Material Efficient Plane Hangar & Museum Takes Inspiration From a Wing's Profile
Start Slideshow
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsThe Hangar in Pokolbin, Australia serves as a gallery, public museum and operational facility for a collection of World War Two fighter aircraft. Located on the edge of a country airstrip, the accordion steel building features a striking design and cantilevered roof. Designed by Newport, Australia-based Peter Stutchbury Architects, the plane hangar's form was derived from the profile of a wing, which gains strength through efficient design. Constructed of steel, the roof is engineered to cantilever out 12 meters beyond the hangar and reduces overall material use to become an economical and environmentally responsible space.1
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsLocated an hour north of Sydney in the Hunter Valley wine country region, The Hangar is home to Air Action, an aviation museum with a collection of vintage fighter planes to admire and even take rides in.2
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsThe 2,000 sq meter facility is primarily and airplane hangar and museum, but also serves as event space for private functions.3
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsOriented so the bay doors open up to the north, the hangar takes advantage of passive solar design.4
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsUsing the cantilevered roof for shade projection, the sides feature curved windows to pull in daylight from the sides.5
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsThe ends of the building also feature administration 'pods' that serve as office space and viewing decks.6
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsThe glass pod to the west allows visitors to get a good view of airplanes taking off and landing on the adjacent air strip.7
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsThe building's profile is reminiscent of an airplane wing and is a highly efficient single skinned structure.8
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsConstructed from self-supporting Aramax deep corrugated steel sheeting, the roof curves from the ground around the back and up and over the top before cantilevering out over the flight deck.9
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsOnly four trusses are used to support the roof, which allows for the 12 meter awning and a 30 meter sliding door opening.10
- The Hangar-Peter Stutchbury ArchitectsThis engineered support system allows for a clear and uninterrupted interior space, but also minimizes material use. In fact, the structural system reduced net steel tonnage by 30% compared to other systems to get a similar effect.11

Fire Flies, a band that formed while all four members were students at Purchase College, won first place at the 2007 Emergenza International Music Festival in Rothenberg, Germany. Dan Romer, Wil Farr, Matt Krahula and Seth Faulk competed against 6,000 bands and Faulk won best drummer. The New York quartet was declared the best unsigned band on the planet by contest organizers. The band won the jury over with a performance that reeked of fun and passion. A truly enjoyable set with fantastic pop songs.
The group won a slot to appear at the RedGorilla Festival in Austin, Texas in March 2008 and a chance to record at the RoastingHouse Studios in Sweden with a full management contract with Track1Music.

Michael Bay has shot down rumors that his "Pain & Gain" leading man Mark Wahlberg would reunite with him on the upcoming fourth "Transformers" film.
Twitch reported the talk earlier today which adds to recent rumors over at Mandy.com that the project will have a late teen's female lead who has a 20-something Texan race car driver for a boyfriend.
Bay however nixed the talk, posting on his website: "The Mark Wahlberg T4 rumor is just a rumor. Mark and I are talking about another film project."

"There's no stopping someone that will stop at nothing", begins the trailer for Reach Me, a dramatic ensemble that features Sylvester Stallone in the rare role that doesn't require him to blow anything up or punch someone in the face. It's been nearly two decades since Stallone put on his drama hat in Cop Land, a film that was ripped at the time but has since been recognized as one of the actor's finer performances....at least compared to his latter Rocky, Rambo, and The Expendables efforts. And now Stallone is ready to show what he can do again but the trailer suggests the film may not be up to par.
Stallone is surrounded by a cast that immediately pegs this as something headed for Redbox with the quickness. Kelsey Grammer and Terry Crews (Sly's buds in The Expendables 3), Cary Elwes, Thomas Jane, Ryan Kwanten, Tom Sizemore, Tom Berenger, Kevin Connolly, The Walking Dead's Lauren Cohan, Agents of SHIELD's Elizabeth Henstridge, Kyra Sedgewick, ex-New York Giants fullback Jarrod Bunch, Nelly, and Danny Aiello star as a group of people who are all connected by a self help guru's book, but little do they know he's just a reclusive former football coach with his own problems to deal with.
John Herzfeld (15 Minutes) directed and wrote the script so if it looks like a poor man's Crash then he's the one to hold responsible. Reach Me will open on October 24th.
PLOT: A comedy/drama centered on a group of people who all have a connection to a self-help book authored by a reclusive former football coach.

And the press release reads as follows:
Brooklyn Bodega, producers of the 6th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (BHF), is excited to announce this year's headliner – De La Soul.
Since 1989, De La Soul (Pos, Dave and Mase) have been a cornerstone of Hip-Hop music and culture. From the groundbreaking album "3 Feet High and Rising" to "Grind Date" De La is simply one of the best to ever do it.
"To be honest, we have been trying to get De La Soul to headline the Festival since we first came up with the idea in 2005. On many levels they are the perfect flag bearers for our mission to use Hip-Hop as an agent of change. For over 20 years they have traveled the world inspiring MC's, producers, DJ's and fans alike. I can think of no better artist to usher the Festival into its new home in Brooklyn Bridge Park." – Wes Jackson, Executive Director, The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival
In past years, the Festival has featured headliners such as Brand Nubian (2005), Big Daddy Kane (2006), Ghostface Killah (2007), KRS-ONE (2008) and Pharoahe Monch (2009). This year, De La Soul will be the anchor of the six-day-long Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival, performing on Saturday, July 10th alongside a variety of Old School, New School, Funk, Soul, local and International artists on the DUMBO waterfront.

The PCIe slots can pump x16 speeds on up to four slots or x8 when occupying all eight. That bandwidth is courtesy of a new Lucid Hydra chip, which may not support the ability to mix and match different graphics cards (and that's probably for the best). The four true x16 slots can be disabled manually via onboard DIP switches dubbed "PCI-E CeaseFire".
The Big Bang Marshal also features a 24 phase DrMOS PWM design, two 8-pin CPU power connectors and one 6-pin for the PCIe slots, four DDR3 DIMM slots with support for up to 32GB of RAM, an LED POST display, power, reset and OC Genie buttons as well as a multimeter measurement point. There's also talk of "ClickBIOS," which is MSI's name for UEFI.
Connectivity includes four SATA 3Gb/s ports, four SATA 6Gb/s ports, and headers for six USB 2.0 and four USB 3.0 ports. The rear I/O plate is populated with two USB 2.0 ports, eight USB 3.0 ports (via a single host controller and two hubs), a PS/2 port, FireWire, dual-Gigabit Ethernet, and 7.1-channel audio with optical and coaxial S/PDIF output.

There are a few things we miss about being a kid: field trips, summer vacation, and those packs of valentines. We might be a little old for Barbie valentines (we say might because we secretly don't believe it), and we're not even a little interested in giving out Dora the Explorer ones (whatever happened to Rainbow Brite and those awesome cartoons?), but we're definitely not too old for these awesome Vintage Valentines ($10 for 15). Instead of stuffing the envelopes full of candy conversation hearts, we're thinking we'll deliver them with handmade cookie pops or Oreo truffles.

Twitter apologised today after pornographic footage was promoted as an "editor's pick" on its new Vine video app.
The six-second video with "adult content", which widely circulated pictures showed appearing under a warning screen, was promoted less than a week after the service launched.
Twitter blamed human error and said the video has been removed.
A spokesman said: "A human error resulted in a video with adult content becoming one of the videos in Editor's Picks, and upon realising this mistake we removed the video immediately.
"We apologise to our users for the error."
Photographs circulated on the social network showed a video posted by a user called NSFWVine - seemingly a reference to the "not safe for work" warning some Twitter users use when posting risque content.
With "editor's pick" in the corner, the cover screen said: "Warning. This post may contain sensitive content. Tap to view."
Vine, which was launched last Thursday, is an app that lets users of the social network post very short films from their mobile phones.
Dick Costolo, Twitter's chief executive, posted footage using the software through his DickC account, showing him making steak tartar in a video that resembled gif animated footage.
Twitter's vice president of product Michael Sippey wrote on his blog: "Like tweets, the brevity of videos on Vine (six seconds or less) inspires creativity."
Twitter issued a further statement saying: "Users can report videos as inappropriate within the product if they believe the content to be sensitive or inappropriate (e.g. nudity, violence, or medical procedures).
"Videos that have been reported as inappropriate have a warning message that a viewer must click through before viewing the video.
"Uploaded videos that are reported and determined to violate our guidelines will be removed from the site, and the user account that posted the video may be terminated."
The Vine Rules, posted at http://vine.co/terms, add: "All content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such content.
"We may, but are not required to monitor or control the content posted via the services (the website and app) and we cannot take responsibility for such content.
"Any use or reliance on any content or materials posted via the services or obtained by you through the services is at your own risk."
Claire Lilley, safer technology lead at the NSPCC, said: "It's good that Twitter has acted quickly in this case, but it's a stark reminder that social media platforms are not always safe for young people.
"It's vital small children are supervised on the internet and are educated about staying safe as they get older.
"There is a very real danger in terms of online pornography facing our children and it's not going to go away.
"From technology companies to parents, we must all play our part in keeping young people safe online."

Interior Minister Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz spoke extemporaneously here Tuesday during the third extraordinary meeting of GCC interior ministers, in which, on behalf of all the GCC interior ministers, he expressed pleasure in the meeting in Bahrain. He said the ministers were also happy to have met Bahraini Emir Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, who gave them valuable directives towards serving the security and stability of this important part of the world. Prince Naif also extended thanks to his Bahraini counterpart Sheikh Mohammad Bin Khalifa for his kind invitation to convene this extraordinary meeting at a critical time for Bahrain and other states in the region as well. He said permanent directives from GCC leaders to the interior ministers are, to make security their first priority and pointed out that the security of all GCC states is connected and any attempt to undermine the security of one state is an attempt to undermine the security of all six member states.
He said his Bahraini counterpart explained many things in his address to the meeting and stressed the necessity of confronting reality with all its negative and positive aspects. He called on countries outside the Gulf Cooperation Council to open "cordial and objective cooperation channels" to realize stability and understanding in this crucial region. He said it is unfortunate that these countries turn a few GCC citizens into tools to undermine security and stability, which is a regrettable thing that must be confronted.
"We would not accept that our citizens have loyalty for any party other than God the Almighty, their creed, and their homelands. Undoubtedly those who carry out such acts are misled ..... We know the backgrounds and we say to those abroad to stop at this limit and open the channels of right, which have the response of all the leaders, governments and peoples of the Gulf Cooperation Council", he said. "I say to them quite frankly that they serve neither their interests nor our own ..... and these methods have been tried at previous times and the losers were the people," he added.

SEATTLE - Mardi Gras celebrations that turned violent in historic Pioneer Square left two people critically hurt and 70 others less seriously injured.
"There will be no more Fat Tuesday," Mayor Paul Schell declared Wednesday, announcing he was canceling future Mardi Gras celebrations in Seattle.
Schell called a news conference to announce his decision but handed out a statement instead after a major earthquake hit the Northwest Wednesday morning.
"This event as it's now set up has to end," the mayor said. "Something is wrong here and we can't tolerate it."
An estimated 4,000 people jammed the streets of the Pioneer Square neighborhood, a historic section of the city, on Tuesday night and early Wednesday. As on Friday and Saturday nights, the celebration soon disintegrated into fistfighting, bottle-throwing and window-smashing by revelers - and the firing of tear gas and rubber projectiles by police. Roving groups attacked people at random.
Two men, one 24 and the other 20, were in severely critical condition with head injuries and a 23-year-old was in satisfactory condition with a broken jaw, said Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson. The 20-year-old had been injured in an assault and the 24-year-old had fallen 30 feet off an overpass.
Others, including two police officers hit by bottles, were less seriously hurt.
Twenty-one people were arrested, 19 of them adults, for investigation of assault, theft, rioting, reckless endangerment, hit-and-run driving, illegal possession of dangerous weapons and obstructing police. One person arrested was waving a cocked .45-caliber pistol, police said.
Among those hurt was Ralph Radford, a free-lance photographer working for The Associated Press, who said he was jumped and beaten by three or four people. Radford said he was bruised and almost lost consciousness before someone helped him escape.
Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske accepted responsibility for the department's inability to handle the celebrations, but Schell said police did all they could. He said his officers often could only watch as assaults took place. The crowd was too thick and too violent for police to stop the attacks, he said.
About 350 officers were on hand for the Mardi Gras crowd. They donned riot gear and closed streets in the area at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Police formed lines and released clouds of pepper spray and fired rubber projectiles early Wednesday soon after a small gray car was overturned and vandals unsuccessfully tried to set it on fire.
Officials had threatened to call off festivities Tuesday night but relented. Practically all club owners in the area had promised to stop alcohol sales at midnight.
Schell and Kerlikowske said any comparison between the city's handling of the alcohol-fueled riots and its response to protests that shut down the World Trade Organization's 1999 meeting in Seattle was unjustified.
"There's no comparison. This was an alcohol- and apparently drug-fueled crowd with no political message," Schell said. "They came only to do violence for the excitement of witnessing violence."
Mardi Gras celebrations have been held in Pioneer Square since 1977. More than 90 civilians and 30 officers were injured during disorders in 1979.

The owner of a NC puppy mill located in Alexander County agreed to surrender more than 20 animals to the Humane Society of the US after the county Sheriff 's Office received warrants to seize the animals. The legislation recently passed in the state of North Carolina is the first to ever attempt any regulation of the conditions in what are known as "puppy mills," large animal breeding facilities that usually house large numbers of dogs in less-than-ideal conditions (see Puppy mill legislation passes in NC). Events such as the Alexander county bust, however are provoking the animal activist community to continue to demand more restrictive legislation that limits the number of animals a breeding facility can possess.
According to the HSUS "North Carolina has become a haven for some of the worst puppy mill operators in the country," with over 16 puppy mill raids since 2011. The HSUS operates an award program for any individual who provides information that results in an arrest or removal of animals from a puppy mill. As with most cases leading to an arrest or removal, the animals in the Alexander County were facing severe and in many cases life threatening health conditions as well as intolerable living conditions. The animals were removed from the property by the Humane Society of Charlotte.

Where approval would significantly change a prisoner's appearance, the request must be processed in accordance with procedures - Personal Identification and Offender Photographs.
Correctional Centres offer a limited colour range of hair dyes made from one brand.
Prisoners are required to make an application for hair dye through the sales to prisoner Process when hair dye is required.
When the application is received, the matrix is to be checked to ensure that the prisoner is authorised to have hair dye and that the colour of hair dye requested matches the colour approved for that prisoner.

At the completion of the application, left-over hair dye and empty bottles should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

Study findings revealed only 9 percent of African-American patients (compared with 16 percent of white patients) were prescribed the more powerful biologic DMARDs, marketed as Enbrel and Humira. What's more, 20 percent of Latino patients were prescribed biologics, but this group typically had more severe joint pain and inactivity than whites.
Why were doctors less likely to prescribe the stronger anti-arthritis drugs to black patients? Well, researchers point to several possible reasons: African-American patients may lack access to specialists well versed in rheumatoid arthritis management; ethnic and cultural beliefs may stop minorities from immediately seeking care; black people know few in their community who take biologic DMARDs; and doctors may be unaware of how severe the arthritis is in certain people.
"If cultural beliefs inhibit a [rheumatoid arthritis] patient from seeking care immediately, the window of opportunity for treatment may be lost," said Aniket A. Kawatkar, PhD, a researcher at the Southern California Permanente Medical Group in Pasadena.
Researchers also emphasized that, ideally, a rheumatologist would assess each person's condition and then prescribe the appropriate med.

Waffles for free in the morning, clean comfortable room.
Proximity to the beach
the location right on the water you could get no closer!!!!
the food was not what we thought it would be....
The room was clean and comfortable
The room was outdated and smelled musty.
Good cheap place to stay with the basics. Bed was comfortable. Good for families traveling on a budget but definitely not a romantic getaway.
Very hard to find at night because no light to see street signs. Tiny bathroom. When I checked out about 7 am, I think I woke the clerk who came out bleary eyed and with no shoes on. Clock had wrong time.
Easy access to the room from parking lot and also to restaurant. Food was good. Location was fantastic. I would definitely stay there again.
The alarm clock went off at midnight! Also the phone had messages on it that were not for me. Could check those things out before hand.
leaving it the next morning
upon arrival I took 1 look and turned to get the sleeping bag out of the car to place atop the worn dingy bed spread. I did not want to touch it at all. the floor was warped and pushed up in areas. the shower was pretty disgusting as well.
Shower water pressure
Balcony,comfy bed,location.
Small shower,only 2 towels. No ice machine.

Threatened Species
Improving wildlife diversity through the Endangered Species Act is great, until these protected animals start running rampant with no management strategies.
Key Facts:
- Currently there are over 2000 species listed as "threatened" or "endangered" while only 20 recovered species have been removed from these lists since the ESA was enacted.
- There are numerous examples of sustainable human development projects with carefully planned wildlife mitigation measures being blocked and private property rights being infringed upon by the ESA.
No group has done more to enhance fish and wildlife populations than the sporting community, but threatened species and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) continue to cause debate in wildlife management practices.
Groups like Safari Club International are working to modernize the Endangered Species Act to fit with current scientific practices. Species such as wolves, grizzly bears, and bluefin tuna are under strict observation, and strict management plans can often close off hunting and fishing opportunities.
The biggest problem, as SCI points out, is that, presently, the majority of scientific decisions for species conservation are being made through court decisions and not by the wildlife professionals within the federal agencies tasked to administer the Endangered Species Act. Litigation is dictating the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service's priorities for dealing with species in jeopardy and is depleting the agencies' personnel and financial resources.
According to SCI, there are more than 2000 species listed as "threatened" or "endangered" according to the Endangered Species Act. Only 20 have been removed from the list since the late 1980′s. And while Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has acknowledged that the Endangered Species Act is "unmanageable and unproductive", there has not been a good solution to change this legislation.

Drunk Driver Totals Trooper's Vehicle
A trooper was uninjured but his patrol vehicle was totaled after being hit by an alleged drunk driver in Jackson Friday night.
Moments before the crash, the trooper stopped a bicyclist pulling two friends on a skateboard in the middle of the southbound lane of US 89.
As the trooper was standing at his open patrol car door he saw a vehicle speeding toward him.
The trooper had a split second to leap up and over the side of his patrol car just as the car collided with the rear and driver's side of his car.
The driver, 37 year-old Claire Johnson from Jackson, is facing multiple charges including driving while under the influence.

A commercial use was sought for approximately 150 R-36M2 ICBM's which were to be destroyed by 2007 under the START-2 treaty. During the 1990's a variety of civilian versions of the R-36M and R-36M2 were promoted as commercial launchers. Civilian or uprated versions of the MIRV dispenser buses were considered, dubbed Frakht and Lift. Straight use of surplus ICBM's was marketed under the designation RS-20K Konversiya. Under the 'Dnepr' code-name more radical modifications were considered, including converting the missile to a pad-launched booster using liquid oxygen/kerosene propellants. In the end commercial interest was minimal, and the Dnepr designation was used for launches using relatively unmodified surplus R-36M2 military rockets, launched to orbit from silos at Baikonur or ICBM bases in the standard manner.
The Dnepr launch vehicle could make timely, highly accurate injection of a single spacecraft or (using the ICBM's multiple warhead dispenser bus) multiple spacecraft with a total mass of up to 3.7 tonnes into low Earth orbits of 300-900 km altitude and 50.5°, 64.5°, 87.3°and 98° inclinations. The booster reliability of 97% had been confirmed by 157 test launches of the ICBM over its lifetime. The cold-launch and quick containerized reload features of the ICBM system meant that the existing launch complex could accomplish up to 25 launches per year. Within the standard missile shroud payloads of up to 2.5 m diameter could be accommodated. Injection accuracy to a 300 km circular orbit was 4.0 km in altitude, 3.0 seconds in orbital period, and 0.05 degrees in right ascension.

Jaci Velasquez Movies and Career Information
Oct 15, 1979
Oct 15, 1979
Jacquelyn "Jaci" Davette Velasquez (born October 15, 1979) is an American Contemporary Christian and Latin pop singer—in both English and Spanish languages. Velasquez has sold almost five million albums around the world, recorded three Platinum and three Gold albums, and recorded 16 singles that hit No. 1 plus six more that hit the top-10.[2] She has received seven Dove Awards including Best New Artist and Female Vocalist of the Year. Velasquez has co-hosted a morning radio show since late 2010. Velasquez was born in Houston, Texas. She is of Mexican, Spanish, French, Scottish, and Arab ancestry. At the age of nine, she began traveling with her father, who by that time was a full-time singing evangelist. She began by singing backup to her parents, then later sang solo. It was while on the road that she was discovered by a representative of Myrrh Records. Velasquez released her national debut album Heavenly Place in 1996 and five of the songs on that CD became No. 1 hits (she had two previous independent records). The album was later certified Platinum. Velasquez has been distinguished as the fastest selling solo debut recording artist in her genre and the first solo artist in Christian music history to reach gold status with a debut album, prior to release of sophomore project. She has since released six English-language albums, two of which were certified Gold. She has produced sixteen No. 1 Christian radio hits and six other top-10 singles, and has won seven Dove awards, including New Artist of the Year and two Female Vocalist of the Year wins. Jaci has covered over 50 magazines as well as been a spokes-model for Pepsi, Target, Doritos, John Freida's Frizz-Ease hair products and Helzberg Diamonds. In 1999, she signed to Sony Discos and was introduced to Rudy Pérez, who produced her first Spanish-language crossover album Llegar a Ti. After that, Velasquez was able to achieve the crossover appeal she desired, building a fan base among Hispanics as well as other Americans. Her first single, "Llegar a Ti", topped the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks and became the first Christian song to top the chart. The song also gave her a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Female Vocal Performance (which ultimately went to Colombian singer Shakira). In 2001, she released her second Spanish effort: Mi Corazón. The album's lead single, "Como Se Cura Una Herida," topped the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks, and became one of the biggest singles of the year, receiving multiple award nominations and wins. The album received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Latin Pop Album. Her Latin music success includes four Spanish-language releases, three No. 1 Latin Billboard Singles, two Platinum albums, a Premio Lo Nuestro Award for New Artist of the Year, two Billboard Latin Music Awards, and three Dove Awards for Spanish Language Album of the Year. Velasquez was given a chance in 2002 to act in her first Hollywood movie, Chasing Papi. As well as Velasquez, this movie featured Colombia's Sofia Vergara, Puerto Rico's Roselyn Sanchez, and Mexico's Eduardo Verastegui, as well as Nicole Scherzinger in a cameo role. It was released nationwide in the United States in April 2003. The movie reached as high as No. 11 at the box office, and it grossed $6 million in total. Velasquez has appeared in over 50 magazines—including the December 2003 issue of Right On!, wherein editor Cynthia Horner calls her a true role model to teens—and has sung for President George W. Bush multiple times. On September 2008, Velasquez was chosen by the State Department's Bureau of International Information Programs as one of the 15 Prominent Hispanic-Americans in the Arts in America. In June 2010 she also started working on and recording her first Spanish project since 2003 with Juan Carlos Rodriguez, from the Christian Latin pop duo Tercer Cielo, as well as writing a new book. Velasquez has also currently returned to acting and is starring in two new films, The Encounter and...

Containers To Clinics Provides Critical Medical Care in Haiti
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe effects of natural disasters continue to press the need for longer term health care in remote and underserved populations struggling to reclaim their livelihood. In making this a reality, the nonprofit Containers To Clinics can play a pivotal role. They are exploiting the durability and portability of container architecture to provide timely, quality health care around the world. C2C is now using their first container based clinics in Haiti and wants to roll out many more of the custom containers in the near future.1
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe containers are more complex than one would guess after a first glance. C2C partnered with Anshen + Allen Architects and Stack Design Build to design and build a prototype, and the nonprofit commissioned Allied Container Systems to build the clinics in quantity.2
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe trick is to design a full service health clinic with examination rooms and labs in difficult areas to get to and operate.3
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe 8' by 20' shipping containers have to conform to ISO standards to be transported via ship.4
- C2C by Allied ContainersBy breaking the program into two separate containers, the transportability is greatly increased.5
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe design allows the containers to sit in an L configuration to create a small courtyard for waiting patients.6
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe design is based on two tightly constructed rooms using a robust mechanical system to utilize multiple electrical sources. One container houses two examination rooms with a sink and basic medical supplies.7
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe second container holds a lab, supplies, refrigeration, pharmacy and diagnostic equipment.8
- C2C-by-Allied-ContainersThe mechanical space is accessed by the side doors to allow for service without disrupting the work inside.9
- C2C by Allied ContainersOne of the design challenges is to keep the clinic cool under a intense tropical sun. The first line of defense is a highly reflective paint and overhead canopy.10
- C2CWindows open for cross breezes, and solar powered fans run even when power is not available.11
- C2C by Allied ContainersAC can be use when enough power is available, and a 2-inch spray foam is applied providing up to r-14 insulation.12
- C2C by Allied ContainersC2C is looking to develop custom clinics for women and children's health needs across the world and anticipates building 50 clinics in the next decade to serve that population.13
- C2C by Allied ContainersThe first units cost $80,000 to build, but the prices are anticipated to dramatically go down when production is scaled up. While it's just a small dent in the overwhelming need for health services worldwide, the vision of C2C demonstrates just howpowerful mobile design can be for health providers.14

Playboy Blog Comments (10)
Wow! If anything, she's even lovelier than during her reign!. What are the chances we can see as a Picture of the Day?
It amazes me that, with almost 700 Playmates and countless Cyber Girls, SE Models, etc., and a collection of hundreds of thousands of pictures, you mostly recycle not only the same (albeit extremely beautiful) women, but the exact same photos on the same day of the month for the Picture of the Day. Based on the past few months, I'm expecting to see Regina Deutinger (Miss April 2008) leaning on a fireplace mantel on the 17th and auto mechanic A.J Alexander (Miss May 2008) on the 27th, among others.
I first thought it was simple laziness, but I'm willing to admit that you might be paralyzed by the incredible quantity and quality that you have to choose from. If the former, both your collection and your readers deserve better. If the latter, it's time to man up, take the bull by the horns, and make some choices. It's not like you can go seriously wrong (except by continuing your current inaction).
Dalene is back. She is always so beautiful.
Dear Blog Admin, I will do it. I need a job!!!!!
That's ok. I will sift through hundreds of photos for free.
@ Blog Admin
Throw me in that briar patch!
Welcome back Dalene!
Talk about rocking the house! Dalene raised the Playmate bar..Hell she raised the PMOY bar…I`ve been pretty tough on you guys for some of these photo shoots,,but today I`m taking most of it back..
Dalene,you look incredible..Thanks for making my day.
By far hotter now than 10 years ago!!!!!
I didn't too much care for her when she was a playmate, and I definitely thought there were a couple other girls who deserved to be PMOY. She is SMOKIN' now!!!!!

Hi All,
What would be the best way to update core site files such as Shadowbox if i didn't want to worry about site updates overwriting files? Also, it seems even if i did not do site updates (only Core), and chose <cfset this.jsLibLoaded=true> in my ContentRenderer.cfc, if i'm logged in, it still seems to want to show the shadowbox-jquery file. I'd like to take advantage of all the new shadowbox features, so if someone could let me know the correct and best practice way for updating i'd be greatly appreciated!

CHICAGO – Dr. Knitasha Washington is an educated, motivated healthcare consultant and researcher on a mission, a mission that primarily focuses on minorities and their health care issues. Washington is the executive director of Washington Howard Associates, a Chicago-based health care consultant and research firm working to bring to the forefront the primary care development initiative within the "black" and "brown" communities, and to initiate policy for quality health care services. As a multidimensional health care professional, Washington has joined forces with faith-based organizations, reinforcing her commitment toward education, research and policy changes, and approaching research from a practitioner's perspective.
Her undergraduate studies were at Chicago State University, Washington gone on to earn a master of health administration degree from Governors State University. She followed up that success by finalizing her research pertaining to a diverse pipeline within the health care workforce, completing a doctor of health administration degree, as well as a certification in international health studies from Central Michigan University.
Washington is concerned that sickness is normative in far too many under-served communities. Therefore, her commitment to partner with various faith-based organizations entail bridging the gap in understanding among people of different backgrounds and economic levels, with the end result being "economic improvement," along with long-term improvement in health and day-to-day health care.
Chatting with Washington makes it apparent that if such thing as destiny exists, she was one of its children: As in a "child of destiny." According to her, she landed in the health care field by default. With her formal education being "temporarily" derailed by her becoming a teenage mom, she sought out any type of employment to support herself and her daughter, as well as pursue her academic goals. With continued support and encouragement from both of her parents, her hopes, dreams and desires prevailed. Her first job was with Humana. During that time there was a lot of attention being paid to HMO's and the escalating cost of healthcare. Hindsight shows that this job began her career path and passion into what she now refers to as her "healthcare ministry."
During our pre-interview conversation, Washington and I discussed a prior Examiner.com article written by me, Ms. Rhonda B., about "what is the meaning behind 'your' name?" True to form as a researcher, she had already looked up her own name and told me that "Knitasha" has Russian origins and actually means "gift from God." And what a valuable gift she continues to be for the healthcare industry. Her target group is the 18 to 34 years of age and her research shows that when you know better, you make better decisions on the things that affect your day-to-day, as well as your long-term, well-being.

Solvation and melting in large benzene⋅(Ar) n clusters: Electronic spectral shifts and linewidths105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472049View Description Hide Description
Although there has been considerable interest in solvation processes in small atomic and molecular clusters, uncertainties in the interpretation of spectral probes have made the experimental elucidation of the solvation, and in particular how it relates to bulk solvation, problematical. We demonstrate here that, through the application of a microscopic formalism which has the novel feature of accounting for the collective dielectric response of a cluster, the reported spectra of large benzene⋅(Ar) n clusters can be readily understood. Specifically, we show that the apparent lack of convergence of the benzene's absorptionspectrum to the corresponding bulk result derives from the dominance of nonwetting cluster structures for large n. Even observed peak multiplicities and individual linewidths may be understood within this formalism if the cluster structures upon which the calculations are based are generated in a nonequilibrium (rather than thermally equilibrated) simulation. Given this detailed understanding of the relationship between spectroscopy and structure, we also can clarify the experimental consequences of the so‐called ''melting'' transition in benzene⋅(Ar) n clusters: The spectral signature of the melting is a change in the behavior of the linewidth of the absorption envelope which results from a subset, but not all, of the Ar atoms becoming fluid. This description of the melting behavior suggests an important refinement of the conventional picture of solid–fluid phase coexistence in clusters.
Identification of two 3Σ u −←X 3Σ g − transitions of 16O2 near 88930 and 90780 cm−1105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472050View Description Hide Description
New 16O2photoabsorption cross‐section measurements are presented for two bands near 88930 cm−1 and 90780 cm−1. We have assigned these bands as the (0,0) and (1,0) bands of the E ′ 3Σ u −←X 3Σ g − system, where the E ′ state is a mixed state resulting from the coupling of 4pπ u and 5pπ u 3Σ u −Rydberg states with the lowest 3Σ u − valence state. In contrast to the E 3Σ u −←X 3Σ g − bands seen at lower energies, these bands show resolved rotational structure. Spectroscopic parameters for the upper levels have been derived using an effective Hamiltonian and cross‐section band models. The observed levels are perturbed by spin‐orbit interactions with nearby levels (v=1 and 2) of the 4pπ u D ′ 3Σ u +Rydberg state. In addition, transitions to the v=2 level of the perturber state have been observed near 90920 cm−1.
Rotational excitations of a symmetric top in cubic orientational potentials. II. CHD3 matrix‐isolated in argon105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472051View Description Hide Description
Inelastic neutron scattering has been performed on CHD3 molecules matrix isolated in solid argon. Four inelastic lines have been observed within the energy transfer range 0≤ℏω≤2.5 meV. The corresponding energy level scheme and the line intensities are explained in terms of a model based on a completely free rotation of the CHD3 molecule. An expression for the double differential neutron scattering cross section of the free CHD3 rotor is derived. In spite of a line shift of 44% with respect to the free rotor, no crystal field splitting was observed.
Mid‐infrared spectra of the proton‐bound complexes Ne n –HCO+ (n=1,2)105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472052View Description Hide Description
The ν1 band of Ne–HCO+ has been recorded for both 20Ne and 22Ne containing isotopomers by means of infrared photodissociationspectroscopy. The rotational structure of the band is consistent with a parallel Σ–Σ type transition of a linear proton‐bound complex. The following constants are extracted for 20Ne–HCO+: ν0=3046.120±0.006 cm−1, B″=0.099 54±0.000 05 cm−1, D″=(5.30±0.30)×10−7 cm−1, H″=(1.1±0.9)×10−11 cm−1, B′=0.100 03±0.000 05 cm−1, D′=(4.89±0.30)×10−7 cm−1, H′=(1.6±0.9)×10−11 cm−1. The ν1 band is redshifted by 42.5 cm−1 from the corresponding ν1 transition of free HCO+ indicating that the Ne atom has a pronounced influence on the proton motion. Linewidths for individual rovibrational transitions are laser bandwidth limited, demonstrating that the lifetime of the ν1 level is at least 250 ps. An approximate radial potential for the collinear Ne...HCO+ interaction is constructed by joining the mid‐range potential obtained from a Rydberg–Klein–Rees inversion of the spectroscopic data to the theoretical long‐range polarization potential. Based on this potential, the estimated dissociation energy (D 0) for Ne–HCO+ is 438 cm−1 in the (000) state and 454 cm−1 in the (100) excited state. The rotationally unresolved ν1 band of 20Ne2–HCO+ is slightly blueshifted with respect to that of 20Ne–HCO+. The observed frequency shift is compatible with a trimer structure where the second Ne atom is attached to the linear Ne–HCO+ dimer core.
First assignment of the rotational spectrum of a molecule containing two iodine nuclei: Spectroscopic constants and structure of CH2I2105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472053View Description Hide Description
The rotational spectrum of methylene iodide was assigned by combining information from broadband mm wave spectra of low‐J transitions recorded with a supersonic‐jet spectrometer and of high‐J transitions measured for a room temperature sample. In the first step, the analysis of central frequencies of hyperfine multiplets for rotational transitions with J″ up to 189 resulted in constants of the rotational Hamiltonian H R , in which the fitted quartic centrifugal distortion constants were consistent with predictions made from ab initio calculations. The knowledge of H R allowed accurate prediction and assignment of the hyperfine structure due to the two iodine nuclei, which was made on the basis of well isolated splitting patterns observed in the jet and the effects of nuclear spin statistics visible therein. The final rotational constants are A=22 034.437(2), B=620.584(2), C=605.798(2) MHz and the hyperfine coupling constants are χ aa =−1180.9(1), χ bb −χ cc =−892.42(5), |χ ab |=1358.9(5) MHz, and χ zz =−2030.1(5), χ xx =993.4(10), χ yy =1036.7(1) MHz. The angle θ za between the inertial a axis and the principal quadrupole axis z is 32.00(1)° and is consistent with ∠(CI⋅a)=33.0(2)° from the fitted structure. The structural parameters of the halogen in CH2I2 are r(CI)=2.134(2)Å and ∠(ICI)=114.0(3)° and compare well with extrapolation from the remaining methylene halides.
Laser‐induced fluorescence spectroscopy of jet cooled p‐aminophenol105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472054View Description Hide Description
The laser‐induced fluorescence spectra of p‐aminophenol both in excitation and emission have been studied in a supersonic jet apparatus. The characterization of the observed spectra was done by comparison with other related substituted anilines and the IR data available in the literature. The excitation spectrum resembles that of aniline with optical activity mainly confined to 6a, 1, and the NH2 inversion mode. In addition, the C–X in‐plane bending mode 9b was also found to be optically active. The 6a mode dominates in most of the dispersed fluorescence spectra and shows a strong Franck–Condon activity. Unlike other similar molecules, the Δv=0 transitions were weak in the single vibronic level fluorescence spectra of 6a 1 and 11, which has been qualitatively explained in terms of Franck–Condon analysis. The onset of intramolecular vibrational redistribution occurs at 1135 cm−1, which is much higher than many substituted anilines. The van der Waals complexes viz. p‐aminophenol–Ar1 and p‐aminophenol–Ar2 were observed. A symmetric (1|1) complex for the p‐aminophenol–Ar2 is proposed based on the redshift additivity.
Nonequilibrium phenomena in spectral diffusion physics of organic glasses105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472055View Description Hide Description
We performed two different types of spectral diffusion experiments on persistent spectral holes. In all cases, we measured the holewidth as a function of time. The two experiments differed in their initial conditions: In the type 1 experiment (the ''aging experiment''), the sample was cooled from room temperature to the final temperatures which were 100 and 800 mK, respectively. Holes were burnt at various time intervals after the final temperature was reached. In the type 2 experiment (the ''cycling experiment''), the sample was allowed to relax for a period of about 10 days. Then, a hole was burnt and subjected to a temperature cycle. In all cases, the time dependence of the holewidths was strongly nonlogarithmic. The temperature cycled hole showed a narrowing regime which prevailed for the whole observation period of roughly one week. We will show that the deviation from the logarithmic time dependences is a nonequilibrium phenomenon. All features observed could be modelled within the standard tunneling model.
Autodetachment from vibrational levels of the O− 2 A 2Π u resonance across its dissociation limit by photoexcitation from O− 2 X 2Π g105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472056View Description Hide Description
We report the observation of resonance structure in the photodetachment spectrum of O− 2 in the 4 eV range, which results from the excitation of autodetaching vibrational levels of the O− 2 A–X transition near the dissociation limit. The evolution of the resonances with increasing vibration is simply explained using continuity of the inner part of the vibrational wave functions across the dissociation threshold. This affords the possibility of investigating the DA process at the half‐collision, in a kind of ''correspondence limit'' where the outer turning point slowly recedes and the vibrational wave function incrementally adopts the character of the dissociation continuum. Photoexcitation near one of the resonances results in the population of significantly higher vibrational levels in the O2 a 1Δ g state (which are cleanly resolved) than the typical ''Franck–Condon'' pattern observed for nonresonant photodetachment. Finally, hot‐band structure is also observed in the detachment spectrum, allowing us to extract a more accurate value of the O− 2 vibrational quantum (ΔG=134.4±0.8 meV) by about an order of magnitude over previous determinations.
On the origin of the dip in the KrF laser gain spectrum105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472048View Description Hide Description
High‐resolution spectra of KrF (B–X) amplified spontaneous emission from various discharge‐pumped and electron‐beam‐pumped KrF lasers have been analyzed. An underlying structured absorptionspectrum has been discovered with a well‐resolved peak at 248.91 nm. The absorption coefficient of this peak was found to vary in exact proportion to the peak laser gain coefficient but was independent of laser gas purity. We suggest that the absorption arises internally within the KrF molecule and is due to transitions from the B state to a higher‐lying Rydberg state. This hypothesis was tested by simulating the absorptionspectrum from KrF*(B) to a weakly repulsive state dissociating to Kr*(3 P 1)+F(2 P 3/2). A good agreement was obtained between simulated and experimental absorption spectra.
Tunable vacuum ultraviolet laser spectroscopy of XeAr and XeNe near 68 000 cm−1: Interatomic potentials mediated by a 6s Rydberg electron105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472081View Description Hide Description
The laser induced fluorescencespectra of XeAr and XeNe have been measured near the Xe 6s[3/2]°1−1 S 0 transition at 68 045.663 cm−1. In XeAr, nine discrete peaks were observed, attributed to excitation to vibrational levels of the excited Ω=0+ electronic state, merging into a continuum. From a Franck–Condon analysis, the potential for the excited Ω=0+ state of XeAr was determined. It was found that this potential has a shallow minimum at long range [D e ′=28(1) cm−1, r e ′=5.44(7) Å] with a shallow repulsive wall. The shallow repulsive wall is attributed to the influence of the XeAr+ ion core at short range. The role of the 6sRydberg electron of Xe in determining the shape of the interatomic potentials of excited XeRg (Rg=a rare gas atom) is discussed on the basis of a simple model potential, in which the interatomic potential is described as the sum of a diatomic ion core (XeRg+) potential term and a term representing the exchange repulsion between the Rydberg electron and the rare gas moiety. For XeNe, only continuum spectra were observed, indicating that the upper states are not bound.
Intrinsic non‐RRK behavior: Classical trajectory, statistical theory, and diffusional theory studies of a unimolecular reaction105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472057View Description Hide Description
The nonstatistical behavior of a unimolecular reaction at energies well in excess of the threshold is examined. This behavior is sometimes referred to as ''intrinsically non‐Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus'' (RRKM). It is well known that microcanonical unimolecular rates computed by using classical mechanics can deviate from the predictions of statistical theories, particularly at high energies. The simplest manifestation of this behavior is that rate constants as a function of energy cannot be represented by simple expressions such as the RRK equation, k(E)=ν(1−E*/E) s−1, with a single set of parameter values over a wide energy range; more specifically, fits of the classical RRK expression to trajectory results frequently yield values for the effective number of degrees of freedom s that are significantly smaller than the ''theoretical'' values 3N−6. In the present study, rates were calculated for the unimolecular dissociation of dimethylnitramine, (CH3)2NNO2, by simple N–N bond rupture over wide energy ranges by using classical trajectories and Monte Carlo transition‐state theory. The formalism of a diffusionaltheory of chemical reactions is used to develop a model that relates classical reaction rates to intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR). This model is based on the assumption that the molecular modes can be separated into reaction coordinate and energy reservoir modes. It is shown how this model can be used to extrapolate high‐energy, nonstatistical classical trajectory rates to the low‐energy, statistical region.
Independent center, independent electron approximation for dynamics of molecules and clusters105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472816View Description Hide Description
A formalism is developed for evaluating probabilities and cross sections for multiple‐electron transitions in scattering of molecules and clusters by charged collision partners. First, the molecule is divided into subclusters each made up of identical centers (atoms). Within each subcluster coherent scattering from identical centers may lead to observable phase terms and a geometrical structure factor. Then, using a mean field approximation to describe the interactions between centers we obtain A I ∼∑ k ∏ ke iδ k I A Ik . Second, the independent electron approximation for each center may be obtained by neglecting the correlation between electrons in each center. The probability amplitude for each center is then a product of single electron transition probability amplitudes, a Ik i , i.e. A Ik ≊∏ ia ik i . Finally, the independent subcluster approximation is introduced by neglecting the interactions between different subclusters in the molecule or cluster. The total probability amplitude then reduces to a simple product of amplitudes for each subcluster, A≊∏ IA I . Limitations of this simple approximation are discussed.
A study on ion–molecule reactions in the H+ 3 system with the trajectory‐surface‐hopping model105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472047View Description Hide Description
Cross sections for ion production in the D++H2, D++D2, and H++D2 collisions have been calculated in the center‐of‐mass collision energy range of 2.5 to 8.0 eV by using trajectory‐surface‐hopping method on ab initiopotential energy surfaces. For the production of H+ and HD+ ions in the D++H2 collisions the present results agree with experiments. For the production of D+ 2 ions in the D++D2 collisions the calculations show agreement with the experimental results at energies below 4.5 eV, but lead to an overestimate above 5.0 eV. For the production of D+ and HD+ ions in the H++D2 collisions, agreement between the calculations and experiments is good in the whole energy range, while a deviation comes out between both the results for the charge transfer H++D2→D+ 2+H above 5.0 eV. As far as the energy dependence of cross sections is concerned, the present calculations well reproduce all the experiments, owing to the use of the ab initio surfaces, instead of the diatomics‐in‐molecules surfaces.
State‐selective control for vibrational excitation and dissociation of diatomic molecules with shaped ultrashort infrared laser pulses105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472058View Description Hide Description
Ultrafast state‐selective dynamics of diatomic molecules in the electronic ground state under the control of infrared picosecond and femtosecond shaped laser pulses is investigated for the discrete vibrational bound states and for the dissociative continuum states. Quantum dynamics in a classical laser field is simulated for a one‐dimensional nonrotating dissociative Morse oscillator, representing the local OH bond in the H2O and HOD molecules. Computer simulations are based on two approaches — exact treatment by the time‐dependent Schrödinger equation and approximate treatment by integro‐differential equations for the probability amplitudes of the bound states only. Combination of these two approaches is useful to reveal mechanisms underlying selective excitation of the continuum states and above‐threshold dissociation in a single electronic state and for designing optimal laser fields to control selective preparation of the high‐lying bound states and the continuum states. Optimal laser fields can be designed to yield almost 100% selective preparation of any prescribed bound state, including those close to the dissociation threshold. State‐selective preparation of the highest bound state may be accompanied by the appearance of a quasi‐bound molecular state in the continuum with the kinetic energy of the fragments being close to zero. The respective above‐threshold dissociation spectrum contains an additional, zero‐order peak. The laser‐induced dissociation from selectively prepared high‐lying bound states is shown to be very efficient, with the dissociation probability approaching the maximal value. Flexible tools of state‐selective laser control are developed which enable one to achieve selective control of the dissociation spectra resulting in time‐selective and space‐selective control of the dissociation fragments.
Absolute partial and total cross‐section functions for the electron impact ionization of C60 and C70105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472059View Description Hide Description
Electron impact ionization of C60 and C70 was studied using a molecular/electron beam ion source in combination with a two sector field mass spectrometer operated in the ion beam deflection mode. Relative partial ionization cross sections for the production of singly and multiply charged parent ions (up to charge state z=4) and fragment ions (down to C+ 44 in the case of C60 and down to C2+ 50 in the case of C70) were determined from threshold up to 1000 eV electron energy. Absolute partial and total ionization cross sections are obtained using a novel approach for the absolute calibration involving an intercomparison of the cation with the anion yield. The results obtained reveal not only an anomalous large parent ion cross section as compared to other ionization channels [e.g., σ(C+ 60/C60) is more than a factor of 30 larger than σ(C+ 58/C60)] but also anomalies for the production of multiply charged parent and fragment ions. For instance, the maximum cross section for the formation of C2+ 60 amounts to 30% of the maximum C+ 60 cross section and that of C2+ 70 to about 50% of C+ 70. Moreover, for all fragment ions, the formation of the doubly charged fragment ions has a larger cross section than that of the respective singly charged fragment ion. These peculiar features of the kinetics of electron impact ionization of C60 and C70 are related to the specific electronic and geometric structures of these fullerenes. The present absolute cross‐section data for the summed up partial cross sections are in good agreement with a recent semiclassical calculation from our laboratory.
On the origin of matrix elements for electronic excitation (energy) transfer105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472060View Description Hide Description
The origin of electronic energy transfer (EET) between two chromophores (D and A) is explored further for several molecular situations that may be encountered in experiment—namely, nonoverlapping active‐space orbitals of the D and A chromophores, forbidden electronic excitations for both chromophores, and an allowed and a forbidden electronic excitation for the D and A chromophores, respectively. The theory is illustrated via the results of calculations of the EET matrix elements for model systems with both four–eight active‐space electrons and all of the electrons included explicitly. In each case, it is found that any overlap contribution to these matrix elements is associated much more with charge‐transfer and penetration terms rather than it is with the Dexter exchange integral. The calculated magnitude of the latter integral is always smaller than that of the Coulomb integral.
Simulation of activation free energies in molecular systems105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472061View Description Hide Description
A method is presented for determining activation free energies in complex molecular systems. The method relies on knowledge of the minimum energy path and bases the activation free energy calculation on moving along this path from a minimum to a saddle point. Use is made of a local reaction coordinate which describes the advance of the reaction in each segment of the minimum energy path. The activation free energy is formulated as a sum of two terms. The first is due to the change in the local reaction coordinate between the endpoints of each segment of the path. The second is due to the change in direction of the minimum energy path between consecutive segments. Both contributions can be obtained by molecular dynamics simulations with a constraint on the local reaction coordinate. The method is illustrated by applying it to a model potential and to the C7eq to C7ax transition in the alanine dipeptide. It is found that the term due to the change of direction in the reaction path can make a substantial contribution to the activation free energy.
Properties of phosphorus compounds by density functional theory: CH3P species as a test case105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472062View Description Hide Description
A comparison of different density functional theory(DFT) and molecular orbital (MO) methods for calculating molecular and energetic properties of low‐coordinated phosphorus compounds is reported. While DFT methods include both Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr (BLYP and B3LYP) nonlocal functionals, MO methods involve second‐order perturbation theory (MP2), quadratic configuration interaction [QCISD(T)], and coupled‐cluster theory [CCSD(T)], in conjunction with the 6‐31G(d,p), 6‐311++G(3df,2p), and 6‐311++G(3df,3pd) basis sets.Properties examined include geometrical parameters of the different CH3P equilibrium structures (phosphaethene, phosphinocarbene, methylphosphinidene, and a phosphacarbyne) and relevant transition structures for isomerisations and rearrangements in both the lowest‐lying singlet and triplet states, vibrational wave numbers, relative energies, barrier heights, and singlet–triplet energy gaps. In addition, the heat of formation,ionization energy, and proton affinity of phosphaethene are also evaluated. Overall, the B3LYP method, when employed with a large basis set, yields energetic results comparable to the CCSD(T) results. Nevertheless, both DFT methods fail to predict the behavior of the addition/elimination reactions of the hydrogen atom in the triplet state.
Approaches to bifurcating reaction path105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472063View Description Hide Description
The intrinsic reaction path (IRP) often becomes unstable relative to some nontotally symmetric direction orthogonal to the path through a valley–ridge inflection point. We investigate geometric characters of the potential energy surface around the valley–ridge inflection boundary, and propose some ideas to determine a bifurcating reaction path, or to give a two‐dimensional potential energy surface which connects bifurcating point and product regions. As a demonstration, bifurcating reaction paths are calculated for the isomerizationreaction of methoxy radical (H3CO→H2COH) by the unrestricted Hartree–Fock (UHF) method.
The structure and binding energy of K+–ether complexes: A comparison of MP2, RI‐MP2, and density functional methods105(1996); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.472082View Description Hide Description
The structures and binding energies of several cation:ether complexes (K+:dimethyl ether, K+:dimethoxyethane, K+:12‐crown‐4 and K+:18‐crown‐6) were determined with second and fourth order perturbation theory using correlation consistent basis sets. Several of these are the largest correlated calculations yet attempted on crown ethers. The observed systematic convergence to the complete basis set limit provides a standard by which the accuracy of previous studies can be measured and facilitates the calibration of density functional methods. Recent Fouier transform ion cyclotron resonance experiments predicted K+:18‐crown‐6 binding energies which were significantly smaller than ab initio calculations. None of the potential sources of error examined in the present study were large enough to explain this difference. Although the 6‐31+G* basis set used in an earlier theoretical study was smaller than the smallest of the correlation consistent basis sets, with suitable correction for basis set superposition error, it appears capable of yielding binding energies within several kcal/mol of the basis set limit. Perturbation theory calculations exploiting the ''resolution of the identity'' approximation were found to faithfully reproduce binding energies and conformational differences. Although the cation–ether interaction is dominated by classical electrostatics, the accuracy of density functional techniques was found to be quite sensitive to the choice of functionals. The local density SVWN procedure performed well for binding energies and conformational differences, while underestimating K+O distances by up to 0.08 Å. The gradient‐corrected Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr functional underestimated the K+:12c4 binding energy by 4–7 kcal/mol or 15%.

I love color! Color and texture are most important in my work. Fabric is one of the most versatile mediums out there. It has infinite textures and so many possibilities for manipulation. It can be dyed, printed on, sewn together, torn apart, layered with other fibers or beads, and enhanced in a multitude of ways. It is perfect for expressing my feelings about color, pattern, and texture.
To create one of my textile pieces, I begin by dyeing white cotton or rayon fabric. Fabrics of varying weights and textures can be used. Cold water dye and fabric manipulation achieve a multicolor quality. In many of my pieces, I also use fabric upon which I have screen-printed a design. Then the fabrics can be layered and joined together using a sewing machine as well as different types of adhesives in a collage style.
Please contact me with any questions about the works you see here, or if you are interested in commissioning a special piece for your home or work environment.

Given the fabled power and effectiveness of a Gun Free Zone, I have invented the next step: The Crime Free Zone. After all, why stop with simply keeping guns out? Can't people cause mayhem with a knife or a club? Why stop with forbidding only guns? Isn't the big worry what they will do with them? And for that matter, no weapon is needed for stealing or vandalism. There are a variety of criminal activites businesses would rather keep out than allow. Therefore, in the interest of making a simple, effective sign, I propose the Crime Free Zone sign.
Just like posting a No Guns Allowed sign keeps all firearms out of businesses that post the sign, this new sign will bring a sharp halt to all forms of criminal activiy because it says so! What kind of a person would go against such an edict? It is bound to work. Not only that, since it is legal in more and more places to carry a sidearm as one goes about one's day, the new sign would not block the business potential of law abiding weapons carriers. Where is the downside?
