S7: Metamaterials and Microwave Ceramics
The ability to develop artificially engineered dielectric materials has enabled a number of new phenomena attractive for communications, optics, and sensing. Among these are microwave dielectrics for RF/microwave applications, ferrites, tunable dielectrics, and a broad class of "Metamaterials" including artificially structured dielectrics, doubly negative materials (negative, negative, and negative refractive index), and artificial electromagnetics with unique character. Ceramic materials play unique roles in these systems, and are of particular interest for low loss properties and tunable behavior. This symposium is a forum for emerging electromagnetic phenomena, engineered materials design, structure-property relationships, and system performance in these highly engineered artificial electromagnetic structures.
Proposed Session Topics
- Metamaterials (visible to RF)
- Artificial electromagnetic structures (e.g. resonators, engineered substrates)
- Microwave dielectrics
- Magnetic ceramics including ferrites (high frequency applications; visible to RF)
- Tunable dielectrics
- Integration of materials for engineered electromagnetic systems
- Structure-property relations of engineered electromagnetic materials
Symposium Organizers
- Paul Clem, Sandia National Laboratories
- Amit Goyal, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Extinct Tree is Thriving
Isaiah 55:8
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."
According to the claims of evolutionists, the dawn redwood trees lived from the time of the dinosaurs until about two million years ago. Then they became extinct. At the very same time this was the official scientific teaching, Chinese rice farmers were planting the tree because it was a good indicator of fertile rice fields.
Evolutionary scientists caught up with the real world in 1944, when they acknowledged the tree's existence. In 1947, Chinese botanists sent dawn redwood seeds to Harvard University. Today, the dawn redwood is a popular landscape tree across America. This slender tree, with its gently drooping branches and bright green, feathery-looking needles, looks like a living Chinese painting. It grows up to four feet per year. Unlike most conifers, the dawn redwood drops its needles in the fall.
You might correctly ask, "Can't scientists be wrong sometimes?" Yes! Like the rest of us, scientists are only human. That's exactly the lesson. If scientists can be wrong about the present, they have no business telling us that the history recorded in the Bible cannot possibly be true. If a tree as important as the dawn redwood could escape their notice for so long, how can they tell us that life existed for millions of years before the first human beings?
Yes, scientists are human like the rest of us. That means that like the rest of us, their proper place is one of humility and thanksgiving before the Creator and Lord of the universe.

Just last Saturday I decided to put some of my bags that I have been designing on Etsy. I put up a Cross Body Purse that I made for myself and liked it so much that I felt it would do well on Etsy. This bag was my first sale! I had a lady I play ice hockey let me know she was very interested in a purse, and then just tonight I sold my first purse on Etsy! Click here for my etsy listing.
It was so exciting to see that someone in this world likes the same thing I like! I love this bag, it is light and hangs nicely so that it doesn't get in the way as you go about your day. It holds just enough to get around, but you can't fit the kitchen sink in it!
The first purse that I sold she requested a purple batik that I had in my stash, and it turned out very nice. I used the purple batik (name of the batik is grape juice) on the flap front and lining, and I used the grape juice as the lining of the purse. I quilted some feathers on the outside to give it some detail. I used purple thread so that the batik would show, but the quilting gives it some features also. The black and the purple work very well together.
The Cross Body purse I sold on Etsy was exactly as I listed it. She wanted the Contigo fabric in Blue, with the sugar skull on the front. I was soooo excited, I love this fabric, and I love carrying this little purse around. I have all the fabric cut and I will be assembling this purse and mailing it very soon!

Illinois Service Federal Savings and Loan has been providing service and integrity since 1934. Thirteen African-American men, and their many supporters, had a dream to establish a savings and loan association sensitive to the needs of Black residents of Chicago. The story began in the early 1930's when it was all but impossible for people of color to obtain mortgage loans. Visit www.isfbank.com for more information.
We talked with students of Washburne Culinary Insitute of the City Colleges of Chicago who prepared traditional Soul Food dishes using products of African American companies available at Jewel Osco stores. The dishes are offered throughout Black History Month at selected stores honoring the culinary contributions and traditions of African Americans through "A Taste of Black History." We also talked with the owners of those companies about their inspirations, passions and challenges of going into business and growing their companies so that others may be inspired by their success.

On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated attacks occurred on the United States by terrorists. A total of four commercial airliners were hijacked. Two of them flew into the World Trade Center in New York City, killing all on the plane. The twin towers, a US landmark rich in history, collapsed and several other buildings in the area were destroyed or sustained significant damage. Another hijacked plane was crashed into the Pentagon located in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed into a field after passengers and crew attempted to retake the plane. Everyone on each of the four planes were killed. There were deaths due to the other crashes as well totalling nearly 3,000 people, mostly civilians including nationals of over 70 different countries, affecting everyone around the world in this tragic attack, the worst ever on American homeland soil. There were 66 UK citizens who died during the attack. Let us take some time today to honour those affected by the 9/11 attack here, in the US and around the world by launching sky lanterns.
The United States suffered an incredible blow to their country on this day, nine years ago. Several people were killed, some immediately, some falling to their death from the towers. It was agonising to watch and the entire world was riveted as the destruction unfolded literally before our eyes. In the wake of such a tragedy, many heroes emerged. The authorities and fire fighters who worked tirelessly to assist the injured and rescue as many people as possible, the citizens and tourists who helped one another, the people from around the world who offered support in their time of need – many should be honoured today and sending up sky lanterns is the perfect way to do this.
Sky lanterns were traditionally used as a means of sending prayers to the heavens and for honouring people. Considering this is such an important day for one of our closest allies, sending up sky lanterns to honour all those involved is a great idea. Send sky lanterns in honour of the nearly 3,000 people who died during the 9/11 attacks including over 60 citizens of the UK. Send sky lanterns in honour of the people who assisted during this time of tragedy, including those from around the world who came to help with rescue efforts, clean up and rebuilding. If you know someone who was directly affected by this tragedy, write their name or their story on a sky lantern and then launch it.
Today is a rather sombre day in American history and although they are directly affected, countries from around the globe, including those of us in the UK were also affected. This is a great time to reflect on what happened and how we can prevent such attacks in the future here or abroad. But mostly, this is the day we should reflect on those who lost their lives in a tragic event and those heroes who tirelessly and selflessly worked during this tragedy in service to others.

Gas Nitriding of Titanium
This preliminary study examines the effect of the partial pressure of nitrogen on case characteristics when gas nitriding titanium in a vacuum furnace.
Interest in solution gas nitriding and diffusion of nitrogen into the surface of titanium alloys as a means to inhibit adhesive wear (galling) while replacing heavier steel machinery parts has been increasing in applications involving moving components. The use of vacuum furnaces with partial-pressure nitrogen atmospheres provides a practical and economical means for titanium nitride case hardening. The need to establish a consistent, quality process requires knowledge of the specific vacuum furnace used and the effect of partial-pressure nitrogen, temperature, and time. This current study looks at the effect of partial pressure on the case hardness, depth, and surface chemistry of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Note: This study is ongoing, and more complete conclusions are planned to be published following further work.
For all of the known benefits of using titanium alloys, including high strength-to-weight ratios and excellent corrosion resistance, titanium, unfortunately, is known to exhibit poor tribological properties. That is, it has a high coefficient of friction (COF) when in moving contact with many mating materials, resulting in poor sliding and adhesive wear resistance that leads to failure by galling. Owing to this, metal-to-metal applications encountering friction and wear considerations require a surface treatment for adequate serviceability. This is increasingly a topic of investigation as various segments of industry are searching to reduce moving mass in machinery components [1, 2].
One treatment for enhancing the tribological properties of titanium that has been researched for years is nitriding, which is performed by plasma or gas processes [3]. Nitrogen has great affinity and solid solubility in alpha titanium, which greatly increases hardness and strength [1, 3]. Gas nitriding, the topic of this study, is classified as a diffusion process whereby nitrogen gas dissociates and nascent nitrogen is adsorbed and diffused into the titanium matrix. This nitriding process is not a "coating"; it is a thermochemical heat treatment where nitrogen becomes an integral part of the titanium matrix. So unlike a coating, it does not have to initially bond well to function well; the case will not peel or flake away from the base metal.
The titanium/nitrogen phase diagram in Reference [3] shows that higher levels of nitrogen will form compounds of titanium and nitrogen that can be thought of as a hard ceramic. Provided the compound layer is not too thick and depending on its chemical makeup and service application, it can provide greatly enhanced wear performance. Below the surface compound layer is a diffusion zone that is solid solution strengthened by nitrogen. This adds support to the surface for sustaining higher application loads, and like other diffusion processes, the depth of the diffusion zone is dependent on the time and pressure of the treatment.
Titanium has an even stronger affinity for oxygen than nitrogen, making the purity of the nitriding atmosphere highly influential to the end results [1, 3]. Investigation into the formation of oxygen-enriched surfaces (at high levels forming alpha case) in vacuum heat treating titanium using a graphite-insulated vacuum furnace revealed that even at good commercial vacuum levels of 5 x 10-4 Torr, titanium became surface enriched with oxygen during heating to 1,450°F [4]. The study of the "gettering effect" of titanium indicates that oxygen may be a constituent of the case structure when gas nitriding titanium in commercial vacuum furnaces. Depending on the amount present, oxygen in the nitride case is not necessarily a detriment. Oxygen interstitially strengthens titanium like nitrogen, and at a certain level, may contribute to enhanced wear performance in a given application. Ti-6Al-4V has been purposely thermally oxidized to increase wear properties and reportedly performed comparatively well in a wear test study involving numerous surface engineering treatments [2].
Solar Atmospheres is developing processes for gas nitriding titanium in a vacuum furnace using partial-pressure nitrogen gas at elevated temperatures. Of interest are the effects of partial pressure on the case hardness, case depth, and the surface chemistry/crystalline phases of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V.
Experimental Details
Ti-6Al-4V sheet was cut into approximately 1.5-inch squares. The surface of the coupons was used as-received following a rigorous alcohol wipe; no surface blasting or polishing was performed prior to processing.
An all-metal (molybdenum) vacuum furnace with a cylindrical, vertical hot zone, 10" diameter x 18" high, was used for this study. Three titanium coupons used for each run were hung on separate molybdenum wires attached to the lid of the furnace. All cycles began after an initial pump down to 2 x 10-5 Torr to assure vacuum integrity. The parts were heated in a vacuum to 854°C (1,570°F), and partial-pressure nitrogen was introduced at 70 microns, 1 Torr (1,000 microns), and 630 Torr. Nitriding time was 10 hours for each pressure.
Hardness profiles for each run were measured using a Struers DuraScan and 25-gram load. Specimens were etched using 2-percent HF for metallographic analysis and total optical case depth measurement. The RJ Lee Group in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, performed surface analyses using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The intent of this study was to determine the influence of pressure selection as a means to control the formation of TiN, Ti2N, and Ti oxide.
Results and Discussion
The hardness profiles for the three pressures evaluated are presented in Figure 1. This shows that the hardness of the diffusion zone drops off sharply for the 630 Torr (A) and 1 Torr (B) nitrided specimens. The 70-micron (C) results are comparable to the near surface hardness (0.0005 inches or 12.7 µm) of the 630 Torr (A) results, but show a deeper, more gently sloping diffusion zone hardness. Note that the diamond indenter of the DuraScan is too large for the thin compound layers (10 µm range) to be accurately measured. (A nano-indenter hardness tester is needed and will be used in further study along with scratch hardness testing.)
After etching to reveal the microstructure, optical measurements were performed for each pressure, and the results are presented in Table 1. Tests A and B have comparable case depths, while Test C has a case depth about 60 percent deeper. The photomicrographs revealing the total case depths are shown in Figure 2a, Figure 2b, and Figure 2c. Higher magnification micrographs of Figure 3a, Figure 3b, and Figure 3c show the thickness of the compound layer. The compound layer was comparable for all three pressures, yet the total case depth was deepest for the lowest pressure, corroborating the microhardness profile results.
Based on prior investigations of the heat treatment of titanium alloys [4], it was surmised that the deeper case at the lowest pressure may be attributable to a higher presence of residual water vapor in the hot zone, owing to a "stale atmosphere" (relatively poor quality vacuum). This would result in oxygen enrichment within the case when water vapor adsorbs and dissociates on the titanium surfaces. To confirm this hypothesis, surface analyses using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed [5]. The main crystalline phases detected with the XRD scans at each pressure are listed in Table 2. Oxygen is present on the surface as the titanium suboxide, Ti2O.
Normalized X-ray counts, see Table 3, can be used to determine the relative ratios of the compounds TiN, Ti2N, and Ti2O. This reveals that the compound layer of sample C, processed at the lowest pressure, has the highest oxide concentration, 33 percent, of the three samples. The oxide concentration of sample A is 14 percent and 11 percent for sample B.
When processing at a low pressure of 70 microns, very little nitrogen flow is pumped through the furnace. Water vapor is inherently adsorbed in the hot-zone insulation and thus the low nitrogen flow becomes concentrated with water vapor upon heating. Further, 70-micron flow results in low furnace volume turnover. This ultimately results in higher levels of oxygen in the case. This result supports the hypothesis.
Sample A (14 percent) and Sample B (11 percent) oxygen concentrations are comparable, owing to increased nitrogen pressures and gas flow rates resulting in greater dilution of water vapor by nitrogen. In order to maintain a pressure of 630 Torr (A), however, an almost completely closed vacuum at times leads to a decrease in the volume turnover at the highest pressure. This results in somewhat higher oxygen concentration at 630 Torr compared to 1.
This preliminary study revealed that the partial pressure of nitrogen when gas nitriding Ti-6Al-4V in a vacuum furnace can have a significant effect on the nitrided case characteristics. Processing with low partial pressure of 70 microns resulted in a considerably higher amount of surface oxides being present in the compound layer compared to processing at higher pressures of 1 Torr and 630 Torr. The pressure and gas flow/turnover rate of nitrogen influences the "gettering ability" of titanium for oxygen during the nitriding process. The lowest pressure process resulted in a higher hardness profile and total case depth. This is considered attributable to oxygen being an interstitial strengthening element in titanium — just as it is nitrogen's purpose in diffusion zone strengthening of the case.
At this point in the investigation, it is unknown to what extent oxygen may enhance or detract from the wear performance of the nitrided case. Wear requirements for a product tend to be application-specific, but some standardized wear tests are planned for further study of vacuum nitrided Ti-6Al-4V. Reference [3] mentions nitriding of race car steering racks (rack and pinion gearing) as well as engine valves and spring retainers. Solar Atmospheres has nitrided titanium alloy engine valves and spring retainers, in addition to gears designed for the next Mars expedition land rover. This latter application is germane to the gear industry, and the hope is that there is an increasing focus on reducing moving mass in machinery components, including gears Torr.

Here's a very crazy chord game that kids love, and reinforces their knowledge of the six basic chords.
First you have to teach the kids the C F G and D E A chords. For younger kids, C F and G will do.
I should point out that I allow the kids to use two note chords (the bottom two notes of the three note chord) with their strongest fingers, the 2nd (index) and third (middle.)
I adopt the manner of a pompous, stentorian orator who appears and challenges them to a race.
I call myself Gortok or Chordomatic (make up some space name that sounds funny) and boastingly declare that I am unbeatable in my ability to find chords quickly. I laugh and beat my chest with pride at my inevitable victory. Poor child, up against an unbeatable machine.
Eventually, The Chord Machine Always Loses
Gortok wins the first round and deeply gloats in his victory.
But suddenly, in the second round, Gortok loses and is greatly disturbed by his loss (yes, I let the kid win.) But the child is delighted to win and wants more. So choose another chord.
Variations are when Gortok gives the kid a head start by starting further away, across the room. You have no idea how happy it makes kids to see Gortok lose in his mock gloom.
I don't restrict the fingering, or whether it is a two or three note chord. All that matters is speed, and that the child wins.
As a footnote, I usually have kids finger three note chords with their first three fingers, rather than the standard 1-3-5, because 1-2-3 are their strongest fingers.
But the vast majority of kids are only comfortable with two notes.
More Variations
I generally make a dive-bombing sound, which the kids love, but it always must be followed by Gortok's complete surprise and disappointment in losing.
The child will have no problem with C F and G chords, but as soon as you introduce D E and A you have black notes, and kids are much less secure with these. So Gortok may have to give a little hint or advice until the child gains facility with chords that include a black note.
Once you have played this a while, try making the chords into pairs, and race them with that.
I play C G C, and then demand they do the same.
Then C F C, and finally F G F.
Show fast you can do it, and challenge them to do the same.
Don't forget that chords are the basis of all musical construction, and that a command of chords will give a child command of the piano.

By: Lantana Grace Church | July 03, 2015
Is it contradictory to tell someone to come and drink from the River of Life freely, but then tell them they are unable? Should we just tell men to come to Christ and leave out the part about God's sovereign election and man's total inability? Many would say we are just confusing the message and restricting the free offer of salvation by telling men they can't come unless the Father makes them willing by His irresistible grace which is according to His will and good pleasure. Why is it necessary when commanding men to come to Christ to tell them they can't? Why are total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, and irresistible grace essential elements of the gospel? One simple reason. Without these truths, men will make a work...

|March 2014
Sales, special events, and more from the people who make Biscayne Times possible
"Beware the Ides of March." That line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar refers to the date on which the emperor was assassinated, an event that marked the transition from booming Roman Republic to Roman Empire -- and that empire's slow decline and fall. Superstition surrounding the date we know today as March 15 has endured, literally, for ages.
Before that, though, the Ides symbolized positive transition, March being the month of seasonal change from winter to spring's rebirth. In the oldest Roman calendar, actually -- prior to the Julian calendar we still use today -- March was the first month of the year, and full of celebrations for spring and the new year involving food, drink, music, revelry, fertility rites, and general optimism.
This month, BT advertisers can help you transition from wary to positive, even down to an upgrade of the way Americans celebrate mid-March's most infamous holiday, St. Paddy's Day. No more lousy green-dyed beer! Read on.
One of the biggest transitions in anyone's life (big decisions, big money involved) is buying a new house. Another is landing a new job -- in real estate, for instance. Returning advertiser Best Beach Real Estate (3033 Biscayne Blvd., 855-308-7887), in association with Best Real Estate School of Florida's Midtown campus, can help you do both. Their last four-week, pre-license sales associate course in January/February was so successful they've added four more courses. Start dates are March 31, May 5, June 2, and July 7. Check out this issue's ad for details. Naturally, Best Beach can find you a swell house, too.
Those relocating to a neighborhood they don't know well are in special need of a Realtor who can tell them about everything going on there -- like EWM's Robbie Bell (305-528-8557, gotorobbiebell.info), a total urban lifestyle specialist with her finger on the pulse of Edgewater, Wynwood, the Design District, Buena Vista, the Upper Eastside, El Portal, and Miami Shores. She makes it her business to know not just where the hip homes are, but where to find neighborhoods' best bets, including food. In fact, she'll be hosting a party at N'Namedi Contemporary Gallery on April 10, at 6:30 p.m. to celebrate the release of her newest "Scrumpterou Report," a guide to her personal favorite restaurants. We'll remind you again in April's "BizBuzz."
Exciting news from Opulence International Realty (2060 N. Bayshore Dr., www.OpulenceInternationalRealty.com), South Florida's newest brokerage firm: Power luxury real estate agent Tomi Rose has just joined the team as senior vice president of the Sports and Entertainment division. With a résumé including more than 200 celebrities (the late Michael Jackson, basketball player Shaquille O'Neil, actress Vivica Fox, many more), there's no doubt she understands what it takes to give top-notch service to busy movers and shakers.
While some real estate agents narrow-focus on a certain geographical area, a certain price level, or a certain type of property, new advertiser (but real estate veteran) Jack Coden wants buyers to know he's just the opposite. "I want to be the Realtor for every man," he says. "I sell every product -- houses, condos, businesses, raw land -- in every neighborhood all over Miami, at every price point."
Another Realtor and new advertiser who casts a wide net geographically: Antonio Baldo (office: 305-674-4000, ext. 4179; cell: 305-321-5415), an EWM associate who works from the company's Miami Beach office but has both sale and rental listings extending north from the Beach to Bal Harbour and even up to Hollywood in Broward County. His language fluency is broad, too: English, Spanish, and Italian.
Attention, luxury condo-seekers: Sales have begun at 151 at Biscayne (14951 Royal Oaks Ln.), a two-tower ocean-view project just off Biscayne Boulevard. Amenities in the 160 spacious two- and three-bedroom residences include kitchens with granite counters and Italian cabinetry, bathrooms with whirlpool tub and separate shower, eight-foot-deep balconies, and so much more. You really have to see it to believe it. Call 866-692-9777 to schedule a visit.
In your new home, you'll crave new furniture -- and actually, thoroughly spring-cleaning your current home to look practically new brings on the same desire. Well, the motto of Antonini Modern Living (3201 N. Miami Ave., 786-422-8800) is: "Out with the old, in with the new," and they've got a floor-sample sale this month designed to do just that. From March 21-24, Antonini will also be participating in the Miami Home Design and Remodeling Show at Miami Beach Convention Center.
You'll also want to check out Best Furniture Buy, a new advertiser that has just opened a new location in BT territory (8108 Biscayne Blvd., 305-751-7152), as well as a new store west of the Biscayne Corridor in Miami Gardens. Best's specialty is affordable modern Italian furniture that looks, and feels, much more expensive than it is.
For high-end German-engineered custom kitchen furniture, check out the gorgeous luxe offerings at new advertiser Alno USA Kitchen Showroom (3650 N. Miami Ave., 305-576-2566). And developers: This Southeast U.S. flagship store, which opened just last summer, outfits entire new condo projects (its most recent deal closed is a 240-unit Miami Beach development), as well as single homes.
With four medical and dental offices already in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, Leung Healthcare probably isn't in need of any more new physical homes, we'd guess. But the practice is indeed growing, with the recent addition of two new employees to the medical staff: Nadine Cantave, a nurse practitioner; and Jean Philippe Charles, a certified physician assistant. Both have special interests in primary as well as urgent care, and can understand your concerns in many languages; they're fluent in Creole, Spanish, and English.
Speaking of being multilingual: Learning really does come easier when one starts young, so Ines Lozano, the quadrilingual principal of Metropolitan International School of Miami (3465 NW 2nd Ave., 305-439-7191) wants parents to know that in addition to MIS's Spanish and Mandarin Chinese language programs, the ambitious new private school is one of only two schools in the nation that offer an Italian AP course at the middle-school level.
Education needn't be just for the young. If you're an otherwise sane adult whose dream is to become a professional writer (or you're already a pro writer who wants to learn better skills), save these dates: May 7-10. That's when Miami-Dade College's Center for Literature and Theatre (401 NE 2nd Ave., 305-237-3940) will be presenting its next Writers Institute -- four days of workshops on fiction, nonfiction, poetry, publishing, and more, taught by respected authors and agents. Consult this issue's ad for details, and register early for whatever interests you (space is limited).
To teach old dogs new tricks, literally rather than figuratively, the Shops at Midtown Miami (3401 N. Miami Ave., 305-573-3371) invites you to celebrate St. Patrick's Day at the Miami Lighthouse Dog Walk, March 16 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. To win prizes for their owners, dogs compete in such games as the Cake Walk (canine musical chairs, with cake the prize) and Hot Dunkin' Dogs (dogs are challenged to stick their heads into water buckets to retrieve a hot dog; winners get $20 Target gift cards. Note: St. Patrick's Day is actually March 17. But March 16 is also national "Everything You Do Is Right Day," so celebrating a day early is fine.
At Laurenzo's Italian Market (16445 W. Dixie Hwy., 305-944-5052), David Laurenzo is celebrating St. Paddy's on both the 16th and the 17th with "our awesome corned beef and cabbage, available in our caffe." And on St. Joseph's Day, March 19 (when Italians feast on traditional dishes honoring Christ's father), the caffe will offer scrumptious Sicilian pasta con sarde, pasta in an exotic tomato/raisin/fennel/sardine/pignolia sauce, covered with breadcrumbs symbolizing the sawdust in a carpenter's workshop. Zeppole and sfinge (cream puffs), symbolizing nothing in particular, but also traditional St. J's Day foods, will be available the week before and after the feast.
Whole Foods Market (12150 Biscayne Blvd., 305-892-5505, and 21105 Biscayne Blvd., 305-682-4400) is also thinking Italian this month, with its sixth annual "Crack Heard 'Round the World" event, celebrated at all Whole Foods stores planet-wide on March 8, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. We know what you're thinking, but this is a spectacular traditional method used to break open 85-pound wheels of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. To the demo/sampling, the North Miami store has added an old-fashioned carnival with live entertainers, carny foods, and games of chance benefiting Whole Planet Foundation.
How 'bout some bread with that cheese? Baker/owner Claude Juneau's Harvest Bread Company franchise (1817 NE 123rd St., 954-263-9532), a new advertiser, is practically right around the corner, "making the neighborhood better one loaf at a time." Exactly which loaves (cheddar garlic, cinnamon chip, about 15 more per month) are available each day varies, but all are tasty, nutritious, and fresh-baked daily. Check out homemade sweets, sandwiches, and other miscellaneous goodies, too. Present this issue's ad for a free loaf of honey whole-wheat bread with the purchase of any other loaf.
In all of our previous write-ups of indoor/outdoor Italian seafood hangout Big Fish (620 NE 78th St., 305-373-1770), on the Upper Eastside's Little River, we've raved about how enjoyable it is to eat on the expansive new waterfront deck. Well, owner Danilo Cacace wants readers to know something we didn't: Eating isn't the only thing diners can do on the dock. They can also arrive by boat and actually dock there. Evidently, that's the main function of docks. Who knew?
Perhaps the most exciting way to upgrade your food/drink celebrations this month comes courtesy of the Miami International Film Festival, March 7-16. It's Lee Schrager's "Culinary Cinema" program, which pairs his favorite food films with three-course meals from terrific area restaurants that match perfectly. As you'll notice when you go to MIFF's website (www.miamifilmfestival.com) for tickets/info, more than 100 films are scheduled for screening, so there are plenty of tasty temptations, figuratively speaking, for non-foodies, too.
This March, musical revelry needn't be limited to endless drunken choruses of "Who Put the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder?" Florida Grand Opera's season is far from over, with performances continuing through May. Further, the remaining two operas, Tosca and Thais, are packed with far more passion, promiscuity, and general fertility-rite-related stuff than ancient Romans could have managed at their wildest toga parties. Go to www.fgo.org for tix and detailed plot descriptions of all the scandalous goings-on onstage.
The St. Martha-Yamaha Concert Series (9301 Biscayne Blvd., 305-458-0111) March performances feature seasonally appropriate music, too, though of a soaringly inspirational sort: a commissioned musical meditation on the Martha and Mary story, on March 29 and March 30. The star is flutist/composer Nestor Torres in an ensemble performance with pianists Paul Posnak and Miguel del Aguila, plus conductor Tania Leon. Tix only $10 general admission and include a festive post-concert light bites/wine reception: saintmartha.tix.com.
Not smiling yet? If not, it couldn't be because there isn't a lot to smile about this month. So could it be because you're self-conscious about your smile? Biscayne Dental Center (14771 Biscayne Blvd., 305-945-7745) can help fix that. At this multi-specialty oral health and cosmetic dentistry practice, it's Invisalign Month. Throughout March, the center is offering free consultations about these clear, virtually invisible braces and also giving a whopping $500 discount off treatment.
Finally, at fairly new but already award-winning Bike Nerds (9538 NE 2nd Ave., 786-332-3463), proprietors Thomas Korray and Diego Pinzon say ultra-cool skateboards will soon be supplementing their top-quality bikes. No firm arrival dates yet, as the guys are still selecting vendors, but give the place a call for updates. The nerds love talking to BT readers.

"Most participants don't like taking part in research."
That is one of the conclusions of the recent GRIT CPR (Consumer Participation in Research) study which revealed that only a quarter of all respondents globally are satisfied with their experience participating in research.
Other main findings were:
• Over half of all respondents admitted that the design of a survey impacts their willingness to complete it.
• Over 50% of respondents said surveys should be less than 10 minutes in length.
• 1/3 of all respondents cite a desire to earn rewards or prizes as their primary reason for participating.
• Cash may be King, but Virtual Cards are Queen
5 things that all researchers should do when designing an engaging participant experience.
As a result of their findings, the GRIT team recommend the following 5 things when designing research studies:
1.) Go "mobile first" in designing studies.
2.) Stay under 10 minutes.
3.) Think like game designers, marketers, or UI experts when designing research.
4.) Respondents want a fair value exchange: reward them the way they want to be rewarded and give them choices.
5.) Use research as a brand engagement and relationship building opportunity.

A staff development series that is both a companion to The Eddie Files, and a unique visual library of compelling hands-on lessons showing teachers step-by-step how to deliver lessons on elementary mathematics topics which excite student interest, engage their problem-solving and communication skills and develop computational and reasoning skills.
Watch a clip of The Kay Toliver Files
The Kay Toliver Files File Box 4 Episodes:
Ratios - Ms. Toliver starts this lesson off by showing students that the math concept "ratio" is especially important whenever a small shape must look exactly like a larger one. Then, with modeling clay, a ruler and maps, teams of students create surprisingly accurate representations of several U.S. states.
Variables - Starting with a discussion of the characteristics that change as a plant grows, Ms. Toliver introduces the concept of "variable" and its definition. Soon students are enthusiastically planting their own seeds, and over several days the class watches their plants grow and measure the effects of varying conditions.
Charts and Graphs - For a really hard problem, like deciding which color of candy is most likely to be drawn from a big glass jar, Ms. Toliver's students have learned one of the best problem-solving strategies is "organize your data". Thus it is that making graphs and charts becomes the central activity of this problem-based lesson.
Percents - Ms. Toliver takes the class on a search for the perfect color in the opening of this lesson. Following a review of percents, students don their own smocks and create a beautiful spectrum of color, based on calculated percents of red, blue, and yellow food coloring.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 123038
gtk2-devel depends on XFree86-devel, not xorg-x11-devel
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:42 EST
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312
Description of problem:
I am using Fedora Core 2 Test 3 CDs. I attempted to install
gtk2-devel and it demands XFree86-devel. I could not find this
package in the CDs, so I tried installing xorg-x11-devel. gtk2-devel
stopped demanding XFree86-devel after installing xorg-x11-devel.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start with Fedora 2 Test 3 without gtk2-devel or xorg-x11-devel (or
XFree86-devel) installed
2. try to install gtk2-devel - notice it demands XFree86-devel
3. install xorg-x11-devel
4. try to install gtk2-devel - notice it doesn't demand XFree86-devel
any more
Actual Results: The demand for XFree86-devel is confusing.
Expected Results: Gtk2-devel should demand xorg-x11-devel instead.
Additional info:
Depending on XFree86-devel is currently the recommended approach to
this problem (according to Mike Harris, who maintains the X packages)

March is a wonderful month. It's the time of year when we transition from the cold winter months to warmer days and longer nights. It is also when college basketball comes alive with March Madness! March is also the month when the acclaimed, Big Apple Dental Meeting takes place.
On March 20th, we welcomed in the season of Spring. This time of year represents the beginning of a renewal that takes place in nature. The animals end their hibernation, the plants start to bloom and many of us begin our laborious spring cleaning. This is also the time when businesses take note of their trajectory and evaluate their performance. Most businesses measure their data from the first quarter and make adjustments that will lead to a successful year.
In an effort to address one of dentistry's greatest challenges (Overhead Management), I have asked Kerry Straine, CEO and President of Straine Consulting to share his thoughts about overhead management.
Overhead Management
Cast An Accurate Financial Vision
From Today Until Your Retirement
Kerry K Straine, CEO & President, Straine Consulting
Face it, owning a dental practice today is challenging. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. In this economy, more than ever, business owners are faced with the important task of understanding their business comprehensively. Unlike the thirty years prior to 2008, we could comfortably predict return on investments at minimum rates of return, in the 5% plus range. Now economists say we are facing an economic future where rates of returns on investments will remain low, and in time, expenses we incur on a daily basis will rise significantly. What does that mean, the key to living the life you desire rests in the planning you do today.
Planning that will cause you to define your goals, develop strategies to achieve them, execute your plan, monitor your results, and stay committed, even when the winds of change and choices appear to be more expedient that the plan you are on, don't waiver, stay committed.
As we begin to look into the concept of financial budgeting and overhead management, let's begin by reviewing the first three habits that Stephen Covey wrote about in his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The first three habits surround moving from dependence to independence (i.e., self-mastery):
Habit 1: Be Proactive
• Synopsis: Take initiative in life by realizing that your decisions (and how they align with life's principles) are the primary determining factor for effectiveness in your life. Take responsibility for your choices and the subsequent consequences that follow.
• Kerry's Strategy: Develop an extended leadership team of subject matter experts to help you develop the right decisions for your life.
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
• Synopsis: Self-discover and clarify your deeply important character values and life goals. Envision the ideal characteristics for each of your various roles and relationships in life.
• Kerry's Strategy: Plan for a balanced life that includes time for yourself, family, friends, travel, health, education, spiritual pursuits, and financial wealth.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
• Synopsis: Plan, prioritize, and execute your week's tasks based on importance rather than urgency. Evaluate whether your efforts exemplify your desired character values, propel you toward goals, and enrich the roles and relationships that were elaborated in Habit 2.
• Kerry's Strategy: schedule time to plan, do, and review every part of the journey in your life that supports your values and goals. At Straine Consulting, our job is to help our clients reach their potential in their practice, based on their values, in support of their life dreams. Remember, you can't borrow someone else's dreams, therefore, you must invest in this area of your life, working with subject matter experts, insuring that you give and get the most out of every minute of your day. You deserve the best!
As we look into financial budgeting, let's begin with the area that is the least variable in your budget, your expenses. Most people think they can "cut expenses" significantly, but having prepared over 5,000 sets of financial statements, and having reviewed over 20,000 sets of financial statements in my 34 year career in public accounting and dental practice management consulting, at best, you'll be able to shave off a few percentage points in your expenses, they are far more fixed than you could ever imagine.
Overhead: These expenses are either fixed or variable, and should be compared to your production, not collections:
• Fixed expenses. No matter what your dental production is, fixed costs must be met every month. Fixed expenses include rent, depreciation on fixed assets (such as cars and dental equipment equipment), wages and associated payroll costs, malpractice and other insurance, utilities, membership dues and subscriptions, telephone, advertising, postage, consulting, and legal and accounting costs. These expenses don't change, regardless of whether a practice's revenue goes up or down.
• Variable expenses. Most so-called variable expenses fluctuate from month to month in relation to production. Fitting into this category are expenses for dental supplies, lab, office supplies, and merchant fees.
Revenue: Revenue refers to the fees you have performed that expect to be paid for by your patients. In a typical general practice, the revenue is earned from the services performed by dentists and hygienists. The question is, how do you set reasonable production goals? We base the hygiene department revenue goals on the total number of patients you will have in continuing care and the percentage of them you anticipate in your perio program. For planning purposes, your percentage of patients in perio should be consistent with the surveys performed by the ADA. For the doctor's production goal, it should be at least $3,000 per 8 hour day. In a majority of the practice's we work with the daily production goals of the dentists range from $4,000 to $6,000 per day, and in some cases the average daily goal of the dentist exceeds $8,000 per day plus. The key to increasing the dentist's production lies within the knowledge of the dentist, their communication effectiveness, and the demographic profile for the community they serve. The fact is, the more revenue you generate, the lower your expenses.
Collections: Collections must be budgeted too. Ideally, the amount of production that is collected is 98% – 100% of production. In many cases, due to the participation with lower paying insurance plans, practices are committing to services for which they agree to receive less than if they were paid at their normal fee schedule. Participating in lower fee plans is a great way to increase your patient base, growing to the volume of patients you need in your practice to work at full potential. Once you have achieved your patient base ceiling, you have the option to work on strategies to increase your rate of reimbursement from your patients, with reduced risk to your financial plan.
The budgeting question you must answer is, does the revenue generated, result in a sufficient amount of collections, to fund the expenses of the practice, and leave enough money to fund your life goals?
The life goals expenditure list includes: monthly lifestyle budget, debt repayment, retirement planning, insurance expenses for life, disability, and long-term care, cash reserves, and taxes, at the very least! So, begin with the end in mind concept first, know what you want and work backwards in your budget.
Everyone has a choice. Working in your practice must represent the highest and best use of your time and money or it will never be perceived as the best use of time and money for you.

Sample letter to police against wife after a fight, quarrel between husband and wife because of any dispute.
Complaint Letter to Police Station against Wife
Respected DSP Sir Abdul Haq,
I'm writing this letter so that I can complain about my wife's attitude towards my kids that she's planning to kill them, as she is doing unusual acts in home. And I'm afraid of her behavior so please give me and my kid's security or arrest her on behalf of my complaint.
Please do it as soon as possible.
Muhammad Ismail
Complaint Letter to Police against Wife
The Police Commissioner,
XYZ Police Department.
It is stated that my wife and I have been having problems since the start of our marriage two years ago. We thought that having children might change things between us but alas it was of no use now. I have two beautiful daughters now who are afraid of their very own mother.
Last week when I was on a work vacation, I had to leave my daughters alone with their mother however when I came back I found bruise marks all over my elder daughters body and upon inspecting she told me that her mother had beat her with an anonymous object she can't remember what.
When I talked to my wife about this she clearly refused and said that she had no business with my daughters and she had not done it. I trust my daughter as she has no reason to lie to me thus I would request you to kindly take strict actions against my wife. I have already filed a divorce and have court hearing soon, but until then I would request you to kindly charge her with "Child Abuse" and punish her according to the law.
Thanking you,

CU Real Estate Students win Prestigious NAIOP Rocky Mountain Challenge!
The Rise is Real, from the gridiron to cast iron, as CU's graduate real estate team wins the prestigious NAIOP Rocky Mountain Challenge real estate case competition, held in Denver last evening. CU's winning team of four master of science in real estate (MSRE) students, two MBA real estate students and one master of urban and regional planning (MURP) student took top honors, recapturing the Rocky Mountain Challenge trophy from the University of Denver.

The Challenge, in its 15th year, pits the state's top business schools in a semester-long real-world real estate development competition. CU's team was instructed by Kim Koehn, a principal of K2 Ventures, with assistance from an extraordinary host of real estate developers, architects, environmental specialists, and financiers, all of whom volunteered their time to teach.
Each university fields three teams of graduate students and then selects its top team at the end of the semester to compete in front of nearly 800 real estate leaders at NAIOP's gala event. This year's case involved developing a full-scope vision and plan for the redevelopment of a major parcel in Denver's historic Globeville neighborhood. Check out the site, Terminal at 51st, here.
With many thanks to our friends and supporters, congratulations to the winning CU Buff's Graduate Real Estate team!

CU Real Estate Center
Real Estate Students Compete in Exclusive International Case Competition
Students from Leeds took part in an invitation—only real estate competition hosted by the University of Southern California. The International competition featured only nine schools with the best real estate programs in the country competing for the top spot.
This year's team included four seniors and two juniors:
Leeds has competed in every year of the competition since 2005 and won the championship in 2013. The other schools that received invitations this year were the National University of Singapore, University of Auckland, University of Wisconsin, University of Texas, Villanova University, Ohio State University, Southern Methodist University and the University of Southern California. This year's winner was the University of Southern California.
"I am very impressed with the outstanding job our students did both in the months leading up; preparing for this competition as well as their abilities at the event," said Curtis Sears, a senior instructor and case competition coach. "We love the kinds of learning opportunities that these case competitions provide. We know that competitive experiences help produce exceptional professionals and we're happy to see the effort that they put into this competition."
The Leeds team even had to compete for their positions on the team. Interested students were invited to present to Curtis Sears and Real Estate Center Director, Mike Kercheval. The candidates selected by Curtis and Mike were the ones with the best mix of soft and hard skills in presentations, analytics, critical thinking, material preparation. Most importantly, the students demonstrated having complementary talents across the six-person team. For the past several months, this team met with their advisor every week for three hours to go over other case competitions examples to prepare them for this year's event.
"These case competitions are critical to giving our students experiential opportunities to solve real-world problems. We know how valuable practical experience can be for students to hone their skills and gain the knowledge necessary to be prepared professionals after graduation," added Mike Kercheval, Director of the Real Estate Center at the Leeds.
A subset of this case competition group is expected to start preparing for the Cornell International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Real Estate Case Competition in May, held at ICSC's massive real estate convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.

USC Undergraduate Case Competition - Team Selected!
A team of undergraduate students has been selected to represent CU Boulder, the Leeds School of Business and the CU Real Estate Center at this spring's USC International Real Estate Case Competition. The team includes seniors Nick Pepper, Breanna Williams, Diego Cantu, Dustin Braham, Garrett Russell, and Toby Kropp. All are participants in the Leeds real estate program and candidates for the Real Estate Certificate. The team was selected by audition.
Over the semester, the team will work with Leeds real estate faculty, staff, industry professionals and a speech and communications coach to learn how to effectively analyze, organize and present its findings and recommendations concerning a complex commercial real estate development case. They will travel to Los Angeles and USC in April to compete against a number of the top undergraduate real estate programs from around the world including USC, Wisconsin, Texas, NYU, Villanova, Ohio State, the University of Auckland and the National University of Singapore.
Teams from CU Boulder have achieved notable success in this competition over the years having placed highly more consistently than any other school. This year's team will work to continue that tradition of success and once again elevate the reputation of the real estate program here at Leeds and CU Boulder.
Congratulations to the team and GO BUFFS!

Hi Dolls! I hope everyone enjoyed the gorgeous weather this weekend. I went into Little Italy last night for the Feast of San Gennaro and had a fabulous time! I love Manhattan in the fall!
So, we're rounding it all out soon! Here are my thoughts on episode 16:
I would first like to congratulate my girlfriend Teresa on her new line of Skinny Italian products. I continue to be amazed by her, and I know she will continue to have nothing but success with all of her quickly growing brands!
It was very refreshing to see the Giudices and Gorgas have a nice family dinner at Rare. As an aside, if anyone is looking for a new steakhouse in our area of Jersey, Rare is fabulous! The seafood tower they were eating is to die for! Anyway, I was very happy they were all relaxing and getting along. I love Antonia! She is such a wise woman and I have the utmost respect for her. She stole the entire scene! And didn't Teresa look fab in her black and blue striped peplum top? It's one of our faves, Torn by Ronny Kobo from Posche!
Juicy Joe clearly makes a juicy steak! My mouth was watering just looking at it! And loved the lesson on Fertility: 101 by Joe and Rosie! They had me cracking up. I thought Teresa did a very good job coaching Jacqueline with her speech, despite Chris laughing about it in the interview! It was all in good fun, and I thought his reaction was very cute!
Quick thought: I completely agreed when Joe Gorga told Johnny the music manager that "love is everything", not sex. And Melissa is also wearing Torn in this scene. We have a few of those gold bodysuits left in the store…so sexy!
Richie was a big help in prepping for the big cannoli launch! My favorite part of the entire episode is when he drops the cards all over the kitchen floor! Haha I laughed so hard! And when the sign falls over outside! I will reiterate, Richie is hysterical this season! I wish Kathy a lot of luck, as I can speak from personal experience and say that owning your own business definitely has its ups and downs. I have never had the pleasure of tasting one of her cannolis, but I am sure they are very good!
Jacqueline's Autism speech was very touching, and I thought her delivery was spot on. She is a wonderful mom and Nick's progress is truly remarkable. He has come so far, and I think it's very commendable that Jacq wants to help others by raising awareness.
Question. At Chakra, why does Melissa act so happy when she walks over to Penny at the bar? If she and Joe really believe Penny is the one who is actually spreading these rumors why act so calm around her? And better yet, why is Joe so quick to point a finger at all the women with regards to this cheating accusation? Why not go right to the source? I didn't start the rumor. Teresa didn't start the rumor. Jan didn't start the rumor. And Penny didn't start the rumor. Melissa's ex did! It was all over Twitter. Whether it did or did not happen, HE is the one Joe Gorga should be confronting! Maybe it is just easier to always blame Teresa. Hmm…
Well, by the looks of the previews I guess you could all see I'm back next week! My Posche 2 opening at the Moxie Salon is the finale and it's a two parter again! We're gonna go out with a bang! Can't wait for this one and I can only say one thing: Drama will be delivered! Until next week…

Desperate Need to Slash Construction Cost of New Subwaysby Eugene E. Dallaire, Assoc. Editor;
Serial Information: Civil Engineering—ASCE, 1976, Vol. 46, Issue 12, Pg. 37-42
Document Type: Feature article
Subways and subway stations cost far too much to build in the U.S. Whereas Londoners recently built 3-1/2 miles of subways and subway stations for only $18,000,000, the Washington Metro is running $50 to $60 million per mile. Among ways to dramatically cut costs: (1)Establish better contracting practices — having the consultant do a more thorough geotechnical investigation so subway contractors won't have to put large contingency factors into their bids; (2)introduce new technologies such as slurry walls, secant pile walls, and precast concrete liners; (3)remove the burden of risk from the shoulders of consultants, risks connected with the introduction of new technology; (4)more carefully study alternatives in the initial planning phases of a subway system — necessary for subway tunnels to be so large? Subway platforms need to be that long? Do stations have to be as large or as deep? In sum: the U.S. DOT is unhappy with the designs of current subway systems; they are not as cost-effective as they could be. The U.S. must introduce technical and institutional innovations, as other countries have done, if costs are to be sharply reduced.
