Thermal Expansion of ZnS from 2° to 317°K38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709718View Description Hide Description
Thermal expansion of the wurtzite phase of ZnS was measured using a back‐reflection Debye‐Scherrer x‐ray camera. Experimental results indicate that retrograde behavior is exhibited both perpendicular and parallel to the c axis at 60°±5°K. The molar volume decreases approximately 0.30% from 300° to 60°K and then increases slightly upon further cooling. Lattice parameters obtained at 25°C are a 0=3.8226±0.0003 Å and c 0=6.2605±0.0015 Å.
Stress and Dilatation Fields of the 〈111〉 Dislocation in Cubic Crystals38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709719View Description Hide Description
Exact expressions of the stress components and dilatation of a straight dislocation, lying in a 〈111〉 direction in a cubic crystal, have been obtained analytically. The transitions in the contours of stress and dilatation fields are found to be controlled by an elastic anisotropy parameter R. For bcc crystals, the transition of σ23 contours of a screw dislocation takes place at and that of σ13 contours at R=3 (for W, Ta, V, Cr, Mo, Nb, and Fe, ; for Na, K, Li, ). The results of the stress analysis are useful in treating the dissociation of screw dislocations in the bcc lattice.
The dilatation contours of a [111] dislocation of the mixed type with Burgers vector a/2[111̄] are illustrated. The differences in shape of the contours for the anisotropic and isotropic cases are greater for the pure edge dislocation than for the mixed‐type dislocation.
A Shock‐Induced Phase Transformation in Bismuth38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709720View Description Hide Description
A study was made of the shock‐induced phase transformation in bismuth at 25 kbar. A quartz pressure‐gauge technique was used to obtain the experimental data. A previously reported disagreement between the dynamic and the static transition pressure is due in part to a strength‐of‐material correction. The remaining discrepancy is probably due to a systematic error in the earlier dynamic study. The observed dynamic transition pressures corrected for strength‐of‐material effects and corrected to 25°C were 25.4 kbar for isotropic bismuth, and 25.9 kbar for cast bismuth. These values agree nicely with the value 25.4 kbar obtained by static compression. Hugoniot elastic limits of 2.4 to 3.1 kbar were observed for the different types of samples.
Diffusion Currents in Large Electric Fields for Discrete Lattices38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709721View Description Hide Description
A derivation for the steady‐state currentJ produced by a large homogeneous electric fieldE 0 in the presence of a concentration gradient is presented which includes explicitly the effects due to lattice discreteness. The resulting equation is where C(0) and C(L) are the boundary concentrations of the diffusing species at the interfaces of the planar film at positions x=0 and x=L; e, the electronic‐charge magnitude; Ze, the charge per particle of the diffusing species; 2a, the distance between adjacent potential minima; v, the frequency at which the ion attempts energy barriers which have height W in zero field; k B, the Boltzmann constant; and T, the absolute temperature. A derivation valid in the limit of a continuum model is also presented, and the results are compared numerically. The equations for the discrete and continuum models reduce to the results predicted by the ordinary linear diffusionequation for electric fields below approximately 105 V/cm. The relevance of the equations to the phenomena of anodic and thermal oxidation and to thin‐film current‐voltage devices is briefly described.
Defects in Silicon Crystals Grown by the VLS Technique38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709722View Description Hide Description
Crystalline defects have been studied in silicon crystals grown by the vapor‐liquid‐solid (VLS) technique. Most of these crystals are highly perfect. However, some crystals contain defects such as dislocations,stacking faults, and second‐phase regions. An elastic stress field, resulting from differential thermal contraction was found near the tip of every crystal. The formation and prevention of these defects and their relation to the VLSgrowth mechanism are discussed in detail. The morphology of the prismatic side faces of the crystals depends on deposition temperature, and is primarily due to vapor‐solid deposit. This deposit is perfect even at deposition temperatures as low as 700°C.
Reflection of Electrons by Standing Light Waves: A Simple Theoretical Treatment38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709723View Description Hide Description
The reflection of electrons by standing light waves, i.e., the stimulated Compton scattering proposed by Kapitza and Dirac, has been treated by applying the Born approximation. The probability that an electron will be reflected is derived, for light waves that are not too intense, as a function of the electron beam orientation and of the coherenceproperties of the light waves. It is shown, among other things, that the original formula of Kapitza and Dirac is not directly applicable to representative studies using lasers. More general formulas are given along with a discussion intended to serve as a practical guide in the design of experiments.
An Arbitrary Current Source in a Homogeneous Anisotropic Plasma38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709724View Description Hide Description
In analogy with the free‐space solution of Maxwell's equations, the excitations which are set up in an anisotropic, macroscopically neutral plasma by an arbitrary current can be described by potentials. The equations which the one vector and two scalar potentials must satisfy are first obtained for a relatively general physical situation. Due to the complexity of the mathematics, however, one cannot expect to obtain analytic solutions to this set of coupled equations without first making some realistic simplifications. One particular case that can be solved without an inordinate amount of difficulty is that of the point charge moving with uniform velocity parallel to a strong magnetic field. It is shown that the propagating waves which arise in this situation are electroacoustic in nature but very different from those created by a moving charge in an isotropic plasma.
Microtwin and Tri‐Pyramid Formation in Epitaxial Silicon Films38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709725View Description Hide Description
Microtwin lamellae and tri‐pyramid defects often form in {111} siliconepitaxialfilms and these are affected by impurities within the substrate and system. The tri‐pyramids, which are doubly twinned with respect to the substrate surface, result when three oblique pyramids sprout from a triangular twinned deposit which forms on the (111) substrate surface. Twinning enhanced by adsorbed impurities could account for the initial twinning, but since it is a random process, cannot explain the second twinning operation for all three pyramids. The results also show that SiC platelets are not unique or necessary for tri‐pyramid formation. A reentrant twin mechanism is proposed to account for this as the twinned islands join up with correct ones. This mechanism can also account for the formation of microtwin lamellae which often accompany the tri‐pyramids. It is also shown that oblique microtwin lamellae can propagate directly from the twinned deposits and that multiple twin lamellae can result when the twinned deposit has steps in it.
Investigation of Precursor Decay in Iron by the Artificial Viscosity Method38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709726View Description Hide Description
The artificial viscosity method of von Neumann and Richtmyer is used to calculate the flow field for a shocked, elastic‐plastic‐relaxing solid; particular material parameters are chosen to represent the rate‐dependent behavior of iron. The constitutive relation is based on the dislocation model for plastic flow. Dislocation velocity is assumed to be a unique function of shear stress as given by Gilman and Johnston. Two models for dislocation multiplication are studied. The first is the multiple‐cross‐glide model discussed by Gilman, and the second is one in which pinned dislocations become sources of new mobile dislocations in the sense of the Frank‐Read multiplication process. Artificial viscosity calculations yield precursor amplitudes which are sometimes considerably different from those obtained from characteristic theory of precursor decay. These differences are believed to be due to the finite width of the elastic wave front provided by the viscosity. With proper choice of mesh size in the artificial viscosity calculations, a decrease in stress can be seen immediately behind the elastic precursor. This agrees qualitatively with experimentally determined shock profiles in iron.
Dislocation Mobility and Motion under Combined Stresses38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709727View Description Hide Description
Measurements of dislocation damping as a function of static biasing stress and during deformation have been carried out on single‐crystal, high‐purity tantalum. The results show that the dislocation mobility for small periodic stresses is orders of magnitude greater than for large constant stresses. The change in flow stress Δσ due to the application of a small periodic stress σ v is proportional to σ v 2. This second‐power dependence of Δσ on σ v is shown to result from thermal activation of the deformation. Calculations of activation energies and volumes using the point‐defect theories of Gilman and Fleischer give reasonable values.
The large difference in dislocation mobility between the periodic type motion and the unidirectional motion indicates that the thermal component of the flow stress is not due to a Peierls‐type mechanism, but to discrete dispersed barriers to dislocation motion.
Diffusion Charging of Aerosol Particles at Low Pressures38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709728View Description Hide Description
The diffusion charging of aerosol particles by unipolar ions has been studied experimentally over the pressure range, 0.0311 to 0.960 atm, using monodispersed aerosols of di‐octyl phthalate. The ratio, a/λ, of the particle radius to the mean free path of ions has been varied over the range from 1.0 to 66. Within the accuracy of the experiments, the particle charge has been found to be independent of the ratio, a/λ, and well represented by the equation, np =9.00Dp ln (1+1.02×10−5 N 0 tDp ), where np is the number of elementary units of charge acquired by the particle, Dp is the diameter of the particle in microns, N 0 is the number concentration of the ions to which the particle has been exposed in ions/cc, and t is the charging time in seconds. This equation agrees with a theoretical equation derived by White when the molecular weights of the positive ions used in the charging experiments are assumed to be equal to 16 times that of air or 460.
Thermal Conductivity, Thermal Diffusivity, and Specific Heat of Solids from a Single Experiment, with Application to Y1.98Nd0.02O338(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709729View Description Hide Description
In the absolute method for determining thermal conductivityK, the difference in temperature between two points along a rod is measured under conditions of steady‐state flow of heat. The thermal diffusivity κ may also be determined from measurements of the time required for this temperature difference to decrease to half the steady‐state value when the source of heat is removed. From K and κ data, the specific heat may be calculated, using the general relationship C=K/κρ, where ρ is the density. The technique permits determination of K, κ, and C with a single, small specimen having a wide range of K and κ. By observing simple experimental precautions, agreement to within 5%–10% has been obtained, for neodymium‐doped yttrium oxide, between C values calculated from K and κ data and those derived from calorimetric data.
Thermal Conductivity, Diffusivity, and Expansion of Y2O3, Y3 Al5O12, and LaF3 in the Range 77°–300°K38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709730View Description Hide Description
The thermal conductivities of Y2O3, Y2O3:Nd3+, Y3Al5O12:Nd3+, and LaF3 have been measured from 77°–300°K by a steady‐heat‐flow method. The densities of these crystals and of LaF3:Nd3+ have been determined in the same temperature range, using x‐ray methods. Using this information and specific heat data from a variety of sources, the thermal diffusivities of these materials have been calculated. Although the diffusivity of pure yttrium oxide is somewhat higher than that of pure yttriumaluminumgarnet, introduction of about 1 mole % of neodymium into both these compounds leads to crystals with diffusivities approximating that of undoped YAG. The diffusivity of doped yttrium oxide and YAG (about 0.05–0.06 cm2/sec at room temperature) is about three times that found for undoped lanthanum fluoride. The relative ease with which heat may be removed from Nd‐doped Y2O3 and YAG suggests their use in lasers to diminish time variations in the width of the beam.
Low‐Energy Sputtering Yields of Ge Single Crystals as a Function of Temperature38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709731View Description Hide Description
The temperature dependence of the relative sputtering yields of Ge (100), (110), and (111) surfaces for various kinds of noble gas bombarding ions, bombarding ion energies, and bombarding ion fluxes has been investigated. Instantaneous relative yields were obtained by using the spectroscopic emission technique. The dependence of the annealing temperature on the bombarding ion energy and flux can be interpreted in terms of a simplified model where the rate of defect production equals the rate of defectannealing at the annealing temperature. The width of the transition region increases with decreasing bombarding ion energy and mass.
Lithium Tantalate Light Modulators38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709732View Description Hide Description
Light intensity modulators have been developed using single‐domain lithiumtantalate as the electro‐optic material. A broadband transistoramplifier which can develop 0.2‐W output power drives the modulator sample which presents a capacitive load of 5 pF. Approximately 80% modulation is achieved from dc to 220 Mc/sec, when the light is made to traverse the sample twice. The modulation bandwidth is limited by the transistoramplifier. Very little acoustic ringing is observed when the modulator is used as a fast light switch.
Lattice Defects in Shock‐Deformed and Cold‐Worked Nickel38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709733View Description Hide Description
For equivalent values of plastic strain, the dislocation density and point‐defect concentration following deformation by the propagation of high‐amplitude shock waves (70 to 330 kbar) through high‐purity polycrystallinenickel are appreciably larger than as a result of cold rolling near 0°C. Based on the electrical‐resistivity change in recovery state III and IV, it is concluded that vacancies rather than interstitials are the predominant point defects formed. The ratio of the two types of defects that are formed appears to be essentially strain‐rate independent. The dominant point‐defect formation mechanism is believed to consist of the nonconservative motion of jogs on screw (or mixed‐character) dislocations. The observed enhanced formation of point defects as a result of shock deformation is explained as the result of the increasing efficiency of this process with increasing dislocation velocity.
Recombination Centers in InSb38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709734View Description Hide Description
A study has been made of the temperature dependence of the lifetime and Hall coefficient in p‐ and n‐type InSb with extrinsic carrier concentrations ranging respectively from 1×1013 to 4×1015 cm–3 and from 2×1012 to 5×1014 cm–3, the lifetime having been measured by means of the phase‐shift method. The lifetime data confirm that the interband Auger process is the limiting recombination process in InSb for temperatures above 150°K. Below 150°K both the lifetime and Hall data are generally consistent with a model consisting of two sets of single‐level, donor‐like recombination centers, rather than with a model of a single set of divalent, donor‐like centers as used in a previous work. The energy levels of these centers are located at 0.071 eV and 0.11 eV above the valence band. Subsequent bombardment of a p‐type and an n‐type sample with 11‐Mev electrons produced an increase in the number of recombination centers having the same properties as those occurring before bombardment. It is concluded that the recombination centers in as‐grown crystals are lattice defects of a simple nature, and that there are grounds for believing that associated with the two energy levels are two different sets of defects rather than a single set.
Thermal Expansion of Crystals with KH2PO4 Structure38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709735View Description Hide Description
The thermal-expansion and room-temperature lattice constants were determined for several phosphates and arsenates isomorphous to KH2PO4. From these data, the lattice constants were calculated at the ferroelectric antiferroelectrictemperature. They show a nearly identical c/a ratio for the compounds of any given alkali ion and a change of c/a ratio with the ionic radius of the alkali ion. The size of the expansion anomalies at the transition are markedly affected by deuteration. The anomalies in the ammonium compounds are larger by an order of magnitude than those for the ferroelectric alkali compounds. Temperature hysteresis measurements indicate that the transition in KD2PO4 is probably second order.
Oscillatory Modes Associated with One Carrier Transient Space‐Charge‐Limited Currents38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709736View Description Hide Description
The transient response of the current to an applied voltage step is analyzed for the range of time approaching equilibrium, using a perturbation scheme applied to the steady‐state equations. A modal equation is developed from which an infinite set of decaying, oscillatory modes are shown to exist. The time constant for the system is shown to be approximately one‐fourth of the transit time associated with one‐carrier space‐charge‐limited currents.
Surface Crystallization of Vitreous Selenium as Induced by Chemical Vapors38(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1709737View Description Hide Description
Crystallization of thin layers of vitreous Se induced by exposing the surface to various inorganic and organic solvent vapors, e.g., carbon disulfide, trichloroethylene, isopropyl acetate, has been studied at room temperature. It is noted that the morphology of the crystallites obtained and the various growth features observed are essentially the same for the different chemical vapors used and are similar to growth of Se crystals by evaporation. Different experimental conditions seem only to change the distribution of the relative abundances of the various morphologies and the time needed for achieving a certain extent of crystallization. The mechanisms of crystal growth in this case, as visualized through the various growth features at intermediate stages, are remarkably similar to growth by vapor deposition of Au and Ag films on single‐crystalline substrates.

Hmm tough to say, but I would be on the look for some chainmail and any type of decent melee weap, crowbar/sword prefered, become known as le Zombie Slayer
Go to the bar and have a pint until this all blows over.
One word: Survive.
Chainmail, shield, battle axe, become a zombie hunter.
Have sex with a zombie.
I'd just run whenever I had to if zombies were really as slow as TV/movies make them seem. I'd keep a gun on me and shoot them all in the kneecaps. Zombies mean no college so I'm gonna have a good ass time anytime I don't have to defend myself
You need to be more specific.
1. How much time do I have until the zombies get to my location?
2. How long has the outbreak been going on?
3. What kind of zombies are they?
Most people talk about how well they'd do in a Z-Apocalypse, yet they can't even defend themselves against a spider.
I have a detailed zombie plan for if it happens when I'm in Jersey. Though, while at College.. I plan on killing all the people around me to make less a chance of them turning into zombies and eating me.
"I've been waiting for this shit for the longest time."
I'd gather a small group of usefull that I trust in. We would gather our instruments for defense(knives, axes, guns, etc), the biggest amount of food we could get, supplies in general. We would get a cara and a person that knows the city and the region, this person would drive, or guide the driver.
We would try to find a high place, to avoid most zumbies. We would try to find an isolated secure place that we could use as a base. The next, would be survival.
zombie survival guide is a good book its a fun read if you havent already
....but i would probably kill a few zombies then bite the bullet myself...
Probably go for a wank.
Ok I grab my shot gun a bat and a nice framing hammer. Head to bass pro or any other hunting store grab a machete and load up on Buck shot rounds for my shot gun and maybe grab a couple more shot guns for any other living people. Don't have to be to accurate with Buck shot to hit a zombie in the head also against a horde can take down a lot with one shot.
The bat is to hit them in the head and the jaw. The head kills them the jaw makes them no threat break his jaw he can't bite hammer is my last ditch weapon used in combo with the machete.

This is were that quote comes to play: "fight the gdead, fear the living"
I have read "The zombie survival Guide" so im more prepared, but as that preson in this thread said you have to be more specific.
I am one of those person that kills zombies, not feeds them. IM A F*CKING ZOMBIE SMASHER (my rank speaks for it on bo1&2 zm)
Haha, but seriously I would prepare for it e.g. find/make a suitable shelter for family, friends and/or for others, gather supplies; food, water, ammo, ect, and most important i would be a valued leader.

I'm so excited I can't stand it. This week went really well. Team Honey Badger met for an easy paced 5 miles early Tuesday morning. Our wonderful running group from the =PR= Distance Training program met at the track on Wednesday night for a light workout (totaling 3.25 miles - two at race pace) followed by a wonderful carb-loading extravaganza at our favorite local pizza joint. It was awesome - so much great energy in the air!
|the gang's all here
This morning I met Jodi and Dora for a very quick shake-out run. We met at Starbucks and ran two laps (probably about a half mile) around the parking lot before getting ourselves some yummy coffee. The purpose of the run was just to loosen up - mostly to relax our minds and calm our nerves than anything else. It was lovely. I think we are ready!
Last night I laid everything out for race day. It is going to be HOT and SUNNY tomorrow, nothing like the weather we have trained in this cycle. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s at the start and will climb to a high of 75 tomorrow.
I am planning for the weather. Here is my race outfit plan:
The Outfit:
- Hat and sunglasses
- A light colored tank (originally I was planning on black, but since it will be sunny I'm going for a lighter color)
- Shorts
- A light pair of socks so my feet don't get hot
- Endorphon Warrior "BELIEVE"bracelet
- Road ID
I am wearing my Saucony Kinvara 2s for this race. I love these shoes and wore them throughout many of my runs this training season. Mostly for track workouts and long tempo runs (usually anywhere from 20-30 miles a week), these are my "fast shoes." I wore them for a few longer runs towards the end of my training cycle and over the last few weeks I went back-and-forth between whether to wear these or my Triumphs. I decided on the Kinvaras because what it comes down to is I feel so good in them. They are my racing shoes, my fast shoes. I am excited to wear them tomorrow!
I have also laid out everything else that I am bringing with me tomorrow. This is something I always do before a marathon, just to be sure I am not forgetting anything.
The Race Bag:
- Hand held water bottle (I carry my water when I run and race)
- Gels - I plan to eat one every 5 miles, but I packed a few extra just in case (you never know if you will lose one or if you will have a running buddy who needs one!)
- Sunscreen!
- Lip balm with SPF
- Body Glide
- Picky Bars (I will eat one about an hour before race start, and have another one for after the race to)
- Extra water bottle
- A tube of nuun
- Arnica gel - for any sore muscles before or after
- An extra bag, for wet clothes after the race
- A small towel
- Tissues in case the potties are out of T.P before the race
I think I'm in good shape and that I've covered all my bases. Today I will do as much resting and relaxing as a mom of three can possibly do. I'm going to hydrate like crazy all day (which for me is 100+ ounces of nuun and water), eat an early and light pasta dinner this evening and try to get to bed nice and early.
Are you running the RnR USA races tomorrow? What's your outfit plan for the race? What will you pack in your race bag? Are you feeling ready!?
GOOD LUCK to everyone racing in DC or elsewhere this weekend!!!

While in the airport yesterday I picked up the latest copy of Domino Magazine, special edition Small Spaces. I thought it would make for an interesting read while on the plane, but a quick nap got my attention instead. So, today after I've gotten caught up with a few projects, I plan to sit and have a leisurely browse through one of my favorite magazines. I was so glad to know that I wasn't the only one out there that sorely missed Domino when they ceased publication a few years ago, and was thrilled to have them publish a special edition (now their third), for we who find inspiration in their pages.
This issue is on newsstands until June! Plenty of time for you to pick up your copy!
Make it AMAZING!

Without the use of coal and the resulting low cost electricity, much of the economy in the south and southeastern US would be non-existent. Just my two cents worth and no, I don't work in coal or TVA.
I think there is truth to what you say. But other economies in other states get by fine without coal. And the amount of coal used in the production of semiconductors is quite negligible when compared with the amounts used in power generation.
As we lose blue collar jobs to poor people overseas (Chinese) the pressure to race to the bottom will continue. Some folks around here will claim our environmental restrictions are already too strong (which is why Bush fought hard to roll back decades-old environmental restrictions on coal plants), and then claim that we'll need to mirror the Chinese with their nearly absent environmental laws, so we can be just like them.
This controversy comes from 2 opposing world views. Your view can be that we should push economic growth as fast as possible and to heck with the consequences (China), or you can have a slow growth economy, but with a healthier and happier people (Europe). America is somewhere between those, which is good enough I guess. I'd prefer that we spend more money on clean things, and less on our McMansions and Hummers.

College of Humanities & Social Sciences
Dr. Bill Carrigan to deliver Rowan's 'Last Lecture'
Date: Thursday, February 6, 2014 @ 7:00pm
Bill Carrigan, chairman of Rowan University's Department of History, will have the honor of delivering his hypothetical "Last Lecture" (which is being rescheduled from its original date of December 10th).
A tradition at many universities, the "Last Lecture" is the lecture a professor would give as if it was his/her final opportunity to speak to the University community. Traditionally, the "Last Lecture" provides life lessons not usually taught in the classroom.
This fall, Rowan's Student University Programmers collected nominations from students and staff on which professor should present the University's fourth annual "Last Lecture." Carrigan prevailed.
A native of the central Texas town of Chalk Bluff, Carrigan teaches a host of courses in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences, including classes on the Civil War and Reconstruction, the American West and the history of New Jersey.
Forgotten Dead: Mob Violence against Mexicans in the United States, 1848-1928 (Oxford University Press), is his new book, co-authored with Clive Webb, a professor of history at the University of Sussex in England.
The "Last Lecture" was made famous by the late Carnegie Mellon University Professor Randy Pausch, whose lecture after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer became an Internet sensation and a best-selling book.
Location: Eynon Ballroom, Chamberlain Student Center

text: One of this week's tasks is to make your bed. I've been making my bed for a long time (which I'm sure all of us have!) so this was easy for me. I've been doing it the way Erin does it in How to Sew a Button all along, except for Step 4, which is to take the sheet 15 inches from the bottom and put it on the bed, tuck in the corners, then tuck in the part that's on the bed. I just line up the flat sheet with the mattress and then start tucking it under at the end of the bed and work my way around to the corners. Both ways work! Here are the pictures of my made up bed! (Please excuse the wrinkly part of the flat sheet on the right side of the bed in the first picture. I tried to smooth it out. Hehe.)

Corina, Ilene
Ilene Corina is cofounder and president of Persons United Limiting Substandards and Errors in Health Care (PULSE) of New York. Contact author: email@example.com.
My son Michael was a happy, active toddler whose enjoyment of life was marred by one thing: chronic ear infections. My pediatrician advised me to have Michael's enlarged tonsils and adenoids removed; I agreed. The surgery went well, and Michael came home the same day.
Michael began bleeding a few days after surgery. I rushed him to the ED, where a surgeon cauterized a leaking blood vessel. I was told not to worry. This was the first of five visits in less than one week to four different physicians, all of whom gave me the same message: "Don't worry."
Michael died from blood loss eight days after what should have been a routine tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. He was four months shy of his third birthday.
Grief-stricken, I sought solace and support in attending a support group for people whose children had died. Although this helped, it didn't give me exactly what I needed. I was a parent who had experienced a medical error that caused the death of my child. I began speaking to people about patient safety. I found so many people who wanted to share their stories that I asked a church if we could meet once a month, and the support groups began. The doors were open to everyone; many who attended the meetings were health care professionals.
Then I heard of a group in Colorado called Persons United Limiting Substandards and Errors in Health Care (PULSE). Founded by Jennifer Dingman, PULSE is a support group for victims of medical errors. I realized there were others doing the same work I was, and I adopted the PULSE name and began holding monthly meetings on Long Island, New York. I am now the president of PULSE of New York.
After experiencing a medical error, some people have an initial need to talk about it with others and give voice to their anger and pain. PULSE meetings provide support for patients and families who need to share their stories. Survivors may also consider legal action because they're searching for someone to blame for their misfortune, but no amount of money can ever bring back a loved one. PULSE can help families find alternatives to legal action, such as looking for ways to prevent medical errors.
PULSE attempts to reduce the number of errors by educating consumers about health care safety, through sharing the experiences of both health care professionals and consumers. Stories are told without naming hospitals or physicians: our policy is "no name, no blame." Even the best hospital or most reputable physician can make a mistake, and there is an awareness that the stories are often one-sided.
I also run many community education programs. These 45-minute workshops help people become better health care consumers and teach patients how to partner with their physicians, nurses, and pharmacists to ensure that they receive the best possible care. The participants often learn from each others' experiences. Safe medication administration is one important focus of the workshops (see "Welcome to Our Local Family Hospital," above).
The workshops reach people of all ages, from teenagers to senior citizens. In particular, it's through talking with teenagers, who are just starting to take responsibility for their health care, that I learn more about how confusion and fear can cause people to neglect personal health care. PULSE teen health advocates distribute educational brochures on topics such as what to expect on a well visit, what to do if one feels uncomfortable with a physician, and safe practices concerning medication.
Jennifer Dingman and I have gone on to cofound PULSE of America, a national organization (www.pulseamerica.org). Like its state counterparts, it provides support for survivors of medical errors and educates consumers about how to prevent medical errors and how to be proactive in their health care.

The RedHotList is a dynamic list of taxa for which having adequate EOL pages is deemed especially important. It includes economically important species, highly invasive species, medically important species, and culturally "iconic" species, among other categories.
Taxon pages are in the "Pending" collection if we think they need more work; they are moved to the current RedHotList collection once they are sufficiently rich and well-curated, including at least a brief summary and adequate images.

Voluntary contributors
August 13, 2009
Winners of Redbridge Jewish Community Centre's annual volunteer awards included centre stalwarts Claire and Ivor Baylin.
The Baylins have volunteered at RJCC for 10 years and are heavily involved in its daily life.
Mrs Baylin welcomes people at the door and helps out in the dining room.
Her husband runs bowls and the centre's afternoon quiz. At this year's Purim show, she dressed as a cheerleader, while he became a snake charmer for the afternoon.
Other winners were Terry Chyte, who volunteers four days a week, and Hymie Phillips, who has also helped out at Jewish Care's Stepney day centre. Awards also went to Stella Scholar — a volunteer for 22 years who started as a meals-on-wheels driver — and Marie Cohen, who has volunteered for 40 years.

Hang in There! The Persistence of Abraham Lincoln
See how Lincoln personifies the definition of "persistence" with a brief look at key facts from his life.
- Grades: 3–5, 6–8
A person who is persistent, says the dictionary, is one who continues to follow the same course of action, no matter what. A persistent person keeps trying and trying.
Abraham Lincoln was one such person. Here's the evidence:
- Lincoln was defeated when he ran for the Illinois House of Representatives in 1832. But he was victorious in the House race in 1834, and was then reelected for three consecutive terms.
- He was defeated when he ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1843, then ran successfully for a House seat in 1846.
- He was defeated for the Senate in 1855.
- He was defeated for Vice President in 1856.
- He was defeated for the Senate again in 1858.
- Finally, in 1860, Lincoln was elected President.

In Wednesday night's series opener, the Las Vegas 51s did all their damage over two innings, and the Albuquerque Isotopes' late-game rally fell just short in a 7-6 defeat.
Albuquerque (64-48 as of Wednesday night) held on to its narrow lead in the Pacific Coast League American Southern Division. Oklahoma City (62-48) was just a game back, with New Orleans (61-51) and Round Rock (50-62) trailing.
Charette Lakes: Fishing was slow to fair using Power Bait for trout. We had no reports on other species.
Cimarron River: Trout fishing was good using brassies, Cimarron specials, red copper John Barrs, tricos, small gold Panther Martins, salmon eggs and worms. Water flow below Eagle Nest Lake as of Monday was 36 cfs. Fishing at the Gravel Pit lakes was fair to good using salmon eggs.

New Mexico Highlands University marketing major and rodeo team member Chelsea DeMott has received an academic scholarship for her success as an entrepreneur in organizing youth rodeos.
The Galesburg Business & Technology Center in Illinois awarded DeMott the $1,000 scholarship. The 20-year-old is from Rio, a small rural community near Galesburg.
The softball Kim Baros drilled Monday evening, off a pitch from Loretta Abreu-Martin, took on a life of its own once it jumped off the bat.
The ball seemed intent on leaving the ballpark, slicing crisply past the second baseman and making an improbable bee-line across the bumpy outfield all the way to the fence in right center field.
The Vida Encantada Cougars' outfielders ultimately retrieved the ball, but not before Baros had darted all the way around for an inside-the-park home run.
In the bottom of the ninth inning Monday, Khris Davis scored from third off a single by Nashville teammate Edwin Maysonet for a walk-off 4-3 win over visiting Albuquerque.
The Isotopes (64-46) and Sounds (49-61) were to close their series on Tuesday. Albuquerque swept Nashville in a Sunday doubleheader 4-2 and 11-0.
The Isotopes return to The Lab for a home set with the Las Vegas 51s Wednesday through Saturday. The 'Topes then host Tucson Aug. 5-8.

Jolene Martinez, whose three-point shooting touch often gave her Robertson Lady Cardinals a shot in the arm over the last several years, will be continuing her basketball career a while longer.
Martinez this past week officially signed a national letter of intent to play ball and attend Lamar Community College in Lamar, Colo.
The Las Vegas native said the opportunity to keep playing while working toward her degree in nursing helped her make the decision.
A six-round unanimous decision victory punctuated the return of Las Vegas professional boxer Arturo "El Toro" Crespin on Friday night in Albuquerque.
Crespin defeated Duke City native Nazareth Rojas 59-55, 59-55, 58-56, in one of the undercard matches of "Warehouse Rumble 2," a card staged by Chavez Promotions at Albuquerque's YDI Wool Warehouse.
A champion won't be crowned until Tuesday night in the Las Vegas adult softball league women's division.
Rainy weather impacted field conditions this past Thursday and Friday, leading to cancellations of games on both evenings.
The top-ranked Vida Encantada Cougars will play the No. 2 seed Budweiser-Dicks-Night Owl at 7 p.m. Monday with a trip to the Tuesday night final on the line.
Two other Monday games will determine a third team to compete for the championship Tuesday.

If you want to play in a professional orchestra, then you need to try to study with a professional. You want to put yourself into a direct mentorship with someone who has achieved the goals that you hope to achieve for yourself if at all possible. This person will have more knowledge to pass on to you than you can ever hope to gain from books or college.
It's important that you try to associate yourself with the best musicians in the business so that you can learn from them and benefit from their knowledge and experience. Another idea is to attend all music festivals, conferences and any other musician related event that you can get yourself into. Be persistent and prepared for a long and hard battle ahead of you. While it isn't always easy, there are many success stories out there of passionate musicians that just wouldn't give up on what they love.
On that note, and in keeping with the topic of taking advantage of every opportunity, here are some of the best free resources for musicians. Check them out for yourself; you have nothing to lose.
Every aspiring musician needs sheet music. If you're a music fan, then you probably enjoy collecting all the sheet music you can, even if it's not the type of music you typically play. If you're looking for free sheet music, here are some great sources:

It's been eight years since the original cult classic Beyond Good and Evil was released, and now Ubisoft is giving fans and newcomers alike the chance to experience one of the most tragically overlooked games ever with Beyond Good and Evil HD. Diehard BGE lovers would have obviously rather had Beyond Good and Evil 2 released in its place, but it will definitely do for now.
The Pros
- Still one of the best games ever
- Brilliant game direction
- Game world is rich and engaging
The Cons
- Camera issues, especially in tight spaces
- Final boss fight is just ridiculous
Beyond Good and Evil HD Review:
It's been eight years since the original cult classic Beyond Good and Evil was released, and now Ubisoft is giving fans and newcomers alike the chance to experience one of the most tragically overlooked games ever with Beyond Good and Evil HD. Diehard BGE lovers would have obviously rather had Beyond Good and Evil 2 released in its place, but it will definitely do for now.
For non-cult fans, Beyond Good and Evil tells the story of Jade, a fiesty, green lipstick wearing photojournalist who is tasked with uncovering a government conspiracy that has turned her peaceful planet of Hillys into a violent, war torn dictatorship. Using her trusty staff, and even trustier camera, Jade, with the help of her humanoid pig uncle, Pey'j, must fight against the invading alien forces and bring the truth to the people by joining up with an underground resistance movement known as the Iris Network.
What still absolutely amazes me about BGE is its brilliant game's direction and pacing. I mean, there isn't a proper tutorial (and even then it feels totally natural) until probably around 45 minutes into the game. Players are encouraged to discover all of Jade's moves and skills on their own, and the game only reveals this knowledge when it becomes absolutely necessary. This sense of self-discovery on the part of the player is something of a lost art in "modern" games, and experiencing it from a last-gen game on a next-gen console made its affect all the more pronounced.
There are also so many small details that make exploring Hillys so fantastic; from strolling the streets of the pedestrian district and watching as the conversations and attitudes of the citizens change with every new report you file, to being able to subscribe to in-game newspapers, there is no shortage of ways to be completely drawn into this world. And that's before being able to compete in hovercraft races, play a futuristic version of air hockey, and, eventually, pilot a ship into space, just to name a few of the activities you'll encounter. And thanks to the HD upgrade, Hillys and everything in it is more beautiful and enthralling than ever.
BGE was also way ahead of the curve in terms of giving players the freedom to play how they want. Stealth plays a major part in the game, as it is what allows Jade to sneak into government facilities and snap the photos necessary to blow the lid off the conspiracy. However, if you'd rather fight guards as opposed to sneak around them, you can. There are certain sections where this option is simply impossible, but there are plenty of places where you're free to choose your approach.
Stealth is actually one of the areas where the game's direction shines brightest, as there are numerous scenarios where the camera will shift to give you a dramatically different perspective on your surroundings. The best part is that you never know exaclty when these shifts are coming, so it's always wonderfully surprising. There are also several chase sequences where Jade must outrun pursuers through alleyways and across rooftops that, oddly enough, feel reminiscent of similar sequences in the Uncharted series.
The combat is rather limited, since Jade only has her staff and throwable discs that can be used to bust oxygen tanks on enemies' backs or solve puzzles. But, because combat design is nearly identical to the combat system found in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the flow with which Jade moves makes fighting fast, fluid, and satisfying. The game's only major issue combat wise is the final boss battle. For a game that only sporadically asks you to fight and then has an end boss sequence that throws wave after wave of enemies at you and has a boss that is capable of knocking you down, and then, before you can even stand up, hit you again, and do this over and over until you're dead, it's a rather baffling conclusion to an otherwise masterpiece of a game.
There are also times when using the hovercraft, specifically in caves or other tight areas, where the camera basically breaks. This only happens a few times, and one of them does involve floating mines, which isn't an ideal combination, but it stands out because the rest of the game is so tight. The other notable camera problem is that you can't invert the Y-axis and keep the X-axis normal, or vice versa. It's either all normal or all inverted. This issue will obviously only frustrate fans of inverted controls, but it's worth pointing out, since it was present in the original game too.
If you missed Beyond Good and Evil the first time around, and you want to finally see what all the fuss is about, now is your chance. Yes, it's just a beautified version of the original game, and it has some quirky issues here and there, but it's still a must play for any gamer. Seriously, don't make the same mistake twice and let the re-release pass you by too. Play Beyond Good and Evil HD now!

Building a total loss; congregation looks to Gods guidance for futurecomment (0)
October 2, 2003
By Grace Thornton
For decades 80-year-old Alma Johnson would sit in her pew at First Baptist Church, Citronelle, with her open Bible illuminated by the soft-colored light trickling down from stained glass windows she helped design years ago.
So watching those windows blow out of their bricked arches in a shower of splintered glass was "rough" when the church burned down Sept. 24, Johnson said.
She and her husband, C.B., who worked by day and helped other men in the church construct the sanctuary by night in 1946, were among many who wept as they watched fire consume the beloved church they'd built with their own hands.
"Watching those windows actually melt was rough. I'm almost unable to describe the feeling," she said.
But Johnson, a First, Citronelle, member for 70 years, said she's seen the church go up, seen it go down, seen problems, seen joys — and the church will "just pick up from here and go on."
Pastor Max Dempsey agreed, though he — in his first pastorate — has only been at the church 10 months.
Alerted by explosion
Around 2:40 p.m. that day Dempsey watched the steeple plummet through the roof of the large brick building in a ball of fire. That was roughly 20 minutes after an explosion caused by a short in the attic alerted day-care workers to the danger. During that time, all 26 children napping on the first floor beneath the burning sanctuary were taken to safety at a playground about 100 yards away.
"God has been given so much glory through the hearts of the people here. The children are safe, and the older members who helped build it are handling it with so much grace," Dempsey said. "We didn't lose our church, we simply lost our building. Our church is stronger than it's ever been."
That's not just a heroic thought in a difficult time, Dempsey said. "It's the truth. Our church is more excited, more open than ever. That excites me as a pastor."
'God is good in all things'
While volunteer firefighters still worked to contain the blaze in the main building at the time the Wednesday evening service normally starts, more than 200 church and community members met in the gym across the parking lot for a worship service, Dempsey said. "The people honestly met to say God is good in all things at all times."
Former pastors and other pastors from across the state, as well as the man who led Dempsey to Christ, came to encourage the church. "It was an awesome time, and the excitement in the Lord was real and honest," Dempsey said.
Ironically, though the service took place, another meeting scheduled for that night didn't — the first meeting of the church's vision committee, a group of members who were soon to plan the church's relocation or remodeling.
"We were going to seek the Lord and explore our options," Dempsey said, noting God helped make the decision for them.
The church, which averaged 325 in Sunday services, only held about 225 people. "We were already outgrowing our facility, and we were fighting a losing battle with the old structure of the church," Dempsey said. "We're brokenhearted, and everyone's shocked, but no one's really surprised. Sentimentally, [things] are gone, but we're grateful no one's injured."
He added that the community had been "absolutely precious," with many businesses and municipalities opening their doors to take in the congregation. Temporarily, Sunday services will meet in the Citronelle High School gym, and the day care may continue operation in a nearby elementary school.
Church member Christine Purvis said the close-knit community and all the denominations who pitched in to help were a blessing — "strictly a God thing."
"The flames were unbelievably heartwrenching, but it was just a building, and we got all the children out. It holds a lot of memories, but we still have our memories," Purvis said. "It's not quite what we wanted, but God's not surprised — He's in control. It's tragic, but we're going to go on."
Nothing changes, Johnson said. Just as her husband was "right there pushing the wheelbarrow" 60 years ago, he's still there encouraging the church forward at 83. And the same community is still helping build them up. "We made it then, we'll make it now. And God will lead us in the right way,"
Johnson said.

Tip/Waist/Tail: 152-125-148
Lengths: 170, 180, 190
A playful, buttery powder ski and surprisingly supportive carver, the Gypsy uses a friendly flex, round tip, elongated sidecut, and reverse camber to achieve a smooth, flowy turn shape. You can ride it from a forward position, but the tail—which is nearly as wide as the tip—can be fully utilized only from a centered stance. Back off the front of your boot a bit and you'll finish full, satisfying turns.

WORDS OF WISDOM: MLB Commissioner BUD SELIG yesterday, delivering the commencement address at the Univ. of Wisconsin, talked about "how he dreamed of living a 'baseball life' while a college student." Selig used his story "as an example for graduates, whom he encouraged to dream big and not be afraid of failure." Selig: "In baseball, as in life ... hope and faith are critical to success. Take advantage of these difficult times because if you have hope and faith, if you are smart and tenacious and dedicated and willing to sacrifice, you can make a difference and make this a better world. And don't be afraid of failure" (AP, 5/17).
BACK ON THE ROAD: In N.Y., Charles McGrath wrote late author JACK KEROUAC "obsessively played a fantasy baseball game of his own invention," a hobby that "even close friends ... never knew about."

Public Library, and the library this week will publish "KEROUAC AT BAT: FANTASY SPORTS & THE KING OF THE BEATS."

Ohio got a better letter grade for its schools but dropped overall in the annual nationwide
released today by Education Week.
The state's B- rating was a notch above last year's measure, although its actual score was only 0.1 point higher. But Ohio slipped to 12th overall, down from 10th last year.
The analysis from the national newspaper, whose annual report cards for the nation and 50 states are highly regarded, covers many areas, including student academic achievement, teacher quality and education financing.
The state got an A for its standards, assessments and accountability, but only a D- for college readiness of its high school students and a D+ for financing schools. West Virginia got an A- in the latter category.
Those two areas are expected to be areas of focus this year by the administration of Gov. John Kasich.
Only five states – not including Ohio – fund property-poor districts at equal or higher levels than their wealthier systems, the report found.
This year's rankings place Ohio below Kentucky for the first time. For the fifth consecutive year, Maryland won the nation's top grade, with a B+. Next come Massachusetts, with a B, then New York and Virginia.
The nation as a whole was given a C+.
The study found that Ohio teachers are comparatively well paid, making the fifth most in any state.

Police: Watertown Man Surfed Internet While Baby Drowned
Police say a Watertown man left his baby alone in a bathtub for at least 18 minutes so he could surf the internet.
The infant died and now the father is charged with criminally negligent homicide.
Watertown police additionally charged 30 year old Michael Davis of 740 Cadwell Street with endangering the welfare of a child.
According to Watertown Police Detective Stephen Backus, Davis was home alone with his 10 month old son, Brady, on August 22, when Davis decided to give the baby a bath.
Backus said Davis left the infant alone in a bathtub and went into the living room, which was about 30 feet away.
"Based on some evidence at the scene, mostly involving his computer, he admitted to being out of the room for several minutes. The computer showed that it looks like he was out of the room at least 18 minutes, left the child unattended in at least 5 inches of water in the tub," said Backus.
According to Backus, evidence showed Davis was on the computer from 5:25 p.m. until 5:43 p.m.
He said 911 was called at 5:44 p.m.
Backus said ambulance crews were able to get the baby's heart beating, but Brady died the next day at a hospital in Syracuse.
Davis turned himself in to police Friday morning.
"He's been very remorseful, distraught. He knew from the start of the investigation that he was responsible for his son's death. He's been cooperative and he knows he made a big mistake here and it was a fatal tragedy as a result of that," said Backus.
Davis was arraigned and released on his own recognizance.
Backus said Davis lost another son, one year old Kentin Davis, in 2009.
That child died of meningitis.
