Stocks Rally; Dow Reclaims 13,000
(AAPL - Get Report) stock jumped 1.7%. The company has reportedly received a huge iPad order from Barclays (BCS). Apple was also offering some moderate Black Friday discounts, such as an 8%-plus discount on the iPad 2, but the company's promotional efforts were labeled uninspiring by TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia.One of the biggest losers in the broad market was KIT Digital (KITD), whose shares plunged more than 60% as investors reacted to Wednesday's announcement that the company has to restate results going back to 2009 because of accounting errors and irregularities related to its revenue recognition policies. -- Written by Michael Baron in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Michael Baron.Apple's

Court of Appeal reverses judgment against GMSR's clients, finding no due process violation in charter school revocation proceedings
July 12, 2011
Today's Fresh Start, Inc. v. Los Angeles County Office of Education, et al
(2011) 197 Cal. App. 4th 436
(California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division One) [published]. Following administrative proceedings, GMSR's client, Los Angeles County Board of Education, revoked the charter of Today's Fresh Start, a charter school. The trial court ordered it reinstated. The court found that the revocation proceedings violated due process because they failed to include a formal, trial-type evidentiary hearing in front of a neutral hearing officer before the board made its decision. In a case of first impression, the Court of Appeal reversed, finding that the trial court had added a new layer of fact finding and adjudication to procedures provided in the Education Code, which neither the Education Code nor due process required. The Court of Appeal also addressed issues concerning exhaustion of administrative remedies in the context of charter revocation proceedings, as well as the role of the State Board of Education and local boards with respect to such matters.

The present invention relates to polyester films and to composite films for electrical insulation. More particularly, the present invention relates to a polyester film and to a composite film which are used for insulation of compressor motors in cooling systems such as refrigerators and air conditioners, are used for a variety of electrical insulation, contains reduced amounts of oligomers, improves set stability after assembly, facilitates confirmation of set assembly by being colored, and improves machinability and processability, and can reduce leakage of current.
Polyester films having high intrinsic viscosity have been conventionally used to reduce oligomers, and terminal blocking agents have been used to improve hydrolysis resistance of the polyester films.
Although various heat-resistant films have been used to simultaneously satisfy the above properties, the films still have some problems, such as increased cost, difficult set assembly, unsatisfactory stability after set, and insufficient machinability and processability.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-100363 discloses a heat-resistant, low-dielectric plastic insulating film having voids and a dielectric constant lower than a particular value. The film has a low dielectric constant to reduce leakage power dissipation in an insulating section caused by high-frequency trends of instruments. Low oligomer contents and ready set assembly when the film is used in electrical insulation, however, are not taken into consideration, and thus the film is not durable in practice. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-194773 discloses a polyester film having a specified apparent density and a tensile modulus, but use of the film in electrical insulation has not been suggested.
These electrical insulating films have the following problems.
(1) In view of global environmental protection, refrigeration media and oils causing lower levels of environmental pollution are being used. Further reduction in oligomers have been awaited in order to achieve this.
(2) Use of only heat-resistant films in refrigeration medium systems results in increased costs.
(3) When films are used in insulation of motors, they have insufficient machinability and processability (in thermoforming and slit bending processing), insufficient stability after set assembly (such as displacement and being loose), and insufficient visibility.
(4) Changes in refrigeration media and oils causes increased leakage of current.
It is an object of the present invention to solve these problems.
The present invention provides an electrical insulating polyester film having an apparent density of 1.37 to 0.85 g/cm3 and a tensile modulus of 2.0 to 4.5 GPa. The present invention also provides an electrical insulating polyester film having the above characteristics and a dielectric constant of 2.2 to 3.0.
The present invention further provides an electrical insulating composite film comprising a heat-resistant film laminated on at least one face of the polyester film, the heat-resistant film having heat resistance higher than that of the polyester film.
The present invention further provides an insulating system in which the electrical insulating polyester film or the electrical insulating composite film is used for electrical insulation in an environment comprising a refrigerating medium of partially-hydrogenated halogenated hydrocarbon as a primary component and a polar oil, and an hermetic-type compressor comprising a motor in which the insulating system is used for insulating an exciting coil.
Polyester used in a polyester film of the present invention is a crystalline thermoplastic resin composition which is polymerized by esterification, and such polyester is obtained by polycondensation of a dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component.
Examples of dicarboxylic acid components used include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, and diphenylethane dicarboxylic acid. Examples of glycol components used include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, and cyclohexane dimethanol. Among these, preferable acid components are terephthalic acid and naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, and preferably glycol components are ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
The melting point of the polyester is preferably 250� C. or more in view of heat resistance, and 300� C. or less in view of productivity. Examples of preferable polyesters include polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate, poly-1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate, and polypropylene terephthalate. Among these, polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate are preferable in view of balance between properties and cost. These polymers may contain other components as comonomers or blends.
The polyester constituting the polyester film of the present invention has an intrinsic viscosity [η] of preferably 0.6 to 1.5 dl/g, more preferably 0.7 to 1.4 dl/g, and most preferably 0.8 to 1.3 dl/g. Since the oligomer content is undesirably high when the intrinsic viscosity [η] is less than 0.6 dl/g, it may unsuitable for electrical insulation or may have insufficient long-term heat resistance. When the intrinsic viscosity [η] is greater than 1.5 dl/g, the undesirably high viscosity may cause unsatisfactory thermoformability.
The polyester has an M/P ratio of desirably 1.8 or less, preferably 1.4 or less, more preferably 1.2 or less, and more preferably 1 or less, since insulating resistance is improved at normal and high temperatures, wherein the M/P ratio represents the molar ratio of the total metallic elements (M) excluding polymerization catalysts to the phosphorus element (P).
The polyester film of the present invention is preferably a biaxially-oriented film in view of mechanical, thermal and electrical characteristics, machinability and processability, and apparent density.
The apparent density viscosity of the electrical insulating polyester film of the present invention is 1.37 to 0.85 g/cm3, preferably 1.3 to 0.9 g/cm3, and more preferably 1.2 to 0.9 g/cm3. When it is greater than 1.37 g/cm3, problems, such as an increased oligomer content, insufficient machinability and processability, and an increased leakage current, will occur. Although the reasons for the reduced oligomer content when the apparent density is decreased are not clear, it is probably due to concentration and segregation of the oligomers on the voids formed in the interior or on the inner wall. When the apparent density is decreased, the amount of the polyester used will be decreased in a film having a predetermined thickness and thus the absolute oligomer content will be decreased. Decreasing the apparent density, however, does not always decrease the oligomer content, the Y/D ratio described below is also an important factor. When the apparent density is less than 0.85 g/cm3, mechanical strength and impact resistance are insufficient in practice. For example, when assembled near an exciting coil of a motor (in a wedge or a slot liner), it may be broken. The above-mentioned range of the apparent density is achieved by controlling the ratio of voids formed in the film.
The electrical insulating polyester film of the present invention has a tensile modulus in a range of 2.0 to 4.5 GPa, preferably 2.5 to 4.5 GPa, and more preferably 3.0 to 4.5 GPa. When the tensile modulus is less than 2.0 GPa, the film does not have sufficient stiffness. For example, when the film is assembled near an exciting coil of a motor, it will bend. When the tensile modulus is greater than 4.5 GPa, the film has excessive stiffness; hence, it cannot maintain the shape in assembly by bending or curving, resulting in poor workability. The tensile modulus within the above-mentioned range can be achieved by the ratio of voids in the film and the drawing condition.
The ratio Y/D of the tensile modulus Y (GPa) to the apparent density D (g/cm3) of the electrical insulating polyester film of the present invention satisfies the relationship 2.5<Y/D<4. A high Y/D ratio means sufficient orientation, and orientation crystallization will result in a reduced oligomer content and improved heat resistance. When the Y/D ratio is 2.5 or less, problems due to the oligomer content and the heat resistance will occur. When the Y/D ratio is 4 or more, the film will be readily broken during drawing of the film, resulting in inferior film formability.
An example of a method in accordance with the present invention will now be described.
A polymer or fine particle which is not compatible with a polyester is added to the polyester, supplied to an extruder, and extruded from a T die to form a sheet. The sheet is heated to a temperature which is higher than the glass transition temperature of the polyester, and then drawn in the longitudinal direction. While the two ends of the film are fixed by clips, the film is introduced to a tenter so that the film is drawn in the lateral (width) direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction while continuing heating to a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature. The film is then annealed to form a biaxially-oriented polyester film, in which relaxation in the width and longitudinal directions may be applied, if necessary.
The above incompatible polymer or fine particle may be that which can yield an apparent density required in the present invention. Example of the incompatible polymers include polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, and polymethylpenetene. These polymers are not always limited to homopolymers, and may be copolymers thereof. Among these, polyolefins having small critical surface tension and small dielectric constant are preferable. Polypropylene and polymethylpentene are preferable in view of decreased apparent density, heat resistance, and decreased leakage of current.
These incompatible polymers are present as particles in the polyester. A compatibilizer may be added to control the size of these particles. For example, polyalkylene glycols and copolymers thereof, such as polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol can be used. Although surfactants also can reduce the size of the particles, the content must be within a range not causing deterioration of electric characteristics.
Examples of fine particulate substances include organic particles and inorganic particles. Examples of organic particles used include silicon particles, polyimide particles, crosslinked styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer particles, crosslinked polyester particles, and Teflon (registered trade name) particles. Examples of inorganic particles include calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide, and barium sulfate. It is preferable that a surfactant not be used with the fine particles.
The method of addition to the polyester is not limited. When an incompatible polymer is used, a compound of the polymer with a polyester resin may be supplied to a film extruder, or a polyester resin and the polymer may be blended in a film extruder. A blending process is preferable in order to avoid decreased intrinsic viscosity [η], and a mechanical and forcible blending process just before supplying the blend to a film extruder is more preferable in view of angle of repose.
When a fine particle is used, it is preferably added in a polymerization process. More specifically, it is preferably added to ethylene glycol. When calcium carbonate particle is added, it is preferable that a phosphorus compound also be added in order to prevent yellowing and foaming.
Although the thickness of the polyester film of the present invention is not limited, it is in a range of preferably 25 to 350 μm and more preferably 50 to 250 ηm in view of insulating characteristics and workability when it is used for insulation of motors.
The polyester film of the present invention may not have a single-layered configuration, but preferably has a multilayered configuration including a base layer and a surface layer laminated on at least one surface. It is more preferable that surface layers be provided on the two surfaces of the film to reduce curling of the film. Furthermore, it is preferable that the surface layer have an apparent density which is greater than that of the base layer in view of mechanical strength, impact resistance, and prevention of bending during setting (into a wedge or slot liner). In a multilayered film, each of the polyester resins constituting the base layer and the surface layer has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.6 to 1.5 dl/g. It is preferable that these layers be primarily composed of polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate. The Y/D ratio of the tensile modulus Y (GPa) to the apparent density D (g/cm3) of the film preferably satisfies the relationship 2.5<Y/D<4, as described above. In the multilayered film, the thickness of the surface layer preferably occupies 5 to 50% of the total thickness of the film in view of mechanical strength, impact resistance, and workability in assembly. It is preferable in order to prevent separation at the interface between the base layer and the surface layer that the multilayered film of the present invention be produced by melting polyester resins constituting a base layer and a surface layer, joining these layers, extruding them through a die, cooling them, and drawing the film in biaxial directions. The polyester resin for forming the base layer preferably contains a polymer or fine particle incompatible with the polyester resin, and more specifically a polyolefin, such as polypropylene or polymethylpentene.
The present invention also provides an electrical insulating composite film comprising the polyester film of the present invention and a heat-resistant film laminated thereon and having heat resistance higher than that of the polyester film, wherein polyester film has an apparent density of 1.37 to 0.85 g/cm3 and a tensile modulus of 2.5 to 5.0 GPa. Lamination of the heat-resistant film facilitates use of the film in fields requiring high heat resistance. The heat-resistant film is preferably laminated on the two surfaces of the polyester film in view of heat resistance and mechanical characteristics.
In combinations of the polyester film with the heat-resistant film laminated on the polyester film, a heat-resistant film having higher intrinsic viscosity [72] is used when these films are composed of the same types of polyester films. Examples of preferable combinations of different types of polyester films include a polyethylene terephthalate type with a polyethylene naphthalate or polyphenylene sulfide type, and a polyethylene naphthalate type with a polyphenylene sulfide or aromatic polyimide type.
The polyester resin in the composite film preferably has an intrinsic viscosity [η] of 0.6 to 1.5 dl/g.
The Y/D ratio of the tensile modulus Y (GPa) to the apparent density D (g/cm3) of the film preferably satisfies the relationship 3.0<Y/D <4.5, for the reasons described above.
The polyester film and the composite film of the present invention are preferably used in insulating systems for electrical insulation in mixed environments of a refrigeration medium composed of partly-hydrogenated halogenated carbon as a primary component and a polar oil. These films are more preferably used for insulating exciting coils of motors which are used in mixed environments of a refrigeration medium composed of partly-hydrogenated halogenated carbon as a primary component and a polar oil in hermetic-type compressors.
The electrical insulating polyester film of the present invention has a dielectric constant of preferably 2.2 to 3.0, more preferably 2.4 to 3.0, and most preferably 2.5 to 3.0, for the above purpose. The electrical insulating composite film of the present invention has a dielectric constant of preferably 2.4 to 3.0 and more preferably 2.6 to 3.0. When the dielectric constant is significantly large, a large leakage current is generated; hence, the instrument may not be safely used. When the dielectric constant is significantly small, impractical unbalance with mechanical characteristics may occur.
In order to solve problems of ozone layer destruction caused by Flon gas, Flon substitutes and refrigeration and air-conditioning systems using the Flon substitutes have been intensively developed, based on so-called "Montreal Protocol". In such cases, a refrigeration medium, so called a "Flon substitute" in which halogen is partly replaced with hydrogen, is used instead of conventional fully-halogenated carbon. The Flon substitute has bonds of hydrogen atoms instead of halogen atoms and has polarity; hence it is rarely used with conventional nonpolar oils and alkylbenzene-based oils because it is substantially insoluble with these oils. Thus, it is being used with polar oils, such as polyol esters, polyalkylene glycol, carbonate esters, ethers, and fluorine compounds. When a conventional polyester film is used in these mixed environments, it will generate undesirably large leakage currents caused by increased capacitance in an insulating system probably due to a high dielectric constant of a polar oil. When the polyester film or the composite film of the present invention is used in an insulating system, safety and reliability are improved due to decreased leakage of current. These advantages are noticeable when it is used for insulating of the exciting coil of a motor which is used in a hermetic-type compressor.
(1) Apparent Density
The apparent density was measured by an electromagnetic balance (SD-120L made by Kensei Kogyo Co., Ltd.).
(2) Intrinsic Viscosity [η]
A specimen was dried at 105� C. for 20 minutes, was weighed by 6.8�0.005 g, and was dissolved into o-chlorophenol while being stirred at 160� C. for 15 minutes. After cooling, the viscosity at 25� C. was measured by an automatic viscometer AVM-10S made by Yamato Lab-Tech Co., Ltd.
(3) Oligomer Content
Using R407C (AC9000, CH2 F2 :CF3 CHF2 :CH3 CH2 F=23:25:52) as a refrigeration medium and a polyol ester oil (VG32) as an oil, a specimen was placed into an autoclave at 150� C. and 35 kg/cm2 and was treated for 1,000 hours. The oligomer (cyclic trimer) content in the oil-refrigeration medium was determined by liquid chromatography and classified based on the following standards.
0.6 percent by weight or more: C
0.35 percent by weight or less: A
an intermediate: B
(4) Machinability
A film with a thickness of 250 μm was cut into a 10-cm�20-cm sheet. The sheet was rolled up along the 20-cm dimension and the 10-cm side was fixed with an adhesive tape to form a cylindrical shape. The cylinder was placed on a flat plate, another flat plate was placed thereon, and then deformation when a 10-kg weight was placed thereon was measured based on the following standards.
A: The shape did not change.
B: The shape changed slightly, but was near that of the original.
C: The cylinder was completely deformed.
(5) Leakage Current
Film samples were assembled to a motor as a slot liner and a wedge and a leakage current was measured in a combination of a refrigeration medium AC9000 and an oil VG32 based on the following standards.
A: Leakage current of 0.8 mA or less
B: Leakage current of 0.8 to 1 mA
C: Leakage current of 1 mA or more
(6) Heat Resistance
Specimens were exposed at 180� C. in an oven, and one was removed every 24 hours to measure tensile elongation. The heat resistance was represented by the time when the tensile elongation was one-half the initial value. The tensile elongation was measured by ASTM-D882-61T.
(7) Tensile Modulus
The tensile modulus was measured at 25� C. and 65% RH using an Instron-type tensile testing machine according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z1702.
The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the following EXAMPLES AND COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES.
In the presence of 0.09 parts by weight of calcium acetate as a catalyst, 85 parts by weight of dimethylene terephthalate and 60 parts by weight of diethylene glycol were subjected to ester exchange reaction. An ethylene glycol solution containing 0.20 percent by weight of trimethyl phosphate was added, and an ethylene glycol slurry of calcium carbonate of an average particle size of 1.1 μm was added so that polyethylene terephthalate had a calcium carbonate content shown in Table 1. Next, polycondensation was performed using 0.03 parts by weight of antimony trioxide as a catalyst to prepare polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.68 dl/g.
The polyethylene terephthalate was dried at 170� C. in vacuo, supplied to an extruder heated to 280� C., extruded through a T die, and then cooled on a cooling drum at 30� C. to form a cast film. The film was heated to 85 to 95� C., drawn by 3.3 to 4.1 times in the longitudinal direction, annealed at 220� C., uniformly cooled to room temperature, and wound to form a film of 250 μm.
Polymerization was performed as in EXAMPLE 1, except that calcium carbonate and trimethyl phosphonate were not used to prepare polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.68 dl/g.
Film forming conditions were completely the same as in EXAMPLE 1.
A sample was prepared as in EXAMPLE 1, in which polyethylene terephthalate had an intrinsic viscosity of 0.51 dl/g, and the calcium carbonate content and the film forming conditions were the same as those in EXAMPLE 1. When polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 1.6 dl/g was used, elongation was not achieved due to an extraordinarily high tensile stress.
Films were formed under the conditions as in EXAMPLE 1, in which 5 and 10 percent by weight of polymethylpentene and 0.5 percent by weight of polyethylene glycol as a compatibilizer were added to polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.68.
A film was prepared as in EXAMPLE 10, in which 5 percent by weight of polypropylene homopolymer was used in place of polymethylpentene.
A sample was prepared as in EXAMPLE 1, in which 10 percent by weight of calcium carbonate was added to polyethylene naphthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.75 and the longitudinal stretching temperature was 100� C.
A film was formed as in EXAMPLE 1, in which the same base layer resin as in EXAMPLE 1 was used and a surface layer resin not containing calcium carbonate was used. These were extruded through T dies of different extruders as a three-layered composite sheet. The total thickness was 250 μm, and the thickness of each of the two surface layers was 25 ηm.
A film was formed as in EXAMPLE 14, in which polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.75 was used as a polyester resin, and 10 percent by weight of calcium carbonate was added to only the base layer resin.
A film was formed as in EXAMPLE 14, in which 3 percent by weight of calcium carbonate was added to the base layer resin.
A film was formed as in EXAMPLE 14, in which polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.85 was used as a surface layer resin, and polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.68 and containing 10 percent by weight of calcium carbonate was used as a base layer resin.
Film configurations and test results of EXAMPLES 1 to 17 and COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES 1 to 4 are summarized in Tables 1 to 4. Since the polyester films of the present invention have low extracted oligomer contents, satisfactory machinability, and high heat resistance, these are preferably used for electrical insulation. Since most of them have low dielectric constants and small leakage of current, these can be safely used in new Flon systems. Although the film in EXAMPLE 4 does not have problems in performance, formation of the film was not stabilized due to a high Y/D ratio causing frequent breaks during elongation. In EXAMPLE 6, the tensile strength was just at the lower limit and thus had slightly unsatisfactory machinability. In EXAMPLE 9, since the intrinsic viscosity was 0.51, the extracted oligomer content was slightly high and thus heat resistance was slightly decreased. In COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 1, the apparent density was high and the extracted oligomer content was high. In COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES 2 and 3, the apparent density was high and the tensile modulus was low due to insufficient elongation; hence the extracted oligomer content, machinability, and heat resistance were unsatisfactory. In COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 4, the apparent density was excessively low and the tensile modulus was low; hence, machinability was unsatisfactory and the film could not be used for motor insulation.

A polyester film with a thickness of 188 μm was prepared under the same conditions as in EXAMPLE 11. A solution was coated onto a 25μm polyethylene naphthalate film by a gravure coating process in which the solution was composed of 100 parts by weight of heat-resistant polyurethane adhesive "Adcoat" 76P1 made by Toyo-Morton, Ltd., 8 parts by weight of hardener and 32 parts by weight of ethyl acetate, and the thickness after curing was 6 μm. This film was bonded onto the two faces of the 188-ηm polyester film at a roll temperature of 80� C. and a line pressure of 3 kg/cm, in EXAMPLE 18. A polyphenylene sulfide film ("TORELINA" made by Toray Industries, Inc.) was used in place of the polyethylene naphthalate film, in EXAMPLE 19.
Polyethylene naphthalate films with a thickness of 188 μm were prepared under the same conditions as those in EXAMPLE 13. In EXAMPLES 20 and 21, a 25-μm polyphenylene sulfide film and a 25-μm polyimide film ("KAPTON" made by DuPont-Toray Co., Ltd.), respectively, were bonded as in EXAMPLES 18 AND 19.
The film configurations and experimental results of EXAMPLES 18 to 21 are shown in Tables 4 and 5.
The composite films of the present invention have a satisfactory extracted oligomer content, satisfactory machinability, and high heat resistance. Since the dielectric constant is low, the leakage current is also low. Thus, these can be preferably used for electrical insulation.

Industrial Applicability
By using a polyester film having a particular apparent density range and a particular tensile modulus or a composite film provided with a heat-resistant film as an electrical insulating material, the film contains a low oligomer content, has low cost, high heat resistance, high impact resistance, superior machinability and processability, and assembling stability, and has superior visibility.
The apparent dielectric constant can be decreased, and thus leakage of current when a high-dielectric refrigeration medium is used can be reduced.

On March 12, 2016, the FMEL organised its first FMEL Ski Challenge on the ski slopes of Leysin.
It was a great opportunity for about fifty tenants to enjoy the ski slopes and sun of Leysin and participate in a parallel slalom team competition.
The day ended with a fondue at the Kuklos restaurant and a nocturnal descent back to the ski resort.
It was also a great occasion for our tenants to meet and interact with tenants from different houses or residences.

Why do you love steel types?
Steel types have the coolest designs all around, no doubt about it. They have deadly moves like Flash Cannon and Gyro Ball and can really pack a punch.Best of all they're unique - it's not just powering away with steel moves. Most of them have a second type,increasing the variety of their movepool. They're sturdy and powerful with few weaknesses. After seeing the almighty Skarmory in Emerald steel types had a spot in my heart as well :3. There moves when used look flashy and amazing.They have well all around stats as well if I might add xD.
pineapples are cool.

The Webb Middle boys basketball team opened its season on Thursday afternoon with a convincing 33-13 win at Franklin Classical. Wes Watson sparked the Feet offense by scoring four points in the first quarter, helping Webb jump out in front on a 6-0 run.
The Feet played add on in the second frame which was capped off by an offensive rebound and a 2-point put back by Wallace Fee at the buzzer.
The Knights trimmed the lead to just seven points in the third quarter before Tripp Mifflin drilled a 3-pointer to put Webb's lead back into double digits.
Jack North added five more points for Webb in the third and closed the game with a strong defensive effort in the fourth quarter.
"Offensively we started off slow, but Wes got some steals in transition that led to lay-ups to get us going. I felt like we were well-balanced offensively the rest of the game, and we played pretty good defense," Webb coach James Garcia said.
"We do need to improve our rebounding and our transition defense in order to have a competitive year, but I am encouraged by the team effort I saw in our first game of the season," said Webb coach James Garcia.
Webb gets next week off but returns to action on Nov. 28 at St. Andrews.

I learned so much!
I loved the prenatal workshop! I have been attending "regular" yoga classes, and I learned so much about how to make adjustments for myself and baby. It was also wonderful to simply be around so many others feeling similarly and have the freedom to talk and hear about so much more than the physical act of being pregnant! Thanks and Namaste!

Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State:
2015 Preliminary Data
March 2015
An estimated 2,368 pedestrians were killed in the first half of 2015, an increase of 10% over the same time period the prior year. The preliminary 2015 data were provided by GHSA's member State Highway Safety Office members. All 50 states and the District of Columbia provided data.
In addition to the state-by-state data, this report also analyzes recent trends in pedestrian fatality data and discusses state and federal efforts to reduce pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Learn More
Unbuckled in Back:
An Overlooked Issue in Highway Safety
November 2015
Most strategies for encouraging seat belt use by adults focus on drivers and front seat passengers, but rear seat belt use by adults is lower than front seat belt use and warrants attention. In 2013, 883 unbelted rear seat passenger vehicle occupants age 8 and older died in traffic crashes in the United States.
This report takes a close look at the issue by examining rear seat belt use rates, state laws and enforcement, and public education efforts. It makes recommendations for states to help boost rear seat belt use through programs and policies. Learn More

The New Teen Safe Driving Champions
October 2015
Teens spend a tremendous amount of time around adults other than their parents. This publication examines how these adults – coaches, teachers, law enforcement officers, doctors, and many more – have the opportunity to influence teen decision-making about driving and showcases several safe driving initiatives.

All proceeds from the cover and raffle will go towards funding the missions of The Toby Project and Stewie to the Rescue!
The Toby Project will end the killing of tens of thousands of adoptable dogs and cats each year in New York City's municipal animal shelters by preventing the births of unwanted dogs and cats. We will make New York City a true "no-kill' city by delivering free spay/neuter services to all five boroughs of New York City using mobile surgical vans specifically equipped for this purpose. By reaching out to targeted communities, our aim is to prevent the breeding of the very dogs and cats whose offspring account for most of the animals relinquished to our municipal shelters, where they are often killed.
Stewie to the Rescue! was founded in 2010 by a group of anmial lovers who recognized that the prohibitive cost of space, training, and health care is leading to the unnecessary abandonment and euthanization of scores of adoptable pets. To the end, Stewie to the Rescue! is dedicated to helping the neediest cases by providing emergency funding and raising awareness.

"To be under pressure is inescapable. Pressure takes place through all the world: war, siege, the worries of state. We all know men who grumble under these pressures and complain. They are cowards. They lack splendor. But there is another sort of man who is under the same pressure but does not complain. For it is the friction which polishes him. It is the pressure which refines and makes him noble." -- St Augustine.

The Fiat 500 is one of a growing number of retro-inspired small cars, including the MINI hatchback and Volkswagen Beetle, that recall iconic models of the past. But it's also a rival to conventional city cars, such as the Renault Twingo, the VW Group trio (the Skoda Citigo, Volkswagen up! and SEAT Mii) and another three related models (the Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108).
Elsewhere, the 500 has spawned larger 'spinoff' models, aimed at buyers whose families have outgrown the original's compact size. These include the Fiat 500L MPV and Fiat 500X crossover.
Summer 2015 saw the Fiat 500 get a refresh – although it doesn't look drastically different than before. Inside, the cabin is now a bit sleeker and less cluttered, while the range of trim levels has been simplified to make choosing the right 500 for you easier. An all-new 500 is expected in 2017.
There's no choice of bodystyle with the 500 – it's three-door hatchback or nothing. You can pick from three different engines, however. Our favourite is the little TwinAir petrol – a two-cylinder, 875cc engine available with either 84 or 104bhp that returns 74.3 or 67.3mpg respectively. Both versions are road-tax-free courtesy of their sub-100g/km CO2 emissions, while their fizzy nature suits the 500 well.
Other engine options are a rather old-fashioned 1.2-litre, 69bhp petrol and (if you go for mid-range Pop Star or top-spec Lounge model) an updated 1.3-litre Multijet diesel that produces 94bhp and should return up to 78.5mpg. A manual gearbox is standard, but if you need an automatic, it's a £750 optional extra.
City driving is, unsurprisingly, one of the 500's strong suits. It's obviously pretty compact, plus it has a 'City Steering' mode that makes the wheel lighter for manoevring in tight spaces and the nippy, economical TwinAir engine is also well suited for motoring around town. Out on the motorway, the 1.3-litre diesel is probably a better bet, though. Despite its small footprint, the 500 is deceptively roomy inside. Four adults can just about squeeze in and the boot is bigger than you'd think for a car of this size.
Equipment is pretty good, too: the entry-level Pop boasts Fiat's Uconnect infotainment system and stylish 'halo' LED daytime running lights, but we think it's worth moving up to Pop Star for useful kit such as air-conditioning, heated door mirrors, alloysand split-folding rear seats. Top-of-the-range Lounge gets you fancier features such as a panoramic sunroof, rear parking sensors, front foglights and a bigger infotainment system touchscreen.
In terms of ownership, the Fiat in general and the 500 in particular haven't had the best reputation for reliability in the past. On the plus side, it's a safe car, with a five-star rating from the crash-safety experts at Euro NCAP.

This review is from: Brother MFC-J6720DW Professional Series All-In-One Inkjet Printer with up to 11"x17" Printing and Wireless Networking
Pros: Print speed is excellent and the ink usage is outstanding when used in normal or draft mode. The scanning capabilities work pretty seamless with Windows 7. Works well as a photocopier and the sheet feeder is pretty useful. It can scan both sides of a page at the same time when using the sheet feeder which is helpful for scanning or copying documents. I haven't used the fax capability, so I can't comment there.
Cons: This won't provide a photo quality print even when using photo paper and the best settings. It is okay for business quality. The inks are not readily available at nationally known retail computer and office product stores and must be ordered online.
Other Thoughts: I'm bit disappointed in this product. The manual paper feed is a total joke and doesn't really work. I have to take the tray out and adjust it for envelopes and can really only put one at a time in the tray otherwise it will jam. Feeding heavier weight card stock often jams as well.

BAD - 2 out of 4 not working after 3 months
This review is from: Brother MFC-J6720DW Professional Series All-In-One Inkjet Printer with up to 11"x17" Printing and Wireless Networking
Pros: Looks nice. Good advertisements. Will print 11x16, albeit one sheet at a time.
Cons: These printer have been nothing but a problem since we purchased them. I bought 2 MFCJ6720DW and 2 MFCJ4510DW's for my company to be network printers (not all were bought from NewEgg). We replaced several working printers to have a single ink type to purchase. Before they would work on my Win2012 network we had to update firmware... not unexpected but it was time consuming and frustrating to have to troubleshoot the printer out of the box. Next, the ink ran out of one of them and we borrowed a cartridge from a spare 6720 and got back working until we could buy extra ink. Now we buy the ink and replace the cartridge on the spare machine and it won't even function without the "starter" cartridge. So now I have to order another type of ink cartridge even though I just bought 10 XL cartridges. Without the starter cartridges it won't even allow you to setup or access any menus. Dead in the water until you have "starter packs". A ridiculously limiting feature, I could complete the setup and just have the staff add the cartridge when they arrive, but you can;t access the menus until the "special" cartridge is installed.
Other Thoughts: I would say I have lost more than 20 man hours dealing with these printers faults within the first 3 months of ownership, not to mention the lost productivity. Right now only two are working out of four. Your mileage may vary but I'm broke down on the side of the road with these.

Great for the small business
This review is from: Brother MFC-J6720DW Professional Series All-In-One Inkjet Printer with up to 11"x17" Printing and Wireless Networking
Pros: 2-sided color printing, multi-page scanning, 11X17 page size/
Cons: I had difficulty with adding another wifi printer and deleting the other old Brother wifi printer I'm no longer using. I had to wipe & reload the software. Documentation could be better.
Other Thoughts: I have a one-man aviation consulting business and do a lot of proposals. This printer allows be to look like the big guys; very important with the business I do.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan | The country's prime minister tried Monday to keep his ruling coalition in power after a key party said it was defecting to the opposition, leaving the government without majority support in parliament.
The loss of the second-largest party in the coalition creates new political turmoil that could provide another excuse to put off a military offensive against Taliban and al Qaeda militants — something the U.S. has been pushing its allies in the Pakistani government to do.
Security, however, is largely the purview of Pakistan's powerful military.
The shift in the political landscape is not expected to lead to a collapse of the fragile government. But any additional instability could work against U.S. objectives for the war at a time when cutting the Taliban off inside Pakistan is critical for any lasting progress in Afghanistan.
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) said Sunday it was joining the opposition because of fuel-price increases, inflation and the generally poor performance of the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP). The government announced increases in gas and heating oil prices on New Year's Eve.
"The petrol bomb the government has dropped on the people of Pakistan has forced our party to part ways with such insane decisions," said Faisal Subzwari, an MQM leader.
MQM Cabinet ministers already tendered their resignations last week. Another, smaller party, the Jamiat Ulema Islam, announced in December it would switch to the opposition.
Without the two, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's ruling coalition will fall about a dozen seats short the 172 seats needed for a majority in the 342-member parliament. That means the fractured opposition parties — if they can work together — could sponsor a no-confidence vote in Mr. Gilani. If it passed by a majority, it would remove Mr. Gilani from office and possibly trigger early elections.
Analysts said Mr. Gilani had only weeks, if not days, to keep his coalition intact or scrape together a new one.
However, he appeared to have a bit of breathing room because it is unlikely the fragmented opposition will be able to close ranks and oust Mr. Gilani with a no-confidence vote.
Analysts say MQM may merely be trying to win concessions from the ruling party that would mainly increase its already significant power in the southern port city of Karachi.
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari is the head of the PPP, and his position as president would likely be safe even if the party loses its majority in parliament.
Analysts speculate that Mr. Zardari might be willing to replace Mr. Gilani with a prime minister more acceptable to other parties to avoid the PPP's losing power. But Zardari spokesman Farhatullah Babar said Monday the president backs Mr. Gilani and won't abandon him.

Lands End Lookout in San Francisco Aiming for LEED Platinum
Posted By Mark Boyer On September 16, 2012 @ 1:43 pm In Architecture | No Comments
Perched at the edge of one of the most impressive overlooks in San Francisco, Lands End Lookout is a new building at the edge of human culture and nature that provides visitors with a place to get a break from the cold pacific fog. The small, modern building, which is currently seeking LEED Platinum certification, brings a visitor center, cafe and much-needed bathrooms to the popular park, while limiting its impact on the natural landscape. As part of AIA SF's 9th annual Architecture and the City festival, Phoebe Schenker from architecture firm EHDD led a tour of the new building. Read on for a closer look!
Set upon a site overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the ruins of the Sutro Baths [2] in the cove below, Lands End Outlook was designed as a space for visitors to quickly step into to get a map, grab a snack, or use the restroom. It's a gateway to the outdoors, which is partly why the 4,150-square-foot structure is so small — visitors are expected to spend only a short amount of time in the building, on the way to or from the park.
During the tour, Schenker explained that EHDD [3] used passive design techniques to naturally heat and cool the building. The building doesn't just take advantage of natural daylighting, it also harnesses the prevailing winds, allowing air to pass under the building in order to naturally cool it. EHDD is a firm that specializes in aquarium design (the Monterey Bay Aquarium [4] is one of the firm's more famous commissions), and because of its experience working with salt water, the firm was able to design Lands End Lookout to withstand the salt in the air at Lands End.
San Francisco-based SURFACEDESIGN INC [5] was the project's landscape designer, and the firm added some very notable contributions. Because the park is operated by the National Park Service, all plants must be native. But, as Schenker explained, NPS's definition of 'native' is much stricter than most — all plants used in the landscape were germinated from seeds found on-site and grown in a nursery in the nearby Presidio. Additionally, reclaimed Monterey cypress wood was used in the benches; reclaimed cedar was used for fencing; and repurposed oyster shells that were found on-site were used as mulch.
The landscape isn't the only place were reclaimed materials were used, though; the building's siding consists of reclaimed redwood from an old saw mill on the north coast, the beautiful doorway is made of curly redwood that was salvaged from the Redwood Room Bar at the nearby Cliff House. And in one of the building's most interesting design features, salvaged replicas of original lion statues from the Sutro Baths have been installed on the building's exterior and at the entrance.
Solar photovoltaic panels on the roof provide about 11,000 kWh (more than 30 percent of the building's energy needs). Additionally, low-flow toilets were installed in the bathrooms, which are expected to save about 73,000 gallons of water each year. The building was originally expected to achieve LEED Gold [7] certification, but that estimate was a bit conservative — Schenker says that it is now expected to get LEED Platinum. [8]

You're right, that's for developers, try this: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

I logged a bug report with Apple at the link above. It's really annoying this hasn't been fixed yet. I can confirm it's not a switch between active/discreet GPU's because I've got a Mac Pro octacore with an HD 5770 (no discrete). Is anyone having trouble with NVidia cards? I looked at activity monitor and there's no drop in RAM performance after sleep, so I'm thinking it has to be a driver issue that needs resolving.

I concur it is ATI-specific. Kind of funny how Apple dropped NVidia because of their poor driver support and then goes and does something completely stupid like this. Two thumbs up. Has anyone had any luck with the iMac Graphic FW update?

Not ATI spesific; experiencing exactly the same on my mid-2011 MacBook Air 13.3" i7. Would downgrade to Snow Leopard, but the SL installer won't run on this.

It is definitely not ATI specific as I have nVidia 8800 GS. I would go back to Snow Leopard, but I don't want to lose all the photos, music and app data I've added in the meantime. I guess we'll just have to wait for Apple developers' mercy.

Thank god for this thread, I thought my brand new Mac Mini was a piece of crap until I read this. I was getting horrible performance in Chrome web browser, page rendering, even just displaying menu's had noticeable lag.
So I decided to reboot the system to see if something strange happened and now the whole system is responsive again. I am turning off sleep until I hear about a fix for this.

Still no solution to this. Things tried so far (at least):
-new user accounts
-reinstalling Lion w. restore user account from a Time Machine backup
-reinstalling Lion without restoring anything from a Time Machine backup
-resetting pRAM
-contacting AppleCare 6 times. They gave me a dedicated contact that doesn't answer emails.
-restarting WindowServer
I've done some benchmarking with XBench. That confirms that the problem seems to affect graphics performance, UI and Quartz tests give horrid results after waking from sleep.
However, it does not affect OpenGL performance.

Just to add one more thing to the list of remedies tried in vain:
I disabled resume to see if that was the culprit. No dice.

The problem appears even without user logging in: just put your Mac to sleep on login screen and after waking it up you'll see performance dropped already. Thus, this isn't something from the user level settings or applications.

I'll have to test that. If I dare, that is – it's too depressing as it is.

Tested: you are correct, there's no need to even login to reproduce the problem.

O X 10.7.1 on MacPro 2008 (8x3GHz) with ATI 5770 (had to upgrade from ATI HD 2600 XT to use FCP X).
Potentially similar problems after sleep - very slow browser/app store performance, lot of spinning wheels for no apparent reason.
This was a recent fresh install onto a WD Caviar Black 750GB drive - I trashed an earlier 10.7.0 installation as performance was poor, and have retained my old Snow Leopard boot drive as it's more stable in general.

AppleCare guy got back to me with an application called Capture Data. I was asked to let it run after the problem has occurred, but it gives an error ("Ditto: can't get real path for source") and never finishes. Nice.

You never know that might be a clue to the problem - see if they want a log from the application.

Sure, I'll check, but that'll take a while - they've been pretty slow with their replies. Not that I'm in the hurry, I've got plenty of time while waiting for my laptop to finish intensive tasks like scrolling a web page. :-)
