Find Your Way with MAP
Does your organization seem to drift from one focus to the next? A number of Minnesota historical organizations have used the Museum Assessment Program (called MAP) to find their way to a clearer day. Read what your colleagues are saying about MAP: "Clay County Historical Society decided to do a MAP assessment because: we weren't [...]
Paper Records with Electronic?
Now that many of you have made the move to electronic cataloging (such as PastPerfect), are you still keeping paper records? Of course we keep the signed acquisition forms, but do you maintain paper accession books and a card catalogs of artifacts? At this point, I am continuing to maintain paper records like they started [...]
One difference between local history and libraries
The Wall Street Journal for Friday November 26, 2010 carried an article by Paul Sonne, "Price Hikes Put U.K. Libraries in a Bind." When it comes to relevance in an age of near universal expectation that people should be able to have electronic access instantly, historical organizations are often said to face many of the [...]
Phone books call it a day
The St. Paul Pioneer Press for Friday November 12, 2010, printed an Associated Press article by Michael Felberbaum, "Familiar phone books dying in digital age." As Internet penetration edges up in all parts of the state (see Electronic Access for Rural Minnesota), people rely on resources that are both more easily searched and perceived to [...]
Role for local history during church closures
News over the past weekend that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis would restructure it parishes by closing or merging congregations with others brought to mind all of the same challenges of relocating membership, maintenance costs, manpower shortages, and more long faced by rural churches of many denominations. The news and reaction [...]
History Overnight
MinnPost on Saturday October 2, 2010, ran an article on Linden Hills, a two-mansion historic site complex in Little Falls, that discussed the competing concerns when a house museum allows for overnight stays. This blend between historic house museum and bed & breakfast is not surprising considering the economic times. Small nonprofits need to look under [...]

TeamSpeak Text Chat on Website
Hello all,
Been looking for ways to get the community over at Ahoy World to engage more with eachother. The core members use TeamSpeak the majority of the time so we'd like to encourage more people to access it. I started up an IRC server a while back but it's never used.
After a lot of thought, my conclusion was that all I needed was some way to export the text chat from TeamSpeak to the site. If I could do that and place it at the top of the home page, or even inside a sidebar, it'd be fantastic for getting members to engage and talk to one-another, regardless of having to install specific applications!
The second sentence of this topic is exactly what I'm looking for, though this quickly goes off to a client-based IRC plugin.
Would it be possible to, maybe with a bot, export the TeamSpeak text chat to a live, updating "Shout Box" that users can post into?
Looking forward to hearing your responses. It's important to note that if anyone is willing to take the time to develop such an addition, money could be provided for your troubles.

Nanobubble contrast agent reveals tumour imaging potential in ultrasound test
The Nanobiotechnology Group from Harbin Institute of Technology in collaboration with researchers at Peking University Third Hospital has successfully developed a novel biocompatible nanobubble ultrasound contrast agent that may provide a versatile adjunct for the enhancement of ultrasonic imaging and/or treatment of tumours.
To fabricate the nanobubble-based contrast agent, the researchers first ultrasonicate a mixture of Span 60 and polyoxyethylene 40 stearate and then use differential centrifugation to isolate the relevant subpopulation from the parent suspensions.
Excellent power Doppler enhancement was found in vivo in renal imaging following intravenous injection of the team's nanobubble contrast agent. The tiny bubbles are small enough to leak through the vascular pores of the tumour and accumulate in the tumour tissue by means of passive targeting due to the higher permeability of tumour blood vessels compared with normal tissue vasculature. After extravasations, an increased acoustic signal is obtained from the accumulated nanobubbles, providing strong ultrasound contrast imaging.
In addition to diagnostic applications, the nanobubbles show great potential as ultrasound-mediated drug-delivery vehicles to facilitate drug release and extravascular delivery.
More details can be found in the journal Nanotechnology.

Embraer expects to make a decision on product enhancements or a new commercial aircraft in 12-18 months.
Company EVP of the airline market Mauro Kern outlined that timeframe during the ISTAT annual conference today in Orlando, Florida, stating the time period to make a decision "could be shorter than that".
Kern says Embraer has several conceptual studies underway examining various scenarios including low- and high-speed turboprops, E-Jet family enhancements and larger aircraft featuring open rotor engine technology. He recently told ATI and Flightglobal that one product under consideration was a stretch of the E-195 internally dubbed the E-195X.
He emphasises that the 2014-2015 timeframe is not the right time to introduce a clean sheet aircraft design since it would heighten competition with Airbus and Boeing, companies that have a "fabulous customer base". Kern says new entrants attempting to compete with the two major airframers would face significant challenges.
With new technology such as the open rotor possibly maturing in the 2020-2025 timeframe, Kern believes aircraft developed using that and other available technologies could produce gains in cash operating costs.
In the short-term, Kern tells ATI and Flightglobal on the sidelines of the ISTAT conference that while Embraer is not engaged in active discussions with United Airlines, the airframer believes the E-190 could play a role in the major carrier's fleet.
United has reportedly invited Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer to join discussions regarding a narrowbody order, which the carrier aims to place this year.
Embraer did not compete in the order that Republic Airways Holdings awarded to Bombardier last month for 40 firm 138-seat CS300 CSeries aircraft, says Kern, adding that was a competition to replace the Airbus narrowbodies operated by Republic's subsidiary Frontier Airlines.
Kern says the E-190 continues to play a key role in Republic's fleet. Republic in 2009 opted to purchase 10 E-190s from US Airways, and operates the aircraft from both Frontier's Denver hub and the Milwaukee base of Midwest Airlines. Republic closed on the acquisitions of both Frontier and Midwest in 2009.
Kern, meanwhile, admits there is a large amount of curiosity regarding Embraer's future plans for clean-sheet design or an E-Jet revamp.
"We want to make a mature decision," says Kern, who explains Embraer aims to add value to customers through its product offerings, rather than adopting a "me too" philosophy.

Full detailed profile on Dillon Quartermaine (Past) Played by Scott Clifton on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Clifton (Apega/WENN.com)
Birthday: 1984-10-31
Dillon takes Lulu some cookies. He says that food keeps arriving at the Q house and Cook can't stop baking because she's sad. Lulu tells Dillon that she thinks Scott Baldwin knows who killed Rick Webber, and for now, they won't let Luke know what they're working on.
At the hospital, the Q family is reacting to Alan's death. Monica tells Edward that she had the chance to say everything she needed to and Alan and she felt closer than they had in years. Dillon and Alice show up and Alice takes Monica in her arms for a giant bear hug. Dillon sits with Tracy and listens to her talk about how she and her brother used to watch each other's back. Tracy sadly said, "He was the one person who knew what it was like to grow up in this family and I'm scared to live without him." Dillon is touched to hear this side of their relationship. She makes Dillon laugh a little when she recounted her pigtails and how Alan always teased her about them. She said that they never, ever, said "I love you" to each other. Tracy cries and says she'll never make the same mistake again, so she makes Dillon look at her and listen as she says, "I love you will all of my heart. You are a magnificent son." She takes a crying Dillon in her arms and cradles him.
In the waiting room, Tracy and Luke argue over Lulu's suitors. Tracy thinks they are all unsuitable, but Luke won't make a decision. A doctor comes out, telling them Lulu came through surgery fine. All three boys want to see her and Luke tells them all to back off. No one is going to see Lulu - except him! Entering Lulu's room, Luke sees she is awake but woozy. Luke tells her about Dillon, Spinelli and Milo arguing over her in the waiting room. Lulu can't believe it. Luke goes back to let Tracy know Lulu is fine. Spinelli takes off to see her, but they stop Dillon and Milo. Dillon has a huge responsibility to Lulu and Milo is just a goon, according to Luke. Both should just leave her alone for a while.
Dillon arrives at Lulu's room, followed a few minutes later by Milo. He offers to help Lulu with her physical therapy and Dillon interrupts. "If anyone is going to help Lulu with her physical therapy it's going to be me," he says. Milo smirks at him, telling him he doesn't look like he knows how to work out. Dillon grasps Lulu's hands, telling her he wants to renew their old bond. From the doorway, Georgie says,"Please, don't let me interrupt," and quickly leaves the room! Dillon follows and then Milo leaves. A few minutes later, Scotty arrives. He needs to talk to Lulu, if she'll let him!
In the all, Georgie tries to let Dillon out of their marriage. "I am not the nerd you fell in love with at Kelly's," she says. "We've changed." Georgie tells him he has to let go - and so does she! Dillon struggles for a moment before telling Georgie he loves her. "But?" she asks. "But," he says, "You're right. We're over." Georgie turns and walks away.
Outside the hotel, Luke yells for help for Lulu. Lucky rushes over with a doctor. An artery in her leg has been severed, the doctor says, but she will be okay. The team take her to the hospital and once there Lulu briefly wakes up. "I knew you'd find me," she tells Luke. Tracy meets Luke and Lulu as they are brought in and apologizes to Luke for not believing he would find Lulu. The medics wheel Lulu away to continue working on her. Together, Tracy offers Luke a deal: next time he decides to quit on something she will remind him of this and not let him give up! Spinelli arrives, goofily talking to Luke, The Father Of The Blonde One. Tracy tells Luke that Spinelli is a bad influence and advises him to keep Spinelli away from Lulu. Dillon and Michael arrive and the three begin arguing over who should be with Lulu. "Enough!" Tracy yells and orders Luke to order the boys to leave! Before Luke can say anything, the boys start arguing again. Finally Luke speaks up, telling the boys who Lulu dates is her choice!
Inside the rubble, Spinelli is trying to find Lulu. He knows she was right behind him at one point but can't find her now. The rescue workers find him and pull him out against his will! Outside, they try to understand what he is saying but can't understand his weird code. Dillon comes over and Spinelli explains to him that Lulu was behind him and then she was gone! Worried, Dillon asks where they were the last time he saw Lulu but Spinelli doesn't know. He had her hand in his before the blast but when he woke up she wasn't there! Inside the rubble, Luke continues searching. He describes Lulu to rescue workers, but they don't recognize her description. One of them tells him to leave but he refuses and keeps looking. Seeing a hand in the rubble, Luke begins to dig! He uncovers a victim. It isn't Lulu and he keeps looking. "Lulu! Answer me!" he yells. Coughing from the dust and debris in the air, Luke is running out of strength. He asks Laura to help him find her. In the corner of the room, he sees an arm in the rubble and begins to dig again. It's Lulu! "Daddy's here," he tells her unconscious form. She is bleeding heavily and Luke carries her from the building.
Inside the rubble, Maxie tries to disguise one of the hostage takers! None of the other hostages saw his face. He could be free! "Why are you doing this for me?" he asks. Maxie tells him it's because he didn't shoot her. Rescue workers arrive and take them both outside. Meanwhile Luke, still handcuffed to the drain pipe, begs Alexis to get a key. He has to get to Lulu! Alexis leaves him to get help and Dillon arrives. Luke is nearly hysterical at not being able to go inside to search for Lulu and convinces Dillon to free him. Finally free, Luke confronts Mac who still won't let him inside. Maxie comes outside, distracting Mac long enough for Luke to get inside. From the corner of her eye, Maxie watches her captor go free.
Bobbie comes to the scene out front of the Metro Court to sit with Luke. Luke tells her that when Mr. Craig learns that the code isn't right, he's likely to kill all the hostages. Meanwhile, Georgie is lamenting about how awful she has been to Maxi lately. She tells Dillon that she'll never forgive herself if something happens to her. Bobbie convinces Georgie to come back to Kelly's with her, and Dillon declines to come along.
Outside, Georgie has come to the scene for an update because she is tired of watching the news from Kelly's. When Mac tells her that he's had no word of Maxi, she falls into his arms. Lucky comes over to report to Mac and Georgie lays into him for using Maxi and not even caring that she's stuck inside as well as his precious Elizabeth. Within earshot, Dillon is telling Luke that his attempt at rescuing Lulu was worth a try. Luke says that he has spent his life running bluffs, but with Lulu's life on the line he folded. He said he started to think like a father instead of a card player, and now Lulu is worse off than she was before. Dillon confesses that he doesn't know when it happened, but he can't imagine his life without Lulu. After he finishes with Luke, Dillon walks over to stand by Georgie and tells her that they can be scared together. Georgie rests her head on his familiar shoulder.

Moving Money
this wiki
Spending US dollars abroadEdit
See Foreign Exchange fees on bank cards and credit cards for a comprehensive list of bank cards and credit card fees.
To wire money from the US, see the comprehensive list of US banks that offer free outbound wires. Note that it this list is getting outdated.
Buying US dollars with eurosEdit
Buying USD with euros is a tricky situation, teeming with pitfalls and hidden costs. The table below is a tool for consumers to attack this problem. The column entitled "cost of actual transactions" is meant for consumers to enter real world figures after completing a transfer. This will help expose undocumented hidden costs. Please use the credit card charges calculator to compute the final exchange rate that was applied, so all brokers are compared to the same source for a wholesale exchange rate. Although these are not really credit card transactions, the calculator will serve our purpose.
Using ForEx Markets to buy USD Edit
Using a forex (FX) broker to exchange money has the advantage of getting a realtime exchange rate that is very close to the actual value of your assets (aka "spot FX" rate). The pitfall is that most forex brokers are running either a scam, or they impose hidden fees (see legal scam: wire siphoning). Transparency generally does not exist with forex trading.
Many brokers are unable to deliver purchased assets. In other words, you can buy US dollars, but you cannot withdraw the USD that you bought. These brokers that deal in non-deliverables usually do not disclose the limitation; setting clients up to discover this after they exchange a currency. Brokers of non-deliverables are color coded in the chart below as red, signifying that they are unusable for our purpose. Forex dealers known to have hidden fees are color coded as orange. Before opening a forex account, check the list of blacklisted brokers.
You'll find that no FX broker comes close to offering what Interactive Brokers offers. IB does not siphon money from wires at either end, and their assets are deliverable. Their commission is only $2.50. There's no competition.
|fees to fund from a SEPA bank
|fees and methods of USD withdrawal (Eg: ACH, swift wire, paper check, paypal)

|2-3 pips for spot trades
|Yes; GB98 NWBK 6072 1442 0235 56 (but read the warning on fees)
|UK based. $10k min. on FX trades. Misleading sales practices. Error prone company. Beware: They falsely claim that fees are only charged if the deposit comes from a credit card. A European wire was sent within Eurozone, and they skimmed a percentage from it. The scam works this way: CMC Markets established a relationship with their bank (Natwest) whereby Natwest siphons money as it passes either direction. CMC Markets does not apply the charge directly themselves, so they tell customers that they charge no fee.
|Exto Capital
|Broker: none. Broker's bank: 0-10 EUR (undisclosed)

|Broker: none. Broker's bank (HSBC): "a few pounds" according to CSR. (undisclosed)
|They state that they accept "wire transfers", but do not disclose whether they can issue an IBAN number, so the cost of the transfer is unknown.
|Unusable service (undeliverable). Withdrawal currency must be the same as the deposit currency. They claim to profit strictly from spread.
|IB (Interactive Brokers)
|Broker: $1 commission per trade. Bank: no fee
|wire; check; ACH (first xfer in a month free, $1 each additional xfer)
|Germany, w/ BIC: CITI DE FF
|IB's bank is Citibank. Euros can be wired to IB's bank in Germany, and there are no charges from IB or Citibank for the wire. It is possible to wire euros to fund, do a spot trade for USD, and ACH the USD to a US account. Min commissions per month is $10.
|IG Markets
|wire (15 GBP for intl withdrawal)
|Broker: none Broker's bank: $10-15 (undisclosed)
|wire ($40); check (free)
|Unusable service (undeliverable). When you fund with euros, the money is instantly converted into USD. So clients have no way of controlling the trade from euros to usd.
|MB Trading
|Broker: none Broker's bank: unknown
|wire ($20); check (free)
|0 pips
|Commission= $0.50 per 10,000 currency. Appears to be US based. We need to know if euros arrive as euros, and if the trades are deliverable. They use Wells Fargo bank. They claim to not charge any fees, but when asked specifically about Wells Fargo, they refuse to make a statement.
|Norvik Banka
|wire (10 USD for intl USD withdrawal)
|It's not clear whether there is a charge to fund the account with a SEPA wire. Account fee page shows "free", but transfer page suggests a fee, and doesn't distinguish the direction of transfer. Called after hours. CSR had very rough English. He seemed to be saying that there is no charge to fund an account, but could not say what the brokers bank charges. He said to call during normal business hours.
|1st withdrawal free each month, €20 fee thereafter
|Strange requirement: money can only be withdrawn the same way it's deposited. They have a separate service for money transfers, so presumably they've crippled their forex service to promote their lucrative transfer service.
|2 Pip Fixed
|Broker: none Broker's bank: unknown
|UBS bank in Zurich, CH. When asked what hidden fees UBS charges, 2pipfixed responded "we don't have hidden fees," which obviously doesn't answer the question.
|Broker: 24.95 EUR for xfers < 12,500; free for xfers > 12,500. Broker's bank: unknown.
|Unusable service (undeliverable). It's for margin trading only. The currency used to fund the account must be the same for withdrawal. They use Dresdner bank, and the bank charges an undisclosed fee.
|X-Trade Brokers
|Bank fees: 0,5% of the nominal (min 50 but max 300 PLN which is around 15-90 USD)80 PLN (around 20-25 USD). (undisclosed)

Using Online Money Transfer Operators (MTOs) to buy USD Edit
MTOs offer specialized services for transferring money country to country. The advantage is avoidance of hidden intermediary bank fees. You generally know the cost of the transfer. And unlike forex brokerages, purchases are always deliverable.
The pitfall here is cost is hidden in the exchange rate. Clients do not get the benefit of exchanging at the realtime rate the assets are being traded at. At best, a merchant may offer a wholesale interbank daily rate. This gives the false impression that the rate is very close to the actual rate being traded, when in fact there is no oversight or transparency in how banks compute the interbank rate. Worse, most banks will give the customer a retail exchange rate, which is the already marked up interbank rate with another profit margin on top of it.
There is no practical way to comparison shop with these services. In some cases you can get a rate quote once you have established an account, but the effort of doing that for every vendor makes it impractical.
There is a few comparison sites that seems to be neutral like http://www.sendmoneyhome.org/ and
http://InternationalMoneyTransfers.org. However, it's not a complete representation of all the fees. Eg. Ivobank charges a 30 gbp wire fee that www.sendmoneyhome.org does not account for in the total amount received column.
|exchange rate markup or spread
|EU IBAN number available?
|Methods of USD distribution (Eg: ACH, swift wire, paper check
|cost of actual transactions (amount of EUR transfered; flat fees; effective exchange rate computed by the calculator)
|10 GBP if xfer < 700 GBP; free if xfer > 700 GBP
|Seems to be UK centric. It's unclear whether an EU bank can wire money for free. Also unclear on how money can be withdrawn (check, EFT, ACH?).
|aka www.ukforex.co.uk
|none (potentially... see notes)
|Rate is unpublished. Client calls to negotiate a rate over the phone on a case by case basis.
|Yes. This is provided along with the transaction confirmation once you have done the deal.
|They claim to profit strictly from spread. However, there's some fine print that says "HiFX provides one free transfer per trade." Thus, there is an undisclosed transfer fee when you consider that two wire transfers are needed. OTOH, suppose two trades are made. Eg. wire euros in, buy sterling, then with the sterling buy USD. Technically that would allow for the needed 2 free transfers - but at the cost of paying an extra spread.
They charge $21 for paying you by wire in the US. Payment by draft or EFT deposit is free.
You can send them funds free by EFT / ACH from some countries.
They profit from the spread. They have a lowest rates guarantee, but this claim is not easily verifiable.Once you're registered, they'll give you a live quote for your transaction amount before you have to submit it. They also publish live mid market rates on their site. To calculate the spread (~1.5% generally), you have to figure the difference between that and the effective rate they quote for your individual transaction.
|Fair FX
|Spot FX rates
|It's indeed quite an advantage to pay spot fx rates. Transfer fees are unknown (clients email for personal response).
|10 EUR transaction fee, or 5 USD if transferring from USD
|probably (since they can send to IBAN numbers)
|They have their own network of intermediary banks, and move money between their own accounts
|50 GPB min xfer

Distribution of foreign funds in the US Edit
Most US banks accept incoming foreign paper checks for free, and incoming domestic ACH electronic fund transfers ("EFT") are also free, but they generally charge a fee for incoming international wire transfers ($10-50 depending on the bank). Unfortunately, most bank accounts outside of the US do not come with checkbooks, and to have non-US bank staff write a check from your account is generally cost prohibitive (Eg. 45 euros). Non-US banks are incapable of ACH EFT's.
Consequently, most consumers get burned when it comes to distributing foreign money to a US account. However, there are some exceptional US-based consumer banks and brokerages that will actually accept an incoming international wire at no cost. These banks and brokerages are listed below. Note that although these banks do not directly charge a fee for inbound wires, some of them use an intermediate bank that does impose a fee.
Credit unions generally do not impose incoming wire transfer fees. Credit unions usually have county residency requirements of some sort, so if your the US, just go check your local credit union.

|They claim they do not charge a fee, and that their intermediate bank (Citibank) will not charge a fee to move money from Citibank to Schwab. Ultimately, they will not guarantee that money is not siphoned off somewhere along the line before the money reaches Citibank, and they will not guarantee that Citibank won't charge the outside bank a fee. Schwab has the BIC CSCHUS6SWTS for a US branch, and they are on the swift network -- but that's misleading. The brokerage account actually uses the BIC CITIUS33.

PHONEIX, Arizona (AP) -- Rookie Shane Larkin, son of baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin, scored a career-high 18 points, including two free throws with 11.1 seconds to play, and the Dallas Mavericks held on to beat the Phoenix Suns 110-107 on Friday night.
The Suns had a last chance to tie it when Vince Carter turned it over trying to inbound the ball after a basket by Phoenix with 6.7 seconds left. But P.J. Tucker's try from the corner rimmed out, and replays showed his foot was on the line so it would have been for two points, anyway.
Monta Ellis scored 24 and Dirk Nowitzki 21 for the Mavericks, who never trailed.
Shawn Marion scored eight of his 16 in the third quarter for Dallas.
Goran Dragic scored 28 points. Markieff Morris added 23, including 14 in the final quarter, and grabbed 12 rebounds.

The continuous countercurrent extraction of polylactam granules with hot water in an extraction zone for the removal of monomer and/or oligomers, the extraction zone being subdivided into subzones by at least one heating zone. The density of the extract-containing water differs by at least 0.0002 between the subzones.
1. A process for the extraction of monomer-containing and/or oligomer-containing polylactam granules which comprises continuously extracting polylactam granules with a countercurrent of water at temperatures above 80° C, under the following conditions:
a. the water flows upwardly through a substantially vertical extraction zone at a mean of from 0.5 to 20 cm/min and the polylactam granules pass downwardly through said extraction zone at a rate of from 0.2 to 5 cm/min,
b. the temperature at the upper end of the extraction zone is higher than at its lower end,
c. the extraction zone is divided into subzones by at least one heating zone so that the density of the water containing extractables in an upper subzone is lower than that of the water contained in the subzone immediately below by at least 0.0002, and
d. the uppermost heating zone divides the entire extraction zone into lengths bearing a ratio to each other of from 50:50 to 85:15, the shorter section being at the upper end of the extraction zone and said heating zone or the total of said heating zones constitutes 1/7 to 1/20 of the length of the vertical exraction zone.
2. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein polycaprolactam granules are extracted.
3. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extraction zone is divided into subzones by at least two heating zones.
4. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the density of the water containing extractable material is from 0.0005 to 0.004 lower in the subzone immediately above a heating zone than in the next lower subzone.
5. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said heating zone or zones respectively constitute a tubular heat exchanger with tubes of constricted cross-section.
6. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the temperature of the water in the upper subzone is 95°-99° C., and the temperature of the water in the next lower subzone is 5°-9° C. below the water temperature in said upper zone.
7. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extraction zone is divided into subzones by at least two heating zones, the temperature of the water in the upper subzone is 95°-99° C., and the temperature of the water in the next lower subzone is 5°-9° C. below the water temperature in said upper zone, and the temperature of the water in the next lower subzone or successive, lower subzones is 2°-4° C. below the water temperature of the subzone immediately thereabove.
This invention relates to the continuous extraction of polylactam granules containing monomers and/or oligomers using hot water in a countercurrent.
It is known to extract monomeric or oligomeric lactams from polylactam granules using hot water countercurrently. However, the prior art processes are unsatisfactory as regards the efficiency and uniformity of extraction.
It is an object of the invention to provide a process which affords efficient and uniform extraction of the granules. This object is achieved by a countercurrent process for the continuous extraction of polylactam granules containing monomers and/or oligomers using water heated at temperatures above 80° C, which water flows upwardly through a substantially vertical extraction zone whilst the granules of polylactam pass downwardly through said extraction zone, the temperature of which is higher at the top than at the bottom, wherein the extraction zone is divided into subzones by at least one heating zone, the density of the water containing extractables in a subzone above a heating zone being less than that the water in the subzone immediately below said heating zone by at least 0.0002, and the top heating zone dividing the entire extraction zone so as to give a ratio of zone lengths on each side thereof of from 50:50 to 85:15 with the shorter section at the upper end of the extraction zone.
Suitable polylactams are generally those which have been obtained by polymerization of lactams of from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, such as caprylolactam, laurolactam and, in particular, caprolactam, or those obtained from the corresponding acids. Polycaprolactam is particularly suitable.
In general, the polylactams have a molecular weight making them suitable for melt-spinning. The polylactams usually have relative viscosities of from 1.5 to 5, as measured on a 1% solution in 96% sulfuric acid at 25° C. The size of the granules is generally between 1 to 5 mm and more particularly between 1.5 and 3.5 mm. Usually, the polylactams contain up to from 10 to 12% by weight of monomeric and/or oligomeric lactams such as dimeric, trimeric or tetrameric lactams derived from the manufacturing process.
Extraction is carried out in a substantially vertical extraction zone. Suitable reaction zones are for example towers having internal diameters of up to some meters, for example from 0.5 to 3 meters.
The granules of polylactam move downwardly through the extraction zone, whilst the water moves countercurrrently upwardly therethrough. In general, gravity forces are sufficient to produce comparatively slow sinking of the granules.
The extraction zone is divided into subzones by at least one and preferably at least two heating zones. Such a heating zone heats the upwardly flowing water to such an extent that its density above such a heating zone is less than its density immediately below said heating zone by at least 0.0002 and in particularly by from 0.0005 to 0.004, in spite of its greater content of extracted material. The heating zone or, in the case of a number of heating zones, the top heating zone divides the entire extraction zone into two sections having a ratio of lengths of from 50:50 to 85.15 and in particular from 60:40 to 80:20, the shorter section being at the top of the extraction zone. The above ratio of lengths still holds when more than one heating zone is present. It is convenient to provide additional heating zones so as to subdivide the longer section into subzones of appropriate lengths.
The length of the heating zone or zones is conveniently from one seventh to one twentieth of the total length of the extraction zone. The heating zone conveniently has a number of constrictions in its cross-section. For example, it may be in the from of a tubular heat exchanger.
The extraction zone is conveniently heated externally and possesses good thermal insulation in order to avoid heat losses. It is advantageous for the external heating to be correlated with the rising temperature in the extraction zone. In general, the length of the extraction zone is many times, say from 5 to 40 times, its diameter.
It is desirable, if only on account of accelerated infusion, to use water as hot as possible in the extraction zone, i.e. water or aqueous extract which is just below its boiling point. Since the specified density differences are effected by temperature leaps in the heating zones, the required temperature of the water entering the extraction zone at the bottom is governed by the desired temperature in the top subzone. Temperatures in the top subzone of from 95° to 99° C have proved successful. A successful way of achieving the required density difference between the extraction water has proved to be the establishment of a temperature differential of from 5° to 9° C and in particular of from 6° to 8° C by the top heating zone. Where additional heating zones are present, the temperature differentials produced thereby need generally be only from 2° to 4° C. The heating zone serve to prevent back-mixing of the water present in the upper partial zone and containing more extract with the water present in the subzone below the heating zone. We have found it convenient to introduce the water to the extraction zone at a temperature of from 80° to 93° C and in particular from 85° to 90° C.
Of paramount importance is the heating zone located at the top of the extraction zone. In the upper subzone formed thereby, a high percentage of monomers or oligomers migrate from the granules into the water on account of the high temperature of the extraction water and the high concentraction of monomers or oligomers in the polylactam granules. In this upper subzone, the density of the aqueous extract solution is relatively high. In order to avoid back-mixing with the water in the subzone immediately below said heating zone, the temperature leap produced by the heating zone is relatively high, as stated above.
Although a single heating zone in the extraction zone effects substantial extraction of the granules, the extracting effect may be increased by the presence of one or more additional heating zones located below the first heating zone.
Determination of the density of the extract-containing water in the individual subzones may be effected in conventional manner. The temperature difference required to give the desired density difference on the two sides of the heating zone or zones may be determined by taking samples from the subzones or by simple experiment.
In general, extraction is carried out at atmospheric pressure, and consequently the upper limit of the water temperature is the normal boiling point of about 100° C. In principle however, it is possible to operate at higher temperatures, say up to 120° C, and at the corresponding superatmospheric pressures.
The rate of descent of the granules is relatively slow, being from about 0.2 to 5 cm/min and in particular from 0.4 to 2 cm/min. The rate of ascent of the water is conveniently from 0.5 to 20 cm/min and in particular from 1.0 to 10 cm/min.
The level of the water in the extraction column may be simply regulated by the provision of overflow means above the extraction zone. The granules should always be covered by a certain depth of water.
The weight ratio of granules to water is desirably from 1:1.5 to 1:3.5, preferably 1:1.9 to 1:2.5 based on non-extracted granules. The ratio is dependent on the desired concentration of lactam in the water and in the extracted granules.
If desired, extraction may be carried out under a protective gas, although the protective atmosphere produced by the water vapor is generally sufficient.
Discharge of the extracted polylactam granules from the extraction zone may be effected by conventional means. The granules are then dried in the usual manner.
The process of the invention enables continuous extraction to be carried out over long periods. Since the heating zone or zones prevent back-mixing of the extract-containing water between the subzones, extraction is very uniform, this being an important factor when it is desired to use the material for spinning purposes. It is also possible to operate at a very advantageous ratio of granules to water. This is particularly desirable, since it is uneconomical to work up large volumes of extract-containing, weakly concentrated water to lactam or oligomers, and large volumes of such water would lead to unacceptable waste water pollution.
The following Example illustrates the process of the invention.
In a vertical extraction column (height 20 m, internal diameter 1.9 m) polycaprolactam granules (relative viscosity 2.4, cylindrical granules having a diameter of 2.5 mm, a length of 2.7 mm and a bulk density of 0.65 kg/dm3) are continuously passed downwardly under their own weight at a rate of 0.8 cm/min, water being continuously passed upwardly therethrough.
The extraction zone is divided into three subzones by two similar heating zones. Densities in the three subzones are as follows: upper subzone 0.9640, middle subzone 0.9661, lower subzone 0.9672. These density differences prevent back-mixing of extract-containing water in a subzone with the water in a subzone immediately below. The temperatures in the subzones are 98° C, 91° C and 88° respectively. The ratio of the zone lengths, in the same order, is 33:17:50.
The ratio by weight of granules to water is 1:2. The granules used initially have a content of extractables of 11% w/w and the extracted granules obtained have a content of 0.4% w/w.

THE Real Book:
As far as marimba players in the jazz world, there are a few, but they're the exception, not the rule. "Typically" for jazz, the vibraphone is used. The marimba is *mostly* used for classical pieces. Of course, there are probably hundreds of exceptions, and you might view playing marimba in a jazz context as satisfying some niche, but for jazz music, the vibraphone is far more ideal, due to the sustain bar, the timbre of the instrument, and, quite frankly, the size and portability of the instrument.
Also, I'd recommend getting at least a 3-octave instrument for serious music study. If you want to continue with marimba, which I would highly encourage, you can find 4-octave models on eBay for about $1000. If you get a set of vibes, don't skimp and get a 2.5 octave model...get a full 3 octaves.
...but, while you have your current set up, get a Real Book, and start picking out tunes to listen to and learn, and then play the begeezus out of 'em. Learn them inside and out, how to solo over them, which chord substitutions work, how different jazz greats did them differently, etc...
Good luck and have fun!

Although Reeves is quite the consumate air traveler, he had yet to experience our favorite form of travel: a road trip!
Over Memorial Day weekend, we packed the car to the brim and headed south with friends to Homer.
Homer, also known as "the cosmic hamlet by the sea," or "the end of the road," is a little town located on the Kenai Peninsula. We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend of good food, phenomenal scenery and lots of firsts for Mr. Reeves.
We were blessed with unusually clear and calm weather. The surroundings were truly spectacular and it is easy to see why Homer is a favorite destination of so many Alaskans.
Reeves was a fan. Can't you tell?
We shared a lovely condo with our friends at the Land's End Resort. As its name suggests, the resort is located at the end of the Homer spit.
Our traboard the "Danny J" to Halibut Cove was surely a highlight of the weekend.
One lucky guy was invited into the wheel house to stay warm. (Ah, the beauty of a female captain and deck hand.) Our captain was an energetic, friendly woman who lived half the year in Hawaii and half in Halibut Cove. She was sent to live in Halibut Cove with her aunt and uncle 46 years ago and has lived there since.
Located on the Kenai Peninsula six miles southeast of Homer, Halibut Cove is a tiny community situated in Alaska's first state park, Kachemak Bay State Park. The park area is a total of 400,000 acres of mountains, glaciers, forests, coastline and ocean.
According to the census, the Cove is home to only 35 residents, 17 of whom are resident artists. Aside from one restaurant and a coffee shop, the cove is home to three tiny art galleries. One of the cove's most famous artists, Diana Tillion, has worked almost exclusively in octopus ink since the 1950s.
We had an incredible lunch at the cove's only restaurant, "The Saltry."
The food was fresh and delicious. I was too busy trying to keep clam chowder out of a certain someone's mouth to take pictures of our food.
After lunch, we took a stroll along the boardwalk that stretches along the coastline. We said hello to many bald eagles and a few sea otters.
On our final day in Homer, the boys took a fishing charter while Erin and I "relaxed" with the kiddos. I was more than happy to miss out on the fishing expedition as long as my freezer would be filled with fresh halibut and king salmon at the end of the day.
The boys delivered. (Er, the charter company delivered. I am not sure the boys felt that the much skill was involved on their parts in their "catches.")
Regardless, Will and I have been dutifully eating our salmon filets since arriving home. There's nothing quite like fresh Alaskan king salmon.
We capped off our days with beachfront s'mores and wine after the kids had gone to bed. The baby monitor juuuuust stretched far enough. Bliss.
Sadly, that is our last trip to Homer for a while as our new home in Charlottesville, Virginia awaits us this summer. But, I highly recommend a trip there should you find yourself in Alaska.
Back on the range, Reeves is breaking all sorts of new ground. He seems to have grown inches overnight (and is now in the 95% for his height), and is suddenly constantly on the move. He is sitting up like a pro and on the verge of crawling.
The poor child is finally discovering grass after living under a blanket of snow and slush for the first four months of his life.
We also ventured into solids…sporadically.
We have tried sweet potato, avocado and banana. Of course, banana was the biggest hit – nice and sweet.
We also had our first (and likely only) heat wave last week.
We will surely miss you, Alaska.
Especially this guy!
Next week our little guy turns six months old. Every month is better than the last!

Clean Hair Styling Products
The health of your hair can say a lot about you. No matter how long or short your hair is, whether you color it or use other treatments you probably use different hair styling products to get that look you want. The hair care market is flooded with all sorts of products for different styling needs. Many of those products are not made with natural products, and the unnatural ingredients in these products may do what they're intended to do, but they do so by compromising the overall health of your hair, and by emitting bad chemicals into the environment through various ways, including the air and water you breathe.
Ingredients to Avoid
Propylene Glycol
Propylene Glycol appears on labels in many different ways. The FDA considers it safe as a food additive, but it may also be a skin irritant. This chemical is commonly found in styling gels, lotions, hair conditioners and shampoo.
You will likely find this labeled as Diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, ethanolamine, triethanolamine, or as Lauramide DEA. This chemical is commonly found in foaming products such as hair mousse, hair scrunching foam, and even in shampoo.
There are many other adverse chemicals that are known to be skin or scalp irritants, but they are still approved for use in hair styling products. Their names may be long and confusing sounding, but the best way to avoid these ingredients is by looking specifically for products that contain natural ingredients.
Natural Alternatives And Products That Contain Safe Ingredients
Shea Butter – Also Called Butyrosperum Parkii
Shea butter is well known for its excellent moisturizing properties. It also contains a natural substance that offers UV protection. When used in hair styling products, it makes hair look shinier and more lustrous. It also helps dry hair retain moisture. Intelligent Nutrients Organic Styling Pomade is highly recommended for frizz control in humidity. It is also a good styling aid to choose if your hair tends to be dry. Shea butter is one of the natural moisturizing ingredients in this product. Additional ingredients in this styling pommade include beeswax, Jojoba seed oil and many other organic seed oils all of which are there to help hair look shiny and lustrous.
Other ingredients to look for in natural hair care products include chamomile, well known for its purifying and healing properties, sunflower oil, an ingredient that adds shine to hair without leaving an unpleasant oily residue. Olive oil and avocado oil both offer many benefits, including moisturizing and frizz control. Honey is often added to hair rinses, pommades and conditioners. Honey also has properties that aid in moisture retention, but it is also a rich source of all sorts of vitamins and minerals that are helpful for maintaining overall hair health.

- Students prepare for lu'au
Current News
Willamette students prepare for annual campus lu'au
This year's lu'au theme, "I Lōkahi Me He `Ohana" — "We come together as one family" — mirrors the spirit of the Willamette University motto, "Not alone unto ourselves are we born."
In the spirit of both, the annual event offers a unique cultural experience stemming from the hearts of the Hawaiian students among the Willamette community.
Members of the student Hawai'i Club and other participants are currently working hard to prepare for the April 16 event, which will feature an authentic Polynesian meal using imported ingredients from Hawai'i, and many genres of Polynesian dance, including four men's and four women's routines and one couples' dance.
Links to Home
Sierra Arlidge '12, an anthropology major, has been involved in the lu'au since her freshman year. Since then, she has choreographed, taught dances and danced herself. For the past two years, she has served as one of the entertainment chairpersons, and she says the experience has kept her tied to her home in Maui.
"Lu'au is incredibly amazing and fun," Arlidge says. "But more than that, it is close to Hawaiians' hearts and souls. It is good for Willamette students to see who is among their community, and it's good for us to share who we are with the people we live with."
The event allows students to not only experience the lu'au, but to participate. According to Arlidge, there are 30 to 90 dancers each year, and in the past, up to half of them have not been Hawai'i natives.
Annalea Brown-Clay '14, an environmental and earth science major from Kaui'i, says that moving to Oregon for college was a tough transition. But the Hawai'i Club, and especially the lu'au, allowed her to express herself in a familiar way while also making new connections with her peers.
Fostering Community
Club members say that that Willamette's event is different from traditional lu'aus in that it represents cultures across the Pacific in an utmost attempt to foster community.
This year, the team has added an element to the show. Behind-the-scenes interviews and videos will be shown to add perspective to the work and emotion that is put into the lu'au, and to remove some of the theatrics that, according to Arlidge, sometimes threaten to commodify the culture.
"We try to make everything as genuine as possible," Arlidge says. "We connect with a lot of Hawaiian organizations and with our families to acquire as many of our materials as possible from the islands."
Another authentic aspect of lu'au is the "kapu" for the participants — a week preceding the event without caffeine, refined sugars, sex, alcohol or any altering substance. Arlidge calls the kapu, which literally means "forbidden," an opportunity to focus on the importance of the task at hand. And, she adds, it inadvertently brings community to the group as they go through the process together.
The lu'au is April 16 in Cone Field House. Dinner is at 5:30 p.m., and the show beings at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now in Putnam University Center and Goudy Commons — prices differ for the public versus Willamette students and staff. Visit the Office of Multicultural Affairs website for info.

A Grimes County game room did not draw a winning hand.
Monday five people were arrested, dozens of slots machines confiscated and thousands of dollars seized.
Officials say citizen complaints led to the multi-agency investigation of Todd Mission Grill in Grimes County.
The Grimes County Sheriff's Office, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Special Investigation Unit, Grimes County District Attorney's Office and Federal Agents raided the facility in the 21000 block of FM 1774.
Authorities also busted its supplier in Spring.
"This also connects to Montgomery County locations and Harris County locations," Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell said.
Officials say five people who were tellers or managers, were arrested in Grimes County for a slew of charges including engaging in organized crime, money laundering, keeping a gambling place, possession of a gambling device and promotion of gambling.
The suspects face state and possible federal charges.
"Gambling is illegal in Texas and there is a scheme to deceive and betray an image of holiness but bottom line when they get caught, what they're doing is gambling," Sowell said.
Citizens had told police they wanted the game room shut down.
As the slot machines were wheeled away, they expressed their appreciation.
"They're glad to see it happen, they are pleased with it," Sowell said. "It's a neighborhood eye sore. I think one woman told me it damages her quality of life down here."
Concerned citizens may have hit the jackpot, but for the five behind bars, their luck is over.
The five arrested are:
Peggy Jean Huskey
Dianne Huskey Martinez
Janice Briggs
Lee Petlotz
Kenneth Gardner
This isn't the first raid in Grimes County in recent years.
In 2005, Grimes County sheriff officials lead a multi-agency raid on Yakity-Yak communications in Navasota.
Authorities seized more than 30 slot machines and close to 500-dollars cash.
The operator was arrested.

Carter is a 22 year old blonde surfer dude, born and raised right here in San Diego. He's Bi-Sexual so he enjoys the best from both worlds. He's 5' 10" tall and weighs in at about 155 lbs, with a nice 7.5" uncut dick that he LOVES to show off. Carter was ROCK hard from the moment he took off his pants, which really gets me going! Then he tells me he's up for trying anything with sex at least once, and after seeing him play with his ass, my mind was racing! I ask him what the natives to San Diego do for fun, and he said that he really likes the beach of course, but he's also a BIG sports fan, and supports all the local professional teams. Carter is a true blonde, and has a great smile. I could tell that he was a little bit nervous, but he really puts on a great show for the camera, and a HUGE cum shot from a full week of "saving up". I think you're going to see more of Carter in the future if I can sneak him away from his girlfriend!!! Enjoy!

Solutions for Today's Storage Problems!
Finding the right storage solution partner can be difficult. Companies are faced with choosing from inexperienced product resellers, biased manufacturers or expensive consulting firms. There is a better way. TriAxis offers expert advice and innovative solutions that are designed to enhance existing investments instead of replacing them.
TriAxis Storage Solutions, Inc. delivers solutions and expert advice at a reasonable cost. We complement that with a carefully assembled product portfolio that is specifically designed to reduce complexity and drive down costs in mid-market infrastructures.
Our approach is to, whenever possible and practical, enhance existing IT investments rather than replace them. But, this approach isn't for everybody. If you're willing to accept the good with the not-so-good, then going to one manufacturer is a safe bet. However, if you are looking to optimize your infrastructure with innovative products and processes that can enhance what you have — making the sum of the parts greater than the whole — then contact us.
We can demonstrate leading technologies that will give you the edge while mitigating the risk of change. Our goal is to make you successful at what you do. We've been doing this for a dozen years and we're good at it. It's what we do.
The Right Technology for Today … and Tomorrow
TriAxis Storage Solutions, Inc. is a data storage solution provider focused on the design, deployment and support of intelligent data management through its entire lifecycle — both on-premise as well as "in the cloud".
By utilizing key hardware and software solutions along with our experienced consulting resources, we are able to deliver enterprise data storage solutions that dramatically reduce storage management expenditures for your business, while improving overall service levels. Quite simply, we provide the highest Return on Investment (ROI) from every data storage dollar spent.
We provide simple, scalable, service level and policy driven enterprise data storage solutions for mid-tier organizations and Fortune 1000 data-driven departments. We have earned a reputation for exemplary client service, intelligent systems design, rapid implementation and leading industry knowledge. And we continue to do it at a price generally less than you would anticipate for the value of the solution offered.
Since we represent more than one manufacturer, and have experience with a variety of others, we can assess your organizational data storage needs and present the solution that best fits your needs. As an independent organization, we can choose which storage vendors' products to carry, and which to avoid. And we'd be happy to tell you why. Our goal is to recommend the storage solution that makes best sense for our clients — even if it is not a product we carry. In this way, our contacts become clients, and they stay with us. And we'd be honored to call you a client!
