An Optical Mirror Mount is a device used in optics research that securely holds a mirror in place while allowing for precision tip and tilt adjustment. Due to the sensitive nature of optics research, optical mirror mounts are typically mounted to an optical table to provide a high level of vibration isolation. Mirror mounts can be adjusted by hand with a micrometer head or adjustment screw, and can be motorized for automation by using a linear actuator. Adjustment mechanisms include Kinematic, Gimbal, and Flexure.

Below we will cover many of the considerations that go into the design of an advanced optical mirror mount. The adjustment mechanism is a good place to start.
Kinematic mirror mounts are, by far, the most common type, owing to excellent stability and relatively low cost. The kinematic mechanism is the best for providing the required performance for the vast majority of experiments performed in labs today. It does, however, have drawbacks: cross-coupled adjustment, beam translation and limited angular travel. The location and orientation of the axes of rotation are usually behind the optic and non-stationary. This causes the axes move with every adjustment such that they do not stay orthogonal to the optical axis, so cross-coupled motion occurs during adjustment. Secondly, since the axes of rotation are behind the optic when adjustments are made, both rotation and translation of the optic occur. Finally, the angular travel range of most kinematic mounts does not exceed +/- 10 degrees due to the physical limitation of the springs and adjustment screws used. The limitations in the kinematic mount incentivized the creation of the gimbal mechanism which overcame these problems.Any optical mirror mounts position can be defined uniquely in terms of six independent coordinates - three translations and three rotations, with respect to some arbitrary fixed coordinate system. A mirror mount is said to be kinematic when the number of degrees of freedom (axes of free motion) and the number of physical constraints applied to the mount total six. This is equivalent to saying that any physical constraints applied are independent (non-redundant). A kinematic optical mount, therefore, has six independent constraints.The most common type of kinematic mount is the cone, groove, and flat mount schematically illustrated in Figure 1. Consider the optic as being attached to the coordinate system of the three spheres in the figure and its corresponding mount having the cone, vee, and flat. If the optic is first seated in the cone, three degrees of freedom (x, y, and z translations) are eliminated without redundancy.At this point, the optic can still rotate freely about all axes. Next, the second sphere is seated in the groove, which is aligned towards the cone. This constrains or eliminates two more degrees of freedom, pitch and yaw, as shown in the Figure. The alignment of the groove towards the cone is important in order not to over-constrain one or more of the translation degrees of freedom. Finally, there is only one degree of freedom left to constrain, roll about the x-axis. This is accomplished by seating the third sphere on the flat. Six non-redundant constraints make this a kinematic mount.The advantages of a kinematic mount are: increased stability, distortion free optical mounting and, in the case of a kinematic base, removable and repeatable re-positioning. It is easy to imagine with the mount of Figure 1, that the plate containing the cone, vee, and flat could thermally expand at a different rate than the optic without introducing any distorting load to the optic. The mount would simply expand about the ball and cone. The second and third balls would both slide on the groove and flat, respectively. If, on the other hand, the mount were non-kinematic (for example, if the groove were rotated 90° about z) as the plate expanded or contracted along the x direction, it would tend to warp the optic since the second ball could no longer slide in the groove.
It is common to make kinematic mounts adjustable, by attaching a screw drive to the second and third spheres (Figure 1) to provide angular adjustment of the optic with respect to the base. This is the basis of design for Newports Kinematic Mirror Mounts. One drawback to this type of mount is the location and orientation of the axes of rotation of the mount. They are usually behind the optic and non-stationary. That is to say that the axes move with every adjustment. This introduces two problems that must be overcome. First, since the axes move, they do not stay orthogonal to the optical axis, so cross-coupled motion occurs during adjustment. Rotation purely in one of the directions orthogonal to the optical axis requires adjusting both axes of the kinematic mount. Secondly, since the axes of rotation are behind the optic when adjustments are made, both rotation and translation of the optic occur. Use of a gimbal mount eliminates both of these problems.A gimbal mechanism has axes of rotation which are orthogonal and fixed in space. The rotation axes are made to intersect at the center of the front surface of the optic in the mount which not only allows for non-coupled rotation adjustment of the optic, it also eliminates beam translation as shown in Figure 2. Gimbal mounts also have travel ranges that are significantly larger than their kinematic counterparts. Since the rotation is typically guided by an axel, many gimbal designs have a full 360 degrees of angular travel in both axes. Mounts using the gimbal mechanism, however, tend to be larger more expensive. As a result, hybrid designs combining the best attributes of kinematic and gimbal mechanisms have immerged which have the stability and lower cost of a kinematic design and avoid cross coupling and beam translation.
A flexure is a positioning mechanism which uses the elastic deformation of a material to provide angular translation. Mounts which use a flexure mechanism benefit from compact size and resistance to shock owing to welded unibody construction. For this reason, flexure mounts are popular for incorporation into instrumentation and other such systems. The flexure mount has limited travel range, typically half that of a kinematic mount and is more susceptible alignment drift from temperature fluctuations.
Mirror mounts with Allen-Key drives are used for set-and-forget applications where few or no follow-up adjustments are made. The lack of a knob helps to discourage unwanted tampering. Allen key adjusters can be adjusted in tight locations where a persons hand is too large to fit and can also be offered with typically lockable versions.
Mirror mounts with Knob drives should be selected for applications where frequent adjustments will be made. Keep in mind that the diameter of a knob affects adjustment sensitivity. Larger diameter knobs, provide better sensitivity but also take up more space. We also offer Actuator Knobs that can be attached to an Allen-Key drive to make it knob adjustable.
Mirror mounts with Micrometer Head drives should be selected for applications where exact position needs to be recorded and referenced. Although micrometers have position scales on their spindles, their thread pitch is only 51 TPI, half that of a standard adjustment screw limiting their sensitivity.
Mirror mounts with Motorized Linear Actuators can be used for automated positioning, and adjusments where reaching an allen-key or knob may be difficult. You may also be able to make more precise adjustments when using a linear actuator with a motion controller.
We offer optical mirror mounts with the drive not included so you can add your own drive, change drives as required, or add one of our linear actuators to convert it to a motorized optical mount.
Stiffness is a measure of the amount of stress (force/area) required to cause a given amount of strain (normalized deformation). Stress and strain are proportional and related by the equation σ = Eε, where σ and ε are stress and strain respectively and E is Youngs Modulus, which is material dependent. A material is stiffer for larger values of E and more compliant for smaller values. For example, stainless steel is approximately three times stiffer than that of aluminum (see table). Aluminum, on the other hand, is 1.3 times more compliant than brass. Specific stiffness (Youngs Modulus divided by the material density) is important when settling time or vibration immunity is an issue. Components with the same shape and specific stiffness will have the same fundamental resonant frequencies. Higher specific stiffness results in higher resonant frequencies, faster settling times, and a reduction in vibration disturbances.
Temperature changes cause size and shape changes in a mounting component. The amount of size and shape change is dependent on the size of the component, the amount of temperature change, and the material used. The equation relating dimensional change to temperature change is ΔL = αLΔT where α is the material dependent coefficient of thermal expansion. The thermal expansion of stainless steel is roughly half that of aluminum. This can be important when the mounting component is being used in an application requiring interferometric stability. Note that aluminum is the best choice when temperature change across the component is non-uniform. The thermal conductivity of aluminum is ten times greater than that of stainless steel so heat can be dissipated more readily, thus reducing the magnitude of the thermal gradients and distortion. The distortion caused by non-uniform temperature changes is proportional to the coefficient of thermal expansion divided by the coefficient of thermal conductivity. Thus, aluminum distorts on the order of three times less than stainless steel in a non-uniform temperature environment.
Material instability is the change of physical dimension with time so called cold flow or creep. For aluminum and stainless steel, the period of time required to see this creep may be on the order of months or years.Usually, the mechanical design of the component contributes much more to the instability than does the choice of material. For example, the lubrication on the micrometers threads can begin to migrate over time causing a slight shift in the micrometer.
Each of the materials used in positioning components have their own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, a universal material that meets all requirements does not exist. We summarize here the characteristics of the materials outlined in the chart.Aluminum: Aluminum is a lightweight material, resistant to cold flow or creep, with good stiffness-to-weight ratio. It has a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, but it also has a high thermal conductivity, making it a good choice in applications where there will be thermal gradients or where rapid acclimatization to temperature changes is required. Aluminum is fast machining, cost effective, and widely used in component structures. Aluminum is non-rusting and generally corrosion-resistant in a laboratory environment, even when the surface is unprotected. It has an excellent finish when anodized. However, anodized surfaces are highly porous, making them unsuitable for use in high vacuum. Vacuum applications require the use of unfinished aluminum surfaces.Stainless Steel: Steel has a high modulus of elasticity, giving it very good stiffness (nearly three times that of aluminum), and good material stability. It also has about half the thermal expansion of aluminum, making it an excellent choice in typical laboratory environments where there are uniform changes in temperature. Machining of steel is much slower than aluminum, making steel components considerably more expensive. Corrosion of steel is a serious problem. Stainless steel alloys avoid the corrosion problems of other steels. Stainless steel is well suited to high vacuum applications, but the design of the component must also incorporate other factors.
Anodized aluminum provides excellent corrosion resistance and a good finish. Black is the color most often used on optical mounts. The anodized surface is highly porous. For this reason, only unanodized aluminum is used in high vacuum applications. However, this porosity results in a matte surface that does not specularly reflect light, adding to its value in optical mounts. Anodizing hardens the surface; improving scratch and wear resistance.Steel parts are generally plated or painted. Platings are often chrome, nickel, rhodium, or cadmium. A black oxide finish is often used on screws and mounting hardware to prevent rust. Painted components should be avoided. Paint will eventually flake off, contaminating the optics or the moving parts of the positioner.Stainless steel alloys avoid the rust problems of other steels. They are very clean materials that do not require special surface protection. A glass-bead blasted surface will have a dull finish that does not specularly reflect.
Many optical mirror mounts can be vacuum prepared. Please look for the Vacuum Compatible statement on the specific product page. Vacuum Compatible products are prepared for 10-6 Torr. If you require products specially prepared for 10-3 Torr, or greater than 10-6 Torr environments, please contact our technical staff for a quotation.
Preparation for vacuum environments depends on the vacuum you wish to maintain. The word vacuum does not adequately specify the conditions for a specific application. Acceptable levels of outgassing, mass loss and volatile condensable materials can vary with the application, pumping capacity, temperature, etc. It is, therefore, essential that the specific requirements be reviewed and understood prior to placing any component in a vacuum environment.10-3 Torr environments: In general terms, a vacuum of 10-3 Torr requires minimal change to many of our products with the exception of possible lubricants. In this environment, it is not uncommon to use anodized parts and limited use of plastics should not pose any problems.10-6 Torr environments: Components used in a vacuum of 10-6 Torr are specially prepared for this environment. Many of the materials used in standard components will outgas in a high vacuum, resulting in a virtual leak, which limits the ability to maintain a high vacuum. Highly porous anodized aluminum surfaces can trap large amounts of air molecules, resulting in significant outgassing. For those components, within this catalog, specified as Vacuum Compatible we perform the following in preparation:Products with anodized aluminum are created without anodize. As such, we only use unanodized aluminum, stainless steel or equivalent materials. Plastic knobs and handles are either removed or replaced (at additional cost) with high vacuum materials such as steel or Delrin. In some cases, you may choose to maintain the plastic knob due to incremental costs associated with producing an alternative design. In spite of plastics permeability it is common to use plastics in vacuum systems because of their insulating properties and price. Holes not tapped through are vented; or special vented hardware is used. Hardware and lubricants are changed to special vacuum compatible materials. Finished units are completely cleaned and sealed in appropriate packaging material. Additional vacuum preparation steps, or preparation for vacuums of greater than 10-6, require special handling, including baking the product in a vacuum. If you have requirements at this level, please contact our technical staff to discuss the options available and, if appropriate, pricing.

Natick neighbors resist auto body shop's attempt to open new branch
As a longtime Natick auto shop owner prepares to ask zoning officials for permission to expand his business, nearby residents are organizing against proposal, citing increased traffic, noise, pollution, and property devaluation as key concerns.
Joseph Gagliardi, who has owned the Coach and Carriage Auto Body Inc. on Middlesex Avenue for 20 years, recently submitted an application to rezone the former Duralectra building on North Avenue to allow him to erect another branch of his auto body shop there.
The Natick Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a hearing Dec. 5 regarding the possible expansion of Coach and Carriage.
Gagliardi said he wants to expand his business, which has stood at its Natick Center location for over 40 years, because his employees need more office space to telecommunicate with insurance agencies for collision services.
In searching for a new property, Gagliardi said the former Duralectra building caught his eye due to its hefty, durable structure.
Its a really well-built concrete commercial building designed for heavy industrial use, Gagliardi said of the building, which lays a half-mile away from the current shops location. My real estate agent just happened to show me it. I never got so much attention just for looking at a building.
However, homeowners whose properties abut the industrial building have begun petitioning against the move.
Natick resident Dan DiMento has spearheaded the initiative to sway officials to refuse Gagliardi permission to open an auto body division in the building, which has been vacant for 18 months.
Were not going to be able to sleep, it will stink of chemicals, there will be an increase in traffic, and there will be no parking in the area, he said.
DiMento, along with other property owners living adjacent to the North Avenue premises, have collected signatures, appeared at Town Hall meetings, and even started a Google group currently at about 50 members strong opposing the auto bodys expansion.
DiMento said that he was aware of Duralectra, an aluminum plating and finishing company, and its impact on the community when he moved into his Tibbetts Street home 12 years ago, but said the company was very quiet with minimal traffic and employees who only worked weekdays and went home by 3 p.m.
DiMento said that despite sitting close to the commuter rail and industrial buildings, the area is an up-and-coming neighborhood, and that residents would prefer to see another type of business in the former Duralectra building.
Neighbors have suggested a wide variety of alternatives, such as a gymnastics space for the area kids to play in, or a hub that would host several small offices, DiMento said.
The only thing were zeroing in on is whatever goes in there has to make sense for the town and the neighbors, and it has to be fair to us, he said. If we can stop this permit and consider the other options, wed be happy to hear what the other options are.
Gagliardi said he appreciates neighboring residents concerns, and looks forward to communicating with them, but doesnt believe expanding to the North Avenue location would be a detriment to the neighborhood, as he mainly wants to use the space as an office building.
Also, on a busy day at his shop, Gagliardi said he only sees up to 10 customers, which he said would not increase the traffic dramatically.
Were not a high volume type of a store its just not that type of industry, he said. We have times in the year where we pick up the phone and wonder if its working. Other times, after a snow or ice storm, well get eight to 10 people coming by.
However, DiMento said the type of business would attract tow trucks and flatbed vehicles, which would clog up traffic and could potentially funnel the road down into one lane if the auto body vehicles park on the side of the road.
He also said that the shop would be open six days a week, with operating hours that could easily spill over into the evening.
Ive passed by Coach and Carriage at 7:30 p.m. before, and their doors are open, banging away and painting away, which is fine on Middlesex Avenue, but you cant do that in the middle of our neighborhood, he said.
Gagliardi said while he does not wish to step on Natick residents toes, he will continue looking to expand, even if neighbors try to thwart his efforts.
You have to look to improve yourself and keep up with the industry if you stand still, youre actually going backwards, he said. I need to keep the business as forward thinking as I can.

People have used up too much of the earth's resources to create many things using higher end technology. Among the resources that are depleting in these times are metals. Metals are very useful in all areas; whether residential, commercial or most importantly, industrial. But efforts for metal recycling Houston TX are being done to conserve metals for the future generations.
Metals coming from electronic and automobile wastes which include steel, iron, aluminum, zinc, lead and copper are very useful. They are usually taken from junks being piled in scrap yards to be used as raw materials for many industries. In rare cases, precious metals like platinum, gold and silver may also be made available from smelted old jewelry.
Regardless of where the recycled materials are derived, they are guaranteed to provide numerous benefits to humankind and the world as a whole. In fact, recycling metals allows for ninety percent savings on the purchase of brand new raw materials. Companies and industries can therefore purchase more for less, and thereby create more products without increasing expenditures.
Processing newly found metals from mines and other sources can use up more energy than recycled materials do. The latter have already been processed previously and therefore require only a few refining once they are bought. About three quarters of the usual expenditure for energy may be saved by processing recycled materials instead of new ones.
Through this, industries reduce their contribution to the pollution of the environment. Since lesser fossil fuels will have to be burned to process the raw materials, you reduce the particles going up in the air, thus reducing air pollution as well. Companies will also be able to reduce water pollution by lowering the amount of wastes they product in production.
Moreover, the reserves of the resources that the earth has will be further conserved through the efforts of recycling. Whether metals or water used for processing, both are very important resources that need to be preserved for the sake of the future generations. With lesser mining activities, the amount of mining wastes can also be better controlled.
On the part of the consumers, they will also be able to buy cheaper materials made from recycled materials. This can be very beneficial especially in these economically challenged times. The economy will benefit too as more and more customers continue to purchase despite the difficulties present in the society.
Indeed, the authorities are promoting the recycling of various materials and wastes to reduce the amount of wastes in landfills that need to be treated. By getting certain metals recycled, we are also able to help make things easier for the government. This way, the government can focus on other more important things other than waste management.
There is a lot metal recycling Houston TX can do to the economy, the environment, the state and the world as a whole. If you are interested in buying scrap goods yourself, you will have to look for a good supplier who offers reasonable prices and uses the right standards for collecting recyclable items to get the best value.

A little late (announcement was on 21st May) but I didn't see a thread on this.
SyFy has cancelled Sanctuary. Doesn't look like the producers will try to get the show up and running via other means as they've all moved on to other projects:
http://www.gateworld.net/news/2012/05/s ... r-seasons/
Considering the way season 4 finished, I'm not at all surprised. However, given that they've only done 59 episodes, it would be nice to have a movie length feature as the '60th episode' to tie up remaining questions.

Kendal stars with hat-trick
Monday 12th November 2012, 2:29PM GMT.
A HAT-TRICK from Josh Kendal ensured ABN Amro avoided a potential banana skin on Saturday as they retained second place in Men's Division One.
Their hockey title rivals Colombians and Casuals had already secured comfortable victories over Elizabeth College and Yobbos respectively before the oranges took to the Footes Lane pitch to take on Unwantables in the pick of the day's games.
With Adam Kitching unavailable, Indies needed his fellow island forward Kendal to step up to the plate and he did so in style.
His side enjoyed the better start but it was not until 20 minutes had passed that they created their first real opening and Kendal converted it with great composure.

California at a Crossroads: Crisis and Opportunity
Original post made by Stacey on Dec 12, 2009
The 2010 EdSource Forum will be held Friday, March 19 at the Marriott Hotel in Santa Clara, California. The program will run from about 9 AM to 3 PM.
Crisis or Opportunitywhich is it? In California, it is usually both! This past year was certainly one of the worst in terms of the global economic and state fiscal crises. The impact on public education has been hard and the worst may be yet to come. Even so, a recent TIME magazine cover story reminds us that "California will be back...it is still the dream state...it's still the home of the 'new thing,' a state of early adopters...people filled with ideas and energy and a never-give-up attitude."
The 2010 EdSource Forum will address both the state's crisis and its opportunities.
Mac Taylor, California's Legislative Analyst, will present the latest on California's budget crisis and projections for 2010-11, federal stimulus funds, and how the situation is affecting public education.
Forum attendees will be among the first to hear the results of a landmark study by EdSource and faculty at Stanford University, on the California middle grades practices that seem to differentiate schools with higher student performance.
In a first-ever presentation, California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott will join Martha Kanter, Under Secretary for the U.S. Department of Education, in a moderated discussion about the links between K-12 and community college, and the challenges and opportunities facing community colleges as they work to improve student outcomes in an era of reduced resources.

Acinetobacter baumanni in Italian hospitals: results from a retrospective data analysis from the Micronet Network laboratories
F. D Ancona*, A. Sisto, A. Raglio, M. Meledandri, A. Rocchetti and the Micronet Network participants
Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen frequently isolated in hospital that can survive for long period with different environmental condition. This Gram Negative pathogen can cause outbreaks with clinical pictures of sepsis, pneumonias, urinary and wound infections . Rarely it can cause meningitis. It can be responsible of colonization in hospitalised patients. Patients in intensive care units and surgeries are often affected by this infection with an increased mortality.
In order to evaluate the circulation of this pathogen and describe the phenotypic resistance to antimicrobial drugs, we conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis of the infections caused by A. baumannii, A. calcoaceticus complex and Acinetobacter spp from 1st January 2010 to 30th June 2010 in 22 Italian hospitals participant to Italian Micronet Network the largest nation-wide lab surveillance system.
The total number of ordinary hospitalization days in participating hospitals is 2,012,521. The total number of bed in the hospitals included in the study is 14066.
586 A. baumanniI (considering A. calcoaceticus complex, Acinetobacter spp and A. baumannii) were isolated by culture (isolates from the same patients before 30 days were excluded) .
The range by hospital was 0 to 80 isolates (mean 25, median 20) . The most frequent specimen types of first isolation were not protected respiratory specimens (n: 254, 43.3%), Urine (n: 92, 15.7%), protected respiratory specimens (n:63, 10.8%), blood culture (n:38, 6.5%)
272 were isolated from Intensive Care Units (46.4%), 57 (9.7%) from surgeries, 180 (30.7 %) from medicine ward.
Resistance to imipenem (539 samplings), meropenem (421), ampicillin sulbactam (97) and ceftazidime (574) were respectively 73.5%, 72.9%, 30.9%, 77.7%
307 (79.3%) of 387 isolates were non-susceptible both to imipenem and meropenem. Considering the percentage of circulating multiresistant A.baumanni circulating in hospital, it is a priority to activate control measure in the hospitals to avoid outbreaks that, especially in ICU where it can cause an excess of mortality. Surveillance of this events and monitoring of the antimicrobial resistance should be taken in consideration at national and local level.

Lancaster (Usa/Pennsylvania) - April 29. Today we're in the heart of the Amish colony. The Amish live like they did three hundred years ago. They cultivate their land, use no electric power and no cars, dress in dark clothes they make themselves and wear long biblical beards. They are very religious. They move around by horse and buggy, with just one sign of modernity, one that almost looks derisive: the triangular reflector, without which they wouldn't be allowed on the roads. I got to know them well, in the five years I spent here in Lancaster some twenty years ago.
I start running by the campus of my Alma Mater, Franklin and Marshall College, founded in 1787. My throat feels choked. It's eight a.m. on a Sunday. The students are fast asleep. I enter the campus by the football court. Here's the old track with the same old billboard:
Visitors: 0
Home: 0
I remember when the home team was ahead and we hailed... or when it was behind, perhaps losing to a "lesser" college. Then we would scream our frustration, and our meanness as well: "It's alright, it's okay / You will work for us someday!"
I'm on Hartmann Green. The College Center is by my left side. Would I still remember the combination of my mailbox? Maybe. I never really learned it by heart, I just turned the knob to the left, then to the right, then again left and it always opened somehow. In front of me I see Dietz Hall and remember a girl I used to know. I see it's no longer called Dietz Hall. They changed the name. I don't like that. Schnaeder Hall is to the right. That's where I lived in my freshman and sophomore years. All the dorms are built out of red bricks, in the tradition of American campuses. I'm running toward Schnaeder and I'm chasing lots of squirrels away. I look at the window of room number 111 and think of my roommate Seth. He's a doctor now, we're still friends. I walk through the dorm, even though I think I'm probably not supposed to. Thanks to running I still occupy the same volume as back then. But I have a few wrinkles and a lot of grey hair. Running keeps you young, but up to a point.
I take the small exit downstairs. On the branches of that tree, on December 8, 1980, there was a roll of toilet paper. It was streaming gently in the wind, like a flag at half mast. It was late in the evening and the radio had just announced that John Lennon had stopped living. I was in my sophomore year.
Marshall-Buchanan Hall, where Amy used to live before I knew her. I remember a few summer nights when "mother battles" would erupt quite suddenly. "Schnaeder!!!" - screamed someone from Buchanan all - "Your mother's like a bus. You pay when you get off". "Buchanan" - one of us would retort - "How come nobody's been on your bus for the past fifteen years?!" All battles started like this and sometimes degenerated into water fights or worse. Sometimes Security had to intervene so that things wouldn't get out of hand.
I'm on Race Avenue. That house brings memories... it still looks the same from outside, but Marina is long gone. I wonder what she's doing now... I'm running on a five-mile loop I sometimes ran on even back in my College days. Baker's Field... the Astronomy lab... hockey and lacrosse. In the second semester of my freshman year I had taken a keen interest in women's hockey... now I'm running along Harrisburg Pike and everything looks the same as it did. Strange, in the ever-changing United States!
Here's something different. The passage from Baker's Field to the woods is chained. "Property of Franklin and Marshall College. No trespassing". There's also something about a Pennsylvania law #3052 but I'm sure it doesn't apply to an alumnus from Italy. "No forbidding" I think as I cross the Rubicon. It sounds a bit sixtyish, but it soothes my conscience even now. Anyway, this place belongs to my memories. This is where I sometimes ran and often walked, alone or with friends. Amy and I sat right here by the creek the first time we went out. We drank white wine, Cortese di Gavi, and I played guitar.
I'm crossing the main campus again. Here's the Green Room Theater. Great talents came from here. Franklin Schaffner '52... Treat Williams '73... There's Stahr Hall, where I had my troubles with Calculus. And, finally, Old Main, straight from the Benjamin Franklin days.
Dulcis in fundo I run down James Street. Just a few blocks, to number 510. This is where I met Amy, on this same day eighteen years ago. We've been together ever since and we're here today to celebrate our coming of age.
Giorgio Pogliano's morning coffee doesn't come in a cup, but he can still find it everywhere. Running each morning is his daily "coffee" – it gives him the surge of energy, something good to reflect upon during the day, and a reason to look forward to tomorrow. Just like the different types of coffee found around the world, Giorgio finds different surroundings as he runs.

24 new photos have been added to the Photo Gallery for "Zodiac," which opens in theaters tomorrow, March 2nd.
From 1966 to 1978, the Zodiac Killer claimed victim after victim in the San Francisco Bay area, repeatedly taunting law-enforcement authorities with direct messages bragging about his deeds. The killer is officially blamed for six murders, but claimed to have killed some 37 people and could have been responsible for as many as 50. When Zodiac starts killing again, the son of the broken journalist who tracked his every move and the retired cop who never caught him, continue the search to find the notorious serial killer.
"Zodiac" is rated R for some strong killings, language, drug material and brief sexual images.

Tabley businessmen left hanging on phone after cable problem
5:40pm Saturday 24th August 2013 in News
ANGRY Tabley businessmen have spoken of their frustration after damage to telephone cables left them with no service for three weeks.
Tabley farmer Tony Rye and Chris Bridge from Heyrose Golf Club have hit out at BT after the company delayed repairing the cables.
They both told Guardian that the loss of service has damaged their businesses but the telephone giant said it had started to repair the telephone line yesterday afternoon (Tuesday).
Tony said he was frustrated it had taken so long to solve the problem.
"They have been extremely difficult giving me excuse after excuse. It turns out they just did what I told them to do in the very first place.
"It's taken them three weeks to fix.
"Thankfully my business is back on track, though I am frustrated about the time taken to solve the issue."
Chris Bridge from Heyrose Golf Club added the club had suffered as no-one had been able to book tee times.
"The network was down for two-and-a-half weeks, the whole area was out and they simply refused to do anything about it," he said.
"They claimed that for health and safety reasons they couldn't attend to the problem as it was a broken electric cable.
"I've visited the broken cable myself and it was a telephone cable that was the issue.
"Business has been affected as no one has been able to make bookings so we've suffered in that area.
"I travelled there on Thursday and there was a team of three vans attending to the cable.
They said it would be sorted in the next 10-30 minutes and when I got back things were up and running again."
A spokesman from BT said the work needed a 'traffic management system' being put in place, hence the delay.
"The two gentlemen had both experienced loss of service due to a faulty overhead cable," she said.
"The repair requires 60m of new overhead cable and a new telegraph pole.
"Unfortunately to do the work we require traffic management which is schedueled to start today (Tuesday, August 20).
"The good news is after several attempts engineers managed to give a temporary service to the effected customers so they now have service which will remain in place untill the replacement is complete.
"Customers should contact their service provider to discuss compensation in line with their individual service agreements.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this loss of service."

How Dolley Madison Saved the Day
As invading British troops approached in August 1814, the first lady coolly took command of the White House
- By Thomas Fleming
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2010, Subscribe
(Page 3 of 5)
As Dolley headed for the door, according to an account she gave to her grandniece, Lucia B. Cutts, she spotted a copy of the Declaration of Independence in a display case; she put it into one of her suitcases. As Dolley and Carroll reached the front door, one of the president's servants, a free African-American named Jim Smith, arrived from the battlefield on a horse covered in sweat. "Clear out! Clear out," he shouted. The British were only a few miles away. Dolley and Carroll climbed into her carriage and were driven away to take refuge at his comfortable family mansion, Belle Vue, in nearby Georgetown.
The British arrived in the nation's capital a few hours later, as darkness fell. Admiral Cockburn and General Ross issued orders to burn the Capitol and the Library of Congress, then headed to the White House. According to Lt. James Scott, Cockburn's aide-de-camp, they found the dinner Dolley had ordered still on the table in the dining room. "Several kinds of wine in handsome cut glass decanters sat on the sideboard," Scott would later recall. The officers sampled some of the dishes and drank a toast to "Jemmy's health."
Soldiers roamed the house, grabbing souvenirs. According to historian Anthony Pitch, in The Burning of Washington, one man strutted around with one of President Madison's hats on his bayonet, boasting that he would parade it through the streets of London if they failed to capture "the little president."
Under Cockburn's direction, 150 men smashed windows and piled White House furniture in the center of the various rooms. Outside, 50 of the marauders carrying poles with oil-soaked rags on the ends surrounded the house. At a signal from the admiral, men with torches ignited the rags, and the flaming poles were flung through the smashed windows like fiery spears. Within minutes, a huge conflagration soared into the night sky. Not far away, the Americans had set the Navy Yard on fire, destroying ships and warehouses full of ammunition and other materiel. For a time, it looked as if all Washington were ablaze.
The next day, the British continued their depredations, burning the Treasury, the State and War departments and other public buildings. An arsenal on Greenleaf's Point, about two miles south of the Capitol, exploded while the British were preparing to destroy it. Thirty men were killed and 45 were injured. Then a freak storm suddenly erupted, with high winds and violent thunder and lightning. The shaken British commanders soon retreated to their ships; the raid on the capital had ended.
Meanwhile, Dolley had received a note from Madison urging her to join him in Virginia. By the time they were finally reunited there on the night of August 25, the 63-year-old president had barely slept in several days. But he was determined to return to Washington as soon as possible. He insisted that Dolley remain in Virginia until the city was safe. By August 27, the president had re-entered Washington. In a note written hastily the next day, he told his wife: "You cannot return too soon." The words seem to convey not only Madison's need for her companionship but also his recognition that she was a potent symbol of his presidency.
On August 28, Dolley joined her husband in Washington. They stayed at the home of her sister Anna Payne Cutts, who had taken over the same house on F Street that the Madisons had occupied before moving to the White House. The sight of the ruined Capitol—and the charred, blackened shell of the White House—must have been almost unbearable for Dolley. For several days, according to friends, she was morose and tearful. A friend who saw President Madison at this time described him as "miserably shattered and woebegone. In short, he looks heartbroken."
Madison also felt betrayed by General Winder—as well as by his Secretary of War, John Armstrong, who would resign within weeks—and by the ragtag army that had been routed. He blamed the retreat on low morale, the result of all the insults and denunciations of "Mr. Madison's War," as the citizens of New England, the center of opposition, labeled the conflict.

Perhaps one of your captions "The White House in 1814 before its torching at the hands of the British." - should read "The White House in 1814 after its torching at the hands of the British."

Thank you for posting a wonderful piece that goes beyond what students typically learn about this period in American history. The British are now our allies, but it seems unfair that we down play how hard-fought our independence from Britian really was. Perhaps more knowledge of our own historic struggle might help our citizens to understand the sacrifices and opposition other people are facing in the present, as they try to change the leadership in thier countries.

Partisan or focused? The Americans indeed invaded Canada, but it was hardly a spur of the moment endeavor.
Illegal trade restrictions on the part of the British dating back to 1807, and a little event known as the Chesapeake Affair served to instigate the hostilities.
The desire for more land was a two-party notion as well. The British desired a no-man's land that would be neutral; in effect setting up lands for tribal peoples friendly to the crown and providing a British toe-hold in the region now made up of Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
All this aside, the article was about Dolley Madison and her role in this war, regardless of the legalities and formalities of who shot first and why.
Kudos to Mr. Fleming for his outstanding article on the greatest First Lady in our history--and, to this day, the only private citizen awarded with an honorary seat in Congress.

I so very much enjoyed reading the article regarding Dolly Madison! The extent of this second war with the British was never part of my "recall of history." Please continue with more such historically correct articles.

What a thrilling story. I came acropss it accidently. and it keept me awake to the end.It is´late a night here now. I readelly admit that `this seccond war of independence" was unknown to me. Madison and Dolly were only names.
Late in life I have reccoknized that; land of the free, home of the brave`has true meaning. This said by an europen who used 25 years of hís life at a revolutionart communist. Well... I know now that in ´14 ´39 and when the kommunists treyed again to set Europe a fire, you America saved our a.. .
I don´t know if you will do ít again, I hope you will, for Europe have not finished its bellicose history,- far from it, but I am pleased, born in 1944, that I had the fortune to live in prosperety and peace, not least because of The United States. (i am not an educated man and my english is very poor)

In this ridiculously partisan article by Thomas Fleming the author seems to have neglected to mention that the war began in earnest with the Americam attempt to invade Canada in August 1812.

LPN/LVN Additional Certifications - Page 10
Register Today!- Jul 26, '08 by softstormsFYI...always check out your scope of practice in your state. You can get certified in many things you can not practice!
- Aug 1, '08 by lookingbeyondQuote from pagandeva2000As soon as I settle down, I am doing the same...Actually, I did well in pharmacology due to my extreme curiosity with how meds work within the body...I'm a total nerd, I guess. LOL If I can just hang on...long enough...Thanks for the insight. I will inquire about it and consider taking it up. I have always had an obession with pharmacology since my actual class was a complete disaster. Since then, I have acquired so many textbooks for cheap on the subject that I went on overdrive. Now, thinking about it...I will, in fact do it before the year is out. Does this consist of attending a class? Or is this all on line as it appears? I will look more into the web sites when I get home from work this evening...and I really appreciate your list of items you shared.:spin:
I thought RN's had all of those priviledges for learning. I am glad to find this forum. - Aug 6, '08 by duc8tieveryone has always posted good info, love this forum. I have been a pharmacy technician for 25 years and am now a LVN. would it be to my benefit to get a pharmacology certification? thanks
- Aug 8, '08 by OncologyRN23I was not aware that LPN/LVN's were able to get certifications in anything. Can an LPN become a oncology certified nurse? I had always thought you must have your RN first.
- Aug 10, '08 by Fiona59LPNs are employed at the Cancer Facilities in the province of Alberta. We handle carcinogenics.
I don't know about the US. - Aug 18, '08 by Hubby's girlI sought out and took the Gerontology certification. I passed and now am IV and Gerontology certified. My employer did not acknowledge the Gerontology certification. We are all IV certified(the LPN's)-had to- to keep our jobs. Now that I got the GC-Gerontology cert...other LPN's are bustling to get it too. It isn't too hard-go for it!
- Aug 18, '08 by lvnhopefulCongratulations Hubby's Girl!
Where did you get your certification if I might ask?
You said your employer didn't acknowledge it, I wonder why? Seems like it would be a desirable certificate to get if you are in LTC. - Aug 19, '08 by Hubby's girlI'm on a med/surg unit- and I found the cert on NFLPN's website. It's very do-able-things we already know. I was talking at work today about it not being acknowledged to my bosses' supervisor and to some co-workers. They have certs in something else, and so far have no "congrats" from mngmnt. I don't know why.
- Aug 19, '08 by lvnhopefulThanks for answering. Maybe acknowledgement is withheld because they fear workers will want wage increases, or maybe its just bad management.
Glad you didn't let that stop you. Knowledge is power..........

Going Gaucho: Uhland signs volleyball full ride to UCSB
Feeling like a proud parent, Christopher Abruscato held back the tears as he observed his prized pupil.
Earlier this month, East Nicolaus High's head volleyball coach was at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center with his Orangevale Volleyball Club team competing in the Far Westerns National Qualifier Tournament when he decided to pop over to see his former setter.
Competing at the tournament was Haley Uhland, his three-year starter at East Nic who plays club with Cal Synergy of Roseville.
As she skated across the court, commanding the offense like a tactician, all Abruscato could remember was the little girl who told him "volleyball is yucky" when she was 10 years old.
"I just sat back and watched her like she was my daughter," said Abruscato, who has been coaching the sport for 20 years. "She is one of the top five players I have ever coached."
Also in the stands in Nevada that day was Dan Ahiers, an assistant with the UC Santa Barbara volleyball program, who had been following Uhland since February.
UCSB head coach Kathy Gregory only needed to see Uhland once to be convinced of what Ahiers had been telling her for three months — this could be the Gauchos' new starting setter.
Uhland signed a national letter of intent on Monday at East Nicolaus High to play volleyball with the Division-I Gauchos, securing a four-year, full-ride scholarship.
Gregory, who has been the program's head coach since its inception in 1975, said she expects more out of her setters than any other player on her team.
"It's the most difficult position and you can't take any plays off," Gregory said. "I was very impressed with (Uhland's) work ethic and she has all the qualities I need coming in here. She has a great set of hands and a good future."
Gregory wants Uhland to come in right away and compete for the starting setter position along with another true freshman. A junior college transfer could be in the mix as well.
UCSB plays in the Big West Conference alongside three-time national champion Long Beach State, UC Irvine, Cal Poly, Pacific and UC Davis, among others. The Gauchos have been to 28 out of the last 31 NCAA Tournaments.
In Gregory's setter-oriented 5-1 offense, Uhland's ability to efficiently run the scheme will be tested right away.
"Mentally, she has the mind to be a setter," Gregory said. "She's going to have to lead the team."
Uhland said she is completely comfortable with that and accepts the challenge of fighting for that starting spot as a freshman.
The A-D's Player of the Year is heading down to Isla Vista early to start working out and getting to know her teammates' strengths and weaknesses.
Uhland said she was speechless when Gregory gave her the call to let her know she was a Gaucho.
"I've always wanted to play in college, but I never thought it would be a D-I, full ride," Uhland said. "It was absolutely amazing, the best thing that could happen. Since freshman year I wanted to play volleyball in college."
To accomplish that goal, she joined Cal Synergy at age 16 to gain exposure.
Under the tutelage of Matt McEvoy, a former college setter, Uhland fine-tuned her game while playing against some of the best volleyball players in the state.
Ahiers first saw Uhland at a January tournament in the Bay Area. He watched her again in Las Vegas and Reno.
McEvoy said the fact that Uhland has the chance to grab a starting spot as a freshman says a lot about how hard she worked to better herself.
"She had the best natural hands of any setter I've had over the last five or six years," McEvoy said. "She improved dramatically. She's not the tallest, or fastest kid, but one of the most skilled kids on the court."
Not only did the prowess of the volleyball program entice Uhland, but the beauty of UCSB's campus, located right next to the Pacific Ocean.
Gregory said she was almost in a recruiting war with conference-rival Pacific over Uhland. After making her official visit, Uhland said her decision was pretty easy.
"It's beautiful down there," Uhland said. "How could you say no to that?"
When Abruscato took over at East Nicolaus in the fall of 2008, he remembers looking into Uhland's eyes and knowing she was a player who wanted to grow.
With her royal blue "UCSB Volleyball" T-shirt on and a library full of well-wishers observing, she penned her signature on a piece of paper.
Signing that contract doesn't fulfill her life goal, it just means it's time to go back to work.
Hitting the weight room, running sprints in UCSB's home gym the Thunderdome, learning an offense and taking on the toughest position on the court.
Uhland has a job to win and she said the competition begins today.
"I won't stop until I get a spot," Uhland said. "That's all there is to it."

Elderly residents have bench stolen from Richard Sharples Court on Cavendish Road
12:20pm Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News By James Pepper, Reporter
A bench used by elderly residents has been stolen from outside their home.
Residents of Richard Sharples Court on Cavendish Road, Sutton, woke on Sunday morning to find their £350 bench had been taken during the night.
The bench, which had been a gift from relatives of a previous resident, was used daily by residents waiting for the bus.
Claire Grant, the court manager has appealed for its return.
She said: "It's been there nearly two years, but it wasn't fixed down, we never thought anyone would take it. People use it every day and they are very upset it has been taken."
"Some people heard some commotion during the early hours of Sunday, but it was no different to any other Saturday night."
Outraged Sutton South Councillor Tony Shields said: "I plan to secure area committee funds to get these residents a new bench.
"It is a small cost which will bring great benefit to people, after all, what are councils for? I hope the people who did this are brought to justice."

wft is Sirius 92?
That Dino show is a real force...anything is better than the steaming manure on 100/101
Hello DinoSaloon.com
"Closely aligned" is a bit of an understatement. Howard crowed about hand-picking him to run the channels and said he was the best in the business. You'd think Howard would do whatever was necessary to keep him on board if that was true:
Howard Talks To Program Director Tim Sabean. 10/11/05. 6:05am
Howard mentioned that he has a new Program Director over at SIRIUS 100 and that is Tim Sabean. It was a surprise announcement yesterday and it shook the radio industry when they announced it yesterday. Fred played the ''WOOO HOOO'' scream that Tim did for them on the phone years ago when he had some great ratings news for them. Howard said he's really looking forward to working with Tim, who has to move up from Philly to work with them. He thinks that Tim is going to get an apartment there in New York and then go back to Philly on the weekends. Howard and Tim talked about what Infinity would do once he made the announcement. Tim thought he'd be fired while Howard didn't believe that would happen. As soon as Tim made his announcement, Joel Hollander had him escorted out of the building. Howard said that Tim has been working for Infinity for like 20 years now.
Howard had Tim on the phone a short time later and said that he's ready to go over to SIRIUS today. The two of them spent a few minutes talking about their upcoming jobs. Howard was on fire yesterday about getting things going over there. Tim said that it's been an emotional ride for him for the past few weeks. He said he spoke to the General Manager down in Philly yesterday and had to break the news to the staff at the station down there. Howard said that Kidd Chris was kind of bummed about that news because he just started down there in Philly himself. Tim said he wasn't escorted out of the building but he was asked to leave once he informed corporate that he was leaving. Tim told Howard about all of the things he was overseeing there at Infinity before he was let go.
When will Howard address this? Seriously, will he ever discuss it?
I have a vibe he went to rehab...but hey who knows.
Good luck to Tim. Satellite Radio is destine to the 8 track bin.
I am not Schmoopy. Look at my avatar again before negging.
Goody, more parameters and initiatives.
Tim was making so much money as the program director for 100/101 he used to buy 2 iphones and 2 ipads a month because he used to leave them in the back of the cab on his way to meet "potential clients" at steakhouses
Is it even possible to leave the Stern show on good terms?
Its a shame: Those two scumbags (Wiggy and Tim) deserve each other.
what about the shit show?
In a reflection of days gone by
I stayed awake all last night
O and A just confirmed Tim is in charge of The Opie and Anthony Show.
Hate to say it but I mentioned this in a thread a couple weeks ago. People just think everything is a pickle jar.

Thomas Young will make his first Under-20 appearance at openside while Cory Hill comes into the second row.
Rheon James and Liam Williams will slot into the backline at inside centre and wing respectively while Jonathan Evans takes the scrum-half spot.
Philippe Sella's France need an unlikely set of results to claim the Championship themselves but Edwards believes they will be as tough to beat as any side Wales have played so far.
"This is arguably going to be our biggest test to date," said the former London Irish scrum half.
"France are a different side depending on whether they play at home or away but this game will give us a new benchmark to see where we are ahead of our world cup preparations.
"Last week's disappointment is already behind us, and this is a final chance for players to put down a marker ahead of the next phase.
"We've got to get back to how we played against Scotland and Italy, with real physicality and intensity that was lacking last weekend. We have to take the game to France and make things happen for us."
