UNION COUNTY — Nature lovers of all ages took the opportunity to get up-close and personal with wildlife in their own "backyard" during Bio-Blitz 2014, held on Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14.
The annual outdoor event organizes teams of plant and wildlife specialists to scour two Union County parks in Clark and Scotch Plains in search of plants and animals over a 24-hour period.
Plant, fungi, insect, fish, bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile experts, plus water monitors and amateur naturalists collected and identified species from the parks. Teams returned to Bio-Blitz Central, an outdoor, tented field lab and exhibit space in Oak Ridge Park, 136 Oak Ridge Road in Clark, to sort and count what they find.
"The Bio-Blitz is a great opportunity for the community and visiting scientists to learn more about the natural places that make Union County a special place to live," said Freeholder Chairman Christopher Hudak. "Although these parks are surrounded by suburban development, Oak Ridge Park and the Ash Brook Reservation are perfect examples of how green spaces can provide a haven for people and wildlife."
The primary purpose of Bio-Blitz 2014 is to gain a "snapshot" of the biodiversity (or richness of species) in these adjacent Union County parks. Another important goal of the event is to raise public awareness of the importance of parkland as wildlife habitat and outdoor classrooms.
Free nature-related programs for all ages were offered throughout the event, including evening programs on both Friday and Saturday. Some of the programs available were Mammal Tracking; Frog Slog; Owl Prowl; Star Watch; Stream Sampling; Wild Edible Plant Walk; Live Hawk and Owl Talk; Early Morning Birding, and more.
Bio-Blitz Bingo also offers younger "scientists" an opportunity to record their findings and enter a drawing to win nature-related prizes. A Junior Scientist tent was availble for young naturalists to interact with hands-on activities related to the natural environment. Union County's Trailside Nature & Science Center staff also was on-hand to offer guided walks and provide live animal exhibits.
Gardeners and homeowners interested in attracting wildlife and increase biodiversity in their own yards took the opportunity to learn all about invasive and native plants through exhibits by the NJ Invasive Species Strike Team and the Native Plant Society of NJ. Native plants were also sale by Toadshade Farm.
Bio-Blitz 2014 is sponsored by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation, Kean University and the Rahway River Watershed Association, with partial funding provided by PSE&G.
Team volunteers were fed and "watered," caffeinated and "clothed" thanks to generous donations from ShopRite of Clark; Starbucks of Westfield; N.J. American Water; and Whole Foods of Union. Additional donations were be provided by the Rahway River Watershed Association; Reed Writers; Wild Birds Unlimited,;Jenkinson's Aquarium of Point Pleasant; Staten Island Zoo; and other area vendors.
Other partner organizations include the Arthur Kill Watershed Association; Brooklyn Botanic Garden; Friends of Lenape Park; New Jersey Mycological Association; the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Fish and Wildlife; the NJDEP AmeriCorps Watershed Ambassador Program; the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Plant Protection and Quarantine Programs.

Guangdong Province has surpassed neighboring Hong Kong to become China's top retail export hub in terms of export value, e-commerce platform eBay Inc said in a report published Wednesday.
Although Hong Kong enjoys a duty-free policy, Guangdong has outpaced its neighbor thanks to its advantages in manufacturing, logistics networks and e-commerce labor resources, said the report, which was based on export values in the 12 months to June 30.
The country's top eight retail export hubs are mainly located in eastern and southern regions, with Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces recording the fastest growth, according to the report, which also showed electronics, fashion, and home and garden products are the three largest retail export categories in China.
"The retail export sector has the potential to become a new growth engine for foreign trade," Cai Yudong, deputy director of the Department of Electronic Commerce and Informatization under the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM). told a media briefing held in Beijing on Wednesday.
There are more than 5,000 cross-border e-commerce platforms in China, and over 200,000 domestic exporters have conducted business through these platforms, generating transaction revenue of around 2 trillion yuan ($330 billion) in 2012, according to Cai.
There is still uncertainty regarding the external environment, but according to an online survey of 841 China-based retail exporters conducted by eBay from September 12 to October 8, 52 percent of them expressed optimism about their business prospects in the next 12 months.
The survey found that respondents in Hong Kong and Taiwan care about brand building, payment safety and logistics solutions, but their mainland counterparts are more concerned about policy support such as increasing customs clearance efficiency, and facilitating export tax rebates and foreign exchange settlement.
"We aim to create a favorable environment for retail export firms, as well as supporting them in building sales channels in foreign markets, creating their own brands, and elevating their management and services," Cai said.
MOFCOM released a batch of measures in August to boost e-commerce retail exports and selected five pilot cities including Shanghai, Hangzhou and Chongqing to implement them starting from October 1.
"The recent incentive policies will boost the development of cross-border e-commerce, which serves as a cost-efficient channel for small and medium-sized exporters to reach global buyers," Lin Ya, secretary-general of the Beijing Electronic Commerce Association, said at the briefing.
"MOFCOM's move will benefit export-oriented e-commerce platforms such as eBay and lightinthebox.com," Zhang Zhouping, an analyst at China e-Business Research Center, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
"However, exporters are still waiting for detailed policies to simplify customs clearance processes, lower clearance costs and facilitate cross-border payment," he said.
"We will continue to focus on developing retail export businesses in China, but it does not mean that we will give up the fast-growing domestic online retail market," John Lin, vice president of eBay, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
The just-concluded Singles' Day promotion period around November 11 saw record online sales revenue, with taobao.com and tmall.com achieving total sales of 35 billion yuan.
"Currently over 200 retailers in the US have launched e-commerce businesses on eBay and they all intend to expand into China," Lin noted.

You have to love confidence.
The No. 2 Oregon Ducks clearly are playing with a brash swagger that running back De'Anthony Thomas has put into words.
In response to a question from the Statesman-Journal's Gary Horowitz, Thomas calmly said that he feels the Ducks should "at least put up 40" on the sixth-ranked Stanford Cardinal.
If you watch the video -- which was posted on Oregon's official website -- you will notice Thomas said it in a matter-of-fact tone, without emphasis. He wasn't taunting Stanford. He simply said what he thought.
It reminds me of the off-hand way that former UO cornerback Cliff Harris dismissed Oregon State as the "little brother" before the 2010 Civil War game.
Thomas has good reason for that kind of confidence. Nobody has come remotely close to stopping the Ducks this season. They average 55.6 points and 632.1 yards total offense.
The fact that the video was posted on Oregon's website shows the Ducks aren't backing away from Thomas' words.
It didn't take long for them to make their way to Stanford coach David Shaw. He shrugged at Thomas' "at least put up "40" comment.

Here are items 6-12 to help avoid being that guy on draft day that everyone loves to hate!
6. Don't be the guy that drafts a player who has already been taken. - This happens at least once in every draft and the owner is typically berated mercilessly (often for years in many cases) for such an indiscretion. That is why the aforementioned spreadsheet works so well if you pay attention during the draft. Player is drafted, cross his name off the list. It's not rocket surgery, Folks.
7. Don't be the guy that parties the night before the draft and makes the obligatory late night visit to Taco Bell - We all have to share the same confined space for an extended period of time, so please be courteous.
8. Don't be the guy that takes an injured player that's out for the year, particularly a big name or a potentially early-round pick - I guess this one is as simple as "Please know what the hell you're doing." Yes, the other owners will get a laugh at your expense, but that is exactly what we're trying to avoid.
9. Don't be the guy that warns the guy that is about to take an injured player - Don't ruin it for everyone else. He's a grown-up and should know better. Plus, taking that injured player leaves another healthy guy for the rest of us. This isn't the boy scouts or some team sport where you help each other out - this is a competition with bragging rights and glory on the line, so treat it as such!
10. Don't be the guy that drafts a back-up kicker - If this is not obvious to you, then you may want to rethink participating in Fantasy Football.
11. Don't be the guy that is the "Know It All" that comments on virtually every pick - No one wants to hear your projections or general opinions on every player off the board. "Dude, his line is banged up - no way he rushes for a 1,000 again." Shut-up and let him make his pick, informed or not.
12. Don't be the guy that is the comedian of the group - Granted sometimes it's humorous, but more often than not you come off as an idiot and most of the jokes have already been done. The draft is not a place to share all your witty, Bermanesque nicknames. This piece of advice is special to me, because, admittedly, this is a malady that I still suffer from. I see the look on the other owner's faces when I drop a "George Herbert Walker Reggie Bush," or "Ms. Steven Jackson, if you're nasty," or "TJ Housh-yourmomma," or "Are you sure you want a white receiver?" or "Steve Smith from the Giants, huh, nice pick," or "DJ Can't Hackett," or "Crumpler is a fun-guy." I hear the groans and simulated cricket sounds, yet I still can't help it.

In order to receive a certificate, students complete 28 credits and fulfill all the requirements listed below (these are also listed in the checklist). Each semester, prior to registration, you should arrange to meet with the program advisor to discuss your schedule. The Postbac Psychology Requirement Checklist can help you and your advisor plan and keep track of your progress. Please bring your up-to-date checklist with you to your meetings.
All seminars have limited enrollment and require permission of the instructor to register. Many popular seminars fill up well in advance. You should try to contact the professor of a seminar you would like to take several weeks prior to early registration (e.g., in October for Spring classes or in March for Fall classes). Don't forget that you are eligible to enroll in courses listed in the 4000's. These are open to graduate students as well as undergraduates and postbacs.
Postbac students need to complete a total of 28 points and fulfill these 8 requirements in order to earn the certificate. Postbac students can apply up to 3 undergraduate courses (9 points) towards the postbac certificate with the approval of the program advisor. Barnard courses are considered part of these 9 points. In general, postbacs should not plan to take Barnard courses to fulfill requirements #2 – #8 of the postbac certificate program. Students who wish to enroll in Barnard classes and to use them to complete the certificate requirments should speak to the program advisor. Also note: Because the certificate program is not a degree program, transferred courses from institutions other than Barnard will not appear on your transcript

The drive by Louisiana Children's Medical Center and Hospital Corp. of America to run both of Jefferson Parish's public hospitals has been one of the few constants in the process of selecting a lessee for East Jefferson General Hospital and West Jefferson Medical Center. Another constant has been the alignment of the competitors with the factions that support them, chiefly the governing boards of West Jefferson, which wants Children's, and East Jefferson, which wants HCA.
But Children's and HCA changed the script over the past eight days: HCA abruptly withdrew from consideration, and Children's for the first time is proactively pursuing a lease for only one of the hospitals. That leaves West Jefferson's preferred operator on a course that the hospital itself doesn't want, East Jefferson without its preference altogether and a new and uncertain chapter ahead in the wayward lease saga.
The hospital boards met privately this week to take stock. The chairmen of both boards said in interviews they will ultimately accept whatever the Parish Council dictates. But they remain adamantly opposed on the fundamental question of splitting the hospitals between two operators.
West Jefferson Chairman Harry "Chip" Cahill wants to see two locally based nonprofit health systems -- Children's and Ochsner Health System -- compete for New Orleans-area market share. Children's needs both Jefferson hospitals to do that, he said.
East Jefferson Chairman Newell Normand wants his hospital to have the freedom to negotiate its own deal. He says pointedly that his board has not tried to force an unwanted lessee on its West Bank counterpart.
That's a plot for a bad marriage in the world of health-care mergers and acquisitions, according to Kaufman Hall & Associates, Inc., which helped winnow the field of potential lessees to three finalists: Children's, HCA and Ochsner. Kaufman Hall advised the split in October, the firm's last apparent involvement in the process.
Ochsner expressed the same opinion last month, when the three finalists were asked to submit hypothetical offers for the hospitals apart from one another. Children's strongly opposed a split at that time, but it said it would submit a single-hospital offer if asked to do so.
Ochsner, while never totally discarded in the process, has failed to garner political support for the lease because it is seen as an anti-trust risk. Controlling only one of the Jefferson hospitals could reduce that risk.
Now Children's is taking the view of Kaufman Hall and Ochsner, at a time when its political support on the council is in doubt.
Its backers on the council are Ricky Templet, Chris Roberts and Elton Lagasse. They tried Jan. 15 to persuade their colleagues to negotiate exclusively with Children's for the two-hospital deal.
But they were outvoted by Cynthia Lee-Sheng, Paul Johnston, Mark Spears, Jr. and Ben Zahn, who prevailed to defer the Children's vote while not stating which competitor they want. Since then, the same majority has voted against the Children's advocates to hire consulting firm Nemzoff & Co. to analyze the remaining offers.
Then HCA withdrew from the competition. It said the lease process, underway at least since early 2013 and highly contentious the past six months, has dragged on too long
Soon, Children's expressed its interest in only the West Jefferson hospital, without East Jefferson. "EJGH and WJMC are stronger together with (Children's) when the goals of all parties involved are aligned," Children's President Greg Feirn wrote in a letter to parish attorney Deborah Foshee. "At this time that does not appear possible; therefore, we believe it to be in the best interest of the Parish and WJMC to allow (Children's) and WJMC to move forward with forming a valued partnership."
Feirn submitted the letter in response to Zahn's request for Children's to clarify its single-hospital proposal. But Cahill doesn't necessarily agree on the subject of timing. He said he will seek discussions after Mardi Gras with Zahn and Lee-Sheng, to convince them that Children's should take both hospitals.
"If we had to do a split, would we be happy to go with Children's? In a heartbeat," Cahill said. "But I don't think we've reached a point yet where we have to do a split. If we split it right now and we took Children's, and the council approved it, HCA would probably make a Lazarus-like appearance and suddenly be back in the picture."
Normand said he isn't banking on HCA re-emerging for consideration. But he said any number of scenarios is possible. This could include engaging a previously unnamed operator, although he added that any such speculation is premature.
For now, he said, the East Jefferson board is simply staying firm in its stance of parting ways with West Jefferson, and is waiting for the results of Nemzoff's analysis. Normand said he hopes Nemzoff will evaluate all three of the finalists' proposals, including HCA's. If Nemzoff finds fatal flaws in all three, that could support soliciting additional bidders, Normand said.
But Nemzoff & Co. President Joshua Nemzoff said in an interview Thursday that he has no intention of considering HCA's offer, because it was withdrawn. "I'm just doing what the Parish Council has told me to do and what I've been contracted to do," Nemzoff said.
That likely will include advising the council on the viability of a split, Nemzoff said. He said he is not yet prepared to weigh in on the idea.
Normand said East Jefferson's pro-split stance arises partly from different competitive dynamics on either side of the Mississippi River. "West Jeff competes against one hospital," he said, alluding to Ochsner's West Bank campus.
"We have five, maybe six, in our primary market area. We have three times the number of ambulatory surgery centers that they have on the West Bank," Normand said. "The whole nature of our competition is different. That begs of a different set of characteristics in our suitor."
Normand also is highly skeptical that Children's can pull off the rapid growth it is attempting to achieve. In recent years, what once was a one-hospital non-profit has taken over Touro Infirmary and LSU Interim Public Hospital, and it has a deal to run the state's University Medical Center. But Normand frequently notes that the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has yet to approve the University deal.
"We don't even know who we are thinking about doing the deal with yet, because they haven't really yet formulated a system," Normand said.

PELHAM, Alabama -- Pelham city leaders are planning to enter into a memorandum of understanding with outdoor-furniture retailer Summer Classics as plans progress on the Shelby County company possibly moving into the vacant Moore-Handley building on Highway 31.
Pelham Council President Rick Hayes at the group's work session Monday night said there has been ongoing communication with Summer Classics about utilizing the long-vacant building. "That opportunity is on the table," Hayes said.
Hayes suggested that Mayor Gary Waters facilitate a memorandum of understanding with Summer Classics on the potential move. "We have gotten feedback from the county" about the plan, Hayes said.
Waters in an interview this morning said the proposed agreement would involve the City of Pelham, Shelby County government and Summer Classics.
The memorandum of understanding would allow the parties to broker a deal "to see if we can help them move their operation into the Moore-Handley facility. It's still a work in progress," Waters said.
A message left at the Summer Classics offices in Montevallo was not immediately returned today.
Waters pointed to the previous Pelham leadership under former Mayor Don Murphy for establishing the groundwork for the proposed deal.
"The credit for this goes to Mayor Murphy and the previous administration. They are the ones that brokered this deal and we are trying to see it through," Waters said.
The former Moore-Handley business that operated the location on Highway 31 in Pelham and sold hardware and tool products has been vacant for a few years after the company went bankrupt.

I will show how the statistical models that are used to describe the performance of atomic clocks are derived from their internal design. These statistical models form the basis for time scales, which are used to define international time scales such as International Atomic Time and Coordinated Universal Time. These international time scales are realized by ensembles of clocks at national laboratories such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and I will describe how ensembles of atomic clocks are characterized and managed.
Invited Review Article: The uncertainty in the realization and dissemination of the SI second from a systems point of view83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3682002View Description Hide Description
The uncertainty (accuracy) in the realization and dissemination of the SI second is determined by the characteristics of three major components: (1) primary frequency standards, (2) time scale flywheels that provide a continuously present frequency reference, and (3) frequency transfer systems. Currently these three systems contribute at approximately equal levels in the mid 10−16 range over 20 to 30 days of averaging time to the practical delivery of the SI second to the most demanding users. Any significant improvement in one system requires similar improvements in the other two systems in order for most users to see the full benefits.

A capillary absorption spectrometer for stable carbon isotope ratio (13C/12C) analysis in very small samples83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3680593View Description Hide Description
A capillary absorption spectrometer (CAS) suitable for IR laser isotopeanalysis of small CO2 samples is presented. The system employs a continuous-wave (cw) quantum cascade laser to study nearly adjacent rovibrational transitions of different isotopologues of CO2 near 2307 cm−1 (4.34 μm). This initial CAS system can achieve relative isotopic precision of about 10 ppm 13C, or ∼1‰ (per mil in delta notation relative to Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite) with 20–100 picomoles of entrained sample within the hollow waveguide for CO2 concentrations ∼400–750 ppm. Isotopic analyses of such gas fills in a 1-mm ID hollow waveguide of 0.8 m overall physical path length can be carried out down to ∼2 Torr. Overall 13C/12C ratios can be calibrated to ∼2‰ accuracy with diluted CO2 standards. A novel, low-cost method to reduce cw-fringing noise resulting from multipath distortions in the hollow waveguide is presented, which allows weak absorbance features to be studied at the few ppm level (peak-to-rms) after 1000 scans are co-added in ∼10 s. The CAS is meant to work directly with converted CO2 samples from a laser ablation-catalytic combustion micro-sampler to provide 13C/12C ratios of small biological isolates currently operating with spatial resolutions ∼50 μm.
The electron spectro-microscopy beamline at National Synchrotron Light Source II: A wide photon energy range, micro-focusing beamline for photoelectron spectro-microscopies83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3681440View Description Hide Description
A comprehensive optical design for a high-resolution, high-flux, wide-energy range, micro-focused beamline working in the vacuum ultraviolet and soft x-rayphoton energy range is proposed. The beamline is to provide monochromatic radiation to three photoelectron microscopes: a full-field x-ray photoelectron emission microscope and two scanning instruments, one dedicated to angle resolved photoemissionspectroscopy (μ-ARPES) and one for ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning photoelectron microscopy (AP-XPS/SPEM). Microfocusing is achieved with state of the art elliptical cylinders, obtaining a spot size of 1 μm for ARPES and 0.5 μm for AP-XPS/SPEM. A detailed ray tracing analysis quantitatively evaluates the overall beamline performances.
Penning traps with unitary architecture for storage of highly charged ions83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3685246View Description Hide Description
Penning traps are made extremely compact by embedding rare-earth permanent magnets in the electrode structure. Axially-oriented NdFeB magnets are used in unitary architectures that couple the electric and magnetic components into an integrated structure. We have constructed a two-magnet Penning trap with radial access to enable the use of laser or atomic beams, as well as the collection of light. An experimental apparatus equipped with ion optics is installed at the NIST electron beamion trap (EBIT) facility, constrained to fit within 1 meter at the end of a horizontal beamline for transporting highly charged ions. Highly charged ions of neon and argon, extracted with initial energies up to 4000 eV per unit charge, are captured and stored to study the confinement properties of a one-magnet trap and a two-magnet trap. Design considerations and some test results are discussed.
Precise real-time polarization measurement of terahertz electromagnetic waves by a spinning electro-optic sensor83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3683570View Description Hide Description
We propose and develop a method to quickly and precisely determine the polarization direction of coherent terahertz electromagnetic wavesgenerated by femtosecond laser pulses. The measurement system consists of a conventional terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system with the electro-optic (EO) sampling method, but we add a new functionality in the EO crystal which is continuously rotating with the angular frequency ω. We find a simple yet useful formulation of the EO signal as a function of the crystal orientation, which enables a lock-in-like detection of both the electric-field amplitude and the absolute polarization direction of the terahertz waves with respect to the probe laser pulse polarization direction at the same time. The single measurement finishes around two periods of the crystal rotations (∼21 ms), and we experimentally prove that the accuracy of the polarizationmeasurement does not suffer from the long-term amplitude fluctuation of the terahertz pulses. Distribution of the measuredpolarization directions by repeating the measurements is excellently fitted by a Gaussian distribution function with a standard deviation of σ = 0.56°. The developed technique is useful for the fast direct determination of the polarization state of the terahertz electromagnetic waves for polarizationimaging applications as well as the precise terahertz Faraday or Kerr rotation spectroscopy.

We report on design and performance of a high-resolution x-raymonochromator with a spectral bandwidth of ΔE X ≃ 1.5 meV, which operates at x-ray energies in the vicinity of the backscattering (Bragg) energy E H = 13.903 keV of the (008) reflection in diamond. The monochromator is utilized for high-energy-resolution diffraction characterization of diamond crystals as elements of advanced x-ray crystal optics for synchrotrons and x-ray free-electron lasers. The monochromator and the related controls are made portable such that they can be installed and operated at any appropriate synchrotron beamline equipped with a pre-monochromator.
A momentum imaging microscope for dissociative electron attachment83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3685244View Description Hide Description
We describe an experimental approach to image the three-dimensional (3D) momentum distribution of the negative ions arising from dissociative electron attachment (DEA). The experimental apparatus employs a low energy pulsed electron gun, an effusive gas source and a 4π solid-angle ion momentum imaging spectrometer consisting of a pulsed ion extraction field, an electrostatic lens, and a time- and position-sensitive detector. The time-of-flight and impact position of each negative ion are measured event by event in order to image the full 3D ion momentum sphere. The system performance is tested by measuring the anion momentum distributions from two DEA resonances, namely H− from H2O− (2B1) and O− from (2Π u ). The results are compared with existing experimental and theoretical data.
Narrow linewidth tunable external cavity diode laser using wide bandwidth filter83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3687441View Description Hide Description
We demonstrate single mode operation of an external cavitydiode laser (ECDL) employing an interference filter with multimode bandwidth for mode selection. A cateye reflector maximizes feedback efficiency and reduces susceptibility to intra-cavity optical misalignment. Narrow linewidths of 26 kHz are observed, and the laser can be tuned over 14 nm using a single 785 nm filter, without alteration of the output beam direction. The cateye reflector and filter allow a mechanically rigid design free of significant mechanical resonances, illustrated by comparison of the frequency noise spectrum with that of a common Littrow ECDL design using a diffraction grating and kinematic mount.
Measurement of probe displacement to the thermal resolution limit in photonic force microscopy using a miniature quadrant photodetector83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3685616View Description Hide Description
A photonic force microscope comprises of an optically trapped micro-probe and a position detection system to track the motion of the probe. Signal collection for motion detection is often carried out using the backscattered light off the probe–however, this mode has problems of low S/N due to the small backscattering cross sections of the micro-probes typically used. The position sensors often used in these cases are quadrant photodetectors. To ensure maximum sensitivity of such detectors, it would help if the detector size matched with the detection beam radius after the condenser lens (which for backscattereddetection would be the trapping objective itself). To suit this condition, we have used a miniature displacement sensor whose dimensions makes it ideal to work with 1:1 images of micrometer-sized trapped probes in the backscatteringdetection mode. The detector is based on the quadrant photo-integrated chip in the optical pick-up head of a compact disc player. Using this detector, we measured absolute displacements of an optically trapped 1.1 m probe with a resolution of ∼10 nm for a bandwidth of 10 Hz at 95% significance without any sample or laser stabilization. We characterized our optical trap for different sized probes by measuring the power spectrum for each probe to 1% accuracy, and found that for 1.1 μm diameter probes, the noise in our position measurement matched the thermal resolution limit for averaging times up to 10 ms. We also achieved a linear response range of around 385 nm with cross talk between axes ≃4% for 1.1 μm diameter probes. The detector has extremely high bandwidth (few MHz) and low optical power threshold–other factors that can lead to its widespread use in photonic force microscopy.
Development of soft x-ray time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy system with a two-dimensional angle-resolved time-of-flight analyzer at SPring-8 BL07LSU83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3687428View Description Hide Description
We have developed a soft x-raytime-resolvedphotoemissionspectroscopy system using synchrotron radiation (SR) at SPring-8 BL07LSU and an ultrashort pulse laser system. Two-dimensional angle-resolved measurements were performed with a time-of-flight-type analyzer. The photoemissionspectroscopy system is synchronized to light pulses of SR and laser using a time control unit. The performance of the instrument is demonstrated by mapping the band structure of a Si(111) crystal over the surface Brillouin zones and observing relaxation of the surface photo-voltage effect using the pump (laser) and probe (SR) method.
Compact terahertz passive spectrometer with wideband superconductor-insulator-superconductor mixer83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3687430View Description Hide Description
We developed a compact terahertz (THz) spectrometer with a superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixer, aiming to realize a portable and highly sensitive spectrometer to detect dangerous gases at disaster sites. The receiver cryostat which incorporates the SIS mixer and a small cryocooler except for a helium compressor has a weight of 27 kg and dimensions of 200 mm × 270 mm × 690 mm. In spite of the small cooling capacity of the cryocooler, the SIS mixer is successfully cooled lower than 4 K, and the temperature variation is suppressed for the sensitive measurement. By adopting a frequency sweeping system using photonic local oscillator, we demonstrated a spectroscopic measurement of CH3CN gas in 0.2–0.5 THz range.

Characteristics of low-energy ion beams extracted from a wire electrode geometry83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3680105View Description Hide Description
Beams of argon ions with energies less than 50 eV were extracted from an ion source through a wire electrode extractor geometry. A retarding potential energy analyzer (RPEA) was constructed in order to characterize the extracted ion beams. The single aperture RPEA was used to determine the ion energy distribution function, the mean ion energy and the ion beam energy spread. The multi-cusp hot cathode ion source was capable of producing a low electron temperature gas discharge to form quiescent plasmas from which ion beam energy as low as 5 eV was realized. At 50 V extraction potential and 0.1 A discharge current, the ion beamcurrent density was around 0.37 mA/cm2 with an energy spread of 3.6 V or 6.5% of the mean ion energy. The maximum ion beamcurrent density extracted from the source was 0.57 mA/cm2 for a 50 eV ion beam and 1.78 mA/cm2 for a 100 eV ion beam.
The dependence of extracted current on discharge gas pressure in neutral beam ion sources on HL-2A tokamak83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3681446View Description Hide Description
The discharge gas pressure is a key factor to influence the extracted current of ion source. In this paper, the dependence of extracted current on discharge gas pressure was investigated in detail at different arc discharge currents. The discharge gas pressure with a very broad range (0.1 Pa–2.7 Pa) was scanned for the first time. It is turned out that, with the increasing of discharge gas pressure, the extracted current increases and the arc voltage decreases at different arc currents; however, when the discharge gas pressure exceeds a certain value, the extracted current decreases. For the same discharge gas pressure, the higher the arc current, the higher the arc voltage and the extracted current are. The arc efficiency was also calculated, and its dependence on gas pressure was almost the same with the dependence of extracted current on gas pressure, but at the same discharge gas pressure, the lower the arc current, the higher the arc efficiency is and the lower the extracted current is.
Simulations of ionization in a hot cavity surface ion source83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3685247View Description Hide Description
A new numerical Monte Carlo method based model of a hot cavitysurface ionizationion source is presented in this paper. The model, intended to support the studies on ionization phenomena in a widely used class of ion sources, takes into account geometry of the ion source and extraction system, ionizer temperature and other features. The results of ion source efficiency calculations for various configurations of the extraction field are reviewed. The dominant role of the ionizer region near the extraction opening is described. Simulated dependences of ionization efficiency on the working parameters like ionizer length and temperature, ionization potential of the substance, and extraction voltage are discussed. A good agreement of the experimental data (e.g., influence of ionizer temperature, current-voltage curve) and the predictions of the model is found. It is also shown that the contribution to the ionization yield from impact of thermionic electrons accelerated by the extraction field may be significant, especially for the substances of small surface ionization coefficient. The simulation results are compared to the predictions of different theoretical models of the ion source—the obtained simulation data are in accordance both with a well-known Kirchner formula and the so called spherical ionizer model.

Improved chopping of a lithium beam for plasma edge diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3682003View Description Hide Description
The lithium beam diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade routinely delivers electron density profiles in the plasma edge by lithium beam impact excitation spectroscopy. An accurate background subtraction requires a periodically chopped lithium beam. A new, improved chopping system was developed and installed. It involves a voltage modulation for the extractor electrode and the beam deflection plates. The modulation of the extractor electrode reduces the unused portion of lithium ions and improves the stability of the beam with respect to its position. Furthermore, the data indicate an extended emitter lifetime. The extractor chopping was also found to be insensitive to sparks. The deflection chopping experiments demonstrated beam chopping in the kilohertz range. The significantly higher modulation frequency of the deflection chopping improves background subtraction of fast transient events. It allows a more accurate density measurements in the scrape off layer during impurity injections and edge localized modes.
Measurement of ion and electron temperatures in plasma blobs by using an improved ion sensitive probe system and statistical analysis methods83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3681778View Description Hide Description
We have measured ion temperature as well as electron temperature in plasma blobs observed in a linear plasma device by using an improved ion sensitive probe. Current–voltage characteristics of the ion sensitive probe inside and outside plasma blobs were re-constructed with a conditional sampling method. It is clearly found that both ion and electron temperatures in plasma blobs decrease more slowly in a cross-field direction than those in a bulk plasma without plasma blobs.
Tracer-encapsulated solid pellet injection system83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3681447View Description Hide Description
The method of tracer-encapsulated solid pellet (TESPEL) is now flourishing in various fields. The original purpose to study impurity transport without giving substantial perturbation on the plasma is implemented successfully for years. In addition to this, TESPEL is being intensively applied to study thermal (especially non-local) transport, high energy particles with the use of TESPEL ablation cloud, and spectroscopy from the viewpoint of atomic data. It is now further growing up to the utilization of multiple tracer methods which was not planned at the initial phase of the project. The proof-of-principle experiment using triple tracers has been successfully implemented. This opens a way to compare the Z dependence or mass dependence of impurity transport. In this article, as TESPEL is used in a variety of fields, the TESPEL injection system is summarized together with the method of TESPEL production, TESPEL storage disk, TESPEL guide system, and the differential pumping system. Also, the observation system for TESPEL flight and TESPEL ablation is explained.
Electric field-perturbation measurement of the interaction between two laser-induced plasmas83(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3683453View Description Hide Description
The interaction between two ns-laser-induced plasmas in air at the early-stage of expansion has been analyzed by using a method based on the direct measurement of the perturbation of an externally applied electric field. In this experimental method, the plasmas were produced by focusing two laser beams between the plates of a parallel-plane-charged capacitor. These plasmas produce a perturbation in the electric field of the capacitor which can be measured as a voltage change across a resistor connected to the ground plate. It was found that for delays shorter than 5 ns, the interaction between plasmas is mainly due to the interaction of the dipole-charge distribution of each plasma. For longer time delays, the shielding effect was dominant.

WARE – A 6-year-old girl that was recently attacked, bitten and dragged to the ground by an Australian shepherd and Siberian husky mix dog required 29 stitches to close a wound on her arm, according to a report by the town's animal control officer.
Selectmen are scheduled to review the incident at Tuesday's July 15 meeting.
Selectmen will decide whether to have the dog put down or muzzled at all times when not on the owner's property.
"If the dog is not to be ordered euthanized then I would still have to suggest confining the dog and keeping it tethered on the property, and muzzled at all times when off of it," Ware animal control officer Sara Prideaux wrote in a report.
In the narrative, Prideaux said the girl's father contacted her a day after the June 29 incident that occurred about 8 p.m.
"I received a call today, 6/30/2014, from the father of the little girl who was bitten. I then heard a surprisingly detailed account from the six year old girl [who] was bitten," the animal control officer wrote in a report dated June 30.
"She said she was standing in between the cars when the older girl opened the gate and the dog ran through. She heard the dog growling before he grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her to the ground. The dog did not let go of her arm until the owner screamed to stop. She had 14 stitches on the outside of her arm and 15 stitches on the inside of her arm."
According to the report, the dog, which is named Junior, is owned by Jenifer Ramos.
In a report that is dated June 29, Prideaux wrote: "Upon speaking to Mrs. Ramos she informed me that the dog had played with the bite victim many times before and that it had never been a problem.
"I asked if anyone had seen the bite in question and they brought me their daughter. She was a bit hysterical but able to relay most of what had happened. The young girl stated that she was trying to exit the gate that the dog was behind while her friend stood a few feet away in between two parked cars. In a few seconds the dog slipped through her legs and ran at her friend. She then went on to say that all she saw was the dog grab onto the bite victim's arm and flip her over."
The incident occurred in the area of Monson Turnpike Road in Ware.

WEST DEPTFORD TWP. — Residents of Willow Woods took their landlord through a litany of both old and new complaints, from raw sewage in the streets to absentee management, during a hearing that ended with township officials approving a rent increase requested by the property owner.
Tuesday's 5-0 vote by the township's Multiple Dwelling Regulation Board allows the Carlyle Group, which owns the mobile home park, to pass along the increased cost of 2012 taxes and utilities to its tenants. According to attorney Chris Hanlon, who addressed the board Tuesday on behalf of the California-based property owner, the taxes and water/sewer charges have already been paid to the township.
During the meeting, board member Susan Pihs announced herself as a Willow Woods resident — having moved last September — and expressed solidarity with her neighbors. She later had to recuse herself from the vote, but was allowed to address the other board members as a resident of the property.
"The things we go through on a daily basis, and then we call and get no answer at the business office," said Pihs. "The park is filled with abandoned buildings, where there is an infestation of skunks, cats and other animals.
"The lack of concern and care is troubling. It sometimes feels like we're living like animals. It's not fit for people to live there."
The "pass-along" decision on Tuesday will see residents' monthly rent increase by "about $3.98 per unit," retroactive back to Nov. 1 of last year, according to officials.
However, that doesn't include a 1.1 percent rent increase the board approved last year in September, which was designed to keep up with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Back in September, the Carlyle Group had asked for both the CPI and pass-along rent increases. However, the board held off on allowing the pass-along rent increase due to multiple problems with the property identified in an Aug. 7 letter from the township's code enforcement office.
The board decided to approve the CPI raise at the time, but held off on allowing the Carlyle Group to pass on the cost of increased taxes and utility bills to residents until those issues raised by the code enforcement office were addressed.
Those issues raised by Code Enforcement Officer Mark Hallahan included water meter problems, multiple vacant units attracting wild animals, "dangerous steps" and other examples of "disrepair."
Hanlon pointed to a letter from the code enforcement office stating most of the issues had been "abated" as of October of last year.
"There is another report that is more recent, stating that we are working with residents to fix the stairs, and vacant units are being secured," he later added.
This failed to impress the residents, who said they have seen eight different on-site managers come and go within the past three years. They said they cannot get answers from Carlyle officials, and that problems with sewage and flooding persist. In addition, some of the residents have been charged the 1.1 percent CPI increase, while others haven't.
Residents who spoke during the public hearing sought to make the meeting a referendum on their quality of life issues. However, attorneys present for both the property owner and the board made it clear that only the issues listed by the code enforcement office could be raised and addressed by officials.
"Why should we have to pay more when there's human waste out in the street?" asked resident John Miller.
"I've been experiencing these problems for three years. There's flooding; I have to move my car every time it rains," he added, before being cut off by Hanlon's objections.
Joe Webber, chief operating officer of the Carlyle Group, attended the meeting, and said he heard and understood their concerns.
"A lot of this comes out of the frustration of not having a manager present at the property," he said. "The nature of the billing is going to be addressed."
"We recognize there is a problem," he later added.
Board member Tyler Levine said he visited the park recently, stating, "In my eyes (the Carlyle Group) has done a lot."
"It's cleaner, there were no open sewer lines that I saw and no open electrical boxes," he added. "The vacant trailers were boarded up — there were broken windows, but you can't board up everything. The streets were clean."
Board Chairwoman Shirley Vallee agreed, but stated Willow Woods needs to have a responsive manager on-site.
"I do feel like the residents need a manager they can depend on," she said. "And they deserve accurate records that they can understand."

Looking for some good mixed drinks to serve at your holiday parties? Try some of the best concoctions dreamed up in the past six months by the most talented bartenders in Central New York.
We've assembled the how-to videos for all our Central New York Signature Cocktails in one place. You'll find margaritas and mojitos, old-fashioneds and martinis, and everything from a Cool Mule to a Twisted Kilt.
We had the Anti-Oxidant Martini at Empire Brewing Co. way back in June. We did the holiday-themed Flaming Rum Punch at the Hotel Clarence in Seneca Falls in the run-up to Christmas.
Over the past six months, we've featured videos showing how 27 different bartenders make 27 different cocktails at 27 different bars. (It's 28, if you count our first, prototype effort featuring David Hoyne at Kitty Hoyne's making an Irish Coffee last March).
We had one video in French (with English subtitles). We had one drink in which gummi bears was an ingredient. We even had one Red Bull-and-vodka combo.
Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Hay all, just wondering what this boot garnish would be worth? It is off a VX HSV Clubsport painted in norfolk green
Seen them on ebay for $200+........
HSVI just want one
i have seen 2 go this week for 150 and 160 and i missed out both times by $2-3 there hard to get so yeh 200+ no worries. plus bein a hsv 1 no probs good luck
Always In Construction Mode!!!!!
I just got one off ebay for $199.00.
Cashy, was it a HSV one?
The one I got came off a Calais I think. The only thing HSV on the one above are the badges, and the colour. You may be able to find someone willing to pay a little extra for that, but most would be get it resprayed anyway, and therefore the badges would come off.
I'd say you'd get about $200-$250 for it.
I'm actually chasing one at the moment for the Wanna-Be-A-Clubby. How much you want for it?

After downloading games I notice they are all usually around 4.35gb while the DvD-r can only hold 4.7gb. Am I missing something or once burnt onto the DvD-r they become smaller? Is there a type of DVD cd needed for burning games?
I did burn a game onto one yesterday, IMGburn said that the file on the CD was smaller then the ISO before burning and I thought it wouldn't work. When I put it into the system the game worked fine, though I'm not sure if the ending is cut off.
There is no problem the ISO Image is smaller then the disc capacity .
Everything is o.k.
DVD-R disc are the ones you want to use.Any brand should work.

We could have dealt with campus hate long ago
We are reaping the whirlwind of our past inability to counter anti-Jewish propaganda in universities
Around three decades ago, I was deputy editor at a small, now defunct, UK publication called the Jewish Observer and Middle East Review. In common with the JC, it devoted a great number of column inches to the issue of Palestinian propaganda on UK campuses.
Apart from news stories in both publications reporting the avalanche of Arab propaganda on campus, and a small, heroic number of individual voices calling for the Jewish community to do more to help students combat it, the Jewish establishment failed to step up — with human resources, educational support, PR or advertising campaigns or cash — to counter the Palestinian narrative being imparted to students across British universities.
The Israeli Embassy — which, one would have thought, would want to help Jewish students in their battle with their Palestinian counterparts for the hearts and minds of British undergraduates — took an even more casual view; one which could be neatly summarised as "are we bovvered?"
There was a great deal of chest-beating about how unpleasant it was for Jewish students to have to bear the full brunt of Arab activism — exacerbated in 1975 by the United Nations resolution equating Zionism with racism — but few people in the Jewish community, it seemed, recognised the more pernicious long-term implications of this wave of implacably anti-Israeli propaganda, and how it would impact on the way the conflict and Israel would be perceived by the wider world in future years.
Nor — with the noble exception of Marks & Spencer's Michael Sacher, who founded and initially funded Bipac, the forerunner of Bicom — were we willing, as a community, to take the kind of steps urgently required to ensure Israel's case was properly put on campus.
And so today, the Jewish community — and Israel — is reaping the whirlwind of that profound inability to grasp the wider implications of campus activism 30 years ago.
Because today, and for the past decade, many of those holding senior positions across a range of organisations, in law, politics, local and national government, unions, academia, and, most of all, media, passed through British universities when a zealous and lavishly funded Palestinian propaganda machine enjoyed virtual hegemony on UK campuses.
The long-term impact of such virulent anti-Israeli propaganda on non-Jewish, non-Muslim undergraduates may also help to explain the curious silence, today, in conflicts away from the Middle East — in Darfur, Rwanda, Bosnia and, currently, Sri Lanka. In all those places, despite the deaths of tens of thousands — sometimes millions — entire cohorts of media, academics and politicians seem barely to register the conflicts, let alone to call for boycotts, march on embassies or ask questions in Parliament.
And, as the JC reported last week, the Palestinian lobby remains unremittingly hard at work on campuses: stoking students' anger at Israel's Gaza incursion; pushing the "disproportionate" line; organising sit-ins and demonstrations in British universities; calling, again, for boycotts against Israeli academics; and arguing for boycotts of Israeli goods.
The UJS is far better organised and funded than it was in the 1970s. But there is a limit to what a student organisation can achieve without additional support and resources. Unlike 30 years ago, students today need more than mere breast-beating from us if they are effectively to organise themselves to challenge the Palestinian lobby.
We owe it to them — and to a future generation which will otherwise feel the impact of the current anti-Israel activism on campus 20 years hence — to help. Even if they don't yet realise they need help.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - MEIERS CORNERS - Residents neighboring the abandoned, shuttered property on the corner of Mountainview and South Gannon avenues received some help last week when a city agency visited the abandoned site to remove overgrown weeds.
A contractor was summoned to 147 Mountainview Ave. by the city Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) on Thursday to remove tall grasses surrounding the home. Additional accessible openings on the home were also sealed, said HPD spokesman Eric Bederman.
The cost of the cleanup was not released, but the bill is expected to be sent to the owner, Daniel R. Wuerdeman, of West Brighton. If it's not paid, the costs will be placed as a lien against the property.
The office of Councilman James Oddo (R-Mid-Island/Brooklyn) has fielded numerous complaints regarding the Meiers Corners property.
"For several weeks, we have been working with city agencies and have gotten the grass cut and the building re-sealed," said Oddo. "The permanent solution is much more elusive and tied to the foreclosure process, which obviously falls outside the purview of this office."
Wuerdeman, who was unable to be reached for comment despite numerous phone attempts, is also facing trouble from the city Health Department, which inspected his property for the first time in December 2011.
Neighbors said that raccoons and rats have crawled into the two-story home that was once described as beautiful.
"A compliance inspection was done in January 2012, and the property was baited/exterminated three times in April," said Health Department spokeswoman Chanel Caraway.
Wuerdeman is scheduled to appear in court on July 12.
City records indicate no 311 complaints are open regarding the property.
According to the Department of Buildings (DOB), the Mountainview property has been hit with 32 complaints since 2003. Four DOB violations remain active, as do seven Environmental Control Board (ECB) citations.
The most recent, issued last July, involves the owner's failure to maintain the exterior of the house.
Collectively, the fines total more than $15,000.
According to city Department of Finance records, which are public, Wuerdeman owes $10,594.68, according to his April 2, 2012 billing summary.
Sophie A., of Sea View, often takes an express bus that leaves her near the house when she returns to Staten Island.
In the past, she's walked by the home, and when it was full of weeds, she wound up with hives and a rash. The woman blames the homeowner for not maintaining his weeds, which the city cleaned at the end of last week.
"It's a health hazard. I hate walking back. There's no other way around it," she said, noting that there is no sidewalk across the street.
Elena V., a neighbor who's dealt with the vacant, overgrown site for 14 years, said the city's effort to clean the area is only a "pacifier."
She said after years of complaints, many officials have turned a blind eye.
"If somebody gets hurt, the blood is on their hands," she said, noting that disregarded properties such as the one on Mountainview should be taken from the owner after 3 to 5 years, not 14 or more.
"We go through this every year," she said.

Bushmills is one of the oldest registered distilleries in the world. Irish whiskey has been made on the site since around 1608 when King James 1 granted a license to distill. Today there are six whiskies in the range.
We have spent the last few days updating our Bushmills pages. You will find more detailed descriptions of each brand and links for the best places to buy them. They make great whiskies at Bushmills – in fact, it is one of our favourite distilleries. That regard will be evident on the Bushmills whisky pages you read, but it is not sales speak. We have known every Bushmills brand in the range, some of them intimately, and the views are all honestly held.
Generally, as a distillery, Bushmills is interesting. Bushmills whisky stands on its own a little bit from other Irish whiskies. The two brands bigger than it – Jameson and Powers – are produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork, while Bushmills is still made at its traditional home. That home is not even in Ireland. It is in the village of Bushmills in County Antrim, which is in Northern Ireland, a part of the UK.
So there is a uniqueness about Bushmills whisky. They are all triple distilled and are all made with at least some un-peated single malt.
Bushmills Whisky
There are currently 6 brands in the Bushmills whisky range.
Bushmills Original – a light whiskey made from a blend of single malt and grain whiskies. It is an excellent, and some might say better, alternative to the more common Irish whiskey brands.
Bushmills Black Bush – a rich blended whiskey that is made up of 80 percent triple distilled and aged single malt. Considering how good it is, it is unbelievable value for money.
Bushmills Irish Honey – a flavoured Irish whiskey that contains Bushmill Original infused with honey. It will not be to everyone's taste but it has tapped into a niche and works well in cocktails and mixed drinks.
Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt – another shockingly good value Irish whiskey, this is made from 100 percent single malt and aged for 10 years. Just add a dash of water.
Bushmills 16 Year Old Single Malt – an Irish single malt whiskey that is aged in three different types of cask: bourbon, sherry and port. It is creamy and bursting with flavours.
Bushmills 21 Year Old Single Malt – a difficult to find but exceptional Irish single malt whiskey aged for 21 years in bourbon, sherry and Madeira casks. Wow.
You can find links to all the individual Bushmills whisky pages on our Bushmills page here.

PISCATAWAY — A 20-year-old Piscataway man was sentenced to 38 years in prison today for beating his mother to death with a crowbar after she took away his car keys.
With angry family members in the courtroom gallery in Elizabeth, a teary Victor Muglia III told Superior Court Judge Stuart Peim that although he doesn't know why he killed his mother, Karen Muglia, he accepted responsibility for her death, said Assistant Middlesex County Prosecutor Nicholas Sewitch.
Muglia, who was 17 at the time of the killing, pleaded guilty to murder on Aug. 6 after Peim in April refused to suppress his videotaped confession in which Muglia told investigators he beat the 46-year-old apartment office manager to death with a crowbar late March 30 or early March 31, 2008, and told them "what I always wanted to do is see someone die."
Karen Muglia was in front of the television on the living room sofa when her son clubbed her over the head with a crowbar he got from their garage. After wrapping her body in plastic garbage bags, Muglia dragged it to the basement and hid it behind the furnace.
Police found Karen Muglia on March 31, 2008, after her sister, Kim Brady, asked them to check on her because she could not reach her sister at work despite her nephew's claim that she went there, Sewitch said. Her car was found parked several blocks from their Spencer Street home, Sewitch said, an attempt by Victor Muglia to deflect attention from her disappearance.
Although investigators had no single motive for the fatal beating, Sewitch said the pair had argued because she took away his car keys and she wanted him to get a job. Her purse, with her wallet containing cash, was found in his car and Muglia had bragged to friends before her body was found that he had come into money, Sewitch said.
"It appears this is a young man who was angry at his mother…and decided to beat his mother to death," Sewitch said. "It wasn't just one or two hits. It was multiple hits."
He said among her injuries, Karen Muglia suffered broken ribs, a lacerated lung and spleen and a smashed index finger, indicating she tried to defend herself.
Muglia's attorney, First Assistant Deputy Public Defender Wayne Morse, asked Peim to impose the minimum sentence, 30 years without parole.
Brady and Muglia's other sister, Linda Graf, told Peim they want their nephew behind bars for as long as possible.
Under the terms of the sentence, Muglia will be required to serve 32 years and three months in prison before becoming eligible for parole.

The back of my right hand is parallel to my left hand. I don't want my hands fighting each other during the stroke. By placing both hands square to the target, it's much easier to keep the face of the putter square during the stroke, at impact especially. _ My right thumb extends down the shaft to a point just below my right forefinger. Any farther and my right hand and wrist tighten a bit and don't hinge freely. Any shorter and I sacrifice control. _ The back of my left hand faces the target. This 'weak' position discourages the hand from rotating excessively during the stroke. The reverse-overlap grip provides a sense of unity. It doesn't lock the hands together in any way, but it does prevent either hand from becoming too dominant during the stroke. I position both thumbs directly down the top of the handle. The thumbs are as sensitive as the fingers and provide the greatest amount of feedback as I swing the putter back and through the ball. (Golf Digest Staff Photographers)

Thank you, Mr. Romney
Theodore Roosevelt had little patience with people who criticized politicians but would not run themselves.
Mr. Romney ran.
He is a smart man, good looking, healthy, with an attractive family. He did not have to give up six years of his life to campaign. He did not have to serve as governor, in the Olympics, or run for the White House.
Mitt Romney wanted to help.
He always wants to help.
Everyone has mixed motives all the time, but the best of us are mostly guided by our better impulses. Mr. Romney is one such man.
Many writers are pointing out that Mr. Romney has "no future in politics," because he was not a movement guy. This is true, unless the movement was patriotism. The simplest explanation for most of his life choices is his Mormon faith and his Mormon faith taught him love of country and his fellow human beings. Following him politically in this Mormon moment exposed me to the positive elements of that tradition.
An incumbent in trouble was bound to demonize such a man and Mr. Romney knew the attacks were coming. He thought he could beat them, but he was wrong. Millions of Americans did not vote, because they accepted the attacks. Millions turned on him, but it worth remember that in the first debate, his most shining moment, he undid much of the billion dollars worth of damage.
He ended with favorables as high as the President of the United States.
I don't believe that Mr. Romney was a perfect candidate any more than I believe that he is a perfect man. His "move left" to win in Massachusetts was untrue to his religious roots and some of his primary positions seemed forced and false to his true beliefs. He is moderate man . . . not in political terms, but in the old sense of the virtue associated with being even keeled and prudent.
This is not an age for moderation and so he often tried to ape zeal. He is no zealot and never will be. He is prudent man, a cautious man, a reasonable man, a helpful man.
Mitt Romney would have been an excellent President, just as his father would have been a fine chief executive. Sadly, the first Mr. Romney lived in the age of Nixon while his son lives in the age of Obama. Both were bested by men who understood the devils and angels of the age better.
I wish I could listen to Mr. Romney tell stories like he did at the Al Smith dinner. I wish I had a greater chance to see him as he appears in the talkradio interview where his religious beliefs were challenged. I wish he were President of the United States, but he will never be.
But I am thankful for his service. What will Mr. Romney do next?
He will find some way to help, just as he has always done and has often been the case most may never know how he helped.
God bless the United States of America and Mitt Romney, the moderate man in the arena.

Voice: David Schimpf, Saginaw Township
I hope the people of Saginaw County realize what kind of judge we have in Fred Borchard. Not only does he have the best integrity and judgment, but he is also a class act.
I have known Fred since junior high and also at Arthur Hill High School. He was always friendly, very intelligent and a classy person.
Although I rarely see him anymore, the few times I do, it is always great and he is still that same person I remember back in high school.
As for being a judge, it is great to see someone on the bench who delivers the kind of sentences some criminals deserve.
I am sure he deliberates long and hard on many decisions, but he does his job admirably and should be commended for it.

George Washington's Blog
The U.S. is literally funding Iranian nuclear capabilities.
As CNN reports, the U.S. state department has given millions of dollars to two Russian institutes which, in turn, are directly helping to ramp up Iran's nuke capacity at Bushehr and other facilities.
This is especially ironic given that the U.S. has accused Iran of producing fuel for nuclear weapons at Bushehr.
[The phrase, "the best enemy money can buy" comes to mind.]

Aloha has never been short on school or community pride, and Thursday night's graduation ceremony for the 2014 class of Aloha High School was a testament to that pride.
In her keynote address, graduating senior Annalise Hodges emphasized the sense of community she felt at the high school. Though her class is graduating, the students will never part with the spirit of Aloha or the community fostered by the high school. The graduates will always be warriors, she said, a reference to the school mascot.
"We are the pride of Aloha," she said.
Principal Ken Yarnell summarized several of the class's accomplishments, but warned the graduating seniors they were sure to face hardships throughout their lives. However, they should look at these challenges as opportunities to better themselves, he said.
He repeated the class motto, which is a quote from Nelson Mandela: "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead."
-- Anna Marum
