A preaching friend I knew in south Mississippi about a hundred years ago recently wrote about his summer vacations at his "Granddaddy and Mamaw's" house and the "neat" experience of having to get drinking water via the hand pump and dipper at the well. I wrote him and told him I could remember similar experiences at my dad's family farm in Indiana. The biggest differences, I guess, were the lack of a pump on the well. Grandpa used a bucket, rope and pulley to get the water up, though there was a hand pump attached to the kitchen ...

Nice little beautiful hotel in good location.Posted Oct 20, 2014
First time in Paris and this hotel was great, staff were friendly and helpful . Room was small but very clean and pretty. Would stay again.

Really Lovely stayPosted Jul 22, 2014 on Hotels.com
Right next to the train station this small boutique hotel is perfectly located. Clean, smart and wonderful daytime receptionist, I really enjoyed my overnight stay.

Great location, nice neighborhoodPosted Jun 20, 2014 on Hotels.com
The hotel is small but cozy. We did not get towels one day, but who I think was the owner or a supervisor. Kindly next day, apologized for it and said he had taken steps to fix it so it didn't happen again. The room was a bit outdated not like the one in pictures but still it was good. The neighborhood was like 30mins away in train from Paris, but worth it, being a bit away from Paris. Puteax is great, nicer people than in Paris great places to have breakfast and very clean area.

very very basicPosted May 29, 2014
Cons: The bathroom needs to be updated. some staff were not friendly at all.
The room size was okay. room was clean however the bathroom was very small and dated. The shower cubicle was so small that half of your body would stick out of the cubicle. Not value for money at all.

Perfectly snug, lovely locationPosted Mar 24, 2014 on Hotels.com
I stayed one night and was completely satisfied. It's an easy walk from the metro and there are plenty of bars and restaurants that are considerably cheaper than downtown Paris. The room was small but unless you rent your hotel rooms for the purpose of a generous cartwheeling space you will be perfectly comfortable. Charming decor; it resembles something out of a Wes Anderson movie. I would definitely recommend.
for Everyoneby Juanfrom Dallas, Texas
A good hotel at a reasonable pricePosted Feb 24, 2014
Pros: The breakfast buffet was worthwhile. I like the helpfulness of some of the front desk staff.
Location: There were some good restaurants within walking distance. There were also some pharmacies, 24 hour small food shops, and two supermarkets.
I have stayed at many hotels in the US and abroad for pleasure and business and found this hotel good for the price. The rooms are small but centrality and closeness to the Metro makes up for the room size.

Disappointing roomPosted Feb 22, 2014
Cons: The odor in the room. The helpfulness of all of the staff.
The hotel is close to the train line but not convenient to the sites of Paris. The room typically small --- and would have been fine, but there was a disconcerting odor that gave me a headache.It took them two days to fix the electrical plugs. The owner lectured me about booking with Expedia because Expedia took some of the percentage. I was unclear as to how that my fault, but clearly it colored my stay. If you need access to internet, I would not recommend this establishment.

Russian Liberal Democratic Leader Blames Meteorite Strike On Americans
Last Friday morning a meteorite pierced the sky above Russia traveling at 33,000 miles per hour. It hit the atmosphere with as much force as 30 atomic mobs and split into pieces as it traveled faster than the speed of sound. The resulting sonic boom and impact of landing broke windows in the area, injuring more than 1,200 people.
But this was no act of god, according to one Russian politician.
It was a shot across the bow by the Americans who were testing out their weapons capabilities.
ŌĆ£Those aren't meteorites falling. It's the Americans trying out a new weapon,ŌĆØ claimed Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the Liberal Democratic party of Russia, or LDPR for short.
Zhirinovsky claims the newly appointed Secretary of State John Kerry had even tried to get in touch with RussiaŌĆÖs Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ŌĆ£all day,ŌĆØ in order to warn him about the upcoming tests to take place that day.
ŌĆ£He was looking for Lavrov, and Lavrov was on a trip,ŌĆØ said Zhirinovsky.
ŌĆ£He meant to warn Lavrov about a provocation against Russia.ŌĆØ
ThereŌĆÖs already plenty here to cover, but I should state at the onset that this guy isnŌĆÖt what youŌĆÖd call a scientist. By all accounts, he doesnŌĆÖt appear to be a very nice guy at all.
According to The Independent, a woman threw sour cabbage at him during a press conference, (a la the George Bush shoe throw, IŌĆÖm sure) all while accusing him of ŌĆ£Ukrainophobia.ŌĆØ
The Daily Mail tells a story about Zhirinovsky from 2006. According to the news source, this politician suggested arming all Russian people in an ongoing war againstŌĆ"wait for itŌĆ".migratory birds who were believed to be carriers of the avian flu.
His plan, and itŌĆÖs a doozy, was to tell Russians to keep their eyes to the sky and, when they saw an offending bird, shoot it to the ground, thereby ridding the nation of the avian flu.
As you might expect, whenever something falls from the sky, human beings go into frantic search mode, looking for any piece of debris they can find. This event was no different, and so far scientists claim theyŌĆÖve found at least 50 pieces of meteorite sprinkled about the region. ThereŌĆÖs even a giant hole in a lake, which scientists believe was created by the meteorite. TheyŌĆÖve even sent divers down into the lake to look for extra pieces. Perhaps Zhirinovsky believes it to be an American weapons test because he doesnŌĆÖt believe that things suspended by lack of gravity could potentially fall and endanger the Earth.
After all, nothing like that has ever happened before, right?
"Nothing will ever fall out there, if something falls, its people doing that,ŌĆØ said Zhirinovsky.
ŌĆ£People are the instigators of wars, the provocateurs.ŌĆØ
IŌĆÖm sure thatŌĆÖs what the dinosaurs thought, too.
ThereŌĆÖs also the fact that Zhirinovsky claims John Kerry tried to get a hold of the Foreign Minister, but simply couldnŌĆÖt.
There are not a lot of details given here, but it seems equally implausible that a US Secretary of State would only alert another countryŌĆö Russia, no lessŌĆö about impending weapons tests over their area and upon failing to reach the person via telephone, just give up.
IŌĆÖm no politician, but I have to imagine that thereŌĆÖs a little more planning which takes place in these sorts of situations.
HeŌĆÖs obviously very wrong, but sometimes itŌĆÖs fun to laugh at just how wrong someone is.
Thanks, Zhirinovsky!

ABSTRACT: Radio frequency (RF) power in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) is one of the primary auxiliary heating techniques for Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). The ICRF system for EAST has been developed to support long-pulse high-β advanced tokamak fusion physics experiments. The ICRF system is capable of delivering 12 MW 1000-s RF power to the plasma through two antennas. The phasing between current straps of the antennas can be adjusted to optimize the RF power spectrum. The main technical features of the ICRF system are described. Each of the 8 ICRF transmitters has been successfully tested to 1.5 MW for a wide range of frequency (25–70 MHz) on a dummy load. Part of the ICRF system was in operation during the EAST 2012 spring experimental campaign and a maximum power of 800 kW (at 27 MHz) lasting for 30 s has been coupled for long pulse H mode operation.Fusion Engineering and Design 07/2014; · 0.84 Impact Factor
Article: Imaging of molybdenum erosion and thermography at visible wavelengths in Alcator C-Mod ICRH and LHCD discharges[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe results from imaging observations of atomic line and continuum emission in the 550.6 nm region on Alcator C-Mod. Both the 550.6 nm neutral molybdenum emission and the adjacent 549 nm continuum emission are imaged separately to isolate line emission. A few complications of using imaging to infer erosion in this wavelength region are discussed including subtraction of continuum emission and determination of an appropriate S/XB coefficient. Diagnostics of surface erosion and thermography using these emissions are briefly reviewed, and used to study phenomenology during ohmic operation, ion cyclotron range of frequencies heating (ICRH), and lower hybrid current drive (LHCD). In addition to broadening of Mo I emission regions in the outer divertor and main limiter during ICRH compared to ohmic operation, mid-plane localized heating of the main limiter associated with fast-ion impact is observed which exceeds the divertor heat flux. During LHCD operation, several localized regions of increased brightness associated with hot spots are interpreted as heating due to localized density peaking, which re-iterates the importance of imaging continuum emission for subtraction. These sources of surface heating exacerbate plasma-material interactions at the device wall and may require additional mitigation if they cannot be avoided in future machines.Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion 12/2013; 55(12):5010-. · 2.37 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Radio frequency (RF) sheath rectification is a leading mechanism suspected of causing anomalously high erosion of plasma facing materials in RF-heated plasmas on Alcator C-Mod. An extensive experimental survey of the plasma potential (ΦP) in RF-heated discharges on C-Mod reveals that significant ΦP enhancement (>100 V) is found on outboard limiter surfaces, both mapped and not mapped to active RF antennas. Surfaces that magnetically map to active RF antennas show ΦP enhancement that is, in part, consistent with the recently proposed slow wave rectification mechanism. Surfaces that do not map to active RF antennas also experience significant ΦP enhancement, which strongly correlates with the local fast wave intensity. In this case, fast wave rectification is a leading candidate mechanism responsible for the observed enhancement.Journal of Nuclear Materials 07/2013; · 2.02 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) is an attractive option for non-inductive tokamak operation due to its high current drive efficiency and ability to drive current off axis. The parameters of the Alcator C-Mod LHCD system (f0 = 4.6 GHz, B 5.5 T, ) are similar to the proposed LHCD system on ITER. This paper will describe improvements in LHCD technology on C-Mod designed to increase single-pass absorption at high , extend pulse length (to >3 s), and increase power delivered to the plasma (to ~2 MW). Modelling of lower hybrid (LH) wave propagation indicates that the observed loss of LHCD efficiency at higher can be mitigated by enhancing the single pass power absorption through use of an off mid-plane launcher. The four rows of the launcher are located above the mid-plane (with Ip and B both clockwise viewing from the top down) in order to exploit the poloidal upshift of n|| as rays propagate from the antenna into the plasma. The transmitter protection system (TPS) was redesigned to model the coolant temperature in real time and shut off the klystron beam voltage if the coolant is close to boiling. The TPS upgrade has been installed and operated on C-Mod for pulses up to 4.5 s into dummy loads and 1.0 s into the plasma. A new movable local LH launcher protection limiter was designed to reduce reflection coefficients across a wide range of launcher positions. Finally, a high power waveguide double-stub tuner is under development to provide feedback controlled load matching to reduce power reflected from the antenna under poor coupling conditions.Nuclear Fusion 06/2013; 53(7):073012. · 2.73 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Long-lived (1, 1) 'snake' modes were discovered nearly three decades ago, but basic questions regarding their formation, stability, and superb particle confinement—shown by surviving tens to hundreds of sawtooth cycles—have remained unanswered. High-resolution spectroscopic imaging diagnostics permit studies of heavy-impurity-ion snakes with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution, making it possible to positively identify the SXR signals with specific ion charge states and to infer, for the first time, the perturbed impurity density, Zeff, and resistivity at the centre of these long-lived helical modes. The results show a new scenario for the formation of heavy-impurity-ion snakes, which can begin as a broad 1/1 kink asymmetry of the central impurity-ion density, that grows and undergoes a seamless transition to a large crescent-shaped helical island-like structure inside q < 1, with a regularly sawtoothing core. This type of formation departs strongly from the nonlinear island model based on a modified Rutherford equation proposed originally to describe the pellet-induced snakes and expanded further to account for the impurity effects (e.g. and ). These new high-resolution observations show details of their evolution and the accompanying sawtooth oscillations that suggest important differences between the density and temperature dynamics, ruling out a purely pressure-driven process. Instead, many features arise naturally from nonlinear interactions in a 3D MHD model that separately evolves the plasma density and temperature.Nuclear Fusion 04/2013; 53(4):043019. · 2.73 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: New observations of the formation and dynamics of long-lived impurity-induced helical "snake" modes in tokamak plasmas have recently been carried out on Alcator C-Mod. The snakes form as an asymmetry in the impurity ion density that undergoes a seamless transition from a small helically displaced density to a large crescent-shaped helical structure inside q<1, with a regularly sawtoothing core. The observations show that the conditions for the formation and persistence of a snake cannot be explained by plasma pressure alone. Instead, many features arise naturally from nonlinear interactions in a 3D MHD model that separately evolves the plasma density and temperature.Physical Review Letters 02/2013; 110(6):065006. · 7.73 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Deuterium high-confinement (H-mode) plasmas, lasting up to 3.45 s, have been generated in the EAST by ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating. H-mode access was achieved by coating the molybdenum-tiled first wall with lithium to reduce the hydrogen recycling from the wall. H-mode plasmas with plasma currents between 0.4 and 0.6 MA and axial toroidal magnetic fields between 1.85 and 1.95 T were generated by 27 MHz ICRF heating of deuterium plasma with hydrogen minority. The ICRF input power required to access the H-mode was 1.6–1.8 MW. The line-averaged density was in the range (1.83–2.3) × 1019 m−3. 200–500 Hz type-III edge localized mode activity was observed during the H-mode phase. The H-mode confinement factor, H98IPB(y, 2), was ~0.7.Nuclear Fusion 01/2013; 53(2). · 2.73 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Operation of a double stub tuner for Alcator C-Mod lower hybrid current drive system[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes the operation of a double stub fast ferrite tuner (FFT) that we have designed for the Alcator C-Mod 4.6GHz Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) system. This FFT is unique because it uses a single electromagnet coil and permanent magnet on each tuning stub. The ferrite is located on the center of the broad face of the waveguide. The FFT is required to withstand over 200kW of power (20kW/cm2) at high VSWR (>5) for 1-3 second pulses spaced 10 minutes apart. Breakdown measurements and fabrication considerations will be discussed. Also, simulation of thermal conditions will be shown. The FFT will be computer controlled and must react to matching a load in a few hundred microseconds. This puts a severe requirement on power supply response time and its variation. In addition, the calculation time of the controlling software algorithms must be considered as well as the diffusion time of the controlling magnetic field through the waveguide wall. We will discuss these requirements and what we have done to meet them.Fusion Engineering (SOFE), 2013 IEEE 25th Symposium on; 01/2013

ABSTRACT: Recent ICRF heating experiments in HT-7 and EAST tokomaks devices are presented. Experimental results in the HT-7 device showed that the ions can be directly heated by the Mode Converted Ion Bernstein Waves (MC IBW). Numerical simulation and experimental evidence confirmed that the interaction between the MC IBW and 7Li ions at the first ion cyclotron harmonic resonance of 7Li is the main mechanism for RF power deposition. In the EAST tokomaks, density pump-out was observed during L-mode discharges at a high electron density of 4.0×1019 m-3. Increases of both the electron temperature by 1.0 keV and the stored energy by 30 kJ have been obtained. Efficient ions and electrons heating were observed with the H cyclotron resonance layer at plasma center. The electrons are predominantly heated by collisions with high energy minority ions, not directly heated by the MC waves. In 2012 ICRF campaign at EAST, H mode target by ICRF and 3He minority heating have been investigated. The ICRF-generated H-mode plasma firstly was successfully achieved. Plasma density and stored energy are greatly increased during the H mode phase. The central electron temperature has an increase of 300eV, which is opposite to the H-mode plasma target by LHCD alone. In the case of 3He minority heating, the first efficient 3He ions heating were obtained in the deuterium target plasma. In combination with ICRF and LHW, the ICRF heating efficiency is much higher than that of ICRF only since the LHW preheats background plasma to enhance the absorption of ICRF. However, combined operation of ICRF and LH often results in a degradation of the LH wave coupling due to RF sheaths induced local density modification by ICRF antenna. When a reciprocating Langmuir probe is magnetically connected to a powered ICRH antenna, large RF-induced potentials up to 90V are observed near the location of RF limiters.24th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, San Diego, USA; 10/2012

ABSTRACT: A swept-frequency X-mode reflectometer has been built on Alcator C-Mod to measure the scrape-off layer (SOL) density profiles adjacent to the lower hybrid launcher. The reflectometer system operates between 100 and 146 GHz at sweep rates from 10 μs to 1 ms and covers a density range of ∼10(16)-10(20) m(-3) at B(0) = 5-5.4 T. This paper discusses the analysis of reflectometer density profiles and presents first experimental results of SOL density profile modifications due to the application of lower hybrid range-of-frequencies power to L-mode discharges. Comparison between density profiles measured by the X-mode reflectometer and scanning Langmuir probes is also shown.The Review of scientific instruments 10/2012; 83(10):10E309. · 1.52 Impact Factor
Article: Poloidal variation of high-Z impurity density due to hydrogen minority ion cyclotron resonance heating on Alcator C-Mod[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the Alcator C-Mod tokamak, strong, steady-state variations of molybdenum density within a flux surface are routinely observed in plasmas using hydrogen minority ion cyclotron resonant heating. In/out asymmetries, up to a factor of 2, occur with either inboard or outboard accumulation depending on the major radius of the minority resonance layer. These poloidal variations can be attributed to the impurity's high charge and large mass in the neoclassical parallel force balance. The large mass enhances the centrifugal force, causing outboard accumulation while the high charge enhances ion-impurity friction and makes impurities sensitive to small poloidal variations in the plasma potential. Quantitative comparisons between existing parallel high-Z impurity transport theories and experimental results for r/a < 0.7 show good agreement when the resonance layer is on the high-field side of the tokamak but disagree substantially for low-field side heating. Ion-impurity friction is insufficient to explain the experimental results, and the accumulation of impurity density on the inboard side of flux surface is shown to be driven by a poloidal potential variation due to magnetic trapping of non-thermal, cyclotron heated minority ions. Parallel impurity transport theory is extended to account for cyclotron effects and shown to agree with experimentally measured impurity density asymmetries.Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion 03/2012; 54(4):045004. · 2.37 Impact Factor
Article: Initial results on plasma heating experiments in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies on EAST[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Plasma heating using fast waves was successfully performed on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in the H minority regime in deuterium plasmas at 27 MHz and Bo = 2.0 T. With 1.0 MW of ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) power injected at a line-averaged electron density of 4.0 × 1019 m−3, the electron temperature increased from 1.0 keV to above 2.0 keV and the loop voltage dropped. An increase in the stored energy by 30 kJ was obtained. The first H-mode plasma of 6.4 s was achieved with a combination of lower hybrid wave and ICRF heating. Density pump-out was observed during L-mode discharges at a high electron density of 4.0 × 1019 m−3. In these discharges, re-attachment of the plasma was observed when ICRF power was applied.Nuclear Fusion 03/2012; 52(3):032002. · 2.73 Impact Factor
Article: Experimental Investigation of RF Sheath Rectification in ICRF and LH Heated Plasmas on Alcator C-Mod[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Radio frequency (RF) rectification of the plasma sheath is being actively studied on C-Mod as a likely mechanism that leads to prohibitively high molybdenum levels in the plasma core of ion cyclotron RF (ICRF) heated discharges. We installed emissive, ion sensitive, Langmuir, and 3-D B-dot probes to quantify the plasma potentials ({Phi}{sub P}) in ICRF and lower hybrid (LH) heated discharges. Two probe sets were mounted on fixed limiter surfaces and one set of probes was mounted on a reciprocating (along the major radius) probe. Initial results showed that RF rectification is strongly dependent on the local plasma density and not on the local RF fields. The RF sheaths had a threshold-like appearance at the local density of {approx}10{sup 16} m-{sup 3}. Radial probe scans revealed that the RF sheaths peaked in the vicinity of the ICRF limiter surface, agreeing with a recent theory. The highest {Phi}{sub P}'s were observed on magnetic field lines directly mapped to the active ICRF antenna. Measurements in LH heated plasmas showed a strong {Phi}{sub P} dependence on the parallel index of refraction n{sub ||} of the launched LH waves: {Phi}{sub P} is greater at lower n{sub ||}. Little dependence was observed on the local plasma density.AIP Conference Proceedings. 12/2011; 1406(1).

ABSTRACT: A swept-frequency X-mode reflectometer has being installed on Alcator C-Mod to measure the SOL density profiles at three poloidal locations adjacent to the new Lower Hybrid Launcher. First results on density profile modifications at the LH launcher due to ICRH or LHCD non-linear effects will be presented. Experimental measurements indicate that the application of LH power creates a density depletion near the LH launcher, which is consistent with the influence of a ponderomotive force. At high ne, LH power increases the density in the far SOL. Application of low ICRF power decreases the density in front of the LH launcher, which may be consistent with ICRF sheath induced convective cells. Preliminary results, however, indicate that field line mapping and increasing ICRF power do not modify the density profile significantly.12/2011;

ABSTRACT: We have modulated on-axis ICRF minority heating to trigger fluctuations and core electron transport in Alcator C-Mod Internal Transport Barriers (ITB's). Temperature swings of 50% produced strong bursts of density fluctuations, measured by phase contrast imaging (PCI), while edge fluctuations from reflectometry, Mirnov coils, and gas puff imaging (GPI) simultaneously diminished. The PCI fluctuations are in phase with sawteeth, further evidence that they originate within the ITB foot. Linear gyrokinetic analysis with GS2 shows TEMs are driven unstable in the ITB by the on-axis heating, as in Refs. [1,2]. Nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence in the ITB are compared with fluctuation data using a synthetic diagnostic [1]. Strong ITB's were produced with high quality ion and electron profile data. [4pt] [1] D. R. Ernst et al., 20th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference (2006), Chengdu, China, paper IAEA-CN-149/TH/1-3. [2] D.

ABSTRACT: Demonstrating discharges on Alcator C-Mod with ITER characteristics is important to study plasma behavior during various phases and validate modeling used to project to ITER. Concentration has been on the rampup and rampdown phases. The flattop phase must meet, as close as possible, a number of parameters simultaneously; q95, elongation, n/nGr, beta-N, and H98. Experiments were performed to meet these parameters, lowering the toroidal field to 2.7 T and using 2^nd harmonic hydrogen minority heating. The lower field allowed more reliable access to these parameters. These discharges meet the ITER parameters closely, with the n/nGr value reaching 0.72 approaching the ITER value of 0.85, and were sustained for 0.5 to 1 s. EDA H-modes were obtained, showing the quasi-coherent mode at about 100 kHz, with some intermittent ELMy behavior. In addition, MHD modes are observed in the 10-25 kHz range with toroidal mode numbers n=2,3, which appear to be correlated with increasing betaN.

ABSTRACT: The design, construction and initial results of a new lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) launcher on Alcator C-Mod (Hutchinson et al 1994 Phys. Plasmas 1 1511) are presented. The new LHCD launcher (LH2) is based on a novel splitter concept which evenly distributes the microwave power in four ways in the poloidal direction. This design allows for simplification of the feeding structure while keeping the flexibility to vary the peak launched toroidal index of refraction, Ntoroidal, from −3.8 to 3.8. An integrated model predicts good plasma coupling over a wide range of edge densities, while poloidal variations of the edge density are found to affect the evenness of power splitting in the poloidal direction. The measured transmission loss is about 30% lower than the previous launcher, and a clean Ntoroidal spectrum has been confirmed. Power handling capability exceeding an empirical weak conditioning limit and reliable operation up to 1.1 MW net LHCD power have been achieved. A survey of antenna–plasma coupling shows the existence of a millimetric vacuum gap in front of the launcher. Fully non-inductive, reversed shear plasma operation has been demonstrated and sustained for multiple current diffusion times. The current drive efficiency, ηLH ≡ neR0Ip/PLH, of these plasmas is (0.2–0.25) × 1020 m−2A W−1, which is in agreement with the expected efficiency on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).Nuclear Fusion 09/2011; 51(10):103024. · 2.73 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Parametric dependences of the heat flux footprint on the outer divertor target plate are explored in EDA H-mode and ohmic L-mode plasmas over a wide range of parameters with attached plasma conditions. Heat flux profile shapes are found to be independent of toroidal field strength, independent of power flow along magnetic field lines and insensitive to x-point topology (single-null versus double-null). The magnitudes and widths closely follow that of the "upstream" pressure profile, which are correlated to plasma thermal energy content and plasma current. Heat flux decay lengths near the strike-point in H-and L-mode plasmas scale approximately with the inverse of plasma current, with a diminished dependence at high collisionality in L-mode. Consistent with previous studies, pressure gradients in the boundary scale with plasma current squared, holding the magnetohydrodynamic ballooning parameter approximately invariant at fixed collisionality-strong evidence that critical-gradient transport physics plays a key role in setting the power exhaust channel.

Article: High confinement/high radiated power H-mode experiments in Alcator C-Mod and consequences for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) QDT = 10 operation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Experiments in Alcator C-Mod in (Enhanced D-alpha) EDA H-modes with extrinsic impurity seeding (N2, Ne, and Ar) have demonstrated a direct correlation between plasma energy confinement and edge power flow, achieving values of H98 ≥ 1 for edge power flows only marginally exceeding the scaled power for access to H-mode confinement in these conditions. For lower Z impurity seeding (N2 and Ne), plasmas with high energy confinement are obtained with a radiative power fraction of 85% or larger and a reduction of the peak heat flux at the divertor by more than a factor of 5 compared to similar attached conditions. The H-mode plasmas thus achieved in Alcator C-Mod meet or exceed the requirements both in terms of divertor heat flux handling and energy confinement for ITER QDT = 10 operation and with an edge power flow only marginally above the H-mode threshold power (by 1.0–1.4) as expected in ITER.Physics of Plasmas 04/2011; 18(5):056105-056105-13. · 2.38 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The physics that sets the width of the power exhaust channel in a tokamak scrape-off layer and its scaling with engineering parameters is of fundamental importance for reactor design, yet it remains to be understood. An extensive array of divertor heat flux diagnostics was recently commissioned in Alcator C-Mod with the aim of improving our understanding. Initial results are reported from EDA H-mode discharges in which plasma current, input power, toroidal field and magnetic topology were varied. The integral width of the outer divertor heat flux footprint is found to lie in the range of 3–5mm mapped to the mid-plane. Widths are insensitive to single versus double-null topology and the magnitude of toroidal field. Pedestal physics appears to largely determine these widths; a dependence of width on plasma thermal energy is noted, yielding a reduction in width as plasma current is increased for the best EDA H-modes.Journal of Nuclear Materials 01/2011; 415(1). · 2.02 Impact Factor

Kerrigan and Jackson on making big plays on Flacco and the Ravens
CSN Washington dot com. Afflalo defensively throughout the first half and then give up some yards in the second half let's build it. Pull this one out when a lot of things and go our way it's pretty special. No sacks in the first draft pick it seems to me you started blitzing in the second half and they were ready for. Plus I think the key to that was very -- about. Get better stops on first down and limit their yards on first down put them in third and long situations and I think. That really helped us out because throughout the first half they were cane and 89 yards on first down that gave them a lot more flexibility in their play calling. Causes LeRoy planned right now unbelievable men got the trifecta that -- a sack forced fumble and recovered on one play it's pretty awesome. We appreciate your time Ryan from the very much here's rob Jackson. I ask you the same question I ask their Ryan how do you feel how big of a win. Big drama today you guys got a W you about 500. Off feels good feels good first overtime game of the season and we became a little victories you know -- play for each other. Group we -- were coming together and it feels good notably in situations. Tonight in the first half he can get any pressure on me -- time though the ball. Stood in the pocket. Second half they don't turn around. Did have a look to do their best shot the first half you know -- this thing to have knew we had to do knew what to expect and I'll be executed. CSN Washington dot com.

MEDINA, N.Y. — Government agencies aren't the only things frozen by the U.S. government shutdown.
A bald eagle that died is on ice in upstate New York.
The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports that volunteer wildlife rehabilitator Wendi Pencille of Medina normally sends eagle carcasses to the National Eagle Repository run by U.S. Fish and Wildlife outside Denver.
But as the shutdown loomed, Pencille says repository staff told her not to ship the eagle because no one would be there to receive it.
Pencille says she considered sending it to Congress instead.
For now, it remains in a freezer at the Bless the Beasts Foundation Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Medina, 40 miles west of Rochester.
In Vermont, the federal government shutdown means that federal lands will be closed to hunters, anglers and other users during the foliage season.
In the Northeast Kingdom Nulhegan Basin Division and Putney Mountain Unit of the Silvio Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge have closed to public.
The Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge is Swanton also is closed.
Vermont Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry says the shutdown comes during one of the state's busiest seasons for hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing. He says this is a time when rural communities across Vermont really count on the local revenues generated by hunting and fishing activities.
In fact, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is suspending operations nationwide due to the federal government shutdown.
For Minnesota, that means 13 national wildlife refuges, eight wetland management districts, one ecological services office and the Midwest Regional Office are closed. The closures affect more than 489,000 acres of land in Minnesota.
The partial shutdown of the federal government has made more than 128,000 acres of wildlife refuges and other lands off limits in Illinois.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Saturday that it has closed lands and facilities nationwide.
In Illinois, the agency has shut eight national wildlife refuges, as well as offices and facilities located throughout the state.
It has canceled all recreational activities at those locations, including hunting, fishing, environmental education and public events.
Throughout its eight-state Midwest region, the agency has put more than 800 employees on unpaid furlough and closed more than 1.2 million acres of federal public land.
Indiana has seen the postponement of the public opening of a 1,000-acre southwestern Indiana nature preserve that's home to river otters, bobcats and rare bird species.
The Columbia Mine Preserve had been scheduled to open to the public Saturday for hiking, bird-watching, and photography.
But Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge manager Bill McCoy tells the Princeton Daily Clarion the public opening of the preserve about 25 miles northeast of Evansville has been postponed until after the shutdown ends.
The Patoka wildlife refuge shares management responsibility of the adjoining Columbia Mine Preserve with the Sycamore Land Trust. All federal parks and wildlife areas have been temporarily shuttered by the shutdown.
McCoy says about 80 percent of U.S. Fish and Wildlife workers have been furloughed.

It is Seton 40th year!
Forty years of "doing something wonderful for God". In our fortieth year, it is providential that many things have come to fruition to allow for the building of a beautiful chapel for the children and the community.

Demolished structure in Oz Zion outpost 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Perhaps as many as 300 religious high school-aged boys gathered at Oz Zion – an
outpost at the entrance of Beit El – to spend a Shabbat engaging in collective
praying, Torah learning and singing.We have nothing against uplifting
spiritual retreats in the heart of nature. Such events can be a formative
experience for youths.Unfortunately, this particular retreat took place
in an area of Samaria designated by the IDF to be closed to civilians due to
military considerations. Organizers were well aware of this fact but
conveniently decided to ignore it. The youths who made their way to Oz Zion did
so on Shabbat eve.Planners purposely and provocatively created an
untenable situation in which the IDF would be faced with the unsavory prospect
of beginning a forced evacuation of a large group of people that would
inevitably drag on into Shabbat.Initially, that is precisely what Border
Police and the IDF began doing, despite knowing that the youths had all the
while planned to leave Oz Zion on Saturday night of their own free will. In
hindsight, the initial attempts at evacuation were unwise. And security forces
might have used excessive force, as claimed by the settler youth. But there was
absolutely no excuse for the rock throwing on the part of the settlers, which
left five Border Police officers lightly wounded, or the puncturing of the tires
of a Border Police vehicle.Ultimately, reason prevailed and a rerun of
the scenes of bloody clashes witnessed at Amona was sagaciously avoided thanks
to the levelheaded leadership of IDF officers on the scene – many of whom
themselves products of religious-Zionist schooling who identify ideologically
with the settler youth – and the intervention of Likud MK Ze'ev Elkin, chairman
of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense subcommittee on Judea and Samaria.
The IDF achieved the desired outcome – evacuation of the area – without the need
to resort to force that could have easily deteriorated into violence.On
Saturday, after the youths evacuated the area, IDF bulldozers destroyed the
illegal structures in accordance with military orders.In parallel, the
youths made a political statement calling for Jewish settlement of land adjacent
to Beit El, which Defense Minister Ehud Barak recently admitted would be part of
any future two-state solution with the Palestinians. Hopefully, Chief Rabbi of
Safed Shmuel Eliyahu and other rabbis who spent the Shabbat at Oz Zion made it
clear to the impressionable youths that while it is legitimate to peaceably
demonstrate in favor of Jewish settlements, expressions of violence against IDF
soldiers or Border Police troops is reprehensible and must be banned
unequivocally. The vast majority of young men who took part in the Shabbat will
themselves soon serve in the army. Many might become officers in combat units.
It is absolutely imperative that they learn to show respect for an institution
tasked with protecting Israelis from their many enemies.Meanwhile, IDF
officers serving in Judea and Samaria should avoid unnecessary clashes with
religious-Zionist youths.Oz Zion should serve as an example to IDF
officers of how to avoid violent confrontations while achieving security
objectives through dialogue and compromise.Too many young
religious-Zionist men and women have become disenchanted with the IDF due to its
role in evacuating Jewish settlements, particularly during the 2005
disengagement from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria.The IDF should be
sensitive to this and take care to reduce to a minimum this conflict with a
highly patriotic, idealistic segment of the population. The IDF is, of course,
the final arbiter of security considerations in Judea and Samaria and elsewhere
in Israel. And if the IDF determines that places such as Oz Zion must remain a
restricted military zone, this decision must be respected.But it is
preferable, when possible, to use intelligence and sensitivity when enforcing
IDF orders. What happened at Oz Zion is proof.

Handmade Sterling Silver Art Nouveau Pin with Amethyst
Flawlessly executed. During the 1930's a number of Americans went down to Taxco and established a silversmithing center that exists to this day. The most important of them being William Spratling. I would date this piece from the 1930's based on the design and the open C hook in the back which was usual for that time.
The pin is marked Mexico Silver and obviously a work of master craftsmanship with hand hammered adornment. Just a beautiful piece of jewelry.

Love It or Shove It: Ashley Tisdale's Gloveby Hilton Hater at . Comments
During a recent private performance for fans at The Knitting Factory in Los Angeles, Ashley Tisdale had a Michael Jackson moment.
What do you think of the glove the High School Musical star sported in the photo below?
I really think that Ashley looks good in that glove!
Actually, that's also in right now. If you go to accessory stores, there's plenty to choose from. Selena made things like that popular, because on and off her show she often has stuff like this on, although, Vanessa and Ashley wore them long before Selena and that craze started.
she looks nice without them and with them,go ashley!
Get rid of the glove, man.
Sweet girl.
