Welcome to the Turrell Fund web site.
The Turrell Fund was founded in 1935 by Herbert and Margaret Turrell. Its principal interest lies in support of organizations that help youth, with special emphasis on the needy youngster. The first priority area is direct services to children. Capital requests are considered, but are of secondary priority.
Our application process has recently undergone substantial changes. We encourage interested parties to review this web site before contacting the Fund or submitting an application. The Turrell Fund now requires grantseekers (prospective grantees and exisitng grantees alike) to submit their applications on line.
Please Note...
The number and size of our grants will continue to be less than in prior years. We encourage all applicants to aggressively seek supplementary and alternative sources of funding. In addition, please note that the Turrell Fund has significantly increased its focus and priority on grants in support of advocacy, policy, and services which support infants and toddlers.
Even agencies that have traditionally received funding from the Turrell Fund, may not receive grants in the future, or receive grants that are materially less than past amounts.
Vermont Agencies...
The Turrell Fund is pleased to announce the application and selection process for the 21st Annual S. Whitney Landon Awards, which will be presented at the 2016 Turrell Fund Day for Children to be held in Burlington on June 2, 2016.

Red Boots in Green TanksThursday, December 25th, 2014
The IDF is testing out a new initiative to improve battlefield performance and integration, according to the IDF blog.
Commanders in infantry units, starting with paratroopers — noted for their distinct red boots, have been undergoing tank training, teaching them how to both operate and command a tank.
The operational goal is for infantry commanders to better understand the workings, capabilities and tactical usage of tanks, so they can better deploy and utilize their services in the field.
During Operation Protective Edge, infantry troops and armored units worked closely together in Gaza, and the IDF hopes that a better understanding of the other unit's tools, weapons, capabilities and tactics will increase battlefield performance even further.
The IDF has been running similar programs for IDF infantry officers with the Air Force and Navy — resulting in more accurate and more effective use of the Air Force and Navy's tactical capabilities on the battlefield.
If the infantry-tank pilot program is successful with the paratroopers, it will be extended to all the infantry units.Jewish Press News Briefs

IT WAS ALL over a bike.
A teenager was recovering last night at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia after a male shot him at point-blank range in a brazen shooting in Point Breeze, police said.
About 4:30 p.m. yesterday, an undercover detective from the police Major Crimes Unit working on an unrelated case saw two men approach a Chevrolet Impala parked on 20th Street near Morris, Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

34 problems related to electronic stability control have been reported for the 2006 Hyundai Sonata.
I went to my car to get a blanket and noticed that my brake lights will not turn off and my esc off light is on.
The escoff and abs lights illuminate once in a while. Intermittently, this problem also have the check engine light on. After over night or waiting for couple of hours and starting the vehicle it goes off.
After driving about 5 to 10 miles my esc off censor comes on & does not go off by pushing esc button ,until I turn off vehicle.
2006 Sonata: the esc abs light comes on and pushing the on/off switch does not put it out. If I shut the car off and re start, the dash light goes out sometimes; may return the next time I start the car. .
Air bag light in instrument panel remains on at all times. Esc indicator turns off at random times while driving. Rear suspension knocks when fuel tank is low (I. E. Near empty).
Car hesitate to start. Once on esc off light is on and you can go any faster than 15mph. If you turn the car off and crank it again the light goes off but you can go pass 2500 remember or else it bucks and jerks and engine revs but you can't increase your speed. It has the same symptoms of recall for the 3. 3 like engine, but Hyundai will not fix it because my engine is 2. 4l. I just bought the car from Hyundai on April 25, 2015.
The esc off indicator light goes on and off at start of vehicle. Hyundai needs to do a recall on this issue as I am not the only one having this problem. This is a very costly repair.
The "esc off" light on the dashboard display on my Hyundai Sonata 2006 model keeps coming up intermittently. I checked and did not find any open recalls on this. According to my research on the web this seems to be a common Hyundai issue / problem across different Hyundai models including Sonata, so I do not understand why Hyundai has not identified the root cause and issued a recall to fix this. Is there some other common resolution for this that need to be carried out by members of the public in the interim?.
I have been having the abs/esc light come on periodically but usually when I turn the car off and back on again the abs/esc light would go off. But now my check engine light is on as well as the abs/esc light. The check engine light stays on but the abs/esc light does not come on until I hit the brakes for the first time while driving. Hyundai Sonata 2006 3. 3l v. 6.
Under regular driving conditions the brake pedal would become so hard that they could not be pressed down, the speed would decline to 5 miles per hour and the car would start smoking. The abs and esc light would come and wouldn't go off until car is turned off. This s due to a faulty abs hecu unit (hydraulic and electronic control unit) and the right front upper control arm. I contacted Hyundai who wouldn't pay the dealer to fix my 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS v6 with 65,263 miles. They advised that the isn't under warranty, however, the abs hecu unit is faulty. This is a safety concern for myself and fellow drivers.
On March 9th, 2015, I was driving home from work after picking up my infant daughter from daycare when several warning lights illuminated on the dashboard of my 2006 Hyundai Sonata; the airbag, abs, and esc off warning lights. In preparation for the upcoming left turn into my neighborhood, I tapped the brake pedal to disengage the cruise control and coast to the intersection. The cruise control did not disengage. I applied more pressure to the brake pedal to slow down, but upon releasing the brake the vehicle returned to the set cruise speed. I now applied as much pressure as I possibly could to the brake pedal and the cruise control set light did not disengage. The Sonata downshifted and revved up to 4k rpm attempting to overpower my braking. At this point it was too late to avoid the intersection. I placed the car into neutral and swerved to avoid hitting an oncoming vehicle and median, at the turn. The Sonata spun out and came to rest in the oncoming traffic lanes after overshooting the turn. I verified my daughter was uninjured then proceeded to drive the Sonata, at idle, the remaining 1/8th of a mile to my house. After arriving at home, I visited Hyundai's and the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle recall information web pages and found no recalls regarding my Sonata's VIN.
My vehicle lights for the ecs system, seat belt and airbag keeps illuminating. I took it to Hyundai here in jacksonville and was told that a diagnostic for $94, would need to be done to see why the esc light is on. The air bag light will go off when the seat cushion is recalibrated but, something is wrong with my seat belts(both), so it will stay on and therefor the air bags will not deploy on impact, I pray that I dont get into any accidents till I find out what the problem is. Why arent the seats belts part of the recall for the airbag system? they work inconjuction with each other. The esc was suppose to have been fixed in 09 but here it is 2014 and the same thing is happening again, the same problem as before. I have to pull over turn the car off and wait a minute to restart it only to have the light come on again once I start to drive. What is wrong with this car, it is suppose to be safe.
All of a sudden the esc off light turned on my vehicle. Took it to the dealer for inspection and found that there is a problem with the g sensor and esc module. Researched in the net and found that this issue was reported multiple times in the past for similar models. The cost of replacing the piece from out of pocket is outrages and need help in getting attention from the manufacturer to address this manufacturing defect.
Vehicle skids of road and the esc light came on. The light has been on since and its not going back. The back wells are making funny noise and vibrates at speed of over 50mph.
Over the course of a few days, the driver's air bag light started to be lit continuously while an occupant was in the seat. Initially, the light would come on and then go out after a few moments. However, after approximately a week of the on/off, the light then remained lit anytime the car was on. A few weeks later, the esc off light began to light up while driving the car. The light would come on while the car was in motion and would not shut off/turn esc on unless the car was stopped, turned off, and then back on. The issue has appeared sporadically, usually when associated with a turn. It has happened approximately 10 times thus far.
I was driving on the highway, going about 60 mph, and suddenly the esc off light came on and and I could not able to switch it off with esc control button. Its quiet frequent now whenever car touches 60 mph and sometime it automatically comes within city driving 30-40 mph. I have taken my vehicle to wheel works for the checkup and they suggested to get it checked with dealer as it could be a sign of a bigger problem. I have also read several forums and come to know that many consumers are facing similar problem and it could be related to accelerator pedal or brake pedal. This is also known problem to Hyundai but they are not doing a recall for this known problem. Please help in assisting on this problem and your urgent action will be appreciated.
The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. While driving approximately 35 mph, the electronic stability control and check engine warning indicators illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle's speed suddenly decelerated. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 127,000.
The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled intermittently. The vehicle would also accelerate and decelerate independently. The failure was recurring. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign id number: 05v316000 (electronic stability control). The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who replaced the brake switch but the failure recurred. Additionally, the warning lights for the air bags, brakes, and battery were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the electronic stability control module and the sensor box to the esc would need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact later noticed that the vehicle was smoking as it stalled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
"esc off" light is "on" and can't be reset. Hyundai has numerous complaints about this failure of a safety related system and doesn't seem interested in repairing what is a systemic deficiency. I think a recall is warranted.
The esc off light turned on by itself. When pushing the button for the esc off, nothing happened. A few days later I noticed a minor stutter-step of the car's forward motion with a slight grinding noise, and the esc off light was illuminated again. The esc off light stayed illuminated. When I arrived at my destination, I shut the car off then turned it on again. The esc light was no longer illuminated. August 27, 2014, I left my car at the dealership and proceeded to work, they "found damage to left-front wheel speed sensor and left-front tone wheel. They also stated both the speed sensor and left-front tone wheel need to be replaced before further diagnosis could be performed. August 30, 2014, I was traveling at approximately 40 m. P. H. When traffic ahead began slowing. I applied the brakes and the car didn't just stutter & grind, it was like one side of the vehicle wasn't braking at all and the other side was breaking hard. The car jerked side to side for a short distance then seemed to right itself. The esc off light was now illuminated again. If I had been traveling any faster, or in heavier traffic, this certainly would have caused me to have an accident. I feel this is a design flaw, not an error on my part as the consumer, and believe this to be a life and death safety issue. My brakes have never been worked on and there's no logical reason for the speed sensor and left-front tone wheel to be damaged.
I turned the car on and the dashboard lights indicated all affected parts listed above went on. Drove the car for 3 miles and shut it off for 2 hours. Turned the car back on and had the same problem. I've read many owners with the same issue, but haven't seen a resolution this this problem. This is a very serious issues god forbid the air bags don't eject in a accident. What do I do??.
Esc sensor would light up on and off. Took it to mechanic and they could not find problems with the vehicle. Reset the sensor. The esc goes on and off all of the time. It will stay on for a month and then not be on for 2 months. This appears to be an ongoing issue from other boards that I have seen. This needs to be fixed.
Noticed a shimmy vibration louder than normal while driving to work on highway, upon exiting on main road heard very loud thump bang on left rear drivers side. I assumed it was a blow out as I couldn't steer the car (pulling to right) but managed to make into parking lot off the main. Upon inspection left rear tire still on car not flat, but on a total slant approx 45 degree. I was very glad to be off highway however still this is a major safety issue. After towing to garage, mechanic called me later and said the entire rear sub-frame rotted and broke from car needing to replace everything suspension sub-frame, including control arms, and would need an alignment, he also said that's why my tires wore down quicker than usual due to suspension issue. I didn't contact dealer since car no longer on warranty, after checking the internet for used parts (could not afford new parts as mechanic's estimate was already at the $1800. 00 mark) was surprised to see the hundreds of complaints already posted with this same issue. I did repair the car with a total bill (used/recycled parts) for $1567. 00. I still did not feel safe driving this car. Why would it take so long to have a recall. . . It is obvious this is a defect which could cause serious crash, fatality serious injury and should be covered by Hyundai for repair or full reimbursement.
Earlier in the day when I was driving with my nephew and sister, the esc light came on. The next time I drove it, the light did not come on and was not on at the time of this incident. I was driving in my neighborhood, turning a corner, when I heard a loud clunk from the driver rear side. I stopped and saw a large rusty metal piece had detached from the frame on that side and was dragging on the road, the wheel was tipped out wobbly. I knew it could not be driven. I called aaa and had it towed to a local garage. Due to holiday weekend, my husband saw the mechanic on Monday 7/8/13, who diagnosed it as a rear subframe corrosion and failure. He advised us to check for a recall as he was familiar with a prior front frame recall a few years ago. He had other repairs ahead of us, so we had it towed to our mechanic 15 miles away. When our mechanic got it on the lift we were told the damage was very severe: the rear end was rotted, needing removal/replacement of rear crossmember, 2 upper and 2 lower arms, l/r upper control arm and joint, with rear shocks and mounts, and alignment. We called Hyundai regional office, opened case # 5870260. The agent reported no recalls and this was not under warranty, but he stated he was "very familiar" with this type of problem in other years and models. He advised contacting the dealership, as they may be able to do something. (herb chambers of auburn, MA. ) the service manager at the dealership advised us to have it towed to them at our expense (40mi. ) his lack of empathy and telling us that Hyundai would take little or no responsibility for repairs, outside of a recall, prompted us to have our mechanic do the work. Repairs were done with Hyundai factory parts, ($2,640 including labor). We are convinced that the vehicle has a defect which could have caused a crash, serious injury, and/or death had it happened in any other circumstance.
Casual driving just proceeding from a stop sign and suddenly esc flashes and steering got stiff and brakes seemed to stutter and grinding sound without my pressing of brake. Had costly repair done at Hyundai dealer and exactly 12 months later same problem. The esc seems to be an issue and does interrupt normal driving even if the esc is off.
While turning corners the engine shuts down and unable to turn steering wheel. Restart car and it works again. Has happened numerous times. Airbag light has been on continuously. Brake lights replaced freq. Cruise control no longer works. Esc light comes on intermittently. Had to use shift lock release numerous times for 2 days at a time. I am unable to put the car into reverse or park and I have to use the shift lock release to move the gears. Heat and air conditioner stop working a few seconds at a time. Engine light comes on for a few days at a time. If I hit the brakes hard the esc light will come on and do not go off for days. Cigarette lighters replaced and one still will not work. Head lights dim intermittently. I have brought back to dealership many times and have spent hundreds of dollars and time off work and problems return quickly.
The esc comes on everyday I start the car then it comes off when the car is turned off completely.
Stop lamp switch was replaced under recall in sept 09. Same part went again in approx July 2011. Charged for diagnostics and replacement of stop lamp switch 1429 ckr $79. 95 and 1 93810-sk000 switch asm $6. 60 for a total of $86. 55. Dealer, motorworld of wilkes barre, PA indicated that I already had recall done so I would have to pay for this repair. I also own a 2011 Sonata and had to have the same part replaced two months ago (under warranty). Seems like there is still a problem with this part.
Ecs warning light along with check engine and abs warning lights came on when turning key in ignition. This has happened twice since, with esc and abs warning lights coming on while driving.
Lights across instrument cluster will not go off including: esc off, check engine, airbags and abs. There is also a visibility issue regarding the sun visor on the driver side. These are all issues that I have seen many other people are having as well and are potentially dangerous.
I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata 3. 3. I started my car one morning and had no acceleration in the gas peddle. I turned the car off got husband and we restarted it and had no problem. I then took a trip to houston a few weeks later and again had the problem happen to me a few times there. I did not know what to do and had to return home. I called the dealership in houston and they said it would be a minimum of $100 dollars or more to just see what was wrong. My husband said to bring it home and we will check on it. On my trip home the esc off light kept coming on and I lost acceleration while in motion on interstate 10. This happened to me many of times on the return trip home. When it went out on me, several times I had to coast to the side of the road and 3 times nearly got hit in the rear and 1 time was seriously almost rammed in the rear while on the side of the road letting the car rest before restarting it. The most terrifying moment was going over the bridge in baton rouge, la. And the esc off light kicked in and I lost acceleration and there was no side road to pull over on. I had to come to a complete stop to turn off the car and restart it 3 times before the esc off light went off and I again had acceleration. Then about 20 miles outside of metairie, la. Where I was heading, it started sputtering. The rpms would go down and the car would pull back, then they would jump up and the car would jerk forward. I finally made it to my destination what is normally a 4 1/2 hr drive turned in to a very stressful and fearful 8 hr drive. I did look up on google about 2006 Sonata's and esc off light and found many off people having the same problem. I am putting the car in the shop tomorrow morning. I read of a woman having this problem and her car accelerating on her and plunged into a tree. This sounds to me a serious matter and seems it is going to be extremely expensive to fix when it seems to be a manufactures defect and should be fixed by Hyundai.
At first it was the radio, turning on and off by itself when I would try to lower the volume it would be louder. My headlights would go out and turn on again, my emergency brake light will turn on as my car would stop in the middle of the street. Air bag deployment sign is on and the bag it is not deployed. The abs, esc and other glow lights will turn on; sometimes I cant roll down the windows or lock the car with the button. Now my car will not start, no power and it resets my clock. I have gone to the dealership twice and they are greedy money hungry !@#$% who do not care for their customers, I replaced the battery and the alternator and its been through diagnostics and the alternator was the only thing found wrong. I have issues with the car at least twice a day and three times its died completely. This is an 2006 Hyundai Sonata it should not give me these problems.
I received notification from my dealership that my rear disc brakes on my 2006 Hyundai Sonata needed to be replaced (pads, rotors). My car currently has 56k miles on it, and any car I've ever owned never need a rear brake job (pads only) before 100k miles. The front disc brake pads were just replaced in November, and during that visit the technicians stated that all brakes (after the job) were fine. Additional issues with car, repaired during recall: esc light displayed on dashboard abs light displayed on dashboard airbag light displayed on dashboard.
That's the problem there is no serious event leading up to the problem. It is happening because theses cars are not built for safety. I have had my car for 5 months and there are some serious problems, Hyundai and you all may not think so but it is. If it was your car that had all of these problems you would be complaining also. Problems that I have with my Hyundai Sonata: passenger airbag light on every time you crank up, airbag light in the dash board on, check engine light (sensors going bad in the car). If its not equipped for the car don't try something that's going to have people spending out of the pockets and then paying for a car also. Recalls on 06 Hyundai Sonata what's the purpose if it cant be fixed everything on the recall list is happening to my car. If I had a second chance I would not have bout that !@#$% from Hyundai.

Super easy and quick to make. I used white chia seeds instead of the ground flax seeds. I used natural organic peanut butter, sugar-free honey substitute and added a little more oatmeal because it was a little to "wet" and difficult to shape into balls. I used a mini scoop and ended up with 23 balls. I enjoy the flavor and like that they are a healthy treat. Made for PAC Spring 2013.

Building bright Mediterranean flavors, one tweak at a time
On a menu full of appealing pork- and beef-centric dishes at the Rumpus Room downtown, it was the octopus salad that leaped out.
Such clean, nimble flavors - this was an irresistible dish, light and bright on the palate. True, the meat dishes have clear, big flavors, too; nothing is muddled on this menu. But that salad, with its herb and citrus note and contrasting textures, is compelling. »Read Full Article(1)

Princess Fiona rescues First Stage Children's Theater's 'Shrek'
Early in "Shrek," the green-hued monster tells his faithful sidekick that ogres, like onions, have many layers. But as Donkey knows, there's more than one way to peel this metaphor. Late in the show, Donkey accuses Shrek of being wrapped in so many layers that he has lost touch with his feelings.
Donkey could have been describing the plaster and latex monstrosity encasing the head of John Maclay, who plays Shrek in the just-opened First Stage Children's Theater version of the Broadway musical, under Jeff Frank's direction. Intent on transforming a man into an ogre, First Stage risks missing the point: Appearances notwithstanding, this ogre feels and loves like a man. »Read Full Article(1)

A warm, lightweight, breathable, durable, and fast-dry mid-layer for many activities.
Calling the Black Diamond Men's CoEfficient Fleece Jacket a versatile mid-layer might be an understatement considering the fact that you take it out on every cold-weather excursion. Its high-range versatility is due to the unique Polartec Power Dry High Efficiency fleece fabric that covers your body with soft warmth. Not only does it warm you, it's remarkably breathable and dries fast so you stay comfortable while you hike up powder-capped peaks or pick up a sweat during climbing expeditions whether they're long alpine ascents in the Tetons or short sport routes late in fall. And it's especially durable to withstand all the beatings you inflict on it all year long.
A slim fit pulls the CoEfficient close to your body to both help you layer up for ski sessions and reduce bulk to your climbing attire. Stretchy cuffs feel soft on your wrists, and Black Diamond lined the neck with cozy chamois for additional comfort. One chest pocket is all you need for your phone and wallet while you climb up some peaks or drop down them.

fast drying and awesome
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: medium
fit, degree of insulation, and breathability is just perfect; feels warm and snug even when drenched in sweat after skinning up, and it doesn't stink even after 3x 20 km of backcountry split boarding.
Front zipper allows for instant cooling.
Cuffs stay where you put them even without thumb holes.
Best detail is the chest pocket. With a waterproof cover I can keep my iPhone alive for more than 10 hours of arctic temperatures (in my outer pocket it takes about an hour for the battery to quit)
Thanks for the feedback Christian!

Reply to the Comment on "Multiple scattering in a reflecting cavity: Application to fish scattering" [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 113, 2978–2979 (2003)] (L)115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1632481View Description Hide Description
In a recent letter, Ye and Chu comment on a previously published paper by the present authors ["Multiple scattering in a reflecting cavity: Application to fish counting in a tank," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 109, 2587–2597 (2001)]. This reply answers the questions asked in that letter and seeks to clarify some of the details in the original paper that may have led to a misunderstanding.
A simplified algorithm for second-order sound beams with arbitrary source distribution and geometry (L)115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1635409View Description Hide Description
An earlier investigation [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 108, 2759–2764 (2000)] of the simplified algorithm for the second-order sound fields with circular axial symmetry is extended to a more general case of the sound sources with an arbitrary distribution. This extension is based on the fact that the source function is expanded into the sum of a series of two-dimensional Gaussian ones. The two- and five-dimensional integral expressions for the primary and second-order fields are, respectively, reduced in terms of Gaussian functions and simple one-dimensional integrals. Numerical calculations are then greatly simplified.
Effect of talker and speaking style on the Speech Transmission Index (L)115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1635411View Description Hide Description
The Speech Transmission Index(STI) is routinely applied for predicting the intelligibility of messages (sentences) in noise and reverberation. Despite clear evidence that the STI is capable of doing so accurately, recent results indicate that the STI sometimes underestimates the effect of reverberation on sentence intelligibility. To investigate the influence of talker and speaking style, the Speech Reception Threshold in noise and reverberation was measured for three talkers, differing in clarity of articulation and speaking style. For very clear speech, the standard STI yields accurate results. For more conversational speech by an untrained talker, the effect of reverberation is underestimated. Measurements of the envelope spectrum reveal that conversational speech has relatively stronger contributions by higher (> 12.5 Hz) modulation frequencies. By modifying the STI calculation procedure to include modulations in the range 12.5–31.5 Hz, better results are obtained for conversational speech. A speaking-style-dependent choice for the STI modulation frequency range is proposed.

The diffraction of sound by an impedance sphere in the vicinity of a ground surface115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1628681View Description Hide Description
The problem of sound diffraction by an absorbing sphere due to a monopole point source was investigated. The theoreticalmodels were extended to consider the case of sound diffraction by an absorbing sphere with a locally reacting boundary or an extended reaction boundary placed above an outdoor ground surface of finite impedance. The separation of variables techniques and appropriate wave field expansions were used to derive the analytical solutions. By adopting an image method, the solutions could be formulated to account for the multiple scattering of sound between the sphere and its image near a flat acoustically hard or an impedance ground. The effect of ground on the reflected sound fields was incorporated in the theoreticalmodel by employing an approximate analytical solution known as the Weyl–van der Pol formula. An approximation solution was suggested to determine the scattering coefficients from a set of linearly coupled complex equations for an absorbing sphere not too close to the ground. The approximate method substantially reduced the computational time for calculating the sound field. Preliminary measurements were conducted to characterize the acoustical properties of an absorbing sphere made of open cell polyurethane foam. Subsequent experiments were carried out to demonstrate the validity of the proposed theoreticalmodels for various source/receiver configurations around the sphere above an acoustically hard ground and an impedance ground. Satisfactory comparative results were obtained between the theoretical predictions and experimental data. It was found that the theoretical predictions derived from the approximate solution agreed well with the results obtained by using the exact solutions.
Measurement of six acoustical properties of a three-layered medium using resonant frequencies115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1630998View Description Hide Description
An ultrasonic technique for a simultaneous determination of traveling times and acoustic impedances of three-layered, platelike specimens using a normally incident longitudinal wave is presented. The acoustical properties are determined by minimizing the difference between measured and calculated resonant frequencies in the well-known least-squares sense. The resonant frequencies of the layered structure are deduced, in transmission, from the maxima of the magnitude of the transmission spectrum, or, in reflection, from the π values of the phase of the reflection spectrum.Measurements are carried out in the frequency range 1–20 MHz for steel/aluminum/steel and silver/copper/nickel specimens with individual layer thickness values ranging from 0.3 mm to 2 mm. The differences between the inverted thicknesses and those measured directly with an optical microscope range from to Estimated error bounds suggest that the inverted travel times are accurate within with 95% probability.
Measurement of dependence of backscatter coefficient from cylinders on frequency and diameter using focused transducers—with applications in trabecular bone115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1631943View Description Hide Description
A theory for the elastic scattering response from a cylinder insonified by a plane wave was previously derived by Faran. In the present paper, the empirical relationship between Faran's theory and measurements of backscatter coefficient from cylindrical targets using focused transducers is investigated. Experimental measurements of dependence of backscatter coefficient on frequency and diameter for nylon wires are reported. It is found that, under certain conditions (including weak, incoherent scattering), backscatter coefficient measurements from collections of cylindrical scatterers may be meaningfully compared with Faran's model predictions. At low frequencies, the theory and experimental measurements exhibit similar dependences on frequency and diameter, provided that the scatterers are not too densely packed. At higher frequencies, the fine structure of Faran's predictions becomes difficult to reproduce experimentally with a focused transducer. Implications regarding applications to characterization of trabecular bone are discussed.
The role of the coupling term in transient elastography115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1635412View Description Hide Description
The transient radiation of low-frequency elastic waves through isotropic and homogeneous soft media is investigated using the Green's function approach. A careful analysis of the coupling term is performed and yields the introduction of a very near field region in which its amplitude behaves as To address the calculation of impulse responses, a simplified Green's function is proposed for semi-infinite media and compared to exact solutions. Impulse response calculations are successfully compared with experimental measurements obtained for circular radiators of different diameters using transient elastography. Results presented in this paper provide a better understanding of the role of the coupling term in elastography and should be used to compensate diffraction and coupling effects observed in transient elastography.
Acoustic cavity modes in lens-shaped structures115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1630996View Description Hide Description
A method for solving exactly the Helmholtz equation in parabolic rotational coordinates is presented using separability of the eigenfunctions and the Frobenius power series expansion technique. Two examples of interest in acoustics are considered and analyzed quasianalytically: The acoustic pressure in a cavity defined by two paraboloids (forming a lens-shaped structure) with (I) rigid wall boundary conditions and (II) pressure-release boundaries. The rigid-wall (pressure-release) acoustic enclosure problem is a Neumann (Dirichlet) boundary condition problem. In both cases, eigenfunctions and eigenmodes are calculated and the shape dependence of the eigenvalue for the ground state is examined.
Asymptotic solutions of the inhomogeneous Burgers equation115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1627839View Description Hide Description
The method of the active second harmonic suppression in resonators is investigated in this paper both analytically and numerically. The resonator is driven by a piston which vibrates with two frequencies. The first one agrees with an eigenfrequency and the second one is equal to the two times higher eigenfrequency. The phase shift of the second piston motion is 180 deg. It is known that for this case it is possible to describe generation of the higher harmonics by means of the inhomogeneous Burgers equation. This modelequation was solved for stationary state analytically by a number of authors but only for ideal fluids. Unlike their solutions, new asymptotic solutions are presented here which take into account dissipative effects. The asymptotic solutions are compared with numerical ones. For study of generation higher harmonics the solutions are developed in a spectral form.
Steady state unfocused circular aperture beam patterns in nonattenuating and attenuating fluids115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1631286View Description Hide Description
Single integral approximate formulas have been derived for the axial and lateral pressure magnitudes in the beam pattern of steady state unfocused circular flat piston sources radiating into nonattenuating and attenuating fluids. The nonattenuating formulas are shown to be highly accurate at shallow beam depths if a normalized form of the beam pattern is utilized. The axial depth of the beginning of the nonattenuated beam pattern far field is found to be at It is demonstrated that the nonattenuated lateral beam profile is represented at this and deeper depths by a Jinc function directivity term. Values of α and z are found that permit the attenuated axial pressure to be represented by a plane wave multiplicative attenuation factor. This knowledge should aid in the experimental design of high accuracy attenuation measurements. The shifts in depth of the principal axial pressure maxima and minima due to fluid attenuation are derived. Single integral approximate equations for the attenuated full beam patternpressure are presented using complex Bessel functions.

Spontaneous pattern formation in an acoustical resonator115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1635416View Description Hide Description
A dynamical system of equations describing parametric sound generation (PSG) in a dispersive large aspect ratio resonator is derived. The model generalizes previously proposed descriptions of PSG by including diffractioneffects and is analogous to the model used in theoretical studies of optical parametric oscillation. A linear stability analysis of the solution below the threshold of subharmonic generation reveals the existence of a pattern forming instability, which is confirmed by numerical integration. The conditions of emergence of periodic patterns in transverse space are discussed in the acoustical context.

Spherical wave propagation through inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence: Log-amplitude and phase correlations115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1628680View Description Hide Description
Inhomogeneity and anisotropy are intrinsic characteristics of daytime and nighttime turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer. In the present paper, line-of-sight sound propagation through inhomogeneous, anisotropicturbulence with temperature and velocity fluctuations is considered. Starting from a parabolic equation and using the Markov approximation, formulas are derived for the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of a spherical sound wave. These statistical moments of a sound field are important for many practical applications in atmospheric acoustics. The derived formulas for the correlation functions and variances generalize those already known in the literature for two limiting cases: (a) homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, and (b) inhomogeneous, anisotropicturbulence with temperature fluctuations only. Furthermore, the formulas differ from those for the case of plane wave propagation. Using the derived formulas and Mann's spectral tensor of velocity fluctuations for shear-driven turbulence, the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations are studied numerically. The results obtained clearly show that turbulence inhomogeneity and anisotropy significantly affect sound propagation in the atmosphere.

The sonar equation and the definitions of propagation loss115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1631939View Description Hide Description
A rigorous application of the traditional definition of sonar equation terms leads to the appearance of an unexpected factor, not routinely included, equal to the ratio of the characteristic impedance at the receiver to that at the source. An omission of this factor can lead to non-negligible errors for realistic conditions. It is further argued that a gradual change in the de facto definition of propagation loss occurred between 1965 and 1980. Two alternatives to the traditional sonar equation are suggested, each using one of the two propagation loss definitions and both eliminating the unwanted impedance ratio.
Tabu for matched-field source localization and geoacoustic inversion115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1635408View Description Hide Description
Tabu is a global optimization technique that has been very successful in operations research. In this paper, a Tabu-based method is developed for source localization and geoacoustic inversion with underwater sound data; the method relies on memory to guide the multiparameter search. Tabu is evaluated through a comparison to simulating annealing. Both methods are tested by inverting synthetic data for various numbers of unknown parameters. Tabu is found to be superior to the simulated annealing variant implemented here in terms both of accuracy and efficiency. Inversion results from the SWellEX-96 data set are also presented.

Propagation of ultrasonic guided waves in lap-shear adhesive joints: Case of incident Lamb wave115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1630999View Description Hide Description
This paper deals with the propagation of ultrasonicguided waves in adhesively bonded lap–shear joints. The topic is relevant to bond inspection by ultrasonic testing. Specifically, the propagation of the lowest-order, antisymmetric mode through the joint is examined. An important aspect is the mode conversion at the boundaries between the single-plate adherents and the multilayer overlap. The strength of transmission is studied for three different bond states in aluminum joints, namely a fully cured adhesive bond, a poorly cured adhesive bond, and a slip bond. Theoretical predictions indicate that the dispersive behavior of the guided waves in the multilayer overlap is highly dependent on bond state. Experimental tests are conducted in lap–shear joints by a hybrid, broadband laser/air-coupled ultrasonic setup in a through-transmission configuration. The Gabor wavelet transform is employed to extract energy transmission coefficients in the 100 kHz 1.4 MHz range for the three different bond states examined. The cross-sectional mode shapes of the guided waves are shown to have a substantial role in the energy transfer through the joint.
Ultrasonic interferometry for the measurement of shear velocity and attenuation in viscoelastic solids115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1631944View Description Hide Description
A method for the measurement of the shear properties of solid viscoelastic materials is presented. The viscoelastic material is cut into a cylindrical sample which is clamped between two rods. The transmission and reflection coefficientspectra of the fundamental torsional mode through the sample are measured by means of two pairs of piezoelectric transducers placed at the free ends of the rod-sample-rod system. Such spectra exhibit maxima and minima which occur approximately at the resonance frequencies of the free viscoelastic cylinder. Therefore, the shear velocity can be obtained by measuring the frequency interval between two consecutive maxima or minima. The shear attenuation is derived by best fitting the analytical expression of the reflection and transmission coefficients to the experimental spectra. The test is very quick to set up as the sample is simply clamped between the two rods.
Local surface skimming longitudinal wave velocity and residual stress mapping115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1631938View Description Hide Description
Local variation in surface skimming longitudinal wave (SSLW) velocity has been measured using a scanning acoustic microscope. A very narrow width electrical impulse has been used to excite the transducer of the acoustic lens. This permits the separation of the SSLW signal from the direct reflected signal in the time domain. A simple method of measuring the time delay between the directly reflected signal and the SSLW signal at two defocuses has been utilized for the local measurement of SSLW velocity. The variation in the SSLW velocitymeasured over an area of the sample is scaled and presented as an image. The method has been implemented to image the variation of the SSLW velocity around a crack tip in a sample of Ti-6Al-4V. Since the SSLW velocity is known to change linearly with the stress, the SSLW velocityimage is considered as a representation of the image of stress around the crack tip. Local stress variation in the same region of the crack tip is directly measured using x-ray diffraction. The SSLW velocityimage is compared with the x-ray diffraction stress image. The contrast in the two images, spatial resolution, and the penetration depth into the sample of acoustic waves and x rays are discussed.
Interaction of a scanning laser-generated ultrasonic line source with a surface-breaking flaw115(2004); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1630997View Description Hide Description
The scanning laser source (SLS) technique has been proposed recently as an effective way to investigate small surface-breaking cracks. By monitoring the amplitude and frequency changes of the ultrasound generated as the SLS scans over a defect, the SLS technique has provided enhanced signal-to-noise performance compared to the traditional pitch–catch or pulse–echo ultrasonic methods. In previous work, either a point source or a short line source was used for generation of ultrasound. The resulting Rayleigh wave was typically bipolar in nature. In this paper, a scanning laser line source (SLLS) technique using a true thermoelastic line source (which leads to generation of monopolar surface waves) is demonstrated experimentally and through numerical simulation. Experiments are performed using a line-focused Nd:YAG laser and interferometric detection. For the numerical simulation, a hybrid model combining a mass-spring lattice method (MSLM) and a finite difference method (FDM) is used. As the SLLS is scanned over a surface-breaking flaw, it is shown both experimentally and numerically that the monopolar Rayleigh wave becomes bipolar, dramatically indicating the presence of the flaw.

Marathon boom – How to choose the right one: Reasonable planning on registering for a marathon
The fascination of a marathon captures more and more runners every year. Ambitious athletes all over the world aspire to experience the illustrious discipline of running.Increasing attendance figures and the variety of marathon events prove the boom.
Top-act or intimate?
From less than 1,000 participants to big events with almost 50,000 starters – the attendance numbers vary considerably. When making a decision on a certain marathon, every athlete needs to consider the advantages as well as disadvantages of both larger and smaller events. Big ones, such as the Marathon Majors Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York, are perfectly organised, ensure the best support for participants and are accompanied by thousands of enthusiastic spectators along the track. The runner competes with national and international top athletes; an additional challenge for ambitious runners.
Smaller marathons, however, offer the appeal of a more "intimate"
Near or far?
Popular marathon destinations in the UK, such as London, Edinburgh or Glasgow, are highly frequented and guarantee unforgettable running experiences as well as an international field of competitors. Those who seek the athletic challenge beyond their own country's borders are again confronted with plenty of opportunities. A marathon in a foreign region offers runners with itchy feet the perfect chance to realise long-planned trips. In that case, more questions emerge. Are there entry regulations and / or deadlines to consider? Are additional vaccinations or any prophylaxis necessary, and do I have enough time for that? Does the marathon organisation demand a medical (do I have one and how old is it)? How safe is the current political situation in the country? Do I have to exchange money and how much am I allowed to bring? Am I informed about the general import and export regulations (stay away from forbidden "souvenirs"!)?
If these issues are sorted out, the running experience in Rio, Dubai or the Sahara can get started.
Beginner or advanced?
The decision on whether to attend a certain marathon is chiefly based on each individual's performance level and competition experience. Everybody who takes part in a marathon for the first time should not run the whole distance, but choose the 10km or half marathon alternative. Besides the 42km, many events also offer the shorter distances. Thereby, runners can test their competition performance and get accustomed to the experience of a professionally-
In order to keep track of the personal performance, the usage of running tools for support in training as well as in competitions is especially helpful. Easy-to-use running computers like the JogStyle from Omron reliably provide essential data, such as current and average speed, distance and time. Thanks to the 3-D sensor technology and memory function, users can analyse and improve their individual performance curve. Thus, runners are able to control their training efficiency, and will know which marathon is the right choice.

20 September 2012
The team at RSPB Coombes Valley are welcoming visitors to join them on night time walks into the wild woods, to see sights we rarely get to see.
The twilight walks will be taking place on Saturday 29 September and Saturday 13 October starting at 6pm from the RSPB Coombes Valley Visitor Centre.
With the help of bat detectors, people will be able to hear the strange ultrasonic calls from pipistrelle bats emerging from their daytime roost.
Nick Godden at RSPB Coombes Valley says: "The RSPB manages these fantastic woodland habitats for all nature. The woods of are swarming with insects, providing the perfect place for many different bats to hunt.
"Visitors might hear the calls of the tawny owl. Who knows what hidden treasures could be lurking in the shadows?"
After the evening walk, there will be the opportunity to have a look inside the moth trap, and see footage of the barn owl family that nested at the nature reserve this year.
Nick said: "There is wildlife literally bursting out of the woods and we want to share it with everyone! There is so much more to Coombes Valley than birds, it just needs people to get out there and discover it."
People are asked to bring a torch and come dressed appropriately. Walking boots or wellies are recommended.
The guided walk costs £2 for members and £4 for non members, children go free. Booking is advised, please call the reserve office on 01538 384017.

A ruthless scheme
Leaders would meet to plot strategy, scout target, then violently strike
Dionny Reynolds and Eugene Rhodes found each other's criminal ambitions so alluring that they quickly rejected all evidence that neither could stick to a plan.
Reynolds, the known street hood of 26, and Rhodes, the 19-year-old with no arrest record, were aware that big street gangs had largely been replaced by loosely formed crime crews in the city's poorest neighborhoods.
In the summer of 2004, they formed an alliance. Authorities believe hundreds of young men in Milwaukee's central city do the same every year, leaving untold scars in their wake.
Reynolds and Rhodes had planned, after sizing each other up, to rob restaurants and sock away the proceeds. They would scout every new target extensively. They would scheme in hotel rooms, away from the prying eyes and consciences of their families.
This qualified as extensive strategy for the brawny, calculating Rhodes and the smaller, hot-tempered Reynolds. Neither had a diploma, a job or what most would consider any kind of meaningful mission for their lives.
Reynolds, in a prison interview, had the rationale for going after restaurants:
"It's in they code of ethics, man. 'Somebody come in there, give it up. Don't fight with 'em, give it up.' Two dudes come in here, brandishing weapons and stuff, why argue with 'em, man? Give it up. It ain't yo' money . . . Don't put your life on the line for this, man."
Rhodes had the scheme:
"A lot of people think that Reynolds was the brains behind everything and I was the muscle, but it was sort of the other way around. I was more the brains of everything. So it'd be a place I'd see, and, you know, I'd case it. I'd watch it for a few days and whatnot, and I would go in and then I'd look around and see the cameras. I can notice a dummy camera anywhere. Kinda good with that. I'd see the cameras, see how many people working or whatnot. Then, I'd see how vulnerable it is . . . a time that police arrive by, leave at this time, you know, things like that. So I just - I mean, it really ain't nothing major, but I'd also develop an escape route, too."
For extra muscle, they brought in two people they could handle, if not completely rely on: Rhodes' childhood friend Anthony Bolden, and Marques Walls, a wild 16-year-old.
"If we had robberies or anything, somebody needed to get beat up, or somebody needed to get shot, anything, we'd talk him into doing it," Rhodes said of Walls. "He'd be, like, 'Man, I'll do it, I'll do it.' We would give him weed, and we'd give him liquor, get him amped up and then he'd go do it."
A string of robberies
Retired District Attorney E. Michael McCann, who would end up prosecuting Reynolds, recalled that one of many police interrogations of the crew yielded a simple summation.
"They said they would rob anything that moved," McCann said. "Isn't that something?"
How much larceny they committed is hard to pin down.
Criminal records attribute 10 armed robberies to various permutations of the group, beginning with a Sept. 6, 2004, KFC stickup and ending with a Nov. 2 Wauwatosa Dairy Queen robbery that got them caught. Walls said they actually started in July and stole from "about 20-something" restaurants before the spree ended.
Sometimes the crimes involved violence - the extent of which gave even Rhodes pause.
"After a couple days being with him (Reynolds), we got together and we did something, man, and he just showed no remorse, no nothing," Rhodes said, declining to give specifics. "I would say (it was) robbery related. Somebody got injured during the robbery, and he showed no remorse. I was like, man."
The string of robberies might not have gone far but for a delay in the State Crime Lab - a delay that became a hot election issue the following year.
On July 6, while Reynolds was in the Milwaukee County Jail for an unrelated incident, the rest of the crew found trouble.
A 15-year-old girl from Waukesha County had casually met a 17-year-old boy the day before, and they exchanged phone numbers. They met again at Mayfair Mall on July 6, and they took the bus back to his neighborhood near N. 38th and W. Burleigh streets, where the crime crew - and their friends - were whiling away a day with liquor and marijuana.
One of them told police they passed the girl a bottle of E & J Brandy, which she swilled "like it was a soda," and a marijuana-filled cigar. Her own memory is hazy, and she eventually passed out.
A gang rape ensued. She was assaulted in a bathroom and on the floor of a trash-filled abandoned apartment. Five men ended up in prison on convictions of second-degree sexual assault of a child.
Bolden showed up in time to drive the girl to Rose Park, 3045 N. King Drive, where she was dumped on the roadside. Before abandoning her, Bolden had sex that he claims was consensual.
"I didn't take it from her," Bolden said, but "I did have sex with her, and by law, me being 19 and her 15, I couldn't have had sex with her."
It would be October before the first criminal charges were filed in the July 2004 gang rape. And critically, it took until February 2005 for a DNA swab to run through the state's database and match with a sample given in early 2003 by a felon: convicted marijuana dealer Anthony Bolden.
The delay in processing the sample ultimately would become a controversial topic in the state attorney general race last fall. Politicians argued over how to devote more resources to DNA testing.
If Bolden's DNA match had been made within three months after the rape, police could have picked him up easily.
Then he couldn't have helped Reynolds with the stickup on Oct. 29, 2004,that would come to define both men's lives.
The wheels begin to come off
By that October night, the crew's robbery rate had intensified. Authorities would later link nine restaurant heists to the crew between Sept. 6 and Oct. 28.
The methods varied a little, but always involved someone running in - often Walls, Reynolds or both - with what they would claim later to police was a BB gun. They would order the workers to the ground and empty the registers. Once, the crew robbed the Checkers fast food restaurant where Bolden worked at the time of the spree. He lay down with the other restaurant staff after providing inside information to the crew.
On Oct. 24, Rhodes and Reynolds hit a Subway sandwich shop on W. Burleigh St. for the second time. The risky move netted them just $100, lower than their average haul. Rhodes called it "a prime example" of the bad decision-making they had fallen into. Crew members say they had taken to drinking and drugging more. Relationships among the volatile young men got less and less stable.
They were flashing so much cash around that Walls' mother asked where it came from. The best cover story he had: They were selling drugs. Parents in more innocent neighborhoods might have been shocked. To Walls' mother, it seemed plausible and relatively harmless. She saw people in front of her house routinely using drugs. Someone had to be selling to them.
She was on probation for a felony fraud count.
"I would've turned them in if I'd known they were doing robberies," Brenda Walls said. "I can't take no chances here while I'm on paper like I was then. I just woulda took the chance with Marques going to jail and all that. I kinda wish I had knew."
What happened Oct. 29 was a departure from everything else the group members have ever been charged with - or anything they will admit to today.
"Everybody we robbed was our own people, black people," Reynolds said. "I got this thing: I don't mess with them (white people), and they don't mess with me. I mess with people who I know I can pull it and get away with it with. Mess with the other people, they gonna send them people at us."
A cup of coffee
John Patrick Balchunas was named after both grandfathers but called "Jay" since birth because his mother wanted it that way. He personified everything a streetwise hood like Reynolds should have avoided on Oct. 29.
The 34-year-old special agent for the state Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation headed into Reynolds' neighborhood on a familiar assignment: Drive to the crime-wracked north side to watch a suspected drug house. His five years as a state agent followed seven as a Milwaukee cop focusing on the same seamy streets. He knew them as well as any outsider could.
He climbed into his blue Camaro wearing clothes that mapped his public-service DNA: a state agent's badge, a blue windbreaker from the Milwaukee Police Department, a New Berlin Fire Department sweatshirt and, under it all, a T-shirt from the Chicago Police Department, whose badge his great-grandfather had worn.
Around midnight, he pulled into a Shell gas station at N. 37th St. and W. Villard Ave. on the way to the stakeout. Not normally a coffee drinker, Balchunas wanted a cup because a long night loomed.
Inside, a clerk was fuming because the guy working the next shift was late. By the time Balchunas - wearing his badge on his belt and his gun inside his jacket - poured his 50-cent coffee, a line of customers was waiting for the shift-changing clerks to finish counting cash.
A snap decision
According to statements taken by police, the following sequence of events unfolded: Reynolds and Bolden drove up. Reynolds had wanted to rob a marijuana dealer who shot at him in June, and he needed a wingman. Bolden had his fiancée's burgundy Dodge Intrepid and was available.
Reynolds thought the designated victim would be selling his marijuana near the Shell at 37th and Villard, and he directed Bolden there. They parked the car, got out and stood on the sidewalk across Villard from the gas station, watching as the blue Camaro pulled up. A white man got out, and immediately, their plans changed.
"I would imagine that they would see a white guy, they'd think he's vulnerable," said Rhodes, part of the crew but not with Reynolds and Bolden that night. "He probably wouldn't be carrying no gun, nine times out of 10 he wouldn't. They felt he was vulnerable, they felt he was weak, felt he was easy prey."
A surprise
The windbreaker, which bore only a smallish MPD logo, looked nondescript - and it hung low enough to partly conceal the victim's beltline.
Bolden and Reynolds pulled the white man aside. Reynolds held a pistol while Bolden patted the man down. He felt a weapon through the coat.
"Gun!" he yelled.
It didn't cross his mind that Balchunas could be a police officer, let alone a state agent in street clothes.
Then he heard Jay Balchunas's last healthy words: "I'm a cop, I'm a cop, don't do . . . "
Bolden said he heard two blasts. Only one shell was found.
The trigger had been pulled so fast Bolden hadn't had time to duck. He felt the air rush by his shoulder in the bullet's wake.
Reynolds said he "panicked" and fired the gun.
Moments later, Reynolds and Bolden were driving away, leaving Balchunas on his knees, bleeding and gasping into his police radio.
"This is Balchunas. I need help," he repeated over the radio. "I've been shot at 37th and Villard."
They found his 50-cent cup of coffee spilled on the ground a few feet away.

Michele Waslin: Without the promise of a green card, legalization is nothing more than an expanded temporary worker program, running the risk of creating a second-class citizen with the right to work, but with no incentives to put down roots, become U.S. citizens, and fully integrate.
Sanctuary Cities and the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program: Two Things that Do Not Go Together
Michele Waslin: Despite the clear facts, radio-show hosts, politicians, and immigration restrictionists still want you to believe that cities receiving SCAAP reimbursements are providing "sanctuary" to criminals. Maybe next they'll try to convince you immigrants are responsible for global warming and teenage obesity—wait, been there, done that.
A Look Into Lamar Smith's Anti-Immigrant Agenda
Andrea Nill: Described as a lawmaker who is "less interested in getting in the spotlight and more interested in driving immigrants out of the country," Smith will undoubtedly use his leadership position to push through his anti-immigrant agenda.
Young Immigrant Breaks Down While Sharing Her 'Greatest Fear' With Obama
Andrea Nill: The Obama administration can do something about processing backlogs, however it's up to Congress to reform the immigration system.Currently, the visa system is currently outdated by over twenty years and does not meet the needs or demands of a 21st century globalized economy — let alone immigrant families.
Van Jones Affirms That Immigrants Lead a Greener Life
Andrea Nill: Jones noted that "there is a greenwashing of hate that is going on in our country." Anti-immigrant front groups are using "green concerns as a bludgeon against immigrants and low-income communities."
The Accented Silence of Tibi Ellis
Mario Solis-Marich: The question for Ellis, and other Latino GOP elected and community leaders, is why are you bringing hate into the homes of Nevada Latinos? Ellis admittedly knows that political hate speech, such as displayed in the Angle ad, is not only despicable but also has led to a rise in hate crimes against our community.
Fueling Flames of Dissent Around Illegal Immigration: If Colin Powell Can't Call It, Nobody Can
Anthony Samad: Colin Powell called on his party to break out of its anti-immigration bag and provide some policy solutions to a difference kind of crisis in our country. But he didn't know exactly what those solutions would be.
Colin Powell Makes a Case for the DREAM Act
Seth Hoy: Former Secretary of State and retired General, Colin Powell, called for Republicans to stop driving the anti-immigrant bandwagon, made an economic case for immigration.
Undocumented Immigrants Giving Social Security, Baby Boomers a Big Boost
Seth Hoy: So as we pull out of the recession, employment rates return to normal and more and more Baby Boomers retire, who, exactly, is going to fill this gap? Enter immigration.
New Study Shows Immigrants Boost Wages And Productivity
Andrea Nill: The study conclusively states, "there is no evidence that these effects take place at the expense of jobs for workers born in the United States."
The Use and Abuse of the Fourteenth Amendment
John Peeler: Many conservatives are now pushing to amend the Constitution to change the provision of the Fourteenth Amendment that allocates citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. Unlike many examples of creative interpretation, this proposal would formally amend the amendment. Liberals learned in the 1970s, with the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, how hard it is to amend the Constitution; here is our chance to teach the same lesson to conservatives.
GOP: Bring Back 'Corruption of Blood'
Tina Dupuy: Now, to drum up hysteria about this alleged rash of pregnant Mexican border hoppers, the GOP's idea is to change the Constitution so that being without papers is treated more harshly than treason.
Turning the Tables at Netroots Nation: ICE Checkpoint Forces Participants to Think about Profiling
Will Coley: About ten of us, including several undocumented DREAM students, wore navy blue shirts and affixed paper ICE badges and patches to our hats and shirts. We stopped anyone who looked "European" and let all others pass without hindrance.

Earlier this year, comedian and actor Robin Williams was scheduled to bring his touring one-man show Weapons of Self-Destruction to Broadway in a limited engagement at the Neil Simon Theatre. However, a health scare caused Williams to cancel the tour. Healthy again and ready to make audiences laugh now, Robin Williams is starting the limited run of Weapons of Self-Destruction in New York City tonight. The re-scheduled engagement is not actually on Broadway (the Neil Simon is currently occupied by the Ragtime revival), but it is close – right in the heart of midtown, at Town Hall on West 43rd Street. Robin Williams: Weapons of Self-Destruction will play at Town Hall November 23-25, November 30, and December 1-3.

Aaron Grill: You see how you shake it to get it to come down? Mine seems to be in a state where it is permanently able to be shaken a tiny bit and fall down. How do I fix this?
- eniotna -: I have the 12 inch one and was always hurting my hands trying to clost it :'0 thanks men :)
Bailey (BaileyGoesLive): I got the middle segment closed but the top refuses to budge...
MrMich537: dude. thanks a hell lot.. you are the master :)
dylan dewalt: how do u open one stuck closed
Jamie Shindler: You, good sir, are AWESOME. I was seriously considering giving up / returning mine (bought it for a costume originally, didn't like the idea of having it laying around open around semi-inebriated party-goers or breaking someone's furniture / flooring getting it closed), but this method works like a charm. If I could point out one thing - you might want to make note of where exactly on the baton someone should 'thump.' I ended up trying several times at the larger joint before I watched again and realized I was doing it wrong. But thank you SO much for posting!
Guy Fawkes: Awesome i gonna totally use this
Veeraragavan N: Wow. Get out of here mr. +hunterws You sir saved my life. Thank you so much mr. machinist. That was simple & genius.
Iluv2killzombyz DJCreeperSlayer: thanks
Blakobness: Interesting, I never knew about this method so my tip is a bit scratched up from the straight-down concrete or hard surface method. I tried this out and I can tell you that you don't need to thwap it against a chair or anything, you can actually slap it into the heel of your hand and achieve the same results. This will make things much easier for me.
Pablo M: It was really helpful but the last (tip one) still didn't close and it doesn't look bent and I didn't slam it etc. but other did well. thanks
BeautyOnTest: You, Mister, are a life saviour.

Scott Finlay: This method works great, the tap method slightly bent mine, but it still works just fine.
Daniel Krider: thank, your method works best.
Alex Spencer: Thanks man, it worked, mine has just been laying on the floor open for about a week now.
Krzysztof Grabiński: Good method, it worked with mine once, now second time it is quite hard to get it closed and I don't want to make a hole in my furniture. They should make some button that would collapse that damn thing.
gottabefab: I love your dirty talk! ;)
thesnodude5150: U dont need a concealed carry permit they're not considered a deadly weapon they're actually a less then lethal weapon and can be carried either conceived or open carry. I carry my openly so motherfreakers know what's up!
