AS STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE, often they have a variety of options to consider. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, as war was spreading around the globe, many Hampden-Sydney graduates enlisted in the Armed Forces; others found work stateside or continued their education in graduate school. For a select few, a serendipitous confluence of events in their personal lives and in the greater world provided the opportunity to take part in the United State's highly secret efforts to product the first atomic bomb.
THREE HAMPDEN-SYDNEY MEN—each quite brilliant in the sciences—left the Hill for graduate school during this tumultuous period in history. Though they believed they would be entering a life of academic research and study, in actuality they were thrust into the whirlwind of the war effort, working alongside many of the country's most highly respected minds. Their intellect and creativity were pushed to the limits as scientists working within the Manhattan Project and on weapons development during the Cold War. Dr. Russell E. Fox, Jr. '38, Dr. Douglas Venable '42, and Dr. Samuel S. Jones '43 left their marks on history as some of the brightest physicists to come out of Hampden-Sydney College.
Dr. Russell E. Fox, Jr. '38
Growing up in Hampton during the Great Depression, Russell E. Fox, Jr. '38 had no intention of going to college. It was only after he got a $50 scholarship from the Liberty Baptist Church, which would cover his tuition, that he decided to come to Hampden-Sydney College. His father borrowed against his life insurance to pay for room and board. Russ Fox did not disappoint his family. He graduated summa cum laude and developed a lifelong love of physics, science, and philosophy.
Outside the classroom he joined the Jongleurs, ran on the track team, served as president of the Tidewater Club and as president of Chi Beta Phi, the national honorary scientific fraternity.
An outstanding undergraduate performance landed Fox a research fellowship in physics at the University of Virginia. His graduate work included uranium isotope separation by ultracentrifuge under Dr. Jesse Beams, who had developed the procedure. Though Fox was interested in biological applications of the ultracentrifuge, the growing war would change the direction of his work and his life. Dr. Beams was working on a way to enrich uranium for the Manhattan Project; that would quickly become Fox's emphasis as well.
Dr. Fox collected many of his memories from this period of his life for a presentation he made in the early 1990s to a Rotary Club. These remarks, which he called "A Personal Journey With a Little Boy and a Fat Man"—references to the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki—include his memory of a session at the 1939 meeting of the American Physical Society at the National Bureau of Standards. He said, "I can vividly recall the session devoted to the talk by a young physicist, Archibald Wheeler, who expounded on the new theory of uranium fission which he and Niels Bohr had developed. The room was packed … and the hallways were jammed."
Countries around the world were feverishly working on ways to make atomic weapons as the World War spread. Fox was at UVa working on separating uranium isotopes using centrifugation when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. "That night another graduate student, Tom Williams, and I stood guard over the lab to protect it," Fox recalled. "Some protection! Not even a water pistol. The next morning, however, the National Guard showed up and surrounded the place. One graduate student thought it was a big joke until he tried to enter without properly identifying himself and found a rifle muzzle against his stomach."
Work continued at the lab and by June 1942 Fox and his colleagues had made four successful attempts using the ultracentrifuge. He added, "When I wrote my dissertation, it was promptly stamped secret. No one was allowed to read it except two members of the physics department, of whom one was my advisor. So I never stood a defense of the dissertation. It was finally declassified in September 1969."
After earning his Ph.D., Fox went to Pittsburgh for a post-doctoral position at Westinghouse Electric Corporation Research and Development Labs, to continue working on the uranium isotope separation in support of the Manhattan Project. There he entered the mass spectrometer group. The centrifugal process for separating isotopes involved spinning uranium hexafluoride, a highly reactive gas, at about 500 revolutions per second. Mass spectrometry was used to detect leaks from the centrifuge.
According to Stephane Groueff's work Manhattan Project: The Untold Story of the Making of the Atomic Bomb, Brigadier General Leslie Groves, who oversaw the Manhattan Project, visited the Westinghouse facility in the fall of 1942, a few months after Fox had arrived. Groves assessed the progress Westinghouse had made in developing a fully operational centrifuge for isotope separation and decided the other programs working toward the same goal were more feasible. Federal support of the program ended a short time later. Despite Groves's decision to abandon the Westinghouse project, the centrifuge Fox and his colleagues developed has become the uranium enriching process of choice for many developing nations, such as Iran and North Korea.
Though this project was halted, Dr. Fox was assigned to work at Columbia University to continue working on the mass spectrometer as a leak detector for the Manhattan Project facility being built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. A year later, his war-related work continued in the mass spectrometer group at a facility making neoprene, which U.S. scientists had developed as an alternative to rubber after the Japanese shut off the rubber supply from Southeast Asia.
The development of atomic weapons continued at various sites around the country until the first successful detonation on July 17, 1945, in Alamogordo, New Mexico (see photo on page 2). Less than a month later, Little Boy and Fat Man would detonate over Japan.
Dr. Fox issued a warning to the Rotary Club some 20 years ago that is still appropriate. He said, "Since then the Fat Man has grown into a giant whose shadows stretch over the entire world. It will depend upon rational men and women working together to keep this giant from destroying us all."
Dr. Fox stayed at Westinghouse his entire career, serving as director of Atomic and Molecular Sciences Research and Development in the early 1970s and research and development director for Industry Products Company from 1974 until his retirement in 1982.
He said Dr. Thomas E. Gilmer '23 had the greatest impact on his life, second only to his father. Dr. Fox and his first wife endowed the Thomas E. Gilmer '23 Scholarship to honor him.
Dr. Douglas Venable '42
The extent to which Dr. Douglas Venable '42 worked on operations related to the Manhattan Project is uncertain. Although he spent nearly his entire career at Los Alamos National Laboratory, he did not go there until 1950, well after the Manhattan Project had been dismantled. We know, however, that Venable, who was raised in Charleston, West Virginia, earned his Ph.D. in physics at the University of Virginia. During his time there, from 1942 to 1950, it is likely that Venable worked under Dr. Jesse Beams on Manhattan Project-related experiments, as his fellow Hampden-Sydney alumnus Russ Fox had done some four years earlier.
What is well established is the tremendous influence Dr. Venable had on weapons programs during the rest of his career, which spanned more than 30 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico. Even without considering the work he did at LANL, Venable must have been highly regarded. He was a standout student at Hampden-Sydney and entered one of the most esteemed graduate programs of his day. His work at UVa and the Naval Research Laboratory was significant enough that he made his way to Los Alamos, which still attracted leading physicists as LANL reoriented its mission after the war.
Bill Deal was a colleague of Dr. Venable at Los Alamos. He says, "When we came to the lab, there were only about 2,000 physicists. After Oppenheimer left, Bradbury took over as leader. After the war, many notable scientists left because they thought there was no longer a need for the program. Bradbury decided there was a need: that we needed to stay ahead of the Russians and the other Communists technologically throughout the Cold War, though we didn't know it as the Cold War at the time. Bradbury began rebuilding the staff, bringing in the brightest minds. Doug was one of them."
Another friend of Venable's from Los Alamos, Bill Stratton, says, "Los Alamos was a great place to work. You had a lot of freedom to pursue new ideas as long as they didn't interfere with your overall work. A good analogy is Bell Telephone. At the time, their labs were the best in the world. Staff there could work on anything they wanted as long as it was related to communications. In the same sense, at Los Alamos National Laboratory, we could work on anything concerned with nuclear energy. Venable was one of these people who came up with an idea and proceeded to work on it. His idea for taking flash x-rays of metal in high explosives was revolutionary. This was his idea and he was allowed to pursue it."
Life at Los Alamos, the isolated research facility about 35 miles from Santa Fe, was certainly different from that in most communities of the 1950s. Stratton says, "Los Alamos was a closed city until the mid 1950s. You had to have Q clearance to get into the labs. I remember at the end of the day, we'd pile up our papers and put them all in the safe. Some of the security seemed like a nuisance, but it was better than it is now." Deal adds, "Most of us went there right after finishing our Ph.D. in physics. It was like Mecca … or Heaven. Whichever you prefer."
The security, the high percentage of well-educated residents, and the youth of the residents had some advantages. Stratton says, "We were all pretty young, so the social life was good. It was a good place to live, a good place to raise children. My children could walk six blocks in one direction to school and a few blocks in another direction to get to the store to buy ice cream. It was very safe." He admits that not everyone enjoyed the seclusion; some missed the amenities of bigger cities and left.
Venable and his family, though, stayed. His work was groundbreaking: he sought to expand the diagnosis of explosive events involving high-density materials, such as metals. Venable conceived a pulsed electron-beam accelerator to generate x-rays. He also devised a way for both the x-ray source and the film container to survive the adjacent detonation of several tens of pounds of high explosives. Thus was developed PHERMEX [Pulsed High Energy Radiation Machine Emitting X-rays].
In 1960, he joined GMX-11 at LANL and further improved PHERMEX. He became leader of the group, before again being promoted in 1972 to deputy division leader of the newly created Dynamic Testing Division. Four years later, he joined the Office of National Security Programs, where he served on the Weapons Planning Committee. In 1981, Dr. Venable was named deputy associate director for Weapons Research and Development. The Father of PHERMEX, as he came to be known, retired from LANL in 1986 but continued until 2004 as a valued laboratory associate with several organizations of the lab.
Doug Venable is roundly considered by his friends and colleagues as "bright," "cheerful," and "innovative." After his death in January 2005, his colleague Denny Erickson said, "I counted Doug as a special friend and mentor. We became close when I was the [former] M-Division deputy division leader. In the mid-to-late 1980s, Doug taught me (as a younger physicist) much about weapons-related research and applied hydrodynamics. I valued Doug for his wisdom and encouragement. Doug kept track of me over the years and always exercised positive reinforcement. I cherish my many times with Doug. Along with many others, I will truly miss him."
Dr. Venable and his wife Mary set up a series of annuities, which will add to the endowment of the College.
Dr. Samuel S. Jones '43
When Samuel S. Jones '43 left his Buckingham County home for college in the late summer of 1939 he set off with the intention of working hard and doing well academically; he had no idea that four years later he would begin working at a secret government facility using highly radioactive materials and build a trigger for the world's first atomic bomb.
As a student, Jones was undoubtedly smart and probably downright brilliant. He graduated at the top of his class from both high school and Hampden-Sydney, where he was a member of the William H. Whiting Scholarship Society and Chi Beta Phi. Of Hampden-Sydney, he says, "In 1939, it was much like a seminary. It was so extremely different from what it is now. After we studied each night, my roommates and I read the Bible, said a prayer, and went to bed."
"I had no pretentious plans about what to do after I graduated," says Dr. Jones of his career in the sciences. "My physical chemistry professor, William Frierson, who was clerk of the faculty, got me into Cornell in 1943. Of course this was during the war. These were difficult days, and this was the only way I could continue my education. The faculty at Cornell were heavily involved in the Manhattan Project. Some professors were even at Los Alamos. At Cornell, they told me I had to go into the Army; I could go in either as an ordinary soldier or join a secret project. I didn't even know what it was."
Rather than risk being sent to the front lines, Jones decided to join what he would later learn was the Manhattan Project, the United State's effort to produce an atomic bomb. He and many other scientists set up shop in Dayton, Ohio, at the vacant Bonebrake Theological Seminary, where they immediately began working on a trigger mechanism for the weapon. Surrounded by a barbed wire fence and armed guards, Jones and his colleagues toiled away without knowing about the other Manhattan Project facilities.
"Except for headquarters at Los Alamos, each Manhattan Project facility was kept secret from the others. Our mission was to produce large amounts of polonium that would interact with the explosive agents of the bomb to greatly increase the power of the weapon by providing large amounts of neutrons at the instant of explosion. This trigger action is achieved by the alpha-n reaction of polonium with beryllium. At the time, we didn't know how dangerous polonium really is. It is radioactive and emits alpha particles with a half-life of 138 days. It is not considered harmful for external use, since alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper. However, when ingested in the body, it can be fatal in extremely small amounts. So, it has to be handled with great care."
After a year at the seminary, Jones' team was moved into luxurious accommodations in the Dayton suburb of Oakwood. According to The Atomic Heritage Foundation, the hundreds of scientists took over Runnymede Playhouse, part of the family estate owned by the in-laws of the Dayton team leader, Charles Thomas. "The Playhouse had been the leisure palace of the Talbott family, with a giant ballroom, indoor squash and tennis courts, as well as a stage for community theater." Despite promises by Thomas to return the building to the family after the war, it was deemed too radioactive to clean; it was dismantled and buried in Tennessee.
Like most Americans at the time, Jones had no idea there were other research facilities around the country working to create the first atomic bomb. In Richland, Washington, at the Hanford site, reactors were constructed to produce plutonium-239. At Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the goal was to produce enriched uranium-235. Los Alamos, New Mexico, was the heart of the operation and home to overall weapons research and design. Before the scientists in Dayton produced and harnessed polonium, it existed only in theory. Though the members of the Dayton polonium team received certificates of appreciation from the Secretary of War under President Harry Truman, the work Jones and his colleagues did in support of the Manhattan Project has gone largely undocumented.
"Once I realized what we were doing and why we were doing it, when the secrecy had been intentionally made open, I felt that we did a good job and saved the tremendous cost of having to invade Japan."
After the war, Jones was given the choice of reenlisting and continuing his work or going back to graduate school. He decided to return to Cornell, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1950. Dr. Jones worked at General Electric during the 1950s and early '60s, designing nuclear power systems for submarines and, later, for land-based plants and space vehicles. In 1963, he moved to Richland, Washington, where his work concentrated on the development of mechanisms for gas-graphite reactions and radiation effects on the properties of nuclear graphites.
From 1970 to 1981, Dr. Jones was senior staff research scientist at Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp. working on electrode technology. He closed out his career working as an industrial carbon consultant from 1983 to 1996.
In 1984, Dr. Jones endowed the Samuel S. Jones Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship in the Natural Sciences. He also has endowed the Samuel S. Jones Phi Beta Kappa Award for Intellectual Excellence to recognize outstanding student research.
"Every day, I tried to do the very best that I could," says Dr. Jones. "Over the course of my life I have thought quite a lot what it is all about. I have examined the nature of physical reality. When I look at what life is all about I see so many people who—like a computer—have been programmed to look at life only one way. They fail to have a level of openness. I have been someone who has looked critically at life and who continues to ask, 'How did we come to be the way we are'?"
Now living at a retirement home in Tucson, Arizona, Dr. Jones enjoys giving lectures to local residents about everything from poetry to how computers work. Sharp as ever, he has been working with Dr. Sarah Hardy in the English department to capture and organize his thoughts on science, faith, and life. The investigative life he has led continues—and will continue—as it enters its final stage. Dr. Jones says, "I already have my burial plans arranged. After my name and the dates of my life, there will be only one word on my tombstone: Truth."
HAMPDEN-SYDNEY STILL produces outstanding scientists, and our connection to Los Alamos National Laboratory continues. Dr. Jon R. Schoonover '81 joined LANL in 1993 as a technical staff member in the Chemical Science and Technology Division. He joined MST-7 (Polymers and Coatings Group) in 1999 to work on optical spectroscopy studies of polymeric materials. He is now deputy group leader of MST-7.
Thanks in great part to Dr. Schoonover, a steady stream of Hampden-Sydney students have been working at LANL in recent years. Dr. Anderson L. Marsh '98, who is now a chemistry professor at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania, was the first Hampden-Sydney student to work with Dr. Schoonover. More recently, Jonathan D. Cox '05 worked for Dr. Schoonover in the summer of 2004 and for the 2005-06 academic year as a post-baccalaureate researcher using vibrational spectroscopy to study polymer foam. He is now a doctoral student at The George Washington University.
James C. Miller '05 works at LANL as he completes his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M. This is his fifth summer at the lab, where he works on new methods for testing for uranium in urine as a counter-terrorism measure. He hopes to continue working there full-time after his 15-month graduate research fellowship ends.
John Campbell '09 worked at the lab for three consecutive summers. Campbell worked with Dr. Schoonover in the summer of 2007, investigating a potential source of hydrogen gas that is environmentally friendly. During the next two summers, Campbell worked with another LANL scientist, Dr. Brian Patteson, designing and programming the graphical user interface used to process data from X-ray imaging instruments. He is now a graduate student at Washington University in St. Louis.
Robert H. Hembree II '09 worked at LANL in the summer of 2008. He is now in graduate school at the University of Florida.
For more than 70 years, Hampden-Sydney graduates have been involved in cutting-edge science. This small, rural College for men uses high levels of faculty-student interaction, challenging curriculum, and student research opportunities to produce outstanding graduates, particularly in science. The legacy established by Dr. Thomas E. Gilmer, Jr. '23 and his students of the first half of the last century continues today through the dedicated faculty in the building that bears his name.

I unplugged my MAF sensor a few days ago and the engine is running fine. BUT,,, On my way to work I felt and heard a loud BANG! twice on seperate ocasions while driving like 40 MPH or coasting from that speed. Really scary stuff. The thransmission also shifts hard into drive. Sometimes reverse.
Why is this happening?
I hate electronics when I don't understand what is happening or if I don't have the proper equipment.
The bang was so hard it feels like someone rearended me or like a loose cardan axle

Senate votes to delay implications of Common Core
BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana Senate has agreed to delay the consequences of using the Common Core education standards until the 2016-17 school year.
That's one year longer than the policy adopted by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
The Senate voted 29-8 Wednesday for the proposal by New Orleans Rep. Walt Leger, a Democrat. The vote moved the bill one step from final passage. It must return to the House for consideration of Senate changes.
Supporters say the state should provide another year to make sure teachers and students adjust to the tougher standards before their achievement is graded and used to affect teacher evaluations and school takeovers.
Opponents say the bill would tie Louisiana to Common Core and its associated testing.

Avoid The Information Security Squirrel
Posted by Rick Holland on April 17, 2013

"My master made me this collar. He is a good and smart master and he made me this collar so that I may speak. Squirrel!"
In the Pixar film Up, squirrels frequently distract Dug the talking dog. In our space, we are frequently distracted by technology. "I am a good and smart security professional; I must protect my enterprise so that we are secure. APT defense in a box!"
The expo floors at industry events such as the RSA Conference and Blackhat contribute to this. Signage touts the next great piece of technology that will solve all of our security problems. We allow Big Data, security analytics, threat intelligence, and APT defense in a box to distract us. It is easy to do; there is no shortage of challenges for today's security and risk professional. The threat landscape is overwhelming. We have problems recruiting and retaining the right staff. Day-to-day operational duties take up too much time. Our environments are complex, and we struggle to get the appropriate budget.
These "security technology du jour" solutions are very appetizing. They compel us much like IDS, IPS, and SIM did in the past. We want and need the "easy" button. Sadly, there is no "easy" button and we must understand that threat protection doesn't equal a product or service; there is no single solution. Technology alone isn't the answer we are looking for.
In my latest research, "Seven Habits Of Highly Effective Incident Response Teams," I discuss how successful Incident Response teams avoid infosec squirrels, and don't focus exclusively on technology. The foundation of successful Incident Response is effective staff that are augmented with technology and enabled by process and oversight. Possessing the latest technology without staff that is able to properly leverage it is like owning a sports car with an empty tank of gas that you have no clue how to drive. Understanding technology benefits and limitations is one habit of effective Incident Response teams. Here is a preview of the other six steps I discuss in the research:
Please let me know what you think and feel free to leave comments.
Comment from Geoff Webb (not verified) on Thu, 04/18/2013 - 09:47
Good post, Rick.
As a vendor of security technology I absolutely agree - the temptation to slap on a "Best Thing Since Sliced Bread" sticker to every security tool is considerable. In the end, what works best is to try to put technology and process in perspective - and avoid the hype. Security buyers are usually highly informed and deeply skeptical of vendor claims. (As they should be.)
I see it happen - vendors claiming that any tool is the silver bullet to eliminate threats - and in the end it reflects badly on everyone - eroding trust and making it hard to cut through the noise.
As an industry we sometimes just need to stop, take a deep breath, and absolutely stop chasing after whatever new squirrel catches our eye.
Agree, take a breath. Also
Comment from Rick Holland on Thu, 04/18/2013 - 09:52
Agree, take a breath. Also look at your existing portfolio and see what you aren't using. I suspect most orgs use <50% of the capabilities they already own.
Good point on the not using existing tech

We are pretty certain that Tom Roberts needs no introduction to CACG members. A one-time editor and long-time writer at the National Catholic Reporter, Tom's book The Emerging Catholic Church: A Community's Search for Itself has received wide critical acclaim. Recently, Tom and his wife Sal joined a one-day fast in solidarity with the Fast for Families on the National Mall. For this week's Common Good Forum, we asked Tom to reflect on his reasons for joining the fast.
All four of my grandparents arrived from the East Coast of Italy, from a space along the Adriatic Coast that ran from Ortona to Tollo. One was primarily a peasant, farm family; the other was a more entrepreneurial city family.
I know the details only of the decision of my grandfather on my father's side. He had done, as I heard it over the years, at least two stints in the Italian Army and was not going to do a third. As he told it in very broken English: "I go to my momma one day and say, 'I going to 'Merica,' and inna' two days, I'ma gone."
He probably went to Naples and boarded a ship that eventually deposited him in Boston. Somewhere in that mix he met a fellow traveler from the same region of Italy. He would forever be known as Uncle Joe to us. My grandfather eventually caught a glimpse of a photo of his friend's sister, wrote to her, sent her passage. She arrived and within 72 hours they were married. They had nine kids. It was in citizenship court around 1903 that the name switched from Rabottini. As the story goes, the person doing the paper work heard the "Rab" as "Rob" and said, "You're Roberts." That's the story I heard from childhood.
There's lots more to the story, especially on my mother's side. Her name was Palladino and remained unchanged. She was one of eight. These two large Italian Catholic families were the universe through which I floated almost exclusively for the first 15 or 16 years of my life.
I recall that personal history because I am a single generation away from that immigrant experience and what I've taken from all the stories is the sheer will my grandparents had just to get here. It is the history I recalled when I decided, with my wife Sally (as Irish in origins as I am Italian but with a much longer history on U.S. soil) to join the Fast for Families for one day in early December. I don't usually don't go in for fasting. I don't have that kind of discipline. But this one gave me an opportunity to join in solidarity, however briefly, with brothers and sisters who face the hardship of leaving their homelands for opportunity, to provide for their families, to seek the same kind of changes that drove my own grandparents to emigrate. I spend a great deal of time in my work pondering what's wrong with the culture and its politics. This day provided an opportunity to sink deeply into what's right with it and why so many will go to such desperate ends to be here.
My relatives faced some bumps and minor discrimination early on, but they didn't have to live in the shadows. What they generated in the course of a century was somewhat remarkable, because among their legacy are an ongoing business, successful entrepreneurs, scores of teachers, several PhDs, gangs of college graduates, nurses, lawyers, a composer and conductor of some note, an environmental scientist, political activists, computer wizards, craftsmen, artists and artisans of all sorts. The leap of hope and faith taken by four obscure Italians that unbound the ties to place and old cultural expectations unloosed upon this new land a significant ongoing contribution to church and state.
We are best as a country when we are generous. That day of fasting came to a close with a prayer service at our parish, St. Camillus in Silver Spring, a place of dizzying diversity where, I am told, more than a hundred countries are represented in the congregation. For many people here, immigration reform is more than an intellectual exercise. It is the only hope for reuniting with loved ones, husbands and wives, siblings with each other, children with parents.
Kept in the shadows, their contributions will be confined to the minimal, their development constricted, the relationship demeaning for both sides. We will take what they can safely offer and otherwise keep them marginalized. Laws and borders are still essential, but we have to begin to ask, in certain circumstances, if the cost to maintain the boundaries, in terms of treasure and national soul, is worth whatever security might be gained. Pope Francis has articulated a different calculus, particularly for those of us in privileged circumstances.
As I looked over the diversity evident in the church that night, I could only imagine, somewhat selfishly, what good awaited us all if the assembled cultures and their gifts were allowed to flourish in full sunlight.

does anybody know what type of pedals they used to get their sound i know the dd6 they use but what esle do they use to make their sound. what is tom setting if anyone knows that too.
He uses a Vox AC30 and a hallow body guitar with extremely hot pickups. So basically a Vox AC30 or 15 and any guitar with a high-output humbucker in the bridge should do it. Pedal-wise it's mainly just digital delay, reverb, and occasionally some tremolo.

Why do other dogs attack my dog at the dog park?
i have a 8 month girl puggle. the other times i took her to the dog park, she played well with the other dogs. yesterday and today, the dogs kept attacking her. it was not playful. my dog jumped up because she was scared so i held her. what is the problem?

I don't think the problem is the dog. I think it is the dogs who are attacking her. That is a bad 101 at this park. No one should be having their dogs attack your doggie.
I hope you can find her a safer place to go.
Check out places that do dog training they sometimes offer romps for 2 hrs for a low fee. And they do not let dogs in that are biters. I go with one of my dogs and all the dogs get along and play. If any dog does act out they are banned.
I don't blame your puggle I would be scared too. Poor baby.
Also are all the dogs spayed and neutered, they pick up on that as well, and you can see changes like that with ovulation.
I would say go somewhere else, this could affect your dog for good.

Is she spayed??? If not, it sounds like she may be coming into heat. If this is the case she shouldn't be at the dog park anyway since it is not fair to other dogs. The only signs you may observe might be a slightly swollen vulva, however to the other dogs there would definitely be a smell. This can occur for several weeks before she actually comes into a visible heat when you will notice bleeding, etc.
If she is spayed it's possible that she may have a UTI or slight infection that is making her smell different to the other dogs. May certainly be worth a vet visit.

Another possibility is if she is very excited and in their opinion a "rude little puppy".
Dogs are well aware of age and many other things we don't think they can tell from a few sniffs. Once her status is assessed she needs to keep her place or expect some correction from older dogs.
Dogs that get over excited and RUN, get zoomies....tend to set off the "pack" in a bad way. They will run over such a dog to stop it.
To human standards she may have been "playing nice". But we can't apply human standards to dogs. Behavior you see as harmless or cute, other dogs may find very bad manners or "unbalanced" behavior.
Pepper answered on 7/11/10. Helpful? / 0
You've gotten some excellent answers already.
The only thing I'd add is that in situations like this, the instinct to pick up a dog when they are scared (while totally, utterly understandable) should be avoided.
The reason is that while we humans see this gesture as calming or comforting, it only reinforces the dog's fear of the situation. And the very last thing you want to do is reinforce fear in a dog, particularly a puppy. Because this will undermine her socialization.
She'll take it as a reinforcement that her fear is founded (which, in a way it certainly is) and she'll be a lot more fearful as a result. Whereas if you calmly lead her away from the drama or put her on leash and simply walk away talking calmly to her to reassure her, it would be much more ideal.
Now of course, the exception to this is if your dog is truly being attacked and is in danger of being bitten or savaged. Then, you gotta do what you gotta do to get her out of that situation.

Travel Picks: Top 10 getaways without the kids
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Now the kids have been back at school for a bit, you might feel you could use a little break from the domestic world with your partner, as long as the grandparents don't mind watching over the children while you jet off for a short holiday. In the spirit of parental sanity, online travel adviser Cheapflights (www.cheapflights.com) offers its top 10 list of destinations for you to grab a cocktail, kick back, relax without the little rascals. Reuters has not endorsed this list:
1. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Thanks to Vegas, we know there is plenty of fun to be had in the desert, but nothing comes close to Dubai; the adult playground set in the piping hot deserts of the United Arab Emirates. From the world's largest man-made islands to the entrancing gold markets and underwater hotels, everything in Dubai is bigger, better and more luxurious. Feel free to spend some time being overwhelmed by shopping malls and markets known as souks, then tee off at world-renowned golf courses, stop at the only Formula 1 theme park and kick up some fun with a Jeep trip into the sand dunes.
2. Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
In 1995, the old town of Lunenburg on Canada's east coast was deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its survival as a British colonial settlement. This quaint coastal village off Mahone Bay is the perfect place to book a bed-and-breakfast or small cottage and explore the history, do a little kayaking or simply unwind. Let Lunenburg's small-town charm and the tranquil seaside views win you over. When looking for things to do, visit Bluenose, the world-famous wooden racing schooner, check out the Fisheries Museum and learn about the salty men who navigated the Atlantic, then head over to the Ironworks Distillery for artisan spirit tastings.
3. St. Lucia, Antilles
Just getting away isn't always enough - sometimes it takes a tropical island in the middle of the ocean for us to feel completely free of our duties and responsibilities. Home to the grand Piton mountains, the world's only drive-in volcano and warm crystal blue waters, St. Lucia is an ideal Caribbean getaway for any relaxation-seeking couple. For a quick and rewarding hike, check out the Saltibus Waterfall Trail, which leads you through mountaintop rainforests to several picturesque waterfalls, perfect for cooling off. If you're not interested in leaving the beach, take advantage of renowned scuba and snorkeling, or hop aboard a sailboat and cruise around the island.
4. Napa Valley, California
Even though early autumn is Napa Valley's most popular season for visitors, we still think it's the best time to take part in the grape harvesting festivities known as Crush. It's one of the Valley's most exciting times and vineyards all over hold special events and celebrations. Napa boasts more than 200 vineyards, world-renowned spas and a dense population of Michelin-rated restaurants, so there are plenty of opportunities for you and your significant other to spoil yourselves. The scenery alone is worth the trip, and we recommend viewing it from a hot air balloon or the Napa Valley Wine Train, which stops at several vineyards. Continued...

Chelsea's stunning Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona last night came at a heavy price as four players earned yellow or red cards that will rule them out of next month's final against either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.
Here is a run-down of those who will be missing and what impact it might have on Roberto Di Matteo's side.
John Terry
The captain's needless first-half red card for clashing with Alexis Sanchez will deny him the chance of redemption for his penalty shoot-out miss in Moscow four years ago, a mis-kick which cost Chelsea their first chance at Champions League glory.
But putting his personal disappointment aside, the loss of their defensive leader will surely leave a hole at the back that Chelsea - given their other absentees - will struggle to fill.
Branislav Ivanovic
The Serb defender, who played most of last night's match as Chelsea's only regular centre-half, talked himself into a suspension when he was booked for dissent for arguing over the award of a penalty for Didier Drogba's foul on Cesc Fabregas.
Lionel Messi missed the spot-kick, but the punishment will still be felt by Ivanovic, who did not seem to realise the implications of the booking until he was told during a television interview after the match - watch his reaction here.
With Gary Cahill hobbling off last night with a muscular injury and Chelsea anxiously awaiting the results of tests, the loss of Ivanovic and Terry means Chelsea could need the injured David Luiz to shake off his own hamstring problem if they are not to go into the final without a single experienced central defender.
The Brazilian midfielder found himself playing much of last night's match at right-back in Chelsea's reshuffled backline.
However, he still managed to get forward to score the dramatic 49th minute goal that would have been enough to send Chelsea through before Fernando Torres' late strike made sure.
His audacious chip over Victor Valdes came after he was booked for dissent late in the first half, meaning he already knew he would not be part of the final he was helping Chelsea to reach.
Raul Meireles
The Portuguese midfielder will pay a heavy price for the 90th minute booking he received for a late sliding tackle on Javier Mascherano.
But the price Chelsea might pay remains to be seen as his absence alongside Ramires will rob Di Matteo of two of his more versatile midfield options.
Florent Malouda, Michael Essien and Salomon Kalou are the players that might stand to benefit, but all have suffered from either injuries or indifferent form and they are likely to leave Chelsea weaker in the middle of the park.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today is reporting that the Mets have signed LaTroy Hawkins to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.
Hawkins is a 40 y/o right handed reliever who has compiled 88 saves over his 18 year career. Last year with the Angels he appeared in 48 games with a 3.64 ERA/1.38 WHIP and earned one save. He held left handed batters to a .214 BA and a .310 slg. pct. In the first half of the season he appeared in 23 games and posted a 1.35 ERA but in the second half appearing in 25 games he posted a 5.73 ERA.
Last night Alderson said the bullpen would be a strength and there have been reports that the Mets were looking for a reliever with closing experience. While I like bringing in Hawkins on a minor league I'm hoping he's not the set-up man they're bringing in, in case Francisco struggles.

Corner bench
I've been wanting one of the corner benches that go in the dining room I've seen them at Kmart and such but I hate the pressed wood and it's not big enough I have 5 step children and trying to seat everyone is nearly impossible....(Sorry for the tangent) I've been looking for designs to build one but having trouble any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated
matching the design details of your home usually helps when building on site, the bench needs to fit into the space. 3/4" plywood can build the box and the trim around the box would be what matches the details of your home. It can be built to allow the top to open with storage space in it as well...

RT @katierogers: No. Next question. // Is social media destroying good journalism?
Blogger Lauren Arthur says the mood was ominous about the future of journalism as we know it during an event at the London School of Journalism "Many of us have failed to register that the rise of social networks and other online news sources will inevitably lead to a dramatic decline in print publications."
I don't believe that Arthur presented convincing evidence that newspapers are doomed, but she did pose an interesting question: "Should we be lamenting the decline of print any more than we did the decline of vinyl, or the VCR? Hopefully not, if all we're lamenting is the loss of print itself, rather than the quality journalism it's associated with."

If you are a Google Reader user & haven't heard yet - its closing SOON!!!!!!!
Yes it is!
But wait, there's good news & I have a great idea where you can go to take care of all your fave blogs so you can keep up to date & not lose them forever!

I'm not a daily blog reader myself, but I LOVE checking in here & there & be able to plug in when I might have some free minutes & want to catch up on the weekly juice from around the world. And the best program I've found to do this & manages things perfectly for me, is Bloglovin. It tells when there are new posts, gives a snippet as to what the post is about & tells me what is unread so I'm not flipping about the place.
Yep, Bloglovin!
Go check it out now HERE! And best thing is you can import all your favourite blogs straight from Google Reader too. And you can even follow me if you want! Just search for katemason dot blogs dot com! Bonus! hehe

July 22, 2011
By Megan Spedden, Media Relations Graduate Assistant
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee sophomore golfer Kaitlyn Rohrback (Crofton, Md.) won the 90th annual Maryland Women's Amateur Championship at the Lake Presidential Golf Club in Upper Marlboro, Md. Thursday. It was her second-consecutive Maryland Women's Amateur title, becoming the first to win back-to-back titles since Jessica Lewis staged the repeat in 2002-03.
In the finals Rohrback defeated qualifying medalist Elyse Smidinger, also of Crofton, Md., 2 and 1.
Rohrback wasted no time getting up in the final match with a birdie at the first hole and eagle on the third. The other seven holes on the front nine were halved. Smidinger worked back to square early on the back nine, winning the 10th and 11th holes. Rohrback took the lead again at 13, but Smidinger evened it again at 14 before conceding the 15th hole. Rohrback clinched the title with a 12-foot putt for birdie on 17.
As a freshman Rohrback recorded a 76.04 scoring average in 28 rounds for the Lady Vols.

I had to set some friends straight yesterday on recent Ga gun legislations. The state legislature changed the carry laws and left it up to property owners to decide wether to allow carry into bars,churches and college campuses. My buddy's apparently are under the impression that suddenly shootings are going to sky-rocket because people can carry into these areas. I pointed out to them that what the new law ACTUALLY does is get the government out of our business and leaves it up to the people who OWN the property whether to allow firearms into their places.

The laws have not changed yet, only passed the GA Senate by a veto proof majority. They still have to go to the House where they can be changed, amended and voted on.
The section added for Bars and Churches in it's current form would not mean the church has to request you leave if found carrying and they don't want you to (as with private businesses), it means you have to be granted permission to carry before you enter.
Why is it that the fear that Libs have of some law abiding citizen actively carrying with a license to do so, is so much more of a threat than the hoodlums that just want to break the law and kill indiscriminately? Just doesn't make sense.

I am getting all my ducks in a row to start my shop. I will be a 30 x 40 metal bulding with a 40 x 40 foundation. the foundation is what I have question about. It was to be 4" thick with #3 re bar 16 on center with perimeter beam with #5 re bar in the beams then 2 interior beams with #5 re bar also.
I just got back from the engineer who told me that the foundation is minimum for this bulding. This is what the builder said would be plenty. The engineer said I need to have Post-Tensioning foundation in stead of re bar.
Is this over kill or right on? Cost is an issue but should not be the only issue.
You may ask your self well how did I get here

Who says there are no good samaritans in the world — Republicans are planning on fleeing America because our Socialist, Maoist, Marxist, Commie President was reelected. We'll take two routes, one in which Jeff Brucculeri, a Tulsa, OK traffic reporter, tries to help out disgruntled Republicans with travel directions.
Wasn't that nice? Some are planning on moving to Australia.
Again, Australia's "President" is a Prime Minister. "He" is actually a she. And lastly, she is an atheist, but I still want to help so here are some directions.
First, go to the airport. Ask for a ticket to Galcaio Airport. Australia is now pronounced: 'Soh-mah-lee-a'. It's a modern thing you hipster GOPers aren't privy to. When you see beaches from the window, relax. You're almost there.
And now, for some reading material for your trip!

1. Krissi-Maybe you should do what you preach and "shut up and just cook", because I'm pretty sure that your voice is the one everyone's tired of hearing. You should also consider talking a "walk through the forest" yourself...you want to be there for your son? How about prolonging your life with a healthier lifestyle...this includes not getting happy just when the judges like your dish.4 years ago

In the last year, our platform has matured - part through the development of multiple features - part through the ever growing number of content creators that have signed agreements with our company.
We now have dozens of such agreements with companies - both small and large - from multiple continents. We feel that our search technology is thus sufficient to allow you, our users, to discover, purchase, enjoy the content you like.
With this in mind, one part of our system was becoming redundant. This is the user posted links feature, which we have chosen to disable. We thank you for all your contributions and we hope you will continue to edit/add information and metadata as well as discuss your favorites in our fan forums.

Stewart's single in the 10th gives Whitecaps win in season opener
COMSTOCK PARK – Jake Stewart had a pretty good debut in professional baseball Thursday night.
The ninth-round pick of the Detroit Tigers in the 2012 draft was 3-for-3 with two RBIs, including the game-winning single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lead the West Michigan Whitecaps to a 7-6 win over the Dayton Dragons in the Midwest League season opener.
It was the first win for manager Larry Parrish as head honcho of the Whitecaps.
"Offensively I thought we swung the bat well, we battled well, and I was very pleased with that," Parrish said.
The game was forced into extra innings when the Dragons scored three times in the eighth inning, including two runs on a throwing error.
"Errors like that, they're going to happen," Parrish said. "They're human. Asx long as they're in the right spot and trying to do the right thing, those kind of things just happen."
After the score was tied, the Whitecaps had a chance to break the tie in bottom of the eighth, having runners at second and third. But Mario Martinez struck out to end the threat.
It wasn't until the 10th when Adolpho Reina and Lance Durham had back-to-back singles that Stewart got his game-winner.
"I was just looking for something up in the zone to drive, get something through the middle of the infield to score the run" Stewart said. "It was a good feeling."
West Michigan scored three times in the third inning on a sacrifice fly by Austin Schotts, a triple from Devon Travis and a single from Danry Vasquez.
Dayton got those two back when pitchers Endrys Briceno and Jose Felix walked back-to-back batters with the bases loaded.
"We pitched great when we threw strikes," Parrish said. "Unfortunately we gave up too many walks. Each time they (Dayton) scored, it started with a walk."
Josh Turley, the fifth pitcher used by Parrish, got the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Stewart gave credit to Turley for holding the Whitecaps in the game.
"He (Turley) pitched the last couple of innings, kept us in the game and kept battling," Stewart said. "He really shut them down in the end."
Sean Lucas took the loss for Dayton.
Travis and Durham had two hits each for West Michigan, while Robert Ramirez was the only Dragon with two hits.
Using so many pitchers will make it hard on both teams going into today's 11 a.m. game, noted Parrish.
"We used a lot of guys," Parrish said.
Today's game will be the second of a four-game series against the Dragons that goes through Sunday.
