Introductory division problems:
From the end of 5th grade Investigations
From the beginning of 5th grade Singapore Math
For left-brainers and kin: thoughts on education, left-brainedness, autism, and right-brain biases.
Introductory division problems:
From the end of 5th grade Investigations
From the beginning of 5th grade Singapore Math
Boy, I must be dense - how are the "two ways" indicated by Investigations supposed to help anyone, let alone a 5th grader, solve those division exercises? Seems way too obtuse, in my opinion. And they're concerned about turning kids off to math? Looks like they've found a way to do precisely that.
Errr, ahhhh..... what?!?!
That's just bizarre. On being presented with something like "2000/42" I'm not going to try to start thinking of weird intermediary numbers like 840. The only way you would get to 840 as a number is if you first multiplied 42 *10, and then doubled the result.
My son is in 5th using enVisionMATH, so I looked at his online textbook. Chapter 5: Dividing by 2-Digit Divisors progresses from mental math, using compatible numbers ot estimate, 1 digit quotient using multiples of 10 as divisors, 2-digit quotients where you first must estimate using compatible numbers. Finally we get to using a 4-digit dividend and a 2-digit divisor and they say "estimate first. Then use a calculator to solve." That's it - no more division in the book contents. So the hardest problem I see is: 4328/93 (there was one other like this).
I just wanted to say thank you for summing up all of the concerns I have had about reform math. I would love for you to evaluate/consider higher levels of text books. For example, what alternatives are there to CPM Algebra 1. My very left-brain child is using this text as a 7th grader and for the first time in her academic life is confused about her math work. We recently had to hire a tutor. She aced pre-algebra (traditional text) and was math bowl captain as a 6th grader. Our district is reviewing math text books for the next series and I am concerned about the possibility of more CPM.

Merged Allegheny Valley, Armstrong, StrongLand chambers to take name Alle Kiski Strong Chamber
When the Allegheny Valley, Armstrong and StrongLand chambers of commerce agreed to merge into a single regional entity, the organization wanted a name to reflect its increased geographic scope and influence.
The regional chamber released that name on Monday, announcing that it will be known henceforth as the Alle Kiski Strong Chamber.
With more than 770 projected members across an area that encompasses Armstrong County and most of Allegheny, Butler and Westmoreland counties, the "Strong" part of the nomenclature might prove apropos.
Frank Amato Jr., the chamber's recently elected chairman, said the regionalization will afford businesses more opportunities to network and amass clientele across a broader area. Its larger membership also will provide the regional chamber additional leverage to lobby local, state and federal lawmakers.
"Everyone is really excited about what the merger means for the businesses," Amato said. "It provides flexibility to move things around and broaden our horizons with access to new events in different markets."
Amato, a financial adviser with Amato Financial Services in Leechburg, anticipates the chamber to be fully operational by year's end, pending IRS approval of its 501(c)(6) tax-exempt status. The 15-member board, which was elected last month and is equally representational of the three pre-existing chambers, has sought legal counsel to ensure that status is granted by Jan. 1.
In the meantime, the board's been busy as the Allegheny Valley, Armstrong and StrongLand chambers adjust to the merger.
Alle Kiski Strong Chamber Secretary Chad McCutcheon said the group on Monday invited students from each high school, technical school and post-secondary institution in its area to participate in the chamber's logo design contest. Participating artists will have until Sept. 27 to design the regional chamber's official emblem.
Information detailing the chamber's criteria and guidelines for the logo was given to participating schools, but McCutcheon said the group wants the image to center on the Allegheny and Kiski rivers — the most prominent features shared by the old chambers' geography.
"It's going to be great for the chamber and the students," McCutcheon said. "It will be a solid résumé booster for the winner, and it's going to give them some real world graphic design experience."
The contest winner will get a $100 Visa gift card and a certificate of appreciation. McCutcheon said the winner must be willing to revise the image to fully encompass the organization's geographic scope under regionalization.
Since the StrongLand chamber's steering committee pitched the merger almost two years ago, the three chambers have opened their local events to one another's members as a precursor to the regional chamber's official launch.
The chambers have shared several events and forums across the Alle-Kiski Valley featuring prominent speakers and government officials, including U.S. Reps. Mike Doyle, D-Forrest Hills, and Keith Rothfus, R-Sewickley. The group will continue that trend through September as it invites state representatives to hear how existing legislation affects their businesses and how those issues should be addressed, said Curt Marino, Alle Kiski Strong Chamber vice chairman.
"A big part of what we're doing is making sure that we're staying in front of the legislating government officials who determine the climate in which we do business," he said. "We have a much greater base now, and we're going to continue working around our footprint to ensure all 700-plus members can benefit from the great things we're doing here."
The Alle Kiski Strong Chamber members said they hope to organize a large-scale inaugural event in January that will embody the chamber's mission and identity. Amato, who previously sat on the StrongLand chamber board, said the group's unsure what that will entail but hopes it entices its members to recognize the benefits of membership.
"As chairman, it's my responsibility to live up to what we're trying to accomplish," he said. "I think our members are going to see early on how we all will benefit greatly from the consolidation."

Kingdom Hearts III Confirmed as Next Title in the Series!?
For those of you who have been playing Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance as non-stop as I have since its release, you may have already reached the end of the game. In that case, you may already know what I'm talking about, but the game's ending gives possible clues to the next title in the series – which might just be the HIGHLY anticipated Kingdom Hearts III!
A while back, series creator Tetsuya Nomura hinted in an interview that there would be a surprise message during the ending credits of Kingdom Hearts 3D, and that the message would hint at the next title in the series.
During the ending credits, characters from throughout the game appear on the left and right sides of the credits, just as they always have in past Kingdom Hearts installments. This time however, the characters interact with large blue letters that inevitably spell out the secret message that Nomura mentioned in his interview. We've recorded the section of credits that reveals the message and have uploaded it to our YouTube Channel so you can see what we're talking about. You can watch the video below (there are no spoilers, so don't worry).
For those of you who couldn't quite make out the message or if you just didn't want to watch the video, we've pieced together the message. The blue letters that the character interact with as the credits roll spell out "THIS LEADS TO KINGDOM HEARTS". Now this is a rather vague message, but if you keep watching, the credits end and the scene shifts to Sora and Riku walking towards a bright light. As they get closer, their bodies create gaps of darkness in the square of light, revealing three pillars of light (one on each side and one in between them). If this is meant to signify what I think it is, then this means that the entire message reads "THIS LEADS TO KINGDOM HEARTS III".
However, let's not jump to conclusions just yet. In another interview a while back (around the time of Re:Coded's release), Tetsuya Nomura also had said that after the release of Re:Coded, there would be three more titles in the "Xehanort Saga", and that Re:Coded and Birth by Sleep: Final Mix were not among those three. Assuming that one of those titles is Kingdom Hearts III and that another of those titles is Kingdom Hearts 3D, that leaves one more game unaccounted for – possibly the mysterious Birth by Sleep -Volume II- that was hinted at during the secret ending of Birth by Sleep: Final Mix?
This raises the question: is the next game in the series truly Kingdom Hearts III like the KH3D ending credits suggest, or did that message simply mean that Kingdom Hearts III will pick up where 3D left off and that there is still another potential filler game that go back into the story to fill more plot holes? I suppose only time will tell. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Start the telnet service? That usually does the trick....
What sort of problems are you having with SSH? Reverse SSH is fairly simple to do.
How can I enable telnet login on Backtrack 3? (I can't get ssh login working through a reverse ssh tunnel)
Start the telnet service? That usually does the trick....
What sort of problems are you having with SSH? Reverse SSH is fairly simple to do.
How do I start the telnet service on backtrack 3? There isn't an /etc/inetd.conf
Since you asked, basically this is what I can't get working:
From home, I want to log into my work computer which is behind a firewall. So on my work computer, I log into my home computer like so:
That should make my home computer listen on port 7071. So from home I should be able to log into the work computer like this:Code:ssh -R 7071:127.0.0.1:22 -p 22 user@home_ip_address
Unfortunately (unless there is some workaround I'm not aware of) ssh through a reverse ssh tunnel gives the following errorCode:ssh localhost -p 7071
I think it has to do with ssh conflicting with the already existing ssh connection. But I was able to log into the work computer if I run the telnet daemon on it.Code:ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Well I found out that I can invoke the telnet daemon by having a shell script manually start in.telnetd in an endless loop... but that will only allow for a single telnet login at a time. Apparently inetd is not installed in backtrack 3.

EA says Battlefield 3 is ready for a "battle of the titans" with Activision's Call of Duty series.
During the Ad Age Conference this week, EA CEO John Riccitiello stated that Battlefield 3 is "designed to take [Call of Duty] down." He also predicts that "a couple of hundred million dollars [worth of] marketing against these two products."
This news comes after the EA Download Manager may have accidentally revealed Battlefield 3's release date, one particularly close to the usual window we see Call of Duty games released in.
Riccitiello also spoke of the gaming industry, which he expected to increase from a userbase of 1.5 billion to 3 billion in three to four years.

HOW TO tell if its real leather. PIX
It is a common question that people ask if the leather is real or not. Maybe this has been posted before but i've never seen a sticky for it.
First and foremost, PREMIUM Pkg does NOT promise leather. SPORTS pkg does NOT promise leather.
YES, you can tell by looking at it!:)
Please read the text above each picture indicating what you are looking at.
First, Take the basic front seat. There is a fold in the LEATHER. leatherette does not have this fold. Please examine the difference between the two photos. The first one has leather, the second does not.
The same exact thing goes for the back seats. As follows, the first one has leather, and the second one does not.
On a sport seat it is difficult to tell. The below picture does have leather. If looking to see if a car with sports pkg has leather, it is important that you look at the rear seats as it is much easier to tell on the back seat.
This is accurate information for any year e46. This is according to the Sales manager at Kuni BMW in portland, OR. It's the same on any recently made BMW. He assured me that this is accurate and true information. Many times leather will not show up on the history report, and unless you can get a hold of the original invoice, this is the easiest fastest way to determine real leather. I hope this helps.:thumbsup:
330i, xi and 330ci w/ premium package will have leather, model years 2003+
Leather is STD on 330cic, model years 2003+
It is only the 325i,xi - 325i, xi wagons and 325ci, cic where leather is a stand alone option and not in the premium package
from what i was told by a dude at the raliegh bmw dealership, the gray interiors are always real leather, black and tan are the ones that are grounds for being pleather.
There's an even easier way to tell: if it's cracked, faded, stained, creased and generally just looks like crap, it's leather. Leatherette, being a synthetic material, will have an uncanny "factory perfect" appearance and feel even in an older car. It does not age or wear quickly from exposure to water or UV radiation. Leatherette will not stain, wrinkle, or fade.
As the E46 models age, you'll find that the mediocre quality leather BMW uses in the 3er will begin to show itself without the need for looking at flaps in the seat, or feeling the texture, or anything else.
So it was a waste for me to use leather cleaner on my freakin leatherette seats?
I was just going to ask that! What is the recommended cleaner for this? I guess i got leatherette. Oh well, its looks good and nobody knows the difference. They all say how good the leather looks! :)
You should be using Vinyl cleaner. The moisturizers and conditioners in leather treatments won't do anything but dirty up your vinyl. However, if you;re just using foaming cleaners an such, that will work fine.
are all steering wheels leather?
nice.... i was always a little unsure... good to konw i have the real deal ;)
yeah man! i never even bothered trying to clean my seats for the 2 years i've had my car. and now i'm like oh crap i better clean these things! haha
Is the information in the original post correct? I have the "fold" in the seat but I'm 90% sure that it is not leather. It doesn't feel like leather and it doesn't smell like leather.
I can't believe this thread is back. Why is it so hard for people to tell between leather and letherette.
It is obviuos is day when you look at it. Looks different, feels different, heck even smells different.
Crud...sorry for continuting this post. I think I have leather, but am not totally sure. I have the "fold" and Premium Package on my 2002 330i. Actually my seats look exactly like the first picture (seat with the "fold") in the very first post in this thread. I can't really smell the leather.
^^^Yeah man you have leather! :) Mine don't smell either, my car just smells like the dirty shed where I store it in the winter haha
Is there any real replacement for having the real thing...not!
leatherette > leather
I've always liked the leatherette better. It just feels more comfortable to me.
Another item of note, BMW does not (that I know of) produce leatherette in gray. Only in tan and black. So, if you have gray you have leather.
The premium package doesnt include real leather. You have to specify whether you want leather or not and just how darkryan posted, you are charged extra for the leather. I bought my car with the sport package and premium package and still had to pay extra for real leather. Although it is true, leatherette is so much more comfortable. This weekend i had the new 328i as a loaner while mine was at lauderdale bmw, and the seats were soooo comfortable and soft LOL.

Jackson, MD
Welcoming Dr.
Rosalind Jackson.
Dr. Jackson is often asked, "Why did you choose to become an OB/GYN?"
In the words of Dr. Jackson...
I have always had a passion for women's healthcare. That
passion drives my commitment to providing my patients with
excellent care. I believe the patient - physician
relationship is special and needs to be based on open and honest
communication. I take a personal interest in what goes on
in women's lives and address their needs individually.
Being a working mom myself, I value my patients time. I
believe in educating a woman about her health which enables her
to make a good decision about her body.
I consider myself not only as a physician but also a resource.
I specialize in office procedures, Bioidentical Hormones,
laparoscopic surgery, urinary incontinence and OB care.
Doing procedures in the offices saves time and money for my
patients. My most recent interest is in Bioidentical
Hormones. I have found that all too often that women's
hormonal imbalance is not taken seriously. Bioidentical
hormones helps me to individualize your hormonal needs and
replenish what you need which will be different for every woman.
I am married with two beautiful daughters. In my spare
time I enjoy reading, jogging and clipping coupons. My
goal is to run a half marathon some day. Balance in my
life is what keeps me going.
I did my
undergraduate studies at Tennessee State University. I
graduated in 1989. Prior to entering Medical School I
worked for Good Year Tire and Rubber company in Akron, Ohio.
Medical School was done at Wright State University School of
Medicine, graduation was in 1995. I completed my
internship and residency at Wright State University, at Miami

Los Angeles, July 13, 2011 — The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Los Angeles (BAFTA Los Angeles) will honor Academy Award nominated and BAFTA winning actress Helena Bonham Carter with the Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year at the 2011 BAFTA Los Angeles Britannia Awards on Wednesday, November 30 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The Britannia Awards are BAFTA Los Angeles' highest accolade, a celebration of achievements honoring individuals and companies that have dedicated their careers or corporate missions to advancing the entertainment arts. "Helena Bonham Carter is an actress of immense versatility, and her range across movies of all genres is at once remarkable and fearless," says Nigel Lythgoe, Chairman of BAFTA Los Angeles. "She unwaveringly maintains her integrity and, through her choice ofroles, continually challenges both herself and her audiences' perception of her." Bonham Carter joins the previously announced John Lasseter who will receive the Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Filmed Entertainment, and David Yates who will be honored with the John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Excellence in Directing. Additional awards which are presented at the annual Britannia evening include the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film and the Charlie Chaplin Award for Excellence in Comedy.
BAFTA LA To Honor Helena Bonham Carter
5 Comments
Yeah. We have to see clothes said Andre of Vogue.
Red Queen…Queen Elizabeth…Bellatrix Lestrange… and, that was just 2010.
Congratulations, Helena Bonham Carter.
…and, best wishes from a proud BAFTA/LA member.
I think it is safe to suggest that unlike John Lasseter, Helena Bonham Carter has NOT spent the past two weeks speaking with a falsetto mock British Queen accent. Of course now, If he doesn't give his acceptance speech in that voice, I'll be disappointed.
Helena Bonham Carter rocks. And those cheekbones? Magnificent!
She is a gift as was Audrey Hepburn, beautiful, human, whimsical, delightful!

A popular but busy service station on the northbound side of the M6, with southbound traffic being sent to Roadchef's almost-as-good Stafford (South). This side of the services is well known for its large lake and garden.
Catering: Burger King, Costa, Eat & Drink Co., Greggs, Costa Express, Krispy Kreme, Millie's Cookies Shops: M&S Simply Food, WHSmith Main Amenities: Children's Play Area, Ecotricity electric vehicle charging point, Field, Lucky Coin, Picnic Area, Showers Motel: Travelodgebook Forecourt: BP, BP Connect, Wild Bean Café, AdBlue Containers
Parking Prices
First two hours free for all vehicles, after which cars must pay £15 and HGVs, caravans and motorhomes £22, or £23.50 to include a £10 food voucher.
Prices are paid using PayByPhone - more details. The location code is 2463.
The fees are strictly enforced by CP Plus.
The services opened in 1996, earlier than Stafford (South), which is the only real reason for the difference between the two sites. Since opening the Retail Store has been converted into a WHSmith, and the Birthdays has become a Fone Bitz but has since been replaced. The coffee bar was originally supposed to be at the side, but opened at the centre.
It is possibly the only service area to double-up a dog walking field with an overflow car park, changing as necessary.
The filling station here used to have a Burger King drive through at the side of the shop, but it closed down due to a lack of custom and Moto sold it to BP, who wasted no time in adding an M&S Simply Food and Wild Bean Café. In summer 2016, however, along with Reading, BP replaced the M&S Simply Food with a BP Connect.
Designing and Construction
Mobil bought the site from a developer for £10m, and then worked with Granada as a joint investment. At the same time Granada put in an application to build a southbound service area at the same place, but for some reason this never materialised.
Both the northbound services and the planned southbound ones were deliberately set back from the road by 67 metres to allow for the M6 to be fully widened, as has been planned several times. Space was also left for the B5026 to be re-aligned. The first plans didn't account for this and were rejected as a result.
When it opened, the services trialled a new brand identity which was quickly adopted nationwide by Granada. As part of the changes, the services were one of the first to use polished wood instead of dirty carpets, stands with local information, and boasted more spacious toilets and, for a brief period, staff positioned to welcome customers and hand them ashtrays if necessary.
The new layout followed extensive research by Granada to establish what customers wanted.
One early plan, known as Cold Norton Farm, had a square amenity building in the centre of the complex, with the lake being within the motorway loops. This was later changed for the Granada plan.
Survey Results
Use with care. Outdated surveys have been included for interest only.
In 2015 and August 2011 Visit England gave the services 4 stars. They particularly liked the landscaping.
In 2006 and again in 2007, the services won a four star loo award.
Also in 2006, the services were rated as 5/5 by Holiday Which? They said it was spotless and had some great outdoor facilities, but it didn't win, Tebay did.
In 2005 the services won a five star loo award.

Versalis and Yulex Corporation have announced they are forming a strategic partnership to manufacture guayule-based biorubber materials and will launch an industrial production complex in Southern Europe.
The partnership will cover the entire manufacturing chain from crop science to biorubber extraction to the construction of a biomass power station. Versalis will manufacture materials for various applications: after an initial focus on consumer and medical specialty markets, the target is to optimize the process to reach the tire industry.
The partnership will leverage Yulex's core competencies including crop science and biorubber extraction technologies, to boost Versalis' bio-based portfolio. The investment will include an ambitious research project to develop technologies targeting the tire industry.
Guayule (Parthenium argentatum) is a renewable, non-food crop that requires little water usage, no pesticides and it is an alternative source of natural rubber because of its latex allergy friendly properties, unlike Hevea rubber.
Versalis, with its market leading position in the elastomer industry, plans to expand its leading-edge technologies in the synthetic rubber business by including guayule rubber as a supplementary business opportunity and an increased commercial offering.
"The partnership with Yulex is strategic to Versalis, considering concerns over the forecasted scarcity in the butadiene market and volatility of this chemical, which in turn causes long term pressure on the price of products like synthetic rubber," said Daniele Ferrari, chief executive officer of Versalis.
"Partnering with Yulex represents our commitment and momentum towards entering the global market as a major green chemistry player. All of our green chemistry partnerships aim to enhance Versalis' bio-based portfolio and will feed oil-based production chains with high-performance intermediates from renewable feedstocks, in particular in the elastomers business."
"Versalis is an ideal global partner for Yulex, as they are a leading supplier of elastomers and have the ability to rapidly scale and commercialize processes," said Jeff Martin, chief executive officer, president and co-founder of Yulex Corporation.
"Together, through our shared vision of expanding green chemistry,we can accelerate the positive impact that guayule-based biorubber high-value products have on the environment, human health and sustainable global growth."

Zarbee's has been expanding its pediatric cough-cold line featuring buckwheat honey with the launch of Zarbee's Nighttime Cough and Sleep Drink, an over-the-counter nighttime cough remedy proven safe and effective for children 2 years of age and older.
"In this product we've taken the dark honeys, but we've put it in a granulated form so that it can be mixed in hot water," noted Zak Zarbock, the pediatrician who created the product. In the first two months on shelf, Zarbee's Nighttime moved more than 180,000 units across one national pharmacy retailer.
And while the product is a dietary supplement, and advertised as such, that doesn't mean it can't run head-to-head against other products on the cough-cold shelf. A Penn State survey published in 2007 in The Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that the parents of a group of children taking buckwheat honey to reduce cough reported significant difference in symptom relief versus the parents of a group of children taking a honey-flavored dextromethorphan product.
In addition to buckwheat honey, Zarbee's Nighttime Cough and Sleep Drink contains vitamin C, zinc and elderberry, as well as a small amount of melatonin.

Product Inquiry
First Cool Shades Collection Project secured by Jotun Powder Coatings UAE
Source: Jotun
The Abu Dhabi One Tower is the first project world wide that has specified The Cool Shades Collection as announced by Jotun Powder Coatings UAE in February.
Located in the Capital City of Abu Dhabi, the total quantity of powder to be used in this project
will be 6MT. Supply of powder coating has already started and according to A.P.G., the architechural firm
handling the project, the Abu Dhabi One Tower is on track to be completed by end of 2011.
The Cool Shades collection has attracted a lot of interest from architects, specifiers and facade consultants who see this product as the way forward to improve sustainability and 'green' credentials of their facade designs. In Feb 2011, Jotun Powder Coating UAE was the gold sponsor of the Facade Design and Engineering Summit 2011 held in Dubai, in which the Cool Shades Collection was highlighted.
The event is an annual one and is focused on the facade industry and its needs. Among the participants in event were industry experts comprising of leading developers like Emaar and Sorouh; Architechural firms such as RMJM and Benoy and Facade specialists such as Arup and Ramboll, to name a few.
UAE General Manager Ram Ramnath and Architechural Specifications Manager Monesh Aidasani conducted a presentation entitled "Advance in Powder Coating technology for the aluminum facade industry" which showcased how Jotun Powder Coating has kept pace with the exacting demands of the facade industry on the three most important dimensions - performance, aesthetics and sustainability.
Architectural Powder Coatings
Source: Jotun
Jotun Powder Coatings, one of the world's leading producers and suppliers of powder coatings, has launched the 'Cool Shades Collection', a new collection of energy-savingand environmentally friendly powder coatings formulated to reduce the temperature of aluminium building components that are exposed to the sun, thereby effectively contributing to lowering buildings' energy consumption and cooling costs.
The unique range is based on heat management pigment technology that reflects the infrared energy to allow colours to maintain their vibrancy. The 'Cool Shades Collection' offers a wide range of colours to match both modern and traditional architecture, and is in an ideal application for window frames, curtain walls, shutters, louversand wall panels. Furthermore, the new collection is available in industry-leading high performance polyester powder coatings Corro-Coat PE-SDF Super Durable, as well as the standard architectural grade Corro-Coat PE-F Façade. "Sustainable architecture ensures that what we do today will not limit opportunities for future generations, and we have created 'Cool Shades Collection' based on this belief," said Claudio Lurili, Divisional Marketing Director of Jotun Powder Coatings. "The environmentally friendly properties of our new range speak of our commitment addressing the issues pertaining to green building, green living and constructions of buildings that enhance quality of life and minimize environmental impact."
As more and more structures are being completed in accordance to green building codes, with aims to achieve sustainability and increase efficiency, solutions that lessen the buildings' energy consumption are witnessing increasing demand. Complementing the most important green construction and maintenance processes, Jotun's 'Cool Shades Collection' makes a real difference on indoor temperature by lessening heat build up indoors, thereby contributing to reduce the use of cooling systems that use precious resources and energy. "The 'Cool Shades Collection' is another testament of our strong support for sustainable architecture.
As a powder coating, it is environmentally friendly due to absence of solvents, which results in the release of negligible amounts of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air. In addition, our lead-free product can be disposed of easily and safely, while unused or over sprayed powder can be recovered and reused for minimal wastage," concluded Lurili. Boasting of extensive experience in the fast-developing highly demanding construction markets of the Middle East and South East Asia, Jotun Powder Coatings' architectural products protect prestigious landmarks, including the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest man-made structure, and the 7-star hotel Burj Al Arab, both in Dubai, UAE. Other landmark projects coated with Jotun Powder Coatings' are the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, the Kuala Lumpur Convention in Malaysia and the Regatta residential district in Jakarta, Inodonesia.
CORRO – COAT PE-SDF Super Durable
Corro-coat PE-SDF Super Durable is a line of heavy-duty
superior polyester powder coatings, especially designed to withstand harsh
weather conditions as well as handling and mounting strains. Its high gloss
and color retention are combined with optimum functional properties,
ensuring the highest levels of protection and aesthetic appearance.
Corro-Coat PE-SDF Super Durable polyester powder coatings are supplied in:
- High Gloss, Semi-gloss and matt
- Customized Colors
- Smooth, sparkling metallic finishes
Corro-Coat PE-SDF polyester technology has a life expectancy three times longer than earlier coatings' technologies. It also more cost effective than liquid coating systems, which gives the same durability when used for coating. More importantly, it is well-suited to endure elevated temperatures, intense levels of UV radiation and erratic degrees of humidity.
Application Area
Corro-Coat PE-SDF Super Durable polyester powder coatings are recommended where special applications regarding gloss retention and color stability are required. Primary areas of application are architectural aluminum extrusions and its alloys where climatic conditions put severe strain on exterior coatings, and where long lasting aesthetic and protective features are paramount.
Corro-Coat PE-SDF Super Durable polyester powder coatings are supplied with a comprehensive 25- year warranty for exterior applications when used on aluminum substrate.
The warranty is applicable conditional to substrate material, surface preparation, and application and maintenance procedures.
Test Method and Equipment
The physical performance of any powder coating on a substrate is extremely dependent upon the adhesion forces between the two. Adhesion is very dependent upon the cleanliness of the substrate, the appropriate selection and maintenance of pretreatment, and the proper melt and cure of the coating powder. Inadequate adhesion will affect properties such as impact, flexibility, slow penetration, outdoor durability and corrosion resistance. Adhesion may be tested by several different methods. A commonly used technique is the cross hatch and tape method. In this method, crossed or lattice cuts are made through the coating. Adhesive tape is then applied to the cut coating and then remove quickly. The coating adhesion is then rated by its ability to remain on the substrate and to not be removed by the tape. Through this method offers a very quick determination, a crosshatch failure only indicates very poor adhesion.
Measurement of adhesion by Cross-cut
Test and tape pull off
This standard specifies a procedure for assessing, by means of simple empirical test, the resistance of a powder coating to separation from substrate when a lattice pattern is cut into the coating, penetrating through it to the substrate. A tape with specified adhesion strength is put over the lattice pattern and peeled off.
This method is an unauthorized abstract of ISO 2409
Cross – cut Tester
Hold the cutting tool face in a plane normal to the test panel surface and make cuts with a length at least similar to the width of the tool. Make new cuts overlapping the original cuts and at 90o to them so that a lattice pattern is formed (25 squares)
Use a cutting rate of 2-5 cm /sec and make the cuts in an even. All cuts must penetrate through to the substrate but shall not cut too deeply into the latter.
Brush the panel lightly with the polyamide brush five times forwards and five times backwards along both diagonals of the lattice pattern. Press an adhesive tape onto the lattice pattern. Press firmly to avoid air entrapment between tape and substrate. Pull the tape of with a firm movement, keeping an angle of 45o between tape and substrate.
Powder Coating Facades Maintenance
A maintenance –free surface coating for the construction industry is up till
now unavailable in the marketplace. No maintenance-free surface coating for
the construction exists. This includes products specially designed for parts of
the world where climatic conditions put extreme strain on the exterior coating.
Correct maintenance has a major influence in maintaining the aesthetic appearance of a coating, thus expanding its year of service. Since the coating is usually exposed to a variety of environmental conditions, depending on what weather zone in the globe it is exposed to, maintenance should be handled differently in different parts of the world.
Periodical Cleaning and Routine Maintenance (Cleaning frequency)
Powder Coated Objects or Components Used Outdoors
Cleaning is typically used to remove dirt and stains to maintain the aesthetic impression of the coating. When the coated objects or components are located in maritime sites, highly polluted areas, aggressive stains may result on the coating surface and the gloss will gradually fade away. This may accelerate degradation of the coating's surface through corrosion, and will reduce the coating's years of service.
Cleaning is generally recommended at 6-month intervals; however, in highly exposed areas the frequency should be increased, depending on the severity of climate conditions on the coated object or components. Ordinary dirt and stains can be removed using a household neutral detergent (ph 5 to 8), diluted with water. The cleaning agent should not contain abrasive materials or solvents as they might have an adverse effect on the coating.
Powder Coated Objects or Components Used Indoors, Behind Glass
Typically, powder coated objects or components located or placed behind glass show no deterioration. However, their visual and aesthetic appearance might be affected by dust, dirt and splashes. It is recommended that these objects and components are washed periodically with a mild household neutral detergent (ph 5 to 8) to keep the surface in excellent condition.
Restoration through Rubbing
In general, coatings are subject to alterations. It is formulator's responsibility to assure that such changes occur evenly and that they will not have an effect on the uniform appearance, or the aesthetic impression of the building. Nevertheless, after several years of exposure, coatings might eventually need to be refreshed, even I periodical cleaning has been conducted. This is essential in those parts of the world where climatic conditions put extreme strain on the coating.
Rubbing one effective way for refreshing the coating
1. Prior to rubbing, remove ordinary dirt, oil grease by using a household neutral detergent (ph 5 to 8) diluted with water.
2. Apply the rubbing solution on a lint free cloth or tack and wipe the coating liberally by hand or with a machine. Repeated wiping will enhance the result.
3. Remove the solution with a clean cloth.
Cost Savings with Oven Temperature Profiling
By understanding and controlling thermal cure process, it can improve operating efficiency and maximize the company's profitability. This article discusses how oven temperature profilers help companies improve the finishing output
Using an oven temperature recorder on a powder coating line
The majority of today's oven temperature profiling systems is used to simply check that the coated product reaches and maintains the specified temperature for the correct time (dwell time), ensuring the coating is thermally cured. This is an essential step to improving operating profit by simply reducing the risk of rejects or the need for costly rework. Not getting the cure schedule right could significantly increase the true costs to company and affect the whole operation: labor, energy, coatings, and lost business. Guaranteeing cure quality is the mere tip of the iceberg in terms of how profiling can help to achieve the full potential of coating operation
Oven Control: Cost Saving Potential
To be able to control the oven first, understand the way it works.
A temperature profiling system is an ideal tool for maximizing the
efficiency of the process and for getting the most out of cure oven.
Many oven temperature profiling system can be used for such purposes.
For example, systems are available for measuring up to six product or
air temperatures inside an oven, providing protection for up to 2 hours
at 400oF (200oC). This type of system is ideal for standard paint and powder
coating applications. These units have been designed for ease of use and are
rugged, reliable and affordable
Match process conditions: In many coating operations, maximum productivity levels are limited by the rate at which the cure process is performed. Optimizing the oven line speed accurately can significantly affect the throughput of product, and hence its operating profit. After analyzing the oven profile data, it's possible that optimal line speeds can be determined for each batch of product, ensuring that oven works at maximum capacity for each job, Increasing the line speed by 10 percent doesn't seem like much, but over the period of a year can have a significant effect on productivity without any significant increase in operating costs because the energy and labor costs would remain unchanged.
Monitor process variations. Monitoring the process regularly allows to identify how oven performs. Using such information is possible to then identify any gradual drifts in process variations, which left unchecked may eventually create cure problems. Such action is made at the company's convenience so that it can be planned on a weekend or service period without any compromise to the production schedule.
Minimize downtime. When problems occur, identify them immediately. Use the profile data to identify the possible cause of the problem, and allow corrective action. Remember, every minute your oven is non-operational, your operating profit is affected.
Balance the oven, Use an oven profiling system to balance the heating conditions over the entire oven (vertical height or across mesh belt). Place the maximum load in the oven, and optimize throughput. Even today, it's not uncommon to find powder coating lines operating with the rack only partially loaded. Cure lines with product excluded from the top of the rack to avoid over cure or from the bottom to avoid under cure will benefit significantly from any level of temperature balancing. Often, in convection ovens such imbalance can be corrected by adjusting or servicing air inlet baffles, resulting in a changed airflow through the oven. By using the temperature profiling system, it's possible to monitor the air temperature over the entire height and length of the oven, which is essential in a temperature balancing operation. Increasing the rack load immediately increases productivity. For example, by increasing the load from eight to ten aluminum extrusions, productivity increases by 20 percent. Successful balancing operations may even allow the set point temperature to be reduced, allowing additional fuel savings.
Energy savings: The financial justification
In a powder coating plant, the operating cost of the cure oven is significant in the total operating cost. Making small percentage changes in the operating efficiency of the cure process can make a significant contribution to the overall operating profitability.
Promote your company's quality procedures. In a competitive market, providing the product or company's services with that added extra can make the difference between winning and losing business. With coating functionality and prices being very similar, an excellent means of adding value to the service you offer is to provide validated evidence of the coating cure quality in the form of profile graph. The temperature profiling system was use to determine the maximum temperature and process changes to ensure proper cure of the product. Such information can make all the difference and gives the customers confidence in the product.
Regular use of temperature profiling equipment can not only guarantee the quality of coated products, but also significantly enhance the efficiency and operating profitability of the cure process. Oven profile systems can help you get the best out your oven and maximize your business potential. http://pc112008.ecndigitaledition.com
The impact resistance of a powder coating is an indicator of its ability to withstand sudden physical stress, as hit by a hammer. Rapid indentation of the coated substrate from the coated side is referred to as direct impact. Alternatively, if the rapid indentation is from the uncoated back side, it is reverse impact. Both methods are used to evaluate impact resistance. The thickness and ductile properties of the substrate are significant factors in this test and must be controlled for reliable results. The most common apparatus used to measure impact is the Variable Height Impact Tester, which consists of a cylindrical weight that falls freely within a vertical tube. A table is located below the bottom of the tube to support the test panel. The weight is dropped from various heights, forming indentations of various depths, to determine the impact resistance of the coating. Result is normally reported in inch-pounds. The reported value is the maximum impact that did not crack the coating at a specific film thickness on a specific substrate where evaluated with an aided eye
Chemrez has now expanded its application from ferrous and non-ferrous substrate to non-metal substrate. Launched as "GLAZKOTE", this powder series is designed to coat different glass materials. This powder-coated glass can be used for bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and office structures. Glazkote is now used as alternative finish for white board, candleholders and various glass decors. Tested to be more consistent than wet paint and more flexible than precolored and tinted glasses, consumers can freely choose from a variety of colors and finishes without the burden of ordering a whole lot.
P-GCA Glass Coating Primer Glass Coating primer is mainly used as an adhesion promoter for powder coating applications on glass substrates. It is used as a coupling agent to improve adhesion of free radical cured resins. Application of Glass coating primer to the glass substrate is required prior to powder coating application.

Ratings for Dr. John Cecil Pecknold
I find dr pecknold only likes certain patients. He washes his hands of you by having someone call you and tell you that he won't see you any,more. He should be in some other profession - notary or actuary, some more aloof field. He has a deep coldness for his patients. He's just going through the motions in his job.
I found him very inconsistent and as a young woman I found him preoccupied with my weight and looks and lack of relationships. Completely out of touch with youth and while he has a great deal of experience with medications, I didn't find him easy to talk to and felt stressed during appointments trying to make myself heard. Made comments about how my depression and anxiety were caused by being overweight, which triggered my old patterns of disordered eating. Not up to date on treatments and current research. Not good for young people, especially not young women. He also inquired about my sexual orientation several times and asked me if I overate to stave off men. Interpreted my lack of makeup as not caring for myself as if it were on the same level as not washing my hair and wearing deodorant. Maybe a better fit for others, but not for me. Refused to explore other diagnoses for me... He's not the worst, but certainly there are better docs out there. He might need to retire soon because his age shows and not in a good way.
I began seeing Dr. Pecknold when I turned 18 while transferring from the youth sector to the adult sector at the hospital I was being followed by. I was already skeptical from the beginning, as I had a the dynamic duo of doctors while being treated as an adolescent but Dr. Pecknold has now increased my skepticism when meeting new psychiatrists. Right off the bat, I could we didn't connect, I was 18 and he was a much older man... Kinda hard to relate to someone when he's old enough to be your grandfather. Every session would start the same, he'd ask me how I was and me, not feeling comfortable enough to express my mental state and emotions would always respond the same way. That, I must admit was my fault, however that was my least frustrating issue. Being very literal, every time I left his office after my appointment was finished, he would forget who I was. The next week, I would go to see him again and he would have to skim through my file to read my diagnosis and my name... I'm serious, he would take my file off his desk to read the name if he forgot who I was mid-session. Not only that, he would ask me every time if I liked women (I do, by the way) --but none of the reasons I was there could have been resolved by my sexual orientation. If I was straight, homosexual, purple or a fire-breathing dragon, I'd still be depressed and I was. So I felt like who I was, as a person, was being overlooked and I felt like I was wasting my time trying to get help from someone who wasn't helping. I still decided to seek treatment with him but I was starting to see that my intuition was right. When I decided to ask for another therapist, he seemed greatly offended and made me feel bad, which only solidified why I didn't want to see him. He didn't refer me to anyone and had to get a referral through my doctor. Overall, he wasn't helpful, he was constantly late, I sometimes sat in the waiting room for upwards of 35 minutes and made me feel like my sexual orientation was the root of my problems, when it truly wasn't. I must admit though, he was very knowledgeable in finding the right combination of medications, which surprisingly, I still follow although while seeing a different, more supportive therapist.
Very Bad Experience !! After Treating my wife for several months. She attempted to commit suicide this Sunday. Those lowsy PILLZ... After This tragic event happening, she randomly happened to have a monthly visit booked with Dr.Pecknold at Douglas. So I joined her so we could try and pinpoint the problem (pills,if it would be up to me).Well Guess What folks !? He didn't allow me in the office while my wife was demanding my presence... This is BRAINWASHING tactics. After they were done. I learned he didn't want to see her anymore and gave her 1 year pillz IN HANDS .. Let me remind you she attempted suicide 2 days before... think about it !! Top of the top. I then confronted him asking how he could take such IRRESPONSIBLE decisions... his best answer, and believe it or not . MIDDLE FINGER UP ! I don't call that a qualified Physician... Thanks for reading. My wife is now starting a weaning very soon ! DONE WITH THESE PILLS and CONSTANT brainwashing
excellent psychiatrist patient and helped me so much i am eternally grateful a true angel who treated me in my darkest days.
I wouldn't say that he is a bad psychiatrist as psychiatrists tend to be pretty iffy in my experience. I was just uncomfortable with him and unable to relate to him. I did not find him intuitive and I found near the end when I left the appointment I often felt worse than when I went it. I basically just kept going to get my meds prescribed, he wasn't helpful as a mentor or in a therapeutic sense at all. We just didn't click and I found he misunderstood me. Frequently late. The staff were generally very nice, good therapists, helpful secretaries.
I have seen Doctor Pecnold years ago. I can with certainty tell you he is there to help you. He is an extremely patient man and he is willing to listen to you and give you good advice.On top of it all, you will really get a compassionate mentor/psychiatrist. Thank you Mr. Pecnold.
I have had very bad experiences with psychiatrists in the past and have been dealing with mental health issues since childhood. I am very uncomfortable with doctors and Dr. Pecknold is a very kind, caring, and helpful doctor. He is reasonable and is knowledgeable about pharmacology and is always realistic and honest. Not stuck up whatsoever, he is always looking for patient input and sincerely wants to improve the situations of his patients. Great doctor.
Dr Pecknold stuck with me through some very dark years and made available many other resources for me. He listens and recruits you as a partner in your treatment. Very knowledgeable about psychopharmcology. A straight shooter who is compassionate, but will not hesitate to give you a kick in the ass when needed. THANK YOU!
Dr.Pecknold is the very best psychiatrist for anxiety and depression. The evaluation I went through before being accepted to see him was very thorough and in fact the only place that found out what was needed to help me after 10 years of not knowing what was wrong. He is very busy and in demand for a reason. I greatly aprreciated his honesty, kindness and professional knowledge of mediecine. He is the only doctor who chose the correct prescriptions to stop my suffering. I hate seeing doctors because it reminds you something is wrong. He made me accept and know that it is ok to take mediecine for menatal anguish just like it is ok to take it for diabetes or any other affliction. I will never forget him.

Oxford United Tops Mariners 2-1 In USA Preseason Opener
Tuesday, July 23rd, 2012
SACO, ME - Oxford United opened their American tour with a win on Tuesday night as they beat the Seacoast United Mariners 2-1 at Thornton Academy in Saco, ME.
Deane Smalley was the man of the moment once again as he netted his third goal in three games with a calmly taken penalty in the first half, while Sean Rigg will be pleased with his eventual game winner in the 2nd half.
In front of a crowd of 600+, United dominated most of the game against a young American side, who grabbed a late consolation goal from
Nick George
(Bangor ME/Maine Maritime), but the U's full deserved another encouraging win.
Oxford began the match with a pace that the Mariners quickly needed to adjust to, and they did as they challenged with tough tackles and winning 50/50 balls in their defensive third.
Striker Sean Rigg was impressive with some direct running up front alongside James Constable but it was Smalley who grabbed the opener on 40 minutes when Forster-Caskey was again upended in the box and this time earned the U's a spot-kick. Smalley could hardly have been more nonchalant, side-footing the ball into the right hand corner of the net like a striker playing with tons of confidence and never even contemplating the possibility of missing.
United continued to look easy on the eye in the second half with Forster-Caskey having two efforts saved by Mariners goalkeeper
Will Pike
(Gorham ME/St Joseph's) and Rigg planting two efforts narrowly wide, but the hosts upped their game and forced Oxford goalkeeper Ryan Clarke to make two decent saves from Mariners striker
Eddie Jones
(Scarborough ME/Bowdoin College) to preserve the clean sheet.
Rigg did capitalize however, in looping home a fine volley from Batt's right wing cross on 83 minutes to make it 2-0.
The Mariners had been perfect hosts on and off the pitch with the game played in great spirits and the home side got their reward in the 87th as Nick George made it 2-1 with a low drive that left Clarke with no chance at all.
This was a fantastic opportunity for the Seacoast United Mariners players, as well as their young fans. Prior to the game, families hosted tailgate barbeques in the parking lot as the thunderstorms subsided. At halftime, the festive atmosphere continued as the field was flooded with children for a "kick-about" while the two teams discussed their adjustments prior to the start of the 2nd half.
The U's will now take on the Seacoast United Phantoms on Friday night in their next match. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pm at Portsmouth High School in Portsmouth, NH. Tickets are available online by

The money was paid to the gallery after two of its works by Turner were stolen from an exhibition in Germany in 1994.
Both paintings were recovered, but the gallery still received a sum of money for their loss after reaching an agreement with the insurers.
They have consulted with the Charity Commission on how it should be spent.
The two paintings in question - Shade and Darkness - the Evening of the Deluge, and Light and Colour - the Morning after the deluge) were part of Turner's bequest to the nation.
Great loss
As a result of this, the gallery was concerned they would be unable to spend the money on other projects and sought legal advice.
However, following consultations which were taken to the Attorney General, the gallery has been told it is free to spend the money on its entire collection, rather than just the Turner Bequest.
"It was a great loss when the Turners were stolen in 1994 and it is a great relief for us to now be in a position to have the paintings returned and a sum of money which will enhance our understanding of Turner," said Sir Nicholas Serota, Tate director.
"This funding will allow us to fulfil the ambition of every Turner scholar which is to see the works on paper of Britain's greatest landscape painter properly catalogued and contextualised."
The original cataloguing of Turner's work began almost 100 years ago, but researchers now estimate it could be completed within five years.
Meanwhile, reports that members of Turner's family had criticised the Tate for spending the money on works other than those by Turner have been denied by the Gallery.
A spokeswoman for the Tate told the BBC News website that the family had yet to voice any concerns directly to the gallery.
The remaining £6m from the insurance money will be spent on research, conservation and improving access to the gallery's collection store in Southwark, south London.

Is Pink The New Black For Men?
For the most part, men have three color choices when it comes to suits: black, gray, and navy blue. They've been able to expand their shirt and tie options from the traditional white, blue, white and blue striped, and white and blue checked over the years, and perhaps the increase in popularity of golf and other country club sports made it more common for men to wear pale pink and purple shirts and ties. Pink has become a much more acceptable color for guys than it was just a few years ago, and it might soon be as acceptable as it was in the early 1900s.
Suits in practically fluorescent shades of pink came down the runways at the Fall 2009 Dolce & Gabbana show, the Spring 2009 Givenchy and Calvin Klein shows. And Refinery 29 spotted men wearing the neon shade on men outside fashion shows, too. Most guys I know probably won't be suiting up in hot pink for work, but celebs like Kanye West and Pete Wentz would definitely throw one on for a premiere or a party. And I have a feeling we're going to start seeing men wear this color a whole lot more often, even if only on their socks.

Over the River and Through the Woods, to Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm We Go!
Eager to jump in to the highly-anticipated holiday season, my roommate and I decided that December 1 would be the day we headed out in search of the perfect Christmas tree.
On Saturday afternoon, a fine Oregon day that threatened rain at anytime, we headed out to Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm in Pleasant Hill, accompanied by our enlisted help. After scoring a car large enough to swallow my modest hatchback from my parents' house, we took the back roads through the woods to the farm. We eventually crossed the Willamette River and soon arrived at our destination.
Bundled up against the cold, we hopped out of the car and surveyed our options: a barn-housed gift shop, complete with hot drinks, a pancake breakfast fundraiser and a selection of pre-cut trees from which to choose. The U-cut pickings were just a quick hayride away, and included Noble, Grand, Douglas-fir and Scotch Pine. We piled on to the hay seats with a few other families and made our way to the fields.
We compared and contrasted as we combed the rows of Nobles, some tall and slender, others short and plump. Finally we selected a nice five-footer and got down to business. The aforementioned help came in the form of two of our male friends, whom we enlisted for their saw skills and lifting skills, among other things we like about them. Surprisingly to me, it took a mere minute or two to saw through the tree, and off we were, to trot back to the farm with our holiday booty.
The folks at Northern Lights shrink-wrapped our tree while we sucked on free candy canes, and with little effort we nestled the tree into the back of the car. Driving off, I marveled over how simple and easy the whole experience was. No chainsaws needed, just a small handsaw, and the ability to lift a few pounds. Not bad, something I could have done myself. Even more so, it was fun, and sure beat the pressure of looking through a tree lot on a rainy day, bumping into folks as you elbow each other to get to the best tree. Will I go back next year? Definitely.
If you go:
(Don't let the bleak cell phone camera pictures scare you away, it is indeed a beautiful place.)
-Leave your saw at home, they have extras on hand.
-Wear your boots – the fields are muddy!
To get to Northern Lights (36777 Wheeler Dr.) drive South of I-5, take the Goshen/Exit 188, continue east on Hwy 58 for about 5 miles, turn left on Parkway Road, then right on Wheeler Dr.

Biofilm and ecosystem research group (BERG), group leader Battin Tom
BERG focuses on microbial biofilms and their implications for ecosystem functioning and biogeochemistry in streams and rivers. Microbial biofilms dominate microbial life density in numerous freshwater ecosystems, and particularly in headwaters — the smallest but most abundant streams in fluvial networks. We are particularly interested in the coupled physical, chemical and biological processes that link biofilms to ecosystem processes and large-scale carbon and nutrient fluxes. Only recently has the relevance of freshwaters for global carbon fluxes been recognized. We hope that our research will expand our understanding, why ecosystems that contribute only marginally to the surface area of our planet, disproportionately contribute to the carbon fluxes that govern the biogeochemistry of our planet.
Areas of interest:
Stream ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, biofilm ecology, carbon fluxes, hydrodynamics and geomorphology, ecological theory, science
Selected papers
Battin, T.J., Luyssaert, S., Kaplan, L.A., Aufdenkampe, A.K., Richter, A. and Tranvik., L.J. (2009): The boundless carbon cycle. Nature Geoscience 2 (598 – 601).

Biogeochemical functions: research and management at Mmultiple scales research group (BIOFRAMES), group leader Hein Thomas
Our team investigates nutrient cycling and carbon dynamics in surface water dominated wetlands, their role in riverine landscapes and their importance providing ecosystem services. Riverine wetlands and riparian zones are ecosystems of strategic importance for matter cycling and biodiversity and at the same time intensely used and altered by humans. In context with these modified systems we are particularly interested in the interaction between hydromorphology, biogeochemical processes and selected aspects of biodiversity as well as the link between research and application in sustainable ecosystem management. The purpose of our research is to determine how changing conditions at the large scale (climate change) and the local scale (pollution, hydromorphological alterations) interact with the coupling of structure and function and explicitly, the interaction with restoration activities and ecosystem management. Thus, the scope of our research ranges from the community and habitat level to the ecosystem level and integrates field studies with experimental approaches. The research activity in BioFrames is devoted to establishing mechanistic models for primary production and the coupling with nutrient cycling in the water column, at the sediment/water and aquatic/terrestrial interface in wetlands and river systems.
Areas of interest:
Biogeochemistry, restoration ecology and the resilience of ecosystems, tools and models for multi criteria analysis for sustainable ecosystem management, stable isotope research and application

Aquatic lipid and ecotoxicology research group (LIPTOX), group leader Kainz Martin
LIPTOX investigates processes that govern organic matter pathways to organisms in aquatic ecosystems. Our research ranges from molecular to community levels, with the goal of integrating knowledge from nutritional ecology and ecotoxicology at various trophic scales. In particular, we focus on lipids and their fatty acids as especially some polyunsaturated fatty acids are fundamental to somatic development, reproduction, and survival of aquatic organisms. Such clearly favorable effects are opposite to the mostly negative effects of stressors (such as contaminants, species invasions, temperature, etc.) in aquatic food webs. These concurrent effects within aquatic food webs are poorly understood and encourage us to investigate linkages between dietary uptake, bioconversion, and retention of lipids and contaminants in organisms of aquatic food webs. Our goal is to improve knowledge of the structure and function of aquatic food webs, and to develop tools for better management of aquatic ecosystems in the face of future change.
Areas of interest:
Food web ecology, aquatic lipid biochemistry, ecotoxicology, physiological stressors, biomarkers (allochthonous and autochthonous)
Selected Papers

Key areas identified include food and drink, adventure sports and textiles.
Significant investment is also promised in expanding business centres, encouraging business growth and a wide range of training opportunities.
SEB chief executive David Gass said that all the funds would make a "direct difference" to the area's economy.
"It is vital that every penny we spend on projects has a real and lasting impact on the area," he said.
"The only way we can do that is to focus on where we can make a tangible difference."
Mr Gass highlighted the need to invest in training to bridge the "skills gap" between employer needs and the workforce available.
He also said SEB would be looking to help the economy branch out into new areas alongside its traditional business base.
In addition, SEB will be responsible for Scottish Enterprise's national textiles team and rural group.
Scottish Textiles has a budget of £500,000 to work alongside industry to identify areas that require support to ensure the industry remains competitive.
SEB chairman Hugh Tasker said the operating plan would provide the "main drivers" for economic growth in the Scottish Borders.
He added that it demonstrated its commitment to investing in areas that give the region the biggest return on investment.

The dismal show of Tamil publications has continued in the IRS 2011 Q2 results as well. Five out of six topline Tamil dailies have witnessed decline in average issue readership (AIR) as compared to the corresponding period last year. However, when compared to the previous quarter, the trends did give some relief to Tamil dailies as almost all of them witnessed growth in AIR.
Losing 1.12 lakh readers in a year, Daily Thanthi has registered an AIR of 72.90 lakh in IRS 2011 Q2. When compared to the previous quarter, the daily has lost 1.03 lakh readers, a decline of 1 per cent. Dinakaran is the only Tamil daily to have witnessed growth in AIR (of 2 per cent) as compared to last year, reporting an AIR of 51.67 lakh in IRS 2011 Q2.
Meanwhile, Dinamalar has seen a growth of growth of 4 per cent in its AIR over the previous quarter, taking its current AIR to 26.68 lakh. However when compared to the corresponding period last year, the AIR of the daily has declined by 8 per cent, a loss of 2.19 lakh readers. Dinamani has registered an AIR of 5.19 lakh in IRS 2011 Q2, a growth of 8 per cent as compared to last year. Meanwhile, Malai Malar has lost 1.39 lakh readers in a year, taking its AIR down to 4.17 lakh. The AIR of Tamizh Murasu was reported at 1.16 lakh, an annual decline of 17 per cent.
Sinking Periodicals:
Tamil periodicals, too, reflect the degrowth seen among Tamil dailies. While the previous quarter brought some respite for select periodicals that saw growth in AIR; when compared to last year, all top ten Tamil magazines have seen decline in their AIR.
The top three periodicals of the genre – Kumudam, Ananda Vikatan and Kungumam – have lost 5.87 lakh readers combined in a year's time. However, Aval Vikatan and Junior Vikatan have witnessed marginal growth in AIR as compared to the previous quarter. The Tamil edition of India Today has also not seen much acceptance among the readers, registering a decline of 22 per cent in its AIR as compared to last year.
Kumudam Bhakti Special and Sakthi Vikatan have also witnessed growth in AIR over the previous quarter.

I'm also working on thin provisioning in bcache. It's functional now but not production ready, pending the copying garbage collector which I'm working on now. For now it'll only be suitable for flash though, as it uses the same allocation code as the caching code and assumes efficient random reads. > Anyway, even if bcache remains to be a standalone (non-DM) block device > in the future I'll have a look at it with an eye toward code sharing > that might allow other caching layers to build on a common layer.

I've been working on making bcache's b+tree and other code more modular for building other things around it. It's gotten quite fast, capable of somewhere north of a million lookups per second. > That said I'm also open to porting bcache to DM... but time will tell. > I'll grab the latest bcache code and jump on the linux-bcache list and > we can take it one step at a time. I'm not averse to a dm interface for bcache (though I don't really see the usefulness myself)... I could definitely spend some time walking you through code and improving documentation, if you're interested.

Why is Akili Smith not on this list???
Corey Dillon was sick of the Bengals' nickle-and-dime operation. The Bengals were a miserable team with a miserable front office. Dillon simply didn't want to put up with that any more.
He wasn't quiet about his dislike of the organization, and that's why some fans still hate him. But he said things that needed to be said.
Throwing his jersey into the crowd was excessive and unnecessary, but I give the guy a lot of slack for having the guts to say the Bengals organization sucked and he wasn't going to deal with it any more.

I think a lot of fans were still in Dillon's corner right up until half way through his last season, when the Bengals were finally showing that they were heading in the right direction. Instead of being happy that they were finally winning, he cried about not getting his carries. All that time talking about wanting to be on a winner and then when his team finally makes a playoff run, he's whining about not getting his reps and causing problems in the locker room. Add to that throwing his gear into the stands, oh and going on national TV wearing a Raiders jersey and calling Willie Anderson a "chump." This is a guy who laid his body out on the line for Dillon so he could get his yards and Dillon's thanks is to insult him on his way out of town.Originally Posted by Johnny Footstool
Don't forget about his statement about how he'd rather "flip burgers" than play for the Bengals earlier in his career. There are alot of people out there who do flip burgers who would gladly take Dillon's talent and be happy to play a game for a living. Right up there with Takeo Spikes talking about "getting his slave papers" to get out of Cincinnati. It's not indentured servitude. It's football. Get over yourself.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
All of them!

He helped the Patriots to a Super Bowl championship. He struggled through injuries this season (like most of his teammates) and played hurt.All that time talking about wanting to be on a winner and then when his team finally makes a playoff run, he's whining about not getting his reps and causing problems in the locker room.
The Patriots aren't the kind of team who would tolerate dissention. If Corey were causing problems, he would be on the bench.
I'm not saying he's the classiest guy in the world. But I do admire him for calling out the Bengals organization for the flea-circus it was.

Justin Bieber's One Time Lime Nail Polish Is Perfect For St. Patrick's Day
Found: The Perfect St. Patrick's Day Nail Polish
Now, let's be clear: as a woman well out of her teen years, I do not have Justin Bieber fever. But within myself, I have discovered an unexpected affinity toward many of Justin's nail polishes from his crazy-popular One Less Lonely Girl collection from Nicole by OPI. The newly-released One Time Lime ($7), described as a "vibrant lime that's worth your time," is no exception. It's bright and cheery without being too neon-like; it's creamy and opaque, but not in a muted or dated sort of way. In essence, it's a true green with just a touch of yellow — and it would be perfect decorating your nails while out drinking a beer (or several) on St. Patrick's Day. Justin will just have to wait a few years to celebrate with us.
