Jeffco's Citizen Budget Review Panel is recommending that the county finance several major construction projects over the next 20 years and establish a fund to handle annual maintenance and replacement costs — all without raising taxes.
Several South Jeffco homes have been hit by overnight burglaries recently, in some cases while the families were at home.
Five burglaries were reported in the Columbine Knolls South and Foothill Green neighborhoods between May 26 and 28, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. In three of those cases, the families were home at the time and were sleeping. The suspects never confronted the families.
A new pretrial assessment program could make it possible for Jeffco judges to grant more defendants bail and dramatically reduce the population at the jail.
The program would restructure the way judges make decisions on granting bail, which could reduce the jail population by up to 300 inmates per day, Tom Giacinti, the county's justice services director, told the county commissioners May 26.
Valentine's Day 2000 will forever be burned into the memories of two South Jeffco families.
On that day, 15-year-old Nicholas Kunselman and 16-year-old Stephanie Hart were found murdered at a Subway sandwich shop on West Coal Mine Avenue near Columbine High School. More than nine years later, the case remains unsolved.
The ever-evolving plans to move and expand the Table Mountain Animal Center took a new turn when county leaders recently approved spending $5.2 million from the general fund.
The county will then issue $5.2 million in "certificates of participation" to repay the general fund. Certificates of participation are a form of lease-purchase financing that does not require voter approval; the county plans to fund the debt payments with revenue from dog licenses.
All weekend dates are from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• June 6-7 — Highway 72 and Camp Eden Road
• June 13-14 —eeConifer High School and Inter-Canyon Fire Station 3 on Settler's Drive
• June 27-28 — Evergreen High School
• July 18-19 —eeConifer High School and North Fork Fire Department Station 1, 19384 Highway 126 in Buffalo Creek
• Aug. 15-16 — Inter-Canyon Fire Station 3 on Settler's Drive,eeand Foothills Fire Department, U.S. 40 and Lookout Mountain Road.
A Denver-based Latino advocacy organization is helping Latino residents apply for food stamps in Jefferson County, and the county says the project has been a huge help.
The Latin American Research and Service Agency recently was awarded a federal grant to help low-income Latino households apply for food stamps in Jefferson, Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder and Denver counties.
The nonprofit group initially planned to use the money to encourage more Latinos to apply for benefits but after meeting with county officials, it became clear the mission had to change.
Most of the children knew what was going on as the giant chicken approached their classroom.
"It's the birthday bird!" they shouted, knowing they were about to rattle off answers to school trivia questions.
How many students attended Blue Heron Elementary the first year it opened? Their answer: 150.
How many attend now? Answer: 450.
How many books are in the library? Answer: 10,000.
How many pizzas does the school serve on pizza day? Answer: 36
Jefferson County's general fund maintained a healthy balance in the first quarter of 2009, but it reflects some of the country's economic woes when compared with the first three months of 2008, according to a recent presentation by the county's top budget official.
The county's general fund is doing fine, even though revenues are down or flat and expenditures are up, County Administration and Services Director Todd Leopold told county commissioners May 19.
A district judge awarded Jefferson County more than $213,000 after ruling that investments made by former treasurer Mark Paschall were unlawful.
The county sued Ohio-based Capital Securities of America Inc. in 2007 after two of its brokers sold then-Treasurer Mark Paschall four collateralized mortgage obligations worth more than $114 million.

on August 18, 2013 - 9:12 PM
It's official: A record-setting number of visitors – 1,160,184 – crossed through the gates into the Erie County Fair this year, breaking the previous record set in 2011 by 10 percent.
LouAnn Delaney, director of marketing and public relations, announced the figures late Sunday.
The previous record was set in 2011, when 1,053,150 visitors made their way to the Hamburg Fairgrounds.
Delaney credited the attendance uptick to a number of factors, including a combination of ideal weather, entertainment and gate promotions.
"It's been a very good year and a better year than it was last year," said Delaney, who added that the Erie County Fair is one of the 15 best- attended in North America. Organizers are hoping to crack the Top 10.
The fair also broke records in another way.
For the first time, a canned-good drive for the Western New York Food Bank was incorporated into the festivities. Fairgoers who donated canned goods received discounts on admission prices.
Through a mix of canned food and monetary donations, about 250,000 pounds of canned goods were collected, marking an all-time high for a single local drive at the Food Bank, Delaney said.
"It's humbling," she said. "It's given everyone a good feeling of giving back."
The fair plans to repeat the drive next year, during the 175th version of the Erie County Fair.
Also new this year were four acres of newly paved blacktop and an enhanced food court area.
Familiar favorites remained. Food stands glistened with posters advertising trusty culinary standbys, such as deep-fried Oreos and blooming onions.
Kid-friendly roller-coasters chugged along tracks. More daring riders braved such rides as the Tilt-a-Whirl and the Enterprise, twirling and flipping in every direction at dizzying speeds.
Coaching his sons as they attempted to perform back flips on a bungee-like apparatus, John Galante said he made the drive from near Rochester in Monroe County because the fair offers fun for all ages. His 18-month-old son enjoys the barn animals. His 7- and 9-year-olds enjoy the bungee apparatus, called the Mega Jump.
"For me, it's the french fries," Galante joked.
Darnell James, 31, enthusiastically recalled the fair foods he conquered this year – fried dough, turkey wings and ribbon fries with cheese.
"I'm thinking about trying the deep-fried things, like a fried Oreo, but I'm scared," he said. James was at the fair with his daughters, 4 years and 3 months.
"Time with the kids – it means a lot," he said.
Malachi Elliott, 11, a first-timer, said a day at the fair helped him conquer his fear of fast-moving rides.
"I would love to come back next year," he said.
He'll have plenty waiting for him, if he does.
Plans for next year's anniversary- edition fair are under way – beginning today, with the leveling of three barns to be replaced by a state-of-the art agricultural discovery center set to debut next year.
The 60,000-square-foot center will be open year-round and will feature interactive exhibits, theater, classrooms and stalling areas.
Also, tight-rope walker Nik Wallenda has announced he'll be toeing the line over the breadth of the fairgrounds next year.
The logistics of the walk are still being planned.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Done with lots epic-ness. >> =O
"Oh my, That was said epicly."
av TANDYYPANDYY 2. september 2008
Epicly finds its origins in its root word, epic. It is an adverb and was first used on Friday, October 24, 2008 on Digg to describe what many believe is a lack of intelligence on the part of Sarah Palin as it relates to reality. Epicly generally has a negative connotation.
1. Sarah Palin is epicly stupid. 2. I accidentally the whole thing... epicly.

Registration is now open for the 2011 ALS User Meeting to be held at Berkeley Lab, October 3-5, 2011. When registering, attendees are encouraged to nominate members of the staff and user community for awards for outstanding contributions in scientific achievement, instrumentation development, and user support at the ALS.
All staff and users are also invited to participate in the second annual ALS Photo Contest. This year's theme is "The ALS at Work" with the focus on users, students, and staff working in and around the ALS, celebrating the broad spectrum of people who make the ALS a success. Prizes will be awarded to the photographers whose photos are selected by the user community during the meeting.
The Advanced Light Source, its science and its users, will be featured at the next "Science at the Theater" at the Berkeley Repertory Theater on Monday, September 12, from 7 to 9 p.m. Moderated by Roger Falcone, panel speakers will include users Rachel Segalman, Axel Brunger, and Andrew Westphal discussing how their research at the ALS is paving the way for clean energy, improving medicine, and probing the mysteries of the universe.
The User Office received 317 new general user proposals (GUPs), and beam time requests for 289 active proposals for the January-June 2012 cycle. This is a record number of new proposals!
The General Sciences Proposal Study Panel (PSP) will meet on August 25-26 to complete the review and scoring of all new GUPs. The PSP will also review the eight Approved Program proposals and make recommendations to the Scientific Advisory Committee. Beamline allocation meetings for all beamlines will begin in September.
A big thanks to all beamline scientists who completed the new proposal feasibility review. The PSP is already reviewing proposals and benefiting from their comments.
Reminder about User Agreements
The DOE requires all users working at user facilities to have a signed User Agreement. A User Agreement is a contract between Berkeley Lab and a user's home institution and covers all users from that institution. User Agreements are formally implemented by the Lab's Sponsored Project Office; a list of more than 300 current User Agreements can be viewed here.
A User Agreement takes several days to set up, so it is essential that anyone inviting researchers to the ALS who are NOT working under a General Science or Structural Biology GUP, or an Approved Program proposal (i.e., PRT users, beamline scientist's invitees, etc.), notify both the user and the User Office if a User Agreement is required. The ALS User Office and the Resource Group will work to ensure that all User Agreements are in place before users arrive to avoid delay in working at the ALS. More information about User Agreements can be found in the ALS User Guide.
The SMASH scholars who toured the ALS will be sophomores at Bay Area high schools this fall. Their visit was part of their capstone course "Current Research Topics in Science." Seeing the ALS allowed the students to view one of the largest, most interdisciplinary and collaborative research facilities in the country. Students saw first hand that "cutting-edge science is exciting and conducted by real people." According to Boatman, who conducts research on Beamline 10.3.2, the students also told their peers that they learned a lot of new things and that the ALS field trip was a lot of fun. "Of course," she said, "those of us who conduct research at the ALS already know how much fun it is!"
Submit Nominations for UEC Awards, New Representatives
The 2011 ALS User Meeting is fast approaching (October 3-5, 2011) and registration is open. Co-chairs Jeff Kortright and Gyorgy Snell have planned an exciting program, including a diverse set of plenary talks, an update from the DOE, an open forum for users, ALS science highlights, and topical workshops. Back by popular demand, the student Poster Slam will continue this year as part of the student poster competition, so polish up your elevator speech and enter your poster abstract.
I want to ask each of you to consider nominating a worthy individual or team for one of the three awards given at the User Meeting. Nominations are open for the Shirley Award for Outstanding Science, the Halbach Award for Innovative Instrumentation, and the Renner Award for Outstanding Support to Users. Nomination forms and instructions can be found at the meeting Web site. The nomination deadline is Wednesday, September 14.
Please also consider nominating yourself or another user for election to the Users' Executive Committee. The UEC represents the interests of all users to ALS management and DOE. We need talented individuals from all of the user communities to help us accomplish this goal. We also need to elect a new student member this year for a two-year term. Please contact Corie Ralston or David Osborn to learn more or submit a nomination. I look forward to seeing you October 3-5 at the ALS User Meeting. All users are welcome to contact their UEC representatives to raise issues of concern relating to their own research or to alert us to issues facing our whole community.

I found this class to be very helpful. The lessons were loaded with lots of useful strategies to use in the classroom. I also liked the supplementary material. I have already used those in my room. Thank you!
I loved this course. I have accumulated so many great ideas from the instructor and other students. It has been so valuable. Thank you
I thought the instructor did a great job of presenting the material and gave very helpful links for the teachers to use in the classroom.
Thanks! This class was full of wonderful information. I look forward to trying these in my classroom.
Thank you for a terrific class; it was so much fun and I gained may new ideas to use in my classroom. Your passion for math made me smile through all the lessons. You have a wonderful teaching style and it was a pleasure to have you as my instructor.
Thank You!!! I have learned so much from this course. There are so many things that I have already used. I can't wait to use more of the ideas that you have presented. I enjoy taking classes that allow me to take things back into the classroom and use right away. I learned about so many wonderful ideas. Thanks again for all that you provided.
This has been the best online course I have taken. You have fabulous ideas and didn't water down the curriculum. You treated us like professionals and I highly recommend this class! Keep up the good work!
Even though I have been teaching math for 20 years, your course brought back ideas that I somehow have "shelved" during my tenure! I have taken MANY notes as to what I would like to bring back into my classroom!
Michele is a powerhouse of a teacher. Lessons were fresh and well-constructed and resonated true challenges in the classroom. She was inspiring and wise in her coaching and ideas. Her students are fortunate to have her as a math teacher, as I was to have her teach me how to be better at my teaching game. You won't regret this class.
Michele's enthusiasm for math is contagious! She presents her mastery of skill in an artful and fun way. Her ideas are brilliant and very creative. I love how fluidly she interweaves vocabulary, critical thinking, problem solving, games, and literacy into math. After taking the class I feel inspired to make math fun. Excellent course, I would highly recommend to educators needing a boost in their math curriculum!

|Extracting the Eliashberg Function
A multitude of important chemical, physical, and biological phenomena are driven by violations of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (BOA), which decouples electronic from nuclear motion in quantum calculations of solids. Recent advances in experimental techniques combined with ever-growing theoretical capabilities now hold the promise of presenting an unprecedented picture of these violations. By means of high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission at the ALS and theoretical calculations, a multi-institutional collaboration that includes researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of Tennessee, Stanford University, and the ALS has obtained the first high-resolution spectroscopic images of the specific vibrational modes that couple to a given electronic state.
Breakdown in the BOA results from low-energy excitations of the electrons near the Fermi energy coupling with vibrational excitations of the solid. The resulting vibronic interactions are a necessary ingredient in any process that makes or breaks a covalent bond, such as conventional catalysis or enzymatically facilitated biological reactions. Conventional superconductivity, which is driven by the electron-lattice interaction, is another classic result. And many of the emergent properties of complex materials or artificially nanostructured materials result from coupling of the electronic and lattice motion in systems that are inherently anisotropic.
The manifestation of this coupling is a distortion in the measured dispersion (energy ε vs momentum k) near the Fermi surface relative to that from a first-principles calculation for the electron bands in a solid without vibrational motion (a frozen lattice) or, failing that, a simple parabolic (ε ~ k2) band. This distortion has been seen in several materials using high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The anisotropic nature of this coupling can be seen directly because the ARPES technique allows measurements to be made as a function of the magnitude and direction of the electron's speed.
The researchers chose to study the () surface of beryllium (Be) because it is a light element (Z = 4), is strongly bonded (i.e., has large vibrational energies), and is known to have two-dimensional surface states. Previous measurements on Be(0001) had already revealed a breakdown in the BOA near the Fermi energy. The group has found a similar breakdown in their comparison of the measured and calculated energy vs momentum for a surface state on Be().
Physicists call the difference between the first-principles calculation and the measured curve the real part of the self energy ReΣ(ε), where ε is the energy measured in eV with respect to the Fermi energy εF. The breakthrough in this work occurred when the researchers demonstrated that by means of a procedure called the maximum entropy method (MEM), the experimental data could be used to extract from ReΣ(ε) the spectroscopic function α2F(ω). Known as the Eliashberg function, this function is the product of the density (F) of vibrational modes with frequency ω at the surface and the coupling constant (α2) of the modes to the electrons. Hence, for the first time, one can see which vibrational modes are important and compare them with experimental and theoretical determinations of the energies and character of the vibrational modes.
In the 1960s, the most definitive signature for determining the mechanism in conventional superconductors was the measurement of the electron tunneling I-V characteristic and the concomitant inversion procedure to display the Eliashberg function. The procedure developed in this work can produce in unprecedented detail a spectroscopic picture of the direction-dependent nature of the coupling between the electrons and the lattice vibrations in anisotropic two-dimensional systems. The researchers are now exploring the application of MEM to extract the Eliashberg function from photoemission data on other materials, including high-temperature superconductors.

Trained at the famous Norland College, she will be joining George and his parents on their upcoming tour of New Zealand and Australia, and the couple is "delighted she has chosen to join them," a palace source says.
It first emerged 10 days ago that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had taken on a Spanish woman for their household – an experienced nanny, in her 30s, "totally dedicated to the family" she was working with.
Borrallo is "living in" with the family at Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, PEOPLE has confirmed. This is very much in keeping with what would be expected by Norland nanny experts.
Claire Burgess, a fully trained Norland nanny who now works to help train other nannies, told PEOPLE that the couple would have been looking for someone who was comfortable working in their home. "Someone they can trust and can look after their baby to the best of their ability," she says.
The couple had tried to keep the number of staffers relatively small, and Borrallo joins a team that also includes a housekeeper and a driver/orderly. Burgess says the couple would want "to keep the number of people coming and going from the home to a minimum, so I think they would have most likely have one person doing the majority of the care."
In the early days post-birth, Kate mainly had help from her mother, Carole, back at the family home in Bucklebury. But, by the end of the summer, they had enlisted one of William's former nannies, Jessie Webb, 71. That was always likely to be a temporary measure, and the tour of New Zealand and Australia provided the perfect time to get someone new, and long term, on board.
"They are being sensible in trying to keep it as personal as possible. And hopefully they will be able to enjoy their baby away from the media and experience parenthood," Burgess adds.
A Norland College spokeswoman would not say when Borallo was at the famous institution, but she noted: "We want to wish her all the best for her new position."

Thousands upon thousands of women have battled breast cancer. Some have pulled through the disease, while others succumbed to the disease after a brave fight. Few people who have waged war with breast cancer are better known than Susan Komen, a name many instantly associate with the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the most widely known, largest and well-funded breast cancer organization in the United States.
Susan G. Komen was born Susan Goodman in 1943 in Peoria, Ill. According to her sister, Nancy, Susan was the high school homecoming queen and a college beauty queen. After graduating from college, Goodman returned to her hometown and pursued modeling, eventually marrying her high school sweetheart, Stan.
Komen was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977 after finding a lump that subsequent testing revealed was cancerous. Komen underwent a procedure called a subcutaneous mastectomy, in which the outside of the breast tissue was left intact, but the interior breast tissue was removed. The doctor who did the procedure assured Komen that she was cured. Despite urging her sister to get a second opinion, Komen was convinced she was safe.
But within six months Komen found another lump under her arm, and, by this point, it was evident that the cancer had spread. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic soon determined the cancer had metastasized to her lung and under her arm.
Komen underwent several different treatments to slow the progression of the cancer, including radiation and intense chemotherapy. However, the cancer continued to spread and eventually her body developed a resistance to most of the medication. During treatment, Komen repeatedly spoke with her sister about her wish to make the entire breast cancer experience and treatments in the hospital more palatable for women, including improving the appearance of waiting rooms and treatment centers, and doing other things to help comfort those who would find themselves in similar situations in the future. Komen lost her battle with breast cancer in 1980 at age 36.
By the time of her death, Komen had undergone nine operations and three courses of chemotherapy and radiation.
Nancy Goodman Brinker then made it her mission to do everything she could to help end breast cancer and increase awareness of this potentially deadly disease. In 1982, Brinker established the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in her sister's memory. Since its inception, the organization, now called Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has provided funding for basic, clinical and translational breast cancer research projects.
It also has become instrumental in breast health education and urging women to do self-screening while promoting annual mammograms. Through the years, the foundation has teamed up with many well-known businesses, brands and organizations as part of its fundraising efforts.
To date, the organization has invested $750 million in breast cancer research, awarding many thousands of dollars in grants in countries around the world.

Sandra Scott, a widow living in Rantowles, could sure use some of the $7,273 that Charleston County is holding in her late husband's name, but it seems there's no practical way for her to get hold of it.
"For the money to just sit there — I could use it even for food," said Scott, 67, who gets by on about $1,000 a month from Social Security. "That's a lot of money to me."
But at the end of this year the county will most likely get to keep that money, along with nearly $500,000 the county is holding for other people and businesses. It's something that happens in every county, every year, across South Carolina.
The cash comes from the excess proceeds of delinquent tax sales.
In Scott's case, the county auctioned off an acre of land owned by her husband and his extended family, out past Rantowles Creek, to collect $281.53 in unpaid property tax and penalties.
How it works
The way such sales work is a tax-delinquent property owner has a year to reclaim their property after it's sold at auction, by getting the taxes up to date and making substantial interest payments to the auction bidder.
Most bidders participate in the auctions in order to get the interest payments, currently up to 12 percent of the bid amount, and most properties do get reclaimed.
But if the property isn't reclaimed, the auction bidder gets to keep it. The county only gets the amount of money owed for current and past-due taxes, and the rest of the auction bid — in Scott's case the $7,273 — is supposed to go back to the previous property owners or their heirs.
What happens next
The problem typically is, some of those property owners have died, others have moved, businesses have closed, and in a case like Scott's involving heirs' property, there could be a dozen or more names on the deed and little way to determine who's owed what — if the named owners can even be found.
"I tried to collect it, but the attorney told me it would cost more money than I could have gotten," said Scott. "I have to get all the heirs to sign off on it, and that's pretty much an impossibility, because there are 11 names on the deed, but only about two of them are alive."
That's a common complication with heirs' property, which is property that's been handed down through generations of inheritance, usually without a will. Often in South Carolina, heir's property involves land owned by black families following the Civil War.
An heirs' property could have many owners who may not even know one another — an arrangement that makes everything from tax payments to mortgage loans very difficult, if not impossible.
"When it comes to heirs' property, I will tell you it's difficult," said George Boniface, director of revenue collections for Charleston County. "There's got to be some sort of legal untanglement before we can give the money to somebody.
"We, by law, are supposed to give (the money) only to the defaulting taxpayer on the deed, on the record as of the redemption date," he said. "If it's heirs, and somebody passes, then it's a probate issue."
Josh Walden, staff attorney for the Center for Heirs' Property Preservation, said there's no easy answer.
"The process of clearing title to an heirs property, when you are talking about multiple generations, you're looking at legal fees that can range from $20,000 to $30,000," he said. "Very often, it's not worth the amount of money it would cost to get a judge to determine which heir is entitled to what portion of the money."
The outcome
The result, which tends to fall disproportionately on black residents with lower incomes, takes many forms and they are all bad. First, there could be people on a property's deed who don't even know the property exists, but someone has to pay the taxes.
"Often the people paying the taxes don't even live on the land, but were paying the taxes because it's family land," Walden said.
That's what Scott's husband, Ben, had been doing. She said he always paid the taxes on that acre of land, sometimes by selling timber, but without a clear title the land couldn't be sold, or borrowed against.
"I let that one (property) go because the heirs, the family members, didn't want to do anything to help with the taxes," Scott said.
Next, the heirs' land goes to tax sale, and is sold at a bargain price. The cash in excess of the taxes owed is supposed to go back to the previous owner, but the ownership can be impossible to sort out.
Benefitting from this system are the buyers, who pick up cheap land, and eventually the counties, which end up keeping the excess cash.
"We try like anything to get in touch with people," Boniface said.
County paralegals research titles, the county sends letters to the addresses they can find, and the county posts the names of all the people and businesses who are owed money on the county website.
Hard to find
The Post and Courier tried to track down dozens of the people on those county lists, using journalistic resources and commercial people-finding services, calling relatives and in-laws in some cases, and was only able to track down two people, including Scott.
In most cases, the prior property owners had moved or died, numbers had been disconnected, trails had grown cold, businesses had been long-closed. In some cases the people may have wanted to vanish.
"His ex-wife would like to know where he is, too," the relative of one man owed money by the county told The Post and Courier. "He owes her child support."
Another man, informed by a reporter weeks ago that Charleston County is holding more than $110,000 in his son's name, never called back and has been unreachable since.
Georgia resident Theodora Backman was one of the lucky ones.
Related to the family that owns Backman's Seafood on James Island, Theodora Backman went to court and got the 2007 sale of her family land on Sol Legare Road reversed just a few months ago, as the county was about to keep $49,892 from the sale.
"They sold my property without me even knowing," she said. "I fought it, and I won."
But such outcomes are the exception.
As just one of many heirs, Sandra Scott can't stake a legal claim to the $7,273 in her late husband's name, and the outcome will likely be that none of the heirs get any of the money, and the county gets it all.
"I sure could use it, I'll tell you," Scott said.

Mrs. Elchert
Also preceding her in death were her parents; and two brothers, twin brother Cecil Boes and Clarence Boes.
Cecilia was a 60-year member of St. Boniface Catholic Church in New Riegel, was a member of its Altar Rosary Society and was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Tiffin the past eight years.
She attended a one-room country school in Springville and Carey, and as a young lady, she helped her father and brothers on a 245-acre farm between Arcadia and Findlay. After her marriage to George, she continued to farm, milking cows for more than 33 years and never missing a milking. She raised chickens, hogs and her favorite, lambs. She considered herself a farmer as she worked in the fields.
Her proudest accomplishment was cutting 80 acres of corn with a one-row binder and a team of horses. She planted a large garden for many years, canning and freezing her own fruits and vegetables for her family, and enjoyed entering and winning many awards for her canned goods and vegetable displays at local county fairs. She assisted her husband George for many years butchering for neighbors and friends around the New Riegel, Bascom and Tiffin area.
Cecilia was a member of McCutchenville Grange for more than 65 years, holding several offices during that time. She was a member of Allen Eiry Senior Center, where she had a great time playing euchre, and was a 4-H member as a young girl.
She enjoyed quilting and was known for her pies and especially for her potato salad, which was requested by many people in the area.
In addition to her farming and being a homemaker, she showed her true compassion and love for people as a caregiver for her father and brother-in-law. Her greatest enjoyment was being around people. She never met a stranger. Anyone who met her walked away with fond memories of a sweet and caring person.
Her Mass of Christian burial will be 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, with the Rev. Joseph Szybka officiating. Burial will follow in St. Boniface Cemetery, New Riegel. A rosary will be prayed 20 minutes prior to the Mass.
Friends may visit with the family 2-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012, at Hoffmann-Gottfried-Mack Funeral Home & Crematory, 236 S. Washington St., Tiffin, OH 44883, (419) 447-2424. A Christian wake service will begin at 1:30 p.m.
Memorial contributions may be made to Calvert Catholic Schools Tuition Assistance Fund, St. Joseph Catholic Church or All Saints Parish, New Riegel.
Condolences may be sent and the guest book signed at www.hgmackfuneralhome.com.

Paper Machine Grade Changes: Closed-Loop Control
Kuusisto, Risto
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2008-12-02
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;780
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Faculty of Automation, Mechanical and Materials Engineering
Department: Department of Automation Science and Engineering
This study handles problems and solutions related to the paper machine grade change. The perspective is in the qualitative study of mass-flow phenomena during manipulation of the variables that change the production rate either locally as a transient or more permanently. In many cases the grade changes are done using a method where the machine speed is left out from the manipulated variables. The weakness of this method is that almost all changes include basis weight change and when done at constant machine speed, it results in a production rate change even when the process would not allow this to occur. The phenomena related to the speed change through the drying section are simulated using ramp-like excitation signals for several variables. Some of the simulations cases are such that they can only be implemented in a simulation environment. Basic principles of the multivariable model predictive grade change control are introduced utilising target value trajectories for the controlled variables. Trajectory target values are based on mass-flow calculations while trajectory timing is based on simultaneous machine speed change timing. The problem related to the usage of mass-flows as measurement during the machine speed change in a delay-system is studied. A simple compensation in addition to trajectory timing changes is developed to solve the problem. Finally, the head-box flow change, a typical disturbance source in all paper machine grade changes, is analysed and a non-linear prediction based disturbance compensation method is proposed.

The music is familiar and now iconic: a dramatic orchestral romp, serving as the background to amazing images of professional football.
As the tympani bangs out the driving beat, slow-motion pictures fill the screen. A dramatic voice spins a compelling tale while snowflakes dance through the sky over a frozen tundra. Breath escapes from the grimacing faces of rugged, and yet elegant athletes. Confetti showers Super Bowl champions, while coaches are captured in candid moments of wit and wisdom; the most colorful characters of America's favorite sport are immortalized on film NFL Film.
This is just part of the legacy of Steve Sabol, president of NFL Films, and son of the founder of one of the most groundbreaking electronic media in sports.
This past weekend's NFL games featured tributes to the Sabols' work, while announcers pointed to the inspiration the films provided to aspiring broadcasters over many decades.
Television is a fairly young art form, which is constantly evolving. NFL Films took the game of football from scores and highlights to another level of emotion and art. Through masterfully-woven stories, told with inspired writing, exceptional pictures and sounds, captured through unprecedented access, NFL Films displayed the power and the humanity of the sport, and the men who play it, helping to propel football to a national obsession.
NFL Films is an example of some of the best in broadcast sports storytelling. It's so easy to get drawn in to the tales, which could make a regular-season game feel epic, and the Super Bowl feel like the end of the world. They could also capture the lighter side of the game and make you laugh out loud.
Considering the magnitude of today's entertainment industry, we owe NFL Films and creative geniuses like those who created it a debt of thanks. With hundreds of cable sports channels, and thousands of broadcast hours a week dedicated to sports, the impact of these pioneers is felt constantly, and has made sports coverage far more than scores and highlights, delving into the people behind the plays.
Shows like the old "ABC's Wide World of Sports" elicited similar emotion, from the "thrill of victory to the agony of defeat." While broadcasters like Howard Cosell, Jim McKay and Vin Scully brought larger-than-life athletes, accomplishments, controversy and drama into our living rooms every weekend.
It's the stories behind the highlights that put the competition into context and make us want to cheer. It's why the Olympics are filled with feature stories and background pieces - to make the events mean something to us. It's why we buy the newspaper the day after watching the game on television to read about the stories behind the scores.

|First Direct Evidence of Dirac Fermions in Graphite
The recent surge of interest in the electronic properties of graphene—that is, isolated layers of graphite just one atomic layer thick—has largely been driven by the discovery that electron mobility in graphene is ten times higher than in commercial-grade silicon, raising the possibility of high-efficiency, low-power, carbon-based electronics. Scientists attribute graphene's surprising current capacity (as well as a number of even stranger phenomena) to the presence of charge carriers that behave as if they are massless, "relativistic" quasiparticles called Dirac fermions. Harnessing these quasiparticles in real-world carbon-based devices, however, requires a deeper knowledge of their behavior under less-than-ideal circumstances, such as around defects, at edges, or in three dimensions—in other words, in graphite. At the ALS, a team of researchers using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) have now produced the first direct evidence of massless Dirac fermions in graphite coexisting with quasiparticles of finite effective mass and defect-induced localized states.
An electron moving through a conventional solid is often described as having a small but finite effective mass (m*) that takes into account the drag on its momentum from the surrounding crystal lattice as well as from interactions with other particles. The energy (E) of such an electron depends quadratically on its momentum (p), as given by the equation E = p2/2m*. In graphene, however, it has been discovered that electrons behave as if they are massless, "relativistic" particles (like photons traveling in free space at the speed of light) that exhibit a linear dispersion relationship given by the equation E = vk, where the wavenumber (k) represents momentum and the Fermi velocity (v) stands in for the speed of light. Because these electrons obey the Dirac equation—a description of fermions (e.g., electrons) that combines quantum mechanics with special relativity—they are called Dirac fermions.
Dirac fermions have been invoked recently to explain various peculiar phenomena in condensed-matter physics, including the novel quantum Hall effect in graphene, the magnetic-field-driven metal–insulator-like transition in graphite, superfluidity in 3He, and the exotic pseudogap phase of high-temperature superconductors. Despite their proposed key role in these highly interesting systems, direct experimental evidence of Dirac fermions has been limited. Furthermore, although several experiments have seemed to point to the existence of these relativistic particles in graphite, no direct observations have previously been reported.
At ALS Beamlines 12.0.1 and 7.0.1, researchers studied the nature of quasiparticles in single-crystal graphite by performing high-resolution ARPES experiments. ARPES is unique in that it allows us to directly probe electronic structure using both energy and mometum information not accessible through any other type of measurement. The results provide the first direct experimental proof that Dirac fermions indeed exist in the low-energy dynamics of graphite. ARPES intensity maps taken near corner H of the Brillouin zone (BZ) show the linear dispersion characteristic of Dirac fermions. Near BZ corner K, however, a parabolic dispersion indicates the coexistence of quasiparticles with finite effective mass, probably due to interactions between the different graphene layers.
The experiment also revealed the presence of defect-induced localized states in the proximity of zigzag edge structures, indicating that graphite's electronic structure is strongly affected by the network structure of sp2 carbon, as is the case for fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. This kind of information will be of fundamental importance if we eventually hope to engineer graphite down to the nanometer scale for possible use in electronic devices.
Graphite is a unique system in which three different types of excitations—massless Dirac fermions, quasiparticles with finite effective mass, and defect states—coexist. These special ingredients add an exotic flavor to the low-energy electron dynamics of this familiar yet surprising material that combines the realms of nonrelativistic condensed matter physics on the one hand and relativistic particle physics on the other.

InStyle is my favorite fashion magazine. Although the featured items are mostly out of my price range, it gives me a good guide on what how I can put pieces that I already own together differently to make them feel fresh and new in the upcoming season. The articles feature trends, but aren't so trendy that they're irrelevant in a week. There are also a lot of great beauty features included (skincare, makeup, hair care). This magazine is a must in our houseful of girls!

It is a great source for information for my blog on nails! Photography quality is high. I find inspiration here.
This is one fashion forward magazine which I have been reading for years. I love the promotions n the stuff they have in it. I spend a good one hour each month reading it n absorbing the good stuff. The articles I don't read till the end... I love this magazine for the styles n stuff they focus on... It's a must read for fashionasitas... It's fun to read magazines n u get the best deals on magazines.com. I love it n I love to read :)
This is the one magazine that I do not read all at once. I like to make it last all month long. Beautiful to look at and keep current with styles. Excellent articles about famous people.
This is a great magazine if you are interested in fashion, cosmetics, and jewelry. I look forward to its arrival.
I look forward to my InStyle every month!
My favorite fashion/ women's/ lifestyle magazine. The style advice for clothing, fashion, and makeup are helpful and accessible to the average woman. Featured clothing and items can be pricey but not Vogue-level impossible. It doesn't pretend to be super trendy or super high fashion or 'deeper'/ more women's issue-reporting than it is; nor is it a
InStyle is a fun monthly read, containing a great mix of luxury and affordable fashion.
This magazine gives you access to the latest fashions, products, and a real look at the lives of the celebrities who are using them. It is like going shopping with your new celebrity friends, and their stylists are invited too.

I love the attitude of the magazine, which is informative and encourages me in a down to earth way that I can be stylish regardless of my budget. It also encourages me that style is more than just fashion; it's a form of expressing who I am.
Each issue of InStyle starts with the section "What's Now," a fun round-up of what's new and exciting in the world of fashion. Then it's on to "The Look," and its unique take on what celebrities are wearing.
While InStyle does a great job of highlighting celebrity styles, it also focuses on trends that I can relate to in the section "Your Look." Each month a different piece of clothing is highlighted: Find your perfect jeans, shirtdress or loafers—the clothes change monthly, but the advice remains the same—focus on fit.
I also love InStyle's coverage of awards shows, especially the Oscars. The magazine always weighs in on who wowed the crowds or who missed the mark.
If you love fashion as much as I do, be sure to check out the great Instyle subscription deals at Magazines.com. Thanks and take care!

Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press file photo
NEW YORK � �Another piece of good news today,� tweeted the expectant mom, announcing to her online followers that she and her husband were awaiting a baby boy.
But this wasn�t just any excited mom-to-be. This was 37-year-old Marissa Mayer, the newly named CEO of Yahoo � obviously a huge achievement for anyone, but especially for a woman in the male-dominated tech industry. And she was about six months pregnant, to boot.
Exciting news � especially for Mayer and her husband, of course � but did it mean something for the rest of us, too? Was it a watershed moment in the perennial debate about whether women can �have it all,� with the pendulum swinging happily in the positive direction?
Or was it, as some claimed in the inevitable back-and-forth on Twitter, actually a development that would increase pressure on other working moms, who might not have nearly the resources that Mayer does, in terms of wealth, power, talent and flexibility on the job?
Or was it even sexist to raise the question at all? Would anyone be saying anything if the new Yahoo CEO were an expectant father? No, went a frequent online thread: No one would even pay attention to that.
What was clear was that Mayer�s situation as a pregnant CEO of a Fortune 500 company was not only rare, but probably unique. She becomes only the 20th current female CEO of a Fortune 500 company, according to Catalyst, an organization that tracks women in the workplace. Mayer herself, who left Google to take the new job, wasn�t speaking � tied up with her first-day responsibilities Tuesday at Yahoo, she declined interview requests, including one from The Associated Press. But on Monday, she told Fortune magazine that the Yahoo board �showed their evolved thinking� by hiring a pregnant chief executive, and that she planned to take only a few weeks maternity leave � during which she would work throughout.
�She will also, I am betting, not power through quite as single-mindedly on her maternity leave as she thinks she will,� wrote Lisa Belkin on her Huffington Post blog.
�Anyone can have it all,� said Julie Marrs, a sales administrator in Conroe, Texas, �but maybe not be as successful at everything as one hopes.� Marrs, a mother of two boys who works full-time, said she has learned the hard way that something always gets sacrificed.
�There are times that I am so mentally drained when I get home from work that I definitely do not spend the time I should with my kids,� she said in an email message. �Whether it be working on homework, reading books, playing a game or simply talking about their day. I try my best, but realize that to �have it all,� something will be sacrificed. It could be takeout four nights during the week instead of a hot, home-cooked meal. Or it could be hearing your child read their first story book.�
While most online chatter about Mayer was full of praise for both her and Yahoo and sometimes saying �You can have it all,� there were those who said Mayer was perhaps not the best example to prove such a thesis.
One of them was Anne-Marie Slaughter, whose online lament last month on the The Atlantic�s website � �Why Women Still Can�t Have it All� � unleashed a furious debate, showing that while the question might be a perennial one, it hasn�t lost any punch.
�Well, I think it�s fabulous news,� Slaughter said in a telephone interview of Mayer�s appointment, and her pregnancy. But, she suggested, Mayer�s situation � with her wealth, prominence and power � has little concrete relevance to the lives of ordinary women. (Mayer�s personal wealth has been estimated in the hundreds of millions, largely due to Google stock that she owns.)
�We all applaud her,� Slaughter said. �But she�s superhuman, rich, and in charge. She isn�t really a realistic role model for hundreds of thousands of women who are trying to figure out how you make it to the top AND have a family at the same time.�

Reliability issues of direct chip attachment using no-flow underfills

Direct chip attachment is becoming more popular when the demand for smaller consumer electronics is growing. In order to achieve high reliability, underfills are important for flip chip devices since the materials used in microelectonics packaging have such a large differences in coefficient of thermal expansion. Capillary flow underfilling is the leading underfilling technique today, but new techniques are being developed in order to minimize the amount of processing steps and to reduce the processing time. No-flow underfilling is relatively new technique, and it is still being developed. The use of no-flow underfills reduces processing steps and also shortens the processing time. When these underfills are developed and used, new issues need to be considered.In this thesis, the no-flow underfills are described, and the interconnection with no-flow underfills is studied. Two different no-flow underfills are used in this study, and the joining is done using a flip chip bonder as a pick and place machine and reflow oven to melt the solder and to cure the underfill. During these tests different alignment parameters are used, and the interconnection yield is studied. The results showed that the no-flow underfills still need to be developed, but when the interconnection yield is high, this technique is very promising. /Kir10

A letter in the May 8 Tomahawk Leader:
To The Editor:
Merrill is looking for "Seven Wonders" – seven wonders of the town and area. Well, we have one for you, and with all the other good suggestions you will receive, you just may want to add an "eighth" wonder to the list.
We nominate the Court System of Lincoln County. Yes, the Court System. Why? Because if you want to live a life of crime, or perhaps just dabble in it, you are safe here in Lincoln County.
You can make your own drugs and then decide to "counsel" other users on the depth of despair you can get yourself in. You would possibly get a tap on the wrist for that. You could knock over tombstones and be scolded. You could drive drunk and be stopped time after time and yet get a talking to. You could decide to take a nap while driving on Hwy. 17 and kill a young mother, and after five (yes, 5) long agonizing years, you could get a big fat traffic violation against your name.
Somehow, a life and a traffic violation do not seem to be on the same plain. Or is it? Keep in mind, this is Lincoln County. Maybe Plea Bargain County would be a little more appropriate from now on.
It's funny, you'd expect the assistant district attorney to be working for you – on the prosecution side of the law – and when he doesn't even as much as stand up and fight for you …. Well, here we are, back to that eighth wonder, the Court System of Lincoln County.
Want to get away with something? Come to Lincoln County where court-ordered mandates are not upheld, blood tests seem to disappear, friendships with the State Patrol and predecided judgments seem apparent, and the court turns a deaf ear to fact and preaches that "everyone – you, me and everyone else, have made mistakes"! That is true, but those mistakes have never caused a death.
I guess we did make a mistake in trusting Lincoln County.
Don and Barbara Dunst

LEWISTOWN - When people are going through a tough time in life, a pastor often is the first person they turn to.
That is why a local group has initiated a program to teach pastors about helping people who are dealing with substance abuse or mental health issues.
The Pastoral Recovery Education Program, or P.R.E.P., provides education, resources and networking opportunities to faith leaders the Mifflin County area.
"One of the many strengths and preventative factors in Mifflin County is the faith based community, so we started thinking why not help them get more involved in recovery efforts?" said Lisa Stalnaker, one of the program organizers.
Through a health conference about spiritual recovery, Stalnaker and Jill Pecht of Clear Concepts Counseling found a chance to initiate the local program.
With help from many local agencies and the Rev. Donald Peters, Stalnaker and Pecht applied for and received a Recovery Initiative grant.
The first P.R.E.P. training was held this spring. More meetings are scheduled through October, Pecht said.
"After that, ongoing interaction will continue between members of the faith-based community and those who are in recovery ..." Pecht said. "We just started a Facebook page and an email list that will help with continued communication."
The next meting will be held from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. June 26 at the Penns Valley Christian Retreat Center on Ferguson Valley Road. The topic will be alcohol and drug dependence and the impact on family members.
On Aug. 28 in collaboration with the Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs, P.R.E.P. will present "Understanding the Impact of Addiction for Clergy." The bureau oversees drug and alcohol treatment and prevention in the commonwealth.
This training is the first ever of its kind to be offered in Mifflin County, Stalnaker said. The bureau usually holds trainings like this in bigger cities, she said.
Connecting with pastors is important because they reach out to so many people in their communities, Pecht said.
"In the 17 years of working at CCC I have seen many avenues that people take in recovery. One of the more complete ways of staying in recovery or obtaining recovery is linking oneself to a faith-based program," Pecht said.
Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. will experience some mental or substance use disorder in their lifetime, according to the Behavioral Health Alliance of Rural Pennsylvania.
When these people seek treatment, they are more likely to contact a clergy member than a psychiatrist. But only about 13 percent of clergy have any substance abuse training, according to the alliance.
P.R.E.P. is something that the local faith-based community can turn to for education and resources about disorders, Stalnaker said.
Rev. Peters said ministers are seeing more and more people come to them for this kind of help.
"As a pastor facing the challenges of an ongoing and growing need in the community, pastors need to have a resource they can turn to in both understanding and education of the recovery process and journey ..." Peters said.
Participation in P.R.E.P. is free and open to everyone, including those who are in recovery. It is not limited to pastors. Registration is requested by calling Clear Concepts Counseling at 242-3070 or visiting the group on Facebook.
Agencies and individuals involved with organizing P.R.E.P. include Chris Wysocki from the Tri-County Mental Health/Mental Retardation, Wilda Fisher from Shelter Services Inc., Mike Hannon from the Tri-County Drug and Alcohol Commission, Nancy Records from Communities That Care, the Rev. Scott Sheffler and Bernie Zook.

Godard PIT - 10 games
Gillies NYI - 9 games (not enough in my mind)
Martin NYI - 4 games
NYI as a whole - $100,000 fine
There was some rampant craziness during this game but Martin's cheapshot was almost a mirror image of Bert's big mistake. Imagine being Bert and seeing this, just because the Pen didn't fall and essentially break his neck, Martin will live life like nothing happened while Bert is forever scarred by his situation.
Gillies is a tool. That showing was disgraceful at best.
