|Effect of electrokinetic treatment on copper partitioning and distribution in mine tailings were studied. In particular the effects of catholyte enhancement by HAc-NaAc, HCl, HAc-NaAc+EDTA and lactic acid+NaOH were evaluated. The results show that conditioning the catholyte plays a very important role in improving Cu removal. When HAc-NaAc is used in the catholyte, the removal percentage of total Cu from the mine tailings sample reached 12.3% under 40 V in 15 days of treatment. The removal percentage of Cu increased to 31.2% when EDTA was used together with HAc-NaAc in the catholyte. At the same time, increasing the applied voltage and treatment time result in an increase in the Cu removal from the mine tailings. Compared with HAc-NaAc (pH=3.52), the use of lactic acid+NaOH (pH=3.15) in the catholyte resulted in better performance in Cu removal from the mine tailings. HCl treatment resulted in removal of about 17.5% of Cu from the mine tailings; however, it resulted in production of significant amounts of toxic chlorine gas. Copper partitioning in the mine tailings was analyzed before and after the electrokinetic treatments. The analysis was conducted using 0.25 mol/l MgCl2 and 0.5 mol/l HCl as extractants, consequently, to assess the mobility of Cu after treatment. The results showed that lowering the pH of the mine tailings increased the exchangeable Cu fraction (or the portion extracted by MgCl2). Accordingly, further acidification results in an increased mobility of Cu and increase in the environmental risk of mine tailings.

Focus on: Business Improvement District
Posted: January 10, 2013|
Generating support for a Business Improvement District is seen as vital to the ongoing success of Exeter city centre.The action plan unveiled by the council includes a target of holding a second ballot on the proposal this autumn – more than two years after the idea was narrowly rejected in a previous referendum.
The council is expected to spend around £15,000 on campaigning in favour of a BID covering a designated area of the city centre.
If approved by a majority of affected businesses, the proposal would see all except those with the smallest premises paying a compulsory levy, which could raise around £700,000 a year.
This money would be spent on a range of projects chosen by businesses to attract more visitors, boost the evening economy and deliver a cleaner, greener and safer city centre.

In the context of ongoing public spending cuts, establishing a BID to raise funds from the private sector is identified as a key short term goal in the council's city centre strategy.
The masterplan states: "It is clear that the squeeze on public finances will remain for the period of the strategy and beyond and that without the delivery of a Business Improvement District and the business community fully stepping up to the plate there will be significant difficulties in maintaining the positive momentum achieved in the city centre over the last decade."
According to the document, creating a BID would strengthen the city centre's competitive position, improve marketing and promotional activity and increase visitor numbers, as well as enhancing safety, security and cleansing and maintenance.
It goes on to state: "The strategy is published at the time of the most significant squeeze on the public finances in decades. Neither core strategy objectives or projects will be deliverable without a clear realignment of expenditure on city centre enhancements, promotion and marketing, maintenance and competitive positioning between local authorities and the business community. Progress on delivering a BID will be an essential step in this realignment."

Empty Heart, Empty Soul
After Shock
I hate the way you talk to me
The way you make me cry
I hate that you do not know me
Or you almost let me die
I hate the way you babied me
You wouldn't let me live
You made me do your hobbies
and mine you wouldn't give
You never let me be myself
You never game me hugs
I'm not even sure of how you feel
I'm not sure if I'm even loved
Instead of instilling courage
You made me feel afraid
Instead of me having trust in you
You've instilled a lot of rage
I hate the way you treat my son
because he's not like you
I hate your dumb excuses
I know they are not true
I hate that I'm not good enough
And never will I be
I hate how you've made me view myself
My insecurities
You taught me the world is dangerous
That I am not so strong
You taught me people all are bad
And they are always wrong
You taught me to always be afraid
To jump at everything
You taught me guilt and worst of all
You taught extreme self shame
You taught me to find my honor
by feeling all the blame
You taught me strife
You taught me grief
You gave me stress
But stole belief
You gave me life but took it back
You stole my hopes and dreams
You taught me to build a wall so high
For a feeling of false relief
You crushed the core of who I was
My heart and then my soul
For all this horror I daily lived
I must crush your toxic goals
I'm sorry it must now be this way
But this was all your choice
I have finally found a way out of hell

I'm sorry I am just now seeing this Stephanie. I'm sorry you can relate. Having to live that way is so very sad for its survivors. I hope that you have found you voice!Delete
Don't forget, whoever treated you in such a way that made you feel so bad about yourself... you do not need them in your life. They are poison and should be treated as such.
I walked away from my abuser. When I did, it gave me the strength to put a stop to all of the bullying I was enduring, from the many poisonous people I had allowed in my life. It is empowering and you will find your laugh and your smile!
Never give up!

AJ Styles to WWE
Despite the company showing more of a willingness to sign performers that have been in the industry for several years, there is still very little interest from WWE about signing AJ Styles and having him go through the NXT program. Some thought that the mentality backstage might change with the recent success of Kevin Owens, who has immediately captured the audience, but that has not been the case. Styles is said to be rather happy with New Japan.

Samoa Joe in Bullet Club
One of the big reasons why people believe that Samoa Joe is going to be heading to New Japan for a stint is the fact that he already has a good amount of friends that are working overseas. The belief is that he would be a perfect candidate to join the red hot Bullet Club stable. His character already has quite the history with AJ Styles, and the move would give him an immediate connection with the audience a good story line to work with.

Yoshi Tatsu injury
Some good news for Yoshi Tatsu. For the past ten plus weeks, he had been wearing a protective halo around his head due to injuries suffered during a match against AJ Styles in New Japan. Tatsu revealed to fans through social media that he has now been allowed to have that removed. The road to recovery is still a long one, however, as the former WWE star still has four holes in his skull. He will be inactive for much of this year.

Mr. Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to appear before the subcommittee to present the Department of the Interior's views on S. 2512, a bill to convey certain Federal properties on Governors Island in New York City. We defer to the General Services Administration on those aspects of the legislation dealing with the conveyance of the majority of Governors Island to the State of New York. On those aspects of the legislation pertaining to the National Park Service, we support enactment of this legislation if amended to address concerns outlined in this testimony.
Governors Island is a 172-acre island located in a spectacular position in the heart of New York Harbor, just off the southern tip of Manhattan. Much of the significance of this site is because of its location. The view from Governors Island of Lower Manhattan, of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Bridge, of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are extraordinary. This site conveys a sense of the entire force and expanse of Greater New York and New Jersey.
The Dutch settled the island as early as 1624, and afterward it was used for emergency housing for Protestant settlers from the Palatinate, and subsequently set aside by the governor as an early game reserve. In 1776, General George Washington established a battery there, along with batteries at other key locations in New York Harbor. Of obvious critical strategic significance to the defense of New York in the Revolutionary War and in the War of 1812, Governors Island later played an important role in the Civil War, World War I and World War II. The United States Army occupied the island until 1966. At that time it became the base of operations for the Coast Guard's Atlantic Area Command and Maintenance and Logistics Command, Atlantic. In 1997 the Coast Guard ceased operations on Governors Island.
Over the years Governors Island served as a backdrop for many history-making events, including the relighting of the Statue of Liberty in 1986, the U.S.-U.S.S.R. summit in 1988, and United Nations sponsored talks to restore democratic rule to Haiti in 1993.
S. 2512, the "Governors Island Preservation Act of 2000," would do two things. First, it would establish a new unit of the National Park System to be known as Governors Island National Monument. The national monument would consist of two historic forts, Fort Jay and Castle Williams, and the land between the two forts. This area would remain Federal property, and administrative jurisdiction would be transferred to the Secretary of the Interior 180 days after enactment of this Act.
Second, the bill would convey, notwithstanding Section 9101 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the remainder of the island to the State of New York for no consideration. The Governors Island Redevelopment Corporation, a subsidiary of the Empire State Development Corporation, would administer the land conveyed to the State of New York. The conveyance would be subject to various terms and conditions imposed through the Act as well as other federal laws.
Castle Williams and Fort Jay, the dominant features of the proposed Governors Island National Monument, are contributing features within the larger Governors Island National Historic Landmark District. The National Historic Landmark District was designated by the Secretary of the Interior in 1985. Fort Jay and Castle Williams were erected over a fifteen-year period (c. 1796-1811) as part of the First and Second American Systems of Coastal Fortification. Both retain a high degree of historical integrity and offer an excellent look at the two major types of defense structures built and in use from the Renaissance to the Civil War.
Fort Jay, a classic, four-bastion fortification, was first constructed in the 1790's and later rebuilt in masonry and expanded between 1806-09. A distinctive feature of the fort is the quadrangle of colonnaded Greek Revival-style barracks that was built on the interior in the 1830s. Fort Jay represents the end of a three hundred-year tradition of bastion fortifications. Its low-profile design was intended to present as little wall as possible to enemy fire. The predominantly open landscape around the fort is a key element to the fort's significance because it retains a sense of how the fort appeared when originally constructed. Fort Jay has been well maintained and is one of the best examples of its kind in the country.
Castle Williams, built between 1807 and 1811, was the prototype in this country for a harbor-oriented defense that could present as much concentrated firepower as possible. In stark contrast to Fort Jay, the walls of Castle Williams are high and fully exposed, a form reminiscent of a medieval castle. The exterior of Castle Williams is unchanged, but its interior contains extensive modifications associated with its later use as an army prison. Its integrity as a fortification remains high and its solid eight-foot thick masonry walls rendered it virtually indestructible. Castle Williams is considered by certain scholars to be the finest and most important example of its type in American coastal fortifications.
These fortifications were designed as an integral part of a system of harbor defenses that eventually extended twenty miles out to Forts Hancock, Tilden and Lewis at the opening to the bay and Lower New York Harbor. In the early 19th century, Forts Hamilton, Thompkins, and Wadsworth at the Verrazano Narrows defended the entrance to the inner harbor from the south while Forts Totten and Schuyler were intended to defend the northern entrance from Long Island Sound. Castle Williams and its counterpart on Manhattan, Castle Clinton, offered the primary firepower in defending the inner harbor. Eventually, these fortifications were overshadowed by later installations further out as the range of guns increased. While the individual defensive structures of the New York harbor system have intrinsic merit, it is their relationship to one another, both geographically and temporally, that is most significant.
The National Park Service manages a majority of these decommissioned military installations and fortifications, including Castle Clinton on the southern tip of Manhattan and Fort Wood on Liberty Island, now the base of the Statue of Liberty. Gateway National Recreation Area includes key portions of Fort Wadsworth at the Verrazano Narrows and Forts Tilden and Hancock at the entrance to New York Harbor. The fortifications on Governors Island were an integral component of this network and historically were the geographic and administrative center of New York Harbor's defenses.
The subcommittee is aware that Governors Island was included on the February 11, 2000, list that was submitted to Congress of areas recommended for study for potential inclusion to the National Park System. This list was prepared in compliance with Section 303 of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998 (Omnibus Act). While a special resources study has not been prepared, a significant amount of work has been accomplished that examines a number of the issues found in such a study. The General Services Administration (GSA) completed a land use study and conducted a comprehensive public review, and there was widespread public testimony favoring park establishment and preservation of historic resources. GSA also completed an environmental impact statement. The National Park Service undertook a reconnaissance study in 1996, as a situation report and a review of alternatives, but without public or policy review. That study indicated that the resources of the island had the necessary significance and suitability to support a recommendation for inclusion in the National Park System. However, in considering National Park Service operation of the entire island, or even the national historic landmark district, the study concluded that it was not feasible to add Governors Island to the National Park System. The issue of establishing a smaller national monument, as proposed in S. 2512, was not addressed in the 1996 report. However, establishing a national monument comprised of the two main contributing features of the Governors Island National Historic Landmark District would satisfactorily address the feasibility issue.
With the issue of resolving the disposition of Governors Island before the committee, we can complete the requirements for the study in relatively short order. The bill before us requires the transfer of administrative jurisdiction from GSA to the National Park Service within 180 days of enactment. Since the GSA study and the NPS reconnaissance study constitute much of what is needed toward meeting the study requirement, the Park Service could utilize the 180 day period to clarify issues such as development costs, operational costs, and partnership needs. We recommend the bill be amended to provide for the establishment of Governors Island National Monument upon a finding by the Secretary that the criteria of significance, suitability and feasibility have been satisfied.
The more significant aspect of S. 2512 is the conveyance of the majority of Governors Island to the State of New York. The State would have the primary responsibility for the island's redevelopment, operation and maintenance. We defer to the General Services Administration on those aspects of this legislation. We would like to bring to the Subcommittee's attention, however, that the U.S. Coast Guard maintains aids to navigation (i.e, land-based lights) on Governors Island and on the ferry piers, and recommends that the bill be amended to specifically reserve easements to allow continued Coast Guard access for maintenance and operational purposes.
We also believe that it is appropriate for the National Park Service to play a role in the interpretation of the larger Governors Island National Historic Landmark District. For more than 200 years Governors Island has been closed to the public. The plan that the State of New York is proposing will open the island for public use and enjoyment. Governors Island's history is not just that of the defenses of New York but of the development of our nation. The National Park Service is charged with protecting and interpreting our nation's heritage for the American people. As Governors Island becomes available to the American people it is appropriate that the island's history and heritage are interpreted and preserved and that the National Park Service play a role in telling its history. We recommend an amendment that authorizes the NPS to mark and provide appropriate interpretive services in the larger Governors Island National Historic Landmark District.
As stated previously we have some minor concerns with certain elements of the bill. Section 4 establishes the Governors Island National Monument. In Section 4(b) the composition of the national monument is discussed and includes a map reference. We are in the process of finalizing the map. The description of the monument basically includes the fortifications and the land between them. The National Park Service has a need for another structure or structures that would provide for administrative and support facilities. We recommend amending the bill to authorize the National Park Service to enter into an agreement with the State of New York to accept, at no cost to the NPS, appropriate facilities within close proximity, that would support the mission of the national monument. We also recommend that the cooperative agreement language be broadened to authorize the NPS to enter into agreements with the corporation as well as other interested entities and individuals to provide for the preservation and interpretation of the monument. Finally, the Department of Transportation recommends that section 4(d)(1) be amended to authorize the reservation of easements for the Secretary to Monument and the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard to operate and maintain navigation aids.
Governors Island is a national treasure and its disposition should be carefully considered. S. 2512, if amended to address our concerns, would provide the National Park Service the authority and resources to work with the State of New York to ensure that the island remains a treasure for all the American people. We would be pleased to work with the subcommittee on recommended language.
This completes my statement, I will be happy to answer any questions the committee may have regarding this matter.

Respite At 60By William Kleiser
Published: February/March 2013
Respite: 1) A period of rest and recuperation, an interlude. 2) The name of our family boat for the past 60 years .
A Tradition Endures
My parents enjoyed the boat from its launch until the last year of their lives, when they were in their 90s. When I was young, there was always a group of people aboard: my parents, three sons, and a parade of visitors. Eventually it became mainly the two of them cruising, with visitors coming and going. I introduced my wife-to-be to Respite in 1986. Then, as our children were born, they also became regular passengers. My father had to, with some grumbling, install baby gates around the vessel to contain the small ones. I knew he'd done it before because I could recall the gates that had contained me on the boat.
After my parents passed on, Respite did not, like so many other boats, sit unused. Of course, the amount of time she spends out of port has been reduced, as we can no longer spend the entire summer aboard. Voyages are two to three weeks now, but we pack a lot into those weeks. Two years ago we made the run to Desolation Sound. As we entered Grace Harbor in Malaspina Inlet, a wrecked pleasure boat was being removed. Someone's dream burned to the waterline while the family was ashore because a laptop computer overheated. I've found that there's always something new to be learned around boats, even after 54 years on them.
Today's Third Generation
The summer of 2012 marked Respite's 60th anniversary as our family's cruiser. She's on her third generation of the family now. My children who, as I, were babies on Respite are now adults who have also come to love the boat and our summers on it. Summers on Respite return us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, not the least because Respite moves mainly at a leisurely seven knots.
The deckhouse with table set for dinner.
Last summer found Respite plying the waters of the San Juan and Gulf Islands once again, with our 19-year-old son acting as pilot while we filled in the role of the "old folks." We stayed "close to home" this time, focusing on old favorites in the Gulf Islands. Only three of us were aboard this year; our oldest now entering the workforce was unable to come, but requested daily updates so she could be here in spirit.
An overheard comment while walking up the dock at the Newcastle Island Provincial Park in Nanaimo, British Columbia, sums up Respite best. I heard an older man remark to his companion: "I quite like that older one." His companion replied, "Yes, it's very classic." I turned around and looked at the harbor expecting to see a classic yacht that perhaps I'd missed. There was only one old vessel lying in the anchorage, Respite. She's settled into old age gracefully. She's been a fixture on Pacific Northwest waters for 60 years, and is looking forward to many more. So, if you see her and wonder if it's the same family as when you saw her years ago, the answer is yes.
Bill and his wife Nancy have two grown children and live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bill has been cruising the Pacific Northwest since childhood. They currently own Respite as well as a 21-foot Wellcraft they use on Lake Tahoe. They cruise the Canadian Gulf Islands several weeks per year.

Bill to increase oversight of public trustees passes committee
Compromise retains appointments by Guv
The Colorado Statesman
A bill aimed at increased oversight over public trustees in Colorado was dramatically altered on Monday to retain the state's governor-appointed public trustees, but would still require more local and state oversight over how they conduct operations.
House Bill 1329, sponsored by Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, would give county commissioners more control over the budgets of public trustees, and would require a biannual state audit of public trustees appointed by the governor, requiring the use of state procurement codes, which require a comprehensive bidding process for all purchases and services worth $20,000 or more.
The House Local Government Committee on Monday backed the proposal by a unanimous vote.
In its original form, the bill would have turned the duties of appointed public trustees over to elected county treasurers in certain counties, potentially putting into jeopardy the jobs of 10 public trustees in the state appointed by the governor. The bill was immediately focused on Weld, El Paso, Mesa and Douglas counties, as those counties had expressed an interest in opting into the proposed guidelines.
But Scott offered an amendment on Monday before the House Local Government Committee that would retain those gubernatorial-appointed positions. The motion came after Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, brokered a compromise with stakeholders to allow for the positions to remain while still aiming to increase oversight. Pabon, who is not a member of the House Local Government Committee and was not an original sponsor of the legislation, said he felt compelled to work on a compromise, noting that everyone is a "little unhappy." The compromise involved the governor's office, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, public trustees, county commissioners, and several other stakeholders.
"This has been a diligent process making sure that all stakeholders are spoken with," Pabon testified. "As you know, and as we all know, this is a legislative process. Did everyone get everything they could have possibly wanted out of this? Probably not. But this is the compromise."
Scott offered similar comments, stating, "We came together and made some decisions on what made the best sense for public policy going forward."
Concerns arose over the 100-year-old system when issues over costs and spending popped up between appointed trustees and county commissioners. In Weld, Mesa, El Paso, Douglas, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Boulder, Pueblo, Adams and Larimer counties, public trustees are appointed by the governor. The state's two other largest counties, Denver and Broomfield, have unique systems. In Denver, the post is held by the elected clerk and recorder, who appoints a deputy to run the trustee office. In Broomfield, the trustee is appointed by the City Council.
Elected treasurers in the other 52 counties also serve as the public trustee, as is required by Colorado law.
Critics of the appointed trustee process point out that the appointed trustees are only required to provide annual reports of their activity to the governor's office, with few details other than reporting of the number of foreclosures and transfers of deeds of trust. Quarterly reports are submitted to county officials, but few additional details are offered. County commissioners believe those reports should at the very least include a listing of expenditures.
El Paso County Commissioner Peggy Littleton, a Republican and a vocal proponent of ending the gubernatorial appointments and increasing oversight, said the compromise was only "better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick." She would rather eliminate the gubernatorial appointments, but more importantly, Littleton would like the commissioners themselves to have audit control.
"If we're going to allow county commissioners to have oversight over the budget, then we should have audit control as well," she said. "We have oversight over the budget, the counties should be able to audit how those budgets are expended."
By law, public trustees' budgets are paid for through fees collected from foreclosure attorneys and banks. The counties receive any surplus revenue the trustees collect as a result of those fees. Excess revenues have been valued as high as $1 million or more.
Highlighting the issue is a recent skirmish between Mesa County commissioners and Public Trustee Paul Brown over private office space rented by Brown. He first rejected a demand that he move his trustee operations into empty county office space to save money, but later backed down and agreed to move. Brown spent about $28,000 last year on rent and other office expenses related to the private office space.
He explained that when he took over as public trustee, the private office space had already been rented. That being said, Brown is working on a plan to move into county office space.
Brown said he is pleased with the compromise in the sense that it preserves his $72,000 per year job, adding tongue-in-cheek, "Needless to say, the amendment eliminated the provision for firing me, so that's nice."
Brown has no objections with the current version of the bill, but he doesn't believe it would do much, noting that appointed trustees are already required to present budgets to county commissioners.
"I just don't see that it's that big of a deal, we're audited every year," said Brown.
Also offering a neutral position was Patty Bartlett, Logan County treasurer and public trustee, and president of the Colorado Public Trustee Association.
"The Public Trustee Association has taken a neutral stance on this bill," she said. "Until it's either approved or it dies, we probably won't have any comment."

To many travelers Alaska remains a land of mystery, and that is a shame. Sure, many parts are rugged, barely accessible and nothing seems to be near anything else. Seeing Alaska by car or train will require a significant amount of time; however, the cruise lines have an answer for you. From majestic Mt. McKinley to the jagged edge of Glacier Bay, Alaska is unlike any place else in the world. One of the best (if not the best) to explore all Alaska's offerings than with a cruise coupled with a cruise-tour.

If the North Kingstown and East Greenwich girls lacrosse teams are going to play every game like they did Friday when the two squads faced off then it should be a great season for area lax.
The Skippers and Avengers played about as entertaining of game as you'll see all season – let alone in April – as EG escaped with a thrilling 13-12 victory.
"We came into this game knowing it was going to be one of our toughest matches of the year," EG senior Marielle Kraft said. "We never underestimate any team but NK has been our rival for so many years and to come out with the first that we did was such a sight."
North trailed 9-5 midway through the second half when a three-goal flurry in a little over two minutes of game time to make it close and NK finally tied the game at 11-all on a score from Kelsey Kraven with 2:27 left to play.
Kraft then broke the tie a few moments later but with 39 seconds to go NK junior Kelsey Freidman once again knotted the score at 12 apiece.
Kraft – who scored five goals in the game – and the Avengers would not be denied though as the senior netted the game-winner with just 23 seconds left to play.
"It was an exciting game," Kraft said. "It seems to always be the pattern with North Kingstown games [where] we usually get up and they always call timeout and come back and even the game out.
"For us to come in and even the game out and keep our composure and to keep the intensity was really our plan for this game."
After the game one thing became abundantly clear; each team can score in a hurry.
Midway through the second half the Skippers looked out of it but thanks to their sudden burst of goals found themselves right back in the thick of the game.
Each time North went on a run, however, EG always had the answer as Kraft scored four of her five goals after intermission.
"These guys know what they have to do," EG coach Karen Lemont said. "They have tremendous intensity and maintaining that intensity is the key."
Junior Carolyn Cruise also had a strong day for the Avengers with three goals, sophomore Alea Robinson and senior Roxanne Comito had two each and junior Sara Beaulieu scored once.
As for the Skippers, junior Finley Kincaid proved to be every bit Kraft's equal in the scoring department and finished the game with seven goals.
Senior Alexandra Poirier netted four scores of her own, junior Kelsey Friedmann finished with three goals and juniors Margot Jansen, Jodie Wadovick and sophomore Ansley Ostiguy poured in one apiece.
So far the Avengers are off to a Division I-South leading 3-0 with an April 2 win over Cranston West and a 12-5 win over Prout Monday.
East Greenwich now has an extended break in its schedule as its next game will be Tuesday at 6 p.m. when it hosts South Kingstown.
As for the Skippers – who opened the season with an April 2 victory over SK – they will be back in action today at 6:30 p.m. when it hosts Cranston West.

|Effect of corrosion on the strength of soldered titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9002859 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Finding an optimal soldering system for a titanium prosthesis has become increasingly important with the successful introduction of titanium and titanium alloys to dentistry. This study examined the effect of corrosion on the strength of the soldered joints of pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloys joined using various solders. METHODS: Commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy rods (2 mm in diameter; 25 mm long) were soldered in an argon atmosphere using four solders: two kinds of titanium-based solder, a gold-based solder, and a silver-based solder. Tensile strengths were examined before or after immersion treatments. Specimens were immersed in either a 0.9% NaCl or 1.0% lactic acid solution held at 35 degrees C for 3 and 8 wk. The amounts of various metal elements released were determined by atomic absorption photospectroscopy. The natural potentials and potentiodynamic polarization behavior of the soldered specimens in 0.9% NaCl or 1.0% lactic acid were determined by a computer-assisted corrosion measurement system. The results were analyzed by ANOVA and Student's t-test. RESULTS: The cp-titanium and Ti-6Al-4V samples soldered with titanium-based solders exhibited tensile strengths of 300-400 MPa and were not significantly affected by immersion in either solution (no significant difference at p < 0.05). The strengths of both the cp-titanium and titanium alloy specimens soldered with gold-based solder were significantly lower than for any of the other specimens and were affected by immersion in the 0.9% NaCl solution (p < 0.01). The cp-titanium and Ti-6Al-4V specimens that were soldered with titanium-based solders did not show any transpassive regions or breakdown in the natural electrode potential range. On the contrary, the specimens soldered with gold-based and silver-based solders showed transpassive regions or breakdown potentials at less than 0 mV in 0.9% NaCl solution. SIGNIFICANCE: It is recommended that titanium-based solder be employed for titanium and titanium alloys.

a sermon by Luann Yutzy, 2006 EMS graduate
Location: Lindale Mennonite Church
Date: January 9, 2005
Scripture: Mark 5:21-43, parallel to Luke 8:40-56
Listen online: http://lindale.org/info/sermons.asp
I have missed out on a lot of life. I was a pretty good basketball player when I was younger. I was one of those small, quick ones. I played in 7 th grade and started to play my 8 th grade year, but it was a different coach that year and I was kind of afraid of him, so I quit. My freshman year I wasn't even going to try. The high school coach came and asked me to consider playing, but I didn't feel comfortable with that coach either and I was afraid. "What if I turned out to be a really good basketball player, I mean really good?" That was too scary to think about. So I didn't play again, even though I spent hours playing basketball at home in our haymow.
Fear was a big part of my life and I let it cripple me. I didn't want to play at piano recitals so I mostly taught myself to play piano. I was one of those kids who, when assigned an oral report, was nauseous for weeks until it was all over. I wasn't able to get out of doing those. I didn't go to camp when all the other eighth graders did and I didn't go to Quebec with my French class, even though I really wanted to see Quebec.
Believe it or not, I did take risks. I climbed trees and walked on barn roofs and climbed high on grain bins just to see the view. I loved to see far. I had a favorite spot on the peak of the farmhouse I grew up in and there I would sit with a book and the view. Maybe I felt more free up there, I don't know.
I spent a lot of my life hiding, hiding with my fears. I was very good at hiding. I was good at hiding from myself.
We have two stories in the passage from Mark 5 today. We find Jesus close to the Sea of Galilee in a Jewish community surrounded again by crowds of people. First we meet Jarius, a prominent Jewish man, a synagogue leader. He begs for Jesus to come and heal his dying twelve-year-old daughter. In verse 23, he says, "Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live." Made well. To be healed. Of course, Jarius wanted his daughter to be healed. Wouldn't all of us ask the very same thing for our child or someone we love? Jesus responds by going with Jarius. But then Mark lets us witness an interruption in this story. We're hoping Jesus will get to Jarius' daughter in time and then Jesus gets sidetracked. Jesus stops and asks an absurd question. Amidst the pressing crowd, Jesus suddenly asks, "Who touched me?" The disciples must have thought Jesus was acting a little strangely. Everyone was touching everyone; it was a crowd of people!
But somewhere in that crowd was a woman. A woman who had been an outcast because of a bleeding she had for twelve years that wouldn't stop. Jewish laws considered her unclean and unfit to attend services or other ceremonies. Her money had been spent on doctors who couldn't cure her of this shameful hemorrhaging. She was a desperate woman and somehow she had mustered up the courage to venture out in the crowds to reach Jesus, the amazing man she had heard about. She may have waited for hours before she felt she could move closer, taking the risk of making everyone around her unclean her touch , as she pushed through to be next to Jesus. This may have seemed like her last chance because Jesus was needed desperately somewhere else to heal a dying little girl. With all the faith she had she reached out behind Jesus and touched his garment. And instantly, she was healed!! This is when Jesus asks, "Who touched me?"
It isn't that he didn't know the woman and her condition or the healing that took place. Jesus wanted to heal much more than her bleeding. He wanted her to be whole-physically, emotionally and spiritually. Jesus met the woman where she was in her faith. It was probably all she could do to go out in public and try to reach Jesus, but she had faith and Jesus met her needs. But, he wanted so much more for her, more than she could even possibly imagine. Jesus wanted her to experience an inner healing, that included being loved, accepted and affirmed for who she was — a child of God, a beloved child of God. With this kind of healing she could be free to be who God hoped for her to be, free from the prison her community had kept her in, free from her own perception of herself — an unclean woman who couldn't freely glorify God with her gifts.
When she comes to Jesus in fear and trembling and tells him her story, Jesus says in verse 34, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease." Made you well, healed, being made whole. Jesus didn't ostracize her; instead he called her "Daughter," a very intimate and loving name.
I have a similar journey to healing and wholeness. I have always thought a lot about God. Even as a very young child I asked questions about eternity and how God began. After high school, I didn't go to college, that would have meant stepping out of the only world I knew. I didn't really know what I wanted to do anyway. Not once was I shoulder tapped to consider ministry for my future. How could I have even known that was what my passion was?
So, I married and stayed on our home farm and raised a family.
This all took place in a Conservative Mennonite community that had rules about a woman's place and accepted roles she could have. A woman couldn't have a position leading men that gave her authority in spiritual matters. I knew this and I didn't really fight it, although it became another thing for me to hide behind. Only through my husband's position could I be on leadership teams, where vision and spiritual guidance of the church were discussed.
Sometimes I think God uses life as divine revelation. With God's prompting, we found ourselves on our way to Hesston, Kansas in 2000, for my husband to attend the Pastoral Ministry program. There in a land that most people try to avoid, my soul was released as I drank in the space and sky (you can see far in Kansas). My heart responded to the free spirit and the love of the people.
In Kansas, I began to see a whole new world. Freedom was stirring within me as I watched women teaching and preaching and attending pastoral ministry classes. I still didn't claim that freedom for myself, but the winds were changing.
In our two years in Hesston, I felt loved by so many people without the conditions or prescribed roles I had grown up with. I wasn't even related to these people and they loved me for who I was. For the first time I realized what being God's "Beloved" meant. My healing began with the overwhelming love I was finally able to see and accept from God. That's the love the woman in our passage today must have felt when Jesus stopped on his way to an important task, looked her in the eyes and called her, "Daughter".
We left Kansas and entered my husband's pastoral position in Ohio. It wasn't long before I realized I was again in the barriers that had once bound me. Women could not have titles in this church and I would only be the pastor's spouse, not even enjoying the unhealthy liberties our former church had given to pastor's spouses earlier in my life. I knew I had hit a brick wall and there was no place to hide. I knew now that God had given me gifts in leadership and ministry and I had to decide to be faithful to God with my gifts. This was the moment my soul had been longing for and God had been preparing me for.
It turned out to be a dark and painful birthing process with many spectators along the way. Our overseers suggested an open-ended interim which was a gift to me to pay attention to the changes that were happening within me. I was tired of hiding. I had glimpsed freedom in Kansas and that's what I really wanted. This is when I needed help; I started the hard work of counseling and I had to be painfully honest with a disappointed congregation.
As I accepted God's immense love for me, and embraced the woman that had been hidden inside of me, the words of the men in my upbringing of describing women in leadership as "women with an agenda who should be put in their place" receded into the background. That was the healing which started with my journey to Kansas and then to the birthing of a call; a call that wants me to let go of being afraid of becoming who God hopes for me to be. This is a call I could see when I realized that I was a beloved child of God. I still deal with fears, but I have experienced grace and I want to respond with my life, helping others be aware of God's love and the call God has for them.
The healing process continues. I find it difficult to return to my home community now. I feel a lot of silence and confusion from people about who I am becoming and what I am pursuing. But God provides others who walk with me. You may not realize it, but you are a part of my journey towards wholeness. By being a congregation that allows a woman to do an internship and bring a message on Sunday morning, you are helping in my healing process and I thank you.
I didn't share part of my story just to encourage women in leadership, but to show how Jesus was for the person, whether they were women, men, children, outcasts, demon-possessed, blind, rich, and poor. Jesus hopes for us and wants us to experience healing and wholeness.
Jesus takes time for what's important. He took time for an unclean woman even as he was hurrying to an important task for Jarius, an important man. It's also a reminder to us about taking time for people in our busy schedules. Those little tugs we feel on our arms or the phone call from someone in a crisis just when we were getting some work done could be opportunities for us to be an example of Jesus' healing touch. What if we would stop and really listen to someone when they talk to us or give up our lunchtime to help someone in need? A teacher once remarked, "You know…my whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work." PAUSE Jesus stopped and gave the woman a personal touch and blessing even when other things were calling him.
We don't know how Jarius felt during this interruption. While waiting on Jesus, he may have seen all his dreams for his daughter flash before his eyes. Parents have hopes and dreams for their children: to have friends, to find meaningful jobs, to be happy and healthy and follow God. Jarius may have remembered the way his daughter laughed when he tickled her or the first steps she took as a toddler. His hopes and dreams came crashing to the ground when people from his home rushed to tell him his daughter was already dead. If only Jesus could have gotten there sooner! Jesus turns to Jarius in verse 36 and says "Do not fear, only believe." This is an extreme case, but how many times do we let our fears choke out our belief? A lot of us fear the future and what it holds for us. Our country lives in a state of fear especially since 9/11. Jesus is inviting us to be whole, living expectantly, believing that God is working in our world and in our future.
Jarius had shown great faith by asking for Jesus to heal his daughter who was at the point of death. It isn't the quantity of faith that we have that determines the kind of healing. His daughter had died while Jesus was on his way to her. Where was the hope in that situation? It is never too late for Jesus. In this case, the healing Jesus brought to Jarius' daughter was restoration of life. In verses 41 and 42, he gave her life again, "Little girl, get up." And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about.
I had my first close encounter with death when I was in third grade. I never really knew what was wrong with my friend. He wasn't my closest friend, but he went to my school and he went to my church. I watched when he was made fun of because he couldn't run as long as the rest of us. I noticed his face turned blue when he ran and his veins showed through his thin skin on his skinny arms. He did his work just like the rest of us. He had a family to go home to at the end of the day just like everyone else. One morning his seat was empty. PAUSE I didn't know he would die in the middle of third grade on an operating table in an attempt to heal the hole in his heart. Where was the healing and hope? PAUSE
God will heal in ways we may not think of. Healing may continue even after death. What we do know is Jesus will meet us where we are if we will just reach out and acknowledge our need to be healed. It is never too late for Jesus. He will heal us in ways we never knew we needed healing.
Being made well and a journey to wholeness is an ongoing process. The crowds longed for healing. We too long to be whole. Sometimes it takes a community to work towards wholeness. We can be agents of healing for others even as we recognize our own healing process.
We can often learn from the children around us. Not too long ago when I was in the grocery store, I noticed a woman roughly rebuking her little girl as she waited in line. Any of us could have been that woman. We have all said harsh words. But this little girl was devastated. Later, as I left the store I saw the little girl sitting on a bench being held tenderly by her older sister. The older sister was gently rocking the sobbing little girl who wasn't much younger than she was. PAUSE We can be a part of the healing process of others. A couple chapters back in Mark 2, we find a community effort of healing when four friends brought a paralyzed man to Jesus, lowering him through the roof, knowing that he couldn't do it on his own.
Each contact we have with another person is an opportunity for healing and hope. If you were the only person someone met today, would they have experienced Jesus' healing touch through you? PAUSE We can be people of healing and hope. Be observant and pray that you will notice pain and suffering within you and around you and let others experience healing and hope through you.
Where are you in the crowd that is following Jesus? Are you up close trying to catch Jesus' eye? Or are you lingering in the back of the crowd watching very carefully, trying to get the courage to reach Jesus in spite of what others think of you or what you think of you? PAUSE
What part of your story would you like to bring to Jesus and touch his garment and be healed? PAUSE
And then can you stand before Christ honestly revealing your need for wholeness, that deep inner healing that brings peace? PAUSE
What part of you has been dying that needs to be restored to life? PAUSE
If you have gotten to a point in your life that seems beyond all hope, remember that Jesus didn't leave a seemingly hopeless situation hopeless. He brought healing, wholeness and hope. Do not fear, only believe and Jesus will bring the healing you need. I am living proof that Jesus heals in ways we would never dream of. When seminary was first mentioned to me, I turned that person off right away. But a year later, I was a student at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. I have been healed and continue to be healed and it's all because of Jesus Christ, Jesus, the Healer. My healing began with the love of Jesus. You are a beloved child of God. You are loved just as you are. Tell that to yourself everyday, every hour, every minute that Jesus Christ loves you more than you can even imagine. That's when the healing will begin. Let's pray.
Thank-you, God that you let us know who you are through your Son, Jesus, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Help us to remember how much you love us and want us to be hopeful people who are expectant, having faith that Jesus will heal all areas of our lives, leading us on towards wholeness. And in our healing, help us to release others to be healed. Help us to not keep them outside the circle, making it hard for them to reach Jesus. For Lindale, God, I pray that healing would take place within our hearts and would extend to the community, so that others would know your love for them. Give us faith, God. In the precious name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Tyson Anthony Roberts combines a love of art and biology into deceptively simplistic paintings. This Seattle based artist states, "Landscape painting provides an array of environments and familiar imagery to work with as a starting point."
"From here, elements of abstract expressionism, color field painting and spontaneity are merged to form rural and urban scenes that appear to be in constant transition, taking the viewer from what was to what may be," continues Roberts. "It is through this idea of continual movement by which my work suggests that the places we know are always changing whether we are ready or not."

Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) has been through a lot recently and lost a considerable value due to some concerns about the debt. In the most recent earnings announcement, the management indicated that assets sales could be delayed. The company is trying to raise cash by selling assets to pay off some of the outstanding debt. Chesapeake stock is beaten down badly at the moment by the bears, which I believe presents a great opportunity to long term investors.
It is true that there have been concerns about the corporate governance of the company, and it can certainly not be called a champion of corporate governance. However, necessary steps have been taken, and the company is moving in the right direction. There have been some significant events since the earnings announcement. Let's take a look at those events and their expected impact on the stock.
Betting on a Colder Winter:
According to the reports, Chesapeake is going to go into the winter without hedging its position against the commodity prices. At the time, when most of its competitors are establishing hedges to safeguard them against the volatile commodity prices; it can be a massive risk. According to the reports, the CEO Aubrey McClendon is expecting the cold winter to drive natural gas demand. As a result, the gas prices will show a significant recovery. On the other hand, if the bet pays off, it can prove to be an excellent decision. There are mutterings of a colder winter as compared to the previous year, which has caused the gas prices to rally. There are still fears that new pipelines will result in increased supply. Record high storage and increased supply can cause the gas prices to remain low.
In a previous article, we discussed the situation of oversupply, and how leasing system in the country pushes the participants. According to the lease agreement, the companies have to drill quickly or surrender the drilling rights. This is exactly what is happening in the sector. At Eagle Ford Shale, most of the companies are drilling gas wells just to meet the lease obligations. At a time when the sector is already facing a problem of oversupply, these lease agreements are not helping these companies. However, most analysts believe that the colder winter will have a bigger impact than an increase in the supply, resulting increased prices.
Increased Investment from the Big Boys:
Big investors are currently increasing their stakes in the company. Certainly, they see some value in stock at current prices. Carl Icahn increased his stake in the company to 9% from 7.5%. The main reason behind the recent slump in stock price was the fears about the debt and delay in asset sales. A delay in asset sales was expected due to the market conditions. However, it will not be long before the company sells its assets earmarked for sale and bring down its debt. The fall in price gave a great opportunity to these big boys to increase their stakes in the company. Carl Icahn has now spent $951 million building his stake in the company, and he remains the second largest shareholder.
Further, hedge funds are also loading up on Chesapeake stocks. Mohnish Pabrai, a hedge fund manager, recently increased Chesapeake stocks in his portfolio. At the moment, about 20% of the total value of his fund is invested in Chesapeake, behind only Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Citi Group (NYSE:C). I agree with these big boys, and believe that the fall in Chesapeake share price in temporary and it will recover in the medium and long-term.
Comparison with Peers:
Chesapeake peers include Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:DVN), EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG) and Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM).
Forward P/E
EPS Growth
Operating Margin
Net Margin
Debt to Equity
Source: Morningstar.com
The comparison shows that the stock is trading at a premium compared to Devon and Exxon Mobil based on forward P/E. However, the stock beats all of its competitors on P/B and P/S ratios. In addition, the company has the highest EPS growth rate among its peers. However, margins and the debt to equity ratio for Chesapeake do not paint a pretty picture.
I believe the market has been slightly harsh to the company, and the decline in price is temporary. Chesapeake will soon sell some of its natural gas assets and reduce its debt, which will push up the price. Furthermore, an increase in demand during the colder winter will drive up natural gas prices. Chesapeake has also turned its focus to liquids, which will provide its revenues more stability. Overall, position of the company is improving, and the coming year should be good for Chesapeake. I expect the stock to remain low in the short term and recover in the medium to long-term.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Apollyon Rising 2012 Hour 1 Part 1 Thomas Horn
- Uploaded by Extraett on Feb 13, 2012
- Views: 419
December 20, 2011
Tom Horn is an author, researcher and co-host of the radio show Raiders Live! News Talk Radio. Raiders News Update reports have been referred to by writers of the L.A. Times Syndicate, MSNBC, Christianity Today, World Net Daily, White House Correspondents and dozens of newsmagazines and press agencies around the globe. Tom will discuss his book Apollyon Rising. He'll share the secrets of the true Lost Symbol (what Dan Brown was looking for and did not find), the forbidden knowledge of the Vatican and Washington DC, and the two-hundred year old cipher hidden in plain site at the Capitol Dome and on the Great Seal of the United States. He'll explain how 2012 connects to an ancient cosmic conspiracy. 2012 is an important year not only to the founders of America but for various cultures on the planet. Then, we talk about the final pope, the messiah's arrival and the anti-Christ. We discuss Malachi Martin's testimony of Freemasonic and Satanic ties to the Catholic Church and how Vatican insiders are in the know about the anti-Christ and 2012.
December 20, 2011
In the second hour, Tom speaks more about Malachi Martin's knowledge of Freemasonic and Satanic activity in the Vatican. Tom talks about how the false prophet, Pope Petrus Romanus will give rise to the anti-Christ. We'll discuss the awareness behind the design and layout of the Great Seal and the art inside the Capitol Dome. We discuss the Masonic knowledge of the prophecy concerning the return of the gods in 2012. There is a hidden occult hand committed to fulfilling a prophecy and guiding us toward a secret destiny. We'll talk about the Masonic desire to resurrect Osiris and birth a new breed. This is when a prophecy encoded on the Great Seal about the return of Osiris/Apollo may be fulfilled, and a new pagan age begins. Tom says it's as though we're following or repeating the story of the Watchers.

|The umbilical coiling index in complicated pregnancy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16513244 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To evaluate umbilical cord coiling in pregnancies with adverse outcome. STUDY DESIGN: Umbilical cords and hospital records of 565 consecutive cases with an indication for histological examination of the placenta were studied. The umbilical coiling index (UCI) was determined as the number of complete coils divided by the length of the cord in centimeters, by an observer blinded for pregnancy outcome. Data on obstetric history and pregnancy outcome of each case were obtained from the hospital records. We calculated odds ratios and their 95% confidence interval to evaluate the strength of associations between pregnancy outcome and abnormal cord coiling. RESULTS: Fetal death (OR 4.09, 95% CI 2.22-7.55), chorioamnionitis (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.09-2.88), fetal structural or chromosomal abnormalities (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.08-2.95), and lower Apgar score at 5 min (p=0.03) were associated with undercoiling (UCI below the 10th percentile, using reference values from uncomplicated pregnancies). Fetal death (OR 3.74, 95% CI 1.89-7.40), iatrogenic preterm delivery (OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.04-3.49), umbilical arterial pH<7.05 (OR 3.63, 95% CI 1.44-9.17), fetal structural or chromosomal abnormalities (OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.01-3.16), thrombosis in fetal placental vessels (OR 2.64, 95% CI 1.37-5.06), chronic fetal hypoxia/ischemia (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.09-3.05), and lower weight for gestational age (p=0.01) were associated with overcoiling (UCI above the 90th percentile). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings confirm that adverse perinatal outcome is associated with both undercoiling and overcoiling of the umbilical cord.

Texas Rangers won't have to worry about Manny Machado this week
BALTIMORE – Major League Baseball dismissed the appeal of a five-game suspension by Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado on Monday, meaning the Rangers won't have to face him.
Machado was suspended five games for acts over a long weekend with Oakland in early June and had his appeal heard on Wednesday in Baltimore. With the suspension upheld, Machado has no choice but to begin his sentence tonight. The Orioles are expected to add infielder Jemile Weeks to the roster on Monday.
Machado is hitting only .239 this year after coming back from a severe leg injury suffered at the end of last season. He went 4-for-13 in a series against the Rangers in Arlington earlier in June, but is a .321 hitter with an .817 OPS for 53 career at-bats vs. the Rangers.

Career Plans
After graduation, I hope to work in the Public Relations/Communications department for a company or entity I'm passionate about. I'd also love to one day work for a magazine or open my own photography business.
Interesting Fact
Last summer I got to celebrate my 21st birthday in Berlin, Germany during a Photojournalism study abroad. Never would I have thought that I'd turn 21 while in Germany and have cake and wine at the second largest department store in Europe.
Favorite Gator Memory
My favorite Gator memory was doing a flashmob with the Rowdy Reptiles at a home basketball game last year! We taught the student section a routine and completely surprised the crowd when we all performed it during a time out. I've never had so much fun dancing on the court.

|Effect of two amino acid solutions on leucine turnover in preterm infants.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15655314 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of two different parenteral amino acid mixtures, Trophamine and Primene, on leucine turnover in preterm infants. METHOD: Leucine kinetics were measured with [5,5,5 D3]leucine tracer in 15 infants receiving Trophamine (group 'T') (mean birth weight 1,263 g) and 22 who received Primene (group 'P') (mean birth weight 1,336 g) during two study periods, within a few hours after birth but before introduction of parenteral amino acid solution, and again at postnatal day 7. The rate of appearance of leucine was calculated from the enrichment of alpha-ketoisocaproic acid in plasma. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in leucine turnover within a few hours after birth in the two groups. In the infants who received Primene leucine turnover on day 7 was significantly lower than in those who received Trophamine (269 +/- 43 vs. 335 +/- 27, p < 0.05). Despite a higher intake of leucine in the Trophamine group (108 +/- 10 vs. 77 +/- 8 micromol.kg(-1).h(-1)), leucine released from proteins at day 7 was higher in this group compared to Primene (227 +/- 27 vs. 192 +/- 42 micromol.kg(-1).h(-1)). CONCLUSIONS: Primene administration results in lower leucine released from proteins, an estimate of protein breakdown, than Trophamine in preterm infants. Increases in whole body leucine turnover in response to administration of i.v. amino acids is influenced by the composition of the amino acid mixture. The factors responsible for this difference remain to be elucidated.
