From U.S. Office of Personnel Management:
How Federal Hiring Reform
Will Affect the Application Process
President Obama signed a memorandum in May 2010 directing the Office of Personnel Management and other federal agencies to take measures to reform federal hiring procedures. Specifically, federal hiring reform will:
- eliminate the requirement to complete short written essays about your knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs);
- allow you to apply with a résumé and cover letter;
- improve the quality and speed of hiring; and
- notify you about your status after submitting your application.
Want USAJobs.gov to send you an email whenever a job vacancy is posted?
Here's how:
- Sign in to USAJobs.gov or create an account. Once you have done that...
- Go to USAJobs's Create a New Saved Search page.
- Scroll down to "Agency Search"
- Select "Other Agencies and Independent Organizations" at the very bottom of the list of agencies.
- Under "Then sub agency" select "Environmental Protection Agency" then click on "Add >>"
- If you want to narrow your search at this point, select location, salary range, occupational series, etc.
- Be sure to give your search a name (bottom of the page).
- Under "How often do you want to Receive E-mail Notifications?", consider checking "Daily" since many positions may only be open for two weeks.
- Then click on "Save Search" at the bottom of the page.

How do I begin my search for EPA jobs? You can view a list of jobs currently open on our Current Job Openings page. If you'd prefer to see a list of current openings on the USAJobs website,
- Go to EPA's page on USAJobs at epa.usajobs.gov.
- Ignore the "What" and "Where" boxes; click on "Search Jobs."
- You will see a list of all current EPA job vacancies. Use the content on the left side of the page to narrow your search by job category, grade, salary, and/or posting date.
- If the search results do not return any jobs of interest, new career opportunities are added each week. Note the "Create Saved Search and email me jobs" feature on the left.
USAJobs also provides an Advanced Search feature, which allows you to search by keyword, title, pay grade or salary range, series number, location, agency, occupational series, type of work, and work schedule. The Advanced Search will allow users to narrow search results to specific applicable positions. USAJobs also provides PDF tutorials with information on how to use the Advanced Search and Saved Searches features:
Note that you don't need to create an account in USAJobs.gov just to browse jobs. You will only need to create an account if you want to upload an existing resume, create a new resume, or apply for a specific position.
What information is included in federal job announcements on USAJobs.gov? Each federal job opening on USAJobs includes its own ID number, known as a vacancy announcement number. You must reference it on all of the materials you submit with your application. The listing may also provide the series and grade of pay, promotion potential of a vacant position, geographic location, major duties associated with a position, eligibility of a candidate, and descriptions of what qualifications are needed and how candidates will be evaluated.
How do I know when I can apply? While browsing jobs in USAJobs.gov, you may see the "Open Period" -- the period of time within which you can apply for any given job listing. The Open Period can be as short as three days or can stretch for up to a month for senior-level and hard-to-fill positions. Most staff-level positions are open for two or three weeks. You must submit your application online via USAJobs before the end of the Open Period. Applications for each vacancy must be received by 11:59 PM EST of the announcement closing date. Any required documents must be submitted with your application online. If applying online poses a hardship for you, contact the Human Resources Officer listed on the vacancy announcement at least three days prior to the closing date of the announcement.
How much will I get paid? Each announcement will specify the range of pay. Most EPA employees receive basic pay under the General Schedule (GS) and some receive locality pay. Locality pay is the basic pay, plus an increase designed to address pay comparability between federal and non-federal jobs in the metropolitan area where the job is located.
What are the benefits offered by the federal government? You can learn more about federal government job benefits on these pages:
- USAJobs pay and benefits page
- Office of Personnel Management pages:
- EPA Benefits page
How can I apply if I don't have access to the Internet? If you do not have access to the Internet, you may be able to rely on publicly available resources to access USAJOBS. In most communities, Career One Stop centers and public libraries provide Internet access free of charge. You may be required to register before using these facilities, depending on the policy of the library or One Stop center you are visiting. Find a Career One Stop center in your area.
How do I know if I'm eligible for a particular position? Each job announcement will state who may be considered and who may apply. Look under the "Who May Be Considered", "Qualifications Required" and "Key Requirements" sections of each announcement. In addition, you can review basic qualifying information for federal jobs by visiting the Office of Personnel Management Qualification Standards website.
Are there special hiring processes for certain candidates? Yes:
Some positions may only be open to candidates who have "status" based on current or previous federal employment. Federal employees are usually hired initially as "career-conditional employees," meaning they must work continuously for three years, when they "reach status", gaining career tenure under permanent employment. They are then referred to as "career employees" or "career permanent employees." The first year of a career-conditional appointment is a probationary period, which allows your supervisor to evaluate your performance and fire you without undue formality, if necessary.
Veterans' preference: Learn more on our veterans page.
- Noncompetitive eligibility (NCE): Returning Peace Corps and AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers, Public Health Service Officers, and 30%-or-more-disabled veterans are considered to have a certification of NCE. Candidates are are not guaranteed a job, but EPA and other agencies can hire them outside of a formal competitive announcement process for a vacant position. Under NCE, an agency can hire a returning volunteer who meets the minimum qualifications for the position, without going through all of the formalities of the competitive process (including posting a vacancy announcement, screening or interviewing candidates, or going through the others steps that are involved in the standard recruitment process). All that is required is that the agency has a classified position and an available opening, and that the candidate meet the minimum qualifications for that position.
Note that the ability to be non-competitively hired to a traditionally competitive position lasts for just one year after you have left Peace Corps or AmeriCorps VISTA (in certain cases, the allotted one year time limit can be extended for two more years if you are in military service or decide to pursue a higher educational degree).

Rumors surfaced this summer that noted hipster greaseball photographer Uncle Terry would be making a feature-length documentary film about Lady Gaga, after he followed her peeing, doing yoga, bathing in glitter and what have you on tour for 10 months last year in order to produce 350 pages of glossy hedonism to hawk at Urban Outfitters-es across our great nation.
Gaga admires his aesthetic, which is... let's just say it's not for everyone. ("What I love so much about Terry is that he thinks everything is so beautiful. I'm always, 'Oh Terry, get out of here,' and he's like, 'Oh, it's so beautiful, let me just shoot it.'")
Mother Monster has confirmed on Twitter that, yes, Richardson would be making a movie about her:
Merry Christmas little monsters! Terry Richardson @terry_world is making a #LadyGagaMOVIE documenting my life, the creation of ARTPOP + you!
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) December 25, 2012
i love you @terry_world thank you for believing in me and my fans, I have looked up to you and your work for so long, its a dream come true!
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) December 25, 2012
She also told fans that her fourth studio album, ARTPOP, would be released in the spring. No word on the release date of the documentary, but consider this clip a menacing omen of things to come.

Strong pitching leads VMI over ETSU Baseball, 3-1
Saturday, March 15, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 15, 2003) - For the second consecutive day, East Tennessee State and VMI both had tremendous pitching performances, but unlike Friday night it was the Keydets that came away with a 3-1 victory Saturday afternoon from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. The VMI victory evens the three-game series at one each, and raises the Keydets record to 6-10, 4-1 in the Southern Conference. The Bucs fall to 6-11, 2-3 in SoCon games. ETSU junior lefty Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) and VMI senior righty Phil Hendrix battled all afternoon, but in the end, it was Hendrix that came out on top. Turner and Hendrix breezed through the first two innings, before VMI got on the board in the third. Keydet first baseman Jon Wade singled to lead off the inning. After one out was recorded, designated hitter Brandon Massenburg singled to left, advancing Wade to third. With two outs, catcher Justin Briggs singled to score Wade. The Buccaneers tried to even the game in the bottom of the fifth. Sophomore designated hitter Davis Burklin (Knoxville, Tenn.) led off the inning with his second hit of the afternoon. He was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by junior outfielder Bo Calloway (Knoxville, Tenn.). A walk by freshman outfielder Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) gave the Bucs runners on first and second with just one out. But Hendrix settled down, retiring the next two batters to end the inning. After a quiet sixth frame, the Bucs had a two-out rally in the seventh to tie the game. With two down, Calloway laced a double down the left field line followed by an RBI double by Calicutt. VMI came back in the top of the eighth to score two runs and put the game out of reach. Briggs doubled down the right field line then moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by second baseman Jason Annis. Briggs scored on a triple to right-center by third baseman Kelly Sweppenhiser. After walks by outfielders Ben Rand and Chris Brooks to load the bases, Wade hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring home Sweppenhiser. The inning could have been bigger for the Keydets if not for ETSU sophomore reliever Mike Bauer (Kingsport, Tenn.), who came in with the bases loaded and one out and got a fly out and a ground out on two pitches to end the inning. Two Keydet relievers went the rest of the way as J.J. Hollenbeck pitched the eighth and Jeff DeMara closed out the game in the ninth. Hendrix evened his record at 2-2, pitching seven innings and allowing one run on five hits and striking out six. Turner (1-3) was charged with the loss, allowing three runs on 11 hits while striking out seven in 7.1 innings. DeMara earned his third save of the season by pitching a perfect ninth. "Hendrix was very tough today," said ETSU acting head coach Nate Goulet. "He was throwing three pitches for strikes and he really kept us off-balance. Offensively, we had a lot of opportunities, but we could not get any clutch hits." Buccaneer head coach Tony Skole was suspended for today's game after being thrown out of last night's contest. Burklin led the Bucs at the plate, going 2-for-4 on the afternoon. The Keydets had three players with multiple-hit games led by Briggs, who went 4-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI. Also, Sweppenhiser went 3-for-4 and Wade was 2-for-2. The Bucs and the Keydets will play the final game of a three-game weekend series Sunday at 1 p.m. from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee's (UT) current bus transit system, "The T," will drive its final routes in May before a new bus system takes over in the summer, according to The Daily Beacon.
The new bus system will be named by UT students and tailored to fit the university. For the full story, click here.

As I watched the beginning of "The Abolitionists" Sunday night on PBS, it became particularly striking how similar were the causes of the abolitionists of the 1800s and those of the present day.
Those crusading for the freedom of the black man in 19th-century America were trying to change the law of the land to preserve life and freedom for a segment of mankind who would not be heard. Those today crusading for the abolition of abortion are likewise trying to change the law of the land to preserve life and the freedom to live for a segment of mankind who cannot be heard.
"The Abolitionists" is a three-hour "American Experience" documentary/drama that continued with Part II on Tuesday and ends with Part III this coming Tuesday. It's about the efforts of abolitionist allies Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Brown and Angelina Grimke that, according to the PBS promotional, "turned a despised fringe movement against chattel slavery into a force that literally changed the nation."
It caused me to reflect on the different levels of effort, emotion, strategy, pain and violence that their crusade went through before eventually seeing the law of the land turning to freedom for the black race in this country in Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. And, of course, there were many ensuing decades of adjustment and civil rights battles before freedom for the black man was anything close to what it was for the white man.
So it has been over the last 40 years in this country's civil war over abortion. Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States.
During the years of slavery, many considered African Americans less than human. Thus, brutality was tolerated, even encouraged.
For unborn babies, it is the same. Many in our country, in our world today, consider the unborn less than human. And so abortions are tolerated, even encouraged.
Today it is hard to imagine considering humans of another color or race as any less human than anyone else. Perhaps someday mankind will awaken to truth once again and understand that life includes that tiny human the book of Psalms says God knits together in the womb.
An estimated 55 million unborn children have been victims of abortion since the Supreme Court decision, according to Allen County Right to Life, including more than 30,000 children in Allen County.
Today many hundreds of modern-day abolitionists gathered at the University of Saint Francis to commemorate the 40 years of struggle to end abortion with their 39th annual Fort Wayne March for Life.

In the world of popular music, 2006 seems like a lifetime ago. The King of Pop was still with us, iPods didn't make calls and no one had ever heard the name Lady Gaga.
That was also the year Nashville rockers American Bang — then known as Bang Bang Bang — signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. It was a period full of signings, deals and activity in the Nashville rock scene.
Nearly four years later — after so many of its peers either made it big, broke up or went back to their day jobs — American Bang is finally getting a shot at rock stardom. After numerous business-related delays, the band's self-titled debut album hits stores today. From a creative standpoint, at least, the collection of melodic, hard-driving Southern rock songs was worth the wait.

In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
It is our sincere hope that, above all else, the film can become a focal point for some of the big questions that inevitably arise at the intersection of science and faith.
What does it mean to be human? For the Christian, the answer is complex. In part, it is a reflection of being created in the image of God. But does the science of human evolution pose a threat to that uniqueness?
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the question, "If you take Genesis in a non-literal fashion, especially the creation stories, why take anything in the Bible literally—such as the Gospels? Do you take the Gospels literally?"
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter acknowledges the risk that pastors take when preaching on Genesis—and in particular, when they approach it with an attitude of humility, allowing the possibility that the text was not meant to be understood in literal terms.
By all accounts, my faith should have perished the moment I started asking questions about faith and science. All my life I'd been taught that I had to choose—between believing the Bible and believing my science book, between honoring God and embracing evolution.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
John Walton offers some important reminders in this video with regard to how we should approach a reading of the book of Genesis. While it is a text that is written for us—in the sense that it was written for all people in all times and places—it was not written to us.

1 (16 ounce) package
rotini pasta
1 cup
Italian-style salad dressing
1 cup
creamy Caesar salad dressing
1 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
red bell pepper, diced
green bell pepper, chopped
red onion, diced
This is one of those recipes which allow for as much or as little liberties as you like! I personally love to jazz this Italian pasta salad up with half moon slices of pepperoni, cubed mozzarella and smoked cheddar cheeses, black olives, small pepperoncini peppers, and little grape tomatoes! It could be a meal in itself!
It was OK. Nothing special and I probably wouldn't make it again.
247 Ratings
I really liked this and so did our company. The second time I made it, however, I added a 1/2 cup of Cilantro and some cubed mozzerlla cheese. WOW!!
Excellent pasta salad. Has the perfect amount of zing. I have tried 2 other pasta salad recipes from this site that took alot more prep work & were nowhere near as tasty as this quick & easy recipe. I omitted the green bell pepper because I thought the red one was sufficient. Otherwise I followed recipe to a tee. Thanks for sharing Jeanette.
The caesaritalian dressing mix is what MAKES this salad! I add orange and yellow bell peppers(along with the red and green), and sliced black olives for some real color. Salami chunks are also a tasty addition! Everyone always likes it! Thanks!!!
This pasta salad is great. Everyone I've made it for has loved it. Use the amount of dressing called for.
Tried this for a potluck at work, co-workers loved it and got lots of requests for the recipe. It's so easy to do, I've made this several times and I've added black olives and changed up the pasta, comes out great every time!
This is just the pasta salad I was looking for! I left out the peppers simply because I don't care for them and it was still wonderful! Try adding some shredded parmesan in addition to the grated cheese. Yum! Thanks for this simple and great tasting recipe!

Police state? How brutal our police is. We need less police. Yet you want to fill our schools with the same brutal force of a police state. That makes you a hypocrite, false and a fake.
Government out of our lives yet you want government fund that police force. Hypocrite, false and fake.
You want government out where it benefits you and you want government in where it benefits you. Hypocrite, false and fake.
You want the constitution amended or changed (assuming you support women's right and are against slavery) yet you want it untouched when it comes to the gun rights. Hypocrite, false and a fake.
See, before you run around and call others hypocrites, false, fakes and facades you may want to look at yourself and search if you are so clean and so mighty and above everybody else.

Why bother leaving the house?Posted: 19 December, 2012 Filed under: Arctic, External, Festival, Fields, Geography | Tags: Arctic, Ben Saunders, Canada, exploration, Geography, Glastonbury, Kate Tempest, Poet, Poetry, Polar, Russia, Siberia, TED Leave a comment
I'm always fascinated to discover the reasons why explorers and adventurers do what they do. In November Ben Saunders (@PolarBen) gave a TED Talk in which he described his amazing solo trek across the Arctic (from Siberia to Canada) and explained his main reason for the journey.
"One of the magical things about this journey however is that because I'm walking over the sea, over this floating, drifting, shifting crust of ice that's floating on the surface of the arctic ocean is that it's an environment in a constant state of flux. The ice is always moving, breaking-up, drifting around, re-freezing.. so the scenery that I saw for nearly 3 months was unique to me. No one else will ever, could ever, possibly see the vistas that I saw for 10 weeks and that, I guess, is the finest argument for leaving the house."
Ben's story is inspirational and his reason for leaving the house is certainly captivating, but I'm not convinced that the exclusivity of experience or sole ownership of it are the best reasons to explore. No doubt taking such an extreme trek is geographically (in location, distance, scale, environment and human isolation) beyond what most people would do, but surely no one else will ever, could ever, possibly see the same vistas for any period of time? Growing trees, moving cars, changing window displays, rotating kebabs and dogs running in the park are all always changing and so are our gazes and our opinions. If the finest argument for leaving the house is to have a unique experience, all we have to do is be semi-conscious of the fact our experience is unique. We don't have to travel to the ends of the Earth to have sole ownership of our experiences on it.
That said, I'm curious about the reasons why, as a tourist, traveller, explorer or simply someone bothering to leave the house, I enjoy a place or event because I'm the only one who has experienced it compared to experiences that are, to some degree, shared. When does sharing heighten, intensify or improve and when does it dilute, obstruct and corrupt? Clearly is depends entirely on the situation.
I enjoy the music festival scene in the UK and go to several major events each year. Something that's often described is a tipping point where the festival organisers have sold too many tickets and the community feel of the event is lost. In the case of Glastonbury, the UK's biggest festival, the organiser's themselves have complained of there being an imbalance in the age of their audience… it's ageing. Those who have been going to Glastonbury for sometime often complain that it's become too big and too mainstream. That said, the feeling of being part of a massive drifting, shifting and moving crowd is often just as important as the band on stage. Everyone who is present creates the geography of the moment, the atmosphere that creates the place and so the destination that everyone has come for. Are these camping festival survivalists who brave the elements to enjoy this unique location any less an explorer because what they seek is music together rather than snow alone? I don't think so.
We are all explorers, or as the poet Kate Tempest (@katetempest) would say, we are the Brand New Ancients.

Located near the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, the Panthers share Heinz Field with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It is considered one of the finest football stadiums in the country, with a capacity of over 65,000 fans. The University, founded in a log cabin in 1787, is among the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States. The Panther, a formidable creature once indigenous to the Pittsburgh area, was adopted as the University of Pittsburgh's mascot in 1909.

Fort Wayne Police are searching for a suspect after the Chase Bank on Lower Huntington Road reported a robbery late Thursday morning.
According to Raquel Foster, spokeswoman for the FWPD, the man who allegedly robbed the bank presented the teller with a note at around 11:30 a.m. that asked for money but he did not display a weapon. He then fled the bank headed eastbound with an undisclosed amount of money in a small bag along with the note. A Fort Wayne Police canine unit was unable to locate the robber.
Meanwhile, St. Therese Catholic School was put on lock-down, according to scanner traffic.
The bank reported a robbery Oct. 26. In that case, employees said they arrived to work at around 8 a.m. and were approached by two males who were dressed in dark hooded sweat shirts while wearing black masks over their faces who forced them inside the bank. Both robbers had handguns. They demanded cash before leaving in an unknown direction, according to a police report.
Foster said the city has had 14 bank robberies in the past year. Police suspect because most of the robberies are similar – approaching an employee who is forced to enter the bank – that they have been robbed by the same people. Foster said because today's robbery was nothing like the others, it is unlikely related to any others.
Foster said police hope to have surveillance footage of the robber later Thursday.

Recently, a woman who called herself an "independent conservative" to separate herself from that hairy horde of regressives, called me a "secular progressive," apparently to deny that she was equally narrow like that horde of right-wing extremists.
As a Christian, I take a secular view of the Constitution. If that's what she meant, it's OK by me. But the topic is children's books, which neither of us is willing to censor. She has a list of books that give comfort to conservative book-banners; that is, she "wishes" adult authors of children's books would not validate every spasm of the teen years.
The only "thing" holding her back is a free market economy, as she views it.
She wishes book publishers would publish only the books she likes for children — that they would operate their businesses for social purposes rather than for profit. Contradiction, huh?
As a father and grandfather, I take an interventionist approach to children's books, steering mine away from books about sex and horror and degradation and toward books that make moral and aesthetic claims.
Oh, yes, I readily confess. Censorship? Never!
Here's my point: Many believe our culture is split between left and right on the question of permissiveness regarding what our kids read. In fact, I find there is no such division on the core issues, in spite of what Fox News claims and preaches.
I confess to having "a list" of books that I would steer mine (or a parent) away from reading, but I would never try to impose this on my community (schools, libraries, etc.) — for example, books I read as jingoism, depictions of biblical gender roles as traditional roles in our society, etc.
Finally, it's OK by me for cons and regressives to label me as an anti-book banner on the left who agrees that books influence our kids and that I prefer some books to others. However, I do not use capitalism as the criterion for that position.
For the record, I feel the same about music, which is more powerful than the printed word. But I'm not a philistine like the hairy horde. I'm not preoccupied or obsessed with sex like the critic who calls me a "secular progressive."

Howdy kids hope all are well
I have a chunk of 1/4" plate that is 32" x 16"
to stiffen this plate I plan to weld some parallel flat bar 1" x1/8" x 16" along the 16" direction of the plate. The flat bar will be positioned and welded so that the 1" side will be perpendicular to the 1/4" plate.
These stiffeners will be equal spaced.
My concern is that I will warp the plate.
What can I do to minimize warping?

Stager welds , jump all around clamp it down real good and /or weld it on aluminum to draw lots of heat away. Those will all help

thank for your reply, Bob
I do not think I need much of a weld. My goal is to minimize flexing along the 16" direction. Perhaps 4 to 5 1/2" beads along each side of the 1/8" x 16 flat. That is most likely overkill. And I am thinking mig.

More shorter welds, like 1/2", cooling with air between each weld. Clamp down firmly to known flat surface
also if you are clamping it down, leave it clamped down and heat the whole piece evenly with torch and let cool down after should normalize all the stress from the weld beads. i know this is very time consuming but some times required if part is to be as strait as it was be for... or if this will not work for you then small beads (ie 1") long and skipping around will put much less stress on it. i never liked compressed air for cooling as well if it is a part that may crack this will not help as you cool the beads too fast for the grain structure to form correctly and may crack or fracture.trail blazer 302

Yes arc, I should have said that. I have done it on non critical welds to speed up the process.
avoiding heat warping......a call for your collective wisdom
How many bars? You could per crown the plate by clamping it down with some spacer bars on the opposite side you are welding the 1" bars. If you clamp it to a flat surface it will still warp. As stated, do not air cool with compressed air it's just not a good idea weather it's critical or not!
1-Use a pc. of thicker plate that will be strong enough without welding stifeners on it. Maybe 1/2" thick? No welding = no warping.
2-Clamp it flat, weld it up & straighten it after it cools. Depending on how much weld you put it may bow in both directions.
Edit 3 - Use thicker stiffeners and less of them.
What are you trying to accomplish? 1/8x1 isn't exactly robust for stiffening.MM250

I would figure out how strong/stiff the finished product needs to be, and go from there.
The less you weld on it, the less it's going to warp.
For a 16" long stiffener, I think I'd try to get away with maybe four 3/8" long tacks 4" on center, and allow everything to cool off / equalize as much as possible between each tack weld.
If you find that you're getting a crown on the top (opposite side from where you're welding) halfway through, I might run a bead on the top side to pull it back straight (or even convex) before finishing the welding on the stiffener side (which will pull it back). Then grind off the bead on the top side after you're all done.
If you run into problems, Google "flame bending" (which can also be done with a welding machine).

From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
When the boxer and the biologist collided that November evening, they both had a substantial following, and they presented a sharp contrast to the audience: a pugilistic, self-educated fundamentalist evangelist against a suave, sophisticated science writer. When it comes right down to it, not all that different from Ken Ham versus Bill Nye, except that Ham has a couple of earned degrees where Rimmer had none.
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
Bethel was where I learned that the science that I loved could be a Christian calling. Before that I had a vague notion that truly serving God meant being a pastor or missionary. Here I learned that in every profession you can love God with heart and soul and mind and strength, studying God's world with your mind and caring for it with your hands.

Interpretive Handbook
61547 :
Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA), Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The porphyrias are a group of inherited disorders resulting from enzyme defects in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Depending on the specific enzyme involved, various porphyrins and their precursors accumulate in different specimen types. The patterns of porphyrin accumulation in erythrocytes and plasma and excretion of the heme precursors in urine and feces allow for the detection and differentiation of the porphyrias.
The porphyrias are typically classified as erythropoietic or hepatic based upon the primary site of the enzyme defect. In addition, hepatic porphyrias can be further classified as chronic or acute, based on their clinical presentation.
The primary acute hepatic porphyrias: aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (ADP), acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), hereditary coproporphyria (HCP), and variegate porphyria (VP), are associated with neurovisceral symptoms which typically onset during puberty or later. Common symptoms include severe abdominal pain, peripheral neuropathy, and psychiatric symptoms. A broad range of medications (including barbiturates and sulfa drugs), alcohol, infection, starvation, heavy metals, and hormonal changes may precipitate crises. Photosensitivity is not associated with AIP, but may be present in HCP and VP.
The excretion of aminolevulinic acid (ALA) can be increased due to one of the inherited acute porphyrias or due to secondary inhibition of ALA dehydratase. Among the secondary causes, acute lead intoxication results in the highest degree of aminolevulinic aciduria. Less significant elevations are seen in chronic lead intoxication, tyrosinemia type I, alcoholism, and pregnancy.
The work up of patients with a suspected porphyria is most effective when following a stepwise approach. See Porphyria (Acute) Testing Algorithm and Porphyria (Cutaneous) Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions or contact Mayo Medical Laboratories to discuss testing strategies.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assistance in the differential diagnosis of the various acute hepatic porphyrias
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Abnormal results are reported with a detailed interpretation which may include an overview of the results and their significance, a correlation to available clinical information provided with the specimen, differential diagnosis, recommendations for additional testing when indicated and available, and a phone number to reach one of the laboratory directors in case the referring physician has additional questions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The preferred test for lead toxicity in children is blood lead (see PBBD / Lead with Demographics, Blood).
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.
<1 year: < or =10 nmol/mL
1-17 years: < or =20 nmol/mL
> or =18 years: < or =15 nmol/mL

Hang tight!
Recipe by Carl T. Erickson
"This has been a recipe in our family since before the turn of the century. I am 70, so you can imagine when it started to get down to my sister and me. Now my grand-nephew enjoys them. Keep under lock and key, or they will disappear in a trice!"

3/4 cup
2 cups
packed brown sugar
4 (1 ounce) squares
unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 cup
chopped walnuts
Perfection... After reading several recipes and reviews I decided to try this one because it was the first recipe I'd ever seen that uses brown sugar. I was skeptical so I used 1 cup brown and 1 cup white sugar to be safe. I was out of butter so I used margarine instead. I also added two tablespoons of Dutch Cocoa and a splash of cold coffee for an extra kick. I was leary about the temp so I used 350 degrees and baked for 30 mins using a 9 by 11 in. pan. I discovered this is the identical recipe as Baker's and Hershey's (on the unsweetened chocolate box) with the exception of the brown sugar. For the first time in my life I had perfect brownies! I will never use a mix again. These took some time but they were worth it, absolutely perfect! Gooey inside and crispy outside just the way a perfect brownie should be. One day I will try the recipe in it's orginal form. I can't wait for my kids to try these. I am topping them with homemade chocolate frosting and m&m's at their request!
I cooked these as directed @ 250F and they were starting to burn on the edge and were still batter in the middle. I tried again putting them in at 350F and less time and they turned out perfect.
107 Ratings
Turned out great (gooey and fudgy) with a few modifications. First, I didn't have choc squares so I had to use the cocoa powder/butter ratio on the back of the Hershey's box (I picked this recipe because several reviewers mentioned success with this). Second, I couldn't help myself, I added a dash of clove. Third, I used roasted walnuts, and a small handful of semisweet chocolate chips. Fourth, I cooked it for 60 mins at 250, then turned the temp up to 300 for another 20 mins, and they were perfect. I think it is important to have a glass pan. Glass and metal cook very differently!
Followed recipe to an art except that I changed the baking temp to 350 and baking time to 30 minutes. I also used a glass baking dish. EXCELLENT! VERY SOFT!
These were the best homemade brownies ever! I frosted mine with fudge frosting-delicious!
They were in the oven 3 HOURS and never did get done! I went back through the recipe and I did nothing wrong...this is the worst kitchen disaster I've EVER had!
Great recipe, but the temp. must be wrong because they weren't done that early, had to change the temp. to 350 degrees and cook for 45-50 min. Other than that it's a great recipe.
We were not too impressed with these. Baking them at 250 did not work, the edges were super crispy and the center was still uncooked. The flavor was mild and a little too sweet...not even close to chocolatey enough. I will not be making these again. Sorry!

Muehl finishes strong, ETSU women place ninth
Tuesday, October 26, 2010
Senior ties for 11th on individual leaderboard at Palmetto Intercollegiate
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (Oct. 26, 2010) - Senior Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) fired a final round score of 4-over-par 75 to finish tied for 11th on the individual leaderboard, pacing the ETSU women's golf team to a ninth-place showing during third round action Tuesday at the Palmetto Intercollegiate hosted by College of Charleston at the Oak Point Golf Club.
While Muehl played well, the Buccaneers struggled as a whole and dropped from a tie for fifth after the second round to their ninth place finish at 908 (294-298-316). Fellow Atlantic Sun Conference rival Kennesaw State won the event with a team score or 875, besting Coastal Carolina by five strokes.
Individually, Charleston's Leigh Whittaker enjoyed the home course advantage to easily capture the tournament title by nine strokes over second place finisher Courtney Boe of Coastal Carolina. Whitaker finished the event at 205, while Muehl was 16 strokes off that pace at 221.
Other ETSU results included a tie for 28th by both freshman Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) and junior Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain).
The Bucs will return to action in their final tournament of the fall on Friday, when they begin play in the Lady Paladin Invitational hosted by Furman University in Greenville, S.C. For more on ETSU women's golf, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's golf link.
