On the existence of resonances in the reaction at collision energies 0.6–1.3 eV114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1372333View Description Hide Description
Well-converged (total angular momentum quantum mechanical scattering calculations have been performed for the reaction at 0.6–1.3 eV collision energies on the BKMP2 potential energy surface. The present integral and differential cross sections for the reaction yielding indicate that no evidence of resonance structure is found once a fully converged calculation is carried out.
Resonantly amplified vibronic symmetry breaking114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1372334View Description Hide Description
The energy dependence of the vibrational branching ratio for exciting one quantum of bending is determined for photoionization. This nominally forbidden transition becomes allowed for a photoionization transition as a result of instantaneous symmetry breaking due to zero point motion, and is strongly enhanced by a continuum shape resonance.
General trends in CO dissociation on transition metal surfaces114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1372512View Description Hide Description
Dissociativeadsorption is one of the most important reactions in catalysis. In this communication we propose a model aiming to generalize the important factors that affect dissociationreactions. Specifically, for a dissociationreaction, say the model connects the dissociation barrier with the association barrier, the chemisorption energies of A and B at the final state and the bonding energy of AB in the gas phase. To apply this model, we have calculated CO dissociation on Ru(0001), Rh(111), Pd(111) (4dtransition metals), Os(0001), Ir(111), and Pt(111) transition metals) using density function theory(DFT). All the barriers are determined. We find that the DFT results can be rationalized within the model. The model can also be used to explain many experimental observations.
Exact equivalence between the sequential long-range charge transfer rates and the electric conductances in evaluation of chemical yields114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1372332View Description Hide Description
Analytical expressions for calculating the stationary yields of chemical products are derived in a general kinetic scheme for the multistep or sequential hopping rate processes. Established further is an exact mapping between the stationary chemical yields and the normalized electric direct currents.

The influence of the molecular charge on potential energy curves for the proton transfer in electronic ground and excited states114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1364682View Description Hide Description
The potential energy curves were studied for the proton transfer in the electronic ground and excited states for the model systems and The complete active space self-consistent-field calculations were performed for the ground state optimized structures. The potential energy curves for the proton transfer in the excited states undergo a dramatic change due to the different electronic density distribution as an effect of electronic excitations. In all cases of the studied excited states, the electron population on the transferred proton is higher compared to that in the ground state. The total charge of the system greatly influences the potential curves. Energy separation between ground and excited states is decreased due to the negative charge of the system and is increased when the studied species are positively charged. The vertical excitations of the complex are similar to those in the monomers, but the proton relaxation leads to significant energetical (energy barriers) and structural position) changes.
The performance of density functional theory for equilibrium molecular properties of symmetry breaking molecules114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1365419View Description Hide Description
The reliability of density functional theory(DFT) for the prediction of equilibrium molecular properties is assessed for several challenging molecules and which tend to artifactually break spatial symmetry in the Hartree–Fock approximation. DFT appears to be among the more robust methods for such cases, but it is not immune to anomalous property predictions. The BLYP and BPW91 functionals fail dramatically for rectangular and where they are unable to find a bound minimum.
Biochemical reaction equilibria from the point of view of a semigrand partition function114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1366638View Description Hide Description
When the is specified in studying equilibria in a system of biochemical reactions, the criterion for spontaneous change and equilibrium is provided by a transformed Gibbs energy that is the thermodynamic potential corresponding to a semigrand ensemble. The semigrand partition function for a system at a specified provides a global view of the thermodynamics of the reaction system because all the other thermodynamic properties can be calculated from this function. These operations are illustrated by a system consisting of two species with different numbers of hydrogen atoms, by a system involving two isomeric monoprotic acids, and by a series of metabolic reactions that reduce to a pseudoisomer group when the steady-state concentrations of coenzymes are specified.
A general expression of the exact kinetic energy operator in polyspherical coordinates114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1361069View Description Hide Description
This paper aims at presenting a general and compact matrix expression of the exact kinetic energy operator in polyspherical coordinates adapted to the study of semirigid molecules. The internal coordinates of an N atom system are expressed by a set of relative position vectors. The operator can be applied to whatever the set of vectors (Jacobi, Radau, valence, satellite, etc., or a combination of these vectors), and whatever the number of atoms. It includes the rotation and the Coriolis coupling. Such a formulation gives the opportunity to develop a general code for calculating the ro-vibrational spectra in a curvilinear description including all the vibrational, rotational, and Coriolis couplings.
Variational calculations of fermion second-order reduced density matrices by semidefinite programming algorithm114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1360199View Description Hide Description
The ground-state fermion second-order reduced density matrix (2-RDM) is determined variationally using itself as a basic variable. As necessary conditions of the -representability, we used the positive semidefiniteness conditions, and conditions that are described in terms of the 2-RDM. The variational calculations are performed by using recently developed semidefinite programming algorithm (SDPA). The calculated energies of various closed- and open-shell atoms and molecules are excellent, overshooting only slightly the full-CI energies. There was no case where convergence was not achieved. The calculated properties also reproduce well the full-CI results.

Molecular lens applied to benzene and carbon disulfide molecular beams114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1367380View Description Hide Description
A molecular lens of the nonresonant dipole force formed by focusing a nanosecond IR laser pulse has been applied to benzene and molecular beams. Using the velocity map imaging technique for molecular ray tracing,characteristic molecular lens parameters including the focal length minimum beam width and distance to the minimum beam width position were determined. The laser intensity dependence of the observed lens parameters was in good agreement with theoretical predictions. W was independent of the laser peak intensity whereas f and D varied linearly with The differences in lens parameters between the molecular species were well correlated with the polarizability per mass values of the molecules. A high chromatographic resolution of was achieved between the images of benzene molecular beams undeflected and deflected by the lens. The possibilities for a new type of chromatography are discussed.
Electron attachment in HBr and HCl114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1367376View Description Hide Description
Studies of electron attachment in HBr and HCl gases at low temperatures have indicated that attachment to clusters of these gases can become efficient even though attachment to the monomers is endothermic and exhibits very low attachment rates. A complementary measurement of the reaction of OH radicals with HBr has enabled us to establish a lower limit for the rate of electron attachment to HBr clusters of approximately
Jet spectroscopy of van der Waals dimers of 1-methoxynaphthalene: A laser induced fluorescence study114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1366642View Description Hide Description
Excited state dynamics following transition of jet-cooled van der Waals complexes of 1-methoxynaphthalene has been investigated by measuring the laser-induced fluorescence excitation, dispersed fluorescence and two-color hole-burning spectra. The results give evidence of formation of two isomeric dimers, which show only sharp absorption and emit excimer fluorescence for excitations to the origin region of the state. Excimer formation in one of the dimers occurs from the zero-point level of the locally excited state. The other dimer shows vibrational barrier and the yield of the excimer emission increases as the successive higher quanta of a low-frequency intermolecular mode are excited. The barrier in the second case has been attributed to the reorganization of the dimer geometry from the locally excited state to the excimer state. The characteristic enhancement of the yield of excimer emission with increase in excitation energy indicates the involvement of a tunneling mechanism for crossing the reorganization barrier.
Rotational analysis of the origin and the inversion bands of the spectrum of acetaldehyde114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1366643View Description Hide Description
Fully rotationally resolved spectra of the two lowest-frequency bands (the origin and the inversion band) of the transition of jet-cooled acetaldehyde, have been recorded with a resolution of ≈0.01 cm−1 using a pulsed dye amplified continuous wave (cw) laser. In modeling the spectra a nonperturbative solution of the rotational–torsional coupling problem was used, but the torsion–inversion and the rotation–inversion couplings were neglected. All the lines of the origin band were reproduced with a model using the same rotational–torsional Hamiltonian for the ground- and excited electronic state. The inversion band could not be described with this model, since the ordering of the torsional levels in the excited state is reversed. The measured spectrum was reproduced by using a rigid asymmetric rotor Hamiltonian for the two torsional levels in the excited state. Some rotational levels of and states were found to be shifted from their predicted energy values. These shifts were explained by an accidental resonance between the excited singlet level and some higher rovibronic triplet level. The relative intensities of the ab-type and c-type torsional subbands and the Herzberg–Teller–induced transition dipole moment direction, characterizing the ab-type subband, were determined by an intensity fit.
The stereodynamics of the reaction on the ground and excited potential energy surfaces114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1350917View Description Hide Description
The stereodynamics of the reaction has been studied theoretically on the Dobbyn–Knowles (DK) ab initiopotential energy surfaces (PES). Quasiclassical trajectory(QCT) calculations have been carried out on the ground state PES and both QCT and quantum mechanical (QM) calculations have been performed on the excited state PES. The product rotational angular momentumpolarization in the scattering frame (i.e., the vector correlation) has been determined for selected rovibrational states of the and product channels at the collision energy of 0.196 eV. The agreement between the QM and QCT results is very good and indicates that the "abstraction" reaction occurring on the excited PES yields OH and OD products strongly polarized, in strong contract with the "insertion" reaction occurring on the ground PES, which leads to an essentially isotropic distribution of the product rotational angular momentum. The differentiated stereodynamics on the and surfaces constitutes a reference for experimental research with the aim of assessing the contribution of the excited surface to the overall reactivity of this system.
Short-wavelength photolysis of jet-cooled114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1367393View Description Hide Description
Highly inverted vibrational level populations are found for ClO fragments resulting from the UVphotodissociation of into and fragments. These distributions depend significantly on the spin–orbit J state of the oxygen partner atom. In contrast, the ClO rotational excitation is modest. Distinct rotational structure is visible in the O photofragment yield spectrum recorded from the highly excited OClO vibronic band, which is indicative for hitherto unforeseen long dissociation lifetimes of very highly excited OClO. The data point towards an unexpected nearly-linear and highly asymmetric dissociation geometry. Carrying out near-threshold fragmentation experiments of OClO the dissociation energy of OClO has been accurately determined to
Transient resonance Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory investigation of and photoproducts produced following ultraviolet excitation of and114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1367391View Description Hide Description
We report transient resonanceRaman spectra and density functional theory calculations for the photoproducts produced after ultraviolet excitation of and in cyclohexane solution. Comparison of the computed vibrational frequencies to the experimental Raman frequencies revealed that the iso-CHBrCl–Br and iso-CHClBr–Br species are mainly responsible for the transient resonanceRaman spectrum observed following ultraviolet excitation of Similar comparisons for showed the species is mainly responsible for the transient resonanceRaman spectrum observed following ultraviolet excitation of Additional density functional theory computations were done to examine the chemical reactions of and with ethylene to give cyclopropane and Br–Cl product. We briefly discuss the possibility for release of reactive halogens into the atmosphere via the photochemical and chemical reactions of iso-polyhalomethane molecules formed after ultraviolet excitation of polyhalomethanes in condensed phase environments.
hyperconjugation mechanism on the rotational barrier of the methyl group (III): Methyl-azabenzenes in the ground, excited, and anionic states114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1364677View Description Hide Description
We theoretically investigate the internal rotations of the methyl group in methyl-azabenzenes, such as o- and m-methylpyridines, 2-methylpyrazine, 4-methylpyrimidine, 4-methylpyridadine, and 4-methyl-1,2,3-triazine in the ground, excited, and anionic states. The calculated rotational barriers reproduce well the experimental data. Orbital pictures are given for the barrier changes by excitation and electron attachment. An idea of hyperconjugation is applied for a comprehensive interpretation of the barrier changes. A correlation is found between the rotational barriers and the splitting of the lowest and next-lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals.
Identification of the Rydberg state of by resonance-enhanced multiphoton-ionization spectroscopy114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1367333View Description Hide Description
The diffuse to 4 levels of the Rydberg state of are identified and characterized using resonance-enhanced multiphoton-ionization spectroscopy. An experimental potential-energy curve for the state, together with the magnitude of its interaction with the valence state, are determined semiempirically by analyzing the predissociated spectra using the coupled-channel Schrödinger-equation method. The experimental Rydberg-valence coupling (930 cm−1) exceeds significantly the value calculated ab initio by Buenker and Peyerimhoff [Chem. Phys. Lett. 34, 225 (1975)] (<320 cm−1), but is in good agreement with the single-configuration model prediction of Lewis et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 113, 2214 (2000)] (900 cm−1).
The Cotton–Mouton effect of gaseous OCS, and A cubic response multiconfigurational self-consistent field study114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1364678View Description Hide Description
The hypermagnetizability and the hypermagnetizability anisotropy of OCS, and are computed at a wavelength of 632.8 nm using cubic response theory with multiconfigurational self-consistent field wave functions. The anisotropies of the electric dipole polarizability and of the magnetizability are also obtained. This allows us to study the temperature dependence of the Cotton–Mouton constant for all four molecules and thus to compare to the results of the experimental study by Kling and Hüttner [Chem. Phys. Lett. 90, 207 (1984)]. We also assess the importance of pure and zero-point vibrational effects on the relevant molecular properties. In particular, we show that for OCS, and the pure vibrational effects to the hypermagnetizability anisotropy can be even more important than the electronic contribution.
Sum rules for generalized electron-pair moments of Hartree–Fock orbitals114(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1367371View Description Hide Description
For many-electron systems, the generalized electron-pair density function represents the probability density function for the magnitude of two-electron vector to be q, where a and b are real-valued parameters. For Hartree–Fock wave functions, decomposition of into spin–orbital-pair components shows that the second moments associated with satisfy several rigorous sum rules which connect one- and two-electron properties of spin–orbitals i and j. The same is also true in momentum space. As an illustrative application, the orbital kinetic energies of the Rn atom are separated into the relative motion and center-of-mass motion contributions of electrons in two relevant orbitals.

Footy and Politics in the Red Centre
Behind the scenes, it was an eventful off-season for the Central Australian Football League (CAFL). The fixture was released in early March with only one noteworthy change – a new team, Plenty Highway, will replace MacDonnell Districts in Division One. This might seem insignificant but the absence of MacDonnell Districts is but one indication of some earnest politicking in a complicated region.
Sid Anderson is an important man in Central Australia by any measure. He is a life member of the CAFL and a former captain and former coach of the Papunya Football Club. He recently retired as President of MacDonnell Regional Council, but continues to serve as a Councillor of the Luritja Pintubi Ward. He has served on the board of Central Land Council, Papunya Community Council and Ngurratjuta/Pmara Ntjarra Aboriginal Corporation. Undoubtedly, Anderson is a leader in the community.
Karl Hampton is a former Northern Territory Minister for Sport. He served in the NT parliament as Member for Stuart from 2006 to 2012. He serves as Chairperson of the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) and as a board member of Imparja Television. Hampton is also on the committee of the Redtails Central Australian Football Club and his son Curtly plays for Adelaide in the AFL. There can be no question of Hampton's influence on politics and football in the Central Australian community.
Seemingly at odds with his life membership of the CAFL, Anderson has been a driving force in trying to establish a 'breakaway' competition, the Wilurarra Tjutaku Football League (WTFL). Hampton has worked with Anderson to get the WTFL operating for the 2016 season. The plan involves teams from remote communities such as Papunya, Yuendumu, Areyonga, Laramba, Nyirripi, Mt Allan, Kintore, Mt Liebig, Ikuntji and Ltyentye Apurte playing in a community-based competition instead of the Alice Springs-based CAFL. Both men have called on the Northern Territory Football League and the CAFL to support them in their endeavours.
There is no suggestion Anderson and Hampton were doing anything but trying to act in what they believe is the communities' best interests. Both men are concerned by the alcohol and anti-social behaviour young men from remote communities are exposed to when they stay in Alice Springs. By keeping these young men away from Alice Springs, they hope it will lead to healthier men and stronger communities. Although a noble goal, the WTFL proposal ignores and underestimates some significant issues while introducing a whole raft of supplementary problems.
Although broad descriptions with some unsavoury undertones, 'alcohol' and the attendant 'anti-social' behaviour are relatively problematic in Alice Springs. Indeed, statistics paint a horrifying picture in which the rates of drunkenness, domestic violence, assault, and damage to property far exceed the national average. Nevertheless, the remote communities are not somehow immune to these same problems. The suggestion that avoiding Alice Springs will somehow insulate against social problems is demonstrably false.
Many people from remote communities spend a significant proportion of their lives in Alice Springs, football or no. Some work or go to school in town. Others visit family members or access service providers such as the Alice Springs Hospital or Central Australian Aboriginal Congress. While some young men who reside in Alice Springs are keen to play football for their home community, the difficulty in traveling hundreds of kilometres out of town may mean they are unable to play for their preferred team. The WTFL proposal seems to assume 22 players will be available and in their home community for each game.
Long-distance travel is an unfortunate fact of life for people from remote communities. Hours spent in hot cars on the red, dusty, un-sealed roads of Central Australia are commonplace. On the surface, having a home game every second week is appealing when you live in Papunya. But this ignores the players who reside in Alice Springs. More pertinently it also ignores those communities who are in a geographically different direction. All of Papunya, Mt Liebig, and Haasts Bluff are near to each other, approximately 200-250km west of town, but these are the exception rather than the rule. Santa Theresa/Ltyentye Apurte is about 80km south-east of Alice Springs and footballers would have to travel through Alice Springs to play almost every other team in the WTFL significantly increasing their driving. Similarly, although Yuendumu is about 150km north of Papunya as the crow flies, the Tanami road runs back toward Alice Springs making this the most efficient route.
An unanswered question regarding the WTFL is would players support it, or would they jump ship from their communities for the chance to play on a bigger stage. Footballers of all abilities enjoy playing on immaculate grounds. The red dirt football games create a beautiful and iconic Australian image, but players would much prefer to be jogging out onto the MCG. The main ground in Alice Springs, Traeger Park, is of a high enough standard to host an AFL game each year. Growing grass is easy with plenty of sunlight and a consistent water supply. It is easy to imagine a car-load of footballers travelling along the road from Ntaria looking wistfully at the green expanses of Traeger Park or Albrecht Oval before continuing their long drive to the red dirt oval of Papunya or Yuendumu.
With the fixture released, it appears the CAFL will proceed largely as it did last year. The five town teams will play on Saturdays in Premier League while the ten community teams in Division One and Division Two will play on Sundays. The obvious exception to the participating community teams is MacDonnell Districts who are based around Papunya, Anderson's home community. All CAFL games will be played in Alice Springs on Traeger Park, Albrecht Oval and Jim McConville Oval.
Practicalities aside, at its heart the development of the Wilurarra Tjutaku Football League is a play for power and influence. Anderson and Hampton want to see community people take control of their lives and recreation. Meanwhile, the established CAFL are loath to lose players and the accordant funding which would see their influence, control and power diminished. Changing demographics have already had an impact on the dominant and powerful town teams in recent years. Established footballing interests would not like to see this continue.
A quirk of Central Australian footy is that town teams are allowed to play a few registered community players in their Saturday games. The players can then play the next day for their community. Both of last year's grand finalists, Federal and Wests, recruited heavily from remote communities to bolster their teams. Wests were a powerhouse in the early 2000s, winning five premierships. What followed were some lean years and dwindling numbers. David Wongway was one of Wests' best in a losing grand final team, but he also rolled out for Ltyentye Apurte in Division One during the 2015 season. Similarly, Papunya's Marcus McDonald was in Federal's premiership side but spent his winter Sundays playing for his community team MacDonnell Districts.
Central Australia is a complicated region with Alice Springs at its heart. The complexity of social problems is unparalleled in modern Australia and football is but a reflection of this. Politics, power, money, race, and football – Hampton and Anderson have stirred up a hornet's nest. Meanwhile, the CAFL have worked quietly behind the scenes refusing to comment publicly on the WTFL proposal. This weekend, under the big blue Centralian sky, attention will return to the field as young men from all over the region forget their woes and play football again.
Resuming The Dangerous Dance With Traffic
Continued from A Typical Alice Springs Morning Ride and Dark and Hazy Days In Hospital
It has been over six months since I got knocked from my bike. I rode over 100km a weekend or two ago. I went in a triathlon and won. My right hip and gluteals are still limited in their range of movement but it doesn't affect me too much. I get sore if I don't rest and don't stretch, but this is relatively normal for a man of my age.
The most significant problem that remains is the memory. I went for a ride this morning and pulled off the road twice as trucks went by. My anxiety rose every time a car went past. I pulled over at one point to take a photo of the sunrise and half-climbed over a fence to be as far away as possible as a sedan went speeding along the road.
More than one person has told me I am crazy for going cycling on the road again. But I don't quite see it that way. I have been through the accident a million times in my mind and still think about what I could have done differently. Quite rationally I conclude I did all I could. The most likely scenario is that the truck driver fell asleep on the long road from Tennant Creek to Alice Springs and I was an innocent victim. No amount of light, no amount of reflective gear, no amount of armour is going to protect you from bad luck.
I called the police less than two weeks after the accident and was told the case had been closed. I asked a few questions of the responsible policeman and while he was amenable to my suggestions, I heard nothing further. I don't resent this decision, as police in Alice Springs have much more pressing matters, but I do feel that more could have been done. That is a fact of life with an over-burdened public service.
I don't retain any particular feelings for the driver. I would like to have a quick chat with him, just to show him my scar and explain the disturbance that it caused in our lives. I don't think this would change anything.
Certainly it wouldn't change those first few weeks out of hospital. The two months on crutches were difficult to say the least. My head was constantly hazy with medication and I was unable to sleep soundly. I caught a virus which slowed me down for a few days. My wound leaked through its 52 staples into my clothes and bed sheets. I couldn't walk, ride, or drive making appointments a logistical nightmare. I had to arrange time off work and accident compensation. And I had an active 2 year old to chase. A pregnant Mrs Bugler was magnificent.
I went to the gym on crutches and rolled weights to benches. I brought my array of thera-bands to add some resistance to the simple range of motion exercises set by the physio. I graduated to easy leg weights with as few kilograms as possible. I cannot emphasise enough how quickly I improved from going to the gym 2-3 times a week. I would see other rehab patients at my regular hospital appointments and feel guilty that they didn't have the resources or wherewithal to visit the physio and the gym.
I was back on a stationary bike just over a month after the accident. Although horrendously boring, sitting still and spinning my legs over was another thing that accelerated my recovery. It gave me some strength without putting too much stress or impact on my leg. After I concluded the accident was not my fault, I returned to the road. My first forays onto the road were rather timid affairs. I avoided traffic like the plague, stuck to quiet roads and bike paths. I felt like I didn't belong on the bike.
Inevitably, my story has become old. I listen to other people complain about their aches and pains, and no longer feel like I can trump them. I think I have almost showed everyone in Alice Springs my scar – the first time I had a couple of drinks it was on show most of the evening. I'm still happy to show anyone who cares to ask, but everyone has an horrific story to tell.
Other than the feeling of not being as fit as I was, the thing that continues to frustrate me most is the fatuous bickering regarding cyclists. The absurd arguments that categorise and pigeonhole cyclists as though they/we somehow don't drive cars or walk on footpaths. The sense of superiority and self-importance that seem to take hold as people curse cyclists, motorcyclists, truck drivers, Volvo drivers, or some 'other' road user, questioning the validity of their reasons for using the road. How did public spaces become so exclusive?
Of particular poignancy over the past few months is the victim blaming. I cannot countenance the idea that I was 'asking for it' by going for a ride on a road that also carries trucks. In much the same manner as rapists, the victim blaming somehow legitimises and excuses the truck driver. If the very same truck driver fell asleep and drifted into my path as I was driving my wife and kids on the same stretch of road what would be the reaction?
I'll get off my high horse but hopefully it is food for thought. Thanks for the messages of support – I'm happy to be alive, riding, running, and Bugling.
Dark and Hazy Days In Hospital
Continued from A Typical Alice Springs Morning Ride
It took about 15min before the reassuring sight of red and blue flashing lights appeared at the top of the overpass. My ability to endure pain was sorely tested when I realised it was the police. By this stage the pain in my hip was made worse by violent shivering from the cold and shock. The police were surprised to find only two cyclists. When Rod was requesting an ambulance, the 000 operator didn't ask if the driver had stopped. Understandably, the police assumed the driver would be at the accident. The police most likely went past the truck as they were driving north and the truck was heading south on the same highway.
Another 5min elapsed before the ambulance finally arrived. By this point my reserves of pain tolerance and patience were nearing their end. I wanted to be warm and I wanted the ache in my hip gone. Neither happened quickly. The paramedics were more concerned with other injuries. I was sitting and they began asking questions to ascertain if I had a spinal injury. It didn't help when I said I had numb hands and feet. I stood up to demonstrate I was OK. There was a pool of blood where I had been sitting. I had been trying to reassure people I was fine. That blood undermined my argument. I had been also trying to say I was lucid. My inability to recognise I was bleeding didn't help this argument either.
Two fire trucks arrived on the scene and I was starting to get upset. I was shivering violently. I badly wanted to be in the ambulance with a blanket and some pain relief. I had created a minor traffic jam as the population of the vicinity swelled. One of the policemen began directing traffic. Mrs Bugler arrived shortly after I was loaded into the ambulance. We had a quick discussion with those around me. The blood pooling on the sheets of the stretcher was not reassuring to Mrs Bugler.
By the time we left the scene it was well after 7am. The police went to our house with my bike and other belongings. The fire engines had realised they weren't much use and headed back to the station. Mrs Bugler set off for the hospital. The ambulance staff struggled to get an IV into my violently shaking limbs. They had also cut away some lycra and subsequently struggled to slow the flow of blood. Evidently lycra has excellent properties for slowing bleeding. Eventually we got on our way with me bleeding and in pain. I can only imagine how Rod must have felt as I was carted away with my entourage of emergency services. The ride back on the highway must have been a touch lonely and frightening.
From the very first moment, I didn't grasp the danger I was in. I was the only one. When I got to Alice Springs Hospital Emergency, I was only worried about getting more blankets so I could warm up. For 3 hours a single nurse put pressure on my wound to stem the flow. Each time she took her hand away, there was someone who would say something such as "oh no, it's still going". A variety of doctors – residents, registrars, consultants, surgeons, orthopaedic, emergency – asked me questions I felt were irrelevant. It was gradually made clear that the pain in my hip could likely be distracting from something much more sinister. Internal abdominal bleeding, a head injury or a spinal injury were very real possibilities.
I had been in hospital for around 4 hours before I felt something approximating comfortable. My limbs had gradually thawed thanks to heated blankets and the copious amounts of morphine turned the pain to a dull stiffness. The emergency consultant had given me an ultrasound to ascertain if I had internal bleeding. She also gave me an examination to discover the possibility of a spinal injury. Both gave her confidence. Nevertheless, successive general and orthopaedic surgeons requested x-rays. I was wheeled out of the resuscitation area of emergency by a clerk who called himself the "Cheeky Kiwi".
My x-rays delivered a classic scenario of good and bad news. First the bad. The truck had smashed the top corner of my femur, a part called the greater trochanter. This had likely torn a number of muscle attachments off too. The fragments of my femur were floating throughout my general hip area and there was concern some of these fragments may have been gravel from the road. The open wound and shattered bone made concerns for infection with long-term consequences very real. And the good? Despite some initial concerns about a hairline fracture of my pelvis, I was given the all-clear for other injuries. No fractured skull. No spinal injury. A lucky Bugler.
Upon my return to ED, I was admitted under General Surgery but my surgery was to be done by the orthopaedic team. I was booked in for exploratory surgery that afternoon. This was to clean out the wound and to discover the extent of the damage.
The six days I spent in hospital following my initial surgery tend to blur together. A combination of drugs no doubt contributed to this. The effects of the surgery also made me feel much worse than the initial accident. A few key moments stand out.
Mini-Bugler fell sick adding to the extraordinary stress on a pregnant Mrs Bugler and each time they visited I felt a flood of emotions, love and guilt primary among them. I was greatly relieved that Mum and Dad decided to drop everything and fly up.
I was scheduled in for further surgery two days following the accident. My surgical team explained that this was to repair the damage to my greater trochanter, and to re-affix and repair my gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The day of fasting waiting for the surgery was extraordinary. I kept getting bumped to later and later in the day. By 9pm my patience was wearing thin and I was hungry. After I was wheeled into the surgical suite, I spoke to my surgeon and questioned his ability to perform the surgery expertly at the end of a 15 hour day. Apparently his team was chuckling as they overheard the exchange in an adjoining room.
An exchange with a surgical nurse was particularly memorable. She recalled me from my surgery two days prior. She said something along the lines of "I remember you, I could fit my fist through the hole in your bum" and proceeded to motion with her clenched fist. I asked how the damage to my femur was done. She explained using her fist that the blunt edge of the truck had punched through my sufficiently hefty bum cheek and slammed into my femur, shattering the corner of it. This rather vivid image made it quite clear that I was in a bit more trouble than I had initially thought.
My surgery went as planned and over the next few days we discussed my health with a myriad of doctors and nurses. I was grateful to have a doctor as a wife to help interpret what was being discussed. Not for the first time I felt concerned for the many other patients without the resources available to me. A discussion of my blood was particularly enlightening. My initial blood test indicated a haemoglobin of 144g/L and an haematocrit of 0.43, both comfortably in the reference range despite an hour of bleeding. During my second surgery, these had dropped below 50g/L and 0.20 respectively, about a third. I was given two blood transfusions of packed red blood cells which restored my blood to 103g/L and 0.31 – still significantly below the reference range.
By this point, I absolutely understood that I was not in good shape and that the rehabilitation was going to take a long while.

I am so very grateful for Mr. Waters to have helped us through a very difficult time. He is a very kind and caring person and I feel so fortunate to have had him be the one to represent my son. It's been a very difficult time for us. We went through a horrible divorce with his dad leaving my son to grow up without a father. As a single mom, trying to deal with a very strong minded son, I've had my share of drama to deal with. That being said, I truly feel this was all meant to be. It was meant for my son to have this wake-up call – and it was meant for Mr. Waters to be part of this also. Mr. Waters is doing a good deed right now and it will come back to him someday. I cannot thank him enough.

The Missing Globalization Puzzle: Evidence of the Declining Importance of Distance
Globalization can be characterized as the rapid increase in international trade spurred by advances in technology that have decreased the cost of trade. As costs have declined, so too, it would seem, should the estimated distance coefficient in the gravity model of bilateral trade. But a standard empirical result is that these estimated coefficients have been broadly stable, a result that might be called the "missing globalization puzzle." In contrast to results from the literature, we find evidence of globalization reflected in the estimated coefficients on distance in both cross-section and panel data. Our estimation procedures fully incorporate the information contained in observations where bilateral trade is zero and hence do not suffer from the potential estimation bias when observations where bilateral trade is zero are arbitrarily excluded from the sample. IMF Staff Papers (2007) 54, 34–58. doi:10.1057/palgrave.imfsp.9450003

THE YOUNGEST TEAM in the NBA plays with remarkable predictability almost every night. It turns the ball over more than any other club. For much of any given game, it runs little semblance of an offense; its attack often devolves into a series of imperfect shot decisions.
But, more than anything, it plays defense with insufficient effort and commitment.
For this, there is no excuse.
It can take years for players to develop a repertoire of effective offensive moves; to understand and control their bodies; to appreciate the value of balance and fundamentals and skill-specific roles.

A recent search has uncovered 157 genetic variations that modify levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol (Global Lipids Genetics Consortium et al. Nat Genet. 2013;45[11]:1274-1283).
A worldwide team of scientists pooled genetic and clinical information from 188 577 European-ancestry individuals and 7898 individuals of non-European ancestry to identify the changes, 62 of which are located within regions not previously linked to lipids. Many of the changes were also associated with coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. All but one of the variants associated with blood lipids were near protein-coding regions of DNA.

Emirate Towers are twin hotels in the centre of the commercial District. Very plush inside, go reasonably smart and take the lift. This is one ride you won't want to miss.
The lift will speed you 40 floor in the glass elevator to open up views across Dubai to the ocean. If not a little frightening it's fantastic!

Day trip to Sharjah
A trip to Sharjah is a great day (or half day) trip from DUbai. The distance is very convenient and - depending on the traffic - it can take you from 20 minutes to over an hour. There is an interesting heritage area, an old souq (apparently the oldest souq in the emirates) and the blue souq. This souq in particular is stunning: it's in arabic style all covered with blue tiles.
It's less chaotic than Dubai and more conservative. You won't find alcohol, shish or swimsuits on the beach. I would not suggest staying overnight, but a visit, even a short one, can be very refreshing: here you will find a lot of opulence and very little tackiness.
It's possible to reach Sharjah by bus or even by share taxis. They leave from a corner near the Bur Dubai bus station. Just look out for a large group of men in traditional white dress, hanging about and looking like they're just wasting the day away. They are not: they are your cab drivers.
Danat Dubai Dinner Cruise
There are many romantic dinner cruises operating daily in Dubai creek. Usually they are of two hours duration from 8 - 10 p.m. Guests are welcomed on board with hot towel and welcome drinks.
There is live commentary by captain who usually gives information about Dubai. Dinner is served in buffet style. Unlimited alcoholic and other drinks are also served. You can enjoy views of city from open air upper deck. Many people like to take photographs while other just enjoy the views of Dubai at night time.
The trip starts from Bur Dubai side of the creek crossing Rashid Al Makhtoom bridge and entering Deira. Cost per person for two hour cruise usually ranges between AED 125 ($ 35) and AED 250 ($ 70 appox) . Some cruisers also cover Arabian gulf apart from Dubai Creek.
One of them is "Danat Dubai Cruises". They have got this nice three story cruiser with nice restaurant and large open air seating n dinning facility. Their crew is very friendly but i did not liked their food despite the fact it was from Renaissance Dubai Hotel which is a five star hotel and member of Marriott hotels chain.
Their charges were AED 125 ( $ 35 appox ) per person but special discounts were available for groups and families. After ride of creek they took us to Arabian gulf and that too quite far away from city. The worst part started when suddenly there was sea storm and cruiser was shaking badly. All of their buffet items also fell down. Most of people got fainted. Kids and ladies were crying so they were ordered to go inside the restaurant.
Captain was talented enough that he managed to turn back and every one was relaxed when we were back to Dubai creek. But it was fun so try it next time when you are in Dubai. I have mentioned Danat Dubai's telephone and fax numbers for your help here.

Raise your blood pressure (on the dunes)
Take a day trip out of Dubai to the desert for a heart-stopping 4 X 4 thrill ride over the sand dunes. The tour company will pick you up in Dubai, in the 4 X 4 you will ride over the dunes in, and then drive you and your companions for about an hour out of the city. Once you reach the dune area, the tires of the 4 X 4 are deflated, and off you go! Up and over dunes, sliding downward, *sideways*, gunning it up a steep dune and hurtling over the sandy lip atop it....
When you think your bladder can't take it anymore, the driver stops for a photo op, and then off you go back to the tire-filling pump. To end the trip, many tours take you to a barbecue dinner at a bedouin "village." There you can ride a camel, watch a belly-dancing performance, get a henna design painted on you, and have your picture taken in traditional dress. Of course this is not a real village, but is just for show. Or maybe "shows."
Phone: 04-359-9002
Quad Bikes!!
On the road from Dubai to Hatta..there's this little place where you can ride quad bikes over the sand dunes. Fantastic experience! A smaller quad bike (for one) costs about Dhs. 60 an hour and the bigger one is about Dhs. 150. You can also rent them for half an hour.
You can also sand ski here. Sand skiing involves riding something like a snowboard down a sand dune.
Dhows (old cargo ships) on the Creek
Although you'll always see some skyscraper in the background, the Deira side of Dubai's old town is surely the best to see a more traditional side of Dubai. Not only all the souks give you an idea of pre-boom Dubai. What I would like to recommend is a short walk along the Creek between the two Abra stations (Old Souk and Sabkha). Here, archaic, wooden cargo ships are being offloaded. The goods you see here are not those you'll find in the shopping malls. Here, you see cheap far-eastern household products as feel as some food and spices for the nearby shops. Don't expect it to be too traditional as most stuff comes in boxes. But it's apart of the Creek you won't find in many tourists guides. Be careful, as it is a working harbour and not a purpose-built tourist attraction, and see one of the most authentic parts of the city.
Walk like an Emirati
In and around the United Arab Emirates, (UAE) there a numerous road trips and desert trails which take you to a mirage of different landscapes. People automatically presume that being in the desert, we only have sand dunes and dust surrounding us, but no so. There is an abundance of oasis's and large rock mountains (as shown in the pic).
This photo was taken when my family and I went on a road trip to a place called Hatta(That is not me in the photo).
The Hatta heritage village is constructed around an old settlement and is a recreation of a traditional mountain village set in an oasis. The village helps you discover the old world charm of barasti (palm leaves) and mud houses. There's a large central fort and tower which overlooks the village. Other added attractions are falaj, an oasis and vegetated seating areas where you can cool your heels.
Signs in Arabic and English will guide visitors to various sections of the site which includes an old mosque dating back 200 years and the Al Husen Majlis, where the governor of the village received guests and visitors.
It is also worth while popping into to the Hatta Fort Hotel, which is very down to earth and relaxed. (By down to earth I don't mean dump!) It is a different feel from Dubai and you won't feel like a fashion alien if you walk around the grounds in shorts and a t-shirts. Lunch by the pool is also lovely and if you have kids with you, make sure you pack their costumes for the trip, because there won't be much of a chance to hold them back once they see the pool!!
This drive takes about 1hour 1/2, and has beautiful views all the way through if you go off road and do it in a 4x4 (a must) , otherwise you will be restricted to the vivid colours of tarmac!

Go to the beach
There seems to be many nice beaches along the coast and we went to one of the nearest beaches called the Jumeira Beach Corniche. The beach was really nice and the water was clear. Quite amazing considering that the dry docks of Dubai are not that far away. The water was not as warm as I had expected but I guess we have to take into consideration that it is spring. I would guess that the water temperature was a bit above 20 degrees. If you want to go further out of town it is possible to visit the Jumeira beach park. But remember that they have "Women only" days in this park so check before you go. And if you go even further you will reach the area where Jumeirah Beach hotel and Burj Al Arab is located.
A desert trip
There are many tour operators that offer trips out to the desert. We hooked up with a company called Lama Tours and we were picked up from the hotel one day to go on a trip. The car that we drove in was a Toyota Landcruiser (these cars seems to be very popular for this purpose) and we were 7 in the car including the driver. First we drove out of Dubai to find some big sand dunes. The driver then reduced the air pressure in the tires and we drove of. It was a fun ride but very, very bumpy. In fact we saw a person in another car that got really sick and that had to throw up after a while. We stopped in between and we saw another tour group trying out sand skiing. It is quite amazing to look towards the horizon and see sand dune after sand dune. In this landscape that I'm not used to I find it really difficult to tell the distance to or height of the next sand dune. Let's just hope that I never get lost in the desert.
When the sun set we stopped to look at that and we later drove to a camp. There was quite a lot of activities there and the good spirits got even higher when people discovered that they sold alcohol there. First of all we were allowed to go for a short camel ride. In the camp itself it was possible to get a henna tattoo, dress up in traditional outfits, smoke a shisha pipe and watch some belly dancing (and even participate). In the end we got a meal from the barbeque
Desert Safari
Although a major attraction in Dubai, the desert safari is far from a tourist trap. It is a most enjoyable experience that is better than any roller coaster ride! I utilised Alpha Tours, which was excellent. A jeep will pick you and other passengers in Dubai (4-6 per car) and will drive about 45 minutes into the desert until you reach the real breathtaking sand dune desert. As soon as all the cars have assembled (and some photos taken), the jeeps will start trecking on the dunes... AMAZING! ... The evening will end at a camp located in the middle of the desert, with an Arabic dinner, camel rides and yes, a belly dancer. Alpha Tours is one of numerous tour operators in Dubai. All tour operators offer choices of half day, overnight, and multi-day safaris. I found the 5-6 hour one quite sufficient (from 3:30pm until 9pm).

When it rains, it pretty much pours, doesn't it? For years a cinematic desert, quite literally, Dubai has suddenly sprung to life with little pockets of underground film movements. The XVA Gallery - owned by a lovely Swiss woman, can lay claim to hosting the most picture-perfect of these, its beautiful mud and brick-lime walls lending themselves perfectly to film being filtered through the projection screen. Without losing any sheen off its art gallery status.
The setting's wonderful - a heritage villa in the old Bastakiya Quarter by the creek. You'll have to lose yourself in the area's small, winding lanes to get there, but a thin curtain of shimmery beads will let you know you've arrived. The Gallery's central courtyard, flanked by lanterns and charming little knick-knacks, is suitably decked with simple couches and chairs for people to enjoy the film comfortably. And you can order some food to go with your film, from the gallery assistants nearby.
The cinema showcased here isn't really indie or alternative, but still pretty left of the middle to keep your interest sustained. A wednesday evening shindig, this is a nice way to spend a couple of hours during Dubai's lovely post-summer weather.

It's actually not a museum...it's a warehouse...a huge hall with a labyrinth of anything/everything that you can imagine! If you need a souvenir, a gift, pashmina scarf, a bed cover, a cushion cover, an arabic lamp, a waterpipe, a rosewood chest...you can find absolutely EVERYTHING there!
It's very hard to find...most of us get lost and can't find it the first couple of times. So just call that number and they will explain to you how to find it.
Remember to go there with a lot of patience (you easily spend 2 hours there) and bargaining skills...

CINCINNATI — A massive goodwill charge at the Ralphs banner, aggressive price investments and lingering deflation helped drive Kroger Co.'s third-quarter profits off a cliff.
