The Seagulls held Ian holloway's side to a goalless stalemate at Selhurst Park on Friday night with the second leg to come back in Brighton on Monday.
Bridcutt hailed a 'massive result' as the Seagulls attempt to win through to the Wembley final against either Leicester or Watford.
He told Sky Sports: "It's a massive result for us. Teams come here and get turned over quite easily and we have played well at times and now we have to go back to our home ground and we've got an advantage now.
"It's been a long week building up to the game and we're just looking forward to taking the game back home and going for the win."

The next time you read that NASA declares this or that day, month or year the hottest since yadda, yadda, yadda — you might want to check the source. It's a pretty safe bet that it came from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies and probably quotes its director, James Hansen.
One would imagine that if you can trust any organization regarding reliable climate information, it would be NASA, right? Particularly a NASA organization named after Dr. Robert H. Goddard, widely recognized as the "father of American rocketry." Think how important it is to get weather information right when launching people into space, and consider all those satellites and other high-tech stuff they have at their disposal. One would certainly believe that they could be relied on to give us the real scoop. Unfortunately, one might be very wrong, at least regarding the Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
First of all, GISS is actually only a climate modeling shop that relies on surface (not satellite) data that is mostly supplied by others. And even some top NASA scientists consider the dataset produced by GISS inferior to data provided by two other principal organizations, the National Climate Data Center's Global Historical Climatology Network and the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) — home of the "ClimateGate" scandal.
As reported in a NASA memo to USA Today's weather editor from Reto Ruedy at GISS: "My recommendation to you is to continue using NCRDC [NOAA] data for U.S. mean [temperatures] and Phil Jones' [CRU] data for the global mean…We are basically a modeling group…for that purpose what we do is more than accurate enough [to assess model results]. But we have no intention to compete with either of the other two organizations in what they do best." He clarified this point, saying, "…the National Climate Center's procedure of only using the best stations is more accurate."
And just how good is that CRU data? One ClimateGate log posted by database programmer Ian "Harry" Harris doesn't provide much public confidence, reporting: "[The] hopeless state of their [CRU] database. No uniform data integrity. It's just a catalogue of issues that continues to grow as they're found…There are hundreds if not thousands of pairs of dummy stations…and duplicates…Aarrggghh! There truly is no end in sight. This project is such a MESS. No wonder I needed therapy!!"
In a ClimateGate e-mail, CRU Director Phil Jones has acknowledged that CRU mirrors U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data. "Almost all the data we have in the CRU archive is exactly the same as in the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) archive used by the NOAA National Climate Data Center," the e-mail said. And as noted by meteorologist Joseph D'Aleo in a January 28, 2011 Energy Tribune article, NASA GISS also uses NOAA data, applying its own adjustments. While all three databases suffer from the same flaws, NASA "tuning" tends to show the warmest trend anomalies, with CRU's generally the lowest, according to D'Aleo. Such differences result from various assumptions regarding unknowns such as changing urbanization and other land use influences that contaminate surface temperature recordings.
Dr. Ruedy of GISS confessed in an email that "[the United States Historical Climate Network] data are not routinely kept up-to-date, and in another that NASA had inflated its temperature data since 2000 on a questionable basis. "NASA's assumption that the adjustments made the older data consistent with future data…may not have been correct", he said. "Indeed, in 490 of the 1,057 stations the USHCN data was up to 1 C degree colder than the corresponding GHCN data, in 77 stations the data was the same, and in the remaining 490 stations the USHCN data was warmer than the GHCN data."
Anthony Watts, a meteorologist who has conducted extensive surveys of NOAA temperature recording posts, told FoxNews.com in February 2010 that "…90 % of them [surface stations] don't meet the [government's] old, simple rule called the '100-foot rule for keeping thermometers 100 feet or more from biasing influence… and we've got documentation".
NOAA and NASA have both received legal Freedom of Information Act requests for unadjusted data and documentation of all adjustments they have made in order to assess the reliability of their reports in keeping with a Data Quality Act requiring that any published data must be able to be replicated by independent audits. And both have resisted these requests despite promises of transparency and the fact that together they receive nearly a billion dollars in direct annual government climate research funding. They are to also receive up to $600 million more from the Recovery Act of 2009.
Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute has sought NASA GISS records through the FOIA for three years, including documents related to human-caused global climate crisis theory promotions undertaken by federal employees such as those of Gavin Schmidt, a principal blogger with the aggressively global warming activist RealClimate.org website. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in August of 2007 and January of 2008, the CEI vs. NASA suit specifically seeks documents related to temperature records that NASA was forced to correct in response to criticism from a leading climate watchdog and RealClimate.org nemesis Steve McIntyre. NASA released some documents, arguing that those associated with RealClimate.org were "agency records", and then ceased to comply after admitting that 3,500 RealClimate.org-related emails had been found on Schmidt's computer.
The American Tradition Institute's Environmental Law Center also filed a FOIA lawsuit in the federal district court in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on June 21, 2011 to force NASA to release records that pertain to James Hansen's outside income-producing activities which have brought him at least $1.2 million in the past four years alone. ATI is seeking documents revealing possible noncompliance with applicable federal ethics and disclosure regulations, and with NASA Rules of Behavior. Hansen's high profile global warming alarmism and related energy policy statements fall far outside his official Civil Service job role.
Hansen first gained worldwide attention in 1988 following testimony before then-Senator Al Gore's Committee on Science, Technology and Space when he stated with 99 % certainty that temperatures had in fact increased, and that there had been some greenhouse warming, although he then made no direct connection between the two. This observation was consistent with concerns about a particularly warm summer that year in some U.S. regions.
Over time Hansen's pronouncements became ever more dramatic. In a Dec. 6, 2005 presentation to the American Geophysical Union he stated that the Earth's climate was already reaching a tipping point that will result in the loss of Arctic ice as we know it, with sea levels rising as much as 80 feet during this century (40 times higher than even the upper end of the most recent alarmist U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change summary report has projected), thus flooding coastal areas. He warned that this could be halted only if greenhouse gas emissions were reduced within the next 25 years.
In a Jan. 29, 2006, New York Times interview Hansen charged that NASA public relations people had pressured him to allow them to review future public lectures, papers and postings on the GISS website. Yet in January 15, 2009 testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works-Minority Committee, his former boss John S. Theon, retired chief of NASA's Climate Processes Research Program, took issue with the interference charge, stating: "Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind's effect on it). Hansen has embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claim of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress."
Dr. Theon also testified that: "My own belief concerning anthropogenic [man-made] climate change is that models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit". He observed: "Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modeled in the observations, nor explain how they did it…this is contrary to the way science should be done." He then went on to say "Thus, there is no rational justification for using climate model forecasts to determine public policy".
Many members of the newly reconstituted U.S. Congress who are determined to cut non-essential government spending are very likely to agree. Perhaps this circumstance will substantially chill the overheated atmosphere surrounding NASA GISS operations.

The French defender, who can also play as a striker, has attracted a great deal of interest in the past 12 months.
He almost joined West Ham United in the summer after impressing on trial but they could not agree a fee.
Aside from his loan spell at Ipswich, he has also trained with Birmingham, Stevenage and Nottingham Forest, who he was set to join before Alex McLeish's departure.
Now he is with Blackpool, who have long been interested in acquiring his services, but it remains to be seen if they can strike a loan deal with Southend.

Dm. z, 195s E W. MEYER ETAL PROTEIN AND PROCESS Filed March 12, 1956 ACYLATED, ISOLTED, PARTIALLY-HYDROLYZED, SOYA Eow//v W MEYER S/DNEY J- CIRCLE INVENTORS ACYLATED, ISULATED, PARTIALLY-HYDR- LYZED, SOYA PROTElN AND PROCESS Edwin W. Meyer and Sidney I. Circle, Chicago, Ill., as-
signors to The Glidden Company, Cleveland, Ohio, a corporation of @hie i Application March 12, 1956, Serial No. 570,970
7 Claims. (Cl. 2641-1235) This invention relates to novel compositions of matter and more particularly it relates to acylated, isolated, hydrolyzed soybean protein compositions. Especially it relates to such acylated isolated soya protein compositions in which the isolated soybean protein has been hydrolyzed beyond the initial gel stage as hereinafter defined and 'then acylated, and to a novel process for preparing such compositions.
Our co-pending application, Serial No. 570,702, tiled March 12, 1956, describes and claims pigmented coating compositions containing an acylated, iso-lated, hydrolyzed soybean protein which can be prepared according to the present invention. Said pigmented compositions are suitable for the coating of paper and other cellulosic webs. As is disclosed in the aforesaid co-pending application, the acylated protein products confer improved adhesiveness of the coating to the web and in the case f acylated, isolated, hydrolyzed, soya protein also confer greater fluidity to the coating colors. The present invention describes a process of acylating isolated, hydrolyzed, soybean protein thereby to obtain a product whose alkaline dispersion is characterized by greater uidity, and also describes and claims the acylated proteins resulting from such a process.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a novel process for preparing acylated, isolated, hydrolyzed, soybean protein which can be dispersed in aqueous alkaline solutions to give dispersions characterized by enhanced fluidity.
It is another object to provide novel acylated soybean protein compositions of the character described last above.
These and other objects of our invention will be apparent from the following description amplified by the figures of drawings appended hereto in which:
Fig. l is a graphical representation of the relation between viscosity and degree of alkaline treatment of isolated soybean protein;
Fig. II is a graphical representation of the relationship between viscosity of pigmented coating compositions containing modified and unmodified hydrolyzed soybean proteins and the degree of alkaline treatment (indicated by time, in hours, of the alkaline hydrolysis) of the moditied and unmodified proteins; i
Fig. lll is a graphical representation indicating the relation between the adhesion index of pigmented coating compositions containing modified and unmodified proteins and the degree of alkaline treatment (indicated asin Fig. Il).
The isolated, hydrolyzed soybean protein which can be treated in accordance with the process of the present invention is a puried soybean protein in the sense that it has undergone a refining process designed to removesubstantially all of the oil, sugars, fibrous material and other components originally present along with the proteinaceous material in the soya bean. In its isolated state, the soybean protein is characterized by being essentially an alkali-soluble, acid-precipitable composition. The isolation and alkaline hydrolysis of such proteinaceousstartatent O p 2,562,918 Patented Dec. 2, 1958 ing material for our invention can be accomplished by any of a variety of well-known procedures. Such procedures form no part of the present invention. Accordingly, discussion of this portion of the prior art seems unnecessary .beyond calling attention to representative patents which indicate the variety of preparative procedures available to those skilled in the art to obtain the starting material for our novel process. Such patents include U. S. Patents 1,955,375, 2,233,439, 2,238,329, 2,246,466, 2,304,099 and 2,588,392. The disclosures of these patents with respect to the isolation and alkaline hydrolysis of soybean protein are here incorporated by reference.
As has been suggested hereinabove, hydrolysis of isolated soybean protein is a Well known procedure and is disclosed in numerous variations in the prior art including some of the above mentioned patents. The alkaline treatment of isolated soybean protein has been the subject of considerable study and has shown that upon subjecting isolated soybean protein to an alkaline treatment with any of a variety of alkaline reagents the globulins pass through a series of transformations, the exact nature of which is not completely understood. However, the changes which occur on continuing the alkaline treatment can be followed by observing the viscosity characteristics of the dispersed protein. As described in U. S. Patent 2,381,407, page l, col. 2, line 40 ff, and represented graphically in Fig. I appendedhereto, the viscosity of the hydrolyzing soybean protein sol.1 initially increases until a gel state has been reached.. This Vis indicated by a maximum viscosity and in Fig. I by the region A. Upon continuing the alkaline treatment, denaturation and hydrolysis apparently continues and the gel phase disappears. This is indicated by a rapid drop in viscosity which, upon continuation of the alkaline treatment approaches a minimum viscosity value. The area, region B of Fig. I replresents hydrolyzed soya protein which has passed through the gel stage. The ultimate point of region B is that stage wherein most of the peptide bonds originally present in the protein molecule have been severed. Figgl is an idealized representation of this phenomenon. The character, form and details of the curves and data indicated thereon will be different from each alkaline treatment of soybean protein which is carried out at a specific tcmperature, time, concentration of alkali, and concentration of soybean protein. Even soybean protein derived'from different varieties of soya beans will give different data. However, the general character of the data will be consistent in every instance and this fact permits us to idealize the data and thereby to derive the graphical representation of Fig. I.
For the purposes of our invention, we have determined that the aforementioned advantages of increased fluidity can be obtained only by acylation in accordance with our novel process of an isolated soya protein which has been hydrolyzed beyond the initial gel stage, i. e., `an isolated hydrolyzed soya protein which falls within the region B of Fig. I.
In accordance with our invention, therefore, we'have found that by acylation of an isolated soya protein which has been hydrolyzed beyond the initial gel stage, acylated isolated hydrolyzedV soya protein compositions are obtained which are characterized by increased fluidity Vof their alkaline dispersions, compared to the fluidity of the unacylated isolated hydrolyzed soya protein. These acylated protein compositions of our invention are characterized also by increased utility as adhesives and as components of synthetic fiber spinning compositions.
lAs indicated by extracting samples of the alkaline dis'- person, isolating the protein therefrom in dry form and-determining the viscosity of an 8% protein caustic alkali dispersion of said isolated protein at F. by yknown proce ures.
In carrying out the process of our invention an alkaline protein dispersion, preferably at pH of at least 8 and containing about 2% protein concentration by weight, is treated with at least about 2% by weight on the protein of a carboxylic acid anhydride. The reaction mixture is maintained alkaline, i. e., above about pH 8, if necessary by the addition of an alkali, such as a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Any carboxylic acid anhydride or mixtures of such can be used and in amounts which produce significant acylation of the protein. We have found that in general at least about 2% of the anhydride is required although we prefer to use above about 5% by weight; and especially 10% by weight of anhydride (based on the protein) is advantageously used. One skilled in the art will, of course, have no difficulty in determining the optimum amount of a specific anhydride which will be required to produce optimum results on a specifically preparedisc-lated hydrolyzed soya protein.
Although any carboxylic acid anhydrides or mixtures thereof are contemplated by our invention, we prefer to use dicarboxylic acid anhydrides and especially ,13- dicarboxylic acid anhydrides. Examples of the several varieties of anhydrides which have been found satisfactory for use in our invention are listed below:
Mono carboxylic anhydrides:
Acetic anhydride Propionic anhydride Benzoic acid anhydride Dicarboxylic acid anhydrides:
Glutaric acid anhydride Naphthalic acid anhydride ,-Dicarboxylic anhydrides: Succinic anhydride Dodecenyl succinic anhydride Maleic anhydride Dichloromaleic anhydride Phthalic anhydride Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride Hexahydrophthalic anhydride Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride Nitrophthalic anhydride Examples of the alkaline reagents which have been found suitable for dispersing the isolated, hydrolyzed soybean protein and for maintaining the dispersion in alkaline condition during acylation include the alkaline metal hydroxides, such as sodium and potassium hydroxide, the alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as calcium, barium and strontium hydroxides7 the alkali metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate, the quaternary ammonium hydroxides, such as trimethylbenzylam- -monium hydroxide, and mixtures of these can be used. Preferably sodium hydroxide is used to disperse the protein initially and to maintain the dispersion alkaline during the acylation.
The carboxylic acid anhydride can be added to the alkaline protein dispersion in any suitable and convenient manner. Preferably the solid anhydrides are added in finely-divided form or such that on contact with the alkaline mass it is rendered finely divided. Thus, the anhydride can be added as a fine grind, in the molten state, or as a solution in a non-reactive solvent, Liquid anhydrides, such as acetic anhydride, of course, can be added directly. Mixtures of anhydrides, especially those which form low melting eutectic mixtures can be used, often with advantage.
In the preferred embodiment of the process of our invention, the isolatiomhydrolysis and acylation of the soyalkaline hydrolysis, but after a period suflicient to ini minutes.
ito 4.4 by the addition of sulfur dioxide.
4 sure that the initial gel stage has been traversed and that the protein dispersion lies within the region B of Fig. I, acylation with an na-dicarboxylic acid anhydride is effected, e. g., by addition of a dilute acetone solution of phthalic acid anhydride. The alkaline hydrolysis is completed simultaneously with the acylation step, care being exercised to maintain the reaction mixture sufiiciently alkaline. The time required for acylation will usually depend on the size of the batch and the temperature at which the alkaline hydrolysis is conducted, as well as on the acylating agent.
After acylation has been effected and the desired period Iof hydrolysis has been completed, the modified, i. e., acylated, protein is isolated by the addition of acid to the aqueous dispersion to bring the pH of the latter within the precipitation range of the modified protein. Thereafter, the precipitated protein is settled, the whey decanted, and the curd centrifuged or otherwise freed of excess whey. then, if desired, be washed, filtered, pressed, Or otherwise dewatered and then dried. These latter steps are carried out in the conventional manner in this art and are of no material significance in the present invention. They can be varied or replaced with other steps as desired, which are effective to give a modified protein which can be stored, ground, shipped or used directly in the preparation of coatings, adhesives, spinning solutions and the like.
The following examples illustrate the principles of our invention and include the best modes presently known to us for practicing these principles.
EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of acylated protein Soybeans were extracted in a known way, which con' stitutes no part of our invention, with an organic solvent to remove substantially all of the oil therein. One hundred parts (by weight) of the extracted residue, in the form of flakes, were agitated for 1.5 hours with a suspension of 2.5 parts of lime and 1400 parts of water at F. The resulting slurry was filtered over screens to recover 1200 parts of lime liquor. The spent akes were reslurried in a mixture of 1150 parts of water and 2 parts of sodium hydroxide at 120F. for ten This slurry was separated by screening into 950 parts of caustic liquor and a residue of spent flakes. The latter were washed oy reslurrying in 1200 parts of water at 145 F., and the slurry was filtered over screens to yield a wash liquor and washed spent flakes. These were pressed to give an additional parts of wash liquor. All of the wash liquor (1300 parts) was 'added to the lime liquor, and the combined mass was rendered acid to a pH of 4.6 by the addition of sulfur dioxide. The precipitate which formed was allowed to settle, and the supernatant whey was decanted from the curd (550 parts). The wet curd was reslurried in the 950 parts of caustic liquor, identified above, and to this slurry was added 3.4 parts of lirne and 4.8 parts of soda ash. The mixture, containing about 33 parts of protein, was heated and agitated at F. for 6 hours, during which period it was clarified by centrifuging. A solution of 4.125 parts of phthalic acid anhydride dissolved in 200 parts (by volume of acetone was added dropwise to the hot protein solution during a period of about 25 minutes. During this addition, the pH of the mixture was maintained at 9.5, as closely as feasible .by the dropwise addition of 10% aqueous caustic soda.
The reaction mixture was agitated for about 35 minutes thereafter to complete a seven-hour hydrolysis period.
The mass was then rendered acid to a pH of 4.2 The resultant slurry was permitted to settle for about 16 hours and Vthen after the whey had been decanted the curd was 4pressed to a cake, granulated and then dried at 140 F.
The recovered modified protein can Y aeeaeie In similar manners, acylated isolated soya proteins are prepared using in place of phthalic acid anhydride an equal weight -of maleic acid anhydride or of succinic acid anhydride. l
In another treatment, the dibasic acid anhydride was added to the alkaline protein solution as a finely ground powder instead of as a solution in acetone, over a period of about minutes. In this manner, acylated protein of comparable properties Was obtained. Y
In such instance, the acylated protein material when used as a component of a paper coating composition gave coatings which were superior in respect to adhesion as compared to similar coatings prepared by using Alpha protein, and were approximately equal to the adhesion of coatings prepared using Sheffield casein.
Preparation of coating composition and coated paper The acylated protein mass prepared as described in Example 1 above was tested in paper coating compositions as follows: v
The protein mass was thoroughly wetted Aout in water by mixing 50 grams of the protein in 200 grams of Water for live minutes, at about 75 F. Thereafter, a solution containing 1 gram 28% aqua ammonia was added and followed with 6 grams of sodium carbonate. Then 50 grams of water was added to the protein dispersion and the mixture was heated to and maintained at 135 to 140 F. for 45 minutes. To 150 grams of the clean a slurry of 200 grams of HT Clay (commercial coating clay of medium size, product of Minerals and Chemicals Corp. of America, Edgar Div.) in 212 grams of water was added, and the mixture was agitated until uniformly blended.
The viscosity at 90 F. of a 40% solids coating mixture was determined with a Brookeld viscosimeter at 30 R. P. M. and 60 R. P. M.
The coating composition Was applied to three co1nmercial grades of paper using a Meyer Rod No. 22. The sheets of coated base stock were dried, calendered and conditioned at 73 F., 50% pH for about 3 hours (see TAPPI Standard T402m) before subjecting them to the wax test for surface strength of paper (see Tappi Standard "1459111-45).
An Alpha protein control Was prepared in accordance with Example 1 and is shown in the following table for comparison purposes.
In similar manner coating compositions Were prepared using various acylated soya proteins indicated below. The acrylating treatment was conducted in the manner described in Example 1, using the amounts of acid anhydrides indicated in the table in percent by weight on the protein. The protein, unless otherwise indicated, was Alpha rotein, an isolated, hydrolyzed soya protein prepared commercially by The Glidden Company.

EXAMPLE 2 Acelic anhydride acylation An isolated soybean protein alkaline dispersion con-` taining about 2% by weight of protein equal to about 1500 parts by Weight of protein which had been hydrolyzed to beyond the initial gel stage was prepared as described in Example 1, with the single exception that agitation at F. was permitted to continue for 5 hours, instead of 6 as in Example l. At this point in the alkaline treatment, to the protein liquor, the pH of which was 11.4, Was added during about l hour, 180 parts (or 12% by weight on the protein) of acetic anhydride. The alkaline treatment at 120 F. was continued for 1 hour thereafter, at which time the pH of the mass was 8.5. The product of this acylation reaction Was precipitated by rendering the mass acid to pH 4.1 with gaseous sulfur dioxide and the precipitated product was isolated in the usual manner. As a control, a portion of the alkaline liquor prior to acylation was separated from the batch and after 6 hours of treatment at 120 F. was precipitated at pH 4.5 and the unacylated product isolated in the same manner as the acylated protein.
The characteristics of the acetylated protein were compared to those of the control as tabulated below.
f 111 Viscosity is that of a sodium carbonate cut which was prepared as o ows:
10 grams of the protein adjusted to 95% moisture Was suspended in 50 m1. of Water and permitted to stand for ltlminutes and then placed in a water bath at F. for 10 minutes. The suspension was agitated and 10 mi. ot 10% aqueous sodium carbonate was added. The mixture was thereafter held in the water bath for twenty minutes, stirring the "cut occasionally. Next, 20 ml. of hot (160 F.) Water was added and the mixture held at F. for 10 minutes. It was then permitted to cool to room temperature (75 F.) and adjusted to 90.8 g. by the addition of Water. The dispersion was cooled to 20 C. and the time, in seconds` for ameastured volume to ow from a 50 mi. pipette was determined as the viscosi y.
The adhesion of pigmented paper coatings prepared with those proteins was determined and indicated that the acylated protein composition was superior in this respect to the analogous compositions containing the unacylated protein control.
Similar acylated proteins were prepared in analogous fashion in which an equal weight of a mixture of acetic acid propionic anhydrides was used.
EXAMPLE 3 In order to study the eiect of length of alkaline treatment upon both modied and unmodified soybean protein the following experiment was undertaken:
By a procedure analogous to that described in Example 1 above, soybean protein was isolated from 5000 grams of oil-free soybean flakes to the initial curd stage. This curd, in the amount of 24 liters, was diluted to 72 liters with water and the slurry was heated to 120iF. At veminute intervals, 84 grams of lime, 150 grams of caustic soda and 120 grams of soda ash were added to the slurry. The mixture was agitated for 1 hour at about 120 F. and then centrifuged, holding the slurry and centrifugate at about 120 F. There was obtained sixty liters of clarified liquor. This .was divided intosix equal in hours, of the alkaline treatment.

For obvious reasons the character of the acidified unacylated proteins represents a ner control against which the acylated protein should be compared, particularly because the extent of alkaline treatment is more comparable at the samev pH. For this reason the viscosity characteristics of the unacidied control (portions A, D, etc.) are not included hereinabove.
Paper coating compositions were prepared as described in Example 1 above with each of the above prepared acylated, isolated, hydrolyzed, soybean protein compositions. In each instance the viscosity of the coating color and Adhesion index of the paper coatings made therewith were determined. The data obtained from these tests are shown on the attached graphs, Figs. II and III, respectively.
Fig. Il, which is a graphical representation of the relationship of the viscosity, as determined with a Brookeld kviscosimeter at 30 R. P. M. and at 90 F. and the time, In each instance, `the viscosity decreases as the duration of alkaline treat- Under the specic conditions of this alkaline treatment, it is evident that the 4 hour period is just beyond the time required to pass through the initial gel stage, since the viscosity decreases rapidly -as alkaline treatment is extended to about 5.5 hours afterrwhich time the viscosity in each instance levels of. This rapid decrease in viscosity is most noticeable with the coating colors containing unmodified soybean protein. Particularly, it should be noted from these data that at all times the viscosity of the acylated protein-containing coating color (curve 3) is significantly less than that of the unacylated protein-containing coating colors (curves l and 2).
Fig. III which shows graphically the relationship of the Adhesion index of paper coatings prepared from these coating colors containing modified and unmodified soybean protein with time, in hours, of alkaline treatment thereof. As is evident from this graph, the Adhesion index of acylated isolated soybean protein which has been hydrolyzed to beyond the initial gel stage is significantly better than the Adhesion index" of unacylated similarly treated isolated soybean protein.
Adhesion index The adhesive character of a paper coating composition on coating base stock was determined according to thc conventional Tappi Standard T459m45. The coating color was applied to three commercial grades of coating base stock using a Meyer Rod No. 22. The coated test sheets were dried, calendered and conditioned at 73 F., 50 R. H. for about 3 hours, as prescribed in Tappi Standard T402m.
The adhesive strength of the surface coating so prepared is determined using Standard Dennison Waxes which are rated in whole numbers. However, an experienced operator can, and usually does, distinguish gradations of scoring within the range of each standard. Thus, the practiced operator usually reports a series of picks with the number of the standard wax together with the qualifying rating of slightly or very slightly, better or worse. Since in our tests we have made it a practice to evaluate each coating color on three coating base stocks, we have, in order to arrive at a numerical average for the three results, arbitrarily assigned a frac- Arbitrary fractional Pick value reported by operator value assigned Thus the term Adhesion index as used herein is the arithmetical average of the arbitrarily assigned numerical values given the results reported in the Pick Tests by the Testing Laboratory, with a coating color on the three coating base stocks. This gives a single value, Adhesion index, for the adhesiveness of one coating color on several types of coating base stock or permits the averaging of several Pickings on one type of coating base stock.
It will be readily seen from the foregoing examples that improved acylated, isolated, hydrolyzed soybean proteins have been provided, which acylated proteins are useful as the adhesive components in paper coating compositions. Our invention, however. is not to be limited to the several variations disclosed in these illustrative examples.
Thus, any carboxylic acid anhydride which will react with the amino or other reactive moiety of the protein molecule can be used. As has been indicated above, the extent of alkaline treatment which can be given the isolated protein should be at least that required to ensure passage through the initial gel stage. Due to the wide fluctuation in soybean protein compositions, this factor is dicult if not impossible to assign a numerical value, but it will be apparent to those skilled in the art of hydrolyzing isolated soybean proteins.
The processes of our invention also can be varied from those ill-ustrated in the above examples. For example, the acylation can be carried out at any convenient temperature. Since this step is effected in alkaline media, it is obvious that the higher the temperature of acylation, the more rapid will 'be the denaturation, which includes hydrolysis, of the isolated soybean proteins. It is preferred that the acylation be conducted at temperatures between about 70 F. and about 130 F. The acylation can be followed by observing the pH of the reaction mass, this step being considered complete when no further drop in pH is noted. We prefer to permit the reaction mass to be agitated for a relatively short period thereafter prior to acidification in order to ensure complete reaction, or in an instance where the alkaline treatment is a concurrent step, until the completion of the predetermined time of alkaline treatment.
Acylation of proteins is old in the art. We have found, however, that the unique and surprising advantages of our invention follow only from the careful selection of the acylating conditions and the type of protein acylated. The latter must be isolated soybean protein which has been hydrolyzed to beyond the initial gel stage. Such a protein mixture when treated with a carboxylic acid anhydride under the conditions above specied reacts Without substantial increase in cross-linking, as indicated by the lower viscosity characteristics of our novel products. Other acylating agents, such as dicarboxylic acid dichlorides, give modified products which are -characterized by more viscous alkaline dispersions indicating substantial cross-linking of the protein molecules.
In effect, by the process of our invention, the ionic character of the protein molecule is altered by an acylation with a carboxylic acid anhydride. The free amino groups and other reactive moieties are to some eiective extent replaced by carboxylic acid groups (when a dicarboxylic acid anhydride is used as the acylating agent) or by a neutral moiety (when a monocarboxylic acid anhydride is used).
Accordingly, we have described a procedure for reacting relatively `dilute solutions or dispersions of isolated soybean protein (that is to say, -up to about 10% protein concentration) which have been hydrolyzed by alkaline treatment beyond the initial gel stage with carboxylic acid anhydrides, preferably @a-dicarboxylic acid anhydrides, thereby to obtain acylated soybean protein compositions which in alkaline dispersion are characterized by viscosity characteristics lower than those of unacylated soybean protein compositions which otherwise have been similarly treated. Such modified protein compositions are of surprising utility as adhesives in paper coating compositons and as components of ber-spinning solutions.
Having described our invention, what we claim is:
1. The method of acylating isolated acid-precipitable soya protein which has been partially hydrolyzed to a state beyond the initial gel stage whereby to prepare a modified protein exhibiting lower viscosity when made into an aqueous alkaline dispersion, said process consisting of reacting carboxylic acid anhydride selected from the group consisting of acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, benzoic acid anhydride and dicarboxylic acid anhydrides with a dilute aqueous dispersion of said isolated partially-hydrolyzed protein while continuously maintaining the reaction menstruum alkaline.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the carboxylic acid anhydride is a dicarboxylic acid anhydride, and wherein said treatment with anhydride is carried out Vat temperatures between about F. and 130 F.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the carboxylic acid anhydride is an na-dicarboxylic acid anhydride.
4. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the dilute aqueous dispersion of isolated protein contains between about 2% and 10% of isolated protein by weight.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the dilute aqueous dispersion of isolated protein contains between about 2% and 10% of isolated protein by weight.
6. The method as claimed in claim l wherein the carboxylic acid anhydride is acetic anhydride.
7. Acylated, isolated, partially-hydrolyzed, acid-precipitable soya protein as prepared by the method of claim 1.

A little over a week ago our Guild bank was robbed. It was cleaned out -- so empty I could almost imagine the sound of flies buzzing about -- well, okay, it wasn't that empty. On the third tab, the robber was kind enough to leave us ten stacks of Roasted Clefthooves. At first it struck me as odd because we had fixed our Guild permissions somewhat after our GM left the game to take a shot at a relationship and play with his Nintendo Wii. In what order exactly, I can't be sure. He passed the mantle off to one officer who passed it to another officer who later passed it on to me. So for a while, I was GM of a Guild that wasn't quite doing anything but waiting on people to come back to the game. So imagine my shock (more like anesthetized indifference, to be honest) when I was going to deposit items into the Guild bank only to find that it had nothing. Well, nothing but those clefthooves.
The most frightening thing about the whole affair wasn't the fact that we were robbed, but that we could've been betrayed by one of our own. Because the officers were in charge of cleaning and arranging the bank items, they pretty much had unlimited withdrawal capabilities. This turned out to be a mistake. Set your permissions very carefully so that users are unable to withdraw more than a few stacks at a time. One of our officers' characters was the culprit, and checking the Guild Bank log only showed the mysterious 'Unknown' to be the robber indicating that the thief must've transferred the guilty toon off the server.
The troubling thing was that this person was our friend. The officer and I had gone way back when Molten Core was still fashionable, and I couldn't bring myself to believe that the person who would ask me how my three-month old daughter was every time I logged on could do such a dastardly thing. So I needed to know. Reading the Help section, I found that restoration of items stolen from the bank is beyond a GM's capability. In short, you give permission to a person, then that person cannot be reprimanded or punished for taking what he has been allowed to take. Understanding this, all I really wanted to know was who did it. I wanted to be sure. I wanted, more than the restoration of items, to know who it was that could do something like that. The GM's answer: sorry, we can't tell you. Wasn't I well within my rights to know who the person was? As the GM of the Guild that was just robbed blind, didn't I deserve to know who 'Unknown' was? Well, according to Blizzard, no.
No question, the hacker must've made a hefty profit from selling all the materials in our bank. A profit good enough to sell for a few hundred dollars, to be sure. This is why people simply must stop patronizing power levelers and gold selling outfits. The gold they sell, aside from being against the EULA that players agreed to before entering the game world, are often obtained through duplicitous means. We were fortunate in the sense that it was a hacker who had done us in. I can imagine the horror if it were simply one of your trusted colleagues who decided to make a sweet profit -- with no repercussions.
A word of caution to all Guilds with a Guild Bank... remember to set your permissions carefully. If there's anyone in charge of rearranging the items in the bank, allow only that person access to do it. Even then, allow that person access for limited periods of time or limited stacks. If the person decides to take all your items, Blizzard believes that if the Guild agreed to give them permission to withdraw, there's pretty much nothing they can do about it. For all of Blizzard's hard line stance against gold sellers and their methods, they don't punish asshats. Needless to say, be wary of keyloggers, always protect yourself. Of course, as much as you can restrict permissions with your members, there's nothing you can do if the Guild Master himself gets hacked. It makes me doubly glad that I play on a Mac.

I've always been enamored with all things inside the house, so it surprises me that I've been so devoted lately to exteriors. My Outside board on Pinterest started out as a measly little thing, but has grown to gigantic proportions: 351 pins to date. Only my kitchen board tops that.
I really ought to separate it into more specific categories like Gardens, Porches, Architecture, etc. But until then, I've combed through a huge number of pins for this post. It's only recently that I've noticed I've been pinning an awful lot of houses with board and batten siding.
I see board and batten a lot in Northern California. Here, the ranch house reigns in the newer (read: post 1940s) communities. Love it paired with a metal roof, like in this photo of a newly built Sonoma ranch house. This is architecture done right.
Kelley of The Polished Pebble has white painted board and batten on the exterior of her Southern California house, as seen here in Country Living.
Here is an example of board and batten paired with a shingled roof.
And another shingled roof. Board and batten is simple enough, that with traditional black shutters, it still pairs well this rustic table and chairs.
Board and batten siding looks great in other colors too:
|black with white trim
|dark green with white trim
Even various shades of grey.
So there you have it. A little taste of my board and batten heaven. :)

Does anyone know of a way to directly appeal to the feds for intervention? Landrieu is as much a Nagin about actually doing anything, Serpas is still in charge no matter the lack of results, and this administration shows no leadership and has provided no new ideas on solving the crime problems. Not only do we not get any processes from this horrible administration, but things like community policing and active engagement by the police within neighbors hoods, which the public has been screaming for since Katrina and before, has gone unaddressed. I can't beleive I am saying this, it really goes against so much of what I know is right, but I would feel better with the National Guard in flack jackets with automatic weapons patrolling, as they did after K. They at least were professional, responsive, friendly, and capable, everything NOPD and Landrieu are not.
Career ending choices for a few thousand dollars gain, if that. How can someone who we expect to make the right choice in split second life or death decisions make such a bad choice in a minor issue where time was on their sides? Thank you feds for getting to them!
He knew the law and the consequences of such actions likely better than any "civilian". There is no excuse or justification for his action and death was an obvious result. We are all fortunate we weren't in his way as his carelessness could easily have cost another honest, LAW ABIDING, innocent person their life for his flagrant disregard for the laws he swore to uphold. "Good decisions..." that would not have been uttered by a state police spokesman for any non-officer who had done this. Instead, as is the standard for NOPD and La. police in general, the onus of the failure would have been squarely on the driver (granted i was in this case) in a much less forgiving manner. Had this been NOPD, they would have justified it by bring up any speeding ticket received within the last 50 years. Law enforcement "professionals" it is not only your responsibility but your duty to uphold the laws you have sworn to abide by, not cherry pick them as they meet your needs. If all law enforcement was to uphold their duty with the solemness deserved then our world and the average rule of law would be a in much better shape and the trust expected would be earned and deserved.
Since this was tax payer funded, every single name with amount has to be recorded for public access somewhere, though what kind of FOIA it would take to get the auditor to release is beyond me. I think having both names and amount would help to show those who may have missed a single over payment from those obviously defrauding the tax payer. Then we can shame the later and demand they are removed from consideration as a section 8 provider for a period of no less than 5 years, those whose serial abuse of the system is well founded need to be treated like the criminals they are, do ab it of time, heavy penalties, and never be allowed into the program again. I will not start on my feelings about how section 8 is administered here or so may of those who are are as physically and mentally able to work as you and I but don't.. not won't start that, but we do need safety nets and every landlord who bilked the program, willfully or not, took shelter from someone who did need it, and there are plenty of mentally ill and incapacitated folks, elderly and the like that this program was made for, who sleep on the streets in weather not fit for a dog.
He could have been a space alien who did not know our language, he could have been a spy for the Taliban not well versed in appropriate protocol for such a situation.. see I can make up garbage too!
Problem is, if he was confused, he made very cogent decisions that denigrate any such argument. OK so he is confused, he just awoke after being knocked out, he flees and at this point we are starting to stretch credibility. At this point, pretend it is you who has just awoke from your horrible string of hypothetical: So, you are awake, confused, in a hospital do you
A. See that you are safe in a hospital and seek help and support to figure out why you are there
B. get into an argument with staff and run away.
I can see arguments for either here, so not a slam dunk, but wait, now that you have left the hospital do you:
A. Call the police, family, or friend to help extricate you from the situation
B. Jump into a cab and then rob the cab driver, having noticed (quite brilliantly for the coma patient you practically were 10 minutes before, right) above his visor a stash of money hidden away, you then proceed to flee from and physically tussle with police?
If you answered B. and B. then you need to be removed from the gene pool. As for the presumption of innocence, are you implying the cab driver, hospital employees, and police all made this up? Fortunately, I had no problems understanding the story and have not confused him with the verified killer of the earlier driver, but such behavior and impulse control issues seen on this POS it would not surprise me.
So you go ahead and thank god for whatever you want and presume all these little scumbags are innocent, right until one of them ushers you and your family closer to your god, because he wanted something you had worked for and his "metal illness" stopped him from appreciating that killing someone for any reason, let alone petty theft, is wrong. If we don't stop apologizing for this garbage, if we don't stand-up to the trash destroying any hope of civility and social progress, then we become complicit.
Great use of resources, can't get the cops to act on drug dealers in my neighborhood, who pedal death and who bring in traffic that robs, rapes, and kills, this is much better NOPD, great jobs Serpas, you smart little piggy you.
Ok, so I have just had it and it was impolite to characterize your comments as total deflection of blame; however, that you would entertain that this is anything other than a lack of respect for life and ones fellow human beings is weak.
How astute of you, as our thugs and scum bag criminals are usually every so smart and their aberrant behavior a model of positive human behavior and social health. Where do you get that he was on a class 4 drug? Excuses for pathetic garbage like this aren't needed, why look for something to fill in the blanks of this story that decrease the responsibility of this waste of oxygen? I am sure we the tax payer will be picking-up his hospital tab, plus the cost of defense in criminal trial and housing. I have no love for our police or police violence, but considering what this douche will cost us because he, like you, likely makes excuses for his bad behavior instead of being a functioning member of society; well, let us just say that when he fought the cops, I hope they gave him the beat down we rightfully should be able to provide. Had he killed the taxi driver, a nurse, or a cop while doing his little asshat song and dance routine, would you still be making excuses instead of expressing your outrage?
Well put! I had high hopes for IG, but the speed and lack of any true critical dissection and recommendations for change regarding Serpas and the NOPD's continued policy and legal violations (or even the "selection" process alone that brought us chief asshat) leave me less than impressed. We had one of the best, he was chased out of town, now the IG's office feels more and more irrelevant in a city that created a reason for an IG post in general.
My first trip to Chicago I thought you couldn't smoke outside since I didn't see any cigarette butts anywhere, let alone the mountains of litter we have here. Twice a day I have to walk my dog, twice a day I bring a second bag for the garbage that accumulates, twice a day I fill the second bag, on the same route, of one block to the park. Seriously, New Orleans is filthy and all native pride is built from perception, not reality, filthy people, filthy city, filthy mayor, filthy governor, filthy cops. For a state that prides itself on natural beauty, is is one big polluted toilet. What citizens don't due to ruin, the big chem businesses along cancer alley and big oil do.
This is a filthy city full of filthy people who think nothing of polluting their environment. NOLA natives are just classy like that!
"To me, the only way we get something done is when we get backed into a corner or somebody puts a gun to our head, and this may be the vehicle that does that, " Greene said.
Maybe that is what is needed to be done to Mr. Greene so he learns: a lesson in government, civics, and not being in the pocket of big business douche-bags.
Keeping the brand alive and staying classy in Louisiana!
Once free, we have a sterling new recruit for Serpas and the NOPD, sound just their speed.
That is because LSU produces low end, under educated graduates who are only ever able to work in La. because of having gone to LSU and where they went to high school. In the world outside of the good ol' boy La. system, most of these people would be asking if you want fries with your order.
The international media/politicians (with the exception of the Pakistani media of course) keeps rightly commenting that if their intelligence service didn't know Osama Bin Laden was comfortable in their country they were either incompetent or in collusion with Bin Laden. Well Mitch, Serpas not knowing his own son in-law was operating crime camera duties, the same needs to be said, Serpas is either grossly incompetent or lied and was well aware of what was happening. Either way he has to go and I was a big Mitch supporter, voted for him in both runs and provided to his campaign fund, now the closest I would come for future support would be to throw rolls of quarters at him, hard.
This is disgusting. Same judge gave probation to men who stole and beat an animal to death, people we have a reasonable right to be protected from, but will sentence a non-violent offender to 7 years on selling fake pot? Of course, he is a Slidel republican. Talk about activist judges. Pathetic and if you think so, make sure the his office knows!

Her behavior was disgusting and without excuse, BUT, I would guess the boy and his parents should have some ownership of this in the end. She snapped, went out of control, but I seriously doubt it was without provocation and some reason, no matter how insufficient that reason might be. Sadly, I look at how some children in my neighborhood act, and the lack of parental concern and control and I have a tough time not taking these little thugs and giving them a taste of the pain their actions and lack of care cause our neighborhood, better though to direct that at thier parents who made them the monsters they are.
Was she right, not no but hell no. Were their some mitigating circumstances, I can't tell from this article or any of the others I have yet seen. Again, not trying to excuse her, just point out a lot of kids and parents lack of care for their education or understanding that there is a right and a wrong way to behave at school and breaking such norms will have dramatic consequences (should have anyhow) likely would have ensured this teacher never ended up where she is now.
If this teenager did initiate a series of events that looked like he was attempting to take sexual advantage of a retarded girl, then he needs a much harder beating than he got followed by some serious counseling and even more serious long term oversight, as do his parents that raised him to this point. All simply speculation.
Actually, I would happily vote for you! We have a law that covers about every behavior, we don't need enhancements to these anymore, just consistent, impartial application of the existing laws and yes, a review and rollback of the superfluous laws that come from political posturing by career politicians.

The owner of Mount Pleasant-based Tidelands Bank said its losses narrowed in the second quarter.
The lender's deficit for the April-to-June period was $356,000 after accounting for deferred stock dividends it owes the federal government, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Losses totaled $1.13 million for the same quarter a year ago.
Tidelands Bancshares Inc. said its loss for the first six months of 2014 was $700,141, down from a $1.9 million deficit in the corresponding period of 2013.
The holding company said its community bank reduced its portfolio of bad loans by 13 percent from a year ago.
Among locally based lenders, Tidelands is the last to recover from the last recession and real estate crash. Its losses since 2008, when the downturn took hold, have totaled more than $49 million.
The bank has been postponing dividend payments for more than three years on preferred shares it sold to the U.S. Treasury to conserve cash. The government paid $14.5 million for the stock in 2008 under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Treasury's annual yield on the shares nearly doubled late last year to 9 percent, from 5 percent. The unpaid dividends totaled more than $3 million as of June 30.
Tidelands opened in October 2003. It has seven branches in Charleston, Dorchester, Berkeley, Horry and Beaufort counties.

A series of large fights outside of a Pioneer Square nightclub ended in gunfire early Saturday morning.
Police say they received multiple reports of shots being fired in the parking lots of Club Volume just before 2:30 a.m.
Staff from Club Volume alerted officers to a victim inside the club who had been shot in the foot. The victim was a 32-year-old liquor distributor and promoter who happened to be working at the club that night.
The victim told officers he had gone to his car to get more liquor when he saw large fights in the parking lots on both the north and south side of the block.
"He heard shots, and ran back into the club, at which point he realized his foot was injured," Seattle Police Det. Renee Witt said.
The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center with minor injuries.
Officers searched but were unable to find evidence and say witness accounts were "vague and conflicting."
No suspect information is available, and no other injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing.

The PornPros network is a large collection covering a range of hardcore content across 24 sub-sites. There's a number of 1-on-1 sites and a few that involve three or more people.
My favorite sites in the network are:
- 18 years old which, unsurprisingly, features young attractive models normally have straight sex with one guy
- TeenBFF which tends to start as a lesbian action then about halfway through a guy comes in to take on both
- Real Ex-girlfriends. I don't believe for one second that these aren't all staged, it doesn't matter though as the content is hot...
The pros
More than 2000+ scenes
The cons
- Only new content is HD, but the content is not marked HD, which can be a hassle
- Some sites in the PornPros network no longer update with new scenes

Per the title, if Disneyland were to be turned into a spooky Halloween park like what goes on at Knott's or Universal what would attractions and/or themes would you like see there?
Here are some ideas to kick it off:
- Scares along the Disneyland railroad: Shadowy figures seen silently roaming in the dark along the berms of the rivers of America, scary spooks popping up out of nowhere, and ghastly ghost conductors all await you to join them for a grand circle tour.
- It's a Small "Underworld" After All!: A redress of the famous attraction themed to be an abandoned broken down relic of the world's fair that never made it to Disneyland. It turns out that the looping song "It's a Small World After All" was really a demonic incantation and thus it opened a portal to the underworld. In a panic, Walt abandoned the attraction and boarded up until in 2013 a mysterious energy caused the ride to start up again. This attraction would turn the regular one upside down (figuratively) as the original dolls would be replaced with scarier dolls and scenes would vary between possessed dolls to scenes of full blown massacres. The music would also be changed to a song similar to something used in the video game Epic Mickey. Oh, and the water could be dyed blood red.
- The "Splatter" Horn: The Abominable Snowman has been shooing guests out of house for 54 years now but before his 55th anniversary he's ready to up the auntie. More of the attraction will be pitch black, the Abominable Snowman will be removed from his typical scare zones, and his audio will be removed as well. He will then pop up in other random areas, fog projectors (think POTC) will be setup in unexpected dark areas, and newly recorded growls and howls will be blasted at guests. Guests on the ground walking within 50 yards of the Matterhorn will hear pre-recorded audio of human screams, gruesome fatalities, and blood curling roars emanating from out of the hollowed core of the mountain.

COLUMBIA CITY — Because of health issues, one local missionary couldn't follow her heart to distant lands. But now Miranda Shearer has stopped having seizures and is on her way to Haiti and Slovakia.
Miranda Shearer, daughter of Cindy and Steve Shearer, is on her way to Haiti and then to Slovakia.
Shearer graduated from Columbia City High School in 2004. She received her surgical technologist degree from the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne in 2009.
Shearer, 26, feels called to the mission fields and is excited to make her third overseas trip. From March 16 to 24 she will be in Haiti with a group from the First Church of God.
"It's a dental mission," said Shearer. "I will assist the dentists and perform surgical sterilization of the tools," said Shearer.
While there, Shearer will also help teach English (as a second language) to teens in the former communist country.
"Even though we are teaching English to them we tend to feel really inadequate around these teens," said Shearer. Shearer said most teens from Slovakia come to camp knowing seven languages on average.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State
By Adibe Emenyonu
World Bank Board of Executive Directors has approved a $75 million concessional credit to the Edo State Government for its Growth and Employment Support Programme.
The approved credit would be in the form of budget support similar to that extended to Lagos State in 2011. The $75 million is a first tranche of a $225 million facility granted the state that will be spread across three years.
"Following the Board's approval of a similar credit for Lagos State last year, this marks yet another milestone in Nigeria's path to improving public service delivery through improved governance at state level and therefore contributing to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)," said Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly, the World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, who announced the support in Benin City weekend.
The credit according to her, was provided in recognition of critical policy and institutional reforms that the Edo State Government under Governor Adams Oshiomhole had undertaken to improve management of public resources in the implementation of an infrastructure-oriented development strategy and creation of a better environment for growth and employment generation, through a more conducive investment climate and higher quality of education.
"I would like to congratulate the Edo State Government for its commitment towards reforms and would like to urge the authorities to stay the course," she added.
Responding, Oshiomhole said among the reforms by his administration, which attracted World Bank support on the improvement of management of public resources include the enactment of a public procurement law, sanitising the payroll through the use of biometrics technology for identification, use of an integrated financial management information system for budget management, improving transparency in procurement through the publication of contracts awarded, and strengthening external oversight by clearing the backlog of audited financial statements which overall had ensured value for money in the utilisation of public resources.
Other critical reforms, he noted include improving the investment climate focus via creation of a platform for a modern land information system that will be central to the process of streamlining procedures for acquiring property rights.
This improved business climate, the World Bank said, is critical to attracting investors to Edo State, and hence, to generating growth and creating employment opportunities.
The governor said his administration's bold programme to rebuild schools and provide them with modern teaching aids has particularly elicited high marks from the World Bank.
"In education, the Edo State Government has been working on improving the quality of education so that the education system meets the demands and needs of the employment market. One key reform undertaken aims at improving governance at institutional level through the establishment of school-based management committees (SBMCs) in technical and vocational education institutions," he added.

William Rycroft also left links to two of his former NYRB book reviews: Stoner by John Williams and The Book of Ebenezer Le Page by G.B. Edwards. Though technically not written during the reading week, we thought we'd link to it nevertheless, so you can read them, too.
Thank you to all who've participated so far, and we look forward to reading more from you and to reading from others, too. If you just stumbled upon our reading week now, it's not too late to join.
After reading these reviews, I think it's going to be difficult for us to choose just one favorite each to award our prize to. And speaking about prizes, a few updates about the raffle...
We're raffling off two books: The Wedding of Zein by Tayeb Salih and Soul of Wood by Jakov Lind. Everyone who's reviewed a book for the NYRB Reading Week is included in the raffle. So, these two books will go to two lucky reviewers. The mechanics are simple--we'll be putting your names in a hat or a box, then we'll pick two out.
But we also want to make sure that you get a book that you want so, if you're eligible for the raffle, please leave a comment below here or in Mrs. B's post indicating which book you'd like to receive should you win the raffle. You can also state that you'd be comfortable receiving either book. If we don't receive a comment from you, then we'll just assume you're ok with either.
My co-host and I will be meeting on the 15th of November to pick the winners of all prizes. That includes our prizes for best reviews, best NYRB photo, and, of course, the two raffle winners. Then, we will be announcing all prize winners on the 16th.
Again, our NYRB Reading Week will end on the 13th still, so go ahead and leave links to your reviews and NYRB photos in our comments section until then. Submission of all entries will close at the close of the reading week. By the way, if you're on Twitter, feel free to use the hashtag #nyrbreadingweek to tweet about your reviews or other related stuff.
In the meantime, go ahead and read all those wonderful reviews above.

FAA looking into Boeing land purchase in Charleston
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that authority attorney Arnold Goodstein told the authority board on Tuesday that the FAA is "asking a lot of questions" about the sale of the 320 acres of land.
Authority Chairman Andy Savage said the federal agency has concerns about the $12.5 million price for the land and is concerned the deal could affect the airport's overall operations.
The FAA must approve the sale. Boeing South Carolina spokeswoman Candy Eslinger would not talk about the case.
Goodstein, airport officials and Boeing representatives met with FAA representatives in Washington this week to move the deal along. Savage said aviation authority officials made it clear that while it didn't get the deal it wanted on the land purchase, the authority stands behind Boeing.
The aviation authority voted in March to sell the land, splitting the difference between a set of appraisals conducted by both parties.
The FAA is looking at the authority's initial appraisal of $27.6 million, Savage said. But that figure appraised the land as if it were ready for development and didn't include the costs of filling numerous wetlands and removing a radar site.
Boeing has not said specifically what it plans for the site.
The company announced in April that it will add at least 2,000 jobs during the next seven years. It already employs 6,000 workers who assemble the 787 Dreamliner jet.

Ten Helpful Conversation Starters If You Missed The 2011 American Music Awards
Did you watch the 2011 American Music Awards last night? No worries whatsoever if you didn't, because we here at VH1 Tuner have got your back. Whether you need something to discuss with Sally from Accounting about for the 20 seconds you're awkwardly standing together in the break room waiting for your coffee to finish brewing OR you want to make sure your pop culture game is on point at the bar tonight, we put together this handy summary of the 10 most likely events from the evening that would come up in conversation. From Christina Aguilera's hot mess ensemble (which we kind of loved!) to Taylor Swift's constant state of surprise ("Who, me?"), from the correct way to pronounce Ellie Goulding (which will come in handy if you run into Robin Thicke) to the correct answer of whether that was indeed Little Pitbull that appeared in Pitbull's trousers while he was mock humping J.Lo, here is the story of the American Music Awards told in ten easily digestible parts. Bon appetit!

Marc Anthony To Appear On Nightline To Address Rumors Surrounding His Divorce From Jennifer Lopez
Ever Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez revealed, in a surprising July 15 statement, that they were filing for divorce, rumors have flown like wildfire as to the cause of the rift (often hinting at infidelity on the part of Anthony, and sometimes linking him with HawthoRNe co-star Jada Pinkett Smith). In response to the weeks of speculation, Marc Anthony will be appearing on Nightline to give his side of the story to ABC News' John Quinones tonight at 11:35PM EDT. In a sneak preview posted by ABC, Anthony denies tabloid reports of infidelity, pointing to the range and improbability of the rumors as further circumstantial evidence of their falsehood. In truth, according to Anthony, "It was a realization on both our parts? It wasn't shocking. These things happen." He would not answer directly that he did or did not want a divorce but stated that the decision was "made jointly." According to Anthony, the two remain friends, and will continue to jointly raise their children and support each other's careers?or as he put it, simply, "This is not a funeral."
In the interview he also speaks of his childhood as a Puerto Rican in East Harlem, his Kohl's clothing line, his and Lopez's Latin talent show Q'Viva! The Chosen, his partial ownership of the Miami Dolphins, and his longtime Long Island home. As for the newly single Anthony? When asked about romance in his future, he uses a boxing analogy:
That's like asking a boxer in the twelfth round if he's going to retire or not. ? He'll always say, "I'm done. I'm done." You know what I mean? And then two weeks later is when you ask him.
So give me two weeks.
Nevertheless, he explains, "I'll always love Jennifer. She knows that." The full interview airs tonight on ABC.

J. Lo Is J. Dunzo With Marc Anthony
Any media savvy celebrity worth their Q rating knows that the best time to release bad news is late on a Friday afternoon during the summertime, when most media-types are off in the Hamptons doing whatever it is people do when they're out in the Hamptons. Latino power couple (or should we say EX power couple) Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are nothing if not media savvy, which is why they chose to release the news that they're getting divorced to People at 5:20 p.m. on a Friday. Well, lucky for you, we don't even know where the Hamptons are, so we're bringing you the shocking news while it's still piping hot.
In a statement released exclusively to People this afternoon (Side Note: I wonder how much People paid for this scoop?), they wrote: "We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved, and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time."
The couple looked really happy together as recently as the American Idol finale in May (pictured above), in which J. Lo shook her tailfeather while Marc "Don't Call Me Skeletor" Anthony crooned in his inimitable style. We suppose we'll learn more about this split of two music industry powerhouses in the coming days and weeks, but for now, it looks like Jenny From The Block and her baby daddy couldn't figure out a way to stop scratching themselves after the dreaded Seven Year Itch set in.

Music's Top Ten Most Powerful Couples
Death Cab For Cutie?s VH1 Storytellers is airing at 11 p.m. tonight on VH1, and since lead singer Ben Gibbard is now married to his indie beloved Zooey Deschanel, we got to thinking about music?s most powerful couples of the moment. Because these lists are often tricky to compile and put into an order that everyone can agree on, we took to the streets and polled over 5,000 people. JK! We actually did something smarter and more efficient, combining stats from Billboard charts, YouTube clicks, and social media followings, and mixed it with our interpretation of je ne sais quoi cool-factor buzz. Confident in our rankings, we hereby give you VH1?s list of the most powerful couples in music today.

J.Lo has millions upon billions of dollars from her perfume, clothing line and oh yeah – that acting and singing career she once had. So why the hell does she need – much less want – to do a reality TV show about motherhood? The TLC show is already in production and will document Lope'z daily struggles to juggle motherhood – ie: yelling at the nannies – with the launch of her new perfume. ?I?m looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together,? says the momzilla. Yes, sharing the journey with a handful of viewers and the 40 servants who will really do all the "work" on the show will be SO exciting!
