Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) Market
Monochloroacetic Acid Market set to cross the billion-dollar benchmark by 2024, APAC to drive the regional landscape
Business collaborations having been one of the key growth strategies of myriad industries, have also profoundly impacted Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) Market. One such instance bearing a testimony to this tactic was the collaboration of the German Company, CABB Gmbh, in 2013 with two domestic enterprises JinweiHuasheng Chemical Co. Ltd and Jining Gold Power Co. Ltd, where the former had inked a Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of a joint venture company in China to deal with the marketing and manufacturing of high quality monocholoroacetic acid. Reportedly, three companies collectively invested around USD 160 million in the MCAA project of production capacity 50000t/a. The constant technological innovations characterizing this fraternity and series of such collaborations and joint ventures are poised to influence monochloroacetic acid industry trends in the ensuing years.
Europe monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) market size, by application, 2013 – 2024 (USD Million)
Global monochloroacetic acid market involves the participation of biggies such as AkzoNobel N.V., Daicel Corporation, The Dow Chemical Company, Daicel Corporation, Shandong Minji Chemical Co., CABB GmbH, PCC SE, Niacet Corporation, and, Xuchang Dongfang Chemical Co. Ltd. The strategies of alliances and product innovations are quite rampant across the competitive landscape of the monochloroacetic acid industry. The recent announcement of Atul Ltd. and AkzoNobel entering a partnership agreement with regards to production of MCCA in India is again a substantiation of how monochloroacetic acid market giants are deeply ingrained in collaborative approaches. The partnership was rather an appreciable step by both the firms to further exploit the potential of monochloroacetic acid market. Global Market Insights, Inc., claims monochloroacetic acid industry to surpass a revenue of USD 1.2 billion by 2024, with a projected CAGR of 4% over 2017-2024.
Monochloroacetic acid, often termed chloroacetic acid is recognized as one of the most halogenated forms of acetic acid. Being reactive in nature, this compound can form a number of intermediates by undergoing reactions. In fact, this fundamental aspect further expands the application horizon of monochloroacetic acid market. For instance, this organochlorine compound is an integral component in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) manufacturing, which finds extensive application across diversified domains, such as food and beverage, paints & coating, textile, paper & pulp etc. It is therefore no surprise that the growth of all these aforementioned domains will leave a perpetual impact on monochloroacetic acid industry dynamics as well. As per the estimates, approximately 30% of the globally produced MCCA is used in the manufacturing of CMC.

A sizable chunk of the overall monochloroacetic acid industry share is obtained from agrochemical application, which is why the growth potential of the market is forecast to be remarkably high in agrarian countries, particularly in the United States and BRICS nations. As per a recent estimation, in the year 2016, 45% of the total land in America and 60% of the total land in India were under cultivation. The population curve of China and India is exponentially increasing, a factor that is subsequently necessitating increased crop production to address the rising food demand curve. Enhancement of soil fertility has thus become a requirement of late, which is quite evident from the increased consumption of pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, and other chemical aggregates across APAC belt. Since MCAA and its derivatives are extensively deployed in these agrochemicals manufacturing, the aforementioned aspects are expected to upscale monochloroacetic acid industry demand.
Speaking of the geographical trends, Asia Pacific is forecast to procure a major chunk of the overall industry over the coming seven years, accounting for almost 60% of the overall share by 2024. Other than agrochemical sector, the proliferation of medical, personal care, and textile sectors have also proved to be beneficial for the regional monochloroacetic acid industry growth. MCAA is majorly used for glycine production, which is an intermediate compound obtained from glyphosate herbicide production. Statistics claim, glyphosate is arguably the largest volume of herbicides that are produced worldwide. Though there are other synthesis routes for glyphosphate production, but in China, the predominant route is through MCAA. This fundamental aspect makes China's contribution significant not only in the APAC monochloroacetic acid market but also in the global business space. China is arguably the largest consumer and manufacturer of agrochemicals. While emerging agrochemical domain plays a crucial role in the development of regional monochloroacetic acid market, another key end-use segment almost equally responsible for the business proliferation is the paper and pulp sector.
Heavy depletion of petroleum reserves across some of the regions have of late turned out to be a major concern for the monochloroacetic acid market players. Depleting crude oil reserves has subsequently resulted in raw material price discrepancies, thereby generating a supply demand gap in the value chain. However, unprecedented efforts are being continuously undertaken by the raw material manufacturers at the grass root level to overcome these challenges.

Energy, Sustainability, and Life Cycle Assessment [2.50s]
June 17-19, 2013 | $2,500 | 1.5 CEUs
Lead Instructor: Timothy Gutowski
The purpose of this class is to address the issue of sustainability from an engineering perspective. First we review the concept of sustainability from several points of view including economics, ecology, and engineering. This discussion includes the widely used "Triple Bottom Line" approach of industry. The current state of the "Science of Sustainability" will be reviewed. We then develop a resource accounting perspective in some detail with the emphasis in four areas:
1) energy resources analysis, energy flows, balances, efficiencies, primary energy use, energy return on investment, net energy analysis, renewable energy.
2) material resources analysis (including not only the materials used in the delivery of products and services, but also the effects on major material cycles such as carbon, water, and nitrogen). This approach will be expanded to aggregate both fuels and non-fuel materials by using an exergy analysis approach.
3) life cycle assessment of products and services (including variations on the method such as input-output models, hybrid models, and exergy models and a critique of the utility of LCA).
4) accounting for the role of ecosystem services in supporting industrial activities.
Radical Innovation [PI.33s]
June 10-12, 2013 | $2,500 | 1.4 CEUs
Lead Instructor: Sanjay Sarma
Five years ago, traditional players such as Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, and Motorola dominated the mobile phone industry. The hottest phones today are by Apple and Google. Three elements of modern technology are making new ideas appear at such an extraordinary pace: the sheer rate of technical progress, the abundance of tools that are placing advanced technologies within the reach of new entrants, and the extraordinary opportunities created by convergence. Not all innovation need progress at this rate; however, there are lessons to be learned from these events and every company should be prepared to leverage opportunities from within or to ward off threats from without. The objective of this class is to cover some of the salient features of innovation in the modern world and to lay out the philosophy, tools, procedures, and incentives that an organization can adopt to drive innovation.
The course will cover a range of topics in innovation. We will start by understanding what makes a successful innovative product and business: People, Opportunity, Context, and Technology. We will examine case studies in what we call radical innovation and will identify steps that companies can take towards encouraging innovations from within, ranging from brainstorming sessions to invention awards. We will also examine successful incubator strategies and critical success factors and some of the IP issues around invention. Next, we will explore the role of venture funds inside and outside companies, and discuss spinouts, spin-ins, licensing, and acquisitions. Finally, we will consider the role of communities, standards bodies, and open-source models in innovation. We will have breakout sessions in which smaller groups will engage in innovation exercises.
Applied Cyber Security [6.85s]
June 24-25, 2013 | $1,800 | 1.3 CEUs
Lead Instructors: John R. Williams, Abel Sanchez
In today's world, organizations must be prepared to defend against threats in cyberspace. Decision-makers must be familiar with the fundamental principles and best practices of cyber security to best protect their enterprises. In this course, experts from academia, the military, and industry share their knowledge to give participants the principles, the state of the practice, and strategies for the future.
Sessions will address information security, ethical and legal practices, and mitigating cyber vulnerabilities. Participants will also learn about the process of incident response and analysis. The content is targeted at ensuring the privacy, reliability, and integrity of information systems.
The majority of the course (about seventy-five percent) is geared toward participants at the decision-making level who need a broad overview, rather than those who are already deeply immersed in the technical aspects of cyber security (software development, digital forensics, etc.), although both groups will find the course valuable.
Modern Manufacturing Systems and Technology [2.30s]
TBD, Summer 2013 | $2,310 | 1.8 CEUs
Lead Instructors: David Hardt
This course focuses on Manufacturing and the entire process of going from customer needs to order fulfillment, with a particular emphasis on the process of creating products on a commercial scale. It will focus on the conversion of material into components and components into products that are delivered into a supply chain. This also encompasses the engineering and business aspects of these industries.
Tribology: Friction, Wear, and Lubrication [2.81s]
June 24-28, 2013 | $3,250 | 2.8 CEUs
Lead Instructor: Nannaji Saka
The study of friction, wear, and lubrication has long been of enormous practical importance, since the functioning of many mechanical, electromechanical and biological systems depends on the appropriate friction and wear values. In recent decades, this field, termed tribology, has received increasing attention as it has become evident that the wastage of resources resulting from high friction and wear is greater than 6% of the Gross National Product. The potential savings offered by improved tribological knowledge, too, are great.
The background of most engineers in this important technological area, however, is seriously deficient. For example, an undergraduate engineering student receives less than an hour of instruction in tribology. Moreover, most reference works of tribology provide little guidance to solving real-world problems.
Accordingly, this program presents current insights into tribology in a pedagogical form, focusing on such fundamental concepts as surface energy, elastic and elastoplastic deformation, microfracture, and surface interactions at the micro- and nano-scale. Additionally, special considerations are given to the application of fundamental knowledge to control friction and wear behavior through lubrication and the selection of materials and coatings in practical situations. Furthermore, modern experimental methods are discussed and several case studies are used to indicate how fundamental tribology knowledge can be applied in the design of tribological components and systems.

One of my least favorite features of Microsoft SQL Server is that it lets you apply a NoLock hint within a query. The NoLock hint tells SQL Server that, for the current query, you'd like to read the data from a given table while ignoring any locks. In systems in which there are multiple processes trying to simultaneously access the same resource, NoLock is advantageous because it allows user queries to operate without needing to wait for updates to finish. The disadvantage is that in many cases users read data that hasn't been committed to the database or is only partially in place, which can produce unexpected results.
I usually find the NoLock hint in use by Web applications that are well behaved but the business tier has a custom-reporting capability, import capability, or both. For example, a common pattern is that in order to speed custom reporting, the system occasionally reads from five or six related tables, then inserts or updates all the data used to create reports into a single table. Rather than update the reporting table as changes occur on the source table, the developers thought they could speed the system by batching these updates. Similarly, for data import, there's one giant statement that takes a table or a file of data from another system and attempts to insert all the rows in a single SQL statement.
The problem with batching updates and using giant statements is that SQL Server holds locks until the entire transaction completes. As a result, users' queries against the involved tables are suspended, making it seem like the application has frozen. The easy solution is to add the NoLock hint, which allows these queries to occur while these massive updates statements run their course.
At this point, a quick review seems in order. When you're creating a transaction, you want to follow the Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID) principle. Atomicity doesn't refer to an atom bomb but rather that a transaction should be processed completely or not at all. Thus, you should work with the smallest possible unit. For example, it's better to process one order and its accompanying set of order details rather than 10,000 orders and all of their accompanying details.
Granted, NoLock usually lets organizations survive with few noticeable errors. However, I had been looking forward to SQL Server 2005 because it was supposed to provide an alternative to using NoLock. In SQL Server 2005, Microsoft introduced Snapshot Isolation. The basic idea is that transactions are held in suspense; thus, a long-running transaction (e.g., 10,000 orders) wouldn't hold locks during the transaction's update cycle, allowing reads to be done against clean data.
Unfortunately, Snapshot Isolation has two problems that keep it from being a good replacement for NoLock. The first problem is that enabling the Snapshot Isolation option in a database requires an additional 14 bytes of space per row in every table. Given that most companies that have broken the transaction rules have also created some very wide tables, this space requirement can be a problem.
The second and bigger problem is how this feature is implemented. Specifically, when data is written to a database, SQL Server 2005 writes all the data to a temporary table in TempDB instead of updating the actual database. When the transaction completes, SQL Server 2005 moves the data from TempDB storage to the database. This means that the system will likely need additional hardware to provide more I/O capacity.
Unfortunately, I suspect that the majority of organizations that could really benefit from Snapshot Isolation won't be willing to pay the price to implement it. Of course, the real solution is to not have long-running transactions, but then everyone agrees with that in principle. For more information about Snapshot Isolation in SQL Server 2005, I suggest that you go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql90/html/sql2k5snapshotisol.asp.

Obama of the empty chair fame, wasn't going to visit Louisiana before all his important campaign stops. He had to change his schedule to fit Louisiana in on Monday. He only did that because Mitt and Ann Romney showed up in Louisiana today.
Nice job, Romney! At least Romney cared.
Nothing to fear Obama, your chair awaits!
via Daily Mail
President Barack Obama was today forced to announce he will fly to storm-hit Louisiana on Monday – hours after Mitt Romney beat him to the punch by deciding to head there this afternoon.
After it emerged that Obama was still taking time to fit in a campaign stop in Cleveland, Ohio before checking out how clean-up operations are proceeding in the Bayou state, the Obama campaign abruptly cancelled that event.
'In light of the President's travel to Louisiana to meet with local officials and view ongoing response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Isaac, President Obama will no longer travel to Cleveland, Ohio on Monday, September 3,' the campaign said in a terse statement…

OKANOGAN A Pontiac Ridge father and his son are being held in the Okanogan County Jail on $1 million in connection with the September slaying of Hoquiam hunter Michael R. Carrigan.
Bail was set Wednesday for John Wayne Jennings, 57, and Adam Shaun Jennings, 27, both of Chesaw in Okanogan County Superior Court.
The men are charged with first-degree premeditated murder and face up to life in prison and a $50,000 fine if convicted.
The men were arrested Tuesday, Undersheriff Joe Somday said.
Adam Jennings also was arrested on suspicion of unlawful possession of a firearm, Somday said. His father was arrested on suspicion of delivery of a firearm to an ineligible person.
Both live on Pontiac Ridge Road about six miles from Chesaw.
Carrigan, 52, died Sept. 2 during a hunting trip. His hunting partner, Gig Harbor resident George R. Stover, 65, told deputies they had been hunting grouse and Carrigan got out of the vehicle to shoot at a grouse, court records show.
Stover heard a shot and saw Carrigan with blood on him and then saw him fall to the ground, Sheriff Frank Rogers said.
An autopsy determined he died of a .22 caliber gunshot wound to the back.
As of mid-afternoon Tuesday, law enforcement officers were still at the Jennings homestead executing a search warrant on the Jennings property and home, Somday said.
Carrigan's death was the fifth homicide in the county in 2013.
A full story will appear in the Nov. 27 print edition and e-edition of The Chronicle.

It's 1 in the morning, I'm 15,000 feet above sea level, and the moon and cluster of stars hanging over this East African mountaintop seem so near to earth that I stumble.
I crane my neck to see a colossal patch of snow-covered rock jutting from the mountain's summit 4,000 feet above.
I had left the clapboard hikers' cabin intending to take a quick look at our trail. It is about 20 degrees F., and I am dizzy from the altitude.
My sister, Liz, and I had spent four frigid hours not sleeping, making nervous chitchat in an unheated, unlit cabin. It was filled with dozens of people: Austrians, British, Germans, Spaniards.
I imagine that for hundreds of years, perhaps thousands, hikers have rested at roughly this spot, deciding, like us, whether to continue up the snowy mountainside.
So I go outside to take one final look at what lies ahead.
It is called the "Roof of Africa." The summit of this mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro, is the highest point on the continent.
The Nile, the Sahara, the rain forest of Congo, South Africa's jagged escarpments - Kilimanjaro towers over them. I imagine these natural wonders converging together, swelling to a final icy point 19,340 feet above the sea.
To get there, we must hike for six hours up a path of scree
and stone. At its foot the trail is inviting - broad and gradual. According to all firsthand accounts, however, the final portion is a slog. The pitch is severe, the switchbacks are few and narrow, and the air is very light.
We must leave soon in order to reach the summit, Uhuru (freedom) Peak, by sunrise. This is important in order to bypass melting snow and to be the first people on the continent to see the sun rise. I walk back to the hut, and Liz and I weigh our options.
Moving forward would reward us with the awe of the moment as well as the much-desired admiration of friends and workmates, who would consider us "extreme" athletes. Turning around would lead us to friendlier air and conditions that will be more vacationlike.
Liz and I had spent a day in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, and planned to safari for four days in Kenya's Masai Mara National Park after the hike. But scaling Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, was our priority.
We both feel as though we're suburban adventurers who have bitten off more authenticity than we can chew.
But I am happy to at least have put myself in a position to chicken out. Consider the facts: I am an Illinois flatlander. I love the outdoors, but exercise sporadically. For most of my life, the closest I have come to "roughing it" has been foregoing sunscreen on the beaches of Lake Michigan.
Yet I am a mere six hours from Africa's rooftop. Not bad.
Such is the attraction of Kilimanjaro to thousands of other "normal people." Climbers do not require crampons, harnesses, picks, or ropes to get to the top. But the payoff is big. Kilimanjaro is one of those names that echoes from the golden age of exploration, before the world's wonders were rendered mundane by the Travel Channel.
The mountain itself is steeped in lore. References range from the Egyptian astronomer Pythagoras, who first mentioned the "Great Snow Mountain" 1,800 years ago, to Ernest Hemingway, whose 1938 story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" described the mountain as "wide as all the world, great, high, and unbelievably white in the sun."
The costs can add up
Organizing a trip up the mountain is easy. Trekkers are required to book passage through a tour company. There's no need to use a US-based agency, which will simply add extra fees to the bill. A handful of reliable outfits can be found in the tiny towns at the mountain's base. We each paid $600 for park entrance, two porters and a guide, food, water, lodging, and two nights in a hotel before and after the hike.
Several routes go up the mountain; we opt for the easiest and least costly - Marangu, which traverses the southeast side. Three sets of bunkhouses are spaced along the route.
Most trekkers book passage for five days and four nights. We do the same, keeping in mind our guidebook's recommendation to spend an extra day "hanging out" - acclimating to the altitude.
Beginning at an elevation of 9,000 feet, the trail wends through lush forest, crude trees, and monstrous green plants.
Our serenity is challenged a bit by a half-dozen children waiting along the trail. Their clothing is tattered. They ask us for candy or pens.
Our porter walks a few paces behind us carrying a backpack, a rucksack of clothing on his head, and two jugs of water over his shoulders. A cardboard container tied in white rope dangles from his left hand like a holiday hatbox.
Felix is among four porters entrusted with transporting our clothing, water, and food up the mountainside. In contrast, Liz and I are burdened only by fanny packs filled with carrot-cake-flavor power bars.
Felix is Chagga, the ethnic group that for centuries has harvested bananas and coffee from the rich soil at Kilimanjaro's base. They are relatively prosperous people, benefiting from schools and roads built by German missionaries more than a century ago. They also serve as guides and porters on Kilimanjaro, carrying the belongings of hikers who are nearly all Westerners.
The juxtaposition is unsettling. But we try to ward off feelings of affluent, white-person guilt. It seems disingenuous to be appalled, briefly, by the poverty here and then move on to the next tourist site. Most of the hikers, however, are generous with their money in Africa. (Tips for a guide and four porters generally exceeds $100.) We are uncertain what else we can do. Our intentions for being here are clearly recreational.
We pierce another layer of clouds the second day, passing through valleys of heather, a crater to our right, monkeys to our left, and onto the moorland, which is dotted with tough shrubs and prickly plants.The temperature drops, and we pull on our fleece sweaters. As we carefully tread the mountain's narrow spine, the sea of clouds ahead breaks for a brief moment, revealing the peak's snowy dome.
We should rest for an extra day to get used to this altitude, but we move on the next morning, unwilling to sit through more card games. We are joined by two Spanish men. They walk as though they have glass in their boots, measuring each successive baby step with a short, efficient jab of their walking sticks.
Still, they pass us on our way to the mountain base. In their wake, we slowly walk through the saddle, a barren desert valley darkened only by shadows, at a speed that my 15-month-old nephew would easily surpass.
Short on breath, we find two bunks inside the final hut and wish we could sleep.
Ninety percent of all hikers on Marangu route do not reach the summit. From our perspective, there is no shame in deciding to turn tail. Tired, cold, and looking forward to our planned safari, that's exactly what we do.
Halfway down the following morning, nearing the comfort of a hot shower and feeling fit, we are told by a British hiker that the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House had been leveled the day before.
Liz and I get off the mountain in a few hours, find an Internet cafe in Moshi, and read news stories online. Our hotel lounge is filled with tourists watching BBC broadcasts.
But from the perspective of most people here, the attacks might as well have occurred on another planet. The markets are full. People stand alongside busy roads trading stories with smiles. A call to prayer from the Muslim mosque down the street wakes us the following morning.
Liz and I board a bus headed for the high green grass of the Serengeti, deciding it may be the safest place in the world for us to be. As we drive away, I look out the back window, and Kilimanjaro is wrapped in clouds.

A Congregation That Welcomes Interfaith Cares About Everyone
by Marcia Brandt Frezza
Several years ago my husband Tony and I moved to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina and joined Congregation Beth Yam. What a blessing for us to find this amazing community! What is unique about Congregation Beth Yam is that the we have developed a culture of caring that is part of the fiber of our congregation. We believe when it comes to the members of our congregation you cannot talk the talk without walking the walk.
Every member of our congregation at Beth Yam understands the culture of "welcoming the stranger". This might be a visitor, a new member or an interfaith couple. We choose to embrace new and different, because we believe it will make our congregation stronger in numbers and diversity. We don't hope the non-Jewish partner knows we care about them, we know they do, because we make sure of it.
80% of the children in our Religious School come from interfaith families. To offer an opportunity for our children to share Chanukah with their friends, we invited each child in our religious school to bring a friend to the Chanukah celebration. With a school population of 39 children, we had 76 children and 20 adults, who came to participate in crafts, music, video, and food. The guest children and their parents now have a greater appreciation of what Chanukah means to their Jewish friends, and our Jewish children felt proud to be part of CBY. Those children who are part of an interfaith family know that we welcome not only them but their parents. Being Jewish takes on a new meaning in our synagogue, it means we care for you unconditionally, whatever your roots.
We believe in making home for the non-Jew at CBY because it benefits us and our congregation. We remember the words of Rabbi Alexander Schindler z''l , that it is time to stop sitting shiva when someone intermarries. Instead of sitting Shiva, we are working to increase our numbers and grow together. Any congregation can embrace this mind set, welcoming the stranger and developing programs that include all members, Jews and non-Jews alike. Our strength comes from our mingled roots, our shared knowledge and experience and our willingness to care about each other. Our culture of caring is our way of building a strong home for the non-Jew in the community. Our culture of caring tells all our members that they are important to us and that each of our histories and backgrounds come together to build and strengthen congregation Beth Yam.
Marcia Brandt Frezza is the Outreach Chairperson of Congregation Beth Yam in Hilton Head Island, SC.

Manchester United U18 thrashed Bury 7-0 yesterday.
Paul McGuinness arranged the fixture to give a run-out to those who would have been disappointed to miss out on Friday's FA Youth Cup tie against Burnley, which saw the Reds suffer a 4-3 defeat.
Sam Byrne and Declan Dalley started after coming off the bench at Old Trafford in the cup exit while unused substitute Kenji Gorre was also included, clearly itching to get involved as his performance illustrated.
After a goalless first half, Gorre scored four times, one from the penalty spot, to take centre stage although it was Josh Harrop who made the breakthrough soon after the restart.
Substitutes Demetri Mitchell and Joe Riley also got on the scoresheet following a raft of changes as the goals flowed the longer the game wore on.

Submitted by Arthur - N1ORC Expedition 8 Commander Michael Foale continued payload activities with the Pore Formation and Mobility Investigation <http://www1.msfc.nasa.gov/NEWSROOM/background/facts/PFMI.html>, which is studying how bubbles form in metal and crystal samples, thus deteriorating the samples' strength and usefulness in experiments. This experiment is conducted in the Microgravity Science Glovebox <http://www1.msfc.nasa.gov/NEWSROOM/background/facts/MSG.html> located in the Destiny Laboratory Module </station/assembly/elements/uslab/index.html>. The Station successfully raised its altitude by 1.6 miles (2.5 kilometers) using a docked Progress cargo vehicle for reboost maneuvers. *New Crew to Continue ISS Science *Like its predecessors, the Expedition 8 crew will continue to use the International Space Station as an orbiting laboratory. Expedition 8 Commander and NASA ISS Science Officer Michael Foale and Flight Engineer Alexander Kaleri will devote more than 300 hours to research </station/science/index.html> during their six-month stay aboard the orbital outpost. Most of the experiments they will work with are holdovers from previous Expeditions. Earth observation, bioastronautics and physical sciences are some of the areas that the research will cover. However, the science schedule for Expedition 8 is flexible and planners are evaluating new experiments that could be sent to the Station aboard three Progress cargo ships scheduled to visit the ISS during Expedition 8's tour of duty. Some of the experiments on the Station require little or no intervention by the crew.

NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson talks about Tom Wilhelmsen's move to AAA Tacoma. At times appearing to still have the magic from 2012, Wilhelmsen, for the most part, has been a major disappointment in 2013. Currently boasting a 4.37 ERA in 47 appearances this year, he just doesn't have the look/feel of a dominating closer anymore. Whether or not this has to do with the league adjusting to his style of pitching remains to be seen, but the biggest difference between 2012 and 2013 has been his command. Read on for more analysis on the move.

The Feldenkrais method® helps you learn how to create new and maintain existing connections between your body and your mind. Those improved connections are necessary for any movement that is pain-free, easy, efficient and graceful.
Hundreds of neuro-motor coordination lessons create the conditions for you to improve and recover after physical or neurological injury. Such as back pain, neck pain, RSI, hip pain/replacement, knee pain/replacement, osteoarthritis, NMD, MS, Stroke, CP.
The Feldenkrais classes are easy and pleasurable way for you to sharpen your attention while finding better alignment, flexibility and improving your dexterity. The lessons will help you reach remarkable agility at any age will teach you how to access continuous improvement.
The Feldenkrais lessons, both group and individual, aim to help you clarify and refine your skill, so you can expand your movement options. Greater range of options is invaluable, if you are looking for a way to take your skill of performance in arts, sports and music and drama to a level beyond comparison.
"Feldenkrais has made my habits obvious to me and given me practices to change them. Before I didn't have much awareness or the understanding that there were other options. I didn't know I had a choice.
Now, I know I have choices and how to explore them. I still go to a weekly class run by the wonderful Nadia Chavka. It's going to take me awhile to discover all my unhelpful habits but at least I have help now. I know if I can't sort out my twisting shin Nadia will have suggestions.
Thanks Nadia. I know people tell you this all the time but you have changed my life!"
"Nadia's recent Feldenkrais class got me thinking about movement in a different way.
" I believe that this was a rare experience for me since the time of being a young child to consider and learn how to perform a new movement of the whole body - I felt it activated a pathway of learning that had laid dormant in me for a very long time."

I stand by my position; the vape industry does not target kids. Maybe the California Department of Public Health (CADPH) does. Even if it is not their intention, it's almost impossible to prove one way or the other. How can anyone target a specific demographic and exclude another with 100 percent confidence? Is it even possible?
Check out this post by Stefan Didak on the Not Blowing Smoke Facebook Group:
Over at #notblowingsmoke we get a lot of e-mail. And quite a lot of those are aimed at the STILL Blowing Smoke campaign. It's a good thing concerned citizens are reaching out to us, though. Because it allows us to spend some quality one on one time as part of our educational mission.
Here's an example of one of those e-mails…
PLEASE stop playing the commercial using the song "Lollipop" and pictures of e-cigarettes/cigarettes. My 4 year old keeps asking me if they're candy after seeing the commercial playing that song!!! This after I have convinced him that cigarettes are disgusting. Please stop playing this and any other commercials that even mockingly portray cigarettes or e-cigarettes in a positive light. It is confusing for my son.
Thank you.
Which is wonderful because it allows us to engage with the public out there in a polite and friendly manner, like this…
Dear Caterina,
Thank you for expressing your concern with the propaganda campaign unleashed by the California Department of Public Health in which they are attempting to make vapor products appeal to minors by using colorful and crafty, almost subliminal, imagery combined with a sound track that is clearly aimed to attract the attention of children. We completely agree with you that this needs to stop. Especially considering that this $7 MILLION campaign is being paid for by all of our tax money (out of a budget of $75 MILLION for the next 5 years). This is totally unacceptable and this form of marketing to children, of a product that is clearly intended for adult smokers, needs to stop.
I do, however, need to inform you, that your e-mail has reached the wrong e-mail address. You were likely intending to contact the people behind the STILL Blowing Smoke campaign instead of the NOT Blowing Smoke campaign. As you will likely agree, our commercials and awareness campaign does not mirror anything like the kind of marketing to minors that the California Department of Public Health and Tobacco Free CA are engaging in.
I've seen comments on Reddit that the recent "marketing to kids" debate should stop. Some people think that it is a dead issue only causing a rift in the vaping community. I don't agree. I think that there should be discussion. People in the community are taking what the opposition is saying and repeating it. That strengthens the anti-vaping people's position, not ours.
Some argue that the only thing that matters is perception. Should we make changes based on every ridiculous claim they make? I don't think so. Should we take them into consideration and discuss the issues? Yes. Changing e-liquid labels may seem like the "low-hanging fruit" issue for us to fix, but it may also be the bait. We should be very careful.
Shouldn't we be fighting for our what we believe to be true? I do believe we should stop copyright infringement, but "marketing to kids" is vague. You can say that anything and everything is marketing to kids. The slope is slippery and we should refuse to climb it. It could lead to: "flavors target kids," "well designed devices attract teens," "Instagram marketing targets minors."
The focus should be about preventing vapor products from being accessible to minors. We have always held the position that shops should not sell to minors. We block minors from accessing our social media accounts. We report minors who are sharing photos and videos of themselves vaping. Let's go on the offensive and discuss what and who we stand for. Otherwise we play into the hands of our opponents.

My dieting career began in the nineties when the philosophy 'fat will make you fat' was all the rage. I became fat phobic and stayed away from anything with fat in it. I was attracted to all the fat-free, sugar-free (real-food free), food I could get. I drank diet coke like it was going to keep me thin (studies actually show people who consume diet soda are heavier than those who drink regular), and actually bought a bag of potato chips with a warning label: May cause anal leakage. Well, only once. I remember my roommates coming home from work at a pizza restaurant with free pizza and I said no thanks. I will just stick to a baked potato with nothing on it. I was eating a lot of fat free foods high in carbs and could not for the life of me figure out why I was gaining weight! I worked out and ate no fat, it wasn't fair.
Fast forward to today where the research is claiming quite a different story. Essential fatty acids which are ESSENTIAL, are vital to our health. Having fat in our diets (and I am talking about healthy fat from real food like grass fed butter and coconut oil), help with energy, brain function and aid in digestion. If you eat a bunch of greens with no fat (such as healthy oils and avocado), your body is not able to process and absorb these vitamins as efficiently. I see so many women AND men still going for the fat free junk, or eating too little while never feeling satisfied. When products have fat and sugar removed they have to replace them with chemicals to help the food taste good. These chemicals and sweeteners actually trigger the brain to make you believe you are more hungry. This leads to more cravings and eventually binge eating.
What does all of this have to do with skin? Healthy fat is necessary for beautiful skin. No wonder my skin was so dry and flaky back then! This is why you hear about Salmon being so great for glowing skin, it is the essential fatty acids within the fish. Brain function also depends on healthy fat to keep it strong and can cause many problems when it doesn't get it. (How did I ever graduate college!?)
There are so many studies that prove a high fat, low carb diet is the ideal diet for not only weight loss but for optimal health. They say going back to the way grandma or great grandma cooked is the way to go for starters. It's something to start thinking about in this current food culture where everything is processed and fat is forbidden. I for one am happy to eat fat again and actually feel good about it.
End rant.


text: OK, I admit it. Given two bottles of soda (or crackers or yogurt or….well you get it, since everything is pink right now.), during the month of October, I will choose the one with the pink ribbon. Even though I am skeptical about the use of the pink ribbon. Looks like I've got reason to be skeptical. Check out this article on "Pink Overload."

I love the irony:
Three Islamic State fighters were mauled to death by a pack of wild boar, reports U.K.'s The Times. Another 5 militants were also injured in the attack.
The men were said to be taking cover in a field as they set up an ambush for local tribesmen, local leaders said.
"It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields," Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told the Times. "The area is dense with reeds, which are good for hiding in."
The incident occurred after Islamic State fighters executed 25 people in the town of Hawija, one of three Islamic State complete-control strongholds in Iraq. The executions were ordered after several people tried to escape the town, according to local leaders. Continue Reading

text: Cape Town - The ink on Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan's Budget 2016 hardly had time to dry before food price inflation wholly undermined the increases he gave to social grants. At the time of the budget, critical economists such as Dick Forslund pointed out that increases in everything from pensions to child grants lagged behind the official level of inflation.But now the authoritative Pietermaritzeburg Agency for Social Development (Pacsa) has noted that, by the end of February, every social grant increase - only due in April - had been eroded.Between January and February alone, the price of a basket of basic food items increased from R1 797.04 to R1 879.24. The Pacsa report points out that a 25kg bag of the staple food for poor families - maize meal - increased by R21 (12%) in that time.According to official consumer price index (CPI) figures, food price inflation rose by 6.9%, while the increase in pensions was 6.3% and child grants rose by 6.1%. The child grant rises to R350 a month next month. However, Pacsa notes that, at current prices, it would have cost R546.80 to provide an adequate, balance diet for a young child.READ: Spending on social grants goes up

SOUTH BEND -- Toryan Smith readily admits trying to read offensive fronts and get the Notre Dame's defense in the right coverage in the span of a couple of heartbeats makes math class seem fun and easy. "That's the hardest thing about being a middle linebacker here," the Irish freshman said. "You're the one who has to put everyone in the right place. When I was in high school, I just ran to the ball and made plays." Smith is one of the 18 freshmen from his 28-member class who has seen the field this season, though most of it for him has been situational or on special teams. "I'd say I've been in five, maybe six snaps while the game is on the line," he said. "But you know what, I'm ready for more." This was the time for Smith and his classmates to prove it. This was the week -- ND's bye week ("open week" for ex-English teachers) -- when the Irish reserves took center stage in practice, auditioning for larger roles in the second half of the season. They pounded each other in full pads, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday while the starters went through light workouts in protective shells and shorts. "I can't evaluate them without us hitting," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said. The window of opportunity doesn't close on the 10 freshmen who have yet to play this season, but it shrinks severely after next Saturday's UCLA game. Yet there is precedent for a late look. Wide receiver D.J. Hord saw his first action last season in the seventh game of his freshman year. Overall, Weis has played 29 scholarship freshmen so far in his first season and a half. That compares to 29 former coach Bob Davie played in his five seasons (1997-2001) and the 12 frosh who saw action during the three-year Tyrone Willingham Era (2002-04). The following is a slice of freshman life at ND, as The Tribune puts the microscope of four members of this year's freshman class: Darrin Walls, CB/KR The only thing more taxing on Walls' psyche than having to face teammate Rhema McKnight in seven-on-seven drills this summer after a near-year layoff from playing defense is the daily and biting teasing he takes from Irish safeties Tom Zbikowski and Chinedum Ndukwe. "It's basically about me being too nice," said the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder from Pittsburgh's Woodland Hills High. And he is nice and polite and almost could be mistaken for the water boy, except for the fact that few, if any, people on Notre Dame's campus could move water from Point A to Point B as fast. The speed of the game isn't the problem for Walls, who has run the gamut from surprise starter to surprise bench-warmer during his first six collegiate games. "The most difficult thing for me is consistency," Walls said. "I have to give them a reason to put me out there." Walls has moved into the return game on kickoffs, and could someday be a two-way player, once he masters cornerback. "He has exceptional ball skills," Weis marveled. He also has exceptional toughness for such a well-mannered, soft-spoken man. He played his entire senior season at Woodland Hills with a separated shoulder, moving exclusively to offense after the team's first couple of games to help mitigate further damage to the shoulder. "I knew I could do more harm to it, but I just wanted to play, so I bought a brace and said, 'Let's go.' " said Walls, who underwent surgery on the shoulder last Dec. 5. "I still got hit, but delivering a hit was a lot harder on the shoulder than taking one." As a running back/wide receiver Walls averaged 8.8 yards per rush and 28.1 per reception. He had no idea Weis was even open to him being a two-way player down the road, but it brought a smile to his face. "I love offense, but I've got to get my defense down first," he said. "That's why I came here. I'm just going to try hard to get better every day," And maybe develop a mean streak in the process. George West KR/WR The crowd at Bobby Dodd Stadium was louder than George West could have imagined, and more pickled and so intense it felt like they were spilling onto the field Sept. 2. And West, the shortest member of the freshman class (5-8, 179), loved every minute of it during his college debut against Georgia Tech. "Personally, I feed from the crowd," the Spencer, Okla., product said. "I think our receivers all feel we have to prove something every time. The crowd just gives us the extra energy to do what we have to do." What West wants to do next is nudge his way into the wide receiver rotation. He has been a regular from day one on kickoff returns (20.9 avg.), and scored his first collegiate touchdown on an end-around run that was meant for sophomore David Grimes. Grimes was sidelined for ND's Sept. 30 matchup against Purdue, so West got the call on the 11-yard run. "I told Grimes on the sideline, if we got inside the 20, I was going to score one for him," West said. "I can't tell you how that felt. All the freshmen asked me about it, and I tell them it's something you have to experience for yourself." West said he benefited from being one of three early enrollees last January (running back James Aldridge and offensive guard Chris Stewart were the others), with all the big things involved in being a college football player. Now he's working on the details. "It's the little things that make the difference whether you play or not at this level," West said. "We're all fast. We all can jump. We're all good players. So that's where my focus is. I'm talking to the coaches about what I'm doing wrong. I'm talking to them about what I'm doing right. Whatever it takes, I want to move in and move up for the last half of the season." Sam Young, OT The only member of the freshman class to start every game, Young has come to realize the barking from Weis that is directed at him is never going to subside. "You kind of learn to deal with it," the 6-8, 305-pounder from Coral Springs, Fla., said. "For me personally, I try to take the criticism in stride as constructive and just move on, trying to make corrections." Publicly, Weis has nothing but praise for Young, the highest of which is that he doesn't act like a freshman. And his teammates don't treat him like one, either. There's been no excessive teasing, no "initiation", and no consoling or scolding when Young jumped offsides at Georgia Tech, Sept. 2, on ND's very first offensive drive of the season. "We all just kind of moved on," he said. "The older guys have really been like that with all the freshmen, very accepting. I think it's made us a more cohesive team." Young, the first Irish freshman offensive lineman to start a season opener since freshman eligibility returned to college football in 1972, continues to get advice from senior left tackle Ryan Harris, himself one of only three midseason freshman ND offensive line starters in the past 25 seasons. "The best piece of advice I've received is, 'You're going against Division I athletes,' " Young said. " 'You're not going to dominate everyone on every play.' " But Young has been more dominant than dominated, even going up against some of the nation's elite defensive ends this season. For all his barking, Weis knew this was possible, and so did almost everyone else around the program -- except for Young. "Never in my wildest dreams did I picture this," Young said. "You come in with aspirations of getting some playing time, but this? It's been surreal. Hopefully, it will continue." Morrice Richardson, DE It's the little things that make Richardson homesick, stopping by his favorite store for nachos and Gatorade on the way home from practice at Westlake High in suburban Atlanta. He misses his car. He misses not having to wear a coat. "The weather is going to be a bigger adjustment than anything I've seen on the field," he said. And Richardson, a high school linebacker, has had to adjust as much as anyone in his freshman class -- playing a new position (defensive end) and playing it on the lighter side (6-2, 228). He comes in at right end on obvious passing downs, a role that could expand with the sudden departure from the team of junior part-time starter Ronald Talley on Thursday. "The only thing that's real tough when you come in every now and then is that you don't really get in the rhythm of the guy you're going against," Richardson said. "But I think what really helps me out is my wrestling background." Richardson wrestled early in his career at Westlake High, a school that had more players on NFL opening-day rosters last season (6) than any other high school in the country. "Eventually I had to make a choice," he said. "I didn't figure there were a lot of schools giving out scholarships for wrestling, but I think every football player should try the sport at some point. It helps you get the offensive lineman's hands off you. It helps you with balance and leverage and footwork and conditioning. I miss it a lot." But not enough to take on teammate Trevor Laws, a 283-pound defensive tackle and former national high school heavyweight of the year. "He's kind of heavy," Richardson said. "I think the only way I could beat him is to pull on his dreads." Richardson has a more methodical plan on how to improve as an end. He has tapped into second cousin and friend Michael Irvin, a former All-Pro wide receiver, to get him film of NFL standout ends Dwight Freeney and John Abraham. "He's been a great resource," Richardson said. "He takes me to Pro Bowls too. I go to his birthday party every year. He's someone I can always talk to." If only he could find someone to help him put on weight. "I'm not going to lie to you, it's a struggle," he said. "I am trying to get bigger on my own, but no one is noticing it, because it hasn't happened. I'm not even sure I'm going to be at this position next year. They might move me back to linebacker, but I'll deal with that when it comes. Right now, I just want to make my mark as a pass-rusher." Staff writer Eric Hansen:

Remember Disney Channel hit Halloween movie "Mostly Ghostly" With Madison Pettis and Luke Benward?
Looks like Disney has finally decided to give the movie a sequel but with a twist. By twist we mean a few new stars.
Madison Pettis is the only announced actress to be returning so far. Bella Thorne (Shake It Up), Calum Worthy (Austin & Ally), Roshon (Shake It Up) and Ryan Ochoa (Pair Of Kings) has been added to the cast of Mostly Ghostly 2.
We're unsure if Luke Benward will return. He haven't been on set so we're praying he'll come in later.
Check out this photo @Alexirob shared:
Here's a photo of Ryan. A fan took this.
Check out the script Madison shared:
The movie probably will air this Halloween or next Halloween. Are you guys excited for Mostly Ghostly 2?

Well, it's time to take a blogging break. Yes, I realise it looks like I already am; it's Christmas and my city is covered in bushfire smoke. I sneezes nine times today. I counted. Anyway, I plan to do nothing involving a computer for several weeks. CAN I MAKE IT? Experts say 'hell no'. Yet I will do my utmost to avoid the lure of the interweb. As part of this 'no computer holiday' I have cleared off the camera memory card for your enjoyment:
For Zoe, and the Camper meme. Long may it live! Hey, did you know shoes are really hard to take pictures of when you're wearing them? Also, what the hell has bitten me all up my calf? Those look like fangs. Yet I feel fin– I VANT BLUUUUUUUD! GIF ME BLUUUUD! … Well. Excuse me. Can't think what happened there.
As I was saying, these are my Christmas Campers! With cows! By the way, if you google "camper shoes cows" you will be taken straight to the world authorities on the matter; namely, Laura and myself. We'll take questions from the floor in just a moment.
I took lots of pics of the new place. I can't decide whether I am a midget or whether my bed is just really, really big. (Answer: both are true. Also, a tilted mirror gives a whole new perspective on your importance in the world.) And yes, that IS a birdcage filled with Christmas ornaments. What? You don't have one? Better get on that.
"Yeah, um, that whole thing where I couldn't stand or walk for six months? Let's just forget it and move on. I feel pretty stupid about the whole thing. Sorry about the distress and the intensive nursing and the thousands of dollars and stuff."
Absolutely everything you see here (bar the wall heater) was bought from eBay. I am LIVING THE DREAM, people. The dream of SPENDING MONEY whilst SITTING ON MY ARSE. What? That's someones's dream, I'm pretty sure.
Have a wonderful Christmas and Festivus everyone! I'll return in January. Honest.
