text: Brad Pitt: Angelina Is a Hero Praises Jolie's decision to get double mastectomy By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted May 14, 2013 10:57 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (21) (Newser) – Brad Pitt, who was with Angelina Jolie when she had her preventative double mastectomy, tells the Evening Standard he stands fully behind her decision. "Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus," he said, adding that all he wants is "for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family." In her column about the procedure, Jolie had praised Pitt as a "loving and supportive" partner. "Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries," she wrote. "We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has." Pitt's not the only one admiring Jolie's decision; the Hollywood Reporter notes that celebrities from Sheryl Crow to Dr. Drew are hailing her bravery. CNN's Zoraida Sambolin, meanwhile, said today that she's also planning a double mastectomy in wake of a cancer diagnosis.

Unlike some other spa manufacturers, we bypass the need for complex computer controls that tend to quit first and cost a lot to replace—what other companies bank on. Royal Spa believes in making your hot tub or spa experience simply the best from every possible angle. When you see our warranty—the longest in the industry—you'll understand why we're 32 years strong and the preferred choice year after year.
We were looking for the best bang for our buck and I absolutely would say we got that from Royal Spa Manufacturing.
We came here a few months ago and ordered a new hot tub. We were very happy with the installation, we did not have to do a thing! We would highly recommend Royal Spa.
I will refer any person who wants a spa to Royal Spa! They do high quality work and seem to care about it, too! I can only thank them for their professionalism and attention to detail!

I'm on the other side of the fence here; I think high standards should be encouraged and not be something to be ashamed of-- culture should not be defined by the lowest denominator.
See, that doesn't clarify what you're talking about at all. Since you mistakenly assume your point is obvious, you're making no effort at all to express it more coherently. As far as I can tell you're just rambling.

Sorry, I can't separate the *man* from his art. I grew up during the height of M.J.'s popularity, and to hear people compare his death to 9/11 or JFK's assassination saddens and disturbs me.
Here's some well-meaning young ladies on the beach in Los Angeles today who don't share my cynicism. Ah, the innocence of youth - something that M.J. knew all too well.

Posted By Amanda Bayhi On December 18, 2013 @ 8:00 am In ConExpo-Con/Agg 2014,New Road Products,News & Analysis,Products | No Comments
Allen Engineering has introduced its manual steering, mechanical-drive Mechanical Super Pro (MSP) 450 riding trowel.
The 4-foot-diameter riding trowel is designed to provide enough torque for floating with pans and high enough speeds for finishing.

The MSP 450 also includes two 46-inch-diameter, 5- blade non-overlapping rotors. Rotor speeds can reach up to 180 RPM.
The raised operator platform features specially-designed manual operating levers for easy steering. A flip-up seat and removable screens provide easy access to the engine, torque convertor, and drive-line.
Other features include an electric powered spray system for retardant application, as well as lights, a 12-volt charger and an hour meter.
Allen will display the MSP 450 at the Rental Show in Orlando, Florida in February and at ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas in March.

ROCKFORD — Last season, Christian Life went from contender to also-ran in a matter of weeks as several top players, including the Eagles' starting quarterback and fullback, went down with injuries.
ROCKFORD — Last season, Christian Life went from contender to also-ran in a matter of weeks as several top players, including the Eagles' starting quarterback and fullback, went down with injuries.
It left them with a 3-6 mark, good enough for seventh place in the 10-team Northeastern Athletic Conference.
"Obviously our record last year was poor," said first-year coach Tony Ambrogio. "We expected a good year, but the wheels fell off."
But while no coach wants that fate, Ambrogio, who served as an assistant for the Eagles before taking over this season for 14-year coach Chuck Leonard, is looking at it as an opportunity.
"I think we might be able to sneak up on some people," he said. "I really believe we'll be a real underdog going in."
One of the reasons he's optimistic is the "dramatic changes" he's put into the offense. The Eagles will feature a triple-option with more passing from the pistol formation.
"We're really putting in a lot of stuff and this bunch has been very smart about picking it up," Ambrogio said.
Learning is one thing. Executing is another. But Ambrogio has plenty of faith in his young offense.
"One of the bright spots is we have kids who can catch the ball and get off the edge," he said. "And we have a quarterback (Brady Pond) that is a sophomore who has been putting in the time this summer and in two-a-days. I have all the confidence in the world in Brady."
Pond heads a talented group of underclassmen in the skill positions, which includes sophomore Cameron Cassaro at slot receiver.
"Our strongest class is our sophomores and freshmen," Ambrogio said.
But those talented youngsters will be fronted by a veteran offensive line, featuring four-year starter Austin Forrester (6-4, 225) at center and fellow senior Justus Auman (5-10, 240) at offensive tackle.
"We're averaging about 220 pounds up front," Ambrogio said.
Other key players on offense will be junior receiver Rodney Quansah (5-10, 160), junior running back Joe Alonzo (5-10, 160) and senior back Ronald Bradford (5-10, 175).
Forrester will also ancher the defensive line along with fellow senior Ryan Gowins (5-10, 240), with Alonzo, Quansah and Bradford at linebacker and Cassaro at safety.
Ambrogio believes a good start will be the key to his team's fate. The Eagles open with two of the NAC's top teams with favored North Shore Country Day first and Mooseheart in Week 3.
"We've been pretty good at practice and have stayed away from injuries this week and last week," he said. "I feel we're ahead of the game.
"We just need to go through our reps so we know the offense and defense inside and out for our first game.
Page 2 of 3 - "I feel a conference title can be a reality. Everything comes down to executing. Most of the games in the conference are decided at the end, so if we can keep the games close and in hand, I think we can pull them out and be champs."

It's pretty crazy there were none of the main actors were injuried on Avengers, but RDJ got hurt in IM3. I guess we should be thankful that Joss Whedon is probably a safety nazi on set.
Sigh, the facepalms you create...
RDJ is a fully grown man more than capable of making his own decisions and certainly has earned the weight to throw around to get to make that choice. If he wanted to do a stunt by himself, by-damn who's going to tell him no? He's Robert Fucking Downey Jr.! If they don't agree to his demands who's their second choice?
So he does a stunt (or whatever) and twists his ankle. Big deal. He spends a day or two off his feet with some ice on it, the production switches to second-unit stuff or scenes without him, life moves on.
No need to declare fail on the entire industry, this particular production or to start thinking of delays in the release because a 50-year-old man wanted to do his own damn stunt.
For me, and for many of us, the future is now in the past.

You make very good points Tack. As for managing other peoples' money, I fear your words will prove to be prophetic. GW
May 4, 2015. 08:54 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
For my first twelve years as an attorney, litigation was the bulk of my practice. For the last eight, I have tried to get away from it (too stressful). Now, my practice consists primarily of consumer and business bankruptcy work with some commercial litigation interspersed. My goal is to retire from the practice of law as soon as possible. I am an active trader with a good track record. I currently manage only my own money but, in the absence of a law practice, I suspect my energy levels would demand something more. Therefore, once I leave the practice of law, I will likely gravitate towards managing other people's money.
I agree my response to your comment was harsh and I apologize. I am simply very disgusted with the federal government at all levels. The only thing the federal reserve needs to do is maintain a stable currency. The federal government needs to provide for the national defense and not much more. We need to get back to the system of federalism where police power is reserved to the states.
At this time, we find ourselves in a situation where the federal government has promised the people far more benefits than it can ever deliver. The obligations of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlement programs are "staggering" or, if you prefer, "excessive." There are only three ways to deal with those obligations: (1) pay for the benefits at face value (which would require younger generations to live near poverty to subsidize a more affluent lifestyle for the elderly); (2) monetize the debt (which would allow the government to provide the promised benefits with inflated dollars); or (3) commit a hard default on the obligations by eliminating the benefit programs (of course, option # 2 is a default but not a hard default).
Absent an explosion in productivity and prosperity, Option 1 will be impossible to accomplish. As the costs of socialism become more onerous for younger generations, they will revolt against the sacrifices demanded of them. Therefore, only options 1 and 2 are viable. In the end, I am certain both of these options will be utilized. The debts will be monetized through inflation and there will be hard defaults in the form of increasing age eligibility requirements and the elimination of certain benefits.
As for your question regarding which nations currently maintain excessive debt levels, the answer is virtually the entire developed world. Of course, the glaring examples are Japan, the United States and, of lesser consequence, certain members of the European Union. At present, the Bank of Japan purchases 75% of the sovereign debt issued by the Japanese government. While Japan has been spared hyperinflation so far, it is only a matter time until it emerges. I don't know if I would call it lucky, but Japan has been protected from inflation, to a greater degree than other nations, because of the 20% to 30% savings rate the Japanese people maintained for the last 50 years. Moreover, the Japanese are far less materialistic, far less entrepreneurial and have a deep-seated mistrust of banks which has contributed to hoarding.
In reality, Japan, and other similarly situated nations, would be better off if they just defaulted on their debt. I am a student of history and know a monetary crisis is a terrible experience for a nation but it's not permanent. At the end of the day, it isn't the monetary system which creates wealth and prosperity. Money is just a medium of exchange which facilitates commerce. It is the people, their values, their work ethic, their intelligence, creativity and ingenuity which create the wealth. In the final analysis, a monetary crisis creates a very profound, but transient, economic discomfort. Afterwards, absent a mass exodus of is most productive citizens, the nation has the same resources as before the crisis and, by establishing a new, stable currency, will quickly rise from the ashes.
So, over the next couple of decades, I think the entire world is in for a very rude awakening as they learn socialism doesn't work. That we all must provide for ourselves, our families and our communities without leaning on a paternalistic government. Then, we can hopefully start over with a new government that governs less and a central bank that seeks to provide a stable medium of exchange and nothing more.May 4, 2015. 07:17 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

That is the popular notion in MMT. It isn't true. At least not in an economy where the government runs enormous budget deficits and maintains staggering debt. Especially when that debt is denominated in a currency controlled by the government which issued the debt.
Your theory relies on the Fed's ability to pay interest on reserves to prevent the monetary base from flowing into the economy and creating inflation. But what happens when the interest rate necessary to prevent the flow of reserves into the economy approaches, or even exceeds, the interest rate paid on government bonds. Then, banks will dump sovereign debt in favor of maintaining reserves at the Federal Reserve.
At that point, you must either reduce the rate paid on reserves or allow interest rates on government bonds to increase. As stated in my prior comments, the government's debt is so large it cannot afford to pay higher interest rates. Therefore, you must reduce the interest rate on reserves and allow the money to flow in to the economy. Of course, that will result in unprecedented inflation.May 4, 2015. 12:39 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
2008 wasn't just s cyclical economic downturn but more of a 19th century-style panic created by loose monetary policy and exacerbated by the policies of the federal government aimed at guaranteeing home ownership to the masses. The only way to moderate the booms and busts is to reform the monetary system. First, the employment maximization side of the Fed's dual mandate should be eliminated in favor of the Fed focusing solely on controlling inflation. Second, we need to implement a monetary policy similar to Milton Friedman's Monetarism model where the money supply grows at a moderate, constant rate plus any increases in productivity. To moderate the depths of general, cyclical, economic downturns, we need to reduce the size of government and implement a consumption tax in place of personal and business income taxes.

I agree with you insofar as the only saving grace for the U.S. government is the equally abysmal fiscal state of many of the EU nations. Nevertheless, while no one can predict when it will happen, it is just a matter of time until there is a major monetary crisis in the United States. With debts and deficits at this level, and the never ending rise in entitlement spending that comes with an aging population, there is simply no possible way for the government to survive without debasing the currency in a monumental way.
As with all financial crises, for most people it will seem to arise unexpectedly and without reason. It has been this way since the dawn of time. Recent examples abound. In 2000, Wall Street told us the bull market in internet stocks would never end. In 2006, investors believed real estate prices would never decline. Of course, we all know how those predictions turned out. Now, we are told there is no inflation and none in sight. The facts, of course, say otherwise. We will have to wait and see what happensMay 1, 2015. 12:14 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
QE never ended. The Federal Reserve continues to purchase assets with the interest it receives on the bonds and mortgage-backed securities it purchased over the last 7 years. Regrettably, the Fed has no choice but to continue quantitative easing on an even grander scale in the future. One need look no further than the fiscal nightmare that we call the federal government to understand why.
The national debt stands at nearly $18 Trillion and the federal government is still running a huge budget deficit . Can you imagine what would happen if interest rates on U.S. government bonds returned to a more normal level of say 7% to 8%? If that happened, the federal debt service would increase by about $600 Billion per year.
Quite simply, the Federal Reserve can't allow interest rates on U.S. government bonds to rise as it would decimate the fiscal train wreck that exists in the federal government. Continuing with train wreck analogies, it would be like crashing a train carrying weapons of mass destruction into another train that already wrecked. The results would be incomprehensible.
But the only way to keep rates on U.S. bonds down is if someone is willing to buy those bonds at an acceptable interest rate. Although I disagree with the author that consumer inflation is low, I will agree the real inflation has been in the prices of investment class assets. Most notably equities. And why have equity prices blazed higher in a seemingly never ending bull market.? Because it is the only place to invest and receive a respectable, risk-adjusted rate of return. Unfortunately, this situation, where the government must maintain low interest rates for purposes of financing its spending, while individual investors, as well as other nations, are unwilling to accept those rates of return, means that someone must eventually arise who is willing to purchase government debt even when there is no logical basis to do so. That someone will be the Federal Reserve.
As the national debt and corresponding debt service continues to increase, there will be less and less private purchasers of U.S. sovereign debt. This will create the catalyst for our next economic nightmare. As it happens, the Federal Reserve will become the lender of last resort. Unlike the Panic of 2008, however, when the Federal Reserve became the lender of last resort to the nation's financial institutions, this time it will be the lender of last resort to the federal government. While it may seem that inflation is contained at this time, the ever increasing federal debt and budget deficits, together with the Fed's quantitative easing necessary to fund those deficits, will lead to unprecedented inflation in the United States.
In light of the most recent Fed statement, and the reasons set forth above, I am confident the Fed will do whatever is necessary to keep interest rates low. Of course, that means a continuation of the bull market for stocks. In fact, in the coming year I think we will see the beginning of a stock market bubble comparable to, if not worse than, the Dot-Com era.May 1, 2015. 12:02 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was out of town shortly after this article was published, returned to a hectic schedule and, last week, succumbed to the flu.
My article was not meant to give a precise value for FNMA but merely to point out there is a great deal more value here than the market is giving credit. As you point out, of the $80 billion in profit, about $50 billion represents deferred tax benefits. I agree completely with your assessment.
My point is: that still leaves $30 billion after the non-cash items. And, from my perspective at least, that is nothing at which to sneeze. Moreover, you can't act as if the tax savings of $50 billion don't count. Even on a fully diluted basis, before the dividend sweep, the price to book valuation is astronomical. It isn't bad even after the dividend.
There are articles with great valuations of this company out there. The consensus among them seems to be about $40.00 per share. I won't attempt my own valuation but, suffice it to say, I won't complain if I only see half of that?
You are a very astute commentator. Thank you for taking time to read my article.

More than just off topic, your comment is one of the most ridiculous I have ever read. Demand creates jobs? There is plenty of pent-up demand in Haiti and other poverty-stricken areas of the world. According to your logic, these places should be overflowing with jobs.
Jobs are created by people who create businesses that produce goods and services. You can't have customers until you have the means to produce the products or services they consume. That is why free market capitalism creates wealthy nations. It rewards those who start businesses which, in turn, create the goods and services that raise the standard of living.Apr 4, 2014. 10:15 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Hi!is the olympus om-2n a silent camera?...problems with vibration with shutter or not?
thanks regards;)
Not silent but pretty quiet as SLRs go. Air damped mirror mechanism helps. Certainly no problems with vibration.
Silent - no but no niosier than similar cameras from that era. Vibration again the same as the silent question, however on most SLR's the vibratory period is AFTER the shutter has fired and the mirror coming down to collide with the base is what you feel as 'vibration'. It is insignificant and does not affect the image at all.
The OMs are along with the Leicaflexes probably the quietest of the manual wind SLRs. (The Canon Elan 7 is quite quiet -- really very impressive.) In the case of the OMs it's the damping described above, in conjunction with a cloth shutter. Definitely not silent, however.
Silent. Quiet. Noisy. ?
Depends on the circumstances of course. A church during a quiet moment is never suitable for an slr, though a big heavy Contax RTSIII is relatively quiet. Good shutter damping and mass count for something. It's the quietest slr I know.
If you want really quiet, shoot an OM-1 with its mirror locked up.
Many times I shot an OM-1 this way with a 28mm, scale focused. Shoot from the hip. Point and pray - crop later. Great for museums.
Also using a leather half-case helps a lot.
Ya, my OM 1 and 2 have about the same amount of 'silencieness' (since we are making up words).
I think it is a relatively quiet slr - louder than rangefinders, but near-silent when compared with the Pentax 67 I get to play with - but I sounds like you are reloading a canon when it goes off.

Re: Prestiging on CoD Ghosts?trialstardragon Oct 16, 2013 6:37 PM (in response to xxhellboyxx)
There are no more multiple prestige's in Ghosts. Each squad member you create only can prestige once. I sort of doubt they will mark how many a player has prestiged by an emblem anymore since really it does not matter since the prestige really means nothing.
High prestige means nothing in Ghosts. It is not a badge of honor to be at like 10th prestige as it was believed to be in past games.
But dont take my word, I could be wrong.
Re: Prestiging on CoD Ghosts?Wheels1AWTT Oct 17, 2013 7:03 AM (in response to trialstardragon)
Prestige was meaningless anyway, I am a 10th prestige in BO2 now and all it took was time not skill. Just takes some people longer than others. I don't even care about K/D because some times you just screw around and it doesn't truly reflect skill level. In game etiquette and strategy mean more to me, I'd rather play with people who play the game than someone who get 50 kills exploiting it.

From my understanding you can prestige each soldier once (like trialstardragon said),
but your overall prestige is determined by how many soldiers you have prestiged.
So lets say you have 4 soldiers fully prestiged (once prestiged for each) that means that you are 4th prestige.
This is from my knowledge and understanding so I hope this helped!

Re: Prestiging on CoD Ghosts?xthefinalfallen Oct 18, 2013 8:36 PM (in response to xxhellboyxx)
yeah honestly, prestige mode means nothing like it used to. in Cod4, if you we're in a lobby with somebody who was 10th prestige, level 55, you knew they were good. But since MW2, all the XP lobbies, it really took away the true meaning.

Atomistic Computer Simulations of Diffusion Mechanisms in Lithium Lanthanum Titanate Solid State Electrolytes for Lithium Ion Batteries
Date: August 2014
Creator: Chen, Chao-Hsu
Description: Solid state lithium ion electrolytes are important to the development of next generation safer and high power density lithium ion batteries. Perovskite-structured LLT is a promising solid electrolyte with high lithium ion conductivity. LLT also serves as a good model system to understand lithium ion diffusion behaviors in solids. In this thesis, molecular dynamics and related atomistic computer simulations were used to study the diffusion behavior and diffusion mechanism in bulk crystal and grain boundary in lithium lanthanum titanate (LLT) solid state electrolytes. The effects of defect concentration on the structure and lithium ion diffusion behaviors in LLT were systematically studied and the lithium ion self-diffusion and diffusion energy barrier were investigated by both dynamic simulations and static calculations using the nudged elastic band (NEB) method. The simulation results show that there exist an optimal vacancy concentration at around x=0.067 at which lithium ions have the highest diffusion coefficient and the lowest diffusion energy barrier. The lowest energy barrier from dynamics simulations was found to be around 0.22 eV, which compared favorably with 0.19 eV from static NEB calculations. It was also found that lithium ions diffuse through bottleneck structures made of oxygen ions, which expand in dimension by 8-10% ...

Atomistic Studies of Point Defect Migration Rates in the Iron-Chromium System
Date: August 2010
Creator: Hetherly, Jeffery
Description: Generation and migration of helium and other point defects under irradiation causes ferritic steels based on the Fe-Cr system to age and fail. This is motivation to study point defect migration and the He equation of state using atomistic simulations due to the steels' use in future reactors. A new potential for the Fe-Cr-He system developed by collaborators at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was validated using published experimental data. The results for the He equation of state agree well with experimental data. The activation energies for the migration of He- and Fe-interstitials in varying compositions of Fe-Cr lattices agree well with prior work. This research did not find a strong correlation between lattice ordering and interstitial migration energy

Biocompatible Hybrid Nanomaterials Involving Polymers and Hydrogels Interfaced with Phosphorescent Complexes and Toxin-Free Metallic Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
Date: August 2011
Creator: Marpu, Sreekar B.
Description: The major topics discussed are all relevant to interfacing brightly phosphorescent and non-luminescent coinage metal complexes of [Ag(I) and Au(I)] with biopolymers and thermoresponsive gels for making hybrid nanomaterials with an explanation on syntheses, characterization and their significance in biomedical fields. Experimental results and ongoing work on determining outreaching consequences of these hybrid nanomaterials for various biomedical applications like cancer therapy, bio-imaging and antibacterial abilities are described. In vitro and in vivo studies have been performed on majority of the discussed hybrid nanomaterials and determined that the cytotoxicity or antibacterial activity are comparatively superior when compared to analogues in literature. Consequential differences are noticed in photoluminescence enhancement from hybrid phosphorescent hydrogels, phosphorescent complex ability to physically crosslink, Au(I) sulfides tendency to form NIR (near-infrared) absorbing AuNPs compared to any similar work in literature. Syntheses of these hybrid nanomaterials has been thoroughly investigated and it is determined that either metallic nanoparticles syntheses or syntheses of phosphorescent hydrogels can be carried in single step without involving any hazardous reducing agents or crosslinkers or stabilizers that are commonly employed during multiple step syntheses protocols for syntheses of similar materials in literature. These astounding results that have been discovered within studies of hybrid nanomaterials ...

Biodegradable Poly(hydroxy Butyrate-co-valerate) Nanocomposites And Blends With Poly(butylene Adipate-co-terephthalate) For Sensor Applications
Date: December 2011
Creator: Vidhate, Shailesh.
Description: The utilization of biodegradable polymers is critical for developing "cradle to cradle" mindset with ecological, social and economic consequences. Poly(hydroxy butyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) shows significant potential for many applications with a polypropylene equivalent mechanical performance. However, it has limitations including high crystallinity, brittleness, small processing window, etc. which need to be overcome before converting them into useful products. Further the development of biodegradable strain sensing polymer sensors for structural health monitoring has been a growing need. In this dissertation I utilize carbon nanotubes as a self sensing dispersed nanofiller. The impact of its addition on PHBV and a blend of PHBV with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) polymer was examined. Nanocomposites and blends of PHBV, PBAT, and MWCNTs were prepared by melt-blending. The effect of MWCNTs on PHBV crystallinity, crystalline phase, quasi-static and dynamic mechanical property was studied concurrently with piezoresistive response. In PHBV/PBAT blends a rare phenomenon of melting point elevation by the addition of low melting point PBAT was observed. The blends of these two semicrystalline aliphatic and aromatic polyesters were investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry, small angle X-ray scattering, dynamic mechanical analysis, surface energy measurement by contact angle method, polarized optical and scanning electron microscopy, and rheology. The study ...

Bioresorbable Polymer Blend Scaffold for Tissue Engineering
Date: May 2011
Creator: Manandhar, Sandeep
Description: Tissue engineering merges the disciplines of study like cell biology, materials science, engineering and surgery to enable growth of new living tissues on scaffolding constructed from implanted polymeric materials. One of the most important aspects of tissue engineering related to material science is design of the polymer scaffolds. The polymer scaffolds needs to have some specific mechanical strength over certain period of time. In this work bioresorbable aliphatic polymers (PCL and PLLA) were blended using extrusion and solution methods. These blends were then extruded and electrospun into fibers. The fibers were then subjected to FDA standard in vitro immersion degradation tests where its mechanical strength, water absorption, weight loss were observed during the eight weeks. The results indicate that the mechanical strength and rate of degradation can be tailored by changing the ratio of PCL and PLLA in the blend. Processing influences these parameters, with the loss of mechanical strength and rate of degradation being higher in electrospun fibers compared to those extruded. A second effort in this thesis addressed the potential separation of the scaffold from the tissue (loss of apposition) due to the differences in their low strain responses. This hypothesis that using knit with low tension will ...

Carrier Mobility, Charge Trapping Effects on the Efficiency of Heavily Doped Organic Light-Emitting Diodes, and EU(lll) Based Red OLEDs
Date: August 2010
Creator: Lin, Ming-Te
Description: Transient electroluminescence (EL) was used to measure the onset of emission delay in OLEDs based on transition metal, phosphorescent bis[3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolato] platinum(ΙΙ) and rare earth, phosphorescent Eu(hfa)3 with 4'-(p-tolyl)-2,2":6',2" terpyridine (ttrpy) doped into 4,4'-bis(carbazol-9-yl) triphenylamine (CBP), from which the carrier mobility was determined. For the Pt(ptp)2 doped CBP films in OLEDs with the structure: ITO/NPB (40nm)/mcp (10nm)/65% Pt(ptp)2:CBP (25nm)/TPBI (30nm)/Mg:Ag (100nm), where NPB=N, N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-N-N'-biphenyl-1, 1'-biphenyl-4, MCP= N, N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene, TPBI=1,3,5-tris(phenyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-benzene, delayed recombination was observed and based on its dependence on frequency and duty cycle, ascribed to trapping and de-trapping processes at the interface of the emissive layer and electron blocker. The result suggests that the exciton recombination zone is at, or close to the interface between the emissive layer and electron blocker. The lifetime of the thin films of phosphorescent emitter Pt(ptp)2 were studied for comparison with rare earth emitter Eu(hfa)3. The lifetime of 65% Pt(ptp)2:CBP co-film was around 638 nanoseconds at the emission peak of 572nm, and the lifetime of neat Eu(hfa)3 film was obtained around 1 millisecond at 616 nm, which supports the enhanced efficiency obtained from the Pt(ptp)2 devices. The long lifetime and narrow emission of the rare earth dopant Eu(hfa)3 is a fundamental factor limiting device performance. Red ...

Comparative Coarsening Kinetics of Gamma Prime Precipitates in Nickel and Cobalt Base Superalloys
Date: August 2014
Creator: Meher, Subhashish
Description: The increasing technological need to push service conditions of structural materials to higher temperatures has motivated the development of several alloy systems. Among them, superalloys are an excellent candidate for high temperature applications because of their ability to form coherent ordered precipitates, which enable the retention of high strength close to their melting temperature. The accelerated kinetics of solute diffusion, with or without an added component of mechanical stress, leads to coarsening of the precipitates, and results in microstructural degradation, limiting the durability of the materials. Hence, the coarsening of precipitates has been a classical research problem for these alloys in service. The prolonged hunt for an alternative of nickel base superalloys with superior traits has gained hope after the recent discovery of Co-Al-W based alloys, which readily form high temperature g precipitates, similar to Ni base superalloys. In the present study, coarsening behavior of g precipitates in Co-10Al-10W (at. %) has been carried out at 800°C and 900°C. This study has, for the first time, obtained critical coarsening parameters in cobalt-base alloys. Apart from this, it has incorporated atomic scale compositional information across the g/g interfaces into classical Cahn-Hilliard model for a better model of coarsening kinetics. The coarsening ...

Computational Studies on Structures and Ionic Diffusion of Bioactive Glasses
Date: August 2014
Creator: Xiang, Ye
Description: Bioactive glasses are a class of synthetic inorganic material that have wide orthopedics, dentistry, tissue engineering and other biomedical applications. The origin of the bioactivity is closely related to the atomic structures of these novel glass materials, which otherwise lack long range order and defies any direct experimental measurements due to their amorphous nature. The structure of bioactive glasses is thus essential for the understanding of bioactive behaviors and eventually rational design of glass compositions. In this dissertation, molecular dynamics (MD) and reverse monte carlo (RMC) based computer simulations have been used to systematically study the atomic structure of three classes of new bioactive glasses: strontium doped 45S5 Bioglass®, ZnO-SrO containing bioactive glasses, and Cao-MgO-P2O5-SiO2 bioactive glasses. Properties such as ionic diffusion that are important to glass dissolution behaviors are also examined as a function of glass compositions. The accuracy of structure model generated by simulation was validated by comparing with various experimental measurements including X-ray/neutron diffraction, NMR and Raman spectroscopy. It is shown in this dissertation that atomistic computer simulations, when integrated with structural and property characterizations, is an effective tool in understanding the structural origin of bioactivity and other properties of amorphous bioactive materials that can lead to ...

Computational Study of Dislocation Based Mechanisms in Fcc Materials
Date: August 2014
Creator: Yellakara, Ranga Nikhil
Description: Understanding the relationships between microstructures and properties of materials is a key to developing new materials with more suitable qualities or employing the appropriate materials in special uses. In the present world of material research, the main focus is on microstructural control to cost-effectively enhance properties and meet performance specifications. This present work is directed towards improving the fundamental understanding of the microscale deformation mechanisms and mechanical behavior of metallic alloys, particularly focusing on face centered cubic (FCC) structured metals through a unique computational methodology called three-dimensional dislocation dynamics (3D-DD). In these simulations, the equations of motion for dislocations are mathematically solved to determine the evolution and interaction of dislocations. Microstructure details and stress-strain curves are a direct observation in the simulation and can be used to validate experimental results. The effect of initial dislocation microstructure on the yield strength has been studied. It has been shown that dislocation density based crystal plasticity formulations only work when dislocation densities/numbers are sufficiently large so that a statistically accurate description of the microstructure can be obtainable. The evolution of the flow stress for grain sizes ranging from 0.5 to 10 µm under uniaxial tension was simulated using an improvised model by integrating ...

Corrosion Protection of Aerospace Grade Magnesium Alloy Elektron 43™ for Use in Aircraft Cabin Interiors
Date: August 2013
Creator: Baillio, Sarah S.
Description: Magnesium alloys exhibit desirable properties for use in transportation technology. In particular, the low density and high specific strength of these alloys is of interest to the aerospace community. However, the concerns of flammability and susceptibility to corrosion have limited the use of magnesium alloys within the aircraft cabin. This work studies a magnesium alloy containing rare earth elements designed to increase resistance to ignition while lowering rate of corrosion. The microstructure of the alloy was documented using scanning electron microscopy. Specimens underwent salt spray testing and the corrosion products were examined using energy dispersive spectroscopy.

The key averages were mixed, but more stocks were lower in the latest session on Wall Street. The Dow gained 19 points to 13,597. The S&P slipped nearly a point, while the Nasdaq was down nearly 7 points. Futures trading suggests gains at this morning's opening.
- International stock markets rebounded today, led by gains in technology and oil companies, despite uncertainty about the fragile global economy. Benchmark crude oil rose above $93, clawing back some of its recent large fall and helping to boost energy stocks. The dollar rose against the euro but fell against the yen.

Timothy Leary, the '60s counterculture icon, once famously got busted for drug possession in Laguna Beach.
So it makes perfect sense that Don Lattin, author of "The Harvard Psychedelic Club," will stop there on Wednesday, April 7 as part of his promotional tour for the book.
The book's lengthy subtitle -- "How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America" -- might sound a bit much, the story Lattin unfolds is a fascinating tale of how the research by the three Harvard profs and one undergraduate changed American culture from the '60s through today.
A host of pop culture figures from John Lennon and Allen Ginsberg to President Richard Nixon and Theodore "The Unibomber" Kaczynski make cameo appearances as the story unwinds.
Lattin will appear at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Latitude 33 Bookshop at 311 Ocean Ave. in Laguna Beach. For information call 949-494-5403.

And some latest rumors from 43rumors site:
"The E-M1 has adaptive sharpening optimization (works for every Olympus MFT and FT lens)
- Continuous AF is better than in any other MFT camera and matches the best DSLR performance
- EVF automatically adjusts the brightness
- The E-M1 is more weathersealed than the Olympus E-5
- 12-40mm PRO lens has better performance than the 12-60mm FT lens.
- Olympus will offer a PRO Service package for E-M1 owners (for example access to a hotline number)"
If the C-AF is as good as they say, it will be a revolution in the mirrorless world ... we will be able to machine gun our rapidly evasive subjects at will just like the Canikon crowds do!:-P

Oscar Robertson RumorsAll NBA Players
Marc D'Amico: John Havlicek: "If Oscar Robertson and Jerry West hadn't been around, Sam Jones would have been the best guard in the NBA."
In the third quarter Tuesday, in the midst of his fifth career season averaging a double-double with at least 18 points per game, Paul surpassed the 13,000 career point mark. By doing so, he became one of only four players in NBA history with at least 13,000 points and 6,500 assists in fewer than 700 career games. The only other players to achieve that feat? Oscar Robertson, Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson. "Jamal Crawford said it the other day, and I always try to make an imprint, a lasting imprint, things like that," Paul said after the win against the Lakers. "That's definitely a huge honor to even be mentioned among those guys."
Q: Who do you like watching, Mike? D'Antoni: "Golden State jumps out at me. You've got to like Oklahoma City. I mean Holy mackerel, watching Westbrook is like sitting on a roller coaster and going a thousand miles an hour. You've never seen anything like that. What he's doing?" Q: You know what's funny? Everybody always brings up Oscar Robertson as the triple-double king – and that's true – but we forget how fast they used to play. This OKC team is not playing at anywhere near the pace of those old Oscar teams, which absolutely makes your head spin. A: "No, it does. And if you watch old films, that ball is flying around and they're going. They're going. I think that if you put today's bodies (of) people and played the way they did, now you're talking. It's interesting. You know what's fun about basketball? It keeps evolving, and it keeps changing a little bit. And the older guys want to try to hold it back to how they grew up, and it's not the same. You've got to change with the times, and some of the guys you've got to drag across the finish line."
Four-time NBA All-Star Bob Dandridge's No. 10 jersey was retired Saturday night by the Milwaukee Bucks. Honoring a key player from their 1971 NBA championship team, the Bucks held the retirement ceremony at halftime of their game against Washington — the other franchise Dandridge played for and helped win a title in his 13-year career. Known as the "The Greyhound," Dandridge averaged 18.4 points on the 1971 Bucks squad led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson that beat Baltimore for the title.

Thermoformed cups give pâté long shelf life
Increased competition for space in refrigerated cases at grocery stores is shifting product marketers' focus toward food packaging that can deliver a long, ambient shelf life elsewhere in the store.
French food manufacturer William Saurin believes it has a solution with its new range of ambient pâtés in innovative thermoformed packaging.
Marketed under the Portions brand, the spreadable pâtés come in four single-serve, multilayer cups packaged inside a cylindrical outer carton. Two aspects give the cups marketing pluses over fresh pâté varieties: an oxygen barrier for shelf life and 60-cc cups for on-the-go convenience.
William Saurin says it has developed a proprietary process to sterilize the individual cups and assure taste as good as fresh pâté. "We are proud to launch the innovative Portions range under the William Saurin name, bringing a new way to consume pâtés," says Eric Fleurance, product manager at William Saurin. "The input of RPC Barrier Containers France has been instrumental in delivering a great-tasting, convenient product to the consumer."
The cups, from RPC Barrier Containers France (www.rpc.eu), are thermoformed in white PP/EVOH/PP. After filling, each cup is sealed with an aluminum foil closure and packed into the printed cylinder.
William Saurin says it has successfully launched its four-carton packs at leading French supermarkets in flavor varieties including Olive Chicken, Tomato Chicken, Country Pate, and Liver.

The Marina Industries Association (MIA)'s International Clean Marina program has been recognised as an innovative and proactive initiative by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), following the introduction of a new risk based licensing system. The system is aimed at improving environmental performance and outcomes of licenced operators and will also allow the EPA to better target regulatory efforts towards high risk and poor performing licensees.
Clean Marina - Level 3
The EPA thanked MIA in writing for participating in the consultation process for the risk based licensing system.
'The EPA supports the MIA's Clean Marina Program and agrees that it is an innovative and proactive initiative that contributes to best practice by raising industry standards for environmental operation and management,' Acting Director of Reform and Compliance, Ann-Louise Crotty said.
Typically in NSW an average sized marina with 150 berths and an operational boat yard is currently paying between $4,500 and $5,500 pa to the EPA for an environmental protection license. As a result of these EPA changes to the licensing system, marinas that are MIA accredited level 3 or level 4 may be eligible for up to a 5% reduction in the license administrative fee.
MIA Vice Chairman Darren Vaux said the MIA welcomes this announcement as a positive step towards removing green tape from businesses that implement best practice. 'The MIA appreciates EPA's changes and its support for the Clean Marinas program. We look forward to working cooperatively with the EPA to continue the process to effectively reward good environmental practices by further reductions to license fees and moving more of the (green tape) financial burden to non-compliant businesses'.
Chairman of the NSW Boating Industry Association Marinas Association David Randall CMM said the EPA change was very positively received at its recent committee meeting. 'This is a significant breakthrough in the EPA's approach to marinas and we want to build on this benefit going forward'.
MIA has 61 marinas participating in the International Clean Marina program across regions extending from the United Arab Emirates to Victoria. There are 22 accredited Clean Marinas in NSW. Details on the Clean Marina program may be found on the MIA website.

Is the gateway to access legal aid funding opening for victims of domestic violence?
Changes in the law that come into effect on 22 April 2014 should make it easier for victims of domestic violence to access public funding to obtain legal advice and assistance.
Since April 2013, victims of domestic violence have had to provide 'acceptable evidence' to obtain legal aid.
This has led to difficulties for many victims accessing legal advice as they could not provide, often in times of crisis, the necessary written evidence to obtain funding. This led to concerns being raised by support organisations that many victims have stayed in abusive relationships because they are unable to afford legal representation, feel unable to represent themselves in court against the alleged perpetrator and fear losing their children into the care system…
