Public Housing Use in Rural Pennsylvania
Pockets of Rural Prosperity
Trends in Rural Pennsylvania
New Programs, Updates Added to Online Database
Just the Facts: The Declining Birth Rate
The Center for Rural Pennsylvania is kicking off its 2004 Grant Program this month and is looking forward to another year of garnering important research and technical information.
In November 2003, the Center's Board of Directors awarded more than $500,000 in grant monies to seven faculty from the State System of Higher Education (SSHE) universities and four faculty from the Pennsylvania State University's main and Commonwealth campuses.
This year's projects focus on topics that include affordable housing, the meat and poultry processing industries, substance abuse and HIV/AIDS.
Following is a summary of the 2004 grant projects.
Pennsylvania Meat and Poultry Industry: Identifying Barriers and Needs for Small Processors
Dr. William R. Henning of Pennsylvania State University will survey 450 Pennsylvania meat and poultry plants to analyze the existing slaughter and processing capabilities in the state, and document the barriers and opportunities for small processors and livestock producers. Henning will also gather together industry representatives to find effective solutions to issues identified in the survey. One product of the research will be an inventory that will provide buyers, consumers and other processors with contact information and processing capacity.
Substance Abuse in Rural Pennsylvania: Present and Future
Dr. Laurie Roehrich of Indiana University of Pennsylvania will examine rates and trends of substance abuse in rural Pennsylvania, create inventories of treatment, prevention and model programs, perform a cost analysis summary of literature on rural substance use, and create and mail a survey aimed at rural Pennsylvania treatment providers in 12 counties statewide.
Inventory and Evaluation of HIV/AIDS Support Networks in Rural Pennsylvania
Dr. Mark Kilwein of Clarion University of Pennsylvania will investigate services and local support networks available to rural Pennsylvanians living with HIV/AIDS. This investigation will analyze the kinds of data available, and then summarize and report the data; observe current trends and make short term predictions of rural infection rates; describe current services available and the role of the state in funding and supporting these services; make comparisons between Pennsylvania and other states identified as leaders in the provision of services and data collection; and offer policy recommendations to the General Assembly.
A Study of the Future of Hunting in Pennsylvania
Dr. Thomas D. Wickham of California University of Pennsylvania will use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and social surveys in a mixed-method approach to assess the impact of residential relocation, urbanization, and higher education on hunter retention, hunter recruitment and hunting accessibility within Pennsylvania. The researcher will also identify and evaluate laws, regulations and policies affecting hunting participation. From the research, specific policy recommendations will be made to preserve hunting in Pennsylvania.
Agritourism in Pennsylvania: An Industry Assessment
Ms. Susan Ryan of California University of Pennsylvania will provide an assessment of this industry, which is a fusion of agricultural and tourism enterprises. The research will first establish what Pennsylvania currently offers as agritourism, and will then compare the information to a profile of the people who are considered "agritourists." Experts from the agricultural and tourism industries will be surveyed to identify barriers and opportunities for the industry.
The Consequences of Educational and Career Aspirations and Attainment Among Youth in Rural Pennsylvania
Dr. Anastasia Snyder of Pennsylvania State University will examine the educational and career aspirations and attainment of youth in rural Pennsylvania. The researcher will administer an in-school survey to approximately 2,000 rural students in Pennsylvania; 1,000 in the 7th grade and 1,000 in the 11th grade. The survey will include questions about individual, family, school and community factors that influence the students' educational and career goals and ideas about where to live in adulthood.
Market and Labor Force Factors in the Growth of the Wood Products Industry in Rural Pennsylvania
Dr. John E. Bodenman of Bloomsburg University will determine the market and resource orientation of the wood products industry in rural Pennsylvania, including market changes from 1987 to the present. The research will help to identify the markets that are driving the demand for rural Pennsylvania's wood products and the skills, education and demographic characteristics of the work force. The information and analysis will provide a foundation upon which further market development efforts may be built, future workforce needs may be forecast and workforce training programs may be developed for wood manufacturers in rural Pennsylvania.
Affordable Housing in Rural Pennsylvania
Dr. Rajen Mookerjee of Pennsylvania State University–Beaver will examine housing in rural Pennsylvania, particularly the supply of and demand for affordable housing. The analysis will use publicly available Census data and supplemental data sources to assess housing quality and quantity in all rural Pennsylvania counties. The analysis will quantify housing availability by tenure (own or rent), type, and affordability.
Childhood Asthma in Rural Pennsylvania: Building Schools' Capacity to Optimize Health
Dr. Marianne Hillemeier of Pennsylvania State University will quantify the childhood asthma burden and rural schools' capacity to meet children's needs by: surveying school nurses about asthma management polices and education/support programs; reviewing empirical and policy literature on school asthma management; and analyzing pediatric asthma hospitalization data. The overarching goal of the research is to develop policy interventions that heighten awareness and promote optimal health for rural children with asthma.
Prisons and Rural Communities: Exploring Economic Impact and Community Satisfaction
Dr. Kevin Courtright of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania will measure the perception of the economic impact of and community satisfaction with state correctional facilities located within rural communities in Pennsylvania. As a result of mail surveys to community residents, focus group interviews with government officials and local business leaders, and interviews with prison management (PA Department of Corrections), policy recommendations will be developed that should assist both the department and rural communities who are either considering prison development or looking to improve their existing relationship between the community and the institution.
Impact of Health Choices on Children's Mental Health Services in Rural Pennsylvania
In this mini grant, Dr. Donald U. Robertson of Indiana University of Pennsylvania will expand on his prior work on the differential impact of mandatory managed care on mental health services in urban and rural counties. Previous analysis of authorization data on children's mental health services will be extended to utilization data in both the southwest and Lehigh/Capital zones. Similar analyses will be conducted for six adult services. The use of children's outpatient and Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services in urban and rural counties that do not have mandatory managed care for Medical Assistance consumers will be analyzed.
Looking to 2005
As this year's grantees begin their projects, the Center's Board of Directors is identifying research topics that address relevant issues impacting Pennsylvania's 2.8 million rural residents for 2005. After topics have been identified, the Center will issue the Request for Proposals (RFP).
The Center's grant program is open to faculty at SSHE and Penn State universities. Cooperation and collaboration between these faculty and other public or private organizations on grant projects is encouraged.
The Grant Program offers a maximum funding level of $50,000 per project per year while the Mini Grant Program offers a maximum of $10,000 for nine months.
Mini grants are awarded for projects that focus on basic data collection and analysis, time-sensitive issues, and/or the preparation of reference materials.
For more information about the 2005 RFP or for more information about the 2004 grant projects, call the Center at (717) 787-9555 or visit our website at www.ruralpa.org.
As we begin another year, the Center for Rural Pennsylvania continues to look at issues and challenges facing our rural communities. Looking down over the list of research projects that were approved by the Board of Directors in November 2003, I look forward with much anticipation to the results of our research institutions' academic work. The research will provide state policymakers and local leaders with valuable information that can then be analyzed and applied to creating beneficial programs and improvements, where needed, for the people who live, work and play in rural areas.
While we hope every year brings good health and prosperity to all, there are many people in rural Pennsylvania who are struggling to make ends meet. Finding affordable public housing can be challenging for low-income families and others who find themselves in need of assistance. The Center for Rural Pennsylvania looked at the availability of public housing in rural areas through research conducted by Drs. Pamela C. Twiss and Thomas R. Mueller of California University of Pennsylvania. The researchers examined the size and location of public housing, those who most often live in these units, the length of time that people live in the units, and the role state government may take in ensuring that affordable public housing is available in rural areas. You can read more about the study and the results on page 4.
New Year resolutions are a tradition for most people. Some of us may resolve to become more computer literate in the 365 days that make up the year 2004. One reward for becoming more technologically savvy will be gleaning all of the online information and data that is now available through our Rural Access Guide. The Center recently updated the guide, which was first made available on our website in 2000. Federal, state and nonprofit grants, loans and technical assistance can be found with the click of a mouse when you visit our website at www.ruralpa.org. This could be your link to a brighter future for yourself and your rural community in the year ahead, so plan to give it a try.
I must admit that my capabilities of surfing the web and operating a computer are still on a steep learning curve four years since Y2K, but teaching old dogs new tricks is never easy. Last year, I learned how to send instant messages to my daughter, who is a college freshman. The key is giving it a try and having fun learning something new.
Finally, after reading the Trends article in our last issue of Rural Perspectives, Paul Lyskava, executive director of the Pennsylvania Forest Products Association, wrote to the Center for Rural Pennsylvania to point out the forest products industry in Pennsylvania includes roughly 3,000 establishments and 90,000 employees. He says: "Pennsylvania leads the nation in the production of hardwood lumber, accounting for about 10 percent of the annual national output. It also produces annual revenue in excess of $5.5 billion." Sawmills, paper mills and value-added wood producers are included in the entire forest products industry, he noted, along with consulting foresters and independent loggers. Thanks for sharing this information, Paul.
At the Center for Rural Pennsylvania, we are learning something new about Pennsylvania's rural communities every day. Thanks to all for your interest and input throughout the year. We look forward to hearing from you.
Public housing units are scattered across Pennsylvania's more rural counties, providing needed low-income housing to approximately 9,500 households. While these units are a stable source of housing in the state's rural counties, and while overall occupancy rates in most counties are quite high, existing data and a survey of public housing executives in 26 counties indicate that occupancy rates have declined in a number of counties. This and other findings are now available in the report, Exploring Public Housing Use in Rural Pennsylvania.
The report is based on a research project sponsored by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania and conducted by Dr. Pamela C. Twiss and Dr. Thomas R. Mueller of California University of Pennsylvania. The research, conducted in 2002, examined the size and location of the existing public housing stock in rural Pennsylvania; occupancy patterns over the past four years; the demographic characteristics of residents in rural public housing units over the past four years; and the perceptions of public housing authority chief executives regarding potential sources of these changes. The researchers also determined the role that state government can play in maximizing the use of public housing resources in rural Pennsylvania.
Gathering the data
The researchers used existing publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and collected additional data via telephone interviews with public housing managers. The sample for the project consisted of all Pennsylvania counties that were defined as rural by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania, according to its 1990 definition, and had a county-level public housing authority. Data on the public housing units in the county also had to be available through HUD's on-line data sources. The study included 31 rural counties that had both public housing authorities (PHAs) and low-rent units (public housing units). One urban county, Washington, was also included because of its proximity to two distressed rural areas. The rural counties of Adams, Crawford, Forest, Fulton, Juniata, Perry, Pike, Sullivan, Union, and Wayne were excluded from the study because they had either no public housing authority at the county level, only Section 8 units, no low-rent units, or too few units for sufficient data reporting.
In keeping with the demographics of rural Pennsylvania, the typical public housing resident in the research counties is white and non-Hispanic. The typical public housing resident in these counties is also more likely to have income from wages or a pension, including Social Security, than from welfare. The public housing stock in these counties, like the public housing stock available statewide and nationally, tends to shelter populations with special economic and social vulnerabilities, such as single parent households with young children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Survey data indicate that in most of the counties under study, the percentage of residents with physical or mental disabilities has increased in recent years. Consistent with changing federal policies, the percentage of residents with any income from wages and pensions also appears to be increasing in many of the counties included in this study. The typical public housing resident in these counties remains quite poor, however, with an average household income remaining under $10,000.
This latter finding highlights the continued economic vulnerability of those served by public housing, even when they have income from wages and pensions. It also highlights the need for on-going housing assistance from a variety of sources for poor people and their families in the counties included in this study.
Pennsylvania may be uniquely poised to assist public housing authorities and others engaged in efforts to preserve affordable housing, including the public housing program under HUD. This assistance may take a variety of forms. Based on the comments of the public housing executives surveyed and a review of the literature, it seems appropriate for the state to investigate opportunities to forge partnerships and take leadership in the following areas:
Communicate with public housing authorities and coordinate need-based planning for additional low-income housing units at the local, county, and regional level.
Facilitate consultation and cooperation between and among agencies of local government, local government leaders, state agency and legislative leaders, and public housing authorities.
Investigate opportunities for state government to provide information to the public on available public housing in its rural counties and increase referrals to public housing authorities.
Advocate for needed changes in national housing policies and programs that would allow public housing authorities to better serve low-income households in rural counties.
Increase funding at the state level for the production and preservation of housing affordable to low-income households.
Finally, the contemporary literature on housing policy strongly endorses efforts to develop affordable housing that are community- and locally-driven and that contribute to the total development of the community. The literature on public housing typically notes that stable, well-managed housing resources are critical to healthy families and the development of healthy children, as well as the economic health and well being of entire communities.

Pennsylvania's rural areas are often characterized as having lower incomes and lower housing values than urban areas. This characterization isn't quite accurate, however, since there are some conspicuous pockets of wealth within rural Pennsylvania.
To highlight the diversity of wealth among Pennsylvania's rural municipalities, the Center for Rural Pennsylvania analyzed the characteristics of rural municipalities whose median household incomes and median housing values were 125 percent of the statewide median.
The Census 2000 statewide median household income was $40,106, and the median value of owner-occupied housing units (or housing values) was $97,000. So, a municipality was considered affluent when the median household income was $50,133 or higher and the median housing value was $121,250 or greater.
For the analysis, a municipality was considered rural when its population density was less than 274 persons per square mile or its total population was less than 2,500 unless more than 50 percent of the population lived in an urbanized area, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Number of Municipalities
In 2000, 312 Pennsylvania municipalities, or 12 percent, met the criteria of affluence. Of these affluent municipalities, 92, or 29 percent, were rural, and 220, or 71 percent, were urban.
Of the 1,654 rural municipalities in Pennsylvania, affluent rural municipalities comprise 6 percent of the total. Urban affluent municipalities make up 24 percent of the total 912 urban municipalities.
Geographically, 59 percent of all affluent rural municipalities were located in southeast and south central Pennsylvania; 89 of these municipalities are townships. Affluent boroughs comprise 11 percent of the total. Affluent rural municipalities are generally clustered together and located near affluent urban municipalities.
Among the 92 rural affluent municipalities in Pennsylvania, the average population was about 3,270 in 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, these municipalities had a 17 percent population increase. Along with the increase in population, these municipalities saw a surge in new households, especially those with children. During the 1990s, the number of households in rural affluent municipalities increased 21 percent and the number of married-couples-with-children households increased 4 percent.
According to Census 2000, approximately 3 percent of the residents in affluent rural municipalities lived on a farm. Of the state's total farm population of 85,370, nearly 9 percent lived in affluent rural municipalities.
During the 1990s, rural affluent municipalities had a 19 percent increase in housing units. Statewide during this period, the number of housing units increased 6 percent.
Homeownership rates in affluent rural municipalities are higher than the statewide rate. In 2000, more than 86 percent of the occupied units in affluent rural municipalities were owner-occupied and the number of owner-occupied units increased 21 percent between 1990 and 2000.
Rural affluent municipalities are not employment hubs. More than 87 percent of employed persons living in these municipalities travel outside their municipality to work. The average commuting time is 29 minutes. The majority of persons living in affluent rural communities (70 percent) are employed in management positions or professional or white-collar positions, which include architects, engineers, physicians, and attorneys.
In 2000, the average household income from wages and salaries in affluent rural municipalities was about $62,460, or $10,240 above the statewide average.
Income/Poverty
Census 2000 indicates that the average household income from salaries, wages and unearned sources in affluent rural municipalities was nearly $67,230, or $13,610 above the statewide average. Adjusted for inflation, the average household income in these municipalities increased 11 percent between 1990 and 2000.
Despite the pockets of wealth in rural communities, poverty continues to exist in other rural municipalities. In 2000, approximately 4 percent of the rural population lived below the poverty threshold, or an average of 143 people per municipality.
Rural affluent municipalities have nearly the same percentage of adults with college degrees as the statewide average of 23 percent. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of adults with a college degree in affluent rural communities increased 60 percent. Statewide, there was a 41 percent increase.

The Trends in Rural Pennsylvania series will resume in the March/April issue of Rural Perspectives. The Center for Rural Pennsylvania is waiting for the release of more current data to report on the remaining topics of local infrastructure, agriculture and economic development.
The Center for Rural Pennsylvania has added new programs and updated the current information in its online Rural Access Guide, located at www.ruralpa.org. The updated guide includes more than 360 sources of information on state, federal and nonprofit grants, loans and other assistance programs available to public and nonprofit organizations and individuals.
In 1994, the Center for Rural Pennsylvania first published the Rural Access Guide as a booklet, which was a scaled down version of a much larger database of information. The booklet was widely distributed throughout the state and was well received by rural residents, local government officials, and community organizations.
Since then, the guide has been updated in 2000 and again in January 2004. The latest update of the guide, however, is solely available through the Center's website.
"Because of the increased use of the Internet and as a cost-saving measure, the Center decided that the guide should be offered on the Center's website only," says Director Barry Denk.
As with earlier versions, this database version of the Rural Access Guide is not intended to be the final stop for information.
"It is more of a starting point from which rural and small town residents might more successfully begin their journey through the maze of financial and informational sources that are available at both the state and national levels," says Rep. Sheila Miller, chairman of the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. "We hope that the Rural Access Guide will help rural residents take advantage of more programs that are available to them so that they might continue to answer the needs of their communities."
To use the Rural Access Guide, visit the Center for Rural Pennsylvania's website at www.ruralpa.org.
In 2002 . . .

The average size of a farm in Pennsylvania was 131 acres.
37 percent of all farm cash receipts came from milk and dairy products.
Of Pennsylvania's agricultural commodities:
36.7 percent are dairy products.
9.7 percent are cattle and calves.
9.7 percent are mushrooms.
8.9 percent are from greenhouses/nurseries.
6.9 percent are chicken eggs.

Throughout rural America, there is concern about the outmigration of young people. Yet an equally significant trend affecting rural communities is the declining birth rate. In rural Pennsylvania, the number of births is at a 40-year low.
According to data from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, in 2002, there were about 33,500 live births to mothers living in rural counties. That's a 17 percent decline from 1992. As a result of this decline, the rural birth rate in 2002 was 9.8 births for every 1,000 residents, while in 1992, the rate was 12.1 for every 1,000 residents. In the state's urban areas, the birth rate in 2002 was higher at 11.6 births for every 1,000 residents.
Despite the higher birth rate, Pennsylvania's urban areas are also seeing a decline in the number of births. Between 1992 and 2002, the number of urban births declined 16 percent. Nationally, the number of births has also slowed.
Using a slightly different time frame of 1990 to 2000, the number of births across the United States declined 2 percent. The New England states of Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine had the largest decline of more than 17 percent, while the western states of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Arizona had the highest increases of over 23 percent. Pennsylvania ranked 44th in the number of births among the 50 states.
One reason for the declining birth rate is the number of women in their prime child-producing years. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of rural women between 15 and 34 years old declined 11 percent.
Another contributing factor for the low birth rate is the low total fertility rate. As an estimate of the average number of children a woman would have during her lifetime, a rate at or above 2.00 would represent replacement levels for each parent. In 2000, the total fertility rate in Pennsylvania's rural counties was 1.75, which is below the replacement level.
In the coming years, the current low birth rate will be most noticeable in school enrollment. According to enrollment projections by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, rural schools are likely to see a 12 percent enrollment decline between the 2001 and 2012 school years. This decline is on top of the 2 percent drop in enrollment between the 1996 and 2001 school years.

The wildfire began Friday night and was only 5 percent contained by Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters continued to battle a deadly California wildfire on Wednesday as the blaze spread, authorities said.
As of Wednesday, the Ferguson Fire, which had seized parts of the Mariposa county area for the past five days, had threatened about 108 homes and businesses and had more than 1,800 local and state firefighters deployed to address the area. The fire grew to more than 17,000 acres, officials of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, said Wednesday.
The fire was relatively quiet overnight, the joint federal-state-local incident command unit said Wednesday afternoon, allowing crews to restore power to some areas.
Braden Varney, 36, a heavy fire equipment operator for Cal Fire, was killed Saturday, according to officials. Varney's body was recovered in Sierra National Forest with the assistance of California Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 5.
"But he hasn't been alone," Cal Fire spokesman Jeremy Rahn told Sierra News Online, which covers Yosemite and the surrounding region/ "Cal Fire and our Honor Guard have been by his side the entire time."
The California Highway Patrol closed Highway 140 in the first few hours of the wildfire on Friday.
"One of the entrances to the park on Highway 140 route has been impacted, but Yosemite National Park is open, and we are not encouraging or discouraging anyone from coming," said Ranger Jamie Richards, Yosemite's spokeswoman.
The other three entrances to the park remain open, and Richards said there was no immediate impact in visitors.
"This may be the only time some families can come visit the park, so if they chose to come, we will welcome them and are ready to serve," she said.


ATLANTA – Mehboob Mansurali Charania was arraigned on charges relating to his involvement in a transnational criminal organization that victimized over 340 people in the United States through a fraudulent India-based call-center scheme, resulting in over $200,000 in losses. Charania was indicted by a federal grand jury on November 6, 2018.
According to U.S. Attorney Pak, the charges, and other information presented in court: The indictment alleges that the defendant took part in a sophisticated scheme organized in India, including a network of call centers. Call center operators allegedly telephoned U.S. residents and misled the potential victims into sending money utilizing a number of different confidence scams.
Charania, a citizen of India residing in Atlanta, was arraigned on November 7, 2018 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Justin S. Anand. Members of the public are reminded that the indictment only contains charges. The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government's burden to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

Newmark Completes Sale of Single-Tenant Net Lease…
Newmark Completes Sale of Single-Tenant Net Leased Grocer Property in Walla Walla, WA for $16.2 Million
December 14th, 2020 11:00am
Net Lease Capital Markets
Irvine - Von Karman Ave
December 14, 2020, 11:00AM
Newmark announces the sale of a single-tenant, net leased grocer property for nearly $16.2 million. The 60,026-square-foot building, occupied by a national grocer on a long-term lease, is located at 450 N. Wilbur Avenue, Washington.
Newmark's Executive Managing Director Matt Berres and Director Samer Khalil cooperated with Executive Managing Directors Billy Sleeth and Paul Sleeth to represent the seller, an undisclosed publicly traded REIT. The undisclosed, Hawaii-based buyer is a 1031-exchange investor.
"Single-tenant properties occupied by major grocers in good locations have continued to be highly sought after by net lease investors across the country," said Berres. "We continue to see competitive bid processes and aggressive pricing in the grocery space due to the dearth of inventory available."
Khalil added, "This property checked all the boxes as an ideal net lease investment and traded at an aggressive cap rate for the market due to the strong national tenant and long-term passive lease structure with fixed rental increases."
Berres and his team have been extremely active as of late with more than fifteen single-tenant properties sold in the past two months and another 15 in escrow, further confirming that "essential" tenants, strong credit, long-term passive lease structures and quality underlying real estate fundamentals are at the top of net lease investors' wish lists during the pandemic.
Berres noted, "We expect the trend to continue into 2021 and beyond with "essential" tenants – grocery, drug stores, convenience stores, etc. – and, of course select industrial properties, being the safe havens within the net lease sector for private, institutional and foreign investors alike."
The property is positioned within the Eastgate Marketplace Shopping Center with national and regional retailers including Staples, Harbor Freight Tools and Cascade Farm & Outdoors. It is easily accessible from Highway 12 with five points of entry around the center's perimeter. Additional major retailers in the area include Walmart Supercenter, Safeway, Grocery Outlet, Home Depot and Hobby Lobby.
The property, situated on a prominent retail corridor, is occupied by the third largest grocer in the U.S. with a long-term commitment and fixed annual rental increases. Walla Walla is in southeast Washington at the base of the Blue Mountains and the city serves as the hub of Walla Walla County's economy with a diverse mix of healthcare institutions, industrial manufacturing, agriculture, tourism and higher education facilities. The city is known for wine production, with over $100 million in revenue directly related to the wine industry on an annual basis.

Which exception in Java will catch just this part?
Will SocketException work here? I want to call failure management only when host/client go down and not on any other issue.

A: You need to distinguish between the server going down (being shutdown, resulting in an IOException), the server not being available when you initiate a connection (ConnectException), and the server going offline (imagine a network cable being pulled out). This will usually manifest itself with a SocketTimeoutException or similar.
I would run a process up and try out all the scenarios you expect to handle. You'll have to deal with timeouts differently to explicit disconnects etc.

Q: Rules of quenching across phase transition Consider a Hamiltonian undergoing phase transition
$$H(g) = H_{0} + g H_{1}$$
when $g>g_{c}$.  Let us consider an initial state which is the ground state of Hamiltonian with $g<g_{c}$ is suddenly quenched across phase transition by a Hamiltonian with $H(g_{f} = g>g_{c})$.
After quenching, the state goes to a complicated state which can be written as a superposition of states of the basis states of $H(g_{f}= g>g_{c})$.
$$\vert \psi_{f} \rangle = \sum_{i} C_{n} \vert \phi_{n}(g_{f})\rangle$$
The above expression says that there is a finite probability that the system can be any one of the eigenstates of $H(g_{f}= g>g_{c})$. My question is suppose a quantum system is transitioning from one state to other state, physically there are rules that allow or forbid certain transitions.  For example, In hydrogen atom problem, there are transition rules which forbids certain transitions inside the atom. Are there such transition rules exists in quenching a state from ground state of a Hamiltonian from one phase to another phase? If yes, what are they, give me specific example if possible.

Maria G. Leuci, age 72, of Apalachin, NY died peacefully at UHS Wilson Memorial Hospital on Monday, April 1, 2019 after a four year battle with triple-negative breast cancer. Maria was born October 31, 1946 in Corato, Italy and is survived by her devoted husband of 52 years, Vincenzo Leuci, daughter Phyllis Leuci (husband Brian Moser), son Dominick Leuci (husband Antonio Moreno) and grandson Brian D. Moser. She is also survived by her beloved sister Nunzia Falco (Vincenzo) and family of Trani, Italy, as well as brother-in-law Alessandro Leuci and family of Corato Italy. Maria also leaves behind best friends, Antoinetta and Benedetto Muggeo, as well as aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, godchildren and dear friends, Cheryl and Bob Irons. Maria was predeceased by her father, Giuseppe Ardito (step mother Pina) and mother Clementina Quinto Ardito.
Her life revolved around her children and giving them every opportunity for a successful life with an emphasis on education, fairness and truth. She and her husband immigrated to Endicott, NY from Italy where she worked as an accomplished, professional seamstress, while finally retiring from Amphenol. Maria had a knack for creating beautiful clothes and making everyone who wore them feel special and beautiful.
She had a strong will and lived life to the fullest, with one of her most favorite and memorable sayings being "keep on going". She expressed her creativity through her love of cooking, sewing and tending to her flowers. Every one of her endeavors was done right or not done at all and she exemplified perseverance, joy and humor in light of every struggle, as well as a deep love for her family. Maria's family would like to express their gratitude to two very special individuals, cousins Jackie and Vincent Fabiano, who loved, cared for and helped Maria throughout her struggle and were a comfort and source of strength to the entire Leuci family. Her caregivers at Broome Oncology, especially Dr. Yalamanchili, Debbie Schaffer and Jennifer McCormick, supported and guided Maria through her battle with this disease and the family is grateful for their compassion and care.
Funeral Services will be held Friday 12 pm from the Allen Memorial Home, 511-513 East Main Street, Endicott. Entombment will be in Riverhurst Cemetery, Endicott. The family will receive friends at the Allen Memorial Home Friday from 11 am until service time at 12 pm.
In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in Maria's memory can be made to the American Cancer Society or the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

19-year-old British social media addict commits suicide
A 19-year-old British social media addict has reportedly ended her own life after she was unable to amass enough followers and likes on her various accounts.
Chloe Davison, 19, was an aspiring model who relied on social media to feel good about herself, according to her older sister Jade.
"She thought she wasn't good enough unless she was getting loads of likes and comments," her 20-year-old sister said.
ALSO READ: Man commits suicide after being denied US entry
The 19-year-old British teen hanged herself in her bedroom moments after she had been active on social media.
After the girl started using social media several years ago, "all she would talk about was how many likes she got," her mum Clair Reynolds, 44, said.
"She was addicted to apps like Instagram and Snapchat," said family friend Nick Coombs, 55, who had known Chloe since she was young.
"She would spend hours taking the perfect photo, but would delete it later if it didn't get popular enough," Coombs added.
Chloe struggled socially at school and rarely went out with friends, instead of staying indoors and taking pictures of herself for social media.
The pretty 19-year-old was often targeted by online trolls who would send her nasty messages and mocked her appearance.
"Chloe was crying many nights because someone had said something horrible about her online," her older sister Jade Davison told the news.
On Friday night, Chloe's mum and sister returned home from a bar around 11:30 pm and found the teenager hanging in her bedroom.
Chloe had been taking selfies moments before she killed herself, according to Nick Coombs, 55, who was at the house when the brunette was found dead.
"When we took her body down, her hair and makeup were still perfect," Coombs said. "She was wearing some new lingerie that she'd been excited to model."
The girl's mum, Clair Reynolds, said she blamed social media for what happened. "Social media took over Chloe's life, whether that be Snapchat or Facebook."
She added: "Chloe was beautiful, but she didn't see that. She cared too much about how other people saw her."
Coombs said that too many people felt they could say whatever they wanted to the attractive teen because it wasn't face-to-face.
"She'd get hundreds of messages each day, mostly men asking her for sexual stuff," Coombs said. "Sometimes they were nice, but other times they told Chloe they wanted to hurt her."
Both adults agreed that the girl had low self-esteem and relied on social media for reassurance.
The 19-year-old had thousands of social media followers when she killed herself.

» Martian Economics - Imports, exports or independence?
Re: Martian Economics - Imports, exports or independence?
To clarify the poll choices:
1) Exports to Earth, the Moon, space colonies, and asteroids.
2) Imports from Earth, the Moon, space colonies and/or asteroids.
3) Imports and exports, trading with Earth, Luna, space colonies and asteroids, etc.
4) self explanatory
RobS
From: South Bend, IN
Actually, this poll does not strike me as self explanatory at all. Human beings will associate with each other, and that means they will buy and sell. So of course Mars will buy; of course it will sell; and of course it will be partially integrated into the human economy. The real question is how much. It is not clear that complete economic independence is a good thing, nor is it clear complete economic dependence will be good. There will be little girls on Mars watching terrrestrial tv on cable who will want the latest Barbie Dolls. Why should we say they can't have them? There will be Martian filmmakers who want their movies to sell on Earth; shouldn't they get royalties?
-- RobS
I voted for independence, because I don't see why Mars should be dependent, and I honestly don't see how it could be economical, because interdependence would require, I think, too much infrastructure to keep everything working properly. Plus, new, more efficient techniques will be invented over time, so some processes we are used to will definitely change, and the things we once thought were important trade items will no longer be.
This doesn't mean that I think that all trade would be non-existant (and I don't think that the independence vote suggests that, either). I think it would just be minimized greatly, and only reserved for cultural or other luxury items.
I think AI will make things easier.
RobS, I think the keyword is "need."
Certainly we'll continue human traditions. I don't think this poll suggests that we wouldn't. But are those traditions necessary for survival? I think that's what he's talking about.
Yes, "need" is the keyword. Will Mars rely on 3He from Saturn or will Mars have an abundance of geothermal energy??? Will there be local martian talent, a Beatles of the future, that rocks the solar system? A "martian invasion." Certainly, entertainers from Mars would be an export.
I think the answer, at least in the inner solar system, lies in the availablity of energy. You require energy to get things done, and it just so happens that the sun provides ridiculous amounts of energy up until about Mars or the asteroid belt. And this energy is basically free, no one can possibly 'control' it; so it would be quite wise to base your inner solar system life support and travel systems upon using energy from the sun, this way you don't have to worry about having enough He3 to make a journey or whatever.
I do think people will try to work it that way, though (ie, first everyone would depend on one elevator, then everyone might depend upon the first interplanetary travel system, and so on), I just think that in the end it will prove to be too costly.

Of course Mars will have export and import. To colonize Mars you will need a lot of machines that are so complex that it will be impossible to produce them on Mars until the population is at least several million people. So you will have to import them from Earth. To pay for them Mars has to export something that Earth wants or take credit which later to pay with it's production.

Mars will have to have both imports and exports because it wont be able to do anything really because the factroies wont be set up very quickily :up:
The sky is the limit...unless you live in a cave
Curiously, a possible export is WATER.
Unless we develop cheap access to LEO, water might well be worth $10,000 a pound in LEO. Even with cheap access to LEO water would be worth far more than $10,000 a pound on Luna, if the supposed lunar polar ice deposits cannot be located.
If magnesium based solid rockets could be fabricated on Mars using Mars-made plastics for rocket casings and payload fairings or by using salvaged spacecraft aluminum having no other use then close to 100% of the market value of water shipped to Luna could be repaid to Terran investors in the Mars colony.

The proximity of asteroid belt resources to mine platinum group metals is also potentially lucrative. Those metals are one of teh few things that would actually be economical to ship across the solar system. Platinum is presently $30,000/kg. The delta V to get from the asteroids to Mars LMO is about 2.7 km/s and from there, a 0-energy trajectory to LEO is prety much free. A total delta V of about 3 km/s requires relatively little money to accomplish. The demand for platunim group metals is nearly limitless. Many thigns like pollution reduction, hydrogen storage cells and other technologies are basically stymied by a low availability of these metals. A Mars base, properly equipped, could actually start paying for it's own development.
Of course, export enough Platinum and the value will drop.
Keep in mind that the lunar regolith is one percent meteoritic material. Martian regolith should be the same. A robotic magnetic separator should be able to extract the nickel-iron from the regolith pretty easily, and since the machine will be near humans, it can be serviced often. Mars has the carbon to extract platinum and such using carbonyl fractionation. The moon doesn't, but could import carbon and is closer to earth. So those worlds will do "asteroid mining" first; on their own land. Who knows whether mining of real asteroids will prove to be cheaper, because the remoteness and long flight times will be formidable challenges for human involvement.
The value will drop but not as much as one would expect. For one thing, as price drops, more and more technological applications will open up, keeping the price from dropping excessively. Even if platunum group metals drop 10-fold in price, it will still probably be profitable to send it to Earth.

Like a Gold Rush, played out once again ?
SBird, hmm, interesting comments about platinum, but the value of platinum wouldn't necessarily be Mars' alone. Shipping asteroids into Earth orbit (be it the lagrange points or actual orbit) could prove far cheaper.
I think Bill may be on to something, if only for the fact that most water is out past Pluto (moons of the giant planets could also prove lucrative places to find water). Author C. Clarke accurately, I think, surmises that water is the most valuable thing in the future. Certainly it would be for any organic species wishing to expand.
From: Eta Cassiopeiae (no, Sweden re
Okay, once more I'll state the obvious. Water is all good and well but remains an in space commodity. What's really important are commodities demanded on the Terran market. It's people on Earth who pay for space programs, after all.
Not to flood Earth with cheap PGM's or deuterium is certainly an important balancing issue. I wrote a post a while back listing the current world consumtion of Platinum Group Metals and it settled somewhere in the several hundreds of tonnes range. SBird is correct that lowered prices will meet new applications and increased demand, but a balancing issue it remains. Economical development on Earth will still have to be able to keep up.
Fusion technology breakthrough on Earth will provide an obvious watershed for a potential import staple in the form of deuterium.
Agree with RobS about the industrial activity sequence to be expected: Mars will start out doing "asteroid mining", followed by the Moon and then the asteroids. If for nothing else it's a question of demand.
As for the poll choices both the last points are equally valid in my opinion. Mars will need to import and thus to export but will also have to develop an independent economy to the greatest extent possible, simply because of reasons that should be obvious to everyone concerned.
This post was made before I started reading about the low cost Russian rockets. The price of water will match the price per pound of launch to LEO or Luna.
Since Mars to Luna and Mars to LEO are similiar in terms of delta V, Mars is a logical source of food and water for a lunar base, as paradoxical as that might seem.
Zubrin discusses this in Case for Mars.
If Mars settlers can fabricate Mars to Luna transport from materials derived substantially from Mars (magnesium solid fuel boosters, for example in plastic or salvaged aluminum rocket casings) then nearly 100% of the value of food and water shipped to Luna can be counted as income to offset the costs of building a settlement.
I always thought it would make more sense for Mars to supply any space station at the Larange points versus the Moon. The moon, by and large, can become self sufficient in the production of food and water (assuming water ice). If Mars can do it, then the Moon can to.
Buildings are largely the same. Power requirements are largely the same. The only major difference is radiation levels and gravity.
I might add, it would be cheaper to build and send advanced material used in construction on Earth from the Moon versus Earth. One reason why those who wish to settle the red planet may want to support a return to the Moon. It simply lowers the price a little bit for the future Martians.
Lunar agriculture will be hampered by a lack of carbon dioxide, no? Matching human respiration to plant respiration will be far more tricky than simply drawing in CO2 from the atmosphere.
Lunar water remains a big "IF" - - If meters thick glaciers are found in the shade of craters, my enthusiasm for significant lunar development grows considerably.
Otherwise, "moon first" is mostly for the experience and the perceived closeness.
You won't have much of a space faring civilization, in space, unless we figure out how to keep the plants alive. And getting to Mars takes time- don't we want to grow plants on the way, or back? Same problem as the Moon, no?
Plant's don't need that much CO2. Even a saturated environment is breathable for humans, and I think it's not that much of a problem if were talking about converting all these other different gasses/materials into other things.
I think Lunar water is increasingly unlikely... I mean, it's probably there in very small quantities somewhere or another, but the experiments we have done to discover it in larger quantities have so far found nothing. We knew there was water on Mars way back in the freakin' 70s.
So water is still quite a valuable resource, space commodity or not. All organics need it.
And getting to Mars takes time- don't we want to grow plants on the way, or back? Same problem as the Moon, no?
Why would you want to grow plants on the way to Mars or back? A passage to Mars will take about six months give or take depending on the trajectory and the propulsion system used.
Adequate provisions for that kind of journey can always be supplied, I think. It worked in the age of wooden ships and iron men, so why not now?
Not to mention that there is no nitrogen on the Moon. This is a main reason why I don't see Lunar agriculture happening, even if they do find meters of polar ice glaciers.
It will always be easier just to carry food along, especially by unmanned freighters from Mars.
Cyclers dude. Permanent ships in a Earth-Mars transit orbit are more robust if they can supply as much of their own needs as possible.
Isn't nitrogen an issue on Mars too?
Polyethylene. Plastics! Mars future is found in making plastics.
US Space Command troopers on Luna will need drinking cups and tableware and sleeping bags and polyethylne shielding for their roof. Mars-made plastic can be sold for at least the launch costs of Earth to Luna.
Shipment to L1 is even better although with a solar ion tug at L1, shipping cargo from L1 to Luna is fairly close to free.
Longer term, Mars will be the general store for asteroid missions. Made on Earth ships travel to low Mars orbit to refuel, give the crew ground leave, and stock up on fresh food. Then off to the Belt.
Cyclers was exactly what I was thinking about. I just don't see the reason of must-have-big-floating-greenhouse with soil, fertilizer, water and all the other things in a cycler. Besides, cargo freighters would benefit from being unmanned and then you won't need any life support at all.
Granted, if you somehow could design a fully self sustaining system for provisions, it would save a few SSTO flights to the cycler. From Earth such launches are costly because of the limited payload capacity, but all in all, it's hardly a showstopper.
Anyhow, I wouldn't rule out that small scale agriculture could be practical in spaceships and therefore on the Moon, I don't know exactly, but for any large scale sustenance operation, like in fantasies of lunar cities, you need nitrogen and carbon easily at hand. It won't do shipping dirt to the Moon.
I believe it's a superficial issue. Thing is the Viking landers weren't equipped to take nitrogen measurements from Mars soil, so it's actually a big unknown, but it's present in the atmosphere in about the same percentage relative to other elements as on Earth I think, given that the Martian atmosphere is much thinner. Well, I like to recall as much at least. I'll check it out.

$22 Million Whistleblower Award for Company Insider Who Helped Uncover Fraud
Washington D.C., Aug. 30, 2016 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the award of more than $22 million to a whistleblower whose detailed tip and extensive assistance helped the agency halt a well-hidden fraud at the company where the whistleblower worked.
The $22 million-plus award is the second-largest total the SEC has awarded a whistleblower. The largest, $30 million, was awarded in 2014.
"Company employees are in unique positions behind-the-scenes to unravel complex or deeply buried wrongdoing. Without this whistleblower's courage, information, and assistance, it would have been extremely difficult for law enforcement to discover this securities fraud on its own," said Jane Norberg, Acting Chief of the SEC's Office of the Whistleblower.
The SEC's whistleblower program, which has been rewarding valuable information from tipsters since its inception in 2011, has now surpassed $100 million in total money awarded. More than $107 million has been awarded to 33 whistleblowers who became eligible for an award by voluntarily providing the SEC with original and useful information that led to a successful enforcement action. Whistleblower awards can range from 10 percent to 30 percent of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million. All payments are made out of an investor protection fund established by Congress that is financed through monetary sanctions paid to the SEC by securities law violators. No money has been taken or withheld from harmed investors to pay whistleblower awards.
By law, the SEC protects the confidentiality of whistleblowers and does not disclose information that might directly or indirectly reveal a whistleblower's identity.
