuls to permanently replace Lisa Ling on The View.

Politics, government and public life for Southern California
Curren Price joins list of state legislators seeking LA City Council seats
Curren Price campaign website
State Sen. Curren Price is the latest Sacramento lawmaker to run for the Los Angeles City Council.
A state senator who earlier this year got into a public argument with Councilman Bernard Parks over redistricting will run for the Los Angeles City Council.
Curren Price will run for the Ninth District seat currently held by Councilwoman Jan Perry. He has two years left in his State Senate term. If he wins the City Council race, it would force a special election to fill his senate seat.
Price joins a crowded field for Perry's seat. Among the 14 candidates are:
- Ana Cubas, former chief of staff to Councilman Jose Huizar
- David Roberts, appointee to the Redistricting Commission
- Mike Davis, state Assemblyman (being termed out)
- Terry Hara, deputy chief, LAPD
Price announced his candidacy on Facebook, writing: "I am running for this office to offer leadership by calling for a new level of collaboration among public and private sector resources."
"I'm adopting the phrase, the 'New 9th,' to signal a new level of commitment and enthusiasm to engage residents and community-based institutions to work together to improve the quality of life for all residents in the New 9th."

Release Notes: This release includes new (and experimental) undo and redo functionality for most text operations. The default key bindings are Meta-U for undo and Meta-E for redo, but these can be remapped using the new 2.1 keybinding code. Also included are some fixes for configuring using wide curses, crashing when invoking the help menu with certain locales, and not saving the search history when compiled with configure options.
Release Notes: This release introduces vim-style file locking (though not backup/restore), useful when using nano in a multi-editor environment. Other new features include additional support for word boundary checking when cross compiling, fixes for trying to go to an invalid line number, and the usual documentation tweaks.
Release Notes: This release includes security fixes due to an assessment of nano's vulnerability to symlink attacks; see CVE-2010-1160 and CVE-2010-1161. Also included are fixes for various crashes when using the spell checker on new files, and fixing the 'file was modified' message when saving to a new filename. 'Final' fixes to page up/down due to the soft wrapping code are included as well. The lone new feature included is a new syntax highlighting definition for cmake files. Please consider upgrading to this release if still using the 2.0 series, since fixes for that version are still forthcoming.
Release Notes: Bugfixes include several fixes for tiny mode (involving both the help keys and replacement menu text), more 'final' fixes for soft wrapping, and several typo and documentation updates including nanorc tweaks and a new syntax highlighting file for makefiles. Also included is a long-standing fix for random crashing when using nanorc on FreeBSD, and nano will no longer clear the screen on suspend to maintain compatibility with other *nix editors.
Release Notes: Included are some (hopefully final) fixes for issues with last page display caused by the soft wrapping code and a fix for a long-standing issue with hitting the home key when going through the search history. On the features front, nano will now attempt to retain the proper ownership and permissions when trying to create a .save file due to receiving a signal. Nano can also now unbind keys from one or more menus via the "unbind" keyword. Finally, passing --fill or --nowrap on the command line will now override any related .nanorc entries.
Release Notes: This version includes various fixes for portability including support for some older HP-UX compiler combos, fixes for various compiler warnings, and some crash fixes in the undo code. The undo code is now marked as experimental since it can cause severe stability and memory issues, and thus now requires a flag (-u, --undo) in order to enable it.

I booked the creole inn before I reviewed the pictures of the place and to be brutally honest I thought it was gonna be a dump... But when I got there I got a nice warm welcome and the place exceeded my expectations by a lot!!! The location was a small walk from the action of bourbon st and the rooms gave me a nice and cozy feel! I will definately stay here again if there is vacancy next time around!

text: P.J. Griekspoor Archives Email Author Follow @P.J. Griekspoor Season of Comfort and Joy Opens With a Special Joy Kansas Viewpoint First day of December proves a grand day to introduce a granddaughter to harvest Published on: December 1, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print There's no other season quite like the space between Thanksgiving and Christmas when you get to reflect on all the precious gifts that make life wonderful. And sometimes the greatest joys come where you least expect them and where, I admit, in some of my earlier years, I didn't even recognize them. Today started with an early morning flurry of text messages, announced by several consecutive "dongs" on my cell phone when I was barely awake. One daughter's just-repaired computer appears to be crashing again; her cell phone fell into the toilet; the oldest grandkid is home from school with what may be strep; the other daughter is fighting the third day of a nasty cold and very little sleep and the youngest two grandkids have teamed up in a diaper contents event that is pushing their mom just about to the brink. What's a grandma with sesame harvest in her planner to do? Well... You can't harvest sesame on a frosty morning until the sun comes out and the moisture drops. That means two hours of time to resolve crises and get on the road. So, the laptop goes to the shop, the cell phone dries out -- and works!!!!! -- and the youngest perpetual motion machines are corralled long enough for Mom to get a shower and a few quiet minutes. And then, inspiration. When the five-year-old gets out of pre-K, Grandma will just take her along for an afternoon of sesame harvest, the babies will nap and exhausted mom can too. And so it came to pass that Grandma got a chance to spend an entire afternoon with just one of her seven grandkids and introduce her to the wonders of a John Deere combine; not to mention the very plant where sesame seeds grow. As we drove home, I realized that once upon a time, I would have thought this was a really rough day. But you know what? It wasn't. It was a great day. I got the chance to use my expertise to put out fires in a couple of directions and I got the chance to spend six hours discovering the uniqueness of a special grand-daughter. What more could you ask? And so, in the season of comfort and joy, it occurs to me that I have both on the very first day -- comfort in helping those important to me and joy in new discovery with the new generation.
