Customers from the Asia/Pacific region played a big part in the banner year European airframer Avions de Transport Regional posted in 2005. They accounted for just over two thirds of the 90 firm orders and 26 options that ATR received for its 48-seat 42-500 and 68-seat 72-500 twin turboprop regional airliners–in what was the company's best year for sales since 1989, when it logged 107 sales.
Of 61 sales from the region last year, 50 came from ATR 72 orders placed by two major Indian operators: 30 from Air Deccan (plus 20 options) and 20 from Kingfisher Airlines (plus 15 options). Pakistan International Airlines ordered seven ATR 42s, Air Tahiti took one ATR 72 (plus one option) and Air Caledonie committed to two 72s and a 42.
At the beginning of 2006, 112 ATRs operating in 15 countries throughout the Asia/Pacific region and a backlog of 55 aircraft is heading for this part of the world. These comprise 47 for India, four for Tahiti, three for New Caledonia and one for Taiwan.
Repeat Performance Unlikely
ATR senior vice president commercial John Moore told Aviation International News that the exceptionally high number of orders for aircraft in 2005 will probably not happen again this year, but the underlying trend points to a plumper order book than in the last few years. "The Asia/Pacific region continues to present growth opportunities for ATR aircraft, and the conditions and factors of the market that contributed to our success should remain positive for additional sales in the region in 2006," he stated. "Clearly the rise in oil price has been a reason for the renewed interest in turboprops. They are considerably more fuel-efficient than jets and therefore they are benefiting from this effect." Moore maintained that the cost efficiencies that regional carriers are still finding in turboprop equipment like the ATR family have prompted rival manufacturers Bombardier and Embraer to "practically discontinue [production of] 50-seat jets."
The average stage length of ATR's operators in the Asia/Pacific region is 200 nm and trip times range between 48 and 54 minutes. Moore argued that this type of route is where the turboprop is the most efficient aircraft because of the low fuel burn and operating economics. He added that they can also beat jet alternatives in terms of airfield performance. According to ATR, a 70-seat jet will burn 55 percent more fuel than the ATR 72-500.
About 25 percent of ATR's annual revenue now comes from support activity and the manufacturer is in the process of building infrastructure in India to back its growing fleet there. In addition to the recent 50 Air Deccan and Kingfisher orders, Jet Airways and Indian Airlines' subsidiary Alliance also operate eight and four ATRs, respectively. "Our modest prediction is that the ATR fleet in India will grow from the current level of nearly 30 [ATR] aircraft to approach 100 units over the next four years, so it is a natural development to build up the support structure for this fleet," said Moore.
The manufacturer expects to make a final decision in the first half of this year, but at present the expanded support facilities would include a dedicated spares and logistics center in New Delhi this year and training facilities in Mumbai for Kingfisher and in Bangalore for Air Deccan. It is also currently talking with a potential partner for this new maintenance infrastructure. ATR already operates a fully integrated support center in Singapore and a training center in Bangkok to support operators in Asia.
Eye On China
ATR sees China as the next major growth market in the Asia/Pacific region, even though today very few regional aircraft, and even fewer turboprops, operate in the country. These include five ATR 72s flown since the end of the 1990s by China Southern subsidiary Xianjiang.
"The paucity of regional aircraft is due to a variety of reasons but we can expect that many of these barriers will decrease over time and the potential of the regional market can be realized," concluded Moore.
In addition to Bombardier's Q Series aircraft, Chinese carriers can also choose from out-of-production twin turboprops offered by Saab and BAE Systems on the second-hand lease market. Other imported alternatives to the ATR family include the Ukrainian Antonov An-140. Of course, China builds a turboprop of its own, the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100-powered MA-60, which has reportedly drawn orders for at least 15 examples from four Chinese airlines. A derivative of the XAC 47-200, the MA-60 began flying for Xi'an's Changan Airlines in 1999. Last year final assembler Xi'an Aircraft delivered the first two export versions of the airplane to Air Zimbabwe.

Ghost Pines Red Blend 2010
Other Red Blends from California
Winemaker's Notes
2010 Ghost Pines Red Blend has a dark purple color that alludes to the intense blueberry, licorice and cracked pepper aromas that are framed by hints of toast and cocoa powder. Flavors of syrupy black cherry, blackberry and blueberry and brown spice meld with velvety tannins, creating a rich mouthfeel and a long, plush finish.
Blend: 42% Petite Sirah, 28% Zinfandel, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 1% Syrah
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "I loved the 2010 Red Blend (40% Sonoma, 28% Napa and 32% San Joaquin fruit), an intriguing blend of 42% Petite Sirah, 29% Zinfandel, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. The biggest wine in Ghost Pines' portfolio at 14.6% alcohol, it is a Rhone Ranger-like cuvee revealing notes of bouquet garni, roasted meats, licorice, lavender, black currants and black cherries. Full-bodied, fleshy and filled with personality..."
Ghost Pines Winery
Like the unharnessed, free-form, ghost-like tree with which it shares a name, Ghost Pines represents the long, rich, winemaking heritage of California's finest appellations. By departing from traditional single appellation grape sourcing, the Ghost Pines winemaker is able to craft consistently superior "Winemaker's Blend" wines which showcase the concentrated yet elegant flavor characters that come from the best growing regions in the state.

About Other California
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

There were no comments from Snyder regarding the firings in the release, who stepped in as head coach in 2005. The Herd just finished its third losing season, and fourth season of non-winning record football, in a row with a 3-9 mark for 2007, 3-5 in Conference USA. Marshall did win its final three home games, including a thrilling 46-39 win over UAB on Senior Day this past Saturday.
UAB is one of three Conference USA teams Marshall has not lost to, posting a 3-0 mark in three years in C-USA against the Blazers. Marshall is 2-0 against Tulane and 1-0 against Rice, but has an overall mark of 10-14 in the league since joining in Snyder's first season at the helm in 2005.
Kueck just finished his seventh year on the Marshall staff, coaching the offense of the 1996, 15-0 National Championship team of the Herd in Marshall's final season in I-AA football. He re-joined former head coach Bob Pruett's staff in 2002 as quarterbacks coach.
The next season, Kueck was associate offensive coordinator and QB coach in 2003 and became offensive coordinator and coach of the quarterbacks in 2004. He was interim head coach of the Herd for spring football in 2005 when Pruett resigned just prior to practice beginning, then stayed with Snyder the past three seasons.
Kueck spent the years between Marshall stop one and two by working at Southern Miss, where the Golden Eagles won two conference titles and went to three bowls between 1997-99. He also returned to Texas to coach at C-USA member SMU from 2000-01, when the Mustangs were still in the Western Athletic Conference.
During his career, he has helped to develop four NFL quarterbacks, one running back and four receivers. That list includes Erik Kresser, Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich, Doug Chapman and Randy Moss, while Stan Hill had a stand-out season in the Arena League this year.
His 2007 quarterback, Bernard Morris, had a career-best season, throwing for over 3,000 yards, 17 touchdowns and becoming the first quarterback in Marshall history to rush for over 1,000 yards. He has been evaluated all season by NFL scouts and has been invited to the Hula Bowl in January of 2008.
Smith joined the Marshall staff in 2005, in Snyder's first season, after stops at Clemson (1999-2004), Tulane (1995-98 and 1985-90), Louisiana-Monroe (1993-94), LSU (1991-92), Louisiana-Lafayette (1979-84). Smith graduated and played linebacker at LSU, where he starred on two bowl teams including the 1973 Orange Bowl.
Smith coached the best defensive player in C-USA the past two seasons in Albert McClellan, who was lost to the Herd in August with a knee injury. Also lost this season was starter at defensive tackle Montel Glasco, while the line had numerous injuries throughout the season.
Smith was working with an outstanding group of young linemen this season, including red-shirt sophomore John Jacobs (who missed four games with a hand injury), red-shirt freshman Michael Janac and true freshmen Johnny Jones, Shane Moore and Vinny Curry, who was lost to academic concerns by the NCAA Clearing House after a great two weeks of practice in August. Curry is expected to rejoin the Herd for 2008.
This is the third season the Marshall staff has been shaken up. In 2005, Mike Cummings was hired to coach the offensive line by Pruett to replace Mark McHale, who went to Florida State, just before Pruett retired. Snyder was hired in April of 2005 as head coach and retained Kueck, Jim Collins, George Darlington, Shane Miles and Mark Gale on his staff from Pruett's staff, although Gale became the Director of Football Operations. Dwayne Nunez, Ernie Purnsley, Mike Jenkins and Bill Wilt were released, while Snyder's new hires included Smith, Shannon Morrison, Todd Goebbel, Jared Smith and Mike Cochran.
In 2006, Darlington left for another coaching job and Miles went into private business. Phil Ratliff (TE) and Paul Nichols (DB) were added to the staff. For 2007, Collins was released and Steve Dunlap was brought in to take his place as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Morrison moved from linebackers to safeties, while Nichols was moved to just cornerbacks, instead of coaching the entire secondary.

Going to meet my puppy!!!!
Although I won't know which one yet, as they are only 2.5 weeks old. I get the pick of the litter. There are 4 boys 2 girls. I will get a boy since I already have a 1.5 yr old female. I'm guessing the pups are too young to be able to tell personalities or anything like that yet. Am I right? I want to know if there's anything I should try and pay attention to that might be good to know later on when I get to pick one out/ get matched with one?
First off, congrats! :3
Now, what you should look for really depends on what you're planning to do with the dog. Is he going to be a sport prospect? Pet? SAR dog? Do you want high, medium, or low energy? How much drive are you looking for? These are all questions you should answer and discuss with your breeder/the people on this forum so you can know what to look for. And you shouldn't make your choice until the 7th week, because the pups will change a lot through then. And if you're still having doubts on which one is best for you, it'd probably be best to let the breeder choose your pup for you .
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I like a high drive my current one has a decently high drive. I won't be picking him out till the 7th week. Just thought I could get a head start if I knew what to look for
you should explain to the breeder what you want and don't want in a dog..THEY should be able to suggest which one will fit into your lifestyle. Congrats on our new puppy

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
That can be a challenge.
A good background check will show arrests, however most employment background checks will not likely show it. Also, most applications only ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime. I realize we are talking semantics... but we just have to go with what we can do. You would not be convicted of a crime but you have been charged and there is nothing you can do about it.
Hopefully this will turn out better than you fear. If the judge is willing to reduce your probationary period then it may be possible for you to have this expunged before leaving for Oregon. If not, then you will just have to do the best you can.
I'm sorry I cannot give you a better solution but this is one of the unfortunate consequences. You will hit bumps... but they are not insurmountable.

He came back, "What's a log?"
He is the first person I've met who had heard of a blog without having heard of a log.

Is College Worth It? The $1.4 trillion question gets harder to answer as a record number of Americans attend universities.
One of the most perplexing questions on the minds of young Americans today is whether college is worth the associated tuition cost. It is rather humbling to see that $1.4 trillion in student debt is outstanding today. That is more than auto debt and credit card debt. College tuition has outpaced virtually every category that is tracked in our inflation measures. It has out run housing prices. It has left healthcare in the dust. It has crushed wages which are stagnant for nearly a generation. The last item is probably the most important measure to examine. If college is worth it, why have wages gone stagnant all the while tuition prices continue to go up? Is it because of federal loans? Is it because of mega complexes being built? Or is there something else going on?
95 million Americans not in the labor force: The army of non-workers in the United States.
The United States now has 324 million people. Of that we have a large labor force. 70 million cannot work and most of those are children. But what about the rest? The media largely ignores a massive contingent of people. This group is made of those not in the labor force. Today we have a stunning 95 million Americans that are not in the labor force. So the unemployment rate looks healthier than it is because many of these people are yanked out when calculating the unemployment rate. It is still the case that we have 1 working person supporting 2 other Americans overall. This ratio seems to pan out when we break down the numbers. What are we to make of these 95 million Americans that are not in the labor force?
The American Dream has imploded with the Homeownership rate hitting another low: Most Americans too broke to buy a Home.
Owning a home is symbolic with having a piece of the American Dream. The stereotypical picket white fence with a nice lawn is easily conjured up in the minds of many. Yet for many, this is only a dream because it will never become reality. The American Dream has imploded with many other areas of the economy. We have hit another low when it comes to the homeownership rate. Americans are too broke to purchase homes even with record low interest rates. Home prices have increased hand and hand with the stock market but the problem is, most of the gains have gone to big investors and not families purchasing a place to live. The big bet from Wall Street was to convert many foreclosures into rentals and push rents higher. This is all interconnected like an intricate spider web and the public is the fly trying to break free. The only problem is the housing market has transformed into another trophy for big money investors.
The largest pension fund in the country CalPERs continues to underperform: Weakest return since 2008-09 financial crisis.
The two largest public pensions in the U.S. are Calstrs and Calpers and collectively they oversea $484 billion for public workers in California. Pensions have a hard time surviving in a low return world. For example, these pensions seek out a 7.5% annual return which is simply unrealistic to do in a market that is volatile (by definition, markets are meant to be unpredictable). Not only is the market volatile but we find ourselves in a low return environment. Pensions trying to seek out guaranteed returns are going to have a tough time finding a sure bet when bonds are producing such a low return. Unfortunately these guarantees become contractual and the shortfall needs to be closed by the taxpayer. It is no surprise that pensions have become a rarity in this market. The 401k model of investing was supposed to help workers transition from this guaranteed return to a more market based approach. The only issue with that is most people never save on their own and make bad investment moves. When you are dealing with high frequency traders and other advanced investment techniques, the regular family stands no chance. Recently Calpers posted a dismal return, the worst since the 2008-09 financial crisis.
Gallup Economic Confidence Index plunges while stock market near record: Stock Market decoupled from financial well being of average Americans.
Gallup releases an Economic Confidence Index which should reflect the overall sentiment of Americans as it pertains to the economy. With the stock market near record highs and the housing bubble market soaring, you would expect average Americans to be smiling from ear to ear with glee. But when you click on over to Gallup, the chart looks downright gloomy like finding out you just failed a midterm exam you studied so hard for. While Gallup may be stumped and scratching their head as to why this divergence is there, I feel we have touched upon a few points as to why this is occurring. First, half of Americans don't even own one stock. Next, you have many U.S. companies making large profits abroad. Good for the company but that doesn't translate necessarily into a better financial position for most Americans. Housing values being inflated only keeps Americans from buying as reflected in a generationally low homeownership rate. In other words, crony capitalism is working as it should.

Diamondbacks Claim Gustavo Nunez off Waivers From Pirates
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced via Twitter that they've claimed infielder Gustavo Nunez off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Nunez was the Rule 5 selection by the Pirates last year, but missed the entire year on the 60-day disabled list with an injury that he suffered prior to the Rule 5 draft. The shortstop is regarded as a plus defender, but hasn't done much with the bat, and has only played as high as Double-A.
Since Nunez spent the year on the 60-day disabled list, he would have still been subject to the Rule 5 restrictions in 2013. The Pirates would have had to keep him on the 25-man roster for 90 days before they'd be able to send him down to the minors. Had he cleared waivers, rather than being claimed by Arizona, they would have had to offer him back to Detroit or worked...

Hi all, Im trying hard to make a revolver here and im having a lot of trouble trying to get some parts of it right.
I wonder if anyone was able to solve these smoothing problems im having.
They are mostly 2 problems. One is with smoothing the side of the barrel(??) of the gun. It does a weird thing where the sides go a little bit outside of the model, like they are trying to run away from it or something.
Here are the photos:
And here is the mesh.
Im also trying to model the head of a screw that goes on the gun and im also having problems smoothing it since it does something even wierder than the gun barrel ..
And the mesh:
The thing with this is that I didn`t want the bottom or the sides of the screw to lose their roundness so I couldnt really continue the edges down and around to get them to behave properly.. and now im at a loss. Any ideas?

Boston, 1870. When news of Charles Dickenss untimely death reaches the office of his struggling American publisher, Fields & Osgood, partner James Osgood sends his trusted clerk Daniel Sand to await the arrival of Dickenss unfinished novel. But when Daniels body is discovered by the docks and the manuscript is nowhere to be found, Osgood must embark on a transatlantic quest to unearth the novel that he hopes will save his venerable business and reveal Daniels killer.
Danger and intrigue abound on the journey to England, for which Osgood has chosen Rebecca Sand, Daniels older sister, to assist him. As they attempt to uncover Dickenss final mystery, Osgood and Rebecca find themselves racing the clock through a dangerous web of literary lions and drug dealers, sadistic thugs and blue bloods, and competing members of Dickenss inner circle.

Diesel engines are common in heavy-duty pickups but have not been available in light-duty models since the late 1970s. Why the long break? Diesel engines looked good when fuel prices were high following the energy crisis—and automakers were beginning to put them in cars and light-duty trucks. But an oil glut in the 1980s lowered the cost of fuel to the point where it didn't make sense to spend more for a diesel engine.
According to an article on edmondson.com manufacturers say they didn't revisit diesel because traditional designs were too heavy to work well in a light-duty chassis and because stricter emissions requirements for mass-market half-ton trucks made it hard to use that type of engine. The author of that story theorizes that it may also be because car companies did not want to lose sales of pricey heavy-duty trucks by offering cheaper diesel models.
The economics and technology are different now, which is why Chrysler is introducing the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Pickup. Fuel prices are high and likely to remain that way because of demand by China and other developing countries—so there's an economic argument to be made in favor of diesel. And the technology has improved to the point where it's possible to meet strict emissions standards with diesel engines.
The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup will have a 3.0 liter engine capable of producing 240 HP and 420 pound-feet of torque. It has a tow rating of 9,200 pounds. For more on this new vehicle see the fun and informative video review below.

Technical Abstract: Corn originated in Mexico or Guatemala about 5000 B.C. After recognizing its potential for food, feed, and fuel, native peoples domesticated and improved it. Corn's extraordinary genetic flexibility and variability gave breeding an interactive quality for humans, leading to its rapid acceptance. Corn became not only a cuisine and a staple food for native Americans, but became part of their culture. Native Americans used corn for a wide variety of food products, which were adopted and adapted by the European settlers. Corn became the food staple of the English colonies, then became the food and farming staple that fueled western expansion. Its importance continues today, being the leading cereal of the U.S. Consumption is important not only through meat and dairy products, but processed corn is found in almost everything eaten.

- Supplemental sedation
|Study Start Date:
|November 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2007
This is a pilot study designed to provide preliminary data on the use of dexmedetomidine for outpatient FB procedures requiring sedation. Clinical parameters such as vital signs, level of sedation, dosing and supplemental sedation, and measures of comfort will be evaluated in a population of patients with known Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease undergoing elective FB.
Patients with COPD scheduled for outpatient FB will be provided with an intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine (1 mcg/kg/hr) (Precedex®: Hospira, Inc, Lake Forest, IL) over a 15-30 min period before the procedure and continued throughout the procedure. No loading dose will be used prior to start of infusion. The FB procedure will be conducted according to standard practice using routine monitoring technique.
This dosing regimen of 1.0 mcg/kg/hr was chosen because the loading dose will be omitted and since a previous review have documented a lack of adverse events with maintenance doses exceeding 1 mcg/kg/hr.
Drug infusion will be discontinued if any of the following adverse events are observed: recurrent apnea (Respiratory Rate <7) lasting more than 30 seconds over a 5 min observation period, sustained episodes (30 seconds) hemoglobin oxygen saturation lower than 90% over a 5 min observation period, decrease of heart rate to below 50 beats/min, mean arterial pressure below 70% of its initial value.
If needed, additional sedation will be provided with alternating doses of midazolam 1 mg, or Fentanyl 25 mcg for pain, agitation interfering with the completion of the procedure, or for persistent cough non-responsive to local lidocaine instillation. The amount of Fentanyl and versed used as an adjunct for conscious sedation will also be recorded as part of this study.
The quality of sedation will be assessed using the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale. The quality of analgesia will be assessed using the 11-point (0-10) Numerical Pain Rating scale (NRS). The level of recovery from anesthesia and the return of psychomotor fitness will be assessed using the Modified Post anesthesia Discharge Scoring System (MPADSS). The duration of FB and the time from the end of the procedure to the patient reaching a score of 9 and 10 on the MPADSS (readiness for discharge) will also be measured.
Except for the measurements described above (NRS), no additional procedures will be performed for the purposes of this study.

Hi all, just wondering if any of you know of good suppliers who don't have aspartame or other dodgy sweeteners in their liquid? Pretty sure I've got a PG allergy (body rash, headaches, sore eyes... Def not tobacco withdrawal!) so it got me curious about what else could be in these liquids that could potentially cause problems. Contacted LF help desk and they confirmed the use of artificial sweeteners but it was all a bit vague and needless to say they didn't specify - I've asked them to on the grounds that I'd like to avoid aspartame if I'm going to continue as a customer.... Any ideas on which LF liquids to avoid and/or alternatives would be very much appreciated... Thanks in advance!
Virgin Vapors offer extra flavour for their juices.if its not strong enough for you.
I did love the vapour with them, ever so silky and lots of it too. But @ £16 for 30ml, I wanted my socks blown off, and they stayed resolutely on my footsies! So that's well worth keeping in mind, thanks Dean

Porch Ceiling
Hello all
I've got a porch ceiling that was originally covered with 3/8" plywood and trimmed with some molding along the seams. I think it was a lower grade since there were 'football' shapes that always showed through the paint. Decided to attempt to fix it and went and purchased some oak veneered plywood at the HD.
Did a nice job...tight joints, new molding that was straight as an arrow down the seams, porch is about 10' by 60'. Used heavy duty liquid nails and galvanized finishing nails to nail through the existing plywood and into the trusses that support the roof above. Got it all done, caulked and painted and started wondering. Did I select the wrong material for an exterior application? I am now concerned about lamination durability and warping. Did I make a huge mistake and if so any solutions? Thank you very much.
If it was stamped exterior glue on the rough side, it should be OK. Often oak, birch, etc., plywood is not exterior glue, but if it is painted, it may be OK. It is already up and finished, so I wouldn't start worrying now.
The "footballs" are what the mill uses to fill knot holes, and structurally, or otherwise, there is nothing wrong with them. However, since you did not like their appearance, and do like what you have now, as Bill said, don't worry about it.
Thank you for your responses. I suppose worrying now isn't going to do much good but it is hard not to. If it matters it was primed with Zinnser 123 and painted with 2 coats of Kelly Moore Exterior Paint. Oh and no it wasn't marked exterior. I guess time will tell. Any other comments greatly appreciated, if not I will try to put it to bed.
Too many unknowns here. Location (climate) would help, for one thing.
Open porch, exposed to temperature and humidity changes?
"tight joints"? Does that mean you left no room for expansion? Could be a problem down the road, especially if your area is humid.
All valid points to keep in mind for subsequent projects, but since it's glued and nailed, again, don't worry about it. A good learning project.
The back label "exterior" is not for glue, but location: http://www.tpub.com/content/construc...s/14043_75.htm

Time-Dependent Density Functional Molecular Orbital and Excited State Calculations on Bis(porphyrinyl)butadiynes in the Monocationic, Neutral, Monoanionic, and Dianionic Oxidation States
Arnold, Dennis & Wilson, Gregory (2005) Time-Dependent Density Functional Molecular Orbital and Excited State Calculations on Bis(porphyrinyl)butadiynes in the Monocationic, Neutral, Monoanionic, and Dianionic Oxidation States. The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part A: Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment and General Theory, 109(27), pp. 6104-6113.
Accepted Version
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
We report a theoretical study of the multiple oxidation states (1+, 0, 1−, and 2−) of a meso,meso-linked diporphyrin, namely bis[10,15,20-triphenylporphyrinatozinc(II)-5-yl]butadiyne (4), using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT). The origin of electronic transitions of singlet excited states is discussed in comparison to experimental spectra for the corresponding oxidation states of the close analogue bis{10,15,20-tris[3',5'-di-tert-butylphenyl]porphyrinatozinc(II)-5-yl}butadiyne (3). The latter were measured in previous work under in situ spectroelectrochemical conditions. Excitation energies and orbital compositions of the excited states were obtained for these large delocalized aromatic radicals, which are unique examples of organic mixed-valence systems. The radical cations and anions of butadiyne-bridged diporphyrins such as 3 display characteristic electronic absorption bands in the near-IR region, which have been successfully predicted with use of these computational methods. The radicals are clearly of the "fully delocalized" or Class III type. The key spectral features of the neutral and dianionic states were also reproduced, although due to the large size of these molecules, quantitative agreement of energies with observations is not as good in the blue end of the visible region. The TDDFT calculations are largely in accord with a previous empirical model for the spectra, which was based simplistically on one-electron transitions among the eight key frontier orbitals of the C4 (1,4-butadiyne) linked diporphyrins.

Urinal Doubles As A Sink To Conserve Water [Pics]
An environmental initiative that encourages men to was their hands at the same time.
Stand is a urinal that tries to tackle two problems at the same time– water shortages around Europe, and men not washing their hands after using the restroom.
Latvian designer Kaspar Jursons says:
It's not just a fancy piece of art.
Combining function and consumption, you're able to wash your hands in the top part of the urinal, which runs directly into the bowl, allowing the same water you used on your hands to flush the urinal. This replaces the current model of flushing, then washing, which uses twice as much water.
The urinal currently sells for about $590 per unit. They're getting manufactured on a small scale and have already sold to buyers in Norway, Germany, Russia, Poland, and Latvia.
Apart from the thousands of liters of water it's already saved, the design is a hard-to-miss reminder to wash your hands before leaving the restroom.

where to store jojoba oil?
Do you put it in the fridge? I notice it's hardened kinda like coconut oil and I was just wondering where it's best to be stored.
I keep mine at room temperature. Stays nice and liquidy. I've never heard about putting it in the fridge? Is it supposed to make it last longer that way?
and it's stable? doesn't become rancid too quickly? that's the only reason i was thinking of keeping it in the fridge.
It is stable. It doesn't have any smell, and it's still clear, and it's been on the counter for almost a year. Here's a link with some information: http://www.answers.com/topic/jojoba-oil The fourth paragraph down says that "It does not oxidize or become rancid and does not break down under high temperatures and pressures."
I always kept mine in room temperautre too and nothing happened to it. I don't have it any more now though, so I don't remember what brand I used. Maybe they are different some how.
i keep my jojoba oil in the shower.

Updated at 12:35 p.m. ET: President Obama will make a statement on Japan from the Rose Garden at 3:30 p.m. ET. Stay tuned.
"I'm going to be making a statement later about Japan," Obama said in a photo opportunity with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.
Obama also announced he will visit Ireland in May.
The U.S. and Irish leaders are heading up to the Capitol for a St. Patrick's Day lunch.
From the pool report:
"There is just an incredible bond between our two countries," POTUS said from the Oval Office. "And that's one that we want to reaffirm here today."
He said he and Eddy had an "excellent conversation" about how Ireland will be"bouncing back" from its severe economic problems.
POTUS thanked Eddy for help with the effort in Afghanistan and for work on issues such as international food security.
"Overall, the state of the relationship of our two countries is extraordinarily strong," POTUS said. "This is a wonderful tradition ... St. Patrick's Day, for me to be able to once again reaffirm the great warmth and affection that have towards the people in Ireland."
Obama said his visit to Ireland in May would include the usual tourist sites but he also would seek the roots of his "great, great, great, great, great grandfather."
Eddy, dressed in dark suit and green tie, returned the kind words. "Ireland is open for business," he said.

Beautiful place to stay. A little further out from Otavalo town but defiantly worth it. Friendly staff, great size dorm room with comfortable beds. Surrounded by amazing scenery with lovely walks. We actually walked to the market Saturday morning, within 1hr and 20mins. The hostel is equipped with everything you would need, yummy dinners and a decent breakfast. Plus a dart board for all those English fans out there
Glad you enjoyed the place, thanks for your comments!

A huge complex surrounded by beautiful mountains and a giant volcano. It has several different houses, conservatories with stunning views, library & TV room, gym, roof terrace, swing with a view of Otavalo & many nice little suprises. More than you could wish for really. Staff is super friendly & helpful. The only thing missing was the atmosphere that is created when there are more guests. Being the only guests made the place seem quite empty. Dorms at 10$ would surely attract more travelers! :)
Thanks for your comments and mentioning the extra features we have! Ours is a place to relax for a few days, go for walks or rides in the hills, have a game of tennis or work out on the gym equipment, relax in our beautiful garden and read or listen to music in our new conservatory.And we have now reduced our dorm price to just $12 pp per night, including tax and breakfast, surely now a bargain to stay at a country resort. And on Saturday market day each week we still provide free transport to the famous Otavalo market!

Hostel location gorgeous but that's about it. Staff is pleasant, besides owners. They seemed put out to help. Wifi password hadn't been updated in room and when asked for the new one they were unfriendly. Food is way overpriced ($9 dinner). Were awakened several times in morning by knocks on door (before 8am). Jacuzzi=$$ Unprofessional, unwelcoming, overpriced.
Glad you liked the location and the staff, but sorry you didnt enjoy your stay, Our place is normally very peaceful and friendly, and we would never disturb anyone before 8 am, not sure what happened there. In our restaurant you can choose cheaper snacks or soup if you dont want to have the full $9 dinner, and the jacuzzi costs $5 per person (max $20) because heating it up is expensive. You can stay in the dorm for as little as $12 per night including tax and breakfast, and enjoy the lovely garden and views, wifi , tennis, pingpong, hammocks, animals ,gym equipment and mountain walks all for nothing. Its a lovely walk 1 hour walk by the stream to the market in Otavalo, and we also take tourists to the market on Saturday mornings free of charge,

Aeria is good at marketing their games and selling their lottery boxes, the amount of people that buy those things is beyond stupid. In the end they keep games alive thanks to their cash shops and the fools that throw money at them. Being a casual player who doesn't mind taking it slow it's all good for me.
Those people that throw all their money at the company will likely get bored and quit because they rushed content and expect to have every Eidolon they wanted just because they spent 1k when it's out been in obt for like a week+ lol.
If only they realised playing more casually and taking the time to earn eidolons the hard slow way they would enjoy the game so much more.
Ah well that's what f2p gaming is all about i guess..
Mostly agree with above but one nitpick, there's a P2W game I've played for like 13+ years and there's a good bit of people who have spent thousands of dollars on their character over the years and still play. It boils down to the replayability and immersion factor of a game.
Mainly refering to the privledged people who spend big and expect to have everything rare in the game just to show off lol.. I have a good laugh when I see people spend a ton of money and get nothing in those boxes.
They just don't realise more and more content will be released and their will be times when they will have sales and give us easier ways to obtain certain things like eidolons.

- Purchased and Renovated the Transportation North Satellite Bus Terminal and Maintenance Facility
- Roofing: Provided Roofing Replacements at 12 District Facilities
Growth to 2012–$157.5M
North East ISD is projected to grow by approximately 2,000 students annually, which is equal to about 100 classrooms. At this time, there are five schools north of Loop 1604 that are capped to new enrollment due to student population growth. District data shows that the seven elementary schools north of Loop 1604 surpassed their total classroom and core (library, cafeteria and gym) capacity in 2006. This growth is not expected to slow down in the next nine years. Middle schools north of Loop 1604 (Bush, Lopez and Tejeda) are also expected to exceed their total classroom and core capacities by 2010.
Four new elementary schools will be designed and constructed as part of the 2007 Bond Program. Two new elementary schools will open in August 2010 (Tuscany Heights and Bulverde Green) and an additional two Elementary Schools in August 2012.
Facility Equity and Additions–$249.5M
A 2004-2005 facility assessment found that 56 percent of the
District's 70 facilities were at least 20 years old. Many of these aging
facilities received limited improvements from the 1995, 1998 or
2003 bonds.
The largest portion of the 2007 bond proposal is devoted to
facility equity and additions. This includes air conditioning installation
in all school gymnasiums, locker rooms and extra-curricular
areas; replacement of 96 portable classrooms with permanent additions;
athletic and fine arts additions and upgrades at 25 campuses;
North East Agriscience Magnet Program upgrades at Madison High
School; roofing projects at 11 campuses and the North East Police
facility; facility infrastructure improvements; kitchen facility upgrades
at 15 campuses; and restroom renovations in the MacArthur
High School band hall and auditorium area, as well as the Eisenhower
Middle School campus.
North East is preparing for the state's long-range educational technology plan by 2010 and state-mandated online testing, both of which the 2007 bond would address. Additionally, the District wants to improve school safety by purchasing further technology, such as security cameras for all of its campuses. The 2007 bond proposal would fund instructional technology such as classroom computers, teacher laptops, distance learning equipment, projectors, graphing calculators, etc. It would also finance technology infrastructure like security cameras for all elementary and middle schools, additional security cameras at high school campuses, networking upgrades, and software purchases and upgrades. Instructional technology bonds will be repaid in five years and infrastructure bonds will be repaid in 10 years to reflect the life of the purchased technology.
In five years, 172 buses out of a fleet of 372 will exceed 15 years of use. The District is also expecting a projected increase in enrollment of 14 percent by 2011 and possibly as many as eight new schools opening by 2012. These factors are considered in the 2007 bond proposal with the purchase of 130 new buses.
District Sports Facility–$27.8M
With Johnson High School opening in 2008, scheduling will become more difficult at Blossom Athletic Center. Games will have to be scheduled on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons, creating late school nights and hot September afternoons for players, band members, spirit groups, JROTC teams, parents and fans. Less than six percent of the 2007 bond package would fund the construction of a District football/soccer stadium with an eight-lane track. The facility would include seating for 10,000 spectators and parking for 2,500 vehicles. The bond package also includes design costs for a baseball stadium to be built under a future bond program.

Light wont work after changing switch
I was just replacing several switches (a three set ) and a plug in a bathroom this evening. The three switches were connected to two separate fuses. I made a basic mistake and one of the switches wasn't disconnected and I got a bit of a shock. I then switched it off at the fuse box, changed that switch and a few others and turned them all back on at the fuse box. Two of the swithces work fine but the light connected to the switch from which I got the shock won't work.
I've checked the fuse box and it all seems OK. The same fuse that connects the switch that won't work also connects several other lights in other rooms which are working fine.
Any ideas. I've check the power using and electricity meter on the switch and got a signal once but haven't got anything since. If the fuse isn't at fault, what else could be causing this problem
Bad bulb? Stranger things have happened ....
Check for GFCI in another bathroom, garage, outside receptacle etc.
No luck yet
Thanks KB and Joed. Bulbs are good and I checked all the GFCIs and non are tripped. Any other thoughts. Could it be a bad ground wire causing the problem
I would not expect a bad ground to affect power to the switch. Neither would I expect a bad neutral to affect power to the switch. This could, however, affect your ability to measure voltage (if you use a volt meter to measure voltage relative to a failed neutral, you may not get a reading). A bad ground should not cause your light to cease working, but a bad neutral would, even if you have power to the switch.
If you are confident that you do not have power at the switch, then the problem is between the switch and panel. This could include bad wire, bad connections, bad fuses, etc. If you measure a voltage at the fuse, then you have eliminate a bad fuse, and the problem must be "downstream".
Do you have an idea of the wiring of this circuit? Could the switch be getting power from the panel through other devices, such as outlets, other switches, etc.? Are any other devices on that circuit not working?
The fuse and every other outlet connected to it has power. If it is a problem with the neutral what can we do to fix it. Also, before I changed the switch the switch and light were working fine. What would have caused the neutral to fail.
Thank you
How do you know bulbs are good? Did you replace them?
did you replace the switches with the correct type of switch (SPST for SPST)?
Do you have a voltage tester? If so, check from a ground or neutral to each terminal screw on the switches. Test with the switch in both positions. In one position, you should have power to only one screw and in the other, power at both terminal screws.
With the switch that is having problems, If you don't have any power at all to the switch, you made poor joints in the wire going to the switch. If you have power at only one screw regardless of the position of the switch, you have a bad switch. If you have power at both screws and still no light, you have either a bad lamp or some broken wire or bad connection from there to the fixture.
Thanks nap,
Ive tried several bulbs so I dont think thats the problem. I also think the switch is the correct type.
I took your advice with the voltage meter and have power to one of the screws in one position and none of the screws in the other position. Ive tried three different switches though so Im not sure the switch is the problem either.
Any other ideas?
I ask because if by chance you are checking from terminal screw to terminal screw, that is what you should get.
a SPST switch is almost always marked on and off. Which way are you getting what reading?

Haley's chapter begins Wednesday
Summer is the perfect time for a good read, yet nobody seems to be getting one on new Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
A Bill Parcells protégé known for adapting his play-calling to his personnel and being an innovative play caller, he is also a volatile sideline presence who inspires loyalty from some players but irritates others.
He is certainly not Bruce Arians, who was not-so-gently shoved out the door in January despite quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's unwavering support. But, according to those who know Haley best, he also isn't a control freak who implements change just to show he's the boss.
While the Steelers generally shy away from coaches with colorful pasts, Haley has that and more, as evidenced by his well-publicized clashes with players and an abrupt departure as the Kansas City Chiefs' coach last year in which he reportedly suspected team offices and his cell phone were bugged.
Now, Haley's assimilation into the Steelers' way of life is the latest Mystery of Pittsburgh, a shadowy yet intriguing riddle that will begin to be solved when the Steelers — coming off successive 12-4 seasons — open camp Wednesday in Latrobe. It figures to be a can't-miss page turner.
"I've heard a lot of Todd stories — some good, some bad," said former Steelers star guard Alan Faneca, who played in Arizona after Haley was the offensive coordinator there. "He's definitely a hard worker and demands a lot. He can be very excitable during practice. But sometimes change is good, to get people out of their comfort zone."
That's already happened with Roethlisberger, who thrived in a Ben-friendly Arians offense that permitted him to improvise at will. Upon first glance at Haley's playbook, Roethlisberger jokingly called it a Rosetta Stone course in a brand new language.
"That (change) has a way of keeping guys on their toes and keeping their focus, understanding what their goal is, and that's to win Super Bowls," Haley said during minicamp last month. "Win one this year — that's our goal."
Haley, 45, is the first outsider in 13 years to run the offense. But he's no stranger to Pittsburgh or the Steelers; as a youngster in Upper St. Clair, he broke down game film with father Dick Haley, the former Steelers personnel chief who played a major role in some of the best drafts in NFL history in the 1970s.
Football not first love
Todd Haley's story isn't the sit-on-dad's-knee-and-become-a-football genius tale of Patriots coach Bill Belichick. In his teens, Haley shifted his emphasis to golf, playing in high school and at Florida and Miami in college.
The PGA, not the NFL, appeared to be his calling.
"But there never was a time he wasn't into football," said Dick Haley, who at 75 remains plugged into the NFL. "Because of some back problems, he got diverted into golf, but he always wanted to know about the players, about football. How many kids wouldn't want to after rooming next to Joe Greene at training camp?"
The elder Haley left the Steelers to become the Jets' personnel director in 1991 and, four years later, Todd was hired in the scouting department. Within two years, he was on Parcells' coaching staff.
"Todd is bright, demanding, persistent, and he came along pretty well," Parcells said.
Parcells didn't care Haley hadn't played football.
"I know guys who didn't play and did very well in coaching, and others who played that don't have a clue what to do," Parcells, a two-time Super Bowl-winning coach, said.
Haley was promoted to wide receivers coach in 1999 before switching to the Bears in 2001, only to rejoin Parcells in Dallas in 2004.
Haley's profile rose with his next job as the Arizona Cardinals' offensive coordinator from 2007-08. With quarterback Kurt Warner headlining an imaginative offense highlighted by former Pitt receiver Larry Fitzgerald's big plays, the Cardinals were second in passing and third in scoring in 2008. They went 9-7 during the season, but scored at least 30 points during three consecutive playoff wins and rallied from a 13-point deficit to nearly upset the Steelers in the Super Bowl.
That deep throw to Fitz-gerald that nearly sent the Steelers home a loser from Tampa? Haley's play call.
Haley was subsequently hired as the Chiefs coach by general manager Scott Pioli, the former Patriots executive who worked for the Jets when Haley did. But while Haley went from 4-12 in his first season in 2009 to 10-6 in 2010, finishing third in the coach of the year voting, he was fired with his injury-ruined team reeling with a 5-8 record on Dec. 12.
Stormy days in K.C.
Haley is derecho-like — always going straight ahead, in full-go mode, and in Kansas City, storm clouds often loomed on the horizon.
Chan Gailey, retained from Herm Edwards' staff to be the offensive coordinator, didn't make it through training camp. Larry Johnson, the two-time former 1,700-yard rusher, questioned Haley's coaching credentials in a Twitter message and was cut in 2009. And tight end Tony Moeaki was lost to a season-ending knee injury in the final 2011 exhibition game, when many NFL regulars rest.
"The quarterback (Matt Cassel) was real average. … It didn't surprise me what happened in Kansas City. I didn't have any real confidence in the whole thing," Dick Haley said.
After Todd Haley departed, the Kansas City Star published a devastating article in which a number of former team employees revealed what they called an intimidating, secretive and stifling work environment. According to the Star, Haley himself suspected bugging at the practice complex.
"I don't know what happened in Kansas City. I don't think it's relevant in Pittsburgh," Parcells said. "But he probably learned a lot there."
Tutoring Big Ben
Given Haley's sideline spats with Warner, Anquan Boldin, Terrell Owens and Cassel, his relationship with Roethlisberger should prove intriguing. Haley once said, "If you're sensitive, (the NFL) is not the best place to be."
"You accept people for what they are and get past the sensitivity level, if there is any," Parcells said. "Both guys are smart enough to say, 'Hey, we've got to make it work.' "
Torry Holt, a NFL Network analyst and former Rams star receiver, can't wait to see how this plays out.
"Coach Haley has a strong personality. Ben has a strong personality. I'm sure Todd wants him to hone in on this or hone in on that, and Ben will try," Holt said. "But out there on the football field, your instincts kick in and your competitive nature kicks in, and you kind of resort back to what you've always done."
Haley's take on Roethlisberger? "He's a guy that's been a really good player, and we're going to try to keep that going and get even better," he said.
Haley believes an offense must be physical, smart and disciplined, and his system resembles that of his former boss, Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt, a Steelers assistant from 2001-06.
"Todd Haley represents the best of both worlds," NFL Network analyst Jamie Dukes said. "With Kurt Warner, he threw it 45 times a game and didn't blink. In Kansas City, he ran it 45 times a game. He's got those three young wide receivers there in Pittsburgh, and Ben knows how to put the ball in the air. Todd will make the adjustments, and rather quickly."
While Haley is an assistant again after being a head coach, his father insists he has never been happier now that he's back home in Pittsburgh with his wife Chrissy and five children.
"He's loving every second of this," the elder Haley said. "He couldn't be more excited."
Dad Haley also realizes there is intense pressure to succeed as a high-profile coach in your hometown, even if former head coach Bill Cowher made it work.
"I don't question he'll do well. (But) there's a lot of pressure to live up to what's gone on there for a long time," Dick Haley said. "And he'd better be good because there's a lot of pressure on him right now."

Google knows a lot about you, but it doesn't know everything. It can guess at common human behaviors, like how you tend to email the same people over and over, and only give cursory glances to newsletters and updates. But it doesn't know that an email from a recruiter you would never expect to see could be the most important thing in your inbox.
Google has previously implemented Smart Labels to catch bulk-style mailings and app notifications, and Priority Inbox to learn which messages might be most important to you. Now, with an upcoming update to Gmail on desktops and mobile apps, Gmail is scaling back from "We know what you like" to "Here's everything we can't quite categorize, some of which may be important."
That is: there are still "Smart Labels," but they now exist as viewpoint tabs, mounted on the top of your inbox. You can look at all your Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums messages, or check out Primary to see what couldn't quite be categorized. It's an interesting step sideways, if not quite back, from pretty much everything else Google is aiming to do in the realm of predictive, contextual computing: Google Maps that know what kinds of routes and things you care about. Google voice searching that understands pronouns ("Where is Timothy's Coffee? How far is that from here?"). But it makes sense, because the stakes in email are a little bit higher than a flubbed search or a weird-looking map.
I haven't yet received access to the new labels on desktop or mobile Gmail, but from the look of things, it seems like a subtle step forward in email filtering, but a big design jump for Gmail. Gmail has always been about left-side controls that show you messages tagged/labeled in certain ways. To put "tabs" on the top of the inbox turns Gmail from less of a search-based tool and more of a traditional inbox, one slightly augmented by Google's algorithmic message categories.
