Memo to Obama: Mid-East Peace in 1 Hour or your Money Back
Latest update: June 12th, 2013
Mr. President, this memo is written in a children's book format for several reasons:
1. To force simplicity and brevity
2. To demonstrate how uncomplicated the issues really are
3. To introduce levity to an otherwise grim history
4. I know you're the busiest human being on the planet, and this way it shouldn't take much of your time
My memo advocates including everyone who lives between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea in one democratic state with equal rights for all, with the proviso that it remain a Jewish homeland, as mandated by the nations of the world in 1920.
Just the other night, in Jerusalem, you said it couldn't possibly be done.
You were wrong.
Albert Einstein was a great physicist who died in 1955. He was among those rare people who taught the world brand new ways of looking at reality. It's not easy to come up with observations no one else had ever made before. That's why Einstein is still admired, to this day. Obviously, he was a very wise man.
No one is absolutely sure, but many believe that Albert Einstein came up with the following clever definition of insanity:
Insanity, he supposedly said, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
It doesn't mean that the people who engage in doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results are necessarily insane; only their actions are.
In the country known both as Israel and Palestine, today live between 8 and 10 million people. The majority are Jews, the minority are Arabs, but there are also many groups which are neither Jews nor Arabs.
Back in 1947, the official count was 1.6 million Arabs and 600 thousand Jews. That's when the first attempt was made to divide the land into two states, one Jewish, one Arab. This attempt ended in a war that lasted almost two years and claimed the lives of many thousands on both sides.
Remember what Einstein supposedly said about doing the same thing and expecting different results?
In 1993, another attempt was made to divide the land into two states. It resulted, just like in 1947, in rivers of blood. So the people in charge decided to try it again. And again. And each time they tried, they got rivers of blood.
You, Mr. President, have just urged the people in charge to have yet another go at the Two State Solution. It's very scary to me, because I know what will happen as a result. I'm not nearly as wise as Albert Einstein, but even I get it after so many tries.
We must find another solution, one that hopefully won't result in violence.
The size of New Jersey, the 5th-smallest U.S. state, is about 7800 square miles (20,000 square kilometers).
The territory of Israel or Palestine (different people call it different names) is only a little bit larger – 10,424 square miles (27,869 Square Kilometers).
There are many Jewish and Arab communities in New Jersey. Like many other residents, Jews and Arabs enjoy the state's proximity to the great city of New York, from the comfort of their suburban homes. I'm sure there are many things those two communities have in common, and many things they do very differently. Some Jews and Arabs probably collaborate in business and politics, others probably don't go near each other.
But one thing we know for sure: there has never been a war, or even a bloody skirmish, between the Arabs and Jews of New Jersey.
Same people, same size land, more or less, but in one country the two communities live in constant hatred, in the other they live in peace.
Somebody in New Jersey is doing something right.

KAHULUI - Maui Film Studios - boasting the largest soundstage in the state - is booked through next year with three projects lined up, including a pilot television series to begin production in September and a feature film.
In the meantime, the 22,000 square-foot facility in the Maui Lani Village Center is providing rehearsal space for Maui Academy of Performing Arts' production of "Les Miserables." The 80-member cast, accompanied by a 25-piece orchestra, will make its debut Aug. 16 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Castle Theater, according to a news release.
"We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with Maui Film Studios," said David C. Johnston, executive and artistic director of the production. "Moving into this space will make a huge difference in the way we rehearse this show and in the final product we present to Maui audiences next month."

Over the past three months, the cast of actors and musicians have been holding rehearsals in the nonprofit's dance studio in Wailuku, because "it's the biggest space we've got," said Vinnie Linares, president of the group's board of directors.
Johnston said that due to the confining space, crews resorted to placing masking tape lines on the floor to represent platforms and staircases.
"The actors can't get a feel for what the set will be like," he said. "Even professional actors need more time working on the actual set to be ready for opening night."
Looking for other suitable rehearsal spaces, the organization approached Socrates Buenger, owner and chief executive officer of the studio.
"I watched some videos of them practicing, and they were literally singing shoulder to shoulder - not moving," he said Tuesday.
Upon seeing the video, Buenger offered space on the east side of the studio, where the cast will rehearse and construct stages and props until Aug. 11. Then, they can move into Castle Theater.
When asked about the changes the studio has gone through since opening March 1, Buenger said he felt proud of the progress, albeit "exhausted."
"Of course I'm excited to have our first production scheduled soon and to be letting MAPA use our space for their rehearsals," he said. "I was here the other day for one of them, and I just stayed and watched - it was almost a euphoric feeling to see creative people using a space I worked so hard on.
"I imagine it'll be the same feeling when we start working on our pilot."
In about 45 days, the studio will begin filming a pilot episode for its own TV series that Buenger hopes will get picked up by a cable network. Buenger said due to contractual obligations he could not provide details about the premise of the show but acknowledged that the script is nearly finished and that he is looking to hire Maui residents for roles.
"We live by our motto to hire locally," he said.
Indicative of his approach, the studio held a job fair attended by about 2,200 people to build a database of actors, actresses and other entertainment professionals living on the island.
"It was a lot of dreamers, but that's OK because you want that sort of attitude," Buenger said of the fair in March. "When you look at big productions they're all a bunch of dreamers. They just happen to have the experience to make it happen."
Along with the studio's potential TV series, Buenger pointed to the two other productions - a feature film and a TV movie - that will provide "essentially hundreds of full-time jobs."
"(The feature film) calls for 500 extras for months, not just days," he said of the film.
The full length feature film is scheduled to use the Maui Lani facility from mid-March to September 2014. Prior to that, the TV movie is scheduled to film from October to March.
"The idea for this whole endeavor is to hire locally as much as possible, because it would cost a lot of money to bring people in and put them in a hotel," he said.
Buenger described his dream of producing a TV series.
"Series typically last longer and employ people for 10 months out of the year," he said. "TV series are massive money generators. Just look at 'Hawaii Five-O,' it's keeping many hundreds of people employed year-round."
The projects will bring jobs and money to the Maui economy. He estimated the total budgets of the three projects to exceed $200 million.
Before any filming takes place, however, the studio, a converted warehouse owned by Paradise Beverages, needs to be completely soundproofed. A portion of the concrete facility has been outfitted with 2-inch blankets against the walls and a sound absorbing material glued to the ceiling.
"Because it isn't finished yet, if you clap your hands you'll hear it echo for 5 minutes," he said with a smile. "When it's done, it'll sound like you entered your walk-in closet."

so I did some more playing with settings on my Moray and found that I can run 30* timing if I have the PWM at 16 khz and that it pulls about 900 watts and with the PWM at 8 khz that it pulled almost twice the watts.... so it was way less effecient at the 8 Khz setting so the setup Im running is the turnegy prop drive 35/36 1800 and the HK 60/70 amp controller with a 7X6E prop I may be able to get radared tomorrow or get a video that someone can doppler
take care
He was finally able to fly wot, with no spinner, which was the prob giving vibration. I saw it fly, still reckon his behaves best before wot. Quite windy today though. Good luck with your flight JAK

Three flights with the moray now lol, 2 on 2200 3s and 1 on 4s 1800, boy she does move on 4s
I don't like how nose heavy she is, considering putting servos in the wings which means I can get the battery further back.
hey there mustfly....
Im using this ESC http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...0_70A_ESC.html I have the 90/100 as well waiting to go in I use the HK UBEC
Id like to know RPM as well to know weather the higher amps means more RPM or if it means less effeciency
these speed controllers seems to work smoothley when set up correctly
take care
I flew the hell out of the Moray today :-) had a blast and got a few compliments from folks on its speed and tracking... like its on rails :-) I think Im ready to step up to 5S :-)
more fun then a barrel of monkeys
I seem to be pulling more watts with this motor and a 7X6E close to 1KW at 15* timing and PWM at 16KHZ I noticed you pulling 650 in the pic... I wonder what your timing was?
the odd thing is that I was flying over the weekend and I re set the timing and on the next couple of flights I notices the battery life shortened (flight time shortened) when I checked watts today it was 1300 watts and I reset the PWM and it went back to about 900 watts but the RPM sounded the same... I was careful when I set the timing that I wasent setting PWM the chimes were 3 for15* and the chimes for 16KHz are 2 chimes and in the PWM menue there are only 1 chime and 2 chime not 1,2,3 and 4 like in the timing menue
sorry for the ramble... just Id suggest when using the speed controller I use that when you make changes you re check watts to ensure nothing else got changed .... anyway have a great week
this motor is a great upgrade to the moray
Good question! Pretty sure I used the blue esc, timing to auto. But with a 7x5e. It was a quick test as I had that motor aside and figured it might work in the Moray, so just had a quick look. Battery an oldie too.
Rpm at 16000. As I don't have the plane with me I can't re-check or adjust timing, but will look into it again when I catch up with my friend. However I have noticed they are in stock in oz, sooooo might have to set myself up with one.
13V X 1800 RPM is about 23K RPM and at 12V is 21,600 RPM 12V is where my ESC cuts power on 4S
you must have been at about 9V to hit 16K RPM?
Ill go back and look at the pic of the log???
the KV of that motor must have been 1400 or lower to get that RPM and wattage from what I see.....
I think I hit 650 watts with the stock motor.....
I dont mean to be argumentative Im only curious about the differences :-)
its the nerd in me that likes the data :-)
only curiosity:-)
have a wonderful week :-)
and thanks for posting back
If you look at the kv number, bottom right hand corner, that is the instantaneous kv at that moment the reading is taken, ie under load so 1185 x 14.33 to give 16,981, which is pretty close to the on screen reading. Sorry my screen is not clear there as the LCD screen has a flaw of some sort. Thrust numbers are dependent on a prop co-efficient to be entered, not sure how this is worked out but comparisons can be made between props.
The number above kv is efficiency which doesn't look great static, hopefully would improve in the air, and kv rise too. Best to get real flight details, not much room in the moray for the data unit though. I use it alot in larger gliders for readings.
I would be out in the shed getting some more readings and confirming my original post if I had the motor but I don't anymore.
I guess the conclusion is, is that this $18 motor underload doesn't do too well seamingly. I haven't checked no load kv but I thought I saw on ecalc it was actually rated at 1700, yes it is, so maybe not the 1800kv to begin, again have to measure. Well thanks for the query, and when I get the chance I will test again.
Take it easy. Brendan
thank you for posting back and not taking offense to my bagering :-)
maybe you got a defective motor?
Im sure they are posting the no load KV and Im also sure that changes under load to some degree
they show a vid of the motor being dyno tested as if they dyno each motor before boxing it..... I dont know if thats true or not.....
I need to get a datalogger or at least a tach of some sort
take care

Hi RC-junky
Elevator high rate 10mm low 5mm, aileron high 5mm low 2.5mm, I moved the aileron pushrods in closer to the servo centre at 2nd hole out, this give greater mechanical advantage for the servo, I plan to replace the single servo with one in each wing from the bottom, with the arm through the top of the wing.
This will allow the battery to sit back further and also give differential on the ailerons to improved the roll. On the maiden and a few laps to trim the moray out I went ahead and gained more height to explore its stall with elevator, with the low rate the plane refused to stall even with full back stick, on high rate it did stall with full back stick, it would drop and wing but did not enter a spin, I decided when it came time to land, to do so on low rate, I was surprised how much speed to could wash off before she touched down.
This set up suits my personal flying style but may not be for everyone.

Raymond Felton, at times, might be the most frustrating New York Knicks starter to watch. His amazing ability to toss up reckless shots in crunch time has forced me to berate my television set multiple times already this season.
However, despite his volume shooting and mediocre field goal percentage, it is undeniable the role Felton has played in leading the Knicks to their hot start.
Not only has Felton been instrumental in helping the Knicks to their NBA low 11.0 turnovers per game, but he has excelled on offense using the pick-and-roll with Tyson Chandler.
The Felton-Chandler pick-and-roll has added another dimension to the Knicks offense, allowing the team to diversify its attack. This has taken pressure off of Carmelo Anthony and helped make the Knicks' offense one of the NBA's best.
To further validate Felton's importance to the Knicks, he is a member of eight of the team's nine most productive five-man units according to NBA.com.
Although his game may be flawed, Felton is undoubtedly a key part of these New York Knicks.
As he sits out for the next four to six weeks with a broken finger, the Knicks will definitely miss his presence.
Yet there are several things the team can do to keep winning during his absence.
Here is a glance at five of them.

BoE Q1 inflation report wighed on sterling
17 May 2012 • Source: Richard Driver, CaxtonFX
Yesterday's release of the Quarterly Inflation Report from the Bank of England weighed on sterling. The 2-year UK inflation projection was seen lower, while growth expectations were also downgraded, which along with some dovish comments from Mervyn King, stoked fears that the BoE will introduce more QE at some stage.
A minor Spanish auction and some US manufacturing and employment data are the key events on the data calendar. Speculation around Greece's future remains the market's first concern.
STERLING/EURO: This pair lost half a cent on perceived dovish signals from the Bank of England.
• As ever with a release like the BoE's Quarterly Inflation Report, there are plenty of important statements which the market can latch on to. It appears the market paid more attention to a lower long-term inflation forecast and King's assurance that the door remains to further QE from the BoE. What makes QE unlikely in the near-term is the projection that UK inflation will remain above target until mid-2013.
• We don't see yesterday's developments as a game-changer as far as GBP/EUR's uptrend is concerned, particularly as concerns of capital flight (bank run) from Greece grow. This pair is trading at €1.25.
STERLING/US DOLLAR: The dollar continues to strengthen over the pound, with the US Federal Reserve meeting minutes revealing no new information.
• The Fed is still waiting to see how the US economy recovery develops before considering further quantitative easing. The US economy has slowed down in recent months but not sufficiently to convince the Fed of the need for QE3. Downside risks from the eurozone of course remain a key consideration and the Fed will not hesitate to take action in a worst case scenario.
• The dollar remained firm after the release of the Fed's minutes and this pair is trading down at $1.59 this morning. There is still plenty of demand for the safe-haven dollar.
EURO/US DOLLAR: The euro traded sideways against the US dollar on Wednesday, though the ECB stoked Greek fears.
• It has been reported that the ECB has excluded four Greek banks in its regular liquidity providing operation, which is hardly conducive to shoring up market confidence in Greece. The fresh Greek elections will be held on June 17th and pro-bailout parties currently look unlikely to secure enough support. In truth, the market is in the dark and a nearly a month of waiting is likely to weigh on the euro further.
• This pair trades at $1.27 and risks are almost perpetually skewed to the downside here, with market confidence continuously on the wane.
STERLING/AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR: A brighter session for Asian equities gave the aussie dollar some further respite.
• A rebound, in the wake of such an aggressive sell-off such as the one we have seen in relation to the aussie dollar this month, is not uncommon and this is what has brought the GBP/AUD off its highs this week. Asian equities staged a minor recovery last night but it is hard to see risk appetite making any sustained recovery amid prevailing eurozone uncertainties.
• Sterling is trading at 1.60 this morning but sterling should avoid further losses, particularly as it benefits from decent support at current levels.
STERLING/NEW ZEALAND DOLLAR: Sterling's upward progress against the kiwi dollar stalled yesterday but these remain excellent levels.
• Sterling is a cent off its six month highs of 2.09, but this still represents a near 8% climb in the past month. Some better than expected NZ producer prices data also give the kiwi dollar a lift last night, as did a more positive tone in the Asian session.
• This pair is trading at 2.0750 and this recovery for the kiwi dollar should not last too much longer, we still favour sterling.
STERLING/CANADIAN DOLLAR: This remained range-bound as weak US equities cancelled out the effects of the BoE's Quarterly Inflation Report.
• US equities made further losses on Wednesday, no doubt driven by concerns over Greece and the ECB headline in particular. Today's US data could provide this pair with some direction, with more strength likely to be indicated within the US manufacturing sector.
• Sterling is trading at 1.61 against the Canadian dollar, right in the middle of this week's trading range.

South African hospital uses kitchen garden to grow healthy vegetables and financial savings
What's better than a win-win story? A win-win-win story of course! I recently came across this inspiring article about the Helen Joseph Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"We are using the kitchen waste to make compost for our vegetable garden, where we now grow and harvest vegetables for patients to consume during their stay at our hospital - resulting in further financial savings on food expenditure, says hospital chief executive Gladys Bogoshi."
The hospital's three wins: 1) Healthy foods (450 pounds, 217 kilos per month) for sick patients. 2) Reduced wastes through composting. 3) Financial savings from not having to buy as much food and pay for kitchen waste removal.
Inspired by this, I'm creating a new issue category called "hospital gardens" as I hope and suspect we'll see more of these in the years to come.

Amgen Fills Gap for Early Biotech as Venture Funds Shy Off
When Amgen Inc., the world's largest biotechnology firm, decided that heart drugs being developed by startup MiRagen Therapeutics Inc. were too risky for a partnership deal, the company didn't just walk away.
Instead, Amgen turned to its venture capital arm to help fund the 4-year-old company. While Amgen has cut research spending, the Thousand Oaks, California-based biotech says its venture fund has invested in 26 companies since starting with $100 million in 2004.
"This is where all the drugs are coming from," said Tracy Lefteroff, managing partner of life sciences services at PricewaterhouseCoopers in San Jose, California. "There is no successful drug development really going on in large pharma. They've been extremely ineffective at developing pipeline drugs internally."
Use of corporate venture funds has been a growing phenomenon this year as traditional venture capitalists shy off because of increasing U.S. regulatory and marketing hurdles. Corporate venture funds were involved in 25 percent of early stage U.S. biotechnology financing deals during the first half of 2011, compared with 15 percent for all of 2010, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association. The funds represented 12 percent of total investment, compared with 5.3 percent last year.
Corporate funds don't have to raise money from outside investors, and their parent companies have been stockpiling cash. The 12 biggest drugmakers have $157 billion in cash and short-term investments as of their most recent quarterly reports, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Investing in early stage biotechnology companies can create strategic and financial benefits, Lefteroff said.
Failed Investments
To be sure, a majority of biotechnology investments fail. Less than 10 percent of therapies being developed for a specific condition or disease from 2003 to December 2010 won regulatory approval, according to a study of 4,275 drugs by BIO Investor and BioMedTracker, a San Diego-based research service.
MiRagen received $1.5 million, a bit less than the typical first investment. If the Boulder, Colorado-based startup's drugs work, the ideal is for the company to become a partner with Amgen in later development, or be acquired by it, though that isn't a given, said Janis Naeve, director of the San Francisco-based fund.
"There's still some fantastic opportunities out there," Naeve said in an interview.
Finding Prospects
The fund seeks treatments for illnesses including cancer, heart disease, inflammation and blood diseases. A year ago, Amgen Ventures was one of five funds including Eli Lilly & Co.'s Lilly Ventures to invest in a $36.5 million round of funding for Sutro Biopharma Inc., based in South San Francisco, California. Sutro is developing a way to create novel therapies from antibody-drug conjugates.
Amgen Ventures typically spends $2 million to $3 million for its first investment in a company, and $10 million in total, Naeve said. Two companies supported by the fund have been bought. Amgen acquired Avidia, a developer of drugs for inflammation and autoimmune diseases, for $290 million in 2006, and Gilead Sciences Inc. purchased Calistoga Pharmaceuticals Inc., in February for $375 million for its cancer and inflammation treatments.
"It would be great if the business develops, or is acquired by Amgen, but it's fine if it doesn't," Naeve said.
Amgen slid less than 1 percent to $56.59 in New York trading. The shares have gained 3.1 percent this year.
Boehringer's Fund
Michel Pairet, head of Ingelheim, Germany-based Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH's 100 million-euro ($132.4 million) venture fund, which was founded in March 2010, expects 10 percent to 15 percent of the companies he invests in to be acquired by Germany's largest closely held drugmaker.
"Of course I will be delighted if they are acquired by another big pharma and that I have a return to re-invest," Pairet said.
While corporate venture funds aren't new, their prominence has risen since the recession as a lifeline to biotechnology companies as traditional investors seek quicker, and safer bets, said John Craighead, managing director of the Biotechnology Industry Organization in Washington.
"Corporate VCs have always had an important role in venture investing," Craighead said in an interview. "Given the environment right now, where we've seen far fewer investments by private VCs, their relative importance has increased."
The shift means corporate venture funds are becoming bigger backers of companies with drugs and devices that are years away from Food and Drug Administration approval. The funds are being approached by startups directly, and are finding themselves leading groups of investors rather than playing a side role.
Leading Role
"Historically, we liked syndicates that have been led by others," said Atul Saran, senior vice president of corporate development and ventures for AstraZeneca Plc's MedImmune Ventures, in an interview. "Now we're looking at more we're tending to lead ourselves."
Funding startups to develop medicines is often cheaper, and less risky, than drugmakers doing the work in-house, said Kevin Centofanti, senior managing partner and head of the health-care practice at Brooks Houghton & Co., a New York-based investment bank.
"Large firms can't be as nimble, and they can't be as typically innovative either," Centofanti said in an interview. "Frankly, it's a cheaper way for them to get into the drug development game."
Amgen ranks third in venture investing from 2005 through the first half of this year, behind Novartis AG, the Basel, Switzerland-based drugmaker that is Europe's second-largest, and Novo Nordisk A/S, the world's biggest insulin maker.
'This is Neat'
Amgen's investment with MiRagen began after a company scientist saw a presentation by the startup soon after its founding in 2007, William Marshall, MiRagen's chief executive officer, said in an interview. That led to a meeting with the venture group's parent company.
Amgen's reaction was, "'Man this is neat, there's some really compelling data, but boy is it early,'" Marshall said.
MiRagen's therapy relies on small molecules, called micro RNA, that block the protein-making work of genes linked with heart failure. The science behind the therapy was demonstrated in mice in a study published by the journal Nature in 2006.
Amgen's investment was critical for MiRagen's future, because it validated the research, which traditional venture capitalists are seeking when they make decisions, Marshall said.
"Once a validating partnership occurs, VC financing is easy to come by," he said. "You can get the money when you don't really need it. It's a wacky state of affairs."
Corporate funds can take a longer view on development, since they don't have to raise money from outside investors expecting quick returns, said Steven Weinstein, managing director of Novartis Venture Funds in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"Years ago, you'd say 'Wow, that's an amazing biological concept, or an amazing platform, and I'll fund it and we'll figure out what to do with it," said Weinstein. "Now, you don't do that bet."

Update on man getting testosterone hormone replacementUPDATED 9:40 AM CDT May 08, 2013
Last week when Rich Jackson was tested for low testosterone. We find out how hormone replacement is working for him.Video Transcript
WHO IS WANTS TO FEEL YOUNGER. TO DO THIS HE IS TRYING TESTOSTERONE HORMONE REPLACEMENT. LAURA HUCKABEE HAS THE UPDATE ON HOW THE TREATMENT IS AFFECTING HIM TONIGHT. Laura Huckabee says: " Rich Jackson lives in Rogers and has decided he wants to look and feel younger. Last week he decided to try testosterone hormone replacement therapy. This week, we checked back in." An OPTIMAL TESTOSTERONE LEVEL FOR A MAN RANGES ANYWHERE FROM 800 TO 1200. LAST WEEK WHEN RICH JACKSON WAS TESTED AT REVIVE HEATH IN ROGERS, HE FOUND OUT HIS TESTOSTERONE LEVEL WAS SLIGHTLY BELOW THAT. HIS LEVELS WEREN'T ALARMINGLY LOW BUT BECAUSE OF HIS SYMPTOMS: FATIGUE, LOW ENERGY, AND A DESIRED WEIGHT LOSS, DOCTOR JENNIFER BINGHAM GAVE RICH A MINIMAL 250 MILLIGRAM DOSE OF THE HORMONE REPLACEMENT. IT'S BEEN A WEEK. SO HOW DOES HE FEEL? "I feel great. I think one of the things I am noticing is that I am waking up earlier and ready to go when I get up. Which is really one of the things I was hoping I would have. " AND THAT'S NOT THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT. Rich Jackson: "workouts are substantially better. I have a ..I can work consistently longer. And that is something you absolutely notice when you work out." SO FAR ... SO GOOD. DR. BINGHAM HAS DECIDED SINCE HIS NUMBERS WEREN'T THAT LOW TO BEGIN WITH, SHE IS GOING TO STAY WITH THE SAME DOSAGE WHICH IS 250 MILLIGRAMS. Dr. Jennifer Bingham: .....So what we are going to do now is to continue the testosterone on a weekly basis is. ....... I am going to treat him for four weeks. At that time I am going to repeat the lab to make sure that the testosterone level that I am following........... we'll make sure it is going up as expected. BUT REACHING THOSE MAXIMUM LEVELS TAKES A LITTLE TIME... AND PATIENCE. Dr. Jennifer Bingham: ..... It may take a little bit - meaning one to two weeks, but as we see that going, he should have more energy sleep at night better, a better exercise tolerance, and that is the main thing I would expect to see from him. " Laura Huckabee says: as we continue to follow Rich's progress -- the extra testosterone hormones will have had two weeks to be in his system. We'll let you know what kind of an impact these extra hormones are having on him... And if he's pleased with the result." IT'S TOUGH TO JUDGE RESULTS THIS SOON. SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW RICH'S STORY, AND WE'LL

A longtime hunting buddy of mine calls them the "gray birds of Sept." He is referring, of course, to mourning doves and Canada geese, which traditionally usher in the early fall hunting seasons on September 1, and these two popular game birds will draw thousands of hunters afield this month.
Dove hunting was closed in Pennsylvania back in 1913 when mourning doves were placed on a list of protected birds by the General Assembly. Doves were later reclassified as game birds in 1937, and a hunting season for mourning doves was again established in 1945. Since then, generations of wing shooters have begun of their autumn hunting rituals swinging their shotguns at fast-flying doves crossing the September sky.
Dove hunting in Pennsylvania is currently divided into three seasons. The first of those started yesterday runs until Sept. 29. During this first split, hunting begins at noon and ends at sunset. The second and third seasons run from Oct. 27 to Nov. 24 and Dec. 26 to Jan. 5. Start time during those two installments is a half hour before sunrise. The daily bag limits is 15 doves during all three seasons.
The early Canada goose season also opened on yesterday. This September goose hunt began in 1992 as an experimental measure in seven counties in the northwest section of the state as a effort to control excessive populations of resident geese. In 1993, it was expanded to 10 counties, then 26 counties in 1994, and finally became a statewide season in 1995. The resident Canada goose population in Pennsylvania expanded significantly from 1990 to 2004, and increased hunting opportunity has been one of the most effective management tools for controlling these birds. Overall numbers of resident geese have declined somewhat over the past nine years, but our Canada goose population was estimated at 220,000 birds last spring, which is still well above the management goal of 150,000 spring birds.
This continuing abundance of Canada geese allows a generous daily limit of eight birds during the early season in most areas of the state.
Two Junior Waterfowl Days also occur this month on Sept. 15 and Sept. 22 for licensed junior hunters 12 to 15 years old who are accompanied by an adult. During these youth hunts, junior hunters may take Canada geese, ducks, mergansers, coots and moorhens, and daily bag limits are the same as those for the regular season in the area being hunted.
Keep in mind that all dove and waterfowl hunters must have a Pennsylvania Migratory Game Bird License in addition to a general Pennsylvania hunting license. All duck and goose hunters 16 and older are also required to have a Federal Duck Stamp.
The regulations for waterfowl and other migratory birds tend to be more than a little complicated as well as varying quite a bit in different areas of the state. And because most of those seasons and bag limits are set too late to appear in the rulebook that comes with your general hunting license, it's always a good idea to consult the annual waterfowl and migratory bird season brochure that the Game Commission compiles to present all the pertinent information. As a cost-cutting measure, however, the Game Commission no longer prints the brochure for distribution through license agents and post offices, so hunters who want a copy of it now need to download and print one from the Game Commission website (www.pgc.state.pa.us).
Tomorrow is the second final Fish for Free Day here in Pennsylvania for 2012, so a fishing license is not required to fish anywhere in the state. If your Labor Day plans will include some fishing time, why not invite a friend or family member to try the sport?
Or if you are one of the many casual anglers who don't buy a fishing license every year, think about dusting off your tackle and spending some time on the water.

Computational Study of Small Molecule Activation via Low-Coordinate Late First-Row Transition Metal Complexes
Date: May 2010
Creator: Pierpont, Aaron
Description: Methane and dinitrogen are abundant precursors to numerous valuable chemicals such as methanol and ammonia, respectively. However, given the robustness of these substrates, catalytically circumventing the high temperatures and pressures required for such transformations has been a challenging task for chemists. In this work, computational studies of various transition metal catalysts for methane C-H activation and N2 activation have been carried out. For methane C-H activation, catalysts of the form LnM=E are studied, where Ln is the supporting ligand (dihydrophosphinoethane or β-diketiminate), E the activating ligand (O, NCH3, NCF3) at which C-H activation takes place, and M the late transition metal (Fe,Co,Ni,Cu). A hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) / radical rebound (RR) mechanism is assumed for methane functionalization (CH4 à CH3EH). Since the best energetics are found for (β-diket)Ni=O and (β-diket)Cu=O catalysts, with or without CF3 substituents around the supporting ligand periphery, complete methane-to-methanol cycles were studied for such systems, for which N2O was used as oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reagent. Both monometallic and bimetallic OAT pathways are addressed. Monometallic Fe-N2 complexes of various supporting ligands (LnFe-N2) are studied at the beginning of the N2 activation chapter, where the effect of ligand on N2 activation in end-on vs. side-on N2 isomers ...

Effect of Fluorine and Hydrogen Radical Species on Modified Oxidized Ni(pt)si
Date: May 2010
Creator: Gaddam, Sneha Sen
Description: NiSi is an attractive material in the production of CMOS devices. The problem with the utilization of NiSi, is that there is no proper method of cleaning the oxide on the surface. Sputtering is the most common method used for the cleaning, but it has its own complications. Dry cleaning methods include the reactions with radicals and these processes are not well understood and are the focus of the project. Dissociated NF3 and NH3 were used as an alternative and XPS is the technique to analyze the reactions of atomic fluorine and nitrogen with the oxide on the surface. A thermal cracker was used to dissociate the NF3 and NH3 into NFx+F and NHx+H. There was a formation of a NiF2 layer on top of the oxide and there was no evidence of nitrogen on the surface indicating that the fluorine and hydrogen are the reacting species. XPS spectra, however, indicate that the substrate SiO2 layer is not removed by the dissociated NF3 and NiF2 growth process. The NiF2 over layer can be reduced to metallic Ni by reacting with dissociated NH3 at room temperature. The atomic hydrogen from dissociated ammonia reduces the NiF2 but it was determined that the ...

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis, Characterization, and Photophysical Properties of New Rhenium(I) Pyrazolyl-Triazine Complexes
Date: May 2010
Creator: Salazar Garza, Gustavo Adolfo
Description: The reaction of the chelating ligand 4-[4,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]-N,N-diethyl-benzenamine, L, with pentacarbonylchlororhenium by conventional heating method produces the complexes fac-[ReL(CO)3Cl2] and fac-[Re2L(CO)6Cl2] in a period of 48 hours. The use of microwaves as the source of heat and the increase in the equivalents of one of the reactants leads to a more selective reaction and also decreases the reaction time to 1 hour. After proper purification, the photophysical properties of fac-[ReL(CO)3Cl] were analyzed. The solid-state photoluminescence analysis showed an emission band at 628 nm independent of temperature. However, in the solution studies, the emission band shifted from 550 nm in frozen media to 610 nm when the matrix became fluid. These results confirm that this complex possess a phenomenon known as rigidochromism.

The Pure Rotational Spectra of Diatomics and Halogen-Addition Benzene Measured by Microwave and Radio Frequency Spectrometers
Date: August 2010
Creator: Etchison, Kerry C.
Description: Two aluminum spherical mirrors with radii of 203.2 mm and radii of curvature also of 203.2 mm have been used to construct a tunable Fabry-Perót type resonator operational at frequencies as low as 500 MHz. The resonator has been incorporated into a pulsed nozzle, Fourier transform, Balle-Flygare spectrometer. The spectrometer is of use in recording low J transitions of large asymmetric molecules where the spectra are often greatly simplified compared to higher frequency regions. The resonators use is illustrated by recording the rotational spectra of bromobenzene and iodobenzene. In related experiments, using similar equipment, the pure rotational spectra of four isotopomers of SrS and all three naturally occurring isotopomers of the actinide-containing compound thorium monoxide have been recorded between 6 and 26 GHz. The data have been thoroughly analyzed to produce information pertaining to bond lengths and electronic structures.

Sensitization of Lanthanides and Organic-Based Phosphorescence via Energy Transfer and Heavy-Atom Effects
Date: May 2010
Creator: Arvapally, Ravi K.
Description: The major topics discussed are the phosphorescence sensitization in the lanthanides via energy transfer and in the organics by heavy atom effects. The f-f transitions in lanthanides are parity forbidden and have weak molar extinction coefficients. Upon complexation with the ligand, ttrpy (4'-p-Tolyl-[2,2':6',2"]-terpyridine) the absorption takes place through the ligand and the excitation is transferred to the lanthanides, which in turn emit. This process is known as "sensitized luminescence." Bright red emission from europium and bright green emission from terbium complexes were observed. There is ongoing work on the making of OLEDs with neutral complexes of lanthanide hexafluoroacetyl acetonate/ttrpy, studied in this dissertation. Attempts to observe analogous energy transfer from the inorganic donor complexes of Au(I) thiocyanates were unsuccessful due to poor overlap of the emissions of these systems with the absorptions of Eu(III) and Tb(III). Photophysics of silver-aromatic complexes deals with the enhancement of phosphorescence in the aromatics. The heavy atom effect of the silver is responsible for this enhancement in phosphorescence. Aromatics such as naphthalene, perylene, anthracene and pyrene were involved in this study. Stern Volmer plots were studied by performing the quenching studies. The quenchers employed were both heavy metals such as silver and thallium and lighter ...

Take a look at this cutie! When I first saw it, I wasn't that impressed, but I got to thinking about my yellow shoes and belt at home and thought it might work. Plus, it was $6.24, so I couldn't stop thinking about it. Had.To.Have. I like to think that cardigans are the (not-so) new blazer if worn the right way. I even wore this to a meeting where all of my colleagues (myself included) tend to pull out all the stops so they can try to impress everyone else. This usually means a suit.suit.suit. However, I wore this outfit and didn't feel dressed down at all, plus I got several compliments so that was fun for the attention whore in me.
Edited to add: Hey, looky here! One of my fav bloggers, Cheap Chica, just TODAY posted about cardigans and apparently she shares my love. (BTW-I voted for the 3rd look. Love.)

|Founder of Feministing
|Andrew Golis (m. 2009)[2]
Jessica Valenti (born November 1, 1978) is an American blogger and feminist writer, founder of the Feministing blog in 2004. She is the author or co-author of six books on women's issues: Full Frontal Feminism (2007),[a] Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape (2008) with Jaclyn Friedman,[b] He's a Stud, She's a Slut (2008),[c] The Purity Myth (2009),[d] Why Have Kids (2012),[e] and Sex Object: A Memoir (2016).[f]
Her work has appeared in Ms.,[3] The Nation,[i] The Washington Post,[ii][iii] TPMCafe,[iv] Alternet[v] and The Guardian.[vi] In 2011, The Guardian, where Valenti works as a daily columnist, named her as one of their "top 100 women" for her work to bring the feminist movement online.[4]
Valenti was raised in Long Island City, Queens in an Italian American family. Her father was a Buddhist. Valenti graduated from Stuyvesant High School.[α] She received her master's degree in Women's and Gender Studies from Rutgers University.[β] On October 3, 2009, she married Andrew Golis, the deputy publisher of Talking Points Memo.[2]
Writing and blogging[edit]
Valenti founded Feministing in 2004,[γ] while she was working at the National Organization for Women's legal defense fund (now Legal Momentum)[γ] Homa Khaleeli writes in The Guardian's top 100 women that the site shifted the feminist movement online, triggering the creation of blogs and discussion groups, creating a heyday for feminism just as its death was being announced, as Khaleeli puts it. She writes that Valenti "felt the full force of being a pioneer," her involvement with the site attracting online abuse, even threats of rape and death.[4]
University of Wisconsin–Madison law professor Ann Althouse criticized Feministing in 2006 for its sometimes sexualized content. Erin Matson of the National Organization for Women's Young Feminist Task Force told The Huffington Post the controversy was "a rehashing of a very old debate within the feminist community: is public sexuality empowering or harmful to women?"[5][6]
Valenti decided to leave the site in February 2011, saying she wanted it to remain a place for younger feminists.[7] Before this, she had been a contributing author to Courtney E. Martin and J. Courtney Sullivan's books Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists (2010),[g] Melody Berger's We Don't Need Another Wave (2008)[h] and Diane Mapes's Single State of the Union (2007).[i]
In 2008 she co-authored a Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape with Jaclyn Friedman, in 2012 she published Why Have Kids, and in 2016 she published Sex Object: A Memoir.
