Analysis of Transient Electromagnetic DipoleJ.C. Crompton[1], K.C. Koppenhoefer[1], and S.Y. Yushanov[1]
[1]AltaSim Technologies, LLC, Columbus, Ohio, USA
This paper presents the solution of a transient electromagnetic problem using COMSOL Multiphysics. The paper also presents a closed-form solution of a transient electromagnetic dipole. The computational solution compares well with a closed-form solution for this problem. This work implements Maxwell's equations in the RF module and optimizes solver parameter settings to resolve the transient nature of the pulse. The results of the analysis are compared with available analytical solutions for transient pulses.

When I first started unit testing with AngularJS, Karma, and Jasmine, I read everything I could get my hands on about the subject. While there's a lot of good material out there, I wouldn't want to write tests, let alone ask my team to do so based on the material I originally found. This post is the one I wish I'd found when I first started writing tests, less of a "just how to get it working" and more of a "how to make writing tests a sustainable part of your process." Some of these tips seem relatively trivial, but even little things can add up to make writing tests easier for a team.
Angular.mock.dump() and karma.dump()
One thing that is hard about unit testing with Karma is it's not that practical to set break points. When I first started doing unit testing, I didn't even know that you could use console.log() to print out useful messages from the tests and code.
When I figured that out, it helped quite a bit. However, complex objects could get hard to read and sometimes even would be truncated. It turns out that angular.mock has a method, dump() that will format the object to be legible from the command prompt window. Karma also has a dump() function that's basically a shortcut to console.log().
Setting flags to only print information from certain tests
One thing that's a little scary about using angular.mock.dump() in the code under test is that you're going to get an error when you try to run that code and it's not from a test. In addition, if a lot of tests run a particular piece of code, it can be difficult finding the output that matters to the test you're working on from a firehose of output statements.
I like to give my AngularJS "classes" a method that sets a flag to turn these statements on and off. I usually call it setDebug(), and then I will call that from the test I'm currently working on (or in a beforeEach, depending on how early I need it set).
Shared Data Sources
It's pretty common for multiple Services and Controllers to need similar data sets in their tests, so the data sets are easier to use and maintain if they are not kept in each spec, which is what you'll see in most test examples on the internet. The biggest thing that has made testing sustainable for my team is to develop a convention for our data sources, both in how they're named and how they're structured.
The service name will usually be "myDataTypeData". In turn, the mocks that are mocking services that retrieve those data sets can be given a path of "myDataType" and will return the data from the myDataTypeData service by asking for it from the injector.
Each data service has a method, "getAllData," that returns converted json from an entire XML file, including a collection of data items with some header information that pertains to the collection as a whole. It also has a "getNormalizedDataItems" method that returns the collection of data items pre-processed to remove the XML artifacts. So tests that are testing large pieces of the application and tests that are testing smaller pieces of the application can get the data they need.
Balancing DAMP with DRY
Most of us have heard of DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) for production code, which means that rather than duplicating code to other places that need similar functionality, you extract that code and call it from all the different places that need it. Unit tests often are running almost the same code, but with slightly different inputs. One of the purposes of tests is to document what the software should do, so developers need to be able to see at a glance what the inputs are, where they are going, and what the expected outputs are. So tests are often written to be DAMP (Descriptive and Meaningful Phrases), which can translate to a lot of repeated code.
If you've ever wanted to make a major change in your code and felt that sinking feeling because you knew that too many places referenced it directly, you understand why DRY is a good thing. Change things in one place and you're done. It can be hard to make a business case for tests to non-technical managers, so the last thing you ever want to say is "yes, we can make that change but it will take a while because there are a lot of tests around that functionality."
After being bitten by that one, I developed a strategy that works in part because of my shared data sources. Most Jasmine specs have a setup() method. The first argument will usually be the data source name. If we're testing at the individual data item level, the second argument will be the index of the data item I want.
Here's where it gets tricky, because the setup step is usually going to instantiate something, whether it's $controller building a controller for me to test with the data item attached to its $scope or a Factory (not an angular factory, specifically, but the Factory pattern) that is responsible for turning that data item into something else. So customization often needs to happen in between when we retrieve the data from the service and when we construct the item.
To handle that, I use a third parameter that takes a function to perform whatever extra massaging I need to customize the data before the actual object gets made. This means that once you know the pattern, you can read setup('someType', 2, function (dataItem) dataItem.foo='bar'}), and know exactly what is going on. In most cases, it's not critical to see all the steps to retrieve the data and make the thing, with all the $rootScope.apply() calls that keep angular happy. What you care about is what's special about this data as an input.
The flip side of that is that most examples you'll see on blogs, etc., have a beforeEach() method at the top of the spec that pulls absolutely everything you'll need from the $injector and stores it in a variable. This can get kind of hard to read, especially if for whatever reason you don't use the actual name of the service as the variable name. And of course there's that little part of my developer soul that is slightly bothered by exposing a variable for an entire spec that is only used in one place.
It took me a while to realize it, but you can use inject() any place that takes a Function in a spec. So, you can put an inject() in any beforeEach, not just the first one, or as the second parameter for a describe() or it() statement. Probably the only thing stopping you from injecting at the top-level describe block and simplifying your variable declarations is the need to bootstrap the module(s) under test.
When I took over the project I am currently leading, it was basically a prototype grown out of control. It had no tests and few modules. Our first priority was to start writing tests on new code, and then we started breaking out modules based on features. But our tests all bootstrapped the full app. The tests began to take longer and longer to run, so we knew that had to stop. Our first efforts at just bootstrapping a few modules in tests broke the tests pretty hard, so we put that task on the back burner while we continued to think about it.
Finally, it occurred to me that we had made a bad assumption when we decided what to leave in the main "app" module. It seemed logical at the time to leave pieces that were used in a lot of places in the app in the app itself. That was exactly backward, because any test that tested anything that depended on any of these commonly-used services had to bootstrap the app, which bootstraps everything. So the lesson learned there is "the more places it's used, the more it needs to be in its own module."
We also added a "mocks" module, which contains overrides of some of the services that we don't want to really use in tests (like the one that plays audio or the one that reads the XML into JSON). By doing it this way, we can choose the real service simply by not bootstrapping "mocks." The exception to this is sometimes you have to bootstrap the module the service is actually in, and that module can "win." To resolve that situation, you can register a mock service in the module where the original service was, which will overwrite it, and also register it in the mocks module.
What are your tips?
I by no means claim that these tips and tricks are the best way to do things, but they are things I have found out for myself through trial and error that I have found helpful. Maybe you'll find them helpful. If you have some killer ways to rock your jasmine tests, please feel free to share them in the comments.

The E for All Expo might sound like a great place to buy drugs, but the organizers are hoping this will be the successor to the old E3 in terms of spectacle and hype. Now it won't just be the press that gets to be blasted with loud music and oversized television screens; early registration is open.
The show is pricey at $90 for the four-day pass, and there isn't a lot information about who will be there or what attendees will be able to see. If there is compelling content, though, early registration gets you more hours on the floor away from the general admission crowd. Take a look at the schedule.
We'll be keeping our eyes on this. A show in October is a good chance for devs to blitz attendees with holiday game releases. Let's hope people take advantage of it.

Here's some sobering news about HPV: While cancer death rates are down across the U.S., the number of people contracting cancer from HPV infection is on the rise, according to a study that was just released in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Researchers find this information particularly troubling because, in addition to the rate of cancers developed from HPV going up, only about one third of American women between the ages of 13 and 17 had received all three doses of the HPV vaccine in 2010. And, while there might be some new ways to combat the spread of HPV, including using a using a certain type of lube while doing the deed, these methods have not yet been vetted as actual ways to prevent HPV.
While the news sounds rather scary, it's a good reminder to make sure that we get those regular STD tests—and that we continue to practice safe sex.

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari says he will find out in the coming days whether he will keep his job despite leading the country through a disappointing World Cup campaign.
Brazil's tournament ended in a typically underwhelming fashion on Saturday as they were beaten 3-0 by Holland in the third-place play-off.
Five days earlier Scolari led the team to one of their most humiliating defeats in history - a 7-1 reverse to Brazil.
The home fans made their displeasure towards the coach and his players clear at the final whistle by booing them off the pitch. But just as he did following the thrashing against Germany, Scolari did not resign.
When asked whether he thought he remained the right man for the job, Scolari said in his post-match press conference: "That has to be decided by the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation.
"We agreed before this tournament that we would give our positions at the end of the World Cup. I will finish my report and the president and the board will analyse it and do as they wish."
David Luiz, who had a shocker against Germany, put on another masterclass in how not to defend in Brasilia.
The Brazil vice-captain headed the ball straight to Daley Blind in the first half and he lashed the ball past Julio Cesar for Holland's second goal.
The match started in the worst possible way for the hosts, who went behind within three minutes thanks to Robin van Persie's penalty, and Georginio Wijnaldum wrapped up the latest humiliating defeat for Brazil in injury time.
It was the first time that Brazil had suffered consecutive home defeats since 1940.
But Scolari was not unhappy with his team's performance and he denied the whole tournament had been a disaster for the host nation.
"Losing 7-1 was the worst result in history but I have to see the positive side of things," Scolari added. "In 2006 we didn't finish in the final four and neither did we in 2010.
"In a year-and-a-half we have reached the last four of the World Cup and we have won the Confederations Cup.
"We have to be optimistic. Today I don't think it was a bad match. There is nothing I can criticise the players for.
"We played this match reasonably well. The players leave with my trust and happiness.
"If we continue the work then the path is open for a team that will be much better for 2018."
Holland coach Louis van Gaal headed for his new job at Manchester United with mixed emotions.
The 62-year-old was disappointed not to win the tournament, but he did not have a bad word to say about his players.
The Holland coach, who has been handed a three-year contract at Old Trafford, has created a strong bond within the squad and he now wants to do the same in England with his new players.
"There will always be a place in my heart for these 23 players and my staff," said Van Gaal when asked whether he would miss working with the Holland squad.
"I have top staff. They are great people. My players were even better. It was a great group.
"I hope that the group in Manchester will become like this one. We have to start singing from the same hymn sheet."
Given that Holland only went out of the competition on penalties after a 0-0 draw against Argentina, Van Gaal became the first Holland coach to go through a World Cup unbeaten.
He thinks it will be hard to do the same with United, who finished seventh last year under David Moyes.
"I wasn't able to do it with Ajax, Bayern Munich or Barcelona," he said. "Losing is just part of the job."
Van Gaal is determined to bring the good times back to Old Trafford after the club endured such a dreadful year under Moyes.
"I hope at Manchester United I can do my best," he said.
"I will do my best. Whether that's enough for the fans I will wait and see but I genuinely hope that will be the case."

Thomas S. Monson
16th President of the Church
Seminary Can Change Lives
March 24, 2012
"When you have the chance to be involved in seminary, whether in the early morning or in released-time classes, take advantage of that opportunity. Many of you are attending seminary now. As with anything in life, much of what you take from your seminary experience depends on your attitude and your willingness to be taught. May your attitude be one of humility and a desire to learn. How grateful I am for the opportunity I had as a teenager to attend early-morning seminary, for it played a vital role in my development and the development of my testimony. Seminary can change lives."
Participate in Seminary
August 12, 2011
"Young people, I ask you to participate in seminary. Study your scriptures daily. Listen to your teachers carefully. Apply what you learn prayerfully."
Make Institute a Priority
April 21, 2009
"Think of it. Friends will be made, the Spirit will be felt, and faith will be strengthened. I promise you that as you participate in institute and study the scriptures diligently, your power to avoid temptations and to receive direction of the Holy Ghost in all you do will be increased. That is a promise I leave with you."
Internalize the Scriptures
Pathways to Perfection, Deseret Book Co. (1973), 98
"The seminary and institute curricula stress the scriptures and help the student to internalize their vibrancy and meaning."
Gordon B. Hinckley
15th President of the Church
Take Advantage of Seminary and Institute
Ensign, Nov. 1995, 54
"We hope that all for whom these programs [seminary and institute] are available will take advantage of them. Knowledge of the gospel will be increased, faith will be strengthened, and you will enjoy wonderful associations and friendships."
Attending Seminary
Ensign, May 1996, 93
"I hope all of you who are eligible are attending seminary. This organization provides wonderful opportunities to learn the doctrines that will make you happy. It provides wonderful opportunities for socializing with those of your own kind."
Boyd K. Packer
President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Parents, Presidents, Bishops, and Youth Leaders
Ensign, May 1983, 67
"Parents, encourage, even insist, that your students register for seminary or institute. Presidents, bishops, youth leaders, you are responsible to encourage every youngster, without exception, to enroll. Few things you do will benefit them quite as much."
Students, Do Not Hesitate
Ensign, May 1983, 67
"Students, if your values are in place, you will not hesitate to forego an elective class that may decorate your life in favor of instruction which can hold together the very foundation of it. Then, once enrolled, attend, study, and learn. Persuade your friends to do the same. You will never regret it; this I promise you."
Choose an Institute Class
Ensign, May 1983, 67
"Without guidance, your student may choose . . . another course instead of an institute class. That would surely be a mistake. It would be like adding one more brick to the house of knowledge when there is little mortar to hold it all together. Parents encourage, even insist, that your students register for . . . institute."
Our Respect, Our Gratitude, and Our Support
Ensign, May 1990, 38
"All of these courses in seminary, in institute, and at Church schools are taught by dedicated teachers. They deserve our respect, our deep gratitude, and our full support. Every parent, every Church leader, should act as an enrolment agent for seminaries and institute. Parents and priesthood leaders, check on your college students. See that they attend institute."
L. Tom Perry
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Power Comes
Ensign, Nov. 1997, 61-62
"I know the power that comes from associations in the seminary and institute programs. It has enriched my life, and I know it will do the same for you. It will put a shield of protection around you to keep you free from the temptations and trials of the world. There is a great blessing in having a knowledge of the gospel. And I know of no better place for the young people of the Church to gain a special knowledge of sacred things than in the institute and seminary programs of the Church."
Don't Neglect the Opportunity
Ensign, Nov. 2007, 48
"Don't neglect the opportunity of attending seminary and institute classes. Participate and gain all you can from the scriptures taught in these great religious-education settings. They will prepare you to present the message of the restored gospel to those you have opportunity to meet."
Richard G. Scott
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Take Part
Ensign, Nov. 2003, 42
"Take part in seminary and institute to gain vital understanding of truth."

State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R., Butler) relishes his role as a bomb-thrower. He has called undocumented residents "alien invaders," and this week said if gay people didn't "wear their sexual desires on their sleeves" there would be no need for a non-discrimination bill.
In an eye-opening email exchange obtained by Capitolwire, an online news service, Metcalfe said mass transit subsidies were "just more welfare."
He went on to rip transit in the southeast to Rep. Tom Killion (R., Delaware) writing that "Your buses don't do a thing for my constituents. How about we pay for your state roads and bridges, and you pay for your own buses? It is only fair since we only receive funding for our roads and bridges too"
The angry exchange comes as the Senate prepares to consider a major transportation funding bill next month that would pay for bridge and road repair and support struggling mass transit systems statewide.
Killion launched the back and forth by noting a new report by the Pennsylvania Economy League showed 27 percent of the state's transportation funding went to southeastern Pennsylvania counties, while that region had 32 percent of the state population and 40 percent of the state's economic activity.
Referring to that study, Killion had this to say to Metcalfe, Capitolwire reported: "As always, I appreciate your input. If you help me pass legislation to keep all of the revenue the Southeast generates in the Southeast, we will be good to go and will never ask for anything else from the Commonwealth.
Clout Newsletter
Clout: your guide to the wild world of politics
Then Rep. Rick Saccone (R., Washington) chimed in saying his constituents and many in the state, "… are fed up with, as they most often say, 'pouring money down a black hole of inefficiency, patronage and corruption.'
Killion defended SEPTA as an essential component of the state's transportation network.
Metcalfe responded: "I appreciate your input too, but you miss the point my friend. State expenditures should go to the common interests of the state, not special interests, like subsidizing a minority of our population's bus fare, which is just more welfare."
Saccone added his constituents "are fed up with, as they most often say, 'pouring money down a black hole of inefficiency, patronage and corruption.' If these investments are necessary then the private sector should and will invest in them. I have had five town halls in the last two weeks and people are disgusted with mass transit funding."
That brought out another transit defender from the ranks of Philly area Republicans, Rep. Kate Harper of Montgomery County, who pointed out that the southeast drivers support road projects throughout the state.
"In my area, SEPTA is well-regarded even though most people have to drive to commute to work. Those who work in the city support it because it's faster and easier than battling traffic congestion every day and seniors prefer it to driving when it goes where they need it to go.
"Their rides are subsidized by the lottery which enjoys bipartisan support. Many commuters who drive support SEPTA because it gets cars off the road and out of their way. Still others recognize its benefits to cleaner air in the region. Finally let's recognize that gas taxes from SEPTA's service area support road projects all over the state. I don't see any of you opposed legislators refusing THAT subsidy. Did I miss it? Should we discuss the education funding formula? I thought we were a Commonwealth for things we deem in the general public interest. No?"

The focus of the Alaska workshop will be on photographing bald eagles, but we'll also be photographing spectacular landscapes and sea scapes . . . and few whales.
Because gear is a very poplar topic here on my blog, I thought I'd put together another "Rick's List," this time discussing the gear I'm packing for Alaska - and why I'm packing it. I'll be using the same gear for my Bosque del Apache workshop in December with Juan Pons. I updated this list/post after doing a test: 7D vs. 5D Mark III.
The pictures you see here are from my 2011 Alaska trip with Hal.
Here goes.
Canon 5D Mark III - Two: one mounted with a telephoto lens or zoom, and one mounted with a wide-angle zoom.
Canon 400mm DO lens - my main BIF lens. A relatively compact lens that I borrowed from Canon's CPS.
Canon 100-400mm IS lens - for extra shooting flexibility when the birds are zooming toward and away from the boat (our shooting platform).
Canon 70-200mm f/4 lens - great for when the birds are relatively close to the boat.
Canon 1.4X tele converter - makes my 400mm a 560mm. I don't use a 2x converter. I just crop in camera.
Canon 15mm fisheyes lens - for very wide shots of the glaciers (see below). I'll probably upgrade to the Canon 8-15mm lens soon.
|© Rick Sammon
Canon 25-105mm IS lens - I never leave home without it. Great for people shots, on land and on a boat. A wonderful general-purpose lens, too.
Storm Jacket camera/lens protector - to keep my camera and lens dry.
Tiffen Polarizing Filter - to reduce reflections on water and ice.
Tiffen Variable ND filter - to reduce the light entering the camera so I can shoot waterfalls at slow shutter speeds in bright light.
|© Rick Sammon
Blower - to keep my sensor clean.
Head-mounted flashlight - for hands-free shooting in the dark.
Small flashlight - just in case the lights go out.
Extra camera batteries and charger - for extra power.
Plastic sandwich bags - for extra camera protection.
Believe it or not, all that gear fits snugly into my Lowepro AW 300 backpack.
Not shown: my Induro tripod and ball head . . . plus all my clothes, etc.
My computer gear includes:
MacBook Pro
Lexar Card Reader
LaCie portable hard drive (500GB).
I pack my computer gear in a Lowepro roller.
I hope to see you someday on one of my workshops, group or private. To get on the list, shoot me an email.

Last week I blogged about a resizeable textarea which can be integrated into an APEX application. I thought it would be cool to have this resizeable textareas in the APEX Builder, too.
How could that be done?
I think there are 3 possible solutions
- Add the code into the htmldb_get.js with some check that it only executes when the current application is 4000
- Implement it as a bookmarklet, but there are maybe size restrictions or
- implement it as script for the Firefox Add-on Greasemonkey.
I thought I give Greasemonkey a try, because it's non inversive and it will automatically execute the script as soon as the HTML page has been rendered. So sorry Internet Explorer users! But if you know a similar extension for IE, let me know and I will take a look.
The installation is quite simple, just follow these steps.
- Download and install the Greasemonkey add-on.
- After the installation you will see a little monkey face at the right bottom.
- Download my APEX Builder plugin script
- Install apex_builder_plugin.js (File/Open File)
- That's all, you are done. Login into APEX and try it out!
I have created a video, demonstrating this new feature. Watch it!

LOS ANGELES - In his new, provocative book, Beyond Bullsh*t: Straight Talk at Work, UCLA Anderson Professor Sam Culbert describes how to detect bullsh*t in the workplace, both in its overt forms and in its various disguises. Prof. Culbert also shows when and how it is possible to get to straight-talk and put aside the constant deception and obfuscation that all too often permeates the workplace.
In the book, Culbert acknowledges that a certain amount of bullsh*t is inevitable, but hopes readers find his latest book a powerful antidote to the bullsh*t in their lives and careers.
After decades of research and consulting, Culbert is convinced that straight-talk at work is possible. But it requires more than luck and willing people. Straight-talk is the product of thoughtful, caring relationships built upon trust and a commitment to look out for one another's success.
Culbert describes this brand of truthfulness as "a caring, other-sensitive, candor-on-demand, loyalty-producing, intimacy-escalating, give-and-take relationship, leading to enhanced personal and organizational productivity." From an organizational perspective, there's no greater contribution to operational effectiveness and success than conversations in which people with conflicting viewpoints discuss their differences forthrightly.
Beyond Bullsh*t is now available from Stanford University Press.

The information presented in this white paper suggests a number of potential avenues for future research in the area of phishing attacks and we would recommend further investigation of the following subjects:
We would like to investigate if honeypots can be used to help in the fight against spammers and phishers. One possible research project would be to deploy additional honeypots of a type regularly used in previously observed phishing attacks or tuned to present attractive targets to spammers (such as SMTP open relays). Analysis of further attacks against these systems would help us to learn more about the anatomy of phishing attacks, particularly in the area of phishing using botnets, and to track the evolution of phishing techniques. Another research possibility would be to further develop the idea of honeypots and produce "client-side honeypots". This type of next-generation honeypot would actively participate in communication networks, for example, by automatically follow links in spam emails and accessing the target content. Client-side honeypots could idle in IRC-channels or share/download files via peer-to-peer networks, further improving our knowledge about the type of threats present in these communication networks.
In addition, we would like to investigate potential methods of countering or stopping phishing attacks. Since the time window between the start and end of a phishing attack is likely to be limited to a matter of only hours or days, and the source hosts are widely distributed, this is a difficult task. Current research efforts in this area (for example The AntiPhishing Group and PhishReport) concentrate on collecting phishing emails received by end users. Whilst this is a viable approach, capture occurs at the final stage in the incident lifecycle. An automated approach to capturing and responding to phishing attacks would be more desirable.
We suspect that accounts and passwords are being traded between blackhat groups, probably via IRC. Honeynet technology could be used to capture such communication and further understand phishing activities. In addition, phishing tools often appear to be downloaded from a number of regularly updated central web or FTP servers. Although more contentious, monitoring of such activity or contacting the system owners would help to prevent some phishing activity, and a framework for operating such research and potential countermeasures could be established.
Further work is required to improve the automation of incident analysis, particularly in automatic profiling of data captured during such attacks. Automation of traffic and IP address extraction, reverse DNS and IP block ownership lookups, per IP address or per domain traffic summaries and en-masse passive operating system fingerprinting would all be particularly useful when analysing large data sets, as would a local forensic database of known hosts, attackers, attack signatures, message contents, etc. In the longer term, agreed standards for sharing such information and a global forensic database to support analysis of distributed blackhat activities would be highly desirable and of significant benefit to the community.

In Baltimore, authorities are finding that if they can't solve a robbery, the next best thing may be to set one up.
Five men - at least three who police say are members of the Black Guerilla Family - were indicted last week in federal court on robbery charges. They didn't commit a robbery, but were caught in recorded conversations with a government source planning and preparing to carry one out, according to court records.
It's a tactic that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has used at least three times here, and which the Federal Bureau of Investigation also used in a case involving a man charged with accepting a murder-for-hire proposal.
A spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration - which was involved in this month's indictment - said the agency had "done this type of investigation many times before; all have been successful," but said he could not discuss the case in further detail. City police said they were unaware of the case.
Federal authorities allege that Sean Thornton, Rodney Proctor, Antonio Davis, Michael Johnson and Jazmen Trusty agreed to commit a robbery of 10 kilograms of cocaine from a purported drug source at a Baltimore hotel. In court documents, a Baltimore Police detective and DEA task force member wrote that police received information that Davis, Proctor and Thornton "are armed drug traffickers and members of the Black Guerilla Family street gang, who are active in the Penrose neighborhood of Baltimore City."
The BGF has garnered headlines in recent months, with Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts attributing a fall crime spike to tensions between the BGF and other gangs. There is no indication in documents that police believe any of the men charged in the robbery sting were involved in such violence.
On Dec. 12, agents recorded a conversation between a source working with law enforcement and Davis, Proctor, Thornton and Johnson, where the source described how they could steal 10 kilograms of cocaine from a drug dealer coming to town.
In the documents, police write that the cost of cocaine is currently "high," at $40,000 per kilogram wholesale. Johnson was allegedly recorded saying, "This s--t right here [a robbery of a drug trafficker] make[s] my day ... this my line of work [robbing drug dealers] ... that's why I'm pretty sure he pulled in the n-----s he pulled in."
Eight days later, the men, along with Trusty, got into a car and headed to the hotel where the robbery was to occur. Lying in wait were federal agents. According to court documents, Johnson was carrying latex gloves and a ski mask, and Davis had two gloves and a black mask. Proctor had a black stocking cap with a loaded .22 caliber pistol.
Police say Trusty, Davis and Johnson each independently planned to participate in the robbery and "understood that firearms would be used to facilitate the robbery."

Berkeley Projects Day 2006
Neighborhood Services is a unit of the City Manager's Office and is dedicated to working on the problems in the community that require teamwork and coordination across City departments.
The Neighborhood Services team brings together people from different City departments to handle citizen complaints and other problems that affect the quality of life in Berkeley. While most of the work of the Neighborhood Services unit comes from referrals from the City Council, City departments, residents and businesses, we also try to identify emerging problems before they become more serious. Experience has shown that by working with residents to resolve seemingly small problems, we can improve life in every neighborhood.
Berkeley Project Day is a great example. On October 27, 2007, Neighborhood Services helped organize more than 1,500 students and community members to do projects like painting murals in local parks, playground construction, streetscape clean-ups and storm drain maintenance, stream and bay clean-ups, native plantings, graffiti abatement, door-to-door distribution of disaster materials, removal of vegetation, refurbishing senior centers, and assisting seniors and disabled with critical forms. Working together, we made a difference to neighbors across the City.
There are currently five inter-departmental teams:
1. Downtown Team: Covering the downtown area bounded by Oxford, Hearst, Dwight and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, this team is composed of staff from the City Manager's Office, Police, Mental Health and Homeless Services, Public Works, Parks, Economic Development and Code Enforcement2. Problem Properties Team: This City-wide team works with Building and Safety, Fire, Code Enforcement, Housing and Environmental Health on drug houses, crime, blight, unsafe and substandard housing conditions.3. Telegraph/Southside Team: Covering the area from Oxford to College and Bancroft to Derby, this team includes UC Police and Community Relations with City department representatives.4. South and West Berkeley Team: Similar in departmental representation to the downtown team, this group focuses on the challenges and strengths specific to South and West Berkeley.5. Neighborhood Services Team: This team includes the department directors from Police, Health and Human Services, Parks, Public Works and Economic Development. They support the work being done by the other teams and assist more directly in an areas that are especially controversial in the community.
In addition to the work being done in those areas, Neighborhood Services also convenes groups to work on other projects as needed. For example, there are teams working on coordinating the City's youth services, implementing the Public Commons for Everyone Initiative, developing a pedestrian safety campaign and preventing and cleaning up graffiti.
Berkeley youth, working with YAYA California and the City, decorated these traffic-calming bollards with mosaic. The Neighborhood Services team coordinates these cleanups to help eradicate blight, beautify public areas, and create opportunities for young people to invest in their neighborhoods.

Dayton is blessed with an abundant supply of fresh water provided by the Great Miami Buried Aquifer. This source, however, lies beneath an urbanized core that includes both industrial and commercial land use, making it susceptible to harmful contaminants.
Working to ensure that the water flowing through the city's 700 miles of water mains is safe, clean, and always available is Phil Van Atta, City of Dayton's water treatment technical supervisor. He directs a team of lab technicians who analyze samples taken from Dayton's rivers, wells, and water taps. They're checking for biological, chemical, and radiological contaminants as well as for other water quality indicators.
Because water plays a vital role in the region's public safety, health, and economic well being, "emergency preparedness and response are part of my job," he says. This includes, if necessary, implementing parts of the water department's emergency response plan.
Such emergencies could include a fire at a pumping station or a large water main break, a chlorine gas release or a chemical spill that jeopardizes the underground aquifer, a major power outage, or a tornado or even an earthquake that could damage one or both water treatment plants.
And especially in this post 9/11 world, the threat of a terrorist attack is always at the top of the list.
Van Atta is a member of the first cohort class of WSU's new emergency preparedness track offered through the Master in Public Health program. He's fulfilling a desire that grew out of his undergraduate environmental studies at Wright State.
"I believe that providing public health programs to the community is one of the most important functions of government. Our main mission is community health. The networking and the knowledge I'm gaining through this program will provide additional tools in carrying out this mission and keeping our emergency response plans cutting edge and vital."
