Breeding at it's best. I could imagine him pumping her full of cum at the end! So erotic!
Damn lucky bitch!

That female doesn't have any dick sucking skills.

Damn... Just DAMN. Red hot black Mega*****rips a hot milf and almost breaks the bed doing it. He's hungry as *****and she's desperate for some REAL cock in her cunt... perfect combo. Slut is so hot she can't even breathe.
I'm guessing her dickless cuckold filmed it for us and then sucked every drop of *****semen from her torn pussy. Based on how hard she fucks, we can assume he's worthless in bed. At least he gets good jerkoff videos.
she takes dick good
Wow! That lady likes to have her pussy stretched and pounded! Don't know if this is a cuckold scene or not, but if so, then hubby must have loved watching those big swinging baby makers pounding his wife's ass as they prepared to shoot a powerful, potent load of foreign sperm into her belly.
I'm surprised he didn't knock her clear across the room with one of his thrusts. He is massive!

Man pleads guilty to 8 fishing, oyster violations
BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries says a 25-year-old Houma man arrested for alleged oyster and boating violations has pleaded guilty to 18 earlier charges.
Wildlife and Fisheries' Enforcement Division spokesman Adam Einck says Danny T. Billiot Jr. was sentenced to six months in jail and 18 months of probation.
He says agents boarded Billiot's boat on Oct. 11 and cited him for allegedly oystering without a license, life vest or fire extinguisher on board, and using a vessel without proper boat numbers. Then they learned he had eight outstanding warrants in Terrebonne Parish.
Billiott was booked into the Terrebonne Parish Jail and pleaded guilty Oct. 12 to charges dating from April 2007 until August 2012. They included some on which he was booked again Oct. 11.

Hi all,
Just developed my first roll Kodak pro 160 , 6X6 format using Unicolor C41 kit.
I follow instruction carefully. Scan using Epson V600 and vuescan.
seems something wrong, any one help me please?
Looks fine to me. Getting colours right from colour neg scans can be quite hard. Try opening the tiff in Photoshop and play with Curves to see if you can get a result you're happy with.
Hi eriklovold ,
thanks for reply. I'm using vuescan for years, I scanned a roll of commercial developed film yesterday, with good result. Anyway, thanks for your idea, and I will try to edit tiff file and see if I can correct the color fading problem.
here's the commercial developed film , and I scan it with epson V600.
color corrected in photoshop. looks much better now. thanks !
Color negative film can register much higher contrast than a JPG file or photographic paper. When you scan negative film, and especially with motives that have a high scene brightness ratio, the scanner post processing software will compress contrast to make it fit into 8 bit color space. As a result, the image will look faded and contrastless, just as if you print a b&w neg on gradation 0 paper. Get the negs printed optically and you'll see that colors are most likely fine and dandy. If you insist on hybrid work flow, plan for digital post processing on your computer.
PS: I realize that this topic reaches deeply into DPUG area. Reason I think it should still be discussed here on APUG is because many people judge color negatives based on poor and unprocessed scans and reach very wrong conclusions about the film material and its development.
Trying to be the best of whatever I am, even if what I am is no good.
I'd be interested in seeing a manually corrected wet print from that negative for comparison.

"manually corrected" tends to imply that the neg is "wrong" which I suspect it isn't and therein lies the problem with terminology when scanning is involved and confusion arises.
I'd like to see a wet print with the correct colour filtration applied in the enlarger. I see no reason why it shouldn't match the scan-corrected image.
In our local area , only one shop can process c41 , but then films that processed by them looks dirty and scratches sometime. otherwise films that developed by them can be really easy to scan with correct color reproduction.
I purchased Unicolor c41 kit recently, just because I want to get rid of scratches and dirty film from local shop.
No manual enlarge service in our country now, they will just scan it either Noritsu or Fuji Frontier scanner and print it .
I used Acer scanwit 2740 for years, ( with vuescan software ) and bought Epson V600 recently, for medium format scan.
Can't afford to invest RA4 print equipments yet.
With home developed C-41 I find I am happier with an extra 15 seconds in the color developer.

That may make it very difficult to make wet prints, should you ever wish to do so. Current papers are all high-contrast and you're effectively pushing your film half a stop.
For portraits I know I'm going to wet-print, I often find a 1-stop pull valuable.
ewsphoto: have a read of the C41-scan link in my FAQ; it may help you with colour correction in scanning. I wouldn't assume that your chemical process is wrong just yet.

Flying to College on the Cheap As Fares Rise, Students and Teachers Can Still Snare Deals
By SCOTT MCCARTNEY
Higher airfares have raised the cost of higher education, from trips home for college students at Thanksgiving to study-abroad semesters. But two little-known companies that negotiate big discounts with airlines can save hundreds of dollars for students and their ticket-buying parents.
Even though airlines have piled on fees and eliminated most special discounts like senior-citizen fares and half-price tickets for young children, one vestige of airline goodwill remains. Several air carriers still offer special deals for students — and teachers as well.

Author recognized as ship's Sailor of the Year shortly after being 'arrested.'
- Filed Under
I suppose in the great scheme of things that my criminal record is pretty short: one ticket, one arrest and one investigation. However, I learned a valuable lesson from each incident.
I got the ticket while riding my motorcycle, an old Norton 850 Commando with a kick starter, inside the base at Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Fla. I was definitely guilty of a "rolling stop," and I've made it a point to come to a complete halt at stop signs ever since, even if there's no other vehicles for miles around.
My arrest was a little more problematic. I was a seaman apprentice assigned to this worn out, World ...

SOPA and PIPA
If it's not clear already, Weebly is strongly against SOPA and PIPA. Here's a Fox News Live interview I did yesterday explaining our reasoning:
Excited to be at the sfCITI announcement! Read more about it here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/13/ron-conway-mayor-lee-and-heather-harde-launch-sfciti-want-to-keep-sf-at-the-forefront-of-tech/
This story has never been told, and it's incredibly important to tell it today; it's a perfect example of what might come to be if SOPA becomes law -- a shoot first, question later mentality held by GoDaddy. Want to know what the world would be like under SOPA? Read on.
Sometime in 2009, Weebly was starting to gain momentum. We hadn't yet achieved the scale we have today, but we were hosting a couple million websites -- certainly a decent size by any measure. We registered weebly.com with GoDaddy back in early 2006, and hadn't paid any attention to our registrar since then. After all, GoDaddy was a reputable registrar and a decent place to house your domain.
One Saturday in the summer of 2009, we were eating lunch at Big Daddy's Burgers in South Lake Tahoe. I received a call from an unknown number on my cell phone, sometime around noon. I don't usually answer these calls, but we were waiting for our food, and for some reason this time I did.
The person on the other end seemed startled that I had actually answered. It was someone from GoDaddy's abuse department, who informed me that they were "turning off" weebly.com due to a complaint.
"WHAT?" I said frantically into the phone. He explained that they had received a complaint about the content of a site, and that they were removing the DNS entries for weebly.com because of it. I asked him if they had contacted us previously -- he responded that they hadn't.
The site in question featured a bad review of a local business, and that business had complained. Why on earth would a domain registrar take it upon themselves to police content?
As calmly as I possibly could at that moment, I explained to him that Weebly served millions of websites -- most of them US small businesses -- and asked if he had already changed the DNS entries. He said that he had, but that it wouldn't hit the system for another 10 minutes or so, and he could quickly revert it. Unbelievable -- crisis narrowly averted.
The very next day, we proceeded to transfer all of our domain names away from GoDaddy, to a registrar that actually cares about their customers.
This will be the future of the Internet if SOPA passes. A place where a complaint "in good faith" is all that is needed to take down millions of small businesses. This "shoot first" mentality, at the DNS level, is utterly destructive.
The "trial" and sentencing is performed by indifferent corporations who don't care about the collateral damage they cause. When they do cause damage, they plead ignorance or incompetence, and enforce double standards -- similar to how the RIAA recently blamed illegal downloading on their own network on a third party contractor, while holding individuals responsible for the same thing.
Unless this is the future you would like to live in, SOPA must be stopped.
Weebly Holiday Party set list
I had a great time DJing at our recent holiday party in San Francisco for about 600 people. Here's the set list in case you're interested (not in exact order) -- make sure you scroll down as some of the best stuff is last:
It's hard to conceptualize the value $500 when you've just raised a couple million from investors. The measly few hundred -- or few thousand -- dollar expenses seem to be too unimportant to even consider.
Over time, we've started looking at things in a way that can bring it all in perspective. Consider this: if you've raised $2M at an $8M pre-money valuation, that $2M is worth 20% of your company. Each time you raise money, you are giving up a certain amount of equity to someone else in return for that money. And each time you spend money, you're spending equity in your company.
While it might seem like a $20,000 couch isn't an expense to fret over, that couch cost you 0.2% of your company. Likewise, a $250/month expense, while seemingly too insignificant to worry about, represents almost 0.1% of your company over 3 years.
The lesson here isn't to be penny wise and pound foolish -- certain expenses pay for themselves many times over -- but rather to carefully consider where you decide to spend your equity.
A Global Database for Facial Recognition
An article on Reddit recently (Unidentified hot girl stealing my Christmas presents) got me thinking: why hasn't a private company created a global database for facial recognition matching?
The pieces are all there: Crawl Facebook's publicly available data and index people's profile pictures. Then, provide a service where anybody can upload a picture and it will attempt to provide a match for the faces in the picture. It's sort of a DNA matching database for photos, if you will.
The implications are a bit frightening, but it's likely just a matter of time before someone does this exact thing, unless the law changes. IANAL, but it seems pretty clear that there is no expectation of privacy in public.

How to add an index to a large MyISAM table
Disclaimer: This worked for me, it might not work for you. Please back up your data before trying any of this.
You usually discover the breaking points of a particular schema once the table reaches a certain size. Unfortunately, at that point, ALTER-ing the table to add the appropriate index can take a really, really, really long time, especially if you get stuck in MySQL's dreaded "Repair With Keycache" phase.
I recently needed to alter a few tables with >50M rows in as little as time as possible. Here's one solution that goes reasonably fast if you have access to a machine with lots of memory:
Authorize.net MD5 mismatch
Earlier today -- between 12:04 and 12:07pm PST, to be specific -- Authorize.net changed the way their API worked, unannounced, that caused successful transactions to not be recorded by us and many others, including ZenCart customers, and who knows how many others.
A Silent POST is the mechanism by which Authorize.net POSTs back to our servers to inform us of the outcome of a transaction. An MD5 hash is used to authenticate that the POST is legitimate, and one of the values hashed is the transaction amount.
Starting today, they are now passing the x_amount parameter back as 19.9500 (as an example) but still using 19.95 as the amount for the x_MD5_Hash parameter.
An immediate fix would require stripping out the last two 0's from x_amount (if present) when calculating the MD5 hash so that the computed md5 hash matches the x_MD5_Hash passed.
After having spent the better part of today figuring out what the problem was, fixing it, and manually reconciling hundreds of transactions, I'm really hoping they don't change the x_MD5_Hash tomorrow to rely on the new price format (x.xxxx), as it'll break everything all over again, and pretty much scuttle any chances I have of getting any thing done tomorrow.
If you're wondering why your transactions aren't showing up in your billing system, this is why.
And if it isn't clear enough, this is absolutely unacceptable. Not only is an unannounced API change to a heavily-used billing system horrendous, but this specific change is severely impacting customers, and Authorize.net are completely missing to fix the issue or answer any support requests.

There's still time to ask Capt. Chelly Pfeifer of KCPD a question about personal safety. Either email me at email@example.com or write a question in the thread below. The captain's responses will be posted here.
Thanks again to the captain for taking time to help us this week! Also, The Star has assembled several videos and articles about personal safety, which can be seen here.
UPDATED: Suzanne asks: I was just wondering if there are going to be any safety classes available any time coming up in the KCK area ... I would like to bring my 17-year-old daughter as well. Do you know where I can buy some mace at?
Capt. Pfeifer responds:
Hi, Suzanne-
We teach all the time, all over the region. If you have a group of ladies (at least 10) we can come to you, at a neighborhood clubhouse or the like. Or watch our website, www.kcpd.org, for future class dates, times and locations. The Ali Kemp Foundation also teaches classes, so check with them as well.
Swimming is a great exercise to build your strength, good luck with that. You don't need to be strong with our class techniques, as we teach those physically challenged as well. You use what you can with our classes, some of which includes preplanning and common-sense techniques.
Many places such as Cabela's sell mace/pepper spray, or law enforcement supply companies. I have a supplier as well who will offer my class members an opportunity to buy keychain pepper spray. Good luck.

The Ergonomics of Wheelchairs
Adjusting your chair for the right fit - and using it well - has a lot of effect on your health and comfort.
Ergonomics, technically, is about the relationship of the body to work. It has long been a priority in industrial settings like assembly plants where work injury from physical overuse is a great danger. Now that computers are causing a lot of physical discomfort, the term is more widely heard.
What does it have to do with wheelchair users? Well, ergonomics is really about using our bodies safely and efficiently, in a way which doesn't strain our tissues. A way which is comfortable. When we're working, cooking, driving, creating. Wheeling.
And it's about using the proper tools in optimal fashion. Your physical relationship to the tools you use – namely your wheelchair or mobility scooter – determines a lot about how you are going to use your body.
Think of yourself as having a lifetime quota of muscle capacity that you want to use carefully - to spend like it was precious currency. In the context of disability, when you drive a wheelchair – perhaps with limited upper body balance – the potential to overuse your muscles is considerable.
Ergonomics deals with four key criteria. Force. Repetition. Duration. Posture. Let's consider how they apply to wheeling.
Force. Excessive impact jolts our joints and causes our muscles to tense in response. Some wheelers snap their arms at the end of a push, which puts force on the shoulder joints. If you are able to do a wheelie over a curb, do you land with impact, or do you let yourself over the edge gently? Going over a significant bump at too great a speed in a power wheelchair or scooter can result in unnecessary impact.
Repetition is a pretty obvious one. How many pushes does it take you to travel a given distance? Take better advantage of coasting (which means keeping your tires inflated and your chair well maintained) and consider going a little slower (it takes more pushes to go faster).
Duration refers to continuous muscular effort. It doesn't have to be heavy lifting. Small exertions continuously held are as stressful to your tissues as brief, heavy effort. Leaning on armrests – often because of a poor relationship to your seat and back – putting continuous load on your shoulders is an example of doing "static" exertions. Poor posture is a duration overexertion. If you slump or lean forward, your trunk and neck and shoulder muscles have to do a lot of continuous work. But the real key here is movement. You will not be continually exerting muscles if you are active and changing your posture throughout the day.
Which brings us to posture. People often spend a lot of time leaning on armrests or a table exactly because they are not being supported with good posture in their chairs. This is a matter of seat angle and back angle, adjusting them according to your body shape and your degree of upper body balance. Poor seating makes you slump, trying to get stable. The optimal posture is more upright, allowing your spine to support you. It's a structural column – that's what it's intended to do.
Seat depth is involved here, too. If your seat is too short for your legs, then you are being robbed of the greater stability that comes with full contact between the seat and your legs.
Perhaps you have psychological resistance to good posture because your mother and teachers nagged you about it when you were young! Don't let that stop you from getting the right wheelchair, and ensuring it is adjusted properly so your spine is naturally aligned. It will reduce your risk of spinal curvature, spare your body from unnecessary muscular effort, and preserve your energy throughout the day.
Perhaps the most important relationship between your body and your wheelchair is the position of the wheels relative to your hands and arms. If you are sitting to high above the wheels, with your arms nearly straight, you won't be able to take advantage of your arms as you push. This will force you to do it mostly from the shoulders – a situation that is all but guaranteed to cause injury. If you are sitting too low relative to the wheels, your arms will be forced up too high as you grab the rim to start the push, which prevents your arms from moving in a natural range of motion and makes pushing more difficult. In general, it should be possible to grasp the wheel at the "ten-o'clock" position and apply force through the push all the way to two-o'clock.
Basically, ergonomics is about comfort. Choose, adjust, and use your wheelchair with that in mind, and you'll reap the benefits of optimal health and activity.

|I've been reading alot about Logan and the 1860 Democratic Convention and that gave me reason to look at some other things and writings from it. From the start Southern Democrats seemed to be purposefully sabotaging any solidarity w/ Northern Democrats. There was to be no comprimise from the start. I do believe there was a conspiracy w/ both unknowing and knowing assistance of quite a few 1860 Southern Democrats and I do believe Davis was well and truly in the thick of it. Was he the originator? I don't believe so, but looking at 140 year old political machinations and trying to figure it all is not my cup of java.
Now I apologize to all if I hijacked my thread... wanted to make sure all knew where I was coming from.
Javal, I do apologize for bringing modern politics into the thread and board. I hate it when others do it and here I did it. Bad Shane, no Scotch... ok maybe no donut; gotta have my Black Label.

'inariyama special education school' by japanese practice atsushi kitagawara architects (AKA)
is a 15, 000 m2 educational facility composed of multiple building units in chikuma, nagano, japan.
conceived as a 'town'-like architecture, the design combines outdoor courtyards, open spaces,
and small vegetable fields in its composition to stimulate activities for both the children and
the local community.

utilizing traditional japanese wood construction technique, the school is almost entirely made of
lumber from the nagano prefecture. the general form and roof shape of the buildings feature large
intersecting pitches that can be clearly read from the outside. abstract, branch-like structures clad in
a shade of yellow highlight the construction of the school while lending the buildings a distinct
visual identity within the area.

utilizing neither metallic materials or glued-laminated timber, the structural components of
the school makes transparent its wooden construction by having it the focal point of the interior space.
interweaving lumber units provide a rhythmic effect to the ceiling with the majority of the finished
surfaces also being done in larch. the choice of local materials coupled with the construction technique
kept both the energy consumption and CO2 exhaust during the manufacturing process to a minimum.

What a Beautiful school.
Excellent roof trusses.
From design concept, through construction and the finished product – a deep integrity shown throughout. Big thumbs up. One wonders whether the building ethics will rub off on the pupils d;-)

The Airbus A350 takes off successfully Friday on its maiden flight at Blagnac airport near Toulouse, southwestern France.
The race to become the workhorse of long-haul flights is on, with Airbus successfully test-flying its A350 to compete with Boeing in the market for wide-body planes.
Airbus is a few years behind Boeing's 787 Dreamliner with its version of a fuel-efficient plane made of carbon composite that offers passengers larger windows and overhead storage. Both companies will be promoting their planes this week at the Paris Air Show. Boeing will have two Dreamliners on hand, one to fly and one that will be open for tours.

Driving around with a bad muffler is not only bad for the environment; it's also irritating on the ears. If you keep on getting nasty looks from your neighbors or see cops tailing you on the highway, perhaps it's about time that you change your old, rusty muffler. We took the Replacement muffler for a test on our Hyundai Accent, and here's what we discovered.
- OE replacement
- Made from aluminized steel
- Comes in a natural finish
- Oval case shape
- Stock sound level
- Clamp-on type
- One-piece design
- With single, center inlet
- Measures 80 inches L by 10 inches W by 15 inches H
- Sold individually
- With one-year unlimited-mileage warranty
What we liked
- This muffler is a direct fit; it bolts right in easily. We didn't have to do any modification on our vehicle during installation. That's a good thing since tinkering on other automotive parts increases the risk of creating more damage. Mounting was finished in less than 30 minutes--much faster than we had expected.
- Similar to the stock one we had, this muffler emits a low, mellow tone at idle. It gradually progresses to a smooth, deep sound, but not like the rasping growl usually characterized by middling mufflers. We drove our Hyundai Accent around town without attracting too much attention from residents or cops.
- Dealership price can set you back a good $400. This muffler has a list price of just a little over a hundred dollars. We got it on a sweet sale price of less than $100.
- For an aluminized steel muffler, this one is surprisingly well built. Its one-piece design eliminates the need for bending, cutting, and welding.
What we didn't like
- It's slightly heavier than our stock muffler, but the weight doesn't necessarily affect its performance.
- It's made from aluminized steel, not stainless. We're a bit adamant to say how long this muffler would last, given that it's not made from stainless steel.
Our final say
With the exception of its heavier weight and less sturdy material, the Replacement muffler is an excellent OE alternative to stock pipes. This muffler gives a soft, non-intruding sound perfect for daily driving applications. With a price that's much lower than the dealership's, this muffler is highly recommended for those who want an economical but high-quality muffler replacement.

Former Samoa College students in New Zealand are invited to a meeting this Saturday to elect new officers for S.C.O.P.A NZ.
The outgoing S.C.O.P.A New Zealand Executive has called for elections after seven years in office.
The special meeting will be held at Martin Hautus Institute's Mangere campus. In other S.C.O.P.A news, Captain George Clarke hosted some of the senior S.C.O.P.A NZ members at his home last Saturday and to remember Samoa College old boy, the late Tainau Moefa'auo Vui Taputoa Titimaea.
He was laid to rest at his Siusega home in Samoa on Saturday.
Tainau who was Samoa College 1978 Dux passed away while serving as the Managing Director of the Samoa Water Authority.
Tagaloa Fouina Su'a, Rugby League Samoa (RLS) President and former Marist Old Boys (Samoa) Sports Club President who was in Auckland for the NRL Nines, was accorded the honours to make a toast in memory of fallen SCOPA member, the late Tainau.

I took the programmers exam 3/20 and didn't pass, I feel that I need to write some code to better learn the objectives before attempting to take the exam again. Does the code written on the cattle drive cover the programmers exam objectives?? Would you recommend that I sign up for the cattle drive??

If you haven't looked over the Cattle Drive site, go
to check out what all is involved, and what topics are covered in the assignments.
Cattle Drive is about writing code that is readable and efficient, so it isn't geared directly for the
exam. However, after doing the Drive for several months, I passed the exam in Jan. with flying colors, so I would say it definitely prepares you for it better than just reading and trying to write code on your own. Matt Phillips is also a Driver, and he passed the exam. Yes, you still have to do a lot of experimenting and learning on your own, but at least this way you get someone looking over your stuff personally and telling you what works, what doesn't, how to improve, etc.
So after all that, I would say yes, the Drive helps a lot in learning to program with
, which is what the SCJP exam is all about.

Jason said it all. While the Cattle Drive does not directly relate to the exam objectives it directly relates to the spirit of the exam.
The most important skill to have as a Java Programmer is being able to program in Java. That is what the Cattle Drive is about. It didn't have a direct effect on me passing the exam, but I don't know that I could have without it.

Actually, we have several people on the Drive that are SCJP's, I'm sure they'd all gladly share their thoughts on this once they see it.
Bottom line, the only way the exam is worth something is if you actually write code. A good way to continually write code to learn is to get with a program that motivates you, and that's what the Drive does (at least in my opinion, but I'm biased

I got the SCJP certification about the same time I started with the drive. While the Cattle Drive will not give you all the skills necessary to pass the
, it will give you practice and experience looking through the API. This experience can only help you as you try to pass the test. It's up to you whether it's worth $200.

Unless you are working as a Java programmer, JavaRanch is your best bet for coding experience. The questions are cumulative, and you WILL NOT progress unless you have mastered the topic.
You will understand the true meaning of "nitpick"

Unless you work in a
structured environment you may not have been through the pleasure of peer code reviews. This is like saying "here is my best work, please show me all the things I thought were good that
I found the Cattle Drive complemented my study for the SCJP. It was a lot more interesting to write code that someone would look at and provide feedback.

I am toying with the idea of eventually going for certification, and I have some software that is supposed to help you prepare for the exam. The material is confusing, difficult to understand, and is presented in a way that I find hard to read. I have failed all of my practice exams. If this were my only experience with Java programming I would have given up by now.
The Cattle Drive, on the other hand, has been an uplifting experience. I started with a beginner's book on Java and NO experience in any programming language. When my first program ran, I was stoked. I just knew that my code was excellent! Perfect! Then I got my nitpick. Oh no! What are dereferences? What does concatenation mean? Is there any room for optimization? How the heck should I know? So I went to work. After several more submissions, my code was deemed acceptable and I got to move on to the next assignment. The guidance I received while DOING as I was LEARNING has given me confidence that I can pass that exam eventually. My code runs. I'm doing stuff that seems pretty advanced, and I'm not afraid of this stuff anymore, well, not as afraid as I was. Do the Cattle Drive. You won't regret it!
I agree. Here's the link:

PBA Tour star Wes Malott and Deb Cavanaugh celebrate with Nathan Weimer, 6, after Weimer had a strike. Photo by Sam Castro/The Sheboygan Press
- Filed Under
Let's clear up a few things about newly crowned PBA Tour Player of the Year Wes "Big Nasty" Malott.
Yes, he's "Big" - about 6-feet, 4 inches tall.
The "Nasty" part of the nickname, though, just doesn't fit. There's no way possible. At least not once Malott steps off the lanes. As Sheboygan Bowling Association Hall of Fame master of ceremonies Gary Gasper said Friday night, Malott is a teddy bear.
Randy Pederson, ESPN's bowling analyst on the weekly broadcasts, gave Malott the nickname because of the young star's powerful style.
It's the only aspect of life where Malott could be thought of as nasty.
"That's not me as a person, but it's kind of stuck now, so we've got to have fun with it," Malott said Friday at the Hall of Fame dinner (he also appeared Saturday morning at the youth tournament that's held annually in conjunction with the Hall of Fame weekend). "It's kind of cool to go to a bowling center and hear people yelling it out. The more we talk about what the nickname means, and people understand it, it's fine."
These days, it's pretty cool being Wes Malott. The 32-year-old Texan is a month removed from winning his first Player of the Year award, secured only after the final ball of season thrown by his primary challenger, Chris Barnes.
Last Wednesday, Malott threw a perfect game against the legendary Walter Ray Williams Jr. in the PBA's King of Bowling competition, which is Wednesdays on ESPN2 at 8 p.m. The 140 people at Klemme's Wagon Wheel got a tantalizing tease about this week's show (the segments are shown on tape delay), but you'll have to watch and see what he's talking about.
And earlier this season, Malott and Mike Wilbon, the sports columnist from the popular ESPN show "Pardon the Interruption," got into a publicized give-and-take that resulted in Wilbon taking on Malott in a match.
It all started when Wilbon criticized Malott for not entering a plastic ball only tournament because he couldn't use a ball that benefits from current technology.
Malott challenged Wilbon to a match, pledging to use a plastic ball, and even gave Wilbon 57 pins of handicap. Wilbon rolled a 199 and won the match, 256-248. Even then, "Big Nasty" lived up to his softer, gentler reputation.
"We really had a good time, and that was the intention of it," Malott said. "There was no intention by him or me to do any harm. That's what their show's about. He was hoping I didn't take it the wrong way, and it created a lot of publicity."
There is one more thing you need to know about Wes Malott: Success hasn't spoiled him, and probably never will.
He's the same soft-spoken Texan who was self-taught as a teen-ager, and the same humble guy who fondly remembers Barnes' kind words after Malott beat Barnes in a PBA regional before Malott broke through on Tour.
It's also why Malott came to Sheboygan this weekend: to help honor the local legends, and help the younger stars one day perhaps reach Malott's lofty status.
"Look what the sport's given me so far," Malott said. "And I'm only in my sixth year. If I look at it that way, I want it to be there for other people. Hopefully other people can benefit from it too."

OK! You've finally gotten customers to your Web site after a large investment in time and effort, not to mention money. What? They're not staying long enough to buy anything or to fill out those profile forms that you stayed up until 3 a.m. to create? Why not? The site navigation is good, you have a secure order form, the site loads quickly without too many annoying graphics, and you even have a return and privacy policy! What's going on here?
Make Your Site Stand Out
Those of us who are trying to do business on the Internet are constantly bombarded with information, statistics, and marketing advice: Go to your target market. Claim your niche with your "unique selling position." Promote your brand. Develop a Web "community." Publish an e-zine. Provide worthwhile content. It's all good advice.
But these marketing gurus leave out an important and indisputable fact. People want to be entertained! And they don't want to have to work to enjoy their Web experience. The success of television, a completely passive medium, attests to that. What should be done, then? How do you keep your audience long enough so that you can tell your story and promote your product? In short, how do you make your site "sticky"?
Streaming media technology provides a vital answer. It has a 70% click-through rate for content, a 60% click-through rate for advertiser information, and a 49% "buy" rate for online merchandise. Those statistics, provided by Carton Donofrio Interactive, are proof of the success of streaming media when they are used in a creative and content-rich environment.
What does "streaming" mean? Streaming promises quick access to crucial audio and video content without the aggravating wait for files to download. Downloading requires that files be sent to the user's PC in their entirety before they can be played; MP3 audio is a perfect example of this. The files then remain on the user's machine until they are deleted. On the other hand, streaming continuously sends these same files, which have already been digitized, to the user's PC while the user is listening or watching. When the stream is ended, no files are left behind on the user's machine.
How can we use this exciting technology to create "stickiness"? The possibilities are endless:
- Coaches and motivational speakers can use it for instruction and team building.
- Lawyers, accountants, and other professionals can enhance their sites with timely client messages.
- Manufacturers can use it to demonstrate the intricate product features of machines and "widgets."
- Resorts can showcase their most desirable features.
- Realtors can market multiple properties efficiently and at reasonable cost.
- Clothing retailers can have fashion "events" and show off new items and services.
- Furniture and antique dealers can highlight unique product details.
- Human resource professionals can use it to enhance corporate sales sites for remote sales forces and clients.
- Nonprofit organizations can use it to explain their missions.
- Charities can use it for soliciting donations.
Make Your Streaming Effective
The quality of your streaming presentation will only be as good as the quality of the source material from which it was originally created. This is extremely important! (You can't expect a videotape with bad color and contrast to look better in a stream than it did when you played it on your VHS machine at home.) The company that you select to do the encoding and compression of your media should be able to provide you with good guidelines for your original production.
For example, we always tell our clients that too much movement on a videotape will cause blurring and "smeariness" when the video is streamed. (As bandwidth continues to improve, many restrictions that exist today will disappear.) Your streaming vendor is the best source of information regarding tape formats and the equipment required to create the original production.
Streaming media are already being used effectively by a number of industries and organizations that are striving to stand out in the crowded Internet business world. Streaming media still have its limitations, especially in the area of delivering full-screen, high-quality video. But most of the big players on the Internet, even those in head-to-head competition for the fast-growing streaming audience, know that as bandwidth continues to improve, streaming media will inevitably become more prevalent as site visitors begin to expect it.
Streaming media advertising substantially increases brand recall, brand awareness, and positive brand perception. This really gives you the opportunity to deliver a powerful message about your products or services. Streaming is affordable, exciting, and inviting. It creates the stickiness that keeps your Web visitors on your site and gives them that extra incentive to click on the "order now" icon.

From September, schools will be teaching basic coding for five-year-olds, while secondary school students will be required to study several programming languages, under a new national curriculum that Education Secretary Michael Gove first outlined two years ago.
To help smooth the way for the new focus on "computing" skills, £4m was given to bodies such as the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, to recruit 400 "master teachers" to educate the educators. So how ready are schools to deliver the new curriculum?.
Mike Philipson is subject leader for IT at Sale Grammar School in Manchester, where this author was educated, and where Philipson occupied the role back in the 90s, too.
In those days, a handful of Acorn Archimedes systems was just giving way to a new computer lab filled with middling Pentiums and a BT broadband connection. Occasional English lessons where poetry was typed up on Wordpad and decorated with clipart took place here, and ancient art packages were used to print t-shirts.
Today, Philipson commands a large, fully-connected school-wide IT network for the 1,200-pupil secondary school, which he describes as "second-to-none". The local authority, and those who call up for IT consultation "know we know what we're doing here", says Philipson.
Sale Grammar achieved Trust School status in 2010, and Academy Trust status in 2011. Its links with national and international organisations mean it doesn't have to follow the national curriculum directly, but this hasn't stopped Philipson's determination to match its new demands.
In preparation for September 2014, Sale Grammar teaches 11-12 year-olds HTML coding, as well as MIT's Scratch environment. Animation, graphic design work and even some game-making are all taught in Key Stage 3, before the age of 15. Thirteen year-olds also study the European Computer Driving License (ECDL) as standard, "so they end up with a qualification before the summer time", says Philipson.
Fourteen and 15 year-old pupils in Year 10 are also offered a school "enrichment course" - an eight to 10-unit sequence of extra classes of their choice. One option is "programming", in which Philipson introduces pupils to action scripting, algorithms, bubble sorts, the Tower of Hanoi and other basic programming techniques.
The module has proved popular, and Philipson has been using these classes to gauge how to approach September 2014's curricular demands for all age groups.
"It's allowed me to practice some of the things Gove is putting into the new programme of study," Philipson tells Computing.
"So I'm looking at these, and how successful or not they've been, and am going to be creating some schemes of work to introduce to year sevens [11 year-olds] and eights [12 year-olds] from next year.

Suffering with my addiction
by, 09-24-2009 at 11:24 AM (17812 Views)
I suffer from an addiction to auctions. I don't care if it's live or online, I just can't keep myself from bidding.
Last night I went to an auction w/the intention of buying some parts for some vintage campers I have (another addiction), and while I bought a lot of item I really need (underground water line/snow fence/wheel bearings/ladders) I also bought a pick-up truck.
It's only got 58K miles on it, no rust, and it runs fine, and I only paid $1,000 for it, but I don't need it. I bought it to resell, figuring I could flip it easy enough, but I really don't need to be in the car/truck resale business.
Two weeks ago, I was on a cell phone call w/a rep friend of mine. I pulled off to the side of the road because I was going to be going out of range. As I talked to her, I had my window down, and could hear noise coming from the back of the blg . I was parked in front of. I hung up, walked to the back of the blg., and sure enough, it was an auction!
They were auctioning off a brand new nautilus type weight machine, with 9 stations, and couldn't get a bid. I bid $25, and guess what...Yeah, we now have a home gym. To be fair (to me) my wife and son have been asking me for one, and they are very pleased with the purchase, so I guess it's not all bad.
The problem is (as other Optiboarders that have seen can attest) I've got too much "valuable";)stuff sitting in my warehouse. I think there's only one solution:
I need to have an auction!!

hi i have this same issue. i bough Arma 2 combined operations on steam yesterday (took like 9 hours to download) and had myy first go of Day Z. i did alright for my first go having to go to bed before actually dying, but when i tried to save the save option is faded out, as not an option. im totally new to this game so it would be great if anyone knows what to do.

I have the same problem, save and respawn are 'greyed' out so the 4 servers I have tried all lost my games...any answers or am I going to have to post a new post.....? I cannot play if I cannot save the annoying game....??
Posted 25 October 2012 - 05:19 AM
You don't need to actually perform a save, just abort the mission and disconnect. Your character is being saved while you play. As long as you are playing on official hive servers, then everytime you log back in you will be where you left off with the gear and blood etc that you left with. If you are playing on private hive servers, then you would have to restart your character every time you join a new one. I use DayZ Commander, and there is a filter option to include or not private hive search results.

Thank you so much Klesh, what I done was play a few hours, the server restarted, I did not log off back to the spawn screen, so I lost all my Beans. So that is why the ''Save'' and ''Respawn'' are ''greyed'' out in the menu then. I am using''SIX'' but I'll swap to commander now chap......Thanks again Klesh...here's my Beans......mmmmmmmm....Beans on toast.

Posted 25 October 2012 - 05:55 AM
It auto saves every minute or so, if you are playing on private servers/hives you will need to join the same ones as your character is only on that server usually, if you are playing on public hive servers then your character will persist across all other public hive servers too.

Thank you Smasht.....I did know that, but it's great information because it is not often apparent that you will need a ''New'' character , when you play another server. I have defected from Battlefield where it was all shiny and easy to load games. This game reminds me more of Stalker, more dirty and gritty.....often with the odd bug or two....l.o.l.

Remember this is just a mod for ARMA II so glitches exist. Don't get mad at the game, remember what it is. The Standalone will be out soon (please) and will be much easier to play.

The Nifty records fresh 52 week high of 4842.2 on Tuesday, 8th September, 2009. The Nifty hits 4800 for the first time since May 30, 2008. In today's Datawatch we look at the BSE 500 stocks with beta greater than 1.
The Nifty recorded a fresh 52-week high of 4842.2 on Tuesday, 8th September, 2009. Following that, today, the Nifty hit 4800 for the first time since May 30, 2008. In today's Datawatch we look at the BSE 500 stocks with beta greater than 1.
What is Beta?
Beta is key parameter in the capital asset pricing model. The model calculates the expected return of a stock based on its beta and expected returns from the market.
A beta of 1 indicates that the stock price will move in line with the market or index. A beta of less than 1 indicates that the stock price will be less volatile than the index. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the stock price will be more volatile than the market.
IVRCL Infra has a beta of 1.7 which means if the Sensex moved up 100%, this stock moved up 170%. Only 112 companies out of BSE 500 have beta greater than 1. The analysis further suggests there are as many as 18 real estate and infrastructure companies in the list.

The Spring ISD Board of Trustees designated Marshall ISD Superintendent Ralph H. Draper as the sole finalist for the vacant Spring ISD Superintendent position on July 28.
Mr. Draper, 46 years of age, has served as Superintendent of the 5,800-student school district in East Texas since 2002. Prior to becoming Superintendent, Mr. Draper served as Marshall's Assistant Superintendent of Personnel for five years. He also served as an elementary school principal in Marshall for two years.
"We are very excited about the vision that Ralph Draper has for public education," said Spring ISD School Board President Mel Smith. "His passion for children, his leadership style, and his commitment to working with the Board of Trustees, the staff, and the community to enhance the achievement of all of our students was very evident as we reviewed his application materials and as we interviewed him on two separate occasions."
Mr. Draper describes himself as a "very focused and student-centered school leader". "Much of my passion is derived from the positive and life-changing impact education has had on my life and the lives of my children and, hopefully, subsequent generations," he said. "I am firmly dedicated to the mission of providing students with the opportunity to maximize their fullest potential."
Mr. Draper's leadership style has focused on empowering the building principal and district program directors, and in developing leadership at every level of the organization. He has also focused on decentralization, with a strong emphasis on parental and community involvement.
"My tenure as Superintendent of Marshall ISD has been during the transition of the state's introduction of its most rigorous assessment and accountability system," he said. "This time of challenge and change provided me an opportunity to implement bold, new visionary leadership that resulted in immediate and impressive results. It is the first time in the district's history that we have started under a new state assessment ahead of the state-average percentage passing rates."
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Draper began his public education career in Texas in Longview ISD in 1988, teaching elementary school for three years and middle school for two. He became a middle school assistant principal in Longview in 1993 before moving to Marshall ISD as an elementary school principal in 1995. Mr. Draper served as a full- time pulpit minister for congregations in St. Louis, MO, Nashville, TN, and Cambridge, MD from 1981 to 1988.
Mr. Draper has been a keynote speaker and lecturer at conferences, revivals, workshops, motivational seminars and youth events in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and West Africa. He served two years as a co-host for the "Christ Is Your Answer" television program.
Mr. Draper earned his Bachelor of Arts in Religious Education from David Lipscomb University in Tennessee in 1981. He earned a Master of Education from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1995 and is scheduled to earn his Doctor of Education from that university in December 2005.
Mr. Draper and his wife, Charlene, have three daughters – Genesis, 24, who is a third-year student at the University of Texas Law School; Joy, 22, who is a junior at Middle Tennessee State University; and Charity, 19, who is a junior at Fisk University in Tennessee.
The Superintendent position for the 28,000-student Spring ISD became vacant in May when Dr. Michael Hinojosa resigned to become Superintendent of Dallas ISD. A superintendent search, conducted by Jerry Smith of CommunicAid, resulted in 33 candidates from throughout Texas and across the nation seeking the Spring ISD position.
In accordance with state law, the Spring ISD Board cannot formally name Mr. Draper as Superintendent for 21 days after designating him as the finalist. That action is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 18, two days after Spring ISD students begin the 2005-2006 school year and one day after Marshall ISD students return to class.
Roz Keck will continue to serve as Interim Superintendent for Spring ISD until Mr. Draper is under contract and begins working full time in the District.

The indictment of Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) outlines gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars he allegedly received from Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye doctor. Until he came under scrutiny in 2013, Mr. Menendez didn't list any of the gifts on Senate financial disclosure forms. Prosecutors will have to prove the gifts were part of a quid pro quo—not, as Mr. Menendez has said, hospitality exchanged between friends. Here are details of key events outlined in the indictment.

I have been hearing about these new prototype golf balls from titleist and would really want to test them out. I just became a member of Team Titleist and was wondering how people were getting them? When I registered for Team Titleist it never asked for my address so I was wondering if you have to be important to get these prototype golf balls. So if Titleist could respond back to me or someone from Team Titleist tell me how to register to get these prototype golf balls so I can test these golf balls and give feedback to Titleist about this golf ball. Merry Christmas!
Ryan F
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for joining Team Titleist! We're happy to have you on board.
As for participating in the test panels, all Team Titleist members are considered when we have opportunities like this but the final selection will vary depending on the test panel.
We make every effort to include as many Team Titleist members as possible in these opportunities, but as you can imagine, we unfortunately are not able to include everyone in every test panel.
Also, the more you participate and the more engaged you are with Team Titleist, from posting in the discussions and adding blog comments to completing your profile, the better your chances are at potentially opening the doors to these Team Titleist opportunities.
Thanks again and have a great day.

Vibrational—Rotational Angular‐Momentum Coupling in Spherical‐Top Molecules. II. General Zeta Sums43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696747View Description Hide Description
General Coriolis zeta sums are derived for all molecules belonging to tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral point groups. For all infrared‐active species, the zeta sum is given by , where m 0=1 or 0 depending on whether or not a central atom is present; m is the number of sets of equivalent nuclei on threefold or higher symmetry axes, but not on all symmetry elements; δ r =1 or 0 depending on whether or not the rigid rotations belong to the infrared‐active representation; and δ g =1 for Point Group T h and zero for all other point groups. Several related matters are considered, including the definition of the signs of individual zetas. The application of these zeta sums to the analysis of vibrational spectra is treated briefly, especially with regard to the contours of unresolved bands.
Vibrational Relaxation of HI, 1400°—2300°K43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696748View Description Hide Description
The vibrational relaxation of HI in a mixture of 10% HI in Ar has been studied by following the populations of the four lowest vibrational states as they approach their equilibrium values after the abrupt heating produced by a shock wave. The states v=1, 2, and 3 all relax approximately exponentially with the same rate constant, k v ≅1.0×10−13 cc molecule−1·sec−1 at 2000°K. As the temperature increases from 1400° to 2300°K, k 1 approximately triples. This temperature dependence is very much smaller (a factor of ∼10−2) and the rate is very much faster (a factor of 102 to 103 at 2000°K if the relaxation is due to HI—Ar collisions) than the values predicted on the basis of the Schwartz—Slawsky—Herzfeld theory or the empirical correlation of Millikan and White.
Vibration—Rotation Spectra and Structures of Germyl Halides43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696749View Description Hide Description
The rotational constantsA″ and ζ values have been determined by the analysis of the rotational structure of the perpendicular bands of GeH3F, GeH3Cl, GeH3Br, and GeH3I. By combining the microwave and the infrared data, the structural parameters of some of the germyl halide molecules have been refined. A strong rotational perturbation was observed in the GeH3 deformation fundamental v 5 of GeH3Br which has been interpreted as a second‐order Coriolis interaction between two fundamental vibrations (v 2 and v 5) of different symmetry.
EPR Study of the Biphotonic Nature of the Solute‐Sensitized Photodecomposition of Polydimethylsiloxane43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696750View Description Hide Description
The photolysis of solutions of naphthalene in polymeric dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been examined by EPR(electron paramagnetic resonance)spectroscopy at 77°K. It was found that the naphthalene solute sensitizes the decomposition of the solvent by a stepwise two‐photon absorption process involving the first triplet state of naphthalene as an intermediate. The absorption of the second photon within the naphthalene triplet manifold of states is followed by an energy transfer process to the polymer which then decomposes. Decomposition occurs via Si–C and C–H bond rupture. The stabilities of the resultant radicals, ≡Si·, CH3·, —CH2·, and H·, which are identified by means of their EPR spectra (except for H· which is not observed at 77°K) are also discussed. The latter species presumably reacts immediately, possibly by a hotatom reaction, with a polymer molecule to form H2 and —CH2·. It is shown that the CH3· radical is also unstable at 77°K and decays by a hydrogen abstraction reaction to form CH4 and the —CH2· radical with a half‐life of approximately 80 min.
Thermal Decomposition of 2,3‐Dimethylbutane in a Single‐Pulse Shock Tube43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696751View Description Hide Description
2,3‐Dimethylbutane has been pyrolyzed in a single‐pulse shock tube. The initial steps appear to involve the breaking of carbon—carbon bonds. At about 1100°K the decomposition mechanism is as follows:[Complex chemical formula]The Arrhenius parameters for the bond‐breaking steps are
13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. VI. Azines and Methyl Azines43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696752View Description Hide Description
The 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the six known unsubstituted azines, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, s‐triazine, and s‐tetrazine have been obtained, as well as those of some of their methyl derivatives. The carbon shieldings have been compared with those calculated theoretically, and estimates of the effects of π and σ electron densities and of bond orders are attempted. Reasonably good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained if the σ bonds between carbon and nitrogen are assumed to be very slightly polar.
Probability Tables for Clusters of Foreign Atoms in Simple Lattices Assuming Next‐Nearest‐Neighbor Interactions43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696753View Description Hide Description
Concentration dependent probabilities for clusters of impurities of one kind in simple cubic, body‐centered cubic, face‐centered cubic, and hexagonal close‐packed lattice structures are given. Polynomials which give the probabilities of singles, pairs, and different configurations of triads are tabulated for concentration values ranging from 10.0% to 0.01%. The existence of the next‐nearest‐neighbor and nearest‐neighbor interactions between impurities randomly distributed throughout the lattice is assumed. Results obtained by considering only nearest‐neighbor interactions are graphically compared with those of the present paper, and a significant reduction in the probability of singles, pairs, and triads is claimed in the present work. The inclusion of next‐nearest‐neighbor interactions produces a change in the number of single, pair, or triad clusters similar to that caused by increasing the concentration. Among other conclusions, it is noted that, for impurity concentrations below 3%, changes in the cluster probabilities are influenced by the consideration of interactions with more distant neighbors, while for higher concentrations it is wise to consider, in addition, clusters of four or more.
Bounds on the Configurational Integral for Hard Parallel Squares and Cubes43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696754View Description Hide Description
Upper and lower bounds on the configurational integral for hard parallel squares and cubes are obtained. These bounds are valid over the entire density range and apply to infinite (thermodynamic) systems. Both the upper bound and the lower bound approach the free‐volume form at high density.
This strong result proves rigorously that the free‐volume form is correct for these systems in the thermodynamic limit.
Calculation of Virial Coefficients. Squares and Cubes with Attractive Forces43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696755View Description Hide Description
A general combinatorial formulation of the star integrals occurring in calculations of virial coefficients is presented. The usefulness of the formulation is demonstrated by the exact calculation of the first five virial coefficients for gases of hard parallel squares and cubes with attractive forces.
For these gases the three‐, four‐, and five‐term virial series are examined, and each series is found to have a critical point. Most of the critical properties of these truncated virial series are sensitive to the number of terms included, but the product PcVc remains nearly constant as more terms are added.
It is shown that any two‐ or three‐dimensional square‐well virial coefficient is negative at low temperature. Despite this, the low‐temperature contribution of the complete star integral can be either positive or negative.
Spin Delocalization in Mixed Tetrahedral Ni II Complexes43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696756View Description Hide Description
Protonmagnetic resonance spectra of a number of paramagneticNi II chelates of the type NiL1L2 where L1 and L2 are different aminotroponeimine ligands have been examined. The proton resonances show large hyperfine contact interaction shifts due to delocalization of spin density from the metal to the ligand by dπ—pπ bonding. In the series of mixed chelates the amount of spin density delocalized to the different ligands varies markedly. Comparison with the spectra of the symmetric chelates shows that one ligand of each of the mixed chelates gains in spin density at the expense of the other ligand. The effect has been found to depend on the electron withdrawing or donating properties of the ligand substituents. The results for a number of ligands containing substituted phenyl groups have been correlated with the Hammett σ parameters. Two possible interpretations of these results are discussed, one proposed by Lin and Orgel and the other suggested by Jaffe's ideas of competitive π bonding in tetrahedral complexes. The latter is preferred for the Ni II aminotroponeimineates.
Gaussian‐Transform Method for Molecular Integrals. I. Formulation for Energy Integrals43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696757View Description Hide Description
The Gaussian‐transform method for the evaluation of multicenter nuclear‐attraction and electron‐repulsion integrals over one‐electron exponential orbitals is described. The basic formulas for 1s orbitals are developed, and machine methods for their extension to higher orbitals are outlined. Computational techniques for the implementation of the Gaussian‐transform method are given with emphasis on the requirements for accuracy and speed in the calculations. Possible improvements and extensions of the method are discussed.
Gaussian‐Transform Method for Molecular Integrals. II. Evaluation of Molecular Properties43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696758View Description Hide Description
The Gaussian‐transform approach to the evaluation of multicenter molecular integrals is developed for one‐ and two‐electron coordinate operators averaged over a wavefunction which is constructed from one‐electron orbitals composed of exponential basis sets. The general method is outlined and applied to a number of electric‐ and magnetic‐interaction operators. Formulas for these operators are given not only for exponential orbitals but also for Gaussian orbitals, which enter at an intermediate stage in the treatment of the exponential case. The complete analysis, supported by numerical data gathered from test programs, serves to demonstrate that the Gaussian‐transform method represents a possible approach to the determination of polyatomic wavefunctions and their properties.
Thermodynamics of the Rigid Rotor at High Temperature43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696759View Description Hide Description
It is shown that Qe , the partition function for a rigid rotor summed over even levels and Qo , summed over odd levels, have exactly the same asymptotic (power series in σ=ℏ 2/2IkT) expansion. No information as to differences in thermodynamic properties due to spin and statistics can be obtained from this expansion. The exchange partition function, Qe—Qo , is calculated directly and used to give simple expressions for the differences in thermodynamic properties between the para, ortho, and equilibrium cases.
Heteronuclear Spin—Lattice Relaxation in Some Crystalline Aromatic Compounds43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696760View Description Hide Description
Nuclear spin—lattice relaxation has been studied in some crystalline aromatic compounds, the toluene derivative C6H5CF3, and the xylene derivates m‐ and p‐CF3C6H4CF3, over the temperature interval between −185°C and the respective melting points. The decay of both the 1H and 19F nuclear polarization was investigated by pulse techniques. The relaxation data were supplemented by measurements of the proton and fluorine NMR second moments. Between −160°C and the melting point, the 1H second moment of each compound indicated that the protons were immobile. The 19F second moments indicated the effective reorientation of the CF3 group in all three compounds throughout the same temperature range. The relaxation of the 19F polarization was found to occur more rapidly than the corresponding 1H relaxation. Moreover, the relative rates of 1H and 19F relaxation also varied quite considerably with temperature. These results were analyzed by Solomon's treatment of heteronuclear relaxation. Semiquantitative agreement between theory and experiment was achieved for the C6H5CF3 relaxation data.
Isotope Effects on Vibrational Transition Probabilities. II. Electronic Transitions of Isotopic Nitrogen, Nitric Oxide, and Oxygen Molecules43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696761View Description Hide Description
Franck—Condon factors are given for the major electronic transitions of the normal and stable‐isotope‐labeled molecules N2, NO, and O2, for vibrational levels up to 10 of the v″=0 and v′=0 progressions and for the (1, 1) transition. Appreciable isotope effects on vibrational transition probabilities are found in the O2 Schumann—Runge and Herzberg bands, in the O2 + second negative bands, in the NO beta and ``M'' bands, and in the N2 Vegard—Kaplan bands. The magnitude of isotope effects on Franck—Condon factors is determined by differences in reduced masses between two isotopic molecules, as well as by differences in equilibrium internuclear distances between the two electronic states involved. The ratio of Franck—Condon factors of the light and heavy molecules decreases in the v″=0 and v′=0 progressions with increasing quantum number. The isotope effect on r centroids is very small.
Mass‐Spectrometric Study of Ions at Near‐Atmospheric Pressure. II. Ammonium Ions Produced by the Alpha Radiolysis of Ammonia and Their Solvation in the Gas Phase by Ammonia and Water Molecules43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696762View Description Hide Description
A new mass‐spectrometric method for the study of solvation of ions and of ion complexes is applied to the ammonium ion.
The major ion in the α‐particle radiolysis of NH3 is the clustered ammonium ion NH4 +·nNH3. A study of the distribution of these clusters is made at room temperature and in the pressure range 0.05 to 200 Torr ammonia. Clusters up to n=20 can be observed. The intensity distribution of the ions shows that the inner solvation shell contains four molecules. Approximate free‐energy changes for inner‐ and outer‐shell solvation are obtained.
Studies of competitive solvation of the NH4 + ion by water and ammonia molecules confirm the inner four shell. Ammonia is preferentially taken up in the inner shell and water in the outer shell. The higher stability of the ammoniated inner shell requires a very small effective NH4 + radius. This requirement leads to an examination of the structure of the NH4 +·4NH3 ion.
Calculation of Absolute Raman Intensities of A 1 Modes of Molecules and Ions from a Delta‐Function Potential Model43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696763View Description Hide Description
A delta‐function potential model of molecular binding is used to derive an expression for α∥b , the parallel component of the molecular polarizability from the region of a chemical bond, and , the derivative of the mean molecular polarizability with respect to a change in a bond length for the A 1 stretching modes of diatomic and polyatomic molecules and ions. The final expression is , in which g is the delta‐function strength; Z, the effective nuclear charge; σ, the Pauling covalent bond character; a 0, the Bohr radius; n, the number of electrons in the bond region; and r is the equilibrium internuclear distance. There is shown to be good agreement between calculated and experimental values of both α∥b and .
Electron Spin Resonance Spectrum of FCO43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696764View Description Hide Description
The electron spin resonance spectrum of the fluoroformyl radical (FCO) has been observed at 4.2°K in solid carbon monoxide. The radical was prepared by reaction between the CO matrix and fluorine atoms produced by in situ photolytic dissociation of fluorine oxide (OF2). The fluorine hyperfine splitting of FCO is very large and approximately axially symmetric: A 1/h=1437.5, A 2/h=708.2, and A 3/h=662.0 Mc/sec. The large hyperfine splitting results from spin polarization of an exceptionally weak CF bond, and is consistent with the theory for the proton hyperfine interaction in HCO. This implies that FCO, like HCO, is a sharply bent molecule in which the unpaired electron occupies an in‐plane or σ orbital, a conclusion which is in agreement with theoretical predictions.
On the Nature of Stimulated Emission in Rigid Organic Solutions43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696765View Description Hide Description
A dilute solution of an aromatic amine in a saturated hydrocarbon is frozen to a rigid state in liquid nitrogen and irradiated with ultraviolet light in the absorption band of the amine. The amine undergoes a one‐electron ionization to give its colored radical cation and an electron trapped in the matrix. Subsequent infrared illumination causes a burst of blue‐green luminescence called stimulated emission, which is investigated here. It is found to be a recombination luminescence composed of the fluorescence and phosphorescence bands of the amine, though the phosphorescence appears in much greater proportion than when the amine is excited by ultraviolet light. The kinetics of the two bands are analyzed and it is shown that the phosphorescing state and the fluorescing state are both populated directly by the recombination process, and through the same rate‐determining step. The recombination is also observed as a bleaching of the colored cation, which closely follows the kinetics of the stimulated fluorescence. It is shown that the system possesses electron traps of several different depths, ranging from shallow, thermally ionizable levels to depths of more than 3 eV.
Approach to Simple Exponential Decay in Vibrational Relaxation43(1965); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696766View Description Hide Description
When diatomic oscillators are dilutely dispersed in an inert heat bath, populations of the various vibrational levels in an initial nonequilibrium distribution relax toward thermal equilibrium with a time dependence that is a sum of terms like exp (λ mt), where λ0=0, all other λ m <0, and λ m+1<λ m . −1/λ1 ordinarily corresponds to the experimental relaxation time τ, since this term will dominate at long times. This work investigates cases in which the coefficient of the λ1 term, depending on the initial vibrational distribution and the heat‐bath temperature, may vanish or be so small that the final simple exponential decay corresponding to λ1 is never reached under experimental conditions.
For harmonic oscillators, if the initial distribution has its first n moments equal to the corresponding moments of the equilibrium distribution, then the first n coefficients in the sum of exponentials will be zero. Furthermore, there will be one or more values of the heat‐bath temperature, independent of the initial distribution, for which the normally dominant exponential decay will be missing in the expression for the time dependence of population in any particular level. Some of these results can be extended qualitatively to anharmonic oscillators and more general systems.
