James Madison University Thursday, September 6,1864 Vol.62 No. 3 Police praise policefile By Sandy Stone staff writer Campus ' drunken driving arrests at JMU decreased 24 percent from 1982 to 1983 — and campus police attribute the drop in part to policefile. Policefile, which publishes the names of students charged with offenses such as drunken driving and public drunkenness in a weekly column in The Breeze, was first published in October 1982. Although it first sparked criticism from campus administrators, police now support policefile because they think it acts as a deterrent. "The first real measureable decrease in drunken driving ar- rests occurred after policefile started being published," said Alan MacNutt, director of cam- pus police. "The fact that names were published, plus in- creased attention paid to speakers and programs on campus that focused on drunken driving, had a significant impact on the decrease," MacNutt said. From 1982 to 1983, the number of drunken driv- ing arrests on campus went from 74 to 56, Mac- Nutt said. Conversely, the number of people charged with drunken driving by city police in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County during the same two years in- creased by 14 percent, according to Capt. M.L. Stroble of the Harrisonburg police department. The number of arrests made in 1982 was 390, compared with 445 in 1983. The Daily News- Record, Harrisonburg's local newspaper, does not publish drunken driving arrests or convictions. During/the summer, MacNutt recommended to the Hamsonburg-Rockingham Task Force on Drunk Driving that names of those charged with drunken driving be published by local media. The task force, composed of four committees, was formed to help combat drunken driving in the area. It followed the goals of the Governor's Task Force to Combat Drunk Driving, created by Gov. Charles Robb in June 1982, to address the problem of drunken driving and make appropriate recom- mendations. MacNutt's recommendation to the local task force was approved Aug. 16 with 25 other recom- mendations. The task force will meet later to decide which recommendations should be included in its report to the city council and county supervisors in mid- October. In an Aug. 5 memo to Karen Cline, chairman of the task force, MacNutt stated that media publicity of arrest data and drunken driving convictions may act as a significant deterrent to drunken driv- Staff photo by OREO FLETCHER ing.

Received: 20 January 2020; Accepted: 23 February 2020; Published: 6 March 2020 Abstract: A combination of the WAVEWATCH III (WW3) model and a modified Holland vortex model is developed and studied in the present work. The Holland 2010 model is modified with two improvements: the first is a new scaling parameter, bs, that is formulated with information about the maximum wind speed (vms) and the typhoon’s forward movement velocity (vt); the second is the introduction of an asymmetric typhoon structure. In order to convert the wind speed, as reconstructed by the modified Holland model, from 1-min averaged wind inputs into 10-min averaged wind inputs to force the WW3 model, a gust factor (gf) is fitted in accordance with practical test cases. Validation against wave buoy data proves that the combination of the two models through the gust factor is robust for the estimation of typhoon waves.

    The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces

    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

Gray THE STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF TYPHOONS By Candis L. Weatherford Department of Atmospheric Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 September, 1989 Atmospheric Science Paper No. 446 ABSTRACT A three phase life cycle characterizing the structural evolution of typhoons has been derived from aircraft reconnaissance data for tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific. More than 750 aircraft reconnaissance missions at 700 mb into 101 northwest Pacific typhoons are examined. The typical life cycle consists of the fol­ lowing: phase 1) the entire vortex wind field builds as the cyclone attains maximum intensity; phase 2) central pressure fills and maximum winds decrease in association with expanding cyclone size and strengthening of outer core winds; and phase 3) the wind field of the entire vortex decays. Nearly 700 aircraft radar reports of eyewall diameter are used to augment anal­ yses of the typhoon's life cycle. Eye characteristics and diameter appear to reflect the ease with which the maximum wind field intensifies. On average, an eye first appears with intensifying cyclones at 980 mb central pressure. Cyclones obtaining an eye at pressures higher than 980 mb are observed to intensify more rapidly while those whose eye initially appears at lower pressures deepen at slower rates and typ­ ically do not achieve as deep a central pressure. The eye generally contracts with intensification and expands as the cyclone fills, although there are frequent excep­ tions to this rule due to the variable nature of the eyewall size.

    Development of Inundation Map for Bantayan Island, Cebu Using Delft3d- Flow Storm Surge Simulations of Typhoon Haiyan

    Project NOAH Open-File Reports Vol. 3 (2014), pp. 37-44, ISSN 2362 7409 Development of Inundation Map for Bantayan Island, Cebu Using Delft3D- Flow Storm Surge Simulations of Typhoon Haiyan Camille Cuadra, Nophi Ian Biton, Krichi May Cabacaba, Joy Santiago, John Kenneth Suarez, John Phillip Lapidez, Alfredo Mahar Francisco Lagmay, Vicente Malano Abstract: On average, 20 typhoons enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility annually, making it vulnerable to different storm hazards. Apart from the frequency of tropical cyclones, the archipelagic nature of the country makes it particularly prone to storm surges. On 08 November 2013, Haiyan, a Category 5 Typhoon with maximum one- minute sustained wind speed of 315 kph, hit the central region of the Philippines. In its path, the howler devastated Bantayan Island, a popular tourist destination. The island is located north of Cebu City, the second largest metropolis of the Philippines in terms of populace. Having been directly hit by Typhoon Haiyan, Bantayan Island was severely damaged by strong winds and storm surges, with more than 11,000 houses totally destroyed while 5,000 more suffered minor damage. The adverse impacts of possible future storm surge events in the island can only be mitigated if hazard maps that depict inundation of the coastal areas of Bantayan are generated. To create such maps, Delft3D-Flow, a hydrodynamic modelling software was used to simulate storm surges. These simulations were made over a 10-m per pixel resolution IfSAR Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) bathymetry. The results of the coastal inundation model for Typhoon Haiyan’s storm surges were validated using data collected from field work and local government reports.
