Research Interests
My research interest focuses on developing nanoelectrochemistry technologies, and discovering novel nanomaterials, and their implications for clean energy and biomedicine applications. We are also interested in ionic liquids chemistry and their applicaitons for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. We are exploring these new electrode and electrolyte materials for electrocatalysis and applications in water splitting for generation of hydrogen fuel, oxygen reduction for fuel cells and lithium-air batteries, and gas sensors.
Fundamental to these research programs is the investigation of kinetics of electron transfer processes occurring at microscopic electrolyte/material interfaces. Our approaches involve a number of electrochemical, microscopic and spectroscopic methods. We specialise in scanning micro- and nano-probe electrochemistry techniques such as scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and AFM which provide the basis for such local characterisation. The scope of our research includes evolution of photoelectrons at illuminated semiconductor/electrolyte interfaces, neural prosthesis for bionic ears and eyes, and imaging activity of biomolecuels coupled to artificial systems.

"We design and engineer tailor-made green concepts that align with architectural language. Our green concepts are interpretations and activations of space." (MARK Another Architecture #13).
A connection between architect and gardener - that's how we started in 1998.
Today in 2017 we are adding values to your projects, to the buildings and to the people: Human-Centric-Green-Climate-Engineering. Developed by a passion-driven team with long-term experience and professional know-how.
We are coaching architects and landscapers on indoorlandscaping - often based on a one-day-workshop directly in their offices.
"Great workshop for our latest project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia! We got a totally new perception on indoorlandscaping. On the complexity, but also on the performance, whenever functional green concepts will be incorporated into our buildings. Bernhard, the team's senior engineer shared his really valuable experience and know-how with us."
Albert Speer & Partner, Frankfurt - 03/2016
"Andreas gave an inspiring talk in our offices and glimpsed into 5 different projects answering all our technical questions - and furthermore, he spontaneously came up with new fresh ideas."
Ken Yeang, London
"We invited Andreas to give a talk for our staff during our lunch break in our Aarhus-based office. It turns out to be the best organic dessert we ever had."
Schmidt Hammer Lassen, Aarhus
"We booked indoorlandscaping for an office stop to get a broader view on indoor plants. In a casual way, the 2 colleagues did share their long term experiences - the amazing international projects they have been involved make them the leader in the so to say green industry."
BIG Bjarke Ingels, Copenhagen
"Andreas and his indoorlandscaping team did a great job here in Chicago: Consultancy on our 1 Bank of America project, workshops for several competitions, and spontaneous hands-free talking in our offices. indoorlandscaping is still cranking out beautiful green work!"
Perkins + Will, Chicago
"We had the pleasure having Andreas giving a great talk here in London - pretty smart and entertaining FAQ debriefing afterward."
Norman Foster + Partners, London
"Major cool - in green."

st: Simulating multilevel data in Stata
Tue, 23 Dec 2008 10:55:10 -0600
Dear Statalist members,
I want to perform a simulation to show the inconsistency of the OLS
and random effects estimators when one of the regressors is correlated
with the unit-specific error component. The specifics of the
simulation are as follows;
Y[i,t] (the outcome to be modeled) = b0 + b1*X1[i,t] + b2*X2[i,t] +
u[i] + e[i,t]
i = 1,...,500 indexes subjects
t = 1,...,3 indexes time (repeated observations on subjects)
X1 and X2 are normally distributed random variables with arbitrary
means and variances
u is a normally distributed subject-specific error component with mean
of 0 and arbitrary variance
e is a normally distributed random error component with mean of 0 and
arbitrary variance
corr(X1,X2) = 0.5
corr(X1,u) = 0.3
corr(X2,u) = 0.0
corr(X1,e) = corr(X2,e) = corr(u,e) = 0.0
b0, b1, and b2 are parameters to be specified in the simulation
I have been unable to identify a method that will ensure that
corr(X1,u) equals the desired value. I tried the following method in
which u was generated separately from X1 and X2 and cholesky
decomposition was applied to generate transformations of the three
random variables that would exhibit the desired correlations.
However, this yielded a non-zero correlation between X2 and u.
Method 1
drop _all
set obs 500
gen n = _n
gen u=invnorm(uniform())
expand 3
sort n
gen n2 = _n
gen t= (n2 - (n-1)*3)
drawnorm x1 x2 e
sort n
mkmat x1 x2 u e, matrix(X)
mat c =(1, .5, .3, 0 \ .5, 1, 0, 0 \ .3, 0, 1, 0 \ 0, 0, 0, 1)
mat X2 = X*cholesky(c)
A method that yielded somewhat better results involved generating X1,
X2, u, and e with a pre-specified correlation matrix and then
collapsing u so that it varied by subject only. This provided the
correct values for corr(X1,X2) and corr(X2,u) but attenuated the
correlation between X1 and u. I presume that I could simply specify a
higher value for corr(X1,u) when generating the variables so that the
desired value would be achieved after u is collapsed. However, this
would not be the most elegant solution.
Method 2
drop _all
set obs 500
mat c =(1, .5, .3, 0 \ .5, 1, 0, 0 \ .3, 0, 1, 0 \ 0, 0, 0, 1)
gen n = _n
expand 3
sort n
gen n2 = _n
gen t= (n2 - (n-1)*3)
drawnorm x1 x2 u e, corr(c)
sort n
by n: egen u2 = mean(u)
Any suggestions or references would be appreciated.

My new kitten is sneezing all of a sudden - a LOT! Should I be concerned??
I adopted my kitten, Chester, from the Humane Society a little over a week ago. Yesterday he started sneezing every once in a while, but last night and today, he's been sneezing almost non-stop! One of his eyes looked a little watery as well. Should I be concerned, or is this just a cold? Is there anything I can do to ensure a speedy recovery?

I would probably Bring little chester in to see a vet...I sneeze once in a while but there might be something wrong...my mommy got asked if i sneezed alot by the vets when she took my sister and myself.
Best of luck
Bella answered on 11/25/07. Helpful? / 0
I totally agree with Ms. Bella. Sounds like Baby Chester has a upper respiratory infection (URI) and this, unfortunately, can be deadly to a kitten. If his eyes look runny, then for sure he needs some Clavamox (anti-biotic) and he'll be good as new. Baby kitties don't get "just colds" and URIs are very serious to them, like fleas, which can cause worms which can literally suck the life out of a young kitten. To ensure a speedy recovery, get Baby Chet to the vets asap!
Izadore (Izzie) answered on 11/26/07. Helpful? / 0
It sounds like an upper respiratory infection. I agree with the others. Bring Chester to the Vet ASAP. It is common for cats adopted at shelters to pick up "kitty Colds". There are lots of cats in a relatively small area and germs can pass around. With the proper antibiotics, your kitten should be just fine.
Ben answered on 11/26/07. Helpful? / 0
Sounds like your kitten has picked up an upper respiratory infection. You need to get him on antibiotics ASAP! Also, has he been vaccinated? If not, get him to a vet and get it done, as well as having the infection treated. You could lose him if you don't take care care of this!

Besides following the obligatory practices of Islam, belief in Allah (swt) and adherence to the Sunnah of our Prophet (sa) entail that we strive towards high morality, continuous self-improvement, and perfection of soul and body. Every believer would like to be in special favour with the Most High: to be the best in deeds, have the most important standing, and be most beneficial for the society. All of us work on ourselves to some degree: every one of us in our own ways, according to our own capabilities and in line with our own understanding of perfection.
When we analyze the results of our work on ourselves, sometimes we realize that we have not achieved much in this life – we have not become better; in some ways, we are even worse than we were a few years ago. We wish to be healthy and fit; however, we do not play sports more often than once a month, thus with every next year becoming more and more ill. We wish to be kind and polite; however, we once again lose our temper on our close ones due to trivial matters. We wish to get up every night for the night prayer; yet, we achieve it only in Ramadan. The endless list of failures goes on and on. Why don't our efforts bring the desired results? Are we capable of changing towards the good, or maybe that is only for those singled out by Allah (swt)?

When Apple reported its Q1 2014 earnings results this week, it couldn't deny the fact that, as Tim Cook put it, "iPod is a declining business." That's because Apple's results showed it only sold a little over 6 million iPods in the holiday quarter— about half of what it sold the same time the year before. That sparked endless headlines (pictured above) that the iPod is dead, but Apple appears to at least have one more new iPod product launch in the works.

When people start making comparisons between now and the 1970s, I always hope they're talking about some great new retro-sounding band, not about the financial markets.
We all know that popular music reached its creative peak around 1973, with the likes of Led Zeppelin IV and Stevie Wonder's Talking Book.
Unfortunately the '70s were not so good on their economics as they contained the last great period of global "stagflation" – that terrible situation between 1973 and 1975 where economic growth was tanking, yet inflation remained stubbornly high.
So when a Brisbane-based hedge fund manager mentioned the magical decade in an update to financial planners last week, I was crossing my fingers that he'd start raving about Wolfmother (Led Zep Lite) or the new LP by
Alas, no. He thinks stagflation might be back.
The hedgie in question,
But Hobart doesn't see a lot of blue sky in the combination of extremely inflationary monetary policies and austere fiscal policies put in place by developed country governments around the world.
The combination of weak growth and high commodity costs, driven by incessant developing world demand, will create a situation where the prices of "necessities" such as energy and food rise, while "stuff that's typically debt financed goes down".
It will worry the many property developer readers of these pages, but Hobart thinks bricks-and-mortar will suffer in this correction. "Property used to be a real asset but the loan-to-value ratios have turned it into a financial asset," he says.
In a stagflationary environment, the standard share investing strategy of "buying the dip" probably won't work, he suggests.
His global macro fund, which uses futures contracts to go "long" or "short" on entire asset class markets, is now short on equities everywhere. He's hoping to profit from "put options" on Japanese government bonds, which will be in the money if the bonds get cheaper – although it may take a return to the 1980s, when Japan actually had some inflation, for that bet to pay off.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Apparently I am another person that had been ripped off by Brian Clark of the Classic Chassis in Fayetteville, NC. I was overseas in Iraq when I had my car taken to his shop to be worked on. I paid him a total of $8,500 he says I only paid $6,500. My 71 Torino was suppose to have new engine wiring work, complete blast and prime, and sheet metal repair. My doors, hood, trunk and front end only got blasted and primed. The roof and quarter panels didnt. He took my ignition switch out and didnt replace it so I had to start my car with a screw driver, I also had to open my trunk with a screwdriver since he took the lock out and didnt replace or put the old one back in. My door is no longer sitting on the hinges properly, the trunk isnt lined up right. He didnt even put my license plate mount back on so I drove all the way home with no license plate. Needless to say I got screwed on the work that he supposedly had done.
I just want to know if anyone else has had a proplem with this guy. He needs to be put out of business screwing people over like this.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee athletics department announced Friday that freshman Lady Vol tennis player Sarah Toti underwent successful surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee. Toti suffered the injury during doubles play of Tennessee's home match against Arkansas on March 25.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Greg Mathien and Dr. Russell Betcher of the Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic at UT Medical Center. Toti is expected to return in time for the start of the 2013 season.
Ranked as the 13th-best prospect nationally and a five-star blue-chip recruit by TennisRecruiting.net out of Las Vegas, Nev., Toti earned a conference-high three SEC Freshman of the Week honors in 2012. Though her rookie campaign ended early, her 26 doubles wins were already tied for the seventh-most by a Lady Vol freshman all-time, highlighted by a 15-match winning streak with Brynn Boren (Nov. 11-Feb. 25).
Toti will enter her sophomore season with a 15-11 record in singles and a 26-7 mark in doubles.

Williams drops Bowdoin to advance
Eagles advance to semifinals for second year in a row
CARY, N.C. – Everyone in the Division III tennis world knew this would be a close match based on the two previous encounters between Bowdoin and Williams this spring with each team winning once.
In both of the two previous matches between Williams and Bowdoin this season the Ephs came out of doubles play with a 2-1 lead. On April 28th at Bowdoin that led to a 5-4 Eph victory and on May 5th in Williamstown it did not stop Bowdoin from winning 5-3.
Monday the first doubles match to come off the court was at number two, where the Eph tandem of Felix Sun and Matt Micheli downed Doug Caplan and Kyle Wolstencroft 8-4. Sun/Micheli broke a 1-1 tie with two consecutive wins to lead 3-1 before Caplan/Wolstencroft got one game back. Sun/Micheli then won the next three games to open up a 6-2 advantage on their way to the win.
Bowdoin evened the match when their pairing of Casey Grindlon and Chris Lord downed the Eph senior duo of Will Petrie and Kevin Shallcross 8-5. Down 4-1, Petrie and Shallcross rallied to get back in the match at 7-5 before succumbing.
At one doubles the Polar Bears' team of Oscar Pena and Sam King broke on top 2-0 and then went up 4-1, before the Eph team of Trey Meter and Bryan Chow closed the deficit to 5-3. Meyer/Chow then won three of the next four games to tie the match at six all. Pena/King went up 7-6, then 8-7 and Meyer/Chow answered each Polar Bear with a win to force a tiebreak.
Pena/King gave the Polar Bears a 2-1 lead coming out of doubles play when they captured the tiebreaker 7-3 to win 9-8.
To advance to tomorrow's semifinals round the Ephs needed to collect four singles wins, a feat they had not achieved versus Bowdoin in the two previous matches.
"It was a barn burner just as we expected it to be," said Eph head coach Dan Greenberg. "We got off to a slow start in doubles, but we fought in every match. I told the guys being down 2-1 after doubles was not the worst thing in the world if they were willing to battle."
"Bowdoin started off very strong and made it a true battle," continued Greenberg."We stayed in the match and fought and we were helped by a lot of great fan support."
The Ephs opened singles play on a mission winning, five of the first six sets. Eph captain Will Petrie fashioned an impressive comeback to take his first set at six singles. Down 4-0 Petrie battled back to tie and then won the tiebreak (7-3) to capture the set 7-6.
Bryan Chow collected the Ephs' second point with a straight set win over Noah Bragg, 6-4, 6-1.
The Polar Bears responded though with a win at four singles when Casey Grindlon downed Zach Weiss in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.
Eph junior Felix Sun who has impressed all spring at singles evened the match at three when he won at two singles in straight sets against Sam King. Sun took the first set 6-3 and then won his match with a 7-5 win.
To claim the win Williams or Bowdoin needed to win two of the final three matches and Monday it would be the Ephs.
At six singles Will Petrie held a 4-2 lead in his second set when Sun evened the match. Petrie then proceeded to close out Kyle Wolstencroft with a 6-3 triumph, delivering the fourth point for the Ephs.
"Will as a senior captain really stepped up huge for us today," stated Greenberg. "The energy and play across all six courts was unbelievable and it really felt like a team sport."
At one singles with the match tied at three Bowdoin's Oscar Pena edged Trey Meyer in the second set to even that match and at three singles Matt Micheli was trailing Chris Lord 1-0 in the third set. Micheli then caught fire, won the next six games and boosted the Ephs into the semifinals for the second year in a row and 11th time in the 18 years they have competed in the NCAA tournament.
The match at one singles was not played to determination, but when it ended Meyer held a 3-1 lead against Pena after they had split the first two sets.
With the win the Ephs improve to 18-2 on the year and advance to their second consecutive NCAA semifinals, where they will face Emory.
"We're fired up to have won this match and we're fired up to play Emory tomorrow," Greenberg concluded.
Williams is now 34-2 all-time versus Bowdoin and they own a record of 9-0 versus the Polar Bears in the NCAA tournament.
All-time the Ephs are 49-17 (.742) in the NCAA tournament.

Green Eyes by Coldplay Songfacts
This is a love song written by lead singer Chris Martin about how his life has been so much better ever since he met her and that he could never go on without her. Martin wrote it for another girl before he met Gwenyth Paltrow. He doesn't perform it live anymore because he says it's not right.

My boyfriend and I met when he was going through a really dark time in his life, and I helped him come out of it, so we consider this our song (I have green eyes btw.) Now whenever I'm feeling down, he serenades me with this song making me feel like the luckiest girl in the world :) Needless to say this is my favorite Coldplay song.
Abby - Chicago, Il
Of course,, that comment just really ticked me off. Brilliant song, like the rest of Coldplay, love the way that their songs always sound so pure! Nothing can beat these guys for raw talent, it is brilliant....
Prashant - Kathmandu, Nepal
Green eyes are more rare than blue or brown eyes. The song could have reference to uniqueness in the one he loves. "Anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind" could be saying that anyone who didn't accept that person because they were different was wrong.
Elizabeth - West Bridgewater, Ma
Yeah, well he sure did perform it live on August 3, 2009 at the MA comcast center and even better, he played it on a tiny little stage that was set up in the back of the audience where him and the other 3 were like inches from eachother...I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT PERFORMANCE, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Holly - Syracuse, Ny
This song is so pretty.... it makes me happy to have green eyes! :)
Mckenna - Logan, Ut
I feel that this is Coldplay's most underrated song--I can't understand why it wasn't released as a single!
Noah - Galesburg, Il
Too funny. I was at their concert in Calgary, AB last night & they played this. Awesome. Totally, totally awesome.
Susan - Airdrie, -
This is an awesome song with a swinging, old rock 'n roll feel to it. Of course if I were relating it to my wonderful woman, the song would be called "Brown Eyes."
Adrian - Gettysburg, Pa
ok guys hate to break it to you...but in an intimate show (50 people) at the Opera House in Sydney about 6 years ago - when Chris was asking for requests from the audience and someone yelled out Green Eyes - Chris said he cant play it because "it is about the wrong person". It was recorded for max sessions. But yes they have been playing it on their viva la vida tour to my delight!
Jessica - Melbourne, Australia
great song. and they definitely play it live. they played it for the encore in chicago on their viva la vida tour.
Jourdan - East Lansing, Mi

Q. Is it true the song Green Eyes was written about a cat?
The Oracle replies:
It isn't true no. I think maybe someone is pulling your leg, unless you are pulling mine. It was actually written about 2 people, one of whom is Jonny.
(taken of Coldplay.com)
Julia - Münster, Germany
omg im listening to it now and i have like the cut version lol i put it on top volume cuz i can hardly hear it, and then all of a sudden Love in an Elevator-Aerosmith is blasting in my ears..lol, best Coldplay song, that's not saying much for me
Josh - Toronto
My boyfriend doesn't know it, but I think this could be "his song" because I have green eyes, and he's grown so much in the three years we've been together. He does love this CD, and his favorite song is "Clocks" because he heard it on the radio when we were first going out (I found out later).
Nik - Banning, Ca
omg the swetest song ever! it makes me want green eyes. =D
Melissa - Newtown, Pa
I saw Coldplay at the Cleveland show of their Twisted Logic tour, and I'm pretty sure I remember them playing this song. Furthermore, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_Logic_Tour
states that Green Eyes is one of the songs they commonly played during their "acoustic" set during that tour.
Also, according to the offical Coldplay website, "Green Eyes" is **not** written for Chris' cat. The website states that he has denied it was written about a former lover, and that this rumor has nothing to do with the fact it is infrequently played in concert.
Chris Martin has stated "That's about an American friend of mine who looked after me when I was being a bit of an idiot."
Sada - Cleveland, Oh
?Green eyes? isn't about a girl. In fact, Chris Martin wrote it for his best friend Johnny Buckland. He tells about how his life got better since they met each other and how strong their friendship became. "I think that you should know that, green eyes (Johnny), you're the one that I wanted to find. And anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind (Johnny has never had a solid relationship, Chris once referred). Cause I came here with a load and it feels so much lighter since I met you. And honey you should know that I could never go on without you"..... "Honey, you are a rock upon which I stand" (great friendship)..... "The spotlight shines upon you" (Chris constantly comments on the fact that he does not consider himself handsome; he says that Johnny is more good-looking; moreover, he said a couple of times that Johnny is so much better than himself in every aspect and that he was the best person he ever knew) And when performing ?Green Eyes? live, it can be clearly seen that Chris is singing for Johnny. Hear the song once more and you'll notice what I am trying to get to. And even though it was written as a song about strong friendship, the most important is the hugeness of the feeling and not the feeling itself. That?s why I think that ?Green Eyes? can, and always will, be considered a love song. Anyway, my view is that this is the best song ever written. (Miguel Salgueiro, Portugal)
Miguel - Oporto, Portugal
this song uses the same chords as smelly cat on freinds!
Pianogodd - New Boston, Tx
I saw them last Saturday, and he gave the audience the choice of playing either Green Eyes or Don't Panic, then he said "whichever audience member... says 'Green Eyes' the lou... whichever audience member says 'Green Eyes" wins because we're gonna play 'Green Eyes'".
Heather - Pennsville, Nj
I actually just saw them in San Diego and they performed Green Eyes! It was amazing of course!
Patty - Hemet, Ca
Coldplay songs are too slow and soporific for my liking. If you like Coldplay, why not challenge yourself a little and try listening to The Fall?
Mark - Guildford, England
Many girls i've liked and afterwards loved have green eyes, so when the song came out it was my anthem haha. Love the song AND the band.
Peter - Buenos Aires, Argentina
makes me feel good to have green eyes.
Aja - Gloucester, Ma
I really like this song, I really like this whole album it is so solid. Coldplay is amazing.
Peter - Montrose, Dc
To "victor, ben wheeler, TX": why do you think it's Martin's cat? I haven't heard anyone calling their cat "honey" and say to them "I come here to talk / I hope you understand"...
Dominik - Zurich, Switzerland
no. this song was written for his cat that passed away.
Victor - Ben Wheeler, Tx
this is a beautiful song. too bad he doesn't play it live anymore.

Update: KTVO has learned the names of the victims from Tuesday night's plane crash.James Quinn, 66, and Robert Groh, 64, both of Wisconsin, were pronounced dead at the scene shortly after midnight by Adair County Coroner Brian Noe.Noe says they do not have family ties to the area
Autopsies are scheduled for Thursday in Columbia.Groh was president and owner of Geo-Synthetics LLC (GSI) of Waukesha, WI. He was flying back from a meeting with a customer when the aircraft crashed.--------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE: Two people are confirmed dead after a single-engine plane crashed in northeast Missouri Tuesday evening on its final approach into Kirksville Regional Airport.
The wreckage of the Piper PA-32, registered to RFG LLC in Waukesha, Wis., was barely visible in the rainy darkness.
The small aircraft with two people onboard went down in a rural area about three miles southeast of Kirksville.
The cockpit portion of the plane came to rest not far off of Quail Lane between Foxtrot Lane and Hedgepath Lane.
Airport Director Glenn Balliew said the plane's wreckage was scattered along a 300-yard path through a pasture, a wooded area and a bean field.
The bodies of the two victims were found in a ditch not far from the cockpit.
The Federal Aviation Administration told KTVO the last radar and radio contact with the aircraft was around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday when the plane was five miles from the airport making its final approach.
The FAA says the aircraft had taken off from Centennial Airport in Denver earlier in the day Tuesday.
Its destination was Kirksville.
Federal investigators will be making their way to the scene.
"We're going to secure the scene,â?? said Robert Hardwick, Adair County sheriff. â??NTSB and FAA will be here tomorrow (Wednesday), and then it's going to be an extensive investigation, and we would ask that the public stay out of this area, you know, don't try and come into the area and look and things of this nature because we are going to be doing a lot of things that we have to take care of here."
Investigators said it doesn't appear there was any fire associated with the crash.
It is not clear at this time if weather conditions played a role.
The names of the two men onboard have not been released yet pending the notification of their families.
They were pronounced dead at the scene shortly after midnight by Adair County Coroner Brian Noe.
Autopsies are planned on the two.
Multiple agencies assisted in the two-hour search for the downed plane including the Adair County Sheriffâ??s Office, Kirksville Police Department, Kirksville Regional Airport as well as various area fire departments.
-------------------------------------------------------------A single-engine plane crashed Tuesday evening as it was making its final approach into Kirksville Regional Airport.
A number of agencies in the Kirksville area were looking for the downed aircraft northeast of the airport.
At 9:25 p.m., a searcher located the Piper PA-32 in a bean field approximately 25 feet off of Quail Lane, between Foxtrot Lane and Hedgepath Lane.
The last radar and radio contact with the aircraft was around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday when it was approximately three miles northeast of the airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration told KTVO the aircraft took off from Centennial Airport in Denver earlier in the day on Tuesday.
Two people were believed to be onboard, but their names arenâ??t known at this time.
It is not clear if the weather played a role in the crash or what may have caused it.
KTVO Meteorologist Teresa Carter says there was patchy fog in the area at the time of the crash.
Personnel from the Adair County Sheriff's Office, Kirksville Police Department, Kirksville Regional Airport as well as local fire departments were among those searching for the missing plane.
We will try to bring you more details on the plane crash as they become available.

Little miss Zenna... a.k.a Trouble!
I've been incredibly busy with dog training, raising our new pup and getting ready to move to a new house... not a lot of time to be on here, just figured I'd share a couple photos of our little missy.
We took her to a pet store for socialization yesterday, and ran into a good friend of mine with her GSD. She got to explore, meet a new friendly dog, meet a few new people!
She is incredibly snugly... if she is not running around biting things, she is in our lap or on us somehow.
She is absolutely fearless... she knocked over a large baby gate and without missing a stride charged straight over it. She knocked over my black fold up chair and it landed on top of her and created a black dome around her she couldn't see anything or mpve... she just waited until I lifted it up and then jumped on it. Not even a whimper. She climbs everything, is scared of nothing (although she was hesitant of stairs at my dad's house, but did them with encouragement)... new places don't phase her, she snuggles and plays with anyone, cannot be startled by ANYTHING (we've dropped so much around her, she knocks everything over and carries and throws her stainless steel bowl around.. just doesn't care about noise).
She has also been a breeze to crate train, potty training is going amazing too... we love her to death already. She is definitely a crazy, bitey landshark... she's tough as nails! She bites everything in site so we nicknamed her Trouble. Haha.
Looking forward to moving to a bigger home with a fenced in yard next month, my pack needs some space to run.
Hope you all are well, I don't think I'll be on the forums much in the next while but will update occassionally as I get some titles for Hunter and some new photos of the two.

The Yamaha Tech3 rider took part in the morning warm-up and was 10th fastest after suffering an ankle injury in the Saturday fall.
Crutchlow, who had been targeting a podium finish after starting five successive races this season in the top five, will have to start from the back of the grid.
"Full extent of injury is I have a broken and dislocated left ankle. It's back in place now, but worst pain I've had so will try my best in race," he said on his Twitter feed
Crutchlow missed last year's race after crashing in qualifying and breaking his collarbone in five places.
He is in his second season with the French-based team but is out of contract at the end of the year and faces an uncertain future.
His results this season have caught the eye however, with him qualifying in the top five in all five races so far and taking two fourth-place finishes as well as two fifths.
The Coventry-born rider is currently fifth overall with 56 points after making the best start to a season by a British rider in the top flight since Ron Haslam in 1987.

One of the many persistent lies we hear from the Left is that whites are no longer the majority of America. Citing a US Census report, the New York Times said the latest Census showed that just over 50% of Americans under 1 year old are non-white.
This was an example of the liberal media disregarding the truth to write a story that fits its narrative. The Census Bureau is not the definitive source of data about the race of babies born in America. That role is filled by the National Center For Health Statistics (NCHS).
The NCHS reports something very different. It says that 54.4% of babies born in the latest reporting period were non- Hispanic whites. Moreover, rather than slipping toward the tipping point that would cause delight in America's newsrooms, the trend of births since 2008 has been more white births than non-white births.
In the years from 2009 to 2011, black births have held just about even, Hispanic births have dropped almost 1 ½ percentage points, and white births have climbed by 1 percent.
Why would this be?
The Gutmacher Institute, a group known for its love of death through abortions, offers this data that explains the growing gap between white and non-white births.
"Non-Hispanic black and Hispanic women have higher rates of abortion (40 and 29 per 1,000 women aged 15–44, respectively) than non-Hispanic white women do (12 per 1,000). The higher rates reflect the fact that black and Hispanic women have high unintended pregnancy rates (91 and 82 per 1,000 women, respectively), compared with non-Hispanic white women (36 per 1,000 women)." The rate at which non-white women kill their babies is three times higher than the rate at which white women kill their babies.
Given the amount of economic and other kinds of damage Barack Obama is doing to blacks and Hispanics, there is little reason to think they will start to reproduce at a rate that will bring their races to a majority in our country anytime soon. Does this make much of a difference? In the short run, the answer is no. In the long run, however, it is certainly yes. If we are ever going to turn things around, we need more wagon pullers and fewer wagon sitters.

I am looking for an independent appraisal of my portfolio. What would you suggest?
This is one of the most common questions I get from readers. Some are working with an adviser and want a second opinion because their portfolio never seems to gain ground. Others are do-it-yourselfers who want to make sure they're on track. Still others have inherited a portfolio, or taken over the finances from a spouse, and aren't sure where to begin.
I don't provide specific investment advice to individuals – I'm a financial journalist, not an adviser or portfolio manager – but I have looked at some of these portfolios myself and noticed several common themes.
In many cases the fees are too high, often because the portfolio is stuffed with mutual funds whose management expense ratios (MERs) are north of 2 per cent. Other common problems include a level of risk that is inappropriate for the person's age, a scattershot approach to stock-picking that lacks a clear strategy, or the presence of complex products that generate fat commissions for the adviser but which the client doesn't understand.
Derek Moran, a fee-only registered financial planner in Kelowna, B.C., spends a lot of his time reviewing portfolios and has seen all kinds.
"It's probably half of my work. I see beautiful stuff and I see junk," says the president of Smarter Financial Planning. He charges $200 to $400 for a simple review, which includes an analysis of the portfolio's fees, asset allocation and diversification. If the client is working with a professional, he also reviews that person's credentials.
Higher-level financial designations, such as chartered financial analyst or portfolio manager, require years of study, whereas the requirements to obtain a mutual fund or insurance sales licence are less rigorous. The type of designation often determines the sorts of products the adviser recommends.
If the portfolio is problematic, Mr. Moran gives the client a couple of options.
"The first thing I say is, 'You can manage it yourself if you want,'" he says. For do-it-yourselfers, he recommends a conservative dividend approach. For clients who want the expertise of a professional and have about $500,000 or more in assets, he recommends seeking out a licensed portfolio manager. Unlike advisers who generate commissions from stock transactions or mutual funds, portfolio managers charge a fee based on the size of the account.
He prefers portfolio managers because there are fewer potential conflicts of interest and the costs can be lower. Fees start at about 1.5 per cent annually but can be well under 1 per cent for accounts worth several million dollars. (For tips on selecting a portfolio manager, see the Portfolio Management Association of Canada's website.)
Jason Heath, a fee-only certified financial planner in Toronto, prefers not to review a client's portfolio in isolation. He takes a more comprehensive approach that includes tax planning, estate planning and cash flow needs. The cost for this generally ranges from $1,500 to $2,500.
"When I start working with a new client I will always take a close look at their portfolio," he says. "One of the first questions I'll ask a client is how are they paying their adviser. Most of them don't know."
Most advisers do a fine job, he says, but problems aren't uncommon. For example, he occasionally sees large portfolios invested entirely in mutual funds with hefty deferred sales charges. "The adviser may be doing the best job they can but because they only hold a mutual fund licence they can't build a portfolio any other way," Mr. Heath says.
In other cases, portfolios are too risky. For instance, a woman came to him in 2008 after her husband had died. She described herself as a "very conservative" investor, yet her portfolio was 95 per cent in equities on the recommendation of her adviser. Mr. Heath ended up introducing her to a new adviser who came up with a more suitable asset allocation.
With a portfolio review, you want to make sure you're getting unbiased advice, which is why a fee-only planner who doesn't sell investment products may be a good place to start. For more information on choosing a fee-only planner see my column here.Report Typo/Error

There's coffee, and there's Italian coffee.
Although London has embraced the espresso machine in recent years, our coffee culture is still more American - long, milky drinks, heavy on froth with the actual coffee diluted to an aftertaste - than Italian. In Italy, coffee is a more flavoursome affair, made from a strong (not bitter) espresso base, with smaller doses of steamed milk (not foam!), creating a drink that gives you an early morning caffeine kick without the aftertaste.
Princi was created by restaurateur Alan Yau, (of Wagamama fame) who decided to open the first store of celebrated Milanese baker Rocco Princi outside Italy bang in the middle of Soho. The baristas make it look effortless but the coffee is first rate, reaching the right balance of flavour without the bitterness. Princi's wood-fired cakes, pizzas and breads have made this a Soho institution and the canteen-style seating makes for a social, bar-like atmosphere. But go on a Sunday morning when Soho sleeps and you'll find a corner with your name on it.

Caffé Vergnano
You'll notice the unique Elektra espresso machine as soon as you walk in – a large silver turbine with steam gadgets and coffee spouts sticking out and an ornate sculptured eagle on top. Caffé Vergnano is where coffee is given the reverence it deserves, as shown by the six different types of espresso on offer, including Espresso Giacometta, served with whipped cream, crushed hazelnuts and meringue. Since opening his original outlet in Charing Cross Road in 2002, owner Luciano Franchi has opened three other venues, including the caffé/restaurant on the Southbank that also serves up a great menu of authentic Italian food.

Food Lab
While Islington may pride itself on having great coffee bars, none beats Food Lab for smooth and uncomplicated beverages. Order a caffé latte and you'll receive an aromatic coffee base with just enough steamed milk to last the extra gulp, as opposed to the hot-milk-before-bedtime brews that are usually passed off elsewhere. As well as a selection of good coffees and accompanying cakes and Italian desserts (temptingly displayed by the counter), this rustic bistro serves homemade focaccia rolls and pasta dishes. Many people go for their morning coffee, only to linger for lunch too.
56 Essex Road, N1 8LR, 020 7226 1001, moodforfood.co.uk
Scooter Caffé
Posters, vintage number plates nailed to the walls and a dilapidated Vespa in the window all pay homage to Italy's love of scooters, the theme for this funky coffee shop. A sign at the counter informs customers not to ask for a "flat white", as only traditional coffee is served and true to their word, the staff know how to squeeze delicious coffee drop by drop out of their Faema percolator. During the day it's cappuccino and homemade cakes served to those in the know, who are kept amused by a family of cats that prowls the premises. At night, Scooter Caffé transforms into a lovely, unpretentious bar serving beers and cocktails in an area lacking in good watering holes.

Many people will find the cappuccino served at Arancina a bit on the small side, but this is how coffee is served in Rome – in tea cup sized portions rather than the tankers of froth popularised by the large chain stores. As well as great coffee, Arancina serves great pastries and authentic Italian desserts. And if you drop by for dinner, be sure to try the house speciality, the arancini – saffron rice balls – which come with an array of fillings including spinach and ricotta, mozzarella, mushrooms or chicken.

Systematic studies have been done on two different powder materials used for additive manufacturing: stainless steel and cobalt-chrome. The characterization of these powders is important in NIST efforts to develop appropriate measurements and standards for additive materials and to document the property of powders used in a NIST-led additive manufacturing material round robin. An extensive array of characterization techniques were applied to these two powders, in both virgin and recycled states. The physical techniques included laser diffraction particle size analysis, X-ray computed tomography for size and shape analysis, and optical and scanning electron microscopy. Techniques sensitive to chemistry, including X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis using the X-rays generated during scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were also employed. Results of these techniques will be used to shed light on the question: how does virgin powder change after being exposed to and recycled from one or more additive manufacturing processes? In addition, these findings can give insight into the actual manufacturing process.

The baby's heart wasn't beating.
Rushing to help with a million things happening at once, the nurse prepared a dose of epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, to return the child to the living. But the dose was too much—10 times too much.
The situation was a simulation and the baby was a Laerdal manikin. This time Stephanie Blundell, assistant professor of nursing in Fresno Pacific University's new master of science in nursing program, was the "confederate," intentionally making the mistake to judge the reactions of the students, all registered nurses.
Blundell has seen students make that and other mistakes that would be fatal in real life. Simulations are a central part of the MSN curriculum because, more than reading a case study, a simulation sharpens students' skills and gives them a taste of the emotional side of the work. "It's important we have a very safe environment," Blundell says.
Classes for the MSN program began August 28, 2013, at the North Fresno Center with 20 registered nurses with bachelor's degrees. The goal of the 51-unit program, which will meet weekly for five semesters, summer included, is to prepare students for licensure as nurse practitioners and nursing educators.
FPU offers two tracks: family nurse practitioner and nurse educator/clinical specialist. The first track focuses on caring for patients and the second on teaching. All students, however, will do a micro-teaching practicum.
A great start Community support for the MSN program has already been strong. The Fresno-based Leon S. Peters Foundation has given $140,000 to purchase equipment for the simulation lab. Blundell's story moved the foundation to finance a child manikin as well as an adult-sized one, in addition to two-way screens and a multi-position electric hospital bed. "We need nurses in the Central Valley," said Foundation President Kenneth Peters. "This gift helps everyone."
Edwin and Mildred (Warkentin PBI '48) Ewy have given an additional $17,000 for nursing equipment. The Ewys provided seed money for Fresno Pacific's bachelor of science in nursing program.
Both donations will help the MSN program create nursing leaders. "The gifts from the Peters Foundation and the Ewys are a direct contribution to quality of life," said Karen Cianci, dean of the School of Natural Sciences.
Why nurse practitioners? Nurse practitioners are becoming more important in California's Central Valley as the new federal health and insurance regulations take effect in an area already short on resources, including medical doctors. "Every national trend will be exacerbated in the Valley because many rural and urban clinics are already underserved," Cianci said.
With the ability to supervise clinics, prescribe medication and oversee health promotion and disease prevention efforts, nurse practitioners can free up doctors for many other tasks. "A master's education in nursing equips nurses with valuable knowledge and skills," said Mariamma Mathai, Ed.D., professor of nursing and director of the nursing program.
This opportunity to do good for the Valley is also a chance for the students to do very well. While nurses can earn $80,000 a year in hospital, the income of a nurse practitioner, depending on where he or she practices, can be twice that, Cianci said. "This is a burgeoning and highly paid career," she said.
Quality from the first The nursing department, which already offers a BSN through the bachelor's degree completion program, has been going full speed since the FPU Board of Trustees approved the MSN program this June in order to start in August. "That's two months, that's huge," Cianci said.
Response was immediate. The goal was to start with 15 students. "In 48 hours we had more than 18 applicants," Cianci said. Ultimately more than 30 applications were received.
Current students have a combined 230 years of experience and range in age from 20s to mid-career. They come from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including Hmong, Hispanic, Filipino, Indian and African American as well as European American. Some have missions or military experience. "You really felt like you were in a professional meeting," Cianci said of orientation.
The FPU difference Wherever they come from, students will learn true health care involves more than prescriptions and procedures. Care for the whole person is one way FPU's MSN program stands apart. "The university is Christ-centered and the program is grounded in Christian principles," Mathai said.
The program is different in format as well. The curriculum is a blend of in-person and online instruction, in a cohort system where a group of students remains together through the program. "The class schedule is geared toward the working adult," Mathai said.
Graduates will have the tools to improve health in the Valley. "Our nurses will be able to teach patients how to care for themselves and how to make healthy lifestyle choices," Mathai said.
The next cohort is now planned for fall 2014. For more, contact Joanie Joy at firstname.lastname@example.com 559-453-3446.

P.C. 8798/DM4 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of P.C. 8798in our 2015, and 2016 Pierre Cardin range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Wearing classical semi-rim eyewear, your outfit is given ample space to achieve its effect, still leaving enough room for a stylish accent in your face. As a result, this type of frame is very versatile and combinable. Rectangular models are particularly suitable for round and oval faces. The rectangular shape also builds a bridge to corners and edges from an image aspect. The metal frame is very light and comfortable to wear. It is both robust and classy. The colour pink is a real all-rounder. It can be ladylike, be chic in the right combination and can be worn with a twinkle in your eye. For men who have the courage, pink is still en vogue.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Pierre Cardin back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

text: I recently got a problem with my stock radio/cassette player in my 93 Suburban. About a year ago the cassette player began eating tapes. Nothing too strange about that. It is one of those units where the cassette player is mounted in the center of the dash and the radio is mounted separate just to the right of the instrument panel. I just stopped using the cassette and just occasionally listened to the radio. I'm not a big commerical radio fan, so the radio did not get used a great deal after that. About a month ago I noticed the clock time was incorrect. I turn on the radio and it lights up like normal, but the buttons will not change anything nor will any sound come from the radio. I can't change radio channels, change the volume or clock or anything. The clock always says the same time of day, never advancing. The only button that seems to do anything is the power supply (off/on) switch. Checked the fuse and it is fine. I don't really have much of a clue where to look for the problem, so I've avoided taking out the units from the dash until I get an idea what could cause it or whether it can be fixed or needs replacing. Any clues? Since this uses a separate cassette player from the radio unit, what do I replace it with if it can't be fixed?

You may be able to buy your nieces and nephews some Chrome apps for the holidays this year.
We just received this invitation from Google to attend a Chrome-centric event Tuesday. It arrived in our e-mail inboxes early Friday afternoon.
Our guess is this will mark the public debut of the much-anticipated Chrome Store — Google's directory where users can browse and install Chrome extensions, web apps and downloadable apps that run in the browser.
The "store for web apps" opened up to developers in August. And Chrome 8, which arrived Thursday, is the first version of Google's browser with the ability to plug in to the Chrome Store — although, at this point, there's nothing there yet to install.
It's likely that could change Tuesday. Unless of course Google is going to start selling HTML5 Christmas ornaments or hardware-accelerated menorahs.
Engadget, citing an unnamed source, is speculating the event will be used to launch a laptop running Chrome OS. Of course, the event could see the arrival of both some hardware and the store you can browse to fill it up.
"Installable web apps" may sound like a contradiction in terms. After all, don't web apps get served to a client from a web server? Well, yes, there's that kind, and then there's the kind you download and install. Google describes an installable web app as "a normal website with a bit of extra metadata." The app is packaged, then downloaded and installed by the user, where it runs in the browser (online or off) and can access local storage.
The excitement around this new software-distribution model has of course exploded ever since the iTunes Store and the Android Marketplace proved it works well for native apps on mobile devices. Now others are shifting the model to cloud-based services built in web standards that run in the browser.
Mozilla, which makes the Firefox browser, is also developing its own store for installable web apps based on its nascent Open Web Applications platform.
Epicenter's Ryan Singel contributed to this report.
