Wayne State University offers a 200 acre campus in the heart of Midtown Detroit.
Wayne State has the largest single-campus medical school in the U.S., creating collaborations with two major medical centers within a few miles of the campus.
Wayne State is surrounded by cultural institutions like the Detroit Institute of Arts, the second largest fine arts museum in the country with more than 60,000 works of art.
Wayne State's over 200 acre campus offers plenty of green space to enjoy beautiful weather.
WSU offers its own seasonal farmers market featuring locally sourced foods.
Old Main is WSU's signature building. It houses the Grosscup Museum of Anthropology, Thomas Edison's mineral collection, a planetarium, rehearsal space for dance, music and theatre, 45 classrooms, and several administrative offices.
At the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center, WSU offers opportunities to play on campus.
Located behind our state-of-the-art residence halls, the sand pit is used for more than just volleyball.
Midtown hosts a number of festivals, gallery shows and other events in its thriving cultural community.
Loft developments and local businesses make Midtown a great place to live, work and play.
Detroit is currently experiencing one of the largest urban redevelopment booms in the country, with an influx of young professionals, new businesses and new ideas.
Wayne State University is at the forefront of innovation with its focus on research and development.
Part of Wayne State's urban mission is to help build a successful community through volunteering, partnering, and community engagement.
Detroit hosts three major sports teams minutes from campus: the Tigers (baseball), the Lions (football) and the Red Wings (ice hockey).
Located in the entertainment district, Campus Martius Park offers the Fourth Fridays concerts in the summer and the Motown Winter Blast in the winter, showing why it was voted the 4th best public square in North America by the Urban Land Institute.
The Spirit of Detroit is the unofficial mascot for city, and wears jerseys for sports teams when they make the championship round. The 26 foot tall cast bronze statue even donned a tuxedo in homage during the Three Tenors' visit to Detroit.
We invite you to come explore Detroit and everything it has to offer.

Country singer John Rich is used to answering questions, but in his new holiday special "Rich at Night" on the TV Guide Network, Rich sits on the other side of the microphone.
The show is filmed from his house "Mount Richmore" on Love Circle and will feature Rich interviewing music and television stars.
"It's a hybrid between reality and a late-night talk show, you know, like a Fallon or a Kimmel or one of those kinds of guys except it happens in my house in downtown Nashville and around town," Rich said. "I didn't see another show like it out there. We've get shows based on the east coast and shows on the west coast, but there's not really a middle-America late-night show, really since shows like 'Nashville Now.'"
Special guests include Wynonna Judd, Kix Brooks, Gretchen Wilson, Wayne Brady, Gilbert Gottfried and John Ratzenberger.
"With my house and all of my crazy friends that hang around, it seemed like an interesting idea for a show," Rich said. "We pitched it to all the networks and they said, 'Yep, that's a good idea for a show and we want to give you a shot at it.'"
Rich described it as a "Nashville version of the Dean Martin show."
"When you can mix music and actors and everything together and put them under the culture of Nashville, that's where it gets cool," Rich said. "It's really really different. Granny Rich is there cooking in the kitchen, smoking a cigarette and drinking a Pabst Blue Ribbon. It's everything from that to bikini girls on the roof in a pool."
John Rich's special "Rich at Night" will air 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25, on TVGN. The show will air multiple times during the holiday season.

we use these every day. they are easy to write on, colorful, and strong
This review is from Durable Write On Plastic Dividers with Expandable Pockets 5 Tab 16183:
I am absolutely impressed with this product. I needed something to help me stay organized during training. I train full days (7 1/2 hours a day) for 12 weeks at a time. There is little time to put one subject matter material away as we move to the next. These divider pockets were exactly what I was looking for. I have a 5 inch Avery binder and the binder holds my workbooks and power points that go along with the workbooks thanks to these dividers. I put my power points in the dividers and they are right there with my workbook so it eliminates the need for different locations and it is easy to put away my power point notes pages, and move to the next section holding my next power point notes pages and workbooks. I think the description says a pocket can hold 70 sheets. I'm sure I have stuffed more into them. I have been very pleased. This is exactly what I needed to stay organized from class to class. Thank you Avery.
This review is from Durable Write-On Dividers 16171:
I love the fact that you can write and re-write on these tabs. For school purposes, it makes it easy to re-label from one semester to the next. Saves you money! The color coding system, too, makes it very practical for school use. Great product, Avery! And...these are the most durable/lasting dividers I've ever bought. I would not consider buying another brand!

Love the colors!

AFTON — Southwest Valley's height and experience propelled the Timberwolves to a 25-19, 23-25, 25-15, 25-15 win over East Union here Tuesday.
But, that didn't stop the Eagles from battling throughout the contest.
"They were really scrappy," Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. "They got a lot up that other teams would have dropped."
"The girls worked really hard," East Union coach Gail Thatcher said.
Dealing with a Southwest Valley front line that includes 5-10 Marissa Drake, 6-1 Jade Petersen, 6-2 Marie Palmer and 6-3 Sydney Maynes was a difficult task for an East Union team that started four sophomores.
"We're a tall team," Wetzel said. "Sydney and Marie up there in front and Jade and Mar on those nine spots, get their hands on a lot of balls and they did a great job of blocking tonight."
Maynes finished the match with four solo blocks and one block assist, while Palmer got her hands on three solo blocks and one block assist. Petersen finished with two solo blocks.
"I knew Southwest Valley was going to bring it," Thatcher said. "They're a lot taller than us, a lot older than us, and she's really put together a good team with the girls she's got from Corning and Villisca mixing well."
Palmer was a force for the Timberwolves in the first game, giving the Eagles fits, especially early in the game.
"When you're young and your sophomores haven't seen a hitter like that this year, it makes it difficult," Thatcher said. "Then you try to get them out wide and they hit it between the seams. You try to move the girls around a little bit, but I was pleased with how we played. We learned a lot tonight."
Palmer finished the match with 15 kills. She hit a rocket to give the Timberwolves a 16-12 lead in the first game and then gave her team a point later to make it 23-18 before the Timberwolves closed out the first game 25-19.
"We came out really on fire in game one, did a great job," Wetzel said. "Our hitting was fantastic. That was probably the best we've hit all year."
Southwest Valley bolted to a 12-6 lead in game two, but East Union came roaring back, as Emily Eckels went on a service string to close the score to 13-13.
Southwest Valley quickly regained a 20-15 lead in the game, however. But once again, East Union fought back.
A Kelsey Hoff kill ended the Timberwolves' run, and Courtney Phelps served three-straight points to make it a 22-21 game, forcing Wetzel to call a timeout.
After Southwest Valley stretched the lead to 23-21, East Union scored the final four points of the game to come away with a 25-23 win.
"We keep slipping with serves," Wetzel said. "We've got to get our serves on. We keep letting teams hang around with our missed serves. We need to clean that up."
For East Union, libero Brittany Malone played a strong defensive game, going 30-of-32 on serve receive and recording a team-high 30 digs.
"Brittany Malone has really been a big asset and changed our passing game a lot for us," Thatcher said. "Switching her to libero has increased our touches on the ball. Now we have to get our hitters to get more kills than errors. That's what we're struggling with right now."
Over the final two games, Southwest Valley proved to be too strong for East Union. While the Eagles started four sophomores, Southwest Valley started all seniors and juniors.
Southwest Valley improved to 15-4 for the season and remained undefeated in Pride of Iowa Conference play, with just one conference matchup remaining on the schedule next Tuesday against Bedford.
East Union, meanwhile, falls to 8-13 for the season. The Eagles host an Interstate 35 team coached by former Eagle prep and Creston assistant coach Mallory Peterson on Thursday.
"It's been a long time since Corning/Southwest Valley has beaten East Union, so that was a great feeling for these girls," Wetzel said.

I have been making contact with other female tattoo artists. And before you groan, like, "Oh geez… Not another feminist rant… boo!" Give this a chance because I think you might be at the very least slightly impressed or inspired by more than one of these women, I sure am! Please bare in mind the truth that there was a time when it was far more rare to see a woman tattoo artist who could lay down a solid tattoo. These days we are luckier than those who came before us and paved the way. Plus, there have always been terrible male artists also, but they never got that much attention anyway. So the focus seems to have been harder on the ladies. Attitudes toward the sexes are ever-changing… Read More »

The Central American immigrant population in the United States has grown dramatically since 1980 to reach 3.2 million or 7 percent of the country's total foreign-born population. Central Americans were significantly less educated, but more likely to be employed than all immigrants and U.S. born. From income to health coverage and more, this Spotlight explores key indicators of the Central American immigrant population.

With the growing urbanization and consolidation of Nicaraguan immigrants in sectors such as construction and domestic service, Costa Rica has shifted its focus from immigration enforcement to integration. Tension has emerged between the government and private sector as a new mechanism for regularizing unauthorized immigrant workers has failed to gain traction.
The killing of a young woman in San Francisco by an unauthorized immigrant coincided with the Obama administration's rollout of the Priority Enforcement Program, a new vehicle for improving federal-local relations on immigration enforcement. The tragedy has rekindled debate over the role of "sanctuary" cities and propelled illegal immigration to the forefront of the 2016 presidential race.
This article explores differences in application and renewal rates for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program among unauthorized immigrants from Latin America and Asia. Based on interviews with immigrant advocates and service providers, it appears participation in the deportation relief program may be different among origin groups based on varying perceptions of lack of trust in government and shame over legal status, as well as political barriers.
While many countries are increasing engagement with their diasporas, U.S. policy has chiefly focused on U.S.-based diasporas from other countries, despite its own estimated overseas population of 7.6 million. This feature explores results from a survey of more than 1,400 U.S. citizens and 140 former citizens living abroad, many of whom are critical of limited U.S. government engagement with them even as restrictive financial reporting regulations have been imposed.
With more than 1.8 million immigrants living in the United States, the Philippines was the fourth largest country of origin in 2013. Filipino immigrants stand out from other top immigrant groups with their unique historical experience as former nationals due to U.S. annexation of the Philippines in 1899, close historic ties to the U.S. military, and prevalence in health-care professions.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.

Public frustration with decades of poor governance and pervasive corruption in Ukraine culminated in the EuroMaidan revolution in November 2013. Since then, violent conflict and Russia's annexation of Crimea have displaced an estimated 2 million people, both internally and internationally. This feature article explores migration ambitions among Ukrainians in the lead-up and aftermath of EuroMaidan, and the impact of war and economic crisis on traditional migration patterns.
Even as Nepal will lean more heavily on its international diaspora to help recover from devastating earthquakes that killed thousands and decimated parts of the country, the disasters have had effects on internal migration. Class and gender dynamics have long driven significant internal flows. This feature article explores migration trends in Nepal, including movement between ecological zones, growing urbanization, and the feminization of an increasingly mobile workforce.
In 2013, more than 25 million people in the United States reported limited English proficiency (LEP), an 80 percent increase since 1990. The LEP population, the majority of which is immigrant, is generally less educated and more likely to live in poverty than the English-proficient population. This Spotlight explores key indicators of the LEP population, both U.S. and foreign born, including geographic distribution, language diversity, and employment.
Immigration to the United States from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has increased in recent years, rising to a total population of 1.02 million in 2013. Immigrants from the region come from a diverse range of countries and cultures. This data Spotlight delves into the variations among MENA groups on key socioeconomic indicators, from geographic distribution and language proficiency to employment, immigration pathways, and naturalization.
Indian immigrants represent the second-largest origin group in the United States, accounting for 4.7 percent of the total foreign-born population. Generally high-skilled and highly educated, more than half of Indian immigrants have arrived since 2000 and largely attain green cards through employment-based pathways. Indians account for 70 percent of H-1B petitions and are the second-largest group of international students in the United States.
With a history of encouraging workers to emigrate to relieve unemployment at home, Tunisia now has 11 percent of its population living abroad. The factors underlying the 2011 revolution that sparked the Arab Spring have also fueled emigration desires for many Tunisians. This country profile explores historical and current trends in Tunisia from colonial settlement to the aftermath of the Arab Spring, and the new focus on migrant rights at home and abroad.
The end of the Vietnam war, marked by the fall of Saigon in 1975, precipitated the mass Indochinese refugee crisis, which saw more than 2 million people flee the region, often on unseaworthy boats. Following the war, Vietnamese migration was divided between humanitarian flows to the West, and labor migrants to allied communist countries. More recently, Vietnam's rapid economic growth has prompted increased labor migration to Asia and a rise in migrant brides.
This country profile analyzes Ecuador's migration trends and examines how remittances and return migration have become an important policy focus for a country with an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million nationals living abroad, chiefly in the United States, Spain, and Italy. As waves of emigration occurred, the country also has experienced significant inflows of refugees and economic and lifestyle migrants.
Sous l'effet du nombre croissant de migrants sur son sol, la société marocaine se retrouve confrontée à un ensemble totalement nouveau de questions sociales et juridiques qui sont typiques des pays d'immigration. Face à cette évolution, les autorités marocaines ont annoncé une nouvelle politique migratoire en 2013, que ce profil pays se propose d'analyser.
Morocco has evolved into one of the world's leading emigration countries. European immigration restrictions did not stop migration, but rather pushed Moroccan migrants into permanent settlement, prompting large-scale family reunification. Morocco is also becoming a destination country, and the growing presence of immigrants confronts Moroccan society with an entirely new set of social and legal issues typical for immigration countries, as this country profile explores.
As legal challenges continue to impede President Obama's deferred action programs to protect millions of unauthorized immigrants from deportation, it is becoming increasingly clear that the window of opportunity for implementation before the 2016 election is growing ever narrower. Even as advocates continue mobilizing immigrants to apply, attention is shifting to other new policies announced by the president last November.
Mexico has lost its long-held status as the top source country of new immigrants to the United States, dropping to third place behind China and India. This historic shift is remarkable for the rapid decline in Mexican inflows combined with a steady rise in Asian immigration, largely through high-skilled visa programs. This Policy Beat explores the reasons behind these trends and their potential impact on U.S. demographics.
The H-2B visa allows U.S. employers to bring in foreign workers to temporarily fill low-skill nonagricultural jobs across a wide range of states and industries. A series of recent legal challenges has exposed the presence of fraud and abuse, while stripping the program of its regulations and raising uncertainty about its future. This Policy Beat examines the implications in the debate surrounding temporary worker programs.
Attention is now squarely focused on the U.S. federal courts where the legal battle over President Obama's executive actions on immigration continues. While congressional efforts to roll back the directives appear to have been put aside, at least temporarily, implementation of the signature deferred action programs announced in November 2014 remains blocked. The administration, however, is moving forward with other aspects of the executive order, as this article explores.

Are Your Political Beliefs Hardwired?
November 05, 2012, 03:04:32 PM »
Smithsonian.com had a very interesting article about whether a persons political beliefs are hardwired, learned, or both. I think the recent marathon thread/debate/discussion on healthcare could be a good example of people having differing opinions that may be hardwired into their brains as much as being an opinion based on information. The article can be read

I think the recent marathon thread/debate/discussion on healthcare could be a good example of people having differing opinions that may be hardwired into their brains as much as being an opinion based on information. The article can be read
The short answer is, what we are, is always an interaction between our genetic make-up and our environment, and that environment includes, of course, all cultural influences, individual traumas, family upbringing, quality of schooling, and, let's not forget, the environment in the womb before birth.
If a woman wishes to give her unborn child the best future as a concert pianist, then I believe it would be good advice to recommend she play lots piano works from Chopin and Listz , and lots of Beethoven piano sonatas on the home hi fi system. Her unborn baby will hear it, and such experiences will later influence the child, and later the adult's appreciation of classical music.
Perhaps the most graphic illustration that I've seen, of this problem of determining to what extent one's genes or one's upbringing are responsible for one's later choice of vocation, and one's talents and social attitudes, etc, was an educational TV program on the subject of psychopathic behaviour. (We have some very educational TV programs in Australia).
In brief, a neuroscientist was presented with some brain scans of psychopaths who had been convicted of some serious crimes. The project was to find out if psychopaths' brains were sort of 'hard-wired' in a particular way that resulted in a total lack of empathy and compassion for others.
The neuroscientist did in fact discover something quite remarkable. The images, MRI scans, of the pscyopaths' brains were in fact clearly different in fairly dramatic and obvious ways from MRI scans of so-called normal people. There was great excitement of a possible break-through in understanding psychopathic behaviour.
However, something even more remarkable was later observed. The neuroscientist doing the research was presented with an MRI scan of his own brain, which he (unwittingly) included with all the psychopaths' brain scans, not due to a mistake, but because his own brain scan resembled that of the psychopaths.
When he later learned that his own brain scan resembled that of a psychopath, he was of course rather disturbed, and began asking members of his family to tell him the truth. Had he appeared to them to be an odd or unusual sort of child, youth and man. They told him frankly, that he was and had been.
The conclusion is that hard-wiring along particular lines will always exert some influence on a person's behaviour and attitudes, but is not an inflexible determinant. The neuroscientist's upbringing and education was sufficient to largely counteract the socially negative influences of a particular type of hard-wiring that in others, with a deficient and troubled upbringing, might result in psychopathic behaviour.
Now what has this got to do with photography? Well, the words 'graphic', 'image' and 'scan' have been used.

Nothing but gut feel on my part, but we're probably hard-wired to be tribal. Once people identify with a tribe, they tend to defend the tribe to great lengths. It can Nikon vs Canon, GM vs Ford, or warring political parties.
There's another thread on this board where some folks got into an argument about who invents things (by that they probably meant a combination of think up, design, create, build, market, etc.), with some arguing that private enterprise creates things and that governments hamper it, while others argued the reverse. Ten seconds of sober thought should lead one to realize that throughout history new ideas came from all kinds of places and people, including the Soviet Union, university labs, private companies, guys in basements, non-profit think tanks, etc. But tribal affiliation prevents people from seeing, or at least acknowledging that.
A lot of people cannot handle shades of grey.
Why? It's probably primordial, the wolf pack kills outsiders. Some people may think that it is a sign of weakness to listen to new or at least different ideas. Others are too lazy. Who knows. It is certainly tiresome to listen to. As an example, a lot of people think that it was private enterprise that brought about the electronic revolution, when it was obviously everyone acting in concert that did it. But in the case of the electronic revolution, I would argue that it was publicly sponsored research by thousands of physics grad students in the 1920s to 1960s (and later) who did work in all kinds of seemingly irrelevant and obscure topics (that might garner ridicule in newspapers) that gave rise to what we now call Solid State Physics and that's what led to our computers and cell phones. I am not taking anything away from the creative engineers who built the boxes we use, I used to be one, but let's not let them take too much credit either.

... some arguing that private enterprise creates things and that governments hamper it, while others argued the reverse...
While the first part seems correct (some indeed argued so), I do not recall anyone arguing "the reverse."

As with pretty much everything, it's a matter of nature & nurture, not nature or nurture.
Human traits, thinking & behaviour lie along a continuum. Psychopathy is part of that continuum. Some of the traits we see in people clinically diagnosed as psychopaths, are also seen in other people. It is a matter of degree of organic difference (including genetics, but also changing brain architecture as a person matures - which in turn mediates further development & interactions), and social/environmental issues that influence the developing brain. It's a complex matter, this growing brains thingy. Trust me, I'm a psychologist.
The same sort of thing applies in Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which includes what we term 'Asperger's syndrome'. Lots of people show 'autistic' tendancies. In fact, most men do so, to some variable degree. It's certainly men more than women. As Hans Asperger suggested, autism is an extreme of male intelligence. But short of what we see as a clinical picture of autism, there are all sorts of things that count as 'tendancies', and people display them to a greater or lesser extent.
The same will apply to political beliefs - a certain tendancy might exist because of the hardwiring in the brain. Nurture then kicks in, and can infact influence the further development of that hardwiring. The old Jesuit saw (attributed to Francis Xavier) applies - "Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man". Those early influences stick.
Interestingly, psychopathic traits are quite common amongst businessmen. A near single-minded determination to succeed, without too much concern for the impact decisions have on people (as opposed to a balance sheet), would be quite typical of a psychopath, but equally beneficial in terms of power & a hard-headed, cut-throat business world too.

It should be possible to check political belief in adult twins that were separated at birth. If there is a tendency to vote like their biological parents, we might assume that there is a significant inherited component. If there is a tendency to vote like foster parents, we might assume that there is a significant cultural component.
I tend to think that people try to blend in - i.e. the political beliefs of most people is a reflection of what the people in their surroundings believe.

Thanks for posting the article.
On the surface the article appears to question the possibility of determining political views, but as I read it, the primary goal appeared to be one of finding ways to manipulate views. The related content spelled out that they were talking about the psychology of politics as a primary goal rather than trying to determine if people were hard wired (most are, but an important minority can and do decide most elections).
The machine that is the human brain works along the same kind of bell curve that most machines work along. We all know that for the majority, political views are somewhere between largely fixed and totally fixed. In the end, the political process we in the US just emerged from is one of playing mostly to the so-called independent voters.
The fact that trying to get the vote of the independent voter is the major goal for both parties is self-evident, and there is a vast amount of research that goes into this process. Of course, the independent voter is no brighter or dumber than party loyalists, but they always become
major focus if not
major focus of every election cycle, and successfully influencing this group is usually the path to victory.
So in answer to the question, history shows that for the vast majority of the population their perception of politics is largely unchanging, however, if one were to view political battles in the US over longer periods, say, about the last 100 years or so, they would detect a gradual shift away from the right. The shift is due to the results that the predominantly successful right wing influence has produced in this time. I think that seeing what influences voter choices over longer periods of time is far more important a source of study than trying to determine if most people are stuck with an idee fixe. In the end, that question has been answered.

To fix this I decided to install headphone jacks on each earpiece. This not only fixed the breaking cable, but also acts as a psuedo quick disconnect as well. DISCLAIMER: this instructable will only work if you can open up your headphones ear pieces in such a way that they can be put back together! I have Grado SR60s, which worked perfectly for this.
I didn't think ahead and take a picture of all the tools needed, but here's a list;
• Pliers and/or wire snips
• Cable Strippers
• Dremel Tool and/or Drill + Bits
• 2 x 1/8" micro mono panel mount headphone jacks
• 2 x 1/8" mono phone plugs
• Heat shrink of various sizes and colors.
• Heat gun
NOTE: I've skipped describing the process of how to actually connect the speaker wires to the connectors and plugs. There are other, better, instructables available that describe the process. Sorry!
Step 1: Disassemble Earpieces
I can't imagine mouser.com not having a suitable panel jack either.
Make sense?
The parts you can find at radioshack for a few bucks.
Like I said in my instructable, my headphones worked out perfectly for this. But not all headphones are created equal...
Looking at pictures of the 448's online, it looks like they already have a removable cable?
Good luck!
As for the 448's having removable cable, holy crap, I can't believe I missed that detail. Almost all the videos and reviews I've seen never once mentioned the removable cable for the Sennheiser HD 4XX series. That's another reason to buy it :))
Looking forward to seeing more headphone mods! Thanks!
Thanks for the kind comments, and good luck in your mod (if necessary)!!!
Also, since there are cables going to each ear, and not one, it means I'd have to install two amps. Which is really not very beneficial for these headphones at all.
If the cable breaks, buy a new one and plug it in rather then spending some time soldering each time.
I suggest using a more robust connector type like RCA sockets.
To fix that opened the earpiece up again and bent it back into place.

Hello Everyone!
I am actually an expert here at Science Buddies and thought I could tap into all of the knowledge here. I am a 5th year Biochemistry PhD student at UCLA and have been exploring non-benchwork positions. What types of jobs do some of you have that are non-traditional? And how did you get there? I see positions that I am interested (science marketing etc. (not sales)) in but they are not entry-level positions or I am too overqualified.
Thank you all ahead of time!

The compact camera market features a huge range of options, covering everything from the basic point and shoot models to advanced compacts aimed at enthusiast photographers. Let us help you when it comes to choosing a compact camera
The compact camera market certainly can't be accused of lacking both variety and options of where to direct your hard-earned cash, but what should you be looking for?
Choosing a Compact Camera – Types of Compact
Point and Shoot
Most of us want a portable camera that will slot into a trouser or shirt pocket for spur-of-the-moment snaps, and work out for itself the best focus and exposure.
Budget models with fewer features such as these tend to have the lowest resolution on offer, but that's sufficient quality for photo-realistic prints at regular postcard or A4 sheet size.
If you want the best in terms of build quality and durability, it's worth spending a bit more even on a basic compact.
If style is important to you then there is a bewildering array of cameras to choose from. The camera's body will be fashioned to a greater degree from metal rather than plastic, and of course the price reflects this.
Still, you'll typically have a reasonable resolution, often with an internally stacked zoom lens and, increasingly, Wi-fi capabilities to allow for the compact to be used in conjunction with a smartphone or tablet.
All Weather/Shockproof
Another way in which manufacturers are attempting to differentiate their compacts is by giving them sealed weatherproof or waterproof bodies, some are also marketing them as shockproof.
So if you like adventure sports or you're simply butter-fingered – check out those that will bounce back for more.
A camera that may require a steep learning curve for the beginner, but which offers plenty of manual control. It may not feature a huge zoom capacity but is nevertheless stacked with real photographic features.
As such, enthusiast models set themselves up as ideal back-up cameras for those who already own a DSLR, but want something more portable for that spur-of-the-moment picture-taking opportunity.
The optical zoom capability offered by these enthusiast-targeted models will come in handy for those wanting such a range in a small package – the theory being that they offer so much control, the user won't actually need an SLR.
The downside is that superzooms are bulkier than other types of 'compact', and ideally need a decent image-stabilisation system when shooting at the telephoto end of the zoom to prevent blurry images.
Choosing a Compact Camera – Key Features
Today's compacts incorporate between 10MP and 18MP – ranging over 24MP in some cases – though those with particularly saturated sensors often struggle to control noise and dynamic range. Compacts with backlit sensors often perform better here.
Cameras with particularly high ISO settings are useful when light levels fall, although noise is common to every digital camera and at high ISO options such as 12,800 and 25,600 this effect becomes particularly problematic.
Image stablisation
This comes in three forms: optical, sensor based and ISO based. The first compensates for camera shake by shifting elements within the lens, the second works by shifting the sensor, and the third by adjusting the sensitivity (ISO setting).
Most cameras offer a zoom lens, which allows the focal length to be varied. The range varies between models, with superzoom cameras stretching to as much as 60x. Some enthusiast compacts have fixed lenses instead, and these can offer benefits when it comes to image quality and sharpness

Bucs relinquish late lead in loss to CofC
Sunday, April 25, 2004CHARLESTON, S.C. (April 25, 2004) - Holding a 5-3 lead with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, the East Tennessee State University baseball team watched College of Charleston erupt for 10 runs on eight hits to collect a Southern Conference series sweep with a 13-6 victory Sunday afternoon at Patriots Point Park. With the win, the 25th-ranked Cougars improved to 32-7 overall, 16-2 in SoCon play, while the Bucs dropped to 21-22 overall, 11-13 in conference play. While the game did not turn out well for ETSU, the Bucs looked good early. ETSU took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when an error by Charleston shortstop Steve Friend allowed sophomore Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) to reach and a wild pitch by Cougars' starter Ryan Edell allowed Byrne to move up to second. Junior Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) then scored Byrne from second with a single to right field. Moore finished with an impressive nine hits in the series. Bucs' starting pitcher Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) began the game by tossing three scoreless innings, striking out three Charleston batters and avoiding a Cougar scoring threat in the bottom of the third. However, Charleston finally broke through with a single run in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game 1-1. The contest did not stay tied for long as singles by sophomore Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Byrne, and an error by third baseman Jess Easterling allowed the Bucs to load the bases. ETSU regained the lead when Church's sacrifice fly to right field scored Traylor, and a wild pitch from Edell allowed Byrne to score and make it 3-1 in favor of ETSU. However, the back-and-forth continued in the bottom of the fifth as Charleston netted a pair of runs when Calicutt walked two batters and hit Matt Hallett with a pitch to load the bases. Easterling then followed with a flair base hit into left field that scored two runs and tied the game at 3-3. While the bottom of the ETSU lineup struggled much of the weekend, that trend changed in the top of the sixth. Sophomore Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) led off the inning by blasting a double into the right-centerfield gap and later scored on a single by senior Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.). Turner advanced to second on the throw and later scored on a single by Traylor to make it 5-3. But at that point, things took a very bad turn for ETSU. With a runner on first and two outs, Calicutt hit Eastlering with a pitch to put runners on first and second, and the Cougars then proceeded to slap out eight hits and collect 10 runs. Many of those hits were not struck well, leaking over the ETSU infield and falling just short of the Bucs' outfielders. Nonetheless, Calicutt and relievers Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) and Brandon Summey (Kingsport, Tenn.) were unable to get the Bucs out of the inning and the damage was done, as the Cougars led by a score of 13-5. Calicutt (5-6) took the loss on the mound, while Charleston reliever Nick Chigges (4-1) worked four innings and collected the victory. Offensively, Church led the Bucs with two hits and two RBIs, including a solo home run in the ninth to make it 13-6. Meanwhile, Traylor, Byrne and Moore also picked up two hits apiece. For College of Charleston, Phillip Coker powered the Cougars with four hits, while Matt Kirkpatrick collected three hits and three RBIs. ETSU returns home to face Virginia Tech Tuesday night at Hunter-Wright Stadium in Kingsport. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.

|Route 100
If I were limited to giving just one way to get a feel for Vermont, it would be to drive Route 100. The whole thing. All the way. Three hundred miles. Top to bottom.
This two lane road runs nearly the length of the state, a distance a little short of the states 300 mile height. It cuts right through the center of the state, winding mostly through the valleys between the tall spines of the Green Mountains. It dips, swerves, runs a little ways, curves back and forth, rises a little, dives back down, rises back up and carries on like this the entire length. There is not one straight and level mile in it. Nor are there many stop lights. Maybe a dozen, tops. Plus maybe a handful of stop signs. I know there is one in Stowe so there are probably a few others Im not remembering.
It runs through villages, alongside and through farms, deep inside forests, squeezes between rivers and rock cliffs, twists itself out of deep valleys and out onto high ridges. It is one of the best drives in the country, maybe the world.
Route 66 is in the Smithsonian but Route 100 is alive and well and living in Vermont.
If I could have back all the time Ive spent touring in a car, I would spend it all doing the same thing again. I love it. In that vein, I drove the length of Route 100, from Massachusetts nearly to Canada, taking notes and photos along the way. Here is where you can find the log:

Gig Details
89 Yarmouth Road
NR7 0HH Map
Bassist Tim Thornton is a regular performer on the British jazz scene and graduate of Birmingham Conservatoire. He comes from a very musical background with his parents Neal Thornton (pianist/composer) and Sally Burgess (Mezzo Soprano/Director) influencing his early interest in the music world. His debut album 'New Kid' (SEHSO05) features Dave O'Higgins, Steve Fishwick, Ross Stanley, Grant Windsor, Chris Draper and Dave Hamblett performing a mixture of original music and arrangements. The quartet consists of Dave O'Higgins, Chris Draper and Grant Windsor who all star on the album. The band will be touring in February and March 2013 across the UK. The Tim Thornton quartet performs at many venues around the world but can most likely be found playing around London at venues such as Ronnie Scott's, Pizza Express Jazz Club, or the 606 Club. "the most natural young double-bassist in years." Jack Massarik, Evening Standard "Thornton is a player with a strong technique who uses the range of the bass well, and is capable of great depth, emotion and lyricism." Rob Edgar, londonjazz.blogspot.co.uk Dave O'Higgins (sax) Tim Thornton (Bass) Chris Draper (Drums) Grant Windsor (piano)

We don't know about you all, but we're always down for a little friendly competition. And since we have wrist baubles on the mind these days, we thought we'd check in with L.A.'s most stylish, jewel-sporting sisters to see how their arm adornments stack up against each other.
We roved every nook and cranny of the city to round up the best bracelet, bangle, and watch medley we could find. And the results are ravishing—from up-the-arm layered iterations to dainty, demure versions, we've got inspiration for miles.

The Persistent Beggar
A few years ago, I went to visit a church member at a hospital. I decided to wear a clerical collar to the hospital because I was going into the ICU, which was an ICU I had never been to before. Often, it is easier to wear a collar at a hospital because it cuts […] [Read More]

Let consumers find their best place to live based on their everyday needs and wants.
If the Internet touches nearly 90% of homes purchased today and most buyers spend weeks online before contacting an agent, your site should deliver an experience that matches the way an agent would conduct a sale:
- Do you want to live in an area with highly rated schools?
- Are you looking for an area where home values are rising?
- How important is a nearby golf course?
- Do you need an area that is pet friendly?
Today, customers can find their top matches for a place to live online in a way that matches their needs.
How It Works
- The user selects a target search area such as a state, county or even major metro area.
- He or she selects the criteria that are most important (i.e., family friendly area, specific home values, culture, shopping and more).
- Finally the user ranks how important each criteria is in his or her decision.
- The system finds the best matching places and ranks the results. The user receives a targeted list of places with scores and even the geographic boundaries required to determine which area is truly the best for their needs.
Results are generated based on a set of literally millions of data points. Everything from population demographics, to housing trends, to local points of interest to school ratings and much, much more.
Based on a Decade of Best Places experience
For the past decade, we've been been producing data and performing complex analysis to determine the Best Places to Live for some of the nations' top media companies. We've perfected the art and science of determining the Best Places based on demographics, points of interest, ratings and reviews and dozens of other data sets.
Today, we offer this traditionally customized analysis in a very flexible and targeted package through both a web service API and a simple plug-and-play widget. It may be used on broker websites, MLS websites, real estate portals and any other site or application where lifestyle search is relevant.
The Onboard Advantage
- Incorporate into Existing Search: The search can be layered onto an existing listings search, added as a new search option or integrated in any number of ways to create a unique and compelling experience and differentiates you from your competition.
- Human-Centered Search: Allow consumers to search by the way they live, avoiding the limits of how databases can query data.
- Years of Experience: Onboard's Lifestyle Search Engine was born from nearly 50 years of combined experience working with community, demographic and geographic content and analysis.
- Deeply Engaging: Consumers get fully engaged in the search and interactivity of the system "matching" them to their best places, spending more time on site and with your brand.
- Integrated Suite: The Lifestyle Search Engine quickly integrates to the Listings Search Engine and with all other Onboard content to create the richest user experience available on the market.

New Airport Hotel Pages
We sent professional hotel reviewers and photographers to all our Gatwick hotels so we can improve the way we present them on holidayextras.co.uk. Our reviewers spent a night and a day at each hotel experiencing everything our customers do, then they wrote about every aspect so you can now read a detailed and accurate description of each and every one.
The first of our hotels we visited was the Hilton at Gatwick. We are working to improve more airport hotel pages for you and will be updating them soon.
Airport Hotel upgrades
In 2009, we started selling airport hotel upgrades, allowing our customers to add a variety of extras to their hotel booking - often for a cheaper price than you'd pay at the hotel. You can have a bigger room, book your dinner or your breakfast, book a place in an airport lounge, have a bottle of champagne in your room, and more. Unsurprisingly, our upgrades have been a huge hit with customers. You can view our airport hotel upgrades and add them to your booking once you have selected a hotel from our availability page.

- Britannia Country House I planned carpark and night stay on return from 7 days holiday. Arrived at the hotel and reception staff were very helpful, she booked our transfer to airport and gave good explanation for what to do on our return. On our return back to uk i rang the number for transfer back to hotel and they were here within 5 minutes. Arrived at the hotel @ 10.45 pm got booked in. At this time we'd not had anything to eat since dinner time so were hungry. Reception staff advised vloding time for pizzeria would be 11pm. We rushed to put our luggage in our room and got to pizzeria with just 5 minutes to spare. Staff explained that they finish at 11 and could offer takeaway. We were so happy with this but then the gentleman let us eat our pizza in the restaurant while he was clearing up. He also went out of his way to get us a bottle of prosecco that was on special offer from the bar. We left the pizzeria very happy and was z great end to a brilliant holliday. I would definitely be arranging to stay at the hotel again.

Top UK airport hotels
These are some of our most popular hotels at 4 of the busiest airports in the UK.
Gatwick hotels
We have a wide selection of hotels at Gatwick airport which include the Gatwick Hilton, a 4-star hotel with great leisure facilities and dining options as well as its own Costa coffee shop, and the Gatwick Russ Hill hotel which is one of our top-sellers due to its budget price, nearby countryside location and tremendous value for money. Have a browse through our 28 Gatwick hotels to see which might suit you best.
Heathrow hotels
The Heathrow Hilton is one of our most popular hotels at Heathrow, promising everything you expect from this quality brand including a beauty salon, health club and 3 restaurants.
Another best-selling hotel is the Heathrow Sofitel which always offers very competitive prices as well as 5 star quality. The 24 hour gym is free to use for guests and the hotel itself is connected to Heathrow's terminal 5.
Manchester airport hotels
You're spoilt for choice at Manchester airport but the Manchester Crowne Plaza hotel is regularly one of our most successful offerings. It is perfectly located on-site at the airport and boasts some beautifully decorated rooms.
Another noteworthy hotel is the Manchester Radisson SAS airport hotel. It offers quite a unique stay with 4 different room decor's and is connected to Manchester airport via a covered walkway.
Stansted airport hotels
We're very proud to offer the Warman's Barn hotel at Stansted, a beautiful and charming 17th century property in a village setting.
A contrasting, but similarly popular, option is the Stansted Radisson Blu hotel which is actually connected to Stansted airport and has 3 restaurants: Italian, the New York Grill Bar and the Angels' Wine Tower Bar.
Only the best:
We only supply the best hotel's to our customers and even if it's not one of the UK's busiest airports you're flying from you will still find a choice of top quality hotels that have something for everybody and are guaranteed to suit all your travelling needs. For smaller airports where there are fewer hotels to choose from, we still guarantee the hotels we offer are the best available, for the lowest possible price. Southend airport hotels for example, have a choice of two hotels but these two hotels cover everything you would expect (and more!) from an airport hotel.

Chief Flynn urges strip search victims to come forward
Chief Edward Flynn publicly addressed the murders for the first time Sunday.
Click on the video link to see the raw press conference by Police Chief Flynn
MILWAUKEE- Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn, at a news conference at the District 5 station Thursday, urged people who feel they might have been subject to illegal strip searches by Milwaukee police officers to come forward.
Flynn confirmed that he had reassigned seven officers and a sergeant from that district to administrative duty pending an outcome into an investigation into possible violations of department search policies.
If true, Flynn said, some of the offenses might violate state laws regarding strip searches.
Flynn said the MPD Professional Performance Division is investigating the complaints and is seeking additional information from other witnesses to illegal strip searches.
Flynn asks that anyone that has any additional information on these complaints can call:
MPD Professional Performance Division: 935-7939
Milwaukee Fire & Police Commission: 286-5000
Milwaukee County District Attorney: 278-4646
According to Flynn, he reassigned the officers for two reasons. "If the allegations are in fact sustained, we cannot send a message to officers that that conduct is condoned," said Flynn. "The second reason I did this was for the safety of these officers."
Flynn said those officers can't be looking over their own shoulder while under going an internal investigation.
"I promise you if the investigation reveals that these allegations are not sustainable we'll stand behind the results of that investigation. If on the other hand these allegations are sustained by an investigation, the reputation of the department demands proper accountability," said Flynn.
A department source identified the officers as assigned to District 5.
Sources tell TODAY'S TMJ4 say officers with a special gang unit were performing illegal searches -- including cavity searches -- on suspects.

Although his first grand prix of the season was undone by an engine failure, Lewis Hamilton is refusing to let it get him down.
Having claimed pole position in Saturday's wet qualifying, the Mercedes driver was the firm favourite to take the chequered flag on Sunday.
However, even on his very first lap it was apparent there was a problem.
Pulling away from the line on the start, Hamilton was unable to find the power needed to stay in front and immediately began to drop.
The Brit attempted to stay in the race but after three laps was told to pit it to "save the engine."
Explaining to the BBC what went wrong, he said: "As soon as I left the lane I had a lot less power than I usually have.
"They asked me to come in, but I said 'no, no, I can keep going', but I then had to come in.
"I think of all the work that has gone in from the guys in the factory and all the days and nights stressing.
"We looked so strong but to then have a hiccup is tough for everyone, but we will bounce back."
However, Hamilton admits Mercedes went into this weekend's grand prix well aware that reliability could
"We knew reliability could be an issue but of course it surprises you when it happens, but it's early stages and there's a long way to go so I will remain positive and focus on the next race.
"You see people pulling away and I felt like I didn't have power. I kept going as long as I could, but there was no point."

I answered an add for a Bobcat 250 the other day. I was already to go buy a new one when this one jumped out and grabbed my attention. He was asking 2950 for it. It was 3 to 4 years old but only had 40 hrs on it. The gentleman who had it was older and only bought it to build a bridge on his farm.
I got off work yesterday morning after working 15hrs and called the guy to set up a time to meet. He told me that if I wanted to see it and try it out he would meet me at his farm which would cut my trip in half.
I went to the bank, got the 2900, went to my friends house and got the 10' double axel trailer he used to have his bobcat set up on (I got this trailer by helping him out a couple of days).
Met the man at his farm and test ran the machine.....and I was blown away. It burned the rods even better than the one we have at work.
He loads it onto my trailer and I pay him.
We talk and I also walk away with......
A 50lb box of 3/16" 7018A
10lb box of 1/8 7018
25 pickets 1/2" by 6' square tubing
4 -10' sticks of 1" square tubing
An extra 150' of welding lead
AND a 2.5'X8'X1" steel plate
For a whopping $25 extra.
So now I have about a 800 to 1200 dollar trailer for around $250.
A bobcat 250 with 40 hrs for $2950 and all the extras I listed above for $25.
I guess the plate alone is worth around 5 to 6 hundred.
To say the least I am HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.

Now if you can find away to cut that plate in half to use as a welding table top, you can have a table that measures 5'x8'x1/2" thick, that would make a NICE size welding table. Half inch thick top is plenty thick enough for most projects. Maybe a 30" cut bandsaw would do the trick. Don't try it with a torch though, the heat may warp it out of shape.

Alex Berezow and Stephen Meyer talk about God and Evolution on the Michael Medved Show
"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
