United States Patent O1 3,634,278 Patented Jan. 11, 1972 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A chemical composition for efficiently countering the effects of chemical and biological Warfare agents consisting of a mixture of monoethanolamine, hexylene glycol or other related solvents and a minor amount of either lithium hydroxide or metallic lithium.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a decontaminating agent. More particularly, this invention concerns itself with an all purpose decontaminant that has been found effective in decontaminating both chemical and biological warfare agents.
The recent advances made in the formulation and utilization of chemical and biological warfare agents has further enhanced the problem of countering their effects through the use of conventional decontamination procedures. Many procedures have been tried in the past and, in general, involve two methods of approach, mechanical and chemical. Among the accepted mechanical methods are vacuum cleaning, blasting with abrasives, scraping, sanding, flame cleaning and surface removal. The primary chemical methods involve water washing, steam cleaning and scrubbing with detergents, acids, caustics, solvents and specially prepared chemical solutions. Because of the present-day chemical and biological agents, the use of specially prepared solutions has been found to be the most effective method of dealing with the decontamination problem. However, many of specially prepared decontaminants are hazardous to personnel because of their toxicity and damaging to materials because of their corrosiveness. In general, they are not simultaneously effective against both chemical and biological agents.
In attempting to overcome the problems which exist when using previously known decontaminating solutions, it has been found that the effects of both chemical and biological warfare agents can be effectively countered by utilizing the decontaminants of this invention. They are effective against both chemical and biological warfare agents; they possess a low toxicity; and are relatively noncorrosive.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the teachings of this invention, the effective decontamination of chemical and biological warfare agents is accomplished by utilizing a decontaminating solution which contains monoethanolamine, hexylene glycol or other related solvents, and either lithium hydroxide or metallic lithium as a decontamination constitutent. The lithium component makes the formulation superior in its ability to decontaminate V agents, and other chemical warfare agents such as BZ, CS, HD and GB without contributing to an increase in the toxicity or corrosiveness of the basic decontaminating solution.
Accordingly, the primary object of this invention is to provide and efficient decontaminant for countering the effects of both chemical and biological warfare agents.
Another object of this invention is to provide a decontaminating solution that does not exhibit a high degree of toxicity or corrosiveness when employed with standard decontaminating techniques.
Still another object of this invention is to provide an effective decontaminating solution that can be employed to decontaminate aircraft, aircraft equipment, facilities such as buildings and runways, as well as personnel who have been contaminated by chemical and biological warfare agents.
The above and still further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description thereof.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Pursuant to the above objects of this invention, the present decontaminating solution comprises a mixture of about 50% to monoethanolamine (MBA), 50% to 25% of hexylene glycol. (HG) or related solvent and about 0.5 to 1.0 molar of either lithium hydroxide or metallic lithium. The solutions are prepared by either dissolving LiOH-H O in water and then adding it to the monoethanolamine (MEA) base, or by directly dissolving LiOH-H O in the MEA base solution. The lithium metal was dissolved in monoethanolamine and then added to the MEA base.
These solutions have been found to be more effective in destroying VX agents than prior art decontaminants. The results obtained with stirred mixtures of these solutions and VX are summarized in Table I. The composition of these solutions, as well as those described hereinafter, is expressed in terms of the volume percentages of liquids in the solvent and the weight percentages of dissolved solids (on the w./v. basis).
Lithium metal, when dissolved in MBA, produced hydroegn gas and lithium aminoethoxide (LiOCH CH NH as a soluble product. It is assumed that this product persists when HG is added, although part of it might be converted to an alkoxide of HG.

From the data in Table I it can be seen that the amount of VX that can be destroyed, if adequate time is allowed, is stoichiometrically related to the amount of lithium base present. As discussed later, it is reasonable to expect that the stoichiometric ratio of VX destroyed to lithium base originally added would be 1:1 on a molar basis. Assuming unit density for VX, this ratio means that the maximum relative volume of VX that could be completely destroyed by 0.5 M lithium base would be about 1:75, or by 0.25 M(M=molar) lithium base, about 1:15. Generally speaking, the results are consistent with this prediction.
The rate of the destruction of VX by LiOH solutions increases as the amount of water in the solution is reduced. With onyl 1% of water present in a 0.5 M LiOH solution, a :1 volume ratio of the decontaminating solution to VX essentially destroys the VX completely in minutes. This rate is about the same with a solution of 0.5 M lithium aminoethoxide (LiAE), in which water was present only if it was added inadvertently as an impurity. A possible explanation for the efiect of water on the reaction rate is discussed later.
Results from examples in which the test solutions were static, rather than stirred, were also obtained. One example involved a 1:10 mixture of VX with 0.5 M LiOH in 63% MBA-27% PIP-10% water. Percentages of the initial amount of VX found by enzymatic analysis were as follows: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 15%; minutes, 8%. These results indicated that the disappearance of VX was somewhat slower than in the comparable examples of Table I where the mixtures were stirred. The stirred mixtures probably had a slightly higher temperature, as a result of heating from the magnetic stirrer, and thus a faster reaction rate.
In additional test results, the time-consuming enzymatic analyses were omitted, and data to indicate the rates and degrees of VX destruction were observed by another method. Two-milliliter quantities of varying ratios of VX and decontaminating solution were mixed in small tubes that were rotated end-over-end for 5 minutes and then added to a mixture of 10 ml. of water and 10 ml. of cyclohexane; aliquots of the cyclohexane phase were removed and allowed to dry by evaporation. The oily residues were Weighed to determine the relative amounts of VX that were not destroyed by the decontaminating solution and thus were recovered by extraction with the water-cyclohexane system. The decontaminating solutions contained 0.5 M LiOH and varying percentages of water (10, 1, or 0%), or 0.5 M LiAE in a water-free system. In order to obtain a water-free solution, anhydrous LiOH rather than the hydrate, LiOH-H O, was dissolved in a mixture of MBA and HG. The results of these tests are summarized in Table II. Within experimental error, the same amount of VX remained after 5 minutes in a decontaminating solution that was prepared to contain 0.5 M LiOH and 1% of water, 0.5 M LiOH and no water, or 0.5 M LiAE and no water; on the other hand, a much greater amount of VX remained after 5 minutes in a decontaminating solution that was prepared to contain 0.5 M LiOH and 10% water.

6 LiOILH-JO was dissolved in MEA-I1 (1.
1 LiOI'LHzO was dissolved in water and added to MBA-HG.
4 From a theoretical standpoint, it is reasonable to assume that an MEA-base decontaminating solution containing hydroxide destroys VX by reaction (1) and that an MEA-base decontaminating solution containing aminoethoxide destroys VX by reaction (2) In both reactions, one mole of lithium base is required for each mole of VX destroyed.
In order to explain the results obtained with the present invention, it is also helpful to postulate that an equilibrium exists between hydroxide and aminoethoxide ions, as shown by reaction 3) A similar equilibrium exists between hydroxide and ethoxide, in a solution prepared by dissolving an alkali hydroxide in ethanol, as shown by reaction (4) The equilibrium constant for (4) is such that with 1% of water present, the existence of ethoxide rather than of hydroxide is favored (E. F. Caldin & G. Long, J. Chem. Soc. 1954, 3737). If the equilibrium constant for (3) is similar in magnitude, solutions prepared by dissolving LiOH in MBA-base solvents, with only a small amount of water present, would contain principally aminoethoxide rather than hydroxide. Therefore, we assume that the increasing rate of VX destruction by LiOH solutions that is observed as the percentage of water decreases from 10% to 1% may be attributed to a shift in equilibrium (3) to favor aminoethoxide, which destroys VX more rapidly by reaction (2) than hydroxide does by reaction (1). Practically speaking, there may be no significant difference in the compositions of solutions prepared by dissolving equivalent amounts of LiOH-H O, LiOH, or Li metal in a mixture of MBA and HG.
The above test results show that strong lithium bases, especially the aminoethoxide, are favorable to the rapid destruction of VX. Additional test results on their efiect on HD agent are presented in Table III. Mixtures of HD and the decontaminating solutions were prepared and al lowed to stand at room temperature for varying intervals. The amount of HD that remained was determined by diluting with water, extracting with heptane, and analyzing the heptane phase by gas chromatography.

Another modification of the preferred solution of this invention involves the substitution of the monomethyl ethers of propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol (PGME and DPGME, respectively); these compounds have low freezing points, good solvent properties, and low toxicities by both vapor inhalation and skin contact.
The freezing points of a series of MEA-PGME and MEA-DPGME solutions were determined. The data indicated that the minimum percentages of PGME and DPGME that would be required to produce freezing points near C. would be 50% and 60% respectively; substantially higher percentages of these components were expected to make undesirable reductions in decontaminating activity. Thus two decontaminating solutions were prepared from liquid mixtures of the following compositions: 48% of MBA and 52% of PGME, and 37% and of MBA and 63% of DPGME. Each contained 3.0% of LiOH-H O.
Both solutions were found to freeze near C. Both solutions were found to exhibit about the same effectiveness for the destruction of VX and HD, but both were much less effective than the original MEA'HG-LiOH solution, especially with HD. The flash points were found to be 43 C. for the MEA-PGME-LiOH-H O solution and 82 C. for the MEA-DPGME-LiOHH O solution. The flash point of the solution containing PGME, much lower than that of the MEA-HG-LiOH solution (93 C.), is Considered to be somewhat undesirable; the flash point of the solution containing DPGME, on the other hand, is considered to be satisfactory. Both solutions had lower viscosities than the MEA-HG-LiOH solution, as desired; however, the advantages in viscosities cannot be regarded as sufficient to offset their somewhat unfavorable decontaminating activities.
Monoisopropanolamine (MIPA) can also be substituted for HG. This compound appears to have a low vapor toxicity and freezing-point data for MEA-MIPA mixtures indicate that the percentage of MIPA would have to be near to produce a freezing point of -25 C. or lower. However, MIPA is chemically similar to MBA and acts as a decontaminant as MEA does; thus, a high percentage of MIPA does not seriously affect the rate of decontamination, whereas high percentages of inert liquids, such as HG, PGME, and DPGME, will have serious effects.
A solution containing 3.6% of LiOH-H O in a liquid mixture of and 45% MIPA was prepared in the same manner as the other solutions of this invention and evaluated. The test results showed that this formulation offered two improvements over the original MEA-I-IG-LiOH solution: the new formulation freezes at least 40C. lower, and it has lower viscosities at both 0 C. and 25 C. It also has an acceptable flash point, and it destroys HD at about the same rate as the MEA-HG-LiOI-I solution. On the other hand, the modified solution is somewhat less effective for VX; it is similar in effectiveness to the MEA-HG-LiOH- H O-KOAc solution discussed previously but more effective than the other experimental solutions.
The evaluation of two decontaminating solutionsone consisting of 3.6% of LiOI-I-H O in a mixture of 55% of monoethanolamine (MBA) and 45% of monoisopropanolamine (MIPA), and the other consisting of 3.0% of LiOH-H O and 7.0% of potassium acetate (KOAc) in a mixture of of MBA and 30% of hexylene glycol (HG) are presented in Tables VI, VII and VIII. The evaluations consisted of determining the effects on two toxic chemical agents, GB and BZ, and two simulants of toxic biological agents, Bacillus circulans and Serraria marcescens; the effects on selected metals and nonmetals; the toxicity of volatile components to mice; the densities at 0 C. and 27 C. and the boiling points.
The rates of destruction of GB in stirred mixtures With each decontaminating solution at 0 C. and 25 C. were determined by enzymatic analyses. The volume ratio of the agent to the decontaminating solution was 1:5 in each test. The test results, summarized in Table VI, indicate that both decontaminating solutions are highly effective for destroying GB. The MEA-MIPA-LiOH-H O solution appeared to destroy GB somewhat faster at both temperatures than MEA-HG-LiOH-H O-KOAc solution; however, each solution destroyed 99.9% or more of the GB at both temperatures with only 15 min. of contact.
TABLE VI.DESTRUC'IION OF GB BY THE DECONTAM- INATING SOLUTIONS GB remaining after 1 The volume ratio of GB to the decontaminating solution was 1:5.
The destruction of BZ at 25 C. was observed in experiments based on infrared analyses. Approximately 0.1 g. of BZ was stirred with 2 ml. of each decontaminating solution for a period of about 30 minutes during which the BZ appeared to dissolve completely. One part by ,volume of the solution thus obtained was then diluted with nine parts by volume of chloroform, and the infrared spectrum of the final solution in a 0.5-mm. cell was recorded. The carbonyl absorption band that is characteristic of BZ was not observed in the infrared spectrum. The sensitivity of the infrared analysis would have permitted detection of B2 at a concentration of only 0.05 g./ml. Since the concentration of BZ would have been 0.5 g./ml. if no reaction had occurred, at least of the BZ had been destroyed by reaction.
The effects of the decontaminating solutions on toxic biological agents are shown by test results with Serratia marcescens and Bacillus circulans. Broth cultures of the organisms (grown in Tryptic soy broth) were collected and washed by centrifugation and suspended in physiological saline (0.85% NaCl). Tubes containing 9.9 ml. of each of the decontaminating solutions of Table VI either at full strength or at 70% of full strength after dilution with water, were inoculated at 25 C. with 0.1-ml. portions of the bacterial suspensions. Samples were removed immediately after inoculation and at 1- minute and 5-minute intervals thereafter. These samples were diluted with physiological saline in 10-fold serial dilutions and plated in Tryptic soy agar. The plates were incubated for 24 hours at 37 C., and then the colonies of bacteria were counted to determine how well the organisms survived the exposures to the decontaminating solutions.
The test results indicated that the Serratia marcescens bacteria were rapidly and completely killed by both decontaminating solutions at full strength and at 70% of full strength. No growth was observed in any of the cultures prepared from four serial dilutions.
The test results with Bacillus circulans, on the other hand, appear to show that neither decontaminating solution effectively killed these spore-forming bacteria, whether used at full strength or at 70% of full strength. Cultures from the first serial dilution showed no growth, regardless of the time of contact with the decontaminating solution; however cultures from the second serial dilution showed unihibited growth. The lack of growth after the first dilution was attributed to inhibition by the concentration of the decontaminating solution that was present, not to the absence of viable cells.
The corrosive effects of the decontaminating solutions on various metals were evaluated and shown by determining the losses in weight of metal specimens during total immersion. The specimens were 1 x 4-inch panels from sheets about 50 mils thick. Each panel was immersed at 25 C. for days. The losses in weights of the various specimens, listed in Table VII show that the three types of aluminum were the most severely attacked. Relatively minor changes in brass, copper, the magnesium alloy, and steel 1020 were observed; with no changes in the titanium alloy, stainless steel 301, or Unitemp 1753. The weight losses of the aluminum materials were markedly greater in the MEA-HG-LiOH-H O-KOAc solution than in the MEA-MIPA-LiOH-H O solution.

The effects of the decontaminating solutions on four types of nonmetallic materialswool fabric, butyl rubber sheeting, Plexiglas, and enamel paint on wood or metalwere observed by visual inspection after 24 hours of immersion at room temperature. Both solutions caused weakening and discoloration of the wool and partial detachment and discoloration of the enamel paint. Neither had any discernible eifect on the Plexiglas or the rubber sheeting.
The toxicities of vapors from the two decontaminating solutions of Table VI were determined by exposing two groups of five female Swiss mice and two groups of five male Swiss mice to the vapors for 24-hour periods. In each exposure, five mice were placed in a desiccator and supplied with air containing the vapors from one of the solutions. Approximately 50 ml. of the solution was stirred in a container at room temperature, and the air was swept at 1 l./min., first over the surface of the solution and then through the desiccator where the mice were confined. None of the animals died during the 24-hour period of exposure. Furthermore, none died during a 3- or 4-day subsequent period of observation under normal environmental conditions.
Test results showing the densities and boiling points of the two solutions of Table VI are listed in Table VIII.
TABLE VIII.DENSITIES AND BOILING POINTS OF THE DECONTAMINATING SOLUTIONS The data presented herein indicates that either the MEA-MlPA-LiOH-H O solutions or the MEA-H G-LiOH H O solutions of this invention are satisfactory decontaminants for chemical warfare agents such GB, VX, HD
10 and BZ and biological warfare agents, except the sporeforming varieties.
Although the formulations from Table VI appear to attack aluminum materials more rapidly than the other formulations, it does not appear that the maximum rate of attack observed is too high to be accepted; the maximum weight loss of an aluminum material listed in Table VII, 52 mg in 15 days for a 1 x 4-inch specimen, corresponds to an average penetration on one surface of only 0.0004 cm. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the present invention provides an effective solution for countering the effects of chemical and biological warfare agents. The decontaminating solutions prepared in accordance with the concepts of this invention and containing a strong lithium base, such as the hydroxide or the aminoethoxide dissolved in a binary MEA solvent solution, are most effective against chemical Warfare agents such as VX, GB, HD and toxic biological warfare agents such as non-spore forming bacteria.
The invention has been described with particular reference to specific embodiments thereof. It is to be understood however that the description of the present invention is for the purpose of illustration only, and it is not intended to limit the invention in any way.
What is claimed is:
1. A solution for the effective decontamination of chemical and biological warfare agents consisting essentially of a mixture of a binary solution of monoethamelamine and a solvent selected from the group consisting of hexylene glycol, monoisopropanolamine, propylene glycol monomethyl ether and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether. together with a minor amount of a lithium base material selected from the group consisting of lithium hydroxide and metallic lithium wherein said monoethanolamine and said solvent are present in a ratio range of from about 35:65 to about :25 and said lithium base material is present in molar amounts of about 0.5 to 1.0 M.

Importance of detailed records and reporting
The case of Cifci and Others v Erbil and Others (2012) concerned an unincorporated charity for the Alevi community based in London and it emphasised the importance of good administration in evidencing governance decisions.
The charity adopted a constitution in 1994, under which all persons over the age of 18 and working in London had the right to be members of the charity. An attempt was made to change the constitution in 2006, significantly restricting the eligibility for membership and extending the objects clause. A dispute then arose in 2009 that ultimately required the court to consider whether the constitution prepared in 2006 had been effectively adopted. It was held that as there was no evidence that the new constitution was ever approved by the members at an AGM or EGM (as would have been required in order to change the constitution), the Charity remained governed by the 1994 document…

Libyan militia accuses Egypt, United Arab Emirates of airstrikes
Two unidentified airstrikes targeting Islamist militia positions in Libya's capital killed 15 fighters and wounded 30 on Saturday. A senior militia leader accused Egypt and the United Arab Emirates of being behind the attacks on their posts.
The mysterious airstrikes were the second within days to target Islamist militia posts in Tripoli. They have fueled speculation that foreign powers are covertly intervening in Libya's militia violence because its air force does not possess the guided ordnance apparently used in the strikes and the country's army is reeling from weeks of intense fighting driven by polarized politics.
The violence in Libya is rooted in the empowerment of militias after successive transitional governments since the 2011 ouster of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi depended on them to maintain order in the absence of a strong police force or a unified military.
A militia leader said the warplanes targeted the Interior Ministry and several militia positions, setting fire to a warehouse. He said two sons of the head of the military council of Misrata militias, Ibrahim Bin Rajab, were among the wounded.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
Militia spokesman Mohammed al-Gharyani said more than 30 fighters were wounded in the airstrikes but that the militia had not abandoned its positions, including the Interior Ministry, the army headquarters and the military police headquarters.
Al-Gharyani said militia fighters from other areas and towns were joining the Misrata forces and "our response will be severe."
Similar airstrikes carried out on Monday also targeted camps and areas occupied by Islamists militias from Misrata and allied groups.

This fic is the gem of all gems found in the SasuHina fandom...pity it's incomplete... :_(
| Guest chapter 24 . 8/5
The best sasuhina fic ever written...I really hope you haven't given up on it...my mind tells me to give up on this fic...that it is an incomplete masterpiece, yet I keep returning, out of love for this story of yours. Given the pathetic ending of the manga, I can't help but wish that people like you continue publishing their works, so that we readers can live in realm of well written fanfiction rather than this so called "canon".
| Hyuuga Nala chapter 24 . 7/4
what a beautiful story :")
how about chapter 25 and the rest? will you update another chapter until this fanfict complete?
| Guest chapter 24 . 6/29

| OneTwoThreeFour1234 chapter 24 . 6/24
Even though in your profile you say that you will not give up on this story or Tag, I'm finding it very hard to believe. Right here you have an amazing story, and I would really hate to see you stop here. I don't really know if it's due to no motivation, unexpected life events, lack of inspiration, or what have you, but you have to finish this wonderful story. If not for yourself, at least for your fans! We love what you write, and we want to see you get to the finish line. Don't Give Up! Ganbatte! Stay Strong! Get your Butt in Gear! Fighting!
| DianaPana chapter 18 . 6/21
This is my first review so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say but I will try. I have fallen in love with your story and I'm so scared because it's almost done and I have no idea what I will do when I reach the end…I love the way you describe and tell the story and everything but you've broken my heart and it's beyond repair I have never cried so much at a movie, book, serial or fanfiction the past 3-4 chapters I've cried my heart out and I never felt so betrayed in my life I want to scream at you and everything how dare you kill Kakashi and even say he should have died in the anime ?! you're almost killing Neji! HE FUCKING DIED ONCE I can't bear to 'see' him ding again! I will read your story to the end because even if it's hurting me like hell I love it, but I want you to know that with your work of art you have broken a girls heart so bad, im not trying to make you feel guilty (maybe a little) but HOW DARE YOU?!
| Guest chapter 24 . 6/10
The notion you said about being old but still finish it, I just wanted to say that is not a very assuring fact...it is sad and disappointing that a great story with potential fails to see the end.
| super late guess chapter 24 . 6/10
hi, im sorry for being late here. i was pretty surprise when i read these main sentences in this story, that uchiha will be executed. that was quite interesting and that's what's made me sit here wondering when will you update the next chapter. i hope you'll have the time to continue on writing this one. because there's so much question spinning around my mind haha, thank you btw :)
| Amber chapter 1 . 6/1
Hi there, I know its a long shot that you'll see this but I thought I'd give it a try, I love your story. Its beautiful, and I think you are a very talented writer. Its just a pity to me to see that its unfinished. I was really looking forward to where you would take the story. The plot line is excelent and well thought out and you have developed the characters wonderfully. My only hope is that you might finish this story. I'll wait and keep checking in here to see if you do.
| Iam.kiya chapter 24 . 5/23
I really love this story please UPDATE please please!
| La fleur exquise chapter 24 . 5/20
Please please please update. I know it may be unlikely (considering how long its been since an update), but this is one of my favorite stories on . and am still holding onto a thread of hope about being able to know the rest of the story. All the different perspectives are dynamic and interesting. I would so love you if you started updating this again.
| laura chapter 24 . 5/19
Please please update! Your story is brilliant! Don't let it go to waste now! You're an incredible author and I know I'm not the only one who wishes to see this finished.

Dress-up, drama at Comic-Con
Comic-Con is the biggest convention in San Diego, and Saturday was its biggest day. The action generated buzz in ways expected and surprising.
The diverse sessions included a talk about "Spongebob Squarepants" and a discussion about black empowerment.
No Saturday at Comic-Con would be complete, of course, without the International Masquerade, where costumed revelers competed for prizes.
Another kind of drama took place when two men argued over seating for a program. One person was arrested after stabbing the other in the face with a pen.
The convention will wind down Sunday.

I have two SPID's running as transcations and below is what each one does among other things.
- Updates rows 1-10 from table 1
- .......
- Updates row 5 from table 1
- Selects rows 4,5 & 6 from table 1 and updates a row in table 2.
- ......
- ......
I'm facing a deadlock scenario where SPID A has updated row 4 and waiting for X lock on the clustered index to update row 5 and SPID B is in step 2 waiting for a S lock on the clustered index for row 4 which is in X lock by SPID A. There is also a non clustered index on table 1 but it does not cover the select query, so it looks up the clustered index. I'm assuming that even if I make it a covering index SPID A will hold a lock on the non clustered index making SPID B to wait on it. I'm considering escalating the isolation level to serialization so that SPID A which is more or less updating the whole table will have to wait to acquire its lock if SPID B has already started on its update to row 5. Also it will prevent SPID B from acquiring the x locks if SPID A has already begun. SPID A currently executes every 20 minutes and holds on to the transaction for about 10 secs.
What other suggestions would any of you have for me to get rid of this deadlock? Thanks.

"SadunKodagoda went above and beyond to deliver a great website design in this contest! The brief was complex and detailed -- I had very specific ideas about some layout and design..." morePost a Contest like this!
Attached are the wireframe and some content for my law firm website "Rescher Law, P.C." More info about me and my firm are at [url removed, login to view] (redirects to my LinkedIn bio) and [url removed, login to view] (LinkedIn bio for my firm). Where the wireframe says "OJR" at the top, it should say "Rescher Law, P.C." Also, I don't want a man with his arms crossed as in the sketch. It's just a placeholder.
The proposed website content is attached in three PDF files. "Website Content" is the main file, "Other Stuff Industry Expertise" and "Other Stuff Practice Areas" files provide supplementary content.
Some design parameters:
1. There should be 3-5 pages to the website: Home, Bio, and Contact must have separate pages. Practice Areas and Industry Experience should also have separate pages, but expanding boxes containing the lists can be included in the "Other Stuff" section.
2. The Home page shouldn't be very tall. When it loads, you must be able to see the following without any scrolling down: company name; middle section with boxes (unexpanded); ability to access the Contact page; ability to access info about Practice Areas and Industry Experience.
3. I like big, readable navigation buttons and the clean layout of [url removed, login to view] An example of a simple layout by a law firm is [url removed, login to view]
Important design issues:
1. The site must be tasteful, thoughtfully laid out, and uncramped. [url removed, login to view] hits those 3 points
2. A critical goal of the website is to be a call to action for prospective new clients to contact me.
3. THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT PARTS of the website are (1) how my firm name appears and (2) the design of the middle content area in the wireframe (boxes 1, 2 and 3). These boxes will expand to show more details. I need to see collapsed and expanded states designed. The bottom of the wireframe -- the area below the squiggly line -- demonstrates how I'd like these areas to expand. I'd like to see alternate designs for the expanded states.
4. THE KEY TO WINNING THIS CONTEST is the design of the middle content area in the wireframe (boxes 1, 2, and 3). You won't win this contest if any other part of the website design is the main focus of attention; you also won't win if the base and expanded states for those boxes don't work well.
5 Please don't use pictures of people (including pictures of me).
6. Please pay attention to my comments to other designers.
I'd expect JPGs or PNGs of each page/state and final PSDs to be delivered by the winner. Any fonts used must be open web fonts.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments.

BRAZOS COUNTY - The Brazos County Health Department is reporting a recent decline in the number of reported flu cases, though we're still in the middle of flu season.
A look at the county's reported cases of Type A flu since last October shows a pronounced spike around Christmas, before it tapers off to mid-February. Only 29 confirmed, reported cases were reported in Brazos County last week. That's down significantly from a peak of 351 in mid-December.
These numbers do not reflect reports of "flu-like" illnesses, which followed a trend similar to the Type A numbers. Though flu shots are not 100% effective, health experts say the vaccine is the most effective way of protecting yourself and your family. This year's vaccine covers the most common strains of the virus, including the hard-hitting H1N1 strand.

Located on an isolated reserve on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the Grand Bay Coastal Resources Center is minimizing its environmental impact, which recently earned the facility LEED-Gold. The $7 million, 20,000-square-foot center is "a green demonstration facility that teaches through its architecture what sustainable design is about, showing how to develop land responsibly in sensitive areas," said Jim Nicolow, director of sustainability at Lord, Aeck & Sargent, an architecture firm.
The new facility promotes stewardship of coastal resources using an integrated program of research, long-term monitoring, training, and education. Because it is located in a hurricane-prone area, the building is elevated 19.5 feet above sea level on a framework of galvanized steel trusses that sit atop pilings. This is a more environmentally friendly approach than bringing in dirt fill to raise the site, which would have altered its natural hydrology.
Nitrogen loading from failing septic systems represents a key environmental threat to the estuary. The Center boasts a greener alternative to conventional septic systems: an on-site, self-contained bio-filtration wastewater system that can treat up to 1,200 gallons of water daily uses aerobic bacteria to treat the building's wastewater to tertiary standards.
The building is also constructed from environmentally friendly materials. The exterior siding, which looks like cedar shake, is actually made of 95 percent recycled plastics, fiber and rubber. Beneath the siding is a baseband of fiber cement made from recycled wood fiber.
Another important sustainable aspect of the building's design is its resiliency features, which protect against damage or destruction from fire and hurricanes. Nicolow says, "with its elevated structure, extensive daylighting, operable windows with interior no-see-um screens (to keep them from blowing off during a hurricane) for passive ventilation, the building is habitable, even when power is interrupted for extended periods."

When no one wanted to risk exposure to the extreme cold last week, it was the perfect weather for the ice to thicken for ice fishermen. They're willing to brave the frigid temps for any fish they can drag through a hole in the ice.
But there's no joy in fishing on a frozen lake when subzero temperature grips everything.
Like other people who like to ice fish, I'm waiting for warmer days when I can venture out on Emerson Lake. I haven't been there in a year, since I last went ice fishing there on New Year's Eve. Out on the lake I felt surrounded by ice and sky and wind. The ice appeared in varied shades of blue, a ...

Published January 9, 2007
Alyce Hollander, 85, uses a butterfly machine to work her pectoral muscles Thursday at Club 50. Hollander said she used to weigh 250 pounds, but is now down to 127. She works out seven days a week at the club. "I keep active to make sure I'm using all the parts of my body," Hollander said. "I need to keep in my zone, because I have the tendency to over exert myself."
This is the 18th in a continuing series profiling area fitness centers and programs.
LAS CRUCES — Taking a new approach to fitness and nutrition changed Karen Greenstein's life.
After losing 150 pounds and leaving her job as an vice president of information technology for a Chicago corporation, she was looking for a new direction, she said.
This week, she opened Club 50, a national franchise that offers circuit training and nutritional counseling and programs for those 50 years old and up.
Members started signing up as soon as she opened her doors at 3850 Foothills Road, Suite #3, as fate would have it, the former location of a J. Eric Chocolatier shop.
"We've had people come in looking for chocolate. Boy, were they surprised," Greenstein said.
Rosario Jeremias of Las Cruces knew she was in the right place. She was working the circuit on opening day and said she is glad to have a fitness center near her home.
"I love it here, I'm a runner, so I'm always using my legs. I need a place where I can do upper body work. I like the music, too," Jeremias said.
Club 50, which currently has more than 40 franchise locations in the United States, offers a user-friendly 30-minute interval training plan. Members get a workout that combines both weight training and aerobic benefits as they make the rounds of machines that train various areas of the body. They march, run or walk in place on hydraulic pads between machines.
Recorded music and spoken cues tell when to move to the next station, eliminating the need to time or count repetitions.
"I designed the music myself. I've been downloading my own favorites from the '40s, '50s and '60s. I grew up in the 1960, and I love this music. I decided if I was going to sit here all day, I wanted have music that I wanted to listen to," Greenstein said.
Other touches also appear to Baby Boomer tastes, like framed vintage ads from Life Magazine and an Andy Warhol-style mural of Marilyn Monroe portraits.
Greenstein describes Club 50 as "a complete wellness program with a no-nonsense diet and nutritional program and an exercise circuit designed for men and women over 50. We use state-of-the-art hydraulic resistance equipment in a fun format that accommodates any level of fitness in a fun, easy-to-follow 30-minute workout."
She said that there are similarities to the popular Curves program, "but there are also significant differences. Our machines are adjustable and you can move the dials up and increase the intensity of your workout so you won't plateau. And unlike Curves, which is for women only, we have both men and women members."
Upon enrollment, each member gets a personal evaluation with a discussion of medical history, fitness and weight goals. If they want, members can be part of the nutritional program at no extra cost, with monthly weigh-ins and consultations.
"We start with a weigh-in and pictures and a medical history. We have four different programs, two each for men and women, one for weight loss and one for active adults. They follow it for 12 weeks and we monitor them and they get weighed and measured once a month," she said.
New members get a goody bag with vitamin supplements formulated for men and women over 50, along with samples of snacks, protein shakes, bars and fiber drinks that are available on the premises.
"I think it's wonderful and it's a very good workout. After three trips around this circuit, you're ready to go," said Greenstein's aunt, Alyce Hollander, of Las Cruces.
Hollander, 85, has been a regular at area health clubs and will assist Greenstein.
"I've been coming here to visit her for 15 years," said Greenstein, who moved to Las Cruces in July. I did a lot of research and decided I wanted to work with Baby Boomers. I love Las Cruces and people have been so nice. And I wanted to share what I've learned. After I lost 150 pounds, I needed a simple way to maintain the weight loss that fit my busy schedule. I found Club 50 and I've kept the weight off for three years."
Four years ago, she said, she weighed nearly 300 pounds.
"I was diabetic, had high blood pressure, acid reflux, neuropathy and my cholesterol was through the roof. Now I'm off the medications I was taking and I'm in better shape at 53 than I was at 40."
If Club 50 proves popular, she plans to open additional locations.
"I've had a lot of requests for something in the Picacho Hills area, so I might do that," she said.
Facilities include circuit training equipment, a stretching and toning area with mats and charts, changing room, restroom and storage for personal belongings.
Hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon Saturday.
Membership is $29 based on an annual contract, or $25 each for spouses who sign up together, plus a one-time membership fee of $199 which will be $69 for charter members who enroll by Jan. 31.
For more information contact Karen Greenstein at 521-1608, e-mail email@example.com, or visit online at www.club50fitness.com.

Orange Juice Climbs on Storm Threat; Cotton Surges; Sugar Slides
Orange-juice futures rose to a one-month high as severe weather in the Caribbean may threaten groves in Florida, the world's second-biggest citrus grower. Cotton and cocoa also advanced. Sugar and coffee slid.
An Atlantic tropical depression, the ninth of the season, may become a tropical storm later today, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory on its website. The system may grow to hurricane strength within 48 hours, according to the agency.
"The way the steering currents are looking for early next week, this potential system could bear down on the state," Jimmy Tintle, the chief executive officer at GreenKey Alternative Asset Services in Longwood, Florida, said in an e-mail.
Orange juice for November delivery rallied 4 percent to settle at $1.154 a pound at 2 p.m. on ICE Futures U.S. in New York. Earlier, the price reached $1.202, the highest for a most-active contract since July 19.
Two other Atlantic systems are being tracked by the hurricane center. A low pressure area over the far western Gulf of Mexico has a 30 percent chance of becoming a tropical system in the next two days, the NHC said. Another, 425 miles (684 kilometers) southwest of the Cape Verde islands, has a 60 percent probability of becoming tropical. Brazil is the world's top orange grower. The hurricane season runs through November.
Cotton futures for December delivery gained 3.3 percent to 77.3 cents a pound on ICE, after touching 77.49 cents, the highest since May 22. Also in New York, cocoa futures for December delivery advanced 1 percent to $2,433 a metric ton.
Raw-sugar futures for October delivery fell 3.5 percent to 19.78 cents a pound in New York, after reaching 19.75 cents, the lowest since June 25.
The prospect of a supply "surplus is still weighing on the market," Alex Oliveira, a trader at Newedge Group in New York, said in a telephone interview.
Arabica-coffee futures for December delivery slid 0.2 percent to $1.642 a pound on ICE.

I am interesting in the raw (or composite) metrics used to get a handle on how well a person can program in a particular language.
Scenario: George knows a few programming languages and wants to learn "foobar", but He would like to know when he has a reasonable amount of experience in "foobar".
I am really interesting in something broader than just the LOC (lines of code) metric.
My hope for this question is to understand how engineers quantify the programming language experiences of others and if this can be mechanically measured.
Thanks in Advance!
