Hey, If It Can Make Greenspan Funny...
Of all the Web sites trying hard -- often too hard -- to extract humor from the New Economy's hard times, SatireWire lands the sharpest jabs
By Timothy J. Mullaney
If you can't laugh at the Internet right now, you can't laugh, period.
That's why, when the nominations for this year's Webby awards (think Oscars of the Web, except that Ishtar-scale financial flops do, sometimes, get nominated), I was especially intrigued to see the nominees in the Humor category: SatireWire.com, the suddenly ubiquitous F---edCompany.com (FC), TheOnion.com, NationalLampoon.com, and ModernHumorist.com. My vote goes to the one that does the best job sending up the amazingly overheated rhetoric, spending, and sheer wasted activity of the last two years of Net frenzy. And by that standard, the winner in the voting that closes July 18 should clearly be SatireWire. Now, this means casting aside TheOnion, one of the Web's venerable favorites, and FC, possibly the second-hippest cult site of 2000. (The funniest, by far, was "Stormtroopers," the homemade site that blended photos of the Elian Gonzales raid with audio from Budweiser's "Whassup" ad campaign -- or at least it did until the Associated Press threatened to sue over the use of its pictures of the raid.)
What makes SatireWire superior? Well, it's consistently fresher and better written than the often-ragged Onion and less sourpussy than FC, which is mostly a place for people to write "I told you so" in ever-cruder language. FC probably comes closer to representing popular sentiment about dot-coms right now: a mix of rage, ruefulness, and frustration. But SatireWire is more fun.
The site is set up as if it were a mock wire service that all but specializes in Internet news. It's timely as well as witty: Recent news of a survey contending 20% of online teens have received unwanted sexual overtures was answered within a day or so by a SatireWire report asserting that the majority of Web surfers are actually FBI agents posing as children. A report that California's economy, for all its woes, has just exceeded the gross domestic product of France was followed by a report that French workers had called a general strike to demand that the government do something about that. And the June Beige Book report from the Federal Reserve was met with a SatireWire sidebar reporting that the slowing economy has given Atlanta, which city fathers hype as "The City Too Busy to Hate," time to nurture grudges anew.
Say what you want about the specific jokes and their level of taste. If you can make the Beige Book funny, you're funny. But there's something else going on, too: knowing criticism of the nanny-state ethic implicit in calls for greater regulation of the Net, and of France's anti-entrepreneurial culture. Being able to blend the two is enough to make your site worth a look. And SatireWire's command of modern newswriting's style and form -- from straight wire-story sendups to a chronicle of riots at a dot-com refugee camp that perfectly mimics the tone and cadence of every hackneyed war-zone feature ever written -- gives it a stylistic edge as well.
What about the others? Modern Humorist and National Lampoon just don't have anything distinctive enough about them to belong in this class. Truth is, they're pretty dull. The Onion is funny enough, but its lack of focus results in tons of forced humor about bowel movements, menstruation, and other charming topics. It reads less like a satire magazine than the random thoughts of a few guys with a Web site -- though this week's bit about President Bush doubling the tax cut so that his own $300 rebate will increase enough to let him buy a Sharper Image chair was a hoot.
If you ask me who will win, though, I suspect the nod will go to F---edCompany. This "dot-com deadpool," where players compete to predict the crash of young companies, certainly has its points. Among my favorites: The intermittent appearance of actual management memoranda, often blaming employees for the demise of companies I'd never heard of (and if I've never heard of it in my job, they must have been pretty small and weak). Then there's the thrill of the hunt for those who get off on betting which dot-com will be next to announce major layoffs, get sued, or shut down. Like SatireWire, FC is just so on top of the zeitgeist that you almost can't help seeing people you know in some of the stories.
As you might expect, now that lots of people people are losing their jobs, FC is becoming an ugly place. It's more than the endless rounds of "I-told-you-so" that accompany the failure of companies anyone with two brain cells knew could never work, though there's certainly plenty of that. Personally, I already know plenty of synonyms for "penis," and I have little time for endless postings applying many, many new ones to seemingly each and every boss of each and every poster. A very long string of posts about sexual-harassment claims by former female employees of Juno Online services gets exceptionally ugly. I'm no prude, and I've flown a few missions that dropped the "F bomb" myself, but enough is enough.
SatireWire covers the same ground with more silliness and less ugliness. In other words, it's funny without being a cover for some anonymous poster's urgent need for psychotherapy.

Ivanhoe Identity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
The remaining and lower part of the hall was filled with guards, holding partisans, and with other attendants whom curiosity had drawn thither, to see at once a Grand Master and a Jewish sorceress. By far the greater part of those inferior persons were, in one rank or other, connected with the Order, and were accordingly distinguished by their black dresses. But peasants from the neighbouring country were not refused admittance; for it was the pride of Beaumanoir to render the edifying spectacle of the justice which he administered as public as possible. His large blue eyes seemed to expand as he gazed around the assembly, and his countenance appeared elated by the conscious dignity, and imaginary merit, of the part which he was about to perform. A psalm, which he himself accompanied with a deep mellow voice, which age had not deprived of its powers, commenced the proceedings of the day; and the solemn sounds, Venite exultemus Domino, so often sung by the Templars before engaging with earthly adversaries, was judged by Lucas most appropriate to introduce the approaching triumph, for such he deemed it, over the powers of darkness. The deep prolonged notes, raised by a hundred masculine voices accustomed to combine in the choral chant, arose to the vaulted roof of the hall, and rolled on amongst its arches with the pleasing yet solemn sound of the rushing of mighty waters. (37.4)
What's really interesting about Lucas Beaumanoir is that, in spite of all of his grand talk about self-restraint and getting back to the basics of the Templar movement, he loves putting on a show. He has a huge flair for the dramatic. Here we see that he sets up Rebecca's trial with an eye to what will most impress the peasants: chanting knights, solemn rituals, and imposing mannerisms. Beaumanoir believes he is restoring the Templar movement to its original, moral ways, but his pride in the glory of the Knights Templar also seems to break Christian rules of humility and self-effacement.
Quote #8
"Thou canst not fly," said the Preceptor [Albert Malvoisin]; "thy ravings have excited suspicion, and thou wilt not be permitted to leave the Preceptory. Go and make the essay – present thyself before the gate, and command the bridge to be lowered, and mark what answer thou shalt receive. – Thou are surprised and offended; but is it not the better for thee? Wert thou to fly, what would ensue but the reversal of thy arms, the dishonour of thine ancestry, the degradation of thy rank? – Think on it. Where shall thine old companions in arms hide their heads when Brian de Bois-Guilbert, the best lance of the Templars, is proclaimed recreant, amid the hisses of the assembled people? What grief will be at the Court of France! With what joy will the haughty Richard hear the news, that the knight that set him hard in Palestine, and well-nigh darkened his renown, has lost fame and honour for a Jewish girl, whom he could not even save by so costly a sacrifice!" (39.60)
Bois-Guilbert is a bad guy, no doubt. Still, he's at his best when he decides to give up his Knight Templar pride to rescue Rebecca. For a brief time he seems willing to compromise his arrogance so they can escape together (though he is never quite willing to admit to Beaumanoir that he is the one who put Rebecca in this position in the first place).
Bois-Guilbert is at his worst here in Chapter 39, when Albert Malvoisin persuades him to represent the Knights Templar in Rebecca's trial by combat. Malvoisin appeals to Bois-Guilbert's pride in his reputation and family name. And it works, sort of: Bois-Guilbert actually decides to participate in a duel that, if he wins, will mean Rebecca's death. Bois-Guilbert's identity is so bound up in his fame as a knight that he can't give it up, even if it means the death of the woman he loves.
Quote #9
"Call me no longer Locksley, my Liege, but know me under the name, which, I fear, fame hath blown too widely not to have reached even your royal ears – I am Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest."
"King of Outlaws, and Prince of good fellows!" said the King, "who hath not heard a name that has been borne as far as Palestine? But be assured, brave Outlaw, that no deed done in our absence, and in the turbulent times to which it hath given rise, shall be remembered to thy disadvantage." (40.110-111)
The captain of the outlaws/Robert Locksley/Robin Hood is the last of the disguised characters to be revealed in the book. But it's odd: the backdrop of Ivanhoe is primarily historical. King Richard and Prince John were both actual rulers of England in the 1190s, but Robin Hood has always been a legendary character, since he first appeared in medieval ballads. Maybe he's based on a real guy, but if so that guy has been largely forgotten by history. The introduction of Robin Hood into Ivanhoe takes us a bit out of historical novel territory and into romance or fantasy fiction. Why do you think Scott decided to mix in the Robin Hood legends with his historical tale of Normans vs. Saxons? What motivations does he give Robin Hood's character?

The You-Know-What is a compact disc containing unknown content in Super Paper Mario to be returned to Bestovius in the Piccolo sidequest. Nothing else is known about it except it is a collector's item, as revealed by Bestovius after returning it to him.
At one point, Bestovius gives the item to Old Man Watchitt, but he never returns it, despite having been asked several times. When Mario arrives at his house to collect the Training Machine for Merluvlee, Bestovius asks him to get it back in exchange; because Bestovius refuses to reveal any details about it to Mario, however he simply tells him to ask Watchitt to give him the "You-Know-What," hence the name given to it as an item. The You-Know-What can be obtained only from Watchitt after obtaining Merlumia's autograph for him. Once Bestovius is given the item, he gives Mario the Training Machine.

ICF International
Categorized Under: Business Process Operations + Optimization, Surveys
ICF supports the Coastal Household Telephone Survey (CHTS), one of the largest projects conducted for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). CHTS collects interviews from recreational fishing participants about fishing trips and the fish caught on those trips. The data are used to monitor fishing stocks, allocate fishery resources among competing user groups, and assess the impact of regulations on anglers and the sport fishing industry. The CHTS requires ICF to complete between 30,000 and 73,000 telephone interviews within two-week periods, six times a year, with multiple members of fishing households in close proximity to the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf Coasts.
ICF supports several NMFS projects by collecting accurate data on coastal fishing stocks, allocation of fishery resources, and the impact of regulations on anglers and the sport-fishing industry, and we have conducted the CHTS since 1996. NMFS supports national, regional, and local efforts to maintain healthy and sustainable fisheries while addressing the economic and recreational needs of the fishing community. Coastal recreational fishing makes up a significant portion of the total catches of many species of fish (in 2009, recreational anglers caught 391 million fish).

We first brought you news of the production version of the
Prius v, a larger variant of the popular Prius, back
in January. The Prius v is the latest effort by Toyota to expand its hybrid
reach and make the Prius nameplate its best selling model in the United States
(that honor currently goes to the Camry).
Ed Larocque, Toyota's Marketing Manager of Advanced
Technology, has confirmed
that the 5-seat hatchback will go on sale in October of this year. The
Prius v was supposed to go on sale this summer, but the earthquake
that hit Japan in March altered Toyota's production schedule.
Toyota hopes that it will find 30,000 buyers a year in the
U.S. for its new Prius v, which shouldn't be too hard a target to hit. Toyota
sold 140,928 Prii in 2010 alone.
The larger body of the Prius v allows it to have more cargo
room than its sibling (34.3 cu ft behind the rear seats versus 21.6 cu ft).
Toyota says that this better use of space will make the vehicle a better fit
for young families who don't want to step up to a mammoth minivan or crossover.
Unfortunately, maximum seating capacity for the Prius v is
an un-minivan-like five. Toyota offers a seven-seat variant of the Prius v in
Japan which is made possible because the Japanese market vehicle uses a
smaller, lighter lithium-ion battery pack which is located between the front
seats. In an effort to keep costs in check for the U.S. market, Toyota decided
to use an older style nickel-metal hydride battery pack which is located in the
cargo area, robbing space for the third-row seat.
Another downside is that the Prius v uses the same
powertrain as the standard Prius, yet it is over 200 pounds heavier. That means
that 60 mph comes up in a leisurely 11.5 seconds. The added weight and inferior
aerodynamic design mean that the Prius v can "only" muster 40 mpg
combined compared to 50 mpg combined for the Prius.
Pricing has not yet been announced, but it expect the Prius
v to be priced a few thousand more than a comparably equipped Prius.
The Prius family will grow yet again this time next year
with the 50+ mpg subcompact Prius c.

I have trouble pulling the trigger on this unit since I really need at least 3 for each speed light I use. It's nothing more than a battery tray for 8 batteries so it should be easy to duplicate.Does anyone know where you can buy a replacement cable? I could use that to go in a case you can get at Radio Shack real cheap.There are a few cheap cases out there as well, but they require the use of a PC cable for the flash which not all of my flashes have.And yes, for those that will sa I do realize I could damage the flash unit, but I only have one SB-910 I use for on camera for off camera and where I would want to use these are cheaper flashes (hey, they all generate bright light) so the risk is lower.

Hi Randall,Why would you need at least 3 Battery Pack for each Speedlight.What Speedlights or flash units do you plan on using the battery packs with?With Manual flash units like the Vivitar 285HV it would be easy to build a cheap battery pack and wire it to the flash via the battery compartment via dummy batteries.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,Marty
#2. "RE: SD-9 Battery Pack" | In response to Reply # 1
That should have been worded to say I need 3 packs for the 3 speedlights I have, not 3 for each one. The flash brands vary, but they all have the same Nikon connector as the SB-900 and SB-910 for commonality.
#3. "RE: SD-9 Battery Pack" | In response to Reply # 2
Hi Randall,Quantum makes the MKZ9 (DIN type plug) and SKZ9 cords that have Dummy Batteries SB-910 and SB-900 Speedlights.The External Power Port on Nikon Speedlights is wired directly to the capacitor and requires high voltage. I suspect that the same would be true for any third party Speedlight that uses the same plug.The CKE and CKE2 Cords for the Turbo Batteries will fit the External Power Port.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
#4. "RE: SD-9 Battery Pack" | In response to Reply # 3
Marty.. Thanks for tracking that down for me.I decided since I am shooting a wedding Saturday that I needed something real quick. Ordering some cables from a new company Flashzebra I noticed they had a unit for only $66. I figured why not give it a try.An added advantage is it can be used with 4 cells or 8 cells and it also comes with a nice carry case. I have played with it some and I never have to wait for the flash except on high power (manual) at 150mm zoom. Then its about 1 second for recharge. That is with 1.2v rechargeable batteries with 1.5 volt Alkaline you could probably get away with faster cycles.http://flashzebra.com/products/0267/index.shtml

Go to the website for Al Jacobs. He makes an industrial strength rechargeable battery pack for Nikons in several sizes. One is small enough to fit into the jacket pocket of a Tuxedo for wedding scenarios.You'll save money in the long run. Click on the tab for "Wedding Equipment" on his site. I've got a genuine Nikon SD-9, but though you've got a few extra batteries in it, you can't shoot forever. Maybe a factor of 2X or 3X in terms of power. A big advantage in recycle time, though.

Thanks, I looked at his site and to be honest didn't like the box or batteries. And true you can't shoot forever unless you are using 2500-2700mah batteries. But I have a different route I want to go and will be lighter and last a lot longer but I needed something for a wedding tomorrow - so the box I got will work. Just wanted to make sure I had one flash that would last all day.Then I will look at the cable and see what I can come up with.... Who knows maybe I will market my idea:)

Savory is the Herb of the Year for 2015.
Native to Western and Central Asia and around the Mediterranean, savory comes in two forms, winter and summer, both of which grow well here. Summer savoryis a tender annual, while winter savory is just that—evergreen and available for use year-round.
Less well-known is that both summer and winter savory have settled in the U.S., making themselves at home in the wild as well as in our kitchens. Summer savory is found in scattered areas of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states and as far west as Illinois and Wisconsin. Though an annual, it drops seed which sprouts readily in spring. Winter savory has been reported in the wild only in New York.
In its native Mediterranean area it is a part of some traditional dishes, including Bulgarian pork (slowly braised pork with onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, white wine, and enhanced with savory), and cabbage rolls (stuffed with a rice/ground meat/savory mixture). Across the Black Sea from Bulgaria, savory is as common in Georgian kitchens as oregano is here, appearing in a variety of meat, egg, and lentil dishes.
Summer savory (Satureja hortensis) is a culinary star. It gets accolades for what it adds to beans and bean salads: a mid-summer lunch of white beans, chopped tomato, cucumber, onions, parsley, summer savory, and a light dressing just can't be beat. It adds a bright, peppery flavor that perfectly balances the mild beans and veggies. Fresh leaves are best, but if you have an abundance, they dry well and will give good flavor over the course of fall and winter.
In the garden, summer savory can be a little demanding. Its light green leaves are attractive and flavorful, and the white to pinkish flowers are good for pollinators, but the multi-branched plant grows quickly to 12 inches or more and tends to get leggy. It is then subject to falling over in a summer rain-storm. You can stake them, or better yet, plant them among taller herbs and flowers which will act as supports.
Summer savory is an annual plant here and does best if seed is planted in the ground well past our last freeze date. It transplants easily, so purchased plants will let you get a head start.
Sprinkle chopped leaves liberally on fresh tomatoes and use with any vegetable. Use them in dressings, vinegar blends, or add a sprig or two to bouquet garni (a small bundle of mixed herb sprigs tied with string to drop into a pot).
Savory in both of its forms aids digestion, making it especially useful with beans. There are claims that crushed fresh savory leaves will alleviate the pain of bee stings, and it was used historically as an antiseptic and diuretic.
Winter savory (Satureja montana) is a lovely little plant that though some say it is not winter hardy here, does quite well in my garden as a perennial, providing fresh green sprigs year-round. Admittedly, in winter the little leaves may be a bit tougher, but they are still full of a pungent flavor akin to thyme.
S. montana var. illyricia,
purple winter savory
If you have a sensitivity to black pepper, adding winter savory to your foods will give a little of the same piquant taste.
Winter savory starts to send up fresh sprigs early in spring, rapidly forming mounds of tender stems 8-10 inches long. As the stems grow they become woody, the better to withstand winter. They produce small white flowers attractive to bees. Cutting back the longer stems a couple of times a year gives you plenty to dry for winter use when it is too cold to go outside, and opens the plant for better air circulation. You will also get a new flush of growth mid-summer.
Both winter and summer savory do best in full sun, and thrive in average garden soil.
Winter savory can be added to soups, stews, and vegetables. Canned and frozen vegetables, on which we rely in the winter, benefit from the addition of freshly picked savory which will bring back some of the bright flavor of fresh vegetables. It is also particularly good in rustic bean or potato dishes, adding depth of flavor
Savory of both forms is found in such commercial products as salami, sausage, and pickles. It pairs well with eggs, lentils, and stuffings, and is a part of blends for herbal liqueurs, vermouth and bitters.
Horseradish Sauce
8 ounces heavy cream
4 or more tablespoons grated horseradish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh summer savory
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Whip cream until thick. Blend remaining ingredients in a small bowl, then fold into cream. Cover and chill for 30 minutes. Serve with salmon, tuna, roast beef, or pork.
Green Bean, Gruyere, and Savory Salad
1 pound fresh green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
Separate onion slices into rings. Steam beans until just tender, about 5 minutes. While still hot, place in a medium-size bowl, and add all ingredients except cheese. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or longer, stirring occasionally.
To serve, place beans onto a serving platter and sprinkle with cheese.
Savory Marinade for Beef
2 cups red wine
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 shallots, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon fresh oregano (1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh winter savory (2 teaspoons dried)
Blend ingredients thoroughly. Place meat into a container and pour marinade over, coating meat. Cover tightly and place in refrigerator. Allow meat to marinate overnight or about 12 hours, turning several times. Drain off and discard the marinade, and cook as desired.
Khmeli-suneli (Georgian spice blend)
2 tablespoons dried marjoram
2 tablespoons dried dill
2 tablespoons dried summer savory
2 tablespoons dried mint
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoons coriander seed
1 tablespoons dried fenugreek leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
Blend all ingredients in a clean coffee grinder. Store tightly covered and use to flavor meats or sauces, such as Satsivi, a walnut sauce for meats and vegetables.
3 cups toasted walnuts, plus ½ cup roughly chopped
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Khmeli-suneli
Place 3 cups walnuts and ½ cup stock in a food processor; purée until very smooth. Add garlic, onions, and Khmeli-suneli spice blend. Blend until very smooth. Serve as a dipping sauce for bread, fish, or vegetables.

Kindle Ad Reveals 'Hunger Games' Spoilers
Twitter is all up in a frenzy over a photo of an advertisement in a Washington, D.C., metro for the Kindle version of "Mockingjay," the third installment in "The Hunger Games" trilogy. The advertisement displays the first paragraphs of "Mockingjay," which happen to reveal key plot points from the first and second books in the series. A staff member of Politico captured a photo of the ad and then Tweeted it, causing a Tweet-tempest.
(Spoiler Warning: don't search for the Tweet, unless you have already read the books, or you just don't give a Tweet; the same for clicking here, the photo by Munsil. Again, spoiler alert!)
The upshot: it's a big WHOOPS for Amazon in our super-sensitive Spoiler culture. Although the books have been published for years, many are only getting to them now amid the huge success of the Lions Gate film adaptation starring Jennifer Lawrence. And to many readers, the books are highly addictive and absorbing. The last thing most people would want is to be given the plot while casually waiting for the subway.
On the other hand, it's difficult for behemoth franchises such as "The Hunger Games" to keep secrets in the bag for long, because millions have already read the books, while others haven't or are only planning to see the film. In the meantime, the promotional and marketing trains roll on, with the assumption that most folks are in the know.
Amazon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

(Wales, UK)
Wales used the patronymic form of names well into the 19th century and you need to be aware of this when searching for your ancestors.
The quickest way to explain is that John, son of William would have been known as John ap William and his son David called David ap John.
Then the (English) Victorian administrators imposed surnames as we know them, at which point David becomes David Jones.
Add in the bilingual issues and its enough to make a family historian pull their hair out!
There's a useful article explaining this at http://tiny.cc/1tdqf .

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Remicade
WARNING: This medication can decrease your body's ability to fight an infection. This effect can lead to very serious (possibly fatal) infections (e.g., fungal infections, bacterial infections including tuberculosis). You should have a tuberculosis (TB) skin test before and during treatment with this medication. Also tell your doctor your medical history, especially of past/recent/current infections. You should also tell your doctor if you have lived or traveled in areas where certain fungal infections (e.g., coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis) are common or if you have been near someone with tuberculosis. Areas where these types of fungal infections are commonly found include the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the southwestern United States. See Side Effects section for symptoms of infections to watch out for, and seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms.
The immune system is also important in preventing and controlling cancer. Though it is very unlikely to happen, there is a risk (especially in children/teens/young adults) of developing cancer (such as lymphoma, skin) due to this medication or due to your medical condition. A rare, mostly fatal cancer (hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma) has occurred in people receiving this medication along with certain other drugs (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine) to treat Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms such as: unusual lumps/growths, swollen glands, swollen or painful abdomen, unexplained weight loss, unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, persistent fever or night sweats.
USES: This medication is used to treat certain types of arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis of the spine, psoriatic arthritis), certain bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), and a certain severe skin disease (chronic plaque psoriasis). In these conditions, the body's defense system (immune system) attacks healthy tissues. Infliximab works by blocking the actions of a certain natural substance (tumor necrosis factor alpha) in the body. This helps to decrease swelling (inflammation) and weaken your immune system, thereby slowing or stopping the damage from the disease.
HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using infliximab and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
This medication is given by injection into a vein over at least 2 hours as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition, weight, and response to treatment.

If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
Your doctor may direct you to use other medications (to help prevent side effects) before using infliximab. Use those medications exactly as directed.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, mark the days on the calendar when you need to receive the medication.

I've noticed a trend in power metal recently, where the genre is getting fractured in a way that does no one any favors. On the one hand, there is a group of bands that are taking power metal in a darker, heavier, more modern direction. While I like some of these bands, they largely suck the fun out of the music, which is one of the things that makes power metal special when done well. On the other hand, there is another group of bands that has taken the term 'flower metal' to heart, and sucked all of the heaviness out of the music, which only serves to make it sound weak
Of all the metal bands that have impressed me in the last decade, the vast majority of them have only managed to do so with a single album. Maintaining that level has proven difficult for many bands, but Orden Ogan is not one of them. My history with them goes back to the early days of independent bands putting their music online, where I stumbled across their song "Angels War". I was hooked, and tracked down their album "Testimonium AD", which was still rough, but a great starting point.
I first heard about Dragonforce before they became popular through the Guitar Hero games. I heard about their first album when it came out, and I was quite puzzled by what I was hearing. It was lightning-speed power metal, played at tempos I could barely register, and topped off with some of the most gloriously cheesy vocals and melodies I had ever heard. On paper, it sounded like a disaster, but they somehow made it work.
When last we heard from Sabaton, they were a band in a state of flux. "Carolus Rex" was the last statement of a band that was fracturing, a dividing line that will make clear what constituted the Sabaton sound all these years. The band split apart, with the majority of the instrumentalists forming the lackluster Civil War, and singer Joakim Broden keeping the Sabaton tradition alive. Band politics are often juicy fodder for the tabloid aspect of our world, but they mean nothing to the music, which is the only thing that should matter.
First off, what's important to underline before telling the Battleroar story is that "Blood of Legends" is not merely an album. The record exists as an exhibition in craft and the ability to tell a tale through a mix of classical narrative and metal elements. The metal part of Battleroar is merely the vehicle through which the story is progressed – if the heavy elements won't or don't fit, Battleroar is perfectly comfortable dropping them in favor of more atmospheric accuracy.
When last we saw Sonata Arctica, the veteran band was in the midst of rebuilding their legacy, after a detour that alienated a large portion of their fan base. That record was a step in the right direction, but not one that was up to the standard that everyone has set for the band. For every great song they wrote, there was a ridiculous attempt at pop stardom, or a banjo-infused number that made little sense. By this point, Sonata Arctica has spent almost as much time rebuilding their credibility as they did establishing it in the first place.
Normally, I'm not one who goes for gimmicks in music. I find them tacky, and mostly useless appendages that try to mask a band's deficiencies. Taking a cookie-cutter band and dressing them up in stupid costumes, or writing lyrics about only one subject, doesn't make them any more special. Gimmicks usually expose the band's shortcomings, because the obvious facade only draws attention to their perceived need to distract. I can think of very few bands with a gimmick who have managed to keep my interest, because a gimmick alone is going to get old after a while. Yes, even if you're GWAR.
Unless you're one of the small number of people who are devout fans of power metal, the term tends to lead you towards the ludicrous. Power metal is an exercise in excess, the kind of metal that doesn't ask why it's so over the top, but rather asks why the top is so low. While there are heavier strains of the music, the common denominator is that it's the kind of stuff 'true' metalheads are loathe to admit they have a soft spot for. To be fair, the reputation for being ridiculous is well-deserved, and Powerwolf wears that like a badge of honor.
We typically use this space to discuss the comings, goings and debuts of heavy metal, but let's step back a second and ask a metaphysical question: What makes great music? We can all voice our opinions about why we love music to our very cores, and in a debate rarity, we're all correct. The point is, no matter what our personal reasons are, they are all permutations of the same umbrella concept; like any non-visual medium, we appreciate that music gives us a mental image, or inspiration or a journey. Simply stated, no matter our stripes, music takes us someplace.
It's almost a rite of passage that at some point in their career every metal band will either make a concept album, or will at least write a thematic suite of songs. Something about compositions that extend beyond the usual boundaries of a four minute song is like catnip for artists, the sort of thing they think needs to be done to prove they are indeed artists at heart. What gets lost in translation is how few concept albums actually work as a focused piece of music.

AVON PARK – When Avon Park attorney David Lanier began practicing law, he sat as close to the open windows as he could so he could catch a breeze.
After working as a private practice lawyer, Lanier was appointed small-claims court judge in the old Highlands County courthouse when it was still clattering with the sounds of manual typewriters and had no air-conditioning.
Then, court cases were simpler at times than the class-action lawsuits so common today. Lanier once tried a case for a man seeking damages amounting to a dollar because "it was his day in court and we gave him all the attention we possibly could."
Lanier, 87, has been working in the Highlands County legal system as a judge or attorney since 1955 and will soon mark his 60th year in law.
To commemorate his six-decade dedication to the legal system as a former assistant state attorney, South Florida Community College attorney, county judge and circuit court judge, Lanier was the guest of honor at a special luncheon Aug. 15 at The Hotel Jacaranda.
There, representatives from the 10th Judicial Circuit Court -- Highlands, Polk and Hardee counties -- about 30 family members, friends, local government and civic members honored Lanier for his steadfast and dedicated legal commitment to the county and communities.
The luncheon was also an opportunity for Lanier to talk about his life growing up in Avon Park, his service in the U.S. Merchant Marines and U.S. Army during the Korean War and his eventual move into a legal career.
It was also held to acknowledge the Judge J. David Langford Professionalism Award he received in May for his 60 years of law service.
Following lunch, Lanier was interviewed and recorded. He recounted and recollected slices of time in a law career spanning back to carbon copy machines and launching into the digital age.
"I still have the carbon copy of the first will I drafted. I've made it this far without being disbarred," he joked.
In front of guests such as his son Jim, Circuit court judges Angela Cowden and Bruce Smith, Avon Park City Manager Julian Deleon, Administrative Services Director Maria Sutherland and City Councilman Parke Sutherland, Polk County Circuit Judge Mary Catherine Green led an hour-long interview and recorded it as part of an oral history project.
Lanier spoke of growing up on Lake Lotela, reading for fun and working as a teenager in the family's Ford automobile shop his father, Charles, opened after his banking and citrus business crashed during the Depression.
"I never had a problem as a teenager saying, 'There's nothing to do,'" he said.
Lanier, who still lives on Lake Lotela, recounted his education at Bolles Military Academy in Jacksonville where he was sent his junior year of high school and where he graduated as a sergeant in 1945, which influenced his sense of dedication.
But, as a teen, it was a neighbor, county judge Tom McNicholas, who impacted Lanier the most and impressed him enough he decide to pursue a law degree.
"I thought he was the smartest man I knew and at 14, I decided I was going to be a lawyer," he said.
In 1947, Lanier entered the University of Florida and earned a bachelor of science/bachelor of arts degree in finance in February 1951 and was accepted into the University of Florida Law School, getting his law degree in 1953 and juris doctorate in 1957.
After graduation, Lainer returned home to Avon Park with his wife, Sujette (who died Aug. 8, 2013), where for four years, he divided time between the family business and his law practice.
From 1955 to 1968 he served as the judge of the small claims court, Highlands County, and as city judge for Avon Park.
There were just three lawyers working in Avon Park at the time.
"It (adjudicating) was a little different atmosphere than what you have today; then, you'd work out a settlement. Rarely did we go to trial or court," he said.
As for what he "specialized" in during the early years of his career, Lanier said, "Anything that came through the front door." His practice now consists mostly of the preparation of wills and trusts, real estate and probate.
Over the years, Lanier has also dedicated time and talent to the Avon Park Rotary; the Highlands County Bank where he served on the board of directors; South Florida State College, where he taught business law; and the Walker Memorial Civic Advisory Board for Walker Memorial Hospital.
It has been his commitment and will to work for the people that has kept him in practice for so long, said some of his peers and city staff.
"As a young attorney, it's positive to see someone who has been in law that long and still shows respect and love for his profession," said Danielle Brewer, president of the Highlands County Bar Association and associate attorney with Swaine & Harris, Sebring. "He's one of the most beloved members of the bar by colleagues and the judiciary."
Green said she was fascinated with Lanier's insight into the bygone eras of Avon Park and law in mid-century Florida.
She said he still brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the profession.
"It's the oral history will really help us understand where we have been and where we are going. It's best to hear it from the people that lived it," she said.
According to Susannah Read Lyle, assistant director of public information for The Florida Bar, there are about 98,950 members with 86,069 in good standing to practice.
Some are retired, let their membership lapse or have been disciplined. There are 147 members, including Lanier, with 60 or more years of practice.
Lanier has two sons, Rick of Crystal River, and Jim of Avon Park.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Sherry Leverich Tucker
Sorghum Production, Sorghum, Amish, Sustainable Farming
Arthur Bolduc shares his story of experiencing life near an Amish community in Ohio, where he enjoyed the exciting process of sorghum production firsthand.
I'm a retired carpenter from Massachusetts and have lived in Ohio for about 13 years. I live in central Ohio, on the edge of the largest Amish community in the world. It's an interesting and beautiful place, especially in autumn with all of our hardwoods. I live about 15 miles from Malabar Farm, home of the late Louis Bromfield, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. I will probably spend the rest of my life exploring the state and enjoying Amish farms.
The Amish are not the backward people some would have us believe. They saw industrial agriculture coming when the first tractor showed up. They saw how coal strip mining scarred the landscape and fouled the rivers, and how the smoke from electric power plants polluted the atmosphere. They understandably shunned electrical power.
They farm the way they do to preserve the environment and to meet their needs, not to feed an insatiable greed. They want nothing more than to live their simple, Christian, agrarian lifestyle.
The Nisleys are an extended family of at least seven farms in the neighborhood, where they produce sorghum molasses. I was able to observe this time-honored tradition and provide photographs of it for you.
When the petroleum runs out and industrial agriculture collapses, they will be the people to look to as a reference for sustainable agriculture. In fact, they are already leading the way with a chain of produce auction houses from New York to Wisconsin. Farm cooperatives such as Green Field Farms even have their own Amish buggy label.
Amish communities use intermediate technology, labor-saving tools, and devices that minimize labor inputs without depriving others of a livelihood. They build much of their own horse-drawn equipment, tools and other necessities of life. Like all American farmers, they have seen their share of the food dollar cut in half in the late 20th century. Ninety percent have turned to cottage industries and off-the-farm jobs to subsidize their farm income. But the Amish will hang in there to see petroleum-dependent agriculture vanish. When that time comes, they will once again enjoy the modest prosperity of honest work.

The condition of having left or abandoned someone or someplace, often abruptly, under difficult or unpleasant circumstances, and with the implication of not intending to come back. Colloquial misspelling of "ran off." The term is derived from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou, in which an rather unlearned character wishes to convey to other characters that his wife left him but does not wish to say so aloud in front of his son.

The Jungle
by Upton Sinclair
The Jungle Chapter 8 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 8
- Tamoszius Kuszleika begins to fall in love with Marija Berczynskas.
- It seems to be a case of opposites attracting: Tamoszius is a tiny guy and Marija is hail and hearty.
- Tamoszius's fiddle can make Marija blush and bring Teta Elzbieta to tears.
- But Tamoszius's skill also has material benefits for Marija, because he brings her to all of the parties he's hired to play at.
- She has a wonderful time going out like this, and she brings back stories for the family to enjoy.
- One Saturday night, coming back from one of these parties, Tamoszius gets down on one knee and proposes to Marija.
- She is absolutely thrilled, and the two spend as much time in each other's company as they can.
- They plan to get married in the spring, and to fix up the attic into an apartment for them to share.
- Marija is so excited, right up until the minute when disaster strikes: her canning factory is shut down and won't reopen again for at least a month.
- Marija goes back out on the job market, but since all of the canning factories seem to have shut down for the post-holiday slump, she doesn't find anything.
- So, she tries shops, bars, and, finally, she looks for work as a servant to rich families on the lake front.
- The meatpacking factories don't close, but they offer shorter and shorter working hours during the winter.
- This means Jurgis is bringing in less and less money, even though he's still working hard.
- There is usually a rush at the end of the day when they have to work double-time to process all of the cattle that have come in during the day.
- Jurgis sometimes has to stay on as late as midnight or 1:00 AM.
- The worst thing of all is that the companies do not pay all of Jurgis's working hours.
- If a worker is even a minute late, he will not be paid for that hour he works.
- Still, a worker also gets no extra pay if he comes in early. And, even worse, he gets no pay for "broken time": if he works any part of an hour, but not a whole hour, at the end of the day, he gets nothing for it. Even if he puts in nine hours and fifty-nine minutes, he only gets paid for nine hours.
- This means that there is a constant struggle between the bosses, who try to finish everything quickly, and the workers, who try to stretch it out so they get paid for all of their time.
- Jurgis has gotten frustrated enough with these poor labor practices that he is now interested in joining a union. (For more on unions in the United States, check out our History of Labor Unions Learning Guide.)
- Everyone in the family soon becomes card-carrying members of a union.
- They all think that belonging to a union will save them from their troubles.
- Yet belonging to a union doesn't stop Marija's canning factory from closing down.
- So, she stands up at the next union meeting and complains.
- Since she gives her speech in Lithuanian, though, no one understands her.
- The first day that Jurgis goes to a union meeting, he also has a weird experience.
- He's sitting in a corner trying to go unnoticed when suddenly, a crazy guy named Tommy Finnegan approaches him and starts talking quickly (and totally incoherently) in thickly accented English.
- One of his fellow union members eventually rescues Jurgis, but not before he decides never to let Tommy Finnegan corner him again.
- Despite this embarrassing beginning, Jurgis decides never to miss a union meeting.
- Jurgis becomes a complete union convert, and resolves to spend his time recruiting other Lithuanians to the cause.

Typically, Microsoft Office applications don't easily save to the native document types of other Microsoft Office applications. This is understandable, as Microsoft Office is packaged as a suite, so anyone who has Word, Excel or Powerpoint probably has all three applications. However, less-common Office programs, such as Microsoft Project, have some overlap with other applications in the types of files they produce. Since these applications are less common, Microsoft has provided more file type options so that someone using Project can save her file to an Excel format and share it with individuals not running the Project application.
Double-click on your Microsoft Project file.
Click "File" at the top of the screen (Project 2003 or earlier) or the Windows button in the top-left corner (Project 2007).
Choose the "Save As" option (Project 2003 or earlier) or "Save As," and then "Other file formats" (Project 2007).
Click the arrow for the drop-down menu next to "Save file type as" and select the "Microsoft Excel (.xls)" option.
Select the location for your saved file and change the name, if necessary.
Click the "Save" button.
Tips & Warnings
- Project can only save one file at a time to the Excel format. If you need to save multiple reports, charts or timelines from one Project file, you must save each one individually.

An array of photodetectors, each having a variable sensitivity, forms the most important component of our two gallium arsenide chips. We designed the optical neurochip so that variable sensitivity photodiodes are monolithically integrated on top of an LED array, serving both as fast analog multipliers and as on-chip weight storage elements with learning capability. Our artificial retina device combines a VSPD array with a neural network for postprocessing, allowing us to perform fast, yet flexible, processing operations on projected images.

ARDMORE, Pa. -- The frustration was visible on Phil Mickelson's face Saturday in the third round of the U.S. Open.
If his birdie attempts weren't burning the edge of the hole, they were going in a different direction than what Mickelson had expected, a trait of the befuddling greens on Merion Golf Club's East Course.
But Mickelson never allowed himself to become distracted by the near-misses and finally broke through on the back nine with three birdies that gave him a real chance to win his very first national championship on Sunday, his 43rd birthday.
Mickelson shot an even-par 70 for a 54-hole score of 1-under 209, the only player to finish three rounds under par. He held a one-stroke lead over Hunter Mahan, Steve Stricker and Charl Schwartzel and was up by two shots over Justin Rose, Luke Donald and Billy Horschel, who shared the 36-hole lead with Mickelson.
The third round likely marked the end of Tiger Woods' bid to end a drought in majors that extends back five years. Woods shot a 76 and goes into the final round looking at a 10-stroke deficit.
A four-time major champion, Mickelson has been in this position before but has fallen short, finishing as the Open runner-up a record five times.
However, this is the first time he has held sole possession of the lead entering the final round (he was co-leader at Winged Foot with Kenneth Ferrie in 2006).
"I don't think I feel any more pressure than anybody else who wants to win the tournament, a major championship, the U.S. Open," he said. "But it would certainly mean a lot to me. This is a tournament for years I've had opportunities, I've come close. It would mean a lot (Sunday) if I could play some of my best golf, certainly if I can play the way I have been."
Mickelson showed the patience of a veteran Saturday, especially on the front nine where the birdie putts weren't dropping.
He was 2 over for the day at the turn and trailed by three strokes.
But the round turned at the 10th and 11th holes where he sank birdie putts of 4 and 15 feet.
He topped it off with a 10-footer for a birdie 2 at the 254-yard 17th hole.
Even though he finished with a bogey at the brutal 18th, he still had a one-stroke lead and plenty of optimism.
"I love being in the thick of it," he said. "I've had opportunities in years past and it has been so fun, even though it's been heartbreaking to come so close a number of times and let it slide. But I feel better equipped than I have ever felt heading into the final round of a U.S. Open."
Only nine players were within five shots of Mickelson entering the final round. Other than Mickelson, the other challengers have combined for one major -- Schwartzel's win in the 2011 Masters.
Schwartzel gained the lead with a birdie at No. 10 and was joined in first by Donald and, later, Mahan.
But Schwartzel and Mahan bogeyed their last two holes and Donald finished up bogey-double bogey. Still, Schwartzel and Mahan broke par with 69s, and Donald had a 71.
"Whenever you shoot under par on Saturday at the U.S. Open, you can't be too disappointed," Schwartzel said. "Anything under par is fantastic here."
That will be the goal on Sunday for everyone, particularly those in the top 10. Stricker, at 46 and 0-for-58 in majors, will join Mickelson in receiving sentimental support.
Then you have the 20-somethings -- Schwartzel (28), Horschel (26), Jason Day (25) and Rickie Fowler (24), who moved 28 spots up in the standings with a 67, the best round of the day.
But all eyes will be on Mickelson. He welcomes the opportunity.
"It's got the makings to be something special," he said, "but I still have to go out and perform."
Woods needed 36 putts on the severely undulating greens. He blamed his inability to gauge the speed of those baffling putting surfaces for his three days of uneven play.
"It's certainly frustrating because I was feeling like I was playing well this week, and I just didn't make the putts I needed to make," he said.
This Open marks exactly five years since Woods won his last major, at Torrey Pines. His pursuit of Jack Nicklaus' career record of 18 majors remains stalled at 14.
"I only hit one bad shot and made 10," he said in his classic no-fault mode. "My first shot was into the wind. My second one, I thought it was even better, and it went out of bounds by five inches. And then the third one wasn't great."

Top Teachers: Erin Bourne
Byrd M.S., eighth grade
Erin Bourne is willing to concede that the future employment opportunities of her current algebra students are unlikely to depend upon their abilities to solve quadratic equations on the spot.
But, they may depend upon their abilities to solve problems.
Bourne, who has taught eighth-graders for 11 years at Byrd, does her best to make algebra fun for her students while impressing upon them the importance of understanding the process they use.
"They might not use this specific topic, but what I'm teaching is problem-solving skills and how to use them," Bourne said.
It's working; Bourne is a student favorite who earns high marks for her classroom demeanor and willingness to help students who need assistance.
"Every child that has or has had her as a math teacher loves her," one nominator wrote of Bourne. "She is patient and inspiring. Her knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is above and beyond. She takes algebra and applies it to real life, and therefore the kids seem to appreciate why algebra is essential for life. She is well respected and highly regarded by all of the students in her class."
Math comes naturally to Bourne, who said she has always loved it but wasn't sure what she'd end up doing with it. A career fair in college helped sway her toward teaching.
Students appreciate her personality – a mix of excitement and occasional silliness.
"I have been told before by my kids that I'm very funny – they compare me to Jim Carey in my facial expressions," Bourne said with a laugh. "I'm very enthusiastic – I almost feel like I'm performing when I'm teaching."
Bourne regularly holds tutoring sessions before school begins to offer extra support for any students who need it. She can relate to those who do.
"The kids would probably be shocked to know that I took algebra twice," she said. "I got a C the first time in private school, then took it again in ninth grade."
The fit at Byrd has been a comfortable one for Bourne, who describes the faculty as a supportive family.
"Everyone is supportive, willing to help," she said. "Every year there's a new initiative that the county wants us to take on, and those faculty members who have been trained in it are anxious to help others."

There are many programs that are making efforts to help teens quit the habit of smoking. One of these groups or institutions involved in this effort is the Arkansas Psychiatric Clinic who arranges a clinical trial for teens in the 12-19 year age bracket. A study was conducted on Adolescent Smoking Cessation which aims to assess the protection, acceptability, and effectiveness of the trial drug upon adolescent smokers. The study emphasizes the point that teen smoking is usually initiated because of peer pressure. Most teens consider it to be cool to smoke cigarettes. However, we are all aware of the fact that smoking destroys an individual and can even prove to be fatal. Another point also arose in the study which suggested that most adult smokers began smoking in their teens.
Statistics tell us that adolescent smoking is highly prevalent. Dr. Brad Diner of Arkansas Psychiatric Clinic intends to help such children before their addiction becomes permanent. This is one of the prime reasons that the APC joins the countrywide clinical trial in an effort to prevent children from ever lighting their first cigarette. This clinical trial was introduced and developed by the Pfizer pharmaceutical company. Dr. Diner, the lead researcher, disclosed that the participants will be given a dosage of Chantix. Chantix has proven to be effective upon adults and the clinical group is researching its effects upon teenagers as compared to using placebos.
Although the law has set the legal age of smoking at 18, the clinical trial is testing adolescents to participate in the study from the age of 12-19. Dr. Diner further states that participation in the trial must be with parental permission, collaboration, and involvement. Parents will play a vital and significant role in helping their children quit smoking.
The participants will be given a placebo or a Chantix for a period of 12 weeks along with counseling sessions. Activities will vary in every visit and participants will be thoroughly evaluated to ensure that they are safe and doing well. The staff will also monitor the progress of the teenagers involved in the study and ensure that they are not suffering from any unpleasant side effects or unwanted experiences.
Just like any other study, the participants will be rewarded with incentives such as iTunes gift cards, candy, or a backpack in addition to the monetary benefit that is given to them for every visit made.
After the study, the participants will be monitored for nine months regarding their smoking habits. Hence, the study will be conducted for approximately one year. Currently, the study contains 300 participants and for those who are interested in participating in the study, please call the clinic at (501) 448-0060 for further information.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Our goal is to develop quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) instrumentation and advanced oscillators with enhanced sensitivity to address characterization of nanoparticles, including their interactions with the environment. Examples include: nanoparticle-based water remediation; nanoparticle purity and quality control; and nanoparticle uptake in biological systems. Our focus is on smaller sample volumes, which will decrease the cost of materials analysis and enable more rapid collection of statistically significant data populations.
Quartz crystal microbalances (QCM) are highly sensitive acoustic devices capable of monitoring sub-picogram mass changes in rigid coatings and thin films. Devices are typically comprised of a thin, piezoelectric, AT-cut, quartz crystal sandwiched between two metal excitation electrodes. When an AC voltage is applied to the electrodes, the quartz crystal oscillates at a characteristic frequency based on the crystal geometry, referred to as the resonant frequency. Any perturbation of the crystal surface (e.g., adsorbed mass) alters this characteristic frequency. To determine mass changes in the material coating, we monitored the resonance frequency of the quartz crystal using an impedance analyzer. During coating deposition, the resonance frequency decreases, with the shift in frequency directly proportional to the change in mass. On heating, the coating mass decreases due to oxidation of the material, resulting in an increase in resonance frequency.
We have developed an elevated temperature QCM technique that interrogates samples on the order of 1 microgram or less. This elevated temperature platform allows for thermogravimetric measurements to be made on samples 1000 times smaller above than commercially available thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), resulting in cheaper, rapid collection of statistically significant populations of data for monitoring nanoparticle purity. QCM measurements on nanoparticles in aqueous environments are being used to determine the feasibility of nanoparticle use in water remediation.
