The flow decline, or flow decay method, is used to determine the effective filtration area required to process an entire batch
of any volume in an acceptable time frame under a given delta (Δ) pressure. It is managed by a simple arithmetical proportioning.
A small filter with a known effective area is used to measure the volume of a drug preparation that can be processed at a
selected ?P (differential pressure), given the rate of flow and the throughput it produces. The ratio of the filtration area
to the sample volume is extrapolated to the filter area required to process an entire batch. The simplicity of the test ensures
its easy mastery; its performance demands only a modest technical background.
In a flow decline experiment, a small aliquot of the suspension is filtered through a small filter. The retained particulate
load accumulates on the filter pores, successively diminishing filter porosity and the flow rate. At a certain point, the
flow is judged to have ceased for all practical purposes; the effort and time that would be spent obtaining additional filtrate
beyond that point is not economically feasible.
in which X (m
) is the filter area required to process the batch.
The required filter area, thus calculated, can then be translated into the number and lengths of cartridges or other filtration
devices one wishes to use for the batch operation, by using additional equations. The area of a flat disc filter is:
A =π ÷4 × d
Thus, if the 47-mm disc yields a total throughput of 2,500 mL, then 2.5 L x 580 = 1,450 L (~383 gallons) will flow through
the cartridge before it shuts down. The rate of flow measured on the 47-mm disc then indicates the number of 10-inch cartridges
with an EFA of 6 ft2 that would be required to complete the batch filtration in a timely manner at the constant differential pressure, temperature
being kept constant.
From the foregoing, it should be self-evident that the accuracy of the arithmetical extrapolation is highly dependent on the
accuracy of the EFA attributed to the 47-mm disc. Nevertheless, it is in this very matter that many incorrect assumptions
are made.
In the classical application of the flow decline method, a 47-mm membrane is removed from its package and inserted into a
stainless steel holder, where it is held in position by the compressive action of an O-ring. The area of a 47-mm filter disc
is 17.4 cm2 . In the holder, however, the O-ring pre-empts a certain quantity of the disc's peripheral space by clamping down on the
filter disc to prevent edge-leakage. This reduces the filtration area available for filtration. Thus, the EFA of the inserted
47-mm disc is reduced to less than 17.4 cm2 .
The actual EFA of such an assembly was measured by filtering a staining solution of acridine yellow or Coomassie blue (Figure
2). The stained area identified the sealed area in the confines of the O-ring. As can be seen, the staining solution did not
extend beyond or under the O-ring. The stained area measured 41 mm in diameter, which has a total area of 13.2 cm2 . Thus, of the 7.4 cm2 area of the 47-mm disc filter, 4.2 cm2 were rendered unavailable for filtration by the O-ring's preemptive sealing action.

U.Va. literary journal covers new ground
New Literary History, a groundbreaking journal founded more than 30 years ago at the University, has achieved another first: translation into Chinese.
Posted 12/12/01
With annual volumes that will include about a quarter of the articles NLH carries a year, the publication will be the first English-language literary journal to be printed in Chinese. Published in collaboration with Tsinghua University Press of Beijing, it was distributed this summer to universities throughout China.
The journal's journey east began about five years ago when Wang Ning, a professor at Beijing University, invited Ralph Cohen, who founded the New Literary History in 1969 and remains its editor, to lecture. Wang knew him only through the journal and was the one who suggested the Chinese translation, said Cohen, who is Kenan Professor of English at U.Va. and an honorary professor at Beijing University.
NLH began, said Cohen, "in a period when literary study was almost all completely conducted either in terms of the individual text or in terms of some philosophical or ideological position." The journal concerned itself with raising questions about every type of literary analysis and inquiring into the grounds of any critical position.
"One of the great values of the journal as I started it was that it introduced into the United States critics from France, Germany, England and the Soviet Union," Cohen said. The journal's circulation and advisory board span the globe.
Launched with financial support from then-U.Va. President Edgar F. Shannon Jr., the journal had three years to establish itself or discontinue. "By three years it became the model for a number of journals," Cohen said.
It has been recognized by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals six times for special issues.
"The skeptical inquiry which this journal represents is what made it important to people of different cultural backgrounds," he said. "Its openness to intelligent inquiries of all types that pertain to writing is what makes the journal valuable."

Hellmuth Defeated by Juanda in WSOP Event 16
June 14, 2011 by lesley
Filed under Poker News
Phil Hellmuth has finished second in Event 16 of the World Series of Poker, having been pipped to the post by John Juanda in the event, which was the $10,000 Deuce-to-Seven Lowball Draw (No-Limit) Championship.
After his second place finish, Hellmuth tweeted "Strange thing, I finished in 2nd place & Won $270,000, but I feel c[o]mplet[e]ly awful + i am unconsolable…"
Juanda's victory marks his fifth WSOP bracelet. The highlight so far had been in 2008, when he won the WSOPE Main Event. Juanda surprised many with his performance this time around, when he began Day 3 in last place in chip count, and managed to claw his way back to not only make the final table, but to overcome a 3-1 chip deficit, and make it to the final two, then defeat Hellmuth in heads-up play.
Heads-up play went on for almost three hours. Juanda managed to catch Hellmuth early on, and hung in for a long while before finally defeating Hellmuth and taking away $367,000 and the bracelet.
The final standings for the event were:
1st: John Juanda ($367,170)
2nd: Phil Hellmuth ($226,907)
3rd: Richard Ashby ($143,833)
4th: Steve Sung ($97,416)
5th: Nick Schulman ($69,216)
6th: David Baker ($51,485)
7th: Hasan Habib ($40,020)

Audrina Patridge: Heidi Montag is a No-Talent Hackby Free Britney at . Comments
Now that she's officially leaving The Hills after this year, Audrina Patridge isn't afraid to leave with a parting shot at her co-star's budding "music career."
While promoting her new movie Sorority Row over the weekend, Audzo was asked about Heidi Montag's Miss Universe performance the previous Sunday.
She did not hold back, saying: "I feel like Heidi, you know, she's doing it for fun, where a lot of singers and people, they work their ass off, they actually have amazing voices and talent and they can really sing and perform."
"I feel like a lot of people don't get to experience what Heidi has, going on in front of a billion people and perform on TV. I just don't think she's taking it that serious, and that's kind of disappointing for me, for music lovers out there."
That about sums it up, we'd say.
Don't expect Audrina to buy any crappy Heidi Montag albums.
Aside from Heidi sucking (a sentiment also shared by Anderson Cooper), Audrina, 24, talked about her own foray away from reality TV in her new film:
"On the movie, I went to my acting coach twice a week and memorized all the lines," she says of appearing alongside Rumer Willis in the slasher flick Sorority Row. "On The Hills, you show up for an hour, say what you want, then leave."Truly, it is an adjustment to act for real instead of only 90 percent.
Of course, embracing the Hollywood lifestyle also means having to deal with some fairly outlandish rumors about herself. No small amount of rumors, either.
"[They say] that I was pregnant. Another one, that I got a nose job, that I got a chin job, cheek implants, I mean my whole face," she says of false gossip.
Note the lack of denial of rumors that she's gotten breast implants.
"Sometimes, when they stick a video camera in your face, they try to provoke you with questions that are just really ... sometimes I get like, 'What are you talking about?' But I'm very lighthearted and I try not to take things too serious."
Like grammar.
It helps that Audrina is dating mellow Australian BMX rider Corey Bohan.
"It's so refreshing to be around him because he's so just laid-back and stress-free all the time," she says, adding that he may be in her new reality show.
"My boyfriend may be in it. We don't start filming until the end of this year, but it's just about my life and every aspect. My family will be in it, my friends, going to auditions, the Hollywood life. It's not as glamorous as it looks."
the only thing they are good at is getting a boob job and pretending like their show is reality and not scripted bs
yes and audrina has that much talent as an actress? they both suck
When is.... HEIDI APPEARING ON AMERICAN IDOL? Ha!
Audrina is so real, its great to see a actress whom can be herself without worrying about every little word, coming out of her mouth, Kick that heidi to the curb Audrina shes bad news.
So much gosipp here, I LOVE IT......... As for the truth, maybe some people .HM better get out of the kitchen if you cant handle the heat. ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE HOLLYWOOD.
She's one to talk!! She got a movie role just handed to her on a plate basically!! Im 16 and my dream is to act! I live in the smallest place ever in Scotland!! How long do you think before I get a role in a film?!?!?!?! I wasn't even allowed to take drama at school!!! She shoudl count herself seriously lucky because loads of poeple have many more obstacles, she got it easy!!
I love Audrina.

Among the founders of Hartford commemorated on the "Founders' Monument" in the city's "Ancient Burying Ground" are two Andrewses, two Blisses, two Bronsons, two Butlers, two Goodwins, two Hales, two Hopkinses, two Marvins, two Pratts, two Richardses, two Ruscoes, two Smiths, two Spencers, two Steeles, two Stones, two Wakelees, and two Warners. Only four surnames are represented by three probably related settlers; these four are Clarke, Lord, Olmsted, and Stanley. I descend from two of the last (Stanleys) and as with Howlands, Lathrops, Dwights, and various other colonial families in my ancestry, I have been "collecting" notable Stanley descendants for many years.
The three "founder" Stanleys were the brothers Thomas and Timothy, and their nephew John (Jr.), this last the son of an elder John Stanley who died en route to the colonies. The descendants of Thomas and Timothy, of their nephew John (Jr.), and of John {Jr.}'s sister, Ruth (Stanley) Moore, were adequately but not authoritatively treated by Israel Perkins Warren in his 1887 work, The Stanley Families of America, as Descended from John, Timothy, and Thomas Stanley of Hartford, Ct., 1636. In 1926 Ernest Flagg, brother of Mrs. Charles Scribner, Jr. (wife of the New York publisher), son and nephew of painters Jared Bradley Flagg and George Whiting Flagg respectively, and a cousin of the Vanderbilts of "The Breakers" in Newport, published Genealogical Notes on the Founding of New England: My Ancestors' Part in that Undertaking, a volume reprinted by Genealogical Publishing Company in 1973, and by Clearfield in 1990. Ernest Flagg was descended from all three of the Stanleys on the monument, and on pp. 341-345 presented findings on the origins of the Hartford Stanleys which Mr. Mahler disproved. The newly-found Kentish Stanleys have no known connection to the Cheshire-derived earls of Derby.
In New England the Stanleys are primarily associated with Hartford, but Thomas died in Hadley, Mass. Descendants of John Stanley (Jr.) lived in Farmington and Norwalk. St. Johns are also associated with Norwalk, Cowleses with Farmington, and Porters with Hadley. Well-known Hartford families with whom the Stanleys soon intermarried include Hooker (grandsons of Rev. Thomas) and Pitkins (the family of the governor). Later Stanley descendants reflect the geographical and social gamut of many Connecticut and Connecticut Valley progenies. Descendants include some Boston Brahmins (with a few "flowers of New England"), both New York and Midwestern tycoon families, several presidents and educators associated with Yale, various political figures (including the wife of a recent British Foreign Secretary), and even a Texas pioneer, the wife of an English conductor, and several Hollywood actors or actresses, or their spouses.
In column #58 of this series I covered the Stanley descents of novelist Edith [Newbold Jones] Wharton, abolitionist John Brown of Harper's Ferry, naval secretary Gideon Welles, Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes (Ellen Antoinette Carter, wife of the presidential candidate and U.S. Chief Justice) and Mrs. Henry Gordon Selfridge (Rosalie Amelia Buckingham, wife of the founder of Selfridge's Department Store in London) (second list, #s 9-12, 44). In Notable Kin, Volume One (1998, NK1) and Notable Kin, Volume Two (1999, NK2), I treated Stanley lines of the two presidents Bush (1:117-19, 121); Connecticut "signer" William Williams (1:141); educator Emma (Hart) Willard (1:214); Union general Joseph Hooker (V) (1:221-22); aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright (2:37); inventors George Eastman and Lee deForest (2:42-44); Mrs. Augustus Chapman Allen (Charlotte Maria Baldwin) of Houston (2:102); Mrs. William Marsh Rice (Mrs. Julia Elizabeth Baldwin Brown), wife of the founder of Rice Institute, later University; the first Mrs. Howard Robards Hughes, Jr. (Ella Botts Rice), wife of the billionaire recluse (2:18, 99), Mrs. William Stamps Farish, Jr. (Libbie Randen Rice, wife of the president of Humble Oil Co., now Exxon, and Standard Oil of New Jersey) (2:3, 18, 99); gun manufacturer Samuel Colt (2:110); painter George Catlin (2:111); actor Humphrey [DeForest] Bogart (2:117); Mrs. Henry Fonda (second wife, Frances Ford Seymour), wife of the actor, mother of actor Peter and actress Jane Fonda [Vadim Hayden Turner] and grandmother of actress Bridget Fonda (2:118, 120); actor Anthony Perkins (2:118); and composer Cole Porter (2:126). In Ancestors of American Presidents, 1st ed. (1995), p. 52 (#137), 282, I outlined the Stanley descent of 22nd and 24th president [Stephen] Grover Cleveland, and in New England Ancestors 3 (2002), 5-6: 34-37, the Stanley line of William Sloane Coffin, Jr., the social activist, chaplain of Yale, and rector of Riverside Church (N.Y.C.) and Serena Alleyne Stanhope Armstrong-Jones, Viscountess Linley, daughter-in-law of Princess Margaret.

Just when you think you know someone…
Seattle police suspect Madison Lieberman's father was the serial killer they call the "Sandpoint Strangler." Madison refuses to believe it. Her father is now dead, and all she wants is the chance to create a new life for herself and her six-year-old child.
"Then she discovers something in the crawl space beneath her parents' house. Something that makes her question her father's innocence. Or the innocence of someone else who's equally close to her…
When another woman turns up dead, crime writer Caleb Trovato wonders whether they're dealing with a copy cat killer. Or is the real Sandpoint Strangler still alive? He's sure Madison knows more than she's telling, and he's determined to find out what. But he doesn't expect to fall in love – or to lead Madison and her child into danger.

Chapter One
"Caleb, she's gone. Disappeared. Vanished," Holly said.
Caleb Trovato could hear the distress in his ex-wife's voice, but he wasn't about to respond to it. Everything that happened seemed to affect her far more acutely than it would anyone else and, by virtue of the fact that they were divorced–for the second time–he didn't have to ride her emotional roller coaster anymore.
He propped the phone up with his shoulder and swiveled back to his computer to check his e-mail, so the next few minutes wouldn't be a total waste. "Your sister's what–twenty-six now? She'll turn up eventually."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Susan's disappeared before. Remember that time she was on her way back from visiting your parents and she met some guy on an hour's layover in Vegas and let him talk her into a wild fling? We were positive something terrible had happened to her. Especially when the airline confirmed that she'd boarded the flight out of Phoenix."
"That was different," Holly retorted. "She called me the next day."
"Only because Loverboy had started acting a little scary. She finally realized it might be a good thing to let someone know where she was. And she needed money to get home."
"That was almost five years ago, Caleb. She's been doing better. She has a steady job and has kept her own apartment for almost a year."
"Where's she working?"
"At the cosmetics counter at Nordstrom. I'm telling you, she's changed."
"Right. She's a shop-a-holic and she's working at her favorite department store. I doubt she's changed very much."
"How can you say that?"
The high pitch of Holly's voice brought back memories of the many outbursts he'd been forced to endure while they were married and put his teeth on edge. "Listen, Holly, I'm busy," he said, determined to escape this time. He didn't owe her anything. They'd been apart almost two years. "I've got to go."
"Caleb, don't do this to me," she said, openly crying now. "I haven't bothered you for anything since our last divorce."
Caleb rolled his eyes. Wasn't that the general idea? It wasn't as if they had children together. And contrary to her interpretation of not bothering him, she did call occasionally. She'd called to borrow money. She'd called to ask how to file her income tax returns. She'd called to see if he could remember what had happened to the X-rays they'd had taken of her back when she'd had that water skiing accident.
"I don't understand what you want from me," he said in frustration.
"I haven't been able to reach Susan for almost a week. Mom and Dad haven't heard from her. Lance, the guy she's dating, hasn't heard from her. She hasn't called in at work–"
"Shining off work is nothing new for Susan, either," he pointed out.
"Caleb, she was living near the university."
At this Caleb sat forward, feeling his first flicker of alarm. Fourteen women had been abducted, raped and killed near the University of Washington over the past twelve years. And Susan fit the killer's profile. Tall and slender, she was in her mid-twenties to mid-thirties and had sandy-blonde hair.
But Caleb was certain the man who'd committed those murders was dead. He should know. He'd spent months and months researching the case. "Holly, the Sandpoint Strangler shot himself in his own backyard over a year ago."
She sniffed. "If you know who the Sandpoint Strangler was, why didn't you ever finish the book you were going to write about him?"
"There was no hard evidence to connect Ellis Purcell to the killings," Caleb admitted. "But I met him, Holly. I talked to him a couple of times, and I'm telling you the guy was hiding something. And, believe me, there was plenty of circumstantial stuff pointing his way. The cops must have searched his place three different times."
"They never found anything."
"The murders have stopped since his death. That should tell you something."
"So what about Susan?" she asked with more than a hint of desperation.
She was playing him again, tempting him to bite off on the high drama. But it wasn't going to work this time. He no longer felt the same compulsion to rescue Holly that had drawn him to her in the first place. "I'm sorry about Susan," he said. "But I don't know what you want me to do."
"I want you to come out here and find her, Caleb."
Shoving his mouse away, Caleb turned in his new leather office chair to stare out the picture window that revealed a breathtaking view of San Francisco Bay. A panorama of blue-green, undulating ocean dotted with at least twenty colorful sailboats spread out before him. "I live in California, Holly." As if to prove how necessary it was that he remain in his new surroundings, he added, "I have someone coming to lay new carpet this week."
"This could mean Susan's life!" she cried.
Another over-the-top statement designed to manipulate him. "I write true crime novels. That doesn't make me a detective or an investigator. I don't know what you think I can do."
"I know what you can do," she said. "I married you twice, remember? It's almost uncanny how you turn up whatever you're looking for. It's a talent. You're…you're like one of those journalists who'll stop at nothing to uncover a story."
Caleb wasn't sure that was such a positive association, but he let it pass because she was still talking.
"You could come, if you wanted to. Lord knows you've got the money."
"Money isn't the issue," he replied.
"Then what is?"
His hard-won freedom. Caleb had had to leave the Seattle area to get far enough away from Holly. He wasn't about to head back now, even though his parents still lived on Fidalgo Island, where he'd grown up, and he loved the place. "I can't get away. I'm in the middle of another book."
She seemed to sense he wasn't going for the panicky stuff and made an effort to rein-in her emotions. "What is this one about?"
"A girl who murdered her step-father."
Another sniffle. "Sounds uplifting."
"It's a living." He felt his lips twist into a wry grin. "Somebody I know talked me out of continuing my education. I'm certainly not going to make any money with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology."
"You wouldn't have been happy as a shrink."
No, but maybe he could have done what all the counselors they'd visited hadn't been able to do–fix him, so he could tolerate Holly, or fix her, so she wouldn't be so tough to put up with. Then they wouldn't have ended both marriages. Maybe they'd even have a couple of kids…
"You should come back here and do some more work on the Sandpoint Strangler."
"Nice try, Holly, but no thanks."
"I know a book about him would really sell. Nobody's done one yet."
More bait. "Because there're still too many unanswered questions in the case to make for interesting reading. People like a definitive ending when they purchase a true crime book. They like logical sequences and answers. I can't give them that with the Sandpoint Strangler."
"Maybe you can, now. I read an article in the paper just the other day that said they believe that one woman who went missing in Spokane might have been one of the strangler's victims, too. There were a few differences in her case, but the article pointed out a few similarities, too."
Caleb had several friends on the Seattle force, sources he'd developed just after he married Holly and started his crime-writing career. If anything very exciting had developed, Detective Gibbons or Detective Thomas would have called him. He knew they'd like nothing better than to have him solve what had essentially become a cold case–so the department wouldn't look so bad for never reeling in the Sandpoint Strangler, and so they could officially clear it off their desks. Part of the appeal, of course, was that he didn't cost taxpayers a dime. He used his own time and resources to search and made his money on the back end.
Fortunately, that paycheck was usually worth the wait.
"I doubt there's enough new information to finish the book," he said.
"So you won't come?"
"Where does that leave me with Susan, Caleb?" she asked, her veneer of control cracking and finally giving way to a sob.
Caleb pinched the bridge of his nose. He didn't want to let Holly's tears sway him, but her distress and what she'd said were beginning to make him wonder. Susan had been his sister too, for a while. Though she'd been a real pain in the ass, always getting herself into one scrape or another, he still felt some residual affection for her.
"Have you called the police?" he asked.
"Of course. I'm frantic!"
He could tell. What he didn't know was whether or not her state of mind was warranted. "What'd they say?"
"Nothing. They're as stumped as I am. There was no forced entry, no sign of a struggle at her apartment, no missing jewelry or credit cards–at least, that we could tell–and no activity on her bank account. I don't think they have any leads. They don't even know where to look."
"What about her car?"
"It's gone, but I know she didn't just drive off into the sunset. We would have heard from her by now. Unless…"
"Stop imagining the worst," he said, trying to calm her. "There could be a lot of reasons for her disappearance. Maybe she met a rich college boy, and they're off cruising the Bahamas. It would be like her to show up tomorrow and say, 'Oh, you were worried? I didn't even think to call you.'" He rubbed the whiskers on his chin, trying to come up with another plausible explanation. "Or maybe she's gotten mixed up in drugs. She always was a pretty big par–"
"She left her dogs behind, Caleb," Holly interrupted. "She wouldn't leave for days without asking someone to feed them. Not for a trip to the Caribbean. Not for the world's best party. Not for anything."
Holly had a point there. Susan nearly worshipped her schnauzers, to the tune of paying a veterinarian six thousand dollars–money she didn't really have–for extensive surgery when one darted across the street and was hit by a truck.
Caleb rocked back and draped an arm over his eyes because he didn't want to face it, but this wasn't sounding good. Even if the Sandpoint Strangler was no longer on the prowl, something had happened to Susan. And the longer she was missing, the tougher it was going to be to find her.
"When was the last time you saw her?" he asked in resignation.
"Six days ago."
Six days… Caleb put his feet up and considered the book he was writing. It wasn't going very well, anyway, he decided. After piecing together the whole story, he was actually feeling more empathy for the girl who'd committed the crime than the abusive stepfather she'd finally poisoned.
"All right, I'll fly out first thing in the morning." He hung up and looked around his crisp, modern condo. "Shit. So much for putting some space between me and Holly."
Somehow she always managed to reel him back in…
Madison Lieberman stared at her father's photograph for a long time. He gazed back at her with fathomless dark eyes, his complexion as ruddy as a seaman's, his salt and pepper flattop as militarily precise as ever. He'd only been dead about a year but already he seemed like a stranger to her. Maybe it was because she wondered so often if she'd ever really known him…
"Madison? Did you find it?"
Her mother's voice, coming from upstairs, pulled her away from the photograph, but she couldn't help tossing it another glance as she hesitantly approached the small door that opened into the crawl space. She'd been raised in this home. The three-foot gap under the house provided additional storage for canned goods, emergency supplies, old baskets, arts and crafts and holiday decorations, among other things. But it was damp, dark and crowded–perfect for spiders, or rats. Which was one reason Madison generally avoided it. When she was a child, she'd also been afraid her father would come along and lock her in. Probably because he'd threatened to do so, once, when she was only four years old and he'd caught her digging through the Christmas presents her mother had hidden in there.
It wasn't the fear of spiders or rats, or even the fear of being locked in, that bothered her at twenty-eight. Ever since the police and the media had started following her father around, suspecting him of being involved in the terrible murders near the university only a few blocks away, she'd been terrified of what she might find if she ever really looked…
"Madison?" Her mother's voice filtered down to her again.
"Give me a minute," she called, annoyed, as she opened the small door. "It's a twenty-dollar punch bowl," she grumbled to herself, "Why can't she just let me buy her a new one?"
A musty scent, along with the smell of moist earth and rotting wood, greeted her as she flipped on the dangling bulb overhead and peered inside. Years ago, her father had covered the bare, uneven ground with black plastic and made a path of wooden boards that snaked through the clutter. These makeshift improvements reminded her that this was his domain, one of the places he'd never liked her to go…
Which didn't make the thought of snooping around any more appealing.
She considered telling her mother the punch bowl wasn't there. But ever since her father's suicide, her mother seemed to obsess over the smallest details. If Madison couldn't find it, she'd probably insist on looking herself, and Annette was getting too old to be crawling around on her hands and knees under a house. Besides, Madison and her mother had stood by Ellis Purcell throughout the investigation that had ended with his death. Certainly Madison could have a little faith in him now. The police had searched the house three different times over a four-year period just after the killings began and never found anything.
She wasn't going to find anything, either. Because her father was innocent. Of course.
Taking a deep, calming breath, she crawled inside, resisting the fresh wave of anxiety that seemed to press her back, toward the entrance. The punchbowl couldn't be far. It would only take a second.
A row of boxes lined the wall closest to her. Some were labeled, others weren't. Madison quickly opened those that weren't labeled to find some things her father had owned before he'd even married–old photo albums, school and college yearbooks, military stuff from his stint in Vietnam.
As she dug through the photos and letters, it all seemed so normal and far removed from the articles she'd read about Ellis in the newspaper that she finally began to relax. A lot of cobwebs dangled overhead, almost iridescent in the ethereal glow of that single bulb near the entrance, but the only spiders she saw were off in the corners. And nothing jumped out to grab her. She saw nothing to indicate that anyone had been beneath the house since her half-brother Johnny had come by to get some summer clothes out of storage two years ago.
Her father might have ended his life with one heck of a finale, but his death and the investigation, if not the suspicion, were behind them now, she told herself. She could quit being afraid of what she didn't know. She could move on and forget…
Shoving the memorabilia off to one side, she rummaged around some more and eventually came up with the punchbowl her mother wanted. She was about to drag it to the opening when she remembered the box of Barbies she'd packed up when she was twelve. They were probably down here, too, she realized. If she could find them, she could use them for her own daughter Brianna, who'd just turned six.
Following the curve in the wooden path toward the far end of the storage area, Madison came across some extra tiles from when they'd redone the bathroom, a dusty briefcase, an old ice cream maker, and some of her baby things. Near the edge of the plastic, where bare dirt stretched into complete darkness, she found a few boxes that had belonged to her half-brothers, along with the denim bedding her mother had bought when Johnny and Tye came to live with them.
As she pushed past Johnny's old stereo, she promised herself she'd write him again this week, even though he never returned her letters. He'd been in and out of prison for years, always on drug charges. But he had to be lonely. She didn't think Tye stayed in touch with him. Her mother, for the most part, pretended that he didn't exist. And he hated his own alcoholic mother who, last Madison had heard, was living somewhere in Pennsylvania in a halfway house.
She squinted in the dim light to make out the words on several boxes: "Mother Rayma's tablecloths… Mother Rayma's dishes… Aunt Zelma's paintings."
No Barbies. Disappointed, Madison rocked back into a sitting position to save her poor knees and hugged her legs to her chest, trying to think where that box might have gone. Brianna had had a difficult year, what with the divorce, their move to Whidbey Island, her father's remarriage, and the expectation of a half-sibling in the near future, all of which had happened very fast. Madison would have loved to have fifteen or more vintage Barbies waiting in her backseat when she collected her daughter from her ex-husband's.
Danny certainly lavished Brianna with enough toys…
Maybe she needed to dig deeper. She hated prolonging her visit to this uncomfortable claustrophobic place, but while she was already here…
Pushing several boxes out of the way, she slid the old mirror that had come out of the spare bedroom to the left, and the avocado bathroom accessories that had once decorated the upstairs bathroom to the right, to reach the stuff piled behind. She was pretty far from that single bulb at the entrance, which made it difficult to see, but she was eventually rewarded for her efforts when she recognized her own childish writing on a large box tucked into the corner.
"There it is!" she murmured, wriggling the box out from behind an old Crock Pot and some extra fabric that looked like it was from the sixties and better off forgotten. "You're gonna love me for this, Brianna."
"Madison, what could possibly be taking so long?"
Madison jumped at the unexpected sound, knocking her head on a beam. "Ow."
"Are you okay?" her mother asked. Annette stood at the mouth of the crawlspace, but Madison couldn't see her for all the junk between them.
"I'm fine." She batted away a few cobwebs to rub the sore spot on her forehead. "You can tell Mrs. Howell I found the punch bowl you said she could borrow."
"I use that punchbowl every Christmas. What's it doing all the way back there?"
"It wasn't back here. I've been looking for my old Barbies."
"Don't waste another minute with that," her mother said. "We gave them to Goodwill a long time ago."
"No, we didn't. They're right here."
"They are?"
"Sure." Madison pulled open the top flap of the box to prove it, and felt her heart suddenly slam against her chest. Her mother was right. There weren't any Barbies inside. Just a bunch of women's shoes and underwear, in various sizes. And a short coil of rope.

–Dawn Myers
Books at Forumsamerica.com
EVERY WAKING MOMENT will keep you turning the pages, hoping for the best, fearing the worst and appreciating the world of suspense and intrigue only Novak can create from scenarios that are all too possible.
Huntress Reviews
Author Brenda Novak has proven, once again, that she is one of the top suspense writers of our days. This one is a breathless romantic suspense novel that will keep her readers' attention from the first page until long after the last has been turned…An outstanding book that I highly recommend!
NYTimes Bestselling Author Catherine Coulter
"Get ready to cheer for Emma in this non-stop nail-biting adventure!"

All About Romance
"A page-turner… A darn good read…"
Publisher's Weekly
"Novak knows how to relate a suspenseful tale. When Emma isn't reeling from a near brush with Manuel, she's frantically trying to keep her son's blood sugar levels stable, and her almost palpable fear fuels this gripping tale."
Romance Reviews Today
A Perfect 10
EVERY WAKING MOMENT is the kind of romantic suspense that has no easy place to stop for minor things like sleeping or eating. From Nevada cross-country to Iowa, the emotional dynamic among the threesome in Preston's old van never lets up. Last year I gave Ms. Novak's COLD FEET a Perfect 10 for its inventive plot, deep characterization, and intelligent writing. This year I can do no less for EVERY WAKING MOMENT; it has all these and more.
Library Journal
"A brave but very human heroine and a grieving hero obsessed with vengeance manage to find both healing and love as they deal with the past–and the violent present–in this fast-paced romantic thriller. Exceptionally vivid descriptions and realistic but not overwhelming details of the day-to-day aspects of raising a child with diabetes adds depth to a story more complex than most."
Once Upon a Romance
Very easy to read. Ms. Novak kept the suspense up but still allowed the reader a few chances to "catch her breath." The drama unfolded through many facets of intrigue that made perfect sense. I look forward to future books from Brenda!
RT Book club
This story's strong, edge-of-your-seat suspense starts on the first page and doesn't let up until the end. Mothers in particular will understand the heroine's motivation and what she is willing to do to save her son. Novak's book is an extremely tense and emotional story with a satisfying conclusion.
Romance Junkies
A very emotional, fast-paced and intensely sensual read. This captivating tale left me breathless. EVERY WAKING MOMENT is another keeper from Ms. Novak.
Escape to Romance
Five Roses (out of five roses)
Review not yet posted (goes up July 1st)
Midwest Book Reviews
"Brenda Novak's gift lies in grabbing the reader mercilessly by the throat and not letting go until the very end…Fast-paced scenes filled with sparkling dialogue, romantic tension, and a series of pulse-racing plot twists bring the story to a heart-stopping climax. An exciting, compelling, entertaining read."
–Mayra Calvani
"Strongly defined characters, sizzling sexual tension, and a tautly constructed plot steeped in danger blend brilliantly together in Novak's exceptionally intense, powerfully emotional novel."
Coffee Time Romance
Ms. Novak has penned another taut and emotional thriller. Had she not already been a favored author of mine, she would be after this tale. I recommend it highly to all who love top quality romantic suspense.
Five Cups!!
–Alegria, Reviewer
Every Waking Moment is armchair aerobics. From the first page, author Brenda Novak sent my heart racing, and she didn't allow more than a moment's rest. The plot twists like yoga on speed. The characters are as tough, endearing and as well developed as personal trainers. I groaned and sweated right along with them. One piece of advice: Don't forget to breathe. Cooling-off periods are short and rare. If you like love action-packed romance, don't miss Every Waking Moment! It's a keeper that I'll read over and over.

Twice each year we prepare the Budget and Economic Forecast as required by Minnesota law. The November forecast is used to set the starting point for the budget, and is the basis for the Governor's recommendations. The February forecast incorporates additional data and is used by the Legislature and the Governor to set the enacted budget or to ensure that enacted budgets remain on track and in balance. Forecast information is also used by bond rating agencies and other financial analysts to review the state's financial health, and by the media who present information on the state's financial condition to the public.

Read Complete Document
A stronger U.S economic outlook is mirrored in Minnesota's economic and budget forecast. Positive year-to-date revenue collections combined with ongoing improvement in Minnesota's economy contribute to higher projected revenues for the remaining 16 months of the current biennium.
Forecast revenues are up $366 million compared to previous estimates, largely due to projected increases in income and sales tax collections. Forecast spending is down $48 million due in part to savings in K-12 education aids and property tax refund programs. After transferring $6 million to the stadium reserve, these changes leave a projected $1.233 billion balance for the current biennium.
