The reciprocating paddle cell is a known practical method for depositing alloy films on wafer substrates. Recently, the mass transfer boundary layer within an industrial wafer plating cell was studied based on the measurement of limiting current. It was indicated that a shear-plate fluid agitation mechanism is capable of generating a thin (i.e.

Testifying on day 11 of the trial, firearms instructor Sean Rens read out a gun licence test passed by the track athlete, who shot dead Steenkamp through a locked toilet door at his Pretoria home on Valentine's Day last year.
One of the questions asked whether a home-owner was allowed to open fire on burglars on the other side of a security gate.
Pistorius answered: "No", Rens, who taught Pistorius gun safety and sold him weapons, told the court.
Asked in the test about the legal basis for using lethal force, Pistorius answered: "The attack must be against you, a person and be unlawful." In answer to another scenario, Pistorius replied: "No, life is not in danger."
Pistorius also made clear that a gun-owner should never shoot unless he was knew what he was shooting at, and what lay behind the target: "Know your target and what lies beyond," Rens said, quoting Pistorius' answer.
The Paralympic gold medallist, known as the "Blade Runner" on account of his carbon-fibre prostheses, denies the murder charge, saying he shot Steenkamp in a tragic accident after mistaking her, through the door, for a night-time intruder.
Rens also told the court of an incident, related to him by Pistorius, in which the athlete heard noises in his house and went into "code-red or combat mode" only to find the source of the disturbance was a washing machine.
At the time, Pistorius joked on his Twitter account of having gone into "full attack recon mode in the pantry" after thinking an intruder was in his home.
Rens also testified that Pistorius had ordered seven firearms – including an assault rifle and a Smith and Wesson 500 revolver, one of the world's most powerful handguns – although the orders were cancelled shortly after Steenkamp's death.
The testimony is likely to back the prosecution's attempts to depict Pistorius as a gun-obsessed hot-head.
Pistorius' lower legs were amputated as a baby but he overcame the disability to become the "fastest man on no legs", running on artificial limbs to win gold medals at the Beijing and London Paralympics. He also reached the 400 metres semi-finals at the London Games, competing against able-bodied athletes.
If found guilty of murder, he faces at least 25 years behind bars.

Furiex Confirms Takeda Receives European Marketing Authorization for VIPIDIA™ (alogliptin), VIPDOMET
Furiex Confirms Takeda Receives European Marketing Authorization for VIPIDIA™ (alogliptin), VIPDOMET™ (alogliptin and metformin) and INCRESYNC™ (alogliptin and pioglitazone)
MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NAS: FURX) today confirmed Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda)'s announcement that the European Commission has granted Marketing Authorization (MA) for VIPIDIA™ (alogliptin) for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes patients who are uncontrolled on existing therapies and for the fixed-dose combinations VIPDOMET™ (alogliptin and metformin) and INCRESYNC™ (alogliptin and pioglitazone). The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), issued a positive opinion for these products on July 26, 2013.
Under its agreement with Takeda, the MA triggers a $10 million milestone payment to Furiex. Furiex is also eligible to receive tiered royalties on product sales in the EU and potential sales-based milestones.
The MA was based on data from a clinical trial program involving more than 11,000 patients treated for up to four years and two key studies, the ENDURE1 trial and the interim data from the cardiovascular safety outcomes trial EXAMINE2.
The ENDURE study demonstrated that alogliptin 25 mg, in addition to metformin, offered superior durability of glycemic control at two years with notably fewer hypoglycemic episodes and no negative impact on weight compared to a sulphonylurea (SU), (glipizide). Results also showed that when alogliptin was given in combination with metformin, significantly more patients achieved target hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of ≤ 7% compared with an SU in combination with metformin.
Takeda completed the EXAMINEtrial in June 2013 and the results were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Alogliptin is the first DPP-4 inhibitor with demonstrated cardiovascular safety outcomes data in Type 2 diabetes patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The efficacy of alogliptin was also studied as an adjunct to diet and exercise as an add-on therapy to several other classes of anti-diabetic medications, including metformin, thiazolidinediones (TZDs), insulin and SUs. In these studies, alogliptin 25 mg tablets taken once-daily demonstrated clinically and statistically significant reductions in HbA1c, with a good overall tolerability profile and low incidence of hypoglycemia compared with active control or placebo. Previous trials indicated that alogliptin co-administered with either metformin or pioglitazone produced significant improvements in glycemic control compared with the respective monotherapies.
"We are pleased Takeda has received marketing authorizations in Europe for these three new Type 2 diabetes therapies," said June Almenoff, MD, Ph.D., president and chief medical officer of Furiex. "With rising incidence of Type 2 diabetes in Europe, these approvals provide clinicians with what we believe are important options to tailor treatment to meet the individual needs of this growing patient population."
"Receiving these marketing authorizations in Europe marks another important milestone for Furiex and our partner, Takeda," said Fred Eshelman, Pharm.D., chairman of Furiex. "We believe Takeda's continued success in obtaining regulatory approvals in key markets and building its alogliptin product franchise is a significant value driver for Furiex."
As previously announced, on January 25, 2013 these three new Type 2 diabetes therapies were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the brand names Nesina® (alogliptin), Kazano® (alogliptin and metformin) and Oseni® (alogliptin and pioglitazone). In addition to the U.S., alogliptin is approved in Japan and China under the brand name Nesina and the fixed-dose combination, alogliptin and pioglitazone, is approved in Japan under the brand name Liovel®.
Please see accompanying Full Prescribing Information, including Medication Guide, for NESINA.
Please see accompanying Full Prescribing Information, including Medication Guide, for KAZANO.

About Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and has reached epidemic proportions globally. The global health care expenditures to treat and prevent diabetes and its complications were estimated at $471 billion in 2012. By 2030, this number is projected to exceed $595 billion. In addition to diet and exercise, patients often need to take multiple medications to help manage blood glucose. Due to the chronic nature of this disease, combination therapy is often required to maintain diabetic control over many years of therapy.
About Vipidia (alogliptin)
- Alogliptin is indicated for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults aged 18 years and older to improve glycemic control in combination with other glucose lowering medicinal products including insulin, when these, together with diet and exercise, do not provide adequate glycemic control.
- The usual recommended daily dose is 25 mg once daily (OD), with dose flexibility for all stages of renal disease (no dose adjustment for mild renal impairment, 12.5 mg OD for moderate renal impairment, 6.25 mg OD for severe renal impairment or ESRD).
- DPP-4 inhibitors address insulin deficiency by slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide). As a result, an increased amount of active incretins enables the pancreas to secrete insulin in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby assisting in the management of blood glucose levels.
About Vipdomet (alogliptin and metformin) fixed-dose combination
Vipdomet is a fixed-dose combination therapy for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes which combines 12.5 mg alogliptin and 1000 mg metformin in a single tablet, taken twice daily. Vipdomet is indicated in the treatment of adult patients aged 18 years and older with Type 2 diabetes mellitus:
- as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adult patients, inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin alone, or those already being treated with the combination of alogliptin and metformin;
- in combination with pioglitazone (i.e. triple combination therapy) as an adjunct to diet and exercise in adult patients inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin and pioglitazone; and
- in combination with insulin (i.e. triple combination therapy) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients when insulin at a stable dose and metformin alone do not provide adequate glycemic control.
About Incresync (alogliptin and pioglitazone) fixed-dose combination
Incresync is a fixed-dose combination therapy for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, which combines 25 mg alogliptin and 45 mg pioglitazone in a single tablet, taken twice daily. Incresync is indicated as a second or third line treatment in adult patients aged 18 years and older with Type 2 diabetes mellitus:
- as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adult patients (particularly overweight patients) inadequately controlled on pioglitazone alone, and for whom metformin is inappropriate due to contraindications or intolerance; and
- in combination with metformin (i.e. triple combination therapy) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adult patients (particularly overweight patients) inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin and pioglitazone.

The ladies of "Grey's Anatomy" dominate the supporting actress in a drama category, and it'd be far from a stretch to say at least two of those women — Katherine Heigl and Sandra Oh — rose to high dramatics last season.
Heigl's Izzy Stevens began the year dealing with the death of husband-to-be Denny Duquette by baking muffins and ended it by having an affair with married man and best friend George O'Malley.
Oh endured a tumultuous seasonlong relationship and was left standing at the alter as Isiah Washington's Dr. Burke said goodbye to her, seeing her trepidation at spending a life together.
Also on "Grey's," but in a much more subdued — though by no means less well-executed — role, was nominee Chandra Wilson, whose classy Dr. Bailey, try as she might, aims to lessen the hysteria that always seems to permeate the halls of Seattle Grace.
Aida Turturro was only in a handful of "Sopranos" episodes these past few months, but even in limited scenes, she had the ability to not only raise the ire of onscreen brother Tony, but of watchers who can see through her scheming ways. Turturro managed to do so much with fewer scenes than most of her castmates.
And Aussie Rachel Griffiths seamlessly flowed from "Six Feet Under" to "Brothers & Sisters," moving from scattered sexaholic Brenda Chenowith to solid citizen and breadwinner Sarah Whedon, a model mom who does her best to keep the family business afloat.
Lorraine Bracco
Show: "The Sopranos"
Emmy pedigree: Four noms
Best scene: Her unease with counseling Tony Soprano reaching a breaking point, Bracco's Dr. Melfi parts ways with the Mob boss in severe, unmistakable terms.
Why she may win: She has been a bridesmaid more than any of her fellow nominees, and going back to her 1991 Oscar nom for "Goodfellas" will have the most history with a number of her voting colleagues.
Maybe not: Her role diminished by the final season of "The Sopranos," Bracco won't have the heat that Griffiths and the "Grey's Anatomy" gang have generated.
Rachel Griffiths
Show: "Brothers & Sisters"
Emmy pedigree: Two noms
Best scene: In "Bad News," Sarah and Joe have a heart to heart about why their marriage is falling apart and can't be saved.
Why she may win: Some could argue Griffiths never got her just due on HBO's brilliant funeral drama "Six Feet Under" and with her role here, in which the New York Times calls her "mesmerizing," voters may want to make amends.
Maybe not: The show started slowly — the pilot had to be reshot very close to the air date — but built up steam as the season went along. Yet even with strong ratings, it's still not on an awareness level with "Grey's."
Katherine Heigl
Show: "Grey's Anatomy"
Emmy pedigree: First nom
Best scene: Trying to help a dying patient who was badly hurt in a ferry accident in the "Drowning on Dry Land" episode, Izzy must perform a difficult, life-saving procedure on him under the worst of circumstances. She does the usual Izzy "I can't handle this" freak-out but, with the help of the victim's friends, gathers her composure to get the job done.
Why she may win: Heigl has little difficulty reaching Izzy's highest highs and lowest lows. Showrunner Shonda Rhimes puts a lot of pressure on Heigl to carry many intense storylines, and she's up to the challenge.
Maybe not: There are times when Izzy becomes completely irrational during crisis situations, which may bother some. And just a thought, but with "Knocked Up" receiving raves and doing so well at the box office, will voters consider her a movie star now and hold that against her?
Sandra Oh
Show: "Grey's Anatomy"
Emmy pedigree: Two noms
Best scene: As Meredith lay near death at Seattle Grace Hospital ("Some Kind of Miracle") after falling into the water, a determined and teary-eyed Christine stands over her best friend and, brimming with emotion, tells Meredith she can't die because, then, who would she share all her stories with?
Why she may win: This being her third nomination for "Grey's," it's obvious voters are enamored of her work. At some point, all those noms should translate to a win, right?
Maybe not: Tough to say if having three "Grey's" nominees in this category hurts or helps their individual chances, but a split vote among the actresses is a distinct possibility.
Aida Turturro
Show: "The Sopranos"
Emmy pedigree: One nom
Best scene: In "Soprano Home Movies," Janice and Bobby sit on the lake chatting up with Tony and Carm. Without any action to speak of, it's a beautiful portrait of who these people are, and how they'e chosen to live their lives, especially when Janice gives Tony a verbal jab.
Why she may win: If "Sopranos" adulation begins and the series starts dominating the categories, Turturro might very well be part of the landslide.
Maybe not: Unlike the other nominees, who are virtually in every episode of their respective series, Turturro was just in a couple of episodes during the last season.
Chandra Wilson
Show: "Grey's Anatomy"
Emmy pedigree: One nom
Best scene: Somebody's underwear is hanging on the wall of the surgical unit in "I Am a Tree" and Dr. Bailey is yelling at her residents, trying to figure out whose they are.
Why she may win: Her SAG Award last year raised her profile in the kudos community and her character, who is such a rock and most level-headed on the show, always has the right thing to say.
Maybe not: When it comes to Emmy, sometimes being flashy and some might say over the top — especially in the submitted episode — is better than being consistently good.
Emmy nominee Lorraine Bracco was mistakenly left out of the drama supporting actress category in Tuesday's editions of Variety.

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's soccer sophomores Alexa Quaranta (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) and Amira Walcott (Beltsville, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) helped the Retrievers to a two-goal second half and its first home victory since Aug. 20, 2010, with Friday night's 2-1 win versus Robert Morris at Retriever Soccer Park. Walcott finished the night with a goal and an assist, as the Dawgs handed the Colonials their first loss of the 2013 campaign.
The Retrievers improve to 2-2-1 on the season and take a 5-1 advantage in the all-time series, while Robert Morris falls to 3-1-1.
UMBC held a 5-2 shot advantage in the opening half, but it was Robert Morris who registered three of the first four shots of the second period. With the game still scoreless, it was Walcott who set up the Retrievers scoring opportunity with a long ball to junior forward Lilly Rydon (Stirling, South Australia/Concordia College). A tap off of Rydon's head, set Quaranta up to split the two defenders and a slotted shot inside the left post resulted in her fist goal of the season and the 1-0 UMBC advantage in the 58th minute.
Walcott struck again in the 80th minute, blasting home her first collegiate goal, to give the Retrievers the two goal edge. The score came following a corner kick from junior back Melissa Hummel (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East) and a punch out from Colonials' goalkeeper Chelsea de Jager, that bounced straight to a wide open Walcott.
Nearly three minutes later, Robert Morris would cut its deficit to one, at 2-1, as the squad's point leader sophomore forward Madison Kozlowski carried the ball down the right side of the field and centered a pass for freshman forward Antonia Grese to tap in on the far side.
UMBC would hold off the Colonials over the final 7:18, keeping RMU from taking a single shot during the span, to hang on for the victory.
The Retrievers outshot the Colonials 11-6 in the contest and held RMU without a corner kick in the contest, as opposed to UMBC's three corners.
De Jager (2-1-1) is credited with the loss after relieving Becky Schoenecker at the half. Each finished with one save on the night. UMBC senior goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) moved to 2-2-1 on the season, despite not having to make a save on the night.
Game Notes
-The Retrievers and Colonials met for the first time since 2002
-UMBC is 5-1-0 all-time against Robert Morris
-The Dawgs are 3-1 versus Robert Morris on the Retrievers' home field
-UMBC's last home win was a 4-1 victory against Delaware State on Aug. 20, 2010
-Tonight's win marks the second victory of the season, surpassing the Retrievers 2012 (1-11-5) and 2011 (0-14-3) win total

Sentiment is at its heart. The legions who grew up on Disney's Mary Poppins will find it delightfully satisfying to hear snippets of its enormously catchy songs and watch its captivating creative journey.
This is a lovingly rendered, sweet film.
Director Hancock knows a few things about directing crowd-pleasing heartwarmers, having made "The Blind Side." This one wouldn't work without Thompson.
It's a bit square, never particularly surprising, yet very rich in its sense of creative people and their spirit of self-reinvention.
Taken strictly on its own terms, Saving Mr. Banks works exceedingly well as mainstream entertainment.
Taken on its own, Saving Mr. Banks is a pleasant, crowd-pleasing endeavor. For those with a soft spot for Mary Poppins, however, it's a treasure.

Pause for kids 12 & under
Sweet peek behind Poppins story, with very dark moments.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that while Saving Mr. Banks is about the making of a classic family movie, some of the topics -- alcoholism, suicide, and a difficult childhood -- might be tough for younger kids to handle. While there are plenty of lighthearted moments to entertain tween and teen viewers, the surprisingly sad moments can be a bit jarring -- including a very sick man on his deathbed and a woman attempting suicide in front of her daughter. Parents should consider whether kids are ready for these subjects -- or if they'd even enjoy a movie that bounces back and forth between silly and serious.
Messages: To some degree, the idea that sticking to one's principles is more important than money or fame is part of the story. Also, that it's important to find a way to heal from past emotional wounds.
Role models: P.L. Travers is incredibly devoted to her fictional creation, Mary Poppins, and won't permit Walt Disney to make a movie about the famed magical nanny unless it meets her exacting specifications. Despite Disney's incredible charm, Travers refused to budge, not until she's assured he won't tinker too much with the character.
Violence: A woman almost commits suicide by walking into a river in front of her daughter. A man argues loudly with his co-worker within earshot of his child. A sick man is shown in bed, hacking up blood.
Sex: Not applicable
Language: "Damn" and "hell" are as rough as it gets here.
Consumerism: The entire film promotes the classic Disney movie Mary Poppins, as well as the commercial aspects of the Disney empire, though it's all in a historical context.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: A father can't control his cravings for alcohol and literally drinks himself to death, leaving his family in despair. Walt Disney is a secret cigarette smoker.

A new Ford, a politically charged recession and the possibilty of new imports highlight this look at Novembers past in automotive history, as reported in the pages of Ward's publications.
85 Years Ago (Nov 1927): Ford Re-Enters U.S. Market with New Model A
In his Nov. 12, 1927, story Ford's Re-entrance Into the Market Will Be Beneficial to the Automotive Industry and Business in General, B.H. Cram, president of Cram's Automotive Reports (predecessor to Ward's Automotive Reports) notes, "There is no question but that the new Ford car will be a good looking little automobile. To the man accustomed to a Ford, it will be revelation. But to the man accustomed to a modern automobile, it will be just another attractive little car."
He goes on say, "There is a big place in the market waiting for Ford. But, Ford, at best, can only hope to hold and build that market. To do this will be a real man-sized job, and Ford will be quite content if he succeeds."
In its Nov. 19, 1927, issue Crams says U.S. auto plants built 35,529 cars and trucks this week, ranging from a high of 6,682 for Chevrolet to a low of 82 Stutz Motor Car Co. models. That is down from 46,848 in the same week in a year ago. The downturn is largely due to Ford's downtime for changeover from Model T to Model A production. The company built only 550 cars this week compared with 20,000 in the same week a year earlier.
75 Years Ago (Nov 1937): Country Must Choose Cooperation or "Fascism, Communism, Socialism"
In its Nov. 27, 1937, issue,Wards Automotive Reports in an article titled Who's Killing the Goose calls for cooperation between, government, labor and capital to help end the recession that began mid-year (and will run for another nine months).
The alternative,WAR says, is "continued dissension ending in complete fascism, socialism, communism, or any of the steps in between." (See full article)
Meanwhile, theWardindex of automotive securities hits a new low on Nov. 4 of 17.325 points, undercutting the previous low of 18.285 on Oct. 20. Six months earlier the index stood at 29.096 on May 6.
50 Years Ago (Nov 1962): Studebaker Lays Off 600; AMC Records Near-Record Sales
Studebaker Corp. says it is laying off 600 workers as it scales back production at it South Bend, IN, plant to 63 cars per hour from 70. More than half of those may later be recalled as the auto maker ramps up in-house production of fiberglass bodies for its Avanti sporty car, begins building Paxton superchargers for its own use, steps up production of Studebaker trucks and expands its foundry operations.
American Motors Corp. reports a 45% increase in net earnings for fiscal year 1962, ending Sept. 30, on near-record sales of just under $1.1 billion. Some $3.255 million will be allocated to the company's "Progress Sharing" program in which an average of $120 in AMC stock will be held in the names of individual hourly workers. The company also says it plans to begin a third shift at its Kenosha, WI, assembly plant on Dec. 3, 1962, requiring 1,000 additional workers.
U.S. truck production in fourth-quarter 1962 likely will be the highest in 10 years, says Ward's Automotive Reports in its Nov., 2 issue. That would put truck output for the year on track to meet or exceed the record 1,246,442 units built in 1955.
25 Years Ago (Nov 1987): Daihatsu, Yugo-sib Coming to America; Honda Leads Japanese Car Makers
The Ward's Automotive Reports Nov. 16, 1987 issue reported: Global Motors Corp., parent of Yugo of America Inc., says it has inked a deal with Malaysia's Perusahann Otomobile Nasional to sell the Proton Saga small car (a licensed variant of the Mitsubishi Mirage/Lancer) in the U.S. beginning in late-1988 to be followed in mid-1989 by the Lincah Gama SUV also built in Malaysia.
Daihatsu is preparing to enter the U.S. market with a 92.1-in. (234-cm) wheelbase small car commencing Dec. 3, 1987. Priced in the $6,000-$10,000 segment of the market, the 4-passenger, 2-door hatchback Charade is "a car where you can move down in size from a larger car, more expensive car and still retain pride of ownership," according to Daihatsu America Inc.'s general manager.
General Motors accounts for 36.9% of the new-car market (excluding trucks) in the first 10 months of 1987, down from 42.3% the year before. Ford, on the other hand, commands a 20.1% share vs. 17.8% in like-1986, while Chrysler's slice (including the recently acquired American Motors) is 10.6% compared with 11.6%. Honda is at the forefront among Japanese makes with 6.9% of the market, up from 5.6% a year earlier, while Toyota and Nissan are tied at 5.7% vs. 5.2% and 4.8%, respectively, in 1986.
