Vermont Legislature Could Pick Next Governor

Vermont's 2014 gubernatorial election appears headed for a decision in 2015, with incumbent Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin holding a narrow lead overRepublican Scott Milne but not the majority needed to keep the decision from going to the Legislature.

With all but a handful of precincts reporting early Wednesday, Shumlin had won about 47 percent of the vote. Milne had about 45 percent, with five other candidates accounting for the balance.

Under Vermont's Constitution, if no candidate for governor, lieutenant governor or treasurer gets an outright majority, the election goes to the Legislature. Democrats are expected to maintain control of both houses, but the Legislature nearly always chooses the plurality winner in a gubernatorial election — the last time it didn't was in 1853.

Precious metal catalysts are also termed "noble metal catalysts", showing unique characteristics in our lives. They possess an incompletely filled d-orbital to lend electrons or withdraw electrons from the reagent, depending on the nature of the reaction. Hence, precious metals always show high activity and selectivity in catalysis. Apart from this, precious metal catalysts are also stable and are not easily form oxides by oxidation. Not only high activity but also high thermal stability of precious metal catalysts allows us to use precious metal catalysts for wide range of applications, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, petrochemicals, chemicals, environment and material sciences.
