Language Requirement
213 Ingraham Hall, 1155 Observatory Drive, Madison, WI 53706; 608-265-6295; firstname.lastname@example.com; uw-madison-ces.org
Faculty: Sapega (director) (Spanish and Portuguese), Brossard (Life Sciences Communication), Covington (European Studies), Howell (German), Livorni (French and Italian), Marx Ferree (ex officio EUCE, Sociology), Olds (Geography), Silberman (ex officio CGES, German), Wolf (Scandinavian Studies)
The European Studies Program, in cooperation with the European Union Center of Excellence (EUCE), the DAAD Center for German and European Studies (CGES), and the Center for Interdisciplinary French Studies (CIFS), promotes knowledge and understanding of Europe both on and off campus. Established in 1968, the program provides integrated interdisciplinary studies on contemporary Europe for both undergraduate and graduate students. The program brings together scholars on campus interested in different aspects of Europe to discuss topics of mutual interest. More than twenty departments offer courses on Europe (excluding language courses), providing the largest number of courses on any region of the world other than the United States.
Certificate Program
The program offers the undergraduate certificate in European studies. Potential recipients of the certificate demonstrate a commitment to the study of Europe by taking seven courses from at least two different departments that address Europe as a whole or cover at least three European countries. Potential recipients include international studies majors, students spending a semeser or year abroad studying at European universities whose courses may count toward the certificate, and students majoring in subjects such as history, political science, or European languages that offer a foundation of courses on Europe on which students can build to obtain the certificate.
The certificate is of value to students wishing to demonstrate their knowledge of the continent either to potential employers or graduate schools.
To earn the certificate, students must complete seven eligible "area studies" courses (21 credits) drawn from at least two disciplines and distributed in one of the following ways:
- All courses address Europe as a whole by focusing on topics such as the European Union, European history, or European literature.
- Courses focus on three or more single European countries or regions (e.g., Portugal, France, Germany, Central Europe, Scandinavia).
- Courses focus on at least two single European countries or regions, plus Europe as a whole.
Students must maintain a grade point average of at least BC (2.5) in all courses that they wish to count toward the certificate. They must also fulfill the requirements for an established undergraduate major at UW–Madison. Language courses do not count toward the seven course requirement for the certificate; courses on the literature or culture of European countries offered in language departments do count toward the certificate. For the list of courses that count automatically toward the certificate, see the Center for European Studies Certificate course list. Europe-related "topics" courses and/or graduate-level courses may also be counted with the permission of the director.
Language Requirement
Students must attain competency in a European language other than English equivalent to four semesters of college-level study. High school equivalency or credits earned at other universities and colleges (such as during a year abroad) count toward this requirement.
Below is a sampling of regularly offered courses in European studies. Most departments also regularly offer other courses with significant European content. All civilization, culture, and literature courses in any European language department also qualify for the certificate; language, grammar, and conversation classes can be used to fulfill the language requirement but do not count toward the seven "area studies" courses requirement.

Most of the planet's carbon is neither in the forests nor the atmosphere. It is in the soil under your feet. US scientists think that they have identified the mechanism that keeps most of this awesome treasury of carbon locked away in the soil – or surrenders much more of it back to the atmosphere. The answer is: a fungus.

Lawrence Technological University's Master of Science in Computer Science can prepare you to meet the challenges of this exciting and evolving industry. The program offers the flexibility to accommodate students from a variety of backgrounds – recent college graduates work with leading internationally recognized professors to gain advanced knowledge and skills in:
- Data Sciences
- Big Data
- Data Mining
- Intelligent Systems
- Robotics
Even those with undergraduate degrees in non-computer areas interested in entering the field can qualify for admission by examination or by taking 3 or 4 undergraduate computer science classes.
From aerospace to the pharmaceutical industry, computers affect almost every aspect of modern-day life. As technology continues to advance, so does the demand for our computer science graduates. A master's degree in computer science is often required for those seeking the best opportunities in computer science.
Today business and industry leaders rely on those with specialized skills to design and develop products, as well as apply the latest software engineering methodologies. Computer scientists specializing in Artificial Intelligence or the Data Sciences are projected to be among the most in demand.
CONCENTRATIONSThe MSCS program offers a track leading to a general Master's degree in Computer Science. Additionally the program offers two optional concentrations in high-impact computer science topics. Students interested in these concentrations will complete the same number of credit hours (30), but will take more courses related to their concentration, in addition to twelve credits of working directly with faculty on practical projects related to the discipline. The two concentrations are Intelligent Systems, and Data Science – Big Data & Data Mining. Students in these concentrations will receive close guidance from faculty who are nationally recognized experts in these fields.
Intelligent Systems
Intelligent systems exist in various forms, including video games, robotics, search engines, automatic personal agents, and even weaponry. With so many career options available, there is a job waiting for anyone willing to work for it. However, getting deep into artificial intelligence and becoming an intelligent systems expert requires a Masters or Ph.D. degree with specialization in machine learning or A.I. The concentration in intelligent systems will provide you with the knowledge necessary to pursue a fruitful and very profitable career.
Various career paths await for well-educated intelligent system specialists. For instance, salaries of artificial intelligent specialists working in the video game industry start at $75,000 annually, and reach $125,000 annually for lead programmers. A robotic scientist or programmer makes a median salary of $90,000 annually.
Data Science – Big Data & Data Mining
Data Science and Big Data are some of the fastest growing fields related to computer science. Driven by the increasingly powerful data collection technologies and the invaluable importance of effective analysis of these data to organizations, it is expected that the high demand for professionals in the field will grow substantially in the near future, making data scientist and one of the most demanded jobs in the future job market. For instance, McKinsey predicts a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 professionals in the data science and big data related jobs in the US, and Gartner predicts 4.4 million new jobs to support Big Data globally. On the other hand, the job market supply is far too short to satisfy the current and future demand. Gartner estimates that the pool of qualified professionals can only be sufficient to fill one third of the demand, and the gap between the supply and demand is growing.
Often considered "the sexiest job of the 21st century", data scientists are now in extremely high demand due to the low job market supply and the growing need in all levels of industry, academia, and government. Current median salary of data scientists is $117,500, and is expected to grow.
The primary challenges in the data science area are big data and data mining. The ability to effectively analyze large and complex databases can be of tremendous value to organizations by increasing sales, reducing costs, and identifying future trends. Specialists in these areas are required to have not just strong programming skills, but also knowledge in statistics, machine learning, databases, and high-performance computing.
The program is suitable for computer scientists and IT professionals with excellent programming skills who wish to expand their knowledge to that emerging field.
Why Computer Science at LTU?At LTU you will receive the guidance of a nationally recognized expert in your field of concentration, until you successfully complete your projects and degree.
The Master of Science in Computer Science at Lawrence Tech differs from traditional graduate programs in computer science. The combination of theoretical knowledge and its practical application to actual problems in science and industry provides the optimal preparation for becoming a leader in computer science and the software industry.
We recognize that excellence in computer science requires more than taking classroom courses or completing small-scale projects and assignments. Therefore, at LTU each student receives close guidance of faculty mentors throughout the degree to obtain not just the theory, but also the experience and practical knowledge required to turn a computer science student into a problem solver.
CurriculumLawrence Tech's MS in Computer Science requires 30 credit hours and can be tailored to fit your individual needs. You can finish the program in two years, or you can compete it in your own pace that fits your schedule and commitments.

My Dalmatian has had a heart murmor her whole life. It did not become an issue for her until April of this year, and from then on it progressed horribly.
The symptoms were all typical. Fluid backup in the lungs creating a difficult breathing environment, and her coughing like crazy. We put her on lasix and it helped at first.
Then the fluid build up moved to the abs. We have had her drained twice now in the last month to 5 weeks.
she is on 10mg of Enalapril once in the am and once in the pm.
Lasix is 30mg in the night and 20mg in the morning.
Vetmedin is 5mg in am, 5mg in the pm.
these last couple days I have increased her lasix to 80-100mg/day giving her a 20mg tablet every few hours to help her body get caught up. within a week of the abdomen draining she was swollen and coughing again. I was told that 100mg was the safe limit for a dog of her size. I try to give her as little as I can, but Increase it when there seems to be a need. She's breathing better, but still swollen.
we've kept tabs on her girth as well. She shrinks to around 25" after being drained, and swells to 27"+ inches. I have her back down to 26"-ish now with the extra lasix.
What are the options? I can't get her drained once a week. That's too expensive and hard on her. But she is eating well and still have a very happy personality with a lot of tail wagging. Her ears are attentive, and she still smiles from time to time the way Dals do.
I'm not ready to put her down, how can you when she still seems so happy? But at what point do I know its time with her? This is a difficult first time encounter for my wife and I.
I forgot to mention... she only turns 9 next month. Her young age is one of the things that makes this so difficult for me. I'm not used to such a young dog having such a horrible condition. It's a bummer that such a rare personality would get dealt a bum heart.

Softball Pushes Win Streak to Six Games
Kentucky picked up its first win of the day using a game of long ball. Senior Ashley Dimkich and freshman Meagan Aull both belted their first career round trippers to propel the Blue and White to the 10-4 victory over Marshall (8-7, 0-0).
?We were outstanding offensively today,? Head Coach Rachel Lawson said. ?We executed very well in every situation, and it is always exciting for a team to have a couple of firsts- today it was (Ashley) Dimkich and (Meagan) Aull?s day.?
Marshall took an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first. The Thundering Herd began with two consecutive walks to put runners on base. A double scored both runners, and the third run came in on a single.
Kentucky wasted little time in responding to the early deficit, as they answered with four runs of their own. Freshman Megan Yocke got on base thanks to four consecutive balls. Natalie Smith advanced the runner with a lay-down sacrifice bunt. Molly Johnson then plated the first run with a double that hit off the left field wall. Destinee Mordecai scored Johnson on a single, and then promptly stole second. That?s when Dimkich blasted her first career home run over the left field fence, scoring two runs and giving the Blue and White the 4-3 advantage.
Both teams were held scoreless in the second inning before Kentucky increased its lead to five runs after scoring four runs in the bottom of the third. Mordecai led off the inning with a base hit to right field. Dimkich advanced the runner and reached on a fielder?s choice. Audrey Meyer then got in on the action, scoring Mordecai from second on a base hit of her own. With runners on first and third, Aull stepped to the plate and put the ball over the wall in right-center field registering three RBI.
The Wildcats added a run in the bottom of the fifth pushing the score to 9-3. Dimkich got things started with a single that dropped in the gap in center field. McCarty reached on a throwing error by the third baseman moving Dimkich to second. Meyer then laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners into scoring position. Dimkich came around to score on a groundout to the second baseman by Aull giving UK a six-run lead.
Dimkich knocked in her third RBI of the game in the bottom of the sixth to give Kentucky its 10 runs. Johnson recorded her third hit of the game to open the inning. Samantha DeMartine advanced the runner on another sacrifice bunt, and then Mordecai?s single pushed the runner to third. Dimkich ripped a single down the left field line plating Johnson.
Marshall tacked on a run in the top of the seventh off a home run to left field making the final margin 10-4.
Pitcher Amber Matousek gave up three runs in the top of the first, but then threw five scoreless innings until giving up the home run in the seventh. The sophomore tossed five strikeouts on the day pushing her season total to 39 as she improved her record in the circle to 3-4 for the season.
?I?m really proud of Amber?s (Matousek) performance on the mound today,? Lawson said. ?She got in a bind early in the game, but it is always a true measure of a pitcher on how she responds to a bad situation and Amber threw a great game the rest of the way.
?Defensively Natalie Smith has improved her game so much this season. She really got us out of some tough situations today against a very good team.?
The Wildcats? victory over Eastern Illinois resulted in Lawson?s 100th career victory as a head coach.
?I am very honored to have received all of my career victories coaching a school from the state of Kentucky,? Lawson said. ?I look forward to many more as a Wildcat.?
In game two, Kentucky once again found themselves in an early hole. Eastern Illinois jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second. The Panthers started the inning with a single, and then the run scored on a double that skipped to the fence in left field.
UK knotted the score at one in the bottom of the third. With two outs already on the scoreboard, the Blue and White got pressure singles from the top of the order. Yocke singled and advanced to third on a Smith single. Johnson brought the run home with a beautiful single right up the gut of the infield.
The Wildcats tacked on another run in the bottom of the fourth as DeMartine led off with a stand-up double to deep center field. Dimkich?s sacrifice bunt advanced the runner to third, putting DeMartine in an easy position to score. Mordecai ripped a single into left field and DeMartine rounded her way home giving the Blue and White its first lead of the game, 2-1.
In the bottom of the fifth, Yocke doubled after finding a gap in right-center. Smith got on base with a fielding error by the second baseman, while Yocke advanced to third. Yocke scored on a fielder?s choice, as Smith was called out at second and Johnson reached first. During DeMartine?s at-bat, Johnson swiped second putting her in scoring position from second base. DeMartine?s single into center field brought Johnson around to score giving UK the 4-1 lead through five innings.
?Destinee (Mordecai) and (Molly) Johnson were clutch for us today in game two,? Lawson said.
Pitcher Jennifer Young threw five scoreless innings after giving up the one run in the top of the second. In the sixth inning, the Panthers put two runners on base but Young got herself out of the jam with two fly outs and a groundout securing the 4-1 UK advantage.
Kentucky added another run in the bottom of the sixth as Mordecai led off with her fifth single of the day. Katie McCarty laid down a sacrifice bunt putting the runner on second. Aull?s single to center field plated Mordecai from second giving the Blue and White the final margin, 5-1.
Kentucky improves to 8-7, 0-0, while Eastern Illinois falls to 1-4, 0-0 on the year. Young gets credit with her second win of the season after tossing six innings and throwing two strikeouts.
?Jennifer Young did a great job in the circle,? said Lawson. ?She really kept us in the game until our offensive found its rhythm. Once we got rolling we were able to put some runs up on the board.?
Matousek came into the game in the top of the seventh to close out the victory for the Wildcats. The sophomore tossed one scoreless inning and sat three batters down on strikes. With 42 strikeouts already this season, Matousek is just one shy of tying her season career-high set as a freshman.
UK returns to action tomorrow with just one game at Jim Frost Stadium. Kentucky will face off with border-state rival Indiana at noon. Complete coverage of this weekend?s action can be found at www.ukathletics.com.

To negate (Japanese:
Destroying a card is not the same as negating its activation or effect. For example, when a player activates "Dark Hole" and the other player Chains "Mystical Space Typhoon" targeting "Dark Hole", it will destroy "Dark Hole", but "Dark Hole" will still resolve, so the monsters are still destroyed.
Such examples of negation are:
To negate the activation of a card or effect is to cause it to not resolve during that Chain.
If the activation of a Spell or Trap Card is negated, that card is sent to the Graveyard after the entire Chain it was activated in resolves if it has not already been moved somewhere, but it is not treated as being sent from the field.
If the activation of effect that can only be "used" a limited number of times is negated, that activation still counts towards the activation limit. For example, if "Chaos Sorcerer's" effect is negated by "Light and Darkness Dragon", it cannot activate its effect again that turn.
If the activation of an effect is that can only be "activated" a limited number of times is negated, it is treated as not being activated, and thus can be activated again.
To negate an effect is to prevent it from being applied.
Effects that start a Chain resolve for no effect when activated if negated, but can still be activated. For example, even if the effect of "Cannon Soldier" is negated by "Effect Veiler", it can still be activated by Tributing a monster, but the opponent will not take any damage. Unlike negating the activation, a card whose effect has been negated will still resolve (but with no effect); as such, because "Starlight Road" only negates card effects and not activations, any card or effect that would respond to the Summon of "Stardust Dragon" misses the timing, as the card or effect that "Starlight Road" negated resolves after it for no effect.
Continuous Effects are simply not applied.
To negate a Summon is to prevent a monster from being successfully Summoned. A Summon can only be negated during the Summon negation window. Since most summons using card effects have a summon negation window buried in the resolution of that card, they can only be negated by continuous effects, which no card currently can do. A monster summoned "immediately after this effect resolves", as long as the effect is the last in the chain, occure outside of the resolution of an effect, and can thus be negated. A negated Normal Summon still counts as the one Normal Summon/Set per
Generally only (Normal Summons, Flip Summons, Synchro Summons, Xyz Summons, Pendulum Summons and Special Summons with a Special Summoning condition), and only when they occur outside of a Chain. For example, the Normal Summon of a monster with "Ultimate Offering" cannot be negated if it was Chained to something (as the monster is Summoned in the middle of a Chain), but it can be negated if "Ultimate Offering" is activated as Chain Link 1 (as the monster is Summoned immediately after the effect of "Ultimate Offering" resolves).
If the Summon of a monster(s) is negated, that monster(s) are not considered to have been on the field at the time its Summon was negated (even if it is being Flip Summoned or is a Gemini monster being Normal Summoned again). For example, if a monster's Summon is negated by "Forced Back" while "Degenerate Circuit" is active, that monster is returned to its owner's hand and not banished, because it was not on the field. If a Summon is negated, the monster was not successfully Summoned, so Special Summon-only monsters cannot be Special Summoned by effects other than their specified method.
To negate an attack is to stop a battle from taking place with a card effect after an attack target has been selected or after an attack has been declared. An attack can only be negated during the Battle Step, and if it is, the Damage Step does not occur. Cards which can do this include "Negate Attack", "Hero Barrier", and "Maiden with Eyes of Blue". It is worth noting that many Trap Cards which negate an attack target the monster that declared the attack.
Cards such as "Mirror Force" and "Dimensional Prison" do not negate attacks; instead, the attacking monster leaves the field during the Battle Step and the attack ends; if the monster does not leave the field, the attack continues. For example, if "Total Defense Shogun" attacks while in Defense Position and the opponent activates "Mirror Force", the attack continues as "Total Defense Shogun" is still on the field.

A lip balm that does its job well shouldn't need to be reapplied every five minutes. C.O. Bigelow's chemists had that in mind when they crafted this hydrating formula, which doesn't just moisturize lips, but also provides long-lasting protection. Fragrance-free and with no artificial colorants, it's the most straightforward high-performing lip treatment out there.
After reading all the reviews, I thought this would be an awesome product. After using for the first time, it felt like I had just put vaseline on my lips. It reminded me of childhood. For a product named "My Favorite" it unfortunately didn't measure up - Blistex Complete Moisture is a better option at this point. :/2

Yahoo and HortonWorks are hosting the fifth annual Hadoop Summit this week, and the floodgates are already open. A day before the conference kicks off the firm already took the opportunity to announce two major developments, including the launch of its first actual product.
In spite of the hype since its foundation last year, so far the startup has only been skirting around the Hadoop ecosystem with partnerships and service offerings. That is until today's debut of the Hortonworks Data Platform. HDP is a full featured distribution of Hadoop that's built for resellers rather than end users, and packs quite a few differentiating factors that set it apart from what companies like Cloudera and MapR are offering.
The platform is based on the first version of Hadoop, which is somewhat more stable than the second version. One of the other main features is that HDP offers visual dataset integration using the latest version of Talend's Open Studio, which was updated just this week with the addition of support for Oozie and HCatalog. The Data Platform leverages the latter service to connect with traditional database environments, alongside the Apache Ambari config tool.
HortonWorks is also working on something called SQL-H to integrate its technology with the Teradata Aster Database.
HDP 1.0 is the core distribution, although it's not the only one that was introduced today. The HA special is the result of a team-up with VMware and offers much deeper support for the cloud, with the capability to easily recover from server failure.
Derrick Harris commented on the announcement:
"Where the real intrigue comes is that the Hortonworks Data Platform HA edition will be available through VMware. This represents the furtherance of a unique partner strategy in which Hortonworks works closely with technology partners such as VMware, Microsoft and Teradata to develop products that leverage Hadoop while being more than mere integrations. "

- Practical advice to help you regularly save money and invest
- Find companies you can trust and the best financial products
- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
Past relationships are increasingly helping families to manage their money, but there is a worrying number of families failing to protect their lifestyles, according to a new report.
The Aviva Family Finances Report 2013, which tracks the financial circumstances of different UK family types, reveals nearly half of adults who live as a modern family (49%) have experienced at least one previous committed relationship prior to their current set-up.
More than one in three marriages (34%) in the UK is a remarriage for at least one partner; while almost a third of two-parent UK families (30%) include one or more children from a previous relationship.
One in three families with children from past relationships receive financial support from an ex-partner. This includes 23% who get a regular income and 10% who receive occasional payments. Regular monthly payments range from less than £50 a child to more than £1,500, averaging out at £254 a child, per month.
A third of those who receive financial support rely on it to make ends meet, while 38% would need to make major cutbacks to manage without this income.
Louise Colley of Aviva said: "It is encouraging to see that experience helps many families to fine-tune their approach to money matters and take a more harmonious approach. However, like many things in life, relationship circumstances can change, which makes it vital for families to keep track of their finances and ensure any existing commitments are kept up to date."
Only one in four (24%) know for sure that their former partner has financial protection, such as life insurance, income protection or critical illness cover, in place. Almost one in five (18%) know their ex-partner has no financial protection, while another 30% fear this may be the case.
Any change in family circumstances has a significant impact on financial arrangements, with one in five (19%) failing to bring their financial affairs up to date so wills are often neglected.
On a positive note, Aviva reveals that those in a new family set-up end up in a more comfortable financially and are less prone to argue about money.
Aviva's report also reveals UK families are divided by a growing income gap, despite their typical incomes reaching a three-year high.
UK families earned a monthly income of £2,166 in December 2013 – the highest figure since Aviva's report began in 2011. Couples with one child have gained the most over the past three years, with their monthly incomes growing by 18% (£357) to £2,321 in December 2013. These gains are in stark contrast to divorced, separated and widowed parents who have seen their monthly incomes fall by 14% over the same period to £1,189.
While the overall picture has improved, the gap between the highest and lowest earning families has grown by 14% in the past three years to £1,459 in December 2013.
A record number of UK families now have some form of savings to fall back on, with just one in five (20%) having no savings at all. However, the margins for comfort are getting smaller, with 30% of UK families putting less than £500 away in December 2013. Between January and December 2013, the number of people with less than £2,000 put away has jumped from 28% to 40%.
Savings accounts have fallen out of favour over the past year and families are looking beyond Isas for better returns. The uptake of Isas has dropped from 41% in July to 39% in December 2013. More families invested in premium bonds in December 2013 (21% compared with 17% in January 2013) as well as stocks and shares (17%, compared with 13% in January).
Colley of Aviva added: "Taking steps to save for the future and protect the family income can make all the difference if costs increase or unexpected bills land. It is great news that more people have some form of savings they can turn to, but many people's savings pots are little more than a one-off emergency fund. On the whole, family savings are not built to withstand long-term pressure on living costs."
In the UK, stocks are fixed-interest securities such as corporate bonds and government gilts. In the US, stock is the most widely used term for shares; a diminutive of the term "common stock".
A form of National Savings Certificate, premium bonds are effectively gilt-edged securities: you loan your money to the government and, in return, it pays you for the privilege with a guarantee it will return your capital at a specified date. Where premium bonds differ is that the interest payments (currently 1.5%) are pooled and paid out as prize money and you can get your cash back within a fortnight, with no risk. Launched by Chancellor of the Exchequer Harold Macmillan in his 1956 Budget, every single £1 unit has the same chance of winning and in May 2011, 1,772,482 winners (from a total draw of 42,539,589,993 eligible bond numbers) shared £53,174,500. The odds of winning are 24,000 to 1 and the maximum holding is £30,000 per person but it remains the only punt in which you can perpetually recycle your stake money.
Generally thought of as being interchangeable with life assurance, but isn't. Life insurance insures you for a specific period of time, at a premium fixed by your age, health and the amount the life is insured for. If you die while the policy is in force, the insurance company pays the claim. However, if you survive to the end of the term or cease paying the premiums, the policy is finished and has no remaining value whatsoever as it only has any value if you have a claim. For this reason, life insurance is much cheaper than life assurance (also called whole of life).

The global automotive industry is abuzz with the tightened supply of polyamide 12 (also called nylon 12) which are used in cable ties, wire insulation, flexible hosing, nozzles, damping cogwheels, flexible cover caps, sheet gaskets, sealing rings, and in other fuel line applications/auto-related parts.
PA-12 is also used in plastic parts to make solar panels and cable coverings used in offshore oil and gas production.
Based on several googled websites, PA-12 reportedly have excellent properties such as high degree of dimensional stability under humidity or freezing environment; high resistance to chemicals such as hydraulic fluids, oil, fuels, grease, salt water, solvents; strong resistance to cracking under stress; high-resistance to abrasion; and has high fatigue resistance.
PA-12 also dampens noise and vibration, according to various sources. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with cars but from what I've seen on several news about this PA-12, this is an important chemical for the automobile industry as car makers and several players along the automotive supply chain held an emergency meeting yesterday in Detroit, Michigan, to discuss the critical issue on PA-12 shortage.
According to this article from Plastics News, there are very few suppliers worldwide of PA-12, namely Evonik, Arkema, Ube Industries and EMS-Grivory. Global PA-12 production was estimated at around 100m lbs/year. Evonik is the only producer here vertically integrated in a key PA-12 feedstock called cyclododecatriene (CDT), which is manufactured by cyclotrimerization of butadiene.
CDT is used to make laurolactam, which in turn is used as a monomer in PA-12.
Unfortunately, a fire broke out at the end of March at Evonik's CDT facility in Marl, Germany, (two employees were killed) and CDT production (capacity is not disclosed) is expected to remain out-of-order for at least three months. This in turn, will affect PA-12 production for those who are dependent on CDT material.
Now here comes the castor part (sorry it took a while to get to this point…).
According to Evonik, the company is able to provide alternative substitutes to its CDT-based PA-12 products in the form of its VESTAMID Terra DD, which contains 45% renewable-based materials made from castor oil derivatives (mostly sebacic acid). The product is based on the polycondensation product of 1,10-decamethylene diamine and 1,12-dodecanedioic acid (this is where sebacic acid comes from).
VESTAMID Terra also comes as polyamide 6,10 which has a 63% biocontent — the polycondensation of 1,6 hexamamethylene diamine and 1,10 decanedoic diacid (another sebacic acid material); and polyamide 10,10 – a 100% bio-based polymer from the polycondensation of 1,10 decamethylene diamine and 1,10 decanedoic diacid.
Evonik said it is possible to modify the biobased polymers to achieve much of the same material attributes as PA-12. In fact, the company announced yesterday that it has begun measures to increase production capacities of its VESTAMID Terra polymers at its Shanghai, China, plant.
An additional compounding facility for VESTAMID Terra will become operational in the third quarter of this year, and new capacity for the polymerization of the bio-based nylon are in the works and is scheduled to operate in the second half of 2013.
As the blog noted in previous posts about castor-based polyamides, Arkema has also been expanding its castor-based polyamides (under the RILSAN brand) — when it acquired Hipro Polymers and Casda Biomaterials last year.
Other castor-based polyamides producers include Rhodia (Technyl eXten: PA-6,10) , BASF (Ultramid Balance: PA-6,10), DSM (EcoPaXX: PA-4,10) and DuPont (Zytel PA-10 and PA-6,10). One thing to note is that Elevance is also targeting to produce natural oil-based derivatives such as diacids for PA-11 and PA-12 and is currently collaborating with companies like Arkema and DSM.
An interesting information about this PA-12 shortage is that other types of polyamides such as PA-6,12 and PA-6,10 could be an alternative to PA-12, according to producers who were interviewed* by ICIS colleagues at the recent plastic tradeshow NPE.
According to US plastic compounder A Schulman, PA-6,12 is a superior alternative to PA-12 for automotive applications given the same chemical resistance factors but PA-6,12 is said to have higher melting point. According to A Schulman, PA-12 supply has been increasingly tight even before the Evonik fire incident as demand from the oil and gas production has taken consumption share from the automotive supply chain.
More plastics are also being used in the automotive manufacture and therefore nylon-based materials are increasingly being used.
DuPont said* it is also working with auto makers to find alternatives for PA-12 in certain applications.
Rhodia, which produces PA-6,10 is reportedly* also working with customers to seek replacement for PA-12, while BASF — a small CDT supplier as well, is offering its support to PA-12 producers.
Meanwhile, Evonik has also been in the middle of a planned PA-12 expansion, which was announced in December last year. Evonik said a 5,000 tonnes/year PA-12 expansion will supposedly start this year, and another 20,000 tonnes/year PA-12 expansion in its Asian facility is scheduled to be completed within 3 years.

Men's Hoops Falls to Washington
Feb. 26, 1998
SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) - Deon Luton scored 22 points, including four 3-pointers, and 7-footer Todd MacCulloch had 13 points and 10 rebounds as the Washington Huskies kept alive their flickering NCAA Tournament hopes with a 91-66 victory over Southern California on Thursday night.
Donald Watts and Thalo Green, who made his first start, each added 11 points for the Huskies (16-9, 9-7 Pac-10). Patrick Femerling, Washington's other 7-footer, had eight points and 10 rebounds for Washington.
For the Trojans (7-18, 3-12), Gary Johnson scored 17 points and Gary Williams tallied 14. USC lost its sixth straight game.
Washington, which is seeking its first NCAA Tournament berth in 12 years, beat the Trojans for the second time this season. The Huskies must defeat No. 18 UCLA and Washington State in their final two regular-season games to have a realistic chance of getting into the tournament and it might not happen even then. Washington plays UCLA here Sunday.
The Huskies led 45-29 at halftime - their biggest first-half lead of the season - after Chris Walcott's layup on an offensive rebound with 1.2 seconds left.
Washington started fast, jumping out to a 16-5 lead in the first 4:07 with Luton contributing a 3-point shot and a two-handed dunk on a fastbreak.
A 3-pointer by Luton and a 12-footer by Donald Watts put the Huskies in front 30-18 with 6:50 left in the opening half.
In the second half, Washington outscored the Trojans 11-2 in the first 5:15 to go ahead 56-31 and break open the game.
Johnson scored consecutive 3-pointers in 17 seconds to cut Washington's lead to 70-54 with 5:59 to play, but Femerling had a dunk, Green sank a 3-pointer, Luton hit a 3-pointer and MacCulloch added a layup.
Washington beat USC for the sixth time in seven games and swept the season series for the second time in three years. The Huskies reached 16 victories for the third season in a row.

LONG BEACH -- Trade and city leaders on Tuesday kicked off a $83.7 million rail project that is expected to create 340 jobs, have an estimated economic impact of $400 million and move cargo in a more sustainable way.
Officials such as U.S. Rep. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, U.S. Maritime Administrator David Matsuda, Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster and California Transportation Commissioner Fran Inman were on hand to ceremoniously break ground on the federally-funded Green Port Gateway Rail Project.
Officials said the project will be a sustainable one, curbing truck trips on local roads by 2.3 million each year. A single full train eliminates between 280 and 750 truck trips, is 75 percent more fuel efficient than trucks and cuts air pollution as much as 65 percent, officials say.
Lowenthal said the project demonstrates that a business model that takes into account the environmental impacts on a community and is sustainable is good for business.
"Not only can we have investment in real estate and growth, but that does not have to be at odds with environmental protection," he said.
Expected to be completed in July 2014, the project adds six miles of new rail track, improves drainage systems, realigns tracks near Ocean Boulevard and creates a new Pier F Rail Support Yard that will support the future Middle Harbor terminal. The $1.2 billion Middle Harbor project merges two aging terminals into one mega-terminal that is expected to handle more than two million additional containers. The port recently inked a long-term agreement with Orient Overseas Container Line and its U.S. affiliate, Long Beach Container Terminal, to lease most of the 342-acre space. The project is slated for completion in 2019.
The green port rail project is among the nearly $1 billion dedicated to improving rail infrastructure. About 40 percent of U.S. container imports come through the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, with more than two-thirds of those imports moving by train across the nation.
"A rail network within the port is an absolutely vital connection, but it needs to be upgraded to handle our projected trade volumes," said Port of Long Beach Executive Director J. Christopher Lytle. "These projects will help us maintain our competitive edge as we enter the era of big ships and more cargo. "

Okay, Gleeks, this one's for you … Mark Salling, who plays the mohawked Noah Puck Puckerman on the hit Fox TV series Glee, is featured in the new issue of Flaunt magazine … and he is lookin' good, y'all. While I cannot get on board with the silly mohawk (which he *must* wear for the role), I can deffo get on board with the rest of him … behold:
Mark Salling has it all. As Noah "Puck" Puckerman, on the biggest hit TV show of the year, Glee, Salling gets to play the mohawked bad boy star quarterback, as well as the sensitive music lover. The show is beloved – Salling now answers fan mail from tweens and mothers from all over the world – and his storyline keeps getting more complex, affording him the ability to show off his emotional range. We're psyched to see how it all plays out for Puck, and even more for Salling, whose timbre and stock both continue to rise.
Yes, please! But while this pic is hot, there's another that you're gonna wanna check out. Trust me …
Wet and nearly shirtless … hot! We are just WEEKS away from the return of Glee … I can barely stand it. But, in all honesty, if having to wait for the return of Glee means that we'll have to endure more promo photos like this in the meantime … well … I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer ;)

Are Your Children or Grandchildren, Kids/Goats?

Are Your Children or Grandchildren, Kids/Goats?
Thanks for sharing that. I hear that word kid used so much, I find myself sometimes saying it. But I remembered Brother Tom making an issue of that on one of the trips and I try to catch myself when I say "kid". Now, I really understand why we shouldn't use that for children.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. (1 John 2:18)

Thank you for this information. We really should try to speak like we love GOD and all HIS Creation, especially HIS Children.
Proverbs 8:6-9 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
Praise GOD for HIS WORD!!!

We really should try to speak like we love GOD and all HIS Creation, especially HIS Children.
In Strong's Hebrew and Greek Concordances: His Children <01121>
On your website on Internet we see the words Kid/Kids , if we looked at the language of the Bible we see Goats.
We read in Matthew 25:31-32: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep [His Children] from the goats <2056>: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues [the language of Gods word, the Bible].
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues*, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
* not the language of the world.
Let God be Magnified!
In Christian love,

There are 55 comments on the KUSA Denver story from Sep 3, 2007, titled 9NEWS - Top News Article - Mexican truckers expected to soon be.... In it, KUSA Denver reports that:Jerry Bosch is an independent trucker from Elizabeth, Colorado.

Having lived in Mexico City the past 6 months and watching the driving habits of the Mexican truckers, I can only imagine the chaos that is about to descend upon the motorists of the US. Lack of regard for Mexican traffic laws, will follow along and just wait for the first major accident with deaths of US citizens caused by a Mexican trucker....especially if he flees back across the border.
#2 Sep 3, 2007
We're screwed. Stay off the highways.
#3 Sep 3, 2007
Something tells me this is a bad idea
#4 Sep 3, 2007
Our safety is being traded for their profits. Don't believe for a second that this will keep prices down. Corps have no incetive to pass these savings on to you.
#5 Sep 3, 2007
Will these trucks be marked to we can harass them and run them off the roads??
#6 Sep 3, 2007
Brought to you by the neo-con christian right!
#7 Sep 3, 2007
9news stated "the Bush administration urged a federal appeals court to let Mexican cargo trucks cross the border freely.". Really.
It's blatently right there. There is the problem. Our president needs to be FIRED or WORSE !
:shaking head in disgust:.
I hope you republican's are happy with what you created. Don't admint your a republican to me in person, i'll have to punch you in your mouth and i'm ready for whatever consenquences i have to deal with.

You are some sicko. Christians had nothing to do with NAFTA - Clinton was the one who got it through and now Bush is going to finish it.
#10 Sep 3, 2007
This is a BAAAAAAAAD idea. I don't know why Bush seems to love Mexicans so much, but maybe he should move to Mexico. Mexican truckers do not have the same rules, regulations and safety standards that we have in the US. My dad used to work at a truck parts company and he said whatever didn't meet US regulations was sold to someone who took the parts to Mexico. That's so comforting to know. I think I'll be avoiding the highways.
#12 Sep 3, 2007
If American Truckers were smart they would STRIKE!
NAFTA is bad for America and very bad for Truckers. Truckers you do not need a Union to Strike. You all have the ability to shut down this country all of you need to TAKE A WEEK VACATION ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Let Congress and the President know where you stand and how much power you have.
#13 Sep 3, 2007
My wife and I are truckers. When this starts, it will make the wages go down even further and cause the real american truckers to run illegal to make the money to support themselves. Further more, the trucking industry has a bad enough reputation in this country, this will further the public opinion of us. We are nothing but the scum of the road. This is just another reason for the illegals to be here in this country. They will disappear from their trucks and continue taking over this country.
I am starting to agree with people like Gun Toter. Something has to be done about the mexicans taking over american jobs. If the wussy gov't won't take a stand, the citizens need to. This has to stop now before the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA becomes mexico!!!
#14 Sep 3, 2007
AMEN Common Sense!!!!!!
#16 Sep 3, 2007
What a novel new way to smuggle new Mexicans into America by the thousands... Just brilliant!
#17 Sep 3, 2007
A few months ago, I heard an interview with Jimmy Hoffa Jr. He said if this these Mexican trucks are allowed to cross into the USA, the American truckers, were going to set up blockades, along the main routes that the truckers will travel. Interesting thought? Talk about selling out this country! I see a revolution coming in this country, by the people for the people, what a laugh.

#19 Sep 3, 2007
Just the thought of what these people will be smuggling into our borders "legally" is terrifying. I would say "what were they thinking?" but it's pretty obvious...... it's all about money, and how much more Bush and his cronies can get their hands on. Are we going to have to come up with a new national anthem now too?
#20 Sep 3, 2007
Welcome to the ultimate sell-out of our country, folks.
United States
#21 Sep 3, 2007
We need to stop sniping at each other and band together against the onslaught of ignorance poring over our southern border and infecting our government. Clinton ( one of, if not the worst Presidents we ever had )started it, and Bush appears to be a turncoat. We need to stop the Mexicans, period!!
#22 Sep 3, 2007
I totally agree with Voice. We all need to band together and stop allof this BS!
#25 Sep 3, 2007
How do you strike without a UNION? Or at least one that stands behind the workers? And don't say Teamsters or Local 19.

Associated Press reporter Seanna Adcox has a new story up promoting so-called "welfare to work" gains under S.C. Department of Social Services (SCDSS) director Lillian Koller. Adcox's report – like most of her recent stories – is based exclusively on data provided by the agency (and features nary a word of opposition).
It also follows a recent editorial in The (Charleston, S.C.) Post and Courier that praised Koller's agency along similar lines.
In other words according to the mainstream media, SCDSS is a success story – one that's saving taxpayers' money.
Is that really what's happening though?
As we've noted in our previous coverage, any numbers released by Koller's agency should be viewed as suspect. Or flat out wrong. In fact we're shocked that any reporter would take this agency's word for anything in the wake of the scandal associated with its food stamp data.
According to Adcox's story, "12,300 people stopped receiving welfare payments between September 2011 and June through (SCDSS)' welfare-to-work program." Adcox goes on to quote Koller as saying that "being on public assistance can really debilitate the soul," and that her agency is helping people "get out of poverty" as opposed to living "more comfortably in it."
That's great rhetoric … but what's the reality?
The program Koller is citing is called the "family independence" program. And last time we checked (July 2012) it had 15,712 people in it. How does that number mesh with Koller's data? Good question … but our guess is that Koller's 12,300 figure includes people who have been counted more than once.
In fact a source at the agency referred to the 12,300 figure as another example of Koller "giving out false or padded stats."
"She's counting people who have been suspended from the program for a month or two, for not following some procedure, and then who reapply and are accepted in the program again," the source explains. "It's a totally manufactured number."
Then there's the larger question of what Koller's "welfare to work" program really does for taxpayers.
What the SCDSS director failed to mention is that the vast majority of these new "workers" are being paid a significant portion of their wages from the federal government. In fact businesses pay only half of the $9.00/ hour wage most of them receive – while the feds pay the rest. Not only that, the government is picking up the tab for day care and transportation for these new "workers."
In other words, these are still government dependents – and they're receiving a hell of a lot more than the $233 monthly welfare check they were previously getting (assuming we're talking about a single mother of two) for doing nothing.
We're all for getting people off of government assistance … in fact, we strenuously objected to the portion of Barack Obama's "stimulus" program that scrapped the Bill Clinton-era welfare reform laws and put states back on the "bounty system" (i.e. paying them to pad their welfare rolls).
But we cannot substitute one form of dependency with another and call it "reform." Nor can we substitute a larger government payout for a smaller one and call it "taxpayer savings."
SCDSS should be ashamed for touting these illusory "welfare to work" gains. More importantly, Adcox should be embarrassed that she took the agency at its word and trumpeted this nonsense without bothering to find out the truth.
It's painfully evident at this point that SCDSS is engaging in a pattern of deception with regard to its data. That's something the mainstream media should be exposing – not swallowing.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Bank of America7198 Stockton Blvd. , Sacramento, California Sacramento, Select State/Province USA
Bank of America Charged 10 percent of my unemployment (BOA) card to transfer the money to my bank Sacramento California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This refers to the Bank of America in general, not this particular branch.
The Bank of American contracts with the California State to handle the unemployment debit card. Even though the Bank of America has a dedicated EDD customer BOA service, every branch I went in claimed that the BOA could not provide any information to me regarding my BOA card. However, my Chase bank representative, upon my providing my personal inforamtion, enabled to obtain that information by calling the BOA customer service.
The BOA customer service reps (the 5 I have spoken to) appear to have a specific language about the EDD contract, insisting that the BOA lends only "a plastic card" to the State of California but has noothing to do with the card, and that I should refer all inquiries to State's EDD office. My previious BOA inquiries resulted in being told that I should just have the money transfered to my bank directly - which I did.
In other words the BOA wants to get commission from the State but not do the work.
Because the poor customer service of the BOA I just had my EDDf trasnferred directed to my Chase account. However, the first direct transaction made (July 11, 2013) , the money was reduced by 10 percent, as shown by the email I received from the BOA and confirmed subsequenly. I called the BOA customer service from EDD and I was told that the reduced transaction reflects the amount received from the EDD. This is contrary to the CURRENT paper work received from the EDD.
On July 12, 2013, I went into the above mentioned Sacramento branch and requested an explanation as to why my biweekly EDD was reduced by 10 percent (from 320 to 288) . Two employees told me in so many words that the BOA cannot know my balance. I took a tape recorder out and requested them to tell me on record that the BOA cannot confirm/have access to my balance.
Upon the digital recorder action, finally a third BOA customer service bothered to call the BOA EDD office and, upon my providing the last 4 digits of my SS, accessed my EDD transactions.
I heard this (third) BOA customer service representative asking the EDD BOA desk "how much money was 'fired' and subsequenty asking an explanation for the difference."
After the call, he claimed that the EDD provided the 10 percent reduced amount. When I confronted him after the call with the 'difference' statement he denied it and said there was no difference and that the EDD provided the BOA a reduced amount.
I wonder how many EDD recipients are having their income reduced this way and who is responsible.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Archived article from Nov 9, 2001
By Mark Maben
The 13 first-year students in Scott Hall Room 219 are wrestling with a moral dilemma: Armed with a decoded message foretelling where Germany will bomb next, should Churchill evacuate the city of Coventry and risk tipping off the enemy that the British have cracked their code, or let the city be attacked?
The real-life scenario quickly has the students engaged in a heated discussion led by Rutgers College senior Shana Kushner. The small classroom setting, Kushner points out, is perfect for an afternoon lesson on critical thinking and decision making.
Small and intimate. These are not the first two words that usually come to mind when thinking about first-semester freshman courses. But for the 259 students in Rutgers College's First-Year Interest Group (FIG) program, that is exactly what they get.
Now entering its second year, FIG is designed to give Rutgers College students some of the benefits found at a small school, along with the experience that comes only from a large research university.
The concept is simple. FIGs bring together first-year students who share an interest for a one-credit, 10-week course. All courses are taught by high-achieving juniors or seniors. Students in FIGs explore a topic, meet faculty, staff and alumni working in that field, and discover what resources exist to nurture their interests. Equally important, a portion of each class is spent learning the ins and outs of the university. In addition, the students quickly gain a set of familiar, friendly faces, providing a ready-made peer group.
Instructors must attend two rigorous summer training sessions and then enroll in a three-credit course taught by Heath Boice-Pardee, assistant dean for new student programs. This fall, 18 FIGs are offered, up from five during last year's pilot phase. Topics range from premed and prelaw to education and global society. No class is larger than 22 students.
"FIGs enhance the undergraduate experience," said Marie Logue, associate dean for student development and college affairs. "The program helps develop a culture where freshmen are comfortable in the college environment, so they can be active learners." Just the act of asking these students how they are doing both academically and socially lets them blossom more quickly, Logue noted.
Student Bhumika Sompura agreed. "The FIG is so small you can talk with everyone, really debate," she said. "It has made it easier to talk with people in my other classes and to raise my hand. When I got here I was nervous, but now I have much less anxiety."
Logue hopes to keep expanding the program gradually so that about a third of all Rutgers College students participate in FIGs.

Flu Prevention Campaign Launched
Flu Prevention Campaign Launched
In a citywide effort to raise awareness of the benefits of flu shots, the American Lung Association of the City of New York has launched the second annual five boro flu shot program. The program, which runs from November 12 to December 12 is a coordinated effort between the American Lung Association of the City of New York and more than 40 healthcare organizations throughout the five boroughs of New York City to encourage residents to get the flu shot.
The five boro flu shot program provides information on healthcare facilities and hospitals that are providing flu shots as part of the program. Each participating facility is well-stocked with vaccine and has prepared a schedule of dates, times and locations at which flu shots will be available to the public. A detailed list of participating organizations is available through the American Lung Association of the City of New York by calling the organization's Flu Hotline at 718-263-5656 or contacting the Association at 1-800-LUNG-USA. A complete list of facilities participating in the five boro flu shot program and information about influence is also available online at www.alany.org.
Seniors covered by Medicare and other adults and children with private insurance will be immunized at facilities participating in the five boro flu shot program upon presentation of their insurance cards. Residents who do not have health insurance will receive the vaccine at these facilities at no out-of-pocket cost.
Each year, an estimated 2.6 million New Yorkers get influenza, or "the flu," a serious virus that can cause illness and even death in certain high-risk populations, such as adults and children with heart, kidney and lung conditions, including asthma. Each year, the flu causes 192 million days spent in bed, 70 million lost working days and 346 million days of restricted activity.
Influenza vaccination with the flu shot is proven to be the best tool against getting the illness. A yearly influenza vaccination is up to 92 percent effective in preventing influenza and reducing the severity of the influenza.
"For the more than half a million New York City residents who are living with asthma, flu prevention is particularly important," said Cindy Erickson, Chief Executive Officer of the American Lung Association of the City of New York. "Viral infections, like influenza, can cause serious respiratory complications for people with asthma, including severe asthma episodes and a decline in lung function."
A new American Lung Association study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in November 2001 showed for the first time that the influenza vaccine is safe for all people with asthma, no matter how severe the disease. The research, which was conducted by the ALA Asthma Clinical Research Centers Network, the largest nationwide research endeavor specifically designed to study asthma, refuted previous concerns about possible dangerous side effects of the flu shot in people with asthma. Viral infections are believed to be the cause of 80-85 percent of asthma episodes in children.
The flu shot can be given at any time during the flu season, but it is necessary to get a flu shot every year because the virus is constantly changing and new vaccines are developed annually. Everyone who wants to reduce his or her chance of getting the flu should be vaccinated. However, people who are allergic to eggs should not get the vaccination; the viral material in flu vaccines is grown in eggs. Those who have an acute illness and flever should wait until fully recovered before receiving the vaccine.
The American Lung Association has also released new guidelines for the prevention and treatment of influenza and the common cold. Developed by medical experts at the American Lung Association, the updated guidelines contain important information about how influenza and cold are transmitted, how to prevent the two types of illnesses, and what treatment options are available. Consumers can request a free booklet on the guidelines, available in English or Spanish, by calling 1-888-254-4054 or visiting www.lungusa.org.
