Supercritical extraction of evening primrose oil: Experimental optimization via response surface methodology
Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) effective extraction parameters (pressure, temperature, static extraction time, and dynamic extraction time) of oil recovery from evening primrose seeds were optimized via response surface methodology (RSM). The results of this study indicated that the linear terms of static and dynamic time and the quadratics of temperature and pressure, as well as the interactions of temperature and static time, pressure and temperature had a significant effect on the oil recovery. The optimum extraction conditions of 14.2 MPa, 47.3°C, 30 min (static extraction time) and 150 min (dynamic extraction time) were obtained. Applying the optimum conditions, a mean experimental recovery of 92.98% (triplicate experiment) was achieved, which is well compatible with the RSM-predicted value (93.61%). The fatty acid composition of extracted evening primrose oil using supercritical CO2 was compared with that obtained by Soxhlet method in which minor difference was observed. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2011

Lending is one of the ways a financial institution makes money. So, it might seem odd that a credit union which makes money by lending would talk to you about debt reduction. After all, the less money LGFCU loans out, the less business the Credit Union has.
The fact of the matter is we like loaning money to members. But all loans are not created equal. Some loans are good for you. Conversely, some debts are harmful. It's important to know the difference between the two.
Good debt improves your life. Good credit can help you get the home of your dreams, buy the right vehicle for your family and purchase the necessities of life. The purpose of good debt should be to help you get ahead in life.
Good debt can be easily recognized. A good loan is affordable and has fair terms. A borrower should be able to make the payments without too much sacrifice. The price for good debt should be reasonable and not too costly. The price of debt includes interest, fees and other requirements.
On the flip side, there are telltale signs to spot bad debts. One sign of bad debt is burdensome payment amounts. If you are struggling to make the payments, you may be in over your head with bad debt. Bad debt can create friction in your family and stress in your life. Bad debt makes your life worse.
If you have bad debts, there are ways to make matters better. If high interest rates are the problem, shop for lower rates. If the payment amounts are too much for your budget, consider refinancing several bad debts into one good loan. The lower, consolidated payment could give you the breathing room your family needs.
If you have bad debts, do something about it. Contact your Credit Union for a loan that will do you some good.

This article originally appeared on The DIV-Net July 18, 2008.
I recently read a paper from Jeremy Siegel and Jeremy Schwartz titled "The Long-term Returns on the Original S&P 500 Firms".
In this paper the authors calculate the total returns of a buy and hold of the original 500 companies in 1957. They found that on average 20 stocks annually have been added and deleted from the index (without considering that a merger of two S&P 500 companies is an addition to the index) since 1957. The authors also used three methods of calculating the returns:
Survivors' Portfolio (SP). The survivor portfolio consists only of shares of the original S&P 500 firms. Shares of other firms received through mergers are immediately sold and the proceeds invested in the remaining survivor firms in proportion to their market value. For example, when Mobil Oil was merged into Exxon in 1999, shareholders of Mobil are assumed to sell the shares they received from Exxon-Mobil and invest the proceeds in the remaining survivor firms. All spinoffs are immediately sold and the proceeds reinvested in the parent firm. Funds received from privatizations are sold and the proceeds re-invested in the original surviving firms in proportion to their market value.
Direct Descendants' Portfolio (DDP), which consists of the shares of firms in the survivors' portfolio plus the shares issued by firms acquiring an original S&P 500 firm. In the case of the Mobil-Exxon merger discussed above, we assume that shareholders of Mobil Oil hold the shares of Exxon that were issued in the merger. If an original firm was taken private, we assume that the cash distributed from the privatization was invested in an indexed portfolio whose returns matched the standard S&P 500 Index.12 If a firm that was taken private is subsequently reissued to the public again, we assume the portfolio repurchases shares in the reissued company with the funds that had been invested in the index at the time the firm went private. As before, spinoffs are immediately sold and the proceeds reinvested in the parent.
Total Descendants' Portfolio (TDP) and includes all firms in the DDP plus all the spinoffs and other stock distributions issued by the firms in the Direct Descendants' Portfolio. The only difference between the TDP and the DDP is that the TDP holds all the spinoffs rather than sell them and reinvest in the proceeds in the parent firm. The TDP is identical to the portfolio of a totally passive investor who holds all the spinoffs and shares issued from mergers and never sells any stock.
My favorite portfolio is the Total Descendants portfolio, since it basically represents a very passive investment strategy – buying stock in 500 companies and then forgetting about them for 50 years.
The authors looked into the return of equal weighted and value weighted returns for the three calculation types.
At the end of the paper they determined that by not updating your portfolio of the original 500 companies, with the annual changes in the S&P 500, you'd have outperformed the average pretty handsomely.
My take on this research is that by purchasing the current 500 stocks in the S&P 500, and allocating all stock equally, an investor will be better off in the long run than simply purchasing an ETF. The reason is that ETF's tend to charge fees of 0.1% annually, which could really add up over time.

About the Author
Robert V. Hogg, Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the University of Iowa since 2001, received his B.A. in mathematics at the University of Illinois and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics, specializing in actuarial sciences and statistics, from the University of Iowa. Known for his gift of humor and his passion for teaching, Hogg has had far-reaching influence in the field of statistics. Throughout his career, Hogg has played a major role in defining statistics as a unique academic field, and he almost literally "wrote the book" on the subject. He has written more than 70 research articles and co-authored four books including Introduction of Mathematical Statistics, 6th edition, with J. W. McKean and A.T. Craig, Applied Statistics for Engineers and Physical Scientists 3rd edtion with J. Ledolter and A Brief Course in Mathematical 1st edition with E.A. Tanis. His texts have become classroom standards used by hundreds of thousands of students

So I really don't see what the problem with this textbook is. It definitely isn't worth it to buy it new, but if you can land a used copy, then it should suit any early-mid undergraduate student just fine. Maybe it isn't as useful for a course in Statistics, and this is what people don't like about it?
In general good Txt has a lot of examples and questions
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
I rate the book a 4.5 stars. The 0.5 stars held back for lack of clear separation throughout the book between where examples end, and where the next topic starts. Plus Chapter 9 (Bayesian Statistics) was a bit wordy/difficult (could just be me).
Other than that, it's been a great book to follow for an Applied Statistics focus. It is not 100% suited for self study (I'd say more like 70% suited), because a Solutions Manual is not readily available. However, with the Home work problems from this book that my instructor assigned every week, and the worked out solutions he provided subsequently, this book was just "fantastic" in getting a good intuition about the subject matter. Especially if you give an honest effort to solving the problems yourself prior to looking at solutions. The homework problems cover many areas of interest, and you can clearly tell are not just made up - at the same time, serve to explain/drill concepts well, without overemphasis on the nonstatitical background of the problem.
Like another reviewer pointed out, this book's "elder sibling", the Hogg/Craig book (which I bought too), is more theoretical/dense/concise in explanations, and is the one probably better suited for a pure Statistics focus.
There might be other books that might be even better if your focus is only on certain areas: for example I really liked Jim Pitman's Probability book (which also I own), and this book could have been used as the text for the Probability portion of the syllabus (i.e., first sem of two semesters). However, there is something to be said about having the same book for 2 courses in 2 semesters, especially when you have to refer back to the earlier course for some concepts.
Another book that is similar to current book and merits a look I believe is Larsen's Introduction to Mathematical Statistics and Its Applications, though I am not a professor who can give you a more educated comparison of the two books based on a ton of experience.
It focuses on some different areas than Wackerly's book, Mathematical Statistics with Applications, which is the best statistics textbook that I've seen. However, this book is shorter than Wackerly, a little cheaper, and covers some areas in slightly more depth. The big drawback is that there's no eBook version for the Kindle, as there is for Wackerly.
I wish that the Amazon listing had sample pages of the book so that people could see what they're thinking about buying. I took a chance on this book and am happy with it, but it was a risk to buy it sight unseen. I held off for a long time because of that.
For instance, there's this part on how to convert limits of integration from one double integral to appropriate ones for a related double integral. The book introduces this saying, "It is often [doing what I just described] which causes the biggest challenge. That is, in most cases, it is easy to [do the rest of the stuff with the double integrals]. However, [doing what I just described] can be more difficult." Okay, not a great start. Does it have an illustrative example? No, in the corresponding example the book just SAYS which limits map to what. Giving it credit, there is a related diagram. But it's somewhat unclear too.
So overall... It's hard to tell what's important, it's hard to tell when an example starts and stops, sometimes the authors go off on what seem like tangents to compute super difficult integrals for a page, sometimes variables are worked with for a minute before it's mentioned what they are. And I agree with another user that it can certainly be difficult to tell whether results are meant as a "this is always true" or "in this case, ...".
I mean, it's not dreadful. I can learn from it, but I have to put more work into it than usual. I would say it's subpar.


text: 6. Steel Dynamics ( STLD) is the fifth-largest producer of carbon steel products. Net profit for 2010 stood at $141 million on net revenue of $6.3 billion, in comparison to a net loss of $8 million on net revenue of $4 billion for 2009. During the fourth quarter, the company announced net profit of $8 million on net revenue of $1.5 billion. In comparison, fourth-quarter 2009 net profit stood at $27 million on net revenue of $1.2 billion. A non-cash asset impairment charge of $13 million related to the company's fabrication operations lowered fourth-quarter earnings. Fourth-quarter steel shipments were 1.3 million tonnes, up 13% compared to fourth-quarter 2009. Looking ahead, Keith Busse, Steel Dynamics CEO, said, "With the expected slow but continual improvement in the U.S. economy, we could see increased volumes compared to 2010 for both our steel and metals recycling operations. Our current expectation is that steel consumption should grow in 2011 in the automotive, transportation, energy, industrial and the agricultural and construction equipment sectors." The stock is trading at 11.3 times its estimated 2011 earnings. Prev 5 of 11 Next

(April 3, 2013) -- The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has received $5 million in pledges in response to a recent $5 million H-E-B Faculty Research Fund matching gift supporting the recruitment and retention of leading scholars and researchers.
The combined $10 million will support 13 new endowed professorships and chairs, critical components to attracting world-class faculty to the university and progressing toward designation as a Tier One research institution.
The gift match brings to 59 the number of endowed faculty positions that have been established at UTSA, representing approximately 9 percent of tenure and tenure-track faculty positions. Twenty-six of those endowments have been established in the last four years.
The newly endowed positions will include:
College of Business
Bodenstedt Chair for the Dean of Business ($1 million)
Melvin Lachman Distinguished Professorship in Entrepreneurship ($500,000)
College of Education and Human Development
Dr. Bertha Perez Endowed Distinguished Professorship in Biliteracy Research ($500,000)
College of Engineering
The Edward E. Whitacre Jr. Endowed Chair in Mechanics ($1 million)
Jacobson Distinguished Professorship of Innovation and Entrepreneurship ($500,000)
College of Liberal and Fine Arts
Stumberg Distinguished University Chair for the Dean of Liberal and Fine Arts ($2 million)
College of Sciences
Rita and John Feik Distinguished University Chair in Medicinal Chemistry ($2 million)
The Semmes Foundation Endowed Chair in Neurobiology ($1 million)
Dr. Weldon W. Hammond Jr. Endowed Distinguished Professorship in Hydrogeology ($500,000)
Office of the Provost
Cloud Technology Endowed Professorships (4) ($250,000 each)
"This is a watershed moment for UTSA," said President Ricardo Romo. "The generosity of H-E-B was the spark that ignited giving by others who saw matching gifts as a way to make their commitments even more impactful. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed so meaningfully to the advancement of faculty excellence."
Among the endowed positions is a $2 million distinguished university chair for research in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, made possible through a $1 million gift from Rita and John Feik and a $1 million match from the H-E-B Faculty Research Fund.
"Education is one of our top priorities for charitable giving, and we like the fact that this gift is perpetual in nature and will endow a long line of accomplishments through UTSA," said John Feik. "We both believe in sharing and giving back, and it's great knowing we are supporting UTSA students from the local area and South Texas," added Rita Feik.
Other endowments include two dean's chairs in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts and the College of Business.
The Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs will oversee four endowed professorships to expand studies and research in cloud computing technology. The endowments were spurred by a gift by the 80/20 Foundation.
Through these endowed chairs and professorships, UTSA faculty will be better positioned to focus on discovery and new knowledge that aligns with the economic growth engines of San Antonio including research in health, energy, sustainability, technology, and human and social development.
"We are committed to bringing world-class educators and researchers to our university, giving our students the opportunity to study side-by-side with leading scholars and educating the next generation of leaders who will contribute meaningfully to our city and its quality of life," Romo said.

What's really there, and how can I tell? If there, it might be > an important file, so need to know... First - thanks Ioannis for the quick reply!! Since it was potentially an important file, I did an 'updatedb' with a few 'locate's for what might have been part of the file name. In one of the searches I found an old lock file for a document that was likely left over from an OO crash many months ago. I didn't think to look for hidden files, so that was why Konq didn't show it in the non-hidden display, even though it reported, correctly, that there was a file there. The correct invocation of ls, as you suggested in your email, was also a way to see it, but I was not thinking 'hidden files'. I'm not sure why Nautilus was so unhappy and just hung - that is not a good behavior, it would seem. And, it showed the dir as empty, even though it was not. I think I like the Konq behavior better... I guess I need to think a bit more broadly about the kind of files to look for when something looks fishy. [Big sigh of relief in finding it was NOT a file system problem] :-)) Again, thanks, -- rikona

In richly intimate songs, David Wilcox creates audio tapestries that blend intricate arrangements and warmly appealing tunes with the musician's ongoing personal growth. Whether recording in a log cabin -- as he did for the 1997 release Turning Point -- or experimenting with unconventional guitar techniques, the introspective Wilcox has produced quality tracks for twenty years' worth of albums filled with poetic purity. He credits his singular style -- folk standards woven with scraps of jazz and pop, rootsy arrangements often flecked with remnants of his brief classical training -- to the rustic influences of Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, but it's his own intense lyrical clarity that makes both his studio and his stage performances unforgettable. Wrap yourself in raw sonic silk when Wilcox plays the Little Bear Saloon this Tuesday, February 15.

DA in ny said nothing should happen to my drivers license in NJ....Jersey now took my license for 90 days and I am suppose to start a new job. How can I get my license back sooner than 90 days so I do not loose this job. NY DA said she will not reduce the charge after I told her what happened to me in NJ. I have a clean driving record and nothing like this has ever happened to me. I do not want to loose my home..etc.....
DUI / DWI Attorney
Answer: You will need to request an administrative hearing before the Motor Vehicle Commission.
Explanation: A little know fact by prosecutors is how a traffic offense will effect a defendant's home state license. Unfortunately, you find yourself in this situation because of that. Your immediate concern needs to be addressed by requesting a hearing with the Motor Vehicle Commission and I would highly recommend retaining an attorney for that hearing. Secondly you may want to consider consulting a New York attorney and asking about retracting your guilty plea (if you plead) or appealing your guilty finding. If you choose to challenge the New York conviction, this would give you more ammunition at the NJMVC hearing. If you need further information or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact my Firm.
Please be advised that the information provided in this answer is for general informational purposes only. While we strive to ensure that the information is accurate, without knowledge of all of the facts of a particular matter, this Firm's information and answers are not guaranteed. Further, the Law Firm's answer does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need further advice or wish to retain our Firm, please contact us by e-mail or phone.
Criminal Defense Attorney
Why did you take legal advice from the DA? Speak to a NY lawyer to see if there is a way to re-open the case or appeal based on the fact that you were not aware your NJ license would be suspended. I'm not sure if it's possible as I don't know NY law, but you should have at least talked to a NY attorney about your NY DWI.
Litigation Lawyer
Speak with a lawyer licensed to practice in New York. Many NJ lawyers (with offices in NJ) also practice in NY.
IMPORTANT: Mr. Murray's response is NOT legal advice and does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. You should NOT rely on this response. Mr. Murray's response was generated without conducting a full inquiry as would occur during an attorney-client consultation. It is likely that the response above may be made less accurate, or become entirely inaccurate, as you, i.e. the questioner, disclose additional facts that should only be discussed during a private attorney-client consultation. I strongly recommend that you consult an attorney who is licensed to practice law in your state (or, in the case of immigration law, an attorney in ANY state), whereupon all relevant facts will be discussed.

DUI / DWI Attorney
First you will need to retain an attorney in New Jersey and file an appeal of the suspension of your New Jersey Privileges. Then you will need to withdraw your plea in New York and fight the charges. Your lawyer from the New York case may be able to help you with this. If you did not have an attorney in New York, it will actually make withdrawal of the plea more attainable.
