Our most popular, all-around briefs are seamless, streamlined and made of stretchy, lightweight, moisture-wicking recycled polyester/spandex blend.
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR™ clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

Back when first starting my career, I worked in the finance department of a very large manufacturing company. Our small team often worked late into the night, but I particularly remember a very busy month when we were all helping my boss structure a huge deal with a foreign government. We stayed round the clock and never seemed to have time for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Stale potato chips from a vending machine pretended to be our nourishment.
The day the deal was finally completed, I arrived home too exhausted to do anything but collapse into a rocking chair on my front porch. I was just drifting into a nap when a delivery truck suddenly pulled into my driveway and a driver stepped out carrying a very large box.
"For me," I blinked? He smiled and nodded as I began ripping at the cardboard… now awake and excited beyond belief. I opened the flaps with my heart pounding and pawed through the white protective straw to see what was underneath.
Inside was a veritable basket of delights. Boxes of chocolate wrapped in gleaming gold, bags of colorful candy tied with ribbons, huge lollipops with spiraling colors, sugar coated pretzels drizzled with fudge, and even jelly beans made to taste exactly like every possible kind of fruit.
An attached note revealed that the sender was my boss thanking me for a terrific job. Her thoughtfulness boosted my spirits sky high just as my teeth sunk into a truffle filled with thick, creamy caramel. Like magic, my mind began to swirl about how I would do it all over again, for her, for management… and for our company.
What is the moral of this tale? Simply this. Be sure to remember the people who work on your behalf this holiday season. Be they employees, vendors or clients, we all need to know that our hard work has been noticed and appreciated. I never forgot the lesson of that gift basket and when I decided to start my own business, there was only one thing I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to have a business literally filled with joy. Today I am the proud owner of a beautiful, retail candy store named Sweet Rexie's.
Sweet Rexie's is a place where huge jars of gumballs, chocolates, candy corns, jellybeans, licorice, nonpareils, gummy bears and hundreds of other treats line one wall, while baby clothes, gifts, simple toys, and children's books line the other. Right smack in the middle are my own overflowing gift baskets… just waiting to be shipped anywhere my customers wish to send them.
So next time you are thinking about how to thank someone, just remember that a Sweet Rexie's corporate gift basket filled with gourmet treats is always the answer.
Nanci Lewis is the owner of Sweet Rexie's on Washington Street in South Norwalk, CT and has perfected the art of the corporate thank you and holiday gift basket. Check out her fine selection in the corporate gift section.From now until Dec 24th, Nanci is offering a 10% discount on all corporate gift baskets purchased online in the corporate gift section.

Froot Bat Friday
Froot Bat action shot:
This is right after I got done chewing the cap off. I thought I might be getting a treat. I was wrong.
The Mom is all willy nilly with the treats again. Sometimes she's right on and hooks me up. But most of the time? Yeah, we think about trading her in for a treat-giving The Mom.
Happy Weekend, everybuddy!

The Second Coming of the Lord should become the focal point of our life and the foundation of our worldview. The early Christians used an Aramaic word to express the hope it generated, "Maranatha", loosely translated "Come Lord Jesus".
Chicken Little
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
11/29/2012 (4 years ago)
Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: end times, second coming, parousia, maranatha, chicken little, hope, faith, love, fear, End of the world, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (Catholic Online) - On Thursday of the last week of the Church Year our readings point to the end of this current world and the birth of the new heaven and new earth; the culmination of our experience of time and the beginning of eternity.
The Gospel which I proclaim at Mass (Luke 21:20-28) is prophetic in two respects. Jesus predicts the devastation of Jerusalem. That did indeed occur in 70 AD. And St Luke, the writer of the Gospel, had probably already witnessed it as he set down his account.Â
It becomes the context within which Luke sends a message: we can place our confidence in the promise of the Lord's return. For Christians, the events which precede the Lord's final return should not engender fear. They promise the fullness of God's loving plan for the entire universe. We are told "when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand."  Â
Since Sunday's celebration of the Feast of Christ the King our readings have pointed toward the "parousia", the Second Coming of the Lord. Sadly, a virtual cottage industry has grown up around a misguided attempt to "read the signs of the times", complete with timelines and false predictions.
Many of these efforts generate fear, rather than build living faith. Yet it is living faith which is the key to making ourselves - and the world - ready for the great event to which all human history points. The Second Coming is our "True North." Jesus will come to close the current period of human history and establish the eternal Kingdom.
For Christians, the Second Coming of the Lord should become the focal point of our life and the foundation of our worldview. The early Christians used an Aramaic word to express the hope it generated "Maranatha", loosely translated "Come Lord Jesus".
The words written by the beloved Disciple John in the Revelation given to him on that island of Patmos, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" (Rev 22:20) reflect an early liturgical phrase. They also reveal a lifestyle of living ready.
During this last week of the Church year we should reflect on how we are living and whether we are making ourselves - and the entire human race and created order - more ready for His Return.
For many the thought of the "end" of this world as we know it causes fear. Not unlike the fear of death which grips those who have not experienced being set free by Jesus Christ. In the words of the ancient troparion of the Easter Liturgy, "Christ has Risen from the Dead Trampling on death by death and on those in the tombs, lavishing life."
Are we living in fear or are we living by faith? These words of Jesus should help guide our response to the question, "Fear is useless; what is needed is trust." (Luke 8:50, Mark 5:36)
The condition of many Christians these days is more akin to the fear demonstrated by the childhood story of Chicken Little than to the faith to which we are all called by Baptism. Most of my readers recall the story:
"Chicken Little was in the woods one day when an acorn fell on her head. It scared her so much she trembled all over. She shook so hard, half her feathers fell out. Chicken Little: "Help! Help! The sky is falling! I have to go tell the king!"
The story proceeds through many different encounters and ends with the little chicken learning the lessons of courage and the practicality of good preparation for every journey in life.
What happened to faith, hope and love, those "theological virtues" infused within us when we rose from those waters? Why, of all people, do those who know the real King and Sovereign of the entire universe so easily give in to the kind of crippling fear which is such an impediment to living faith?
I have made a decision I invite my readers to consider. I am going to put up my spiritual umbrella every morning before I open my E Mails. Oh, do not get me wrong, I pray every morning. I could not do what I do daily and wear all the hats that accompany my specific vocation without having that intimate morning communion with the Lord.
I have started to once again open up my E Mail's over that cup of coffee before I pray. No more. Too many "Chicken Littles" are using the World Wide Web to throw acorns and I need my umbrella!
Please, do not think that I am suffering from naďveté. I have been in the trenches for years. I truly grasp the gravity of the very real challenges and struggles we face in this contemporary culture of death.
I understand the deep effects of what our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI rightly called the Dictatorship of Relativism. I know how hard it is to live as a Christian husband, father, grandfather, deacon, lawyer and activist in an age which has lost its moral compass.
However, perhaps because I have also spent many years studying our Christian history, I know that none of this is new. We are not the first generation of Christians to live in a culture of death. The early Christians went into a declining Roman empire that accepted the placing of unwanted infants out on rocks to be either eaten by animals or taken by slave traders as normal!
It was a practice called exposure. Those early followers of Jesus Christ - and many, many other Christians throughout the ages - have also faced the rancid fruit that accompanies a culture's descent into hedonism and self idolatry. However, they went into their cultures as leaven and light, filled with faith, hope and love - and transformed them from within. So must we.
We are called to follow the One who stretched out His arms and embraced the whole world on that second tree on Calvary's hill, doing for us what we could never do for ourselves. That Cross brought heaven to earth and earth to heaven, forming a bridge between them.
With His great act of surrendered love, He who knew no sin ended the separation which resulted from it and created the world anew in Himself. (See, 2 Cor. 5: 17 - 21) From the wounded side of the New Man, the Second Adam, Jesus Christ, the Church was formed and that Church is called to continue His redemptive work until He returns to complete the total recapitulation of all things.
He defeated death by Death and through His glorious Resurrection He mediates the hope that we who bear His name can walk in, if we choose to do so. So, let the acorns fall all around you, I assure you the sky is not falling, even if it appears to be.
Christians are called to hold the sky up for others by living our lives now in Christ and helping those bound by the fear of death to find new life in the One who conquered it. The author of the Letter to the Hebrews explains:
"Now since the children share in blood and flesh, he likewise shared in them, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who through fear of death had been subject to slavery all their life" (Heb 2:14-15)
I am also going to practice a technological version of what has long been called custody of the eyes in Moral theology. I am going to stop reading the articles, blog posts and commentaries by the growing number of naysayers in our camp who are losing the supernatural sight which is informed by faith and fueled by Christian hope.
They are the Chicken Little's of our time and seem to have forgotten their umbrellas. Our Catechism reminds us in one of its numerous treatments concerning hope that "The first commandment is also concerned with sins against hope, namely, despair and presumption". (CCC #2091)
By the way, we should remember the end of that little childhood story: "Chicken Little always carried an umbrella with her when she walked in the woods. The umbrella was a present from the king. And if - KERPLUNK - an acorn fell, Chicken Little didn't mind a bit. In fact, she didn't notice it at all."
Raise your heads and hold up the sky. Fear is useless, what is needed is trust.Â

In Years Past
In 1913, Herman August Schultz, eight years old, son of Mrs. August Schultz of Maple Street, Westfield, was drowned in what was known as the mill dam in Westfield Creek late Saturday afternoon. His body was found floating in the creek near the Westfield mills Sunday night by two boys. They went to the mill and told Martin Stoakes, who took the body from the water. Young Schultz went swimming with two other young boys and whether or not they were with him when he was drowned had not been learned but it was thought that they were and became frightened and ran away.
Bert Oscar Anderson of North Work Street, Falconer, well known in both Falconer and Jamestown as B. O. Anderson, left his home Sunday shortly before noon and could not be found by his family or friends. The family was very greatly concerned over his unexplained absence and asked The Journal to make facts known to the public. Mr. Anderson had spent more than 30 years in Falconer and was a hard working Christian man with no bad habits, exemplary in this conduct and spoken of in the highest terms by all who knew him. He attended church with his wife on Sunday, came home and remarked that he was tired of it all and was going away. He had not been seen since. He was almost 60 years old and had worked at farming most of his life.
In 1938, Jamestown police were busy investigating the ransacking of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde G. Jones, 404 East Fifth Street, while the family was in Buffalo the previous day. It was believed the intruders were in the home between 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. George Jones, son of the couple, discovered what had occurred when he returned home at 10:15 p.m. and reported the matter to police promptly. So far as could be determined, nothing was stolen. A hatchet found near a basement window through which entrance was probably effected, was taken to headquarters for fingerprint examination. Fragments of the broken window pane were taken for the same kind of study.
A man about 50 years of age, believed to be W. V Stevenson of R. F. D. 3, Pleasantville, Pa., was found dead along the B & O railroad tracks near the Fenton farm just outside Salamanca and at the upper end of the railroad yards this morning about 6:30. The name was given on a card carried in his billfold, with instructions in case of accident to notify Jess Stevens of Pleasantville. An overcoat and lunch were found in a box car at that point leading to believe the man had jumped out of the car in front of a freight train.
In 1963, Cynthia Lou "Cindy" Bush, 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bush of Livingston Avenue, Celoron, beamed a happy smile as she received her crown and regal robes as Miss Chautauqua Princess of 1963 Saturday afternoon at the State Armory. Princess Cindy, a second grader, was crowned by Miss Chautauqua County – Kay Rendell, of Watts Flats. The crowning was part of the two-day show to aid the current cancer fund drive.
Police and fire officials continued their investigation to determine the cause of a small oil stove explosion which took the life of one person and injured two others, one critically. The explosion occurred at 1:20 p.m. Sunday in the family's small one-story frame camp at the Goose Creek camping area near Vukote. The three victims, all of Lewis Run, near Bradford, were asleep at the time of the explosion. Fatally burned was Mrs. Nell Toothman, 45, who died in Jamestown General Hospital at 7 p.m. Sunday. Injured were her grandchildren, Robert Williams, 1, whose condition was critical and his sister Becky Williams, 2. Her condition was listed as good.
In 1988, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam memorial wall would be on display at the Dunkirk Historic Lighthouse grounds from August 26 through Sept. 1, according to Harold Lawson, president of the Lighthouse and Veteran's Park Museum in Dunkirk. "We know Vietnam vets feel left out and we want to show them we care," Lawson said. The memorial would be available for public viewing free of charge 24 hours a day during the week it would be in the area.
Rainy weather didn't stop about 75 Jamestown General Hospital nurses from participating in what they called a "right to know rally" the previous afternoon on Tracy Plaza at Jamestown City Hall. The rally was an attempt to gain community support to keep JGH a full service health care facility, said Kathleen Moore, president of the Nurses Association. She said Jamestown needed two hospitals and not a health care monopoly. "No decisions were made on the financial crisis at JGH," said Mayor Steven B. Carlson this morning

Topic: how to update ranking in sortable elements?
hey all,
I have a sortable list like that:
# view

<% 6.times do |i| -%>
<span class="item_position" id="item_position_<%= i+1 %>">
<%= i+1 %> <li id="item_<%= i+1 %>">I'm number <%=
i+1 %>

<% end -%>

<%= sortable_element 'list',
:update => 'list-info',
:complete => visual_effect(:highlight, 'list'),
:url => { :action => "order" } %>
# controller
def order
@order = params[:list]
render :partial => 'list'
I would like to update the position number in the span item_position
as I drag and drop elements. As an exemple, if I drag element number 5
to the second position I would like to update its span to 2.
Any idea how to do that?
thanx in advance

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Good race shame about chip problem but it was sorted!In full: Race ran smoothly was a fast course, I didn't hang around long enough to comment about running out of hot drinks. There was a long queue though so more servers might have reduced that!I thought the goody bag was adequate for the entry price! The water, banana and sweets were welcomeAs for the timing problems it was annoying but a message to the chip timing company solved that and I now have my correct time! My time was initially out by around 40 seconds too!Date of review: January 31, 2014
In short: Great support from marshals and locals in the awful weather In full: I didn't really enjoy the race but that was down to the weather rather than the actual race! I found the off road sections difficult in the wet but on a dry day they wouldn't have slowed me down! I hardly noticed the hills and did manage a PB! The well done really has to be to the marshalls and locals that braved it to support! I was very pleased to see the finish!!!Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: scenic set of trail races with a distance to suit all!In full: I did the 50k and found it to be really well marked, the water stations were plentiful, it was well organised, great value, would definately do it againDate of review: August 28, 2012
In short: great scenic off road marathonIn full: I really enjoy this race, however bad things get the views make up for it! The race runs really smoothly from parking your car at the start to finishing! A couple of niggles though, although the t-shirts were a vast improvement on last years why were there no smalls sizes? I finished in the top 50% and was awarded a dress at the end, I don't have alot of use for a technical dress!!! The other small thing was that it might have been better to keep the tops on the bottles for competitors otherwise you may as well just use cups. I fell over with a full bottle and lost the lot towards the end of the race and had to struggle 4 miles to QE park with no fluids, fortunately it wasn't a hot day!Date of review: June 12, 2012
In short: great big city marathon with amazing crowd supportDate of review: April 25, 2012
In short: fast flat 5Date of review: September 18, 2011
In short: lovely race but tough on all that soft sand that went on for miles!In full: well organised tough race (my slowest marathon yet), a larger pool of runners would have added to the atmosphere and made the course easier to negotiate! Still I found a few people to plod around with,everyone was very friendly! Some of the course was quite hard to work out where to go and I believe some runners may have got lost! The aid stations were brilliantly stocked and I looked forward to my cup of coke at each one!!! Excellent quality T-shirt and medal at the end too, even if it did say 2012!Date of review: August 14, 2011
In short: Great raceIn full: I love this race, stunning scenery, great atmosphere (apart from one stroppy mountain biker), great organisation and some lovely hills! This year the weather couldn't have been more perfect! The only disappointment was the cotton t-shirt, I too was expecting a technical top!Date of review: June 12, 2011
In short: nice undulating course through the new forestDate of review: October 7, 2010
In short: beautiful challenging run with a few steps!Date of review: September 8, 2010

The military services and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) purchase spare parts to keep military equipment ready and operating. At the end of fiscal year 2009, the Department of Defense (DOD) reported that the total value of its inventory of over 4 million spare parts and other support itemsnot including weapons systems and other primary equipmentwas more than $90 billion. GAO has identified weaknesses in DOD's inventory management practices, including problems in accurately forecasting demand for spare parts. At a time when U.S. military forces and materiel are in high demand and the nation and military face long-term fiscal challenges, it is critical that DOD demonstrate good stewardship over the billions of dollars invested in its spare parts inventory while continuing to supply warfighters with the right items at the right time.
DOD can enhance efficiencies in the management of its spare parts inventory and potentially achieve significant cost avoidance in the future by aligning inventory levels more closely with current needs and projected demand. DOD has made some improvement in recent years but continues to consistently have higher levels of inventory than needed to meet current needs (called the requirements objective) plus projected demands over the next 2 years. DOD inventory data show that much of the inventory that is beyond current needs and projected demand is either retention stock (stock that is considered inactive but is being held for possible future use or for other reasons) or potential reutilization stock (stock that has been identified as "excess" and may be disposed of). These data include both on-hand inventory and on-order inventory that is not yet in DOD's possession. Some inventory items may be in such low demand that current supplies could last for decades. Acquiring large amounts of inventory for which actual demand is much lower than expected reduces the amount of funding available for other current military needs.
In a series of reports issued from 2007 to 2010, GAO analyzed spare parts inventory managed by the Air Force, the Navy, the Army, and DLA and identified factors contributing to higher-than-needed inventory levels. Most recently, GAO reviewed DLA inventory levels and reported in 2010 that DLA, over a period of 3 fiscal years, averaged $1 billion of inventory annually in potential reutilization stock. DOD policy requires that its components minimize investment in inventory while also providing inventory needed to support requirements, but several factors were causing DLA to order and stock parts that did not align with current needs and projected demand. These factors often occur in the initial stages of the inventory process when acquisition decisions are being made.
GAO identified similar issues in its prior reviews of spare parts inventory managed by the Air Force, the Navy, and the Army. In all three of those reviews, the predominant reason for mismatches between inventory levels and needs was changes in demand. In addition, Army data revealed substantial amounts of inventory deficits, where quantities of on-hand and on-order spare parts were not sufficient to meet current requirements. In prior reports, GAO also has addressed other aspects of inventory management, including problems with asset visibility, lead times for acquiring parts, and managing retention stocks.
GAO has identified a number of areas where DOD could improve the efficiency of its inventory management, while maintaining effective supply support for warfighter requirements. Since GAO's work has consistently shown that the greatest opportunities to minimize investment in unneeded inventory are at the initial stages of the inventory management process when acquisition decisions are being made, DOD could limit future costs by focusing its efforts on better managing on-order inventory, with a view toward reducing on-order inventory levels that are not needed for current needs or projected demand. For example, GAO found in its review of DLA inventory that the agency could benefit from efforts to (1) identify and evaluate planned purchases of spare parts that, if carried out, might result in the potential procurement of unneeded parts, and (2) take action to modify or cancel these planned purchases. Also, GAO has recommended that DOD address systemic weaknesses in demand forecasting, revise management practices to incorporate flexibility needed to minimize the impact of demand fluctuations, and track the cost efficiency of its inventory management processes. DOD has generally concurred with these recommendations.
Recent legislative action underscores the need for DOD to address inventory management weaknesses. Specifically, Section 328 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 required the Secretary of Defense to submit a comprehensive plan for improving the inventory management systems of the military departments and DLA, with the objective of reducing the acquisition and storage of inventory that is excess to requirements. The act directed DOD to address eight areas of inventory management. DOD submitted its plan to Congress in November 2010.
DOD states in its plan that it has already reduced unneeded inventory and that further reductions are possible. DOD has reported, for example, that $10.3 billion (11 percent) of its secondary inventory has been designated as excess and categorized for potential reuse or disposal. The plan cites a number of improvement efforts and establishes two broad goals for reducing (1) the value of on-order potential reutilization stock as a percentage of total obligated on-order dollars and (2) the value of on-hand potential reutilization stock as a percentage of total inventory value. DOD's plan is an important step in improving inventory management practices; however, successful implementation will be challenging and will require sustained oversight by DOD as well as collaboration among the services and DLA.
To assess the potential for DOD to achieve cost savings by better aligning inventory levels with requirements, GAO relied on its prior work as listed under the "Related GAO Products" tab.

The top 10 causes of death
The 10 leading causes of death in the world, 2000 and 2012
Ischaemic heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections and chronic obstructive lung disease have remained the top major killers during the past decade.
HIV deaths decreased slightly from 1.7 million (3.2%) deaths in 2000 to 1.5 million (2.7%) deaths in 2012. Diarrhoea is no longer among the 5 leading causes of death, but is still among the top 10, killing 1.5 million people in 2012.
Chronic diseases cause increasing numbers of deaths worldwide. Lung cancers (along with trachea and bronchus cancers) caused 1.6 million (2.9%) deaths in 2012, up from 1.2 million (2.2%) deaths in 2000. Similarly, diabetes caused 1.5 million (2.7%) deaths in 2012, up from 1.0 million (2.0%) deaths in 2000.

Eleventh Arthur H. Compton Award Announced
The Department of Energy's Advanced Photon Source (APS) and the APS Users Organization announced that the 2013 Arthur H. Compton Award will be presented jointly to David E. Moncton, John N. Galayda, Michael Borland, and Louis Emery. The award recognizes the recipients' visionary leadership and technical ingenuity in introducing "top-up" operation to the synchrotron radiation community.
Top-up operation has substantially improved both the intensity and the quality of the x-ray beam for experiments. The method is now used in most third-generation light sources worldwide and is integral to the design of new sources, such as the Diamond Light Source and the National Synchrotron Light Source-II.
"It has fundamentally changed the operational paradigm for all the world's synchrotron facilities," said Moncton." Facilities can now run at their maximum x-ray output all the time, significantly increasing the production of x-rays around the world. Perhaps more important, beam stability and operational flexibility have been greatly enhanced as well," he added.
The key issue that top-up addresses is the inevitable loss of stored electron beam, or current, in the storage ring. In the original APS operating modes, current was added, or injected, every 12 hours, and the current decreased 35% between injections, causing the x-ray intensity to decrease as well. This paradigm posed problems for users: X-rays were not available during injection, and the large drop in intensity was very problematic for many experiments because it introduced thermal errors and intensity variations and often limited the length of an experiment.
With top-up, injection is done every 2 minutes. The current drops only 1%, thermal and intensity transients are minimal, and x-ray production is never interrupted. The result is radically improved operation. Top-up provides higher average photon flux and better beam stability, while also stabilizing heat loads on storage ring magnets and beamline optics.
Furthermore, top-up also allowed changes to the storage ring that significantly reduced x-ray beam size (and thus increased brightness) and allowed new modes that support time-resolved studies. These changes—small emittance, small coupling, and fill patterns with few bunches—significantly decrease the lifetime of the electron beam in the storage ring, but because top-up continually compensates for gradual loss of beam, these much shorter beam lifetimes became practical. Thus, top-up opened the door to many new kinds of experiments that benefit from increased brightness and different time structures in the x-ray beam.
Two advances were crucial to the adoption of top-up. The first was to prove that current could be injected safely while the shutters that separate the storage ring from the beamlines remained open. There was concern that a failure of a storage ring magnet could send the electron beam into the x-ray beam pipe and thus into the x-ray optics, which did not have sufficient shielding. Borland and Emery conducted exhaustive studies to demonstrate conclusively that this could not happen.
The second advance was to minimize disruption to user experiments. Many users were initially highly skeptical, fearing glitches in their data every couple of minutes. "The team did an excellent job of minimizing such transients and documenting their magnitude to the users," said Mark Rivers of GSECARS/University of Chicago.
In their roles as director of the APS and director of the APS Accelerator Systems Division (ASD), respectively, Moncton and Galayda identified the critical developments for implementing and verifying top-up operation and advocated for it in the face of significant resistance from users. Borland, a member of ASD, carried out a massive tracking study of the injection process, co-opting many employee workstations after hours. Emery, also a member of ASD, did analytical studies of top-up safety as an independent confirmation, and led the technical effort to implement quiet, automated top-up, overseeing major improvements to many APS accelerator systems. Borland and Emery also collaborated to reduce the electron beam emittance (a measure of beam size) from about 8 nm to about 3 nm, employing top-up to compensate for the attendant lifetime reduction.
The effort began in September 1996, around the time APS began full user operations, and the first tests with shutters open were done in June 1999. In February and March of 2000, sympathetic users made their first tests during machine studies periods, then from June 2000 to June 2001, a week or two of top-up was offered to users during each run. Finally, in October 2001, top-up became the default mode, offered for 75% of user time.
The impact of top-up has been important across the spectrum of APS experiments. For example, protein crystallography and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) experiments have particularly benefited from stable beam intensity. "Top-up had a major impact on the quality of x-ray crystallography data, especially in the most challenging experiments," according to Andrzej Joachimiak of Argonne National Laboratory. For example, data collected soon after the implementation of top-up mode provided crucial information for solving ribosomal structures, work that was recognized with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009. The reduction of systematic errors has been important for low-count-rate experiments, such as inelastic and magnetic scattering. Finally, top-up allows APS to offer unique operating modes (such as 24-bunch and hybrid modes) that would be impossible without the improvements made to the injection process. "I can now do experiments which I could not do before," said Mark Sutton of McGill University. In sum, top-up has permitted remarkable scientific achievements and pushed synchrotron radiation sources to new levels of performance.

About the award
The Arthur H. Compton award was established in 1995 by the APS Users Organization (APSUO) to recognize an important scientific or technical accomplishment at the Advanced Photon Source. Compton was an American physicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1927 for discovering and explaining changes in x-ray wavelengths resulting from x-ray collisions with electrons, the so-called Compton effect. This important discovery in 1922 confirmed the dual nature (wave and particle) of electromagnetic radiation. A Ph.D. from Princeton University, Compton held many prominent positions including professor of physics at The University of Chicago and chairman of the committee of the National Academy of Sciences that studied the military potential of atomic energy. His position on that committee made Compton instrumental in initiating the Manhattan Project, which created the first atomic bomb.

Declaration of Independence
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the Continental philosophers. What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in "self-evident truths" and set forth a list of grievances against the King in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country. Text adapted from "On the Other Side" in the October 2004 National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) publication Social Education.

Wickenburg, Arizona, population 6,500, still looks much like the gold-mining town it was in the 1800s. It sits somewhere between faux and retro, 70 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix in the foothills of the Sonoran Desert. Prospecting for precious metals takes a curious combination of nerve and deep pockets. The same could be said these days for golf course development, especially when it entails an extensive real estate component. The impetus to build Wickenburg Ranch came from two veterans of the Arizona golf development scene, though this is the first time that William Brownlee and Wendell Pickett have dared to co-design a golf course and undertake an entire project on their own.

Chappell Autopsy Complete, Awaiting Toxicology Report
The Jackson County Sheriff's Department says the autopsy performed on Scott Chappell, who died in police custody June 13 is now complete. The medical examiner now awaits the return of a toxicology report, which could take 6 to 10 weeks.
Authorities responded to a call last Wednesday, concerned about what was described as erratic behavior on the part of Chappell, 44, a military veteran. Police and medical personnel determined Chappell to be a threat to himself or others, and attempted to subdue him with a stun gun, which they say appeared to have no effect. He died shortly after being placed in an ambulance.

Keeping snow off fire hydrants a wise effort
After a rather slow start, this winter has picked up steam and is turning into a fairly normal one across the region.
Included are some significant snowfalls in several areas, cold temperatures and windy conditions, which all add up to growing snowbanks and snowdrifts.
While the banks and drifts can provide fun for kids looking for something to climb during the winter, they are causing city and county snow removal crews to concentrate on clearing the roadways of snow to keep the highways and streets safe for motorists.
However, what can get lost in the snowbanks – literally – are fire hydrants, which may go unnoticed until they are needed.
In an effort to make sure the hydrants are accessible to fire crews in case of a house fire, the Ishpeming Volunteer Fire Department is once again asking residents of the city to "adopt a fire hydrant."
The fire department has encouraged residents to participate in this informal program for several years. There is no need to sign up for the program, simply grab your shovel and go find the nearest fire hydrant.
And not only does the effort make it safer for residents in case of a fire, it also helps out public works crews that seem to get smaller and have more work to do every year.
For those who have the time and inclination, it would also be a valuable service to perhaps seek out an extra hydrant or two in your neighborhood or elsewhere where you know elderly or other residents may not be able to heave shovelfuls of snow away from the hydrant.
Ishpeming Fire Chief Ed Anderson is also encouraging residents of other communities to pitch in and clear hydrants in their areas, which is certainly a good suggestion.
While we certainly hope there are no house fires this winter, there is always the possibility and assisting firefighting crews get water on the flames as quickly as possible could help keep damage at a minimum and prevent injuries to residents and firefighters.

Stock Futures Move Lower Amid Washington Uncertainties
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were sinking Monday with little economic data to trade on as the government shutdown continued, parts of the global market were closed for public holidays and U.S. politicians continued to negotiations on raising the country's debt limit and reopening the government.
"We believe this foolish game of chicken shows Washington lawmakers have a naïve sense of the economy and global markets," Craig Johnson, a Minneapolis-based senior technical research analyst at Piper Jaffray, said in a note. "We suspect markets will experience heightened volatility this week as the saber-rattling in Washington intensifies ahead of the projected debt ceiling limit being reached on Thursday."
Futures for the S&P 500 were down 13 points, or 11.4 points below fair value, to 1,686, while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were declining 110 points, or 100.11 points below fair value, to 15,065. Futures for the Nasdaq were slipping 18.5 points, or 19.03 points below fair value, to 3,207.
