Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's government has approved the Africa Initiative, which will see Israel invest 24 million shekels ($7 million) and Germany put up another 240 million shekels ($70 million) for a joint mission to aid developing nations in Africa in a variety of areas, including agriculture, water management, food security and health.
Against the backdrop of the increasingly important strategic relationship between Israel and Germany, and the upcoming visit of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Israeli government unanimously agreed to dub 2015 a "Year of Jubilee," seeing as it is the 50th anniversary of official relations between the two nations.
This special Year of Jubilee will be marked by a number of events and joint initiatives.
The Africa Initiative is actually an expansion of Israeli-German cooperation in two projects that have been taking place in Africa for the past three years: one to restore Lake Victoria in Kenya, and the other to implement better irrigation and water management in Ethiopia.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said he hoped the initiative would help more Germans and Europeans to realize that Israel is about much more than just conflict.
Israel and Germany officially established diplomat relations in 1965. Since then, Israel's relations with Germany have been central to its foreign policy in general, and in Europe in particular. Germany also supplies the Israeli military with important weapons, primarily submarines, and is the Jewish state's fifth largest export destination.
However, with mounting criticism of Israel in Germany, there is growing concern that the next generation of Germans will no longer find interest in the reasons for the special relationship that exists between the two nations today. The German government is involved in various projects to make sure that doesn't happen, including a youth exchange that sends 5,000 young Germans to Israel every year in order to get to know the Jewish state.

Here are a few things you should know about us:
We are the first company on the internet to offer professional grade stone veneer molds and instruction to the general public.
Our stone veneer mold designs were created side by side with world-class Architects and Masonry Contractors.
We use 100% natural stones to create our stone veneer molds from.
We love what we do!
DO NOT be fooled by cheap imitations, we are the original.
Test our concrete stone veneer molds in a side by side comparison to ANY other concrete stone veneer molds out there and you will ask us why we do not charge more. Seeing is believing
Why Rubber?
How To
Our Molds
About Us
There are many types of materials that can be used to make concrete stone veneer molds. The most common materials for making stone veneer molds are
rubbers. We learned how to make our stone veneer molds with
rubbers, but have since graduated to latex. Here is how we compare the two rubbers:
Urethane rubbers
reproduce most of the fine detail of natural stone, but a release agent is required to create and use polyurethane rubber molds. Release agents mute the finest details of the molds that are being released.
The advantage of the Urethane rubber concrete stone veneer molds
Make more molds in a shorter amount of time. (8-12 hours)
The disadvantage of Urethane rubber concrete stone veneer molds.
Heavy in weight.
Mold cavities cannot be manipulated without damage.
Longer de-mold times.
High Solids latex rubber (not that stuff that wreaks of ammonia)
There are many different types of latex. The lower grade latex rubbers are watery and tend to wreak of ammonia. The higher grade latex rubber is as thick as whip cream but NOT like cottage cheese. The higher grade latex rubber is more expensive but it is worth the extra money.
What are the different materials of Professional Grade concrete stone veneer molds?
Plastic stone veneer molds
are NOT professional grade

The advantage of latex concrete stone veneer molds.
Repairable if damaged.
Does not require a release agent to make or use.
Earlier de-mold times when making stone veneer.
Less breakage during de-molding due to flexibility and weight.
Much lighter in weight compared to polyurethane rubbers.
Turns concrete mold making into a handcrafted product.
The disadvantage of latex for concrete stone veneer molds.
Time consuming to make (3-4 days)
The amount of time to create a latex mold is well worth the effort. If you are aiming to create professional grade or even designer grade stone veneer, you will want to use latex rubber concrete stone veneer molds.
We urge you to compare Urethane rubber molds to latex rubber molds and you will you will see for yourself. It may take us longer to make our concrete stone veneer molds, but the end product is worth the wait.
The profile of products cast in
our concrete molds
will easily compete with ANY of the largest stone veneer manufacturers.

DALLAS – The Dallas Stars have sent goalie Cristopher Nilstorp back down to their American Hockey League affiliate.
Nilstorp was the backup to Richard Bachman before Tuesday's move. Bachman has made three straight starts since he had to replace starter Kari Lehtonen, who re-injured a groin early in a win over the Los Angeles Kings on April 9.
Bachman helped the Stars finish off a season-best five-game winning streak before Monday night's 5-2 loss to Chicago.
Nilstorp has bounced between Dallas and the Texas Stars most of the season. He's 1-3-1 with Dallas and 18-11-5 with Texas.
The Stars have two days off before playing Vancouver at home on Thursday night.

About Marc Yankus
The gauzy images of photographer Marc Yankus seem to evoke hazy memories. The artist, who began his career working in collage, reverses the process by making his own images into collages through the addition of layers of texture from scans of old tintypes, books, and found images. He also digitally composites still life works in a collage-like manner, creating intimate and surreal landscapes with undefined narratives that hint of childhood, loss, memory. Yankus is attracted to the inherent beauty of the urban environment, the romanticism of old architecture, and the detail and care that is part of the urban landscape, particularly in his native New York.
American, b. 1957, Long Island, New York, based in New York, New York

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—Western Michigan University's acclaimed Foster Youth and Higher Education Initiative will serve as the umbrella organization for a new social service program aimed at improving outcomes in infant foster care.
The effort is being made possible by a $50,000 grant from the Kalamazoo Community Foundation. The grant proposal was authored last spring by eight WMU graduate students as part of a program evaluation course taught by Dr. Rick Grinnell, professor of social work. The students who wrote the grant proposal are: Holly Barra, Jody Ickes, Kerrie Jackson, Bridget Jancarz, Brandan Mitchell, Korrine Wojcik, Dawn Wood and Genanne Zeller.
The grant will allow WMU to collaborate with the Michigan Department of Human Services as well as Bethany Christian Services, Lutheran Social Services of Michigan and Family and Children Services to achieve positive outcomes in infant foster care. The initiative provides training for 15 social workers in the nationally recognized Incredible Years program. The project's four immediate objectives are to increase parenting skills, social supports and community supports of the participants, in addition to decreasing their parenting stress levels.
Medium-term objectives are to decrease the time needed for: reunifying parents and children; temporary out of home care, and the time needed for successful adoption. Other objectives include lowering the percentage of maltreatment reoccurrence after reunification and the percentage of disrupted adoptions. Long-term objectives include reducing future costs to society for children requiring specialized services, and increasing the likelihood that children become productive future members of society.
The three-year initiative will involve more than 300 infants and toddlers in foster care, their respective biological parents and their foster parents.
"We're delighted to be a part of a great partnership that is sure to have a positive impact on our foster-care community," says Grinnell. "The students deserve accolades for putting together a fantastic proposal that will make this all possible. Their grant proposal was a demonstration of the perfect town-to-gown partnership."
The initiative is multifaceted and comprehensive with a three-year operating budget of more than $6 million. Upon successful completion of the first year, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation will invite an application for funding in the second year, with funding for a third year also available.
"It's an exciting time for us because the evidence-based parenting program is a first for Kalamazoo County," said Robert Peck, county director of the Department of Human Services. "Getting the grant is a testament to the hard work by WMU students, our local partners and foster-care providers. The program will be a great asset to the community."
Fostering Success is Western Michigan University's comprehensive program that addresses the educational needs of former foster youth. It includes:
- A direct-service component for WMU students from foster care;
- A statewide initiative, known as Fostering Success-Michigan, in which WMU and other colleges and universities are sharing best practices in higher education access, and
- A research component, which includes the "Incredible Years" initiative.
For more information on the project, contact Rob Peck, director, Michigan Department of Human Services at (269) 337-5254 or Joel Bell, children's services supervisor, Michigan DHS, (269) 779-4383.

Things might be down in Coral Gables as Al Golden takes over the program. But it's not unsalvageable.
The Miami Hurricanes have holes to fill and quality depth to add through recruiting (linebacker, cornerback, quarterback and receiver). But there is enough talent around at the moment -- assuming we see some better coaching and play calling -- that can have the Canes winning and competing in the ACC relatively soon.
For me, it all starts with the offensive coordinator and a commitment to running the football. If there is one real strength UM is bringing back next season, it is experienced talent on the offensive line and NFL-caliber talent in the backfield. Leading rusher Damien Berry and his tough, bruising running style is heading out the door. But with speedy redshirt freshman Lamar Miller, sophomore Mike James, Storm Johnson and Eduardo Clements expected back along with bulldozers Seantrel Henderson and Brandon Linder up front on the offensive line, the Hurricanes should and can become a team that consistently runs the football to setup the pass.
In Friday's 33-17 loss to Notre Dame, the Hurricanes ran the ball only 24 times for 103 yards. A 27-3 deficit by halftime obviously forced UM to pretty much abandon the run. But this goes well beyond one bowl game. In UM's seven wins this past season, the Canes ran an average of 42 times for nearly 196 yards and a total of 13 touchdowns. In the Canes' six losses, UM ran an average of 33 times for nearly 170 yards and six touchdowns. Nine carries and 26 yards may not seem like a lot. But it is the commitment to running first instead of throwing the ball that is the difference -- especially since the Canes led all FBS schools with 27 interceptions thrown.
With leading receiver Leonard Hankerson gone and Stephen Morris expected to take over as starting quarterback heading into his sophomore year, it only makes sense for the Hurricanes to take this run-first approach. While the Hurricanes do have some untapped talent at receiver (it's time to see more from LaRon Byrd, Travis Benjamin, Aldarius Johnson, Kendall Thompkins and Tommy Streeter) and a budding young star at tight end in freshman Asante Cleveland, its going to take Morris (82-153, 1,240 yards, 7 TDs, 9 INTs) and his receivers some time to get adjusted to the playbook of UM's new and yet unnamed offensive coordinator. Feeding the ball to Miller, James, Johnson and Clements at least 42 times a game will only make that transition easier and take some pressure off a defense in 2010 that constantly had to keep coming back onto the field after turnovers.
Speaking of the defense, that is really where Golden has to restock the shelves with talent (we'll talk about linebacker shortly) and get a lot more production. Love him or hate him, leading tackler Colin McCarthy is gone and the linebacker spot is in dire need of not only help, but an upgrade in starting talent and depth. Sean Spence, the most consistent playmaker at linebacker for UM the past three years, needs major assistance heading into his senior year to help a UM run defense which ranked 81st nationally and gave up an average of 173 yards a game on the ground and 20 touchdowns on the season.
Who will Spence get that help from? Ramon Buchanan, who started 10 games on the outside, has had his moments (54 tackles, fifth most on the team). But he needs to take his level of play up a notch or two. Freshman backup middle linebacker Kelvin Cain (12 tackles) had a monster game at Duke in his only start of the season. And as of now, he's third leading tackler at linebacker returning for next season. That's scary. Scarier? The depth. All of it is young and unproven. Kevin Nelson, who was redshirted this season, was said to have the most upside of all the young players UM recruited. He and Cain should fight for playing time at middle linebacker. At outside linebacker, with senior-to-be Jordan Futch moving over to tight end (and maybe even fullback), the guys expected to provide depth are freshmen Tyrone Cornelius (a standout on special teams), James Gaines, and junior-to-be C.J. Holton (12 career tackles).
Aside from better tackling and improving the run defense, the Canes will have to continue to produce sacks (they finished 10th nationally) and tackles for loss (led country with 8.85 per game) without future first round pick Allen Bailey at defensive end. Bailey may not have made as much noise as Hurricanes fans wanted, but he still led the team in sacks for the second year in a row (7) and ranked third in tackles for loss (11).
The good news for UM? Veteran help returns. For starters, we began to see better play from redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Marcus Forston (a 5-star recruit at Miami Northwestern) as the season went on. He had six tackles in the bowl game including three in the backfield for loss and finished second on the team behind Spence in TFLs. Forston and junior defensive tackle Micanor Regis (42 tackles, 8 TFL, 3 sacks) will be among a ground of veteran defensive linemen, which will also feature defensive ends Olivier Vernon (39 tackles, 10.5 TFL, 6 sacks, 4 QBH), a sophomore, junior Marcus Robinson (19 tackles, 5 TFL, 2.5 sacks in 10 games), junior Andrew Smith (12 tackles, 4 TFL, 3 sacks) and senior-to-be Adewale Ojomo (38 tackles, 7.5 TFL, 5 sacks).
The pass defense, which ranked second nationally, are where the bigger question marks lie. Sophomore safeties Ray Ray Armstrong, the team's third leading tackler with 79 tackles and 3 INTs, and Vaughn Telemaque, who finished fourth with 58 tackles and 3 INTs, are the veteran returnees. But it is unknown if junior cornerback Brandon Harris (44 tackles, team-leading 10 pass breakups) will be back. Ryan Hill, who had a stellar senior season despite a few bad moments in the Sun Bowl (51 tackles, 8 PBUs), along with Demarcus Van Dyke are gone, leaving UM potentially without its top three cornerbacks from the 2010 season. Sophomore Brandon McGee (15 tackles, 2 PBU in 10 games), former running back Lee Chambers and a cast of redshirt freshmen and potentially true freshmen are what the Hurricanes will have at cornerback next season should Harris decide to enter the NFL Draft early.
Special teams? Not only will the Hurricanes likely have new coordinator, but also a new kicker, punter and a need for improvement on kickoff and punt returns as well as kick and punt coverage. After their big day at Ohio State where they returned a kickoff and a punt return for a touchdown, UM's return unit went into hibernation. Take away his 79-yard punt return at Ohio State for a touchdown, junior Travis Benjamin had 22 punt returns for a total of 27 yards the rest of the season. When it came to kickoff returns, UM ranked 102nd nationally with an average return of 19.96 yards on 44 returns. Matt Bosher ranked 16th nationally in punting with an average of 44 yards a kick and he made 13 of 17 his field goal attempts. UM's punt return defense ranked 56th and the kickoff coverage unit ranked 69th.

Some of the NFL's biggest all-time stars have a gaping hole on their playing resumes.
Sure, they've got Pro Bowl selections, All-Pro honors and even bronze busts in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But they never got a chance to play in the Super Bowl.`
The first game, of course, was played in 1967, when it was known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game until getting its current name in 1969. So players in the middle of Hall of Fame careers, such as Deacon Jones, Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus, had fewer chances to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
Bad timing for some. Bad teams for others. And, for many, simply missed opportunities.
Here's a look at some other of the game's...

El Museo del Barrio is proud to announce that Luis Camnitzer, a traveling exhibition exploring five decades of work by the conceptual artist and writer Luis Camnitzer organized by Daros Latinamerica, Zurich, will be on view February 2 – May 29, 2011.
Curated by Hans-Michael Herzog, director of Daros Latinamerica, and Katrin Steffen, co-curator, this fascinating retrospective includes approximately 70 pieces dating from 1966 to the present, assembled from the Daros Latinamerica Collection. The exhibition is part of El Museo's FOCOS series, which highlights mature, under-recognized artists.
"We are grateful for the opportunity to present Camnitzer's compelling work to our New York audiences, and to collaborate with Daros Latinamerica for the first time in this endeavor so closely allied to our own mission," states Deborah Cullen, Director of Curatorial Programs at El Museo del Barrio. "Luis Camnitzer is an artist who has been critical to the New York art scene since the 1960s when he moved here, and his influence on the broader Latin American and conceptual field is profound."
At the heart of his work lies the idea that artists are … ethical beings sifting right from wrong and just from unjust
A pioneer of conceptual art, Camnitzer takes a firm socio-political stance. At the heart of his work lies the idea that artists are not first creators of paintings or sculptures, but rather primarily ethical beings sifting right from wrong and just from unjust. He works in a variety of media—including installation, printmaking, drawing, and photography.
"Camnitzer has developed an essentially autonomous oeuvre, unmistakably distinguished from that of his U.S. colleagues by its exquisite feel for context and contingency, acerbic wit, ludic qualities, ironically metaphorical polyvalence, as well as its solid socio-political commitment," notes Herzog. "The Daros Latinamerica Collection is proud to enjoy the largest collection of Camnitzer's work, and is thrilled to share with El Museo's audience this profound insight into his artistic life."
A fully illustrated catalogue in English and Spanish published by Hatje Cantz Verlag accompanies the exhibition. In addition to a conversation between Luis Camnitzer and Hans-Michael Herzog, the publication includes essays by Sabeth Buchmann, Antonio Eligio Fernández (Tonel), Michael Glasmeier, Maren Welsch, and Camnitzer, along with a preface by Cullen.

text: Tom 42 Report post Posted August 23, 2012 From ProFootballFocus: Pick No. 40 - Amini Silatolu (Panthers) Over the course of the two games watched of each second rounder, I'm not sure anyone impressed me as much as Amini Silatolu. The fact that he was even in a position to start given he hails from Division II, Midwestern State is surprising enough, but to play as well as he did, given the caliber of the opposition, is remarkable. Playing first Houston and then Miami it wasn't an easy beginning and he was bull-rushed early in the first game by Antonio Smith into giving up a pressure, but then showed a lot of skill in all facets of play. He moved smoothly in space, got to the second level quickly and in the second outing made an excellent downfield block on Jason Trusnik on a screen. If he was initially beaten in pass protection, he fought to recover and also picked up an awful lot of stunts for a preseason game against the Dolphins. In the end, that hurry from Smith was his only major error. In week three of the pre season he'll be given another major test when he faces the Jets and their rather exotic blitz packages. I for one will be interested in how he performs. http://www.profootba...no-33-to-no-42/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What Does Health Care Reform Mean for People Who Live With Parkinson's?
Careful observers of the Great American Debate About Health Care Reform — now taking place over proposed legislation H.R. 3200, or America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 — will have noticed an interesting change over the past week or so in the way the Obama Administration has chosen to frame the problem. I first noticed it during a network newscast two weeks ago featuring David Axelrod, the President's Senior Advisor. Mr. Axelrod had dropped the phrase "health care reform," and replaced it with "health insurance reform." Why is this change in phrasing so significant? It is because the new… Read More

Conveying Process
The pellcon3 process consists of Strandphase conveying in combination with Pellbow pipe bends and DeDuster systems. Strandphase is a conveying technology for gentle conveying of granular products. Moderate velocities prevent breakage and attrition of the conveyed product and keeps the generation of fines at a low level. It does not create fine micro-dust, seen in dense-phase systems, or long streamers, created in dilute-phase systems. Pellbow is a patented pipe elbow that prevents wear of the elbow and eliminates the creation of fines. A complete purge is accomplished simply by using the same conveying air volume and pressure. DeDuster is the dust removal unit that removes fines with remaining dust contents below 30PPM. Pelletron Corp., Lancaster, PA 717-293-4008 www.pelletroncorp.com
Pneumatic Line Magnet
IMI has improved the holding strength of its rare earth Bullet magnet. The new stripper collar – used to wipe metal contamination from the magnet - eliminates the loss of holding value experienced by similar magnets that incorporate a cleaning sleeve that covers the entire magnetic circuit. This addition has increased the ability to capture and hold metal fines and weakly magnetic steel by almost 30%. Ideal for dilute-phase pneumatic systems, typical Bullet magnet applications include processing of dry, powder, and granular materials. It can be used ahead of processing equipment and bulk load out to ensure product purity and protect machinery from tramp metal damage. The magnet stays on the door for cleaning, eliminating the dangers of handling a strong magnet weighing up to 200 lb. Industrial Magnetics Inc., Boyne City, MI 800-662-4638 www.magnetics.com
Dense-Phase Pneumatic Conveying System
The Dense Flow System differs from many of its competitors with the absence of air boosters along the pipeline. The system is able to achieve equal or greater results in many instances without the use of boosters. Some of the advantages to not having boosters are lower air consumption, lower installation costs, less maintenance, less "wear and tear" on the system, and less spare parts inventory. The system simplifies complex conveying problems. JDB Dense Flow Inc., Palm Harbor, FL 800-822-3569 www.jdbdenseflow.com
Dense-Phase Transporters
These transporters provide trouble-free dense-phase pneumatic conveying of hard-to-handle dry powder and granular materials. Capacities range from 0.5 to 1000 cu ft. Standard features include a smooth interior, a 60° cone, erosion allowances on wear surfaces, rack and pinion butterfly valve operator, a rotatable outlet, and a manway. The transporters are designed for pressures up to 90 PSIG and a temperature range of -20 to +650°F. Higher pressure and temperature ratings are an option, along with aeration jets, multiple inlets, and stainless steel construction. Pictured is a 5-cu-ft pre-assembled transporter. Pre-assembled units arrive in the field with valves, level control, aeration devices, air controls, and electrical controls all pre-piped and wired. This minimizes field labor, expedites the inspection process, and reduces start-up time. Nol-Tec Systems Inc., Lino Lakes, MN 651-780-8600 www.nol-tec.com
Pneumatic Conveying
ECO phase is a new design that improves the way material and air interact in the initial starting point of a pneumatic conveying system. This patent-pending process provides the efficiency, velocity, and transfer rates of a dense-phase system, yet can provide material on a continuous basis like a dilute-phase system, and uses a standard PD blower package to save energy costs when compared to the two traditional types of pneumatic conveying. Smoot, Kansas City, KS 800-748-7000 www.magnumsystems.com
Dense-Phase Pneumatic Conveying Systems
These pneumatic conveying systems handle a wide range of materials and bulk densities at rates from 500 lb/hr to 450 tn/hr, over distances to 6000 ft. Each system is custom-designed from one of 16 different conveying concepts to provide a conveying solution that fits the process. One conveying concept, the Full-Line Concept system, has advantages over the more traditional dense-phase concepts with regard to degradation and energy consumption. In addition, it is clean and totally enclosed and can be fully automated to convey to packaging or process bins. Few moving parts are utilized, as the prime mover is standard plant compressed air at 100 PSIG. Cross contamination is never an issue as the conveying line can be purged clean when switching between materials. Dynamic Air Inc., St. Paul, MN 651-484-2900 www.dynamicair.com
Vacuum Conveyors
Fully-pneumatic, the C Series features tool-free dismantling and easy cleaning. The hygienic conveyors are ideal for a variety of food processing applications, including moving materials like coffee beans, blending ingredients, loading and unloading mixers or blenders, and transporting large quantities of fresh ingredients into packaging machinery without causing damage in the process. Powered by pneumatically driven vacuum pumps, these vacuum conveyor systems safely and quietly transport up to 7 tn/hr of powders and granules in virtually any food industry environment. They are made of stainless steel AISI 316L and can cope with the most demanding circumstances. The filter design can trap particles down to 0.3 microns and can be equipped with a HEPA filter. Piab USA Inc., Hingham, MA 800-321-7422 www.piab.com
Vacuum Conveyors
These vacuum conveyors are ideal for long distance conveying applications and over torturous routes. The system is easy to route, has few moving parts, is dust-tight in operation, and empties product leaving minimum residue. Typical throughput rates are 10 tn/hr at distances of 330 ft that can be exceeded depending on the material being conveyed. Vacuum conveyors are well suited for toxic or otherwise hazardous materials since air is sucked-in and, in the event of accidental damage to the conveying tubes, prevents product escape to the atmosphere. These conveyors usually are the only way to suck material out of tubs or other open-top conveyors such as kegs and drums and are also ideal for applications with multiple inlets. Reverse jet self-cleaning filters clean the conveying air that is returned to the atmosphere after use, reduces maintenance, and minimizes product loss. An operator uses a 'wand' to suck product out of tubs that is transferred to a mixer after passing through an in-line sifter. Spiroflow Systems Inc., Monroe, NC 704-291-9595 www.spiroflowsystems.com
Bulk Bag Pneumatic Weigh Batch System
This in-line pneumatic batching system allows simultaneous weigh batching of major ingredients supplied in bulk bags and manual dumping of pre-weighed minor ingredients, and blending of the material while a subsequent batch is accumulated. Bulk bag dischargers are mounted on load cells, allowing loss-of-weight batching from either or both bulk bags. A system controller starts and stops each discharger's rotary airlock valve to weigh ingredients, first at high feed rate for rapid filling, then at trickle feed rate, stopping material flow once the accurate batch weight has been discharged. The system software allows mid-batch bag changes. Minor, pre-weighed ingredients are added at the manual dumping station that collects dust generated during dumping activities. The dilute-phase, vacuum conveyor line terminates at a filter receiver (not shown) that accumulates the batch before discharging it through a slide gate valve into a blender, allowing concurrent batching and blending of materials, cutting cycle times by half. Flexicon Corp., Bethlehem, PA 888-353-9426 www.flexicon.com
Mini Disk Fluidizer
The new two-in.-diam Mini Disk silo fluidizer, with exclusive Radial Ridge Design, fits in pipes, chutes, and small hoppers for more pneumatic conveying options. This disk provides all of the features of the company's standard fluidizers that prevent bridging, rat-holing, and compacting in silos, bins, and hoppers. The Mini Disk fits in tight curvature chambers with diameters as small as 4 in. The compact size provides material handling engineers and designers with more pneumatic conveying options due to the Mini Disk's compact size. A patent application on the new product is pending. Solimar Pneumatics, Minneapolis, MN 800-233-7109 www.solimarpneumatics.com
Dual-Blower Railcar Unload System
The Vacuum-Pressure Rail Unload System pneumatically conveys powder, pellet, and granular material from railcars at conveying rates in excess of 100,000 lb/hr. Using separate vacuum and pressure blowers, the system unloads material from the railcar at higher conveying rates and for longer conveying distances. A vacuum blower draws material from the railcar to a self-cleaning filter receiver that separates the product from the conveying air. Mounted below the receiver is an Aerolock rotary valve that meters the product into the pressure side of the system for final delivery to storage. Dual-blower systems are available in 3- to 10-in. line sizes and include a control panel, properly-sized blowers, railcar adapter kit, and hoses. K-Tron, Salina, KS 785-825-1611 www.ktron.com

Versatile Cast Aluminum Pneumatic Blowers
Design 38 cast aluminum pressure blowers utilize high-strength aluminum alloys to create strong, corrosion-resistant housings and wheels designed for adverse industrial conveying environments. Since aluminum is non-magnetic and non-toxic, the blowers are recommended for both electronic and food-related applications. The non-sparking properties qualify the blowers for AMCA Type B spark-resistant rating. Design 38 cast aluminum pressure blowers are offered in eight sizes from 8 to 18 ½ in. in combination with 64 different radial or backward curved wheels. They produce flows to 5000 CFM, static pressures to 20 in. wg, and have been performance verified in an AMCA accredited lab. Chicago Blower Corp., Glendale Heights, IL 630-858-2600 www.chicagoblower.com
Vacuum Conveyors
These new conveyors optimize material flow from the supply side to the downstream packaging operation. When used with a level-controlled buffer hopper, Multijector vacuum conveyors safely transport powders, granules, pellets, capsules, tablets, and other bulk materials under vacuum. This transport can supply packaging lines, mixers, filling machines, tablet presses, or any other kind of process equipment or vessel (containers, silos, etc.) on demand. This interactive, enclosed transfer system has advantages over conventional mechanical transport technologies - most notably in the transfer of traditionally difficult and sensitive powders. The cyclic vacuum plug flow conveying arrangement of the Multijector conveyors avoids product separation or segregation and is certified as explosion proof by ATEX. They can transfer from as little as 10 lb/hr to 6 tn/hr over distances up to 200 ft, all in dust-free, operator-friendly, and healthy conditions. Volkmann Inc., Hainesport, NJ 609-265-0101 www.volkmannusa.com

Every two or four years, we get to hold our elected officials accountable for the decisions they have or haven't made, the actions they took or didn't. It's one of the greatest privileges we have in our democracy.
According to the system the Founding Fathers developed, if we don't like the job an elected official is doing, we can pick someone else. In Nassau County, that wasn't necessarily the case this year, as voters in several legislative districts were left with only one choice on the ballot — or, in some cases, only one viable choice.
The Democratic Party had no candidates in four districts — the 6th (Lynbrook, Malverne, eastern Valley Stream), 8th (Franklin Square, West Hempstead), 12th (Massapequa) and 14th (Garden City, Westbury, Hicksville). In the 4th District, Long Beach Legislator Denise Ford was endorsed by both parties. A Republican candidate for an open seat in the 10th District, in northwestern Nassau, and a Democratic challenger in the 17th, in the east, did not actively campaign.
Leaving voters without choices seems to contradict our system. We'd bet that even the uncontested incumbents would agree that winning by default isn't the right way. Real public servants want to know that a victory on Election Day means they were the people's choice, not the no-choice winner.
Earlier this year, the County Legislature redrew the boundaries of its legislative districts. The process, known as redistricting, is mandated after each census to account for population shifts among districts and to protect the one-person, one-vote principle.
Each district has roughly 70,000 residents. Subtracting those under age 18, there are still tens of thousands of registered voters in each district. Could it be that in several cases, the major political parties couldn't find one person to run? Even in the Republican-heavy 6th, 8th, 12th and 14th districts, we can't imagine that there isn't a single Democrat who might make a good public servant — or at least a reasonable, qualified alternative to the incumbent. Did the Democrats even make an effort to find viable challengers?

DETROIT (AP) — Chrysler's Jeep brand is in talks to build some of its vehicles in China for that market as the automaker looks to build on growing interest in its SUVs among Chinese drivers, the company's chief executive said Monday.
Jeep already sells several models in China, including the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler and Compass. Jeep President and CEO Mike Manley said any production in China would be "relatively incremental."
"The home of Jeep is in the U.S. It's always going to be in the U.S. for us," Manley told reporters after the unveiling of the 2014 Grand Cherokee at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. "So we're very careful about what models we think we're going to build elsewhere."
Chrysler LLC is owned by Italian carmaker Fiat SpA.
Jeep has been talking with a Fiat partner in China about production. The Wrangler will always be built in the U.S., but there are opportunities among other models, Manley said.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, GOP candidate Mitt Romney came under criticism for an ad that said Chrysler would build Jeeps in China. That brought the 2009 government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler to the forefront in the days ahead of the election.
The claims were criticized for being highly misleading, since automakers were adding production facilities in China to meet rising demand there. Because of trade rules, it's easier for companies to build cars for the Chinese market in China.
Most of Jeep's sales are in North America, with the brand reporting global sales of more than 701,000 vehicles for 2012, up 19 percent from the previous year. It was an all-time high for the brand, topping sales from 1999 of more than 675,000.

This Vann Molyvann-designed icon was built in 1958 to celebrate independence from the French five years earlier and as a memorial to Cambodia's war dead.

When I try to watch the videos..it lags SO BAD for me. Reason why it's because the link it's sending me to watch the videos on quicktime I believe? A quicktime mediaplayer. Is there any kind of new coding or update I have to download so It wont lag when I watch, without me having to download each video?
Hi Drew (: It lags for me too when I try to watch the videos on the site, so I think the only option left is to download them :/ Though, some of the vids might already be on YT. You can try to search em, I know a few are already up.

Robert Leitch
Robert Leitch has served as one of the chairs of his 50th class reunion.
After WC, I attended Rutgers University where I earned a PhD in chemistry. While in grad school, I married Diana Dibble '65. We have a daughter, Melinda, who lives and teaches in Colorado with her family. We have 2 grandkids (both of whom have recently won National Geographic Hands-On Explorer Challenges which earned them international travel adventures with NatGeo photographers and scientists).
I worked my whole career with E.I. duPont de Nemours and retired as a Research Fellow and Manager of International Licensing and Technology-Transfer. While with duPont, we lived 5 years in Geneva, Switzerland. We loved international living and travel, which we still do often (55+ countries and still going). Much of our travel has involved "the road less traveled," including some weird, wonderful (as well as scary) experiences.
In my "music phase" I played bass and guitar, and sang in bluegrass, folk and country bands. I'm still active in local jam sessions.
In retirement, I've actively continued my many hobbies/interests in biking, fishing, gardening, golf, hiking, music, photography (nature and travel, and as member of Delaware Photographic Society), running, shooting (pistol, rifle, shotgun & archery), silversmithing, and skiing and more travel. And, of course, there's always something new to learn about.
- The unforgettable, overwhelming aroma of the Vita Foods pickle vats wafting over the athletic field during morning phys. ed. classes.
- Kingston Trio's "Tom Dooley" – played on my clock radio, every morning of my freshman year, at 7 AM. "…hang down your head and die, poor boy!"
- The dreaded (every) Saturday morning freshman chemistry tests, compliments of Dr. Joe McLain.
- Spring on campus- what a wonderful time of year (and of life)!
- The slightly slower style of life in Chestertown (not as remote, small and rural as my "hometown," but comfortable and memorable).
- Ready access to fishing, goose and duck hunting "on the Sho.'"
- Can you believe we kept firearms in our rooms? (And we all lived to tell about it… Actually, there was nothing to tell… times were simpler, then).
- Water bomb fights in the dorms as the weather warmed up.
- The unspoken "advantages" of being a chem. major… (read, access to grain alcohol).
- The special "feeling" of Chesapeake Tidewater, Eastern Shore, Maryland history.

Tomatoes, peppers, melons, squash, and cucumbers are popular summer garden vegetables. However, they also are subject to many insects and diseases. Gardeners have used colored plastic mulch to help heat the soil and increase production on these crops, but now it appears that colored mulch also can help protect plants again insects and disease.
The SRM-Silver mulch is similar to black plastic mulch but it has a silver coating on one side. As certain light wavelengths are reflected into the sky by the mulch, flying insects --such as whiteflies and aphids -- are deterred from landing on the plants. Not only do these insects feed on your crops, they also transmit diseases, such as viruses. So the incidence of disease also is lower in plots where this mulch was used.
Although the SRM-Silver plastic mulch heats the soil more slowly compared to red or black plastic mulch, it still conserves soil moisture and controls weeds like other plastics. In addition, in some tests the tomatoes grown in the SRM-Silver mulch actually outyielded those grown in red or black plastic mulch.
For more information about SRM-Silver mulch, go to the Ken-Bar Web site.

Tune in with Twitter TV - Brian Solisby sbrothier (via)
Have you ever watched TV while using a laptop, smart phone, or tablet? Wait, why am I asking. Of course you have. That's what we all do now right? So I guess the real question to ask is how often do you use Twitter vs. Facebook while watching TV? In many ways, Twitter is becoming a bona fide second screen experience while watching television. And in many ways, TV may also serve as the second screen to those engrossed in their Twitter streams. If you think about it, the idea that the TV becomes the second screen to digital experiences is rather provocative. Perhaps this is why Twitter is making some notable moves in the television analytics market recently.

I've already bought all of the other seasons on Blu Ray. That box set isn't affordable for me, just for another disc of features that I don't have. It's my favorite show, but I will stick with what I already have. The box set is pretty cool looking, but I'll just be happy to have the complete series anyways. I'll just pick up the final season set that day.

I have yet to get into the series but, like I did with Mad Men a couple years ago, I might wait to see how much individual blu ray seasons are on Black Friday.

Wall Street has lost a net 1,200 jobs since the start of 2012, New York's state comptroller said on Thursday, and is likely to shed even more with Citigroup's announcement that it will cut 11,000 jobs worldwide.
While he did not know the number of New York-based jobs Citigroup Inc plans to cut, State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said the impact of the layoffs on Wall Street and New York City is "not going to be anything good."
Continue Reading Below
"It probably doesn't come, unfortunately, as a surprise to what we've been projecting -- that you're going to see continued downsizing in financial services," he said.
Wall Street job losses during the recession have been severe, with New York City losing a net 20,000 securities industry jobs since November 2007, DiNapoli said in a report released on Thursday at a business and labor event.
"Part of the pressure now on the street is to enhance profitability," DiNapoli said at the event. "A number of these jobs will not come back," he said. "The downward pressure is going to continue in terms of head count."
The comptroller's office estimates that New York Stock Exchange member firms are on track to earn more than $15 billion for all of 2012, in line with levels before the financial crisis and twice last year's level.
While they've laid off employees, some financial firms have returned to big -- but often volatile -- profits.
The industry had its two most profitable years on record in 2009 and 2010, in part because of federal recovery support, after two years of record losses, the report said.
Last year was just as volatile. Wall Street had strong profits of $12.6 billion during the first half of 2011, with sharp losses of $4.9 billion in the second half of the year, according to the report.
One in seven jobs in New York City can be linked to the securities industry, DiNapoli's office estimates.

- Premier League
Rooney aiming to add to Man City woes
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is hoping a win in Sunday's derby will heap more pressure on Roberto Mancini and his City side.
Rooney and his United team-mates sit three points above their City rivals on the Premier League table ahead of the clash at Etihad Stadium.
Mancini's men crashed out of the Champions Leauge midweek following a 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund, and Rooney believes that result be used to United's advantage.
"City are out of the Champions League and are having a bit of a tough time - I think everyone can see that behind the scenes. If we win, we can put more pressure on them. If we get three points there, it will be massive for us.
"Obviously, it is a massive game, probably up there with Liverpool. The two of them. There is a big rivalry, the two of us are fighting for that number-one spot. We're trying to go there and get three points. We are all excited for the game," Rooney said.
Rooney also pinpointed United's wide players as an area which could help Sir Alex Ferguson's side make a decisive move in the Premier League title race.
"I think our strength is getting wingers on the pitch, getting the ball out wide, attacking and getting crosses into the box," he said. "That's obviously the way Manchester United have played for years, so I think that's one of our strengths.
"Of course, they have a strong central midfield, but they also leave gaps out wide, so I'm sure Sir Alex and Roberto Mancini will be looking at different things and ways they can capitalise on each team's weakness."

As part of an effort to restore trust in the scandal-hit Euribor interest rate, regulators said the number of maturities that make up the benchmark for trillions of euros of lending should be cut from 15 to seven.
Europe's top banking and markets regulators told the European Banking Federation, which oversees Euribor, to strengthen governance procedures to ensure no banks try to manipulate the rate. Cutting the number of tenors would "have the benefit of simplifying" submissions.
The measures "will give clarity to benchmark providers and users," Steven Maijoor, chairman of the European Securities and Markets Authority, said in an e-mailed statement today. They "are an immediate step to be taken in advance of potential wider changes in the supervisory and regulatory framework for financial benchmarks."
Global watchdogs are levying fines and criminal penalties against lenders accused of fiddling interest-rate benchmarks such as Euribor and Libor, the London interbank rate. Raiffeisen Bank International AG and Rabobank Groep said this year they would leave the 40-strong Euribor panel, while Citigroup Inc. and DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale left the group of euro rate- setters last year.
The benchmarks are meant to represent the rate at which banks can borrow from other lenders in a specific currency over various periods. Authorities are investigating whether more than a dozen banks altered their benchmark-rate submissions to profit from derivative trades or to appear more financially stable.
Nighttime Deal
The three-week maturity should be cut from Euribor, along with the two, four, five, seven, eight, 10 and 11-month tenors as a minimum, the regulators said. The EBF should perform regular governance audits and publicly disclose the results, ESMA and the European Banking Authority said. The proposed changes weren't agreed upon by the regulators until last night.
"We broadly support the recommendations and they go in the direction of the reforms we have started discussing and implementing," Florence Ranson, a spokeswoman for Euribor-EBF, the non-profit association in Brussels that sets Euribor rates, said in a phone interview.
The International Organization of Securities Commissions, a global regulatory body, also said it's seeking views on possible measures to overhaul the setting and governance of such rates, according to a statement on its website today.
The way benchmarks such as Euribor are set raises concerns over "potential inaccuracy or manipulation," IOSCO said.
