Sennelier Oil Pastels (Pastels à l'Huile), manufactured in Paris, are made with carefully selected mineral and organic pigments, mixed with a specially formulated non-drying binder, and combined with the finest quality wax.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
Oxides of Cobalt and Chromium
Cobalt Chromite Blue is an opaque pigment with moderately low tinting strength.
Cobalt salts have excellent lightfastness and temperature stability.
Cobalt salts are toxic when ingested or inhaled, and slightly toxic on contact with the skin. Evidence of Chromium(III) carcinogenicity is inconclusive. Chromium(III) salts appear in greenish pigments.
Cobalt Turquoise, Shepherd Blue
beta copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blue PB15:3 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more greenish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

I have traveled to st. pete, odessa, and Kherson. The culture and eastern european life interest me. I currently manage an inpatient drug program in a prison and will receive a pension at age 50. I also have 4 years left in the air force national guard. I am considering retiring from both jobs at age 40 so I am guaranteed pensions and healthcare at age 60. I would probably get a CELTA certificate. My question to the group is can I make a career of teaching english with a bachelor's degree in sociology and CELTA certificate for 10-15 years in eastern europe? I will have some money saved and my pensions will help when I get older. So, I would use money earned from teaching, savings, and eventually 2 pensions totaling over $1000 a month to hopefully sustain a living in eastern europe for many years. Is this a reasonable plan or is this career more of a short-term travel back and forth kind of career? mike Back to top inmexicoJoined: 17 Jan 2003Posts: 110Location: The twilight zone Posted: Mon May 03, 2004 5:53 pm Post subject: With your creds. I don't see why your plan wouldn't be feasable. I think there are an abundant number of ESL teachers who approach this type of career with short-term in mind, but I know there are many that have been teaching for many years. If you already have the pension thing worked out....GO FOR IT!

The answer is, with a CELTA or Trinity, definitely. Once you have the qualification, if you're not fussy about exact location, it will be fairly easy. If you want to work in Ukraine, it shouldn't be too tough, but you might have to wait for the right opportunity since jobs aren't nearly as plentiful there as they are in Russia (there's a veritable glut of jobs in Moscow, a few in St Pete's (but more competition), and a smaller number of jobs in the Russian regions (but less competition)). If you have other questions, just ask. The people on this forum will prob. know the answer. udachi Back to top Communist SmurfJoined: 24 Jun 2003Posts: 330Location: San Francisco Posted: Tue May 04, 2004 1:28 pm Post subject: I recently read an article in the Moscow Times that the average *Russian* (not only Muscovite) makes $75 per month. So if you plan on living outside Moscow, your retirement pay will provide a vast safety buffer without a steady income. But there seem to be a lot more jobs in Moscow. In otherwords, yes your plan sounds good. If you plan on getting your CELTA, it's here in Moscow at BKC and LL. LL say they have it, but when you go to the U of Cambridge website, they only list BKC as having it in Moscow. BKC recently raised their price from something like $1200 to $1600 but LL is still $1200 (or atleast that's what the website says, it hasn't been updated in a while). It's still better than doing it in the states for $3000-3500. While we're on the subject of retirement (not that I'm close to retiring), I've met some retired Americans that have some form of identification that is similar to the American green card. It serves as your "entry and exit visa", your local identification, and your permission to work in Russia without a work permit. I can't remember what it's called... Does anyone know anything about this? The only person I had the opportunity to speak to about it wasn't sure just why he was entitled to have it, but he is married to a Russian and has lived in Russia for 10 years now. He said he knows of an American couple that also have it, but he said he thinks one of them was born in Russia. He also said it costs something like $50, which is much better than paying the big bucks for your own visa every year (which from what I understand can cost you as much as $600?). He told me he got it from UVIR. I'd go there and ask myself, but I think I'd rather sit at home and jab my eyes with an ice pick than go there. Besides that, it just looks cool. Anyone here got one? CS Back to top waxwingJoined: 29 Jun 2003Posts: 719Location: China Posted: Tue May 04, 2004 5:47 pm Post subject: Sadly, $600 is a realistic figure.. $200 for invitation + $200-$300 for the consular fee if you want processing in a day or two, + travel expenses. Neuzheli $3500 for a CELTA in the US?? Where? That's daylight robbery. In London it cost me 900GBP last year, that's about $1600 at today's exchange rates. As to that other document, I've never heard of it, but it sounds amazing. I'm not a USAnian anyway. Back to top Phillip DonnellyJoined: 24 Mar 2004Posts: 43 Posted: Thu May 06, 2004 10:34 am Post subject: I've just checked with teacher training at BKC-IH and the price of a CELTA is now 1500 dollars. Although we have raised the price in dollars, we have also lowered the price in pounds sterling due to the current strength of the pound and weakness in the dollar. As far as I know, Language Link are not running a CELTA this year and are not recognised by Cambridge as a training centre for this year. The word on the grapevine is that they dropped it as it wasn't profitable. Re coming to live in Moscow and teaching for a long time, I think it is definitely feasible. Many of the teachers here at BKC are of a similar age. Re where to work in Russia, I agree with the earlier entries that Moscow has far more work than the rest of Russia and demand for teachers exceeds supply at the moment. Back to top zanethJoined: 31 Mar 2004Posts: 545Location: Between Russia and Germany Posted: Thu May 06, 2004 3:11 pm Post subject: Sure it's feasible. Money isn't the only factor, of course. Also, Russia is changing. I could certainly live well on 1000 a month (oh man, like a king). But who knows by the time 60 rolls around? I don't trust these figures of 50 or 75 a month being the average income. Average official income, maybe. And this is for people with family, connections, already paid for apartments or old wooden houses or something. And they have vegetable gardens and stuff. Doesn't mean you can live well on that, or that you would want to. As for this miracle $50 green card, I find it (no offense Smurf) very unlikely. Sounds too good to be true. A few years back if you were married to a Russian all that stuff was easy. But no longer. The laws have changed several times since I've gotten here and I still haven't managed (for various reasons) to get the card. And last I heard you had to ask for permission to leave if you had the residence permit (though at this point I'd accept that trade-off). I just got a new visa and in addition to travel expenses I had to get insurance (granted a good thing to have anyway) for $200 and when I got back to Moscow the municipal office charged me another $200 to register in my Father in law's flat (I think this is to cover utilities for six months as utility charges are based on how many people are registered in the flat). I have to re-register in six months, I don't know if they'll charge me another $200. Smurf's right about the ice-pick. Be prepared. But it's a good place. If you have a little set aside, a way to earn some, and a pension in the future, you could do much worse than settle here. I have a university professor friend in the States who's trying to plan her retirement here. And personally, the wooden house, vegetable garden, and cow in the country sounds really nice to me, and I doubt if that option will disappear in the near future, despite the modernization of Moscow. Hey, I'd love to be proven wrong on the green card thing. Oh man I'd love to be free of that headache. See you soon.

You don't need to be a USAnian to get one, in fact it's the same ID that refugees are issued. I still don't know what it takes to get one and how the laws have changed but I'll mention something if I find something new. OVIR is my last resort. In the meantime, does anyone have an ice pick I can borrow? The guy I talked to that had one said he has no problems entering or leaving the country (he didn't tell me the last time he left/returned) so as far as I know he doesn't need to request permission to leave. I'll just mention that I consider him a very reliable source -- this isn't gossip (unless you question my credibility, in which case skip this post and move on). As far as the $75 per month, I just used that as an example to illustrate that getting a pension of $1000 per month is more than enough to survive on for a while, perhaps even in Moscow/Petersburg. Zaneth, you had to get medical insurance before you got your visa? I got my visa in January in Tallin and didn't need insurance but it seemed everyone else (non-Americans) needed it. Have the laws changed recently (I'm assuming you're American)? Waxwing, it's pretty ridiculous considering the extra money you pay in the states exceeds what it would cost you to travel to a foreign country and go on vacation for a month while taking the same course. It makes me wondering why they (teacher training programs in the states) think they can get away with charging so much. These same schools are sponsored by Dave's website.

Rules here are different at different times and different places. Usually it seems that the people in the offices don't even know the rules. It's a complicated trick getting anything done. Perhaps I could have gotten away without the insurance, or with a super skimpy one time payment policy. I decided to get my ducks in a row before I went, figuring that it would be cheaper to buy it in small town Russia than long-open-to-the-West Estonia. Last time I forgot to take pictures and they cost me a lot more in Estonia and cost me a day of time (though that ended up working out for the best - another story). I was just talking to a friend. He's Russian, his mother recently came here from a former republic. He said the vid na gitelstvo is the second stage. The first is for a temporary residence permit. It requires registration (permanent registration, where the owner gives you legal rights almost to or equal to their own), medical check (must be done at the assigned place), aids test, certificate from the home country saying you aren't a criminal (which must be notarized and apostilled, translated and notarized again), and some other odds and ends. I don't know if it requires marriage. My friend took about a week to gather the paperwork for his mother. Another person I know was doing paperwork for her American born son. They couldn't register at her parents house until they got permission from her brother, because he was also registered there. He lives abroad. After they got his (notarized) letter of permission they had to translate it (in Moscow) before they could register. This is for someone's parents house in a small town. Then there's something like a 3 year waiting period and then you get something else. Then after 5 years you can apply for citizenship. That's a sketch of the info as I have it. A lot of this is from recent changes. But I have heard bits and pieces of other information that didn't exactly fit into this plan. There very well might be other pathways.

2013 begins with a revitalized real estate market, the L.A. landscape churning again with profit-minded flippers gunning for quick rehabs. But among them is a firm carving their own, more mindful path: Re-Inhabit. A design+build partnership of passionate, highly skilled artisans, the Re-Inhabit approach can be found in the roots of their name, "restore and inhabit." Their latest effort, 1864 Lemoyne Street in Echo Park, will be open this coming weekend, Saturday & Sunday February 23 & 24 from 1 PM to 4 PM. This exclusive offering from Tracy Do Real Estate has a list price of $849,000.
1864 Lemoyne Street is a seamless blending of old and new. Prior to its ground-up renovation, every board, nail and knob of the structure was evaluated for adaptive re-use. The Re-Inhabit partners challenged themselves, like it was a big puzzle that had to be disassembled and put together again, only the pieces might be slotted into a different place. As a result, the wood siding from Lemoyne's once broken-down garage has been turned into the treads of its new stairway. Window panes have been removed, stripped, put back, and the iron kitchen sink has been cleaned up and re-installed. Plaster lath from Lemoyne's toppled walls was recycled — even as modern, top-of-the-line insulation materials were used to maximize energy conservation.
Creating a unique, detail-oriented residence, Re-Inhabit and Tracy Do Real Estate are proud to present this wonderful alternative to the many cookie-cutter remodels that have lately been on the market. For buyers who want more from their living environment, homes with distinction, soul, and a great story they can share, there is 1864 Lemoyne Street in Echo Park. www.1864lemoyne.com

For the record: Valentina Lisitsa is releasing a Liszt album on vinyl (Credit: Jon Crwys-Williams)
There is a truth, universally held among classical musicians, that old recordings are better than new. The absurdity of this proposition is obvious. It is the same as arguing that athletes and equipment in the 1948 London Olympics were superior to those of 2012. But where sport can prick pretension with statistics, music is a matter of faith — and faith, as Richard Dawkins refuses to accept, flourishes where reason ends.
In music, the flat-earthers are winning the argument. Listen carefully, the grinding noise you hear behind this column is the sound of the musical clock being turned back. Here's the latest news: the classical LP has resumed production.
Two influential conductors, Paavo Järvi and Gustavo Dudamel, have just made vinyl-only releases. The pianist Valentina Lisitsa— YouTube's most-watched classical artist — has a Liszt album coming out in analogue. A New York string quartet, Brooklyn Rider, issued their debut album on LP because, they say, "Vinyl creates a bridge to a past we deeply admire." Amazon has opened a Vinyl Store. And the fastest-growing area of US music sales, up 39.3 per cent, is, you guessed, the notoriously scratchy, inaccurate, superannuated, inconvenient, short-lasting, long-playing 33 rpm record.
After a quarter of a century of obsolescence, the LP is making a comeback worthy of any religious resurrection. How it has risen from charity shop basement to wealthy living room is a parable for our times, a classic example of popular resistance to the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence and market forces. This is a turnaround equivalent to the vindication of homeopathy, the revival of newsprint and the return of the French monarchy, a romantic defiance of intellect and reality.
The Old Believers give two reasons for revering LPs. The first, misty-eyed, proclaims that there were giants in past times who were closer than we are to the source of creation and thus greater than we can ever hope to be. There is no comeback to this claim. I have tried in vain to demonstrate how Riccardo Chailly's 2011 Decca set of the Beethoven symphonies is better played, in immaculate sound and with a clearer concept of structure than Toscanini's boxy platters on RCA Red Seal, but the OBs just plug their ears and go la-la-la.

Snug as a Bug: USU Biologist's Work Featured in 'National Geographic'
Thursday, Jul. 18, 2013
USU professor Carol von Dohlen's research on mealybugs and their symbiotic relationships with bacteria is featured in National Geographic's 'Phenomena' publication.
von Dohlen says mealybugs, close cousins of aphids, host two kinds of bacteria critical to the insects' survival. Her research reveals clues about the evolution of all organisms.
Recent findings about a tiny insect that harbors two microbes it couldn't survive without reveals a striking glimpse of how all organisms evolve.
Utah State University biologist Carol von Dohlen discovered the three-tiered symbiotic relationship of citrus mealybugs and two bacterial partners, Tremblaya princeps and Moranella endobia, back in 2001 and reported the findings in Nature.
"To our knowledge, this was the first documented report of intracellular symbiosis involving two species of bacteria," says von Dohlen, professor in USU's Department of Biology and the USU Ecology Center.
Her 2001 research and subsequent findings are featured in the June 20, 2013, issue of National Geographic Magazine's Phenomena science salon.
Close cousins of aphids, mealybugs feed on sweet plant sap but are unable to convert the sugary substance into life-sustaining protein. The insects' two bacterial residents work in tandem to convert the sap to amino acids, the building blocks of protein, to nourish their host.
"So we discovered the interdependence of these three organisms, none of which could survive without the others," von Dohlen says. "But we didn't know exactly how this weird association worked."
Enter microbiologist John McCutcheon of the University of Montana, who teamed with von Dohlen to sequence the bacteria's genomes and piece together each microbe's role in the trio's communal survival. The team's findings appeared in the Aug. 11, 2011, online edition of Current Biology.
To conduct the study, von Dohlen painstakingly extracted DNA from each bacterial partner by dissecting organs from the tiny bugs.
"It was very delicate work," she says. "I used a dissecting scope. Each mealybug is only a couple of millimeters long."
McCutcheon, assistant professor in UM's Division of Biological Sciences, conducted the meticulous process of mapping each bacterium's genes and their functions. His findings reveal that each bacterium has a very small, simple genome.
"The results are intriguing," von Dohlen says. "We discovered that each bacterium handles different steps of the mealybug's metabolic pathway and they don't duplicate efforts. Furthermore, we discovered that the mealybug also has a gene that contributes to this process that the bacteria don't possess. This may be the first documented evidence of this kind of triple 'tag-team' relationship."
The simple genomes and complementary nature of these microbes suggests that each partner has lost genes as they've settled into a comfortable, symbiotic environment, she says.
"Metabolic pathways that parallel and complement each other have been found in other organisms," von Dohlen says. "But to find one interdependent pathway where each partner has specific, unduplicated roles is extraordinary."
The findings, she says, shed light on the development of organelles: semi-independent units found inside the cells of all living things that possess a tiny portion of their own DNA and perform varied functions.
"Our studies could help us understand the evolution of mitochondria and other organelles essential for each living cell's survival," von Dohlen says.

Conferences, Notes of Issue, Withdrawal
Concerning: Procedures for Preliminary and Other Conferences / DCM Standards / Status Conferences / Changes to the Caption or Trial Status / Notes of Issue and the Trial Calendar / Withdrawal of Counsel / Subpoenaed Records /
1. Preliminary Conferences
Preliminary conferences sought by parties pursuant to Rule 202.12 of the Uniform Rules for the Trial Courts are scheduled upon filing with the General Clerk's Office (Room 119) of a request for a preliminary conference with proof of service. If the case has not yet been assigned to a Justice, the party must also submit an original and one copy of an RJI (UCS 840, revised 2011) with proof of service and an RJI addendum if required; and proof of purchase of the index number for the main action, if applicable, and payment of filing fees for all third-party actions. If the filing party wishes to have the case assigned to the Commercial Division, the preliminary conference request and RJI, marked to reflect a Commercial assignment, must be filed with the Commercial Division Support Office (Room 119 A) and must be accompanied by a Commercial Division RJI Addendum in support of the requested assignment. (Uniform Rule 202.70 (d). The conference is to be held within 45 days of filing the RJI. Uniform Rule 202.19. Likewise, if the case has been assigned to a Justice, the party must submit proof of payment of the filing fees for any third-party action (the County Clerk's computer will issue a receipt that can be used as such proof).
In an e-filed case, these documents shall be submitted by transmitting them to the New York State Courts Electronic Filing System.
For more information on the filing of the RJI, click here.
The preliminary conference shall take place at the Justice's regularly scheduled conference time, which can be found in the Uniform Rules of the Justices. To receive notice of the date and time scheduled for the preliminary conference, counsel should sign up for, and enter the case in, the court system's case tracking program, e-Track. To access e-Track, click here. This service, which is free of charge, will provide prompt e-mail notification not only of the scheduling of this conference, but of all other developments in the case that are recorded in the court's computer history program, the Civil Case Information System ("CCIS"). This service can accommodate, and will provide notification with regard to, all of an attorney's or firm's cases pending in this court.
The Supreme Court Records On-Line Library ("Scroll") on this website also contains information on future appearances in our court, as do various private attorneys' service and information programs.
If counsel submit, prior to the scheduled conference date, a completed preliminary conference stipulation and order form, and the court finds no problems, counsel need not appear and the court will remove the case from the conference calendar and make an entry in the court computer or mark the calendar with the future appearance date stipulated in the form. Uniform Rule 202.12(b). Under the Differentiated Case Management ("DCM") system (Uniform Rule 202.19), all disclosure must be completed within eight, 12 or 15 months in expedited, standard and complex cases, respectively, with the time period running from the filing of the RJI. (Cases are assigned to a track upon the filing of the RJI.) Commercial and medical malpractice cases are treated by the court as complex matters. Matrimonial and tax certiorari cases are assigned to special tracks. Most other cases are assigned to the standard track. If the stipulation and order form is not submitted, the preliminary conference shall take place.
At a preliminary conference the court will, at the request of a party or on its own, confirm or modify the DCM track to which the case was assigned when the RJI was filed, and will establish a schedule within the DCM deadline for completion of pre-trial proceedings. The court will also address, to the extent appropriate, limitation of issues, addition of parties and settlement. Uniform Rule 202.12(c). Failure to comply with the terms of a preliminary conference order, and making frivolous motions, shall, in the discretion of the court, result in the imposition of costs or other sanctions on the offending party. Uniform Rule 202.12(f). Particular attention is drawn to deadlines for adding parties, completing all discovery and filing a note of issue, as these dates are important to efficient case management.
The plaintiff must file a Notice of Medical, Dental or Podiatric Malpractice Action in cases of those types within 60 days of joinder of issue or after the time for a defaulting party to appear has expired. The Notice must be accompanied by an RJI if the case is unassigned. CPLR 3406; Rule 202.56(a). The proposed Notice and RJI must be submitted to the General Clerk's Office for approval (after which the RJI fee is paid in Room 160). The assigned Justice shall conduct a preliminary conference as soon as practicable after the filing of the Notice and shall schedule disclosure proceedings so as to expedite a final disposition of the matter. Rule 202.56(b).
The progress of cases in the court is governed by standards and goals, which exist both for pre-note and post-note periods. The standards and goals for DCM cases are eight, 12 or 15 months pre-note (i.e., these are the same as the periods provided by the DCM tracks pre-note), and 15 months post-note. However, Uniform Rule 202.19 requires that a pretrial conference be held within 180 days from filing of the note of issue, with trial to occur within eight weeks from the conference.
Although Uniform Rule 202.19 sets a standard and goal for the filing of a note of issue and the court's computer automatically calculates the standard and goal therefor in each case from RJI and in accordance with the DCM track of the case for the purposes of tracking standards and goals and compliance therewith in the court, the date for filing of the note of issue set by the assigned Justice in the preliminary conference order or in any other directive is the deadline to which the parties must adhere. That deadline may be shorter than that fixed by standards and goals, or it may be longer if circumstances require. See Section 202.19 (b).
2. Other Conferences
Compliance and pretrial conferences are fixed by the Justice either (i) in a discovery scheduling order issued at a preliminary conference or compliance conference or (ii) in a decision on a motion. Scheduling notices are not sent by the court for these conferences. Attorneys may obtain such notification by e-mail by entering their cases into the e-Track program.
3. Status Conferences
Our court may, from time to time, schedule status conferences in the Part. With respect to the latter, the court, at the request of a Justice, will mail notices to the attorneys in each of the cases in an inventory that have been selected to undergo this procedure. These notices announce that counsel must appear on a given date pursuant to a directive of the presiding Justice. Failure to respond will result in appropriate judicial action (not, however, including a markoff pursuant to CPLR 3404; see Johnson v. Sam Minskoff & Sons, 287 A.D.2d 233, 735 N.Y.S. 2d 503 (lst Dept. 2001)( holding that CPLR 3404 does not apply to pre-note cases)). When counsel appear, the Justice will make whatever order is required to insure future progress in the case.
If a motion affecting the caption or the trial status of a case (e.g., a motion to correct a caption, to substitute a party, to amend, to strike a note of issue, or to obtain a preference) is granted, the prevailing attorney must serve a copy of the court's order on both the County Clerk and the General Clerk's Office. Because the court issues over 30,000 decisions on motions each year and many long form orders as well, neither the County Clerk nor the court's Clerks Offices can read all decisions/orders searching for judicial directives on these matters. Counsel must bring them to the attention of the County Clerk and the relevant Clerk's Office. See CPLR 8019 (c). Both the County Clerk and General Clerk's Office must be served with copies of orders regarding captions, etc. since each office maintains computer records on cases in our court but these records are not connected to one another.
A note of issue must of course be filed in order to place a case on the calendar for trial (CPLR 3402(a)), including inquests or framed issue hearings before a Justice (but not hearings conducted by a Referee). The fees for filing a note of issue and jury demand must be paid to the County Clerk (Room 160 at 60 Centre Street) first (fees are $ 30 and $ 65 respectively). A note of issue must be filed with the General Clerk's Office, accompanied by a certificate of readiness, an affirmation of counsel reciting compliance with any preliminary conference order, a copy of such order and an affidavit of service. Uniform Rule 202.21. If an attorney wishes to file a note of issue late, the clerk's office will seek authorization from the assigned Justice to accept it; the court can authorize a late filing by endorsement on the note (a notation of "OK to file by _______" with a signature by the Justice will suffice); or the parties may seek an extension from the court by presenting a stipulation for "so ordering." In light of DCM deadlines, counsel should not assume that extensions, even by stipulation, can be had without good cause.
Atttorneys who appear in cases in the court should check the court's Civil Case Information System (computerized case history system) or the attorney listings in our court's Supreme Court Records On-Line Library ("Scroll") on this website to be sure that their appearance has been correctly recorded there.
An attorney of course can withdraw from a representation without court approval upon filing a consent to change counsel. Consents to change attorneys must be filed in the General Clerk's Office so that the court's computer can be modified to reflect accurately the representations in the case. Filing with the County Clerk does not suffice since, as noted, the two offices maintain separate computer systems.
Absent the proper filing of a consent, an attorney will continue as attorney of record, irrespective of discord with the client or longstanding inability to contact the client, unless the attorney obtains judicial approval to withdraw. The attorney must make a motion for leave to withdraw. If the motion is granted, outgoing counsel must of course comply with all terms of the court's order. A copy of the order must be served by the attorney on both the County Clerk and the General Clerk's Office so that each may modify its records.

New ideas in low-energy tests of fundamental physics
Atomic magnetometers have a long history in tests of Standard Model since they provide sensitive constraints on new spin interactions. I will review recent progress in magnetometry using electron and nuclear spins, describe some of the limits set on new physics and discuss ideas for future experiments.
In the low energy re¬gime, precision measurements of spin precession have gained increased attention as an alternative pathway to physics beyond the standard model. These measurements aim at the detection of minute frequency changes superimposed on low Larmor frequencies at extremely weak magnetic fields. Such measurements require an effective shielding against the magnetic field of the Earth and other perturbations.
In our talk we seek to present a broad overview of the field of optical magnetometers, starting from basic principles to fundamental limitations to the variety of applications in which they have already found use. We will end with a report on the development of a new worldwide network of synchronized magnetometers that can be used to search for a variety of new physical phenomena (many of which are discussed at this conference!).
We consider pseudo-scalar and pseudo-vector interaction of atomic electrons with hypothetical dark matter particles (e.g., axions). These interactions lead to oscillating atomic parity non-conserving (PNC) amplitudes and/or oscillating electric dipole moments (EDM). In static
limit for PNC, existing atomic PNC experiments can be used to constrain time component of the pseudo-vector field.
We discuss new observable effects of axionic dark matter in atoms, molecules and nuclei. We show that the interaction of an axion field, or in general a pseudoscalar field, with the axial-vector current generated by an electron through a derivative-type coupling can give rise to a time-dependent mixing of opposite-parity states in atomic and molecular systems. Likewise, the analogous interaction of an axion field with the axial-vector current generated by a nucleon can give rise to time-dependent mixing of opposite-parity states in nuclear systems.
More often than not, astrophysical probes are superior to direct laboratory tests when considering light, very weekly interacting particles and it takes clever strategies and/or ultra-pure experimental setups for direct tests to be competitive. In this talk, I will review the astrophysical side of the story with a particular focus on dark photons and axion-like particles. I will also present some recent results on the emission process of dark photons with mass below 10 keV from the interior of stars.

After a remarkable fall season Olivares will start 2009 as the No. 9th ranked player in the country according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). This marks the first time in ITA history that an Atlantic Sun Conference player received a top-10 ranking. This also marks only the second time in school history that a Buccaneer player received a top-10 ranking by the ITA (current ETSU head coach Yaser Zaatini was ranked No. 4th in 1993).
"For Enrique to be ranked in the top-10 is something that I don't have words to describe," said Zaatini. "If you put this in perspective it's like someone being a top-10 draft pick in the NBA or NFL. There are hundreds of Division I men's tennis players in the country and one of the nations elite resides right here at ETSU."
After starting the fall season ranked No.31st Olivares put together a magic run, which included going 15-3 in singles play. In his final tournament of the fall the 2008 All-American outlasted 24 of the top ITA singles players at the prestigious ITA National Indoor Championships in
Additionally, notable opponents Olivares defeated during fall play include current preseason ranked No. 11 Michael Shabaz of
"Just look at the level of the competition Enrique defeated tournament after tournament," said Zaatini. "When I look back at all the exciting matches he railed through it sends chills down my back. Here is a young man that ETSU and the
Over his career Olivares has received a number of accomplishments and awards, which include being named two-time A-Sun Tournament MVP and a three-time A-Sun First-team member. Also the ETSU senior was named the 2007-08 A-Sun Player of the Year, while earning his way to the NCAA Singles Championship Round of 16 a year ago.

Dear Patty and Sandy,
What are some good ways to help others when you are a working mother of very small children? It is easy enough to decide where to send our pittance of charity dollars every month. But it's harder to give of myself. Are there any good options for those useful hours between 4 a.m and 6 a.m?
Casey, your idea of using the wee hours of the morning is admirable, but I would also caution you to take care of yourself. You want your "Goodness" to last for the long haul!
Too many of us trot out the excuse, "I want to volunteer, but I can't get there because …" Thanks to the Internet, phone, and virtual work of all kinds, that is no longer viable. "Virtual volunteering" is now a big part of the volunteer sector. My 84-year-old mom has a tough time getting around in the winter, but she volunteers from her living room as a phone screener for families seeking social services. She is not alone. There are "virtual jobs" of all kinds that can be done from your home and have real impact on issues you care about—from part-time Web designer, to fundraiser, to Wikipedia content screener, to homework tutor. If you want to go global, even the United Nations has a great resource for online volunteering.
Whether you are co-opting your playgroup to talk about the need for better local parks or becoming a virtual volunteer, start with an issue you care about and have energy for—and then decide what time commitment you can make. Be sure to aim low—better to underpromise and overdeliver than to disappoint an already-strapped nonprofit.
My mom is absolutely right that virtual volunteer opportunities abound and are increasing daily. Kids who grew up on the Internet are pushing NGOs to use the Web to their benefit and harness the goodwill of people exactly like you. If you can't find a virtual volunteering job right up your alley, contact an organization whose work you admire and offer your services. The organization might be willing to start a virtual volunteer program.
One thing that small service or advocacy organizations often have the hardest time with is their communications and outreach. They don't have the staff to do all the work it takes to stay in the public eye. This kind of communications work is something that can easily be done by volunteers working from home. Offer your services, stay current on their issues in the news, and let them know where you see opportunities for media coverage or community engagement. Blog, Twitter, or Facebook about them—anything to get them on the map and encourage like-minded individuals to donate their time or money.
If you want something more concrete and interactive, another idea is to participate in an online mentoring program. You can e-mentor students as close as the local junior high or as far away as Africa, which might be ideal, given your time constraints. A good program should have an application process, a background check, and a thorough training program. Just type "mentor" into Volunteer Match's virtual volunteering section, and you'll find tons of organizations looking for volunteers.
As the youngster of the team, I also want to point out the excellent and possibly unconsidered benefit of your efforts: the wonderful example volunteering sets for your children. Kids who grow up in households where their parents volunteer are more likely to do so themselves—and when they start working at the local food bank in the afternoons, you can shift your hours to join them and sleep in a bit!
Do you have a real-life do-gooding dilemma? Please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and Patty and Sandy will try to answer it.
In our ongoing effort to do better ourselves, we're donating 25 percent of the proceeds from this column to ONE.org—an organization committed to raising public awareness about the issues of global poverty, hunger, and disease and the efforts to fight such problems in the world's poorest countries.

Campus Life
The campus of IST Austria is located in Klosterneuburg, a historical town to the northwest of Vienna. The campus lies in the beautiful landscape of the Vienna Woods, only 18 km away from the city center of the Austrian capital. IST Austria operates a convenient and fast Shuttle Bus that runs from Heiligenstadt to the campus between Monday and Friday on an hourly basis.
The campus has tremendous potential, consisting of large green park-like spaces (179,000 m²) and an additional area of 25,000 m² for a planned technology park. The Bertalanffy Foundation Building, the Lab Building East, and the Central Building with the Raiffeisen Lecture Hall, which was efficiently adapted for the needs of a first class research institute, blend in with the old pavilion-like edifices from the late 19th century. Other facilities include apartments, a guesthouse, a cafeteria, a pub, the "Fröschkönig" kindergarten, a soccer field, a tennis court, and the Art/Brut Center gugging museum.

Metal Blade Records Dubs Trenton Titans the 'Official Hockey Team of Metal'
Hockey is the sports equivalent of extreme metal. Much like the pit at any metal show, the hockey rink is home to copious amounts of blood, brutal fights, broken teeth, shattered bones and all that good stuff. Metal Blade Records obviously shares that sentiment, as the label is teaming up with minor league ice hockey team the Trenton Titans, who are now the official hockey team of metal.
Although the death metal mecca is widely thought to be placed in lovely Tampa, Fla., and America's thrash capital resides in the sunny Bay Area of San Francisco, metal's official ice hockey team is based in Trenton, N.J. The partnership between Metal Blade Records and the Trenton Titans will result in a number of cross-promotions over the next few months.
Metal Blade Records celebrated their 30th anniversary of bringing the brutality to the masses in 2012, and have started off year No. 31 by teaming up with the Trenton Titans for the unique cross-promotion. Metal Blade founder Brian Slagel is an avid sports fan, even co-hosting the 'Metal Misconduct' podcast with NHL.com's Shawn Roarke. Merging the world of sports with metal music, Slagel and Roarke have welcomed guests such as Drew Safford (Buffalo Sabres), Josh Barnett (MMA), Kyle Turley (Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints) and many more.
The Trenton Titans are affiliated with the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers. For all updates on metal's official hockey team, follow the Trenton Titans on their Twitter and Facebook pages along with their official website. Also, check out Metal Blade Records' revamped website.

Mobile phones revolutionizing education in Africa
In parts of Africa where traditional classroom education is inaccessible, people have taken education into their own hands by utilizing mobile phones and laptops. This innovative way of garnering information, known as eLearning, provides great potential to expand education.
Photo: Ken Banks, Attribution License
"Interest in technology-supported learning is constantly increasing in Africa," Rebecca Stromeyer, managing director of International Conferences, Workshops and Exhibitions (ICWE), told MediaGlobal. "eLearning supports lifelong learning, providing access to a global knowledge base and facilitating cooperation and information-sharing."
Utilizing mobile phones for informal learning will be the focus of a seminar at ELA titled African Digital Diaries lead by Adam Salkeld and Stephen Haggard.
Salkeld and Haggard's session spotlights success stories through informal and incidental eLearning.

The B.C. government, in its August 25th Speech from the Throne, reiterated its intent to press forward with alternative power sources.
This government will implement an aggressive strategy to turn the challenge of climate change to our citizens' economic advantage.
Green energy will be a cornerstone of British Columbia's climate action plan.
Electricity self-sufficiency and clean, renewable power generation will be integral to our effort to fight global warming.
The BC Utilities Commission will receive specific direction.
Phasing out Burrard Thermal is a critical component of B.C.'s greenhouse gas reduction strategy.
Further, this government will capitalize on the world's desire and need for clean energy, for the benefit of all British Columbians.
Whether it is the development of Site C, run-of-river hydro power, wind, tidal, solar, geothermal, or bioenergy and biomass — British Columbia will take every step necessary to become a clean energy powerhouse, as indicated in the BC Energy Plan.
Government will use the means at its disposal to maximize our province's potential for the good of our workers, our communities, our province and the planet.
While these forms of power require greater investment, in the long run, they will produce exponentially higher economic returns to our province, environmental benefits to our planet and jobs throughout British Columbia.
I wonder when it will come back and bite us on our financial asses as it apparently has done in Ontario.
Today it became public that Hydro One has asked the Ontario Energy Board for permission to raise the cost of distribution to all Ontario customers an average of 9.5% in 2010 and 13.3% in 2011 to cover $266 million dollars in costs relating to their four year Green Energy Plan for 2010 to 2014. By 2011 the impact of this $266 million will be an average increase of 24.3% over two years on the delivery portion of every Ontarian's hydro bill. Because each public utility is a customer of Hydro One, it doesn't matter who sells you your electricity – this impacts you.
Between the provincial government driving up our gasoline prices to discourage us from driving and the very real possibility of our power costs rising as the province pushes for alternative energy sources, B.C. could become an increasingly expensive place to live.

I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I love seeing breastfeeding in public, on TV, whenever it is treated as a normal activity, not as something unusual. My friend Elita of Blacktating feels as I do and she pointed me towards a music video by Erykah Badu that offered just that.
In the studio version of the video for Badu's song "Fall in Love," she nurses her daughter Mars while singing in a room with others. Her boyfriend Jay Electronica is sitting nearby.
Totally natural. Very beautiful.
LOVE! Check out the video:
Not that I'm super-surprised to see this from Erykah Badu. She and Electronica tweeted constant updates during her home birth of Mars, her third child, and she homeschools her kids. She also has talked about how extended/full-term nursing her son, despite her fears that it would foster dependency, ended up creating a very independent and confident little boy.
Oh yeah, and she's vegan too.
With people like Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr visible with their natural birth, breastfeeding, and babywearing, and women like Erykah Badu being so open with nursing that she puts it in a music video, I'm feeling pretty good today about some of the celebrity parents out there.
How do you feel about Erykah nursing in her video?

Title VI: Race-Based Harassment:
University of California at San Diego (CA) (#09116901)
OCR conducted a directed investigation of a number of widely-publicized incidents of racial discrimination and harassment at the University and the University's response to those incidents. The investigation included a review of the University's policies and procedures for responding to student complaints of racial discrimination and racially-biased incidents. OCR conducted the investigation with the U.S. Department of Justice.
Prior to the completion of OCR's investigation, the University voluntarily asked OCR and the DOJ to resolve this directed investigation. The Agreement, signed on April 9, 2012, requires the University to fully and appropriately resolve complaints of discrimination and harassment; to remedy the effects of discrimination and harassment and eliminate any hostile environment that may have resulted; and to revise its policies and procedures concerning discrimination and harassment to ensure that they are designed to prevent harassment from occurring. The University is required to provide bi-annual reports to OCR until 2015, detailing records of all discrimination complaints received, the investigation of those complaints, and a description of how the complaints were resolved. In addition, the University must maintain records related to allegations of race discrimination and racial harassment for a period of no less than five years from the date of their creation. The University is required to develop a comprehensive plan for conducting annual training for faculty, staff, administrators and students on the policies and procedures concerning discrimination and harassment.

This blog shows my recycled denim creations, along with tutorials for items I have designed myself. I collect old jeans (a strange collection, I know!) and cut them up to make bags, purses, animals and other items of varying sizes and shapes. I then sell these to raise money for weomen and children in the town of Utange, near Mombasa, in Kenya. I help women to set up their own businesses and am supporting the building of a new school for disabled children.

Hey, Kipford I just talked to Tanya over at Case and she explained the loan process to me. On the Case finincial aid website, accept the amount of aid that you want.Then for Federal Stafford and Plus loans we have to choose a lender. Then once your lender approves you, then Case approves the amount of aid. I choose Access Group, and I found them to be pretty helpful. They were quick and helpful in answering all of my questions. You can apply over the phone (800)282-1550 or online.

In The Spotlight
Walter Nones was also a remarkable acrobat and a superb animal trainer; he had an engaging personality—as much when ha addressed his audience as when, away from the spotlight, he acted as the "general" of his enterprises, or in his dealing with the media and the Italian administration. Endowed with a solid intuition and a rare ability for taking calculated risks, he was able to change directions and diversify his company many times; his constant imperative was novelty, for which he was faithful to the style and methods of the great Italian variety entrepreneurs.
Walter Nones was able to build with his wife, Moira Orfei, a legend that went well beyond their circus—a circus that was certainly unique in the fact that it traveled constantly for fifty-five years without ever taking a true break! Nones was among the Italian pioneers of the internationalization of show business and, as such, he even became instrumental in the establishment of new relations between the former URSS and the Vatican.
Walter Nones was born in Trent, capital of the Trentino province in northern Italy, on June 18, 1934, the oldest of the four children of Giuseppe Nones and his wife, Adele, née Medini, a circus artist. Giuseppe was a cabinet maker; he spent his life between his workshop and the gym, following in that an old Trent tradition: A great number of its citizens had developed over the years a passion for gymnastics....

SPM needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 36 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Scientific Productivity Methods is a company that uses scientific methods to increase the productivity of individuals (not companies). A key target market are people who procrastinate and struggle against themselves to get things done.
Scientific Productivity Methods
We want a heraldic crest logo with a modern feel that conveys authority and trust. No text or lettering is required on the logo and scientific references or symbols are not necessary.
Symbols used should represent characteristics such as industry, productivity, overcoming adversity, courage, strength of mind, intelligence. E.g. naked arm, bee, bull, chess rook, duck, lion, lozenge, unicorn
For ideas on symbols and meanings check out fleurdelis
A modern example that I like is here only I'd like the logo to look more solid and less flat (perhaps with a more ornate border, but not necessarily 3D).
- IBM blue and white, or IBM blue and gold color scheme
- Solid and robust design
- Convey authority and trust
- Use appropriate heraldic symbols
- Modern design with classic styling
- The art in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator
- test tubes, atomic symbols and other corny associations with science
- highly ornate crest
- gothic or medieval design style
- religious symbols

The Saint Louis County Assessor's Office discovers, identifies, classifies and assesses all real and personal property within Saint Louis County. Functionally, the Office is comprised of:
The County Assessor is required by Missouri State Statute 137.115 to establish the fair market value of all real property as of January 1 of every odd year (like 2011 and 2013). The assessed value is applied to the tax rates established by the taxing districts to determine the amount of tax levied against a property.
The reassessment process involves establishing the value of about 389,000 parcels of real property, providing owners the opportunity to appeal, then finalizing, certifying and communicating the values to the individual taxing districts.
Throughout the process, the staff of the Assessor's Office makes every effort to treat our customers fairly and to provide information in a clear and accessible manner.

A Republican proposal to raise Medicare's eligibility age gradually from 65 to 67 has gotten the cold shoulder from congressional Democrats, but an awkward silence from the White House.
While it may be the latest bargaining chip in the high-stakes "fiscal cliff" negotiations, the measure could be a risky gamble with the health and finances of millions of ailing seniors, experts say.
Delaying program entry until age 67 would accomplish a top Republican desire to cut spending on Medicare, the popular but costly federal health insurance plan for the elderly.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that slowly hiking Medicare's eligibility age by two months a year – from age 65 in 2014 to age 67 in 2027 – would cut program spending by $148 billion over the next decade. But it also would lead non-Medicare health expenditures to increase, lowering the overall federal savings to $113 billion, the CBO found.
In negotiations with Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, to avert a series of tax increases and federal spending cuts dubbed the fiscal cliff, President Barack Obama already has offered $400 billion in Medicare spending cuts over 10 years. But he hasn't said where the cuts would come from, leaving open at least the possibility that Medicare's eligibility age could be in play.
An earlier budget plan offered by House of Representatives Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, also included a phase-in plan for raising the eligibility age.
In a letter to the president Thursday, 82 House Democrats urged him to oppose hiking the eligibility age, saying it would leave 270,000 seniors without insurance.
Raising the age also would increase out-of-pocket medical costs for those ages 65 and 66. That's because they won't have full coverage through Medicare until age 67, and would have to pay more for health coverage purchased on the new state insurance exchanges being established under the health care overhaul.
"Our nation's older Americans have worked a lifetime for the promise of Social Security and Medicare," the Democrats' letter said. "For those 65- and 66-year-olds who would now be denied the security of Medicare, their out-of-pocket costs would increase by $3.7 billion."
The Democrats cited a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health-policy research and communications organization, that found that if the eligibility age went from 65 to 67 in a year, costs to states and the private sector would be nearly twice as large as the federal savings: $11.4 billion versus $5.7 billion.
Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said Thursday that the Obama administration had assured him that the eligibility age "is no longer one of the items being considered by the White House."
But White House spokesman Jay Carney walked back Durbin's comments, saying, "We're not going to engage in hypotheticals about what a package would look like tomorrow on the spending cut side, negotiated with the Republicans."
In an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters that will be broadcast Friday night, Obama said it wasn't clear that a higher eligibility age "saves a lot of money. But what I've said is, let's look at every avenue."
In last year's negotiations with Boehner on raising the debt ceiling, news outlets reported that Obama had offered to raise Medicare's eligibility age as part of a "grand bargain" in which Republicans would agree to certain tax increases.
There's a precedent for doing so. Since 2000, the full retirement age under Social Security has risen gradually from age 65 up to age 66 for those born from 1943 to 1954, and up to 66 and 10 months for those born from 1955 to 1959. It rises to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later.

Insulin is a hormone which regulates how sugar is processed in the body. It was named in 1909 by Jean de Meyer after the so-called islets of Langerhans, the structures in the pancreas which produce the hormone.
Insulin disturbance causes diseases such as diabetes. Before the development of a method to isolate and produce insulin, many diabetics fell into a coma and died for the lack of treatment. Insulin is used in the metabolism of almost all animals. Since the 1920s it has been derived from the pancreas of animals such as pigs, cows, horses and fish, and used to treat human patients.
Today, 'human' insulin can be made using genetically manipulated bacteria into which a human gene has been inserted to produce insulin. Because the molecule breaks down in the digestive tract it is usually injected directly into the bloodstream, rather than swallowed. Dosage is difficult, and different technologies have been developed to help patients regulate their insulin intake, such as insulin pumps or insulin pens.
