Do you use NIST radio station WWV or WWVH? Do you have a radio-controlled clock or set your computer clock using NIST? Do you get NIST time via telephone or Internet?
Please take a moment to complete the NIST Time and Frequency Services survey. Your input will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, you might also want to visit the NIST Time and Frequency Division website. It has a bunch of interesting info for time and frequency geeks.
For example, currently there's a piece on the world's most precise clock. It says:
NIST scientists have built a second "quantum logic clock," using quantum information processing techniques on a single ion of aluminum to make a clock that would not gain or lose more than one second in about 3.7 billion years.

FORT PIERCE -- The public is invited to a special event on March 6 to commemorate a couple of important milestones and celebrate a remarkable visionary and the extraordinary gift he left behind for future generations.
"A 60/40 Homecoming" will celebrate 60 years of the Link Foundation, established by Edwin A. Link and his wife, Marion, in 1953 and 40 years of FAU Harbor Branch's summer intern program.
A presentation will be given from 4-7 p.m. highlighting some of the people and projects that have been fostered over the years. There will be a reception following each presentation from 5-8 p.m. respectively. On hand to meet the public and answer their questions will be some of the very first Link Foundation interns and fellows.
The event will take place at the Johnson Education Center on the Fort Pierce campus of FAU's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute.
Sixty years ago, Mr. Link set into motion a plan that has since helped launch and nurture the careers of more than 1,000 new scientists and engineers and will continue to do so for many decades to come.
Born in 1904, only a year after the Wright brothers' first flight, Mr. Link became fascinated with flight. With aviation in its infancy, he earned his pilot's license while still in his 20s.
Acutely aware of the high cost and hazards involved in flight training, Mr. Link's inventive nature led him to create the world's first flight simulator, the Link Trainer. This breakthrough spurred the advancement of both aviation and space exploration, and elevated him as an icon in aviation history. He also became an internationally recognized pioneer in the field of ocean technology.
In 1953, Mr. Link and his wife, Marion, established the foundation..In 1963, the Link Foundation began funding doctoral candidates at universities around North America to study ocean engineering. In 1967, he established summer internships enabling undergraduate students to obtain hands-on experience designing and building subsea systems.
Throughout the rest of the 1960s, he was instrumental in establishing ocean engineering departments at the University of Hawaii and Florida Atlantic University.
In 1971, he persuaded his friend, J. Seward Johnson Sr., to invest in the establishment of Fort Pierce's Harbor Branch Foundation (now Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University).
As vice president of Harbor Branch, Mr. Link designed their Johnson-Sea-Link manned submersibles, which served as premier undersea vehicles for exploring the world's oceans until their retirement in 2010.
The informal summer internship program begun by the Link Foundation in 1967 was taken over by Harbor Branch in 1974 where it has grown and flourished, and has since mentored 520 students.
This year marks the 40th year of the FAU Harbor Branch summer intern program that allows competitively selected college students to spend 10 weeks of their summer at FAU Harbor Branch gaining vital hands-on experience in their chosen field.
Similarly, the practice of funding a few doctoral candidates has since evolved into three internationally recognized Link Fellowship programs, currently hosted at FAU, Florida Institute of Technology and Dartmouth College. Each year, up to a dozen doctoral students, competitively selected from hundreds of applicants from North America's top universities are funded by the Link Foundation to pursue research in the areas of ocean engineering and instrumentation, advanced simulation and training, and energy resources
Link scholarships have also been established at Indian River State College and fellowships at the Smithsonian Institution Marine Station in Fort Pierce.

By Frank Ocean. My wonderful roommate Alisha just introduced me to him— Haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but so far my favourites are tracks 5, 17, 34, 37, 47, 50, 53, 59 and 60. Makes excellent study music!
(click the post title to open the mixtape) Enjoy :]
Well, it's summertime, and the living is easy…enough. Had some extra time, and some extra thoughts, so decided to perhaps start a blog.
Haven't exactly decided on a theme yet, but shouldn't have to, I figure that will pan itself out later on.
A little about myself though I guess—
Just turned 19 a few weeks ago, June 6th to be exact.
Born and raised in the D.C. metro area, and proud of it. The diverse people, the free museums, the weather, I love it all! I am now however currently in North Carolina…taking some summer classes. I miss home a bit, but ill be back soon D.C, I promise.
what else…
Going to be a sophomore next year, very excited! I think I'm going to major in Biology and Cultural anthropology. I also think I want to be premed. I also think I am one of the least decisive human beings on this planet, but hey, life goes on.
My Philosophies
I believe that as long as you are genuine you shouldn't have too many regrets in life. At the time of your decision making, it was just what you wanted, no? You're not perfect, so cut your self some slack, however never let yourself go— you live to better yourself and to leave a positive and influential mark on the world. If that means curing cancer, more power to ya, if that means being a stay at home mom, then raise that child with every ounce of passion that you got. Find your niche, and hone it.
My religion? Nondenominational; But I am a hardcore science nerd and also a hardcore believer in God. The more I learn about the world, the more I believe that this wonderful place could not have been created by some random accident!
My hobbies
I'm a runner, a distance runner. Ran cross country, and track in high school—now I just run for fun and to stay in shape! My goal is to one day race at the Boston Marathon. It's gonna happen.
My family
I've got three lovely little brothers. I feel as if I have gotten way closer to them now that I've gone off to college—Being the only girl in the family, and significantly older than they, I felt as if I played the parent card more than the cool older sib one but I really look forward to the day when they mature and we can see eye to eye.
I am very grateful for all of my friends. They mean more to me than they know! Laughing, crying, studying, working out, mischief making— Honestly, life is just so much better when you've got people to share it with. Thanks for putting up with me and all of my quirkiness ;)
I also have a boyfriend of a year and a half. We are on the same level. By that, I mean we understand each other almost perfectly. He notices all the little things about me and about life that I swear only I ever thought about.
Ethnically I'm a mess, got some German, Swedish, Cameroonian, African-American, Russian, and Native-American. On surveys and standardized tests, I select "non-Hispanic" and "Other". My first language is English but I know some Spanish, and I am currently studying French at Duke University!
And my name? I have many of those too ;]

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - Wisconsin U.S. Senator Ron Johnson says he likes the latest bipartisan student loan deal, saying he will likely vote in favor of the bill.
The proposal calls for market rates to tie into interest rates, but capped to prevent rates from going too high.
Under the bill, graduates would pay a starting rate of 3.86 percent and graduates would pay a slightly higher rate – starting at 5.41 percent.
The U.S. Senate is likely to vote on the deal next week.

FBI agents, sheriff's deputies and members of the bomb squad searched a home Friday night -- at the home of the man who may have bombed the Social Security office in Casa Grande.
That man may be responsible for the explosion at the Casa Grande building, but the FBI can neither confirm nor deny that anyone was taken into custody.
Someone threw something out of a car window at the office Friday morning, causing a fire to start just before 8:30 a.m. There was minimal damage to the building -- the entry door was blackened and charred -- but no one was hurt.
Police and firefighters were the first to arrive on the scene, but soon after, federal agents joined the investigation.
Dozens of homes in the Martin Valley community in Coolidge were evacuated as a precaution Friday night while the search warrant was served.
We talked to Jerry Vining, who lives near by the home that was searched.
"They started knocking on everyone's door telling us we had to leave. They said the guy had thrown a homemade explosive device in Casa Grande and they needed to get everyone out of the neighborhood for precaution," said Vining.
"They were talking to the guy in the cop car and then a whole bunch of unmarked Suburbans and sedans came and they started blocking the road.
"He wasn't a real friendly guy, you'd see him and wave at him and he would just act like he didn't see you. He was a real lonely guy, never saw anyone go to his house, always by himself.
"It kind of shocked me. To do something like that it's kind of radical, I don't know why he would do something like but I always took caution. If my wife left early for work I'd tell her, if you see him come get me. His mysterious demeanor made you cautious about him the whole time.
"I can understand where law enforcement is coming from because if he did what they say he did at DES office, there's a possibility there's more stuff in his house. I don't know how far he'd be with it or how destructive the guy would be," said Vining.
The name of the possible suspect is not available. Again, the FBI would not confirm an arrest.
The motive for the attack is unknown.

Feeling Frilly? A Ruffle Roundup
I've never been a big ruffles kinda gal, but lately they have piqued my interest for some reason. I think if you don't go overboard and use them in a tasteful manner they could take on a carefree, flowing, slightly rustic look without making you want to gag.
My husband has always been on board with how I like to decorate, but as I've been thinking more about ruffles lately I wonder if adding them in the mix would just send him over the edge.
I've found some super girly things as well as some more masculine pieces that I think could fit in. Do you think ruffles are strictly a girls kind of decor or have you been able to successfully incorporate them into a man's world as well?
- This luscious, flowing duvet is available at Urban Outfitters. If you are liking the ruffle duvet look, then you will hit the jackpot over at Urban. It's a large part of their current collection.
- You can find this stunning chair at Aiveen Daly Upholstery & Design. Everything on their site is pretty spectacular.
- This pillow is a DIY by Ashley Photogrpahy. She doesn't go through the exact directions for the pillow but shows you in another project how to sew ruffles. You can find the tutorial here.
- This super cozy room with the ruffled bedspread really gives such a warm rustic, cuddle-in-the-bed kinda vibe. via Living Livelier.
- This is another to die for piece from Aiveen Daly. They take the ruffle look into a gorgeous sophisticated style. I just love them.
- This sweet little lamp is the kind of touch that I think could fit in nicely without being too over the top. via carrie design musings.
- This beautiful dining room tablecloth is brought to us by a beach cottage, life by the sea.

Oh my gosh, I want ALL OF THEM. So adorable!
those are so lovely. and the chairs...*faint* they look like perfectly tailored suits.
Anybody know who makes the white bedspread in Picture #4? Thanks!
the purple bedspread is lovely.
Much as I love the purple bedspread, I'm dying to know more about the darling round (folding??) yellow night stand in the 1st photo. Any suggestions for where that comes from?
I crocheted a set of ruffle pillows a couple years ago! I still love them, though I left the backs un-ruffled for more comfortable couch naps.
I'm not typically a huge ruffle person, but if it seems like it has a purpose, I think they can be done quite well. The bedspread here is great! I think it would be so cute for a girly bedroom, or for some pizzazz in a guest room.
@ danifornian - The folding wooden table in the first pic was also an Urban Outfitters piece. I don't think it's available on their website anymore though.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, Nov. 30 (HealthDay News) -- Acupuncture alters the way
that the brain perceives and processes pain, a finding that
suggests the traditional Chinese treatment can effectively relieve
pain, according to a new study.
German researchers used functional MRI scans to measure brain
activity in 18 people who received painful electrical currents from
a device fitted to their left ankle. The researchers then placed
acupuncture needles on the participants' right side -- including
between the toes, below the knee and near the thumb -- and again
inflicted pain in the left ankle.
Without acupuncture, there was major activation of
pain-processing areas of the brain. Activation in these areas was
significantly reduced when the volunteers received acupuncture.
The researchers also found that acupuncture reduced activation
in areas of the brain that control expectations of pain.
The study was to be presented Tuesday at the annual meeting of
the Radiological Society of North America, in Chicago.
"Acupuncture is supposed to act through at least two mechanisms, nonspecific expectancy-based effects and specific modulation of the incoming pain signal," lead author Dr. Nina Theysohn of University Hospital in Essen, Germany, said in a news release from the society. "Our findings support that both these nonspecific and specific mechanisms exist, suggesting that acupuncture can help relieve pain."

Ten Steps to the Maine State Science Fair
Step 1: Choose a topic. This should be something that interests you and causes you to ask questions or stimulates your curiosity. Ask questions about the topic. Do you know the answers? Does someone else know the answers (see Step 2)?
Step 2: Conduct background research. What is already known about this topic? What questions are other people asking? What has yet to be discovered? Utilize background research resources in your school, library, or ask the experts.
Step 3: Ask your essential question and form your hypothesis.
Step 4: Complete the required forms. All students must to complete Form 1, Form 1A with Research Plan and Form 1B. If your experiment involves human participants, vertebrate animals, biological tissue or hazardous chemicals/equipment additional forms are required. Please see our forms page for additional information. Ask your teacher if he or she has completed the School Registration form.
Step 5: Submit your completed PDF forms online for final review.
Step 6: Review and Approval. The MSSF Scientific Review Committee will review and approve all proposals. All projects are reviewed for safety requirements, completion of forms and additional regulations that may apply to individual projects. No experimentation can begin before approval has been received. You will be notified by email that you may proceed.
Step 7: Experiment. Begin experimentation as soon as you receive your approval from the Maine State Science Fair. Record all data in your Data Notebook.
Step 8: Abstract. Once you have completed your experiment and recorded all data, send the abstract form, no later than March 1, 2014, to email@example.com.
Step 9: Display. Create your display. See Display Rules for what is not allowed.
Step 10: Travel to Bangor High School at 7am on March, 22, 2014, set up your display and compete!

Jess McMullin's Friend on Abductive Thinking
[A friend] pointed out that analytical solutions are deductive – working towards a solution based on inputs from different sources (user research, business plan, etc.) while design thinking relies more on abductive thinking – thinking about the possibilities of what could be. This leads to multiple models, a wide range of prototypes that lend themselves to iteration, instead of narrowing in on one solution. It also means that there's discontinuous jumps – from a solution, back to a situation before iteration occurs. It's not a smooth incremental improvement – but that's why it works better.
1 I also like what he writes about 'Design As Framing' ('there's more power in defining the problem than solving it [...] the greatest advance beyond form and function that design thinking can bring to design practice').

Planting a Garden in Concrete Cracks
This gardening project cost only $500 and utilizes an existing foundation of concrete. Plants were not planted in naturally occurring cracks; rather, they were planted in rows of cracks made by a jackhammer.
Designed by CMG Landscape architects, the gardening was actually installed by the residents of the adjoining building. A series of cracks was made by a jackhammer, resulting in tiny cracks in which to plant herbs, vegetables, and a variety of flowers.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer Asks Atheist Tornado Survivor If She 'Thanked The Lord'
Via you're like poetry, desire justified
"some historians think that michelangelo was drawing god in a human brain. very few people knew what one looked like at the time; but michelangelo had dissected cadavers and would have known. it even has the hint of a brain stem. if true this would have been a great "fuck you" to the pope whom he was not friendly with but also would have meant god was in a human brain, or created by man."
also michelangelo painted a baby angel flipping off the pope
the blond one, you see his right hand? that's called the fig and it's an old world european gesture for 'fuck you" because apparently Pope Juluis II was a total raging asshole and everyone hated him
but nobody ever noticed this little fucker because the ceiling was so high
and then thirty years later they called michelangelo back to paint the wall behind the altar and he wasted no time in painting the gates of hell behind the pope's chair
what a badass
It amuses me to this day how much Michelangelo hated his job
He was like the Renaissance Robert Pattinson

Is, for example, "pp. 1567–93" an acceptable way to denote pages 1567 through 1593? In what contexts must you always write it in long form "pp. 1567–1593" instead? Also, what about in the case of smaller numbers, e.g. "pp. 54–7," or more complicated ranges, e.g. "pp. 6, 23–5, 7, 67–8, 94–117"?
The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition (2003), has very clear preferences, which it lists at section 9.64 (rules paraphrased from a table):
Words into Type, Third Edition (1974), adopts a more flexible approach to inclusive numbering style:
Interestingly, however, the Words into Type "suggested way" of handling inclusive page numbers matches the Chicago method point for point.
Other styles, of course, differ. Thus, for example, the MLA Style Manual (as represented in the Koinonia Academy "MLA Citation Guide") rejects the Chicago rule that would render "pages 102 through 103" as "102–3":
Similarly, the North Dakota Supreme Court Citation Manual, which is based on the Harvard Blue Book legal citation style guide insists that the last two digits of a page range should always be retained (though it doesn't offer an example along the lines of "102–03"):
This guide also accepts hyphens or en dashes as punctuation for inclusive page numbers.
I can't comment right now so I make this an answer even though it is only a note.
The Chicago Manual of Style rules are very good but I think that as long as you have less than a million pages it is always easier for a reader to interpret full ranges; shortened ones always require a little more intellectual work, even if you're always consistent and explain the rules to the reader.
They are often more elegant but I think especially on these days when people are used to clear and schematic thinking most readers would prefer the full version.
You just need to ensure that in ranges with several intervals the single intervals are clearly distinguishable, through proper separation.

Paddock/Arena Polo
The four team members of the french team, winner of the European Polo Championship in Austria, all began learning paddock/arena polo before turning to field polo.

I was in my late teens when I set my heart on rounding out my education at Oxford University before, as I then imagined, I returned to the family sheep farm. Why would a teenage Australian farm boy want to go to Oxford? Let us just say that, compliments of my schooling and university I was in thrall to one of Europe's ancient seats of learning, the mother university of the English-speaking world; to its promise of chiming church bells, cloistered quadrangles, Gothic spires and cobblestone streets, of punting on the Cherwell and feisty dons.
What are we to make of Tanoira's Reflections? How does it contribute to debate within the polo community behind closed doors? Will patron polo henceforth define how the game is played? Or is there another way forward? I put this to Dr Horacio Laffaye.
Medieval art from the golden age of Imperial China
Be it poetry, artworks or surviving polo grounds, everything points to imperial Persia, circa 500 B.C., as the genesis of polo, a court pleasure of the nobility and, as with other Asian empires in ancient times, crucial to honing the horsemanship of cavalry for mounted warfare. But who could tell you that under the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.), a thousand years later, China became the world's leading polo nation?
Question: what is the best way to promote your country to the world? The answer, surely, is to show other countries an activity, whether music, theatre, sport or whatever, in which your own country excels.

(c) Players shall play with the stick in the right hand.
(d) No individual shall participate as a player or official in any game, if under the influence of drugs, alcohol or ...
The hill tribes of northern India, who bequeathed polo to their British rulers, were the custodians of a sport which had been played at least 2,500 years before at the court of the Persian Emperor Darius 1 (550-486 B.C.). (…)
In succeeding centuries, as armies ranged back and forth in retreat and conquest across the continent, polo was adopted by cavalries as a training exercise for mounted warfare, and by kings and emperors, shahs and sultans, khans and caliphs as a court pleasure.
The four team members of the french team, winner of the European Polo Championship in Austria, all began learning paddock/arena polo before turning to field polo.

New England Eye partners with Transitions and
VSP to provide Vision Care
September 25-27, 2013 the New England College of Optometry partnered with Transitions Optical and VSP Vision Care to visit three local communities in Greater Boston. Two 40-foot state-of-the-art mobile vision clinics - New England Eye On- Sight and VSP /Transitions' Eyenstein Mobile Eye Clinic traveled to Freshman Academy in Lowell, The Jordan Boys and Girls Club of Chelsea and The Mather School in Dorchester, MA to provide screenings and comprehensive eye exams to over 90 students during the course of the event. Over forty students received glasses on site enhancing their vision.

"The Eyenstein and New England Eye Mobile Clinics have been a great resource to our students. We are very grateful to work hand in hand with NECO and Transitions and VSP to get some of our first year students eye care for the first time in their lives and even better to receive glasses to enhance their educational performance," stated Gina Sepe, Social Worker at The Freshman Academy in Lowell, MA.
Over the three day event students, residents, and faculty from the New England College of Optometry joined the Transitions and VSP Teams to provide eye care to the students. Third year NECO student, Tamara Granner, shared, "As a provider it brings me joy to know I'm helping children. It was rewarding to see patients receive great service whom otherwise have limited access to eye care.
The process to get screened, undergo a full eye exam and color testing, fill a prescription and within in 20 minutes acquire new glasses was truly amazing." Students were fitted with Transition lenses and had a wide range of frames from fashionable well-known brands such as Nike, Emilio Pucci, and Tommy Bahamas. "It was great working in conjunction with Transitions lenses and VSP to have functional lenses and fashionable frames appeal to the students."
Transitions Optical fosters the concept of celebrating the sights in your life to enhance every day moments. This was mirrored throughout the visits on September 25, 26, and 27th, which underscored the importance of healthy, enhanced vision as a key component to achieve a brighter future. This community outreach program was organized and led by NECO faculty member and alum, Gary Chu, OD.

Found November 28, 2012 on NorthWest Sports Beat:
PLAYERS: Damian Lillard, Meyers Leonard
TEAMS: Portland Trail Blazers, Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons, Phoenix Suns
TEAMS: Portland Trail Blazers, Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons, Phoenix Suns
PDX needs this one The Portland Trail Blazers are coming off arguably their most disappointing loss of the season; a contest against the Detroit Pistons that was considered one of the easier games on the schedule through this point in the year. Matchup: Portland (6-8) @ Washington Wizards (0-12) Venue: Verizon Center Time: 4:00 PM PT Date: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Losing to the Pistons was bad, but losing to the Wizards would be catastrophic for a team that needs every win it can get. Game Notes/How They Match Up Losing to the Pistons was bad. Losing to the Wizards would be worse. The Washington Wizards are the only winless team remaining in the NBA, and a big reason for this is that they struggle to put points on the board every time they take the floor. They are dead-last in points per game, as they average only 90 points per contest, and they also shoot the worst field-goal percentage in the league, as they are the only team to complete fewer than 40 percent of their shots. Portland has proven to be a middle-of-the-road scoring team this season, as they're 15th in the league at 98.6 points per game. Where Washington has the edge is defensively. They run one of the slower paces in the NBA, which creates for less scoring opportunities for their opponents. They allow just 98.2 points per game, which is good enough for 14th in the league. The Blazers are sitting just below the last-place Phoenix Suns when it comes to points allowed, as they give up an unfortunate 102.4 points per contest. What to Watch: Portland When you're playing a bad team, you don't want them to get the edge early. Against Detroit, the Blazers were outscored 28-19 in the first, and they were never able to truly make up the difference. It was one of their worst first quarters of the season, so it's going to be interesting to see how the team plays early against the Wizards. Part of the reason for Portland's stagnant offense was Damian Lillard. The 6'3" point guard may be leading all rookies in scoring this season, but he started the night off missing his first 12 shots. Getting the youngster involved from the get-go will help spark the Trail Blazers' offense. Washington may not score a lot of points, but that doesn't mean Portland should relax on defense. Part of coming out strong happens on the defensive end, and it's going to be crucial that they keep the Wizards on pace for the 90 points that they've averaged thus far. What to Watch: Washington Even though Washington runs a slower pace than Portland, they're averaging more fast-break points than the Trail Blazers at this point in the year. Stopping the run is important for the Blazers, as they allow the fifth-most points in transition in the NBA. Seeing how bad the Wizards have been scoring the basketball this year, they're going to look to score early and often against a Portland defense that has struggled in transition this season. Barton and the rest of the Blazers bench must step up as season progresses. (Photo: Bruce Bennett/Getty) Washington isn't a team that is going to look to run all game, but you'd better believe they'll take advantage of any opportunities Portland gives them. Key Matchup There are two key matchups to watch in this contest, and neither are traditional one-on-one situations. The first to watch is the battle between the starters. Portland's starters are averaging more points than any other starting unit in the NBA—by a relative long shot—while Washington's first five is in last place. The starters for Portland are nearly doubling the point production of the Wizards' starters. The second matchup belongs to the two bench units, where it is the exact opposite story. Washington's bench is leading the league in points per game, while the Trail Blazers reserves are posting the fewest points in the NBA, again by a relative long shot. Whichever team is able to find unexpected production is going to have an instant edge in this contest. If the Blazers' bench players step up, they'll outmatch Washington for an entire 48 minutes. However, if the Wizards' starters are the ones that challenge early, the game will take a turn in their favor, and they'll likely put up more points than their average. Injury Report Portland: DAY-TO-DAY—Meyers Leonard Washington: DAY-TO-DAY—Nene Prediction The Blazers struggled against the Detroit Pistons on Monday, but if they can come out and play a better first quarter this time around, they should take care of business against the 0-12 Washington Wizards.

It only took a few days to plan the concert at the Lincoln Memorial, July 19, 1979, and arrange for permits for a march. I wrote a letter to President Carter which was delivered to him by hand…"
-Joan Baez, And a Voice to Sing With: A Memoir, 2009
In 1979, Joan Baez appealed to President Jimmy Carter to send the Sixth Fleet into the South China Sea to rescue Southeast Asia refugees. Here's an entry from President Carter's Daily Dairy that records one of his 1979 meetings with Joan Baez. We also found this image in the National Archives digital catalog of of Baez at an earlier march at the Lincoln Memorial - the 1963 March on Washington.
The phone calls and meetings between Joan Baez and President Carter are all recorded in The White House Daily Dairy from the Carter Library's digital archives.
Happy birthday Joan Baez. January 9, 1941.

Clinton delivers impassioned plea for Obama second termBy Jeff Zeleny and Mark Landler, The New York Times
Former President Bill Clinton and President Obama hugged onstage Wednesday night after Mr. Clinton delivered an impassioned plea on behalf of Mr. Obama's re-election, the 42nd president nominating the 44th to a second term with a forceful and spirited argument that Democratic values would restore the promise of the middle class.Read more

Obama didn't stop the middle-class free-fallBy Jim Tankersley, National Journal
The middle class in America today is not better off than it was four years ago, not better off than it was at the end of the Great Recession in 2009, not even better off than when President Clinton left office in 2001.Read more from National Journal
'Are you better off?' The answer is less clear than it was in 1980By John Harwood and Mark Landler, The New York Times
When Ronald Reagan asked voters a week before the 1980 election whether they were better off than four years earlier, he turned a race that had been nip-and-tuck for months into a landslide victory — and showed how a pointed question can be a lethal political weapon.Read more
Can Obama break D.C. gridlock if re-elected?By Alexis Simendinger, Real Clear Politics
Polarized, gridlocked, uncooperative, partisan, impossible. That's how Democrats -- including some of President Obama's past and current White House advisers -- described the nation's capital during several moderated discussion sessions Tuesday at the party's convention here.Read more
Dispatches from the Democratic National ConventionBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
Barack Obama has said that his biggest mistake in office is that he hasn't told the right story to the American public. Maybe he should have let his wife tell it. First lady Michelle Obama delivered a powerful and deft defense of her husband, wrapping him in biography and the American story. She also started the process of rebutting the previous week's attacks.Read more
First lady Michelle Obama lauds husband's values, visionBy Karen Tumulty, The Washington Post
First lady Michelle Obama declared Tuesday that her husband's record in office has proved his values, his vision and his courage, as the Democrats opened their convention here with a wide-ranging appeal to the diverse constituencies and interests they must bring out in force to reelect the president.Read more

Obama team sees convention as paving way to victoryBy Alexis Simendinger, Real Clear Politics
President Obama and his campaign team believe a successful Democratic National Convention can help plow a path to victory in November. Having experienced the same phenomenon in Denver four years ago, they hope to bottle convention magic one more time.Read more
For Michelle Obama, a new image but an old roleBy Beth Reinhard, National Journal
When Michelle Obama spoke at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, she was warily viewed as a woman proud of her country "for the first time" and caricatured by The New Yorker as an Afroed and armed rebel soldier.Read more from National Journal

Democrats outline convention scheduleBy Helene Cooper, The New York Times

Obama team sharpens attacks on rivals' characterBy Jackie Calmes, The New York Times
As the Obama campaign heads into its convention next week, Democrats see openings both to fill in unpopular details of Mitt Romney's agenda left unsaid by Republicans in Tampa this week and to raise new questions about Mr. Romney's character after widespread criticism of misstatements by him and his running mate, Paul D. Ryan.Read more
The risks of RomneynomicsBy Jim Tankersley, National Journal

Dispatches From the Republican National ConventionBy John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
For those who didn't think that Mitt Romney has had to overcome obstacles: Clint Eastwood. The actor's 12-minute turn onstage at the Republican Convention was rambling and distracting. He spoke to an empty chair in which he pretended the president sat. A few times he pretended the president had suggested he and Romney have intercourse with themselves. Obama spokesperson Ben Labolt suggested that, as counter-programming, the Democrats next week would have Salvador Dali. President Obama got in on the fun by tweeting a picture of himself sitting in the Roosevelt Room chair. (This seat's taken.) The convention that had seemed snakebit at the start, with Hurricane Isaac and tropical storm Todd Akin, appeared to be ending on the same cursed note.Read more
Romney vows to deliver country from economic travailsBy Jeff Zeleny, The New York Times
Mitt Romney accepted the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday by making a direct appeal to Americans who were captivated by President Obama's hopeful promises of change, pledging that he could deliver what the president did not and move the country from its worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.Read more
Romney draws battle lines in GOP acceptance speechBy Dan Balz, The Washington Post

The president meets the Boss on this week's Billboard charts, thanks to the Democratic National Convention.
Bing: Which celebs attended the DNC?
After Bruce Springsteen's song "We Take Care of Our Own" was played at the end of President Obama's speech at the convention on Sept. 6, the song surged with a 409% sales gain. In the week ending Sept. 9, it sold 2,000 downloads -- its best sales week since March.
The President's speech was the finale of the three-day event, and was broadcast across an array of TV networks (including ABC, CBS and NBC) as well as via YouTube and many other streaming sites.
More: Tom Petty thrilled song was showcased at Democratic National Convention
The "We Take Care of Our Own" parent album, "Wrecking Ball," also saw a sales increase. It rises from No. 199 to No. 112 on the Billboard 200 chart with 3,000 sold (a weekly gain of 37%).
Earlier this year, "Wrecking Ball" became Springsteen's tenth No. 1 album, tying him with Elvis Presley for the third-most No. 1s in the chart's history. Only the Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (12) have more.
The majority of people in the arts are liberals therefore democrat. What a surprise that THE BOSS tows the company line. Only when they can see how outrageous so called progressive behavior is decaying our society, that took centuries to build, do they decide to speak out and do something about it. How bad did it finally get with gangster rap before Tipper Gore got fed up
her husbands "anything goes" politics and took a necessary stand to stop the decay. It is a matter of responsibility instead of sticking your head in the sand. Dems and Reps are a good system for checks and balances. When one goes too far the other becomes the answer . You fail to live up to your word you are voted out of office.

FRIDAY, Oct. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Teachers are much more likely than people with other jobs to be diagnosed with progressive speech and language disorders, according to a new study.
"Teachers are in daily communication," study senior author Dr. Keith Josephs, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., said in a Mayo news release. "It's a demanding occupation, and teachers may be more sensitive to the development of speech and language impairments."
Those with progressive speech and language disorders may lose their ability to form sentences or articulate the right sounds when they are speaking. Although these disorders are different from the dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease, they are usually fatal within 10 years of the initial diagnosis, according to the news release.
In conducting the study, which was published in the September issue of the American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease & Other Dementias, the researchers examined roughly 100 patients with progressive speech and language disorders, most of whom were teachers. The researchers compared this group to more than 400 people with Alzheimer's disease involved in the Mayo Clinic Study on Aging.
The study revealed that people with speech and language disorders were three and a half times more likely to be teachers than were patients with Alzheimer's disease. The researchers said other jobs were not associated with this type of discrepancy, the news release said.
It is important to note that although the study found an association between teaching and incidence of speech and language disorders, it did not show a cause-and-effect relationship.

Enjoy some good one-liners and bits from your favorite late-night comedians.
Jay Leno: "And Barack Obama continues to lead in the polls. Barack said today if it wasn't for Fox News, he might be up two or three more points in the polls. So apparently, five of the six news channels openly rooting for him isn't enough."
Jay Leno: "Vice President Dick Cheney was treated, today, for an irregular heartbeat. His doctors aren't sure what caused it. They figured it was either stress or the sudden drop in oil prices."
Jay Leno: "Well, doctors now say drinking alcohol shrinks your brain. … Their proof -- the last eight years of the White House."
David Letterman: "I watched the debate, and, honestly, there was no question…who looked more presidential. Bob Schieffer."
David Letterman: "Did you notice how energetic and aggressive John McCain was during the debate? I mean, I think somebody added Red Bull to his Mylanta."
Conan O'Brien: "Earlier this evening, the third presidential debate was held. … Hillary Clinton was sitting in the audience. Did you know that? Yeah. Yeah, in fact, when John McCain was attacking Barack Obama, you could hear Hillary yelling, 'Get him!'"
Conan O'Brien: "Sarah Palin had her motorcade stop at a Wal-Mart so she could buy a bag of diapers. … Palin said she wouldn't have made the stop for diapers, but John McCain's completely out."
Jimmy Kimmel: "Anheuser-Busch, the beer company, underwrote" the debate. They "paid for everything, which is a little…odd because Cindy McCain owns" an "Anheuser-Busch wholesaler in Arizona. … I don't know much about running for president, but it seems to me that John McCain's not spending nearly enough time working 'the my wife can get us free beer angle.' Right?"

Good but could be better
"I guess I'll start first by saying, you get what you pay for. These shoes are great for the price and I get a lot of compliments on them daily. The problem is, I've only had them for 2 months now and they've creased a lot and the color of the leather is wearing already on some parts of the shoe. Aside from that, they are a good comfortable shoe for work, casual or formal wear. Just wish the quality was a bit better, but for the price, they're good."

I use these for my JBL EON's, I don't know why someone would rate them one star because they are a rip-off of other designs? Really? I wonder if they even own them. Anyhow, the stands seem to be very well built and make raising and lowering of my speakers much easier...a great back-saving option!

These little versions of the famous porrón wine pitcher bring the joy of a Spanish fiesta to our every day. Whether they are used on the dining room table or to decorate the windowsill or Christmas tree, they always bring back fond memories.
A porrón wine pitcher brings fun and laughter to any gathering! Wine is poured in a thin stream from the spout directly into your mouth. As you can imagine, this takes some skill, and learning how to master the porrón is half the enjoyment.
Our larger hand-blown recycled glass porrón has long been a customer favorite, so we were thrilled when our supplier created this miniature version. Each one comes with a tiny cork and holds about 5 ounces of liquid. We fill them with extra virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar, a handy and fun addition to the dining room table. They are also a delightful holder for small cut flowers on the kitchen windowsill.
During the holidays, they can be a whimsical decoration for the Christmas tree or fireplace mantle. Simply tie a ribbon around the neck of these cute little pitchers and add a touch of Spain to your holiday decorations.
These porrones come two to a box, each with its own cork. Wash before first use. Hand-blown from recycled glass.

I really love the back of this wig...very cute style from the back, and the color is beautiful too...however, the front leaves much to be desired. The bangs are really too long and the wig seems to encompass half of my face. I guess I need to stick to petite-sized wigs from now on. Overall, not bad, if I could find someone who could trim it properly to fit my face. That's easier said than done, from past experience.

Best Product Paula Young Carried
By showa789
from Lebanon, OH
I use this product every day. It is easy to put on, needs little to no maintenance and always looks perfect. My only concern right now is that Paula Young has recently discontinued this product. Not sure why, but sure hope they bring it back again very soon. Once it is available again, I for one will buy many more.
I have been told this is not available.

Sexy but subtle.
By Sienna Sue

This Sienna wig is sexy but is a subtler color (Riviera Sunset) than is shown in the catalogue. The catalogue color is a tad orange-y but the reality is perfection.Wish it came in Large. My head is swollen from all the compliments!
I would buy this item again

This is my daily "go to" hair and have received many compliments. It is very natural looking. A little tighter than my other average size wigs, but not uncomfortable. Love it and feel very confident wearing it.

I love the color, wish PYW would make more wigs in sunkissed colors. The Sienna wig is just perfect--it makes me look younger and makes my face look thinner! I use it for everyday and every occasion
Simple and Beautiful
By Tricia
from Beaverton
The cut of this wig lovingly frames your face without overpowering. I wear the sunkissed red shade and it is beautiful and natural looking and truly does glisten in the sun. Redheads know that our hair is multi-colored and just appears as one shade. It also swings naturally it is not too thick. I hope Paula Young carries this style for a long, long time!

So, is anyone here going with the chosen today?
I did think about it myself, but then realised I'd already booked a holiday for October, so I'm afraid judgement must wait at least until after that.

Types of Aid
Each student who completes a FAFSA will be considered for all of the following types of aid:
Institutional Scholarships and Grants
University scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and demonstrated talent. Graduate students are considered financially independent and are not eligible for need-based assistance.
To assist students and their families with financial planning for their enrollment, scholarship amounts are fixed and renewable for one year so long as the student makes satisfactory academic progress.
Graduate Students must be enrolled for at least nine credits to be considered for such assistance.
Federal Work Study (FWS)
FWS is a federally funded program administered by the University. Eligibility for this program is based upon the availability of funds to the University and the student's EFC.
The Financial Aid Office will make a determination of the student's eligibility to earn money through the FWS Program. Notification of eligibility will be included in the Award letter.
An FWS award is not an offer or a guarantee of a job; it is the amount a student is eligible to earn should she or he secure a job. Work study awards are not applied against the invoice. Payment is made directly to employed students by a University payroll check.
Eligible students are permitted to work up to 20 hours weekly when classes are in session. Students are paid at least minimum wage, and hours may be arranged to accommodate the class schedule. The FWS award can be used between July 1, 2008, and June 30, 2009.
Jobs are usually available throughout the University in academic departments, Public Safety, University offices, the University Libraries etc. Positions require various levels of skill and experience. Additional positions with approved off-campus, non-profit organizations provide students the opportunity to be employed in community service positions and receive payment through the FWS program.
Non-Federal Work Study (NFWS)
Students who do not qualify to work under the Federal Work Study program may work on campus under the NFWS program.
Information about job availability and placement is as listed in the Federal Work Study section.
General Information About Student Employment
The Student Employment Handbook contains expanded information about FWS and NFWS, job openings, and additional information for fall placement. The handbook is available on the UArts portal in late summer.
Students are reminded that falsifying time cards is a criminal offense, which can subject them to criminal prosecution, disciplinary action, expulsion, and/or loss of all financial aid.

An American Fork woman who contends she was shut out of the opportunity to adopt her grandson from foster care took her fight to the Utah Supreme Court last week.
"I was never allowed even a hearing," said Seana Collins. She tears up when she thinks about the boy, now 5, whom she hasn't seen for more than a year after his adoption by another family. "My younger children feel like they've lost a sibling."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
But the state says Collins didn't prove in time she could safely take care of the boy. Allowing the boy's troubled mother to stay in her home at first, which Collins says she did at a social worker's urging, also hurt her claim.
"From the very beginning she did not qualify," guardian ad-litem Martha Pierce, an attorney assigned by the state to look out for the boy's interests, told the Utah Supreme Court. "She was reminded of [the deadlines] several times. She didn't preserve her claim."
Those deadlines are important because moving from family to family is traumatic for a child, according to the state.
"We object to the notion this is somehow the state vs. the grandparent and we're somehow trying to run roughshod over their rights," said Assistant Attorney General John Peterson.
Collins, who was surrounded by family at the hearing, said she couldn't initially afford an attorney and claimed Division of Child and Family Services workers misled her about the process.
"I didn't even know the steps," she said. "I didn't know what I needed to do" to adopt the boy she had helped rear since his birth.
Utah Supreme Court justices asked whether an apparent filing mistake should prevent Collins from being considered to adopt him.
For a juvenile court judge to be "putting blinders on and ignoring a competing adoption petition, particularly when it's a relative … how can that be in the best interests of the child?" asked Justice Thomas Lee.
Collins' attorney, Sara Pfrommer, argued a grandparent's "right to be considered" should be "absolute."
But Justice Christine Durham asked how the court should weigh Collins' rights in considering the best interests of the child.
"Having a conversation with a DCFS worker does not protect your legal rights," Durham said, even if the result was "tragic."
Collins' daughter was 14 when she became pregnant. Given her daughter's age, Collins became something of a surrogate mother to the boy and five of her eight children still living at home thought of the baby as a sibling.
But, in June 2010, Collins' daughter began getting into trouble with alcohol, drugs and stealing. Worried about her then 3-year-old grandson, Collins called police, and DCFS got involved.
Collins said she told social workers from the beginning that she wanted custody of her grandson, but they told her to focus on helping the daughter so she could keep the boy. The 18-year-old girl had nowhere else to go for help or a place to live, so Collins agreed.
But keeping her troubled daughter at home also meant the home wasn't a safe place for the boy, according to the state. When a family placement fell through, the boy was put in foster care.
"I just remember my heart sinking," Collins said during an interview at her home, "but I thought it would just be a short time, that [my daughter] would get better. At the time, I didn't understand drug addiction. She's the only one of my children who ever had this problem."
Collins visited with her grandson as he was shifted to various foster homes, but her daughter continued on a downward spiral. In April 2011, the boy was placed with a family who wanted to adopt him. Within months, Collins' visitation rights ended.Next Page >

A Texas lacrosse player thought it was a good idea to cut inline even though his name hadn't been called to board the plane. He was caught and his coaches and the crew of his Southwest flight orchestrated an opportunity for him to apologize. Check out the video.
Tilt shift photography or in this case videography makes things look and feel miniature. These guys have done a great job combining video and tilt shift to show off the amazing sights of the Rio de Janeiro Carnaval Party.
It looks real. I can't tell for sure, but I do know one thing…I would never try shooting myself with a gun to try out a bullet proof vest or armor or anything http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bUacUmhI7U4
Jon Gomm really gets going around the 1:18 mark in this video, so don't stop before that. He sings, plays, guitar, tunes his guitar and plays drums on his guitar all at the same time. A tremendously talented individual just said NO to Britain's Got Talent when they called.
Look at this image long enough and you'll see the freakiness. Keep looking, you'll find it.

Sony Crams PS2 into 720p Bravia TV in UKIf your PlayStation 3 doesn't support PS2 backwards compatibility and you live in the UK, you now have the option of purchasing a new Sony Bravia KDL-22PX300 LCD 720p TV... which has a PlayStation 2 built into its base (via Engadget).
The set will run you around 200 pounds (around $300), but also includes 4 HDMI ports for actual HD content should you decide to connect something a little bit more modern than a PlayStation 2. Fun fact, the TV will also play DVDs out of the box through the PS2 component.
I wonder how the stretched out PS2 games look on this device. If you aren't in the UK, don't get all import happy if this is right up your alley unless you also plan on buying a bunch of PAL games.

When you book into one of our Birmingham hotels, you'll find yourself conveniently located in the heart of the thriving city center while still staying connected to major roadways, train stations, and airports.
Located in the West Midlands of England on a raised stretch of ground known as the Birmingham Plateau, Birmingham is Britain's second largest population and economic center.
Birmingham was a late bloomer and remained rather isolated in comparison to other English towns for much of history. This all changed during the Industrial Age, however, when the combination of pioneering manufacturing practices and the brilliant thinkers of the Midlands Enlightenment re-forged the city. With groundbreaking technological and scientific developments happening on their home turf, "Brummies" created an economy of small workshops producing specialized products. This, in turn, led to social mobility for tradesmen, and eventually Birmingham's citizens demanded more clout in English politics, helping to lay the groundwork for a democracy.
Take an architectural peek into Birmingham's building history when you check out the medieval St. Martin in the Bull Ring church. Both St. Paul's Square and St. Philip's Cathedral are grand examples of Georgian era architecture, while buildings constructed in the Victorian age will give you a glimpse into that era's elegance and wealth. The Victoria Law Courts were constructed in a distinctive red brick and terracotta pattern, while the Council House dominates the skyline.
Birmingham is awash in cultural offerings, from the sleek nightlife and dining on Broad Street and Brindleyplace to the Museum & Art Gallery, which contains an internationally recognized collection of pre-Raphaelite art. Chocolate lovers won't want to miss the samples at Cadbury World, which details the production and history of the beloved candy brand. Not to be outdone by London, Birmingham also hosts a trifecta of eminent performing arts companies: the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Birmingham Opera Company. Your night out will definitely be one to remember.
The range of shopping in Birmingham is dizzying, and yet very manageable on foot. Elegant New Street carries many big name brands, and rewards any adventurous deal seekers that wander off into its branching alleyways. Connected to the one-of-a-kind Selfridges, the Bullring shopping center brings an atmosphere of luxurious shopping and dining right to you. Find—or even commission—a gift for that special someone in the Jewellery Quarter, where over 100 craftspeople sell their wares. Birmingham is also renowned for the variety of its markets. Centered at Bullring, the Open, Indoor, and Rag markets let dedicated bargain hunters haggle for everything under the sun.
Did you know that Birmingham is the birthplace of the English Football League (soccer to Americans)? How about lawn tennis? Birmingham is the perfect place for sporty types. Whether you're catching a Second City derby between Birmingham's two football clubs or one of the Warwickshire County Cricket Club's rousing matches, your day on the pitch will be packed.
Called Spaghetti Junction, Birmingham's highway intersection has connections to most major destinations. With the Centro urban rail system, international airport, Birmingham New Street Train Station, and even canals at your disposal, your next stop is easy to make.
Whatever your reason for a visit to the innovative Midlands, our Birmingham hotels will pamper you with stylish interiors and professional service. Our full suite of business amenities, great values, and pampering extras help you greet each day of your stay with enthusiasm and ease.
