As of Tuesday, September 10, 2013

COVINGTON — From deadly tornadoes and dangerous wildfires to record flooding, Georgia has experienced its share of emergencies in recent years. And with the peak of hurricane season still to come, there is a chance for more severe weather in the months ahead.
To promote the importance of preparing before disasters strike, Gov. Nathan Deal — in cooperation with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency/Homeland Security's Ready Georgia campaign — is encouraging statewide participation in National Preparedness Month this September.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Ready America campaign, National Preparedness Month was founded after 9-11 to increase awareness and encourage action for emergency preparedness nationwide. Throughout the month, Ready Georgia will join a nationwide coalition of thousands of private, public and nonprofit organizations, each hosting local events and initiatives designed to motivate people to prepare their homes, workplaces and communities for emergencies of all kinds.
"To borrow a line from our latest public service announcements, 'Today is the day before,'" said Charley English, director of GEMA/Homeland Security. "Disasters can strike quickly, often with no warning. That means we need to treat today as if it is the day before a disaster, and we need to take steps to prepare ourselves now. That's a tough message, but it's critical. It helps to have an occasion, a point on the calendar that reminds us to take action. That's the idea behind National Preparedness Month and the activities that Ready Georgia and emergency management agencies across the state are organizing in September."
Statistics from the National Weather Service reveal that from 1995 to 2012, weather-related events have killed at least 180 people in Georgia and injured countless others. But even in the wake of these threats, a recent survey reveals many people are still not prepared. The Ready Georgia campaign provides resources that make preparedness easy. By visiting www.ready.ga.gov and creating a Ready profile, Georgians can receive a tailored communications plan for the entire family that includes the specific amount of supplies to put in their household Ready kits. The website also offers local emergency contact information and an online toolkit to help individuals and organizations localize Ready Georgia's message. For those with functional needs, the website offers emergency preparedness videos in American Sign Language, informational documents in Braille, large-print versions of promotional flyers and written transcripts of all audio/visual materials.
"The best way to survive a disaster is to become your own first responder by taking the necessary steps to prepare," said English. "Ready Georgia provides all the resources needed to prepare for the unexpected, so I encourage our citizens to visit the website and participate in the various programs during National Preparedness Month."
For more information, visit www.ready.ga.gov. For preparedness on the go, families can also download Ready Georgia's free mobile app.
Ready Georgia is a statewide campaign designed to educate and empower Georgians to prepare for and respond to natural disasters, pandemic outbreaks, potential terrorist attacks and other large-scale emergencies. The campaign is a project of GEMA and provides a local dimension to Ready America, a broader national campaign. Ready Georgia aims to prepare citizens for maintaining self-sufficiency for at least 72 hours following an emergency, and uses an interactive website, free mobile app, broadcast and print advertising and public awareness media messaging to reach its audiences. Ready Georgia is also on Facebook and YouTube.
The Red Cross offers the following tips to stay safe during a severe thunderstorm:
• Pick a safe place in your home for household members to gather during a thunderstorm. This should be away from windows, skylights and glass doors that could be broken by strong winds or hail.
• Listen to local news or NOAA Weather Radio for emergency updates. Watch for signs of a storm, like darkening skies, lightning flashes or increasing wind.
• Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are likely to occur. Many people struck by lightning are not in the area where rain is occurring.
• If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, take shelter in a substantial building or in a vehicle with the windows closed. Get out of mobile homes that can blow over in high winds.
• If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be in danger from lightning. If thunder roars, go indoors. The National Weather Service recommends staying inside for at least 30 minutes after the last thunder clap.
• Avoid electrical equipment and telephones. Use battery-powered TVs and radios instead.
• Shut windows and close outside doors securely. Keep away from windows.
• Do not take a bath, shower or use plumbing during a severe storm.
• If you are driving, try to safely exit the roadway and park. Stay in the vehicle and turn on the emergency flashers until the heavy rain ends. Avoid touching metal or other surfaces that conduct electricity in and outside the vehicle.
• If you are outside and cannot reach a safe building, avoid high ground, water, tall, isolated trees, and metal objects such as fences or bleachers. Picnic shelters, dugouts and sheds are not safe.

The NEW generation of nitrile FC2 Female Condom!
Female Health Company's "second generation" female condom, FC2,
received FDA approval in March 2009. The FC2 is made
from a proprietary nitrile polymer and is functionally equivalent to
FC1. FC2 maintains high quality, reliability and features of FC1.
The FC2 is non-latex and comes pre-lubricated with a non-spermicidal lubricant. Water based lubricants such as ID Glide, silicone based lubricants such as ID Millennium, or petroleum based products are all OK to use with FC2. When adding lubricant, educators recommend adding it to the penis or inside of the condom.

Even though raising the Medicare retirement age is both deeply unpopular with voters and a terrible policy that saves the federal government only a modest amount of money, it is still treated by the Washington media as an idea to be seriously considered. During what little TV news I've watched in the past week, I have seen multiple elected Democrats asked about it. If we are going to be discussing changing Medicare eligibility age to reduce the deficit what we should be talking about is lowering it.
The CBO has previously stated that offering a public option partially based on Medicare rate to everyone in the new Affordable Care Act exchanges would save roughly $15 billion a year. This means if we were to only allow adults between, say, the ages 50-65 on the exchange to effectively "buy into Medicare early," it should produce smaller but still real savings for the federal government.
What makes an early Medicare buy-in a good deficit reduction idea is that it is also just good policy. Unlike raising the Medicare retirement age, which would force millions of regular Americans to pay more for health care, creating an early Medicare buy-in would save both the government and regular people money. Politically, an early Medicare buy-in is also radically more popular with voters.
Of course, it is only the unpopular ideas that make regular people worse off that are considered serious in this current debate. The "deficit debate" really isn't about reducing government spending or making it more efficient.
It is sacrifice in the most traditional sense of the word. There seems to be a belief among our leaders and top media organizations that if we do the fiscal equivalent of throwing enough old people into a volcano, the market gods will finally show us favor with a bountiful harvest.

Thursday, September 12, 2013
The North Augusta offense has roared out of the gates, scoring 45, 43 and 45 points in their three contests.
Against Greenbrier, no player was more successful than running back Dashawn Barnes.
Barnes carried the ball 10 times for 116 yards and three touchdowns. His 11.6 yards per carry was just behind fellow running back Willie McCloud's 12.5.
The senior's play earned him the honor of being this week's Star Player of the Week.
"The previous week I was just slowing it down and trying to follow my blocks," Barnes said. "I guess it paid off in the game."
Having two high-caliber running backs is something that North Augusta is not accustomed to. The team has typically relied on a workhorse in the backfield. For running back coach Robert Morgan, it's a welcomed change of pace.
"It's great, it's been a while since we have ran a two back offense," Morgan said. "We soon will. What I like about Dashawn is that he works hard on the field and off the field. He's an excellent player and I enjoy coaching him."
When asked about sharing the load with McCloud, Barnes stated that he "works hard every day" to prove that he is up there with his teammate. He also pointed out that while McCloud is much more of a cut-and-run player, Barnes fancies himself as being able to run downhill with power.
"Last week I was trying not to run people over, so I guess that paid off too," Barnes joked.
Barnes also credits his offensive line for opening up holes and giving him room to run.
"We have a friendship together and we work together as a team off the field and on the field," he said.
Barnes follows defensive back Luke Smith and linebacker Jordan Blocker as players chosen for the honor.

Not quite. Led by returners Ross Apo and Mitch Mathews, alongside former UTEP star Jordan Leslie, former Stanford receiver Keanu Nelson and lightning quick freshman Trey Dye, the Cougars are still loaded.
"It's not very often that there might be two players that are out for the first game and there's not panic and racing to move players," head coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "We did target that a year ago as we watched what we thought was a strong receiving corps a year ago. They were, but they weren't deep enough. So, we targeted that in the off-season and so far it's really been nice in camp."
"We had a lot of injuries towards the end of the season last year and it really affected our passing game," said Mathews, who caught 23 passes for 397 yards and four touchdowns in 2013. "We want to make sure that if we do have guys down, which always happens in every position, that we are still deep enough."
The Cougars receivers are deep enough and tall enough. BYU has five receivers that are at least 6-foot-3, led by Kurtz and Mathews who are both 6-foot-6.
"I think it just makes Taysom's job a lot easier," said Ross Apo, a 6-foot-3 senior. "He can just put it up in the air and we'll go get it. The worst that can happen is we'll just bat it down if it's going to be intercepted."
Last year Cody Hoffman was the only consistent receiver BYU had, leading the team with 57 catches for 894 yards and five touchdowns. This year quarterback Taysom Hill will look to spread the wealth.
In fact BYU receivers coach Guy Holliday has told his guys to "make it rain," meaning, "Score," said Apo. "Score as many touchdowns as you can and make it rain. When Taysom throws it up, we know it's coming down into our hands."

WEST ALLIS, Wis. – Following a week of disrupted campaigning due to Hurricane Sandy, Mitt Romney on Friday offered the closing argument that he had hoped to be pushing all week—as a bipartisan change agent who will halt Washington gridlock to create jobs and lower the national deficit.
The Republican nominee argued vigorously that President Obama has "fallen so very short" in each of these areas, asking the electorate to judge each man by his achievements.
"He promised to be a 'post-partisan president' but he became the most partisan—blaming, attacking, dividing," Romney said to a crowd of 4,000 at a pavilion on the state fairgrounds in this Milwaukee suburb. "He said he was going to focus on creating jobs. Instead, he focused on 'Obamacare,' which killed jobs. He said he was going to cut the federal deficit in half and then he doubled it."
Romney pointed to the jobs numbers announced on Friday—which showed the unemployment rate ticking up to 7.9 percent even as 171,000 nonfarm jobs were created and more people again joined the ranks of those looking for work—as yet another example of Obama's failure.
"He said he was going to lower the unemployment rate down to 5.2 percent right now," Romney said. "Today we learned that it's actually 7.9 percent, and that's 9 million jobs short of what he promised. Unemployment is higher today than when Barack Obama took office."
As he campaigned in Montrose, Colo., Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, echoed the sentiment that the economy is not recovering fast enough.
"What we are seeing today is that 23 million Americans are struggling to find work today. What we see today is that 15 percent of our fellow countrymen and women are leaving in poverty. This is the highest poverty rate in a generation," Ryan said.
The Obama campaign responded by calling Romney's claims laughable and arguing that he would bring back the "failed policies of the past."
"If we've learned one thing about Mitt Romney in the closing days of this campaign, it's that he can't be trusted to tell the truth or keep his word," wrote Obama for America spokeswoman Lis Smith in an e-mail to reporters. "He's been spreading falsehoods about Jeep and [General Motors] and misrepresenting his positions on everything from health care to foreign policy. That's why Americans should be very wary of his claims of bipartisanship."
Romney touted his own experiences in the business world ("I built a business, and turned around another"), overseeing the Salt Lake City Olympics ("I helped put an Olympics back on track"), and running the state of Massachusetts ("I learned as governor of Massachusetts that the best achievements are shared achievements") as examples of his own achievements that show he has the leadership skills needed to run the country.
"President Obama promised change, but he could not deliver it," he said. "I promise change, and I have a record of achieving it."
Romney kicked off the final four days of the campaign here in Wisconsin, a state he hasn't visited since the middle of August and that was once thought to be a safe bet for Obama.
But after adding native son Ryan to his ticket and his strong debate performances, polls have shown the race tightening in the Badger State. The most recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll showed Obama up 49 percent to 46 percent, a lead within the margin of error.
As he did in the debates, Romney continued to sell himself as a moderate dealmaker who will work to find Democrats that he can work with in Congress to pass legislation—something he said the president would be unable to do.
"You know that if the president is reelected he will still be unable to work with the people in Congress," Romney said. "I mean, he has ignored them. He has attacked them. He has blamed them."
A Romney administration, he said, would be different. "I won't just represent one party, I'll represent one nation."
He was drowned out by applause—a sign that his new message of cooperation and unity has hit a chord with voters in the Midwest.
The message has been carried across the ticket as Ryan touted his and Romney's records of working across the aisle.
"We can come together," he said. "Republicans and Democrats can come together to solve this country's problems. And we have a proven record for actually doing that. Mitt Romney did that that as governor, and I have been doing that in the House. We know that Americans love America and it doesn't matter what party you come from. We can fix this country's problems."

Nova fires 3-hitter in Yankee win
NEW YORK (AP) — Ivan Nova threw a three-hitter for his first career shutout and Robinson Cano supplied the offense as the New York Yankees edged Baltimore 2-0 Saturday for their second straight win over the Orioles.
Nova (8-4) outworked Scott Feldman in an efficient 104-pitch outing for his second complete game, helping the Yankees move past their division rival by a half-game in the AL wild-card chase. New York entered the final day of August trailing Tampa Bay by 4½ games. Baltimore trailed by four.
The Yankees were looking for another big offensive day after beating Baltimore 8-5 on Friday night. But Alex Rodriguez was scratched due to flu-like symptoms and Feldman (4-4) shut New York down allowing a leadoff double to Brett Gardner and Cano's RBI double in the first.
Cano later drilled a line drive to right field off Troy Patton leading off the eighth for his 25th home run.
Feldman yielded six hits in seven innings.
DETROIT (AP) — Omar Infante homered twice and drove in five runs to power Detroit to its third consecutive win.
The Tigers stretched their lead in the AL Central to 8½ games over the second-place Indians despite playing without slugger Miguel Cabrera, who was sidelined by irritation of the abdominal area. The team says the reigning AL MVP is day to day.
Infante hit a three-run homer in the second and a two-run shot in the sixth for Detroit, which has won seven in a row against Cleveland to improve to 15-3 against the Indians this year.
Yan Gomes homered in the seventh and Carlos Santana added a two-run inside-the park home run for the Indians, who have lost five in a row.
Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez (12-7) allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Cleveland starter Scott Kazmir (7-7) gave up four runs and seven hits in five innings.
BOSTON (AP) — Jake Peavy pitched seven strong innings against his former team, Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and the Red Sox won for the sixth time in seven games.
Ellsbury also scored twice and drove in a run for the AL East leaders. David Ortiz, who snapped an 0-for-23 stretch with a two-run single in Friday's win, went 2 for 4 with a walk and an RBI in Boston's 15-hit attack.
Peavy (11-5) allowed two runs and five singles in his sixth start for the Red Sox, who acquired the right-hander in a three-team deal on July 30.
Chicago, last in the AL Central, had won 10 of 12 before dropping the first two of a three-game series against Boston. John Danks (4-11) gave up six runs, five earned, and 11 hits over five innings.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Coco Crisp had three hits, including a home run, and drove in two runs, Sonny Gray threw 6 2-3 stellar innings, and Oakland beat Tampa Bay.
Gray (2-2) allowed five hits, walked one and struck out seven and the A's won their fifth in six games to remain two games behind the Texas Rangers in the AL West.
James Loney had two hits for the Rays, who fell for the sixth time in seven games and fell 4½ games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East.
The A's and Rays are the top two teams in the AL wild-card race.
Alex Cobb (8-3) lost for the first time since April 30 despite allowing two runs and five hits. He walked four and struck out seven.
Grant Balfour pitched the ninth, giving up an RBI single to Desmond Jennings, for his 35th save in 37 chances.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Leonys Martin hit a game-winning bases-loaded single with two outs in the ninth inning to give Texas a victory over Minnesota.
Alex Rios doubled with one out against losing pitcher Caleb Thielbar (2-2).
Two walks and one out later, Martin sent a ground ball past Brian Duensing, the Twins' third pitcher of the inning, to send Rios home.
Starting pitchers Matt Garza of the Rangers and Mike Pelfrey each gave up a first-inning run before shutting out their opponent over the next six innings.
Brian Dozier led off the game with his 15th home run, a season record for a Minnesota second baseman.
Adrian Beltre's sacrifice fly following two singles allowed Texas to tie the score 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning.
Joe Nathan (5-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.
The Rangers' Elvis Andrus left the game that inning because of tightness in his lower back.
TORONTO (AP) — Brett Lawrie drove in the tiebreaking run with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth inning, helping Toronto rally for the win.
Toronto batted around while scoring three unearned runs in the eighth against four relievers. Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar helped the Blue Jays with a key error.
The late rally made a winner of knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (11-12), who allowed two runs and seven hits in eight innings. Casey Janssen finished for his 26th save in 28 chances, with pinch runner Chris Getz thrown out trying to steal second for the final out.
Kansas City reliever Kelvin Herrera (5-7) recorded one out and was charged with two runs and two hits. Aaron Crow issued consecutive bases-loaded walks to Lawrie and Rajai Davis, giving the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead.
HOUSTON (AP) — Joe Saunders pitched neatly into the sixth inning for his first win in a month, and Seattle earned its third consecutive victory.
Kendrys Morales, Nick Franklin and Dustin Ackley each drove in a run for the Mariners, who had lost six in a row before the series against the major league-worst Astros. They will have Hisashi Iwakuma on the mound when they go for a series sweep.
Saunders (11-13) yielded an unearned run and six hits over 5 1-3 innings in his first win since Aug. 4 at Baltimore. The left-hander was 0-3 with an 8.31 ERA in his previous four starts.
Matt Dominguez and Brandon Barnes had two hits apiece for Houston (44-91), which appears to be headed for its third straight 100-loss season. Dallas Keuchel (5-8) gave up three runs — all in the first — and four hits in seven innings.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A.J. Burnett scattered four hits over seven innings, Russell Martin hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 on Saturday night to regain sole possession of the NL Central lead.
Neil Walker added three hits for the Pirates, who improved to 79-56 and moved within three victories of their first winning season since 1992.
Burnett (7-9) gave up one run while striking out six and walking one. He received plenty of offensive help only hours after Pittsburgh acquired first baseman Justin Morneau from the Minnesota Twins.
Morneau arrived in the Pirates' dugout in the sixth inning. By then Pittsburgh had things well in hand. Martin keyed a five-run second with his drive off Lance Lynn (13-9).
The trade for Morneau marked the second big move by the Pirates in five days as they try to beat out St. Louis and Cincinnati in baseball's tightest division race. Pittsburgh brought in Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adrian Gonzalez hit a tying single in the seventh inning, pinch-hitter Mark Ellis singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth and Los Angeles rallied to beat San Diego.
Just as the game ended, the Dodgers announced they had acquired third baseman Michael Young from the Philadelphia Phillies for minor league lefty Rob Rasmussen.
The Dodgers ended August with a 23-6 record, their most wins in a month since moving to Los Angeles in 1958. The club record of 25 was set in July 1947 and equaled in August 1953, when the team played in Brooklyn.
Brian Wilson (1-0) came on in relief to earn the victory — his first since joining the Dodgers last week. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 25 chances.
Nick Vincent (3-2) took the loss after relieving starter Andrew Cashner. Ronny Cedeno homered for the Padres.
Dodgers starter Chris Capuano struck out seven in seven innings.
DENVER (AP) — Brandon Phillips tripled, homered and doubled in his first three at-bats, Greg Reynolds beat his former team for his first major league win in two years, and Cincinnati defeated Colorado.
Phillips scored three runs, drove in two and just missed becoming the first Reds player to hit for the cycle since Eric Davis against San Diego on June 2, 1989.
Phillips connected in the third off Juan Nicasio (8-7) for his 17th home run.
Colorado's Todd Helton remained one hit shy of 2,500, going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts a night after homering twice and matching a career high with six RBIs.
Making his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Louisville to fill in for injured Tony Cingrani, Reynolds (1-2) allowed three runs on seven hits over eight innings in his first career start against the Rockies, who drafted him in the first round in 2006.
He fanned five, striking out the side in the seventh, and walked none in his first big league win since July 2, 2011, against Kansas City while with the Rockies.
ATLANTA (AP) — B.J. Upton had four hits, including the game-winning single in the 11th inning, and Atlanta beat Miami for its sixth straight win.
Upton, who entered the game hitting only .186, had a two-run homer and three singles after striking out in his first two at-bats. The single in the 11th off Ryan Webb (1-5) drove in pinch-runner Paul Janish from second base.
With one out in the 11th, Chris Johnson singled up the middle for his fourth hit.
Luis Ayala (1-1) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Upton hit his first homer since June 15.
Justin Ruggiano and Giancarlo Stanton homered for the Marlins, who have lost six straight.
Jacob Turner, who tied a Marlins record with three errors, couldn't hold a 3-1 lead.
CHICAGO (AP) — Starlin Castro hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning to lead Chicago over Philadelphia.
Cole Gillespie drove in two runs for the Cubs, who earned their fourth win in 20 home games since the All-Star break. Castro connected off Zach Miner (0-1) for his eighth homer and first since July 31 against Milwaukee.
Michael Young had three more hits for Philadelphia, hours before he was traded to the Dodgers. Kevin Frandsen homered for the second straight day, but Philadelphia dropped to 9-7 under interim manager and former Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg.
Carlos Villanueva (3-8) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win and Kevin Gregg got his 28th save in 33 chances. Five Cubs relievers combined for four innings of two-hit ball.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Zack Wheeler pitched effectively into the seventh inning and New York piled up a season-high 17 hits in routing Washington.
Eric Young Jr., Daniel Murphy, Josh Satin and Juan Lagares had three hits apiece for the Mets, who scored 11 runs for the second time in three days and won their third straight.
The news wasn't all good for the injury-riddled Mets, though. First baseman Ike Davis left with a strained muscle on his right side after hitting a sacrifice fly in the third.
Wheeler (7-3) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings. Since the start of July, the touted rookie is 6-2 with a 2.96 ERA.
The Nationals dropped 7½ games behind Cincinnati for the second NL wild card. Denard Span had three hits for Washington, extending his hitting streak to 14 games.
Dan Haren (8-12) allowed seven runs and nine hits in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest start of the season.
The Mets have won 10 of Wheeler's 14 starts, and he improved to 5-0 with a 2.19 ERA on the road.
PHOENIX (AP) — Eric Chavez hit the first pitch he saw in the ninth inning for a run-scoring single, lifting Arizona over San Francisco for its latest walk-off victory.
Willie Bloomquist singled off Sandy Rosario (3-2) for his third hit and moved up on Adam Eaton's sacrifice bunt. After an intentional walk to Paul Goldschmidt, Chavez lined a single into left-center for his fifth career game-ending hit.
Brad Ziegler (8-1) worked a perfect ninth to set up Arizona's 12th walk-off victory this season and 29th comeback win.
Gregor Blanco hit a solo homer and Hunter Pence had three hits for the Giants.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pinch-hitter Hank Conger came through with a two-run homer in the ninth inning off closer Jim Henderson that sent Los Angeles past Milwaukee.
The Brewers had been 50-0 this season when leading after eight innings, the only team in the majors without a loss.
Henderson (3-4) retired his first two batters in the ninth before pinch-hitter Josh Hamilton doubled off the glove of sliding right fielder Caleb Gindle. Conger followed with his seventh home run.
Dane Da La Rosa (6-1) pitched a perfect eighth and Ernesto Frieri earned his 29th save in 33 chances.
Jonathan Lucroy drove in four runs and scored another for the Brewers.

Technology update
Jun 17, 2008
Interference fringes create sensing template
Researchers in the UK have shown that highly uniform nanostructured arrays can be fabricated affordably on a centimeter-scale using interference lithography. Made using standard coating techniques, the patterned devices provide a platform for ultrasensitive biodetection together with a white-light source and a spectrometer.
The University of Birmingham team has put its centimeter-sized hybrid metallic nanostructured arrays to the test by monitoring the shift in the chip's extinction spectrum following the addition of absolute ethanol. Initially, the surface produced a spectrum with peaks at 585.3 and 493.6 nm, but when a drop of ethanol was placed on the chip the peaks shifted to 451.3 and 618.2 nm.
Pattern transfer
To make its sensing device, the group uses a combination of interference lithography, metal deposition and etching. First, the team deposits a 20 nm chromium film on a 2 × 2 cm fused silica substrate that has been cleaned and baked (170 °C for 1 hour). Next, a 120 nm layer of AZ3100MI positive resist is spun on top of the chromium film followed by a post-application bake at 100 °C for 15 mins.
Next it's time to pattern the substrate. The researcher's interference lithography set-up is based on a Lloyd's mirror configuration. A mirror is placed normal to the substrate and illuminated with an s-polarized laser beam with a wavelength of 442 nm. Part of the incident laser beam is reflected by the mirror and interferes with the unreflected part of the beam to form an optical pattern of light and dark lines.
It's possible to reuse the substrates many times by first removing the silver layer and then depositing a fresh filmKyle Jiang, University of Birmingham
The resist is exposed by the interference fringe for 8 seconds. After rotating the sample by 90 °, the exposure is repeated to form an array of nanopillars. The resist is then developed in Microposit 303A for around 30 seconds and rinsed in deionized water. Next, the resist residue is removed using reactive ion etching and a second etching process is initiated to transfer the array pattern into the fused silica substrate.
Finally, a 40 nm thick film of silver is deposited on the fused silica nanopillars to create a periodic array of metallic nanostructures that exhibits localized surface plasmon resonance.
"Our large area structures can be divided up to compare experimental results," Kyle Jiang of the University of Birmingham's micro and nanoengineering group told nanotechweb.org. "It's possible to reuse the substrates many times by first removing the silver layer and then depositing a fresh film."
Fine tuning
As Jiang points out, the pillar size can be adjusted by selecting different exposure doses and the pitch can be modified by changing the incident angle of the interference lithography beam. By fine tuning the structure, the researchers hope to obtain an array with stronger field enhancement properties.
The researchers presented their work in Nanotechnology.

(Memphis 2/21/2012) Frustrated, fed up, Mo' Money customers say they've been waiting on their tax refunds for weeks, and now they can't get their cash or answers.
"The doors is locked, you can't talk to no one, all the Mo' Money is closed. It's just messy, very messy," says Yvonne Cobbins.
It's a scene that's played out since the beginning of the month at Mo Money and Money Co offices around the MidSouth and across the country.
Customers promised fast refunds say they've only gotten the run around in return.
"I paid over $500 dollars to get my taxes done," adds Cobbins.
"They saying the banks fixin' to Fed Ex 'em all out, how, but the banks saying they have no control of that money. It's still in Mo Money's hands," says Vicki Davis.
Congressmen have called for an investigation. The IRS says information has been turned over to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
Meanwhile, owner Markey Granberry continues to say it's not his fault.
"This is not a Mo' Money, Money Co USA Taxes problem, this is a systematic problem," Granberry told reporters at a press conference earlier this month.
"I don't have the money," he told a Virginia reporter.
Now, Granberry's own wife is asking where's the money?
The On Your Side Investigators poured through hundreds of pages of public records.
Granberry's wife of 20 years filed for divorce in September.
In court documents, Ellen Granberry said her husband withdrew $750,000 from a joint account in 2009.
She claims he could be hiding assets.
In August of 2011, Germantown Police arrested Granberry for domestic assault.
Mrs. Granberry alleges the Mo' Money co-founder beat her oldest son, and tried to strangle her.
Public Records also paint a picture of Granberry's luxurious lifestyle.
From a $1.4 million home in Shelby County to cars like a Lamborghini, a Bentley, a Lexus, a Mercedes and an Escalade.
A budget filed in court records includes $800 a month for housekeeping and $200 for fish tank maintenance.
Records also show Granberry isn't keeping up with his obligations.
As of late last week, he's behind some $55,000 dollars in taxes on properties listed under his name and associated businesses.
Some delinquent taxes date back to 2009 and at least four properties were slated for tax sale.
So what does the head of Mo Money have to say about all of this?
We contacted Granberry several times and he said he'd give us an interview, but that still hasn't happened.
We were removed form Mo' Money's main office last week and tried to catch him multiple times at the car dealership he owns.
Still, no answers for us, or the thousands of customers waiting for their money.

UT - And Its President - Named Best of Year by Business Journal
Published: Dec 5, 2008
University of Tampa President Ronald Vaughn was selected as the 2008 Business Executive of the Year, and UT was selected 2008 Business of the Year in the education category, by the Tampa Bay Business Journal at an awards ceremony on Dec. 4.
Vaughn was one of seven finalists, and UT was chosen as one of two finalists. The winners were screened and selected by an independent panel of judges from Tampa Bay's business community.
Vaughn, who has been president of UT since 1995, has overseen a period of unprecedented growth and stability at the University. UT has seen record enrollment in the past decade, and educates approximately 5,800 graduate and undergraduate students at its downtown Tampa campus. Last year students, faculty and staff provided more than 80,000 hours of community service to local organizations, and UT's annual economic impact is approximately $500 million. UT has seen more than $210 million in new construction since 1997.
A recent article in the Tampa Bay Business Journal states that UT, under Vaughn's leadership, has taken a more comprehensive approach to the education and development of its students than other universities. This philosophy has led to new programs focusing on the development of leadership skills, life skills and spirituality.
The article also states that with many families feeling the sting of the financial crisis, UT has ramped up efforts to make financial aid available to students.
Most recently, Vaughn received the 2007 H.L. Culbreath Profile in Leadership Award from Leadership Tampa Alumni and last year was named Tampa Bay CEO of the Year for community action.
The event was sponsored by the Tampa Bay Business Journal, Tampa Bay Workforce Alliance and Audio Visual Support Service Inc., and was held at the A La Carte Event Pavilion in Tampa.

12 Cute And Easy-To-Carry Clutch Wallets
cute wallets g1 jpg
1 of 13
There's just something about fall that seems like the perfect time to invest in a new wallet. Maybe because you're switching from summer's canvas totes to autumn's leather hobos and need a wallet to match? Or perhaps it's because all the gift-buying holidays are coming up and if you're gonna have to spend money, better keep it organized. Whatever the reason, here are 12 cute wallets to fit every budget -- their hand-clutching size means they can double as clutches too (if you've got a pocket to keep your cell phone in, that is)!

Local Campus Policies
Any full-time student who wishes to live off campus must request a waiver of the Board of Trustees' Policy. This waiver form is available from the Office of Residential Life and online. All waiver requests will be considered in accordance with the SUNY policy and the Board of Trustees' intent to maximize the educational process. Certain conditions, if met, assure an individual of permission to live off campus. These specific exceptions are as follows:

LEWISBURG — Plans were announced today for a new $6 million recreation and wellness center in Union County.
A well-known family in Lewisburg is spearheading the effort to for the fitness center. The Miller family owns Playworld Systems, which makes playground equipment. Now, they hope to create a place where people from all over central Pennsylvania can come to play.
This vacant building on Saint Mary Street near Lewisburg used to be a furniture warehouse. Over the next few years, the plan is to turn it into a 90,000 square foot, state of the art recreation and wellness center.
"Wouldn't it really be great if we had a central location in the center of our community where people could come and meet all our recreation needs?" Miller said.
The Millers had the idea for the facility and are giving $2.5 million to the project. Geisinger Health System will provide other funding along with health and fitness expertise.
"We really hope that down the line they're going to add programming as well so we have leading information on how to impact people's well-being," Miller said.
Miller says the facility will include hard courts for basketball, an indoor field, fitness activities, physical therapy and more.
Miller also hopes to put a cafe in the facility. He wants to do that right here so people using the rail trail could also have easy access.
"We don't really have anything in the area and it's a very large building so it seems like it would probably benefit the community quite a bit," John Eisenhart said.
"I think it's a great idea. I had no idea that this was coming to be and it's going to do this community a great service," Albert Hess said.
The building is across the street from Lewisburg Recreation Park, and next to part of the nine mile rail trail.
"To be able to have a facility like this that's open 12 months out of the year, I think that's going to elevate the level of opportunity for the community," Miller said.
Miller hopes to break ground on the recreation and wellness center by the end of next year. Once the facility is open, he expects the Buffalo Valley Recreation Authority to be in charge of the programs.

Kinard Elementary Explores York Tech
ROCK HILL, SC — The
entire fifth grade class from Kinard Elementary made a visit to York
Technical College today as a part of the grade's Exploration Week, in
to expose the students to the two-year college experience.
This is the first year Kinard has done a
trip like this. Kinard Guidance Counselor
Ykwanda Coakley coordinated this trip in order to provide students
with a unique learning experience. "We just wanted to do
something different. We wanted to use the resources around us to
expose the kids to both the two-year and four-year college
experience.... This is a wonderful opportunity for them," Coakley
said. As
the 53 curious elementary students filled the halls of York Tech, they
did not hesitate to ask questions. From inquiries about what goes on
in the criminal justice department, to the inner workings of the
college's manufacturing robots, they wasted no time raising their
hands. When fifth grader
Madison Adams was asked about her favorite part of the visit she said, "It was awesome to be able to watch the robots put
the parts together."To see photos of the students'
exploration, visit the York Tech Facebook page at

Greg Smith, who publicly resigned from Goldman Sachs and is releasing a tell-all book, quit the financial firm only after he was denied a raise that would have doubled his compensation to over $1 million and a promotion, according to documents Goldman Sachs released today first to Bloomberg News.
Goldman Sachs is fighting back against Smith, who is set to appear on 60 Minutes to promote his book Why I Left Goldman Sachs. The documents released by Goldman Sachs, a summary of Goldman Sachs' investigation into Smith's claims, will potentially confirm what many had initially suspected, that Smith was a disgruntled employee and not a whistleblower who was leaving Goldman Sachs because the firm had become "toxic and destructive," as Smith described it in the resignation letter he submitted to the opinion pages of The New York Times in March.
Smith had framed his resignation as a moral decision, one that was motivated by the "decline in the firm's moral fiber" and his observation that Goldman Sachs had become a place where "callously people talk about ripping their clients off."

LOS ANGELES (October 10, 2012)--Alex Karras, who gained fame first as a fearsome defensive lineman during his 12 seasons and later as an actor, died Wednesday at the age of 77.
Craig Mitnick, Karras' attorney, said Karras died Wednesday at home in Los Angeles surrounded by family.

Detroit drafted Karras, who grew up in Gary, Ind., 10th overall in 1958 out of Iowa.
