Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
I always had this idea about the phrase "and more". When I first started out here in Los Angeles, I was editing commercials for musical artists, not really my thing, I'm more a movie guy, and it didn't help that about 99% of the artists were trash and the music industry is darker than a snuff film.
So we did a lot of compilation albums, soundtracks for stuff like "The Matrix" or all the Grammy artists, etc, stuff you're sure to have seen at some point. And all these albums would list like four to eight of the more popular artists or songs , something like (in your best Don LaFontaine voice) - Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Rob Zombie, Rage Against the Machine, And More!- acknowledging the bands whose agents weren't as good to get them advertised, but at least they made the album. So the sort of inside joke I always had with my bosses at the time was that if I were to ever start a band, I would call it "And More".
Think about it, you'd be listed on nearly every music soundtrack or compilation CD commercial ever done. Do a little viral Internet video and instant buzz for your group.
So to the would-be rock stars in our readership looking for a band name, you're welcome, let me know how it goes. And if you don't like "And More", I recommend "Skull-Fuck Cedeno", "Gay Witchcraft", "Bees" or "Johann's Mom".
FA Frenzy update "and more" after the jump...
The lead tightens ever so slightly and if Manny Ramirez goes to the Dodgers. the contest gets quite interesting.
- Real Neal - 66
- CincyKid - 56
- Jackie t, Andrew, Dejon R. - 53
- Everyone Else
As for the and more, "Crunch" passes along this Cub-related comic strip, good for a mild chuckle.The strip is called "Get Fuzzy" and is written by a Red Sox fan.
Enjoy the 3-day weekend!
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
I didn't know you were involved in film. I wrote about half of a screenplay adaptation of Kafka's "The Castle"...that's ok, he wrote half of a book (damn, I'm funny). Think you can get that made for me?
...also, I wanted to start a band called Empathetic Schadenfreude, because it's super pretentious, but I don't play an instrument and I can't sing for shit.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
I've got a sister on her way to LA with credits as an Associate Producer, Producer, and Post-Prodcution Coordinator (I think that's right) in TV and Film. She's looking for work. She's been working in Philadelphia (and traveling for shoots) for two years or so.
Random outburst of the day. I guess I was directing this toward Rob, not The Joe (she can't help you get your screenplay produced). LA themed thread within this post.
Also, The Joe, pretentious bands are the best sort of bands for guys who can't play an instrument or sing for shit, so I don't see what's standing in your way.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
Thanks for the encouragement! I think I'll do it.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
note: Get Fuzzy doesn't revolve around the RSox, but the writer/artist of the comic is a RSox/baseball fan and it works it's way into the comic a bit.

I'm partial to the yet-untapped band name Polizia con Vongole.
btw I'm heading to the Mall for Inauguration on Tuesday; anyone else? DC Tom, where are you?
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
i think "3/44" would make an excellent name for a band. "Chad's Bitch" would be a close 2nd.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
Russ Springer let go by the Cardinals. Wish we could dump the awful Vizcaino somehow and replace him with Springer, who is a very nice middle reliever with awesome numbers against RH batters.

Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
OK, I'll admit it. I don't understand the last bubble in the comic. Maybe there should be a 'correct the punchline contest'. I'll start it off with "And that's different how?!?"
I'm only first place in that contest until Manny signs, but still it's better than usual when I'm eliminated by Dec 01.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
Gordon Wittenmyer/Sun-Times stuff:
• • Sources say out-of-options outfielder Felix Pie could be traded as soon as sometime next week, with pitcher Rich Hill -- also facing the same roster limbo -- possibly next to go.
• • Cedeno, too, is out of options, and could be on the block if the Cubs determine he won't beat out Micah Hoffpauir for a roster spot or if they acquire another veteran infielder such as Rich Aurilia.
The Cubs, by the way, are not strongly pursuing Aurilia, according to insiders, despite some recent reports suggesting otherwise. He's a back-burner option at this point.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
He should be taken off the back burner, poored into the sink and the ground up in the garbage disposal.
Well not him, really, just the idea of him on the 2009 Cubs.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
I'm sure I'm in the minority in my opinion but I feel strongly that Fukodome should play center and lead off. I think that with the power expectations taken off him, he'll be a valuable on base + speed guy. I think he'll have a good year.
My lineup would be this:
Would love to see other guys proposed lineups...
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
Ideal or within the realm of possibility? Cause it looks like Soriano is batting leadoff unless the Cubs trade for Roberts.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
I do not agree with the "speed" assertion anymore. He stole 12 bases last year. Fonzi stole 19 in less games.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
I just was checking out Aaron Miles stats. His career OBP from the 1-slot is mediocre. Statistically, he's done better 2nd, and 7th, respectively. However, I did like looking at his "clutch stats", which I would think are better than average, as well as his OBP in a 3-2 count (over .550), and even 1-2. It would appear as if he has a clue where the zone is, where some players who have led off for the team (not mentioning any names, Soriano) are challenged here.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
Take it for what its worth but Tony LaRussa really likes Miles and was kinda pissed they didnt resign him.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
LaRussa called him the best teammate he's ever had.....which I guess means he is a real team player.
Converse to Miles, aren't Soriano's best career numbers out of the leadoff spot? I really believe Lou when he says he is comfortable batting him there, and am convinced, especially with this roster, that that is precisely where he will bat.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
the best power hitter will once again probably lead off, yes...
i could really care less the guy can steal 20-30 bases at this point in his career, honestly.
i'm a little tired of seeing a guy who hits as many homers/doubles as he does struggling to touch 90 RBIs. he had a hell of a nice advantage with near-.300 hitting 7/8 hitters last season at least.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
"Sweet Lou said he talked to Jim Hendry about the situation and mentioned Aaron Miles' success in the leadoff spot for the Cardinals and his OBP. He said they would go to camp and figure it out. But Piniella indicated Alfonso Soriano is getting older and could possibly be moved down in the order. While Piniella did not say, it was implied that Soriano would be willing to move down in the lineup. Piniella added Soriano will do what's best for the Cubs."
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
Soriano moved down in the order makes sense. Miles batting leadoff instead of Soriano, Fontenot, Theriot, Fukudome, or Reed Johnson does not make sense.
Miles taking playing time from Theriot or Fontenot also makes little sense at this point, unless Miles somehow continues his high OBP--which is possible, but not what his career numbers suggest he'll do.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
miles in the leadoff spot? ugg...
as much as theriot is a "meh" hitter, i'd take him in the 1 slot over miles easily.
that said, im pretty much expecting soriano to lead off though i'd like him moved down.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
I misstated when I said "high OBP". What I should have said was "adequate" since I was remarking on the possibility of Miles duplicating his .355 OBP from 2008, a mark he'd never reached in the majors before. The suggestion of Miles winning a starting job, much less the leadoff spot, is a little bit frightening.
Re: Miles=Starter=Frightening
From reading the Cardinals blogs, Miles has this annoying habit of subtly taking jobs away from underperforming starting players. Then when the season is over everyone shits bricks at how many plate appearances he got.

CRANE KENNEY says no way the 2007 Cubs would have won the division with DUSTY BAKER managing!
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
suits say lots of things...that's why the players are more important.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
Geo might have had less ABs than he did, but I don't know what else Dusty might've done any different than Lou did. Bluntly it's not as if the 2007 Cubs did anything worth remembering anyways. They won a weak division with 85 Ws and got swept in the first round. So is Lou supposed to be some genius?
This is not even from a Dusty fan or even apologist. I wish Crane Kenney would shut up.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
it's just so stupid to begin with it should just start/end there.
the idea that some dude just willed a team to winning and no one else could have done it but that one guy...okay, whatever. go team go. i could care less if the manager was casey stengel or ted turner, no man has that much power over his team's performance...
meh. suit talk...
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
lou is gonna play fontenot as much as possible whenever possible
fontenot 350 at bats i say 14 hr out of the 2 or 7 hole
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
That'd be great. I would've guessed 14 hr in about 450 ABs, if he got that many. But I think Fontenot should be the starter at 2nd, and Miles should play there against lefties (if he hits). 2nd and 7th sound like the right places to bat Fontenot most days. I would guess that Fukudome, Theriot, Bako, and Miles gather the most ABs batting 8th this year. I would guess Fontenot bats 2nd more than anyone else with Theriot, Miles, or Johnson there against lefties.
Re: Free Agent Frenzy Update and More...
i go back to last week or week before cubs like to sign injured
pitchers to incentive contracts i stated the cubs should sign
m. mulder to incentive laden contract as per buster olney (espn)
today mark mulder could be the hidden gem of this years free agent class.
he will throw in 2 weeks for teams.

Dude. No one can understand what you're saying. You realize this, no? Use punctuation and standard prose formatting and what "you stated" might be taken more seriously.

Don't knock Kenney - his holy blessing escapade was true genius - and also the sign of an extraordinarily weak mind.

I know he's struggles against lefties but Schwarber seems zoned in - hope he starts tonight.
Awesome stuff, Phil.
listening on ESPN 1000, caller says Bill Welke will be the home plate ump today. Supposedly his reputation is for having an even bigger strike zone than last night's Phil Cuzzi. Some of the issues with bad umpiring come from an inconsistent strike zone. Hoping at least for consistency. Last night's called strike on David Ross was outright embarrassing for Cuzzi.
That might work out in favor of Kyle Hendricks, who benefits much from a large strike zone.
it's kind of mesmerizing to watch
should Theo add some Ted Abernathy videos for minor league pitching coordinator's use?
sadly, Ted passed away in 2004 from complications of Alzheimers. I always loved the Cub bullpen trio of Phil Regan, Ted Abernathy and Hank Aguirre. As a kid, I even worked on both Phil Regan (very quirky delivery) and Ted Abernathy (extreme submarine) imitations when throwing a rubber ball against a wall. It wasn't a good imitation unless I could scrape my knuckles off the ground. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for submariners.
HAGSAG: Chris Pieters was sent to instructs to develop his hitting, bunting, and outfield play (he is already a decent first-baseman).
Pieters is tall and rangy , a "long-strider" in the same mold as Trey Martin and Rashad Crawford. He is a very patient hitter (unusual for a hitter with his lack of experience) and has an outstanding (almost uncanny) eye at the plate, and he is a fast runner with unusually good baserunning instincts, and he is a good basestealer, too.
I doubt we will see Pedro in any more "high leverage" situations this series. With Hendricks and the pen today, we need Bryant-Rizzo-Castro to get going ASAP.
One funny thing to see before the game was the two submariner pitchers (David Berg and Corbin Hoffner) playing catch with each other. Both pitchers throw "submarine" even when they play catch, and it's kind of mesmerizing to watch, even for the other players.
CUBSTER: One of the points of emphasis at "basic" Instructs this year was teaching the position players the art of baserunning and base-stealing, like getting a good primary and seconday lead, reading the pitcher, cutting bases sharply, and different ways to slide to maximize the baserunner's chance to arrive safely.
Brooksbaseball.net has some interesting stats/graphs on pitch and strike zones and you can dial up individual games/pitchers. I'd love to see some comments from readers who can interpret this better than I can. I thought the Ump was really inconsistent with a very wide zone. Does this info seem to match up with my eyeball perception? Also, looking at the graphs, Lackey was not throwing as many pitches below the K-zone (certainly more above) while Lester was clearly getting his pitches down and not many above.
As I was fearing in my post yesterday, Maddon keeps trotting Strop out against the Redbirds and he constantly fails. I understand the psychology behind this, but in a series where there is a finite lock on who moves on, why does he keep riding the wrong horse?
AZ Phil: Agree, this must have been a really fun game to watch. There was a lot of base stealing going on. Are the pitchers not holding runners or is the catching still a work in progress?
Cuzzi has long been known as having the biggest strike zone among all umpires.
AZ Phil, give me a scouting report on Chris Pieters since he has become a 1B/OF.
I think it's probably hard to adjust to an ump's zone mid-game, as least for hitters. Pitchers can locate to an ump's zone, but hitters have minimal time to react.
But, whatever. Umps are going to miss calls. Let's beat up on the non-Lackey starters.
Watched a little of Mets-Dodgers.

How's your chill time with Jesus?
We know that life is busy. It doesn't take a brain scholar to know that we need rest. And yet when it's time to "chill" do we hang out with Jesus?
So here's a rather simple idea: praise. When we take the time to praise we're taking the time to change what we are thinking about. If it's not too silly to suggest, it's a staycation. Our circumstances and surroundings have not changed, but our mindset is different.
Consider the Psalms. David poured out his soul to the Lord and almost always comes around to praise, honor and to glorify God. The Psalms are examples of worship in the midst of our hope in Him. In the Psalms, space is created to chill with Jesus and we remind ourselves that He is dependable. With eager expectation we know that God will provide. What God has done and what He will do and who He is, is worthy of praise!
"Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious.
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing the praises of your name."
–Psalm 66.1-4
Take encouragement my friends to chill with Jesus. Create the space to praise. As in Psalm 66 take the time to speak to the Lord. Honor Him by reminding yourself of His faithful character. Worship Him for His great mercy and loving kindness. Praise Him.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of trimetallic nanoparticles represents an emerging strategy to maximize catalytic performances in noble metal-based catalysts. However, the controllable synthesis of trimetallic nanomaterials as well as the exact role played by the addition of a third metal in their composition over catalytic performances remains unclear. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of trimetallic nanoshells having AgAuPd, AgAuPt, and AgPdPt compositions by a sequential galvanic replacement reaction approach between Ag nanospheres as sacrificial templates and the corresponding metal precursors, i.e., AuCl4−(aq), PdCl42−(aq), and/or PtCl62−(aq). In each of these systems, the composition could be systematically tuned by varying the molar ratios between Ag and each metal precursor. Nanoshells having Ag56Au28Pd16, Ag78Au9Pt13, and Ag71Pd16Pt13 compositions were employed as model systems to investigate the effect of the addition of the third metal in their composition over the catalytic activities toward the 4-nitrophenol reduction. Our data demonstrate a significant enhancement in conversion percentages and thus the catalytic activities relative to the sum of their bimetallic counterparts, and this increase was dependent on the nature of the metals, corresponding to 826, 135, and 56 % for Ag56Au28Pd16, Ag78Au9Pt13, and Ag71Pd16Pt13 nanoshells relative to their bimetallic analogs. The results presented herein demonstrate the strong correlation between catalytic activity and composition in multimetallic nanoshells, and that the incorporation of a third metal may represent a promising approach to boost catalytic activities for a variety of transformations.Journal of Materials Science 08/2015; 50(16).

Article: Surface Segregated AgAu Tadpole‐Shaped Nanoparticles Synthesized Via a Single Step Combined Galvanic and Citrate Reduction Reaction[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: New AgAu tadpole nanocrystals were synthesized in a one-step reaction involving simultaneous galvanic replacement between Ag nanospheres and AuCl4 (-) (aq.) and AuCl4 (-) (aq.) reduction to Au in the presence of citrate. The AgAu tadpoles display nodular polycrystalline hollow heads, while their undulating tails are single crystals. The unusual morphology suggests an oriented attachment growth mechanism. Remarkably, a 1 nm thick Ag layer was found to segregate so as to cover the entire surface of the tadpoles. By varying the nature of the seeds (Au NPs), double-headed Au tadpoles could also be obtained. The effect of a number of reaction parameters on product morphology were explored, leading to new insights into the growth mechanisms and surface segregation behavior involved in the synthesis of bimetallic and anisotropic nanomaterials. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Article: Carbon-supported TiO2–Au hybrids as catalysts for the electrogeneration of hydrogen peroxide: Investigating the effect of TiO2 shape[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: TiO2–Au hybrid materials are promising as electrocatalysts for the in situ production of H2O2 via the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the synthesis of uniform and well-controlled TiO2–Au materials, which is crucial to establish morphology–performance relationships, remains challenging. We describe herein the synthesis of hybrid materials composed of TiO2 colloidal spheres and wires decorated with Au nanoparticles. We employed TiO2 colloidal spheres and wires as physical templates for Au deposition, which enabled the uniform deposition of Au NPs with monodisperse sizes over the TiO2 surface. Then, the electrocatalytic activities toward the electrogeneration of H2O2 by the ORR were investigated as a function of the TiO2 shape and TiO2–Au loading on Vulcan XC-72R carbon. We found that the electrocatalytic activities were strongly dependent on the TiO2 shape and TiO2–Au loading in the catalysts. The utilization of TiO2 colloidal spheres led to higher activities relative to pure carbon and commercial Pt/C, and the optimal TiO2–Au loading corresponded to 3%. Conversely, the TiO2 wires led to detrimental effects over the catalytic performances for all hybrid materials. These results could be explained based on the morphological and conductivity differences among TiO2–Au/C electrode materials. We believe the results described herein can have important implication for the design of TiO2-based hybrid nanostructures for the electrogeneration of H2O2 by the ORR.Journal of Catalysis 06/2015; 326.

Article: Probing the Catalytic Activity of Reduced Graphene Oxide Decorated with Au Nanoparticles Triggered by Visible Light[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hybrid materials in which reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is decorated with Au nanoparticles (rGO-Au NPs) were obtained by the in situ reduction of GO and AuCl4 (-) (aq) by ascorbic acid. On laser excitation, rGO could be oxidized as a result of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation in the Au NPs, which generates activated O2 through the transfer of SPR-excited hot electrons to O2 molecules adsorbed from air. The SPR-mediated catalytic oxidation of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) to p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) was then employed as a model reaction to probe the effect of rGO as a support for Au NPs on their SPR-mediated catalytic activities. The increased conversion of PATP to DMAB relative to individual Au NPs indicated that charge-transfer processes from rGO to Au took place and contributed to improved SPR-mediated activity. Since the transfer of electrons from Au to adsorbed O2 molecules is the crucial step for PATP oxidation, in addition to the SPR-excited hot electrons of Au NPs, the transfer of electrons from rGO to Au contributed to increasing the electron density of Au above the Fermi level and thus the Au-to-O2 charge-transfer process. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Article: AgPt Hollow Nanodendrites: Synthesis and Uniform Dispersion over SiO 2 Support for Catalytic Applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe the synthesis of AgPt hollow nanodendrites employing Ag nanospheres as seeds by combining a galvanic replacement reaction between Ag and PtCl62− and PtCl62− reduction to Pt in the presence of hydroquinone. AgPt hollow nanodendrites comprised of several Pt islands ≈6 nm in diameter could be obtained in only 15 s following the addition of PtCl62− to a suspension containing Ag nanospheres, and their size and composition could be tuned as a function of the growth time. The synthesis could be scaled up by 100 folds, which enabled us to uniformly support the AgPt nanostructures onto commercial silica. The AgPt nanodendrites displayed good catalytic activities for both the 4-nitrophenol reduction and the BTX oxidation reactions. The results presented herein may inspire the synthesis of noble metal nanostructures displaying attractive features for catalysis, such as hollow interiors, ultrathin walls, and uniform dispersion over solid supports (solid supported catalysts).05/2015; 1(1):46-51.

Article: Controlling the Selectivity of the Surface Plasmon Resonance Mediated Oxidation of p-Aminothiophenol on Au Nanoparticles by Charge Transfer from UV-excited TiO2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although catalytic processes mediated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation have emerged as a new frontier in catalysis, the selectivity of these processes remains poorly understood. Here, the selectivity of the SPR-mediated oxidation of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) employing Au NPs as catalysts was controlled by the choice of catalysts (Au or TiO2 -Au NPs) and by the modulation of the charge transfer from UV-excited TiO2 to Au. When Au NPs were employed as catalyst, the SPR-mediated oxidation of PATP yielded p,p-dimercaptobenzene (DMAB). When TiO2 -Au NPs were employed as catalysts under both UV illumination and SPR excitation, p-nitrophenol (PNTP) was formed from PATP in a single step. Interestingly, PNTP molecules were further reduced to DMAB after the UV illumination was removed. Our data show that control over charge-transfer processes may play an important role to tune activity, product formation, and selectivity in SPR-mediated catalytic processes. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Article: Surface diffusion versus atomic addition: using temperature to maneuver the morphology of Pd nanostructures by seeded-growth[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report herein the synthesis of Pd nanostructures ~64–95-nm range in size displaying controlled surface morphologies by a seeded-growth method employing Pd nanoparticles as seeds. Interestingly, we found that the surface texture and thus the surface area of the produced Pd nanomaterials could be tuned by varying the seeded-growth temperature. Pd nanostructures displaying increasingly higher surface textures were obtained as the seeded-growth temperature was decreased from 95 to 30 °C. These results could be explained based on the variations in the relative rates of atom deposition (V deposition) and surface diffusion (V diffusion) during the Pd growth. The catalytic activities of the Pd nanostructures toward the reduction of 4-nitrophenol augmented with the increase in the surface texture of the produced nanostructures. The results presented herein can have important implications for designing facile approaches to the synthesis of Pd nanostructures with desired features and optimized catalytic performances that can be highly accessible and attractive for large scale production.Journal of Nanoparticle Research 12/2014; 16(12).

However, the role of composition in bimetallic nanoparticles over the SPR-mediated catalytic activity remains unclear. We investigated herein the SPR-mediated catalytic activity of AgAu nanoparticles as a function of composition toward the oxidation of p-aminothiophenol to p,p′-dimercaptoazobenzene. Our results showed that a "volcano-type" relationship between composition and product conversion was observed, with a maximum activity observed for Ag0.19Au0.81 nanoparticles. The variations in catalytic activity could be explained by the balance between the matching of the excitation wavelength with SPR position and the plasmonic damping due to interband transitions above 500 nm. These data suggest that the precise control over composition allows the fine-tuning of catalytic activity in SPR-mediated catalytic processes.Keywords: nanoparticles; bimetallic; silver; gold; SPR; plasmon-mediated catalysis; SERSACS Catalysis 11/2014; 4(11):3815-3819.

Article: Rapid Synthesis of Hollow Ag–Au Nanodendrites in 15 Seconds by Combining Galvanic Replacement and Precursor Reduction Reactions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Metallic nanomaterials displaying hollow interiors as well as sharp tips/branches at their surface (such as hollow nanodendrites) are attractive, because these features enable higher surface-to-volume ratios than their solid and/or rounded counterparts. This paper describes a simple strategy for the synthesis of Ag–Au nanodendrites in 15 s using Ag nanospheres prepared in a previous synthetic step as seeds. Our approach was based on the utilization of Ag nanospheres as seeds for Au deposition by a combination of galvanic replacement reaction between Ag and AuCl4−(aq) and AuCl4−(aq) reduction using hydroquinone in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizer and water as the solvent. The produced Ag–Au nanodendrites presented monodisperse sizes, and their surface morphologies could be tuned as a function of growth time. Owing to their hollow interiors and sharp tips, the Ag–Au nanodendrites performed as effective substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of 4-MPy (4-mercaptopyridine) and R6G (rhodamine 6G) as probe molecules. We believe that the approach described herein can serve as a protocol for the fast and one-step synthesis of Ag–Au hollow nanondendrites with a wide range of sizes, compositions, and surface morphologies for applications in SERS and catalysis.Chemistry - A European Journal 10/2014; 20(46).

ABSTRACT: We report the controlled alloying, oxidation, and subsequent reduction of individual AgAu nanoparticles in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). Through sequential application of electron beam induced oxidation and in situ heating and quenching, we demonstrate the transformation of Ag-Au core-shell nanoparticles into: AgAu alloyed, Au-Ag core-shell, hollow Au-Ag2O core-shell, and Au-Ag2O yolk-shell nanoparticles. We are able to directly image these morphological transformations in real-time at atomic resolution and perform energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum imaging to map changing elemental distributions with sub-nanometre resolution. By combining aberration corrected STEM imaging and high efficiency EDX spectroscopy we are able to quantify not only the growth and coalescence of Kirkendall voids during oxidation but also the compositional changes occurring during this reaction. This is the first time that it has been possible to track the changing distribution of elements in an individual nanoparticle undergoing oxidation driven shell growth and hollowing.Nanoscale 09/2014; 6(22).

Article: Understanding the limitations of the Super-X energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer as a function of specimen tilt angle for tomographic data acquisition in the S/TEM[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have investigated the use of x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy during tomographic hyperspectral imaging experiments in the scanning transmission electron microscope. In this work, we have found that for an analytical system employing a commercial high-tilt tomography holder the measured x-ray signal is limited by shadowing caused by the penumbra of the holder relative to the x-ray detector system. This limits the ability to perform quantitative, elemental tomographic analysis.Journal of Physics Conference Series 06/2014; 522(1):012025. DOI:10.1088/1742-6596/522/1/012025
Article: Size dependence of ultrafast charge dynamics in monodisperse Au nanoparticles supported on TiO2 colloidal spheres[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sub-nanosecond charge dynamics in monodisperse Au nanoparticles (NPs) supported on TiO2 colloidal spheres are studied as a function of NP diameter using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. The decay of the transmittance changes observed in the region of the plasmon resonance of the Au NPs following photoexcitation of the TiO2 spheres are well-described by a bi-exponential function consisting of a fast component of 2 ps duration associated with electron-phonon scattering, followed by a slow and relatively weak component associated with phonon-phonon scattering. The decay constant characterising the latter component was found to be dependent on the size of the Au NPs, rising from 49 ± 3 to 128 ± 6 ps as the diameter of the Au NPs increased from 12.2 ± 2.2 nm to 24.5 ± 2.8 nm, respectively.Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 06/2014; 16(27).

Article: A Facile Strategy to Support Palladium Nanoparticles on Carbon Nanotubes, Employing Polyvinylpyrrolidone as a Surface Modifier (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 9/2014)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes the development of a facile and environmentally friendly strategy for supporting palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with ethanol as the solvent/reducing agent, potassium tetrachloropalladate(II) (K2PdCl4) as the Pd precursor, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the surface modifier. More specifically, our approach was based on the nonbonding interaction between MWCNTs and PVP, which is a cheap, nontoxic, and commercial polymer. As PVP can serve not only as a surface modifier but also as a stabilizing agent for Pd NPs, the utilization of additional functionalization steps, reducing agents, and stabilizers was not required to achieve uniform Pd deposition over the MWCNTs. Our results demonstrate that Pd NPs below 5 nm in diameter can be directly supported on MWCNTs by this route. Also, sequential Pd-reduction steps can be employed to improve the coverage of Pd NPs at the MWCNT surfaces, although this can also lead to the formation of larger Pd particles or aggregates. The electrocatalytic activity for ethanol oxidation was investigated as a function of the composition and structure of the materials produced, in which MWCNTs decorated with Pd NPs of smaller sizes and lower coverages displayed the highest activities. The results described herein suggest that our approach may serve as a simple platform for the synthesis of MWCNTs decorated with metal NPs with well-defined morphologies and uniform dispersion for electrochemical and catalytic applications.Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft 03/2014; 2014(9).

ABSTRACT: Significant elemental segregation is shown to exist within individual hollow silver-gold (Ag-Au) bimetallic nanoparticles produced from the galvanic reaction between Ag particles and AuCl4-. Three dimensional compositional mapping using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) tomography within the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) reveals that nanoparticle surface segregation inverts from Au-rich to Ag-rich as Au content increases. Maximum Au surface coverage was observed for nanoparticles with approximately 25at% Au which correlates to the optimal catalytic performance in a three-component coupling reaction between cyclohexanecarboxyaldehyde, piperidine and phenylacetylene. These results provide important fundamental insights towards optimizing the properties and reducing the cost of precious metal catalysts.Nano Letters 02/2014; 14(4).

Article: AN UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL EXPERIMENT ON THE SYNTHESIS OF Au NANOPARTICLES AND THEIR SIZE-DEPENDENT OPTICAL AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) 15, 26, and 34 nm in diameter, followed by the investigation of their size-dependent optical and catalytic properties, is described herein as an undergraduate level experiment. The proposed experiment covers concepts on the synthesis, stabilization, and characterization of Au NPs, their size-dependent optical and catalytic properties at the nanoscale, chemical kinetics, and the role of a catalyst. The experiment should be performed by groups of two or three students in three lab sessions of 3 h each and organized as follows: i) synthesis of Au NPs of different sizes and investigation of their optical properties; ii) evaluation of their catalytic activity; and iii) data analysis and discussion. We believe that this activity enables students to integrate these multidisciplinary concepts in a single experiment as well as to become introduced/familiarized with an active research field and current literature in the areas of nanoparticle synthesis and catalysis.Química Nova 01/2014; 37(10).

Article: Emeraldine Salt Form of Polyaniline as a Probe Molecule for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrates Excited at 1064 nm[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Associating polyaniline and metallic nanoparticles may result in the combination/synergism of properties, which have been attracting great attention. This paper describes an investigation on the effectiveness of several gold nanostructures acting as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates using the emeraldine salt form of PANI (PANI-ES) as a probe-molecule was verified. The surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) spectra of PANI-ES at 1064 nm result from two enhancement effects: one from the PANI-ES resonance Raman and the other from localized surface plasmon resonance of the gold nanostructures when the plasmon wavelength approaches the NIR region. A considerable SERRS intensity for PANI-ES at the 10 nM level could be obtained using a gold nanoplates colloidal suspension as substrates. The SERRS spectra of PANI-ES and the high correlation between SERRS intensity and LSPR extinction of Au nanostructures at 1064 nm indicate that the enhancement was mostly due to the electromagnetic mechanism. These results indicate that PANI-ES can be employed as a general probe-molecule for the evaluation of SERRS substrates performance at 1064 nm excitation.The Journal of Physical Chemistry C 09/2013; 117(35):18199.

Article: Triangular metal nanoprisms of Ag, Au, and Cu: Modeling the influence of size, composition, and excitation wavelength on the optical properties[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe herein a systematic investigation on the optical properties of Ag, Au, and Cu triangular nanoprisms as a function of size and excitation wavelength using the discrete dipole approximation. Specifically, the edge length was varied from 40 to 100 nm while the thickness was kept at 10 nm. In the far field, our results suggest that the in-plane localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks red-shifted as the edge length increased. In the near field, the magnitude of the electric fields generated close to the surface of the nanoprisms were calculated considering 514, 633, and 785 nm as the excitation wavelengths. The variation on the magnitude of the electric fields can be understood based on the matching between the excitation wavelength and the position of the in-plane dipole and quadrupole LSPR modes. We believe that these results can have important implications in the design of metal nanoprisms for plasmonic applications.Chemical Physics 09/2013; 423:142-150.

ABSTRACT: The polyol method has been widely employed for the synthesis of uniform silver nanowires (Ag NWs) in high yields. In this article, we describe the utilization of HCl oxidative etching as an effective strategy to control the width of Ag NWs produced by the polyol approach. More specifically, the width of the produced Ag NWs could be tuned from 65 to 765 nm by varying the HCl concentration in the polyol recipe. Our results indicate that the obtained widths displayed a linear and steady increase according to the HCl concentration employed in the reaction. Although the width was also dependent on other experimental parameters such as the AgNO(3) and polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) concentrations and temperature, the HCl oxidative etching enabled the controlled synthesis of Ag NWs over the widest range of widths. The size-dependent optical property investigations revealed that the transverse mode surface plasmon resonance peak for the produced Ag NWs red-shifted from 378 to 467 nm as their width increased from 77 to 584 nm. The application of Ag NWs (77 nm) as SERS substrates for the detection of 4-mercaptopyridine was also demonstrated. As the properties of metal nanostructures are strongly dependent upon size, the results reported herein can have important implications for designing the synthesis of uniform Ag NWs in high yields displaying controlled and/or desired dimensions for applications in areas including plasmonics, electronics, and sensing.Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 12/2012; 15(6).

As I Lay Dying add last minute minute Seattle show at El Corazon for October 9th!
THIS JUST IN - Tickets for Friday's show will be valid for Saturday's show as well. Just know this, once your ticket is used, it is used!
October 7th, 2010 - Agoura Hills, CA - This just in from San Diego's As I Lay Dying!
To all of our Seattle fans: "We were just informed that due to a ticketing glitch the Friday Oct-08 Seattle show at El Corazon was oversold by 150 tickets. Since the venue is not by law able to hold this many people, and since we certainly don't want anyone to get turned away at the door on Friday, we have decided on short notice to do a second show on Saturday Oct-09 at El Corazon. Due to the short notice, tickets will be at a reduced price as compared to the Friday show, and the venue will be refunding the $2.50 difference in ticket price to the first 150 ticket holders of the Friday show who are willing and able to attend the Saturday show. We hope this resolves the issue and we look forward to playing two great shows for all of our Seattle fans."
Tickets can be purchased at:

entity-relationship diagram (model)
An entity relationship model, also called an entity-relationship (ER) diagram, is a graphical representation of entities and their relationships to each other, typically used in computing in regard to the organization of data within databases or information systems. An entity is a piece of data-an object or concept about which data is stored.
Relationships Between Entities
A relationship is how the data is shared between entities. There are three types of relationships between entities:
1. One-to-One
One instance of an entity (A) is associated with one other instance of another entity (B). For example, in a database of employees, each employee name (A) is associated with only one social security number (B).
2. One-to-Many
One instance of an entity (A) is associated with zero, one or many instances of another entity (B), but for one instance of entity B there is only one instance of entity A. For example, for a company with all employees working in one building, the building name (A) is associated with many different employees (B), but those employees all share the same singular association with entity A.
3. Many-to-Many
One instance of an entity (A) is associated with one, zero or many instances of another entity (B), and one instance of entity B is associated with one, zero or many instances of entity A. For example, for a company in which all of its employees work on multiple projects, each instance of an employee (A) is associated with many instances of a project (B), and at the same time, each instance of a project (B) has multiple employees (A) associated with it.
ER Diagram Symbols
In an ER diagram, symbols are commonly used to to represent the types of information. Most diagrams will use the following:
- Boxes represent entities.
- Diamonds represent relationships
- Circles (ovals) represent attributes.

Falling Into You finally established Celine Dion as a superstar in America, so its sequel, Let's Talk About Love, was designed to consolidate her position as a newly minted star. The album was constructed as a blockbuster, featuring Dion's trademark melodramatic ballads, some carefully tailored dance-pop, a bevy of duets with the likes of Barbra Streisand and the Bee Gees, and production and songs from adult contemporary gurus David Foster, Jim Steinman, and Walter Afanasieff. Given that so many talented craftsmen worked on Let's Talk About Love, it makes sense that a number of the cuts succeed according to adult contemporary terms -- they are predictably sweeping showcases for Dion's soaring, technically skilled voice. As usual, the singles (including the Streisand duet "Tell Him" and the Titanic love theme "My Heart Will Go On") shine the most brilliantly, but even the filler is immaculately produced. If the end result doesn't quite gel as an album, that shouldn't be surprising -- this is music by committee, a product that was made to appeal to the widest possible audience. Such a calculated execution guarantees that anyone who liked one of the singles shouldn't be disappointed by Let's Talk About, but it doesn't necessarily mean they'll remember all of the record after it's finished playing.

Oman Nuclear Talks Yield Few Results
#Iran's FM #Zarif handshakes with his U.S counterpart at the start of #NuclearTalks in #Muscat, #Oman. #IranTalksOman pic.twitter.com/sYux17MZtj— Nuclear Talks (@NuclearTalks) November 9, 2014
"If we cannot come to a conclusion by Nov. 24, I am sure that those who are performing an objective analysis of the situation definitely will not blame Iran for the possible lack of progress, because Iran has shown its determination to finish the job."
"Enrichment is one [of the main points of contention], of course, and the sanctions, but we also talk about [the] Arak [research reactor] and a number of other things about which we have to come to an agreement. In our judgment the Americans do not want to appreciate what's happening on the ground in Iran as far as the nuclear capabilities and capacities are concerned. We have about 20,000 centrifuges, almost half of which are producing nuclear material, the other half are only spinning. We can't just turn back the clock and say, "now we are in 2005" and are offering what we have offered then."
"You have to keep the status quo! But we are ready to accept some limits to our activities for a specific period of time. And after that specific time we need to be treated like any other member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)."
Nov. 10, 2014 in an interview with Spiegel Online
Obama Renews State of Emergency with Iran
On November 12, President Barack Obama renewed the 35-year-old National Emergency with Respect to Iran, which gives the president broad powers to unilaterally impose sanctions or other punitive measures and regulate trade. President Jimmy Carter declared the state of emergency, which must be extended every year, in 1979 as a response to the U.S. hostage crisis. The following is the notice on the renewal and the text of Obama's letter to Congress.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
UN: Little Progress on Iran Nuclear Program
Iran still has not provided information on key areas of investigation into the potential military dimensions of its nuclear program, according to a November 2014 report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog. Specifically, Iran failed to address two practical measures agreed upon in May 2014. These measures, which were supposed to have been completed by late August, could have helped determine if Iran carried out explosives tests and other activities related to nuclear weapons production.
But the report also confirmed that Tehran is still complying with elements of the interim nuclear deal. Iran has not enriched uranium above five percent and it has converted or downblended all of its uranium enriched to 20 percent. Iran also has not installed any major components at the Arak heavy water reactor. The following are excerpts from the report.
1. Exchanging information with the Agency with respect to the allegations related to the initiation of high explosives, including the conduct of large scale high explosives experimentation in Iran.
Obama Wrote Khamenei on ISIS Threat
President Barack Obama wrote a secret letter to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in mid-October to express concern about the growing threat of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, to the Middle East and the world. The message, which laid out a shared interest in combating ISIS, was the fourth letter Obama has sent since 2009, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The initial report said that Obama stipulated that cooperation on ISIS would be largely dependent on the result of ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the world's six major powers. But when asked about the letter in an interview with CBS, Obama said "we are not connecting in any way the nuclear negotiations from the issue of ISIL." The two sides have until November 24 to reach a final agreement on Tehran's controversial nuclear program. The latest series of talks, launched in October 2013, has featured the highest level engagement between the Islamic Republic and the United States since the embassy takeover, when 52 Americans were held for 444 days.
U.S. and Iranian leaders have sent letters to each other several times during the past decade. In 2006, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sent a strange 18-page letter to President George Bush that declared the failure of Western democracy and criticized U.S. policies in Iraq as irreconcilable with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Ahmadinejad also sent a congratulatory letter to Obama after the 2008 presidential election and another message in March 2010. Obama did not reply to either. But Obama did exchange letters with President Hassan Rouhani sometime after his June 2009 election.
On November 12, a top Iranian official acknowledged the Obama-Khamenei correspondence. "This is not the first time that such a thing has taken place," Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani said on state television, according to AP. "It had previously taken place and necessary response was given to some of them." He said the latest letter focused on nuclear issues and that Iran responded saying that it cannot accept a "decorative" nuclear industry, implying that the United States wants to significantly curtail the program.
Obama administration officials, however, have declined to comment on the contents of Obama's most recent letter to Khamenei. But White House spokesperson Josh Earnest told reporters that U.S. policy on Iran had not changed. "The United States will not cooperate militarily with Iran in that effort [fighting ISIS]," he said. "We won't share intelligence with them. But their interests in the outcome is something that's been widely commented on - commented upon and something that on a couple of occasions has been discussed on the sidelines of other conversations."
On November 9, Bob Schieffer of CBS News asked Obama about the secret letter. The president responded:
I tend not to comment on any communications that I have with various leaders. I'm-- I've got a whole bunch of channels where we're communicating to various leaders around the world. Let me speak more broadly about the policies vis-à-vis Iran. We have two big interests in Iran that are short term and then we got a long-term interest. Our number one priority with respect to Iran is making sure they don't get nuclear weapon. And because of the unprecedented sanctions that this administration put forward and mobilized the world to abide by, they got squeezed, their economy tanked, and they came to the table in a serious way for the first time in a very, very long time. We've now had significant negotiations. They have abided by freezing their program and, in fact, reducing their stockpile of nuclear-grade material or-- or weapons-grade nuclear material. And the question now is are we going to be able to close this final gap so that they can reenter the international community, sanctions can be slowly reduced, and we have verifiable, lock-tight assurances that they can't develop a nuclear weapon. There's still a big gap. We may-- may not be able to get there.
The second thing that we have an interest in is that Iran has influence over Shia, both in Syria and in Iraq, and we do have a shared enemy in ISIL. But I've been very clear publicly and privately we are not connecting in any way the nuclear negotiations from the issue of ISIL. We're not coordinating with Iran on ISIL. There's some de-conflicting in the sense that since they have some troops or militias they control in and around Baghdad, we let them know, don't mess with us, we're not here to mess with you, we're focused on common our enemy but there's no coordination or common battle plan and there will not be because, and this brings me to the third issue, we still have big differences with Iran's behavior vis-à-vis our allies. Then, you know, poking and prodding at-- and-- and creating unrest and sponsoring terrorism in the region, around the world, their anti-Israeli rhetoric and behavior so that's a whole another set of issues which prevents us from ever being true allies...
The letter is one of more than a dozen secret and public attempts at outreach by the Obama administration. The following is a chronology of direct U.S. engagement with Iran since Obama took office in January 2009.
March 20, 2009: President Barak Obama sent a Nowruz (Iranian New Year) message to the Iranian people and government that called for better relations. He also said that Iran's place in the international community "cannot be reached through terror or arms, but rather through peaceful actions."
Obama: Nuclear Deal an Open Question
On November 5, President Barack Obama said that nuclear talks have been constructive but the main question is whether Tehran's leaders "can manage to say yes to what clearly would be better for Iran." In a press conference, he noted that a "sizable portion" of Iran's political elite still finds it convenient to blame America for every ill. When asked if he has the power to unilaterally relax sanctions as part of a deal, Obama said he will wait to see if the world's six major powers can reach a deal with Iran and then engage with Congress. "I don't want to put the cart before the horse," he said. The following are excerpted remarks by Obama.

My fiance and I normally used the "pull out method" or condoms for the last 5 years.. we decided to start trying since I was 29 and he is 34. Well, the FIRST time we didn't use a method I became pregnant.
Seemed like a small miracle to me because honestly, I saw myself having a hard time!
Anyone else have this same awesome experience?

Day 2 in Robbins
... some schools and another daycare....one school wasn't quite prepared for us, so the office told us we could stand in the hallway and entertain the kids as some went to lunch and others went to their buses. It would have been a decent visit, but we had a young teacher who, upon hearing that we were from a circus and GASP! our circus has animals, spent the rest of our time there regurgitating propaganda she'd been fed by ...
A clown on the first day of school
... gym, we met a number of the staff there – all with genuine smiles on their faces and excited for the year to begin. And the caliber of the school's environment was raised even more by the fourth and fifth grade students gathered for the assembly. More often than not, kids of this age are too cool or completely disinterested in being entertained by a clown, but these students really got into it and we had a wonderful time. When we told the principal this, ...
