Hi Anthony,
What you are doing is wonderful!
I would also love to help with the tornado damage in Springfield MA, near where my daughter goes to school.
I LOVE that art behind you? Where can I get one?
I am really excited to work with people that like to help others, and with you as my leader. It is really sad to see all those people that had been lost with the tornado. I am here and I am ready to help.
Hey Anthony. I love the thing you and all your fans are doing for the tornado victims. I wanted so badly to do something myself. When Japan got hit by the earthquake and sunami I felt the same way. So much disaster and sadness happening in the world and right here in the U.S. Keep up the good work and god bless your efforts.
Anthony: U R the BEST. Cheers, Bart
Great to hear some really positive stuff form a change. Also, I may have a Human Interest Story for you (In the rough manuscript phase at the moment). Thx, Bart Drury
Bless all those in Joplin!
Great Job that you did and keep up the good work.
Dear Family in Joplin:
I can't even begin to imagine the devastation and loss you suffered through the terrifying experiences recently caused by the tornadoes.
Please know that we care and have been praying for you throughout the days and weeks that have followed.
Many of us jumped on board when Anthony was compelled to try to help and make a difference. Although nothing can wipe the experience from your memory or the great sense of loss from your souls, we hope to encourage and instill a bit of hope again.
You're in our thoughts and prayers,
Carol Amato
I hope for the families sake that this that we have done to help them is a blessing from all of us on the live community. I'm sure it will help them and I wish them all luck from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks Anthony for what you are doing. While you are gone to Joplin you will be in my prayers. I look up to you for all you do and the things you stand for. Ready to get over this hump that I have been on and looking forward to moving forward and making a difference in the lives of those I love. Thanks again. Sincerely, Karen
Although your life was forever disrupted in a few minutes and all the news media has left, know that number of helpers' are growing and will continue to help until the jobs are done.

Good Work – May God Bless you tenfold for your help
I just wanted to say. Anthony it is truly is a blessing what you are able to do this for these victims of the tornado's that swept everything they own off the map. there needs to be more people like this in the world willing to help. And it is awesome how you are able to get all of us here on your blog to be apart of that and allow us to help too. thank you for allowing us to help you help them by channeling/leveraging social media. I think being able to help tornado victims is a blessing and everyone should have done it that's apart of this blog. your always helping us its nice to be-able to help you for a change Anthony. My family's prayers are with these people that have been struck by this natural disaster.
Anthony, this is great. I can't wait to meet the family that we have helped.
It is always nice, no matter what, to see an altruistic business owner. I see so many people who are money mad. I believe that when I recieve goodness, I should pass it on. If I had a dollar or two, I would donate to this cause, but here's why I don't. I'm on disability, just getting started in Anthony's program, hoping to make life a little better for my family, and I just scrounged for my last dollar, so that the tooth fairy could leave something for my grand daughter's tooth. My grandson and granddaughter are here for the summer, their mom is having surgery. They live less than 50 miles from Joplin. So during this crisis, I prayed on my hands and knees that MY family be spared. The tornados hit 30 miles from MY home in Oklahoma, and 35 miles from my daughter's home in Springfield, MO. As I am able to pass along the good things, I promise, to all of you, and to God, that I will.
Thanks Anthony for inviting all of us to do this with you. I can't even think what they are going though. It's bad enough to loose your house, all your possessions, and jobs. Let along trying to replace them. Pictures of loved ones gone for ever is heart breaking. My prayers go out to those that have lost family. May God Bless you all and give you the courage and streingth to go one. Your family will come out of this even stronger than before. Because when God closes a door, he opens another for us all to help and share each other.
giving is an addiction that gives back instead of taking,the more you give the more you find to give.life seems to always take care of the people that has a giving hart.we just have to believe this separates us from the animals. so my hats off too ya tony. keep up the good work.i'm looking forward to working with you.
Untied we Stand, Divided we Fall
Thanks for taking the lead in doing good for a good cause.
You sure have a good project, Anthony. Plus such a good, warm, caring heart. Thankyou, so much.
my heart and prayers goes to Joplin families .God help them and give them the courage and strength to move on despite of the great losses of loved ones, homes and all other things that we cannot count. Lets all of us be quiet for one minute and pray to the god.
To the family in Joplin I can't begin to imagine what it is like for there…I guess something like my own experience of being without my home…and having to live in my car…but you may not even have that much !
I hope that what this network of people have managed to help you with, it
goes a long way…to begin to restore your lives. My name is Phil and I live in Utah….No I'm not mormon wishing you a brighter tomorrow.
God Bless
Way to go, Anthony, your altruism and charitable attitude are truly impressive!
Fabulous job Anthony. It makes us all feel good knowing we helped those in need.
Fred & Hyunsou
well in was nice so many peoples help out and god bless ever one you no i feel the same way god has brought me threw a lot and he will do the saying for all of you.
This is Great. So many in need.
I think it is great what you are doing for a family in Joplin.
Larry and Sandy
There are really some nice people out there pitching in where it counts! Kudos for everyone! BLESS YOU, Anthony for all that you have done!
God bless you and the people of Joplin!

Camille Grammer has been through the kind of hellish time that Adrienne Maloof is experiencing these days. But it's nothing a little time and a new man can't fix, Grammer says.
"She is staying strong. It's a very difficult time for her. A public divorce on a reality show – it was impossible for me, so I empathize with her," Grammer, 44, told PEOPLE Monday at TV Guide's annual Hot List Party in West Hollywood.
Maloof, 51, and Dr. Paul Nassif just reached a divorce settlement. And Grammer says she has been in touch with her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar to talk girlfriend to girlfriend.
"She'll get by. It just takes a while," says Grammer.
What's the secret to getting through it? New love – and lots of sex, she says.
"A man helps, you know," she says. "Sexual healing helps."
The more of it, the better, in fact. "At our age, I can't believe it," says Grammer, whose romance with Dimitri Charalambopoulos will be featured on the Bravo show. "It's like three times a day, and I am like, 'Oh my God.' It's a great workout. The first year it was three times a day. It was insane."
She adds: "Who doesn't love a great partner in bed? I mean, come on. Especially after a bad divorce."

Editor's note: This is the ninth in a series of articles highlighting local students and their accomplishments, in order to encourage young people to complete school and achieve their dreams.
ELKINS - Sometimes the path to success is not the easiest - but one student from Elkins chose the non-traditional path and is working very hard to obtain her goals. Brittany Hinchman dropped out of high school because she found she was bored with her classes and did not like going to school.
"Once I was out of school, it was not easy to find a job," Hinchman said. "Most, if not all, places would not hire me because I did not have a high school diploma. I was not sure what I would do."

Ekins resident Brittany Hinchman has completed her GED and is working toward her goal of attending Fairmont State University. Pictured with HInchman is her boyfriend, Anthony Arbogast, and their son, Hayden.
And Hinchman found out she was pregnant with her son, Hayden.
"My son is wonderful and I will encourage him to do anything and everything he wants to do," she said. "I will be his support system to help him succeed."
Hinchman said a friend told her about a program where she could earn her GED, gain work skills, earn money for college and gather help to set goals. She signed up in October and is now completing work through YouthBuild in Elkins.
"I started in YouthBuild because I needed to get myself straight for me and my son," Hinchman said. "So far I have completed my Ed to Go Program and have obtained a medical assistant certificate. I am volunteering at Davis Medical Center through the PATH program and help in registration."
She said she is an AmeriCorp Volunteer and is earning money for school.
"When I go to college, I hope to major in general business," Hinchman said. "I hope to work with children or in the medical field."
Hinchman passed her GED test just weeks before Hayden was born.
"It was not easy to be pregnant, working, studying and doing everything else I needed to do," Hinchman said. "It is still a challenge to work, study and take care of him but I am committed to the challenge.
Hinchman offers advice to those still in high school.
"High school is not easy," Hinchman said. "But no matter what your problems are, work through them, go to classes, do your best and do not quit high school."

Bills' Dareus benched during first quarter
BUFFALO -- The Buffalo Bills' defensive line dominated throughout Sunday's 19-0 win over the Miami Dolphins.
The defense allowed just 103 yards despite missing lineman Marcell Dareus in the first quarter. He was benched for the first quarter because of a violation of team rules.
"You suffer the consequences, roll along with them and do the best you can," Dareus said. "It feels like a win to me and we needed it bad. We pulled it out and I'm so excited. Coach (Doug Marrone) is excited. We respect each other, me and Marrone. We don't have any differences and I don't have anything against the team. Just things happen and you have to deal with it and move forward."
Dareus played the final three quarters, drawing numerous double teams and finishing with three tackles and one quarterback hurry.
- Buffalo running back Fred Jackson finished with 111 yards on 19 carries, giving him 5,067 career rushing yards. Jackson is the third Bills rusher in franchise history to reach 5,000 yards. The other two are Thurman Thomas (11,938 yards) and O.J. Simpson (10,183).
Jackson's nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter gives him 27 career rushing touchdowns, which is tied for fifth in Bills history with Travis Henry. Thomas (65 touchdowns), Simpson (57), Cookie Gilchrist (31) and Wray Carlton (29) are ahead of Jackson.
- Buffalo's defense, which was allowing 25.3 points per game, earned its first shutout since the Bills beat Washington 23-0 in Toronto on Oct. 30, 2011. It was also the first shutout at Ralph Wilson Stadium since Buffalo beat Miami 21-0 on Dec. 17, 2006.
- Buffalo had seven sacks and allowed just six first downs. The last time the Bills allowed six first downs in a game was in a 37-7 win over Cleveland on Dec. 12, 2004. Buffalo's 103 yards allowed is also the fewest since allowing 26 against Cleveland in 2004.
- Miami has allowed 58 sacks this season, a franchise record. The previous record was 53, set in 14 games during the 1969 season.
- Thad Lewis started at quarterback for Buffalo after EJ Manuel was ruled out early last week with a knee injury. Lewis, a Miami native, finished 15-of-25 for 193 yards and one interception. He went 2-0 against the Dolphins this season as Buffalo swept Miami in the regular season for the 12th time.
- Buffalo wide receiver Stevie Johnson missed the game to be with his family after the death of his mother. Marquise Goodwin injured his knee early in the game and Robert Woods was ejected after throwing a punch at a Miami player, leaving the Bills with very few options at wide receiver in the second half.
- Miami crossed the 50-yard line three times Sunday and punted 10 times in 13 possessions. The Dolphins turned the ball over on downs in one drive and had two others end with interceptions. Miami also had four drives end with negative yardage and two drives gain zero yards.
- Kyle Williams and Nickell Robey each had two of Buffalo's seven sacks, while Jerry Hughes, Mario Williams and Da'Norris Searcy each had one. Miami offensive tackle Tyson Clabo said it best when asked about the seven sacks.
"The ball got snapped, and then they all came and then sacked him," Clabo said. "I haven't seen the tape, obviously, so I don't know exactly whose guy came free or whose guy made the sack. I can't say. I wish I knew."
Mario Williams leads the Bills with 13 sacks, while Kyle Williams has 10.5 and Hughes has 10.
- Buffalo had allowed an average of 149 rushing yards per game over the past five games coming into Sunday. Miami ran for 14 yards on 12 carries.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Feb. 21, 2013
A new student emergency fund will enable Saint Vincent College to respond quickly with financial support when students encounter unforeseen emergencies. Initiated by a trio of students with the encouragement of Fr. Killian Loch, O.S.B., director of the Office of Campus Ministry and Mary Collins, vice president for student affairs, the fund is designed to be ready to immediately respond like a family member or close friend when students are faced with serious and unexpected life challenges. Each of the three students – Sarah Sebrosky, Samantha Pashel and Ryan Coyne – have had personal experiences where they wanted to respond to a fellow student in serious need. "I had a friend who was involved in an accident and was faced with the decision of continuing with classes or paying her medical bills," Sebrosky said. "It was the first time that something like that happened. I have been aware of several students who had something happen to them that was completely beyond their control and were in need of financial help to stay out of debt and make their lives work. Growing up, I was always taught that if you saw something you didn't like you should try to change it." Sebrosky decided to enlist the help of some friends with similar experiences and made a proposal to the Saint Vincent administration. "Fr. Killian and Mary Collins welcomed the project since they were both aware of these emergency needs," she added. "We are getting started with some donations that have been made to campus ministry and some funds raised by students for other projects but plan to do some specific fund raising this spring among the students, their parents and alumni. A phonathon staffed by student callers is being planned for Monday, March 18." When the students or administration become aware of a student who needs assistance, the administrators will meet quickly to evaluate the request and make a recommendation to the student advisors who will make the final decision. The requests for funds and disbursement will be kept completely confidential. "Students might be embarrassed to ask for assistance so everything about the process will be kept private, including the name of the student," Sebrosky noted. Pashel, a friend of Sebrosky, had a mutual friend who was in an accident and wanted to do all she could to help. "Our friend needed help quickly and we wanted to find a way for the campus to help her," Pashel said. "It helps our campus show that we are more than a campus, we are a family which is here if you need help." Coyne was invited to join the group since it was felt that a student prefect would be a good fit. "This is important because emergencies come up, accidents happen," Coyne said. "They aren't always big ticket items but for some people it could be $200 needed for a plane ticket to get home in a family emergency or a car repair. Emergencies are stressful times. We want to be there for financial support." Fr. Killian welcomes the student initiative since there were several times last year when he became aware of students in emergency situations. "In the midst of the emergency, someone would come to me and say, can we help them or can the school help them? The college is able to help in numerous ways but we are not set up to provide cash for an immediate emergency. When Sarah and Samantha came to me, it was a situation where a student had medical bills and insurance funds had already been depleted. What we hope to do is to raise some funds so that we have money available when something comes up. We would like to have a fund of about $3,000 available." The effort is appropriate to Saint Vincent College's Benedictine mission. "It's part of our heritage," Fr. Killian explained. "Various aspects of the Rule of Saint Benedict instruct us to receive all guests as Christ himself. While students are part of the college community, they are also our guests and we have a responsibility for caring for them, making sure they are taken care of. We are instructed in the Gospel to recognize those around us who are in need and reach out to them." The fund raising initiative will take place during the pre-Easter Lenten season. "This is a time of sacrifice," Fr. Killian explained, "We are called to pray, fast and give alms. All of those really involve sacrifice if we are going to be doing a little more than we normally do. Instead of giving alms, we are asking people to consider giving to this particular fund that will help students at Saint Vincent." Sebrosky, a senior majoring in computing and information science with minors in mathematics and studio art, is active in campus ministry and is on the campus ministry advisory council. She also is active in the Saint Vincent Basilica Parish where she works with the youth group and Sunday school and serves as one of the catechists. A tutor for the department of computing and information science, she is also a member of the art club. Daughter of Joe and Cathleen Sebrosky of Hagerstown, Maryland, she is a member of St. Ann's Parish there. Pashel, a junior majoring in early childhood education, is active in the early childhood education club, the service corps for students with exceptionalities, best buddies, campus ministry and its advisory council. Formerly active with the Girl Scouts, she received a gold award for a project in which she asked for donations of toys that helped with sensory play and stimulation for autistic children. Daughter of Charles and Melissa Pashel of South Side (Pittsburgh), she is a member of St. John Vianney Parish in Allentown. Coyne, a junior theology and philosophy major with a minor in politics, is active in the SWAG service team, campus ministry lector, respect life club, Knights of Columbus and the Oblate program. He also participated in a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Son of Rick and Angie Coyne of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, he is a member of St. Joan of Arc Parish there. He has participated in several mission trips to Nicaragua and Rome and plans to go to Calcutta and Brazil this summer. Persons wishing to make a donation to the Saint Vincent College Student Emergency Fund can make a check payable to the fund and mail to the Office of Institutional Advancement, Saint Vincent College, 300 Fraser Purchase Road, Latrobe, PA 15650-2690. Donations can also be made online at www.stvincent.edu.-

Photos: Indiana Football Getting More New Helmets?
February 3rd, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Evidently, that glut of new helmets that Indiana's football team got before the 2013 season was just the start of an ongoing trend in Bloomington.
On Sunday, former Hoosiers receiver Cody Lattimer (an early entrant in the 2014 NFL Draft) posted two separate photos to Instagram, each consisting of four different helmets that IU could be sporting in 2014. Only one impresses us: A matte crimson lid with a black interlocking "IU" logo on the sides, black facemask and a thick black stripe going down the middle.
The rest, quite frankly, look terrible. If the Hoosiers want to become the Midwest version of Oregon when it comes to football helmets, they're going to have to shape up big time.

Tuning ab initio data to scattering length: The state of KRb127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2790004View Description Hide Description
Interaction energies for the lowest triplet state of KRb are calculated using high level ab initio methods. The interaction energies are then morphed so that the resulting potential energy curve yields 32 bound states and the correct scattering length for . Calculated vibrational spacings are shown to be in very good agreement with the available experimental Fourier transform and photoassociation vibrational data, but a different numbering scheme has to be used for the experimental vibrational assignment.
The effect of self-assembled monolayers on polarization-dependent two-photon photoemission and on the angular distribution of the photoelectrons127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2789413View Description Hide Description
The effect of a self-assembled organized organic monolayer on the two-photon photoemission from semiconductor substrates was investigated. It has been found that the monolayer affects the relative yield of photoelectrons emitted by -polarized versus -polarized light. In addition, the monolayer affects the angular distribution of the ejected electrons. The effect on the photoelectron yield is attributed to the monolayer "smoothing" the electronic potential on the surface by eliminating surface states and dangling bonds. The effect on the angular distribution is attributed to a post-ejection interaction between the photoelectrons and the adsorbed molecules.

Generator coordinate method in time-dependent density-functional theory: Memory made simple127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2768368View Description Hide Description
The generator coordinate (GC) method is a variational approach to the quantum many-body problem in which interacting many-body wave functions are constructed as superpositions of (generally nonorthogonal) eigenstates of auxiliary Hamiltonians containing a deformation parameter. This paper presents a time-dependent extension of the GC method as a new approach to improve existing approximations of the exchange-correlation (XC) potential in time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). The time-dependent GC method is shown to be a conceptually and computationally simple tool to build memory effects into any existing adiabatic XC potential. As an illustration, the method is applied to driven parametric oscillations of two interacting electrons in a harmonic potential (Hooke's atom). It is demonstrated that a proper choice of time-dependent generator coordinates in conjunction with the adiabatic local-density approximation reproduces the exact linear and nonlinear two-electron dynamics quite accurately, including features associated with double excitations that cannot be captured by TDDFT in the adiabatic approximation.
Design-atom approach for the quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical covalent boundary: A design-carbon atom with five valence electrons127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2774980View Description Hide Description
A critical issue underlying the accuracy and applicability of the combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods is how to describe the QM/MM boundary across covalent bonds. Inspired by the ab initio pseudopotential theory, here we introduce a novel design atom approach for a more fundamental and transparent treatment of this QM/MM covalent boundary problem. The main idea is to replace the boundary atom of the active part with a design atom, which has a different number of valence electrons but very similar atomic properties. By modifying the Troullier-Martins scheme, which has been widely employed to construct norm-conserving pseudopotentials for density functional calculations, we have successfully developed a design-carbon atom with five valence electrons. Tests on a series of molecules yield very good structural and energetic results and indicate its transferability in describing a variety of chemical bonds, including double and triple bonds.
Orbital currents in the Colle-Salvetti correlation energy functional and the degeneracy problem127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2777140View Description Hide Description
Popular density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy typically fail to reproduce the degeneracy of different ground states of open-shell atoms. As a remedy, functionals which explicitly depend on the current density have been suggested. We present an analysis of this problem by investigating functionals that explicitly depend on the Kohn-Sham orbitals. Going beyond the exact-exchange approximation by adding correlation in the form of the Colle-Salvetti functional, we show how current-dependent terms enter the Colle-Salvetti expression and their relevance is evaluated. A very good description of the degeneracy of ground states for atoms of the first and second rows of the Periodic Table is obtained.
Modified Morse potential for unification of the pair interactions127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2777148View Description Hide Description
We designed a novel model potential that unifies the pair interactions including the well known Morse and Lennard-Jones potentials. Using two parameters, the interactions at the minimum, short range, and long range of the new model potential can be controlled separately, so the potential is very flexible to fit various systems. It is found that for potentials with similar range with the Lennard-Jones potential at the minimum, due to the difference at the short and long ranges, the favorite structures can be very different, and some previously unknown magic numbers are located.
Gaussian-4 theory using reduced order perturbation theory127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2770701View Description Hide Description
Two modifications of Gaussian-4 (G4) theory [L. A. Curtiss et al., J. Chem. Phys.126, 084108 (2007)] are presented in which second- and third-order perturbation theories are used in place of fourth-order perturbation theory. These two new methods are referred to as G4(MP2) and G4(MP3), respectively. Both methods have been assessed on the G3/05 test set of accurate experimental data. The average absolute deviation from experiment for the 454 energies in this test set is for G4(MP2) theory and for G4(MP3) theory compared to for G4 theory. G4(MP2) is slightly more accurate for enthalpies of formation than G4(MP3) (0.99 versus ), while G4(MP3) is more accurate for ionization potentials and electron affinities. Overall, the G4(MP2) method provides an accurate and economical method for thermochemical predictions. It has an overall accuracy for the G3/05 test set that is much better than G3(MP2) theory (1.04 versus ) and even better than G3 theory (1.04 versus ). In addition, G4(MP2) does better for challenging hypervalent systems such as and for nonhydrogen species than G3(MP2) theory.
Analyzing molecular properties calculated with two-component relativistic methods using spin-free natural bond orbitals: NMR spin-spin coupling constants127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2768363View Description Hide Description
An analysis method for static linear response properties employing two-component (spin-orbit) relativistic density functional theory along with scalar relativistic "natural localized molecular orbitals" (NLMOs) and "natural bond orbitals" (NBOs) has been developed. The spin-orbit NLMO/NBO analysis has been applied to study the indirect spin-spin coupling (-coupling) constants in Tl–I, , and a dinuclear Pt–Tl bonded complex with a very large Pt–Tl coupling constant (expt.: ). For Tl–I it is shown that the analysis scheme based on scalar relativistic NLMOs is applicable even if spin-orbit coupling is responsible for most of the coupling's magnitude. For it is shown that electron delocalization plays a much larger role for the Pb–H coupling than it is the case for the C–H coupling in methane. For the Pt–Tl complex the analysis clearly demonstrates the strong influence of the ligands on the Pt–Tl coupling constant and quantifies the effect of the delocalization of the Pt–Tl bond on the Pt–Tl coupling constant.
Quantum dynamics in macrosystems with several coupled electronic states: Hierarchy of effective Hamiltonians127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2778682View Description Hide Description
We address the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics of macrosystems with several coupled electronic states, taking into account the possibility of multistate conical intersections. The general situation of an arbitrary number of states and arbitrary number of nuclear degrees of freedom (modes) is considered. The macrosystem is decomposed into a system part carrying a few, strongly coupled modes and an environment, comprising the vast number of remaining modes. By successively transforming the modes of the environment, a hierarchy of effective Hamiltonians for the environment is constructed. Each effective Hamiltonian depends on a reduced number of effective modes, which carry cumulative effects. By considering the system's Hamiltonian along with a few members of the hierarchy, it is shown mathematically by a moment analysis that the quantum dynamics of the entire macrosystem can be numerically exactly computed on a given time scale. The time scale wanted defines the number of effective Hamiltonians to be included. The contribution of the environment to the quantum dynamics of the macrosystem translates into a sequential coupling of effective modes. The wave function of the macrosystem is known in the full space of modes, allowing for the evaluation of observables such as the time-dependent individual excitation along modes of interest as well as spectra and electronic-population dynamics.
A unified density-functional treatment of dynamical, nondynamical, and dispersion correlations127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2768530View Description Hide Description
In previous work we have introduced exact-exchange-based density-functional models of dynamical, nondynamical, and dispersion correlations. We have not yet, however, been able to combine these models into a single energy functional. The problem is that interaction curves in van der Waals complexes are too repulsive. A simple solution is proposed in the present work resulting in an exact-exchange-based energy functional for all chemical interactions, from the weakest (dispersion) to the strongest (molecular bonds).
Trotter derivation of algorithms for Brownian and dissipative particle dynamics127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2764481View Description Hide Description
This paper focuses on the temporal discretization of the Langevin dynamics, and on different resulting numerical integration schemes. Using a method based on the exponentiation of time dependent operators, we carefully derive a numerical scheme for the Langevin dynamics, which we found equivalent to the proposal of Ermak and Buckholtz [J. Comput. Phys.35, 169 (1980)] and not simply to the stochastic version of the velocity-Verlet algorithm. However, we checked on numerical simulations that both algorithms give similar results, and share the same "weak order two" accuracy. We then apply the same strategy to derive and test two numerical schemes for the dissipative particle dynamics. The first one of them was found to compare well, in terms of speed and accuracy, with the best currently available algorithms.
Behavior of density functionals with respect to basis set. VI. Truncation of the correlation consistent basis sets127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2768602View Description Hide Description
Systematic truncation of the correlation consistent basis sets has been investigated in first and second row atoms and molecules to better understand basis set requirements for density functional theory, particularly the need for high angular momentum functions, as well as to understand possible computational cost savings that could be achieved by using reduced basis sets. The truncation scheme employed follows that recently introduced for ab initio methods [B. Mintz et al., J. Chem. Phys.121, 5629 (2004)]. Properties examined in the current study include geometries, ionization potentials,electron affinities, and dissociation energies. In general, this investigation shows that a degree of truncation of higher angular momentum functions is possible with limited impact upon energetic properties, and does result in useful CPU time savings. However, not all properties investigated have the same level of dependence upon high angular momentum functions, and, thus, careful selection of truncated basis sets should be made.

Dianions of 7,7,8,8-tetracyano--quinodimethane and perfluorinated tetracyanoquinodimethane: Information on excited states from lifetime measurements in an electrostatic storage ring and optical absorption spectroscopy127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2771177View Description Hide Description
We have developed an experimental technique that allows us to study the physics of short lived molecular dianions in the gas phase. It is based on the formation of monoanions via electrospray ionization, acceleration of these ions to keV energies, and subsequent electron capture in a sodium vapor cell. The dianions are stored in an electrostatic ion storage ring in which they circulate with revolution times on the order of . This enables lifetime studies in a time regime covering five orders of magnitude, . We have produced dianions of 7,7,8,8-tetracyano--quinodimethane and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyano--quinodimethane and measured their lifetimes with respect to electron autodetachment. Our data indicate that most of the dianions were initially formed in electronically excited states in the electron transfer process. Two levels of excitation were identified by spectroscopy on the dianion of , and the absorptionspectrum was compared with spectra obtained from spectroelectrochemistry of in acetonitrile solution.
Permanent electric dipole moment of molybdenum carbide127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2778427View Description Hide Description
High resolution optical spectroscopy has been used to study a molecular beam of molybdenum monocarbide (MoC). The Stark effect of the and branch features of the band system of were analyzed to determine the permanent electric dipole moments of 2.68(2) and for the and states, respectively. The dipole moments are compared with the experimental value for ruthenium monocarbide [T. C. Steimle et al., J. Chem. Phys.118, 2620 (2003)] and with theoretical predictions. A molecular orbital correlation diagram is used to interpret the observed and predicted trends of ground state values for the -metal monocarbides series.
Pair potential for helium from symmetry-adapted perturbation theory calculations and from supermolecular data127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2770721View Description Hide Description
Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) was applied to the helium dimer for interatomic separations from . The first-order interaction energy and the bulk of the second-order contribution were obtained using Gaussian geminal basis sets and are converged to about near the minimum and for larger . The remaining second-order contributions available in the SAPT suite of codes were computed using very large orbital basis sets, up to septuple-zeta quality, augmented by diffuse and midbond functions. The accuracy reached at this level was better than in the same region. All the remaining components of the interaction energy were computed using the full configuration interaction method in bases up to sextuple-zeta quality. The latter components, although contributing only 1% near the minimum, have the largest uncertainty of about in this region. The total interaction energy at is . For , the supermolecular (SM) interaction energies computed by us recently turned out to be slightly more accurate. Therefore, we have combined the SM results for with the SAPT results from to fit analytic functions for the potential and for its error bars. The potential fit uses the best available van der Waals constants through , including , , and , and is believed to be the best current representation of the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) potential for helium. Using these fits, we found that the BO potential for the helium dimer exhibits the well depth , the equilibrium distance , and supports one bound state for with the dissociation energy, and the average interatomic separation .
Proton formation in resonance enhanced multiphoton excitation of HCl and HBr via Rydberg and ion-pair states127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2767259View Description Hide Description
Molecular beam cooled HCl was state selected by two-photon excitation of the , , and states through either the or lines of the respective transition. Similarly, HBr was excited to the [, ], , and states through the or lines. Following absorption of a third photon,protons were formed by three different mechanisms and detected using velocity map imaging. (1) was formed in coincidence with halogen atoms and subsequently ionized. For HCl, photodissociation into was dominant over the formation of and was attributed to parallel excitation of the repulsive superexcited states. For HBr, the ratio decreases with increasing excitation energy. This indicates that both the and the superexcited states contribute to the formation of . (2) For selected intermediate states HCl was found to dissociate into the ion pair with over 20% relative yield. A mechanism is proposed by which a bound superexcited state acts as a gateway state to dissociation into the ion pair. (3) For all intermediate states, protons were formed by dissociation of following a parallel, , excitation. The quantum yield for the dissociation process was obtained using previously reported photoionization efficiency data and was found to peak at for HCl and for HBr. This is consistent with excitation of the repulsive and states of , and the state of . Rotational alignment of the intermediate states is evident from the angular distribution of the excited photofragments. This effect has been observed previously and was used here to verify the reliability of the measured spatial anisotropy parameters.
Probing coherence aspects of adiabatic quantum computation and control127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2768954View Description Hide Description
Quantum interference between multiple excitation pathways can be used to cancel the couplings to the unwanted, nonradiative channels resulting in robustly controlling decoherence through adiabatic coherent control approaches. We propose a useful quantification of the two-level character in a multilevel system by considering the evolution of the coherent character in the quantum system as represented by the off-diagonal density matrix elements, which switches from real to imaginary as the excitation process changes from being resonant to completely adiabatic. Such counterintuitive results can be explained in terms of continuous population exchange in comparison to no population exchange under the adiabatic condition.
Dissociation energy of the water dimer from quantum Monte Carlo calculations127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2770711View Description Hide Description
We report a study of the electronic dissociation energy of the water dimer using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. We have performed variational quantum Monte Carlo and diffusionquantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations of the electronic ground state of the water monomer and dimer using all-electron and pseudopotential approaches. We have used Slater-Jastrow trial wave functions with B3LYP type single-particle orbitals, into which we have incorporated backflow correlations. When backflow correlations are introduced, the total energy of the water monomer decreases by about , yielding a DMC energy of , which is only above the experimental value. In our pseudopotential DMC calculations, we have compared the total energies of the water monomer and dimer obtained using the locality approximation with those from the variational scheme recently proposed by Casula [Phys. Rev. B74, 161102–R (2006)]. The time step errors in the Casula scheme are larger, and the extrapolation of the energy to zero time step always lies above the result obtained with the locality approximation. However, the errors cancel when energy differences are taken, yielding electronic dissociation energies within error bars of each other. The dissociation energies obtained in our various all-electron and pseudopotential calculations range between 5.03(7) and and are in good agreement with experiment. Our calculations give monomerdipole moments which range between 1.897(2) and and dimer dipole moments which range between 2.628(6) and .
Structure and properties of the low-lying electronic states of and127(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2770698View Description Hide Description
Theoretical studies on the electronic and thermodynamic properties of several electronic states of and have been carried out employing state-of-the-art single- and multireference techniques. The ground and the low-lying electronic states of these two species have been found to possess triangular structures. A state has been found to be the ground state of while for is the ground state. The computed electron ionization energy is in excellent agreement with experiment. The experimentally observed thermodynamic properties(dissociation and atomization energies) of reactions involving dissociation are corrected using the computed gas-phase properties of the molecule and the partition functions. The bent triplet and singlet state of exhibit large dipole moments and it is consistent with the ionic character (through dative charge transfer) of the cluster in ground and excited states.

Ethiopia - Addis Ababa World's 6th Dirtiest City - Forbes
Ethiopia's capital and Africa's diplomatic capital has been ranked as the World's 6th dirtiest city by Forbes magazine. The magazine said the city faces one of the worst sanitation problems in Africa and the world. Forbes also added that the lack of adequate sanitation programs results in infant mortality and low life expectancy.
The World's dirtiest city designation goes to Baku, Azerbaijan followed by Dhaka Bangladesh, Antanananvo Madagascar, Port au Price Haiti, Mexico City Mexico and Africa's diplomatic capital and Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.
All cities are positioned against New York, the base city with an index score of 100. For the Health and Sanitation Rankings, the index scores range from the worst on the list--Baku, Azerbaijan, with a score of 27.6--to the best on the list--Calgary, Canada, with a score of 131.7.
The data is based on Mercer Human Resource Consulting's 2007 Health and Sanitation Rankings. As part of their 2007 Quality of Life Report, they ranked 215 cities worldwide based on levels of air pollution, waste management, water potability, hospital services, medical supplies and the presence of infectious disease.
Addis Ababa is the largest city and capital of Ethiopia, it has an estimated population of 4 million people and the city was founded in 1886 by Emperor Menelik II.

Time to clean up the garbege and the EPDRF party bussy hijacking economy!
Hey Sami, did you know what Addis looked like prior to 1991? I believe the only dirt that has been part of the permanent scene in Addis is the presence of the CUD cruds and their street thug supporters. If we can sweep these hooligans out of town, we will be well on our way of building one of the most pristine cities in the world.
I will Admit!! Don't look at Bole and the likes … Merkato and Piassa even are as dirty as you can imagine. I love my country, and want to work with whomever has to clean it up and bring us up in the ladder in the next "Assessment" by Forbes.
Ethiopia Lover
what you are going to do about it ? This african capital is the world dirtiest city. What a shame for Ethiopian government!!
I hope Al-Moudi is going to do something about it.
Yes Sami,
The biggest garbage is the cage men Woyane.
These lazy cage men talk too much garbage without substance.
They are treating the country as if they are living under TPLF cage.
We have a lot of garbage to clean up.
Enante kinjitochina EPRDFs abezachihut, egna huletachihunim yemanfeligew yet enhid. We want the best of Ethiopia. Where can we learn anything from the web about developments worth reading on the net. When the government does something, then the EPRDFites brag about it like hell, and when the news has it that the city is in problem then opposition will let a string of obscenities.
We just want to examine the issue and want to talk about the issues not stupid talk about other parties.
I can't wait to make it more DIRTIER by urinating under a fence with the sign above it saying 'Those who urinate here are only dogs!' HAHAHAHAH, just kidding!There were times when Healthy Officers hired by the city to apprehend and fine $5 those who urinate and deficate on the street.The problem was that there were no enough Honey Buckets 'Shint Bet" around to implement. It was tough.If you are not ashamed of yourself you can drop down your pants anywhere any time and smell the AROMA next time when you walk by.The truth is, its the dweller's responsibility, mostly. Hold it and let it go at the right place.Is it a political issue??
This is shame,really shame.Shame to Weyane,its really unacceptable this one and its,bull Shit,what hell they did the money they received from Japan,of course it was a donation,and I clearly remember this one.A few years ago,the Woyane received a huge amount of dollars(millions)from Tokyo,Japan just to fix the cities sewage system and still dirty same shit sewer problem.Its amazing!
Addis population explodes since the early 1991. Almost all Ethiopian from all corner emigrate to Addis in several reasons… Because of all the reason I am going to list and additional reasons Addis over populated. The city progress couldn't catch up with the population grow….
1. Peasant: can't feed them and their only hope is come to Addis work as a day laborer or become a beggar on the street of Addis.
2. X-Derg military: right after the TPLF took power so many of the Derg military move to Addis, TPLF shut down major government business (such as Baher Tranizet) and fired the employees without any compensation… this people from all direction moved to Addis some ended up living without no income
3. Ethiopian deported from Eritrea: right after EPLF took over power deport all Ethiopian citizen to their homeland… most of them become homeless and live in the street of Addis.
4. Draught: the people who left their home because of the draught ended up living in the street of Addis
5. War: people are displaced because of ethnic tension, war between the government and the LF's and Eritrea…
However no matter what people said, my love to Addis is stronger than anything else.
For someone who is not aware of the government's propaganda, it is easy to believe that Woyane is turning the country into a magically beautiful, clean, developing by day place.
Instead of talking too much about the foreign investment, building high rising buildings, laying roads and bridges limitless and false propaganda why wouldn't EPRDF zombies wake up and provide the very basic thing such as:
Building restrooms for pedestrians
Hire more employees to provide sanitary conditions and social services
Put in place services to clean garages periodically
Provide housing for the homeless
Build place to feed the poor
dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty eprdf efprd eprdf eprdf eprdf
Most cities that are ranked among the cleanest were the dirtiest cities a few decades ago. Our beautiful Addis is the 6th in the rank so what. Like all this other cities, Addis will also be the cleanest very soon. It is not like nothing is being done about it. It is a matter of time and hard work. Our beautiful city, Addis will flourish like a flower soon. By the way, the safest, the most welcoming and warmest Capital city in the world is ADDIS ABABA! for that i chose Alemayehu Eshetes' Addis Abeba song for all of you Ethiopian lovers.

A Potter County jury late Wednesday acquitted an Amarillo man of two counts of sexual assault of a child.
According to court records released Thursday, the jury deliberated for more than two hours before it found Derek Lee Thomas, 24, not guilty of sexually assaulting a child twice in May 2008.
However, after the verdict was announced, officials arrested him on a new charge of sexual assault on a different victim, the 47th District Attorney's Office.
In a statement, District Attorney Randall Sims said Thomas' new arrest was planned following the trial regardless of the outcome.

Saudi Women To Receive Right To Vote — In 2015
Businesswoman Nadia Bakhurji has wanted to run for public office in her native Saudi Arabia since 2004, when the country announced it would hold its first municipal elections in 40 years. But she was forced to withdraw her name when the government banned women from running for office — or voting. Melissa Block speaks with Bakhurji for her reactions to the Saudi king's statements over the weekend, vowing to extend women's suffrage.

I've been crafting since I was a young teenager, but began sewing seriously just after my second child was born in 2011. I really began to find my niche and make things that were visually appealing and modern. I started making clothing for my girls and then decided to branch out to quilts that they could enjoy for many years. I fell in love. I also create other unique, one of a kind gifts as well.

What is in this article?:
- Pay attention to the price of fertilizer.
- Consider application rate and method.
- Sampling to depth is a good idea.
Deep sampling
McFarland said a better approach for nitrogen management is to identify what's available before applying nutrients. Nitrogen carryover from one year to the next may be more significant and more useful than some farmers might think.
"Nitrogen is soluble, so it moves below the typical 6-inch sampling depth. Much of that nitrogen below 6 inches is still plant-available."
As nitrogen prices have risen in the past few years, interest in residual nitrogen has increased. McFarland recommends farmers look at nitrogen carryover just before planting. "Sample to depth," he says. Sampling should include the typical 6-inch depth for a routine nutrient analysis. But producers also should collect a second sample from 6 to 12, 6 to 18, or 6 to 24 inches. Significant amounts of nitrogen likely will be present in the deeper sample and can be credited to reduce to fertilizer nitrogen needs for the next crop.
"Deeper sampling requires good soil moisture conditions, but with a little extra effort a hand probe can go that far," McFarland said.
Much of that residual nitrogen will be available to corn, grain sorghum or cotton. Tests across Texas have shown that crediting residual nitrogen measured to 24 inches as part of the annual fertilizer requirement produces yields equal to adding the full amount based solely on yield goal.
Multiple tests have indicated that many samples to depth included a minimum of 40 pounds of nitrogen, available to the plant, per acre. "There is economy to be gained in using that nitrogen," he added.
Cotton will respond to residual nitrogen, as shown by tests on more than 100 sites across Texas. "Consistently, we could achieve maximum yields with little, if any, supplemental nitrogen. We did a lot of early work on cotton with funding from Cotton Incorporated. Over the last few years, we've also tested corn and grain sorghum. Preliminary data show very similar results."
When residual nitrogen measured in soil samples taken to 6, 12, or 24 inches was deducted from the fertilizer application, corn and grain sorghum produced as much yield as a full rate of nitrogen based on the yield goal.

It's never too early for a mock draft, and with events like the Nike LeBron James Skills Academy and Adidas Nations all wrapped up, we actually have a better sense of who might be poised for breakout seasons.
The 2015 class isn't as strong at the top or deep at the bottom as 2014's, but the lottery is likely to be dominated by one-and-done freshmen and international projects.
To avoid irrelevant debate, the draft order reflects last season's final regular-season standings. The Milwaukee Bucks finished with the worst record in 2013-14, so they get the first pick in the 2014-15 mock draft.
And any trades that have been made in the past involving 2015 draft picks were taken into account.

CLEVELAND -- At one point in the first half, Detroit Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince looked up and saw the Pistons shooting better than 50 percent from the field. He glanced at the Cavaliers' shooting, and they were just a hair below 60 percent from the floor.
"We can't be pleased about that situation," Prince said.
Detroit's improved offense didn't make for a better performance against Cleveland, which took advantage of Detroit's shoddy play defensively in cruising to a 102-84 Game 1 win.
For the game, Cleveland hit 37-of-70 from the field, for 52.8 percent shooting. Detroit was 36-of-78 for 46 percent.
Game 2 of the best-of-seven series will be Tuesday in Cleveland.
Pistons guard Richard Hamilton was asked about whether Detroit shooting a respectable 46.2 percent for the game was a good sign.
"Not at all," Hamilton said. "When you shoot 46 percent and you still lose by almost 20, you can't hang your hat on that because there have been times this year where we shot the ball well and still lost."
So as they look at ways to put up a better showing in Game 2, improved play defensively will be at the top of the list.
Detroit's defense was ineffective against LeBron James, who had 12 first-quarter points with many coming on dunks and layups.
"Anytime you allow that, a guy that's going to touch the ball that much and that is that good of a player, you are going to put yourself in a position that they can have a big night," Pistons coach Michael Curry said.
James hurt Detroit, but he wasn't the only one making shots.
Former Piston Joe Smith had 13 points off the Cavs' bench, and guard Delonte West had a efficient 12-point, five-rebound, five-assist game.
"Defensive is the key for us," Pistons forward Antonio McDyess said. "Offense was fine, we were sharing the ball and not making turnovers. But, defensively, we're just not in sync with each other. We go to rotate, and there's no one helping. Guys are getting layups. We're just not that sharp on defense as we were years ago."
Prince banged up
Prince came into the locker room after Saturday's loss with his lower back region heavily taped. Prince said he suffered the injury in the season finale at Miami.
The injury occurred in the first quarter, but it didn't start to bother him until after he sat on the bench.
"It's not stopping me from jumping or running," Prince said. 'It just locks up when I come out the game and sit for a minute, or even in timeouts. That's why during the timeouts (on Saturday), I was standing up."
Plenty of picks for Detroit
The Pistons will be a very busy team on draft night this year. In addition to their own first round pick (No. 15 overall), they also have three second round selections -- No. 36 overall from Minnesota, No. 39 from Toronto and their own second-round pick, No. 44 overall.

Best Uses
I am the Pep Club moderator for an all girls high school. We ordered this to replace an old mascot costume. The girls love the look of this mascot. In fact, I gave them an option of three different mascots & they chose this one based on the excellent price and the overall design. It was delivered very quickly and was packaged well. The pieces of the costume are quite substantial and there is good padding in the feet of the costume. I haven't used the fan yet, but it looks easy to work (you just need batteries!). The suit itself is easy to put on & fits nearly everyone. It is shedding a little bit, but I believe that is from being new (like a carpet sheds some fibers at first). I also like that they included a letter about how to care for your mascot costume to get the most years out of it. Definitely a great buy for the price!
Best Uses
We got this mascot to replace our original. We love how light the feet and head are, and the face is really expressive and looks great. Tail moves well and head stays on really well. It's still a pretty warm costume, so the fan and ice vest will come in handy. Can't wait to debut him at our Homecoming pep rally!

States Given More Time to Seek U.S. Funds for Health Exchanges
States will get more chances to apply for U.S. aid to set up the online insurance exchanges included in health-care overhaul, and most will comply with the 2010 law, an Obama administration official said.
The Department of Health and Human Services extended today's application deadline to Oct. 15, 2014, for a program that's already given $850 million to 34 states and Washington, D.C. for the exchanges, where consumers can compare and buy medical plans. The administration may get as many as 10 more applications, said Mike Hash, interim director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, on a call today.
The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the bulk of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, letting his administration proceed with the health law's goal of extending coverage to 30 million uninsured people. HHS is ramping up its assistance so every state meets the law's core provisions by 2014.
"What we can't afford to do is spend time fighting any more political battles," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on the call.
Small businesses and 26 states had challenged the law's requirements that all Americans have insurance and that states expand Medicaid, the government-subsidized health plans for the poor and disabled. The Supreme Court upheld the law with the caveat that the federal government can't threaten to withhold existing Medicaid funds from states that don't fully comply.
Due Dates
Hash said most states will comply with the Medicaid changes. About half of Obama's health law's insurance expansion would be covered by broadening Medicaid eligibility, while the rest would have people use tax credits to help buy coverage from private insurers through exchanges being set in each state.
Exchanges are meant to be one-stop shops where consumers can compare coverage information. The agency added 10 application due dates to the calendar for the grant program.
Twenty-seven states are actively building exchanges, according to Menlo Park, California-based nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation. The remaining states had either never started them or had stopped work while waiting to see whether the Supreme Court would strike down the health law. The federal government will build exchanges in states that don't comply.

At 53, Jim Clark could probably coach Chestnut Ridge another 10 years, guide the Lions to well over 100 more wins and, with 342 career wins now, he could finish in the top five in the state in career wins.
On Saturday afternoon at the Giant Center, he was coaching Gary Pfahler to a stunning 4-3 upset of Burrell's returning state champion, Jordan Shields, in the 140-pound finals of the PIAA Class AA Championships.
While it was the first state title for any Chestnut Ridge athlete or team in any sport since it became a school in 1954-55 and the first for Bedford County since 1983, there could be more state titles if he continued to coach.
But he's decided to retire after 31 years as Ridge's coach. If there's anybody who deserved to go out coaching a state champion, it's Clark, the former Penn State wrestler who has instilled his knowledge, energy, time and countless hours into the program. Clark will have lengthy discussions about wrestling with anybody.
Clark will be inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame May 3 in State College. He wrestled for his father, Ed, who coached at Bedford for 24 years and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1980.
Coaching a state champion and becoming a hall of famer has made this past season one to remember. But why hang it up now?
"I really don't have any free time," Clark said. "I have a couple graduate courses I need to take, and [assistant coaches] Greg [Lazor] and Eric [Zezanski] have been helping. Our school district wouldn't create another position for varsity. Those two guys are young and I think they're great coaches. They've been helping for free for the last two years.
"I always told my kids I'm not going to be one of these old guys who hang on. I said if I can't do it 110 percent I'm getting out. People don't realize that before the [first] Bedford match [this season], Greg and I stayed up until 12:30 in the morning trying to figure out lineups."
Ridge went 15-4 this season, becoming the 24th team under Clark to earn 10 or more wins. Two seasons ago, the Lions went 20-1, setting the school record for wins. That year, Clark reached the 300-win plateau and was named the Mirror's Coach of the Year for the first time.
He was crediting the wrestlers and their families then, and he was doing it again amid the glee of Pfahler's title.
"Over the years that I've been involved, I have to give the credit to the student athletes who have come in and worked extremely hard for me to become a better wrestler," Clark said.
"Another thing that was excellent for us is our boosters. Every time we go somewhere, they're providing money. We took everybody to the Lock Haven camp this summer, and it helped out."
It probably won't be too far into the 2008-2009 season that Clark will feel the pull of the wrestling room on his mind and body. He says, though, he won't be quitting cold turkey.
"I love the sport and I'll still be around to help out," he said. "Greg said 'The first two weeks of the season next year, these kids are going to look around like something's wrong here.' I plan on continuing to be supportive.
"I hate to see a coach retire and a program hit the bottom of the barrel, and it does happen. It's not going to happen at Ridge. We have an excellent junior high."
When he got into coaching, first as an assistant at Everett and then as the head coach at Ridge, his dad predicted he'd coach 10 years.
Could Clark, who was hugging assistant coach Scott McGill as soon as Pfahler's bout ended, have envisioned a better way to go out?
"No, this is the ultimate," he said.

The initial BCS standings are out and it's no surprise who's sitting at No. 1--the 6-0 Alabama Crimson Tide.
Bama is also No. 1 in the country in scoring defense (7.5 yards per game), rushing defense (55.33 ypg), passing defense (125.8 ypg) and total defense (181.2 ypg), and is beating opponents by an average of 33 points per game.
Florida comes in at No. 2 and LSU is the highest-ranked one-loss team coming in at No. 6.
Future Tide opponents Mississippi State and Texas A&M come in at Nos. 12 and 19, respectively.
The BCS standings are determined by a three-part equation: the USA TODAY/Coaches poll, the Harris Interactive Poll and the average rankings of six computer polls.
Alabama was also a unanimous No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches' polls released earlier Sunday morning.
