why does the whole thing have accents, why not just the first few chapters, and all the new words
Episcopus wrote:I think that macrons are great. I feel weaker when I read a text without macrons. And I like to write macrons also. They are pretty.
Ulpianus wrote:You could make almost an opposite argument though. You could say: marking vowels as long means that people don't really bother to learn them at all
On consonant u: it's not only old Oxford texts that prefer it; there is something of a purist mania for it in Britain generally
Episcopus wrote:Shut yo mouf I do in fact know all the long and short vowels of each word that I learn. Coming hither insulting me and macrons.
And that whole Italian Latin thing is quite pathetic it's for those who will not dare pronounce it properly.
Ulpianus wrote: Macrons pepper it with ghastly interlinear acne.
benissimus wrote:Episcopus, he made a thoughtful and worthy argument against the use of macrons and I cannot understand why you would accuse him of attacking you. I would be obliged if you would either respond in an equally civil way or else refrain from responding at all.
xn wrote:Ulpanius: In the absence of a knowledgable speaker, would you prefer an accompanying IPA transcription to the presence of macrons for learning the pronunciations of unfamiliar Latin words? Presuming that English is your mother tongue, perhaps your aesthetic distaste for macrons comes from an English typographical background? (That is, would a native speaker of a language that uses macrons [e.g. Latvian] find an absence of macrons similarly jarring?) I wonder if the evenness of the macronless 'Latin' gibberish line would be due more to a greater ratio of x-height letters to ascending/descending letters than a typical 'English' gibberish line would have? As an aside, do you also prefer monotonic Greek to polytonic Greek? (I don't have the medical background to come up with a polytonic Greek analogue to the Latin macron 'acne'…)
I made it clear that I am not against macrons in dictionaries or vocabulary lists, or in paradigms, or even right at the start.
There's something to be said for marking them in dictionaries, and learning when one learns the word (but not as macrons: one should learn how the word is pronounced).
KICargill wrote:Macrons are not just useful with dead languages (though that's where they are usually employed), but in learning modern languages. Indeed, I think the foreign student of English would benifit from marking quantity when he writes out verb paradigms, e.g., in "drive, drove, driven", the theme vowels for the first two parts are long, whereas the participle is short.

Posted on May 15, 2013
The word magazine comes from an Arabic word meaning a storehouse. It has, in fact, been used for years in English with just that meaning, frequently in military or naval contexts. A related use is the magazine of a gun or a camera, an object in which bullets or film has been stored. You can see how the use of the word for a periodical came about: a number of things can be stored on the pages. Nowadays, you don't need paper or ink, since there are newsmagazine shows and online magazines.
A magazine can also be defined as something which is honking heavy when packed a hundred or so to a box. You will not find this in Wikipedia, friends: it's a Blogsy exclusive.
See, nowadays the vast majority of magazines clinging to life in an online world concentrate heavily on pictures. Pictures print more beautifully on a slick paper known in the trade as clay-based paper. The clay in the paper is what gives it its sheen. And its weight.
This last ten days or so, we have been given a whole lot of clay, frequently in great big boxes. This kind of contravenes two basic rules of our little Book Fair, tapioca tartare. One: if the three of you can barely lift it, what do you think I can do with it? (Mind your manners, friend: I heard that.) And two: we really don't sell many magazines.
We do put out just about any comic book, and any magazine over a century old ought to find a buyer somewhere. But that stack of health and diet magazines you were going to get around to clipping articles from for your daughter-in-law really could go into the recycling bin. (Especially if you've already clipped the articles and are sending me the leftovers. Anyhow, don't buy any more: I just saw your daughter-in-law at Dunkin Donuts. She wasn't there for the coffee.)
Yes, the New Yorker has lots of fine stuff in it. That's why people stack them up intending to read them someday. Yes, your Reader's Digests are in fine condition. No, I'm not arguing that YOUR National Geographics are any worse than anybody else's National Geographics. There are too many of these things in the Metropolitan Area, Twinkie Chowder: I can't make room for them at the Book Fair without adding another wing to the library. (The same goes for most of your back issues of People magazine, though I do flip through the Celebrities With Cellulite special editions before throwing them away.)
Yes, I will take those special issues on September 11 or the death of Princess Di you've been hoarding. (I have two BOXES full of this stuff so far this year, but as me dear old mother always told me, "Some idiot will buy it. I did.") But, um, that special 25th anniversary issue of Road & Track is not going to make enough money for me to build that library wing.
I do take old Playboys, because they are Collectible. They collect in the vault because people don't buy them, but I'm sure I will one day meet a Barbi Benton collector who will pay for her centerfolds. (Anyway, there are cartoons. Any magazine with enough cartoons gets a…no, no, wait! PLEASE don't send me those six boxes of Saturday Review! Great cartoons, but it was another weekly magazine people planned to read and never got around to.)
We like history magazines and art magazines and some, though not all, architectural magazines. Magazines dedicated to a single craft—quilting, rubber stamping, making Halloween spiders out of old twist ties—have a chance. Even those, however, we prefer in boxes of reasonable size.
Oh, and, um, I hate to make life difficult, but there is one other rule. I understand, really I do, but so will your recycler. We just got some reasonable size boxes of very attractive and collectible magazines, all in sharp readable shape because the previous owner set them aside to read and never got around to them. She, er, set them in the basement in a house well below the waterline.
If you have twenty magazines in a box but when you pick up one, you pick up all twenty, give it to some other worthy charity. I do not have a category for magazines which are mutating into something else.

Freezing temperatures in the last few weeks have given Arkansas its first taste of winter, a sign to be prepared for ice and snow ahead.
LITTLE ROCK – Freezing temperatures in the last few weeks have given Arkansas its first taste of winter, a sign to be prepared for ice and snow ahead.
Gov. Mike Beebe has proclaimed Nov. 12-16 as Winter Weather Awareness Week in Arkansas, according to the National Weather Service. Although last winter was mild, predicting what will happen this winter is made difficult by a weak and El Nino that's already weakening and the Arctic oscillation, an Arctic pressure pattern.
"The difficulty in making long range outlooks is that what the Arctic oscillation is going to do can generally be foreseen only a couple of weeks in advance, thus even if the arctic oscillation were going to be a major factor this coming winter, that could not be forecast at this point," the National Weather Service said.
Even if no one can control the weather, it can't hurt to be prepared for the worst that winter might bring.
"Everyone needs to get their shelter-at-home kits ready now," said Deborah Tootle, association professor of Community and Economic Development for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. "They should also think about keeping a full tank of gas, blankets and emergency food and water in their cars."
The Cooperative Extension Service has a preparedness fact sheet, "Be Aware and Prepare: Winter Storms," available for download at:
For more information on disaster preparedness, visit www.uaex.edu, www.arcommunities.org/, or contact your local county agent.
The Cooperative Extension Service is part of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and offers its programs to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other legally protected status, and is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.

below is from a Scammer! Some of the emails
may not look like scams, but they all lead to the same
thing. The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money
order) for more then the pet is worth, then they will
ask you to send them back the difference in money. A
couple weeks later you find out the check was fake and
the bank will take it out of your account. This scam
can be set up several ways.
key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

Cardboard and ice are causing some problems, but county officials and citizens seem satisfied so far with the Lenawee County recycling facility opened in November in Adrian.
"All in all, I feel things are going pretty well," said Robert Knoblauch, vice chairman of a committee that oversees the county's solid waste department.
The facility at Race and River streets uses automatic electric compactors to reduce trucking costs for collected material. Ice build-up and large cardboard boxes have been an occasional problem, the committee was told at its meeting on Wednesday.
The volume of material being collected is meeting expectations and is continuing to grow, Knoblauch said.
Five bins of compacted material, weighing a reported total of 44,580 pounds, were shipped to a processing facility in Ann Arbor between Dec. 12 and Jan. 15.
The collection site was closed for a time last weekend and reopened Monday, said county administrator Martin Marshall. Ice has occasionally built up in the compactor chamber, causing it to jam, he said. There have also been problems with large cardboard boxes jamming in the chute.
Knoblauch said the compactor has also jammed when users drop material into the chute while the compactor is in operation.
The collection site may need more maintenance attention than anticipated over weekends when the county's building and grounds staff is not available, Knoblauch said. A contract with a local resident covers only opening and closing gates to the facility at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. each day.
Knoblauch said the committee is still planning to partner with local governments and groups to establish up to three satellite collection sites around the county, using an automatic compactor at each site. Host communities may have to participate in maintaining the collection sites, he said.
The satellite sites would replace a county-funded Saturday morning collection program at Devils Lake, Loch Erin and Macon. Costs for operating the manned Saturday morning program ranged from an average $221 a ton at the Devils Lake site to $300 a ton at Loch Erin during 2012, according to solid waste department reports. A discontinued site in Rome Township had an average cost of $351 a ton.
Early success, glitches reported for county recycling site

Scripture: Exodus 40:34 NIV Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle
Observation: In chapters 25-31 we read God giving the specific details for building the tabernacle. In chapters 35-39 we read of the specific details of the actual building of the tabernacle. At the end of chapter 39 and throughout chapter 40 we read ten times that they did it "as the Lord commanded." And in verse 34 we read the results of their careful obedience: "the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle."
Application: I can see that God rewards careful obedience with the glory of His presence! I want to be careful to obey Him. It is not that I have to obey, but He loves me and knows what is best for me. It just makes sense to obey Him. And what a reward!!!
Prayer: Lord, I know you do not always give me the details of what I am to do, but when you do, may I follow them carefully. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Polysomnography (PSG) is a study of sleep cycles and sleep behavior. It is usually done in a sleep center overnight. This study involves observing a person at sleep while charting brain waves and other bodily functions.
Reasons for Test
This study can evaluate sleeping problems, such as:
- Trouble falling or staying asleep—insomnia
- Breathing that stops during sleep—apnea
- A problem with falling asleep suddenly during the day—narcolepsy
- Nightmares and sleepwalking
- Problems with arm or leg movement during sleep
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Before the test, you may be asked to do the following:
- Wash your hair, but do not use any sprays, oils, or conditioners.
- Eat a normal dinner the night of the test.
- Do not drink alcohol or caffeinated beverages or take any sleeping aids before the test.
- Bring any medications you are taking. When making the appointment for the sleep study, ask if you should keep taking your medications in the days before the test.
- Bring comfortable pajamas and a bathrobe to wear.
Description of Test
You will arrive in the evening. You will be given time to relax in the room where you will sleep. Electrodes will be attached to your head, legs, and chest. Other monitors are placed around your chest, near your nose and mouth, and on your finger. You will be able to read and relax again until your bedtime.
For most of the night, you will be able to move and turn during sleep. However, you may be asked to try to sleep in a certain position for part of the night. You will be observed by video during the night. This will be done in case sensors come loose or need to be removed for you to go to the bathroom. Sometimes, it is clear during the test that you can benefit from an intervention, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This intervention may be started midway through the night.
Your doctor may ask for an additional test for narcolepsy. The test is known as the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT). You will need to stay for part of the next day. You will be asked to nap for up to 20 minutes every 2 hours. The time it takes you to fall asleep and the time it takes you to go into deep sleep will be measured.
After Test
Your sensors will be removed in the morning. In most cases, you will be able to go home.
How Long Will It Take?
About 10-12 hours
Will It Hurt?
Results from this test may be ready right away. If not, then they are most often available within 2 weeks. Any abnormal breathing or leg movements during sleep will be noted. Your doctor will review the results and discuss them with you.
Call Your Doctor
There should not be side effects or complications from the study. Call your doctor if you have any concerns.
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Success in a Ph.D. program requires that you are ready for independent study. Scientific research involves asking and answering scientific questions. As graduate students learn these skills in our program, their success depends on their background knowledge, motivation, the ability to learn, and resourcefulness in solving problems.
Your application will be reviewed by a panel of experienced research scientists who represent the participating PhD programs in the BSTP. Characteristics of promising young scientists include motivation and experience. Research experience is perhaps the most important pre-requisite for biomedical graduate study. You need to be confident that you enjoy the lab environment, that you work well independently, and that you have some technical ability.
We'd like to know what interests you in science and why those aspects are exciting. We would also like to know what types of research experiences you have had. Did you do an honor's thesis? Have you contributed to a publication? Did you work in a lab after graduation or earn a Masters degree? You might tell us about these activities in your essay, and have the professor who guided the work write a letter of recommendation.
Grades and test scores give us an idea of your academic background and achievement. We do not have minimum grades or test scores. In recent years our students had general GRE scores averaging in about the 70th percentile, and undergraduate GPAs of 3.4 - 3.6. We do not require a GRE subject test, but we're happy to see the scores if you take the test.
