Lattice dynamical calculations for the Ta–W alloys by Engin Deligöz; Kemal Çolakoğlu; Yasemin Çiftçi (4867-4871).
Lattice dynamical calculations are performed on Ta–W alloys with bcc structure in various concentrations. We assume ion–ion interaction through the improved third-neighbor Clark–Gazis–Wallis (CGW) model. The theory has been applied to compute the dispersion curves, frequency spectra and lattice specific heat of the studied alloys. The obtained results are in good agreement with the available experimental ones.

Effect of system parameters on size distribution of 304 stainless steel particles produced by electrical discharge mechanism by Gokul Vasudevamurthy; Travis W. Knight (4872-4874).
An electrical discharge machine (EDM) can be used to produce Uranium Carbide (UC) microspheres. This material is useful for dispersed nuclear fuel fabrication. To obtain empirical data about the process parameters for UC modeling, 304 stainless steel (304 SS) was used to produce microspheres. Particle size effects were analyzed via three parameters; arc intensity, dielectric medium, and pulse width. Results indicate that the size and yield of the particles are dependent on all three parameters. The yield of larger particles increased with increasing arc current. Particle size distribution decreased with decreasing pulse width.

Influence of quenching rate on the crystallization behaviors of Mg63Ni22Pr15 metallic glass by Feng Xu; Yulei Du; Ping Gao; Zhida Han; Guang Chen (4875-4878).
The influence of the quenching rate (from 5 m/s to 40 m/s) on the crystallization behaviors of melt-spun Mg63Ni22Pr15 metallic glasses has been studied. The isochronal differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurement at 20 K/min shows that the transition temperatures increase with the quenching rate, while the parameters of the glass-forming ability keep constant. The kinetics of isothermal crystallization performed at 481 K within the supercooled liquid region is discussed with some nucleation and growth models. The fittings show that with decreasing quenching rate, the quenched-in nucleation becomes more important and even dominant in the crystallization process.

Grain boundary effects on the electrical and magnetic properties of Pr2/3Ba1/3MnO3 and La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 manganites by Neeraj Panwar; Vikram Sen; D.K. Pandya; S.K. Agarwal (4879-4883).
Electrical and magnetic properties of orthorhombic Pr2/3Ba1/3MnO3 (PBMO) and La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (LCMO) manganites with considerable difference in variance factors (σ 2) are reported here. PBMO with higher variance exhibits distinct intrinsic (due to grains) and extrinsic (due to grain boundaries) transitions in the resistivity behaviour. Extrinsic effects, however, are not observed in the lower σ 2 LCMO system. Low field magnetoresistivity (LFMR) data also substantiate these results. Increase in the density of states obtained through Mott's 3-D variable range hopping mechanism in the paramagnetic insulating regime indicates the suppression of magnetic domain scattering with applied magnetic field. Ferromagnetic metallic regime below the extrinsic transition in PBMO seems to emanate from the electron–magnon scattering process. LFMR at 77 K also points towards the higher canting of spins in the vicinity of grain boundary regions in PBMO compared to that in LCMO.

Microstructure and orientation relationships of Mg alloy matrix composite reinforced with SiC whiskers and B4C particles by Y.X. Chen; D.X. Li (4884-4886).
The microstructure and orientation relationships of ZK60A magnesium alloy matrix composite reinforced with SiC whiskers and B4C particles have been studied by means of transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy. MgO nanocrystalline particles are formed at SiC/Mg interfaces with a cube-on-cube orientation relationship with SiC whiskers. MgB2 nanorods are formed near the B4C particles. Two types of orientation relationships between the SiC whisker and Mg are observed, which are [1¯11]SiC|| [0001]Mg and (022¯)SiC|| (112¯0)Mg, and [1¯11]SiC|| [112¯0]Mg and (022¯)SiC|| (011¯2)Mg. Geometrically, [1¯11]SiC|| [0001]Mg and (022¯)SiC|| (112¯0)Mg is more favorable than [1¯11]SiC|| [112¯0]Mg and (022¯)SiC|| (011¯2)Mg.

Synthesis of inorganic fullerene-like MoS2 nanoparticles by a facile method by Kai Du; Wuyou Fu; Ronghui Wei; Haibin Yang; Shikai Liu; Shidan Yu; Guangtian Zou (4887-4889).
A facile and low-cost synthesis route was used to synthesize inorganic fullerene-like (IF) MoS2 nanoparticles by reaction of sulfur powder and ammonium molybdate in a hydrogen atmosphere at 600 °C. As-synthesized IF-MoS2 nanoparticles are of a closed hollow cage structure with size of 10–20 nm. Nanowires and nanotubes were also obtained at the same annealing temperature. The composition, structure, and morphology of the products were characterized by XRD, Raman, and TEM and the possible growth mechanism is proposed.

Synthesis novel multi-petals ZnO nano-structure by a cyclodextrin assisted solution route by Bin Zhao; Huilan Chen (4890-4893).
Multi-petals ZnO nano-structure has been directly prepared through a facile solution route with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) assistance. The product was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The results indicate that this ZnO nano-structure consists of several petals, and each petal is composed of many little rods. The rods prefer to grow along the [0001] direction (+c axis) and lay parallel, and β-CD plays a crucial role in forming such novel structure. If not using β-CD in the preparation process, only larger rods could be obtained. Furthermore, the possible formation mechanism for this multi-petals nano-structure is also discussed.

Synthesis of sphere-like Co3O4 nanocrystals via a simple polyol route by Jing Jiang; Liangchao Li (4894-4896).
A simple polyol method was developed to synthesize uniform sphere-like Co3O4 nanocrystals in ethylene glycol. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron diffraction (ED) showed that the as-prepared sample was indexed as the cubic spinel structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the Co3O4 nanocrystals were spherical with the crystallite size in the range of 90–110 nm. Infrared spectra and Raman spectra confirmed the formation of the Co3O4 nanocrystals. The magnetic properties of the Co3O4 nanocrystals were measured by using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, which showed that the as-prepared sample exhibited a tiny hysteresis loop with the magnetization value of 2.4 emu/g and the coercivity of 110 Oe.

Microstructure and electric properties of (104)/(014)-oriented Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 films on Pt (111)/Ti/SiO2/Si by sol–gel method by X.Q. Chen; Y. Qiao; X.L. Liu; C.J. Lu; Gwenael Le Rhun; Stephan Senz; Dietrich Hesse (4897-4900).
Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNdT) thin films with predominant (104)/(014) orientation were fabricated directly on (111)Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates through a sol–gel process. The volume fraction of (104)/(014)-oriented grains in the film was estimated to be about 65% according to X-ray pole figure. The BNdT film is dense and uniform and consists of columnar grains penetrating the whole film thickness. The (104)/(014)-oriented BNdT film capacitors showed excellent ferroelectric properties with 2P r = 46.4 μC/cm2 and E c ≈ 140 kV/cm. The films also exhibit excellent piezoelectric property, with high piezoelectric coefficient d 33 ≈ 17 pm/V.

Preparation and tensile properties of amorphous Fe78Si9B13/nano-Ni laminated composite by X.F. Li; K.F. Zhang; G.F. Wang (4901-4905).
Amorphous Fe78Si9B13/nano-Ni laminated composite was prepared by electrodeposition method. The tensile properties of laminated composite at room temperature were examined. The laminated composite exhibits a very high tensile strength and reasonable tensile elongation. This is attributed to a good bonding between amorphous Fe78Si9B13 layer and nano-Ni layers. The amorphous layer can deform in conformity with Ni layers and be significantly stretched without fracture. The apparent surface energy γ f of amorphous Fe78Si9B13 ribbon in the laminated composite is 7 times larger than γ f of amorphous ribbon in monolithic form. The isostrain model may be insufficient to explain the tensile behavior of the laminated composite.

A facile synthetic route to aqueous dispersions of silver nanoparticles by Tom Hasell; Jixin Yang; Wenxin Wang; Paul D. Brown; Steven M. Howdle (4906-4910).
Stable aqueous dispersions of silver nanoparticles have been synthesized from an organometallic precursor dissolved in an organic phase. Hydrogen gas is used to reduce the precursor to form silver nanoparticles which spontaneously transfer into an immiscible aqueous phase where they are stabilized. This route provides a simple pathway for the preparation of aqueous nanoparticle solutions and avoids production of the inorganic ions that are usually associated with aqueous methods. The effectiveness of a variety of aqueous stabilizing agents is evaluated. All products show plasmon absorption bands characteristic of silver nanoparticles and transmission electron microscopy reveals most particles to be below 40 nm in diameter.

Alternating-layered spherulites in thin-film poly(trimethylene terephthalate) by stepwise crystallization schemes by Yu-Fan Chen; E.M. Woo; Pi-Ling Wu (4911-4915).
Structuring of multi-layered spherulites in aryl polyester of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) by stepwise crystallization was attempted. Characterization of feasibility was performed by polarized-light microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Two- or three-layered spherulites could be developed in PTT by subjecting to stepwise crystallization. Sequence and number of layers in spherulites can be designed by altering the steps of temperatures with proper holding time. Time must be allocated properly in the multiple steps if three different textures are to be structured into one single PTT spherulite by stepwise crystallization. Coexistence of multiple lamellar thicknesses and various degrees of crystal perfection were supported by DSC results. The various crystalline regions of the layered spherulites in PTT develop upon stepwise crystallization exhibit the same unit cell as demonstrated by WAXD crystallographs.

Preparation and properties of Ti/SnO2–Sb2O5 electrodes by electrodeposition by Hai-yang Ding; Yu-jie Feng; Jun-feng Liu (4920-4923).
Sb and Sn coatings were deposited on Ti substrate by the method of cathode deposition, and the Ti/SnO2–Sb2O5 electrodes were obtained by annealing at different temperatures for 3 h. Ti/SnO2–Sb2O5 coating was characterized using technique such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ti/SnO2–Sb2O5 electrode calcined at 550 °C exhibits the best catalytic capacity. Ti/SnO2–Sb2O5 electrode obtained by electrodeposition had longer service life and faster degradation capacity compared with that obtained by dip-coating. Accelerated service life tests were carried out in 0.5 mol L− 1 H2SO4 solution with the current density of 100 mA cm− 2. Service life of Ti/SnO2–Sb2O5 electrode prepared in present study was 15 h, and it was only 0.14 h for Ti/SnO2–Sb2O5 electrode obtained by dip-coating.

Synthesis and characterization of Ba2YSbO6 nanoparticles through a modified combustion process by C. Vijayakumar; H. Padma Kumar; Jijimon K. Thomas; P.R.S. Wariar; J. Koshy (4924-4927).
Nanoparticles of Yttrium Barium Antimonate (Ba2YSbO6), a complex perovskite ceramic oxide have been synthesized using an auto ignition combustion process for the first time. The particle size and properties of the nanocrystals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The XRD studies have shown that the as-prepared powder is phase pure Ba2YSbO6 and has a complex cubic perovskite (A2BB'O6) crystalline structure with lattice constant a = 8.402 Å. Transmission electron microscopy study has shown that the particle size of the as-prepared powder was in the range 20–50 nm. The nanocrystals of Ba2YSbO6 synthesized by the combustion technique could be sintered to 97% of the theoretical density at a temperature of 1550 °C for 4 h. The combustion synthesis has a definite advantage that the phase pure Ba2YSbO6 nanopowder could be obtained by a single step process without the need of a calcination step.

Structure and magnetic properties of FeCo–SiO2 nanocomposite synthesized by a novel wet chemical method by Xuegang Lu; Gongying Liang; Yumei Zhang (4928-4931).
A novel soft magnetic nanocomposite with FeCo particles encapsulated by amorphous SiO2 was synthesized using a co-precipitation combined H2 reduction method. The saturation magnetization of the (Fe70Co30)90/(SiO2)10 nanocomposite is as high as 200 emu/g, which is 4–5 times larger than that of traditional spinel ferrites. The frequency dependence of the complex initial permeability is intensely dependent upon the content of SiO2 insulating phase. With increasing the content of SiO2 to 10 wt.%, the cut-off frequency is drastically increased to over 1 GHz. The results show that a new high-frequency soft magnetic material with high saturation magnetization (M s) can be achieved by introducing FeCo/SiO2 nanocomposite.

Crystallization kinetics and high-resolution X-ray diffraction analysis on nonlinear optical l-threonine single crystals by G. Ramesh Kumar; S. Gokul Raj; Thenneti Raghavalu; V. Mathivanan; M. Kovendhan; G. Bhagavannarayana; R. Mohan (4932-4936).
Crystallization parameters such as critical radius, critical free energy and volume free energy change have been evaluated for l-threonine single crystals using homogeneous nucleation theory. Metastable zone width and induction period measurements have been carried out experimentally. Interfacial energy values for the aqueous solution of l-threonine were also calculated from the solubility data. Optimization of growth parameters has been tried for bulk crystal growth and it has been discussed in detail. The crystalline quality of the bulk samples grown at different pH values have been tested by high-resolution X-ray diffraction analysis.

Size-controllable synthesis of calcium carbonate nanoparticles using aqueous foam films as templates by Feng Guo; Ying Li; Hong-Xia Xu; Guo-Qing Zhao; Xiu-Juan He (4937-4939).
A new method for the synthesis of calcium carbonate nanoparticles using two types of foam which are separately stabilized by surfactants with opposite change has been described here. In detail, one type of foam is formed by the aqueous solution of CaCl2 which contains the anionic surfactant alkyl polyoxyethylene alcohol sulfate sodium (AES) and the other is formed by the aqueous solution of Na2CO3 and the cationic surfactant alkyl polyoxyethylene quaternary ammonium chloride (AEAC). Two types of foam contact each other in a specially designed apparatus after draining completely, then Ca2+ and CO3 2− entrapped by the surfactant layers at the thin borders between the foam bubbles react and result in the generation of CaCO3 nanoparticles. TEM determination showed that perfect mono-dispersed spherical nanoparticles were obtained and the size of particles can be conveniently controlled by changing the concentration of CaCl2 and Na2CO3. Also, the mechanism leading to the synthesis of CaCO3 nanoparticles was discussed in detail.

Synthesis of binary and triple carbon nanotubes over Ni/Cu/Al2O3 catalyst by chemical vapor deposition by Chunnian He; Naiqin Zhao; Chunsheng Shi; Xiwen Du; Jiajun Li (4940-4943).
Novel binary and triple carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with one common catalytic particle encapsulated have been synthesized using Ni/Cu/Al2O3 catalyst, which was produced by a sol–gel method. But when using Ni/Al2O3 as catalyst, a mass of common CNTs, that is, one CNT with one catalytic particle encapsulated, was obtained. The results showed that copper-element doping to the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst played a key role in the synthesis of CNTs, signifying a novel approach to modify the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. Based on the transmission electron microscopy observations, a simple growth mechanism was developed to describe the growth of the binary or triple CNTs, which could be well explained by a diffusion segregation process.

Synthesis of CdS nanorods by reacting CdCl2 nanorods with H2S at room temperature by Qingchun Zhao; Wenzong Xu; Ling Xu (4944-4946).
We report the synthesis of CdS nanorods by reacting CdCl2 nanorods with H2S at room temperature. The preparation method was based on CdCl2 nanorods employed as chemical template. The length and the diameter of the obtained CdS nanorods are about tens micron and 120−300 nm, respectively. The phase and the crystallographic structure of the products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The composition of the products was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Preparation of polyaniline-Al2O3 composites nanofibers with controllable conductivity by Geik Ling Teoh; Kong Yong Liew; Wan A.K. Mahmood (4947-4949).
Conducting polyaniline-Al2O3 composite nanofibers with varying conductivity was prepared by seeding with Al2O3 nanofibers and oxidative polymerization of aniline. TEM and FESEM demonstrated clearly the nanofibers of PANI-Al2O3 with average diameters of mean diameters of 37–52 nm and lengths of up to μm. The XRD diffractograms indicated that the nanocomposite has the emeraldine structure. The DSC and the FTIR studies showed that the nanocomposite was formed from interaction between the polymer and the Al2O3. The conductivity of the composite decreased with an increase in the Al2O3 content incorporated.

Nonlinear current–voltage properties and accelerated aging behavior of ZPCCL-based varistors with sintering temperature by Choon-Woo Nahm (4950-4953).
The nonlinear electrical properties and accelerated aging behavior of the varistors, which are composed of ZnO–Pr6O11–CoO–Cr2O3–La2O3 (ZPCCL)-based ceramics, were investigated for different sintering temperatures. The increase of sintering temperature led to more densified ceramics, whereas it decreased the nonlinear properties and varistor voltage. The highest nonlinearity of varistors was obtained from sintering temperature of 1240 °C, in which the nonlinear coefficient is 79.4 and the leakage current is 0.3 μA. However, the highest stability of varistors was obtained from sintering temperature of 1260 °C, in which the %ΔV 1 mA is + 1.9%, the %Δα is − 10.6%, and the %ΔI L is + 20% for stress state of 95 V 1 mA/150 °C/24 h.

Structural and optical properties of single-crystalline ultraviolet-emitting needle-shaped ZnO nanowires by Ahmad Umar; S.H. Kim; J.H. Kim; Y.K. Park; Y.B. Hahn (4954-4958).
Well-crystallized with excellent optical properties, needle-shaped ZnO nanowires have been synthesized on silicon substrate in a high density via the thermal evaporation of metallic zinc powder without the use of catalysts or additives. Extensive structural analysis showed that the grown nanowires are highly crystalline with the wurtzite hexagonal phase, grown along the [0001] in the c-axis direction. The presence of an optical-phonon E 2 mode in Raman spectrum at 437 cm− 1 and sharp and strong UV emission at 379 nm with no green emission in the room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum confirms good crystallinity with the excellent optical properties for the deposited nanowires.

Self-assembled microspheres of glucose-containing polyaniline by alkali-guided method by E. Jin; Xing Wang; Na Liu; Wanjin Zhang (4959-4962).
Glucose-containing polyaniline (PANI) microspheres were prepared via a self-assembly process which started in alkaline solution by the oxidative polymerization of N-glucosylaniline (G-An). The products were characterized by SEM, TEM, FT-IR, UV–Vis, 1H NMR and GPC measurements. It was found that the polymerization of G-An by alkali-guided method gave complicated structures and both the pH value and the dose of oxidant could affect the morphology of the product.

Phase transformation in Cu–Cr–Zr–Mg alloy by Juanhua Su; Ping Liu; Hejun Li; Fengzhang Ren; Qiming Dong (4963-4966).
After solid solution treatment, the effects of aging processes on the microstructure and electrical conductivity of Cu–Cr–Zr–Mg lead frame alloy were investigated in order to determine the phase transformation and the time–temperature-transformation (TTT) behavior. The results show that aged at 470 °C the fine precipitation of an ordered CrCu2(Zr,Mg) phase is found in copper matrix as well as fine Cr and Cu4Zr, aged at 550 °C the phase CrCu2(Zr,Mg) is decomposed into Cu4Zr and Cr phase, aged at 600 °C the precipitates is bcc Cr only. The phase transformation kinetics equation was deduced from the Avrami empirical formula based on the linear relationship between the electrical conductivity and the volume fraction of the phase transformation.

Optical and nonlinear electrical properties of SnO2–polyaniline nanocomposites by Kousik Dutta; S.K. De (4967-4971).
Nanostructured tin dioxide (SnO2) is synthesized in the form of colloidal sol. Aniline monomer is polymerized in colloidal sol of SnO2 to prepare inorganic–organic hybrid nanocomposites. Optical band gap increases from 3.74 eV to 4.23 eV with increase of polyaniline concentration. The observed nonlinear current–voltage characteristics are satisfactorily explained using the Schottky type barriers. The temperature dependence of conductivity reveals three dimensional Mott's hopping process.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The man police say shot a hospital security guard last month faces life in prison after a district court judge sent the attempted murder case to felony court for trial.
Horace Demario Collins, 33, was in Grand Rapids District Court Friday, July 11, where he faces charges as a fourth-offense habitual offender, which could greatly enhance his sentence on a charge that already carries a potential punishment of life in prison.
On June 22, Mitchell Robert Campbell, a security officer working in the Spectrum Butterworth Hospital parking ramp, was shot as Collins was allegedly breaking into a vehicle that was parked in the ramp, police said.
The shooting occurred just after 11 p.m. at Michigan Street and Lafayette Avenue, outside of Parking Ramp 7.
Police said Campbell was walking through the parking structure on his rounds when he came upon a man going through vehicles and removing items therein.
The security officer confronted Collins, who began to flee when Campbell told him to stop. The thief then pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the officer and fired one shot, investigators said. The security officer was treated for his injuries and released.

Campbell, on Friday, appeared in court and walked with a cane. Doctors have told him he will recover fully from his injuries.
"I'm going to be fine," Campbell said. He said he was instructed by Spectrum Health not to discuss the incident.
Collins was arrested on an unrelated charge when police determined he was a suspect in the shooting where security camera were in use.
During the probable cause hearing Friday before Judge Michael Christensen, Collins' attorney Damian Nunzio asked to waive the hearing in order to negotiate a plea agreement with the Kent County prosecutor.
The case moves to Kent County Circuit Court before Judge James Robert Redford on charges of assault with intent to murder, being a felon carrying a concealed weapon and felony use of a firearm. Collins faces life in prison on top of two years for the firearms charges.
Collins has previous convictions for larceny, auto theft, resisting police, receiving and concealing a stolen auto, prison escape and fleeing police, according to Michigan Department of Corrections records.
Collins remains in the Kent County Jail without bond.

text: Here is my take on it: your will be healthy when you feel happy and energetic, bursting in sporadic movement. You will not be worried when, what exactly and how much you are eating and how much you exscersising, and if it is the bestest thing. You will get hungry, and eat with gusto, but won't have an impulse to extend the meal indefinetly. You will sleep through the night, not lingering before going to bed and not twisting an turning for half a night. Basically, you will feel and act like a kid. Once you achieve that, take a picture... ideal you. More likely than not it won't be ripped, but if you are happy, you won't care...My problem with this is, as I said before, how are you supposed to know if you are there? Or if you need to add in more or less exercise, be more or less strict with your diet, etc?

The initial purpose of an experimental program of close personalized supervision of ward patients by attending physicians in addition to house staff in a teaching hospital was to determine whether such personalized care would raise the quality of care and lower the cost and length of stay. By subjective measurements, an improvement in the quality of care was perceived. However, neither length of stay nor hospital charges were reduced when compared to a control population. Moreover, the data suggest that auditing the length of stay and hospital charges does not necessarily measure the quality of medical care.

BEIJING - Rebecca Soni shook off the first-time Olympian jitters, dove into the water and overcame her first obstacle by advancing to tonight's 100-meter breaststroke semifinals in what could turn into a memorable fortnight for the Plainsboro native. Soni finished with the fourth best time in the seven preliminary heats -- 1 minutes, 7.44 seconds -- to earn one of the 16 semifinal spots.
"I felt pretty good for a prelim swim," said Soni, who will swim in the semifinals Monday morning local time. "I was probably a little more nervous at Trials, but definitely (I was nervous). It's been a pretty cool experience so far."
Soni, who swims for Southern California, was added to the event after training partner Jessica Hardy withdrew earlier this month because of a failed drug test. Soni, who finished fourth in the 100 breast at Olympic Trials, replaced Hardy even though Tara Kirk finished third in the event at Trials. Kirk was not added to the roster as an alternate by USA Swimming.
Soni said that she has spoken to Hardy and learned from Kirk's friends that she wished her luck.
"It's a pretty awkward situation, but I'm just doing what I'm told to do," Soni said.
The 21-year-old admitted that she felt "maybe a little bit" more pressure due to the controversy surrounding the circumstances.
"I'm just looking at it (like) I'm getting the (chance) to do this and use it to my advantage," she said.

Survivors – Season 1
After a mutated version of the flu virus wreaks havoc all over the world, a couple of survivors meet up and decide to stick together in a world that has become hostile to mankind and where obvious luxuries like clean running water and electricity are suddenly not so obvious anymore.
Sound and Vision:
The image looks very realistic but cold and draft to support the atmosphere of a world that has gone to pieces. Other scenes on the other hand suddenly have warm colors and give a false feeling of security. There's some grain present here and there as well as some minor edge enhancement but overall the quality is decent.
The 5.1 soundtrack does its job nicely with some use of the surround speakers and subwoofer but it's quite strange that in fact the intro trailer uses the sound system more than the series itself. During the intro, you tend to want to turn the volume down, but then when the actual episode starts you quickly notice that the volume is toned down. Not quite as balanced as we would like.
Survivors is painfully relevant with the Mexican flu that caused such a panic last year but luckily we survived that and can now check out this series on DVD and see what could have happened. The series takes a number of very different characters and puts them together in a hostile world where people don't always mean to do good and even if they do, they don't always do it in the right way. Although it's sci-fi, it's also a drama that gives a different view on people's personality and that isn't always so fantastic. The actors have been well-cast and especially Max Beesley, who we've seen previously as a joyfull manager in Hotel Babylon, impresses with his performance of a criminal and a killer.
What makes Survivors interesting to watch is the interaction between the lead characters and the way they cope with what's going on taking into account their different backgrounds and problems. If this would have been a US production with bigger budgets, I'm sure it would have been a worldwide success and be able to compete with blockbuster series like Lost or Heroes. So, still wondering whether this is worth purchasing? Wonder no more and just get it.

Sharon Gibala
Maryland native Sharon Gibala launched WJZ 13 Traffic Control in October 2005, reporting from state-of-the-art facilities on traffic conditions affecting the millions of travelers who annually navigate the state's highways.
She was hired full-time by Maryland's News Station in August 2005 after freelancing for WJZ as a news reporter for a little more than a year.
Viewers count on Sharon weekday mornings when she joins Don Scott and Marty Bass on WJZ's morning shows, delivering reports on road conditions and commuter traffic patterns that help them better plan their days.
Sharon returns during afternoon drive time, reporting on breaking traffic conditions for the station's 4 and 5 p.m. newscasts. In addition, she works Sunday mornings as a general assignment reporter, appearing live on WJZ's morning news program from various locations in and around Maryland.
Prior to joining WJZ, Sharon worked in Austin, Texas as a news reporter for four years, covering the Williamson County beat and sometimes filling in on the anchor desk. Sharon often covered breaking news situations from an aerial position in the station's news chopper. Earlier in her career, she was in Hagerstown, Md. working as a general assignment reporter and fill-in anchor. Sharon's first job in news was as an assignment editor and associate producer for another Baltimore station.

Art to tug the heart strings
Some literary as well as visual art from the heart will be featured in Red Deer during the First Friday gallery openings for February.
With Valentine's Day in mind, authors Kimmy Beach, from Red Deer, and Fran Kimmel, from Lacombe, will read about love in its various guises from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday at the Kiwanis Gallery in the Red Deer Public Library. Refreshments will be served and visual art will also be shown from the library's Borrowing Art lending program.
Beach will read from her latest book of poetry inspired by superspy James Bond, The Last Temptation of Bond, which was published by the University of Alberta Press. Beach, who has been writer-in-residence for writers' guilds in Alberta and Saskatchewan, will also read some selections from her four other books: Nice Day for Murder: Poems for Jimmy Cagney, Alarum Within: Theatre Poems, Fake Paul and In Cars.
Kimmel, a CBC literary award finalist and Journey Prize nominee, will read excerpts from her debut novel, The Shore Girl, published by NeWest Press. It has a theme of dealing with the weight of family and the past.
Some more Art from the Heart will be exhibited at The Hub on Ross. Ceramicist Judy Weismiller, who taught art at Alberta Hospital Ponoka (now the Centennial Centre), will be exhibiting works influenced by her move to Red Deer in 2010.

'People of the Ballot' Seek Office Across SoCal
Beverly Hills gave America its first Iranian Jewish mayor two years ago, but is the city — and the country — ready for its first sabra public official?
Absolutely, said Nili Nathan (nee Sinai), born in Ramat Gan, adjoining Tel Aviv, the granddaughter of Yemenite Jews who arrived in Palestine in the early 1900s.
Her father, a tile designer and craftsman, fought with the British army in World War II, and her mother was a sergeant with the Haganah during the War of Independence, Nathan recalled. When she was 3, the family moved to the United States.
Now 52, Nathan, a self-made businesswoman with management, banking, investment and marketing experience, is the divorced mother of 6-year-old Hana, an adopted Chinese girl.
Nathan is one of 11 candidates, nine of them Jewish, running for three contested spots on the five-person Beverly Hills City Council, with March 3 the election date.
She hopes that her business experience will appeal to voters at a time when even the fabled golden ghetto is feeling the pinch of the economic downturn. The municipal budget is in the red, retail sales on Rodeo Drive are down 20 percent and there are fewer tourists and conventions booking hotel rooms, Nathan reported.
In addition, she is counting on her self-confidence, which she acknowledges borders on chutzpah, and her truthfulness to carry her to victory. "People are hungry for an honest broker," she said.
Among the 11 candidates, the top three vote getters will become City Council members, and Nathan faces some rough electioneering.
Despite the city's glitz and wealth, its politics are "down and dirty," said John Seitz, senior editor of the Beverly Hills Courier, with taxes and commercial development as the current hot-button issues.
The best-known candidate name in the wider Jewish community is Virginia A. Maas, a former president of Temple Beth Am and of the L.A. Jewish Community Centers Association. Barry Brucker and Linda Briskman, two strong incumbents, are running for reelection.
Two Iranian Jewish candidates, Michael Hakim and Fran Cohen, are vying to join City Councilman Jimmy Delshad, who completed his one-year term as mayor, a position that rotates among those on the council. The three other Jewish candidates in the Beverly Hills City Council race are John A. Mirish, Abraham Ross and Richard Stone.
Among 35,000 Beverly Hills residents, approximately 8,000 are Iranian Jews, and they have proven their political organizing skills (see "Candidates Seeking Out Support of Iranian Jews" by Karmel Melamed, Jewish Journal, Feb. 6).
Moving beyond Beverly Hills to the city and county of Los Angeles, there is a flurry of political hopefuls, to prove that Jews are rapidly becoming the People of the Ballot, among them David "Zuma Dogg" Saltsburg and "Surfing Rabbi" Nachum Shifren.
In the epicenter of Jewish Los Angeles, five out of six candidates running for City Council in the Fifth District are Jewish (see "The Fifth District Race: You Can't Be Too Jewish" by Tom Tugend, Jewish Journal, Feb. 13).
Following the order of the printed March 3 sample ballot, in the mayor's race none of the nine other candidates is expected to seriously threaten incumbent Antonio Villaraigosa running for his second term.
Nevertheless, Saltsburg, best known for his public access cable show and as a City Hall gadfly, is giving it a try. In an interview, Saltsburg revealed that he celebrated his bar mitzvah in his native Cleveland and that he was for quality control and against inefficiency in local government.
In the more competitive race for city attorney, Jack Weiss, after serving eight years as Fifth District city councilman, is facing tough opposition, mainly from former L.A. Deputy District Attorney Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich.
Few question Weiss' intelligence, drive and toughness or his political support for the growth of Jewish institutions anywhere in Los Angeles, though in the process he has alienated many Jewish and other resident constituents.
Weiss is backed by the Los Angeles Democratic Party, while Trutanich, a man of Croatian and Italian descent and a former gang prosecutor, has been endorsed by the Los Angeles Times.
To complicate matters further for Weiss and voters, also running is Noel Weiss — no relation, though Noel's father was also named Jack. Noel Weiss described himself as a community service lawyer, whose children celebrated their b'nai mitzvah at Adat Shalom.
A third Jewish candidate in the race is David Berger, a deputy district attorney and criminal prosecutor whose family attends Shir Shalom in Santa Monica.
No Jewish candidates are running for city controller.
Making his second run for the city council seat in the Third District against incumbent Dennis Zine is Jeff Bornstein, the owner of a small audio and video business, who opposes over-development in the western San Fernando Valley.
In the 13th Council District, between downtown and Hollywood, Gary Shlossberg has his work cut out in challenging Eric Garcetti, council president. The challenger is an attorney for the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice and an active supporter of the Progressive Jewish Alliance.
Among candidates competing for slots on the Los Angeles Community College District's Board of Trustees, incumbent Nancy Pearlman is defending Seat No. 6 against five opponents.
Voters in the 26th State Senate District, encompassing Culver City, Marina del Rey, Venice and parts of West Los Angeles, will have a chance to vote again in a March 24 primary to replace Mark Ridley-Thomas, who was elected to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The district's population forms an ethnic mosaic, with Latinos the largest group, followed by African Americans and Jews.
In the past, though, the seat has been held by African Americans, a tradition two strong Democrat contenders, Assemblymen Curren Price (51st District) and Mike Davis (48th District) are trying to continue.
However, there are also two Jewish hopefuls in the field: Jonathan Friedman and Shifren.
Friedman is a chartered financial analyst who serves on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee national executive committee and is active in Democrats for Israel.
Shifren, the self-styled "Surfing Rabbi," who runs a surfing school and is a longtime teacher in — and harsh critic of — the Los Angeles public school system. He is the author of "Kill Your Teacher: Corruption and Racism in Los Angeles City Schools" and "Surfing Rabbi: A Kabbalistic Quest for Soul." Shifren has been endorsed by the county Republican Party.

Ivy had a little bit of a runny nose yesterday morning so I decided to keep her out of the church nursery. I hadn't had her in the service with me in a long time (if you only could have seen her dancing to the music in the mei tai).
I kept her in the sling, and was thankful she could watch us worship in church.
And such innocence, such a free-child, she raised her hands and clapped along.
When the message started I stood in the back and nursed her to sleep (it's easier that way in the mei tai, for me.)
Finding our new church home is like finally locating the missing piece to a puzzle [of life.] I didn't realize how awkward I was feeling in my own skin, not having the right fit of church family. We have it now.
And not just because some people there wear their babies (but it's a nice perk.)
Missio Dei is where we go to church.
Baby So Smart is the [absolute favorite] mei tai I'm wearing (given to me as a gift.)

Generational Workers = Higher Performance
Peggy M. Pound
Executive Vice President
The Picus Group
Las Vegas, Nevada
Member, APWA Membership Committee
Why don't they have a work ethic? Why can't they follow my lead? These are questions often asked by mature, experienced managers of their younger employees. But, is it really a matter of "work ethic" or the inability to follow a lead...or is it simply a lack of understanding between generations? The following may help you to understand the mindset and differences between generations in the workplace and quite possibly allow you to better define the generations that work for you and/or the person for whom you work.
To identify the four different generation groups that interact daily in the current business world, we need to define them.
By learning about generational issues you begin to understand what motivates your employees at different ages and stages of their careers. Knowing the way each of the above generations think, their personal values, and their goals can improve communication and make the workplace more positive and the overall business more successful as well. Focusing on each group individually, you will realize the importance of proper communication based on the audience. You will also learn that when all else fails, you must ask and listen.
A typical example would be when you say to a Baby Boomer, "We need to get this project done," they hear it as a direction. On the other hand, when you say the same thing to a GenX'er, they hear it as an observation. By understanding how each generation thinks, you can tailor your directions to achieve the desired results.
This particular group makes up about 15% of the workforce and is dedicated to work and family. Their dedication is proven, as they tend to stay put in their jobs and usually retire after 30 years. A Veteran's view of authority is respectful, they follow leadership by authority, and they make a lot of personal sacrifices in relationships. Their main turnoff is vulgarity. This group tends to be very predictable and will do whatever it takes to get ahead. Finally, although recognition is not expected with the Veteran group, it is appreciated.
Baby Boomers
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, almost half of the active labor force in the United States is made up of this group. The Baby Boomers' thinking and project approaches are a little less grounded. They typically believe that more experience brings rewards and that all aspects of life are work. The dedication is not as evident as with the Veterans as they need to move around to keep happy. They have a hard time balancing work and life issues and keep themselves on a schedule by carrying day timers or palm pilots. The characteristics of this group seem to be more on the selfish side. Their outlook is optimistic; they are driven in their work; they have a love/hate view of authority; and they follow leadership by consensus. In relationships they focus more on personal gratification and their main turnoff is political incorrectness.
A much smaller population than the Baby Boomer generation, the GenX'ers currently make up about one-third of the U.S. workforce. Generally this group's main focus is to be on top. They are constantly educating themselves to stay ahead of the game; they believe stability equals boredom and that no sacrifice is acceptable. The GenX'ers' characteristics are easily recognizable as their outlook is skeptical; their work ethic is balanced; they are unimpressed in their view of authority; they follow leadership by competence; in relationships they are reluctant to commit; and their main turnoff is clich'/hype.
Since most members of this generation are still in school, they don't yet make up a large portion of the U.S. workforce. But they will eventually rival the Baby Boomers in sheer numbers. As we look at their cultural thinking, we see a group that seems to have pulled it together and found a good balance. They are politically aware and prove it by registering to vote in larger numbers. This group would rather spend quality time with family and friends playing board games than going out clubbing and partying. They believe less is more and tend to put more focus on family life. The characteristics of this group are definitely more positive compared to the previous three groups. Their outlook is hopeful; they are determined in their work ethic; they are polite in their view of authority; they follow leadership by pulling together; in relationships they are inclusive; and their main turnoff is promiscuity.
To return to our example above, when you say to a Baby Boomer, "We need to get this project done," they hear it as a direction. By giving a GenX'er more direct instructions, including some direction on how the project is to be accomplished and a time frame for completion, the statement becomes an assigned task rather than an observation.
Depending on the audience, what you say can be interpreted many ways. Remember, it is important to be aware of what you say and to whom you are saying it. It is important to know the people around you, where they come from and what they are about. By doing so you not only improve your own communication skills but you learn more about people in general. Bottom line: The main thing to remember is that communication is key and it can unlock a whole new world, one full of mutual respect, understanding and a happy workplace. These are guidelines, not absolutes, and should be used to develop an understanding of your employees.

Peter Bogdanovich, 49, has married the younger sister of Dorothy Stratten, the Playboy playmate to whom he was romantically linked before her murder in 1980, the movie director's lawyer disclosed yesterday. The attorney said his client's marriage to Louise Hoogstratten, 20, took place Friday near Vancouver, Canada. Louise's mother, Nelly Hoogstratten, said she had not been told about the wedding. "I've cried before," she said, "and I cry now
because I've lost another daughter." Dorothy Stratten, the subject of Bogdanovich's book The Killing of the Unicorn: Dorothy Stratten 1960-1980 and the 1983 movie Star 80, was killed by her ex-husband, Paul Snider, when he found out that she was having an affair with Bogdanovich. Several years ago Louise Hoogstratten sued Hugh Hefner and her stepfather, Burl Eldridge, for telling reporters that Bogdanovich seduced her when she was 13 and that he paid for her to have plastic surgery so that she would look more like her dead sister. She dropped the lawsuit in August 1985.

UStudy aims to provide Educational Content for Polytechnic College students based on the latest K Scheme syllabus of Tamil Nadu.
A successive approximation ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that converts a continuous analog waveform into a discrete digital representation via a binary search through all possible quantization levels before finally converging upon a digital output for each conversion.
One method of addressing the digital ramp ADC's shortcomings is the so-called successive-approximation ADC. The only change in this design is a very special counter circuit known as a successive-approximation register. Instead of counting up in binary sequence, this register counts by trying all values of bits starting with the most-significant bit and finishing at the least-significant bit.
Throughout the count process, the register monitors the comparator's output to see if the binary count is less than or greater than the analog signal input, adjusting the bit values accordingly. The way the register counts is identical to the "trial-and-fit" method of decimal-to-binary conversion, whereby different values of bits are tried from MSB to LSB to get a binary number that equals the original decimal number.
The advantage to this counting strategy is much faster results: the DAC output converges on the analog signal input in much larger steps than with the 0-to-full count sequence of a regular counter.
It should be noted that the SAR is generally capable of outputting the binary number in serial (one bit at a time) format, thus eliminating the need for a shift register. Plotted over time, the operation of a successive-approximation ADC looks like this:

Temperatures expected to soar into 70s this week before next cold front arrives Friday
Staff writer Mia Castillo reports:
This week will feel more like mid-April than January as temperatures rise into the 70s.
After hitting a high around 60 today, temperatures will soar Wednesday and Thursday into the low to mid-70s.
"Normal highs for this time of year are in the upper 50s, so this would be anywhere between 15 and 20 degrees above that," said meteorologist Dennis Cavanaugh.
The unseasonable warmth won't last long, however, as a cold front blows through Friday morning, bringing temperatures back to normal. Temperatures should remain in the mid-50s through the weekend.
The next chance for rain comes late Saturday. There's a slim chance (20 percent) through Monday.

A post that's actually about cookies (recipe)Magda Pecsenye
It has come to my attention that some people were disappointed that when they clicked on my post about Old Navy giving me the coats to donate the post wasn't actually about cookies. I chose a picture of cookies because I ate so many cookies while I was living with my parents for that month.
To make up for that inadvertent bait and switch, I'm going to give you a recipe for cookies. You all know that I went to culinary school, and was a recipe developer for a short time, right? I don't do it much anymore, but usually when the weather gets colder I get the bug to mess around with developing recipes.
Last year I read a recipe for vegan chocolate chip cookies that didn't sound that great. But the idea intrigued me, so I worked up my own version, and tried them. They were, seriously, the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Somehow they were crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside, with depth of flavor and a nice balanced sweetness. I have no idea how, because the chemistry doesn't seem to add up to the crispy-chewy combo on paper, but it did in the oven somehow.
Without further ado, here are:
Magda's Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
1 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon brown rice syrup (you could probably use maple syrup, golden syrup, or any other liquid sweetener, but I didn't test them)
Mix together, then add:
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla
Mix again. Add:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Mix again. I used my hands at this point. Stir in:
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (If you want these to be vegan for real, you'll need to buy the Sunspire or other brand dairy-free chocolate chips. Since I wasn't feeding my cookies to any true vegans I just used super-dark chocolate chips.)
Drop or scoop onto a baking sheet (no need to pregrease since the cookies are all oil) and bake at 350 F until they start to get some nice color. How long it takes depends on how big you like your cookies and how crispy you like your cookies.
You can roll and freeze the dough and then slice into frozen discs and bake and they come out beautifully.
Are you skeptical? I was, too.

The Internet, including members of image board 4Chan, then jumped on the case. Together, they managed to get the identity, address, and more of Mary Bale, 45. Bale was reviled on Facebook and other social networking sites, and was even threatened.
On Tuesday morning, Bale appeared in a Coventry court. She pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay a fine of £250 ($393) plus a £15 ($24) victim surcharge and costs of £1,171 ($1,843). She was banned from keeping or owning pets for five years.
The court took into account that fact that Bale's elderly father had been gravely ill at the time, as well as her vilification in many quarters. Judge Caroline Goulborn said:
"The media interest in this case has resulted in you being vilified in some quarters and I have taken that into account. I accept that you were in a stressful situation at the time, but that's no excuse for what you did."Indeed, the response to the public was sharp. One example was the "Whack-Cat-Woman" Internet game developed by the U.K. tabloid the Sun.
The RSPCA responded as follows:
"This was a deliberate act and could have had far worse consequences as the defendant had no way of knowing if there was anything like broken glass in the bin, nor how long the cat would be there before she was found, nor if the bin was due to be emptied," said Nicola Foster, an RSPCA inspector.You can watch the original video below.
"We are pleased that the court agreed that a complete disregard was shown for the cat's welfare and that the cat suffered as a result of being stuck inside the bin for so many hours. However, we hope that this sentence will act as a deterrent to anyone who feels that it is acceptable to mistreat animals in any way."
