NASA scientists say Voyager 1 could enter interstellar space anywhere from months to a couple of years from now
NASA's Voyager 1 is traveling through the last leg of its journey before
entering interstellar space
Voyager 1, which was launched into space in 1977 to eventually explore interstellar space and become the most distant human-made object, has reached a region that NASA scientists are calling a magnetic highway. This highway consists of charged particles where the sun's magnetic field lines are connected to interstellar magnetic field lines.
This area is still considered part of our heliosphere, which is a bubble of charged particles around the sun, because the direction of the magnetic field lines has not changed. The direction of these lines will change when Voyager 1 enters interstellar space, and scientists believe the magnetic highway is the last stretch before finally making it to interstellar space.
"Although Voyager 1 still is inside the sun's environment, we now can taste what it's like on the outside because the particles are zipping in and out on this magnetic highway," said Edward Stone, Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. "We believe this is the last leg of our journey to interstellar space. Our best guess is it's likely just a few months to a couple years away. The new region isn't what we expected, but we've come to expect the unexpected from Voyager."
NASA scientists say Voyager 1 could enter interstellar space anywhere from months to a couple of years from now.
In July of this year, Voyager 1 received another clue that it was nearing interstellar space. In studying the bubble of charged particles, it
caught the
fastest rate of change
in two of three signs of changes expected to occur at this particular area. The three signs of changes are the rate in which levels of high-energy cosmic ray particles increase, the rate in which lower-energy particles decrease, and the direction of the magnetic field.
On July 28, levels of high-energy cosmic ray particles originating from outside our solar system increased by 5 percent. In the last half of that same day, lower-energy particles originating from inside our solar system decreased by half. Three days later, all levels returned to normal. This was the fastest rate of change observed so far.
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

Strawberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
Servings/Yield4-6 servings
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread
- 4-oz. cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam or jelly
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- maple syrup, for serving
MethodPlace diced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar to allow the juices to come out. Set aside for at least 10 minutes. Slice bread into 2-inch thick slices. (You should get between 6 and 8 slices.) Cut a slit in each of the thick slices, making a pocket in which to put the filling. For the filling, combine softened cream cheese with strawberry jam and sugared strawberries. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into each bread pocket, spreading it to the corners. For the coating, combine eggs, milk, almond/vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until thoroughly mixed. Coat each side of the bread for about 5-10 seconds, until it has soaked up some of the egg mixture. Preheat a griddle to medium-high heat, and coat it with butter. Cook French toast 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Serve immediately with maple syrup. **Leftovers taste great heated in a 400*F oven for 10-15 minutes.

Car was picked up, repaired and returned within a day.
Fast response, keenly priced, quick to expedite, great job performed by decent guys. No complaints! I will use Auto Solutions again.
Good service. No problems. Job done as agreed and car back promptly and quality job done.Would recommend.
Pleased with the price of of the service. Can have no complaints.
Really impressed by the service. The car required a small bit of work to pass the MOT but the guys got it done with no problems. Picking up the car from the house and delivering it back was just the icing on the cake. Will definitely use them again.
Patrick came to pick the car up, we discussed the repair that the car needed along with a few other things I've noticed. He went away and completed the job in good time, returned the car with no issues. Repair was a good standard and the handling is perfect now, the other issues he checked for free and advised on what may need doing in the future. What more could you ask of your mechanic? I will use Patrick & Automotive Components Specialists in the future, 10/10.
Patrick was upfront and gave honest advice. He arranged to have the car picked up and dropped it off himself. The work was completed quickly and the car is sounding much better now. Thanks!
My local garage was trying to charge me a fortune for A DMF and clutch for my Skoda Octavia .So I thought I'd do some research and ended up on this website .The First person to quote was Patrick and from then on it was a pleasure dealing with him .I never even saw his garage in Enfield ,he picked my car up for free in Kilburn and had it back within 24 hrs completed .This guy lives ,eats and breathes cars ..especially clutches I think ! He answered all my questions and I got a really good price and also new front shock absorbers and a years warranty on parts and labour .Check out all his awards -I'll definitely recommend him to everyone David (Kilburn )
excellent service very quick and honest would highly recommend. Patrick is very helpful and friendly .
Fantastic, have recommended to all my friends and family!
Fabio arrived at agreed time and carried out work promptly and efficiently and all at a great price. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you !
Very reliable turned up on time and fixed problem no messing around or saying there were other problems will use again
Great service, would highly recommend!
Fabio is a really genuine, knowledgable professional and I have already asked him back to service my car next month. He took time to explain and show me the damaged parts and compared them with the new ones. Highly recommended.
I would just like to say that from booking the job with a very pleasant Gema, to the work be carried out by Josh a very talented Mechanic that i could trust to carry out the work that i wanted doing . Well done ..Thank you Mark
All fine, worked out well
Everything was fine, would use again
Fantastic, they were really good to me, fixed the flywheel as well for a decent price, I definitely recommend.
Absolutely extraordinary brilliant, cannot fault them, extremely professional, wish I could give more stars, valeted the car as well, the car feels like it's brand new, thank you :)
Great! Came and picked the car up, changed the fan belt as well
Good services.
Would recommend waited whilst brakes done very efficient will use again. Price as quoted.
Service and price was good, just a couple of pointers to improve. Waiting area was cold and no facilities to get a drink yourself, did ask and tea was forth coming (good cuppa). Had to wait for parts to arrive (would have preferred to have been told parts only ordered when car in garage), would have offered to pay for parts up-front to reduce time delay, otherwise was a good value service.
Very good garage, cost 145 for labouring for changing both drive belt and timing belt. Would come there again
Great service the price quoted was the price paid friendly quick service
Second time we have used this garage. They are really great. Easy to deal with and helpful. I would recommend that you give them a go.
Was told would be open for 8:30. Was open at 9... Was nearly given another person's car as a courtacy.. Was not even in the books for that day or even at all. However I was booked in right away in person, quote of £130 turned into £122 and the repairs were done in a very timely manner with professional phone manners. Credit card transaction was painless. Would recommend for the service I've received.
Great garage
I am very satisfied. Highly recommended to everyone. Thanks
Perfect Job. Service & MOT brilliant. Would definitely use again. Only prob was Mercedes Reset on Display but that is always a problem lol. Recommended. 5 stars

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is a form of hypogonadism that is due to a problem with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus.
Gonadotropin deficiency; Secondary hypogonadism
HH is caused by a lack of hormones that normally stimulate the ovaries or testes: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
Normally, the hypothalamus in the brain releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
There are several causes of HH:
Kallmann syndrome is an inherited form of HH that typically occurs with a loss of smell.
Tests that may be done include:
Treatment depends on the source of the problem, but may involve:
The right hormone treatment will cause puberty to start and may restore fertility. If the condition begins after puberty or in adulthood, symptoms will often improve with treatment.

Charles Ray "Charlie" Mullinnix, 92, died on the eve of a Tupelo Luncheon Civitan Club 64th birthday celebration.
Mullinnix, known as "Mr. Civitan," was instrumental in making the club the largest in the world.
He joined the club in November 1953, and during his lifetime brought in 278 members to the club.
During the club's birthday celebration, the program was turned over to members telling stories about their friend and fellow civitan. They told of travels with Mullinnix, his initiations of new members and how he could always tell a story and get a laugh every time, regardless of the number of times someone had heard the story.
One member told of Mullinnix during his days of public speaking and how they traveled to clubs, weddings and a variety of events for him to speak.
The member said Mullinnix was speaking to a nursing home and when he was done, he said "there wasn't a dry seat in the house."
Obituary information
Charles Ray "Charlie" Mullinnix, 92, a longtime local and regional civic leader, former Tupelo Outstanding Citizen, master Civitan Club member and leader of the United Methodist Church, died Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013, at his residence in Tupelo.
Funeral arrangements are pending and will be announced by Holland Funeral Directors, Tupelo Chapel.
Memorials may be made to Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church, c/o Betty Moore, 975 Hwy. 348, Guntown, MS 38849; or Tupelo Luncheon Civitan Club, P.O. Box 661, Tupelo, MS 38801.

Hans Blix to discuss WMD, March 8
Posted March 2, 2005; 05:00 p.m.
Former U.N. Weapons Inspector Hans Blix will discuss "Weapons of Mass Destruction, Terrorism and Security" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
A valid Princeton ID will be required for admission to Dodds. The lecture will be simulcast in 1, 2 and 16 Robertson for others.
A veteran Swedish diplomat, Blix served as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency from 1981 to 1997 and was charged with overseeing inspection of Iraq's nuclear program. He became head of the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission in 2000, running the commission during the contentious period when the existence and verification of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was hotly debated by Security Council members as reason to justify waging war on that country.
Blix retired from that position in 2003, and currently is the honorary chair of the International Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction, which began work in January 2004. In his most recent book, "Disarming Iraq: The Search for Weapons of Mass Destruction," he provides an appraisal of the U.N. Iraq weapons inspection debate that led to the country's 2003 invasion.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Program on Science and Global Security.

China's so-called shadow banking industry is a problem–we just don't know how big a problem it really is.
China's Shanghai Composite stock index has jumped 13% during the last three months, as recent economic data signaled that the world's second-largest economy had started to pick up. Almost immediately, the debate turned away from whether the country was heading for a "hard landing" or a soft one, to whether the growth can be sustained or has simply been boosted by government spending and an increase in credit through the shadow banking industry.
There's little doubt that shadow-banking activity has exploded. The Financial Times noted in an article today that financing by China's brokerage firms increased by 600% in 2012, while the brokerages now have almost $320 billion of funds that banks have given them, more than seven times the cash at the beginning of 2012, the FT says. And China will publish a more detailed breakdown of the numbers, Chinese officials said.
Now the debate appears to center on whether or not China's regulators will be able to manage the massive amount of credit that exists off the books of the banks. Asset-manager GMO said last week that the massive growth in credit resembles the booms in Japan in the 1980s and the U.S. before the financial crisis–and deemed China a bubble economy. And Lombard Street's Diana Choyleva, in a note today, called the recent rally a "liquidity-driven equity market upswing" that may have room to run, but will end in badly because investment spending isn't boosting corporate profits.
Barclays also weighed in. Local governments are also spending like crazy, and "if left unchecked, could grow rapidly, posing significant fiscal and financial risks in the medium term," its wrote in a report today. And China's pensions pose the greatest threat, they say, because of a large a growing funding gap and an aging population. "Although we think the probability of a debt crisis in China is low, the risk is real," Barclays' strategists write, "especially if the contingent liabilities of local governments and the financial system, as well as the pension gap, continue to grow."
So should investors head for the hills? Not necessarily.

White nail polish.
When it comes to nail polish, I don't spend a lot of time messing about with polka dots or little heart designs or whathaveyous. In fact, I just don't spend a lot. Period.
This time, I simply wanted to dot my fingertips with the whitest of white nail polish. Whiteout white.

In my life time, I have had the opportunity to be honored for many achievements. Not tooting my horn, but it is fair to say that in 21 years in the Army and many years a Scouter, accolades and recognition comes your way. I have been honored by our Nation through the Army, I have been honored by civic organizations, I have been honored by the Boy Scouts on many levels, but never have I been so Honored as I was last night.
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints…." Ephesians 6:10-18
We talk about a Scout being Reverent, but we also talk about a Scout being Brave. Putting on the Armor of God requires all of the Scout Law to withstand the evils that are around us.
I am so honored to be a part of Parker putting on the Armor last night and making that choice. I am so honored to be chosen to be his stand up… his sponsor.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Tyrone Spong Keeps the Peace

Tyrone Spong Saves Lives at the It's Showtime 2010 Amsterdam Press Conference
This was back in 2010, so a bunch of you may have seen it already, but Tyrone Spong keeps humorous and awkward from becoming a genuine fracas. I smiled. The eventual Saki/ Manhoef match was pretty good, too!
Tensions between them might still be high, if you remember Saki's half-serious Tweet about wanting to submit Manhoef in MMA.

It is really not easy to find laptop sleeves that are 1) Cute, and 2) Not too bulky. I stuck with my practical (but ugly) Memory Foam laptop sleeve for the longest time, simply because I couldn't find a good replacement that didn't cost a bomb. Sleeves for Macbook Pro 15″ are harder to come by as well, so I think I have struck gold with this leather envelope sleeve.
Camel really isn't a colour I'm used to carrying, but this works so well with the manila envelope feel the sleeve is going for. My only complain is that the string frayed after only one use. It's easily fixable though, I just have to find a similar thread.

| "Pineapple contains bromelain which is used by gastroenterologists to treat gastrointestinal disorders…it's that good!" says Dan Hamner, M.D., a sports medicine and rehabilitation doctor in New York City. Bromelain helps the pancreatic cells break down food substances so that they can enter the energy pathways. In case you were wondering, pina coladas don't count.

| If you're not completely sold on the farmers markets yet, here's another argument for you: "Research shows that dieters with higher levels of pesticide chemicals stored in their fat cells had reduced metabolism," says Elizabeth Lombardo, Ph.D., author of "A Happy You: Your Ultimate Prescription for Happiness." "It appears the toxins in non-organic food can cause your body to store fat rather than metabolize it." So if you don't want to carry last night's dinner around your thighs, your best bet is to stick with organic fruits and vegetables.

| You know how you always feel famished after sex? Well, it's not just your imagination -- it's hormonal. "Have sex often. It increases your hormone levels -- estrogen for women and testosterone for men --which raises metabolism," says Judy Gaman, host of "The Staying Young Show" and co-author of "Stay Young: 10 Proven Steps to Ultimate Health."

| Turns out that regular meditation can help boost metabolism. "Stress wreaks havoc on your body, laying down fat cells particularly around your middle," says Lombardo. "Meditation helps you better control stress, which then allows your body to metabolize your food more effectively." Meditation can also curb stress eating.

"If you take a cold shower it will cause you to shiver, which will increase your metabolism thanks to the muscles contracting," says Dr. Alan Hirsch, Founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago and author of "What's Your Food Sign?" "It's the body trying to reestablish homeostasis." In other words your body is trying to get back to its normal temperature.

| This one is a bit of a party pooper, but too many fun nights out may put the damper on your metabolism. "Research shows that consuming the equivalent of just two mixed drinks -- or two glasses of wine or two bottles of beer -- reduces fat burning metabolism by 73 percent," says Lombardo. "That's because your liver converts the alcohol into acetate and uses that as fuel, rather than your fat storage." And of course you already know that the extra calories from imbibing add up as well. So, drink responsibly.

| Citrus and peppermint (or anything else with that aroma) stimulate the nervous system which in turn ups your metabolism, says Hirsch. Apparently, smelling buttered popcorn and strawberries while exercising will help you burn more calories too. Not sure how to accomplish that while on the treadmill but if you figure it out, your metabolism will be through the roof!

| Water is essential to your body's functioning, including carrying nutrients to your cells. "Studies have shown that people who drank 8-12 full glasses of water daily had higher metabolic rates than those who drank only four glasses," says Lombardo. "Drinking cold water may be even better for your metabolism since your body burns a few extra calories heating the cold water to your core temperature." In addition, dehydration is often misinterpreted as hunger, causing people to eat more. By staying hydrated, you'll probably eat less.

"Rocketfish is the Best Buy house brand of audio components/accessories.

By 'pinched' I mean boosted in the wrong places of the spectrum. I don't believe in spending $500 on iems that are going to be sweated on, tossed in a gym bag and otherwise abused. Hell..." --Mach-X

I'm assuming yes which is why I'm asking this here. I'm an archery guy, never really been into guns enough to know all the ins and outs. Anyway, a guy posted a pic on an archery forum of his predator hunting rig back in early November. It was an AR platform and freaking nice. I decided then that I was going to build one from the ground up but wait until after the holidays to learn mor about the various parts and to spend the money. So now here we are and everyone that's paying attention knows what a huge mistake I made waiting.
Anyway my question is this. IF a weapons ban goes through, will that include parts or will one still be able to buy uppers, lowers, or at least individual parts to build one?

Reuben L. Danielson
Ogema - Reuben Danielson, age 90, son of John and Ruth Danielson and long--time resident of the Town of Hill died on November 24, 2012. Reuben had a long loving marriage with his beloved wife, Margith, (deceased), and deeply loved his three children, Kent (deceased in infancy), Sonia (Richard) Von Loh and Kristine (Craig) Freundlich as well as his grandchildren Aaron Von Loh and Vicki (Steve) Tressler.
He served in the US Navy in WWII, and worked for Ol Timber Corporation for many years. He loved being outdoors in nature, greatly enjoyed fishing and in his 70's became a proficient cross-county skier which he did for over a decade in spite of falling through the ice of the beaver pond behind his home while skiing one below-zero day.
He deeply loved being in his home with his wife, only moving to Madison several years ago due to advanced age. He was a long-time member of the Ogema Lutheran Church and active in the local American Legion Post.
Reuben was highly respected for his sense of honor and integrity. He had a kind heart and a good sense of humor and will be missed by all who knew him.
Services for Reuben are private family according to his wishes.

When Burma's Zin Mar Aung was placed in solitary confinement for trying to organize students in 1999, Bill Clinton was president of the United States.
When she was released, Barack Obama was in the Oval Office.
Zin Mar Aung says she had never heard of George W. Bush or his wife, Laura, who used her own bully pulpit to push for liberation of Burma's most famous political prisoner, democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi, then under house arrest.
Suu Kyi is well-known to many now because of the largely unacknowledged work of the Bushes, as well as Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Since her release, Suu Kyi has risen to public office, accepted her Nobel Peace Prize and been the subject of a movie ("The Lady").
Less well-known are four rising female leaders with whom I met, including Zin Mar Aung, who are visiting the U.S. this month for leadership training. Their delegation is sponsored by Goldman Sachs' "10,000 Women" program, in partnership with the George W. Bush Institute, the McCain Institute and the Meridian International Center.
Start here: Imagine living under a military dictatorship where free speech is punishable by incarceration, torture or worse. Imagine sitting in an 8-by-8-foot cell alone for 11 years with nothing but a small water jug, a "sink" for waste, and a 15-minute daily break for a cold bath in a communal tub. Throw in a lack of any amenities (shoes) or even necessities, such as sanitary napkins.
This was Zin Mar Aung's life for 11 years.
Then one day, she was free.
It takes courage to put one foot in front of the other, much less to become an activist.
The accomplishments of the four also include helping political prisoners, providing education and training to underserved girls and young women vulnerable to trafficking, and advocating for victims of domestic violence.
The three other women are: Hla Hla Yee, a mother, attorney and former political prisoner who counsels marginalized women and provides paralegal training in orphanages and elsewhere; Shunn Lei Swe Yee, who mobilizes young people to work for a more civil society; and Ma Nilar OO, who worked for the International Red Cross for 18 years, advocated for political prisoners and personally provided some of those aforementioned necessities to Zin Mar Aung and Hla Hla Yee when they were imprisoned.
Some of these struggles sound familiar, even in our relatively advanced democracy.
Everything – from how to build a feminist movement to how to create a political party – has to be invented from scratch. What is the message? What is public opinion? How does a person get elected?
Imagine that. And then meditate about – or pray for – the safety and success of these four brave women.
Kathleen Parker's email address is email@example.com.

Israel's kibbutz communities, nestled in its most scenic and fertile landscapes, are one of its best-known Israeli "products," representing a unique, rural way of life whose historic hallmark is sharing. The kibbutz movement began around the turn of the 20th century when groups of young pioneers from Eastern Europe decided to combine their commitment to egalitarianism and their love of nature and working the land with their Zionist creed. These first kibbutzniks, as members of these communities are called, founded Degania on the southern shore of the Sea of Galilee, which is still blooming and going strong.
Today there are approximately 270 kibbutzim throughout the country. Interestingly, as famous as the kibbutz movement is, only about 1.5% of Israel's population has chosen this way of life, making it an even more special phenomenon you'll want to learn more about when you visit. Their role has certainly been the inverse of their small numbers – it is impossible to imagine Israel without the kibbutz contribution to agriculture, industry, as a first home for immigrants and, in the early years, in defense of its borders.
Many say the kibbutz secret of success has been its willingness to change with the times. More than a generation ago, for example, they gave up the idea of children sleeping in group quarters watched over by kibbutz caregivers, which in the old days was considered essential to maximize working hands. And today, some kibbutzim have decided to foster greater individual enterprise, while continuing to share elements of their cultural and social lives. Still others have kept the traditional framework of a redistribution of the resources of all members.
Since all kibbutzim began as farms, they are located in Israel's most beautiful regions. That makes them an alluring destination for visitors, and many operate hotels and/or bed-and-breakfast facilities, craft shops, galleries and other attractions and tourist services. In fact, visitors who want both to meet these unusual folks and enjoy their hospitality can plan their entire Israel trip staying overnight only at kibbutzim! With lots of room to run around outdoors, kibbutz accommodations are great for families with young children. Some kibbutzim run tours of their community, and boast museums of their pioneering days and/or the heritage sites and artifacts found right on their land.
An unforgettable opportunity to get acquainted with kibbutz life, to make life-long friends among the kibbutzniks and other people from around the world, and to see Israel at the same time is by volunteering on one of 30 or so kibbutzim for a minimum of two months and a maximum of six months. If you love green pastures and waterscapes, you may look for a kibbutz volunteer program in northern Israel's Hula Valley or near the Sea of Galilee. In contrast , there are dramatic desert scapes in the Negev or the Arava, where you can help make the arid land bloom.

This is a reproduction of Archibald Rutledge's famous Miss Seduction box caller. The call is made from a Poplar base, Mahogany sound boards, Wormy Butternut paddle and has Eastern Cedar end blocks. The call comes with Archibald Rutledge's instruction paper using his words but in my hand writing.
The winning bidder can PM me with a female name to be placed on the call.
Message: My calls are made to represent calls of past call makers. Most of the "Old Timers" didn't use a finish because the calls were made to kill turkeys and not sit in a display cabinet. Call makers of the past made calls out of necessity if they got messed up they would just make another one.
I try very hard to make my calls represent calls of the past. I sand all checks and scratches smooth and use a hand rubbed oil finish on my calls. My calls probably won't be winning any beauty contests. I make them for one intended purpose and that's to roll big ole Gobblers.
Gobble, Gobble… "BOOM"!

The sunset was breath taking, I can only imagine what it was like in person.
What made this day so beautiful was the ability to share it with you in person. God was along for the ride because he made the day's weather perfect and dressed the roadside and hills with many flowers. Thanks for the great music and Rosary. We enjoyed the Joyful Mysteries on the way home it was a perfect ending to a great overnight trip. Thanks for your friendship.


text: This beautiful coastline boasts superb, sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages such as Polperro and Mevagissey, and small resorts such as Looe and Falmouth. The Lizard headland is famous for its cove beaches, and the creeks around Plymouth, Fowey ('foy'), and Falmouth are particularly appealing and attract yachtsmen. Magnificent gardens come right down to the coast, while the spectacular Eden Centre is the world's finest 'plant theme park'.

Policy 100.10
Transfer of Overseas Employees
Originator: Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
Subject: Transfer of Overseas Employees
- Purpose
- Since the end of WWII, UMUC has served the US forces in Europe and Asia under contracts with the Department of Defense. UMUC has developed a strong cadre of respected and dedicated staff and faculty living in Europe and Asia, who for many years have been committed to serving the US forces.
- As the US military presence in Europe and Asia changes in the strength and location of forces, UMUC will facilitate the transfer of UMUC Overseas staff and faculty to positions with UMUC Adelphi when there are positions posted and when the employee is eligible, in accordance with this Policy.
- Scope This policy applies to overseas staff and faculty employed by UMUC Europe or UMUC Asia (collectively referred to as Overseas staff or faculty), for one year following the effective date of an involuntary separation from Overseas service for any reason other than termination for cause.
- Policy
- General
UMUC Adelphi shall ensure postings of positions with UMUC Adelphi for both staff and faculty are accessible to all UMUC Overseas staff and faculty through an appropriate page on Engage.
- Instructional Faculty Positions
A UMUC Overseas staff or faculty member interested in an instructional faculty position posted for UMUC Adelphi, should respond to the posting according to its terms.
- Overseas collegiate faculty will have preference for positions for instructional collegiate faculty positions posted for UMUC-Adelphi when eligible. In order to be eligible for this preference, the overseas collegiate faculty member must:
- Respond to the posting;
- Hold an advanced degree;
- Live or have plans to move stateside and be local to UMUC in Adelphi if any face to face teaching is required;
- Be cleared by overseas to teach the courses required for the position; and
- Have been recommended for the position by the Senior Vice President for the Overseas Divisions or Associate Dean.
- Overseas adjunct faculty members who wish to teach for UMUC-Adelphi can be included in the active pool of eligible adjunct faculty for those courses he/she is cleared to teach. Classes will be assigned on an if/when needed basis, on equal priority with other members of the pool. In order to be placed in this pool, adjunct faculty must:
- Notify his/her supervisor of his/her interest to teach for UMUC Adelphi;
- Hold an advanced degree; and
- Have a written recommendation from his/her current supervisor.
- Overseas faculty seeking UMUC Adelphi positions may be competing for those positions with other UMUC faculty who may also be eligible for a preference as an internal hire.
- Staff and Administrative Faculty Positions
- When a UMUC Overseas applicant responds to a staff posting, Human Resources will ensure that managers are aware of the applicant's experience overseas so he/she can be afforded priority in the hiring process when appropriate.
- When a UMUC Overseas staff or faculty member has applied for a UMUC Adelphi staff or administrative faculty position, this information will be reported (including the result of the search) to the appropriate Executive Committee member who oversees the area where the position is open.
- When a UMUC Overseas staff or faculty member transfers to a UMUC Adelphi position as outlined in this Policy, the following conditions must be adhered to:
- The transfer will be viewed by UMUC as continued or reinstated employment, as applicable, for UMUC purposes in accordance with the then existing policies.
- Faculty members will retain their then current rank.
- The terms and conditions of employment will be those applicable to UMUC Adelphi and to the position into which the transfer is made, including the compensation range and salary assigned as established for the position as well as all local laws and applicable treaties. Moving expenses incident to a transfer to UMUC Adelphi will be compensated only if that benefit is otherwise available to the individual as part of his/her separation package or transportation agreement as negotiated by UMUC Europe or UMUC Asia and in accordance with UMUC's Policy 380.50 on Payment Candidate Travel and Moving Expenses.
- The transfer will be accomplished for faculty by a new appointment agreement and for staff by a new appointment letter.
- The staff and/or faculty member must reside or have plans to move stateside prior to starting the UMUC Adelphi position.
- Due to the applicability of local laws and international treaties, it may not be possible or practical for UMUC Adelphi to accommodate transfers when the UMUC Overseas employee is located outside of the United States.
- UMUC is a State of Maryland entity and generally operates under the laws of the State of Maryland. The laws of other jurisdictions may not be compatible, as to the impact on UMUC, with the law under which UMUC generally operates. In considering the location of an employee desiring to transfer to UMUC Adelphi, UMUC must consider the effect that local law may have on UMUC and its operations.
- In implementing this Policy, any transfer will be determined on a case-by-case basis by UMUC Adelphi giving weight to the effect on UMUC as well as the desires of the employee. In most cases, transfer to a full-time position with UMUC Adelphi will require relocation to the United States.
- Exceptions
- For faculty positions, exceptions to this Policy may be made with the approval of the Provost, or designee.
- For staff positions, exceptions to this Policy may be made with the approval of Chief Business Officer, or designee.
- Appeal Process Overseas employees who believe that this Policy has not been followed for them may file a grievance under the applicable policy.

Shatner is INCREDIBLY prolific; however, most of that prolificness (prolificality?) applies to a big series of Star Trek tie-in novels. They're about Captain Kirk, naturally.
When she's not busy with the reality TV racket, Lauren Conrad writes young adult novels. L.A. Candy is the first of a series of three books that follows the trials and tribulations of one Jane Roberts. Jane moves to Hollywood, works at an events company, and then becomes a reality TV star. Gee, what's that like?
This one may not be news to you. Princess Leia's first novel, the semi-autobiographical Postcards from the Edge, was first published in 1987. Revolving around an actress trying to put her life back together after a drug overdose, the novel was adapted into a film in 1990, directed by Mike Nichols and with a screenplay by Fisher.
Sharon Osbourne has written two autobiographical books, Extreme and Survivor; however, she also put out a thriller called Revenge. It tells the sordid tale of two sisters who share a dream of becoming massively famous-- but, the words of the book's blurb, "only one has the ruthless ambition to make it to the very top. And she will stop at nothing to get what she wants." Cue the dramatic music.
Ash Wednesday is the second of Ethan Hawke's two novels, the first being The Hottest State. Both deal with turbulent relationships in times of trouble, but Ash Wednesday's tale of a war-torn couple garnered significantly better reviews.
Shatner is INCREDIBLY prolific; however, most of that prolificness (prolificality?) applies to a big series of Star Trek tie-in novels. They're about Captain Kirk, naturally.
Unsurprisingly, television actress Courtney Thorne-Smith's novel is about a television actress, albeit a failed one. They DO say to write what you know...
After writing a boatload of humor and autobiography, Joan Rivers branched out into fiction in 2009. The title tells you pretty much everything you need to know.
I'm not sure if the movie came first or if the book came first, but apparently Stallone's 1978 story about a couple of Hell's Kitchen wrestlers was both.
According to the book's blurb, The Truth About Diamonds is about "Chloe Parker, a rock royalty princess and a card-carrying member of Hollywood's inner circle. At the age of seven, Chloe was adopted by a music superstar and his wife, transforming her life from rags to riches. What followed was a wild childhood distinguished by parties with movie stars and rock idols, run-ins with the press and the police, and a subsequent stint in rehab." Funny how the model on the book cover looks almost exactly like Richie herself...
Dr. House wrote a book! I can vouch for this one; it's terribly entertaining, if you're into Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels-type stories. Fun fact: Hugh Laurie submitted it to publishers under a pseudonym, only revealing who he was after it had been accepted. Sneaky.
Yep, Pammy wrote a novel-- the plot of which closely mirrored her own life. This seems to be a running theme, doesn't it?
Funnyman Steve Martin has written a couple of novels over the years; An Object of Beauty is his most recent. This one didn't go down too well, though-- the art world setting and dry tone didn't thrill most readers, and an event promoting it at the 92nd Street Y turned out to be a disaster.
The Liar is only one of Stephen Fry's many literary pursuits; he's also written three other novels, a couple of non-fiction books, and (of course) a few autobiographical volumes. First published in 1991, The Liar takes its inspiration from Fry's university days at Cambridge with buddy Hugh Laurie.
Naomi Campbell's 1994 novel about a model dealing with a slight case of blackmail didn't do so well critically. Ah well. Can't win 'em all.

Cycle update (OR What not to do while cycling!)
I guess this part of my story is a great guide on some things not to do when it comes to cycling.
I started my fishless cycle moderately well informed, thanks to this community! But I still did a couple dumb things that have dramatically prolonged my cycle. According to my spreadsheet (yes, I'm one of those, I try to record everything), I began the fishless cycle on March 23rd. Here's what happened.
** All readings are API master liquid test kit
Mistake #1. I initially dosed to 4ppm ammonia. I have a 20g high. Ammo dropped to 0ppm 5 days later and I redosed... to 4ppm. Nine days later it was stuck at .75ppm (for about 5 days).
At some point after overdosing my tank with ammonia, I got a nice bacterial bloom. First it was just cloudy water. Then it was a gross filmy substance covering the surfaces of the tank. It was unsightly, and right about the time the cycle stalled as well.
Mistake #2. Instead of letting the tank do it's thing and bring the ammonia to 0, I re-dosed ammonia to 2ppm. The ammonia dropped to 1.5ppm where it stayed for, well, a while.
Mistake #3. While my tank was stalled I eventually stopped tracking in the workbook when I found the ammonia still at 1.5. I was discouraged by the stall, and the bloomy fuzzy stuff. There is a gap between the last reading of 1.5ppm on 4/9 (I tested for a while after this), and on 5/20 when I tested on a whim and found ammonia at 0. At some point between those two dates, I redosed the tank to 2ppm.
Mistake #4. I had also decided to clean the tank surfaces of the slimy white stuff from the bacterial bloom at some point in the cycle. It has since plagued my tank. After I broke the film into millions of pieces, instead of covering the glass, it settled on all surfaces plants, decorations, gravel. While it doesn't seem to be alive or growing any longer, it's everywhere.
Mistake #5. In what really should be Mistake #1, but for the purposes of this post we will call 5, is that I really did have inadequate filtration during most of the cycle. I was running a Penguin 150 (rated 30g), and flow was probably not enough. I added (alongside the HOB) the EHEIM Classic 2213 on 5/24. It may be a bit overkill with it running at full blast (just for the cycle), but I need the water cleared and my previous filtration was definitely not enough.
And for what's perhaps my last mistake, is that I'm NOT yet fully cycled, and I am doing water changes. It has been in the last week or two, and I've done 2x 30%. It helps to clear out the white grime from the bloom.
At this point, both Ites and Ates are off the charts. Ites are an unreadable magenta, and Ates are maybe 120-140. Neither water change altered these readings. Ammonia drops to zero in 2 or 3 days.
Those are some things NOT to do while cycling. I am looking forward to finishing this cycle so I can add some fish friends.
I have no idea how long the rest of my cycle is going to take, but at this point, what's a little longer? I am thinking of adding a school of cherry barbs and maybe a couple shrimp.
I'm attaching pics of some of the white stuff (algae?), maybe someone here knows what it is. I think it's harmless, but I am not sure.

No one has any idea what the white, fluffy, stringy, sticky stuff might be? Or how to get rid of it?
So far, light gravel vacs (trying not to disturb decor or plants) seem to suck the stuff up. It tends to settle on surfaces. But there's so much of it!!!!

First of all, if your ammonia is dropping to 0, that's good. How much have you been adding? If I were you, I would add no more than a reading of 1.0ppm at this point (only after you have a reading of 0 ammonia)- you need to give the nitrItes time to drop down to 0 - then you'd need to do a massive water change (even 100%) to reduce the nitrAtes before adding fish.
It's a common thing to go "ammonia happy" in the beginning - many people don't have the patience to wait for ammonia to drop initially but at least you can see what you've done.
Yes, it would be a good idea to increase your filtration - a filter rated for 30gal is really only good for half that - so you might want to get another filter rated for 30 and run them both together.
Honestly, I think the white stuff is "bio film" - I doubt it's algae - yes it's annoying but if I'm right, it won't hurt anything - the cloudy water at the beginning was just a bacterial bloom, common in the beginning of the cycling process.
Any other questions please ask!

Yes, ammonia drops down to 0 every 2-3 days. I've been dosing to 1ppm. Ites are off the charts, have been for a while.
My EHEIM canister is rated at 66gal, plus I'm running the HOB since it has most of the bacteria. I'm going to run them side-by-side for a long while, at least until I'm confident that the canister is properly cycled.
I'm not sweating the white stuff. I think it's harmless, and I will be rid of it eventually. I was hoping someone had experience with it and could give me some tips on how to get rid of it! ;)

In May's scrap club collection May Fair there are several frames and corresponding masks. Can someone explain to me what is the purpose of the masks? Are they supposed to be used with the frames?Thanks!

Hi Monika, yes the frames are to be used with the masks. Elisha always includes a mask that you can clip the photo to and then place beneath the frame so it's a perfect fit.

Posted 01 May 2013 - 08:31 PM
Thanks for answering, Monica! that's exactly right. Masks are just a smidge bigger than the inside of the frame so there's no chance of "show through". Slide the mask on a layer under the frame , your photo between the mask and the frame, and use your preferred method (Like Ctrl G) to clip your photo to the mask.
You don't have to use them if you don't want to.

A Holiday Chocolate Box for the Craft Beer Lover
Most of us here at the brewery know what a great pairing beer and chocolate can be (as we've alluded to before), but we thought it would come as a surprise to others who might think of wine as THE traditional pairing. So to prove our point, we came together with our friends at TCHO (pronounced "choh") to design the Samuel Adams Beer Lover's Chocolate Box, a gift box that pairs a premium chocolate style with brews from our Winter Classics Variety Pack. (Who wouldn't want to find this combo in their stocking?)
TCHO is an artisanal craft chocolate maker in San Francisco. They take their chocolate as seriously as we take our beer, so we jumped at the chance to work with them. TCHO's Chief Chocolate Maker Brad Kintzer and I sat down to taste, discuss and thoughtfully pair our beers with their wide variety of chocolates. ► Read More

I mentioned before the highlight of this trip was working with the incredible Anna Wolf. She went over and above to make me feel relaxed and comfortable in a setting so out of my norm! Anna's not only an extremely talented photographer, but one of the warmest souls I've ever had the pleasure to meet.
Writing a blog allows me the freedom to profile artists and products I wholeheartedly believe in, so this experience was certainly different in that aspect. I would have loved to handpick the pieces featured on this page and showcase some of my own favorite designers, but I understand magazines have obligations and demographics they must cater to. So because these picks were chosen by Lucky, here are my own must-haves.
My Essentials:
I appreciate really heavy statement jewelry, both in weight and size. I love unique vintage pieces, but am also addicted to Gerard Tully animal rings and Giles & Brother's brass pieces.
Because my jewelry airs on being quite substantial, I like to balance my look with lighter, more ethereal clothing. Rebecca Taylor and Jill Stuart always have gorgeous pieces that effortlessly transform from day to night, summer to winter.
Flats are easy and comfortable enough to wear all day without looking or feeling worn down. My favorite splurge being Loeffler Randall.
My Current Obsessions:
Natalia Brilli's leather horse bracelet epitomizes "a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll."
Lizzie Fortunato Jewels Leo belt bag. This needlepoint and leather heirloom-inspired belt is the perfect accessory for hands-free travels.
During the summer I lived in my Lola straw hat and now I'm looking forward to wearing less structured, chunky knits like Mischa Lampert's cozy collection. Each year, I also buy one of Kate Spade's Women for Women hats. They are full of personality and the money goes to a great cause!
A few of my shopping mantras when I hit the stores:
• I love items with subtle fabrications and impeccable construction, so I do have to space out my shopping to afford the nicer things I really want.
• I only buy what I absolutely love, that way I never tire of my wardrobe.

(Yes, I'm copping this from my blog entry, sue me)
For those of you who don't know, 4:20 is the time when pot-heads take their "smoke break", it's become their codeword for dope-smokin', and often comes with the phrase "it's always 4:20 somewhere". I've certainly come across a number of 4:20 aficionados in my time, even in multiplayer videogames where they include it as part of their username.
In the past few months, I've found that I'm often looking up at the clock at exactly 11:38, whether AM or PM (I'm not a morning guy, but 11:38 ain't that early), which I've found a little interesting. Then it dawned on me while playing Star Wars Battlefront II at 11:38 last night that, hey, maybe we Star Wars fans - or "Star Warts" as on rare occasion I've called us - should do our own version of 4:20 and whenever we take note of it being 11:38, we should do something Star Wars-related, even if it's only waving a hand at an automatic door (admit it, you've used the Force to open doors all the time). Watch the movies, play the soundtracks, pose an action figure, cut off your son's hand, kiss your sister, electrocute the handicapped, make 3 inferior films which stand in total defiance of the original mythos you created, play with a lightsaber toy, talk like Jar Jar, or get high and say "Star Wars? Man, we're already having wars... under the starrrrs!" and think it's brilliantly hilarious. My point is, 11:38 should be our time to be Star Wars fans every day.
Now if my Trekkie side could only get a 17:01 o'clock...

A crowd gathered at the Charleston Marriott to support the American Heart Association in their efforts to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Guests mingled during cocktail hour and participated in a silent auction bidding on bottles of fine wine and locally made crafts.
The night continued with a seated dinner from Cru Catering. On the menu was an arugula and fig salad, herb rubbed petite filet and lump crab cake, and fresh berry Napoleon with house made whipped cream. Meanwhile, guests partook in a vigorous live auction, where popular items included two tickets and airfare to the US Open Tennis Championship in New York City, a private dinner with wine pairings for ten people with chef Joe Palma from High Cotton, and a gorgeous painting entitled "Between the Oaks" by featured artist Christopher Groves.
After the auction, master of ceremonies Victoria Hansen of ABC News 4 showed a video and introduced special guest Holly Folk. Last year, Folk suffered a brain aneurysm, a stroke, and cardiac arrest at the age of 28. She was given an estimated 20 percent chance of survival, but was able to recover and walk down the aisle with now-husband Will, thanks to the American Heart Association.
The annual Heart Ball Art & Wine Auction has collectively raised more than $1 million since 2010. Dollars raised fund local research and patient education. In the past year, the organization has reduced heart disease deaths by 8.8 percent and stroke deaths by 10 percent. They funded 980 cardiovascular research projects, making AHA the top funder of cardiovascular research aside from the federal government. They passed CPR bills in 11 states and implemented Get With The Guidelines in more than 2,000 hospitals nationwide, drastically improving outcomes for heart disease and stroke patients.

Have you done your Good Turn today?
Let me introduce you to a high tech way of doing a very old and traditional Scouting practice. Doing a Good turn has always been a part of Scouting, in fact is was a Good turn that brought Scouting to America. We all know the story of the unknown Scout in the London fog that met William D. Boyce giving him directions and refusing a tip. Well if that unknown Scout had an iPhone, not only would he have given directions, but he would have shown a map, called BP and informed him of the visitor, and maybe even used it as a flashlight to assist in getting through the fog.
So here is the Good turn app for Scouts and Scouters in the 21st century! GOOD TURN, by Stephen Houser.
The Good Turn iPhone application is a simple yet hi-tech replacement for the age-old good turn coin carried by many boy scouts to remind them to "Do a good turn daily." It is quick and easy to use; just swipe or double-tap to flip the coin on the screen each day when your good turn has been done. The application shows you have done your good turn for the day, and records the date, time, and location for later reference.
To encourage you to do your good turn each day, the history feature keeps track of your good turns. Each turn can later be recalled. With Location Services (GPS) capable devices your location can also be recorded and displayed on a map and shared with others.
Your good turns can be sent to the Good Turn Website where anyone on the Internet can see that a good turn has been done, including the date, time, and location. You can also see these good turns directly from the application on your phone, overlaid on an interactive world map.
So check out the Good Turn site and iPhone App.. I have it on my phone already, its a great reminder to Do my Good Turn daily!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Each kindness makes the world a little better
This unforgettable book is written and illustrated by the award-winning team that created The Other Side and the Caldecott Honor winner Coming On Home Soon. With its powerful anti-bullying message and striking art, it will resonate with readers long after they've put it down.
Chloe and her friends won't play with the new girl, Maya. Every time Maya tries to join Chloe and her friends, they reject her. Eventually Maya stops coming to school. When Chloe's teacher gives a lesson about how even small acts of kindness can change the world, Chloe is stung by the lost opportunity for friendship, and thinks about how much better it could have been if she'd shown a little kindness toward Maya.

When a new and clearly impoverished girl named Maya shows up at school ("Her coat was open and the clothes beneath it looked old and ragged"), Chloe and her friends brush off any attempt to befriend her. Even when Maya valiantly—and heartbreakingly—tries to fit in and entice the girls to play with her, she is rejected. Then one day, Maya is gone, and Chloe realizes that her "chance of a kindness" is "more and more forever gone." Combining realism with shimmering impressionistic washes of color, Lewis turns readers into witnesses as kindness hangs in the balance in the cafeteria, the classroom, and on the sun-bleached playground asphalt; readers see how the most mundane settings can become tense testing grounds for character. Woodson, who collaborated with Lewis on The Other Side and Coming On Home Soon, again brings an unsparing lyricism to a difficult topic. The question she answers with this story is one that can haunt at any age: what if you're cruel to someone and never get the chance to make it right? Ages 5–8. Agent: Charlotte Sheedy Literary Agency. Illustrator's agent: Dwyer & O'Grady. (Oct.)
The ripples of human kindness
The creators of The Other Side and the Caldecott Honor-winning Coming on Home Soon team up again in another beautifully illustrated picture book that touches hearts and minds.
Just as snow falls on young Chloe's community, a new girl named Maya appears at the door of her classroom. The first things Chloe notices are Maya's ragged coat and broken springtime shoes. When Maya takes the seat next to Chloe and smiles, Chloe looks away without returning the smile—that day and every day after.
Jacqueline Woodson's poetic narration and E.B. Lewis' stunning watercolors, which use light, shadow and perspective for dramatic effect, capture the hurt feelings as Chloe and her friends whisper secrets and snub Maya's attempts at friendship. One day Maya stops asking to play and jumps rope alone. The next day her seat is empty, the same day that teacher Ms. Albert drops a stone into a bowl of water, and the children watch as waves ripple away. "This is what kindness does, Ms. Albert said. Each little thing we do goes out, like a ripple, into the world."
While each classmate drops a stone into the water and recalls a kind act, such as helping with a baby brother's diaper or carrying the teacher's books, Chloe can't think of one act of kindness she has done lately. When she discovers that Maya will not be returning, she laments her missed opportunities to be kind to her classmate. A lesser author would have made this a didactic moment. In Woodson's soft, lyrical tone, Chloe's dilemma becomes an occasion for personal reflection. From now on, when they watch water ripple, readers of Each Kindness will ponder their own gifts to the world and the splash they can make.

Neon Tetra's not really feeding? any ideas?
I have a 55 gallon "main tank" and a small 5 gallon tank i have sitting on my desk. I had a huge ick episode a couple months back in the main tank and lost all my fish , so i set up this small tank as a hospital/quarantine tank.
I let it cycle, and added a few fish. Figured id keep them in here for 3-4 weeks and If they are all healthy transfer them to my 55 gallon.
5 Neon tetra's
1 cory cat (to eat the junk left behind)
I lost 2 Tetra's, not sure if it was due to stress or just weak pet store fish so i have
3 tetras
1 cory cat
The tetras usually just Hang out with eachother and swim mid tank.
Ive been using omega one fish flakes, and the flakes would just float right in front of them, they wouldnt even nibble at it...So i tried crunching up and making them smaller, still didnt show any interest in the flakes...
I read online that Slow floating pellets are a lil better for them since they usually just catch the leftovers..So i bought some cichlid slow floating pellets, This seemed to do a little better, but after feeding them today, they just let them float on by...
Im assuming this is unusual behavoir.
Checked water condition and they are good?

What are your current water parameters in that tank?
New fish might not eat for a day or 2 once they're in a new environment - they might hide too. The stress of being moved from the store to a new tank can kill a fish as well if it's not done slowly enough.
those questions are perfect
personally, i recommend this:
do decrease the risk of bad fish when purchasing, i wait 3 days (min) after the store gets their stock in. this allows for the weak fish to get bought/die off. it sounds cruel-ish...but i'd rather purchase the stronger ones. with this method, i've lost maybe 3 fish in the past 6months setting up my current stock.
Food is not the problem and my guess would be the tank was the cycled, the filtration is not adequate, the heat is too high or something else is going on. But it's hard to know because we are low of details here. Neon's do not like the heat very high.
The cycle would be my guess.
I agree with all the above, just want to add that I have learned from people here and personally working from the advice given that if I float a bag on the top of the tank then release the fish some will die over the first couple of days I now put the bag in a bucket of warm water with a heater, run a small tube with a tap on it into the bag and tie the top. I then set the tap to drip water into the bag for about 90 minutes. Since using this method I have only lost a couple of fish in the last 3 months
