MAC Announces New Additions
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Associate Athletic Director and Executive Director of the Mountaineer Athletic Club Matt Borman has announced two new hires as well as a promotion within the MAC staff.
"I am extremely excited to add two wonderful new members to our Mountaineer Athletic Club staff and it is nice to be able to promote Kevin (Miller) from within because he has done a great job for us this past year and is very deserving," Borman says.
Susan Hammond joins the Mountaineer Athletic Club staff as the director of donor relations and special events. She will manage a comprehensive stewardship plan to support WVU athletic programs involving donor cultivation, gift acknowledgements and special events.
Hammond came to the MAC after spending seven months as the director of donor relations/campaign coordinator at the WVU Foundation. In that position, she ensured stewardship of donors and engaged and informed prospects on the needs of WVU and the benefits of donating. Hammond also coordinated various activities to build awareness for the "A State of Minds" campaign.
Prior to her time with the WVU Foundation, Hammond served as president for Cardinal Consulting, LLC, in Morgantown, for four months, where she consulted on fundraising strategy for multiple political candidates, including Congressman David McKinley's re-election campaign. She also developed comprehensive fundraising plans to enhance donor cultivation and managed donor relations. Hammond served as the finance director for McKinley for Congress from October 2011 – August 2012, where she managed the fundraising for the Congressman's 2012 re-election campaign, developed, executed and tracked the fundraising plan and coordinated statewide fundraising events.
Hammond received her bachelor's degree in public relations from the University of Alabama in 2003.
Michael Gilstorf joins the Mountaineer Athletic Club staff as major gifts officer. Gilstorf is responsible for securing high-end annual gifts and funds for major capital projects, as well as endowing student-athlete scholarships.
Prior to WVU, Gilstorf was the assistant director of the East Carolina University Pirate Club since February 2011. He managed 16 regional chapters of the Pirate Club rep system, along with building relationships with donors and participating in the overall fund raising strategies of the ECU Educational Foundation.
Gilstorf spent roughly two years with his alma mater, the University of Tennessee, most recently as a development assistant in athletics. He brought in more than $200,000 in new donations for annual and capital campaigns, in addition to overseeing the Tennessee Fund.
"Susan and Michael are great additions to our team within the Mountaineer Athletic Club," says Borman. Susan's past role within the WVU Foundation has prepared her to relate to all of our donors, while Michael has a wealth of experience from East Carolina and Tennessee."
Kevin Miller, who was hired in April 2012 as the major gifts officer, has since been promoted to assistant athletic director of the annual fund. Miller is now responsible for managing and operating West Virginia's annual fund.
Prior to WVU, Miller spent three years as the assistant athletic director for development at Georgia State University and oversaw the annual giving program. Under Miller, the program grew its unrestricted annual dollars by over 1,500% and its donor base by 450% in his last two fiscal years at GSU.
Miller is a 2005 graduate of West Virginia University and earned his master's degree, also from WVU, in 2006.
"Kevin was successful as a major gifts officer and I'm excited to see his potential continue to grow as he is now able to run our annual fund and serve in an assistant athletic director capacity," Borman says. "I have high expectations for the Mountaineer Athletic Club and I see the entire staff heading down a successful path this season with Kevin taking on a new role, and Susan and Michael joining the staff."

YORK (AP) — York County sheriff's deputies are investigating after an officer's gun was accidentally fired outside York Comprehensive High School before classes began.

Deputy Dave Prescott has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated. Prescott had been the deputy assigned to the high school for the past eight years,

Chicago tied the game, 3-3, to force overtime with 5:35 left in the third period. Center Matt Anderson knocked the puck back to right wing Joey Crabb off a face-off in the Stars zone and Crabb fought his way through traffic and ripped a shot past Stars netminder Brent Krahn.
Texas got the decisive goal while working on a power-play opportunity early in the overtime period, when defenseman Garrett Stafford rifled a shot past a screened netminder Peter Mannino's blocker to win the game.
Chicago's goals came from Crabb, center Jason Krog and right wing Anthony Stewart, while Texas (5-0) also got markers from Colton Sceviour, Francis Wathier and Jamie Benn.
"We battled back but we couldn't seem to get the momentum going," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "They're a tough team to play against, but so are we."
The Stars opened scoring, 6:34 into the contest. Texas' Scott McCulloch carried the puck around the net and was hit by a Wolves player along the boards but was able to slip a pass out to Sceviour for a quick tap past Mannino.
Chicago (4-4) answered 53 seconds later with a tally from Krog. Defenseman Arturs Kulda picked the puck up streaking past the net and dished it across for Krog to flip past Stars netminder Brent Krahn to even the score, 1-1.
Wathier put the Stars ahead, 2-1, on a delayed penalty when he deflected Maxime Fortunus' long shot from near the blue line by Mannino at 1:43 of the second period.
Mannino (4-3) posted 24 saves on 28 shots for the Wolves.
Stewart brought the Wolves even once again, 2-2, with a power-play goal at 6:36. Defenseman Nathan Oystrick sent a shot sliding across the crease from the face-off circle and Stewart streaked in and knocked it past Krahn.
Krahn (5-0) turned aside 32 shots for the Stars.
Texas took a 3-2 lead just 16 seconds into the third period when Jamie Benn picked up a rebound from Dan Jancevski's long shot and snapped a shot from the slot past Mannino.

Jarvis Tarquez Gibson's complete sentence is 20 years for each of four counts burglary and 10 years for a sixth burglary count. Counts 2-5 are to run concurrent with each other but consecutive with count six for a total of 30 years.
After serving the first seven years in confinement, the remainder of sentence may be served on probation.

Cellular clouds can be seen in the cold air behind the front, covering a wide area including southern Victoria and Tasmania. Areas of thunderstorms are present in the cold air, mostly to the southeast of Tasmania. Another cloud band over the northern Tasman Sea is due to a surface trough. A second surface trough is responsible for patchy cloud and thunderstorms well off the northern New South Wales coast. Southwesterly flow driven by a high pressure ridge to the southwest of the continent has brought areas of low cloud to southern parts of the country. Interaction between an upper level disturbance and a third surface trough has generated an extensive area of cloud over the Indian Ocean, with high cloud streaming ahead of the system over the west coast of WA. The remainder of the country is mostly clear due to a high pressure ridge.

Project Description
The YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe has been planned to be the definitive reference work on all aspects of the history and culture of Jews in Eastern Europe from the beginnings of their settlement in the region to the present. This two-volume, 2,400-page encyclopedia, comprising approximately 2 million words, almost 1,200 images (including two 16-page color inserts), and 55 maps, draws on the most current scholarship in all relevant fields and explores Jewish life in all its variety and complexity. The editors' goal has been to cover everything of cultural or historical significance using an ecumenical, nondenominational, and nonideological editorial approach. This project is unprecedented. To this day, a full-fledged encyclopedia dedicated exclusively to the centuries-long history and culture of East European Jewry has never appeared.
Under the direction of Editor in Chief Gershon David Hundert, professor of history and chair of the Department of Jewish Studies at McGill University, 450 internationally recognized scholars has served as editors and contributors. The YIVO Encyclopedia not only provides a forum for their collective knowledge, but also serves as a meeting point for a new generation of scholars from former Communist Europe and their colleagues from North America, Israel, and Western Europe. The encyclopedia brings their scholarship together for the first time.
When published in 2008, the print and electronic versions of the YIVO Encyclopedia will offer a much needed revision of the East European Jewish experience, with up-to-date scholarship, diversity of contributors, and attention to previously overlooked aspects of history and culture.
Why an Encyclopedia on Jews in Eastern Europe?
Of the more than 13 million Jews worldwide (including over 6 million in the United States, 5 million in Israel, and more than 650,000 in Eastern Europe), many seek information about their origins and the lives of their ancestors, but surprisingly, no publication has ever attempted to systematically represent the entire historical legacy of this culture until now. The YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe also will provide an authoritative reference for scholars in such fields as Jewish Studies, East European Studies, and Slavic Studies. The volumes will provide East Europeans with a much-needed resource for studying aspects of their national histories that were neglected and even suppressed for decades under the Soviet system. For the purposes of this encyclopedia, the geographical parameters are the regions east of Germany, north of the Balkans, and west of the Ural Mountains—borders corresponding roughly to today's Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, the Baltic States, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. The 1,800 entries cover events, people, places, and related topics from the earliest Jewish settlements in the region to 2000.
Furthermore, as the study of the Holocaust becomes more and more established in American high schools and universities, and Holocaust museums in many cities and towns draw thousands of visitors, there is a growing recognition that awareness of the Holocaust needs to be placed within a broader framework of knowledge about the people and culture destroyed by the Nazis. In some Holocaust museums, special exhibitions have been developed to address this specific concern. The YIVO Encyclopedia offers the general public a high-quality resource for learning more about "The World Before," as more than one museum refers to the topic.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---The Chattanooga Mocs lost 77-61 to visiting Georgia Southern despite 21 points from senior Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.). The Eagles got 49 combined points from Tre Bussey and Jelani Hewitt in the win.
"Obviously this was not our best night," said Head Coach Will Wade. "Give Georgia Southern a ton of credit. They out-toughed us and out-worked us the last 25 minutes of the game. They just wanted it more.
"Our margins are small and we just didn't have it, for whatever reason, for the last 25 minutes of this game."
Bussey scored 25, while Hewitt buried 24 tonight. Angel Matias added 14 points and five rebounds, as Marvin Baynham grabbed a game-high 10 boards. GSU held a 37-30 advantage on the boards.
The loss dampened a special night for Mason. The Nashville native scored added seven rebounds and two blocks to his 21 points in front of more than 100 students from his alma mater, Christ Presbyterian Academy.
"I feel honored," Mason said in his post-game press conference. "It's a group of kids and teachers that came from Nashville to support me. It's been a while since I seen a lot of them and there was familiar faces in there. It's just something I am proud and honored for them to come support me.
"It's a great feeling I am kind of down on my game, but after seeing that it changed my mentality and I am so appreciative of them."
The Mocs led by as many as 12 in the first half and were up 32-23 with 3:56 to go in the first half after a Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) three-pointer. It was all Eagles from there.
Hewitt sparked a 13-2 run to end the first 20 minutes with three three-pointers for a 36-34 halftime advantage. Chattanooga went without a field goal from 3:56 of the first half to 15:38 of the second. The 8:18 spurt was ended by another White trey cutting GSU's advantage to just seven, 46-39.
The Eagles key play may have come just under two minutes later. Curtis Diamond missed from three-point range but Sam Mike grabbed the offensive rebound. Just 19 seconds later, Diamond sized up another trey which fell to push the lead to 10.
Mason answered with a dunk on the Mocs next possession to make it an eight-point game, 51-43, at 13:03. That's as close as it would get as the Eagles shot 55.2 percent (16-29) in the second half to pull away for the win.
The Mocs wasted a strong start. A 16-2 run was capped by a Mason three for a 16-5 advantage just four-plus minutes into the contest. The lead eventually swelled to 12, 29-17, on a Casey Jones (New Orleans, La.) tip-in at the 5:23 mark.
The early run came behind solid defense. Seven GSU turnovers led to 11 points for the home team in the first eight minutes of the game. The Eagles had just four miscues after White's three-pointer at 3:56 and shot a sizzling 60 percent (21-35) from the field, 61.5 percent (8-13) from beyond the arc, for the remaining 24 minutes.
Chattanooga hits the road for its next two contests starting Sunday at UNCG. Game time is slated for 2 p.m. Listened to the game live on ESPN 105.1 FM the Zone in the Scenic City, or go to the men's basketball schedule page on GoMocs.com for links to video (PPV), audio (free) and live stats.

Jessica Lea Mayfield to play Mickey Finn's PubWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In the past year and a half, Jessica Lea Mayfield has played "Late Show with David Letterman," performed at the Americana Music Awards and drawn praise from the likes of Rolling Stone and The New York Times for her latest album "Tell Me." All this happened prior to the Kent, Ohio, native's celebrating her 23rd birthday, which occurs later this month.
While all of the above might be impressive to fans, friends, family and outsiders, to Mayfield they're just some of the more recent events in a life that's never been devoid of music and the road. Her parents and older brother David traveled and played together as the family bluegrass band One Way Rider. She first performed with at the age of eight.
"For the better part of my childhood, we lived in a tour bus," Mayfield said. "So I didn't really have a bedroom; I had a bunk. I lived in a tour bus that was done by Bill Monroe. It was called 'The Bluegrass Breakdown.'"
More than a decade later, Mayfield is a married woman who has released two full-length albums of her own and toured internationally. On Aug. 24, she'll perform at Mickey Finn's Pub.
"As far as making a name for myself goes, I really just want to be able to pay the bills, you know?" Mayfield said. "All I've ever done is play music. I've never had a day job or anything. My family has always supported itself that way, and since I've been a teenager that's how I've supported myself, is through music.
"It seems different to some people, but it's the norm for me."
By the time she was 15, Mayfield had already made her first EP — "White Lies" — which was recorded David's bedroom. One of the 100 copies of "White Lies" eventually made it into the hands of Akron-based The Black Keys guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach.
"His dad had gotten a copy of ['White Lies'] that I recorded with my brother, and I didn't know who he was at the time or whatever," Mayfield said of Auerbach with a laugh. "Like, I didn't really know anything that was going on with him. He sent me a Myspace message and gave me his number and said he liked the music.
"He said, 'My name is Dan. I play in a local band called The Black Keys.'"
After meeting Auerbach, Mayfield's brother David would drop her off at his studio a few times each week to play, setting the foundation for a friendship that continues to this day.
Auerbach has since produced both of Mayfield's full-length records. Released on Feb. 8, 2011, "Tell Me" was recorded at his Easy Eye Sound System studio in Akron where he, Mayfield and David all worked on the album together.
Despite the critical acclaim from multiple media outlets, Mayfield insists she tries to stay away from the hoopla. After all these years, she still doesn't like listening to herself or watching herself performing.
Instead, she's focusing on the music and sharing the sights of touring with her husband, who happens to be the touring bassist in her band.
"It's just everything has been really good this year because I'm more mature," Mayfield said. "And it's definitely pretty awesome to be doing all of these things with my husband. It makes it feel less like work."
On Aug. 24, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Jack & the Bear, Dios Ama and Possum & the Peach will perform at Mickey Finn's Pub, 602 Lagrange St. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Advance tickets are available through Ticketmaster. The show starts at 9 p.m.

very good chew 1st ty
The medicine works as expected. I take a 10/325 hydrocodone first and than a 30mg CR 30 minutes later. It does not dumb down my motor or thought controls. The only problem I have is ignorant people relating to finding a job. They equate MS Cotin with heroin or drug abuse although I have been on MS and Hydrocodone for 10 plus years. I actually work and think much clearer with-out the pain caused by injuries received in the U.S.M.C. bothering me to the point where I just want to laydown and do nothing. It is really ashame America has more ignorant people per mile than any other country on the face of the earth. This I know for sure. It has caused many hardships for my family, and I do not wish to go on disability because I am not di-abled.
i take 50mg slow release in am and pm, it doesnt help a great deal with the pain and i am always fully aware that my mind does wonder and my thinking process is slow now, i really wish i had never started taking morphine as i am now scared to stop the tablets due to withdrawel effects, i also take alot of vitimns and have them dossetted for me as i am now so forgetful, i am going to slowly stop taking morphine and take something else for the pain, horrid drug and not good for long term use.
I use time release morphine along with Hydrocodone for break thorough pain. I had a hard time getting use to it but now appreciate the ability to use less hydrocodone and fewer ups ans lows in pain.
My medical condition is spinal fracture recovery. I have many drug allergies. This drug is given on a trial basis to see how well my system can tolerate it. I have taken this drug less than 3 months. (The current dosage is 15mg twice daily.) I feel I would benefit more with a stronger dosage. Prior to MS Contin (morphine)15mg), I took Oxycontin CR 10mg NF, Meloxycam 7.5mg, and Hydroncodone/APAP 5-500mg. MS Contin (morphine)15mg is enabling me to continue with physical therapy.
I was on methadone because of opiod addiction. Then I was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer because I was on methadone I felt no pain. Well when I moved back to my home town to be with family they switched me to morphine 100mg er and 15mg instant release for first couple of weeks it seemed not to work but I learned it was because methadone blocks other opiods but ounce it built up in my system it has worked well for pain. First month constapation take mirolax. Always eat something even if small to battle upset stomach.
my grand dad was in a severe car crash last week, hes 72, it was in the papers as he held up the tram service in salford, he had his pelvis smashed in and others injurys too, he as been on morphine, and seems spaced out and seems very confused, and he hallusinates, he thought he was having his operation in the vets because he saw dogs, its definitely affected his memory, because for a 72 yr old its usually great.
I am on both extended release and immediate release Morphine. Both 30 Mgs each. It has been my Godsend medication because I have no desire to have my head or thinking compromised. Morphine does not compromise your ability to think and do the things you desire to do, actually it is quiet the opposite. I am able to do many of the activities I was unable to do due to the extreme pain as a result in every effort at doing anything like moving, sleeping, getting in and out of bed, taking a shower or bath, getting dressed, activities others may take for granted have been a reality once again if I take my Morphine as prescribed. I have no desire to increase my dosage either. I just discuss tolerance with my PM Doctor and we tweak the meds, always working at keeping the lowest dose possible so we have room to continue to grow and help my pain levels. I am never pain free, however, Morphine has made my life liveable and as close to being free of pain I think I am going to get. I would recommend
This drug makes my husband knot-out like he is very loaded on drugs, he talks about things that are not there, things that he makes no sense saying, just so much and cannot stand up straight, can't remember anything. I don't like it wish the Dr. could find something else to give him. He well not let tell the Dr. to change his meds.
A fractured lumbar vertebra in 1984. Constant pain since and subsequent diagnose of fibro, chronic shoulder calcification,carpal-tunnel,De Quervain's, and a herniated disc~9mm in size with severe sciatica. I was on MS SR 450mg/day (30mg X 5 X 3) about 3 years ago but decreased on my own to 240mg/day. Total time on MS SR: 8 years. VERY aware & frightened of withdrawal/dependence. But when taken as prescribed, there is no "high" or impairment of mental or physical. Just NO PAIN. NO other side effects AT ALL! Indeed a miracle drug but hard to gain employment due to the stigma. A very sorry & sad situation even for intelligent(?) people to consider. Have had a hard time obtaining a job. Have had DR. write letters re: my excellent lucidity and physical function. Anyone know an advocate to assist honest individuals? Sure wish I did. People think you are high on something like heroin, but that is just NOT a FACT! Look out for constipation!! Alli is the only thing to work for me.

A freshman has never won the Heisman Trophy, but Aggie Johnny Manziel has a chance to change that. Texas A&M is now putting some web support behind that possibility.
AggieAthletics.com has launched a site -- heisman.aggieathletics.com -- to help get the word out about the A&M quarterback who is setting records and garnering in-season awards.
The site features a newspaper profile of Manziel, a variety of videos and statistics, and mentions of the Aggie by prominent people through Twitter, from media members to legendary athletes like Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton and NBA legend David Robinson.
The Twitter hashtag #JohnnyFootball is promoted by the site. The "Johnny Football" nickname itself has been trademarked by an attorney for the Manziel family.
There is also a link to a fan vote website through ESPN and Nissan. One of the many votes for the Heisman will be cast based on fan voting on that site.
The Heisman Trophy has been given out to college football's most outstanding player since 1935. John David Crow is the lone Aggie to ever win. He was awarded the trophy in 1957.

Freehold, New Jersey: Federici's Pizza
It's named Federici's Italian Restaurant, but you come here for the pizza. Folks from the Freehold, New Jersey, area have been doing so since 1946, when brothers Dante Federici and Frank "Spat" Federici Jr. returned from WWII and joined their parents in the family business. With their mother, they put pizza on the restaurant's menu, which had been in operation in some form or other since 1921 (first as a billiard parlor that served food, then as a bar with food, then a full-blown restaurant). The place looks like it never really shook the bar vibe and remains a bit of a throwback to the loungey '70s. Not that that's a bad thing. When you walk into a place like this, you hope they haven't done anything to "update" (read "screw up") the pizza in the intervening years. More

They carry the names of my paternal grandmother, my husband's paternal grandmother, one of my maternal great-grandmothers and, coincidently, one of my paternal great-great grandfathers (we did not know this when he was named).
- Bear an ancestor's given names (M) I was not named for ancestors, but do share my middle name, Elizabeth, with at least 3 ancestors. A 3rd great-grandmother was named Susannah. (H) My husband shares his middle name (an ancestor's surname) with his mother and great-grandmother and on back.
- Have an ancestor from Great Britain or Ireland (M) (H) Scads of them.

The one in Slovakia had dirt floors, minimal plumbing and was set on a small plot of land in a remote village in the Carpathian mountains. It was a breathtakingly beautiful spot, but clearly impoverished. The one in Virginia is a meticulously preserved colonial home, complete with gardens, still part of a working farm, set on a hill with sweeping views toward the Chesapeake Bay.

EUGENE, Ore. - Cal State Northridge concluded competition at the NCAA West Preliminary Round Saturday as the Matadors sent their women's 1600 meter relay team and men's 400 meter relay team looking to advance to the NCAA Championships.
Unfortunately, CSUN came up empty on the final day of the meet as the women finished 18th while the men came in 20th. Individually, senior Desirae Gonder finished tied for 32nd in the high jump.
The women's 4x400 relay team of Sherrina Lofton, Precious Watkins, Desirae Gonder and Jackie Harrison, which came in with the meet ranked 15th with a season-best of 3:37.57, finished in 3:42.59 which was seventh in their heat and 18th overall. Only the top-12 teams advanced to the NCAA Championships.
The men's 4x100 team, which consisted of Sean Alfino, Carl Horsley, Darquis Rucker and David Reid, clocked a time of 42.09 which was seventh in heat two and 20th overall. The team came in with a season-best of 40.57 which ranked 21st in the region.
Gonder, a contender for the top women's athlete in the Big West this season, completed her career with a disappointing 32nd-place finish in the high jump. The Big West champion finished with a best height of 5-5 (1.65) after missing on all three attempts at 5-7 (1.70). Gonder's top jump this season was 5-10 (1.78) and her career-best was 6-0.50 (1.84).
The cold and wet Oregon weather may have been a difference maker for the Matadors over the last three days.
"We didn't handle the weather real well," said head coach Don Strametz. "We thought we had a chance in the mile relay today, we just came up short."
Lofton will represent Cal State Northridge in the heptathlon at the NCAA Championships June 8-11 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.

The candidates go through a rigorous selection process that requires screening by the SNAS selection committee, review of reports from nominators, lists of publications, and finally a review by the SNAS Council.
Nov 2011 - IMRE's Dr Emma Luong Van will lead a joint project with Dr Bina Rai from the Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) under a research grant under the A*STAR Scientific Conference Young Research Collaborative Grant on enhanced bone implants. The R&D project looks at new nanocomposite material for bone implants that not only make the implants stronger but has embedded biomolecules that enhances the healing of damaged bones. The researcher's goal is to create a synthetic material that has both the bone healing properties as well as the load-bearing mechanical properties of natural bone. The researchers believe that the material developed will have strong clinical potential.
Nov 2011 - Three A*STAR scholars attached to IMRE made it to the A*STAR Chairman's Honours List. The 3 scholars Serene Chen Wei Yan, Seah Kang Yee and Tan Siah Hong are in IMRE for an interim attachment before proceeding to do their doctorates overseas. Serene who will be heading to Imperial College London is working on an IMRE-NUS project focusing on the computational aspects of halogen-bonded supramolecular assembly. Kang Yee who is bound also for Imperial College London is working in IMRE on a project dealing with the synthesis of conjugated organic polymers for use in organic solar cells. Siah Hong who will be heading to Johns Hopkins University is currently exploring p-type silicon as a candidate photocathode material for light-assisted water splitting, using micro- and nanostructuring techniques in IMRE.
May 2011 – A research paper by Dr Zhang Zhong-Xing, Dr Liu Kerh Li, and Dr Li Jun on "Self-Assembly and Micellization of a Dual Thermoresponsive Supramolecular Pseudo-Block Copolymer" was cited as one of the Top 10 Most Read Articles for Q1 2011 for Macromolecules for ACS publications. The paper explores studies on the self-assembly and thermosensitive micellization phenomena of a supramolecular polymeric host−guest system in aqueous solution.
Apr 2011 - A paper titled "Transparent, Well-Aligned TiO2 Nanotube Arrays with Controllable Dimensions on Glass Substrates for Photocatalytic Applications" by Dr Gao Han, Ms Tan Lee Kheng and Dr Manipaddy Kumar was one of the top 5 most accessed articles in 2010 for ACS Applied Materials & Science. By using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, the researchers were able to make nanotubes with wall thicknesses that could be precisely controlled so that they were sufficiently thin to be transparent while sufficiently thick for excellent photocatalytic performances. The transparent TiO2 nanotube arrays on glass substrates with excellent photocatalytic properties might have potential applications in self-cleaning coating, transparent electronics, and solar cells.
Feb 2011 - Nanodisk heterostructures consisting of monoclinic Cu1.94S and wurtzite CdS have been colloidally synthesised for the first time. This was described in a paper by IMRE's Dr Han Ming Yong, Dr Michelle D. Regulacio, Dr Lim Suo Hon, Dr Michel Bosman and Dr Zhang Jie on "One-Pot Synthesis of Cu1.94S−CdS and Cu1.94S−ZnxCd1−xS Nanodisk Heterostructures" ; J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2011, 133 (7), pp 2052–2055; DOI:10.1021/ja1090589 . Initially, hexagonal-shaped nanodisks of Cu1.94S were produced upon thermolysis of a copper complex in a solvent mixture of HDA and TOA at 250 °C. Rapid addition of Cd precursor to the reaction mixture resulted in the partial conversion of Cu1.94S into CdS, yielding Cu1.94S−CdS nanoheterostructures. The original morphology of the Cu1.94S nanodisks was conserved during the transformation. When Zn precursor was added together with the Cd precursor, Cu1.94S−ZnxCd1−xS nanodisks were generated. The unique feature that sets this method from currently practiced techniques is that it creates p-n junctions in a single nanocrystal.
Jan 2011 - A paper by Dr Wang Fuke and Dr He Chaobin on 'Prepare Janus nanoparticles by a simple interfacial process' was featured in the 'Noteworthy Chemistry' for the week of 31 January 2011 on the American Chemical Society (ACS) website. Most processes for making Janus nanoparticles require special techniques and long procedures. The IMRE team developed an easy, rapid process for preparing hybrid Janus nanoparticles.
Jan 2011 - Dr Le Hong Quang and Dr Tan Yen Nee were successfully accepted into the exchange programme, JENESYS (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths), which is done in association with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).

Jan 2011 - Dr Nikodem Tomczak was selected as a new Board Member of the European Polymer Journal. As a Board Member, Dr Tomczak will look at maintaining and improving the journal standards, i.e. monitoring the editorial policy, in terms of coverage and quality of the papers submitted.This journal acts as a medium for the exchange of research in the area of macromolecular substances, both synthetic and natural, and publishes results bearing on the physics or chemistry of polymers.
Dec 2010 - A paper by IMRE's Dr Han Ming-Yong and Dr Liu Shuhua was cited as one of the top downloaded articles for 2010 by Chemistry – An Asian Journal. The paper was on Silica-Coated Metal Nanoparticles. The advanced high-quality synthesis of dense and porous silica-coated nanostructures is enjoying ever-increasing research interests for their important properties and diverse applications, especially for catalytic, controlled release, colorimetric diagnostics, photothermal therapy, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection, and so forth. Dr. Han Ming-Yong and Dr. Liu Shuhua are looking to develop robust biocompatible silica-coated surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanotags for diverse in-vitro-& in-vivo bio-applications. Additionally, they are going beyond silica nanoshell materials and doing technologically important oxide-coating research recently in order to develop green and robust nanocatalysts for sustainable environment and better life.
Oct 2010 - A new revolutionary technique for making hydrogels that is biocompatible, biodegradable and can be easily moulded into various shapes and sizes was published in a paper by IMRE's Dr Liu Ye, Dr Wu De Cheng and Dr Loh Xian Jun. Entitled, "'Living' Controlled in Situ Gelling Systems: Thiol−Disulfide Exchange Method toward Tailor-Made Biodegradable Hydrogels"; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2010, 132 (43), pp 15140–15143; DOI:10.1021 /ja106639c, the paper talked about a 'living' controlled hydrogel formation method to create loose and compact in situ biodegradable hydrogels. The method executed under mild reaction conditions can conveniently tailor the hydrogel properties. The unique advantage of this novel approach lies in the "living" property, i.e., the cross-linking can be initiated, terminated and re-initiated in cycle. Therefore the cross-linking degree of the same hydrogel can be tuned to meet requirements easily and in a controllable way. In contrast, it is difficult to control the cross-linking degree of other approaches once the cross-linking reactions are started. The innovation can be exploited to prepare 'block' hydrogels, micro-/nano- hydrogels, hydrogel fibres and capsules incorporating active agents for drug delivery, tissue engineering and other biomedical applications

March Madness is in the air. That means that in addition to watching televised National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball games and tracking online scores, a lot of folks are keeping a close eye on the betting lines.
True, unless you're in Nevada, putting a few bucks on NCAA basketball championship games is illegal. That technicality, however, doesn't stop avid roundball fans and inveterate bettors. For U.S. gamblers, the annual college basketball tournament is second only to the Super Bowl.
Many bets are just friendly wagers -- a dollar in the office pool or a good-natured bet with that neighbor who's a North Carolina graduate.
But other basketball fans take the games more seriously and hand over big bucks to bookmakers, legal and not-so-legal.
Nevada is the only state in which legal sports bets can be placed. The Nevada Gaming Commission estimates March Madness wagering will be around $90 million. But you can be sure that much or more will be wagered illegally.
All this betting interest prompted the NCAA to send representatives to meet with sports-book operators in Las Vegas to watch for suspicious wagering patterns as the tournament began last month.
Another group also is carefully watching the NCAA betting action: the Internal Revenue Service. All these sports wagers spotlight the persistent problem that the agency faces in tracking and taxing gambling winnings. It's a challenge the agency faces daily because many people don't realize that gambling winnings, even the illegal payouts, are taxable. Of those who do know, a good portion simply choose to ignore the tax law.
the IRS is playing catch-up
here. While the U.S. income
tax is a 19th century creation,
gambling has been around at
least since man was able to
record his activities. Dice
almost identical to those
used on today's gaming tables
have been recovered from Egyptian
tombs, and the Chinese, Japanese,
Greeks and Romans all were
known to play games of chance
as early as 2300 B.C.
Nowadays, in addition to the well-publicized offerings of Las Vegas, Reno and Atlantic City, betting is commonplace throughout the United States. The choices range from off-track betting parlors to tribal bingo games to riverboat casinos to state-operated lotteries.
gambling down, but not out
Then there's online gambling. A decade ago, The Washington Post reported "at least 140 Web sites now offer some form of wagering to online users -- an expansion in recent years that has alarmed opponents and put increased focus on the laws that govern Internet gambling." By 2005, research firm Christiansen Capital Advisors estimated that nearly 23 million people gambled on the Internet, with approximately 8 million of those gamblers from the United States.
It's easy to see why the numbers have grown so much. Type "online gambling" into any Internet search engine and within seconds you'll have a list of hundreds of thousands of potential gambling sites. This is in spite of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which was passed without much fanfare and signed into law in late 2006 in an effort to restrict U.S. gamblers' access to these typically foreign-based Web sites. It is now a federal crime for U.S. banks and credit card companies to process Internet-bet payments.
Some companies have curtailed their U.S. betting operations, but in reality, the law has had little effect. And in the global arena, America is coming up short. The World Trade Organization, or WTO, has ruled against the United States in a dispute over Internet gambling operations based in Antigua.
