Work Life Balance
We strive to give our employees the means to cope and to respond to the demands of the world in respect to the working environment.
Flexible working hours and the ability to structure an employee's work around them are a top priority at Interroll. We believe it is important for each and every employee to be able to balance their job and their free time to the best of their ability.
Various local health initiatives
Especially the health of our employees is one of Interroll's primary concerns. This is why we are running our very own state-of-the-art fitness studio at our premises in Wermelskirchen, Germany.
Our facility has met with a high level of appreciation and has been very well received by our workforce. Currently, around 50% of employees regularly come to work out. The fitness circuit is available to all employees. Many colleagues from the production use it, some of them before their shift commences, and others once their shift is over. On the other hand, employees working in the offices tend to visit it between the hours of 16:00 and 18:00.
The Interroll fitness center is open to retired employees as well. Some colleagues come in to the studio even when they are off on holiday, in order to keep up their training on our Milon fitness circuit.
It is one of our aims to provide our employees with a good opportunity to do something for their health. In particular, the fitness circuit should provide an antidote and counterbalance to the tough demands of the world of work.
But it is also very important to us beeing an attractive employer. This means not only providing a good working atmosphere, but also coming up with certain special things to encourage employees' long-term loyalty to the company. We have created an excellent space for the fitness area and are very proud of this achievement.

Te'o sees career end with BCS title-game loss
One of the last things Manti Te'o remembers Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly telling his team before the BCS title game was about the importance of four particular segments of play.
-The first two minutes of the game.
-The last two minutes of the first half.
-The first two minutes of the second half.
-The last two minutes of the game.
Of those, only one was not wrought with disaster for the Fighting Irish - and by then Te'o had left the field for the last time as a Notre Dame player.
Overmatched from the very start, Notre Dame's hopes of going from unranked to undisputed this season ended in a crimson-and-white display of precise football. The Irish were beaten by Alabama 42-14 in the title matchup on Monday night, the only loss in 13 games for a Notre Dame team that few thought would be a championship hopeful when the season began.
"I'm obviously disappointed, not necessarily all that we lost, but just we didn't represent our school, our team, our families the way that we could have," Te'o said. "So in that aspect it's just disappointing. But at the same time I'm proud to be a part of this team. What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger."
Cliche, sure.
But if anyone can live by those words, it's Te'o, particularly after what he endured over the course of his final college season.
Alabama set the tone in the first two minutes, starting the game with an 82-yard march in only five plays to take a 7-0 lead on Eddie Lacy's touchdown run, the first of his many highlights on this night. With 31 seconds left in the half, Lacy caught a touchdown pass for his second score - one that made it 28-0 and had Kelly cracking a joke at his own expense in a televised halftime interview.
"All Alabama," Kelly said at the time. "I mean, we can't tackle them right now. And who knows why? They're big and physical - I guess I do know why."
Anyone who was watching knew why.
So the first two minutes were all `Bama, the last two minutes of the half went the Tide's way as well, and the first two minutes of the third quarter ended with Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson throwing an interception near the goal line, a sensational play made by Alabama's HaHa Clinton-Dix to come up with that turnover.
Alabama scored on the ensuing drive, and Te'o stood perfectly still as he took a long look at one of the giant video screens in Sun Life Stadium, studying the replay of that touchdown.
It was a pose that Notre Dame repeated way, way too often.
"We just needed to execute better," safety Zeke Motta said. "It was just a matter of execution and playing the right way."
Missed chances on offense, missed tackles on defense. Kelly didn't pinpoint reasons why for either - months of agonizing over film will tell that story - but some in the Notre Dame locker room insisted that the final score didn't accurately show how far the Irish have come this season.
"They didn't dominate us," Notre Dame nose guard Louis Nix said. "We missed tackles."
The numbers sure suggested domination.
By halftime, the Irish had already given up more points than they had in any game this season, the previous high being 26 in a triple-overtime win over Pittsburgh.
The most yards Notre Dame gave up this season was 379; Alabama cracked the 500 mark early in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide finished with 529 yards, converted 8 of 13 third downs, got five touchdowns in five trips to the red zone and became the first team since Stanford in 2009 to score at least 42 points against the Irish.
"Pretty darn good football team, but not good enough," Kelly said, assessing his team as Alabama's victory celebration was wrapping up on the field. "So it's clear what we need to do in the offseason."
What they do next will come without Te'o, the senior linebacker who was widely considered the nation's top defensive player this season.
He was a nonfactor early with a couple of missed tackles - rare for him - and that foreshadowed how the rest of the night would go for the Fighting Irish.
"The best thing about this experience is it creates fire, it creates fuel, for both the guys staying here and the guys leaving," Te'o said. "Everybody here tonight will be better because of it."
Te'o leaves as an absolute surefire Notre Dame fan favorite, for both what he did on the field and how he handled things away from the game.
He's a Mormon from Hawaii who spurned USC to sign with Notre Dame. He was one of the biggest sparkplugs for this current revitalization of Irish football, and saw his personal story become one of the more compelling parts of this Notre Dame season - when he mourned the deaths of both his girlfriend and his grandmother by playing perhaps his best game, a 12-tackle show against Michigan State.
He wound up finishing second in the Heisman Trophy race.
The Irish wound up finishing second in the national title chase.
And when it was all over, Te'o showed absolutely no regrets. He was subbed out of the game with about 2:15 remaining, shook some hands and started saying his farewell to the college game.
"Obviously we wish the night could have ended in a different way," Te'o said, "but the season, the year, my career here, I've been truly blessed to be at Notre Dame.
"And I'll forever be proud to say that I'm a Notre Dame Fighting Irish."

This Sunday (March 6 at 3:15 p.m. at Temple Beth-El), the San Antonio Chamber Music Society presents the Quatuor Ysaÿe in a program of three string quartets. The final work on the program is Brahms' first string quartet. Brahms may have written as many as 20 string quartets prior to his "first," but he destroyed them all. He did this to multiple symphonies, too. One of the great frustrations of being a Brahms lover is never knowing what all these major pieces sounded like. Brahms was thought to have spent eight years on this quartet and up to 20 years pondering his first symphony. He was certainly in no hurry to perform works he felt weren't worthy.
When you think of Brahms, the string quartet is the one form that doesn't immediately come to mind. His most performed works include his four symphonies, a violin concerto, the double concert for violin and cello, two piano concertos, lots of songs, and several chamber music works. The chamber works include piano trios, quartets and quintets, and sonatas for clarinet, violin and cello.
Here is a video about Brahms' first quartet and how he struggled in Beethoven's shadow:

Learn Linux, 302 (Mixed environments)
CIFS integration
Using Linux as a client to SMB/CIFS servers
Content series:
This content is part # of # in the series: Learn Linux, 302 (Mixed environments)
This content is part of the series:Learn Linux, 302 (Mixed environments)
Stay tuned for additional content in this series.
In this article, learn about these concepts:
- The Server Message Block (SMB) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols
- Features and benefits of using CIFS
- Mounting CIFS shares on a Linux client
This article helps you prepare for Objective 314.1 in Topic 312 of the Linux Professional Institute's (LPI) Mixed Environment specialty exam (302). The objective has a weight of 3.
This article assumes that you have a working knowledge of Linux
command-line functions and that you understand the basics of Samba
configuration. You should be familiar with the overall structure of the
smb.conf configuration file. You should also understand the basics of how
Linux mounts local and remote file systems (using the
mount command and /etc/fstab file). Familiarity
with the standard Linux text-mode
ftp command
is helpful but not required.
Understanding SMB/CIFS
Before proceeding with a description of how to use Linux as a client to an SMB/CIFS server, it's helpful to review the characteristics of the protocols to see how they compare with Linux's needs for a file system. This comparison comes in two parts: an examination of the original SMB protocol and an investigation of the ways in which the newer CIFS extensions change the SMB basics. You may want to review the developerWorks article on LPI Objective 310.1, which introduces some of the basic concepts behind SMB/CIFS (see Related topics for a link).
Basic SMB features
SMB provides several unique features from a networking perspective, including its own naming system for computers (Network Basic Input/Output System [NetBIOS] names), workgroups, and user authentication protocols. For purposes of understanding how SMB and CIFS work as protocols for a Linux file-sharing client, the most important feature is the set of metadata that the protocol provides.
Metadata is data associated with, but not part of, a file. Examples include the file's timestamp, owner, permissions, and even its name. No doubt you're familiar with some of the common features of file metadata on Linux computers, and you may be familiar with some of the differences between Linux and other operating systems, such as Windows. Because SMB was designed for DOS, Windows, and IBM Operating System/2® (OS/2), it shares many of their metadata features. Most importantly, SMB lacks support for UNIX® and Linux metadata such as ownership, groups, and most permissions. SMB also lacks support for symbolic links and hard links as well as other special file types such as device nodes. SMB provides a few types of metadata that Linux doesn't normally understand, such as the hidden, archive, and system bits. You can map a Read-only bit to the Linux Write permission bit.
Another limit of SMB is its file-size limit of 2GiB. This limitation can obviously pose a problem in today's world of multi-gibibyte backup files, multimedia files, and so on.
To work around these SMB differences from Linux's file system expectations, Linux SMB clients must either ignore them or provide options to "fake" the data. These options are similar to those used when mounting NT file system (NTFS) or File Allocation Table (FAT) file systems on Linux. Fortunately, CIFS provides more and better options for handling some of these limitations.
You should be aware of the network ports that SMB uses, as well. These are User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports 137 and 138 (for name resolution and datagram services) and TCP port 139 (for session services—in other words, most file transfers). You'll need this information if you ever have to debug SMB using low-level network diagnostic tools.
CIFS extensions to SMB
In the mid-1990s, Microsoft® decided to change SMB's name to CIFS and simultaneously added a new set of features. These features include support for symbolic and hard links and larger file sizes. CIFS also supports access to the server on port 445 in addition to the older port, 139.
At least as important as Microsoft's own extensions to SMB in CIFS are others' extensions. In particular, a set of CIFS features known as UNIX extensions provides support for file ownership, permissions, and some other UNIX-style metadata. If the client and server both support these features, you can make much more effective use of a CIFS server from Linux than you could a server that only supports SMB. As you might expect, Windows Server® operating systems don't support these extensions, so they're only useful when your Linux client connects to a Samba server. This server must also be configured with the following global option:
unix extensions = Yes
This option was set to
No by default in Samba
prior to version 3.0, but Samba 3.0 switched the default to
Yes, so you may not need to explicitly set the
Using smbclient
In some respects, the simplest way to access an SMB/CIFS server from Linux
is to use a text-mode utility known as
smbclient. This program is similar to the
ftp client program, so if you're
familiar with
ftp, you should have few problems
smbclient. If you're not familiar with
ftp, the idea behind the program is to initiate
a connection to the server that does not involve mounting shares
in a traditional manner. Instead, you type commands to view, delete,
download, or upload files.
To use
smbclient, you type its name followed by
a service name, which takes the form //SERVER/SERVICE,
such as //TANGO/GORDON to access the GORDON share on the TANGO
server. Depending on the server's configuration, you will probably be
prompted for a password. If you enter it correctly, you are able to type
various commands to access files on the server. Table 1 summarizes some of
the more important
smbclient commands; consult
the utility's main page for information on more exotic commands.
Table 1: Important smbclient commands
? or
|Displays a summary of commands
|Changes to a new directory on the server
|Deletes a file
dir or
|Shows the files in the current directory (or one you specify)
exit or
|Terminates the session
|Transfers a file from the server to the client
|Changes the working directory on the local computer
md or
|Creates a directory on the server
|Transfers multiple files from the server to the client
|Displays a remote file using your local pager
|Transfers multiple files from the client to the server
|Transfers a file from the client to the server
rd or
|Deletes a directory
|Renames a file on the server
|Deletes one or more files on the server
By default,
smbclient uses your current user
name to connect to the server; however, you can change your user name with
-U option. In fact, several other
command-line options are available, including options that make it
possible to transfer files without entering
smbclient's interactive mode. Therefore, you
can use
smbclient in scripts to perform
automated file transfers. Consult the program's main page for details on
this topic.
In use, an
smbclient session is likely to
resemble Listing 1.
Listing 1. Example smbclient session
$ smbclient //TANGO/GORDON/ Enter gordon's password: Domain=[RINGWORLD] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.12] smb: \> cd mystuff smb: \mystuff\> ls . D 0 Mon May 16 19:20:08 2011 .. D 0 Mon May 16 19:18:12 2011 xv-3.10a-1228.1.src.rpm 3441259 Tue May 18 19:09:26 2010 License.txt 27898 Mon May 16 19:17:15 2011 xorg.conf 1210 Fri Jan 21 04:18:13 2011 51198 blocks of size 2097152. 2666 blocks available smb: \mystuff\> get xorg.conf getting file \mystuff\xorg.conf of size 1210 as xorg.conf (9.4 KiloBytes/sec) (average 9.4 KiloBytes/sec) smb: \mystuff\> exit
smbclient makes an excellent debugging tool.
It's simple and gives you the ability to access your network in a way
other than mounting a share, which can be helpful if you're trying to
debug a problem.
Mounting SMB/CIFS shares
smbclient is a useful tool, it doesn't
give you the same sort of seamless access to the server that you're used
to from Windows clients. If you need such access, you must use other tools
to mount the SMB/CIFS shares. You can do this with the standard Linux
mount command; or you can edit your /etc/fstab
file to automatically mount SMB/CIFS shares when the computer boots.
Temporarily mounting shares
You can mount an SMB/CIFS share using the same
mount command you use to mount local volumes or
Network File System (NFS) exports. You can specify the file system type as
cifs; or, in most cases,
mount figures out to use this driver based on
the syntax of the command. Alternatively, you can call the helper program
mount.cifs directly. In principle, only the
device specification is different from that for mounting a local file
system; thus, to mount the GORDON share from the TANGO server, you could
type, as root:
# mount //TANGO/GORDON /mnt
In practice, though, this usage has a problem: It passes
root as the user name to the server. If the
server doesn't permit root to log in, the mount attempt will fail. You can
correct this problem by using the
-o user=name option to pass a user
name to the server:
# mount -o user=gordon //TANGO/GORDON /mnt Password:
Several other mount options, passed with the
option to
mount, are available. Table 2
summaries the most useful of these options. Consult the
mount.cifs main page for information on
additional options.
Table 2: Important mount.cifs options
user=name or
|Specifies the user name to send to the server.
|Specifies the password to send to the server. If the password is
not specified,
mount.cifs uses the
value of the PASSWD environment variable; if that's not set, the
program prompts for the password.
|Specifies a file that contains the user name, password, and,
optionally, the workgroup name. Each value appears on its own
line, preceded by the strings
password=, and
workgroup=, respectively.
|Sets the user ID (UID) of the user who is to own the files mounted from the share.
|Similar to the
uid=UID option,
but affects the group ID (GID) rather than the UID.
|Sets the file mode (permissions), in numeric form, to be assigned to files from the server.
|Similar to
file_mode=mode, but
affects directories rather than files.
|Prevents prompting for a password. This option typically works only if the share supports guest access.
|If the server becomes inaccessible, processes that attempt to access files on the server will hang until the server returns.
|If the server becomes inaccessible, processes that attempt to access files on the server will receive error messages. This is the default behavior.
file_mode, and
dir_mode options are usually unnecessary if you
connect to a server that supports the CIFS UNIX extensions. You can use
these features to override the values that the server provides in these
cases, though. Note also that these options all affect the way the files
appear on the client; permissions and ownership on the server are
unaffected by these options.
With the SMB/CIFS share mounted, you can access it just as you would a
local volume or an NFS volume. You can copy files with
cp, delete files with
rm, edit files directly with text editors or
other programs, and so on. Keep in mind, though, that if the server
doesn't support a feature, you might not be able to use it. For instance,
you can't use
chmod to change the mode of a
file unless the server supports the UNIX extensions. (A partial exception
in the case of
chmod is that you can change
Write permissions; these are mapped, in inverse fashion, to the SMB
Read-only bit.)
When you're finished using a share, you can unmount it with the
umount command, just as if it were a local file
# umount /mnt
Permanently mounting shares
If you want a computer to mount an SMB/CIFS share permanently, you can do
so by adding an entry to /etc/fstab. This process works much like any
other translation of a
mount command to an
/etc/fstab entry. However, one option from Table 2
deserves special mention in this context:
credentials. Because most SMB/CIFS servers use
passwords for authentication, you must permanently store the password if
you expect a share to be mounted using /etc/fstab. Storing the password
directly in /etc/fstab using the
option is possible, but inadvisable; because /etc/fstab must be readable
by all the computer's users, a password stored in this way will also be
readable by everyone. Using
credentials enables
you to store the password in a file that's readable only by root, thus
improving password security.
A working /etc/password entry for an SMB/CIFS share might resemble the following:
//TANGO/BACKUPS /saveit cifs credentials=/etc/samba/creds.txt 0 0
The associated credentials file might look like this:
username=buuser password=Iw2bUmS[t
Caution: Be sure to give the credentials file suitable permissions—normally 0600 or 0400 with ownership by root or by the user whose credentials are stored in the file.
With this configuration in place, the //TANGO/BACKUPS share should be
mounted automatically whenever you reboot the computer or type
mount -a. If this feature doesn't work, verify
that the user name and password are correct, test with the
mount command, and perform other routine
troubleshooting procedures.

DAMASCUS, Syria, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he is supports calls for Syria to surrender its chemical weapons to avert a U.S. airstrike.
"I'm considering urging the Security Council to demand the immediate transfer of Syria's chemical weapons and chemical precursor stocks to places inside Syria where they can be safely stored and destroyed," Ban said Monday during a news conference at the U.N. headquarters in New York.
In Washington, National Security Adviser Susan Rice warned Monday that inaction to Assad's use of chemical weapons in Syria -- of which U.S. officials say they have evidence -- would threaten U.S. national security and the security of its allies, while potentially lessening the U.S. role in the international community.
Doing nothing puts "Americans at risk of chemical attacks, targeted at our soldiers and diplomats in the region and potentially our citizens at home," Rice said in a speech in Washington the day before President Obama gives a televised speech to try to boost public support for a limited military response.
"Every time chemical weapons are moved, unloaded, and used on the battlefield, it raises the likelihood that these weapons will fall into the hands of terrorists active in Syria, including Assad's ally, Hezbollah and al-Qaida affiliates," she said. If that happens, it threatens not just the United States but its allies, including Israel, "where people once again have readied gas masks."
Rice said there is "no doubt" about who is responsible for the Aug. 21 attack.
"The Syrian regime possesses one of the largest stockpiles of chemical weapons in the world," she said. "Assad has been struggling to clear these very neighborhoods in Damascus and drive out the opposition, but his conventional arsenal was not working well enough or fast enough.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he told his Syrian counterpart, Walid al-Muallem, Russia would urge that Syria cede control of its chemical weapons stockpile if it would prevent a U.S. military strike in response to evidence President Bashar Assad's forces used chemical weapons against civilians in an attack Aug. 21, killing more than 1,400.
While in London, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Assad "could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week," Kerry said during a news conference after his meeting with British Foreign Secretary William Hague. "But he isn't about to do it and it can't be done obviously."
A state department spokeswoman said Kerry was "making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied he used."
"I welcome these ideas," Ban said of Lavrov's and Kerry's comments.
While the report from the U.N. chemical weapons inspectors hasn't been received, Ban said if it confirmed chemical weapon use in the Aug. 21 attacks "then this will be an abominable crime, and the international community would certainly have to do something about it."
Discussions about Syria's 2 1/2-year civil war have produced "only embarrassing paralysis" at the U.N. Security Council, Ban said. Russia, a permanent member, has blocked anti-Syrian resolutions before the council.
Ban said he was reviewing options to get the panel moving on the issue, among them one "urging the Security Council to demand the immediate transfer of Syria's chemical weapons and chemical precursor stocks to places inside Syria where they can be safely stored and destroyed."
If the chemical weapons inspectors confirm allegations of chemical weapons use, "there would be a need for accountability both to bring to justice those who used them," Ban said, "and to deter anyone else from using this abhorrent method of warfare. There would be a need for greater security regarding any chemical weapons stocks. And there remains an urgent need for the international conference in Geneva and the cessation of hostilities."
"The Syrian people need peace," he said.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, calling the situation "fluid" with statements from Russia, Syria and others, said if the Assad regime "immediately surrendered its stockpiles to international control ... that would be an important step."
But, she cautioned, "this cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction, and Russia has to support the international community's efforts sincerely or be held to account."
Antony Blinken, U.S. deputy national security adviser, reiterated to reporters during the daily White House briefing what administration officials have told members of Congress:
"That we've concluded with high confidence that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons on August 21st with rockets and artillery against its own civilians. We told them that we concluded that well over 1,000 people had been killed, including hundreds of children."
"We ran through in detail the intelligence that we have, intelligence that shows preparation for the attack, intelligence that shows the attack itself and its effects, post-attack observations by key participants, and then more recently various physiological samples -- blood, skin, as well as soil -- that showed that sarin was used," Blinken said. "We made the case that it was very important to stand up for the international prohibition against the use of chemical weapons, a prohibition that I think all of you know has been in place basically since the end of World War I."
Others around the world may be watching, countries such as Iran and North Korea, and terror groups such as Hezbollah, he said.
"If we don't stand up and enforce this prohibition," Blinken said, "they will take the wrong lesson from it."
Also Monday, the White House said 14 more countries signed on to a joint statement on Syria, condemning the Assad regimes use of chemical weapons in the Aug. 21 attack. On Sept. 6, during the Group of 20 summit in Russia, the United States and 10 other countries issued the statement that supports efforts by the United States and other countries to reinforce the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons.
"We welcome additional countries expressing their support for this statement and our continued efforts to hold the Assad regime accountable and enforce the international norm against the use of chemical weapons," the White House said in a statement.

"We really shouldn't be here," Tim Fink declared as he kicked off a party celebrating Florida Georgia Line 's hit song "Cruise" Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 29) at the Country Music Association building in Nashville.
Fink, who represents the SESAC performance rights organization, then proceeded to explain to the crowd how stacked the odds are against anyone reaching the top of the charts — much less a new act's first single from its first album going No. 1 in Billboard and staying there for multiple weeks, as "Cruise" had done.
Only 34 country songs hit No. 1 in 2012, Fink continued. Of these, only 16 stayed at the top for more than a week.
"Cruise" was jointly composed by five songwriters — Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley (the duo that constitutes Florida Georgia Line), Joey Moi, Chase Rice and Jesse Rice. Jesse Rice is a SESAC writer, and the other four are affiliated with the BMI performance rights group, which sponsored the celebration.
Moi is also the duo's producer.
All the songwriters were on hand to receive a profusion of awards and enjoy loud and repeated cheers from the throng of family, friends and music industry insiders.
Speaker after speaker praised Florida Georgia Line's work ethic, noting that Hubbard and Kelley write on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and tour on the weekends, routinely hustling their own sound equipment.
Jimmy Harnen, president of Republic Nashville, the duo's record label, presented Hubbard and Kelley platinum plaques certifying that "Cruise" has shipped more than 1 million copies.
Scott Borchetta, whose Big Machine Label Group includes Republic Nashville, likened the talent and career prospects for Florida Georgia Line to such other legendary country duos as the Judds and Brooks & Dunn .
Looking over all the awards that had been dispensed, Borchetta turned to the crowd and asserted happily, "Get used to it."
"From day one, we prayed before every show," Hubbard said, choking back tears when it came his turn to speak. He called his mother to the stage to present her a plaque for all the support and encouragement she's provided him.
Kelley continued with the family theme, beckoning his mother, father and sister forward to join him.
"It's cool to be able to share this [celebration] with you," he told them.
He recalled taking Florida Georgia Line's first songs to BMI and being told, "You're kind of the light beer of country music. … Bring me some dark beer."
Surveying all the awards surrounding him, Kelley said, "I think we got our dark beer."View photos from the No. 1 party.

Bad news, grandpa: Turn in your license!
I am afraid to write this column. Very afraid. Normally in my office, I feel like a rock star! I like my patients and my patients like me.
However, there are times when I go from being Bono of U2 to Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl– times when I have to do the unthinkable: take away someone's driver's license. (Insert music from Psycho here: eek, eek, eek...) For me, taking away a person's driver's license is as enjoyable as listening to Rosanne sing the National Anthem at a baseball game.
How can it be so traumatic to restrict a person's driver's license?
When I was a medical student at UVA, one of my professors said, "The difference between a lawyer and a doctor is the type of customer service we deliver. In general, lawyers want to please their clients and do what is asked of them. Doctors do what is best for the clients and that might go against what the patient wants." Confucius couldn't have said it better.
Thirteen percent of Americans are 65 years or older, and by 2020, 50 million Americans will be in that age category– half of them older than 75. I originally thought elderly people were involved in fewer car accidents than people in other age groups; however my research in the medical literature reveals that elderly drivers are involved in more fatal car crashes per miles driven than any other age groups, except for teenagers.
Drivers over 75 years old have more traffic violations and nonfatal collisions than younger drivers. Failure to yield right-of-way and to follow traffic signs are the most common violations. These violations often lead to accidents at intersections where full peripheral vision and quick responses are necessary. Mad Max, eat your heart out.
So when is it time to hang up the car keys? Driving is such a huge part of our culture, one of the things that provide us independence and freedom. Look at LA: people who live in small apartments drive cars that cost as much as a villa in France. In 1999, the California State Senate debated whether to require people 75 and older to take driving tests, but that plan died faster than a suggestion that the Academy Awards inaugurate an Adult Movies category.
Age alone is not a reason to stop driving. Medical condition(s) that can lead to traffic accidents are reasons to stop driving. These include poor vision, poor memory and thinking ability, history of falls in the past 1-2 years, frequent car accidents and traffic violations, and taking mind-altering medicines like tranquilizers.
The sad fact is I have never seen an entire family happy with the decision to revoke a driver's license. One family called me Mussolini when I revoked the driver's license of a grandma who couldn't remember where she was and what the red light meant on those funny boxes dangling over intersections.
What I don't understand is how a family member can sleep at night knowing their demented loved one might be lost on the roads, causing an accident, or being involved in an accident. True, the loss of independence is a huge blow to the elderly person, in particular if she or he lives in the country with limited (or no) public transportation.
Not many states require physicians to revoke drivers' licenses, and in a recent survey, 30 percent of geriatricians (doctors who specialize in elderly health care) did not know how to go about reporting dangerous drivers. (See, geriatricians like to be rock stars, too!)
However, I'd rather be called Mussolini than let my patient get hurt. Just don't ask me to put my hand inside my vest and pose.
Got a medical question? Dr. Hook wants to hear from you!

Common Core, education's front-end alignment
By now, most people have heard of the Common Core curriculum. But for such a sweeping change, many do not know exactly what it is. The name indicates all children will be taught the same things, but that's not it -- at least not exactly.
Common Core is the first major reform initiative to deal with the front end of education -- the substance of what actually is being taught in the classroom, instead of focusing solely on student performance on standardized tests (although testing is a big part of it as well).
It is also the first reform that sets one set of standards for all. For the first time in the history of the United States, kids in Alabama and California are expected to acquire the same skills, at the same grade level, as kids in Connecticut and New York.
In the Milford schools, math supervisor Lisa Swanson said the emphasis in the new curriculum is on the journey, not the destination.
"It's not only about getting the right answer, but getting to the answer," she said of math problems. Solving them also becomes a job for teams of students, not individuals.
In language arts, there is much more focus on nonfiction, short novels and tough-to-read prose.
"This is not to say that narrative reading or narrative writing are going away," said Jennifer Sinal, an English supervisor in Milford. But the focus is on engaging in active reading strategies across content areas.
This year, Connecticut joins 44 other states that have adopted the reform. Released in their final form in June 2010, Common Core's English/language-arts and math standards do not mandate what schools must teach. Instead, they outline the body of skills and knowledge that students are expected to develop each year in kindergarten through 12th grade, with the ultimate goal of ensuring they are ready to succeed in college and eventually the workforce after they graduate from high school.
For example, the standards do not say fifth-grade students must read "Treasure Island," but they do say students of that age should be able to "determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in text." Likewise, the standards do not dictate which math curriculum school districts will use. But they do spell out mathematical concepts and functions that students should be able to master by each grade level.
The standards: English/language arts
The Common Core State Standards themselves are many and detailed, not to mention dry and academic. Common Core's website lists the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers as the standards' authors. Elsewhere, many education experts describe David Coleman, now the president of the College Board, as Common Core's "architect."
The standards cover two academic subjects: English/language arts and mathematics.
Common Core's ELA standards define what students should understand and be able to do in reading, writing, speaking and other language-related skills in each grade. All lead to the abilities students should possess by the time they graduate from high school.
At each level, the ELA standards set specific benchmarks. For example, fifth-graders are expected to perform the following when reading literature:
Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
Determine a theme of a story, drama or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.
Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., how characters interact).
The ELA standards aim to create a "staircase of increasing text complexity," in which students are expected to develop their skills and apply them to increasingly complex pieces of writing.
"The concept is that students will do fewer things deeper and with greater rigor," said Dianna Roberge-Wentzell, Connecticut's chief academic officer. "A lot of times, our curriculum was described as a mile wide but an inch deep. This is a contrast between us and countries that tend to outperform us."
Not everyone is as optimistic as she is about the reform, however. One of the many aspects of the Common Core that have provoked passionate debate is the type of texts students must tackle. A concentration on non-fiction has many educators up in arms.
By fourth grade, it expects students' coursework to follow a 50-50 split between literary and "informational" non-fiction texts. The latter category's share rises to 55 percent by eighth grade and jumps to 70 percent by 12th grade, including reading in social studies/history, science and other subjects.
"If our students read 50 percent fiction and 50 percent non-fiction, then they will be moving toward college readiness," said Roberge-Wentzell. "The change to more non-fiction at the elementary level is to develop students' content understanding and expose them to different types of writing. Having systematic work with non-fiction is going to be very important for kids."
But some educators worry that the burden for teaching non-fiction texts will disproportionately fall on English teachers.
"What the Common Core has done is to lessen teaching kids how to read literature, which is the stuff of the English curriculum, giving the English teacher growing responsibility as the grade gets higher for the teaching of non-fiction," said Ellin Rossberg, an education consultant, as well as an English teacher and administrator for more than 40 years in public schools in New York City and New Rochelle, N.Y. New York fully implemented the reform last year.
"The teachers of other subject disciplines are not trained to teach reading and written response in their own areas," she added. "Therefore, since there is a growing emphasis on teaching non-fiction, they really expect and lean on the English teachers."
Others maintain that Common Core can accommodate a range of genres.
"I think these Common Core standards still leave room for literature, as well as expository texts," said Sarah Woulfin, a professor at the University of Connecticut's Neag School of Education. "It may be asking students and teachers to engage with narrative texts in a different way, but I wouldn't describe it as an effort to remove literary texts."
Common Core does not impose reading lists. It does require that students read classic myths and stories, America's founding documents and Shakespeare and suggests that in later grades they read American classics such as "The Grapes of Wrath" and "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass."
Some educators argue that many of the suggested readings are not attuned to many pupils' learning needs and backgrounds.
"The suggested materials tend to be culturally insensitive and developmentally inappropriate for many students. At a certain point, top-down management creates readicide," said Bryan Ripley Crandall, director of the Connecticut Writing Project at Fairfield University. "By readicide, I'm referring to what Kelly Gallagher, a teacher and writer, describes as the `systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools.' This occurs when young people do not see themselves or their worlds in any of the assignments they are given. It also occurs when students are required to read complex texts that are beyond their social, psychological, and intellectual development."
The standards: Math
Common Core's math standards encompass a variety of concepts and procedures. Its framers argue that the standards foster command in each grade of key math concepts, preparing students to take on more complex problems in later grades. The standards are meant to cultivate understanding of mathematical concepts and an ability to apply math to new situations, rather than rote memorization.
"There is a world of difference between a student who can summon a mnemonic device to expand a product such as (a + b)(x + y) and a student who can explain where the mnemonic comes from," says the website. "The student who can explain the rule understands the mathematics, and may have a better chance to succeed at a less familiar task ..."
Roberge-Wentzell describes this focus on understanding as more effective than the "spiraling" approach supported by the Frameworks, the state academic standards that Common Core replaced.
"The idea behind spiraling was if students didn't quite get it the first time that they'd jump on again in first or second grade," she said. "Frankly, a lot of the time the earlier chapters in books got more attention and later chapters got less coverage.
"It didn't encourage teaching to mastery because teachers could say `we'll cover it next year.' Common Core will still cover all of the same kinds of math before pre-algebra but do so deeper, so there's a real focus on teaching to mastery."
Some prominent educators question the math standards, arguing they set unrealistic expectations in some cases. Carol Burris, New York's 2013 high school principal of the year, cited a counting standard that expects kindergartners, some of whom enter at age 4, to be able to count to 100 by ones and by tens. She contrasted that to previous standards that expect the average child to count to 42 by age 5½ or 6.
"Children are being asked to perform tasks and to demonstrate learning that is far above what they're ready to do, and what it's leading to is a lot of frustration and school phobia and a feeling as though school is not where they want to be," Burris said. "For young kids, in particular, school should be a fun thing."
Irene Parisi, Greenwich's assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and professional learning, argues that the district can follow Common Core, while still accommodating a diverse range of students.
During Cutler's math lesson Tuesday, Parisi pointed to a section of the class in which students broke into smaller groups. During that time, some of the students who had shown a solid grasp of counting worked independently on worksheets, others worked with a professional learning assistant, while Cutler worked one-on-one with another student. The class' math work that day centered upon a standard that expects kindergartners to write numbers from 0 to 20 and represent a number of objects with a written numeral from 0 to 20.
"We can use the standards to see how students are progressing, and we can adjust to meet their standards," she said. "There's a lot of flexibility."

SCOTTS VALLEY — A San Jose woman arrested on theft charges pretended to be her cousin when police asked her name, Scotts Valley police said.
Officers received a report Monday afternoon of a woman stealing alcohol and other items from the Scotts Valley Market. She left without paying for the items, which were stuffed in her purse, Lt. John Hohmann said.
Officers located Krissie Brown, 40, at a nearby fast food restaurant where she admitted to taking the items and turned them over to police. She was arrested on suspicion of burglary and booked into Santa Cruz County Jail. Unfortunately, she was booked under the wrong name. Brown's cousin somehow discovered Brown had given police her name instead of Brown's own. She reported the lie to officers.
Brown was then arrested on an additional charge of impersonating another person for the purposes of liability.

If I have a message M and a public key P, and I encrypt them alongside one another:
CIPHER = AES(M + P, aes_key)
Is CIPHER now weakened if someone knows what P is? It seems like if I encrypted only P:
CIPHER = AES(P, aes_key)
that it should be possible to recover aes_key from CIPHER. I realize that this is different than encrypting M + P, but is a weakness introduced?
My goal is to be able to send a signed encrypted message without revealing the originator publicly.

A locker room has lockers numbered 0,1,2,...,1023 . All lockers are initially closed. The first person walks in and flips every locker The 2nd person flips every other locker (starting at 0) The 3rd person flips every third locker (starting at 0) . . . The 1024 person flips every 1024 locker (starting at 0) At the end, which lockers are open and which are closed?
What the program must do:
Write a program that creates an array of 1024 indices of type Boolean. Each index will represent a locker. You may assume that when the Boolean value is false, the locker is closed and when the value is true, the locker is open. This program will determine which lockers are open and closed at the end of the procedure above.
So it will output the locker number and whether or not it is open or closed.
For starters I was thinking to create an array calledwhich will create 1024 indices with either true or false (open or closed) elements.boolean[] Lockers = new boolean[1024];
What I don't know is how to make every person go to their correct interval locker, and put it into a loop. When helping please don't use advanced code I have only learned arrays, while/dowhile/for loops, bubble sort*, user input.
I'm a complete newb at Java so any help would be appreciated.
*I also think bubble sort should be applied here, but I don't know how to apply it.
The following code is an unfinished bubble sorting program that I don't understand how to complete.
For the code above, the for-loop will move through the array x and swap any values if the current index is greater than the next index. To complete the bubble sort, the for loop above needs to be repeated until no swaps are made. Using the code above, add a Boolean variable called swap and a conditional loop that will repeat the for-loop until no more swaps are made.int []x = {4, 2, 3,5,1}; int temp; for (int c=0; c<x.length-1; c++){ if (x[c]>x[c+1]){ temp = x[c+1]; x[c+1]=x[c]; x[c] = temp; } }

One quart of milk paint covers approximately 70 sq. feet. Simply mix this powder with room temperature water - it's that easy!
A Milk Paint finish is unique and can range from a solid color to a stain, it all depends on how much water you add! It can be used on any porous surface without a primer. It will never chip or peel on porous surfaces as it soaks in and binds with the substrate.
Want to create a solid opaque look? Mix 1 part water to 1 part Milk Paint powder.
Want to mix as a stain? Mix 3 parts water to 1 part Milk Paint powder.
Milk Paint is non-toxic, made from 100% natural ingredients and contains no VOCs! Safe for painting indoors with no toxic odor!
How much will one bag cover?
Coverage depends on the substrate that you're painting. Generally, you can plan on using 1 quart sized bag for a medium sized dresser (and should have paint left over), but, if you're painting a dark surface with a light color, you will often use more paint and will need to apply 3-4 coats of paint to cover the dark substrate vs 1-2 coats (this is typical of all paints).
Milk Paint is known for creating that beautiful, authentic chippy finish, but you can also use a more solid finish if you add bonding agent to your paint to prevent chipping from occurring.
Milk Paint can be sealed using clear furniture wax, antiquing wax, white wax or food safe hemp oil! Wax and hemp oil are available for purchase.

Halfbrick Studios is known for releasing some high quality games including Fruit Ninja and Age of Zombies. The company has released much more games for the iOS AppStore than on the Play Store, but is slowly bringing some of its successful titles from the former to the latter.
Back in August, Halfbrick released Jetpack Joyride for Android users, but the game was available as a free download only via the Amazon AppStore. Today, the exclusivity of the game has ended and Halfbrick has released the game on the Play Store for free. Time for some fun-filled adventure with Barry Streakfries, eh? Head over to this link to install the game for free.
In other Android related gaming news, Ubisoft has finally released its hit iOS title – Rayman Jungle Run – on the Play Store. The game has excellent graphics, and an even excellent gameplay to keep the player addicted. The game can be purchased from the Play Store for $2.99.
Lastly, Rovio released its much anticipated game – Bad Pigges – on the iOS and Android App Stores. For a change, it is nice to see Rovio not release another Angry Birds like game. Bad Piggies combines the gameplay of Rovio's Amazing Alex and Angry Birds, with the usual colorful graphics as seen in other games from the company, to make for one addictive game. The game is free to download but has some in-app purchases, which thankfully do not affect the gameplay of the user at all.
Bad Piggies is available as a free download in HD and non-HD version.

As I try to do often while en route to one place, I tell my GPS not to use highways, and end up finding something else. This was such a place.
Along the side of the road, a house and a string of small cabins that were obviously rented out to passers by. I'm not sure what may have caused the small business's demise. Perhaps the Interstate bypassed the area too far away. Perhaps the owners simply gave up the business for a retirement home in Florida.
In any event, it made an interesting rest stop along the way.

The howitzer is a world object in Fallout 2, Fallout: New Vegas and appears as an unnamed artillery piece in Fallout 3. The model of the howitzer (NellisArtillery) is used in other artillery pieces.
The howitzer and other artillery are pre-War weapons that were used by the United States Armed Forces, some are mobile, some are stationary but all use the same basic principles and gunpowder as a propellant. They provide covering fire for ground forces, anti-air support, can soften up fortified targets, or fill a role in testing new varieties of shells, most notably saturnite. A large number of these weapons were stored or fielded in various parts of the country.
Fallout 2Edit
- A howitzer can be used to gain access to the Sierra Army Depot, providing a wealth of resources.
- The savant weapon smith Algernon in New Reno has been provided with a howitzer by Eldridge, the owner of the New Reno Arms, for maintenance. The weapon is to be added to his collection and stockpile of arms.
Fallout 3Edit
- The Talon Company possesses an unknown number of artillery pieces. They are never strictly identified as howitzers. Artillery strikes from the weapons can be called in on Seward Square and the super mutant behemoth at Takoma Park. Both include some form of operating instructions, which is a note near the signal switches.
- The Enclave possess artillery in some form as well, as evidenced by the Sector artillery notes located at Adams Air Force Base. However, these weapons are only mentioned, as they do not have a means of being fired. The Enclave will instead fire from atop the mobile base crawler using their Big Guns.
Fallout: New VegasEdit
- The Boomers acquired several of these guns from Area 2. They are used to protect Nellis Air Force Base from strangers near and far, as well as preventing anyone from effectively spying on the base. Caesar mentions that some of his scouts were shelled at extreme distances.
- Dale Barton salvaged a howitzer from a military base in Yuma, Arizona, and then sold it to Caesar's Legion. The Legion hopes to use it during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam for suppressing 1st Recon and NCR Veteran Ranger snipers, but without a Howitzer firing mechanism, they are unable to coax it to working order.
- There is also a howitzer in the wreckage of Hopeville Missile Base West, the cannon can be found near the marked men camp. The howitzer is part of the debris that makes up the barricade next to the mountain wall.
Anti-aircraft gunEdit
An anti-aircraft gun is positioned at the top of Hoover Dam. The dam would have been especially vulnerable from the air during the Great War; however, the airstrikes never came, and full-scale nuclear war broke out instead. It is likely the New California Republic keeps the gun in working order to prevent a surprise attack by anyone who manages to salvage pre-War technology or those who have post-War technology, such as the Enclave. Despite this fact, it is not used by them during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam to stop the Boomers or Enclave remnants from utilizing their aircraft as it is destroyed by the Legion early in the battle[1]. The gun can also be rigged to explode or reprogrammed during the Caesar's Legion quest Arizona Killer to assassinate the NCR president, Aaron Kimball.
Fixed artilleryEdit
Several fixed guns were positioned in Alaska to help safeguard the Alaskan Pipeline, however when the People's Liberation Army invaded the guns were seized and turned on the United States Armed Forces. During Operation: Anchorage the guns were finally silenced. How exactly control or destruction of the guns was carried out is unknown, as the only surviving record was a simulation that may or may not be entirely accurate in its portrayal of events. The guns make another appearance in Big MT, at the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch. The guns at Big MT fire test rounds comprised of Saturnite (a space-age material), one of these shells can be used in a test firing targeted at the X-7b "Boom Town" target zone. The resulting crater reveals a hidden cache that the player can loot. The gun has infinite ammunition but it can only be fired into the X-7b and it only takes one shell to make the crater.

Mobile advertising firm AdMob has released its latest metrics report?showing that Apple's iPhone is leading other smartphones in mobile Internet usage. It also confirms that the iPhone and iPod touch are the number one devices for mobile Internet access in the US and worldwide.
For those curious, AdMob doesn't measure raw market share. Instead, it measures the percentage of 2.9 billion ad requests that come from a particular device for ads served via one of its 6,000 or so network members. In the US, 29 percent of those requests came from Apple devices. The iPhone and iPod touch are the number one and number two devices respectively, with 17 percent from the iPhone and 12 percent from the iPod touch. Among just smartphone devices, the iPhone garners a commanding 51 percent of requests, with BlackBerrys taking 19 percent and T-mobile's G1 Android phone getting just three percent.
Worldwide, the iPhone and iPod touch are still the top two devices, with the iPhone taking 11 percent and the iPod touch getting over 7 percent of some 6.8 billion total ad requests. That 18 percent of the total still isn't enough to surpass Nokia, with its myriad devices totaling 30 percent. Among smartphones worldwide, Nokia's models scored 43 percent of the requests, with the iPhone getting 32 percent all to itself. Various BlackBerrys took 9 percent, and Android-based devices just register as a one percent blip on the radar.
AdMob's report also notes that traffic from Western Europe has increased 132 percent in the last year, and that the iPhone and iPod touch are responsible for 31 percent of ad requests in that particular region.
Again, this doesn't necessarily relate directly to market share numbers as measured in unit sales. With Apple garnering roughly 30 percent of the US market and about 12 percent of the worldwide market in sales, what these numbers show is that people are actually using iPhones to surf the Web and access networked applications in large numbers. And, because AdMob only serves ads to sites geared toward mobile access, it's a sure bet that folks are using iPhones and iPod touches even more than the numbers suggest.
As an interesting side note, AdMob also breaks down ad requests on a per-carrier basis, showing each device as a percentage of a particular carrier's total requests. It's clear that the iPhone represents a huge portion of mobile internet traffic on AT&T's network, with over half the requests that came from AT&T handsets coming from iPhones. However, it also appears there are quite a few unlocked iPhones on T-mobile's network, since they appear to be taking a few percentage points of that carrier's ad requests.

President Barack Obama called Gov. Pat Quinn Monday while Quinn was touring hard-hit Washington, Ill., and pledged to provide "whatever you need" as the governor updated him on the damage.
Quinn also passed the phone to Washington, Ill., Mayor Gary Manier, who also spoke directly with the president.
The Midwest head of FEMA, Andrew Velasquez, has also been in touch with Quinn via telephone to offer assistance.
Washington is apparently the hardest-hit community in the state, with more than 400 homes damaged or destroyed, one person killed and more than 120 injured when a powerful tornado raked across the small city Sunday.
Quinn toured Washington Monday, part of a statewide review of the damage left behind by the deadly string of late-season tornadoes. Scheduled stops were also made in Diamond, Gifford, Brookport and New Minden.
"Each of these communities in Illinois were hard hit yesterday by the deadliest tornadoes that we've ever had in the month of November in Illinois history," Quinn said before boarding a plane at Midway International Airport.
Statewide, officials said six people were confirmed dead. The storm was also blamed for two deaths in Michigan, NBC News reported.
"We ask God to bless the immortal souls of the six people who were killed yesterday by these tornadoes," Quinn said.
Quinn issued a declaration earlier in the day designating Champaign, Grundy, LaSalle, Massac, Tazewell, Washington and Woodford counties as disaster areas.
As the cleanup got underway, Quinn said it was vitally important that residents put together a detailed log of all items lost.
"We need to make sure that we keep those records," he said. "This is very, very important because in so doing we ultimately go to the Federal Emergency Management Agency where they do a full assessment with the records that we provide them, and our hope to get a federal disaster declaration really rides on our ability to get all information."
Help in all forms is pouring into the Washington area, but Volk says it's a bit too early.
"We've been turning people away because at this point, we simply are not ready," Washington Police Chief Don Volk said. "The assessment has not been done, we have to get the power sources back up, we've still got sections of roadway that need to be clear. Until then, we're directing everyone who wants to talk about volunteers or providing equipment, whatever, they're going to be contacting the Tazewell County Health Department."
Tens of thousands remained without power Monday as communities across the Midwest began to take stock of the devastation.
In Illinois, a majority of those without power were concentrated near Peoria. Ameren Illinois' outage center showed 32,000 customers without power during the morning hours. Other outages were scattered across central and southern Illinois. At the peak, the utility said there were about 140,000 customers without electricity.
Preliminary information from National Weather Service forecasters indicated that as many as 30 tornadoes may have touched down around the state, Quinn said.
"It's just hard to imagine. A lot of families, and myself included, were in church. We went to the basement during those services," said Washington Mayor Gary W. Manier. "The people were so resilient. They had just lost everything and they were looking for neighbors. They were worried about people down the street or somebody that they knew."
Illinois State Police trooper Dustin Pierce said the tornado there cut a path about an eighth of a mile wide from one side of the town of Washington to the other. Entire blocks were leveled.
Officials said a 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew put in place Sunday would likely remain in effect each day for about a week.
Manier said the cleanup of his community was going to take far longer.
"I understand good things are worth waiting for. I'm hoping we can get it turned around," he said, lamenting at the especially-unfortunate time of year for the storms. "It's not like we have a whole summer of construction season. With winter coming on it's going to be a little more difficult. Even the homes that are damaged and weren't leveled, as far tarping and trying to get a roof on before winter is going to be difficult.
In Indiana, Gov. Mike Pence planned to visit three communities to assess the damage leveled by storms there. Pence was scheduled to visit Kokomo, Lafayette and Washington, while the National Weather Services was dispatching three survey teams Monday to determine if storm damage was caused by tornadoes or high winds from thunderstorms.
Sunday's storms injured at least three people and cut power to tens of thousands in that state. Duke Energy alone reported about 24,000 customers still without power early Monday.
The hardest-hit area appeared to be Kokomo in north-central Indiana. Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight said the storm that left streets littered with debris and damaged businesses and homes was the worst he's seen in the 48 years he's lived in the city.

Adjustable locking hub
|Locking hub achieves angular adjustment increments of less than one degree, and a small steel prototype has been tested to withstand more than 6,000 lb-in.
Equal spacing between adjacent pins and sockets in conventional locking hubs traditionally limits the minimum angular adjustment. If spacing is 10 degrees, then the minimum adjustment usually cannot exceed 10 degrees.
By varying the angular spacing between locking pins on one hand and adjacent sockets on the other--and using fewer locking pins than sockets--this design achieves minimum angular adjustments in increments of less than one degree.
The design can be manufactured in steel, plastic or aluminum. Possible applications include articulating arms, tooling, ergonomic and operator-assist devices, adjustable exercise equipment, and camping equipment.
William Sbordon, Adjustable Locking Technologies, 27350 Southfield Rd., Ste. 114, Lathrup Village, MI 48706-3409; (248) 443-9664.
Hollow-fiber membrane
|For existing engines or retrofit, membrane modules enrich nitrogen content in air stream to reduce NOx.
Next generation EPA constraints for heavy-duty diesel engines call to reduce NOx/bhp-hr from 5 to 2 g, and from 0.6 to 0.2 g for light-duty trucks. A hollow-fiber membrane module, between turbo charger and engine, enriches the air stream with nitrogen.
Injecting 81% nitrogen-enriched air (NEA) into combustion chamber reduces NOx 50-70%, with no significant increase in smoke or CO, and 3% power loss. Optimized fiber and module design results in a system size of 0.65 cu ft or less.
Jack Stoppi, DuPont Co., Barley Mill Plaza, P-10 1284, Wilmington, DE 19880-0010; (800) 533-1313.
Ball bearing/freewheel clutch
|Modified balls slide past saw teeth enabling free rotation in one direction, then twist to transmit torque in the other.
One-way clutches, used in transmissions and other devices, usually employ separate bearings to support shaft during freewheel operation. Combined ball bearing/freewheel clutch carries high torque and features positive lock up.
Inner and outer race hold modified balls in grooves. Balls, flattened on either end, press against saw-tooth ridges on inner and outer race extensions. Balls slide by saw teeth in one direction. In reverse direction, a slight wobble makes one or more balls tilt to engage saw teeth.
