Initial cracks in metallic structures incline to be closed at rest. Such incipient damage generally fails to be detected and located with traditional linear ultrasonic techniques because ultrasonic waves penetrate the contact area of the closed crack. In this paper, an imaging algorithm based on nonlinear ultrasonic time reversal method is proposed to detect closed cracks in aluminum plates. Two surface-bonded piezoelectric transducer arrays are used to generate, receive, and reemit ultrasonic wave signals. The closed crack is simulated by tightening a bolt on the aluminum plate. By applying large amplitude excitation voltage on the PZT transducers, the closed crack could be opened and closed. The transmitted waves recorded by PZT array contain nonlinear components, the signals are time reversed and emitted back, and the tone burst reconstructions are achieved. The linear reciprocity and the time reversibility break down due to the presence of the nonlinear components. The correlation coefficient between the original excitation signal and the reconstructed signal is calculated to define the damage index for individual sensing path and is used to develop an imaging algorithm to locate the closed crack on the plate. The experimental results demonstrate that incident wave signals and their reconstructed signals can be used to accurately detect and locate closed cracks.
1. Introduction
In mechanical, aerospace, and civil infrastructures, metallic components made of aluminum are ubiquitous. Failures in metallic structures are often caused by closed cracks developed due to fatigue. In practice, closed cracks usually cannot be avoided. Thus, there is a need in nondestructive inspection for detection of such incipient damage. The closed crack stays in contact and presents the same as linear damage at rest, and only when the excitation overcomes a threshold, the closed crack can be opened and produces nonlinear response, so it is hard to detect closed crack with traditional linear ultrasonic technology. Since the nonlinearity signatures are much more sensitive to small damage features than the measurement of the variations of linear elastic properties [1], it is a very promising field of research to detect nonlinear scatterers in metallic structures using nonlinear ultrasound. However, the nonlinear response is usually small and hard to be detected, and hence imaging the closed crack is a challenging problem.
Recently, more and more attentions had been drawn to the damage detection with application of time reversal wave signals. This technique uses the reconstruction property of the time reversal procedure; that is, an original wave can be reconstructed at its source point if its forward wave recorded at another point is time reversed and emitted back to the source point. Time reversal method has been used to focus Lamb wave energy to detect flaws or damages in plates by Ing and Fink [2, 3]. Park et al. investigate the time reversal process of Lamb wave signals which are transmitted and received by piezoelectric transducers bonded on plate-like structures [4]. Xu and Giurgiutiu address multimode Lamb waves by developing a theoretical model for the analysis of piezoelectric-wafer-active-sensors- (PWAS-) related Lamb wave time reversal based on the exact solutions of the Rayleigh-Lamb wave equation [5]. Ulrich et al. conducted Lamb wave time reversal experiments to detect the damage simulated by steel block on plate [6]. The time reversal reconstructed wave differs from the original wave. However, this block damage is a linear scatterer; the reconstructed signal should be close in shape to the original wave. If the signals contain nonlinear contributions, a nonlinear scatterer is said to be located in the position of the focal spot. Although the Lamb wave time reversal technique has been attempted experimentally and shows its effectiveness for detecting certain types of damage, the experiment of imaging closed crack using Lamb wave time reversal has not been reported yet.
This paper starts with a description of the time reversal method. The main part covers the use of the time reversal nonlinear ultrasonic wave signals method for detecting and imaging damage areas with closed crack in aluminum plate. Experimental studies are carried out to examine the proposed method. Finally, this paper concludes with a brief summary.
2. Time Reversal Process of Wave Signals
The principle of the time reversal process in a two-dimensional plate is illustrated in Figure 1, where a tone burst is applied to transducer A functioning as a transmitter (step 1), activating a wave signal that is captured by transducer B acting as a receiver (step 2); the captured signal is time reversed in the time domain (step 3) and reapplied to transducer B; then, the wave signal at transducer A is recorded and time reversed as a reconstructed signal of the original one (step 4).
Based on Figure 1, when a tone burst signal at a central frequency is applied to transducer A, it activates a wave signal that propagates within the plate. The wave energy generated by transducer A is defined by where is the electromechanical coefficient of transducer A. The wave signals captured by transducer B can be defined by where is the structural transfer function of the plate from A point to B point. is the electromechanical coefficient of transducer B.
If when the same transducers are used for actuator and sensor, then When is time reversed in time domain and applied to transducer B following the same procedure, a wave signal at transducer A is captured:
If there is no defect along the wave propagation path between transducers A and B, then, theoretically, is similar to in the time domain, and the shape of the reconstructed signal should be the same as the original input signal after normalization.
But the time reversal process is complicated owing to the multimodal characteristics of Lamb waves. When PZT A is excited with a tone burst signal, multimode signals are received by PZT B. In Figure 1, the narrowband input frequency is selected so that only the first symmetric and antisymmetric modes are generated. When the response signal is reversed in the time domain and reemitted to PZT B, each signal associated with the or mode at PZT B creates both and modes producing a total of four modes in the reconstructed signal. After superposition of signals, the reconstructed signal consists of the main packets in the middle and two side packets around the main mode wave packet. Finally, the shape of the main packets will be practically the same as the original input signal.
Because the time reversibility of waves is fundamentally based on the linear reciprocity of the system [7, 8], the linear reciprocity and the time reversibility break down if there exists any source of wave distortion due to wave scattering along the wave path. A nonlinear scatterer in the wave path results in a modification in the wave's central frequency so that is no longer a scalar, and the shape of the reconstructed after wave interaction with damage will differ from that of wave due to wave distortion. With the original wave signal and the reconstructed wave signal after time reversal in the time domain, a damage index (DI) can be defined by the difference between the two signals. Hence, nonlinear type damages such as closed cracks in metallic structures and delaminations in composite structures could be detected by comparing the discrepancy between the original input signal and the reconstructed signal.
3. Damage Index and Imaging Method
The damage index can be defined using the characteristics of wave signals in the time domain. In the time domain, the differences between the original incident wave signal and the reconstructed signal of each actuator-sensor path can be measured quantitatively by the correlation coefficient, defined as
Before correlation, both and are normalized. The value of defines the degree of similarity between the two signals and . When each signal is perfectly approximated by the other, .
The damage index (DI) is defined as
In this way, the higher the DI, the higher the possibility of the existence of damage or the closer the damage to the wave path, as defined by the time reversibility of the input wave signal.
With the existence of damage at a location near the wave path, the effect of the DI is confined with a normal distribution function, which means that the effect of the DI is maximized on the wave path and decreases gradually as the distance from the wave path increases [9]: In (7),and were set to 0 and 40 mm, respectively. The value of was determined in an elliptical zone for each sensing path as , where is the distance between the actuator and sensor for the sensing path and and are the distances between a grid to the actuator and the sensor, respectively.
Assuming that there are sensing paths for damage identification from the sensor network, the probability of the presence of damage at position can be written as [10] where is the probability of the presence of damage at position for the sensing path and and are the damage index defined in (6) and (7) for the sensing path and the effect of the damage index for the sensing path on the presence of damage in the position, respectively.
This process was applied to each individual path, and at each grid was obtained for the inspection area. By combining all the paths, the existence of damage was highlighted by an area with high values of .
4. Experimental Study
4.1. Experimental Setup
The overall test configuration of this study is shown in Figure 2. A 1000 mm*1000 mm*2 mm aluminum plate is adopted to evaluate the method presented in this paper. A sensor network is created consisting of 16 circular PZTs (APC 850) with a distance of 60 mm between the elements. Elements (P1 to P16), 6.35 mm in diameter and 0.25 mm in thickness, were surface mounted on the aluminum plate. Their positions are listed in Table 1. A steel block with the diameter and height of 15 mm and 30 mm is attached on the aluminum plate to simulate the linear scatterer at location (500, 500) mm. A sandpaper polished bolt is tightened on the aluminum plate apart from the center at location (380, 440) mm by a torque wrench with torque of 19 N·m, simulating the closed crack (Figure 2(a)). An arbitrary-function generator (Agilent33522A) and a high-voltage amplifier (TEGAM2350) are used to control the signal transmitted and an oscilloscope (Agilent D50-X3014A) is used for recording the sensing signals. The geometry of the plate with the PZT array and damage positions is shown in Figure 3.
Park et al. [4] discussed the effect of boundary reflections of waves on the time reversal process (TRP). The numerical simulations and experimental tests indicated that the boundary reflection had no substantial effect on the reconstructed wave signal. Through studying a free boundary and with wave-absorbing material around the edges, Song et al. [10] found that the main wave pack was almost the same and the side bands differ slightly after the time reversal process was applied. In this paper, the reflections from structural boundaries are not considered by choosing appropriate time window in the wave signals.
Because of the characteristics of the closed crack, with low amplitude voltage excitation that could not overcome the threshold, the closed crack behaves as a linear scatterer. While high amplitude voltage is applied, once the threshold of the closed crack is overcome, the closed crack can be opened and the nonlinear response is produced. The experiment is conducted as follows. A 3.5 counts 100 kHz Hanning window modulated sine tone burst is used as the excitation signal. First, an amplitude of 50 V peak-to-peak excitation is chosen to actuate one row of PZT transducers (number 1–number 8), one at a time. The eight transducers (number 9–number 16) record the signals. Each recorded signal is time reversed by using appropriate time window. Before reemitting, the time-reversed signals are normalized to the same amplitude, so that the contribution of the backpropagated field is approximately the same from each transducer; the backpropagated wave field is recorded in the receiver positions and analyzed. Then, a larger amplitude of 150 V peak-to-peak excitation is applied with the same above steps to record the responses.
4.2. Experimental Results
In this study, signals extracted from three paths (P7–16, P6–12, and P2–12) in the aluminum plate are selected for demonstration. Figure 4 shows the experimental results for the time reversal of the Lamb wave on the plate of the path P7–16 with 50 V peak-to-peak excitation and 150 V peak-to-peak excitation. This path is away from the block and the bolt. The forward waves are captured after propagation of 424 mm by PZT16 (Figures 4(a), 4(b)). (Note: the first wave packet shown in the experimental forward wave is the E/M coupling.) Figures 4(c) and 4(d) show the reconstructed signals which are normalized. The main packets of the reconstructed and the original tone burst signals are shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b). The reconstructed signals with low amplitude and high amplitude of excitation all achieved a similarity of 98% to the original tone burst signals (according to (6)). It indicates that this path is not influenced by the closed crack and linear scatterer and it can be treated as intact path.
The experiment results of the path P6–12 for the time reversal of the Lamb wave propagating are shown in Figure 6. The block is in this path and the bolt is away from it. Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show the waves captured after propagation of 420 mm by PZT12 with low and high excitations, respectively. The reconstructed waves are shown in Figures 6(c) and 6(d); the main wave packets in the reconstructed wave resemble well the original tone burst. Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show the reconstructed and the original tone burst signals for the two excitations; the similarity of the reconstructed signals to the original tone burst signals is the same as the intact path (P7–16); it indicates that the linear scatterers had not broken down the linear reciprocity and the time reversibility; the existence of linear damage would not influence the detection of closed crack.
The bolt (closed crack) is on the wave path P2–11 and the low amplitude voltage excitation (50 V) and the high amplitude voltage excitation (150 V) experimental results for the time reversal of the Lamb wave are, respectively, shown in Figure 8. Figures 8(a) and 8(b) show the forward wave captured after propagation of 424 mm by PZT11. The reconstructed waves of 50 V and 150 V excitations are shown in Figures 8(c) and 8(d), respectively.
In order to extract the nonlinear contributions from the received signal of the path P2–11 with 150 V excitation, we need to quantify the difference between the received signal and a linear reference signal. The linear reference signal is often hard to be defined in practice due to the character of the closed crack; the response signals of low amplitude (50 V excitation), which could not open the closed crack, are collected by PZT11 as the instantaneous baseline. Then, the response signals of 150 V peak-to-peak excitation, which can open the closed crack, are recorded as the current signal. The current signal and the baseline of path P2–11 are shown in Figure 9. Note that has been multiplied by 3. The reconstructed and the original tone burst signals with 50 V excitation and 150 V excitation are shown in Figures 10(a) and 10(b), respectively. Figure 10 indicates that the closed crack is simulated successfully with the bolt and the existence of closed crack breaks down the linear reciprocity and the time reversibility; the produced nonlinear response significantly influences reconstruction.
From the network of 16 PZT elements, a total of 128 paths were available, but with the dual function of the PZT elements, they could be reduced to 64 paths. Different groups of sensing paths are thus used to locate the closed crack. The correlation coefficients between the original and the reconstructed signals are calculated, and the DI is obtained using (6). 16 random paths are selected and shown in Table 2. Estimation of the presence of damage in the aluminum plate is obtained. Figure 11 illustrates the images of different group paths, where the circle indicates the exact location of the closed crack, and the arrow highlights the estimation of damage. The values in each image were normalized. Overall, the results demonstrate that the proposed method could identify and locate the damage clearly.
5. Conclusion
In this paper, a damage detection method using nonlinear ultrasonic time reversal process is proposed to detect and locate closed crack in aluminum plate structures. The closed crack is simulated by a bolt with moderate clamp torque and the nonlinear effects are generated by contacts between bolt surface and aluminum plate under excitation voltage. The damage index defined using the correlation coefficient between the excitation wave signal and the reconstructed wave signal after time reversal is used for damage identification and imaging. Experimental studies are carried out to examine the proposed method. The results of tests demonstrate that the simulated closed crack using the bolt could represent the crack damage in actual structures and the time reversal imaging algorithm has potential to locate nonlinear scatterers in real structures with simple PZT arrays, and this approach is not influenced by linear scatterers in the wave paths.

this is temporary of course.. i change my home layout more then i change my clothes..
also is it possible to put diff wallpapers on different screens without the phone being rooted?
ta peeps appreciate the help
sorry to be a pain have u got the original just its really fuzzy and has a lense flare affect in the middle of it?
A mod is a mod for a reason, lol. He can't share it unless the original creator gives him permission to.
That's exactly how I downloaded it. Sorry. Here's the original.
Pretty bland, BMW M3 as my background, rooted as you can tell. Looking to get a cool theme soon. Really for some reason love the way the "3G" icon looks/sits next to the bars on the left hand side with the iPhone for whatever reason wish they had a theme like that .

I know what they are, I don't feel the need to have it written out.
Just to confirm, you need to be rooted in order to take screencaps correct?
Hey guys you all have some really nice looking phones. I've just got my htc desire and I'm really getting frustrated over the wallpapers. How did you guys get your rectangular backgrounds to look so good? The native size on the desire seems to be 960x800 which clearly contradicts the size of the screen.
960x800 is the correct size for the wallpaper since it moves when you slide between screens. Make sure you start off with a nice high resolution picture, they usually look pretty good on the phone. Also you can just load it to your phone-> go to gallery->bring up the picture and set it as wallpaper, it will then allow you to resize the picture for the correct size for the background. Try not to get frustrated, your phone is there so you can have fun with it. Welcome, ask questions and enjoy your phone!

a lot of the credit for my inspiration goes to suikka.. i still like his better, but what i got works. since i last posted in here i rooted my droid.. what a beautiful thing! but thats for a different part of the forum.. anyways, we will see how long this one lasts.. i have off from work tomorrow, so i'm thinking not too long..
ps - customizing my droid really cuts into my xbox time.. meh..
Hi, it's amazing what can be done with android phones. I love the customization (this is one of the things that pulled me away from Iphones).
The problem I have is I do not know how to do a lot of things that most of you have done.
Is there anywhere, or can someone create, a user guide to do the amazing things you've done. Things that need to be included are;
-Programmes to use to create new home screens
-how to create new icons, docks, etc.
-then how to create your own personalised home page using a new homescreen, wallpaper, dock and customised icons..
If this has already been posted then I apologise (please let me know the link to the page/guide).
Like I said, I'm very impressed with what you guys have done, and your knowledge of these things are far beyond me, Its just I want to create one myself.. Thanks.
To create a new homescreen wallpaper you need a graphics editor like Photoshop or Gimp ... you can download gimp for free, GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program . You can also find images online or on this site to use as a homescreen background. To use a background you created or found, simply save the image on your sd card, open in, click menu>set as>Wallpaper. The same steps are used to change your lockscreen wallpaper, just select lockscreen instead of wallpaper.
Icons can be created the same way wallpapers are, save them as .png files ... you can also find them online and on this site. To change an icon use an app called desktop visualizer, Desktop Visualizer v1.0.2 Application for Android | Tools .
To change the dock you can use an app called LauncherPro, LauncherPro v0.7.5.1 Application for Android | Productivity . Once set as your launcher, to change the dock select menu>preferences>appearance settings>dock background>custom. You can find dock backgrounds here, LauncherPro Forum • View topic - Share your custom dock backgrounds! . To change an icon in the dock bar, long press the icon and selet change icon.
If you have any more questions, let me know.
Lastley, a great site for finding wallpapers and icons is http://www.deviantart.com/

Is it ok to have Smart Lipo done on the flanks by just any doctor? Is it a big deal? They are very small areas and I am completely skinny I just can't get rid of the fat, but I don't want to pay thousands of dollars for just 2 areas.
Smart Lipo by Non Board Certified Plastic Surgeon on Small Areas?
Doctor Answers 9
You're kidding, right?
Do you fly on airplanes with an unproven track record that are flown by non-certified pilots?
If not, why would you choose a gimmicky procedure and have it done by someone who does not have the highest level of training?
I have to say that I am amazed at the question. All surgery is surgery. All surgery can lead to risks and complications. If you can't afford to do it right, then you can't afford to do it wrong.
Yes, it is a "big deal"…
The American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only board recognized by the American Board of medical specialties. Confirming that your surgeon is certified by the American Board of plastic surgeon is very important; this will assure you that your surgeon's undergone rigorous training, testing, and continued medical education necessary to become and remain board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery are then potential candidates to join the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery. These societies will have lists of their plastic surgeon members; these lists may be helpful when patients are seeking a board-certified plastic surgeon. in the process of selecting a plastic surgery I also encourage patients to ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different "specialties" who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different "specialties" who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Again, I cannot overemphasize the importance of careful selection of plastic surgeon when it comes to concerns such as safety, achievement of the desired outcome, and ability to manage complications that may arise (even in the best of hands). Keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Board Certified-YES Any Doctor -NO
The correct and unbiased answer to your question is that you should go to a reputable, well-trained surgeon who has extensive training and experience in liposuction. This could include many specialties known in the field of cosmetic surgery as "Core Competent" specialties: plastic surgeons, dermatologic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons. Board certification is important as anyone who has trained at a reputable program, regardless of their specialty, should have board certification. The incorrect assumption is that you have to go to a plastic surgeon.
Dermatologists are responsible for many of the advances and current techniques utilized in liposuction surgery today. True, not all dermatologist/Dermatologic surgeons perform or are trained in liposuction just as NOT all plastic surgeons have comprehensive training in or perform cosmetic surgery. Yes this is a confusing concept to many patients, but the reality is not every doctors training is the same, nor is every doctors' skill or capabilites the same.
You must consult with and interview many cosmetic surgeons, review their credentials and training, i.e. have they completed fellowship training that includes training is cosmetic surgery such as liposuction and do they have experience in treating the areas you are interested in. NO, I would definitely NOT trust any doctor with my surgery even if it is small area. If you are being offered a cheap price you are likely to get a cheap result. Cosmetic surgery is not cheap but you must consider it an investment in quality.

Actually, it depends on his qualifications.Dermatologists invented tumescent liposuction, by the way
Your question is a loaded one as most plastic surgeons will delight in answering that they are the only ones who can do this procedure. The reality is that SmartLipo isn't the whole deal, the real deal is the part that comes before it, the preparation of the fat and the part after SmartLipo, the removal of the fat.
The other thing is the risk that is associated with this procedure if it is done by a plastic surgeon in the OR. Statistically speaking, you are much less likely to die in the hands of a dermatologist doing this procedure under tumescent anesthesia than going to a hospital and having a plastic surgeon put you under.
There have been multiple articles and studies that prove this. Now, if you get to a non-trained individual who just put his or her shingle up and now is doing SmartLipo, that's a totally different question and one that is very scary to both dermatologists and plastic surgeons alike.
This type of question is one that won't be answered easily in one post, but does need to be aired out as you have. Good luck!
Your doctor should be qualify to do the procedure
From all the excellent comment you have your answer . We all take pride in our training and board certification . The laser lipo may be a simple procedure , but you should make sure that the doctor is qualified to take care of you during and after surgery.
Board certified plastic surgeon and smart lipo
Ask yourself why would I want to have a cosmetic procedure form a non-plastic surgeon. If you come up with a good answer then go with it. A good answer should not be based on price alone.
Ask yourself also, should I have my family doctor deliver my baby, should I have an OB/Gyn remove my gall bladder, should I have a plastic surgeon operate on my brain?
It is a non brainer to consult with a plastic surgeon and have a plastic surgeon do the procedure. You should slo be specific reagrding which plastic surgeon. Make sure they have done the procedure and can show you results and ask for patient referrals.
Be very, very careful about having a non-plastic surgeon doing plastic surgery on you. Also be wary of the "Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon" Make sure you know what you are dealing with because there is alot of deception out there.
Certification by The American Board of Plastic Surgery is important for your safety and satisfaction
Hi there-
No one would blame you for trying to find the best value in these difficult economic times. It is important to understand that to be a good value, however, you would need to be sure you were receiving top-notch care from a well-educated and trained provider who has the understanding of the procedure in question necessary to keep you safe and maximize your chances of achieving your goal.
There is simply no substitute for education and training. Your (non-plastic surgeon) provider cannot possibly learn as much about liposuction as the average Board Certified Plastic Surgeon knows after years of training and experience by taking a few courses on weekends and buying a machine.
6 months from now, after a poor experience and outcome, you would probably GLADLY pay the additional costs to not have had a bad outcome and experience....
Even in Aesthetic Surgery, you will generally get what you've paid for. Be careful.
Not a time to pinch your pennys
The problem is you may save in the short term and pay in the long term. Its better for you to spend your money wisely and seek the services of a qualified phsyician who will perform the procedure properly the first time.
Cosmetic Surgery should not be performed by just anyone
Nobody comes to a plastic surgeon's office wanting to pay large amounts of money for cosmetic surgery. What patients are paying for, though, is skill and expertise garnered over years and years of training, and competence confirmed by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Although the physical act of liposuction is relatively straightforward, many nuances to the technique exist. Failure to observe these can cause asymmetry and contour deformities. Correction of these problems can be more costly than the price of the original procedure.
Bottom line - you're much better off with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck - hope this helps.

Whitney started every presentation we did on Long Island this week with a whine and a moan. She wasn't scared of the kids. She wanted to play with them!
Who can blame her? The kids were cute, cute, cute, but somehow Whitney managed to settle in and lie down by the time we got to the Q&A part of our presentations. Hearing them ask in those adorable Long Island accents made me want to gather them all up and play with them, too. Some examples:
- What happens when you have to go down stairs?
- Which is your favorite dog?
- How do you eat ice cream?
- How can you write books if you can't see??
- How do you plant?
- How can you use the remote to watch TV if you can't see?
- But what if the ice cream is in a cone?
- Can your dog have babies? Why not?
- How do you know which dog is your favorite if you can't see them?
- How come you are so pretty?
- How can you drive?
- Dr. Who started in 1963 and you could still see, did you ever watch it?
- How come you have to change dogs so much?
- How do you know what your hair color is?
- Is your dog with you all the time when you're at home, too?
- I liked the Fourth Dr. from the planet Gallifrey and he had a robot dog named K-9 and I liked it when Nyssa was on, too, so which one was your favorite Dr. Who?
- Can a Seeing Eye dog work with more than one persons?
- How do you feel if you're blind?
- How do you know where your dog is if you can't see her?
- What if you had a glass and you were walking to the couch and you went to sit down and your dog was there and you got to the couch and you dropped the glass and it broke and got all over the place?
Whew! Whitney and I spent three entire school days with students on Long Island, and trust me, we both slept well afterwards. No wonder teachers get the summer off. They need it!
After my presentation to one of the kindergarten classes at Harding Avenue School in Lindenhurst on Tuesday, a boy raised his hand to let me know his dog is blind, and that his family is teaching her to go up stairs without being able to see. I've had Kindergartners tell me before that they have blind dogs, blind friends, even blind parents. I assume they're telling me a story, and I usually comment on how lucky they are. I responded to this boy by asking, "Are you a Seeing Eye kid, then?"
The kindergartner liked that idea, and his teacher asked if he might want to tell me why he has to teach his dog to go up stairs now. "We were living with our Grandma," he said, explaining they just moved into their own house. "It has lots and lots of stairs, and it's way, way, way up high." That little boy wasn't just telling me a story. Their family dog is old, and she really is blind. His family's home was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy in 2012, they've finally just moved into a new house, and it's on stilts.
During breaks from my talks, the school principal and teachers explained that Harding Avenue has 400 or so students, and 163 families from the school were displaced by Superstorm Sandy. Outside of this little mention of the new house way, way up high, though, the resilient kids never mentioned that storm. The temperature was in the sixties the day I visited, the winter snow had melted, and after I answered all their questions and took Whitney's harness off so they could rub her belly. Then they ran outside. Recess!
Mrs. Antonelli's 2nd grade class at Harding School came up with a way to thank me that I can hear, and that you can see:

Review Panasonic 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH POWER OIS LUMIX G VARIO & Panasonic GX7 (Micro 43)
We get asked daily for the ideal combination of a compact camera for interchangeable lenses, including a lens with such a big focal length range, that you no longer have to swap lenses. What few realize is that correct for just this group of photographers a micro-43 camera with the Panasonic 14-140 mm f/3.5 is a perfect choice.
|With an amazingly low weight of only 265 grams (almost half of its predecessor) the Panasonic 14-140 mm f/3.5 is ideal for a photographer/video lover who changes lens as little as possible, but prefers the freedom of a camera with interchangeable lenses. This Panasonic 14-140 mm mk2 is among other things sold as a kit lens in combination with the Panasonic GH3, the top model for enjoying video as a photographer. We reviewed this superzoom on the Panasonic GX7, the current top model for photography.
Panasonic 14-14 0mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH POWER OIS LUMIX G VARIO review @ Panasonic GX7
FOV Panasonic 14-140 f3.5 @ 14 mm, 200 ISO, f/7.1, 1/1250
Panasonic 14-140 mm II FOV @ 140 mm, 200 ISO, f/7.1, 1/1000
The Panasonic 14-140 mm f/3.5-f/5.6 has an impressive zoom range, to speak in compact camera language: "10x optical zoom". The angle nearly matches the angle of view of an 18-200 mm zoom on a camera on an APS-C camera. Comparing the Panasonic 14-140 mm MK2 with a comparable 18-200 mm zoom lens, the Panasonic is about 25% shorter and 50% lighter. If you add in that advanced micro-43 cameras such as the Panasonic GX7 or Panasonic G6 are also smaller and about 25% lighter than similar SLR cameras with an APS-C sensor, then such a combination will be very attractive as a companion for a holiday.
Construction and autofocus
|The Panasonic 14-140 mm f/3.5-5.6 (made in Japan) is easy to distinguish from the Panasonic 14-140 mm f/4-f/5.8. The old lens was matte-grey, the new one is glossy black and despite the higher brightness is smaller. The zoom ring and the focus ring of the old version are made of rubber, with the new model that's plastic.
To realize as compact a design as possible, Panasonic has used several high-quality aspherical and ED glass elements, as you can see in the lens design, which we have taken over from the Panasonic site. Like most super zooms, this lens has no constant length. If you zoom out to 140 mm, then the Panasonic 14-140 mm f/3.5-f/5.6 is about twice as long. Also, in the extended position, the lens is much smaller than similar super zooms for APS-C cameras.
|Focusing with the Panasonic 14-140 mm II in combination with the Panasonic GX7 is silent and very fast. Also in the dark the AF is accurate. On this point, the Panasonic 14-140 mm f/3.5 distinguishes itself positively from various vacation zooms on APS-C cameras. The phase detection systems of APS-C cameras is, with the use of less bright lenses, including all vacation zooms, slower and less accurate in the dark. The contrast detection of the Panasonic GX7 also offers in the dark fast and precise focus in combination with the Panasonic 14-140 mm super zoom. The drive of the autofocus is extra quiet thanks to the stepper motor, and so this lens is also suitable for video. It is nice that the image stabilization can be set on or off via a button on the lens.

System76's Pop!_OS Linux to Get a Beta Release Next Week with HiDPI Improvements
System76 is getting ready to unleash the first Beta release of their upcoming Pop!_OS Linux distribution, which should be available to download next week based on the Ubuntu 17.10 Final Beta. It appears that System76's development team recently dropped focus on the Pop!_OS Installer, which they develop in collaboration with the elementary OS team, to concentrate on fixing critical bugs and add the final touches to the Beta release. They still need to add some patches to fix backlight brightness issues on Nvidia GPUs.

San Diego State's punter, Joel Alesi, has been selected as a nominee for the 2013 Ray Guy Award, the Augusta (Ga.) Sports Council announced Friday.
The Ray Guy Award is given to the nation's top punter annually, and former Aztec punter Brian Stahovich was a three-time nominee for the award from 2009-11.
Alesi, a junior, is the fourth Aztec to be nominated for the award since its creation in 2000.
Alesi has punted 24 times in 2013, with an average of 42.4 yards per punt, and had a season-long 56-yard punt in the Aztecs' last game against Air Force on Oct. 10.
He's had seven punts of 50 or more yards, and seven of his punts have landed inside the opponent's 20-yard-line, with five inside the 10 and two inside the 5.
Only five of Alesi's punts this season have been returned, and his 42.6 yard career average in 30 punts would rank fifth in SDSU history if he had enough attempts to qualify.
The list of 85 punters on the Ray Guy Award list will be narrowed to 10 semifinalists on Nov. 8.
Award winners will select the top three finalists on Nov. 25. The presentation of the Ray Guy Award will be featured on The Home Depot College Football Awards live on Thursday, Dec. 12, at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Police Chief Goes on the Offensive
Acevedo called Henson a "liar" to the Statesman
By Jordan Smith, Fri., Feb. 24, 2012
There is no doubt that police have a duty to react – and quickly – to any report of a child kidnapping in progress. But whether police responded properly to a call regarding a possible kidnapping on Feb. 10, involving well-known criminal justice blogger Scott Henson and his 5-year-old granddaughter, has become a subject of debate. Henson wrote a lengthy blog complaining that he had been surrounded by Austin police while walking home with his granddaughter after a roller skating outing and suggesting that he was only stopped because he is white and the girl is black. This is actually the second time this has happened in the last several years. But things really turned nasty after Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo told the Austin American-Statesman that Henson was a "liar" because he said he was approached by police with their Tasers drawn, which didn't happen; Henson corrected his original post and has noted that it wasn't a lie, but a trick of memory in a stressful situation. You can read Henson's entire account of the incident on his Grits for Breakfast blog, at www.gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com.

Ratings for Dr. Walter R. O'Brien
When you call to make an appointment the staff acts like you are a bother. They are not at all personable. The address listed for the doctor is not true for all patients. He's listed on Wilshire but the appointed facility is in Hawthorne. This place has the feel of a clinic. The space is shared by who knows how many other physicians. The waiting room is small. the exam rooms are a joke. The one I was in had no sink and the exam bed did not have any cloth or paper covering. This allowed me to see the rips with the stuffing bulging out. It was quite obvious that these rooms were used for a transient purpose. The doctor spent a very brief time with me. It was the insurance standard of less than 10 minutes per patient. He is very detached and has the personality of a wet blanket. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy!
The staff here make this doctor's experience AWFUL. Do not go here if you have anything urgent to attend to - they will waylay you for days if not weeks. They refused to send paperwork into my insurance provider, lied about sending approvals in and when caught did not apologize or offer to hasten paperwork. Unbelievably rude, but worse, these delays can cause long-term damage that you could feel for a lifetime, simply because you were not attended to in a timely fashion. Dr. O'Brien was decent enough but I can't say much beyond that because he only saw me for 5 minutes before suggesting an MRI. However, if this is who he chooses to have represent him at his front desk, I worry about the quality of his care. Staff may not seem important, but believe me, when you have to go to an orthopedic surgeon you want to be taken care of with respect and with haste.
He seemed completely disinterested. I was in excruciating back pain and spasm. He prescribed MRI (performed elsewhere) but 10 days later STILL has not returned my call to discuss results. I had to get MRI report faxed to my house and discuss with a new doctor!! Staff seems uncaring and disorganized. No one returns messages, despite promises!!
Doctor never returned phone calls, never appeared after surgery, very rude to family members. Most unprofessional and unethical physician I have ever encountered. Please, find another surgeon!
There are many other orthopedic doctors close by that I think are better. Skip this one.

Wastewater treatment plant getting upgrades after 42 years
Tue, 22 Jul 2014 02:13:48 GMT —
Plans to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant in Charlevoix are moving forward.
The Charlevoix City Council accepted an $8.5 million bid to make improvements to the plant Monday night.
The bid is nearly $2 million less than the original estimate.
The plant discharges EPA-acceptable levels of wastewater into Lake Michigan. It hasn't been updated since 1972.
Construction is scheduled to begin sometime this fall.

Is there something in the air? Kristin Chenoweth has also jumped on the pixie train, joining celebrities like Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Hudson, who also opted for major haircuts this week.
Celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Hanousek posted a picture on Instagram of Kristin's new cut, saying that new cut (and lighter color!) is for an upcoming film role. Considering Chenoweth has long been known for her bubbly blonde look, the new cut certainly gives her a more sophisticated, grown-up vibe, and the longer layers toward the front suit her angular face.
Will her new role be more grown-up? After several TV stints—including roles on "The Good Wife" and "GCB"—it will be interesting to see Kristin try her hand at the big screen. Armed with this new 'do, we're betting she'll ace the new role.

Chanel Allure Sensuelle Parfum
Chanel Allure Sensuelle Parfum Reviews
Impressive, sexy, not for small spaces!I haunted perfume counters for weeks after I sniffed this on a magazine scent strip - and I wasn't diappointed when I smelled the real thing. It was an immediate FB purchase, and one of the few scents I've bought more than once. Men, as a rule, love it - it garners many compliments. The body lotion is also delightful, and given the strength of this scent, may be enough on its own. Sensuelle had ...read moreimpressive sillage and staying power, making a light spritz all you need for day/office wear. It lingers nicely on clothes too. This is a great signature scent for the right woman, and a nice change for those of us who often gravitate toward lighter scents over the summer. I usually reserve the perfume for fall/winter wear, bu the body lotion is a year-round joy.

My Reasons for Reporting This

Pawtucket, RI | Providence, RI
In a process that has spanned several years, and with continued community support, the Thayer Homestead development in Medway officially broke ground today. Construction will begin immediately on the restoration of and addition to the 150-year-old Thayer Homestead, a historic farmhouse built in the 1830s for adaptive reuse as a venue for community and private events. The new 4,242 square foot building is expected to be complete after about a year of construction.
Mark Cerel, a member of both the Community Preservation Committee and the Thayer Development Committee, recognized and acknowledged LLB Architects' efforts in the planning of the project. Since the interview stage, the firm has impressed the committee with a design that responds to its context. Its history as an iconic New England farm, adjacent to Choate Park and a designated historic district, was inspiration in creating the new addition that reinforces the view of the surrounding landscape. As the committee puts it, the building has "wow" factor, which will be a major selling point for its future use as function space.
Chairman of the committee, Dan Hooper, added that LLB really understood what they were after in repurposing the site. As a hub for cultural and community events – something which was lacking in Medway – the redevelopment of Thayer Homestead is a new gem and a significant project for the town. The committee is optimistic about the continued success of the project during construction with M. O'Connor Contracting.

I had my tummy tuck 4 months ago. The belly button took a long time to heal. It was open, oozing thik dark smelly puss for a good three weeks. It was about 3 months before it closed up. Now it is shallow, just darker than the rest of my skin. Can this be revised or will I just heal like this again? I am a bit nervous after the healing process the first go around.
Belly Button Healed Shallow With No Indention - Can This Be Revised?
Doctor Answers 6
Belly button revision after tummy tuck
You are best waiting six months after the final healing is complete before considering a revision. This allows tissues to soften and become strong, and time for the body to reduce the bacteria in the area to a minimum.
An umbilicoplasty is often very helpful for your problem. This will involve removal of scar tissue and any retained material from sutures. There are techniques to modify the fat around the belly button for it to appear more appealing as well. Also the anchoring is important.
The belly button should not, in my opinion, just be sewn back on, but should be contoured carefully.

Belly button revision
You can likely get an "inner" unless you are super thin and there is not enough surrounding fat for the innie to sink into. I would wait until the scar has faded and is soft and pliable. It could take a year.
Lisa Lynn Sowder, M.D.
Belly button healed shallow
assuming you did not lose the belly button and you are not remarkably slim, this can probably be revised. i would wait a good six months. this could be done under local anesthetic in the office. good luck

Bellybutton revision
Bellybutton revision is very possible. To create a 'deep' belly button, you must have depth to your abdominal skin/fat. If you are a very skinny person then it may not be possible. The depth of the belly button is the distance from skin to the abdominal muscles. In skinny people who have only few millimeters of fat under the skin, the belly button can be only a few millimeters deep. Inversely, if you have more fat on your belly, the belly button can be deeper.

Belly Button Healed Shallow With No Indention - Can This Be Revised?
This truly can be a difficult thing to improve. Photos and of course a physical exam would be very helpful to better evaluate your situation and see if your current belly-button anatomy will allow for a revision to create reasonable depth.
Belly button revision after tummy tuck
I would wait about six more months before you have your belly button revised since you had some wound healing problems. Once the area has completely healed and te scar tissue has softened, you could have the belly button revised to create more "depth" to it so that it does not appear so flat.
Be patient, but this can be improved in the future.
Best wishes,

Rays looking for offense in Vegas
Executive VP Andrew Friedman's pre-winter meetings media session yielded some interesting tidbits as the Rays seek to defend their AL Championship. Among them:
* Their "two biggest focal points" of the offseason are improving their offense and strenghtening their bullpen.
* Though they'd like to add a regular rightfielder and a DH, Friedman said realistically they are only likely to acquire one "impact" player.
* He said they remain open to talking with their three remaining free agents - OFs Rocco Baldelli and Eric Hinske and DH Cliff Floyd, who is rehabbing a shoulder injury rather than having surgery.
* Whereas in the past the Rays were more likely to look to the trade market rather than free agency, they are now about 50-50.
* Though all of baseball seems to be affected by the economy, he said the Rays were proceeding with their plans and are trying - thus far unsuccessfully - to be aggressive in signing players.
* Though the Rays appear to have an abundance of starting pitchers, they do not feel the need to make a trade, and younger pitchers such as Jason Hammel and Jeff Niemann, who will be out of options and can't be sent to the minors, will get a chance to be in the bullpen.
* David Price is not guaranteed a spot in the opening day rotation which means he could open the season in the minors.
Also, the Rays announced plans to open the first baseball academy in Brazil.

ATLANTA - The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles has denied clemency for death row inmate Curtis Osborne.
The board decided Monday not to commute the death sentence for Osborne, who faces execution on Wednesday for two 1990 murders. The board issued its decision without comment.
Osborne's lawyers argue his previous attorney deliberately put up a flimsy defense 18 years ago because he was ``infected by racism.'' They also say he was not informed that a life sentence plea was on the table.
Political luminaries including President Carter and the ex-chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court urged the board to commute the sentence. Prosecutors, though, said he should face capital punishment for his crime.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Rangers OF Josh Hamilton had spooked the Yankees so much by Game 6, they threw the ball to the backstop when trying to issue him an intentional walk.
That's the kind of impact an MVP makes.
Hamilton, the top pick of the Rays in 1999, was voted the most valuable player of the AL Championship Series on Friday after the Rangers beat the Yankees 6-1.
Hamilton hit four homers and had seven RBIs. He batted .350 (7-for-20) with eight walks and scored six runs.
"I love my teammates. … Any of these guys could have gotten this," Hamilton said. "I don't want to talk about myself. … This group is here because they don't know how to fail."
The tattooed slugger whose career was derailed early by alcohol and drug abuse was doused on the field by his teammates with ginger ale after Alex Rodriguez struck out to end it.
"I'll be honest, in the ninth A-Rod was up and I'm tearing up out there, holding back in case he hit the ball to me," he said. "I'm so excited, so blessed."
Hamilton hit a three-run homer in his first at-bat in Game 1 and just kept hurting the Yankees. New York gave him an intentional pass an ALCS-record five times, three on Friday night.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 1999 draft didn't make his big-league debut until 2007, with Cincinnati, which acquired him from the Rays via the Rule 5 draft in 2006. A year later, he was traded to Texas.
He is a leading regular-season MVP candidate after hitting .359 with 32 homers and 100 RBIs.
yanks' turn to feel sting: Big stars, a big payroll and lots of big comebacks. It all makes for one big disappointment that the Yankees won't be repeating as World Series champions.
"We didn't accomplish what we set out to," manager Joe Girardi said. "And as I told my guys, this hurts. I've been through it as a player. I've been through it as a coach and now I've been through it as a manager. It's not a lot of fun watching other teams celebrate."
The Yankees were expected to beat the upstart Rangers, just like they had in their three previous postseason series in the late 1990s.
"They outhit us, they outpitched us, outplayed us and they beat us," Girardi said. "You take away one inning and one game, and it was very one-sided."
2B Robinson Cano and CF Curtis Granderson were the only reliable hitters. Mark Teixeira was hitless in 14 at-bats before being lost to an injury. Rodriguez had just four hits, and SS Derek Jeter scored only two runs.
On deck, a possibly wild offseason. Jeter's contract is up, as are the deals for Girardi, closer Mariano Rivera and starter Andy Pettitte.

The dining room at db Bistro Moderne
The highly anticipated db Bistro Moderne—the contemporary French-American dining concept from renowned chef Daniel Boulud—has made its debut in one of the chicest new spots downtown, the JW Marriott Marquis Miami hotel.
OCEAN DRIVE: Who are your culinary mentors, and how have they influenced you today?
DANIEL BOULUD: Whether in my cooking or my approach as a restaurateur, I've been influenced by those I cooked for early on, beginning with Gerard Nandron. I did my first apprenticeship in his Michelin two-star restaurant in Lyon when I was 14. Mr. and Mrs. Nandron took care of their staff like a family. The chefs who really taught me were Georges Blanc, Michel Guérard and Roger Vergé.What made you decide to bring db Bistro Moderne to downtown Miami? Is it different from your New York and Vancouver outposts?
db Bistro has a very urban energy that suits downtown, like its Manhattan counterpart just off Times Square. Our partnership with Ricardo Glas and the new JW Marriott Marquis was also a good fit. This new db Bistro has the soul of the original but with some twists. The bar and lounge space and soaring ceilings are a luxury we don't have in New York. The wine room, where you can host a dinner for eight, is very sexy. If you've been to the original, you'll recognize about 60 percent of the menu. The balance is dishes new to Miami. We need the freedom to create spontaneously, with Jarrod adapting local flavor, ingredients and seasonality.
db Bistro is widely recognized for the original db Burger (top sirloin, red-wine-braised short ribs and, for the Royale version, black truffles). What makes a good burger?
The right blend of beef cuts—I'm not telling!—including the right amount of richness, all freshly ground. Also, a good sear and housemade garnishes, including the bun. The db Burger is really my French tribute to a great American classic. But it's hardly traditional—more of a dish within a dish.
What are some of your other favorite menu items?
I love the classics, such as a perfectly tender-on-the-inside-and-crispy-on-the-outside duck confit, a hearty coq au vin or a boeuf aux carrottes that melts in your mouth.
Tell us about your Miami chef, Jarrod Verbiak.
Jarrod is originally from Cleveland, with Eastern European roots and a love of good food. He came to Daniel in New York right out of the Culinary Institute of America, and did his externship with us almost nine years ago. I've promoted him through four of my restaurants since then. From New York to Palm Beach, Las Vegas and even Beijing, he has proven himself determined, talented, consistent and a good leader.
Your wine list, quite appropriately, has a focus on French offerings.
It's no surprise that we favor French. But here in Miami, sommelier John Mayfield has also really sought out wonderful Argentine and Chilean wines. We wanted his cellar to offer discoveries that are also great values, so you'll find bottles starting at $25.
What do you make for yourself at home?
Usually something cooked long and slow, a falling-off-the-bone dish that creates its own sauce and can be cooked in one pot. I devoted my book Braise: A Journey Through International Cuisine to this kind of homey cooking. In winter I like a paleron de boeuf braised in red wine with bacon, or a delicious pork shoulder braised in Guinness with dried cherries.

Child Safety & Roman Blind Cords & Chains
Roman blind cords or chains (and any other hanging cords, chains or ropes) can pose a risk for young children who could injure or strangle themselves on hanging looped cords.
For this reason BSEN13120:2009+A1:2014 (Child Safety For Blinds) was brought in to reduce these risks.
How to the New Safety Legislation Will Reduce These Risks
Roman Blind Chains (with Sidewinder option)
All cords at the rear of the roman blind will be fitted with break-away clips. This means that the cord will separate from the blind if a child pulls on the cord, thus eliminating the possibility of the cord getting wrapped round a childs neck.
All roman blinds will be sent out with safety warning labels and fixing instructions.
All chains will be sized so that the bottom of the chain is at least 1.5m from the floor.
All roman blinds will be sent out with a chain tensioning device (plastic safety clip).
This device tensions the chain against the wall, reducing the ability of children to put the chain around their necks.
How To Fit The Plastic Safety Clip For Chain
Step 1 - Hold the Tension Device upright. Position the chain in the Device. Do not twist or cross the chain.
Step 2 - Position the Tension Device on the wall or window frame and mark the hole for drilling. The tension on your chain needs to be taut enough to prevent a child from wrapping it around his/her head, but a fraction loose to enable the chain to run smoothly through the device.
Step 3 - If fixing to wall, drill the hold to the depth of the screw provided using a 5.5mm drill bit and place wall plug into hole.
Step 4 - Holding the tension device upright and in position, as shown, insert and secure the screw through the hole. The screw must be secured into a solid surface.
If you need any help explaining this further please contact us.
Roman Blind Cord (with Cord & Cleat option)
All cords at the rear of the roman blind will be fitted with break-away clips. This means that the cord will separate from the blind if a child pulls on the cord, thus eliminating the possibility of the cord getting wrapped round a childs neck.
All roman blinds will be sent out with safety warning labels and fixing instructions.
All roman blinds that have been ordered with the cord and cleat option will have a cord with a wooden acorn that hangs down to one side.
Once again there is a chance that a child will want to play with the chain and maybe put it round its neck. Creating the risk of injury or strangulation.
For this reason where there is a risk that a small child or a baby will come into contact with the cord you make sure that you take the following measures to reduce these risks.
How To Reduce The Risk
1 - When fixing the cleat to the wall make sure that it is out of the child's reach and ensure that the cord is always fully wrapped around the cleat with none of the cord hanging down within reach of the child.
2 - To further reduce risk remove the wooden acorn from the bottom of the cord. The presence of the acorn increases the chance of the cord getting tangled or caught around the child's neck. Once the child or children that visit the house have reached an older age you can reattach the wooden acorn.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The North Carolina football team stared humiliation and embarrassment in the eye on Saturday at Louisville, and the Tar Heels did not blink.
Instead they stormed from behind 36-7 at halftime to have a chance to win the game with just a couple of minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals scored on every possession in the first half.
The roles could not have been more reversed in the second half unless UNC had actually completed the pass from quarterback Bryn Renner to Erik Highsmith with 1 minute and 49 seconds remaining to win the game.
The pass hit Highsmith in the hands, but a Louisville defender pulled his arm hard enough to keep Highsmith from coming down with the potentially winning TD.
"The play for me to get inside of him, but he was already lined up inside," Highsmith said. "He kind of grabbed my right arm. By the time I turned my head, the ball was in the air.
"I tried to go and make a play. I had possession. He just made a better play on it."
First-year UNC coach Larry Fedora was outraged at his players and coaching staff at halftime.
"From what I can remember of the first half, it was lack of effort, lack of intensity, lack of passion, lack of enthusiasm, a lot of mental mistakes," Fedora said. "You name it. Whatever could go wrong went wrong in the first half."
But when the game had ended and UNC fell just short, Fedora saw hope in the midst of the disappointment.
"We're going to take this and learn from it," Fedora said. "We learned a great lesson today. This team is not done. We're in our third game of new systems in all three areas.
"What we did learn today about the Tar Heels is they have a lot of fight in them. They've got something inside of them. That alone will give us a chance. We'll get better. We will definitely learn from this mistake. We will work harder in practice."
Renner threw five touchdowns and 363 yards in the comeback. He did not play well in the first half, but it's hard to imagine a QB playing better. He ran the offense with tempo and precision and made the right calls and superb passes.
And had an illegal motion penalty not stopped him on fourth down from the 4 at the end of the game, it appeared he was about to walk into the end zone for the winning TD.
"Bryn did a very nice job in the second half, a very nice job," Fedora said. "He gave us a chance to win the football game. We thought he was going to walk in when they called the penalty."
So did redshirt freshman running back Romar Morris. He scored two touchdowns, caught five passes for 149 yards, rushed four times for 24 yards and returned a kickoff 26 yards.
He also blocked a punt near the goal line that led to another UNC touchdown and pumped genuine hope into the Tar Heels that they could win the game.
"It was good playing as hard as I can," Morris said. "I'm just thankful I'm able to be on the field with those guys every day. I'm thankful Coach Fedora has belief in me.
"Coach Fedora put me in it this week so I could block the punt. I just did my job and everybody else did their job, and I got to the punt."
Romar caught a pass with four minutes and 23 seconds left in the game and turned it into a 50-yard TD that cut the score to 39-34 and put the Tar Heels in position to win.
"Romar had an early fumble, and he was really bothered by that," Renner said. "He grew up a lot. Big-time players make plays to make up for that one play. He made up for it big-time. He took a little check-down to the house. He did a lot of good things and helped us almost win the ball game."
Special teams then rose to the occasion again when the kickoff team forced a fumble on the ensuing kick. That is when the Tar Heels came so tantalizingly close to completing an amazing comeback.
"Romar Morris made all kinds of plays to give us an opportunity to give us a chance to be in that football game," Fedora said. "Romar got in there and got [the punt block]. On the kickoff return, I don't know who it was, but somebody knocked the tar out of the guy, and the guy put the ball on the ground. That gave us an opportunity.
"We didn't capitalize there at the end."
The good news is that with Giovani Bernard injured, Morris and A.J. Blue are doing an good job in his place. Now it's just a matter of the team starting the game strong and finishing strong.
A week ago, a weak finish led to a loss at Wake Forest. Saturday it was a disastrous first half.
"We make it a point in keys to victory, 'No self-inflicted wounds,'" Renner said. "We didn't execute in that category today. We had a false start in a key time of the game. You can't change time and you have to move forward."

Original Airdate: December 12th, 1989
Series: Transformers: Victory
Episode #37
Summary: As Deszaras continues his assault on Earth, the Multiforce merge into Landcross to stop a meteorite from crashing into Countdown. Goryu, having been repaired by the Rescue Squad and realizing that Deszaras has left the Dinoforce to die, gives Jan some information about how to stop the Space Fortress, but with Landcross and Roadcaesar badly damaged and Victory Saber lost, who will help? So, Jan and Holi take Galaxy Shuttle to head for the Space Fortress. Meanwhile, Deszaras transforms the Space Fortress into a massive cannon which can destroy all metallic life on Earth. Victory Saber has recovered from that blast and tries to stop the cannon, with little results. Liocaesar emerges and battles Victory Leo as Jan and Holi arrive. Star Saber takes Leo's gun and heads into the fortress with Jan and Holi. Victory Leo slams Liocaesar into the energy shield, pretty much destroying him, sending him hurtling into space. Jan equips his car with a bomb and sends it into the Fortress' power source, cutting off its energy. As Star Saber looks for Jan, Deszaras confronts him and they battle inside. Star Saber manages to destroy Deszaras by implanting his sword into his chest as Victory Leo and Holi manage to find Jan. Suddenly the Fortress locks up as Deszaras, on his last bit of energy, escapes into the Black Nebula, trapping Star Saber inside. Victory Leo manages to break his way into the Fortress, and they merge to destroy the Fortress once and for all.
