But they all dominated in pro football. Defenses and nicknames aren't so common in college football.
"It's hard for nicknames in college, because the guys are only there for two-to-four years as starters," said Phil Savage, the color commentator for Alabama radio broadcasts.
But now that people are comparing Alabama's defense to those in the NFL, maybe that should change.
The Crimson Tide is ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense (7 points per game), total defense (184.14 yards per game) and rushing defense (38.14). It is ranked fifth in passing defense (146).
Is this defense worthy of a nickname?
Last week, Ole Miss quarterback Randall Mackey praised Alabama to an extent.
"They've got a real good defense from the D-line to the secondary," he said. "There are still, I'm not going to say weaknesses, you know, they ain't Superman. So they can be beat."
Mackey then tugged on Superman's cape, completing a 59-yard pass on the game's third play. The Rebels ran for a touchdown two plays later.
Alabama answered with a 52-7 pounding.
During the radio broadcast, play-by-play man Eli Gold referenced Mackey's Superman remark.
"I said, 'Yeah, they aren't Superman. It's the entire arm of justice, with Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Superman,'" Savage said. "They were all out there Saturday night."
Because Crimson Tide has been Alabama's nickname since 1907, a nickname for the defense should probably stick with the water motif.
This defense doesn't come at an offense so much in waves as it does a powerful, destructive wall. It's a tidal wave.
"They definitely have left teams in their wake this year," Savage said.
If anyone is qualified to judge this defense by NFL standards, it might be Savage. He's the former general manager of the Cleveland Browns and now is a player-personnel executive with the Philadelphia Eagles.
"This defense is interesting, because I wouldn't say they're great at every position, but they're not weak at any position," Savage said. "They have a lot of depth. When you factor in the experience level that they gained from last year, they're just playing real well right now."
The Tide took some lumps last season, losing three games. It yielded 35 points to South Carolina and allowed Auburn to win 28-27 after leading 24-0.
"The struggles they had last year have been turned into a positive this year," Savage said. "Some of these teams have two weeks to game plan, and their offensive script might put a little dent in Alabama's defense early, but after they make those adjustments, it's over. It's just been really impressive."
Nick Saban also has NFL experience, but he has no interest in giving his defense a nickname.
"I just want them to play better, not give up a 65-yard and a 59-yard pass at the beginning of the game," he said. "Get off the field on third down, eliminate the big plays and continue to play the way we're capable of playing and stay focused on what we need to do as a team.
"I've got to give nicknames to stuff that we do during the game so the other team doesn't know what we're doing. That's about the extent of my sort of imagination to come up with nicknames."
Roughly two-thirds of people responding to a nickname poll on al.com said this defense doesn't need a nickname, but the "No-Name Defense" already is taken. That was the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
Alabama players are more worried about wreaking relentless havoc than they are about coming up with a nickname for the defense, although "relentless" is the word they love to use to describe themselves as a group.
They have, however, come up with nicknames for each other. According to linebacker Nico Johnson, inside linebacker Dont'a Hightower is "Zeus" and safety Mark Barron is "Waka Flocka." Then there's "Big Arm Courtney" Upshaw, and nose guard Josh Chapman is "Chappa Slappa."
Chapman also answers to "The Boss," according to Hightower.
That nickname is "something I live by and try to be," Chapman said. "The head man out there in the middle, he's Zeus, and Zeus is just the most powerful man on the field anyway, on and off the field."
Savage said he senses that there is strong chemistry on the team.
"You don't have Mark Barron trying to cover up for the young secondary," he said. "You don't have Dont'a trying to cover up for the youthful linebackers. You don't have Marcell Dareus trying to make every play because he's worried about trying to help the other guys out. Everybody's helping the other guys out. They're comfortable in their roles."
What does Zeus say?
"I feel like we're playing good and kind of set ourself and our identity for our defense being relentless and stuff," Hightower said. "I'm still waiting for someone to throw us out a nickname."

A marvelous find - both the acting and the theater. Truly felt as if I were "the proverbial fly on the wall" being privy to the most intimate details of the lives of two young couples as they shuttle their audience into the trials of marriage, the tantalizing details of infidelty, parenting and friendship. The performers were compelling and quite accomplished in their craft...I was totally drawn in by the compactness of the theater which, in part, lends itself well to engaging the audience in a sensation of being part of the performance yet safely masked from participation. A really thought provoking play presented by a troupe that draws you in and carries you along through a series of excursions of the heart and mind. Submitted by "Ancoro Imparo"

Census figures released yesterday show that Springfield's population rose slightly, but that Franklin and Berkshire counties actually saw a dip in population. That's not good news for those looking to preserve Western Mass.' two congressional districts, as state legislators begin the process of re-drawing maps to eliminate one of the state's 10 congressional districts based on the 2010 census numbers.
Because population just barely increased in two districts — Western Mass.' 1st Congressional, as well as the 10th on the South Coast — there's already a lot of talk about those seats being lost in the shuffle. They're currently held by Amherst Democrat John Olver and William Keating.
The Boston Herald's Howie Carr pointed to Olver as his pick to get the axe, saying he should be forced to run against Springfield Democrat Richard Neal:
The simplest solution would be to combine most of the four western counties into one district — 830,000 citizens — when all you need for a district is 727,000, and let Neal run against Olver
The Boston Globe reports, however, that population is not everything in the redistricting process:
For example, even though the Cape, currently represented by Keating, lost population, it is unlikely to lose a seat, because it is a geographically distinct area that is nearly impossible to carve up, said Stephen Ansolabehere, a Harvard professor of government.
Likewise, it is possible the two Western Massachusetts districts, represented by Olver and Richard E. Neal, could remain, even as the area loses population, because they are already drawn to include growing areas near Worcester, said Ansolabehere.
Neal, in a statement to The Republican yesterday, said he saw the numbers — which showed substantial growth in the Worcester area — looked promising for Western Mass.' chances to preserve its two seats.
"Today's census numbers, which show an increase in population in both Hampden and Hampshire Counties, reinforce my belief that the people who live west of Worcester deserve to have two members of Congress representing them in the U.S. House," Neal said. "As a result, I was very encouraged by the data released by the Census Bureau. For those of us fighting to keep to seats in western Massachusetts, it is clear that we continue to have, population, geography and history on our side."
The Special Joint Committee on Redistricting, the legislative body tasked with re-drawing congressional and legislative maps, will have its first public hearing in Springfield this Saturday, March 26, at the Van Sickle Middle School in Springfield, starting at 10 a.m., according to the committee's website.

Fourth of July is a time for fun and safety
This weekend is cause for celebration. Not only is it Independence Day but the weather will be absolutely perfect for outside gatherings.
For the first time in a long time, a sweater and blanket may actually not be necessary to enjoy fireworks lighting up the night sky.
Keep in mind, however, that fun and safety must go hand in hand for the weekend to not go awry.
First off, just because alcohol, tobacco and firearms are overseen by the same federal agency doesn't necessarily mean they should be mixed in real life.
If you plan on drinking, allow someone else the privilege of handling the matchstick, long-stemmed lighter or whatever you use to light the fireworks fuse. Liquor — even in light amounts — can impair dexterity and judgement.
No matter who is in charge of the fireworks show, plan to have a bucket of water and/or a water hose at the ready. Once a firework is lit, it takes on a life of its own, traveling this way and that in a rather willy-nilly fashion. No amount of yelling, screaming or pleading can prevent it from landing in your neighbor's chicken coop.
So be prepared.
The safest, least expensive alternative for a fireworks show is to leave it to the professionals.
For those who'd rather see the sparks on July 3, the Fireworks on the Fjord show should begin about 10:20 p.m., over Liberty Bay.
The more traditional folks can soak in a show in Kingston at Mike Wallace Park at dusk.
Whatever you choose — be it a professional or personal fireworks show — have a safe, sane Fourth of July.

Barbie Wadman is the co-ordinator of the NL Sexual Assault Crisis and Prevention Centre.
Published on November 11, 2012
Laura Ivany of St. John's was the victim of a mugging in February. She did not report it to the police, feeling she could not identify the attacker. - Photo by Barb Sweet/The Telegram
A radio station's poll question sparks flurry of debate about sexual assault
Several years after being the teenage victim of sexual assaults, Laura Ivany is speaking out publicly because she's tired of the blame and responsibility being shifted to victims.
"For years I kept everything very hush-hush, and finally that VOCM (poll question) just snapped me," said Ivany, who has a letter to the editor in today's paper about the radio station's recent controversial poll question which it posted, then withdrew and apologized for, after it caused a furor on social media.
The poll question asked: "Do you believe that women and young girls do enough to ensure that they don't become victims of the date rate drugs?"
The question was prompted by police reports of four separate sexual assaults in downtown St. John's that may have involved the drugging of women's drinks. In each of the cases the victims knew their attacker, police say.
The question, and some of the public advice that followed - such as telling women not to drink alcohol or to never be alone - rankled Ivany, who describes herself as not much of a drinker.
"I try a lot not to be out alone, but I take a night class at MUN, so you can't avoid it sometimes. I can't have a chaperone all the time," she said. "I don't think that's a solution to anything."
The 24-year-old St. John's resident, notes in the letter that she was a victim of a mugging this year and that incident was included in a recent Telegram story about crime.
The sexual assaults - by boys she knew - occurred several years ago. Like many sexual assault victims, Ivany never reported them.
At the time of the first incident, Ivany said she'd never been kissed. The boy was a longtime friend.
"I thought it was just a regular hangout. He had completely different intentions," she recalled.
"But I wasn't sure what the role was I had played in it, at that point. I understood so little about everything. I just remember going home that evening and locking myself in the bathroom thinking, 'Am I dying?'"
The second attack - by a different boy on a different occasion - was more violent than sexual, but she was molested.
Ivany said his family was upstairs at the time and when she made a fuss he finally stopped. She ran from the house.
"In my head I was trying to figure out, this happened twice now. What does this mean? Is this something I am doing? That's just a terrible way of thinking," she said.
After the first attack, it took a month for her to tell anyone - then she shared it with her mother's best friend, who helped her break the news to her mom.
By that time all the DNA evidence was gone and Ivany figured people might not believe her over the boy, an honour student.
Ivany said some people she eventually told would ask, "Are you sure you were clear?"
"If someone gets stabbed or shot at, you don't think, did you try hard enough to avoid the bullet coming at you?" Ivany said.
She changed high schools and when she found herself in the same faculty with the boy at Memorial University, she quit school for more than a year to work.
"When I was much older, I understood very clearly what had happened," Ivany said.
"I had no role to play and no part in what happened, so I was more angry than I was at the time. And seeing him would just send me into panic attacks."
She said he graduated on schedule, while she is still trying to complete her undergraduate degree, seven years after she started it.
Barbie Wadman, co-ordinator of the NL Sexual Assault Crisis and Prevention Centre, said research indicates that fewer than 10 per cent of victims actually report sexual violence.
Most victims know their attacker.
Gathering of the data by Statistics Canada includes generalized surveys sent to households and surveys that centres like hers complete each year, she said.
"We'll never know what the true data is," Wadman said.
The centre operates a confidential support line, and while some callers report current assaults, many people who call seek support in connection to incidents that happened in the past.
"We let people know there's no statute of limitations and it can be reported any time," she said.
Some people who choose not to report sexual assault view it as a privacy issue.
Some feel so ashamed by what happened that they don't want anyone to know about it, or are worried about how people will react.
Others fear for their safety.
Wadman said blaming the victim continues to be a concern, and even the slightest hint of a negative response can deter a victim from coming forward.
But Wadman says she was heartened by the backlash to the poll question, which she doesn't believe was written with ill intentions.
It did prompt some victim-blaming, however.
"People weren't afraid to talk about it," she said.
" Social networks were ablaze. Our followship went up on Twitter. We had more volunteer inquiries, and our calls increased as well."
The fact that people stood up to challenge the misconception that women must bear the responsibility for preventing sexual assault is a positive thing, she said.
"The only surefire way to protect against sexual assault is for no people to be out there committing sexual assault. We could go around with snowsuits, hopped up on caffeine, vigilant, waiting for someone to pop out of the bushes and it's not going to stop rape," Wadman said.
"The community needs to be responsible as well as critical."
As for the drugged drink/sexual assault investigation, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says it has people of interest in the cases.
An RNC spokesman told The Telegram this week investigators are waiting on toxicology results.

Hotel Lumen: Summer Opening in Paris
Any day now, Paris will welcome its latest luxury boutique: Hotel Lumen. Behind a Haussmanian façade (like Hotel Fouquet's Barrière), the hotel will combine contemporary and baroque styles. Created by architect Alain Daronian and designer Claudio Colucci, the hotel's central design concept is the importance of light (from which it derives its name). What could be more appropriate in the City of Light! Situated smack dab in the center of Paris, the Hotel Lumen will be a stone's throw from the Louvre, the Place Vendôme, and all the mythological treasures of the 1st arrondissement. Of the 33 guest rooms, choose from the St. Roch single rooms (with views of the stained glass windows of the beautiful St. Roch church), the Pyramides double or twin rooms, the Lumen rooms (with lots of light), and the beautiful, luminous suites on the 5th and 6th floors. The on-site Parisian brasserie will serve delightful neo-classical cuisine inspired by Frédérick Grasser-Hermé, the acclaimed cookbook writer.

Snapchat was created to make sexting easier for everyone, even though its creators insisted (despite wide evidence to the contrary) that the popular "disappearing text" app is merely a convenient new way to connect with your friends. Well, Snapchat helped fuel an astronomical rise in sexting among young people. And as bad as that has been, meet Snapchat's lecherous uncle…
It's a new app called Sobrr (www.sobrr.me). According to the PR surrounding its release, Sobrr is "a new location-based mobile app where everyone you friend and everything you post expires in 24 hours." The idea is built around an insidious promise: "If you only had 24 hours to live your life to the fullest—with no baggage from the past and no future to worry about—what would you choose to do?" Well, just as Snapchat downplayed its real purpose, buried in this hopeful description is a wink-wink descent into gutter territory. Here's a more detailed explanation from the PR company hired to get the word out about Sobrr—you don't need your Sherlock credentials to get the idea:
"STEP 1: GO SOMEWHERE—Set aside your baggage and go somewhere awesome — in your hometown or halfway around the world.
STEP 2: JOIN FORCES—Wherever you are, instantly discover others around you who also want to seize the moment.
STEP 3: BE EPIC—Do the things you've always dreamed of doing and document it on Sobrr with updates, photos, and chat messages. Others can swipe once to cheer you on.
STEP 4: MOVE ON—Everything you've shared and all the friends you've made automatically expire in 24 hours — one fine day to make it all happen (at least until you decide to try again).
• A spontaneous road trip with new friends to a destination you don't know.
• Skinny dipping under the summer stars with cheap wine and big smiles.
• An epic Vegas bachelor party that you can't quite remember — nor forget.
That's Sobrr."
Sobrr's creator is Bruce Yang, described as "a former Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Fitbit engineer who decided one day to build the app of his dreams." Well, the "app of his dreams" is also the next parent's nightmare…

DETROIT — Inquiring minds may want to know, but Boston's starting pitcher John Lackey ain't saying.
When you're about to face arguably the game's best hitter for the first time in your postseason career, mum's the word.
"I'd be kind of dumb to tell you how I'm going to do that right now, I think," Lackey said when asked how he plans to pitch to Miguel Cabrera. "He's like David (Ortiz). There's not one way I can go about it. I'm going to have to make a lot of good pitches in a lot of different spots. He's really good."
Lackey's regular-season starts against the Tigers suggest mixed results. In 11 career starts against Detroit, he's 6-3 with a 3.86 ERA. He's allowed 77 hits and 31 walks while striking out 64.
Cabrera is 4-for-12 against Lackey (.333) with one home run and two RBIs. The most successful Tigers batter versus Lackey is Victor Martinez, who's 11-for-29 (.379) with four walks.
"It's a deep lineup," Lackey said. "One through nine, you've got to make pitches. They wouldn't be playing at this point in the season if they're not pretty good. All of them have some power and it's going to be a tough challenge for sure."
But while Lackey has no postseason experience in Comerica Park, he has been around the block. Now 34 years old, Lackey represents an old-school mentality within the Boston clubhouse.
"Johnny's a stud," said fellow Red Sox pitcher (and Game 4 starter) Jake Peavy. "It's been funny for me to watch all the coverage of the game coming in. I haven't heard John Lackey's name mentioned three or four times. It's almost like we didn't even have a starter for the day.
"Everybody in the clubhouse loves John, loves his demeanor, his makeup. He's got that old school Texan makeup that we all love, Nolan Ryan kind of attitude. John's a gamer."

TORONTO – It had been six days since the Grand Rapids Griffins wrapped up their first-round series by exploding for seven goals against Houston.
The layoff didn't have an effect on the Griffins' scoring prowess.
Tomas Tatar registered two goals and an assist and Grand Rapids blasted the Toronto Marlies 7-0 in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals at Ricoh Coliseum. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday before the series shifts to Grand Rapids for the next three games.
It's the first time Grand Rapids has blanked an opponent in Game 1 of a playoff series, and Petr Mrazek, who stopped 25 shots, became the first Griffins' goalie to post multiple shutouts in the playoffs.
The Game 1 blowout was a surprise considering Toronto had the best home ice record during the regular season, and former Griffins goalie Drew MacIntyre had been 9-2 in his last 11 games against Grand Rapids.
"Obviously, we didn't expect 7-0 again, but we played very smart tonight and we didn't try to get into fights," said Tatar, who scored two goals for the second consecutive game. "Everyone was playing well, and they made a lot of mistakes and we had a lot of chances to score."
The Marlies had a 13-10 edge in shots in the first period, but the Griffins dominated the rest of the way, outshooting Toronto 38-25.
"They came out and had a better first 10 minutes, and they were outshooting us like 7-0 and we had some penalties, but I thought Petr Mrazek and our penalty kill were two huge factors in giving us time to then score some goals," Griffins coach Jeff Blashill said. "I thought the game early was even, but then we found ways to continue to score goals and broke it open."
Grand Rapids scored twice in a span of 34 seconds midway through the first period with goals from Mitch Callahan and Chad Billins.
Teemu Pulkkinen scored a power play goal in the second period, and Tatar increased Grand Rapids' lead to 4-0 with 17 seconds remaining in the period when he stuffed a rebound in off his own shot.
Tatar scored his second goal on the power play early in the third, and Luke Glendening and Jan Mursak added goals late.
"Sometimes the game gets dictated by the momentum of the score, and I thought once we started to score it gave us some energy and took the life out of them," Blashill said. "We're going to have to be real focused (Saturday) because it's going to be a much closer game."
Francis Pare had three assists and Jeff Hoggan added two assists for Grand Rapids, which was 2-of-7 on the power play.
The Griffins have outscored their last two playoff opponents 14-0, and their 14 unanswered goals sets a new franchise record.
Grand Rapids won a road playoff game by more than three goals for only the second time in franchise history.
The Griffins defeated Cincinnati 10-1 in 2000 while in the IHL.

Electrical Properties of Selenium. III. Microcrystalline Selenium Metal Doped25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721489View Description Hide Description
The thermoelectric powers and dc and 200‐mc resistivities of pure and metal‐doped selenium have been studied as functions of temperature. The properties of materials in the two important microstructures (colony and equiaxed) were distinguished. The influences of the metals Na, Cu, Ag, Mg, Zn, Cd, Hg, Ga, In, Tl, Pb, Sb, Bi, Te, Fe, Ni, Co, and Ce were noted.
A working model of the selenium semiconductor was developed. In this model there is an acceptor level <0.15 ev from the full band caused by nonmetals and possibly lattice defects. In strained crystals or material in the colony structure a second acceptor level 0.27 ev from the full band is postulated from the behavior of dc and ac resistivity curves as a function of temperature. The density of the first level varies in the range 1014/cm3 to 6×1016/cm3 with amount of nonmetal impurity. The density of the second level depends on the crystal structure, decreasing as the colony structure recrystallizes to the equiaxed. In the specimens crystallized at 110°C the density was about 2×1016/cm3. Both metals and non‐metals are largely segregated at grain boundaries. Metals produce effective donor levels at these places.
The dcproperties reflect the presence of internal barriers produced by the segregation. The donor levels enhance barriers existing in the purest selenium tested increasing resistivities and thermoelectric powers.
With increase in temperature >160°C the density of acceptor levels decreases as defects are removed by structural changes in the lattice.
Thickness‐Shear and Flexural Vibrations of Contoured Crystal Plates25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721494View Description Hide Description
An approximate method is devised for calculating frequencies of thickness‐shear and flexural vibrations of crystal plates of varying thickness. Applications are made to plates having the shape of a double wedge and to plates with beveled edges.
Thickness‐Shear Vibrations of Piezoelectric Crystal Plates with Incomplete Electrodes25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721514View Description Hide Description
In this paper the influence of length of electrodes on thickness‐shear frequencies of piezoelectric crystal plates is investigated.
Suppression of Overtones of Thickness‐Shear and Flexural Vibrations of Crystal Plates25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721515View Description Hide Description
It is shown how electrodes, coated on the surfaces of thickness‐shear plates, may be shaped so that, when the driving frequency coincides with a particular resonant frequency, only that resonant mode is excited.
Ion Trajectories in the Omegatron25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721516View Description Hide Description
The equations of motion for ions in an idealized two‐dimensional Omegatron are solved for the general case of arbitrary initial velocity and arbitrary starting time. A simple picture of the paths is obtained by use of a rotating coordinate system.
Space Charge Waves in Inhomogeneous Electron Beams25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721517View Description Hide Description
A magnetically confined sheet electron beam filling the space between two plane parallel electrodes is discussed. It is assumed that the average electron space charge is not neutralized by positive ions so that the potential at the center is depressed, and the beam is inhomogeneous in velocity and charge density. The objective of this theoretical treatment is to determine whether or not exponentially growing space charge waves can be supported by such a beam.
For small inhomogeneity and continuous behavior of all quantities as functions of the inhomogeneity, it is shown that growing waves are not possible. This conclusion is supported by discussion of the analogous adjacent beam problem and the analogous velocity distributed filamentary beam. Although the adjacent beams can support growing waves, it is argued that the analogy is not valid because the adjacent beams cannot be obtained by a continuous perturbation of a single homogeneous beam. The analogy of the velocity distributed beam does not suffer from this deficiency. In this case it is shown that growing space charge waves cannot exist unless the distribution function has more than one relative maximum.
On a Property of a Family of Equiangular Spirals and its Application to Some Problems of Wave Propagation25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721518View Description Hide Description
It is shown that all the normals drawn from any point in the plane to the members of a family of equiangular spirals may be simply located geometrically. The locus of all the end points of the normals is a circle. It is also shown that the standing wave pattern in a uniformly attenuating medium may in simple cases (as with an attenuating transmission line) be represented by a vector diagram using a symmetrical pair of spirals. Then the foregoing theorem makes it possible to determine the voltage and current maxima and minima by constructing the locus circle referred to. This is illustrated by several examples. Finally it is pointed out that the locus circle may also be projected into the ``Smith Chart.''
Effect of Gas Slip on Unsteady Flow of Gas Through Porous Media25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721519View Description Hide Description
A numerical method is presented for describing either the one‐dimensional or radial transient flow of gases through a porous medium in which the initial and terminal pressures and/or rates are specified. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect on transient gas flow of a pressure‐sensitive gas permeability resulting from gas‐slip effects. The gas‐slip permeability or apparent permeability is assumed to vary as a linear function with the reciprocal pressure. The computations were carried out by means of punch card machines.
The results demonstrate that under certain conditions, the transient flow system is greatly influenced by gas‐slip permeability. However, the results also indicate that the effect of gas slip on transient flow behavior is negligible for pressure conditions usually associated with gas or petroleum reservoirs, and would be of most importance in the conduct and analysis of gas flowexperiments in the laboratory. A specific laboratory application of the calculations is a possible transient method for the determination of porosity and/or gas‐slip corrected permeability.
Cylindrical Shock Waves Produced by Instantaneous Energy Release25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721520View Description Hide Description
Taylor's analysis of the intense spherical explosion has been extended to the cylindrical case. It is found that the radius R of a strong cylindrical shock wave produced by a sudden release of energy E per unit length grows with time t according to the equation , where ρ0 is the atmospheric density and S(γ) is a calculated function of the specific heat ratio γ. For γ=1.4, S(γ) is found to be approximately unity. For this case, the pressure p 1 behind the shock wave decays with radius R according to the relation p 1=0.216E/R 2. Applying the results of this analysis to the case of hypersonic flight, it can be shown that the shock envelope behind a meteor or a high‐speed missile is approximately a paraboloid given by where D and V denote the total drag and the velocity of the missile, respectively, and x is the distance behind the missile.
Thermal Diffusivity of Metals at High Temperatures25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721521View Description Hide Description
A modified Ångström method for measuringthermal diffusivity and hence thermal conductivity of metals has been developed. Like previously reported dynamic methods, this method uses a heat source, whose temperature varies sinusoidally with time, located at one end of an effectively infinite rod. Unlike these methods, only one period of the heat pulse is required to eliminate the unknown coefficient determining the heat lost by radiation since both velocity and amplitude decrement of the heat pulse are measured. In addition to providing greater reliability at high temperatures by using only one period, the new method is faster in taking data and simpler in computation. The thermoelectric potentials from two thermojunctions are amplified and plotted on a Brown electronic recorder in order to obtain a permanent record of all necessary data for computing the thermal diffusivity. Results for copper,nickel, and thorium over the temperature range 0–500°C are given.
Brightness Waves and Transitory Phenomena in the Quenching of Luminescence by Alternating Electric Fields25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721522View Description Hide Description
Zinc or cadmium sulfide phosphors, especially phosphors having short persistence, are less sensitive to ultra‐violet light or to x‐rays when they are submitted to the action of an alternating electric field. With a half‐wave x‐ray generator and an alternating field of frequency equal to the frequency of the potential applied to the x‐ray generator (50 cps), and in phase with it, the brightness waves (a curve giving the variation in the instantaneous brightness as a function of time in the interval of a period) are greatly modified. A sharp secondary maximum appears when the field passes through zero in each cycle; the amplitude of this maximum varies quickly during the cycles which immediately follow the application of the field.
If the light is filtered, the shape of the brightness wave varies according to the spectral region which is observed.
Direct Determination of the Flow Curves of Non‐Newtonian Fluids. III. Standardized Treatment of Viscometric Data25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721523View Description Hide Description
A scheme is proposed for systematizing the handling of viscometric data through use of the variables apparent fluidity φ a and shearing stress F. The rate of shear g(F) is obtained from the relation: g(F)/F =φ a [1+Δ(F)]. Methods are presented for obtaining the correction term Δ(F) from capillary and concentric‐cylinder viscometric data. Use of the proposed scheme is illustrated.
On the Detection of Sure Signals in Noise25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721524View Description Hide Description
The purpose of this paper is to attempt to present known results on detection in simplified form and to relate these to new results found by the author. For a signal of known form and nonrandom in nature (sure signal) upon which a background noise is linearly superimposed, several criteria for an optimum pre‐detection filter are compared. The background noise may be of very general nature and restricted merely to possessing a continuous covariance function and need not, in general, possess even a frequency spectrum. Specifically, it is shown that, when the input noise to a pre‐detection filter is Gaussian (with no restrictions concerning its possible spectrum), the filter which maximizes—for a fixed ``false alarm'' probability—the probability of detecting the signal when it is present is identical with the linear filter which maximizes the output signal‐to‐noise ratio. For a Gaussian noise input an explicit expression is obtained for the probability of detection. The stability of the optimum filter is discussed in some detail and some restrictions on the form of the input signal necessary for stability are given. The techniques used throughout limit one, in general, to the practical case of finite memory filters. Finally it is shown how an optimum signal shape of given energy content and duration can be chosen.
The Effect of Inelastic Collisions on the Slowing‐Down Length of Neutrons in a Hydrogenous Mixture25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721525View Description Hide Description
An expression for the slowing‐down length of neutrons in a hydrogenous mixture in which inelastic collisions occur is derived from the rigorous transport equation under the assumptions that (1) the masses of the nonhydrogen nuclei are infinite and (2) the inelastic scattering is of the type in which only discrete well‐defined energy levels of the target nucleus are involved. The result is applied to an iron‐water mixture.
Preparation of Aerosols for Electron Microscopy25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721526View Description Hide Description
A technique is described whereby fall‐out particles from dust clouds, commonly called aerosols, may be prepared for observation with the electron microscope. Specimens are collected by means of various types of precipitators on molecular filters which are made from cellulose esters. During the process of dissolving this material in acetone, the particles adhering to the filter are transferred to the Formvar‐coated specimen screens of the electron microscope. Losses are negligible, residual filter background is eliminated, and particles are clearly visible for measuring.
Velocity Attenuation of Explosive‐Produced Air Shocks25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721527View Description Hide Description
A method for measuring the velocities of explosive‐produced air shocks using an electrical ionization probing system is described. The results of such measurements indicate that under varying conditions of confinement of explosive and air shock, that the reciprocal of the air‐shock velocity varies linearly with the distance to the charge surface.
A Method of Measuring Magnetostriction25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721528View Description Hide Description
Torsion tests are made on wires of various ferromagnetic materials. It is found that the relationship between shear stress and shear strain is different for magnetized and unmagnetized wires. The difference is explained in terms of wall movement and rotation of ferromagnetic domains, and magnetostriction values are derived from it. This method of determining magnetostriction has several advantages. It is simpler to carry out than most other methods, its accuracy is 4×10−7, and it can be used at elevated temperatures. Its main limitation is that saturation magnetostriction values are not obtainable for alloys which have a large crystal anisotropy energy.
On the Stability of Fluid Flows with Spherical Symmetry25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721529View Description Hide Description
The conditions for the stability or instability of the interface between two immiscible incompressible fluids in radial motion are deduced. The stability conditions derived by Taylor for the interface of two fluids in plane motion do not apply to spherical flows without significant modifications.
Some Problems in the Diffusion of Minority Carriers in a Semiconductor25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721530View Description Hide Description
The exact solutions to the problems of the diffusion of minority carriers involved in the measurement of surface‐recombination velocity in a semiconductor with a sample geometry bounded by two infinite planes are presented. The reduction of the exact solutions to simple forms used in the analysis of experimental data is shown.
Some Magnetostriction Relations in Materials Possessing Preferred Domain Orientations25(1954); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1721490View Description Hide Description
Simple relations between certain magnetostrictive strains are derived for polycrystallineferromagnetic materials possessing a preferred axis in the distribution of domain orientations. Good agreement with experimental results is obtained.

Syracuse police said tips from several citizens helped lead them today to a suspect in a bank robbery two days ago.
John Mulligan, 53, of 202 Hier Ave., Syracuse, was charged with third-degree robbery, a felony, in the holdup at Alliance Bank, 1001 James St., Monday morning, said Sgt. Tom Connellan.
Several people helped police identify the suspect after images from a bank surveillance camera were shown in the media, police said.
Mulligan handed a teller a note demanding money and threatening to shoot her if she did not comply, police said. After getting the money, he left without showing any weapon.
Connellan said Mulligan admitted he spent the money he received in the robbery.

GRAND RAPIDS — A more than year-long dispute between an Ottawa County farmer and the Kent County Road Commission continues, despite the announcement Thursday that a compromise had been reached.
Wright Township farmer John Triick and his wife, Chris, on Thursday told the Kent County Commission that Ottawa County and the state Department of Natural Resources had identified an alternative route for a non-motorized pathway connecting the Fred Meijer White Pine and Musketawa trails, but Ottawa County officials say not so fast.
An original route for the connector trail would have bisected the Triick's 40-acre beef cattle feeding operation, disrupting cattle and they say endangering their business.
Ottawa County Planning Director Mark Knudsen, without disclosing details, said Ottawa County and the DNR have reached an agreement on a land swap under which the Triicks would buy land to trade with the state, allowing the alternative route.
But Ottawa officials don't see why Kent County seems to be fast-tracking the project and not giving them time to accomplish the necessary deals to make the alternate route work.
Jon Rice, managing director of the Kent County Road Commission, said his agency fears with Congress in a cost-cutting mood, the $2.1 million in federal highway money for constructing the project could disappear unless the job is bid by this summer.
For the Triicks, the matter has been a bureaucratic nightmare.
"I always thought our problem was with the DNR, but apparently it's with the Kent County Road Commission," Chris Triick said.
At the urging of Kent County Commissioner Stan Ponstein, R-Grandville, the Triicks met with a group of Kent County officials after Thursday's county board meeting and came out feeling optimistic a solution was near at hand — at least until Ottawa County officials again chimed in.
"The Kent County Road Commission and Parks Department have been stone walling us in preventing us from reaching a solution," Knudsen said later Thursday. "They are hell-bent on moving this forward without making an honest effort to resolve the situation."
Rice said his agency has been painted as the bad guy, despite merely doing what state and Kent County officials have asked. He said the road commission is merely a design consultant for the project, engineering a pathway on a route identified by the DNR and Kent County Parks Department.
Rice said his instructions from the DNR are to put the first phase of the project out for bid with the understanding that if Ottawa County pulls together deals allowing the alternate route, that will be incorporated into the project. He said Ottawa County needs to get things straight with the DNR.
"They need to resolve their issues with the DNR and the DNR has to tell us that," Rice said. "Ottawa County has to understand that. We don't have any contract with Ottawa County."
So, why don't the two counties pick up the phone and talk to each other and resolve the matter?
"That would be like undercutting my client," Rice said.
That leaves the Triicks preparing for the best while realizing things could go the other way. They're readying to buy the land they'll need to swap with the state in case the deal for the alternate route is ultimately approved.

Mr. Arnoldo Ventura
Dr. Arnoldo Khaleel Ventura has been the Senior Adviser to the Prime Minister of Jamaica on science and technology since 1989. Prior to this, he studied human viruses, especially those circulated by arthropods or arboviruses, and those modified as vaccines for children. He researched the natural history and pathogenesis of viruses in the Caribbean, including dengue and those causing encephalitis infections in man and animals. These investigations required the determination of the role of birds and their ectoparasites in viral transmission.
Through these studies, he discovered two new genera and six new species of bird mites. He also discovered a new group of viruses that was circulating in birds without showing overt symptoms in them. He was also the first to uncover the viruses that caused dengue fevers in Jamaica using a novel tissue culture technique, which led to easier diagnosis, treatment and prediction of the outcome of the disease in the Caribbean. Dr. Ventura has also been credited with the development of tissue culture methods for the identification and recovery of viruses.
Working in depressed communities in different countries, sparked Dr. Ventura's desire to find workable solutions to social equities and economic imbalances. He surmised that the power of science could be a useful tool in this quest. He became an avid student of the use of conventional and advanced technologies (such as those dealing with alternate energy, food and feed, communication, and limestone mining) for this purpose.
In Jamaica he promoted programmes in agro-biotechnology long before this technology became popular for poverty eradication. He also was among the first to advocate policies and implementation plans for the development of Jamaica's scientific and technological infrastructure and its management. He encouraged both the media and private citizens to develop a greater awareness of science and technology and packaged information for varied audiences using the medium of television and newspapers. He also published booklets on scientific methods for wide dissemination.
Dr. Ventura is well known internationally for his work in the promotion of science and technology for economic development, and recently held the post of Chairman of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (UNCSTD) in Geneva. He is the current President of the Inter-American Committee on Science and Technology (COMCYT) in Washington.
Arnoldo Ventura was born on 16th November 1937 in Kingston, Jamaica. He attended the Windward Road Government Primary School and Kingston College. He grew up in a loving family and considered himself privileged to have had good parents and attentive relatives. During his childhood he admired and enjoyed the trees, birds, bees and butterflies, which often frequented the shrubbery in his yard. His inquisitiveness led him to love and understand the wonders of nature. His parents encouraged his inquiry and his fascination to learn and inquire. He enjoyed reading, being outdoors, walking, fishing, swimming, and playing football and cricket. He also wrote poetry and prose for relaxation.
His favourite subjects in school were the sciences and despite regular bouts of respiratory illness and dyslexia, he performed well academically and secured a Jamaican Government Exhibition Scholarship in 1957. He pursued his Bachelor of Science degree at the University College of the West Indies (UCWI) at Mona. His zoology teacher inspired him and led him to find the answers to the questions that he pondered on while growing up. He became fascinated with understanding the linkages between man and nature. He continued his postgraduate education at UCWI obtaining a Master of Science degree.
His virological work gained him exposure to the then emerging field of arbovirology, and through a US Public Health Fellowship, he was able to pursue his doctoral degree at Cornell University in 1963.
While studying for his postgraduate degree, he developed an interest in how viruses wielded their influence in human beings, especially the unborn child, birds and insects. His studies in virology, which begun at this level, were not his primary focus initially, but they offered the opportunity to understand their interaction in nature, which was always an area of keen interest. Later he joined teams working on organ transplantation where viruses can be fatal.
For the period, 1969-1977, Dr. Ventura worked as a researcher and professor of virology at both at the University of the West Indies and the University of Miami. From 1981 to 1989 he lectured at Cornell University in New York, Florida International University, Nova South-eastern University in Florida, and El Colegio de Mexico in Mexico City. During this period he was active in studies and professional activities in Africa and Asia. When he returned home in 1977 he became the Executive Chairman of the Scientific Research Council of Jamaica. He wanted to merge his basic scientific training with development issues and his new position gave him the opportunity to develop science and technology policies for the island to aid in the eradication of poverty.
During the period 1997 to 1981 he also held various national and international posts, which included memberships on boards of technological statutory bodies in Jamaica and Advisor to multilateral bodies and governments. He also performed consultancies, evaluations and surveys on techno-economic and industrial development worldwide and played a prominent role in the second major global conference on Science and Technology for Development, held in Vienna in 1979.
Dr. Ventura has gained many accolades, including the Silver Musgrave Medal (2002), Order of Distinction (Commander) for the development of science and technology in Jamaica (2001), the Visionary Achievement Citation from the Wyndham Hotel Chain (1993) and Centenary Medal of the Institute of Jamaica (1980).
Dr Ventura advises young people, "that if you read a lot and study the Sciences, you will have rewarding careers," adding that one should not be, "deterred by the permissive values what you presently see around you, and get into professions only for the money." He states that "scientists don't make a lot of money, but the excitement, pleasure and satisfaction are so rewarding that it is a feeling than you cannot experience in any other profession." He lives by the philosophy that: "Science allows us to better understand that life is a privileged and short interaction with each other, and a learning, respectful and joyful relationship with the environment. Once we understand this, we can make the world a better place."

Growing local businesses are on a hiring spree that local leaders believe will draw hundreds of people to Fort Dodge in the next few years.
They'll be coming to a community where the supply of homes has been described as inadequate and outdated because of years of low demand for new housing starts.
City officials are moving to address that housing shortage with a program that will provide property tax breaks for building new single-family homes and apartment buildings.

A series of new homes takes shape on Regency West Court in Fort Dodge in a housing project also known as Windstone Circle. The City Council is now working on a package of property tax incentives that local leaders hope will spur even more housing construction in the city.
It also gives tax incentives for significant remodeling and rehabilitation jobs.
''The most important goal of it is to encourage additional housing so we can meet the demands of the workforce coming in,'' said Vickie Reeck, the city's community development manager.
Mayor Matt Bemrich said he has talked to people who have recently moved to Fort Dodge and are having a tough time finding the kind of homes they want.
Fact Box
Available incentives
Here are the property tax incentives available through the 2013 Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area in Fort Dodge.
New houses
Citywide - Eligible for five-year, 100 percent abatement on the first $75,000 of value.
Within a blighted area - Eligible for seven-year, 100 percent abatement.
Improvements to existing houses
Citywide - Eligible for five-year, 100 percent abatement on the first $75,000 of increased value.
Within a blighted area - Eligible for a three-year, 100 percent abatement or phasing in property tax burden over 10 years on a sliding scale.
New apartments
Citywide - Eligible for a three-year, 100 percent tax abatement or phasing in property tax burden over 10 years on a sliding scale.
Within a blighted area - Eligible for seven-year, 100 percent abatement.
Improvements to existing apartments
Citywide - Eligible for three-year, 100 percent abatement or phasing in property tax burden over 10 years on a sliding scale.
Designated areas - Three-year, 100 percent abatement or phasing in property tax burden over 10 years on a sliding scale.
Designated areas - Three-year, 100 percent abatement or phasing in property tax burden over 10 years on a sliding scale.
Residential, commercial and industrial projects on property defined as abandoned are eligible for a five-year, 100 percent tax abatement or phasing in the property tax burden over 15 years on a sliding scale.
''I think there is a demand and the market isn't responding quickly enough to meet that demand,'' he said.
''This will create an opportunity for developers and builders to provide some of that housing that's needed to meet the demand,'' Bemrich added.
Although housing is the emphasis of the program, incentives will also available for industrial and commercial development.
The program does not require anyone to move or do anything to their homes, according to Reeck. She said some residents have called her because they're concerned that the program will force them to move. That's not true, she said.
The City Council gave preliminary approval to the incentives package on April 8. It must be approved two more times to become law.
Dennis Plautz, the chief executive officer of the Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance, said the group is ''completely supportive'' of the program.
Need for the incentives
The Growth Alliance has estimated that 365 new jobs will be created in Webster County by 2014. Many of those jobs are being created by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc., Cargill and CJ Bio America.
Plautz said there is an ''exponential increase in hiring going on.''
Newly hired workers coming to Fort Dodge will find a community in which 59.8 percent of the homes were built before 1960, according to Reeck.
''That's a pretty old housing stock,'' she said.
The biggest need, according to Plautz, is for multi-family residential housing.
''The real value of their urban revitalization program is that it matches very well with our highest need, which is multi-family,'' he said.
The incentives
The proposal before the council would establish the 2013 Consolidated Urban Revitalization Area encompassing the entire city.
After the plan is approved, property tax breaks will be available for the construction of new homes and apartments anywhere in the city.
Incentives will also be available for significant improvements to existing houses and apartments anywhere in the city. Those improvements would have to increase the value of the property by at least 15 percent, according to Reeck.
Larger incentives would be available for new construction or remodeling jobs in blighted areas and at sites considered to be abandoned properties. For this program, the northwest side of the city and a large portion of the area south of Fifth Avenue South are considered blighted. Downtown Fort Dodge and the Pleasant Valley neighborhood are also designated as blighted.
Under state law, an abandoned property is a structure that is vacant and has not been in compliance with the city building code for six consecutive months.
The incentives enable a property owner to forgo paying the property tax on a portion of the home's value for up to five years or gradually phase in the new property tax burden over a decade.
The incentives will no longer be offered after December 2014, although incentives awarded before then will remain in place. Plautz said it's hoped that the housing market will equalize itself by that time, making the incentives unnecessary.
New homes built in the city's existing enterprise zone can qualify for state tax breaks in addition to the local incentives now under consideration. The enterprise zone includes downtown plus southern and western Fort Dodge.
Those state incentives include a refund of sales, service and use taxes paid during construction and investment tax credits.

The Syracuse Power Rankings have returned for another week.
We have a pocket full of dollar bills and are ready to go to sampling heaven. I'll see you next week, diet.
Once again here is a look at who won the week, who almost won the the week and who needs better luck next time in Syracuse and Central New York.
Make sure to vote in the poll and drop below in the comments section to give us your take or shout out someone/something that should be on the list this week that isn't
4. Syracuse Basketball Recruiting Class of 2015
With the addition of Moustapha Diagne, a 6-foot-9 junior forward at Pope John XXIII High School in Sparta, N.J., Jim Boeheim could have the top-ranked class in the country next year.
Tell me why this guy needs to retire again?
3. The Greatest Generation
June 6, 2014 marks the 70th anniversary of thousands of Allied troops arriving on the beaches of Normandy with history in their hands.
Two of those brave men from Central New York who stormed that beach and lived to tell the tale, Bill Shattuck, 90, of Camillus and Warren Rahrle, 89, of East Syracuse, got together with syracuse.com columnist Sean Kirst recently to reflect on that day.
Reading Sean's story is a good reminder to us all of why Shattuck and Rahrle's generation truly was the greatest.
"Little puddles," he said, seeing it exactly, the nearby splash-splash-splash of rows of German bullets as Rahrle left a landing craft and pushed through water up to his chin, men getting hit and dying all around him, until he reached a place on land where he could drop to all fours. There was no thought of being a hero. The only hope was digging a foxhole. Rahrle did his best.
He was 19, about a year past high school in Syracuse, digging for life itself in the sand."
2. Taste of Syracuse
This weekend is a firm reminder to those that like to complain there is nothing to do in Central New York live on the same island with those that think Jim Boeheim should play more man-to-man defense.
Just give it up, people. There is TOO MUCH to do in Central New York this weekend.
Take your pick.
Oz-Stravaganza! St.Sophia's Greek Cultural Festival. Boxing Hall of Fame ceremonies. The Funky Flea . Parade of Homes.
But the crown jewel is the arrival of an event that gets bigger, better and tastier every year; the Taste of Syracuse.
So grab a menu and enjoy the food and the 40 different bands on three stages for continuous live music, including a free show from Blues Traveler.
We won't need the "Hook" to bring us back for this.
1. C.W. Baker High School
I don't know what is in the water in Baldwinsville these days, but it is cranking out some serious talent.
Sophomore Julia Goodwin wowed the judges on NBC's "America's Got Talent" with a rendition of Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" and has moved on to the second round of the talent show.
"If I have to define passion, it's the sound of your voice," judge Howie Mandel told a national television audience.
No matter what happens from here on "AGT" don't miss Julia at Jazz Fest this summer.
Meanwhile, Baldwinsville pitcher Scott Blewett had his dream come true on Thursday night as his name was called as the 56th pick in the Major League Baseball draft by the Kansas City Royals.
"It was definitely the best experience of my life," Blewett said Thursday night. "The anticipation and everything leading up to that moment, it was amazing. I had a few friends over. The night was pretty cool, having my (baseball) banquet, ending my senior season for the baseball team at Baldwinsville and watching the draft and seeing my name called is a pretty unique feeling. It's definitely one of the best highlights of my life so far."

Its fascinating look at traditional rural life makes this one of the best ethnology museums in the country. The collection, which is housed in a series of wooden pavilions, belongs to former sergeant major Dr Thawee, who has pursued a lifelong personal campaign to preserve and document a way of life that's gradually disappearing. Highlights include the reconstructed kitchen, veranda and birthing room of a typical village house, known as a "tied house" because its split-bamboo walls are literally tied together with rattan cane; and an exceptionally comprehensive gallery of traps: dozens of specialized contraptions designed to ensnare everything from cockroaches to birds perched on water buffaloes' backs. There's also a display on weaving and natural dyes, a collection of traditional toys and some fearsome-looking wooden implements for giving yourself a massage.

Slow, hot, and loud fan noise problem
I'm on my other laptop and there seems to be some problems. I started it up and it took pretty long time like an old computer. It even takes long time to open programs. It also is hot for a while and then even hotter. When the computer get hot, the fan noises becomes louder. Once the noises becomes loud, it becomes slower. I don't know why, but I need help. It's very annoying. I don't know if it has to do with viruses or malwares. It might has something to do with the computer fans.

For years now, Staten Island Republicans have been the undisputed masters at counting the vote on election nights, whether it be a special, primary or general election.
But the Democrats appear to be quickly closing the gap.
Both camps had robust vote-counting operations up and running on Super Tuesday. The GOP was at its usual spot, RTR Financial in Midland Beach, while the Dems were camped out at party headquarters in Port Richmond.
Volunteers either phoned in the results from the polling sites, or came by personally to drop off their tally sheets.
Both parties had their tallies in fairly short order and at roughly the same pace (even if they both stopped counting before 100 percent of the vote was in).
The Dems began to focus more closely on vote-counting in 2006, according to party executive director Chris Bauer, when the chores were divided up among each campaign running on the ballot.
Until recent years, Bauer said, there was no coordinated effort among Democrats. Whoever was running generally had their own crew counting their own vote, with not much emphasis placed on the bigger picture. So while candidates knew where their individual vote was coming from, there was no idea of overall Democratic strength and weakness, and there was little electoral intelligence in circulation for future campaigns to build on.
"Each of the candidates did their own thing," Bauer said. "They were not working as 'team Democrat.' We're trying to get closer to that model."
In addition to detailing the strongest Democratic election districts, the more centralized effort also lets the party know, COMSTAT-style, who its strongest vote-gatherers are at each polling site.
"That's part of it," said Bauer. "A little bit."

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- Three companies have stepped up to buy a locally owned waste management company that operates in almost a dozen Genesee County Communities and has filed for bankruptcy.
Attorneys for the companies seeking to buy part, or all of, Richfield Management LLC were at a bankruptcy hearing held Tuesday, Oct. 23, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in Flint.
Richfield, which has offices in Flint, filed Sept. 18 for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company's assets will be auctioned off Nov. 4. No location has been determined.
Calls placed to Richfield and its attorneys were not returned.
Rizzo Environmental Services of Sterling Heights has expressed interest in buying eight municipal contracts for communities in Oakland County and the city of Warren.
Halton Recycling has expressed interest in purchasing the remaining assets of the company, its property and 12 to 15 contracts in the Genesee County area. Halton is based in Ontario, Canada.
The third company is Green Energy Renewable Systems (GERS), which is based in Royal Oak in Oakland County and wants to buy the entire operation.
Richfield has been in existence for 22 years and has annual sales of about $25 million, according to the company's website.
About 200 of its employees are members of the Teamsters union.
Teamsters Local 332 in Flint represents 115 to 120 of those employees and Secretary-Treasurer Tim Kennelly said Halton and GERS have made statements they would be interested in meeting with the union to discuss employment matters.
Kennelly said he hasn't had a chance to discuss matters of unemployment with Rizzo company officials.
The hearing was far more upbeat than what was expected, said Kennelly, who added they are hopeful an agreement can be made to benefit the union members.
"We are certainly open to some new blood and investment in the company," he said.
According to documents filed in federal court, Richfield has 1,000 to 5,000 creditors and $10 million to $50,000 million in liabilities.
The company has been forthcoming about the bankruptcy and stated there would be no interruptions in service or increase in costs to residents, said Grand Blanc Township Clerk Cathy Lane.
The company has a history of strong performance with the township, Lane said.
"As far as cost, we probably have the best services with the most inclusive service and at the most reasonable price of anyone in Genesee County," she said. "They have been more than fair and very competitive in price."
Mt. Morris had a contract with Richfield for several years before city officials opted to go with a lower bidder when the contract came up for renewal earlier in the year, said Charles Forrest, interim city manager.
The city and Richfield had a longstanding relationship, but it was decided to sign a deal with a different provider after the contract was put out for bid, Forrest said.
"This was just a standard switching of provider," he said. "That happens periodically."

From the *American Social Health Association (ASHA), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, and †Digene Corporation, Gaithersburg, Maryland
ASHA extends appreciation to the following: the thousands of hotline callers and e-mail/letter writers who convey their concerns and share their unique needs with us; the ASHA staff members for their data and participation; the ASHA National HPV and Cervical Cancer Prevention Resource Center Scientific Advisory Board for its assistance in reviewing the questions and answers for scientific accuracy; and the many individuals, foundations, corporations, and state and federal governments who contribute financial support to the American Social Health Association.
Reprint requests: Lisa Gilbert, ASHA, P.O. Box 13827, Research Triangle Park, NC 27713.
Received May 9, 2002,
revised August 2, 2002, and accepted August 5, 2002.
EACH DAY during the year 2000, more than 13,700 people (patients, providers, the public, policy-makers, and the media) accessed information about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) from the American Social Health Association (ASHA). Often, these people sought answers, clarification, and clinical consensus about human papillomavirus (HPV), perhaps because of increased research interests and publications or heightened awareness of new HPV diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Unfortunately, answers to HPV questions can be complex, confusing, easily misunderstood, and in some cases unanswerable because of equivocal research results or a lack of studies altogether. After the National HPV and Cervical Cancer Prevention Resource Center (HPV RC) was established in 1999, a need emerged to compile the most frequently asked HPV questions and to develop straightforward and accurate answers to these questions.
This study consisted of two components: a content analysis of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and a consensus process for developing simple but medically accurate answers to the questions. To compile the most frequently asked HPV questions, anecdotal data were collected from four ASHA HPV RC staff members who, collectively, answered more than 4200 calls, 580 e-mails, 50 letters, and 220 lecture questions over a 9-month period. The former HPV Hotline Manager, the current HPV Resource Center Manager, the former President and CEO, and the former hpv news editor were asked to submit the 10 most frequently asked questions about HPV. Responses were summarized to capture the spirit of specific questions, categorized, and then analyzed by frequency. The top 10 questions were redistributed to the same ASHA staff members to answer. Their answers, which varied only slightly across participants, were summarized.
The second component was undertaken to ensure scientific accuracy of the answers. Three rounds of reviews were conducted to obtain consensus answers to the 10 FAQs. First, in October 2000, the 10 FAQs and answers were sent to and reviewed by three HPV and cervical cancer prevention experts, internationally recognized for their work in HPV. These three, representatives from clinical practice, academic scientific research, and the CDC, participated in a telephone conference call to discuss modifications and attempted to reach consensus on accurate answers. On the basis of the experts' feedback, both the questions and the answers were revised and sent to the HPV RC Executive Medical Director, J. Thomas Cox, MD, a practicing clinical and research expert. The document, revised according to Dr. Cox's comments, was sent to ASHA's HPV RC Scientific Advisory Committee before the biannual meeting, which was conducted by teleconference call in March 2001. Twelve world-renowned HPV researchers, scholars, clinicians, and public health educators participated in crafting the final answers. Table 1 describes the committee membership, affiliations, and credentials of contributing participants.
This process yielded succinct and accurate answers to the 10 most frequently asked questions about HPV:
(1) "How, when, or from whom did I get HPV?" Genital HPV is primarily a sexually transmitted virus. It is usually impossible to know from whom or when one acquired HPV because most people don't know they have it. HPV is very common, one of the most common STDs.
(2) "Will HPV affect a pregnancy or a baby?" Most treatments for cervical dysplasia will leave the cervix intact enough to preserve fertility. During pregnancy, warts and lesions may grow faster. Warts may have to be removed if they are bleeding or obstructing the birth canal. HPV is rarely passed on from mother to child; in rare instances, HPV types 6 and 11 can cause wartlike growths in the throat; this condition is called Juvenile Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis.
(3) "Can a person get or give HPV through oral sex or from hands?" Although HPV may be transmitted this way, it has been impossible to prove that it happens. Recent studies indicate a relationship between HPV and some head and neck cancers, but the route of acquisition is not clear.
(4) "How can I get tested for HPV?" Warts are diagnosed by a clinical visual inspection. In women, HPV-related cervical lesions (dysplasia) can be detected by Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. Women with uncertain Pap smears may undergo HPV testing or repeated Pap screening. There is no FDA-approved screening test for detecting HPV in men.
(5) "Will I always have HPV?" A healthy immune system suppresses the virus. It is difficult to predict when HPV is no longer contagious. Experts disagree on whether the virus is eliminated from the body or whether it is reduced to undetectable levels.
(6) "How can I prevent giving or getting HPV?" Lifetime mutual monogamy and abstinence are the best possibilities for prevention. Most sexually active people will get HPV. Condoms prevent many bacterial and viral infections, but if HPV is present on uncovered skin, transmission is possible.
(7) "Can partners reinfect each other?" Reinfection with the same type of HPV is unlikely; however, no studies have been conducted regarding reinfection or the effects of treatment on infectivity. Partners are likely to share the same HPV type. Exposure to the same HPV types does not appear to cause a person to experience more symptoms.
(8) "Does HPV cause cervical cancer?" HPV causes cervical cancer, but regular screening and appropriate follow-up treatment prevent most women from getting cervical cancer. Other factors (immune system, other STDs, smoking, genetics, number of partners, hormonal contraceptive use) might increase the risk of cancer.
(9) "What should I tell my partner about HPV?" Most sexually active people will get HPV. For most people, the signs and symptoms of HPV are only temporary. The majority of people do not develop symptoms; therefore, they do not know they are infected. Understanding the psychological, social, and physical impact of HPV will help put the virus in perspective.
(10) "What are the best treatment options for HPV?" The human papillomavirus itself is never treated; however, symptoms and signs of the virus are. Providers treat warts by freezing, burning, or cutting them off or by prescribing creams that are self-applied. Providers usually do not treat minor Pap smear abnormalities because most will go away on their own. The most common treatments for abnormal Pap smears are cryotherapy (freezing of abnormal cells) or LEEP (the excision of the abnormal cells). Patients should discuss all treatment options with their provider before deciding on one treatment.
This study was essential because HPV information can be complex, controversial, and/or limited, yet thousands of people are seeking answers. Summarizing and simplifying the questions, as well as arriving at consensus answers, is the beginning of an ongoing process. This information provides up-to-date, accurate, practical answers to the questions most often asked by patients, providers, and others. Most patients will find the questions and answers adequate, comprehensive, and comprehensible, which may help allay their and providers' discomfort and anxiety. Furthermore, the questions and answers can serve as a valuable reference for providers to use inpatient counseling sessions, helping patients understand that their questions and concerns are very common. Finally, it may be helpful for clinicians to provide copies of the questions and answers to their patients in anticipation of future concerns or partner considerations. Posting this information on ASHA's Web site, publishing it in hpv news, and disseminating the information via other modes of communication can answer many of the most common questions that thousands of people, including policy-makers and the media, have about HPV.

Hybrid, 2012Automotive zealots from electrical and mechanical streams joined hands to build a formula type hybrid car.
Read More
OJAS, the Sanskrit word for energy, perfectly captures the tough Indian competitive spirit which all the members on our team aim to bring to this competition. The members of Team Ojas always aim for innovation with a simplistic design. Our work revolves around our team motto. Fueled by Innovation, Driven by Determination. Inspite of the meagre number of selected teams from India, Team Ojas, representing VIT University, was the Only Team with a hybrid car in Formula Student UK 2012. We were also the First Team from India to qualify for the prestigious competition. Gaining some experience from the Hybrid Car, we wanted to aim for something which is more sustainable in terms of the environment. For this very reason we shunned the engine, and determined ourselves into making a fully Electric Car. Out of 500 teams which registered for the competition our car got selected in the top 120 teams to compete at FS UK 2013. The design and the suspension system of the car was well appreciated by the judges, for the strength, safety, and simplicity. At the event we were placed 51st in the Business Presentation, 54th in Cost Analysis and 76th overall. We aim to make our this year's car more innovative, lighter and better.
The fastest growing professional engineering institution in the UK. Formula Student is Europe's most established and most revered educational motorsport competition. The event is run by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers with the sole aim to inspire, develop and nurture the new innovative and enterprising engineers of the world. Universities from all across the globe participate in this competition to take on the challenge of building a single- seat, open cockpit racing car that can successfully compete in a set of dynamic and static events. The competition seeks to challenge the university students to conceive, design, build, cost, present, and compete as a team; in the process helping them improve their capabilities, push their limits and to broaden their horizons, ensuring a smooth transition from collegiate life to the much more real outer world. The cars are judged across a series of static and dynamic events wherein a maximum of 1000 points – 325 for static and 675 for dynamic – can be scored. The static events include the Business presentation (75), Cost analysis (100) and the engineering design analysis (150); The dynamic events include skid pad (50), acceleration (75), efficiency (100), autocross (150) and endurance (300).
What is mechanical engineering? Mechanical engineering is all about taking science and using it to produce things. It's about translating theoretical research into practical solutions and applications which are used by society. Mechanical engineers' discoveries, creations and developments of technology laid the foundations for modern life as we know it.
The development of mechanical engineering follows that of society and our built environment. Inventions such as the bicycle revolutionised travel and allowed people to move about freely as never before, impacting on how they lived and worked. Our timeline highlights these pivotal moments, from c6000BC until the present day.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It is do or die time for hockey teams in all leagues from the Blue West to the Red North to the Great Lakes Hockey League.
See some of the major happenings that took place during the weekend and what is to come during the middle of the week.
Mayfield shuts out Orange, 3-0, to take first place in White East
With a 3-0 defeat of Orange on Sunday, Mayfield now has sole possession of first place in the White East League. The Lions lost their previous two games against the Wildcats this season.
Olmsted Falls holds on to beat Parma, 6-4, to tie for first in Blue West
After being down, 4-2, to start the third period, the Redmen battled their way back and tied the Sunday afternoon game at 4-4 with less than three minutes left in regulation. However, the Bulldogs' Jake Norman scored only 13 seconds later to put his team back out in front. Norman scored a hat trick in the contest. The win clinched Olmsted Falls a spot in the Baron Cup.
Congrats to @OFalls_Hockey on their 6-4 win over Parma to move into 1st place in the Blue West Div. Read about it Monday @ElyriaCTSports.— James Brady (@jbrady_CT) January 13, 2014
Holy Name beats Gilmour, 5-2, to stay in the hunt for GLHL title
The two teams were tied at two after the first two periods of action on Sunday. Holy Name wasted no time in the third frame as Joe Meehan scored the first of his three third period goals only 39 seconds into the frame as his team went on to win, 5-2. The Green Wave remain alive in the race for the Great Lakes Hockey League title with a 4-1 record against league opponents. Holy Name went on to beat St. Ignatius, 3-2, on Saturday. Gilmour went on to beat Padua, 6-1, on Saturday but is still only 2-4 against GLHL teams.
Rocky River, Shaker Heights still neck and neck in Red North
Strongsville is still without a win against a Red North opponent but is likely feeling good about being able to pull off a 3-3 tie against league-leader Shaker Heights on Sunday. The Raiders are still unbeaten in league play at 5-0-2, as is Rocky River, 5-0-1. The Pirates beat Mentor, 2-1, on Friday and will play the Cardinals aon Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Rocky River. Shaker Heights will take on Holy Name at Ries Ice Rink on Friday at 9:15 p.m.
Walsh Jesuit takes over for St. Ignatius atop the Great Lakes Hockey League
With a 3-1 win against St. Edward on Saturday, the Warriors took a slim lead in the GLHL as St. Ignatius lost, 3-2, to Holy Name the same day. That sequence of events was enough for Walsh Jesuit to leap into the No. 1 spot in the league standings. Walsh is now 5-1-1 in the league while the Wildcats are trailing, not far behind, at 4-1-2.
Helluva hockey game between St. Ignatius and Holy Name. #CLUTCH GW by #6 on Holy Name w/ .8 secs left! #coldblooded— Andrew Hryn (@luckylefty_81) January 12, 2014
Walsh vs. Lake Catholic
The Warriors and the Cougars will meet on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Mentor. Both teams have only one loss and one tie against GLHL programs but Walsh has one more tally than Lake Catholic in the win column with five. This matchup could be pivotal in the GLHL standings.
Avon vs. Elyria Catholic
The Avon Eagles are still in the hunt for the White West title. They are 5-1 in league play, trailing only Western Reserve Academy, which is 6-1. Avon is scheduled to play Elyria Catholic on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Elyria. If Avon wins, the Eagles and Pioneers will be tied when they face each other on Jan. 24 in Kent. Avon defeated Twinsburg, 4-3, on Sunday. Eric Novakovic had a hat trick for the Eagles and Pat Baeder scored the game-winner.
