UAB Academic/Administrative Compensation Guidelines FY12
June 2011
As we continue to assess how to best invest limited institutional resources, it is imperative that we implement and promote to UAB-wide employee compensation practices that effectively support our most important asset, our workforce. To assist our academic and administrative units with these decisions, the following Compensation Guidelines are provided for the FY12 budget year:
- Faculty Promotions
- Faculty promotions may be funded if endorsed by the appropriate College/School, Dean, or Library Director.
- Merit Increases
- UAB is making available a merit-based salary option to reward performance and keep UAB salaries competitive.
- Each College/School/Unit electing to participate must submit a merit-based, salary increase "Plan" for review and approval to the Provost/VPFAA no later than 7/15/2011. UAB's institutional target is for College/Schools/Units to submit Plans with a minimum 3% pool for merit-based distribution among faculty and staff ( funding is available). Plans should include total salary pool dollars to be made available (with % of total salary base this represents), planned ranges for individual increases (e.g. 1-5%), and planned distribution strategy (e.g. 20% of merit recipients to receive 5%, 40% to receive 2-4%, etc) All Plans should identify appropriate sources of sustainable funding.
- College/School/Unit Plans may also include market equity considerations as part of allocation and distribution methodologies. Each College/School/Unit considering a Plan with market equity component should fully discuss with HR before submitting.
- All Plans must require that individual, merit-based salary increases align with level of performance reflected in annual evaluations.
- Individual salary increases of more than 10% under Plan will require prior Provost/Vice President for Finance and Administration (VPFAA) approval.
- Effective Dates
- With the exception of the School of Medicine and Joint Health Sciences, merit pool increases for all colleges/schools and administrative areas will be effective on 10/1/2011 for faculty and monthly paid staff and 9/25/11 for bi-weekly paid staff.
- In order to better align with UAB Medicine, the School of Medicine and Joint Health Sciences will be able to submit Plans that implement merit increases effective 1/1/12 for monthly and bi-weekly paid faculty and staff.
- Fixed Increment Payments (FIP)
- Requests for FIPs will be considered for FY12. FIPs are one-time, non-recurring lump sum salary payments used in limited cases where an employee is at or above the pay range maximum and a merit-based payment is justified. FIPs may also be used to reward individual performance in unique or unusual significant special projects of limited duration that require extensive time and effort above and beyond regularly assigned job duties (note: a 12-month payment distribution schedule may be required for employees receiving FIPs that are funded on federally-sponsored projects).
- FIP recommendations must be submitted to the Office of the Provost/VPFAA no later than 7/15/2011. Approved FIPs will be effective 10/1/2011.
- Pay Ranges
- UAB General Pay Range Structure will be adjusted effective 1/1/12 to better align with current market conditions.
- Faculty Ranges will not change for FY12.
- Incentive Plans
- Previously-established compensation incentive plans must be submitted for recertification as required by existing UAB incentive program guidelines by 7/15/2011.
- New incentive plan proposals must be submitted by 7/15/2011 to be considered for implementation in FY12.
- Please refer to the UAB incentive program guidelines for further information.
- Lateral Transfers
- Salary adjustments for lateral transfers greater than 10% should be submitted/reviewed by HR with support/approval by the applicable College/School/Department VP, Dean, or Library Director. HR will review and submit to the appropriate UAB senior administrator (Provost/VPFAA) for final approval.
- New Hires
- New hires may proceed in accordance with established UAB and departmental policies provided funding is available. New Hires do not require HR approval if within the pay range.
- New Positions/Position Reclassifications
- New positions/reclassifications may be requested under established HR procedures. New positions/reclassification will be reviewed by HR Compensation to determine the appropriate job title for the position. These requests require approval from the applicable College/School/Department VP, Dean or Library Director. Please note: once a position has been reviewed for reclassification, it is not eligible for review again for a minimum of 12 months.
- Retention Salary Adjustments
- Retention salary adjustments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Initial review and approval is required from the College/School/Department VP, Dean, or Library Director. Once approval is obtained, departments should submit the request and approval to HR if the request if greater than 10%. HR will review and submit to the appropriate UAB senior administrator (Provost/VPFAA) for final approval.
- Salary Adjustments
- Salary Adjustments for probationary, job rate and establish step rate programs (including graduate assistantships/stipend increases, resident progression and student salary adjustments) may proceed in accordance with established UAB and departmental policies provided funding is available. These adjustments must be funded by College/School/Department and approved by the appropriate VP, Dean or Library Director.
- Supplemental Duties – Additional Pay
- Requests for additional compensation for supplemental duties must be approved by the College/School/Unit VP, Dean, or Library Director prior to submission for HR review. Please note: additional/supplemental duties should be temporary in nature (less than 6 months).
The following list summarizes the review and approval process for FY12 compensation actions:
VP/Dean/Library Director Approval only. Requires no review by HR:
- Graduate assistantship with annual stipend increase
- Lateral transfer with increase of less than 10%
- New hire with proposed salary within the pay grade
- Lateral increase less than 10%
- Probationary increase less than 10%
- Resident progression increase
- Salary share adjustment between two or more funding sources where the total salary does not change (e.g. HSF/UAB/VA/UABHS)
- Staff promotion less than 15% or to range minimum
- Student salary adjustment
VP/Dean/Library Director Approval after initial review/approval by HR:
- Probationary increase greater than 10%
- Reclassifications
- Requests for new positions
- Staff promotions greater than 15% if higher than range minimum
- Supplemental duties additional pay
UAB senior administrator (Provost/VPFAA) approval after full HR review/approval and endorsement by appropriate VP/Dean/Director:
- Faculty promotions
- FIPs
- Incentive Plans – new or previously approved
- Lateral transfers with increases of 10% or more
- Merit-based salary increase Plan (including any market equity component)
- Retention salary adjustments greater than 10%
Any questions or concerns regarding these guidelines should be directed to your HR Representative or HR Compensation.

Deburr the block & heads. Use a file/deburring blade/die-grinder on casting-flash and sharp edges. There is often quite a bit of casting flash around oil drain passages.
If you don't have a set of engine cleaning brushes, get some. (About $30-$40.)
After washing the block, I use paper towels and ATF (auto trans fluid) to wipe down the cylinders and bearing journals.
Make sure your assembly area is spotless.
Wash your components with mild soap and warm water after they come back from the machine shop. Even if the shop did a second cleaning, there will still be pieces of ground iron stuck in block passages and crank oil holes. Blow dry with clean(filtered) air, and wrap componenets in engine bags(heavy duty contractors bags work well) to prevent moist air from causing rust to start on your fresh parts.
Measure everything twice, write it all down in a small note book, not scraps of paper that can get lost just when you need them.
Degree your camshaft, it is a neccesary part of building a high perfromance engine. Theres a reason every professional builder performs this task on every motor they assemble.
Do research on the parts you intend to buy, whether they be new or used. Saving $20 on a Chinese part may bite you in the ***. Buying used parts unseen can be risky, so ask the seller for lots of pictures and as much info as possible.
Theres a lot more, but this will give you a start
I get anal and do that chit looking for a horse here and there.
In addition to the pocket porting and port matching and clearance around the intake valve, some things include:
Carb is milled and blended. Note that the "dead zone" at the interface of the air cleaner base and carb has been filled with a piece of rubber cable and sealed into place to smooth this transition. Also note the "nose cone" at the transition of the screw and post. There is actually a piece of heat shrink tubing that covers the treads from the wing nut (bottom of the air cleaner top) all the way down to the carb completely covering (and blending) the centerpost.
The intake itself has been internally "massaged" to get rid of the casting ridges as well as smooth out the divider and provide a smoother airflow. The 1/2" spacer is ported and blended to the manifold. Even more work was done after the pics were snapped.
When the manifold is installed, I lay it in place and using a stiff wire, I "feel" the transition and shift the manifold around to get this the smoothest. I then use a marker to mark this alignment so that after I do the gaskets and China wall, I can just lay it into the proper place without shifting it around.
I even do things like putting multiple coats of ceramic-bearing paint on the base of the air cleaner to reduce heat transfer.
When my block was prepared, it was actually clearanced for the intake valves. I don't see many do this anymore.
My combination makes ~350 crank hp and I get about 290-300 at the wheels:
331 CI, pump-friendly 9.5:1 CR

|if the tolerance is at the loose end on one rod bearing clearance and not any others how would you fix that? would need a crank job on all rods right?
|painted jester
The biggest thing is to match parts, Either build it for bottom end power or mid range or high rpm!!! Don't mix a low rpm cam with a high rpm intake Etc, Etc! Same with your drive train! Match your torque convertor to your flash torque, If you don't it will eat up your torque! final Gear ratio and tire diameter can do the same!
The next is to blue print, Stock Or High performance it makes no difference a good blue print build will bring power out of hiding!! If you set one rod bearing at .001 set them all at .001 (or as close as possible) If a manual says rod bearing clearance .0005 to .003 that means .0005 is new engine tolerance and .003 is just at the wore out point and passable! If you get a bearing reading of .0029 across all the rod bearings when assembling you just built an engine on the point of being wore out, same with ring gaps , mains, etc. a good balance helps a lot! Anything that is parasitic that you can reduce the drain of H.P. like a large heavy big pitch fan, water pump, H.P. draining alternator, heavy pulley's, Heavy dope, heavy oil ETC,ETC! Don't install a high pressure oil pump if its not needed the higher the pressure the more engine torque and H.P. it takes to drive it! Too high an ohm plug wire can rob H.P.! There are many things you can do to bring out H.P. and torque! Re curving the distributor, advancing or retarding the cam, lightening the valve train, The right headers, and porting or not porting depending on RPM and scavenging ability ( sometimes small ports perform better then large) in some combinations! Reducing internal friction like oil windage, Crank case ventilation! Etc,Etc, There is much more Like the weight of the car and whether you need high torque to get it moving or high rpm for speed!
I was just curious what people do to their engines as their putting it together. Not looking for help with my car atm.
@ Falcon yep! I've been looking at all of that. I've got about 250 lb's taken off my car and 10 lb's lost on myself for a total of 260 :V!
Think of this question similarly to "how would you spend your next day off?"
"How/What do you like doing to your engine when you build it". Just trying to get ideas to throw around with my dad.
|Falcon Wagon
|You can make all the HP in the world but unless you can get it to the road it's useless.You have to look at the hole package not just the engine.A lot of people put all kinds of money in the engines and think they are going to go fast I wish it was that easy.Take a good look at the spark plug wires you want believe how much of a diffidence they can make
|I would NOT do what the link you posted shows unless you are working on a $10 lawnmower. What kind of engine and what do you intend to use it for? Rear end gears? Transmission?
Alot has to do with what you are doing with the car the motor is in.
Port matching is helpful but really not necessary if the car is just a streeter/ partime racer.
Using say, Edelbrock aluminum heads with a matching intake is a good start. Having a good ignition like MSD, Mallory or choice of others. Cams are the biggest thing you want to get right. Having the right cam for the motor is critical .
I would really go talk to a local machine shop who builds horsepower motors. It won't cost you anything but time.They will ask you lots of quetions and what you answer will give you ideas of just how you want to go about building this motor.
As far as oil temps go ,there are many oil coolers on the market that are available. You have to be making monster HP to be worried about oil temps.
Looking for tips and useful info
So just out of curiosity. What are things you guys do that you think/know will help improve the performance of your engine when you are building it. I'm not talking machine work per se but cleaning up your intake runners and port matching etc would be included. Anything at all really would be nice to hear. No matter how small if it helps it helps.
Has anyone ever tried the singh groves?
Somender SINGH: Squish Zone Grooves: 20%+ improved performance of IC Engines -- 3 articles & US Patent
I myself Am going to try my hand at port matching, cleaning the head intake runners, file fitting the piston rings and testing them, cleaning the intake, and attempting to fab a ram air design for my hood. Thought about trying to setup something to control oil temp but that seems way to difficult for me right atm.

Facilitator/Educator Guide: Plop, Plop, Fizz Fast: The Effect of Temperature on Reaction Time
Have you ever seen bubbles form when an Alka-Seltzer tablet is dropped into water? Have you wondered how the water's temperature affects how quickly those bubbles form? Find out using Alka-Seltzer tablets, jars or drinking glasses, ice cubes, and a stopwatch or timer.
Background Information
Alka-Seltzer® is a medical drug that works as a pain reliever and an antacid (antacids help neutralize stomach acidity — e.g., heartburn). The pain reliever used is aspirin and the antacid used is baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3).
To take the tablets, you should fully dissolve them in a glass of water, where they famously undergo a chemical reaction that produces lots of carbon dioxide (CO2) bubbles. As the tablets dissolve, the sodium bicarbonate splits apart to form bicarbonate (HCO3-). This reacts with hydrogen (H+) from citric acid, another ingredient in the tablets. This chemical reaction forms water and carbon dioxide gas.
Equation 1. When Alka-Seltzer tablets are dissolved in water, bicarbonate forms (from the sodium bicarbonate), which in turn reacts with hydrogen (from citric acid) to form water and carbon dioxide gas.
For the reaction to occur, however, the bicarbonate must come into contact with the hydrogen in just the right way. The probability of the bicarbonate and hydrogen doing this is affected by temperature: the higher the temperature, the faster the molecules move; the lower the temperature, the slower they move.
In this science activity, students will use Alka-Seltzer tablets, water at two different temperatures, and a stopwatch to investigate how temperature affects the speed of the bicarbonate reaction.
For Discussion
This science activity can serve as a starting point for a variety of science and health discussions. Here are a few examples of questions that can be used to start a discussion:
- What ingredients make Alka-Seltzer work as a pain reliever and an antacid?
- How do you think hot water will change the speed of the bicarbonate reaction compared to cold water?
- How do antacids work?
- What other factors beside temperature can affect how well a chemical reaction takes place?
- What other reactions can you think of that temperature affects?
Needed for preparing ahead:
- Clear jars (2 for each demo or small group). They should be identical. Clear drinking glasses, plastic cups, bottles, or vases can also be substituted.
- Ice cubes (enough to fill one of the jars or other receptacles you are using halfway for each demo or small group)
- Cold tap water (enough to fill one of the jars nearly full for each demo or small group)
- Spoon (1)
- Hot tap water (enough to fill a jar nearly full for each demo or small group)
- Optional: Thermos bottle (1)
- Alternative Version: For a more colorful and engaging activity turn each reaction into a home-made lava lamp. The rate of the Alka-Seltzer's effervescence will dictate the rate of colored bubbles ascending the lava lamp. To do this version, you will also need to include the following materials:
- Vegetable oil (enough to fill two bottles/jars nearly full for each demo or small group)
- Food coloring (10 drops)
- A way to make one bottle/jar hot and one cold, such as by using a large bowl with hot water (enough to fill the bowl) and a refrigerator or freezer (1)
- Knife (1)
- Cutting board (1)
- Alka-Seltzer tablet (1)
- Note: For the most visual impact choose tall jars or empty clear plastic 1-liter or 2-liter bottles. You only need a small amount of the cold tap water and hot tap water — enough to fill each bottle/jar with 1-2 inches of water.
Needed for each demo or small group at the time of the science activity:
- Alka-Seltzer tablets (2). Alternatively, any generic brand effervescent tablets containing citric acid and sodium bicarbonate should work.
- Jar, drinking glass, or vase with hot water (1)
- Jar, drinking glass, or vase with ice-cold water (1)
- Timer or clock that shows seconds (1)
- Alternative Version: For the lava lamp version the jars/bottles should not be filled full of water. Instead each bottle should have 1-2 inches of colored water and then be filled nearly full with vegetable oil. One bottle should be hot and one should be cold. You will also want to quarter the Alka-Seltzer tablets to avoid having them float to the top of the bottles.
|Figure 1. You need only a few simple household materials to do this fun science activity.
What to Do
Prepare Ahead (< 10 minutes)
- For each demo or small group, fill one of the jars, drinking glasses, or vases halfway with ice cubes.
|Figure 2. For each group or small demo, fill a jar halfway with ice cubes.
- Add cold tap water to the jar with ice cubes to about an inch from the rim. Use the spoon to stir the ice cubes in the jar for about a minute so that the temperature equilibrates.
- Also for each demo or small group, add hot tap water to the second, empty jar till about an inch from the rim. If you do not begin the activity immediately after preparing it, store the hot water in a thermos bottle until you are ready.
|Figure 3. For each group or small demo, prepare one jar with ice water and a second jar with hot tap water.
- Immediately before doing the activity, use the spoon to remove the ice cubes from the ice-water jar.
- Alternative Version: If you want to do this activity using the lava lamp setup you will need to make a few modifications. Fill each bottle/jar with 1-2 inches of water, add 5 drops of food coloring to each bottle, and then fill the bottles at least three-quarters full with vegetable oil. To do the activity, you will need to somehow make one prepared bottle be hot and one cold. (For example, to make one hot you could let it sit in a large bowl of hot water, and to make one cold you could store it in a refrigerator or freezer.) Cut an Alka-Seltzer tablet into quarters. Only two quarter pieces are needed for the activity, but having additional pieces can be useful.
Science Activity (< 10 minutes)
- Each classroom demo or small group should have two intact Alka-Seltzer tablets, one jar with ice-cold water, one jar with hot water, and a timer or clock that shows seconds.
- Have students work in pairs.
- Ask one student to drop a tablet in the jar with hot water while the second student times how long it takes for the tablet to disappear. There is a data table in the Student Guide that they may use to record their data. Ask students to make observations and report their data.
|Figure 4. Have one student drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet in the jar while the second student times how long it takes for the tablet to disappear.
|Figure 5. If you do the alternative version using vegetable oil and food coloring, the students' bottles should look similar to this one. Students should use one quarter of an Alka-Seltzer tablet with this setup, to prevent the tablet from floating to the top, and time how long the tablet piece takes to disappear. As the tablet piece dissolves bubbles will form, pushing the colored water up through the oil layer. The effect will look like a home-made lava lamp.
|Figure 6. Have students watch the jar until the tablet completely dissolves.
- Now have one student drop a tablet in the jar with the ice cold water while the second student times how long it takes for the tablet to disappear. Again, ask students to make observations and report their data.
- Alternative version: If doing the lava lamp version the groups should drop a quarter of a tablet into each vegetable oil and colored water bottle. This will prevent the tablet from floating to the top of the oil layer and ensure that students get the full lava lamp effect. Note that the tablet piece may take a moment to sink through the vegetable oil to reach the water, where it will react. Have students start timing as soon as the tablet piece reaches the water and starts reacting.
Expected Results
When the Alka-Seltzer tablet was added to the hot water, the tablet should have quickly dissolved, taking around 20 to 30 seconds to do so, depending on the exact temperature. When the tablet was added to the ice-cold water, it should have taken much longer to dissolve, with most of the tablet dissolving after about two to three minutes, but with some bubbles (from the tablet's remains) still apparent after six minutes or longer. In the hot water, the tablet should have more vigorously produced bubbles than in the cold water. The higher the temperature, the faster the molecules move, and the more likely it is that bicarbonate will contact hydrogen in just the right way for the chemical reaction to occur and produce carbon dioxide bubbles.
Alternative Version: If the home-made lava lamp setup was used the same difference in rate of reaction should have been observed. In addition, the bubbles formed in water layer during the reaction should have floated to the top, looking like colorful blobs as they moved through the oil layer and then burst at the top (releasing the carbon dioxide gas), and then the blobs of food coloring should have sunk back to the bottom (now empty of the carbon dioxide gas). The effect should have been reminiscent of a lava lamp.
For Further Exploration
This science activity can be expanded or modified in a number of ways. Here are a few options:
- Test Alka-Seltzer tablets in a wider range of temperatures, and then graph the time it takes a tablet to dissolve in water at each temperature (checked with a thermometer) to better understand how temperature affects the chemical reaction. What temperature change is required to increase the reaction time by a factor of two? What about decreasing the reaction time by a factor of two?
- Students could investigate how the surface area of the Alka-Seltzer tablets affects the chemical reaction by breaking the tablets into pieces. If there is a greater surface area (i.e., a tablet is broken up into more pieces), does the same amount of tablet result in the reaction happening faster or slower?
- For an advanced challenge, have students repeat this activity several times to see how much variation their results have, then calculate the standard deviation. (Check the temperatures using a thermometer.) How much variation is there for the reaction time at a given temperature?

If you want to go inside the Civil War Library and Museum take this tour Thursday through Saturday.
William Penn laid out this immensely walkable city in five squares, including Rittenhouse, originally a pasture for livestock. Rittenhouse Square became a fashionable address in the mid-1800s and has been so ever since.
Start at the (1) northeast corner of the square at 18th and Walnut Streets and stroll down the pathway, admiring the greenery and rotating art shows. Exit on 19th Street, cross Spruce, and turn right on (2) DeLancey, one of the toniest residential streets in the city.
Proceed to the (3) Rosenbach Museum & Library (2008 and 2010 DeLancey; www.rosenbach.org) located in a pair of posh townhouses once owned by the Rosenbach brothers, collectors of rare books. Today, literary history lives there, most notably the original James Joyce manuscript of Ulysses, with the author's notes scribbled in the margins.
Exit the museum, turn right on DeLancey, then right on 20th, then left on Pine Street. Go to the (4) Civil War Library and Museum (1805 Pine Street; www.cwurmuseum.org) with war memorabilia from rank-and-file soldiers to General Ulysses S. Grant, who briefly lived in Philadelphia.
Leave the museum, heading left on Pine, then left on 18th. Visit the (5) Philadelphia Art Alliance at 251 South 18th Street, where art, poetry, and dance coexist in a 1906 palazzo. Cross the street and stroll back into the square and walk back to the northeast corner. Pause to admire the (6) 1832 French bronze "Lion Crushing a Serpent" at 18th and Walnut Streets.

let me explain. when i listen to psytrance especially dark psy. i got into another world like state sometimes. well with dark ambient its way different. i start thinking in my brain. of different worlds. different dimensions. and life in them. most of them though is very dark worlds. not too long ago. i was laying in bed. with dark ambient on and thinking about life. in a world were everything is dead. no life but so what ever. just death. and thats just one world. its like gears in my mind. i keep thinking of all these places. some worlds were humans are all skeletons. some i will not even go into details way to graphic. but the music is giving me a strange feeling i am not used to. relaxing i put the music on and lay down. and i just lay there and think all day. i just woke up lol. been in bed since 8 am its 7 pm right now. any ways have you guys ever had any music do this to you where. you just think about strange and odd things?
the music to me is so beautiful. its not just beats and thats it. its all music that put your mind in a feeling of being lost. which i like >.< a feeling of like you are not alone but can see no one else is around. you just think. i tried regular ambient i did not like it. i like the sound and feeling dark ambient gives me. i start playing it from the time i wake up till bed time. so which is all day long.

It is hard to switch off sometimes. But sleep is something truly glorious and with the right preparation, a more restful night can be yours.
1 in 3 American adults have a sleep problem.
Are You Getting Enough Sleep?
- Do you feel lethargic?
- Do you have problems falling asleep (it takes you more than 30 minutes)?
- Do you wake up frequently?
- Do you experience mood swings that make you feel cranky, sad or stressed?
Answered yes to any of these questions?
You may need more sleep!
Why Sleep is So Important
Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake.
Try to keep a consistent schedule.
Switch off and make your bedroom a tech-fee zone.
Excerise regularly.
Talk to your doctor before beginning or revising any exercise regimen.
Keep things dark and quiet.
Try a sleep aid, like SIMPLY SLEEP® from the makers of TYLENOL® PM. When used as directed, SIMPLY SLEEP® is non-habit forming.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by agalisgv, Mar 10, 2010.
They're saying drug overdose
Sad, but no surprise. He's been circling the drain for some time now. Too bad, he was so young.
He was so troubled, this wasn't unexpected, but it's so sad.
There always seems to be so many people around when these kid stars are making coin, but once they get into trouble, no one seems to be around...IIRC he was on True Hollywood Story a few years back, and his parents had pretty much written him off.
Drugs are bad, mmkay?
So sad.
I know this was not unexpected. But there are so many young celebrities out there who are in similar situations. How many really talented young people have died tragically, from accidental overdoses, in the last several months/years? This is incredibly sad, and sadder still because we can probably expect others to die in the same manner. I know that "show business" is a tough industry and life, but isn't anyone paying attention to these young, vulnerable people? I also know this happens to "ordinary" people as well, and we just don't hear about it. Is it me, or is dying from drug overdoses becoming more common? Is it that it was covered up in the past? It's just so senseless and sad. Are we fooling ourselves with D.A.R.E. programs? Probably . What does it take to really teach kids about drugs? How do we make them understand that it's not always something you can just try or do occasionally? There are even new reports out about marijuana use. That frequent use can cause chronic psychosis. As in paranoia so intense that it looks like what John Nash experienced.
Hopefully now he is at peace. Thanks for the memories. R.I.P.
It's really hard, being a former child star. A friend of mine is a former child star - he'd worked under an assumed name, so he's able to just be himself now. He was big back in the 1980s, though. Kind of a tiny heartthrob. He was actually kind of lucky - his career was longer than that of most kids, as he worked until he was around age 19, transitioning from child star to teen heartthrob.
He's told me that it was really, really hard, when that "transition" time came. It's not that he didn't want to keep acting - its that he was no longer offered the roles, because he wasn't that cute boy-turned hot teen any longer. And it's not that he doesn't have the chops - he does. He's seriously good. But... really, by the time he was of a certain age, his career was over. He did, in his 20's, change his acting name to his real name, and he did work in theater as any journeyman actor might, but he never got back to what he had as a kid in film and tv. He's now retired from acting, doing other things, but to be honest, he's kind of messed up. He's a great guy, sweet as heck, but he's troubled.
He's told me that growing up on film and tv, drugs were *everywhere*. He was exposed to stuff that most of us have never even heard of until we're nearly adults, and he saw it as normal by age 8, because on set, it *was* normal. IMO, it'd take one extremely involved and grounded parent to keep a kid on track through all that, and a very supportive, sane, and grounded group of actors and etc. around him. The likelihood of having all that fall into place...
(((your friend))). I understand what you're saying, and know it's all true. What is really awful is that it's accepted. And aren't the terms "grounded parent" and "child star parent", by definition a contradiction? The "stage" parents I dealt with, when I worked in advertising, would give you nightmares. And it's not just "show business", I've seen it in modeling, skating, other sports, many fields where your career is over as a teen. It seems that society eats them up and spits them out when they are no longer what they want.
This is so sad, but as others have said, not unexpected. I just hate to hear it. When you have someone who is so obviously troubled, you are rooting for them to overcome their problems and when you hear that they've passed away, it's so disappointing. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I always keep hoping for the best for people like Corey, and sometimes it happens, but most often it doesn't. Such a tragically short life. He was about my age, and it makes me get all morbid and wonder how much time I have left.
Thanks for the memories. R.I.P. Corey.
(((((((((((Lucas))))))))))) I loved that movie.
At that point, who could blame them?
There is problem with the expectations of that generation . . . my generation . . . so sad
I still remember him from Lucas.
oh my gosh!! That is horrible!!
My thoughts are with his family right now and i hope he has peace where he is now. I know from reading and watching the reality show that he had many problems.
Well, considering that he wouldn't have had stardom (and the problems that came from it) at an early age without their involvement or at least consent, probably a lot of people.
I'm sad to hear he lost his battle with drug addiction, if it is what is being reported.
Its unfortunate, but I barbtoob, I think drug addiction just doesn't effect our generation. It effects all generations. My grandparent's generations, they died of drug overdoses too. Its a personality and probably a genetic issue. Some people's personality and maybe genetic makeup are more prone to addiction than others.
OMG, I forgot he was Lucas! I remember that movie well. Awww...
Yep. I said to a friend just the other day that they should change our name from Generation X to Generation Effed.
So sad.
License to Drive is one of my fave movies.
sad. and totally not unexpected, which to me sort of makes it sadder. if even non-famous people sort of saw this one coming, you would think someone out there would have tried to reach out to him. maybe they did though, who knows?
I watched a few episodes of "The Two Corey's" where he was living with Corey Feldman and his wife, and it seemed like Feldman did plenty of reaching out. The unfortunate thing is that you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
It was sadly inevitable. I wonder if the Oscars will snub him too. RIP Corey, I had a monster crush on you when I was 12.
I'm sad to hear this. I knew he was a child actor but only saw him on "Thirtysomething" where he played Melissa's younger (but adult) boyfriend.
Such a well-made movie. I can watch it over and over.
I couldn't even watch that Two Coreys. The clips I saw just looked too tragic.
Poor Corey. Such a sad life
ITA. There were just different drugs, and also there wasn't the same help/recognition for addiction problems that there is now (and while that isn't even close to being enough, at least it exists). So in some ways things were even worse.
May he RIP....
Addition is such a terrible thing to beat.
I'm pretty sure that was Corey Parker, no?
The name is familiar but those movie titles and shows don't ring a bell. But then again I wasn't in the country in the 80s. Anything that he'd done in the 90s that was famous?


text: my name is josh and i've been intrigued by boba fett costuming and prop building for quite while now. i'm 34 years old and live in kansas city, mo. looking forward to soaking up lots of info on here, as time goes on. i was browsing for reference photos the other day when i came across the site. i had a little project in mind and needed some good pics of what i was shooting for. my idea was to paint the side view mirrors on my car to resemble boba fett's shoulder armor. and for a first-time attempt at anything like this, i'm pretty happy with how they turned out. although, they may not be completely screen accurate, i'm pleased. and as i went on, i found the more damage i added, the better i liked them. i think i'm now ready to start collecting parts and trying my hand at a full blown costume. i'm not so intimidated by it now that i've tried this little experiment.

Mike Tyson sues Live Nation over embezzlement
Mike Tyson is suing a financial services firm affiliated with Live Nation, claiming it cost him more than $5 million due to a former employee's embezzlement and mismanagement.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles claims an adviser from SFX Financial Advisory Management Enterprises embezzled more than $300,000 from the former heavyweight boxing champ. The suit claims the losses hindered Tyson and his wife from emerging from bankruptcy.
SFX is a subsidiary of Live Nation Entertainment Inc.
The case claims Tyson and his wife lost millions more by having to hire new attorneys and advisers to handle their financial affairs, and they had to turn down lucrative contracts.
Messages left for a Live Nation spokeswoman and at the Washington, D.C., offices of SFX were not immediately returned.

Studio Mixers Information
Professional Recording Studio Audio Mixers:
Studio mixing consoles are designed to route and blend together multiple audio signals in a recording studio. Studio mixers are typically permanent installations in a recording studio and are designed to mix together signals to and from tape with dedicated channels for each audio signal. Studio mixers are equipped with auxiliary sends for "Parallel" based timed FX as well as "Inserts" for serial based dynamic FX.
Whether you're in the market for a compact 4-channel board for a simple session or an all-inclusive 24-channel digital mixer for a full studio session with several musicians, Sonic Electronix has got you covered. Many people don't realize what effect having a quality mixer can have on the signal, but truly every link in the signal chain has an effect albeit not always perceivable.
In addition to the effect your recording studio mixer can have on your signal, just think of the drastic effect it could have on your workflow. If you take the time to learn your gear, you'll no longer have to spend lots of time hunched over your keyboard making adjustments with a mouse; you'll be able to mix and master much faster with your assortment of faders, knobs and buttons. Many mixers are compatible with a variety of DAWs, so if you invest the time, your reward will be great. Aside from advanced signal routing features, studio mixers often feature multiple output options such as: direct outs, and buses.

The Seattle house called Ballard Cut takes its name from a waterway that connects the city's Lake Washington to Puget Sound. And while views toward the water—and to the Olympic Peninsula beyond—define the house's primary orientation, a set of train tracks close to the inland property line firmly reinforce that focus. The program for the kitchen, project designer Dan Wickline explains, balanced two imperatives: "opening to the view and blocking the sound."
Sharing its troweled-in-place concrete floor with the east-facing entry foyer, the kitchen bends in an L that lines the south and east walls of the house's central great room. "We set the kitchen up 6 inches," Wickline says, "so you have full access to the view, and you're very connected to the living and dining areas." The dropped floor allows bar-height seating at the dining room side without a separate, taller counter, he notes. "It's cleaner that way, and it also gives definition to the two spaces." High windows above the main counter's wall cabinets admit light from the south, while dodging views of a neighboring house. Floor-to-ceiling glass lines the west wall, where slide-fold doors create a wide opening to an elevated deck.
A concrete surface forms the counters of the main island and the separate wine bar. "It's the same color pigment in the floor and counter, but the aggregate is rougher on the floor and finer at the counter," says Wickline, who took care to avoid overdoing the "waterfall" effect of wrapping the countertops down to meet the floor. "We chose where we did it," he says. "We didn't do it everywhere." Sapele custom cabinetry subtly contrasts with the laminated Douglas fir flooring in the dining and living areas, where a glass panel affords a view into the basement-level wine cellar. "In the evening, with the lights on," Wickline says, "you get this glow from below."
Ballard Cut's second-floor master suite offers even more dramatic views than those from the living areas below it, and a green roof over the lower volume adds further interest. Project designer Dan Wickline's primary challenge lay in defining function areas without blocking channels to that view, all while striking the appropriate balance between openness and privacy.
Bathing in the bedroom is a binary decision; there are those who like it and those who emphatically do not. Ballard Cut's owners are in the former camp, and Wickline obliged by locating a tub at the window wall, where the view angles are widest. Set in a concrete plaster base, and positioned as a hinge point between the bedroom and bathroom, it promotes soaking as a social pursuit. "From the bathroom, it feels like the tub is part of the bathroom, but it's also open to the bedroom," Wickline says. "You can access the tub from both spaces."
The bathroom proper begins simply enough, with a twin-sink lavatory, a walk-in shower, and a toilet compartment, all in a boxlike container. But Wickline's removal of strategic elements of that box yields a strikingly deconstructed space. The sink wall ends at mid-span, leaving the zebrawood-framed mirror and lavatory cabinet (both supported by hidden cantilevered steel structures) to continue without it, and opening a watery vista toward the west. The shower opens vertically, with a skylight larger than the shower itself. "So when you're in the shower and you look up," Wickline says, "you see nothing. It's just sky."

Find it Interesting that David was able to get away from the Marlins in the middle of the season when this was filmed back in June/July. And I'm glad that CBS is waiting till February 26th for its debut. Guess they knew going up against the Olympics, even if its taped delayed coverage was a bad idea.

Hi hope you find the following info useful:
I bought two zucchinis, one of which had a slightly bitter taste and the other didn't. The slightly bitter one caused gas and diarrhea twice (immediately after I ate it), but the non-bitter one was OK. I checked on internet and found out many other people had the same problem (probably due to the natural toxin cucurbitacins). The same applies to bitter cucumber.
Safe eating!

That's an UNBELIEVABLE Deal for a QUALITY Flashlight!
Grab As Many As You Can...
Passing AMAZING Deals DIRECTLY on to You...
I just LOVE it when I get a call from a supplier and they say something like, "Hey Steve, I got a problem. I have a bunch of extra 9 LED flashlights I need to move. Can you help?"
So, after a little back and forth, we agree on a price that even I couldn't believe I got! Soooooo - YOU get a jaw-droppin' deal on some fantastic 9 LED Flashlights! We're talking just $6.97 for a 9 LED Flashlight! We've never had 'em that cheap! Heck, I'm not sure anyone has ever had 'em that cheap! It's a knock-out deal, that's for sure!
Oh, and wait till you try 'em!
Turn it on BUT don't look into it - this baby is really BRIGHT!

Changing batteries or running out of juice is going to be a very RARE thing now! Oh, PLUS don't forget that you won't ever have to worry about the LEDs burning out - Even if you kept it on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it would take 11 YEARS before they would burn out!

Bees require proper nutrition to produce new bees and to increase
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Different protein sources contain different amino acid levels; and it's for this reason that a mixture of protein sources should be included in a pollen substitute. A correct amino acid balance is the key to efficient utilization of protein.
Protein quality is determined by its level of essential amino acids. A shortage of any one essential amino acid makes overall protein utilization by the bee less efficient. (Example: the bees require 4% Iso-leucine. If the current feed you are using only has 3% Iso-leucine, the bees can only utilize 75% of the available protein.

Before the clouds, webs, and distributed networks people had to create their own spaghetti of logic inside a single building using machinery that looked like props from Doctor Who. Spurred by the need to crack the 'Enigma' naval communication codes during the Second World War Alan Turing developed an electromechanical device called the Bombe which played a major part in defusing the war. 2012 is the 100 year anniversary of the birth of Turing and he is rightly considered to be the father of computer science and Artificial Intelligence. Turing had both a wonderful and terrible time of it and his life story is well worth a wiki.
The British genius didn't just advance computer science using valves and wires. He is almost as famous for his thought experiments concerning how we may build machines and computers that can engage in intelligent discourse with humans. Could machine responses fool us into thinking that they were sourced from a human? To answer this question Turing developed a methodology to test the validity of the machine generated responses, fans of Science Fiction are likely to recognize this as the inspiration behind the 'Voight-Kampff' test administered by Deckard in Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner.'

Marcus Paige didn't get much of an adjustment period as he learned to become Carolina's point guard.
Actually, he didn't get any adjustment period--Paige started the Tar Heels' first seven games of his freshman season. That's something very few of his point guard predecessors in the Williams era have had to do; the trio of Ty Lawson, Kendall Marshall and Bobby Frasor came off the bench in 24 of their combined 106 games played as freshmen. Of the three, only Frasor started every game in which he played.
So if even Lawson and Marshall, two of the best point guards in Carolina history, needed an opportunity to observe, it seems logical that it could be beneficial for Paige. Unexpectedly, that's what he was able to do on Saturday against UAB, as a shoulder problem forced him to miss a game for his first time as a Tar Heel.
"I'm honestly not sure exactly when it happened," Paige said yesterday. "I think I reached backwards to try and catch a ball on defense, but there really wasn't a specific incident with a sharp pain until after practice."
At Saturday's shootaround, Paige had trouble dribbling and passing, making it an easy decision to rest him.
But the Iowa native says his time on the bench might have been beneficial. In his first seven games, he was having to listen to the Tar Heel coaching staff and immediately make adjustments. He also faced the problem every basketball player in America encounters-even when it's coming from a Hall of Fame coach, sometimes it's difficult to fully grasp and implement the instructions your coach is giving you when there's no time to understand why he wants it done that particular way.
Forced to be only an observer, Paige had a few moments of clarity as Carolina dispatched the Blazers, 102-84.
"By sitting there, you can learn a lot about exactly what Coach is talking about," he said. "Sometimes he says things while you're on the court and you're like, 'What are you talking about?' But then you sit on the side and watch, and he's exactly right. You learn a lot just from watching.
"In practice, Coach had really been stressing playing with a greater sense of urgency, and I saw the difference that made when we did it. I saw some defensive lapses that were easier to see from the bench. And I saw the difference it made when we picked guys up earlier and were talking and communicating more on defense."
Williams was hopeful Paige might work back into practice on Wednesday, but before Tuesday's session, the freshman said his shoulder felt better and that he hoped to do more than expected in that afternoon's practice. His status for Carolina's next game will be determined after a busy week that includes not only basketball work, but the beginning of exams.
Forty minutes of study on a Saturday night doesn't necessarily mean Paige will turn into a different player when the Tar Heels host East Tennessee State on Saturday night, the lone game this season not on regular television (tickets are available, and all fans attending are asked to bring a toy for the Toys for Tots effort). As he thinks back over his first seven games, he knows there are certain plays and certain passes that he'd do differently if given the chance. Making those mistakes--he has 23 assists and 21 turnovers--are part of learning the speed of college basketball.
"When you make such a big jump from high school to college, it's a completely different game," he says. "We play four freshmen, and there are going to be times we make mistakes that juniors or seniors would never make. I've had a couple passes where I thought immediately, 'Oh, you can't make that pass in college.' But the fact that we're getting a lot of playing time early will help us tremendously down the road. We want to get to the point that we're playing like veterans later in the season."
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

Thomas Vermaelen has hailed his side's mentality after they claimed a hard-fought point at Everton on Wednesday night.
The Gunners took the lead through Theo Walcott's early strike, before Marouane Fellaini drew the hosts level with a fine effort from 20 yards.
Arsenal were put under real pressure in the second half, but held on for a share of the spoils to the satisfaction of their captain.
"Every time when you come here, you have to fight really hard for the points," Vermaelen told Arsenal Player. "You know it will be physical battle, with the likes of Fellaini and Jelavic up front.
"In the first minute we scored a good goal, and after that we dominated but gave them chances because we were a little bit sloppy with the ball. That was a bit disappointing.
"In the second half we were a little bit dangerous but didn't create too many chances. In the end we got a point, I don't know if we should be happy with that or not.
"Mentality-wise, there is nothing wrong with the team. Everybody works hard and there is no one who doesn't work for the team, and that will give you results. From that point of view I am very happy."

Hey there fellow fettheads! Well, I've been stressing about this over the last few days and have had some awesome advice from some truly awesome people! So thanks to RKD ,Deadland, the Phantom and Jayvee. Nice to have some of the best have got my back! All I need now is Rafalfett on board and im set!! Ha ha!
Anyway, I've done some misting with Humbrol Matt Black (33), and for the first time I saw it coming together! So later today, I started peeling all the masking off.... I was a bit shocked, maybe because I got used to seeing it in one colour and then BOOM! Here's some pics!
I think it needs some light sanding and then some more weathering to dull it down a little bit. But of course, please let me know if see something not right, I would like to get as accurate as I can but not to the point of pulling my hair out. Thanks everyone!

BENGHAZI! The scandal that wasn't. (TJDS)
The Benghazi attack has Fox News up in big white flabby arms. It's been a big non-stop Benghazi party since the attack occurred.

Thanks for that Rain. I put your link over on our FB page as well so that the folks over there can have a read of it as well.
Best wishes,
Thank you, Rain for doing my work, as I have not had a chance to even put together my schedule for ASCO. It is notable and quite exciting to see the 17 abstracts focused specifically on Cholangiocarcinoma. This is in stark contrast to six years ago when virtually nothing was mentioned. For those of you new to the world of Cholangiocarcinoma please know that strides have been made and that the statistics will reflect an increased overall survival with this disease as well as some curative intervention. We must continue to work hard and stay true to our motto to collaborate, support research, and most of all - continue to expand our patient community globally. We are in this together and together we can rid the world of this ugly disease.
Hugs to all,
Well said Marion! Seems to be more abstracts coming each year now for CC, good!!! And exciting as well to know that the stats are starting to head upwards now, lets hope that that trend continues. We will get there.
Amen Marion!

The equation for converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit is:ºF = (9/5) X ºC + 32 Looking at the equation we can see that, roughly speaking, 9/5 (or 1.8 ) almost doubles the Celsius temperature and then 32 is added to its product.
Well, yes of course it can be done on the internet using google or any of the other search engines, but what if you are, say, reading a magazine article or attending a beekeeping talk, etc. and you are away from your computer? What then?
Why not petition your government to switch with the rest of the Industrial world :roll: :D
I think the rest of the world should change to our way of doing things. :)
