TheCarConnection.com found that most automotive magazines and car enthusiast Web sites approve of the new Saab 9-3 Convertible's styling, which looks less "Saab-like" and closer to a European sports car in its latest iteration.
The new styling cue most "immediately apparent" is the front fascia of the Saab 9-3, says Car and Driver. "Borrowing heavily from Saab's Aero X concept, the new face does what every freshening hopes to accomplish--make the old car look seriously dated." According to Cars.com, the 9-3 Saab for 2008 sports "new wheel designs, a larger front grille, smaller side grilles and a more V-shaped hood." Autoblog reports that the matte chrome accents found on the 9-3 Saab's new nose section tone down the metal work, "allowing the redesigned grillework and headlamps to take the leading role."
Inside the sheetmetal of the 2008 Saab 9-3 Convertible, according to Motor Trend, "Scandinavian minimalism reigns." Industrial black replaces the gray color, and the Aero models have silver plastic trim instead of wood, which goes with the "less is more" motif. Edmunds agrees that the "two-tone color themes" create an "intense, distinctly Scandinavian ambience" in the 9-3 Saab. The Auto Channel believes that "the interior shares the cockpit feel and driver-focused themes of the 9-3 sports sedan and SportCombi," and that even rear passengers get treated to the look with a "light colored, near seamless headlining that gives a fixed-head interior ambience."
ForbesAutos notes that although it shares it underpinnings with various GM cars, the Saab 9-3 Convertible "carries Saab-exclusive styling and components, and it preserves traditional Saab quirks like the ignition key location between the two front seats."

E-mail marketing is one of the core fundamentals of any marketing theory. The usage of this tool has long been dated back and its utility value has yielded considerable and immense contribution in the field of online marketing and advertisement. One of the most prominent reasons why e-mail marketing continues to be an effective marketing tool is the fact that is relatively cost-effective. Now, to make sure that the tool is able to achieve its purpose, you will then have to make sure that it is well used, well made, and well written.
– Determine in advance what message you would like your audience to know. A well written e-mail marketing material is something that is planned in advance. It is something that you have anticipated to come. In which case, you will have the luxury in ensuring that the content of the e-mail marketing material is something that is professional looking and well-written.
– Determine who your targeted audience will be. By knowing the e-mail material recipient will be, then you can immediately plan ahead of time the material that will best fit the kind of audience.
– Create related and up to date e-mail material. Part of a well planned e-material is knowing the contents are relevant and pertinent to the audience's perspective. It is therefore significant that you know what you will be writing to your audience.

Are You Hiding Your Diabetes?
You can't tell someone has diabetes at first glance. And some people with diabetes go to great lengths to make sure others don't know about their condition. You might be tempted to hide your diabetes because:
You don't want to deal with blame, embarrassment or misconceptions
You feel weak or inadequate to admit you have it
You think it's your fault
You'd rather avoid questions about your health or about diabetes management
You don't want to shock or worry friends and family
You fear losing your job, relationship or friendships
Harms of Denial
In some cases, you might not even be honest with yourself about your health. At first, denial can prevent you from becoming overwhelmed or depressed by bad news. But over time, ignoring or concealing your condition has consequences. For instance:

You might not check your blood glucose regularly. Studies show fear of stigma prevents people from monitoring their blood sugar. But checking this important number helps you manage your disease and prevents complications like heart attacks and stroke. You might tell yourself you know your levels "by feel." But feelings aren't a good substitute for meter readings.
You might not stick to your diabetes diet. Afraid others will find you out? You might feel tempted to eat what everyone else is eating without regard for your own meal plan. Sharing information about your diabetes diet, on the other hand, can help others support you in making healthy choices.
You might not get appropriate healthcare. In an emergency, the people around you need to know you have diabetes. That way, you can get the help you need quickly. For instance, hypoglycemia—or low blood sugar—can occur with some diabetes medications. Signs include confusion and difficulty speaking. Prompt treatment with a quick source of sugar can prevent hospitalization and other serious complications.
Start the Discussion
Telling others about your diabetes helps you avoid the fear and stress of an unexpected discovery and allows you to manage your condition in the open. Try these tactics to help you step into the light.
Get support. Join a group of others with diabetes. Or talk with your doctor or a counselor about your fears. He or she can help you discuss your condition with friends, family and colleagues in a way that helps everyone.
Ask for what you need. Sometimes, family and friends want to help you but don't know how. Tell them what words and actions would be helpful—and which might make you angry or upset.
Reframe your feelings. Instead of fearing others' ignorance, view sharing your diabetes as a teaching moment. You can help friends, family and coworkers understand what it's like to have diabetes. This way, everyone with the condition can live happier, healthier and easier lives.
Take control. Ultimately, you can't change what others think or say about you. But you can do your best to manage your emotions and your health. The more actively you manage your diabetes, the better your chances of staying healthy—and happy—over the long haul.
Key Takeaways:
Many people are tempted to hide their diabetes because they fear blame and embarrassment or think it's their fault.
Ignoring or concealing your condition has consequences. You might not check your blood glucose regularly or stick to your diet.
- Talk with your doctor or a support group. They can help you discuss your condition with others in a way that helps everyone.

In 2006, the city of
Bristol celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of Isambard
Kingdom Brunel, the greatest engineer of the 19th century. The
place that contains some of Brunel's greatest achievements pulled
out all the stops in a year long festival that also highlighted a
great maritime city that is re-inventing itself in the 21st
There is a statue of Brunel, the diminutive genius, with his
cigar and his tall hat in the city centre, only ten minutes walk
along the harbour side from one of his most famous creations.
The SS Great Britain, the world's first great ocean going
liner-propeller driven, steam powered and iron clad-was built in
1839. It carried thousands of emigrants to Australia and later to
the US. After being found derelict in the Falkland Islands
(Malvinas), she was towed back to Britain and has been carefully
restored. She now sits in dry dock in all her glory. Brunel later
designed a even bigger ship, the Great Eastern which was used to
lay the first transatlantic telephone cables.
Up in the elegant Georgian suburb of Clifton is the construction
that has become Bristol's symbol. The small but perfectly formed
Clifton Suspension Bridge spans the Avon Gorge and is one of the
world's great engineering feats. Brunel's bridge, completed in
1868 and built for horses and carriages, was so ingeniously
constructed that it now bears the weight of four million cars
every year.
Visitors to the city often arrive at Brunels's magnificent gothic
railway station, Temple Meads. He was the architect of the GWR,
the Great Western Railway linking London with the West Country; a
commission he obtained at the age of twenty seven. At the London
end, Paddington Station was also a Brunel design. Work started on
the railway in 1836 and was completed in 1841. Dubbed "Brunels's
billiard table," local people referred to it affectionately as
"God's Wonderful Railway."
He also worked on a prototype for the first tunnel under the
River Thames in London. A man full of ideas, Brunel was a walking
"entente cordiale," being half French and half English. His
father was a Royalist and an engineer who fled to England to
escape the French Revolution. He married a Somerset girl and they
educated their son at home. Young Isambard showed a great
aptitude for design and mathematics.
Bristol has a full program of events planned throughout the year;
the city is the ideal starting point for visits to the area. Bath
is just a few miles away for lovers of Jane Austen and Georgian
architecture and London is one hour and forty minutes away by
city's maritime glories may be in the past but there are vivid
reminders all around. In the harbour you can see the little
galleon, the Matthew, in which the Italian Cabot brothers
sailed to the new world in 1497, landing at Newfoundland just a
year before Columbus finally reached mainland America. The
galleon is a perfect facsimile of the original, built to retrace
the expedition in 1997.
There is a statue to John Cabot (Giovanni Cabote) on College
Green in the city centre. The brothers came to Bristol to seek
financial backing for their expedition from the city's wealthy
merchants. Bristolians will tell you proudly that "America was
discovered from here!"
Although the medieval heart of the city was largely destroyed by
bombing during the Second World War, some intriguing corners
remain-a few lovely churches, a length of city wall, the
cathedral on College Green and the quaint Christmas Steps lined
on both sides with old shop fronts. Just off the centre is St
Nicholas' Market and the leather- covered columns known as the
Nails. Merchants settled their accounts there, originating the
saying "to pay on the nail" i.e. promptly.
The finest ships once sailed from the harbour "all shipshape and
Bristol fashion." Now, only pleasure boats and floating
restaurants remain. The harbour scene is a lively one with many
bars and restaurants and two art centres containing cinemas and
art galleries.
The City Museum on Park Street, next to the main University
Tower, is a good place to see a panorama of Bristol's history
from its medieval days as a wine importing centre to its
involvement in the slave trade and its transformation in the 20th
century into a centre for cigarette production. It's a wicked old
city, many will tell you; its wealth built on alcohol, slaves and
tobacco. Today, the city is known as a booming IT area.
If you wander around the centre you will find many quirky corners
such as Europe's smallest chocolate factory, Guilbert's, tucked
away in Leonard Lane near the market. Stop there for a delicious
treat. Linger and admire Queen's Square with its fine Georgian
houses built in the 1790s by those rich merchants. Today they are
mainly offices. On the front of no. 33-35 you will see a blue
plaque dedicated to Woodes Rogers, a Bristol seaman and notorious
pirate who eventually became Governor General of the Bahamas.
There is a coffee shop named after him on Park Street.
Nearby is another plaque denoting the Ôunofficial' American
consulate in Bristol immediately after the War of Independence.
At a time when there were no diplomatic relations between Britain
and the new American Republic the merchants of Bristol invited
Elias Vanderhorst over from Boston in 1792 in defiance of the
government in London. They needed a go- between to facilitate
their American trade. In his diary, preserved in the city
archives, the consul related that he had such a great social life
in the city he was scarcely able to do any work. He stayed until
In the centre of the Square is a statue of King William 1V on
horseback, said by many critics to be the finest equestrian
statue in Europe; judge for yourself. Just around the corner is
the Theatre Royal, England's oldest working theatre, founded in
1764 and guaranteed to provide a good evening's
Young visitors can be kept happy at the zoo in Clifton or in the
new hands-on science museum in the Millennium Centre. This
complex, known as At-Bristol, combines a science wing, a Wildwalk
and an Imax theatre bringing science, nature and art together. An
entire morning can be spent enjoying an exploration of the SS
Great Britain followed by ferry trips around the harbour.

One year up in Massillon, Ohio, where Jim grew up, I guess they got very bored with all the snow and ice.
So, Jim and some buds wanted to make an ice fort in the parking lot of a church.
Now there happened to also be a backhoe in the parking lot as well. And Jim, at about 8 or 9 years (yes, a lot happened in the 8-11 year old life of Jim Radcliffe) old started the backhoe! He had no fear! and actually figured it out.
I guess they hoped they could use it to help them make their ice fort. Long story short, they had to do it by hand, but that was quite the story for a young child.

Paleolithic and Neolithic Agriculture
The Transfer
Since the beginning humans have relied on animals and plants as their source of food
Before any type of farming humans were hunter-gatherers
Hunters-gatherers would do things like
Gather plants like berries
The Transfer
The Neolithic Revolution was the building block for our current agricultural system
This revolution happened between 11,500 and 5,000 years ago
By Ian Chertoff & Christian Hammond
(slide 2)
The Beginnings of Agriculture
The introduction of agriculture into Europe caused population crashes everywhere
These new food production techniques eventually led to population booms
This new "farming" was able to feed more people, causing more towns and cities
Early Crops
The earliest known crops are rice and millet
With the advancement of new tools and discovery of new farming techniques more crops could be grown for a bigger yield
At this time cities were able to feed right around 800 people
Early Crops
As time went on more and more crops were grown
This started with barley and moved to wheat and legumes (beans)
Early Crops
Tools and Weapons
Weapons and tools were beginning to be made in the stone age
Axes were beginning to be made along with spears
Many tools were made specifically for thee advancement of farming
(slide 3)
The skeleton belongs to a young female in her 20s, and can be dated to around 4,700 years ago.
The Transfer
(slide 2)
Jericho is one of the oldest continuously lived in cities in the world
Jericho had natural water springs, which attracted people to the area.
The Beginnings of agriculture
(slide 2)
(slide 3)
Tools and weapons
Tools and Weapons
Paleolithic man were basic hunter-gatherers
Mesolithic became slightly more advanced with the weapons and tools
Neolithic man had the most advanced tools seeing as he was leading the revolution
The Middle East was the first region to domesticate animals
Cattle was domesticated from oxen
New studies show that oxen could have been domesticated 10,500 years ago
Pigs and cattle were raised for food
Some of these animals were work animals
Oxen was one of these work animals

Don't Write It If You Don't Feel It
Published by GrantG in the blog GrantG's blog. Views: 89
If I could go back in time and tell my younger self just one thing, it'd be this: don't write it if you don't feel it. I can't go back in time, but I can tell beginning writers now what I wish I knew then. It's a simple rule. Unlike most rules in writing, it's one I believe can never be broken.
Don't write it if you don't feel it.
I would have avoided so many unfinished projects, so many false starts. Which isn't to say I don't have the occasional failure these days, but I have definitely seen an increase in my yearly production.
It's the secret that any great writer who deserves his or her fame knows. For me, it was like a revelation. Today, I don't even consider anything I wrote before I learned the secret worth publishing.
In his book about writing, Ray Bradbury says he stumbled upon the secret in his early twenties. Up until then, he had never written anything meaningful at all. One day he wrote a short story about a childhood event: he was at the beach and a little girl he had been playing with went into the ocean, but didn't come out. For the first time in his life, he felt that he had written something truly beautiful because he had written something that he felt.
Later, he wrote Fahrenheit 451, which he claims wasn't the cautionary tale about censorship that many made it out to be; he says the concept arose from his love for books, plain and simple. Whatever his reasons, he felt something when he wrote that story. It wasn't just a cool idea he had one day.
And another example: in an article published in the June issue of this year's Asimov's, science fiction writer Cory Doctorow claims the best piece of advice he ever received was when James Patrick Kelly told him: "You need to learn to sit down at a keyboard and open a vein."
Many beginning writers try to make a story out of any and every cool idea that comes along. Then they wonder why only their friends and family love it. Yes, the story itself is the most important element, but it's meaningless without the heart.

An individual with a disability is defined as any person who:
"has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities (including walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working, caring for oneself, or performing manual tasks), has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment."
A "disability" is a condition caused by accident, trauma, genetics or disease that may limit a person's mobility, hearing, vision, speech, or mental function. A person may have more than one disability.
A "handicap" is a physical or attitudinal constraint imposed upon a person; for example, stairs, narrow doorways, and curbs are handicaps imposed upon people with disabilities who use wheelchairs.
The information regarding a student's disability should be shared only when there is a compelling reason for disclosure. The U. S. Department of Justice has indicated that a faculty member generally does not have a need to know this information, only that it has been appropriately verified by the office assigned this responsibility on behalf of the institution. Students may submit their verification to the Student Disability Resource Center without disclosing to their instructors the specific nature of their disability. Upon a student's request for accommodations, the university and the instructor are required by law to appropriately accommodate the student in a timely manner. While students are not required to share their specific disability information, students are encouraged to discuss their specific needs with their instructors.
Faculty members are encouraged to refer students to the Student Disability Resource Center if the student has disclosed that they have a disability. We would be more than happy to provide brochures to any academic department that would like to have them available as a student resource.
Reasonable accommodations are determined on an individual basis after considering the specific disability and documentation of functional limitations in accordance with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. See the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) at www.ahead.org and the SDRC website at www.dos.fsu.edu/sdrc for more information regarding documentation guidelines. Accommodations are designed to provide an equal educational opportunity not to give the student a competitive edge.
On the Florida State University campus the Student Disability Resource Center is regarded as the authority to verify disabilities and determine whether a student qualifies for academic accommodations. All students eligible for accommodations have presented the necessary documentation and been verified by the SDRC staff. Please do not provide accommodations to a student unless the letter of accommodation has been provided to you. If a student tells you that they have accommodations but do not provide you with a letter, please refer them to the SDRC to obtain a current faculty letter.
A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a course, program, service, job, activity, or facility that enables a qualified individual with a disability to have an equal opportunity to attain the same level of performance or to enjoy equal benefits and privileges as are available to an individual without a disability. Some common academic accommodations include extended time on tests, use of peer note takers, use of computer with spell check, and provision of sign language interpreters.
To become eligible, a person must have a documented disability and inform the University that he or she is requesting accommodations based on that disability.
A student must:
Student Disability Resource Center staff determine the accommodations using:
The determination of reasonable accommodations considers the following:
"Accommodations don't make things easier, just possible; in the same way eyeglasses do not improve the strength of the eyes, they just make it possible for the individual to see better. Accommodations are interventions that allow the learner to indicate what they know. Without the accommodations, the learner may not be able to overcome certain barriers." (Samuels, M. 1992 — Asking the Right Questions. The Learning Center, Calgary)
Accommodations are designed to lessen the effects of the disability and are required to provide fair and accurate testing to measure knowledge or expertise in the subject. Careful consideration must be given to requests for accommodations when the test is measuring a skill, particularly if that skill is an essential function or requirement of passing the course, such as typing at a certain speed or turning a patient for an x–ray. In such cases, please contact a Student Disability Resource Center staff member for guidance.
The purpose of academic accommodations is to adjust for the effect of the student's disability, not to dilute academic requirements. The evaluation and assigning of grades should have the same standards for all students, including students with disabilities. For many test takers, the most common accommodation is extended time. In specific circumstances, students may also require the use of readers and/or scribes, a modification of test format, the administration of examinations orally, or an alternative time for testing. For out–of–class assignments, the extension of deadlines may be justified, especially if the student is relying heavily on support services (readers for term papers, etc.).
Other students could improve test scores if they were allowed additional time as well. Various factors account for the need for extra time on tests for students with learning disabilities. These include: a) speed of processing; b) visual perceptual deficits; c) difficulty with mechanics of syntax, spelling and punctuation; and d) reading comprehension deficits. Research (at UC Berkeley, 1991 and the University of Toronto, 1993) on the effects of extended time on exams has shown dramatic improvements for students with learning disabilities, but only marginal improvement for students without learning disabilities. Rather than providing an unfair advantage in the class, extended time for exams allows these students to demonstrate their level of mastery of the course objectives, rather than reflecting the deficits innate to their learning disabilities. In other words, it 'levels the playing field.'
Ask for the Letter of Accommodation from the student; this letter describes the accommodations that faculty are legally mandated to provide. During an office hour or at another convenient time, discuss the letter and the accommodations with the student. Students MUST present a letter from the Student Disability Resource Center to receive accommodations. If the student does not have a letter, he or she should be referred to the appropriate staff member at the Student Disability Resource Center to request services. SDRC staff will determine the appropriate accommodations after reviewing documentation of the disability provided by the student.
Students have a responsibility to give instructors and the SDRC adequate time to arrange accommodations. All Student Disability Resource Center staff encourage students to identify early in the semester. Instructors can help by extending in class and in the syllabus an invitation for students to identify themselves early in the semester: "Any student who may need an accommodation due to a disability, please make an appointment to see me during my office hours. A letter from the Student Disability Resource Center authorizing your accommodations will be needed."
Once a student has identified to the instructor and requests disability–related accommodations authorized by the SDRC, the University has a legal responsibility to make reasonable attempts to accommodate the need, even late in the semester. There is no responsibility to provide accommodations prior to identification; for example, allowing the student to re–take exams with extended time.
The Student Disability Resource Center is the office designated to receive and interpret documentation of the disability. SDRC staff certifies eligibility for services and determines accommodations. Disability information is confidential and students are not required to disclose this information to instructors.
Talk with the student about your concerns regarding his or her performance. If the concern seems disability-related, work into conversation with the student information about the Student Disability Resource Center and how to apply for services. You cannot directly ask the student if they have a disability. Whether to self-identify to the Student Disability Resource Center is the decision of the student; however, to receive accommodations, disclosure to the SDRC with proper documentation is required.
If the student has never been evaluated for a learning disability and/or Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, the Student Disability Resource Center will provide a list of local resources where the student may be screened or tested. Some of the resources offer a sliding fee schedule.
Treat the student as you would any student who is not performing well in your class. Invite the student to your office hour to discuss reasons for the failing performance and what resources the student may use to improve. Encourage the student to see the Student Disability Resource Center staff to discuss some additional strategies to improve his or her grades. Contact the SDRC staff member working with the student to discuss any concerns.
Talk with the student to discuss your concerns that absences are affecting class performance. Remind him or her of your policy on class absences. Determine with the student whether the missed work can be made up and make arrangements with the student to do so. Refer the student to Student Disability Resource Center if too much class work has been missed.
A note taker is usually another student in class who agrees to provide copies of lecture notes taken during class. The note taker may make copies of notes at the SDRC or use carbonless note taker paper available at no charge from Student Disability Services. The note taker may also choose to type notes during class on a laptop computer and then email the notes to the student and/or upload them into the SDRC clockwork system where all students with the note taking accommodation in that specific course will be able to access the notes. For more information on the note taking process, refer to the Instructions: Note takingsection.
The Letter of Accommodation will document the need for note takers. Students who cannot take notes or have difficulty taking notes adequately due to the effects of their disability can be accommodated in a number of ways including: allowing them to tape record lectures, assisting them in obtaining an in–class volunteer note taker, and providing them with an outline of lecture materials and copies of overhead transparencies.
In the unlikely event that a student shows up for the first day of class without an interpreter, the student should be referred to the Student Disability Resource Center. The SDRC will then attempt to schedule an interpreter or work with the student to rearrange his or her schedule into classes where an interpreter is already provided.
Students requiring an interpreter for class must make the request to the Student Disability Resource Center. For outside class requirements, such as field trips or other assigned activities, as well as office hours, students should request the interpreter from the SDRC at least two weeks ahead of time or more, depending on the event. The SDRC cannot guarantee an interpreter when requests are made less than two weeks before the event.
Interpreters are professionals who facilitate communication between hearing individuals and people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The role of the interpreter is similar to that of a foreign language translator: to bridge the communication gap between two parties.
Some adaptations in presentation style may be helpful when using a sign language interpreter. The interpreter will let you know if you need to slow down your rate of speaking or if they need you to repeat any information. A desk copy of the book is especially helpful for the interpreter when the class is using examples or doing exercises from the text. Please realize that if students are looking at the interpreter, they cannot be reading a book, writing, or taking notes; a pause for the students to finish their task may be required before continuing the lecture.
Interpreters are bound by the code of ethics developed by the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, which specifies that interpreters are to serve as communication intermediaries who are not otherwise involved.
When an interpreter is present, speak directly to the deaf or hard of hearing person rather than to the interpreter, and avoid using phrases such as "tell him" or "ask her."
Speak normally, noting that there may be a lag time between the spoken message and the interpretation.
When referring to objects or written information, allow time for the translation to take place. Replace terms such as "here" and "there" with more specific terms, such as "on the second line" and "in the left corner."
In a conference room or class environment, the deaf student and interpreter will work out seating arrangements, with the interpreter usually located near the speaker.
Inform the interpreter in advance if there is an audiovisual element in a presentation, so arrangements can be made for lighting and positioning. All videos used in an academic course must be captioned to be accessible for the deaf student.
In sessions that extend longer than one hour, the interpreter may require a short break to maintain proficiency in interpreting.
Students should let you know at the beginning of the semester if they will need assistance during an emergency.
Students who are blind or have low vision may need a "buddy" to assist them exit the building.
Some students with head injuries or psychiatric disabilities may become confused or disoriented during an emergency and may also need a "buddy."
Students who use wheelchairs should NOT use the elevator but should wait for Security to safely assist them to exit the building. Security has the schedules of students who will need emergency evacuation. To prevent injuries, instructors or other untrained personnel should NOT attempt to evacuate a student who uses a wheelchair. Please wait for trained emergency personnel.
The Student Disability Resource Center encourages students with seizure disorders to inform their instructors about what should be done if a seizure occurs during class time. Some students request that Security be called immediately; others request action as listed below. Seizures happen when there is a sudden electrical discharge in the brain. Each individual has a unique reaction. A seizure can result in a relatively slight reaction, such as a short lapse in attention, or a more severe reaction known as a grand mal, which involves convulsions. Seizure disorders are generally controlled by medication, so the possibility of a seizure in the classroom is rare. If one does occur, the following actions are suggested: Keep calm. Ease the student to the floor and open the collar of the shirt. You cannot stop a seizure. Let it run its course and do not try to revive the student. Remove hard, sharp, or hot objects that may injure the student, but do not interfere with his or her movements. Do not force anything between the student's teeth. Turn the student's head to one side for release of saliva. Place something soft under the head. Make sure that breathing is unobstructed, but do not be concerned if breathing is irregular. When the student regains consciousness, let him or her rest as long as desired. To help orient the student to time and space, suggest where he or she is and what happened. Speak reassuringly to the student, especially as the seizure ends. The student may be agitated or confused for several minutes afterward. Don't leave the student alone until he or she is clearheaded. Ask whether you can call a friend or relative to help him or her get home. If the seizure lasts beyond a few minutes, or if the student seems to pass from one seizure to another without regaining consciousness, contact the campus Safety and Security office. This rarely happens, but when it does, it should be treated immediately.
The SDRC has an in–house testing center located on premise. The main room holds roughly 30 students, and there are five individual rooms for those students who have "private room" as an accommodation. There are nine computers available for tests that are online or use digital media (such as images or recordings). Faculty is always welcome to come by the SDRC to tour the facility.
Yes. Exams are kept locked in a secure location until time to administer. The testing environment at the SDRC is monitored by physical proctors, video cameras and a remote system that allows staff members to see what students are doing on their computer screen during exams on which a computer may be used. Instructors are welcome at any time to visit our facility to insure that the integrity of the exam process is being upheld.
We are located in the Student Services Building, 874 Traditions Ways — Room 108.
In the event that academic dishonesty is suspected, our policy is to stop the exam and notify the instructor immediately. Our office does not make decisions on penalties, but will provide any information regarding what was witnessed.
Students are responsible for scheduling tests to be taken at the SDRC testing center, but faculty are given immediate notification by email whenever a student does so. At that point it is incumbent on faculty to approve the time/date of the test and to deliver the test to the testing center supervisor in a timely manner. General expectations are that tests will be delivered at least two business days prior to the testing date, although more time may be needed if the test needs to be made accessible through conversion or by supplementing (e.g. tactile images for blind students). For complete information and instructions, please visit the "Instructions: Testing" section of this handbook.
PLEASE NOTE: Document conversion, especially for students who are blind, is a time consuming process. Any time inaccessible materials are used in class, it causes a delay for the student trying to learn and use that information.
Ideally, all class materials should be created as fully accessible documents, including text books, required readings, class handouts, slide show presentations, videos, audio recordings, etc. For more information on how to make sure that the documents used in a class are accessible, please visit the "Instructions: Alternative Text/Class Materials" section of this handbook.
In the event that faculty use materials that are not accessible, it is incumbent on the student to request that those materials be converted into an accessible format by the SDRC. The alt–text conversion team at the SDRC attempts to work with faculty when needed to verify that text conversions are equitable.
For more information, please refer to the "Instructions: Alternative Text/Class Materials" section of this handbook.

I'm looking for help with hardwood floor tiles. Approximately 10 years ago, I installed a floor composed of 12" x 12" parquet hardwood floor tiles over a 3/4" plywood subfloor. The 12" x 12" tiles were made of four squares of small strips of hardwood held together by steel wire in a walnut finish, and were "peel and stick" - no glue or nails necessary. I believe that they were made by Armstrong, and I purchased them at my local Home Depot.
Does anyone know if this product is still available? I've searched all over the Web with no success.
Any help is appreciated!

text: I have had so many requests in the past couple of weeks to post my collection but have been basically blowing everyone off and Im very sorry for that but I promise there is a very legit reason. O.K. here we go: It will be 2 weeks tomorrow that I lost my entire collection...every bag I own including LV, Balenciaga, Chanel, and Chloe, and yes ALL of my Coach. My wonderful FIL was making me some beautiful shelves for my bags so I packed them all in their dust bags and put them in huge black garbage bags and set aside in my room until my shelves were done. Well my 10 yr. old son Kyle decided to surprise me while I was at the grocery store one morning before school my feeding our dog, doing the dishes and yes, taking out ALL of the "trash". As luck should have it, it was trash p/u day and my entire collection including wallets and fobs ended up in the dumpster. I exhaused every effort trying to find them and get them back with no luck at all. Not to worry Kyle is fine, we both cried a little but he and I both know he was just doing his very best to help mom out. So there you have it. Thats the reason I have no updated collection photos.:shame:

Super-competent strains of Bacillus subtilis
As discovered by John Spizizen in 1958 [1], Bacillus subtilis 168 can become transiently competent to take up DNA from its environment during early stationary phase. Competence is achieved by a minority population within a culture as a consequence of a developmental change known as the K-state, marked by growth cessation, arrest of septum formation, synthesis of DNA-uptake machinery, and activation of recombination-repair systems [2]. Entry of cells into the K-state is under control of the master regulatory protein ComK [3]. Over-expression of ComK leads to the phenomenon of super-competence, in which essentially every cell in a culture stops growing and takes up any DNA in its immediate environment. Removal of the inducer allows growth to resume.
The BGSC has two super-competent lines of B. subtilis. In the first, strain SCK6, the comK gene has been placed under the control of the xylose-inducible promoter PxylA [4]. Addition of xylose to 1% (w/v) to B. subtilis cultures in LB allowed for plasmid DNA transformation frequencies of up to 10^7 with multimeric plasmid preps or 10^4 with ligated plasmid DNA. In the second, strain REG19, comK has been placed under the control of the mannitol-inducible promoter PmtlA, together with a second competence gene, comS [5]. Transformation frequencies were slightly lower than those reported for SCK6, but still much higher than observed with the parental culture under an ordinary competence protocol.
These super-competent lines essentially eliminate technical difficulties associated with standard competence protocols, which generally require closely-monitored growth curves and extended incubation of cultures in two different minimal media. Their high levels of competence allow for simple alteration of chromosomal sequences via amplification fragments, for example by Gibson assembly [5]. Some care must be taken not to allow non-competent mutants to take over stock cultures; super-competent cell lines tend to form smaller colonies on plates (Zhang, personal communication). But their availability should make complicated strain construction projects much simpler for many applications. Strain SCK6 is available from the BGSC under accession number 1A976. Strain REG19 is available under accession number 1A1276.
Strain Database is Now Updated!
Over the weekend we completed a bulk update of our online database. Included are each strain in the BKE knockout library, the CRISPRi knockdown library, the Bacillus subtilis gene expression toolbox, and many more. You should have a greatly increased ability to locate strains and plasmids using our online search engine.
You can enter string of three or more characters into the search box and find strains by their BGSC Code, Original Code, genotype, published reference, and in some cases a GenBank accession ID (we are working to update that last field).
For example: suppose you need a knockout of the B. subtilis xpaC gene. Simply enter xpaC in the search box, press enter, and you will discover that a knockout is available in strain BKE00250. Or suppose you are looking at a 1999 publication by Levin et al., Identification and characterization of a negative regulator of FtsZ ring formation in Bacillus subtilis. You could enter a phrase from the title (FtsZ ring formation) or the PMID for the article (10449747) and discover that we have two of the strains used in this research. Or suppose a BLAST search turns up a sequenced strain with GenBank accession number CP002905. Enter that number in the box, and you will discover we have the strain. Do we have the common lab strain PY79? Enter that name in the box, press enter, and you\'ll find that the answer is yes!
Of course we are always happy to answer inquiries about our holdings or to brainstorm with you about strains or plasmids that might work for your project. Write or call anytime!
Congratulations to IGEM 2016 Medalists!
We at the BGSC view supporting STEM education as one of our most important roles. For this reason I want to take a moment to congratulate two gold medalists at the 2016 iGEM competition. If you are not familiar with iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine), you should be! This year, over 5000 students in 42 nations participated at the high school, undergraduate, and overgraduate levels. The competition culminated in a jamboree held October 27-31 in Boson, Massachusetts, where over 3000 gathered to share and celebrate their achievements. The BGSC is proud to have supplied strains and advice to two gold medalists. (Please let me know if I am forgetting anyone!) Team Freiburg explored the use of Bacillus subtilis spore display for the targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs, with a test case of immune suppression therapy for ulcerative colitis. For more on their work, see their project website. Team UC Davis asked whether B. subtilis could be engineered to produce natural food colorants. Their proof of concept experiments suggested that cyanobacterial protein pigments could potentially replace Blue dye #1, or Brilliant Blue. For details, see the project website. A shout out to both teams! There are still plenty of Bacillus-related project for future IGEM competitions, and the BGSC is here to help.
Gene Expression Toolbox for B. subtilis
Sarah Guiziou, from the Jerome Bonnet lab at the University of Montpellier, has graciously donated a large set of plasmids and strains comprising a toolkit allowing tunable gene expression in Bacillus subtilis. The amyE integration vectors in the set contain various arrangements of natural promoters, optimized RBS sequences, and protein degradation tags. By fusing the constructs to sfGFP reporters, Guiziou et al. achieved a range of expression corresponding to an average number of GFP molecules per cell varying from 15 to 270000, a span of more than five orders of magnitude. (Some of the higher expression levels result in B. subtilis constructs that look distinctly bright yellow-green under ordinary room lighting!) A complete listing of the plasmids and B. subtilis strains in the set are beyond the scope of this news item, but I encourage you to read the paper. Supplementary data file 1, an Excel spreadsheet detailing expression levels, is especially helpful. We thank Guizhiou and colleagues for these valuable tools.

Dr. Mercy Richmond struggles to balance her roles as a single mother and busy physician whose patients have nowhere else to go. Her small Missouri town has no E.R. and Mercy is overwhelmed by the sick, the injured and the personal problems they bring into her clinic—and her life. If she thought her schedule would help her forget Lukas Bower, the handsome doctor she believes betrayed her, she was wrong. A new Christian, Mercy must make a decision that will change four lives forever—including her daughter's. And then Lukas comes home....
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Hannah Alexander is the pen name for Cheryl Hodde, who uses the medical input from her husband, Dr. Mel Hodde, to write romantic suspense with medical emphasis, both contemporary and historical. Their first collaboration began with a blind date instigated by Cheryl's matchmaking pastor, and has continued for the fifteen years of their marriage.
Discover more about their work at www.hannahalexander.com
The crunch of tires on gravel echoed across the unpaved parking lot as Dr. Mercy Richmond drove into the apartment complex where Odira Bagby lived with her great-granddaughter, Crystal Hollis. A bare lightbulb glowed over the small concrete front stoop at the door nearest the alley so she'd know which apartment was Odira's.
Mercy pulled as close to the steps as she could and reached over to turn up the heat in her car. The curtain at the window beside Odira's front door was open, revealing a front room with an old threadbare sofa and a straight-backed chair crammed into a ten-by-ten-foot space, along with an old TV resting on a nightstand. An off-white lace doily topped the TV. Mercy had never been here before, but she knew the sixty-six-year-old woman supported herself and seven-year-old Crystal on social security. She couldn't get a place at Sunrise Villa, the retirement apartments, because the new management didn't want children.
Before Mercy could shift the gear into Park, the front door opened and out lumbered Odira, all two hundred seventy pounds of her, with wraithlike Crystal beside her, bundled all the way to her nose in a thick quilt.
As Mercy stepped out of the car into the icy wind and hurried around to open the door for them, Crystal started coughing again—the same hoarse, dry sound Mercy had heard in the background when Odira called a few minutes ago. It was typical of a child sick with bronchitis, maybe even pneumonia, brought on by the specter of cystic fibrosis.
"Hope you didn't have to leave your own little girl at home alone for this," Odira said in her booming baritone voice that always seemed to shake the walls when she came to the clinic.
"No, I dropped Tedi off at my mom's on the way here." Mercy got Crystal and Odira settled in the car, slid into the driver's seat and pulled onto the quiet street for the five-minute drive to her clinic.
At the first stop sign, she noticed Odira sniffing...great, heaving sniffles. Tears, which she obviously could not contain, paraded down her cheeks. Odira was known to talk more than she breathed, a counterpoint to Crystal's silent watchfulness. But not tonight.
Mercy cast a second concerned glance at the woman, where the dash lights illumined her broad, heavy face and rusty-iron hair that looked as if it had been cut with a pair of dull scissors. Beside her, Crystal's face was thin and pale, filled with a sad knowledge. She raised her hand to cover her mouth when she coughed, just as Odira had taught her to. Her stout, clubbed fingers demonstrated the effects of oxygen deprivation to her extremities throughout her battle with CF.
"Are you two warm enough?" Mercy asked.
"I'm plenty warm." Odira looked down at Crystal and wrapped a thick arm around her. Worn patches at the sleeves of her thirty-year-old coat had been carefully mended. "You okay?"
Crystal nodded and ducked her head into her great-grandmother's side.
"What's Crystal's temperature?" Mercy hadn't bothered to inquire about that over the phone because she knew that if Odira was desperate enough to call for help, Crystal was sick.
"Hundred and two." Odira's voice sounded like a solid mass in the confined space. "Couldn't get her temp down, and the coughing just kept getting worse. Think she might have pneumonia again." She sniffed and wiped at her wet face with the back of her hand. "Sorry... just couldn't figure out nothing else to do but call you."
"You don't have to apologize, Odira." Mercy laid her heater-warmed hand on Crystal's face. Yes, it was hot. Crystal's underdeveloped body was always fighting some kind of an infection. She'd had bouts of both bronchitis and pneumonia since Odira took over her care last year. Who knew what nightmares the child had suffered before that? She talked more now than she had when she first came to Knolls after her mother disappeared. She was healthier, too. That didn't surprise Mercy. Love and kindness had great power over illness, and nobody could envelop a little girl in love the way big, awkward Odira Bagby could.
Mercy shared the hope with Odira that they would see Crystal live to adulthood, maybe even into her forties, with the new treatments and increased knowledge about this debilitating genetic disease. And by the time Crystal reached her forties, maybe they would have a cure.
As Crystal's coughing and wheezing increased, Mercy turned onto Maple, the street that fronted Knolls Community Hospital and her clinic. The hospital came into view, glowing a dark rose color in the security lights set strategically around the grounds. Mercy slowed to the required fifteen miles per hour as she passed the property, set in a scenic residential section of town, with plenty of open lawn and evergreens. Bare branches of oaks and maples jutted out from between humps of burlap-protected rose plants.
She looked up to see, without surprise, that the administrator's office was illuminated on the second floor. Mrs. Pinkley had opted to move her operations into an unused storage area rather than take the time to repair her own suite, which had been damaged in the explosions when the E.R. was destroyed. The E.R. was Estelle Pinkley's first priority. Knolls Community usually employed about two hundred fifty people, many of whom would be out of work until they had the west wing with an emergency department. Estelle's sense of civic responsibility had impacted her career as prosecuting attorney for a great deal of her life. Why stop just because she'd changed careers? At seventy, she was a more powerful force than a whole roomful of attorneys.
Odira sniffed and wiped her face again. "Sure do miss Dr. Bower." Her heavy voice had an unaccustomed catch of sadness. "Bet you do, too. Bet you get all kinds of calls like this since there ain't an E.R."
Mercy reached over and patted Odira's fleshy shoulder. "You know I wanted to come." But what the woman said was true. Mercy's practice had been overwhelmed the past three months. She missed Lukas a lot, and not just for his professional ability.
Lukas Bower, the acting E.R. director, was working temporarily at a hospital on the shore of the Lake of the Ozarks, a three-hour drive from Knolls. Patients and hospital staff members continually asked Mercy when he'd be back. She wondered, too. Nobody missed him more than she did.
"Don't seem right he should be out of work just because some monster wanted to set fire to the E.R." Odira pulled Crystal closer. "Don't seem right we should all be suffering like this."
"I feel the same way." Mercy looked down at Crystal. "How are you doing, sweetheart?"
"My chest hurts."
Mercy bit her lip and prayed silently, the way Lukas had taught her to do. God, please help me with this one. She's so young. Why is she suffering like this? The question came up often lately in Mercy's mind, and after all the talking she and Lukas had done about the subject, she still hadn't found a satisfactory answer. Every time she found herself questioning God about it, she felt afraid. Sometimes it seemed as if all those great, profound truths she and Lukas had discussed last summer and autumn had deserted her, and that her new belief in Christ was just a fairy tale.
She turned into the dark parking area of her clinic, less than a block from the hospital. "Let's get inside and get a breathing treatment started."
Clarence Knight just happened to be in Ivy Richmond's kitchen, raiding her refrigerator and practically swallowing three frozen chocolate chip cookies whole, when the phone rang for the second time Saturday night.
He jerked backward and knocked his head on the overhead compartment where Ivy had been hiding the treats from him. He thumped his elbow on the door and spilled crumbs down the front of his size 6XL T-shirt in his rush to get to the phone before the ringing could wake Ivy. If she came in and found him eating, she would roast him whole over an open fire, all four hundred twenty pounds of him.
He jerked up the receiver, then realized his mouth was still full. He chewed and swallowed. "Mmm-hmm?"
"Hello? Who is this?" It was a man's voice. Sounded familiar. Sounded upset. "Clarence?"
"Is Dr. Mercy there?"
Clarence swallowed again. "Hmm-mmm."
"Do you know where she is? This is Buck. I just tried her at home, and I couldn't get her. I need her bad. Kendra tried to—" His voice broke. "She needs help. I've got to get her somewhere...got to get her on some oxygen." There was another crack in his voice. "Clarence? You there?"
Clarence swallowed again. "Hol' up, Buck. Ith's okay." One more swallow. There. "Mercy dropped Tedi off here a little bit ago, 'cause she was on her way to the clinic for some emergency. What's the matter with Kendra?"
Buck took a breath. "She tried to kill herself. Carbon monoxide poisoning. She was running her car motor out in the garage when I found her. The doors and windows were all shut."
Clarence grunted as if he'd been hit in the gut with a football. "Oh, man." Poor Kendra. And poor Buck. "She okay? Where are you?" He knew they were still having trouble in their marriage, but was her life bad enough for her to want to die?
"We're still at home. I've got to get her to Dr. Mercy's," Buck said. "There'll be oxygen there."
"Yeah, Dr. Mercy'll check her out. Want me to call the clinic and see if I can let her know you're coming?"
"Yeah. Thanks, Clarence."
There was so much relief in Buck's voice, Clarence went even further. "You'll be coming right by here on your way...." He hesitated. He'd just started getting back out into public after losing all that weight, and he still had a long way to go. Could he do this?
Yeah, he'd do anything for Buck. Buck had been there for him when he was in trouble. "I could meet you out at the street. All you'd have to do would be stop and let me get in and ride with you. Then you wouldn't have to do this all by yourself." And maybe he could talk to Kendra some. He knew firsthand what depression could do to a person.
There was a pause, and he braced himself for Buck to turn him down. He'd lost over a hundred pounds since last spring, but he'd still draw a big crowd at a circus sideshow. He was big and clumsy and took up two seats wherever he went, and strangers stared and laughed, and he knew the few friends he had were probably ashamed to be seen—
"You'd do that for me, Clarence?" came Buck's relieved voice. "It would help."
Clarence blew out a bunch of air he hadn't realized he was holding in his lungs. "Sure would, pal. Look at what you did for me last fall. I'll be waiting out front when you get here."
He hung up and glanced toward the hallway that led to Ivy's bedroom suite. Good. No lights, and he thought he could hear her snoring over the hum of the refrigerator. Mercy's daughter, Tedi, had gone straight to sleep in the spare bedroom without waking her grandma. He guessed neither of them had heard him on the phone.
Ivy had once compared his voice to a derailed locomotive running loose through the house, and she really griped when he woke her up in the middle of the night. Especially when she caught him eating.
Clarence and his sister, Darlene, had come to live with Ivy Richmond—Dr. Mercy's mom—three months ago when their health got too bad to live on their own. And Ivy had bullied him every day since then to eat right, exercise, take his vitamins, exercise, take his medicine, drink a bucket of water a day and exercise. She'd even tried to make him go to church with her. He'd done everything but that.
Since he couldn't bend over and pick up all the crumbs he'd scattered on his way to the phone, he shoved them aside with his foot. Though sloppy and crude, it might save his life. He had to hurry and brush his teeth and get out to the curb. He wanted to be there when that pickup truck came rolling by.
Shouldn't've taken that Lasix a couple of hours ago. He knew from Mercy that the medicine kept him from retaining fluid, but it also kept him running to the bathroom all night long.
Crystal Hollis lay on Mercy's softest, most comfortable exam bed in an overheated room, with a pink teddy-bear sheet draped over the lower half of her body. Some of the color had returned to her face, and the sound of her breathing was not as labored, nor her lips as blue, as a few moments before.
Mercy pressed the warmed bell of her stethoscope against the little girl's chest. "Take a breath for me, honey."
Seven-year-old Crystal had the body weight of a five-year-old, with stick-thin arms and legs and a slightly protruding abdomen—clearly the cystic fibrosis affected her pancreas as well as her pulmonary system. Which meant Crystal could eat as much as an adult and still not put on weight. It was a constant battle. She had an aura of maturity in her long-suffering expression and sad gray-blue eyes that befitted someone seventy years older.
Her chest sounded a little better, but not enough. She coughed and Mercy grimaced. The breathing treatments weren't going to cut it this time.
"How's she doin', Dr. Mercy?" Odira's deep voice rumbled from her chair four feet away. She leaned forward, her puffy face filled with tense worry.
Mercy sighed and placed the stethoscope back around her neck. She tucked the sheet back up over Crystal's bony shoulders and took the little girl's hand in her own. "I'd like to see her breathing better, Odira." She perched on the exam stool beside the bed and faced the child's great-grandmother. "The X-rays don't show what I suspected, but this could be early pneumonia. I'd like to have her checked out by a pulmonologist in Springfield. I could transfer her to St. John's and..." The expression of sudden fear in Odira's face halted her words.
"But you're her doctor," the older woman argued. "You're the one we trust. Couldn't you just do one of those consults they talk about on TV? That big place up in Springfield would be so scary for Crystal, and they might not even let me stay with her. You know how those big places are."
Mercy patted Crystal's hand and released it, then stood up and walked over to the chest X-rays placed in the lighted viewer box. The films most definitely indicated bronchitis. Time to blast those lungs with high-powered antibiotics. Odira always made sure Crystal received the nutritional support Mercy suggested, including the pancreatic enzyme supplements and vitamins, but Mercy would increase the caloric intake even more for a while. Crystal's fever had dropped a little, but Mercy didn't want to take any chances.

04 Jun The return of "What's Your Greatest Weakness" or, This again? Really?
When I started in Recruiting in the 80's the most dreaded interview questions for I.T. professionals were "Desired Salary" and "What's your Greatest Weakness?" These generally put fear into our candidates and were the primary focus of much of our interview preparation. Essentially we prepared candidates on how to play defense and have answers for questions we knew they were going to ask. No one benefited because it became a game of who was the best interviewer more than the best candidate.
The early 90's saw the rise of Behavioral Interviewing and with it a realization that employee success and failure was more accurately predicted by core skills and behavioral characteristics. While some firms overemphasized this approach with too many scenarios, the positive was companies increasingly dropped the "Greatest Weakness" question from the interview process. By 2000 we had virtually no clients that asked this question and almost none that discussed salary with candidates during the interview process. We eliminated it from our prep and focused on how to identify needs and showcase skills related to a client's needs (Marketing Yourself).
Good Riddance!
This was an incredibly positive move because it allowed a more valuable exchange of information between the client and candidate. Companies could focus on specific expertise with technologies, functional roles and some behavioral while allowing the candidate to ask questions to identify company needs, challenges and the pain points. A far more effective beneficial approach for everyone and better method for determining value/ benefit of hiring a candidate.
So What Happened?
You can imagine how confused I am to hear some clients now asking this question but at last check Google indicated 67.400,000 responses to my query about "What's Your Greatest Weakness." It's not just my clients who now find this relevant but why? At least 60M of the links will tell you to a) give the company a weakness that has nothing to do with the role or b) chose a weakness from your past. If these are responses you're going to be given than truly what's the point in asking?
Please Technical Recruiter, HR Manager and for God's sake I.T. Hiring Manager – the question is intellectually lazy, void of creativity and absolutely useless! Show you care about the talent you hire and ask:
– Tell me about an area you've improved greatly in over the last 2 or 3 years?
– What skill or talent are you most seeking to develop in your next role?
– If I asked your last boss, what area would they say you most need to further develop?

For Your Repository Viewing Pleasure: "Frontiers of Science" Comics from University of Sydney Library
Submitted by on Fri, 2011-07-29 11:20
Winchester, MA Most of us can come up with at least one comic strip that has made a lasting impression. Comics have always been part of art for commerce culture that exists somewhere in between commodity and art form. Designed to resonate with a niche part of a newspaper's readers, well-known comics like Dilbert, Doonesbury and Cathy gained popularity because some part of the newspaper-buying public saw themselves reflected in comic strip characters. From 1961-1982 the Sydney Morning Herald took a chance on "Frontiers of Science," a new kind of comic that aimed to dramatize scientific breakthroughs in an illustrated format.
From "Frontiers of Science" web site (http://frontiers.library.usyd.edu.au/):
"More science fact than science fiction, presented in dramatic black and white imagery, Frontiers of Science was a true life adventure of the story behind the amazing scientific breakthroughs of the day."
Developed with DSpace on the backend and presented in several browse (including a tag cloud) and search formats, the comic strips are grouped according to weekly science topics of the day such as "The Atom Harnessed" in 1962. The July 2011 issue of code{4}lib Journal includes an article by Gary Browne, "Web-Based Software Integration For Dissemination Of Archival Images: The Frontiers Of Science Website" with an overview of the materials and how the Sydney Library developed this interactive web site just in time for a "Frontiers" exhibition paraphernalia at the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) in Ultimo, Sydney.

EDEN, N.Y. (WIVB) — Authorities were called late Thursday afternoon to the 8900 block of East Eden Road in east Eden after a man allegedly killed his 79-year-old mother.
Wayne E. Kozak, 48, of the East Eden Road address, is accused of fatally shooting his mother, Mary Louise Kozak, 79, who lives in the same house.
Mary Kozak was found dead at the home just before 4 p.m. Thursday.
The Erie County District Attorney said another person had called police to report the shooting, and that person told police Wayne Kozak was responsible, but the D.A. declined to elaborate further on who made the initial call.
We're told Troopers with the New York State Police forensic investigations team and its violent crime investigations unit were quickly called in to help piece together what happened.
Officials with the State Police, the D.A.'s office, and Eden Police credit good collaboration between the local agencies and Pennsylvania State Police with allowing them to quickly find their suspect.
Late Thursday night, Pennsylvania State Police located Wayne Kozak at a motel in Erie, Pennsylvania. After a judge in Erie County, New York, signed an arrest warrant, Pennsylvania Police were able to enter the room and take the suspect into custody without incident.
"They used the arrest warrant to essentially break into the hotel room and go in and get him, and they found him in the bathroom of the hotel room," said Erie County DA John Flynn.
As of late Friday, Kozak was being held in Erie on an arrest warrant, awaiting a hearing in Erie city court about whether he will be extradited to western New York to face a 2nd degree murder charge here. He's due in court on Monday.
Flynn said Wayne may fight being extradited, but that it is rare.
Wayne Kozak allegedly killed his mother less than a week before his 49th birthday, records show.
Officials say it is too early in the investigation to comment on a potential motive.
This was the first murder in Eden in more than 30 years, Eden Police Chief Mike Felschow said. The last involved John Pinelli, a Buffalo man who was shot execution-style and found on Sept. 29, 1986, in a field off Jennings Road. Felschow said the community was shaken by the news.
"It gets around usually very fast in a small community like that. And this did. Once people found out, it did, it got out," he said. "It affected a lot of people, cause up there, a lot of people are related in that area, a lot of family up there."

Don't Do It!
force Suicide hurts more than just you. If you're depressed, there is a way out. The way out may not be easy, but taking your life is never the way out! People who have had near-death experiences due to the attempt to commit suicide often come back with the same message– it is a massive mistake. Sure, it's easy for one to say and almost impossible for one in a situation that seems impenetrable to believe. However, it is the truth. And the truth is one aspect... Read More

The Best Remote Cottages in Snowdonia | Wales
There is nowhere quite like Snowdonia in the rest of Britain. The combination of bleak, rugged mountains scarred by industry and the lush valleys with their puffing steam trains and babbling brooks snaking down to the sea, makes it a land of contrasts, a testament to man's constant battle to tame nature.
Snowdonia is pretty damn good at any time of the year but it's absolutely stunning in the autumn as the trees and bracken burn orange on the hillsides. Depending on where you live it's a big journey. Starting from, say, Manchester, you can be there in no time, but the trek from London is rather more tiresome. But don't let the grind of the M1 put you off upgrading the weekend you have planned 'doing chores' and watching Strictly to a short break in this beautiful part of the world. Every part of you will thank yourself for this retreat.
The weather in Snowdonia can of course be dreadful. But we live by the motto 'there is no such thing as bad weather only the wrong clothing' and the great thing about expecting rain is that when it fails to appear you will find yourself feeling inordinately happy. Last Saturday we awoke in our holiday cottage, having arrived in the pitch black the evening before, and looked out the window to see the autumn sunshine was lighting up the mountains as if it had put match to touchpaper. It was like looking out onto an oil painting.
The thing to do with Snowdonia is to go remote, find the perfect rural location and the most welcoming cottage and forget about stressful modern life. After all, all you really need at this time of year is a roaring log fire, a bottle of red, a decent book and a stew bubbling away in the oven and you're sorted.
Our insider secret is Under the Thatch. Their's is the best website for Welsh rental cottages and their ethos is about unspoilt, traditional dwellings in remote locations. Expect no wifi and no phone reception but do expect Melin Tregwynt blankets, ageless wooden furniture and flagstone floors.
Our favourite cottages are Cae Einion (which sleeps 4) and Gallestra (which sleeps 6), two homes owned by the same family, both situated in the same valley just outside the charming little town of Dolgellau, sitting at the base of the magnificent Cadair Idris (Idris's Chair) mountain. Gallestra and Cae Einion are the only two houses in sight, and you can do stunning walks straight from the house armed just with an OS map so there's not really any need to go anywhere at all. Both cottages are dog-friendly and have enclosed gardens, perfect for stopping your dog chasing the omnipresent sheep.
Yes it's far, but it's oh-so worth it and it's what your weekend has been waiting for.
Under The Thatch
beautifully, beautifully written annie… this is your calling!

- Kenya cannot account for all the public assets and the process to determine this would require another three years to come
- Bernard Ndung'u, the accountant general at the National Treasury, made the revelations on Tuesday, July 12
The Kenyan government has no exact details on the total assets it owns, Bernard Ndung'u, the senior national treasury official, says.
It is an example of a person who does not know what they own at the age of 50+ years.
This makes it even harder for the country to ascertain the revenue generated including the asset value across its platforms.
According to a report published by Standard Newspaper on Wednesday, June 13, the process to verify this would require another three years to come.
Attempts to account for government assets have further been dimmed by the exit of the Transition Authority before their terms expire due to political interference.
During its tenure, there has been a row between the Transition Authority and governors as well as the members of parliament over the boundaries as well as the money allocations from the National government.
Failure to have a register detailing the government assets always creates a vacuum for the well connected but greedy individuals to illegally grab assets for self-gain without any due diligence.
