Is this the course for you? Regular assigned reading and homework. Frequent unannounced in-class quizzes— some with clickers, some pencil and paper. Strict grading. Challenging, but I hope interesting.
Cheating Sorry to have to mention this, but it has been a problem recently. If I catch you cheating, for example, by copying homework or exams, you will fail the course and I will turn the case over to university authorities. University ruling: "Being copied counts as cheating, just as much cheating as copying."
Assignments: See class website Week 1 January 7 and 9. Readings: Harrington: Chapters 1 and 2. Complete readings by Thursday, Jan 9. As you read, do the "Check Your Understanding Exercises." Answers to these are found in the back of the book. You do not need to turn these in, but you should do them. Homework: Due January 19: problems 2 and 3 pp 49-50
Extensive game: Perfect Information Players take turns making moves. Each player knows the rules of the game and the payoffs of each outcome to all players. Whenever it is somebody's turn, he or she knows everything that has happened so far.
An Example:
Example: Incumbent and Challenger Incumbent firm holds a monopoly Challenger considers entering and sharing the market. If challenger enters, incumbent decides whether to fight him or share the market.
A possible outcome
Extensive Form Games with Perfect Information Example: The Entry Game Challenger Stay out 0 Challenger's payoff 1 Incumbent's payoff Challenge Incumbent Give in Fight 1010 Challenger's payoff Incumbent's payoff
Vocabulary for Extensive form games Decision Tree Decision Node-Specifies whose turn Branches-Options Terminal Node—End of play Payoffs—For each person at each terminal node. Strategy—What will you do at each decision node where it is your turn
What are strategies in entry game? For Challenger – Challenge – Stay Out For Incumbent – Give in if challenged – Fight if challenged
A Kidnapping Game Kidnapping is risky and dangerous, but could be profitable. Will victim's friends pay a ransom? If they do pay a ransom, why should you free the victim? If they don't expect you to free the victim, would you expect friends of victim to pay ransom?
Kidnapping Game
Vocabulary for Extensive form games Decision Tree Decision Node-Specifies whose turn Branches-Options Terminal Node—End of play Payoffs—For each person at each terminal node. Strategy—What will you do at each decision node where it is your turn
What are the strategies? Vivica has 1 decision node and two strategies – Pay Ransom – Don't Pay Ransom Guy has three decision nodes. A strategy specifies what he will do at each node. Example strategy: – Kidnap, Kill if ransom, Kill if no ransom – Kidnap, Don't kill if ransom, Kill if no ransom – Kidnap, Kill if ransom, Don't kill if no ransom – Kidnap, Don't kill, Don't Kill – Don't kidnap, Kill, Kill – Don't kidnap, Don't kill, kill – Etc.
Extensive form: Imperfect Information When you move, you don't always know what move the other guy has made. Often motivated by simultaneous move games.
Example: Copy cat game (matching pennies) Little brother wants to do everything that big brother does. Big brother is embarrassed by this. Wants to do opposite of what little brother does.
Big Brother Little Brother HT HTH T 0101 1010 1010 0101 Complete Information: Big brother moves first
What would happen? What would you predict if big brother moves first? What would you predict if little brother moves first?
Big Brother Little Brother HT HTH T 0101 1010 1010 0101 Incomplete Information: Simultaneous move Information set:
Clicker Trial Run A)Do you have a working clicker? B)No, I am just pressing the button on my ballpoint

The NOP study also revealed a belief that funding is biased towards cities rather than rural areas, and that people from the north think too much money is spent in the south.
Eighty-four per cent believe charity should begin nearer to home and more lottery cash should find its way into local community projects. And more than three quarters think they should have more say in where the money goes.
Two-thirds of people, questioned in the survey for the Somerfield supermarket chain, expressed disapproval over the Royal Opera House receiving lottery money.
While 85 per cent felt raising money for charities through the lottery was a good thing, 70 per cent were baffled by the criteria used to select recipients, and a similar majority wanted a greater say in which organisations received money.

The Genazzano Fathers' Association (GFA) is a group of fathers and friends who have the common interest of their girls' education at Genazzano FCJ College. As the father of a Genazzano FCJ College student you are automatically a member of the GFA, which lives through its creed: To Love, Laugh and Make a Difference.
The purpose of the GFA is to:
The idea of a separate Fathers' Association was the inspiration of Sr. Margaret Mary Kennedy. Following the tragic death of a member of the parent community Sr. Margaret Mary was concerned that men didn't have the personal networks needed in times of crisis.
Mr David Galbally was elected the first GFA President in 1991. Today the GFA has 67% of 900 fathers attending a GFA event, with 500 girls going on camp or attending an event with their father sharing magical moments and creating memories for a lifetime.
We are the envy of many and are regularly contacted by some of Australia's most prestigious private schools to understand the secret of Affinis – making connections whilst loving, laughing and making a difference as a Fathers' Association.
At the GFA, we run about 30 events a year and need the assistance of around 25 volunteers to co-ordinate events with the support of the GFA Vice-Presidents. With 27 events we need another 70 volunteers to make things happen.
Our focus with events is to ensure that we don't depend on the same few, and in accordance with our policy, if we don't have volunteers, these events are cancelled. Getting involved with events is fulfilling, rewarding and is a lot of fun building friendships with other fathers, as well as making a difference to our girls.
The Association also hold a number of camps and activities throughout the year.
We hold our monthly meetings during term, on the third Wednesday of the month at 8.00 pm in the College Boardroom, Wardell Building. The meetings are relaxed and brief, with refreshments. All are welcome to attend.
You can still be involved without attending meetings. If your details are on the GFA contact list, you will hear about activities relating to your daughter's year.
The GFA is proud to support the College by providing competitively priced fine wines available for purchase. Our selection includes:
All proceeds go to the work of the GFA to 'Make a Difference @ Gen'.
You can order your wines online.
For more information, contact the GFA President, Rob Bischof via firstname.lastname@example.com.
To love, laugh and make a difference.

The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir neither a choir nor mountain men are a Canadian quartet occupying similar roots-revivalist territory to American acts like The Boggs and Old Crow Medicine Show, attempting to disinter the dark country-blues spirit mined by the likes of Charley Patton, Robert Johnson and Son House. Their own material exhibits a similar kind of natural blues feel to Tom Waits. At best their songs are a whooping celebration of life that sounds as old as the hills and as deep and dark as the muddy Mississippi. - Andy Gill, The Independent

Homeless Dog Mom Is Terrified Of Being Rescued — Because She's Hiding Her Baby
Hope for Paws, a rescue organization in Los Angeles, heard about a stranded mom cat Petunia living on her own and stepped up to help.
She often visited a park where people sometimes fed her.
They drove to where she was usually seen and found her wandering around in a parking lot. She was a little scared of her rescuers at first, and took shelter under a nearby truck.
At one moment this closeness made her nervous, and she got up to leave. Eldad Hagar, founder of Hope for Paws grabbed her leg.
Even though she was still scared, Petunia also seemed to know that she was finally safe.
It didn't take long for rescuers to locate Petunia's baby, on a pile of leaves in some bushes.
They named the 3-day-old puppy Petals, and immediately brought her back to her mom, which calmed some of Petunia's anxieties.
Hagar was a little worried that Petunia might be hiding more puppies somewhere, and so he decided to see if Petunia would lead him to them. He brought Petunia to different spots in the area and played a video of puppies crying, which can make a mother dog's maternal instincts kick in.
As soon as she heard the video, Petunia led Hagar back to Petals every time, making him confident that she was Petunia's only puppy. He and the other rescuers then quickly rushed the mother/daughter duo to the vet to get the care they needed.
"Both Petunia and Petals are doing great," Hagar said. "Little Petals hasn't opened her eyes yet, but it should happen in the next few days. She is gaining weight and is quite happy to have her mom."
If you'd like to adopt a pet of your own, you can check out Adopt-a-Pet.com to get started.

DG 2-T1 Lion Robert Bain
Notes and observations from 99th International Convention
We had a great time at the convention. We left on June 19 and got home June 30 at about 12:30am. The trip home was LONG. 31 hours from hotel in Fukuoka Japan to home in Amarillo. I reposted a bunch of pictures from Patsy's facebook.
During my training sessions the underlying theme was LEADERSHIP. Not just for DG but for all Lions. Emphasis was given to LCI web site. All officer positions at the District and club level is described. One graphic that stayed with me is: Great training leads to great leaders leads to great clubs leads to great Lions leads to GREAT SERVICE to our communities. I know you have to read the information and maybe study some areas but its there to help all Lions become better at the position we hold and to be better leaders in our communities. Go to the Member Center and look around or type a search for what interests you. It's very useful information. Go there and play around,look at all you want or are curious about. You can change or hurt anything.
Another area of benefit is My LCI. You have different levels of access. Club Secretaries and Club Presidents have the most access. They are able to do all the monthly reports on line. I can look at the reports but can not change any of the information. You may be able to look at club information and some district information. It allows other club officers to look but not change also. Again go there and play around you can not hurt anything.
Remember the 1st Cabinet meeting is July 23 at Virgil Henson Activities Center WTAMU Canyon 9am. Officer training will be presented.
We will have a very special guest, Council Chair TJ Tijerina.
Every Lion is invited to come but let me or PDG Bill Craddock know the week before so we will have enough food for lunch.
When I finish the agenda, I'll post it on lionsdistrict2-t1.com for review. If you want something added to it let me know before July 20th.
HAPPY 4th of July and reMember Texas.

PDG Lion Lila Vars and PDG Bill Craddock will have training for Club officers.
Lion Gary Merriott (DistrictTail Twister) is working to have a Tail Twister Taste of
2T-1 contest "meal" on Friday night. Hopefully all the clubs will participate in this friendly competition. I can envision pieces of steak from Adrian, BBQ from Dumas and Sunray, hamburgers from Dimmitt , Friona and Wheeler, "german burgers" from Follett and Homemade Ice Cream from Wellington. We should find out the crowd favorites for "bragging rights" in our District.
All Lions in 2-T1 are invited to attend.
I still have not visited all the Clubs in the District but I will before the District Convention.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

ANOTHER CONCERN: If you want an updated and accurate District directory then your club secretary must get the PU101 filled out and submitted to International. To date 8 clubs have done the 101 and a big THANK YOU goes out to those secretaries. The printer (Dumas Printing) must have all information from me before I have to go to International Convention on June 19,2016. The printing must be finished before the 1st cabinet meeting on July 23.
Another big THANK YOU goes to PDG Lion Jim Wilson for posting and updating this web site. If you or your club has anything you want to post, please send to PDG Wilson firstname.lastname@example.com.
As all who attended the 2016 District convention will agree a good time was had and training was very helpful. Training was lead by PDGs Lila Vars and Bill Craddock. The meals were all very good. PIP Ross gave a very inspirational keynote address. The highlight of the convention as always were the Queens. All the Queens did a great job and all were great ambassadors for our clubs. The District Queen for 2016-17 is Amarillo Downtown's Queen Par Len Tial.
ReMember Texas and be sure to "ASK ONE" because we have great clubs and more members means more fun for the future.

"Eve of Gold Festival! Feelings Toward 'Vearth'!" is the 166th episode of the One Piece anime. Contents[show] Short SummaryEdit The crew analyzes the possible location of the city of gold. Gan Fall tells them a little more about the history of Upper Yard. The Shandia resolve their issues and plan to return back to Upper Yard and finish their fight so as to finally return to their original home. Long SummaryEdit The Straw Hats begin to make their preparation to find the City of Gold. Sanji cooked while Zoro, Chopper, and Robin go in search of ingredients, Usopp prepares to fix the ship and Nami prepares the plan. Gan Fall is still resting and recuperating from his injuries. Later the crew get together and Nami had a hunch and told them the possible location of the city of gold. Chopper also tells the crew of the flock of large South Birds who rescued them and how they were calling Gan Fall, God. Luffy thinking it was the same God asked if Gan Fall was the person he was to beat up and Usopp comically replied no. At the Shandia village, Laki apologies and that it was because of her, Kamakiri was injured. Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, and Sanji decide to have a campfire. Just then they were threatened by a pack of wolves who think the Straw Hats are there to take over their land. Nami punches the leader of the pack and settled the misunderstanding. The crew began the campfire and the party started. Gan Fall wakes up and Zoro thanked him for saving Chopper and Going Merry. Gan Fall then asked if they knew how Upper Yard came to be called the Holy Land. Wiper is angry at Laki since he thought she was distracted during the battle because of the Vearth. Gan Fall explains that the Sky Cloud cannot support plant life and Vearth is the yearning of every Sky Island person. Kamakiri explains that the warriors must return and continue the fight in order to return to their original home.

More info about our NY dental practice is presented here including thousands of original dental photos, over five dozen academic teaching videos and a library of our other content. In addition we also present our academic teaching programs (including our pre-dental internships and post-dental programs), dental philosophy (yes, we have a unique dental philosophy), dental practice management and health & wellness.
Our creativity and enthusiasm in dentistry doesn't stop with your treatment. That's why at The Center for Special Dentistry® we offer Creative Solutions for Complex Dentistry®.
Learn more of how we think and what we think about at our very unusual academic private practice. We have taught dentistry for over thirty years. For over a decade students from both Columbia University and NYU dental schools would spend time in our midtown Manhattan office and receive academic credit towards their graduation requirements. Though now inactive, this program was one of the most sought after electives offered at both of these dental schools. It was also the only program of its kind in New York State. Dr. Jeffrey Dorfman, the Director of The Center for Special Dentistry, created this program to teach students very high-end dentistry. Furthermore it provided dentistry to patients who otherwise could not have afforded it. Students were able to learn how to diagnose and provide treatment focused on high-end dental care. Repeat, this program is now inactive.
The dental philosophy behind this academic teaching private practice remains such that our patients become highly educated collaborators involved in understanding and choosing their own dental care.
- Sorry, but happily I don't have any gory dental stories to tell. Just good dentistry. Honest and intelligent too. I recommend Jeff Dorfman and think he is an excellent NY dentist. -- Debbie Ryan, New York
- About ten years ago I had a lot of multi-specialty cosmetic dentistry performed - over about 18 months - at The Center for Special Dentistry. I began quite close with Jeff Dorfman, his specialists and the interns. They are good people and I recommend them. -- Cosmetic Dentistry patient, New York, NY
- I have been a patient for about 25 years. Jeff is a wonderful New York dentist and my friend. I highly recommend him. -- Paula, New York
- I highly recommend The Center for Special Dentistry. I've had no problems with the work performed for me over 15 years ago. Great staff too. -- Thomas, NY

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/458,711 filed Mar. 21, 1990, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to railguns and, more particularly, to a symmetrical railgun having at least four rails.
Known railguns comprise a single pair of conductive rails that surround a cavity and are disposed parallel to an axis. In operation, an electrically conductive material is placed in the cavity, and a current source is coupled to the two rails. Current flows through the rails for forming a magnetic field, and a current path is formed across the two rails through the electrically conductive material. The magnetic field interacts with the electric current flowing through the conductive material for creating an accelerating force which accelerates the electrically conductive material in the direction of the axis. At the same time, a repulsive force acts radially outwardly from the axis.
The present invention is directed to a symmetrical railgun which produces a higher ratio of acceleration force to repulsive force than known railguns. In one embodiment of the present invention, at least two rail paris of electrically conductive material are arranged at the same direction from a symmetry axis. The rails are parallel to the symmetry axis and are spaced from one another at the same mutual peripheral spacing through insulators for defining a smooth and straight acceleration cavity for an electrically conductive material.
The rails are connectable at one end alternatingly to the positive or negative side of a direct current energy source via a switch. When the switch is closed, current flows through the rails for forming magnetic fields which, in turn, create forces which act radially inwardly toward the symmetry axis. These forces focus the flow of the electrically conductive matter toward the symmetry axis, thus bringing about a substantial reduction in erosion and/or ablation of the insulators located between the rails. Attractive forces also arise between opposite rails in addition to repulsive forces, and components of the repulsive forces are canceled by the symmetrical arrangement of the rails. As a result, the ratio of the accelerating force to the repulsive force will generally always be higher for a railgun constructed according to the teachings of the present invention than with known railguns with only one pair of rails.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing attractive and repulsive forces which arise among the rails when current flows through them in the manner according to the present invention;
FIGS. 6A-F are cross sectional views of alternative embodiments of railgun bodies according to the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view of a known railgun showing magnetic flux and a current path generated when in operation;
FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view of the inventive railgun according to FIG. 6B showing magnetic flux and current paths generated when in operation; and
FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view of the inventive railgun according to FIG. 6F showing magnetic flux and current paths generated when in operation.
1. The symmetrical railgun consists of at least two pairs of conductive rails. In the case of two pairs of conductive rails these consist of four rails, which are made from a material, which is electrically conductive. These rails are arranged equidistant from a given symmetry axis and extend parallel to this axis (FIGS. 1A-C). These rails are alternatingly connected at one end to the positive or negative side of a device for storing electrical energy via a switch.
The rails are separated by an insulator and there is a symmetrical cavity or barrel along the symmetry axis, which extends from the symmetry axis up to the rails. Prior to the operation of the railgun, which is initiated by the closing of the switch, the end of the barrel which is connected to the power supply is filled with an electrically conductive material. This material can be a solid conductive body, the shape of which remains unchanged or only changes a little during the course of the acceleration, or it can be a body (preferably a metal foil or an aluminum foil, the shape of which changes very greatly or completely during the acceleration. After the closing of the switch an electrical current flows through the rails and the conductive material which is placed between the rails. This electrical current interacts with the magnetic field generated by the electrical current flowing in the rails and also in the electrically conductive body and the electrically conductive body is accelerated along the symmetrical barrel parallel to the symmetry axis.
If the electrically conductive body is a foil, then the latter will be vaporized and ionized by the current flowing through the foil and a magnetic field arises around the rails through which current is flowing and around the current in the vaporized and ionized material. The interaction between this magnetic field and the electrical current which is flowing generates a force on the rails and on the vaporized and ionized material (plasma). This plasma is accelerated by this force in the direction of the symmetry axis of the gun up to the end of the gun opposite to the end to which the electrical energy supply is connected. This accelerated plasma can be used to accelerate a body which is for example not electrically conductive. For this purpose this body which is to be accelerated is so introduced into the symmetrical cavity at the start of the acceleration process that it is located between the foil and the end of the gun to which the acceleration process is directed.
The body should in particular be so formed that it can be moved slidingly in the symmetrical cavity prior to and during the acceleration process and at the same time seals the part of the symmetrical cavity in which the accelerated plasma arises from the part of the symmetrical cavity which lies in front of the body in the direction towards the end of the gun to which the acceleration process is directed.
2. The symmetrical rail gun of claim 1 comprises rails of electrically conductive material and of insulators. Copper or brass is particularly suitable for the rails. In particular the rails should consist of the same material and should have an electrical resistance which is as low as possible while having a high mechanical strength. The rails can have any desired and also non-symmetrical cross section (FIGS. 2A-C). The cavity extending along the symmetry axis can have any desired cross-section. This cross-section can in particular be symmetrical (see FIGS. 3A-D). The circular cross-section is preferably suitable.
The insulators between the rails are so constructed that the current can only flow between the rails in the cavity. The insulators are so constructed that they withstand the forces which occur between the individual rails and prevent bending or deformation of the rails. Materials are preferably used which have a high electrical resistance and simultaneously a high mechanical strength and in which the thermal ablation due to the accelerating plasma and also the abrasion by the accelerated body is small.
3. The rails of the symmetrical railgun of claims 1 and 2 are alternately connected to the positive and negative side of a store for electrical energy. The connection is illustrated in FIG. 1A. At least four rails which are alternately connected to the positive and negative side of the energy supply are necessary to form a railgun as a symmetrical railgun. The symmetrical railgun can also consist of more than two pairs of rails.
4. The means for storing the electrical energy for the symmetrical railgun in accordance with claims 1, 2 and 3 must have the characteristic that it can make electrical energy available in a very short time.
An electrical capacitor or a plurality of capacitors combined together into a battery of capacitors and which are connected via one or more switches with the symmetrical railgun are in particular suitable for this purpose. If this switch is closed then the electrical energy stored in the capacitor or in the capacitor battery (bank) flows into the railgun. The circuit for this system is illustrated as an equivalent circuit in FIG. 4.
A homopolar generator followed by an inductor or an inductive storage system which is connected to a sufficiently powerful power supply can also be used for the energy supply for the symmetrical railgun. The stored energy lies for both means of energy supply between 10 kJ and 100 MJ. The maximum potential which occurs lies between 100 V and 100 kV, the current which is flowing lies between 10 kA and 10 MA.
The discharge must be actuated by at least one electrical switch. This can contain an open or closed spark gap. A mercury vapor switch (ignitron) is particularly suitable. A short circuit switch can be built into the current circuit, as indicated in the equivalent circuit in FIG. 4. This switch is termed a "crow bar switch" in specialist language. This switch is closed when the current which flows to the railgun has reached its highest value. In this way swinging through of the oscillating circuit shown in FIG. 4 is prevented as far as possible. The duration of the acceleration process and the achievable end speed increase, and the degree of efficiency of the gun improves. Moreover, a reignition of an electrical arc at the start of the symmetrical railgun and also at the end of the railgun are strongly prevented hereby. This reignition would short circuit the electrical current which would otherwise flow through the electrically conductive body to be accelerated or through the accelerating plasma.
5. A symmetrical railgun in accordance with claims 1, 2, 3 and 4 has in particular the characteristic that, as shown in FIG. 5, attractive forces also arise between the individual guide rails in addition to repulsive forces. In addition components of the repulsive forces are cancelled by the symmetrical arrangement of the guide rails. For the same total electrical current which flows to the gun one half of the electrical current will flow per rail in a symmetrical railgun with two pairs of rails as would flow in a customary railgun with only one pair of rails and the repulsive force, i.e. the force which acts radially outwardly from the line of symmetry of the gun, is four times lower when the guide rails are approximated by current paths of any desired lengths than with customary railguns with one pair of rails, when the spacing of the two rails of a customary rail gun is the same as the diagonal D of the symmetrical railgun shown in FIG. 5.
At the same time the accelerating force on the body to be accelerated is only half as large in this case with the symmetrical railgun as with the customary rail gun with one pair of rails.
Thus, in this case the symmetrical railgun has a ratio of acceleration force to impulsion force which is twice as large. The ratio of the accelerating force to the repulsive force will generally always be higher for the symmetrical railgun because of its symmetrical construction than with a customary railgun with one pair of rails.
6. The symmetrical railgun in accordance with claims 1 to 5 can have different constructions depending on the particular combination, of rail cross-sections, as are for example shown in FIGS. 2A-C, and of cavity cross-sections such as are shown in FIGS. 3A-D. Six examples for such constructions are given in FIGS. 6A-F. A construction with a cross-sectional area of the electrodes which is as small as possible is particularly favourable.
7. The comparison of a customary railgun with a pair of rails and a symmetrical railgun with two pairs of rails is carried out in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.
All three arrangements are produced from a circular tube with the same outer diameter and the same inner diameter. The dimensions are collated in table 1. Together with the cross-sections and the arrangements of the guide rails there are in each case shown the magnetic field lines and also the electrical current between the guide rails which is approximated by a current path or several current paths.
The same total electrical current flows in each rail arrangement and then divide itself up between either two or four rails. The results of the computations are collated in table 2. They show that on comparing special embodiments of rails or rail pairs one can fall short of exceed the ratio determined under simplified assumption of the accelerating force to the repulsion force.
8. The symmetry of the rails in the symmetrical railgun leads to arrangements of magnetic field and current flux in the symmetrical cavity such as are shown in FIGS. 8 or 9. This results in forces which act radially inwardly toward the symmetry axis and which lead in the arrangement of claim 1 with an accelerating plasma to a focussing of the plasma flow to the symmetry axis. The erosion and/or ablation of the insulators located between the rails.

One Pot Jambalaya Recipe
Can you believe that it is officially Spring already? In my own, Spring time is probably the most hectic time of year. With sports, school, work, and getting the garden ready, it feels like I never get a chance to rest. Dinner has to be something quick and easy because of all of the crazy schedules, and anything that only requires one pot to cook in is my favorite time saver. This One Pot Jambalaya Recipe fits everything that we need. It is quick, easy, and yummy!
I can throw everything into a pot and serve. Lately I have been obsessed with the Green Giant Riced Veggies, and this recipe is perfect with it. The new Riced Veggies are made with 100% vegetables, so it has 70% less calories than traditional rice. I also like that there are no sauces included, so I can really make it fit any meal.

Sarah Clark, the 24-year-old Scottish light-middleweight, was a late entrant to the Tournoi de Paris, one of the toughest events on the judo circuit, but she justified her selection with a surprise silver medal, her first success on the international stage.
Only the greater experience of Lucie Decosse, the French 2002 European champion, prevented Clark winning gold.
Clark has lived under the shadow of the former European silver medallist Karen Roberts, but in Paris she showed she has greater range. She threw her first opponent, Anna Alexandrova, of Russia, and threw and then armlocked Emmanuelle Payet, of France.
The next two, Africa Gutierrez, of Spain, and France's Marie Pasquet, were also thrown. The silver medal gives Clark 50 points toward Olympic qualification and means she will now tour the 'A' Tournaments to gain sufficient points to ensure she goes to Athens.
The second British medal of the weekend came from Georgina Singleton, the 2002 European featherweight champion who has already qualified for Athens. The 27-year-old produced a bronze, beaten only by Xian Dongmei, of China.Reuse content

Deadly bombing mars new Nigeria poll attempt
A bomb blast ripped into a Nigerian election office on Friday, killing at least 10 people and wounding a dozen more just hours before a new attempt to hold a delayed ballot.
The explosion, and a political shooting in which four people died, shattered hopes of a smooth start to elections in Africa's most populous nation, holding its parliamentary ballot a week later than planned on Saturday because of logistical chaos.
Emergency workers said at least 10 people were killed in the explosion in Suleja, on the north-western edge of the capital Abuja. Ambulances ferried dozens of wounded to local hospitals, but there were not enough medics to treat them.
"That is my cousin," said customs officer Zayyed Saidu, holding back tears and pointing to the barely recognisable remains of a corpse at Suleja's General Hospital. The families of the dead and wounded wept and prayed outside.
"Nigeria has become a place where no one is safe. No we can't have elections. If elections should go ahead how will anyone know they are safe?" said Saidu.
Nigeria is due to hold parliamentary elections on Saturday, presidential elections a week later and governorship polls in its 36 states on April 26.
President Goodluck Jonathan, favourite to win the presidential vote, called the blast in Suleja a heinous attack and ordered security agencies to intensify efforts to protect the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
"He also urges all eligible Nigerians to resist all attempts to deter them from participating in the elections through violence... and to put the perpetrators of electoral violence to shame by turning out en masse," a statement said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing. The device exploded as Nigerians queued to check whether they had been picked to work as election officials, a chance to earn a little extra cash.

Harry Houdini died 80 years ago – yet he is still remembered as the greatest escape artist of all time. That is the power of personal branding. Will your brand survive 80 years after your death?
Why was Harry Houdini's personal brand so powerful?
He created a new niche – the escape artist. When you are first you are the standard. He was bold. He issued challenges to prisons around the world that they couldn't hold him. He was a showman. He dangled upside down from a crane over New York City while escaping from a Strait jacket and chains. He was provocative. The publicity photo of him that was most often used shows his muscular body almost nude draped in chains and locks.
He was creative. He started as a magician but differentiated himself as an escape artist. He invented new stunts and escapes. He made enemies. He challenged spiritualists that claimed they spoke to the dead.
He died under mysterious circumstances. This is an effective way of enhancing the brand. But you don't need to do this to build your brand. Yes, this method also worked for Elvis Presley and Bruce Lee.
Harry Houdini did all this and he died in 1926 – long before anyone thought about the concept of personal branding.
If you asked Houdini about branding he probably wouldn't have understood your question. But Houdini sure knew how to build his personal brand.
What can you learn from Harry Houdini, the world's greatest escape artist, about creating and sustaining your own personal brand?
