Read Rev. Alison Wohler's welcome message.
Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Society of Amherst. We invite you to explore our principles and mission, read some sermons, browse our latest news and come to a Sunday service (10:30 AM with a social hour after the service).
Green Sanctuary
Hello, and welcome to the website of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Amherst, MA. If you are searching for a UU congregation you will find much at this site that will tell you about our congregation, our worship services, our activities and our various forms of outreach. I am the minister, and of course biased, but this is a wonderfully warm and welcoming congregation. We hope you'll think so, too, when you visit us.
Unitarian Universalism is a very special "way of doing" religion. We have no creed or any required statements of membership or participation. We hold that each of us is on a continuing spiritual journey, throughout our entire lives, and that joining with others in religious community is a powerful way to feed our souls and expand our vision.
UUs find truth and wisdom in many sources, including the classical religious texts, but our services often contain readings from literature and especially poetry. We feel that reason, balanced with human emotion, combined with the knowledge inherent in our own experiences, are the primary sources for our religious understanding.
At the Unitarian Universalist Society of Amherst (abbreviated UUSA) we balance our activities between worship on Sunday mornings, other forms of adult enrichment, the fun of plain fellowship, and the work of keeping our Society up and running. We are also dedicated to the religious education of our children and youth. UUSA is an official Welcoming Congregation as well as a Green Sanctuary Congregation.
Please be in touch if you have any questions. Sincerely, The Rev. Alison Wohler
Gordon Wyse
The earth is finite and inextensible. Capitalism as an economic system depends on continuous growth and utilization of natural resources. This conflict results in degradation of the earth by resource depletion and population increases. What must be done to create an alternative economic system that is sustainable and non-exploitative?
Gordon Wyse is an active member of UUSA. He is a retired Biologist whose concerns about climate change and social inequality have recently dragged him into an examination of economic systems. He also likes to sing, travel and learn new stuff.
Jay Stryker
Jay Stryker, an active member of UUSA, will speak about tool-making human beings.

My dear friend Richard Dobbs (gifted artist) and I have been working on a Children's book entitled "The Children Who Had Roses For Noses." I wrote the book when I was pregnant with Skylar. My husband Chris and I had been told that she might have Downs Syndrom, but we made the choice not to do further testing and risk losing Skylar. When she was born perfectly healthy, we were thrilled but had a whole new sense of compassion for parents having children with special needs. I told Richard about the book and that I wondered if he would be interested in illustrating it. He shared with me that he has a sister with Downs Syndrom and would love to be a part of this.
The story is really about celebrating our uniqueness and unconditional love. You can check out our book at Lulu.com. We hope you like it!

NASA Personnel:
Challenges to Achieving Workforce Reductions
NSIAD-96-176: Published: Aug 2, 1996. Publicly Released: Aug 19, 1996.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) efforts to downsize its staff.
GAO found that: (1) NASA has reduced its fiscal year (FY) 2000 full-time equivalent (FTE) goal by more than 3,000 personnel; (2) NASA has provided eligible employees with voluntary separation incentive payments in exchange for their voluntary retirement or resignation; (3) two-thirds of the employees that left NASA in 1994 and 1995 took buyouts; (4) NASA will not be able to reduce its personnel levels by FY 2000 without invoking involuntarily separation measures; (5) NASA is relying on normal attrition, limited hiring, and redeployment to ensure a proper mix of skills throughout the agency; (6) NASA is shifting its program management control from headquarters to field centers and is using a single prime contractor to manage its space shuttle program at Kennedy Space Center; and (7) NASA would like to develop space science institutes to improve the quality of its science programs, but these efforts have been largely abandoned due to concerns regarding the transfer of NASA employees to institute positions.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: NASA's FY1997 appropriations act contains this provision.
Matter: Congress may wish to consider requiring NASA to submit a workforce restructuring plan for achieving its FY 2000 FTE goal.

You'll experience the very best of many worlds when you choose a vacation at one of Luxury Retreats Anguilla villas.

Why would you need more than a couple Metro applications actually running full time? The number of programs that actually need to be running 100% of the time isn't that great and would work perfectly fine with scheduled updates/notifications. Media players, torrent clients, etc sure. But for the vast majority of Metro applications, not really.. 99% of the time they're waiting on you to do something anyway or run functions at scheduled times.. they wake up, do their thing and go back to sleep again.
With the potential number of apps available having only 7 being able to run with all features enabled is pathetic.

This is not true. Apps can run in the background without being on the lock screen. My foursquare app uses a background task to provide tile updates and toast notifications based on your location. It does not request (or even support, so far anyway) being added to the lock screen.
Lock screen apps get additional background time and more triggers. But any app can run *some* background tasks. And if you're on AC power, any app can run quite a lot on periodic tasks (called "maintenance" tasks).
Also any app can use push and polling notifications, scheduled notifications, etc.
I don't really see the problem. If you want to get real work done you should use the desktop. Why would you need to have 7 metro apps running simultaneously?
Sure the limit is stupid, but I doubt it will affect most people. Someone will probably find a way around it, too.

Stony Brook Falls In College World Series Debut
Related Links
Bruins' starter Adam Plutko pitched 7.0 strong innings, giving up just five hits, one earned run, two walks and struck out seven Seawolves.
The times the Seawolves were able to get on base, Stony Brook wasn't able to capitalize, going 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position, including leaving the bases loaded in the second inning, while UCLA went 6-for-15 with runners on second or third. The Seawolves also went 0-for-9 with two outs
UCLA (48-14) posted five runs in the first inning to jump on top early. Stony Brook starter Tyler Johnson, who went 2.1 innings and was tagged for a season-high seven earned runs with four walks, threw 40 first-inning pitches. The Bruins loaded the bases with back-to-back singles and then a walk to the number three hitter. Clean-up hitter Jeff Galalich lined a 3-2 pitch to right field to score two runs. Trevor Brown singled up the middle and Pat Valaika put down a perfect sacifice bunt to score two more runs. The Bruins rounded out the first-inning scoring two batters later with a run-scoring infield single which hit the third base bag.
Pat Cantwell accounted for the only Stony Brook run when he lifted a solo shot into the left field bull pen on a 3-1 pitch in the top of the third inning.
The Seawolves had runners in scoring position on second and third with no outs in the top of the fifth frame after Kevin Courtney walked and Sal Intagliata lined a double into left field. Travis Jankowski grounded out to first base and UCLA threw out Courtney at home plate to turn the double play. Cantwell fouled out to the catcher in front of the Stony Brook dugout to end the Seawolf threat.
Jasvir Rakkar pitched 4.1 innings of relief allowing just three hits and one run, while Joshua Mason went the final 1.1 innings allowing a run and a hit.
Stony Brook second baseman Maxx Tissenbaum led the Seawolves with two hits. Kevin Krause and Sal Intagliata each went 1-for-3.

US authorities examining high-frequency trading are facing an uphill battle to combat potential market manipulation, from incomplete records to interpreting volumes of trades executed in milliseconds.
The FBI joined up with the Securities and Exchange Commission recently to focus on high-speed, algorithmic trading.
The SEC has been investigating possible manipulative trading strategies since the 2010 "flash crash" and has hired more than a dozen quantitative analysts across three of its divisions.
The efforts have yielded some civil enforcement actions, including two unrelated "layering" cases, against brokers Hold Brothers On-Line Investment and Biremis for allegedly allowing customers to submit orders that they did not intend to execute in order to trick others into buying or selling stocks at artificial prices.
Both firms and executives settled without admitting or denying wrongdoing. In those cases, the SEC was aided partly through emails and internal documents raising questions about potentially manipulative trades.
While some of the alleged tactics are the same as those used in the past, the new challenge is how they are executed. Algorithm-driven trades are issuing thousands of quotes in microseconds across numerous trading platforms, including "dark pools" that are off-exchange.
"Unless there is evidence of intent to manipulate, it's hard to derive intent from raw trading data," said one government official.
To bring a manipulation case, the government would have to find a way to show a person programmed the code to manipulate trades.
"How people will pull those signals apart will be complex," said Tyler Moeller, chief executive of Broadway Technology, which builds electronic trading platforms.
"Determining if the trades were related and were actually manipulative and that there was malicious human intent behind them can be extremely difficult," he said.
Among the challenges authorities face is a lack of comprehensive market data to work from. Until recently, the SEC had relied on official trade confirmations from what is known as the consolidated tape, a record of all transactions executed that does not include cancelled orders.
Since 2011, high-volume traders are required to report their equity trade data to the SEC. The SEC began using tools from Tradeworx, a high-frequency trading group, at the end of last year to provide it a real-time glimpse into stock trading.
But a plan to build a so-called consolidated audit trail is not expected to be completed for several years. The SEC's team of quantitative analysts will help decipher the data received from the high-volume traders.
"It's a cat-and-mouse game," said the government official. "The question is, who will build the next best trap?"

French lawmakers approve bill to open iPod, iTunes
French lawmakers have voted to approve the online music interoperability bill that would force Apple to open its copy-protection technology and break the exclusive tie between downloads from the iTunes Music Store and the iPod. As reported earlier today, "the draft law—which also introduces new penalties for music pirates—would force Apple Computer Inc., Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp. to share proprietary anti-copy technologies so that rivals can offer compatible services and players." The French Senate will give a final vote on the bill in coming weeks.

Wow now iTunes will be gone in France.

The above posts were exactly what I was thinking… Goodbye iTunes France!
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 11:52 AM (CST)
They'll either cancel it all together OR add specific code to the DRM thru the French iTMS along with the technology for their 'rivals' to crack the DRM from the French store specifically and not for other countries. I would expect the latter solution.

why would a law making more portable devices compatible with i-tunes/iTMS be a bad thing?
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:14 PM (CST)
because apple wants you to use their ipod, not other portable music devices, and if you're (being the french government) going to force them to give their music to their competitors, they'll just leave.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:23 PM (CST)
Such a law would be bad because it's government interfering with business in a matter that has absolutely nothing to do with safety. This is a matter the market and business interests should decide, not government.
Also, imagine you own a company. You develop a successful and popular product with a unique distribution system. Your company is small compared to your major competitors, but your new product brings in much-needed success. You start to sell your product in foreign countries. After about a year, one of those countries arbitrarily creates a law that says you are required to share the fundamental apsects of your product with your competitors.
Now, with all that imagining…. what would you do? Me, I'd stop selling my product in that country, unless that country was a major source of my income. I doubt France's iTunes and iPod purchases are worth attempting to continue to do business with them with that burden.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:29 PM (CST)
I have to agree with Jason here. I'm not even sure this is a good thing for the consumer. If apple were to open up their drm for competitors, there's no guarantee thos competitors would do a good job implementing it in their devices and you could end up with all kinds of little problems that apple can control for by controling the software and hardware. I don't buy music from the ITMS because of the DRM and quality issues, but I'm 100% behind apple controling its own products and not having to give away its strong market share.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:34 PM (CST)
What sucks is they're not really thinking about the problem right. Fine, they "force" companies to license their DRM junk, but what about free players? What about open-source projects? They still get nothing.
The only way to truly solve this problem of not being able to play tracks you buy in one place to play anywhere is to GET RID OF DRM ALTOGETHER.
But for now, goodbye iTunes France.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:34 PM (CST)
i sorta agree with everyone…i think if iTMS opens up, other countries might try to pass the same law…which might make iTMS gain $ bcuz people who can't find music on the other sites will come to iTMS to find it…but on the hand if they have to open the iPod people with iPods might leave the iTMS bcuz they can use subscription svcs to get music…so it is up to the loyal iPod/iTMS fans to stick with the store and not stray to other svcs and let the people with other players come to iTMS and create more $ for the iTMS…
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:38 PM (CST)
I really don't see why Apple or Microsoft should be penalized for the fact that there are apparently only two French language based music stores..(Including Itunes according to the BBC)..Maybe if they got their act together, Apple wouldn't have the monopoly they're moaning on about.
Why not use those EU subsidies to support some new stores…wink wink…
Long and the short of it. They'll be lucky to have an Itunes store this time next month. They might get lucky with some open French store DRM..Guess it's how the sums add up..Lose money on ipod sales/make money on the store?
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:43 PM (CST)
I believe that we can bid iTunes France adieu!
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:48 PM (CST)
I don't see this as such a problem, by now the ipod is pretty much owned by everyone that wants one. Looking at the bigger picture the ipod is the product to sell the service (itunes music store). The service has a life span much longer than the ipod itself, and as it is currently the best service opening it up to other players could mean more sales. maybe fewer ipod's will be sold, but i feel this was ineveitable anyway
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 12:54 PM (CST)
"the law has yet to be debated and approved by the Senate—a process that would not begin until at least May"
Apple will offer no comment until there is reason to act.
French congressional action will wither and not stand the scrutiny of legal review.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 1:48 PM (CST)
why would apple let this happen? I don't think that they want the ipod to be phased out. And I doubt they agree that it is "inevitable." I think that when they come out with the new ipod sales will increase yet again. Itunes has made them a lot of money, yes, but I don't think that they will be willing to modify the programming just for France or any other country for that matter.

French: Take your Laissez-faire and shove it.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 2:02 PM (CST)
I don't get what all the hoo-hah is about and why they felt they needed a law. You can play stuff from iTunes on a brand-x player - you just have to jump through the extra hoop of perverting your stuff to MP3. Then you can use MusicMatch <shudder> or whatever you want to load it to the player. Seems like a non-issue to me…
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 2:23 PM (CST)
Geez…and this comes from the country that gave us the Statue of Liberty…Oh well, no more iTunes in France.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 2:26 PM (CST)
I don't think they will leave the France. It would open the whole music business here to Microsoft…
France is a big market in Europe, it's one the biggest country and one of the younger one. Leave us and say Microsoft hello…

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate credit rating on Abu Dhabi-based property company Aldar Properties PJSC (Aldar) to 'B+' from 'B'
April 18, 2012 9:37 by kippreport
On April 17, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate credit rating onAbu Dhabi-based property company Aldar Properties PJSC (Aldar) to 'B+' from 'B'. At the same time, we affirmed the short-term corporate credit rating at 'B'. The following are comments made by S&P about the upgrade:
The outlook is stable.
Abu Dhabi-based property company Aldar Properties PJSC's (Aldar's) liquidity position has been strengthened by a new AED4 billion revolving credit facility that it has entered into with National Bank of Abu Dhabi.
We are therefore raising our long-term rating on Aldar and the issue rating on its senior unsecured notes and sukuk to 'B+' from 'B'.
We continue to incorporate two notches of uplift over the stand-alone credit profile, reflecting our view of the moderately high likelihood of extraordinary government support.
The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the government will continue to support Aldar, enabling it to maintain adequate liquidity and stabilize its operating cash flow generation over the next two to three years.

June 13, 2015 - Soft and very comfortable. Bit long in the leg for me at 5 foot 1 but can easily roll them up. Run a bit large as well but as they don't do xs guess small will have to do
April 20, 2015 - I was extremely pleased with this purchase. Just what I wanted. Loose and long in the leg. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a casual pant.
April 18, 2015 - I love these lounge pants. Very comfortable. They do run larger than size. I suggest getting a size smaller than the actual size. I ordered a medium but a size small would have been a better fit. Regardless, I love my flannel paw lounge pants!

Article: The unoccupied electronic structure of the semi-conducting room temperature molecular magnet V(TCNE)2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The unoccupied electronic structure of the organic-based magnet V(TCNE)x (TCNE=tetracyanoethylene, x∼2) has been studied with near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and with photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). By studying V(TCNE)x upon sodium-doping, the electron-accepting state, i.e., the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of V(TCNE)x was shown mainly to be localized on (TCNE)−-units in contrast to the hole-accepting state, i.e., the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), which previously was assigned primarily to be V(3d)-derived. This study also showed that there are trap states for electron transport located below the (TCNE)2− level, likely leading to decreased electron mobility.Chemical Physics Letters 02/2008; 452(1-3):173-177. DOI:10.1016/j.cplett.2007.12.049 · 1.99 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The fundamentals of the energy level alignment at anode and cathode electrodes in organic electronics are described. We focus on two different models that treat weakly interacting organic/metal (and organic/organic) interfaces: the induced density of interfacial states model and the so-called integer charge transfer model. The two models are compared and evaluated, mainly using photoelectron spectroscopy data of the energy level alignment of conjugated polymers and molecules at various organic/metal and organic/organic interfaces. We show that two different alignment regimes are generally observed: (i) vacuum level alignment, which corresponds to the lack of vacuum level offsets (Schottky-Mott limit) and hence the lack of charge transfer across the interface, and (ii) Fermi level pinning where the resulting work function of an organic/metal and organic/organic bilayer is independent of the substrate work function and an interface dipole is formed due to charge transfer across the interface. We argue that the experimental results are best described by the integer charge transfer model which predicts the vacuum level alignment when the substrate work function is above the positive charge transfer level and below the negative charge transfer level of the conjugated material. The model further predicts Fermi level pinning to the positive (negative) charge transfer level when the substrate work function is below (above) the positive (negative) charge transfer level. The nature of the integer charge transfer levels depend on the materials system: for conjugated large molecules and polymers, the integer charge transfer states are polarons or bipolarons; for small molecules' highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals and for crystalline systems, the relevant levels are the valence and conduction band edges. Finally, limits and further improvements to the integer charge transfer model are discussed as well as the impact on device design.Journal of Physics Condensed Matter 05/2007; 19(18):183202.

ABSTRACT: The molecule-based magnet V(TCNE)x, with TCNE=tetracyanoethylene, x≈2, shows an exceptionally high magnetic ordering temperature of about 400 K. With the aim to shed light on the origins of the robust magnetic ordering interactions, we have characterized the chemical bonding in V(TCNE)x thin films, prepared by an in situ chemical vapor deposition method, using photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The XAS and XMCD results were interpreted by ligand field multiplet and charge transfer multiplet calculations, which show that the V-NC bonds are characterized by a large crystal field parameter 10Dq=2.3 eV and strong ligand to metal charge transfer effects, resulting in a hybrid V(3d)-CN ground state given by 60% 3d3 and 40% 3d4L, where L is a hole on the cyano ligands.Physical Review B 02/2007; 75(6).

Article: Ultraviolet light–ozone treatment of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene)-based materials resulting in increased work functions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe a simple method to increase the work function of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene)–poly(perfluoroethylene sulfonic acid), PEDOT–PFESA, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene)–poly(styrene sulfonic acid), PEDOT–PSS, by short exposure to ultraviolet light and ozone. The creation of carbonyl groups in the surface region forms a dipole layer shifting the vacuum level with a followed increase in work function. It has been shown that the work function of PEDOT–PFESA can be increased by as much as ∼0.4 eV to the absolute value of 6.3 eV and by at least ∼0.2 eV for PEDOT–PSS to the absolute value of 5.4 eV. The increase in work function has also proven to be time dependent with the largest increasing rate occurring for short exposure times. Upon ozone treatment, both PEDOT and PSS are oxidized whereas PFESA seems to be unaffected.Thin Solid Films 12/2006; 515(4):2085-2090. DOI:10.1016/j.tsf.2006.07.005 · 1.87 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to examine the energetics, and therefore charge injection barriers, at top and bottom contact configurations of gold and conjugated polymers, i.e., polymer spin coated on gold and vapor-deposited gold on polymer interfaces. Very similar results are obtained for both ex situ (contaminated) and in situ (clean) prepared interfaces: a 0.7–0.8 eV decrease in the vacuum energy levels is consistently observed as compared to bare polycrystalline gold. These observations are explained by changes of the metal work function upon contacting either polymers or contaminants, associated with the reduction of the electron density tail that extends outside the metal surface.Applied Physics Letters 05/2006; 88(19):193504-193504-3.

ABSTRACT: Thin films of V(TCNE)x were deposited in ultrahigh vacuum using a film growth technique based on in situ chemical vapor deposition of tetracyanoethylene, TCNE, and bis-benzene vanadium, V(C6H6)2. The in situ preparation method enabled, for the first time, experimental analysis of oxygen-free films. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements recorded at the V L(2,3) edge confirmed room temperature magnetic ordering. A combination of conventional photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and resonant photoemission (RPE) measured at the V L3 edge shows that the highest occupied electronic state is V(3d) derived. The rearrangements of the TCNE- related valence electronic states observed in PES and the evidence of V(3d) and TCNE- pi(pi*) orbital overlap contained in RPE spectra, indicate that strong, covalent type bonding occurs between the vanadium and the TCNE molecules.Physical Review Letters 03/2006; 96(5):057209.

ABSTRACT: Photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to map out energy level alignment of conjugated polymers at various organic-organic and hybrid interfaces. Specifically, we have investigated the hole-injection interface between the substrate and light-emitting polymer. Two different alignment regimes have been observed: (i) Vacuum-level alignment, which corresponds to the lack of vacuum-level offsets (Schottky–Mott limit) and (ii) Fermi-level pinning, where the substrate Fermi level and the positive polaronic level of the polymer align. The observation is rationalized in terms of spontaneous charge transfer whenever the substrate Fermi level exceeds the positive polaron/bipolaron formation energy per particle. The charge transfer leads to the formation of an interfacial dipole, as large as 2.1 eV.Applied Physics Letters 01/2006; 88(5):053502-053502-3. DOI:10.1063/1.2168515 · 3.52 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A set of polyaniline- and poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-based materials were studied as hole injection layers in polymer light emitting devices. The choice of polymeric counterion/dopant poly(styrenesulfonic acid), and poly(acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid), and poly(acrylamide) blended with polyaniline/poly(acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) was found to influence both work function and film morphology, which in turn affects device performance. The work functions of the polymer films spanned the range of over 1 eV and the surface region of the films were found to be low in conducting polymer content compared to the bulk. This was particularly the case of the polyaniline/poly(acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) blended with poly(acrylamide) which showed device efficiency equal to that of the poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)–poly(styrenesulfonic acid) reference. The turn on voltage, however, was significantly larger, likely due to the insulating poly(acrylamide)-rich surface region of the polyaniline/poly(acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid)/poly(acrylamide) film. The polymer blend of polyaniline/poly(styrenesulfonic acid) yielded the highest work function (5.5 ± 0.1 eV).Organic Electronics 02/2005; 6(1-6):21-33.

Article: Transparent low-work-function indium tin oxide electrode obtained by molecular scale interface engineering[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A redox reaction between a monolayer of electron–donor molecules, tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene, and the indium tin oxide (ITO) surface results in a decrease of the ITO work function down to 3.7 eV. The modified ITO surface may be used as electron injecting electrode in polymer light-emitting devices. Photoelectron spectroscopy measurements show that the low-work-function of the modified electrode remains upon exposure to air or gentle annealing; thus, making it a good candidate for inexpensive fabrication of organic/polymeric (opto)electronic devices.Applied Physics Letters 08/2004; 85(9):1616-1618.

Article: Coulomb interactions in rubidium-doped tetracyanoethylene: A model system for organometallic magnets[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The electronic structure of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) has been studied both in its pristine state and upon stepwise rubidium intercalation, by UV and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as well as with theoretical calculations. The intercalated system may serve as a model for TCNE-based organometallic magnets, of which the electronic structure remains largely unknown. Rubidium is found to n-dope the TCNE molecules forming Rb+TCNE- with almost complete charge transfer. Calculations show a spin splitting of the former highest occupied molecular orbital level upon Rb doping. We see no evidence for the formation of doubly charged TCNE molecules. A gap opens up at the Fermi energy for Rb+TCNE- due to on-site Coulomb interactions. We estimate the on-site Coulomb interaction of amorphous TCNE doped with Rb to be ∼2 eV.Physical Review B 04/2004; 69(16). DOI:10.1103/PhysRevB.69.165208 · 3.66 Impact Factor

Well the workers arrived at just about 8:30 a.m. this morning. Since the contractor said between 8 and 9 in the morning, they get a 10 for being right on time.
My grandson asked me to ask Stan why there wasn't a wall and a door dividing his room from mom's room in the plans for the attic. It was Sean's only request when we came up with the idea for the attic. I don't want people walking through my room when they enter the attic up the front stairs. Well I did ask Stan, and he
I need to get to bed early tonite. The contractor is coming tomorrow with a work crew at 8 a.m. Now I start grading the company that I hired. I'm not sure exactly what is going to get done first, but I am assuming the attic needs to be dormed out first. I have never ever hired a contractor before for anything, so this should be very interesting.
The weather in Chicago hasn't been too cold. The temperatures are in the 40's.
Stan did say that they finish up all
I haven't heard word one from my contractor since Tuesday. He said he was going to get back to me on Wednesday, but he didn't. I came down with a cold, so I'm kind of glad that I got to rest up a bit before he finally gets over here and starts the work.
I do get aggravated when people say they are going to do something and they don't, but he's running the show and I'm not the nagging type.
Kathy looked over the architect's plans the other day, and raised some concerns.
It's a mess. The wiring in my house. So much so, that we need to have it all redone. I have to bring my electrical boxes, and electric meters brought up to code. I have owned my house for a long time, and when they were originally done, I guess they were O.K. Of course, things change, and when you are having work done, you have to play by the rules or get out of the game.
I had hoped that all of this work would be long done by now. I was planning a July trip to Disneyland.
I hired a contractor back on July 29, 2009 to remodel my attic so that the mother of my grandson could have a cheaper place to live. I figure the fringe benefits to me, would include getting to see my grandson, Sean more often.
I own a 2 flat building, and I have a tenant that has been our tenant forever. If I had it my way, I would have asked my tenant, Diana to move out, so that Kathy, (Sean's mom) could move above us in the 2 bedroom apartment that is above ours, and below our

Contender Delton Young
American Landscape contest Contender Delton Young captured this image after two days of sandstorms cleared from the Mesquite Dunes
Photographer: Delton Young
Location: Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley National Park
When did you take the photograph? January 18, 2013
Canon EOS 5D Mk II, Canon EF 70-200mm f4/L lens, Gitzo tripod and ball head
Describe how you got this photo.
The first rays of sunlight often bathe the dunes in warm light, set off by sharp contrasts with deep blue skies and surrounding dark mountains. The dunes' popularity often leads to heavily tracked scenes, but a day of wind and sandstorms clears it all away. After two days of storms in January, the dunes were pristine. The play of warm light on the morning sands is ideal for the photographer, but it lasts only a short while.
Why is this scene of the American Landscape special to you?
This is one of the most accessible and striking sites in the Park. In this harshest of desert landscapes, the Dunes lend a textured elegance to the grandeur of the geologic drama--and a welcome relief from the hard and ragged edges that define much of the Valley. Ephemeral, ever-shifting forms cast into relief this 10,000-foot cleft in the earth's crust.

This has recently become salient in my world, again.Internal candidates raise all kinds of issues – information asymmetry, historical baggage, sense of entitlement, and the like. There's a really basic awfulness in saying 'no' to somebody internal.Saying 'no' to anybody is unpleasant, but it isn't so bad with people you're unlikely ever to see again. You can be vague and relatively quick, and emerge soon enough with both parties' dignity intact. (That doesn't always happen, of course, but it should.) Once the deed is done, it's done, and you can get on with your work.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer and Ductal Lavage
In this article
Ductal lavage is a screening tool used to detect breast cancer in women at high risk of breast cancer. During ductal lavage, cells are collected from the milk ducts of the breast for analysis. The procedure is used to identify precancerous cells, called atypical cells. Ductal lavage currently is performed only on women who have multiple breast cancer risk factors to try to detect breast cancer before it starts.
Ductal lavage works on the premise that most breast cancers (about 95%) develop in cells that line the milk ducts of the breast. Cancer usually begins in one duct and may be confined to that duct if caught early. Early diagnosis makes treatment more effective and increases survival.

Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy
Breast reconstruction can be done right after a mastectomy while you are still under anesthesia, or at a later time. Sometimes women wait because they are not emotionally or medically able to undergo additional surgery, or because they need radiation therapy following their breast cancer and mastectomy. Reconstruction is major surgery that may require more than one procedure. Women should be fully informed about what is involved. Women have several options in breast reconstruction surgery, including...
Read the Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy article > >
By the time breast cancer is detected, however, it often has progressed beyond a single duct. Experts estimate that it takes eight to 10 years for cancer to grow from one cell to a mass large enough to be detected on a mammogram -- a size of one cm that contains about one billion cells.
Doctors hope that performing ductal lavage as a screening tool in women at high risk for breast cancer may catch the disease early when it is most treatable.
How Does Ductal Lavage Work?
Ductal lavage is a minimally invasive procedure that may be performed in a doctor's office or outpatient center. It is performed in three steps:
- An anesthetic cream is applied to numb the nipple area. Gentle suction is used to withdraw a small amount of fluid from the milk ducts. This is done to locate the opening of the ducts on the nipple's surface and to identify ducts to be tested. Ducts that do not produce fluid generally are not tested with the lavage procedure, since atypical cells are more commonly found in ducts that produce fluid. Not all women are able to produce fluid with this test. If fluid is not made, the test is not continued any further.
- If fluid is made, a hair-thin catheter (small tube) is inserted into the natural opening of the duct. Additional anesthetic is delivered into the duct. A saline (salt and water) solution is then infused through the catheter to rinse the duct, which loosens cells from the duct lining. The solution containing the loosened cells is withdrawn through the catheter. The word "lavage" is French for "wash" or "rinse."
- The sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis to determine if the cells are normal or abnormal (atypical cells). Women with atypical cells have an increased risk of developing breast cancer.
