Localization of current dipoles with multichannel SQUID systems64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144359View Description Hide Description
Current sources in the human body can be localized by measuring the biomagnetic fields with multichannel SQUID systems. Important system aspects are the noise level, the ambient field suppression, the dynamic range, the reliability, the number of channels, and the arrangement of gradiometers. From the user's point of view the most important quality factor is the accuracy with which a current dipole can be localized. A test procedure is proposed to determine the localization power of the system. A 31‐channel‐SQUID system is presented together with the results of the test. The crucial parts of the system determining the accuracy are pointed out.
5 kW transversely excited atmospheric CO2 laser driven by a solid state exciter employing insulated gate bipolar transistors64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144360View Description Hide Description
An average laser output power as high as 5 kW has been produced from a transversely excited atmospheric CO2 laser pumped with a new solid state exciter. The exciter providing a 100 J transfer energy consisted of a high voltage pulse generator and a two stage magnetic pulse compressor. A stack of new high power semiconductor switches, called insulated gate bipolar transistors, was employed for the main switch of the pulse generator. A sophisticated discharge head with the corona preionization behind a perforated anode was designed to realize fast and uniform gas flow in cooperation with acoustic dampers. The maximum average laser power of 4.6 kW was attained at a repetition rate of 550 pps with an overall efficiency as high as 10.5%. The maximum repetition rate achieved was 1.1 kpps, at which the resulting average laser power was 3.4 kW.
Novel gas target for use in laser harmonic generation64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144361View Description Hide Description
A novel gas target was developed for use in laser‐atom harmonic‐generation experiments. It operates on the principles of free molecular flow rather than those of fluid flow as does a gas jet. This allows much lower gas pressures to be achieved. The device is a small, cylindrical, double‐ended hole through which the focused laser beam passes. Gas enters from the middle of the cylindrical wall and quickly disperses as it emerges out the hole openings. As with the gas jet, the purpose of the gas target is to provide a very narrow and localized distribution of gas for laser interaction. Some of the advantages of the target relative to the jet are that it is easier to systematically align to the laser beam and it can operate at much lower pressures. Results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the gas density and flow rate within the target and experimental measurements of the density profile made by imaging the recombination emission are presented herein. It is found that the gas density decreases rapidly once outside the target hole openings along the symmetry axis. The calculations are in good agreement with experimental measurements. The gas target continues to function without serious deviation at pressures up to ten times above the molecular flow range.
A degenerate‐four‐wave‐mixing apparatus for the study of materials in solution64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144476View Description Hide Description
A degenerate‐four‐wave‐mixing apparatus is described, with novel data acquisition, and sample handling techniques. Particular attention is paid to methods of noise reduction and elimination. Four‐wave mixing is performed with Nd:YAG laser light, at both 532 and 1064 nm, and with a pulse length of 20 ns.
A displacement and angle interferometer with subatomic resolution64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144362View Description Hide Description
The position and angle measurements discussed in the paper are carried out by application of a displacement‐angle interferometer which employs a single laser and is capable of resolutions better than 1 pm and 1 nrad. Angle and displacement values are simultaneously obtained by measuring the phase shifts between four points of the interference pattern with the use of a position‐sensitive detector. Though the instrument resembles an optical lever, it is largely insensitive to beam movements, since angle values are obtained by phase rather than position measurements. The interferometer design and performance are discussed, emphasis being given to applications in x‐ray/optical interferometry.
Optical instrumentation for eye length measurement using a short coherence length laser‐based interferometer approach64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144363View Description Hide Description
An optical interferometric approach is described for the measurement of axial eye length. The technique uses the short coherence length characteristics of the light source to locate, interferometrically, the position of the front surface of the eye and the retina. Results are presented from studies on an idealized model eye and the precision of the measurement is discussed. The advantages of the technique and a comparison with previously used short coherence measurements are also reviewed.
Ultraviolet micro‐Raman spectrograph for the detection of small numbers of bacterial cells64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144313View Description Hide Description
The construction of a practical UV micro‐Raman spectrograph capable of selective excitation of bacterial cells and other microscopic samples has been described. A reflective objective is used to focus cw laser light on a sample and at the same time collect the scattered light at 180°. With the aid of a quartz lens the image produced is focused on the slits of a spectrograph equipped with a single 2400 grooves/mm grating optimized for 250 nm. Spectra were detected by means of a blue‐intensified diode array detector. Resonance Raman spectra of Bacillus subtilis and Flavobacterium capsulatum excited by the 257.2 nm output of a cw laser were recorded in the 900–1800 cm−1 region. Bacterial cells were immobilized on a quartz plate by means of polylysine and were counted visually. Cooling was required to retard sample degradation. Sample sizes ranged from 1 to 50 cells with excitation times varying from 15 to 180 s. Excellent spectra have been obtained from 20 cells in 15 s using a spectrograph having only 3% throughput.
A paraboloidal electrostatic reflector for molecular‐beam time‐of‐flight photoelectron spectrometers64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144314View Description Hide Description
We describe a design for a paraboloidal electrostatic reflector (PER) adapted for molecular‐beam time‐of‐flight (TOF) photoelectron spectrometers. The PER offers a nearly two orders of magnitude improvement in detection efficiency over standard line‐of‐sight TOF detection. The energy resolution ΔE/E is nominally about 0.02, but can be improved to about 0.005 (to a current limit of ΔE=10 meV) at some expense in sensitivity. The PER makes possible sensitive measurements for inherently weak ionization experiments. We have used our spectrometer in applications involving low‐power picosecond pulses, low‐density molecular clusters, and ionization through dissociative states.
A detection scheme for zero‐kinetic‐energy photoelectron spectroscopy with multibunch synchrotron radiation64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144315View Description Hide Description
A detection scheme for zero‐kinetic‐energy photoelectron spectroscopy (ZEKE spectroscopy) adapted to the time structure of multibunch vacuum ultraviolet synchrotron radiation from BESSY is described. A resolution of 50 cm−1 (6 meV) is achieved at high stored ring currents providing high photon flux and resolution for one‐photon ZEKE spectroscopy and electron‐ion coincidence measurements.
Low‐temperature intracavity photoacoustic spectrometer64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144474View Description Hide Description
A cryogenic photoacoustic cell has been developed for intracavity use in a tunable ring laser. Its design ensures uniform cooling of the gas sample and minimum loss to the laser cavity. Also implemented is a flexible microphone mounting system that reduces thermal stress during temperature changes.
Optimization of the perturbation signal for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in the time domain64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144316View Description Hide Description
The choice of the perturbation wave form is of crucial importance for reliable electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements based on the fast Fourier transformation. Using numerical simulation, arguments and results are presented for the choice and the optimization of a perturbation signal constructed as a superposition of discrete sine waves with selected frequencies. Two possible ways to optimize the perturbation for better noise immunity are described: choosing proper values for the phases of the individual sine waves, minimal perturbation signal amplitudes can be obtained which improve the quality of impedance data by 25%. By introducing response‐sensitive amplitudes an improvement in the quality of data by a factor of 4–5 can be reached in the low frequency range. A new technique for single‐pulse measurements with continuous perturbations that assures a steady‐state response and better accuracy at high capacitive and/or inductive samples is also described.
Flow cytometry signal processing and data acquisition with a personal computer using an RTI‐800 multifunction A/D I/O board64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144317View Description Hide Description
The design and implementation of a data management system, consisting of a real‐time data processing and a PC‐based acquisition system, for measurement of flow cytometric data is described. The data processing system makes use of an erasable programmable logic device for implementation of dedicated control logic. The signal processing system is used for measuring the peak heights of 8 analog signals and simultaneous digital measurement of the time of flight. Four window discriminators are used for data selection and sorting applications. The data acquisition system is based on an MS‐DOS PC with a slightly modified commerical A/D I/O board, which we used to measure 8 analog signals (12 bit A/D converted) and 32 bit digital information per event. Using an IBM compatible personal computer with an 8 MHz AT bus, the total system is capable of measuring about 10 000 events per second.
A computer‐controlled microscopy system for following protein crystal face growth rates64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144318View Description Hide Description
A computer‐controlled microscopy system for following the face growth of multiple small (∼10 to 50 μm) crystals during one experimental run is described. The major system components are a controlling PC with a digital oscilloscope board, PC‐controlled translation stages for X, Y, and Z axes of motion, a video microscopy system, and a circuit to trigger digitization of preselected video lines. Crystal locations in the growth chamber are stored in an array, and sequentially accessed during each measurement cycle. Operator‐selected horizontal video scan lines are digitized and these data are used to calculate the distance between parallel faces of the crystals. The system was assembled from readily available components, and can be easily modified for other microscopy‐based tracking and measuring functions.
Time aberrations of uniform fields: An improved reflectron mass spectrometer for an atom‐probe field‐ion microscope64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144319View Description Hide Description
The mass resolution of the atom‐probe field‐ion microscope is limited by the time resolution of the ion‐separating spectrometer. Time aberrations of uniform fields are investigated in general in order to characterize the optimal performance of high‐transmission, high‐mass resolution, multistage reflectron lenses. Correction of higher order time aberrations greatly improves the mass resolution. For an ion beam with an energy distributed uniformly about some nominal energy, E 0±dE, mass resolutions (base width) of m/dm=848, 1344, 2151, 3571 can be achieved for single‐, double‐, triple‐ and quadruple‐stage reflectron mass spectrometers when dE=0.1E 0. A unique design example employing both second‐ and third‐order time correction is given for an atom‐probe field‐ion microscope.
Charge‐coupled‐device based time‐of‐flight charged particle analyzer64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144320View Description Hide Description
The time‐of‐flight technique is well suited for the analysis of electrons photoemitted from a surface by a pulsed laser. In this paper, a novel design for a time‐of‐flight charged particle analyzer is presented which incorporates a charge‐coupled device(CCD) for the direct detection of electrons photoemitted by an ultrashort laser. After traveling through a field‐free drift region, the electrons are accelerated, focused, and deflected onto a CCD. The positions at which the electrons strike the CCD determine their flight times through the drift region. The use of this analyzer is demonstrated by detecting electrons emitted from a Cu(111) surface by two‐photon photoemission. A computer simulation of the electron trajectories reveals that degradation in resolution and throughput at higher energies can be traced to the chromatic aberrations of the acceleration region just past the drift region.
An angle‐resolved translational energy spectrometer for investigating low‐energy, highly charged ion–atom (molecule) collisions64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144321View Description Hide Description
An experimental apparatus for investigating low‐collision energy gas‐phase reactions of highly charged ions with atoms and molecules by angle‐resolved translational energy spectroscopy is described. The basic function of the apparatus is to slow down highly charged ions extracted at 2–3 kV from the Cornell superconducting solenoid, cryogenic electron beam ion source (CEBIS) to energies below 100 qeV. The slowing down and monochromatization of the beam is done by an ion optical system that consists of two 180° hemispherical electrostatic analyzers with a tuneable deceleration lens located between them. The low‐energy beam available for experiments has an angular spread of 0.5° and an energy spread of 0.4 qeV. The ion optical system is mounted on a 508 mm by 576 mm electrically isolated platform inside a large vacuum chamber, and the modular nature of the apparatus allows for quick and easy rearrangement of the ion optical elements for different experiments. A brief overview of in‐plane scattering kinematics is given.
Elastic recoil detection for medium‐energy ion scattering64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144322View Description Hide Description
Medium‐energy ion scattering (MEIS) has been successfully applied for many years as a technique for structural analysis of solids. Advantages over competing techniques include superb depth resolution (5–10 Å), quantitative information (well‐known cross sections), and ease of interpretation. A weakness of the technique is the lack of sensitivity to light elements. We have adapted the technique to detect light elements by elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA). This has been used to analyze samples containing hydrogen and boron, with depth resolution of ≊10 Å, comparable to conventional MEIS. This is an order of magnitude improvement over conventional ERDA.
Cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope with a magnetic coarse approach64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144323View Description Hide Description
A compact, rigid, and reliable cryogenicscanning tunneling microscope (CSTM) with a vertical electromagnetic coarse approach system was developed. This device can be used for topographic and local tunnelingspectroscopy studies at liquid nitrogen and helium temperatures. Minimal step sizes of 28 nm for the electromagnetic translation device were achieved. The additional possibility of a coarse approach operation in the inertial slip‐stick mode, without electromagnets, was successfully tested, making this STM compatible with external magnetic fields. A simple technique for characterizing the STM rigidity has been developed. Preliminary data, taken with this instrument are presented, demonstrating the achievement, at liquid helium temperature, of atomic resolution for topographic studies, and also the possibility of measuring simultaneously superconductingenergy gap spectra.
Low‐temperature scanning tunneling microscope with a reliable piezoelectrical coarse approach mechanism64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144324View Description Hide Description
The design of a compact low‐temperature scanning tunneling microscope(STM) with a reliably operated piezoelectrical coarse approach system is described. The tip translation device is based on a new principle of sequential and parallel longitudinal step motions of the balanced frictional supports of the STM tip. The instrument was successfully tested in a temperature range from 0.4 to 300 K. The design is well suited for low‐temperature applications.
Tunneling probes for metrological applications using a long‐range profilometer64(1993); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1144325View Description Hide Description
The construction of a long‐range tunneling profilometer based on a ''Nanostep'' slideway is reported. This profilometer has potential capability of measuring surface profiles over a complete traverse of 50 mm horizontally and 15 μm vertically. Its characteristics have been investigated over both long and short scanning ranges. Results are presented of a series of repeat measurements over 1.4‐mm traces on a gold‐coated silicon wafer. A repeatability of better than 0.2 nm is obtained and surface features of a few nanometers have been resolved laterally. Anomalies in the characteristic of tunneling current with the bias voltage are discussed in terms of surface contaminants and physical contact between tip and sample. Some problems in the application of STM in nanometric metrology are also discussed.

I have used it, with large rotor loops, and it's done well. My cable is over 15 years old now, and in need of replacement, which is no surprise. I do not use coax arms down the tower, I only use one standoff at the top, and the cable hangs down. I tie it off with a bungee cord. When retracted, I loop the excess and hang it from my raising fixture. I avoid a lot of bending that way, and it has held up well. 73, Lou, KB0CJ -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 1:00 PM To: email@example.com Subject: [TowerTalk] Using Belden 9913 on a crankup tower? Could somebody tell me if Belden 9913(not 9913 flex)is usable on a crankup tower. What I am interested in, is if it is bendable enough when the tower is cranked down or will it bow out too much? Should I go to a more flexable cable for the run up the tower, or is it workable? This is for a 51 ft. crankup. Thanks for your help.

With the city now spending at least $10 million in graffiti removal, the push is to have parents help stop the vandalism before it happens
In the war on graffiti, maybe it's time for the borough's parents to step up and do their part.
Such are the feelings of Councilman James Oddo and State Sen. Andrew Lanza, who made the plea yesterday morning in front of the graffiti-covered Boulder Creek restaurant in Bulls Head.
"Chances are if you find your kid with a half inch marker or a can of spraypaint, he's no Da Vinci but rather a juvenile delinquent," said Lanza (R-Staten Island). "We're not blaming the parents, and nobody wants to believe its their kid, but the parents need to get involved."
The steakhouse closed down in October and has become a favorite billboard for vandals looking to illegally advertise on Richmond Avenue. Its tan siding and brick columns are covered in unauthorized artwork done with green, black and red spraypaint.
Oddo cited data he obtained by the NYPD revealing that a bulk of graffiti is done between midnight and sunrise.
"These are kids -- mostly 12- to 16-years-old -- leaving their homes in the middle of the night, plying their trade and then coming back in," said Oddo (R-Mid-Island/Brooklyn). "Someone's gotta hear the screen door."
He rattled off statistics showing how the city spent $300,000 in graffiti removal in 1993. A decade later, the cost had skyrocketed to $10 million.
"And that figure doesn't take into account property loss for owners," added Lanza.
Both legislators implored parents to check out their children's notebooks for graffiti scribblings.
"If it's in there, chances are they're doing it on a bigger, public canvas," Oddo said.
Oddo and Lanza both called the borough's graffiti blight a homegrown problem being carried out by Island youth.
"These aren't kids coming from New Jersey or Pennsylvania or dropping down from Pluto," said Oddo. "These are primarily Mid-Island and South Shore kids wreaking havoc."
The Advance previously reported how since September the police department has arrested more than 20 South Shore youths -- some as young as 11 -- who posted their tags names on MySpace pages and in YouTube videos.
Most of the youths were students at Totten Intermediate, Tottenville and Paulo Intermediate, Huguenot. Students from Tottenville and New Dorp high schools also were arrested.
In addition precinct-specific graffiti teams, the citywide NYPD Vandals Task Force also investigates the Island's taggers.
There is also the $55,000 spymobile used by Metropolitan Transportation Authority police officers to patrol train stations for vandals.
The City Council also is considering a bill that would charge a parent up to $1,000 for a child found violating the graffiti law, and another bill allowing merchants to demand photo identification cards from anyone looking to purchase aerosol spray-paint cans, broad-tipped indelible markers or etching acid.

HOOVER, Alabama - The American Red Cross offers the following tips for people whose homes or businesses have been flooded:
- Continue monitoring local media or a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather radio for updated information and instructions. If you are away from your flooded home or business, return only when authorities say it is safe to do so.
- Before entering, look outside for loose power lines, damaged gas lines, foundation cracks or other damages.
- Watch out for wild animals, especially poisonous snakes that may have come into your home or business with the floodwater.
- If you smell natural or propane gas or hear a hissing noise, leave immediately and call the fire department.
- If power lines are down outside, do not step in puddles or standing water.
- Keep children and pets away from hazardous sites and floodwater.
- When it is safe to return, wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and sturdy shoes when examining your walls, doors, staircases and windows for damage.
- During cleanup, wear protective clothing, including rubber gloves and rubber boots.
- Make sure your food and water are safe. Discard items that have come in contact with floodwater, including canned goods, water bottles, plastic utensils and baby bottle nipples. When in doubt, throw it out!
- Do not use water that could be contaminated to wash dishes, brush teeth, prepare food, wash hands, make ice or make baby formula.
The American Red Cross has set up two shelters in Helena and Homewood to help people affected by today's flooding. To check for shelters in other areas, visit www.redcross.org/shelter

By Ed Leahy
Republic of Ireland central defender Sean St Ledger has signed for Millwall on emergency loan until the end of the season.
St Ledger has missed most of the season for club side Leicester City as a result of a hamstring injury and had just returned to full fitness in time to be involved in Ireland's clash with Austria on Tuesday night.
The former Preston North End defender was used as a second-half substitute after Ciaran Clark picked up an injury 18 minutes before the end of the Aviva Stadium clash.
And now St Ledger will finish out the season at The Den and will miss out on Leicester's push for Premier League promotion.
St Ledger had played the last two games for the Foxes, albeit in the role of full-back, and will not be allowed to play for Millwall until Easter Monday when the Lions take on Ipswich Town.
Leicester and Millwall go head to head in the league on Friday night, so St Ledger will not join up with his new team until after that game.
The Ireland defender has been given clearance to play in Millwall's ongoing FA Cup campaign and should be involved in their semi-final at Wembley as The Lions take on Premier League outfit Wigan Athletic.

Top Teachers: Erin Bourne
Byrd M.S., eighth grade
Erin Bourne is willing to concede that the future employment opportunities of her current algebra students are unlikely to depend upon their abilities to solve quadratic equations on the spot.
But, they may depend upon their abilities to solve problems.
Bourne, who has taught eighth-graders for 11 years at Byrd, does her best to make algebra fun for her students while impressing upon them the importance of understanding the process they use.
"They might not use this specific topic, but what I'm teaching is problem-solving skills and how to use them," Bourne said.
It's working; Bourne is a student favorite who earns high marks for her classroom demeanor and willingness to help students who need assistance.
"Every child that has or has had her as a math teacher loves her," one nominator wrote of Bourne. "She is patient and inspiring. Her knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is above and beyond. She takes algebra and applies it to real life, and therefore the kids seem to appreciate why algebra is essential for life. She is well respected and highly regarded by all of the students in her class."
Math comes naturally to Bourne, who said she has always loved it but wasn't sure what she'd end up doing with it. A career fair in college helped sway her toward teaching.
Students appreciate her personality – a mix of excitement and occasional silliness.
"I have been told before by my kids that I'm very funny – they compare me to Jim Carey in my facial expressions," Bourne said with a laugh. "I'm very enthusiastic – I almost feel like I'm performing when I'm teaching."
Bourne regularly holds tutoring sessions before school begins to offer extra support for any students who need it. She can relate to those who do.
"The kids would probably be shocked to know that I took algebra twice," she said. "I got a C the first time in private school, then took it again in ninth grade."
The fit at Byrd has been a comfortable one for Bourne, who describes the faculty as a supportive family.
"Everyone is supportive, willing to help," she said. "Every year there's a new initiative that the county wants us to take on, and those faculty members who have been trained in it are anxious to help others."

After nearly seven months and 15 races, the battle for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship comes down to two contenders over 150 laps.
Ron Silk enters Sunday's season finale at Thompson (Conn.) International Speedway in a much better position to win his first Tour title than he was prior to the last race two weeks ago. Silk's lead grew from eight to 54 points after he finished seventh and Todd Szegedy's late-race crash relegated him to 22nd place at the Carquest Fall Final at Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway.
While Szegedy is looking to make history, it's not on his side, either. Only one driver has overcome a deficit in the final race to win the championship, and that was only a 36-point gap when Tony Hirschman snatched the title from Ted Christopher in 2005. If Szegedy were to pull off the feat, the 2003 titlist would set a record for longest period of time between championships.
However, the math is clearly in Silk's favor. All he has to do is finish ninth or better - regardless of what Szegedy does. The pressure, though, is still on Silk to make sure he stays out of trouble and on his crew to be certain the car is mechanically sound. Christopher lost the 2005 title when he crashed out after only 10 laps and Hirschman took care of his equipment enough to finish 12th.
Of course, there will be about 28 other cars on the track all with the same mission - to finish the 2011 season on a high note at the final event of the prestigious, three-day Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing.
Doug Coby dominated the last race at Thompson on Sept. 11, and the No. 52 team should be gunning for a similar performance on Sunday. Christopher has won a season-high four races and comes off a dramatic last-lap victory at Stafford. He has triumphed in the last three season finales and seven of the last 10 Tour races at Thompson overall, and another Sunday would tie him with Mike Stefanik for most all-time (14) at TIS.
Earlier this week, a major driver change was announced. The Hartford Courant reported that veteran Mike Stefanik, originally of Wilbraham, parted ways with the No. 16 car sponsored by Palmer's Flamingo Motorsports. Stefanik was not going to return to the team in 2012 anyway, so he decided to leave to let the team get a jump-start with its new driver, 20-year-old Ryan Preece.
Even at age 53, Stefanik shouldn't have a hard time finding a ride in 2012. He is expected to compete at Thompson for the team that he occasionally drives for in the Valenti Modified Racing Series, but I'm sure a better-funded team would jump at the chance to field a car for the seven-time Tour champion.
The change is a win-win, as Preece deserves to race for one of the Tour's top teams. After losing his full-time ride earlier this season, Preece has been going on a race-by-race basis in a car owned by his father. Following his runner-up finish at the Fall Final, Preece said the money could convince him to run the car at Thompson. Mr. Preece, you can now put your checkbook away.
The race is set for a 3:30 p.m. start on Sunday and live audio will be streamed at www.nascarhometracks.com.
WORLD SERIES SCHEDULE: Friday's events at Thompson will feature qualifying races for eight different divisions that will compete over the weekend.
The Saturday slate kicks off with Whelen Modified Tour qualifying, followed by heat races for the ISMA Supermodifieds, the NEMA Midgets, Sunoco and Sunoco Lite Modifieds, Super Late Models and Thompson Late Models. At 5:45 p.m., the first of nine features will roll onto the 5/8-mile oval (Pro-4 Modifieds, New England Truck Series, Monster Energy Mini Stocks, Thompson Modifieds, Sunoco Lite Modifieds, Limited Sportsmen, Outlaw Mini Stocks, Outlaw Street Stocks, Outlaw Late Models).
Sunday will see the Late Models, NEMA Midgets, Sunoco Modifieds, ISMA Supermodifieds and Late Models compete in feature action prior to the NWMT main event.
Admission tickets ($50 for adults, $75 including pit passes, $10 for kids 6-14 and free for kids 5 and under) are good for all three days.
MOO-LAH: Brian Hoar captured the championship in the 49th annual Peoples United Bank Milk Bowl at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, Vt., last Sunday. It was the first Milk Bowl win for the multiple-time American Canadian Tour champion since 1999.
His prize? The traditional cow kissing in Victory Lane. Hoar held off Thunder Road home favorite Nick Sweet for the victory.

Michael Jackson dominating iTunes sales after death
n his death, the world is rediscovering Michael Jackson. The legendary performer is dominating the iTunes album and single charts.
As of Friday, June 26, nine of Jackson's releases made the top 10 of iTunes album sales chart with the Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." the only non-Jackson charter at No. 10.
The singles chart was no different with seven of Jackson's tracks on iTunes top ten including No. 1 "Man in The Mirror," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Thriller," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," "Smooth Criminal," "Black or White" and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)."
There is an irony in a new generation discovering Jackson after his early passing, but the sales will only help pay off his reportedly $500 million debt.

KALAMAZOO, MI – I remember when I met P.J. Fleck for the first time.
His first press conference was loud and aggressive and his handshake was strong, which I was not ready for after spending countless hours in the month leading up to that manly greeting talking on the phone with sources to add new names to the candidate list and remove others.
I don't think Fleck was on anyone's radar in Kalamazoo before Dec. 17, when the news broke that the 32-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers coach with no head coaching or coordinating experience would replace a seasoned leader in Bill Cubit.
Fleck is on everyone's radar now.
While most first-year head coaches earn national attention for winning big their first season, Fleck made a different kind of splash this year with the Broncos (1-11), who were a two-point conversion throw by UMass away from statistically going down as the first winless team in program history.
Whether or not you fully understand or agree with his Row The Boat mantra, it has turned out to be a genius move for the simple fact that everyone from veteran sports writers to the average college football fan in the Mid-American Conference and in the Midwest associates that phrase with WMU football, even if it comes at the expense of Fleck and the Broncos being mocked.
To his credit, he stayed the path. He continued to greet me week after week with a smile, an aggressive handshake and his response of "elite" when asked how he was.
Fleck stood with the same smile in a hallway within Northern Illinois University's new multi-million dollar indoor practice facility less than a half hour after his Broncos lost to his alma mater NIU, 33-14, on Tuesday and offered a tidbit of the inner revelation he's had about his first season.
"The biggest thing I've learned is that every day presents a new challenge," he said. "If you ignore it you're letting an opportunity slide by. There's hundreds of challenges that come up on a daily basis. You can let them go or sit there and fix the problem and challenge the young men and create issues. You can create the ability to change things.
"That's the one thing that I truly learned, is that there is always going to be an issue every single day. There's always a challenge and you have to attack every day like you're going to be able to change this program overnight. I've really learned don't sacrifice what you really want for what you want right now. That would be the quote I'd give you, because that is true. Don't sacrifice what we really want for what we want right now. The future is really bright."
It's a stretch to call Fleck's first season on the sidelines a disaster, but it was ugly.
There was the loss on Sept. 7 to Nicholls State University, a lowly Football Championship Subdivision team that hadn't beaten an FCS or FBS team in the two previous seasons.
There was Fleck's stream of decisions early in the season to go for what seemed like every fourth down, short or long.
Maybe that was Fleck's way of saying he wasn't afraid of the big stage and the challenges in front him at WMU and he wanted to have a let's go for it attitude.
Perhaps that was also Fleck's way of learning more about his players, most of which were not his recruits and were not ideal fits for his offense, which lacked consistency from the play calling in the booth to success on the field.
Defensively, the Broncos didn't have depth and it showed as teams eventually ran for more than their average number against a hard-fighting WMU defense, which Fleck said "threw everything" at NIU Hesiman hopeful quarterback Jordan Lynch and the other 11 opponents this season.
So, what can you expect after a one-win season?
Fleck's facility improvements are ongoing and that should help build an already strong recruiting class full of three-star players, many of which are from within the six-hour recruiting radius Fleck said he would establish.
But, college stars aren't born in the eyes of bloggers, and high school stars don't always translate to the next level.
Even before Fleck can find out how their talents translate, he must get them to sign the dotted line. Many commits have remained on board with WMU, despite a less than appealing season. WMU is likely to lose a few commits to bigger schools, but the sheer number of 27 in the 2014 class shows promise for the future, which is all Fleck can sell right now, along with playing time.
There are grace periods with new coaches, but there no mulligans in college football. This season is now in the conversation as one of the worst in program history, but major improvements can happen from year to year.
Western Michigan went 1-10 in 2004 in Gary Darnell's last season as coach. The Broncos went 7-4 the next year in Bill Cubit's first season.
In 1975, WMU was 1-10 in Elliot Uzelac first season. He led the Broncos to a 7-4 mark in his second season.
There is potential to make Kalamazoo the mid-major hot spot Fleck has spoken about, but he must continue to learn. He must continue to be aggressive.
P.J. Fleck must eventually win.

SUMMIT — Thursday afternoon, May 22, students at Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School attended a Memorial Day and Flag Day Commemoration in the auditorium and on the lawn of the school.
They learned the history of the American flag and celebrated all the men and women in the armed forces who have given their lives in service to the county and its flag.
See Photos of the Flag Retirement Ceremony.
Members of Summit Elks Lodge 1246 saluted Brady Shaeffer, an eighth grade student at the school, who entered an essay on the topic of "What Veteran's Day Means to Me." His essay won third place in Division II out of more than 7,800 entries.
The Summit Police and Fire departments also received awards for their service to the community.
Patriotic musical selections were played by the Seventh Grade Band and the National Anthem and America the Beautiful were sung by Bel Canto.
Following the awards, the group moved outdoors to the school's lawn, where an official Flag Retirement Ceremony was held and a wreath was laid at the school's flag pole, while taps was played, followed by a moment of silence.

Louisiana has quietly been producing some top-level tight ends in the past few years and Acadiana rising junior Bry'Kiethon Mouton hopes to continue the trend.
It started with Curtis tight end Dillon Gordon in the Class of 2012 and Gordon ended up signing with LSU. In the Class of 2013, three tight ends found their way into the final rankings by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.
LSU signed Barbe's DeSean Smith (No. 6) while Rummel's Cethan Carter (No. 13) headed off to Nebraska and Karr's Standish Dobard (No. 15) went to Miami.
The Class of 2014 features another Tigers commitment in Westlake's Jacory Washington but still includes Karr's Anthony Jones, who has not committed yet, as well as Ville Platte's Kendall Ardoin, who is committed to Tulane.
Mouton, the No. 7 prospect in the NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune Fantastic 40, could be the next tight end in the state to be recruited by the best schools in the country.
He doesn't hold any offers yet but he's already seen interest from LSU, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas and Florida State.
"It felt great," said Mouton of hearing from those schools towards the end of his sophomore season. "I was just young. I just had to go out there and get it and still try my hardest."
Mouton could garner an offer when he attends LSU upcoming camp and he is also attending a camp at Alabama this month.
He said he is excited to participate in both camps and feels like it will bring out the best in him as a player.
"Everybody else there is going to be a top prospect just like me," Mouton said. "So there is going to be a lot of competition out there."
Mouton comes from a pass-catching background and only was moved inside once his body started to continue to grow. However, he possesses 4.6 speed in the 40-yard dash and is working to get even faster and uses his speed to his advantage on the field.
Mouton thinks that he would fit well into the new tight end-mold that LSU is looking for and has already signed in Smith and already has committed in Washington. He's hoping that he performs well enough at camp to pull an LSU offer considering how close Baton Rouge is to home.
"I am a pass-catching tight end," Mouton said. "You can let me run routes and I can go out there and get it."

HILLSBORO -- Megan Braze appears to be the newest addition to Hillsboro's City Council, according to Washington County Elections officials.
With more than 90 percent of ballots counted, the 26-year-old Oregon State University alum is leading all other vote recipients for the Ward 1 Position B seat currently held by Nenice Andrews.
Braze has 329 votes, beating Intel employee Trevon Jacobson, who has 137 votes.
Mark Matson is in third place with 69 votes. An estimated 3,180 votes were cast for the write-in race, according to elections manager Mickie Kawai. County elections officials have until the close of business Monday, Nov. 26, to certify the election results, Kawai said.
Write-in campaigns are time-consuming, as staff must examine each ballot, many including duplicate, inaccurate, offensive and otherwise creative entries.
Highlights include votes cast for Zeus and Christmas, as well as other offensive entries Kawai declined to mention. Mayor Jerry Willey received several write-in votes.
"That really doesn't help us," Kawai said.
Andrews served her maximum two four-year terms on the council, and no candidate filed paperwork in time to qualify for the ballot.
Ward 1 includes the Hillsboro Airport, Tanasbourne and Orenco Station. It ranges east to 185th Avenue, forms the northern border of town and crosses below Cornell Road to Baseline Street and as far west as Jackson School Road.

Hi All,
Is there already a helper function to allow users to easily extract the model-implied covariance matrix for the latent variables in a RAM-type model? If not, then I created one (attached). If there was already one, then I've duplicated it under possibly different implementation.
If this is useful to many people, then it could be incorporated into OpenMx at some point.
Silly latent attachments.
You might wish to use mxEval to obtain the A and S matrix so that you aren't directly accessing what is inside a slot. Granted, this has a bit more overhead, but it is negligible in comparison with being a bit more future proof.
I would also consider how to exit from the function if type!="RAM".

A few observations from MetLife Stadium where the Patriots lead the Jets, 13-9, at halftime:
Execution still an issue: The same problems that have plagued the Patriots recently are back. The team is 2-for-7 on third downs and squandered its only trip to the red zone. There was also a fumbled snap by Tom Brady that led to a safety. Luckily, the Jets are having similar issues, and a facemask penalty helped the Pats take a 13-9 lead prior to the half.
Ochocinco is alive: The biggest development of Sunday's game so far is the emergence of wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. He's caught two passes for 65 yards, the latter a 53-yard gain to setup a field goal that put New England up 6-0. He stepped out of bounds inadvertently after making his first reception, but things are looking much better for him.
Carter feasts: On the other side of the ball, defensive end Andre Carter has been an absolute beast. He's recorded two sacks – the first he beat Matt Mulligan, the second he was unblocked – and also forced an intentional grounding penalty. As a whole, the defense has been much better.
Where's the run?: New England needs to establish some semblance against the Jets' run defense, which at times has appeared vulnerable this season. Eight carries for 11 yards isn't good enough.
Brady not sharp: Brady is once again struggling with accuracy. There have been several throws that he usually makes that just aren't on the spot. He got lucky that a pair of passes weren't intercepted. It makes you wonder if there's anything to the speculation that his elbow is bothering him.
Ridiculous penalty: Steerling Moore, who started for Patrick Chung at safety, was whistled for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Jets receiver Plaxico Burress in the second quarter, but in fact the contact was on Devin McCourty. McCourty went to the turf and left the field.

Advanced Beings
Source Code for
Advanced Being
This King of Is Real was in fact delivered to mankind in 1962 point of arrival England, Bentwaters AFB. One could think of it as an extraterrestrial being to be trained in all human affairs. His birth date is found inscribed on the ceiling of the Dendera Temple in the Dendera zodiac which was removed from Egypt to France. His birth year was also predicted by Jeanne Dixon advisor to two presidents who predicted the Kennedy assassination. He was later transferred by boat to the United States and trained in Washington DC and then Cincinnati in his youth by the USAF. In 1987 he actively began his mission of disseminating intelligence and challenging the status quo and the authorities. There is one US Senator privy to his existence a former astronaut.
Mankind was trapped in an illusion living in bondage to the Anti-Christ which simply stands for falsehood. The King of Is Real would convey the truth about reality allowing the people to see through the illusion and appearances. The major operational areas of his focus being health, economics, government, technology and religion and the bridging the gap of understanding between science and religion. He would also reveal what had been hidden right under our nose and decode that which has been encoded. He would train many agents anonymously but many of them would later seek to promote themselves as the source of the genius and not having full understanding would lead people astray.
"They have become lucid in the waking dream." ~The Infinite Play
Be aware there are a number for Charlatans and false teachers that would pretend themselves to be this advanced teacher. Be sure to ask them to explain the science or detail behind what they say and teach to see if they were the mind that discerned or conceived the material. The current establishment is also threatened by the truth and intelligence he represents and would seek to filter or oppress him.
Advanced beings is all about learning the Art of Advanced Being v. and the development of a highly evolved consciousness, to become an advanced being n.
We are not all the same person, we are the same being. We are not all one as a person, we are all one as a being. -The Infinite Player Are you one in the same?
"It is said the 'Lord works in mysterious ways' the workings of the Lord and the science behind it will be explained and no longer be a mystery" -Infinite Player
Examples of Advanced being are seen in Infinite Play the Movie where we find the infinite players in contrast to finite players. Advanced beings use various tools and protocols to enhance their advancement and capability. Tools such as achieving altered states of consciousness using binaural beat brain wave entrainment that normally takes many years of meditative practice. They use biochemical Protocols such as advanced Internal Stem Cell proliferation, Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity protocols and will soon have access to the immortality protocols. They are also knowledgeable of the end of disease, and pathogenic defense protocols. They know about The God Particle Revelation and Intangics
In the world at large advanced being, verb, helps usher in the new consciousness and prepare us for the transition resulting from the death of the old consciousness, which includes complete infrastructure and systems design from the advanced being perspective.
Advanced beings have an interest in both scientific and esoteric spirit knowledge, and putting the puzzle pieces together they do not promote speculative fantasy.
Advanced being is all about is all about peace and prosperity for all, and playing the infinite game, for fun, not to win, because they realize a would be winner or loser are one in the same.
To sum it up; one piece of cake, two players desire it. The primitive player, finite consciousness grabs it and says "I got it first." The advanced being cuts it in half, offering the larger piece to the other player, and then they work together to bake another cake.

Here are a few of the cases that were resolved in Clackamas County Circuit Court last week:
Tyler Glenn Joos was stoned on nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, when he mowed down two 13-year-old girls who were walking to a Wilsonville pet store. When he was sentenced to three years in prison, the girls were in the courtroom and gave Joos a clear-eyed description of the pain his careless act caused.
Former Clackamas County tourism department employee Starla Jo Schurr pleaded guilty to misusing a county credit card. She spent at least $6,500 on personal expenses, including airline tickets, her daughter's wedding expenses and Botox.
When Sean Patrick Burr burglarized homes in Happy Valley, he made a dramatic entrance. He crashed a car through the garage doors.
And a couple of related matters:
Oregon City Police Chief Jim Band and Acting City Manager Tony Konkol were awarded the city's Distinguished Service Citation for their leadership in the wake of Reserve Officer Robert Libke's murder last fall. Libke's widow, Wendy Libke, was presented the Key to the City by Mayor Doug Neeley. Check out the photos.
Clackamas County's Justice Court opened in new, larger quarters on Monday. The new location, 11750 SE 82nd Ave., Suite D, is at Clackamas Town Center.

Verizon Complains That it Must Lock Android Devices in Order to "Manage" Them
Jason Mick
March 1, 2012 2:16 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Carrier's response to the FCC is unappologetic
Google Inc. (
) is supposedly a
champion of developer rights and software freedoms
. So it seems highly curious that while the majority of Android manufacturers like Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and HTC Corp. (
unlock their bootloaders
Motorola Mobility's
phones (such as the popular Droid RAZR) are still locked up tighter than Fort Knox.
Unlocked bootloaders allow for custom ROMs and the removal of
unwanted carrier "bloatware"
. This is particularly handy for independent developers, who may wish to test apps on several different versions of Android, on one device.
I. Motorola: Locked up Tight
On the other hand, a locked bootloader can be a daunting obstacle to enthusiasts. It takes a lot of effort to reverse engineer one. Although unlocking the bootloader via exploits
is legal
, the difficulty factor means it is
done for only a handful of the top selling phones
such as Apple, Inc.'s (
) iPhone. And even in these cases, the exploitation process
creates security risks
, which the company and unlockers must patch. All of this is less ideal than in the case where the carrier provides a secure, authorized bootloader unlock.
Motorola in posts to Twitter indicated that its phones were "
locked per carrier
But was this really the case?
II. Verizon Defends Locking
It appears so.
A reader of the site
Droid Life
filed a complaint with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission about the bootloader locking of Motorola phones on the network of Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (
) and Vodafone Group Plc. (
), and AT&T Inc. (
). The user complains to the FCC that the provisions of Verizon Wireless's government "Block C" spectrum license prohibit such actions.
In response to the complaint Verizon Wireless,
the largest U.S. carrier
, strongly disagrees with that sentiment. It wrote the following letter to the FCC:
Verizon's statements echo Apple's who has long
fought ardently with unlockers
III. With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
In reality, Verizon and Apple are right to an extent -- greater freedom of unlocked hardware means more risk (the digital analogy of getting your drivers license) that third-party ROMs
might allow malware
or interfere with the fundamental network hardware, such as data transfer utilities or the phone's antenna-dependent signal strength algorithms.
However, it's also an excuse for control. Some of this control -- such as fighting pirated apps -- is at least mildly pro-developer. Other aspects of control, such as user monitoring and
punishing unauthorized tethers
, are more questionable, given that it can detract from a user's experience and or endanger them.
The issue of user monitoring was especially noteworthy, given that it was recently found that HTC's smartphone were
printing sensitive information
via a monitoring app. And aside from the
HTC-specific security risk
, the revelation raised
privacy concerns
about how much data was being collected, and
who it might be shared with
. The scandal appeared to be part of what pushed HTC to unlock its bootloader.
Verizon Wireless
via Twitter that it did not use Carrier IQ. But domain lookups looks show that Verizon Wireless owns IPs associated with Carrier IQ domain names, according
to sources
. Some have speculated that Verizon may have simply rebranded the app, disguising its name (which would make its above denial
correct in literal terms).
And that's not to mention that unlocking allows Verizon to lock consumers to its network by disallowing their handsets to work on other networks -- an anti-competitive technique.
And ultimately the biggest point is that locking makes a developer unable to test their product broadly on one handset, locking out small developers from the process -- or more likely convincing them to pick a less restrictive carrier/OEM.
The decision definitely makes Verizon Wireless the carrier
to choose for those considering Android development.
Verizon is the most expensive carrier and one of the least friendly U.S. carriers when it comes to developer boot unlocking. [Image Source: Flickr/Exif]
For average customers, it's one more factor to weigh. Verizon has
industry leading customer service ratings
and the
nation's largest LTE (4G) network
, but also
charges more than any other carrier
for its data plans.
