Justin Potts dives in to Japanese culture. |
Categories: 2000s | Other event
Justin Potts, ('04 Psych) is greatly fascinated with Japan's natural beaut, agriculture, and cuisine. Through his love for the nation's agriculture, he has found a job at Umari Inc., which operates a Tokyo based restaurant that offers Japanese food cooked with select produce from farmers all over Japan.
This May, Potts will lead a new project involving Japanese and Italian companies and participate in Milano Expo 2015 in Italy to tout Japan's cuisine. The project is named "Peace Kitchen," and will allow participants to learn about Japan's home-style cooking.
"It's not about sake. It's more about the concept around fermentation, how we coexist with things and a philosophy related to that, how that ties to building communities, working with one another," says Potts. "It's about who you share it with, the time you spend with people around that food — something you can't buy in Tokyo at any price."
Potts has now learned Japanese fluently and completely immersed himself in the culture.
"[Not knowing the language is] fine if you're traveling, it's fine if you're studying abroad for a few months and you don't have a lot of responsibility," he said. "But when it comes to living and thriving, being able to order a beer or rent a video is one thing, but on a personal level, aside from Japanese or non-Japanese, you want to make connections and communicate."

Brad Fisher awarded Volunteer of the Year |
Categories: 1970s | Award or honor
RBC Wealth Management U.S. recently recognized Brad Fisher, director of the firm's Tri-Cities branch, as the recipient of its Dick McFarland Volunteer of the Year Award. Each year, RBC Foundation-USA recognizes one employee with the Dick McFarland Volunteer of the Year Award for outstanding volunteer commitment and community service.
"Brad has not only made individual contributions to his community, but also has motivated others in his branch to take service to another level," said Richard Sorenson, Portland complex director. "He is dedicated to helping the firm continue to grow as a trusted partner of the Tri-Cities communities."
Last year, Fisher volunteered with six different nonprofit and civic organizations – the Advisory Council of Washington State University Tri-Cities; the board of directors of the Tri-City Development Council; Tri-Cities Evolution, a local governance task force; SIFMA Foundation, where he was an InvestWrite essay competition judge; United Way of Benton and Franklin Counties, where he was branch coordinator; and the Children's Reading Foundation of the Mid-Columbia.
The issue of children's literacy is important to Fisher. He has volunteered with the Children's Reading Foundation for more than seven years, and in the past has served on the organization's board. As a part of receiving the Volunteer of the Year award, RBC Wealth Management will make a $1,000 contribution to the Children's Reading Foundation in honor of Fisher.
In the past, Fisher also served two terms on the Kennewick, Wash., City Council, including one term as mayor. In 2012, he received the RBC Wealth Management PCG Directors Award for Community Service.
In addition to all his volunteering, Fisher also takes advantage of RBC's annual gift matching opportunities for nonprofits. He credits RBC Wealth Management's corporate culture for fostering an environment of volunteerism and stewardship.

Mercer Island's City Attorney, Katie Knight, retires. |
Categories: 1980s | Edward R. Murrow College of Communication | Other event
After serving the city of Mercer Island for 10 years, Katie Knight has chosen to retire. After being diagnosed with macular degeneration in 2011, Knight has lost central sight in both of her eyes. Although making her job difficult, she kept working with support from the city and Services for the Blind.
"I'm recognizing my limitations but still doing my job," she said. "It's stretched me in ways I didn't expect, but I think there are two choices in how you handle this stuff, and I chose the more positive one."
Although her central sight has faded, she has her peripheral vision and continues to pursue her true passion – riding and training horses.
Knight graduated in 1982 with a degree in communications.

Denial-of-service issues
Banks work to address problems with Internet access
2:44 p.m., Dec. 12, 2012--Several banks, including PNC Bank, have been named as potential targets of new denial-of-service attacks threatened for this week.
A denial-of-service occurs when an external party or parties overwhelm an organization's Internet connection with illegitimate traffic, so that actual customers are crowded out. The problem is an issue with traffic volume and does not involve breach of confidential data.
FYI Stories
Eduroam network
Stay safe
Members of the University of Delaware community who are customers of PNC or other affected banks may encounter some trouble accessing information or transactions online.
PNC representatives said that while no bank can prevent all cyber attacks, it is taking the threat seriously and has heightened its security accordingly.

Dealing with a Disruptive Student
Disruptive Behavior
Disruptive classroom behavior is an action or combination of actions that unreasonably interferes with, hinders, or prevents others from freely participating in or fully benefiting from an educational process or activity. Some of the most common classroom disruptions can often be handled with conventional classroom management strategies or even prevented by clarifying behavioral expectations and guidelines. Sometimes disruptive behavior escalates to a situation that becomes threatening to the safety and wellbeing of others. For these extreme incidents, Public Safety should be contacted immediately.
Examples of Disruptive Behavior:
- Repeated interruptions or incessant talking during a lecture
- Hostile comments or angry outbursts
- Aggressively taking over lecture or discussion
- Using a cell-phone or other electronic device during class
Preventing Disruptive Behavior
- Clarify your behavioral expectations in the syllabus and review these on the first day of class. Outline basic behavioral standards, prohibited conduct, how you plan to manage behavioral issues, and possible consequences or disciplinary action.
- Be clear about your expectations and consistent about enforcing them.
- Serve as a role model for the conduct you expect from your students. Maintain mutual respect in your interactions with students, and maintain a calm and poised disposition.
- Try not to take disruptive behavior personally or respond heatedly.
- If the behavior is irritating, but not disruptive, try speaking with the student after class. Many students are unaware of distracting habits or mannerisms, and may have not intended to be offensive or disruptive.
- Before a classroom becomes unmanageable, consider a general word of caution to the class, rather than warning a particular student. For example, "we have too many conversations occurring at the same time; let's all focus on the same topic." If disruptive behavior continues after you have offered a general word of caution, ask the individual to stop the specific behavior and offer to speak more with them privately. See the recommendations which follow.
Responding to Disruptive Behavior
- Respond immediately. Verbally request that the student stop the disruptive behavior. Address the specific problematic behavior in a firm, concise manner, but try not to raise your voice. Remind the class of your expectations for classroom behavior.
- If the problem persists, notify the student that if the behavior does not stop immediately, he or she must leave the class and that disciplinary action may result. Offer to talk to the student about the issue privately at another time.
- If the student refuses to leave the classroom and the behavior persists or escalates, notify him or her that you will call Campus Safety and that disciplinary action will result. Proceed to call Campus Safety at 202.274. 5050.
- You may wish to consult with your department chair or dean prior to an individual meeting with the student about repetitive disruptive behavior.
When meeting with a student about their problematic behavior:
- Be specific about the inappropriate behavior that the student has exhibited. Focus on the problematic behaviors, rather than on the student as a person.
- Clarify expectations and develop an agreement with the student on future conduct. Showing respectful concern may help them to hear your message and to modify their behavior. Try to remain calm, even if the student becomes agitated.
- Conclude by summarizing any resolutions and articulating expectations for the future. Be clear that continued inappropriate behavior will result in disciplinary action. You may want to document your meeting and the outcome of it for your records.
- When student conduct is significantly disruptive, but not an emergency, consult with your dean/department chair and make an incident report of threatening, harassing, and/or bizarre behavior with the Office of Public Safety.
- If a disruption is serious, and other reasonable measures have failed, adjourn the class and call campus security (4-5050). When a student engages in behavior that causes you or others to feel unsafe or threatened, contact campus police (4-5050) immediately.

Storm Week: When Lightning Strikes
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — Lightning brightens the sky on a stormy night. Many call it a light show, free of charge by Mother Nture. However, you could pay in other ways.
"She thought she heard a lightning strike pretty close," says homeowner Claudio Guerra, speaking about the woman house-sitting Wednesday night.
A lightning bolt cost Claudio Guerra his million-dollar home. He received the call at 4 o'clock Thursday morning. It was burnt to the ground.
"It was pretty much a brand new home, a lifetime of memories and things you collect [are gone]," he adds.
But luckily it didn't cost Guerra or his family their life. For that they're grateful, but every year lightning kills about 90 people in the country.
It's dangerous because it's unpredictable. Nobody knows when and where it will strike. It's best to prepare yourself in advance.
Homes sitting at the top of a hill are most likely to get struck by lightning, which is why some homes install lightning rods for protection.
Bill Simpson of Smokestack Lightning Inc. explains the rods. They are only 3/8 in. thick of solid copper. However, it's strong enough to protect a house or building from top to bottom.
"It can go through a cable instead of through the materials in the house," says Simpson.
And as always, knowledge is power. The more you know about how to keep safe, the less likely you are to get hurt.
Some common lightning myths:
MYTH 1: Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
FACT: Lightning can strike the same place many times, especially objects that are tall and isolated.
MYTH 2: If outside during a storm, you should hide under a tree.
FACT: Beneath a tree is one of the worst places you can go outside. The right thing to do is seek shelter right away.
MYTH 3: In your vehicle you may think rubber tires protect you from lightning.
FACT: Most cars are safe from lightning, but it's the metal exterior that protects you, not the rubber tires. Convertibles, motorcycles, and bicycles offer no protection.
MYTH 4: If you touch a person whose been struck by lightning, you too will be electrocuted.
FACT: That's a myth. The human body doesn't store electricity. It's safe to tough a lightning victim to give first aid.

Mobile telephony is the provision of telephone services to phones which may move around freely rather than stay fixed in one location. Mobile phones connect to a terrestrial cellular network of base stations (cell sites), whereas satellite phones connect to orbiting satellites. Both networks are interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to allow any phone in the world to be dialed.
In 2010 there were estimated to be five billion mobile cellular subscriptions in the world.
Electronics engineering, or electronic engineering, is an engineering discipline where non-linear and active electrical components such as electron tubes, and semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, are utilized to design electronic circuits, devices and systems, typically also including passive electrical components and based on printed circuit boards. The term denotes a broad engineering field that covers important subfields such as analog electronics, digital electronics, consumer electronics, embedded systems and power electronics. Electronics engineering deals with implementation of applications, principles and algorithms developed within many related fields, for example solid-state physics, radio engineering, telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, systems engineering, computer engineering, instrumentation engineering, electric power control, robotics, and many others.]verification needed[
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is one of the most important and influential organizations for electronics engineers.
In computing, cross-platform, or multi-platform, is an attribute conferred to computer software or computing methods and concepts that are implemented and inter-operate on multiple computer platforms. Cross-platform software may be divided into two types; one requires individual building or compilation for each platform that it supports, and the other one can be directly run on any platform without special preparation, e.g., software written in an interpreted language or pre-compiled portable bytecode for which the interpreters or run-time packages are common or standard components of all platforms.
For example, a cross-platform application may run on Microsoft Windows on the x86 architecture, Linux on the x86 architecture and Mac OS X on either the PowerPC or x86 based Apple Macintosh systems. A cross-platform application may run on as many as all existing platforms, or on as few as two platforms.
A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.
In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.
The features of mobile phones are the set of capabilities, services and applications that they offer to their users. Low-end mobile phones are often referred to as feature phones, and offer basic telephony.]clarification needed[ Handsets with more advanced computing ability through the use of native software applications became known as smartphones.
All mobile phones have a number of features in common, but manufacturers also try to differentiate their own products by implementing additional functions to make them more attractive to consumers. This has led to great innovation in mobile phone development over the past 20 years.

Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids, derived from, or contained in esterified form in an animal or vegetable fat, oil or wax. Natural fatty acids commonly have a chain of 4 to 28 carbons (usually unbranched and even numbered), which may be saturated or unsaturated. By extension, the term is sometimes used to embrace all acyclic aliphatic carboxylic acids. This would include acetic acid, which is not usually considered a fatty acid because it is so short that the triglyceride triacetin made from it is substantially miscible with water and is thus not a lipid.
Fatty acids can be saturated and unsaturated, depending on double bonds. They differ in length as well.
Saturated fatty acids form straight chains and, as a result, can be packed together very tightly, allowing living organisms to store chemical energy very densely. The fatty tissues of animals contain large amounts of long-chain saturated fatty acids. In IUPAC nomenclature, fatty acids have an [-oic acid] suffix. In common nomenclature, the suffix is usually -ic.
The shortest descriptions of fatty acids include only the number of carbon atoms and double bonds in them (e.g., C18:0 or 18:0). C18:0 means that the carbon chain of the fatty acid consists of 18 carbon atoms, and there are no (zero) double bonds in it, whereas C18:1 describes an 18-carbon chain with one double bond in it. Each double bond can be in either a cis- or trans- conformation, and stands in a different position with respect to the ends of the fatty acid; therefore, not all C18:1s (for example) are identical. If there is one or more double bonds in the fatty acid, it is no longer considered saturated, but rather, mono- or polyunsaturated.
Most commonly-occurring saturated fatty acids are of the following varieties:
Common name | IUPAC name | Chemical structure | Abbr. | Melting point (°C) |
Butyric | Butanoic acid | CH3(CH2)2COOH | C4:0 | -8 |
Caproic | Hexanoic acid | CH3(CH2)4COOH | C6:0 | -3 |
Caprylic | Octanoic acid | CH3(CH2)6COOH | C8:0 | 16-17 |
Capric | Decanoic acid | CH3(CH2)8COOH | C10:0 | 31 |
Lauric | Dodecanoic acid | CH3(CH2)10COOH | C12:0 | 44-46 |
Myristic | Tetradecanoic acid | CH3(CH2)12COOH | C14:0 | 58.8 |
Palmitic | Hexadecanoic acid | CH3(CH2)14COOH | C16:0 | 63-64 |
Stearic | Octadecanoic acid | CH3(CH2)16COOH | C18:0 | 69.9 |
Arachidic | Eicosanoic acid | CH3(CH2)18COOH | C20:0 | 75.5 |
Behenic | Docosanoic acid | CH3(CH2)20COOH | C22:0 | 74-78 |
Lignoceric | Tetracosanoic acid | CH3(CH2)22COOH | C24:0 |
Unsaturated fatty acids are of similar form, except that one or more alkenyl functional groups exist along the chain, with each alkene substituting a single-bonded " -CH2-CH2-" part of the chain with a double-bonded "-CH=CH-" portion (that is, a carbon double-bonded to another carbon).
The two next carbon atoms in the chain that are bound to either side of the double bond can occur in a cis or trans configuration. cis : A cis configuration means that adjacent hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the double bond. The rigidity of the double bond freezes its conformation and, in the case of the cis isomer, causes the chain to bend and restricts the conformational freedom of the fatty acid. The more double bonds the chain has in the cis configuration, the less flexibility it has. When a chain has many cis bonds, it becomes quite curved in its most accessible conformations. For example, oleic acid, with one double bond, has a "kink" in it, whereas linoleic acid, with two double bonds, has a more pronounced bend. Alpha-linolenic acid, with three double bonds, favors a hooked shape. The effect of this is that, in restricted environments, such as when fatty acids are part of a phospholipid in a lipid bilayer, or triglycerides in lipid droplets, cis bonds limit the ability of fatty acids to be closely packed, and therefore could affect the melting temperature of the membrane or of the fat. trans : A trans configuration, by contrast, means that the next two hydrogen atoms are bound to opposite sides of the double bond. As a result, they do not cause the chain to bend much, and their shape is similar to straight saturated fatty acids.
In most naturally-occurring unsaturated fatty acids, each double bond has 3n carbon atoms after it, for some n, and all are cis bonds. Most fatty acids in the trans configuration (trans fats) are not found in nature and are the result of human processing (e.g., hydrogenation).
The differences in geometry between the various types of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, play an important role in biological processes, and in the construction of biological structures (such as cell membranes).
System | Example | Explanation |
Trivial nomenclature | Palmitoleic acid | Trivial names (or common names) are non-systematic historical names which are the most frequent naming system used in literature. Most common fatty acids have trivial names in addition to their systematic names (see below). These names do not follow any pattern, but are concise and generally unambiguous. |
Systematic nomenclature | (9Z)-octadec-9-enoic acid | Systematic names (or IUPAC names) derive from the standard IUPAC Rules for the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, published in 1979, along with a recommendation published specifically for lipids in 1977. Counting begins from the carboxylic acid end. Double bonds are labelled with cis-/trans- notation or E-/Z- notation, where appropriate. This notation is generally more verbose than common nomenclature, but has the advantage of being more technically clear and descriptive. |
Δx nomenclature | cis,cis-Δ9,Δ12 | In Δx (or delta-x) nomenclature, each double bond is indicated by Δx, where the double bond is located on the xth carbon–carbon bond, counting from the carboxylic acid end. Each double bond is preceded by a cis- or trans- prefix, indicating the conformation of the molecule around the bond. For example, linoleic acid is designated . |
n−x nomenclature | n−3 | n−x (n minus x; also ω−x or omega-x) nomenclature does not provide names for individual compounds, but is a shorthand way to categorize fatty acids by their physiological properties. A double bond is located on the xth carbon–carbon bond, counting from the terminal methyl carbon (designated as n or ω) toward the carbonyl carbon. For example, α-Linolenic acid is classified as a n−3 or omega-3 fatty acid, and so it shares properties with other compounds of this type. The ω−x or omega-x notation is common in popular literature, but IUPAC has deprecated it in favor of n−x notation in technical documents. The most commonly researched fatty acid types are n−3 and n−6, which have unique biological properties. |
Lipid numbers | 18:3 18:3, n−6 18:3, cis,cis,cis-Δ9,Δ12,Δ15 | Lipid numbers take the form C:D, where C is the number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid and D is the number of double bonds in the fatty acid. This notation is ambiguous, as different fatty acids can have the same numbers. Consequently, this notation is usually paired with either a Δx or n−x term. |
Examples of unsaturated fatty acids:
Common name | Chemical structure | Δx | C:D | n−x |
Myristoleic acid | CH3(CH2)3CH=CH(CH2)7COOH | cis-Δ9 | 14:1 | n−5 |
Palmitoleic acid | CH3(CH2)5CH=CH(CH2)7COOH | cis-Δ9 | 16:1 | n−7 |
Oleic acid | CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH | cis-Δ9 | 18:1 | n−9 |
Linoleic acid | CH3(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7COOH | cis,cis-Δ9,Δ12 | 18:2 | n−6 |
α-Linolenic acid | CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7COOH | cis,cis,cis-Δ9,Δ12,Δ15 | 18:3 | n−3 |
Arachidonic acid | CH3(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)3COOH NIST | cis,cis,cis,cis-Δ5Δ8,Δ11,Δ14 | 20:4 | n−6 |
Eicosapentaenoic acid | CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)3COOH | cis,cis,cis,cis,cis-Δ5,Δ8,Δ11,Δ14,Δ17 | 20:5 | n−3 |
Erucic acid | CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)11COOH | cis-Δ13 | 22:1 | n−9 |
Docosahexaenoic acid | CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)2COOH | cis,cis,cis,cis,cis,cis-Δ4,Δ7,Δ10,Δ13,Δ16,Δ19 | 22:6 | n−3 |
The human body can produce all but two of the fatty acids it needs. These two, linoleic acid (LA acid) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), are widely distributed in plant oils. In addition, fish oils contain the longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Other marine oils, such as from seal, also contain significant amounts of docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), which is also an omega-3 fatty acid. Although the body to some extent can convert LA and LNA into these longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids, the omega-3 fatty acids found in marine oils help fulfill the requirement of essential fatty acids (and have been shown to have wholesome properties of their own).
Since they cannot be made in the body from other substrates and must be supplied in food, they are called essential fatty acids. Mammals lack the ability to introduce double bonds in fatty acids beyond carbons 9 and 10. Hence linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid are essential fatty acids for humans.
In the body, essential fatty acids are primarily used to produce hormone-like substances that regulate a wide range of functions, including blood pressure, blood clotting, blood lipid levels, the immune response, and the inflammation response to injury infection.
Essential fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids and are the parent compounds of the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acid series, respectively. They are essential in the human diet because there is no synthetic mechanism for them. Humans can easily make saturated fatty acids or monounsaturated fatty acids with a double bond at the omega-9 position, but do not have the enzymes necessary to introduce a double bond at the omega-3 position or omega-6 position.
The essential fatty acids are important in several human body systems, including the immune system and in blood pressure regulation, since they are used to make compounds such as prostaglandins. The brain has increased amounts of linolenic and alpha-linoleic acid derivatives. Changes in the levels and balance of these fatty acids due to a typical Western diet rich in omega-6 and poor in omega-3 fatty acids is alleged to be associated with depression and behavioral change, including violence. The actual connection, if any, is still under investigation. Further, changing to a diet richer in omega-3 fatty acids, or consumption of supplements to compensate for a dietary imbalance, has been associated with reduced violent behavior and increased attention span, but the mechanisms for the effect are still unclear. So far, at least three human studies have shown results that support this: two school studies as well as a double blind study in a prison.
Fatty acids play an important role in the life and death of cardiac cells because they are essential fuels for mechanical and electrical activities of the heart.
A trans fatty acid (commonly shortened to trans fat) is an unsaturated fatty acid molecule that contains a trans double bond between carbon atoms, which makes the molecule less 'kinked' in comparison to fatty acids with cis double bonds. These bonds are characteristically produced during industrial hydrogenation of plant oils. Research suggests that amounts of trans fats correlate with circulatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease more than the same amount of non-trans fats, for reasons that are not fully understood. It is known, however, that trans fats raise the LDL (bad) cholesterol and lowers the HDL (good) cholestrol. They have also been shown to have other harmful effects such as increasing triglycerides and Lp(a) lipoproteins. It is also thought to cause more inflammation, which is thought to occur through damage to the cells lining of blood vessels.
When discussing essential fatty acids, (EFA) a slightly different terminology applies. Short-chain EFA are 18 carbons long; long-chain EFA have 20 or more carbons.
The uncombined fatty acids or free fatty acids may come from the breakdown of a triglyceride into its components (fatty acids and glycerol). However as fats are insoluble in water they must be bound to appropriate regions in the plasma protein albumin for transport around the body. The levels of "free fatty acid" in the blood are limited by the number of albumin binding sites available.
Free fatty acids are an important source of fuel for many tissues since they can yield relatively large quantities of ATP. Many cell types can use either glucose or fatty acids for this purpose. In particular, heart and skeletal muscle prefer fatty acids. The brain cannot use fatty acids as a source of fuel; it relies on glucose, or on ketone bodies. Ketone bodies are produced in the liver by fatty acid metabolism during starvation, or during periods of low carbohydrate intake.
The following table gives the fatty acid, vitamin E and cholesterol composition of some common dietary fats.

Even those fatty acids that are insoluble in water will dissolve in warm ethanol, and can be titrated with sodium hydroxide solution using phenolphthalein as an indicator to a pale-pink endpoint. This analysis is used to determine the free fatty acid content of fats, i.e., the proportion of the triglycerides that have been hydrolyzed.
Fatty acids react just like any other carboxylic acid, which means they can undergo esterification and acid-base reactions. Reduction of fatty acids yields fatty alcohols. Unsaturated fatty acids can also undergo addition reactions, most commonly hydrogenation, which is used to convert vegetable oils into margarine. With partial hydrogenation, unsaturated fatty acids can be isomerized from cis to trans configuration. In the Varrentrapp reaction certain unsaturated fatty acids are cleaved in molten alkali, a reaction at one time of relevance to structure elucidation.
Fatty acids at room temperature undergo a chemical change known as auto-oxidation. The fatty acid breaks down into hydrocarbons, ketones, aldehydes, and smaller amounts of epoxides and alcohols. Heavy metals present at low levels in fats and oils promote auto-oxidation. Fats and oils often are treated with chelating agents such as citric acid.
Within the villi, the chylomicron enters a lymphatic capillary called a lacteal, which merges into larger lymphatic vessels. It is transported via the lymphatic system and the thoracic duct up to a location near the heart (where the arteries and veins are larger). The thoracic duct empties the chylomicrons into the bloodstream via the left subclavian vein. At this point the chylomicrons can transport the triglycerides to where they are needed.

The Wildcats have a 5-8 road record in the series and have lost four straight at SEFCU Arena dating back to their 87-77 win Jan. 22, 2010.
WINNING STREAK: New Hampshire has won its last six games, marking the first time since the 1998-99 season that the Wildcats have accomplished the feat. The six consecutive wins is the most that head coach Maureen Magarity has registered in her career at the helm.
HISTORIC AMERICA EAST START: The Wildcats have started their conference schedule with four consecutive wins, the best start to America East play since the 1992-93 season.
EMPIRE STATE OF MIND: The Wildcats have a 90-69 lifetime record against schools that hail from New York.
OFFENSE VS. DEFENSE: New Hampshire owns the top-scoring defense in the conference by allowing 57.9 ppg. Albany boasts the highest scoring average amongst America East institutions with 72.1 ppg. Furthermore, the Wildcats (.338) and Great Danes (.475) hold the top percentages in field goal percentage defense and offense in their respective categories.
1,000 POINT CLUB: Hogan became the 17th member in UNH women's basketball history to score 1,000 points in a collegiate career. The senior point guard reached the milestone with a 14-point performance in a 65-40 win at home against Vermont (Jan. 20). The last Wildcat to reach the honor was Denise Beliveau on Dec. 3, 2011. In her career, Hogan has accumulated 1,001 points.
CAREER START NO. 100: Hogan started in her 100th game of her collegiate career as a Wildcat in the game against Hartford (Jan. 18). The senior guard and three-time co-captain has started in every game but one in her career (102 games played, 101 games started).
300 ASSISTS: Hogan reached the 300-assist milestone by dishing out three in a losing effort against Cleveland State (Dec. 18; 65-50). Currently, Hogan has tallied 322 helpers in her career as a Wildcat to rank 10th all-time in UNH women's basketball history.
TENACIOUS D: As of Jan. 22, the Wildcats boast the 15th-best scoring defense in the nation by hindering their opponents to 55.3 ppg.

Entering the week, UNH leads the America East in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense, 3-point field goal percentage (.275), and defensive rebounds per game (27.7). This season, New Hampshire has limited its opponent to less than 60 points in 10 of 17 contests.
COMEBACK KIDS: UNH erased an 18-point deficit in the first half to rally past Hartford, 61-56. The victory is the largest come-from-behind win New Hampshire has earned this season. Previously, New Hampshire's largest rally was eight points against Brown (Jan. 3; 77-74, OT).
CAPTAIN HOGAN: Hogan is co-captain of the 2013-14 UNH Wildcats for a third consecutive season. Last year, she was a co-captain alongside Cari Reed. In the previous year, Hogan was co-captain with Denise Beliveau and started all 30 games. Hogan is a multiple threat in the backcourt – as the quarterback of the offense, she is strong on the dribble and an excellent passer; she is also an accurate jump shooter who led not only the team but the America East conference in 3-point field goal percentage (.446; 41 of 92) two years ago. In the conference opener against Stony Brook (Jan. 11), Hogan netted a career-high 35 points, including eight points in overtime to pace UNH in a 71-68 win. Prior to the game against the Seawolves, Hogan's season-high in scoring was 17 in a 67-60 loss at Bryant (Dec. 1). The guard ranks tied for first on the team and eighth in America East with 12.1 ppg. The senior guard now is the 17th member of the 1,000-point club, reaching the milestone in a win against Vermont (60-45; Jan. 20).
CC'S COURT: Coia ranks first on the team in scoring and tied for eighth in America East with 12.3 ppg this season. The 6-foot-4 forward has reached double digits in points in 13 of 17 games this season, a team-high. She leads the team in double-doubles this season with four, most recently in a 15 point 12 rebound performance against Yale. (Jan. 7). The red shirt sophomore matched a career-high 19 points in a loss against Boston University (Dec. 22).
CAREER-HIGHS FROM THE CHARITY STRIPE: The Wildcats have eclipsed 20 free throws converted in back-to-back games against Yale (Jan. 7) and Stony Brook (Jan. 11). Coia recorded a personal best 13 of 17 free throws in a 58-53 win over the Bulldogs. In the overtime win against the Seawolves; Hogan netted a career-best 12 free throws on 14 attempts, including a perfect 6-for-6 performance from the line in extra time. The duo has scored 66 of 86 attempts for a .767 percentage since Dec. 15.
KAYLEE KILLA: Kilpatrick was named a co-captain for the 2013-14 season by head coach Maureen Magarity and leads the Wildcats in three different categories this season. She currently occupies the top rank on the team in blocks (28), and steals (13). Furthermore, Kilpatrick has also raised her free throw percentage by 13 percentage points this season from the previous year. In her collegiate career, the 6-foot-4 forward has compiled a .697 free throw percentage. The junior racked up a career-high five blocks in a win against Yale (Jan. 7; 58-53), tied for the most by an America East player this season. In a road loss at Bryant on Dec. 1 (67-61), Kilpatrick notched a season-high 15 points.
DOUBLE-DOUBLES FOR THE TREES: New Hampshire has recorded a double-double in 6 of 17 games this season. Kilpatrick leads the team with four double-doubles while Coia has garnered the three. The 6-foot-4 forward duo is 4-2 when either of them record a double-double.
E-BOMB: Belanger notched a career-high 20 points with 16 coming in the first half in an overtime win at Brown (Jan. 3). The sophomore also racked up a personal best two blocks in a losing effort against Boston University (Dec. 22). Currently, the guard leads the team rebounds and ranks tied for fifth in America East, averaging 6.9 rpg.
CEDAR POINT: Junior guard Ariel Gaston (Toledo, Ohio) has eclipsed her single-season high of 3-pointers in just 10 games and has matched a career-high three treys on two occasions. She recorded a career-high six assists in a win at UMBC (Jan. 15; 60-47). In addition, Gaston leads the 'Cats in assists (47) and assist/turnover ratio (1.9).
THEY CALL ME GERM: Senior forward/guard Sarah-Marie Frankenberger (Gross Gerau, Germany) has matched her career-high of 3-pointers in a game with two on three occasions this season. The senior has posted a pair of treys in back-to-back games at UMBC (Jan. 18) and Hartford (Jan. 20). Frankenberger recorded the game-tying shot from beyond the arc in the come from behind win against the Hawks.
SHE'S A FRESHMAN: Freshman guard Kristen Anderson (Greene, Maine) became the first Wildcat freshman to register at least 30 points since Kris Kenney accomplished the feat on Feb. 7, 1986 at home against Boston University. The 30-point performance by Anderson is the most scored by a Wildcat this season.
OVERTIME THRILLERS: UNH played in its first overtime game since January 2, 2013 (at Vermont) prevailing over the Brown University Bears in a 77-74 road victory on Jan. 3. It marked the first win in extra time for New Hampshire since it defeated Binghamton on the road 59-52 on Feb. 25, 2012. New Hampshire played in another overtime game just eight days later at home against Stony Brook (Jan. 11). The Wildcats were able to edge out the Seawolves, 71-68.
NO EASY BUCKETS: New Hampshire ranks third in America East in blocks (47) and blocks per game (2.8) this season. Kilpatrick tallied at least one block in seven consecutive games between Dec. 7 to Jan. 11. Furthermore, the junior accounts for 59.5 percent of UNH's blocks and is second the America East in blocked shots per game (1.6).
PAINT CLASS: The Wildcats are 7-2 this season when UNH has outscored its opponent in the paint. Boston University and Howard are the only teams to defeat UNH this season and outscored by the Wildcats in the paint.
WHEN LEADING AT HALF: UNH has held a lead entering on eight occasions and has won all eight decisions. New Hampshire is 1-1 when the score is deadlocked at halftime.
WIPING GLASS: Belanger, Coia, Gaston and Kilpatrick have recorded at least 10 rebounds in a game this season. As a team, UNH is 6-1 when it controls the rebounding advantage. Belanger has led the 'Cats in rebounding seven times this season.
SPREADING THE WEALTH: UNH has logged five different combinations of at least three scorers with 10 points or more this season. Coia (16), Belanger (10) and Kilpatrick (10) all notched at least 10 points in the season-opening win over Worcester State. Hogan joined the duo of Coia and Kilpatrick in double-digit scoring in a one-point loss at Central Connecticut (Nov. 20). Anderson joined the group as she eclipsed scored 11 points off the bench as she was welcomed by Hogan (15) and Coia (14) in a 63-58 win over Colgate (Nov. 25). Gaston posted a career-high 13 points as the guard was accompanied by Hogan (17) and Kilpatrick (15) in a 67-61 road loss to Bryant (Dec. 1). Coia (15), Hogan (13) and Kilpatrick (10) all reached double figures for the second time as a trio in a 58-53 win against Yale (Jan. 7). The trio of Coia (16), Belanger (14) and Hogan (14) all reached double figures in a win over Vermont (60-45; Jan. 20).
'CATS RECEIVE AMERICA EAST RECOGNITION: Anderson was selected as the America East Rookie of the Week, the conference announced Monday, Jan. 6. The freshman garnered her first-ever collegiate career. Furthermore, the freshman guard is the first Wildcat to garner the honor since Hogan received the award on Jan. 3, 2011. Anderson tallied a career-high 30 points and eight rebounds, including nine points in overtime to power the Wildcats over the Brown University Bears, 77-74. The performance marked the first time a freshman garnered at least 30 points in a game since all-time UNH leading scorer Kris Kinney notched 33 against Boston University on Feb. 6, 1986.
Hogan was named to the 2013-14 America East Preseason All-Conference Team, announced by the conference on Tuesday, Oct. 15. The lone Wildcat representative, Hogan is the leading returner for the Wildcats in scoring this season, averaging 9.8 ppg in 2012-13. Powering UNH to its first conference semifinal appearance since 2005, the guard hit the game-winning trey as time expired to defeat Stony Brook in the quarterfinals, 49-46. Additionally, Hogan's 3-point buzzer beater was voted amongst the fans as the 2012-13 America East Moment of the Year. The senior captain logged in 32.9 minutes per game and dished out 73 assists last season, a team high.
MILESTONE WATCH: Hogan ranks in the top 10 in 3-pointers made and assists in a career. She reached the 100 milestone Feb. 6, 2013 at home against Vermont. Hogan is also 10th in career assists with 313; she tallied #300 on Dec. 18, 2013 against Cleveland State. The senior guard became the 17th member of the 1,000-point club in a victory over Vermont on Jan. 20. In addition, Kilpatrick ranks in the top 10 in blocks in a career.

BASKETBALL ON THE GO: The America East Conference and NeuLion have collaborated to bring fans complete game coverage of all America East basketball games. The portal, AmericaEast.tv, brings fans exclusive content as well as live events, free of charge on both web and mobile platforms. UNH will be broadcasted on AmericaEast.tv at every home game as well as away contests at conference institutions.
MARKED IMPROVEMENT: Under head coach Maureen Magarity (Marist '03), New Hampshire improved its win total seven games from the 2010-11 (nine victories) to 2011-12 seasons (16 victories) to tie the second-highest margin of improvement in program history. UNH also saw a seven-game improvement from 1998 (12) to 1999 (19), while the highest mark of eight games was from 1991 (10) to 1992 (18).
LEADER OF THE 'CAT PACK: The 2013-14 season marks the fourth season for UNH Wildcats head coach Maureen Magarity (Marist '03), who became the sixth head coach in program history in May 2010 and the youngest coach of a Division I team – men's or women's – in the country. Magarity quickly made a positive impact on the program with a 37-52 record in her first three seasons; in comparison, UNH was a combined 33-87 the four years prior to her arrival. Last season, Magarity led the Wildcats to their first appearances in the America East semifinals since 2005, topping Stony Brook 49-46 on a buzzer beater trey. In just her second year at the helm in Durham, Magarity guided the Wildcats to their second postseason appearance (beyond conference postseason play) in the program's 37-year history when UNH advanced to the 2012 Women's Basketball Invitational. New Hampshire finished the year with a 16-14 overall record to mark the team's first winning season since 2006 and most wins since 2002. In her first season, Magarity led the Wildcats to a 9-20 overall record and they doubled their conference wins from the previous season.
500 AND COUNTING: Now in its 39th year as a varsity program, the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team has an overall record of 520-506 for a .506 winning percentage. UNH recorded the 500th victory in program history Feb. 22, 2012 with a 65-53 win against Maine on Senior Day at Lundholm Gym. Here is a look at the century milestones:

Parenting Life (cont.)MEMBER QUESTION:
Now let's talk about the kinds of questions you will want to ask when evaluating a family daycare. You will want to find out:
I always tell parents they should never ever think about putting their child in a family daycare home if the provider is unwilling to allow parents to drop by unannounced. That should be the ultimate red flag, an indication that something is not going right. MEMBER QUESTION:

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 349
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vietnamvet Average hotel
We were disappointed with our stay. Our bed was hard and lumpy. The bathroom had mold and mildew growing on the grout. The so called breakfast was extremely expensive for what was available. I don't mind paying for a good meal but for what was there the cost was way out of line. The water in the pool was cloudy. Nice workout facility, nice lobby, staff was friendly, except our morning waitress could not speak English well enough to understand our concerns or she just didn't want to understand our concerns. We were not allowed to use a $20 off coupon for breakfast because the waitress nor the manager in the restaurant had never seen one therefore we could not use it. The coupon came from SPG website promo. We also tried to use a 30% off coupon for room rate from the website and was told we could not do that because we had booked under AAA rates and it could not be changed. We stay in this area twice a month for rest and relaxation and thought we would try your hotel because of the reviews we had read. Because of this if I can not get the difference credited to my card I will not be staying with you again. If I can get this problem solved I would recommend your hotel for the reason checked:

Rated 5 out of 5 by Redrbnhd Loved the bed
It was a nice,clean and comfy room. The staff was great and location was excellent...The only problem we and lots of others had was the parking garage,it was free parking but kept trying to charge you every time you exit. It became a real drag cause we and others would be delayed about a minute wrestling with it and cars started to back up with each motorist. These things happen but we will return.

I loved the King size bed, and the ability to close the French doors and have privacy while my kids enjoyed the Queen size bed and their own flat screen TV. I enjoyed the pool and fitness center, plus the free breakfast buffet every morning. All the staff at this hotel are wonderful and attentive.

All staff and customer service was truly 5 stars, no complaint.
However, the hotel facility is a bit dated, hallways old and dark, room card reader requires several tries (even with replaced cards). The website pictures of the rooms are misleading. Rooms are dated but still clean.

Rated 4 out of 5 by David9906 Sheration Surprise
Nice hotel w/spacious room suites. I found the staff to be accommodating to most of our needs. Restaurant breakfast was excellent, fresh fruit, breads, eggs, bacon sausage, etc. Three drawbacks for me: 1) When I called for extra towels the first night none were delivered, we left a note for the maid and she ignored our request. When I called back on day two the towels were delivered 2) The indoor/outdoor pool was supposed to be heated and it was cold, also the water needed some filtering. 3) It is a pet friendly hotel and there needs to be a separation by floor for pet lovers those who are not. My daughter was frightened by a man with a dog in the elevator.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jewls needs improvement
the shuttle was not running on time. I got downstairs for a 1:oo shuttle ten mins early. waited, it didn't show at 1:00 1:05 asked the desk. said it would be here. 1:10 asked her to find out what was going on as I needed to be at the Cobb for a 1:15 class. She said she didn't know what he was doing. Not answering page. At 1:15 she told me I should START WALKING. I WAS NOT HAPPY.
I left to start walking, then the shuttle showed up.
Breakfast seating was difficult, I was left standing for a long time before any one even acknowledged I was waiting to be seated. Then fruit, bowls, spoons often left not refilled and had to wait for that.
Another thing My room key did not work right. Had to get new ones. Things did not run smooth.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Guest58 Not Worth Being a Preferred Guest
This is supposed to be an upscale hotel or at least an upgrade to a motel. I thought preferred guest status would make me a special guest. This was the worst stay I've ever had at a hotel. Slack in services and no follow-up from staff. The front desk manager did not take any accountability for this just gave the excuse that they are short staffed expecting me to deal with it. Stayed on a preferred guest floor--very quiet and cold floor. If your preferred guest checked in stating there for business, then should not have put the noisiest guests attending an event next door. All other surrounding guests have peace and quiet on door.
Really liked the bathroom with toiletries and extra mirrors, but the plumbing needs an update in our room.

you need to make sure you follow requirements to the tee or you will not get your extra points for being green. was very disappointed that i did not qualify because i hung the do not disturb sign instead of the "green" sign. I gave up room refreshing for nothing. Will not happen again because i will find other places to stay

The hotel is located in a great spot for easy access to all Atlanta and surrounding attractions but in a safe part of the metro area. Everything about the hotel is great but particularly the service. The staff at this hotel is exceptional. They went all out to make us feel welcomed and comfortable.
I'm happy we found this place.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Debdot Rating Sheraton
I and my guest enjoyed the comforting beds and furniture in the suites. The rooms were clean and welcoming.
The hospitality room where my family met each other was set up beautifully. The registration tables were roomy and allowed easy access for family members to pick up their bags and name tags.
The couple of areas where there were issues. It took a while for me to get okay to
go ahead and bring food etc. up to the hospitality room to get set up. There were no carts there so we had to carry everything up manually ourselves. Also, some of my family members had problems checking in. On Sunday morning, July 21, two of my relatives needed to eat as soon as possible before leaving for their trip but breakfast was not ready. This was at 7:00am when breakfast was supposed to be ready. He was told by the kitchen manager that the cook didn't come in and that breakfast wouldn't be ready until 9:00am. It was actually ready by about 8:15 but people had to wait a long time for the grits. The server staff was stressed as well. They tried but you could tell they were struggling. There were a lot of people because of several reunions going on besides just the regular crowd.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Naz324 Not so pleasant stay....
We were driving back from our Disney vacation, and made a reservation for 2 rooms at this hotel a few months back. We checked in on 7-19, after driving for 7.5 hours from Disney, and very disappointed with the rooms that we got. One room (922) had burns on the carpet (by the sofa. The doorstop was ripped off the carpeting as well (I took pictures). We pulled out the sofabed and I sat down on the edge, and the bed came down due to a bad frame. The other room (1117) also had (minor) issues. The slow drainage in the shower stall, and the nasty stain on the comforter. I know this hotel is Category 2, but I stayed at other Cat.2 hotels under the SPG umbrella, and we haven't had any bad experience like this one. Sorry for the bad review...

We stayed here Friday until Sunday and had an absolutely amazing time. The room was large and clean with possibly the best bed I've ever slept in. The mall and lots of delicious restaurants were just steps away!
The only drawbacks for us was that two large family reunions were going on so the hotel was very crowded. The pool was also small and pretty chilly and we didn't get to use it due to how crowded it was. Other than that it was a nice stay and we will return.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Boo54 Embarrassing to say the least
I purchases tickets to attend a show at the cobb energy centre for my husbands birthday. Instead of driving back home after the show, we booked the cobb theater package room here. I asked for a room with a view and not a parking lot. I was told the view was of the cobb center. The view was of Costcos parking lot. The room was getting warmer, we closed the curtains and still warmer. Went down to the desk and they said the a/c had gone out but was working on it .. NO APOLOGY AT ALL ... we got ready for the concert in a warm room. went down for the shuttle at 7 ... told the desk we were there for the shuttle .. at 7 10 i go back inside. the clerk goes to some guy sitting at a desk and said i needed a shuttle. he had to print directions off. the shuttle was filthy. the concert ended at 10 15, called the hotel and was told the shuttle stopped at 10. WHAT? two things . how can you advertise the theater package and not include transportation to get you back to your room? and how can you leave your guest stranded? I would have done the right thing and found a way to pick up my guest. From a/c going out, to having to go back inside to get the shuttle, or we would have stood there, to leaving us stranded, then we have the final bill paid.. get home to an email with approx 25 dollars added to our card. I called and reached voice mail . This is a joke of a hotel. I can look past the musty smell, the old decor , the toilet filled up to the top and took forever to flush, the sink that filled up and took forever to drain ..but i can't be forgiving of poor customer service.
