Allen G. Breed / The Associated Press
(Continued from page 1)
The Century 16 cinema east of the Aurora Mall in Aurora, Colo., where James Holmes allegedly killing 12 people and injuring 70 last July.
FOR MORE COVERAGE, visit our special section on the Boston bombings.
It doesn't feel that way, says Busch. Her cousin, Micayla Medek, was just 23 when she died in a hail of semi-automatic gunfire during a premiere for "Dark Knight Rises" at the Century 16 cinema last year. Busch listens in despair as politicians debate whether to debate tighter restrictions on high-powered weapons with high-capacity magazines.
"When you go through so much trauma, your perspective on life changes, your belief system changes," Busch says. "You lose your innocence and, at the same time, you go back to a point of innocence. ... It's like you just want to go home, and your definition of home is different."
Despite the tragedies the United States has faced in recent years, Ruben says the nation as a whole is "still at the stage of a great deal of naivete."
Ruben was two weeks old when her parents fled Iraq in 1950. She was going to high school outside Tel Aviv in 1967, when Israel launched a pre-emptive strike against Egyptian forces in what has come to be known as the Six-Day War.
"The Western mind cannot really perceive the will to lose life, to kill yourself, to send your children with a complete purpose of killing yourself and others," the 62-year-old New Jersey woman says. "This is a concept that is so foreign to the democratic American mind, even though 9/11 happened right in the heart of America. It raped America in such a violent way. I don't see that that is interpreted as something that really exists and can come to here and hit home in such a way — that it's an isolated case, that there are excuses for that, that they were disturbed people."
American parents have long warned their children "not to talk to strangers." In Israel, Ruben notes, television ad campaigns instruct kids on how to spot a suspicious package, and to report it.
Her two adult daughters live there now, and it is nothing to them to have their bags inspected or to automatically pop their trunks before driving into a mall parking structure.
"It's so much part of the culture, and you don't even blink," she says. "They know that they need to do these things in order to be safe."
Unlike Israel — a very small country virtually surrounded by people who deny its right to exist — the United States has friends to the north and south, and two oceans as a natural defense. But any sense of American invulnerability is an illusion, says Paul LaRuffa. The Hollywood, Md., man has a running discussion with a friend about how far government should be allowed to go in the name of keeping the public safe.
More than most Americans, LaRuffa has some real skin in the game.
On Sept. 5, 2002, LaRuffa had just closed up his Italian restaurant, Margellina, and was preparing to drive home when his car window exploded. A man shot LaRuffa five times at close range, took a briefcase containing about $3,500 from the back seat, and left the restaurateur for dead.
He was still recuperating from his wounds when a sniper (or snipers) began stalking the towns and cities up and down Interstate 95, turning the simple act of pumping gas into a game of Russian Roulette.
"I went through that whole paranoia," he says. "I was scared like everybody else."

Life's Fine Points
The World's finest pen makers are crafting works of art that fit in the palm of your hand
Edward Kiersh
From the Print Edition:
Susan Lucci, Sep/Oct 99
(continued from page 1)
But rather than feast on these accolades, Malaguti is hoping his "Mandela 80" collection trumpets such "a clarity in communication" that the pens "inspire people" and compel them to "rethink everything they once felt about Africa."
Unlike some other pen manufacturers, Malaguti can afford to be the romantic, as Omas doesn't have to produce profits for a conglomerate parent, or play a numbers game that has its pieces appearing in every airport and department store on the planet. He's able to remain loyal to his strictly maintained "culture of the hand" (hand-crafting) mentality, a commitment to limited production that impels Geoffrey Berliner to say that "Omas is the Rolls-Royce of fountain pens. It's unequaled for integrity, durability and performance."
Malaguti, though, isn't the only passionate penmaker. At internationally renowned Montblanc, a company esteemed for introducing collectible limited editions that soar in value like Internet stocks, Fred Reffsin, CEO of Montblanc North America, is also fervent about his newest "good life" trophies.
Insisting the Germany-based Montblanc is the market's "trendsetter," the penmaker synonymous with "prestige, unique technical innovation and quality," Reffsin is confident that the just-issued "Marcel Proust" will write a new chapter in the firm's obsessive devotion to "de-acceleration," or to a slowing down in life that "preserves the beauty of the moment." Montblanc opened its first flagship boutique, at 834 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, with a gala event in June. The store features the company's first "De-Acceleration Studio," a 1,800-square-foot "spa for the mind" where pen devotees can read, write and relax surrounded by rare books and writing instruments.
Such a philosophical bent is the beauty of writing with a fountain pen, and newcomers to this stylish world are advised that putting nib to paper demands a bow to Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, a mindset totally removed from the freneticism of day-trading on the Web. But despite Reffsin's best intentions, this thick, sterling silver $750 pen is the latest in Montblanc's "writer series" homages, following pens that have honored Hemingway, Voltaire and Edgar Allan Poe, and that limited-edition cachet invariably sparks a buying frenzy.
"Months ahead of its issuance, we already had a waiting list for the 'Proust,' for the investment values of Montblancs are like IBM and Microsoft: the market leader," says Fountain Pen Hospital's Wiederlight. "Montblanc is just magic when it comes to vintage, secondary market sales, especially with its 'Oscar Wilde' and 'Hemingway.' The 'Wilde' came out at $650 [in 1994] and is now $900, while I can't get enough 'Hemingways.' A spectacular piece, it was first $600 [in 1992], and has jumped to an amazing $2,200."
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of its signature black resin "Meisterstück" pen, Montblanc is offering four editions crowned with a small diamond, from the "Special Anniversary Edition" for $425, the "Limited Edition" with a rose-gold finish for $650, the sterling silver "Solitaire" for $1,500 and, exclusively in Montblanc boutiques, the "Limited Edition 75," a $13,800 stunner in solid white gold. Reffsin feels these editions epitomize the "revolution" in writing instruments, their becoming "a statusy hallmark on the order of fine jewelry." To further crown the "Meisterstück" line, Montblanc is unveiling a 75th anniversary collection of 75 transparent "Skeleton" watches and pens, crafted with 18-karat gold and mother-of-pearl.
"These watches are another sign of our devotion to living in the moment, and yet we're not sitting still," says Reffsin, 42. "As the limited-edition category leader, we felt an obligation to take stock of all that was wonderful this past century. That's why we made a 'retro' move with the 'Marcel Proust,' a safety-filler pen with a cartridge which is based on early 1900s technology."
Making its own statement of singular craftsmanship, Namiki also turns to the past for artful inspiration. Founded in 1918, Namiki employs painstaking hand-lacquering techniques dating back to the seventh century (called maki-e). This Japanese firm (which has been enlisted by the Vatican to style a millennium pen) will soon spotlight the solid gold $9,000 "Double Dragon Emperor."
The "Emperor" will probably follow the same august path as Namiki's $25,500 "Miyabi" series. Powdered in gold, and burnished with charcoal for extra sheen after receiving 10 coats of urushi lacquer, the three-pen "Miyabi" collection sold out almost immediately, says Namiki USA general manager Sal Esposito.

The inside was soft and smooth. 3 / 8 First Course What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We worked our way through the menu, beginning with a chilled avocado and pea soup, topped with smoked sablefish, shiso, and caviar. It was paired with J Vineyards's Brut Cuvée 20. 4 / 8 Second Course What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'd been enjoying the Smith-Madrone 2007 Spring Mountain Chardonnay on its own when a rolled salad of dungeness crab and avocado arrived. It came with a quenelle of lemongrass sorbet. 6 / 8 Third Course What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 My favorite course of the night — which I'm still dreaming about — was a gorgeous piece of Alaskan halibut prepared sous vide, served with asparagus, an avocado sauce prepared in the manner of hollandaise, and a poached quail egg to top it all off. I loved its unexpected red wine pairing of Mac Murray Ranch 2007 Pinot Noir. 6 / 8 Fourth Course What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Everyone devours a New York steak, like this one, which was wood-grilled, but what I enjoyed even more was Dommen's captivating topping of "chimichurri," prepared with avocados, cilantro, and garlic. The steak, and fresh corn polenta that accompanied it, was paired with a 2007 Skylark Grenache. 7 / 8 Fifth Course What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If there's anything I crave after a luxurious meal, it's a stellar dessert wine, like the 2006 Calera Mt.

Instead, I savored pastry chef Patti Dellamonica-Bauler's avocado ice cream served on the side.

Premiere: Lumerians - Tawazula
Stellular instrumental psych from the Oakland space rockers' new EP.
Oakland psych rockers Lumerians share the colourful video for their motorik new stomper.
Published: 17/12/12
"Trippy", "psychedelic", "kaleidoscopic" and any other shorthand terms usually attributed to psych groups is the order of the day on the new video for Oakland's Lumerians. Bloom is a solid rocker, sliding guitars tugged along its motorik groove and building up to a thrilling wall of sound crescendo. It's taken from their new EP, 'Horizon Structures', recently released on Knitting Factory Records, and follows the instrumental, spaced-out Tawazula.

CUPE Local 2081 collective agreement update
November 7, 2012
Camosun College and its support workers union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 2081, are currently in the process of negotiating a new collective agreement.
On Wednesday, November 6, 2012, CUPE informed the College that it would be taking a strike vote with its members on Saturday November 10, 2012. There have been strike votes taken at a number of institutions.
The College takes the vote very seriously but remains hopeful that resolution will be found. Taking a strike vote is one step in a process and does not necessarily mean there will be a strike. Negotiations can continue even though a strike vote has been held.
In addition, before strike action can commence, the union must serve the College with strike notice. Seventy-two hours must elapse between service and the time when strike action can take place. If a mediator is appointed by the Labour Relations Board, the mediation process must be exhausted before a strike can commence.
Job action by a union can take many forms, with varying impacts on our students and operations. For example, a union could work-to-rule, engage in an overtime ban, or organize selective or limited picketing. Accordingly, it is important to remember that the union can take job action in a number of ways short of a full strike, and it is important to note that the College remains committed to working with the parties to reach a negotiated agreement with our CUPE members.
The College's priority is to continue to work with CUPE and its members to maintain institutional and educational excellence. These are early days and we will provide updates as available.
Please note, that should there be any change in the College's operations we will let you know by posting information on the College web site.

As the name suggests, the South Lakes Wild Animal Park is a collection of some of your favourite animals house in a park that allows the majority of its inhabitants to wander freely. The focus is very much on conservation and there is a lot of information about work that the park does to help animals in the wild. Not to be confused with a zoo, there is hardly a fence in sight, the park has obviously made a huge effort to provide as natural an environment as is possible in this country.The South Lakes Wild Animal Park is located at the Southern tip of the Lake District in Dalton-In-Furness. To get there, you need to take the M6 to junction 36 and follow the signs for Barrow-In-Furness until you see the brown elephant signs that direct you to the park. I'll warn you now though it is a fair old distance around country roads once you have left the motorway, so you'll need to think of ways to entertain the kids before you set off! There is plenty of free parking on site, although it is in fields, so I would imagine it would be a pain in the rain or snow.The park is open all year round from 10am until 4.30pm and last entry is 45 minutes before the park closes, although I would say that there is far too much to see and that leaving yourself 45 minutes would be utterly pointless. The entrance fee is £11.50 for adults and £8 for concessions in summer and £8 and £5 respectively in winter. These prices do include a £1 gift aid donation that you are not obliged to pay. I think these prices are pretty much the norm for this kind of attraction and you will get a whole day's entertainment for the price. We actually managed to find coupons that got us 50% off which was fantastic value and just goes to show that you can find the deals if you look!If you particularly interested in the animals or are looking for a special gift for someone, the park does offer the chance to be a keeper for a day. There is a minimum donation of £100 for the experience, but you get all of your meals and snacks included as well as a memento of your day. I didn't do this, but there are a few testimonials on the website that indicate that it is a fantastic experience.The park itself is split into areas relating to the natural habitats of its fifty species of animals and this makes it very easy to walk around. It's rather like going around a safari park but on foot. The areas are Africa, Asia, Australia, Indonesia, Madagascar, South America and the Rest of the World. Within these areas you'll find all the favourites, including tigers, lions, rhinos, giraffes, penguins and monkeys as well as plenty of more obscure animals that you'll have great fun learning about. As I said earlier, the animals are housed in large areas that give them plenty of space to roam around and there are also many animals that are free roaming. For example, don't be surprised if you have to give way to a monkey and be sure to stop and feed the friendly wallabies.As with all places like this, you get the opportunity to watch the animals being fed. The keepers are excellent in educating you in a fun and engaging way, whilst they explain the natural habitat and food choices of their charges. Particularly impressive is the feeding of the endangered tigers. The food is placed at the top of very tall pillars and the tigers are then released to 'catch' their food. The keepers explain that this keeps them fit and reflects, in some part, their natural hunting techniques. Also not to be missed is the feeding of the penguins, which will have children of all ages squealing with joy. There is also chance to hand feed the majestic giraffes, which is not something to be missed.There are shops and cafes in the park, although the prices are what you'd expect – not particularly cheap. We opted to take a packed lunch and found that there were ample places to enjoy it – as long as you don't mind the odd peacock wandering past! Like I said, there are plenty of animals that roam freely. Many of them are just birds and things that have no interest at all in you. However some of the monkeys are more interested and will approach you – these are in an area that is enclosed within two gates that is easy to avoid if you want to. They aren't in the slightest bit aggressive although it can be a little daunting for smaller children.I know that many people have objections to wild animals being kept anywhere other than their natural environment, but the South Lakes Wild Animal Park really has done everything it can to make this area as natural and pleasant for the residents as possible. It makes for a fascinating, fun and very educational day out and gets top marks from me.If you need any more information, the website www.wildanimalpark.co.uk is very comprehensive and includes lists of the animals and maps of the park as well as details about group bookings and adopting an animal, so is well worth a visit.

Dear Friends of the Fight Hunger Bowl,
This is the craziest week of the year in the bowl business. Selection Sunday is only four days away, which means that bowl directors, conference officials, athletic directors and TV executives are in constant communication regarding team selection for the 35 bowl games on this year's schedule. With 77 teams now bowl-eligible (and three more with the potential to qualify this weekend), at least 7 teams will be left at home. So some intense lobbying is going on. Conferences are hoping to find a "home" for all of their bowl-eligible schools. Athletic directors are looking to secure the best possible bid for their teams; those whose teams are on the bubble are doing everything possible to find a landing spot. Bowl directors are trying to determine which teams will sell the most tickets, fill the most hotel rooms, and attract the most TV eyeballs.
Everything comes to a boil this weekend, beginning with the conference championship games on Friday (Mid-American) and Saturday(Pac-12, Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Mountain West and Conference USA). The final BCS rankings will be released Sunday about noon Pacific time. The top two teams in the rankings will be slotted for the BCS championship game, and the remaining BCS bowls (Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and Orange) will make their selections. Once those are completed--at roughly 1:00 or 1:30 pm Pacific time--the rest of the bowls start making their picks.
BYU: As you know, we were fortunate to be able to fill one of our slots several weeks ago. BYU finished its season last Saturday in Reno, coming from behind to beat Nevada 28-23 and notch win No. 8. We're very proud and excited to have an 8-4 team and a program of BYU's stature in our game. The Cougars' high-scoring offense is led by an emerging star, Taysom Hill, at quarterback, along with record-setting receiver Cody Hoffman and running back Jamaal Williams. On the other side of the ball, linebacker Kyle Van Noy leads a stout defense that has kept BYU in every game. BYU senior associate athletic director Brian Santiago and director of football operations Duane Busby were here Monday and Tuesday for their site visit to check out the game venue (AT&T Park), practice facilities (Laney College), team hotel (Westin St. Francis), and transportation arrangements (Horizon Coach Lines). Everything went very smoothly, and we're all looking forward to the arrival of the Cougars' traveling party on Dec. 22.
Pac-12: Last weekend's results clarified some things in the conference pecking order. ASU beat Arizona to clinch home field in the conference championship game. The Sun Devils, champions of the 2012 Fight Hunger Bowl, will host Stanford on Saturday evening with the winner going to the Rose Bowl. In other games last week, Oregon edged Oregon State in the Civil War, while UCLA won the battle of Los Angeles over USC. Ryan Oppelt, our asst. executive director, was in Seattle to watch the Apple Cup matchup between Washington and WSU. Ryan had the opportunity to chat with head coaches Mike Leach and Steve Sarkisian, and Athletic Directors Scott Woodward (Washington) and Bill Moos (WSU) about the Fight Hunger Bowl. The Huskies came from behind to win, 27-17.
Although things could change this weekend if Northern Illinois loses in the MAC championship game (thereby opening up a BCS bowl bid), or if one of our Pac-12 colleagues makes a surprising selection, we anticipate that Washington (8-4, 5-4), Arizona (7-5, 4-5) and Washington State (6-6, 4-5) will most likely be the teams that are available to us. All three schools are very appealing, as noted in previous updates, and we'd be honored to invite any of them to San Francisco. Our evaluation will be based on a number of factors, among them: overall record, conference record, head-too-head competition, fan base (do they travel well?), local alumni, results of Bay Area appearances vs. Stanford or Cal this season; recent bowl history; offensive capability; and presence of high-profile players.
Most of the college football pundits have predicted that Washington will be in our game, and the Huskies definitely are of great interest to us. Stay tuned. We will announce BYU's opponent on Sunday afternoon.

To keep the ``ho-ho-ho'' in the season, here five things to keep the holiday cook on schedule and full of good cheer:
1. Help the kids make treats for Santa. You think it's easy hauling toys all over the world? The big guy needs his strength. Leave him some vegetable sticks and a sweet treat from the bakery. And don't forget a bit of hay and shredded carrots for Prancer and Dancer and Co.!
2. Prepare an extra food gift for last-minute giving. At one time or another, we've all been in that awkward position of receiving a gift from someone we mistakenly left off our gift list. Your cupboard is probably stocked with a few ingredients that can be transformed into homemade, heartfelt gifts. Here's an easy idea for a seasonal concoction: cranberry and toasted almond sauce. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 stick butter over low heat. Add 1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted almonds; cook and stir until almonds are golden brown. Add 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup water; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have popped and released their juice. Cool 10 minutes. Pour into clean glass jars; seal tightly. Store up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. Attach a note with instructions to reheat sauce before serving and spoon over ice cream, cheesecake or spice cake. Makes 2 cups sauce.
3. Plan Christmas dinner and brunch. The big day is a next Wednesday, and the easiest way to turn from a holly-jolly celebrant into one mighty miserable elf is to get stuck in a quarter-mile supermarket line on Tuesday. Decide what to cook and purchase the ingredients by Saturday.
4. Buy snacks for unexpected carolers. The sweet surprise of carolers approaching from a distance can sound a sour note if you have nothing to offer in return for their musical gifts. Boxed cookies, apple cider or hot chocolate will probably earn you an encore or two.
5. Prepare a one-pot meal or casserole to freeze. If you are the household's head cook and you still have some last-minute Christmas shopping, prepare a fragrant stew in a slow cooker or have a casserole on hand ready to be reheated. That way, the rest of the folks in the household can feed themselves while you are out. Check out orlandosentinel.com/thedish today for two easy to make recipes.
Above all, take time to enjoy the rest of the season. Trust me, there will be no coal in your stocking for opting for store-bought over homemade food when time is short. The heart of giving and sharing is the sentiment.
What's in season. At farmers markets and in the supermarket produce section, look for avocados, bananas, bell peppers, cabbage, canistel, carambola, cauliflower, celery, coconut, cucumber, eggplant, grapefruit, guava, kale, kumquat, lettuce, mushrooms, oranges, papaya, passion fruit, pummelo, radishes, snap beans, squash, strawberries, sweet corn, tangerines and tomatoes.
At the seafood counter, shop for alligator, clams, mahi mahi, mullet, mullet roe, oysters, snapper, shrimp, Spanish mackerel, spiny lobster, stone crab and tilapia.
Deadline nearing for Foodie Awards. There's still time to vote in the Orlando Sentinel's 16th Annual Foodie Awards. The online ballot has more than 45 categories including fine-dining, wine list, breakfast, brunch, power lunch, food trucks, coffeehouses and bars that serve exceptional food. The results -- along with my picks -- will appear in the Calendar section on Jan. 31. All votes must be cast by midnight Dec. 31. So put down that fork and vote today at Orlando Sentinel.com/foodies.

The curly-haired blonde kept her daddy's secret as long as she could.
But she finally went to her mother in mid-October when she noticed she was bleeding.
The Groveland child is 10. She has five brothers and sisters, none of whom have reported being abused by their natural father. Yet. They're all in foster care now.
Lake County children have had one very tough year. The state Department of Children and Families is seeing more sexual abuse under more horrific circumstances than lawyers at the agency remember in recent years.
They find themselves skipping the niceties of trying to get families back together and instead asking judges to take the children permanently from their parents, freeing them for adoption. The Groveland fourth-grader and her siblings are among those.
Still, life must go on while the adults tinker with the fate of some 300 children in foster care in Lake County today. The lawyers deal so much with the sterile technicalities of abuse that they try to inject some humanity into the process. That's what the fifth annual "All for the Kids" holiday party is about.
Lawyers Kathleen Loftus and Stacy McDuffie-Warley sponsor the event that is open to every foster child in Lake and Sumter counties. It features a visit with Santa, a nuzzle from therapy dogs, arts and crafts, a visit by deputy sheriffs with cool equipment and delectable goodies from the Tavares High School's talented culinary students.
And — very importantly — gifts for every child. That is where you, dear reader, come in.
Kathleen and Stacy are starting to have just an slight edge of panic being able to raise enough money to pull off the event. Thanksgiving was late this year, so they have less time to solicit donations, and so many children came to the party last year that they have few leftover toys to get their pool of presents started.
The pair are desperately in need of toys and games for the young ones and gift cards and jewelry for teenagers.
The older kids also crave electronics, Kathleen said, which is unfortunate because the items are so expensive. They want disposable phones so they can buy minutes when they get a few bucks, MP 3 players and tablets.
"That's what they want so they can be 'normal,' like their peers," she said. "Little kids just want regular toys."
Of course, a Barbie doll with a horse — that's what the Groveland girl asked for — does nothing to vanquish the experience of being raped by a father. But Kathleen is right: Getting a present over the holiday helps to build a sense of normalcy, of stability, of fitting in. The child can go to school and chatter with her friends about her new Barbie. There is at least one way in which she's not different — she had a Christmas.
This child, in particular, is facing hellish new year. Her father, a tree trimmer, fled after her mother summoned police. He was picked up in a Walmart in Ohio by U.S. marshals and brought back to the Lake County Jail to face charges that could result in a lifetime prison sentence if he is convicted. Unfortunately, the child's mother has switched sides and now doesn't believe her daughter.
And guess who gets to be the star witness in this courtroom drama. Right.
Every child attending this party has a similar story of abuse, neglect or abandonment. There is the 12-year-old whose parents tried to starve her. She was 45 pounds when she first entered a public school, where teachers immediately called the police.
There is the 11-year-old girl molested by her brother. She has been in foster care for four years because her mother keeps doing just enough to prevent the court from taking away the child permanently.
The truth, however, is that mom has chosen her son, who is now 17, over her daughter, the victim. Mother and son live together in a motel room, and mom thinks it would be just fine for the daughter to move back in with them. In reality, no judge would let this little Leesburg girl move into a single room with her attacker.
Kathleen said that "more than anything else in the world" the girl, who is a voracious reader, wants a Kindle Fire. No Barbies for this kid. The lawyers' party is the only place she'll get any gifts at all because her foster family does not celebrate the holidays.
Care to help? Checks can be made payable to "All for the Kids" and sent to the address below, or a donation can be made directly to account 2528612084 at any branch of Well Fargo bank. All of the donations go directly to the children.
Unwrapped toys, books, new clothes, jewelry, electronics and toiletries for children aged 2 to 18 can be dropped off at Children's Legal Service, 1300 S. Duncan Drive, Building A, Tavares FL 32778. Be sure to look for the unlocked door. Only one in the building isn't secure. The deadline is Dec. 19.
This is a chance to let foster children know that the community cares about each and every one of them.

PhD (Toronto)
Free surface flows are ubiquitous in nature and industry. Nature provides us with many examples, including rainfall, river and ocean flows. Industrial examples are numerous. Spray-based processes include spray combustion, thermal spraying, spray forming, spray painting, powder production, spray drying, spray cooling, and agricultural spraying. Liquid atomization has many applications, including ink jet printing. And most applications involving the solidification of liquid metals (e.g. casting) include free surface flows.
While experiment may be the most direct avenue to studying such flows and developing such processes, it is expensive and time-consuming. As a result, the use of numerical modelling has become commonplace and will only continue to grow. The presence of one or more free surfaces, and the surface tension associated with these, complicates the analysis of such flows. Yet there are now a variety of algorithms available to model them, and algorithm development will continue.
My research interests include the following:

KINGSTON >> The Ulster County Legislature has three candidates for two three-year seats on the county Resource Recovery Agency board.
The three are current board members Charles Landi and Al Teetsel and former member Steven Noble.
Four members of the Resource Recovery Agency board are appointed by the Legislature's majority party, currently the Democrats. One member is appointed by the minority party.
Noble, who was appointed by a previous Democratic majority, was not reappointed in 2011, when Republicans were in control.
Landi, a Democrat who formerly was a Kingston alderman, was appointed when Democrats were in the Legislature minority in 2012. He took over the seat vacated by fellow Demorcat John Parete when Parete was elected to the Legislature. Parete now chairs the Legislature.
Teetsel, was appointed for a term that began in 2011, when Republicans were in the majority.
Noble was one of three board members who voted to fire Resource Recovery Agency Executive Director Michael Bemis, who was accused of bullying employees, sexual harassment, falsifying documents, favoring friends for agency contracts, illegal storage of waste items and manipulating policies for personal gain.
The agency ultimately settled a lawsuit filed by Bemis, who claimed the firing violated a contract, with an agreement to pay him $117,000 plus benefits he would have been paid through 2012.
Landi last week touted work by the agency board to produce a profit in 2013 after the county flow-control law was enacted. The law mandates that trash haulers in Ulster County bring their solid waste to an RRA facility and pay to dump it there.
Teetsel said he has not heard back from Republicans about being the minority appointee but has talked with Democrats about being reappointed.
"I spent 40 years in the financial business world, and I came to that board bringing my financial and management skills to that board," he said. "I don't look at it as a Democrat, Republican, Conservative or independent. I look at what I need to do from a business perspective."

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the ever-changing sports business landscape in Wisconsin and around the country
The Dairyland greyhound problem
Groups that have spent years working to place greyhounds from Dairyland Greyhound Track in Kenosha in homes around the country are still reeling from Friday's announcement that would give kennel operators $5,000 to move their dogs out by Feb. 5, 2010.
The groups, particularly the Greyhound Alliance, have called the cash offer from Dairyland owners "by far the most anti-adoption position ever taken by a track, resulting in a dismal future for very many greyhounds."
And what is that dismal future? According to the Web site, and a followup interview with Linda Cliffel of the Alliance, it "generally means moving the dogs out to low-grade tracks such as Caliente Mexico, where greyhounds rarely survive, or back to the farm which often results in euthanasia."
"They could not be more anti-adoption," Cliffel said.
Cliffel also is unhappy with the state's Division of Gaming, which regulates the track. State negotiators worked with Dairyland owners on the cash incentive and touted it in an announcement early Friday night.
"They are as compliant and bad as the track," Cliffel said.
Cliffel said there was little doubt the kennel operators will take the money. After years of little income from racing and with the prospect of unemployment looming when the track closes after races on Dec. 31, kennel operators need the money.
Ellen Paulus of the Wisconsin chapter of Greyhound Pets of America, isn't happy with the turn of events, either. Moving all of the dogs out by Feb. 5 will be a difficult undertaking, she said.
"This complicates what work we have in front of us," she said.
Paulus conceded that some kennel operators and/or their owners could very well take the dogs off the track, and send them away without being adopted.
Will some of those dogs end up dead?
"That can always happen," Paulus said. "Is Wisconsin a 100% adoption state? No. But we plan to place as many as we can."
She added: 'It's very important to work with the people to get the dogs moved."
State Gaming officials say they will track the greyhounds to make sure they are safely removed and given the proper care.

This makes me sick. I am far from an animal lover, but the way that the State has handled has been atrocious. From blocking any chance of putting a casino in Kenosha to agreeing to a Doggie Death Sentence, I am embarassed with how this story has been progressing for the past few years.
This is troubling indeed. I feel so frustrated by this story I could pull my hair out. I own two greyhounds, our house couldn't handle a third... they are such sweet loving and gentle dogs that it rips my heart out to see how this is all going down.
I tell everyone I meet about greyhound adoption and where to go to get information. I am worse than a Jesus freak. (even though I'm one of those too.) :)
The truth is, it just takes TIME to get a whole bunch of dogs placed. Time to process adoption forms, Time to do home visits, TIME TIME TIME. Our group would continue to work our butts off to get the dogs placed... it's not lack of effort... it's simply TIME!!!
This whole thing is taking away the very thing adoption groups need the most... extra time to get all the dogs homes.
Shame on you Dairyland.
Thank you Linda Cliffel for your efforts and passion in saving these dogs and for exposing what's going on in the process of closing Dairyland. Dairyland and the State are dangling a bone in front of the Dairyland kennel owners (who really need the money). They came up with a grand total of $60,000 to pay off the kennel owers ($5,000 each for 12 kennels). I'll bet some of the cars management at Dairyland drive cost more than that. In place of the State working with Dairyland, they should be enforcing the laws, holding Dairyland accountable and working with the Greyhound adoption groups. How much money is Dairyland going to make with their New Year's Eve party on December 31st when they've held on to the dogs until the very last day for racing? If I were the Tribe who are seeking approval for the casino, I'd be awfully upset with Dairyland in getting this bad PR. It's not good for future business. Dairyland needs to do the right thing by extending the February 5th deadline and then paying the kennel owners after the adoption groups are finished with their job. This State also needs to change some laws. They view pets as only being worth what was paid for them, like livestock, yet we spend more than what we've paid for them at their vet's annual check-up. Something's very wrong here. Linda, keep up the good job and please keep us up-to-date.
This is not a surprise coming from the worst managed track in the country. Unfortunately some of these dogs will be sent back to their owners farms and will meet an unkind ending.
I've been very deeply upset that the Dairyland dogs are being essentially "dumped" because they are no longer making money for their owners. I have no problem with greyhounds racing because they are bred to run and love it, but the owners should be required to adopt out retired dogs or pay to care for them for the rest of their natural lives.
We've been wanting to adopt a greyhound for a long time, but it had never been the right timing until now. We're going to meet our new dog on Saturday! Thank you Greyhounds Only!

The Tamale House on Airport Boulevard is one of Austin's best kept secrets. To prepare you, it's a total hole-in-the-wall, with years of grime and ground-in dirt lining the walls and floors. Second, there are only a few tables, so likely you won't get to sit down here. Finally, there are no actual tamales on the menu. But the food on the menu is so good and so cheap, long lines of laborers, students and hung-over hipsters line up out the door just about every morning. Luckily, the management keeps things moving quickly and, again, the food is so good and so cheap.
To avoid the lines and find a seat, we advise getting there before 10am when the hipsters descend in droves.

La PedreraThis was just "okay" for me. Gaudi is amazing, no doubt, and the building is phenomenal, but all I really need is to look at it. Inside there is a lot of information about the building and how it was constructed, so I highly recommend it if you're into that.Inside you also get to see one of the apartments—they're so big! I could stand to live like that.The roof is beautiful with all the stairs and the chimneys. The views are phenomenal—be sure to check out the Sagrada Familia, which you can see towering above the rest of the city.If you're on a budget, not a student, and don't really care about architecture, just glance at the building and walk on. You can see great views of the city from other places.

Caixa Catalunya is a large bank and the foundation's exhibition hall was opened in La Pedrera in 1990. Since then it had temporary exhibits of works of Chagall, Dalí, Giacometti, Dürer, Goya to name just a few and joint exhibitions based on artistic movements or historical periods, like this one - From Ingres to Bonnard.
This exhibit gives a retrospective of perception of human figure in the French art of the 19th century from Ingres to Bonnard. The 19th century has seen many styles: neoclassicism (the style of Ingres and Boilly), which was exiting as the century was starting and making room to romanticism in everything: art, literature and architecture, shown in this exhibit by paintings of de Gros, Corot and Redon; then came realism of Courbet, Millet, Daumier, and the century ended with impressionism and post-impressionism represented here by works of Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Rodin, Cezanne and Bonnard. The exhibit shows constant search of form and expression all through the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, which will lead to the different art movements of the century that just ended with avant-garde being one of the brightest.
From journal Travels to Spain - Barcelona, Part I
Open: Mon-Fri 10 am – 8 pm, closed Jan 1 and 6, second week in January, Dec 25 and 26
Prices: 7 euros – adult, 3.50 euros – students and senior citizens, or use Articket that allows entrance to 6 art centers of Barcelona for 15 euros.
One of Gaudi's most amazing and ground-breaking creations, this large building, which occupies a 10,000 square feet piece of land, is usually called by the locals "La Pedrera" (the quarry) since they were astounded by its shape. Antoni Gaudi is considered the most famous Catalonian, and his whole life was devoted to architecture. When he was killed by a tram in 1926, half of Barcelona attended his funeral.
Casa Mila was built in 1906-1910 and it looks like sea waves brought white sand (actually limestone) with it and 8 floors were built. Each balcony is decorated with interesting ironwork, very unusual in shape. This can be called an enormous sculpture so unorthodox it is even by our current standards. Inside the courtyard the outside walls of all the 8 floors are painted with bright green and purple flowers (the colors slightly faded over the years) and look like a fusion of Art Nouveau and Modernism. This was the first building in the world with the underground garage.
You get a tour of the apartment on the top floor, where you can get by one of the two elevators. The apartment takes up a whole floor with living room, dining room, bedroom, nursery, bathroom, kitchen, sewing room, children's room and maid room. In all the rooms the original furniture in Art Nouveau style (that also has baroque features) was designed by Gaudi. Also very interesting are children's toys: dolls, wooden horse, moving pictures on the lamp. Then you walk a flight of stairs to the roof, but before you go all the way on the roof, there is a large exhibit that shows different models and stages of construction of Casa Mila as well as a retrospective of buildings designed by Gaudi both in Barcelona and elsewhere. The roof is definitely unlike anything you've ever seen before or could even imagine. The heater ducts and chimney pipes are enclosed in the large sculptures that look like crosses that Gaudi slightly twisted about their axis. Also from the roof you can see the spears of Sagrada Familia and the amazing silhouette of the Museu Nacional de Catalunya.
An added bonus during my visit to Casa Mila was an exhibit "From Ingres to Bonnard" of 60 paintings and sculptures from the collection of the Petit Palais Museum in Paris (through May 11, 2003) organized by Fundacio Caixa Catalunya.

Next you go into the apartments, which are split by half museum and half representation of life in the 1920's in Spain. The rooms are very small and the corridors can get quite crowded with visitors. There are many stairs which lead to the rooftop, but the climb isn't impossible. There is a gift shop on the lower level, and you are required to leave any bags at the coat-check.

I'm standing on the bank of Eagle Creek in Zionsville with the overcast sky above me. Guide Mike Exl stands to my right, out of reach of the sharp hook I'm flinging through the air. I pull my arm back, looking behind me as I cast. When the hook goes all the way back, I cast forward into the water releasing the line. I am on the prowl for a lone carp that is feeding in the water in front of me.
This is my second time fly fishing. I grew up with a dad who took me fishing in a creek by my house every summer and a brother who has been a fly fish guide in Wyoming and fishes every chance that he gets. I learned that there is a special passion behind fishing, and especially fly fishing. I had been fly fishing in Wyoming, but never in Southern Indiana. I was curious what was here and if it would be as exciting as out West. I was also curious about the angler and what motivated him to spend hours on top of hours throwing a line out, when he could come up empty handed.
Most people think of Montana and Wyoming when they hear fly fishing, but how does Indiana compare to other states in fly fishing? We have ponds, rivers, lakes and creeks. All of these bodies of water hold various fish, such as largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and steelhead. Out West, it's mostly trout. However, you don't need to travel to Montana because home can offer so much.
I soon found myself talking to Ben Shadley, an avid fly fisherman and senior writer of the Indiana DNR's Outdoor Indiana magazine. Shadley grew up traveling to rivers and ponds in Southeast Indiana to fly fish. According to Shadley, Sugar Creek in the Crawfordsville area, Lake Monroe near Bloomington and the White River near Indianapolis are three places that are great areas in Indiana to fly fish. He's also worked at fly fishing shops in Indianapolis and Bloomington.
I left my house at 8 a.m. to meet my guide. Mike Exl, 25, works for Wildcat Creek Outfitters in Zionsville, but he takes people fly fishing all over the state — and well beyond. Mike's face captures the excitement of a child when he says that when he gets any chance, he fly fishes at Eagle Creek.
He gives me a few tips before we head out to the creek. "Be patient," he says. Fishing is fun, but it takes time to pick up. Depending on how much the fish are biting, you may or may not catch too many. "Always, always have a fishing license on you. The Indiana DNR can confiscate gear if you don't and you will be fined," he warns.
The carp I'm trying so hard to catch this morning isn't what most anglers are after. Mike says smallmouth bass and largemouth bass are Indiana's prized game fish. But those fish weren't always available here.
Smallmouth bass were spread throughout the United States by the rail system in the early 1800s, and today, they can be found in most Indiana streams and rivers. Largemouth bass are sought after because they put up a fight and are readily available. They can be found in most of our ponds and lakes. Shadley says Indiana has always been a good source of fly fishing.
Like any sport, there are certain fishing no-nos. Number one on Mike's list: lightning. He recalls a time that he was on a boat with some friends and a flash lightning storm appeared. A metal boat, water and lightning are never a good combination. Although they weren't injured, he says fishers should always keep a close eye out for storms. Mike also says you should be careful of where you fish. Watch out for private property areas and stick to Indiana-owned ponds. The DNR lists areas that are accessible to the public.
Mike leans his rod against his car and grabs a tacklebox of flies. Around his neck he wears extra line and the equipment he'll need to cut it. The wind picks up, and before either of us can grab the rod, it tumbles to the ground with a thump.
"Nice," a fellow guide says to Mike with a chuckle.
Mike looks up and shakes his head.
"Hey, I saw a 22-incher the other day," he says as he picks up the rod.
They continued to talk with one-word phrases that might as well have been German to me. Around his neck, Mike is wearing a lanyard necklace. Most anglers sport a lanyard so that everything they need is within reaching distance. The lanyard includes clippers to cut a fishing line, forceps to bend the barb of a hook or get the hook out of a fish and line that keeps the fly on top of the water.
The wind is a little chilly as it rips through my long-sleeve T-shirt. It looks as if it will start raining at any time. I cast back too quickly and the hook tangles around my rod. Mike walks over to help and then throws the fly back into the water.
In bait fishing, the lure is weighted. However, in fly fishing, the weight is the line so you have to cast back and forth to get the line out. The flies used in fly fishing are meant to mimic a bug in hatching season. Sometimes you must use a distinct pattern because that is what fish will be eating. Anglers both tie and buy their flies because it can be time consuming. Mike says it takes between five and 10 minutes per fly. Tying flies is considered an art among anglers. When personal flies are made, they are kept a secret — anglers' superstition. They don't want everyone to know.
The next time I cast, the hook falls in a heap only a few feet in front of me on the water. I start to laugh.
"Any pointers?" I ask. He gives me advice on timing and making sure the line goes all the way back before I pull it forward. I thank him for the pointers and he thanks me for listening.
Mike learned early on not to take things personally when it comes to fly fishing. When he takes people out on guided trips, he is used to skepticism about his age. He graduated from Purdue University in 2009 — right around the turn in the economy.
"Luckily I had this job that turned into a full-time job. It has also given me the opportunity to travel places that I might not have been able to go otherwise," Mike says. Wildcat Creek Outfitters leads guided trips not just in Indiana, but all over the world. The hosted travel trips go to places like Michigan, Ohio, Montana, Chile, Argentina, Canada, Alaska, Mexico and the Bahamas.
There is a certain camaraderie that comes along with fly fishing. Mike remembers a trip to Chile in 2009 with his father — it was a "last hurrah" trip before he graduated from college. He recalls a picture of him holding the biggest trout next to his dad and the experience they had. Ben Shadley has a similar story about fly fishing. "In general the most memorable times fly fishing have been with my father as a young guy. The camaraderie growing up and times spent bonding over fishing has become sentimental, not the specific accomplishments," Shadley says. Fly fishing allows for a common bond among people as they cast toward what they hope will be their next big catch.
I'm not sure Mike and I are bonding as I cast again and this time the hook gets caught on a rock. I apologize over and over, but he laughs it off and says that it's okay because he's only been hooked three times. Only three times? He has been hooked in the back, ear and under his thumbnail. The thumbnail was the worst, he says. He was 16 years old, and he told his mother that they needed to go to the ER. But, before they made a trip to the hospital, she wanted to see if his father could get it out. He tried to sit still as his father attempted to pull it out with some pliers. Without any luck, they finally went to the hospital.
Some people believe that fly fishing takes more of a delicate approach than other types of fishing. It's seen as more of an art, resulting in various casting techniques among anglers. Shadley's best advice: "Don't worry about fly fishing technique and definitely don't stress. This method is related to an old angler thought process, but the whole point is to catch fish. Don't spend your time worrying about what other people think of your technique." Mike advises fishers to watch the cast all the way through to find flaws — technique will develop over time. There are always people willing to help or give advice on casting. Most anglers would be more than happy to share their insight on perfecting the cast.
I cast back this time, and it feels right. I pull forward and the fly lands in the water in front of the carp. Exact location. Mike gives me an excited smile, but stays silent knowing that the fish can hear us.
"I think he's going to bite," he whispers.
I stand there for a few minutes before Mike says, "Set the hook, set the hook!" We had been so busy talking about preparing to fish, that I hadn't asked what to do if I actually had a fish bite. The carp pulls on the fly and swims away as I try to figure out how to set my hook.
"That was awesome," Mike says as he walks over. He tells me that he has been out with people when carp won't even take a bite. He explains how to set the hook.
We try to look for a fish somewhere else. We walk for a few minutes before stopping at another area. I look out at the water but don't see any movement or fish. "There are some bluegill out there, but with the trees behind us there is no way to get a cast out," Mike says.
"You're magic," I say. He can spot fish so easily. He laughs and tells me that that he has polarized sunglasses. Mike says once he was out on a boat and saw people fishing in a foot of water, but they had no idea because they couldn't see.
"You don't want to be that guy, but I had to ask, 'Catch anything yet?'"
"'No, not yet,' was always the response."
The rain starts to come down as we decide to call it quits. I walk away reluctantly. I really wanted to catch a fish. After spending a few hours on the water with Mike, it's easy to see why fishing can be so infectious. It's the thrill of what might be caught, along with the camaraderie and stories shared. This summer you can expect to see me trying out my flycasting skills on Sugar Creek, until I finally catch that fish.
