Posted 3:15 PM 3/17/2013 : Loved ones honored at Race for the Cure
TUCSON-Crowds cheered on survivors and their families and friends as they crossed the finish line at the U of A Sunday during the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
Thousands turned out to show their support in the fight against breast cancer.
For many there, it was much more than a race, but a way to honor a loved one who has suffered from the disease like Diana Camacho's mom.
"She was a survivor for seven years, and she got it back and eventually she passed away 6 years ago," said Camacho.
It's been hard on Camacho and her family.
"She was pretty much my everything," said Camacho.
But she finds comfort in racing for the cure.
"I just want them to find a cure for everybody that is facing the same problem," said Camacho.
According to breast the American Cancer Society, one in eight women and one in a thousand men will develop breast cancer.
That's what happened to Sonja Fritton's 35-year-old daughter.
"You think: 'my daughter has stage 3 breast cancer. She's going to die,'" said Fritton.
But Fritton is staying positive.
She walked in the Race for the Cure with friends who also had loved ones they honored.
"It gives you the strength to say that if she was tough enough to face all of this then I have to be tough too," said Camacho.

When we have dealt with your claim for benefit we will send you a decision letter. The letter shows the information we have used to work out your benefit and you should check it carefully.
If you think the decision is wrong, you can ask us to explain it. You should do this within one month of the date on our decision letter. We can explain our decision verbally, or if you want us to confirm it in writing we will send you a 'statement of reasons' explaining how we have worked out your benefit. We will post your 'statement of reasons' as soon as we can, and we will extend the one-month time limit you have for an appeal by the amount of time we take to send it.
After we have explained the decision if you still think it's wrong, we will review it for you. For most decisions, if you wish to appeal it can ultimately go to an independent tribunal who can override our decision.

I am not a big fan of rooibos.
I drank this tea by mistake…the cup was for my daughter, she wanted to try this one before me !…I took her mug in place of mine (full of Queen Catherine)
This tea is an exception…cteresa you won ! you found a rooibos I like ! sure there is strawberry and sure some raspberry as well, totally agree with you.I get the soft almonds and caramel notes.
And all these flavours are working fine together.
The dry leaf itself is noticeable it looks like little needles, so cute and rare.

A few simple tips can ensure your audience will scan your QR codes.
The momentum on QR codes continues, even with other mobile technologies moving in. Much to my surprise, a post I did a few months ago on QR codes was the most popular topic I wrote about all year.
Not wanting to be accused of being out of touch with my readers, here's a follow up with a few great reminders from Target Marketing.
1. Provide Instructions Near the QR Code
While use of QR codes is much more mainstream than this time last year, some people still don't know what they are. I was recently reminded of this when a person who is arguably a member of the CV marketing target audience sent me an e-mail asking if I knew about this "great new technology." Yikes.
Anyway, I digress. Simple instructions, e.g., copy that says, "Scan the QR Code with your smartphone" can help. You might also think about adding a visual that shows a smartphone pointing to the QR Code.
2. Give People an Incentive
As with any marketing tool, make sure you have a good reason to use it besides the "cool" factor. Think about how the QR code can make life easier for your audience — accessing a map or directions, contacting you or making an appointment. Then make sure to include the benefit on your printed materials to let people know what they'll gain from scanning the code.
3. Educate Your Audience Ahead of Time
Promote your QR codes in some of your other media channels. Think about a blog post or an online video that demonstrates how one uses a smartphone to scan QR Codes. Put one on your social media pages or in your email signature for a little while. Talk about them in your e-newsletter. Integrating information about your QR codes in these channels may increase usage on your printed pieces.
4. Shorten the Destination URL
This is similar to the importance of fast load times on your website. The more data that you have in a QR Code, the harder it may be to scan it quickly. Make sure to use a service that shortens your URLs before generating the QR Code.
If you have other tips that are working for you, share in the comments below.

Oh Vertical Search Engine, Where Art Thou?
You know when someone writes a post entitled 'On the increasing uselessness of Google' that all is not right in Web Land. Citing another blogger who ran into all sorts of junk when searching for a new dishwasher:
Google has become a snake that too readily consumes its own keyword tail. Identify some words that show up in profitable searches — from appliances, to mesothelioma suits, to kayak lessons — churn out content cheaply and regularly, and you're done. On the web, no-one knows you're a content-grinder.
The result, however, is awful. Pages and pages of Google results that are just, for practical purposes, advertisements in the loose guise of articles, original or re-purposed. It hearkens back to the dark days of 1999, before Google arrived, when search had become largely useless, with results completely overwhelmed by spam and info-clutter.
Well said, dishwasher-seeker. The first page of Google is no longer the clean, clear landscape it once was. Too many companies have realized that finding consumers with AdWords alone is like fighting a dragon with a dull-tipped sword, face on. Best to sneak around from behind and attack from a better place: hence, the raging popularity of so-called content strategy in online marketing.
It's not just SEO anymore, clearly. With content farms run by Demand Media and sketchy link-buying techniques, everyone is in a race to own keywords, and they'll do it any way they can. But what are consumers doing? That's right, they're getting wise and giving up. People are no longer looking on Google for answers, writes the Washington Post. They're using (gasp!) Twitter and (another gasp!) Facebook, putting out queries and requests for recommendations from friends — and getting exactly what they need.
So here's my proposal. To companies: Follow the consumer; find an authentic way to reach them via social media. To consumers: Know how to filter out the junk in Google results, and don't rely solely on your "friends" to solve your problems. To that next group of bright-eyed engineers or MBAs leaving school: build the framework for a series of vertical search engines, and put them in a central directory until everyone knows the destinations by heart. Searching for a new dishwasher? Then go to the Kitchen Appliance Search Site. Sometimes it's better to completely reinvent something — using a tried and true concept — then fix what's broken.
The Post notes that Microsoft thinks the next big thing is going to be social search — scouring data from user accounts to show up in basic search. Okay, that might work. But I think there's still a market out there for qualified advice, for "real" articles written by scholars, field experts, and yes even marketers and salespeople.

1 Institute of Biotechnology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310029, P.R. China
2 Laboratorium voor Microbiologie, Universiteit Gent, K. Ledeganckstraat 35, 9000, Belgium
Accepted: 06 Apr 2005
In October 2003, a necrotic symptom of new aetiology was observed on poinsettia leaves (Euphorbia pulcherrima cv. Fu-xing) at a flower nursery in the Zhejiang province of China. Tiny, pinpoint, water-soaked lesions scattered across the leaf surface, rapidly enlarged becoming yellow-to-tan. Spots often coalesced to form large, necrotic areas surrounded by a yellow halo, which at times extended into the lateral veins causing a blighted appearance (Fig. 1). No spots were observed on the coloured bracts. Bacterial exudates often formed on lesions, especially on the lower leaf surface (Fig. 2).
A bacterium was isolated from symptomatic leaves on nutrient agar (NA). Infiltration of tobacco leaves with the bacterial suspension resulted in typical hypersensitivity reactions within 24h. On YDC medium, colonies were smooth, round, convex and yellow after 48h. Classical bacteriological tests (Schaad et al., 2001) showed that the bacterium was a Gram negative, single rod, non-motile and positive for catalase and oxidase. It was obligately aerobic; producing levan from sucrose, mucoid growth on NA supplemented with 5% glucose and growing in nutrient broth containing 5% NaCl. It produced acid from glucose, mannose, glycerol, melibiose, trehalose, cellobiose and fructose, but not from arabinose. The maximum growth temperature was 39°C. The bacterium was identified as X.campestris by Biolog and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis with 0.49 and 0.62 similarity indices when profiles were compared with the Biolog identification database GN4.01 and the MIDI identification database TSBA50, respectively. Leaf inoculation of disease-free poinsettia with a suspension of the isolated bacterium (108 CFU per ml), induced leaf spot symptoms consistent with field observations after 2 weeks.
The bacterium was identified as X.campestris pv. poinsettiicola (Xcp) following the more traditional classification of xanthomonads. Xcp strains from India, America and New Zealand have been re-classified into three separate species (Vauterin et al., 1995). However, available data either by Biolog or FAME databases for the Chinese strain were not sufficient for it to be allocated to the newly proposed taxa. The bacterium is deposited at the BCCMTM , Belgium as R22578. This is the first report of Xcp causing bacterial leaf spot on poinsettia in China.

Did you maybe mean inarable?
Sorry, no definitions found.
"They see a country with half its population living on the size of the state of Texas, surrounded by mostly unarable land and a sinking water table."
"This could all be done on unarable land so no food crop land need be used."

"The Chief Minister offered the Tatas unarable land in West Medinipur for setting up the manufacturing unit, but the latter preferred this agricultural land and the supposedly pro-people Left Front government in order to oblige the influential multinational company surrendered meekly to this compulsion."
"Climate change, if we don't do something about it, will become a national security concern because more and more land will become unarable, and people will fight more and more over that which is."
"I have paid my respects above to the tilled crops and the pastured pig for the arable land, and for the unarable land I would still emphasize the pig and give him other sources of food to supplement pasture."
"Did "forest" mean also moorland, wild and unarable land?"
"They are a primarily tribal people, who farm in a particularly unarable ground."

text: A LITTLE ABOUT ME (CAROL GOODROW) TEACHING The classroom has been my first home since 1978 when I was hired as a special education teacher in Tolland, CT. My specialty? Dyslexia. I enjoy teaching spelling, decoding, writing, and math. It's a job that takes patience, insight, and creativity along with a lot of love and caring. But my job isn't limited to my specialty. I also work with children with other learning differences and suspect that someday I may change my "specialty" to children with more significant needs. When I became a runner, I started integrating running with the curriculum. I still run with my schoolchildren on Fridays. I also have an after-school Happy Feet, Healthy Food Kids' Club that meets twice each week. We use my books, play running games, eat healthy snacks, and journal. LATE BLOOMER My running, artwork, writing, and designing all started after my children were grown. The term LATE BLOOMER fits because I had little confidence in athletics, art, and writing - most everything that I now love to do! I admit being terrified of dogs as a child. There was no such thing as a leash law and in our neighborhood a growling German Shepherd Dog roamed the streets. It was this great fear that was the inspiration for Hannah, the main character in The Treasure of Health and Happiness. MY FAMILY I'm married to Kevin. We live in a small old country home in Sturbridge, MA, with our dog, Midnight. Midnight is the model for Toby in my "Treasure" book. He's also my best running buddy. I take him on my shorter runs. We run on country roads and on the trails. If he doesn't see a squirrel, all goes well. I have a daughter, Josie, a son, Keith, and 3 grandchildren. My daughter is a runner and my son races road bikes. Oh, joy! Receiving a healthy-heart tee from the Greenville School during an author/illustrator assembly. MY PASSIONS Designing, creating, and writing. It's a joy to me to be the illustrator of my books and my Web sites. I enjoy the process of creating a book as much as seeing the finished product. A child once asked me, "How does anyone know that they should be an author/illustrator?" My answer? "When you just can't stop the ideas from popping out of you - out of your head and your heart. That's when you know." ON THE WEB I've been on the Web for many years. I started with Cool Running and built their first children's page, WayCoolRunning.com. It no longer exists as I built it, but if you look at KidsRunning.Com today, June 21, 2009, you'll see that it looks like WayCoolRunning.com looked years ago. That is because I also created the Runner's World site. Starting next month, I will only be working on this author site. BECOMING AN AUTHOR ILLUSTRATOR In 2003, Amby Burfoot of Runner's World magazine, phoned me. The reason for the call was to urge me to write my first book. We decided that I should write a children's running log. From this conversation, Happy Feet, Healthy Food was born. Within a couple of months, I found a publisher, Garth Battista of Breakaway Books. I was thrilled to find a publisher so quickly. Not only did I sign on as an author, but also as the illustrator of my books. MY HOBBIES I run, read, and cycle. I run every day that I can and for many years was always training for a half marathon, somewhere. Now, I run for fitness, fun, health, and for the love of the outdoors. I don't run fast, but still I enjoy most everything about running. I read novels for relaxation and also to ponder big ideas or to understand myself, the world, and others. But I also read to learn how to do things. My last year's project was poetry. I have a stack of 5 books on poetic form waiting to be read. They are still waiting. I got sidetracked this year and read many books to help my schoolchildren: The Explosive Child, Lost in School, and books on Asperger's. For years I cycled for fun and also as part of the Pan Mass Challenge (pmc.org). It's a 112 - 192 mile bike ride for Dana Farber - always the first Saturday a.m. in August. I did this ride in honor of my friend Fran Lucas. I was thrilled to hear that he wrote my name on a beam at Dana Farber as a hero. I rode my final PMC last year and will miss this event.

If you're a programmer, you're already creative. Programming is one of the most creative of professions (else why would the word "elegant" be such a high term of praise?). So much for that.

My answer is partially related to your question, but what I feel is that I needed motivation to count myself and you need some also.

This isn't really a "graphic design" answer, but you may also want to see if you can change the text. In your examples, I don't think the art of the "install" button is particularly more button-like than your Outlook button. However, the text on it is a well-known verb so it is associated with performing an action. In the same vein, "Launch Outlook" may ...
Yes, this question is incredibly broad. Maybe it's OK as a wiki article.
For starters, define 'we'. There are many, many people and roles involved with designing web sites and they all tend to have different common mistakes.
To give this question at least one answer, I'll toss out issues I've seen that seem to pop-up over and over again:

No, those are all way too close. You're suffering from Red Shorts Syndrome.
What does that mean? Well, let's say you watch a race, and the guy who won the race wore red shorts. If you want to win a race, do you go out and buy red shorts and assume that wearing them will make you win? No, you look at what the winner did to train himself so that he could win. ...
I think your questions is not about how to be creative, but rather about how to be able to create visually appealing content.
I know many graphic designers who are either good or talented, but are not creative (in the sense of being innovative and thinking out-of-the-box) at all.
Now, from my experience, people who are able to produce visually appealing ...
Pixel fonts aren't terribly different from tiny print fonts when you get right down to it*. The one big exception is that you know what the medium will do with pixel fonts -- a very big advantage.
There really isn't an ideal pixel grid, per se. Obviously a larger grid gives you more room to work. The smallest types I've seen work successfully are 7px ...
To me, it sounds you lack self-confidence.
You already master one difficult part: programming, and as Alan already said, programming is a creative job.

The answer to this question only exists in the courtroom, and even then, it's a blurry grey line.
That's the legal issue, at least.
The moral/ethical part is highly subjective heavily dependent on way to many variables to have any meaningful generic answer.

Your question scope is a little broad, but let me try to explain how I got into interface design.

If you can't think of any "etc..." then its possible you don't need any "etc..." in there.
We seem to have an in built reaction to fill our graphics so they don't look empty. It takes guts to push out a design that looks simple (even if its not).
Something i learnt at design school was to embrace negative-space/white-space/void and to resist the urge to ...
You should probably consider establishing upper and lower limits and making the area of concern flash (possibly a red or yellow background with a black line flashing back to the normal waveform) if values go above or below those limits. For example:
ETCO2 values above or below baseline (35-45mmHg)

As more of a programmer than designer my self I find that it helps my creative process when I "design in the browser" instead of Photoshop.
I usually start with HTML and CSS to get my basic layout down and use Photoshop if I need to create buttons or other graphical elements. This also speeds up the process and makes development much faster.

The key here is affordance - visual clues for the user to be able to determine the behaviour and intended use of something from a distance - before interacting with it - like a flat plate on a door says push and a handle says pull.

The visual flow of an interface does matter, and here's why:
Every interface screen should have a primary action or actions that are to be performed. The visual flow should naturally draw the eye to the primary action.
The less distance the eye has to travel, the easier an interface is to comprehend and use. Studies (pdf) on form design bear this out as ...

Using four shadows instead of two may give a better approximation of an outline effect, if that's what you want:

A bit surprisingly, it turns out that the W3C actually recommend this hack in their CSS examples.
These types if Ui designs are commonly created using Adobe Illustrator and then brought into Adobe After Effects for creating the video portion of the elements making them appear "in use". I don't know that they have a particular term or designation in regards to a theme.

If you are looking for something that helps you with the guidelines, this is a useful tool based on a Google Project:
It does everything in automatic so I would not recommend it ;)
You can find a template pack here:
as well as some pretty thorough guidelines for developing icons for the Droid. I would assume that anyone who could do web / graphic work could make icons for the Droid (it looks like they range from 19 x 19 px to 72 x 72 px). I don't know if ...
I would highly recommend using the open/closed hand cursor when manipulating on-screen objects. The open hand on hover, and the closed hand on mouse down and when dragging.
This standard is used in many popular applications, not the least of which is every Google app where dragging one or more objects is required (e.g., G-mail message list, a Google Map). ...
If he uses the native resolution for the smartphone (960x640 for iPhone retina) and
if he uses layers to separate the individual items, it should work.
So he should use PS or Pixelmator or any other application which can handle layers and he must send it to you in a usable file format like .psd or .tiff
There are a lot of considerations when working with the mockup so it's really best if you ask the designer his/her intentions. If you have reasonably decent Photoshop/GIMP/MSPAINT skills you can hack up a flat image and make elements for your app. BUT... there's always a but... you need more knowledge than just the static mockup.

You could do both.
Since sliding is really just switching pages, each page is unique, so should warrant its own design.

There is no universal way to describe a user interface. It's typical for a designer to hand over image assets as one or a combination of these things:

I want The Shoulds to be a fuckin' kick ass band name (call me if you'd like to buy it), instead of the shit I can't turn off in my brains. Their steady stream of bullshit blatherings, brow-beating and lies come factory direct from another person's fear that got re-gifted to me. A shitty, scratched up, unwrapped gift no one wants, but one that I seem to have snatched up like some greedy, poverty-stricken child who's never owned a damn thing in its life. Like a crappy, cheap hard-plastic doll with fucked up, bright yellow hair, I do nothing all the live long day but stroke and caress and rub on all The Shoulds racing through my head in any given millisecond.
"I SHOULDN'T be writing this way. This harsh. This, whatever. I can't do what I want (need) because I SHOULD be doing something, anything other than this. I SHOULD abandon everything that provides me that sense of being in sync with myself to do this other 'responsible' thing." Usually, something I absolutely loathe. Something that makes me miserable. And ALWAYS a thing that keeps me from being authentic to myself. A thing that murders my soul just because "I SHOULD". What kind of bullshit reasoning is that?! Fuck The Shoulds. The Shoulds have been trying to kill off the essence of me ever since my time on the planet began. Well, I win, I've decided. So, to The Shoulds, "Go fuck yourself".
And before anyone gets all whiny and up in my face, covering me over with their own massive piles of The Shoulds, blurting out such things as "Tsk tsk, Angry Foolish One, we MUST be responsible" and other shit like that? I KNOW. Yes. There are some tasks we do that we don't like. But that's not what the hell I'm talking about. I'm not talking about depositing checks with a stupid person working as a teller at your bank or matching socks at a laundromat. So, chill. I'm talking about being TRULY responsible. ACTUALLY responsible, to the person we truly are. The Shoulds are a distortion of responsibility. You, me, us, we, all of us have an actual responsibility to be authentic to ourselves and not divert our efforts in whatever venture we are meant to undertake. For example, I am a writer, intrinsically (I mean, it's so obvious). Maybe you're meant to be a mother. Maybe you're meant to be a real estate broker. Maybe your passion is manufacturing paperclips. I don't fucking know. What I do know, is fuck that shaming slime The Shoulds cover us in. Revolt!
The Shoulds never cease at making their attempts to power my ass down. The Shoulds stand on my ribs. The Shoulds grab me by the scruff of the neck and drive my face into the carpeting. They leave me confused and frustrated, splayed out on the floor (okay, reclining in a comfortable bed, but I sport "dead-face" while I lay there, so it counts as a bad thing)…doing, creating, learning, gaining absolutely nothing. Staying utterly still. Staying utterly silent. Staying utterly fucking paralyzed. And staying utterly fucking put. They root me to a spot I've spent far too much time in already.
So, here's a personal proclamation, long overdue. The Shoulds are TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT. I do what I want. I work for the real me. Responsibility does not equate blowing The Shoulds and being wretchedly miserable and off track in doing so. Responsibility is being dedicated and working for, and no longer against, my authentic self. So, gag on that.

EP Review: DOWN – Down IV Part 1, The Purple EP
I do believe that we have delivered a record that will be accepted and hopefully enjoyed by the DOWN horde — if you will…If you're looking for a DOWN record, it's very pure and real.
-Phil Anselmo, Rolling Stone Interview
As a proud member of the "DOWN horde", I had very high expectations for this release. These expectations soared even higher when I listened to Witchtripper (and then listened over and over and over again), a song I think already deserves to be named one of the best Metal songs of 2012. With its gloomy and spooky purple cover art, Down IV Part 1 is the first in a series of EPs due to come out over the next few years. After listening to this EP several times through, I would say this "Purple EP" is a strong, if slightly uneven first chapter to the new DOWN saga. (more…)

I know it's a simple job but I thought I would add a little "how-to" since I did mine today.
First job before you jack up the car is to get at the top of the shock behind the seats. Just peel back the lining to expose the top of the shock. You will only need to pop out one of the push-in fixings to do this.
Next remove the rubber cap (just so you don't have to struggle with it when the shock is free).
Undo the two fixing nuts and remove them. The shock won't go anywhere for now. Next you can jack up the rear of the car. This will allow the shock mount to come away from the inside of the wheel arch.
Now you need to undo the lower shock fixing bolt. A squirt of WD40 is helpful here although mine were easy enough.
With that bolt out the shock can be removed. Don't forget to remove the old gasket from the inside of the wheel arch and clean the area to allow a good seal when re-fitting. With the shock in a vice gripping the flats machined on the end of the push-rod you can now remove the mount fixing nut.
This then allows the removal of the old shock mount. Here are a couple of shots of the split drivers side mount.
You can now fit the new mount (in the reverse order of the removal process ) along with a new gasket.
Offer this up the the car and fit the bottom fixing bolt (torque this to 77Nm)
Refit the wheel, lower the car off the jack and tighten the two mount fixing nuts inside the cabin. Refit the rubber cap and replace the lining. Repeat for the other side and job done. Here is how the passenger side mount came out

Does "NuLustre 55" from Swing Paints ring a bell? NuLustre 55 is a clear epoxy. You mix the two parts (resin and hardener) together to make a fairly viscous liquid and pour that onto the horizontal surface you want to coat. The epoxy first self levels and then cures to a very durable coating. Google NuLustre 55 and you should find it. | ||||

How did you know your spouse was "the one?"
I'll get us started …
People have always said, "You'll just know," when you've found "the one." I never really ascribed to that saying, but with Steve, that's exactly what happened. I believe that as a Christian, when we seek God's choice for our spouse through prayer and submission, He does give us a peace and certainty about the person He desires for us to do life with.
Beyond the extreme God-given peace I felt deep within my spirit about Steve, there were other things that further affirmed that choice. My family and friends all loved Steve and couldn't speak highly enough about him. They also pointed out that he seemed to bring out the best in me and vice versa, which I believe to be a HUGE indicator of a wise spouse selection. Additionally, he met my list of "must-haves," and then some! I could picture a lifelong journey with him. And I knew that I could trust him – his judgment, integrity, guidance, and decisions – because he was (is) a God-loving and God-fearing man.
Steve was the guy I prayed for and dreamt of, and I just had complete peace, confidence, and excitement that he was the one I wanted to spend my life with through thick and thin.
Okay, it's your turn!

Centuries ago, the best way to reproduce a book was to have a monk in a monastery sit down and rewrite the original, word for word.
These days, digitizing one of those ancient texts can seem almost as laborious: It can take hours upon hours of human work to scan just one volume. So George Washington University is now trying to figure out if an automated digitization system will take less time, and cost less per page, than a manual one.
The university announced Tuesday that it will use an automated system to digitize rare Middle Eastern texts from its own library and from that of Georgetown University. Library staffers will digitize hundreds of works over the next two years, and when the project is completed, they will examine the associated costs. They hope to be able to tell other libraries which method of digitization is more affordable.
Digitizing a book can involve disbinding it or having a human turn its pages. But at George Washington, a machine in the institution's Melvin Gelman Library uses a black plastic arm to turn a page, pause as two cameras take pictures of both open pages, and then turn the page again. Air circulates through the arm of the machine, creating a gentle vacuum that can attract a page and guide it from the right side of the book to the left.
Lotfi Belkhir—the chief executive officer of Kirtas Technologies, the company that sold the machine to George Washington—showed guests at an event announcing the project's start how the device works. The machine (above; image by William Atkins, George Washington U. photographer) whizzed through the yellowed pages of an 1899 translation of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat. The machine, which costs $169,000, can photograph up to 3,000 pages in an hour.
Kirtas Technologies is based in the U.S., but most of its sales are to libraries in other countries, Mr. Belkhir said. George Washington's purchase was subsidized by a grant from the Insitute for Museum and Library Services.
Buying an automated system is important because libraries need to determine the most cost-effective way to digitize their texts, said Karim Boughida, associate university librarian for digital initiatives and content management at the Gelman Library. The university wants to make cost information available to decision makers at other institutions, he said.

Years later I heard colleges were starting to prohibit it, the reason being that it had been recast; no longe an exchange of status, but a kind of prostitution where girls were allegedly offering themselves to professors in exchange for top grades. I thought that was sad. |

I wish my professors were young enough to date! They're the only ones who think my enthusiasm for math is cool. I say wait until the grades are final, then go for it. Wouldn't want to find out she thinks you're whack when your grade was still in play. After that, I'd say it's safe to find out. If there's some policy against it, she should know about it and tell you if necessary.

When I first started uni, a teaching support staff guy from my department sent me an email in my first week of the course. He said he thought I was beautiful and wanted to get to know me. Now he's a lecturer at the same uni. i turned him down at the time as I was in a long term relationship. I don't know if its right or wrong but I think I would have had to keep our relationship secret if I decided to pursue it. i'm now single and sometimes think about contacting him but its been along time now.

Since the OP is asking about someone he wants to do a PhD with, the answer is clearly, NO. It's unethical, and a conflict of interest for her to have a relationship with you if you are her student.
As for general rules against dating students who aren't in your class, as long as they are at the university, there is a potential they could wind up in your course and become your student. There's also the possible conflict that a faculty member dating a student could put undue pressure on colleagues to boost grades in classes,etc. I've been told since I was TA, "If it's true love, it can wait until they graduate." |
Jan6-12, 10:48 PM | #47 |
Reminds me of the time a family member was asked by a student if she had ever posed for a poster. Since she was well over 40 at the time she was quite flattered. There are ways to let a professor know you're interested without risking a smackdown, and once you've graduated - who knows???

Jan6-12, 11:40 PM | #49 |
I wanted to sleep with one of my profs, too. Unfortunately, her husband was my student adviser, so that wasn't going to happen. Also, one of my classmates had the hots for him and would have ratted me out in a second if I managed to get close to his wife.
She'd wear those slim tapered skirts (think Mad Men) and elastic head-bands, which were pretty retro by 1970. Pretty, and a bit geeky! |
Jan7-12, 01:18 AM | #50 |
This whole idea is highly unethical. A person in a position of authority should never have a personal relationship with someone under their current jurisdiction. It is, at best, a prejudicial relationship in the eyes of all others subject to that authority. If you hide the fact, you are merely fueling the gossip fires.

So true, but it doesn't stop one from drooling or fantasizing.

Municipal Fixed Income | August 2012
Look beyond the headlines: Municipal bankruptcies may present opportunities for those who do their credit researchBy Lyle J. Fitterer, CFA, CPAManaging Director, Head of Tax-Exempt Fixed Income, Municipal Bond FundThree California cities—Stockton, Mammoth Lakes, and San Bernardino—have declared bankruptcy since June 28. More cities are talking about the possibility of entering Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. What are the implications for municipal bond investors? We believe that understanding a local government's various debt structures is important not only for avoiding pitfalls, but also for assessing relative value and finding investment opportunities across the country and in California. Conditions in California are uniqueWe do not believe that we are likely to see a burst of bankruptcies from local governments in other states because the circumstances facing California cities are unique. In California, the state law known as Proposition 13 limits local governments' ability to raise revenues from property taxes. Additionally, local redevelopment agencies were used to spark development in many communities. Over time, some municipalities relied on excess receipts from these redevelopment projects for their general funds. Unfortunately for the cities, the state of California recently dissolved redevelopment agencies, partly to improve its own finances. Lost redevelopment revenues and limitations on revenue generation from Proposition 13 contributed to the pressures on some of the most troubled cities, including Stockton and San Bernardino.State cooperation during times of fiscal stress helps local governmentsStates with strong oversight of their fiscally impaired local governments tend to encourage the municipality to fully honor its debt and retain access to the capital markets. California's oversight legislation, known as AB 506, calls for a 60-day mediation process in advance of a new bankruptcy filing. While many describe California's approach as hands-off, our concern with this legislation is that it is costly and doesn't do enough to protect bondholders. In our view, it offers weak enforcement of progressive negotiations and targets some creditors— primarily bond insurers and institutional bondholders— without appropriately involving larger creditors, namely the labor unions and pension system that are often the largest expenditures. Finally, it adds legal costs on top of already strained finances.Some states that have good precedents for working with local governments include Michigan, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's Act 47 program places communities into an oversight program to consult on financial procedures until the community has shown sufficient strength to exit. We believe that such oversight has provided additional security for investors in Pittsburgh and the 19 other governments operating under its guidance. Alabama is at the other end of the spectrum. Here the state had several opportunities to help beleaguered Jefferson County, but it did not. The state legislature also failed to allow for the reinstatement of a wage tax that generates $60 million in revenue. Communities may lose market access if their state is unwilling to get involved or provide the tools for the community leaders to improve their finances. Investors need to understand the state oversight mechanisms, legal precedents, and tools available to local municipal managers to make an accurate assessment of fair value in times of distress. Opportunities within municipal debt structures— examples from San BernardinoWe expect different types of San Bernardino bonds to have different outcomes. Of San Bernardino's $211 million debt outstanding, only $69 million (33%) is payable from the general fund, meaning the other $142 million (67%) is backed by revenue streams and is not subject to the bankruptcy proceedings. There is no direct general obligation debt outstanding, but there are lease, certificates of participation (COP), and pension obligation bonds (POBs) payable from the general fund.Table 1 | Nearly one-third of the San Bernardino city debt is paid from the general fund, while more than two-thirds have dedicated revenue sources.There is another $2.8 billion debt outstanding with "San Bernardino" in its name, such as county and school district debt, which is not affected by the bankruptcy.
San Bernardino city general-fund COP and POB debt seems to be the least protected from the city's bankruptcy. Recent bid-side price indications for the uninsured pension obligation bonds were only $35 (the value of a bond is typically expressed in increments of $100; the example represents a 65% discount to the face value of the bond). By contrast, several AA-rated, insured lease bonds recently traded between $93 and $96. The other city debt, such as the water revenue and sewer COPs, initially traded lower but regained footing given the statutory lien provided to bondholders. In our view, some bonds that were separate, distinct legal issuers but with "San Bernardino" in their name or that were located in the same geographical area were unfairly tainted by the bankruptcy. Investors without in-depth credit resources tend to avoid and even sell bonds that can be at all associated with a negative event; in this case, these included San Bernardino County, college district, and school district bonds. For those investors who can "look beyond the headlines" and do their own research, it was an opportunity to buy what we believe to be solid credits at an undervalued price. Concluding observationsMunicipal issuers cover a broad spectrum, from a few in default to those that are benefiting from a renewed focus on improving their financial health or an improving economic environment. It, therefore, is essential to monitor each municipality based on the specific laws within its state and the various bond structures available. In our view, opportunities for value can be found in some of the various pricing inefficiencies that develop during such periods of heightened headline risk and market uncertainty. Our investment strategy has been, and will continue to be, to do our homework and invest in solid credits when they represent good value.Bond fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This fund is exposed to active trading risk, high-yield securities risk, and municipal securities risk. Consult the fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the fund's income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable..

The Beginning
I've tried to start a blog for couple of years now. I have had few different projects, but they have died before even really starting.
There is so much on my mind right now. I had to get them out somewhere. I don't see that I could tell these things to anyone, so I will now do it anonymously (or sort of). I don't expect anyone to read these blog entries, but I think the most important thing for me is to get them out of my mind.
In the upcoming months I will be writing about these things, but this blog will probably turn into an overall rant-pathos-style blog where I will be talking about everything that is wrong with this world in my opinion. Arguments are great, so if you have any different opinions on the subjects I'm talking about, feel free to add questions/comments on the "Ask me"-page. I'll answer them. But please be kind. I understand that there are different opinions on things and so should you.
The first real blog entry will be up shortly.
Au Palaisau palais | pathos
Au Palais - Pathos
Au Palais - Pathos
For the past 10 years I've been excited about Osteopathy. Invariably, when I share this love, people ask me "What is Osteopathy…?" I'm going to start this blog off with a definition that I just learned in my first month of graduate school at the Canadian College of Osteopathy.
Typically, you'll hear Osteopathy translated as coming from the Greek osteo for bone, and pathy for disease. But this does little to describe what an Osteopath does. It turns out that in ancient Greek these words had a much fuller meaning. A.T. Still, the founder of Osteopathy, was also a scholar of ancient Greek and so to him the words would have meant:
- OSTEO - structure or the structure of life
- PATHOS - suffering or deepest need
Osteopathy then is a science that addresses suffering or deepest need of the structure of life. Ahh, this is a much for satisfying definition. And while it still doesn't make for an easy elevator answer, it may convey a little better to you why I'm so excited about it.
The Art of Rhetoric
This is an old web page put up by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It's kind of silly and informal, but it does a nice job of demonstrating how these three main appeals work.

It would be nice if crossing the Bridgeport into Trumbull border was noticeable- a sudden shift from…Read More fast food and dilapidated buildings to greenery and well maintained buildings. Unfortunately that strip of Main St has had its character erode as commercial zoning inched north. The imposing structures of the mall and Merritt make it very difficult to see this no man's land as remaining residential for much longer.
Tom Pieragostini April 6, 2013 at 11:16 am
I'm ashamed that in the recent past, Trumbull town planners have chosen to use the beautiful…Read More historic Merritt Parkway as some sort of cheap zoning boundary that, depending on which side you live on, determines if your neighborhood will remain residential or become commercial.
It was even suggested in the foreword of a book about the history of Trumbull, that the Merritt Parkway somehow "bisected" the town and the founders were wise to locate all new commercial development south of it. It doesn't bisect the town.
We all have to live with the bad decisions other people make, but nothing did more to devastate our town "center" than to locate new development on our southern border.
Now we're left with a confusing gateway from Bridgeport into Trumbull along Main Street. When people ask now - are we in Trumbull yet? The answer is - yes, we have been for the last half mile...

Dear Narrative Interruptus,
Thank you for your comment. I am really glad that you have pointed out…Read More this issue as it is a big problem. Where I buy my fish in the city I am assured that the swordfish is hand caught. That being said, who really knows if that is the truth.
After listening to an interview of Sylvia Earle, who wrote, "The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One," I was horrified at what is happening to our oceans. This is one of the reasons that I don't post many seafood/fish recipes. I definitely should have prefaced this recipe with, "only buy if your fishmonger sells hand caught swordfish."
Your comment has me thinking. If you would like to email me your approved list I would love to review it. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks again for your comment. I truly appreciate it.
NarrativeInterruptus May 3, 2013 at 02:04 pm
I appreciate your recipes and have tried a couple with success. One question regarding…Read More swordfish, do you consider how they are caught? I had not and enjoyed swordfish (mostly grilled) but once I looked into the fishery, I decided to avoid swordfish for the past several years.
see, I am a recreational fisherman in the LI Sound and local rivers but I am almost entirely catch & release. My food fish come from the store. Thus, when I learned of the bycatch in swordfish fishing, I decided to take it off my approved list (along with Chilean sea bass and mako shark).
Bycatch refers to those other fish caught "by accident" by long liners and long net fisherman seeking swordfish and other large gamefish. Loggerhead turtles are just one such accidental catch and if they are "caught" (hooked or net fouled) they are dead. A simple Google search will list more.
If you can find "hand caught" or "day boat" swordfish, then you will know they were caught by rod and reel which prevents bycatch. Otherwise, if you care about these other species, you may wish to reconsider swordfish. Here's a simple test: if you only eat "dolphin free" tuna fish, you probably will have a problem with bycatch for swordfish and mako shark.
Great recipes generally. Thanks!

Every woman should know (it is her legal right) her breast density number. Please go to: http://www.areyoudenseadvocacy.org/ I personally know 3 people that were told they were all normal. They pushed for further tests (ultrasound and MRI) and found they had stage 3.

Kristy - We can't all agree that the nature of BOE budget lacks transparency. The budget is…Read More developed in full public view with the input of all interested parties; the BOE finances are reported in detail on a monthly basis by the business manager; account transfers are done as a matter of the public record. The school system's finances couldn't be more transparent, and that's a credit to all who helped fix the problems Kathleen McGannon explains above.
Unfortunately, the use of the 1% holdover has complicated matters, but it seemed necessary last year when we were implementing a massive new program in full-day Kindergarten. While the BOE finances may not always be as straightforward or predictable as we'd all like, you can't say they are not transparent.

The only "fault" was not predicting the rapid growth that would occur in the school…Read More population from the original design stage to completion of Frenchtown. The same thing occurred at the new preschool as well. By the time it was built, it needed to be made larger. "If you build it, they will come.: And they did!
Kathleen McGannon April 29, 2013 at 01:57 am
The original plan was to have Frenchtown School contain the preschool. However, Mr. Iassogna…Read More constantly stated that we needed a "school and a half" to hold all the programs. Frenchtown was built to the original specifications. My complaint was that it was built for the day it was designed--not for what probably would happen 3 years down the road when it would open. And that is exactly what happened. The population grew rapidly, meaning Frenchtown needed the preschool space for regular classroom space. Neither Ray Baldwin, nor Ken Halaby, changed the design of the school. Circumstances changed the design of the school. Mr. Kelly has given you the increase in numbers for those years. Redistricting had to be done. It was an ugly time in Trumbull! But when all was said and done, when Frenchtown opened, there was no way to fit the pre-school into that building. Another option needed to be found. The preschool, built at Middlebrooks, was the "half a school" that Mr. Iassogna kept saying was needed. Perhaps if a full second story had been planned at Frenchtown from the beginning, it would have helped accommodate the preschool. But it wasn't designed that way. Smaller school were seen as safer, open sight lines were important, etc. Frenchtown was originally designed to hold the preschool and just couldn't by the time it opened.

Tom Kelly April 26, 2013 at 09:45 pm
Steven, you are exactly correct. The local Republicans have employed the SAME EXACT budget gimmicks…Read More to the town's budget as they have criticized the Democrats for in Hartford. You can't maintain credibility if you criticize these budget manuevers in Hartford and employ them in Trumbull. Look at the amount and the scope of the things that have been bonded in Trumbull over the past few years, and you can see that it is artificially lowering the tax rate, but we will pay the price in the future. In our own family budgets, we all know that we can lower our monthly payments by paying over time and paying the minimum amounts due on our credit card statement, but in the long run, the cost is much more. The same shenanigans are going on here, in my opinion.

There are tight controls in place that regulate trapping. Beaver in particular have the ability to completely alter one natural habitat type and replace with another to suit their needs.

There are various techniques to try to fool the beavers into not completely blocking water flow, by using underground pipes that are placed below their dams (referred to as beaver deceivers) but it can be costly.

Where every rescue is different, these are the items included in We Care Feline Rescue's contract.
I AGREE to abide by all laws and ordinances established by the community I live in with regards to owning an animal. If I choose to move at a later date, I agree that this adopted animal is part of my family and I will ONLY look for places that allow my furry family members to live with me.
I AGREE to provide the animal with safe shelter, fresh water, proper food and nutrition, adequate companionship and all necessary medical care if the animal becomes sick or injured. I will be a responsible pet owner and take my new family member to the veterinarian for routine annual exams, blood work, vaccinations, dental hygiene appointments and internal parasite screenings.
I AGREE to NEVER declaw the animal under ANY circumstances. I understand the declawing is a painful and unnecessary procedure involving amputation of part of the cat�s toes. Declawed cats have no way to defend themselves should they escape outdoors and are also more likely to develop arthritis and improper elimination problems. There are other options.
I AGREE that if any behavioral problems arise with this animal (i.e. improper scratching or elimination), I will work with the animal, We Care Feline Rescue and/or a Veterinarian/Behaviorist to help resolve the issue.
I AGREE that this animal will never be euthanized in a non-emergency situation without notifying WCFR by certified mail and allowing 14 days for a response.
I AGREE to notify We Care Feline Rescue immediately if this animal is lost or stolen and agree to make every effort to find the animal.
I AGREE that if for any reason, at any point in the future I cannot keep the animal, I will contact We Care Feline Rescue immediately. WCFR will work with me to find an appropriate new home for the feline. The animal will NEVER be surrendered to an animal shelter or to a person unknown to WCFR. Transfer of ownership is strictly prohibited without written approval from We Care Feline Rescue.
I AGREE to notify WCFR if I move and agree to provide the new physical address, mailing address, phone number and updated email addresses. I understand that We Care Feline Rescue may periodically check in on this animal to be assured of compliance with the items in this contract.
I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE that We Care Feline Rescue is not affiliated, governed or sponsored by any other business, entity or corporation and all comments, complaints, suggestions or correspondence should be directed to WCFR at the following email address: email@example.com.
I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE to be solely responsible for this animal and to indemnify and hold harmless We Care Feline Rescue Agents, Owners, Representatives and Volunteers from any and all claims of liability for the conduct of this feline on or after the date of this adoption and agreement of contract.
I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE the following terms and conditions constitute a legal contract enforceable by Civil Law. Any breach of this contract in part or whole requires the adopter to voluntarily relinquish the adopted feline, any paperwork and any records that pertain back to We Care Feline Rescue within five (5) days of notification. This will be at your expense and you will not have entitlement to any refund or damages of any kind.
If you have any questions or would like clarification on any of the above items, please do not hesitate to ask. The purpose of this contract is to ensure a long, happy life for you and your new family member.
If you can AGREE to our contract, then give our adoption representative, Jesse, a call to discuss all the kitties we have up for adoption RIGHT NOW!!
Thank you for your interest in our rescue and we look forward to speaking with you soon.
We are ALWAYS looking for and NEED donations! If we had to pick the 10 most important things the rescue needs, it would be the following:
1. Good quality wet food
2. Good quality dry food
3. Clumping kitty litter
4. Carriers & crates
5. Washclothes, towels and blankets
6. Heating pads
7. Kitten bottles and KMR formula
8. Scratching posts/trees and toys
9. Litter boxes and food bowls
10. $$MONEY$$ for vaccinations, internal & external parasite treatments, spay and neuter surgeries, pain meds, antibiodics, etc...
Another easy and simple way to help is to search and shop thru www.igive.com/wecarefelinerescue A specific amount for each search done through this site and a certain percentage of your purchase will be donated back to us and becomes a tax deduction for you! A WIN WIN SITUATION!
We always need beds for the kitties - so how about donate a Kuranda bed?

In the summer of 1989, I had just finished fourth grade at my school in Singapore and couldn't wait to attend my first summer camp on a small island off the coast of Malaysia. Most of the other kids in my group had been to this camp the year before and knew what to expect, but I was willing to brave being the "new guy" because I had great visions of what this adventure would entail.
When the time came, I begrudgingly kissed my mom goodbye, grabbed my oversized duffel bag and took a seat on the boat. As the port disappeared over the horizon, I leaned back in my seat under the warm sun, closed my eyes, and soaked it all in. All was right with the world...
That is, until I was shaken out of my sleep by the frantic voices of camp counselors screaming: The boat was unable to reach the island. We'd have to swim in. Pure anarchy erupted around me. Kids were abandoning ship left and right, and in the pandemonium, without pausing to think or ask why, I blindly followed suit.
Though I've always been an excellent swimmer, in that moment I discovered that there is a very good reason that fish don't wear jeans and sneakers. While the other kids swam freely to shore, I was fighting to stay afloat.
After what felt like the most epic five-second struggle for survival, one of the counselors yelled for me to throw my jeans and shoes back on the boat. I happily obliged. Unencumbered, I swam to the shore with ease. But as I approached the beach, I saw all the other kids playing and laughing, clothed comfortably in their bathing suits, while I...wasn't. How could that be?
Apparently every summer started with a swim from the boat to the island. The boat was not sinking after all. It was floating peacefully behind me with a swimsuit tucked safely in my duffel bag. Had I paused for a moment to ask, there would have been time to change. There had been no emergency worthy of a near death experience or emerging on the sandy shore, before all my new campmates, in my underwear.
It was in that moment that I learned an invaluable lesson: Never do something without understanding why. I've applied that lesson to just about every facet of my life. As an employee, I questioned traditions to make sure we were doing things that accomplished our goals. As a business owner, I make sure I understand the reasoning behind any suggestions or decisions.
My quest for understanding can be cumbersome to those around me. But ever since that summer, this approach to life has kept me from drowning, and I always arrive at the shore with my swim trunks on.
