Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Kindergarten benefits real, but modest
A Winnipeg School Division trustee is pressing for full-day nursery and kindergarten, pointing to Ontario, which began rolling it out in 2010. But trustees and taxpayers in Manitoba should look critically at the results, recently found by an evaluation of 693 pupils that compared those in half-day programs with full-day counterparts.
The data show real gains, generally, across almost all indicators of a child's chance at success in school -- things such as language and cognition, emotional maturity, and communication and general knowledge. But for the cost, trustees should ask if there is a better way to spend money.
The analysis found Ontario's nascent experience with full-day kindergarten had reduced the proportion of children at risk in the various areas by as much as five percentage points, compared with those in half-day programs. For example, among those who already had a year of half-day junior kindergarten, 10.5 per cent were deemed vulnerable to falling behind in school due to their communication skills and general knowledge. That number was 5.6 per cent for the children who had a year of full-day junior kindergarten. In language and cognitive development, after a year of half-day JK, about seven per cent of the children were at risk, while after a year of full-day JK about 4.9 per cent were at risk. Meanwhile, those considered most vulnerable -- scoring poorly on two of the areas measured -- stood at more than 13 per cent for the half-day JK group and nine per cent for those who had a year of full-day JK.
The obvious indication of the data is exposure to early childhood education dramatically reduces the number of children unready for Grade 1 -- no surprise there. That is why the Winnipeg board has a division-wide nursery (junior kindergarten) program, something almost all other public schools are missing. But does the gap between the groups -- those with and those without early education -- hold out through the school years?
Neither Ontario nor Manitoba has studied whether the benefits gained early by children carry through the grades and improve graduation rates, generally. That's a glaring hole. Perhaps the greatest benefit of early exposure to high-quality programs is to Manitoba's children born in poverty -- those most likely to fail at school, become unemployed and involved in crime, as seen in the HighScope Perry pre-school program in the U.S.
School boards, parents and taxpayers have to decide if the considerable expense of full-day kindergarten is worth more than another approach -- implementing half-day nursery programs throughout the province, for example. Ontario is spending $1.45 billion in capital costs alone to roll out its expansion and millions annually in operating costs. In Manitoba, Education Minister Nancy Allan estimated full-day kindergarten would cost $80 million per year.
Some school boards here have implemented full-day kindergarten in schools in low-income neighbourhoods where children have been shown to fall behind at much higher rates very early.
The Ontario government is using the recent evaluation to support its decision to have all schools offer full-day junior and senior kindergarten a year from now. But the more useful analysis in Manitoba might look at the benefit of province-wide nursery programs and compare it to the benefits of full-day models.
No doubt many parents would welcome full-day nursery or kindergarten, to cut their daycare bills. But early childhood education is expensive -- the Winnipeg school board's half-day nursery program costs $5.3 million this year, an expense borne entirely by property owners within the division. It is little wonder why other boards have not moved to adopt the program. A patchwork approach to early education, where benefits are shown to justify the expense, is a lousy way to invest in children, and the future of the province. Expansion of nursery or kindergarten programs in Manitoba ought to be financed from provincial revenues, not on the backs of property owners.

Thick oil soils Mississippi shore, storm looms
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss./CAMPECHE, Mexico
- Tweet
- Share this
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss./CAMPECHE, Mexico (Reuters) - Large patches of thick oil from BP Plc's Gulf of Mexico oil spill washed ashore in Mississippi for the first time on Sunday while the Atlantic hurricane season's first named storm posed an uncertain threat to the gulf.
The oil spill, which began on April 20, has caused an economic and environmental disaster along the U.S. Gulf Coast, threatening fisheries, tourism and wildlife.
Tropical depression Alex moved into the southwestern gulf, prompting the closure of two key Mexican oil ports, and was likely on Monday to regain tropical storm status, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Forecasters expect Alex to make landfall again as a hurricane early on Thursday between Brownsville, Texas, and Tuxpan de Rodriguez Cano in Mexico, sparing BP's oil collection efforts in the Gulf.
The British newspaper the Sunday Times reported that BP's drilling of relief wells, intended to plug its leaking deep-sea well, is going more quickly than expected and the company could stop the flow of oil in mid-July. That would be about two weeks earlier than BP's current public projection of early August.
The newspaper cited sources with knowledge of the operation. A BP spokesperson declined to comment on the report and referred to a company statement on Friday that the two relief wells -- begun on May 2 and May 16 -- were estimated to take approximately three months to finish.
Louisiana's fragile wetlands have been hardest hit by the oil but Mississippi had escaped damage until Sunday, although some oil had tainted its barrier islands. Oil has also come ashore in Alabama and Florida's Gulf coast.
Oil from the spill hit two tourist beaches at Ocean Springs, about 10 miles east of Biloxi, Mississippi, and a beach used by fishermen close to an inland marsh.
Mississippi state officials and the U.S. Coast Guard, who said they expect more oil to arrive, were waiting on BP contractors to start cleaning up.
"We cannot clean up or catch the oil until BP gets here. They have all of our people," said Earl Etheridge, a spokesman for Mississippi's Department of Environmental Quality.
Alex, the first named storm of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, had sustained winds of 35 mph and was about 55 miles south-southwest of Campeche. The system was moving west-northwest at 9 mph.
Even if it misses the spill area, large waves could hamper clean-up efforts from Louisiana to Florida from the spill.
Shell Oil Co evacuated nonessential workers from production platforms and drilling rigs in U.S.-regulated areas of the Gulf oil fields on Saturday, anticipating Alex's impact, and on Sunday shut subsea production at two platforms.
Meteorologists predict a very active Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30.
The U.S. government estimates that up to 60,000 barrels of oil (2.5 million gallons/9.5 million liters) per day are spewing from BP's damaged well on the seabed about a mile below the surface.
While awaiting the completion of the relief wells to finally plug the leak, BP has been using two oil collection systems to prevent some of the oil from its ruptured well from spewing into the sea. BP said on Sunday its crews had collected or burned off 22,750 barrels of oil on Saturday.
Equipment going to the leak site this week could raise daily collection to 53,000 barrels, officials say, and a review is scheduled of a system that may boost it to 80,000 barrels.
The oil spill was a topic at a weekend meeting in Canada of leaders of the Group of 20 world's biggest economies.
G20 sources said the summit communique included a reference to the spill and urged the sharing of best practices to protect marine life, prevent accidents and deal with the consequences when accidents occur.
Shares of BP have been savaged since the crisis started and fell another 6 percent to a 14-year low on Friday.
The costs to BP include but are not limited to a $20 billion compensation fund it set up under U.S. pressure. BP said it has paid out $2.35 billion so far in clean-up and compensation costs.

Going to any beach with oil on it is like chewing razor blades! The oil is loaded with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) . The introduction of chemical dispersants increases the amount of carcinogens in the oil. The federal government should be passing out Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) . They are designed to provide both workers and emergency personnel or people on the beach picking up or walking on tar balls with the proper procedures for handling hazardous material. The oil is a toxic material.
Some people who have breathed or touched mixtures of PAHs and other chemicals for long periods of time have developed cancer. Some PAHs have caused cancer in laboratory animals when they breathed air containing them (lung cancer), ingested them in food (stomach cancer), or had them applied to their skin (skin cancer).
We know this from an oil spill eight years ago in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. On April 27, 2003, eight years ago the Bouchard Barge B-120 hit an obstacle in Buzzards Bay, creating a 12-foot rupture in its hull and discharging an estimated 100,000 gallons of No. 6 oil. The oil is known to have affected an estimated 90 miles of shoreline, numerous bird species, and recreational use of the bay, such as shell fishing and boating.

Inside: America's most luxurious reservation: Huge homes of country's richest Native American tribe where members make $1m EACH
Sprawling mansions, exotic cars, yachts and round-the-world trips all without the need to lift a finger - sound too good to be true? Not for the Shakopee Mdewakanton, America's richest Native American tribe.
Latest estimates say the small tribe of just 480 members earns $1billion a year from their two casinos built just outside Minneapolis - Mystic Lake and Little Six .
With their sovereign right to build the gambling houses, the enterprising tribe developed the two money-spinning ventures which now come complete with a championship golf course, 600 room hotel and concert venue.
Mansions: The income minus charitable giving and other expenditure works out as $1million a year per tribe member meaning many in the Shakopee Mdewakanton tribe don't need to work
Wealthy hobbies: Residents of reservation land belonging to the Shakopee Mdewakanton can afford wealthy hobbits with their $84,000 a month revenue checks
Maintaining tradition: Despite their new assets tradition is important to the Minnesota tribe. Here a Shakopee Mdewakanton dancer takes part in a competition
When the revenue is divided between members it pays a check of $84,000 a month or $1.08m a year - which comes tax free if you live on reservation land, meaning members can forget the day job.
'We have 99.2 percent unemployment,' Stanley Crooks, the tribe's president, told the New York Times last year. 'It's entirely voluntary.'
There are several mansions now on the tribal land and large warehouses have had to be built to house cars, boats and other belongings of the wealthiest members.
But even though the benefits are endless - many members build second homes off the reservation, send their children to private schools, take up thoroughbred breeding or go on lengthy global trips - there are concerns within the tribe that the wealth comes at a cost.
Curbed.com writes many are concerned it is difficult to teach children the value of money.
The traditional way of life is also still promoted with many tepees visible on reservation land. The tribe was annihilated in the US-Dakota War 150 years ago with the group's ancestors brutally slaughtered or exiled - something they can never forget.
'For us, we look at our ancestors as perseverance,' Crooks told Minnesota Public Radio last year.
'They held onto the language and they passed it on. They said, 'This is your land, you need to do what you can to maintain a piece of it and pass it on to your children, that they will continue to be part of our land.' That's the way I look at it.'
Property boom: Many large houses can be seen on the reservation land in Minnesota. The tribe also gives substantial sums to charity
Developing neighborhood: Many residents have taken up extravagant hobbies such as thoroughbred breeding to spend their cash
Booming business: Estimates say the Shakopee Mdewakanton tribe make around $1billion a year from their two casinos based outside Minneapolis
The tribe is also well-known for their charitable giving.
It often donates cash to poorer tribes and charities across the country. Since 1996 they have given away $243.5 million, $28.5million in 2010 alone, including a $12.5million donation to the University of Minnesota.
'If it wasn't for Shakopee, especially during this time when things are tough for loans, tough in this economy — there's tribes who would be in a very tough situation,' Ernest Stevens, chair of the National Indian Gaming Association explains.
'There's nobody in the gaming industry that I know of that can compare to what Shakopee does."
In 2010 they were given a Jefferson Award for Public Service.
A generation ago the tribe was living in trailers with no indoor plumbing according to the Times, remarkably now members admit they simply have too much money to know what to do with.
'Why dig a hole when you don't need to dig it — when you can pay someone to dig a hole?' Keith B. Anderson, the tribe's secretary and treasurer told the newspaper. 'Instead of budgeting a dinner and movie, you can go to dinner and a movie and have dinner again and see another movie, but you can't see enough movies and dinners to spend all your money.'

NFL Week 11 Predictions: Latest Odds and Picks Against the Spread
By Zach Kruse ,
The betting lines for Week 11 of the NFL season offer up a number of tasty opportunities to predict upset picks against the spread.
Odds in Dallas, Houston and New England might just be high enough for bettors to pick the underdog to cover the spread, especially considering some of the trend information we'll provide you.
As is the case every week, we use a combination of betting trends, series histories and recent performances to help handicap each matchup in Week 11 of the NFL season. Betting on NFL games is far from a science, but using numbers and history, we can paint a more clear picture for you.
In the following slides, we present what we've found and give you a pick against the spread for each Week 11 game.
Note: Each line is taken from ESPN.com's aggregation of sites, current through Wednesday.
After getting walloped as a big favorite against the Tennessee Titans Sunday, the Dolphins return to a more familiar and better suited role in Buffalo as the underdog.
Miami is 4-4 against the spread this season, and all four "wins" have come as the underdog. The Dolphins, who swept Buffalo last season, are also 3-1 against the spread as a road underdog.
The Thursday night road factor does come into play, and Ryan Tannehill has a big rebound to make, but the betting trends say Miami here.
Pick ATS: Miami
The betting trends here are spotty at best, even if the Falcons are 6-3 against the spread overall. Atlanta is just 2-2 at home and 4-3 as the favorite, while the Cardinals are 3-5 against the spread overall and just 1-2 away.
Without much help from the trends, go with recent performances. Arizona has lost three of its last five games by more than 10 points, including two of three away from home.
Pick ATS: Atlanta
This is a scary line for the Cowboys, who are 0-3 against the spread at home and 0-2 as the home favorite.
The Browns (4-4 against the spread) may not win this game—Dallas can't afford to lose it at home—but covering a 7.5-point line isn't crazy.
A struggling Buccaneers team held serve in Dallas earlier this season. Cleveland can do the same.
Pick ATS: Cleveland
Green Bay has been a dangerous betting team this season, especially as the favorite (3-5 against the spread) or on the road (2-2). The two combine in Detroit to create another sticky situation for the Packers betting-wise (1-2 as the road favorite).
That said, a 3.5-point line doesn't give the Lions (1-2 against the spread at home) much wiggle room. And remember, the Packers have won 19 of 22 games in this series since 2001.
Pick ATS: Green Bay
Both these teams offer little confidence in betting trends this season, with Cincinnati 3-5 against the spread and Kansas City 3-6. Both struggle in the role they've been handed this week, too.
The Bengals are 0-2 as the favorite and the Chiefs are 1-2 as the road underdog. Given it's such a weak line, however, take the better team—especially when that team is coming off its best win of the season.
Pick ATS: Cincinnati
These two teams have been betting black holes in 2012.
The Eagles are just 2-7 against the spread overall, while the Redskins are 0-3 as the home favorite. The dynamic of a rookie quarterback in Philadelphia really eliminates any look at recent performances, especially between these two teams.
With little to go on numbers-wise, take your gut call. Personally, I think the Eagles play it safe with Nick Foles and grind out a win on the road.
Pick ATS: Philadelphia
The Buccaneers must get a kick out of this line. Tampa Bay, winner of four of its last five games, is 7-2 against the spread this season and 4-0 away from home. Carolina is just 1-4 at home.
Unless both the betting trends and recent performances (Panthers are 1-7 over their last eight) reverse, the Buccaneers should be a safe pick.
Pick ATS: Tampa Bay
A 15.5-point line is scary no matter which NFL teams are playing. The straight-up records (Houston 8-1, Jacksonville 1-8) say it's more than possible, but let's do a little trend digging first.
The Jaguars are actually 4-0 against the spread as the road underdog, and only three times in the history of the series have the Texans actually beaten Jacksonville by more than 15.5 points. Big lines have been busted at a high rate in 2012, especially in division games (see: St. Louis at San Francisco in Week 10).
Pick ATS: Jacksonville
Sunday marks the first time St. Louis has been the favorite this season, so there's obviously no data on how they've performed in this betting situation.
The Jets are 1-2 as the road underdog, which might push this the Rams' way. However, keeping this a field-goal game or winning outright doesn't seem too far-fetched, even for the much-maligned Jets.
Pick ATS: New York
After starting this season 1-3 against the spread, New Orleans has rattled off betting covers in four of the last five games. The only stumble came on the road in Denver, but the Broncos are head-and-shoulders better than the Raiders.
Oakland is just 1-3 against the spread at home and 3-6 overall. The Saints should be at least a touchdown better, even in the Black Hole. Remember, the Raiders just allowed 55 points to an offense that isn't as good as the one in New Orleans.
Pick ATS: New Orleans
Three things in this life are certain: Death, taxes and the Broncos covering as the favorite under Peyton Manning's control.
So far in 2012, Denver is a perfect 5-0 in that situation, including 3-0 as a home favorite. The Chargers need a win to keep their head above water, but I'm not betting against Manning at home.
Pick ATS: Denver
The Colts are a surprising 6-3, and a rookie quarterback vs. Tom Brady on the road does favor New England. But a 9.5-point line seems tall, and it certainly seems extreme when you consider the Patriots are 1-3 against the spread as the home favorite.
And here's another little fact for you: The Patriots are 0-3 covering spreads of more than a touchdown this season (Buffalo, New York, Arizona).
Pick ATS: Indianapolis
Both the Ravens and Steelers are 4-5 against the spread this season, with Baltimore 2-2 away and Pittsburgh 2-2 at home. Long story short, you can essentially throw the betting trends out.
Five of the last seven games in this series has been decided by a field goal, so the possibility for a push is very real. If you really want to pick one way or another, go Baltimore, who is facing a backup quarterback.
Pick ATS: Baltimore
Both teams are 5-4 against the spread this season and both may be without their starting quarterbacks because of concussions. Recent performances (both are 1-2 against the spread in their last three) don't offer much reprieve either.
It's a take-your-pick kind of game given the line, but it's easy to think the 49ers could make life much more difficult for Jason Campbell than the Bears could for Colin Kaepernick, especially in San Francisco.
Pick ATS: San Francisco

It is known from Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie", volume V/3, pages 12 et seq. and SI] et seq., and volume V/4, pages 13 et seq. and 517 et seq., that there are many methods of halogenating benzene derivatives in the nucleus. In the case of systems having two phenyl nuclei which are connected together direct or by way of alkyl radicals, halogenation has not been described or it gives inconsistent results, for example halogenation of the alkyl radical, mixtures of differently halogenated components or changes in the basic substance. Thus in Rodd, Chemistry of Carbon Compounds" (Elsevier, N.Y. 1956), volume 111B, pages 1055 to 1065 it is recommended that diphenylmethanes and benzophenones halogenated in the nucleus should not be prepared by direct halogenation but by other methods. When diphenylmethane is heated with phosphorus pentachloride it gives benzyl trichloride and benzophenonc dichloride (Rodd, c.- cit., page 1058); the combination of the halogen is described as labile. Direct chlorination or bromination of diphenyl gives 4-, 4,4'-, 2-, and 2,4 -halogen derivatives. Chlorination of 1,1,1,-trichloro-2,2-bis-pchlorophenylethane in carbon tetrachloride in the presence of phosphorus trichloride in sunlight (Rodd, 10c.- cit, page 1119 gives the 1,1,],2-tetrachloro compound. The solvent may also play an important part; thus bromination of 1,2-diphenylethane in a solvent which does not contain any hydroxyl groups, for exam ple carbon tetrachloride, gives the 1,2-dibromo compound; reaction in glacial acetic acid gives a mixture of l,2,p,p'-and l,2,o,p'- tetrabromol ,Z-diphenylethane (Rodd, loc.cit., page 1 136 Chloroalkyl groups may be eliminated in the nuclear chlorination, thus for example 3,4-dichlorobenzotrichloride is formed from 2- chlorol ,4-bis-trichloromethylbenzene (Houben-Weyl, 1oc.cit., volume V/3, page 666 In the chlorination of o-methylbiphenyl and o-methylbenzophenone systems cyclization may occur, for example to form tetrachlorofluorenacene compounds or dichloroanthrone compounds. Halogenation of diphenylalkanes bearing three alkyl groups as substituents in the phenyl nucleus has not hitherto been described This invention has for its object a new process for the production of 3,o dihalodiphenylalkanes selectively in good yields and high purity. Another object of this invention are the new 3,6- dihalodiphenylalkanes. We have now found that a 3,o-dihalodiphenylalkane of the formula: in which the individual radicals R and R may be iden tial or different and each is an aliphatic radical; R and the individual radicals X may be identical or different and each is a halogen atom; R and/or R may also be a hydrogen atom, is advantageously obtained by reacting a diphenylalkane of the formula in which R', R and R have the above meaning with a halogen or the formula: in which X has the above meaning, 1f the starting materials are l,l(2,4,5-trimethyl)- diphenylethane and chlorine the reaction may be rep resented by the following equation: Cl CH, Having regard to the prior art the process according to the invention surprisingly gives 3,6- dihalodiphenylalkanes selectively in a good yield and purity in a simple way. Formation of numerous isomeric monohalo, dihalo, trihalo and higher polyhalo compounds bearing halogen substituents on both nu clei, or halogenation of the alkyl or alkylene groups present as substituents on the nuclei is not observed to any significant extent. Similarly secondary reactions such as the elimination of alkyl groups, cyclization, fission of the starting material for example into benzene and styrene compounds do not play any significant part. A large number of both polar and nonpolar solvents may be used. None of these advantageous results could have been expected with a knowledge of the prior art. Preferred starting materials (11) and (Ill) and consequently preferred end products (I) are those in whose formulae the individual radicals R and R may be identical or different and each is an alkyl of one to seven and preferably of one to four carbon atoms, particularly methyl, ethyl or isopropyl, R and the individual radicals X may be identical or different and each is iodine, bromine or particularly chlorine, and R and/or R moreover may be hydrogen. The alkyl radicals may be linear or branched and may bear groups and/or atoms which are inert under the reaction conditions, for example alkoxy of one to three carbon atoms, carbalkoxy of two to four carbon atoms, chloro, bromo, hydroxy, cyano or nitro as substituents. Examples of starting materials (ll) are as follows: 2,4',5'trimethyl1.l-diphenylethane, 2',4',5'-triethyl 1,1-diphenylethane, 2',4',5-triisopropyl-1,l-diphenylethane, 2',4',5'-tri-n-propyll 1 -diphenylethane, I ',4',5 'trichlorometh I l I -diphenylethane, -methyI--l'.5 '-dicthyl- I l -diphcnylethane, ',4'-dimethy 1-5 'cth ll l tliphenylethane, ',4',5"-tri-( dichloro J-mcthyll I -diphenylethane, ',4,5'trihydroxymethyl l l *diphenylethanc, ',4,5 -tribromomethyl- I l -diphenylethane.

The reaction is generally carried out at a temperature of from 2() to +2UOC, conveniently from lO to +IOOC and preferably from (P In Rllt', at atmospheric or supcratmospheric pressure. continuously or batchwise. As a rule. olwnt inch an inert under the reaction conditions are used to tlissohc or suspend the starting materials and reaction mixture. Particularly suitable solvents include water and organic solvents having a boiling point at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure of up to 10 atmospheres at a temperature of more than 100C, preferably at atmospheric pressure at from 60 to I90C Examples of suitable solvents are as follows: water; aromatic hydrocarbons, for example benzene, toluene, cthylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, p- dichlorobenzenc', halohydrocarbons, particularly chlorohydrocarbons, for example tetrachloroethylene, tetrachloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform. trichloroethane, trichlorocthylene, pentachloroethane, cis-dichloroethylene, bromobenzene, l dichloroethane, methylene chloride, l,l-- diehloroethane, l,2cis-dichloroethylene, n-butyl chloride, l-butyl chloride, 3-butyl chloride, isobutyl chlo' ride, chlorobenzene, bromobenzcne, iodobenzene, o-- dichlorobenzene, rn-dichlorobenzene, odibromobenzene, m-dibromobenzene, o-- chlorotoluenc, Ill'Cl'llOTOtOlUCl'lC, p-chlorotoluene, 1,2 ,4-trichloroben2ene, l, l U-dibromodecane, l,4- dibroniobutane', alcohols such as ethanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, tert.-butanol, cyclohcxanol, propanol and particularly methanol; sulfoxides such as dimethylsulfoxide; ether, diisoamyl ether, diisopropyl ether, anisol, phenetol, cyclohexylmcthyl ether, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofurane, thioanisol, B,B'-dichlorodiethyl ether; esters such as methyl acetate, methyl benzoate, phenyl acetate; nitrohydrocarbons such as nitromethane, nitroethane, nitrobenzene, o-chloronitrobenzene, mchloronitrobenzene, p-chloronitrobenzene, onitrotoluene; nitriles such acetonitrile, benzonitrile, mchlorobenzonitrile; aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, for example hexane, heptane, nonane, ocymcne, rn-cymene, p-cymenc, gasoline fractions within the said boiling point range, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, petroleum ether, dccahydronaphthalene, ligroin, 2,2,4-trimethylpcntane, 2,2,3- trimethylpentane, 2,3,3-trimethylpentane, octane; inorganic or organic acids, for example acetic acid, sulfu ric acid, phosphoric acid, boric acid, chloroacetic acid, oxalic acid, formic acid, adipic acid, chlorosulfonic acid, mcthylsulfonic acid, bromoacetic acid, iodoacetic acid; and mixtures of these. It is convenient to use the solvent in an amount of from 5 to 1000% and prefera bly from 5 to 50% by weight based on starting material- The halogen, preferably bromine, iodine and particularly chlorine, may be used in the elementary form or in the form of an agent which yields halogen under the reaction conditions (halogenating agent). The reaction may be carried out with elementary halogen in the absence or presence of a halogenation catalyst (halogen transferrer). The following halogcnation catalysts are suitable: chlorides or other halides of the platinum met als, for example rhodium(Ill) chloride or iridium(lll) chloride: metals such as iron aluminum, antimony or molybdenum and the corresponding chlorides or other halides such as iron(IIl) chloride, aluminum chloride, aluminum bromide, antimony(lll) chloride, antimony(\/) chloride, antimony( sulfide, molybdenum(V) chloride, tin(lV) chloride, nickel(ll) chloride, mercury(ll) chloride, thorium chloride, manganese( ll) chloride, zinc chloride; a second halogen in the case of chlorinations, for example iodine or iodinefi) chloride or iodine(l) bromide; sulfur and sul fur-halogen compounds, for example sulfuryl chloride; phosphorus and phosphorus-halogen compounds, for example phosphorus trichloride; hydrogen bromide or iodine bromide in the case of brominations; activated carbon; or appropriate mixtures of catalysts such as sulfur and antimonyflll) chloride, antimony(\ chloride and iodine in the case of chlorinations. The halogenation catalysts may if desired be used with a carrier, for example thorium chloride on pumice, manganesefll) 3s chloride on activated alumina or iron chloride on activated carbon. It is preferred to use elementary halogen in an amount of from 1 to 10 and advantageously from I to 5 moles and the halogenation catalyst in an amount of from 01)] t0 1% and advantageously from 0.1 to 0.571 by weight based on starting material (ll), Sulfur-halogen compounds such as sulfur dichloride or sulfuryl chloride; dichlorine monoxide in the form for example of a mixture of chlorine, silver nitrate and sulfuric acid, are suitable as halogenating agents. Halogenation catalysts may be used with the haloge nating agents, for example sulfuryl chloride with disulfur dichloride and aluminum chloride; iodine chloride and iron(lll) chloride. The halogenating agent is prti erably used in an amount of from I to 20 and advaiifl geously in an amount offrom l to 5 moles and the his genation catalyst in an amount of from UOI to 1 ant. advantageously from 0.1 to 0.5% by weight based on starting material (II). The reaction may be carried out as follows. A mixture of starting materials (II) and (III) with or without solvent and catalyst is kept at the reaction temperature for V; hour to 8 hours. The end product is then separated froin the reaction mixture by a conventional method, for example by distillation. The new compounds which can be prepared according to the process of the invention may be used as dispersing agents in mixtures of dye and styrene and as dyeing auxiliaries and are valuable starting materials for the production of dyes and pesticides. Thus they may be reacted by oxidizing cyclization according to German Pat. No. 2,256,663 to form anthraquinone- 2,3-dicarboxylic acids which are intermediates for wet fast. washfast and lightfast disperse dyes on polyester fibers and also vat dyes.

The mixture is stirred for another 2 hours at 15 to 20C. three hours at 40 to 50C and another 2 hours at 80C, poured onto ice and extracted with carbon tetrachloride. 42 parts (55.0% of theory) of l.1-(2,4,5- trimethyl-3',6'-dibromo)-diphenylethane is isolated by distillation at 180 to 188C at 0.1 mmHg. EXAMPLE 6 32 parts of chlorine is passed over a period of 3 hours at 0 to 5C into a solution of 42 parts of 2,4,5-trimethylcliphenylmethane, 200 parts of trichloroethylene and 0.5 part of iodine. The reaction mixture is stirred for another hour at 0 to 5C and poured onto water and the organic phase is separated. 45 parts (803% of theory) of 2,4,5-trimethyl-3,6- dichlorodiphenylmethane (melting point: to 82C) is isolated by distillation at to C at 0.2 mmHg.

I enjoyed the moneyback services at Super 8
Posted Aug 9, 2013I stayed one night at the Super 8 in Fort St John and had a good impression on their services, room conditions, and amenities. When I arrived, they were hosting a customer appreciation night that offered dinner-size food and drink. There were also complimentary breakfast, coffee, and bottle water. I also enjoyed their fast & free internet services, swimming pool, water slides, and whirlpool. The staff were polite and friendly. They patiently responded to my requests fixing the TV remote controller, two times in a roll. They even flexibly adjusted the checkout time for me to accomondate my meeting appointment. Overall, it is a pleasant expereince staying at Super 8. I would choose the same hotel next time I visit Ft St John.

43 Live Roosters Discovered in Cockfighting Raid
The HSUS puts pressure on Ohio legislators to follow its fellow Great Lakes states in making cockfighting a felony.
Authorities discovered 43 live roosters and eight dead ones in a recent cockfighting raid in Cleveland, OH, which ended in nearly 40 suspects being detained, reports the Humane Society of the United States. While HSUS was quick to applaud the authorities for acting on the criminal activity, they continue to urge state legislators to make cockfighting a felony—Ohio is the only state in the Great Lakes region that does not put a severe penalty on the cruel sport. The source also notes that cockfighting is usually linked to other criminal activities; Mexican cartels were found to be using cockfighting pits to smuggle drugs, and three cockfights last year ended in deadly shootouts.

The ugg boots I bought from rubbersole were not dark brown as stated, but chocolate/natural, which I discovered having looked on other sites. The boots were a mottled brown colour and not grey as the photos suggested, however I was really happy with my purchase. They also came within 3 days with the free delivery service so would definately use rubbersole again.

Linux kernel API
The Linux kernel provides several interfaces to user-space applications that are used for different purposes and that have different properties by design. There are two types of application programming interface (API) in the Linux kernel that are not to be confused: the "kernel–user space" API and the "kernel internal" API.
Kernel–user space API[edit]
The kernel–user space API is the API that allows programs in user space to access system resources and services of the Linux kernel. This API, by choice, never breaks. The POSIX API is only a small part of the Linux kernel API.
Much available free and open-source software is written for the POSIX API. But since the last POSIX version is from 2008, and since so much more development is going on with the Linux kernel as compared to the other POSIX-compatible kernels, various software has been developed that target solely the Linux kernel–user space API. Well-known examples are systemd and Weston.
People such as Lennart Poettering openly advocate writing software solely for the Linux kernel–user space API instead of POSIX, where this offers advantages.
The Linux kernel API versus the POSIX API
Chronological hierarchy of relationships of various UNIX API standards that ultimately gave rise to POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4. Solid lines indicate direct descent, whereas dashed lines indicate a case where either 1) one standard influenced another 2) one standard was incorporated into another, or 3) one standard deferred to another.
In-kernel API[edit]
By choice, the Linux kernel has no stable in-kernel API (a.k.a. Binary Kernel Interface).[1]
See also[edit]
- C standard library – the library for the C programming language made available across implementations
- GNU C Library – the GNU Project's implementation of the C standard library
- system call – is a function to facilitate programs to requests services from the kernel
- netlink – Netlink was added by Alan Cox during Linux kernel 1.3 development as a character driver interface to provide multiple kernel and user-space bidirectional communications links. Then, Alexey Kuznetsov extended it during Linux kernel 2.1 development to provide a flexible and extensible messaging interface to the new advanced routing infrastructure. Since then, Netlink sockets have become one of the main interfaces that kernel subsystems provide to user-space applications in Linux.
- epoll, splice – system calls specific to the Linux kernel
- dnotify, fanotify, inotify, mmap – system calls
- netlink – socket family used for IPC between kernel and user space processes, designed as the successor of ioctl
- Windows API – article on various API available on Microsoft Windows operating systems
- windows.h – header file for the C programming language which contains declarations for all of the functions in the Windows API

State-run retailers to cut petrol prices
REUTERS - State-run fuel retailers will cut petrol prices by about 1.4 percent from Friday as global oil prices are relatively stable, the country's largest fuel retailer, Indian Oil Corp(IOC.NS), said on Thursday.
A litre of petrol will cost 67.24 rupees in New Delhi.
"The trends in the international oil market and rupee-dollar exchange rate are being closely monitored and the same shall be reflected in future price changes," IOC said in the statement.
The partially convertible rupee closed at 54.70 per dollar, while Brent crude oil was trading at $110.10 a barrel at 1139 GMT.
India's three state-run fuel retailers - IOC, Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL.NS) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp (BPCL.NS) - tend to move their prices together.
India liberalised petrol prices in June 2010 but the government continues to unofficially dictate prices to refiners, who suffered revenue losses of 20 billion rupees in April-Sept on gasoline sales.

How I get myself into these messes.... old enough to know better.. dumb enough not to care!!! As I wrote her.. the funny thing is I am making my first NYE prediction.
