Ion–Ion Recombination Total Cross Sections—Atomic Species53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674506View Description Hide Description
A multistate Landau–Zener method is set up for the calculation of atomic ion–ion mutual neutralization total cross sections. The results of the calculations are compared with experimental results for O++O−, N++O−, He++D−, He++H−, and H++H−. The energy range scanned depends on the system but varies between about 0.1 and 10 000 eV. The agreement between theory and experiment is usually within a factor of 2.
van der Waals Interactions in Multilayer Systems53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674507View Description Hide Description
The principles of the Lifshitz theory of van der Waals interaction are used to formulate and compute energies in multilayer systems. The full analysis including relativistic, temperature, and many‐body effects reveals a nonadditive long‐range interaction that is not predicted by earlier theories.
Dissociation Energy of NaO(g) and the Heat of Atomization of Na2O(g)53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674508View Description Hide Description
The vaporization of Na2O(c) has been studied mass spectrometrically. It was found that the vaporization yields primarily Na(g) and O2(g), with NaO(g) and Na2O(g) being minor vapor constituents. From equilibria involving Na2O(c), Na2O(g), Na(g), NaO(g), and O2(g), it was possible to measure and . These values yield and . The appearance potentials of NaO+ and Na2O+ were measured and found to be 6.5 ± 0.7 and 5.5 ± 0.5 eV, respectively. These appearance potentials are suggested to be close to the true ionization potentials of the molecules. Implications of these results regarding some recent beam experiments are briefly discussed.
Microwave Spectrum and Determination of the Ring Bending Potential Function of Trimethylene Selenide53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674509View Description Hide Description
The microwave spectrum of trimethylene selenide (TMSe) was measured in the region 7.3–32 GHz. The rotational constants for seven vibrational states of the ring bending mode for the most abundant isotopic species were determined. From the variation of the rotational constants with vibrational state a potential function was obtained for the ring bending vibration, . This potential function is in good agreement with that obtained from an analysis of the far ir spectrum,, and predicts a barrier height to the planar configuration of 383.1 ± 4 cm−1 as compared with 378.1 ± 4 cm−1 obtained from the far infrared. The equilibrium dihedral angle was calculated to be 29.5 ± 1°.
Fluorescence and Phosphorescence Produced by Electron–Ion Recombination in 3‐Methylpentane at 77°K53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674510View Description Hide Description
Spontaneous luminescence and photoinduced luminescence from γ‐irradiated 3‐methylpentane (3MP) at 77°K have been investigated. In addition to the previously reported band at 415 nm, a second band is observed in the emission spectrum at 230 nm and is assigned to 3 MP fluorescence. The presence of the latter band confirms the existence of 3MP+ ion centers in neat 3MP. Measurements of the decay of recombination luminescence induced by a brief pulse of light indicate lifetimes of ≤ 2 msec for the 230‐nm band and 4.4 sec for the 415‐nm band. The decay of the fluorescence sets an upper limit on the rate of the electron–positive hole recombination in 3MP and establishes that the long decay time of the 415‐nm band is intrinsic to the emission process itself. This phosphorescence is assigned to emission from the lowest triplet state of 3 MP
Inelastic Neutron Scattering from Solid Benzene53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674511View Description Hide Description
Neutron scattering spectra from polycrystalline benzene have been obtained at temperatures between 77 and 270°K. These measurements are compared to recent calculations of spectra using a lattice frequency distribution based on optically determined force constants. The results at different temperatures are discussed, and qualitative agreement between calculated and measured cross sections at lower temperatures is obtained.
Interfacial Energies of Monomolecular Films of Fatty Acids Deposited on Mica in Aqueous and Nonaqueous Media—the Strength of Hydrophobic Interactions53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674512View Description Hide Description
An investigation into the energy per unit area of interface formed between monomolecular layers of fatty acids adsorbed on a mica surface and polar and nonpolar liquids is described. The results are compared with values predicted from Young's relation, , where the represent interfacial energies between solid,liquid, and vapor phases, and is the contact angle. This relation is known to hold for systems in which the phases remain homogeneous right up to the interface. It is shown that for nonpolar liquids the predicted and measured values are the same, while for water an additional term amounting to 7.5 erg/cm2 of interface must be introduced in Young's relation to obtain equality. This additional energy has been associated with hydrophobic interactions and from model building a value of 213 cal/mol of water ordered at the interface is obtained. The results are in good agreement with values obtained by Frank and Evans. The experiments shed additional light on the action of urea on hydrophobic interactions. In a concentrated solution of urea , the predicted and measured values of the solid/liquid interfacial energy are again equal. This leveling effect can only be interpreted as showing that the liquid phase is homogeneous and suggests that urea causes a breakdown of the ordered structure of the water in the neighborhood of the hydrophobicinterface. This conclusion is consistent with current views of the denaturant action of urea on proteins and other biomolecules.
Temperature Dependence of the Li NMR Spectrum and Atomic Motion in LiNbO353(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674513View Description Hide Description
Electric quadrupole coupling constants and linewidths of the Li NMRspectrum of a single crystal of LiNbO3 were measured at temperatures between 24 and 680°C and are interpreted in terms of the motion of Li. The linear increase of the quadrupole coupling constant is unusual and is assumed to be due to the anisotropic vibration of Li. A simple expression for the temperature variation is derived which depends only on and , where is a mean square amplitude of vibration of Li, and is the crystal electric potential at a Li site. was computed by an ionic lattice summation. It is suggested that a linear increase of the quadrupole coupling constant is characteristic of a light atom that vibrates anisotropically.Analysis of the linewidth data, assuming that Li atoms diffuse, gives and .
Spin–Orbit and Crystal‐Field Parameters for the Ground Term of Nd3+ in CaWO453(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674514View Description Hide Description
A theoretical analysis is made of the ground term of Nd3+ in CaWO4 to determine the spin–orbit and ( point‐group symmetry) crystal‐field parameters for this term. The analysis is carried out by diagonalyzing the Hamiltonian in the ground term where is the parametrized effective spin–orbit interaction developed by one of the authors and is the usual crystal‐field interaction . Frequency and polarizationmeasurements are taken of the absorptions to the and multiplets and are compared with data found in the literature in order to establish the symmetry and energy of the ground term levels. By varying the spin–orbit and crystal‐field parameters, and , an identification of all 26 levels for the ground term is obtained with a standard deviation between theory and experiment of 4.33 cm−1. The empirical spin–orbit parameters and agree to within 2.5% of those predicted previously, and and for the ground state agree to within 0.2% and 1.9% of those reported, thus further establishing the meaningfulness of the crystal‐field parameters obtained. For the ground term of Nd3+ in Na‐compensated CaWO4 we find , and obtain theoretical values of and for the ground state. Theoretical values for all the ground term levels are also calculated, and and values for the , Nd3+ configuration of 876.9 and 327.4 cm−1, respectively, are obtained.
Positive Ion Scavenging in the Radiolysis of Liquid Chloroform53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674515View Description Hide Description
The effects of the positive ion scavengers NH3 and n‐C4H9OH, on the organic product yields in the radiolysis of liquid CHCl3 at 25°C were investigated. As the solute concentrations increase, the values for , and increase, and remain unchanged, and decreases. These results are consistent with a free radical mechanism for all the radiolysis products except CCl4. The decrease in indicates that CCl4 is formed by a secondary positive ion reaction. The concentration dependence of this decrease can be described by the expression where is the 100‐eV yield in the absence of a scavenger, and is an empirical parameter proportional to the reactivity of the solutes, and is the concentration of the scavenger in moles per liter. Values of were determined for each solute and compared to published values determined in cyclohexane. In chloroform, values for were 4–19 times larger than in cyclohexane suggesting that the solutes are more efficient in the alkyl halide than in the hydrocarbon. One mechanism accounting for this efficiency increase is the formation of anions by the free electrons in the alkyl halide. This anion formation increases the average lifetimes of the ions in the alkyl halide and hence the efficiencies of the scavengers. The increase in the 100‐eV yields of three of the products formed by the free radical mechanism indicates that the presence of a cation scavenger increases the radical yields. Thus, some of the charge neutralizations in pure CHCl3 do not produce radicals. This observation is in accord with the existence of the collisionally stabilized CHCl3 − anion in the irradiated solutions. It is suggested that this anion may be an intermediate in the formation of CCl4.
Symmetry Properties of the Kinetic Energy Matrix and Their Applications to Problems of Molecular Vibrations53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674516View Description Hide Description
In the present paper it is shown that G, the inverse of the kinetic energy matrix in the internal coordinates space, provides all the possible information on the symmetry of molecular vibrations. Namely, once the G matrix of a molecule is known, the point group of the molecule, the coordinates which provide a basis for a completely reduced representation of (symmetry coordinates), and the minimal set of independent force constants which must be chosen can be derived. Corresponding computer programs have been written which provide an automatic way for the factorization of the dynamical matrices of large and/or highly symmetrical molecules.
Vibrational Energy Distribution in the Dichloroethylene Photoelimination Chemical Lasers53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674517View Description Hide Description
The HCl laser emission caused by photolysis of the three dichloroethylenes has been examined in detail. All three emit in 3 → 2, 2 → 1, and 1 → 0 vibrational transitions, and 1,1‐dichloroethylene also emits in the 4 → 3 transition. The highest‐gain transition at 15°C is for 1,1‐dichloroethylene, for cis‐1,2‐dichloroethylene, and for trans‐1,2‐dichloroethylene (100 torr total pressure with 200 to 1 ratio of argon to dichloroethylene). Equal‐gain temperature measurements give population ratios for the 1,1 isomer, for the cis‐1,2 isomer, and for the trans‐1,2 isomer. These ratios are all below unity, as was found in the chemically activated trifluoroethane HF elimination laser. Further, the data show that the HCl vibrational mode is decreasingly significant in the sequence 1,1 > cis‐1,2 > trans‐1,2. The results might be attributable, in part, to competition between and elimination. Even so, the differing HCl excitation may indicate, by microscopic reversibility, a stereospecific influence of HCl vibration in the reverse, addition reaction between HCl and chloroacetylene.
Optical Spectra Line‐Shape Representations and Broad Bands in Solids53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674518View Description Hide Description
Three methods of analyzing the temperature‐dependent optical spectraline shape of a defect center are presented: a representation consisting of a convergent series of n‐phonon distributions, a Fourier transform representation, and the moments of line shape. For each of these the calculations proceed from a one‐phonon distribution, , which is proportional to the probability of a phonon of energy being excited. The deriving model is that used for a configurational coordinate model with a removal of the limitation to a single one‐phonon energy. Detailed comparisons are made between phonon‐broadened line shapes for a defect center coupling to a distribution of phonon energies and CC model parameterizations of the line shapes. Results are that the CC model parameterizes very well the entire line shape for centers with a large Huang–Rhys factor and the high‐energy tail of narrow bands. Parameterization of the smooth tails of bands aids in the separation of overlapping bands. However, the CC parameters ( and effective phonon energy) are not precisely the quantities implied by the CC model.
Direct Observation of Electron Disappearance in Pulse Irradiated Fluorocarbon Gases53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674519View Description Hide Description
A microwave conductivity detector has been used to follow electron disappearance in pulse irradiated fluorocarbon gases. A discussion of the application of the method to compounds of widely differing electron attachment rate constants and a number of experimental details is given. Eleven simple fluorocarbons, CH2Cl2, and SF6 were studied. Because (except for SF6) these compounds were relatively unreactive, considerable effort was expended upon purification. In many cases the rate of electron attachment found for the purified sample was orders of magnitude less than for the unpurified one. In the homologous series from CF4 to n‐C4F10 only the latter was found to attach electrons at an appreciable rate . Significantly, CF4 and C2F6 were found to have rate constants < 10−16 cm3 molecule−1·sec−1. The attachment rates of the compounds CH2F2, CHF3, CClF3, and CH3CF3 are all comparable; those of the last three are nearly identical (4 − 5 × 10−14 cm3 molecule−1·sec−1) suggesting the involvement of the CF3 group. The electron attachment rate constant for SF6 was determined to be 2.2 × 10−7 cm3 molecule−1·sec−1.
Collisional De‐excitation of the Thallium State53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674520View Description Hide Description
The collisional de‐excitation cross sections of the metastable state of thallium have been measured for the following atoms and molecules: He, Ne, Ar, TlI, TlBr, TlCl, O2, NO, H2, CO, CH4, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, CO2, and N2. Metastable thallium was produced in a quartz cell by photodissociating thallium halide vapor with a pulse of ultraviolet radiation. The density of the metastable thallium decays due to collisions with the gas added to the cell. The decay is exponential with a time constant governed by the density of the added gas. The lifetime of the metastable state was measured by monitoring the absorption of the thallium 5350 Å line from a beam of resonance radiation passing through the cell. Since the density of the added gas is known, the cross section can be computed from the measured lifetime. Our results are accurate to about 15%.
dc and Pulsed Electroluminescence in Anthracene and Doped Anthracene Crystals53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674521View Description Hide Description
The current–voltage characteristics of anthracene crystals have been studied under dc and pulsed conditions in the temperature range 350–100°K. The crystals are provided with contact combinations consisting of an electron injecting contact together with either a hole injecting contact or an individually blocking contact. Intense electroluminescence is observed from all contact combinations, and at high crystal currents, ∼ 10−6 A cm−2, each combination shows similar steady‐state characteristics. Pulsed measurements illustrate that different mechanisms for hole injection are involved, at high and low current densities, and a possible mechanism for enhanced hole injection under high electron current densities is discussed. The spectral distribution of the electroluminescence is found to be independent of contact material, but does depend upon crystal preparation.
Electron‐Diffraction Investigation of the Molecular Structure of Trifluoramine Oxide, F3NO53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674522View Description Hide Description
The molecular structure of trifluoramine oxide has been investigated by gaseous electron diffraction at a nozzle temperature of 20°C. The results verify the expected symmetry for the molecule. The N–F bond is slightly longer than the sum of the single‐bond radii corrected for electronegativity difference, but the N–O bond is very much shorter and must be regarded as essentially a double bond. The bond angles are not in themselves unusual. However, the positions of the four ligands correspond with remarkable accuracy to the corners of a regular tetrahedron, a fact which strongly emphasizes the importance of nonbonded interactions. The five covalent bonds formed by the nitrogen atom may be understood in terms of a system of four bonds comprising hybrids and a bond obtained by utilizing an empty or nitrogen orbital with a filled oxygen orbital. The electron‐diffraction analysis led to the following values for the principal parameters: , and . The distances and amplitudes are and values; the parenthesized quantities are . When the rotational constant from microwave spectroscopy is taken as a constraint on the diffraction results, the following set of distance and angle values, which differ only very slightly from those above, is obtained: , and .
Reactions of C+ Ions with Some Methyl Halides53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674523View Description Hide Description
The reactions of C+ in the ground state with the methyl halides (CH3X) were studied in the 2–200‐eV energy region using a tandem mass spectrometer. The cross sections as a function of ion kinetic energy were measured and used to infer reaction mechanism. Hydride ion, halide ion, carbanion as well as halogen atom and CH3 pickup were dominant reactions at low energy. At higher energies dissociative anion pickup was an important mechanism for the formation of ions containing one carbon atom. The polarizability of the C–X bond and the energetics of the process appeared to be the most important factors dictating the course of the reaction.
Orientation Dependence in Triplet–Triplet Energy Transfer: Analysis of Magnetophotoselection Experiments53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674524View Description Hide Description
We have examined theoretically and experimentally triplet–triplet energy transfer for several different donor–acceptor pairs dissolved in low‐temperature glasses in order to determine if there is some observable preferred mutual orientation for energy transfer, especially at large intermolecular distances. In particular, we have analyzed experiments that used magnetophotoselection techniques. Our results substantially support earlier findings that indicated the absence of observable orientation effects. In analyzing our experiments, we find that for any given system a large fraction of the donor molecules will transfer efficiently and will exhibit little in the way of orientation effects unless delta‐function‐type orientation dependences exist. Even at low acceptor concentrations, these molecules represent a significant portion of all molecules that transfer and their presence will tend to minimize experimentally observable effects.
Photodissociation of HNCO in the Vacuum Ultraviolet; Production of and53(1970); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1674525View Description Hide Description
Strong emission bands originating from and were found in the photodissociation of HNCO in the vacuum ultraviolet. In addition, weak bands coming from were observed. Threshold energies of incident photons to produce these bands were measured, from which the following bonddissociation energies and heats of formation were obtained: . The emission spectrum,, produced from the photolysis at the Xe and Kr lines shows that is highly excited in bending vibration, indicating that the upper state of HNCO from which predissociates has a bent NCO configuration. formed is highly rotationally excited. Experimental evidence is presented to show that is produced primarily by a secondary process, . Primary processes in the near‐ultraviolet photolysis of HNCO are discussed on the basis of bonddissociation energies obtained in the present work.

I was talking with my friend Mike Bockman, a militaria dealer and owner of BBmilitaria, when we got on the subject of the Niobrara River that runs across the Northern part of Nebraska. I had canoed this river several times in Boy Scouts and Mike had canoed it with his family when he was young.
I was fascinated to hear that Mike obtained his first military collectible while canoeing the Niobrara when he was around seven years old. His family had stopped to picnic on the grounds of Fort Niobrara, an Army outpost established in 1879 to monitor the Sioux Indians. The fort was eventually abandoned in 1906 and little of it remains today.
While Mike was sitting at a picnic table on the fort grounds, he noticed a metal object in the dirt. It was an 1880-90's Army Enlisted uniform button. Indian war era uniform buttons are not valuable. In fact, you can find them with little difficulty on the web for about $5.00, but what is significant about Mike's button is that it is an artifact directly attributed to a time and a place. The button is a reminder that Nebraska and its people have changed since the time that button was worn on a uniform.
There is no doubt Mike held that button in his hand and thought about the soldier who wore it. Did this soldier have to skirmish with the Sioux that strayed off the reservation to harm settlers and steal horses and cattle? Did this soldier struggle to stay warm within the adobe walls of the fort during the deadly winters?
A discarded uniform button opened Mike's mind to history and collecting. Many of Mike's friendships and his livelihood as a militaria dealer are the result of him finding this now priceless button on the ground.

That is a nice high relief of an early Great Seal of the United States just before it was redesigned by Bailey, Banks and Biddle in 1888 to the strong eagle version we see today. The legs are a dead giveaway because they still show a bit of the bent leg that came from the original Great Seal eagle of 1782. The top of the shield is escalloped rather than being straight across as the Great Seal is, but still a very nice 19c example.

Updated: The power has been restored to the administration buildings and the sign, officials say.
GEDDES, N.Y. -- Lightning struck a power line between Gates 2 and 3 at the New York State Fair this morning, according to a fair spokesman.
As of 10:30 a.m., buildings have power except for two administration buildings, spokesman Joe Morrissey said. The marquee is also without power. Crews are on their way for repairs, he said.
No injuries had been reported as of 10:30 a.m., Morrissey said.
Power was temporarily out in other parts of the fair, including the Dairy Building and the Empire Room just before Gov. Andrew Cuomo held a press conference.

( #EndersGame )
I finished reading the 2nd book in the "Bean Series" of the "Ender Saga" the other night and I wanted to get my thoughts down before getting too wrapped up in the third book. "Shadow of the Hegemon" takes places a few months after the conclusion of "Ender's Shadow". All of the military school graduates (except Ender) are back on Earth and seem to be struggling going back to their "normal lives".
The villain from the last book, Achilles, somehow gets involved with Russia and starts kidnapping all of the battle school graduates. Ender's crew become the most sought-after and are either kidnapped, co-opted, or re-kidnapped into serving various nations. Bean, being known as the smartest graduate to return, is targeted for death since Achilles convinces the other nations he won't work with them. Of course Bean figures this out and gets himself and his family to safety. He knows all of this power-grabbing will start with war and end with a unified world government, but the main plot is what country will take total control. Bean is fairly indifferent, but when his best friend Petra is kidnapped by Achilles and is forced into becoming the main strategist of his plans, Bean establishes opposing forces to save her.
All of the children have issues being accepted by their adult peers after their service in the Formic Wars. Card repeats the scenario of "adult gets in kid's way, kid finds a way around adult, makes adult look foolish." This happens with almost every main character several times. Unlike the last book, Card's politics and preferences leak out in little ways throughout the book. Card's obsession with Brazil and China are re-established and he makes a few jabs about Kennedy's presidency. Thematically, this book is very different from "Ender's Shadow" and "Ender's Game", it is more political and spends little time on space and "advanced technology". Once again, Card leaves plot points on the table to continue the series, even though there was no good reason except to keep the books going (kind of like why Batman never kills the Joker even though he keeps killing thousands of people every time he gets out of jail).
Overall this book was a much better follow-up than "Speaker for the Dead" was for "Ender's Game". Card continues his story with familiar characters that you want to read about and manages to keep obvious personal opinions to a minimum.

High School Season Rewind: Midwest Region (June 6)

Top 10
Player of the Year
Zach Powers, Upper Arlington (Ohio), Sr. D
Powers, a senior defenseman, picked up Player of the Year honors from the Ohio High School Lacrosse Association and the Midwest Scholastic Lacrosse Coaches Association this season. He also repeated as the OHSLA's Defender of the Year and helped lead Upper Arlington to a state championship.
Powers picked up 64 ground balls and had 47 takeaways. Many opposing teams simply avoided coming anywhere near Powers when they were on offense. "He is big and athletic and just doesn't let his attackman be a major factor," the coach said.
Powers will play at North Carolina next year.
Spotlight On...
For six years, Loyola Academy (Ill.) had ended its season with a loss in the Illinois state championship game to New Trier (Ill.), its archrival. Coming that close to the trophy and then watching its biggest rival carry it off the field time after time started to wear on the Ramblers.
Loyola thought it was in position to break the streak last year. It beat New Trier in the regular season and entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed. But the Trevians were ready for a rematch in the title game and won 9-2.
"We felt like we were going to win it all," goalie Kevin Steger said. "We had all confidence in the world. To lose was very, very difficult."
The Ramblers would use the motivation from that loss — and the five before it — this year. Most of the team was coming back and they were determined to put an end to the streak this season. And on Saturday, they did just that. Loyola beat Lake Forest (Ill.) 6-4 for its first state championship since 2004.
Coach Rob Snyder, who has been at Loyola for all the losses, said it was great to finally come out on top.
"It was awesome for our kids," he said. "We have a bunch of guys who were four-year guys and a bunch of three-year guys as well. It was nice to see those guys go out winning as a senior class."
Loyola was once again the top team in Illinois entering the tournament. The Ramblers were 12-0 against in-state competition but had lost four of their last seven games to end the regular season. All four losses were against tough competition, but Loyola got a big wakeup call in the first round of the North American Lacrosse Invitational just a week before the start of the state tournament. Brother Rice, the top-ranked team in Michigan, delivered a 15-3 beating in what was, by far, Loyola's worst loss of the season.
"The Brother Rice game was the biggest reality check," junior midfielder Charlie Schatz said. "They smoked us. They came out and straight up killed us. We knew we needed to work harder to win the [state] championship."
While Loyola lost in overtime the next day to Hill Academy, a Canadian power, Snyder said he could already see the difference in his team.
The Ramblers returned to Illinois and won three games in a row to return to the state championship game for the seventh year in a row. Only this time, it wasn't New Trier waiting for them. The Trevians were ousted in the quarterfinals, ending their run of dominance.
Instead it was Lake Forest who also made the title game. Loyola had won the two teams' regular season meeting 7-3 and quickly found itself in another tight game with much more on the line.
The Ramblers took an early lead with two goals in the game's first 77 seconds. But the Scouts tied the score at two at the end of the first quarter. After Lake Forest's second goal, Steger gathered the defense in the crease.
"Relax, our offense has our back, we just can't let any more easy goals in," Steger told his teammates.
Loyola scored the next three goals to open a comfortable lead in the third quarter. From there, it held Lake Forest at bay, a task Snyder said was made easier thanks to Schatz's ability to win face offs and good team defense.
"The defense played really well all year," Snyder said. "That was a big thing for us."
Led by Steger, the defense came up big one more time late in the fourth quarter. With the Scouts down two, Steger knew they would have a last push left in them. When he made his 11th and final save of the game — the one that clinched the victory — Steger allowed himself to exhale and take it all in.
"The last four years flashed before my eyes, all the hard work," Steger said. "To end my high school career like that was unreal. It was one of the best feelings in the world."

Winterhawks defenseman Layne Viveiros' dad, Emanuel Viveiros, typically calls after Portland's games.
After the Hawks won 6-4 at Prince George on Tuesday night, Layne might have wanted to call his dad.
Emanuel Viveiros coaches the Austrian men's ice hockey team competing at the Sochi Olympics. Austria lost overnight, 8-4 to Finland, in its first Olympic competition since 2002.
Before the game, Layne Viveiros talked about Austria's chances in the tough B group, contending with Finland, which has medaled in five of the last seven Olympic tournaments, Canada, which won the gold medal in a thriller in Vancouver four years ago, and Norway, which lost 3-1 to the Canadians in its first game in Sochi.
Father and son have stayed in touch since the Olympic flame was lit Feb. 7. The two had spoken once as of Tuesday, and Emanuel Viveiros has texted messages and photos.
"It looks like they're having a lot of fun," Layne Viveiros said by phone from Prince George before the Hawks' win on Tuesday, which clinched a playoff spot. Since the men's hockey tournament began at nearly the same time, "I'm not sure when I'll talk to him next."
Emanuel Viveiros has a long history with Austria. Born in Alberta, he played in the Western Hockey League and in the American Hockey League on a team that won the Calder Cup and in the NHL for what was then the Minnesota North Stars and later, for teams in Italy and Germany.
In the early 1990s, the defenseman signed with a team in Austria, where he won national championships in 2001 and 2004. Obtaining Austrian citizenship, he played for the Austrian national team in 2005 and became its coach in 2011.
As a little boy, Layne Viveiros spent a lot of time in Austria.
"I was born in August. In September, my parents would put me on the plane to Austria, and we'd be there for hockey season, September through April," he said. "Then, back to Alberta."
Layne Viveiros is a dual citizen of Austria and Canada, and he speaks fluent German, to go with his unaccented English, as a result.
He said that he's seen a lot of social media traffic about Sochi shortcomings with hotels and other accommodations, but his dad? "He hasn't complained."
When a stripe is not a stripe: Nike created the hockey sweater for Slovakia, and it takes at least one cue from one of Nike's designs for the Oregon Ducks baseball uniforms.
Both are kind of awesome.
The Slovakian jersey has what looks like stripes. Upon closer, almost microscopic inspection, the stripe actually is text. More specifically, its the words to the country's national anthem. The script is lovely. Credit Deadspin for pointing this out.
Nike tried this out with one of Oregon's baseball jerseys, where the stripe is the Ducks' fight song.

The PCs bring down the provincial budget Tuesday with a projected $1-billion deficit. — Telegram file photo
A $1-billion hole in Newfoundland and Labrador's finances means the oil-rich province is staring down a deficit in Tuesday's budget after years of hefty surpluses.
"We knew our revenues were going to be down about $1 billion," Finance Minister Tom Marshall said in an interview. "The Atlantic Accord is over. Our equalization is over."
And oil production will drop over the next year because of refits affecting two of the three offshore sites that helped catapult the province to "have" status in Confederation, he said. "As a result of that, we have to ensure that our rate of spending growth is curtailed in order to ensure that our spending in the future is sustainable."
Marshall said the province has racked up surpluses in six of the last seven years except for 2009-10 when it went $32.6 million into the red to shake off effects of the global recession and a drop in oil prices.
He has forecast deficits of about $400 million for this fiscal year and $211 million in 2013-14, with a predicted return to the black the next year as higher oil royalties kick in.
Much of the shortfall, on top of oil production losses, comes from the end of Atlantic Accord payments.
Cash from Ottawa under the joint offshore management program put about $536 million in provincial coffers last year.
But the most updated predictions to be revealed in Tuesday's budget will be affected by the going rates for oil and mineral shipments, twin drivers of the provincial economy.
Independent experts consulted for last year's budget pegged the average price of oil at US$108 a barrel. On Friday, the price of Brent crude was reported at almost $119 a barrel.
The province relies on offshore oil earnings for about one-third of its revenues, prompting calls from some quarters for faster reduction of about $7.8 billion in net debt before those fields dry up.
Progressive Conservative Premier Kathy Dunderdale has already signalled the province's big-spending days are over for now. In a speech to the St. John's Board of Trade earlier this year, and in a subsequent throne speech, fiscal restraint was a major theme.
"There are forces that would drive us right back to the era of decline that we have worked so hard and so effectively to leave behind," she told the board in January. "This will be a pivotal time in our province's history, and we must be vigilant to ensure we make the right choices."
Marshall stressed that net debt is down by about one-third from a high of $12 billion and the province has received an A-plus credit rating from Standard & Poor's, an international independent credit assessor.
Still, per capita net debt of about $15,000 per person is among the highest in Canada — something Dunderdale has vowed to bring down to the national average within 10 years. And provincial unemployment is stubbornly high in struggling fishing outports where oil wealth isn't apparent.
The startling growth of unfunded pension liabilities is another issue Marshall has openly discussed. He began pre-budget consultations this year by asking for feedback on whether defined-benefit pension plans for public servants are sustainable.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
A nice design, good software and a great camera make this a very good pick if you're seeking a phone with a bit more but don't want to carry around a full PDA.
The Nokia 7610 is a nice looking phone, with unconventional curves and a white and grey styling that will appeal to many phone connoisseurs. It has a very prominent screen, capable of 176 x 208 display and very passable audio quality.
The number pad is a little compact for our liking, with buttons that appear to be more designed for style than function. They're not square, but thin and curved, which takes some getting used to. The directional keypad, used for navigating through Symbian OS 7.0s Series 60 operating system, was a little stiff, and we constantly found the cursor going in unwanted directions.
The OS itself is colourful and fun, packed with features and designed for usability. We've always found that getting stuff done in Symbian OS was fast, easy and intuitive, and the 7610 is no exception. It has a media player that supports, among other things, MP3 audio and MPEG-4 video, a calendar, contacts, games, XHTML browser and messaging and email. Symbian OS also supports Java. The accompanying PC synching software, Nokia PC Suite, is also quite decent.
The phone only has 8MB of internal memory, but also comes with a 64MB Reduced Size MMC--which can be upgraded if you need extra storage space. Given the high quality of the camera in the phone, you might very well need it.
Perhaps the 7610's biggest appeal is its camera. No more 640 x 480 shots with this phone. The camera in the 7610 is capable of 1 megapixel shots, resolutions up to 1152 x 864, making it comparable with the Sony Ericsson S700 and other advanced camera phones. They were decent quality shots, too, and there was no delay when taking photos (although there is a rather nasty delay when saving photos). They weren't equivalent in quality to shots from a real camera, of course, but good nonetheless. The phone, fortunately, will automatically resize photos that are larger than 100KB in order to squeeze them down to the maximum size supported by MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). It also has a night camera mode and even some rudimentary software for combining captured video clips for sending over MMS.
In some aspects of its design, Nokia has favoured form over function, but overall the 7610 is a fun phone, with a great camera, good software and USB and Bluetooth connectivity.

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.

Both schools will re-open as Horizon Christian Academy. Imagine recently lost its charter with Ball State, citing poor academic performance.

Paul Rex Balfour Kitchen FRACS
28 December 1942 - 27 December 2011
General Surgeon
Mr Paul R.B.Kitchen, FRACS, died on 27 December, 2011 at 69
years of age, three months after diagnosis of a malignant brain
He had been in practice as a General and Breast Surgeon in
Melbourne since 1976, and from 1986 as Senior Lecturer in the
Melbourne University Department of Surgery at St. Vincent's
Hospital. He graduated in Medicine with honours in 1966 from
Melbourne University, followed by residency and surgical training
at Royal Melbourne Hospital, obtaining FRACS in 1971.
In 1972 he was given the task of developing the Intensive Care
Unit at RMH, including design, equipment, protocols of treatment,
staffing, and training program, and was the first medical
supervisor of this unit.
In June 1972, with his wife Merrill and family, he moved to
Scotland to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary as Registrar in the
Professorial Surgical Unit, then in 1973 was Senior Surgical
Registrar at Inverness for twelve months.
For two years, from late 1973-1975 he worked as Consultant
Surgeon at the Nazareth Hospital, Israel, which had been
established by the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society in 1861.
This included a period of surgical work at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in
Gaza. He developed an interest in the historical geography of
Israel, and acquired proficiency in Arabic to communicate with the
patients and staff of the hospital.
On returning to Melbourne in late 1975 he was appointed as
Assistant Surgeon at RMH, and helped establish the Breast Clinic.
He commenced private surgical practice at Diamond Valley Community
Hospital with friend and colleague Mr. Bill Ramsay. In the
following years he made several visits to Nazareth to do surgical
locums, enjoyed travelling to Europe, USA and UK including visits
to centres of renowned surgeons in Breast Cancer - Milan (Veronesi,
Bonnadonna), Pittsburgh (B Fisher), Edinburgh (P.Forrest),
Guildford (P.Boulter), Nottingham (R.Blamey).
From 1981 to 1985 he was Assistant Surgeon at Queen Victoria
Medical Centre, and helped set up the Breast Clinic.
In 1986, at the invitation of Professor Richard Bennett, he
transferred to St. Vincent's Hospital University Department of
Surgery, and helped set up the Breast Clinic, starting a database
for all new patients, which has been used for many research
projects and reports.
Paul was a foundation member of the Adjuvant Trials'
Subcommittee and the Breast Study Committee of the Victorian
Co-operative Oncology Group, Anti-Cancer Council of Victoria, which
involved initiating collaborative clinical trials in the major
Melbourne hospitals and other world centres. He was St. Vincent's

at SVH.
In 1985 he visited Dr. George Karydakis in Athens, to discuss
his approach to Pilonidal Sinus surgery, having met him and seen
him operate in London in 1973. Paul had published an article on
this operation in ANZJS in 1981, and was accumulating an extensive
practice in PNS surgery, including difficult and recurrent cases
referred from other surgeons. In 1996 his article in the British
Journal of Surgery described his experience with a very low
recurrence rate. In 2005 he produced a DVD of the modified
operation. His 'Perspectives' article in ANZJS Jan/Feb. 2009
provided a review of more recent modifications of the operation. By
the end of 2009 he had treated 497 patients, with 23% of these
being referred with recurrent PNS after treatment elsewhere.
His publications and research interests in Breast Cancer were
numerous, including cytology, adjuvant therapy, prognostic markers,
hormone receptor assay, small invasive cancers, survey of early
breast cancer management, breast screening, ductal carcinoma in
situ, tubular carcinoma, excision margins, and extensive in situ
He presented papers, and posters, at RACS conferences, and other

He ceased private practice November 2009 after 34 years based in
Greensborough, providing general surgical services to the people of
the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
In 1980 Paul and Merrill started a group in Melbourne to support
the work of the Nazareth Hospital and named it 'Friends of
Nazareth'. With Paul as Chairman, this attracted many people,
including those of Arabic/Palestinian background.
Paul and Merrill organised and led 9 work parties of volunteers,
usually 30-38 people, to Northern Israel from 1987 to 2009, to
assist with painting and maintenance of the Nazareth Hospital, and
the Mar Elias Educational Institutions at Ibillin. Paul also did
surgical work in the hospital to provide respite or holiday for
their surgeons. The teams also visited other significant sites in
Israel, with Paul and Merrill giving informative commentaries on
the Biblical history and geography. In total 257 people went on
these teams, all appreciating Paul's leadership, planning, energy,
enthusiasm, humour and his strong Christian faith.
Paul had a great talent for music, playing piano and organ, and
was regularly involved as organist for church services in
Melbourne, and on occasions training and leading choirs. He was
also involved in leadership roles in church and the Christian
Medical Fellowship.
In 1991 Paul began part-time study in Theology and in April 2003
graduated as Master of Arts through Melbourne College of Divinity.
His Thesis was titled 'Experiential Learning and Reflective

Sleep less: Fantastic four
Is four hours of sleep enough? A new scientific study, and the wisdom of ancient yogis, indicates it just could be.
Divya Mattoo, 32, works almost 10 hours every day as an IT consultant in Gurgaon. Despite her taxing work schedule, she also manages to fit in an hour of brisk walking, a couple of hours of television viewing and reading in her day. She is always active with a spring in her step and twinkle in her eye. And she never sleeps for more than five hours a day.
Lalit Sharma, 37, a business editor based in Mumbai chooses to sleep for just four hours a day because "there's so much to do". "Read, write, watch, photograph, work out, talk - 24 hours are nearly not enough for all this. The easy and obvious sacrifice to make is of sleep, " says Sharma who still manages to stay alert at work.
Mattoo and Sharma are not just plain lucky. A variety of factors come together to make them do with fewer than recommended - and desperately needed by most - eight hours of sleep. Says Dr PP Bose, a sleep physician based in Delhi, "What time you go to bed, exercise, diet, stress level and to a certain degree your genetic predisposition determine how long and how well you sleep. " However, a recent study indicates that your genes might just be more at play in deciding your sleep hygiene.
A Europe-based study, conducted on 4, 000 people from seven different countries, found that people who slept for just four hours a day had two copies of one common variant of gene ABCC9. Interestingly, this gene has also been linked to diabetes and heart disease.
"So apparently the relationships of sleep duration with metabolic syndrome symptoms can, in part, be explained by an underlying common molecular mechanism, " says Dr Karla V Allebrandt, first author on the study, on a science news website. In simpler words, there could be a connection between high levels of insulin, blood pressure, cholesterol, abdominal obesity and sleep. But what exactly is this connection is still unknown.
What is implicit, though, is that people who sleep less succeed in doing much more in a day. Late Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of the UK, famously used to function well with just four hours of shut eye. So could Napolean Bonaparte, and ancient Indian yogis. How do they manage with less sleep?
Since the jury is still out on this question, modern science maintains that eight hours sleep is required for healthy functioning of the body and mind. However, according to Patanjali's Yoga Sutra a person can lead a healthy life with just four hours of dreamless sleep called sushupti. Dr Subhash Kak, head of computer science department at Oklahoma State University who has also studied the Vedas and other Hindu texts, says, "Sushupti provides real rest. But this does not mean that the yogis knew they could do with little sleep, which was possibly due to their genes. The Yoga Sutra and other yogic texts speak of amazing degree of control the practitioner can obtain over his involuntary nervous system."
The trick to get undisturbed sleep in the long term lies in leading a healthy life with certain amount of discipline. "Eat healthy, which means more of fruits and vegetables. You should have your dinner at least three hours before you sleep. Curtailing the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, regular exercise and doing mind relaxation activities, like yoga and meditation, can help you get the maximum rest from minimum number of hours, " says Dr Subhash Manchanda, a consultant cardiologist based in Delhi who has done research on reversal of heart disease by meditation, diet and exercise. He, too, sleeps for just four-five hours a day and gives credit for his stamina and energy to the daily practice of yoga and meditation.
In the short term, taming your sleep is a matter of right timing, say yogis. If you wake up between 4am and 6am, a phase known as amrit bela, you will feel full-o-beans through the day even if you had just four to five hours of sleep. "Your body is the most rested and relaxed at this time, " says Manchanda. "A probable reason why yoga recommends early-to-bed-early-to-rise schedule could be the lack of bright light at nights in the days Yoga Sutra was written. However, our body clock was set when our forefathers lived in caves. Growth hormone in our body gets secreted before dawn and the secretion of serotonin, the antidepressant hormone, is regulated by sunlight, " explains Dr Yash Welanker, faculty member at Madhavbaug Ayurved Cardiac Rehab Centre, Mumbai.
After 6am, the blood pressure starts to rise and levels of cortisol, which releases blood sugar, also peak. Perhaps a reason, say doctors and scientists, why the maximum number of heart attacks and strokes are reported between 6am and 10am. It's not easy for everyone to wake up early. What is easy, though, for all is to identify one's body clock and respect it. Even if it means pressing the snooze button way too often.

My wife & I are regular with our pranayama & meditation & adhere to most of the things this article talks about. For the last three years my wife has turned vegetarian & one can see the difference that satwik food has done to her. My own consumption has gone healthy; the result of which is evident
So long as one lives with positve attitude for 20 hours a day tuning oneself to a cool, tension less life, I think four hours physical rest should be good enough. Working with a sense of duty, enjoying it to the core without bothering about results will lead to tension less life.

About the lines on Burgher Avenue: What can you expect from the administration of Czar Michael Bloomberg?
I listed his actions before the election. So let's review: Higher taxes; higher water bills every year; increased sales taxes; real estate taxes out of sight; an unsuccessful terrorist attack in Times Square — while he didn't bother to return from his weekend getaway — school closings; firehouse closings; no building at the WTC site.
Speaking of the Department of Transportation and Commissar Janette Sadik-Khan: Streets are falling apart in a month or two because of cheap asphalt DOT uses. Lines are painted on milled streets then repainted in a "drunken" manner only to have straight lines painted on top of them.
What can you expect from this duo, who only care about red lights, duplicitous bike lanes, and putting cheap chairs, tables and umbrellas on streets for the rich of Manhattan to use?
Czar Mike also is obsessed about salt, sugar, congestion-pricing, cameras to spy on all of us and forcing others to do as he says (while he lolls in England or Bermuda as we mere peons are facing terrorists' bombs). To all you sheep who voted for this loser: Are you happy now?

The club is a great way for parents and SCC alumni to come together over a mutual love of football and to talk about their interest in the sport while sharing good food and getting the opportunity to listen to nationally-renowned guest speakers.
Students at SCC are encouraged to register for World Youth Day Oct. 27 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. This huge event allows young people from each diocese to come together in praise and worship. World Youth Day does have its solemn moments, but there are also many energetic keynote speakers and funny skits put on by teens themselves. SCC had a great turnout for World Youth Day last year.

The IHOP in the 1500 block of Lehigh Street in Allentown was the site of a robbery some time before 8:15 p.m. today, according to emergency radio reports.
The suspect, a blond, white male in black and yellow pajama pants, allegedly fled the scene after the incident in a two-tone Ford long-bed pickup truck, according to radio reports. His truck may have had New Jersey plates.
He fled northbound on Lehigh Street toward Center City Allentown, according to the emergency radio.
It is unclear if he had a weapon, according to the reports. Police say he had his hands in his pockets and a weapon was "implied," according to radio reports.

LANSING, Mich. — A group that supports allowing gun owners to carry concealed guns without permits anywhere they choose is planning a gun-carrying rally outside the state Capitol.
Saturday's event aims to encourage Michigan to join a handful of other "constitutional carry" states where laws generally do not restrict how or where a gun is carried or require a concealed weapon license.
Vermont, Alaska, Arizona and Wyoming have similar laws.
The Citizens League for Self Defense, which is organizing the rally, says it wants Michigan to become the nation's fifth "constitutional carry" state.

With help, mint plant may soon be coming up roses
A Hawaiian mint, found only in the oheo forests of Molokai and with fewer than 10 mature plants left in the wild, will be receiving some extra help as it struggles back from the brink of extinction.
Late last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced an addendum to the plan to recover the endangered phyllostegia hispida. The plant with no local name will be added to the existing Moloka'i Plant Cluster Recovery Plan because its habitat, threats and recovery actions are similar or identical to those for other species in the cluster recovery plan, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service news release said.
The action basically groups a cluster of endangered plants that share a same geography on Molokai together for protection, said Ken Foote, spokesman for the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife office. The recovery plan for the plant said that the Moloka'i Plant Cluster Recovery Plan originally had 19 plants listed, mostly endemic to Molokai.
Phyllostegia hispida is found only in the wet, ohia-dominated forests of eastern Molokai, between 3,650 and 4,200 feet elevation, the news release said. The plant is a nonaromatic member of the mint family (lamiaceae) and is a loosely spreading, many-branched vine that often forms large tangled masses.
"This unique species was thought to have become extinct in the 1990s but was rediscovered in 2005," said Loyal Mehrhoff, field supervisor for the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife office. "Species such as phyllostegia hispida are integral to the overall health of native ecosystems in Hawaii."
Mehrhoff said that a number of conservation organizations are undertaking efforts to manage habitat for this species, to propagate additional plants and to re-establish populations in the wild.
Organizations such as the University of Hawaii's Lyon Arboretum on Oahu, the National Tropical Botanical Garden on Kauai, the Olinda Rare Plant Facility on Maui and the Kalaupapa National Historical Park on Molokai are propagating plants.
Land managers from the state Department of Land and Natural Resources have fenced some plants to protect them from feral pigs, and The Nature Conservancy continues to control feral pigs and non-native plants within the Kamakou Preserve, the news release said.
Currently, there are fewer than 10 wild mature plants, three wild seedlings, and about seven to 10 reintroduced plants, the news release said.
Phyllostegia hispida has rarely been seen in the wild. From 1910 to 1979, a total of eight populations were recorded but in subsequent years died for various reasons, the news release said. With surveys not locating new plants, the species was thought to have gone extinct – until 2005 when two seedlings were discovered at the Kamakou Preserve.
Phyllostegia hispida was designated an endangered species on March 17, 2009. No known population is entirely protected from factors threatening the species, the news release said.
The plant's most significant threat is its low numbers, because random events such as hurricanes or disease outbreaks could send the plant to extinction, the plant recovery report said. Other threats are habitat degradation by feral pigs and invasive alien plants and by landslides and flooding, rats and non-native slugs. Native caterpillars also may pose a threat to the plant.
To prevent the extinction of phyllostegia hispida and ultimately to recover the species, the service recommends protecting, managing and increasing all known wild populations; continuing survey efforts to identify new populations; increasing the area occupied by existing populations; establishing new populations; controlling threats such as habitat degradation and consumption of plants by feral pigs and competition with invasive introduced plants; and increasing knowledge of the species through research and monitoring.
Copies of the final recovery plan are available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's website at www.fws.gov/pacificislands/ or by calling the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Honolulu office at (808) 792-9400.

Three Pulitzer Prizes for Drama
Edward Albee: I think you've got to assume that nobody promised you a rose garden. Sometimes it's going to be okay, and sometimes it's going to be tough. But, if you haven't got a sufficient sense of self to surmount either failure or success, you're in trouble. I know that some of my plays that have been least popular are some of the best ones. They'll figure it out eventually. I've never lacked self confidence in my talent as a writer. This sounds wrong. It sounds terrible, but it's true. I've never had doubts about my ability as a writer.

I have never shaken Mr. Nixon's hand. I never had one private moment with him. But I really think that I know him as well as I do Dwight Eisenhower with whom I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours. I never met Meriwether Lewis, but I feel like I know Meriwether Lewis better than I know my brothers. So there are various ways that you get to know people, and I don't know which one is best. You just work on what you've got. When Nixon refused to see me, I just thought, "Well all right. I'm just going to have to work harder, and interview more people that were with Nixon at various times in his terribly long career."

Barely two generations removed from the time when dogs and fire hoses were turned on black people trying to secure the right to vote in the South, just decades from the days - up North in Cleveland - when my mother used to warn that a "Negro" child like me was not welcomed everywhere, an African-American is going to the Oval Office.
I realize that the event that has invigorated so many is upsetting and infuriating others. Even so, I feel sorry for those who can't put aside partisanship, doubt, fear, the audacity of their hate or whatever else may be holding them back from joining the celebration.
Hey, Condoleezza Rice got teary-eyed. John McCain, in the hour of his defeat, gave proper honor to the setting of a new American milestone. People danced in the street here and abroad.
It is a great day for African-Americans. I hear that a lot. It reminds me of when a co-worker told me that Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday was "my" holiday, not hers. It's a national holiday that belongs to every one of us. So does this moment.
There is no way, I think, to fully explain to others what Barack Obama's victory means to African-Americans. Rice's reaction may help some begin to understand. It is a great day.
Yet this is a historical event with long arms that embrace the full spectrum of what the United States of America is.
Take a look at the crowd that stood before McCain when he made his concession speech. It looked as if a lot of folks weren't invited to that party.
Compare that scene with the balance of gender and the great variety of color, age, celebrity and just plain folks standing before Obama when he gave his victory speech in Chicago's Grant Park. I bet there were plumbers in the crowd, maybe even one named Joe.
That doesn't mean that the Democratic Party has always been as enlightened as it should be. Nor does what happened Tuesday and the accompanying joy mean that the country has finally shed all its old prejudices or fully dismantled the instruments of overt and subtle discrimination. The enmity often directed against immigrants of color and the animosity easily stirred up against Arab-Americans show that our nation is all too capable of adding new insults to the old ones.
But look at what we have done, and that "we" is big and bursting with all of what the Constitution claims - promises that are just beginning to dance to a song that has been playing for a while.
People like King and the other civil rights leaders and a long list of black politicians - some of whom acquitted themselves better than others - made this day possible. Include Condoleezza Rice on that list. Consider how the presence of Colin Powell on the national scene set the stage for Obama's election.
Some of you have doubts about Obama's experience. What truly prepares anyone for the job? Where would the country be if someone had asked the same experience questions about the guy who has the job now?
Those who were supposed to have experience hitched themselves to a pack of lies and dragged this country into war. Those who were supposed to have experience just bankrupted the firms that were supposed to know how to work the economy. Those folks just dragged the country over a cliff.
There was, however, another man from Illinois, a guy who had just one term in Congress and was not even in office when he won the presidency. He presided over a country so divided that it did in fact tear itself apart. He had no credentials that would have convinced today's pundits he was prepared to be commander in chief during the Civil War, but Abraham Lincoln always makes the "best presidents" list.
If Obama can manage the country as well as he did his campaign, if he can attract people as good and capable and dedicated and get them to work as hard in thinking up new ways of solving old problems, if he can deliver that level of leadership - and oh, do we need a leader right now - there will be more reason to dance in the streets.
In Newark, we know a lot about great expectations after a landslide election that was motivated as much by the desire to get rid of the old as to take on the new. I think most Newarkers understood that better was not going to come easily or quickly. Change is, however, the necessary first step to get something better.
What lies ahead won't be easy. But then, neither was what just happened.
As for me, I'm feeling mighty good right now.
God bless the United States of America.

A big mistake a lot of you make is that wiiware games will be free.
Wiiware is just the same like the virtual console. Its different in that it offers new games instead of old console games.
I can think of some easy games ( Like tetris and some other in that direction ) that can be free but the majority will cost money.
I don't like the colour.

You get into a rhythm. You find the most efficient stroke. You blank your mind and just move. Still, hours have passed since we left Billy Little, and we still haven't found land. The sun is dropping fast. We've covered so much distance today that we're now only a few hours from this morning's campsite. The last thing I want to do is paddle a few more hours.
After another bout of aquatic bushwhacking, a rickety old hunting cabin suddenly looms into view. It sits on stilts, and would be a great place to crash were it not for the creepy scattering of sunbleached deer skulls all over the deck. Besides, after our almost complete immersion into this swamp world, sleeping in a cabin would feel downright discordant. Less than a mile later, the bayou's east bank rises and dries out and becomes land that we are soon sitting on, eating on, sleeping on.
And then, James Proctor's voice is hollering through my cell phone: "You made it!" It's the following afternoon, and we've just pulled our kayaks out of the water for the last time, the thrum of interstate traffic above us once again. When Proctor arrives, he pensively finger-traces our route on the map as we recount the trip. After we tell him about the dearth of dry land in this particular sliver of swamp, I get the feeling he's not going to feature it on his Web site.
And, honestly, that's just fine with Vance and me. If we ever return to these lakes, we'd just as soon have them all to ourselves again.

At sixteen. Yeah, good times.
Also, abortion, adoption, parenting...yes, those are all just super-duper awesome and are totally good alternatives to asking a dude to wrap it up if you're not sure he's being honest about whether he's had a shot/snip. Retroactive actions are always so much better than preventing the problem to begin with. And access to the morning-after pill is not exactly reliable. I was once in a situation in my 20s when it was a holiday and only a couple of pharmacies in town were open, and the one I went to had a pharmacist who exercised his right to "conscience" to refuse to sell me Plan B. I had to drive 45 minutes to get it--thankfully I owned a car or I might have been SOL.
Seriously, you want to avoid getting a woman pregnant, cool, get the shot. Do you trust every woman to be telling the truth when she says she's on the pill? I would be the answer is no given your rant about women's list of choices (the statement that women force men to do things around parenting is telling as to your ideas about women's trustworthiness around reproductive choices). If you don't want some woman to force you to pay for child support, then get the shot, but if she wants you to wrap it up too, then grow the fuck up and wear a condom. You don't trust her, that's obvious from your statements, so why do you expect women to just trust you?
I'm in the fortunate position to have a partner that I can trust, and we make reproductive choices together, but people don't always have sex with monogamous partners they trust on that level, and in those circumstances, believing someone when they say "I'm on the pill/have had the shot/am sterile/don't have any STIs" is just plain stupid regardless of gender.
So nope, I don't trust that all men will be honest about this stuff. I don't trust that all women will be either. If you do, then you're pretty naive about human nature.

Leave Google's billions alone
Everyone loves to play matchmaker. It was a busy week for Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) , as it was attached to buyout rumors of both Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE ) and eBay's (Nasdaq: EBAY ) Skype. I guess now that Google lost out on the spectrum bidding license, the market seems to think that Big G is going to go on a spending spree, as if this was some drunken bachelor party.
Well, before Google starts breaking billions into singles, let's be realistic here. Google rarely goes on pricey binges, preferring to snap up smaller, privately held companies that will be part of bigger endeavors. It's no coincidence that the two times Google has forked over more than $1 billion for an acquisition -- as it did for YouTube and DoubleClick -- it was for private companies.
It's less messy that way. You don't get bellyaching shareholders holding out for more or testy arbs shorting your shares. So why is everyone so set on hooking Google up with a big dot-com when its history shows an entirely different buying-spree pattern?
Will Google buy again? Of course. Is its purchase going to be one of the companies that hopeful investors crank out into the rumor mills? Probably not.
Quick hits
A few more of the market's stories, in brief:
- Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO ) launched Shine, a website for women. I guess it's just as well, since shining hasn't been the company's strong suit when it comes to grappling for market share in the search-engine space.
- Have you ever had a BlackBerry smoothie? The recipe involves adding more than 2 million net new subscribers during a holiday quarter and posting better-than-expected quarterly results. Hit puree. Yes, Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM ) sure knows how to blend up those BlackBerry smoothies.
- The first quarter came and went without XM (Nasdaq: XMSR ) and Sirius (Nasdaq: SIRI ) tying the knot. The FCC at one time had predicted a decision by the end of March. It didn't happen. Patience is a virtue, especially for patient investors who are now staring back at the original announcement nearly 14 months ago. Howard Stern and Oprah Winfrey aren't getting any younger, folks. Let's move this along.
Until next week, I remain,
Rick Munarriz
