The "Journey" series must be one of the most successful fantasy action-adventure movies that have appeared onscreen within the past five years. So it's no wonder that New Line Cinema wants to move forward and make another installment to round up the franchise into a trilogy with Dwayne Johnson in front of it all. The "Fast Five" star is in the middle of negotiations to star in "Journey 3."
Along with that, Josh Hutcherson's character will be showing up once again in the third film, meaning that New Line will be whipping together a new contract for him fairly soon. Directing once again is Brad Peyton while Mark and Brian Gunn will be putting together a new script.
Dwayne Johnson is turning into one of the biggest action stars out there, not only making his mark in the "Journey" series but in the "Fast and Furious" franchise and in "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," out in AMC Theatres on June 29th.

It May Look Simple, But It Ain't4/11/2012 10:55 AM Eastern
Ron Dawson pays tribute to the amount of work that goes into creating a film that looks deceptively simple (like Philip Bloom's "Portrait of a Boxer," found below). He says, "My lesson for you today is simple. When you're trying to educate your clients on why a 2 minute video will cost them $3,000, $5,000 or even $10,000, explain to them the analogy of the Meryl Streeps, the YoYo Mas, the Mariah Careys and the Philip Blooms of the world. There's a lot more in that execution than you know. In lesser hands, the end product will not be as good. But with YOUR experience, resources, and style, you will deliver a product of optimum quality."

Yamaha's bookshelf-sized Soavo 2 speakers have a very measured sound. You won't be floored by the amount of bass produced, but even at high volumes audio remains very composed and distortion-free.
The Yamaha Soavo 2 speakers have a bookshelf design, but you'll need some very spacious shelves to accommodate these monsters. They sound very balanced, and, while they may not be the best choice for music lovers, they would excel as part of a surround sound setup.
Yamaha is a company generally best known for the quality and quantity of its audio/video receivers, as well as producing products as diverse as pianos and motorbikes. Its latest attempt at enthusiast-level home audio is a solid one with the Soavo range of speakers. While it hasn't dabbled actively in the output side of home audio for a little while, there have been a few models from Yamaha that floored audiophiles in the 1970 and 1980s.
With this in mind, we approached the Soavo 2 speakers with great expectations. They're very imposing, measuring 38 centimetres in height. They're 35cm deep and 22cm wide, making them the largest 'bookshelf' speakers we've seen — they seem like behemoths next to the diminutive JB3 from boutique manufacturer JohnBlue. As a pair, the system weighs a full 10 kilograms, so they would certainly benefit from dedicated stands.
The Soavo 2 speakers don't use symmetrical enclosures — instead, they are trapezoidal, tapering towards the top. This is further accentuated by the design on the speakers' front, with shaved corners. These monolithic speakers have two drivers — a one-inch tweeter and a six-and-a-half-inch woofer. With four wire terminals on the rear, they're built to accommodate bi-amping — so if you have several thousand dollars and multiple power amplifiers you'll be right at home. They're rated at 30 Watts nominally, and can handle a frequency range of 45Hz all the way to 50KHz — even though the standard CD can only handle 20KHz.
When it comes to sound, the one word that can best describe the Soavo 2 is 'polite'. These speakers have a very balanced and unimposing sound, and this measured attitude is maintained even at higher volumes (and the speakers are able to fill a large room with sound).
Treble is spectacular. There's a massive amount of detail to be found in music, with a lot of ambient and background notes audible. The Soavo 2 speakers do a good job of uncovering all the flaws within music, however, so if you're playing back compressed MP3s be prepared to be unsettled by compression artefacts.
Mid-range is equally well represented. We were able to notice a lot of intricate detail in guitar tracks — individual notes were easily picked out and identified.
The lower frequency ranges were where we were a little surprised. Granted the Soavo 2 speakers are only bookshelf-sized, but the 6.5-inch woofer should be capable enough to pump out lower registers with ease. Instead, these speakers start to roll off at a relatively high frequency, which means they'd be well matched to a dedicated subwoofer but they won't be too thrilling for bass-heavy music on their own.
All of these elements were well weighted against each other, giving the speakers a very composed nature. Even at the lower and higher extremes of volume, sound was even and balanced with no frequency ranges abnormally loud.
Combined with the impressive frequency balance, stereo imaging is an area where the Soavo 2 excels. Positional audio is incredibly easy to distinguish and allows for an extremely immersive audio experience.
The Soavo 2 would be excellent as a monitor or surround effects speaker. They are still more than capable for most music and will faithfully recreate even the smallest nuance in your recordings, though bass response would best be bolstered with a dedicated subwoofer.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

While a majority of the performances were mediocre at best, the venue was mostly full and, as usual, provided an upbeat atmosphere. Kudos to Sterling of Energy 92.7, who's presence always adds to any event!!!

Three weeks of preliminary rounds have narrowed down the running from more than 30 of the finest female comics in San Francisco's comedy scene, culminating in this side-splitting, one-night-only final competition to determine who is the best of the best. Enjoy a night of original Bay Area comedy showcasing some of the funniest comics San Francisco has to offer and be a part of choosing who will walk away with the coveted title of Funniest Female.
Hosted by Bay Area radio personality Sterling James, from Energy 92.7 and featuring one of San Francisco's original funny ladies and frequent Cobb's performer, Gretchen Rootes.

SOUTH WOODSTOCK — About three weeks ago, Anne Marie Savino was riding single-file with Christina Phillips heading north on Route 106 near the Kedron Valley Stables when they were struck from behind by a 1994 Ford Ranger pickup.
Savino, 54, of West Windsor, said she has not been on a horse since the accident. She said she is healing physically but is still dealing with the emotional shock of the accident.

In rating sandwiches over the past several months, I've had several factors to weigh in handing out my final grades. One of the more significant parts of equation has always been the price point.
Now, that's not to say an expensive meal would merit a bad review, just that it had further to go in trying to impress me. A cheap sammich, on the other hand, had a much larger margin for error. This system of reviewing worked out pretty well, I think. It really seemed the only fair way to approach such matters.
And with that in mind, I thought I'd gush about one of my favorite sandwiches that I really hadn't touched on yet: the brown bag variety.
Today, I partook in a wonderful concoction constructed by fiancee, a roast beef sammich on whole wheat with roma tomato, fresh spinach and horseradish. In short, it's good, and it's one of my favorites.
She done good (like she normally does).
But what makes this thing even tastier is the knowledge I didn't have to break the bank to enjoy it. Over the coming weeks and months, that is going to become more and more important for a couple saving up for a wedding - and that leaves less time and money for sammich scouting.
So I've come to the conclusion I need to take a hiatus from the sammich blog. I haven't been able to give everything I've needed to give to this fun endeavor up to this point, and I also know the upcoming months are going to be even more demanding. Wedding planning is one thing, but my responsibilities at NOLA.com are expected to shift some here shortly as well.
I may check in from time to time, and I'll continue with my unabashed love for sammiches (and po-boys for you purists) in the meantime.
Take care folks, and happy eating!

Gotenks my man, I seen you as an intimidating figure before I started chatting with you. I don't know why; I felt that you and Intoxication were superior beings to those average folk of Neo. Until the day I first spoke to you both, and realised my thoughts were true!
Keep up the good work on here and thanks for approving my GG stuff when you get the chance! Hopefully with a bit more work on my part I can be working with you on CRS too.
I know successful guestbooks always include images; well aren't you a lucky man? Coincidentally, I just so happened to be out in the garden today, soaking in the weather and enjoying my bubbles. So, I leave you a picture of me in joy:

Voters will decide on annexation into fire district
"The Port Orchard City Council agreed June 11 to support an annexation of the city into Fire District 7 that could result in higher taxes, but lower insurance rates.City staff are currently drafting an ordinance to place the annexation on the November ballot.If approved by the voters, the city's contract with Fire District 7 for fire service will end and the fire district will assume taxing and coverage for the whole area. If approved, essentially the city will be out of the fire business and will turn the entire operation over to the fire district, said City Councilman John Clauson.Under the current city contract with the fire district, the city collects $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value from residents and writes a check to the fire district for the whole amount.Fire District 7 Chief Mike Brown told the council it's an inefficient and duplicative system - and one that diverts city property tax revenue from other city needs, like additional police or public works projects.That's because state legislators set a cap on how much taxing districts can tax residents. Because of the fire service tax currently levied by the city, the city is almost at its taxing capacity - even though $1.50 of the revenue goes directly to the fire district.By annexing into the fire district and allowing the fire district to tax everyone, that frees up some space within that cap for the city to tax residents for other things. Because the fire district's and city's fire service levy rates are equal, both set at $1.50 per $1,000, residents won't notice any difference in the taxes they pay for fire service.But city taxes could go up about $.30 per $1,000 of assessed value, meaning residents could see an overall increase in the amount of taxes they pay. City officials have indicated this November, they will likely increase the city tax. That's, in effect, new money for the city, Clauson said. We're proposing to increase to that level, and, most likely it will go toward additional police.At the same time, annexing could result in a decrease in fire insurance premiums for residents by improving the fire district's rating. Fire districts that maintain contracts, like Fire District 7 does now with the city, don't qualify for the rating upgrade. By getting a rating improvement, the district essentially shows it can provide better, faster service, which presumably would result in reduced losses from fire or accidents. Insurance companies like to see that, and they lower the fire coverage premiums for customers living in fire districts with good ratings. The advantage to annexation is that when they have complete control, they're able to do things required by the fire rating service - the folks who decide what insurance rating would be, Clauson said.

Saturday, February 16, 2013 from 1pm to 3pm

Gregory H. Russell is a former award-winning filmmaker who lives and works in San Francisco.

The visual narratives available to read in their entirety at his website include The Man With Two Souls, about an army of men lost in Hell and their terrifying journey back to the surface world; and The Blue Shark, about a wayfaring pirate who murders a prostitute and is exiled with her remains on a raft set out to sea, where they are attacked by a school of sharks (http://gregoryhrussell.wordpress.com/tag/visual-narrative/).
Gregory H. Russell's current project is a long form graphic novel currently being serialized at his website entitled A Girl's Misfortune. He will be bringing the entirety of A Girl's Misfortune to the Cartoon Art Museum, along with some works in progress including a small graphic novel called The Radiance of the City, and will have some exclusive art prints and posters available during his stay-in-residence.
About the Cartoonist in Residence Program:

By James O. Welsch and Linda Loomis
Syracuse Symphony Orchestra infused opening night of the new season with energy and vitality.
Opening the with Joan tower's "Made in America," a series of variations and explorations on "America the Beautiful," and continuing the first half with Tchaikovsky's "Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor," the musicians made the familiar all seem new. Aaron Copland's "Symphony No. 3" provided a thoroughly American experience in the second half with overall warmth and intriguing rehashing of "Fanfare for the Common Man."
Linda: I am unabashedly taken with the youthful exuberance and unselfconsciousness of Joyce Yang, who radiates joy in her dramatic presentation of Tchaikovsky. She earned those three curtain calls, and the audience was clearly elated with her performance.
James: Although not one of the pieces to which I gravitate with fondness, this concerto was wonderfully executed by a very intelligent and capable young musician. Yang found a subtlety of color in many of the opening movement's cadenzas and quite literally left me hanging on till I felt I could take another breath. She obviously understands the place of the instrument as solo and orchestral color in this work.
Linda: With a piece as familiar as this, we can almost feel the audience enter into the spirit of the music, especially in the opening section, which has been used in so many different presentations through the years—people are practically humming at the downbeat. I thought a particularly beautiful moment came in the second movement with the piano/cello duet. That was lovely harmonic conversation.
James: Well, this season seems to be a first in terms of welcoming so many new musicians to the roster. What a superhuman task to put together a demanding piece like Copland's "Symphony No. 3." I think, once these ladies and gents get a chance to know one another better, they will really begin to create some awesome sounds. There is already a different coloristic approach to the wind and brass. The brass, who exhibited great execution, will be fantastic once they find each other. We can't forget those woodwinds, though, who were remarkable in the inner movements of the symphony. Don't you think, Linda?
Linda: I was mentally cheering for them even before Daniel Hege motioned for them to stand for applause. I enjoy this symphony—love the way the extended variations alter, but never let go of the thread of Copland's earlier "Fanfare For the Common Man."
James: As wandering as Copland's melodic interest tends to be, I can't help but feel drawn to this work in particular, despite the re-working of an overplayed fanfare. Its musical lines feel good in my skin and reverberate for long periods. It is not only quintessentially American - it is poignant, strangely familiar, and an execution of perennial mystery and beauty. Folks, if you've never heard this piece, please hear it and experience something spectacular.
Linda: This is Hege's 10th anniversary year, a landmark for the community and for him. James, you and I can anticipate increasingly stronger performances as the season progresses. Central New York music lovers will do well to fill those seats and enjoy the magic of live symphony. Our advice is to start by getting tickets tonight.

Growing up in North St. Louis, Mo., soccer was always a part of Vince Ventimiglia's life. He started playing when he was 5 and, modestly he'll tell you, he had some successful years playing. Like when he was on the U-19 National Cup championship team.
But when the now-73-year-old moved to Colorado in 1960 with an engineering degree from Missouri School of Mines and jobs lining up for him the sport was virtually non-existent.
Nil. None. No soccer to be found.
It's not like Sam Hoidal isn't athletic. He played basketball in middle school, but he didn't find his sport until he walked on at the University of Wisconsin four years ago.
"It's something you can be competitive in," the 20-year-old said of rowing. "Wisconsin is a great football, basketball school, but rowing is something I found that I can do well. People have their clubs, have their study groups, their teams. It's nice being a varsity athlete at a Division I school."
Late June and early July are probably the most beautiful time of year in the mountains. Rain has finally come in enough quantity to restore life to the foothills and everything is lush green.
It is so green that you might think you are in Ireland. The grasses are green, the trees are green, kinnikinnick is green, our whole immediate world is green with blue sky overhead, and around every twist of a road or trail you are greeted by a splash of color from wildflowers.
Shortly after 7 a.m. on July 9, 53-year-old Dan Oracion felt like he was ready for the challenge he was about to embark on. The Casper, Wyo., cyclist was about to begin his journey in the 23rd annual Triple Bypass. Only this time, he was going to do it twice, both ways, in the same weekend.
"I'll have to make sure to recover real well tonight, get a good meal and get to bed early so my battery is recharged, my legs are recharged to do it again tomorrow," he said.
The last out is a lot of times the hardest to get, even despite when one is pitching as well as Mike Imes was on July 9. The Evergreen starter baffled Bear Creek's batters, scattering just four hits. But with his team leading 3-0 with one out to go in Game 1 of a doubleheader five straight balls threatened the win.
However, Imes didn't flinch.
A reader of this column sent me a message via the Canyon Courier this past week, saying she had seen a great blue heron along North Turkey Creek and was wondering if that was unusual. Yes, it is a bit unusual this early in the season.
Steven Stick is only going to be a junior next school year, but it's hard to imagine he's going to be any better than he was on June 28 at Evergreen High School. He was plenty good, and he could get even better.
The 6-foot-4 Lobo did it with his pitching, where other than one five-run inning he held the Cougars in check with 10 strikeouts, and his stick, going 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs in a 8-5 victory.
Kendall Chase looks like the typical high school athlete. And she's tried many sports — soccer, golf, basketball and volleyball. Yet, it wasn't until the Evergreen resident and the soon-to-be Mullen High School senior found rowing that she found her true calling.
A natural athlete, Chase's height — she's 5-foot-11 — likely pigeon-holed any success she may have had at the next level, especially in basketball. But it hasn't stopped her in rowing where she's a natural fit.
Nathan Rice says he pretty much knows where he's at when he's running. The 22-year-old especially knows when he's getting toward the end. He'll look at his watch and kick it the last two minutes hard.
Yet, that's easier said than done when you're battling injuries.
"I just came off a knee injury, hernia surgery eight months ago. I've been running light to see where I was, how I'm doing," Rice said.

For 25 years, N.F. String & Son Inc. has been a successful business on Howard Street in South Allison Hill, one of the most economically depressed areas of Harrisburg, Pa.
The company has 48 workers, and at least one in four live close enough to walk to work.
President and CEO Gregory String 53, of Mechanicsburg, said he is certain the company will keep growing and add at least 100 jobs over the next two years. Founded in 1929, the company is known for its coin wrappers and coin-sorting machines.
But the company's expansion won't happen in Allison Hill because String is determined to leave the city.
String said he is moving his business to the West Shore because his plans to expand in the neighborhood have been stymied by the city and the Community Action Commission, a nonprofit community revitalization organization.
City and Community Action Commission officials said they tried to work with String, but he did not cooperate.
String said several years ago he started looking for properties in the neighborhood where he could expand. He said the most promising was a four-acre vacant tract across Howard Street that once housed an automotive business.
String said the city and Mayor Stephen R. Reed led him to believe he could buy the site to construct an 80,000-square-foot building.
String said he then learned the commission had a contract with the land's owner, the Harrisburg Redevelopment Authority, which gave the commission control over what development would occur on the site.
He said he met with former commission Executive Director Linda Figueroa, who told him that according to a survey, neighborhood residents didn't want manufacturing, but playground and recreational facilities.
Figueroa, recently retired, referred questions to Allen Westbrook, chairman of the commission's board of directors.
Westbrook said the commission passed a resolution in 2006 pledging to work with String or any other developer interested in the property.
Westbrook said Figueroa wrote a letter to the Dauphin County commissioners, copied to N.F. String, asking the company to provide a site plan for what it wanted to do with the property, a business plan and a plan for how many jobs the expansion would create.
"We never heard from Greg String or N.F. String in this whole process," Westbrook said.
Reed, in an e-mailed response through city spokesman Matthew Coulter, said, "Having not heard any formal proposal from N.F. String in 2007, the Community Action Commission received and considered a proposal to put a major sports complex on the site."
But Reed said the project ran aground for lack of financing.
Now that the sports complex project isn't viable, Reed said the site "is fully available for N.F. String Co.
"We would welcome a submitted proposal from them to acquire and develop the site, and the company should proceed to do so," Reed said. "There is nothing that prevents them from doing so, and I want them to do so."
But String said he has no use for business plans to satisfy bankers or bureaucrats.
He's toured 10 possible relocation sites on the West Shore and has it narrowed down to two.
He said the company will be gone by Jan. 15, no matter what.

Irreducible tensors and selection rules for three‐frequency absorption83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449343View Description Hide Description
In this paper rate equations and selection rules are derived for the most general case of three‐photon absorption, where the photons all have different frequencies and directions of propagation. The rate equations are re‐expressed in terms of irreducible tensor products, and the relationship between these and the more familiar isotropic molecular parameters is given in full for the first time. The selection rules are examined in detail and a classification scheme for the allowed transitions is given together with a method of experimentally distinguishing between the classes. It is shown that once assignment of a transition to one of the 11 possible classes has been carried out, the symmetry of the excited state can in many cases be unambiguously identified. The connection with the classification schemes previously developed for single and double‐beam three‐photon absorption is also discussed, and finally, a special experimental arrangement is proposed which should give rise to a spectrum in which the only transitions to occur are those forbidden by both single and double‐beam excitation.
Multiple‐quantum dynamics in solid state NMR83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449344View Description Hide Description
Recently developed solid state multiple‐quantum NMR methods are applied to extended coupling networks, where direct dipole–dipole interactions can be used to create coherences of very high order (∼100). The progressive development of multiple‐quantum coherence over time depends upon the formation of multiple‐spin correlations, a phenomenon which also accompanies the normal decay to equilibrium of the free induction signal in a solid. Both the time development and the observed distributions of coherence can be approached statistically, with the spin system described by a time‐dependent density operator whose elements are completely uncorrelated at sufficiently long times. With this point of view, we treat the distribution of coherence in a multiple‐quantum spectrum as Gaussian, and characterize a spectrum obtained for a given preparation time by its variance. The variance of the distribution is associated roughly with the number of coupled spins effectively interacting, and its steady growth with time reflects the continual expansion of the system under the action of the dipolar interactions. The increase in effective system ''size'' is accounted for by a random walk model for the time development of the density operator. Experimental results are presented for hexamethylbenzene, adamantane, and squaric acid. The formation of coherence in systems containing physically isolated clusters is also investigated, and a simple method for estimating the number of spins involved is demonstrated.
The microwave spectrum of the vinoxy radical83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449345View Description Hide Description
The pure rotational spectrum of the vinoxy radical, CH2CHO, was observed for the first time in the millimeter‐wave region. Both the C2H4+O and CH3CHO+F reactions yielded the radical, the latter being four to five times more efficient. Many a‐type R‐branch transitions were identified in the frequency region of 80 to 176 GHz with resolved fine structure and partially resolved hyperfine structure. An accidental degeneracy between the 62 4 J=6.5 and 71 6 J=6.5 levels enabled us to accurately determine the off‐diagonal components of the fine and hyperfine interaction constants. A small positive inertial defect Δ0=0.057 58 (16) amu Å2 calculated from the observed rotational constants indicates the radical to be planar in the ground electronic state. The observed hyperfine coupling constants of the protons clearly demonstrate that the formyl methyl type resonance form ⋅CH2CH=O makes dominant contribution to the ground electronic state, while the ethenyloxy form CH2=CHO⋅ is relatively unimportant.
Theory of band shape formation in Auger and autoionization spectra of molecules. Numerical applications and new high‐resolution spectra for CO83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449346View Description Hide Description
Theory of band shape formation in Auger and autoionization decay in molecules is presented and numerically applied to spectra of the CO molecule. In particular, the role of lifetime vibrational interference in the various vibronic decay channels is elucidated. New high resolution Auger and autoionizationspectra are presented. The calculated band shapes are compared with the experimental recordings. The vibronic spectra of the intermediate states in the Auger and autoionization decay are analyzed and compared with available ESCA and EELSspectra, respectively. The role of the electron correlation on the formation of the core state potential surfaces is investigated in that connection. The assignment problem of the outer part of the CO Auger spectrum is reinvestigated and the effect of interference due to hole mixing in the wave functions is pointed out. The time dependent Franck–Condon (FC) formalism used to derive the lifetime vibrational interference is shown to have a bearing on the analogy of the sudden approximation for electron ionization with the FC principle for vibronic excitations and makes possible a derivation of the lifetime for the vertical vibrational state in electron ionization.
Lifetime‐vibrational interference effects in the ultra‐soft x‐ray emission spectrum of CO83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449852View Description Hide Description
The effect of lifetime‐vibrational interference in the carbon and oxygen ultra‐soft x‐ray emission (USX) spectra of CO is theoretically analyzed. Computed spectral functions are compared with high‐resolution experimental recordings. A time dependent Franck–Condon formalism is employed in the theoretical treatment of the interference. The electronic states involved in the analysis are determined by means of large scale MCSCF and CI calculations and the nuclear wave functions are solved for numerically. Certain features of the spectra are found to be sensitively dependent on the interference and can hence be used as a monitor for the core state lifetime.
Detection of SiH(X 2Π) fundamental and hot band transitions by diode laser absorption spectroscopy83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449347View Description Hide Description
Infrared absorption spectra of the SiH free radical have been detected in a silane plasma discharge. In addition to fundamental band transitions some hot band lines have been identified from predictions derived from optical and FTIR data. Low Q‐branch transitions in both 2Π1 / 2 and 2Π3 / 2 states of the fundamental have been accurately measured and incorporated in a new set of predictions based on the present work and earlier FTIR data.
Infrared absorption and predissociation of NO dimer83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449348View Description Hide Description
The infrared absorptionspectrum of the ν4 fundamental band of (NO)2 has been recorded at 0.3 cm− 1 resolution in a cell cooled down to 110 K. From the band contour analysis and comparison with a simulated spectrum accurate values of the rotational constants in the ν4 state are derived, showing a reduction of the van der Waals bond on vibrational excitation. Absorptionmeasurements performed using the various lines emitted by an isotopic CO laser suggest an unresolved rotational fine structure. A lower limit of the time for energy redistribution of 50 to 100 ps is proposed. Also, infrared photopredissociation of (NO)2 has been directly observed in a crossed laser‐molecular beam experiment using bolometric detection of the beam attenuation. An upper limit of the dissociation lifetime can be set to 10− 3 s.
Microwave rotational spectra, hyperfine interactions, and structure of the hydrogen fluoride dimers83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449349View Description Hide Description
The hyperfine structure has been resolved for the two J=0→1 transitions of (DF)2, for the low frequency J=0→1 transition of (HF)2, and for the J=0→1 transition of the mixed species HFDF. Also, the J=0→1 transition and hyperfine structure were observed for the other mixed species DFHF, not found previously. The relative intensities of the transitions for HFDF and DFHF, and their zero‐point vibrational frequencies, correspond to an effective equilibration temperature between the two species of ∼50 K in the gas expansion. Resolution and assignment of the (DF)2 and (HF)2hyperfine structure was aided by a method for suppressing the Doppler doubling in a Flygare spectrometer; it improved resolution twofold to a FWHM of 5 kHz at 11–14 GHz. The results bear on several features of the angular structure of this unusual system. At equilibrium, the end H/DF in HFDF and DFHF is bent 60±2° from the F⋅⋅⋅F axis, while the H/DF in the hydrogen bond is bent 7±3° in the opposite direction. The tunneling in (DF)2 gives an average angle between the DF's and the a axis (39.3° and 38.7° for the two transitions) which is 1.5° larger than the composite (37.5°) of the DF's in DFHF and HFDF. For the (HF)2 transition, the observed average angle (40°) is also 1.5° larger than the composite (38.5°) of the HF angles in the mixed species. The hydrogen bonding in HFDF and (DF)2 decreases the electric field gradient at the deuterium by ∼15% from its value in free DF.
The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of methyleneimine in the 10 μm region83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449350View Description Hide Description
The infrared spectrum of methyleneimine, CH2NH, has been observed in the gas phase with a resolution of 0.0048 cm− 1 using the National Optical Observatory solar Fourier transformspectrometer. The CH2NH was produced by the pyrolysis of CH3NH2 at ∼1000 °C. Vibrational band origins and rotational constants have been determined for the ν7, ν8, and ν9 bands. These were analyzed as a set of three states strongly coupled by Coriolisinteraction. More than 2500 transitions were assigned, of which many are ''forbidden'' transitions, such as q Q branches, induced in the ν9 band by the strong Coriolisinteraction between ν7 and ν9. Owing to the high precision of the data, and the high J values of many of the observed transitions, it was necessary to include many of the high order interaction constants in order to achieve a quantitative fit.
High resolution infrared spectrum of methyleneimine, CH2NH,in the 3 μm region83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449351View Description Hide Description
The infrared spectrum of the short‐lived methyleneimine, CH2NH, was obtained in the gas phase with a resolution of about 0.01 cm− 1 from 2800 to 3200 cm− 1, using the Kitt Peak National Observatory Solar Fourier TransformSpectrometer. The ν2 band and the high order Coriolis coupled ν3 and 2ν5 bands have been analyzed rotationally. Several hundred transitions have been fitted and accurate band origins and rotational constants have been determined for each of the bands.
Nonperturbative theory of temperature‐dependent optical dephasing in crystals. II. Pseudolocal phonons83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449352View Description Hide Description
We continue our discussion of the nonperturbative theory of zero‐phonon impurity lines in crystals formulated by Osad'ko and more recently by us. In Paper I of this series we evaluated our general results for the linewidth and shift for models of electronic coupling to both acoustic and optical phonons. Here we evaluate our general results for a simple model of electronic coupling to a pseudolocal phonon. The pseudolocal phonon is characterized by its frequency and lifetime in both the ground and excited electronic states. In addition to providing exact analytic expressions (reduced to quadrature) for the width and shift, we derive an approximate analytic expression for the linewidth that is bi‐Arrhenius, with activation energies corresponding to the ground and excited state pseudolocal phonon frequencies. We discuss how our theoretical approach and results are related to the exchange theory of Harris, the optical Redfield theory of deBree and Wiersma, and the perturbation theory of Small and Jones and Zewail. In Paper III of this series, we compare the results of this paper and of Paper I to experiment.
Nonperturbative theory of temperature‐dependent optical dephasing in crystals. III. Comparison with experiment83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449353View Description Hide Description
We have applied the results of the nonperturbative theory of zero‐phonon linewidths of impurities in crystals discussed by Osad'ko and us, and further developed by us in papers I and II of this series, to the analysis of several absorption,photon echo, and hole burningexperiments. Two (relatively) high temperatureabsorptionexperiments on 1,3‐diazaazulene in naphthalene and dilute ruby were analyzed with a model of Debye acoustic phonons. In both cases the Debye temperature was obtained from independent experiment or theory, and a one‐parameter fit was performed on the temperature‐dependent linewidth. It was found that (especially for diazaazulene) the systems are not in the weak coupling limit. For several low temperature experiments, where the dephasing is presumably due to pseudolocal phonons, the nonperturbative theory, coupled with the results of deBree and Wiersma, provides a reasonably complete understanding of the observed dephasing rates.
Selectivity in coherent transient Raman measurements of vibrational dephasing in liquids83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449302View Description Hide Description
The microscopic information content of coherent transient Raman measurements is analyzed. It is shown that for short pulses and optically thin samples the Kaiser–Laubereau pulse sequence is the Raman analog of the optical free induction decay, and that the experimental observable contains the same dynamical information as the isotropic, spontaneous Raman line shape. Under these conditions, the experiment therefore cannot be used to selectively measure the homogeneous dephasing time of a system with an inhomogeneously broadened line. The results of our analysis are at variance with the earlier results of Kaiser and Laubereau and the more recent predictions of Oxtoby. However, these experiments, under certain circumstances, may be used to obtain a nonselective line narrowing, as found by Zinth, Polland, Laubereau, and Kaiser. We also consider the situation in which the sample is optically dense, in which case laser depletion must be taken into account. The distinction between saturation of the vibrational transition and depletion of the pump pulse is discussed, and selectivity is shown to arise from the former phenomenon, rather than from the latter. This result is at variance with the predictions of George and Harris. An alternative pulse sequence, the Raman echo, is suggested as a tool to achieve selectivity. A unified theory of the Raman echo is developed, which is valid for a bath with arbitrary time scale and which interpolates between the limits of homogeneous and inhomogeneous line broadening.
Coherent Raman and infrared spectroscopy of HCN complexes in free jet expansions and in equilibrium samples83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449303View Description Hide Description
Small hydrogen bonded complexes of HCN and DCN have been examined in the gas phase using FTIR and photoacoustic Raman spectroscopy (PARS). Four distinct bands are seen and assigned to CN stretching modes of the HCN dimer (D) and trimer (T). Previous microwave studies have shown the HCN dimer to be linear and analysis of the IR trimer band shape unambiguously demonstrates that the HCN trimer is also linear. The pressure dependent intensity of the observed transitions yields IR and Raman cross sections relative to the monomer of: (σ D /σ M )IR =30±10, (σ T'/σ M )IR =500±200, (σ D /σ M )Ram =0.5±0.1, (σ T /σ M )Ram =3.3±0.7. The dramatic enhancements seen in the IR cross sections are due to small but significant (∼2×) changes in the CH bond dipole derivative. CARS spectroscopy has been used to examine the complexes formed in supersonic expansions of pure HCN (DCN) and HCN diluted in Ar and He carriers. Due to the cooling and collision‐free conditions in the jet, this method yields higher effective resolution than is possible with equilibrium samples. The added ability to ''tune'' the size of complexes by varying expansion conditions has allowed us to observe a number of other modes in HCN and DCN dimer and trimer as well as in higher polymers. These data have been used to partially refine a harmonic valence force field for the stretching modes of the dimer and trimer complexes.
Valence transitions in 1,3‐cyclopentadiene, 1,3‐cyclohexadiene, and 1,3‐cycloheptadiene83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449304View Description Hide Description
The 300–180 nm (4.1–6.9 eV) optical absorption and 4–10 eV (310–124 nm) electron energy lossspectra of 1,3‐cyclopentadiene, 1,3‐cyclohexadiene, and 1,3‐cycloheptadiene were measured. Three valence and several Rydberg transitions were observed in each molecule. The two strong, optically allowed valence transitions are interpreted as the NV1(B 2) and NV3(A + 1) transitions (states). The locations of the unobserved A − 1 states in cyclic dienes is discussed. Correlations are drawn between the three valence excited states observed here in each c i s‐diene and those previously reported for t r a n s‐butadiene.
ESR and ENDOR studies of dl‐proline⋅HCl single crystals83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449305View Description Hide Description
By means of ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy, single crystals of dl‐proline⋅HCl, Cl−H2+N(CH2)3CαHCOOH, have been studied after x irradiation at 65 K and warming to 300 K. The ESR has been shown to be the result of two stable end products. One product, Cl−(CH2)3ĊαHCOOH, results from cleavage of the Cα–N bond, a reaction common to all proline‐related molecules studied to date. The Cα–N cleavage reaction is analogous to the usual deamination reaction of other amino acids. The second product, not previously observed in proline‐related molecules, has been identified as the result of abstraction of the hydrogen bound to Cα. This product, Cl−H2+N(CH2)3ĊαCOOH, is characterized by four β‐proton couplings. Evidently, the second product results in some manner from a primary cationic product of the proline molecule. Notable about the case of dl‐proline⋅HCl is that the concentration of the second product is equal to, or greater than, that of the more common product.
Multiphoton dissociation of GeH4: Ultraviolet emission spectrum of GeH83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449306View Description Hide Description
The ultraviolet emission spectrum of GeH has been examined following the two photon‐initiated dissociation of germane (GeH4) at 248 nm. The most prominent peaks lying between ∼250 and 340 nm are tentatively assigned to B 2Σ(v ′=0)→X 2Π1/2,3/2 (v ′) transitions. From this premise, the vibrational constants for the X 2Π states have been estimated to be ω e =(1949±5) cm− 1, ω e x e =16.5±2.0 cm− 1, and ω e y e =(0.7±0.3) cm− 1. Also, the radiative lifetime of the lowest vibrational levels of the GeH A 2Δ state in transitions to ground has been measured to be 12±2 ns.
High resolution Raman spectra of the Fermi diad in crystalline CO2 at 6 K83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449307View Description Hide Description
High resolution Raman spectra of the Fermi diad ω1:2ω2 in crystalline CO2 at 6 K were obtained by means of a tandem interferometer‐spectrometer instrument. For the first time the two components of the factor group splitting of the Ω− hybrid level were perfectly resolved. The bandshape of the two overlapping components of the Ω+ state were obtained by means of polarization measurements. The very different residual bandwidths of these crystal modes are discussed in terms of decay processes involving the two‐phonon continuum and the isotopic impurity levels.
Reactive adsorption of H2CO on Ni(110) at 95 K83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449308View Description Hide Description
The reactions of H2CO on a clean Ni(110) surface have been studied by high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and temperature programmed reactionspectroscopy (TPRS). At 95 K, H2CO adsorbs reactively, producing CO(a), CH3O(a), H(a), and small amounts of paraformaldehyde. Upon thermal treatment the CH3O decomposes to CO(a) and hydrogen while the paraformaldehyde reacts to form a surface intermediate which subsequently decomposes to CO2(g) and H2(g) at 350 K. Coadsorbed D2 is not incorporated into the CH3O(a) suggesting the methoxy is formed via a disproportionation reaction. Mixed paraformaldehyde and solid H2CO multilayers are formed at high exposures.
Vibronic structure of MCD spectra. I. Non‐Condon effects in molecules with nondegenerate electronic states83(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.449309View Description Hide Description
A model is formulated for calculation of MCDspectra of molecules with nondegenerate electronic states. It takes into account differences between nuclear equilibrium configurations of the excited electronic states that are coupled by the magnetic field. These differences lead to the appearance of new (''non‐Condon'') terms in the expression for the term describing magnetic optical activity. It is shown that these terms have a strong effect on the vibrational structure of MCDspectra. They cause this structure to differ from the vibrational structure of the corresponding absorption spectra and can lead to sign changes within a single, isolated electronic manifold. It is argued that the experimental MCDspectra of planar aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives show clear signs of the presence of such non‐Condon effects.

When I was a child, my friends never believed me when I told them my long-haired, black, adorable cat named Scorpio (who we affectionately called Pio) used the toilet…everyday.
I remember when I was home alone one day and heard streaming water in the bathroom, so I peered in and saw him sitting on the toilet. Thinking, I was crazy, I dismissed it, until he did it again and again.
He would use the toilet everyday to urinate and use the cat pan for his other bathroom activities. He was a beautiful, unique creature and he died way too young at age two from an enlarged heart. I have never had another pet (cat or dog) that used the toilet again.
Perhaps, I should have tried a monkey.
This monkey in the video below not only uses the toilet but she uses the toilet paper, too. I wonder if she was taught or just did it on her own like my Pio. In any case, it's a must-see.

Midstate women are about to get a professional boost.
SheSays Central PA is a new organization devoted to empowering women in the workplace by educating them on how to craft their own personal brand, offering network opportunities, sharing job news and providing educational experiences.
The group - which is the first Pennsylvania chapter of international organization SheSays - has already held two free events in the midstate. The first was a lecture on how to brand yourself by Tracy Mason, senior director of public affairs at Nuclear Energy Institute in Washington D.C. The second was a presentation by writer/director Addie Manis, who screened her most recent film "Time Out of Mind" and also talked about her work as a visual effects producer for "Game of Thrones" and "Hunger Games."
The next event - "Decoding the Blogosphere" - is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. April 25 and will feature midstate bloggers Sara Bozich (who is also a PennLive columnist) and Katherine McAdoo talking about the how to's of bloggging: how to get started, spread the word, make money and engage readers. Held at JPL in Swatara Twp., the event is free to the public.
While SheSays PA now has more than 50 members, it all began with three friends and colleagues.
Julie Bancroft of Harrisburg had attended a lecture in California where Alessandra Lariu was the speaker. Lariu is the founder of SheSays, an organization devoted to empowering women in the workplace. Everything she said resonated with Bancroft.
"It was all about having a seat at the table," Bancroft recalled. When she returned home, she told her colleagues at kake Collaborative, a midstate marketing agency, all about SheSays. The three of them - Bancroft, Kerry Mullen of Susquehanna Twp. and Karen Roland of Hampden Twp.- decided to create their own chapter and petitioned SheSays for permission.
"Frankly, I'm shocked they allowed us to do it in Central PA," Bancroft said. "It's in major cities: Melbourne, Singapore, Chicago-"
"And then there's us," Mullen interrupted. "We do have Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Lancaster, York - the whole region. So we have bigger plans to expand, but we need to get this started [in Harrisburg.]"
The group is already pleased with the response, although it is always hoping to grow. "There's certainly appetite here because people wouldn't be coming if there wasn't," Mullen said.
SheSays Central PA also addresses a need of women in the creative industries.
"When you get further and further up [in the professional world] there are less and less women the further up you move," Mullen said. SheSays seeks to provide women the skills to help those numbers grow.
Part of that will be accomplished by mentoring younger women and students.
While an official mentoring program has yet to be unrolled - the group hopes to lay out more concrete plans about helping college students with crafting resumes and making the transition from student to employee by next spring - students are already reaping benefits of the organization by attending events.
"I learned a lot tonight," said Lauren Lightfoot, a junior at Boiling Springs High School, after the Addie Manis lecture. She had already said she planned to keep coming to SheSays events. "I'm hoping I will continue to learn."
One of Manis' key points had been the importance of networking and it was a message Lightfoot had taken to heart. "[Manis] talked about how everything is knowing people and, coming to these events, I'm meeting people."
When the mentorship program does begin, it will be more than just the hard skills of resume preparation. It will also be a chance for students to see what it really is like to be a woman in the workforce.
"I know as a college student I really didn't believe there were gender issues," Bancroft said. "I remember being a student and thinking 'I work hard, I'm creative, I've done a lot to put myself at the top.' I never imagined that being a woman would make my career different than my male counterparts, that it would be more of a struggle or that I would have to work harder and talk louder."
"It took me a good decade [after college] to realize that you have to work harder to be taken at the same level of seriousness for your talents and capabilities," Roland said. "I wish I had someone to tell me that."
That being said, SheSays Central PA is hesitant about labeling itself a feminist organization. "I think what's important is we're never turning men away," Bancroft said. "Men are an important part of a woman's career."
Roland seconded the opinion. "When I look back at how I got to where I got to in my career, it's because I had two amazing men who were critical leaders in my life," she said. "They took a chance on me, they pushed me further than I thought I could go. When I look back, that wasn't the majority [of men], unfortunately."
Men play a part in SheSays Central PA - in fact, the Addie Manis event had a largely male audience, many of who did not even know that it was a "women's event."
Male attendance at events is fine with Bancroft. "It's not like we don't want men to participate," she said. "But we have women presenting because I think it's important to give them that platform to show leadership in their community and their profession."
Joining SheSays Central PA is easy. Go online to www.weareshesays.com and enter you name and email and select CentralPA as your city in the Join Us form. There are no membership fees.
The local chapter is funded through sponsors, including PSECU, and helps put on events through donations - JPL, for instance, donated the use of its building for the blogging event April 25. The organization is still actively seeking sponsors to help fund future endeavors.

Public Finance, Dec.12th-18th 2003, p.28-30
Discusses trends in the market for residential care for older people. This is shrinking due to greater emphasis on supporting people at home through domiciliary services. However there may be increased demand in the future for residential care for people with dementia. Demand may also rise as the post-World War II baby boom generation moves towards age and infirmity. A strong increase in self-funding of care home places is also expected as the proportion of elderly house owners grows.
J. Williams, A. Netten and P. Ware
Personal Social Services Research Unit, 2003 (Discussion paper; 2012/3)
Describes the views of relatives, informal carers and residents on their experiences of home closures and how these could be better managed. Report is critical of councils, which need to set up systems to provide help and advice for residents and guidelines for homeowners. Councils should address any constraints on residents and their supporters in making decisions on relocation. Choice was found to be limited by lack of information on locally available services.
M. Riseborough and J. Porteus
Housing, Care and Support, vol.6, Nov.2003, p.22-28
Article begins by describing and defining extra care housing for older people. Goes on to consider staffing arrangements, ownership and measures to improve commissioning.
J. Williams and A. Netten
Personal Social Services Research Unit, 2003 (Discussion paper; 1861/2)
Report reviews local government guidelines and protocols for the closure of care homes for older people. There is currently no statutory guidance in England. Only two thirds of local authorities were found to have protocols, which varied in length and scope. Report calls for the rationalisation of roles and responsibilities within councils during home closures, and for national guidance on legal matters and on the role of the National Care Standards Commission.
P. Burstow
Claims that 22,233 elderly nursing home residents in England are kept under sedation without medical grounds. Prescriptions of antipsychotic drugs by GPs rose by 6.2% between 1999 and 2002 and more than two-thirds of practices missed the government's April 2002 milestone of establishing annual and six monthly reviews of the medication of people over 75. Concludes that care homes are using chemical cocktails to make residents easier to manage.

Survey found very high levels of satisfaction with Hartrigg Oaks. Residents valued the privacy, ready availability of help, independence, amenities and safety offered by the retirement village. The social life at Hartrigg Oaks, including the large number of resident-led interest groups, was valued. Most residents also praised the catering and other communal facilities. The pooled financial model, offering the option of fixed fees that would not rise even if they needed to move to the on-site care home also appealed to many residents. Most residents found Hartrigg Oaks "easy" or "very easy" to afford.

Liverpool: DLA, 2003
Recommends that annual announced inspections of care homes by the National Care Standards Commission be retained, but that annual unannounced inspections be scrapped. These should be replaced by targeted unannounced inspections made on the basis of complaints or tip-offs. The provision of feedback forms at the conclusion of all inspections should be made a legal requirement, and regulators should not be allowed to make complaints about matters not mentioned in feedback forms. Formal written reports should be produced only when there is significant adverse comment about a home. Finally, there should be continuity of inspectors responsible for given care homes.
S. Beckett
Guardian Society, 10th December 2003, p8
Article looks at Hartrigg Oaks housing development, north of York, an estate designed for the over-60s based on similar models that have been operating in the US since the 1970s. A continuing care retirement community, completed five years ago by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, the non-profit development consists of 152 one and two-bedroom bungalows and a 42-bed care home. What sets it apart is the way its care package is financed. Most accommodation schemes for the elderly operate on a 'fee for care' basis but at Hartrigg residents pay an annual 'community fee' into a fund that covers communal services and whatever care they may need in the future.

Syracuse Crunch goalie Cedrick Desjardins will not return to the team until next week at the earliest, Tampa Bay assistant general manager Julien BriseBois said Thursday.
Desjardins is with the Lightning because Mathieu Garon was hurt in a game against Pittsburgh on Monday.
The Crunch visits St. John's on Friday and Saturday. That leaves Syracuse in the hands of Riku Helenius, who has run hot and cold all season.
BriseBois was in Toronto on Wednesday and saw Helenuis get yanked after allowing four goals on seven shots. The Crunch lost 6-3 to extend its losing streak to four games.
"Riku is still a young goalie, and still working on getting better, as every player in the AHL is,'' BriseBois said. "Right now he has the net while Cedrick is up, and that's that.''
