General InformationThe University
James Madison University is a public, comprehensive university and is the only university in America named for James Madison. The university offers programs on the bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels with its primary emphasis on the undergraduate student. JMU provides a total education to students - one that has a broad range of the liberal arts as its foundation and encompasses an extensive variety of professional and pre-professional programs, augmented by a multitude of learning experiences outside the classroom. The value and quality of the JMU experience has been recognized repeatedly in many national publications.
Mission Statement
We are a community committed to preparing students to be educated and enlightened citizens who lead productive and meaningful lives.
Since its establishment in 1908, James Madison University has grown from a small state normal and industrial school for women to today's coeducational comprehensive university with a fall 2007 enrollment of 17,918.
The university was founded in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, with Julian Ashby Burruss as its first president. The school opened its doors to its first student body in 1909 with an enrollment of 209 students and a faculty of 15. Its first 20 graduates received diplomas in 1911. In 1914, the name of the school was changed to the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg. The school received authorization to award bachelor's degrees in 1916. During this initial period of development, Burruss' administration established the campus plan and constructed six buildings.
After Burruss resigned in 1919, Dr. Samuel Page Duke became the second president. Duke's administration erected nine major buildings. In 1924, the university became the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg and continued under that name until 1938, when it was named Madison College in honor of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States. In 1946, the Duke administration admitted men as regular day students.
Following the retirement of Duke, Dr. G. Tyler Miller became the third president of the university in 1949 and remained until 1970. Miller's administration enlarged the campus by 240 acres and constructed 19 buildings. The administration also revamped the curriculum. In 1954, the expanding school received authority to grant master's degrees. The university became a coeducational institution in 1966.
Dr. Ronald E. Carrier became JMU's fourth president in 1971. His administration changed Madison College into a university. In 1977, the university adopted its current name, James Madison University. The Carrier administration nearly tripled the number of students and university faculty members and constructed some 30 major campus buildings. Doctoral degrees were authorized in 1994.
Dr. Linwood H. Rose was named JMU's fifth president in September 1998. Under his leadership, JMU has continually been recognized in national publications as one of the nation's finest institutions of its type. Before being named president, Rose had served as a member of the institution's administration for 23 years, including service as executive vice president and chief operating officer.Administration
The general responsibility for the administration of the university has been assigned to the president, who is appointed by the JMU Board of Visitors. When the board is in recess, its executive committee may exercise the power of the board.
Assisting the president in the administration of the university are the provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, the senior vice president for administration and finance, the senior vice president for student affairs and university planning, the senior vice president for university advancement, and the executive assistant to the president.
Appointment to these positions and to the university's instructional and administrative faculty are made by the JMU Board of Visitors upon the recommendation of the president.

[quote:Nine's:MV8yMDYwNDkxXzM0OTQ4MTIwX0NCQ0M4MkY=] [quote:jdb:MV8yMDYwNDkxXzM0Njc4ODQ1XzkzQUI2OEFD] [quote:Nine's:MV8yMDYwNDkxXzM0Njc1MTkzXzMyREQ1MDg2] Thanks for your answer, DGN. Maybe that's why it didn't register to me before. It just doesn't make sense to me, but I didn't mean to stir up a debate. JDB, I see what you're getting at, but the scriptures to the contrary makes me think that Jesus and God are not the same. Also based on the scriptures, I can see why you believe they are. Maybe I'm just one of those in the scripture DGN uses, about always learning but never coming to an accurate knowledge. Or, one that wasn't meant to know. Can't even understand that. Why He wouldn't want me to know. But, if He doesn't then there isn't much need to try until He wants me to. Guess that sums it up. I don't know. But, thank you both. [/quote] Hey Nine's - Thank you for your post! You hit on some profound issues that (respectfully) I'd like to try to answer. The very idea that God "…wouldn't want you to know" is absolutely anathema to what Scripture teaches us about God and His Holy Word! Jesus was very clear that he wanted "you" and everybody else to learn of Him! Mat 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." The following verses from 1 John are clear on us "knowing": 1Jn_5:13 I have written these things to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1Jn_5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true. And we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the everlasting life. So Nine's The Most High God clearly wants a "knowing" relationship with *you*! Regarding Who Jesus Is, is so critically important that it holds *eternal* consequences! Jesus *Is* God! To place your hope in any *other* (j) esus will bring eternal torment! The reality that "another" jesus is preached is in the spirit of antichrist and comes from Lucifer himself! Jesus is God: Tit 2:13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Joh 20:28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. (Self –Existent) Heb 1:8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. Rom 9:5 To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen. 1Jn 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." (Omnipresent) Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." (Omnipresent) Rev 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." (Omnipotent)… Nine's, Scripture is clear that Jesus Is God, and it is up to us to receive God as He has presented Himself and His Work…check this verse: Joh 8:24 Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I AM, you shall die in your sins. I would *truly* consider it a deep honor to enjoy the privledge of walking you through these issues Nine's if you desire to do so! If that is the case, I'd like to message my email address to you (you may already have it) and discuss that way! The idea that someone could pigeon hole you to a place like this: "…just one of those in the scripture…about always learning but never coming to an accurate knowledge. Or, one that wasn't meant to know…" doesn't ring true to me – we are *commanded* to *make* disciples…if you want to become a disciple of Jesus, He will in *NO WAY* cast you out! You *can* be a disciple if that's what you want! I'd encourage you with all my heart to choose to do so, for eternity (heaven or hell) hang in the balance! YES - hell is real! [/quote] JDB, thank you for your post. It touched me deeply that you cared enough to post those scriptures and offer your help. I've thought about it a lot. I didn't mean to make it sound like anyone pigeon holed me into thinking something, but my thoughtless writing did make it sound that way. It actually brought tears to my eyes to think I was wrong about that, that you cared enough to tell me I was wrong about it, and I do hope you're right. It bothered me a lot. I always HATED that verse, like some were special and could have knowledge but others were relegated to listening and wishing they too could earn the right to know. LOL. But it didn't make sense. You did pm me your email and I probably still have it. Thank you for your offer, but I'll keep reading, trying, and we'll preserve your sanity for now. Probably wording it poorly again, but thank you again. I appreciate it. It was encouraging and uplifting. [/quote]
Original Message
" "YOU must pray, then, this way:
"'Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. 11 Give us today our bread for this day; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.'
14 "For if YOU forgive men their trespasses, YOUR heavenly Father will also forgive YOU; 15 whereas if YOU do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will YOUR Father forgive YOUR trespasses.
16 "When YOU are fasting, stop becoming sad-faced like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Truly I say to YOU, They are having their reward in full. 17 But you, when fasting, grease your head and wash your face, 18 that you may appear to be fasting, not to men, but to your Father who is in secrecy; then your Father who is looking on in secrecy will repay you.
19 "Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 "The lamp of the body is the eye. If, then, your eye is simple, your whole body will be bright; 23 but if your eye is wicked, your whole body will be dark. If in reality the light that is in you is darkness, how great that darkness is!" Mt6:9

Annual Alternative Energy Market Survey
The Distributed Energy Financial Group LLC (DEFG) and Market Strategies Inc. (MSI) released, on Wednesday, the results of their Third Annual Alternative Energy Market Survey. This report is based on a online survey of 450 "industry leaders".
Unsurprisingly, survey participants remain very bullish on revenue growth in the sector, expecting aggregate revenues to grow by 87% in 2007. That growth, several agree, will continue to be driven in part by strong support by various levels of governments.
Some other interesting bits information from the survey:
- While energy is forecasted to continue being a main driver for industry growth, demand management and energy efficiency are now seen as appreciably contributing to that growth as well. This is because technologies such as smart metering provide tangible and immediate economic benefits to customers.
- Some good opportunities for growth now appear to lay with governments and the residential segment (see point above)
- Wind, solar and biofuels are forecasted to remain strong to 2012 - no big surprise here
- Tax credits are perceived to be the most powerful tool governments can use to foster expansion in alternative energy

Earlier in the year, there were several republican candidates that claimed that God had told them to run for president, such as Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain and Rick Perry. If God controls the election process and has the ultimate say in which candidate receives the nomination and wins the election, then the fact that he chose a Mormon candidate over a Protestant or Catholic Christian must mean something. What, exactly, is the meaning behind his choice? If I were a protestant or a Catholic, I'd be wondering about a few things right now, and asking myself the following questions:
1) Does God REALLY choose candidates or influence politics?
2) If he does choose candidates, does choosing Romney mean that he now prefers Mormons to Christians*?
3) If God does NOT choose candidates, then does that mean that Mitt Romney is the anti-Christ?
4) In the event that either #2 or #3 is true, then should I be ordering a copy of the Book of Mormon and begin the process of conversion to get a jump on the crowds?
How do Christians explain the fact that their God chose a Mormon candidate over evangelicals such as Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann or Herman Cain, or a pious Catholic such as Rick Santorum? For that matter, how do they explain the fact that God chose Barack Obama in the last election over John McCain and his evangelical bible-thumping partner, Sarah Palin?
* Many evangelicals and other Christians don't feel Mormons are "real" Christians

If the US wanted to take over the world, and decided to pre-emptive use nuclear missiles there wouldn't be that much left to take over really. Alot would be poluted for years to come. Most of Europe would be useless because of Russias nuclear arsenal, but also France.
And imagine the amount of food we could grow on uninhabited planets, no more starvation in Africa and other parts of the world.

When an anime about people playing a massively multiplayer online role-playing game becomes a hit success, what's next? The answer is a role-playing game about people playing a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The .hack series did just that so this decade's most popular anime franchise about players stuck in an MMORPG, Sword Art Online, would be leaving money on the table if it didn't follow suit. Unfortunately, unlike last decade's .hack games, Bandai Namco failed to fully grasp the golden opportunity they had with Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment. The end result is the disappointing fate of most games based on an anime: unmemorable and frustrating to play.
Sword Art Online originated as a Japanese light novel series written by Reki Kawahara and spawned a popular anime series in 2012, with a second season currently airing. The first story arc centered on gamers entering the titular MMORPG, which required an advanced headset named Nerve Gear that linked with the brains to simulate all five human senses. The world of SAO takes place on Aincrad, a floating castle in the sky, and is a fantastic experience until the players discovered they are unable to log-out. The game's creator, Akihiko Kayaba, appeared to inform everyone that they are trapped inside SAO and the only way to leave is by surviving all 100 floors of Aincrad. Additionally, if your Nerve Gear is tampered with or you perish in the game, you die in the real world. The story followed Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya, an experienced player, as he journeyed through SAO with a girl name Asuna, and then eventually defeated Kayaba Akihibo on the 75th floor, ending the game early.
Hollow Fragment delves into an alternate timeline by exploring what if SAO didn't let its players go after Kirito triumphed over Akihibo. With the players having settled comfortably into SAO over a two-year span up until this point in the story and no major enemy left, there isn't a whole lot of urgency among the characters to complete the game as they have all become very comfortable with living in Aincrad. That attitude transferred over to me as the player as I never felt any driving motivation to complete the remaining 25 floors other than to trigger dialogue between characters or progress through the dating simulator component, where Kirito can develop a relationship with one of the many female cast members. Overall though, Hollow Fragment's story comes across as being nothing more than fan fiction. Take for example that Kirito's cousin/adoptive sister Kirigaya shows up as Leafa, her avatar from the second story arc's MMORPG game named ALfheim Online, in Hollow Fragment. Why? Because siscons (Japanese slang for people with a little sister complex) also need a relationship route to shoot for I suppose.
Even more of a letdown is Hollow Fragment's gameplay due to its underwhelming, tiresome experience. One of the SAO anime's biggest strengths were the intense, well-directed action sequences. Kirito really felt powerful when he slashed through enemies in major battles and some fight scenes would leave you cheering for more. Instead, you may find yourself bored out of your mind during Hollow Fragment's slow-paced combat and campaign or confused on how to get started. Straight from the get-go, the game does a downright awful job teaching the player the different facets of its gameplay. A lot of the information is quickly conveyed in dense text thrown at you and the game doesn't design its early progression in a way that coerces you to mix combat up or try different tactics. A number of fellow gamers complained they do not understand what they are doing in Hollow Fragment.
Continued Overleaf...

text: Presidential Life Corporation ("Presidential Life" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PLFE) today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Presidential Life, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Presidential Life Insurance Company, is engaged in the sale of individual fixed deferred and immediate annuities, life insurance and accident and health insurance products. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $12.1 million or $0.41 per share, compared with net income of $24.2 million or $0.82 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Third quarter 2012 net income was $5.2 million or $0.18 per share, compared with net income of $2.9 million or $0.10 per share for the comparable quarter in 2011. Income before income taxes was $7.9 million and $4.4 million for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively, a period-over-period increase of $3.5 million. The growth in income before income taxes of $3.5 million is principally due to an increase in net realized gains of $2.1 million, a decrease in other-than-temporary-impairment losses ("OTTI") of $2.8 million and a net decrease in liability for future policy benefits of $2.1 million, partially offset by an increase in general expenses of $2.1 million and a decrease in net investment spread of $1.4 million. Income taxes were $2.8 million and $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $1.3 million. Total revenues in the third quarter of 2012 were $62.4 million, an increase of 14.1% or $7.7 million from $54.7 million in the third quarter 2011. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $179.5 million, a decrease of 7.4% or $14.3 million from $193.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in revenues of $7.7 million for the third quarter was principally attributable to the aforementioned increase in net realized investment gains of $2.1 million, lower OTTI losses of $2.8 million and higher annuity considerations.

The Utah Utes had to adjust to a new quarterback in their win against UNLV. Now comes a probable change on their offensive line.
Preseason all-conference center Zane Taylor is doubtful for Saturday's game at New Mexico after he injured his right knee late in Saturday's 38-10 win over the Rebels.
Sophomore starting right guard Tevita Stevens will start in Taylor's place if the senior can't play. Sophomore Sam Brenner would start at right guard.
Which quarterback will be getting the snaps is unknown, too, since starter Jordan Wynn remains questionable with a sprained thumb.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham is doing his best to brush off any worries over the unfamiliar lineup, praising backup quarterback Terrance Cain for his efforts in Saturday's win.
Cain was 13-of-20 for 207 yards in Saturday's conference opener, improving his record to 8-1 as a starter. Wynn is 4-2.
"Terrance Cain was particularly efficient," Whittingham said. "There were no picks and he quietly went about his business. He did a nice job managing the offense."
Both Cain and Wynn said they were comfortable taking snaps with Stevens, a former walk-on who started at right guard as a redshirt freshman.
"I'll be comfortable with him with the first snap," Cain said. "He is going to work hard and play hard. Nobody is worried about it. We all have confidence in everything we can do."
Nevertheless, the 6-foot-1, 290-pound Stevens will have some big expectations to live up to since the 6-2, 309-pound Taylor is a two-time all-MWC pick and is regarded as one of the team's strongest leaders.
"He is the quarterback on the offensive line, making all the calls," Wynn said. "The experience and leadership he brings, it's definitely huge."
As for his own availability, Wynn said he is "living in the training room," and doing all he can to return as soon as possible.
"I've been doing everything they've got in there and it has been working," he said. "There has been a tremendous difference between this week and last week but I have a ways to go, so we'll see."
Wynn had the best starting debut by a true Utah freshman against the Lobos last year, passing for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the Utes' 45-14 win.
If there is a time for Wynn to be hurt this season, now is ideal, since the Utes are in the easiest part of their schedule. After playing at New Mexico, the Utes host San Jose State then have a bye before traveling to Iowa State.
Wynn, predictably, never believes there is a good time for him to be sidelined.
"I'd cut it off to play," he said of his thumb.
Utes' possible starting O-line this week
Left tackle • John Cullen (6-5, 285, Jr.): Two big games for first-year tackle.
Left guard • Caleb Schlauderaff (6-4, 300, Sr.): Has won 101 of 112 plays for team-best grade of 90 percent.
Center • Tevita Stevens (6-1, 290, So.): Likely to start in place of injured Zane Taylor.
Right guard • Sam Brenner (6-3, 290, So.): Played mostly on special teams in 2009, never started.
Right tackle • Tony Bergstrom (6-6, 310, Jr.): Utah's play leader with 116.

The effect of nanosilica contents on mechanical properties of the epoxy matrix with some nanoparticle aggregations was studied in macroscopic experiments and nanoscale simulation, particularly with regard to the effective modulus and ultimate stress. Three analytical models were used to obtain the effective elastic modulus of nanoparticle-reinforced composites. Based on Monte-Carlo method, the special program for the automatic generation of 2D random distribution particles without overlapping was developed for nanocomposite modeling. Weight fractions of nanoparticles were converted to volume fractions, in order to coordinate the content unit in the simulation. In numerical analysis, the weak interface strengthening and toughening mechanism was adopted. Virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) and extended finite element method (XFEM) were used to simulate phenomena of nanoparticle debonding and matrix crack growth. Experimental and simulation results show a good agreement with each other. By way of simulation, the weak interface toughening and strengthening mechanism of nanocomposites is confirmed.
1. Introduction
Epoxy resin has been widely used in the aerospace field, as fiber-reinforced composite matrix and adhesive. Cured epoxy resin is a highly cross-linked polymer. However, the structure of thermosetting resin will lead to brittleness of the material, which determines the weak resistance to the fatigue loading.
To toughen epoxy resin, a common method is introducing particles in the resin, including liquid rubbers, thermoplastics, copolymers, silica nanoparticles, silicate layers, core shell particles, and combinations of these. The major toughening mechanisms involve rubber particle debonding/cavitation, localized shear banding of matrix as well as rubber particle bridging. Fracture toughness of rubber toughened epoxy resin will be improved obviously, while many other desirable properties, such as elastic modulus and failure strength, will decrease significantly [1]. In comparison, rigid nanofillers can improve the fracture toughness, stiffness, and even strength of epoxy resin [2–6].
Siddiqui et al. [7] added carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with the weight fraction ranging from 0 wt.% to 1 wt.% into epoxy matrix to form nanoparticulate-reinforced composites and found that tensile strength increased gradually, reaching the peak at 0.5 wt.%. Jingchao et al. [8] reported that adding silica nanoparticles in an epoxy had a significant effect on tensile properties of the modified epoxies. When it came to 3 wt.% of nanosilica, tensile strength reached the maximum. Huang et al. [9] indicated that tensile strength, elongation at break, and impact strength of SiO2/epoxy nanocomposites increased with the silica weight fraction at first, peaking at 2 wt.%. Bakar et al. [10] found that the addition of 2% montmorillonite or 5% polyamide resulted in the best improvement of the impact strength and the critical stress intensity factor relative to the unmodified epoxy resin. Carballeira and Haupert [11] obtained a fluctuant effect of the titanium dioxide content on tensile strength of nanocomposites.
Actually, the distribution of nanoparticles in matrix may be not so perfect. There will be some aggregations (see Figure 1). In this work, this factor was taken into account in modeling of simulation.
Recently, it is manifest that, the filler debonding and the subsequent void growth as well as the matrix shear band likely play the key roles in strengthening and toughening [12–17]. In the present work, virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) and extended finite element method (XFEM) were used to simulate phenomena of nanoparticle debonding and matrix crack growth. At the same time, a comparison of numerical and experimental data was carried out.
2. Experimental
2.1. Materials
Bisphenol A epoxy resin, E51 (epoxide equivalent weight: 188 g/eq, and viscosity at 25°C: 8000~14000 mPa·s), was used in this experiment. The average particle radius of spherical silica nanoparticles was 25 nm, with a specific surface area of 380 m2/g. Curing agent and accelerant adopted were phthalic anhydride and triethanolamine, respectively.
The silica nanoparticles were first mixed with the epoxy by means of a mechanical mixer, stirring at room temperature for 6 h, digital heating magnetic mixer at 80°C for 4 h, and ultrasonic cell crusher (JY98-IIIDN, 19.5–20.5 KHz and 1200 W) for 3 h. After that, the hardener (phthalic anhydride) and accelerant (triethanolamine) were added to the mixtures in a ratio of 100 : 50 and 100 : 3 by weight, respectively, while stirring slowly. The mixtures were then degassed in a vacuum oven (about −100 KPa) for about 30 min. Upon the completion of degassing, the vacuum was released and the liquid mixtures were heated, then cast into preheated specimen molds, and cured at 135°C for 3 h. Once the specimens were cooled and removed from the molds, they were milled using a surface grinder on both top and bottom surfaces to ensure flatness of specimens. As a baseline for comparison, specimens were also prepared for the cured neat epoxy.
2.2. Samples Preparation
Dumbbell tensile samples were made using a steel mold and both sides were polished by emery paper until all visible marks disappeared. Tensile tests were performed at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min at room temperature, according to GB/T 1040. The length, width, and thickness of dumbbell-shape tensile specimen are 150 mm, 20 mm, and 4 mm, respectively.
3. Experimental Results and Discussion
The tensile properties of epoxies strengthened by silica nanoparticles are comprehensively listed in Table 1, compared with pure epoxy resin. It can be seen from the table that the modulus of the nanocomposite improves with the increase of the nanofiller content, while tensile strength peaks at 5 wt.%. Maximum improvement of modulus is 34% at 7 wt.%, and failure stress improvement reaches the largest value, 78% at 5 wt.%. That is to say, optimal content of nanosilica for both maximum stress and modulus in this paper is approximately 5 wt%.
The fracture surface of neat epoxy is smooth, due to its nature of weak resistance to failure. Fracture surfaces of nanocomposites were examined by SEM to investigate the related strengthening mechanism. In case of epoxy/silica binary sample, the zone in Figure 2 shows not only an obviously rough surface, but also some "sea waves like" features. Compared with the known smooth fracture surface of neat epoxy, these rougher surfaces of nanocomposites, which can absorb more energy before tensile failure, may explain the highly improved tensile properties and the toughening and strengthening mechanism of the polymer matrix due to nanoparticles incorporation.
The expression of nanoparticle contents in the experiments is the weight fraction, while analytical formulation prediction and simulation in the following section will need volume fractions. Therefore, in order to facilitate comparison of results, the two particle content expressions should be unified. The conversion process is using electronic balance to obtain the total mass of a tensile specimen; according to the mass fraction of nanoparticles, calculating the total mass of nanofillers in a specimen; then calculating the total particle surface area, according to the specific surface area (m2/g) of nm SiO2; having known radius of the spherical particle, converting the total surface area to the total volume; according to the known size of the specimen, calculating the approximate volume of specimen; dividing the total volume of specimen by the total particle volume, to get the corresponding volume fraction of nanoparticles.
According to this conversion method, we can get corresponding volume fractions of nanoparticles. In this work, 1 wt.%, 3 wt.%, 5 wt.%, and 7 wt.%, corresponded to the volume fraction 2.39 vol.%, 7.16 vol.%, 11.93 vol.%, and 16.70 vol.%, respectively.
4. Prediction and Simulation by FEM
4.1. Prediction and Comparison with Test
Halpin and Tsai found that the modulus of particulate polymers can be predicted by the semiempirical relationship [18, 19]: where and are constants for a given composite. is a function of the particle shape and matrix Poisson ratio, and is related to the modulus of the particle () and matrix ().
Guth [20] added a particle interaction term in the Einstein equation which becomes where the linear term is the stiffening effect of individual particles, and the second power term is the contribution of particle interaction.
Counto [21] proposed a simple model for a two-phase particulate composite by assuming perfect bonding between filler and matrix. The composite modulus is given by
From comparison of effective modulus from analytical models with experimental results, as shown in Figure 3, it can be seen that, within the content of 12 vol.%, test results are in good agreement with these analytical formulation prediction, especially for Counto model. While the content is higher, there is a small amount of errors, which may be caused by some aggregations of nanoparticles, due to the high volume fraction.
4.2. Modeling Programming
Considering that nanoparticles cannot be uniformly distributed in the matrix completely, there will exist aggregation phenomena. Therefore, random location of nanoparticles should be taken into account in the simulation. As this is a two-dimensional analysis here, the distribution of nanoparticles can be selected from any cutting plane of the 3D model. As shown in Figure 4, there are numerous cutting planes in the three-dimensional model. Any cutting surface will intersect with particles inside 3D model. Since the position of the cutting surface is variable, and thus circle sizes of these particles intersected with the cutting plane will be different. Therefore, considering these situations above, nanoparticle sizes in 2D model in this study are randomly ranging from zero to the whole particle size. Because it is a random distribution problem, the location of the particles in the 2D model is also random.
In present work, python language is used for modeling programming to simulate the automatic generation of random distribution of nanoparticles in ABAQUS CAE Environment on the basis of Monte-Carlo method. Figure 5 shows programming for generation of representative volume element square (RVE).
In order to generate a random particle distribution RVE, a regular RVE should be presented firstly in this algorithm. Corresponding parameters such as , , and ( is the side length of RVE. is the volume fraction of particles and is the radius of a particle with the assumption of each particle having a circle section cross) and should be inputted before running the program. Secondly, centers of nanoparticle circles with random coordinate values inside RVE will be generated one by one until it comes to the last center, which is determined by the volume fraction of particles. After all centers are generated automatically, particle circles will be generated subsequently at the corresponding center with random sizes ranging from zero to the whole particle size. A random particle distribution RVE sample is shown in Figure 7.
There are some restrictions on particles center generation to avoid overlapping: (a) the minimum distance between particle centers with each other is the particle diameter (50 nm). (b) the minimum distance between particle centers and RVE boundaries is the particle radius (25 nm).
4.3. Tensile Simulation
The virtual crack closure technique (VCCT, Abaqus Analysis User's Manual 11.4.3) criterion is based on linear elastic fracture mechanics theory, so it can be applied to solve the problem of brittle crack propagation on predefined surfaces, to simulate the interfacial debonding.
In VCCT analysis, node combination technique is used to simulate crack propagation. When the crack propagation criteria, (4), are met, the node in the same location will be separated into two nodes, and the coupled degrees of freedom can be released: where is the equivalent strain energy release rate and is the critical strain energy release rate.
In this paper, simulation will focus on the weak interface toughening mechanism. As a result, interface debonding will occur, followed by crack failure.
The extended finite element method (XFEM, Abaqus Analysis User's Manual 10.6.1) is an effective method for discontinuous problems in mechanics whereby cracks and crack growth can be modeled by finite elements with no remeshing. By this method, a crack arbitrarily aligned within the mesh can be represented by means of enrichment functions, as shown in (5) and Figure 6. The first term on the right-hand side of (5) is the classical finite element (CFEM) approximation to determine the displacement field, while the second term is the enrichment function which takes into account the existence of any discontinuities such as a crack.
To model the crack, basic XFEM approximation is that considering , a point in a finite element model. Also assuming there is a discontinuity in the arbitrary domain discretized into some node finite elements (see Figure 6). In XFEM, the following is utilized to calculate the displacement for the point locating within the domain [22]: where and are finite element shape functions, is the vector of regular degrees of nodal freedom in the finite element method, is the added set of degrees of freedom to the standard finite element model, and is the discontinuous enrichment function defined for the set of nodes that the discontinuity has in its influence (support) domain.
4.4. Simulation Results and Discussion
In this simulation, Young's modulus and failure stress of neat epoxy were 3.06 GPa and 27 MPa, respectively, corresponding to parameters obtained in the previous section, while Young's modulus of 70 GPa [23] was adopted for nanosilica. The size of representative volume element square (RVE) selected here for modeling was 500 nm × 500 nm. Figure 7 shows RVE displacement-loading schematic. Tensile analysis in nanoscale was completed by using ABAQUS. Many scholars agree the weak interface toughening and strengthening mechanism, which is adopted in this paper, so the failure process of nanocomposites here is simulated by interface debonding at first and then matrix failure. Particle debonding and matrix crack failure were achieved by VCCT and XFEM, respectively. Interfaces, with zero thickness, debonded with respect to the energy criterion. Initiation and evolution of matrix failure used the maximum stress criterion and energy criterion, respectively.
The average modulus and failure stress values for different nanocomposites in simulation are shown in Table 2. Figure 8 gives nanocomposite failure diagrams and corresponding stress-strain curves for different particle contents. From stress-strain curves, we can see that there are some fluctuations for stress values during the elastic stage, and the situations of stress fluctuations are diverse. These may be caused by the random nanoparticles of different models and their debonding, and it may be one cause to explain the increasing strength of nanocomposites. Besides, particle debonding and crack growth, which will absorb energy during tensile simulation, may play key roles in toughening and strengthening. For investigating the interaction between nanoparticles and matrix under the tensile load, the nanoscale model is needed in the simulation, while the experimental data comes from the macrospecimen. Cross-scale models may cause a slight difference between macromechanics and micromechanics results, which may be acceptable. Although XFEM gives lower prediction than experiments, it can be seen from Figure 9 that test and simulation results are in good agreement with each other, and they have a similar trend. That is to say, the weak interface toughening and strengthening mechanism of nanocomposites is confirmed by way of simulation, and VCCT and XFEM are effective ways to simulate mechanical behavior of nanocomposites.
5. Conclusions
In this paper, mechanical properties of epoxy resins filled with different amounts of rigid silica nanoparticles were investigated. Simulation and test results had a similar trend. That was, with nanofiller content increasing, the tensile strength of nanocomposites increased at first, peaking at some content. After that, there was a declining trend. In addition, the weak interface toughening and strengthening mechanism of nanocomposites was confirmed by simulation (VCCT and XFEM). Therefore, to some extent, predicted results in simulation may reflect macroscopic mechanical properties, and simulation can become an effective method to predict the mechanical property trend of nanocomposites.
The optimal content of nanosilica in this paper was approximately 5 wt%. In the meanwhile, modulus of nanocomposites improved with the increase of the nanofiller content, due to the high modulus (70 GPa) of nanosilica. Within the content of 12 vol.%, test results of nanocomposites for modulus were in good agreement with these analytical formulation prediction especially for Counto model.

|EGEN18 Transparent Violet Flat (more images)
The EGEN18 is a E-Gen series solid body electric guitar model made by Ibanez. It is a signature model of guitarist Herman Li, known for his work primarily with the British power metal band DragonForce.
The EGEN18 was introduced in 2008 and is the first E-Gen series guitar model. It was originally called the EGEN1 but was renamed the following year. It is based on the S series but features a number of model specific features, including the Kung Fu Grip on the upper horn, the extended sculpting on the lower cutaway, and a full HSH set of DiMarzio Herman Li pickups with additional switching options.
A more affordable version was introduced in 2010 as the EGEN8. A new reddish finish named Dragon's Blood was added for 2016.
HLM pickups
The DiMarzio HLM pickups were designed to provide Herman's signature sound, with the interesting feature that the middle pickup has been wound with extremely high output. It was designed this way to allow it to be positioned almost flat against the face of the guitar but still retain balanced output relative to the neck and bridge humbuckers, facilitating easier picking without the risk of hitting the pickup.
The EGEN18 was one of the first guitars to feature the new Edge Zero tremolo system, and the second Ibanez S series full production guitar to feature a full 24 frets neck, after the introduction of the S5470 also in 2008.
One particularly interesting feature of the EGEN18 is an optional extra that must be specified by the retailer at the time of ordering. The EGEN18 is the first Ibanez guitar produced since the introduction of the Edge Pro to feature locking studs. Prior to the introduction of this model, locking studs were not available on any Ibanez guitars with tremolo systems other than the original Edge or Lo-Pro Edge.

Gas Flux of Minor Volatiles from the Inside of a Porous Comet Nucleus
J. Benkhoff (DLR)
Sublimation of minor gases (CO, , )
from ices inside of a porous comet nucleus may be important to explain
activity a larger heliocentric distances (>3 AU) and to understand
observationally results.
A new model to describe the gas flux inside the porous nucleus more accurately has been developed. We obtain a set of conservation equations for each of the different volatiles which are solved simultaneously under appropriate boundary conditions. As a result, one get the gas flux from volatile, icy components inside the porous nucleus, temperature profiles and changes in relative chemical abundances, porosity and pore size distribution as a function of depth, and the gas flux into the interior and into the atmosphere for each of the volatiles at various positions of the comet in its orbit. From the calculations we derive higher values of the gas flux into the interior and lower values of the gas flux into the atmosphere than from our previous models (Benkhoff and Huebner, ICARUS 114, 1995; Benkhoff and Huebner, Planet. Space Sci.44, 1996 ). Diurnal effects on the mixing ratio of minor gases to water depend on the structure of the body and the rotation period.

2012: Capture Your Grief: Day 21
Day 21. Altar/Shrine/Sacred Space Share a photo of your special place in your home/garden for your baby/ies/child/ren.
My thoughts: I don't know if I necessarily have a sacred place. Maybe their burial area will eventually feel that way to me. For now their ashes live here (they're box is behind the picture frame in this photo). I have my trio of candles and the peace lily from my grandma's funeral where I put the three little dragonfly garden decorations. I see them every day. I tried to hide this photo after the funeral but my daughter wouldn't let me put it in the box, "No mommy we need to see the babies!" It ripped my heart out at first. I dodged this area with my eyes every day. Now I look at it with pain but mixed with joy. I can look at their features instead of just the pain they represent in the hole in my heart. I pause here daily. They are beautiful and perfect in every way and I'm thankful for this place in my home – the center of my home. This is the first time I'm sharing their picture and I do it with slight hesitation. The world wide web is a dangerous place at times so I post this with prayers that this image is respected to every extent possible. I share it with hopes that people can see how perfect they are and love them with us. (We love you Alexis Marie, Elliot Nathan, and Alice Mae Wourms).
2012: Capture Your Grief: Day 20
Day 20. Charity/Organization Share your favourite charity or organization that has touched your heart on this road of grief. If you don't have a photograph to share, just simply post the link to their website!
My thoughts: I have two organizations that have meant the world to me. The first is called Threads of Love. This is the group who made the beautifully handmade, perfect little gowns and bonnets for my babies. They also each had a flannel blanket and a hand knit blanket. I don't know if those are from this group or if the nurses just added those for us. I can't even put into words what these things mean to us. They are all I have that they touched and wore. I've typed this sentence three times and I just can't put it into words. So I won't try. They are priceless to me and I struggled washing them. I'm thankful for the love and care my mom took washing and pressing them – and for my dad's phone call to remind me to ask for them from the funeral home. I plan to donate some of the money from the funeral to this organization. If you'd like to give as well there is a link on the site here. Please donate in their memory.
The second organization that has meant the world to me is CarlyMarie's Project Heal names in the sand. The woman who hosted this conversation/inspiration blessed me with each baby's name written in the sand at sunset and I cherish them as well. I made the print above for a canvas wrap and it's on my bedroom wall. I love seeing their names together.
SIX YEARS AGO TODAY: Post ectopic surgery. Another friend's wedding. Another bridesmaid dress taken out and still too small post-surgery. Thankful for the groom's father who ordered the ushers to help me throughout the day. I sat through most of the ceremony and reception.
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY = 7 weeks pregnant: Second ultrasound and meeting with the perinatologist. We refused selective reduction and she said this to us, "It would be terribly sad for you to lose these babies before 24 weeks (there's a 15-30% chance of natural miscarriage up to 24 weeks which is the point of possible survivability for babies), but if they were born between 24-28 weeks and survived, you'd have 3 very sick babies to take care of for the rest of your life. Not one sick baby. Three."
2012: Capture Your Grief: Day 19
Day 19. Project Have you worked on any projects inspired by your loss? They could be anything from an art project to organizing memory boxes for a hospital. If you have not yet done a project you could share something that you would like to work on.
My thoughts: Today I ordered three little lamb blankets and a willow tree ornament for a woman who delivered triplets at MAYO – and lost one of her baby girls. She had GBG triplets as I did. She delivered where I would have if we had made it one week longer. It just felt right to reach out. God's taught me to listen to those nudging words in my head and act instead of sitting on them. I pray it brings another grieving family peace and a moment of comfort. I want to do more but need to listen to my heart as we walk this instead of carrying a burden to do things that are still too hard for me. Someday.
2012: Capture Your Grief: Day 18
Day 18. Your Family Portrait Take a photo of you with your family, work out a way to incorporate your baby/ies/child/ren who are no longer physically with you anymore. You could hold up photos of them or even just hold their names with you. What does your family look like now? Is it just you left here? Do you have a large family? Is it just you and your partner?
My thoughts: This picture was taken right after the funeral. I wanted a picture of our family that day even though it felt wrong to smile at this moment. I wanted to find joy for Nora that day. She is a reminder of all that we are thankful for in the gifts God has given us even in the midst of such pain. One little lamb for each of them.
2012: Capture Your Grief: Day 17
Day 17. Anniversary/Birthday/Due Dates Share a photo of what you did for your baby/ies/child/rens special day. Did you hide away in bed? Did you have a cake? Did you have a party? What did you do?
My thoughts: Their due date, June 8th, was a hard day for me this year but not as I expected it to be at all. We had thought about burying them this day but it just didn't evolve that way and looking back I'm ok with that. Instead I was in Rochester, MN at my brother's house enjoying the summer sun with family. Nate wasn't able to join me so it felt a little odd that day. We filled the day with fun in the water and my daughter, Nora, had SO much fun chasing bubbles. How could a day be sad watching that crazy, little girl? I'm happy I have a picture of pure joy from that day. I went to bed alone that night. A few months after we lost our babies I was feeling panicked about losing the few memories that I had of them. I still feel that way. I asked the family and friends who met them those two days to write a letter to me sharing their memories. To somehow help me put a patchwork of memories together to amount to something MORE than what I could recall. To help me replace the horrible memories I was shoving away with the ways that my children affected others. My mom gave me her letter that day and I read it before bed and cried myself to sleep. Not "ugly crying" as I like to call it. Just silent tears missing them trying to imagine what my children would have looked like at full term. I'm thankful for her memories and the sweet poem that she wrote for them (I love you mom):
Hide and Seek in Heaven
By Jane Neveau
After the three new little ones came
Jesus said, "Who wants to play a game?"
"I do", "I do", they were far from meek
"I'll count" he said, "you hide and I'll seek."
Alice Mae ran for the choir loft
She loved to feel the robes so soft
Alexis was off to the director's stand
She could hide behind and still wave her hand
Elliot loved the drums lively beat
It's so easy to hide by the base drummer's feet
Hiding and playing, they lost track of time
Until midst the music, came His call sublime,
"Beloved ——— Beloved ———-!"
"All-e, All-e….. all in Free!!!!"
I love you….. From Grama Jane
2012: Capture Your Grief: Day 16
Day 16. Release Balloons, lanterns, butterflies, doves.
My thoughts: Last weekend we celebrated my nephew's birthday. Last year at this time we shared the news of our trio with my side of the family so living that anniversary was tough. That said we successfully lived the day with joy for my not-so-little-anymore eleven year old nephew. We spent that evening talking with my parents and siblings about a burial plot that we'd chosen for ourselves and the possibility of all of us sharing the area with one monument stone. Tough conversations to have, but we did it. The next day we drove everyone to the little slice of land in the beautiful cemetery we chose. The kids all fed the ducks (and WOW how those little guys have grown! Take a look at the awesome shot below of them all flying across the pond. What a site!) Then we made our way to the burial area and I took out some special friends – the little lambs from their funeral. I dressed them in the little winter hats that my niece and nephew made for the babies. Their little smiles warm my heart. My sis-in-laws picked up balloons for the day (one for each of the babies we've lost – yellow for the first two, pink for Alice and Alexis, blue for Elliot – which worked out perfectly as each child there got one to hold/release). I grabbed my camera to capture the moment and struggled with words. I didn't want to say it. I choked out the words to let them fly and the battery on my camera died. Of course it did. I snapped two pictures and then felt defeated. I didn't feel like I could enjoy the moment because of the stupid camera. But then I looked up at the balloons as they were drifting further away (how did they get so far away so fast?) and we all sort of held our breath as we noticed one of the pink balloons was caught in the branches of a nearby tree. The kids were upset. So I sat and stared at it. I just let myself look at it there with all the others barely in view on the horizon. It stayed. It let me breathe and just BE. The tears hit – hard. My daughter ran up to me asking why everyone was so sad. And then my brother yelled, "There it goes!" – and the last little pink balloon was set free from the branches and I watched it float away 'til it disappeared from site. Somehow we were blessed with an extension of a moment that otherwise would have been gone too soon. One little balloon.

Visual merchandising is at the heart of retail design -- the fine art of persuasion. Window dressing is now only a small part of display and visual merchandising, which encompasses the in-store 3D environment, graphics, audiovisual media and point-of-purchase material -- all the way to the store as total embodiment of the brand. From an icicle window display made of resin to bespoke acid-colored glass shelving; from one small figurine as a display to actors playing football in "live windows," visual merchandising is always breaking new molds in style, lighting and use of materials. By contrasting different international approaches to visual merchandising, this industry insider's view reveals the disparate ways in which retailers chase and stimulate that elusive X-factor that pushes customers towards a purchase: Retail Desire

I can chime in, ports that are blocked will not fill up the state table.
All it does it generate a ton of firewall log entries for the "denied"
port. What I would do is go ahead and generate a "block all" rule that
is disabled. That way if you find an IP in the connection log causing
problems, you can just add it to the list and at least stop the problem
temporary by enabling the rule. I've had to do this a few times due to
virus laden machines. It will quiet them at least until you can get
physical access to the machine causing the issue.
Another thing, may be a bit more complicated. If you have to allow a lot
of traffic out, use the traffic shaper to setup pipes for certain port
ranges. That way, say port 80 is allowed the full bandwidth available,
but all other port above 1024 for example are limited to 128K Upload,
etc. That way, those that play games or P2P share won't be able to hog
all the bandwidth that the business people need to check e-mail, web
surf, etc.
M0n0wall certainly gives you a lot of options to tinker with that could

I used to think Republicans were a monochromatic monolith specializing in Group Think, though without the Think part. The Republicans' reaction to the reelection of Barack Obama, however, has shown a surprising diversity in GOP thought. At least five distinct -approaches have emerged.
The Vince Lombardi Republicans. Political parties exist to win, this group says. If you don't win, you can't enact your agenda, can't protect your values, can't advance your cause. The Lombardi Republicans are pragmatic. They saw President Obama win 72 percent of the Latino vote—the fastest-growing segment of the -electorate—and they had a "Ven a Jesús" moment. Right-wing radio and TV personality Sean Hannity, who used to assail even the modest DREAM Act as "amnesty," now supports a more comprehensive—and dare I say, -liberal—immigration policy. Since the election, Speaker John Boehner has looked with favor on passing immigration reform, and GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is reportedly working with N.Y. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer to fashion an immigration compromise.

Ryanair said the laws were designed to impose French laws on foreign airlines with planes based in France.
The decree breaks European laws on free movement of labour and services and aims to discourage foreign airlines from setting up in France, it said.
The Irish firm has also petitioned the European Commission over the laws.
Ryanair hopes to persuade Brussels to overturn the French decree.
"Ryanair has filed a legal action in the French Conseil d'Etat requesting it to overturn this unlawful and anticompetitive labour decree," said Jim Callaghan, Ryanair's head of regulatory affairs.
"This decree is clearly designed to discourage foreign airlines from establishing a base of operations in France in order to compete with the high fare monopoly, Air France," he added.
Ryanair runs services to and from 18 French airports.
