Show 0 MDDami Cited Health notes for clock work David W. Allan of Fountain Green-born and raised in Maple-ton-was honored by the Institute of Navigation at a special banquet held in Boston last week. Recipients Recipi-ents were honored for their leadership lead-ership in developing the technological techno-logical tools needed for precision navigation and also for their contribution toward the education of navigation professionals. Allen was cited for fundamental fundamen-tal insight into the characterization characteriza-tion of error sources in highly accurate time references and for the development of readily applicable appli-cable clock performance metrics. Allan is best known for developing devel-oping the "Allan Variance." This work has clarified the characteristics characteris-tics of clocks (and gyros) needed and used in navigation (e.g. GPS), telecommunications and time systems. He developed the algorithms used by NIST to generate standard time in the United States from a clock ensemble. en-semble. This approach is also used to develop the standard International Atomic Time (TAT). He was a principal consultant for GPS during its development phase. He conceived of the GPS common-view technique, which has been (for nearly two decades) the method of combining worldwide world-wide clock readings in the generation gener-ation of TAI. He also conceived of the GPS-SA filter for timing, which is used, extensively for synchronizing telecommunications. telecommunica-tions. Mr. David W. Allan is currently cur-rently President of Allan's Time Interval Metrology Enterprise (TIME), Inc. in Fountain Green, Utah. From there he consults with several companies and agencies. agen-cies. Prior to his retirement from the government in July 1992, he worked at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly NSB) for 30 years. There he had the responsibility to generate atomic time and universal univer-sal time for national and international interna-tional consumption and to coordinate coordi-nate these time scales with time centers around the world. While at NIST he was also a consultant contractor for the GPS JPO for several years-helping them with their atomic clocks. His experience obtaining a bachelors bache-lors degree in Physics at Brigham Young University, is with the statistics of clock deviations, time-scale algorithms, time and frequency measurement systems and dissemination systems and frequency standards. Em Firefighters on the West Mountain II fire continued to work toward containing the fire on the southwest flank of the mountain Tuesday. The use of burn-out operation helps contain the fire and prevent further , spread. Burn out operations are conducted by fighting fire with fire. As a crew constructs a fireline they also burn the vegetation vegeta-tion inside the line to form a blackened strip that prevents the oncoming fire from jumping the fireline. This is a proven tactic that is controlled through the use of experienced firefighters in coordination with fire engines. The West Mountain II fire started on July 2, as hot spots from the recent West Mountain fire were detected. The fire has burned a total of 8,829 acres and 216 firefighters are assigned. Containment of the fire is pre-" dieted for July 7, at 6 p.m., while full control is scheduled for July 8 at 6 p.m. Weather conditions on the fire have not been as conducive as firefighters would like for completion com-pletion of the containment lines, as the temperatures raised 10 to 12 degrees from Monday. "The heat posed a challenge to firefighters firefigh-ters and the continued low moisture mois-ture content of fuels, such as sage brush and grasses, increased fire behavior," said Dale Jablonski, fire behavior analyst. An increase in cloudiness by late afternoon and into the evening is predicted and may produce some thunderstorms. thunder-storms. As people return home from the 4th of July weekend, fire officials would like to remind them that fire danger remains extreme. The use of fireworks on public land is prohibited. In a Tush to get rid of unused fireworks, fire-works, some people tend to ignite them in unpopulated areas. Unfortunately Un-fortunately these unpopulated areas are typically public lands that are at risk to fire starts under these extreme conditions.

Shoes that are worn or that don't fit well may not support your knees properly. Be careful when increasing the length of time or intensity of your exercise routine. Make sure to warm up and stretch you leg muscles. If you have knee problems, avoid hills and stairs as much as possible. Try to avoid sports like football, soccer, tennis and downhill down-hill skiing as much as possible. And don't run on concrete. If your knee becomes stiff or sore from overexertion, rest it and apply ice.
