Pepper is a microcephalic woman that has been committed to Briarcliff Manor. She is a character in Asylum portrayed by Naomi Grossman. She seems gentle and playful but has been accused of a violent crime.
|Portrayed by
|Cause of death
|Asylum Characters
Episodic appearances
- Welcome to Briarcliff - When Lana Winters first arrives at Briarcliff, Pepper hands her a flower, saying "Play with me!" Sister Mary Eunice asks Pepper to leave Lana alone, but Lana insists that Pepper is just trying to make friends. Mary informs Lana that she is anything but harmless, having drowned her sister's baby and cut off his ears. Pepper can later be seen chanting "Fight!" during the brawl between Spivey and Kit Walker.
- Tricks and Treats - Pepper is chastised by Sister Jude for hoarding food in her cell. When quizzed about the purpose of this rule she gleefully replies, "Rats!"
- Nor'easter - During movie night, Pepper leaves the common room in a hurry to pee. She doesn't return in time to prevent Sr. Jude from mistaking her for one of the three escapees.
- The Coat Hanger - Pepper reappears in a cell following the bright lights and the arrival of the aliens, where she tells Dr. Arden that she will take care of the pregnant Grace, who has miraculously been revived.
- The Name Game - Pepper has been charged with Grace's protection, claiming that Arden's experiments couldn't impair the child's safety. Pepper claims that she was falsely accused with murdering and mutilating her nephew. It is believed that the humanoids have given significant augmentation to her intelligence. She also seems to have information regarding the humanoids.
- Spilt Milk - Pepper is seen alongside Grace when Oliver Thredson comes into the common room. Pepper defends her charge and tells Thredson that she knows what he is really up to. Thredson tells the orderlies in the room to take Pepper in for hydrotherapy.
- Continuum - Pepper and Jude become friends and look out for each other after Kit and Lana leave Briarcliff. Two years later Jude has forgotten most of what happened and is informed that Pepper had passed away in the Winter of 1966.
- To Arthur Arden: "Doctor Arden, you still see me as microcephalic. When my sister's husband drowned her baby and sliced his ears off he told everyone I did it. They tied me up and paraded me in front of the judge, he took one look at the shape of my head and I was locked up for good. That's how it works for us freaks, we get blamed for everything. But if something happens to Grace in here and she is harmed in any way there won't be anyone else to blame. They will take you, open up your head, and stir your brain with a fork. And when you return you will witness first hand how they treat us freaks. I'll take care of Grace. Why don't you go to your whore-nun to help you soothe your deflated ego?"

March 9, 2006
Valdosta - Only one day of classes left, then V.S.U. students will pack their bags and head to their spring break destinations. "I'm going to Fernindina Beach," said Harry Beagler.
"My friends and I are going to Panama City Florida," said D.J. Poole.
It will be a week filled with sun and fun, and hopefully, safety. The college is preparing its students for difficult situations they may face on their trips at the Safe Spring Break Fair. "We want them to be safe, make it a good time, relax and have fun, but come back safely," said Mark Williams, Fair Organizer.
They're getting information on everything from date rape drugs to safe sex, sexually transmitted diseases and traveling in groups. "It's always good to be amongst your friends, someone you know and trust," said Vernotis Williams, Valdosta Police Officer.
Then there's one of the biggest problems students often encounter on spring break, drinking and driving. By wearing beer goggles and driving a golf cart around a mock D.U.I. obstacle course, they get a feel for how dangerous drinking and driving actually is. "It looked like everything was blurry, that cone was over there but it was really over there," said Amanda Haman.
"Its really hard, I was having trouble even walking to the golf cart," said Poole.
The students are running over cones on the obstacle course today, but the message the college wants to get across is that in real life, those cones could be other vehicles, or even people. "I tell them that everything they hit could be someone's kid, even their own child," said Williams.
It's a situation that none of these students want to face, and by applying the lessons learned today, they won't have to.

Walking into one of Stocker's black-and-white rooms is like invading the two-dimensional world of a line drawing. Using wood, foam and acrylic as her media, she creates dramatic illusions of depth the same way one does when making marks on a sheet of paper to create three-dimensional forms. Take a look at some of Stocker's entrancing installations below.

A former star player for the New England Patriots has been threatened with a lawsuit by delusional parents who claim he's ruined the lives of their kids by exposing a drug/alcohol fueled party at his home.
Brian Holloway tells TMZ, "I blew way past furious" when he discovered several hundred teenagers broke into his vacation home outside Albany, NY over Labor Day weekend.
The kids started tweeting and Instagramming madly inside, posting photos of what looked like a scene out of "Animal House."
Holloway went ballistic, created a website -- helpmesave300 -- and started posting pictures of the damage, as well as the tweets from some of the partygoers -- and those tweets ID'd the kids.
Holloway tells TMZ ... he's been told by the Sheriff's Dept. some of the parents are furious because their poor kids have now been exposed. Some bitch that it will hurt their chances of getting into college. Others whine their poor kiddies are being harassed at school. And they actually have the audacity to threaten a lawsuit.
Holloway says there was plenty of evidence of drugs at the party, including crack and meth. And, of course, a river of alcohol.
He says it's gonna cost $20 - $40k to repair the damage.
The parents should try and bottle their chutzpah and sell it. They could make enough to pay for the damage.
Hooligans? Who decided to use that word to describe the juvenile criminals? Surely, in the English language, there are more apt descriptions!
Wow, first time I have ever seen so much agreement with posters on TMZ, maybe there is hope for this country after all.
If my kid had been there, he would have been the 1st one to show up with a bucket ,soap and trash bags. But that still would not be enough. He would then be out doing Mom's Law of community service by helping anybody in the neighborhood that needed help
And this folks is what is wrong with kids today..their parent's!!!!
Those kids were not college bound. Let's be honest here.
It's hard to say who I have less sympathy for in this story -- a millionaire former football star or a bunch of loser parents refusing to take responsibility for their teenagers...
Your kids are common denominator DRUGGIE THUGS. How you feel about them being just like the thugs and people you look down on with contempt. They are your meth heads, crackheads, burglars.
Sue the parents for damages their kids caused...
The lack of respect, morals and values these parents have passed on to their kids is mind boggling. I went to the "Help Me Save 300" page, and just shook my head at the pictures and tweets. I give all the credit in the world to Mr. Holloway; my blood would be boiling, and I wouldn't be nearly as forgiving as he appears to be. However, his attempt to turn this into a learning experience have fallen on deaf ears. These "parents" and their "privileged kids" don't, and never will, get it. When the qualities of being a compassionate, valuable, respectable member of society are non-existent, no amount of "teachable moments" will instill the responsibility or accountability that's obviously missing from these families.
The sad part about this whole situation is that it's the kids that weren't at the party that are volunteering to clean up the mess. http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Students-tackle-cleanup-duties-4823139.php
Apparently, responsibility isn't a word we know up here in Upstate NY.
eff the parents, what world do they live in...I hope the ex nfl'r take everything from the kids' parents
I think he was handling this with class. Now I think he should go after the kids with charges
America went to the dogs a long time ago, and with stories like this, I can see it's never going to change. Look at the young generation featured on the recent season of "Big Brother." They were nothing but a bunch of foul-mouthed racists who thought they were hot stuff in front of the camera. Disgusting. Hey, Harvey! What's up?!
Mark my words...I see a reality show coming out of this.
For every lawsuit that is filed against Holloway Holloway will be able to counter sue the kids and the parents for the damage to his home. Beside, if Holloway obtained the photos from the internet, he's just reposting what has already been made public.

Hello, teachers:
The following is my cover letter. I do need your help!
Dear Sir/Madam:
Your job listing, posted on xxxxxxx.com, for ... caught my attention. I'm confident my experience, education and individual abilities will make me a competitive candidate for this position.
The key strengths that I possess for success in this position include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Comprehensive experience. I started as an lab technician, and then was involved in management, and engaged in marketing afterwards. The first company I worked for (xxxx) was a leader of the xxxxxxxxx product industry having the largest domestic market share. My second employer (xxxxxxxx) was a new entrant to that market. I don't think most of employees of the xxxxxxx industry have such comprehensive experience, which makes me understand the market more profoundly.
2. Experience of penetrating a saturated market. I brought the first 13 customers (hospitals) for the xxxxxxxxx Product Department of xxxxxxxx, and created sales of about xxx,xxx RMB within 5 month. Although such sales might be nothing to speak of for some big companies like yours, I think it may be one of the most difficult things to break into a saturated market and what I've achieved can manifest my high quality as an salesman.
3. The spirit of enterprise and the capability for learning. xxxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxxxx techniques require much expertise. I grew fast from a novice to an expert with more-than-100-thousand-word experience of technical translation and writing within less than 2 years. Furthermore, I've changed my job role twice, and I show my competence every time. I believe these facts have demonstrated my spirit of enterprise and capability for learning.
In addition, I have a second degree in computer science and technology. I'm familiar with VBA and C++ programming, let alone common office software, and some of the programs I developed are still in use in my previous companies. I was the responsible person of the project implementation of the Management Information System (MIS) in xxxxxx company. My IELTS score (6.5) shows that I'm a competent English user.
Strictly speaking, the xxxxxx product industry, which I served in, is not exactly the same as the xxxxxx industry. But I believe their similarities are much more than differences and my precedent experience will be immensely profitable if I win your position.
I really hope that you'll find my experience intriguing enough to warrant a face-to-face meeting. Looking forward to your reply.
The attached is my resume.
Yours sincerely,
Mobile: xxxxxxxxxxxxx; Tel: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Open Access
= Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions - Peter Suber [1]
FAQ at http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wiki/index.php/Open_Access_Publishing
1. "Open Access contributions are those works that satisfy two conditions:
- The author(s) and right holder(s) of such contributions grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship (community standards will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now), whether in print or online.
- A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission as stated above, in an appropriate standard electronic format is deposited (and thus published) in at least one online repository using suitable technical standards (such as the Open Archive Definitions) that is supported and maintained by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, interoperability, and long-term archiving."
2. "By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited." - Budapest Open Access Initiative, (http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml)
From the Wikipedia:
"Open access (OA) is free, immediate, permanent, full-text, online access, for any user, web-wide, to digital scientific and scholarly material, primarily research articles published in peer-reviewed journals. OA means that any individual user, anywhere, who has access to the Internet, may link, read, download, store, print-off, use, and data-mine the digital content of that article. An OA article usually has limited copyright and licensing restrictions.
The first major international statement on open access was the Budapest Open Access Initiative in February 2002. This provided a definition of open access, and has a growing list of signatories. Two further statements followed: the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishingin June 2003 and the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities in October 2003.
OA has since become the subject of much discussion amongst researchers, academics, librarians, university administrators, funding agencies, government officials, commercial publishers, and society publishers. Although there is substantial (though not universal) agreement on the concept of OA itself, there is considerable debate and discussion about the economics of funding peer review in open access publishing, and the reliability and economic effects of self-archiving.
There are about 20-25,000 peer-reviewed journals in allacross all disciplines, countries and languages. About 10 - 15% of them are OA journals, as indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (gold OA). Of the more than 10,000 peer-reviewed non-OA journals indexed in the Romeo directory of publisher policies (which includes most of the journals indexed by Thomson/ISI[8]), over 90% endorse some form of author self-archiving (green OA): 62% endorse self-archiving the author's final peer-reviewed draft or "postprint," 29% the pre-refereeing "preprint." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access)
From the Budapest Open Access Initiative:
"There are many degrees and kinds of wider and easier access to this literature. By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited." (http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml)
See also: The Open Access FAQ: http://www.plos.org/faq.html
Key Arguments
Peter Suber answers the main worries of the critics and doubters:
On incentives:
- As OA proponents we have to "start working with the existing system of incentives".... and that "researchers are not so preoccupied by their research that they can't be induced to pay attention to relevant differences among journals, or at least the differences which universities make relevant. This gives hope to a strategy to get faculty to pay attention to access issues." [my emphasis]
On prestige:
- "If most OA journals are lower in prestige than [traditional] journals, it's not because they are OA. A large [part] of the explanation is that they are newer and younger" ... "There is already a growing number of high-prestige OA journals."
(OA journals like PLoS Medicine, whose impact factors have consistently put it among the top 5 of general medical journals and whose influence means its articles are regularly cited in media and policy discussions).
On promotion and tenure reviews:
- "Universities tend to use journal prestige and impact as surrogates for quality. The excuses for doing so are getting thin" ... "If you've ever had to consider a candidate for hiring, promotion, or tenure, you know that it's much easier to tell whether she has published in high-impact or high-prestige journals than to tell whether her articles are actually good." ... "When we want to assess the quality of articles or people, and not the citation impact of journals, then we need measurements that are more nuanced, more focused on the salient variables, more fair to the variety of scholarly resources, more comprehensive, more timely, and with luck more automated and fully OA." (http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/09-02-08.htm)
Characteristics of Open Access
Open Access, as defined by Peter Suber in his Open Access Overview (excerpt):
Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
- OA removes price barriers (subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-view fees) and permission barriers (most copyright and licensing restrictions). The PLoS shorthand definition —"free availability and unrestricted use"— succinctly captures both elements.
- There is some flexibility about which permission barriers to remove. For example, some OA providers permit commercial re-use and some do not. Some permit derivative works and some do not. But all of the major public definitions of OA agree that merely removing price barriers, or limiting permissible uses to "fair use" ("fair dealing" in the UK), is not enough.
- Here's how the Budapest Open Access Initiative put it: "There are many degrees and kinds of wider and easier access to this literature. By 'open access' to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."
- Here's how the Bethesda and Berlin statements put it: For a work to be OA, the copyright holder must consent in advance to let users "copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship...."
- The Budapest (February 2002), Bethesda (June 2003), and Berlin (October 2003) definitions of "open access" are the most central and influential for the OA movement. Sometimes I call refer to them collectively, or to their common ground, as the BBB definition.
- While removing price barriers without removing permission barriers is not enough for full OA under the BBB definition, there's no doubt that price barriers constitute the bulk of the problem for which OA is the solution. Removing price barriers alone will give most OA proponents most of what they want and need.
- In addition to removing access barriers, OA should be immediate, rather than delayed, and should apply to full-text, not just to abstracts or summaries.

Green vs. Gold
"Green OA consists of researchers continuing to publish in traditional subscription journals, and then self-archiving their final peer-reviewed papers on the Web, either in an institutional repository or in a central or subject-based repository like arXiv or PubMed Central. In this way they can ensure that any other researcher in the world is able to access their papers, regardless of whether the other researcher's institution has a subscription to the journals in which the papers are published. Gold OA, by contrast, consists of researchers publishing in specialist OA journals (e.g. the journals of OA publishers like BioMed Central or Public Library of Science) rather than in a subscription journal. The OA movement has developed an interesting question has arisen: should Green and Gold OA be viewed as concurrent or consecutive activities?" (http://www.richardpoynder.co.uk/Whom_Would_You_Back.pdf)
"Gold OA - journals in this category do peer reviews, and allow the author to retain copyright. Some are for profit, some are not. They charge a fee to publish each article (paid by the author, or the sponsor of the research, or the university). These journals may run advertisements or priced "add-on" articles to help defray the costs of publishing.
Green OA - refers primarily to archives and repositories, often hosted by universities committed to long-term preservation. Peer review is not necessary, as articles in this category have already gone through their initial publishing process. The repositories are typically organized by discipline.
A cross between Gold and Green is what Suber calls the "delayed open access journal" which allows OA to begin after an embargo period (i.e. a set period of time after publication). There is also the situation of articles previously published in non-OA journals. As the copyright holders, the publishers may or may not allow OA archiving. But, as Suber points out, there are actually three versions of an article: (1) the pre-print version; (2) the post-print version (after peer review, but before copy-editing), and (3) the final version. The author typically holds the copyright for the pre-print version. And according to Suber, 70% of journals allow for post-print archiving. So in essence, an author can often decide the extent of an article to expose in an archive." (http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wiki/index.php/Open_Access_Publishing)
Strong vs. Weak
Peter Suber and Steven Harnad:
"The term "open access" is now widely used in at least two senses. For some, "OA" literature is digital, online, and free of charge. It removes price barriers but not permission barriers. For others, "OA" literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of unnecessary copyright and licensing restrictions. It removes both price barriers and permission barriers. It allows reuse rights which exceed fair use.
There are two good reasons why our central term became ambiguous. Most of our success stories deliver OA in the first sense, while the major public statements from Budapest, Bethesda, and Berlin (together, the BBB definition of OA) describe OA in the second sense.
As you know, Stevan Harnad and I have differed about which sense of the term to prefer –he favoring the first and I the second. What you may not know is that he and I agree on nearly all questions of substance and strategy, and that these differences were mostly about the label. While it may seem that we were at an impasse about the label, we have in fact agreed on a solution which may please everyone. At least it pleases us.
We have agreed to use the term "weak OA" for the removal of price barriers alone and "strong OA" for the removal of both price and permission barriers. To me, the new terms are a distinct improvement upon the previous state of ambiguity because they label one of those species weak and the other strong. To Stevan, the new terms are an improvement because they make clear that weak OA is still a kind of OA.
On this new terminology, the BBB definition describes one kind of strong OA. A typical funder or university mandate provides weak OA. Many OA journals provide strong OA, but many others provide weak OA." (http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2008/04/strong-and-weak-oa.html)
Overview of the debate at http://blog.okfn.org/2008/05/09/beyond-strong-and-weak-towards-a-typology-of-open-access/
Author vs. Publisher Archiving
"Two models. The first is a system in which the author of an academic paper pays a journal publisher for his or her peers to review the research, and for the publishing team to edit the work and market the research. In reality, it is not the academic who would pay but the organisation that funds the research, such as the British Heart Foundation or a research council. The Public Library of Science, the US-based publisher of scientific and medical journals, announced it would adopt this model in 2002 to give its scientists more choice and control over the way their work was published.
The second is a system in which an academic posts his or her research paper on the university's database - known as a repository - for all academics and the general public to see via the internet once the paper has been accepted by a journal. This is known as "author archiving"." (http://education.guardian.co.uk/egweekly/story/0,,2011324,00.html)
OA for Data vs. OA for publications
"The research production cycle has three components: the conduct of the research itself (R), the data (D), and the peer-reviewed publication (P) of the findings. Open Access (OA) means free online access to the publications (P-OA), but OA can also be extended to the data (D-OA): the two hurdles for D-OA are that not all researchers want to make their data OA and that the online infrastructure for D-OA still needs additional functionality. In contrast, all researchers, without exception, do want to make their publications P-OA, and the online infrastructure for publication-archiving (a worldwide interoperable network of OAI [2]-compliant Institutional Repositories [IRs][3]) already has all the requisite functionality for this." (http://www.ctwatch.org/quarterly/articles/2007/08/incentivizing-the-open-access-research-web/)

"The global shift towards making research findings available free of charge for readers—so-called 'open access'—was confirmed today in a study funded by the European Commission. This new research suggests that open access is reaching the tipping point, with around 50% of scientific papers published in 2011 now available for free. This is about twice the level estimated in previous studies, explained by a refined methodology and a wider definition of open access. The study also estimates that more than 40% of scientific peer reviewed articles published worldwide between 2004 and 2011 are now available online in open access form. The study looks at the EU and some neighbouring countries, as well as Brazil, Canada, Japan and United States of America." (http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-786_en.htm)

Key Books To Read
The following books were chosen from a list provided by Peter Suber.
Book 1. Open Access to Knowledge / Libre accès aux savoirs. Francis André. Futuribles, Perspectives, 72 pages, 2005
"If open-source software has shown the importance of skill sharing, it is part of a broader issue: the progress of thought, and therefore of science, depends primarily on the freedom to communicate and exchange ideas. Thus the importance of the international initiative in favour of open access to scientific works that challenges a commercial publishing system where some publishers can claim a quasi-monopoly. Francis André is a major player of this movement of utmost importance for Southern countries and ultimately for the overall global development of innovation." (comment from http://www.futuribles.com/home.html)
Book 2: John Willinsky, The Access Principle: The Case for Open Access to Research and Scholarship, MIT Press, 2005.
"Questions about access to scholarship go back farther than recent debates over subscription prices, rights, and electronic archives suggest. The great libraries of the past -- from the fabled collection at Alexandria to the early public libraries of nineteenth-century America -- stood as arguments for increasing access. In The Access Principle, John Willinsky describes the latest chapter in this ongoing story -- online open access publishing by scholarly journals -- and makes a case for open access as a public good. A commitment to scholarly work, writes Willinsky, carries with it a responsibility to circulate that work as widely as possible: this is the access principle. In the digital age, that responsibility includes exploring new publishing technologies and economic models to improve access to scholarly work. Wide circulation adds value to published work; it is a significant aspect of its claim to be knowledge. The right to know and the right to be known are inextricably mixed. Open access, argues Willinsky, can benefit both a researcher-author working at the best-equipped lab at a leading research university and a teacher struggling to find resources in an impoverished high school. Willinsky describes different types of access -- the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, grants open access to issues six months after initial publication, and First Monday forgoes a print edition and makes its contents immediately accessible at no cost. He discusses the contradictions of copyright law, the reading of research, and the economic viability of open access. He also considers broader themes of public access to knowledge, human rights issues, lessons from publishing history, and "epistemological vanities." The debate over open access, writes Willinsky, raises crucial questions about the place of scholarly work in a larger world -- and about the future of knowledge."
John Willinsky is Pacific Press Professor of Literacy and Technology at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of Empire of Words: The Reign of the OEDand a developer of Open Journals Systems software.

There is an increasing demand in the aerospace industry for large sapphire windows. Airplanes and UAVs, (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), have advanced reconnaissance systems and other large view ports that sapphire is perfectly suited for. Sapphire is also increasingly viewed as a window material upgrade from Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) and Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) for these airborne applications. It is well known that sapphire is commercially available unlike other optical materials such as Alon and Spinel which toil in R&D mode.
Sapphire is being adopted for aerospace applications because of the flexibility that sapphire material affords optical engineers in terms of sizes, optical properties, mechanical properties and the wide transmission range from the VUV to the near IR. These unique parameters, along with the availability of 15" diameter sizes, give the material a real advantage over other optical materials. HEM sapphire is optimized for use in aerospace applications; low scattering bulk material with near perfect crystalline structure yields high performance windows. Crystal Systems has focused on being the best optical sapphire supplier in the world; our valued customers continue to validate our work.
The market for Light Emitting Diodes, LEDs is in its infancy. Still, for over fifteen years Crystal Systems has been a trusted supplier! Sapphire is the number one substrate material being used for the deposition of Gallium Nitride, GaN. The quality, price, and availability of sapphire give it the lead position in the High Brightness LED, HBLED market. The sapphire material used for deposition of GaN must be low defect density with high purity. It is important to control the crystalline orientation accuracy to avoid GaN defects and maximize brightness. Moreover, like the silicon semiconductor industry, sapphire sizes are scalable. Crystal Systems supports the commodity size 2" substrates and also supplies 8" diameter wafers for cutting edge LED research. Please consider Crystal Systems for its quality, technical knowledge and experience in this field. To be successful supplying sapphire for the LED industry; you need high quality, delivery and price, Crystal Systems has all three.
There is an increasing number of mechanical sapphire applications including semiconductor wafer carriers, wear parts, nozzles, bearings, blades, tubes and jewel bearings. HEM sapphire possesses excellent hardness, strength, thermal shock resistance with operating temperatures over 1800 degrees Celsius. These attributes allow HEM sapphire to safely operate where other structural materials will fail. The current and emerging engineering applications for mechanical sapphire rely on consistent mechanical strength, purity and orientation
Sapphire components can be installed in high temperature equipment without worrying about life times or the possibility of contaminating the chamber environment. Other mechanical applications such as liquid chromatography require well-annealed and low stressed material. HEM sapphire is low stressed because of the anneal cycle used during the crystal growth cycle. Fabrication processes after growth are low damage in order to ensure no subsurface damage or micro fracturing exists in the components. HEM sapphire is grown without stress and fabricated using low damage processes to yield high performance components that will operate in environments that most materials will not survive.

Anthony Beane, Sr.
Jalen Pendleton and Anthony Beane, Jr. have signed scholarship agreements with SIU.
Head coach Barry Hinson will introduce his coaching staff.
Anthony Beane joined Barry Hinson's staff at Southern Illinois University on May 18, 2012. He brought with him his son, Anthony Jr., who earned Second-Team All-Conference honors in 2014 and was among the Missouri Valley Conference's best players in the final month of the season when he won MVC Player of the Week honors three times..
Previously, Beane served two stints at Illinois State. He coached five seasons under Tim Jankovich (2007-12) and two years on Tom Richardson's staff (2000-02). In between, he was an assistant coach at Saint Louis from 2002-06.
"I'm extremely pleased to add Anthony to our staff," Hinson said. "He's a veteran coach who is familiar with the Missouri Valley Conference, and he's a strong recruiter who can help us in St. Louis and Chicago."
Beane is no stranger to post-season play. The Redbirds advanced to the NIT in 2001, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012, while the Billikens made the NIT in 2003 and 2004.
"I've known Coach Hinson for a long time and am excited about being able to work with a very experienced head coach," Beane said. "Being from the southeast Missouri area, my family grew up around Saluki Basketball, and it's great to be able to relocate to a familiar area."
Beane broke into the NCAA Division I coaching ranks with a three-year run at Southeast Missouri State (1997-2000). He helped the Redhawks to back-to-back 20-win seasons, including a 24-9 mark and a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 1999.
Beane's coaching start came in the junior college ranks. He spent the 1995-96 season as an assistant coach at Allen County Community College in Iola, Kan., before moving to West Plains Community College (now Missouri State-West Plains), for the following campaign. He coached both teams to 20-win seasons before joining the SEMO staff 1997.
As a player, Beane spent two seasons at Three Rivers Community College, where he garnered All-America honors and led the team to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Championship in 1991. From there, he moved on to Kansas State, where he played for current Oregon coach Dana Altman. At K-State, he made an immediate impact. He was named the 1992 Big Eight Conference Newcomer of the Year and was twice named to the All-Conference team.
Beane and his wife, Katina, are the parents of two sons, Anthony Jr. and Darius.

State and federal fish officials say there could be bad news for fishermen who rely on king salmon along the Yukon River.
They're predicting a chinook salmon run that's worse than last year, which was one of the worst in 30 years.
Last year's king run was estimated at 143,000 fish. Managers predict 109,000 to 146,000 fish this year.
Biologists say that 100,000 fish must reach spawning grounds in Alaska and Canada to perpetuate the king run, leaving few to catch by subsistence fishermen.
The Pacific Salmon Treaty with Canada requires management so that about 50,000 kings make it across the border.
That goal has only been met twice in the last five years.

(WHAS11) Some suspected car thieves were caught in the act, posing as a tow company, and we have the surveillance video that shows it; but when the victim contacted WHAS11's Andy Treinen, we discovered an odd law in Kentucky that may have actually drawn the suspects to the victim's car.
Sean Madden said he thought it was a joke when he showed up to work at Lewis Door Service in his company vehicle and his personal vehicle was gone. Madden didn't know what to think. "Heartbroken, really; I liked my van and you know it was a nice van, and now it's in pieces and shambles," said Madden.
You can see those pieces and shambles in our video, but first the pictures that police used to make arrests
Lewis Door Service has eight cameras in its parking lot. Madden showed us the video surveillance. "Here he comes in the Rollback, and he pulls up right in front of the camera," explained madden, "Six minutes later, you see my van just leaving, driving off, you just have to wave to it; bye, bye."
Fortunately for Madden, LMPD has a task force specifically assigned to this kind of crime and they had seen this Dodge Ram Rollback before. "The next day, our task force went by the scrap yard and they were able to find the suspects still with their tow truck, still with the van, at the parking lot of the scrap yard," said Detective Dave Allen; but by then, the van was virtually unrecognizable, by even its owner.
Detective Allen escorted us into the police impound lot to take a look; it's become kind of a grave yard for cars. "They cut the doors off, smashed the windshield out and tore the hood off. They tried to rip some of the VIN numbers off and they did significant damage to it, to make it look worse than it truly was," said Allen.
The three men caught in the act are Travis Lausman, Mathew Baumler and Jose Madrigal. Lausman and Baumler are charged with unlawful taking of an auto, and Madrigal is charged with receiving stolen property. "Actually, the guy called into the scrap yard and said he's going to be there, so they [LMPD] staked-out the scrap yard for a few hours and sure enough he showed with my van on his Rollback; gotcha, gotcha," said Madden.
While police call this a crime of opportunity, the opportunity is more appealing for thieves if you have an older vehicle. In the state of Kentucky, any car older than a 1998 can be scrapped without a title or proof of purchase. "It's a very odd law. It almost promotes theft," expressed an exasperated Madden.
Madden had to pay $75 to have his van towed off of the police impound lot and to a scrap yard, where he got $329 dollars for the metal. "There goes your van; bye, bye van," said Madden. A van that was Sean's only personal means of transportation.
"Nobody wins here; the bad guy went to jail, the scrap yard didn't get anything from this, and our victim is out a vehicle. Nobody wins," said Allen.
Police are still trying to determine if this theft was part of a bigger crime ring. All the men involved have previous criminal records. They have all pleaded not guilty to this crime and are out on bond awaiting trial.

Johns Hopkins Children's Center pediatrician Myron Yaster, M.D., has been chosen to receive the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia. Yaster is being honored for his trailblazing work in the field of pediatric anesthesia and pain management.
In an analysis of genetic information among more than 87,000 men, a global team of scientists says it has found 23 new genetic variants — common differences in the genetic code — that increase a man's risk for prostate cancer. The so-called meta-analysis, believed to be the largest of its kind, has revealed once hidden mutations among men in a broad array of ethnic groups comprising men of European, African, Japanese and Latino ancestry.
Two Johns Hopkins neuroscientists have discovered the "molecular brakes" that time the generation of important cells in the inner ear cochleas of mice. These "hair cells" translate sound waves into electrical signals that are carried to the brain and are interpreted as sounds. If the arrangement of the cells is disordered, hearing is impaired.
Technique will likely have applications in forensic science and donor organ monitoring
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have identified a highly sensitive means of analyzing very tiny amounts of DNA. The discovery, they say, could increase the ability of forensic scientists to match genetic material in some criminal investigations. It could also prevent the need for a painful, invasive test given to transplant patients at risk of rejecting their donor organs and replace it with a blood test that reveals traces of donor DNA.
Using a pain clinic as a testing ground, researchers at Johns Hopkins have shown that a management process first popularized by Toyota in Japan can substantially reduce patient wait times and possibly improve the teaching of interns and residents.

The Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center is the recipient of one of 22 research grants offered to investigators in nine countries by the International Progressive MS Alliance, a worldwide collaborative focused on finding solutions to progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
More research is still needed to test the role of psilocybin in helping people quit
Johns Hopkins researchers report that a small number of longtime smokers who had failed many attempts to drop the habit did so after a carefully controlled and monitored use of psilocybin, the active hallucinogenic agent in so-called "magic mushrooms," in the context of a cognitive behavioral therapy treatment program.
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has been named a top medical education program, along with the University of California, San Francisco, by the physician network Doximity and its partner U.S. News & World Report. This is their first comprehensive national study of residency programs. Johns Hopkins placed in the top 10 in 14 specialties and is number one in four specialties: Nuclear Medicine, Otolaryngology, Pathology (Anatomic & Clinical) and Surgery.
Norm Barker, M.A., M.S., a professor of pathology and art as applied medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Lydia Gregg, M.A., an instructor and certified medical illustrator at the school, each received an Award of Excellence in the BioCommunications Association's 2014 BioImages competition.
A team of American infectious disease and critical care experts is alerting colleagues caring for Ebola patients that how they remove their personal protective gear can be just as crucial as wearing it to prevent exposure to the deadly virus.
Seeks to close gender gap in reproductive health care
Compared with women, American men have worse access to reproductive and sexual health care, research shows, a disparity fueled in part by the lack of standard clinical guidelines on the types and timing of exams, tests and treatments that should be offered to all men of reproductive age.

Driving with your cell phone in your hand has been illegal since July 1, 2013.
Local law enforcement said the law seems to be working but still has a long way to go.
Area residents agree.
"It's all a big distraction. There is enough distractions out there already. Cell phones shouldn't even be a part of it," said Kenny Sleeth, Marion County resident.
Thousands of cars drive through the town of White Hall every day.
Police said they believe the new hands-free driving law is helping with the distraction, but not entirely.
"It's kind of hit and miss. I mean sometimes you'll just sit there and observe traffic and you'll see out of ten cars, you'll maybe see four or five," said Geno Guerrieri, White Hall Police Chief.
White Hall Police said they have pulled over dozens of cars already.
"We probably stopped, all of the officers, I'd say 20-25. Somewhere in that area. How many tickets we wrote? I can't verify that," Chief Guerrieri said.
Police do believe the law is working and said in time everyone will catch on.
"We will write some tickets but a lot of people are catching on. If we give someone a warning, they next day we'll see them and they won't be on it," Chief Guerrieri said.
Drivers, however, are still hesitant.
"It probably hasn't really taken effect yet. It hasn't been in effect long enough. Hopefully it will. I think it's a really good idea," Sleeth said.
If you are caught on the phone while driving, police said you could be subject to a pretty hefty fine.
"The first offense is $100. Second offense is $200 and third offense is $300 and subsequent offense. If they get four or five offenses, its still a $300 fine," Chief Guerrieri said.
Police said it's important to install your Bluetooth devices and use them.

About 1878 James H. Cook discovered fossils eroding from the outcrop on what is now known as Carnegie Hill. He showed the out-crop to Professor Bailey, Territorial Geologist for the State of Wyoming, in the early 1880's. In 1891, students from the University of Nebraska, under Professor E. H. Barbour, first visited the fossil hills.
In the summer of 1904, Mr. O. A. Peterson from the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh came to Agate and with the able assistance of James Cook's young son, Harold, then 17, conducted the first scientific excavation at this site. They discovered a rich quarry, containing a type of rhinoceros that was new to science. Peterson was one of the best collectors of fossils in the country at that time. He collected at the Agate Springs Fossil Quarries for many years and it was he who opened the quarry in the big hill which E. H. Barbour later named Carnegie Hill.
In 1905, Barbour and four students came to Agate and opened a quarry in the side of a hill about one hundred yards north of Carnegie Hill. Barbour named this hill University Hill. Both institutions worked their respective quarries for a number of collecting seasons.
Yale University collected at the Agate Springs Fossil Quarries also at about the same time. The head of the Department of Paleontology, Professor R. S. Lull, came with his chief assistant, Hugh Gibb, and they made a fine collection for the University.
In 1906, Professor F. B. Loomis of Amherst College, an early, able and active paleontologist, joined the collectors with a good-sized party of advanced students. They collected in a small hill which turned out to be a comparatively minor deposit, which Loomis called Amherst Point. However, during the summer of 1907, the Amherst College field party found fragments of a Stenomylus about two miles east of Carnegie Hill. During that season a few shattered fragments were collected; but, on returning the next season the same levels were further excavated, and a fine deposit of these skeletons was discovered. No less than eighteen skulls together with enough disarticulated remains to complete the skeletons were found. Following this, Yale University collected three skeletons, the American Museum five or six skeletons and the Carnegie Museum the same number. During the season of 1909, the Carnegie Museum again collected in this quarry. Remains of other animals are very scarce in these sandstones, but a few isolated bones of Diceratherium, a small double-horned rhinoceros, and the major part of a skeleton of Daphaenodon superbus Peterson, a large dog, and a few bird bones have been found.
Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn, President of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, conducted many research projects at Agate beginning in 1910. That summer several of the American Museum's top technicians and scientific men were there. The chief collector was Albert Thompson. He collected at Agate for about twenty years.
The Field Museum of Natural History (now the Chicago Natural History Museum) collected at the quarries. Other institutions who sent collecting parties in later years include: Chicago University, Harvard University, Princeton University, the Colorado Museum of Natural History, the U. S. National Museum under Dr. J. W. Gidley. the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, the Royal Ontario Museum, and many others.

News outlets report on a variety of state health policy issues.
The Washington Post: Virginia Officials Prepare To Release Draft Abortion Regulations
Virginia health officials are planning to release draft emergency regulations for abortion clinics as soon as Friday that reproductive-health activists say could impose strict physical, staffing and equipment requirements and could force many of the state's clinics to close. The General Assembly passed legislation this year mandating that Virginia's abortion clinics be regulated like hospitals. Currently, they are treated like doctor's offices (Sun and Kumar, 8/25).
The Associated Press/San Francisco Chronicle: Senate Gets Bill Regulating Health Insurance Rates
A key legislative committee approved a bill Thursday to give state regulators the power to reject proposed health insurance rate increases, but the measure faces a stiff fight on the California Senate floor. .. Even if it's passed by the Senate, the bill's fate with Gov. Jerry Brown is uncertain. His administration has warned about the potential for millions of dollars in new costs that could be incurred through hearings and appeals (Weintraub, 8/25).
The Sacramento Bee: California Bill On Epilepsy Medication Bucks Opposition From Teachers, Nurses
It's not often that the Democratic-controlled Legislature takes a stand against the state's Democratic Party chairman and the labor unions that are the party's main allies. But that's what happened Thursday, when a key legislative committee voted to move forward with a bill that would let school employees who are not nurses administer epilepsy medicine to children having seizures (Rosenhall, 8/26).
The Associated Press/Missoulian: State Employee Unions Say They Have Guarantee Health Premiums Won't Increase
The (Montana) employee unions say they have secured a guarantee that employee health insurance premiums won't go up in 2012 even as they continue to fight the state over a pay freeze imposed by the Legislature. The unions said Thursday that employees were facing a five percent cut in take home pay if employee premiums would have increased as expected in 2012 (Gouras, 8/25).
The Lexington Herald-Leader: As Many As 605 Refugees In Kentucky Could Lose Benefits Without Congressional Action
Although they're here legally, up to 605 elderly and disabled refugees in the state stand to lose their Supplemental Security Income benefits if Congress doesn't act by Sept. 30, according to local advocates. … SSI is a federal benefit program that provides a $674 base monthly income to people who can't work because of their advanced age or disability or blindness … Many of the refugees who could lose their benefits next month are unable to successfully take and pass citizenship tests in English because of their disabilities, according to Rev. Patrick Delahanty, Executive Director of the Frankfort-based Catholic Conference of Kentucky (Honeycutt Spears, 8/26).
Georgia Health News: Agency Outlines Spending To Meet Justice Pact
The state agency overseeing mental health and disabilities services is facing budget cuts, but it still plans to spend hefty amounts to meet the goals of a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. ... In that landmark 2010 accord, the state promised to establish community services, including supported housing, for about 9,000 people with mental illness ... Georgia pledged to stop putting people with developmental disabilities in the state's psychiatric hospitals (Miller, 8/25).
Los Angeles Times: California Mental Health Executive Wasted Public Funds, Audit Finds
An appointee of former Gov. Pete Wilson wasted more than $51,000 hobnobbing with celebrities — attending events including the Golden Globe Awards, World Magic Awards and a Julio Iglesias concert — while claiming he was recruiting for an anti-stigma program at the Department of Mental Health, a state audit said Thursday (McGreevy, 8/26).

Puss in Boots
As an avid follower of the Shrek animation, I was excited a couple of years ago when I heard that Puss in Boots is going to star in his own movie. I felt like smoking Rocky Patel cigars because I wanted to feel good. I watched the movie. The plot was to steal the golden eggs along with Humpty Dumpty an old friend he had a fall out with and a black cat named Kitty Softpaws. Unfortunately I was expecting a bit too much from this. There are good moments but I felt they could have done more.
