Vibram FiveFingers End of Year Sale for $49.99
These are about the prices you'd expect to pay for Vibrams during a sale.
25 Comments add a comment
I love my Vibrams. You have to get used to running in them (no heel striking!), but once I did it increased my stride, allowing me to use less energy to cover longer distances. Anyway, I wore them through Tough Mudder, and they were great. You should give it a try.
Just got my TrekSports from the five fingers website I ordered on Black Friday at this price. The black ones that were sold out then are now back available at full price, but the bright orange ones I got have sold out...
My dog ate my vibrams...no seriously. I am quite upset about it. All the toes are torn off.
Really glad this deal was posted.
Love these shoes.
Vibram owners, what do you do to combat any odor? With any sneakers, I've been able to run them through the wash and be done with it, but someone decided to bag my Vibrams while they were soaked, without my knowledge, and they've got a smell now...
I love the TrekSports for hiking. I also have a pair of the KSO and Sprint as well, and really like them all. After getting used to them, they feel a lot better than regular shoes.
@csunwold: Now that your dog has a taste for toes, you probably shouldn't walk around the house barefoot.
@zetalidan: When mine got funky I just washed them again and it took care of the smell. Something I do for my face towel in addition to washing again is soaking it in a solution of half water and half rubbing alcohol, rinsing them, then throwing them in the wash. I've heard baking soda can also remove smells? Also, I invested in some toe socks for the toe shoes. You may have to up your Vibram size if you didn't buy them with socks in mind. General consensus on Amazon is that it increases your shoe size by one. Good luck!
I got a pair of these that I love for trail running (Spyridons) but want something for more casual use. The KSOs are really popular but think the classics might be a bit more suited.
Its worth noting that Vibram does NOT cover these under their warranty policy. Their warranty only covers Vibram FiveFingers that were purchased from authorized dealers or their own website. Tanga is not an authorized dealer.
Just be absolutely sure you're choosing the right size and everything. These have a very exact fit so if you aren't sure, go try some on at some store locally to make sure you're choosing the right size. Otherwise your only option is Tanga's return policy.
In case you're wondering why Vibram is so strict with their warranty policy, realize there are loads of counterfeits out there. It seems to be such a big problem that they have a section of their website solely (the puns, so bad) dedicated to counterfeit awareness: http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/counterfeits/how-to-spot-a-fake.html
I just wan't to clarify that I'm not saying this sale isn't for the real deal. I'm just letting everyone know Vibram won't cover these under their warranty.
Thanks for the info @jdpman! I had no idea about their authorized dealer policy.
@publicart: I'll give the water/alcohol thing a shot. Baking soda hasn't done a whole lot, which is odd since it tackles my cat litter pretty well...
Guess at this point, I try whatever seems like it might not ruin them :|
@zetalidan: Best of luck! More rubbing alcohol won't hurt either. The water is just there to slow down the evaporation of the rubbing alcohol.
@zetalidan: I clean mine at the same time I clean my sink. I fill my sink up with bleach water for an hour, which whitens the sink, and I soak my Vibrams in there with the sink water. It didn't discolor them, and it took away all the smell. Then I rinse them with plain water (get bleach out), twist the water out, and throw them in the dryer with the laundry. Make sure the velcro is attached to itself or it'll attach to the laundry.
@zetalidan: I use goldsbond powder every time I put them on and never have a problem. Any foot powder will work. Put it in the shoe and on top of your foot before you put them on once a day or every other day.
I have a pair of treksport and they're great for OUTDOORS. If you are hiking or mountain biking outside they're very comfortable. I also went Creekwalking and they do a great job of protecting your feet from sharp rocks.
That said, they're NOT for indoor use. I tried them on the treadmill, elliptical and training bike, and I had to stop 10 minutes in because they just plain itched and hurt. Can't really fault them for this because they're designed for outdoor use and they are amazing at that.
Only other complaint is that the logo / signature kinda digs into one of my feet, the other is fine. My feet aren't even so it's probably my foots fault but it could be a defective shoe, who knows.
I have a pair of Jayas and wear them ALL the time I am outside! They are great for the beach as well as jogs in the neighborhood. These are the most awesome shoes ever existed! I paid $90 for mine from REI. I am in for two pairs at this price for myself and one pair each for my sister and her daughter. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT Christmas gift!!!!
@stipo: Funny you say that. I have a pair that I use exclusively in the gym. I use them on the elliptical and I love them. I've never had any problem with discomfort, itching, or anything like that. Since I started my PF has gone completely away: I don't know is that is from the footwear or something else, but I think the more natural gait that these lead to.
I have heard some people get pushback from gym management about them being "unsafe" in a gym. Unless they make you wear steel toed shoes, if some idiot (including yourself) drops a 40 lb weight on your foot you are going to be in trouble, regular gym shoes or FiveFingers, regardless. I joined a new gym a couple of months ago and nobody has even said anything about them.
Sizes are limited, and you probably want to be sure you get the right ones. Here is a link to how to measure your feet for them. It worked well for me.
My niece had a pair of these when we went white-water rafting and I thought they were very cool. I've always been looking for something more comfortable to wear when I go swimming and to water parks. However, it appears these aren't the ideal, waterproof choice if they smell when wet, etc. At least this sale made me do my homework on them so I could truly see if Vibram had a good pool shoe. Oh, well! I'll have to make another excuse to buy a pair some day!
I throw mine in the washer. I have used them to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro. Yes, they smelled after that, but now they are fresh and clean. I am not sure what kind of funk you guys have going on with your feet, but my washing machine cured mine...
@csunwold: My dog did the same thing
@kazz22: If you rinse them and dry them in open air (like any water shoe), it isn't really a problem!
Great deal. I know people who swear by the Bikilas as an all purpose model, but my excellent experiences with these shoes have been in the KSO and Komodosport.
If you can, I recommend dropping into a shoe store to try on a few pairs before you snatch these up. Correct sizing is very important, so just ignore any guilt you feel taking up a sales rep's time when you know you aren't buying.
@zetalidan: I usually just throw mine in the wash and then let them air dry. They can get pretty rank if I let them go for a couple months without a wash (or if I introduce some extra-smelly foreign bacteria from rental rock climbing shoes). In those situations I soak them overnight in water with a handful of denture tablets (which are made to kill odorous bacteria and remove dirt/stains). If I'm not feeling lazy I give the footbeds a quick scrub with an old toothbrush and some soap. After that it's into the laundry. I think this method is safer for the shoes than some, and it has never failed me.
@zetalidan: I spilt some gas on a pair of gloves once. My fiance gently washed them with a water/vinegar solution and then had them sit in a ziplock bag with baking soda for about a day or 2. Not sure if it'll work for these, but thought I'd mention it.
@zetalidan: Hey, any luck with your smelly vibrams?

Southern Hospitality, Wrapped Up
Below the Mason-Dixon, Christmas comes in bite-size portions, baked to box and share
FOREVER BOUND UP in my memories of Christmas down South are visions of marathon baking, of cookies cooling by the hundreds on wire racks before going into airtight tins marked "FHB" ("Family Hold Back").
About half of what my mother and I baked was given to neighbors, tied up with red ribbon and sprigged with holly or mistletoe. The rest landed on tables—at home, at clubs—laid with linen and then with platters upon platters of food, everything bite-size, the easier to sip tea or coffee, eggnog or mulled wine with.
My remembrance of Christmases past is hardly unique; Southern friends I queried all recalled frenzied bouts of baking. For cookbook author James Villas, Christmas meant "tins and tins and tins of cheese biscuits, nutty fingers, jelly treats, pecan tassies, fruitcake cookies, lemon bars, sugared pecans, pulled mints and bourbon balls." His mother's rule? "If you can't eat it, I don't make it."
Martha Jenkins, owner of Kitchenworks, Chapel Hill, N.C.'s go-to source for Christmas linens, cookie cutters and fancy pans, said she can still see her mother making "miniature pecan muffins for all her friends, and rum balls rolled in confectioners' sugar." Growing up along the James River in Virginia, Maria Harrison Reuge, a former Gourmet magazine editor, celebrated Christmas Eve with a feast at home; Christmas Day was for visiting, with plates of "Moldy Mice"—sesame cookies cloaked in confectioners' sugar—taken along as gifts. What Savannah, Ga.-based food historian Damon Lee Fowler recalls are the tons of pecan-cheese wafers and Graham cracker-coconut-pecan bars his mother made for church receptions.
The South has always taken an openhanded approach to the holiday. Whereas the Puritan settlers of Massachusetts viewed it as either a sober religious occasion or just another workday, in Colonial Williamsburg, as in the South Carolina/Georgia Lowcountry and up and down the Mississippi from Memphis to New Orleans, Christmas was a time of conviviality, of family reunions, of doors flung open to friends and neighbors. For Virginian George Washington, Christmas at Mount Vernon began at dawn with a fox hunt and ended with a staggering spread of hams, beef, turkey, goose, oysters, mince pies, wine and rum punches.
The Civil War put an end to all-stops-out Christmas feasts. By the opening decades of the 20th century, though, ladies who had boasted that they "didn't know how to boil water" were learning to bake. With no servants to help (or at best only one or two), multicourse dinners were downsized to open houses where arrays of nibbles, a balance of savory and sweet, suited guests fine.
Gift-giving was transformed, too—by the Great Depression and then by World War II rationing. Lucky the neighbor or relative back then who received a tin of home-baked cookies or cheese coins. And lucky the recipient today. In my neck of the woods, we practice the tradition of toasting the season with "y'all come" open houses. The recipes that follow are all easy make-aheads, all welcome gifts. You needn't be a Southerner to enjoy them—or share them.
—Ms. Anderson is the author of more than 20 cookbooks. These recipes were adapted from her latest, "From a Southern Oven" (Wiley).
Tidewater Cinnamon Cakes
In early Virginia, roll-and-cut cookies like these were called "cakes." They have a unique floral sweetness thanks to the addition of rose water, a flavoring popular in the Colonial era that is once again gaining favor. Look for it in specialty groceries or online. You can order cookie cutters and other holiday bakeware at kitchenworksinc.com.
Hands-On time: 40 minutes Total Time: 1 hour Makes: About 3 dozen
4 to 4 1/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (no substitute)
1 cup sugar
1½ teaspoons rose water (see note above)
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water
2 tablespoons sugar mixed with ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup finely chopped blanched almonds
What To Do
1. Sift 4 cups flour, baking powder and salt onto piece of wax paper and set aside along with extra 1/3 cup flour.
2. Cream butter, sugar and rose water in large electric mixer bowl, first at low speed, then at high, until fluffy-light, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
3. With mixer at low speed, add sifted dry ingredients, 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition only enough to incorporate. If dough seems sticky, beat in enough of extra 1/3 cup flour to make stiff but manageable dough. Do not overbeat, as cookies will be tough if you do.
4. Divide dough into four more or less equal parts, shape each into ball, flatten and wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
5. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spritz several baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
6. Roll dough, one chilled package at a time, about 1/8 inch thick between lightly floured sheets of wax paper. Using floured 3-inch round cutter, cut into rounds. Gather scraps, gently reroll, and cut. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll.)
7. Space cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets, and brush each with egg wash, taking care not to dribble it on baking sheets. Sprinkle cookies lightly with cinnamon-sugar, then chopped almonds, and gently pat nuts into dough.
8. Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, on middle oven shelf until lightly browned around edges, 12-14 minutes.
9. Transfer cookies at once to wire racks and cool to room temperature. Store in airtight canisters between sheets of wax paper.
Benne Sticks
"Benne" is what sesame seeds are called in the Lowcountry, particularly in and around Charleston, S.C. To toast the sesame seeds, spread in an ungreased pie pan and set on the middle shelf of an oven preheated to 275 degrees until pale amber, 8-10 minutes, stirring seeds once or twice to redistribute. Cool before using.
Hands-On time: 45 minutes Total Time: 1 hour Makes: About 12 dozen
1¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
¼ cup lightly toasted benne seeds (see note above)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pats
3 tablespoons cold lard (not vegetable shortening), diced
¼ cup ice water
What To Do
1. Combine flour, benne, cheese, salt and cayenne in large shallow bowl. Scatter butter and lard on top, then, with pastry blender or two knives, cut in until texture resembles lentils. Add ice water, forking flour mixture briskly, until soft dough forms. Shape into ball, flatten, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes.
2. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough in half, and roll one piece at a time on lightly floured surface into a 9-inch square about 1/8-inch-thick.
3. Using a ruler as a guide and a pastry cutter, cut dough into strips about 3/8-inch-wide. Now cut each strip into 3-inch lengths.
4. Arrange strips 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, on middle oven shelf until very lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
5. Transfer at once to wire racks and cool to room temperature. Serve with cocktails or put out on an open-house buffet.
Pecan-Cheddar Pennies
A new spin on an Old South classic, these savory, spicy cocktail snacks get a boost of richness from ground pecans. During the holidays, you can make a big batch of dough, roll it into logs, chill or freeze, then slice and bake as needed. If you're grinding the pecans in a food processor, pulse just until the texture resembles kosher salt—any longer and you'll have paste. For ½ cup ground pecans, you'll need about ½ cup nuts.
Hands-On time: 25 minutes Total Time: 8 hour Makes: About 5 dozen
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pats, plus 3 tablespoons, at room temperature
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika or pimentón (smoky Spanish paprika)
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup finely ground pecans (see note above)
1½ cups all-purpose flour
What To Do
1. Cream butter, cheese, salt, paprika, nutmeg and cayenne in food processor by alternately pulsing and churning until smooth. Pulse in pecans, then flour, but only until dough comes together (no longer, or cheese pennies will be tough).
2. Divide dough in half and shape into two logs about 7½ inches long and 1½ inches in diameter. Wrap each snugly in foil and refrigerate overnight or, if you prefer, freeze. (Dough logs will keep, frozen, for about 4 months.)
3. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to 350 degrees. With sharpest knife, slice dough into rounds about ¼-inch-thick and space 1½ inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
4. Slide onto middle oven shelf and bake until pennies feel firm, 7-10 minutes. They should not brown.
5. Transfer at once to wire racks, cool to room temperature and serve. Or layer in airtight containers between sheets of foil or wax paper, store on a cool, dry shelf and serve within 2 weeks.
Moldy Mice
This cookie recipe was adapted from the family cookbook of Maria Harrison Reuge, who grew up along Virginia's James River. The cookie dough contains just a tablespoon of granulated sugar; the sweetness comes from a generous coating of confectioners' sugar.
Total Time: 40 minutes Makes: About 2½ dozen
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup sesame seeds
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
What To Do
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease large baking sheet and set aside.
2. Cream butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in medium-size bowl with hand electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add flour and sesame seeds and beat at moderate speed only enough to combine.
3. Roll dough, about ½ tablespoon at a time, into logs the size of your thumb, and space 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
4. Slide onto middle oven shelf and bake until firm and golden brown around edges, about 15 minutes.
5. Place confectioners' sugar in small paper bag. As soon as cookies come out of oven, drop into bag, several at a time, and gently roll in sugar until thoroughly coated, taking care not to burn yourself.
6. Carefully transfer sugared cookies to wire rack set over wax paper and cool to room temperature. Store between sheets of wax paper in airtight container. If necessary, dust with more confectioners' sugar just before serving.

|When Picard accepts Worf's offer to become his cha'DIch, Picard accepts by speaking in Klingon, then translates it into English. Who is he translating it for, exactly? Not Worf, not himself... it's as if he thinks somebody is watching or something!
It's a minor thing, but Picard orders the ship to head for "the first city of the Klingon Imperial Empire." Isn't "Imperial Empire" rather redundant?
Kahlest declared that "Mogh was loyal to the Emperor!" What Emperor would that be? We've since discovered in the episode "Rightful Heir" that there is no Emperor in the Klingon Empire, and hasn't been for centuries. Rather, it is governed by the Chancellor.

What is the difference between 詰まらない and 詰らない? Are they both valid words? Are they pronounced the same and do they have the same meaning?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
As the comment indicates, it is possible that the first is tumaranai while the second is naziranai, the negative of the verb nazir-. While this is technically possible, it is not so simple. First, the kanzi for nazir- is not so common and few people will be able to read it. Second, tumaranai may be written as either 詰まらない or 詰らない. (For the rest of this response, I will be ignoring the nazir- reading.)
To expand on the second point, this is a matter of okurigana (送り仮名). There are a number of similar words in which there are multiple spellings: okonau (行なう, 行う), kotowaru (断わる, 断る), arawareru (現われる, 現れる) etc. This is documented by the Agency of Cultural Affairs here. This is a stylistic difference.

Transatlantic Council on Migration
Transatlantic Council on Migration
Recent Activity
Recent Activity
This volume from MPI's Transatlantic Council on Migration aims to fill the analytical gap regarding the question of what greater global cooperation on governing the flow of international migrants could achieve. The book focuses on a set of fundamental questions: What are the key steps to building a better, more cooperative system of governance? What are the goals that can be achieved through greater international cooperation? And, most fundamentally, who (or what) is to be governed?
This Council Statement from the sixth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration provides an overview of the Council's discussions on how states can work together to move beyond the mantra of "global governance," and begin taking concrete actions in pursuit of a shared agenda of safe, secure, legal, and orderly migration.
The global economic downturn and rising debt levels in all European countries have put immigration at the forefront of many debates surrounding public spending. This report presents a diversity of findings with regard to European governments' responses to immigrant integration organization, financing, and programs.
Information and technology are centerpieces of a new border architecture that seeks to respond to the competing demands of facilitating mobility and managing cross-border risks while remaining cost-efficient and respectful of rights and privacy. This report shows how governments must approach border management systems to ensure properly balanced development.
This book takes stock of the impact of the crisis on immigrant integration in Europe and the United States. It assesses where immigrants have lost ground, using evidence such as levels of funding for educational programs, employment rates, trends toward protectionism, public opinion, and levels of discrimination.
This statement from the fourth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration focuses on immigrant integration and how to shift focus back onto integration as a continuous and interactive process, even amidst the tumult of a persistent economic crisis.
The book focuses on three case studies: the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. The volume includes chapters analyzing public opinion and media coverage of immigration issues in each country. Additional chapters propose strategies for unblocking opposition to thoughtful, effective immigration-related reforms.

In quantum physics, particles are also waves. Larger particles have shorter wave lengths, and macroscopic objects have extremely short wave lengths so that the wave aspect can be ignored, and classical physics works fine at those levels. The bigger the object, the shorter the wave length.
So: What is the wave length of the biggest "object" of all: the universe? Has this ever been calculated? Does it have any meaning to talk about wave lengths at those levels?

Important Update (10.8.12) on Financial Conflicts of Interest in Sponsored Research
Important Update:
NIH has just released a policy clarification statement with regard to the disclosure of travel information as required under the final rule regarding financial conflicts of interest in federally funded research (42 CFR Part 50, Subpart F). NIH has announced that institutions have the discretion to apply the $5,000 de minimis threshold for disclosure to reimbursed or sponsored travel (when aggregated per entity). HMS is applying the de minimis. NIH also confirmed that the initial disclosure, which must be made no later than the time of application for PHS funding, must include all significant financial interests related to the investigators institutional responsibilities from the previous 12 months, including sponsored or reimbursed travel.
The text of the notice is available here: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-13-004.html.
Implementation of PHS Conflict of Interest Regulations
The Public Health Service (PHS) issued new regulations covering the obligations of its awardee institutions to identify and address investigator financial conflicts of interest (fCOI) in PHS-sponsored research. These new regulations have an effective date of August 24, 2012 and apply to anyone responsible for the design, conduct and reporting of PHS-supported research. As a result of its broad application, the new regulation will likely impact the vast majority of HMS/HSDM researchers.
Instructions for Investigators who submit grants through HMS Sponsored Programs Administration.
1. Completion of Your HMS Outside Activities Report: All HMS Quad, HSDM, VA, Postdocs and Investigators are required to annually report all outside activities and financial interests, as well as the acquisition or discovery of a new outside activity within thirty (30) days to HMS through the Outside Activities Reporting system (OAR system). The system can be accessed at the following link:
2. Updating Your Outside Activities Report: If you have completed your 2011 report, you will have to update your report in the OAR system and certify it for the 2012 calendar year. The OAR system allows an investigator to indicate when a financial relationship has terminated and to update relevant information about a previously disclosed relationship.
In addition, Investigators are required to update the OAR system within thirty (30) days of identifying or acquiring a new financial interest that meets the reporting requirements. Failure to update your financial interests may require HMS to engage in an institutional retrospective review, and, potentially, mitigation procedures required by the regulations. This required review is could be time-consuming, costly and encumbering to ongoing work under a PHS award.
3. Reporting your Sponsored/Reimbursed Travel: If you are a PHS-supported investigator, you must also report your travel sponsored and/or reimbursed by industry through the OAR system. You are strongly encouraged to enter this information immediately and on an ongoing basis. The 2012 PHS regulations require investigators to report the occurrence of any reimbursed travel or sponsored travel by an entity (other than excluded entities) including the purpose of the trip, the identity of the sponsor/organizer and the destination.
4. Complete your supplementary Disclosure Statement with each proposal submission after August 24, 2012. The Disclosure Statement provides HMS with additional information pertinent to an institutional assessment regarding whether reported financial interests may be (i) relevant to the proposed research and (ii) directly and significantly affect the design, conduct and reporting of the research and, therefore, pose a fCOI. The supplemental disclosure statement will be in a fillable pdf form. This form will fully replace the paper forms previously utilized.
• For Principal Investigators: If you are a principal investigator on a grant awarded after August 24th, you are also responsible for identifying any individual that meets the definition of "investigator" for the award (Any individual responsible for the design, conduct and reporting of the research) and for notifying your SPA administrator of changes to your investigator team during the term of the award.
5. Complete your Required Training Through Citi: Any Investigator working under a PHS award is required to complete the HMS Citi training every four years. This training is a regulatory requirement and will cover the 2012 PHS regulations and implementation of these regulations at HMS. The training is now available for completion and can be accessed immediately at the following link:
1) Log-in:
A CITI account is required to access the training, and you should use your existing account. If you do not have an account, this link will also allow you to create an account. Please register with your HMS email address and provide your HUID.
When registering, please select Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Dental Medicine from the list of participating institutions.
2) You will need to enroll in the CITI Conflict of Interest Course. To enroll:
• Please select "Conflicts of Interest" when it asks which category or categories of courses you need to take
3) The "Conflict of Interest – Stage 1" Course will be displayed in the "My Courses" section. Click on "Enter" to begin.
4) To access the course content, you will need to sign the Integrity Assurance Statement. Once acknowledged, you're now able to begin the Conflict of Interest Training modules.
5) Complete all three COI Training modules:
a) Financial Conflicts of Interests
b) Institutional Responsibilities
c) Mandatory PHS Required Training on Research Conflicts of Interest at Harvard Medical School
You will need a score of 80% or higher on Modules 1 and 2, to successfully complete the training and receive credit. If you do not score 80% or higher, you will need to re-take the quiz portion of the relevant module until you reach 80%. There is no quiz for module 3.
To confirm you have completed each module, you can find your results by clicking on "See a list of all modules completed" located in the main menu.
Why This Training is Important:
Individuals who are currently participating in PHS-funded projects or cooperative agreements, and who do not complete the mandatory training by August 24, will become ineligible to work on those projects at the next progress report. Individuals who have submitted a new application for funding will not be able to participate, or receive any funds, until the training is completed. Individuals who are not currently participating in a PHS-funded project will be ineligible to join such a project until the training is completed.
ARI is willing to make additional live education on this topic available to any departments, faculty members, administrators and managers who desire live instruction and an opportunity to ask specific questions in an open forum. If you are interested in scheduling a session, please contact Cindi Hirst, Conflict of Interest Coordinator in ARI at 617-432-1343 or email@example.com.
If you have questions about the online disclosure form, the HMS policy, the 2012 PHS regulations, the HMS reporting process or the Citi Training requirement, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 617-432-1343.

Is there any library available that can tokenize source code written in different programming languages (java/C/C++)? (can possible identify part of it like starting and ending of a function, which are identifiers). I do not want to parse the source code, that can be overly complex. Moreover the source code may not be error free. Thanking in advance.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You can tokenize source code using a lexical analyzer (or lexer, for short) like flex (under C) or JLex (under Java). The easiest way to get grammars to tokenize Java, C, and C++ may be to use (subject to licensing terms) the code from an open source compiler using your favorite lexer. Even if you find the licensing conditions too onerous, they should be educational to look through...
However, you still won't be able to identify the beginning and end of a function without parsing.
Not in all cases. Consider, for example, how parsing C or C++ code changes in the presence of

I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
So there is a reason that I've been gone from OC.net for a while ('cause I know you all wondered, right? )
Things have been very hectic lately, because I have just started my new job... as Youth Director of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta. I would humbly like to ask all of you, my friends here on OC.net, to please pray fervently for me as I am beginning my new job... there is so much work to be done!

Word for the Weekend: August 29
Image: Shirtoid
The summer days are winding down and the ordinals of Sundays in Ordinary Time increases - this week to the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Time to prepare to hear this Sunday's Word!
You'll find the scriptures for August 29th and commentary on them here. And for those shepherding young ones to Mass, you'll find hints to help children prepare to hear the Word here.
Both the first reading (Sirach) and the gospel (Luke) teach us about humility. The second reading (Hebrews) is quite different, showing us the glory of what we approach in faith, in Christ.
Who among us wants to be humble?
How much of our lives are spent insuring that we rise above the level of the humble?
Do any of us desire to be humbled? by God? by others? by circumstance?
What is it? and do we want it?

Humility for me is the most right place to be!!! Sometimes the shock of it can surprise me, but once i put my defenses down, realize it is from God and for my own good, i see it for the gift it is and the peace it brings. As a follower it is what i strive for!ReplyDelete
Beautifully stated, JW: thank you!ReplyDelete
- MichelleAugust 28, 2010 at 8:53 PM
(my thoughts come a little "late"... )ReplyDelete
Humility, to me, is coming to the realization and being fully aware that I am nothing without God-
and feeling tremendous relief and a peace that is so great and so huge that it is almost ominous-
but so very good-
ominous because of the unfamiliarity, the unknown, the fragility.
Humility: so fragile yet so very strong.
Unfortunately, the humbleness I feel most of the time is shaded-
by negativity- hurt- judgement- humiliation- embarrassment-
I feel humble, but whatever good there is, is slapped away, stepped on, spit on-
my confidence is shattered and laughed at-
this is my reality, for now- I accept that, but only to help me be more aware, to learn and grow and move forward-
So, my prayer and hope is that I am able to not be controlled by that which pulls me down so deep-
so far and so often that most of my energy and time is spent climbing back up-
to the goal of that peace-
where I can finally feel a calm and freedom...
Never too late to comment, Michelle - thank you.ReplyDelete

- Overview
- Options
- Video
- Specifications
Based on guitars first introduced around the same time as the OM, the Collings C10 is a leaner alternative, with the narrow waist and small upper bout resulting in a precise, focused response. Of all our acoustic models, the C10 is perhaps the easiest for electric guitarists to adapt to, thanks in part to the more rounded neck profile. The small oval neck heel is ideally suited to the optional cutaway, which allows unrestricted access to the upper frets. With its unique shape and asymmetrical headstock's lines echoed in the curvilinear pickguard, C10 models offer a welcome alternative for those who find that most small acoustic guitars look too much alike.
Standard Features Include:
- Select sitka spruce top
- East Indian rosewood back and sides
- Simple ivoroid rosette
- Grained ivoroid top/back/neck/peghead binding
- Black/white wood purfling with maple/rosewood/maple backstrip
- Pre-war scalloped bracing
- Tortoise-style celluloid pickguard
- High gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish
- Mahogany neck
- Double-bound "Haircut" headstock
- 15 degree headstock angle
- Ebony peghead overlay with inlaid Collings logo
- Ebony fingerboard with ebony straight-style bridge
- Mortise and tenon hybrid neck joint
- 20 Frets, neck joins the body at the 14th fret
- Medium-Fat "C" neck shape and 2 3/16" spacing
- 14"-26" Compound fingerboard radius
- 1 11/16" Bone nut and drop-in saddle
- 25 1/2" Scale length

I love all kinds of street food because it is clean, simple, and unpretentious. Ethnic food is pretty hard to come by here in the North, but you can get by. Although you can't get a tomatillo anywhere in the city, canned or fresh, the selection of Asian groceries is not too bad. I have never dabbled in Vietnamese food at all, but this recipe in Vegetarian Times looked simple enough and I had the ingredients on hand (though I did not make it very spicy for the kids). I like the idea of a pickle or slaw to ratchet up a sandwich a couple of notches and will have to explore this concept more in the future.

Hey, that does look good! I have evrything but the daikon radish. Frankly, I'm not sure what that is! I can get tomatillos by the boatload but it's a struggle to find asian produce. Ah, well. I'm going to make some version of this.

(CNN) -- A landslide buried 83 workers in a mining area in the Tibet Autonomous Region on Friday morning, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing local authorities.
The incident occurred about 6 a.m. in Maizhokunggar County, east of Lhasa, the regional capital. The victims, including two Tibetans, were workers from Tibet Huatailong Mining Development Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of the China National Gold Group Corp., the news agency said.
The landslide extended three kilometers (almost two miles) and was made up of about 2 million cubic meters (2.6 million cubic yards) of mud, rock and other debris, the regional government said.

Top 10 Ways Parents Can Help with Homework
3 of 11
Establish a Schedule
Create a regular schedule, allowing for adequate study and free time. Most kids are most productive earlier in the evening and not too close to bedtime, but others need a little after-school play break and dinner, or at least an energizing snack, before hitting the books. The most important thing is to establish a routine that works for your child.

I am having difficulty in understand the meaning of Tzadik. Maimonides says "One whose merit surpasses his iniquity is a tzadik". I have trouble in understanding this sentence. Can someone explain the meaning of the word, what Maimonides means by this sentence? Also how does one become a Tzadik?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The statement of Maimonides to which you refer is from his Yad Hachazaka, Repentence [or: Return] chapter 3. There he writes (in my own loose translation):
How to become a tzadik, you ask? Do what God wants, and avoid doing what he doesn't want.
The Alter Rebbe of Lubavitch, Rabbi Shneur Zalman, explains in the beginning of Tanya that if you take the Rambam's words (which are also Rashi and Tosfos' words) at face value, they create several contradictions.
First, they contradict Rabba, who called himself a beinoni despite the fact that he never stopped learning, to the extent that the Angel of Death had trouble killing him. If the requirement to be a tzaddik was merely a majority of merits, then Rabba calling himself a beinoni would be blatantly false, since his sins (if any) were certainly less than his merits (and would therefore make him a tzadik).
Second, they contradict the words of the gemara in Yevamos 20a and in Niddah 12a, namely, that one who commits a single sin, (specifically, even a d'rabanan) is called a Rasha.
Therefore, the Baal HaTanya explains that when we say a tzaddik is someone who has a majority of merits, it is a "shem hamushal" - a "borrowed name" - from the concept of reward and punishment, because a person is judged (in Beis Din shel Maalah) after the majority of his deeds, and is pronounced a "tzaddik" when his merits exceed his failings.
However, a "real tzaddik" is someone who either has no yetzer hara (evil inclination) at all (this is the "tzaddik v'tov lo", or "tzaddik gomur"), or whose yetzer hara is so subjugated to the will of his yetzer tov (good inclination) that it never even "voices its opinion", and is completely dormant (this is the "tzaddik v'ra lo", or "tzaddik she'aino gomur").
According to the Tanya, only certain souls have the ability to become a tzaddik, so not every soul can. However, someone who works on themselves and rises to the level of a "beinoni" can be granted a "tzaddik soul" by heaven.
This is part of a very long hemshech in Tanya which deserves more attention than I've been able to give it here. At the very least, the first chapter should be read, to see this in context. Excellent translation and explanation below.

RPA: Four steps to managing and tracking reusable assets
June 06, 2012 - MMH Editorial
At any given time, a manufacturer can likely tell you the quantity of bulk items available for processing, and a distributor can tell you the number of trucks it has on the road and the number in for repairs. However not every company can tell you how many reusable assets, including pallets and containers, they have out at retail stores, in the warehouse or waiting for repairs.
These reusables are recorded on a company's books as assets, yet often they are not tracked and managed the same as other assets because historically packaging is often treated as an expendable commodity.
If you're not tracking and managing your reusable assets, someone else is likely benefitting from your investment. There is a strong secondary market for reusable containers, with resellers and regrinders capitalizing on companies that do not properly monitor their reusable assets.
Implementing an effective system to track and manage your assets requires four steps:
· Understand the issues
· Understand the available asset management systems
· Develop the processes & KPIs necessary to create actionable and enforceable data
· Obtain stakeholder alignment, educate the supply chain and implement a discipline to ensure compliance
Since 1999, the RPA (formerly the RPCC) has been a collaboration between supply chain partners to promote the environmental, safety, and economic benefits of reusable packaging. It is a trade association of leading manufacturers, poolers, distributors, retailers, educators, and others with a commitment to reusable packaging systems and the message of re-use.

An acquaintance of mine who is very passionate about scotch whisky was over to Scotland this summer and through his contacts managed to get an "unofficial" tour of some distilleries after hours. He saw the use of anti-foaming agents in the washback or beer still phase. The fellow giving the tour explained that this substance is added to prevent foam from reaching the condensers (I think).
I was quite surprised to learn of this.
To my mind, I thought single malt scotch was made up of water, barley, yeast (and sometimes caramel for colouring).
Any body know anything about this?
I would think the addition of the anti-foaming agent could affect taste, but maybe not.

LAAF05: ESL Developing Comm S2 -2hr (2014-2015)

Writing activities include sentence, paragraph, essay, letter writing, note-taking and creative writing of dialogues, stories, plays, and poetry. Instructional activities to support the student in mastering the general content standards include, pre-teaching the language or vocabulary, activating prior knowledge, building background knowledge of the content class material, and developing learning strategies.

Exasperated and struggling to slice a hot dog, my dad mumbled under his breath a few months ago that he just needs to buy some quality knives. I'd like to get him some for Father's day, but I know nothing about kitchen knives and I'm running out of time. Can someone please point me in the right direction? What's good, what's bad? What are some trusted, quality brands? What is merely a matter of preference (ie color), what's related to quality/function (ie blade material)?
I'd love for someone to just tell me which one to buy...he's doesn't use the kitchen knives often, but it'd be worth the additional $60-100 to never again have to hassle with the junky walmart set. Something he can keep on the counter (no rainbow sets, something plain)
@whitneylc84: I'd usually recommend buying a decent chef's knife (or santoku) and a decent paring knife, that's pretty much what you'll end up using most of the time, and all you really need. I'd get a magnet strip and put it on the wall to hold them.
If you want a decent Chef's knife on a budget, get something like a Victorinox for $25 or so.

Would you see any use of a Trilean (True, False, ??)
Well first and foremost, I'm not a programmer, I am a civil engineer that does some programming and quite enjoy it.
Second and Second most, I'd like to claim rights to this amazing invention and call it TROLLEAN or DASSOUKIEAN.
Joking aside, on numerous times I run into variables that can only hold three values (let's cal them True, False, and Other.
For example, take a traffic intersection. It could be signalized, unsignalized, or non-controlled (aka no stop signs and no traffic lights). it would be dnice to define
TROLLEAN traffic_light = Other Other in this case represents non-controlled intersections.
Instead I find myself writing a code sequence to define that.

Please note that this is NOT intended to be a review post. Some of these I haven't even worn on my face or haven't tried more than once so I don't feel qualified to talk about their quality or lasting power. This is just intended to show color. I made it a point to let them all dry for at least 10-15 minutes on my arm before taking the pictures so the ones that might oxidize would have a chance to do so first. I also tried to do heavy but semi-blended long swatches with an unblended blob at the top to give you a better idea of color.
Here goes! Three sets of foundation swatches first, then one set of concealers and correctors.
Left to right: Boujois Healthy Mix #51, Clinique BB Cream #1, Estee Lauder Double Wear #1C1, Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream #1, Neutrogena Healthy Skin #10, Revlon Colorstay Ivory, Revlon Colorstay Whipped Ivory
Left to right: Burberry Velvet #2, Burberry Sheer Luminous #2, Chantecaille Future Skin Porcelain, Chantecaille Just Skin (tinted moisturizer) Alabaster, CoverFX NaturalFX E0, Dior Nude (2012 reformulation) #10, Giorgio Armani Maestro #2, Giorgio Armani Maestro #3
Left to right: Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer #2, Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 #110, Laura Mercier Silk Creme Soft Ivory, Make Up For Ever HD #110, Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet #15, Yves St. Laurent Touche Eclat #B10, Yves St. Laurent Touche Eclat #BR20
Regarding the dramatic shade range in concealers: I use the lighter ones on my face and the darker ones as undereye correctors/concealers. Please don't ask me how the Burberry one works on me, because I can't explain it, it just does somehow. :)
I hope this is helpful to some of you!

(I am pretty new to wordpress - am a C++ developer, not an html/css coder, but I am trying.)
I am having trouble figuring out how to make a home page that has blurbs about some of our products, etc and generally make something better than just a static page of text.
I want to have some pictures, perhaps a three columns or two columns of little bits of intro text that users can click on to go to other pages.
I am at a loss about how to do that. Do I need the widgets, or something? It is very unclear to me how to make it work.
I'll try to post some samples of what I am looking to do - but it really isn't all that fancy.
Some links to resources would be great - I am so new to this I don't know where to go for help or documentation. What I need is a simple "how to do this" tutorial.

David Thompson
The big chains only carry the big authors, so we small fry, especially mystery authors, owe these plucky independent book stores a big debt of thanks for keeping our names in the public eye. Actually no, that's the passive voice. Let me rephrase that: I would like to thank every bookshop and bookstore owner that has ever hosted a reading for me or invited me to be part of a panel. I really appreciate it and I am in your debt.
Mr Thompson, my best wishes to your friends, colleagues and family. You will be missed.

I'm not very experienced with
biblatex, but I hope that the answer to this question will be relatively simple. I'm using the
authoryear style, and my references in the reference list appear like the following:
Wilson, R. T. and E. J. Milton (2010). Automated Selection of Suitable Atmospheric Correction Sites. In: Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society Annual Conference, September 2010, Cork, Ireland.
This looks great, apart from the fact that the first author and the second author have their initials in a different order. For the first author it is
Surname, Initials and the second author is
Initials, Surname.
So, my question is threefold: Is there a simple option to change this? If not, can I simply modify the
.bbx file to change this? If not, is there another
biblatex style already available that does this without changing the rest of the reference style too much?

Helping a Reluctant Reader
Q: My daughter hates to read. Last year she flunked out of eighth grade. How can I help?
A: Your daughter must feel great embarrassment if she cannot read well. No wonder she hates to read.
You may want to ease her into success by reading with her. You can read a portion aloud, then have her do the same. You will quickly note any phonic problems, vision problems, length of attention span and other factors that are important areas for becoming a successful reader.
Keep material that's interesting but easy-to-read around the house for her to pick up in her spare time. A romance novel or magazine might increase her motivation to read. If she flunked a grade, most school systems offer remedial instruction. She should participate in any after-school or summer programs that could be helpful to her.
Another approach to increasing her motivation to read is to have her read to younger children, especially in local library programs or through her school tutoring programs. Many students who tutor younger children gain confidence in their reading and suddenly feel that they can tackle anything.

The 6 Most Depressing IMDb Pages
The Internet Movie Database isn't just any database. In those lists of films is a collection of stories of countless performers, with the year-by-year ups and downs as they struggled to make it in show business.
And some of those stories are really, really depressing.
#6. Leslee Bremmer aka "Shower Girl"
We're not trying to imply that appearing as an unnamed character like "Pizza Delivery Guy" or "Cute Naked Girl" (boy, some credits writer was trying to make a move there) is more demeaning than cleaning septic tanks. But we have to believe that these actors and actresses dreamed of bigger things. Maybe not playing James Bond, but at least playing "James."
But sometimes you wind up like Leslee Bremmer. An occasional boxing ring girl, Miss Hot Rod Show World and Miss Golden State 100, Leslee appeared in nine fictional films during the 80s, including the gifts-to-adolescent-boy classics Hardbodies and My Chauffeur. Her characters?
The range really does take your breath away.
She did land one named part, "Sandy" in 1985's School Spirit. But, alas, her inexperience at such a lofty role came through. As the IMDb "Goofs" section of School Spirit reveals: "In several scenes actress Leslee Bremmer can be seen wearing a necklace with the letter "L" on it, despite the fact that her character's name is Sandy."
#5. Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle
If you've never heard of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, a look at his IMDb page will give you an idea that back in the early days of film, this guy was a gigantic star. He starred in more than 100 shorts, with almost 50 in 1914 alone (think about that schedule the next time you spend a whole afternoon painstakingly crafting a single message board post). By 1921, he was earning $1,000,000 a year making features for Paramount, back when that was ridiculous money.
A dog at the dinner table? Old movies sure are zany.
Shortly before their deaths, John Belushi, Chris Farley and John Candy were all considered for the role of Arbuckle, the original "Live Fat, Die Young" screen comic. This has led some to suggest that the role is cursed, although this particular curse is probably more closely related to Big Macs and/or cocaine.
If you look at the IMDb credits, right after 1921, you see this huge hole in Fatty's list. All at once, like flipping a switch, the parts dried up. What happened?
Well, Arbuckle and two friends spent Labor Day weekend in San Francisco. Virginia Rappe, an actress, became ill at a party in Arbuckle's hotel room and died four days later of an infection caused by a ruptured bladder.
The newspapers went nuts, and rumors ranged from the portly Arbuckle crushing Rappe during sex to some non-slapstick activity with a Coke bottle. Arbuckle was tried for manslaughter three times, with shaky prosecution evidence and witness coercion leading to two hung juries and finally an acquittal, with the last jury even issuing him a written apology for the "great injustice." For Arbuckle, he must have thought that finally, the nightmare was over.
It wasn't. Hollywood went ahead and banned Arbuckle from moviemaking and had his films withdrawn from circulation. Mind you, this happened less than a week after he was acquitted.
Though that ban would be lifted within a year (under heavy public protest), the studios weren't exactly lining up to sign him, with his IMDb page telling the sad story. There's the silence of 1922-23, a small part in a lost Valentino film in 1924, the same year he began directing under the pseudonym "William Goodrich." In 1925, there was a small uncredited part in a film by his old partner, Buster Keaton.
And then, the saddest damn listing in the whole database. In the film Listen Lena, he plays "Fat man with strategically covered face--(uncredited) (unconfirmed)."
OK, he returned to acting shortly before his 1933 death (he actually died after a party celebrating a new contract), but... Jesus. An uncredited and unconfirmed fat man with strategically covered face. If that doesn't say it all, the poor fat bastard.
#4. Maurice Evans - From Shakespeare to Bewitched
If you could graph the dignity of the following roles, you can pretty clearly see the point at which the graph starts to look like a stock market crash:
King Richard II
The Puzzler
Samantha's father on Bewitched
Dr. Zaius
That would be the career of Maurice Evans. If Cracked were to run an article called "The 8 Most Impressive Broadway Careers," then Maurice... OK, there isn't a shot in Hell we'd ever run that. But still, Evans was among the premier stage actors of his generation, first receiving acclaim in London, then starring in more than a dozen Shakespeare, Shaw and Ibsen plays on Broadway. He also produced several plays, including the 1954 Tony Award-winner, before graduating to Hollywood to pursue a film career. You can see above how that turned out.
One of these three men played Hamlet four times on Broadway.
While most famous for his stints on Batman, Bewitched and Planet of the Apes, he also got paychecks for appearing on Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, The Six Million Dollar Man, Mod Squad and many more.
Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius.
Sure, his TV credits also include some Shakespeare as well as a few quality Hallmark Hall of Fames, but we'll make you a deal: every time one of those comes on the air we'll send you a dollar, and every time Bewitched or Dr. Zaius appears, you send us one. Hell, we'll even throw in his appearances in Terror in the Wax Museum and The Canterbury Ghost and see who comes out ahead.
