CT scans in childhood may raise cancer risk: study
June 8, 2012, 12:35 am TWN
PARIS--Children exposed to multiple CT scans could be up to three times likelier to contract cancer of the blood, brain or bone marrow later in life, according to research published Thursday.
Writing in The Lancet medical journal, a team of scientists in Canada, Britain and the United States said the cancer risk, in absolute terms, appears to be small.
But they appealed for radiation doses from CT scans to be kept at a minimum and for alternatives to be used where appropriate.
The researchers claimed their study was the first to provide direct evidence of a link between exposure from CT radiation in childhood and later cancer risk.
"Of utmost importance is that where CT is used, it is only used where fully justified from a clinical perspective," said lead author Mark Pearce of Newcastle University's Institute of Health and Society.
As a vital diagnostic technique, use of the CT scan has increased rapidly in the past 10 years, particularly in the United States, the researchers said.
"However, potential cancer risks exist due to the ionizing radiation used in CT scans, especially in children who are more radiosensitive than adults."
Computerized tomography — commonly known as CT — is an X-ray technique that produces images of the body's internal structures in cross sections.

Hampden Township commissioners have appointed Don Gutshall as interim highway superintendent to replace Gerald Shenk, who is retiring.
Gutshall, who was the township emergency vehicle technician and master mechanic, will be paid $28.60 an hour. He must complete a one-year probationary period.
The board also voted, during its Thursday meeting, to affirm Manager Mike Gossert's June 11 decision to remove Kelly Coons from her post as manager of the township pool.
Officials did not disclose a reason for the dismissal, citing confidentiality rules. Commissioners will advertise for a replacement
In other personnel business, the board named West Shore School District student John Kocsis as the new junior commissioner. He will take his seat in September and serve through August 2010.
In addition, several seasonal, part-time workers were hired to work in the recreation and highway departments this summer.

Kudos to Director Jackie Apodaca and the entire cast of William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew."
I had the pleasure of seeing this production on Sunday at the Island Shakespeare Festival's venue in Langley. The Wild West setting certainly added a unique twist and lively spark to William's tale. Each actor was excellent in his/her role.
If you know of someone who is not familiar with Shakespeare, this imaginative presentation is a great way to ease them into the bard's domain.

MOBILE, Alabama - Arkansas State players swept the awards at Sunday's GoDaddy Bowl game. The Red Wolves defeated Ball State 23-20 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, using a late touchdown to take the lead and a blocked field goal on the game's final play to secure the victory.
Backup quarterback Fredi Knighten, who threw a 13-yard strike to Allen Muse for the game-winning touchdown with 32 seconds to play was named the game's Most Valuable Player. He stepped in for injured starter Adam Kennedy and passed for 115 yards, completing 15 of 20 passes. He also rushed for 97 yards on 19 carries.
Wide receiver J.D. McKissic was named the game's Offensive MVP, a repeat performance for the sophomore from Phenix City, who also won the award in last year's game. McKissic caught nine passes for 72 yards, had two carries for 21 yards and returned one punt for 10 yards.
Qushaun Lee, with an interception he returned 33 yards and 15 total tackles, was named the game's Defensive MVP. He was the Red Wolves' leading tackler this season.
Placekicker Brian Davis was named the Special teams MVP. He connected on three of four field goals and scored 11 points. His field goals covered 41, 18 and 29 yards.
NOW THERE ARE FIVE: With the win, Arkansas State joins Tulsa. Miami of Ohio, Marshall and Southern Miss as teams with two victories in the GoDaddy Bowl. The Red Wolves, with this year's appearance, it's third straight in the game, leads all teams in GoDaddy Bowl appearances.
SUN BELT UNBEATEN: Arkansas State's win gave the Sun Belt Conference a perfect 2-0 record in bowl games. Louisiana-Lafayette defeated Tulane 24-21 in the New Orleans Bowl in December. Seven of the league's eight teams were bowl eligible, including South Alabama, but only two teams secured bowl invitations. Four South Alabama opponents earned bowl berths and those teams - Lafayette, Arkansas State, Tulane and Navy - posted a 3-1 record, which is the best possible record since two of the teams played against each other in New Orleans.
HALFTIME TIE: Sunday's game marked only the second time in the GoDaddy Bowl's history the game was tied at halftime. Arkansas State and Ball State were tied 10-10 at the half. The only other time was in the 2000 game when Southern Miss and TCU played. The teams were tied 7-7 after the first two periods of play.
WENNING BREAKS RECORD: With his performance in Sunday's game, Ball State quarterback Keith Wenning became the first quarterback in Ball State history to pass for more than 4,000 yards in a season. He threw for 215 yards in the game, giving him 4,148 passing yards for the season. He is the sixth quarterback in Mid-American Conference history to surpass the 4,000-yard plateau.
OOPS: An accident took place late in Sunday's game. As the sizable GoDaddy Bowl trophy was being carried out to the field in the final minutes so it would be available for presentation to the winning team, the glass portion on top of the trophy slipped off, fell to the ground and shattered. Officials said the glue holding the glass in place apparently had not completely solidified.
LATE AP PHOTOGRAPHER REMEMBERED: Dave Martin, known as "Mullett'' by his friends and colleagues, was remembered by other photographers at Sunday's game. Martin is the Associated Press photographer who collapsed at the end of the recent Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta and died. Martin was based out of Montgomery but shot many of the top sporting events across the country and elsewhere, as well as shooting many other assignments for the AP. Martin had been assigned to shoot photographs for the AP at Sunday's GoDaddy Bowl. At Monday's BCS National Championship Game he will be honored by other photographers.

Have you ever been to Epcot? The Walt Disney theme park was built to reflect Uncle Walt's vision of the ideal community, using cutting-edge technology and social innovation. That experimental prototype community of tomorrow is pretty much a reality today, but I'm not talking about Epcot itself, or even the nearby master-planned city of Celebration, Fla.
Disney has passed the torch, however inadvertently, to IBM (NYSE: IBM ) and Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO ) . With a trillion-dollar pot to share this decade alone, and more beyond that, you can expect a feeding frenzy of epic proportions. Building smart cities is a whole new ballgame, and Cisco CEO John Chambers has said that the business opportunity "may be bigger than the whole Internet."
Meet the players
IBM's travails in the "smart community" arena have been widely documented; Big Blue is a major player in hyperconnected community infrastructure and green IT operations. Cisco's presence is not as paparazzi-laden, however. And maybe we should be paying closer attention to this side of the networking giant, because the company sees an addressable market of at least $40 billion of business here over the next 10 years.
Cisco is putting the finishing touches on the data infrastructure in New Songdo, South Korea. Wired to the hilt, New Songdo is meant to become a template for ultramodern insta-build cities. This one cost $35 billion and took the better part of a decade to complete; the development team hopes to learn from the experience and then cut down on both costs and building speed.
It also didn't help that the ground under New Songdo was open water at the start of the project -- it takes a while to raise artificial islands. Cisco and its allies have the first Songdo clone under construction already, and wants to spit out at least 20 more of them just for starters. When the process becomes more refined and standardized, there's no telling how many modern, quick-build cities could pop up in New Songdo's wake. Population growth is a real problem in many parts of the world, and standard of living matters everywhere.
Cisco's globalization chief Wim Elfrink calls this "the industrialization of the Internet. First voice became a packet in a network; video is a packet in a network. Now, electricity, safety and security can also become packets in a network." And so it goes. Elfrink sees a $1.2 trillion global investment in "smart" urban infrastructure and is happy to grab a few percent of that. IBM is a sometime partner already, and Cisco also works arm-in-arm with more tangible technology giants like 3M (NYSE: MMM ) and United Technologies (NYSE: UTX ) to complete the information-packed framework of tomorrow's quick-build cities.
When tomorrow comes
Whether you think of Cisco's turnkey Tomorrowlands as a utopian fantasy, as the next logical step in suburban sprawl, or as the best way to corral and house everyone in a growing world, there is clearly big business at stake. I'm only surprised that more multinational giants haven't jumped into this market with both feet.
Cisco beat out Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) to land the New Songdo contract, and now you don't hear a peep about smart grids out of Redmond. If anybody knows how to analyze endless piles of seemingly random data, it would be Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) , but the closest thing Big G has to a "smart city" project is its investments in green energy generation. Close, but no cigar. These sharks must eventually join the feeding frenzy. The longer they wait, the more time IBM and Cisco will have to establish larger mindshares and market shares in this crucial, formative period.
Uncle Walt's Epcot dream is becoming a reality, under the stewardship of others.

A 23-year-old Saline resident was arrested Sunday by Pittsfield Township Police after he was accused of pointing a handgun toward an SUV that he believed had cut him off in traffic.
The man was charged with felonious assault and released pending further investigation in the case.
According to a release from the Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety, the man was driving a motorcycle and got into an argument with the driver of the SUV.
The argument between the motorcyclist and the driver of the SUV continued as they drove down the road until the motorcycle driver, who had a valid concealed pistol license permit, produced a handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the SUV.
Police took the man into custody in a nearby business parking lot, and a handgun was recovered. No one was injured.
Witnesses to the incident are encouraged to call the Pittsfield Police at 734-822-4911.

Photolysis of Methane by Vacuum‐Ultraviolet Light39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734381View Description Hide Description
Methanephotolysis with light of wavelength down to 1050 Å has shown that product propane does not result from reaction of the ethane that is produced. The distribution of products is very similar to the distribution found in the radiolysis of methane. This result indicates that both photolysis and radiolysis of methane proceeds mainly by a free‐radical process and/or by reactions of excited molecules, rather than by reactions of ions. A mechanism involving insertion of the ethylidene radical is proposed to account for the results.
Dark Conductivity of Cationic Dye Photoconductors39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734382View Description Hide Description
A theory is put forth to account for the dark conduction in cationic dyes, which assumes thermal excitation from ground state to conductiveexcited state, followed by trapping of the hole at the anion. It is applicable in principle to any case in which charge carriers are separated by an intrinsic thermal process which is followed by deep trapping of the minority carrier. Where such processes take place, measurements of thermally excited conduction will in general lead to one of three results when interpreted by simple equilibrium theory: the correct activation energy will be found, but the mobility inferred will be impossibly high; or, the mobility will be of the correct order of magnitude, but the activation energy will be too low; or both will be incorrect. The theory is applied to data for dark conduction in eight triphenylmethane dye halides; it is shown to account for the observed thermal activation energies in terms of optical energy levels, and to lead to mobilities which are similar and of acceptable magnitude.
Perturbation Theory and the Hellmann—Feynman Theorem39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734383View Description Hide Description
By using the Hellmann—Feynman theorem in conjunction with an operator formulation of perturbation theory it is shown that, while for a general Hamiltonian an energy derivative is determined only to order n by an nth‐order wavefunction (Salem and Wilson), for a restricted class of systems it is determined to order n+1, and by restricting the class somewhat further one can obtain energy derivatives to order 2n+1. The example of the force between two atoms interacting through dispersion type forces is briefly discussed.
Hysteresis in the Palladium—Hydrogen System39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734384View Description Hide Description
When hydrogen is dissolved in palladium, the α phase forms first; the β phase nucleates and grows in this. Because of the large volume change which accompanies the α‐to‐β transition, plastic deformation of the α phase occurs as it is stretched beyond its elastic limit. Hence, absorption is accompanied by growth of the β phase under compressive stress of the α phase, but desorption take place from the β phase of the plastically deformed solid. Since this is not a thermodynamically reversible process, hysteresis results. It is shown that the absorption loop of the isotherm can be calculated from the desorption loop and the yield strength of the metal. Some reinterpretation of earlier theories is presented.
Thermoelectric Effect in Single‐Crystal Cuprous Oxide at High Temperatures39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734385View Description Hide Description
The thermoelectric effect in single‐crystal cuprous oxide, measured at temperatures of 500° to 1130°C and oxygen pressuresP of 160 to 2×10—6 Torr, was found always to be positive, indicating that the material is a p‐type semiconductor in these ranges of conditions.
Plots of the thermoelectric power Q vs 1/T at different constant oxygen pressures yield parallel straight lines with a slope of 0.75 V. Plots of Q vs logP are mostly straight lines with slopes approximating (—2.3k) / (8q), in which k is Boltzmann's constant and q is the electronic charge.
These results can be explained fairly satisfactorily in terms of a modified Wagner model for the defect structure of Cu2O and existing theories of the thermoelectric effect in semiconductors. It is assumed that the concentration of acceptors is a function of both the oxygen pressure and the temperature and that a gradient of acceptors exists along the temperature gradient. Thus, the model shows that the factor 8, originally obtained from conductivitymeasurements, should also be contained in the slope of Q vs logP. The slope of 0.75 V for the plot of Q vs 1/T can be related to the energy of creating an acceptor, i.e., a copper atom vacancy, plus the energy of ionizing this acceptor.
Natural Expansions of Exact Wavefunctions. III. The Helium‐Atom Ground State39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734386View Description Hide Description
A wavefunction similar to the Kinoshita function has been analyzed into natural orbitals. As it was for the hydrogen molecule, the first natural orbital for helium is very nearly the SCF function. The first three natural orbitals describe the atom quite well. These three terms give an energy of —2.8974 hartrees and an overlap with the exact wavefunction of 0.99979. Beyond these three terms, the natural expansion converges slowly with many terms required to even approximately fit the cusp in the correlation hole.
Crystal‐Field Spectra of d 3, d 7 Ions. II. KCoF3, CoCl2, CoBr2, and CoWO439(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734387View Description Hide Description
Detailed absorption spectra of crystals containing cobalt (II) in octahedral or slightly distorted octahedral sites are reported. Prime consideration has been given to the observation of the doublet states and the assignments are discussed in relation to a four‐parameter crystal field theory (Dq, ζ, B, and C).
Crystal‐Field Spectra of d 3,7 Ions. III. Spectrum of Cr3+ in Various Octahedral Crystal Fields39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734388View Description Hide Description
The spectra of eight crystals containing trivalent chromium have been measured, and the energy levels fitted to a four‐parameter crystal‐field theory. The values of the parameters derived from the spectra are discussed, and some mechanisms responsible for absorption intensities are evaluated.
Radiative Lifetime of Triplet Biacetyl39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734389View Description Hide Description
Absolute quantum yields of phosphorescence of biacetyl have been obtained in fluid and rigid solutions. In fluid solutions, the measurements were made relative to the quinine bisulfate standard and in rigid media, relative to benzophenone. The values obtained have been taken together with the known triplet‐state lifetimes of biacetyl in these media to calculate the radiative lifetime of triplet biacetyl. These results compare favorably with the radiative lifetime of biacetyl triplet in the gas phase, calculated in a similar manner using available data on the phosphorescence yield and the actual mean life in the vapor.
Absorption Coefficients of Xenon and Argon in the 600–1025 Å Wavelength Regions39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734390View Description Hide Description
Absorption coefficients of xenon and argon have been measured at wavelengths between the ionization threshold (Xe, 1023 Å; Ar, 787 Å) and 600 Å. Similar measurements have recently been reported by us for krypton [Appl. Opt., September 1963]. A photoelectric scanning technique with a Hopfield helium continuum source as background was used at a bandwidth of 0.5 Å. The oscillator strengths of the auto‐ionized lines which belong to the two overlapping series p 6(1 S 0) —p 5(2 P ½)ns′ and p 6(1 S 0) —p 5(2 P ½)nd′ and which occur between the and 2 P ½ionization limits were calculated from the measured absorption coefficient curve. The total oscillator strength was 0.60±25% for the first six Xe peaks and 0.011±25% for the first four Ar peaks. For xenon, the k value is 2100 cm—1±10% at the 2 P ½ threshold, and it drops smoothly to 1050 cm—1 at 600 Å. For argon, the k value is 930±10% at the 2 P ½ threshold, and the curve rises smoothly to 1200 cm—1 at 600 Å. In both cases, no lines or thresholds were observed at wavelengths shorter than the 2 P ½ threshold. Comparison is made with ionization efficiency data.
Absorption Coefficients of Nitrogen in the 1000–580 Å Wavelength Region39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734391View Description Hide Description
Absorption coefficients of molecular nitrogen have been measured with a photoelectric scanning technique using an intense, stabilized Hopfield helium‐continuum light source as background. These measurements differ from previous investigations where line sources were used as background. The measurements have been done with an instrumental bandwidth of 0.5 Å over a pressure range of 0.040 to 0.17 mm Hg using an absorption cell placed behind the exit slit of a vacuum monochromator. Corrections were made for the pressure gradient in the flow‐absorption cell, for the scattered light, and for fluorescence. From 1000 to 796 Å, the first ionization threshold (N2 +, X 2Σ g +), a number of sharp, intense bands are present with no evidence of a dissociation continuum. Below 796 Å, the ionization continuum appears to rise slowly to 400 cm—1 at 742 Å (N2 +, A 2II u ), but this region is also crowded with many intense bands. Most of these appear to be strongly preionized. Between 742 Å and the threshold of the B 2Σ u + state at 661 Å, the ionization continuum increases from roughly 400 to 780 cm—1, and the pre‐ionized Hopfield Rydberg series is the main feature. At 661 Å, the absorption coefficient rises abruptly to 980 cm—1 and continues at approximately this constant value to 580 Å. The present results are compared whenever possible with previous measurements and discussed in relation to photo‐ionization measurements. Application of this data to calculation of absorption processes in the upper atmosphere is discussed.
Energy Exchange between a Hot Tungsten Surface and Cold Gases39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734392View Description Hide Description
The exchange of energy between a tungsten filament heated at 1710° to 2500°K and cold helium, neon, argon, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide was studied at gas pressures from 0.1 to 10 μ Hg. The exchange of energy was found to be directly proportional to the gas pressure in the 1‐ to 10‐μ range but essentially independent of the filament temperature. The results are interpreted in terms of a process in which the impinging gas molecules are first physically adsorbed, then heated until they gain sufficient thermal energy to overcome the attractive forces of the tungsten surface. On the average, the gas molecules then desorb at a critical temperature that is independent of the filament temperature. For the gases studied, the critical temperatures lie between 580° and 1070°K. Reaction efficiencies of oxygen and carbon dioxide were calculated from the irreversible change in the rate of power consumption of the filament produced by introduction of these gases.
Two‐Photon Excitation of Phosphorescence and Fluorescence39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734393View Description Hide Description
The emission of a charge‐transfer complex excited by the two‐photon absorption of a laser beam has been investigated. The emission spectra and ratio of phosphorescence to fluorescence have been compared for laser and ultraviolet excitation and are the same indicating that all of the observed processes are the result of the excitation of the charge‐tranfer state.
Electron Spin Resonance of Some Arylsulfenyl Radicals39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734394View Description Hide Description
Radicals formed by vapor pyrolysis of β, β′ dinaphthyl and diphenyldisulfide have been studied by electron spin resonance. In each case one of the radicals, identified as the arylsulfenyl radical, shows a large g‐value anisotropy in the spectrum. The observed anisotropies are interpreted in terms of the spin—orbit coupling which mixes two states of different orbital angular momentum. The spin densities in one of the states are calculated using a perturbation treatment, according to McLachlan, to allow for the difference in orbitals occupied by different sets of electrons in a nonclosed shell system. The energy differences of the two states are estimated using a molecular orbital approximation. The results indicate that in the ground state of the radical the unpaired electron is localized in a nonbonding orbital of the sulfur.
Correlation of Magnetothermodynamic Data with a Theoretical Model. Powdered CoSO4·7H2O over the Range 0 to 100 kG above 1.2°K39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734395View Description Hide Description
Equations for calculating the magnetothermodynamic properties, under varied conditions of field and temperature, are presented and discussed for a model based on a theory of paramagnetism in the solid state. An averaging technique, making use of a digital computer, is derived for use in evaluating the theoreticalequations for randomly oriented crystals of paramagnetic material. These equations are applied to the magnetic system of randomly oriented crystals of CoSO4·7H2O. It was shown previously that after subtracting a small temperature independent term from the measured isothermal differential magnetic susceptibility and magnetization, the data followed an H/T function, where H is the magnetic field within the crystals. (The experimental magnetic entropy measurements were made in the liquid‐helium range of temperature. Magnetic induction measurements were made in the liquid‐helium and liquid‐hydrogentemperature ranges, and at the boiling point of liquid nitrogen.) Since CoSO4·7H2O has two different Co++ ions per unit cell, seven parameters are theoretically necessary to fit the experimental magnetothermodynamic data. These parameters are: the ``fictitious'' spin of the ground state of the Co++ ions, S′0, and the principal g values for the tensors for each of the two Co++ ions per unit cell. Lacking definitive paramagnetic resonance data for the principal values of the tensors, the assumption was used that (1) both Co++ ions per unit cell have the same tensor, and (2) two of the principal g values for the tensor are equal. Using S′0=½ and deriving the principal g values of g ⊥=1.754 and g ‖=7.528, all of the measuredtemperature‐dependent magnetothermodynamic properties could be fitted to the solid state model over the H/T range 0 to 60 000 G/deg K, the limit of the measurements, to within the estimated experimental accuracy.
Deuteron Magnetic Resonance Study of Barium Chlorate Monohydrate39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734396View Description Hide Description
Quadrupole splitting of deuteron magnetic resonance was measured for a single crystal of Ba(ClO3)2·D2O. Quadrupole coupling, asymmetry parameter, and principal axis directions of the field gradient tensor were determined at 20° and at —130°C. eqQ/h=121.5±0.4 kc/sec, η=0.976±0.007 at 20°C, and eqQ/h=243.5±1.5 kc/sec, η=0.074±0.002 at —130°C. The field gradient at room temperature shows a rapid reorientation of the water molecule in a crystal. At room temperature, the spectral line exhibits fine structure due to coupling of two spins, which was utilized to determine the sign of eqQ in the present case.
The line broadening effect in the intermediate temperature region (—45°∼—121°C) was measured and was used to obtain the reorientation rate at various temperatures. The barrier to reorientation of 6.6 kcal/mole was obtained from the comparison of the experimentally determined reorientation rate with that calculated from a tunneling process through a hindering barrier, or that of 6.5 kcal/mole from classical process. The temperature dependence of quadrupole splitting was also measured and the oscillation frequencies were derived for the torsional motion of D2O. It was found that the quadrupole coupling for a vibrationless molecule is about 12% less than that of a free molecule.
The observed eqQ, principal axis directions of field‐gradient tensor are discussed in connection with the disposition of atoms in the crystal. A qualitative explanation is given for the change of eqQ from a free molecule to that in the crystal as due to the effect of the hydrogen‐bonded oxygen atom.
Photo‐Ionization Efficiency Curves. Measurement of Ionization Potentials and Interpretation of Fine Structure39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734397View Description Hide Description
A method is described for measuring photo‐ionization efficiency (PE) curves over the energy range 9–14 eV. The method is experimentally easier than measuring the photo‐ionization cross section and gives essentially the same result. PE curves are given for Xe, O2, and NO and first ionization potentials are determined; Xe, 12.129±0.002 eV; O2, 12.065±0.003 eV; and NO, 9.250±0.005 eV. It has been established that steps in the PE curve of NO give a quantitative measure of the energies of the vibrational levels in the NO+ ion and that peaks in the curves of all three gases correspond to neutral levels that auto‐ionize. The probability laws for ionization and auto‐ionization are discussed.
Electrophilic Character of the Hg 6(3 P 1) Atom and the Mechanism of Electronic Energy Transfer in Mercury Photosensitization39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734398View Description Hide Description
It is shown that in mercury‐6(3 P 1)‐photosensitized reactions the Hg 6(3 P 1) atom behaves as a distinctly electrophilic reactant in most of its reactions and that the H/D isotope effect exhibited by some paraffin molecules with respect to the quenching reaction can be satisfactorily estimated from transition‐state theory. This interpretation of the data, taken in conjunction with the results of some recent primary process studies, point up the chemical nature of electronic energy‐transfer processes in these systems in that the transfer reaction proceeds through the formation of a well‐defined transition complex involving both substrate molecule and sensitizer atom.
Dissociative Charge Transfer in He+–O2 and He+–N2 Collisions39(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734399View Description Hide Description
The cross sections for charge transfer between He+ions and molecules of nitrogen and oxygen have been determined within the energy range 100–7700 eV. A mass spectrometer was used to analyze the secondary ions, and the dissociative and nondissociative charge‐transfer cross sections were separately determined. The observations show that in both reactions the major contribution to the total charge‐transfer cross section comes from collisions involving dissociation.
Formation of Negative Ions in SbCl339(1963); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1734400View Description Hide Description
The formation of negative ions in SbCl3 by low‐energy electrons has been investigated using a modification of a total ionization tube which allows the ion species to be determined and prevents contact potentials from affecting the electron energy in the collision region. The identification of the specific reaction taking place was obtained by modifying the total ionization tube to operate as a magnetron beyond cutoff. The mass of the ion species was then determined from an analysis of the ion current to the collector as a function of the applied axial magnetic field and the ion collector bias. The electron‐energy distribution had an effective width at half‐height of approximately 0.07 eV which was obtained using the retarding potential difference method. With the apparatus the most probable initial ion reaction was SbCl3+e→SbCl2+Cl—. The value of the dissociative capture cross section at the point of ion apparance was (1.8±0.3) × 10—16 cm2, and the minimum energy of the electron for the appearance of ions was approximately 0.01 eV at a gas temperature range 25°—50°C. The dissociation energy for the reaction SbCl3→SbCl2+Cl was 3.69±0.15 eV.

'Lee Daniels' The Butler' takes less crowded original screenplay path under 'inspired by' classification
You may have heard about Wil Haygood's 2008 Washington Post article "A Butler Well Served by This Election," which told the story of Eugene Allen, an African American butler who served 30 years of presidents in the White House, from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan. His story, and that article, became the inspiration for the film "Lee Daniels' The Butler," and in some ways, it could be argued as an adapted screenplay.
However, surely sensing that there was leeway, and no doubt taking note of how typically competitive the Best Adapted Screenplay race is this year, The Weinstein Company has kept the rhetoric on "inspired by." Ergo, the distributor will be angling for Best Original Screenplay consideration on the awards circuit. I called the WGA's credits department this afternoon, and indeed, the guild classifies the script original as well.
Given the liberties taken with Allen's story, this isn't really a surprise. We've been running on an adapted assumption around here but there we are. But I'm nevertheless reminded of a somewhat similar situation back in 2005 regarding the screenplay for Stephen Gaghan's "Syriana." I remember it well because I broke the story.
In a nutshell, the screenplay for that film was campaigned as adapted from Robert Baer's book "See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism," and the guild nominated it as such. It was also nominated for a USC Scripter Award, recognizing adapted screenplays and the subject matter that spawned them. George Clooney went on to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for portraying a Baer-like figure.
The circumstance was unique because the Academy made its decision to classify the screenplay as original in December, yet no one really knew this was the case until ballots went out with reminder sheets featuring "Syriana" in the that category. In the end, the script was in fact nominated for Best Original Screenplay, making it one of few scripts to have ever been nominated in one category by the WGA and another by the Academy.
Will the Academy also consider "Lee Daniels' The Butler" an original? Well, yeah, probably. It's a stretch to argue that it's an adaptation, even if you can buy a deluxe edition of Allen's story with the film's key art on the cover. But it's always worth taking note of these nuances. After all, Stephen Gaghan wasn't even made aware of the Academy's decision on his script until a week before the Oscar nominations were announced in January of 2006.
I imagine there will be attention paid to "The Butler" in any case. The film will already be undergoing arbitration to decipher which of the five individuals credited with "produced by" will be eligible if it is nominated for PGA or Best Picture Oscar honors, particularly given that this is a film with a whopping 41 producer credits (associate, executive, co-, etc.) in total.
For now, though, chalk it up as an original screenplay, and one facing a much easier road to a nomination for writer Danny Strong as a result.

A former Portland State University executive is suing the school, claiming he was demoted and treated unfairly because he is African American.
Douglas Samuels filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court this week, naming the state board of higher education and PSU as defendants. Samuels claims the university violated his civil rights when it demoted him to a teaching post in 2005. He is seeking $500,000 in economic damages and reinstatement to his senior post.
According to the lawsuit, he was hired as vice provost for student affairs on July 1, 2001. Four years later the university offered him a lower paying post as a non-tenured associate professor in the school's black studies department. He accepted the post.
Samuels claims he was treated differently from his white colleagues. He says he was "subjected to unfair treatment regarding pay equity and faculty appointment because of his race."
He says he was the subject of an internal investigation and the university spread information about him "in a fashion that was not done with similarly situated senior white employees."
Samuels says the school "historically presented an unwelcoming and discriminatory environment as it related to African American faculty and staff who were and are woefully unrepresented and underrepresented in positions of authority at Portland State University.
"Treatment of plaintiff was part of a pattern and practice of discrimination against African Americans at Portland State University," the suit states.
University officials were not immediately available for comment this morning.
According to the school newspaper, Vanguard, Samuels holds a doctorate of education from the University of Vermont and other degrees from State University College at Buffalo, N.Y.

I hadn't heard much from the Jude Law camp recently other than a strange looking movie he's has coming out with Michael Caine. So following the cardinal law of all celebrities Law decided to take the easy way to publicity and jumped the Papz. Normally I'd completely disregard the whole "allegedly" tidbit below, but considering Law looks like he could get whipped by a Girl Scout troop I'll hold judgment. The Associated Press reports:
Police arrested Jude Law for allegedly attacking a photographer outside his London home, British media reported Wednesday.
The 34-year-old actor allegedly tried to grab the photographer's camera during the incident on Tuesday, Britain's Press Association said. He was released on bail and must return to a London police station in October.
Police would not directly confirm the report, but said a 34-year-old man from Law's neighborhood was arrested on suspicion of causing bodily harm. Police added the man voluntarily went to a police station for questioning.
Nicely done there, Jude.

GLOUCESTER — The Gloucester and Gloucester Catholic high school girls basketball rivalry game has for years been one of the best around, but with the Rams entering play Saturday as the No. 1 team in the South Jersey Times Top 15 and both teams standing at 9-0 there was a little something extra in the air.
The Lions were out to prove they belonged on the same court as a team ranked fourth in the state by The Star-Ledger, and they did for much of the game. But an ice-cold stretch coming out of the locker room after halftime lasted far too long, and Catholic was able to pad its lead and come away with a 46-34 Tri-County Conference interdivision win.
"We can hang with them, we showed it (Saturday)," said Gloucester senior guard Alisha Fox, who finished with a team-high 16 points. "They got their run going on, but the only reason they had that run is because we missed our shots. To stick with them like that, down two going into the second half, Gloucester was a little underrated — but that's just my opinion."
"We didn't play well defensively the whole game, but I thought we improved a little bit in the second half," Rams coach Lisa Gedaka said. "The game never flowed for us, I think we had spurts. But give Gloucester credit, I thought defensively they did exactly what I thought they'd do ... and they did well."
The teams all but traded baskets in the first half, with a 6-0 run by Catholic at the foul line helping them to a 19-17 lead at the break. But Gloucester went more than five minutes of the third quarter without a point and made just 1-of-18 shots from the field to start the second half, with Fox and Kylee Hirst (12 points, nine rebounds, four blocks) accounting for all 17 of the team's second-half points.
As Gedaka noted the Rams never really heated up, but did manage a key outburst at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarter that helped put the game out of reach. After a pair of Hirst foul shots in the final seconds of the third, a court-length pass to Maggie McIntyre resulted in a layup ahead of the horn to give Catholic a 29-22 edge.
Mary Gedaka then converted a layup and foul shot for a three-point play, and Becky Pund drained a 3-pointer on the next possession to expand the cushion to 35-24. The lead never dipped below nine the rest of the way.
"After we got out of the locker room, our momentum just changed completely," said Mary Gedaka, who had a game-high 18 points and 15 rebounds. "I feel like we were a little dysfunctional in the beginning with the passes and the defense. We started playing our basketball much better in the second half."
Pund added 11 points, five rebounds and four assists, while McIntyre quietly put up nine points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. It wasn't a great game for the Rams — they shot only 33 percent (14-of-42) from the floor — but the most important thing was that it was a win, particularly over Gloucester in front of a capacity crowd. And it wasn't a lost effort for the Lions, either.
"The more people the better, come on out," McIntyre said. "The crowd's nuts, you've got to zone them out. It's every year, this game it doesn't matter the records. Anybody can win. Sean (Gorman's a) great coach (at Gloucester). I think it's whoever is mentally tougher wins this game. They played just as hard as we did, I'm happy we came out on top."
"I think without a doubt our kids can walk out of this saying we fell short to a team that deserves a lot of credit," said Gorman. "But we know if we tighten up these few areas here and there, we're going to be able to accomplish a lot."

Signs of the Times
Christians Flee Sectarian Violence in Iraq
Half of all Iraqi Christians have fled their country since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, said the auxiliary bishop of Baghdad. Auxiliary Bishop Andreos Abouna of Baghdad, a Chaldean Catholic, said that before the invasion there were about 1.2 million Christians in the predominantly Shiite Muslim state. Since then the overall number has dropped to about 600,000, he said. What we are hearing now is the alarm bell for Christianity in Iraq, the bishop said. When so many are leaving from a small community like ours, you know that it is dangerousdangerous for the future of the church in Iraq. The bishop said 75 percent of Christians from Baghdad had fled the capital to escape the almost daily outbreaks of sectarian violence. Since the beginning of the war, the number of Chaldean Catholics, who make up the country's most numerous Christian denomination, had dropped below half a million from 800,000, he said. Many sought new lives mostly in the neighboring countries of Syria, Jordan and Turkey, he added. Bishop Abouna thought it unlikely that many of those who had emigrated would return. The bishop spoke from Iraq on Aug. 1 with Aid to the Church in Need UK, a Catholic charity that supports the Chaldean Catholic community in Iraq. About 97 percent of the country's total 27 million Iraqis are Shiite and Sunni Muslims; Christians make up the majority of the remaining 3 percent. The Chaldean Catholics speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
Japan's Catholic Bishops on Peace
Japan's Catholic bishops strongly oppose efforts under way to change their nation's constitutional renunciation of warfare, the president of the bishops' Japan Catholic Council for Justice and Peace said during a visit to Washington. In an interview on Aug. 2 with Catholic News Service, the council head, Auxiliary Bishop Michael Goro Matsuura of Osaka, said North Korean saber-rattling and pressures from the Bush administration were contributing to the erosion of the commitment to nonbelligerency that Japan has upheld as part of its constitution for the past 60 years. More people are beginning to think we should not have Article 9, he said, referring to the antiwar provision in the Japanese constitution. It says in part that the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat of the use of force as a means of settling international disputes.... The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized. Bishop Matsuura said the closer collaboration of U.S. armed forces in Japan with the Japanese Self-Defense Force and other measures established by a U.S.-Japanese agreement last October threaten to draw the Self-Defense Force out of its traditional limited posturein which not a single Japanese soldier has killed or been killed in combat for more than 60 yearsinto a new posture as combatants in the global war on terrorism.
War Disrupts Schools in Lebanon
Instead of getting ready for a new school year, the head of the Jesuit-run College of Notre Dame in Jamhour, Lebanon, is sending students and alumni to help feed displaced people and filling out the papers parents need to enroll many of the students in schools abroad. Salim Daccache, S.J., rector of Notre Dame, said 200 students and alumni are in Beirut helping students and alumni at St. Joseph University, also conducted by the Jesuits, prepare and serve 1,000 hot meals each day for the displaced. In a telephone interview on Aug. 4, he said he would not be sending any students that day because overnight some bridges were bombed, so our links with Beirut have been destroyed. Notre Dame is located less than 10 miles southeast of Beirut. But the real problem is that it is less than a mile from a Lebanese army garrison, which also has attracted Israeli bombardment. No one has been injured at Notre Dame, he said, but many of the classrooms no longer have glass in the windows, and dozens of doors need to be repaired or replaced.
Volatility of Middle East Will Probably Continue
A cease-fire may stop the immediate destruction in Lebanon, but new wars are bound to erupt in the region as long as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues, said a church expert on the Middle East. Samir Khalil Samir, S.J., an Egyptian-born expert on Islam who teaches in Beirut, Lebanon, said a long-term solution to the region's problems must include Israeli recognition of a Palestinian state, Arab recognition of the state of Israel and the disarming of all militias, including the Lebanese-based Hezbollah. What is needed is the courage to find a definitive solution. This problem has been going on for decades, and it's like a cancer that keeps changing forms, Father Samir wrote in a commentary published on Aug. 5 by AsiaNews, a Rome-based missionary news agency. Father Samir said Hezbollah should have been disarmed years ago, in line with U.N. resolutions, but the organization has gained popular support largely because of the expansionist policies of Israel.
Closeness to Death Makes Orphans Tough
One thing the 186 students at St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School in Nairobi have in common is that they've all watched at least one person dietheir mother, their father or both. Dying of AIDS is a variable processAIDS patients get different series of opportunistic infections, and no two people in a slum like Nairobi's Kibera have exactly the same access to medical care. Still, losing parents, suffering through their family's impoverishment, along with the fear and stigma associated with AIDS, is a powerful bonding experience for the orphans at St. Aloysius. It makes them tough. In Kibera, most children are really suffering, said Vincent Odiambo, a St. Aloysius student who wants to become a journalist. Once you lose your parents, you don't know where to go. If he were writing for a newspaper, Odiambo said, he would want to tell delegates to the XVI International AIDS Conference on Aug.13-18 in Toronto about stigma and discrimination.
Exhibit Highlights Women Religious as Pioneers
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious is putting together an exhibit titled Pioneers, Poets and Prophets to tell the story of the impact that more than 220,000 women religious have had on the United States since before it was an independent nation. In 1727, the first missionaries, nine Ursuline sisters, arrived in New Orleans from France. Sister Carole Shinnick, a School Sister of Notre Dame and L.C.W.R.'s executive director, said the exhibit will educate and celebrate and also refute stereotypes some people have about nuns. She said it will educate people, for example, about the brave missionaries who helped shape the United States, the sisters who have been leaders in the women's rights movement and those who are advocates for the poor. Fewer and fewer persons have direct experiences with religious. When you don't know the information, stereotypes arise. We hope to address stereotypes about sisters, Sister Carole said in an interview with Catholic News Service.
Still Something to Sing About
Music ministers should focus on building bridges and creating unity, speakers said at the western regional convention of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians in Sacramento, Calilf., on Aug. 1-4. The principle that all are one in the body of the Lord is more important than cultural, ideological, musical or liturgical differences, they said. We need to resist going down the black hole of anger regarding how we translate our texts, what we will sing or which musical styles are most appropriate for our Masses, said the liturgical composer David Haas in an opening keynote address on Aug. 1. We still have something wonderful to sing about: God is still here, calling all of us to receive what we have been given from God as gift and give it back lavishly in service to the Lord and one another, he added.
Catholic Charities Shifts Focus of Adoption Activities
Catholic Charities of San Francisco, Calif., announced on Aug. 2 that it would no longer be involved in the child adoption activities of home studies, family and child matching, adoptive placements or finalizations, the last formal step of the adoption process. Instead, it said, its adoption-related efforts and resources will shift to education, outreach, information-sharing and linking prospective adoptive parents to county and private adoption agencies. The shift allows the agency to continue promoting adoption without entering areas of conflict between the church's teaching against adoption by same-sex couples and civil laws requiring adoption agencies not to discriminate against such couples when placing adoptive children. San Francisco's Archbishop George H. Niederauer, chairman of Catholic Charities, said in media interviews that he told board members in March that the agency could not be involved in direct adoptions, but he wished to find ways to serve the adoption community that were compatible with both Catholic moral teaching and the requirements of civil law.
African Priests Told to Stop Traditional Healing
Southern African bishops have told priests they can no longer act as traditional African healers. Priests must desist from ubuNgoma' (traditional healing) practices involving spirits and channel their ministries of healing through the sacraments and sacramentals of the church, said the bishops of the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference, which represents South Africa, Botswana and Swaziland. In a pastoral letter dated Aug. 11, the bishops expressed concern that many African Christians, during difficult moments in their lives, resort to practices of the traditional religion: the intervention of ancestral spirits, the engagement of spirit-mediums, spirit-possession, consulting diviners about lost items and about the future, magical practices and identifying one's enemies. Fear of the spirit world is intensified instead of the love of the ever merciful God definitively revealed by Christ through his death and resurrection, they said. More disturbing is the fact that some priests, religious and lay Catholics have resorted to becoming diviner-healers and call on the ancestors for healing.
Willebrands, Ecumenical Leader, Dies at 96
Cardinal Johannes Willebrands, a driving force behind improved Catholic relations with other Christians and with Jews, died in Denekamp, Netherlands, on Aug. 2 at the age of 96. Pope Benedict XVI offered his prayers for the late cardinal, saying he humbly served Christ and worked tirelessly to fulfill Christ's will that all his followers would be one. I give thanks to the Lord for all the work accomplished by the cardinal in ecumenical relations, of which he was an ardent promoter from the beginning of his priesthood and in an eminent way following the Second Vatican Council, the pope said in a telegram on Aug. 2 to Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. Attracted to the topic of ecumenism while still a seminarian in the 1920's, Cardinal Willebrands was named the first secretary of the Vatican's office for promoting Christian unity in 1960 and served as president of that office from 1969 to 1989. Before, during and after the Second Vatican Council, he also was instrumental in fostering improved relations with Jewish leaders. When the Pontifical Commission for Religious Relations With the Jews was established in 1974, he was appointed president. Simultaneously, Cardinal Willebrands served as archbishop of Utrecht, Netherlands, from 1975 to 1983.
Grace Transformed Oklahoma City Bomber
When he ministered to Timothy McVeigh, known as the Oklahoma City bomber, Charles Smith, a priest of the Society of the Divine Word, found that his faith, instilled in him by loving parents despite the childhood pain of discrimination, enabled him to be Christ's representative even as the inmate verbally assaulted him. "When I first came in [to see him] I thought God is the owner of my life,' and I went to him and he threw his feces on me and called me all types of names and said, You can't be a priest because I've never seen a you-know-what as a priest,'" Father Smith said on Aug. 5. The devil was messin' with me. He made the comments in a workshop he led during the 2006 Interregional African-American Catholic Evangelization Conference, which was held on Aug. 4-6 in Atlanta, Ga. Other priests and Southern Baptist ministers had previously worked - unsuccessfully - with the man found guilty of bombing the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995 and murdering the 168 people who died from the blast. But Father Smith persevered in his ministry to McVeigh, and the convicted murderer, who was a baptized Catholic, began to repent. "He did a lot of things, but in the end we had confession, reconciliation. In the end he asked me a question a lot of people ask me. He asked, 'Father Charles, can I still get to heaven?'"

Syracuse, NY – It was a start to finish dominating performance from the Syracuse woman's basketball team in a 76-61 home victory over the University of South Florida.
In a game that it never trailed, the Orange (15-9, 4-6) continued its hot shooting knocking down 45% of its shots from the field. It was a different story for the Bulls (12-12,4-6), which was stymied by a ferocious Orange attack, managing to shoot a deceiving 33%.
Once again, Iasia Hemingway was the go-to scorer for the Cuse. The senior forward poured in a game high 24 points for the second consecutive game. The New Jersey native was not alone of the offensive end, Kayla Alexander and Elashier Hall scored 17 points and 15 points respectively.
Coach Quentin Hillsman's team led by 19 points at the break and as much as 33 in the second half.
Next up for the Orange is a Tuesday match-up with second ranked Notre Dame.

PERDIDO KEY/ORANGE BEACH, Alabama -- The 29th annual Interstate Mullet Toss and Gulf Coast's Greatest Beach Party kicks off on April 26 in Perdido Key, Fla., and Orange Beach.

Now, despite it being nearly three decades since its debut, some folks still think the Mullet Toss has got something to do with the 1990s hair style.
So if you have never heard of the Interstate Mullet Toss or wondered how it all got started nearly 30 years ago, check out AL.com beach videographer Brian Kelly team up with reporter Dennis Pillion in this video. In it, Pillion chats with 2013 Mullet Toss organizers about exactly what the Interstate Mullet Toss is, how it all began and what to expect for those who have never attended. And don't miss Pillion tossing his very first mullet from Florida to Alabama.

MUSKEGON, MI — As the first day of Muskegon Bike Time began to roll in Thursday, residents and visiting bikers alike began to see West Western Avenue transform into "Steel Horse Alley."
Traffic cones lined the center of the street in anticipation for Bike Time, which takes place from July 17-20. As spectators walked closer toward the string of bars in downtown Muskegon, more bikes could be spotted, parked in a row diagonally along either side of the street.
With more than $400 worth of tattoos on his right arm, Kirt "Bubba Glide" Lampman sat on his bike and watched in silence as others rode past.
The Fruitport resident had been to Muskegon for Bike Time before, and had a few reasons as to why he preferred this motorcycle event over others.
"This is one of the bigger ones around," Lampman said. "Muskegon has the lakeshore, and no place else can you get that. It's beautiful because you're right on the lake."
Among the riders, words like "camaraderie" and "freedom" were in use as many spoke about what it meant to ride a motorcycle.
Tom Rahn, a Jackson resident, was among those who thought of freedom when around another bike.
Since Bike Time came to Muskegon half a dozen years ago, Rahn has been to every one, promoting motorcycle riding within his own state, while trying to meet more riders who favor the open road.
"We promote motorcycle riding in this state and fight for bikers' rights," Rahn said. "Look at all the different plates that are here from out of state -- that's what we support. (Motorcycles) bring tourism to this state."
While bounce houses, tents and food stands began to emerge Thursday, it was two semis carrying Miller Lite and Budweiser that got the most attention from spectators.
Many bikers were out walking the streets and taking in the scene as vendors attempted to sell their products, which ranged from an unlimited selection of sunglasses to baby onesies that housed the Harley-Davidson brand.
A majority of the bikers made stops to look at a few older bikes that were on display outside of the Muskegon Heritage Museum.
On hand was Adam Winters, chief engineer for the Muskegon Heritage Museum, who was speaking with anyone who was curious about some of the older models.
"We are collecting antique bikes for the museum," Winters said. "The newest bike we have here is 35 years old."
One of the bikes available inside later on is a 1913 Henderson 4, which is 100 years old.
However, one of the main attractions was the 1942 WLH Harley Davidson that was used during World War II. With its faded green paint job, accompanied by a white star on the gas tank, motorcycle enthusiasts flocked to it. The fabled bike even had a gun holster for a small rifle near the front wheel in arm's reach of the would-be rider.
"The World War II bike is a rock star around here," Winters said. "We had it here last year for the first time, and nobody walked by without pointing or taking a picture of it."

Use this to help you review some of the terms and defitions associated with physical oceanography.
Surface Currents
These transfer heat from tropical to polar regions, distribute nutrients, scatter organisms and influence weather and climate.
Circular flow pattern of water caused by deflection of water by continents and the ocean basin.
Due to the cold temperature of the water, the water molecules are slightly closer together in this region.
Countercurrents beneath surface currents. Can influence conditions at the ocean surface.
In these boundary currents, the flow is from East to West or West to East. They link eastern and western boundary currents.
Ekman Spiral
surface winds drive surface currents, and each layer of water drags the layer below, but the Coriolis Force changes each layer's direction slightly to make a spiral effect
Progressive Wave
A wave of moving energy in which the wave form moves in one direction along the surface of the transmission medium.
These waves travel though water deeper than 1/20 but shallower than 1/2 their wavelength
These waves have a wavelength greater than 1.73cm. The restoring force is gravity and momentum. Wind waves are one example of these waves.
Wind Strength
The length of time the wind blows, the fetch and this are three factors that affect wind wave development.
Maximum ratio of wave height to wavelength seen in the open ocean. Also known as wave steepness.
Surf beat
A result of constructive and destructive interference that is seen on shore when waves do not all appear with a uniform size. Some are larger, some are smaller.
Plunging Wave
A breaking wave in which the upper section topples forward and away from the bottom, forming an air-filled tube.
Wave reflection
The reflection of progressive waves by a vertical barrier. Reflection occurs with little loss of energy.
Standing Wave
a wave in which water oscillates without causing progressive wave forward movement. there is no net transmission of energy in a standing wave
the regular rise and fall of the ocean's surface influenced by the moon's gravity pulling on earth
Greek astronomer and navigator who first wrote about the connection between moon and the height of the tide.
Amphidromic Point
A "no-tide" point in an ocean caused by basin resonances, friction, and other factors around which tide crests rotate. About a dozen amphidromic points exist in the world ocean. Sometimes called a node.
Tidal Bore
A high, often breaking wave generated by a tide crest that advances rapidly up an estuary or river.
Flood Current
water rushing into an enclosed area because of the rise in sea level as a tide crest approaches

Fry Brothers Turkey Ranch celebrates 75 years today
STEAM VALLEY – As his great-grandfather always said, restaurant Manager Nathan Fry still believes in "giving people a good meal at a decent price." Fry Brothers Turkey Ranch has been doing that for 75 years today, Mother's Day, with only a brief pause for World War II, when they raised about 15,000 turkeys per year for the government.
Business owner Dwight "Ike" Fry, Nathan's father, likes to say Nathan is the fourth generation of Fry's, which has been feeding people turkey on the mountain.
Situated at the top of Steam Valley Mountain, at an altitude of 1,704 feet, the turkey ranch opened on Mother's Day 1939. A turkey dinner cost $1.
The Fry brothers originally raised their own turkeys for those famous turkey dinners, still a deal at $12.95, Fry said.
The family actually has been in business since 1886 when William Fry, a German immigrant, was part of a growers market in Williamsport called the Curbstone and Grower's Market.
In 1925, his sons, Howard Sr. and Raymond, started a restaurant meat market on West Fourth Street and were there until the Great Depression in 1932.
Then, in 1938, the brothers bought farmland to raise turkeys, where the turkey ranch opened in 1939 and now stands.
"Our specialty has always been turkey. They raised turkeys 'til 1970 when the government took the land for the highway," Nathan said, referring to Route 15.
According to him, they would start each season with about 10,000 turkeys, with a total flock of 100,000 on hand for each year.
"They roamed free in the fields; there were no pens," Fry said.
When the restaurant first opened up, "it wasn't even really a dining room, it was a counter area and they could only seat about 20 people or so," Fry said.
"They had over 10,000 visitors and they served 1,011 meals," he added.
According to Fry, Mother's Day always is "the busiest day of the year. The busiest one ever was 1,250 people, which happened in 2005," he added.
Because of that initial huge turnout, the legend goes that his great-grandfather started ripping out walls to expand – the next day they opened, Fry said.
"They made a dining room and added a little traveler's motel and a separate diner on top of that," he said.
The restaurant now seats 300 people, is open 364 days a year and serves about 100,000 customers each year.
"Many of our customers come here for years with their parents and grandparents and now their children. And it's the same for our workers. We currently have an employee who is the third generation to work here and he often works alongside his grandmother. That sort of thing happens rather frequently," Fry said.
The turkey ranch has served more than 150,000 turkeys since 1939 and its turkey dinner still is by far the most popular meal, but Fry's also offers ham dinners, chicken, even grilled liver and onions, as well as a seafood dinner and a variety of lunch items.
The busiest season is spring through fall, when people start traveling.
To celebrate the milestone anniversary, the family is putting together old photos and a history of the place to have on display.
"We will have some special deals we will be giving away to keep the celebration going through the whole year," Fry said.
Ike said he started working with his parents at the age of 12, and his first job was ordering candy for the candy case.
He said the government would hire the ranch's night watchmen to watch out for enemy planes during World War II.
"They soon learned that any plane that went over, the turkeys would know about long before the men could see or hear them, so they would pay attention to the turkeys," he said.
The ranch truly has been a family owned and operated business since its inception. Fry's grandmother, Lois, and her cousin, Helen "Becky" Beck, had 99 years of combined work experience.
"My grandmother worked in the kitchen for 49 years and Becky worked as a waitress for 50 years," he said.
Becky, now in her 80s, still lives in Liberty and Lois, also in her 80s, lives in Williamsport.
Both graduated from Liberty High School and began working there in 1947.
Fry told of an interesting story about the turkeys, which were all free range, and most were on the other side of the highway.
"Something spooked them and 3,000 turkeys flew across the highway, landing on customer's cars and people were out there trying to herd those turkeys back across the road," Fry said.

Starting this fall, certain freshmen at The University of Texas-Pan American will be required to live on campus following a new policy recently approved by The University of Texas System Board of Regents.
The new policy requires students with less than 30 semester credit hours (excluding hours earned through Advanced Placement and concurrent enrollment) to reside in one of the two University-owned residence halls.
They also must be under age 21, live at least 90 miles from campus and be enrolled for nine or more hours during the fall and spring semesters.
"We are expecting good things for freshmen under this policy, helping them with their transition to University life and getting them involved with the campus (activities)," said Pat Zarate, Residence Life director. "We looked at national studies that showed students who live on campus have a higher GPA and graduate sooner than those that do not live on campus."
According to Zarate, 538 freshmen applicants qualify under the mandatory policy for the upcoming fall semester. The Women's Residence Hall and Troxell Residence Hall, a co-ed dormitory, have a total capacity of about 384 people.
In that case, the housing policy stipulates the additional students must reside at Bronc Village - an on-campus apartment complex for non-freshmen students - if space is available.
Exemptions include married students or those with children. Other exceptions will be considered on an individual basis by the Residence Life director.
"I think it will be good for the University and good for freshmen because they will have that automatic support system," Zarate said. "It will be good for the University because it will be building a community and its residential base."
For more information on the new mandatory housing policy, contact the UTPA Office of Residence Life at 956/287-7100.

The first day of spring was fitting for the building dedication ceremony for New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy at Federal City in Algiers. Cadets standing at attention in the early morning sun as local and military dignitaries and numerous friends, family members and supporters attended the celebration.
The NOMMA color guard and choir, cadet band, and Corps of Cadets performed.
The invocation was given by Navy Capt. Frederick McGriffin. Other military participants in the dedication ceremony included Col. Terry J. Ebbert, Lt. Gen. Richard Mills of the Marines, and retired Marine Corps Col. Bill Davis, commandant of the school.
Mills said, "NOMMA develops leadership in the students who often make lifelong friends."
New Orleans City Councilwomen Kristen Palmer and Jackie Clarkson also spoke. Clarkson said, "Nothing is better than having the military in New Orleans, which has a great economic impact on the city.''
In April 2011, the charter school was started by Principal Cecilia Garcia and Davis with no campus, staff or students. The first day of class was held on Aug. 9, 2011 with only a temporary campus, full staff and 120 cadets. Within a year, the school was moved to Federal City, and the student population grew to 220 cadets in grades nine and 10.
The $17 million school complex that was completed in January includes renovations to historical buildings as well as new construction. The charter school is the country's only open-enrollment charter high school with a Marine Corps Junior ROTC focus.
To build academic success for students, the school focuses on problem-solving, discipline, communications and the self-responsibility culture of the military. High school students are accepted from across the New Orleans area. A college preparatory curriculum featuring a Cypher Innovation Center used to build technical skills is offered. Participation in the Junior ROTC cadet program is required.
The school was rated one of the top 18 schools in the state for student improvement in 2012-2013. The co-ed school has 360 cadets enrolled for grades nine through 11. The school has 32 percent female students.
NOMMA is located at 425 O'Bannon St. For more information, visit nomma.net.
