Meet Ohio's most obedient dog
Phoebe, a Welsh corgi owned by Worthington resident Jennifer Lyon, is the state's top dog in rally obedience competition.
By DENNIS LAYCOCK
Published: Friday, April 3, 2009 5:25 PM EDT
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks -- but what about a dog that's never seen a leash, let alone a seesaw or weave poles? That's the situation Worthington resident Jennifer Lyon, 51, found herself in after she adopted Phoebe three years ago. Now, the Pembroke Welsh corgi is the top-ranked dog in Ohio and 18th in the country in the sport of rally obedience. Now 5 years old, Phoebe spent her puppy days on a wide-open horse farm -- but her owners, who already had eight other dogs along with sundry farm animals, felt she needed to be an "only dog," Lyon said. http://www.snponline.com/articles/2009/04/06/worthington_news/news/woallwodog_20090331_0508pm_2.txt

Tobias Neuhauser: A Method for Simulation-based Parameter Optimization of Autonomous Emergency Braking
The parameters of an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system are tuned manually on a test-track up to now. This approach is time-consuming, costly and yields suboptimal performance of the AEB system. To overcome these disadvantages, a method for simulation-based parameter optimization of autonomous emergency braking systems is presented and implemented within this master’s thesis. First of all, contrary cost functions are modelled, which specify the target behavior of the AEB system. Their objectives are on the one hand the effectiveness of the AEB system and on the other hand the customer-acceptance. Moreover, an optimization strategy is presented, which is required to tackle the high-dimensional optimization problem consisting of more than one hundred parameters. This includes also a sensitivity analysis to screen for non-influential parameters. Different optimization methods are investigated for the high-dimensional optimization: direct, metamodel-based and hybrid optimization. The hybrid optimizer “Efficient Global Optimization” proves as the best one for this task. Finally, the so-optimized parameters are fine-tuned with the help of a gradient-based optimization
Benedikt Kucis: A GPU-accelerated Chebyshev Function Approximation on an Adaptive Tree Structure
This bachelor’s thesis describes the process of designing and implementing a GPU-accelerated Chebyshev function approximation on an Adaptive Tree Structure. The adaptive trees are used for storing Chebyshev coefficients computed using an input function for e.g. vorticity fields or Gaussian functions. Chebyshev points are optimal interpolation points to approximate smooth functions over a specified domain. The evaluation of the Chebyshev interpolant for an arbitrary point is computationally expensive. Because the Chebyshev approximation can be heavily parallelized, the goal of this work was to speed up the evaluation by utilizing the massively parallel architecture of GPUs. Existing CPU implementations in the PVFMM and TbSLAS libraries are explained and the process of implementing and optimizing the GPU version of the evaluation is described. The largest achieved speedup was about 2X the CPU performance.
Michael Obersteiner: Parallel Implementation of the Fast Multipole Method
In this thesis we develop an MPI parallelization for the Fast Multipole Method in the Molecular Dynamics software MarDyn. Different optimizations to the implementation were investigated to minimize communication overhead. By restructuring of the standard Fast Multipole traversal and the usage of non-blocking communication routines, an over- lap between communication and computation is created. Furthermore, synchronized local reduce operations are used to avoid collective operations which significantly improves parallel efficiency for large scale simulations. Moreover, we discuss novel applications of the zonal methods for parallelization of long range interactions in the context of the Fast Multipole Method. Therefore, a new adaptation of the NT method was designed which re- duces the communication partners to 6 in the local tree part and to 31 in the global tree part for send as well as receive operations. In addition, import loads are reduced significantly for the global tree part and for up to three levels in the local tree part. In this way, a parallel efficiency of 67% with a speedup of 347 can be obtained even for small simulations with 2 local levels and 512 processors. For larger processor ranges relative speedups of 5.7 for 512 to 4096 processors and 3.6 for 4096 to 32768 processors could be achieved. Moreover, the implementation is compared to the state-of-the-art Fast Multipole library ExaFMM.

Terps Split Two in Maryland Invitational
Sept. 2, 2012
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland volleyball team (4-2) opened Saturday with a three-set victory over Binghamton (25-18, 25-19, 27-25), but lost to Big Ten power Ohio State (14-25, 22-25, 25-13, 25-22,15-5) in five sets in the final game of the Maryland Invitational at Comcast Pavilion.
Several Terps turned in notable performances Saturday. After notching a career-high 18 kills the night before, sophomore Ashleigh Crutcher tallied 19 against the Buckeyes to earn a spot on the all-tournament team. Senior Remy McBain recorded her fifth career triple-double with 10 kills, 30 assists and 13 digs, and sophomore Adreené Elliott finished with 13 kills and on a .524 hitting percentage.
Maryland began the match against Ohio State in impressive fashion. The Terps scored five of the first seven points behind two kills from Gold, who had five first-set kills. After the Buckeyes knotted up the set at 5-5, the Terps gained the advantage at 10-9 and did not allow Ohio State any closer.
Crutcher had three kills as part of a 6-0 Terrapin run to push Maryland's lead to 16-9. The Buckeyes called a timeout to slow Maryland's momentum, but it was to no avail as the Terps continued to attack. The Terrapins scored seven of the next 10 points to cruise to a 25-14 opening set victory.
Maryland's defense played a key role in its first-set success. The Terps held the Buckeyes to a .062 hitting percentage and senior Caitlin Adams, Crutcher, junior Mary Cushman and Gold combined for four blocks.
The second set was a back-and-forth affair with neither team gaining a lead larger than two points until a Buckeye error put the Terps up 13-10. Following an Ohio State point, Crutcher tallied one of her eight second-set kills and Elliott added another to put Maryland up 15-11.
The two squads exchanged points until another Crutcher kill was followed by a Buckeye error to put the Terps up 21-17, which forced Ohio State to call its second timeout. Three straight Ohio State points pulled the Buckeyes within one, but Crutcher's final kill of the set ended the scoring run and propelled the Terps to a 2-0 advantage.
Unfortunately for Maryland, the momentum did not carry over after the intermission. Ohio State controlled the third set and raced out to a 12-3 lead before the Terps called a timeout. The Buckeyes continued to push the tempo after the timeout as the lead grew to 15 points at 22-7 and won the third set 25-13.
Despite hanging close in the fourth set, Maryland could not get closer than two points. After a Buckeye attacking error brought the Terps within two points at 15-13, Ohio State scored six of the next seven points to put the set out of reach.
With momentum on its side, Ohio State took control of the final set by racing out to a 10-3 lead. The Buckeyes took the final frame 15-5 to earn the win.
Against Binghamton, the Terps used a strong offensive performance from Crutcher and Gold to win the opening set 25-18. The duo combined for eight of Maryland's 11 kills in the first set.
Maryland used an early 5-0 run to earn a 10-5 lead against the Bearcats and used a strong defensive effort to keep the Bearcats from coming back. The Terps held Binghamton to a .059 hitting percentage to earn a 25-18 win in the opening set.
The second set was much of the same for Maryland. Crutcher totaled seven kills in the frame and broke a 16-16 tie to help the Terps capture the set.
The Bearcats did not back down in the final frame. A Binghamton kill put the Bearcats up 15-7 midway through the third set and forced the Terps to call a timeout. Following the timeout, Maryland went on a 13-5 run to tie the set at 20-20.
The set remained close until two consecutive Crutcher kills gave the Terps set point at 26-25. A Bearcat error sealed the Maryland victory.
The Terps are back in action next weekend at Comcast Pavilion as part of the Spring Hill Suites at Arundel Mills Invitational. Maryland plays host to Boston College, George Washington and No. 14 Tennessee.

Big news from Luke Stoltman and two-time reigning World’s Strongest Man (WSM) Tom Stoltman. Their first sanctioned contest of the 2023 season will be the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic (ASC) on March 4, 2023, in Columbus, OH. That’s according to a YouTube video the brothers published on Jan. 1, 2023.
While it’s not surprising that the Stoltman brothers will compete at the 2023 ASC, where they both have a strong chance to podium, if not outright win the contest, it means that Tom Stoltman will not compete at the 2023 Britain’s Strongest Man (BSM) contest, scheduled for Jan. 28, 2023, in Sheffield, England. Tom Stoltman won the BSM contest in 2021 and 2022.
2023 Britain’s Strongest Man Roster
Below is the updated 2023 BSM roster without Pa O’Dwyer, who was on the initial roster but had to withdraw, and his replacement: Andy Black.
- Terry Hollands (England)
- Andy Black (Scotland)
- Adam Bishop (England)
- Luke Richardson (England)
- Mark Felix (England)
- Louis Jack (Scotland)
- Zake Muluzi (Scotland)
- Gavin Bilton (Wales)
- Graham Hicks (England)
- Paul Smith (England)
- Ryan Bennett (England)
- Shane Flowers (England)
While specifics were not disclosed, O’Dwyer’s reason for withdrawal was due to injury, according to the announcement of his withdrawal on the Giants Live Instagram page. O’Dwyer was the runner-up to Tom Stoltman at the 2022 BSM contest.
With the Stoltmans and O’Dwyer out of the 2023 BSM, the only podium finisher since 2020 competing is Adam Bishop, who won the contest that year. However, Bishop is not the lone former BSM champion in the line-up. Hicks won the 2019 BSM contest — Bishop was the runner-up that year.
The 2023 BSM competition is likely to be a roller coaster of a battle, although the events have not yet been released at the time of this article’s publication. With a wide-open podium and the guarantee of a new champion, anything could happen in Sheffield.

New Moosonee Hearing Site
The Board is pleased to announce that beginning August 2013, we will launching a new initiative to hold hearings in Moosonee. In doing so, claimants and other parties in the towns of Attawapiskat, Kashechewan, Fort Albany, Moose Factory, and of course, Moosonee and surrounding areas will have the option of having their claims heard in Moosonee. Other options such as travelling to Timmins or attending by teleconference or videoconference are also still available. By adding Moosonee as a hearing location, the Board is continuing to respond to the changing demographic needs of the victims we serve and expand our accessibility to Northern Ontario. Over the coming months, we will monitor this new intiative and seek input from stakeholders in the region about the benefits of holding hearings in that community.
The Board has undergone a large transformation designed to help us better serve the public and victims of crime. We have launched several initiatives to help make our process faster, more responsive and more user friendly. Recently we created an online survey to assist us in obtaining feedback from parties regarding their experience at the Board so that we may continue to improve our services. If you wish to complete the online survey, click here.
Public Accountability Documents
The Adjudicative Tribunals Accountability, Governance and Appointments Act (ATAGAA) 2009 is legislation that is designed to ensure that adjudicative tribunals are accountable, transparent and efficient in their operations while remaining independent in their decision making. A requirement of the legislation is the development of a number of public accountability documents. The documents for the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board can be accessed through the following links.
Manual of Practice for Members Now Available Online
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Board recently updated its Manual of Practice for Members and has now posted the document online.
CICB Members are independent adjudicators who decide cases by applying existing legislation and precedents set by the Courts (case law) to evidence presented by applicants, respondents and witnesses. The manual is not a substitute for a Memberís own analysis and decision-making, but rather provides useful information that may help Members evaluate claims, prepare for and conduct hearings, and render decisions.
To access the document, click here.
Online Virtual Hearing Site
In order to assist those participating in a Board hearing, the Board has created an interactive online tour of a hearing site. The virtual tour shows what a typical hearing site looks like and explains the roles of individuals who may attend the hearing.

Male genitalia are among the most phenotypically diverse morphological traits, and sexual selection is widely accepted as being responsible for their evolutionary divergence. Studies of house mice suggest that the shape of the baculum (penis bone) affects male reproductive fitness and experimentally imposed postmating sexual selection has been shown to drive divergence in baculum shape across generations. Much less is known of the morphology of female genitalia and its coevolution with male genitalia. In light of this, we used a paternal half-sibling design to explore patterns of additive genetic variation and covariation underlying baculum shape and female vaginal tract size in house mice (Mus musculus domesticus). We applied a landmark-based morphometrics approach to measure baculum size and shape in males and the length of the vaginal tract and width of the cervix in females. Our results reveal significant additive genetic variation in house mouse baculum morphology and cervix width, as well as evidence for genetic covariation between male and female genital measures. Our data thereby provide novel insight into the potential for the coevolutionary divergence of male and female genital traits in a mammal.

THE CIGAR ROLLER by Pablo Medina (Grove), 176 pages, $21 cloth. Rating: NNNN Rating: NNNN
Read the cigar roller and your experience of eating a mango will never be the same. You will always think of poet Pablo Medina's description of Amadeo, a stroke patient desperate to taste one but unable to say so. A man paralyzed by a stroke sits in his nursing home bed and remembers.
Not exactly a warm and toasty premise. But in Medina's hands it becomes something truly beautiful.
The story veers from the nursing home, where Amadeo cannot control his bodily functions, to his past, where he was never able to control his basic desires.
As a young man, he emigrates to Tampa from pre-revolutionary Cuba and continues to ply his trade as a cigar roller and indulge his appetites for food, drink and women. He can't shake those desires even as his useless shell of a body is treated by a scolding nurse, an abusive orderly and the nun who prays for him. While the sister intones her Hail Marys, he speculates about what's going on under her habit.
The people tending him in his hospital bed assume he's a vegetable, unable to move, hear, feel or think. But he can hear everything, the clock ticking, the garbage being collected outside his window, the orderly spewing contempt for his diaper-wrapped body.

Professor Colin Pooley of Lancaster University will outline findings from the pioneering and controversial Understanding Walking and Cycling research study. Edinburgh Council leader Cllr Andrew Burns will respond, followed by a panel discussion. All welcome!!
- fully segregated cycle routes on main roads in urban areas
- restrictions on car parking, speeds and access on other roads
- changing the system of legal liability, to protect cyclists and pedestrians (the most vulnerable road users) as in most of Europe
- using planning legislation to ensure facilities are more local and to deter out-of-town centres
- campaigns to promote cycling and walking as ‘normal,’ not just for the super-fit or the dedicated.
Three points underlie these policy proposals…
- Changing attitudes is not enough. The conditions must be changed so that people feel safe and comfortable cycling or walking
- Do not base policies on the views of existing walkers and cyclists – talk also to those who don’t walk or cycle
- Physical infrastructure is important, but is not sufficient. A total environment welcoming to cycling is vital, encompassing policies from areas such as housing, health, planning and education.

KAHULUI >> Federal regulators want to fine a heavy equipment rental company $70,000 for safety violations after a Maui worker was crushed and killed by a crane.
Ronald Nakasone was crushed under a crane he was operating for his employer, Hawthorne Pacific Corp. in Kahului in October.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited the company for 13 serious alleged violations. Company representatives couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Monday.
Inspectors found outriggers designed to stabilize the truck-mounted crane weren’t extended, allowing it to tip. They also found the truck crane had been out of service for more than six months and hadn’t been completely inspected before it was used.
OSHA officials say the 62-year-old’s death could have been prevented.

courtyards, gardens and
The master plan of the rue du Progrès plot wants to create disruptures in the alignment with the street to break the bar effect of existing buildings. The agency thus offers private pedestrian crossings perpendicular to the track interrupting the line of the street. They create direct access and street addresses for all buildings located behind the plot. This urban layout avoids the “rear entrance” effect and introduces the theme of alternation, between courtyards and gardens structuring the new urban landscape.
A gorgeous and contemplative landscape takes place at the heart of the project in the form of two large south-facing gardens between the individual and intermediate accommodation, with two edging vegetable gardens. A central garden preserving the existing trees is openly landscaped and introduces collective uses such as children’s playgrounds and rest areas.
The project presents collective, intermediate and individual housing where each building conveys its specificity in order to create volumetric and plastic diversity. The double pitched roof with large centered bays is found, however, at all scales, from single-family houses to the high ridge of collective buildings.
A custom-designed skyline has been set up to identify this new block, especially from the crossroads on rue du Docteur Roux or the one on the rue Roger Salengro. Likewise, contrasts of tints and colors for each building are offered. High grade stamped concrete is available in several colors and textures.
qualitative domestic scale
The architecture of the buildings is deliberately sober and refined. It uses a high grade domestic vocabulary: large living room windows and complementary window for another orientation, low 60cm spandrel for the bedrooms, generous windows in kitchens, alignments of the openings of the interior spaces towards the exterior, double height in the living rooms (sometimes under frame), large balconies terraces…
This classic vocabulary is declined in a contemporary way, it is an ordinary extra that is sought after and not an extraordinary facade.
This project adopts the construction principle of the P2P prefabricated concrete double wall. The exterior face of the wall is always clean because it is cast flat and stamped or colored on demand. Features of facades that are simple but unexpected in their effects are proposed: twin effects of crossing inverted matrices from one side of the buildings to the other. Inverted matrices react differently to light, their aspects change and contrast more or less depending on the hour of the day.

A Jesuit school in Massachusetts has been asked by the local diocesan bishop to take down Black Lives Matter (BLM) and homosexual “pride” rainbow flags displayed outside its building at the risk of losing its Catholic designation.
In an April 3 statement, Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester explained that the two flags, which have been displayed for over a year outside the Nativity School of Worcester, are not compatible with Catholic values and the teaching of the Catholic Church.
“As the Bishop of this diocese, I must teach that it is imperative that a Catholic School use imagery and symbols which are reflective of that school’s values and principles so as to be clear with young people who are being spiritually and morally formed for the future,” the bishop said.
“While our role in a school is not to convert those who are not Catholic, nor is it our role to deny our Catholic identity,” he added.

Dathan Ritzenhein, who raced competitively just once last season, will race twice next week as he charts a course towards making the U.S. Olympic team in 2016.
(AP file photo)
ROCKFORD, MI - Dathan Ritzenhein wasn't worried about his inactive 2014 season, but he is making sure to get an early start on the running year ahead.
The three-time Olympian plans two races within five days next week - a 10K at Campaccio Cross Country meet near Milan, Italy on Tuesday, Jan. 6, and then an elite division 4K at the Bupa Great Edinburgh Cross Country in Scotland on Jan. 10.
Ritzenhein has had about eight weeks of healthy training and, given the time of the year and limited outdoor races available, opted to go overseas for the two cross country events.
"I really haven't done anything too hard (in workouts), but I really just want to get out and race," the Rockford resident said. "And cross country is something I've always been good at, and it's something that comes pretty naturally to me, so I hope that makes up for a lack of fitness right now."
Ritzenhein, who turned 32 on Dec. 30, said the two races so close together will present a challenge, but he wanted a second event to make the trip worth it.
"The races just seem like a great idea and a great first start to the year and the timing was right," he said. "The second one is a fast turnaround and really more of a sprint, but I would have done a short, hard work out anyway. So, I figured, why not?"
The forecast in Milan calls for temperatures in the high 40s with dry conditions and sunny skies on Tuesday.
Ritzenhein, a three-time USA cross country champion (2005, 2008, 2010), has not raced since he placed 10th (49 minutes, 12 seconds) at the Crim 10 Mile in Flint on Aug. 23.
About a week afterward, he injured his ankle that scraped plans for a series of distance races and possibly a marathon to close the year. Instead, the Crim was his only race of 2014.
But Ritzenhein doesn't see the lack of racing last season as a drawback in his pursuit of making the Olympics a fourth time, and second as a marathoner. His last marathon was in Chicago in October, 2013 when he was fifth and the top American finisher (2:09:45).
"It's easy to fall into that trap, but I get into shape so fast that I think the most important step for me is to stay healthy," Ritzenhein said. "I'd rather undertrain a little bit as opposed to pushing the envelope.
"The year just turned over, and so I look at it that I have 13 months to prepare (for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials). If I put in 13 months of healthy training, I won't need to worry about any specific workout to hit it out of the park."
Ritzenhein has followed this path before. He endured an injury-plagued 2011 only to have a strong 2012 that included the Olympics in the 10,000 (he finished 13th) and a personal best in the marathon in 2:07:47 in Chicago.
"I just have to stick to my guns and know that I don't need to overdo it and make up for time lost," he said.
Ritzenhein expected his schedule for the spring to firm up in next few weeks. His year, he added, will include at least one marathon.
"I don't want to go from 2013 to 2016 without running one, but I really just have to be healthy for the trials," he said. "So it's kind of like counting backwards from there and doing what's best."
The U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials will be held Feb. 13, 2016 in Los Angeles. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will host the Summer Olympics from Aug. 5-21, 2016.
