Your #1 source for kayaking and canoeing information.               FREE Newsletter! my Profile Product Reviews - Send Message You are responding to the following review: Submitted: 07-29-2010 by pjb Well, first to the good points: 1. At 8' this boat is easy to carry without the investment in a rooftop system. This is the shortest of the kayaks we own and I still often choose this one for a solo float even though we now have the rooftop system because of its very low transport hassle factor. 2. It is surprisingly quick and tracks better than one might expect for a short sit-on-top kayak. 3. Because of its short size it is very easy to maneuver. 4. Unless you are a larger person, you don't need to be too concerned about its stability. It may be small, but it's a rock. 5. Seat is comfortable (relatively). Bad Points: 1. Unless you are fairly small and light (say 140 lbs. or less), you are likely to be sitting in some water during your entire float. This makes the boat mostly suitable for warm weather only. 2. Although I use it for floating and fishing, its short length makes paddling and carrying a rod a bit more difficult than it would be on a longer kayak. The same comment goes for changing bait and/or lure while floating. 3. The eyelets are cheap plastic making them vulnerable to breaking. One of the pull handles broke off fairly quickly without much strain. Metal eyelets would likely help this problem. I certainly don't regret buying this kayak and have enjoyed using it because of its good points. I would most recommend it for a single person with a wagon, SUV, or crossover vehicle who doesn't want to invest in a rooftop system. I think it would also be good for a city dweller as it would store easily inside of an apartment and probably be able to be carried in many elevators. It would also be a very nice summer kayak for older children and teenagers who aren't too large or heavy. Your E-mail Address: Please enter 1234 (spam prevention, thanks!)

# Kayak Review by pjb (Submitted: 07-29-2010) ## Good Points 1. At 8', this boat is easy to carry without needing a rooftop system. It is the shortest kayak owned and often chosen for solo floats due to its low transport hassle. 2. Surprisingly quick and tracks better than expected for a short sit-on-top kayak. 3. Very easy to maneuver because of its short size. 4. Stable for most users unless you are a larger person; it is very sturdy. 5. Seat is relatively comfortable. ## Bad Points 1. If you weigh more than about 140 lbs., you may sit in some water during the float, making it mostly suitable for warm weather. 2. Its short length makes paddling and carrying a rod more difficult compared to longer kayaks. Changing bait or lure while floating is also harder. 3. Eyelets are cheap plastic and prone to breaking. One pull handle broke quickly without much strain. Metal eyelets would likely improve durability. ## Summary The reviewer does not regret buying this kayak and enjoys using it for its advantages. It is recommended for a single person with a wagon, SUV, or crossover vehicle who does not want to invest in a rooftop system. It is also suitable for city dwellers due to easy storage in apartments and carrying in elevators. Additionally, it is a good summer kayak for older children and teenagers who are not too large or heavy.

Wikia Memory Alpha Jaro Essa Discuss3 37,544pages on this wiki Redirected from Jaro Jaro Essa.jpg Minister Jaro Essa Minister Jaro Essa Gender: Male Species: Bajoran Affiliation: Bajoran Provisional Government Alliance for Global Unity Occupation: Minister Coup leader Status: Active (2370) Played by: Frank Langella Jaro Essa was a male Bajoran who lived during the 24th century. A politician, he rose to the position of minister in the Bajoran Provisional Government, later becoming leader of the Alliance for Global Unity. HistoryEdit In 2370, Jaro became the leader of the Alliance for Global Unity that sought to remove the Federation from the Bajoran system. He attempted to bring down the Provisional Government and install himself as leader of Bajor. Later that year, Jaro appointed Li Nalas to the post of Bajoran liaison officer on Deep Space 9 with the designation of navarch, following his return from Cardassia IV. He had Kira kidnapped when she came too close to discovering his plot. Jaro revealed to her that he was the leader of the Circle, and that he assigned Li Nalas to the station so the war hero wouldn't interfere with Jaro's coup. He was buying weapons from the Kressari who were a front for the Cardassians who were trying to undermine the Bajoran government. He believed that if Bajor was heavily armed, it would not need anyone's protection. Bajor could order the Federation out. Jaro was assisted in his dealings by Vedek Winn Adami, General Krim and Colonel Day. His plan failed when Kira and Jadzia Dax revealed to the Bajoran Ministers that the Cardassians were secretly behind the arming of the Circle and provided evidence to prove it. (DS9: "The Homecoming", "The Circle", "The Siege") Memorable quotesEdit "What you did, Major, was declare war on Cardassia. Thankfully they declined the invitation." "I'd do it again if it meant bringing Li Nalas home." "Yes, I'm sure you would. And though officially I have to warn you that the next time you disobey orders will mean the end of your military career, as a private citizen I want to thank you for what you've done this day." - Jaro Essa and Kira Nerys (DS9: "The Homecoming") "Would you mind if I address the crowd? You can't expect a politician to give up an opportunity like this." "You go right ahead." "Thank you. Fellow Bajorans, I have only one thing to say to you, to ask you, really. Never forget this moment. Because I promise you one day your children and your grandchildren will ask you know what it was like the day Li Nalas returned to Bajor." - Jaro Essa and Li Nalas (DS9: "The Homecoming") ""How can you betray your own government?" "Major, I don't have to tell you. I've heard your opinion of this government. Government. They can't even agree it is a government, so they call it provisional. It's just another word for powerless. I won't allow the Bajoran people to be powerless any more. We have been doormats to the Cardassians and now the Federation. Any great power that happens by. We will not be that again. We are a people who brought art and architecture to countless planets. We don't deserve to be victims." - Kira Nerys and Jaro Essa (DS9: "The Circle") "Major Kira has long been an outspoken opponent of the provisional government, of reason, of progress and now finally, of me. I am honoured to be included, Major, but I have no intention of allowing you to disrupt the orderly transition of power with these wild charges." - Jaro Essa, on being confronted with proof the Cardassians were supplying the Circle (DS9: "The Siege") AppendicesEdit AppearancesEdit Background informationEdit Jaro was played by actor Frank Langella. The script for "The Circle" describes Jaro as, "the gifted politician, practiced at being ever-affable." [1] Jaro Essa costume - It's a Wrap Frank Langella's costume was sold off for $370.00 Langella's costume comprising an asymmetrical mauve jacket with zips and snaps on the right front and sparkle accents within the fabric on the left, in addition to matching pants featuring black elastic stirrups and suspenders, was sold off in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay for $370.00. [2] Langella chose to receive no on-screen credit for his appearance. As Director Winrich Kolbe explained, "He wanted to do the show. He did it for his children, because they loved the show. It was not done for money or exposure." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p.78) Indeed Kolbe had a lot of respect for Langella as an actor, recalling, "He scared the shit out of me. There's a mythology around him. He's a tremendous actor and he's got those dark brown eyes that seem to strip you bare of anything that you're wearing emotionally or literally. When he popped up on the first bit, and I know exactly what it was (it was the side entrance to the air lock that leads to the cargo bay), we started rehearsing, and I figured, 'This guy could be trouble', because there's something in him that tells you, 'Watch that guy. If you tell him what to do, he might just tell you to fuck off'. But he didn't. He was terrific. We talked about what he wanted to do. We're not talking about any very deep characterization here. There wasn't much there, and I figured whatever he brings to it, unless he's way out of the ballpark, can be handled. He's so good as an actor that you can't go wrong with him. And it was always, 'Would it be alright if I would be on this side?...' His instincts were perfect, and he didn't punch it in. He didn't say, 'I'm going to stop here and I don't care where you wind up with the camera,' which sometimes happens and you have to pedal really fast. He was also very shy. He didn't even want to announce that his last shot was done. He had said, 'Once we shoot the last shot, please don't say, 'This is the last shot for Frank Langella.' He just faded away." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p.62) Producer Ira Steven Behr was delighted that Langella was chosen to play Jaro, stating he was, "a lot of fun to write for. Seeing [Louise] Fletcher and Langella together was great." In a 2011 interview with StarTrek.com, Behr recalled that he was, "very psyched when Frank Langella came on. I was psyched that we got Frank Langella to do three episodes." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p.78; [3]) Similarly, actress Louise Fletcher recalled, "I liked that show very much, and I enjoyed working with Frank Langella. I got a very lovely note from Frank, saying how much he enjoyed working with me." [4] Star Trek author Keith R.A. DeCandido thought Langella, "sells Jaro as an understandable (if not sympathetic) character. As Krim says at one point, 'We’re all patriots, Commander,' and Jaro truly believes he’s doing what’s best for Bajor. What he doesn’t sell, because the script won’t let him, is why so clever a character can’t see the long-term implications of kicking the Federation out. Even if the Cardassians weren’t the ones arming the Circle, their goals still play right into the Cardassians’ hands, as tossing Starfleet paves the way for Cardassia to come back and claim the wormhole (which is probably a much bigger prize to them than a planet they already abandoned)." [5] ApocryphaEdit In the Star Trek: Terok Nor novels Day of the Vipers and Dawn of the Eagles, Jaro serves as a major in the Bajoran Militia in the year 2318, and is later present for the official first contact between his people and the Cardassians, which eventually leads to the Occupation of Bajor a decade later. When a group of aliens plan to destroy Bajor in the novel Objective: Bajor, Jaro lends his assistance to Bajoran First Minister Shakaar Edon. This takes place in the year 2372. The Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine story Fragments and Omens reveals Jaro was forced out of office following the events of "The Siege" and imprisoned at Kran-Tobal prison where he remains until at least 2376. Jaro's mirror universe counterpart is featured prominently in the novel The Soul Key, set in the year 2377. The novel depicts him as one of the leaders of the Bajoran dissident movement against the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance as well as Winn Adami's husband.

Solid Waste: State and Federal Efforts to Manage Nonhazardous Waste RCED-95-3: Published: Feb 2, 1995. Publicly Released: Mar 6, 1995. Additional Materials: Contact: Office of Public Affairs (202) 512-4800 [email protected] Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed state and federal efforts to manage municipal, commercial, and industrial solid waste, focusing on: (1) how states are addressing the rising costs of solid waste management and public opposition to solid waste facilities; and (2) the federal role in addressing solid waste management issues. GAO found that: (1) as of December 1994, 46 states had developed or were developing solid waste management plans to address diminishing disposal capacity, the rising costs of solid waste management, and public opposition to new disposal sites in local communities; (2) the eight state plans reviewed propose options for managing solid waste and alternative financing mechanisms to support local recycling programs and landfill closings; (3) states have used special fees and taxes to finance 74 percent of their solid waste programs; (4) although local opposition to solid waste management facilities has delayed site selection and construction, two of the eight plans contain procedures for selecting waste management sites; (5) some state officials and industry experts believe that the federal government should assist in developing national source reduction goals, setting packaging and recovered material standards, developing markets for recyclable materials, and ensuring sufficient disposal capacity; (6) although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports state source reduction and recycling efforts, it does not plan to enforce its 1992 municipal solid waste agenda or believe that it should lead recycling or source reduction activities; (7) although EPA projects that recycling rates of 25 to 35 percent may be achieved by the year 2000, additional advances may have to be made to achieve these rates; and (8) although legislation has been proposed authorizing states to restrict the interstate and intrastate shipment of solid waste, sufficient data do not exist to determine the impact of this authority on the solid waste management industry.

# Solid Waste: State and Federal Efforts to Manage Nonhazardous Waste **Report:** RCED-95-3 **Published:** February 2, 1995 **Publicly Released:** March 6, 1995 ## Contact Information Office of Public Affairs Phone: (202) 512-4800 Email: [email protected] ## Summary Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed state and federal efforts to manage municipal, commercial, and industrial solid waste, focusing on: 1. How states are addressing the rising costs of solid waste management and public opposition to solid waste facilities. 2. The federal role in addressing solid waste management issues. ## Key Findings 1. As of December 1994, 46 states had developed or were developing solid waste management plans to address diminishing disposal capacity, rising costs, and public opposition to new disposal sites. 2. The eight state plans reviewed propose options for managing solid waste and alternative financing mechanisms to support local recycling programs and landfill closings. 3. States have used special fees and taxes to finance 74 percent of their solid waste programs. 4. Although local opposition to solid waste management facilities has delayed site selection and construction, two of the eight plans contain procedures for selecting waste management sites. 5. Some state officials and industry experts believe the federal government should assist in: - Developing national source reduction goals. - Setting packaging and recovered material standards. - Developing markets for recyclable materials. - Ensuring sufficient disposal capacity. 6. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports state source reduction and recycling efforts but does not plan to enforce its 1992 municipal solid waste agenda or lead recycling or source reduction activities. 7. EPA projects recycling rates of 25 to 35 percent may be achieved by the year 2000, but additional advances may be necessary. 8. Although legislation has been proposed authorizing states to restrict interstate and intrastate shipment of solid waste, sufficient data do not exist to determine the impact of this authority on the solid waste management industry.

Me and my friend :icondarkmoonwanted: are about to attempt Lelianna and Morrigan. Any tips? **Xavietta** (May 22, 2012) Aw, thanks ^^ Tips, tips, tips...I don't even know where to start lol Don't make your own boots from scratch, it's more trouble than it's worth. And always make practice pieces BEFORE cutting your leather because cardstock is much much cheaper. **DsDarken** (May 22, 2012) Do you buy your leather locally or from a specific provider? I know leather is expensive now from my SCA friends. **Xavietta** (May 22, 2012) I get it mostly from Tandy Leather and hidehouse.com. It's pricey compared to the fake stuff, but well worth it since it'll last forever with proper care. It looks nicer too, in my opinion. **edwards1206** (May 19, 2012) Where did you learn to make costumes? I want to make costumes too and any advice you can help on getting me into the field would be appreciated. Also your costume is amazing.

News | Business | People | Internet Watch News Morse Code Knows Where It's @ Feb 19, 2004 – International Morse Code, the nearly forgotten shorthand of early electronic communications, is being updated to 1990s technology. Morse Code was first introduced in 1844 and has seen little change since that time. As the electronic age continues to advance, Morse Code users were finding the need to transmit the "@" symbol. In December, the International Telecommunications Union voted to add the new character. The new sign, which will be known as a commat, consists of the signals for "A" (dot-dash) and "C" (dash-dot-dash-dot), with no space between them. The symbol was selected for use in e-mail addresses in 1972 because it was rarely used but widely available. It's history is not clearly known, but some credit it as being an adaptation of the Latin word ad meaning at, to or toward. The symbol encircles the letter a with the letter d. The symbol was adapted for commerce as a shorthand to mean at the price of. Another possible origin is the flourished style of the letter a to mean amphora, a standard-sized terra cotta jar used in the 14th century. In English, it is commonly referred to as the at sign. In other languages, it carries names related to names of animals, tails and ears. Some examples appear below. • Czech: In the Czech Republic, it is called zavinac, meaning "rollmop," or "pickled herring" • French: In France it is called arobase the name of the symbol. It is also referred to as un a commercial, meaning "business a", a enroule, meaning "coiled a", and sometimes escargot, meaning "snail" or petit escargot, meaning "little snail" • German: In Germany it is called Affenschwanz, meaning "monkey's tail" or Klammeraffe, meaning "hanging monkey" • Greek: In Greece it is called papaki, meaning "little duck" • Norwegian - In Norway it is called either grisehale, meaning "pig's tail" or krollalfa, meaning "curly alpha." • Polish: In Poland it is called malpa, meaning "monkey." It is also called kotek, meaning "little cat" and ucho s'wini, meaning "pig's ear" • Swedish: The official term in Sweden is snabel-a, meaning "trunk-a," or "a with an elephant's trunk" Webcasting Royalties Set by Copyright Office Washington - Feb 18, 2004 - Info from Reuters reports that the U.S. Copyright Office has published the long-awaited royalty rates for Web music broadcasts, bringing to the year-long process to an end. Regulations published on Feb. 6 accepted a resolution reached last April between online music broadcasters and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In addition to setting rates for the 2003-2004 license period, the Copyright Office also named Sound Exchange, formerly an arm of the RIAA that was spun off as a separate nonprofit group in Sept. 2003, as the only designated agent to collect and distribute royalties from webcasters and new online subscription services. The recording industry and webcasters finally agreed on a proposed 0.076 cents per performance or 1.17 cents per aggregate hour tuned in for free, advertising-supported services. Webcasters had opposed other rates the RIAA suggested, saying they would put them out of business. The negotiated rates were submitted to the Copyright Office for adoption on April 14, but a legal objection by one company, dropped last month, led to the delay. Under the new regulations, all covered services are required to submit a lump sum payment to Sound Exchange covering the period from Jan. 1, 2003, through Feb. 29, 2004, on or before April 14, 2004. Starting in March, services are required to make royalty payments within 45 days after the end of each month. Additionally, commercial webcasters, broadcast simulcasters and new subscription services must choose their preferred rate structure by March 8, 2004. SBE Celebrates 40 Years Indianapolis - Feb 18, 2004 - The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) will celebrate its 40th anniversary during the 2004 convention of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in Las Vegas. What started as a gathering of about 100 broadcast engineers at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago during the 1964 NAB Convention, has grown to more than 5,500 members in 107 chapters today. SBE members attending the NAB convention in Las Vegas this spring are invited to celebrate the SBE's 40th anniversary during the SBE Membership Meeting on Tuesday, April 20 at 5 p.m. in room N110 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The first 100 members in attendance will receive a commemorative SBE 40th anniversary memento. There will be door prizes including a digital camera to a lucky winner. The meeting will be sponsored by Microwave Radio Communications. The first official meeting, April 5, 1964, came after several years of discontent over a merger between the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (now the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE). Some felt the merged organizations would not serve the needs of the broadcast engineer well. John Battison, then editor of Broadcast Engineering, wrote an editorial suggesting the time had come to organize a new organization for broadcast engineers. The editorial received a favorable response but no one came forward offering to organize the new group. Finally, Battison decided to do it himself, running an application form in his magazine and, with help from his family, writing letters to more than 5,000 TV and radio engineers in the United States and Canada. Battison's efforts led to an informal meeting in Binghamton, NY, in the latter part of 1963, which led to the first official meeting of the Institute of Broadcast Engineers (IBE) at the NAB convention the following April. The first official business of the organization was to change its name. Those in attendance felt there would be confusion between the new IBE and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and they didn't want their new professional organization to be confused with a labor union. They voted at that first meeting to change the name to the Society of Broadcast Engineers. Battison became the organization's first president. He is still active as a broadcast engineering consultant and writes a regular column that appears in Radio magazine, sister publication to Broadcast Engineering. On the occasion of the SBE's 40th anniversary, Battison reminisced, "The Society of Broadcast Engineers was conceived in my office in Washington, DC, in 1961. It was born in 1964 in The Willard Room C in the Chicago Hilton, courtesy of NAB, and today, on its 40th birthday, it is a strong and hearty force in broadcast engineering thanks to the members who followed after me." Current SBE president, Raymond Benedict remarked, "Since those small beginnings, the SBE has grown in size and stature. In response to industry needs, it has developed the most recognized and accepted certification program for broadcast engineers in the industry, quietly carried on an important volunteer frequency coordination service for the industry and has represented the interests of broadcast engineers with the FCC and other federal agencies. Most SBE chapters offer local members monthly meetings that feature educational presentations on the latest technology and broadcast equipment while providing an opportunity to network with fellow engineers. SBE will continue to provide the professional development services and network of colleagues that broadcast engineers will need in the years to come." For more information about SBE membership, the certification program, chapters and other member services, contact the SBE National Office at 317-846-9000 or visit the website at www.sbe.org. SBE Begins Annual Member Recruitment Effort Indianapolis - Feb 17, 2004 -The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) will conduct its annual membership drive from March 1 through May 31, 2004. Members are urged to invite friends to the party, which is in recognition of the SBE’s 40th anniversary, and bring new members into the society. Though SBE accepts new members all year long, the membership drive is an annual special effort to recruit radio and TV engineers and those in related fields to the organization. Current SBE members can win prizes and discounts on future membership dues by participating. New members will also be entered into a drawing for a valuable prize. Details on the membership drive are available through the SBE National Office. Contact Angel Bates at 317-846-9000 or visit the SBE website at www.sbe.org. SBE has more than 5,500 members in 107 chapters across the United States. There are also members in 30 other countries. Most chapters meet monthly and offer educational programs and an opportunity to network with their peers. SBE also offers the largest and most accepted certification program for broadcast engineers, operators and technicians. Click here to receive the Radio magazine Currents Online Weekly E-mail. Business Digigram Sells Remaining Shares in Audemat-Aztec Montbonnot, France - Feb 17, 2004 - Digigram has sold its 40 percent share in Audemat-Aztec, manufacturer of measurement and monitoring equipment for broadcast applications, to the remaining shareholders of Audemat-Aztec. Digigram made the decision so that it could concentrate on its core interest of providing digital audio solutions for the broadcast and public address markets. Although Audemat-Aztec will continue to develop products using Digigram technology, the commercial and technological overlap with the Audemat-Aztec's product portfolio was not big enough for Digigram to justify its continued minority involvement. Audemat-Aztec was formed Jan. 1, 2003, in a merger between Audemat and Digigram subsidiary Aztec Radiomedia. At the time, Audemat shareholders received 60 percent of the new company with the remaining 40 percent held by Digigram. Digigram will continue to manufacture, support and sell the Hitplayer, a stand-alone appliance for audio IP networks formerly developed by Aztec Radiomedia.

Heat-conducting polymer cools hot electronic devices at 200 degrees Celsius Mar 30, 2014 This scanning electron microscope image shows vertical polythiophene nanofiber arrays grown on a metal substrate. The arrays contained either solid fibers or hollow tubes, depending on the diameter of the pores used to grow them. Credit: Virendra Singh Polymer materials are usually thermal insulators. But by harnessing an electropolymerization process to produce aligned arrays of polymer nanofibers, researchers have developed a thermal interface material able to conduct heat 20 times better than the original polymer. The modified material can reliably operate at temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius. The new thermal interface material could be used to draw heat away from electronic devices in servers, automobiles, high-brightness LEDs and certain mobile devices. The material is fabricated on heat sinks and heat spreaders and adheres well to devices, potentially avoiding the reliability challenges caused by differential expansion in other thermally-conducting . "Thermal management schemes can get more complicated as devices get smaller," said Baratunde Cola, an assistant professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. "A material like this, which could also offer higher reliability, could be attractive for addressing thermal management issues. This material could ultimately allow us to design electronic systems in different ways." The research, which was supported by the National Science Foundation, was reported March 30 in the advance online publication of the journal Nature Nanotechnology. The project involved researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Texas at Austin, and the Raytheon Company. Virendra Singh, a research scientist in the Woodruff School, and Thomas Bougher, a Ph.D. student in the Woodruff School, are the paper's co-first authors. Amorphous polymer materials are poor thermal conductors because their disordered state limits the transfer of heat-conducting phonons. That transfer can be improved by creating aligned crystalline structures in the polymers, but those structures – formed through a fiber drawing processes – can leave the material brittle and easily fractured as devices expand and contract during heating and cooling cycles. The new interface material is produced from a conjugated polymer, polythiophene, in which aligned polymer chains in nanofibers facilitate the transfer of phonons – but without the brittleness associated with crystalline structures, Cola explained. Formation of the nanofibers produces an amorphous material with of up to 4.4 watts per meter Kelvin at room temperature. The material has been tested up to 200 degrees Celsius, a temperature that could make it useful for applications in vehicles. Solder materials have been used for thermal interfaces between chips and heat sinks, but may not be reliable when operated close to their reflow temperatures. "Polymers aren't typically thought of for these applications because they normally degrade at such a low temperature," Cola explained. "But these conjugated polymers are already used in solar cells and electronic devices, and can also work as thermal materials. We are taking advantage of the fact that they have a higher thermal stability because the bonding is stronger than in typical polymers." The structures are grown in a multi-step process that begins with an alumina template containing tiny pores covered by an electrolyte containing monomer precursors. When an electrical potential is applied to the template, electrodes at the base of each pore attract the monomers and begin forming hollow nanofibers. The amount of current applied and the growth time control the length of the fibers and the thickness of their walls, while the pore size controls the diameter. Fiber diameters range from 18 to 300 nanometers, depending on the pore template. After formation of the monomer chains, the nanofibers are cross-linked with an electropolymerization process, and the template removed. The resulting structure can be attached to electronic devices through the application of a liquid such as water or a solvent, which spreads the fibers and creates adhesion through capillary action and van der Waals forces. "With the electrochemical polymerization processing approach that we took, we were able to align the chains of the polymer, and the template appears to prevent the chains from folding into crystals so the material remained amorphous," Cola explained. "Even though our material is amorphous from a crystalline standpoint, the polymer chains are highly aligned – about 40 percent in some of our samples." Though the technique still requires further development and is not fully understood theoretically, Cola believes it could be scaled up for manufacturing and commercialization. The new material could allow reliable thermal interfaces as thin as three microns – compared to as much as 50 to 75 microns with conventional materials.

Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech, and Ph.D. student Tom Bougher, show photoacoustic test equipment used to measure heat conductance of a new polymer material developed for thermal management. Credit: Georgia Tech Photo: Candler Hobbs "There are some challenges with our solution, but the process is inherently scalable in a fashion similar to electroplating," he said. "This material is well known for its other applications, but ours is a different use." Engineers have been searching for an improved thermal interface material that could help remove heat from . The problem of removing heat has worsened as devices have gotten both smaller and more powerful. Rather than pursue materials because of their high thermal conductivity, Cola and his collaborators investigated materials that could provide higher levels of contact in the interface. That's because in some of the best thermal interface materials, less than one percent of the material was actually making contact. "I stopped thinking so much about the thermal conductivity of the materials and started thinking about what kinds of materials make really good contact in an interface," Cola said. He decided to pursue polythiophene materials after reading a paper describing a "gecko foot" application in which the material provided an estimated 80 percent contact. Samples of the material have been tested to 200 degrees Celsius through 80 thermal cycles without any detectable difference in performance. While further work will be necessary to understand the mechanism, Cola believes the robustness results from adhesion of the polymer rather than a bonding. "We can have contact without a permanent bond being formed," he said. "It's not permanent, so it has a built-in stress accommodation. It slides along and lets the stress from thermal cycling relax out." In addition to those already mentioned, co-authors of the paper included Professor Kenneth Sandhage, Research Scientist Ye Cai, Assistant Professor Asegun Henry and graduate assistant Wei Lv of Georgia Tech; Prof. Li Shi, Annie Weathers, Kedong Bi, Micheal T. Pettes and Sally McMenamin in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin; and Daniel P. Resler, Todd Gattuso and David Altman of the Raytheon Company. A patent application has been filed on the material. Cola has formed a startup company, Carbice Nanotechnologies, to commercialize thermal interface technologies. It is a member of Georgia Tech's VentureLab program.

Nearly Half of Chicago's Immigration Service Centers Face Fines in Crackdown Some of the city's 54 service centers accused of dispensing legal advice View Comments ( ) | Email | Print NEWSLETTERS An undercover investigation of immigration services businesses, prompted after citizen complaints, has resulted in several of those businesses facing fines and license revocations. Miguel Campos, an investigator with Chicago's Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, said 24 of the 54 firms doing business as immigration service providers in the city were not in compliance with state and city ordinances that, among other things, strictly prohibits them from dispensing legal advice. "He was giving me illegal advice. He was giving me illegal opinion. He was informing me of what documents I would need to fill out in the future," he said after paying a visit to one firm and posing as a man wanting help with paperwork to bring his girlfriend to Chicago from Mexico. The advice seekers receive may have potentially unintended consequences. The simple filing of the wrong form can be enough to trigger a deportation, explained Mony Ruiz-Velasco, the Legal Director of the National Immigrant Justice Center. "We see it every day," she said. "That's a great harm that come in these cases." Campos returned Wednesday to one of the businesses, Escritorio Public Inc., on the 2200 block of West Cermak Rd., where he found violations. But owner Juan Moondragon insisted he was in compliance with the parts of the city ordinance of which he was aware and pointed to signs in his office indicating that he is not a lawyer. "Well, for one thing I think it's good that they're trying to get people who are passing off as lawyers but also at the same time they're killing the small businesss," Moondragon said when asked of the crackdown. "Basically we just talk to the clients and if they decide to do paperwork, they're fine. We follow up on whatever they say and whatever they want to do." The businesses that were cited face fines and, in the most severe cases, revocation of their business licenses if found guilty.
