Product Review Summary
Consumer Reviews
A good car minus the millions of repairs
We had just sold a 1990 Plymouth Voyager. We didn't like the minivan design, so we were looking for a large car that could seat six people. In 1996 we came across this 92 Lincoln Continental. It seemed to be a great deal: a good-looking luxury car with tons of bells and whistles for the low price... Read full review »
Lincoln Money Pit
I am a very experienced professional mechanic, I have been working on all makes of foreign and domestic cars for 41 years. I have all my own tools and shop. Based on this experience I bought a 1992 Lincoln Continental for 3,000.00 dollars. It had 149,000 miles so I expected some problems. I knew I... Read full review »
Is this car for you?
I bought this car used about 6 months ago. The car "looks wise" was in almost perfict condition. And it only had 108,000 miles on it. Some of you might think this is alot of miles, but I had a 1986 Crown Victoria that went well over 318,000.

While Quiznos promotes pulled pork and Subway celebrates avocado season, Bess Wohl loads her "American Hero" with existential anguish.
The comedy, having its world premiere at the Williamstown Theatre Festival through July 7, addresses corporate greed, the plight of the service worker, and the difficulty of attaining even the most basic form of the American Dream. And it does all that through the slightly surreal prism of a new toasted-subs franchise at a suburban strip mall in Anywhere, USA.

Miley Cyrus was just being a "smart-ass" a week ago when she said she was a pothead ... this according to her rep.
The rep tells TMZ ... Miley was joking about the cake her friends got her for her 19th birthday when she said, "You know you're a stoner when friends make you a Bob Marley cake. You know you smoke way too much f***in' weed."
The rep says the Bob Marley cake was an inside joke ... Kelly Osbourne has been calling her "Bob Miley" since the infamous salvia incident that TMZ broke last year.
The rep says Miley is NOT a pothead ... and it was all meant in jest.
There are all kinds of equine fug going on in the Cyrus family. I blame the mother.... ugh!
What is wrong with being a "smoker"? Anyone can take a "stoner" & make them out to be whatever they want it to be. There's nothing to be ashamed of by smoking weed. If the person who wrote "U guys if @MileyCyrus is not recording/filming/touring she is works everyday how could she possible do all that if she was a stoner! #think.' (sic)" can't agree that Miley can't do all that without smoking, then what is to say to all the intellectual, smart, and successful "stoners" out there. MILEY, DON'T BE ASHAMED..! BUT IF YOU ARE, THEN YOU SHOULD GO AND DENOUNCE EVERYONE THAT SMOKES AND EVERYTHING YOU AND THEY HAVE DONE, WHILE SMOKING OR BEING HIGH. Otherwise, be proud that you smoke. Regardless of what people think of you, you're still successful, while they're not.
Instead of buying pot, she should be spending money to get her nasty looking teeth fixed.
just getting more street cred i think...or whatever. i dont really care! the main photo is just so funny! suits her well. :)
You know what I would have said? Phuu Qyew, TMZ.
Death penalty. Send her to the gallows and then there should be a public hanging. Too harsh? OK, then maybe publically tied and quartered. Too harsh? OK, then maybe she should be publically set on fire. Too harsh? OK, then maybe she should just be harassed online by bullies. That seems to be a fair punishment. I am sure she will see the sales of her products drop by at least 10% so that makes me feel good that she will suffer because of her poor choices. JUSTICE! Druggies need to be put in their place. And by that I mean they need to be physically harmed for misbehaving. Only then will kids learn that drugs are bad for you.
More like a dumb ass.
She already spoke about weed, or salvia, once before. Why speak about it again if it;s not on her mind?
More redneck lying. She is better off as a mentor to little kids (which she is unfortunately) just admitting...or not denying...that she smokes pot because that Salvia crap she DOES say she smokes is jungle ****.
If she stayed so stoned that she couldn't sing or act anymore, that would be fine with me (and millions of other people).
'Not buyin' it, loser!
Kelly looks stoned in the video too.
WARNING!!! Don't stand to close to Miley when she's talking, you might get struck by lightning!! What a freakin' liar!! She smokes, it's very evident in her voice. She sounds like a 60 year old man!
Surely she meant to say "I was a Dumbass" not a smartass.
oh please. She's caught smoking Salvia, she's caught smoking and drinking underage, and she thinks through her actions about as well as a pot head. if the joint fits, Miley will smoke it. Its funny, you don't hear of many Nickelodeon stars going nuts like this. There was Jamie Lynn Spears, but she's the sister of a Disney star. this would never have happened under Walt's reign. Annette Funicello wore a modest bathing suit in her first beach party movie because Walt reminded her she had a reputation to uphold. now that means nothing. britney spears, lindsay lohan, vanessa hudgens, Miley Cyrus... If I had kids, I wouldn't want them to be disney stars.

Yep, and probably like everyone else, yours would be biased and wrong too. Polls are subject to the ones who do them, their interests, and where their allegiance lies. Totally non-biased polls are hard to find. I find them like a husband/wife argument. There's usually 3 sides, his, hers, and the right one.

I think FEMA should have that power, and they should shoot anyone that resists. Remember, they would only use such power if there were some severe emergency like a disease outbreak. I'm not going to die just because some stupid nutcase thinks they are going to gassed by our lizard overlords.
This is a first for me. I've not heard this one before this was posted. There are always going to be people out there trying to find things that they can somehow tie together and make a case against the government but usually it is only to gain attention to them and whatever they are trying to sell, a book, movie or whatever. I wouldn't worry about this new idea about an old , worn out subject, and only be prepared for the Mayan end of the Earth!
Given there is no Constitutional authority for any president to declare a "National Emergency," we have wondered how the orchestraters of this plan expected to successfully execute the E.O.'s.
The plan for total control of every aspect of our lives has been under construction for a long time. As you read these executive orders, bear in mind that they mean nothing by themselves. They are not law, nor can they become law by and of themselves.
However, under legislation that is currently pending in most (if not all) states, they could potentially take on significant meaning.
The Emergency Health Powers legislation, pending in state capitols all across America if passed would give the governor the power to declare a state of health emergency by executive order. He then would be able to hand the reigns of power to whomever he chooses including the state's emergency management agency, which could essentially act as an arm of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Apart from and sometimes combined with these Emergency Health Powers Acts are varying forms of "anti-terror" bills that are virtually redefining the words "terror," "terrorism," and "terrorist."
States are busy right now, creating their own versions of the federal Office of Homeland Security. These state offices will oversee the process and details of the implementation of these orders. That is why it is so critical to get the legislation stopped in the states. For more information, or to read the bills we've compiled, go to the War on Americans is in the States section of this website.
After you're done reading these executive orders, you might wish to print them out and take them to your state legislators, to emphasize to them the importance of defeating the bills that are currently pending, that would be the final piece needed to implement the controllers plans.
And now, the list:
Executive Order #10995: Seizure of all communications media in the United States.
Executive Order #10997: Seizure of all electric power fuels and minerals, public and private.
Executive Order #10999: Seizure of all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control of highways, seaports and waterways.
Executive Order #11000: Seizure of all American people for work forces under federal supervision including the splitting of families if the government finds it necessary.
Executive Order #11001: Seizure of all health, education and welfare facilities, public and private.
Executive Order #11002: Empowered the postmaster general to register all men, women and children in the U.S.
Executive Order #11003: Seizure of all airports and aircraft.
Executive Order #11004: Seizure of all housing and finance authorities to establish Forced Relocation Designated areas to be abandoned as "unsafe."
Executive Order #11005: Seizure of all railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, public and private.
Executive Order #12919: Signs June 3, 1994, by President Clinton. Encompasses all the above executive orders.
But you know, the politicians are corrupt, they'll do what they want to try to stay in power, enrich themselves, and enslave the populace. It might work in any other nation on Earth, but I'm not convinced it will work here. The reason she probably believes this, is because it is what they are attempting to do, and she is more well read than you are.
Perhaps she is a foreigner and is familiar with what goes on in other countries? Perhaps she is also aware that the first targets will be aliens? So if she lives in the U.S., tell her our history and culture are different. They may have gotten away with it in New Orleans when a massive hurricane swept though, but it will take something like that on a nationwide scale to use such dictatorial powers here. IOW, hell and high water would have to come, not a government induced emergency. Already Americans are at the end of their rope and don't trust the government. FEMA's performance after Katrina was dismal, so to use such power again on a nation-wide scope would be a truly far fetched power grab, I really don't think the average American would tolerate it. If the TV, movies, computers, and professional sports all came to a halt and there were no more distractions? I don't think the American independent spirit would tolerate being herded like cattle and being told how they were going to rebuild their civilization. Nope, just isn't going to happen.
It's interesting that you should post this topic at this time. I have been doing a lot of reading lately that the occupy protests that were initiated by Ad-busters and funded by the elites such as the Soros foundations, were actually a counter-intelligence move by the establishment to justify just such a move in response to the disintegration of the West's and the Nations economy. Alternatively, I have heard some reliable reports that the movement has been infiltrated by agent provocateurs to ignite a spark to likewise justify such a move. Either way, since the movement isn't concentrating on the issue that are at the heart of the problem, it seems a plausible explanation, and maybe a wise move to steer clear of these disturbances for the time being until they become less suspect with a little more direction and aim.

Personally, I don't see the issue here - we are seeing already, with the Occupy protests, that military men and women are going to fight for what THEY believe is right, not always what they are ordered to do... the fact that uniformed marines and army soldiers are getting between protesters and police in an attempt to protect said protesters... they are not sheep. They know the difference between right and wrong... and I believe that, in a time of peril wherein such a corrupt act of government such as a wrongful institution of martial law (and don't get me wrong, there ARE times when Martial Law can be a necessity, like it or not), they will fight for what this country (which they have protected with their very lives) was founded for and it's beliefs, not what someone tells them to do.
At the same time, I believe the American Population will have to fend for itself.
Though, again, I don't really see this as an issue because, well, trying to implement something like this... it'd be much more difficult than giving a simple "go" word...
Internment / Resettlement Specialist (31E)
Internment/Resettlement (I/R) Specialists in the Army are primarily responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility. I/R Specialists provide rehabilitative, health, welfare, and security to U.S. military prisoners within a confinement or correctional facility; conduct inspections; prepare written reports; and coordinate activities of prisoners/internees and staff personnel.
Some of your duties as an Internment/Resettlement Specialist may include:
- Assist with the supervision and management of confinement and detention operations
- Provide external security to confinement/corrections facilities or detention/internment facilities
- Provide counseling and guidance to individual prisoners within a rehabilitative program
- Prepare or review reports and records of prisoners/internees and programs
- Assist with the supervision and management of confinement and detention operations
I just have to wonder about the mental health of people who seriously believe in conspiracies as wack as this one.

First from the maker´s announcement of contract award:
"… The special hollow point effectively passes through a variety of barriers and holds its jacket in the toughest conditions. HST is engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration.
"We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE," said Ron Johnson, President of ATK's Security and Sporting group. "The HST is a proven design that will continue to serve those who keep our borders safe."
ATK will produce the ammunition at the Federal Cartridge Company facility in Anoka, Minn. Deliveries are expected to begin in June. ..."
From: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/atk...ice-2012-03-12
Now for a more paranoid POV / evaluation:
"…"hollow point" ammunition is never purchased for practice or training. This ammunition is purchased for the sole purpose of being used in active fighting. At the same time, it is a violation of the Geneva Convention to use hollow point ammunition on the battle field.
This is crucial to understand. It means the occupying federal government is acquiring this ammunition to be used against the American people. Furthermore, DHS does not fight wars overseas. It is a domestic agency with domestic responsibilities. Its purchase of .40 ammunition is a clear and obvious indication that DHS plans to wage war on the American people.*

This 2nd quote from: http://www.naturalnews.com/035649_DH...estic_war.html
* If that were true, the order´s 450 million rounds would have more than 1,000 bullets for every person who took part, even just for a minute or two, in the 99%ers demonstrations against current US version of "capitalism." Talk about your "over kill" but hell order supports a business and it is only tax-payer´s money!
But read their links - it gets much worse. For example:
"... . The military will be kept out of it precisely because most soldiers would refuse to participate in tyranny, as they actually have morals and ethics. TSA agents, on the other hand, are child porn distributors, pimps, drug runners, child molesters, thieves, felons and perverts. They are the security force that has no moral bounds -- they will do ANYTHING to another person as long as they get a paycheck. These are the pot-bellied government thugs who will happily torture, rape and murder innocent Americans if they are ordered to do so. They are the "Brownshirts" of Amerika. ..." { also note spelling of America in last word.}

In target shooting, they are used for greater accuracy and reduction of smoke, fouling, and lead vapour exposure, as hollow point bullets have an enclosed base while traditional bullets have an exposed lead base.
hollow-point bullets are one of the most common types of civilian and police ammunition, due largely to the reduced risk of bystanders being hit by over-penetrating or ricocheted bullets, and the increased speed of incapacitation
They buy one type of ammo and use it for practice and to carry in the field.
Use of your field ammo for practice insures you will always have relatively fresh ammo on you.
And NO, it is not against the Geneva Convention to use them.
" The Hague Convention of 1899, Declaration III, prohibited the use in international warfare of bullets that easily expand or flatten in the body. This is often incorrectly believed to be prohibited in the Geneva Conventions, but it significantly predates those conventions, and is in fact a continuance of the St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868, ... NATO members do not use small arms ammunition that is prohibited by the Hague Convention.
Despite the ban on military use, hollow-point bullets are one of the most common types of civilian and police ammunition, due largely to the reduced risk of bystanders being hit by over-penetrating or ricocheted bullets, and the increased speed of incapacitation. ..."
You must like to score points on the technicality that it was earlier conventions and treaties (which you do not name) instead of the Geneva Conventions" that made hollow point bullets illegal in war.

You must like to score points on the technicality
Yes. He likes that very much. Very, very, very much.
Yeah Billy, I gave the link you are quoting from.
The Military doesn't use hollow points simply because they can be stopped by body armor, not because of that ancient Hague convention.
Indeed, the bullets they do use are FAR more damaging than those bullets you mentioned and are designed to penetrate a flack jacket or even the side of a vehicle and still do an incredible amount of damage.
And yet, just like the hollow point, they don't want the bullet to just go through the target, these bullets are specifically designed to yaw when they hit soft tissue, so as they go through the target they tumble and they also fragment and create multiple lethal wound tracks and they do it effectively at very long distances.
According to US DoD sources, the Mk 262 round is capable of making kills at 700 meters. Ballistics tests found that the round caused "consistent initial yaw in soft tissue" at more than 300 meters. Apparently it is superior to the standard M855 round when fired from an M4 or M16 rifle. It evidently possesses superior stopping power, and can allow for engagements to be extended to up to 700 meters.
This is crucial to understand. It means the occupying federal government is acquiring this ammunition to be used against the American people. Furthermore, DHS does not fight wars overseas. It is a domestic agency with domestic responsibilities. Its purchase of .40 ammunition is a clear and obvious indication that DHS plans to wage war on the American people.*
I mean when we have someone who posts that the US became a NET exporter of OIL in 2011, and even when shown, the moderators could care less, it seems to me that the claim to be science based is circling the drain.
I first quoted for the Maker of the hollow point bullets announcement of the award of contract for purchase of up to 450 million bullets, which did include some of their advantage in urban / police use (Not likely to pass thru "bad guy" and kill someone behind him, or if cop misses, ricochet off brick wall and hit someone else, one slug in the bad guy, usually stops him, etc.)
Then I quoted from another source, which I labeled as "paranoid." It is this later source that you are calling BS and they were technically wrong to state that hollow points were prohibited by the Geneva Convention, when it is the much earlier Hague convention that prohibited their use in war. That is a very common error - even your link, notes that most people falsely think it is a Geneva Convention prohibition. - Probably because few have even heard of the older Hague Convention.
They were not wrong to question the size of the order, IMHO. Buying 1.5 hollow point bullets for every man, woman, and child in the USA*, does seem to me to be an excessive waste of the tax payers money.
I know presenting both POVs instead of just the pro-business one disturbs you, but I don´t plan to adopt your "present only one POV" as only the pro-business POV is not BS.
*As something like 99% of all cops fire at bad guys less than once per year** and typically (just guessing) less than 1% of the US population are policemen, that means the business got order for >15,000 times more bullets than will be fired at each bad guy in a year.
** Most cops are office workers or raising funds for the city by writing traffic tickets, I think. - That is not saying that when they ticket some drunk doing 60mph on a neighborhood street, they are not doing a very important job, but truth is tickets do raise money (and many think each cop doing traffic control does have a "quota" to fill.)
I was once passing thru small PA town, in a long line of cars. We were all about 10mph over the speed limit. A cop pulled me (and only me) over gave me a ticket. I could got to court now to get hearing date in a few weeks and then return from >300 miles away and go to court, or just give him a $100 "to take to the judge" and be on my way. They don´t give tickets to locals - but collect a "tax" on out of state drivers doing exactly what the locals do. I think that cop was in business for himself and could not collect from locals.

They do use the same ammo for practice and training.

Cluster Analysis of Public Health Data
I am planning to conduct the proposed research activities during the spring semester of the 2014 academic year. I will keep my research activities focused on geographical disease surveillance with spatial and space-time cluster analysis. I am proposing the following activities:
- Continue doing research with cluster analysis applied to public health data sets
- Travel during the UWF spring break to Harvard University (Boston, Massachusetts) to continue collaborative research with Dr. Martin Kulldorff, in addition to University of Massachusetts (Amherst) to discuss Big Data extraction for the EPA RSEI micro data set with Dr. Michael Ash.
Dr. Martin Kulldorff is Professor and biostatistician in the Department of Population Medicine, Harvard Medical School. His main research interest is the developing of statistical methods for geographical disease surveillance, including methods for the early detection of disease outbreaks. We have a couple of research projects on which I would like to work during the spring 2015 semester, leading to a two week visit to Harvard. One of the projects is about geographical cluster analysis of rape rates in the USA. Dr. Kulldorff has welcomed such a visit, and his department will provide office space for me. Google Scholar shows 111161 citations to his scientific articles, with 7079 citations since 2008. He has received many external grants over the years. I have been holding discussions with Professor Kulldorff over the past three years, and I am learning a lot from him about modeling for cluster analysis studies.
Dr. Michael Ash is Professor and Chair of Economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He is an excellent computer programmer, and he has access to EPA air quality data at the micro level. His high profile research at the Political Economy Research Institute includes Justice in the Air: Tracking Toxic Pollution from America's Industries. I am fortunate through my association with Professor Ash to be one of only three research groups in the USA who have access to the EPA micro data set on air pollution. I am discussing with him the possibility of using cluster analysis methods to analyze air pollution data. I am planning to visit him in Amherst as I visit Boston.

Mining Breast Cancer Data
In this research, we consider the problem of classifying breast cancer data using various classification rules, such as linear, quadratic, logistic, k nearest neighbor (k-NN), and k rank nearest neighbor (k-RNN) rules. We compare the performances of these classification rules with respect to two large breast cancer data sets. We also explore the significance of breast cancer features in order to find the best model for cancer diagnosis.

Novel Copper Compounds for Electronics Applications
In the semiconductor industry, the manufacture of integrated circuits and other solidstate devices often relies on a technique called Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). In this technique, a gas is passed over a hot surface, which reacts with the gas, resulting in a thin film coating the surface. One of the important uses of CVD is the manufacture of thin copper films used to make "interconnects" (circuit lines) on the integrated circuits in high-performance computer chips. However, no satisfactory method exists yet for depositing this metal with good adhesion to the surface. This project focuses on the synthesis of new copper-containing compounds that can work well in industrial CVD processes. Certain new copper compounds containing unipositive copper(I) ions (Cu+), the oxalate anion (C2O42–) and various ligands (organic molecules attached to the copper ions) have been synthesized in the last few years for use as CVD precursors. These so-called copper(I) oxalate complexes, which can be made from affordable starting materials such as copper(I) oxide and oxalic acid, show promise for use in CVD because they can generate copper metal cleanly, producing non-toxic carbon dioxide as the by-product. The goal of this project, sensu stricto, is to create novel copper(I) oxalate complexes for possible use in CVD. In a broader sense, however, our research group is interested in carrying out a detailed study of the chemical reaction used to create these complexes, in order to gain a broader understanding of their synthesis, structure, reactivity and stability.

National Recruitment Tour
The project will encompass collecting data, presenting lectures, recitals and teaching master classes at pre-college educational organizations and high schools renowned for successful string programs. Targeted areas include Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Montana and New
I plan to collect specific data pertaining to distinguished pre-college string programs: a) size and type of a program; b) size and type of orchestra/ensemble classes offered; c) level of music theory/history classes offered; d) percentage of students taking one-on-one instrumental lessons; e) level of senior string students' repertoire. The follow-up analyses of the collected data would allow the UWF Department of Music to calibrate its operation in areas of a) recruitment and retention of music students; b) successful collaboration with local/regional music programs and c) further development of our own pre-college music program. My lectures, recitals and master classes would enable us to create personal contacts with prospective music students and their teachers, inform them about unprecedented vigor of musical life in West Florida, and create excitement about excellence of the UWF music program.
As UWF continues to build a strong and dynamic string program, we strive to attract promising prospective music students from around the nation. Success of the proposed tour would be a critical step towards the fulfillment of our professional mission.

Effects of Exercise on Cardioprotection
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Growing evidence has shown that regular bouts of endurance exercise provide significant cardioprotection against cardiovascular diseases. Nonetheless, the mechanisms responsible for exercise-mediated cardioprotection remain in large unknown. Mitochondria are indispensable organelles that provide energy for cells to sustain incessant cardiac function, but when damaged, they critically contribute to myocardial cell death. Therefore, maintaining mitochondrial quality control is very important. Interestingly, endurance exercise causes cardioprotective mitochondrial traits where damaged proteins and small organelles are disposed. Specifically, our central hypothesis is that regular endurance exercise promotes removal of dysfunctional mitochondria by autophagy and provides cardioprotection.

Examining Health and Psychosocial Factors of Unaccompanied Homeless Youth Relative to College and Career Readiness Considerations: A Mixed Methods Research Project
The special population of homeless youth has become an alarming concern within America's educational challenges. Recent national estimates of the number of homeless youth vary because of the mobility of the group. However, estimates range from 8 percent to10 percent of youth across the country are by definition considered to be homeless (National Network for Youth, 2003). The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Improvements Act of 2001 defines unaccompanied youth as "those who are not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian" (42 U. S. C. 11431 et seq). The need for high quality research efforts to identify characteristics and indicators of homeless youth to provide appropriate educational opportunities and experiences for college and career readiness considerations is prevalent in the literature and aligns with the higher education need for addressing this audience of potential students and for developing programs to appropriately prepare these students to enter America's workforce.
The project will examine pertinent constructs framed by Life Span Development Theory including biological considerations, cultural considerations, and psychosocial factors. The life-span perspective emphasizes development across the course of a lifetime and all stages of the span contribute to development. The proposed research project will investigate two research questions: (a) RQ1: What are the influences and interrelationships of homeless youths' perceptions of health and safety, self- esteem, aspirations, past performances, attendance records, Grade Point Average, and residency information relative to college and career readiness levels? (b) RQ2: What is the impact of specific college and career awareness intervention services and programs on homeless youths' perceptions of health and safety, self-esteem, aspirations, attendance records, and college and career readiness levels? The research methodology consists of a pre/post sequential mixed-methods research design with qualitative interview data and quantitative survey data retrieved from the targeted N=50 high school students identified by Santa Rosa County School District. Study findings will provide relevant results and implications for developing appropriate educational programs to prepare this special needs audience for college/career readiness and the workforce.

What Jim Crow Forgot: Historical Remnants of Racial Inequality
I am currently under a signed contract for a book entitled: What Jim Crow Forgot: Historical Remnants of Racial Inequality. The book tells the stories of people, places, and events that remain as evidence to a time when Jim Crow Laws segregated Southern cities and towns.
For the past three years, I have conducted site-based photographic research throughout Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina. To ensure quality of the final product I must return to South Carolina and North Carolina to photograph definitive sites throughout the state, and complete archival research at Shaw University.
To complete final publication of the book, I must accomplish an index and final edit. A graduate student will complete the process of constructing the index and an outside editor must complete final edits before I submit the manuscript to the publisher. The manuscript will contain a series of my photographs taken during site-based research visits. Photographic images assist in accurately reporting changes over time, while providing readers with purposeful meaning captured by the researcher.
As a professor in the field of Diversity Studies, funding of this research contributes to the field through the study of race relations, oppression, African American history, political economics, ideological perspectives, and educational delivery systems. As a professor in the field of Qualitative Research, this activity follows the research strategies of: Photographic Inquiry, Site-Based Research, Historical and Archival Research.
These funds will pay travel expenses, graduate student assistantship hours, editorial fees, and cost of photographic printing supplies.
The faculty members selected will initiate their research and creative projects in the Spring 2014 semester, and present a final report in the Summer 2014 semester.
About the University of West Florida: Founded in 1963, the University of West Florida is a vibrant, distinctive institution of higher learning with undergraduate, graduate and targeted research programs.

Glass Half Full
Source: OpenClipart.org
Early last week, my wife dropped her iPad on the driveway with predictable results: the screen shattered - which also sums up my wife's feelings on the matter. (By the way, she isn't normally affected by accidents like that - she was only upset that it broke because she uses it every day; which lends further support to the growing body of evidence that iPads and other devices like them are the future of computing.) In fact, the only thing that could match her gloom was my enthusiasm, because a broken iPad means that I get to fix an iPad - and there isn't really anything an engineer likes more than tearing stuff apart (for science, of course). (Title's making more sense now, isn't it?)
Oh, the humanity!
I ordered a replacement screen and "iOpener" tool kit from iFixit (incidentally, the iFixit guys were in the same class as me at CalPoly), which arrived a few days later. Their instructions warn that replacing the screen is very difficult, and should be expected to take a few hours.
I didn't find it to be as hard or take as long as they warned, taking almost exactly two hours. With the exception of the heating pad, the other tools that came in the iOpener kit (guitar picks, blue plastic prying tools) were not very useful. Because the screen was shattered, I had better success with an exacto knife, a small hobby knife, and the spudger tool from iFixit.
Since I knew it would take a few hours, I hooked up my DSLR camera to my computer as an intervalometer set to take a picture every 15 seconds. Without further ado, here is a video of the whole process, compressing three minutes in every second of video.
My mother says I look like Charlie Chaplin, but I don't see it…
Realized that I'm wearing my "glass half full" shirt in the video…serendipity, because I hadn't planned the title of the article when I did the repair. Also shared my story on iFixit.

(CBS) The Cubs have placed right-handed pitcher Matt Guerrier and outfielder Thomas Neal on the 60- and 15-day disabled list, respectively, the club announced Thursday.
Guerrier injured his right elbow, while Neal dislocated his right shoulder.
Surprisingly, catcher Dioner Navarro, who suffered a right ankle bruise after a violent collision with Chase Utley and was carted off the field on Wednesday, wasn't placed on the DL as he awaits MRI results.
"I was scared," Navarro said. "I thought it was going to be worse than what it was. I tape my ankles when I play, so I guess the tape did its job and I'm fortunate."
The Cubs called up catcher J.C. Boscan and pitcher Eduardo Sanchez to fill out the 25-man roster.

Try This Fool-Proof Method for Cooking Any Kind of Rice
Bring a large pot of water to boil - you can use any size pot as long as it's large. Salt the water as you would pasta water (ie, salty like the sea!), and add the rice. Turn the heat to low and let the rice simmer in the water until it is tender and chewy. Drain the rice, return it to a pot, and cover it with a lid or clean kitchen towel until you're ready to serve the rice. Fluff before serving with a fork or wooden spoon.
That's it! Cooking time will vary depending on the variety of rice, but this takes a lot of the guesswork out of cooking rice — you'll never scorch the rice on the bottom or end up with a gummy mess. And don't limit yourself to rice either! This method works with any grain, from farro to wheat berries.
I find this method particularly handy when I'm cooking on vacation or in someone else's kitchen and can't remember the exact ratios to use. It's also incredibly easy to halve or double the amount of rice I make without worrying if my ratios will be off.
Give it a try and save your measuring cups for another day!

Some would disagree----- in the following book there are subtle variations in the way that rice responds to steaming vs immersion cooking and some methods which use both, ie set water ratios start as immersion and then become steaming. I don't have the book with me but there was a scientific rationale as to why this was.
Not quite sure this is the best method. According to sources that I have read, you loose some of the nutrional value of brown rice when you drain the water. I find a simple 2:1 ration with brown rice works and is pretty easy.
Eh, I grew up with a rice cooker, and I will continue to use a rice cooker.
Does the salt do anything other than add flavor? I'd rather not add sodium if its not needed, especially if I'm having the rice with something that's already salty.
Why all the hating? Have you tried it? I can't cook rice to save my life ...I always get close and then the bottom gets stuck and I still have undone rice. I do the 2:1 ratio too, but to no avail. I will try this method out.
This method bugs me simply because it means that I'd have to dirty my sieve.
I cook rice with usually a 2:1 ratio, but most rices come with cooking tips on the package. One sushi rice I had called for a 1.5:1 ratio. Always turned out well.
I have made rice using this method and it does work. HOWEVER, for my personal taste, it is not the same as rice cooked in the "usual" way
I found that the rice tasted too "washed" for me - not sure how to express it better - it might be that for brown rice and others with a stronger taste this method works fine. But regular white rice, like jasmine, basmati, long grain white, definitely taste better (to me) cooked in the regular way.
I'm with Labchick. I always burn rice.
Labchick, no hating just a difference of opinion and yes I have tried it, it's too wet for me. For the record I usually use a microwave method because the taste/texture and moisture is good, not as good as on the stovetop but it is less variable. I will agree that this method is foolproof so if you can't cook rice at all, its a really good method.
The reason why most people use the 1 cup rice 2 cups water-ratio (or similar for special rice kinds) is simple: with this ratio you do not need to watch the rice, it cooks "on its own". No standing at the stove, no stirring. I mean, I give it a good stir once or twice after it starts boiling and then turn the heat to the lowest point (on hot days even no heat at all whatsoever).
The rice "cooks" on its own until it is perfectly done. Never burnt for sure. No fuss at all.
Another method: let the rice boil, then cool down the pot slightly to not to cause brown marks on fabric, then pack the (tight closing) rice pot in old coverlets and into your bed or into another warm place (like a box packed with wool or something like that). Perfectly cooked rice and perfect for busy people, since it is done even when you are not at home, and after it is done, it keeps warm for several hours.
OK, I was saying "hating" kind of tongue and cheek, sometimes its hard to be funny online. Sorry.
But anyway, i actually just tried it, it was better than the way I usually make it. But I definitely see what you are saying about it being a little washed out. I did use brown rice and frankly it tasted like white rice. But i'm sure I will keep trying the tried and true method... impatience is probably half of my problem!
I'm preparing to buy my first rice cooker, and I'm looking forward to it. Also no fuss-no muss.
i tend to have trouble with rice. why? i follow the directions, usually leaving out the butter and salt. the other day, i made brown rice that was done.. and creamy. what the heck! soo i turned it into risotto and luckily it went well with the rest of the meal.
I grew up using the "first knuckle joint" method of measuring how much water to add to whatever quantity of long-grain rice you're cooking, and every chef instructor I've had in culinary school has taught my classes the same method whether we've used the steamer, rice cooker, or just a pot. It's not much of a science, but it's always worked for me. I think the ratio works out to 1:1.5.
As far as rinsing cooked rice, I wonder if that would explain the "rinsed rice" flavor and the loose consistency I've gotten from rice I've eaten in certain restaurants. It was cooked fine, but to me, it didn't taste quite right.
Here's my method: Zojirushi NS-LAC05 Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer
I don't know that this would work with any kind of rice.
I usually cook Japanese (short-grain) rice...it's supposed to be sticky.
I'm with squidlette. I grew up with a rice cooker. One of the first things I learned to cook was rice. Just rinse the rice. Measure water by touching your finger to the top of the rice, filling the water to the first line of your middle finger (hope that came out clear). Put in the rice cooker and press on. I have never burned rice, although there are those rare times when I've put too much water and the rice is a little soggy.
Rinsing the rice after cooking makes it less sticky by releasing some of the starch. Some people prefer it this way. I like it sticky, so I use the 2:1 ratio method.
Some people also rinse white rice before cooking to get rid of any excess starch, which also makes it less sticky. Long-grain brown rice has a bran hull, so it doesn't need the rinsing before cooking.
"Passionate Vegetarian" by Crescent Dragonwagon (my very favorite cookbook ever) has a pretty detailed section on rinsing or not rinsing different varieties of rice (possibly every variety of rice known to man!), and what the results are like.
I also make rice in the crock pot. I oil the sides lightly, then use 3 cups of water and 2 cups of brown rice. I put it in the crock before work, put it on a Christmas tree timer set to turn on at 2:00 on low, and when I get home at 5:30 or 6 it is perfect. Any longer and it gets a little crispy on the sides, but we usually kind of enjoy that.
I make brown rice in the oven using Alton Brown's recipe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/baked-brown-rice-recipe/index.html
Easy and always perfect.
Both the washed rice and the one knuckle method are used in Indian cooking for polished white rice- the washed rice method works well for everyday fluffy (and yes somewhat less nutritious) white rice. The 'one knuckle' method retains more of the nutrients and flavors. In both cases the attempt is to stop the cooking in the al dente fashion.
The one knuckle technique is used more for a biryani or pilau.
The rice cooker works best on shorter grain rice and brown rice- the shorter grain going stickier and brown rice requiring a longer cook time
Still sounds boring. You could use vegetable chicken, duck, porcini or any other kind of stock to start with instead of plain salty water.
The reason not to do this, is to save energy. For environmental reasons, you should only heat the amount of water, that you are actually gonna use. You are discarding hot water, and keeping rapid a boil without a lid. That is just waste. The 2:1 recipe is perfect, because you only use the exact amount of energy needed to cook the rice.
So if you care about the future of the planet, global warming etc. you should not use the method described in the article.

(Updates with Agility statement in third paragraph.)
Aug. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Agility, the Kuwaiti storage and logistics provider, pleaded not guilty to charges it defrauded the U.S. government on a multibillion-dollar contract to feed troops overseas.
Agility, also known as Public Warehousing Co., denied today in federal court in Atlanta accusations that it filed false invoices or conspired to pay premium prices to inflate its profit. Prosecutors said Agility encouraged companies it did business with to inflate costs through practices such as putting hamburgers in unnecessarily expensive packaging.
"Agility welcomes the opportunity to clear its name by having an impartial jury examine its work," Agility said in a statement. "In bringing this case, the U.S. Department of Justice has criminalized what is, at most, a civil contract dispute."
The estimated cost of the U.S. contract with Agility at the time it was signed was $4.66 billion, according to the November 2009 indictment. The final bill came to $8.6 billion, the government said. Agility bought food and transported it to U.S. soldiers in Kuwait and Iraq, prosecutors said.
The investigation into the company and its suppliers is continuing, federal prosecutors have said. Lawyers for both sides declined to comment after today's hearing.
'Dangerous Conditions'
The case against Agility had been slowed by the company's claim that it wasn't properly notified of the charges it faced in the U.S. Agility recently lost a federal appeals court decision on that issue.
Agility maintains that it was open and transparent with the government, which approved its prices, suppliers and business practices for seven years and continued to do so after the indictment, according to the statement.
"From 2003 to 2010, Agility operated under the most dangerous conditions to provide American troops with plentiful, high-quality food," the company said in its statement. "No military has ever been as well fed in a time of conflict."
The case is U.S. v. Public Warehousing Co., 09-cr-490, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia (Atlanta).
