Insurance that Protects Your Business
General liability insurance protects your business assets in the event that there is a claim or judgment against your business. Often referred to as "business liability insurance, commercial insurance, asset protection insurance, or shareholder insurance" because it does exactly that, protects assets and shareholders.
Not only does business liability insurance protect you from most of the terrible events you can imagine, but also events that you can't imagine. In Legal terms there is a criminal wrong, which everybody is familiar with, and there is a civil wrong, often called Tort. Civil lawsuits typically do not result in jail time but often in judgments or rulings where one party is awarded damages. Negligence is the most common civil wrong. Business liability insurance can help protect your businesses from the ruinous and devastating effects of large negligence lawsuits.
Negligence Coverage
Commercial or business liability insurance can cover you against negligence. One simple example of negligence would be the classic example of somebody slipping in your place of business. While you may not have done anything to contribute to this person falling or any injury that was a result, you may be liable. The person who fell may say your floor was more than reasonably damp, or that a floor mat had a bump in it. Another example is as simple as somebody walking into your place of work as somebody else is walking out. In this example both parties may be injured and make the claim that the door didn't have the proper safe guards or signs to prevent the injury.
It can literally happen that fast, your business can be the defendant in a negligence case, and you could lose all you worked so hard for. Not only does this happen everyday, but negligence lawsuits are among the fastest growing categories of lawsuits being filed today. So how do you form a comprehensive liability insurance strategy to protect your business? The answer varies state by state. In many states, business liability insurance is required by law. It is absolutely critical both for affordability of your policy but also for your protection to get insured in the correct category.
For example, if your business sells some goods but also some services, what percentage of your business revenue comes from the products versus the services can have a significant impact on your premiums. Another example would be if your manufacturing business makes consumer plastics but your business is classified as a business manufacturing company instead of a consumer manufacturing company. This simple misclassification in your policy, which is one small line item, could double your premiums. It is important to work with an insurer that had a good understanding of your business and risk profile so your business be properly categorized and insured.
Many vendors, strategic partners, and outsourcers require that your business have commercial insurance simply to enter into an agreement, as they understand you may not be able to fulfill your obligations if your assets are seized in a legal battle. Often there is a cost advantage if business liability insurance is combined with worker' s compensation insurance, but not always. In most states business liability insurance also known as a Business Owner' s Policy or (BOP) breaks down into three large categories.
The Three Primary Categories of Business Insurance
- General Liability Insurance
- Professional Liability Insurance
- Product Liability Insurance
Let's examine each in turn. General liability insurance is the primary coverage vehicle for a business. This type of policy can cover; slander, libel, personal damages, property damages and miscellaneous other injuries you or your employees may have caused by accident or through negligence.
Professional liability insurance covers employers or business owners that provide services to their clients. A good example of a person that may need professional liability insurance might be a doctor, lawyer, consultant, architect, general contractor, or salon owner. Professional liability can cover errors or omissions made by the professional during the course of his everyday work.
Product liability insurance, this form of insurance protects a business against suits and claims based on an injury or wrong caused by product a business creates and/or sells. A notable example would be the millions that presidential candidate John Edwards' client was awarded as a plaintiff. In this case, the jury found that a tiny rubber piece of pool equipment contributed to the death of a small child. Product liability insurance has a very wide range of coverage and cost depending on the specific risk profile of your business. Also if your business is a specialty or niche business it may be harder to find affordable insurance, as there are less comparable reference companies for the insurance underwriter. That is why it is important to work with acompany that specializes specifically in commercial insurance, such as BusinessLiabilityInsurance.org.
What is Covered By Business Liability Insurance
The expenses that can be covered will vary, but typically you should look for the following to be included:
- Judgments, damages and awards
- Court fees
- Legal and attorney fees
- Lost productivity
- Transportation costs
- Lost profit
- Loss of use of damaged property
Lastly, there are many small things you can do to greatly reduce your liability expense. For example, you can follow insurer' s recommendations and increase safety precautions at your work place and install the proper protection devices, such as: radon detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors.There are other ways to make a dent in your insurance cost, by hiring outside consultants to create risk reduction reviews and implementing their suggestions. Also consider having your vendors and clients sign agreements that limit your risk exposure, and suggest that your partners, clients, and vendors agree to settle any potential conflicts through biding arbitration. It can also help to have your vendors, partners, and clients name you as an insured party on their insurance. If your business is named on any other companies policy as an insured party, be sure to mention that to your insurance agent as it can help reduce your business insurance premiums.

Man kills estranged wife at Katy's Tompkins High
He then commits suicide after standoff
A man shot his estranged wife to death at a Katy high school on Friday morning, then killed himself at a home in Brookshire after a standoff with police, officials said.
Relatives identified the dead woman as Valerie Robinson, 42, and her estranged husband as 54-year-old Gregory Robinson.
The couple's marriage had been troubled, said Clarissa Coleman, Valerie Robinson's sister. She said the couple had been married about 27 years.
Valerie Robinson arrived for work about 6:10 a.m. at Tompkins High School, 4400 Falcon Landing, when her estranged husband approached in the parking lot and shot her, officials said. He then was seen driving away in a pickup.
Valerie Robinson worked in the school cafeteria, according to Steve Stanford, spokesman for the Katy Independent School District.
Two coaches performed CPR on the woman, who was later pronounced dead at Katy Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Rifle found at scene
Authorities tracked her husband to a home in Brookshire.
He held them at bay until about 10:30 a.m., when a SWAT team entered the home and found his body in the front bedroom. Robinson had shot himself in the head, according to DPS Sgt. John Sampa. It was not immediately known if a .22-caliber rifle found at the scene was the weapon used at the school.
Coleman said the couple often argued and her sister would leave their home determined to end the relationship. But she returned each time, mainly because the women's father lived with the couple.
Coleman said her sister's husband lost his job at a chemical plant that closed about two years ago.
Stormy relationship
The couple recently fought and her sister had moved out of the house, Coleman said. She said her sister planned to leave her husband and that he had been stalking her sister, often following her to the school where she worked.
Laticia Upshaw grew up with Valerie Robinson, and described her as a loving, caring person who liked going to work and getting the cafeteria prepared for students.
"She never had any bad vibes toward anyone," said Upshaw, a security officer at Katy High School.
Kendra McKinney said she had known the Robinsons for a long time, and they had always seemed happy.
"Nobody would ever expect this because she was a sweet lady and he was a good guy," McKinney said.

The Strawberry Blanket
Sharing a Slice of Life
There are no finer memories than spending the night at Grandma's house. She had things we didn't at home… like trundle beds! And when she pulled out the bottom bed, she always pulled the Strawberry Blanket out of the back of the closet as well.
I loved that Strawberry Blanket for as long as I remember. There was nothing particularly special about it, at that time, except that it had strawberries on it and I loved strawberries. Now, of course, it also has all the memories associated with it, particularly being tucked in so warm and safe by the most wonderful Grandma that God ever created.
When my mom cleaned out Grandma and Grandpa's house after their passing, she gifted me with the Strawberry Blanket – which by then had become the Strawberry Blankets. For some unknown reason, Grandma had cut it into two, and whatever backing the blanket used to have was gone. So I bought some fabric and put backs on each of them. They spend most of their time in the back of MY closet now, but it's surprising how comforting these blankets still are, like a hug from far, far away. I think it's time to move them to the front of the closet, and get them ready for the next generation of kids who need a warm, snuggly hug.

Nothing like a comfy, comforting blanket or quilt. I remember how wonderful they feel. Thanks for the memories!ReplyDelete
That is one wonderful quilt. Thanks for sharing it with us.ReplyDelete
I can feel the hugs now - reminds me of my Aunt Lynn. Great take on the prompt - Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
Great story. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
What a fun memory. I wonder why she cut it into two pieces. Perhaps it became worn on the fold? I like the quilt underneath the strawberry blanket in your photo, too.ReplyDelete
I loved this story. Thank you for sharing your warm memories of your Grandma. It reminds me of mine.ReplyDelete
Love the blanket, and I can so relate to the comfort they bring. Thanks for sharing. Glad you were the recipient of the blessing.ReplyDelete
Love this, it brought back some memories to me that I thought were forgotten but I guess I will need to "brush them off" and bring them into the light also! thanks again...ReplyDelete

I've noticed something about The Evil Spawn lately.
She is growing up (sad, I know).
With this comes the inevitable. She will spend more time with her peers and less time with her parents (this part isn't completely sad… but we try not to tell her as to not hurt her feelings).
She's at the age where she wants to be around her friends all the time. Sleepovers, parties, movies, etc.
She even likes to arrive at her games early so she can spend more time with her teammates.
But, I've noticed something.
The girls she plays with like to be in the same general area, but they don't spend much time talking to each other.
Everyone has an iPod. Or iPad. Or iSomething.
While they are in the same general area, they aren't really together.
They all have their own apps. Or music. Or TV show to watch.
This is fine by me because they are quiet. Which is a huge bonus if you have ever lived with an 11 year old girl.
But what will they be like in the future?
Will they continue to be around people but not directly communicate?
Will they go off to college and never speak to their roommates.
Instead of meeting new people as they get older, will they continue to text or contact their friends from home while ignoring people who are 3 feet away from them?
How will they act as adults? Will they know their neighbors? Will they interact with other parents?
Even more confusing to me, how will they be when they are old?
Are we raising a group of children who will become the first generation of nursing home residents who sit together but never speak to one other?
It's possible they may be way too busy downloading apps to talk to their grandchildren.
Of course, by then, there may not be apps.
Or grandchildren.
Because they really don't interact.

It's natural to have many questions about funeral plan options. We're here to help answer those questions and make suggestions you may not have considered.
Here are just a few of the many questions we answer every day.
What is the difference between burial and cremation?
Burial and cremation are the end disposition of the body and are a matter of personal choice. You may have visitation and a funeral service followed by either cremation or burial. The costs will vary only slightly.
Do you offer rental caskets?
Yes. We have a rental casket selection. This allows you to have a casket that is suitable for visitation and a funeral service without purchasing a casket.
How do we plan for a meaningful and appropriate funeral service?
Every one of us has lived a unique life and therefore every funeral service should reflect that unique life. Memory tables, picture boards and video memorials all help us remember. Our funeral home is your home while you're visiting with us and we will help create a unique and comfortable environment in your visitation suite.
The funeral service can be a place to celebrate the life that was lived. Eulogies, poems, music and readings help to make a meaningful ceremony.
Do we have to use a vault at the cemetery?
Each cemetery has their own regulations regarding the use of vaults. We can provide you with the various options available.
Together we can ensure your funeral is a unique reflection of your life and your wishes are fulfilled.

Hi Chris
Took delivery of the car yesterday - I love it.
I wanted to thank you for everything that you did. The process was very smooth and as always communication was excellent. I should also mention Juliet who was extremely helpful and responsive.
Peter Liddle
I had dealt with First Vehicle Finance before and on both occasions I have found the service to be excellent. They listen to the requirements and deliver.
Will Chan
FVF have been suppyling our vehicles for the last 9 years. They make everything seem so easy and straight forward. They even brought a car to us to test drive when all the local dealers did not have the car we were looking for. The team are so helpful and friendly.
I recommended FVF to a family member and a neighbour from which both have said how pleased they were with the service they received. If you are looking for a small hatchback or a prestige car the service is all the same which is first class. We look forward to dealing with Chris and the team for many years to come.
Dean Nash
My truck back has now had the top installed. I can honestly say it's now my favourite car I've owned (over my RS5)
And I can't thank you enough for your hard and consistent service you've offered me. Please don't change your ways. You're a great company to deal with. Hats off to Will for battling hard for my custom. I wasn't an easy client.
Will be in touch in the next month for another truck and van
Jamie B @ Prestige
Will kept my details on file and contacted me as soon as a deal became available on a car closest to my specification. After that, the whole process was pain free.
Stuart Young
I am a company car user and have 2 cars with First Finance and regularly speak to Richard Mayle and Juliet via email,in the last few weeks I purchased a car for my wife, very happy with the car everything from start to finish happened so easily and efficiently. Fantastic service.
Pete Patel
Good Morning Chris
Just reporting back on my new company car I recieved from you yesterday. Very impressed on the model and spec of the car,what is also incredible is that its a bigger engine than my previouse model yet it has a lower emission output.This is good from a tax point but also better for the enviroment.The MPG is also better so that will result in operating cost for the company being lower. I have to say that when my old car was collected it was a bit sad as it had given me 3 years of trouble free motoring.I had not even had to change one single light bulb on the car during that time.Look forward to the next three years of motoring with my new car. Thanks again for all the help with giving me and my colleques all the P11D information for us to send to the HMRC office regarding personal taxation liability and the delivery was right on the day specified.
Best Regards
Gary Day
Gary Day
I am would just like to say thank you to First Vehicle Finance for organising my new car that arrived this week.
This is now the second car I have had from you and on both occasions, I found Will and Rob to be professional and efficient in the way that they dealt with my order.
I will continue to recommend your service to my friends, family and colleagues in the future.
Vicki Brett
Hi Will I am currently out the country working, I have been in regular contact with my wife she told me that the transfer of the vehicles went down without a hitch, unfortunately I was in Iraq when this all happened so as yet I have not seen the car in the flesh, but I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help from start to finish of the process, I had a good experience the first time I dealt with you and have had another flawless experience this time and I look forward to dealing with you again in another 3 years thanks agaim Will.
Archie Tannock

Had a great experience with First Vehicle Finance. I wasn't really sure what I wanted in terms of payment options, all I knew was that I wanted a new car! This was my first experience in financing a car, so obviously a bit apprehensive about what I was getting myself into. But Will was really helpful in explaining the different finance options they have to offer. I learned of the different payment profiles, monthly instalments, leasing contracts, all down to the nitty gritty. After this, I decided to go with FVF. The process was really easy, straightforward, and if I had question, they were more than happy to help, and quickly. Then I learned they deliver your car free of charge! Which saved me arranging a ride to the garage to collect :) All in all, great service and would recommend to family and friends.

What is known about explicit (not necessarily closed-form) solutions to the recurrence $$R^n_k= (\alpha n) R^{n-1}_k + (\alpha' n + \beta' k) R^{n-1} _{k-1},$$ with initial condition $R_0^0 = 1$ and with $R^n_k = 0$ for $n < 0$ or $k < 0$? Special cases of this are closely related to recurrences satisfied by some interesting combinatorial numbers, such as the binomial coefficients and the Stirling numbers.
The more general recurrence $$R^n_k= (\alpha n + \beta k + \gamma) R^{n-1}_k + (\alpha' n + \beta' k + \gamma') R^{n-1} _{k-1},$$
is open Problem 6.94 in Concrete Mathematics (2nd edition, p. 319).
The closest published result I have found thus far is the following formula due to Neuwirth ("Recursively defined combinatorial functions: Extending Galton's board," Discrete Mathematics, 2001) for the case $\alpha' = 0$ of the Concrete Mathematics problem,
$$R^n_k = \prod_{i=1}^k (\beta' i + \gamma') \sum_{i=0}^n \sum_{j=0}^n s^n_i \binom{i}{j} S^j_k \alpha^{n-i} (\gamma - \alpha)^{i-j} \beta^{j-k},$$
which, of course, gives me an answer to my question when $\alpha'=0$. (Here, $s^n_i$ and $S^j_k$ are unsigned Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, respectively.)
I have tried generating functions without any success thus far. An answer like Neuwirth's that involves sums and binomial coefficients or Stirling numbers would be fine, as would a partial answer or just another idea to try.

Hudson Soft human mascot Takahashi Meijin is leaving Hudson. His gaming nickname might be staying put.
In 2005, Hudson, which is now owned by Konami, copyrighted the name "Takashi Meijin", thus making that moniker the property of Takahashi's former employer.
According to Japanese website Get News, Konami's past copyright attempts have raised gamer ire. At one point, the company tried to copyright "visual novel", a move that was rejected by the Japanese patent office.
Since "Takahashi Meijin" is owned by Hudson and Konami, it's unclear what this means when Takahashi leaves the company. Perhaps his nickname's English translation "Famous Takahashi" or his other moniker "Master Higgins" are permissible.
Toshiyuki Takahashi, his real name, doesn't quite have the same ring to it...

Wonky eyes and glasses
As noted by Jacek, I have a wonk eye too. And there's nothing subtle about it, also more noticeable when I wear glasses. Wish I could wear glasses all the time, but it's simply not practical. Duana had the laser surgery a few years ago and it changed her life. I dream about it a lot but am too scared. And there's a feng shui association with the eyes so my mother has outlawed the procedure.
If only I could wear my glasses as beautifully as Lucy Liu wears hers. I like the way it magnifies her wonk. I love the way she didn't give a sh-t about magnifying her wonk on a red carpet, here at The Public Theatre Annual Gala last night in New York, ageless in that signature Asian way, as we really don't show it until we hit 60, at which point we accelerate to 80 in the space of 2 months.
This recently happened to my mother. She is exactly 60. And it happened. Like they flipped a switch and decided it was time. It's the most amazing phenomenon. They should make a tv show about the Asian aging process. Like follow an Asian lady the last 3 months of her life before she turns 60 and the 3 months after she turns 60. It'd be a fascinating science project.
Lucy just finished shooting a movie with Michael C Hall called East Fifth Bliss and is only one year younger than Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman.

Excellent find from David Pinto at Baseball Musings (which we wholeheartedly endorse as THE site to read for great live updates and commentary during night playoff games; his post today comparing the Doug Eddings incident and computer pattern recognition is fantastic): Apparently an employee of Topps baseball card company is a Yankees fan and is also in charge of deciding which player card receives which number.
Well, he's got this pattern, you see: He takes the player who was responsible for the Yankees being booted from the playoffs, and he gives them the number 666. So two years ago, it was the Marlins' Josh Beckett, last year it was Boston's Keith Foulke and this year it's LAofA's Francisco Rodriguez. We will ignore the irony of a Yankees fan giving the sign of the beast to someone else and simply point out that when the year comes that the Yankees don t make the playoffs, and end up six games out with a week to play, whom does he choose then? Cashman? Michael Kay? We d go with Michael Kay.

Mainers to testify at DC hearing on phone scam
York Co. chief deputy, victim testify about their experiences
Two Mainers are in Washington to testify at a hearing about a phone scam originating out of Jamaica.
York County Chief Deputy Bill King and Kim Nichols, of Hermon, are testifying Wednesday at a hearing before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, which is co-chaired by Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.
King has investigated scam reports, and Nichols will testify how her elderly father was cheated out of $85,000.
Officials say scam artists calling from area code 876 in Jamaica prey on victims by saying they've won a lottery or a car but need to make payments to cash in.
FairPoint Communications phone company has a website, www.bewareof876.com, offering tips on how to avoid becoming a victim. FairPoint Maine President Mike Reed will provide written testimony to the committee.

From The Editor
By Carol Berkin
Urbanization is a major theme in modern American history and it is intimately connected to such events as the revolutions in transportation and manufacturing and the expansion of our borders to the Pacific Ocean and the Rio Grande. In the colonial era, America's cities were primarily Atlantic seaboard ports, but canals and railroads created major metropolises in the center of the country, and westward expansion added cities like San Francisco, San Antonio, and Denver. Today, America is an urban society. Yet each city and each town in our country has its own character, and each carries its own special history.
In this issue of History Now, our historians focus on the character and history of six American cities: New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Antonio, Detroit, and New Orleans. Woven into their unique histories are key elements of our nation's political, social and economic history. But the stories of these cities do not exhaust the possibilities. It is our belief that students across the country can use the study of their own towns and cities to illuminate important developments in our national past.
In "Revolutionary Philadelphia," Ray Raphael brings eighteenth-century Philadelphia to life. Philadelphia was a thriving seaport with artisans and merchants, slaves and servants, but it is remembered today as the political center of the revolution and the early republic. Thousands of Americans and foreign visitors still flock to Independence Hall to see where patriots like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton labored to create a republic. Char Miller's essay, "Remembering the Alamo," focuses on a different revolution: the struggle for Texas independence. Miller shows us how the Alamo remains a contested symbol, claimed sometimes as a triumph of white over Hispanic culture and of Protestantism over Catholicism, but is recognized today as a struggle by men and women of many cultures and religions for self-determination. In his essay, "Coming to America: Ellis Island and New York City," Vincent Cannato chooses the point of entry for thousands of immigrants as the symbol of New York's -- and America's -- multiculturalism. From its inception in 1891, the immigration facility on Ellis Island was the first stop for those eager to make their homes and their fortunes in the United States. Robert Cherny turns our attention to San Francisco in his essay "San Francisco and the Great Earthquake of 1906." While many of us who live in other parts of the country associate the city with the Gold Rush, trolley cars, and the Golden Gate Bridge, Cherny argues that its defining moment was a natural disaster. The earthquake that destroyed lives and property— and almost destroyed the morale of the city's residents — forcefully reminds us that the built environment is always affected by the natural environment. In "Detroit: America's Motor City," Thomas Sugrue traces the rise and decline of "Motown," showing us the impact of the automobile industry on the lives of generations of Detroit residents. In Detroit's history, we can see the role of industrialization, unionization, and globalization in American life. Finally, in "New Orleans and the History of Jazz," Loren Schoenberg traces the rise of a distinctly American musical genre in the south's most effervescent city. Schoenberg points to the irony in the fact that the music that began in "Nawlins" was used by musicians from around the world to raise funds for the rebuilding of the city after the destruction by the hurricane Katrina.
For our interactive feature, Karina Gaige has designed a map of urban expansion which looks at the most populous cities in the US over the past 200 years. Look to Mary-Jo Kline's column for multiple sources, both online and in the libraries, that can be used to build lessons on these cities. This issue's master teachers have provided you with their lesson choices, each of them readily adapted to your classroom. We hope that these character studies of six cities will inspire you to create a lesson on your own town or city.

Academic Advising
First-year and second-year students are advised through the First and Second Year Advising.
Academic advising for juniors, seniors and transfer students is handled in the undergraduate Assistant Dean's office of the Quinlan School of Business. The initiation of timely class withdrawals, changes in courses, and filing of degree applications are all matters specifically requiring the dean's approval. Declarations of majors and minors should be made.
The undergraduate office is the primary point of contact for all matters that relate to degree requirements in the Quinlan School of Business. Students with any questions or concerns regarding academics, such as courses, scheduling, majors or minors, etc., should consult with the Assistant Dean's office.
School Requirements
Writing and Writing-Intensive Courses: In order to graduate from the Quinlan School of Business, students ordinarily must complete three writing courses. These include: UCWR 110, or the equivalent; and two writing-intensive courses. UCWR 110 must be taken in the freshman year and must be completed with a grade of "C-" or better before any writing-intensive course may be taken.
Designated sections of courses are taught with a special emphasis on writing. Students in these courses will have a variety of writing assignments that will be integrated closely with the learning objectives of the course. The purpose of the program is to assure that students continue to give attention to writing as an essential component of education throughout their years at Loyola.
In order to ensure that training in writing is spread throughout the undergraduate years, the program specifies that no more than one writing-intensive course per semester may be applied to this requirement. Transfer students should consult with the dean's office about how the writing-intensive requirement applies to them. Each student must complete at least one of their writing intensive courses with a SBA course or ENGL 210 (Business Writing). The other writing intensive course may come from any discipline.
Freshmen and transfer students with 59 or fewer transfer credit hours must take two writing-intensive courses during their undergraduate career at Loyola; transfer students with 60-89 transfer credit hours must take one writing-intensive course during their undergraduate career at Loyola; transfer students with 90 or more transfer credit hours are exempt from taking writing-intensive courses. For further information, transfer students should consult their academic advisor.

The world's lead manufacturer of chemicals for the metal finishing and electroplating industry has just signed a major research contract with Case Western Reserve University, aimed at developing novel chemistries and processes that will enable the manufacturing of smaller semiconductor devices than heretofore possible in routine production.
Such smaller semiconductors are critical to the fabrication of more powerful and more capable computers, phones and other electronic devices.
Atotech Deutschland GmbH, headquartered in Berlin, a global company with 4000 employees, has been collaborating with researchers at Case Western Reserve University for the past six years on developing improved chemistries and characterization techniques for advanced metallization of semiconductor devices by electroplating.
These processes provide via electroplating the nano-scale copper-wire network that distributes the current within the semiconductor device. However, as future generation devices become increasingly smaller, the electroplating technique will be reaching its limit at around 22 nanometer devices, which will soon be in commercial production.
To provide further miniaturization, Case Western Reserve University and Atotech will jointly explore the application of a metallization technology, called electroless deposition, for metalizing semiconductor features smaller than 22 nanometers.
Electroless deposition uses a chemical reaction instead of an electric current to deposit metal layers on devices such as computer chips. Since no electrical current is required to deposit the metal, stand-alone, isolated features can be metalized. The new research will address challenges such as the generation of a high-nucleation density electroless layer to assure sufficient contact and uniform deposition in extremely thin layers, only a few hundred atoms thick.
"The university has the capability to address and resolve the challenges we face in applying this technology," said Robert Preisser, Atotech's vice president in charge of semiconductor technology. "We are prepared to invest, help develop, and then implement the new technology."
Case Western Reserve and Atotech have had a long-term successful relationship. Uziel Landau, chair of the university's chemical engineering department, has worked jointly with Atotech on technology which enables them to electroplate and characterize electrochemical processes used on small scales.
"In conventional electroplating, metals are plated by passing a current" Landau said. "In semiconductor technology applications this technique works down to about 22 nanometer copper interconnect structures."
Continuing down the path of smaller devices requires a whole new technology, Preisser said.
"Electroless deposition has great potential to be used to fabricate extremely small structures that are less than 10 nanometers in size", said Rohan Akolkar, an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering. Akolkar recently joined Case Western Reserve University after spending many years at Intel's R&D division in Portland, where he led research teams focused on developing novel interconnect strategies.
"A major challenge, and opportunity, for us is to understand the complex electrochemistry in electroless deposition. This electrochemistry is key to enabling smaller, but also more reliable interconnects allowing us to extend Moore's law further" Akolkar said.
Moore's law is an observation that the number of transistors that fit on a chip doubles about every 18 months.
As they did with electroplating, the new venture will explore fundamental and applied science for fabricating the smaller semiconductors. The researchers will investigate chemicals that utilize selective reactions to precisely lay down metal layers on the nanoscale.
"During our years of collaboration, we have accomplished significant progress in the scientific understanding of the nanoscale metallization processes" Preisser said. That relationship will continue and will be further expanded, he added.
Landau said Case Western Reserve University has more faculty involved in electrochemical technology research as a major thrust than any other university in the country. They include researchers in chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, chemistry, and macromolecular science and engineering, who are often collaborating together to address multidisciplinary projects. The new research program will take advantage of these broad scientific capabilities.
"This is multidisciplinary research; one needs to understand metal structures, chemical reactions, surface interactions, and fluid dynamics," Landau said. "It's at the interface of different disciplines."
The research program will centrally involve four faculty members from chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, and the macromolecular science and engineering departments. In addition to the graduate students involved in the research, Atotech will dedicate several of its own scientists to the program, who will be on-site at Case actively participating in the research and facilitating the collaboration and communication between the university and the company.
Atotech employs 4,000 employees in nearly 40 countries. The company turns over $1.2 billion annually. It spends the equivalent of 10 to 12 percent of annual sales on research and development.
Case Western Reserve University is one of the country's leading private research institutions. Located in Cleveland, we offer a unique combination of forward-thinking educational opportunities in an inspiring cultural setting. Our leading-edge faculty engage in teaching and research in a collaborative, hands-on environment. Our nationally recognized programs include arts and sciences, dental medicine, engineering, law, management, medicine, nursing and social work. About 4,200 undergraduate and 5,600 graduate students comprise our student body. Visit case.edu to see how Case Western Reserve thinks beyond the possible.

I was reading an Android tutorial and came across this block of code:
protected Dialog onCreateDialog( int id ) { return new AlertDialog.Builder( this ) .setTitle( "Planets" ) .setMultiChoiceItems( _options, _selections, new DialogSelectionClickHandler() ) .setPositiveButton( "OK", new DialogButtonClickHandler() ) .create(); }
Can someone explain how this works? How can you invoke the setTitle(), setMultiChoiceItems(), and other methods like this without specifying an object name. I'm sure it's correct -- I've just never seen it before.
Normally I would do something like:
protected Dialog onCreateDialog( int id ) { Dialog d = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); d.setTitle( "Planets" ); d.setMultiChoiceItems( _options, _selections, new DialogSelectionClickHandler() ); d.setPositiveButton( "OK", new DialogButtonClickHandler() ) d.create(); return d; }
Does anyone know what that type of initialization used in the tutorial is called so I can read about it? I tried to look it up in a java reference book but couldn't find anything on it.
Thanks for your help.

There are constant changes, additions, and more going on behind the scenes that our guests may not notice during their visit. We want to share these fun updates with our community so we're bringing them to you in our weekly Animal Update posts! Check our blog every Friday to find out what's going on... here's what's new this week! Long-spined sea urchins We have two new long-spined sea urchins in our Surviving Through Adaptation exhibit. Sea urchins provide a safe home for species like the Banggai cardinalfish. A threatened species found only in the waters of the Banggai islands in Indonesia, the cardinalfish retreat among the spines of the sea urchin when threatened. Linkia sea stars We have two new sea stars in our Pacific Coral Reef exhibit. Relatives to the sea urchin, sea stars are invertebrates and echinoderms (meaning they have calcified, spiny skin). Sea stars have an amazing ability to regenerate arms when they are severed, or an arm could potentially grow a new body in some species. They have many tube feet extending from the ventral surface. The tube feet allow locomotion via suction created by an internal water-driven hydraulic system. What's your favorite species of invertebrate? Tell us in the comments section!

Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacture is the way things are made these days. Without this technology we wouldn't have the range and quality of products available or, at least, they wouldn't be available at a price most of us can afford.
Bench-marking is simply the comparison of one organisation's practices and performance against those of others. It seeks to identify standards or 'best practices' to apply in measuring and improving performance.
Jet Engine is a machine that converts energy-rich, liquid fuel into a powerful pushing force called thrust. The thrust from one or more engines pushes a plane forward, forcing air past its wings to create an upward force that powers it into the sky.
Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts the vehicle speed in order to maintain a set distance from the car in front. ACC also called autonomous cruise control, radar cruise control, traffic-aware cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control.
The circuit may be used to automatically switch on a light at the entrance gate to the premises at night by sensing the presence of a person. In addition, it sounds an alarm to signify the presence of a person.
Embedded System is basically a system of hardware and software designed for control and access of data. As a system it includes a controller as the brain. This controller chip can be a PIC microcontroller, 8051 controller, ASICs, ARM, or any type of FPGA.

Lathe is one of the most versatile and widely used machine tools all over the world. It is commonly known as the mother of all other machine tool.
There is an important need for clean, pure drinking water in many developing countries. Often water sources are brackish (i.e. contain dissolved salts) and/or contain harmful bacteria and therefore cannot be used for drinking.
In this paper, the heat pipe working parameters are analyzed using Taguchi methodology. The Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental work, analyze the effect of working parameters of the heat pipe and predict the optimal parameter.
Our project goal is to develop a miniature solar panel to be installed onto the cell phone itself. This way, the phone can charge independently; independent of power outlets and independent of wires.
The paper deals with manufacturing or bending of sheet metal by using power operated sheet bending machine. Especially discussion made the productivity analysis of manually or power operated sheet bending machine.
Wireless connectivity is also a conundrum for mobile designers. While the designer can control the CPU, RAM, disk, and battery in his device, wireless connectivity is often provided by another party.
The light following robot is a capable of detecting and following the light source on the traveling path. It is developed without the help of a micro-controller for providing easier connections and understanding of the circuit.
This paper deals with automatic railway gate operation implemented in unmanned level crossings at remote areas. Detection of train approaching the gate can be sensed by means of sensors placed on side of the track.
Clutch is used to engage or disengage the engine to the transmission. When the clutch is engaged, the engine power is transmitted to gear box and then to wheels. When clutch is disengaged, the engine power does not reach to gear box and to wheels.

Church agencies and analysts have warned that an agreement signed four years ago to put an end to a two-decade long civil war in Sudan is threatened with breakdown, thereby endangering the already fragile Horn of Africa region. The pact, called the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, signed on 9 January 2005, ended a 22-year civil war between Sudan's central government and the Southern-based Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army.
"Without swift, decisive action by the international community there is a danger that the peace agreement will collapse and violence will escalate in Sudan," Gerrit Noltensmeier, the special representative for Sudan of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) said in a statement to mark the anniversary of the signing of the pact.
More than 2 million people died in the conflict and more than 4 million were driven from their homes. The civil war pitted the largely Muslim north against southerners, many of whom are Christians and those who practice traditional religions. The peace pact stated that at the end of a six-year transition period there should be a referendum on independence for the semi-autonomous South Sudan region, after nationwide elections in 2009.
Noltensmeier said, however, that the attention of the agreement's international sponsors had been diverted by a separate conflict in Sudan's western Darfur province that has led to the deaths of an estimated 200 000 people and the displacement of many more
"Political leaders in Germany and the EU must urgently commit themselves to a long-term and sustainable policy on Sudan that looks at the whole of the country, that contributes to a political solution to the Darfur conflict, and that makes possible the full implementation of the CPA," he stated.
Wilfried Steen of the German Protestant Church Development Service (EED) said it was doubtful whether the 2009 elections would take place. He noted that the peace agreement had been endangered by fighting in 2008 around Abyei, at Sudan's north-south border, and which is home to rival ethnic groups living on land with rich deposits of oil.
Separately, Britain's Chatham House international affairs institute warned on 9 January that civilians in all regions of Sudan face a serious risk of renewed violence and conflict if the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement fails.
"Ambitious plans to invest in the impoverished periphery have not created tangible changes. National reconciliation has been shelved," stated the report, written by Sudan expert Edward Thomas. He said that the two parties to the peace agreement had sought military guarantees to preserve gains, and had used oil wealth to build armies. "Delays in implementing preconditions for the elections - such as a census and the demarcation of the North–South border - have bunched together complex processes at the end of the interim period," he stated.

Hey everyone,
I want to create a class that would return an array of pairs that have the same length as the input array of strings.
In addition, the pair should have the first letter of the string and length of the string.
for example;
create(new String[] {"clue", "yay", "neon", "halala"})
should return the array of Pairs
So, my input and output would both be arrays. But the output has to be in the form of a pair. Here's what i tried:
import java.util.Arrays; public class Couple { public static Couple[] create(String[] source){ for (int i = 0; i < source.length; i++) { System.out.print("["+","+source.length+"]") ; } return null; } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(Arrays.toString(create(new String[] {"clue", "yay", "neon", "halala"}))); } }
as it's obvious there are a few errors+ i dont want it to return null. But just for the sake of testing this code, i had to do it.
Any ideas?

Hi folks
I switched to Sublime 2 about a week ago after years of using BBEdit. I'm really enjoying the simplicity, the speed and the powerful features and plugins.
I've customized a lot, gotten used to certain things, but some questions remain. If you can answer any of them, I would be very happy .
1. Auto completion
When typing something like $(' sublime automatically appends ') after the cursor, which is great. After I type my selector $('.my_selector|') (I marked where the cursor is red) - I still have to type either ') or super+→ to get the end of the line and continue writing, which kind of defies the point of autocompleting that statement in the first place (since I have to type it out anyway to keep going).
I would expect hitting tab to take me to the end of the line, but that doesn't work. Is there some shortcut to do this (get to the end of the line in this situation)?
2. Auto indentation
I like the auto-indentation, but it doesn't play nice with our company's coding conventions.
[code]function foo()
var o = {
something: 'else',
b: true
Writing something like this is problematic with Sublime Text:
function foo()
| <- this is where cursor is placed by auto indentation
| <- clicking an empty line within the function places the cursor here
| <- but this is where I would like it in both cases
Is it possible to customize this more granularly? I do not want to disable auto indentation alltogether. But this requires me to hit backspace everytime I write a new function or object. This is really bugging me, any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if I have to go hack the code somewhere to achieve this. I think an option like tab_size_within_structures: 0 is what I'm looking for.
3. Expand selection to scope
The shortcut super+shift+space is very handy. I would like it more if it would select the contents of quotes without the quotes though. So in this string 'this is a string' it would select the whole string with the quotes, instead of just this is a string. Is this possible?
4. Map file endings to syntax
In some cases, you want different syntax highlighting than Sublime automatically chooses. In BBEdit, you could map file endings to syntaxes globally, and if you changed it manually within a project, that setting was saved for the project workspace. For example I usually want JavaScript highlighting for .json files (instead of the default JSON highlighting). Is their any way to map this? Wouldn't it make sense to store manual overrides in the project workspace?
5. Syntax highlighting
For some reason, in PHP files, keywords are also highlighted within docblocks and some quotes. Example:
@param string Foo
@param is in a comment block so it shouldn't be highlighted imho. Can I change this somehow? In large PHP files it gets distracting when the comments are all highlighted up.
6. Code completion
Is it possible to write custom code completion files? I would love to extend e.g. the JavaScript code completion with the standard JS functions (e.g. getElementById()) or the jQuery methods. So if I type $.add, Sublime would suggest addClass to the list of names it suggests.
Thanks for any help on any of these issues!

Did you know there is a big disco ball hanging from the ceiling at Oracle Arena? I did not know about this big disco ball.
Anyway, during the third quarter of last night's Heat-Warriors game, a big-ass piece of that disco ball came crashing down to the floor and very nearly nailed Harrison Barnes. The sound of glass shattering is not something that one is used to hearing while watching a basketball game.
In retrospect, I suppose the incident can be seen as a bad omen of sorts, a signal of the destruction that awaited the Warriors.
