Chemistry Revealed
A2 level schools' chemistry workshop
Chemistry Revealed is an evolution of the highly successful 'Uncovering Chemical Secrets' (UCS) developed by Peter Hollamby and Peter Edwards in the School of Chemistry in association with Techniquest and which has been updated and improved over time, including the development of a comprehensive electronic teaching resource DVD which underpins it. The format and content is similar to UCS and the key concepts remain the same; i.e. it is a laboratory based practical exercise which introduces school pupils to analytical and spectroscopic techniques not available in most schools but which are directly relevant to A-level requirements.
The isolation of chemical compounds is important in a range of areas, including identification of contaminants in foodstuffs and the search for new pharmaceuticals. The 'Chemistry Revealed' workshop invites A level students to visit the School of Chemistry and to participate in a range of events centred around the isolation and identification of chemical compounds from natural sources.
The material is designed and focussed specifically on the A-level curriculum with relevant examples that give students the opportunity to work in a well-equipped teaching laboratory and extract compounds such as limonene from oranges and eugenol from cloves.
These compounds are then analysed using modern spectroscopic and analytical methods including as IR and NMR spectroscopy and gas chromatography. Students have the opportunity to see the equipment that is used to obtain these experimental data and spectra; they see how the machines are operated, how the data is obtained and processed and how the information is used in a modern context by chemists to identify compounds, determine purity and obtain deeper insight into the properties of chemical compounds.
The practical workshop occupies a whole day with a practical laboratory session in the morning supported by short lecture presentation and a tour and demonstration of the spectrometers and facilities in the afternoon. An extensive e-learning resource, developed specially as support of the workshop, is also available.
The next set of workshops will run from 10th – 21st September 2012.
Aspects of this event have previously been run under the 'Uncovering Chemical Secrets' banner. Information about this earlier event can be found at http://chemistrysecrets.blogspot.com/
The following poster examples were from previous 'Uncovering Chemical Secrets' workshops. For Chemistry Revealed, similar posters may be obtained from the School of Chemistry but updated to account for recent enhancements of the workshop and the current date etc.

Enter our handy-dandy mathematical equations for this week's summer premieres!
OK, you're probably thinking that math and TV don't mix, but you're sorely mistaken. One show you love (+) another show you love (+) actors you adore = awesome. A show you kind of like (-) the parts you like = pass. Simple as that.
Here, we've done the math on four shows premiering this week -- 'Weeds,' 'The Big C,' 'Melissa & Joey' and 'State of Georgia' -- so put away your calculator and set your DVRs. Or not.
'Breaking Bad' (-) 'True Life: I'm Addicted to Meth' (+) 'Prison Break' = 'Weeds'
Season 7 of 'Weeds' jumps forward in time three years, as Nancy adjusts to life after prison and sets up shop in NYC. Still dealing with the show's titular drug, there's an added element of suspense when you're an ex-con.
'Weeds' Season 7 premieres Mon., June 27, 10PM ET on Showtime
'Nurse Jackie' (-) 'ER' (+) Lifetime cancer movie = 'The Big C'
Showtime's comedy formula -- have a notable actress play a middle-class woman hiding a giant problem -- is starting to show its age these days, especially with this brittle "comedy" about a woman with cancer. We love Laura Linney, but the point of this series seems to be to give her a few dozen awards-bait scenes.
'The Big C' Season 2 premieres Mon., June 27, 10:30PM ET on Showtime
Recycled Sitcom Cliches (+) Charming Leads (+) More Episodes = 'Melissa & Joey' Season 1.5
'Melissa & Joey' doesn't try and pass itself off as anything that it's not. It's a straight, classic, cheesy sitcom with two charming leads and an often annoying laugh track. Season 1.5 is just more of the same ...
'Melissa & Joey' Season 1.5 premieres Wed., June 29, 8PM ET on ABC Family
Raven-Symone (+) any "girl tries to make it on Broadway" chick flick/lit/show = 'State of Georgia'
What happens when the powers of sitcom star Raven-Symone and chick lit author Jennifer Weiner combine? This delightful comedy about a Southern belle trying to make it in the big city, with a couple of Serious Issues thrown in. It's exactly as hammy as you think it'll be, but that's kind of comforting to know.
'State of Georgia' premieres Wed., June 29 at 8:30PM ET on ABC Family

Children & Adults with Disabilities
Sustainable Agriculture
Christ in the Garbage Ministries
|In 1999 Mustard Seed Communities expanded to Nicaragua to meet the needs of children with mental and physical disabilities, many of whom were abandoned. In cooperation with the local organizations, land was identified in a small neighborhood just outside of Managua and construction of a residential home began. MSC Nicaragua has since expanded to include a second home for children with disabilities in the town of Diriamba. MSC Nicaragua also assists families living within the Managua City dump through food package distributions and Resource Center for adult women of La Chureca.
Children & Adults with Disabilities
Hogar Belen Managua is located in San Antonio Sur and began operations in the year 2000. As the first location of MSC Nicaragua, Hogar Belen Managua provides residential accommodation and care for 30 children ranging in age from six months to sixteen years. The children have disabilities which include Down syndrome, microcephaly, cerebral palsy, hydrocephaly, autism and infantile cerebral paralysis. MSC Nicaragua has an occupational therapist on staff and the children receive a number of services such as horse therapy, hydrotherapy, interaction therapy and typical school classes depending on their needs and abilities.
In 2006, Mustard Seed Communities Nicaragua purchased a plot of land in the town of Diriamba to open a second home for children with disabilities. Located an hour outside of Managua, Hogar Belen Diriamba provides two types of accommodations for our residents. Those who are able to live semi independently have a cottage-style setting while the residents who need more care and attention live in a dorm-style setting. This provides an important degree of flexibility and allows us to cater to the unique needs of the residents we serve. Mustard Seed Communities also completed the construction of a Specialized Recreation Center in Diriamba. This type of building is crucial to the development of our children. Play therapy is used to help children with disabilities to develop a sense of strength and competency. It involves intensive play, coordination and motor skill activities and adaptations. Additionally, a chapel with a capacity of 150 people is on site to serve as a place of spiritual growth for our children and the surrounding community of Diriamba.
Starting in 2013, significant expansion is underway at MSC Nicaragua. The original building of Hogar Belen Managua suffered termite damage and eventually became unsafe for the children. The renovated property will consist of a brand new kitchen, following an update to the children's wing and laundry facility on site during 2012.
Sustainable Agriculture
As part of MSC's vision to make each country self-sustainable, Hogar Belen Diriamba has become a site of agricultural development. The planting and animal husbandry initiatives include pigs, broiler chickens and certain regional crops. The meat and produce currently provide for in-house consumption to meet the nutritional needs of our residents in Diriamba and Managua. In addition to the nutritional benefits of on-site farming, it also provides a degree of empowerment and responsibility for the residents. They have been involved in various stages of the sustainable agriculture program from clearing land to planting vegetables.
As the farming program grows, surplus produce will eventually be sold in the domestic market for income generation. The weather conditions in Diriamba present some challenges to this initiative, though we have had success with carrots, beans, sweet potatoes and squash. MSC Nicaragua staff is currently researching additional crops and techniques that may prove more fruitful in the Diriamba climate. Currently, some crafts and household items are sold on-site as another source of income to defray operating costs of the home.
Christ in the Garbage Ministries
All over the world, entire communities exist within massive urban garbage dumps. The people who live and work there sustain themselves by selling the things that others throw away and eating any food they can find. One of these garbage dump communities, known as La Chureca, has emerged in the city of Managua. La Chureca is approximately 20 miles from Hogar Belen Managua. The children of La Chureca work alongside their parents and have no access to education, medical treatment or nutritious food. The dump covers over 38 acres and is home to approximately 1,500 people, including many single mothers. Children comprise more than half of the population in La Chureca. Christ in the Garbage Ministries (CIGM) was formed in order to combat the grave issues of poverty and malnutrition while empowering the women of La Chureca to life themselves out of destitution and provide a better life for their families.
CIGM Nicaragua distributes monthly food packages to the people of La Chureca. The packages contain rice, beans, sugar, butter and sardines in quantities sufficient to feed a family of four for three days. These packages are brought to the community center inside of the dump to be distributed. In addition to providing food packages, CIGM is focused on helping single mothers learn marketable skills to offer hope for the future. In 2006, CIGM opened a sewing center near the dump to offer women a viable way to provide for their families. After initial success and growing support, the outreach initiative evolved into a full Resource Center (Centro de Recursos). We now offer pastry-making classes, English language lessons and daycare for children while their mothers are in class.
Solving the entrenched issues of economic strife and lack of access to services in La Chureca will require years of assistance and development work. With the existence of CIGM, though, women have an option to learn a skill that gives them the ability to generate an income, and most importantly, gives them hope.

A power problem at a North Side CTA station disrupted train service on three lines during the Tuesday evening rush.
Red, Purple and Yellow Line trains were stopped at the Howard station because of "a loss of electrical power," the CTA said about 5:15 p.m.
As of 6:30 p.m., service has been restored on all three lines, but riders may experience residual delays, the CTA said.

Watford on his opinion that his receivers made huge plays to help him put up massive numbers
Finding a creative way to lose doesn't normally generate much of a buzz in Scott Stadium, where losing has become all too common, but Virginia's 35-25 loss to Georgia Tech took some effort to achieve.
Other than the final score, and Georgia Tech's typically astounding rushing yardage, the final stat sheet didn't necessarily indicate U.Va. (2-6 overall, 0-4 ACC) should've lost by double digits and should still be in the throes of a losing streak that has now reached five games.
"Some of the players had career days (against Georgia Tech), but you would rather have the (win)," said U.Va. coach Mike London, whose seat might be getting a little hotter after Saturday's loss. "There were some good things that happened out there, but not enough good things that allowed us to win. We have a lot of work to do for this football team."
The one glaring fact that stands out after the loss is U.Va. is capable of finding ways to move the ball in offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild's scheme, but it's far from an opportunistic offense. Georgia Tech turned the ball over five times, but U.Va. scored nary a point off those turnovers.
It's an issue that has plagued U.Va. all season. Though it has collected 15 takeaways, it has scored just 13 points off those takeaways. It has only scored one touchdown off those takeaways, and that score came way back in the season-opening win against Brigham Young.
"You can't really place the blame on the offense, even with the turnovers," said U.Va. linebacker Daquan Romero, a Phoebus High graduate. "At the end of the day, we just have to get the win. It's not just about those five turnovers, it's about four quarters. There were a lot of times when we let them score. You can't just put the blame on the offense."
Georgia Tech's ground game was as potent as ever. Coming into the day averaging 304 rushing yards per game (fifth in the nation out of 123 Football Bowl Subdivision programs), Georgia Tech punished a U.Va. defense that featured four freshman starters – defensive tackle Donte Wilkins, linebacker Max Valles, cornerback Tim Harris and linebacker Zach Bradshaw, who was playing in a game for the first time – for 394 yards.
Strength in numbers has been Georgia Tech's standard operating procedure in terms of the running game this season, hitting defenses with a barrage of quarterbacks and running backs, none of whom came into the game averaging more than 58 rushing yards per game. No Georgia Tech player had run for more than 100 yards all season prior to the U.Va. game.
Running backs Zach Laskey (16 carries for 133 yards and two touchdowns), Robert Godhigh (five carries for 111 yards and a 65-yard touchdown) and David Sims (12 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns) helped Georgia Tech become just the second team in history to have three players rush for over 100 yards in a game against U.Va.
In 1982, Clemson also had three players – Cliff Austin (105 yards), Chuck McSwain (103 yards) and Jeff McCall (103 yards) – gain more than 100 yards rushing in a game against U.Va.
Georgia Tech quarterback Vad Lee indicated he saw holes up the middle of the field in U.Va.'s spread-out defense the Yellow Jackets were able to exploit. U.Va. defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta held the same role at Georgia Tech from 2002-07 under former Yellow Jackets coach Chan Gailey.
"They had wide ends," Lee said. "The ends were very wide. That's why I was giving the ball (to backs up the middle), mostly because I figured that they would get at least five (yards) on a play."
"At first, (the Cavaliers) were kind of moving around a bit. They were trying to do different stuff, but for the most part, we practiced most of the stuff, but their defensive coordinator has seen this stuff a bunch of times before. We just needed to settle down for the most part and play our game, but they were coming pretty aggressive."
Georgia Tech came into the game second in the nation in time of possession, averaging 35 minutes, 28 seconds per game. U.Va. was fifth with an average of 33 minutes, 53 seconds per game.
U.Va. ended up dominating the category Saturday, holding the ball for 9 1/2 minutes more than Georgia Tech (5-3, 4-2). Quarterback David Watford and wide receivers Darius Jennings and Tim Smith were most effective in utilizing the time U.Va. had the ball.
Watford completed 43 of 61 passes for 376 yards, two touchdowns and an interceptions, setting school records for completions and attempts, and establishing a career-high in passing yards. His huge outing came without the benefit of having his leading pass-catcher on the field – tight end Jake McGee (team-high 31 catches for 265 yards and two touchdowns) missed the game due to a lower extremity injury.
Watford took advantage of what was often soft coverage on Jennings and Smith on out routes, comeback routes and patterns over the middle.
"We definitely saw that on film, and we wanted to capitalize on it…especially to the wide side of the field," said Watford, a Hampton High graduate. "(Georgia Tech's defense) bailed out."
Despite the loss, the game was particularly redemptive for Jennings and Smith, who started for the first time in four games. Jennings, a junior, and Smith, a senior, were replaced in the starting lineup in the previous three games by true freshman Keeon Johnson and redshirt freshman Kyle Dockins – sending a clear message to the upperclassmen that obviously sunk in.

Trifolium pratense Cool season legume cover crop.
Actually a short-lived perennial with strong re-seeding ability. High yields, good Nitrogen fixation (to 140 lb/acre), feed palatability, and exceptional beneficial insect habitat. Usually covered with honeybees, beneficial wasps, and tachnid and syrphid flies. Often interseeded with grains and irrigated to make a honey and seed crop after grain harvest.
Blossoms are edible and medicinal. Plant in areas with moderate temperatures and on soils with high Calcium content. Widely adaptable. Grows to 18". Do not plant on poorly drained soil. Once established, tolerates temperatures to -20°F. Seed in fall or spring (for cold areas) 0.25"-0.5 deep at 0.5-1 lb/1000 sq ft or 15-20 lb/acre.
NOTE to Certified Organic Growers: This is conventional seed, but all seeds are coated with Nitro-Coat Organic, which is an OMRI listed coating. This coating uses all organic ingredients: the proper rhizobacteria, a Calcium Carbonate coating that is naturally water absorbing to speed seed germination, and an OMRI listed organic adhesive.

It is sad that after so many years in the workplace that the best city for women still only pays women 74% of what men earn. Guess we needed that pesky Equal Rights Amendment after all. Its denial was the proud work of conservatives then...I wonder how many conservative women are paid less today because of the tireless work against them back in the 1970s.

This post is for Michael4ya u r the reason ppl commit suiside.... I am so sorry u truly believe what u think there r plenty of women that helped with all that u talk about we r so not n the 15th century ok so what i need u to do is RESEARCH something so u wont look sound and seem so damn ignorant i bet any amount of money u dont like blacks mexicans asians or anyone cuz it already a fact u dont like women.... So my guess is u live n ur parents basement with no girlfriend cuz ur gay and ur still a virgin cuz ur an ****.... Coke160, i believe ur right about the gayness i also think ur right about him dropping all the way dead!!!!!! #DNR lol.... Funny cuz i am gay and black and a woman... I am a certified auto machanic so mr. mike may i plz do the honor to fix ur brakes???? ooooops ur bike has a flat!!!!!!!!!!! get a life Mr. NODAMNBODY

Dear Coke160, I am a male, an old one at that, 74, and I must say that I laughed out loud with your comment reply to Michael4ya. He is definitely way off the beam, of course but your suggestion that he "do society a favor and Drop Dead" I thought was priceless. Never heard that line but will surely use in the future. Priceless.
Jun 1, 2012 5:58AM
For the moron with the first comment (Michael4yah). you forgot to mention that JAILS ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE OVERCROWED WITH MALE CRIMINALS, RAPISTS, KILLERS, CANNIBALS, DRUG ADDICTS AND DRUGS TRAFICKERS. Throughout the history of mankind, men always stood out for those crimes.(Cain and Abel sounds familiar to you?) You must be gay. Come out of the closet!!! You hate women 'cause you want to be one of them, but YOU CAN'T. Do society a favor and DROP DEAD!!!

Cool article. Thing is, I don't recall ever reading an article saying what the best cities for men to have jobs are. I'm all for gender equality, and believe men and women should be paid an equal wage, even if that tends to break down based on the difference in choice of fields that men and women tend to populate, but that street cuts both ways and it just seems odd to me that your basic white, straight, male is the only person who is discriminated against as a matter of course at a near institutional level. For example, I attended college on academic scholarships, and was amazed by the diversity of scholarships available. There were scholarships for women, for Jews, for Muslims, for African-Americans, but I was almost beaten shitless at the student union asking if there were any for straight white males. I've gotten off on a tangent here, but what I mean to say is that I fear all these articles and affirmative action steps are overstepping the mark of gender and racial equality and moving into the realm of reverse racism and reverse sexism.

The real American men in this country are those who understand what the word "fair" means. Alas, all too few do. Those who don't prove it every time they open their mouths. Their gross insecurity about their own gender precludes their ability to be as fair to a woman as they are to themselves. The men who do the most complaining about working women are threatened as all get out by any woman who exhibits intelligence. Smart women are anathema to this type. It's why they prefer women who are totally dependent and by the way, obligated to their man's control by that dependency. Then, there are the guys who are attracted to independent women only as a challenge. It's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase for them. That and proving that the independent woman "needs" him. This kind of guy never learns that an independent woman doesn't need a man. Need implies obligation. She wants a man which to her is preferable. And because she can make her own way in this life, she can have any man she wants.

It's funny that people still WANT to believe women earn less, even as younger women outearn their male counterparts in 150 of the largest metro areas. With men being the primary breadwinners until probably into the 1980s, we have to wait until THEY retire before the averages pan out. It's basic math. Plus, the stat that is ALWAYS used .74/.77/.81 cents on the dollar (depending on your source and timeframe) is a RAW gap...meaning they compare doctors against nurses. Even if every doctor made the same and every nurse made the same, because there are more male doctors and more female nurses, if you divide by gender, you'd report women made less. It's crap. Equality is about opportunity and women have every opportunity to be doctors if they want to put the time into it, and many do.
So you take a stat that shows men and women doctors make the same, and men and women nurses make the same, and easily twist it into women earn less than men (and here's the lie...for the same job). When you compare hours, education and experience, you find women and men make almost identical amounts (5-7% difference...and that doesn't factor in job performance, or wage negotiation). Check out the Consad report on the gender-wage gap. Or don't and continue to cry women are victims. They most certainly are not. They are equal. Why must so many WANT them to be victims?

REDGRANITE, WI (WTAQ) - The maker of a controversial political sign in Redgranite insists people are misinterpreting his message, but the imagery tells a different picture.
Traveling through Redgranite along Highway 21 you'll see a yellow sign with a picture of a noose and the words Hang Obama in large bold red letters.
Get closer and the sign actually reads "Hang in there Obama".
Sign maker Thomas Savka says he is an Obama supporter. He says everyone is always picking on him and his message was to say stay in there.
Residents find the sign offensive and it's getting plenty of highway gawkers.
The imagery and words used also conjures up America's past of lynching.
Savka says color has nothing to do with it; this was about getting people's attention and they are reading the sign wrong.

Recipe from the Resort: Summer Vegetable Pasta
It's been a long, hot summer by Wood River Valley standards, and if your vegetable garden is anything like mine, it's hitting its peak right now, producing lots of beautiful colors and juicy treats. However, as all mountain gardeners know, we don't have much time until the first frost, so best use up that sumptuous bounty quick smart.

1/2 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
for the pesto
Blanch the spinach and the basil, then cool down in ice water to maintain the green color.. drain and squeeze as much water out as possible. roast the pine nuts in the oven at 350F. Combine greens and pine nuts, olive oil and Parmesan in a food processor and blend until it reaches a smooth consistency.
for the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a steady boil. Cook the pasta until al dente. while the pasta is cooking sauté the vegetables (excluding the tomatoes) and garlic for 2 minutes in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the drained pasta to the pan, remove from heat, stir in the fresh and sun dried tomatoes. Toss in the pesto and serve immediately.
If your garden hasn't been kind enough to provide you with the ingredients needed, head down to Bald Mountain Pizza & Pasta and let Dennis whip up his specialty for you. The pizza is darn tasty too, and it's a great restaurant for the kids. If you time it right you can enjoy dinner and then take the tykes to Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days at the Opera House for free (courtesy of the resort's dinner and a movie special), or leave the kids at home and catch The Dark Knight, both starting this Friday.
Happy trails!

Narrow your search
Forget the neckties and wristwatches, and get the Dad in your life the tech he really wants.
An Internet Explorer 8 vulnerability goes unfixed by Microsoft for more than half a year, reports the Zero Day Initiative.
Adobe and Microsoft patch a critical zero-day security flaw in Adobe's Flash Player that is actively being used to target Windows users, but the bug is different from an unpatched hole in Internet Explorer.
The flaw, which is being leveraged in "limited, targeted attacks," allows remote code execution, Microsoft warns.
In lieu of a fix, Microsoft offers workarounds to combat the bug that has left browser users open to attacks.
A fix for a vulnerability hitting Internet Explorer versions 6 through 8 will be rolled out today at 10 a.m. PT.
Next week's patches will shore up holes in Windows and Office, but a permanent fix for the latest bug in Internet Explorer is still in the works.
Adobe is scheduled to release updates to Acrobat and Reader that address a zero-day flaw in the software that could allow an attacker to take control of a compromised system.
Google wants technology firms to cut down on the amount of time it takes to fix zero day vulnerabilities, but some are crying foul.
Flaw is found in the Transport Layer Security and Secure Sockets Layer protocols, which have typically been used online retailers and banks to provide security for Web transactions.
Security researcher says vulnerability in Windows 7 could lead to an attack causing a critical system error, or "blue screen of death."

Analysis: Obama's missteps confuse health overhaul
Recent polls show that President Barack Obama is losing support on how he is handling the health care initiative. Some speculate that he underestimated ideological divisions on health care.
FACT CHECK: Obama's health care claims, rhetoric differ
Some things President Barack Obama said about health care reform during his Wednesday news conference differ with the facts, and what he's said before.
Obama to focus on health care at news conference
As the economy continues to lose jobs, Obama will hold a news conference pressing for continued progress in health care debates, in hopes of signing a reform bill before the end of the year.
AmerenUE offers incentives to businesses that save power
Offering rebates to customers that lower their electricity use during periods of peak usage could improve air quality and save AmerenUE money, officials said.
Recession has varied effects on baseball collectibles market
Dan Imler sells rare and vintage baseball memorabila for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mike French sells baseball cards for a few dollars a pack. Both are feeling the effects of a down economy in different ways.
MFA Oil might cut transport division
The transport division, which employs 35 people and has been profitable for the past few years, will reach the end of its contract on August 31 and MFA Oil might not renew the contract.
New U.S. jobless claims fall to lowest level since January
While the unemployement rate continues to rise, the number of newly laid-off workers filing initial claims for unemployment insurance fell last week by 52,000.
Meltdown 101: Where are the renewable energy jobs?
With the growth of energy concerns in Washington — and the allocation of federal funds to alleviate them — job opportunities in the field are expected to open across the U.S.
U.S. jobless rate rises to 9.5 percent
The U.S. unemployment rate continued to climb in the month of June, reaching a 26-year high of 9.5 percent. Economists are conflicted about how long it will be before that number starts to go down.
Midwest economy shows improvement, survey says
The Mid-America Business Conditions Index rose to its highest level since September of last year, indicating that the region's economy is improving, but despite the rise, job losses persist.
Summer looks like a washout for some retailers
Consumers' confidence in the economy, which had surged in April and May, is projected to be virtually unchanged for June when The Conference Board releases figures on Tuesday. And major retailers will release June sales results next week.
ANALYSIS: Nixon's spending, budget cuts are nearly balanced
When it comes to trimming the state's budget, critics of Gov. Jay Nixon's vetoes dispute not the spending that was cut, but the projects that were cut. Among the projects affected include the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center at MU.
Chrysler plant to reopen briefly
The north assembly plant in St. Louis county will be open for two weeks to fulfill remaining orders on the Dodge Ram pickup truck. It will then close for good on July 10.
Former state budget director paints bleak picture of Missouri's finances
Missouri's current deficit is nearly $1 billion. A significant drop in revenue combined with lack of significant spending cuts during the past fiscal year are largely to blame.
ANALYSIS: Climate bill may spur energy revolution
With the passing of a new energy bill by the House, the Senate will now decide whether the bill will be put into action. The bill includes tighter regulations on energy and pollution.
Columbia receives national recognition for entrepreneurial climate
BusinessWeek recently named Columbia the best small city in Missouri for business start-ups. The success is attributed partly to the large college-aged population.
Tough times mean tighter pants for stress eaters
Stress eating generally follows a lifelong pattern, and most people will stress eat from time to time, depending on how bad the stress is and how long it lasts.
Curators to governor: Patient care center important
UM System President Gary Forsee will deliver a message to the governor outlining the System's concerns about Nixon potentially vetoing a bill that contains much higher education funding, including money for Ellis Fischel Cancer Center.
Midwest a front-runner for $8 billion in railway construction funds
High-speed rail plans in the Midwest are considered front-runners to get $8 billion in stimulus money, with a possible future route upgrade from St.Louis to Kansas City.
UPDATE: Chrysler to reopen St. Louis assembly plant
The automaker will restart operations at 7 plants on June 29 after they were shut down in May when the company entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

- Angele is my new favorite place!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014As a local this restaurant sometime slips off my radar, but not anymore! 4 of us had dinner there Saturday night. The Service was excellent, & professional. The menu was so interesting & the Side dishes were as exciting as the center of the plate entree. The mustard crusted pork chop with braised beets & cabbage was a perfect marriage of flavors. The plate presentations were so beautiful we all felt compelled to take a picture prior to eating them. The duck liver mousse w/grilled bread is an appetizer I can't wait to order again. Then Fench spritz cocktail with tangerine juice was the perfect start to the evening & The banana tart was the perfect way to end the meal! Angele is now at the top of the list of my dining radar!Special Features:
- Good but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 9/20/2014Napa French bistro fare; go for the ambience, the burgeoning Napa River redevelopment scene; but the food won't elevate you to the next level. Service is great.Special Features:

- Can't go wrongBlackrattusVIPDined on 9/13/2014In the last couple years Angele has done a spectacular job updating their menu seasonally and every time we visit we are greeted with fantastic new items. Always the highest quality ingredients paired with the light, but not shy, hand of their chef makes every bite a joy. Don't even hesitate to make a reservation here!Special Features:

Perfectly prepared. Beautiful night. It all made for a perfect meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected more.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/4/2014Liver mousse was great. My sister thought her cocktail was undrinkable (they took it off the bill) and switched to wine. Otherwise..good but not exceptional. They DID SEAT US EARLY which we appreciated but the waiter wasn't interested in us at all.
- A great surprise!calgal053VIPDined on 9/3/2014We hadn't been to Angele in years so we thought we would give it a try! We won't be waiting years to return! Although the patio is fabulous, we ate inside for the first time and the room is so lovely! Very charming! Our dinner was delicious! My husband and I shared some oysters, followed by a melon salad. I was still talking about the fresh flavors the next morning! I had a seared tuna appetizer for my main course, the tuna was slightly overcooked but still enjoyable. My husband had the steak, which was cooked perfectly. We would gladly recommend Angele. Wonderful setting, friendly service and a delicious meal! Perfect!Special Features:

Thank you again and we will be back soon!!!Special Features:

- Awesome experiencewineosofnapaDined on 8/25/2014Our anniversary was the night after the recent Napa earthquake and Angele had just opened for business after their cleanup. The restaurant was packed with lots of happy people. Our server, Hillary made our evening so special. Her appetizer and wine suggestions were perfect, as was her upbeat attitude. We started with the decadent duck pate with fig jam followed with entrees of seared scallops over forbidden rice and the best chicken I've ever had! No room for dessert after such a lovely meal. We usually sit on the terrace but decided for the cozy but vibrant dining room inside. Angele is a special place and a favorite of locals like ourselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely evening at AngeleCotagnaDined on 8/23/2014My husband and I were looking forward to our dinner at Angele. It did not disappoint. The table was perfect, the heaters were on and everything from drinks to apps to dinners and dessert was excellent. I tried the Diane Lane and it was heavenly. Husband's was a martini. He had oysters and I had heirloom tomatoes....both were excellent. Duck for me (something I was looking forward to)...excellent. He had pork chop also great. The wine was from one of our favorite Vinyards--Celani Family--and it was very reasonably priced. Dessert was pot au crime with a glazed lavender donut. It turned out unexpectantly to be our last night in Napa because we were awakened with the earthquake! Wowza. Still, a nice memory.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodieeeDined on 8/23/2014Angele is always special. Great good, great service, great view, great people. What's not to like!!Special Features:
- obnoxious waiterOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/21/2014We have always enjoyed Angele, but we cringe when we get the waiter who fancies himself an entertainer. He interjects himself into conversations at the table, is way too personal and just needs to tone it down in a big way. Perhaps the restaurant would be kind enough to seat us in a different section upon our next visit. Otherwise, go & enjoy!
- So goodEllieDined on 8/18/2014It was so lovely. The waiter, host, and manager all made everyone feel welcome. It was my five year anniversary so we paid for the five course tasting menu. We ended up getting six dishes, all of which were exquisite. Definitely a fancy restaurant, but totally worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Uplifting take on French cuisineAsbestosHandsDined on 8/17/2014Angele is a place that changes chefs every two years (or so it appears). The current Top Hat is a Chef Rogelio Garcia, whose food is rather solid in a spirited and interesting take on otherwise a very classic French inspired menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday LunchprincipiaDined on 8/17/2014On a beautiful sunny day my wife and I sat outside under the umbrella and enjoyed a wonderful lunch of grilled steak, macaroni and cheese, tender heirloom tomatoes and a fruity sorbet. The warm bread and butter are always an attraction. This place is perfect and the staff tries hard to make it a good time. The fryer was broken so no French fries but that was not a big deal with so many other choices. Make a reservation because it is a popular spot.Special Features:
- Always a pleasureJajaDined on 8/16/2014Very accommodating, loved the food, service was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice lunch!Marq04VIPDined on 8/11/2014We have eaten here many times. While our waiter was a bit absent-minded this time, we still had a lovely time. Highly recommend this place!Special Features:
- A taste of France in NapaRitzDiningguruDined on 8/10/2014Sometimes it is just perfect. The staff just knew what we wanted, wine, food, conversation. It was first time but they made us feel like regulars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ApolloETGDined on 8/10/2014have eaten there many times and one of our favorite restaurants in Napa ValleySpecial Features:
- Always Great!CBDRVIPDined on 8/9/2014Angele always has my table waiting. The hostess is very accommodating and seems sincere in her wish to please the customer. Wait staff very good. Food presentation outstanding and tasty. Never fails to please. It is a nice touch that the owner makes rounds and checks on all the tables.Special Features:
- Worth the drive from BerkeleyPeterDined on 8/9/2014Excellent steak Tartare (available in 4 oz and 8 oz portions.) The beef is chopped rather than run through a grinder and served with a nice frisee salad and crostini. Ratatouile, heirloom tomato salad, stuffed baby potatoes and Croque Madame were all very good. The house red is a 2011 Rhone and worked well with all our dishes. Desserts ranged from meh to outstanding. The chocolate bread pudding got the meh! The (house made?) chocolate ice cream was one of the best we'd ever tasted. A stone-fruit tart was very good but I'd like to have tasted more of the fruit. We had pleasant outdoor seating, surrounded by flowery gardens. We did not go inside so can't talk about that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great River View2MantecaFoodLoversVIPDined on 8/7/2014We were introducing friends to Angele's even though we had only been there once before but were very impressed. We were given out door seating which was great except that the wind was blowing so it was a little chilly. The food was excellent and our waiter was fantastic as was all the staff. They have a wonderful wine and cocktail list to choose from. Make your reservation early it fills up fast. We would definitely return.Special Features:
- One of the finest in NapaCammyDined on 8/5/2014This is one of the finest restaurants in Napa. When we arrived, I was greeted with birthday wishes from our hostess and server. A very gracious gesture. The service was impeccable, friendly, knowledgeable and warm. The food was outstanding. I had the sole with a creamy risotto and my boyfriend had the lasagna which he thoroughly enjoyed. Everything about this restaurant is top notch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect setting/delicious foodBravosVIPDined on 8/3/2014This is a great restaurant on all counts. The ambience is wonderful, unlike anything else you will find in the valley. It is less fancy, not contrived, but carefully tended and thoughtfully executed. Food and wind are just right.Special Features:
- Exceptionally delicious...FoodJagVIPDined on 8/2/2014Second time this month. Last time I had the Faux Filet which was delicious. This time the Canard Rôti which was moist, tender and flavorful. I will get it again. My wife again had the Tartare de Boeuf which she just loves. We saw several other dishes, including the Coquilles Saint-Jacques went want to try so we will definitely be back. Food is delicious, beautifully presented by personable friendly staff. Reasonable prices, good wine list.Special Features:
- Great Dinner - Great locationOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/27/2014I chose this restaurant based on some research and it was confirmed by the concierge at our table. It was a very cool little restaurant at the end of town on the river. It is an old boathouse, so the wooden beams and quaint feel are a very nice touch. Food was excellent, well prepared, described, and presented. Great seating options both inside and outside. Would definitely go back.Special Features:
- Fabulous!FoodieVIPDined on 7/26/2014Always a delicious meal to be had at Angele! Thanks for always making us feel special!Special Features:
- A favorite in NapaDanaVIPDined on 7/25/2014Angele is one of our favorite restaurants in the Napa Valley. It's right on the River in downtown Napa and we love it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Left wanting....OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/25/2014My wife and I had heard really good things about Angele's and wanted to try it. I got the salmon with a side of potatoes. My wife got a salad with goat cheese (I think) with a side of soup. The best part of mine was the potatoes, the rest was alright. Nothing to write home about. My wife didn't care for the soup and the salad was fairly plain as well. I also can't remember the last time I was charged $8 for sparkling water. I'll make my own at home next time. We didn't have a bad experience here, just hoping for a little more for the amount of money we paid. Kind of plain.
- A great findmusicfoodVIPDined on 7/23/2014Lovely setting. We keep thinking about the sole dish. Creative menu. Beautifully prepared food. Just delicious. Attentive to our friends' special dietary needs. Probably one of the best restaurants in Napa.Special Features:
- paulVIPDined on 7/23/2014Great atmosphere, great food, great service, great patio....what else can one ask for when touring Napa wineries? The great place to end the day

ProShares Trust II SVXY: The Best ETF Of Our Time AKA How To Become A Billionaire Without Really Trying – Seeking Alpha.
Back in July I caught the post linked above on Seeking Alpha, one of those long-shot, inane ideas that somewhat makes sense. To boil down the article, you take a long (very long) position in SVXY in a tax deferred account shorting VIX futures. The ultimate goal, if the author's assumptions are true is a payoff in 20-30 years will be in the billions of dollars.
Now I don't have any inkling that an investment in SVXY will really return that much in that long of stretch. But I took up the bet/challenge/opportunity/funny-tasting-kool-aid and bought a single share in a tax deferred acccount. Unfortunately, I came in late to the game and missed the bulk of the gains for the year.
Purchase price: $102.14
Current value: $136.98 (34.11%) – as of 12/27/2013
I hope to update this annually just to give readers an idea of where the idea goes. It was only $100 that I would have wasted buying games on Steam so it won't be missed if it all goes to hell.
Would I pin my hopes on this strategy? No. Is the long-term notion viable? Potentially – hinging on several factors:
- You have to avoid taking action in the gut-wrenching swings. And SVXY volatility is very high meaning the price swings wildly.
- You will, at some point, have a ginormous draw-down at some point in the future where you will question your sanity. 90% draw down? Can I stomach it?
- If the plan is working, at some point in the future, you will most likely want to get off the vomit comet early to take what gains you have and call it a day. As the original author says: put it in a lockbox, shut the lid, lock it and open it in 20-30 years.
- There may be a chance SVXY won't even be around in 30 years. I predicate this on the fact that it is the inverse of UVXY. And while SVXY is riding high, UVXY is a sinking ship only occasionally useful as it bobs up in the waves but then immediately dives back down in the water and continues its descent into darkness.
- Other long-term risks include total wipe-out of the account. A huge, sustained volatility spike could push SVXY into no man's land of negative NAV if ProShares doesn't pull the plug (which I assume they would do to avoid negative NAV)
Other thoughts:
It has been fun to watch this for 6 months and I've learned quite a few things. Even with all of the drag-show drama that is Washington DC, mean reversion is a bitch. I made it through "tapering", a government shutdown, and a lot of incessant political whining and crying but SVXY pulled through quite well in the last half of the year. Had I been invested at the beginning of the year, the gains would have been significantly higher (> 100% as of this writing)
Future plans:
I plan to keep SVXY in my IRA for the long haul. I may add to the position over time but in no way am I making it the cornerstone of my retirement plan…
It's funny as I've read many of Macro Investor's articles and comments along the way and I find much of what he offers as sensible given the circumstances. However I'm politically a polar-opposite. And politics plays a large part in what happens with S&P volatility. It may seem odd that I'm the polar opposite in terms of politics but will still put my money where my mouth is on his idea.
Macro Investor appears to proceed from a position that everything with government is fine, except republicans and tea party people (that's an extremely brief synopsis). I tend to proceed from the position that regardless of the political party, there will be no end to political patronage for special interests and industry within the next 20-30 years. All of the tactics that were pulled out during the financial crisis are on the table for the next time now and I fully expect them to be used in the future. So even if I lose politically (and retire with a face-palm imprint), I'll win financially. Then I can check out and not have to think about it any longer. Or maybe I can fund a think tank and become the next Soros/Koch-brother fodder for those who don't agree with my political ideals.
Given this set of circumstances, the continual distortion of the market by government action will continue to push the value of SVXY higher over time. Think of it like this: if I know a horse is doped to high heaven, you can be sure I will bitch about it, but I know where to put my money. My wager here is that the horse will make it as far as I need it to go before my retirement finish line instead of dropping dead at the next turn or two… if I'm lucky.

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits (A La Red Lobster)
Once upon a time, there were two friends who moved in together as roommates just after college. One was continuing on with a master's degree in therapy. One was beginning a new job at a church (the size of a small town) leading a vocal ministry.
Exciting times. Fun times. But often, overwhelming, frustrating, and stressssssful times.
So when the going got rough, or when it was time for a celebration (or…just when the craving hit :-)), these two friends hopped in the car and drove across town to "The Lobster" for the best of all indulgences…
Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
If you have ever tried these heavenly little delights, you understand why they always brought a smile to the two friends' faces. And why they always asked for seconds. And why they were worth every calorie. :)
So even though these two friends now live hours apart, the memories of great times at "The Lobster" forever live on. And thankfully, the recipe for the biscuits do as well.
The end.
Garlic Cheddar Biscuits (a la Red Lobster)
- 2 cups buttermilk biscuit mix (such as Bisquick or Jiffy)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together biscuit mix, cheese and garlic powder. Add in milk, and stir until well mixed. (Heads up - the dough will get very sticky!)
With a spoon or with your fingers, shape the dough into biscuit-sized clumps, and drop onto the baking sheet. (Note that the dough will pretty much hold its shape when baked, so feel free to pat down random peaks in the dough if you'd like them to look more uniform!)
Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until biscuits begin to brown slightly around the edges.
While the biscuits bake, prepare the warm butter mixture by mixing together the melted butter, oregano and garlic salt in a small bowl. As soon as the biscuits are removed from the oven, brush the biscuits (while they are still on the baking sheet) with the mixture until they are well-coated.
Serve warm.
(*This recipe usually makes about 15 biscuits for me.*)
Ali's Tip:
If you'd like to actually see more of the grated cheddar in the finished biscuits, opt for the more thickly grated cheddar (rather than the super-fine stuff!). Both of course taste exactly the same, but I love seeing the little whisps of cheddar when enjoying these guys. :)

- John Duncan is the United Kingdom Ambassador for Multilateral Arms Control and Disarmament. He comments regularly via Twitter and on his own Blog. The opinions expressed are his own. -
Former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan once remarked that in terms of people killed and injured every day, conventional weapons are the worst weapons of mass destruction in the 21st century.
Monday sees the start of a "Week of Action" to generate support for a new International Arms Trade Treaty, organised by NGO alliance "Control Arms" which brings together Amnesty International, Oxfam and IANSA.
Control Arms have been lobbying for an ATT for the best part of ten years; inauspicious timing perhaps in a decade that is increasingly refereed to as "the Decade of Stalemate" in the field of international multilateral diplomacy.
The low point of international efforts to curb the proliferation of conventional weapons was probably 2006, with the collapse of the United Nations Review Conference on Small Arms and Light Weapons in New York. But it was also the year that a group of seven countries (Argentina, Australia, Costa Rica, Finland, Kenya, Japan, and the UK) launched a process in the United Nations leading to the negotiation of a new legally binding treaty to regulate the international arms trade.

Who'd Been Sleeping in Her Bed?
When Tory Caswell attended her sister's wedding in a magical old Victorian resort, her mind was filled with images of bouquets and garters. But when she awakened the next morning, she thought she was still dreaming. Because a gray-eyed hunk was sharing her pillow!
Rand Trent had drunk some brandy the previous night, but not that much. He could never have forgotten sleeping in the arms of such a gorgeous woman. But was Tory Caswell sane? After all, the instant she got a second look at Rand, she started proclaiming that it was 1995--when he knew good and well that it was the 1800s....

page 2 - Are Diesels Coming or Going?
Is compression ignition coming or going?
By July 18, 2007
Why Europeans like their diesels
Part of the European love affair with the diesel makes a lot of sense. Part is what I perceive as Eurocentric posturing on environmental issues.
Largely because of taxation, motor fuels have always been exceptionally expensive over there. Thus, a diesel's inherently better fuel economy is a real attraction. Also, in many European countries, there are tax-invoked differences between diesel and gasoline prices. Belgium is the most striking case, with diesel going for the equivalent of $2.98/gal. versus gasoline priced at $4.02/gal. Curiously, though U.K. taxation is absolutely throttling, the situation there is similar to ours: gasoline is $4.71/gal.; diesel, $4.80/gal.
A Brit might consider a diesel for its fuel economy. A Belgian motorist would be most profligate not to buy a diesel.
Also, there's the larger issue of environmentalism particularly CO2 and its effect on global warming. I'll rant another time and place (this, after all, is what my Tech Tidbits column is for), but suffice to say the European Community has really bought into automotive CO2 as a significant contributor to global warming.
Governments offer incentives beyond fuel taxation for buying diesels. Also, in many countries, registration costs are keyed to engine size, and small-displacement turbodiesels provide what customers want namely, torque.
Common rails, unit injectors and multiple squirts
The modern diesel engine has evolved into quite the engineering marvel. Diesel technology was slow to adopt electronic engine management, but today's designs have evolved quickly and continue to exhibit a great deal of potential.
A common-rail diesel injection, for instance, operates at extremely high pressure, as high as 24,000 psi. This common rail is an accumulator as well as distributor, thus decoupling fuel pressure from engine rpm.
Volkswagen opts for the same high-pressure decoupling, but with a different strategy. Its unit injectors combine pumping and injection in single assemblies, one per cylinder. With either approach, fuel injection can occur when and how engineers deem optimal.
As an example of its benefit, common-rail injection all but eliminates diesel clatter. With traditional CI, this ringing of the cylinder block is a response to irregular combustion in unexpected regions of the chamber (the diesel's equivalent of knock). Today's systems pre-condition the combustion through multiple-injection strategies, with one or two pilot injections at precise time and location. These pilot events are of extremely short duration, 40 microseconds, and involve tiny amounts of fuel, on the order of 1 mm3.
Nor is the main injection a simple squirt. Piezoelectric injectors vary their nozzle geometry for super-fine, high-speed metering (see Tech Tidbits, August 2002). Arcane modeling techniques like genetic algorithms have suggested multiple events in this phase as well (see Tech Tidbits, February 2001).
What's more, post injections are used, one to complete the burn for reduced engine-out emissions, a second used intermittently to spike downstream HC, increasing temperatures for enhanced aftertreatment.
In the old days (10 years ago!), for each liter of displacement, diesels produced perhaps 45 bhp and around 7080 lb.-ft. of torque. Today, figures are 75 bhp/liter and 110120 lb.-ft./liter. It's no wonder that Europeans enjoy their diesels so far.
Why don't we like diesels?
The American experience with diesels has been, at best, a mixed one. Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and others have been in and out of the diesel market over the years. Oldsmobile soured the well in 1978 by coming to market with what turned out to be, in retrospect, a poorly-dieselized version of GM's 350-cu.-in. V-8. There never has been a price differential in favor of diesel fuel in this country. Last, heavy trucks and truck stops hardly added to diesel's passenger-car appeal.
Our emissions regulations haven't favored them (unlike in Europe, where standards are diesel- and gasoline-specific). As an example, California's South Coast Air Quality Management District has banned diesels from public vehicle fleets, and as recently as October 2002 a U.S. Circuit Court upheld this ban.
But things are changing
Ironically enough, this court action was about the same time that the chairman of the California Air Resources Board spoke favorably of diesels in achieving the state's air quality objectives. And there has always been a dedicated band of knowledgeable diesel enthusiasts.
At the moment, Volkswagen's Golf, Jetta and New Beetle 1.9 TDIs are the only diesel-powered cars available here. In 2002, these turbocharged direct-injected VW diesels hardly dominated with only 15 percent of Golf, Jetta and New Beetle sales. However, whenever gasoline prices soar (as they inherently do from time to time), VW wishes it had scads more to sell. With this in mind, its Passat is getting a diesel later this year and the Touareg SUV will have a 5.0-liter V-10 TDI diesel in summer 2004.
Mercedes will bring us its E320 CDI (as in common-rail diesel injection) in 2004. Also in 2004, Jeep will offer its diesel Liberty already available outside North America. (By the way, there are also diesel PT Cruisers, built in Mexico but for Europe only. California-spec diesel fuel has to be trucked to the plant to fuel them; Ford is studying plans for offering a diesel Focus within the next five years. Other U.S.-available diesels are concentrated toward the large end of the light-truck segment. Fully two out of three Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, for instance, are diesel.
Diesel clouds ahead?
A lot of U.S. diesel activity is based on proposed hikes in the light-truck Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard phased in over 20052007. The class (which includes many pickups, minivans and SUVs) will likely face a 7.2-percent increase in mpg. Automakers are scrambling for SUV fuel efficiency, and dieselization is a straightforward 2530-percent improvement.
There's a downside, though, both here and in Europe. Increasingly stringent emissions-control regulations challenge the diesel even more than its spark-ignition counterpart. In a sense, it's like the SI engine back in the 1970s, at the beginning of 3-way catalysis. Even with ultra-low-sulfur fuel, it's not clear that our coming NOx and particulate regulations can be met.
And some pretty bizarre technology has been proposed. In response to Europe's Stage IV regulations, for instance, the PSA Peugeot Citroën HDI series has a silicon-carbide particulate filter that traps soot for some 250 miles, then requires a minute dose of rare-earth-derived compound to regenerate the device through superheating (around 850 degrees Fahrenheit!). A separate 1.3-gal. tank of this cerium-based Eolys additive needs replenishment every 50,000 miles or so.
Others are studying NOx reduction in a catalytic converter fed a combination of diesel exhaust and urea, an ammonia-based compound.
CSI's catalyzed trap
Oxnard, California-based Catalytic Solutions Inc. has teamed up with Japan's Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. to develop a catalyzed particulate filter for meeting Europe's Stage IV and Stage V regulations. Asahi's silicon-nitride honeycomb has very small particle size, all the better for high surface area and optimal catalyst coating. The CSI catalyst coating uses relatively low levels of precious metals; this, to improve light-off temperature yet reduce cost.
Its duty cycle depends on soot accumulation within the honeycomb's tiny passages. Periodically, a backpressure sensor recognizes the need for eliminating the accumulated soot. Subtle changes in fuel injection enhance catalytic activity and cause a temperature rise in the catalyst, thus promoting this downstream soot combustion. CSI's catalyst enables rapid soot combustion during this regeneration event. Most important, this action is imperceptible to the driver.
I've written about CSI before (see "Technology Update: Clean the Sky! Wash the Wind!" April 2001; and Tech Tidbits, June 2001). This current research and development may once more "clean the sky and wash the wind," only this time, to the benefit of Rudolf Diesel's compression-ignition concept.

Medications and Drugs
Brand Names: Plavix
Generic Name: clopidogrel (Pronunciation: kloe PID oh grel)
What is clopidogrel (Plavix)?
Clopidogrel keeps the platelets in your blood from coagulating (clotting) to prevent unwanted blood clots that can occur with certain heart or blood vessel conditions.
Clopidogrel is used to prevent blood clots after a recent heart attack or stroke, and in people with certain disorders of the heart or blood vessels.
Clopidogrel may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Plavix 75 mg
round, pink, imprinted with 75, 1171
What are the possible side effects of clopidogrel (Plavix)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using clopidogrel and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
Less serious side effects may include itching.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is the most important information I should know about clopidogrel (Plavix)?
Clopidogrel keeps your blood from coagulating (clotting) to prevent unwanted blood clots that can occur with certain heart or blood vessel conditions. Because of this drug action, clopidogrel can make it easier for you to bleed, even from a minor injury. Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if you have bleeding that will not stop.
You may also have bleeding on the inside of your body, such as in your stomach or intestines. Call your doctor at once if you have black or bloody stools, or if you cough up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. These could be signs of bleeding in your digestive tract.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of bleeding in your stomach or intestines.
If you need surgery or dental work, tell the surgeon or dentist ahead of time that you are using clopidogrel. You may need to stop using the medicine for at least 5 days before having surgery, to prevent excessive bleeding.
