United States Patent STABILIZATION 0F GXIDIZABLE MATERIALS AND STABELIZERS THEREFGR Alan Bell, Clarence E. Tholstrnp, and Gerald R. Lappin,
Kingsport, Tenn, assignors to Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N. Y., a corporation of New Jersey No Drawing. Application March 17, 1954, Serial No. 416,956
6 Claims. (Ci. 26038.5)
This invention relates to the stabilization of materials normally subject to oxidation, such as fats and oils, and to certain new antioxidants for use in stabilizing such materials.
As is well known, fats, oils, hydrocarbons, and similar oxidizable materials are normally subject to the deleterious elfects of oxidation unless a suitable stabilizer material is incorporated therein. A large number of materials have been proposed for use as stabilizers in these and similar materials, including hydroxy benzene derivatives such as the well known hydroquinone. It has been difficult to predict, however, whether any particular class of materials will or will not stabilize such oxidizable ma terials against the objectionable efiects of oxidation such as the development of rancidity. Thus, for example, although hydroquinone itself is an efiective stabilizer and has been widely used, many of the derivatives of hydroquinone have proven to have little or no activity as antioxidants.
It is accordingly an object of this invention to provide a new class of stabilizers which are highly efiective in obviating objectionable oxidation in such normally oxidizable materials as fats, oils and the like.
Another object of the invention is to provide compositions of matter consisting predominantly of material normally subject to oxidation and containing a stabilizing amount of a new antioxidant which is effective to reduce the oxidation to an unobjectionable level.
Another object of the invention is to provide a new class of antioxidants which are particularly effective for protecting fats, oils and similar organic compositions from oxidative deterioration.
Other objects will be apparent from the description and claims which follow.
These and other objects are attained by means of this invention, which comprises stabilizing materials normally subject to rapid oxidative deterioration by incorporating therein a small amount of a hydroxyphenylpropenone as described more fully hereinafter. The stabilizer compounds which embody this invention are 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropenones of the formula in which R is either hydrogen or an alkyl, aryl, or substituted aryl group. The compounds which are preferably employed in practicing the invention are those in which R is either a phenyl group, a hydroxy substituted phenyl group, or a lower alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. If desired, however, R can be a higher alkyl group containing from 4 to 22 carbon atoms Within the scope of this invention.
Either of the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropenones as set out in the formulas above can be employed, although the compounds of the formula H0 -OH=CH-fiR (in are preferred since they have the highest stabilizing activity. The compounds of the formula are entirely suitable for use in practicing the invention, however, since as is shown hereinafter, such compounds have as high antioxidant activity as the well known antioxidant butylated hydroxy anisole. The antioxidants embodying this invention can be readily prepared by the reaction between an appropriate aldehyde and a ketone in the presence of aqueous-alcoholic potassium hydroxide, in accordance with known procedures for preparing chalcones and similar phenones.
The high degree of activity of the antioxidants of this invention is particularly surprising since the isomeric 2,5- dihydroxypropenones which can be readily prepared from hydroquinone are almost totally ineifective for use in stabilizing such materials as fats and oils against oxidation. In contrast to this, the hydroxyphenylpropenones of this invention having the hydroxyl substituents in the 3- and 4-positions are highly effective in stabilizing oxidizable materials employing relatively low concentrations of the antioxidant of the order of from about 0.001 to 1.0% by weight based on the weight of the composition being stabilized. Larger amounts of the stabilizers can be employed if desired, although such larger amounts are usually not necessary.
The antioxidants of this invention are typified by, but not limited to, such 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropenones as 3,4-dihydroxy chalcone of the formula 3,4-dihydroxy chalcone of the formula and similar materials wherein the group R is an alkyl group such as a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or higher alkyl group; and propenones in which R is a hydroxyphenyl group such as 2,3,4-trihydroxy chalcone of the formula The unexpected nature of the invention is apparent when it is considered that the 2,5'-dihydroxy chalcone of the formula I OH is almost completely ineifective for stabilizing fats and oils.
The following table shows the utility of compounds embodying this invention in stabilizing lard as a substrate. The materials embodying the invention are compared to a control sample containing no stabilizer, a' sample of lard containing an equal amount of butylated hydroxy anisole, and a sample containing 2',5-dihydroxy chalcone. In each case, except the control, the lard substrate contained 0.02% by weight of the additive based on the weight of lard. The stabilization was tested by means of the Active Oxygen Method (A. O. M.), wherein the sample was heated at 99 C. with a stream of air bubbling through the sample, and the time to reach a peroxide content of milliequivalents per kilogram was checked. These values are set out in the column headed A. O. M. In order to give an indication of the relative effectiveness of the stabilizers embodying this invention, the column headed A. I. (Antioxidant Index) gives a comparison of these materials with butylated hydroxy anisole.
As can be seen from the data set out in the table, the 2,5-dihydroxychalcone which is anisomer of the materials embodying this invention is almost totally ineffective for use in stabilizing lard. In contrast to this, the stabilizers of this invention have activities of at least two, and as much as four times that of butylated hydroxy anisole which is widely used in the stabilization of fats and oils. The compounds described herein and used in accordance with our invention can be employed for the stabilization of any oxidizable organic compounds which are subject to deterioration, as for example carotene, mineral oils, vegetable oils, and other well known oxidizable materials.
The stabilizers of this invention are readily incorporated into such materials as lard, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, paraffin, and the like, by admixing the stabilizer with the material to be stabilized, wherebya solution of the antioxidant and the substrate is usually obtained. Alternatively, the stabilizer can be dissolved in a suitable solvent which is inert to both the antioxidant and the other components of the composition being stabilized. Suitable solvents include glycerin, propylene glycol, hexane, and the like, and the resultingantioxidant solutions can be readily dissolved in the fat' or oil or other material to be stabilized without the necessity for prolonged mixing of the composition. If desired, the stabilizers embodying this invention can be employed singly or in mixtures of two or more of such stabilizers, as well as mixtures with other well known antioxidants with or without the addition of synergists such as citric acid, tartaric acid, phosphoric acid, ascorbic acid, propyl gallate, and the like.
Among the materials which can be stabilized by means of this invention are the animal fats and vegetable oils, whether hydrogenated or unhydrogenated, and including such representative fats and oils as linseed oil, menhaden oil, cod liver oil, castor oil, olive oil, cocoanut oil, palm oil, corn oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, babassu oil, butter fat, lard, beef tallow, and the like, as well as hydrogenated fats and oils prepared from these and similar materials. Various other fats and oils may be similarly treated within the scope of the invention. In addition, the stabilizers of this invention can be em ployed to stabilize hydrocarbon fuels, plastic compositions, mineral oils, paraffin, and the like.
The stabilized compositions provided by this invention desirably contain from about 0.001% to about 1.0% by weight of the antioxidant embodying the invention. The invention also includes combinations of such new antioxidants with other well known antioxidants such as butylated hydroxy anisole, propyl gallate, tocopherol, and similar antioxidant materials. When a synergist is employed in conjunction with the antioxidant, such a synergist is desirably employed in an amount of from about 0.0005% to about 0.1% by weight based on the weight of the material being stabilized.
The blending of the stabilizing material with the oxidizable material can be carried out in any well known manner, and the stabilized compositions thereby obtained are protected against oxidative deterioration for a period many times longer than the normal period necessary for the development of rancidity or other objectionable oxidation effects.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention as described hereinabove and as defined in the appended claims.
We claim:
1. A composition of matter comprising a major proportion of fatty material normally subject to oxidation and a minor proportion effective to stabilize said fatty material of a 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropenone selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula and compounds of the formula wherein R is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups, phenyl groups, and hydroxyphenyl groups.
2. A composition of matter comprising a fatty material normally subject to oxidation stabilized with a 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropenone of the formula 3. A composition of matter comprising fatty material normally subject to oxidation stabilized with a 1-(3,4- dihyd roxyphenyl l -alken-3-one. I

The Kurdish Globe
Christians, Shabaks, and Yazidis are extremely unhappy with the decision Iraqi Parliament made on Monday to allocate one seat each of Christians, Yazidis, and Shabaks in Ninewa province, and one seat each for Christians and Sa'ba in Basra province.
Iraqi Parliament sent the bill to the Iraqi presidency council for approval. Christians, Shabaks, and Yazidis have warned the presidency council not to approve it. Nevertheless, the Iraqi presidency spokesman stated that the Iraqi presidency will still approve the bill despite the warning.
Mahma Khalil, a member of Iraqi Parliament from the Kurdistan Alliance list who is a Yazidi, threatened that Yazidis will merge their territories with Kurdistan Region if the bill is approved.
"We as a Yazidi minority fully reject Parliament's decision to give us one seat in Ninewa province council. One seat doesn't represent our size," said Khalil. "If the Iraqi presidency approves the bill, we will declare ourselves part of Kurdistan Region," he warned.
Khalil said the decision to give one seat for Yazidis in the Ninewa province council is evidence that political blocs in Parliament do not respect minority rights.
Meanwhile, an independent MP, Amin Jajo, who is Yazidi, threatened that Yazidis will boycott the coming provincial elections if the bill is approved.
Although, according to Parliament if the Yazidis vote or not they will get one seat in Ninewa province council. But they will vote in order to elect the person who they want to be their representative.
Jajo said: "Let the Yazidis be free and participate in the election and get seats according to the number of votes."
Every political bloc and minorities need 27, 000 votes to get one seat in the Ninewa province council. Yazidis believe that they can get at least four seats.
All Iraqi political blocs in Parliament voted to give one seat for Christians, Yazidis, and Shabak in Ninewa province, except Kurdistan Alliance, who voted against it. Kurdistan Alliance demands more seats for the minorities.
The Christian condition is similar to Yazidis. The Christians believe that giving them one seat in Ninewa province council, Basra province council, and Baghdad doesn't represent their size. Also, they believe the minorities' quota system is based on religion and not race.
The secretary general of the Assyrian Patriotic Party, Amanoael Khoshaba, said that his party is not interested in the minorities' quota system enacted by Iraqi Parliament through amending the provincial elections law, attributing his position to the point that the system relies on religion rather than race.
Khoshba said let the Christians participate in the election because might people from other religious will vote for Christians lists.
As for Shabaks, who are Shiite Kurds, the situation is different. Shabaks do not want to be separated from Kurds and they want to vote for the Kurdish list in the provincial elections.
Last Sunday hundreds of Shabaks in Ba'shiqa town in Ninewa province protested Parliament's decision and demanded their areas be merged with Kurdistan Region.
Shabaks threatened that they vote for Kurdish list even if Parliament give them a seat.
In the Iraqi personal identification (ID), whether someone is Yazidi or Christian is written, but it isn't written if the person is Shabak, since they are Shiite Kurds. Therefore, they can participate in the election and vote for whomever they want, despite the fact that Parliament has allocated a seat for them.

History with Hastings College
I graduated from Hastings College in 2014 with majors in Business Administration and Human Resources Management and with a minor in English for a bit of coursework variety.
Why I chose to attend Hastings as a student
I chose to attend Hastings College because of the personal attention I received both on my campus tour and the attention and mentoring I received from all the faculty and staff I met.
Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy playing and listening to music. I have hours and hours of music to enjoy in both my electronic library and vinyl collection. When I have a few moments of spare time sitting down and playing my trombone always provides for some entertainment.
Favorite thing about Hastings College
Hastings College has so many opportunities to get involved in dozens of student-run organizations. These organizations can either be for fun or for an academic purpose, but they all help make the college the place that it is.
Favorite thing to do in Hastings
Biking around town on the numerous bike trails is a weekly must regardless of the rain, wind, snow, or heat.
Favorite place to eat in Hastings
Going to Back Alley Bakery always provides good food and good conversation with either the friends you bring or the friends you meet there by chance.
Hidden Talent
When I am camping, I can set up a tent completely in the dark. It never fails that my flashlight is always in the bottom of my backpack.
Best meal I can cook

Towards a Unified Theory of Policy-Based RoutingSid Chau
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) has stimulated renewed interest in routing protocols and in formal methods required to prove their convergence properties. Many routing algebras are motivated to generalise minimum-weight routing and to establish generalised conditions of non-negative weights and absence of a negative cycle. Those sufficient conditions ensure the existence of stable routings. In our paper, we attempt to provide a unified theory from which all of those seemingly disparate sufficient conditions can be derived. This talk mainly presents the basic ideas of routing algebras and its application to policy-based routing.

Returning to your path, what is generally fruitful is to go home.
Travelling companions stay with us only for a while.
Travel and rest go together, for it seldom helps to lose all connection with the Reality within, and rest should seek to establish just that.
In Brief on Reducing Tensions
Physical ailments can bring on many ugly diseases through "psychosomatic channels" they're geared to, if they go unchecked. [Hi 505]
Sinister conditions may call for good laughs if they assist survival and could help against great intensity in the wrong way - in other words, laughs can reduce tensions and alleviate stress somewhat, to the end of reducing diseases and favour that we may live longer. There is research which documents it. [More]
A good laugh can assist thinking, but to laugh out loud for long alone may not help you to solve underlying problems.
The good and dear thing is to get maximum benefit from both laughs and able work.
Buddhism is for eliminating unneeded stress and pain sensibly.
Further Words
So firm was the hold which the ethnic gods of Ireland had taken upon the imagination and spiritual sensibilities of our ancestors that even the monks and christianized bards never thought of denying them. They doubtless forbade the people to worship them, but to root out the belief in their existence was so impossible that they could not even dispossess their own minds of the conviction that the gods were real supernatural beings.

I'm doing an introductory series of tutorials on programming using C#. They take the form of flash presentations that play inside the webpage you visit to view the tutorials. I believe Mouser is going to be making them available on a DC page soon.
Currently there are four tutorials in the "C# for the Completely Uninitiated" series. Tutorial #5 will be available in the next few days. These tutorials are really intended for an audience of new programmers who have chosen C# as their initial language. Those who already have OOP experience in other languages, or who are already proficient in C#, will probably not find much of interest in this particular series.
One of the advantages of the presentation format I have chosen is its ability to show screencasting of actual programming in action. I have also attempted to interject humor at various points, though my success in that endeavor will no doubt be in the eye of the beholder
The majority of each tutorial is comprised of static frames/pages that make use of a mixture of text, source code listings, and images to help convey information. Where I feel that it would be helpful, I sometimes show a short screencast. For example, in the first tutorial, I use a screencast to show users who are brand new to the Visual C# 2005 Express IDE how to create a console project. Although the tool used (Wink 2.0) also enables voice capture (and does a pretty good job of it, too) I have not yet used that feature, in the interest of keeping the final filesize of each tutorial's .SWF file as small, and therefore fast-loading, as possible.
The first tutorial covers downloading and installing the IDE, and creation of your first project. Subsequent tutorials that have been released, to date, cover the console class, use of comments, the parts of a C# program, creating custom methods, variables and assignment, method return types, string concatenation and interpolation, assemblies, types, classes, and instantiation.
After the completion of the fifth tutorial (that I'm working on right now), there will be a Review that quizzes the user over the content of the first five tutorials, and also gives brief, to the point, programming exercises (and their solutions, at the end of the presentation).
My motivation in creating this series of tutorials is threefold: (1) in the process of creating each tutorial, I've reinforced, and sometimes extended, my own intermediate knowledge of the language, (2) as a potential source of help for people brand new to programming, and hopefully a bridge that will encourage greater participation in the C# section of the Programming School, (3) as advertising for DC: since the tutorials allude to the DC site favorably, and suggest it as a home for programmers and would-be programmers.
The tutorials can currently be accessed at the following URL, although soon they will also be available on a DC page, for which I am indebted to Mouser. I am also appreciative of his enthusiastic support and encouragement of this project.

COLUMBIA — Steve Spurrier hasn't spent much time this week talking about what's at stake for South Carolina on Saturday. He doesn't need to.
The Gamecocks know their history. They know what they can accomplish against Clemson, just as they're aware of what's never been done before.
Despite four straight wins over its bitter rival, South Carolina enters the 111th edition of this in-state rivalry far behind Clemson. It's the point junior cornerback Victor Hampton made last Saturday night, officially kicking off rivalry week when he made sure everyone knew his team trailed the all-time series — and it wasn't close.
Yes, Clemson's 65-41-4 record stings USC. No, Spurrier said, he hasn't pounded the point home to his team.
"Our guys know what it is," Spurrier said. "If we're going to have a good game, we have to go play our assignments, play with tremendous effort, things like that. That's generally what we talk about.
"They know what's happened, they know the history of the series. We're still way behind, but we've had a good run. We know that."
Clemson may own the all-time series. South Carolina owns the present.
When the No. 10 Gamecocks (9-2) host the No. 6 Tigers (10-1) for a 7 p.m. kickoff Saturday night on ESNP2, Spurrier hopes his team's dominance from the past four years continues. South Carolina has won each of the past four games by more than a touchdown, an average victory margin of 17.5 points. It's been total domination, much like Clemson enjoyed before these past four years.
South Carolina has never beaten Clemson five straight times. The Gamecocks' only previous four-game winning streak against their rival was six decades ago, spanning 1951-54.
"It would be a great feeling," junior defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles said. "Been beating those guys for the last couple years. It's not going to be any easier this year. They've got a great offense run by a great quarterback. I feel like we're going to have to go out here and execute real well."
It could be the final home game for Quarles, who could skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. Quarles said this week he's leaning toward not doing senior day ceremonies. He has not committed publicly to going pro or returning to school.
If Quarles does leave school early, he has a chance to go undefeated in his career against Clemson. He's not the only Gamecock with that distinction on the line. Quarterback Connor Shaw, guard Ronald Patrick, cornerback Jimmy Legree and defensive end Chaz Sutton will try to become one of South Carolina's senior classes never to lose to Clemson.
"It would mean the world," said Legree, a Beaufort native. "Coming from South Carolina, being able to defeat Clemson in the last home game, last game of the regular season."
"Same thing," Patrick added. "I mean, anytime you can go undefeated against a team and not lose to them, it's big. Not many players from any schools can say they haven't lost to a single team since they've been in school."
It's a special claim, especially when that single team is an in-state rival.
There's no doubting Clemson's motivation Saturday. The Tigers have a talented, veteran team, a group that will have unfulfilled careers if they never get a win over the Gamecocks.
Just don't overlook USC's motivation.
"For me the motivating factor is this is my last home game," Patrick said. "So, being my last game, winning streak on the line, playing against Clemson, I couldn't picture finishing my last game any better. It's going to be an exciting, fun night. I'm looking forward to it."

Relationships have a big transactional element. The strength of a relationship is typically directly related to the willingness of the two individuals involved to give more than take. It is something we all are aware of at some level (the degree is self awareness dependent).
The funny quirk here is that the moment you consciously think of a relationship as a transaction, you have sealed its fate. Perhaps it is because the thought of the word transaction has us focus on "what's in it for me?"
The trick is to approach giving in relationships like lunch. You do it every day. It's good for you and you don't think about it.
(And, similarly, approach 'taking' like an unhealthy midnight raid of the fridge – I realize this analogy doesn't apply if you are a university student…)

ACU softball season preview capsule
Abilene Christian Wildcats
Head coach: Bobby Reeves (eighth season, 180-184, third at ACU, 51-49)
Last year's record: 30-18, 15-11 LSC (fifth in regular season standings)
Last conference title: None, but won the South Division in 2009.
Last conference tournament appearance: 2012 (lost to West Texas A&M 5-1 in first round)
Last NCAA playoff appearance: 2012 (Went 1-2 at region tournament, losing twice to Emporia State 1-0, 5-1)
Returning lettermen/starters: 6/5 position players, three pitchers
Players to watch: Keanna Winkfield, Sr., CF (.369, 12 RBIs, 35 runs, 24 of 30 SB); Courtney Flanary, Jr., 1B (.336, 22 RBIs. 2 HR, 27 runs); Lyndi Smith, Jr., C (.333, 20 RBIs, 7 HR); Madison Buckley, Jr., LF (.298, 6 RBIs, 10 SB); Sara Vaughn, Sr., SS (.294, 23 RBIs, 4 HR, 10 2B, 15 SB); Caitlyn Crain, Sr., P (14-7, 2.13 ERA, 82 SO, 32 BB); Peyton Mosley, Jr., P (11-9, 2.59 ERA, 63 SO, 44 BB); Shelby Hall, Sr., P (5-2, 2.86 ERA, 16 SO, 11 BB).
Coach says: "Just the fact that we made it to regionals last year and have a majority of that core back, I'm excited about the opportunity ahead of us. We've got a real positive attitude right now, and a lot of hard work coming out of them."
Notes: There's much for Reeves to be excited about, since much of the team returns from a squad that got off to a 12-1 start last season and advanced to the NCAA playoffs for the first time in three years. It all starts with pitching, and the Wildcats return all three pitchers who led the conference with a combined 2.42 ERA. Crain led the LSC in ERA last season, and Mosley was second. "I'm just looking for great things out of them," Reeves said of his pitchers. "They've done a great job. They had a great fall, and they've worked hard. They're coming into spring ready to go. I think pitching is the least of our worries." ... ACU returns its top four hitters and five of its top six, who combined for 83 RBIs last season. Flanary, who moves from third base to first, was the LSC's co-newcomer of the year, while Winkfield was a second-team all-region pick. Overall, ACU returns six all-conference players. Smith, an outfielder and first baseman last year, will likely play more catcher this year. Vaughn is back at shortstop, while two of the three outfielders — Winkfield and Buckley — also are back. Heather Peacock, a junior transfer from Ranger, will play third base, while second base is up for grabs among freshmen Demi McNulty and Taylor Fitzgerald. Returnee Ashley Nolan will battle freshmen Anna Jones and Paige Stevens for the other outfield spot. Cara Hoover, a freshman catcher/first baseman, will likely be the designated hitter. ... This is ACU's last season in the LSC and Division II before joining the Division I Southland Conference this summer. After this season, ACU won't be eligible for the postseason until the 2017-18 season.

favorite climb on the crag! a well protected, not too polished severe.
I always seem to enjoy this more than Open Book. Gives you a dilema just below half height of either a great nut placement, or a great handhold.

Posted: 11/18/13
Dead Rising 3 adheres to the adage "more is better." With more combo weapons, larger hordes of zombies, and new additions like vehicles, there's a lot to play with in its bloody sandbox. Outside of a few technical hiccups and mechanical complaints, Dead Rising 3 makes something as tired as zombies exciting once again.
Set in Los Perdidos, a fictionalized Los Angeles, protagonist Nick Ramos and a small group of survivors struggle to escape an infested city before it's nuked by the military. It's about as typical as it gets for a post-outbreak setup and primarily serves to get you from one place to another. Most missions and side missions consist of killing or collecting X number of things and while this structure would normally bore, it's the moments between that make the game chaotic and gleefully stupid.
Dead Rising 3 is at its best when you're fighting with the game's seemingly innumerable combo weapons. Unlike Dead Rising 2 which required a workbench to combine items, Dead Rising 3 lets you put things together anywhere as long as you have the appropriate blueprint. Even better, when you find a blueprint, the items you need to create something are usually in the same room. This makes Dead Rising 3 more playful than previous entries since you rarely have to settle for plain weapons like a lead pipe or two-by-four because you don't want to waste time hoofing it to a bench. Instead, it's easy to stuff your inventory with a far more fantastical arsenal.
And what an arsenal it is. You'll feel like a cruel god wielding weapons like the chest beam, which shoots a giant laser from a microwave, or the mecha dragon suit, where you don wings and metal claws. Hunting for weapons is a great reason to explore since you'll want to get your hands on as many as possible just to see what they do.
You'd think Psycho battles, Dead Rising's version of boss fights, would be the perfect place to put these weapons to the test, but these human maniacs go down too easily. Most psychos require little more than mashing away with whatever combo weapon you prefer. The only difficultly comes when you try to pick up items, which is horrendously imprecise. Often you'll try to pick up something as vital as a recovery item only to wind up snagging a box of nails instead.
Vehicles help you get around more quickly but add some unpredictability. You'll consistently have to make choices between things like the speed and fragility of a motorcycle or the power and sluggishness of a steamroller. Like weapons, you can also combine vehicles, but there's less reason to do so. A rollerhog -- a combination of a steamroller and motorcycle --may efficiently squash whatever is in your way, but creating it isn't worth the hassle since regular cars usually work just fine. Unlike combo weapons, combo vehicles don't provide additional experience for using them.
Technically, Dead Rising 3's most impressive feature is the sheer number of zombies onscreen at the same time. The zombies are so numerous that even if you're traveling at full speed in a vehicle, running into a horde will slow you down to almost a complete stop. Such a large amount of zombies makes Dead Rising 3 feel more claustrophobic than previous Dead Rising games, despite the world being considerably larger. The high number of enemies comes at a cost with a frame rate that chugs during the game's most intense moments.
None of Dead Rising 3's issues will stop you from enjoying the ludicrous ways you can kill zombies. While it may initially appear to be a more somber game than before, after spending a few hours with Dead Rising 3 you'll realize the spirit of the series is well intact. The game is built for moments like when you dress up in a disco shirt, Blanka mask, and Mexican wrestling boots and then bash away with an electrified sledgehammer. It may be another game with zombies in it, but few games get as crazy as Dead Rising 3.

Holiday Scheduling: Fair and Balanced
Dear Director,
Nothing shows that we're a 24/7/365 business and makes us feel Grinch-like than when we leave our families to fulfill our clinical obligations on a holiday. Certainly, the winter holidays are the biggest stressor for many physicians when it concerns their schedules.
Rule number two is that the schedule must be fair both for the current year and on a year to year basis. Next, everyone must participate. If you're a regular doc on my staff, you will work a holiday and some of the time surrounding the holiday. To your question directly, this means that it would be really unusual to allow anyone to take a vacation over the entire holiday stretch. Depending on the model that is used to cover Christmas and New Year's, if people go on vacation for the week between the two winter holidays, coverage can be a bear. For part-timers, I leave it to their discretion and availability, though many do help us each year. The final rule is that the department's clinical schedule and how much each individual works (whether it's one or two of the three winter holidays) is a function of how many physicians staff the ED on a monthly basis. Hey, if you really don't want to work any shift, holiday or not, then sell it! Yes, I said sell it. Although you are obligated to be scheduled for your fair share, you certainly should be allowed to trade them away, at personal expense, if you want to. If it is that important to you, let your partners know that you will pay a premium if they'll pick up any of your holiday shifts. Free enterprise may result in a free holiday schedule.
As for vacations, most EDs generally prohibit them from about the December 22nd through January 2nd. However, if you have off Christmas and took a vacation for the week leading up to and including December 27th but came back and were scheduled for 5-6 shifts in a row, that might be fair to your group.
Finally, there is always the option of taking requests and seeing how it works out. Most groups probably have at least one person who doesn't have family nearby or small kids and would rather party on New Year's than have Christmas off. I'm always amazed at how well this typically works, but there must be a rule that no one is mandated to work the same holiday two years in a row. This can even be expanded to identify the entire year's holidays, take requests and make assignments early in the year. This allows for maximal planning and takes the stress of the major summer and winter holidays off the table because of the advance notice.
As far as scheduling for the group, there are some "best case scenarios" that I think should be incorporated, since holiday schedules can leave some physicians feeling very dissatisfied with their group. I try to let people prioritize their holidays and their shift preference and do my best to honor their requests. If your kids still believe in Santa Claus, I try to have you home with your family. Remembering, though, that the time will come for you to work extra holidays down the road. Also, I really like the idea of splitting up holiday coverage. If you work Thanksgiving, I think it's great if you can get the weekend after the holiday off. With Christmas, if you're working the holiday and coverage allows, I like to have people off on the 24th, so they can still enjoy quality holiday family time. Rarely, are extended vacations approved over the holidays. So, if you request one, you are setting yourself up for disappointment when it's not approved, while asking a lot of your colleagues. Finally, coverage needs to be adjusted annually giving everyone an opportunity to spend time with their family over the holidays. While you can request the same major holiday off two years in a row, it's unlikely to happen unless no one else requests it off. We have a lot of benefits when it comes to flexibility and vacations with our schedule. However, the group benefits more if we collectively pitch in and do our share rather than leave it to just a few members of our team.

Sheriff's officials find missing boy near Santa Paula
Authorities found a 4-year-old Palmdale boy reported missing Monday near Santa Paula and said he was in good condition.
Anthony Arellanes was reported missing about 10:40 a.m., officials said.
Arellanes was staying with family members at a ranch and left about 10:40 a.m. for a walk, authorities said.
When he did not return, family members and others worried, in part because of the hot weather.
Two search and rescue teams were sent to look for the boy. More than 50 people took part in the search, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.
Arellanes was found healthy and alert in a ravine before 3:35 p.m. Monday. Sheriff's officials did not say where he had been.
A sheriff's helicopter also took part in the search.

Report: Many Deported Without Seeing Lawyer, Judge
By KRWG News
United States – LOS ANGELES (KRWG) A report shows about 150,000 immigrant detainees were deported between 2003 and 2010 without having the opportunity to consult with a lawyer and many of those detainees didn't see a judge.
The report issued Thursday by the National Immigration Law Center and two law professors examines how the immigrants left the country under a program known as stipulated removal.
The report's authors fear immigrant detainees aren't being given due process under the program, which lets them leave the country quickly but bars them from returning legally. The report based on government documents says immigration agents often misinformed detainees about the program.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says the program is voluntary and the paperwork for stipulated removal is signed by an immigration judge.

Baseball standout Roger Clemens says he's not concerned that his attorney briefly represented his former-teammate-turned-accuser Andy Pettitte.
Clemens told a federal judge in Washington on Wednesday that he
waives any potential conflict involving his lawyer, Rusty Hardin.
The attorney briefly represented both players three years ago just
before the release of a report alleging they used performance-enhancing drugs.
Clemens denies the allegation, while Pettitte admitted he used
human growth hormone and claimed Clemens admitted privately he did, too. Pettitte is expected to testify against Clemens on charges
that he lied about the drug use during a trial scheduled for this
Hardin told the judge that Clemens hired another attorney
outside his firm more than a year ago in anticipation of this issue
and that attorney will cross-examine Pettitte.

Who would have guessed that the guy who amassed a cult following with animated shorts about talking bananas and smiling fluff-balls that bleed out their ass would emerge as animation's answer to Terrence Malick?
I first encountered the work of Don Hertzfeldt when the Spike and Mike Animation Festival rode through Philadelphia in 2001. In the middle of the program was a short made up of simply drawn characters cycling through a series of rapid-fire jokes of such demented, sick-black genius that it shattered my brain like a hammer smashing a mirror and sent me into flailing paroxysms of laughter that lasted through the rest of the program and the entire walk home.
The film was Hertzfeldt's Rejected and it would go on to an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short It turned me into a diehard follower of Mr. Hertzfeldt's work. After seeking out all his previous films including the darkly hilarious Billy's Balloon and the great Lily and Jim I understood that Rejected was the culmination of Hertzfeldt's career up to that point. An original voice honing his style down to a fine point and creating a short of perfect cracked brilliance. What I couldn't have guessed a decade ago was that the experimentation of Rejected would mark the beginning of the fascinating second act to Hertzfeldt's career, one that found him applying his unique sensibility to a new philosophical searching. The sharp humor remained but it now came with an unexpected depth behind it.
Now that second act has culminated in It's Such a Beautiful Day, which is a masterpiece.
First released as three separate shorts – Everything Will Be OK (2006), I Am So Proud of You (2008), and It's Such a Beautiful Day (2011) – this new film combines them into a single feature length film running just over an hour. I loved all three individually but was slightly wary at the prospect of knitting them together into a single statement. There was potential for a too-much-of-a-good-thing scenario where style that was devastating in short form would prove repetitive and suffocating in a feature. I needn't have worried. The films, which worked beautifully separately, combine to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
The power of Beautiful Day depends to such a degree on Hertzfeldt's other-worldy style that it is difficult to capture in words, but I will give it a shot.
The beginning of the story focuses on the uneventful life of its utterly ordinary protagonist, Bill. An emotionless narrator lists the most mundane details of Bill's existence from perfunctory exchanges with a supermarket cashier to watching boxing matches on the Spanish language channel while finishing off a box of crackers. As the film builds the bland details begin to distort, and we realize the relentless tide of trivialities is causing Bill's grip on reality to slip. Eventually it all builds to a tidal wave and Bill's sanity is washed away in a sea of monotony. Hertzfeldt continues to widen the scope of the film over the its brisk running time until by the end the narrator has removed Bill from the limits of space and time completely, pulling back so far it regards the basic components of life with the same dispassionate eye it viewed Bill's morning bus ride.
In Hertzfeldt's vision it is all simultaneous glorious and meaningless and mysterious and empty and so beautiful you just have to cry. Even more than Malick's Tree of Life, It's Such a Beautiful Day lead me to marvel with fresh eyes at the things one takes entirely for granted like memory and aging and moving through time in a single direction. That the film connects these cosmic wonders to the boredom of the everyday lends a grandeur to the humdrum pleasures of life. As if all the beauty in the world can be found in watching the lights of traffic blur as you fall asleep in the backseat of a car.
Hertzfeldt animation has always been much more sophisticated than the simplicity of his drawing style would suggest. Quality of animation has nothing to do with big budgets and photo-realistic computer-generated imagery and everything to do with timing and expressiveness. For all the strangeness of Hertfeldt's vision he keeps the humanity of his protagonist entirely relatable, and It's Such a Beautiful Day packs a huge emotional wallop as a result. Just look at the simple moment where Bill receives a grim diagnosis and the shot holds on him for a long while as he sits forlornly on the edge of a hospital bed, removes his hat and rubs his hand over his forehead.
In case I'm making It's Such a Beautiful Day sound like a cerebral slog I would hurry to add that Hertzfeldt hasn't lost any of his wicked sense of humor. He often gets a laugh by perfectly pinpointing a banal moment where all share, like pretending not to see someone you know on the street because you can't be bothered to put in the effort to say "Hi". Then there are the many moments where we have to simply smile at the audacity of Hertfeldt's imagination and the fearlessness with which he will follow it on the strangest of flights.
It's Such a Beautiful Day is also a feast of visual effects, all shot entirely in camera, without the use of computers. Hertzfeldt uses every trick in the book, camera speeds, multiple exposures, matte shots. He mixes in regular footage with the animation. Few shots in the film that don't utilize one effect or another. Even though there is basically no image computer can't manufacture these days, you can still feel the difference in your gut when you're watching the real thing in a film like this. For those of us that care about such things this movie is a sight to see, let me tell you.
I put it to you that Don Hertzfeldt is an artist to be admired. He animates his films single-handedly and has passed up repeated opportunities to cash in on his notoriety in order to maintain creative control over his personal projects. It's Such a Beautiful Day is his finest work to date. It would be a worthy film on which to end a long and brilliant career, yet it is the work of a young artist who is still searching, still reaching. I am proud to say that I have been a enthusiastic supporter of his since that day a dozen years ago when he caused my whole person to shake with laughter. I can't wait to see where his imagination leads him in the decades to come.
Verdict: 10 out of 10
It's Such A Beautiful Day is touring the country through the end of November and is already available to preorder on DVD. All the info can be found here at Hertzfeldt's website.

Jakarta. Environmental health activist Yuyun Ismawati is hardly a fan of mercury, so it came as a shock to her to find out that her dental fillings contained high concentrations of the heavy metal.
"The WHO [World Health Organization] lists dental amalgam as the biggest non-industrial mercury vapor source," said Yuyun, a director at Bali Fokus Foundation, a toxic chemicals watchdog.
"The biggest contributor is still the industrial sector, due to the use of coal and natural gas, but the contribution from the health sector is considerable."
Mercury is a common by-product of mining, cement production and coal-fired electricity production. It is also used in some cosmetics and present in fish caught in polluted waters.
However, an often overlooked source of mercury is the health sector, including dentistry and health equipment such as thermometers, Yuyun said.
Mercury can have a devastating impact on human health, causing allergic reactions, pneumonia and liver and heart damage. Mercury poisoning can also cause death.
The WHO estimates that 5 percent of the mercury released through waste water comes from medical facilities. Such facilities are responsible for 10 percent of the mercury vapor released through waste incineration.
Wiwik Wahjoeni, an official from the Health Ministry, said it was difficult to get accurate figures for mercury use in medical appliances in Indonesia.
"We should monitor the use of mercury-based dental amalgams, because not all dentists are aware of the dangers of this substance, particularly those at community health centers," she said.
Rasio Ridho Sani, the assistant for toxic and hazardous substances at the Environment Ministry, said his office was currently drawing up a national action plan to ban the use of mercury, starting with the medical sector.
"It's not a simple issue, given the ubiquitous use of mercury in everything from heavy industry to the medical sector," he said.
"We've decided to start with the health sector because it affects people most directly, and we want all medical practitioners to realize this. Most of them don't know that they're harming their patients through their ignorance of the dangers of mercury."
Faye Ferrer, from international health care watchdog Health Care Without Harm, pointed out that most developed countries now ban or strictly regulate the use of mercury in the medical sector.
"The European Union has banned mercury thermometers and is considering alternatives for blood pressure devices, too," she said.
Ferrer called on developing countries like Indonesia to be wary of donations from developed countries in the form of medical equipment, as some countries might attempt to dump non-conforming equipment here.

Bill O'Reilly is the anchor of "The O'Reilly Factor," the highest-rated cable news show in the country. He also writes a syndicated newspaper column and is the author of several number-one bestselling books.
Bill O'Reilly
General George S. Patton, Jr. died under mysterious circumstances in the months following the end of World War II. For almost 70 years, there has been suspicion that his death was not an accident --- and may very well have been an act of assassination. KILLING PATTON takes readers inside the final year of the war and recounts the events surrounding Patton's tragic demise, naming names of the many powerful individuals who wanted him silenced.
Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard detail the events leading up to the murder of the most influential man in history: Jesus of Nazareth. Nearly 2,000 years after this beloved and controversial young revolutionary was brutally killed by Roman soldiers, more than 2.2 billion human beings attempt to follow his teachings and believe he is God. KILLING JESUS takes readers inside Jesus's life, recounting the events that made his death inevitable and changed the world forever.
A riveting historical narrative of the shocking events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy. A recounting in gripping detail of the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy--and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.
Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard recount one of the most dramatic stories in American history --- the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and how this one gunshot changed the country forever.

Step 1: Materials
1 bulb socket
1 cord (I had this one laying around from something or other)
Electrical tape/heat shrink tubing
Wine cork
Step 2: Sand/Make holes
Poke holes with the hammer and nail in an abstract fashion.
Cut hole in the bottom to hold the bulb socket.
Should look something like the pictures.
Step 3: Feet
This will allow room for the wires, and allow air to get through for cooling purposes.
Step 4: Wiring
Use electrical tape (or preferably heat shrink tubing).
Insert socket into hole, and tape wires to the bottom.
Step 5: That's About It
I switched the bulb to a small, low wattage CF bulb after the photos were taken.
I'd like to maybe make one with a stand, that way the can could be upside down and there could be holes in the bottom as well.
I was also thinking about making a hanging version.
This is pretty much a prototype, and suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks for reading.

I think this is a wise decision. When working on an app, you need to factor in the costs. The fact that they can sell it on Android for 1$ more and still outsell on Android 5x that of iOS is a major reason to switch to Android first. Also, since there is a gap of "good" podcasts, it's the best time for them to come into android and establish a foothold.

I recently bought a new podcast app for my iPhone. I bought Downcast because I had read that Pocketcast's new upgrade was for Android only. I really don't like apps that cater to that platform first.
Android is probably easier to code

Newark's Anni Thomasson is The Advocate's 2012 Volleyball Player of the Year.
- Filed Under
Anni Thomasson's feats on the volleyball court have been well documented in the past three years.
But what sets the Newark senior apart from most, besides her athletic ability, is the fact she never is satisfied.
It would be easy for Thomasson, who just signed a National Letter of Intent to attend the University of Kentucky on athletic scholarship for volleyball, to coast through the season. ...
