Basic Nanostructured Catalysts
Publication Date4/13/04
Read full article onlineFull Article
Solid bases catalyze a wide variety of chemical transformations (e.g., condensations, alkylations, cyclizations, and isomerizations). However, compared with their solid acid analogues, they have received relatively little attention from the industrial and academic communities. The search for novel solid bases that catalyze reactions with high product selectivity, high reaction rate, and low deactivation rate is an ongoing process. The following text describes current research trends in the design and utilization of nanostructured solid bases composed mainly of supported metals and metal oxides.

Apple rumour mill followers: stop obsessing over how many pins will be in the new dock connector of the iPhone 5, where the microphone will be located, and how much bigger the screen will be and prepare to laugh at yourself.
On Monday, New York comedian Adam Sacks uploaded a video to YouTube with the tantalising title "LEAKED Official Apple iPhone 5 Promo Video- Keynote 2012".
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it is. The video is not real, but that doesn't mean it's not funny.
And it isn't just the Apple rumour people who Sacks is skewering — it's also those banes of our modern existence — the people who won't stop taking pictures of the food they eat and posting them to Facebook and Twitter and other social media sites.
"Before designing the iPhone 5, we studied how customers use their iPhones and we discovered something interesting: people only use iPhones to take pictures of their food," says a young man in the video identified as a vice president of design for Apple. "They are sad and alone and so they use pictures of food to create an illusion of a fulfilling life."
Then he debuts the iPhone 5, which looks like a camera, not a phone. He gives some stats and then adds: "These pictures look so good that nobody would ever imagine you lie awake at night wondering why you can't feel happiness."
The VP also adds that Siri has been redesigned too. Her primary purpose? To put fun captions on your food photos.
"Chickpea salad. Nom, nom, nom. I am happy."

I want to thank Marty Gad for persecuting the Catholic Church in her letter of Oct. 25th. Jesus tells us when we are persecuted for His sake we will be blessed. Thank you for allowing God to bless His church. Paul (Saul) likewise persecuted the church before he was knocked off his horse, after which he had a conversion.
In Romans 1:18-32, Paul writes about humanity without Christ and enlightens us as to the consequences. God's holy word is clear as to the sanctity of unborn life, sanctity of marriage, sanctity of the family, sanctity of marital relations, sanctity of the poor and oppressed, sanctity of the aged and widows. The Catholic Church is still a strong advocate and guardian here on earth for them.
In Exodus 20 God gave the 10 commandments to all mankind. Yet God continues to allow us to enjoy all the freedoms of the world – all the civil rights, liberties and amenities we love, with the exception of 10 straightforward commandments. The fourth rule tells us to honor our father and honor our mother, not honor mommy and mom or not honor daddy and dad. The words from God are honor your father and honor your mother. God's word is truth, the whole truth. So instead of remaining neutral or standing up for tolerance, or standing up for secularism. How about standing up for God? We must preserve what God has put in place for His creation when He created the world. God's commandments haven't changed, we have.
Marriage between a man and a woman is essential to the well-being of the future generations in God's world. That's not mean spirited, it's obedience.
We should not be swayed by TV ads or guilt-ridden persuasive ideology of "tolerance." As Catholics our identity is in Jesus Christ and His Church first not a Democrat or Republican. Standing up for God must be our goal. We should not leave our Christianity outside when we go in to vote.

First, let me be very clear: Flex 2.0 does NOT support templates. But this article will show you a way to make it look and act as if it does.
A "template" is different from a custom component. A template typically specifies a number of parts with some of the areas left open for substitution. I think of templates as being done exclusively in MXML whereas components can be 100% ActionScript or a combination of AS and MXML. Dreamweaver has the ability to do templates using regions.
Note: An example is available for download at the end of the article.
Panel Template
Suppose you want to create a Panel with a certain look and use it frequently in your application. Perhaps the Panel has a ControlBar with a "Search" and "Help" button. You want to make sure the Panel has the ControlBar and Buttons all of the time, but you want to change the contents of the Panel. A template, called SearchPanel.mxml, to do this might look like:
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx="...." layout="absolute"> <mx:Metadata> [Event("search")] [Event("help")] </mx:Metedata> <!-- put children here --> <mx:ControlBar> <mx:Button label="Search" click="dispatchEvent(new Event('search'))" /> <mx:Button label="Help" click="dispatchEvent(new Event('help'))" /> </mx:ControlBar> </mx:Panel>
To use this you might do:
<SearchPanel title="Employee Search" search="findEmployees()"> <mx:Form left="10" top="10" right="10" bottom="10"> ... form items here ... </mx:Form> </SearchPanel>
If you were to write this in Flex today, you would get a compilation error saying that SearchPanel already had children. You cannot add more children from outside of the component. If you had written SearchPanel without the ControlBar, then this would work. But then every SearchPanel would not automatically have a ControlBar.
One solution is to write this as a custom component which creates the ControlBar and Buttons in ActionScript. I won't do that here because I have a much better way to do it.
Making the 'Template'
Let's go back to SearchPanel and keep it the same, except add in this Script block:
<mx:Script> <[[CDATA private var _components:Array; public function set subComponents( a:Array ) : void { _components = a; } private function addComponents() : void removeAllChildren(); for(var i:int=0; i < _components.length; i++) { addChild( _components[i] ); } } ]]> </mx:Script>
and modify the root tag: <mx:Panel xmlns:mx="…." layout="absolute" creationComplete="addComponents()">
Now use this in your program:
<SearchPanel title="Employee Search" search="findEmployees()"> <subComponents> <mx:Form left="10" top="10" right="10" bottom="10"> ... form items here </mx:Form> </subComponents> </SearchPanel>
Notice that the Form, and any other children you want to add to the Panel, are defined by the <subComponent> property. In the Script block for the SearchPanel, subComponents is a set method which takes an Array. This Array will be 1 or more components defined in MXML. In this example, that Array is the <mx:Form>. Notice that the simple loop just takes each element of the Array and adds it to the Panel.
Now you have a "template"!
Default Property
But wait – there's more. This is the really cool part. Go back into SearchPanel.mxml and add the following line to the <mx:Metadata> right after [Event("help")]:
Now change the main program just slightly by removing the <subComponents> tag:
<SearchPanel title="Employee Search" search="findEmployees()"> <mx:Form left="10" top="10" right="10" bottom="10"> ... form items here </mx:Form> </SearchPanel>
Notice that <subComponents> is gone and this now looks like a real container. This works because of the DefaultProperty metadata. You've set the SearchPanel's default property name to be "subComponents" which automatically places the <mx:Form> into the subComponent array.
While real templates are not available in Flex 2.0 you can come mighty close to making it look as though they are. This is possible because of the way components are now created in Flex 2.0 (using the new operator) and the DefaultProperty metadata.
Download Example
This example is similar to the one described above. Here, the component is a Panel wrapped by a Canvas. This is done so that minimize and maximize buttons can float over the Panel's title bar.

"Choking Powder" is actually a term applied to a number of different powders of various intensities (normal, improved, greater, and perfected). These powders are made from herbs that cause uncontrollable coughing fits. Each pouch of choking powder can create a small stinking cloud that will last for 5 rounds, but the intensity of each varies according to its strength - the greater the powder's strength, the more difficult it is for an opponent to resist. The cloud forces anyone within it to make a Fortitude saving throw or become dazed.

REDLANDS - Redlands East Valley's boys basketball season has officially come down to the wire.
The Wildcats have to win their final two games - today's at Eisenhower and Thursday's against visiting Cajon - to win the Citrus Belt League title.
A split of these games and the Wildcats will be forced to share the CBL.
If disaster strikes and REV loses both games, then the Wildcats' season is over.
"A lot can happen over the next few days," REV coach Bill Berich said. "You play 25 games and then it all comes down to the last four days. It's exciting but it has come down to this."
And the last thing Berich would want is for the league title, a share of it or even the season, to come down to Thursday's game. It's REV's Senior Night.
"I would hate for it all to come down to Thursday," Berich said. "You can go from a league championship to being out of the playoffs."
REV heads into today's game atop the CBL standings. The Wildcats (18-7, 6-2) are in first, just above Cajon (17-8, 5-3) and Eisenhower (10-13, 5-3). Miller (10-14, 5-3) is still in the picture as well.
"We have to win both to win it outright," Berich said. "If we win (against Eisenhower), it would make life much more manageable. That way, we would go in on Thursday and play the Senior Game and hopefully win it outright. That would be my first choice."
REV's first round encounter with Eisenhower was one to forget. The Wildcats struggled with their shooting and Eisenhower's physical play and athleticism won out.
"We have to shoot better," Berich said. "We need to win our share of scraps. Eisenhower is very physical."
REV, however, has won four straight since the 70-45 loss to Eisenhower. The Eagles, however, followed their win over REV by going 2-2 in league play (losing to Cajon and Miller, defeating Redlands and Yucaipa).
But Eisenhower heads into today's game off a solid nonleague effort against highly touted Mater Dei (78-63).
"They beat us by 25 and I saw they lost to Mater Dei by only 15," Berich said. "This will not be easy. Eisenhower can do the match. If they lose, they are out of it."
And there is the added attention Eisenhower has been attracting since its coach, Steve Johnson, was the victim of a shooting.
"After that happened, they beat us in a real emotional game," Berich said. "Then they lost to Cajon, which is a good team."
The three CBL losses are uncharacteristic for Eisenhower, which opened the season with a 45-game league win streak.
"It isn't the Eisenhower of old," Berich said. "They are very good but not quite the Eisenhower teams of the last five or six years. They are very good but not unbeatable."

Written on: 17/12/2012
Hi there. .Did your package arrive damaged in the post? I'm sorry about this. Especially annoying for us as the courier/post company have now caused us to get bad feedback.
We'd certainly like to rectify for you. Please do get in contact with your details and perhaps we could exchange the item over for you? Or send you out some new packaging or something?
Many thanks

64 / 'southern
Perhaps because of Methodism's
progressive tradition, Birmingham-
Southern was always suspected of
liberalism on the race issue. But
as Birmingham's watershed year of
1963 approached, it was a very timid
liberalism, indeed.
Dr. Henry King Stanford, the popular
president who had stood up to "Bull"
Connor and urged BSC trustees to
integrate, departed for the University
of Miami in 1962. Birmingham
police records show that Connor was
successful in convincing the interim
administrators to suppress activities
among students influenced by Dr.
Stanford's racial views. Police detective
Marcus Jones spied on students. It was
partly through his confidential written
reports to Connor that the late Marti
Turnipseed's participation in civil
rights rallies was made known to BSC
officials and she was promptly exiled
from the campus by administrators
led by Dr. J. Ralph Jolly, the longtime
dean of men. So the policy of
intimidation worked to the extent
that her courage and independence
did not infect the rest of us enrolled
at the college at that time. Her story
is told elsewhere in this issue, and
the college's overdue recognition of
her religiously-motivated idealism is
all to the good. Surely some lasting
campus memorial to her is in order,
including a prominent display of her
posthumously published memoir,
Here Am I ...
BSC could also emulate
the examples of the universities of
Alabama and Georgia in honoring
their civil rights heroes on their web
Why was Marti so alone? Why
did I and approximately 1,000 other
students fail to join the righteous social
revolution that swept Birmingham and
America in May of 1963? Speaking for
myself, the reason was cowardice. I
was among scores, indeed, hundreds
of students who thought George
Wallace was a buffoon and the violent
attacks on Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. and his demonstrators were both
unchristian and unconstitutional.
More than any decision of my college
years, I regret my obedient decision
to keep my mouth shut and to stay
on campus, as ordered. But I know
that I cannot blame my failure on the
college administrators—chiefly Dr.
Jolly and our erudite dean, Dr. Cecil
Abernethy—who threatened us with
expulsion. As Dean Abernethy said
at convocation, the college was acting
in loco parentis
to preserve our safety.
Most students realized instantly that
the college was copping out on its
classroom ideals, but it was entirely
our own fault that we did not defy our
deans in the cause of justice.
Why was I so fearful? Why was my
story of passivity in the face of an
obviously evil polity repeated millions
of times by millions of white citizens
across the Deep South in those days?
Principally, we were frozen by physical
fear of being beaten or bombed by
the white thugs who represented us in
the eyes of America. Sociologically,
Why was Marti so alone?
by Howell Raines '64
we feared ostracism, and not just by
our college. Whites who supported
integration were expelled by their
families, or in the case of ministers
like Marti's father, sent north. Our
fears were reality-based, particularly
in light of the tumultuous events that
played out after the demonstrations in
May. It took armed National Guards
to frustrate Wallace's "Stand in the
Schoolhouse Door" on June 11, 1963.
Then came the unthinkable—the
murder of four Sunday school students
at 16th Street Baptist Church on
September 15, 1963.
That was the turning point for
educated white Southerners, of
course. Gradually, the "good South"
began to find its voice. But how
very late we were and how easily
we could have been a glorious
part of history! In preparing this
reminiscence, I calculated the distance
from our Hilltop to the site of the
demonstrations—barely more than a
mile. We could have been eyewitnesses
even if lacking the boldness of
character to join the marchers. We
had been brushed at close quarters
by history's coat-tails and lacked even
the intellectual curiosity to ride them
toward the action.
In late May of 1963, I wrote the
opening essay to the
Southern Accent
recording life on our campus in 1963-
64. The essay contains a few lines that
show, I hope, a groping toward an
honest recognition of the momentous
nature of the crusade declined to join.
"Remember, long after you've forgotten
your spring quarter grade point average
or S.G.A. elections or who you dated
that spring, that 10 blocks from you,
America changed." All of us have
benefited from that change, but few on
the Hilltop helped in its birth.

Soul Is Rested

civil rights movement, and is former

Open daily from 10:00 to 17:45
Open Friday from 10:00 to 22:00
This was the last project of my second year as a mature student at PETROC, Barnstaple, rendered in powdered inks using a lightbox and a technique I like to call 'lucky splatting'.
The inspiration came on a wet afternoon on the beach after my labrador, Daisy, had once again managed to both disgrace herself and embarass her owners. I began to wonder if it was just us or if all dog owners had these problems? This was to be a proper set of life rules for proper dogs, not accessories.
I love to watch people's reactions to the Rules of Paw. Those who have dogs can immediately identify with it. And those who don't thank their lucky stars...

Graduate Theological Union
The Gift Always Comes Back
In 2008-2009:
The GTU still needs
Harold Leach
"I understood that the GTU is more
The GTU welcomes Harold (Hal) Leach as Chair of the GTU Board of Trustees. Leach has served on the GTU Board since 2005. He is Chief Operating Officer of Performant Financial Corporation in Livermore and also the president of DCS, Inc., one of Performant's subsidiaries. The companies focus on business process outsourcing and workflow management technology in the accounts receivables management industry.
Leach learned about the GTU from Alan Kelchner, Leach's minister at Danville Congregational Church, and a current GTU Board member and alumnus. "When I heard from Alan about the GTU mission, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to be a part of," Leach says. "People feel so strongly about religion, and they don't always agree. The GTU encourages the dialogue that helps understanding, and understanding can be the root of peace in the world."
"When I attended my first commencement at the GTU, I was amazed by the faculty, students, courses of study, and diversity. I understood that the GTU is more than a school; we teach people to serve in the world."
"GTU is well worth my time and money. Giving to the GTU President's Circle, our leadership giving club, is a priority for me, as well as hosting events and writing letters to introduce potential donors to the wonderful work of the GTU. My hope is for our Board to be active in raising and giving funds as well, serving as a strong model to the community. Our donors play a critical role in allowing the GTU to carry out its mission, and I know that the gift always comes back."
Leach says that in his 27 years at Performant he's seen many economic peaks and valleys. He shares his wisdom: "I see transition as an opportunity. Timing is everything, and we'll be seizing the opportunities as they arise."

Last February 05, 2012, I, M and her cousin, had a chance to visit the Tierra Alta Resorts and Resicendes that is overlooking Dumaguete City even though the weather was gloomy and had some few rain showers. But it didn't stopped us to really step the place.
Tierra Alta Resorts and Residences — Overlooking Dumaguete City, indeed one can see the city of Dumaguete is located almost between borders of high terrains of Dumaguete City and Valencia, Negros, Oriental.
I am not pretty sure how high above sea level Tierra Alta Resorts and Residences is, but sure thing to see the beauty of Dumaguete City. However, during our visit, since the weather didn't dance with us, we have hard time and couldn't even appreciate the real beauty of nature because of the cloudy sky and very slippery steep road. Tierra Alta Resorts and Residences is best visited during summer season or any days that has fine weather.
There were also other nature-adventures that is supposed to be exciting to do in the resorts, but as I've said, the weather was so bad that we could only do site-seeing and a few picture-taking.

Night/Weekend Call
The Galena Area Emergency Medical Service District is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit, volunteer, ILS emergency response ambulance service organized in 1978. Currently, we serve nine townships and three municipalities centered around historic Galena, Illinois.
Our facility is located on the campus of the Galena-Stauss Senior Center. The original facility was built in 1985. An addition in 1999 added a training lab, two offices, storage, two sleeping rooms with private baths, a staff lounge and a third ambulance bay.
Our ambulances are built by MedTech on Ford 450 chassis. Left to right above 1-Adam-20 is a 2009, 1-Adam-18 is a 1998 and 1-Adam-17 is a 2003. The vehicles are equipped with Phillips HeartStart MRx ALS Monitors capable of transmitting 12 lead ECGs and measuring a patient's oxygen saturation, blood pressure and pulse. We also have IV warmers, Doppler stethoscopes and computer aided charting/reporting on board. We host the server that transmits the 12 lead ECGs to various the hospital for four ambulance services in Jo Daviess County. In 2015 we responded to 561 calls, treating 595 patients. Additionally, we performed 33 standbys at public events and 5 firefighter rehabilitation standbys. We provide emergency transport to the Midwest Medical Center in Galena as well as Finley Hospital and Mercy Medical Center in Dubuque, Iowa.
Our greatest resource however, is our personnel. Our volunteer men and women come from all walks of life and education. Their expertise covers the range of drivers through paramedics. We make every effort to provide each member with the latest and most up to date training.
We are associated with both the Rockford Health System in cooperation with Finley Hospital and the Mercy-Dubuque Health System. These systems provide our protocols, training lectures, and printed materials used to maintain our ILS level of proficiency.

I want to start a discussion about sex. And no, this isn't a discussion about vibrators, sexually transmitted diseases, protection, virgin, mother or whore, or fake orgasm (although that is somewhat related). No, this is a discussion about sexual satisfaction. Why is it that in the age of sexual liberation, Sex and the City stereotypes, clitoral stimulation contraception, and vulva, it's still not appropriate to tell a man: "You're not sexually satisfying me", without being labelled a bitch.
I'm not being aggressive or offensive, I don't want to intentionally injure anyone, or cause lifelong emotional scarring, I'm simply trying to provide you with constructive criticism for improvement.
For the past ten years I've been in a relationship with an unsatisfying lover. My (former) husband would relentlessly complain about our sex life being, put simply, not enough. And often I thought to myself: "Well, perhaps, if you spent a little more time pleasuring me rather than just yourself, our sexual interactions might increase". But not once did I tell my ex-husband my frustration.
And I know what you're thinking: "Maybe you're the lazy one who refused to commit the effort to satisfy yourself", but, you're unequivocally, unabashedly, undeniably wrong! Sister, I've been there and done that! I've spoken dirty, dressed-up, role played, toys, tied up and been tied up, I've bought an enormous amount of ridiculously expensive lingerie, surprised my ex-husband with mid-afternoon sex, discussed back-door antics (thanks, but, no thanks), and twisted my body into every possible pretzel shape imaginable.
Chocolate sauce and whipped cream during foreplay made sex sticky and gross (I also had to wash the sheets afterwards, not exactly a turn-on). My ex-husband said that I hit too hard for S&M! And random locations (outdoors, indoors, public places, car, shower, spa bath, etc.) simply made my ex-husband rush, and left me blushing at every in-law dinner party as I remembered my face mashed into the parquet dining room table.
In ten years of a loving, tender, and somewhat dysfunctional relationship, I had one orgasm! One! ONE!
When I finally left my husband (for a variety of reasons, not entirely excluding my sexual frustration), I thought my sexual revolution would begin. I imagined myself swinging from the ceiling screaming the name of Christ in vain, undertaking dramatic sexual yoga breathing for a climax without touch, or, at the very least, a dinner date followed by a few scented candles and some good old-fashioned romance. But, no! I thought my ex-husband had become lazy and confident in our relationship, which was why he no longer made an effort to please me. But emerging from the cocoon of marriage, I've discovered that men are simply not interested in stimulating a woman. And it's not appropriate to complain!
I'm sure that there could be any number of reasons why the men I've slept with haven't provided an orgasm: we weren't 'in love', they weren't 'the one', there wasn't enough foreplay, they were too young, or too old, that 'one' was just bad, but I think that the truth of this issue is that as women, we simply don't feel comfortable providing feedback either before, during or after the act. And don't you think we should?
It's so easy to know when a man has succumbed to 'the pressure', but a woman is much more difficult. And we're not helping things by being so convincingly fake. But why are we faking our orgasm? I ask you, do you honestly believe that a fake orgasm will be of any true benefit to your relationship? Will it increase either your or your partner's happiness?
No, I don't believe it will. But, you know what might? An honest conversation with your reluctant, lazy, and unsatisfactory lover about how to improve their bedroom prowess.
Elaine Benes (Seinfeld) once asked: Are you sponge-worthy? And I'm bringing this question back from the dead. Because in a loving, sharing, wonderful relationship sex should be satisfactory for both partners. We should feel comfortable demanding a mutually pleasing experience, and the only way we will ever be able to enjoy sex is if we're open and honest about our needs and desires. And not just with our long-term partners, do a girl a favour and tell that one-night-stand that a finger in the butt without prior approval is not appropriate!
In my humble opinion, Sex and the City and the recent invasion of female promiscuity into our culture has created both positive and negative preconceptions about sex. The media would lead me to believe that every woman on the planet is having the most incredible, earth-shattering, outrageous sexual encounters at every possible opportunity. But I'm not. And I can't believe I'm alone. Am I?
I think we've finally embraced the cultural revolution of the female orgasm, but we haven't quite worked out how to make it happen, yet. We need a conversation. An honest and open conversation, which will enable women to feel comfortable expressing their desires, and men will not feel affronted by comments about technique.
And in the name of honesty, let's get this conversation started: Gentlemen, no, you grinding on my breasts for half-an-hour is not a pleasurable experience for me, but I'll do it, to make you happy, if, in return you're willing to suckle on my neck for the same amount of time! Yes, size does matter, but technique is more important. If you can't unhook my bra without looking, and with one hand, then I have to doubt your other skills (practice, people, practice). And finally, gentlemen: if you're not willing to act on my feedback to improve your overall performance, don't expect a repeat, because you won't be invited back.
Have you ever been in a relationship like the author's?

The desired outcome for this initiative is to reach as many companies as possible to share: a beginning understanding of what nanotechnology is and the immense opportunities that nanotechnology offers, the current and forecasted impact of nanotechnology upon the marketplace, and to make them aware of the nanotechnologist worker pool available to them through the NMT Partnership. Please contact Bob Ehrmann at 814-865-7558 ( ) or Darlene Fink at 814-863-2955 ( ) for additional information.
NMT Partnership Educational Outreach Initiative: Again, in collaboration with area NMT Partners, a series of Educational Outreach Meetings were held during the Fall of 2007 at NMT Partner facilities across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These outreach opportunities will continue during the spring of 2008. The objective of this initiative is to introduce nanotechnology and the nanotechnology education program available through NMT Partnership to as many students as possible at NMT Partner institutions. Please contact Bob Ehrmann at 814-865-7558 ( ) or Darlene Fink at 814-863-2955 ( ) for additional information.
CNEU Program Highlights for September - December 2007
NMT Partnership Career Day: An NMT Partnership Career Day was held on October 30, 2007. Representatives from Advantech, Cosmos Technologies, Cyoptics, Fairchild, Keystone Nano, Plextronics, and Veeco were featured. Each company presented an overview of their organization, its' mission, and how it is tied to nanotechnology to an audience of fifty prospective, current, and former NMT students. The annual NMT Career Day is a great way for students to refresh knowledge, update their skills, get in touch with former classmates, and network with Pennsylvania nanotechnology companies. A large number of resumes were submitted to the represented companies for employment consideration and substantial time was allotted for student and company representative networking / interviewing. CNEU personnel also held cleanroom tours and training sessions on new AFM techniques and our latest piece of equipment the Atomate LPCVD for nanowire growth.
November 2007 - Hands-On Nanofabrication Workshop for Educators: The latest offering of this three-day workshop was held November 13-15, 2007 with 28 participants in attendance. The participants learned about the growing applications of nanotechnology in many industries including the biotechnology, MEMs, optoelectronics, chemical and electronics industries. The basics of nanotechnology processes and tools were covered and practiced through a combination of classroom lectures and hands-on processing labs in the Penn State Nanofab and the CNEU educational cleanrooms. Six of the workshop participants were non-Pennsylvanians (Arkansas, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, and Ohio) representing secondary and post-secondary institutions in those states. The workshop was well received by the participants in attendance. The next workshop in this continuing series will be held May 13-15, 2008.
Educational Outreach Initiative Highlights: CNEU personnel (Amy Brunner and Bill Mahoney) visited 24 NMT Partner sites, met with NMT Partner representatives, and held information forums to a collective audience of 699 educators, administrators and potential capstone attendees, during the months of October and November 2007.

Best Of :: La Vida
Arizona's recent laws concerning immigration certainly have made some people think twice about visiting our state. And now we have finally reached the stage where we can automate the process of scaring visitors away.The AVATAR, or Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real-Time, is a machine that looks like an ATM as envisioned by Kafka. AVATAR has two screens: One projects the head of an ethnically neutral male and the second features a touchscreen that lets users interact with the machine. Behind the scenes, it has a suite of sensors that measure respiration rate, skin temperature, pupil dilation, and a host of other factors. Using the data it collects screening border crossers, AVATAR should be able to flag suspicious behavior for further investigation by flesh and blood border agents. Conveniently, AVATAR is bilingual and capable of recognizing and understanding normal human speech. The upshot of AVATAR is that, theoretically, the machine is an objective judge of suspicious actions and thus impervious to politically uncomfortable charges of racial profiling. This system currently is being field-tested at the busy Nogales border crossing, so make your travel plans accordingly.
Ah, the bowling alley snack bar — a place that's never, ever as good as you want it to be. Especially at those corporate houses that dominate the kegling landscape. The pizza is always prefab junk, and the deep-fried goodies rarely are any better. That's why this family-run eatery at Sunnyslope's independently owned Let It Roll Bowl is a breath of fresh air. Reasonably priced standards such as tacos, burritos, and enchiladas are available, as are regional specialties like molotes (deep-fried fritters stuffed with potato and chorizo) and tlayuda (think: Mexican pizza). Menu entrees include black or (very good) red mole, stuffed chiles, gorditas, and green or red ribs. None of it costs more than $8 and all of it tastes pretty darn good. And if you feel your bowling experience simply isn't complete without a pizza or hot dog, well, they've got that American stuff, too.
We're not sure exactly how the idea for fast Mexican/Chinese food came about ("Hey, you put your chimichanga in my sweet and sour sauce!") but we're glad it happened — and it's a Valley original. With two locations, you can indulge in a Chino Bandido fix whether you're in the East Valley or on the west side. Either way, you'd better not skip the jade chicken, a deep-fried, bright-red treat that feels like dessert for dinner. Pair it with carnitas or carne asada burros and jerk rice with pork. Just be sure to leave room for (we know this sounds odd, but bear with us) a fresh-baked Snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. Fusion at its finest.
Chef Matt Carter's sophisticated, intimate spot serving modern Latin cuisine in Scottsdale might mean shaking the piggy bank for some extra coin, but the culinary journey is worth it. Mixing French cooking techniques with influences from Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, Carter's dishes are intensely flavorful and expertly prepared. Start with a stellar smoked pork pozole, or shared plates of duck carnitas empanada and smoked pork shoulder tacos in hand-pressed corn tortillas, then move on to exceptional grilled entrees like the chimichurri hanger steak and Chilean salmon. The tequila, cocktail, and wine lists are as impressive as the cuisine — especially when sipped by a flickering outdoor fire or inside amid chandeliers, ornate mirrors, and the restaurant's glowing wall of Himalayan salt blocks.
The abundance of Sonoran-style Mexican eateries is plainly clear in the Valley. But finding comida oaxaqueña, Oaxacan food from southwestern Mexico, takes a bit more work. Thank the dynamic duo of Oaxacan Pablo Lopez and Chilean-born Dan Maldonado for bringing their bare-bones taco shop to north Central Phoenix — where the food's served up street-style, fast and flavorful, and at jaw-droppingly low prices. Start with the $1 street tacos, filled with tender lengua or luscious pork al pastor, then move on to the mighty fish taco (possibly one of the best in the Valley), or the crazy-tasty tlayuda, likened to a Mexican pizza featuring a dinner-plate-size thin, crunchy tortilla slathered with a bean spread. And with nothing on the menu over $8, there's room in the budget to splurge on a heavenly sweet cup of homemade Mexican horchata.
To those in the know (and that's more and more all the time), this award probably comes as little surprise, because this is one of downtown's true gems. There's no signage to speak of, there's no place to sit inside, the menu is tiny, it's open for only a couple of hours a day, and it takes only cash. Sounds like a real pain in the ass, huh? Well, maybe, but the line out the door at lunchtime indicates that it's worth it. Serving only red or green chili burritos (and their deep-fried counterparts, chimichangas), this hole-in-the-wall does basically just one thing and does it better than almost anybody else. The green chili, with its tender chunks of pork and wonderfully deep flavor, is our favorite in town, even though it can be kind of a mess (seriously, it takes some practice eating these things, but that's part of the fun). And the red chili, spicy and bold with bites of beef, is a winner, too. Of course, they're both wrapped in fresh tortillas, and you can have cheese and/or beans added to the mix, as well. Next time you're downtown during lunchtime, do yourself a favor and pop in.

(written from a Production point of view)
D. Hands (or Diverse Hands) was a pseudonym used at Marvel Comics to simply refer to a collection of artists that worked on an issue in some small part, but didn't receive full credit for it. The first usage at Marvel was in July 1978 on The Avengers, and continued on every so often through to the late 1980s. It was used on their Star Trek run in one issue, #13: "All the Infinite Ways".

In exchange for cutting as many as 10 years from his 24-year sentence, Skilling will drop his bid for a new trial and end litigation over his conviction, in which a jury found he spearheaded a fraud of as much as $US40 billion that in 2001 destroyed the world's largest energy trader and caused the biggest US bankruptcy at the time.
"The proposed agreement will bring certain finality to a long painful process, although the recommended sentence for Jeff would still be more than double that of any other Enron defendant, all of whom have long been out of prison," said his lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli. "Jeff will at least get the chance to get back a meaningful part of his life."
Skilling, 59, has served more than six years of his 2006 sentence for fraud, conspiracy and insider trading. A 2011 appellate ruling effectively lopped nine years off his sentence, according to court records.
With the potential benefit of two years off for good behaviour and another year off for participation in a drug treatment program, Skilling could be released in 2017 or early 2018, according to his lawyer and the agreement, which was revealed in a filing in federal court in Houston.
Skilling will be resentenced on June 21 in Houston, where Enron victims will be given a chance to speak out on the deal.
"This agreement ensures that Mr Skilling will be appropriately punished for his crimes and that victims will finally receive the restitution they deserve," Peter Carr, a spokesman for the Justice Department's criminal division, said in a statement.
Skilling entered prison in December 2006, following roughly six weeks of home confinement.
Prosecutors won a forfeiture of more than $US40 million of Skilling's assets at trial, which have been held in reserve while the former executive continued to appeal his conviction, according to the filing.
In dropping his bid for a new trial and any further appeals, Skilling agreed not to challenge the forfeiture order, which will immediately free up the funds for distribution to Enron victims.
"Today's agreement will put an end to the legal battles surrounding this case," Mr Carr said.
"Mr Skilling will no longer be permitted to challenge his conviction for one of the most notorious frauds in American history, and victims of his crime will finally receive the more than $40 million in restitution they are owed."
After a 16-week trial, a Houston jury convicted Skilling alongside Kenneth Lay, Enron's former chairman, for conspiring to use off-books partnerships to manipulate the company's finances and mislead investors about the company's true financial condition. Lay died before he could appeal, and his conviction was erased.
More than 5000 jobs and $US1 billion in employee retirement funds were wiped out when Enron plunged into bankruptcy in December 2001. Investors sued to recover more than $US40 billion in market losses.

Read an Excerpt
Rock Dempsey loved Sunset Island.
He loved the way the small island off the Georgia coast lay tossed like a woman's dainty slipper near the mainland. He loved the way the island sat at the mouth of the Savannah River, the land caught between a glistening oval-shaped bay and the ever-churning Atlantic Ocean. He loved having the sunrise to the east over the sea, and the sunset to the west over the bay.
As he stood in the middle of his workshop, with the ocean breezes coming through the thrown-open doors from the ocean on one side and the bay on the other, Rock decided a man couldn't ask for much more in life.
Unless that man was pushing thirty-five and his whimsical mother was still asking him when he was going to settle down and produce a passel of grandchildren for her to spoil.
"Roderick, I could die and go to heaven without even a memory of a sweet baby to carry home with me," his mother, Eloise, had told him in a gentle huff just that morning when he'd stopped by for breakfast.
They had this same conversation at least once a week. It was never a good sign when his mother used his given name in a discussion. But then, his brothers Stone and Clay had to hear it from Eloise, too, each time they came to visit.
In her mid-fifties and long widowed, Eloise Dempsey kept close tabs on her three sons, properly named Roderick, Stanton and Clayton, but affectionately nicknamed Rock, Stone and Clay. She fretted that none of them had yet to make a lifetime commitment to one woman. If Rock blamed their artistic mother and her flighty ways for her sons' obvious fear of commitment, he'd never say that out loud to Eloise. She'd had enough heartache in her life, between being disinherited and then losing the man she had loved—and had given up that inheritance to be with—to the sea in a terrible storm. Even if she had sacrificed quality time with her sons to become one of the most famous sculpture artists in the South, Rock was trying very hard to come to terms with his lovable mother's flaws. And his own.
Rock reminded himself that Eloise was trying, now that she'd found success with her art, to make things up to her children. Still, the memories of eating TV dinners and going to bed tired after watching over his two younger brothers always left a bad taste in Rock's mouth.
Growing up, he'd often dreamed of a traditional family, with a mom and dad who were devoted to family and children, with good, home-cooked meals and nights spent together watching a movie or sharing a supper out on the shore. Rock and his brothers had missed out on those things. While their mother pursued her art, they had had to find odd jobs here and there to make ends meet. The islanders had been kind and watchful, and Eloise had continued her work, unaware and undisturbed, while her children had the run of the land.
If he closed his eyes, he could still hear the hiss of her welding torch, late into the night. The glare had always been too bright for Rock, but the sound of it never went away. If he looked north toward what the islanders called the Ankle Curve, he could just make out the turret of the rambling Victorian beach house where his mother had lived and worked for so many years. He could still see her there, in the big barn settled deep in the moss-covered trees that she used as a studio, bent over yet another bust shaped from clay or an aged cross forged from wood and stone. His mother's hands had created beauty.
But he'd missed those same hands tucking him in at night.
Not wanting to dwell on his mother's shortcomings—or his own in the love department, for that matter—Rock turned back to the cabinets he'd been restoring for Miss McPherson. Now, there was an available single woman. She was in church every Sunday, tithed regularly, cooked everything from Brunswick stew to clam chowder and had a smile that lit up a room. Too bad she was pushing eighty.
"One day I'm going to get up the courage to ask Miss Mac why she never married," Rock said to the gleaming oak cabinet door he'd just finished vanishing.
"Do you often talk to your cabinets?" a soft feminine voice said from the open shed doors.
Rock turned to find a petite, auburn-haired woman staring at him, her green eyes slanted and questioning, a slight smile on her angular face. He stood there like a big dummy while she walked into the quiet cool of his work shed, her crisp white cotton shirt and polished tan trousers giving her an air of sophistication.
Coming out of his fog, Rock grabbed a wipe rag and ran it over his hands. "I'm afraid I do tend to talk to my creations. A bad habit." Tossing the rag aside, he leaned back on the long, dented work table. "What can I do for you?"
She pushed at a wave of burnished hair that kept falling over her chin. "I'm Ana Hanson. I just moved into the Harper house—soon to be Ana's Tea Room and Art Gallery."
"Oh." Trying to hide his surprise, Rock pushed off the table to extend a hand. "My mother told me about you."
And had urged him to get to know the single newcomer to the tiny island a little better. "Ana will be lonely, Rock. Invite her to church, at least. Just as a way to break the ice."
"Well, don't look so glum," the woman said, her head tilting in defense. "Did I come at a bad time?"
Despite his mother's very obvious suggestion echoing through his head, Rock tried to stick to the here and now. He felt horrible at the way he'd sounded. "No, no. It's just—I had expected—I thought you'd be older, more like my Mother's other eccentric friends." Feeling more foolish with each word, he quickly added, "Mom said you needed some new cabinets?"
Ana nodded through an amused smile, causing the same silky length of curls to fall right back across her face. "Yes. As you probably know, the Harper house needed major renovations. Some of the preliminary work in the upstairs apartment has been done, thanks to my sister—she's a Realtor and has all kinds of connections with carpenters and contractors out of Savannah—but I wanted someone local and more accessible to help me renovate the kitchen and main dining area."
"And that'd be me?" Rock grinned, glad that at least his mother's bragging often brought him new customers.
"You come highly recommended," Ana said as she ran a hand over a newly restored pie safe. "That's one reason I waited before finishing this part of the project. Your mother suggested we might work together on this—that you'd understand… what I expected…as far as cabinets and bookshelves go."
"That's just my mother talking," Rock responded, noting that the floral scent of Ana Hanson's perfume managed to find its way to his nose over the smell of sawdust and varnish stripper. "She thinks I inherited some of her artistic ability."
"I'd have to agree with Eloise," Ana replied, an appreciative expression on her face as her gaze moved over the many cabinets, armoires and chests Rock had either built from scratch or restored. "She seems to be a good judge of talent."
"How do you know my mother?" he asked, curious as to how Ana had found her way to Sunset Island.
"I worked at an art gallery in Savannah," Ana explained. "We exhibited some of your mother's work. I got to know her when we held a reception in her honor."
"Ah, that explains it, then," Rock said, turning to put away his tools. "My mother's reputation precedes all of us."
"You sound almost ambivalent about that."
He whirled to find Ana's luminous green eyes on him.
"It's a long story, but yes, I guess it still surprises me that she's so famous."
"She has a lot of talent."
"Yes, she does. I can't argue with that." He shrugged, brushed wood chips off the sleeve of his T-shirt. "Look, I love and respect my mother. And her designs are beautiful. But she works too hard—she's almost obsessed with it."
"Most good artists are that way, don't you think?"
Rock studied her for a minute, wondering if this cute woman was just like his mother. Would Ana Hanson put work above all else in her life? Probably, since she seemed anxious to make her tea room a success. "I guess you're right. And since you worked in an art gallery, you probably appreciate art more than I do. So why don't we stick to a subject I know best—cabinets. What do you have in mind?"
Ana had a lot of things in mind, but she didn't think Rock Dempsey wanted to hear about her hopes and dreams for this business venture. Should she tell him she'd had to sell practically everything she owned to make the down payment on the Harper house? Should she explain to him that, since college, her dream had been to own some sort of gallery? Should she go into detail about how her sister, Tara, had suggested Ana use her talent for cooking along with her good eye for art to come to Sunset Island and open a combination tea room and art gallery?
Ana watched as Rock busied himself with cleaning his workspace. He seemed on edge, resistant to her. Maybe because his mother had sent her to him. Did Rock think Eloise was up to more than just securing him another paying customer? Well, Ana could certainly nip that little concept right in the bud. She didn't have time for matchmaking, even if Eloise meant well.
Ana had to get her tea room ready for the grand opening in a few weeks. And that opening depended on how quickly Rock Dempsey could help her.
"I have several ideas," she said in answer to his earlier question. "I want to build some cabinets and buffets in keeping with the Victorian flavor of the house. It was built around the turn of the last century."
"I'm familiar with the history of the Harper house," he said, smiling. "It's been vacant on and off over the years. When we were little, my brothers and I used to sneak in there at night, mostly to scare each other and see who would be the bravest by going into a dark, deserted house."
Ana decided Rock Dempsey seemed the type to brave any situation. He was the standard tall, dark and handsome, with fire-flashing deep blue eyes. But his face had an interesting aged look that spoke of wisdom and gentleness, the same tanned richness of the priceless wooden furniture he worked hard to restore. Did Rock need a bit of restoration himself, maybe?
"So, who was the bravest?" she asked.
He shrugged, grinned. "Well, none of us was very brave. I think I managed to sneak in a back window once, but, of course, Stone and Clay decided to come around front and jiggle the door, shouting 'Police,' which naturally made me run away in terror—terror that my mother would ground me for life, rather than fear of authority."
Ana started thumbing through a design book. "Sounds as if you and your brothers had an exciting life growing up."
"We had our moments," he said. "We've always been close—or…we were growing up. I guess we've drifted apart lately, though."
"That's too bad," Ana replied, thinking of the tenuous relationship she had with her sister Tara. Tara was hard to read at times, a type-A personality with a lightning temper and bitter memories. Ana harbored some of that same bitterness, directed toward her sister at times, toward herself at others. But she didn't want to think about that right now. She had to get back to work.
"So, anyway, I thought you might come by the house later today, if possible, to look at the kitchen and dining room. It's been completely overhauled—painted, new flooring, but I held off on the final plans. I want it to be perfect."
Rock handed her several more design books.
"Okay, then. Why don't you glance over these—there are several Victorian reproductions and some original restoration projects in there—and I'll meet you at the house, say, around four?"
"That would be good. I have some errands to run, but I should be back in plenty of time." She extended a hand. "Thanks… Rod—"
"It's Rock," he said, wincing. "My mother's choice of given names for her sons has left us the laughingstock of the island, I'm afraid."
"I like your name," Ana said, acutely aware of the strength and warmth of his big callused hand.
"Well, around here, everyone calls me Rock," he said. "Or… Preacher Rock."
Ana jerked her hand back. "You're a preacher?"
"Just on Sundays," he said, a teasing light making his dark eyes go as blue as the ocean at night. "I got the job by being in the right place at the wrong time, or something like that."
"You're going to have to explain."
He walked with her out into the oak-shadowed yard, then pointed to the tiny whitewashed church sitting like a child's playhouse a few yards away from his cottage and workshop. "Reverend Palc-zynski was the island preacher for over forty years. He lived in this cottage, preached every Sunday in the Sunset Chapel. Then one day he came out to the workshop to get his volleyball equipment—he loved to play volleyball—and fell over dead right underneath this great live oak. He was ninety."

The bond market is often considered a much more stable and senior partner to the stock markets. For example, I have seen claims the bond market is twice the size.
So I took a look at an 80+ year history of treasury yields and inflation numbers. Ideally, since a 10-year Treasury is a risk-free asset, you would expect its yield to mainly vary according to future inflation expectations.
When you look at the history however, the error in the bond market's predictions seem quite large! The graph below shows a comparison of 10-year treasury yields against annualized future inflation over the next 10 years, followed by a graph directly showing the error between the two (it's the same data, the latter is just subtracting the red line from the blue in the first graph).
You can see that the treasuries have gone through cycles of over- and under-predicting inflation. The second graph shows this behavior best. Most recently, since the mid-1970s, long treasuries have paid much better than inflation, although the gap shrinks all the way to the last points in 2003 (the last time at which we know the future 10 years of inflation).
An additional factor to consider is that long treasury rates have never, to my knowledge, been manipulated in the way that the US government is manipulating them today. So if anything, the error where the treasuries have been paying much higher than future inflation in the past ~30 years is more likely to swing the other way by the time we can draw points for the graph at 2011, 2012, or 2013.
The only conclusion I can reach from this analysis is to stay away from long government bonds, which includes ETFs like TLT, IEF, ZROZ, etc.
