Hoosier Report
After suffering a four-game sweep at the hands of Michigan last weekend, the Cream and Crimson return home for its final series of the season versus Purdue. The Hoosiers own a 126-109-2 advantage in the all-time series against the Boilermakers.
Prior to the U-M series, Indiana took three out of four games against Michigan State. Senior right fielder Joe Kemp concluded an unbelievable weekend by being named co-Big Ten Player of the Week. The award was the third of his career, his second of the season and the fourth for a Hoosier this year (junior left fielder Jay Brant and junior designated hitter Zach Boswell).
Kemp hit for the cycle for the first time in his career in the series-opening 15-2 victory over the Spartans. During his sophomore season, the senior just missed the cycle by a single against Ohio State (April 19, 2002). Kemp closed the series batting an astounding .600 (9-for-15) with two homers, 11 RBI, nine runs, two triples, two doubles, one steal and a 1.400 slugging percentage.
The Hoosier bats and arms were working in unison in the club's three wins versus MSU. Indiana plated at least 10 runs in all three of the victories, while the pitching staff held the Spartans to three or fewer runs in each of the wins.
Junior right-hander Josh Lewis went seven innings in the first contest, allowing only one run. He struck out six and did not allow a walk during his outing. Offensively, junior first baseman Ryan Parker had three singles, while Boswell was 2-of-4 with four RBI and Brant finished 2-of-4 with four runs scored.
In IU's final two wins, sophomore Matt Saba and senior Steve Nielsen started their first Big Ten ballgames of the season and came up big. Saba earned the victory in the team's 5-3 triumph in game three, while Nielsen secured the win in the 11-3 series finale.
Along with the aforementioned starters, sophomore Joe Trucchio carded his team-leading fourth save in game three, and junior Adam Poole recorded his first career save in game four.
Inside Purdue
Purdue enters the final week of the regular season in second place in the Big Ten with a 14-10 record and hold a 22-27 overall mark. The Boilermakers sit behind first-place Illinois (19-9) and ahead of third-place Minnesota (16-12) and Iowa (16-12). Prior to the Indiana series, the Boilers split a pair of non-conference games in Cleveland, Ohio, against Cleveland State.
Last weekend, Purdue took three out of four in West Lafayette, Ind., against Iowa to leapfrog into the second spot. After dropping the opening contest of the series, the Boilermakers bounced back with wins in each of the final three games.
Shortstop Mitch Hilligoss carried Purdue, batting .474 (9-for-19) in the set en route to being named co-Big Ten Player of the Week. The sophomore drove in three runs, including the game-winning tally, to produce an 8-7 triumph in game two. He added three more RBI and runs in two more victories, capping the final win with a two-run homer.
For the year, Hilligoss leads the team with a .401 batting average, which also ranks third in the Big Ten, and has hit three home runs with 33 RBI and 44 runs scored.
As a team, Purdue is last in the league in hitting with a .288 average, fifth in pitching with a 4.78 ERA and fifth in fielding percentage at .965.
Senior Scott Byrnes leads the Boilermaker pitching staff with a team-high five wins in nine decisions and a team-best 4.06 ERA. The right-hander has struck out 50 batters in 68 2/3 innings pitched, walking 20 and allowing 31 earned runs.
Seniors Bid Farewell
Six Hoosiers will play their final home games at Sembower Field this weekend and will be honored prior to Sunday's season finale. Third baseman Corby Heckman, right fielder Joe Kemp, pitchers Brian Lortz, Steve Nielsen and Dan Pezley, and catcher Kurt Weigle will bid farewell to the Hoosier faithful on Sunday.
Unbeatable After Eight
If the Cream and Crimson hold a lead after eight innings, it is almost a sure bet to end in a victory. The Hoosiers have led 20 times through eight innings and are a perfect 20-0 in those ballgames.
Additionally, IU is nearly flawless when scoring 10 or more runs in a contest. In 14 games in which this has occurred, Indiana holds an imposing 13-1 mark.
Kemp Goes For The Cycle
In IU'S 15-2 rout of Michigan State on May 6, Joe Kemp hit for the cycle for the first time in his career. During his sophomore season, the senior just missed the cycle by a single against Ohio State (April 19, 2002). Kemp closed the Michigan State (May 6-8) series batting an astounding .600 (9-for-15) with two homers, 11 RBI, nine runs, two triples, two doubles, one steal and a 1.400 slugging percentage en route to co-Big Ten Player of the Week honors. The award was the third of his career, his second of the season and the fourth for a Hoosier this year (juniors Jay Brant and Zach Boswell).
Saba, Nielsen Step Up
Making their first Big Ten starts of the season versus Michigan State, sophomore Matt Saba and senior Steve Nielsen gave the Hoosiers' pitching staff a much-needed lift. For the first time this year, the two pitchers led IU to victories in the final two games of a Big Ten series.
Saba gave up three earned runs in 4 1/3 innings to pick up his fifth victory of the season against the Spartans (May 8), while Nielsen tossed five innings of two-run ball the following day in an 11-3 win. The start also was Nielsen's first since the final game of the 2004 season against Purdue (May 22).
Back In The Winner's Circle
Taking three out of four games against Michigan State (May 6-8), the Cream and Crimson earned its first Big Ten series victory in six attempts this season. The first time the Hoosiers have won a Big Ten set since the squad won two out of three games against Northwestern on May 16-18, 2003.
Topping The Leaderboard
When it comes to offense, the Cream and Crimson are near the top of the Big Ten in almost every category. Entering this week, teams are staring up at the Hoosiers in several of the league's hitting statistical rankings. IU leads the conference with 379 runs, 566 hits, 97 doubles, 20 triples and 206 walks. The Hoosiers rank second in the Big Ten with a .319 batting average and 82 stolen bases. Contributing to the team's offensive dominance, Hoosier players hold the top three spots in runs (juniors Jay Brant and Reggie Watson along with senior Joe Kemp), the first and second slots in hits (Brant and Watson) and three of the top five spots in RBI (Kemp, junior Zach Boswell and junior Ryan Parker).
Big Ten Leaders
Individually, junior Jay Brant leads the conference with 79 hits and 71 runs scored, while Watson is right behind him in second place with 77 hits and 59 runs. Brant also is second in the league with 26 stolen bases, while senior Joe Kemp is second with 63 RBI and third with 10 home runs and 118 total bases. In league games only, Watson sits atop the Big Ten with 33 runs, is tied with Brant for the lead with 13 stolen bases and is second with 42 hits. Brant is three runs behind Watson, tied for second.
On the mound, junior Josh Lewis is tied for fourth in the conference with seven victories, tied for fifth with 59 strikeouts and seventh with 69 2/3 innings pitched.
Lewis Sets Career High
Earning the victory in IU's 10-1 win over Ohio State on April 29, hurler Josh Lewis set a new career high with his sixth win. The junior also has a career-best 50 strikeouts and is on his way to setting a new career mark in innings. He currently sits at 62 2/3 innings pitched, 3 1/3 shy of the 66 frames he threw last season.
Hynes Back On The Mound
For the first time this season, sophomore Chris Hynes toed the rubber against Ball State on April 19. The right-hander tossed 2/3 of an inning versus the Cardinals. It was Hynes' first appearance since suffering an injury in the opening series of the 2004 season.
Career Firsts For Trio
Three pitchers earned career firsts last week against Miami (Ohio) on April 13 and Iowa on April 17. Facing the Hawkeyes, junior southpaw Adam Poole pitched two innings and gave up a pair of runs en route to his first victory as a Hoosier, and freshman right-hander Chris McCombs scored his first career save. McCombs came in for Poole and tossed the final four innings of one-hit ball, surrendering one earned run and striking out three.
In the victory over Miami, senior Joe Kemp fired a scoreless ninth to earn his first career save. Returning to the rubber for the first time since 2002, Kemp has made six appearances on the season and holds a 1.69 ERA.
Streaking Hoosiers
Junior Jay Brant had his 19-game hitting streak snapped against Minnesota (April 8), failing to collect a hit in two at-bats after leaving the game in the fifth inning with a broken jaw. The Indianapolis native's run was the team's longest this season, besting junior Ryan Parker's 15-gamer and senior Joe Kemp's 14-game streak.
During the run, Brant hit a remarkable .488 (40-for-82) with two homers, 19 RBI, 34 runs and eight doubles. He also stole 12 bases in 13 attempts in the stretch.
Ironman Returns To Field
In the series opener against Minnesota (April 8), junior Jay Brant suffered a broken jaw and was forced to leave the game in the bottom of the fifth inning. However, the junior was back in the line up the next two days, playing the final three games of the series in left field instead of his normal second base spot.
Upon his return, Brant wrapped up the series 5-for-11 with one RBI, five runs, two steals, one double and one triple.
Lewis Racking Up The K's
Josh Lewis turned in a career performance against Longwood on March 26. Pitching in the first game of the doubleheader, the junior struck out a career-high 10 Lancers, breaking his old high of seven vs. Northwestern on March 22, 2003. Lewis followed that performance with eight more strikeouts against Northwestern (April 3), earning his fifth victory in five decisions in the team's Big Ten opener. In the two starts, the Mt. Airy, Md., native struck out 18 batters while walking only two in 13 1/3 innings.
Season-Best Performance
Picking up season-high offensive totals, Indiana earned a 24-9 victory over Shawnee State on March 30. IU registered season-bests in hits with 22 and runs with 24, eclipsing the
previous highs of 21 hits and 17 runs set against Illinois State on March 15.
Additionally, sophomore Bobby Segal registered his first career hit, RBI and run in the ballgame. The Indianapolis native cleared the bases with a pinch-hit triple to left center field and scored on an infield single by freshman David Trager.
Big Ten Players Of The Week
With their efforts on the Hoosiers' spring break trip (March 12-20), juniors Jay Brant and Zach Boswell earned Big Ten Player of the Week selections. Brant picked up his first career honor on March 15, and Boswell scored his first accolade on March 21. The duo joins Joe Kemp, who was selected the conference Player of the Week on March 1, as winners of the award in 2005.
Shooting Blanks
The Indiana pitching staff recorded a pair of shutouts over spring break (March 12-20), blanking Yale, 8-0, on March 14 to go along with a 9-0 whitewashing of St. Francis-NY on March 21. With the shutouts, the Hoosiers now have four on the 2005 campaign, the most since the 2003 club recorded five.
IU also shut out Arkansas-Little Rock, 16-0, on March 6, and closed out DePauw, 5-0, in its season opener on Feb. 22.
Florida was very good to the Cream and Crimson, especially for three newcomers. Sophomore Joe Trucchio earned his first Division I win against Illinois State (March 15) and later in the trip picked up his first Division I save vs. Kent State (March 19).
Offensively, freshmen Arden McWilliams and David Trager collected their first collegiate hits against St. Francis-NY (March 20). Trager also netted his first RBI against the Terriers.
Breaking Into The Win Column
A pair of freshman earned their first career victories at the Gent Classic. Freshman Chris McCombs fired three scoreless innings, giving up one hit with two punchouts against Centenary (March 4) as the Hoosiers rallied for a 4-3 win.
Brad Davidson joined McCombs after throwing five scoreless innings in IU's 16-0 win over Arkansas-Little Rock (March 6). The Novelty, Ohio, native held the Trojans to two hits in addition to striking out six batters.
All-Tournament Team
After posting a 2-1 record at the Service Academy Classic (Feb. 25-27), senior Joe Kemp and junior Zach Boswell were selected to the all-tournament team. Kemp concluded the event 5-for-13 with two home runs, six RBI and four runs scored. In addition, the lefty picked up his first victory on the mound since the 2002 season, earning the win in Indiana's extra-inning triumph over Memphis (Feb. 26).
Boswell crushed his first two home runs in a Hoosier uniform to go along with a pair of doubles and four runs scored. He ended the weekend 5-for-14 for a .357 average.
Shutting The Door
The Hoosiers' 5-0 shutout victory over DePauw (Feb. 22) was the first for Indiana since a 4-0 victory on March 4 of last season at Butler. It also was IU's first season-opening shutout since a 6-0 win against Findlay on Feb. 28, 2003, and first home season-opening shutout since Feb. 18, 2002, a 15-0 victory over Taylor.
Return To The Bump
For the first time since his sophomore season in 2002, Joe Kemp toed the rubber in a regular-season game. The fifth-year senior closed out IU's 5-0 season-opening victory over DePauw (Feb. 22) with a scoreless ninth inning. Kemp struck out three of the four batters he faced, walking one. In game two at the Service Academy Classic, Kemp notched his first win since 2002, as the Hoosiers defeated Memphis, 9-8, in 10 innings on Feb. 26.

Today's government data center networks are under tremendous pressure to increase efficiencies, improve agility and scale – all while budget constraints continue to place great stress on IT organizations. However, there are obvious limitations. Application architectures, server virtualization and storage technology have evolved over time, but the network did not keep pace. The result is complex, costly and inefficient data center networks that are not cloud-ready.
Many organizations today have started applying the lessons of the cloud to their data centers. In turn, they are seeing the benefits of a more efficient, agile and scalable environment. How did they do it? What steps need to be taken to start the journey to the cloud?
Join Juniper Networks' Chief Security Architect Christofer Hoff as he walks through the different cloud environments and describes the necessary steps to create a cloud-ready data center. Hoff will provide insight into how to fundamentally simplify the network and enable agencies to quickly roll out new applications and services.

List of the medals of Spain Compilation from a number of references by Jean-Paul LeBlanc
Ed Emering
The Order of the Golden Fleece (Toison D'or) is one of the most knightly and ancient in Europe, and at first consisted of 24 knights only. It was instituted on 10 January 1429-30 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgandy, on the day of his marriage with Isabella of Portugal at Bruges. The Order became common to the princes of the house of Austria as descendants of Mary, daughter of Charles the Bold, last Duke of Burgundy, who married Maximilian of Austria in 1477. It came to Spain in 1504 on the accession of Philip, Maximilian's son, to the throne of Castile. The Order had one class only. The Order, essentially aristocratic, was reserved for crowned heads, heads of foreign states, and Spaniards of noble birth. (Ref: Ribbons and Medals by Taprell Dorling)
Order of Charles III - Pictured here is the Badge of the Order of Charles III (Muy Disinguida Orden de Carlos III). The Order was institued on 19th September 1771, dissolved in 1809 by Joseph Bonaparte, and reinstituted in 1814 by King Ferdinand VII. After being again dissolved and reinstituted several times, it was finally re-established and provided with new statutes on 10th May 1942. The Order may be conferred on Spaniards and on foreigners for outstanding services to the Fatherland. The Spanish Head of State is the Grand Master of the Order. The Order has fives classes: Grand Cross with Collar, Grand Cross, Commander by Number, Commander and Knight The ribbon of the Order is light blue with a wide white centre stripe. The sash of the Grand Cross with Collar is blue with narrow white border stripes. (Ref: Orders, Medals and Decorations of Britain and Europe by Paul Hieronymussen).
Order of Isabella the Catholic - Often called the Royal American Order of Isabella the Catholic, was founded on March 24, 1815, by Ferdinand VII, as a reward for loyalty either in the kingdom or in the American colonies of Spain. Later it was awarded for merit. It was placed under the patronage of St. Isabella (1451-1504), surnamed la Catolica, Queen of Castile and wife of Ferdinand of Aragon. It was during the reign of Isabella the Catholic that Columbus discovered America, and during the reign of Ferdinand VII, the founder of this order, that Florida was sold to the United States (1819), and that most of the other American colonies were lost to Spain. One of the objects in establishing this order, apparently, was to reward certain of the American colonial officials and dignitaries. There are five grades: Grand Cross, Commander with plaque, Commander, Chevalier and Chevalier of the Silver Cross. Some authorities state that a silver medal of the order was given to a number of the American Indian subjects, though this is not confirmed. A sixth class was instituted in April, 1907, by Alphonso XIII, consisting of silver and bronze medals, 32mm. in diameter, bearing on the obverse a replica of the cross without the rays, and on the reverse the crowned monogram of Ferdinand VII. To judge from the varieties of this decoration, they were very generously bestowed and not very highly valued. (Ref: Spanish Orders of Chivalry and Decorations of Honour by Harrold E. Gillingham)

|Patterson awarded one of Spain's highest honours King Juan Carlos of Spain bestowed on outgoing prime minister, P J Patterson, the award of the Grand Cross of the National Order of Civil Merit, one of Spain's highest awards. "This is in recognition of Mr Patterson's 14 years as head of the government of Jamaica and his tireless efforts aimed at strengthening the relations between Spain and Caricom as well as his outstanding contribution to regional integration and the peaceful political stability of Jamaica and the countries of the Caribbean," said a Jamaica House statement. Patterson, Jamaica House said, was also recognised by Spain for helping to deepen the relations between that country and Jamaica, specifically in recent times, for his encouragement of Spanish investments in Jamaica, which will result in the creation of over 12,000 new direct jobs for the Jamaican economy. jamaicaobserver.com 30 Mar 06

In a gesture that thumbs its nose at modern turbocharged technology, the small-block lives on under the bonnet of the modern V-8 Super Tourer. Although tuners can do almost anything to the induction system to extract around 650 horsepower from their injected, de-stroked small-blocks, there are no overhead camshafts or aluminium LS1 motors in these cars. Blocks must be cast-iron and components must bear a Chevrolet or Ford part number to be legal.
The superior speed of the Chevy-powered Holden Racing Team brought the factory Commodores of Craig Lowndes and series leader Mark Skaife home in a 1-2 finish in Sunday's 53-lap feature race in Canberra-just ahead of Glen Seton's Ford Falcon.
In true "run what you brung tradition," the race-winning cars of Lowndes, Skaife, and Seton have exactly the same sheetmetal as the family sedans that many spectators drove to the track. High-tech and European means nothing to these people; these thousands came to see a Chevy versus Ford tussle fought out on the streets of their national capital. No doubt they'll be back next year proudly bearing their allegiance in Holden or Ford team jackets-which just goes to show that when two sides go to war, passion and tradition will always win out over technology.

And they're off! The 13 couples of Dancing With the Stars Season 15 All-Stars are busy rehearsing for the Monday, September 24 premiere. What are they dancing? Everyone is doing Cha-Cha-Cha or Foxtrot, but info is still trickling in via Twitter or interviews about who is doing what.

Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa Review

Families will love:
- Beautiful stretch of beach, monitored by lifeguards
- Spacious suites with full kitchens and Gulf-view balconies
- Close proximity to restaurants and local attractions
About Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa
Look at it from certain angles and you may as well be at a Mediterranean resort. Walk the beach and your mind goes to the Caribbean, but look at the numerous happy children engaged in group activities and you know that you're at a Hyatt Regency; in this case, the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa.
The Hyatt Regency was one of the first major hotel chains to embrace children with Camp Hyatt, and the staff members goes out of their way to ensure children have a fun -- and safe -- vacation experience.
The 250-room hotel is the only waterfront Hyatt on Florida's west coast, and the calm, turquoise Gulf of Mexico waters, coupled with a soft, pristine, white sandy beach, make it a perfect family vacation or even a brief qetaway. In fact, we met several families who live in nearby Tampa and often come for a few days of R&R because they not only love the family-oriented hotel amenities, but also the spacious suites with gourmet kitchens.
"We come here maybe once every two months just to get away but still be close," a poolside Tampa mother told us. "It has all the great kid's activities of a hotel, but the homey feel of a condo. It's the best of both [worlds]. As soon as I walk into the lobby, I relax. And, I don't have to clean up like I would in a condo. We can cook, which saves money, and the refrigerator is big enough to put large wine bottles in, along with milk."
Clearwater Beach is a 3-mile-long, 3-block barrier island that offers a world-class beach, a wide variety of hotel and condo options, as well as the mandatory tourist t-shirt shops, dolphin-sighting cruises and restaurants that compete for the honor of having the best grouper sandwich. Thanks to a$30-million renovation in 2008, there is a delightful Beach Walk, a large palm tree lined walkway, which provides a safe and easy way to walk to activities and just enjoy being outdoors and people watching.
Unlike many other Florida resort areas, Clearwater Beach still has more of a small-town feel to it. High-rise condos do not overwhelm the beach and there are still family-owned hotels nestled next to the Hyatt. It's an eclectic atmosphere where groups of young adults walk into McDonald's only wearing their bathing suits, snowbirds have a cocktail on a restaurant patio and families juggle beach equipment.

Calico Rudasil is a feature columnist for Sssh.com, the web's original erotic site for women by women. With over 16 years' experience of writing about and for the adult entertainment industry under her belt, Calico qualifies as something of a Web Porn Dinosaur; similar to a tyrannosaurus, only with far more attractive arms and a less pronounced overbite.
I have to admit feeling a bit of sympathy for public masturbators, especially when their offense comes in the context of some highly sexualized environment, like the produce section at Safeway, public library bathrooms, or their local Department of Motor Vehicles.
What's so damn sexy about the DMV, you ask? Well, I can only speak for the two that I've had cause to traipse through from time to time, both of which are staffed by some of the hottest ladies and gents this side of The Biggest Loser and use an automated line-management system that includes audio announcements read in a sexy, sultry – at times even slutty – female robot voice.
"Number J337 is now being served at Window 14."
Oh yeah, baby! Let your imagination run wild with what "being served" might entail, and then tell me that you don't get at least a little turned on, especially when Window 14 is being manned by luscious Luis, a 40-something, balding Latino stud who still almost fits into the industrial strength office chair that's wedged diagonally into his cubicle.
I don't know about the rest of you ladies, but I get moist just thinking about the intoxicating smell inside the DMV, an arousing bouquet that blends the Windex-like aroma of carpet shampoo with a manly whiff of body odor and the faintest, fading hint of a 5-layer burrito from Taco Bell.
Hell, the DMV even has its own photo studio, and I hear that even the biggest names in Hollywood all go there to get their headshots done. Granted, the DMV headshots are rarely as hot as the ones taken at the police station, but still, we all know how much people love jerking off to celebrity pics!
Sure, it might sick out some of your fellow DMV denizens if you whip out your cock for a stroke while you wait to submit your title transfer paperwork, but what's a horny fellow supposed to do when surrounded by all those sensual anti-drunk driving posters and mouthwatering MILFs ensconced behind plexiglass shields just like plus-sized strippers in a coin-operated peepshow booth?
Guys like Edward Alvin aren't made of stone, after all, and sometimes when your naughty nature calls, there's just no time to slip away to the men's room – especially when can't afford taking the chance of losing your place in line to Number J338!
Obviously, society in general – and the government in particular – share some of the blame here. Just like a certain courageous Mayor who understood that it's insane to expect New Yorkers to abstain from buying 128-ounce cups of Mountain Dew and acted with aplomb to remove that temptation by force of law, legislatures across the country need to step and de-sex the DMV. No more low-cut moomoos or time-ravaged tramp-stamps on display, an end to the eating of hot dogs, bananas and popsicles in plain view, and for God's sake replace that sexy robot voice with an old-school Stephen Hawking-style voice aide!
Even if DMV de-sexing isn't in the cards, I say we give Ed a masturbatory mulligan on this particular stroke. I mean, it's not like he does this sort of thing all the time, like some people.

SOME skin conditions fluoresce under ultraviolet light. In principle, this allows doctors to distinguish healthy areas from damaged skin. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority at Didcot, Oxfordshire, is patenting a diagnostic tool that will make this approach more practical (UK 2 293 648).
To observe the fluorescence, the room must usually be dark, but the new system allows doctors to keep the lights on.
The idea relies on a fast video camera of the type used to capture sports action without blurring. It shoots the usual 50 images each second, but only captures the image during a short period of each shot. Capture is triggered by a pulse generated inside the camera. The system also takes advantage of the fact that the skin's fluorescence lags a few milliseconds behind the UV illumination.
The camera pulse is used to trigger a powerful flash of UV light from a xenon tube. ...

Welcome to DTIDTI is a specialty chemical contract manufacturer working with leading chemical and consumer companies worldwide. DTI recognizes the value of close cooperation and joint innovation, and specializes in finding solutions to difficult chemical problems. As a leading chemical toller we believe in safe plant operations and total client confidentiality.
High ViscositySpecialty adhesives have seen substantial growth in the past 5 years. This product line requires powerful processing equipment to drive the high viscosity process through its "phase change" from low viscosity to high viscosity, paste or powder and has shown a strong fit with horizontal reactors. DTI has positioned itself with a number of key manufacturers and emerging technologies to provide a unique solution to this growth segment.
Feed AdditivesFeed Additives are introduced directly to animals in either the infancy stages or throughout the animal's life cycle. The market consists primarily of poultry, beef/dairy, swine, and companion animals. Feed additives help animals to grow faster and healthier, which increases meat or milk production yields per animal.
Rapid ResponseEven in tough economies certain companies find success and need to expand rapidly to meet large increases in product sales. The ability to respond can often require the need for a rapid, substantial growth in manufacturing volume. DTI can respond quickly to a market surge or manufacturing disaster. Contingency planning is critical to every business and DTI offers a confidential partnership to ensure success when our clients need it. In the past 3 years most of our clients have completed detailed manufacturing assessments to determine their core manufacturing competencies and DTI has become a strong compliment when the need for additional capacity is needed.
Product/Process DevelopmentChemical Intermediates enjoy a strong value proposition in the key segments they serve. Protected by trade secrets and long application development cycles, these products maintain a high selling price. They are somewhat protected from low cost product substitution because of stringent standards of product performance, application development complexities, and testing and qualification cycles. Offshore manufacturing has proven risky for many manufacturers who strive to protect their technical advantages with trade secrets enabling a "sweet spot" for US contract manufacturers with unique processing capabilities. DTI has a proven track record with many makers and suppliers of chemical intermediates.
Productivity IncreasesIncreasing plant productivity is a continual challenge for many chemical manufacturers. DTI has used its experience with horizontal reactor technology to turn multistep syntheses into "one-pot" processes, saving its customers considerable time and expense. From plant debottlenecking to capital optimization, DTI is here to help our customers increase their overall plant productivity.

We are currently expanding both our facilities and capabilities to offer rapid response, flexibility, technical support, and cost efficient manufacturing services.
We're Growing
DTI is pleased to announce the opening of our Advanced Technology Center (ATC) which has been designed as a semi-works facility. Semi-works production will allow DTI to develop new processes, utilizing a state of the art technology, which employs horizontal reactors that challenge a process from a viscosity or liquid state to a solid phase transition. With our GMP background, we have also made the facility capable of supporting GMP process development and semi-works operations with full laboratory support.
Our new Advanced Technology Center (ATC) adds capacity and scale up opportunities to our current Littleford fleet of 4000 liter, 6000 liter, 10,000 liter, and 15,000 liter reactors. Should your processing needs require horizontal reactors and/or GMP processing, please give us a call.

Joshua Glover, a freedom seeker, lived and worked in Racine for two years before he was captured in 1854 and jailed in Milwaukee. In Racine, a gathering in the square sent a delegation to Milwaukee, which joined Milwaukee citizens to break open the jail and free Glover. He shuttled on the Underground Railroad throughout Southeastern Wisconsin and finally escaped through Racine harbor on a ship for Canada. Later, a newspaper editor, Sherman Booth, was sentenced and jailed for violating the fugitive slave law for helping Glover. The Wisconsin Supreme Court nullified that law and refused to conform with Federal law. The eventual formation of the Republican Party was also accelerated by the Glover incident. Today in Racine, the Glover story has been celebrated and re-enacted. The Racine Heritage Museum has had a permanent exhibit about Glover, the Underground Railroad, and the Civil War era in Racine County. The section about Glover and the Underground Railroad was significantly expanded.

Free Speech Icon Makes Stop in Kent on Nationwide TourPosted Sep. 30, 2013
Mary Beth Tinker, who was at the center of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on student rights, will visit Kent State University on Tuesday, Oct. 1, as part of a nationwide civics education tour to American high schools and colleges. She will share her personal story and the significance of the court's decision with its declaration in 1969 that neither teachers nor students "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."
Tinker will speak to students, faculty, staff and community members on Oct. 1 at 9 a.m. in the Kent Student Center Ballroom as part of the Ohio Scholastic Media Association (OSMA) Regional Workshop. The hourlong session is free and open to the public.
"Tinker spoke at our OSMA state convention last year, and her message really inspired those who heard her," says OSMA Director Candace Perkins Bowen, who is also an associate professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and director of the Center for Scholastic Journalism (CSJ) at Kent State.
Tinker was the lead plaintiff in the landmark 1969 U.S. Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. The case arose after she and two other students in Des Moines, Iowa, were suspended for wearing black armbands to school to mourn those who had died in the Vietnam War. The court upheld students' First Amendment right to express themselves nondisruptively in public schools. To this day, the case sets the legal standard for students' free-speech rights.
Today, the Tinker ruling continues to protect students' rights and has been cited by judges in almost 6,000 student cases. It is included in most American civics and history textbooks.
Tinker is traveling the country in a colorful 29-foot RV that is sure to attract the attention of motorists and students alike. In all, the Tinker Tour will visit 19 states and the District of Columbia, including Tinker's own junior high school in Des Moines, where it all began. The goal of the Tinker Tour is to bring real-life civics lessons to schools and communities through Tinker's story and those of other young people.
Accompanying Tinker on the tour is Mike Hiestand, who has written and lectured extensively on legal issues affecting the student media and worked for more than 20 years as an attorney for the Student Press Law Center.
"Mary Beth Tinker is one of the most important activists in the nation for the civil rights of young people," says Mark Goodman, Kent State professor and Knight Chair in Scholastic Journalism. "It's a great honor for Kent State to be able to host her and Mike Hiestand as they travel the nation this fall."
The Student Press Law Center (SPLC), www.splc.org, is the presenting sponsor of the tour. The SPLC is a nonprofit organization with nearly 40 years of experience supporting youth voices and is assisting the tour with organizational and promotional assistance. The SPLC is an advocate for, and provides programming in the areas of, student First Amendment rights, for transparency in government, for youth civic engagement and for online civility.
The tour has the endorsement of dozens of education and civil-liberties organizations, including the NAACP, the Journalism Education Association, the Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools, the American Constitution Society, the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Constitution Center and many more. Both the Ohio Scholastic Media Association and Center for Scholastic Journalism at Kent State helped to fund the Tinker Tour.
For more information on the Tinker Tour, visit www.tinkertourusa.org. The tour can also be followed on Twitter at #tinkertour and on Facebook at TinkerTour.
For more information about the Tinker Tour stop at Kent State, contact Bowen at 330-672-8297 or Goodman at 330-672-6239.

You know I also agree with everything you have said.
The funny thing is, with all these people saying that it's too early - they are obviously people that don't like Alberto Del Rio - but isn't that EXACTLY what his character is suppose to do?
He is a heel after all. I think that everyone who says "No" for Alberto, is playing right into his character and the response he is looking for.
I love his character, I love that he won the Rumble, and I can't wait to see how WMXXVII develops....Big thumbs up to WWE for giving some new blood the spotlight.
All I need now is to be able to buy some ADR merchandise! Where are the white scarfs WWE?
cm punk should of won the rumble and orton the chamber then the two at mania why on earth is miz vs cena happening over an orton vs punk match ?!!! ??!!!!??!
Heres to the rebirth of jbl,just kidding i like the guy needs another finisher with the arm bar as we all know the top guys in wwe wont be tapping out any time soon but good luck to the character at least we u all hate him right of the bat go alberto del riooooooooooooooooo
The guy's boring as hell.
What's even funnier is that when Triple H does return the IWC is gonna start bitching about him being on top and etc. And etc. Lol. As an IWC we sure are fuckking funny
I don't see any problem whatever with Del Rio winning. He was ready, and has been ready since he arrived in WWE. I am very much looking forward to his first championship reign in WWE.
now that's the truth

It was an idea to help veterans inspired by Beth Hickman after couple of visits.
First, to her own father who was a military veteran just before he passed and several other veterans while she volunteered at the local VA.
Beth Hickman, Home For Dinner Founder, "The more I listened to their story, the more I wanted to do something to make a small difference to say thank you."
For nearly 2 years now, the service-based nonprofit Home for Dinner has helped veterans by providing $50 gift cards to service men and woman to partnering restaurants.
Hickman said, "The first gift card was giving out in November and since that time we've helped 430 vets here in Benton County."
The nonprofit has a goal of serving 500 military veterans this year.
All veterans have to do is drop by one of the nonprofit 2 locations with their drivers license and a few forms of ID, including their military identification for the one-time gift card.
"A vet will come in and say oh this is so wonderful it's my anniversary or I couldn't have done this any other way," said Hickman.
For Beth, the appreciation shown by veterans make it all worth while.
And she hopes serves as an inspiration to others.
Hickman said, "Such a blessing to give back to them when they have given us so much. We can make a difference in a big way one person at a time."

Edward James Olmos claims 'Green Hornet' role
Seth Rogen's "Green Hornet" is getting a little extra help from the admiral.
Edward James Olmos, who played Admiral Adama on television's "Battlestar Galactica" reboot, is joining the cast of Rogen's superhero update. Hollywood Snitch tracked down the actor at Chicago's Wizard World sci-fi convention, and got a vague scoop on Olmos' upcoming project.
Vote for Admiral Adama as one of television's greatest characters.
"I'm on my way to do 'The Green Hornet,'" Olmos told the site. "It'll be a lot of fun with Seth [Rogen], Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz."
Unfortunately, that's all he would say, though based on his work for the series "Miami Vice," we can see Olmos stepping into the shoes of a gruff but caring police captain.
The movie is scheduled to hit theaters in July 2010.

New Weight Watchers spokesperson Ana Gasteyer sings Sleeveless to the tune of the classic jazz number "Fever," with lyrics that include how she can now hail a cab without watching her arm fat jiggle. Weight Watchers
Some celebrities get endorsement deals based on their fame or looks or for a personality that will bring an edgier vibe to a brand. Ana Gasteyer, a former Saturday Night Live cast member, got her deal with Weight Watchers by making jokes on Twitter about her experiences with the company's weight loss plan.
Gasteyer, who now stars in the ABC series Suburgatory, will appear in a new spring ad campaign that is set to launch on Sunday, Weight Watchers announced today. The campaign was initially supposed to feature Jessica Simpson, but had to shift gears on timing after Simpson announced that she was pregnant again.
Here are some of Gasteyer's gig-winning tweets, notes the New York Times:
"Hey @Weightwatchers," Ms. Gasteyer wrote on November 30. "How many Activity points for sweatily trying to get out of a Spanx undershirt?"
On December 10, she wrote, "Hey @WeightWatchers I binged on Children's Gummy Vites can it be my cheat day?"
The company's social media team discovered the tweets and executives realized that the actress was a real online member, who was obviously following the plan despite her zany zingers. Sean Bryan, a chief creative officer at McCann Erickson New York, the advertising agency for Weight Watchers (NYSE: WTW), told the Times that the move from tweeting about a company to becoming its spokesperson just might be a first.
"I don't know of any other time that a celebrity was identified as a user of a product through their tweets and then enlisted as a spokesperson because of that," he said.
We bet she won't be the last.
Her latest tweet: "BREAKING: Unseemly @weightwatchers obsession becomes fun job."
Check out her performance of "Sleeveless set to the tune of Fever below.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

Another bad day for A. J. Dorn
On this day in 1884, Andrew Jackson Dorn lost his bid to become a congressional assistant doorkeeper. Dorn had served in a volunteer company in the Mexican War and afterward in the regular army. Although he claimed to have achieved the rank of colonel and to have remained in the U.S. Army until the outbreak of the Civil War, he was in fact mustered out of federal service in 1848. He did serve with the Confederate military, and after the war moved to Bonham, Texas. In 1873, he was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Texas state treasurer. Dorn was elected on Richard Coke's ticket, but when he appointed his son as chief clerk of the treasury, the Herald attacked him for nepotism, "one of the most odious of all political abuses." Dorn was reelected in 1876 and remained in office until 1879. In 1883, unemployed, he went to Washington, D.C., seeking Samuel Bell Maxey's aid in finding a government job. "He is the most helpless man I know," wrote Maxey of Dorn, "an honorable, good man but a fearfully and wonderfully made hanger-on for office." Dorn became one of seven applicants for one of the two assistant-doorkeeper appointments to which the Texas delegation was entitled, but when the appointments were decided by lot on January 3, 1884, he was not chosen. In 1885, the destitute Dorn, with Maxey's influence, was elected as doorkeeper of the state Senate. After his tenure as doorkeeper, Dorn remained in Austin "filling some minor positions in the state departments" until his death in 1889. He was buried in the State Cemetery.

AT&T to begin pre-WiMax trialMarch 13, 2005
WiMax may pose fresh challenge to broadbandFebruary 28, 2005
Intel teams with Chinese firm on WiMaxJanuary 12, 2005
Communications operator Yozan is rolling out 600 AS.MAX base stations from wireless broadband vendor Airspan, enough to provide WiMax connectivity across the central zone of Tokyo. Yozan customers will simply buy the corresponding AS.MAX customer device, a new product that the company claims is the first indoor WiMax equipment that people can install themselves.
Despite the ready availability of broadband in Tokyo, Yozan will sell the service as a cheap alternative for mobile people who do not want to be tied to a contract for a fixed line. "It will be pitched much cheaper than DSL or fiber, for users who don't have a phone at home," said Paul Senior, vice president of marketing at Airspan. "This is a whole new market for wireless broadband."
When consumers move, they can take the WiMax equipment with them and set up in their new location. It can be connected by wire to a PC or, alternatively, customers can add Wi-Fi connectivity.
The service will support the WiMax IEEE 802.16-2004 specification, but the base stations delivering it can be upgraded to mobile WiMax standard IEEE 802.16e, Senior said. "Once there are chips for 802.16e, at the end of 2006, the base stations will just need a software upgrade," he said.
The base stations will have multiple 10MHz channels, each of which can provide a 30mbps peak rate, which will be shared by users within 500 meters of the base station. The frequency it will use is not disclosed. "It's a Japan-specific frequency band, and Yozan needs to complete negotiations to use it," Senior said.
A trial will begin in June. Building of the network will begin in October, and a commercial service is expected to be launched in December. "We are looking to repeat this with other partners in cities like New York or London," Senior said.
Peter Judge of ZDNet UK reported from London.

Here is your Big 12 recap for February 20th:
New Mexico 6 #1 Texas 5
AUSTIN, Texas – Down a run in the final inning to the No. 1 college baseball team in America. At their place! No big deal. These are Ray Birmingham Lobos, who step to the plate with no fear in their heart and fearsome bats in their hands.
What the Lobos/Davids of New Mexico kind of did Saturday in Austin was reach into a back pocket, pull out a slingshot and knock Goliath on his rear in a stunning 6-5 Lobo win.
The first stone out of the Lobo slingshot in the ninth was a Justin Howard solo homer that pushed New Mexico into a 5-all tie.
The Lobos then nailed the win off a Max Willett bomb to deep left field that scored true freshman Devon Conley from third.

California's 2010 California Standards Test scores are in.
Wonder how Oakland stacks up to other districts in Alameda County? Here's a spreadsheet of the districts, sorted from highest to lowest percentages of English and math proficiency. On the second worksheet, you can also see how the scores in each district changed from 2009 to 2010.
OUSD trends: Oakland's public schoolkids scored better than they did the year before. More of them met the state's proficiency goals in reading (41 percent, up 4 points) and math (44 percent, up 5 points), and fewer tested poorly (31 percent scored "below basic" or "far below basic" in reading, and 36 percent did so in math, an improvement of several points).
The district's elementary schools made solid — and in some cases, dramatic — improvement on the California Standards Tests, based on a school-by-school analysis prepared by the district's data whizzes. The middle schools' numbers moved in the right direction, too, especially in math (with the exception of West Oakland Middle School, whose math scores rose spectacularly last year and fell pretty far this year, though not all the way back down).
But the scores remained flat at most of the school district's high schools, particularly those in East and West Oakland. In math, all but four at least 18 of Oakland's high schools have proficiency percentages in the single digits. (As one reader rightly noted, my original count didn't include schools with grades 6-12, which were included in the middle school section.)
Here are some schools whose student proficiency scores went up at least 15 percentage points in reading and/or math. Let me know if I'm missing anyone!
Burckhalter – 15 points in math (71%)
Martin Luther King, Jr. – 15 points in reading (38%)
Manzanita Community School – 17 points in math (61%)
Markham – 22 points in reading (55%), 15 in math (60%)
RISE – 18 points in reading (36%)
Manzanita SEED – 29 points in math (73%)
Maxwell Park – 15 points in math (46%)
Piedmont Avenue – 16 points in math (67%)
Alliance Academy – 15 points in math (32%)
Community Day – 23 points in reading (27%)

Real Housewives of New Jersey
How Much Do the Housewives of Real Housewives of New Jersey Make?
It definitely pays to be on reality TV, and for the ladies of Real Housewives of New Jersey, it pays a lot. Now while these ladies may earn extra income from their own business ventures we see on the show, the RHoNJ cast also receives a hefty check for their appearance during the season.
OK magazine reports that Caroline Manzo, who co-owns Brownstone catering and events with husband Al, earns $400,000 for being on the show. We can only imagine that Caroline will be raking in a lot more dough now that her book, Let Me Tell You Something, has officially launched.
Songbird Melissa Gorga, earns a reported $350,000, which she will undoubtedly be investing in her singing career, and Jacqueline Laurita, who recently denied the reported financial troubles (including back taxes and their house in pre-foreclosure) she and hubby Chris were going through, makes only $275,000.
As for table-flipping, formerly bankrupt Teresa Giudice? She's the top earner of the show blowing all these ladies' paychecks out the water with a reported $650,000! And that's not to mention the additional money Teresa gets from the sale of her four cookbooks, Milania hair care line, and Fabellini beverages!
Looks like Tre is bankrupt, no more!
For more H'wives star earnings, check out OK magazine for the scoop!
