Accessions and Openings for the 2nd quarter FY 2010
Washington, DC, Area
The 2nd quarter for the Records Accessioning and Control Team was dominated by the annual "P" move of records from the Washington National Records Center; 20,531 cubic feet were added to the permanent holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration as a result of this year's annual move. Beginning in early February, the team began the move by coordinating the shipment of 6,545 cubic feet of materials, mostly from RG 307, directly to offsite storage in Lenexa, KS. The remaining 13,986 cubic feet of records began moving from the Washington National Record Center to College Park on February 23, 2010. The move was completed on March 18, 2010.
Also during the 2nd quarter of FY 2010, the Records Accessioning and Control Team accessioned 2,814 cubic feet of records under 65 SF-258s as either agency direct offers or late transfers from the Washington National Records Center; 921 cubic feet of this total came in as direct offers from various agencies under 30 individual SF-258s. The remaining 1,993 cubic feet of records came in as late transfers from WNRC, under 35 individual SF-258s. Included among these direct offers are approximately 80 cubic feet of NARA records. Among other things, these records include Archivist and Deputy Archivist Program and Policy Records during the administration of Archivist Don Wilson.
During the 2nd quarter, the Records Accessioning and Control Team completed and closed out 17 of the direct offer jobs for a total 463 cubic feet. At the end of the quarter, 13 of the direct offer jobs remained to be closed out amounting to a total of 458 cubic feet of records. The team also completed and closed out 26 of the late transfer jobs for a total of 1,157 cubic feet. At the end of the quarter, 9 of the late transfer jobs remain to be closed out amounting to a total of 736 cubic feet records.
The Records Accessioning and Control Team also received as additional 92 SF-258s for either late transfers or direct offers from agencies totaling 1,996 cubic feet of records. As the quarter closed, these jobs were approved, but the records had not been shipped to College Park.
Members of the Records Accessioning and Control Team continue to participate in the planning of the Accessioning functions of the Electronic Records Archives (ERA). As part of the 2010 P move, we accepted approved Transfer Requests (TRs) for 38 cubic feet of records from Patents and Trademark Office (RG 241) and from the records of the National Archives and Records Administration (RG 64).
During the 2nd quarter, team members with SCI security clearances continued to support record center activities by pulling and refiling records holding SCI classifications. During the first two months of the quarter, staff pulled and refilled materials to support the ongoing declassification review work of the State Department. In addition, they facilitated the temporary transfer of 119 cubic feet of Department of Justice SCI materials for center storage. We also took in 10 cubic feet of SCI records for the State Department, 77 cubic feet for Central Intelligence Agency and 81 cubic feet of SCI materials for the "FISA" Court for record center storage.

Michael J Fox is what some might call a national treasure. If there's a Canadian celebrity alive today to be proud of, it's him. Putting aside his two decades at the top of both the box office and the TV ratings, his life is still a success story. Not only has he bravely battled a debilitating disease for over twenty years, but he has spun that misfortune into something grand and terrific. Over the years, he has used his fame and wealth to help those in much worse situations than his own, and to bring hope to those who previously had none.
This, however, is a TV show. "The Michael J Fox Show" is Fox's return to primetime TV in a leading role. Now, after seeing his guest turn on "Curb Your Enthusiasm", some may have said it would be impossible to stretch the Parkinson's joke into a full series. That has yet to be seen, but it hasn't stopped them trying. The result isn't as generic or offensive as you might think. In fact, it's pleasantly surprising.
The show follows Mike Henry (Michael J Fox), a former newscaster who left work when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Now, after five years of smothering his family, they're ready for a break. We meet the Henry's as Mike's wife, Annie, conspires to get him back to work. Focus is shared between Mike's return to the TV spotlight that loves him, and the family that can't stand him. All the while sprinkled with your standard dysfunctional family tropes, and a wide range of jokes aimed at Henry's/Fox's illness. Bear with me, please.
"Why can't the meds have cool side effects? Like anything Aquaman does."
The cast is nicely put together. There are three young actors as the Henry children, and while they don't rank up with the "Family Ties" crowd, they're perfectly competent, with pretty good comedic timing. Betsy Brandt is coming strong off her "Breaking Bad" career as Mike's wife Annie. She really shines in the premiere episodes, and brings the same charm (and nagging annoyance) she brought to Marie Schrader. Wendell Pierce rounds out the cast as Mike's boss and oldest friend. Of course, Fox is the star here and he's on top of his game as always.
The comedy is a little unbalanced. The family drama is light and brief, and fortunately doesn't bogart the camera. If more attention was paid to Mike's news coworkers and his chasing down stories, the show might open up some new potential for itself. However, a good chunk of the humour comes from Mike Henry's illness. Parkinson's is used as the setup and punchline for multiple jokes per episode. Impressively, the jokes are varied and actually kind of racy at times (which I like and appreciate). If you're going to ride the line, you might as well dig in and cut deep. No regrets! That said, nothing about the show strikes as distasteful or insulting. Everyone who knows Michael J Fox knows how he feels about his illness, and knows how he feels about having a sense of humour. The show asks you to be open-minded.
"Don't touch my belly. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going upstairs to make love with my shirt on."
The real treat here is obviously seeing Michael J Fox back on TV. His guest appearances in recent years have all been wonderful (and acclaimed), but primetime comedy has missed its leading man for some time. It's good to finally have him back, and in good form. The show may turn off some of the more sensitive viewers, but with some luck, it might just get picked up for another season. We could very well be seeing a full-fledged comeback.
This show doesn't break much new ground. The humour is edgy at times, but always knows when to scale it back. The characters are likable and the stories simple and entertaining. The important thing to remember is that you're watching something that is very personal to the people working on it, and to a lot of people watching. You're being invited into a rather special circle to share some quality time with good people just trying to entertain. And honestly, it's not just okay to laugh. At times, it's pretty damn hard not to.

Jeff Williams Presents DOI with a Review of Army Corps Storm-Surge Modeling
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientist Jeff Williams (Woods Hole, MA) was invited to a Department of the Interior (DOI) meeting held December 14, 2004, to present the results of his review committee's work on a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) storm-surge-modeling effort for the south shore of Long Island. The committee members were contracted by the USACE to assist in reviewing coastal-geology and coastal-engineering data relating to the USACE's renourishment project from Fire Island to Montauk Point, NY, a stretch of coast that includes the National Park Service (NPS) Fire Island National Seashore. Although the official results will be released by the USACE, Jeff agreed to present the results of the review process and the recommendations the committee set forth to the USACE. All of the participants are grateful for the collaborative work between the USGS, the USACE, and the NPS.

Teatime with LoveTea
If there's one thing myself and Sami love, its tea! So when we heard about LoveTea we were more than a little excited to try it out. Basically the concept is similar to the various other monthly box/package subscriptions that are on offer the now except this isn't full of lip-gloss…its full of tea! So we looked out our favourite teapots, grabbed some cakes and agreed to try some out for our very own little Beauty Aesthetic tea party.
Firstly you choose what kind of subscription you'd like there are three to choose from, 'Mini', 'Classic' and 'Tea Lover' (that last one is definitely the one for us). And in every parcel you get one quality tea, a stylish guide and a few other little treats too, and all parcels fit through letterboxes so there's no need to wait around on your parcel arriving. All types of tea are included except herbal, and delivery is completely free! If you are interested in trying it out then you can sign up fromLoveTea.co
We tried out a tea called Jun Chiyabari HIB* which was a lovely black tea that's perfect with a little sugar. My favourite thing was definitely getting to make my own little teabag! The packaging which everything arrives in is very factual and sleek, and you get a very generous amount of tea.
Overall we loved the idea of this, and I shall definitely be looking into joining the Tea Lovers club! This is perfect for anyone who has a love for tea, or even a great gift for a tea lover you may know. Subscriptions start from £4.50 a month and all other prices are available on the LoveTea website.
Whether it's beauty, fragrance or tea these monthly subscriptions are definitely the new craze, who knows what it will be next? Now did I just hear the kettle boil…

Fear not, this isn't a follow up to "No Woman, No Cry" (even though you've just tried to sing "No Gym, No Problem" to the tune in a Jamaican accent). After a few years of weight training at the gym, I decided to start mixing up my training and have been adding high intensity interval training (HIIT). If you spend longer than 5 minutes on social media, it's hard not to hear about HIIT. It's all the rage these days, alongside other current trends like Tamagotchi's and The Corrs. They're both still cool, right?
What is HIIT?
Simply put, HIIT is a form of exercise in which you alternate between intense anaerobic periods (maximum effort) to increase heart rate, and recovery periods to allow your heart rate to return to normal. There's no right or wrong training to rest splits, but if you're a beginner then 30 seconds exercise with 45-60 seconds rest is a good starting point. The beauty of it is that after 15-20 minutes, you're done!
Is HIIT the definitive answer to your body composition prayers? No, it's not – it is, however, a great bit of ammo in your arsenal to help burn fat. The best way to go is to implement an effective training programme alongside a balanced, sustainable diet which allows you to have a healthy relationship with food.
The beauty of HIIT is that you can do it pretty much anywhere. You don't need a gym. You don't necessarily need equipment. You don't need money. You don't need outdoor space. For me, you can't beat training outside. Getting a bit muddy is part of the appeal, but that's probably just the childish side of me – the only downside being now I'm an adult I have to do my own washing.
All you really need is a timer (old school stopwatch or phone), and a bit of space to move around in. That's it.
When performing HIIT, you can either repeat certain exercises, or work through a complete list of different ones. Some of my favourites (I use that term loosely) are:
· Burpees – A killer wherever you do them, and HIIT wouldn't be HIIT without them.
· Pull Ups – Plenty of public parks have these bars dotted around.
· Press Ups – Either standard press ups on the floor, or put your feet on a bench while you're doing them for an alternative.
· Hill Sprints – Sprinting up a hill isn't exactly fun, but it'll get your heart racing
The Workout
Warm up and stretches (don't skip this!): 5 minutes
Work: 40 seconds
Rest: 20 seconds
High knee sprints on the spot or hill sprints
Bodyweight squats
Alternate jump lunges
Press ups
Pull ups
Triceps dips
Mountain climbers
Jump squats

Workers Compensation
Get Started Finding a Local Attorney Now
Simply fill out this form to connect with an Attorney serving your area.
Employee Accidents & Statutory Limits on Workers' Compensation
If an employee accident occurs in the workplace, then the injured employee will likely be eligible for statutory workers' compensation.
Each state has its own statutes regarding workers' compensation. In all states, most employers are required to purchase workers' compensation insurance to cover both their employees and themselves in the event of an accident.
Employee Accident Protection
According to workers' compensation laws, if an employee accident occurs, that employee can file a workers' comp claim with his employer, which will then turn the claim over to the insurance carrier. After some review and investigation of the claim, the carrier will determine whether to grant the employee benefits according to the policy. These benefits can include compensation for medical bills, as well as disability pay.
However, there are some legal limits. Workers' compensation claims must be filed with the employer within a certain amount of time after the employee accident or else the employee may be barred from securing workers' compensation benefits. This time limit varies from state to state, but there is usually a one- to three-month window following the injury in which to file a claim.
In addition, if the carrier denies the claim, the employee can appeal to the proper state agency in charge of workers' comp laws. This agency is often called the workers' comp board.
There is also a statute of limitations, or time limit, placed on how long an employee can wait to file a claim with the agency before the employee is barred from filing the claim at all. This time limit also varies depending on the state in which the accident occurred, but is typically one to three years following the injury.
Also, usually there are no caps placed on how much a workers' comp insurance policy can pay to an employee for injuries, rehabilitation costs, and disability. Often such policies will pay 100 percent of medical cost and rehabilitation costs and up to two-thirds of wages lost due to disability.
Employer Protection
In addition to protecting a worker when an employee accident occurs, workers' comp insurance also protects the employer from litigation. By accepting workers' compensation benefits, the employee gives up the right to file suit against the employer in most circumstances.
If you have any questions regarding your workers' comp statutory limits, you should contact a workers' comp attorney in your state.

Networked Performativity: Systems, Platforms, and Identity
26 May 2013, 18:00 - 20:00
Panelists: Jennifer Chan, Vincent Chevalier, Emilie Gervais, Heather Dewey-Hagborg
Moderator: Michelle Lacombe
This year's edition of Sight & Sound aims to explore black markets in a global sense. While the series of workshops and discussions taking place during the festival more specifically addresses the subject of network hacking – or how to navigate hidden networks. With this in mind, we have invited four artists, whose work challenges traditional ideas of performance, to participate in a discussion on performativity in a networked environment. The discussion, moderated by Michelle Lacombe, will shed light on the role of the artist as performer as well as the act of performance via networked platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. How do artists like Jennifer Chan, Vincent Chevalier, Emilie Gervais and Heather Dewey-Hagborg perform their identity online? How do audiences react to and engage with these artists' performative actions? How are they redefining performance given the variety of mediatized systems at their disposal?

S-o-o… I did the Fresh Start 7-day cleanse and ta-dah! –feeling absolutely refreshed and reset! It's such a good feeling to be relieved of stored up toxins that clog the system and weigh one down after a while –and all of that simply from living a normal, everyday life in our modern-day world!
Kept a huge quantity of raw veggies and fruits of every variety within reach during the week and stuffed raw treats for the day into hubby's lunch for break times at work; drank half my weight in water per day, and got plenty of extra sleep -allowing the excellent cleansing supplements like Shaklee's signature Alfalfa and gentle Herb-lax, to aid the body in performing it's best healing work.
And voila! Although I didn't have a weight-loss goal per se, I lost about two pounds and about 7 inches – in just the right places – and flattened my tummy too! Hubby is a Slim Jim, but he was able to take 5″ off of that awkward "spare tire" that he so despises. (Oh happy day!) Also, maybe it's just the area we live in, but I've noticed having a stuffy nose every night after getting into bed previously, but with the cleanse I've felt my sinuses drain and head clearing, as well as just an overall euphoria of well being!
And here's another added benefit: taste buds are over the moon! This cleansing program allows the sense of taste to balance out so that you actually develop greater sensitivity to healthy i.e. real foods and flavors, while diminishing cravings for artificial sweets and stimulants. That in turn allows the "New You" to control former habits of reaching for and over-indulging in "junk" food and snacks. In my case, although I'm not a big meat eater anyway, after abstaining from meat for a week, I couldn't believe how mouth-watering-ly yummy a simple breast of chicken or salmon steak, dressed only with a dash of salt and olive oil -could be!!! No need to bread the meat or fry in heavy grease. It's wonderful just the way it is!
Now in the follow-up weeks, for dinner instead of loading up on heavy cooked starches, potatoes etc. or salty, sauce -laden side dishes, we're perfectly content to chow down on "the Big Salad" laced with exotic fruit or chunks of avocado or – or just let your imagination go! — and add a generous serving of lean poultry or fish. No gas, indigestion or bloating during the evening or still sitting on your stomach at bedtime to rob you of a restful night's sleep!
If you'd like to learn more, let me hear from you! You can start on your own "Fresh Start" TODAY!

Let's not beat around the bush: money is a big part of your life. Whether you have lots of it or want more of it (as most people do), what you do with your money will have a big impact on your energy and likely your success. Here are three important things that you should do with your money:
- Invest It
If you have money, investing it – even a small percentage of it – can pay off big in the long run. Meet with a financial professional rather than investing haphazardly.
- Donate It
Karma is real, and the more that you give, the more that you'll get in return. There are hundreds of charities out there that are in need of funding to help people in need – give what you can and you will have more positive internal energy.
- Spend It
Spending money (some of it) is just as important as investing it! Spending money aids the economy, and is also how you provide for yourself physically. Spending money on things that you enjoy can also make you feel good too, so do not hesitate to get yourself something special every once in awhile.

When can expect to get one? My first doctor appointment is October 21st. Will I get one there?
When can expect to get one? My first doctor appointment is October 21st. Will I get one there?
I think it's similar in the US. The doctor should be able to do an "early dating" ultrasound around 6 weeks to confirm the pregnancy. (I had mine at 8 weeks, I chose to book later so I could see the heartbeat).
Then there is an optional 12 week NT scan to check for abnormalities. After that is the 20-week anatomy scan 🙂
@Lyndzo: Oh sweet!!! I'll be 8 weeks at my first appointment so I have it done then!
Here we don't get an ultrasound until 19weeks unles we don't know when baby was conceived or have complications!
It's different everywhere…so it's hard to say what your own doctor does.
@eecuadrado: Well, every doctor works very different. You might get one at that first appointment, depending how your doctor feel about it. GL and I hope you get one. I know it can give some piece of mind and it makes all just that much real 🙂
@eecuadrado: Every doctor is different, don't be surprised if your first visit is just a "what to expect" visit that just goes over your pregnancy in general and does bloodwork. If you're curious, give the office a call and ask them. I hope you get an early one!!
In Canada you get one around 12 weeks. and then again at 19-21 weeks for the anatomy scan.
This completely depends on your doctor and how sure you are on your dates. My first pregnancy I had one at 20 weeks and that was it. I had complications with the other 2 so I had ones earlier than that. But if things are going well, not everyone has a dating one, and if you decline the NT scan, it is possible you won't have one until your anatomy scan.
@urchin: Oh noo that's what everyone is saying!
@MrsR4ever: Awww I hope so and I hope you guys get one your visit as well!
You should call and find out. My first appointment included an u/s at 7w 5d, , and they informed me of such when I called to make the appointment. I have friends whose insurance didn't allow one until the 12w scan.
@jny1179: I deff think I will call thanks!!!
@ieatunicorns: Interesting how it's different every where thanks ladies
@eecuadrado: Don't get too excited!
My practice doesn't do confirming ultrasounds for low-risk pregnancies.
I had an optional NT u/s at 13w, then my anatomy scan at 19w.
Now I won't have another one until like 37w!
My 7w appointment was JUST medical information, my 12w was pelvic exam and baby's heartbeat, and 16w was just a check-up.
The topic '1st Ultrasound?' is closed to new replies.

Download (698kB)
In a recent paper the authors introduced an all-Cartesian formulation of a jerk model for tracking highly maneuvering targets. Here a more complex but realistic case is considered, where target motion modeling and tracking are carried out in the 3-D Cartesian frame using measurements obtained in a spherical system. The transformation of the measurements into the Cartesian system results in nonlinear measurement equations. We solve the problem using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) approach, and also treat the earlier acceleration model similarly for comparison of results.

Koalas are really adorable for eyes and almost everyone acknowledges it. They have this tendency to hug the trees and there is nothing more pleasing to the eye than that picture. A recent study made in the Melbourne University found out that the Koalas wrap their bodies around the trunk of the tree in order to evade them from over-heating process.
The study was made with the help of radio collars, used to track the koalas. It was a general view that animals are more likely to hug the trees when it's the summer time. It gave more hints to the researchers and they got closer to their conclusion. The researchers also discovered that the temperature on the trunks of the tree was 9 degree Celsius lower than the temperature elsewhere on the ground. Koalas absorb all the cold from the trunk and they can easily sustain that coolness for a long time.
The image of a koala hugging the tree has become very popular among the masses. It is known to be the most adorable animal for its hugging nature, but no one knew that it is because of evading the heat and feel cooler. No one actually knew that hugging a tree helps Koala to survive the heat and stay alive. They can easily avoid heat by hugging the trunk of the tree and sustain that temperature for long, in the hot summers. The researchers in the Melbourne University made use of radio collars in order to record the movement and other thermal changes in the body of koalas.
According to the researchers, the koalas used to sit low under the trees in summer in order to evade the gear and they usually went out to the trunk and hugged it tight. The temperature on the trunk is 9 degree lower than the usual temperature in the air. This process of hugging helped them to transform the heat away from their body and they suffer the danger of dehydration.
According to Natalie Briscoe, who was also a part of the research stated that the koalas can actually preserve half the water they need in order to survive in heat while they hug the tree. The results of the study have pointed out the importance of the trunk of trees in order to keep these adorable animals cooler. Andrew Krockenberger also said that quarter of one population of koalas died in the harsh heat in 2009. Hence, they need to have a trunk to hug in order to feel cooler.
The research concluded that the other tree animals like monkeys, leopards are also likely to hug the trees in order to evade the heat. The average life span of a healthy koala is 16 years. In Australia, there were millions of koalas at some point of time but then the poaching of these koalas started and only a few left in the wild after 1900's. The Australian government has listed Koalas as the rare threatened species now and efforts are being made to improve their living situation and preserve them for good. We all love this pretty animal and hope that this research would aware the people about these bunch of cuties and they start caring about them, eliminating the chance of their extinction.

Sotomayor Will Face Tough Questions, but Road to Confirmation Should be a Smooth One
Sonia Sotomayor will face some tough questions on her path to the Supreme Court, but President Obama's nominee to replace Justice David Souter is likely to sail through her Senate confirmation nonetheless, legal experts said Tuesday.
Constitutional law experts said Sotomayor's confirmation will be met with little resistance from lawmakers -- even from Republican senators and conservative judicial activists.
Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet, who called Sotomayor an "obvious" choice to replace Souter, who is retiring from the Court, said Sotomayor will be grilled by Republican senators who feel obligated to "go through the motions of opposition."
"They have constituents they have to satisfy," Tushnet said.
Among the chief questions facing Sotomayor will be the role of a federal judge, issues of affirmative action and discrimination, the Voting Rights Act and the effect of Sotomayor's judicial philosophy on her rulings on the bench.
Top of that list may be questions on comments Sotomayor made at a Duke University forum in 2005 in which the federal judge said, "The court of appeals is where policy is made."
"The Senate will want to know what she meant by that," said Lori Ringland, constitutional law professor at the University of Georgia School of Law.
"The Senate wants to see how she responds to questions that don't have crystal clear legal answers," Ringland added. "They want to see how she exercises her judgment."
Sotomayor will also face grilling over her role on a three-judge panel that declined to address the constitutional issues at stake in Ricci v. DeStefano, a case involving white firefighters in Connecticut who claim they were denied promotions because of "reverse discrimination." The high court heard the case this season and has yet to issue its ruling.
Tushnet said the case "will be of great concern because it's a significant affirmative action case."
"If the Supreme Court affirms her decision, it will simply go away. If the Supreme Court reverses her decision, it will not," he said.
Jonathan Turley, constitutional law professor at George Washington University Law School, said the case of the firefighters "raised very important and troubling questions" that the panel on which Sotomayor served "dismissed out of hand."
"Many questions were dismissed on a cursory basis -- she didn't actually write an opinion. [The ruling] did not do justice to the claims and, in my view, the litigants," he said.
Past questions asked of Supreme Court nominees have covered a host of controversial topics: the "Living Constitution," the death penalty, domestic surveillance, executive power, cameras in the courtroom, the court's legitimacy if Roe v. Wade is overturned and the use of foreign law as precedent.
Turley claims the "driving force" behind Sotomayor's nomination is her life story. The would-be third woman on the nation's highest court is Puerto Rican, lost her father at age nine, was raised in a Bronx, N.Y., project and was diagnosed at age 8 with childhood diabetes.
He said the question of "intellectual depth" is likely to get the least attention at the hearing.
"I don't believe the body of her work justifies this nomination," Turley said. "I've read about 30 of her most important decisions and they do not suggest someone with a profound understanding of the law. But that does not mean that she will not surprise us."
Robert Bork, who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan for the Supreme Court in 1987 and later denied confirmation, told FOXNews.com that Sotomayor will "face very few tough questions."
"I don't think that Republicans will put up much of a fight. They never have," he said.
Bork suggested that Republicans are likely to back away from tough questions because of the "sympathetic nature of her life experience."
