- Summary
Designed to fit on top of the Breville Countertop Convection Oven to save valuable counter space, this bamboo cutting board also doubles as a serving tray thanks to its recessed handles. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and absorbs little moisture making it more sanitary than some other hardwoods. Used as a tray it can be taken directly to the table where it can serve as a trivet, protecting the tabletop from heat damage. Silicone feet on the base make it stable when cutting and protect delicate surfaces.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChefBernadette from Love it - should come included with oven Love this board and the fact that it fits nicely on top of oven and comes in very handy. Seems impossible to have the oven without the board, especially as the top gets so hot during use. Board should come standard with the ovenDate published: 2016-10-31Rated 5 out of 5 by rsr from Perfect fit; multiple uses Got this for my daughter's compact smart oven she has in her tiny kitchen in her small house in NC. The board fits the top of the oven perfectly, has depressions on the side for ease of removal to put on countertop to use as cutting board. Allows storage on top of oven without item getting hot.

It adds a space for a useful additional cook in the kitchen. If you're worried about losing counter space by adding the oven, this board is a very smart choice. I agree with the observation that this board makes an amazing oven look more amazing. The feet lift the board off the top of the oven to allow for air circulation to avoid overheating. The board is a wonderful flat surface for anything that is not too heat sensitive to be within an easy and attractive reach while cooking.Date published: 2014-12-12Rated 5 out of 5 by emfinlay from A Cutting Board With Feet! I don't own a Smart Oven. I bought this cutting board for the design. I use my cutting boards constantly and I've had to toss several this year alone due to warping, both wood and bamboo. I was hoping that the feet keeping the board above the surface of the counter allowing air under the board would solve my problems and it seems to be working very well. It's a nice size for everyday use and is often on my counter!Date published: 2013-08-30Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from very nice to have Can't imagine what we did before this, well made, fits perfectly and in our teeny tiny kitchen where we need all the space we can squeeze out of it, this makes a difference. Being able to put stuff on top of the oven is a very good thing! (while it is in use that is, we could put stuff on top before but had to move it to use the oven)Date published: 2013-01-10Rated 5 out of 5 by foodforethought from Excellent Addition! We are very pleased with the board, which sits atop our Breville convection oven high enough to allow the heat to escape. We were mostly concerned about absent mindedly touching the top surface or putting something on there that would melt. This handy board not only prevents that but also can be used as a tray or trivet. As a cutting board, we knew we'd love the knife friendly surface and the quick drying properties of bamboo. Definitely recommend.Date published: 2012-03-08Rated 5 out of 5 by sdzeta from Useful for the Oven Good addition if you want to use the top of the oven for storage.Date published: 2012-02-28Rated 5 out of 5 by JustEnuf from The BEST accent for a perfect oven This product is so versitle. You can use uit as a cutting board beautifully. It is definitely large enough for any task. It serves as a comfortable serving tray, that is good size also and it's perfect pon the top of our wonderful Smart Oven. You really can use this now as another surface for putting dishes etc on and it keeps the heat of the oven away from body exposure. Not that this may be of importance, but it makes a gorgeous oven looks absolutley out of this world. We are so proud to have house guests see this on our counter.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — In Bill O'Brien, Penn State picked a Happy Valley outsider to take over a storied program that had run into turbulent times in the final days of longtime coach Joe Paterno.
One of O'Brien's tasks as the Nittany Lions' first new coach in nearly a half-century will be to win over several former players and alumni who are skeptical about the hiring of a replacement without Penn State ties or angered by the search process triggered by Paterno's firing Nov. 9.
Good luck.
The New England Patriots' offensive coordinator will be formally introduced at a news conference on campus in the Nittany Lion Inn ballroom at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
"I am thrilled to be the head coach of the Penn State football program," the 42-year-old O'Brien said in a statement. "As head coach of this special football program, it is my responsibility to ensure that this program represents the highest level of character, respect and integrity in everything we do."
He said that encompassed coaches, players and anyone else involved in the 125-year-old football program.
"There is tremendous pride in Penn State football and (we) will never, ever take that for granted," O'Brien said.
Former NFL linebacker Brandon Short, now an investment banker in New York, supported interim coach Tom Bradley, citing the longtime assistant's role in helping to maintain the program's high academic standards. He also praised Bradley's ability to guide the team through the crisis that enveloped the program starting two months ago when child sex abuse charges were filed against retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
Short and fellow standout linebacker LaVar Arrington had organized a petition in support of Bradley's candidacy. Before the announcement Friday night of O'Brien's hiring, Short had said he would consider cutting his relationship with the school if someone without Penn State ties was hired, and that there might be a "large backlash" from other former players.
"I guess we'll just have to see how it works out," Short said Friday morning, hours before O'Brien's hiring was made official. "For Penn State's sake — hopefully they end up making the right decision."
Others, including former quarterback Kerry Collins, asked lettermen to give O'Brien a chance.
"Whether you agree or disagree with his hiring, we should support him," Collins said in a statement Friday night, according to the Reading Eagle. "Instead of chastising him for not being a Penn Stater, let's show him what it means to be a Penn Stater. ... Let's support him in any way we can."
Some fickle, fed-up Penn State fans also took to social media to debate O'Brien's resume and qualifications. While instrumental in running the Patriots' prolific offense, O'Brien has never been a head coach.
Now he's replacing Paterno, a Hall of Fame coach who won 409 games, the most in Division I, in 46 seasons on the job. And he'll be taking over a proud program tarnished by a scandal that also led to the departure of President Graham Spanier.
O'Brien and Paterno do share one connection — both attended Brown University.
"I understand Bill O'Brien has been named head coach and I want to congratulate him on his appointment," Paterno said in a statement to The Associated Press provided by his family. "I don't know Bill, but I respect his coaching record, and I am particularly pleased we share a connection to my alma mater, Brown."
"Despite recent commentary to the contrary, Penn State football has always been about more than winning," Paterno added, citing what he said was the program's commitment to education and community service. "I am hopeful this tradition will continue."
This was O'Brien's first year coordinating New England's high-scoring offense, but he has coached star quarterback Tom Brady since 2009 and spent 2008 coaching receivers.
O'Brien recently was in the spotlight when he and Brady got into a heated argument, shown on national television, after Brady threw an interception in the end zone in the fourth quarter of the Patriots' 34-27 win over the Washington Redskins on Dec. 11.
New England closed the regular season on an eight-game winning streak, and scored 513 points, the most in the AFC. Brady threw for 5,235 yards and 39 touchdowns, with just 12 interceptions.
Short had planned to meet with Joyner on Friday in a meeting scheduled before reports began to surface about O'Brien. He said some former players — operating independently of the official Football Letterman Club for football alumni — might consider a lawsuit that would prevent the school from using their likenesses or images.
"The administration is under the belief that if they hire an NFL coach, or someone flashy, that they will fill seats," Short said in phone interview Thursday. "As an NFL player I can tell you that there is a big difference between developing young men and recruiting, then the combine and free agency.
"It's two different universes."
D.J. Dozier, a running back on the 1986 title team, said Thursday that the search committee should have polled current and former players and high school coaches in the region. He planned to sign the petition if more signatures were taken.
"Give that person and that staff a chance. I believe the current staff has done a good job," Dozier said. "Unless there's politics involved, give them a chance."
Penn State ended up going in a different direction.
Prominent donor Anthony Lubrano, a Penn State graduate, questioned the school's hiring process.
"Bill O'Brien might well be a fine football coach and more importantly an even finer human being," Lubrano wrote Friday in an email. "But by excluding the football (lettermen) from the search process, this administration has effectively communicated to them that their contributions to the Penn State family don't matter."
Earlier this week, Tim Sweeney, president of the Football Lettermen Club, promised that the next coach — whether or not he had Penn State ties — would get the support of his group.
"That guy needs to come in here and say 'I have all the former lettermen behind me,'" Sweeney said Thursday. "He needs to know that when he takes that job we're in support of him, regardless of who that guy is.
"Internal or external, it doesn't matter to us."
Penn State hires Bill O'Brien as football coach
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — In Bill O'Brien, Penn State picked a Happy Valley outsider to take over a storied program that had run into turbulent times in the final days of longtime coach Joe Paterno.

One might think having no limbs would put a damper on the love life, but not for snakes. When a female snake is ready to mate, she begins to release a special scent (pheromones) from skin glands on her back. As she goes about her daily routine, she leaves an odor trail as she pushes off resistance points on the ground (See Getting Around). If a sexually mature male catches her scent, he will follow her trail until he finds her. The male snake begins to court the female by bumping his chin on the back of her head and crawling over her. When she is willing, she raises her tail. At that point, he wraps his tail around hers so the bottoms of their tails meet at the cloaca -- the exit point for waste and reproductive fluid. The male inserts his two sex organs, the hemipenes, which then extend and release sperm. Snake sex usually takes under an hour, but it can last as long as a whole day.
Female snakes reproduce about once or twice a year; however, the methods of birth vary among species. Some snakes give birth to live young (from one to 150 at a time), while others lay eggs (from one to 100 at a time); some even combine these methods by holding eggs internally until they hatch, and the babies are born live. For the most part, female snakes do not sit on their eggs like a hen, but in some cases they will protect their eggs (and their young) for a few days after they leave the mother's body.

Yes, Milan Fashion Week is still happening. Can you believe it? So much fashion. Yesterday, Armani presented the fall/winter 2013 collection, which, according to Vogue, was inspired by la garçonne, "that independent female archetype of the thirties whose sense of liberation was reflected in her borrowed-from-the-boys wardrobe." What does this mean? Well, unlike most of the other shows we've seen this season, there were pants. Soft, slouchy trousers, fluid and loose; cozy velvet pants, urging you to ditch your skinny jeans. There were still dresses, of course — some gorgeous options for evening, with dramatic plunging necklines — but the palette was limited to gray, violet, black and white. If you love bright, bold colors and energetic patterns, Armani is not for you.

Disclaimer: this is a hack, an experiment, not a finished application – no guarantees are given and the code is probably pretty horrible. It might max out your computer or break something, so use this at your own risk. Also, be sure to check out the great work of the poeple whose projects/source code I have used and studied to build this. Also, make sure to read the setup instructions before you start.
I have been digging deep into Virtual Earth recently – and the more I play with it, the more excited I get. I am especially intrigued with Virtual Earth 3D and have built a little project that pulls Virtual Earth into a WPF desktop application just to see what can be done with it. Well, I am proud to post this very first version of my little application up here. I have also demo'ed this application at Microsoft events in several countries and it seems that people like it …
In a nutshell, here is what it does:
- Pretty WPF UI.
- Virtual Earth 3D in a WPF application – using this code.
- Control Virtual Earth properties from WPF via WPF data binding and UI.
- Get VE info and bind it to WPF UI elements.
- Pull in data into VE (GeoRSS, KML, Live collections, plain XML, Wikipedia, Flickr).
- Control VE with a WIIMote (WIIMote acceleration sensors) – using Brian Peeks WIIMoteLib.
- Control VE with the WII Balance Board – using Brian Peeks WIIMoteLib.
- Win32 > WPF interop for mouse and keyboard.
All in all it is a pretty cool project but since I am not a developer undoubtedly there is a lot of crappy spaghetti code in there. I wrote it for a demo as an experiment. Anyways, if somebody has some comments, hints or can use this code, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I am planning to turn this app into a series of WPF tutorials soon. In the meantime, here are the setup instructions (very important to follow those, otherwise it won't work correctly or even start!), here is the executable (for Windows) and here is the source code. If you want to know what you can do with this app, read this quick intro document first.

BOULDER, CO - October 1, 2008
Webroot, a leading provider of security solutions for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, today announced that it has detected a new technique being used by hackers to lure PC users to fake blog sites containing malware.
"For the first time, hackers are capitalizing on the top news stories from Google Trends Labs, which lists the day's most frequently searched topics, which can include news of the Wall St. bail out or the presidential campaign," said Paul Piccard, director of Threat Research, Webroot. "These highly relevant news stories and videos are being posted to the hackers' fake blogs to increase the site's Google search rankings."
These fraudulent blogs contain several video links about the news story for which the users were originally searching. Once a user clicks on one of the video links, they are prompted to download a video codec that downloads a rogue antispyware program designed to goad the user into purchasing an illegitimate program that may put their personal information and data at even greater risk.
"Placing malware in video links on fake blogs is not a novel approach," explained Paul Lipman, Webroot's senior vice president and general manager of Consumer Business. "However, the fact that these hackers are now manipulating Google's methods for relevance to increase the ranking of these sites is new and greatly increases the number of people exposed to this threat."
Webroot recommends several steps to users to prevent this type of malware attack:
- Always have a current version of antispyware, antivirus and firewall product;
- Never download free product or purchase them from unknown Web sites and vendors, or peer to peer networks;
- Download videos and other multimedia files only from known and trusted Web sites or blogs;
- Make sure the computer is up-to-date by always installing the latest Microsoft or Apple security updates; and,
- Use a credit card that has sufficient fraud protection when shopping and never use a debit card online.

Post subject: MCAT Flashcards
Hi Guys,
I am sitting GAMSAT this year (2010) and I was wondering whether anyone has bought the MCAT Gold Standard Flashcards? I was reading somewhere they are recommended.
I would appreciate it if anyone can answer these questions.
Do they help? Are they relevant to GAMSAT? Is there any other GAMSAT flashcards I can use?
Thanks so much!

Post subject: About the Gold Standard MCAT Flashcards
Hi there
The flashcards are really focusing on reviewing all the most important science subjects covered by the GAMSAT but it does not really cover the other sections. There is however few cards about the strategies for Verbal Reasoning and the Writing Sample, but by far that is not the focus of these flashcards. It will help you to review all the top level information with dozens of illustrations and diagrams. It could be carried and play games with friends easily.
For the other sections, it is best to get the all the practice materials from ACER.
Hope it is helpful. Good luck with your study.

Uncrowded diving on virgin reefs, with well over a dozen world class sites with an enormous variety for divers of all levels. All these wonderful sites are within five to thirty minutes by boat from the resort. Visibility rarely goes below 30 metres and there is a fantastic variety of fish and coral.
The Great Astrolabe Reef offers a huge variety of fish life and an equally diverse range of both hard and soft corals. Astrolabe is the third largest reef in the world yet possibly the most unexplored.
True 'Virgin Diving' is a term often flaunted but is the best way to describe the diving from Matava. There are whole segments of the Astrolabe reef no one has ever dived or even seen; it is all just waiting to be explored.

AMERICUS – The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team played in their last regular season home game for the 2013-14 season against Peach Belt Conference opponent Clayton State on Saturday afternoon in an overtime battle, finishing with the Lakers leading by four at the final buzzer, 74-70.
GSW lost its third-straight game and dropped to 18-9 overall and 10-8 in the PBC. Despite the loss, the Hurricanes remain the No. 2 seed in the PBC Tournament out of the West Division. Clayton State, still in the hunt for a birth in the tourney, improved to 10-14 overall and 6-11 in PBC play.
The score was close throughtout the first half as the two sides were tied five times and the lead changed hands on seven occasions. GSW enjoyed the largest lead of the opening period by either team when Alan Arnett made a layup to put the Hurricanes ahead 17-11 with 10:14 remaining before the break.
Clayton State managed to eventually regain the lead, 22-21, off an Omari Murray jumper at the 3:57 mark. The Lakers went into the intermission up 26-25.
The first seven-plus minutes of the second half were not kind to the Hurricanes as GSW was outscored 17-2 and trailed 43-27 with 12:04 remaining. Rather than pack it in and call it a day, GSW began to claw its way back into the ballgame. The Hurricanes answered with 13 unanswered points, eight of which came from Daryl Davis and trailed 43-40 with 8:04 on the clock.
Southwestern had come all the way back from 16 down when Davis drained a 3-pointer with 3:35 left in the second half to put the Hurricanes back on top, 53-51.
In the closing minute of regulation Kelsey Terry tipped in a basket for Clayton State and Sidarius Henry followed with a pair of free throws to put GSW down by three with 37 seconds left. On the ensuing possession, Johathan Brooks wasted no time draining a 3-pointer to even the game at 60-60. Brooks and Jamon Hawkins thwarted the Lakers attempts to move the ball up the floor and the horn sounded without a shot attempt from the visitors.
Seniors Adrian Knight, Hawkins, Brooks, Davis and Arnett stayed in the game from the 5:14 mark in the second half when Davis checked into the game for Josh Birchfield until the 3:10 in overtime when Kevin Burnell came in for Knight.
The course of overtime seemed as though the game would go into a second overtime, until leading scorer Davis was sent to the bench early with five fouls with 1:22 on the clock. The game was narrowing to a finish with five total sets of free throws by both sides. Birchfield and Burnell made their free throws bringing GSW within two points of Clayton State. In the final seconds, Charles Shedrick sealed the Lakers upset victory with a dunk.
Davis poured in a game-high 25 points to lead GSW. Brooks notched a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, added four blocks and dished out four assists. Arnett chipped in 10 points and eight rebounds. Hawkins contributed seven points and five rebounds. Knight added five points.
Shedrick led Clayton State with 18 points. Murray posted a double-double with 17 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Henry added 14 points and seven boards.
Southwestern had six seniors recognized for their years of commitment and hard work to the GSW basketball program. Seniors Knight, Davis, Hawkins, Brooks, Arnett, and Derrick Dawkins were given plaques of their accomplishments in a presentation in front of the home crowd before tipoff.
In addition, the Storm Dome was decked out in pink accessories for the Zeta Tau Alpha Brest Cancer awareness in an annual Pink Day game. Raffle tickets were sold throughout the women's and men's game to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation.
The Hurricanes wrap up the regular season on March 1 at North Georgia. Tipoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Compression of files is a necessity these days. It's not only helps you in saving your space but also helps you in quick sharing and back up purposes. Text files compresses more than the web images and videos because they are already in the compressed form .You must have observed many open source softwares in the .tar.gz packages. These are the compressed file made out using the tar and gzip (gunzip) utility. So let's get started with these great utilities 😀
Tar : Good practice for compressing a file is to archive the files first and then compress them. So to create an archive of a disk archive that contains a group of files or an entire directory , we should use the tar utility. Another advantage of the tar is that it also compresses the file to some extent. So using tar with gzip means double layer compression. To use the tar we should need to know some of its options:
-c : Create an archive
-x : Extract from the archive
-t : Display the files in archive
-f : Specify the archive named as arch
Create the archive : You can create the archive by following the syntax tar -cvf file.tar file1 file2 . For Example- We created an archive named as html.tar for the html folder by using the command tar -cvf html.tar html . As I told you above tar compresses the file also. You can easily see this in the below screenshot :
Extracting files from tar archive : You can extract the files for tar archive using the '-x' utility. Follow this syntax and your file will get extracted tar -xvf file.tar
Gzip or Gunzip : Using this utility on the tar archive file adds an another layer of compression. As a result of both you got the .tar.gz file format. Challenger of the gzip is the bzip2 utility because it compresses the file in the greater ratio. But bzip2 is a slow compression process. So it depends on your needs which utility to use.
Compress using gzip : You can compress with the gzip using the simple syntax of gzip filename . We are compressing the html.tar archive further using the gzip . You can also use the ordinary files in the filename instead of the archive. We can see the compression ratio by using '-l' option along with this utility. Below is the screenshot of the same :
Extracting the gzip compression : You can easily extract the gzip utility by using either the "gunzip" command or by using the '-d' option with the gzip. In short you need to follow the following syntax : gzip -d filename.gz or gunzip filename.gz.
I hope this tutorial will be useful for you. Suggestions,feedback and queries are always welcome.

Best Oscar black: Carey Mulligan
It was Prada and it was perfect. And the styling, the earrings, the clutch, her hair, it was perfect. Truth: am not feeling the shoes. The dress was so ornate, something simpler on the bottom seemed more appropriate. Having said that, they're not totally objectionable upon closer inspection. And the thing about Carey, as Duana noted earlier, is that she was genuinely thrilled to be there.
At the conclusion of award season, and with nothing to lose, having already won a BAFTA, acknowledged at home for her work, it was like Carey was finally able to shake it all off. Her expressions last night were delightful, her unbridled awe at the momentousness of the occasion was evident to everyone. She was like we would be: wide eyed and open, like she needed to be pinched all the way down the carpet, to remind her that this was real.
Carey has been captivating all season. We will hear more from her. And soon. She's co-starring with Keira Knightley in Never Let Me Go. And that Wall Street movie with the sh-tty title. And she's not hurting for scripts either. There will be another appearance by Carey Mulligan at the Oscars. So for those who've written expressing outrage that she wasn't honoured for An Education, no doubt, she will be back. And there are better things ahead.

Cold War Civil Rights 2.0

Thanks for the heads up Prof. Dudziak. This book is on my comprehensive exam list so I'll be sure to check out the new edition!

Best of luck! The preface takes up the slipperiness of the Cold War in works on the Cold War and civil rights. Many writers take up the Cold War's impact, as if they are talking about the same thing, but there are several variations (the Cold War as domestic anticommunism, the Cold War as geopolitics, the Cold War as a time period, the Cold War as a climate system -- as in "Cold War climate," etc.). More on this theme in the next book, but by then you'll have passed your comps!

Thank you for your well wishes and that follow-up explanation. I'm more of a 19th century American historian but my recent exposure to the Cold War has left me with a new appreciation of its expansiveness and importance. I have two large sections of readings titled Cold War Culture and Cold War Politics, the latter incorporating both foreign and domestic politics, including civil rights.So perhaps I should start with this Preface to help me think about the concept with a bit more clarity. I'm learning quickly that the way I group my readings influences how I think about them and the way the historiography fits together.

The Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI) Steel Bridge Task Force and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Technical Committee for Structural Steel Design have named Yoni Adonyi, Ph.D., P.E., as the recipient of the 2012 Richard S. Fountain Award.
Dr. Adonyi is professor, Omer Blodgett Chair of Welding and Materials Joining Engineering and MJE program coordinator at LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas.
Named for the founder of the Steel Bridge Task Force, the Richard S. Fountain Award recognizes leadership in steel bridge research and outstanding efforts to advance AASHTO specifications. Dr. Adonyi received the award at the meeting of the Steel Bridge Task Force, which was held on August 9, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. The award was presented by Alex Wilson, Chairman of SMDI's Steel Bridge Task Force and Manager of Customer Technical Services for ArcelorMittal USA; and Gregory R. Perfetti, Chairman of the AASHTO T-14 Steel Bridge Structures Committee and State Bridge Design Engineer, Structure Design Unit, North Carolina Department of Transportation.
"It is my great pleasure to present this award to Yoni Adonyi, who has led our industry's research efforts for the past 20 years to develop new technologies and best practices for the welding of High-Performance Steel (HPS) for bridges," Wilson said. "Yoni has served as program director for all of the 20 welding research projects that were implemented from 1996-2012. As a member of SMDI's Welding Advisory Group, he was also instrumental in providing timely technology transfer to the bridge construction industry, which was critical to ensuring that HPS was included in the bridge codes for AASHTO and the American Welding Society."
The High-Performance Steel for bridges program was established through a partnership of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), the U.S. Navy (Carderock Division - Naval Surface Warfare Center), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 1992 with the goal of developing new and improved steel alternatives for bridges. The partnership comprised professionals in steel production, bridge design, bridge fabrication and welding. The result of their efforts was the development of High-Performance Steel, which provides up to 18% cost savings and up to 28% weight savings when compared with traditional steel bridge design materials. Today, there are more than 400 HPS bridges in service in 43 states.
The program maintains a Welding Advisory Group to oversee the development of new welding technologies and practices and to introduce these new advancements to the bridge construction industry. Dr. Adonyi is an active participant of this group.
LeTourneau University is one of two ABET-accredited Welding/Materials Joining Engineering programs in the United States. Its 10,000-square-foot Materials Joining Lab is the largest stand-alone facility in the United States. Dr. Adonyi is currently focusing his research on the solid-state weldability of HPS for bridges, which includes Friction Stir Welding and High-Frequency Welding hybrid process development, among other interests. He is co-author of a Patent on the joining of mandrel bar for seamless pipe production, and has contributed his expertise to several books, journals and articles.
He is a member of the American Welding Society and a principal reviewer on its Technical Papers Committee, where he was also vice chair from 2002-2005. He is a Professional Engineer in the State of Texas. Before joining LeTourneau University, Dr. Adonyi worked for more than seven years on weldability support for plate, tubular and sheet projects for United States Steel Corporation. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The Ohio State University and his B.S. degree from Timisoara Polytechnical Institute.
The Richard S. Fountain Award was established in 2001. Past recipients of the award include:
Ahmad M. Itani, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., F. ASCE, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno (2011)
John M. Kulicki, Ph.D., P.E., chairman and CEO of Modjeski and Masters, Inc. (2009)
William J. Wright, Ph.D., P.E., Team Leader for Bridge Design and Construction Research, Office of Infrastructure R&D at the Federal Highway Administration's Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (2008)
Donald W. White, Ph.D., Professor of Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials at the Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (2007)
Dean C. Krouse, Independent Consulting Metallurgical Engineer (2006)
Dennis R. Mertz, Associate Professor, University of Delaware (2005)
Camille Rubeiz, former Director of Transportation and Infrastructure, AISI (2003)
Professor Karl Frank, University of Texas at Austin (2002), and
Mike Grubb, BSDI Ltd. (2001)
SMDI's Steel Bridge Task Force was formed more than 40 years ago to coordinate research that establishes safe, cost-effective steel bridges and to implement these developments into steel bridge design codes, specifically the AASHTO design codes. Its members include steel producers, steel fabricators, the AASHTO Technical Committee for Structural Steel Design, university faculty, consultants and representatives from the Federal Highway Administration and National Steel Bridge Alliance.
The Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), a business unit of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), grows and maintains the use of steel through strategies that promote cost-effective solutions in the automotive, construction and container markets, as well as for new-growth opportunities in non-traditional steel markets. SMDI's Steel Bridge program is conducted under the Construction Market Council, whose investor companies include:
· AK Steel Corporation

Applying to graduate school isn't like applying to college. There are fewer applicants with which to compete, but there are fewer programs as well, and so admission to most programs remains highly competitive. Your application needs to be compelling and unique to you, but with goals for your career clearly articulated. Just how you accomplish this will vary based on the field to which you are applying. It may be communicated through tightly written essays and short answer responses, top notch test scores, demonstration of research or teaching credentials, and in the careful selection of schools and professors that closely match your interest area. In short, applicants to graduate school are most often admitted when admissions committees have a clear sense that a graduate degree is an essential part of the applicant's career, and that their goals sync with what the program can provide. They need to be able to picture the applicant as a prospective colleague who will thrive in their field.
- HOWTO: Get Into Grad School for Science, Engineering, Math and Computer Science
In this extensive guide, Professor Matt Might, Presidential Scholar and Professor at the University of Utah, lays out in clear terms just what graduate schools in the disciplines of Science, Engineering, Math and Computer Science are looking for. (Hint: research, research and more research). He offers tips for gathering relevant recommendations and writing the right kind of personal essays, as well as ten general tips that provide insight into just what admissions committees are looking for. He helpfully links to other resources for further research, examples, a list of what not to do, and even next steps in the event of rejection.
- MLA: Advice to Graduate Students: From Application to Career
The Modern Languages Association (MLA) is the leading association for professionals devoted to the languages and literature, and therefore is an excellent resource for students seeking graduate programs in the Humanities. This page takes applicants through the process of finding an ideal degree program, setting personal expectations both in terms of the program itself and in terms of employment and financial assistance, and preparing for careers in the field.
- Advice for Those Interested in English Graduate School
The MLA resource is best paired with this extensive guide to getting into English PhD programs (tips are applicable across the Humanities) from Linda Troost, Professor and Chair of the Department of English at Washington and Jefferson College. The guide provides an excellent introduction to MA programs and doctoral degrees, as well as insider tips for mastering the application and GREs, getting in, and flourishing. Troost also provides a number of resources for deeper exploration.
- How to Get Into Business School
With more students applying to MBA programs than ever before, Matt Symonds, a former Director of Admissions at the prestigious Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, provides a look at the numbers as well as numerous tips for beating out the competition. Notably, Symonds drives home the importance of the personal essay as a means of standing out.
- APA: Applying to Graduate School
The American Psychological Association (APA) is to the field of psychology what the MLA is to the Humanities. The "Applying to Graduate School" site is a one-stop shop for every resource potential graduate students need, whether you have your heart set on a PsyD, LMHC, PhD or any one of the many higher degrees within this field. You'll find an excellent quiz that will help you examine your motivations, frequently asked questions, an application timeline, dos and don'ts, and so much more.
- The AAMC Website
There are numerous helpful application tips for medical school applicants available on the Association of American Medical Colleges website. These extensive tips for the application itself are great to use as a roadmap, helping to ensure you don't miss a requirement. The "Ask an Expert" section runs a little deeper, sourcing answers to real applicant questions from medical professionals who have sat on many admissions committees. Two particularly useful sub-resources are Creating a Winning Application and Preparing for the Interview.
- Getting Into Law School
The comprehensive tips included in this 28-page guide put out by the University of Southern California (USC) are cogent and detailed, covering everything from the LSATs to personal statements, resumes and letters of recommendation. Guidance is offered for transfer students, and deeper explanations are provided on the importance of first year grades, proper formatting for the application, interpreting popular rankings, acing the interview, and determining whether or not to wait before applying.
- Grad School Tips
For more general grad school admissions tips, we highly recommend this resource from Matt Welsh, former Professor of Computer Science at Harvard and current software engineer at Google. This presentation is an honest look at the utility of higher degrees, as well as an overview of the process and a look at what students should expect to encounter. But perhaps most useful is the section entitled, "Professor's Point of View," as it provides an inside look into what admissions committees are actually looking for.
- Graduate School: Getting It All Paid For
Accounting for your graduate school finances starts before you've even been admitted. Not only should you determine whether or not you (and your family) can live on a reduced budget, but you also must apply for grants, fellowships and outside financial aid along with your overall applications. This resource out of Saint Louis University provides insight into the types of funding possible (hint: there are more kinds than you think) and lists a vast array of sites and databases where you can begin your search. It's a crucial stop on your application journey because, as the PDF indicates, there are plenty of opportunities for gaining funding; you just have to find them.

The beloved brand of tradesmen of every stripe, Detroit-based Carhartt has been synonymous with durable, long-lasting yet reasonably priced workwear for generations. Its latest Woodward Traditional Jacket is that rare clothing item that's rugged enough to satisfy even the burliest ironworker, yet would be comfortably at home in truly any guy's closet – without feeling like a stupid, ironic pose.
The Woodward is made from so-called Quick Duck – a 60-40 cotton polyester blend canvas fabric – which has all the durability of the original duck canvas that helped make Carhartt a brand, while still being 30-percent lighter. It also boasts a water repellent finish just like its forebear, only it dries in half the time – all while offering increased mobility. The inside is lined with a smooth, quilted nylon, and includes a zipped internal pocket as well as a rubber-lined media port, for threading earphones inside your coat instead of having the cord snag on everything. The Woodward is available in three colors, but our favorite is the graphite-y black, which pairs as easily with jeans as with khakis and everything in between. If only the rest of our clothes were so versatile (and affordable). [$130; carhartt.com]
