Ramamurthy, S and Murugesan, K and Rajendran, R (1986) Design of Turbine Rotor Blade profiles. Project Report. NAL, NAL Bangalore.Full text not available from this repository.
The initial turbine stage design by GTRE for their GTX engine had some scope for improvement in performance with regard to surface loading distribution.This aspect was required to be looked into through this sponsored project by GTRE.The cooled rotor blade profiles designated as P-27/GTX-35(Scheme 8) were redesigned to relieve the excessive forwared loading of the existing design and to achieve moderate diffusion along the suction surface.The redesign and modification of these blade profiles were carried out through an iterative procedure using both design and analysis solutions based on singularity method.The redesign of turbine blade was carried out at tip,mean and hub sections.Blade parameters like pitch,chord,throat,inlet and outlet flow angles were maintained more or less same as that of the given blade profile.Blade camber,stagger and thickness were allowed to vary to get the required velocity distribution.The redesigned tip and mean profiles showed an improvement in velocity distribution.The hub profile was not modified but only reoriented at reduced stagger and analysed theoretically.This work was sponsored and funded by GTRE,Bangalore for the development of their turbine stages.

Property taxes are the single largest revenue source for Pleasanton. Due to foreclosures, non-payments and downward reassessments, they've been dipping in many municipalities and counties as home valuations continue to drop. In Pleasanton, the 2010-11 fiscal year property tax collections were greater than budget estimates.
Sales tax revenue is the city's second largest revenue source, accounting for more than 21% of total revenues. Again, based on economic projections at the start of the past fiscal year on July 1, 2010, Finance Director Emily Wagner and her staff projected receipts of $17,348,298. It wasn't as bad after all. Fiscal year-end receipts were 6.7% better than projected.
Besides increased revenue, expenditures also were down as the city ended the fiscal year with 41 unfilled authorized positions. Every department cut back, scheduled replacements of older vehicles were put on hold, and capital expenditures after the completion last year of the $10 million Firehouse Arts Center are close to zero. In addition, the city employees union agreed to a new contract that will have employees paying 2% of their pension costs for the first time, 4% starting next year. Negotiations are under way with unions representing the police force and firefighters, seeking similar agreements.
In good economic times, revenue surpluses have usually been added to the city's "rainy day" reserves to provide a financial cushion in a budget shortfall. Or part of the extra funds is set aside for capital expenditures. In its wisdom this year, the City Council, at the recommendation of Wagner and City Manager Nelson Fialho, approved using the $3.5 million surplus for replacement and repairs that have been delayed too long and to add $1 million to the city's self-insurance fund, which was drawn down by $3.5 million as a result of costly lawsuits by Urban Habitat and the State Attorney General over the city's housing cap, which the courts ruled illegal.
Still more to its credit, the council agreed to set aside $1 million of the surplus to establish a fund that will start paying down the city's unfunded pension liabilities that total as much as $121 million. Much like paying off a home mortgage, the city can continue paying the obligatory CalPERS payments to stay even or it can make booster payments to actually start paying down the principle. Trimming the unfunded pension liability was the right step for the council to take.

Poll: Charlie Crist 49%, Marco Rubio 35%
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephne survey of likely GOP Primary voters in the state finds Crist outdistancing Rubio 49% to 35%. Four percent (4%) like some other candidate, and 12% are undecided.
In mid-August, Crist was beating Rubio by 22 points among GOP Primary voters – 53% to 31%. That was Rasmussen Reports' first poll of next year's Republican Primary race.
The fact that Crist has fallen below 50% in a primary against a lesser known opponent suggests potential vulnerability.
...Twenty-three percent (23%) of GOP Primary voters have a very favorable opinion of Crist, while 13% view him very unfavorably.
Rubio is viewed very favorably by 21% and very unfavorably by just three percent (3%). But 23% of primary voters don't know enough about the Cuban-American politician from Miami to express even a soft opinion of him.
At this very early stage of the campaign, Rasmussen Reports considers the very favorable and very unfavorable figures more significant than the overall favorability totals. The GOP Primary is scheduled for August 24 of next year.
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of GOP Primary voters at least somewhat approve of the job Crist is doing as governor, while 42% disapprove. Fourteen percent (14%) strongly approve, and 16% strongly disapprove. Those numbers are not terribly strong for an incumbent Governor in his own party.

Two men in ski masks and dark jackets grabbed a gas station clerk during a robbery at a Carmel Mountain Road gas station early Friday morning, San Diego police said.
The thieves entered the Shell gas station near Stoney Peak Drive about 1 a.m., police Officer David Stafford said.
The men, believed to be in their 20s, demanded cash from the clerk, then took off with the cash and cigarettes, Stafford said.
The clerk was not injured during the heist. The department's robbery unit is investigating.

This improvement on the classic paper airplane shows how far UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) can go. These prototypes were built at Queensland University of Technology. The first is a steerable plane using onboard electronics, sensors and controllable flaps to guide an airplane to a predetermined target. The second device follows nature's design and allows an electronics package to be dropped from a great height and perform work as it gently falls to the ground. This is simpler than parachute designs and is very inexpensive to manufacture. The potential of UAV's continue to grow and cheaper, more scalable technologies like this will only increase their adoption.

Retail clinics attract investors
Rising consumerism in healthcare has given rise to retail-based convenience health clinics throughout the United States. The concept has grown from an industry anomaly to a disruptive innovation, starting with only 60 stores in 2000 to nearly 2,000 clinics projected by the end of 2008. These clinics are clamoring for a piece of industry revenues, which are expected to reach nearly $4.5 billion by 2011, according to a new report from Kalorama Information.
This tremendous revenue stream has lured new market entrants while invigorating clinic expansion efforts in grocery stores, big box retailers, and other mass merchandisers. Big pharmacy retailers such as CVS/Caremark, which bought Minute Clinic, and Walgreens, which purchased Take Care Clinics, have already acquired clinic upstarts. If these deals are any indication, stand-alone retail clinic chains could become prime acquisition targets in 2008-2009. Expect major food/pharmacy retailers as well as private equity firms to participate in the bidding.
Clinic upstarts
With nearly 1,000 retail clinics in 35 states, the convenient care industry continues to grow in importance on the healthcare landscape. Today, 85% of this market is comprised of independent operators (not owned by chains), with the biggest being RediClinic and The Little Clinic. Many others have tapped this market, including Atlanticare, Aurora Quick Care, Checkups, Early Solutions Clinic, MedBasics, My Healthy Access, Quick Health, Now Medical Centers, SmartCare Family Medical Centers, Solantic, and Target Clinic Medical Associates.
The industry, however, is not expected to continue a rapid growth pace forever, hitting a plateau as the market shakes out those unable to survive--a phenomenon already in the works. Entering the market is one thing, but overcoming the barriers to success and turning profitable is another.
The fundamental stand-alone business model depends on leasing space in retail outlets and securing volumes of nearly 20-30 patients a day just to break-even. Generally, given low per-visit pricing ($20-$50 per visit), it takes two to three years for an individual location to turn a profit. We have already seen a few stand-alone clinics shutter operations, including Medical Marts, CheckUps (in Wal-Mart stores) and Corner Care Clinic (Medicine Shoppe).
To remain viable in an increasingly competitive market, independents have been pushing aggressive development plans, to:
- 1) achieve first-mover advantage
- 2) establish market leadership position through brand awareness and scale
- 3) align or joint venture with local nonprofit hospital operators
- 4) pursue ancillary revenue opportunities.
Regardless of the end goal, expansion demands give rise to both consolidation and private capital raising.
Interested parties
Although the convenient care market remains in transition, most indications point to strong industry fundamentals that are driving growth, such as rising healthcare costs, overbooked doctors' offices and overflowing emergency rooms, which prompt patients suffering from minor ailments to seek the services of affordable, walk-in retail clinics.
Other indicators that clinics are not a fad but a mainstay include the fact that payers are increasingly contracting with clinic operators; employers are promoting the clinics--if not establishing employer-based clinics—to help ease rising healthcare costs; the expectation of strong revenues/margins through the cost containment model; and high patient satisfaction for service in retail clinics.
Alerted to the industry's growth, attractive valuations, and consolidation trends, all of which provide a logical exit and equity return on their investment, private equity buyers remain interested in retail clinics. For example, Take Care got $77 million from private equity firm Beecken Petty O'Keefe & Co. prior to the Walgreen's deal. Prior to the CVS deal, Minute Clinic had backing from Bain Capital Ventures.
Today, RediClinic is operated by InterFit Health, which has received financial backing from AOL founder Steve Case's group Revolution LLC. The Little Clinic has received backing from Solera Capital LLC, based in New York, and Orlando-based Solantic has received $100 million from New York-based Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe. While private equity is expected to continue opportunistic purchases of retail clinic companies, they are more constrained by a difficult credit/debt market and a challenging stand-alone business model.
Reticence by private equity firms may give rise to strategic buyers in the retail clinic space. As evidenced by the CVS/MinuteClinic and Walgreens/Take Care deals, retailers are recognizing clinics' value--namely higher traffic, more prescriptions, and higher front-end sales. In fact, CVS stated in its 2006 Annual Report that the clinics drive more traffic to its stores and that approximately 25% of MinuteClinic patients are new CVS pharmacy customers.
It stands to reason that big retailers interested in attracting more pharmacy clientele will continue to build their in-house retail clinics. Since CVS bought Minute Clinic for $170 million in 2006, it has increased number of clinics from 83 to more than 500 (as of March 2008). Since Walgreens bought Take Care in 2006, it has branched out to nearly 150 clinics, with the projection of 400 stores by the end of 2008.
Other big-box retailers may follow. Wal-Mart has made clear its intentions of aggressively expanding retail clinics in its stores and currently uses a number of independent chains as host operators. Perhaps this relationship could lead to a strategic combination. Conversely, stores remain agnostic as to vendor relationships and capitalize on fragmentation to drive efficiencies and service. Watching from the sidelines are local nonprofit hospital operators who clearly benefit from local branding opportunities with retail centers to drive inpatient volume and ancillary business such as diagnostic imaging and surgery. These hospital systems may emerge as viable consolidators of local retail chains to improve their reach in a local market.
The retail clinic industry is a new and significant trend in healthcare delivery in the United States, which addresses basic problems with our healthcare system: cost and access. But as with innovations in other industries, early stages of development will witness significant capital-raising and M&A activity as the industry rapidly evolves and leaders emerge. Look for this activity to accelerate in 2008 and 2009.

Can I Get a Fat Transfer "Mommy Makeover" Without the Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 6
There are a lot of possibilities and combinations that are available. If there is skin with poor tone it will need to be removed
Brazilian butt lift without tummy tuck
There is alot of confusion by patients who want fat transfer from their belly/stomach/abdomen because they think they can get rid of their fat in their belly. If you have loose skin and loose muscles, especially after children, you will most likely need a tummy tuck if fat is removed and leaves loose skin, rippling and muscles.
It depends on how much fat you have. You should be at your ideal weight for at least 6 months before surgery. Losing any additional weight may compromise your results.
Can I Get a Mommy Makeover Without the Tummy Tuck?
Yes, but then it is not a mommy makeover per se. The procedures you are requesting are reasonable though.

By Greg Hunt—
It's time to shine up the cowboy boots, mosey down to Isanti and get your "Yee- Haw" on because rodeo weekend is here!
The annual Isanti Firefighters Professional Rodeo will be hosted July 12-13 in conjunction with the Isanti Rodeo Jubilee Days celebration, bringing a little of the old west to town.
"This is our 37th year, and we are still going strong," described Isanti Firefighters Rodeo Association organizer Tom Pagel. "We have some great new guys coming in to help with this year's rodeo, and we have added some additional bleachers for the fans."
There are still box suites available for both the Friday and Saturday performances, and there are some club seats available for the Saturday show. Folks interested in reserving those special seating options can call Marc at 612-669-2326 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Advance general admission tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for children 12 and under and are still available at several Isanti businesses or can be purchased under the "rodeo section" at www. isantifiredistrict.org. Tickets at the gate are $14 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. Children 3 and under are free.
The tickets are also good for the country rockin' concerts after each rodeo performance — Sterns County 17 on Friday night and Iron Horse Group on Saturday night.
Tough competitors and stock
Each rodeo performance begins at 6:30 p.m. But starting at 6 p.m., Mutton Bustin' will be held once again for children over 5 years old who weigh 55 lbs. or less. It's recommended to pre-register for Mutton Bustin' (with parent's permission) by clicking on the sheep in the rodeo section of the Isanti Firefighter's website or by calling 763-464-2508. If there are openings, kids can also register the night of the rodeo.
The tough stock of the Pickett Pro Rodeo Company and sub-contractor J Bar J Rodeo will be featured at the Isanti Firefighters Rodeos. The bulls were particularly tough last year, not allowing a single full ride for the money.
The Isanti Rodeo is once again coordinated on the same weekend with the Hamel, Minn. Rodeo and Spooner, Wis. Heart of the North Rodeo which creates consistent draws of top Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association competitors to the north land.
Here's a list of the top-ranked PRCA Great Lakes Circuit cowboy for each event, along with any high-ranking Minnesota competitors who may be seen at the Isanti rodeos:
All-Around Cowboy– Kyle Whitaker (Chambers, NE);
Bareback– Kyle Brennecke (Grain Valley, MO); 3rd– Tanner Aus (Granite Falls, MN);
Steer Wrestling– Jacob Burks (Lancaster, WI).
Team Roping– Header- Ryan Von Ahn (Sac City, IA); Healer- Gabe Gwaltney (Carthage, MO).
Saddle Bronc– Will Smith (Marshall, MO); 12th– Tyler Corrington (Hastings, MN); 13th– Bailey Webber (Buhl, MN).
Tie Down Roping– Chris Neal (Muldrow, OK); 2nd– Jody Green (Shakopee, MN).
Bull Riding– Sunshine Schwartz (Anoka, MN); 3rd– Matt Pojanski (Woodbury, MN); 4th– Brett Stall (Detroit Lakes, MN).
Leading the WPRA Great Lake Circuit for Barrel Racing is Jordan Talbot of Centerville, IA. Minnesotans ranked in the top 15 on the circuit are: Jodi Lee of Annandale (5th), Kara Posch of Holdingford (8th), Hailey Sheldon of Elk River (11th), Maren Luedemann of Buffalo (12th), and Lacey Kuschel of Sebeka (14th).
The weather forecast looks fantastic for this weekend, as does the forecast for some wild riding and roping at the Isanti Firefighters Rodeos. All proceeds go toward improvements to the Isanti Fire District.

Ron Paul Statement On March For Life
Former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul issued the following statement regarding this week's annual March for Life event:
"I extend best wishes to all those attending today's March for Life. Roe versus Wade, which usurped jurisdiction over abortion from state and local governments in order to deny the unborn's right to life, is one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in American history. None of our rights are secure when government denies the right to life of any group. It is no coincidence that the acceptance of abortion has been accompanied by a growth of government power in all areas. The devaluing of life caused by the casual acceptance of abortion has also spilled over into our foreign policy with the casual acceptance of 'preemptive' war and Presidential kill lists. Throughout my Congressional career I led the effort to end taxpayer-financing of abortion. It is outrageous that the federal government forces pro-life Americans to subsidize activities some believe is murder. Ending all federal funding and support for abortion—including Obamacare's abortion mandates– must be a priority for all who support life and liberty."

8:30 - What system have you worked on in the past that you're glad to be done with?
9:15 - Odd projects that are "finished" often launch new research.
9:45 - Collaboration with experimentalists.
13:30 - Computational chemistry as a guide to experiment.
15:00 - Nobel prize in Chemistry.
19:00 - Paul from ChemBark gives his prediction for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. See the full Google Hangout here.
21:00 - The H-Index
22:00 - Where does computational chemistry go from here?
23:00 - What are the limitations in computational chemistry? Chris talks about messy systems. Do we need more computing power or do we need a new theory?
28:00 - Accuracy in computational chemistry. Chad gives a bad analogy. No really, it's bad (it works perfectly in his head, though).
29:00 - More thoughts about collaboration with experimentalists. The take home: If you go to Prof Cramer and he says "We should write a proposal" it may just be because you haven't thought about it enough yourself.
31:00 - Chris explains what a wavefunction is (with a much better analogy than the one Chad gave).
33:00 - What is the life of a computational chemist like? What should a student do to prepare?
39:00 - Chris brings up the impostor syndrome. Two episodes in a row now. Chad loves nothing more than listing the things he's not good at.
41:00 - Computational chemistry in Sci-Fi boks and movies.
45:00 - The Fortnightly Scientist. Chris talks about grandfather to his children Paul Dowd and his work with Non-Kekulé biradicals. Chemists will love this section. Non-chemists may need the wikipedia article to understand (but it will be worth your time. These molecules are pretty cool).

And then there was three…..and that's all you need for a race!
A 3rd confirmed entry for the 'Monohull One-Design Race' – the first 'one-design nonstop solo around the world race' on the 50th anniversary of the S&S 34 debut in 1969!
START: September 2019 from Sydney-Sydney via turning mark of Honolulu, Hawaii.
ENTRIES: Brian Caldwell, Linda Pasquariello, Derek Desaunois + (potential 4th Italian entry)
…The idea for the first 'one-design' nonstop solo around the world race stemmed from Brian's frustration of mounting costs of disposable 'prototype' multi-million designs of the nonstop solo Vendee Globe race. The idea was for a race infinitely more accessible to the layman aboard vastly proven designs with competitive one-design while remaining 'sustainable'. A race where it would come down to the sailor vs the machine and where 'elderly but seaworthy boat design doesn't invalidate a chance of winning the next event… The idea was given birth during his yacht delivery of the S&S 34 "Stray Bit"…

I've found that I really love the clean minimalistic look of the Nomos Zurich Datum. Unfortunately, I have a hard time spending that kind of money on a watch - especially when I don't have it!
I'm hoping that someone could recommend me a similar look on much more of a budget, say around $300 max. The lower the better! ;)

Chowing At THE RANCH Saloon: Hearty Eats Minus The White Linen
Anne Marie Panoringan
If you think a review of THE RANCH Restaurant also speaks for its saloon, it doesn't. Even though they share a parking lot and culinary team doesn't mean anything else is alike. And we're not only talking atmosphere-- although getting your 10-step on isn't completely out of the question.
We initially hesitated because our expectations of bar food. Unless it utilizes the term "gastropub." the deep-fried, sauce-laden munchies in most joints resemble more county fair than restaurant fare.
Yet we knew a duo of Rossi chefs occupies a kitchen with a juxtaposition of assertiveness and refinement on the other side of that dividing wall. Huge effing wagon-wheel breads and cowboy steaks served with composed deviled eggs and whimsical buttered popcorn ice cream captures an audience looking for an updated Mr. Stox. . . but we digress.
Owning a dining room like this sets the bar high for THE RANCH Saloon. Andrew Edwards knows it, and stomps his boots on that bar with the confidence only an executive who owns the building can. He visits patrons, introduces bands and carries himself on the dance floor like a one-man variety show. And the food? Not what we were counting on.
Anne Marie Panoringan
What it came down to was seafood. Yeah, we're talking fish in a saloon. Despite a selection of ribs, wings and burgers, we hoarded Chesapeake Bay blue crab sliders sandwiched between pliable potato buns. A smear of harissa-tinged mayo and peppering of arugula scratched our throat. Juicy, acidic heirlooms eased the itch. Our trio of grilled yellowtail tacos gave a swift kick with layers of habanero salsa, avocado, and smoked chile crema; its flavors almost too layered for the denim dining crowd. Housemade ketchup subs for cocktail sauce in a basket of plump, Carolina fried shrimp as hearty as any pile of chicken tenders. The tendency to eat beef or pork ceased to exist as we rotate between snacks. We can't believe it, either.

My arms knifed through the water and I could feel my hips rotate and drive with my freestyle kick toward the wall. When I touched the wall, I looked up and the sun shone brightly on my head and shoulders. The water was warm, just right, I thought- as I eased my body lower to get ready to push-off the wall for the final 50 meters in the set. The coach nodded encouragingly and said, "I like your elbows and your pull – make sure you rotate your body to provide more power."
Gary Hall runs a program called The Race Club in Islamorada, Florida, just a few miles from Key Largo in the Florida Keys. It is a training camp for swimmers of all ages. But what is unusual about it is not only its elite and honored staff, but its core foundation and principles-based training.
Gary has been an Olympian in 3 Olympics – and has 3 medals and an untold list of experiences to show for it. His son has also been in 3 Olympics – they are the only father-son combination in history to have participated in 3 different Olympics each. He has 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls.
Gary Hall was my hero for swimming when he swam for NCAA swimming champion Indiana under the legendary James "Doc" Counsilman. I liked the fact then that he was a team player, extraordinarily good at his sport, but not brash and outspoken. He also went on to graduate from medical school and to become an ophthalmologist. I was somewhat curious to see what kind of man Gary had become and quite frankly, I wanted a vacation where my son and I could be together and work to improve our swimming.
I first called his daughter Bebe who is enthusiastic about the program and the experience from the word "go". She is the quarterback who coordinates the training camp staff and schedules and does 100 little things that make a big difference. She is as passionate about the concept as her brother Gary, its founder and her Dad.
In an era of steroid usage, pro athletes' troubles with the law, and general lack of role models, Gary is refreshingly different for a world-class athlete and coach. He is a good role model in an era where too much selfishness and lack of team play, not to mention after-hours shenanigans predominate the news. Gary turned 56 years young on August 7th of this year, but he is eternally youthful and enthusiastic in his outlook and in his worldview.
My son Ben who is 17 (a high school senior) and my wife and I have traveled to Islamorada in August in a form of pilgrimage to learn from one of the zen masters of swimming. We were not disappointed.
The views were beautiful, the water was warm, and the sunsets were magnificent, but those were not the only reasons we came to the Florida Keys this summer.
In addition to 4 days of two-a-day training, we accompanied Gary to the health club "Froggys" to learn how boxing and medicine ball usage and a dozen other "dry land" activities could help gain strength for swimming. He explained to us the value of good nutrition and how good nutrition for the World Team in 2000 and 2001, in part, helped to improve their performance.
Gary imparts not only coaching knowledge but life lessons as well. He told us the story of how Mike Burton in Mexico City was counted out of everyone's list of potential gold medal winners (except for his own list). Mike is portrayed rightly so as the swimmer who would never quit, a good lesson for all today. The stories are all the more meaningful because Gary was actually there. He shows us that fitness is a life-long quest. He accompanied us in the water several times to show us the strokes, turns and starts that he demonstrated on dry land. He is the embodiment of a good work ethic and treating everyone with dignity and class.
In addition, his co-coach Mark Hill a world-class sprinter, coached us as well. The two of them complemented each other well to form a lasting set of memories that are positive and meaningful for our family. All 3 that we worked with have a great sense of humor and communicate well.
In fact, talking with both coaches was as easygoing as with our neighbors back home. (I was able to share with Gary a couple of stories about a few swimmers we both know as well).
Gary Hall is not just a swim coach, he is a life coach as well. Gary believes in 5 principles – Family, Faith, Community, Profession, and Health. He practices these principles every day and tallies up how he has done in each category at the end of every week.
This is an experience that every swimmer can enjoy (and I hope will) sometime in their careers. That is, the confluence of good coach, good advice, good people, good life lessons, and good location. That combination is hard to beat no matter what your skill level!

Santa Cruz County History - Executive Order 9066 and the Residents of Santa Cruz County
Watsonville Register-Pajaronian. Jan. 2, 1942. p. 1
Pajaro Valley's Japanese, German and Italian nationals must turn in all firearms in their possession to police authorities before 11 p.m. Monday, and must confine their travel to the community in which they reside unless given permission to the contrary.
Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle Thursday issued an order at Washington restricting travel of axis nationals throughout the United States and ordering them to turn in all firearms before the Monday deadline.
For nearly three weeks, Watsonville police have been receiving firearms from both Japanese nationals and citizens here following the request of the Japanese association, through I. Motoki, that they voluntarily turn in their firearms and cameras to police for the duration of the war.
The axis aliens may commute to their homes, to their places of business, places of religious worship, schools, colleges, and to any federal, state or local government agency with which they are required to transact business under provisions of Biddle's order.
"All other travel by enemy aliens in the United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin islands is forbidden," said Biddle, "unless the enemy alien files with the United States attorney for his district, one week in advance of the projected trip, a statement containing the following specific information:
"Name, nationality, alien registration number, purpose of the trip, destination, date of departure and return, route to be followed, and the carrier (railroad, bus, automobile, etc.) used.
Biddle said that if the projected trip is to be more than one point, the enemy alien is required to provide in his statement similar details as to the intermediate points to be visited.
Biddle said that all United States attorneys had been instructed to prohibit travel, even under these conditions, if in their opinion "such travel is potentially dangerous to public safety."
Biddle again warned that travel by airplane is specifically prohibited to enemy aliens and that before changing residence they must notify their U. S. district attorney and the immigration and naturalization service.
The new regulations were issued under authority of the same presidential proclamation under which orders for surrender of all radio transmitters, short wave radio receivers and hand cameras was issued.
An enemy alien is any citizen of Japan, Germany or Italy.
