The "pack vs. rack" poll made me think of this. There's a more direct bike friendly route to work but I typically avoid it. Why? One reason that there are too many cyclists on it and it slows me down. I was thinking of taking it anyway to get a better sample for the poll, but I ended up not doing it because I was in a hurry.
On the one hand I'd be very pleased and proud if our city were to pull off such a major cultural shift. On the other hand, I might just hate commuting by bike in places like Amsterdam where they crawl along at 8 to 15 mph. I love being able to open it up and feel like I've gotten a good workout. And yes, I like feeling like I'm not just another sheep doing whatever everybody else does.

Is it normal to have extreme pressure on your tailbone and pelvic bones when urinating?
I'm 29 weeks pregnant and I'm having tons of pressure on the pelvic bones and tailbone when I urinate. It's not there the rest of the time, just when I pee. Stopping the flow eases the pain (and it's deff in the bones, not like in my bladder or something that would be more like a UTI).

Speaker: Andreas Karatsolis, Assistant Professor of Information Design, Carnegie Mellon University – Qatar
Provide each student with a tablet pc – difficult to support
Wanted to move into a paperless campus
Used DyKnow
Andreas' background – Rhetoric and Communication
-situated learning
-information design
Albany College of Pharmacy:
Principles of Communication course
All networked sections – but the use of tablets in classroom was determined by each instructor
Can tablet PCs force a process of crafting a series of information design decisions?
Assignments – Eval, Proposal, Paper
Tablets and reading – how tablets could be used to improve how students read; help students know what texts do
Writing an abstract
5 necessary components – outline field, justify a piece of research
showed example of abstract – you can annotate it in class to show where 5 elements are, how they function
Students work less with content than mechanics of what an abstract is supposed to do.
Use DyKnow panels that are submitted.
Learning how to read texts in a more interactive way in class
Tablets and writing – help students on invention and revising
Peer Reviewing
Editing and Evaluation
Use tablets in class to break proposals down into component charts = structured thinking and strategizing.
Peer reviews aren't very useful unless you give them very specific instructions of what one should look for and do
Use stylus to make connections between text they are reading and rubric they are using to guide them through the review process.
Tablets => messier, but more productive review process. Students are more engaged.
Tablets and visuals
Help students understand the relationship between text and visuals ad produce rhetorically meaningful visuals
Analyzing images
Tablet PCs can allow for greater engagement with information design.
Curricular Design
Get buy-in from faculty
Start backwards at the outcome level
Map out content outcomes to specific sessions
Map out learning outcomes to specific assignments
Align outcomes to assignments and assessments

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – An Angelica Robinson, Ralph Godbee Jr. cheating affair scandal is being claimed by Robinson in Detroit today. Angelica Robinson (no photos yet released) claims she was Godbee's alleged mistress. She is a current female Detroit police officer who reports to Godbee, Detroit's Police Chief, claims her attorney. While a picture of an "Angelica Robinson" appears online from a 2008 case, Robinson's attorney has yet to confirm if his client is the same Angelica Robinson. In that case, Angelica Robinson, a Detroit police officer, sued the force in a discrimination lawsuit.
Godbee is now on suspension. After the cheating scandal allegations surfaced, Dave Bing, Detroit's mayor, put Godbee on suspension. Bing has yet to indicate if Godbee will be paid during the suspension period. But for now, officials confirm they are "pending a full and thorough investigation of this matter."
UPDATE: Angelica Robinson Pictures

Godbee is married with a daughter in college. Godbee is also a pastor at a Detroit church. He once told BlacDetroit how his faith improves his work ethic. "That is the only way I could hold this position. It keeps you grounded. My faith is how I'm able to see the things I see on a daily basis…and not completely lose it."
But David Robinson, attorney for Robinson, claims that Godbee engaged in inappropriate conduct for "many months". "She was trying to cut it off and he didn't like that," Robinson told the Detroit Free Press. "And apparently she was, she was very depressed apparently and the concern was whether or not she was going to take her own life and Godbee got wind of that and, I guess, tried to intervene." Godbee has yet to comment about the matter. UPDATE: New details of a second alleged mistress has come forward. Click HERE for the update.

St. Louis (KSDK)-- Missouri Department of Transportation crews have been working around the clock since the snow began to fall and they are making progress.
You can see pavement on all the interstates, including I-270.

Newschannel 5 reporter Ryan Dean says at least nine inches had fallen in O'Fallon, Missouri by 6:00 a.m. and eight inches of snow fell in St. Charles County by 5:00 a.m.
Viewers report more than 15 inches of snow in Jennings.
NewsChannel 5 Meteorologist Scott Connell said only a few inches of snow had fallen in south St. Louis.
A spokesperson for the City of St. Louis Streets Department said they hope to have the roads clear later this morning.
MoDOT wants drivers to avoid going out if possible. If you must go out, alter your travel time to cut down on the number of cars on the roads during the morning commute while plows are still trying to clear the roads.
Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Al Nothum said they have been busy responding to crashes and cars that slid off the road, but so far there have been no serious accidents. The patrol have received 230 calls overnight.
Sgt. Nothum said I-55 near Arnold and I-70 in St. Charles were two areas where they have received a large number of calls.
If you slide off the road call 911 or *55 to help. Do not get out of your car. Try to move it to the side of the road or off of it so it is not in traffic.
Bruce Pettus, MoDOT maintenance superintendent for the St. Louis area, said more than 450 employees and 220 trucks, including 13 tow plows, are tackling any weather-related road problems in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. The tow plows can cover more than two lanes with only one truck and driver.

I'm on the brink of pulling it off, a 10,000 mile calendar year on the bike. Currently, I have just under 800 miles to go after yesterday's commute, and for those of you who have seen my mileage posts in the 500 miles/month challenge, you'll know I'm set to pass that this month.
Its been great, its been hard, windy, hot, chilly, uphill, downhill, and everything in between. Somehow words can't describe how I feel about it at times. I just sit back and think "wow..." you know? Its a big number to contemplate on a bike. At times I feel like its watching someone else do this. Not sure if that makes any sense or not.
Anyway, just wanted to share. Clydes and Athenas aren't just big. We can do big things.
See you down the road,

California Employment Law Questions Answered by Legal Experts
Thank you so much, I feel much better. I have no problem talking to them and letting them know how I am doing, I would have done that regardless. It was the way in which they did it and the overall tone. My surgery went very well and I may be able to get back to work a little quicker than I thought so that is very good. I had a torn bicep tendon. As you can tell this experience was an eye opener for me and I can see the direction my company is going in and it is not good. I am taking the time now, while I heal, to figure out where I want my professional future to be. I have a lot of options. I know...more info than you need but you have relieved a worry that I had and I thank you very much.
Thanks for being here for people!! It is a great service you do.
Have a great day.

Hey kids, look, another supergroup! SCUM brings together a motley crew of extreme musicians, including Casey Chaos (AMEN), Samoth and Faust (EMPEROR), Cosmocrator (MINDGRINDER), and Happy Tom (TURBONEGRO). Nocturno Culto (DARKTHRONE), Mortiis, and Knut "Euroboy" Schreider (TURBONEGRO, EUROBOYS) contribute guest vocals. The result of this collaboration is "Gospels of the Sick", a metal-infused punk album that is equal parts DISCHARGE, SLAYER, and the SEX PISTOLS.Though generally effective as a mess of jagged riffs, nasty lyrical tirades, and reckless beats, I'm not always convinced that the venom is deadly. I wouldn't call any of it contrived though, as the unit can be quite lethal, as evidenced on the title track and songs like "Deathpunkscumfuck" and "Backstabbers Go to Heaven". Chaos' impression of a snotty British punk is sufficient, if sometimes a little forced and awkward. To be honest, I heard as much Marilyn Manson in his delivery as I did Johnny Rotten. Take that any way you'd like. SLAYER-esque riffs (most notably on "Protest Life") and bludgeoning rhythm parts join with crusty hardcore viciousness on a collection of songs that manages to retain its intensity throughout while mixing up the tempos nicely. The only real problem (and I hesitate to describe it as such) is that rather than coming off as a seamless blend of styles, "Gospels for the Sick" sometimes sounds like a band that is not sure of what it wants to be. The album is still a violent son of a bitch and a pretty good listen. But if you really want to hear a phenomenal disc by a purer crust punk DISCHARGE-esque militant "supergroup" check out a masterpiece of pain call "Retroactive Abortion" by VENOMOUS CONCEPT, featuring members of BRUTAL TRUTH, NAPALM DEATH, and the MELVINS. Now THAT is the real deal.

Effect of Coulomb interaction on nonlinear (intensity-dependent) optical processes and intrinsic bistability in a quantum well under the electric and magnetic fields109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3553641View Description Hide Description
The effect of the electrostatic Coulomb interaction on the line shape related to the intensity-dependent intersubband optical processes in a Si δ-doped quantum well is studied using the density matrix formalism. The electronic structure of the quantum well is calculated from the self-consistent numerical solution of the coupled Schrödinger–Poisson equations. The line shape function is considerably modified by the optical intensity and the electric and magnetic fields. Moreover, we demonstrate the existence of the optical bistability for appropriate values of the optical intensity and also the control of the optical bistability with the electric and magnetic fields. It is also found that the intersubband relaxation time plays an important role in determining the optical bistability region.
A two-dimensional analytical model for the gate–source and gate–drain capacitances of ion-implanted short-channel GaAs metal-semiconductor-field effect transistor under dark and illuminated conditions109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3549257View Description Hide Description
This paper presents an analytical model for the internal capacitances of short-channel ion-implanted GaAs MESFETs under dark and illuminated conditions. The device structure considered in this study is a normally-on self-aligned GaAs MESFET with indium tin oxide (ITO) as the Schottky metal for the gate electrode of the device. The gate area of the device is illuminated by an optical radiation of 0.87 from an external source which is coupled into the device through the semitransparent ITO metal at Schottky-gate to modulate the electrical and microwave characteristics of the device. The nonanalytic Gaussian doping profile commonly considered for the channel doping of an ion-implanted GaAs MESFET has been replaced by an analytic Gaussianlike function for the simplicity of the present model. The two-dimensional (2D) potential distribution obtained by solving the 2D Poisson's equation by including the effect of photo-generated carriers due to the incident optical radiation has been utilized to model the depletion region width below the gate of the short-channel GaAs MESFETs. The depletion width model has then been used to model the internal gate-source and gate-drain capacitances of the device operating under both the linear and saturation regions. The effect of illumination on the Schottky junction at the gate of the MESFET has been modeled by considering an induced photo-voltage developed across the junction that is superimposed on the applied gate bias voltage. The proposed model has been verified by comparing the theoretically predicted results with simulated data obtained by using the commercially available ATLASTM 2D device simulator.
Optimizing facet coating of quantum cascade lasers for low power consumption109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3553863View Description Hide Description
Typical high power consumption (∼10 W) of mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers(QCLs) has been a serious limitation for applications in battery powered systems. A partial high-reflection (PHR) coating technique is introduced for power downscaling with shorter cavity lengths. The PHR coating consists of a double layerdielectric of SiO2 and Ge. With this technique, a 4.6 μm QCL with an ultra low threshold power consumption of less than a watt (0.83 W) is demonstrated in room temperature continuous wave operation. At 25°C, the maximum output power and wall plug efficiency are 192 mW and 8.6%, respectively.
Thermally tunable and omnidirectional terahertz photonic bandgap in the one-dimensional photonic crystals containing semiconductor InSb109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3549834View Description Hide Description
Thermally tunable and omnidirectional terahertz (THz) photonic bandgaps in the one-dimensional photonic crystals composed of alternating layers of semiconductor material InSb and dielectric material SiO2 are studied theoretically. This photonic bandgap is strongly dependent on the lattice constants and the thickness ratio of the constituent InSb and SiO2 layers. It is found that the lower-order gap is invariant on the lattice constants, but the higher-order gaps are all sensitive to the lattice constants. Moreover, the band-edges of the higher-order gaps shift to lower frequency as the increasing thickness ratio. Additionally, the Gap II is also angle-independent, and the omnidirectional bandgap can occur in the terahertz range. Omnidirectional bandwidth for both polarizations is about 1.5 THz at 220 K. Most important of all, the omnidirectional bandgap can be tuned by controlling the external temperature, which results from the dependence of the semiconductorplasma frequency on the temperature. As the temperature increases, the upper and lower frequency limits of the Gap II shift to higher frequency and the bandwidth becomes narrow.
Reshaped Terahertz waveforms from a large-aperture photoconductive antenna with millimeter scale metal hole and grid combination109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3562170View Description Hide Description
Time-domain THz transmission of a metal wire grid is investigated experimentally. The transmission depends on the relative angle (θ) between the polarization of the THz wave and the direction of the wires. When the polarization is parallel to the wires (θ = 0°), the grid works as a high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency at 0.3 THz. Meanwhile, when the polarization is perpendicular to the wires (θ = 90°), the waveform of THz pulses is only slightly altered after passing through the grid. These results are reproduced accurately in computational simulations of the electromagnetic field. Simulation results indicate that strongly excited surface waves between two adjacent metal rods are responsible for the transmission peak at 0.81 THz, while surface waves slightly excited on the front surface of the grid are responsible for the low transmission at 0.3 THz. Transmission spectra of θ = 0° are interpreted qualitatively by applying the concept of effective surface plasmons.
Photopolymerizable glasses incorporating high refractive index species and ionic liquid: A comparative study109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3553840View Description Hide Description
Three different holographic photomaterials belonging to the class of photopolymerizableglasses have been synthesized using sol-gel techniques, and characterized with the purpose of a comparative study. Their behavior is analyzed in terms of achieved refractive index modulation, dark diffusion mechanism, diffraction efficiency and optical quality; in order to determine their suitability for different holographic applications.
Optical design of organic light emitting diodes109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3553837View Description Hide Description
Out-coupling of light from organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs) is a significant challenge for the application of OLEDs in solid state lighting. Most of the light is trapped in the stratified thin film structure and the glass substrate. In this study, an optical model is developed to simulate the optical electrical field for OLEDs with a stratified structure based on the dipole source term and transfer matrix approach. The exciton distribution is also considered in the proposed model. OLEDs with weak microcavity are selected to evaluate the model. Calculation of the electroluminescencespectrum, device efficiency as well as the angular dependence is shown to have a good agreement with the experimental data. Moreover, by using the weak microcavity design, an OLED of more than 70% improved efficiency is achieved.
The study of thermal silicon dioxide electrets formed by corona discharge and rapid-thermal annealing109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3559260View Description Hide Description
A silicon dioxide (SiO2) electret passivates the surface of crystalline silicon (Si) in two ways: (i) when annealed and hydrogenated, the SiO2–Si interface has a low density of interface states, offering few energy levels through which electrons and holes can recombine; and (ii) the electret's quasipermanent charge repels carriers of the same polarity, preventing most from reaching the SiO2–Si interface and thereby limiting interface recombination. In this work, we engineer a charged thermal SiO2electret on Si by depositing corona charge onto the surface of an oxide-coated Si wafer and subjecting the wafer to a rapid thermal anneal (RTA). We show that the surface-located corona charge is redistributed deeper into the oxide by the RTA. With 80 s of charging, and an RTA at 380 °C for 60 s, we measure an electretcharge density of 5 × 1012 cm–2, above which no further benefit to surface passivation is attained. The procedure leads to a surface recombination velocity of less than 20 cm/s on 1 Ω-cm n-type Si, which is commensurate with the best passivation schemes employed on high-efficiency Si solar cells. In this paper, we introduce the method of SiO2electret formation, analyze the relationship between charge density and interface recombination, and assess the redistribution of charge by the RTA.
Photoluminescence properties and energy transfer between Eu3+ and Nd3+ in polyborate BaGdB9O16: Eu3+, Nd3+109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3553844View Description Hide Description
The photoluminescence properties of BaGdB9O16: Eu3+, Nd3+ were investigated under ultraviolet excitation. For the samples BaGdB9O16: xEu3+, yNd3+, the emission spectra include the visible and near infrared region, which correspond to the emission spectra of Eu3+ and Nd3+. Moreover, based on the luminescence spectra and decay lifetimes of BaGdB9O16: 0.01Eu3+, xNd3+, the effective energy transfer was demonstrated from Eu3+ to Nd3+. The energy transfer efficiency was calculated with the measured decay lifetimes of Eu3+. The possible energy transfer mechanism was proposed to rationalize the experimental results.
Computations of the optical transitions and absorption spectra in a set of realistic, elongated InAs/GaAs quantum boxes having a Gaussian distribution109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3549151View Description Hide Description
InAs/GaAs quantum dots(QDs)grown by various methods do not have the same dimensions in the three axes. This paper reports on expressions for computations of the optical transitions and absorption spectra of InAs/GaAs QDs that have a square base and the variation of the height is Gaussian. The dots were considered to be elongated quantum boxes with square bases having finite potentials at the boundaries. The results are in excellent agreement with reported experimental data of photoluminescence and absorption. The expressions could be successfully applied to short quantum wires.
Electro-optic tunable optical isolator in periodically poled LiNbO3109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3549185View Description Hide Description
We proposed a design of a tunable optical isolator. The electro-optic (EO) effects in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) with a defect were studied. EO effects and second harmonic generation(SHG) allow three-wave coupling in this nonlinear optics process. A defect is inserted in an asymmetrical position in PPLN to break the reciprocity of the fundamental-wave transmission in two reversed propagating directions. We numerically demonstrated that the contrast of this optical isolator can be tuned from −1 to 1 by simply changing the external dcelectric field. With EO effects, the position of the defect can be designed more flexibly maintaining a high contrast of the optical isolation.
The effect of microcavity laser recombination lifetime on microwave bandwidth and eye-diagram signal integrity109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3553876View Description Hide Description
Vertical microcavity surface-emitting lasers employing quantum wells and small aperture buried-oxide current and field confinement are demonstrated with wider mode spacing and faster spontaneous carrier recombination (enhanced Purcell factor), lower threshold current, larger side mode suppression ratio (SMSR), and higher photon density and temperature insensitivity. The result is a microcavity laser that achieves higher microwave modulation bandwidth (f − 3dB = 15.8 GHz) at ultra-low power consumption (1.5 mW) with a slope for the modulation current efficiency factor (MCEF) = 17.47 GHz/mA−1/2, as well as a better quality eye diagram in high-speed data transmission. The microwave behavior model for the microcavity laser is used to estimate the enhanced recombination and reduced lifetime.
Time-resolved shadowgraphic study of femtosecond laser ablation of aluminum under different ambient air pressures109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3554442View Description Hide Description
Femtosecond pulse laser ablation of aluminum under different ambient air pressures between 1 atm and 4 × 10−4 Pa is investigated using a femtosecond time-resolved shadowgraphic method. It is observed that as the ambient air pressure decreases, the contact front becomes more and more distinct for a certain pressure range, demonstrating that the confinement effect of the ambient air to the ablated target material can play a critically important role in the laser ablation process. It is also found that the concentric and semicircular stripe pattern, which results from the diffraction of the probe beam by the expanding plume of a specific material state and is typically observed in the shadowgraphs for 1–2 ns delay time, gradually blurs and disappears while the ambient air pressure decreases from 1 atm to 7000 Pa. If a prepulse or a relatively large pulse pedestal exists before the main pulse, however, the stripe pattern can still be observed even though the ambient air pressure is 5 × 10-4 Pa. It is thus inferred that what contributes to the formation of the unique stripe pattern is a mixture of the ejected target material and ionized background gas induced by the femtosecond laserablation.
Tuning etch selectivity of fused silica irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses by controlling polarization of the writing pulses109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3555080View Description Hide Description
We report on experimental study on chemical etch selectivity of fused silica irradiated by femtosecond laser with either linear or circular polarization in a wide range of pulse energies. The relationships between the etch rates and pulse energies are obtained for different polarization states, which can be divided into three different regions. A drop of the etch rate for high pulse energy region is observed and the underlying mechanism is discussed. The advantage of using circularly polarized laser is justified owing to its unique capability of providing a 3D isotropic etch rate.
Tuning optical modes in slab photonic crystal by atomic layer deposition and laser-assisted oxidation109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3559269View Description Hide Description
The authors experimentally investigate the effects of atomic layer deposition(ALD) and laser-assisted oxidation on the optical modes in GaAs L3 photonic crystal air-bridge cavities, using layers of InAs quantum dots as internal light source. Four distinct optical mode peaks are observed in the photonic bandgap and they show different wavelength-redshifts (0–6.5 nm) as the photonic crystalsurface is coated with an Al2O3 layer (0–5.4 nm thick). Numerical finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) simulations can well-reproduce the experimental result and give insight into the origin of the shifts of modes with different spatial profiles. By combining the ALDcoating with in situ laser-assisted oxidation, we are able to both redshift and blueshift the optical modes and we attribute the blueshift to the formation of a GaAs-oxide at the expense of GaAs at the interface between GaAs and the Al2O3 layer. This result can be quantitatively reproduced by including a GaAs-oxide layer into the FDTD model. Selective etching experiments, confirm that this GaAs-oxide layer is mainly at the interface between GaAs and Al2O3 layers.
Studies of concentration dependences in the luminescence of Ti-doped Al2O3109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3552943View Description Hide Description
The variation of luminescence and excitation spectra of titaniumdopedAl2O3 for the concentration of Ti ranging from 10 to 1000 ppm was investigated using synchrotron radiation. In the lightly dopedAl2O3–Ti (<100 ppm) samples we identified several emission bands. These are the emission of the excitons localized at Ti (290 nm), the emission due to F+ centers (325 nm), the band around 420 nm traditionally attributed to F center emission, and the luminescence of Ti3+ ions at 720 nm. The emphasis in this study is on the clarification of the nature of the blue emission band in the samples with high concentration of Ti (≥100 ppm), where the luminescence and excitation spectra of the blue emission exhibit noticeable variability. This is explained by a model of the luminescence process of Ti4+–F centers that includes the photoionization of Ti3+, the subsequent capture of electrons at F+-centers, formation of excited F-centers and, finally, the emission of a blue photon. The quenching of the blue emission with increasing Ti concentration is interpreted in terms of competition between oxygen vacancies and Ti4+ centers in the capture of the electron.

X-ray enhancement in a nanohole target irradiated by intense ultrashort laser pulses109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3554407View Description Hide Description
In this paper, we present a comparative study of the laser energy absorption,soft x-ray emission (in the water window region: 2.3–4.4 nm) and hard x-ray emission (in the 2–20 keV range) from planar aluminum and nanohole alumina of 40 nm average diameter, when irradiated by Ti:sapphire laser pulses. The laser pulse duration was varied from 45 to 500 fs, and the focused intensity on the target ranged from ∼3 × 1016 W/cm2 to 3×1017 W/cm2. The x-ray yield enhancement from the nanoholes shows an increased coupling of the laser energy to the target. The effect of laser pulse duration on the x-ray emission was also studied, where a resonance like phenomenon was observed. The laser energy absorption measurements in the nanoholes showed a marginal enhancement in absorption as compared to planar Al. The integrated keV x-ray yield, from nanohole alumina and planar Al, at an intensity of 3 × 1017 W/cm2, was 25 and 3.5 μJ, respectively. The results can be explained by considering the hydrodynamic expansion of the laser irradiated structure and field enhancement in the nanoholes.
Dynamics of C2 formation in laser-produced carbon plasma in helium environment109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3555679View Description Hide Description
We investigated the role of helium ambient gas on the dynamics of C2 species formation in laser-produced carbon plasma. The plasma was produced by focusing 1064 nm pulses from an Nd:YAG laser onto a carbon target. The emission from the C2 species was studied using optical emission spectroscopy, and spectrally resolved and integrated fast imaging. Our results indicate that the formation of C2 in the plasma plume is strongly affected by the pressure of the He gas. In vacuum, the C2 emission zone was located near the target and C2 intensity oscillations were observed both in axial and radial directions with increasing the He pressure. The oscillations in C2 intensity at higher pressures in the expanding plume could be caused by various formation zones of carbon dimers.
Electron density and temperature of gas-temperature-dependent cryoplasma jet109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3552983View Description Hide Description
A microsize cryoplasma jet was developed and analyzed at plasma gas temperatures ranging from room temperature down to 5 K. Experimental results obtained from optical emission spectroscopy and current–voltage measurements indicate that the average electron density and electron temperature of the cryoplasma jet depend on the gas temperature. In particular, the electron temperature in the cryoplasma starts to decrease rapidly near 60 K from about 13 eV at 60 K to 2 eV at 5 K, while the electron density increases from about 109 to approximately 1012 cm−3 from room temperature to 5 K. This phenomenon induces an increase in the Coulomb interaction between electrons, which can be explained by the virial equation of state.
Observation and numerical analysis of plasma parameters in a capillary discharge-produced plasma channel waveguide109(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3560529View Description Hide Description

Plasma parameters of the waveguide were investigated by use of both a Normarski laser interferometer and a hydrogen plasma line spectrum. A space-averaged maximum temperature of 3.3 eV with electron densities of the order of was observed at a discharge time of 150 ns and a maximum discharge current of 200 A. One-dimensional dissipative magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) code was used to analyze the discharge dynamics in the gas-filled capillary discharge waveguide for high-intensity laser pulses. Simulations were performed for the conditions of the experiment. We compared the temporal behavior of the electron temperature and the radial electron density profiles, measured in the experiment with the results of the numerical simulations. They occurred to be in a good agreement. An ultrashort, intense laser pulse was guided by use of this plasma channel.

I tried online quote but kept messing it up. Any how I requested call back and was pleased I did as was able to say exactly what Beth had gone through. They insured four of us for £209 with excess for £75, £100 if hubby's blood pressure plays up and £350 if Beth has any problems with her pmc. This for us was the cheapest way to do it as was getting quotes over £1000. Thought may help some of you.

TORONTO — An array of fighting majors and 10-minute misconducts left the benches bare at the end of the Toronto Maple Leafs' 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday night.
Phil Kessel scored his first two goals of the preseason and was the flashpoint of the fighting at 10:01 of the third when he was targeted by the Sabres' John Scott.
Kessel backed away from Scott while twice swinging his stick at the Sabres' tough guy before some of his teammates jumped in.
That precipitated a line brawl with the Leafs' David Clarkson jumping off the bench to join the fray, and a goalie fight between Buffalo's Ryan Miller and Toronto's Jonathan Bernier.
Clarkson is subject to an automatic 10-game suspension in the regular season.
Josh Leivo had the winner for the Leafs, who also got goals from Trevor Smith and Jake Gardiner. Nikita Zadorov, Jamie McBain and Corey Tropp scored for Buffalo.

The Umami Wait Isn't So Bad Today
Are multi-hour waits a thing of the past?
Been holding off on checking out Manhattan's new Umami Burger because of the threat of multi-hour lines? Good news, then: A 1 p.m. spot check today revealed that the wait for two people was quoted as a totally reasonable ten to fifteen minutes. And the actual wait time — they text you when there's room for you — was twelve minutes. Not bad at all, but, then again, maybe all of the city's burger fiends are just up on 86th Street checking out Shake Shack's new fries.

Teaching Reading Strategies by Using a Comprehension Framework
Troegger, Danielle, Practically Primary
The COR Reading Comprehension Framework
Last year, I was fortunate to be involved in a year long professional development project for teachers from a range of independent Queensland schools. The project involved the implementation of the COR Reading Comprehension Framework into our classrooms to improve the teaching and learning of comprehension strategies. The COR framework project was based on the findings of Dr Gary Woolley's (2006) PhD thesis dissertation: The development, documentation, and evaluation of a strategy-training program for primary school students with reading comprehension difficulties. The focus of the dissertation was the Comprehension of the Narrative intervention program. Although the framework was developed to assist students with learning difficulties, it can also be implemented as a whole-class approach and modified to suit a particular year level.
The COR Framework
The COR framework allows students to be active researchers and supports the application of conscious thinking and metacognitive processes while reading and comprehending texts. This is achieved by using the COR lesson procedures to scaffold learning and to build on prior knowledge during each of the six stages of the program which has been based on Bloom's Taxonomy. Each lesson incorporates a before, during and after reading phase where the students can apply their newly learnt strategies to the narrative or information texts at the word, sentence, paragraph and discourse levels. Each phase of the COR framework draws on a set of skills as summarised in Table 1.
Implementing the COR Framework into a Reading Hour
I implemented the comprehension framework as part of my Reading Hour in my Year 2 classroom. The Reading Hour comprises of a whole/part/whole approach. We were working on an animal unit titled All Creatures Great and Small and were studying the characteristics and habitats of different animals. At the beginning of our Reading Hour, I introduced the big book Please Don't Feed the Bears and encouraged the students to activate prior knowledge by posing the question 'What do I already know about bears?' I then modelled making a concept map on the whiteboard of the students' known words and information about bears. During the modelled reading, I used think-aloud strategies and modelled using 'clicks' and 'clunks':
When we are reading and we can read the words and understand what we are reading we click, click, click along but when we come to a word we don't know or understand the meaning of we clunk and stop. Then when we find a clunk, what fix-up strategies can we use to solve the clunk?
The strategies were printed on A4 Clunk Expert cards and laminated so that the students could refer to them during shared, guided and independent reading. After the reading, we reviewed the facts and added new words and information to the concept map.
Reading Groups and the COR Framework
The next phase of the Reading Hour was cooperative group work. Here, the students worked in their allocated reading groups with a teacher, teacher aide or classroom helper on the following tasks: Guided Reading; Comprehension; Constructing a Concept Map; Visualising.
1. Guided Reading, working with texts and generating questions
During guided reading of the text Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the students worked with a teacher aide with the focus of the lesson being on generating questions before, during and after the reading of the text. The teacher aide and students used question cards to assist them generate questions. This started as only an oral lesson as the focus was on the discussion by activating prior knowledge, making predictions, identifying details, determining the main idea, identifying clunks, sharing information and generating questions to locate new information. Eventually, the students reached the stage where they were recording questions before, during and after reading texts in their Learning Journals and posing questions for their peers to answer. …

A study by researchers at Liverpool John Moores University for the journal Appetite has called for a change in the law on the salt content of popular British takeaway dishes, after revealing 'alarmingly high' salt content in many dishes, reports The Independent.
The study looked at more than 400 meals from 23 different types of takeaway outlets located in the North West.
After analysing the content of each dish, the report concluded that some fast-food meals contain more than twice an adults' daily requirement of salt. The worst offenders were takeaway pizzas, with 9.45g of salt, with Chinese food second on 8.1g and kebabs third on 6.2g.
The NHS guideline for salt intake is around 6g per day for adults, which is roughly the equivalent of a teaspoon. Some dishes in the survey contained several times this level. One portion of prawn chow mein tested had 21g of salt.
The university study showed that none of the 23 different types of cuisine offered a meal with a third or less of the daily requirement and in most cases salt content was as much as half. With salt content that high, it would be almost impossible to stick to the recommended daily intake after consuming other meals during the day.
Dietary salt is known to increase the risk of a person developing high blood pressure, which in turn increases the risk of developing heart attacks, angina and strokes. High salt diets have also been implicated in increasing the risk of developing kidney stones, stomach cancer, asthma and osteoporosis.
It is thought that lowering national salt consumption by just 10% could lead to 6,000 fewer deaths from cardiovascular disease each year.
The university study believes that the answer to this problem would lie in new legislation. Studies have shown that consumption of processed foods and takeaways are on the increase, with the average Briton eating at least one takeaway per week.
Katherine Jenner is the campaign director for the action group CASH, the Consensus Action on Salt and Health.
"Legislation for salt reduction has been adopted by other countries, namely South Africa, but in the UK it could take years – in which time thousands more will have died from strokes, heart attacks and heart failure," she told The Independent.
