Detailed Description:
Major depression with psychotic features (psychotic depression) is the most debilitating disorder in the depressive disorders spectrum. It is associated with severe symptoms, prolonged course, poorer response rates, more residual symptoms, more frequent relapses and higher mortality, as compared to major depressive disorder.
The markedly abnormal HPA axis functioning in psychotic depression has encouraged research to investigate whether the HPA axis would be a target for pharmacotherapy in depression.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether subjects with psychotic major depression benefit from adjunctive treatment with GR antagonist Org 34517. Two doses of Org 34517 will be compared to placebo in this international multicenter study. The duration of this trial is 6 weeks.

text: › Academics » May Experience » Faculty FAQ Student FAQ Faculty FAQ Study Away MyFurman portal May X Events Plan a Visit › Apply Now › Give to Furman › Main Content Column 1The following are questions and answers that were formulated by the ITF Steering Committee in consultation with the Provost, Associate Academic Dean, Associate Dean for Academic Records and University Registrar, Assistant Academic Dean for Study Away and International Education, and members of the May Experience Subcommittee, Academic Policies Committee, Policies and Procedures Committee, and Curriculum Review Committee. May Experience policies will be periodically reviewed, and modified, if needed. May X and FYS - Faculty Seminar Information and Application 2013 May Experience and FYS Faculty Seminar Information and Application The May Experience and FYS Committees would like you to consider participating in the Spring 2013 May/FYS faculty seminar. Faculty who apply and attend the full series will receive a $300 stipend. You may, however, attend any of the individual sessions as space permits.To apply, complete the attached application form and e-mail to Lloyd Benson (email@example.com) You should consider participating if you have never taught a May/FYS course before or are thinking about creating a new kind of course. We are open to considering applications from previous participants but will give modest priority to first-timers. Forms Needed: Student Consent, General Release and Indemnity Agreement (every student to fill out any time you leave campus) May Experience Initial Survey - Survey Monkey Website May Experience Follow-Up Survey - Survey Monkey Website May Experience Social Events Survey - Survey Monkey Website What is the May Experience? The May Experience is an optional three-week term following spring commencement that encourages innovative and intensive academic experiences. Successful completion of May Experience courses will yield two credits. May Experience courses cannot meet General Education Requirements, be independent studies, be courses offered during the Fall and Spring terms, or be required for the major. They can, however, carry concentration credit or be an elective in a major. Who will oversee the May Experience? Initially, an ad hoc May Experience Committee will have primary oversight responsibility for the program. The responsibilities of this committee, as defined by the May Experience Subcommittee, will be to "(1) hold forums or arrange for information sessions to assist faculty in planning courses, (2) work in the advising system to make the May Experience appealing to students, and (3) generally serve as an advocate for the May Experience." This committee will also review May Experience course proposals. After two May Experiences, the University will consider whether there is a need for a director of the program and/or a May Experience Faculty Standing Committee. Who can propose and teach May Experience courses? Typically May Experience courses will be taught by tenure-track or tenured faculty. Other faculty who wish to offer May Experience courses should discuss the matter with the Dean of the Faculty. How many courses can a faculty member teach during a May Experience? One. How will faculty who teach in the May Experience by compensated? Faculty members will earn two credits for teaching a May Experience course. Accordingly, a faculty member who has taught two May Experience courses, which do not have to be in consecutive years, will earn one four-credit course reduction during the Fall or Spring semester. The faculty member should consult with the department chair to determine when the course reduction will occur and how that reduction will affect the department's course offerings. Under special circumstances, the Dean of Faculty may consider alternate means of compensation. Can a faculty team teach a May Experience course? Yes. Faculty wishing to team teach a May Experience course should discuss this matter with the Dean of Faculty. Typically, compensation for a two-person team-taught course will be one credit per faculty member (May Experience courses taught by a single faculty member receive two credits; i.e., one-half course). Those wishing to team teach a study away May Experience course should also meet with the Assistant Dean for Study Away and International Education to discuss the impact upon student travel fees, since those fees will need to cover the travel expenses of both faculty members. How will the May Experience impact the course load for faculty? Typically, faculty will teach five four-credit courses during the Fall and Spring terms. Teaching in the May Experience is optional. Faculty who accumulate four credits from teaching May Experience courses, after consultation with the department chair, can take a course reduction during a subsequent Fall or Spring term.Can faculty offer May Experience courses that last less than three weeks? No.Can faculty offer May Experience courses that begin before commencement? No. Can May Experience course have pre-requisites? Yes, but most should not in order to encourage a wide variety of students to participate in this innovative program of study.Can faculty limit enrollment in Fall or Spring term courses to those students who will take a May Experience course with that faculty member? With the exception of two-credit courses that students enroll in to prepare for a travel-study May Experience course, professors should not design Fall or Spring courses solely as preparation for a May Experience course or limit enrollment. e a May Experience course with a summer study away program? Yes. Students will earn two credits for the May Experience course, even if they are unable to complete the Summer study away program. How many courses can a student take during a May Experience? One. Can May Experience courses be taken pass/fail? At present, yes. May Experience courses will follow our current academic policies, including pass/fail. The Academic Policies Committee will soon study Furman's pass/fail system and at a later date may recommend some policy changes.Can graduating seniors participate in the May Experience? Yes. Students meeting degree requirements in the Spring may participate in the May Experience with no additional tuition charge. They may be immediately re-admitted as post-baccalaureate students, or they may choose to delay their graduation to include the May Experience in their undergraduate program.Do May Experience courses require any special academic policies? No. These courses will follow existing academic policies. Are there enrollment limits for May Experience courses? The Dean of Faculty and University Registrar will review courses with five or fewer students and consult with the department chair and instructor about the viability of the course. Having five or fewer students does not automatically mean a course cannot be offered.Will students be charges for May Experience courses? No additional tuition charges will apply for full-time students participating in the May Experience. On-campus housing will be available at a discounted rate. Students participating in study away courses will pay a fee to cover costs associate with travel. Is there any financial aid designated for the May Experience? At present there is none. The Dean is well aware of the faculty's desire for financial aid to enable students to participate in these courses, especially those involving study away, and is exploring options. Furman's current fundraising campaign will be seeking gifts for study away scholarships. The exception is that a percentage of these funds will be allocated to the May Experience.What criteria distinguish a study away May Experience program from other May Experience courses? A study away May Experience program is any program receiving Furman credit that requires off-campus housing, whether domestic or international. (Off-campus housing is not meant to include accommodations associated with domestic field trips of short duration).What process does a faculty member follow to propose a May Experience course? For a course not involving study away the following steps should be followed: The faculty member consults with the department chair. The faculty member completes a course proposal using the online Course Proposal System. The system directs the proposal to a department and, if the course involves concentration credit, to a concentration oversight committee for review. Then following the model for First Year Seminars, the proposal will be reviewed by the May Experience Committee, the Curriculum Committee, and – if the course counts towards a concentration – the Academic Policies Committee. If endorsed by the Curriculum Committee and the Academic Policies Committee, if appropriate, the course will be present to the faculty for approval. For a study away course the following steps should be followed: For Study Away Program Approval The faculty member discusses plans with the Assistant Dean for Study Away and International Education. The faculty member submits a study away program proposal to the Assistant Dean for Study Away and International Education and the Study Away Committee. A copy of the proposal guidelines is available from the Assistant Dean. The Study Away Committee reviews the safety and feasibility of the study away program, but does not evaluate the course content, which is the responsibility of the Curriculum committee. The Study Away Committee will present the study away program to the faculty for approval. Please note the following: Once a May Experience study away program has been approved, it does not need to be submitted again, unless the program has significant changes. The Study Away Committee will determine whether changes are significant enough to warrant a new program proposal. In any given year, final approval for a May Experience program will be determined by the Dean, based on resource availability and any other relevant considerations, even if it has received prior approval from the Study Away Committee and the faculty. The Assistant Dean for Study Away and International Education and the Study Away Committee may develop additional policies for May Experience study away programs. For Study Away Course Approval The faculty member submits a proposal through the online Course Proposal System. As with on-campus May Experience courses, the proposal will be reviewed by a department, and if the course counts towards a concentration, by a concentration oversight committee, then by the May Experience Committee, the Curriculum Committee, and the Academic Policies Committee, if involving concentration credit. Then, if endorsed by the Curriculum Committee and the Academic Policies Committee, if appropriate, the course will be present to the faculty for approval.

Nelson's first Folk Festival is designed to celebrate the diversity of cultures found in Nelson, and its organisers are hoping it will grow in years to come.
The all-day festival includes workshops and dances including those from Nelson Morris and the Scottish, Irish, Filipino, and Bhutanese communities. The programme also includes belly dancing, bagpipes, storytime, Celtic harp, and long- sword demonstrations.
Nelson Morris founders Jan King and Steve Rule came up with the idea for the festival after starting up the Nelson Morris Dancing Group three years ago.
Nelson musician Peter Mayes, who plays with Nelson Morris, then approached dancing groups and worked on a programme.
"The take-up hasn't been as big as it could have been but there will be enough to make it a good day," Mr Mayes says. "I don't expect it to be that big the first year; we're testing the waters.
"It's an opportunity for anybody to come along and get hands-on experiences of musical instruments, improve their playing, learn about the various dances from different countries and actually do them rather than just sit and watch.
"So many folk festivals are just one long concert after another and not much to do and not much teaching. This is very much for people to learn and actually do."
Workshops by day and a ceilidh by night will ensure that anyone interested in different dances from Nelson's varied cultures have a chance to join in.
"It's fun because it doesn't matter if you're not doing it correctly. The idea is to join in and have a good laugh," Jan King says.
"We thought it would be a great idea to have a folk festival in Nelson - there's lots of different cultures, it's arty. I think it will be fun.
"It starts off in a small way and grows, and hopefully next year more people will come along and get into the dancing. We're hoping for good weather and that people will support it."
She said it was also good for developing connections between groups who might not otherwise talk to each other.
"It's a bit like Victory's Race Unity Day, bringing all those different cultures together. It's a festival of the folk, of the people - whoever's around, I think you can interpret it widely. It's not just folk music, it can be all kinds of entertainment."
- The Nelson Folk Festival is on this Saturday from 10am to 11pm with workshops and demonstrations at The Granary, The Jaycee Room and the Railway Station at Founders Heritage Park, and in the town centre. A ceilidh from 7.30pm will feature Jiggery Folkery. Tickets: $10 for two workshops; $10 for the ceilidh, and day pass $25; see nelsonfolkfestival.org.nz for more information, venues and timetable.

For those unaccustomed to the nomenclature of higher education, 1010
and 1020 refer to the first and second semester writing courses
required of all NEC students. In the academic world, teaching
introductory writing courses can be challenging for even the most
seasoned faculty members. Students approach first year writing with a
wide range of skills, varying levels of interest in the art form, and
often a fair amount of trepidation about the process. However, the
writing faculty at NEC present a very different picture. Professor
Donovan describes the program by saying, "I really do think we are
unique at NEC in having the two first-year writing courses taught by a
department composed entirely of faculty who are practicing and
publishing writers. What this means is that our students have the
opportunity of working with faculty who approach the teaching of
writing as writers; we are engaged in the very same process we ask our
students to embrace." The result is an intensive and collaborative
experience that inspires both faculty and students.
MacNeil explains, "Writing 1010 and 1020 are a rite of passage for our
students. We often hear them say that if they can get through these
courses, they can get through anything. As a faculty, we are supportive
and understanding of the variety of learning styles that we encounter.
At the same time, this is a demanding program and one that sets the
standard for the way our students are expected to engage in the
academic community."
Professor Donovan's approach to teaching is
about helping her students find their own creative voice and supporting
them through that process. She makes a differentiation between skills
that are often lumped together and sees students not only as
individuals, but as thinkers, readers, writers, and scholars. The
process of writing, for her, is one of discovery. As she explains, "I
empathize with my students' fear of the empty page but I ask them to
acknowledge fear as a sign that we are on a threshold; we move forward
because whatever the risks of activity, we recognize them as much less
deadly than the risks of passivity."
Ultimately, students have
the last word. As a final project, they are asked to write a letter to
the next wave of students who will take the College's writing courses.
According to NEC's faculty, these letters are more than helpful advice
on how to survive Writing 1010 and 1020. They often contain proud
statements on all that students have accomplished and, when compared to
early assignments, describe tremendous gains in confidence and
proficiency as writers.
Testament to the strength of the writing
program at NEC is sophomore theatre major Emma Laing from
Massachusetts. Her first collection of poems, A Beautiful
was recently published by Outskirts Press and features nearly 60 works
touching on themes of love, hate, joy, and madness. She is described as
an "observant author who sees far beyond the obvious." Recent graduate
Gail "Bunny" McLeod and co-author Patrick 'GB' Harrison have written a
book, Who Says Kids Can't Fight Global Warming, that offers
practical advice for young people looking to become involved in the
fight against climate change.
This year, the Writing Department
faculty initiated a new series for the spring semester, Conversations
with Writers.
Each of the seven faculty members will schedule an evening to discuss
their work and the process by which they write. The series has been
popular with students and is one more example of the collaborative
interaction between faculty and students.

About the Waterfront Center
Oyster Bay is said to have some of the healthiest waters in the Long Island Sound; they are classified SA - signifying the highest and best water quality. Home of the famous "Pine Island" oysters, farmed since l887 by Frank M. Flower and Sons, our waters produce up to 90 percent of the oysters and up to 40 percent of the hard clams harvested in all of New York State.
This area of the waterfront used to be the site of Jakobson's Shipyard, which during World War II employed over 600 workers, building minesweepers, tugboats and mini-submarines for the U.S. Navy. The Jakobson Shipyard in Oyster Bay was once at the center of Long Island's shipbuilding industry. At its height of production, it was the largest builder of tugboats east of the Mississippi.
Eventually, changes in the industry left the future of this valuable waterfront site in question. Concerned citizens of Oyster Bay, who feared that the site could wind up in the hands of developers, stepped in to ensure the site remained a center for the community to explore its rich maritime heritage and connection to the bay. So in 1996, the site was purchased by the State of New York and the Town of Oyster Bay, and in 2000 the WaterFront Center was born to transform the site into a hands-on educational and recreational facility.
Today this is the home of the WaterFront Center, an environmental education and recreation not-for-profit community center. It is also the home of Christeen, a National Historic Landmark and the oldest surviving Oyster Sloop in North America.

I bought these as a low cost back up to my more expensive reading glasses. I thought they'd be cheap and cheerful, and had no expectations about quality. I as wrong....they are cheap, but really good quality and the time from ordering to delivery was amazingly short!
Very impressed with the ease of the process and the speed at which I could see the rate, get the rate and transfer the funds.
These lights are great. We linked 3 sets together and put them around the large fir tree in our front garden.
There's a really long lead between the plug and the first light, so you're not lighting up dead space.
Really happy!

Roulette also collaborates with other presenters in order to provide opportunities for large-scale works and extended runs. Between 50 and 90 concerts are presented each year, and since 1978 Roulette has presented almost 1000 concerts in its New York facility. Artists represent an extremely broad range of disciplines and backgrounds, a large percentage perform their own work, and nearly all concerts feature world premieres. Programs are chosen in direct response to current activity in the field and with careful consideration toward a balanced, inclusive season. Roulette also assists artists to realize special projects with potential impact on their careers. This is done through the commissioning of new works, encouraging collaborations, and arranging co-presentations in facilities suitable for larger or intermedia works.
Roulette's programs and services reflect the needs and interests of an international community of composers and performers. Roulette actively seeks minorities and special constituencies as part of its programming policy. Individuals and ensembles representing all minority groups have presented work at Roulette. The organization is committed to presenting innovative new music in all styles and genres. This policy thrives on minority inclusion which leads to a diverse range of music while representing the needs and interests of minorities and special constituencies.
Diverse, imaginative programming attracts a diverse, imaginative audience. One of the primary goals is to encourage creative, innovative activity as it emerges. While the number of clubs and mainstream concerts halls in New York is considerable, these venues do not provide opportunities for new experimental work. Roulette's audience understands and supports this distinction. Roulette encourages artist/audience interaction because a fundamental purpose is to broaden understanding and awareness of the work presented. Many artists who have performed in this intimate, nurturing setting early in their careers eventually appeared in prestigious venues including Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and many European concert halls. As Roulette is offering its 17th season, it has become a familiar and inviting environment for the public to contact innovative new work.

Case | HBS Case Collection | August 2000 (Revised December 2003)
by Richard S. Ruback and Aldo Sesia
Dell Computer Corp. manufactures, sells, and services personal computers. The company markets its computers directly to its customers and builds computers after receiving a customer order. This build-to-order model enables Dell to have much smaller investment in working capital than its competitors. It also enables Dell to more fully enjoy the benefits of reduction in component prices and to introduce new products more quickly. Dell has grown quickly and has been able to finance that growth internally by its efficient use of working capital and its profitability. This case highlights the importance of working capital management in a rapidly growing firm.

How to Refresh Your Summer Wardrobe
Stylist: Marina Muñoz
Hair and makeup: Emi Kaneko
The Printed Skirt
Prada banana skirt
Brahmin Olivia Rose handbag, $295, brahmin.com; Proenza Schouler black pony belt, $285, proenzaschouler.com; Salvatore Ferragamo heel, $975, Salvatore Ferragamo, 1.800.628.8916; Scosha twisted nail bracelet, $119, catbirdnyc.com; Pamela Love quartz crystal bangle, $525, Barneys New York, 212.826.8900; Anndra Neen wrap ring, $145, shopbop.com
Prada Banana Skirt:
Prada's tropical take on summer offered some of the most collectible and widely seen pieces of the year, but the banana print can still be a bunch of fun. A tailored, hunter-green polka-dot top from Marc Jacobs brings a deeper, autumn-ready color into the palette, creating a spot-on look that's more about mixing prints than daiquiris.
J. Crew pant, $495, jcrew.com; Proenza Schouler sandals, price upon request, proenzaschouler.com; Cara Croninger bead necklace, $2600, Ten Thousand Things, NYC, 212.352.1333; Anndra Neen cluster ring, $145, shopbop.com
The Silk Shirt:
Soft, drapey shirts were summer's most practical essential, worn with everything from breezy skirts to cutoff shorts. To update the uniform, pair a silk blouse with an unexpectedly textured accessory or a pair of highly structured pants (these printed tuxedo trousers from J.Crew are perfect for transitioning from summer's penchant for pajama pants). Add a strappy sandal from fall, and the total look keeps one foot in each season.
The Woven Tote
Woven tote from Kenya, $65
Brook Farm General Store, NYC, 718.388.8642
TSE shirt, $395, TSE skirt, $425, TSE, NYC, 212.925.2520; Marni shoes, $810, Barneys New York, 212.826.8900; Adrienne Landau fox-tail clip, $125.00, saks.com; Dries Van Noten Socks, driesvannoten.be
Woven Tote:
Even summer's most practical and well-worn accessory—the woven beach bag—can be reimagined for the tail end of the season by adding a foxy clip-on from Adrienne Landau. Think of it as your accessory's new accessory.
Proenza Schouler Navajo T-shirt; Proenza Schouler leather shirt; Diane von Furstenberg Peppe hat, $145, dvf.com; Meredith Wendell color-block belt, $295, firstname.lastname@example.com; 3.1 Phillip Lim penny cutoff boot, $525, 3.1 Phillip Lim, NYC, 212.334.1160; Pamela Love Zuni cuff, $550; ManiaMania Il Porto ring, $240, themaniamania.com
The Colored Jean:
Even though colored jeans were mostly worn simply with white tees and nautical stripes all summer long, they can also complement the Southwestern-inspired pieces seen at the fall collections. Denim in sunset hues such as bright red, orange, and purple takes on a less preppy and more rugged air when paired with Navajo prints from Proenza Schouler and pony-haired accessories.
Market Paulina T-shirt, $42, market-ts.com; Pamela Love tribal necklace, $185, for information: pamelalovenyc.com; Ten Thousand Things coil cuff, $1,200, tenthousandthingsnyc.com; Charles David Paradox heel, $230; Charles David, 310.659.7110
The Maxi Dress:
Vogue.com stylist Marina Muñoz spied Raquel Zimmermann in Brooklyn sporting a new take on the maxi dress: worn over a T-shirt and knotted at the knee. This tactic refreshes the dress's silhouette for early fall and can be done spur of the moment—try tying up the hem with a hair band, or pinning the dress with a brooch.
There are still seven more weeks of summer, and already you find yourself wearing on repeat the same warm-weather clothes you bought in April. How do you give these clothes the kiss of life? Here, Vogue rethinks summer's fashion staples, from Prada bananas to snakeskin sandals, to create a bi-seasonal mix that's sure to ward off summer fashion fatigue and look fresh through fall.

Quiet day but we got lost - more then once
... and a great coffee are finished we head to Banff Springs for a quick look around. The weather is **** but we at least get a quick look at the springs and river before hitting the road to Calgary. On the way we wanted to stop at Lake Minnewanka (heh, heh) - it's actually pronounced "Mini-Wonka" but it still brings a smile to my devious sense of humour. We can't actually get to the lake due to it being part of the Triathlon course so we head ...
Our flight to calgary
Today we flew to Calgary. We are staying on the outskirts and its very different here. People dress like cowboys and no one walks anywhere, they drive HUGE ute/trucks or great big 4WD's. Everywhere in town was closed due to flooding or completely booked out due to peak season... So we are way way out of town, but it has perks too. For the same price as our noisy, smelly, dirty hostels, we are now in a posh, clean room with our own ...
Flood in discovery!
We were about to come home from school when we discovered that the lake in discovery ridge flooded! We had to leave for a little while until the water goes down, but for now we need to live in our trailer at the Calaway park campground! We might be able to go to the park tommorow... I hope we do! By, ...
Grandy and Grannette redux
... a stroll to the lake at the community centre. We would have considered it anything but warm and were amazed to watch the kids play on a very soggy beach and even venture into the lake for a waist deep paddle. Julian (age 2) was a little dubious about the soggy sinking sand but only took a few minutes to get used to it and had loads of fun making wet sandcastles with Ava. We ...

On the bus and picking up a full load from the other hotels as we meander through Varadero and head along the beautiful blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Lush and vivid greens roll by the glass of our air conditioned tour bus as our guide divulges the the history and the mystique of this new and enchanting land. Wrapped in an exciting history of conquering nations from the seventeenth century to the most recent independence as a Cuban society due to the revolution led by ...

Plot & Details
Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Levinson recounts the dedicated efforts of a devoted marching band to support their hometown football team at all costs. It was during a chilly March night in 1984 that Baltimore Colts owner Robert Irsay made the rash decision to move his team to Indianapolis, and when the fans awoke the following morning that could barely believe the news. Realizing that they were facing the biggest challenge of their careers, the members of the team's volunteer marching band made it their mission to help build up a team that Baltimore football fans could truly be proud of.

Was a program for producing PAD (Portable Application Description) XML (extensible Markup Language) program descriptor files. These are used to describe shareware. This is the program I use for producing all the PADs (Portable Application Descriptions) posted on this website. The latest version is 188.8.131.52 Last revised/verified: 2011-12-03 PADGen does not handle the PAD 4.0 spec. You have to use AppVisor to upgrade your version 3.11 PAD files to version 4. You are supposed to use an inept online pad editor as ASP (Association of Shareware Professionals) instead. It is impossible to use, so I refuse to upgrade to version 4.
PADGen is a simple fill in the blanks application, allowing you to describe your program is as many languages as you want. It handles all the Vista variants. If you have a Microsoft Authenticode certificate, you can sign your PAD files. It import/exports PAD files, and exports HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). You only have to fill in your company info once. To handle a new product you would load up a similar product's PAD, modify it and save it under a new name. There is nothing similar to Java inheritance to group similar products by theme and variation. There is no particular place to record the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) required. You do much of the work by selecting from drop-down boxes.
On Vista/W2008/W7-32/W7-64/W8-32/W8-64, PADGen stores its information in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\PADGen\canadian_mind_products Where canadian_mind_products is my company. Sometimes it puts them in C:\Users\ %username%\Documents\PADGen\canadian_mind_products. If files disappear, it can be because PADGen is looking in the wrong place. You can use the File menu to navigate to where they are. C:\Users\ %username%\AppData\Roaming\PADGen\PADGen.ini contains the overall configuration.
PADGen stores the detail information in separate xml *.cml (for company) and *.pml (for programs). The *.xml PAD files exports have both company and program fields. You can cheat and edit these *.cml and *.pml files directly to make bulk changes.
PADGen stores the PAD spec (which includes the Regexes to describe what is allowable in each field in Program Files\PADGen\pad_spec.xml.
I wrote some other programs to get around the limitations of PADGen. This was very easy to do since PADGen stores its company and application data in ordinary XML files.

Any substance containing hydrogen in combination with a non-metallic element(s) and capable of producing hydrogen ions in solution. An acid is capable of neutralising or being neutralised by a base.
In lubricants, acidity denotes the presence of acidic constituents whose concentration is usually defined in terms of an acid number.
A chemical compound or compounds added to a lubricating oil for the purpose of imparting new properties or enhancing existing properties.
Aniline point
The lowest temperature at which a hydrocarbon fluid is completely miscible with an equal quantity of aniline. The higher the reading, the lower the aromatic content, and hence the smaller the effect on rubber.
antifoam agent
An additive used to suppress the foaming tendency of petroleum products in service. May be a silicone oil to break up surface bubbles or a polymer to decrease the number of small entrained bubbles.
antiwear agent
Additives or their reaction products which form thin, tenacious films on highly loaded parts to prevent metal-to-metal contact.
API gravity
An arbitrary scale adopted by the American Petroleum Institute for expressing the relative density of an oil.
Degrees API =(141.5/rel.density@60°F) - 131.5
Hydrocarbons of ring structure having the smallest hydrogen to carbon ratio.
Some additives, particularly conventional detergent additives, leave behind a powdery residue after combustion. This residue is known as ash and can cause engine malfunction if allowed to build up in the combustion chamber, cylinder liner ports and turbochargers.
ash (sulphated)
The ash content of an oil, determined by charring the oil and breaking the residue with sulphuric acid and evaporating to dryness. Expressed as % by mass.
Components of asphalt which are insoluble in petroleum naphtha but are soluble in aromatic solvents. They are hard and brittle and made up largely of high molecular weight polynuclear hydrocarbon derivatives containing carbon, hydrogen, sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen and usually nickel, iron and vanadium.

According to Micron, the 2Gb and 4Gb DDR3Lm devices are the first of their kind to provide substantially less self refresh power (IDD6), yielding longer battery life but maintaining the performance of pc dram. Micron claims the first 2Gb DDR3Lm will provide up to 50% self refresh power savings compared to standard 2Gb DDR3L, while driving performance up to -1600MT/s when required. The 4Gb DDR3Lm product is designed to deliver the same optimised power efficiency as the 2Gb part, with a reduced chip count, suitable for ultra thin and tablet customers. Both devices will be adopted into Micron's 30nm class in a bid to further optimise the power and performance features - with the 4Gb device hitting a 3.7mA IDD6 target in standby mode, yet still supporting speeds up to -1866 MT/s. "Power reduction is becoming ever more critical in the fast growing thin and light markets," said Robert Feurle, vice president for Micron's DRAM marketing. "Micron's expertise with traditional pc memory requirements enables these markets to enjoy high performance targets and optimal cost efficiencies. The combination of our commitment to customer collaboration and dedication to leading the way in dram technologies has proven highly successful, and this new class of 30nm dram continues to deliver on that promise." Sampling of the new DDR3Lm low power product line has begun, with volume production on 30nm class devices expected to begin in 2Q'12.

Toffees rout still hurts Keane
07 Mar 2008 - 12:02:12
Sunderland manager Roy Keane claims he has learned from his previous mistakes against Everton, as he prepares to face the Merseyside club again at the weekend.
The Black Cats were thrashed 7-1 at Goodison Park back in November in a match which Keane claims will hurt him for the rest of his management career.
However, despite being unhappy with the performance of his players that day, Keane has also accepted responsibility for the low point in the Wearsiders' season.
Sunderland host Everton at the Stadium of Light on Sunday with Keane looking for a response.
"I always remember the defeats, it's the way I am," he told the club's official website.
"It hurt me and it hurt the players but you have to move on. You have to learn from the setbacks and mistakes and I certainly learned from that defeat.
"You've got to be hurt when you have days like that and I learned a lot about myself that day. The most important thing is that you don't make the same mistakes again.
"If things aren't going right you have to be prepared to change it and sometimes you have to take a 3-1 defeat, instead of being daft enough to think you can win 6-5 - that was my attitude that day.
"Sunday is a chance for the players to go out and express themselves and show what Sunderland is all about."
