Defense production zone classification signed into law
Henrico sought new zones to attract companies
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell signed a number of pieces of legislation into law April 7 at the Virginia Biotechnology Park in Richmond, including Senate Bill 999/House Bill 1822, which creates a separate classification of machinery and tools designed and used directly in manufacturing or processing materials, components or equipment for national defense and authorized localities to create Local Defense Production Zones, within which such machinery and tools could be taxed at a rate less than the rate generally applicable to such materials.
The bill was carried by Senators Walter Stosch and Donald McEachin and Delegate Chris Peace on behalf of Henrico County, which sought the ability to create such a zone to attract defense-based companies to the county.
"This bill will serve as a tool for localities to attract defense companies to their county, city or town," Peace said. "These companies will bring jobs and new industry to the community, while stimulating economic development."
Peace and Henrico Supervisors Pat O'Bannon and Dick Glover were among the officials who joined McDonnell as he signed the measure into law.

Saudi Arabia, which backs Syrian rebels, on Monday rejected Iran's participation in the Geneva II peace talks unless Tehran backs efforts for a transitional government in the war-torn country.
Iran did not "announce officially and openly its agreement (to)... the creation of a transitional government," said a Saudi official statement.
This renders the Islamic Republic "unqualified to attend," an international peace conference on Syria that opens Wednesday in Switzerland, it added.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is to begin on Thursday in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian and Egyptian officials said. Following are some key facts about the Hamas-controlled territory.
* The Gaza Strip is a sliver of towns, villages and farmland at the southeast end of the Mediterranean, 45 km (25 miles) long and at most 10 km (6 miles) wide. It is wedged between Israel to the north and east, and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula to the south.
* The city of Gaza has been continuously inhabited for more than 3,000 years and was a crossroads of ancient civilizations. It is believed to be the burial place of the Prophet Mohammad's great grandfather.
* Four centuries of rule by the Ottoman Empire were briefly interrupted by Napoleonic France and also saw growing Egyptian influence until Britain took control of Gaza and the rest of Palestine in World War One. Egypt took control of the Strip in 1948 during the Arab-Israeli war.
* The Strip's population tripled in 1948-49 when it absorbed about a quarter of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees displaced from areas that are now part of Israel.
* Israel captured the Gaza Strip from Egypt in the 1967 war and ended its military presence there in September 2005, after removing 8,500 Jewish settlers from 21 enclaves.
* Israel resumed ground operations in June 2006 after militants from Gaza tunneled across the border and captured an Israeli soldier, who is still being held.
* A year later, Hamas Islamists took control of the Gaza Strip after routing President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah forces.
* Israel tightened the closure of its borders with Gaza, curbing fuel supplies and limiting movement of people. International organizations have condemned the blockade, which Israel says is meant to curb rockets fired by militants.
* About 1.5 million Palestinians live in Gaza, more than half of them refugees from past wars with Israel. Gaza has one of the world's highest population densities and demographic growth rates.
* Most Gazans live on less than $2 a day and up to 80 percent are dependent on food aid, according to aid groups.

Currently, designing low-power complex embedded systems is a main challenge for corporations in a large number of electronic domains. There are multiple motivations which lead designers to consider low-power design such as increasing lifetime, improving battery longevity, limited battery capacity, and temperature constraints. Unfortunately, there is a lack of efficient methodology and accurate tool to obtain power/energy estimation of a complete system at different abstraction levels. This paper presents a global framework for power/energy estimation and optimization of heterogeneous multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC). Within this framework, a power modeling methodology is defined, and an open platform is developed. Our methodology takes into account all the embedded system relevant aspects; the software, the hardware, and the operating system. The platform stands for Open Power and Energy Optimization PLatform and Estimator (Open-PEOPLE). It includes diverse estimation tools with respect to their abstraction levels in order to cover the overall design flow. Starting from functional estimation and down to real boards measurements, our platform helps designers to develop new power models, to explore new architectures, and to apply optimization techniques in order to reduce energy and power consumption of the system. The usefulness and the effectiveness of the proposed power estimation framework is demonstrated through a typical embedded system conceived around the Xilinx Virtex II Pro FPGA platform.

2. Description of the Prior Art
The hydrosilation reaction was discovered about 1947 and, over the years, has become one of the best known and most widely practiced reactions in organosilicon chemistry. It enjoys a broad spectrum of large scale commercial applications and has been the subject of thousands of publications and extensive reviews, including the following monographs:
E. Lukevics and M. G. Voronkov, Organic Insertion Reactions of Group II Elements, Consultants Bureau, N.Y., 1966;
C. Eaborn and R. W. Boh, Organometallic Compounds of the Group IV Elements, Dekker, N.Y., 1968, Vol. I;

E. Lukevics, Russ. Chem Rev., 46, 264 (1977) and
E. Lukevics et al, J. Organometal Chem. Library 5, 1977, pp. 1-179
Various classes of platinum compounds have been found to be effective hydrosilation catalysts. Chloroplatinic acid, which is a soluble form of platinum, has proved to be an especially effective hydrosilation catalyst, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,823,218 issued Feb. 11, 1958. It has also been reported that disilazanes, such as 1,3-dihydrodisilazane and cyclosilazanes, such as tetramethylcyclotetrasilazane, undergo slow catalytic hydrosilation with vinyl unsaturated compounds in the following articles:
K. A. Andrianov et al, Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser, Khim. 1968, pp. 351-6;
K. A. Andrianov et al, Ibid, 1969, pp. 1539-45;
E. P. Lebedev and V. O. Reikhsfel'd, Zhur, Obshch. Khim, 38, 655, (1968) and
E. P. Lebedev and V. O. Reikhsfel'd, Ibid, 40, 1082, (1970)
It has also been reported that mono- bis- and tris(dialkylamino)silanes show little or no reactivity for hydrosilation. That lack of reactivity has been attributed to the inability of such alkylaminosilanes to form intermediate catalytic complexes with a platinum hydrosilation catalyst, W. B. Dennis and J. L. Speier, J. Org Chem. 35, 3879 (1970).
It has been more recently disclosed that a hydrosilation mechanism is possible for the reaction of hydroaminosilanes with arylacetylenes, I. M. Gverdtsiteli et al, Soobshch Akad. Nauk Gruz. SSR, 84, 381 (1976) and I. M. Gverdtsiteli et al, Tezisy Dokl-Vses. Konf. Khim. Atsetilena, 5th, 1975, 172. It was reported therein that dimethyl diethylamino silane, diethyl morpholino silane and methyl diethylamino morpholino silane reacted with diphenylacetylenes (RC.tbd.RC) via a hydrosilation mechanism to provide diphenylvinyl-substituted aminosilanes in yields only to 40 to 50 percent of the theoretical. It was also reported that attempted hydrosilations with monophenyl acetylene (RC.tbd.CH) resulted in a dehydrocondensation reaction which yielded an acetylenic, rather than a vinyl, adduct. Such arylacetylene reactions were typically run at reaction temperatures between about 20° to 100° C.
Vinylaminosilanes are well known to the art as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,485,857 issued Dec. 23, 1969 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,445,425, issued May 20, 1969. Such compounds are considered to be useful intermediates and highly reactive coupling agents.
The present invention is a process for preparing vinylaminosilanes by reacting an aminosilane of the general formula I:
HSi(NRR')x (R")3-x [I]
an alkyne of the general formula II:
R'"C.tbd.CH [II]
wherein R' and R"' are the same or different and are each hydrogen, a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical or an aromatic hydrocarbon radical, R and R" are the same or different and are each a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical or an aromatic hydrocarbon radical and x is an integer from 1 to 3, in the presence of a platinum hydrosilation catalyst at a reaction temperature greater than 180° C. to form a vinylaminosilane of the general formula III:
R"'CH═CHSi(NRR')x (R")3-x
wherein R, R', R" and R"' are as before.
It has been found that the temperature of the reaction should be maintained at least about 180° C. to provide satisfactory yields of the desired vinylaminosilane product. At lower reaction temperatures the yields of desired vinylaminosilanes are substantialy reduced. In addition, it is an important feature of the process of the invention that the amount of undesired by-products is very low. This is contrast to reactions of trichlorosilane and most trialkoxysilanes in which substantial amounts of bis(silyl)ethane are produced, when a platinum hydrosilation catalyst is employed, such as chloroplatinic acid, as reported in Japanese Pat. No. 57-4995, issued Jan. 11, 1982.
The aminosilane reactants employed in the present invention are of the general formula (I):
HSi(NRR')x (R")3-x [I]
wherein R' is hydrogen, a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, or an aromatic hydrocarbon radical, R and R" are each a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical or an aromatic hydrocarbon radical and x is an integer from 1 to 3.
Typical examples of R, R' and R" are alkyl radicals, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, octyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, 3-methylheptyl, 6-butyloctadecyl, tertiary butyl and 2,2-diethylpentyl; alkenyl radicals, such as allyl, hexenyl, butenyl, 3-octenyl, 4,9-octadecadienyl and 4-nonenyl; alkynyl radicals, such as propynyl, heptynyl, butynyl, decynyl and alkenynyl radicals, such as 1-penten-3-ynyl and 2-ethyl-1-buten-3-ynyl; cycloaliphatic radicals, such as cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, propylcyclohexyl, 2,4-dimethylcyclopentyl, cyclohexenyl, bicyclo (3.1.0) hexyl, tricyclo-(18.104.22.168,8)-5-nonenyl, spiro[4.5]decyl, dispiro(184.108.40.206)-1-tridecenyl, decahydronaphthyl, 2.3-dihydroindyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl and aryl radicals, such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, 3-ethylphenyl, naphthyl, pentaphenyl, 3,4-methylethyl-phenyl, 2-phenyl-octyl, 3-methyl-2-(4-isopropylphenyl)heptyl, benzyl, 2-ethyl-tolyl, 2-ethyl-p-cymenyl, diphenyl-methyl, 4,5-diphenylpentyl, 4-m-terphenyl, 9,9'-bifluoryl and beta-phenylethyl.
In addition R and R' can together form a heterocyclic radical with the nitrogen (N) of formula I, such as a piperidino, piperazino or morpholino radical or an alkyl substituted heterocyclic radical or the like.
Typical examples of the aminosilanes of this invention include:
HSi[N(CH3)(C2 H5)]3 ;
HSi[N(C2 H5)2 ]3 ;
HSi[N(C3 H7)2 ]3 ;
HSi[N(CH3)(CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3)]3 ;
HSi[N(CH3)(C12 H25)]3 ;
HSi[N(C[CH3 ]3)2 ]2 CH3 ;
HSi[N(CH3)(CH2 CH═CH2)]2 C2 H5 ;
HSi[N(CH3)(CH2 C.tbd.CCH3)]2 C3 H7 ;
HSi[N(CH3)2 ]2 C2 H5 ;
HSi[N(CH3)2 ]2 C5 H11 ; ##STR1## HSi[N(CH3)(C6 H5)]3 ; HSi[N(CH6 H5)2 ]3 ; ##STR2## HSi[N(CH3)2 ](CH3)2 HSi[N(CH3)2 ]2 CH3
HSi[N(CH3)2 ]3
HSi(C2 H5)[N(CH3)2 ]2 ;
HSi(C3 H7)[NCH3)2 ]2 ;
HSi(CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3)[N(CH3)2 ]2 ;
HSi(C12 H25)[N(C3 H7)2 ]2 ;
HSi(C13 H27)[N(CH3)2 ]2
HSi(CH2 CH═CHCH2 CHC.tbd.CCH3)[N(CH3)]2 ; ##STR3##
In general the preferred aminosilanes of the invention are those in which R' is H and lower alkyl, and R and R" are each alkyl or, together with N, are saturated heterocyclic. Especially preferred aminosilanes of the invention include dimethylaminodimethylsilane; bis (dimethylamino)methylsilane, tris(piperidino)silane and, particularly, tris(dimethylamino)silane. The alkynes of the invention which, in the presence of the hydrosilation catalyst of the invention, form vinyl adducts with the aminosilanes of the invention, have the general formula II:
wherein R"' is hydrogen and an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical. Typical examples of R"' radicals include: alkyl radicals having from about 1 to 20 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, octyl, dodecyl, heptadecyl and eicosyl radicals, aryl radicals, such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, naphthyl, beta-phenylethyl, benzyl, 2-phenyl-octyl, diphenyl-methyl and like radicals and cycloaliphatic radicals, such as cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, propycyclohexyl, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl, spiro[4.5]decyl and like radicals.
The preferred alkynes of the invention are acetylene, 1-hexyne, 1-octyne and phenylacetylene.
In general, the molar ratio of the aminosilane reactant to the alkyne reactant should be 1:1 (or the stoichiometric ratio) to provide the best yields.
The reaction is carried out in the presence of a platinum hydrosilation catalyst of the invention. The platinum catalyst can be employed in a broad spectrum of forms. The catalyst can be platinum metal, either alone or on a support, such as carbon black or alumina. Soluble compounds of platinum or complexes of platinum are also employed as the platinum catalyst.
Typical soluble compounds of platinum are hexachloroplatinic acid and platinum (II) 2,4-pentanedionate. Solutions of hexachloroplatinic acid in organic solvents; such as alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol; ketones, such as cyclohexanone; ethers, as dimethyl ether of ethylene glycol or diethyleneglycol and esters as ethyl acetate or methyl benzoate, can also be utilized.
Platinum complexes combined with unsaturated compounds as ethylene, cyclohexene, styrene, alkylethylenes or such platinum complexes with phosphines, phosphines on polymeric carriers, cyclopropane and sulphoxides, can also be utilized.
If desired, bivalent and quadrivalent platinum complexes may also be employed. Platinum complexes on inorganic or organic polymeric carriers and polymeric platinum chelates are also possible forms for the platinum hydrosilation catalyst. Other suitable forms of platinum catalysts will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Usually, best results are obtained, and accordingly, it is preferred to employ as the hydrosilation catalyst, chloroplatinic acid, platinum (II) 2,4-pentanedionate or a platinum phosphine complex, as bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum (II) chloride and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)platinum.
In general, the catalyst is employed in sufficient amounts to complete the reaction. Because platinum catalysts are expensive, it is usually best to employ them in amounts not in excess of that which is required to provide satisfactory yields. Accordingly, for this and other purposes it is preferred to employ from about 1×10-5 mole percent 5×10-2 mole percent of platinum hydrosilation catalyst of the invention based on the amount of aminosilane to be reacted. The reaction temperature at which the process of the invention is carried out is very important. At reaction temperatures below about 180° C. it has been found that substantially reduced yields of vinylsilane adducts are obtained. At temperatures above about 180° C., however, the silicon-hydrogen bond adds readily across the alkyne bond in the presence of the hydrosilation catalyst to yield the vinylsilanes of the invention as follows:
R"'C.tbd.CH+HSi(NRR')x (R")3-x →R"'CH═CHSi(NRR')x (R")3-x
where R, R', R", R"' and x are as before.
The amount of undesired by-products produced by the inventive process, such as bis(silyl)ethane, is insignificant, as compared to hydrosilation reactions of trichlorosilane and most trialkoxysilanes, which yield both vinylsilane and bis(silyl)ethane, when chloroplatinic acid is the hydrosilation catalyst.
While the particular reasons for the enhanced reactivity of the aminosilanes of the invention toward hydrosilation at the elevated reaction temperatures of at least about 180° C. is not completely understood, it is believed that at such higher temperatures an intermediate platinum-silicon catalytic complex is more readily formed, while at lower temperatures the aminosilane forms the desired catalytic intermediate complex, very slowly.
Another important and unexpected feature of the present process is that there does not seem to be any significant catalyst degradation at the elevated reaction temperatures. That feature is evidence that the platinum aminosilane catalytic intermediates are relatively stable and contribute significantly to the high efficiency of the instant process. The vinylaminosilane product yield of the instant process is unusually high. Usually product yields are at least about 90% of theoretical and, most often, over 95% theoretical.
In general, the upper reaction temperature of the present invention is determined by the decomposition temperature of either the starting materials or the reaction product. For most purposes it is preferred to maintain the reaction temperature from about 220° C. to 250° C.
The reaction pressure is not critical. The process is best conducted at atmospheric or superatmospheric pressures. If desired, the reaction is conducted at alkynyl gas inlet pressures which can be greater than atmospheric and preferably on the order from about 100 to 150 psig.
The reaction time is not a significant factor in the process. In general, the reaction is completed in from about 1/2 to 8 hours, and, usually, in from about 2 to 4 hours.
The reaction may be carried out in the absence or presence of a reaction solvent. If it is desired to enhance the solubility of the reactants or to provide a heat sink to help maintain proper temperature control, a solvent can be employed. Typical reaction solvents include hydrocarbon solvents, such as octane, xylene or, preferably, triisopropylbenzene.
In order to conduct the process of the invention the reactants are added in any appropriate order. Generally, the platinum catalyst is added to the aminosilane reactant, the reaction mix heated to the desired reaction temperature and then the alkyne reactant, such as acetylene gas, is fed into the reaction at a constant rate until addition is complete. The product is recovered and analyzed by conventional procedures. Where all the reactants are liquids, the reactants are added to an autoclave, the autoclave is sealed and the contents heated until the reaction is complete.
The following examples illustrate certain preferred embodiments of the invention under laboratory conditions. They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
A 500 ml 3-neck flask was equipped with a stopper, Claisen adapter, thermometer and stirring bar. A septum was wired to the Claisen adapter and a water condenser and a Dewar condenser attached to the side arm. Into the flask was introduced 100 g (0.49 mol.) of triisopropylbenzene solvent and 30 g (0.19 mol.) of tris(dimethylamino)silane. Into this mix was added 60 ppm (120 ul of 15 mg Pt/ml) chloroplatinic acid. The reaction mix was heated to 235° C. in an oil bath and acetylene was fed into the reaction mix with a stainless steel twelve (12) inch needle at a rate of 75-100 cc/min. with a back pressure of 4-5 psig. After two hours the hydrosilation reaction was complete as determined by GPC. The single product formed was vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane in amounts greater than 92% of the theoretical yield.
The process was carried out as in Example 1; however, a reaction temperature of 150° C., and a reaction time of 8 hours were used. After 8 hours, no reaction product was formed.
The reaction was carried out as in Example I, except that bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum (II) chloride was used as the platinum hydrosilation catalyst. The single product formed was vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane in a yield greater than 90% of theoretical.
A two liter stirred batch reactor was purged with nitrogen gas and thereafter charged with 840 g (5.22 moles) of tris(dimethylamino)silane and 5 ppm hexachloroplatinic acid. The reactor was then pressurized to approximately 5 psig with nitrogen gas and heated to approximately 250° C. The acetylene inlet feed was started and maintained at 100 psig. The reaction temperature was maintained at 250° C. After four hours the acetylene flow was stopped, the reaction mix cooled and the reaction products analyzed. Vinyltris(dimethyl)amino)silane was the single major product at 90% of theoretical. Ethyltris(dimethylamino)silane and 1,2-bis(trisdimethylamino)silylethane by-products were formed in amounts less than 0.5% each. Vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane polymer was also formed in an amount of 7-8%.
The reaction was carried out as in Example 3; however, the acetylene pressure was increased to 150 psig and the reaction temperature was maintained at 240° C. Vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane was the single major product at a yield of 85% theoretical. Ethyltris(dimethylamino)silane and 1,2-bis(trisdimethylamino)silylethane were also formed, each in approximately a 2 to 3% yield. Vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane was also formed in approximately 10% yield.
The reaction was run in accordance with the procedure of in Example 3; however, the acetylene pressure was 120 psig and the reaction temperature was maintained at 230° C. The single major product was vinyltris(dimethylamino)silane in a 85% yield. Ethyltris(dimethylamino)silane and 1,2-bis(trisdimethylamino)silylethane were each formed in amounts of approximately 1%. Vinyltris-(dimethylamino)silane polymer was also formed in an amount of approximately 10%.

Amazon webOS deal rumouredPocket-lint
Amazon could be about to buy webOS from HP according to sources in the US.
"A well-placed source tells us that HP is currently looking to rid itself of Palm as soon as possible, and that Amazon is the closest to finalising the deal, among a handful of contenders," explains business focused website Venturebeat.com.
HP bought Palm last year for $1.2bn, but has had a rough time with the company and its operating system.
That rough time culminated in HP halting sales of its webOS tablet, the HP Touchpad, and webOS smartphones after they failed to ignite an Apple- and Android-loving public into switching.
Since then the industry has been looking to see who would buy the business, be it the hardware or the operating system - both failing to attract developers.
Names have included HTC, Samsung, Qualcomm and now the latest in the rumour pot Amazon.
According to Venturebeat's sources and a healthy dose of speculation, Amazon is the perfect partner for a number of reasons.
The first is that such a deal might be possible as Palm's former CEO, Jon Rubinstein (who is now at HP), is on the board at Amazon.
The second is that The Kindle Fire has been so heavily customised from Android that it might as well use an OS like webOS.
And thirdly, an off the cuff remark to tech site Thisismynext.com earlier in the summer pulled the rumours together nicely:
"So, we'd like a partner that would allow us to expand the webOS ecosystem… There's a variety of different sets of characteristics to qualify as a good partner. I would say Amazon would certainly make a great partner, because they have a lot of characteristics that would help them expand the webOS ecosystem. As to whether there's been discussions or not… that's obviously not something I'm going to comment about," Rubinstein said in July.
Add those three together, a bit of guess work, and some rumouring and you get the confirmation that Amazon will buy webOS for its Kindle devices of tomorrow, allowing it to dodge having to use Google at all.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Sonnet 116
by William Shakespeare
Sonnet 116 Theme of Literature and Writing
We see the problem in logic presented at the end of this poem: the poet boldly dares everyone else to prove his idea of love wrong, saying that if it's false, then he'll never have written a word. The problem is, he puts this challenge in writing. Clearly we can't possibly deny that he wrote anything, since the poem is right there on the page to prove it, and always will be. Confusing, we know…and also very clever. He's basically ensuring that nobody can actually step up to the plate and challenge him. By using his own body of work as proof here, the poet makes it impossible for naysayers to claim that he's wrong about love. This also does an interesting thing for poetry itself; by wagering his poems in this challenge, the poet also implies that literature is just as immortal and just as important as love.
Questions About Literature and Writing
- Is literature, as presented in this poem, also immortal?
- Why does the poet wager his writing on this definition of love, rather than anything else, at the end of the poem?
- What is the significance of the last-minute appearance of the idea of poetry in the closing lines of the poem? Why introduce it at all?
Chew on This
Poetry is valued just as highly as love in the last two lines of the poem.

Jodi Faeth and Mike Wolfe were married.
Mike Wolfe of American Pickers and his girlfriend Jodi Faeth were together for about 17 or 18 years before they got married on September 8th, 2012. Their daughter Charlie Faeth Wolfe was born a little over seven months earlier on January 30th, 2012. ...The Wolfes married on September 8th, Charlie was baptized on the 9th, and then Mike reported on the 10th that he was off picking again for two weeks. That was a busy weekend for the Wolfe family!
The Wolfes did manage to squeeze in a family honeymoon in Hawaii the next month after the wedding. About a month later, little Charlie, who was born with a cleft palate and lip, underwent a second successful reconstructive surgery to repair the birth defect.

A rising star in the Republican Party shares her inspirational memoir of family, hope, and the power of the American Dream.
Decades before their daughter surprised the nation by becoming governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley's parents had a dream. Ajit and Raj Randhawa were well-educated, well-off Sikhs in the Punjab region of India. But despite their high social status, the Randhawas wanted more for their family-the opportunities that only America could offer.
So they left behind all they had known and settled in Bamberg, South Carolina (population: 2,500). As the first Indian family in a small Southern town in the early 1970s, the Randhawas faced ignorance, prejudice, and sometimes blatant hostility. Nikki remembers stopping at a roadside produce stand with her father, who always wore his traditional Sikh turban. Within minutes, two police cars pulled to make sure they weren't thieves.
But the Randhawas taught their children that they should never think of themselves as victims. They stressed that if you work hard and stay true to yourself, you can overcome any obstacle. The key is believing that can't is not an option.
The family struggled to make ends meet while starting a clothing business in their living room, eventually growing it into a multimillion- dollar success. At age twelve, Nikki started to do the bookkeeping and taxes after school. After graduating from college and entering the business world, she watched business owners like her parents battle government bureaucracy and overregulation.
Her frustration inspired her to get into politics and run for the state legislature. That first campaign, against an entrenched incumbent, led to racial and religious slurs and threats-but Haley, like her parents, refused to back down. She won on a promise to fight for reform, lean budgets, and government accountability, which is exactly what she did-much to the dismay of South Carolina's old guard politicians.
Soon she had a reputation as a conservative leader who could get things done. In the same state where her family was once ridiculed, she inspired a diverse grassroots following. In November 2010 she was elected South Carolina's first female governor and first nonwhite governor, and only the second Indian American governor in the country.
Haley's story, as told firsthand in this inspiring memoir, is a testament to the power of determination, faith, and family. And it's proof that the American Dream is still strong and true in the twenty- first century.

It is not a "great day in South Carolina" despite the mandate handed down by Haley that all state agencies answer their calls with this phrase. Saying it doesn't make it so govenor! Don't waste your time on this book.
Very poorly written and unbelievable.
What a wonderful book What A Beauitful Lady
This is the thoroughly engrossing story of Gov. Haley's life to date. It not only gives insight into her personal and political life, but gives a glimpse of the workings, good and bad, of the political scene in South Carolina. I highly recommend to to all, but especially South Carolina residents.
Nikki is great. Her story is the American dream. Fast read.
I read the first Chapter, told my wife she MUST read it. She is and will not let me have it until she finishes. She is a computer geek and reads paper pages more slowly than I....working my way through my "stand-by" collection. Should have ordered two copies and gifted hers when she finised. I break bindings fold pages, notate and lovingly abuse all my books so that no one will ever want them to sell. This book will be unreadable after I highlite, underline, circle and notate....
This was good reading. She has a backbone of steel !!
Very interesting story by a very incredible family. Well written and fascinating.
I am enjoying reading this book. It is an enlightening book about politics in the South, someone who is a minority and a newcomer to politics. Her story and attitude are truly amazing.
"cant is not an option" is a very inspiring memoir. gov haley at age 12 kept the books in her parents store and went on to bussiness school and went on to become one of south carolinas leading governors as well as one of the youngest one to serve in office so far. she is an amazing lady and I was impressed with her leadership skills in dealing with tough situations in not wanting to back down and always wanting to take the high road has alot of principles for every day life.

CHICAGO -- One day after he traded to the Chicago White Sox, Matt Davidson bought a brand new black cap with an S-O-X logo on the front and pronounced everything it represented as a perfect fit.
Davidson, who came to the White Sox in Monday's trade that sent closer Addison Reed to the Arizona Diamondbacks, is thrilled to be included in the team's young nucleus of up-and-coming players. No longer does he have guys like Eric Chavez or Martin Prado blocking his way from getting to the major leagues.
"I'm just extremely glad and blessed to have the opportunity to actually be in a team's plans like that," Davidson said about getting a chance to earn the Opening Day third base spot this spring. "That's what any player wants. Obviously the White Sox organization wanted me so much to make that trade. Addison is a great closer, he had 40 saves last year. It helps a lot with confidence since they believe in me. I'll go in with a good attitude, ears open and just have some fun."
The oddity of the trade is that Reed and Davidson work out at the same Southern California location in the offseason. Davidson is from Yucapia, while Reed hails from nearby Rancho Cucamonga, where the workout facility is located.
"It blows my mind," Davidson said of the coincidence. "It would have been awesome if we were right there working out at the same time and we both get calls. But I haven't touched base with him yet. I haven't been out there since like Thursday, but I'm sure we will touch base soon and give him some D-backs stuff."
Davidson said he has never been to Chicago, getting as close as South Bend when he played there at the low Single-A level with the Diamondbacks. But he has plenty of White Sox ties.
He knows White Sox outfield prospect Trayce Thompson from high school baseball and was a high school teammate with White Sox minor-league pitcher Scott Snodgress. He also noted that former White Sox third baseman Mark Teahen when to his high school. And in an even more odd degree of separation, one of his mom's good friends is Aaron Rowand's brother.
"It's kind of a small world that everybody has those ties to the Sox so I'm excited to see what the vibe is," he said.
As for his play on defense and his high strikeout tendencies in the minor leagues, Davidson said he knows he has work to do, but he doesn't lack for confidence.
"I'm confident with my defensive game," Davidson said. "Obviously it's always a work in progress. You can always get better. Even Gold Glove winners are always working on stuff to get better. The footwork, the hands, even the throwing, anything I'm just trying to clean up. Obviously having (manager and former third baseman) Robin (Ventura) there will be a huge help."
The White Sox like Davidson's power potential (he started last season as the Diamondbacks' No. 1 power prospect, according to Baseball America), but with the power have come the strikeouts. He whiffed 134 times last season at Triple-A Reno, 126 times in 2012 at Double-A Mobile and 147 in 2011 at Single-A Visalia.
"I've tried to fix it, and keep that steady line instead of peaks and valleys," he said. "There will be series where I K a ton, maybe 15-20 times a series, and then I'll go and strike out maybe five a series. If I can just get that consistent, I know that will drop a lot, but also, at the same time, I think it's kind of a different game now where people who are very successful, even hitting for high average are striking out a lot. If you do put up numbers, if you do hit for average, that kind of shies away."
