KUSA's Carrie McClure reports. NBC News Channel MSNBC staff and news service reports PARKER, Colo. - It was supposed to be a celebration at Lutheran High School southeast of Denver, but the homecoming festivities turned into a tragic accident. During a pep rally inside the school's gymnasium Friday afternoon, the senior football players took to the court to play a game of tug-of-war with the junior football players. Witnesses say during the competition, two juniors, who had the rope wrapped around their hands, started to scream. Sophomore Jenni Kjerstad said it was a chaotic scene inside the school. "Hearing it was pretty gross. There was like a lot of people screaming and just all blood flying everywhere and just people running out of the room," she said.

4. Minimalist's Tug-of-War | Physical Review Focus Computer simulations suggest the interlaced structure of a composite material forced to balance competing demands. http://focus.aps.org/story/v10/st26

(issue of 23 December 2002) Title and Authors 11 December 2002 Minimalist's Tug-of-War Phys. Rev. Lett. Swiss cheese conductivity. According to computer simulations, a composite material optimized for two properties (conducting both heat and electricity) has a surprising structure. The boundary between the two phases is called a minimal surface. Spider silk must be light, elastic, and strongall at once. Drawing inspiration from natural materials that must balance such competing demands, researchers have used computer simulations to calculate the microstructure of a material that simultaneously conducts both heat and electricity. The surprising shape that resulted provides the first simple example of the effects of competing demands on mixtures of two materials, and may offer materials engineers a way to solve a range of similar problems. The results appear in the 23 December print issue of PRL Biological materials are often composites of two or more substances that can simultaneously perform several tasks wellsuch as provide mechanical support, conduct electricity, or transport fluids and particles. To Salvatore Torquato of Princeton University, that fact suggests at least a rough sort of optimization at work. A mixture optimized for a single property, such as heat conduction, looks like blobs of one material suspended in another. But no clear, simple examples exist for the structure resulting from a two-property tug-of-war in a mix of two materials.

Tug of war over troops Posted: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 10:28 AM Filed Under: Baghdad, Iraq By Jim Miklaszewski, NBC News' Chief Pentagon Correspondent CAMP VICTORY, Iraq – Long after sundown, Gen. David Petraeus sat down with a handful of us Pentagon reporters in an otherwise empty dining room at Camp Victory in Baghdad to talk about ending the surge operation that began about a year ago and bringing those U.S. surge forces home. Appearing as tired and weary as I've ever seen him, Petraeus appeared to regain some of his trademark energy as he talked about the reduction in overall violence in Iraq to its lowest levels in three years and expressed confidence that all five of the additional combat brigades sent to Iraq for the surge, some 21,000 U.S. forces, would be going home by the end of July. But typically cautious, Petraeues warned, "It will not be easy." The general calls them "storm clouds," major problems that could reverse the security gains made during the surge and says he'll lay out all those potential pitfalls when he briefs Congress on the status of the surge in early April.

Disarmament Claim: Two men each lost an arm in a grisly tug-of-war contest. Status: True. Origins: On 25 October 1997, a mass tug-of-war contest was held at a park along the Keelung River in Taipei in celebration of Retrocession Day (the 52nd anniversary of the end of the Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan). Over 1,600 participants joined in the contest, exerting over 80,000 kg of force on a 5-cm nylon rope that could bear a force of about 26,000 kg at most. document.write('WARNING: The picture below is a gruesome photograph of this incident and will not automatically display. If you want to see the picture, hold the mouse pointer over this text to make it appear.') Within seconds the rope snapped, severing the left arms of two men (Yang Chiung-ming and Chen Ming-kuo) below the shoulder. (The severing of the limbs was believed to have been caused by sheer rebounding force of the broken rope rather than the men's having wrapped the rope around their arms, as was sometimes reported.) The victims were taken to Mackay Memorial Hospital and underwent seven hours of microsurgery to reattach their arms.

Patchwork Nation Search: World Asia Pacific from the March 19, 2004 edition Tug-of-war for Taiwan's identity Taiwan holds its first-ever referendum Saturday in a presidential election that may define Taiwan-China ties. By Robert Marquand TAIPEI, TAIWAN Taiwan's 16.5 million voters go to the polls Saturday in a presidential election that has polarized the island over two very different visions of Taiwan's future. The tight race pits the party of incumbent President Chen Shui-bian, who champions a separate Taiwanese identity and swift democratic reforms, against the Kuomintang (KMT) party of Lien Chan, who will probably move more slowly on reforms and look more kindly on an eventual rapprochement with Beijing.

Heightening the stakes, and greatly angering China, is a controversial two-question referendum put to Taiwan's voters. The questions ask if China should "withdraw the missiles it has targeted at Taiwan," and whether Taiwan should "engage in negotiations with ... China ... for the welfare of the peoples." President Chen engineered the first-ever referendum last year over initial objections from Washington. Beijing views the referendum as an underhanded way of achieving independent status.

Help For Tug-of-War (ToW) Introduction Welcome to the network Tug-of-War (ToW) server. The Rules of Tug-of-War are below. Tug-of-War supports games with more than two players. Up to four players may play together by including all of their userids in the "tow challenge" command. Other commands are the same as all pbmserv games, except that the "preview" and "submit/confirm" commands are not allowed. Rules of Tug-of-War (ToW) Up to four players take turns placing "bids". High bidder gets 1 goal point from each other player. First player to take an average of 5 points from each other player wins. Each player starts with 1000 bid points and goal points. Minimum bid is 1 point. If at the end of a round you have 5*(nplayers-1) or more goal points, you win. If you have no bid points remaining at the end of a round, you are *out*. (You will continue to lose goal points to other players).

Here are ways to create some independence while staying close to the families you love by Ingrid Lawrenz T ake my mother-in-law, please!" The jokes abound, and not only are they unhelpful, they're not even funny. There's little to laugh about when it comes to the push and pull of competing family loyalties. But why is it so difficult to find a comfortable arrangement with parents, in-laws and other members of your extended family? The idea of leaving your childhood family to unite with your spouse sounds perfectly reasonable. And you'd think making a fresh start free from outside interference would be a joyful adventure. In practice, though, this process often seems more like you're forming a new mega-family that includes parents, in-laws and, come to think of it, your spouse, too. Before spouses can form their own independent family, they have to renegotiate relationships with parents and extended family. And since those bonds took years to form, the process of breaking away to create a new family isn't complete after the first year, or the fifth. It's an ongoing task.

Despite the threat posed by a hurricane and a ruptured fuel line, the trials with the sky-scraping booster had gone well and it came time to separate the Saturn into its five stages in the voluminous Vertical Assembly Building that had been erected for that very purpose. But NASA engineers had another idea : though the 363-foot (110-meter) tall rocket had been analytically designed to be structurally stable, they saw the opportunity to gather some real world data about how the booster would react to vibrations imparted by wind and other outside forces.

Watch highlights of John Riek Just before dark on July 15, 17-year-old John Riek was heading back to his host family's home after a workout at Our Savior New American School when he spotted the car he'd been expecting outside the Middle Country Library on Eastwood Blvd in Centereach, L.I. The 7-2 center from southern Sudan hopped in, unfolding his outsized frame in the back seat, smiling as Gary Lorden, a land developer from Townsend, Mass. who runs a summer youth camp near his home, pulled away on a six-hour drive back to Townsend. Riek has been in the United States for just eight months, but college recruiters are already calling him one of the best players in the country, a future lottery pick. But as he drove away with Lorden in mid-July, his future was uncertain. On Lorden's advice, Riek had planned to enroll at the Winchendon School in Massachusetts. Two weeks later, however, after an ugly tug-of-war over Riek's future that included guardianship issues, charges of mistreatment and questions about what is in the best interests of the player, Riek returned to Our Savior, where he says he'll play this season.
