Working with customers I have come across a number of scenarios where the caller ID presented from the PBX is not in E164/DID (Direct Inward Dial) format. Some gateways allow for extensive manipulation of the caller ID, some less so. The good news is that in OCS 2007 R2 you can now easily solve the problem and this has also been made available as a hotfix for OCS 2007 R1 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954647/en-us) . Below is an explanation of how it works and what you need to put in place.
In a simple scenario, you have 2 sites, each with a PBX. There is in place standard short code site dialing. I have also included the PBX node numbers as I have seen these exposed in some cases.
Now if we take the simple scenario of Peter in Reading on OCS which is connected through a mediation server and a basic gateway to a PBX in Reading. Joe is a user in London connected to a PBX in London.
When Joe calls Peter the following occurs
The call is routed from the London PBX to the Reading PBX and then on to the basic gateway.
The gateway will create a SIP invite message and the "to" address is usually formatted correctly but the "from" address could be in one of several formats depending on your legacy PBX
DID number 442031391212
Short Dial number 8021212
Internal dial number 84041212
If you are fortunate and it is in DID format then the basic gateway can easily add +, as can the mediation server. More likely though you either have the short dial number, or as in this case the internal dial number (using the PBX node number)
You can see from the log from my basic gateway the formatting of the different addresses I have highlighted in red.

When the message is received by the mediation server, because the "from" number is not in E164 format it will add its configured location profile to the "from" address as a phone-context which I have highlighted in red in the log below.

The pool front end server uses the location profile in the phone-context to normalise the number. I would recommend using a different location profile to the one you assign to users as the rules can be slightly different and allows you the flexibility to customise it to your PBX.
It adds a "P-Asserted-Identity" field to the invite message with the normalised number as shown towards the bottom of the invite message below.

When the invite message is received by the Office Communicator client it uses either the "From" field or the "P-Asserted-Identity" field to match against the address book and local Outlook contacts. The problem here is that the numbers in the address book come from Active Directory and these are usually in the short dial format as they are used by users who are not using OCS enterprise voice.
Telephone Number
SIP Line URI
Peter Perfect
801 3291
Joe Bloggs
803 1212
Ruth Smith
801 3232
For this you need to amend the company normalization rules file (Company_Phone_Number_Normalization_Rules.txt) so that it generates number that can be matched against. In this example for London you would add
# 802xxxx +44203139xxxx London
I would also recommend you add a test input entry
#TestInput: 8021234 TestResult: +442031391234
This enables you to easily test your address book normalization rules using the command line:
Abserver.exe -testPhoneNorm
Which would give output like the following:-
Running 1 normalization rules tests
Test from Company_Phone_Number_Normalization_Rules.txt on line 37
Input: '8021234'
Expected Result: '+442031391234'
Actual Result: '+442031391234'
Test PASSED
Matching Rule in Company_Phone_Number_Normalization_Rules.txt on line 15
You can also output the Address book to a text file to view how your numbers are normalizing e.g.
Abserver.exe /dumpFile "f-0bb5.dabs" c:\absdump.txt
Where f-0bb5.dabs is the latest full address book file. You will see entries similar to the following:-
ContactId {GUID}
Mail email@example.com
TelephoneNumber 802 1212
TelephoneNumber tel:+442031391212
msRTCSIPPrimaryUserAddress sip:firstname.lastname@example.com
displayName Joe Bloggs
Sn Bloggs
givenName Joe
Notice that there is an additional telephone number entry with the normalised version of the number. This is the normal telephone number field in Active Directory, not the SIP Line URI.
To summarise what you need to do is:
· Create location profile for mediation server
· Have a consistent number format for telephone numbers in Active Directory
· Edit Company_Phone_Number_Normalization_Rules.txt file to normalize numbers from Active Directory for the address book.

One of our consultants in the UK, Paul Brombley did a write up on a deployment and how they dealt with...
Nice post. When you create your location profile for mediation server specifically, I am assuming you must name it the netbios name of the mediation server itself for it to work correctly? In your example, "ReadingMediationServer" Is this correct? If so then these rules will be applied for all inbound calls from the gateway to the Mediation Server. For outbound calls, I'm assuming that the users' set Location Profile NormRules will only be applied and not the Mediation Server specific rules?
The location profile for the Mediation server can be called anything. There are no specific rules. The only time the name of the Location Profile matters is when tying up with Exchange UM.
The only problem with this scenario as I understand it is that missed call notifications and voice mail notifications only contain the original phone number from the SIP INVITE.
In other words, you can't perform click to dial on these "raw" numbers unless you have normalization rules to handle them.
For example, if a call comes in as a SIP INVITE from "7805551212" here in North America, we can use an inbound normalization rule at the Mediation server to change it to "+17805551212" however the missed call notification will show "7805551212" only.
That was insanely informative, and I'm going to read through it again just to make sure that I got everything. Thanks!
Has this been verified to be working on R2? My R2 system show the correct behavior from the Mediation Server, but the Front End does not add the p-asserted identity to the invite going to the communicator client.

Amanda Peet
The Way Way Back star is a master of infusing funny roles with painful dramatic stakes. Watch her flip that around as brave military lawyer Laura Hellinger, who grimly enlists Alicia's help in a sexual assault case before returning as Will Gardner's most charming love interest.Photo Credit: Craig Blankenhorn/CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

Amy Sedaris
Comedian Sedaris is known for embodying hilarious high-octane lunatics such as 46-year-old high schooler Jerri Blank in Strangers With Candy, the cult after school special parody she created. In her role here as Eli Gold's most worthy opponent -- peppy Southern lobbyist Stacie Hall -- she poaches clients with a smile.Photo Credit: CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Carrie Preston
This hardworking actress shined on everything from Sex and the City to Lost and Desperate Housewives before landing a lead on True Blood. She's also impressive in The Good Wife, where her brilliant, ADHD-addled attorney Elizabeth Tascioni uses a scatterbrained demeanor to camouflage her ferocity.Photo Credit: David M. Russell/CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved
F. Murray Abraham
The legendary character actor is best known for his Oscar-winning turn in Amadeus, but he's kept busy since then too with major parts in films by Wes Anderson and the Coen Brothers. As well-dressed Hollywood lawyer Burl Preston on The Good Wife, his bland façade hides a bully-for-hire.Photo Credit: Craig Blankenhorn/CBS ©2011 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Marc Warren
He made his name playing shady characters in Hustle, The Vice, and Mad Dogs so Warren is the perfect fit as Kalinda Sharma's estranged ex-husband Nick, who shows up and disturbs just about everyone within his range with stalker-like behavior and strange criminal connections.Photo Credit: Jeffrey Neira/CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

Martha Plimpton
The one-time child star of The Mosquito Coast overcame early typecasting as tomboy to go on to become a notable stage actress with an edge. As the Lockhart-Gardner rival Patti Nyholm, she'll do whatever it takes to win, even use her newborn at an important trial.Photo Credit: David M. Russell/CBS ©2013 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Matthew Perry
The affable Friends star plays startlingly against type as Peter's political rival, Mike Kresteva, who makes no bones about crushing and ridiculing all those who stand in his way. Even when he's turning on charm, this guy's just a smirk away from a vicious sneer.Photo Credit: David M. Russell/CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Michael J. Fox
Fox turns in a fearless performance, playing his real-life affliction with Parkinson's disease for laughs as the Machiavellian Louis Canning. A slimy opponent, Canning remains impossibly likable thanks to a twinkle in eye that makes it clear just how much Fox is enjoying himself.Photo Credit: Jeffrey Neira/CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Nathan Lane
The two-time Tony Award winner tones it down as staid Clarke Hayden, a trustee assigned to watch over Lockhart-Gardner as they struggle to pay off crushing debt. Lane invests the role with perfect understated aloofness and then surprising warmth. He may have a no-nonsense approach to business but he's also got a heart of gold.Photo Credit: Jeff Neira/CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Stockard Channing
Over 20 years after her breakout performance as tough-talking delinquent Rizzo in Grease, Channing won an Emmy as an equally outspoken First Lady of the United States in The West Wing. Channing brings her combative nature to the fore again as Alicia's mother, Veronica Loy, the free-spirited, hard-drinking narcissist.Photo Credit: CBS ©2013 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved

The Fair Barn
The Fair Barn was built by the Tufts family in 1917 as an exhibition hall for the Sandhills Fair, a major event held every fall from 1915 through 1925. The building is located within the confines of the Pinehurst Harness Track, and part of the oldest continuously operating equine sports complexes in the state of North Carolina. Many famous celebrities from that era visited Pinehurst and some, such as Annie Oakley, performed at various events held at and around The Fair Barn.
Designed by Lyman Sise, a Boston architect and Tufts' relative, it is in the Mission Style popular around 1915. In 1932 it was partially destroyed by a tornado. After some repairs, it served as a stable for sixty years and was designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Secretary of the interior in 1996.
The Pinehurst Historic Preservation Foundation was formed in the late 1990s in anticipation of the need to restore and preserve the best elements of the original village. Its first project was the restoration of The Fair Barn—restoring the exterior and installing heat, air conditioning, light and sound systems, as well as other amenities, in the interior.
The Fair Barn is a unique event facility located in the beautiful Village of Pinehurst. Since the completion of its restoration in 2002, the Fair Barn has become a popular venue for community fundraisers, destination weddings, and corporate functions.

The Richmond and Danville Railroad was one of the most traveled railroads in Virginia, its stock of locomotives and passenger cars only surpassed by the Virginia Central and the Virginia and Tennessee railroads. By 1861 the Richmond and Danville Railroad contained twenty-three locomotives, eighteen passenger cars, six mail and baggage cars, and 328 box and flat cars. The rail's extensive stock was often used to convey large freights, particularly coal, into and out of the Confederate capital.
The Richmond and Danville, an instrumental Confederate transportation tool, accommodated the government's daunting tasks, which included the movement of large numbers of supplies and troops. The Confederacy quickly recognized the importance of this rail line, and in 1861 the government sought to replace its thirteen-year-old iron tracks. These improvements provided a more efficient means of travel for the railroads' patrons, chiefly the military.

Dramatic changes in rocky intertidal communities associated with oceanographic regime shifts.
Menge, Bruce1, 1 Department of Zoology, Corvallis, OR, USA
ABSTRACT- Marine community theory predicts that community structure and dynamics should vary both with rates of propagule input (larval transport model or LTM) and food (phytoplankton and detritus) subsidies (bottom-up model or BUM). Both models predict that with increases in subsidies, rates of recruitment, predator abundance, and predator effect should all increase. They make opposite predictions for prey abundance, which increases with subsidies in the BUM but decreases with more recruitment in the LTM. Because larval transport rates and food subsidies in coastal habitats vary over tens to thousands of km, tests of such models have lagged. Recent studies in New Zealand are generally consistent with both models, except that contrary to the LTM prey abundance increases rather than decreases with recruitment. Studies on the US west coast, in concert with a recent oceanographic regime shift, provide an opportunity to examine these predictions across appropriate scales of space and time. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is a large scale (Pacific Ocean Basin) long-term (25 year) cycle of change in surface temperature. In about 1998, the Northeast Pacific shifted from a warm phase to a cold phase. Long-term studies of intertidal community dynamics underway since 1989 (Oregon) and 1995 (California) have revealed major changes in several factors. In Oregon, but not California, upwelling intensity increased, average water temperature decreased, and concentration of phytoplankton, recruitment of mussels, and abundance of mussels on the shore all increased. Prior research suggests that the increase in phytoplankton results from higher nutrient inputs due to more intense upwelling, and that this higher level of food supply enhances mussel larval growth and survival. Observed changes to date are consistent with all predictions of the bottom-up model and, again excepting prey abundance, the larval transport model. Ongoing investigation through the PISCO project will permit a detailed mechanistic understanding of the ecological consequences of these changes.
Key words: marine community theory, rocky intertidal, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, coastal ecosystem dynamics

• Creighton enters the MVC Tournament having won five of its last six games.
• Creighton leads the league in defense, allowing just 57.9 points per game.
• In MVC play only, Creighton led the league in field-goal percent defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 38.4 percent from the field.
• Creighton ranks second in the MVC with 13.6 assists per game despite ranking seventh in the league in scoring (61.2 ppg).
• The Bluejays posted a better record in the second half of the MVC season (6-3) than the first half (5-4) – the first time since 2002-03 they've accomplished that feat.
• The Bluejays are playing in their 20th MVC Tournament, and are 19-18 all-time at the event, including 9-9 under Jim Flanery.
• Creighton won its only MVC Tournament title 10 years ago in 2002. The Jays have appeared in three of the last five MVC title games, but are just 1-5 all-time in the championship game.
• Creighton is playing as the No. 4 seed for the second straight season and the sixth time overall. The Jays are just 2-5 while playing as the fourth seed.
• In the nine games Creighton has played at The Family Arena (5-4), the Bluejays are shooting just 35.8 percent from the field and 26.8 percent from three-point range, averaging 56.6 points per game at the venue.
• Creighton's seven returning players who have appeared in the MVC Tournament are a combined 22-of-55 (.400) from the field and 9-of-28 (.321) from three-point range – including Ally Jensen's 6-of-12 game as a freshman – in their 19 cumulative games played at the event.
Scouting the Bluejays
Creighton finished fourth or higher in MVC play for the fifth straight season and eighth time in 10 seasons under head coach Jim Flanery. The Bluejays had their longest winning streak of the year snapped at five games in the regular-season finale at Drake last weekend, but posted an 11-4 MVC mark in their last 15 games after starting 0-3 in Valley play for just the second time in program history.
The Bluejays again played the toughest non-conference schedule in the league, as their strength of schedule was ranked 18th in the NCAA before starting conference play (the rest of the MVC had an average SOS of 174 at the end of non-conference play). The Jays grabbed non-conference wins over ACC foe North Carolina State and Mid-American Conference champion Bowling Green, a perennial NCAA tournament team.
CU is the top defensive team in the MVC, allowing only 57.9 points per game and it ranks second in the MVC with 13.6 assists per game.
Nine of Creighton's 12 roster spots are filled by underclassmen and five of the top six scorers this year are underclassmen, led by the top two scoring sophomores in the league – Carli Tritz and Sarah Nelson. Tritz is the first sophomore to lead CU in scoring since 2002 MVC Player of the Year Christy Neneman. The first-team all-MVC guard leads the team in points (13.9), assists (3.7) and steals (1.9) per game. Nelson, an honorable-mention all-MVC forward, is averaging 12.8 points and leads the team in rebounding (7.7 rpg), blocks (32), field goal percentage (.509) and double-doubles (10). Her 10 double-doubles are the most by a Bluejay since 1987-88.
Junior Ally Jensen (8.6 ppg) leads the team and ranks fifth in the MVC with 61 three-pointers this season and she ranks 10th in school history with 140 career threes.
Head Coach Jim Flanery
Jim Flanery (Creighton, 1987) is in his 10th season as head coach at his alma mater, where he has led his team to seven WNIT postseason appearances and five 20-win seasons. He owns a career record of 187-128 (.594). The winningest MVC coach in school history, his 116 MVC wins are tied for fifth in league history. The second-winningest coach in school history, he led the Bluejays to the 2004 WNIT Championship. Prior to serving as CU's head coach, Flanery served as CU's top assistant for a decade. Flan is 9-9 all-time in the MVC Tournament, 5-4 in St. Charles.
CU at the Tournament
• The Bluejays are 19-18 all-time in the MVC Tournament, appearing in each of the last 19 tournament since joining the league (on the women's side) in 1992-93.
• The Bluejays have appeared in three of the last five title games, falling in heartbreaking fashion each time. CU is now 1-5 all-time in the MVC Tournament championship game, winning its only title in 2002, while losing in 1994, 1999, 2007, 2009 and 2010.
• Creighton is the No. 4 seed for the sixth time – its most popular seed in the tournament (it has been the No. 2 seed five times).
• The Jays are just 2-5 as the No. 4 seed, appearing as the fourth seed in 1995, 1996, 2001, 2008 and 2011. The 1995, 2001 and 2011 teams lost in the quarterfinals, while the 1996 and 2008 teams each lost in the semifinals.
• The average margin of defeat in Creighton's last five MVC Tournament losses is 3.6.
• Prior to its loss to Wichita State in the quarterfinals last year, CU had won at least one game in the MVC Tournament in each of the previous five seasons.
• The Jays will look to avoid losing in the quarterfinals in consecutive years, a feat they have not suffered since 2004 and 2005.
• The Jays are 5-4 all-time at The Family Arena in St. Charles.
This is How a Heart Breaks
In three of the last five years, Creighton has come within one field goal of earning the MVC's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, losing in the MVC Tournament championship game each time. Creighton's last three championship game losses have been by a combined four points.
• 2010 MVC Championship – Creighton leads by eight, 53-45, with 7:46 to play but does not score a point for the remainder of the game. Northern Iowa ends the game on a 9-0 run, including a pair of free-throws after a foul away from the basket with 7.1 seconds remaining to win 54-53.
• 2009 MVC Championship – In a game that featured 11 lead changes, the final one came with 0.3 seconds left on the clock, as Evansville hit the game-winning shot to down the Bluejays 47-45.
• 2007 MVC Championship – Creighton held an 11-point second-half lead, only to fall behind by five before tying the game late. The Bluejays had two free-throws to take the lead with six seconds left in regulation, but missed them both and lost 65-64 to Drake in overtime on the Bulldogs' home floor.
Career Numbers in the MVC Tourney
Only two active Bluejays have started a game at the MVC Tournament – as Carli Tritz and Ally Jensen both started against Wichita State last year. Complete career tournament stats listed in chart below.
• Carli Tritz was the only Bluejay to score in double figures at the MVC Tournament last year, scoring 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, but she also tied her career-high seven turnovers in the loss to Wichita State.
• Sarah Nelson scored eight points and had two rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench in her only MVC Tournament game before this year.
• Ally Jensen scored a career-high 18 points, by making 6-of-12 three-pointers in CU's quarterfinal win over Drake as a freshman in 2010, but she has not scored in her three MVC Tournament games since that performance.
• DaNae Moore is the most experienced Bluejay in the tournament, having played in seven games. She's 4-for-10 from the field and 7-of-11 from the line with 16 points and 22 rebounds in her seven tournament games.
• Jordan Garrison and McKenzie Fujan didn't scored in their MVC tourney debuts last year and Jasmin Corbin has five points in four career tournament games.
Not So Family-Friendly Arena
In its first five games played at The Family Arena in St. Charles, site of this week's State Farm MVC Tournament, the Bluejays averaged just 52.6 points per game, shooting 31.5 percent from the field (91-289) and 23.3 percent from three-point range (20-86). In 2010, the Jays shot 44.1 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three-point range, but overall are still shooting only 35.8 percent (175-489) from the field and 26.8 percent (45-168) from long range in nine games at the venue. The Bluejays average 56.6 points and allow 52.6 points per game all-time at this site.
10-Year Reunion
Creighton's only MVC Tournament title came in 2002, when the Bluejays – who were led by a pair of sophomores – knocked off Indiana State, Evansville and Drake for the championship. Tournament MVP Christy Neneman poured in an MVC school-record 39 points in the title game against Drake, while Dayna Finch put on a shooting display by making eight three-pointers in the quarterfinals vs. Indiana State. Head Coach Jim Flanery was an assistant coach on that team and current assistant coach Jenny (Burns) Vickers started each game of the 2002 tournament and led the team with nine rebounds in the championship game.
Flan in the Postseason
Head Coach Jim Flanery won his first MVC tournament game (70-54 over Illinois State in 2003), and is now 9-9 in the MVC Tournament. The Jays are 11-6 in the postseason WNIT under Flanery, including the WNIT Championship in 2004. Overall, Flanery's teams are 20-15 in postseason games (WNIT and MVC tournament), including two WNIT Final Four appearances and three appearances in the MVC Tournament title game.
NCAA Talk
Should Creighton capture its second MVC Tournament title this week, the Bluejays would earn their fourth NCAA Tournament bid. The Bluejays played in the NCAA Tournament in 1992, 1994 and 2002. CU is 2-3 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. If the Bluejays do not win the Valley title, CU will likely earn an invite to the postseason WNIT. CU has played in nine WNITs – 1987, 1989, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. The Jays are 13-8 all-time in the postseason WNIT, including a Final Four run in 2003 and the 2004 WNIT Championship.
The Case for Postseason Play
At 17-12 entering the MVC Tournament, the Bluejays may have a chance to earn an invitation to the WNIT for the eighth time in the last 10 years. The Bluejays enter the week with an RPI of 84 according to the latest NCAA RPI report. The Jays played 10 games against teams from the RPI top-100 this year, posting a 3-7 mark against those squads, including non-conference wins over Bowling Green and North Carolina State. CU's RPI is second in the MVC, behind only Missouri State's 53.
Marching the Wrong Way
Since 2001-02, the Bluejays have just two losing records in March – a 2-3 mark in 2007 and an 0-3 record in 2011. The Bluejays have lost their last five games in the month of March dating back to a WNIT win over Stephen F. Austin in 2010. Despite the five straight defeats in March, head coach Jim Flanery still owns a record 33-22 (.600) in March games.
Turning Thirty
Creighton will be playing in its 30th game of the season on Friday. The Bluejays are 9-3 in their previous 30th game of the season. In each of the past two seasons, CU has lost its 30th game at the MVC Tournament, falling to UNI in 2010 and to Wichita State last year.
Three-Game Sweeps
Creighton will be looking for its third win in three tries over UNI when the teams meet in the quarterfinals. The Bluejays last went 3-0 against a team in one season in 2009-10, when they beat both Drake and Wichita State en route to the MVC Title game, finishing the season 3-0 against both DU and WSU.
• The Jays went 3-0 against UNI during the 1992-93 season.
• Should CU face Missouri State in the semifinals, the Jays would be looking to avoid going 0-3 against a team for the first time since it lost to Indiana State three times in the 2005-06 season.
• The last time CU beat a team in the MVC Tournament after getting swept by that squad in the regular-season was in 1999, when the Jays beat Drake in the quarterfinals after DU had swept the regular-season series.
Flan Makes Moves
Head coach Jim Flanery is one of seven coaches in league history with 100 wins in conference play. With Creighton's win at Bradley (Feb. 26), Flan tied former Drake leader Lisa Bluder for fifth in league history with 116 conference wins. With two MVC wins in 2012-13 he will move past UNI's Tony DiCecco into fourth place on the list.

Smart Birds
Sophomore Sarah Nelson was named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team on Tuesday. The forward owns a 3.65 cumulative grade point average, and follows in the footsteps of older sister Kellie, who was named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete Second-Team in each of the previous two seasons. Junior Ally Jensen, who owns a 3.63 GPA in nursing, was named an honorable mention all-MVC Scholar-Athlete.
Carli's Criminal Ways
Carli Tritz leads the team and ranks sixth in the league with 54 steals this year. Of her 54 steals, 30 have come in her last nine games alone, as she has grabbed at least two steals in eight of those games and twice tied her career-high with six steals in that span. The sophomore also led the team in steals as a freshman and already has 121 steals in her career, well on her way to becoming just the eighth player in school history with 200 steals.
Jensen en Fuego
Junior Ally Jensen finished the regular-season by making 9-of-13 (.692) three-point attempts in her final two games, making all five of her attempts at Bradley (Feb. 26) and draining 4-of-8 at Drake (March 3). Her 37.9 three-point field goal percentage ranks 32nd in the NCAA and she ranks fifth in the MVC and leads the team with 61 three-pointers – just three shy of cracking the CU single-season top 10.
Jensen Moving Up
By making nine three-pointers in her last two games, Ally Jensen has moved from 15th to 10th place on the CU career three-point charts. Earlier this season she became the 16th player in school history to reach 100 career three-pointers.

On Top of the Valley
Creighton has won more MVC games over the past 10 seasons than any other league foe. Since Jim Flanery took over in 2002-03, the Bluejays have posted 116 Valley wins. With 105 victories between 2002 and 2011, the Bluejays were the only Valley team to eclipse 100 conference wins in that nine-year span.

Dynamic Sophomore Duo
Creighton's leading scorers – Carli Tritz (13.9) and Sarah Nelson (12.8) – are also the top two scoring sophomores in the MVC. They've been remarkable consistent this season, averaging a combined 26.7 points per game – or 42.9 percent of Creighton's offense. Tritz and Nelson have both scored in double figures 21 times this season. Tritz is the first sophomore to lead the Bluejays in scoring since Christy Neneman in 2001-02. They are looking to become the first pair of Bluejays to average at least 13 points in a season since Angie Janis (18.5) and Kristi Woodard (13.5) in 2005-06.
Foo Fighting
McKenzie Fujan enters the MVC Tournament playing the best basketball of her career. Over her last three games the sophomore guard is averaging 10.3 points and 3.7 assists per game, while shooting 14-of-26 (.538) from the field. Fujan scored a career-high 12 points and tied her career-high with six assists, while not committing a turnover in CU's win at UNI (Feb. 24). She followed with another double-digit scoring performance with 10 points at Bradley (Feb. 26).
Double Trouble
Sarah Nelson leads the team and ranks third in the MVC with 10 double-doubles this season. Her 10 double-dimes are the most by a Bluejay since Creighton Hall of Famer Pam Gradoville logged 14 double-doubles during the 1987-88 season.
Bench Blast
Creighton's bench has outscored the opposition's bench 503-385 this year, including 80-18 in the final four games of the regular-season. The reserves were key in wins at UNI (Feb. 24) and Bradley (Feb. 26). Against UNI, the Bluejay bench scored a season-high 34 points, making 6-of-9 three-pointers, including 3-of-4 from freshman Taylor Johnson for a team-best 13 points. The bench then poured in 18 points at Bradley to finish the weekend with a 52-10 advantage in bench points in the pair of wins.
Great Guard Play
In Creighton's final two road wins this season (at Northern Iowa and Bradley), its three starting guards combined for 66 points, 23 assists, 13 steals and just seven turnovers. The trio of McKenzie Fujan, Carli Tritz and Ally Jensen shot 54.2 percent (26-of-48) from the field in the wins. Fujan scored a career-high 12 points and tied her career-high with six assists against zero turnovers at UNI. Tritz had 15 points, a career-best three blocks and tied her career-highs with eight assists and six steals at Bradley. Jensen drained all five of her three-point attempts at Bradley.
The Ally Way is Perfect
Junior Ally Jensen equalled the most accurate three-point shooting game at Creighton since the 1991-92 season when she made all five of her three-point attempts at Bradley (Feb. 26). She tied Ally Thrall (Dec. 18, 2007 vs. Kansas State) and Kathy Halligan (vs. BYU, Feb. 20, 1992), who also went 5-for-5 from long range.
Numbers of the 5-Game Winning Streak
Creighton put together its longest winning streak of the year, a five-game streak from Feb. 11-26, putting up impressive numbers in that span. Only one Bluejay shot below 40 percent from the field during the streak. Carli Tritz (15.2) and Sarah Nelson (15.0) combined to average more than 30 points per game during the streak, while Tritz had 5.8 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 steals per game in that span – far above her season averages.
Tritz Tis Terrific
Sophomore Carli Tritz leads the team in scoring, assists and steals this year – but her numbers lately have been impressive even by her standards. Against Indiana State on Feb. 19 she led the team with 18 points and added eight rebounds and seven assists, while she did not commit a turnover in the game – her first zero turnover game of the season. At Bradley on Feb. 26, she led the team with 15 points and five rebounds, while she also topped the team and tied her career-highs with eight assists and six steals in the win.
Everyone Contributes
Creighton had all 11 players scored in a game just once through its first 25 games of the season – doing so in a blowout loss to No. 3 Notre Dame on Dec. 4. The Jays then put all 11 players in the scoring column in two straight games against Indiana State (Feb. 19) and at UNI (Feb. 24). In fact, the UNI game was the first time this season all 11 Bluejays made a field goal, as each player played at least nine minutes and scored at least three points.
Second-Half Heroics
Carli Tritz scored all of her team-leading 16 points in the second half of Creighton's win over Illinois State (Feb. 17). It's nothing new for Tritz, who scored 17 of her 19 points against Indiana State on Jan. 20 and did more of the same against Bradley last month. Tritz scored 19 of her career-high 25 points in the second half against Bradley on Jan. 29. At Illinois State (Jan. 22), Tritz made 8-of-8 field goals in the final 8:30 to scored 16 of her team-leading 18 points in the second half. On the season Tritz is averaging 8.4 points per game in the second half, compared to 5.4 points in the first half. Tritz is shooting 50.6 percent from the field after halftime and just 38.3 percent in the first half.
High Times
Creighton shot a season-high 53.8 percent from three-point range against Illinois State (Feb. 17), making 7-of-13 shots in the win. The Bluejays also blocked a season-high nine shots, with Sarah Nelson blocking a career-high four in the game. The Jays followed two games later with their best shooting game in over a year, making 59.6 percent of their shots from the field at UNI for their best shooting game on the road since Feb. 8, 1996 when they shot 63.2 percent in Peoria. CU also dished a season-high 21 assists in the win at UNI.
Not Half Bad
Creighton has improved to 29-1 all-time under head coach Jim Flanery when shooting at least 50 percent from the field this season as the Bluejays shot a season-high 59.6 percent at UNI (Feb. 24) and also made 52.8 percent of their shots at SIU (Feb. 11).
Better Balance in Wins
• Carli Tritz and Sarah Nelson average 39.5 percent of CU's points in wins, but score 48.9 percent of the team's points in losses.
• Creighton's third-leading scorer, Ally Jensen, averages 10.6 points per game in wins, but drops to just 5.8 in losses.
• In wins, four Bluejays are averaging at least 3.8 rebounds per game, helping the Jays to a plus-4.2 rebounding advantage.
• In losses, only Nelson (6.8) averages better than 4.0 rebounds per game, as CU has a minus-5.5 rebounding margin in defeats.
20-20 Vision
Sarah Nelson scored career-highs in back-to-back games on Feb. 9 and 11, scoring 23 at Evansville before topping that with 25 points at Southern Illinois. It's the second time this season the sophomore has scored 20 points in consecutive games, becoming the first Bluejay since Angie Janis to score 20 in back-to-back games more than once in a season. She's the first Bluejay since Megan Neuvirth in 2009-10 to score 20 in consecutive games and the first Jay since Chevelle Herring in 2008-09 to score more than 23 in consecutive games. Her 25 points equal Carli Tritz for team-high honors on the season and the most points scored by a Bluejay over the previous three seasons.
Nelson Scores More Than Half
Sarah Nelson scored more than half of Creighton's points in a 48-45 loss at Evansville (Feb. 9), pouring in a career-high 23 points. She also added four assists to have a hand in 13 of CU's 18 field goals in the loss. The last Bluejay to score more than half of her team's points in a game was Sam Schuett. Schuett scored 22 of CU's 42 points in a 42-41 win over Evansville on Feb. 13, 2010.
More from Moore
Senior DaNae Moore is enjoying a career year in her final season at Creighton. Moore has career-highs in points, field goals, field goal attempts, field goal percentage, rebounds assists and steals. She tied her career-high with 11 points against UNI (Jan. 27), making 5-of-6 shots. She one-upped herself with a new career-high of 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting and a season-high nine rebounds in Creighton's win over Bradley (Jan. 29).
Cleaning the Glass
Creighton crushed Wichita State on the glass on Feb. 2, outrebounding the Shockers by 25 (47-22). The plus-25 margin was the largest rebounding margin recorded by a Jim Flanery coached team and was Creighton's largest rebounding margin since outrebounding Indiana State by 26 on Feb. 11, 2001. The Bluejays were outrebounded by a combined 35 through their first three MVC games (-11.7 per game), all losses. Since then, the Bluejays have gone 11-4 and are plus 36 (+2.4 per game) on the glass.
Carli's Career-High 25 Points
Sophomore Carli Tritz poured in a career-high 25 points against Bradley (Jan. 29), making 10-of-16 field goals and 5-of-7 free-throws in the win. Her 25 points – which topped her former mark of 23 against Kansas (Nov. 16) – equal the most scored by a Bluejay in a game over the previous three seasons, as Kelsey Woodard had a season-high 25 points in 2010-11 and Megan Neuvirth scored 25 points for a team-high in 2009-10. (Sarah Nelson has since scored 25 points in a game this season)
Creighton's Comebacks
Creighton overcame a 12-point second-half deficit to win 64-62 at Indiana State (Jan. 20), as Carli Tritz hit the game-winning basket with 2.0 seconds on the clock. It marked Creighton's first win when trailing at halftime this year and its largest come-from-behind road win since 2008. The Bluejays have overcome three double-digit deficits for wins this year (Bowling Green, Indiana State, Wichita State). The Jays have trailed in 15 of their 17 wins this season, and been behind by at least eight points in six of their 17 wins.
More Information on Comebacks
Creighton's win at Indiana State (Jan. 20) was its 19th victory under Jim Flanery when it trailed by at least 10 points in the game. It was CU's largest comeback in two years, since overcoming an 18-point deficit against Northern Iowa on Jan. 24, 2010. Below are the top comebacks for CU since 2002-03.

Carli's Consistent
Sophomore Carli Tritz scored in double figures in 11 straight games (Dec. 8 - Jan. 22), the longest streak of her career and longest by a Bluejay since Sam Schuett had 15 straight games of at least 10 points during the 2009-10 season. Tritz is one of five players during the Jim Flanery era to put together 10 straight games of double-digit scoring, joining Laura Spanheimer, Angie Janis, Kristi Woodard and Schuett. She's the first sophomore to record such a streak under Flanery and the first to do so since MVC Player of the Year Christy Neneman did so in 2001-02.

Home is Where the Wins Are
Creighton is 22-5 (.815) all-time in MVC games played at D.J. Sokol Arena and the Bluejays are 33-9 (.786) overall in the third season at their new home. The Bluejays are 105-34 (.755) at home under Jim Flanery, including 71-19 (.789) in MVC play at home under Flanery.
Defending D.J.
Creighton is 33-9 all-time their new home. In those 42 games, the Jays have allowed less than 60 points points 30 times and under 50 points 11 times. Bluejay opponents are averaging just 55.6 points per game in the 42 games played inside D.J. Sokol Arena.
Bluejays Win Big
Creighton cruised to a 65-33 win over Evansville on Jan. 12. Here are some numbers to highlight the win.
• The 33 points were the fewest scored by a Bluejay opponent since Nebraska Wesleyan scored 31 on Nov. 28, 1978.
• The 32-margin of victory was Creighton's largest of the season and the fifth time under Jim Flanery the Bluejays have won by at least 30 points. CU has twice defeated Wichita State by at least 30 points and owns large non-conference wins over North Dakota (+39) and Memphis (+33) under Flanery.
• The 32-margin of victory was the third-largest winning margin in MVC play under Flanery.
• The win marked the third straight season the Bluejays have beaten the Purple Aces by at least 26 points.

Bluejays Hit the Boards
Creighton snagged 50 rebounds in its win over SIU (Jan. 14). Sarah Nelson led the team with 11 boards, while three Jays tied or set a career-high for rebounds. McKenzie Fujan doubled her previous rebounding high, grabbing eight in the win. Alexis Akin-Otiko tied her career-best with seven boards. Sammy Jensen entered the game with three rebounds in 82 minutes played on the season before the 5-foot-5 freshman snagged a career-best five rebounds in 11 minutes against the Salukis.
Garrison Picks Spots, Hits Shots
Sophomore Jordan Garrison scored a career-high 11 points against Evansville (Jan. 12), making 4-of-5 shots from the field. She tied her career-high by making three three-pointers, finishing 3-for-4 from long range.
Trail to Win
In 15 of Creighton's 17 wins this year, the Bluejays have fallen behind in the opening minutes, only to come back and own a lead before halftime. Creighton, which never trailed in its win at Wyoming, led at halftime in its first eight wins of the season before overcoming a halftime deficit for a win at Indiana State (Jan. 20). A quick glance at some of CU's deficits overcome for wins this year:
• Nov. 11 at UND, CU trailed by 6 just 90 seconds into the game, but led 34-28 at halftime and won 72-54.
• Nov. 13 at NDSU, CU trailed by 8 six minutes into the game, but led 28-24 at halftime and won 71-51.
• Dec. 18 vs. BGSU, CU trailed by 10 with 9:15 left in the first half, but led 26-25 at halftime and won 49-47.
• Dec. 20 at UTSA, CU trailed by 6, six minutes into the game, but led 23-18 at halftime and won 54-53.
• Jan. 14 vs. SIU, CU trailed by 8, five minutes into the game, but led 30-26 at halftime and won 66-59.
• Jan. 20 at Indiana State, CU trailed 36-27 at halftime and was down 57-45 with seven minutes remaining before using a 17-3 run, including 12 unanswered points, and the game-winning bucket with 2.0 seconds left to win 64-62.
• Feb. 2 vs. Wichita State, WSU went on a 14-0 run to take a 16-6 lead seven minutes into the game before the Jays bounced back to lead 30-29 at halftime and win 61-59.
• Feb. 17 vs. Illinois State, ISU led by nine in the first half and was up 29-23 at halftime before the Jays started the second-half on an 8-0 run and would win 68-59.
• Feb. 24 at UNI, the Panthers scored the first seven points of the game, but CU scored the last 10 points of the first half to lead 27-19 at the break en route to a 74-48 win.
• Feb. 26 at Bradley, BU led 16-11 midway through the first half, but the Jays scored 13 straight, led by four at the break and won 68-59.
Alexis in Stitches
Alexis Akin-Otiko had an unfortunate ending to her best game in MVC play at Missouri State on Jan. 5. The freshman scored 10 points, making all five of her field goal attempts in Creighton's game at MSU, scoring in double figures for the second time this season. The rookie left the game with 2:47 remaining after colliding head-on with Lady Bear star Casey Garrison. Akin-Otiko needed four stitches to repair a cut under her right eye, while Garrison suffered a broken nose in the collision.
Jim Flanery coached in his 300th game as Creighton's head coach at Wichita State on Jan. 8. He joins Bruce Rasmussen as the only other coach in school history to reach 300 games as CU's leader. Rasmussen coached in 343 games in 12 seasons at Creighton, while Flan is now in his 10th season. Rasmussen, now Creighton's athletic director, was 160-140 (.533) after 300 games, while Flanery went 176-124 (.587) in his first 300 games at CU.
Best Non-Conference RPI & SOS in MVC
• As it annually does, Creighton again played the strongest non-conference schedule in the MVC. When non-conference play concluded, the Bluejays' strength of schedule (SOS) through Dec. 28 was 18. Only one other school in the MVC had an SOS in the top 100, as Illinois State's SOS was 39 before Valley play began. The average strength of schedule for the nine other MVC teams was 174 – or 156 spots lower than Creighton's.
• Creighton's league-leading RPI was 49 before MVC play began. The Jays were one of four MVC teams in the top 100, with Missouri State (63), Bradley (82) and Illinois State (97) joining them.
No Bad Non-Conference Losses
One reason for Creighton's high non-conference RPI and strength of schedule is the fact that the five teams Creighton lost to this year were a combined 52-4 in non-conference action. Colorado (11-0), Notre Dame (12-1), Nebraska (11-1), Kansas (11-1) and South Dakota (7-1) had impressive non-conference marks.
Tritz Named All-Tournament
Carli Tritz was named to the UTSA Holiday Classic All-Tournament Team following her play at the event in San Antonio Dec. 20-21. Tritz scored 14 points against UTSA and followed with a game-high 18 points and five assists against Colorado to average 16 points per game at the tournament.
Concussions are Contagious?
Well no, but two Bluejay freshmen missed time with concussions in December. Taylor Johnson missed three games (Dec. 18-21) with concussions symptoms, due to a concussions suffered in practice the week before playing Bowling Green on Dec. 18. Sammy Jensen then suffered a concussion while taking a charge in Creighton's game at UTSA (Dec. 20). Both freshmen returned to action in Creighton's MVC opener.
Bluejays Lose Norman Again
For the second straight season Riley Norman will not appear in a regular-season game for the Bluejays. The Des Moines native suffered a torn ACL during preseason practices prior to her freshman year in 2010-11 and missed the year. The forward underwent surgery for a separate knee injury on Dec. 22 and will miss all of the 2011-12 season because of the injury.
Freshman Makes History
Taylor Johnson became the first freshman in school history to make at least four three-point field goals in consecutive games earlier this year when she drained four against both NC State (Nov. 27) and at Wyoming (Dec. 1). The rookie has found her shooting touch, as she has gone 11-of-27 (.407) from long range after starting her career 1-of-14 (.071) from beyond the arc. She was the first Bluejay to make at least four threes in consecutive games since Kelsey Woodard did so in the final two games of the 2008-09 season.
3-Point Streak Snapped
Creighton had made at least five three-pointers in its first 11 games this year before it made a season-low three and shot a season-low 15.8 percent (3-19) from long range against Drake on Dec. 31. The 11-straight games with five threes was CU's longest streak since making five threes in 12 straight games between Jan. 8 – Feb. 20, 2004. The Bluejays ended last season having made at least five three-pointers in their final eight games as the Jays set a school-record with 19 consecutive games with at least five threes.
Road Winning
Creighton went 4-2 on the road in non-conference action this season after posting a combined 2-8 record in non-conference road games over its previous two seasons. Creighton captured its first winning record on the road in non-conference play since Jim Flanery's first season in 2002-03 when the Bluejays went 6-2 in non-conference road games (3-2 in the regular-season and 3-0 in the WNIT). The Jays were 2-2 in non-conference road games in 2004-05 and 4-4 on the non-con road in 2003-04.
Tritz Reaches 400 Points Rapidly
With 13 points against South Dakota (Nov. 22), sophomore Carli Tritz eclipsed 400 career points in just her 35th career game. She became the fastest Bluejay to reach 400 points since Becky Flynn scored her 400th career point in her first game as a sophomore in 1993. Flynn reached 400 points in her 29th career game. If you're curious about other recent Bluejays to quickly reach 400 – Christy Neneman (37), Kelsey Woodard (38) and Laura Spanheimer (39) – were all edged out by Tritz.
Flan Schedules the Big Boys (or Girls)
Creighton played five games against teams from BCS conferences this season, continuing a trend head coach Jim Flanery started when he took over in 2002-03. The Bluejays have played 66 games against BCS schools in that span, 26 more than the next closest MVC school – Drake (40). Flanery's 19 wins against BCS schools in that span are nine more than the next closest MVC school in that span – Illinois State (10). In fact, Flan has more wins against BCS conference (ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, SEC) schools since he took over than Bradley has games played (17) against BCS schools.

Nelson: 2-Time MVC Player of the Week
Whatever the opposite of a sophomore slump is, Sarah Nelson is doing it. The sophomore was named the MVC Player of the Week twice in the first three weeks of the season, earning the honor on Nov. 28 following a week in which she averaged 16.5 points and 13.5 rebounds and set career-highs for rebounds and points in a game. Nelson turned in a career-high 17 rebounds against South Dakota (Nov. 22) and followed with a career-high 22 points against NC State (Nov. 27). She made 9-of-10 shots against the Wolfpack and to finish the week 14-of-20 (.700) from the field.
• Nelson also earned MVC Player of the Week honors after the opening week of the season when she averaged 14.5 points per game and made 12-of-16 shots (.750) from the field in road wins at North Dakota and North Dakota State.
• Nelson is the first Bluejay two be named MVC Player of the Week twice in one season since Megan Neuvirth in 2008-09.
• Nelson is the first Bluejay to be named MVC Player of the Week twice in the same month since Christy Neneman in February 2002.
• Nelson scored in double figures in her first six games this year after never scoring 10+ in consecutive games at all as a freshman.
Nelson Grabs 17 Rebounds
Sarah Nelson had the best rebounding game by a Bluejay since 2003 on Nov. 22 when she pulled down 17 rebounds against South Dakota. The 17 boards were not only a career-high, but they were also a D.J. Sokol Arena record. The 17 caroms were the most by a Bluejay since two-time MVC Player of the Year Christy Neneman snagged 17 rebounds against Indiana State on Feb. 27, 2003. The 17 rebounds are tied for the 10th-most in a single game in school history.
3s by the Dozen
Creighton made a season-high 12 three-pointer in its 74-67 win over NC State (Nov. 27). The game marked the 20th time under Jim Flanery the Bluejays have made at least 12 triples in one game, moving Creighton's record to 16-4 (.800) under Flan when making at least 12 threes. The Jays are now 35-11 (.761) under Flan when making 10 or more three-pointers in a game.
Career Highs All Around
The Bluejays had four players score career-high point totals in their 74-67 win over NC State (Nov. 27), led by Sarah Nelson's 22 points. Taylor Johnson entered the NC State game with 13 points scored in her first four collegiate games before snapping out of her shooting funk by hitting 4-of-10 three-pointers and finishing with 15 points. Junior Jasmin Corbin scored a career-high nine points, making a career-best 6-of-6 free throws, and sophomore Jordan Garrison finished with a then career-high nine points by making 3-of-5 three-pointers in her first career start. Junior Ally Jensen dished a career-high seven assists – three more than her previous career-best – while she also equalled her career-high with six rebounds against the Wolfpack.
Bluejays Blowout Bison
Creighton blasted North Dakota State 71-51 on Nov. 13, the Bluejays' first 20-point non-conference road win since a 78-56 win at Colorado State on Nov. 24, 2007. It marked just the third non-conference road win of at least 20 points under head coach Jim Flanery, with the first coming on Dec. 20, 2002 – 80-57 at UC Irvine.
Not So Rocky Road
The Bluejays won their first two road games of the season for the first time since 1995. Creighton opened the season with consecutive road wins in its first two games for the first time in school history. Prior to its 72-54 win at North Dakota to open the year, Creighton had not won its first road game of the season since 1999 and had not won a season-opener on the road since 1998.
Flan's Movement
Creighton opened the season with a 72-54 win at North Dakota, earning head coach Jim Flanery his 171st career victory. That win moved him ahead of his predecessor Connie Yori (170) alone into second place on the CU career victories chart. He now trails only Bruce Rasmussen's (currently Creighton's AD) 196 wins for tops in school history.

Creighton's Sister Act Continues
One of the three freshmen on this year's team is Sammy Jensen, the younger sister of junior Ally Jensen, continuing the recent trend of sisters playing for the Bluejays. Last year, Kellie and Sarah Nelson played alongside each other. Before the Nelson's played together, the last recorded sister duo to play on the same Bluejay basketball squad was Peggy and Patty Bierle during the 1978-79 season. Kelsey Woodard (2007-11) followed older sister Kristi (2002-06) and Laura Spanheimer (2001-05) followed in the steps of her older sister Krissie (1997-01) to solidify this basketball program as true family environment.
Nebraska Natives
Five of Creighton's 12 players on this year's roster are from Nebraska – Omaha products Jasmin Corbin (Millard West) and Sarah Nelson (Westside), Seward High graduate Alyssa Kamphaus, Wahoo Bishop Neumann product McKenzie Fujan and Alexis Akin-Otiko out of Bellevue West.
The Bellevue Bloodline
Freshman Alexis Akin-Otiko continues a trend at Creighton which began in 2002-03. Akin-Otiko attended Bellevue West, following in the footsteps of former Bluejays and fellow Bellevue West Thunderbirds Kristi and Kelsey Woodard. Kristi played for the Jays from 2002-06 and Kelsey played from 2007-11, meaning one T-Bird has been on the roster every year since 2002-03 – with the exception of 2006-07. CU has had at least one player from Bellevue on the roster every season for the last decade, as Chevelle Herring, a Bellevue East product, played from 2005-10.

Frequency Sweep, Field‐Frequency Stabilized, Double Resonance Spectrometer39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683515View Description Hide Description
A description is given of circuits which improve both the performance and the versatility of a high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. Separate channels are provided for stabilization of the field‐frequency ratio, for irradiation of any resonance, and for observing the spectrum in the frequency sweep mode. To maintain the operating frequencies of the observation and irradiation channels in constant proportion to the stabilization channel, all signals are derived from a single frequency synthesizer system. Essentially modular equipment is described to stabilize the base line and to isolate the receiver from the transmitter by the time sharing technique. The design and construction of a solid state (integrated circuit), field‐frequency stabilizer is discussed in detail. Finally, the design of a stable audio frequency sweep oscillator, built from a voltage‐to‐frequency converter, is described along with a device for periodic repetitions of the sweep.
Reduction of Cosmic Background in an X‐Ray Proportional Counter through Risetime Discrimination39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683516View Description Hide Description
The method of background reduction by risetime discrimination has been applied to a large area proportional counter for use in an x‐ray astronomy observation from a sounding rocket.Analysis of data from a recent flight has shown the system to be about 90% effective in reducing the non‐x‐ray background observed in the space environment for the energy range 3–10 keV that persists when anticoincidence guard counters are used while at least 80% of the x‐ray efficiency is retained. The system is simple, compact and does not require any critical components.
Apparatus for Mechanical Loss Measurements in Low Loss Materials at Audio Frequencies and Low Temperatures39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683517View Description Hide Description
A new apparatus for measuring mechanical loss in low loss materials at low temperatures is decribed. The method has several advantages over existing techniques. Using this apparatus, losses as low as 2×10−6 with a resolution of 10−7 have been reproducibly measured at 4.2°K in TiO2 (rutile).
Theory and Design of an Absolute Viscometer for Low Temperature‐High Pressure Applications39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683518View Description Hide Description
A capillary tube absolute viscometer which is capable of measuringviscosity of a gas from above ambient to very low temperatures, with pressures up to 500 atm, has been designed and constructed. The viscometer has the unique feature of being applicable to low temperatures with the entire flow system maintained at the same temperature. The necessary equation for calculating viscositymeasured on this viscometer has been derived. The proximity to and deviation from steady state operation for the viscometer have been clarified analytically. The analysis shows that the deviations from steady state are particularly important at low pressure.
Hydrostatic Ring Test for High Precision Strain Measurements39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683519View Description Hide Description
A technique for measuring plastic strains at low stress levels is described. The system has a capability of recording residual plastic strains of less than 5×10−8. The test sample is a thin‐walled right circular ring, which is stressed by applying known hydrostatic pressure on the inner wall. This results in a tangential tensile stress throughout the ring; the strain is simply the ratio of change in diameter to original diameter. The strain is measured by capacitancetransducers.Materials that are often thought to behave in a perfectly elastic manner to stress levels of 10 kg/mm2 and higher are found to experience plastic deformation at loads as low as 0.35 kg/mm2 when tested with this high sensitivity system.
Nondestructive Thickness Measurement in Thin Sections of Germanium39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683520View Description Hide Description
A system for performing infrared absorption measurements using a laser source is described which allows the accurate determination of thicknesses of thin sections of germanium in the range of 4 to 10 μ. The advantages in the use of a laser in lieu of a polychromatic source are (1) only two calibration points need be made, (2) output power of the radiation source need not be regulated, and (3) small areas may be measured using only simple optics. The overall accuracy of the system yields an error less than 6%.

Measurement of One‐Dimensional Lagrangian Motion of Water Waves39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683522View Description Hide Description
A system is described which is capable of measuring the water particle motion on the bed of a water wave tank. Heretofore gravity wave observations have been performed in the Eulerian or fixed frame of reference in which the apparatus is immersed in the water and fixed to the tank. This system described here utilizes an optical sensor which tracks a water particle tagged by an almost neutrally buoyant sphere moving horizontally on the tank bottom in response to the wave forces. A series of photocells senses the shadow of the moving sphere through a glass‐walled flume. The photocells drive transistor switches which provide voltage levels appropriate to each position in the tank and data are then recorded on paper tape where they can be read off manually. This system was designed specifically to study the wave‐induced water velocity on the bottom in shallow water in a model tank with implications for the the erosion of sand offshore of natural beaches.
Destructive Hydrogen Target Tests at the Princeton‐Pennsylvania Accelerator39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683523View Description Hide Description
The PPA standard hydrogen target system was tested for a catastrophic failure of the target flask. Two tests were performed. In the second test, the size of the vacuum housing surrounding the target flask was reduced. The resulting pressures, effect on the Mylar windows, and a single phase analysis of the gas flow are discussed.
Automatic Real Time Air Monitoring of 85Kr Utilizing the 4096 Memory of a Multiparameter Analyzer39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683524View Description Hide Description
A noble gas atmospheric monitoring field grid system in which 85Kr is used as a tracer has been designed, constructed and implemented for studying atmospheric transport and diffusion. This system has demonstrated its usefulness in the quantitative measurement of the transport and diffusion of both continuous and true puff‐type radioactive gas releases on a real‐time basis. Small fluctuations in the air concentrations of the tracer are determined by using integrating times of as little as 1 sec. The system consists of a large group of field detectors which relay their information to a 4096 address memory. The memory is presently programmed to accept information from 64 detectors. Information is accumulated in groups of 64 time channels and these groups are automatically stepped by the programmer. A time interval selector allows automatic advance of the stepping process at a slow or fast rate allowing the desired differential data accumulation. The memory is read out on magnetic tape and the equipment is ready for the next field test 35 sec after completion of a tracer field test.
Low Energy Electron Diffraction Apparatus Designed for Thin Film Use39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683525View Description Hide Description
For the study of thin epitaxialfilms by LEED it has been necessary to design a vacuum system more versatile than the system now in use. The vacuum and electron optical requirements are basically the same as for previous LEED systems. The additional requirements for thin epitaxialfilm studies are more precise control of evaporation sources, multiple sources, and thickness monitoring equipment. This paper describes an all‐metal system built to meet these requirements. To allow room for a manipulation of evaporation sources, the vacuum system is of the metal bell jar type with directly attached ion‐type pumps (100 liters/sec) plus a large area sublimation pump (1500 liters/sec). A mercurydiffusion pump system is attached via a bakeable valve for prepumping and noble gas pumping. Three or more evaporation sources can be positioned to individually check their outgassing rate, check their evaporation rate and evaporate on the sample substrate. Rate of evaporation can be checked before evaporation on the substrate by a quartz crystal monitor or ion gauge type monitor. Also the total amount of material evaporated at the sample can be recorded directly or in reference to the change in conductivity of the depositedfilm. Sample holders can be of two types; one that can be heated to high temperature or cooled close to liquid N2 temperatures or a Dewar type coolable to liquid He temperatures. The two types of holder require a different evaporator arrangement. The high speed of the sublimation pump removes active gases liberated during operation of the evaporator. This eliminates the problem of large changes of background pressure during operation. The diffusion pump allows removal of noble gases after ion sputtering of the sample. Preliminary data obtained from the system indicate that the design is much more useful for thin epitaxialfilm studies than systems presently in use and it is probable that a similar versatility will be important for other applications.
High Speed Correlator39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683526View Description Hide Description
The real time computation of the correlation function of two signals of up to 2.5 MHz bandwidth at 30 points simultaneously has been achieved to an accuracy of better than 3% of reading ±2% of full scale by a probabilistic computational procedure. An oscilloscope display permits ``live'' observations. The maximum delay between the input signals can take values between 3 μsec and 48 msec, corresponding to delay increments of 0.1 μsec to 1.6 msec, derived from a crystal oscillator. The instrument offers an order of magnitude improvement in bandwidth and a decisive advantage in cost over commercially available units, while retaining compact size (23×48×38 cm). These features, as well as greatly simplified construction, were made possible by the extensive use of integrated circuits. The computational procedure and critical circuitry are described in detail, with briefer treatment given to auxiliary circuits and construction.
Amplitude Stabilization of a Single Mode, 6328 Å, He–Ne Laser39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683527View Description Hide Description
Described in the following paper is a system for amplitude regulating the output of a single mode He–Ne laser in a band from dc to 200 cps. Over periods of ½ h the output was stabilized to about ±0.15% and to ±0.01% for periods of 40 sec. Since the regulator employs negative feedback, we also briefly discuss techniques for producing a stable system.
Energy Resolution and Focusing in Inelastic Scattering Experiments39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683528View Description Hide Description
In elasticscattering experiments, it is appropriate to consider the scattering pattern in the space of momentum and energy transfers, and a proper treatment of resolution takes account of momentum and energy together, both as regards the correlation of momentum and energy increments in the beams of incident and scattered particles and as regards the structure of the cross section under observation. A description is given of the calculation of resolution widths in measurements on a phonon dispersion surface with a three‐axis crystal spectrometer, and of the manner in which the two main contributions to the energy resolution width may be minimized by focusing— which involves a suitable choice of the monochromator and analyser crystals, the beam path, and the incident and scatteredenergies. Focusing usually improves resolution markedly without loss of intensity, and often with a gain in the peak intensity of a recorded resonance. An experimental illustration is given. Cases where focusing entails loss of intensity are discussed in connection with intensity formulas.
Curve Tracer That Frees Diode Characteristics of Internal Resistance39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683529View Description Hide Description
This curve tracer measures the I‐V characteristic of semiconductor diodes and, assuming an ideal rectifier, compensates for the internal resistance of the diode. The compensating resistance determines the internal resistance. Deviations from the ideal characteristic indicate that phenomena other than injection occur.
Simple Closed‐Open‐Closed Spectrograph Shutter for Exposure Times in the 10 μsec Range39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683530View Description Hide Description
A frictionless closed‐open‐closed spectrograph shutter initially held in place by magnets and driven by an exploding wire is described. Measurements show that the peak transmission of the shutter is 100% and that the timing is reproducible to better than 1 μsec.
Temperature Measurements with Metal Ribbon High Temperature X‐Ray Furnaces39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683531View Description Hide Description
Improved temperature measurements have been made using thin thermocouple wire welded separately to the platinum ribbon of a high temperature x‐ray diffractometer attachment. The tempera ure profile of the specimen stage has been determined in atmosphere as function of temperature, heater position, and heater geometry.
Some Properties of Gold‐Iron Thermocouple Wire39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683532View Description Hide Description
Gold wire with nominal 0.02 at.% iron manufactured by Sigmund Cohn has been calibrated vs Hoskins' Chromel‐P from 0.4 to 85°K. The high sensitivity of this dilute solution, its reproducibility upon cycling from room temperature, and stability upon aging were favorably confirmed. Thermopower variations on the order of 0.3% have been detected in spools of wire arbitrarily drawn from the 0.02 at.% bar. Thermoelectric emf measurements upon a recently cast nominal 0.07 at.% bar show potential variations smaller than 0.1%, thus allowing for accurate absolute temperature prediction from arbitrarily drawn wire. The Au–Fe thermocouple wire, particularly the annealed 0.02 at.% wire, is useful as an absolute thermometer down to 0.4°K owing to an anomalously high thermopower; however, individual lengths must be calibrated against a known standard if accuracies of better than ±0.05K° in temperature are desired below 1°K.
Radio Frequency Pulse Generators to Produce a 1.8 kG Rotating Field in a Plasma39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683533View Description Hide Description
A circuit is described which produces a 2.17 MHz rotating magnetic field at the surface of a cylindrical hydrogen plasma column of 5 cm diam and 44 cm length. The field has a duration of 3.7 μsec. Line pulse generators are used. The spark gaps of the lines are triggered by a special ``synchronizer.'' With this device a number of generators can be connected in parallel in order to achieve higher power levels. Fields of 10–20 kG for application outside of plasma physics are possible.
Laser‐Triggered Spark Gap39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1683534View Description Hide Description
A laser‐triggered spark gap (LTSG) was developed to meet the need for producing a kilovolt electrical output pulse that is synchronous with the light output pulse of a Q‐switched laser. The LTSG output pulse voltage is variable up to 12 kV, which value makes it usable for actuating Pockel cells. A theoretical explanation of the spark gap's triggering mechanism is developed.

Chris and I have a longstanding infatuation with Passion Pit; so guess how excited we were to discover the new single off Passion Pit's upcoming full length Manners. Very excited indeed. The track is entitled The Reeling and is pretty much the party that you would expect from Passion Pit. While not groundbreaking, the track is replete with sweet 80s synth deliciousness and Michael Angelakos' stratospheric vocals.
