Our Urinalysis Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Urinalysis
Definition of Urinalysis
Urinalysis: A test that is done in order to analyze urine. Because toxins and excess fluid are removed from the body in urine, analysis of urine can provide important health clues. Urinalysis can be used to detect certain diseases, such as diabetes, gout, and other metabolic disorders, as well as kidney disease. It can also be used to uncover evidence of drug abuse. Accurate urinalysis may require a 'clean catch' of urine. Before a person gives a urine sample, he or she should drink plenty of fluids and wait until 1 or 2 seconds into the flow of urine before catching the urine in the receptacle. For some tests it is important to get the first urine of the day, which contains the highest concentration of toxins and other substances to be analyzed. For other tests, a 24-hour collection of urine may be needed.

Oh, and I usually play drums, expert/expert+ only. The guitar got kinda boring to me after the first few guitar heros...

SOMERVILLE — Keith Henry, 43, of no known address was charged with possession of cocaine and heroin with an intent to distribute following a traffic stop of a 2001 Dodge mini-van illegally parked in front of 116 East Main Street on April 10 at 9:56 p.m. Police described the location as a known narcotics trafficking area.
A second suspect in the vehicle, Sean L. Varlow, 40, of 384 Gerard Avenue in Somerset was charged with hindering arrest for allegedly giving a false name to police.
According to investigators, while searching Henry's person, they found 6 decks of suspected cocaine inside a compartment of a cigarette lighter Henry had in his front jeans pocket. Police also located a folded up napkin in Henry's same front jeans pocket. Police unfolded the napkin to find 30 decks of suspected heroin.
Police also found a candy container with a folded up dollar bill inside, which was unfolded to reveal a dime size piece of suspected crack cocaine.
On Varlow's person, Police located a 2-inch plastic straw in his front pocket that had white residue on it. Police suspected it was used to ingest controlled dangerous substances.
The suspected cocaine and heroin returned positive results after field testing.
Police noted the location where the arrests were made is within 500 feet of Lepp Park on Park Avenue in Somerville.
Varlow was processed on an outstanding Metuchen warrant. Police there advised that Varlow be released on his own recognizance pending a future court date.
He was charged by Somerville Police with hindering apprehension, improper maintenance of lamps on a vehicle, unlicensed driver and driving on a suspended license.
Henry was charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute, possession of heroin with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a park, cocaine possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Henry is being held in the Somerset County Jail. His bail was set at $50,000, cash only.

WASHINGTON - His weekend levitation act has turned Washington Wizards center JaVale McGee from a virtual unknown into a household name.
When the Wizards visit the 76ers Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center, the team's headliner will still be rookie point guard John Wall, the first pick in the 2010 draft out of Kentucky.
But McGee, a third-year, 7-foot center with incredible hops, leaped his way into the basketball public's consciousness during Saturday's NBA slam-dunk contest at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
McGee finished as runner-up to Los Angeles Clippers rookie Blake Griffin, who won after leaping over a car in his final dunk.

ATD History and Strategies
Conceived in 2004 by Lumina Foundation for Education and seven national partner organizations, Achieving the Dream is focused on creating a "culture of evidence" on community college campuses in which data collection and analysis drive efforts to identify problems that prevent students from succeeding—particularly low-income students and students of color—and develop programs to help them stay in school and receive a certificate or diploma. With these new institutions, Achieving the Dream's network now includes more than 130 institutions in 24 states and the District of Columbia, reaching more than one million students.
Each Achieving the Dream college develops strategies based on its analysis of institutional strengths, problem areas, and achievement gaps. Many colleges are striving to improve developmental education, because their data revealed large numbers of students who require developmental courses and low rates of passing and retention in these courses. Other strategies that are being pursued by Achieving the Dream colleges include the following:
- Improving gatekeeper courses
- Improving students' first-year experience through closer advising, learning communities, orientation programs, student success courses, and other approaches
- Piloting or expansion of learning communities
- Providing better academic and personal advising for at-risk students
- Improving or enhancing student support services
- Tutoring and supplemental instruction
- Strengthening K-14 links to improve high school students' preparation for college and improve community college students' successful transfer to four-year institutions
- Engaging the community in developing strategies and providing support for student success
- Using data more effectively to monitor student outcomes and improve college practices.

Why did he call me now?
Fifteen years. Hard, long, after she moved out. Never wondering if it was the right thing to do. Her bags packed themselves. Did she dare, yes she did.
How did he find me?
Absently she twists a tuft of hair, fallen in the breeze through the window. Gulls float lazily over breaking waves. A few cards received along the years, he did not know she had kids of her own now. No note to open, she never wrote back. Better that he never know.
What does he need now?
His job had always kept his busy, surprised he has time for me now. Attitudes, actions, those last few years together, always alone. Only his rule, oppressive weight encumbers her shoulders. He better not start. She knows him and how he is.
Why am I even going?
Fingers drum, considering the turn signal and the next exit. Come again, or never. Too many missed years and memories, laid out before her for the world to see. Wishing her mind was far away.
He will only hurt me again.
Run, escape, avoid. Thoughts run rampant, thrashing like a bear caught in a trap. Go home to her family, where he doesn't have to be right. Resigned she parks outside the coffee shop. Open the door, get out, get it over with.
He will cry real tears, ask for forgiveness. All he ever wanted to be was a daddy, to love her, but he didn't know how. Try as he might, he only pushed her away, as he ran off to another meeting. Trying to keep home simple, so he could work, away from empty houses, vacant lives. He now knows different and only wants a second chance.
And so did she.
[The Beginning? After fifteen years, they talked all afternoon. Her failed first marriage, her happy second and their four kids. His job at the coffee shop after workforce reduction. The road ahead was as long as the road behind, but it was a beginning, of something new. A silly grin greets his face every time he tells me this story. Redemption.]

@baino - all real. i unfortunately have seen too many kids run away. maybe not physically but emotionally, barricading themselves in their own thoughts trying to sift through and find a small island of reality to hold onto.
@mrsu - thanks. only time will tell how old wounds heal. glad this one had a happy ending. in losing much of what they held onto they found each other.

Scared of Your New Baby? Don't Worry – It's Normal.Molly Thornberg
I recently read Lori Garcia's post on Advice for New Moms: Don't Worry I Was Scared of My Baby Too. I have to tell you, she hit home with a topic that is so true to so many moms.
While little Zeke is my fourth child, I have to admit – as soon as he arrived the "what if" thoughts consumed my head for the first week of his life. "You've done this before." I kept telling myself. THREE OTHER TIMES in fact.
Why was I have a mommy freak out? I know how to do this. BUT. What if (followed by obnoxiously stupid thoughts!)… ? What am I doing? How did I get here? I forgot how to (it's only been 16 months since my last boy! I should know these things)… How do I keep him from growing up too quick? And so on…
Last week, I had a coming to Jesus… literally. I have been working on editing Zeke's video and as I looked at these images from his unplanned conception (pregnancy test, not of the actual conception – ha!), to the excitement telling our kids about a new sibling, to the long months of pregnancy – all leading up to his birth – it hit me.
Everything happens for a reason.
I don't want to turn this into a religious thing – but for me trusting in God, something I forget to do way too much – was my way to stop freaking out and to get over being scared of my new sweet little baby. I let go of the what if's and am enjoying every good and bad moment with this child.
If you are scared of your new baby and all the responsibilities and emotions attached with him or her – just know this. It's completely NORMAL.
You will make mistakes. Not every day will be NOT be perfect. And yes, eventually your sweet little baby will grow up.
I love how Lori put this in her Advice for Mom post:
New mom, parenthood is undoubtedly the hardest job you'll ever love. I know you want the very best for your baby, and in time, you'll realize all the obsessive worrying really didn't make you a better parent at all. No amount of hyper-diligence or overprotection will protect your baby from explosive diarrhea, unexplainable crying, diaper rash, or the sniffles.
Enjoy your new baby. Being a mom is the best job you'll ever day. A hard one, that you may hate some days… but it's all worth it.
What Were Your Biggest Fears as a New Mom?

You all know how much I love my Results Not Typical cover, and if you don't it's a lot. Green is associated with health and dieting, and that exact green is the color that Slimmit (the fictional company in the book) use in their branding – in my imagination, at least. The title font captures the spirit of the book perfectly and is big enough to survive in an e-book cover, and we managed to get across the subject matter of the book without resorting to putting any photographs of skinny women on there. It's a cover that can be easily changed enough to go on the next book in the series while still maintaining a cohesive brand.
It's a cover that stands out, especially since we avoided the whole pastel pink, cartoon, swirly writing chick-lit cover extravaganza that always makes me think of too-sweet candy floss and Pepto-Bismol.
That sentence right there encapsulates why I began to let my personal feelings cloud my judgement and override the facts, which ultimately led to me making a decision about my cover that involved just one person (me) when it should've involved millions of people, i.e. the women who might like to read Results Not Typical.
I had a thing against pinky-pink chick-lit covers. In my defense, this was because whenever my eye fell on a stack of them in a bookshop, they all seemed utterly indiscernible from one another. Most of them could've swapped covers and still been okay. Many of them could also have swapped titles. Neither the cover design nor the title seemed in any way specific to any book, and it turned me right off the thought of ever reading any of them.
I also resented the fact that as a woman, I was expected to be attracted to pink. But my resentment was as ironic as that Alanis Morrisette song was not (which, perhaps, is the irony…? *brain ache*), because I love, love, LOVE pink. I really do. Half the clothes in my wardrobe are somewhere near it, my first iPod was a gorgeous shade of dusty pink and my bedroom is decorated in shades of pink and purple. I even have a pink leather laptop bag.
And have you seen my blog?
So why was I getting my (pink?) knickers in a twist over pink book covers? (And I should say here that I'm of course not just talking about chick-lit covers that are literally pink, but all those that have swirly-writing, a cartoon woman and a color that suggests something girly and fun.) I really don't know. But I started to change my mind about it a few months back when I started coming across some book covers that ticked all the chick-lit boxes, but yet really appealed to me. Beautiful covers like these:
What information about the book inside do you get from these covers? I see hints that the novels inside are going to be entertaining, possibly funny, a good few hours of escapism, about hopes, dreams and love, and fun. Fun, fun, fun. FUN! And the reason they have elements in common is because if you read and liked From Notting Hill With Love Actually (which I did; I reviewed it here), then chances are The Night Before Christmas will float your boat too, or at least be in with a chance of doing so. These covers aren't saying anything about women – they're only saying things about what's in the book. And by their visual similarity, however small, they help each other out by letting readers know if you liked x, you'll probably like this.
Plus they'd all look gorgeous on my purple book shelf in my pink room.
(Yes, my book shelves are purple. Jealous?)
The number one message about Results Not Typical that I want to get across to potential readers of it was: this book is fun. The number two message I want to get across is: this book is for women, and the third is this book is about something most of us can relate to: dieting. But yet instead of choosing a type of cover that would instantly convey these three vital points, I chose something that I liked, that I felt conveyed what the book was about. But you know what? I know what the book is about – I wrote it! So am I really the best judge of whether or not the cover conveys what's inside? Possibly not. Probably not. Therefore instead of indulging myself, I should have been guided by the same principles that guided the designers of the covers of the books – the bestselling books – above. I should've put a girly-girl, swirly-writing cartoon cover on it, because I am a girly-girl, and I like swirly writing and cartoons. And I wrote the book I wanted to read, so surely the other women out there who would like this book like those things too?
This wasn't all hypothetical: the sales of Results reflected that I'd made a mistake. They do reflect this. I promised, back when I started chronicling my self-publishing adventures on this blog, that I'd share both the successes and failures, and so I'll be blogging about this in detail in the New Year. But in the meantime, I've decided to change the cover of Results' e-book edition. Something isn't working, and I think it's the green cover. My Amazon product listing is as good as it can be—clear and enticing blurb, three glowing and qualified endorsements, links to my other books—and the price is sofa change, i.e. 99c.
When I first thought of changing the cover, I toyed with the idea of an original illustration. I found out the name of the illustrator who did one of the traditionally-published covers above, and daydreamed about commissioning from her a new, girly-girl, fun – FUN! – Results Not Typical cover. But at the time I'd just put two books to bed and owed hundreds in editing and cover design fees. Who knows how much an original illustration from such an in-demand, talented artist would cost, but I was guessing it would be more than I had, and more than I, at that point, wanted to sink into a book that I wasn't even making bus fare off of. And what, if after all that, the problem wasn't the cover? What if the book just didn't appeal? What if I had no chance of ever getting that money back?
I decided to conduct a little experiment. Test the waters, so to speak. I would try changing the cover into something more affordable—something girly, fun and cartoony (i.e. not photos), but affordable—and see if it made any difference. I e-mailed my cover designer extraordinaire, Andrew Brown of Design for Writers, and explained the situation. I sent him some of the covers above and a bit of a brief, and here's what he came up with:
Isn't it pretty? Isn't it just adorable? Look at that font! Do you see the little sparkles?
And do you see how well it goes with my blog? You know how I love me some color co-ordination.
I love it. Love it, love it, LOVE it.
What do you think?
I've uploaded it to Amazon and have a couple of other tricks up my sleeve for Results, which again, I'll be blogging about in the New Year. But I'm calling this Operation Booster Rocket, and my mission is to get Results selling at a level near or at least closer to that of my other books.
Wish me luck!
(I've just uploaded it, so if you go to Amazon the old cover might still be there, and the paperback will still have the green one, for now anyway.)

UH Manoa Campus Events Calendar
Dead Sea Scrolls LectureMarch 13, 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Manoa Campus, Art Auditorium (Art 132)
"The Archaeology of Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls" Dr. Jodi Magness, University of North Carolina.
In 1947, a Bedouin boy accidentally discovered ancient scrolls dating to about the time of Jesus in a cave on the NW shore of the Dead Sea. The remains of over 900 different scrolls were eventually found in 11 caves in the vicinity containing Biblical books and literature describing the beliefs and practices of the Jewish sect that deposited the scrolls in the caves. Many scholars identify this sect with the ancient Essenes described by Flavius Josephus, Philo Judaeus and Pliny the Elder. At least some of the members of this group lived at the site of Qumran which is adjacent to the caves where the scrolls were found. This slide-illustrated lecture focuses on the archaeology of Qumran, which was excavated by Roland de Vaux in the 1950's, and the connection between the site and the scrolls from the cave.

"We watched a wall of flames about 3 miles wide burn through three canyons in 10 minutes," said David Stewart, 53, of Acton, who had a front-row seat for Sunday night's havoc. "All I could hear was this big roar of the fire and things exploding."
The flames towered above Acton, surging to a height of more than 100 feet as the fire sprinted toward Stewart's home, he said.
At that point, Stewart and two coworkers at the Acton Clay Quarry decided it was time to leave.
However, the keys to their truck were locked inside the vehicle.
"We had to break the driver's-side window so we could get out of there," said Mike Herron, 53 of Acton.
The workers escaped without harm, and so did Stewart's home, they discovered upon their return Monday.
2 firefighters killed
The Station Fire, which erupted last Wednesday in the foothills behind La Canada Flintridge, destroyed 21 homes and threatened another 12,000. Smoke, flames and destruction stretched from La Canada Flintridge to Acton.
The fire also claimed the lives of Los Angeles County Fire Department Specialist Arnaldo Quinones of Palmdale and Capt. Tedmund Hall of San Bernardino County, Los Angeles County fire officials said.
The firefighters were killed trying to protect a county fire camp near Mt. Gleason. The truck carrying Hall and Quinones went over the side of a road and plummeted 800 feet, said Capt, Mike Brown of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The incident is still under investigation, Brown said.
The fire doubled in sized Sunday night and early Monday, growing from a 42,000-acre fire to more than 105,000 acres. As of 6:15 p.m., the fire was 5 percent contained, according to fire officials.
Charred landscape
When Stewart, Herron and Lalonde returned to the scene of the fire Monday, they surveyed the charred landscape from a vantage point on the train tracks running across Crown Valley Road in Acton.
Stewart said he was happy that many of the homes in Acton were spared. Where the three men had seen an inferno on Sunday night, white smoke was rising from burnt ground on Monday.
"It's liberating," Stewart said. "The fire looks like it burned itself out."
The Station Fire destroyed at least two homes in Acton, according to fire officials.
Stewart said the fire's quick advance Sunday night marked his closest encounter with wildfire.
"I think this is the closest anyone has seen fire come to Acton," he said. "I've been here 10 years, but nobody I know can remembers it coming this close."
Fire crews spent Monday in mop-up mode, clearing brush and putting the finishing touches on an 8-mile fire break from Bootleg Canyon Road to Aliso Canyon Road in Acton, said Don Damann, heavy equipment operator for Los Angeles County fire.
Warren Hubbard of the El Dorado County Fire Department said the work Monday was much calmer and cooler than Sunday night's heated battle with the fire along Aliso Canyon Road.
"The fire created a vacuum and drew in 40 mph winds," he said. "Those winds created a huge plume of fire more than 100 feet tall."
The menacing flames advanced toward homes along Aliso Canyon Road, a few miles east of the Highway 14 freeway, engulfing two homes, Hubbard said.
He and his crew were able to save one home by acting quickly.
"We saw the fire bumping up against the back of the house," Hubbard said.
He and his crew made a stand with hoses and warded off the fire with only minimal damage to the home, Hubbard said.
Refusing to leave
Some Acton residents remained resilient in the face of the Station Fire. Elizabeth Billet said she and her husband, Ray, were staying put at Blum Ranch.
The couple cultivate about 60 of the roughly 100-year-old ranch's 160 acres, producing peaches, plums, pears, lilacs and honey.
"We don't like the smoke that we're seeing," Elizabeth said early Monday afternoon, and added the fire was about a mile away Sunday.
The couple, who live in a 95-year-old stone and timber house, had no plans to leave. Elizabeth, 74, said Ray, 75, can assist firefighters by providing water.
The farm is in the midst of harvesting peaches, but Elizabeth said: "Everything's kind of on hold right now."
This is not the Billets' first run-in with a fire. Several years ago a brush fire tore through the orchard.
"We didn't leave before," she said, "and we don't plan to this time."
Shawn Holt, 36, of Acton, didn't need a stern warning to make him pack up his things and leave Thousand Trails recreational-vehicle park in Acton.
"When the sky turned orange and black on Saturday afternoon, I got concerned," he said.
Los Angeles County sheriff's told residents there was a voluntary evacuation order, and Holt said that was enough to make him leave.
Holt watched the flames and the smoke from his recreational vehicle for two days. By Monday the sky began to clear, giving him hope the firefighters were winning the battle.
"It looks better today than it has been," he said. "You see the smoke but you don't see the flames of the fire anymore."
Shambala Preserve spared
An animal sanctuary called the Roar Foundation Shambala Preserve, six miles east of Acton, was in the mandatory evacuation zone, but fire officials decided removing the animals would be "a logistical nightmare," said Chris Gallucci, vice president of operations.
Directed by actress Tippi Hedren - likely best known for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" - the preserve is home to around 70 lions, tigers, bobcats and panthers.
"We have 64 big cats, leopards, lions, tigers, cougars. ... The animals are just walking around, not being affected by this at all," Gallucci said.
"But if we panic, they panic. But we are not in panic mode yet."
Twin flanks
The Station Fire was burning on two separate flanks Monday, advancing north toward the Antelope Valley while at the same time burning east toward Mount Wilson.
Fire crews set back fires and doused Mount Wilson with fire retardant to protect the peak, which is home to at least 20 television station transmission towers, radio and cell phone antennas and an observatory.
If the flames overrun Mount Wilson, television and radio transmissions could be interrupted, but to what extent remains unclear.
Senior Staff Writer Josh Premako and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

316 Firms That Fund Tech Companies–On One Page
Need funding for your fledgling digital-media start-up? Are you a publicly-traded Internet company looking to be privately restructured?
Look no further than a newly published graphic that lists hundreds of firms providing capital to digital companies. (You can download it here or select on the image below to view it).
The graphic is a product of LUMA Partners, a boutique investment bank in New York that advises technology companies on possible acquisition targets, such as Google's recent $400 million purchase of Admeld. The firm might be better known for its founder Terence Kawaja's obsession with publicizing graphics used by bankers to help clients–large acquirers–to visualize complicated markets.
On Wednesday, LUMA released a guide to 316 "digital capital" firms, such as venture capital shops and start-up "incubators."
Included in the group of "angel" investment firms and incubators are Paul Graham's Y Combinator, which gave rise to file-sharing service Dropbox and travel-rental site Airbnb; Lerer Ventures, which recently funded Greplin, a search service, and Group Commerce, which helps media publishers offer daily deals; and Bill Gross's Idealab, which funded UberMedia, owner of apps that let people view information from Twitter, the microblogging service.
The biggest group in the graphic is "venture," including "stage agnostic" firms that invest in everything from tiny startups to established players. Those include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (investor in Twitter, deal site Groupon) and Union Square Ventures (location app Foursquare, teacher-student social network Edmodo).
The venture category also shows a spectrum of firms, from those based in the West Coast and focused on early-stage companies, including Michael Arrington's controversial CrunchFund, to firms on the East Coast, such as Spark Capital (Twitter, Admeld, Tumblr). There are also numerous "strategic" investors, or the venture-capital arms of technology or media corporations, including Google Ventures.
The "venture debt" group includes firms that often help companies raise money without giving up as much of an ownership stake to the investors as they would in a venture-capital financing. The "growth equity" category includes funders of late-stage companies that often already generate a profit. Among them are Goldman Sachs, invested $450 million in social network Facebook late last year, and Russia-based Digital Sky Technologies (Groupon, Facebook, Twitter, social-game maker Zynga).
The "private equity" group includes firms such as Silver Lake, which recently has expressed interest in a possible deal for Yahoo, according to people familiar with the matter. The "hedge fund/alternative" category includes Legg Mason and Capital Group Companies, a large Yahoo investor.
The "digital capital" graphic follow's LUMA's six previously graphics, released in June, that show how 1,240 different companies fit into the complex online-advertising industry. Kawaja said those graphics have been viewed more than 175,000 times and downloaded more than 12,000 times. For all of the graphics, LUMA is soliciting feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com on whether it omitted certain firms or placed names in the wrong categories.

A Tricky Trailer Delivery
Jeff and Megan's New Tumbleweed Trailer Being Delivered!
Jeff and Megan attended a Tumbleweed workshop in Las Vegas earlier this year, where they were able to tour three different tiny homes. After that, they took the plunge - purchasing a brand new 20 foot Tumbleweed foundation on wheels. Let the build begin!
The first obstacle almost every tiny house builder faces is a big one - WHERE TO BUILD? Jeff and Megan currently live in Las Vegas, and like so many tiny housers, they lack an ideal space for construction. Many people in this situation rent a location such as a workshop, while others build in a friend's backyard, barn, or tall shed. Finding the perfect build site can take time and research, but it's well worth the effort.
The main considerations when choosing a build location are:
1) Adequate space for maneuvering the finished house through the entrance
2) Adequate space to move around the house while constructing
3) Access to electricity for power tool usage
4) A covered lockable area to protect materials and tools
5) Budget
*Also, depending on the geographical location, a covered build site might be preferable to prevent weather damage.
While brainstorming possible build locations with a close friend, Megan and Jeff stumbled upon a solution. "We figured our friend Martin would have some good ideas because he's a Las Vegas native, but instead he offered his own backyard!" Megan said. "We are very lucky." Martin's yard is spacious, and he is also allowing them access to his garage and electricity. But, there is one challenge - an angled driveway that could pose a problem for maneuvering. Is this build site too good to be true?
The Challenge: Backing the trailer through the angled driveway
Oops! First attempt - part of the retaining wall collapsed!
"I knew backing the trailer in was going to be tricky." Jeff explained. "The gate opening is 10′ wide, and the trailer itself is only 8'6″. We knew it would clear, as long as we worked around that angle." Eventually they lined the trailer up as best they could, unhooked, and pushed it in by hand.
Slowly, Jeff and Megan navigated the trailer into the back yard...
Hooray!! They made It! It's so spacious back here!
Okay, but how are they going to pull the trailer out with a 13 foot house on top?! "We're confident we'll come up with a solution." Jeff chuckled. They are considering building up the area where the retaining wall fell over or engineering some sort of steel "deck" that could be installed to allow for a truck to pull the trailer out. Both Jeff and Megan agree, they'll have to figure it out before they begin to build.
Any ideas or tips for Jeff and Megan's exit strategy (literally)? Please share.
Make sure to check back for periodic updates on Jeff and Megan! They are preparing to build a Linden, modeled from Meg Stephens's house and hope to be finished by February.
All photos provided by Jeff & Megan.
Follow Jeff & Megan's blog here. And friend them on facebook here.
Jenna Spesard is currently building a Tumbleweed Cypress with her partner, Guillaume, who is a professional photographer and Tumbleweed Workshop Host. After the build is complete, they plan to travel around North America in their tiny house blogging and photographing their adventure. More on their tiny house and giant journey here.

Im interested in purchasing a 204 Ruger. Anyone had any experience with it? How does it stack up to a 22-250, which is my first choice for a varmint ctg?

My NEF 204 Ruger almost matches the groups I get with my 22-250 Ruger Model M77 Mark II. Both will do the job but then again so will a .222 or .223.
March 12, 2006, 10:31 PM
I bought a .204 Ruger last spring in a Ruger 1B. I have both 223's and 22-250's and wanted something different with money burnig a hole in my pocket(and I like #1's). My .204 is very accurate shooting 7/16" groups at 100 yds and 3/4" groups at 200 yds on a still day with Hornady ammo. There is hardly any kick and you can see your shots hitting thru the scope. After saying that, I truly believe that this cartridge is strictly a 250 yd round and would expect that wind would play havoc with it. Over 250 yds I believe the 223 or the 22-250 would be a much better cartridge for varmint work.
March 13, 2006, 04:03 AM
accoridn to science, the 204 is better , with a higher b.c. and s.d. than all the 22 rounds, also uses less powder, and shape of case, causes less throat/leade degredation. it can also be seen where your shots hit through the scope, if you have a long , heavy varminter type.

- " This was a great hostel for the price we paid, a great value. Really good location, within walking distance to everything, 10-15 mins max. The street is not too noisy. We had a very large room for 4 people, with our own shower and sink. The only thing was we only had one set of keys for 4 people which got annoying when we split up and went different location. Also a lot of stairs so if you can't do stairs book somewhere else. The staff was friendly and the the facilities clean. Good experience! "

The staff could not have been friendlier and the whole place was clean and organized. Location was perfect and even when I had to catch my flight at 4am the next day I felt safe. Cool facilities as well! "

It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of 2012. It has been an eventful year on many fronts. OPA continues to be strong and financially sound with stable membership. OPA continues to provide quality member services that are valued. OPA's staff continues to be among the top professionals in the association management field and we continually challenge ourselves to be better. OPA's new Strategic Plan is driving the association in some important new directions and seeks to achieve new levels of success for the profession and our members in our current service areas. There is a great deal to look forward to in the months ahead as we move into 2013.
Before we close the books on 2012, don't forget about two opportunities to earn tax benefits for yourself that can also make a difference for others.
First, is the Foundation for Psychology in Ohio (PSYOHIO), our 501(c)(3) charitable arm. As you think about making charitable gifts at year-end, please consider a donation to PSYOHIO. Gifts to PSYOHIO are fully tax deductible. Donating is easy on the OPA website.
PSYOHIO does many things, a full list is available here.
In brief PSYOHIO:
• Invests in the future of psychology by providing scholarships and prizes to support research, education and training including middle school, high school, college, graduate school and early career
• Supports public education efforts that disseminates information regarding psychology and behavioral health to the general public, policy makers and to mental health professionals;
• Supports educational or scientific exhibits about psychology for the benefit of the general public, such as the Health Fair held at the Ohio Statehouse annually;
• Sponsors panels, workshops, seminars and other educational activities in psychology for the benefit of psychologists, graduate students, other mental health professionals and the general public, such as our Multicultural Conference featuring Dr. Beverly Greene scheduled for April 12, 2013;
• Grants awards, stipends or other forms of recognition to teachers or researchers in psychology at secondary schools or institutions of higher education on the bases of innovative or meritorious achievement;
• The Foundation supports OPA's Oral History Project to record Ohio psychologists discussing the evolution of the profession and the contribution of Ohioans to its advancement;
• PSYOHIO is initiating a special project this coming year to expand the number of internships available to graduate students in Ohio.
Let us know of other areas of activity you'd like to see the Foundation undertake.
In addition to annual tax deductible gifts, the Foundation for Psychology in Ohio invites members to consider a bequest to PSYOHIO as they make their estate and financial plans. Please contact me if you would like more information about this..
The second opportunity is Ohio's tax credit for donations to statewide office holders. Many of you probably took advantage of this during the recent campaign season, but if not, you still can. Ohio allows for a $50 state tax credit for donations of up to $50 ($100 on a joint tax return) that are made directly to statewide office holders/candidates (gifts to OPA-PAC are not eligible for this tax credit). We urge you to consider making a gift to your state representative or state senator before the end of the year. Be sure they know you are a psychologist and a member of the Ohio Psychological Association. You can support advocacy for psychology and it doesn't cost you a penny!
Not sure who your state representative or state senator is? Visit this page on the OPA website, click on How to Find Your Legislators and choose one of the two options to search for your legislator. You will need your zip + four zip code to do the search (I always have to dig through my mail to find my + four zip).

Free Stuff: Aviary at Blackbird
Make free art, and possibly win a free Lomography camera, at this Ballard creativity factory.
How'd you do with your holiday shopping?
If you thought of checking out this all-ages art idea from the Aviary that we recommended but didn't, check this out:
The Ballard shop-in-shop (it's a separate but connected entity to Blackbird, the mens' shop) is giving away free sheets of sun-sensitive Nature Paper through the end of the month.
Pick one up, take it out, and give it a little bit of yourself. And quick, now, while the sun is actually out.
And then, sign and return the paper to enter to win a free Lomography camera.
What's up with all the free stuff in Ballard? Co-creator Ken Mitchell is serious about creativity. I met the former toy producer, designer, and executive (his career history is both impressive and fun) right before the winter holidays and I'm telling you: he's serious about making stuff fun again.
To that end, the shop stocks all kinds of idea- and project-starters, but perhaps moreover, Mitchell himself is a catalyst. Friendly enough to not be pushy, but pushy enough to be more than just the blandly supportive friend who knows your talented but keeps inviting you out for cocktails when you should be out shooting film or painting canvases. You know what I mean?
The winner will be announced—and the neighborhood's art will be on view—at the shop's February 2 opening event.

As spectators, we tend to glorify fastballs, as well as pitchers that strikeout a lot of hitters.
Even though a strikeout is usually no more beneficial to a pitcher than a ground out or a fly out, it is a significantly more dramatic and overpowering way for a batter to be retired. Because of this, pitchers that are able to throw fastballs in the mid-to-high 90s and strikeout a lot of batters are often more hyped and talked about than finesse and off-speed pitchers.
As a result, there are several power pitchers that are either overpaid or who gain considerably more recognition than they truly deserve.
Here are the top eight.

WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve cuts interest rates for seventh time, lowering federal funds rate by quarter-point.
The reduction pushed the funds rate, the interest that banks charge on overnight loans, to its lowest level in more than seven years.
In response, commercial banks were expected to announce that they were reducing their prime lending rates, the benchmark for millions of consumer and business loans, by a similar quarter-point, to 6.50 percent, also the lowest level in seven years.
With the latest reduction, the Fed has cut rates by 3 percentage points since the beginning of this year, including five straight half-point rate reductions, which represented the Fed's fastest credit easing in nearly two decades.
The effort is aimed at jump-starting the U.S. economy, which has been lackluster for a year and slipped close to recession territory in the spring.

Dry etch damage in n-type GaN and its recovery by treatment with an plasma87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373438View Description Hide Description
We report on etch-induced damage in n-type GaN caused by an inductively coupled plasma, and damage recovery by means of treatment with an plasma. As the plasmadc bias was increased by increasing the rf table power during etching, the optical and electrical properties of the etchedGaN films deteriorated as the result of etch-induced damage. However, an plasma treatment for the etched samples effectively removed the etch-induced defects and damage on the surface, leading to improved surface morphology,photoluminescence, and ohmic contact in n-type GaN.
In situ ion channeling study of gallium disorder and gold profiles in Au-implanted GaN87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373439View Description Hide Description
Disorder accumulation and annealing behavior on the Ga sublattice in gallium nitride(GaN)implanted with 1.0 MeV (60° off surface normal) at 180 or 300 K have been studied using in situRutherford backscattering spectrometry in a 〈0001〉-channeling geometry. Complete amorphization in GaN is attained at 6.0 and 20 for irradiation at 180 and 300 K, respectively. A saturation in the Ga disorder at and behind the damage peak was observed at intermediate ion fluences at both 180 and 300 K. No measurable thermal recovery was found at 300 K for the full range of damage produced at 180 K. However, distinct epitaxial regrowth in the bulk and Ga reordering at surface occurred after annealing at 870 K. The implantedAu readily diffuses into the highly damaged regions at elevated temperatures, and the redistribution of the Au atoms in the implantedGaN varies with the damage profiles. A double-peak Au profile developed with the maxima located in the amorphous surface region and near the Au mean projected range. The result is interpreted as Au atom diffusion into the amorphous regime near the surface and Au trapping at irradiation-induced defects in the crystal structure. This trapping effect is also evidenced in this study by the suppressed recovery of the Au-decorated disorder in GaN.
Optical properties of partially damaged ion implanted SiC layers by use of effective medium models87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373440View Description Hide Description
6H-SiC was implanted at room temperature with ions and an energy-dose program which results in almost homogeneously damaged layers of about 0.43 μm thickness. The damage concentration was detected by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry with channeling. Optical transmission and reflection spectra were measured in the photon energy range 0.5 eV⩽ℏω⩽3.2 eV. It is shown that effective medium approximations can be used to analyze the measured spectra assuming the implanted layer to consist of a physical mixture of crystalline and defective crystalline or of defective crystalline and amorphous material. The distribution of the amorphous volume fraction and that of defective crystalline material is determined by fitting of the measured optical spectra. The observed dose dependences of these volume fractions are successfully applied to study the mechanisms of damage formation.
Positron annihilation study of defects in boron implanted silicon87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373441View Description Hide Description
Defects and their annealing behavior in boronimplantedsilicon have been studied using positron annihilation spectroscopy(PAS), ion channeling, nuclear reactionanalysis, and transmission electron microscopy. Silicon wafers were implanted with 80 keV boron ions to fluences from to Furnace annealing or rapid thermal annealing(RTA) of the implanted Si samples was conducted to temperatures in the range in a ambient. For as-implanted samples, the defect profiles extracted from PAS spectra were found to extend beyond the implantedboron distribution given by TRIM calculations. The values increased monotonically with increasing boron fluences. For boron fluences was found to be (the characteristic value for divacancy), while was found to be for a boron fluence of After annealing at all B-implanted samples had similar values in the near-surface region, while in the deep region the values for high B fluences were found to be lower than those for low B fluences Annealing at did not change the data for the lowest boron fluence but caused a slight increase of the parameters in the deep region for other boron fluences. RTA at shows that major defects in B-implanted Si are annealed out within the first 3 s. An interesting transient annealing behavior is observed in which the value decreases in the initial annealing stage, and then increases to a saturating value after prolonged annealing. Possible effects of electric fields resulting from the electrical activation of implantedboron on the behavior of positron annihilation line shapes after annealing are discussed.
Complex color centers in ultraviolet-light irradiated single crystal87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373442View Description Hide Description
The frequency and temperature dependence of the dielectric response in monocrystalline lead tungstate was measured before and after ultraviolet-light irradiation.Irradiated crystals, but not as-grown samples, exhibited dielectric relaxationcharacteristics, its activation energy being 0.3 eV and frequency factor, around We trace its origin to the dipoles of complex color centers formed in W–O tetrahedra of the lattice. That radiation affects the W–O bonds were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. On the other hand, irradiated crystals did not undergo dielectric relaxation, if they had been previously annealed in oxygen at a temperature where oxygen diffuses easily, as indicated by thermogravimetry. We conclude that reducing oxygen vacancy concentration effectively enhances their radiation hardness.
Origin of asymmetric growth during solid-state amorphization studied with molecular-dynamics simulation87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373443View Description Hide Description
Solid-state interfacial reaction in the Ni/Nb multilayers upon thermal annealing is investigated with molecular-dynamics simulation. The result shows that amorphization takes place at medium temperatures and the growth of the amorphous interlayer presents an asymmetric behavior due to faster consuming of the Ni layer than the Nb layer. Consequently, a Ni-enriched amorphous phase is formed together with some unreacted Nb before complete amorphization, which agrees well with the experimental observations. Moreover, it is revealed that the Nb lattice can accommodate a large number of Ni atoms and still retain crystalline structure, while a small amount of Nb atoms induce a spontaneous decay of the Ni lattice, which is essentially the physical origin of the asymmetric growth observed in not only the Ni–Nb system but also in the other systems studied so far.
Modelling the percolation-type transition in radiation damage87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373444View Description Hide Description
Following the concept of percolation-type transition in zircon under radiation damage suggested previously, the general simulation model of irradiated material is proposed. The model naturally gives rise to swelling of the undamaged crystalline part of irradiated material.X-ray scattering profiles are calculated and show broadening that increases with radiation damage, in good agreement with published experimental x-ray diffraction data on zircon. The effect of percolation on material bulk properties is studied.
Topology of amorphous gallium arsenide on intermediate length scales: A molecular dynamics study87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373445View Description Hide Description
Structuralcorrelations in amorphous gallium arsenide are investigated with molecular-dynamics simulations using a new interatomic potential function. The calculated static structure factor, in particular the height and width of the first peak which is a signature of the intermediate-range correlations, is in excellent agreement with x-ray diffraction experiments. Atomistic topology on intermediate length scales is elucidated through the analyses of shortest-path rings, partial static structure factors, and bond-angle distributions. The calculated energy difference between crystalline and amorphous systems is also in good agreement with electronic-structure calculations.
X-ray investigations of the molecular mobility within polymer surface gratings87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373528View Description Hide Description
The physical origin of surface relief patterning on amorphous polymer films containing azobenzene-side chains induced by holographic exposure with visible light of about 450 nm is not yet fully understood. To understand the nature of the induced material transport is of special interest to describe the dynamic processes occurring in thin films below the glass transition temperature Thus, we investigated films made from the polar (poly {4′-[2-(methacryloxy) ethyl]-ethyl}amino-4-nitroazobenzene, and less polar {poly[4-(2-methacryloxy)-ethyl] azobenzene, azobenzene side-chain homopolymers and performed temperature-resolved coherent x-ray and visible (VIS) light scatteringmeasurements of the thermally induced erasure of the surfacegratings. The simultaneous use of x-ray synchrotron light (λ=0.14 nm) and VIS laser light (λ=633 nm) allows the detection of the material flow on different lengths scales. We did not find remarkable differences in the thermal behavior of polar and nonpolar materials. Depending on the time used for inscribing the gratings the VIS signal starts vanishing at a critical temperature below the glass temperature Up to the x-ray grating peak intensities increase to a maximum even if the VIS signal is almost zero. Probing the grating in a different depth below the surface, the first and second order x-ray Fourier components reach their intensity maxima at different temperatures and rise up in intensity with time constants characterized by an Arrhenius-like activation energy of about 2.6 eV. At the grating peak intensities go to zero. Our measurements can be interpreted by a model of anisotropic viscosity. At the erasing of the surfacegrating takes place by a material flow perpendicular to the initial surface. This is accompanied by the formation of an intrinsic density grating within the film against the shear tension of the polymer. At the created lateral density modulation becomes equalized by a lateral material flow quantified by a diffusion coefficient of about
Flaw length distribution measurement in brittle materials87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373446View Description Hide Description
A technique was developed in an experiment of fractured soda-lime glass which yielded a wide mist zone. This technique enabled us to measure the lengths of a large number (≈ 12 000) of secondary cracks (SC) in this zone. Statistical analysis of these lengths across the mist as a function of distance from fracture origin revealed some unexpected results. (a) The total number of SC remains constant for ≈ 40% of the width of the mist zone and subsequently decreases monotonically down to ≈ 50% of the initial number towards the end of this zone. (b) The length distribution of SC can be interpreted as constituting of two populations: (1) A nucleated SC population which remains unchanged across the whole mist. This distribution consists of two subpopulations: (i) half Gaussian (around 84%), and (ii) decaying exponential (around 16%). (2) A rather small portion of the nucleated population of SC (≈ 9% throughout) which grow monotonically by a factor of up to 40 with distance across the mist. (c) This factor agrees well with our theoretical calculation of the growth mode, and yields a reasonable estimate of the radius of the initial critical flaw (1.85 mm).
Chemical trends of the rattling phonon modes in alloyed germanium clathrates87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373447View Description Hide Description
Alloys based on Geclathrates are promising thermoelectric materials because of their expected "rattling" properties. We have incorporated the elements of columns I and II into the cages of type-I clathrates as cation guests and have theoretically examined their "rattling" behavior using density functional theory. The potential energy curves of guest atoms in the cages are evaluated to understand the nature of the weak guest–framework interaction. Some atoms are unstable at the center of the cages, while others appear to be bonded by weak restoring forces. We calculate the phonon modes and the Raman spectra and find that heavy alkali-earth elements, such as Sr and Ba, induce low-frequency "rattling" phonon modes as predicted by Slack's model, while heavy alkali metal atoms (K, Rb, and Cs) are less "rattler-like" since they interact less with the acoustic modes of the Ge-based clathrate framework.
Mesoscopic kinetics of nonequilibrium solidification87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373448View Description Hide Description
Disadvantages of Aziz interface partition model [J. Appl. Phys. 53, 1158 (1982)] are summarized in this article. Using transition state theory and Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution law, a mesoscopic solute partition model (MPM) including multilayer interface for dilute solution is put forward. It is shown that the static interface structure and roughening behavior have significant effects on solute partitioning. Both the partition processes of semiconductors and metals can be explained by MPM rationally. The Aziz model is just a particular case of MPM for monolayer interface without roughening before complete trapping occurs. Comparisons of MPM with experimental results in Si (As, Ge, Bi, Sn) and Al(Cu, Sn, Ge, In) show pretty good agreement, provided an educated speculation of interface roughening behavior is given. Also in MPM, it is pointed out that interface diffusivity correlates with the interface scale. For semiconductors with an atomic sharp solid/liquid interface, is close to the diffusivity of bulk liquid. On the other hand, for metals with a diffuse interface, can be orders of magnitude lower than to some extent estimated by the geometric mean of the diffusivity of bulk solid and liquid.
Photoacoustic study of the effect of aluminum content on the thermal and thermomechanical properties of on GaAs in the range87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373449View Description Hide Description
The two layer system on GaAs is studied in the range The open photoacoustic cell technique is used to obtain thermal diffusivity,thermal conductivity,heat capacity, and the thermal expansion coefficient. It is shown that the thermal properties of the individual layers can be determined using the low modulation frequency regime models without actually separating the two layer system. The possibilities and advantages of the approach for the thermal characterization of layered semiconductor systems are discussed.
Effect of Si doping on strain, cracking, and microstructure in GaN thin films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373529View Description Hide Description
The effect of Si doping on the strain and microstructure in GaNfilmsgrown on sapphire by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition was investigated. Strain was measured quantitatively by x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and wafer curvature techniques. It was found that for a Si concentration of the threshold for crack formation during filmgrowth was 2.0 μm. Transmission electron microscopy and micro-Raman observations showed that cracking proceeds without plastic deformation (i.e., dislocation motion), and occurs catastrophically along the low energy cleavage plane of GaN. First-principles calculations were used to show that the substitution of Si for Ga in the lattice causes only negligible changes in the lattice constant. The cracking is attributed to tensile stress in the film present at the growth temperature. The increase in tensile stress caused by Si doping is discussed in terms of a crystallite coalescence model.
Nanoindentation investigation of Ti/TiN multilayers films87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373450View Description Hide Description
The hardness of Ti/TiN nanolaminated films is investigated in this study. Monolithic Ti and TiN films and Ti/TiN multilayers were deposited on silicon substrates by radio-frequency sputtering. The period thickness of multilayers was decreased from 20 to 2.5 nm. Grazing x-ray reflectometry showed that the modulation of composition of Ti/TiN multilayers exists for all the period thickness considered. From nanoindentation measurements, we determined the hardness and Young's modulus of multilayers.Hardness increased with decreasing period thickness to go beyond the rule-of-mixture value for samples with period thickness of nm. The maximum hardness, 1.6 times higher than the value obtained by the rule of mixture, is obtained for nm. Our results are compared to a dislocation-based model previously introduced by Lehoczky.
Kinetics of the thermally and photoinduced solid state reaction of Ag with films87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373451View Description Hide Description
The kinetics of the solid state chemical reaction of silver with amorphousfilms in a conventional sandwich structure was measured by optically monitoring the change in thickness of the undoped chalcogenide. For the thermally stimulated process, the kinetics data indicate a two-stage process, with the second stage having a sublinear time dependence. The effect of broadband illumination is to reduce the activation energy by approximately one order of magnitude, but the photoinduced process still has two identifiable stages. In the case of the photostimulated process, rate coefficients and activation energies have been measured and the composition and structure of the reaction products have been determined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). The RBS spectra obtained at different stages of the photoinduced reaction process show a step-like form for the Ag concentration profile during the course of the reaction and indicated a homogeneous distribution of Ag in the final reaction products, the Ag concentration being 19.5 at. %.
Morphology of liquid microstructures on chemically patterned surfaces87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373452View Description Hide Description
We study the equilibrium conformations of liquid microstructures on flat but chemically heterogeneous substrates using energy minimization computations. The surfacepatterns, which establish regions of different surface energy, induce deformations of the liquid–solid contact line. Depending on the geometry, these deformations either promote or impede capillary breakup and bulge formation. The contact angles of the liquid on the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, as well as the pattern geometry and volume of liquid deposited, strongly affect the equilibrium shapes. Moreover, due to the small scale of the liquid features, the presence of chemical or topological surface defects significantly influence the final liquid shapes. Preliminary experiments with arrays of parallel hydrophilic strips produce shapes resembling the simulated forms. These encouraging results provide a basis for the development of high resolution lithography by direct wet printing.
Heterostructures in GaInP grown using a change in Te doping87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373453View Description Hide Description
In organometallic vapor phase epitaxy, changes in growth conditions can be used to modulate the extent of CuPt ordering and, hence, the band gapenergy of GaInP. One method is to add Te during growth. An increase in the band gapenergy of 0.1 eV due to a decrease in ordering has been obtained by increasing the input pressure of diethyltelluride from 0 to which corresponds to a doping concentration of This simple procedure offers an attractive method to growquantum wells(QWs) and superlattices, which are useful for band gap engineering, by modulating the input pressure of the Te precursor. Various heterostructures with abrupt interfaces were successfully grown with interruptions at the interfaces between the Te-doped and undoped GaInP layers. QWs as thin as 10 nm can be clearly seen from transmission electron microscopeimages.
In- and out-diffusion of oxygen during the buried-oxide formation in oxygen-implanted silicon87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373454View Description Hide Description
Formation mechanism of buried oxide in silicon wafers during the annealing process after oxygen implantation has been investigated by using Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. The implanted Si wafers were annealed at a different temperature, for a different time, and in a different atmosphere. We found that the implanted oxygen density decreased by the out-diffusion after a very short time at an elevated temperature. We also found that the in-diffusion of oxygen took place after a long time at the same temperature. The in- and out-diffusion behaviors clearly depended on the annealing atmosphere. This can be explained by taking account that the equilibrium surface concentration of oxygen differs between the annealing atmospheres.
Mechanical properties of xerogel silica films derived from stress versus temperature and cracking experiments87(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.373455View Description Hide Description
The biaxial modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion, and crack energy release rate of sol–gel derived silica, xerogel, films are presented. Using stress versus temperature measurements for xerogel on Si and quartz substrates, the biaxial modulus and linear thermal expansion coefficient of the film were determined. The film thickness at the onset of cracking and the corresponding stress were also found. For the critical thickness sample, the cracks initiated in the xerogel film and propagated into the Si substrate. The depth of the cracks in the substrate was roughly equal to the thickness of the film. From these data, the crack energy release rate for steady state channeling in the film was estimated; it was found to be roughly five times where is the reported surface energy of the film. This is an indication of a plastic zone at the crack tip.

F. M. Flasar (NASA/GSFC), CIRS Investigation Team
We summarize results on temperatures, winds, and composition of the Saturn system from measurements by the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) in the first year of the Cassini tour. Saturn's south polar stratosphere is surprisingly warm. Low-latitude zonal winds decay strongly with height in the stratosphere, and this could partially account for the smaller equatorial velocities reported from recent Hubble (and Cassini) images, compared to those derived earlier from Voyager. However, the features tracked in the later set would have to be more than 130 km higher in the stratosphere, if altitude effects alone are to explain the differences. Temperatures observed in Saturn's rings, at different phase and emission angles, suggest that the ring particles are slowly rotating. Diurnal temperature curves for Phoebe, Iaptetus, and Enceladus imply thermal inertias that are approximately half those of the Galilean satellites, indicating that the material just below the surfaces of the saturnian satellites is less consolidated. Titan's stratospheric zonal winds are greatest in its winter northern hemisphere. Together with the anomalous concentrations of several organic compounds in the north-polar region, this suggests an isolation of north polar air from that at low and southern latitudes, much as occurs in the winter polar regions of Earth.

Wayne Brady
Played: Steven Black in season 1's "The Source Awards"
Particularly in the series' early days, when Tracy could still have the occasional human moment, "30 Rock" did some brilliant, biting stuff about race relations and the clumsiness of white liberals in dealing with minorities. In "The Source Awards," the show brought in Brady — who, famously, was described on "Chappelle's Show" as someone whom white people love "because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X" — to play Tracy's business manager and Jack's latest attempt to fix up Liz. Steven turns out to be an unappealing clod who collects tote bags, but Liz is reluctant to stop dating him for fear of seeming racist. When she finally tries to break up with him, he refuses to believe that it could be for any other reason but his skin color, which prompts Liz to ask, "So what you're saying is any woman that doesn't like you is racist?" Steven, smug, replies, "No, no, no, no, no. Some women are gay." It's not as bold a piece of self-satire as the "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?" appearance with Chappelle in response to the earlier gag, but it's a fearless performance in one of the show's best, most biting episodes.

No matter what your race, sex, creed or color, you can still be successful in life. That was the overall theme Wednesday at Lincoln K-8 School in Warren, where students were treated to visits from some of Warren's most acclaimed community leaders in celebration of Black History Month.

Anthony Davis speaks to students Wednesday at Lincoln K-8 School in Warren.
In a different twist, students learned not only about the past, but also about the present.
"There is always going to be someone or something that tells you that you can't do what you want to do. You just be the person you are. Be the real you, and you will go far," district family engagement coordinator Anthony Davis said to students gathered in the school's cafetorium.
Davis was joined by the city's first African-American mayor, Doug Franklin; Inspiring Minds Executive Director Deryck Toles; Warren Board of Education President Andre Coleman; Warren probation officer Vincent Baugh; and 7th Ward Councilman Eddie Colbert, to name a few.
Superintendent Michael Notar, who presented the speakers, said the event helped to show students that there are people making a difference right here in Warren.
"Not only some of the past people, but what we have locally, to highlight some of the people in our current community, our current school district. It's educating our kids that we have some phenomenal people that are very successful. It kind of gives them a sense of direction that they can be successful, they can go somewhere," he said.
"In black history, you learn about African American history, so we're learning about African-Americans in our time, in our community," said eighth-grade student Jillian DiCesare, 13.
The students took notes as speakers visited classrooms to give them an overview on their history, achievements, struggles and triumphs. They will use their notes to write informative essays on the lives of the speakers as part of Common Core standards.
"These are people that play roles in our lives. I'm very excited to have (Warren board of education member) Regina Patterson. She is a very warm woman. She's very hard-working and I look up to her as an adult," said eighth-grade student Sharese Tucker, 14.
Other speakers included area pastors, police officers, scholars and officials.
Baugh told students his job is not to lock them up.
"My job is to do whatever I have to do to make sure you don't get in trouble again. We're not bad; we're here to help," he said.
Coleman read students a poem called "The Creation" by early civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson, after which he told them, "Dare to be great. We all have a purpose."
Davis said there are three things that everyone needs to be successful: a good character, determination and respect.
"(You have to say) I'm not going to quit, I'm not going to give up and I'm going to be respectful," he said.
Franklin told students there is greatness in all of them, and told them the day he took office as the first African American mayor of the city of Warren was one of the greatest days of his life - but with that title comes great responsibility.
Colbert said, "There's days when you don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But then we come here, we see you. We see the future."
