I. Selection Criterion
The sole criterion for the award is excellence in mentoring. The following are just some of the qualities that can contribute to good mentoring. A candidate need not have all of these qualities to be considered an excellent mentor.
II. Selection Process
Nominators should submit a letter of nomination (not to exceed 2 pages) describing how the nominee has been instrumental in supporting, encouraging and promoting their professional development. Nominators are encouraged to cite as many specific examples as possible. Renominations are encouraged.
Nominators are encouraged to solicit letters in support of the nomination from members of the Observatory who have been directly mentored by the nominee within the last two years. The nominator may also solicit letters of support from persons outside the Observatory who, within the past two years, were mentored by the nominee while in residence at the Observatory. Letters of support should not exceed 2 pages each. Letters of support containing substantive statements about the nominee's mentoring abilities and style (see section I) will be most helpful to the selection committee. Letters of support are not required for full consideration of a nominee, but will likely strengthen his or her case.
All materials will be confidential. The selection committee will evaluate the submitted letters and provide the Observatory Director with a recommendation of one individual to receive the award. All nominees will be recognized at the award ceremony.
III. Eligibility
IV. The Award Selection Committee
The selection committee is composed of 2 members of the LDEO Scientific Staff, 1 Postdoc, 2 Graduate Students, 1 representative from CIESIN, 1 representative from IRI, and award recipients from each of the previous two years. To see this year's committee membership and learn more about the committee's charge, go to the Mentoring Award Committee web site.

Miller and Jansrud pack the Val Gardena / Grieden Super G podium
The clenched fist from HEAD World Cup race manager Rainer Salzgeber said it all as Aksel Lund Svindal came down into third place. This meant that at the end of the best seeds HEAD had four racers in the top four spots. The Saslong Hill is notorious in bringing a later number home to take the spoils and Swiss racer Beat Feuz knocked Bode Miller off the top spot yet still to have four in the top six at the end of the race is a great start to the holiday racing.
Bode Miller explained after the run that he had "made some mistakes on the course and there's not a ton to it. Also, when I went the visibility was pretty bad. If you get a little sun, it can make a huge difference on a course like this. On this particular course you always have to wait until the end because there's guys that can come from the way back and stomp it in." Magnanimous in defeat, Miller applauded Feuz for his victory.
With the start having been lowered by 250 metres due to high winds at the top, the soft snow was a continual hazard for the racers: Didier Cuche admitted that he had strayed off line and knew that he then had to fight to keep the speed going.
More recognised as a Giant Slalom racer, Kjetil Jansrud was delighted with his third place. Talking as the race was unfolding, Jansrud put some emphasis on the early start he had been lucky to get yet felt that he had skied a good run nonetheless. "When I started out racing I always wanted to be considered an all event skier," he said afterwards, "now I guess I am getting there."
With Svindal in fourth and Stephan Keppler in sixth, the results speak for themselves. Keppler, another to benefit from an early start felt that had it not been for a couple of mistakes then he could have been closer in.
Young Austrian Matthias Mayer put in a solid run to score an impressive 18th place in his first visit to Groeden, a hundredth of a second in front of Cuche.
Hans Olsson was pleased with 13th spot and after having won both of the training runs for the downhill; his focus was on getting the best result he could. "I thought the first run was OK and 35 hundredths was not much but was really pleased to win the second run by 1.22seconds. Tomorrow is another day though!"

Can monks (or any class that can equip two weapons) dual wield two unique fist (1-handed) weapons that has the same name?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If the items in question have identical names and the Unique Equipped flag above their required level, then you will only be able to equip one of them, regardless of their stats.
This is in fact true. You can see in this thread:
"To anyone and everyone that hasn't played a monk and found a legendary fist weapon. I have personally found 2 of the same weapon with different stats and the game would not let me equip them both. So there for making this weapon a piece of crap considering the fact that you can not duel wield 2 of the same legendary weapons. "
This is true with weapons, but, while this may seem off topic, it doesn't seem to apply to rings. My friend equipped 2 Bul Kathos wedding bands at the same time.

UNC, Duke await official commitments
One of North Carolina coach Larry Fedora's biggest priorities in recruiting was convincing the top talent in the Tar Heel State to attend UNC.
The results are mixed heading into today's national signing day, which marks the first time that high school seniors can sign a National Letter of Intent to play college football.
Duke, coming off its first bowl game appearance in 18 years, expects to complete a 20-player class for Coach David Cutcliffe that is high on athleticism.
Of the seven players from North Carolina on Rivals' Top 250 national list, just one is expected to sign with the Tar Heels — running back T.J. Logan of Greensboro.
UNC did net a number of three-star players from the state in its 18-player class, including Hillside running back Khris Francis, Raleigh Wakefield wide receiver Jordan Fieulleteau, Albemarle offensive lineman R.J. Prince, and three defensive backs — Desmond Lawrence and Brian Walker, both out of Charlotte, and Hillside's Korrin Wiggins, who committed to UNC a year ago but has since reopened his recruitment.
Logan, who ran for a state-record 510 yards and a championship game-record eight touchdowns for Northern Guilford this past season, is one of two Rivals four-star recruits for UNC, who also added defensive tackle Greg Webb from Sicklerville, N.J.
Webb stuck with the Tar Heels despite the fact that his two primary recruiters, defensive line coach Deke Adams and special teams coordinator David Duggan, both left UNC for other jobs. Adams now is the defensive line coach at Clemson, while Duggan is the defensive coordinator at Southern Miss.
Francis, Fieulleteau, Prince and Mitch Trubisky, a dual-threat quarterback who won Ohio's Mr. Football award for the state's best player, enrolled at UNC in January.
Four players in Duke's recruiting class already have enrolled for the spring semester. Cornerbacks Quay Mann of Northern Nash High School and Evrett Edwards of Woodbridge, Va., linebacker Dominic McDonald of Altamonte Springs, Fla., and quarterback Parker Boehme of Jacksonville, Fla., have been enrolled for almost a month.
Today, the Blue Devils are set to add 16 more players who have offered commitments. Five of the players are defensive backs, including safety Jake Kite of Roanoke, Va., and cornerbacks Bryon Fields of Charlotte's Providence Day School, Breon Borders of Statesville, Chris Holmes of Fredericksburg, Va., and Phillip Carter of Folsom, Calif.
They will bring Duke's total to seven defensive backs in this year's class, more than one-third of the incoming freshmen.
Holmes was an N.C. State commitment until the Wolfpack fired head coach Tom O'Brien and his staff in late November. He committed to Duke on Dec. 31.
Duke also is loading up on wide receivers with Terrence Alls of Hialeah, Fla., Johnell Barnes of Fort Myers, Fla., and Ryan Smith of Las Vegas set to sign today.
Smith originally committed to New Mexico, where his father, DeAndre, was on the coaching staff. But when DeAndre Smith left to join the Syracuse staff, Ryan Smith reopened his recruitment and committed to Duke on Jan. 23.

Light doesn't have to mean cramped.
Normally, tents are either lightweight or spacious. The North Face Mica FL 2 Tent is the exception to the rule–it's both. The trick is its full mesh main body and lightweight nylon ripstop fly. The mesh main body lets you sleep under the stars without being eaten alive by insects and allows cooling breezes to flow through the tent all night. Amazingly, the just-over-three-pound Mica also boasts a full 38.5 inches of headroom–great for sitting up to read or play cards when the weather isn't cooperating.
- Full mesh body is lightweight and airy
- Ultralight nylon ripstop fly keeps the weight down and the rain off
- DAC Featherlite NSL poles are lightweight and rigid
- Two main poles for lightweight rigidity
- Crossing ridge pole maximizes interior space and provides a dry entrance
- Two doors make it easy to sneak out without disturbing your partner
- Two vestibules for plenty of wet storage space
- 2-person capacity allows you to split carrying
- Unique pole design provides tons of headroom without adding a ton of weight
- Trail weight of just over 3 pounds for ultralight hiking
- High-low ventilation provides increased airflow with fly in place
- Fast pitch option weighs just 2.5 pounds
- Hubbed poles and color-coded webbing for fast, easy setup
- Multiple stake types included for different types of soil

Is a footprint required or is the tent's floor robust/waterproof enough on it's own to withstand severe wet weather? Does it have a bathtub type floor? And description or relevant experiences with the floor would be great. Thanks!
mark burnett
A footprint is not required, but highly recommended for any tent to avoid having water seep into it through the floor of the tent being that it is nylon and not a plastic or waterproof material.

Any thoughts on how the lightweight materials hold up to heavy sustained rain and wet muddy ground? I've had mixed luck with lightweight tents standing up to New England weather. Am I better off with a heavier but burlier option? If so what would you recommend?
Terran Siladi
I have a similarly lightweight tent from Mountain Hardware that I used fairly extensively around Maine and New Hampshire for a few years. Now I haven't personally used this tent at all so if it's poorly constructed then what i say doesn't matter, but in general I found the lightweight materials hold up fine. Weather isn't generally that extreme in New England, especially if you pick a good camping spot (usually easy with all the hills and trees around). Good luck!

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This tent will be awesome for backpacking. Very excited to use it and I love the all mesh top so it will feel like we are sleeping under the stars.

what is "packed weight" and what is Trail Weight?
Thomas Gappmayer
Packed weight refers to everything that comes with the tent--accessory bags, poles, stakes, fly, body, etc. Trail weight only refers to the absolute minimum needed to pitch the tent--typically, the body, fly, and poles are all that is included in the trail weight.
Anyone know how it does with condensation?...
Anyone know how it does with condensation?
Micah Lewkowitz
The Mica FL is a full mesh body so it breathes extremely well and the double-wall style allows moisture to exit easily. This tent is designed to be a lightweight and breathable 3-season tent, so condensation won't be a major issue in most weather conditions. The lightweight PU coated nylon fly will condense in heavy rain, but your breathability won't be compromised and it won't drip or rub off on your sleeping bag due to the double wall design w/ No-see-um mesh.
Evan Grott
Hey Adam, i have had some condensation on this tent when sleeping in the higher alpine areas, but honestly it probably could have been avoided if i had properly staked the fly. It was easy enough to give a quick shake and dried in the sun in the time it took us to eat some breakfast before heading on.
Evan Grott
Best 2 man backpacking tent ever?
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
If you are looking for a tent that has a bit more room than the typical 2 man backpacking tent but dont want all the extra weight this is the tent to get. with the 2 door 2 vestibule design it allows you and your partner to have their own space for gear and allows easy entrance and exit to the tent. It's a "freestanding" tent it has one pole making it very light weight as well as offering a fast pitch option allowing you to remove the body of the tent and set it up with just fly and footprint making it around a 2lb tent. which is ideal. The only downfall is that the two bottom corners of the tent will need to be staked out but i have yet to run into the problem of not being able to do this, rocks seem to work and i have also heard of people just using a trekking pole
Evan Grott
Kings Peak Trip
So i have had this tent the whole summer and it has been hands down on of the best tents i've owned/used to date. I ended up purchasing the footprint to have the ability to use the fast pitch option. I have always wondered how this fast pitch option would work in storms and i got to experience that first hand with hail, rain and winds of 45-50 mph and was quite pleased with how it handled it all below is a small video of our trip, the double vestibule really adds the extra space to make things a bit more comfortable. Unfortunately we were not able to summit, but the experience was well worth it and it made for some good storm watching
It says the tent is freestanding, but it...
It says the tent is freestanding, but it appears at one end there is only a single pole in the middle (right side of picture above). Is this truly a freestanding tent?
Phil Maher
So-so. It will stand on its own because of the three points of contact (tripods are stable), but you'll definitely have to fix the brow pole and stake the corners to make it what you would expect a "freestanding" tent to do in the way of taking its final form.
Is a matched groundsheet available?

Practice! Sometimes it helps to do a few dry runs with the hood up to keep it straight. When I was a newbie I got a big thick plate and just burned it back and forth trying to keel it straight. Learning to watch the puddle but also the things around the puddle during the weld.
Good luck!MillerMatic 251

could be your lens, I have a cheepo I can't see thru. the cheater is a good option or just some department store reading glasses.
if you have light entering from the back of your hood it can cause a reflective glare and cause problems. you'll need to see to keep straight and even then practice like they say a lot.
I read somewhere where a strong light on your work can help, been meaning to try that with very low amp Tig welding.
make sure your not blocking you line of sight with your hands or rod.
the dry runs mentioned is always good and lets you see how soon you will run out of position before you start. focus on running the puddle dead center of your mark when u get seeing fixed.
maybe try some small circles or weaves so your actually controlling the rod instead of being stiff and trying to just hold it all in one line. kind of like holding the steering wheel, if your stiff and tight you'll run out of the road,,, if loose and moving it your continually correcting and staying in the road.
Newbie here, I can't see where I'm going. I don't see my line/mark... what to do ?
My son complained about the same thing when he started. I just put my halogen work light to the side and light up his workpiece like times square. He no longer complains about not seeing anything, it's just how darn hot the lights are.
Main thing is to get nice(not expensive) equipment, maintain it and burn burn burn. Btw, with your #9 shade be careful using higher amps. If you stop after a rod or three and you see white spots after you blink you will need a darker lens. Lowes has a variable shade auto darkening hood with a 3yr warranty for $85. It's a good hood for the money and you can lighten or darken it up as much as you need.
Good luck Herb!!!

all right thanks guy for your help
-regarding cheaters, what magnification do you recommand ? ( btw I didn`t know a cheater exists)... I do wear my prescription glasses when i weld
- yes there was light coming from the back of my mask, as I was practicing outide. I will try to block the light with a rag or someting
- to protect my new shade to come from the splatters, do you know if there is something cheap and easy to find I could put in front, other than glass or what they sell at the welding supplier store. like something I could find easely at a hardware store or dollar store. I am cheap plus I have to mail order most of the stuff....
off topic now, I welded 6011 and 7013 with the stick in the negatif yesterday. last night I saw a video where the teacher said use the stick in the positif. of course,I will try that later this week. just curious...do you think it will be much different or maybe easier to weld ( not to see the line) ?and my vertical welds were prettty horrible ,
all right thank you again.

Try drawing your target line and also a parallel line about a quarter to half inch away. Having the second line should help you relate to what's going on. An alternative would be to use a suitable straight edge and grind a slight groove to follow. The ground line shows up better and doesn't burn off.

be careful using a rag. I used a towel to block light when I started out. The towel caught on fire one day. Talk about being a hot head. Now I use leather to completely block all light coming in from the back of the helmet. Works really good when you have a light source or reflective surfaces behind you (white walls, sheetmetal walls, etc).
Take a look at this:
I got one of these, works pretty good. Had to sew additional leather on it to make it longer/wider. Blocks all light coming in front behind now. Can see a joint using a fixed 12 shade.
I live in the US. Had to order one from Austrialia. Took about 2 weeks to get here.
Hood time and bury your face in there! Or you can practice on thick plate and start on the edge so all your follow up passes will be up against a straight line. Oh and dont start if you've been drinking beer all day lol.

The Evacuation
I got him out of there unscathed, thank the downtown gods
by Robert Loest
I was rusty. It had been almost a year since I'd had to do a nighttime emergency evac. We were always ready, of course. My baby was fully fueled, the mechanics had just gone over every inch for the frequent, periodic maintenance, and I was ready to roll at a moment's notice.
The problem was, I'd been partying after a harder than normal week dodging bogies and trying to survive in enemy territory. It was a tough business. My buddies and I were well into several bottles of wine, recounting the close calls we'd had during the week and congratulating ourselves for not losing anyone, when the screen lit up. An emergency distress call was coming in over the special frequency.
A member of the team was having mechanical problems, and had been forced to ditch it deep in enemy territory after dark. We told him to hang on, we'd be there as fast as we could hit the ramp. I volunteered to go out after him, since I'd arrived late and had less to drink than the rest.
He gave me the coordinates and I blasted out of there in silent mode, winding up her engines, nighttime vision screen up, dodging the much larger, faster enemy bogies that seemed to come from out of nowhere. Nighttime seemed to bring out the worst in them. I homed in on my buddy, hoping it wasn't too late.
I didn't know how long he could survive out there. He was smart, tough and scrappy, and an experienced outdoorsman, but that might not be enough. He was in pretty deep. Just half an hour further east on max cruise speed and he'd have been out of danger, but he hadn't made it.
We all carried an emergency kit, of course, with orange camouflage, local shopping coupons and other items to help us blend in, but sometimes it wasn't enough. You had to know where to go, how to speak, be able to mimic their behavioral peculiarities and know how to dress. Foreign cultures can be pretty hard when you aren't trained in them and haven't lived there.
I throttled down, searching for him, coasting and dodging, stealth mode on, interior lights doused to preserve my night vision. The coordinates on the screen told me I was right on top of him, but I couldn't locate him. I sent out a narrow band query. He was still safe, but laying low.
There! He was signaling up ahead! I rolled over and coasted in fast for the extraction. He jumped in while I was still moving, carrying with him the stuff he didn't want to fall into enemy hands. I hit the throttle, and we screamed away on full thrusters and back toward home base.
It was close. There's nothing on Earth more dangerous than mechanical problems in the suburbs on a Friday night, but we made it back from Lovell Road & I-40 to downtown Knoxville safely once again.
We'd have another tale to add that night, of the adrenaline rush of danger and close calls. It was good to be back, and share a glass among friends who understood.
The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice. —Gandhi

Born in 12th hour, he's 12 on 12th in '12
His parents didn't think too much about this day when he was born 12 years ago on Dec. 12, 2000.
It wasn't until last year's birthday that his mom, Sharon, began looking ahead and realized that his 12th birthday would arrive on 12/12/12.
It's the perfect day to celebrate for a boy who was also born in the 12th hour - 12:50 p.m. to be exact.
Aaron never thought of 12 as his lucky number before this day arrived.
"I do now," he said as he took a break from his fifth-grade classes at Ellis School to talk about the number 12.
The Fremont boy isn't the only New Hampshire-born kid celebrating 12th birthdays today.
According to the state's Division of Vital Records Administration, 56 babies were born in New Hampshire hospitals on Dec. 12, 2000.
"There are a lot of 12s," Aaron's mother said.
After today, it'll take 88 years before all the numbers in the day, month, and year are the same, 01/01/01. Dates like 07/07/07, 10/10/10 and 11/11/11 are long gone now.
So with his big day here, how does Aaron plan to celebrate? Surprisingly, he's decided not to invite 12 friends over to eat up a dozen birthday cupcakes.
"I just want to have my family," he said.
That includes his parents and older sisters, Nicole Sherborne, Kelley Langdon, and Jill Rogers. His older brother Derek lives in Texas and won't be able to make it.
Aaron is an easy kid to please and never asks for much. He told his parents that he wants shepherd's pie for his birthday dinner with chocolate cake for dessert.
"I'm not a greedy kid," he said.
Hard to believe he didn't want ambrosia salad for dessert. After all, 12/12/12 is National Ambrosia Day.
Aaron couldn't think of anything he'd like for a birthday gift to mark the milestone. He said he's not into iPods and stuff like that, but he has taken an interest in the piano and hopes his parents can find him a local piano teacher so he can take lessons.
Aaron doesn't know it yet, but his parents have planned a birthday bash during the week of Christmas.
"Having a birthday land on a date like this is very unusual, so his mother and I set out a couple of weeks ago planning a very special day for our very special boy, complete with the numeral 12," said his father, Richard.
Aaron has talked a little bit about his birthday with his friends. "They're glad and a little jealous, maybe," he said. A girl in his class shares the same birthday, but she's only turning 11 this year, he said.
While the number 12 is a big one for Aaron, he has no plans to pick that number when he's old enough to play the lottery.
"My dad says it's just a waste of money," he said.
Twelve-year-olds aren't the only ones celebrating today. Some couples have also chosen to tie the knot, but New Hampshire wedding planners say 12/12/12 is not as popular as other dates in recent years.
"We've had a few, but it's not as big as your 07/07/07," said Renee Fortin of Modern Bride and Formal Shop in Bedford.
Since we're talking numbers, it's important to note that at age 12, Aaron is also an uncle to 10-month-old Sienna Rogers and 8-month-old Nolan Langdon. He'll be an uncle again in February. The due date is Feb. 4, but with any luck, the baby will arrive on Feb. 12 at 12:12 p.m.
Time will tell, and with any luck, the world won't end on 12/22/12.

Posted 12 September 2012 - 04:02 AM
NEW YORK, NY and ENGLEWOOD, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/12/12 --
Beck's 24-hour News, Information and Entertainment Network Extends To Television Starting with DISH on Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. EDT on channel 212
TheBlaze Continues its Rapid Growth -- Original Content Grew the Network into One of the World's Most Subscribed-to Online Streaming Networks in Just One Year

TheBlaze Inc. and DISH Network, LLC announced today that TheBlaze, Glenn Beck's online 24-hour news, information and entertainment network will now be available on television starting, at launch, exclusively on DISH.
TheBlaze joins DISH's selection of news and commentary programming representing all points on the political spectrum, including MSNBC, BBC America, CNN, Current, Comedy Central and FOX News.
The online network launched a year ago today as GBTV and quickly grew into one of the world's largest online streaming networks. TheBlaze will be available to DISH viewers on channel 212 as part of DISH's America's Top 250 package or a la carte for $5 a month. The channel launches today at 5 p.m. EDT and customers can order a la carte starting tomorrow. TheBlaze will be available as a free preview for all DISH customers through Sept. 26.

"With Glenn's return, DISH is truly the one stop for news, opinion and perspective across the full political spectrum."
Beck said: "TheBlaze has helped revolutionize television over the Internet and now we are excited to bring the revolution back to traditional television. TheBlaze will be home to news, information and entertainment programming with the facts and stories people care about most and we look forward to kicking things off with DISH."

Led by Balfe, TheBlaze's executive team brings years of experience from leadership level positions in television and media.
Joel Cheatwood, President & Chief Content Officer of TheBlaze, was a Senior Vice President at FoxNews and CNN and oversees programming.
Lynne Costantini, former EVP of Affiliate Sales and Marketing at Scripps Networks Interactive and SVP of Programming at Time Warner Cable, Inc. leads the distribution strategy for TheBlaze in a consulting capacity. Costantini negotiated TheBlaze's relationship with DISH and will do the same with other distributors.
Kraig Kitchin, President & Chief Revenue Officer, co-founded Premiere Radio Networks -- the top radio network in the country and the distributor of Glenn's radio show. He will continue to grow the network's strong advertising base and deep relationships with advertisers.
Betsy Morgan, President & Chief Strategy Officer, was CEO of The Huffington Post and a Senior Vice President at CBS News and oversees strategy for the network.
Carolyn Polke, President & Chief Operating Officer of TheBlaze, will continue to spearhead the network's rapid growth in digital media.

They don't have AMC, but they'll add something like this? And note, I'm not opining on his political content, simply that he will, at the outset, probably have pretty low viewership. They must be getting this cheap/free.
That's what they said about Fox News, which has turned into a juggernaut.

I'd rather watch the Test Pattern Channel.
I think that people will get more content and information out of the test pattern channel.... But, the few times I watched this character before he got fired from Fox, he was funny with his chalk board in a 'head shaking way'...

but the Test Pattern Channel costs too much for Dish to pick it up.

For the record (again) Glenn Beck left FOX News Channel on his own accord. He was not "fired" He wanted to do his own thing without having network bigwigs telling him what he can and can't say. Love him or hate him more power to him!
I think that people will get more content and information out of the test pattern channel.... But, the few times I watched this character before he got fired from Fox, he was funny with his chalk board in a 'head shaking way'...

Divisions/Entry Fees:
Recreational - $20
Intermediate - $30
Advanced - $30
Open - $40
Notes about Divisions
1 - Fees shown are for events 1-3; the PDGA event will have a flat entry fee
2 - All amateur divisions paid in plastic
3 - These entry fees include a $5 donation to the course fund; remainder will be paid out close to 100%.
4 - Does not include optional $5 in CTPs/Ace Fund
5 - Rec will play short tees always. Int, Adv & Open will play long tees always.
Next event is December 30th. Format is likely to change after the low turnout to simplify things a bit, especially since it's on another holiday weekend; either 2 rounds of singles or maybe just one round of singles. But there will definitely be an event on the 30th.

It isnt like one side has a 100% foul proof solution and the other side is just stupid for not implementing it. If there was, the economy wouldnt have tanked under a Republican.

It is the little changes that make things better. The devil is in the details, and when it comes to customizing some of the Web's most popular tools, you can often make them better by combining some of the little changes out there. Here are seven easy ways you can easily make Firefox a better browser – or at least the popular web site tools covered that you visit the most.
Better Amazon – The Better Amazon add-on for Firefox highlights listings with free shipping, enlarges product images, cleans up book pages, shortens URLS and more on Amazon.com. One of the best Amazon.com enhancers for your browser.
Better Flickr – A great complication of Greasemonkey scripts to make Flickr better for your average user. You have the Flickr buddy icon reply, more user links, photo magnifier, page enhancer and a more feature rich editor.
Better GCal – The Better GCal add-on for Firefox is a favorite of mine. It allows you to collapse the header and sidebar, wraps event titles, color weekend days, give week numbers and even a few skins too. Google Calendar never looked so good!
Better Gmail 2 – A handful more of useful features you can add to your Google-powered e-mail client. Here you have all kinds of useful additions, from macros to attachment icons. You even have a few more skin choices and hierarchical labels. Also don't forget the first one, if your not yet rolled over to "Gmail 2".
Better GReader – Add a few more popular Greasemonkey scripts into your Google Reader. You can preview web pages inline in Google Reader, collapse the header and sidebar, get a Mac OS X like skin, add favicons and tons more.
Better YouTube – Enhances YouTube with Greasemonkey user scripts, that offer options like the FlowPlayer "doesn't start till you hit play" viewer, clean "theater" view, and links to download the video automatically.
Better Lifehacker – I am a BIG fan of Lifehacker, so why not make them "better" too? This extension enhances Lifehacker.com and other Gawker blogs–like Gizmodo, io9 Jezebel, Valleywag, Gawker, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Defamer–with useful Greasemonkey scripts.
Which is your favorite "Better" add-on for Firefox or which area of the Web would you like to see Gina cover next?

Immigrants from South America made up 2.7 million (about 7 percent) of the United States' foreign-born population of 40.4 million in 2011. While the share may seem small, this population has grown 30 times its size since 1960, when about 90,000 South American immigrants resided in the country. This article examines the latest data on South American immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigration has contributed to many of the economic, social, and political processes that are foundational to the United States as a nation since the first newcomers arrived over 400 years ago. After brushes with immigration reform that began in 2001 and continued in 2006 and 2007, the United States seems to be on the threshold of overhauling the legal immigration system in the most substantive way since 1965. This article provides a comprehensive overview of major legislation and events affecting U.S. immigration throughout history, legal and illegal immigration flows, postrecession immigration trends, and more.
Since 1990, the number of Central American immigrants in the United States has nearly tripled. This immigrant population grew faster than any other region-of-origin population from Latin America between 2000 and 2010. This article focuses on a wide range of characteristics of Central American immigrants residing in the United States, including the population's size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Over the past five decades, Mexicans have constituted the single largest group of immigrants to the United States originating from Latin America. In 2011, 11.7 million Mexican immigrants resided in the United States, representing 29 percent of the U.S. immigrant population and close to 4 percent of the overall U.S. population. This article examines the latest data on Mexican immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigrants accounted for 16 percent of the 58.8 million college-educated persons in the United States in 2011, with one in three immigrants holding a college degree.

With the ten year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks approaching, the Migration Policy Institute held a conference call to discuss the most significant changes that have occurred in the immigration arena in the decade since the attacks.
Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) has accelerated in the last four decades. This increase has been driven by economic opportunities and facilitated by social networks of friends and family already in the United States.
This fact sheet details the policy, programmatic, budget, and manpower changes that have happened in the immigration arena as an outgrowth of the 9/11 attacks.
The United States has historically offered unparalleled economic opportunity to successive generations of immigrants and their children, poised to play an increasing role in the U.S. economy. But the lasting impact of job loss and slower growth over the next decade will translate into fewer opportunities for workers—and immigrants may prove the most vulnerable.
European dominance in U.S. immigration flows has decreased significantly since World War II, a result of economic, demographic, and policy trends on both sides of the Atlantic. Today, migration from European Union Member States to the United States, while small, is characterized by a substantial numbers of European scientists, professionals, and businesspeople.
This edited volume addresses the impact of the economic crisis in seven major immigrant-receiving countries: the United States, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
This report explores the migration patterns and demographics of Black African immigrants in the United States, examining their admission channels, human-capital characteristics, and labor market performance. The authors also provide an analysis of these immigrants' integration prospects.

The talent line up for George Jones' tribute concert — originally planned as the Country Music Hall of Famer's final concert in his farewell tour — continues to grow.
On Tuesday, Jones' widow Nancy Jones revealed even more celebrities who are set to appear at the sold-out Nov. 22 concert at Bridgestone Arena, now entitled "Playin' Possum! The Final NO Show."
Jones, who struggled with alcohol abuse and earned a reputation over a period in his career for not showing up at his concerts, died in April at age 81.
New celebrities added to the list are Brad Paisley, Martina McBride, Big & Rich, Loretta Lynn, Lee Ann Womack, Craig Morgan, Thompson Square, Ronnie Milsap, Bill Anderson and rockers Megadeth. Previously announced performers include Kid Rock, George Strait, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Reba McEntire, Alabama, Travis Tritt, Tanya Tucker, Josh Turner, The Oak Ridge Boys, Charlie Daniels, Jamey Johnson and others.
"The evening of George Jones songs is going to be the best musical tribute Nashville has ever seen," Nancy Jones said in a statement. "We have many surprises planned, and I just wish George could be here to see what we are doing for him."

I'm brewing an IPA that calls for the addition of hops when I rack to secondary. I have pelletized hops still sealed in their plastic packaging and I'm wondering if they can be added to the secondary directly or if anything needs to be done to them first from a sanitation standpoint?

Homebrewing Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for dedicated home brewers and serious enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You don't need to do anything to sanitize the hops. By the time your beer is going into a secondary, the alcohol and pH make it very resistant to infections. Just make sure to use a fine mesh bag. I didn't do that during my first attempt at dry hopping and it was almost impossible to get all of the hop particles out of the finished beer :)
Nope, add them directly. Hops are supposedly antibacterial. In addition, the alcohol content and low pH of the beer makes it resistant to infection at this point.

89588 :
Islet Antigen 2 (IA-2) Antibody, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Islet cell autoantibodies have been known to be associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus for 36 years. In recent years, several autoantigens against which islet antibodies are directed have been identified. These include the tyrosine phosphatase-related islet antigen 2 (IA-2), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65, the zinc transporter ZnT8, and insulin. One or more of these autoantibodies are detected in 96% of patients with type 1 diabetes, and are detectable before clinical onset, as well as in symptomatic individuals. A serological study of 50 type 1 diabetics and 50 control subjects conducted simultaneously across 43 laboratories in 16 countries demonstrated a median sensitivity of 57% and a median specificity of 99% for IA-2 antibody in type 1 diabetes. Prospective studies in relatives of patients with type 1 diabetes have shown that development of 1 or more islet autoantibodies (including IA-2 antibody) provides an early marker of progression to type 1 diabetes. Autoantibody profiles identifying patients destined to develop type 1 diabetes are usually detectable before age 3. In 1 study of relatives seropositive for IA-2 antibody, the risk of developing type 1 diabetes within 5 years was 65.3%. Some patients with type 1 diabetes are initially diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes because of symptom onset in adulthood, societal obesity, and initial insulin-independence. These patients with "latent autoimmune diabetes in adulthood" may be distinguished from those patients with type 2 diabetes by detection of 1 or more islet autoantibodies (including IA-2).
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Clinical distinction of type 1 from type 2 diabetes mellitus
Identification of individuals at risk of type 1 diabetes (including high-risk relatives of patients with diabetes)
Prediction of future need for insulin treatment in adult-onset diabetic patients
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Seropositivity for IA-2 autoantibody (> 0.02 nmol/L) is supportive of:
-A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes
-A high risk for future development of diabetes
-A current or future need for insulin therapy in patients with diabetes
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Negative results do not exclude the diagnosis of or future risk for type 1 diabetes mellitus. The risk of developing type 1 diabetes may be stratified further by testing for: 1) antibodies targeting insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) and 2) HLA genetic markers. Careful monitoring of hyperglycemia is the mainstay of determining the requirement for insulin therapy.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
< or =0.02 nmol/L
Reference values apply to all ages.

New Boston readies for taste of Civil War life
NEW BOSTON - As a year-long celebration of New Boston's 250th Anniversary continues, the Civil War will come home to New Hampshire in two special events.
Author and historian Steve Bunker will present a talk called, "The Civil War," on May 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the New Boston Historical Society Building.
Then on Friday, May 10, Civil War re-enactors will begin a three-day "Living History" presentation, taking over the ball field behind town hall and setting up camp for the weekend.
According to Dick Moody, president of the New Boston Historical Society, the encampment of Civil War era characters will features members of the 1st New Hampshire Calvary, 6th New Hampshire Infantry, and 5th Massachusetts Battery, three groups of soldiers from the Granite State who left home to fight the war between the states.
Moody, who has participated in many historical re-enactments himself and was cast as an extra in the movie, "The Patriot," said the encampment will give visitors a sense of what life was like in the 1860s.
There will be demonstrations and presentations, coffee and chats around campfires, horses, and militaria harkening back to the 19th century. Participants will spend their nights sleeping in canvas tents and living the simple life - except during re-enactments of battles.
May also brings more art to New Boston as part of the 250th celebration. On May 18, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the New Boston Community Church and the Whipple Free Library, an art festival will take place featuring local artists of all ages. A silent auction will be held, and children will be entertained by storyteller Kate Fitzpatrick.
Then at 7 p.m. at the Community Church, a coffee house will feature New Boston entertainers performing live music throughout the evening and the silent auction winners will be announced.
And on May 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the New Boston Central School, students will celebrate a week spent with artist-in-residence Emile Birch, who will unveil a sculpture created during the visit.

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Driving onto the Airfield at an Air Force base can be a daunting process for any Airman.
There are so many things that need to be remembered to be safe. Drivers must ensure they conduct roll over foreign object debris checks at all FOD points, stay back 200 feet from taxiing aircraft, ensure they're not crossing hold line and performing many other checks procedures.
"Flightline driving isn't any different from regular driving," said Airman 1st Class Floyd Jones Jr., 57th Operation Support Squadron airfield management operations coordinator. "You are required to have your state and GOV driver's license and restricted area badge before you're able to get a flightline driver's license. Then, you have to go through training and understand the procedures, such as performing FOD checks or calling up to the tower before crossing the runways. Those are things you need to know before getting your flightline drivers license, and while you're on the flightline."
The tasks may be daunting, but ensuring they're done right can potentially save millions in Air Force assets and save lives.
"It's very essential," Jones said. "Safety procedures and precautions are important, because it only takes that one little pebble getting sucked into an Aircraft to have serious issues."
Airmen preparing for flightline driving must take computer based training, have a current flightline access badge and Air Force form 483 flightline driving competency card. Drivers on the airfield must be aware of their airfields specific requirements also.
"For airfield driving the final say is Airfield Management," Jones said. "Security Forces is out there for security reasons, for the aircraft and if Airfield Management needs assistance, but at the end of the day it ultimately comes down to Airfield Management flightline driving policies. If drivers are on the Airfield without a 483, then they're will be escorted off. It doesn't matter who it is, if you don't have a 483, you're not qualified to be driving on Airfield and driving. You will be escorted off the flightline."
Construction on the airfield may provide extra concerns for the flightline drivers, aircraft and Airfield Management Airmen. Flightline drivers are responsible for informing Airfield Management for violations they see on the flightline.
"If you see FOD caused by construction, on the flightline, that's something we need to know about, so we can respond," Jones said. "If construction is causing FOD to get onto the runway, apron or the taxi ways and if it gets into the Aircraft it could be potentially dangerous."
Every person on the flightline is responsible for what happens on it, Jones said.
"We must have the integrity to do things and do them right," Jones said. "Airmen out there doing FOD checks must conduct roll over FOD checks. I see a lot of people out there doing FOD checks, but they're not doing roll over FOD checks. CMA violations are also a concerns. It's something that can be controlled through training, integrity and situational awareness. If we all do our part we can continue to provide a safe airfield environment."

Gamma Knife
Gamma Knife radiosurgery, also called stereotactic radiosurgery, is a very precise form of therapeutic radiology. Even though it is called surgery, a Gamma Knife procedure does not involve actual surgery, nor is the Gamma Knife a knife. It uses beams of highly-focused gamma rays to treat small- to medium-size lesions, usually in the brain. Many beams of gamma radiation join to focus on the lesion under treatment, providing a very intense dose of radiation without a surgical incision or opening.
Treatable Conditions
Gamma Knife treatment is an option for patients with many conditions, such as those below. It may also be used along with conventional surgery, chemotherapy, or other radiation treatments.
|Functional Disorders
|Malignant Brain Tumors
|Benign Brain Tumors
|Vascular Disorders
How it Works
Not an actual knife, the Leksell Gamma Knife is an incredibly precise computerized instrument that aims rays of radiation (gamma rays) at brain abnormalities and tumors. It is proven safe and extremely effective.
The Gamma Knife is revolutionary because it focuses a halo of up to 201 individual rays on the target problem, even a target of pinpoint size. Each gamma ray by itself is weak and harmless. But together the focused rays converge with power and precision. A single beam hits the lesion or tumor. Surrounding healthy tissue is spared. The radiation works over time to eliminate or slow the growth or abnormality.
How is the Gamma Knife so precise? A key element is the patented head frame that aims radiation beams with extraordinary accuracy. Using breakthrough science, this frame interfaces seamlessly with MRI, CT scan, or angiography images of your brain. Sophisticated 3D computerization allows our physicians to map the target's size, shape, and location and to calculate exact gamma ray patterns and dosages no matter how irregular the target. Each person's treatment plan is unique.
Increased Safety
Because Gamma Knife surgery is noninvasive and does not require anesthesia, the risk of infection, post-operative hemorrhage, and other complications is minimal. The procedure requires only a small amount of local anesthesia for the head-frame fitting. Most patients receive light sedation to relax.
Outpatient Procedure, Fast Recovery
Gamma Knife surgery is one-day, usually outpatient treatment. Occasionally a patient may stay overnight for observation. Most patients return to pre-treatment activities, including work, 24-48 hours later. Usually no physical therapy or rehabilitation is needed. For all of these reasons, radiosurgery is an extremely cost-effective treatment.
Documented outcomes prove the treatment's safety and effectiveness. Clinical studies show that in comparison to other procedures, Gamma Knife radiosurgery typically results in higher success rates, a significantly lower incidence of recurrence of tumors, and reduced risk of serious side effects.

War, Action/Adventure, Drama
AD 117: The Roman Empire stretches from Egypt to Spain, and East as far as the Black Sea. But in northern Britain, the relentless onslaught of conquest has ground to a halt in face of the guerrilla tactics of an elusive enemy: the savage and terrifying tribes known as the Picts. Quintus, sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader Gorlacon. But, when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines.

ICBA Signs Agreement with FDIC for Money Smart for Small Businesses Program
Washington, D.C. (December 19, 2012)–The Independent Community Bankers of America announced today that the association has signed an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to promote its Money Smart for Small Business financial education program, which helps teach entrepreneurs the basics of organizing and managing a business. As part of the agreement, ICBA will continue to make its members aware of this free program—furthering ICBA's commitment to financial literacy among community bank customers.
"The Money Smart for Small Business financial program is yet another tool that community bankers can offer their small business customers to help them successfully manage their business," said Terry Jorde, ICBA senior executive vice president and chief of staff. "Community banks continue to be prolific small business lenders, with banks under $10 billion making about 60 percent of all small business loans under $100,000, so having additional resources for our customers is a win-win. We thank the FDIC for considering the needs of small business owners and creating this program specifically for them."
FDIC's Money Smart for Small Business program is a complimentary educational program designed to help educate new or existing small business owners. Money Smart has 10 training modules, including tax planning and reporting, banking services available for small businesses and financial management, and it is available in Spanish.
ICBA has been using Money Smart and involved with FDIC's program since November 2002.
