Bowling Green QB keeps cool head to usher in triumph over Pitt
PITTSBURGH -- A whistle sounded prematurely, stripping Bowling Green of a possible game-winning touchdown and giving a second chance to Pittsburgh, a Top 25 team that probably didn't deserve such a break.
So Bowling Green went out and forced yet another mistake that assured Pitt of a loss the Panthers never seemed to believe might happen until the game was over.
Tyler Sheehan ran 11 yards for a touchdown on a quarterback draw early in the fourth quarter, two plays after Pittsburgh's fourth turnover, and Bowling Green rallied for a 27-17 upset of the No. 25 Panthers on Saturday.
"Unless you study the game, you don't understand the implications of a win like that," Falcons coach Gregg Brandon said. "We're not supposed to beat these people."
Falcons linebacker John Haneline and several teammates read earlier in the week that no MAC team had won at Pitt.
"Everybody just said, 'Why not us now, why wait?' " Haneline said.
Why not, indeed.
Anthony Turner scored on an 8-yard run set up by quarterback Sheehan's 22-yard completion to fullback Jimmy Scheidler, who earlier scored two touchdowns, to give Bowling Green its first lead at 20-17 with 3:53 left in the third quarter.
With Pitt rushing for only 46 yards in the final three quarters after outgaining the Falcons 137-6 in the first quarter, Kenny Lewis caused Cedric McGee's fumble that Lewis scooped up for an apparent 67-yard scoring return with 13:30 remaining.
An inadvertent whistle sent the ball back to the Falcons' 35 and Bowling Green was forced to punt. But on Pitt's next possession, cornerback Antonio Smith caused Bill Stull's fumble that Angelo Magnone returned six yards to the Pitt 11. Sheehan (24-of-40, 163 yards) scored two plays later.
"I didn't hear a whistle, it was probably some Pitt guy blowing the whistle," Brandon said, laughing.
It never mattered as Pitt was dealt its worst upset home loss since a 35-26 defeat in 2001 to Division I-A neophyte South Florida.
"We made so many mistakes today and the defense had my number," Pitt's LeSean McCoy said. "I'm sure the team is hurt. I'm sure nobody expected this. It's tough."
McCoy ran for 1,328 yards last year in the best freshman season by a Pitt runner since Tony Dorsett in 1973, but was held to 71 yards on 23 carries. He didn't have a run longer than 12 yards.
"We were hearing everything about LeSean McCoy and their great running game, so we wanted to make sure we handled that and tried to get them into passing," Haneline said.
Bowling Green was outgained 393-254 but still beat a Top 25 team for the first time since the-then No. 23 Falcons beat No. 12 Northern Illinois 34-18 on Oct. 21, 2003. They beat Minnesota 32-31 in their opener last season.
This was Pitt's first game since its 13-9 win at then-No. 2 West Virginia on Dec. 1 cost the Mountaineers a national championship game appearance and seemed to re-energize a program that hasn't had a winning season or gone to a bowl game since 2004.
The Panthers didn't resemble that team, just as Bowling Green didn't look like the team that lost 63-7 to Tulsa in the GMAC Bowl.
"That bowl loss lingered and I get asked about that to this day. That's done, I hope," Brandon said. "That's eight months of getting told they're no good."
Pittsburgh, a 13-point favorite, opened a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter after McCoy scored on an 11-yard run and Derek Kinder caught a 4-yard pass from Stull (29-of-51, 264 yards).
McCoy's fumble at the Falcons' 48 late in the second quarter led to Scheidler's 3-yard touchdown catch on a misdirection play on which everyone except Scheidler pulled right but the fullback was open in the left flat.
Bowling Green also relied on gadgetry to get back into the game, with wide receiver Freddie Barnes lining up at quarterback to throw a 3-yard scoring pass to Scheidler.
"They gave us some unusual formations and we had a tough time adjusting to it," said Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt, who seemed befuddled by the loss.
Conor Lee's 36-yard field goal gave Pitt a 17-14 lad on the final play before halftime, but only after Pitt passed up the chance to go for a touchdown. Bowling Green's players noticed and took that as an encouraging sign that Pitt was tiring.
McCoy didn't seem to like the conservative play-calling, which came after Pitt punted from the Bowling Green 35 and 34 early in the game.
"It would have been nice to get a touchdown but, you know, we follow the leader," McCoy said of Wannstedt.

"We got to host the first two rounds, which was awesome, and I think was really good for us," Reeves said. "And then we go to Kentucky and take down Penn State and I was just like, 'What, are you kidding me?" It was awesome." From there, Reeves went on to talk about the Bruins' match against a tough Texas team in the Regional Finals. The top-seeded Longhorns have long been known to play a physical brand while fielding a big, athletic team. At the time, UCLA head coach Michael Sealy described the Longhorns as an NBA volleyball team. But the Bruins controlled the ball better and dispatched the Longhorns in four sets to advance to the F...

Campus Housing:
I couldn't have made a better choice. The academic and social experiences are both great.
Campus Food:
Very, very poor and limited options. As someone who enjoys exercising and eating large meals, I cannot spend less than $15 other than at McDonalds.
Campus Housing:
Great options, but the same amount of money could go a lot further in Durham.
Off-Campus Housing:
No experience with off campus housing.
Off-Campus Dining:
Durham has a number of unique options.
I have not had much interaction with the Administration.
School is expensive and the aid seems to be a secret formula.
Party Scene:
Not into the party scene
Campus Food:
With my class schedule the options are very limited.
Campus Housing:
The freshman dorms are not that close to the main campus and my dorm is not that close to food services.
Campus Quality:
Current construction notwithstanding, the campus is stunning. Several close friends selected this university over others simply because of its aesthetic appeal. Especially among this century's additions, new structures are painstakingly tailored to complement Duke's stylistic character (Neo-Gothic on West, Collegiate Georgian on East). Athletic facilities are worthy of the Blue Devils' distinguished reputations, and the library system ranks among the country's most comprehensive. Undergraduates assume ownership of student programming campaigns, a logical but unusual allowance that dates to the 1950s. It is not uncommon for student leaders to directly oversee 5- to 6-figure programming budgets.
Overall Experience:
Duke's stature is rivaled only by a handful of universities across the world. A degree from this institution insists upon its holder's merits, accountability, and scholarly disposition. Summer jobs and internships abound at coveted organizations in every field -- finance, medicine, engineering, arts, policy, you name it. One of the university's leading assets is its alumni network, which has been carefully cultivated over many decades. Former students look back fondly on their experiences here and, when considering prospects, are very often predisposed to turn to their alma mater. I have not yet consulted with the career center, but friends and colleagues have spoken favorably of it.
The Blue Devils galvanize a campus-wide fandom that is a phenomenon unto itself. Cameron Crazies are undoubtedly the most fervent, outspoken, and intellectually inspired of their kind.
Guys & Girls:
The student body is incredibly impressive. I have deep respect for almost all of them.
Campus Housing:
I love my dorm and find the housing process at Duke to be totally acceptable.
Duke academics are top notch.
This is Duke. Enough said.
Off-Campus Dining:
lots of good food on 9th street
Party Scene:
tons of great options almost any night of the week, there are also lots of groups doing things that do not necessarily qualify as partying but are just as fun. Definitely get involved in some social organization as really excellent parties can be difficult to find otherwise.
Party Scene:
You have to find the right parties to go to. If you go to just any party, chances are you won't have fun without doing things you wouldn't normally do. Finding a gem party makes it worthwhile.
I don't really have much experience with financial aid or scholarships. I do know that MANY students graduate in debt - it's a pricey school. Also, because so so SO many people are so qualified/smart, it seems virtually impossible to earn a merit scholarship, and if you do it's by chance.
Off-Campus Housing:
I know a few friends who live off-campus. Seems fine. Idk why you would tho. I love living in dorms.
Campus Quality:
Campus is beautiful - BUT THERE IS SO MUCH CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. The main dining hall, the chapel, Wallace Wade, the Bryan Center, the plaza are all under construction or about to be under construction, which makes it a little limited. Cranes abound.
Local Area:
Durham isn't exactly known for its Town-Gown relations, but that's largely the students' fault in my opinion. Students who do go out into the community, either as consumers or for service, often find that it's a very enriching part of their Duke experience. Durham has such an interesting history that I find going to school here a big plus. The Triangle is a fabulous pocket of liberal intellectuals. I could see myself living in Durham for the rest of my life.
Campus Housing:
It's kind of hit-or-miss. In general, Greeks and SLGs (Selective Living Groups) control most of the best real estate, which can make it hard for independents. The new housing model tried to rectify this, but it just ends up confusing. Freshman dorms are great - everyone loves living on East Campus - but it can be disorienting to move off of East sophomore year and find your friends scattered around West and Central. This is a big reason for the sophomore slump. You can end up living in Few with AC and nice rooms...or in Wannamaker with a no-substance policy, no AC, and far from everything. It's Russian Roulette.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Duke students are generally very happy with their experience, but it's not impossible to find students who imagine they'd be happier somewhere else. Great academics, a vibrant social life, and the beauty of campus make this school an easy choice for many. However, a lot of students are peeved by the top-down social programming they see coming from Duke's administration to counter the fraternity- and sorority-dominated student programming. Students and the administration are still trying to find the right balance of power and a unified direction, but the friendships students have forged with peers and professors easily make up for whatever shortcomings they might perceive.
Duke is one of the top academic schools in the country, but that's not its only hook. You'll never see Harvard's basketball team in the Final Four, or Yale students camping out for weeks to get sports tickets. Obviously, basketball shouldn't be your major concern in choosing a college, but it is often used as an example because it typifies the difference between Duke and so many other top universities. There's an emphasis on friends and fun here, and it's important to consider these aspects as well as academics when you're choosing a school. Remember, you're choosing the place you'll spend the next four years of your life, not just the name that shows up on your degree at the end.

Congratulations STEM Students!
Congratulations to the dozens of SUSD high school students who joined schools from throught the region in Saturday's all-day STEM competition at Delta Community College and thanks to Delta for hosting this year's event. The teams received guest lectures and competed in math and physics tests, a geology project and bridge and tower building engineering competitions. This year, teams from Stagg, Chavez, Edison and SECA high schools joined in the fun, spending the day focused on STEM skills.
Thank You Love Stockton!
A great thank you to the members of Love Stockton who came out to work on school gardens and landscaping Saturday. This year the Love Stockton teams hoed, planted and beautified campuses at El Dorado, Elmwood, McKinley, Madison, Washington, and Health Careers Academy as well as more than a dozen schools in other districts, parks and sites around Stockton. The three-year-old program has taken on more than 175 projects to date and Stockton Unified schools have benefitted greatly.
Come out and see what a difference such organized volunteerism makes on our community. Check out the work by volunteer Dave Cicileo and his team, who have transformed and maintained the gardens at El Dorado every year. Special thanks also to Delta Tree Farms and others who donated supplies and plants! Thank you Love Stockton!
Student CAASPP Test Scores
September 1, 2015
Dear SUSD Parent,
As you may know California began giving the new California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) tests for students throughout the state last year. Stockton Unified students took the new test last spring and for the first time the assessment was taken online at various grade levels.
These tests measure knowledge and understanding of the new state standards, which we all know as the Common Core. Instruction in those standards also started last year.
The scores from this first test are lower in most districts, including ours, than they were the last time students took a state standardized test, two years ago. Your student's scores may be lower than expected or that you want to see.
This first year we will not rely on those scores for placement or progress. We absolutely expect much improved scores for the 2015-16 tests, which will be given next spring, and then we will be able to measure student progress. In fact, as our teachers refine and develop lessons for the new state standards, and our students get used to taking assessments online, we will see our scores improve year to year.

2 arrested after kids found in bar parking lot
PHOENIX — A Mesa couple is facing child endangerment charges after a Maricopa County sheriff's deputy found their young children alone in a car in a bar parking lot.
Officer Christopher Hegstrom says the deputy was on routine patrol late Friday night when he drove through a Cave Creek bar parking lot. He spotted the 3- and 4-year-old children in a car and stopped to investigate.
The deputy learned the family arrived at the restaurant and bar at about 8:30 p.m. At about 11 p.m. the parents took the children out to the car and went back inside so they could continue drinking.
The parents came out to the lot as the deputy was investigating and were highly intoxicated.
Mother Desiree David and father Landrey Alex were arrested. The girls are now in the custody of their grandmother.

Great satire! Got me to laugh out loud.
His words are also a perfect description of a New York State legislative session.
Sadly, while I miss the convenience I enjoyed living in other states of being able to buy wine at supermarkets or at shops like Trader Joes – what about the small businesses that are the mom-and-pop wine and liquor stores? How many will be closed and how many folks will be without work if this passes? Just want to make sure we're thinking about both sides.
another good one…
I love this drawing. Still laughing. Thanks.
I think the SNL skit has just been surpassed. For wit, humor and good taste. Hard to do with youthful sarcasm.
Definitly at the top of my Whine list. We live at a time of great material for cartoonists!
Although the satirical spin on wine and wine stores is humorous, a more educated view should be had by all. NYS limits one wine/liquor store license per person. This law has been on the books since prohibition. This may not matter to the cartoonist or his viewers, but it has been a restrictive law for any proprietor to grow his business in New York. NYS has found it convenient to allow multiple licenses at this time because it can raise some quick cash ? The answer is yes.
The license fees for these newly formed "multiple license" businesses is not clear yet. Existing wine and liquor stores WILL NOT be able to garner additional licenses to grow their businesses. Does this somehow sound like a hilarious set of circumstances ? It hardly has the ring of comedy to me ! The three-tier system (wholesaler,retailer,consumer), that has been in place for well over a half-century is going to throw the people who have been held to the current system, out on their ears. No referendum to allow these small business owners a chance to sell their licenses if they no longer would like to continue doing business ?
The way I see it, it is clear that NYS and big business can live happily ever after, in their continued quest to destroy the little guy. "Hey little guy stick around, I'm sure a backhanded slap will straighten you up". Sheesh.
de Rosier has neither the class, humor nor the intelligence of his predecessor Rex Babin. Rex, at least, took the time to learn something about the subject before drawing his cartoons.
Tell me, Mr. de Rosier – after being forced to follow arcane and outdated laws for nearly 75 years, will liquor store owners now be able to sell the mixers to go with the vodka, the cigar to go with the scotch, or the cheese & crackers to go with the wine we are still able to sell?
Will I be able to charge for shelf placement like Price Chopper does? (You don't think it's coincidence that either Coke or Pepsi are at eye level at the very ends of the soda aisle, did you?)
Will I be able to have vendors co-op my advertising? (You didn't think those full color photos of brand name items in the Sunday FSIs were paid for by supermarkets, did you?) How about allowing me to co-op buy with other stores to get a better price? They can buy hundreds of cases for multiple locations. It is against the law for liquor store owners to do that.
The things I just mentioned are the exact sort of things that makes this proposal not a free market move, but a move to reward a particular market segment at the sole expense of another.
Do your homework, Mr. de Rosier. You might be more effective then.

Noise Characteristics from Axial Flow Compressors24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917467View Description Hide Description
The conventional methods of design of axial flow compressors usually consider the losses introduced by the generation of noise to be of negligible magnitudes and therefore ignore them entirely in a study of compressors. As a result, there is scant information on the relation between the noise level and the performance properties of compressors. In the present paper an attempt is made at working out the basis of a method of evaluation of the noise characteristics from compressors. The method makes considerable use of the experimental findings of Beranek and Rudmose on noise due to airplane propellers. The analysis presented here considers the noise to be generated by a number of point sources of equal magnitudes but of random phase. The resultant intensity level of these point sources (presumed to be located at the tip of the compressor blades) is calculated on a statistical basis. The expected noise level is given as a function of blade tip speed, clearance between blades and stator case, number of blades and the power expended in driving the compressor.
Aerodynamic Noise and the Estimation of Noise in Aircraft24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917468View Description Hide Description
Noise resulting from the flow of air over the fuselage of an airplane has been investigated and found to depend principally on approximately the fifth power of the indicated air speed. The resulting emperical relation of noise level to airspeed is found to be quite useful in estimating the noise in the frequency range above 600 cps, for airplanes varying widely in size, shape, and method of propulsion. From this relation a method has also been evolved for making rough estimates of the weight of acoustical insulation necessary to reduce the noise in airplanes to a predetermined level.
Preliminary Estimate of a Hearing Damage Risk Criterion for Steady State Noise24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917469View Description Hide Description
Much of the lack of correlation between noise level and hearing damage is because of unsatisfactory theories which express the effect of frequency. It is possible to get a simple damage risk criterion, if one makes the following assumptions: (1) that hearing damage for those who work in noisy environment is a progressive auditory fatigue phenomenon, (2) that the fatigue is the same function of the stimulus in the inner ear for all frequencies, and (3) the sensation level is a similar function of the stimulus in the inner ear for all frequencies. The damage is, on this hypothesis, simply a function of the sensation level and varies with frequency in the same manner. Fletcher's calculation of the energy levels in the fluid near the basilar membrane as a function of sound pressure and frequency supports this theory. This analysis leads to the setting up of equal loudness contours for broad‐band noise which correspond to hearing damage contours. Such curves explain for the first time the 4000 cps "notch" in the audiograms of industrial workers. Research data taken from a survey of industrial noise serve to establish two octave band curves which tentatively appear to bracket the region for damage risk for daily exposure over many years to a steady state noise environment. When the noise exceeds 100 sones in any octave band, long exposure definitely appears to be damaging. When the noise does not exceed 50 sones in any octave band, there appears to be very little danger of hearing damage even after many years of working day exposure. These conclusions are supported by the few data available in the literature. Evaluation of clinical data, which have not yet been disclosed by industrial audiologists and otologists, should make it possible to confirm and more sharply define the damage risk levels.
Tentative Criteria for Noise Control Design24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917470View Description Hide Description
Presented in this paper is a set of criteria that have been developed and applied on numerous noise control problems. A wide range of confirmatory evidence and experiences has led us to view these criteria with some confidence, although we recognize that they are subject to modification on the basis of additional data which are continuing to accumulate. An essential feature of the criteria is that they incorporate a specification of frequency dependence (usually expressed by octave bands) as well as over‐all sound pressure level. Tentative criterion curves are presented for: (a) risk of permanent damage to the hearing mechanism under habitual exposure to (i) continuous spectrum noises and (ii) single frequency components; (b) speech communication conditions in terms of percentage intelligibility, voice level, distance between talkers, and type of vocabulary; (c) risk of annoyance to residential areas as dependent on type and previous noise conditioning of the community, daytime vs nighttime exposure, and the time pattern of the exposure. Emphasis is laid on the importance of interpreting these criteria in the light of the inherent variability among individuals in their responses to noise stimuli.
Propagation of Sound in a Water Spray Muffler24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917471View Description Hide Description
In many jet engine testing facilities, water sprays are installed in the exhaust piping to cool the exhaust gases to temperatures which will not damage the walls of the pipe. The water sprays appreciably alter the character of the sound propagation through the piping. The present paper discusses the dependence of the attenuation of sound on such characteristic parameters of the water‐spray muffler as its geometry, the amount of air circulated, the quantity of water sprayed, and the average sizes of the waterdroplets in the air stream. The attenuation of sound in the muffler is found to be due mainly to viscous losses in the boundary layer between waterdroplets and air. The theory discussed demonstrates that in order to achieve maximum sound attenuation through such a muffler there are optimum conditions as to quantity of water used and the method of its injection into the air stream. The relative velocity of the air stream to that of the injected water must lie within a critical range in order to fix the average size of the waterdroplets.
Some Data on the Performance of Sound Attenuating Treatments24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917472View Description Hide Description
An attempt has been made to obtain reliable information on the intrinsic performance of sound attenuatingtreatments used in the air flow passages (stacks, ducts, tunnels) of test cells and other aircraft engine test facilities. The apparent performance in a particular installation may be influenced by flanking transmission through the surrounding structure, by standing waves within the cell, by reflections at the ends of the treated section, by the radiation pattern at the exit, and by the spectral characteristics of the noise source for the measurements. These effects must be assessed separately if one is to obtain valid data on the attenuation value of the treatment itself. One can then correlate measurements from many installations and from laboratory experiments to yield generalized performance characteristics. Some results so obtained are given for (a) uniformly spaced absorptive baffles within and parallel to the air stream over a range of baffle thicknesses and separations, (b) absorptively lined sections of ducts, and (c) right‐angle bends with absorptive lining facing the incident sound. Illustrative of the generalization, the data on bends are fitted to a single curve plotted against the ratio of duct width to wavelength with good agreement where the absorptive lining satisfies certain scaling restrictions.
Noise Control for Eight‐ by Six‐Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917473View Description Hide Description
The noise produced by a large experimental supersonic windtunnel in which a shock wave was employed to produce high wind velocities and in which a jet engine was operating was sufficient to disturb residents of Cleveland within five miles during after‐midnight operations early in 1950. The disturbing noise extended from 5 cps to 8000 cps. Components between 4 and 20 cps were reduced by a series of resonators. Components between 20 and 700 cps were reduced by a set of six parallel lined ducts properly chosen in size and lined according to charts of P. M. Morse. Above 700 cps, the reduction was provided by a series of parallel absorbent baffles and two lined bends. The resultant acoustic muffler renders the noise unobjectionable even in nearby office buildings, without affecting significantly the aerodynamic performance of the windtunnel.

Effect of Different Types of Electrodes in Electrophonic Hearing24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917475View Description Hide Description
What Stevens has called the electrophonic effect, i.e., the sensation of hearing due to an electric current passed through the head, was first observed by Volta in 1800, and for many years it was thought to be a single phenomenon having a single cause. Jones, Stevens, and Lurie showed that at least three different kinds of sensation, involving three separate mechanisms, may result from electric currents applied to the head, but it now appears that electrophonic hearing is even more complicated than they supposed. Depending upon the kind of electrode system employed, a sinusoidal electric current gives rise to at least five phenomena. (1) Electrode immersed in salt solution in the ear (the most common method). The subject hears a complex tone, containing mostly second harmonic, suggesting the action of a square‐law transducer. (2) Electrode in contact with the epidermis of the meatus. The subject hears the first harmonic, and at low frequencies he may also hear a noise. (3) Electrode on the mucous tissue inside the middle ear (with the eardrum removed). The subject hears the first harmonic and/or a noise. (4) Large‐area electrode on the skin, any place on the head. Provided the skin is dry the subject hears the second harmonic; if it is wet, he hears nothing. (5) Moving electrode on the skin or on the roof of the mouth (fricative effect). This gives the strongest sensation of hearing. The subject hears either the first harmonic or the first and second harmonics, or the second harmonic alone, depending upon the applied voltage and upon the placement and the properties of the electrode. The experimental results seem to indicate that the hearing of a tone under any of these five conditions is probably due to vibrations set up outside the cochlea, although there appears to be at least four different transducing mechanisms. Contrary to earlier hypotheses the tympanic membrane is apparently not involved in the conversion of the electrical energy into mechanical vibration.
Antibiotics and the Cochlea24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917476View Description Hide Description
Electrophysiological study of the ototoxic effects of streptomycin in the cat has shown that prolonged treatment with large doses of the antibiotic may cause varying degrees of depression of the microphonic response of the cochlea, with or without comparable reduction in the amplitude of the response of the auditory nerve. Hydroxystreptomycin exhibits this specific toxicity in a much higher degree, while certain preparations of neomycin cause rapid and complete loss of the functions of both the microphonic mechanism and of the nerve. Commercial dihydrostreptomycin, on the other hand, usually causes an enhancement of the microphonic response and, at the same time, depression and splintering of the action potential patterns of the nerve. The nature of the ototoxic action and its significance for the study of auditory physiology are discussed.
New Types of Ear Wardens24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917477View Description Hide Description
On the basis of experience with previous models, new ear wardens have been developed in an effort to improve the intelllgibility of speech heard through the wardens and the protection of the hearing of the wearer, and to provide him with maximum comfort. One of these wardens attenuates the whole frequency range important for hearing, one serves as a low pass filter. The choice between them depends upon the characteristics of the noise encountered and the activity of the wearer. Experiments have been carried out to assess the protection afforded under a variety of conditions in both industrial and military situations.
Recent Advances in Hearing Aids24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917478View Description Hide Description
The experience gained in fitting a large number of impaired persons with hearing aids is presented, showing illustrative ranges of impairment between 30 and 100 decibels fitted with three progressively powered hearing aids. General features of each hearing aid are discussed, showing the circuits and arrangements for peak clipping and automatic gain control. The microphone, air and bone receivers are described, considering features developed for providing optimum reliability in service, such as moistureproofing and design arrangements providing miniaturization concomitant with ruggedness.
Noise Audiometry24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917479View Description Hide Description
Audiometric tests (pure tones and speech) were conducted on deafened ears in quiet and at several levels of calibrated white noise. The cases were classed into six groups based upon results of their threshold audiograms. "Recession" describes the gradual approach toward normal levels with increasing noise of masking curves obtained from such ears. In cases displaying recruitment recession was relatively rapid, although not complete in some cases. A pure tone‐to‐speech perception ratio was established between the three audiometer frequencies within the speech range and the level of the 50 percent spondee score. Corrections were applied for (1) the type of loss and (2) the subject's unfamiliarity with the quietness of audiometric test rooms. This ratio is expected to differentiate speech losses as to their auditory or extra‐auditory origin. From the results of speech tests, the "Social Adequacy Index for Hearing" in noise was evaluated in the same manner customarily used under quiet conditions. Adjustment of the test results was necessitated because of the narrowing of the "Useful Auditory Area" induced by noise. The SAI frequently increased but in some cases decreased with noise, indicating the relative hearing efficiency in noise of deafened subjects.
Perception of Speech by Deafened Listeners and Its Relation to the Design of Hearing Aids24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917480View Description Hide Description
This paper describes a method of calculating the articulation scores which a talker‐listener pair will obtain in terms of the response of the hearing aid, the audiogram (both bone and air) of the listener, and talking level of the talker, and the proficiency factor of the talker‐listener pair. This method was used to calculate the articulation scores for all the talker‐listener pairs and the six kinds of hearing aids used in the test at Harvard made by Davis and his associates. The calculated and observed results agree within the experimental error. The philosophy underlying the method of calculation is used to predict the ideal type of response to be used by a deafened listener. It leads to the following simple rule. The ideal response R in db gain at any frequency is given by , where β A is the hearing loss by air conduction, β B is hearing loss by bone conduction, and α I is the over‐all gain (same for all frequencies) to bring the speech level at the listener's ear to its optimum value. If the values of at the three frequencies 500, 1000, and 2000 chs are examined and the average of the two highest values called β2, then the maximum value of α I is given by . The optimum gain α I is, in general, less than α I (max), and so a means of lowering the gain in the set must be provided. When α I (max) calculates to be negative, then the optimum gain α I is equal to α I (max). These gains are all with reference to a speaker 100 cm from the listener, and speaking so that his average level at the listener's ear is 66 db. If the speaker moves farther away or talks softer, then it is counted a negative gain or a loss. If he moves closer or talks louder it is counted as a gain.
Signal Detection in Hearing24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917481View Description Hide Description
A question is raised regarding the operation of the two time constants in hearing. The short‐time constant of about 15 milliseconds, due presumably to the cochlear filter system, is a "signal amplitude integrator." The long‐time constant of about 0.5 second, due presumably to the central nervous system, is a "signal power integrator." Under some conditions not yet understood, the short‐time constant can be directly observed by signal duration experiments without interference from the long‐time constant. Some experiments were performed on the detection of pure tones in white noise in which both "signal detections" and "false alarms" were recorded. It was found that the listener does not treat errors of the "signal miss" type in the same manner as he treats errors of the "false alarm" type. For signal detectabilitles ranging from 30 to 90 percent a typical observer will have an almost imperceptable false alarm probability, usually much less than 1 percent. This result will be discussed in the light of the theoretical behavior of the two integration mechanisms mentioned above.
In Search of the Missing 6 Db24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917482View Description Hide Description
The unexplained difference in sound pressure in the ear canal which appears to exist when equally loud low frequency tones are presented alternately from an earphone and from a loudspeaker has bedeviled acousticians for many years and, unfortunately, still continues to do so. There are presented here the results of some of the measurements carried out at the Bell Telephone Laboratories which show the magnitude of the effect and various attempts at explaining it. While no satisfactory explanation has been found, it is hoped that publication of these results will stimulate interest in the problem.
A Case of Tonal Uniaural Diplacusis24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917483View Description Hide Description
During a current investigation of ears with chronic high frequency tonal gaps, it was found that some sort of uniaural diplacusis is usually associated with this type of hearing abnormality. Generally this uniaural diplacusis takes the form of a "rough" or "noisy" sensation within certain frequency ranges. In one subject, however, the distortion is definitely tonal in character; in particular, frequencies from 2700 to 3300 and from 3900 to 4500 cps are heard as two or more separate tones. Extensive tests show that when an objective frequency F (within the above ranges and below 60 db SPL) is presented, one or more of the following tones is heard in addition to F: 2F‐3600, 2(3600)‐F, 3F‐2(3600), 3(3600)‐2F. (These tones represent the difference tones heard in a normal ear when F and an objective tone of 3600 cps are presented simultaneously.) Also, rough beats are heard at threshold for frequencies from 3500 to 3700, with a null point at 3600 cps. Finally, when the acoustic stimulation consists of alternate one‐second tones and silence, the silent period is filled with a 3600‐cps "after‐clang." These results suggest some basic instability of this ear at 3600 cps. There is, however, no persistent tinnitus. The similarity of the observed effects to the "personal tone" reported by Flottorp and to the "tinnitus beats" of Wegel is discussed.
Ultrasonic Attenuation in Human Skull Bone24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917484View Description Hide Description
Some measurements have been made on attenuation in bone in order to provide basic information needed in certain medical applications of ultrasonics. Valid data are difficult to obtain because of inherent variability in bone thickness and structure, and because adequately fresh bone samples are not easy to obtain. A special "bone gun" was used to obtain disks from cadaver skulls, and measurements were made on some 35 of these disks within a few hours after death. Attenuation coefficients (in db/cm) were determined by measuring the insertion loss of samples of different thickness. The attenuation increases by more than 60 db/cm over the range from 0.26 to 3.5 megacycles, but the function is not linear. A possible mechanism for the nonlinear behavior is suggested.

The Information of Elementary Auditory Displays24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917486View Description Hide Description
Whereas the ear's sensitivity for detecting a difference in frequency between two tones is remarkably acute, the ability of listeners to identify (and name) tones presented in isolation is relatively poor. When the frequency of a single tone (in the frequency range 100–8000 cps) is varied in equal logarithmic steps (and when the sound level is arbitrarily varied to reduce loudness cues), the amount of information transferred is about 2.3 bits. (The equivalent proficiency of response for an informational transfer of 2.3 bits is perfect identification among only 5 tones.) The amount of information that can be transferred is, within rather wide limits, independent of the number of tones and the range of frequencies employed.

The Acoustics Design of the Large Council Chambers, Permanent Headquarters of the United Nations, New York24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917493View Description Hide Description
The design of large parliamentary chambers for conferences conducted in many languages presents a number of new acoustics design problems. Not only must the acoustic environment be "comfortable," but it must be possible to hear clearly a person speaking in any part of the delegates area, either directly or as simultaneously translated into any of four or five languages. The design and isolation of the many booths for translators, radio, and press surrounding these rooms was the subject of much study. The general isolation of noise from surrounding service areas and outdoor sources, such as traffic on the East River and in the air, were also considered. Special attention was given to the coordination of the sound reinforcing system with the acoustic design of the chambers. Preliminary articulation tests have been conducted in these rooms and the results are presented.
The Reflection from Irregular Surfaces24(1952); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1917494View Description Hide Description
The problem of the reflection of acoustical waves from an infinite wall, having prescribed irregularities or a prescribed distribution of acoustical material upon it, is formulated in terms of an integral equation. By taking the Fourier transform of the equation it can be reduced to a form easily handled by numerical techniques. Expressions for scattering and absorption cross sections can be obtained without actually solving the equation. Much information of a qualitative nature can be obtained from inspection of the equation. An "index of diffusion" is introduced which is a measure of the effectiveness of a given surface in breaking up the reflected wave. The application of the above methods to simple scattering surfaces (e.g., strips and pillars) will bez discussed.

Brian Rafalski of the Red Wings controls the puck in front of Torrey Mitchell of the San Jose Sharks on May 6, 2011, at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
- Filed Under
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Brian Rafalski has played through the pain of a bad back and knee for a while now and might decide he can't continue. Canada's Sportsnet reported this afternoon that Rafalski is retiring. No sources were cited, and Wings general manager Ken Holland told the Free Press he had not received such information.
• Update: Rafalski retirement is confirmed. "I know there are tons of rumors out there," Holland said. "Rafi has told me he's not 100% sure what he's doing next year. I've had a couple of conversations with him, and he's doing a lot of thinking about whether ...

Hilarious 9-Year-Old Boy Steals the Show While Forecasting the Weather on TV (VIDEO)Meredith Carroll
William Hallam, 9, has a fascination with the weather, which was quite evident when he appeared on local news station KVLY in Fargo, North Dakota to help with the nightly forecast.
His interest in all things rain, snow and fog is only surpassed by his star power, as he easily outshines the actual meteorologist whom he appears alongside on camera.
The news anchor asks William at the end of the weather segment for his resume, although after you watch his performance, you'll probably agree he should just skip the interview process and be hired on the spot:

For the moment and for all the currently active projects (Chandler, Cosmo, PyLucene, etc...), we're still using Bugzilla and have no plan to switch. We're just too busy right now...

NARRAGANSETTŌĆöThroughout the years, Charles ŌĆ£TedŌĆØ Wright has been everything in Narragansett, from a town councilman to a successful local businessman. His nickname, ŌĆ£Mr. Narragansett,ŌĆØ attests to the relationships that Wright has developed within the town. In recognition of his importance to Narragansett, the Narragansett Chamber of Commerce has selected Wright as the 2012 recipient of the James M. Kelso Community Service Award.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆö At Tuesday evening's School Committee meeting, preceding the public forum, George Kenney, Chair of the Chariho School Committee, read aloud the School Committee's press release entitled ŌĆ£Negotiations Statement #1ŌĆØ to a packed auditorium of over 300 teachers, students, parents, and supporters. Earlier that evening, teachers had participated in a protest to voice their concerns about salary freezes and cuts in longevity and master degree pay. The teachers have been working without a contract since August 31, 2012.
It's mid-October and that means two things: Pumpkins are everywhere and it's time to start thinking about the upcoming election.
In this week's Standard-Times, we bring you the latest on a clean water-initiative that has been championed by local and state officials and is up for approval this November. In addition, we catch you up on all the happenings at the EWG and NK School Committees and present you a look at a special breast cancer survivor from North Kingstown that wants to share her story.
All that and much, much more in this week's Standard-Times. Pick up a copy today!
This is the season of political ads on TV and radio. Some of them are silly while others are insults to the intelligence of voters.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is hammering the old reliable Democrat vote-getter in Rhode Island: the Republicans want to take away your Medicare. Whitehouse is shown in his ad addressing nodding and smiling senior citizens who appear to be in a nursing home environment.

NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Behind a locked door ŌĆō to avoid being interrupted by customers; surely a first for a businessman ŌĆō Jim Grogan spent Sunday packing up Nautical Impressions, the sea-themed shop on Updike Park that heŌĆÖs operated for 14 years.
As rousing chanteys played in the background, he talked about the decision he and his wife, Dale, owner of The World Store whose entrance is directly opposite and only a few feet from his, had to make. ŌĆ£Our accountant said weŌĆÖd just been put into a corner,ŌĆØ said Jim Grogan.
WARWICK ŌĆō Anne Holst remembers growing up at Clouds Hill Farm, in the Cowesett area in a Victorian home ŌĆō passed down through generations of women ŌĆō as a place where goats roamed, hay was cut and her mother, the legendary Nancy Allen Holst, kept a donkey which she rode to the neighborŌĆÖs each morning for coffee.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō If all goes according to plan, the massive pine in Updike Park that has served as the town Christmas tree for many years will make its final appearance in the spotlight this holiday season.

Mideast Crisis 2] (MEC2) is a total conversion for 'Command and Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars' set in the near future, letting you use modern technology (such as the Abrams, F-35 and Hind) alongside future technology (such as Drones, Airships and Medibots) in a conflict ranging from Jerusalem to Beirut.
I find those rather silly, sorry I just do :p .
Yea, they are a bit "cute"...but honestly its probably one of my favorite looking units in the whole mod.
that looks amazing...
That looks like a flying whale... That of course is a good thing. :D
Looks rly nice 10/10
thats looks awesome!!! good job
The real armed forces of the world has thought about the idea to use blimps for surveillance and transportation so one shouldn't be too suprised if they starts using them! :D
We have blimps in iraq there called aerostat's, so this fits in nicely :)
Israeli Child: Daddy why are the clouds talking
in hebrew:אבא למה העננים מדברים?
what the hell is thet
now i know what this white blop in the sky is. very nice shading and texture. making me think about the new world may be like this.
These have got to be one of my favorite units (Look wise) from any game. Really wish you'd make an armed version :)
AWACS – In an attempt to make surveillance of borders and settlements more effective and less expensive, Israel turned to airships. The first designs were little more than blimps with cameras on the bottom, but recent models are quite advanced. Wide and flat, they make stable surveillance platforms and are equipped as standard with visual, infra-red and motion-sensing cameras on stabilized mounts. No detail escapes these devices. Electronic marquee banners along the sides pass on information relevant to anybody in the area. As the threat of air attack from ballistic and cruise missiles, hijacked civilian aircraft and military warplanes has increased, these blimps have been retrofitted with lightweight radomes up top to make sure Israel is never caught off-guard. AWACS blimps in military service are digitally linked to vehicles and troops in the field, and combatants can use information from the blimps to fire much further with accuracy than they otherwise could.

A tasty Cuban dish from Chicago chef Randy Zweiban.
Game plan: Chef Zweiban prefers slender Chinese eggplant with pale purple skin because it doesn't need to be peeled and doesn't have a bitter flavor, but you can substitute regular eggplant. For regular eggplant, salt the pieces, set them in a colander to drain, and place a weight on them (a small bowl works) for 15 minutes to 1 hour. Pat them dry with paper towels before using.
Beverage pairing: Boutari Moschofilero, Greece. This ratatouillelike dish could go with almost any wine from light red to rosé to white. The latter choice, however, is the most exciting, as the bright pick-me-up of this Greek white wine contrasts with the richness of the eggplant, and its beguiling perfume of white flowers and citrus zest lifts the whole ensemble.
Made with fresh-baked pumpkin, vanilla bean, and plenty of sweet spices.
A savory Cuban side dish made with tropical sweet potato.
A sweet and savory dish perfect for warm weather (or when you just need to feel a little tropical).

IPMA's History, compiled by Klaus Pannenbäcker and Sebastian Dworatschek for our 40th Anniversary, in 2005
Did you know that IPMA (International Project Management Association) is our third name in over 49 years? Our first name was IMSA (International Management Systems Association).
In 1964, a European aircraft project manager, Pierre Koch of France, invited Dick Vullinghs from The Netherlands and Roland Gutsch from Germany to discuss the benefits of the Critical Path Method (CPM) as a management approach. CPM showed a way to manage huge projects with international sponsors, uncertain results as well as with complex influences and dependencies from different technical disciplines. This group was chaired by Yves Eugene from AFIRO (Association Française d´Informatique et de Recherche Opérationnelle). Professor Arnold Kaufmann suggested an INTERnational NETwork-INTERNET.
1965 This group of people founded the IMSA, independent from companies and officially located in Switzerland, the most respected and politically neutral country in Western Europe in these days of the "ColdWar". Insiders called this decision very beneficial for Roland Gutsch. He lived in Friedrichshafen at the North shore of the Lake of Constance so it was very convenient for him to take the ferry to Switzerland for chocolates and cigarettes.
1967 The Czechoslovak Project Management Science Group invited to join the first "all-state" conference on the "Methods of Network Analysis" in Prague. PhD Vladimira Machova was the host beside the political officials in these days.
Then, with the sponsorship of the International Computer Centre in Rome, managed by Professor Claude Berge, the first International World Congress took place in Vienna. From then on INTERNET was the official association name. A young organiser of the first World Congress was Gerold Patzak, who was the "driver" of the Austrian Member Association, and became a professor in Austria and the USA.
More Details of this 2005 Compilation
This compiled history was produced as a gift for IPMA´s 40 Years Anniversary; it was distributed to the IPMA family during the birthday dinner of the 19th IPMA World Congress in New Delhi. This first version 2005 shows a first documentation with the following chapters:
Chapter 0 Introduction
Chapter 1 Organization and Officers
Chapter 2 National Associations (incomplete)
Chapter 4 Symposia and World Congresses
Chapter 5 Expert Seminars & Workshops
Tribute to Roland Gutsch
A tribute to Roland Gutsch, one of IPMA's founders, an outstanding contributor, and longtime president, shares much about his contributions, and the history of IPMA. Compiled by Klaus Pannenbäcker, and published in 2009 at PM World Today, see: The World of Project Management remembers a Pioneer!

Who says songs about Jesus have to suck. Here's a good set of mostly straightforward gospel songs (mostly). First I want to talk about the cover image I used. Now these three crosses, exactly like those in the picture are all over this area….every road just about you will see them. They first started appearing around here in the mid to late 80's and there were many local legends about them. These legends state that a local millionaire had a near death experience during which he had a vision of God who told him he would spare his life if he spent the rest of it building these wooden crosses and placing them beside highways. Other parts of the legend state that some folks didn't take too kindly to these crosses being on their land or near their land or what have you and tried to tear them down. Supposedly one guys tractor suddenly caught on fire, one guy's boat engine died and he was stranded in a lake. One guy even supposedly had a heart attack whilst trying to remove the wooden crosses. There were also stories of lightning striking them but nothing happening, and them surviving forest fires, floods and hurricanes.
Now I don't know how true those last parts are, but a little research has confirmed that the man in question was indeed a succesful businessman from Craigsville, WV named Bernard Coffindaffer. He had a heart attack in 1982 which was when he recieved his holy vision and life's mission. Pretty interesting stuff I thought.
Here is an article about his death in the NY Times
There is even an organization that carried on his mission after his death called "Christian Crosses"
Here is some more history about Mr. Coffindaffer
Have a good Easter folks, and in the words of Billy Joe; "If you don't love Jesus go to hell"

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Hamas security forces arrested six protesters in Gaza City on Tuesday at a women-led demonstration demanding national reconciliation, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine said.
DFLP central committee members Mahmoud Khalaf and Nabil Attallah were among those detained at the weekly protest organized by women's groups including the general union of Palestinian women, DFLP said in a statement.
DFLP leader Saleh Zaydan told Ma'an that party members Nabil Dyab and Khaled Abu Sharekh were also detained.
Zaydan denounced the aggressive response of security forces and called for the protesters' immediate release. He urged the Hamas government to investigate the incident and to apologize for the arrests.
Witnesses told Ma'an that internal security forces detained a number of civil society leaders as they left the protest.
Hamas security forces attacked female activists at last week's demonstration, but protest leaders vowed to continue their campaign to end the division between Hamas and Fatah.
"We were verbally insulted and hit by fists and sticks. Police tried to arrest some of us but despite that we will continue with our campaign which calls for ending the division," Iktimal Hamad, a member of the union's secretariat, told Ma'an after the Nov. 6 protest.
The Hamas government apologized for the attacks on Nov. 6 and promised to investigate.
"The government clearly apologizes for what has happened, and the Ministry of Interior will form a commission of inquiry to determine the circumstances of the incident, because what happened does not reflect the culture of the government or the Palestinian people," director of Hamas' media office Ehab al-Ghusein said on Wednesday.

(Butch Dill/AP)One day after Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was suspended indefinitely for violating team rules, a Crimson Tide strength coach has been placed on administrative leave for providing impermissible benefits to Clinton-Dix, The Tuscaloosa News reports.Corey Harris, an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Alabama, was placed on leave after it was discovered that Harris made a short-term loan to Clinton-Dix over the summer. The amount was less than $500, and Clinton-Dix provided bank records to Alabama's compliance department that show a withdrawal in the amount he said he repaid to Harris.Harris' loan would be in violation of NCAA Bylaw 184.108.40.206, which states that "an institutional employee or representative of the institution's athletics interests may not provide a student-athlete with extra benefits or services, including, but not limited to ... a loan of money." The Alabama compliance office also reportedly found evidence suggesting Harris had a connection with a representative of a sports agent, but there was no evidence to show that Clinton-Dix had any contact with an agent.
