Reason for Optimism
At least my takeaway from the 2010 NFPA Spring Conference at Laguna Beach, California was that we indeed have reason for optimism in the fluid power industry. One of my all-time favorite speakers, economist Alan Beaulieu (click on the title of this post for more information on Alan,) gave a presentation that confirmed my notion.
Alan stated that we are currently in a state of a sustainable recovery with continued mild improvement on the industrial side. Even though the U.S. industrial economy will remain somewhat dull, potential growth lies in our relationships with our foreign trading partners. He cautioned about the forecasts of some economists about doubling of exports but restated that foreign markets do offer U.S. manufacturers some reason for optimism.
Another very interesting claim by Mr. Beaulieu that makes a lot of sense is that unemployment lags so far behind the performance of an economy that it should not be considered an economic indicator. We are certainly seeing slow employment recovery in an otherwise improving economy.
Long term, the forecast remains that we will enjoy a strong 2011 and 2012 with things slowing down in 2013 followed by a mild recession in 2014 with a recovery in 2015. This seems like a more normal pattern than what we have experienced in 2009.
Industrial production in America has turned the corner and is coming back. The manufacturing index is up and our GDP is strong. These are all reasons for optimism at least in the short term. The fluid power industry is definitely in Alan's phase A and that is good news if you consider that phases A and B are all pointing upward.
Once again, Mr. Alan Beaulieu held his audience captive for an entire hour not only with very sound data and advice but a wit and sense of humor that make his sessions always enjoyable. I look forward to his presentation at the Industry and Economic Outlook Conference in August in Wheeling, Illinois.

I got my first Mustang in 1993 and Ive owned four Mustangs in total; a 1991 5.0 LX Hatchback, a 2000 GT, a 1998 Cobra and my current ride, a 2010 GT.
When my current ride found me, I was looking for an 08-09 Bullitt because of its plain styling and balanced setup. While doing some research for the power and handling specs of the Bullitt, I read that the engine calibration and suspension package for the 09 Bullitt was carried over into the 2010 GT. I preferred the updates of the 10-up cars, so I started looking for a 2010 GT.
And there it was. I actually got a little warm and sweaty when I looked at the dealers photos of the car. When I drove it, I just knew it was MY car.

NEWPORT, R.I. – John Allen, senior correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter and senior Vatican analyst for CNN, will discuss "Behind the Headlines: Pope Francis and His New Vision for the Catholic Church" when he presents a lecture on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. on the campus of Salve Regina University.
Free and open to the public. Allen's lecture will be presented in Bazarsky Lecture Hall, located in O'Hare Academic Center on Ochre Point Avenue.
Allen is the author of seven best-selling books on the Vatican and Catholic affairs, and writes frequently on the Church for major national and international publications. He's also a popular speaker on Catholic affairs, both in the United States and abroad.
The London Tablet has called Allen "the most authoritative writer on Vatican affairs in the English language," and renowned papal biographer George Weigel has called him "the best Anglophone Vatican reporter ever." When Allen was called upon to put the first question to Pope Benedict XVI aboard the papal plane en route to the United States in April 2008, the Vatican spokesperson said to the pope: "Holy Father, this man needs no introduction."
Veteran religion writer Kenneth Woodward of Newsweek described Allen as "the journalist other reporters – and not a few cardinals – look to for the inside story on how all the pope's men direct the world's largest church."
Allen's work is admired across ideological divides. Liberal commentator Fr. Andrew Greeley calls his writing "indispensable," while the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, a conservative, called Allen's reporting "possibly the best source of information on the Vatican published in the United States." His weekly internet column, "All Things Catholic," is widely read as a source of insight on the global Church.
Allen's most recent book is People of Hope, an extended interview with Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York. John divides his time between Rome and his home in Denver, Colorado. He grew up in Western Kansas, and holds a Master's degree in Religious Studies from the University of Kansas.

Serves 2 as a main course; 4 as an appetizer.
The white of this pizza comes from a mix of three cheeses. The heat from the pizza slightly wilts the greens and the prosciutto adds a welcome salty sweetness.
Heat your grill as directed in the master instructions below.
Sprinkle your work surface with the cornmeal. Place the dough in the middle of the surface. You can either roll out the dough with a rolling pin, stretch it out with your hands, or press it out from the center against the work surface. Ideally, you want a 12-inch, organically shaped piece of dough—round, square, or rectangular—1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Drizzle or brush both sides generously with the 2 Tbs. olive oil.
Grill the first side of the crust following the instructions below. Use tongs to transfer it from the grill to a peel or rimless baking sheet.
Flip the crust to reveal the grilled side. Spread the entire surface with the garlic paste, then top with the mozzarella and Asiago, and spoon dollops of the ricotta over all. Finish grilling the pizza following the instructions below.
Remove from the grill and drizzle with some of the truffle oil. Drizzle the arugula lightly with olive oil and toss, then place immediately on top of pizza (so that the heat of the pizza wilts it). Arrange the prosciutto on top and season with salt and pepper. Slice and serve immediately.
For Gas Grills
For Charcoal Grills
You can replace the truffle oil with shaved white truffles.
A pizza like this one deserves to be enjoyed with a Frozen Affogato Shake.
Make yourself a Tangerita by mixing 2 ounces tequila, 2 ounces fresh lime juice, 1 ounce Triple Sec, and 4 ounces fresh tangerine juice. Shake over ice and serve.

by cody_nabz, 1/2/2012I agree with the other review. I've also notice the hole at the picture. Is that a design? or just part of the preparation. Take a tour on this site, www.learnaboutpizza.com.
by skc921, 10/26/2009This was a great pizza! The arugula was really tasty. ...but why is there a round hole cut out of the pizza in the picture? (in the bottom right of the picture)

How and When Do I Apply For Financial Aid?
Incoming DPT students begin in summer semester, which is considered the last semester of the financial aid cycle. Therefore, new students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for both 2011-12 and 2012-13. The 2011-12 FAFSA is based on 2010 income, and the 2012-13 FAFSA is based on 2011 income.
Complete the 2011-12 FAFSA immediately. If you completed a 2011-12 FAFSA previously but did not include Emory as one of your schools at the end of the form, you should go to the FAFSA website to make a correction and add Emory. Complete the 2012-13 FAFSA as soon as you have your 2011 income information available. We encourage students to complete their 2011 tax return as soon as possible and use the tax return to answer the questions on the FAFSA.
The FAFSA is available on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The school code for Emory is 001564.
The deadline to submit your financial aid documents is March 1, 2012 for incoming students. This is a target date and not a cut-off date, but students who complete their financial aid file later may miss out on some institutional funds. The deadline for returning students is May 1, 2012.
What Happens After I Apply For Financial Aid?
Once the university Office of Financial Aid receives your FAFSA information, they will begin to send you e-mails to let you know if other documents are required. About a third of all applicants will be asked to submit documentation of their income. Please respond promptly, but don't submit your tax documents if the Office of Financial Aid does not request them. Your financial aid file will be considered incomplete until all documents requested have been received.
How Will I Know What Kind of Financial Aid I¿m Awarded?
The Office of Financial Aid will review your applications for both Summer 2012 and for the Fall 2012/Spring 2013 academic year at about the same time, and they will send you separate award letters for both periods. This will happen approximately in April 2012. The award letters will be electronic and will not be sent in hardcopy.
By the time you are awarded, you will have access to Emory's student information system OPUS. You will be able to review and accept your awards on-line, and you will be given instructions to complete promissory notes for any student loans that you accept.
The Office of Financial Aid will send you yet another award letter for Summer 2013 sometime during the preceding semester. You do not need to complete a separate application because your eligibility will be based on your 2012-13 FAFSA.

Riding across Manhattan in a stretch limo in order to get a haircut, a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager's day devolves into a odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart.
3D re-releases have come thick and fast over the last few months with the likes of The Lion King and Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace leading the way. With the recent announcement that Jurassic Park will be given the 3D makeover for a 2013 release, classic blockbusters have most certainly found their way back to the big screen. 2012 seems perfect timing, then, for James Cameron to re-release his hugely successful 1997 film Titanic, as it not only coincides with this current fad, but also marks the centennial year of the ship's ill-fated maiden voyage.
"Twas brillig, and the slithey toves," an elder intones, aghast. A traveller has arrived, beaten and battered, at a medieval village – a nice clean one, with a friendly Labrador wagging its tail in the main square– claiming to have been pursued by a flying monster. Said monster descends upon the village, causing mayhem, and is quickly identified as the Jabberwock, as featured in a prophecy of old which bears a strong resemblance to Lewis Carroll's famous nonsense poem.
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
You probably heard that the latest Prometheus trailer was released over the last two weeks, causing a lot of hype for fans of Ridley Scott's return to the Alien franchise, but that wasn't the only highly anticipated film to get a new promo video. This week we also look at the latest trailer for Snow White And The Huntsman, a number of first trailers for films including Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Cosmopolis, and House At The End Of The Street, and also a handful of films that have recently made their debuts at a number of film festivals over the past couple of months. You're sure in for a treat.

George and Ann Fisher
George and Ann Fisher live in Phoenix, Arizona, and are the proud grandparents of Mimi and Myles Fisher (shown in photo). Mr. Fisher is the retired Chief Executive Officer of Motorola and Eastman Kodak.
For the last several years our family has focused our philanthropic efforts on educational projects throughout the developing world—scholarship programs for girls and young women in Vietnam and Senegal, libraries and schools in Ethiopia and Laos, and vocational training projects for women in Afghanistan. We believe that one of the best ways to address global poverty is to help educate young people, specifically girls, and give them a chance to create better lives for themselves and their families.
Recently, we have started to direct a large part of our giving toward the country of Ethiopia, because in 2006 our granddaughter, Mimi, was born in southwestern Ethiopia. Sadly, Mimi's birth mother was unable to care for her and died of dysentery soon after dropping Mimi off at an orphanage. We feel truly blessed that Mimi has become a part of our family, and this blessing, we believe, carries with it a responsibility to give back to the people of Ethiopia. So, we do our best to find meaningful projects that are truly making a difference in the lives of Ethiopians.
We have followed the progress of the Population Council for many years, always impressed by the variety and depth of the Council's programs. When we heard about the Council's work with adolescent girls in Addis Ababa, we felt it was a perfect fit for our family giving. The Council's "Biruh Tesfa" ("Bright Future") project gives the most vulnerable population—teenage girls in urban slums, most of whom have lost one or both of their parents—a chance to create meaningful relationships, learn valuable life and literacy skills, and receive education on HIV/reproductive health issues. Every girl who is touched by the Council's work in Ethiopia has the opportunity to create a brighter future for herself. The simple, yet very powerful ingredients of support and education are changing lives for the better.
As a family we are convinced that the "Biruh Tesfa" project is making an immediate positive impact on the lives of thousands of Ethiopian girls, and we are so honored to be a small part of making it possible. For a relatively modest amount of money, by U.S. standards, donors like us can help the Population Council make dramatic, positive changes in the lives of young women around the world.

That's judgmental. You don't know anything about her situation.
I've had a friend who has flooded my inbox for months with how Obama was the anti-Christ and crap. I was going through something the other night and didn't want to listen to it, so I told her what I really thought of those emails. We're still friends.
You all are being judgmental jerks and you all deserve lonliness.
How about a little bit of judgmentalness right back at you all?
WTF. Is this your first time reading the B/W forum? We laugh at DUmmies here. We point our fingers and laugh at their insanity. For crying out loud, how long have you been a member here and you don't know this?
Just for that nonsense, I'm lumping you in with that DUmmy. We are no longer CU friends. Enjoy loneliness.
If we're no longer CU friends over one post, then you're not worth my time. In fact, anybody who would stop being friends with somebody over politics or a disagreement is a loser. Hypothetically speaking. I only mean this if you're serious.
As for the purpose of this forum, you all take it too far sometimes. You all sometimes kick people when they're down. You all need to realize that there's a person on the other end of the computer, even if that person doesn't agree with you all politically. I know that's a huge concept.
As for loneliness, I just got back from hanging out with a friend about an hour ago. So much for that concept.

gonna be another mile day. Today maybe the slowest mile ever. Bouncing hurts the ear. This is when I question the wisdom of the streak, but since it helped me through some rough weeks I'll knuckle through this one. 1 mile feels like cheating. But I would quit if it had to be more.

CD/LP/Track Review
Paul Flaherty: Voices (2003)
It's obvious from the get-go that he can play his horn well. He can move around the sax with fluidity and he has a sweet command of the altissimo range on either horn. His tone lands somewhere between Sonny Rollins and Anthony Braxton. Rollins is well known for his free- association improvisational flights over harmonic changes, and Braxton is well known for creative improvisations within his own open-ended compositional forms, and he made jazz history with the release of his first solo saxophone recording entitled For Alto in 1968.
Flaherty takes neither of these avenues for solo saxophone improvisation, but seems intent upon chasing down his own elusive spirit(s). This perspective is more akin to the work of Jack Wright, Tom Guralnick, or perhaps Noah Howard.
Each piece sounds as if he simply begins playing the horn, then he starts shaping the mystery into something he seems to know. Free improvisation often assumes this form, and at its best, can take the player and the audience to heretofore unknown worlds. At its worst, it is terribly self- indulgent and of little interest to anyone other than the player. This disk falls somewhere between those two points for reasons that are not entirely Flaherty's fault, but problems that seem often to come with the turf.
This album could have benefited from having a producer other than the improviser himself at the control panel. Another perspective can really provide deeper insights into a recording project of any kind, and free improvisation may need an outside perspective even more than other styles simply because it is such a personal music. If this album had been shorter in overall duration, it would not have lost any of its impact on the listener. This would be a stronger recording if it had been a more concise statement.
Fans of improvised music should find this album enjoyable and essential to any devotee of the form.
You can find this album by writing to Paul Flaherty at: Wet Paint Music / POB 1024 / Manchester, CT 06045.
Track Listing: A few moments of mortal time; Windowed by her eyes; Song for Bobby Sands; Little Death; Simple
Light; You can't go home again; But we will keep the secret; Our tears are always young; Once you
care...you always care
Personnel: Paul Flaherty-alto and tenor saxophones
Record Label: Wet Paint
Style: Modern Jazz

Love this Carhartt jacket...
By: brianeugne
This jacket is incredible! The cotton duck is waterproof and super tough. Moreover, this jacket goes well with everything, be it work clothes or casual. And it just gets better with age as it breaks in to your body. Highly recommended!

Durable Carhartt coat!...
By: DerekKang
Made of the thickest duck fabric. Had a close encounter with a sharp piece of protruding sheet metal and it barely scratched the coat. I'm sure if I was wearing another jacket, it would have ripped a hole. Fits large, but extremely durable.

Great Coat...
By: PaulHoryn
Winter coats these days seem to always be jam packed with extra features, gadgets, do dads, and whatnot that they take away from the aesthetic of the coat making it hard to find a coat that's functional AND stylish. I own several Carhartt jackets and it's pretty obvious why. Carhartt is a well established brand that makes quality products so you know what your buying will last. The build of the coat is very nice but it does fit big so size down appropriately. Love the colour of this coat and the other Carhartts.

Great, tough jacket that can handle what you throw at it...
By: JDMFanatic
I would not be afraid of anything while wearing thisCarhartt C001 blanket lined duck chore jacket. This duck coat is tough and thick, and will easily be able to handle anything on your jobsite or otherwise. I bought this instead of the Pointer Chore Coat that has been recommended by many, and the only negative I see from this option is that the coat fits big, so make sure to size down 1-2 sizes. I'm regularly a small and I bought a small, but I think I could have gone with an XS. Right now the small is huge in the waist. If you're a size medium or above, this coat is awesome! (just size down)

Solid, durable chore coat...
By: kseverna
As someone with a 41" chest and a 37" sleeve, I really appreciate this Carhartt'sDuck Chore Coat C001. The Medium Tall size is just incredible. This coat does fit a little big, even with a sweater underneath, but the fact that they make a coat in this size is really really great. The fabric is pretty stiff out of the package, but a run through the tumble dryer and wearing it over time really helps with that. The blanket lining is also a little scratchy, but the sleeves are lined with some other, synthetic material that's much smoother and just as insulating. Would recommend.

Great Carhartt jacket!...
By: brianeugne
This jacket is tough! Carhartt has a reputation for making great clothing, and this jacket does not disappoint. I wish that it was easier to find the Made in USA version, but it's hard to spot the difference in a side by side comparison with this jacket. I sized down, so I would recommend trying it on before buying.

Ex-county employees charged with thefts from residents' estates

This is poor journalism, which is surprising, since I have been accustomed to a high standard of reporting from the Almanac and this reporter.
If it is deemed newsworthy that the Portola Valley school board didn't have proper oversight over T. Hanretty, why is it not newsworthy that Stephen Wagstaffe, San Mateo District Attorney, didn't have proper oversight over these employees who embezzled trust funds?
At least in Portola Valley's caee, the fraud was hard to detect. This article also doesn't mention that the fraud of these two employees was detected almost immediately after a different department, health services, took over management of them from Wagstaffe. As in days.
It's more newsworthy to report on this flagrant lapse in judgment and management by Stephen Wagstaffe, who continues to serve in San Mateo County at a high level, than some petty thefts by these two employees.

Thanks for the update, Dave.
From the Mercury News:
Web Link
"Wagstaffe said the district attorney's office itself didn't have anything to do with the Public Administrator program, but he plans to investigate how the alleged crimes occurred."
Huh? The DA's office oversaw the program! It's hard to know whether no one was minding the store over at the DA's office, or whether they were, and failed to catch the crimes.
Wagstaffe's office should have been investigating the crimes AS they occurred, not investigating HOW they had occurred after the fact.
And now Wagstaffe is hiding out from reporters.
As he has done in the past, when Wagstaffe cannot control the media narrative on an issuethat makes him look bad, he hides like a baby from the press.

Hartmann Mobile Office

Hartmann Mobile Office
$ 695.00
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ricardo55 Brooks Brothers Work Of Art
The Hartmann Mobile Office is a most handsome piece of luggage. The signature Hartmann belting leather adds touches of pure luxury especially on any surface your hand touches in carrying it. There is even a leather wrap around on the telescoping handle. Another really cool touch is the removeable file holder if more room is needed. The laptop insert is very sturdy and gives the computer plenty of protection. One of the most beautiful touches of this piece is the patch of leather with the Brooks Brothers logo. There is one caveat, however. The description on the web site states this piece is "Made In USA". Inside the piece is a lable "Made In China". I fully investigated this upon receipt and even called Hartmann who told me all but two of their lines are now manufactured in China.

I was VERY happy when I got this bag as a gift, and really enjoy using it...but I found that if I wanted to bring my 17 inch laptop, it really didnt fit comfortable in the sleeve. I also had a hard time carrying the laptop and my fiels and other needs together as the realy idn't fit. I went onthe hartmann website and saw that similar bagd were actually four inches wider!!! I wnent to the store to check them out and found them to be more roomy Although I love the bag and the style, I would have bought the hartmann bag if I had the choice because it was roomier.

I really like the Mobile Office as it is very well constructed and my 17" MAC Book fits prefectly. However, I must agree with one of the reviewers who commented that his 17" laptop didn't fit... my Dell 17" does not fit in this Mobile Office as it seems to be more of a bulkier build than the MAC.

Mid Morning
A few weeks ago (was it less than that?) oil was going to $200.
The assumption/extrapolation of the immediate trend and the willingness to flip flop is obviously very common.
The thing that I think is more important is supply and demand. Recently estimates for US consumption were cut to 19 million barrels per day for 2008. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me unless demand destruction turns out to be real.
So maybe oil has put in a high for the foreseeable future but what is your opinion for long term supply and demand globally? If you think demand must go up then selling too much of your energy exposure now, despite what you might hear on TV or read on the interweb, might turn out to be a mistake in two or three years if oil stocks turn up when no one expects them to and then get away from you.

Oil prices raced far beyond what the current supply/demand situation called for and I believe put in their highs for 2008. However, the long term supply/demand situation hasn't changed and prices will continue to rise over the next decade, albeit at a measured pace.
Ironically, a Dem controlled congress with an Obama presidency could put a lid on another bout of runaway oil prices. Expect a hybrid in every garage (whether you want one or not) and massive subsidies to public transporation and the alternative energy industry. Your hard earned tax dollars will be hard at work reducing U.S. oil consumption.
Keep in mind the Dems aren't honestly concerned about high gasoline prices, in fact they prefer them. These folks worship at the alter of Algore and have fallen hook, line and sinker for the global warming hoax.
So if oil prices will only rise at a gradual pace over the next few years, where is the next bull market: TAXES! - 12:05 PM

Sorry, I'm not a Republican.
Speaking of conservatives, ask a real fiscal conservative how "conservative" they think Republicans have been the past 8 years.
And who is this "full crew" of conservatives you speak of? Bush? McCain? Warner? Graham? Specter? Kyl? Martinez? Craig? Lugar? Snowe? Lott? Hagel? Gregg? Bennett?

The US does not have an energy policy except to import whatever oil we need.
Maybe we should sell Alaska back to Russia. We could use the money to pay off the national debt completely.
Instead of interest payments on the national debt, we could dramatically cut taxes.
Russia could drill in Alaska and sell the oil on the world's markets.
Win-win. - 4:55 PM

My guess.
For the rest of the year I think oil has put in an it high. It seems to me the price of oil matters most around expiration/delivery time. I think (?) it was in the mid $130s around expiration time the last few months. If that is right the $10-15 over that was the speculation premium. I think that premium is going away and may even "over correct". Demand reduction may(?) drive another 5-10% off the price. Hence my guess is it will trade in a range between $100 and $120 for an extended period of time. If that price is accurate, the energy industry should have plenty of incentives and continue to show strong profits and be a solid investment for awhile longer. - 5:16 PM

So maybe oil has put in a high for the foreseeable future but what is your opinion for long term supply and demand globally?
Is this trend going to reverse or even slow (see article below). I highly doubt it, and there are a billion of them. The entire move in 2008 from 100 to 145 back to 120 is probably just technical trend following. The LT trend is still up IMO because at least to me the long-term supply/demand picture is pretty clear.

"If demand destruction is real?" WHO ya kidding? With 4 cars in the family
my gas bill has ...well gone up three fold in the past two years. Do you think we still don't think about where and when we drive? Demand destruction is common sense.
Also, read something this am where we have discovered enough new oil deposits in the Alaskan region, recently, that would solve any oil "problem" for the next 123 years. Don't be a patsy here, the Dems want us to hurt, so they can blame it on Bush. But we all know, politics aside, it's the Congress that will not allow drilling. - 7:56 PM

Maybe the short term demand is down because China is trying to clean up its act for the Olympics. Front page of WSJ today showed just how bad the pollution problem is and the drastic measures the Chinese government is taking to try to control it. It has been said that runaway oil prices have coincided with Inida's and China's increased demand.
Anon in CG - 9:50 PM

Anon in CG, you raise an important point about oil (and other commodities) consumption. I'd like to refine it and focus on China - they have the Olympics coming up and have the will and the money to buy everything to make sure it's the 'best, ever Olympics'. The authorities lowered the income tax rate on the lowest earners, about a billion, at the start of the year and have also been building infrastructure at incredible rates. It's their once-in-a-generation opportunity to display all the magnificence and grandeur of the Chinese government, enterprise, spirit etc etc yadda yadda.
I think all the immediate stuff that needs to be done in time has been completed. Of course there's still the long-term trend of new cities popping up in China, India, Russia, South America and the Middle East plus the infrastructure repairs still needed in the developed economies. I read a lot of people saying they're cutting back on their fuel use because of high prices, there's certainly caution out there. - 4:25 AM

Hey Roger,
I'm a momentum trader of stocks/options and have been trading for 10 years. I believe I have good insight to offer, so I started a trading blog about a month ago and also provide watchlists (long/short) for traders who either don't like research, don't have time, or just want to see what others are finding in their scans. I do market commentary, indicator analysis, and recently registered with Covestor to add credibility to my site. I'm ready to generate more traffic, so I'm looking for other traders who'd like to exchange links. I'm selective about whom I work with, and think that your site is one of the better ones. I'd welcome any advice you may have on how to generate more traffic.
Thanks for your time.

InterPro entry IPR007732
Flavocytochrome b558 is the catalytic core of the respiratory-burst oxidase, an enzyme complex that catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of O2 into the superoxide anion O2 in phagocytic cells. Flavocytochrome b558 is anchored in the plasma membrane. It is a heterodimer that consists of a large glycoprotein gp91phox (phox forphagocyte oxidase) (beta subunit) and a small protein p22phox (alpha subunit). The other components of the respiratory-burst oxidase are water-soluble proteins of cytosolic origin, namely p67phox, p47phox, p40phox and Rac. Upon cell stimulation, they assemble with the membrane-bound flavocytochrome b558 which becomes activated and generates O2- [PUBMED:8798532].

Sigpack Systems Div., a Bosch Packaging Technology Co.: Sigpack Systems Div., a Bosch Packaging Technology Co.: New Delta Robot Platform LDx from Bosch with modular principle offers production diversity
• Maximum machine uptime with reduced cleaning and changeover times
• Simple operation using touchscreens and tool-free gripper changing
The platform is made up of compact cells with integrated Delta robots which can be adapted easily and flexibly to suit a variety of applications. With this new system Sigpack Systems demonstrates its competence in developing automated technologies for handling and packaging processes.
The platform is being manufactured in two versions – standard steel and the stainless steel. The stainless steel versions meet the latest EU hygiene standards and consist of food compatible materials. The bearings in the arms are made of ceramic and are nonwearing, like all other major drive components of the Delta robots. The exposed structure of the robot cells means that there are no enclosed spaces. Due to the smooth, angled
The LDx standard components (basic cells) can be combined to meet each customer's specific requirements. Depending on customer specifications, the cell can be configured as a MonoPacker (LDM) for packing one product type in each container, an AssortmentPacker (LDA) for producing mixed packs, or as a FeedPlacer (LDF) for loading pillow-pack machines or side loaders. This gives users the ability to adapt the equipment to suit their own output and product range. The output and speed of the system depend on the number of robots used; sophisticated design technology always ensures versatility and flexibility in both product and pack type.
"In theory, the robot cells can be positioned in any way, like building bricks. Users have a system which they can adapt easily and quickly to cope with their future production needs," says Roland Czuday, Product Manager at Sigpack Systems.
The robots are able to handle an almost unlimited number of products – blister packs, tubes, sprays, cookies, fragile baked goods, chocolates, pizza and even fish and meat dishes. A variety of gripper types ensures that products are handled with care. Regardless of whether the process uses vacuum suction, airstream grippers or finger grippers, fast-action couplings mean that the robot arm can be quickly modified to suit different production requirements.

"It eliminates exit points -- points where students can drop out of the system," Crane said.
Also, Vandal noted, one of the major stumbling blocks to student retention and graduation is the core math requirement -- which traditionally means college algebra.
"To be college-ready means you need to be able to pass college algebra. Mathematics is the biggest hurdle for students going to college," Vandal said. "If they can't get over that hurdle, oftentimes they won't graduate."
While college algebra is a necessary building block for students majoring in math, engineering or the sciences, Vandal said Complete College America advocates offering more appropriate math pathways, such as statistics courses for business, marketing and political science majors, and quantitative literacy courses for majors in journalism, foreign languages or graphic design.
"We're putting students into a system they don't need," he said.
Sen. Larry Edgell, D-Wetzel, agreed.
"As a former math teacher, I had to know algebra because I taught it, but I never used it in real life," Edgell said. "I don't need to know when the plane from New York and the plane from Los Angeles are going to cross each other."
West Virginia is one of 34 states participating in Complete College America, and one of nine states in leadership roles, Vandal said.

Title | Semiconductor die products - Part 2: Exchange data formats |
Project Number | 15905 |
Abstract/Scope | This part of EN 62258 has been developed to facilitate the production, supply and use of semiconductor die products, including but not limited to - singulated bare die, - minimally or partially encapsulated die and wafers. This standard specifies the data formats that may be used for the exchange of data covered by other parts in the EN 62258 series as well as definitions of all parameters used according to the principles and methods of EN 61360-1, EN 61360-2 and EN 61360-4. It introduces a Device Data Exchange (DDX) format, with the prime goal of facilitating the transfer of adequate geometric data between the die manufacturer and the CAD/CAE user and formal information models that allow data exchange in other formats such as STEP physical file format, fin accordance with ISO 10303-21 and XML. The data format has been kept intentionally flexible to permit usage beyond this initial scope. This standard reflects the DDX data format: version 1.2.1. |

Sean Delontay Branch pleads guilty to charge of animal cruelty
A 24-year-old D.C. man accused of killing a puppy by dropping a nearly 100-pound cement block on the animal's head has pleaded guilty to a charge of animal cruelty.
Sean Delontay Branch pleaded guilty on Monday in D.C. Superior Court. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 27 and faces up to five years behind bars and a $25,000 fine.
Authorities say King Tut, a 6-month-old puppy, was tied to a fence behind the Circle Seven Express store in the 1200 block of Mount Olivet Road NE in July.
Branch, who was angry at King Tut's owner, dropped a concrete slab on the dog when the puppy's owner walked away, authorities say. The owner returned to find the puppy dead.
Scott Giacoppo, the Washington Humane Society's vice president of External Affairs and chief programs officer, issued this statement on Branch's conviction:
"Animal cruelty is a serious offense and I am glad to see that justice was done today. The Washington Humane Society's Humane Law Enforcement team will continue to investigate and prosecute those suspected of these heinous crimes. No dog, cat or any animal deserve to suffer the brutality that befell King Tut."

LAGOS, May 15 (Reuters) - The Nigerian naira eased against the U.S. dollar on the interbank market on Wednesday as strong demand from importers of fuel and other goods drained liquidity in the market, traders said.
The naira closed at 157.55 to the greenback, weaker than Tuesday's close of 157.30.
Traders said there was a surge in dollar demand on Wednesday from local importers against thinning supply, knocking the value of the naira lower.
At the official window, the central bank auctioned $207.66 million at 155.74 naira to the U.S. dollar, compared with $290 million it sold at the same rate at Monday's auction.
Dealers expect the local currency to trade within a 157.80-158 naira range to the dollar this week unless fresh inflows from offshore funds participating at a local bond auction on Wednesday materialises to boost the naira.
Nigeria plans to sell 110 billion naira ($700 mln) in bonds ranging between five- and 20-year maturities at its fifth monthly debt auction of the year on Wednesday.

>A.Marc Rosenbaum of Energysmiths, a sustainable-design consulting firm in Meriden, N.H., responds: In the early 1990s, low-E glass optimized to let in visible light while excluding solar short-wave infrared energy pretty much took over the market. Rather than build different kinds of windows for different parts of the country, most major American window manufacturers — recognizing that most new construction was taking place in the warm climates of the Southeast and Southwest — adopted a one-size-fits-all approach to glazing. So although glass manufacturers continue to offer a variety of different types of glazing, most window manufacturers don't give you many options.
When you compare the performance numbers of three representative glazing products, you can see that the solar transmittance of so-called Northern low-E 178 glazing is about 55 percent greater than that of the commonly available 172 low-E glazing (also called low-E II), while its conductance (U-value) is a tad higher, as is its VLT (see chart, below).
Because it allows more of the sun's infrared energy to pass through, 178 glazing is definitely preferable in cold climates — except for cases involving large expanses of west-facing glazing or significantly overglazed southern facades.
An even more effective glazing for the south side of a passive solar building might be Pilkington Energy Advantage glazing, which is better at allowing the sun's heat and light in, though slightly worse in insulating value.
In fact, there is a great variety of glazing available that can be used to optimize the energy performance of homes. Different glazings can be used for different climates and facade orientations, allowing solar heat in where appropriate and excluding it elsewhere. But as you've pointed out, the greatest barrier is availability from the big manufacturers.
For that reason, recently I've been recommending pultruded fiberglass windows from Canadian manufacturers like Accurate Dorwin (888/982-4640, www.accuratedorwin.com) and Thermotech Windows (888/930-9445, www.thermotechwindows.com), as these manufacturers offer a wider choice of glazings and can accommodate triple glazing.
