Hey all,
I'm curious as to what actually happens when you boil your wort. The reason I ask is because I have a large fermentor relative to my pot size, so I'm wondering if I can reduce the volume i'm boiling and make the same amount of beer. Or another way to put it, boil the same volume, but make more beer.
Right now, I do all grain and boil the full volume. Are there benefits to this method? Could I just boil a more concentrated liquor from my mash, and add that to preboiled/sterilized water in the fermenter?
Secondly, I now boil for 1 hour, but the only reason I know for doing it this long is because your bittering hop is supposed to be boiled for an hour. So if thats the only reason, could you boil your hops in a smaller volume of wort in a small side pot, then add it later? I realize you still want to boil your wort from the mash to sterilize it, but that could be done by boiling for 10 min or so, couldn't it?
As I write the above, another question comes to mind: I'm repeating a previous recipe for a pale ale, but I found it more bitter than I'd like. I'm planning on reducing the bittering hop I add, but what if I added the full amount with 45 min left to boil? how might that change the taste? And does this mean I can reduce my boil to 45 min?
For those that think I should just reduce the bittering hop amount, how much would be a good amount? Half?
(If it makes a difference, the hop additions are 3/4oz Northern Brewer (9%aa) for 60 min, 3/4oz Cascade (7%aa) for 30 min, 3/4oz Cascade (7%aa) for 15 min)
All input and opinions appreciated...
Hop utilization and boil volumes are not linear. The best advice I can give with so little space and time to type , is to get the book by Ray Daniels "Designing Great Beers". He has an excellant chapter on Hop utilization and some tables that you could use to determine your volumes and IBU's. It's funny how hop utilization differs when the gravity of wort is over 1.050. Boil times are critical for iso-alpha acid formation. Best I will give ...
buy the book. It will answer all your posted questions.
On page 64 of Randy Mosher's "Radical Brewing", there's a graph of hop utilization rates by boiling time and wort original gravity. A more experience brewer than myself could answer all of your questions using that graph it think.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like my library has the two books so I'll be checking them out soon.
But from your responses, am I right in assuming that the only point of boiling wort is hop utilization (and i guess sterilization of the wort)?
Up next - Hoegarden clone, then maybe a Corona clone
Primary - Nothing
Secondary - Nothing
Secondary - Nothing, man I should really brew something...

Boiling is not only for Hop utilization but also the coagulation of proteins.
This is part of the gunk left in the bottom of your kettle. 60 minutes is typical for hop utilization but 90 minute boils are recomended for better coagulation of grain proteins. You can do what your asking. The book Beer Captured has mini-mash recipes where they do just what you are suggesting. I do not think you can reduce the boil times though. You can reduce the volumes (increase wort concentration) and add additional water.
Hmmm.... can't seem to find that book anywhere... you sure thats what its called, Sudster?
Sorry , "Beer Captured" byTess and Mark Szamatulski.
From man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world. -- Saint Arnoldus
Keep in mind that it's all just basic chemistry when it comes to the ingredients, but when it comes to the boil, that's when the magic starts. Try not to mess around with the magic. It is that way simply because it is.

In a mouse model, the researchers found that the new technique significantly decreased the size of breast cancer tumors compared to treatment that used Dox without the nanoscale liposomes.
"This work is somewhat similar to previous research we've done with polymer-based nanogels but there is a key difference," says Dr. Zhen Gu, senior author of the paper and an assistant professor in the joint biomedical engineering program. "The difference is that this liposome-based technique allows us to introduce additional ATP into the cancer cell, releasing the drug more quickly.
"Being able to adjust ATP levels is important because some cancer cells are ATP deficient," Gu adds. "But this technique would work even in those environments."

ITV Drama Executives Behind 'Downton Abbey' to Launch Production Firm
LONDON -- Two top drama executives at U.K. TV networks company ITV, who brought hit show Downton Abbey to its flagship channel, will leave the company midyear to launch their own production firm.
Laura Mackie, ITV's director of drama, and Sally Haynes, controller of drama commissioning, will depart at the end of June.
Under the pair's leadership, ITV has seen success with a range of dramas, including recently launched Mr Selfridge, starring Jeremy Piven.
ITV's head of drama serials, Steve November, will take over as acting director of drama until a permanent successor is named.
"Sally and I have loved our seven years at ITV and are incredibly proud of the dramas that we've commissioned," former BBC executive Mackie said.
Said Peter Fincham, ITV director of television: "Laura and Sally have had a tremendous run at ITV, and their legacy is an incredibly strong drama slate for 2013 and beyond. We're going to miss them, but we wish them all the very best for their exciting new venture and look forward to working with them again."

The Lobos Lodge is in a great location in the heart of Carmel. There are many restaurants, shops and places to explore within walking distance. The beach is a quick walk as well! Our room was clean and spacious, and included breakfast in the morning. Breakfast consisted of delicious pastries, juice and fruit that is delivered right to your room. We were able to walk to dinner both nights of our stay and walk around town. The only complaints about Lobos Lodge was that the walls are very thin, we could hear the couple staying above us walking and talking. I would stay here again but request a top floor room! We highly recommend dining at Dametra Cafe which is across the street from Lobos Lodge. Make sure to make a reservation as without one you will have a long wait. Overall the Lobos Lodge was a great place to stay in Carmel.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

The Sims 4 - First Look Gameplay Trailer
New Emotion. New Tools. New Sims. Take your first look into the gameplay of The Sims 4 in this trailer revealed at Gamescom 2013.
I'm still excited about it. With all the new ones there will be things I'll miss. For instance I didn't see any cars or driving going on :-/
I loved it! Can't wait for it :)
Looks good
Well done.
Pretty interesting~
The only thing i hate about The Sims is EA with their overpriced expansion packs. The Sims 3 base game gets boring quickly. Why cant they add seasons and pets in the base game? Is it really that hard? No. They just want money
And to be honest, who gives a shit about all these new emotions stuff? All i want is my Sims to move from room to room without getting stuck in random shit, or saying they cant walk just because they cant make a slight turn to the right. I want the movement and animation between Sims to be more fluid and responsive. Oh, and EA. Fix this fucking stutter that Sims 3 has every 10 seconds. The game is almost unplayable. And whats worst is that this problem has been present ever since the game came out and EA knows about this, and they never did anything about it.
So, to sum it all up. EA is greedy as shit and doesnt give a fuck about the fans or anyone to be honest.
SimCity brought me here.
Do they know where in 2013 ? Graphic wise this looks old..like directX 9.
I picked up the latest Humble Bundle and the Sims 3 was part of it. I had never played a Sims game before, but I must admit it like it. So I'm curious what the next installment will bring.
looks bad but we'll see.
I mostly got into sims for house building and drowning my sim in the pool not for living another life outside my own(how depressing)
Why do they still look cartoonish? We're in 2013 people!
I guess I don't see a whole lot of difference. Sure, the character models are a little more detailed but I'd expect something more advanced after 4 years. Maybe I just haven't seen enough yet. The Sims 3 it extremely poorly optimized so maybe they couldn't figure out how to do better without a super-computer.
Character models look about the same from part 3, but the improved creation tools look great..
i used playing sims# when i have a bad mood of a certain failing moments of killing a hard boss in action/ RPG games ..sims fun for 1 or 2 hours and then grows BORING sorry but this is the ugly truth
Have you EA guys ever thought of moving away from the boring North American Sub-urban life? And I'm not talking about a vacation here.
creation tools look good, but graphics looks old and teribble. also those emotions look weird, all sims acting like dumb children, why there is no some serious sims!! and more importantly developers should improve sims's AI.
I would have prefer more realistic look.
Holy Sh*t, rockets?
They take creativity to a whole new level this time. And new system and the graphics are cool. Just... please make a VACATION sytem. SEPARATE THEM WITH ADVENTURE. Sims 3 never had a Vacation pack (Island Paradise is about resort anyway)
I really like the changes they made for the character and house creation (which is really the only reason I play these games for the short period that I do)
This is going to be better than the other Sims games...
Milking time againg and again
I'm diggin it.. nice trailer!
Waaahhh ?
@MikeMarquez Yes they could add thos to the base game and along with them they should add university too.
@grosgrostas I think the graphics are fine, they keep to the sims franchise and they can be run by older pc versions.
@AggrandizedUser Hahahaha I almost fell on the floor that was so funny.

Miami U. Raises Tuition; Prohibits Smoking in Cars on Campus
OXFORD -- Miami University trustees on Friday voted to raise the tuition 1.5 percent, or $199, for the 2013-2014 school year for undergraduates at the Oxford campus. In-state students will pay $13,266 for tuition; out-of-state students will pay $29,056, also a 1.5 percent increase.
The state legislature had approved increases of up to 2 percent but, through efficiencies achieved on campus and an ideal to keep tuition affordable, the university aimed for a more modest increase.
Trustees also passed an operating budget for fiscal year 2013-2014 of $667,455,287. The budget includes aggregate merit and salary improvement increases for faculty and staff. David Creamer, vice president for business and finance services, reported that Miami spent slightly less on health care in the fiscal year ending June 30.
The university also made big changes to its tobacco policy. On recommendation of the Ohio Board of Regents, Miami trustees strengthened the university's smoke-free policy to make it a tobacco-free policy, beginning July 1. One exception to the existing policy, allowing employees to smoke in their personal cars on university property, will be discontinued as of Jan. 1, 2014.

In researching this topic, I found it difficult to pin down generic roots for these toxic emotions except for our well-documented tendency to compare ourselves to others and its connection to low self-esteem. Whoever coined the phrase "to compare is to despair" should receive the brilliant common sense award.
And then it hit me.
There are no generic roots of envy or jealousy just as there are no generic roots of anger, sadness or any other negative emotions we'd rather not feel. They developed out of our particular story and to understand and resolve them, we have to look inward. By relentlessly pursuing them, we can extract information that will help us improve our lives. The first and most important step is to accept how you feel.

The Hearst Newspapers are commemorating the anniversary of the death of William Randolph Hearst. He penned this poem, and reprinting it is our traditional way of remembering our founder, who died Aug. 14, 1951.
The snow melts on the mountain
And the water runs down to the spring,
And the spring in a turbulent fountain,
With a song of youth to sing,
Runs down to the riotous river,
And the river flows to the sea,
And the water again
Goes back in rain
To the hills where it used to be.
And I wonder if life's deep mystery
Isn't much like the rain and the snow
Returning through all eternity
To the places it used to know.
For life was born on the lofty heights
And flows in a laughing stream,
To the river below
Whose onward flow
Ends in a peaceful dream.
And so at last,
When our life has passed
And the river has run its course,
It again goes back,
O'er the selfsame track,
To the mountain which was its source.
So why prize life
Or why fear death,
Or dread what is to be?
The river ran
Its allotted span
Till it reached the silent sea.
Then the water harked back
To the mountain-top
To begin its course once more.
So we shall run
The course begun
Till we reach the silent shore.
Then revisit earth
In a pure rebirth
From the heart of the virgin snow.
So don't ask why
We live or die,
Or whither, or when we go,
Or wonder about the mysteries
That only God may know.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Microsoft, Video Games
If you are interested in being one of the very first to own the Xbox One this November, you'll be happy to know that you can pre-order the Xbox One right now. In fact, if you pre-order your Xbox One now, you'll get a special Day One Edition console. The system functionality itself won't be any different, however, you'll get a custom controller (pictured above) along with a special Xbox Live achievement that lets others know that you were there on day one. Additionally, Microsoft will also be selling a Day One Edition Xbox Live Gold 12-month pass that includes an exclusive Killer Instinct character. Pretty cool.
Ready to pre-order? Here are the links:
As we reported earlier, you can also pre-order the PlayStation 4 right now as well.
Apple announces iWork for iCloud with Office document support
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Internet, Microsoft, Software
During yesterday's WWDC 2013 keynote, Apple's Roger Rosner took the stage to show off iWork for iCloud, a new feature coming to iCloud later this fall. The new cloud productivity suite, now available to Apple developers in beta, allows users to create and edit Numbers, Keynote, and Pages documents right in the web browser, regardless of browser or operating system. This gives Windows users the ability to create and edit iWork documents for the first time.
During the demo, it was revealed that the iWork for iCloud suite will be feature-rich, allowing users to drag-and-drop images right into the app, and use multitouch gestures to manipulate media. Additionally, iWork for iCloud allows users to add and edit Microsoft Office documents for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This makes it easy for users of multiple platforms to work with documents without missing out on essential features.

Xbox One storage is expandable with external hard drives
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Storage, Video Games
The Xbox One will ship with a 500GB internal hard drive, and we've found out that the drive is "locked" inside the console. In other words, unlike the Xbox 360, users are not able to swap out the Xbox One hard drive for a larger unit. What happens if you run out of space, then? After all, the Xbox One will install every game to the hard drive, and the games are definitely going to be bigger now that they'll be on Blu-ray.
Luckily, the solution is easy. Microsoft included USB 3.0 on the Xbox One, and says that you can connect an external hard drive to the console, and it can be used for everything that the internal hard drive can be used for. So go ahead and grab an external terabyte or two and load up--adding extra storage is as simple as plugging it in.
Sign up for Xbox One pre-order notification, save $10 on console
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Video Games
Now that Microsoft has shown off the new Xbox One, many are wondering when they'll be able to get their hands on it, and at what cost. All the company was willing to tell us was that it will be available for purchase later this year. Don't worry, though, the company also has a pre-order notification list going right now through the Microsoft Store. Simple sign up with your email address, and you will be notified when pre-orders are going to be open. Even better? You'll also get a $10 online store credit just for signing up, as well.

Microsoft execs discuss Xbox One [Video]

Earlier this morning Microsoft revealed the Xbox One, the follow-up to its 8-year-old Xbox 360.

The Xbox One controller features 40 new improvements
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Hardware, Microsoft, Xbox One
Aside from revealing the Xbox One, Microsoft has also updated Xbox 360 controller for the new Xbox One, bringing over 40 optimizations to the input device. Features mentioned include dynamic impulse triggers that support feedback, and a new D-pad design that, we bet, will do away with many of the complaints. The controller is also recognized by Kinect, with the example given that you might lift your controller, and in-game, you'd be raising a shield.
Check out the Microsoft Xbox One reveal video.
Microsoft announces the Xbox One
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Microsoft, Video Games
At today's #XboxReveal event, Microsoft announced the Xbox One. Don Mattrick took the stage and said that Xbox One is a truly "all-in-one" box that is "simple, instant, and complete." From the looks of the device, it sports a dual-toned black color scheme with a slot-loading (goodbye, tray!) Blu-ray drive. We also get the standard Xbox power button with the ring of light surrounding it.
When looking at the Xbox One hardware, it looks akin to an older set-top box. It's pretty wide and pretty tall, likely because of all the high-end guts on the inside. Speaking of specs, the Xbox One has 8GB RAM (up from 512MB in the Xbox 360,) an octo-core processor, and ships with a 500GB hard drive. A Blu-ray drive is included as mentioned, along with USB 3.0 and 802.11n Wi-Fi (no 802.11ac for a console that will likely be around for 5-8 years?)

BigJosh's forum posts
Great review. I've only listened to a few tracks myself, but I'm loving Last Night On Earth. Resembles an old school Beatles-esque ballad.
I think they were very influential. Red and Blue will go down as one of the greatest, if only bc of what they started. But I don't think you can compare them to games like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6. Of course these games had a very different focus, but if you're going to compare rpgs.....
I didn't have a problem. It took around 22 hours using a taxi without skipping any cut scenes or side missions.
360 = points. Nuff said

Mary Manning was the daughter of Allen Manning and Nancy (Hudson) Bishop. She was born in 1844 in either Cherokee or Paulding Co. GA. She married Thomas Cohran on November 30, 1859 in Paulding Co. GA. Did they have any children? Would like to hear from any descendants of Mary Mannning and Thomas Cohran. They are listed in the household of Allen Manning and his wife Nancy in the 1860 census for Paulding Co. GA. Will be glad to share what family information I have. Charlotte G. Boykin

The Associated Press
New Mexico regulators have a tough decision to make, and no matter what they decide, not everyone is going to be happy.
The Public Regulation Commission has to decide whether to approve a proposal by Public Service Company of New Mexico that would mean higher rates for its 500,000 residential and business customers.
The utility is scheduled to present its case during a public hearing that starts Monday in Santa Fe.
The Associated Press
SILVER CITY — Evacuations were lifted Wednesday for the tiny southwest New Mexico community of Gila Hot Springs, although a fire burning for nearly two weeks in and near the rugged Gila Wilderness has grown to more than 95 square miles.
The human-caused blaze, which broke out April 28, moved past the Gila Cliff Dwellings without damaging the ancient American Indian ruins, fire information officer Eric Neitzel said.
SANTA FE — New Mexico officials have issued a smoke advisory for areas of the state affected by smoke from multiple wildfires in New Mexico, Arizona and Mexico.
The state Environment and Health departments say that based on the current extreme drought conditions, it's possible smoke in the region could persist until the monsoon season.
The state Air Quality Bureau has monitoring equipment at numerous locations to gather information about air quality conditions.
In 1911
Tuesday, May 16 — The territorial grand jury this morning brought the first true bill drawn by that body since it was empanelled yesterday afternoon. The bill accuses Luis Hermosillo of burglary with intent to commit a felony. Several weeks ago Hermosillo went to the home of J.M. Martinez on Railroad Avenue. He asked for something to eat, which was given him by Mrs. Martinez. Later Mrs. Martinez discovered Hermosillo in the house, the man having entered through a window.
Bird celebration this Sunday

All seats will be available on a first come first serve basis. For more information call Linda Kelly at 454-9452 or Jan Arrott at 454-6115.

A story in Wednesday's Optic on the Jay Quintana case misidentified Quintana's defense attorney. He is represented by Thomas M. Clark, and the motion's filed on behalf of Quintana were filed by Clark.
MORA — La Jicarita Telephone Cooperative in northern New Mexico's Mora County is receiving more than $11.8 million in grants and loans to upgrade its broadband delivery system.
The funding through Rural Development's broadband loan program will provide fiber optic service to people in very rural areas who have limited broadband service, or none at all.
Rural development says the fiber optics will replace old and deteriorating copper telephone lines.
ALBUQUERQUE — U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman says the National Park Service is the agency best suited to handle long-term management of the Valles Caldera National Preserve in northern New Mexico.
The New Mexico Democrat made the comment Wednesday after a committee hearing on legislation that directs the agency to take over management of the preserve in a way that protects the area's natural and cultural resources.
Bingaman and fellow New Mexico Democrat Tom Udall introduced the legislation.

Israel is expected to become a gas exporter by the end of the decade and the companies developing its offshore Leviathan field with an estimated 17Tcf of gas are about to pick a fourth partner to gain crucial know-how. Woodside Petroleum seeks a stake of as much as 30%, and Gazprom may be another contender; Noble Energy and Delek already hold large stakes.

By: Jeff Parker (Writer), Neil Edwards, Terry Pallot (Artists), Chris Sotomayor (Colorist)
The Story: The Dark Avengers are trying to convince Daredevil and his gang of their intentions as Reed Richards tries to understand what is wrong with the world along with Skaar.
The Review: This is hard to admit, but I am beginning to wonder just how Jeff Parker can even conclude this whole thing in a satisfying way in just under two issues. What started as a big world building exercise seems to have become just this, only with a title that does not seem particularly fitting.
Indeed, is it just me or are the Dark Avengers kind of boring in this series? For a very long period of time, they did close to nothing, then as soon as they went on as a semi-formed team, they got their ass handed to them by a team of freedom fighter composed of Misty Knight, Iron Fist, Shang-Chi and a more monstrous Spider-Man. They are not particularly explored as characters, nor do their actions scenes are particularly interesting to watch.
What's much more interesting is the actual world that Jeff Parker created, with familiar characters twisted into sinister or darker version of themselves. This world's Thing, Iron Man, Hank Pym and Doctor Strange are actually much more developed than the Dark Avengers themselves. It helps that they got more screen time since the beginning of the arc, a fact that does not help the book at all. If this was a book like Exiles, it would make quite a lot of sense for Parker to focus much more on this world than the regular cast, yet the title of this book is Dark Avengers. To see close to nothing having been influenced by the team so far is a little bit disheartening.
Even though the titular team was not the focus of the book, the plot still advanced quite a bit. We have some teases on one side to just what might be wrong with this world as one of the agents that had been presented in the backgrounds is captured by the Thing and Skaar. We also have a team-up of Daredevil's gang with the Dark Avengers as they aim to bring down the Sorcerer Supreme. Meanwhile, we have Ragnarok who just came back to his senses. All of this is exactly what happens here as Jeff Parker moves his pieces toward the big finale. At this point, I have to admit that I find it hard to believe that the explanation for this world and the role the Dark Avengers will play in it will actually be satisfying.
What was quite satisfying, though, was Neil Edwards art in this. He can still draw great monstrous beings, machinery and action. Some of his backgrounds are a little bit simple and some of his facial expressions are a little bit wonky, but most of what we see here is pretty solid thanks to his work. Some praise should also be given to Chris Sotomayor, who manages to make the colors look energetic enough, with a good choice of palette. The way he makes the energy radiates on the pages is also particularly well done.
The Conclusion: While this title clearly had some potential, it seems now to just move along as the book focuses a lot more on the world than on the actual titular team. With everything moving into pieces, it is clear Jeff Parker is getting ready for the conclusion, whether it will be big or not.
Grade: C

I agree that Parker isn't doing the characters justice, though it isn't entirely his fault. I think that the constraints of fitting what could have been a pretty epic story into a hard deadline has really hurt the flow. If Parker had two or three more issues to work with, I think this arc really could have been something great. As Hugo stated, the artwork is decent, the premise of the story itself, and the alternate reality seemingly manufactured by A.I.M, is very interesting. In order to explain this other world and tell the story before the book is cancelled, Parker had to cut corners somewhere, and it's obvious that character development is where those cuts were made.
The story angle involving U.S. Agent waking up with his limbs once again intact and back in action could have made for some great character exploration, but the space to tell that story is taken up by explaining the world that the Dark Avengers find themselves in. You can feel this story being rushed as you read it. It's really too bad, because even as is, I find the book interesting enough to follow it until the end, but this story could have been so much more if it just had more time to be properly developed.
It's a shame, really, for a lot of these characters could have benefited from the kind of character work Jeff Parker is known for. He's the guy that made me love the Red Hulk and the cast of Thunderbolts, after all. There were seeds of development for Ragnarok and Trickshot here and there, but some of the other characters got the shaft, like U.S.Agent.
I'll follow the book until its demise, of course, both as respect for Jeff Parker and the whole team, but also because it is nearly over. It would be a shame not to see the conclusion to all of this.
I totally agree Hugo. I think that Parker really wanted to tell this story despite knowing he may not get to tell it the way he wanted. The result is a good story arc that could have been great if Parker had the time to better flesh out the characters.
I really enjoy books like T-Bolts and the Dark Avengers, because it gives a stage for the characters that will always be underdogs. Whether it's "knock-off" characters like John Walker, or villainous counterparts like Toxie-Doxie and Trickshot, there's plenty of opportunity for books like these to explore these characters and take them in different directions. You can do things with these kinds of characters that you just can't do with their "A-List" superiors. I just wish we'd gotten more of this exploration from Parker on this arc. Here's hoping that whichever characters (if any) survive this final storyline are picked up in another book.
Great review by the way, very thorough.
This just continues to wander in the wilderness. The Underbolts had far more personality in far fewer issues. Won't miss them.

Historical records matching George H. Noonan, US Congress
About George Henry Noonan
George Henry Noonan (August 20, 1828 - August 17, 1907) was a U.S. Representative from Texas who was born in Newark, New Jersey. He was the first Republican congressman from Texas to be elected after the end of Reconstruction. Prior to his election in 1894, he had served as an elected state judge since 1862. Early life and education
Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1828, Noonan received a liberal education. He studied law and was admitted to the bar. He started to practice law. Career
At the age of 24, Noonan migrated west, moving to Texas in 1852. He settled in Castroville in Medina County. He set up a private practice and became politically active.
Noonan was elected as judge of the eighteenth judicial district of Texas in 1862 and served until 1894, when he resigned. He lived in San Antonio.
Noonan was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-fourth Congress (March 4, 1895-March 3, 1897), the first to be elected to federal office in Texas since the end of Reconstruction. Among Noonan's backers was George B. Jackson, an African-American businessman called the "wealthiest black in Texas" in the second half of the 19th century. Jackson was among the founders of the Republican Party in Tom Green County in the 1890s.[1]
Noonan was defeated in his campaign for reelection in 1896 to the Fifty-fifth Congress. He resumed the practice of law in San Antonio and died there on August 17, 1907. He is interred at St. Mary's Cemetery in the city.

The luminescence properties of Eu2+ doped Na2CaMg(PO4)2 phosphor
ABSTRACT The blue-emitting phosphors of Eu2+-doped Na2CaMg(PO4)2 were prepared by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The crystal phase formation was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction
measurement. The luminescence properties were investigated by photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra. The phosphor
exhibited the blue luminescence due to the 4f65d1→4f7 transition of Eu2+ ions under the excitation of near UV light. The influence of temperature on the luminescence intensities and decay lifetimes
of Eu2+ was investigated. An unusual increase of the decay lifetimes of the 4f65d emission of Eu2+ ion is observed in Na2CaMg(PO4)2 from 10 K to room temperature. The thermal stability of the luminescence of Eu2+-doped Na2CaMg(PO4)2 was discussed.

ABSTRACT: New measurements of the Zeeman effect and of the flourescent lifetime as a function of temperature of Eu2+ in CaF2 are reported. Estimates of the theoretical parameters are made, and it is shown that neither these estimated values nor the magnetic splitting support those simplified models, used to explain the Faraday rotation, that neglect either the crystal field or the Coulomb interaction between the 5d and the (4f)6 electrons. Evidence is given that the relative intensity of the Zeeman components in emission is dominated by "spin-memory" effects rather than by thermalization between the Zeeman levels of the excited state.Physical Review - PHYS REV X. 01/1968; 171(2):336-342.

ABSTRACT: Fluorescence lifetimes of Eu2+ doped in CaF2 are measured at various temperatures between 4 and 450 K. The lifetime increases between 100 and 320 K, in contrast to the usual lifetime–temperature dependence. At higher or lower temperatures, the lifetime decreases with increasing temperature. This phenomenon is explained by simulation of the energy levels and lifetimes of low-lying 4f65d states involved in the fluorescence.ChemInform 06/2005;

ABSTRACT: fd-excitation, absorption, reflection, and df-emission spectra presented in the literature on Eu2+ in inorganic compounds have been gathered and re-analyzed. Emission wavelength, width of the emission band, absorption wavelength, Stokes shift, and redshift pertaining to Eu2+ in more than 300 different compounds (fluorides, chlorides, bromide, iodides, oxides, sulfides, selenides, and nitrides) are presented. From the data, it is possible to predict for each of the 13 lanthanide ions (La2+, Ce2+, Pr2+, until Yb2+), doped in any of the compounds compiled, the energy of the transition from the 4fn ground state to the first 4fn−15d level and also the energy of df-emission. A brief overview on the relationships between redshift, Stokes shift, and the width of the emission with the type of compound is given.Journal of Luminescence - J LUMINESC. 01/2003; 104(4):239-260.

The first time I stayed at the Banff Centre was in 1999. I was attending a conference, and every attendees liked it so much that the annual North America conference came back in 2004 and this year 2013. The Centre is a beautiful campus with several buildings on a hill, and the view of the mountains is simply majestic. It is 10 minutes walk to downtown Banff. The Centre is really a school ("incubator") of arts and music (short-term workshops), so the accommodation is like an upscale and comfortable dormitory with own bathroom but dated furniture and TV (hence 4, not 5, stars). The room is spacious, however. I stayed in Lloyd Hall, which is slightly cheaper than the Professional Development Center. The rate is comparable to that of the Best Western in Banff. The Centre offers complimentary access to a large and up-to-date fitness center and swimming pool. I like the fact that the housekeeping does not change towels every day, unlike some hotels I stayed where towels were changed everyday even though the hotel had a "green" policy. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, and I'll come back again.

Canada manufacturing PMI posts first decline in 6 months
* PMI falls to 53.05 in July from 54.85 in June
* Index declines for first time since Jan
* Pace of new export order growth falls sharply
* Slowing global growth hurts demand
* Input prices reading lowest in survey's 22-mth history
By Jon Cook
TORONTO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Canadian manufacturing growth slowed sharply in July, with output and new order gains well down from June, as deteriorating global economic conditions cooled factory activity in Canada.
The RBC Canadian Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, released on Wednesday, slipped to 53.05 in July from 54.85 a month earlier. It was the index's first decline in six months and weakest reading since hitting 52.43 in March.
The manufacturing gauge, however, remained above the 50-point mark that separates expansion from contraction.
"Canada's manufacturing sector continued to grow in July, albeit at a slower pace, suggesting global growth worries are weighing on the economy," Craig Wright, chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada, said in a statement.
The RBC report comes on the heels of Statistics Canada data on Tuesday that showed Canada's economy grew by a less-than-expected 0.1 percent in May from April, hurt by unexpected weakness in the manufacturing sector.
Demand for Canadian exports has been hurt by slowing growth in the United States - its largest trading partner - as well as China and Europe.
The RBC PMI data revealed both output and new orders among manufacturers significantly lagged June totals, slipping to their lowest levels in four months. Slumping demand from abroad was a key contributor, with the index of new export orders falling more than four points.
European debt turmoil and a choppy U.S. recovery have forced the Bank of Canada to keep its main policy rate at 1 percent for nearly two years now.
Canadian manufacturers also suffered from a surging Canadian dollar in July, which climbed within striking distance of parity versus the U.S. currency after hitting a 2012 low in June.
The RBC report showed manufacturing employment in Canada increased for the sixth successive month in July. However the jobs component of the broader index slipped to 54.1 from 54.62 in June -- showing hiring growth slowed.
Input prices also fell in July for the first time since the survey began in October 2010, as respondents reported lower prices for raw materials. Meanwhile, output charges rose for the fourth consecutive month.

A sex offender has been jailed for three years for "effectively abducting" and abusing an 11-year-old girl as she screamed for help.
Related: Rewards for pair who helped convict Black
Daniel Black had denied driving the girl to the Solway in the middle of the night, climbing on top of her and subjecting her to a terrifying sexual assault last November.
After less than five hours deliberation, a jury at Carlisle Crown Court unanimously found him guilty.
The previous day they had already convicted him of one count of perverting the course of justice.
During the trial the court had heard evidence from his victim, in which she told how Black had driven her out in the middle of the night, under the pretence of looking at the stars.
He drove her down a country track on the Solway, and proceeded to assault her.
It was the second time Black, of Dobinson Road , Raffles, Carlisle, had stood trial for the sexual assault charge, and the second time the 11-year-old had been forced to give evidence.
The first court case had been closed without a verdict earlier in the year, after evidence emerged that Black had attempted to pervert the course of justice.
The 28-year-old had asked Matthew Hilton to provide an alibi for him, without telling the man why.
It was only after reading coverage of Black's trial in the News & Star that Mr Hilton, and his father Raymond, contacted police.
The trial was abandoned and the defendant was subsequently charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Keith Thomas, defending, handed the judge two letters of support for Black from residents in his street.
He asked the judge to adhere to the sentencing guidelines, saying that to look beyond them would be to suggest the sexual offence had been at a more severe level.
Sentencing Black, Judge Paul Batty said: "I take an extremely serious view of this case. I've presided now over two trials in respect of this matter. The evidence clearly indicates that you lured her with tales of looking at the stars.
"You drove her to the banks of the Solway where you committed there a wicked offence on that child."
He continued: "She was screaming as you sexually assaulted her. In my judgement that has about every aggravating feature one can imagine.
"I of course have regard to the sentencing guidelines for this offence, which suggest between 26 weeks and two years imprisonment, but in my judgement the circumstances require me to go outside the sentencing guidelines."
Judge Batty sentenced Black to three years in prison for the sexual assault, and one year in prison for the charge of perverting the course of justice, to be served consecutively.
In total he was sentenced to four years in prison. The 63 days spent in custody since the collapse of the previous trial will be taken into account.
Black will be on the Sex Offenders' Register for life, is banned from every working with children and was made the subject of an indefinite sexual offences prevention order, which will prevent him having access to anyone under 16.
Black looked pale and shaken.
Judge Batty added: "You pose, in my judgement, a danger to children."

Then when we were advised that we were being laid off they kept us long enough to train our replacements. They were flown to our facility for several weeks so we could train them and then we were escorted out of the building. I have never felt so used and mistreated. Then our severance pay was one week of pay for every year we were there MINUS what unemployment paid us weekly. I regret leaving my old employer thinking that I had great opportunity at General Dynamics. Beware......
Management needs to attend training classes to learn how to manage!

General Dynamics takes care of its employees. At GD you will be able to work on some of the most complex projects in the world.Cons
Working at such a large company, you tend to get lost in the woodwork. If you want to make it you need to speak out and stick up for yourself.Advice to ManagementAdvice
There is too much pressure on middle management to do work. They should be trained to delegate more of their work so they can manage the engineers better.No opinion of CEO
