Mason City interview with Georges. Mentions that Hoiberg told him he was offered the job, but turned it down.
Sports | KIMT TV 3
Hoping Niang had CFH's permission to leak that little nugget...

Whoa. Don't know if that makes me feel better that he turned it down, or worse knowing how serious NBA teams are about getting Fred.
And after saying that, Georges said he is confident Fred will be here for a couple years. That's not very long!!
Are you a member?
Makes me feel on edge that Niang would say that.
That's crazy if it's true.
Then again if NBA teams are already calling him after just 3 years as a head coach, he'll probably keep getting calls to coach NBA teams after just about every season. So I bet he'll be able to make the jump to the NBA whenever he feels like it's right for him.
I bet stories like this will be a recurring theme in off-seasons from here on out.
I hope the NBA keeps knocking. Means hes doing something right. Hoiberg isnt going to jump ship anytime soon.
eh, whatever.
Huh... I wonder if that was how that interview was "supposed" to go.

Better. I know the roster is a mess but that is a great job if given the proper timeline.
Did KIMT of out Mason City just "break" news?

It only confirms in my mind that Fred likes what he has at ISU. As long as Fred is alive, he will always have the opportunity to coach in the NBA. Chances to coach at your hometown and alma mater don't open up very often. If he leaves and is fired after 3 years, there is no guarantee he will be able to come back to ISU and he would really put the AD in a tough bind.
A couple things:
-Yeah, if that was a comment that was supposed to stay at the basketball complex, I'd love to hear how Fred followed up with Georges. :)
-Scary info, but encouraging to know CFH is staying. The Celtics is a great job. But, we can't crawl in Fred's head, a job like that may also have much greater scrutiny.
-The good thing about Fred is he is a man of his word and has tons of character. If he did tell a player or recruit "i'll be here" I think that is a pretty solid promise barring a MAJOR change (new AD that doesn't like him, etc).
-Get used to these scares...similar to Captain Kirk in IC a few years ago when the NFL came calling each year. I know at one time he basically came out and said, "what do I need to do/say to let you know I'm committed." (but, hopefully he'll go to the NFL soon due to his unemployment)
I think we all know that Fred will go to the NBA at some point. With his parents, in-laws, and kids all in town we are on bought time right now. I am just going by with what I think: he goes after most of the kids are graduated from high school. We might luck out with a double McDermott situation, if one of the boys is good enough to play bball, but I don't know them at all.

TUCSON, Ariz. – The Arizona women's swimming and diving team opened up the season with an impressive 204-96 win over Utah on Saturday inside the Ute Natatorium. Meanwhile, the men's team dropped a narrow decision to Utah, 152-148.
On the women's side, the Wildcats got off to a quick start by earning a victory in the 400 medley relay. The team of Bonnie Brandon, Emma Schoettmer, Ashley Evans and Taylor Schick won the event in 3:46.65.
Later, the Wildcats picked up significant points in the 200 free as they had the top-four places. Margo Geer took the victory in 1:51.42 followed by Grace Finnegan (1:53.47), Leticia Lelli (1:53.74) and Taylor Schick (1:54.56). Geer also won individual titles in the 50 free (23.22) and 100 free (50.22).

Schoettmer kept the momentum rolling for the Wildcats as she won the 100 breast in 1:04.24. Later on, she also won the 200 breast in 2:16.80.
Evans took the top spot in the 200 fly (2:01.97) followed by teammate and newcomer Elizabeth Pepper (2:02.59). Pepper won her first event as a member of the Wildcats as she claimed the 100 fly in 55.97.
Meanwhile, defending NCAA champion Samantha Pickens earned the title in the 1m diving competition with 295.73 points. She also finished second in the 3m.
To close out the day, Arizona took home first place in the 400 free relay as the team of Geer, Finnegan, Lelli and Schick touched in 3:24.73 to win by more than five seconds.
The Arizona men also got off to a good start to the day as the team of Michael Sheppard, Kevin Cordes, Giles Smith and Brian Stevens won the 400 medley relay with a time of 3:19.33.
Freshman Tyler Fowler tacked on nine more points for the Wildcats early on as he won the 1000 free with a time of 9:47.07 for his first collegiate victory.
Sheppard claimed a victory in the 100 back with a time of 50.17 to go along with his victory as member of the 400 medley relay team.
Defending national champion Kevin Cordes had no trouble in the 100 breast as he touched in 55.86 to take top honors by more than three seconds. Cordes later ran away from the field in the 200 breast with a time of 2:01.30.
Sophomore Michael Meyer picked up a victory in the 200 fly with a time of 1:52.46.
Senior Giles Smith earned his first individual victory of the season as he swam the 100 fly in 49.85. Smith's victory was the last of the day for the Cats.

I received an Email from campaignforliberty.com are they a legit and can be trusted group? This is part of the letter should action be taken on this or is this just fluff?
Next week, the House GOP will hold a vote to defund ObamaCare and then hold a separate vote on a Continuing Resolution (CR).
Then, both bills will go to the Senate, where Harry Reid will make sure the bill defunding ObamaCare gets defeated and the big-spending CR gets passed.
If the House leadership gets away with this, we will have lost our best chance to stop ObamaCare before the mandates and subsidies fully kick in.
So please call John Boehner and your representative TODAY and tell them to vote NO on the rule for the Continuing Resolution unless the rule allows for more than a symbolic vote to defund ObamaCare.
You can reach John Boehner and your representative at:

Government Information:
Why use government information in your research?
The United States government is one of the largest publishers in the world. It produces a vast amount of information on a multitude of subjects from astronomy to zoology in formats as diverse as print materials, online materials, microform, video cassettes and more. Whatever your topic, the chances are good the government has produced something on it. Government information is considered authoritative and accurate, unlike some material found on the Internet. Census data, congressional hearings, Department of Education journals, tax information and court decisions are just some examples of items that might prove useful in your research. For example, if you are doing research on a health related topic MedlinePlus might be a great place to start, as their database contains thousands of research related articles from both the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Also, the government collects statistics on just about everything and is a wonderful resource for getting statistical information to support your research. In addition, you have already paid for government information through your tax dollars so make use of it! Generally speaking, most government information is copyright free and can make a great addition to supplement other classroom materials.
How do I get access to this information?
Government information sources can be accessed in different ways depending on format and location. Many materials, such as ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) documents, can be found in the UMUC databases and on federal government Web sites such as GPO Access. Others are found only in print or other formats such as microform in Federal Depository Libraries. The McKeldin library at the University of Maryland College Park is the Regional Federal Depository library for Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia and as such receives all materials published by the Government Printing Office. Increasingly, the trend is to produce more and more materials electronically; however, some materials, such as maps, will still be available in print formats.
Take the Tutorial:
Take the tutorial (click next, below, or pick a module from the left sidebar) to sharpen your skills in finding government information and when you are finished take the quiz to see how much you have learned. A subject guide of government Web sites is also provided to help you locate information on specific topics.

News: Pasadena City College Wants You To Fight the Flu!
Pasadena City College's Student Health Services has some important information about this season's flu for students, faculty and staff.
According to Jo Buczko, coordinator of PCC's Student Health Services, you should get a flu shot if you are not already ill. The rapid and severe onset of the following symptoms suggest that you have caught the flu: severe body aches, high fever, sore throat, chills, runny nose, and cough. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should stay home and rest. Drink plenty of water and other clear liquids to prevent dehydration. Treat a fever and other symptoms with medicines you can buy at a store. And if there are people in your house who aren't sick, avoid close contact with them so they don't catch it. If you are ill, you should stay away from others for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone without the use of medicine.

Nespresso and the OEM
Nespresso and the event
On September 5 2010 you were invited to the Omega European Masters in Crans Montana in the company of our ambassador, José Maria Olazabal.
To retrieve your photos, please click here.
An enchanting setting, nestled amongst the Swiss Alps, which gaze down upon the best golfers in the planet.
The Omega European Masters, which unfolds this year between the 2nd and the 5th September, is an essential part of the PGA circuit. This competition is in effect decisive as it constitutes the first qualifying tournament for the Ryder Cup, the international tournament held every two years which pits the best European and American golfers against each other.
The tournament has been organised for 22 years by the spirited Yves Mittaz, who has always lived up to his promises. The course dreamt up by the mythical Spanish golfer Severiano Ballesteros offers the players wide fairways and greens which are particularly difficult to negotiate.
Ballesteros, is a name forever linked to the European Masters in Crans-Montana, since 'Seve' won the tournament three times, the first of which was in 1977 at only 20 years old. Other great players of the small white ball are equally entrenched in the memories of Crans-Montana, like Nick Faldo (1983), José Maria Olazabal (1986), Colin Montgomerie (1996), Ernie Els (2003), Luke Donald (2004) or even Sergio Garcia (2005). Nespresso has been happy to be associated with this prestigious tournament, providing the official coffee for close to 20 years.

Notify your legislator about deadbeat banks
As many of you know, homeowners (not in mortgage foreclosure) are entitled to a 30 day (condos) and 45 day (HOAS) notice of intent to lien and another 30 /45 day notice of the association's intent to foreclose for unpaid assessments. Lately I have seen many games played by banks/REOS – whether ineptness or deliberate, I don't know. Regardless, banks are sophisticated enough to know that when they foreclose on a property they owe assessments, at the very least from the certificate of title forward. Yet I have noticed a pattern of asking for estoppels the last day of the grace period, hoping to extend it out ad nauseam. Associations should not be required to carry deadbeat banks. Banks do not get to wait until and unless the property sells to pay assessments. Associations should not tolerate this, and neither should our legislature. Who are our legislators really helping – I bet they get plenty of lobbying from banks. They need to remember that we the people (real breathing human beings) are also their constituents. It is high time they do.
Are you tired of hearing about deadbeat homeowners? How about deadbeat banks? Banks are not consumers and do not need consumer protection. Banks are well aware that they owe assessments ongoing from the certificate of title and NOT when they sell the property. There should be an express exemption from the notice requirements in both 718 and 720, for assessments owed after the property is transferred to the bank or institutional lender. Banks and institutional lenders that obtain title should be required to begin paying ongoing assessments within thirty days or face lien and foreclosure with no further notice. There should be no additional grace period before the association is entitled to record a lien and file a lawsuit for damages or foreclosure.
Right now, 718.116 (1)(c) requires the person acquiring title to pay amounts owed within 30 days after transfer of title. Failure to pay entitles the association to file lien and proceed to foreclose. This provision is not contained in chapter 720 for HOAs and should be. I would urge all readers to contact their legislators and demand that 718.116 (1)(c) be incorporated into the HOA statute, and that banks be exempted from the notice requirements in Chapters 718.116, 718.121 and 720.3085, for ongoing assessments incurred after the bank or institutional lender obtains title. I particularly encourage you to contact Representative Moriatis because he is intimately involved in legislation regarding associations.
It is not just foreclosures that are harming associations. Banks' refusal to pay assessments when they own the property is equally harmful. Banks know full well that as owners they owe assessments. Routinely, they wait until the property sells, expecting the association to carry them in the interim. This is not right. STOP DEADBEAT BANKS.

Java Development News:
Improving Developer Productivity with Lightweight Domain Specific Modeling
By Patrik Nordwall
01 Apr 2006 | TheServerSide.com
The way software is developed today is rather primitive and is not as effective as can be. When trying to automate this process it often becomes too complicated.
Programmers tend to frequently do trivial coding just to build up a skeleton. It is tedious and error prone. After a while it also becomes a maintenance burden, since a change in one place (e.g. addition of a new property/type) ripples into several other classes, interfaces or configuration files.
For example a design with Abstract Factory [15] and separation of interface and implementation of the factory and the products is sometimes a good design decision. However, it has drawbacks. Assume that we need 3 factories with 10 products each, and 2 different implementations of the products (e.g. real and fake). This ends up in 99 classes!
It might be considered trivial copy paste, replace programming. Yes, but what if you need to change the way the products are defined or implemented. E.g. introduce command pattern in the interface of the products or template method in the implementation. More copy/paste... To me it is the #1 bad smell - duplication.
The idea for solution is to use a domain specific language (DSL) that fits the problem domain and generate realization with specialized code generators. It raises the level of abstraction and automates a lot of otherwise hand written code. This is not a new idea, but it can be difficult to make it work without introducing too much complexity.
An efficient approach is to be in control of the DSL and the code generation tools. The tools should be adopted to fill the needs of your system. As developer you will define the DSL and implement the code generators yourself. Further on, it will make you feel comfortable with the result, since it is under your control. This is a different approach from many of the general purpose Model Driven Architecture (MDA) [9] tools that are popping up in this area. Vendor specific code generation tools often look good at the first demo, but later on turns out to be inadequate and hard to evolve as the requirements changes. . In contrast, when you develop the code generators yourself you can always change them when it is needed.
The toolset used in this article and shown in Figure 1, "Overview" should only be seen as an example of how to implement the approach. You have to decide which tools are appropriate for your organization.
Figure 1, "Overview" illustrates the different parts of the approach:
ArgoUML can be used to define the DSL model. As developer you design the DSL model to fit the problem domain.
You convert the ArgoUML model to Ecore, which is the model format in Eclipse.
You will also develop the code generators yourself, using JET templates, which is a code generation plugin to Eclipse.
The Ecore model is the input to the templates. You define the mapping between model elements in the Ecore model and the JET templates with Merlin, which is another Eclipse plugin.
The final result is the generated code.
The approach presented in this article can be seen as a lightweight variant of Domain Specific Modeling (DSM) [10]. DSM is targeted at large scale projects and especially product families. This approach is for small to medium size projects (< 10 developers, < 1 year). It tries to cut the investments and learning curve to a minimum, by using a pragmatic solution.
It must be easy to change and add more code generation patterns as the need arises. The investment in development of the code generator must be low and the payback time short. It should be possible to create a new code generator in a few hours.
The tools should not set constraints on the design or demand a specific design. You know the requirements for your system and should also be in charge of the generated code. You can fully utilize your design skills and system specific design decisions.
A subset of UML has been selected as basis for the DSL in this article. Ordinary elements of class diagrams are being used. You can use other notations, but UML has the advantage that there are a lot of tools that you can use as foundation of your toolset.
The model is not a 1-1 representation of the implementation. The model is a high level abstraction that is the input for the code generation. It should be as simple as possible. The code generation templates are custom made for your problem and your model. Therefore the model doesn't have to contain everything. Some information is easier to place in the templates, e.g. naming conventions. Simplicity is important. It doesn't have to be a general purpose solution that must be able to handle all strange situations. You are in control of both the DSL model and the templates and should choose the simplest solution.
The DSL model is a concrete model and there is no need for defining a meta model. Also, there is no need for formal model transformations based on meta models. This is a major difference from the ideas in MDA, which tools are intended to be general purpose tools made by tool vendors. Therefore they might need to use the complex theory of model transformation.
The purpose of the DSL model is to drive the development, not to be any documentation of the system. Use ordinary reverse-engineering UML tools for documentation purpose, but this reversed model is not a DSL model.
It is convenient to be able to mix generated code with manually crafted code, i.e. it should be possible to merge generated code with changes made to it. There are drawbacks with mixing as described in the pattern Separate generated and non-generated code [11]. You have to decide what approach is appropriate for your design.
The Lightweight DSM approach is perfect together with application frameworks, as described in the pattern Rich Domain Specific Platform [11]. Usage of design patterns and frameworks is a critical success factor for this approach. A well designed framework often requires that you plug-in specific implementations and add the glue (configuration files) to make things work together. Code generation can be an efficient way to reduce the size and complexity of the 'framework completion code'. This approach has an advantage over complex general purpose tools when it comes to adoption to specific frameworks. You can easily define DSL and templates in a way that fits your framework.
To illustrate how the Lightweight DSL approach can be used in practice we will use an example. More information is available in the referenced appendices, and the complete source code for the example can be downloaded.
The example is a simple system for a library of movies and books. It is "over designed" compared with the simple functionality it provides. The reason for this is to be able to illustrate many code generation ideas. It is not intended to be a best practice of design, but it captures some patterns that often are used in real applications. The design patterns are not described in detail; please see the references for more information.
In the example some simple base classes and utilities are used together with Hibernate to illustrate how the approach can be integrated with application frameworks.
This section describes the design so that you get a feeling of where we are heading.
The core of the system is a Domain Model [12], see Figure 2, "Domain model". A Library consists of PhysicalMedia. Books and Movies are different types of Media, which are stored on a PhysicalMedia, e.g. DVD, VHS, paper books, eBooks on CD. A Media has Characters, e.g. James Bond, which can be played by a Person, e.g Pierce Brosnan. A person can be involved (Engagement) in different Media, actually a Person can have several Engagements in the same Media. E.g. Quentin Tarantino is both actor and director in the movie 'Reservoir Dogs'.
Repositories [13] are used to find/update domain model Aggregates [13]. The repository uses Access Objects [14], which implement the specialization needed for persistence. Access Objects have separated interface and implementation. Abstract Factory [15] is used to create instances of the Access Objects. Access Objects are implemented as Commands [15]. Hibernate has been used as O/R-mapping framework, and a generic set of Access Objects for common CRUD operations are part of the application framework.
In front of the domain model we have a Service Layer [12], which typically use Repositories to find/update domain model Aggregates. See Figure 3, "Overall design" .
Illustration of the normal execution flow can be found in Appendix: Sequence Diagram .
The following tools have been used in the example in this article; Eclipse 3.1, Java 5.0, EMF, Merlin, Argo2Ecore, ArgoUML, Hibernate, and MySQL. You need to install them to be able to run the example. See Resources [1] - [8] for more information.
These tools have been chosen for this article mainly because they work well together and are fairly easy to use. There are many alternatives and you have to decide for yourself which tools to use when implementing the approach.
The DSL model for this example consists of three parts; domain model, repositories, and services. In this example the DSL model is tailored for a rather technical system design domain. It is rather independent from the business domain. To leverage the full potential of DSM it is even better to use concepts from the business domain in the language. The reason for this is described in Why DSM? [10]
The class diagram in Figure 4, "Domain model" is the domain model in the DSL model. It defines classes, with properties and relations that represent the domain model. This information is used for generation of domain model implementation classes, Hibernate mapping and database schema.
There are two Repositories, for the Library and Person Aggregates, see Figure 5, "Repositories" . The repositories are modeled as ordinary classes with operations. This information is used for generation of Repositories, Access Objects, and Abstract Factories.
There is one service class that exposes the published interface to client applications. In the DSL model we define the service operations and eventual delegation to repositories, see Figure 6, "Services" .
ArgoUML is used to define the DSL model, which we convert to an Ecore model with the argo2ecore plug-in. It is done with a simple right click on the exported XMI file.
See Appendix: Ecore for some more information.
JET is used as code generation templates. JET is similar to JSP, so any knowledge of this should come in handy, see Appendix: JET Basics .
JET templates are defined in a separate Eclipse JET project, but
we don't need to package them as a plug-in. We use a helper class
to simplify the usage of the Ecore model from the templates. The
helper can provide any functionality you need, such as String
manipulation. The helper in this example is named
EcoreGenerationHelper. You can use it as a
foundation, but you should modify/extend it to fit your needs. Some
templates may need specific functionality and then you should
implement template specific helpers. An example of this is the
which is used for the Hibernate and DDL generation.
Tip: When developing a template it is convenient to use the preview pane, see figure in Appendix: JET Basics .
The Library example make use of 11 JET templates, one of them is Repository.javajet , and some interesting parts are described below.
The two repository classes in the DSL model are mapped to Repository.javajet and it generates LibraryRepository.java and PersonRepository.java Naming conventions are used to realize specific features. The input class must end with "Repository", and the part before that is used as part of the name in several of the classes. Package naming conventions are also defined in the templates.
The interesting part of Repository.javajet is the section that generates the methods. It generates code that delegates to the Abstract Factory and Access Object, but if the 'noaccessobject' annotation has been defined on the operation an empty method stub is generated, to be filled in by hand written code.
<%for (EOperation op : h.getOperations(eClass)) { // a few naming mapping conventions String mappedOpName = h.getMappedOperationName(op); boolean findById = (mappedOpName.equals("findById")); %> /** * <!-- begin-user-doc --> * <!-- end-user-doc --> * @generated */ <%=h.getVisibility(op) %><%=h.getTypeName(op)%> <%=h.getName(op)%>(<%= h.getParameterList(op)%>) <% if (findById) { %>throws <%=baseName%>NotFoundException<%}%> { <% if (h.getAnnotation(op, "noaccessobject") != null) {%> // TODO Auto-generated method stub throw new UnsupportedOperationException("<%=mappedOpName %> not implemented"); <%} else {%> <%=h.capName(mappedOpName)%><%=productType%> <%=h.getGenericType(op) %> ao = <%=h.uncapName(baseName)%><%=productType%> Factory.create<%= h.capName(mappedOpName)%><%=productType%>(); <%for (EParameter parameter : h.getParameters(op)) {%> ao.set<%=h.capName(h.getName(parameter))%>( <%=h.getName(parameter)%>); <%}%> ao.execute(); <%if (!h.getTypeName(op).equals("void")) {%> <%if (findById) { EParameter idParam = h.getParameters(op).get(0); %> if (ao.getResult() == null) { throw new <%=baseName%>NotFoundException("No <%= baseName%> found with <%=h.getName(idParam)%>: " + <%= h.getName(idParam)%>); } <%}%> return ao.getResult(); <%}%> <%}%> } <%}%>
Note: Note the convention to use typed Lists (generics). In the model
we use array types of the operations, e.g.
Media[] that is generated as
List<Media>. This mapping is implemented in the
getTypeName in the helper. This is
a typical design decision that is implemented in the templates as a
Detailed descriptions of the code generation of the other parts of the example system can be found in appendix:
The next step is to connect the model elements with appropriate templates. Merlin is used to define this mapping. It provides a drag-and-drop mapping user interface between model elements and JET templates. A model element is typically a class, operation or package, but it can be anything defined in the model. The model element will be the input argument to the template. It is also from the Merlin JET Mapping Model we start the code generation. See Appendix: Merlin Tools for more details.
Figure 7, "Generated code" illustrates how the code is generated by the JET templates with the mapped model elements as input arguments.
Figure 7. The Ecore model to the left is mapped to JET in the middle, and the generated code is to the right. Only some of the mappings are illustrated. Click on different parts of the image to see more details.
Some parts of the system are generated and some parts are hand written. The Lightweight Domain Specific Modeling approach doesn't push full code generation as important, something that DSM emphasizes. Instead we try to keep it as simple as possible. If it is easier to write the code manually it should be done manually. Also, it is important to be able to use best of breed IDE tools together with code generation, e.g. when debugging you must feel comfortable with the generated code.

Lithium is a light metal element usually classified as an alkali metal, in the same family with sodium and potassium. Like the other alkali metals, lithium metal does not occur in nature. It reacts vigorously with water, often explosively, producing hydrogen, and the strong alkali, lithium hydroxide.
Properties & Uses
A fundamental law of chemistry is that materials react at fixed ratios by weight. Lithium is the lightest metal, atomic number 3, and the third lightest element after hydrogen and helium, two gaseous elements usually used in balloons.
The very low atomic weight gives lithium the highest reactivity by weight. Hence, it is preferred in energy storage applications like batteries. Indeed, lithium batteries especially for electric vehicles is the applicaton most often cited as interesting to investors.
Lithium has been known for a long time. It is often used in the manufacture pharmaceuticals. Derivatives like butyl lithium are strong bases used in alkylation--to build carbon chains. Lithium aluminum hydride is a strong reducing agent. Lithium carbonate is an orphan drug used to treat bi-polar disorder. Lithium aluminum hydride has also been suggested as an agent to store hydrogen in a reactive form.
Lithium metal dissolving in liquid ammonia is a reducing agent known as Birch Reduction. It is used to convert cold pills (pseudoephedrine) to methamphetamine. "Meth cookers" are said to use lithium batteries as a source of lithium and stolen, fertilizer grade, anhydrous ammonia.[[1]]
Lithium is not a rare earth element.
Three companies, SQM, Rockwood's Chemetall and FMC, produce 60 percent of world's lithium carbonate. The only pure-play is Australia's Talison Lithium (24% share). Numerous penny stocks also claim to produce lithium. On Yahoo Finance the word "lithium" in the ticker look-up box turned up 72 listings.
In May, 2011, Albemarle announced plans to recover lithium from the brines they process for bromine in Arkansas. An article in C&EN indicated that Chemetall, FMC, and SQM already recover lithium from brines, but the lithium concentration found in South American brines (Chile, Argentina) is higher than those in Arkansas (1400-1500 ppm vs 100-300 ppm). Albemarle is believed to be developing a resin based concentration system which they have pilot planted. In 2014, Albemarle announced plans to acquire Rockwood. In 2015, Albemarle was reported to be commissioning a $200MM lithium carbonate plant in Chile--presumably an expansion of the Lithium Corporation operation acquired from Rockwood.
There is at least one lithium ETF: Global X Lithium etf (ticker: LIT). The fund tracks the Solactive Global Lithium Index. Major holdings include Chilean miner Sociedad Quimica y Minera (SQM)(20.16 percent), "FMC Corp (FMC) (16.67 percent), an agricultural and industrial chemical company; and Rockwood Holdings (ROC) (7.93 percent), a producer of lithium compounds." Battery producers like A123 are minor components.
Lithium Batteries
As noted above lithium batteries are of interest due to their high energy per unit weight potential. They are well known in rechargeable power tools, etc., and increasingly in laptop computers, but battery fires have been a concern. Electric automobiles are a major growth segment. Safety issues with batteries for the Chevrolet Volt have been in the news.
Like lead, when used in batteries, lithium is not consumed. Once markets mature, most lithium will be recycled. Continuing demand will replace only lithium unrecoverable or lost in handling. But for electric autos, that day may be far in the future.
An article in the Oct 17, 2012, issue of the Wall Street Journals lists recipients of grants for advanced batteries from the US Department of Energy as follows--
Johnson Controls $299.2MM Plants in Holland, MI and Lebanon, OR
A123 249.1MM Romulus and Brownstown, MI for Fisker Automotive
Dow-Kokam 161 MM Midland, MI
LG Chem 151.4 MM Holland, MI for Chevy Volt
Enerdel 118.5 MM Indianapolis, IN for Volvo
There are known to be lithium battery manufacturers in Asia, but details remain to be learned.
In 2012, A123, a manufacturer of lithium batteries filed for bankruptcy. Their auto parts business was to be sold to Johnson Controls. Wanxiang Group Corp. of China was an investor and potential buyer of A123, but the deal failed possibly due to US DOE requirements. In December, Wanxiang outbid Johnson Controls, NEC, and Siemens (WSJ, Dec 10). A123's "government business" was sold to Navitas Systems of Chicago, a spin-off from Sun Microsystems.
Battery Technology
C&EN issue of July 14, 2014 has an excellent 5-page article on advanced battery development. The basic limitation is energy density in wh/kg. Lead acid is rated at 30-40; nickel metal hydride (NiMH) 45-60; lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) 100-110; lithium cobalt 150-190; Tesla Panasonic lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum 240; sodium ion 140-150; lithium sulfur 200; lithium air (in development).
Batteries used in autos–
Tesla lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum
Toyota Prius nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
General Motors Volt lithium manganese
Nissan Leaf nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)
The battery used in the Tesla Model S has the energy content of 7L (less than 2 gal) of fuel.
Consultants expect a shake out in the battery business. Ultimately they expect five major players and perhaps 50 niche players.
Already LFP developers like A123 have gone bankrupt. Clariant has an LFP plant in Quebec, but is expected to exit due to losses. LFP is used in buses. In 2014, Clariant's LFP business was sold to Johnson Matthey. Matthey also acquired the LFP business of A123. Envia had a contract to supply a lithium rich cathode battery licensed from Argonne National Labs to GM for the Volt, but failed to meet performance milestones. Their research continues.
Evonik is working with Daimler on lithium batteries, but seems to be backing away. They instead will focus on electrode materials, separator membranes and electrolytes.
Other suppliers of separators for lithium batteries include Ube Industries and Sumitomo, both of Japan.
BASF is a major investor in battery development. BASF plans to invest several hundred million in battery research between 2011 and 2016, and hopes to generate $500MM sales by 2020. Products include electrolytes and metal oxides and phosphates for cathodes. They supply for LFP and NMC and are working on lithium sulfur. In 2014, BASF formed a JV with Toda Kogyo of Japan to make lithium manganese oxide and related materials in Japan. BASF also opened a battery R&D center in Japan.
Sion Power is developing a lithium sulfur battery. BASF has a stake in the company. Lithium sulfur has safety issues yet to be resolved but is thought suited to use in aircraft. Oxis Energy is another lithium sulfur player. Theoretical density is 2735 wh/kg. Oxis is in partnership with Lotus Engineering, Imperial College, and Cranfield University. It is partly owned by Sasol.
Faradon is developing a sodium ion battery that it thinks will be a drop in replacement for lithium ion batteries. Sodium is abundant and less costly than lithium but the atomic wt of 23 vs 7 for lithium suggests abt 1/3 the power potential. They claim an energy density of 140 wh/kg in recent tests. They think 200 wh/kg is possible. Sumitomo is Japan is also working on a sodium ion battery.
IBM is working on an experimental lithium air battery.
Tesla has announced plans to construct a gigafactory to supply lithium batteries for its electric cars.[2] Elon Musk hopes that mass production will reduce costs for his lower priced models. Panasonic is one partner in the venture. The plant will be located near Reno, NV.
In 2015, Tesla agreed to buy lithium from Sonora Lithium Project Partners (Rare Earth Minerals and Bacanora Minerals Ltd.) assuming production milestones are met. [3]Bacanora Minerals Ltd(CVE:BCN)is a Canadian company headquartered in Calgary. [4]

Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) is to provide MorphoSys with process development and additional manufacturing for its early clinical-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia candidate MOR208 and other drugs. MOR208 is an in-licensed antibody currently undergoing Phase I evaluation in the U.S. by MorphoSys' partner Xencor.
"Adding an additional supplier to our proprietary development setup will help to prevent any bottlenecks in clinical trial supply in the years ahead," notes Marlies Sprol, Ph.D., MorphoSys CSO. "Additionally, establishing a commercial manufacturing process with BI early in the development of MOR208 will clearly increase the value of this program."
MOR208 (formerly XmAb®5574) is a humanized CD19-targeting monoclonal antibody in development for the potential treatment of B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases. MorphoSys negotiated an exclusive worldwide license to the candidate from Xencor in June 2010. Under terms of the deal, Xencor received $13 million up front. The firms are collaborating on the Phase I study in CLL patients. If the study is successful, MorphoSys will shoulder all further clinical development of the antibody.

Nutcracker Suite Ballet Party (24 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This theme holds a particularly dear place in my heart. I was a ballet dancer for 17 years, starting at a very young age. At 14 my ballet instructor in Southern Calfornia asked my parents if she could take me (move) to Boston to audition for The Boston Ballet--a dream come true!
However, my family was moving to the midwest and my parents had their concerns about me living across the country without them, and my studies {now I totally understand--at 14, it was a bit harder}. I continued to study dance into college, and The Boston Ballet always has held a special place in my heart, though I never did get that audition!
The Nutcracker Suite is also a particularly special ballet to me. I adore the music, the story, the characters and how wildly my imagination would wander when I would watch it.
Several months ago a client requested I design a Nutcracker Suite Ballet Party for her daughter. I was beyond thrilled to say the least, and it was an absolute dream creating the party design for her!
Her party will not occur until much closer to the holidays, and I wanted to be sure to share my Nutcracker Suite Ballet Party design with you all as soon as possible--for inspiration you may use for your own Nutcracker Ballet Party this year!
As if my personal passion for The Nutcracker Suite wasn't reason enough, I was connected last summer with photographer Liza Voll, a ballerina herself and photographer of several Boston ballet companies--and many performances of The Nutcracker.
For the client, we decided that each guest would receive a hardback copy of a picture book of The Nutcracker Suite including a cd to twirl to {with personalized bookplate} along with their invitation, which let them know they would be viewing a presentation of The Nutcracker Suite and enjoy Nutcracker Ballet-inspired Sweets as well! I have always loved the idea of giving an item along with the invitation to build excitement about the event.
No surprise here: pink was the base for everything!
We chose light ballet pink, medium pink, dark pink, cranberry with hints of sparkly silver and white. Even though the Sugar Plum Fairy kept popping up in conversation, the actual color plum did not. I spoke with photographer Liza, and we agreed that many performances have the Sugar Plum Fairy wearing pink, not plum, and we went with that.
{Table Covering}
I wanted a floor-length table covering that was tiered, ruffled, and went from lightest to darkest shades of pink, similar to the image of the costumes shared earlier.When you go with such a lavish table cloth, however, it is important to keep what goes on top of it a bit well-coordinated, as not to be too busy or compete. When watching the ballet from seats far away, I remember as a child it was the costumes that stood out, so the vision of the skirts represented by the table linen was perfect to represent the ballet as a whole.
{Linens & Tableware}
I absolutely adore personalized party favors, and cannot express enough what delight children take in seeing something with their name on it. I always recommend using placecards when are of the age where they may argue over who gets to sit next to the guest of honor.
Instead of placecards, I had designer Emily of Magnolia Creative create for me precious painted pottery (salad plates) for each guest, which was not only their placecard telling them where they would sit, but also served as what they would eat on at the party, and after a quick rinse and dry, they would take home as a lovely party favor!
Classic light pink linen napkins {Williams and Sonoma}, traditional silver flatware and clear glasses {acrylic are great for younger ones} completed the look--pristine, feminine, and sweet. A taffeta table runner was placed down the middle and lined with clear glass beaded platters and bowls of treats, trimmed with cranberry velvet ribbons.
Gorgeous and LARGE, fluffly pale pink tulle poms hung above the tables
They adding an element of frothiness, and grace; resembled tutus and cotton candy.
A Nutcracker was a must, but at the client's request I needed to make sure he was masculine, but not in traditional Nutcracker colors. Therefore, a silver and white Nutcracker was the goal--and found {At Michaels}! We didn't the actual Nutcracker theme to be too domineering, therefore we decided just one was best.
Over the dessert table I created, I hung hand glittered letters strung together on pink ribbon, spelling out "Sweet Dreams"--the goal was that each guest would have nothing but these after attending the ballet and party.
Inspiration: Oh, the dessert table! This was a huge part of the party design, and the details were very important. The idea was to create a stage--I believe that dessert tables when well executed, are like works of art, and that was the goal. Each dessert represented different characters, costumes, props or scenes from The Nutcracker Suite Ballet.
Design: On a matching 3-tiered pink floor length table cloth, was the dessert table design. It was placed under just a simple trio of pink tulle poms, and the "Sweet Dreams" garland was hung sort of off-center on the side. The magical pink and silver trees I created gave height and reinforced the color-scheme. The Nutcracker stood out well, and while pink was used throughout, hints of silver could be found to give it a luster and sparkle that felt like nothing but pure magic.
Dessert Vessels and Displays: I opted for clear glass vessels, many beaded, allowing the desserts to truly stand out. I made sure clear glass domes, because they were to represent snow globes, something the client's daughter adored (as do I!) and it worked well with the theme, as if what was inside was something magical.
Party Crackers: cardboard gift wrap tubes were cut into approximately 6" sections, covered in light pink paper, then wrapped with layers and layers of tulle (either cranberry or pink), and tied with a beautiful ribbon in the opposite color {tulle and ribbon from JoAnns}. A tag created by Jen personalized with the child's name, was attached to each one. The client will be inserting the girl's tickets to the matinee ballet performance inside of their "party cracker".
The client will be taking all the girls to the ballet (a very small group), and weather-permitting, they will go on a horse-drawn carriage ride before the performance. After attending the ballet, the girls will be going to the client's home for their "Nutcracker Sweets", music from the ballet playing in the background, and there they can talk all about the performance.
Each guest will be receiving a large box, wrapped in pink and tied with gorgeous cranberry satin ribbon, with a lovely custom printed gift tag. In it will be sweet, simple and fluffy no-sew tutus the client will be making herself. What a LOVELY treasure! {wrap from The Paper Source}
I have always dreamed of a full tulle skirt with a dupioni silk waistband with a large bow and sash in the back. I had seen a pettiskirt done this way and fell in love with it.
The girls will also be receiving ribbon wands, similar to those you see in my party design which were made by the lovely Kate of Pinwheels and Pearls, that give the girls the power to prance and twirl and enjoy hours of playtime with the wand. Kate's quality of work is outstanding, I am so very impressed!!!
For the guest of honor, she will wear a tiara. Nicole of Tradewind Tiaras created the most spectacular custom tiara for my party...I cannot say enough. Even the photographer, a dancer herself, had her breath taken away with the beauty and quality. Handmade, and gorgeous.
I hope that this Nutcracker Suite Ballet Party has filled your head with visions of Sugarplum Fairies and served as a source of inspiration.

Wilmington developing plan to manage region's brand
Published: Monday, July 8, 2013 at 12:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 8, 2013 at 12:24 p.m.
Wilmington-area officials are launching an effort to brand the region.
The branding will help manage Southeastern North Carolina's reputation, said Roger Johnson, the city manager's assistant for development.
On Monday, the city council got briefed on the effort, which was identified as a key need at a February entrepreneurship summit, Johnson said.
Johnson said officials will propose a process to select a brand without knowing the outcome of what the brand could be. The city, New Hanover County and the University of North Carolina Wilmington will all be involved.
Although many organizations market the area, they do not always pull in the same direction, said Beth Schrader, the county's strategy and policy manager.
To hone a message, it is important to have a neutral party collecting data, said UNCW's Jenni Harris, assistant to the chancellor for community partnerships.
Starting in August, a team of students and faculty will begin conducting surveys and collecting data to learn how people view the area.
Whatever that process yields will dictate how the area is branded, Harris said. As an example, she said it could focus on downtown Wilmington, or simply "water," a nod to the river and the beaches.
Councilman Kevin O'Grady asked how this process is different from the most recent rebranding for tourism. In 2011, the Tourism Development Authority approved new advertising materials, including a slogan that reads "Wilmington" with "Historic River District & Island Beaches." Before that, the area had been marketed as the "Cape Fear Coast."
Harris said that slogan was designed solely around tourism.
"We want marketing, we want tourism, we want economic and business development," she said.
Councilman Neil Anderson supported the effort.
"You can't sell if you don't know what you're selling," he said. "This is very exciting to me."
While there are no exact boundaries for what exactly the study area will include, Johnson said it will include Wilmington, the county, the three beach towns and possibly northern Brunswick County.
He said he will draft a resolution in support of the effort that council members will consider in August.

Café tables on the other side of the Silver Star's wide patio offer views of the Park City Golf Course and Deer Valley.
Most Park City itineraries, particularly those lasting into the evening hours, include Main Street. And rightly so. Bars and restaurants are as thick as thieves along Park City's main vein, offering both food and music on a level commensurate with towns 50 times Park City's cozy size. But if crowds aren't necessarily your thing, save Main Street for when you have out of town guests and head over to the Silver Star Café, located just north of Park City Mountain Resort's base area in the Silver Star Village. The place not only serves up great food and quality entertainment, but exemplifies all the best of Park City in the summertime: clean, mountain air, amazing views and that feeling of getting away while in your own backyard.
Jeff and Lisa Ward purchased the Silver Star Café back March 2009. They ran the business as they'd purchased it—a grocery café—for the remainder of that ski season. But as soon as the lifts stop running the couple renovated the space and revamped the menu. The Silver Star Café reopened the following June as an eclectic, table-service eatery featuring live music on the weekends. "The Silver Star Café is really a reflection of Lisa and me," Jeff says.
Have dinner or drinks and small plates while enjoying views of Park City Mountain Resort on the Silver Star Café's cozy and inviting patio.
I'd heard great things about the place and expected quality and attention to detail similar to 350 Main, the award-winning restaurant Jeff ran on Main Street for more than 15 years. What I found when I visited this weekend was so much more. The décor is funky and a bit artistic, the staff attentive and the food fresh, creative, reasonably priced and what I would describe as high-end homespun. And the setting is absolutely stunning.
The Silver Star's main entrance faces Park City Mountain Resort and the Silver Star chairlift. (The lift doesn't run in the summer, but two of the resort's best mountain biking/hiking trails—Armstrong and Spiro—empty right next to the base of the lift.) The wide patio is furnished with inviting upholstered wicker sectional seating, low-slung tables and overflowing flowerpots. Café tables are clustered closer to the entrance, allowing diners sweeping views of the Park City Golf course, Old Town and past Deer Valley all the way to the Uinta Mountains. And don't worry about getting too cold when the sun goes down: Heat lamps are interspersed among the table and fuzzy Silver Star snuggies are available for guests eating outside.
The music offered at Silver Star Café (Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the summer) focuses on singer/songwriter-driven folk and bluegrass primarily, though the Wards say they are committed to featuring local musical talent whenever possible. "Word has gotten out about incredible setting and atmosphere which had made booking music really easy. I regularly get calls from acts from throughout the West and West Coast wanting to play here," Lisa says.
Grammy-nominated folk artists Maria Quiles and Rory Cloud play the Silver Star Café last Friday evening.
The best way to describe an evening of live music and dinner at the Silver Star is slightly exclusive but at the same time very laid back and authentic; kind of like being privy to a really cool secret.
The Silver Star Café serves lunch and dinner daily and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Plaza Palooza, a more casual, picnic and blanket-friendly concert series, is held on Thursday nights; "Park City Limits" dinner and music shows (reservations required) are held on Saturday evenings.

|ESPN Academic All-America
TOWSON, Md. - Notch one more milestone on Idaho soccer player Chelsea Small's résumé.
The sophomore forward from Solana Beach, Calif. (Torrey Pines HS) was Idaho's first all-Western Athletic Conference honoree last season as a freshman, she became the first Vandal to receive a conference player of the year honor this season, and on Friday, she became the first Academic All-American in Idaho soccer history.
"It's a reflection of the complete package of a student-athlete," Idaho head soccer coach Pete Showler said of Small. "It's recognition of hard work on and off the pitch, and being able to balance the amount of travel we've had away from class and still maintain a 4.0, as well as to produce goals and assists, and it's a testament to top-notch hard work and a solid investment in all that she does."
Small was voted a Second-Team ESPN Academic All-America honoree on Friday. She holds a cumulative 4.0 grade point average in Secondary Education and broke Idaho's school records this year in single-season points (30), goals (13), game-winning goals (8) and shots (121).
She was named 2010 WAC Offensive Player of the Year this season and is a two-time first-team All-WAC honoree. She finished the season ranked 20th in the NCAA in total goals and also tied the WAC record for conference-season shots (58). She led Idaho to a school-record 14 wins and program-best third-place finish in the WAC.
Small was one of just three sophomores among the 33 student-athletes honored Friday. To be eligible for Academic All-America mention, a student-athlete must have a cumulative 3.30 GPA and have sophomore standing. Academic All-District honorees are nominated and voted upon by their region's sports information directors, while first-team All-District honorees move on to the national ballot.
Showler said that Small's award is a positive reflection on the entire women's soccer program, which has a combined 3.50 GPA.
"The team GPA, along with the great season we had this year, shows an understanding of balancing the 'student' and the 'athlete' requirements and representing the University of Idaho in a positive manner," Showler said of the Vandals.


text: Tom Hilbert took Vandal volleyball to a new level from 1989-96, leading the team to an Idaho record 174 wins and a .707 win percentage in his eight years. Under Hilbert, Idaho became a mainstay at the NCAA tournament, making appearances every year from 1992 to 1995, winning the Big Sky title every year. Athletes under Hilbert earned nine AVCA All-Northwest Region honors, one AVCA and Volleyball Monthly All-America honor, four Big Sky MVP honors, 20 Big Sky All-Conference honors, four Big Sky Freshman of the Year honors and 14 Big Sky All-Tournament Team honors. Hilbert himself was honored as the 1993 and 1994 AVCA Northwest Region Coach of the Year and earned Big Sky Coach of the Year honors four times from 1992-95. His teams hold 10 Idaho team records and his athletes hold nine individual school records.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Swordswoman Salad plates to the rescue! We finally found the dinnerware we love (Leila; I think it must be discontinued) on the clearance shelf at our World Market, except that the salad plates that come with the set don't coordinate with the dinner plates and the bowls very well, IMO. The dinner plates and bowls have a cream color background with a nice detailed pattern of a sort of small paisley print around the edges but the salad plates are a very splashy Mediterranean flower pattern. So my husband found these Amber salad plates, and they are a great substitute! The color is a pretty good match to the background of the paisley patterned rim of the dinner plates and bowls, and since they are plain colored they are a nice coordinating plate to go with the other pieces. And, BTW, they are really sturdy so far, microwave, dishwasher, etc. Happy all around! May 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by neworleanslady perfect plates uses them to hang on wall behind candles . perfect color yellow more of a gold really. came quick and not broken really well packaged. November 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carolap Just what I needed. Looks great Great look....just what I was looking for. Arrived in perfect condition. Love them"" November 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Demigoddess1 Mixed with Porto I mixed these with the Porto dinnerware. They are beautiful together, and after two months of daily use, dishwasher, and microwave, they're holding up beautifully. May 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by J Love these dishes - Color, feel, design! I bought dinner plates and bowls last weekend after eyeing these pretty dishes for about a month - caught them on sale. :) They are not too heavy, have beautiful color and detail work. I bought them to complement my patterned dishes, and they are great to mix and match, or use alone. The workmanship is wonderful - all smooth, no bumps or imperfections. Check that all are same color depth before you purchase so you don't have varying hues unless you want that. Going back for the salad plates! April 25, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tucson Shopper Beautiful set of dishes! We just purchased this set this past weekend and it's beautiful! I love the color and the design. It's festive without being too fancy. These are our everyday plates and I couldn't be happier. I'm just hoping they're durable other than that they're perfect! September 12, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sarah Darker yellow, huge bowls These are beautiful dishes but be aware that the bowls are huge - they hold 3 cups when full to the top. Because of their size they didn't fit well in my dishwasher. The color is more of a crayola goldenrod (or amber as they say) and not the sunshiny yellow in the photograph. It's a pretty yellow but it definitely has a little bit of brown to deepen the tone. March 6, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Allioop Love Color&Design, Cracking glaze yuk Everyday dishes. Pattern/Design adds a touch of elegance to a happy color. Purchased to replace another set from a different brand, merchant, that chipped horrible. This has not chipped so far but I have 2 items with cracking glaze. One salad plate and one large bowl. Salad plate I returned. Bowl pending. Purchase in store if you want to colormatch each dish. Otherwise color variations are prevalent. March 25, 2012
