The price of gold continues to consolidate around the psychologically important level of 1100. In case of continued rising dynamics and fixation above 1110 growth will continue to the target levels around 1140-1150. The fall is limited by the inclined support line and its break through will be the basis for further decline to 1065 and 1050. We expect continued consolidation within the triangle the price in the near future.
Nearest resistance levels: 1110, 1120, 1140, 1150, 115, 1190, 1205
Nearest support levels: 1080, 1065, 1050, 1040, 1000, 960
The price of Light sweet crude oil shows a strong growth after has not been able to overcome the level of 28.00 and started to correct after the sharp fall recorded this month. As a result, the price has returned to the downward channel, and soon will reach the resistance at 33.00, after which growth may continue until 35.00. According to our estimates, the current correction will be short and we recommend waiting for the signal for the opening short positions. Our medium-term outlook remains negative.
Nearest resistance levels: 33.00, 35.00, 36.00, 38.00, 40.00, 40.75, 42.00, 43.65
Nearest support levels: 31.00, 30.00, 28.00, 25.00, 22.00, 20.00

It's good to be king. Just look at porn superstar Johnny Hazzard on the recently leaked box cover for Kings of New York. The always stunning stud is the new face of Season 2 of the popular online series from Lucas Entertainment. Last season, we got comedian Andy Dick (in his inevitable gay porn debut) and drag diva Lady Bunny playing husband and wife. Now, director Marc MacNamara is promising more thrills with cameos from reality star Reichen Lehmkuhl (below), "Tan Mom" trainwreck Patricia Krentcil (bottom pic with Marc) and RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Latrice Royale. Oh, and there will be some gay porn stars on hand too! Besides the ever-handsome Hazzard, expect Dean Monroe and Christopher Daniels (in a circus-themed scene that was filmed during Black Party weekend last March), Jimmy Durano, Angelo Marconi, Liam Magnuson and Duncan Black to do the sex thing. Otherwise, it's all just dialogue, plot and story line! For more information, visit Lucas Entertainment.

She loves them.
This guy I nicknamed the Big Boy for a reason. Perfect length and girth. The suction cup is an added bonus.
I bought the 6' clear version and while it does have a slightly rubber smell to it, this is the best toy I've ever purchased. I was looking for something a little bit more flexible and soft and, though slightly larger than I'd anticipated, this fit the bill. I have to...adjust....to it's girth but overall I'm extremely pleased with the product and would recommend this to others
Bought three different toys in this order, this one was the biggest. Didn't take me long to get to it, not too huge for someone with experience, feels terrific, does hve that "odor" everyone mentions, I can tolerate it, usually use a condom so it cuts it down in smell. Not too rigid, but fills you up and makes for an epic orgasm in no time!
Finally found the perfect size others I purchased where to big when they arrived

Pneumococcal 7-valent Conjugate Vaccine (Diphtheria CRM197 Protein), Prevnar , is a sterile solution of saccharides of the capsular antigens of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F individually conjugated to diphtheria CRM197 protein. Each serotype is grown in soy peptone broth. The individual polysaccharides are purified through centrifugation, precipitation, ultrafiltration, and column chromatography. The polysaccharides are chemically activated to make saccharides which are directly conjugated to the protein carrier CRM197 to form the glycoconjugate. This is effected by reductive amination. CRM197 is a nontoxic variant of diphtheria toxin isolated from cultures of Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain C7 (β197) grown in a casamino acids and yeast extract-based medium. CRM197 is purified through ultrafiltration, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and ion-exchange chromatography. The individual glycoconjugates are purified by ultrafiltration and column chromatography and are analyzed for saccharide to protein ratios, molecular size, free saccharide, and free protein.Dexlansoprazole is stable when exposed to light.

Rock crawler full wrap Hexis HX20468B ivory gloss
sup sup, so this was day .5 on the rock crawler full wrap. going with Hexis HX20468B ivory gloss for the body & 3m 1080 gloss white for the roof. gonna have that old school land rover look to it! this is my homies long overdue project! did the hood yesterday evening, took me 4hrs to do this damn hood! mainly because i was pretty much the only person working on it. lots of dips and curves to tackle, and the leuvers, man... the leuvers.... those damn things took me like 40min to do both sides!... will complete the rest of the rig sometime later nxt week. he still gotta prep and trim some of the aluminum side parts and stuff... came out great tho! he's super stoked about this! Wu! Wraps
sup sup, so got a chance to work on the rock crawler some more! did the front grill last night. this thing took about 2hrs to complete! not easy but not super hard. i laid down the 3m 1080 gloss white 1st, was kinda tricky dropping into the 2 edges... got it all down nice and flat, and cut by hand. then i laid down some knifeless tape on the edge of the white with a 1-2mm overlap. then i laid down the hexis ivory gloss over the the top, worked it around and cut it just under the headlights. then filled the lower edge with a seam. looks dope! has that old 60's/70's retro look & feel to it. will try and finish the sides & roof of the crawler sometime wed-fri of nxt wk. will keep you guys posted! Wu! Wraps
up sup, so finished the rock crawler today! did the 2 side parts & the roof. also had to touch up some parts on the hood, this things already taken some abuse so couple patches here n there and its good to go. total job time on this was 9.5hrs (i got 9.5 into it, and jackie has 1). the sides will for sure get mangled and dented and torn so nothing too special, just lay it down, press out the air, and trim it right at the edge. i'm sure this will not be the last time i lay vinyl down on this rig. might be doing the face of the rims in white too! owner is lovin tha new look! Wu! Wraps
Honda CBR parts 3m 1080 matte dark gray
sup sup, did these a couple nights ago. Honda CBR parts done in 3m 1080 matte dark gray. parts were pretty beat when brought to me, had to sand some spots a bit more here n there. parts weren't perfect by any means. overall came out great! i wrapped the side parts in 1 piece, the rear fairing in 4 pieces of vinyl (2 sides, 1 front, 1 rear top), and the tank cover in 1 piece with a seam along the bottom as it meets the middle fairing to hold the vinyl down. this job took me 6.5 hrs to complete, as always bike parts are the hardest to wrap!

Retired CVM Professor
Robert "Bob" Miller Passes Away
Dr. Robert Bruce "Bob" Miller
Dr. Robert Bruce "Bob" Miller of Columbia, Missouri, a retired veterinarian and University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine faculty member, passed away at his home on Tuesday, Oct. 4. He was 85 years old.
He was born on March 17, 1931, in rural Eureka, Kansas, where he lived with his parents and brothers on their farm. He rode his horse to grade school and, against his parents' wishes and without their knowledge, hitchhiked to a nearby airfield where he earned his pilot's license. He attended Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas, and then transferred to Kansas State University in Manhattan, where he earned his undergraduate degree and a doctorate in veterinary medicine. He was a member of the Acacia Fraternity, served in the Missouri National Guard, and was a member of the Missouri United Methodist Church, where he had many valued friendships.
In his early professional life, Dr. Miller and his family lived in Warrensburg, Missouri, where he was co-owner of the B&B Animal Hospital for nearly 20 years. In 1973, he accepted an appointment at the University of Missouri and earned a master's degree in veterinary pathology and a PhD in pathology. He had an extensive body of research and published works, lectured throughout the world, and received tenure in 1980. He retired from full-time work in 1999, but remained active in furthering the advancement of veterinary medicine at the university and through national and international organizations.
Countless veterinarians across the country and world were taught and influenced by Dr. Miller during his more than three decades at the CVM and through his continuing education efforts. Veterinary clients across mid-Missouri depended on his keen diagnostic skills and his quiet understanding and connection to the animals he treated. He was awarded the prestigious Veterinarian of the Year Award in 2012 by the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association.
"Veterinary medicine has allowed a Kansas farm boy to travel widely and to daily meet wonderful people from all walks of life," he once wrote.
He was active in more than 15 professional organizations, including serving as president of the Western Veterinary Conference, director of the Missouri Cattle Institute, diplomate emeritus and president of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, district director of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, and an honorary member of the Missouri Academy of Veterinary Practice. He was called a "leader in his field demonstrating dedication to veterinary medicine and continuing education" by Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine when he was honored with the Alumni Recognition Award in 2004.
Dr. Miller is survived by his wife of 60 years, Dr. Phyllis A. Miller; daughter Deborah M. Clark and son-in-law Stephen E. Clark, of Anchorage, Alaska; son Raymond R. Miller and daughter-in-law Deanne R. Crewse of Cairo, Egypt; daughter Karen M. Pensiero and son-in-law F. James Pensiero of Verona, New Jersey; and grandchildren Gina N. Pensiero and her wife, Anika Pensiero, Madeline R. Pensiero, and Samuel J. Pensiero.
A celebration of Dr. Miller's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 10, at the Missouri United Methodist Church at 204 S. 9th St., Columbia, Missouri. The family suggests donations to the Missouri United Methodist Church Elevator fund, which may be sent to the church, or to the Bob Miller Food-Animal Proficiency Award, c/o the Office of Advancement, W210 Veterinary Medicine Building, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, 65211.
Condolences may be left online for the family at www.ParkerMillard.com.

Cape Town and Peninsula Shopping
When it comes to shopping, Cape Town has something for everyone—from sophisticated malls to trendy markets. Although African art and curios are obvious choices (and you will find some gems), South Africans have woken up to their own sense of style and creativity, and the results are fantastic and as diverse as the people who make up this rainbow nation. So in a morning you could bag some sophisticated
tableware from Carrol Boyes, a funky wire-art object from a street vendor, and a beautifully designed handbag made by HIV-positive women working as part of a community development program.
Cape Town has great malls selling well-known international brands. The V&A Waterfront is an excellent place to start by virtue of its location at the harbor. Cavendish Square in Claremont and Canal Walk at Century City are also vast, the latter on the N1 heading out of town toward Paarl. But you could be anywhere in the world. Gardens Centre in the suburb of Gardens is small and manageable, offering a good selection of stores (Germans love it for the German deli). It's beyond the malls that you can get a richer shopping experience, one that will give you greater insight into the soul of the city and its people.
Shopping malls usually have extended shopping hours beyond the normal 9–5 on weekdays and 9–1 on Saturday. Most shops outside of malls (except for small grocery stores) are closed on Sunday.

Dear Readers,
I'm in paradise…
Or…better yet, I was. My family and I were fortunate enough to be able to take a gorgeous vacation this year. We vacationed in stunning Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Hawaii is truly a magical place, and not only because it has some of the most amazing beaches on this planet…because it does.But also, because its people are some of the sweetest folks i've met, and its culture is really something. Not to mention the FOOD! Whenever I happen to be in Hawaii, I always manage to come back home with a few extra pounds as souvenirs. 🙂
Nevertheless, the trip is always magical and totally worth it. Just take a look at these amazing sights!
Hawaii proved to be an incredibly magical vacation, and I am hoping to be able to visit again soon. Because Hawaii is relatively close to our friends in Asia, I found many stores that carried Korean and Japanese skin care. It didn't take long for me to start prowling the Asian skin care aisles at one of the largest outdoor malls, the Ala Moana shopping center. I tried really hard to be good, but I just couldn't resist the temptation that is Korean skincare. After spending way more than what I originally planned on, I comforted myself by reminding myself that Korean skincare stores are indeed scarce here in Colorado. 🙂
Anyways, I am extremely excited to be able to share my Korean skincare haul with y'all soon. I've already been testing all these lotions and potions, not to mention those amazing Korean sheet masks that have been all the rage. I've found quite a few favorites, and possibly some new holy grail products to add to my skin care collection. So, stay tuned!
xoxo – Andrea

Mesa Community College was the first community college in the state of Arizona to offer an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree and Certificate of Completion in Biotechnology. The program has been conducting classes since the Fall semester of 2001 and is staffed by faculty members with Ph.D. degrees in the fields of Microbiology, Biochemistry and Cell and Molecular Biology. Originally conceived as a vocational program designed to meet the demand of the state's growing Bioindustry, the program has since broadened to also serve transfer students in pursuit of bachelor's and advanced degrees in cell and molecular biology and related fields.
Students enrolled in the MCC Biotechnology Program receive a strong background in the fundamentals of biology and chemistry in addition to intense hands-on training in an atmosphere akin to authentic research laboratories. This training includes but is not limited to documentation skills, experimental design, nucleic acid manipulations, eukaryotic cell culture, real-time PCR, fluorescent microscopy and the use of DNA microarrays.
Students receive real industry experience through a capstone internship course. Industry partners include Tgen, Orthologic, Flow Chips, Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital, Gensensor, Alcor Life Extension, and research labs at the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center.
Graduates of the MCC Biotechnology program have found employment at various institutions including Tgen, Genosensor Corporation and Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital. Several graduates of the MCC Biotechnology Program are currently pursuing Ph.D. degrees at various institutions around the country.
When one compares the cost, amount of hands-on lab time, low student to teacher ratio, the transfer and industry opportunities, it is easy to see why Mesa Community College is the premiere institution in Arizona for beginning a career in biotechnology.

Can we hope to see a detailed lore database and tech database of ships, from an in-game POV?
Yes we can.
I mean with full details, like length, tech data, story background...
you know, like the Homeworld manuals.
Well effectively it's just reusing much of the information that will be displayed elsewhere in the game, so again; yes.
That's not bad I like immersion.
There is so much lore and background details devised already, and this is continually being expanded. The sneak peaks shown on the website are mere icebergs.
I can't enjoy it right now as my rig has died. hence the abundance of questions!
Any update on this?
Are you up to date with the latest stories? I just finished the latest over on my own website: http://andherethewheel.co.nz/news/
Lore comes into the game as it gets updated.
We have a short story collection with additional information available on Amazon called 'Shallow Space: Factions':
We have lore guides available to the team, but those aren't for public consumption at this stage.
Hope that helps!
Thank you. I was more curious about the Tech-database idea, from an in-game perspective.

Cold Weather Could Cause Pump Fires
Missouri association warns drivers about the dangers of static electricity at dispensers.
ST. LOUIS -- While getting in and out of a car to fill up at gas pumps may seem like a pretty safe activity, there's some evidence that it can be dangerous. As motorists hit the highways for the holiday season, the Missouri Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association and the Missouri Department of Agriculture are warning drivers about the potential for static electricity fires at the pumps.
As the theory goes, motorists generate a static electric charge by the mundane act of getting off their car seats. There have been reported cases of the phenomenon in Missouri and other states in recent years. In 2000, for example, there were 14 reports of pump fires caused by static in Missouri.
"The cold, dry air we experience during winter, combined with fabric friction caused by getting in and out of your car, creates the potential for static electricity discharge that can ignite flammable gasoline vapors released during fueling," said Kerry Brettschneider, administrator for the state Agriculture Department's petroleum, propane and anhydrous ammonia program.
The Agriculture Department division regulates fuel pumps. National Weather Service officials have said that static electricity builds up quickly inside a vehicle when the heater is running because the humidity is greatly reduced. Ordinary friction of coats and sweaters makes things worse.
Ron Leone, executive director of the Missouri Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association, said government safety standards for fuel pumps require grounding systems to prevent fires. "Consumers should be confident that fueling your vehicle is a very safe activity," Leone said yesterday. "However, to reduce the very small risk of static fires at the gas pump, we recommend some safety precautions."
Precautions include staying outside the vehicle while pumping gas, making sure car doors are closed so gas vapors can't enter and touching metal away from the fuel tank to discharge static.

Japan's nuclear watchdog says the radioactive water that has accumulated at the battered Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant must be decontaminated and dumped into the ocean, local media reported. The news has sparked concern from local fisherman.
"We have to dispose of the water," Shunichi Tanaka, chairman of the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA), told a media conference after visiting the crippled nuclear power plant on Friday, Asahi Shimbun reported.
The NRA chief was referring to the contaminated water stored in tanks on the premises of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant. He added that the water, which is tainted with radioactive material, poses a risk to the safety of the decommissioning work.
Tanaka has previously stated that the radioactive water at the site needs to be decontaminated so it falls under safety standards, and then it must be released into the sea.
This is aimed at battling growing amounts of toxic water accumulating in the plant's buildings, and at reducing the volume of groundwater that is flowing through the premises and becoming contaminated.
"We also have to obtain the consent of local residents in carrying out the work, so we can somehow mitigate [the increase in tainted water]," he added on Friday. "While [the idea] may upset people, we must do our utmost to satisfy residents of Fukushima."
Local fishermen have expressed concern over the contaminated water and other issues linked with water management at the Fukushima plant.
Fukushima Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Co-operative Associations submitted a petition that calls on the government and Tokyo Electric Company (TEPCO), the nuclear plant's operator, to make sure that the water released into the Pacific is safe and below the required radiation levels.
Plans to dump the water from the crippled nuclear plant into the ocean after removing the most dangerous radioactive elements were voiced as early as March. However, TEPCO's initial efforts failed and the plan was indefinitely suspended after malfunctions crippled the water purification process and recontaminated thousands of tons of already cleaned liquid.
Some 400 tons of untainted groundwater are believed to be seeping into the buildings of the Fukushima plant on a daily basis. It is then mixing with the toxic water generated in the process of cooling the crippled reactors. TEPCO collects the radioactive groundwater and stores it at the site of the plant. However, storing the groundwater becomes more difficult each day, as the water quantity continues to increase.
Following the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, three reactors at the plant suffered nuclear meltdowns, causing a radioactive fallout. The catastrophe was the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986. TEPCO is engaged in a cleanup process at the site, which has been dogged by delays and setbacks. In January, the company started erecting a controversial underground frozen wall which is planned to stop radioactive water from seeping into the sea.

How's about a synopsis, or at least a less obtuse clue as to what the devil is involved? Maybe even a hint at how long the pimped video is?
Good grief this is starting to get tiresome.
UHM, Hello?
No response?
You posted at midnight. I posted a request for clarification 68 minutes later.
It is now nearly 4 hours after my reply to your post. What happened?
Are you trying to "fog" the commentary here?
Hi Don.. Guess what? I work 2 jobs and was at work last night. I dont surf the net while at work. However, I have a response NOW for you.
Well Don
Like most people . which does not include you-— we have jobs and a real life-—and have not completed Special Ops Posting Boot Camp nor have we been awarded a Dikhead Decoder Ring, you rude little pompous jackass..
The post itself was a synopsis, Professor, and IF there was a requirement to provide the time, I would have provided it.
The creator of the show was nominated for a CPAC 2013 Video Blogger of the Year Award-— So why should I not post this? What rule does it violate.
Also, you have WAY too much time on your hands demanding a clarification from me or anyone else. I owe you nothing. I will reply as above.

Solar Power System Installation

Instructor: Dr. Itihad Al Amer

Basma Al Hammadi (H00154330)
Safiya Al Hammadi (H00154249)
Current Solar Technology
Types of Solar Energy Systems
-involves the design of buildings, homes and lighting
-focuses on the placement of the home or building to acquire as much energy as possible from sunlight
-involves the use of walls, windows, roofs, floors, landscaping and home exteriors to maximize the control over heat from the sun
-considerations to be acknowledged when designing a house for passive solar energy (Mother Nature Network, 2012):
-site location: the house should be located in an area where there will be sun (example: building a home in the midst of a thick forest and expecting to use a passive solar system to get heating and cooling probably won't work)
-seasonal shading: the house must also be designed so that there will be minimal heat from the sun during the summer and an optimal amount of heat from sun during the cold winters. This is usually done by the design of the roof.
-orientation: windows should be pointing to the south so there is exposure from the sun.
How is Electricity Produced?
Photovoltaic (PV)
A photovoltaic panel (or a solar panel) is made up of photovoltaic cells. These cells are semiconductors and are usually made from silicon. The PV panels also have anti-reflective coating so that the maximum amount of sunlight is absorbed instead of being reflected.
The semiconductor also has a positively charged side and a negatively charged side (usually made of boron and phosphorus). When sunlight is absorbed, the positively and negatively charged sides are stimulated and a direct current is produced.
This current must be changed to an alternating current in order to be used for electricity. This change from DC to AC occurs in an inverter.
This alternating current then travels to the fuse box, where it is distributed to the appliances in different rooms where it is needed.
The metering box (as shown in the image to the right) can also be used for homeowners to gain money from energy suppliers. The metering box shows how much electricity is generated from the PV panels. The generated electricity that is not used by the homeowner can also be used to help supply electricity for the electrical grid.
-involves the use of other mechanisms to make electricity or heat
-solar panels are used to absord solar energy to be used in solar water heaters to provide heat/cool air to a building (solar collectors) or to convert sunlight into electricity by using a semi-conductive panel to generate electricity when stimulated by the sun
-other active solar power systems are:
-solar ponds
-dish systems
-dish-engine systems
-trough systems
-solar power towers
-solar furnaces
"Why do you think this form of generating electricity will or will not become the principal source of electricity in the future?"
I think that solar energy could become the principle energy source because although it is expensive to install initially, there will most likely be an overall decrease in utility taxes and money earned from energy suppliers could be enough to recover the amount of money that was lost due to installations. Also, solar energy is environmentally-friendly, which is something everyone should be looking for, due to the impact of global warming on animals everywhere. The sun is guaranteed to be around for billions of years, so despite the fact that the sun is not available all 24 hours of the day, it will be available for billions of years. The advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages and for these reasons, I believe that solar energy should become the principle source of electricity in the future.

Rooks turned down offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Connecticut and Washington in order to become a Golden Bear.
One of the reasons Rooks chose Cal was his overall comfort level in the school.
"It's where he was most comfortable," said Anthony Bolton, who coaches Rooks with his high school and Gamepoint AAU team. "Obviously with every decision there are pros and cons, but he was comfortable with the staff, the school, the program and the academics. Everything fit him as a person and a player."
Bolton credited the Cal coaching staff for doing a good job building a relationship with Rooks over the past month to the point where he was comfortable going to Berkeley.
"They did a very good job," he said. "Travis DeCuire came down to see us, and so did Gregg Gottlieb and John Montgomery. They did a great job recruiting him. Travis drove down to the Mission Prep tournament just to see us. They made a great effort of establishing a relationship with us."
"I like how hands on the coaching staff is and how they coach their bigs," said Rooks. "They know how to use their big men."
When Rooks arrives at California as a freshman, he won't have expectations for playing time, one way or the other.
"He has a long time between the end of his senior year to the beginning of his freshman year where he's going to put a lot of work in and we'll see where he's at; there are no expectations," Bolton said.
"He's not expecting to play and he's not expecting to sit. He's going to get to work and see where he's at when he gets there. If he plays then he'll be happy and if not he's understanding that he'll need to continue to work and get better until he's ready to go."
Rooks is joining a talented 2013 recruiting class at California, something that made his decision easier.
"He's excited about coming in with guys like Jabari Bird and Jordan Mathews," Bolton said. "Just being a part of a group like that, being a piece of that puzzle is exciting."
The Cal commit is already looking forward to getting on campus and making an impact.
"I see myself going out there and playing as hard as I can," Rooks said. "I'll rebound, help on offense and try to get people open.

Wall stickers provide a simple, stylish way to transform any space. Offered in a wide range of colours and designs, you can let your imagination run free.
Creating instant impact and easy to install, read on to discover how to use these clever decorative accessories to makeover your child's room...
Rather than investing in an overall theme that your child might grow out of, wall stickers are a great way to incorporate their favourite things in an easily interchangeable way.
For example, if your child becomes interested in a certain sport as they get older, simply take down one wall sticker and replace it with something that reflects their newfound passion. He Shoots, He Scores! Vinyl Wall Decal would be great for a young football fan!
We think it's important that children are permitted to express their personalities in their bedroom as it's often the only room in the house where they're able to do so. Adding a chalkboard decal will give them a creative space to showcase their artistic flair.
Alternatively, let your child feel as if they're decorating their own room by involving them in the placement of smaller stickers like our I Dream of Butterflies Vinyl Wall Decal.

This fascinating book explores Benjamin Franklin's social and political thought. Although Franklin is often considered "the first American," his intellectual world was cosmopolitan. An active participant in eighteenth-century Atlantic debates over the modern commercial republic, Franklin combined abstract analyses with practical proposals. Houston treats Franklin as shrewd, creative, and engageda lively thinker who joined both learned controversies and political conflicts at home and abroad.
Drawing on meticulous archival research, Houston examines such tantalizing themes as trade and commerce, voluntary associations and civic militias, population growth and immigration policy, political union and electoral institutions, freedom and slavery. In each case, he shows how Franklin urged the improvement of self and society.
Engagingly written and richly illustrated, this book provides a compelling portrait of Franklin, a fresh perspective on American identity, and a vital account of what it means to be practical.

Chapter OneCommerce
The Use of Money is all the Advantage there is in having Money. - Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac (1737)
"'Tis hard for an empty Bag to stand upright"
Benjamin Franklin had a money problem. In the spring of 1726, after eighteen eventful months, he had "grown tired of London." Having reached the age of twenty, he longed to return to Pennsylvania. He had a career waiting for him, as clerk to the Philadelphia merchant Thomas Denham. The starting salary was modest, just u50 a year, but colonial trade was on the upswing, and his prospects for improvement were excellent. There was just one problem: he did not have enough money to pay for his passage home.
"A penny saved is a penny got," but Franklin was having difficulty saving his pennies. He had traveled to London at the behest of Pennsylvania's governor, Sir William Keith. Keith considered Franklin "a young Man of promising Parts" and had offered to set him up in the printing business. Franklin sailed in expectation of letters of recommendation and instruments of credit that would enable him to obtain the supplies needed to set up a colonial print shop. To his horror and dismay,on reaching England he discovered that Keith had provided neither. Just three years earlier Franklin had run away from the Boston print shop of his brother and master, James. When he arrived in Philadelphia in the fall of 1723, he was penniless and friendless, possessing little more than the clothes on his back. Now, once again, he was on his own. A fellow passenger advised that he make the best of it; "among the Printers here ... you will improve yourself; and when you return to America, you will set up to greater Advantage."
Franklin immediately found employment at Samuel Palmer's print shop and set about exploring the city. He was not alone; he had been accompanied on the voyage by James Ralph, a Philadelphia friend who aspired to become an actor. Or a writer. Or a copyist. (Eventually he settled on teaching.) Ralph had no money, so he borrowed from Franklin. Together they went to the theater, listened to speeches and sermons, and visited clubs, coffeehouses, and taverns. Both were charmed by the women of London. Ralph took up with a "sensible and lively" young milliner. When Ralph left London to seek employment, she turned to Franklin for comfort and financial support. He "grew fond of her Company," but the only thing his "attempted Familiarities" brought was a firm rebuff from the milliner and a "Breach" in his friendship with Ralph.
In the Autobiography Franklin tells us that he left Palmer's for Watts's, near Lincoln's Inn Fields, so that he could begin saving money. He "spent but little" upon himself; his poverty was due to Ralph, who refused to repay the u27 he had borrowed. A story passed down by the descendents of Zabdiel Boylston, a Boston physician who visited London in 1725, suggests otherwise. Boylston would have been well known to Franklin-he had been James Franklin's doctor-and Franklin is reported to have appeared before him in "extreme distress," "without money, friends or counsel," asking for help. Boylston is said to have given him 20 guineas. The Franklin scholar J. A. Leo Lemay dismisses this as "apocryphal." After all, Franklin was gainfully employed almost from the moment he set foot in London. But Thomas Denham's account book gives credence to Boylston family memories. In April 1726 Denham lent Franklin u10 for passage to Philadelphia. But over the previous six months-before his offer of employment-Denham appears to have lent Franklin over u6 for "cash" and "sundries." Later, Poor Richard would warn, "Rather go to bed supperless, than run in debt for a Breakfast." These were lessons learned in the breach. Even without Ralph's help, Franklin lived beyond his means.
From start to finish, Franklin's sojourn in London was defined by relationships of credit and debt, trust and betrayal. The lending and collecting of money was only one facet of these bonds. Keith offered Franklin financial assistance but also the power of personal recommendation. He reneged on both. Ralph sponged Franklin's money, shared his louche life, and then, when seeking employment outside London as a tutor, borrowed Franklin's name as well. Denham offered Franklin small loans to help tide him over. More important, he offered to bring Franklin into his Philadelphia home, where he would teach him business skills and treat him as a future partner.
The Franklin visible in London contrasts sharply with the man of lore and legend. Joseph Dennie, a Federalist appalled by the rise of Jeffersonian democracy, denigrated Franklin as a small-minded man, the kind of person "who has the pence table by heart and knows all the squares of multiplication." Nathaniel Hawthorne thought that Poor Richard's proverbs were "all about getting money, or saving it." The most inspired of these attacks-and the only one that matches Franklin's wit-came from Mark Twain: "His simplest acts" were "contrived with a view to their being held up for the emulation of boys forever-boys who might otherwise have been happy..... Franklin once said in one of his inspired flights of malignity, 'Early to bed and early to rise/Make a man healthy and wealthy and wise.' As if it were any object to a boy to be healthy and wealthy and wise on such terms. The sorrow that that maxim has cost me through my parents' experimenting on me with it, tongue cannot tell." Finally, there is the influential argument of Max Weber, the German sociologist who suggested that Franklin exhibited the "spirit of capitalism" with "almost classical purity." Weber's analysis was free of moralizing cant, but he agreed with Hawthorne: Franklin's whole life was subordinated to the task of making more and more money. (Weber's depiction of Franklin is explored in detail in the appendix.)
Finding passages in Franklin's writings to support these views is not difficult. For example, Franklin famously advised young tradesmen to "remember that Time is Money. He that can earn Ten Shillings a Day by his Labor, and goes abroad, or sits idle one half of that Day, though he spends but Sixpence during his Diversion or Idleness, ought not to reckon That the only Expense; he has really spent or rather thrown away Five Shillings besides." That certainly sounds like the way to wealth. But is it? And is it expressive of Franklin's deepest insights into work and labor? Franklin retired from business at the age of forty-two, with the expectation that the "moderate Fortune" he had acquired as printer and bookseller would secure him "Leisure to read, study, make Experiments, and converse" with friends. In comparison, the character described by Dennie, Hawthorne, Twain, and Weber seems wooden and one-dimensional, like a prop on a stage or a mannequin in a store window. But what of Franklin's pithy phrases? Don't they reveal something distinctive about his economic ethos? Perhaps. But recall that Franklin was a voracious reader. The vast majority of Poor Richard's proverbs were the "Gleanings" of his studies. "A penny saved is a penny got"? "No gains without pains"? "Haste makes waste"? "Rather go to bed supperless, than run in debt for a Breakfast"? "'Tis hard for an empty Bag to stand upright"? These were already well known in seventeenth-century Britain. And what of Twain's nemesis, that deepest and most distinctive expression of Franklin's priorities, "Early to Bed, and early to rise, makes a Man healthy, wealthy and wise"? With only slight variation-"Early to go to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"-it, too, was familiar decades before Franklin was born. Franklin was a brilliant writer and a creative thinker, but he was not autochthonous. He lived and wrote in relationship to others, in an intellectual context as vast as the Atlantic.
If we are to grasp the sophistication and originality of Franklin's thoughts on work and labor, then we cannot restrict our attention to the words of Poor Richard or the facts of Franklin's life. We must also explore Franklin's participation in eighteenth-century Atlantic debates over the theory and practice of commercial society. In Franklin's day, the word commerce carried the familiar meaning of truck and barter, "the Exchange of one Commodity or Manufacture for another." This was its core. But circulating around it were other meanings, many of which have been lost or forgotten in the intervening centuries. Commerce referred to association with others, as in "the free and easy commerce of social life." Some of these associations were illicit ("the illegal commerce of the sexes"), others were exemplary (Jesus's "commerce with his disciples"). Commerce also referred to the exchange of thoughts and ideas, as in "a constant commerce of letters." Franklin invoked several senses of the word in 1753, when he offered, as postmaster, to use his franking privileges to facilitate the trade of ideas between two philosophically minded friends. "Let me be the Medium of your literary Commerce," he suggested. "It behooves us all to join Hands for the Honor" of "American Philosophy."
Commerce concerned the circulation of raw materials and finished goods, rough ideas and refined sentiments. It involved much more than simply buying and selling. (Or, perhaps better, commerce is much more complicated than we often allow.) Traders associate for exchange. They haggle and bargain, threaten and seduce. Sometimes they gain from their interactions; sometimes they go home empty-handed, or worse. All but the simplest exchanges involve credit and debt, hence uncertainty and risk. Even correspondence can be measured in these terms. Who has not begun a letter, as Franklin once did, with the confession that although "it is a long time since I have had the Pleasure of a Line from you ... I have not deserved it; for I am Debtor on Account of several of your Favors that remain unanswered"?
Commerce provided a model for cooperative social relations based on the power of needs and interests: humans join together because they are useful to each other. The theory of commercial society provided a vibrant alternative to accounts of cooperation based on moral virtue (we cooperate because we hold specific other-regarding beliefs and values) or mortal fear (we cooperate because we dread the coercive sanctions imposed by governments). During the eighteenth century theories of commercial society played an increasingly important role in public debates. Throughout the Atlantic world philosophers and politicians, playwrights and pamphleteers, pursued a number of questions with vigor and sophistication. Why do individuals engage in commerce? How are relationships of credit and debt sustained? Why should those engaged in trade, often separated by vast distances, trust each other? How strong are the bonds of cooperation forged by commerce? Does trade give rise to enduring or hazardous forms of conflict? These questions had moral and psychological, as well as political and economic, dimensions. As Franklin learned from Keith's false promises and Denham's generous support, trustworthiness resided in an individual's character as well as in the policies governing his or her actions. Tracing Franklin's contributions to the manifold debates concerning commercial society will provide important first clues to the nature and purpose of the politics of improvement.
Franklin's interest in trade and commerce dated to his youth. One of the books that captured his attention as a boy, for example, was Daniel Defoe 's An Essay upon Projects. Defoe proposed a number of measures for the "Improvement of Trade," from creating a network of local banks to publicly maintaining England's roads and highways. One of his projects concerned the fate of widows, who often fell into poverty when their husbands died. Why not make provision for this predictable event? A system of "friendly societies" would allow couples to make small regular contributions to a collective fund, against which widows could draw after their partners' deaths. Franklin thought highly of this idea and reprinted it in his tenth "Silence Dogood" essay. ("Silence" was the pseudonym Franklin chose for his contributions to James Franklin's The New-England Courant. Silence had a sharp wit and a satiric tongue as well as a "natural Inclination to observe and reprove the Faults of others." She was also a widow. Was her decision to call attention to Defoe 's proposal self-interested? Should it matter? What of the fact that, unknown to the Courant's readers, she was a he, and a sixteen-year-old boy at that? Determining the trustworthiness of an informant can be treacherous.)
Eighteenth-century reflections on trade and commerce do not look like the writings of contemporary economists. "Economy" was originally the art or science of managing a household; an "economist" was a person who practiced that art. Closely related was the use of the word economy to refer to thrift or the careful management of resources. It was not until 1767 that an English-language book appeared with the phrase "political economy" in its title; another forty years passed before writers referred to individuals concerned with managing the material resources of a nation as "economists." To be sure, systematic concern for national wealth predated these usages by at least two centuries. And many of the questions asked in the eighteenth century-Do gains in the wealth of one country augment or diminish the wealth of other countries? Is agricultural production or market exchange the key to growth and development? Do high wages make an economy grow or contract?-continue to be asked. But early investigations of economic phenomena were not conducted within a distinct intellectual or professional discipline. Adam Smith was undoubtedly the greatest political economist of the eighteenth century, but his arguments are spread across books with titles like The Theory of Moral Sentiments and Lectures on Jurisprudence as well as An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Economic thinking encompassed ideas and arguments that are now treated separately by economists, historians, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, political scientists, lawyers, and philosophers.
One set of questions that preoccupied early political economists was essentially moral and psychological. Improvement-constructing roads, building hospitals, funding "friendly societies"-was impossible without economic growth and development. As Poor Richard quipped, "Necessity has no Law; Why? Because 'tis not to be had without Money." Even the simplest of governmental tasks had a price tag. But what of the men and women who made growth possible? What did they think about work and labor? Inherited moral traditions held that the pursuit of wealth was morally suspect. Greed-an inordinate or excessive desire for gain-was a vice. It corrupted the soul and created social conflict. In medieval theology avarice was considered a deadly sin; its antonym was charity, the unselfish love of others. Could the pursuit of profit be morally rehabilitated? If so, could it also be made psychologically attractive? Everyday observation suggested that many workers preferred a little more leisure to a little extra income. Laborers often responded to increased wages by cutting back on the number of hours or days they worked. How might they be motivated to become more industrious? And finally, how would the spread of trade-an increase in the number and diversity of things bought and sold-affect social order? Would it provide new bases for cooperation? Or would the experience of economic competition lead to fragmentation and conflict? Indeed, what were the traits and habits, beliefs and practices, that enabled humans to cooperate?

Sebring 12 Hours
Sebring, H+6 : Team ORECA-Matmut with the leaders !
Nicolas Lapierre, Loïc Duval and Olivier Panis currently run in third place at the halfway point, not far from the leaders…
After a positive start, the Team ORECA-Matmut has continued on the right track. Loïc Duval and Olivier Panis, who took over for Nicolas Lapierre have not left the top five. Driving the No. 10 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, the trio has avoided the notorious Sebring traps, especially the traffic. The three men have been consistent and quick, taking advantage of on-track incidents to comfortably place themselves into the top three; even taking the lead for a brief period. At the halfway point, Team ORECA-Matmut is in third position.
Loïc Duval: "I had five or six horrible laps in traffic. The cars were side by side and it was really difficult to pass. Otherwise, the stint was OK. No other problems, although the track is really filthy. If you go off line to pass, the tyres get dirty and it takes time to clean them off. It's something that's not easy to manage. The safety car came at the wrong time for us: we absolutely had to get fuel and, by the reglement, we had to stop twice and rejoin at the end of the line. In terms of rhythm, we were in the same cadence as the No. 7 Peugeot, which is good. It's more difficult for us in traffic, but generally, we are in the game. I'm convinced that we can do well here!"
Olivier Panis: "My stint went very well. I found myself in a lot of traffic for my first time out, and you really had to fight hard to make your way. The second part of the stint started with a restart and the No. 8 Peugeot and No. 01 Honda behind me. We had a hard time getting the temperature into the tyres, so I didn't take any risks. It wouldn't be smart for me to resist and risk an incident. Afterwards, I was able to follow the Honda's rhythm. The pit windows and safety car periods haven't always worked in our favor, but we're still in the fight."
Race action. After qualifying in fifth place, Nicolas Lapierre stayed in the top five, behind the two factory Peugeot 908s and two factory Audi R15s. After the first pitstops, and two problems for the No. 1 Audi, the Team ORECA-Matmut car took over fourth position. As Loïc Duval took the wheel, the No. 10 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP was in third after a little more than two hours. Loïc would hold his position, even briefly running in second. He pushed to stay within reach of the lead No. 8 Peugeot 908 – within 40 seconds. At the end of the third and fourth hours, marked by several yellow flag periods, he handed the car over to Olivier Panis. Later, the safety car was dispatched in the middle of a scheduled pitstop forcing the team to pit twice (as the rules state). Olivier rejoined in fifth place but would reach the top three after 4h22 of racing, taking advantage of an incident between the two leading cars. The Team ORECA-Matmut even held the lead as the fifth hour passed: the team opted not to change tyres under yellow, unlike the Peugeot No. 8 and Honda No. 01 who would take the position away at the restart. Olivier followed the leaders before giving the commands back to Nicolas Lapierre, still in third.

AbstractPrinted integrated circuits (PIC) allow us to take advantage of substrates that otherwise could not be utilized in traditional fabrication techniques. This enables the production of circuits that are transparent, flexible, and conformal, opening a wide range of new applications for large area sensors, integrated/embedded electronics, medical diagnostics, and health monitoring. Leveraging our extensive experience carbon nanotube material process and printing technology, in this program, Agiltron and a research group from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) will fabricate low-cost, high-performance SWCNT circuits on plastic substrates. As compared to some other efforts to create transistors using SWCNT emphasizing nanometer scale devices that might compete with Si CMOS, this effort emphasizes technologies that will dramatically improve the state of the art in printed electronics. The main goal of Phase II is to fabricate PICs with high-frequency operation. These PIC's are based on TFTs constructed of s-SWCNT material for the n- and p-channels, m-SWCNT for the metallic contacts and interconnects, and polymeric gate dielectrics.

A man buys a parrot and brings him home. But the parrot starts insulting him and gets really nasty, so the man picks up the parrot and tosses him into the freezer to teach him a lesson. He hears the bird squawking for a few minutes, but all of a sudden the parrot is quiet. The man opens the freezer door, the parrot walks out, looks up at him and says, "I apologise for offending you, and I humbly ask your forgiveness."
The man says, "Well, thank you. I forgive you."
The parrot then says, "If you don't mind my asking, what did the chicken do?"
