Dr. Cline was the first to successfully transfer a functioning gene into a living mouse, creating the first transgenic organism. His research has also pertained to the molecular genetic alterations in cancer, especially in leukemia.
In 1980, Dr. Martin Cline conducted a rDNA transfer into the bone marrow cells of two patients with hereditary blood disorders. He did so in direct opposition to National Institute of Health gene therapy guidelines and without the approval of the Institutional Review Board at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), where his research was conducted. The ethical concerns that were generated prompted a call for review by a number of organizations – including the National Council of Churches, Synagogue Council of America, and the United States Catholic Conference. Consequently, Dr. Cline was forced to resign his department chairmanship at UCLA and lost several research grants. http://www.family.org/cforum/fosi/bioethics/genetics/a0032608.cfm

Now is not the time for instability, or for reckless, opportunistic experiments. The global economy remains fragile, and Canadians remain concerned about their jobs and their children's future. Stephen Harper has a plan to meet these challenges — a plan that is working — and we need to stay the course.
April 18, 2011 – Today, Prime Minister Stephen Harper unveiled his "Here for Canada" Conservative policy platform. The platform provides Canadians with a prudent low-tax plan to protect and create jobs by completing our recovery from the global economic recession. "Here for Canada" commits to eliminating the deficit by the 2014-2015 fiscal year without cutting transfer payments to individuals or to the provinces. And it contains concrete measures to secure Canada's borders and keep our streets and neighbourhoods safe.
"Our Conservative Government has been consistent — we're 'Here for Canada,'" said Prime Minister Harper. "We're taking action on the priorities of Canadians who work hard and play by the rules, and we've steered our country through the worst global economic recession since the 1930s. The next phase of our Economic Action Plan will guide us through the recovery. During this campaign, we have told Canadians about the low-tax plan that we will deliver when the budget is balanced, and we remain true to those commitments in this platform."
The "Here for Canada" plan focuses on five key priorities:
- Creating jobs through training, trade and low taxes.
- Supporting families through our Family Tax Cut and more support for seniors and caregivers.
- Eliminating the deficit by 2014-2015 by controlling spending and cutting waste.
- Making our streets safe through new laws to protect children and the elderly.
- Standing on guard for Canada by investing in the development of Canada's North, cracking down on human smuggling and strengthening the Canadian Armed Forces.
Canada is emerging from the global recession as one of the world's top-performing advanced economies. Throughout the global crisis of the past two years, the world has looked to Canada as a model and an inspiration. Through the Economic Action Plan, Stephen Harper's Government is making the necessary investments to protect Canadians and create jobs now, while laying a strong foundation for long-term economic growth. Our low-tax plan is helping businesses create jobs. And we're reducing taxes on hard-working Canadian families, because we understand that household budgets are tight.
But there is more to be done. Now is not the time for instability, or for reckless, opportunistic experiments. The global economy remains fragile, and Canadians remain concerned about their jobs and their children's future. Stephen Harper has a plan to meet these challenges — a plan that is working — and we need to stay the course.
On March 22, the Stephen Harper Government presented the 2011 Budget, the Next Phase of Canada's Economic Action Plan, to Canadians. Stephen Harper's low-tax plan for jobs and growth includes practical measures to complete our recovery and strengthen the financial security of Canadian workers, seniors and families. It also contains a plan to balance the federal budget. We make a solid commitment in our platform to eliminate the deficit a full year earlier than forecasted by reducing waste and overhead in government.
"Canadians face a clear choice in this election: between, on one hand, the opportunistic and reckless Michael Ignatieff-led Coalition, with its high-tax agenda that would stall our recovery, kill jobs and set hard-working families back; and, on the other hand, principled leadership and stable national government with our low-tax plan for jobs and growth," said Harper. "Conservatives are Here for Canada — a Canada strong and free, a country of opportunity for all, proud of its history and confident of its future. We ask Canadians to support and join us in taking the next steps forward in building this great country for our children and grandchildren."

In Politico's The Arena section today, David Brooks' column chastising the bulk of GOP Congressman for their unwillingness to accept reasonable proposals was the topic of discussion. Grover Norquist, the discussion's first respondent, declares that David Brooks is mistaken and claims that policies like those endorsed by Brooks, Richard Darman, and George H.W. Bush (i.e. willingness to raise taxes with the idea that they will actually raise revenue and reduce deficits) are necessarily anti-growth.
Norquist states, "The tax hikes were real and painful. A recession followed. And government spending went up faster than it was projected to increase before the 'deal.' Spending got worse, not marginally better. And the deficit got worse." Interestingly enough, however, Grover Norquist is not really telling the truth.
George H.W. Bush's famous (or infamous, depending on one's point of view) increase to taxes (and reversal in his, in my opinion, foolish "no new taxes" pledge) came out of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990, which took affect on January 1, 1991. So what actually happened? Technically yes (see graph below), the United States went into a recession following the OBRA of 1990 going into effect. Per the official definition of a recession, that a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth (I'm using real GDP figures), the United States experienced negative growth in the fourth quarter of 1990 and the first quarter of 1991. HOWEVER, the largest period of economic contraction actually occurred in 1990 NOT 1991. The first quarter of 1991 showed a trend of growth beginning that would continue throughout the rest of the 1990s. So using Grover Norquist's post hoc ergo propter hoc view of the world, The OBRA of 1990 actually brought the country OUT of a recession rather than INTO a recession – of course this would be equally (well maybe not quite equally) fallacious.
Of course, while GDP contraction may create a technical recession, it is really unemployment that creates the recession mindset in a population. Again, upon first look, the data seems to say the OBRA of 1990 created higher unemployment. Average unemployment for 1990, 1991, and 1992 was 5.6%, 6.9%, and 7.5% respectively. In fact, average unemployment for the five-year period prior to the OBRA of 1990 was 5.9% versus 6.6% after its enactment; although, when this period is expanded to the decade before and after the data shows an average of 7.1% from 1981-1990 and 5.6% from 1991 through 2000. Still, both the five and ten year periods are subject to many factors and could be misleading. The more important issue in addressing the concerns of Mr. Norquist is the trend of unemployment immediately around January 1, 1991. The graph below shows that in the latter half of 1990, the unemployment rate was experiencing its most rapid growth in this period. Early-1991 still saw growth in unemployment, although this would begin to moderate through (with the exception of Dec. 1991) mid- to late-1992 when the unemployment rate began to drop. This is, of course, consistent with the expectation of a lag between economic growth recovery, which in this case began occurring in the second quarter of 1991, and improvement in the unemployment rate.
One of Norquist's economic statements was correct; spending did grow following the OBRA of 1990 and along with it the deficit. In fact, public debt as a percent of GDP in the mid-1990s is very similar to its levels in the mid-2000s (around 67% of GDP in each case) – of course we all know that the late-1990s and late-2000s saw deficit and debt figures move in opposite directions (surpluses in the '90s reduced debt while growing deficits in the 2000s caused even higher debt). There is, again, more to this story however. The next graph illustrates how total spending and non-defense spending evolved for the last few decades compared to GDP. It shows relative rises with respect to GDP around the time of various recessions and also shows the spike Norquist alluded to in 1991. This is where the data does not tell the whole story and the historical narrative provides some important information. The OBRA of 1990 was not the first budget proposal by President Bush that year, it was actually the third. The first included spending cuts with no tax increases and was rejected by Democrats, the second included spending cuts with tax increases and was rejected by Republicans, and the third was accepted. Interestingly enough, the third proposal increased spending more than the second proposal, but came in the face of government shutdown, which forced enough support to get higher taxes through. The third option also shifted much of the tax increases from excise increases to income tax increases, which is also less conservative – although preferable from a growth and equity perspective.
Politically it is obvious what raising taxes did to President Bush, but it may not be as much of "the economy stupid," as then future President Clinton suggested in his 1992 campaign, as it was "the lie stupid." Interestingly enough, it was Richard Darman who first expressed fear that making the pledge might mean better politics and worse governance; Darman appears to have been correct. The economics suggests that the OBRA of 1990 was smart policy given the economic environment and did not have a direct negative effect on the economy as Grover Norquist suggests.
The politics of the pledge created an unnecessary dilemma between good policy and political survival. President Bush made a noble sacrifice. It is unfortunate that Grover Norquist continues to recreate this dilemma even today. The fact that one of the biggest questions surrounding the debt ceiling compromise proposals being put forth is, "does this method of raising revenue violate the pledge?" and not, "does this method of raising revenue provide the most good and least harm for our country's economy?" is not a good sign. This leaves Republicans looking unable to govern, irresponsible, and selfish.

Like Navajo weavers, scientists use whatever tints they want to create a finished product. Here, brilliant hues show light in the Martian atmosphere that is invisible to humans. The different colors of light, called infrared light, indicate temperature, dust, and ice from the surface up to 50 miles high.
In the first picture, in orange and red, Martian storms have kicked up dust. The dust has warmed the atmosphere (stripes A1, A2, A3). Stripe A5 shows the amount and height of dust; A6 shows day and night.
In the second picture, stripe A4 shows clouds of water ice in green and light blue. A dark blue zone indicates extreme winter cold at the south pole (A1). The atmosphere is dust-free (A5).
Like Navajo blankets in the "eyedazzler" tradition, the pictures are captivating. Over time, they tell a story of changes on Mars from season to season and year to year.

The minimalist will love these trunks/shorts combo. If you were going somewhere tropical and warm (or a beach day wherever), you could easily get away with just bringing these as your only bottoms, as they do double duty on land and in the water. Now, most trunks can do that, but it's always a pain trying to carry your wallet, keys, and phone in the one smallish pocket most trunks have. The Hybrid Freaks could just as easily be a great hiking, running, etc. all duty pair of trunks. We'll take one in every color.

I guess Im just not as smart as you so I want things to be simpler. I guess its because things should be easier, isnt that what tech is all about ?
But I guess you just think that its because me and others like me are just simple-minded ?
I never mentioned simple minded, you're saying linux should be completely GUI based and I said if you want something completely GUI based (of which linux is NOT and WILL NOT be) then go and stick with windows or mac, it was not designed to be a GUI orientated system hence why there's a big kickup with regards to X11 and wayland and how they work etc.

Popular gospel musician Pastor Charles Charamba reiterated his prayer for peace in Zimbabwe. The revered gospel singer, who was the main act at a family show held in the Harare Gardens on Saturday, took the opportunity to preach peace and calm on the roads.
"Thank you very much for coming to worship with us. I do hope that God will guide us to remain peaceful and that as we travel this Easter no accidents will occur," he said sealing off his performance.
The Fishers of Men frontman and his band wore red as the main colour on stage mixing it with black garments, which lit up the choreography.
It was a splendid show by all standards especially that it was their first show in the Harare Gardens this year. Those who couldn't dance just sat on the lush green grass and enjoyed a picnic with their families while listening to the music.
Business was brisk for ice cream vendors such that they almost ran out way before the show was over. As part of entertainment for the children, there was popcorn and face painting at the main entrance.
Such scenes are familiar whenever the Charambas hold their concerts and that the gig ended at 6pm proved that it was indeed a family show.
Also on the bill was Jane Doka, the UK-based songstress. Doka proved her mettle before a huge crowd that attended the concert with her amazing act filled with energy and enthusiasm.
She gave her best and showed the fans that she was happy to be home.
Meanwhile, when it comes to partying in kwaito music there is nobody who does it better than Professor.
He makes dancing look simple and his sing-along music makes it all more enjoyable even when one is sober.
Professor, born Langa Kholile, was in the capital Harare last week and he literally brought the city to a grinding halt as fans peeped through their windows to catch a glimpse of his entourage from the Harare International Airport to a city hotel. But when the time to rock the audiences came, Professor -- who performed for just over an hour -- did not disappoint a minute. He came fired up for the gig clad in his trademark blue beret and a jacket.
That he has one album to his credit, the "Durbanite" still gave his best in song to a packed Chez Ntemba Nightclub. His act was felt throughout the gig as Kalawa Jazmee's number one seller Professor proved a point that even without a live band he is still a pleasure to watch.
The "club bangers" like "Imoto" and "Jezebel" got everyone on the dance floor which albeit was too small for the South African kwaito sensation.
The 2005 hit song "Woz 'e Durban" left the crowd clamouring for more but the party continued with the local DJs on the decks.
Other performers on the night included Trae Yung as well as rhumba-plus star Madiz.

For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.
Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name. --Ron Hogan --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Trustees approve plans to build Humanities and Fine Arts Center
The curtain is one step closer to going up at a new performing arts center in downtown Wilmington. Plans to build a 159,368 square-foot Humanities and Fine Arts Center at Cape Fear Community College are moving forward.
The CFCC Board of Trustees met on Dec. 11 and approved a plan to build the $39.9 million facility, which will serve the needs of students in the college's humanities and fine arts department and provide the community with a new major venue for the performing arts.
The CFCC Board of Trustees Facilities Committee, led by chair William Turner, recommended the proposal to the full board. After a brief discussion, the board unanimously approved the plan and selected Edifice Construction as the general contractor. Based in Charlotte, Edifice Construction was awarded the project based on a competitive bidding process.
Located at the 700 block of North Third St. in downtown Wilmington, the building will include three floors of classrooms and studios, will feature a 1,500-seat performance auditorium that will be used for college and community events.
CFCC Board Chairman Barren Nobles was pleased with the outcome of the meeting and is excited about the possibilities for the future.
"Awarding the construction contract is a significant step in making the Humanities and Fine Arts Center a reality. We are pleased that this facility will provide excellent opportunities for students and serve as an impressive, new location for cultural events for the greater community," Nobles said.
Turner stated that he greatly appreciated the months of work that it took to create a plan for the building that would serve the needs of students and help bring new cultural events to the area.
"I'd like to commend the college staff, faculty and architects for their commitment to develop a plan that works for everyone. It was very exciting to see all the pieces come together," Turner said.
CFCC President Dr. Ted Spring expressed his enthusiasm for the project and said that the facility will add a new dimension to the college experience for students and visitors.
"Humanities and fine arts are essential to the educational mission of a comprehensive community college," Dr. Spring said.
Designed by LS3P, the Humanities and Fine Arts Center is expected to break ground in mid to late March 2013 and take 20 months to complete.
Dr. Spring added that he is grateful to the voters of New Hanover County who passed the 2008 bond referendum which provides funds for the facility.
In addition to the Humanities and Fine Arts Center, the $164 million bond referendum will fund construction of two other projects. The first is Union Station – a 251,402 square-foot classroom and student services building at the downtown Wilmington campus. The second is the 134,000 square-foot Advanced and Emerging Technologies Center at the North Campus in Castle Hayne.

continued Nursing has a long history.
"Early civilizations believed that good spirits brought health; evil spirits brought sickness and death," Wright related. "Back then, physicians were medicine men who treated disease through dance and rituals. The nurse was usually the family's female elder, who tended to the needs of the patient by providing food, herbal remedies, warmth and comfort."
Nursing continued to evolve, taking a major step forward when Nightingale took an interest in it.
Born in England in 1820 to a wealthy family, Nightingale was well educated and traveled extensively. Despite protests by her family she became a nurse at the age of 31. The outbreak of the Crimean War gave Nightingale an opportunity to organize nursing care in a military hospital in Turkey. She successfully overcame many difficulties, elevated the status of nurses and introduced quality to nursing care. Back home in England she established the first nurse training school and wrote books about nursing education and health care.
"Nightingale's work focused attention on the need for educated nurses," Wright explained. "Schools of nursing were founded, usually in connection with hospitals."
Nursing progressed during the next few decades before World War II brought major changes.
"The coming of World War II had a tremendous impact on nursing," Wright said. "More and more women worked outside the home, the need for nurses grew and there resulted an explosion of knowledge in medicine and technology. Nursing education was upgraded substantially; it moved into university settings and led to degrees in nursing for both men and women. Emphasis on nursing knowledge as the base for nursing practice led to the establishment of nursing as a professional discipline."

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
Altec's Chairman and CEO, Lee Styslinger III, announced today his support of bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation and asked that Congress and President Obama work toward quick passage of the bill.
Styslinger is a member of the Trade Benefits America Coalition, a broad-based group of U.S. business leaders who are encouraging Congress and the Obama Administration to move TPA legislation forward in an expedited manner. Congress last enacted TPA in 2002, and it expired in 2007.
"We support the position that President Obama shared in his State of the Union address on the critical importance of Trade Promotion Authority and the positive impact it will have on job creation and economic growth in the U.S.," said Styslinger. "TPA will help open foreign markets to American goods and services. We call on Congress and the President to work together so that America can negotiate and put in place trade agreements that eliminate unfair trade barriers and level the playing field for goods manufactured in the U.S."
Styslinger was a key member of George W. Bush's Export Council and was responsible for advising the President on government policies and programs that affect U.S. trade performance and export expansion opportunities.
Altec is a leading equipment and service provider for the electric utility, telecommunications, contractor, lights and signs, and tree care markets. The company provides products and services in more than 100 countries throughout the world.

This is the La Mancha property for the Faustino Group. It's just a small venture with 1,000 hectares up high at 800 meters above sea level. I've had a look at a couple of the wines, and to be honest they are really convincing. Add to that some good packaging and very reasonable pricing and you've got a very handy range of wines.
Now this is not as well formed or structured as your average Verdejo from Rueda, but its a fairly good drink. Notes of lemon and melons on the nose, with a touch of sage and green bean. Plenty of acid and length too. I think it's s style that really needs food to work, so I drank this with a fairly simple seafood pasta and it worked a treat. 86 Pts.

A catering buffet is never complete without delicious desserts, including chocolates and truffles. Truffles and chocolates are smooth and velvety treats that come in a wide range of flavors. You can amaze your guests with an elegantly displayed table containing their favorite chocolates and truffles. Whether you're concerned about table skirting, linens or bouquets on the table, it is important to be flexible and creative. You need to try different options for displaying a wide range of confectionery treats.
Fresh Linens
It is very important to consider the color of chocolates and truffles while choosing buffet linens and table skirting clips. You need to choose colors that complement the color of chocolates, and entice your guests with the deliciousness of these dessert choices.
When it comes to table linens, the most popular choices include polyester, vinyl and cotton. You need to choose something that can be easily washed. However, it should look elegant. Black linens can prove to be a good choice. On dark colors, food stains are not easily visible.
Buffet Organization
As a general rule, the dessert table needs to be at the end of your buffet. When your guests arrive at the table, you need to focus on the amazement factor. The food and chocolate displays at the event should be exceptional works of art. They should be able to represent the tastes people are going to enjoy.
When it comes to chocolate displays, luxury and elegance are always the key. Since dessert tends to be the last course, you need to be sure that the guests leave the event ahing' and oohing' over the chocolates and truffles.
Display stands can be easily used to create different levels on the table. This leads to more visual variety. You should try to create about four different levels, and stagger them from the front to back on your table.
Table skirting should also be used wisely. This will help you create a stair step visual. You will also be able to create random levels to add more interest. In case you don't have access to the display stands, you can use different sized boxes. This can help you create different levels. You should cover them with tablecloths.
Keep It Clean and Organized
It's very important to keep your dessert table clean and organized. A common mistake most people make is to overload the display with a lot of chocolates, decor and levels. It's always better to keep things simple. You need to understand that subtlety will be your key to success. If you aren't careful, it can be easily to cross the line from being classy and elegant to cheesy and cheap. In order to keep things organized, you can also use table skirting clips.
Last but not the least, you can use a wide range of materials to accentuate the buffet. Some good choices include flowers, balloons, small figurines, ribbons and more. Candle can also be an excellent choice. You should put labels on different containers of chocolates to let your guests know what they're choosing.

Learning from One Another: On-line Resources for Geoscience Departments
Geoscience departments are facing times of great change, bringing both opportunity and challenge. While each department is unique with its own mission, institutional setting, strengths and assets, they share much in common and are all much better positioned to maximize gains and minimize losses if they are well informed of the experiences of other geoscience departments. To this end, over the past four years the Building Strong Geoscience Departments project has offered workshops and sessions at professional society meetings to foster sharing and discussion among geoscience departments in the United States and Canada. Topics that have sparked extended discussion include: Where are the geosciences headed from the standpoints of scientific research and employment? How are departments responding to new interdisciplinary opportunities in research and teaching? What are the threats and opportunities facing geoscience departments nationwide? How are departments recruiting students and faculty? What do geoscience department programs look like both from the standpoint of curriculum and activities beyond the curriculum? How do geoscience programs prepare students for professional careers? What makes a department strong in the eyes of the faculty or the eyes of the institution? This rich discussion has included voices from community colleges, four year colleges and universities, comprehensive and research universities, and minority serving institutions. Participants agree that these discussions have helped them in thinking strategically about their own departments, have provided valuable ideas and resources, and have lead to changes in their program and activities. A central aspect of the project has been the development of a website that captures the information shared at these meetings and provides resources that support departments in exploring these topics. The website (serc.carleton.edu/departments) is a community resource and all departments are invited to both learn from and contribute to its collections. http://serc.carleton.edu/departments
The Next Great Science
Earth science --- when defined as the study of all biological, chemical, and physical processes that interact to define the behavior of the Earth system --- has direct societal relevance equal to or greater than that any other branch of science. However, "geology", "geoscience", and "Earth science" departments are contracting at many universities and even disappearing at some. This irony speaks volumes about the limitations of the traditional university structure that partitions educational and research programs into specific disciplines, each housed in its own department. Programs that transcend disciplinary boundaries are difficult to fit into the traditional structure and are thus highly vulnerable to threats such as chronic underfunding by university administrations, low enrollments in more advanced subjects, and being largely forgotten during capital campaigns. Dramatic improvements in this situation will require a different way of thinking about earth science programs by university administrations. As Earth scientists, our goal must not be to protect "traditional" geology departments, but rather to achieve a sustainable programmatic future for broader academic programs that focus on Earth evolution from past, present, and future perspectives. The first step toward meeting this goal must be to promote a more holistic definition of Earth science that includes modes of inquiry more commonly found in engineering and social science departments. We must think of Earth science as a meta-discipline that includes core components of physics, geology, chemistry, biology, and the emerging science of complexity. We must recognize that new technologies play an increasingly important role in our ability to monitor global environmental change, and thus our educational programs must include basic training in the modes of analysis employed by engineers as well as those employed by scientists. One of the most important lessons we can learn from the engineering community is the value of systems-level thinking, and it makes good sense to make this the essential mantra of Earth science undergraduate and graduate programs of the future. We must emphasize that Earth science plays a central role in understanding processes that have shaped our planet since the origin of our species, processes that have thus influenced the rise and fall of human societies. By studying the co-evolution of Earth and human societies, we lay a critical part of the foundation for future environmental policymaking. If we can make this point persuasively, Earth science might just be the "next great science".
Closing the Geoscience Talent Gap
The geosciences, like most technical professions, are facing a critical talent gap into the future, with too few new students entering the profession and too many opportunities for that supply. This situation has evolved as a result of multiple forces, including increased commodity prices, greater strain on water resources, development encroachment on hazardous terrain, and the attrition of Baby Boomers from the workforce. Demand is not the only issue at hand, the legacy of lagging supplies of new students and consequently new professionals has enhanced the problem. The supply issue is a result of the fallout from the 1986 oil bust and the unsubstantiated hopes for an environmental boom in the 1990"s, coupled by the lengthening of academic careers, indefinitely delaying the predicted exodus of faculty. All of these issues are evident in the data collected by AGI, its Member Societies, and the federal government. Two new factors are beginning to play an increased role in the success or failure of geosciences programs: namely student attitudes towards careers and the ability for departments to successfully bridge the demands of the incoming student with the requirements for an individual to succeed in the profession. An issue often lost for geosciences departments is that 95% of geoscientists in the United States work in the private sector or for government agencies, and that those employers drive the profession forward in the long term. Departments that manage to balance the student needs with an end source of gainful employment are witnessing great success and growth. Currently, programs with strong roots in mining, petroleum, and groundwater hydrology are booming, as are graduate programs with strong technology components. The challenge is recognizing the booms, busts, and long-term trends and positioning programs to weather the changes yet retain the core of their program. This level of planning coupled with a profession-wide effort to improve initial recruitment, greater throughput of graduates into the profession, and the development of professionalism for majors will be central to the geosciences future success.
One Employer's Viewpoint: What Does Our Future Geoscience Workforce Need to Do and Why Will Workforce Diversity Be Key?
Global economic growth will continue to result in rising demand for energy, with estimates of 50 percent growth in the world's energy usage by 2030 being commonplace. This challenge to energy producers is compounded by the natural production declines associated with existing oil and gas fields, and so the demands on our future workforce will be extraordinary. There is little doubt that the oil and gas resources we will be utilizing in the future will come from different geographies, will be sourced from different geological systems, and will be the result of using different, more complex technological approaches. Relative growth in production outside of North America and Europe means that there will generally be a premium on students from outside these areas. It also means that an even greater appreciation of non-Western cultures is in order, for employers, faculties, and students. We are already seeing a significant shift in the geological systems that host our resources and this shift is likely permanent. Carbonate systems have become much more important, as have structurally complex terranes, but these changes pale in comparison to an increasing reliance on low permeability, resource-bearing rocks that were not even considered as potential reservoirs 10 years ago. There will doubtless be new tools and measurements which will help us succeed in this new environment, but the most valuable approaches will involve bold, integrated, systemic hypotheses at basinal and planetary scales. The recent publication of global controls on carbonate rock formation represents an early example of such an approach. To generate bold new hypotheses, it is crucial that the scientific community not engage in "groupthink." We think that organizations that promote diversity in ideas and approaches will benefit most, and a diverse workforce is the best guarantor of diverse ideas. Against this background, energy and mineral companies are facing enormous changes in their workforces as the baby-boomer generation gives way to Generations X and Y. This certainly presents challenges to our ability to recruit and develop new talent, but it also presents unprecedented opportunities to increase workforce diversity. Using a global approach to hiring Geoscientists, we are making significant progress in achieving greater diversity with respect to gender, under-represented groups, cultural origins, and skills. Nevertheless, given the enormity of the task, we are intensely interested in a dialogue with academia on ways to increase students' diversity as well as their abilities to conceive the bold, integrated, systemic hypotheses that we will need to keep pace with global energy demand.
Report on the Special JGE issue on Strengthening Diversity in the Geosciences.
The fall meeting 2004 saw an unprecedented number of papers directed at the subject of enhancing racial diversity in the geosciences. That followed on the heels of an unprecedented number of papers at the AMS meeting that same year. NSF, AGU, and NAGT recognized that, after decades of dedicated effort in the field with only modest results, the time was ripe for a compendium of those best and not so successful practices to be published, targeted to the community of scientists concerned, as well as program managers, and heads/chairs of geoscience departments throughout the county. Thus an unlikely collaboration was spawned, and a special issue of the Journal of Geoscience Education (JGE) was initiated, jointly published by the AGU and the NAGT, sponsored by NSF. The issue is called Enhancing Diversity in Geoscience Education, and will be published late in 2007. Major findings of this Volume include the following: *The Earth and space sciences have the lowest participation rate of underrepresented minorities compared with all other physical sciences [e.g., NSF Publication 04-317, 2004]. Only 1-2% of the undergraduate student population enrolled in geoscience degree programs is African-American or Hispanic and only 1% of the PhDs produced in these disciplines in recent years have gone to minorities [R. Czujko (AIP), 2005];Ā *There are huge regional dichotomies in minority population, and geoscience specialization. An educational and recruitment approach that focuses on those aspects of the geosciences most relevant to audiences in their area and most appropriate to the expertise of the scientists involved, can have high efficacy; *The most successful programs take pains to account for culturally-specific learning styles, cultural issues with pedagogy, and community preferences and priorities; *Top-down efforts to increase diversity on the part of science / funding agencies and Universities, while a necessary component to any successful program, are not sufficient to ensure success. The strongest programs enjoy a local synergy of grassroots, personal commitment from individual scientists, and the vision and high-level support of the institutions and agencies in which they work. Robust mentoring can be an important component of such a program. The issue, edited by Alexander and Riggs, will have a run of 5000, and will be gratis to all geoscience department heads/chairs, NASA, NOAA, and NSF program managers.
Are Geoscience Majors Well Prepared for the Science and Engineering Workforce?
This paper provides current statistics as well as historical trends in degree production at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in solid earth sciences, atmospheric sciences, oceanography, and related disciplines. It describes the strengths and weakness of the job market in the geosciences. It includes compensation data for recent geoscience graduates at all degree levels. It discusses international competitiveness and projections of future demand for scientists and engineers. The paper looks at the efforts at the national level to increase degree production in science and engineering. It concludes with some advice to departments about how to assess the extent to which their students are ready for the demands of a changing economy.
What Opportunities, When?: A Framework for Student Career Development
Geoscience faculty and departments have an important role to play in the professional development of their students for careers in the geosciences or other fields. We can promote career development of students at different career stages (e.g., first year students, geoscience majors, and graduate students) and in various ways by 1) providing information about jobs and careers, 2) encouraging exploration of options, 3) providing experiences throughout their program that develop skills, knowledge, and attitudes, and 4) supporting students in their job search. For example, in teaching general education classes, we can provide information about jobs and careers in the geosciences, showing images of specific geoscientists and discussing what they do, providing examples of practical applications of course content, and describing job prospects and potential salaries. For majors, this type of information could be presented by seminar speakers, through career panels, and via alumni newsletters. Exploration of options could include research and/or teaching experiences, internships, informational interviews, and involvement with a campus career services center. Courses throughout the curriculum as well as co-curricular experiences serve to provide experiences that develop skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will be useful for a range of jobs. Departments can support the job search by providing networking opportunities for students and alumni, widely distributing job announcements and encouraging individual students, offering departmental sessions on graduate school, different career options, and /or the job search process, conducting mock interviews and resume review sessions, and fostering connections between students and alumni. In all of this, we need to be supportive of student choices. Overall, faculty can help students make more informed career decisions and develop skills that will be of value in their career through a variety of strategies, work with students as an advisor or mentor to help them explore career options, and collaborate with the career service center on campus.
Revitalizing Physics Departments: The Spin-UP Reports
The American Institute of Physics (AIP) has carefully measured education trends in the physics and related sciences community for nearly five decades. During the 1990s, the community realized that the number of undergraduate physics majors was declining significantly. A number of efforts were launched in the physics community intending to reverse that decline and the number of bachelor's degrees has been rebounding for the last 7 years. The National Task Force on Undergraduate Physics (NTFUP) was one such effort that identified thriving physics departments and analyzed strategies shared among those departments. In 2003 NTFUP issued a report entitled: Strategic Programs for Innovations in Undergraduate Physics, referred to as Spin-UP. A subsequent study of physics programs in two-year colleges, Spin-UP TYC, produced many similar findings published in 2005. Lessons learned as stated in the Spin-UP reports and several conferences will be reviewed. Some lessons learned include: A thriving department demonstrated (1) a widespread attitude among the faculty that the department has the primary responsibility for maintaining or improving the undergraduate program; (2) a challenging, but supportive and encouraging undergraduate program that includes a well-developed curriculum, advising and mentoring, an undergraduate research participation program, and many opportunities for informal student-faculty interactions, enhanced by a strong sense of community among the students and faculty; (3) strong and sustained leadership within the department and a clear sense of the mission of its undergraduate program; and (4) a strong disposition toward continuous evaluation of and experimentation with the undergraduate program. In short, thriving departments paid attention to undergraduates and made majors feel like members of their physics department and members of a physics community. http://www.aapt.org/Projects/upload/SPIN-UP-Final-Report.pdf

NASA's Curiosity rover has tasted carbon in Martian soil, sparking speculation as to its origin, and has also found that Mars prefers its hydrogen heavy
Read more: Click here and here to read the earlier versions of this story
Editorial: "Space exploration for the history books"
A TANTALISING whiff of carbon-based compounds has been picked up by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover. But it's still not clear whether the eagerly awaited results are revealing the true chemical nature of Mars or are instead the products of Earthly contaminants.
One of the goals of the NASA rover, which landed on the Red Planet on 6 August, is to search for signs that Mars might once have had the means to support life. One clue would be organics - carbon-containing compounds that are the building blocks of life as we know it. During Curiosity's first "meals" of Martian soil, baked inside the robot's ovens, carbon and hydrogen were found to have reacted with chlorine, creating organic molecules.
This taste of carbon is intriguing, but it is a far cry from recent feverish speculation that the rover had found definitive evidence for organic compounds on Mars.
"The rover has made this detection of simple organic compounds," says project scientist John Grotzinger of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. But crucially, the rover only detected them after cooking them up. The mystery now is: where did it find that key ingredient - carbon?
While the chlorine is almost certainly native, it is still unclear whether the carbon is Martian material or something from Earth that was trapped in the rover. Even if the carbon is from Mars, it may come from inorganic sources, such as carbonate rocks.
The result is only one of the intriguing chemical discoveries the rover has pulled from a wind-blown patch of sand at a site dubbed Rocknest, unveiled on 3 December at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
Since it touched down in Gale crater, Curiosity has been firing up its science tools one by one. Star of the show at the AGU meeting was the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) experiment, which can sniff the atmosphere and can analyse the gases given off when soil samples are heated to as much as 1100 °C.
SAM was the final major instrument to come online. Excitement surrounding the consistency of results emerging from multiple samples prompted Grotzinger to reveal - in a US radio interview on 20 November - that "this data is going to be one for the history books. It's looking really good."
So far, the results - and their delivery from the scientists - have been more nuanced. "These results are an unprecedented look at the chemical diversity in the area," said Michael Meyer, NASA's lead scientist for Mars exploration, based in Washington DC.
SAM has been processing scoops of fine sand, with grains less than 150 micrometres across. "It's finer than sugar, but coarser than something like flour," says Ken Edgett, principal investigator for the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager, which has taken detailed pictures of the material.
SAM took several scoops from the Rocknest site in early October, shaking its tray and dumping out the first few loads to clean the instrument and make sure any Earthly molecules were flushed out of its system. The fifth scoop was delivered to SAM's oven, which baked it until the compounds inside released their signature gases.
The results revealed chlorinated carbon compounds, which probably formed inside SAM's oven. So where did the carbon came from? Even after a thorough rinse with the initial soil scoops, it's possible the SAM oven still contains traces of Earthly carbon.
If it is Martian in origin, the carbon may be from organic hydrocarbons or inorganic carbonates. The chlorine, meanwhile, may be from chemicals called perchlorates, which were previously spotted by NASA's Phoenix lander near the Martian north pole.
The team will compare the result with tests of a sample of carbon-based material that Curiosity brought from Earth, said Paul Mahaffy, SAM's principal investigator, at the AGU meeting. "If we see the same stuff that we thought might be from Mars, we've got to say, 'Hold the show, this might be terrestrial stuff'."
Because the sand at Rocknest is representative of material blown from around the Martian surface, the new results provide a decent baseline for describing the planet's global conditions. The data will later be compared with layers of rock at the rover's ultimate destination, a 5-kilometre-tall mountain called Aeolis Mons or Mount Sharp, which rises from the centre of Gale crater. Some of these layers formed more than 3 billion years ago, when Mars was thought to be warmer, wetter and may have supported life.
Curiosity's sampling of the Martian soil has also revealed that the ratio of deuterium - the heavy isotope of hydrogen - to ordinary hydrogen is five times higher on Mars than on Earth. That discovery may help us work out when and how the Red Planet lost most of its atmosphere (see "Heavy hydrogen bombshell").
Curiosity is now getting ready for its trek to Aeolis Mons, taking in other points of interest en route. Grotzinger likens Curiosity to a car with a 10,000-page user manual that was still being written as the science team tested its instruments. With all the gear up and running, it's time to drive, he says. "Our car is ready to go."
Heavy hydrogen bombshell
Gravity means everything is lighter on Mars, but it seems the Red Planet likes its hydrogen heavy. In its first chemical analysis of the Martian soil, the Curiosity rover has found an unusually high proportion of deuterium, also known as heavy hydrogen. The finding may help pin down when and how Mars lost most of its atmosphere.
Most hydrogen atoms consist of a proton and an electron, but some also boast a neutron, forming deuterium. On Earth, deuterium is much rarer than hydrogen. For example, in our oceans, there is one deuterium atom to every 6420 hydrogen atoms. As deuterium is thought to have been produced in the big bang, it should once have had similar abundances on all the planets in the solar system. But when Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars experiment (SAM) vaporised Martian soil, it found a ratio five times higher: one deuterium for every 1284 hydrogens.
That could help pin down when Mars's atmosphere, today much thinner than Earth's, started, for some reason, to dissipate. Paul Mahaffy, SAM's principal investigator, suggests that Mars could have lost its light hydrogen when its climate was warmer and wetter. Ultraviolet light from the sun could have broken up water in the atmosphere, creating free hydrogen. The lighter isotope would then have escaped into space more rapidly, leaving proportionately more deuterium behind. That version of events would be strengthened if the rover finds hydrated minerals - signs of water from a bygone era - on the slopes of Aeolis Mons, a mountain that may preserve a layered geological history.
A model of the early environment will help determine whether Mars was conducive to life, Mahaffy says.

The Bachelorette
Holly Durst: I've Waited My Whole Life to Find Blake Julian
Holly Durst and her man Blake Julian are putting a ring on it this summer, but this gal still knows how to party like a single lady! Holly spent a fun-filled weekend in Palm Desert with her friends (including Bachelor Pad co-star Natalie Getz), where she celebrated her bachelorette party by splashing around in a bikini and enjoying penis-shaped lollipops. You know, just a typical Saturday.
Holly's sexy soiree didn't feature a hunky male stripper (because apparently "that's disgusting"), but the ladies did shower her with gifts from Victoria's Secret before taking her to dinner at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse!
"I'm not going to miss the single life," Holly tells RumorFix. "I can't wait to be Blake's wife, I'm gonna cry like a baby on the wedding day. I've waited my whole life to find Blake, I'm very excited to spend the rest of it with him."
Dreamy sigh, we can't wait for these two to tie the knot in South Carolina!

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Anyone got any ideas on how to create The Souvenir?
Or something close to it.
LOL at the hashtag they put in the corner of the screen
This is bullshit...I created Ano Doom...Had the neccesary attire...Figured out how to map out the blood stains that cover his attire...But you cant put the damn pattern on the jacket...or the Hockey mask...Or any other mask that I would have liked...Or the Cut out side shirt(Like Ryback wears),A white bloodly sideless shirt would have sufficed just fine but noooo...Its like they just got lazy and didnt add pattern capability to certain items....So creation still needs tweaking...other than that not bad at all.
Create a Belt not being under the Create tab is stupid.
Made the ROH World Championship. Gave it to John Cena.

- Vincent Debruyne (Viola)
Notes & Reviews:
This program presents the provocative (yet logical) juxtaposition of two musical worlds and two Viennese Schools. The first is represented by Berg's Kammerkonzert, a key work of the twentieth-century, the second through modern arrangements from Schoenberg and Webern of Strauss's Zwei Walzer, one of the greatest successes of Romantic Vienna. Performed here by Orchestre Poitou-Charentes conducted by Jean-François Heisser, this disc features soloists Marie-Josèphe Jude on piano and François-Marie Drieux on violin.
"Here is a stunner...The Strauss waltz arrangements are brilliantly effective" -Glasgow Herald
"the Chamber Concerto is not easily approachable and I don't think it is wrong to try and sweeten it with a little Viennese schmaltz. The title of Mirare's disc suggests that that is exactly what Heisser and his musicians are trying to do." -International Record Review

It's Not Obama's Lack of Leadership at Issue.
As someone with lots of opinions, I've done my share of criticizing President Obama.
My criticism of Obama has to do with how, until recently, he spent more time courting Capitol Hill than maintaining the momentum of his movement. I'm thrilled to see him becoming more involved with the people again. After all, it wasn't his ability to manipulate congress that scared the hell out of the Washington establishment a year ago. It was the masses of people who were standing behind him. That is his strength, his power.
That's also the one tool he has for moving elected leaders whose main goals are to get reelected - scare the hell out of them with their own people demanding something different. In the end, only our votes can compete with the other interests influencing every politician's move. They system rewards members on Capitol Hill who make funding their next reelection bid a priority.
If people want to be mad at something, be mad at a Senate that is so beholden to lobbyists and their money, that the members are incapable of looking beyond their own self interest - winning the next election - to work for something that is good for the people they represent.
The Senate and its leadership need to take responsibility for their own inability to move. They are the immobile bureaucracy too ossified to either fall in line or think anew. It's their job to find a way to pass legislation. President Obama's leadership is not the issue here.

YIELD: Serves 6
Wash goose inside and out with hot water and dry carefully. Rub inside with salt. Combine apples and prunes and stuff goose. Truss and tie legs loosely to the tail. Place goose on rack in roasting pan. Roast in 425°F. oven for 30 minutes. Remove goose and turn heat down to 350°F. Drain all fat from pan. Sprinkle goose with a little of the flour. Return goose to oven.
Combine butter and hot water. When the flour on the goose has begun to brown, start basting with water-butter liquid. Sprinkle a little more flour on the goose after each basting; this helps absorb fat. Baste frequently. Roast for about 16-20 minutes per pound, depending on age of the bird, timing from the moment the goose goes in the oven. If goose os very fat, drain off fat several times during roasting. After the first hour, turn the bird every half hour, roasting the goose on its back for the last 15 minutes. Test for doneness by moving legs up and down; they should move easily. Place goose on heated platter. Surround with thick slices of fried apple. Place a plumped pitted prune on each apple slice. Serve with red cabbage and sugar-browned potatoes.
