When gamma rays pass through water, they hit electrons, and the impact bumps the electrons up to high velocities. The electrons do not move faster than light in a vacuum (186,000 m.p.sec., the Einsteinian speed limit of the universe), but they do move faster than light in water, 140,000 m.p.sec. For exceeding the local speed limit, the electrons are "fined" a part of their energy, which shows up as Cherenkov radiation. Something...

First National (total deposits: $724.8 million) made the first move, upped its capital and surplus from $51.1 million to $60 million, allowing it to lend $6,000,000 at a crack.
