The Journal of Visualized Experiments
As of July 2, 2012, JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments) launches the first and only scientific video publication for physics and engineering. The journal is opening a new section, JoVE: Applied Physics, in addition to its current sections in biology and medicine. It will focus on the experimental disciplines within physics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and interdisciplinary fields such as materials science and chemical physics.
Already, submissions for publication in JoVE: Applied Physics have been coming from leading academic institutions around the world, including the California Institute of Technology in California, USA; the Leibniz Institute in Berlin, Germany; and the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.
The opening article features a method to fabricate thin-film solar cells from the laboratory of Dr. Sergey Varlamov at the School of Photovoltaics at University of New South Wales in Australia. "One of the major trends in solar energy conversion is reducing the thickness of solar cells. It both saves the expensive semiconductor material and allows more cost-effective manufacturing" explained Dr. Varlamov. Through an alternative approach to light scattering, Dr. Varlamov's lab has demonstrated that they can increase solar cell potential by 45%, while at the same time reducing thickness.
Dr. Varlamov mentioned that "new light-trapping techniques need to be developed now, concurrently with reduction of commercial solar cell thickness and introduction of new thin solar cell technologies", and that JoVE "provided an opportunity to demonstrate both the poly-Si thin-film cell technology and the principle of plasmonic light-trapping in an easy-to-understand visual form."
"It is JoVE's first step outside of the biological sciences and is anticipated to be the first of many," said Meghan Berryman, Associate Editor for JoVE: Bioengineering, "JoVE has been previously commended for increasing productivity in biological sciences and we are confident that this new section will help open a window into the physical sciences. JoVE is both pleased and excited to move into this foundational field. It is a natural next step in the process of building a novel video-based scientific publication."

Spain promises to attack Italy in Euro 2012 final
By PAUL LOGOTHETIS
AP Sports Writer
Associated Press Sports
updated 4:29 p.m. ET June 30, 2012
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -Spain will play attacking football against Italy in the European Championship final. The defending champions just hope Italy returns the favor.
Both teams go into Sunday's final at the Olympic Stadium promising to maintain the tactics that have brought them here. Spain coach Vicente del Bosque promised an attacking lineup comprised of three forwards, which did little to clear up whether Spain will use its midfield-heavy attack or field a single striker.
He also brushed off criticism that Spain's attack lacks the cutting edge it had during the team's Euro 2008 and 2010 World Cup triumphs.
"We have more of an obligation to attack than to defend because we have players with capabilities to do so," Del Bosque said on Saturday. "Football moves forward and there has been a change of players in the team, but the nucleus remains the same. We're playing the same way we always have."
Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres have shared the most of the responsibility for Spain's attack. David Silva has looked fatigue and there is speculation he could make way for Pedro Rodriguez, who has been impressive in his two appearances off the bench.
Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has meanwhile promised to maintain Italy's current style, which has not only helped it to the final but has come as a surprise compared to its normally defensive ways.
"A team that has (Andrea) Pirlo, (Claudio) Marchisio and (Riccardo) Montolivo is a team that wants to play football, there's no doubt," Del Bosque said. "It's an open final because we've both followed parallel styles to get here. Our styles of play have been very similar, I don't see much of a difference."
Italy has played with a certain flair normally attributed to Spain, which is vying to win a third straight major title. Spain and Italy played to a 1-1 draw in their Group C opener, when Italy was one of the few teams not to sit back and to strike on the counterattack.
"We have to wait until tomorrow to see what the Italy coach does," Spain playmaker Xavi Hernandez said. "Italian football isn't what it was two years ago, now they want the ball. They've got a great team and they know how to compete."
All the ingredients are there for a memorable final.
"Italy has changed, they've got better as the tournament went on and they deserve to be in the final," Del Bosque said. "We can't think we'll face a defensive Italy because they have never showed that here. They come (into the final) playing a certain way and I imagine they will maintain it for this last game against us."

New Vilma lawsuit asks for quick appeal ruling
NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is suing the NFL in federal court, claiming Commissioner Roger Goodell failed to make a timely appeal ruling regarding Vilma's season-long suspension in connection with the league's bounty investigation.
The lawsuit filed Saturday night in U.S. District Court in New Orleans also asks for a temporary restraining order to allow Vilma to continue working if Goodell upholds the suspension.
The suit contends Goodell has undermined "the integrity of the NFL and the Commissioner's office" by handing down punishments to Vilma and others based on evidence that is either flawed or cannot be substantiated.
It is the second lawsuit Vilma has filed in the matter. The first, filed in May and also in federal court in New Orleans, seeks unspecified damages from Goodell for defamation of character.
In his latest filing, Vilma claims that the NFL's collective bargaining agreement required Goodell to rule as soon as was practical following a June 18 appeal hearing. Because players, in protest, declined to present new evidence or argue their case in the hearing, Goodell should have been able to rule by June 25, the first business day after the record was closed in the matter, the lawsuit argues.
It was not clear if the NFL had seen the suit. Messages left with two league spokesmen Saturday night were not immediately returned.
In his latest attack of the NFL's handling of the bounty probe, Vilma contends punished players have only been able to see less than 1 percent of the 18,000 documents the league said it has compiled. His suit also claims that the few key pieces of evidence the league shared are flawed, including printed reproductions of handwritten notes.
"The NFL's alteration of other documents evidences that the NFL cannot substantiate the suspension, and undermines the integrity of the process," Vilma's lawsuit states.
The lawsuit seeks to discredit a key piece of evidence outlining bounty pledges from before the NFC championship game against Minnesota in January 2010, and also takes aim at fired assistant coach Mike Cerullo, who, according to Vilma, produced the document for the league.
Cerullo had a vendetta against the Saints after his firing following the 2009 season, and resented that the Super Bowl ring he received had been made with imitation (cubic zirconia) diamonds, the lawsuit contends.
The lawsuit claims Cerullo created the document "well after the 2009 NFC Championship game and in an effort to gain revenge against the Saints."
The suit further contends that a "close associate" of Cerullo has confirmed that Cerullo retracted his previous claims about the bounty program "in a communication directly with Goodell that occurred in April 2012."
The lawsuit notes that Goodell has not shared notes from interviews with Cerullo. Goodell also did not produce Cerullo as a witness at the appeal hearing or acknowledge Cerullo's retraction.
However, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello has denied that key witnesses in the bounty probe have retracted statements.
Aiello also has said the NFL has not issued any gag orders. Vilma's latest lawsuit, however, claims the NFL has ordered suspended former Saints defensive coordinator Greg Williams not to speak with suspended Saints players, coaches or officials as a condition for his reinstatement.
The NFL has said that Williams, who is suspended indefinitely, organized a bounty system that offered cash for hits that injured opponents, and which ran during his three seasons as defensive coordinator in New Orleans from 2009-11.
A close friend and associate of Williams, who was present for at least one discussion Williams had with Goodell, contends Williams never acknowledged the existence of a bounty program, Vilma's lawsuit said.
Williams' associate also contends that Williams has no information corroborating NFL findings that Vilma offered a $10,000 bounty for knocking quarterbacks Kurt Warner or Brett Favre out of 2009-10 playoff games.
The same associate confirmed that Goodell ordered Williams not to speak about the bounty matter with other punished individuals, the lawsuit said.

[Opinion] Nobody wins If Luke Campbell Can?t Coach High School Football
Luther Campbell and my high school football coach taught me a lot about life and women. Maybe not politically correct things about women, but one of my first encounters with the philosophies of handling women inside the bedroom and outside the bedroom centered on Uncle Luke?s raps and DVD?s and my high school football coach?s locker room talk. My head coach introduced me to the infamous ??four eff?s?? that every man learns from an older male figure: Find ?em, fool ?em, f*ck ?em and leave them. Uncle Luke introduced me to the ??f*ck ?em?? part. High school football coaches or coaches in general, are not perfect people. They come with flaws and many times, unpopular philosophies. Luke Campbell and my high school football coach were one in the same; so what?s the big deal about Uncle Luke coaching high school football?
In recent news, Luther Campbell, the man that taught Hip-Hop how to fuck, has turned in his microphone for a headset and clipboard. Gone are the crass raps and porn DVD?s,, coach Luke will be entering his fourth season as a high school assistant coach, only if Florida?s Education Practices Commission will let him. For the past three seasons (two at Miami Central and one at Northwestern), Campbell has coached using a short term certification that expires at the end of the 2012-13 school years. To continue coaching in Miami-Dade County after that, Campbell will need a permanent certificate.
Examples of ??good moral character?? didn?t stop former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino from lying to his wife, community, and employer when he lied about the fine details of his April 2012 motorcycle accident. Oh, and that?s not Petrino?s first example of using poor judgment and poor moral character. During Petrino?s tenure as head coach at Louisville, Petrino, secretly applied for the Auburn position. He also left the Cardinals to coach the Atlanta Falcons, a job that he left in the middle of the night after he heard the news of Michael Vick?s departure from the team for dog fighting. Rick Pitino, one of the shining examples of coaching excellence in NCAA basketball, fucked his co-workers wife in a restaurant; an act that clearly violated the acts of moral depravity or misconduct that damages the university?s reputation clause that should?ve led to his firing. Clearly, you say Rick Pitino coach his Louisville Cardinals to the Final Four last year. Yea, ??good moral character?? is what coaching is made of.
We?re all aware of Luke?s past. He?s done music and videos that would make most of his fans cringe now that some of them probably have children now. But, should that hang over his head forever when the man is clearly doing something good for not only himself, but his community as well? We all know that Nino Brown sold drugs and gave out turkeys on Thanksgiving, but Luke ain?t doing this to get brownie points from the ?hood. He?s doing this because this is his idea of giving back to his community and using the fame he got for doing something ??negative?? into something positive for his people. Miami Northwestern is a school that isn?t receiving the help that it needs; why should a man that wants to help by donating his money and time not be allowed to? Coach Luke deserves to be certified. Not because of the money he donates, but because the man cares about these kids. Bobby Petrino didn?t care about his group of kids enough to jeopardize his career and their upcoming season by getting fired. The sad part is, Petrino is probably going to be a coach again before Luke. Now, where?s the moral good in that?

Seafood Plant Evacuated After Military Shell Found
MILFORD, Del. (AP) ? Authorities are investigating the discovery of a military explosive that prompted the evacuation of a Delaware seafood plant.
The device was discovered Friday morning at the Sea Watch International plant. Some employees were evaluated at a hospital as a precaution, but a Seawatch official said none was sickened
Seawatch chief financial officer Jerry Gordon also said it did not appear that the device contained mustard gas.
But an explosive ordnance disposal unit from Dover Air Force Base responded to the scene, and military officials said the round tested positive for a chemical agent, which Army technical experts will work to identify.
Several years ago, scores of unexploded shells found mixed in with crushed clamshells used to pave driveways and parking lots in
Delaware and Maryland?s Eastern Shore were traced to loads of clams dredged from the ocean floor and delivered to the Milford plant.
