Here is a collection of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the scientific and technical area of the MEF.
1. What are fossils?
2. What should I do if I find a fossil?
3. How are fossils formed?
4. How are dinosaur eggs preserved without being broken?
5. How are the ages of fossils determined?
6. How do they study the environments and climate changes that have occurred in the past?
7. If the fossils were buried in sediment and lava, why are they now exposed or found close to the surface?
8. Why did the dinosaurs die off?
1. What are fossils?
Fossils are remains of organisms preserved in the earth's crust. But indications of their existence and activities are also considered fossils.
In other words, fossils aren't only the familiar bones and tree trunks. Palaeontologists also search for various and diverse clues and signs such as eggs, nests, footprints and even excrement ( the latter are called coprolites). These signs of the acvtividad or presence of an organism are referred to as "trace fossils."
Only a small fraction of all of the plants and animals that lived in the past are preserved in the form of fossils. They are true evidence of change, signs of bygone geological epochs that tell thier own story of of the environment in which they lived.
Researchers are interested in other aspects related to fossils, beyond descibing only their characteristics. These include:
- understanding their anatomical function.
- understanding the evolutionary changes that a type of organism undergoes.
- Determining their age from the geological record
- Locating the species in its evolutionary tree (phylogeny), amongst others.
For this reason, they rely on original specimens which are then compared to others (sometimes descriptions in the scientific literature). They also examine the remains in light of other evidence available, such as traces of their activity preserved in rocks, enviromental changes recorded on the geological layers, etc.
A researcher could spend days studying the material, or they may dedicate years to it. Other researchers may even want to study or reexamine the fossil in light of new discoveries.
2. What should I do if I find a fossil?
Firstly one should not try to remove it and/or take it as a souvenir or for a private collection, as it is punishable by National Law No. 25, 743 " Protection of Archeological abnd Palaeontological Hertitage" and by Provincial Law No. 3599 " Governing archeological, anthropol;gical and palaeontological ruins and sites."
This is the legal framework. But what is the spirit of the regulations? Their removal could cause damage and even loss of fragments crucial to the understanding of this record of prehistoric life that could be completely unique.
On the other hand, extraction of a fossil without considering the setting in which it's found could result in the irrecuperable loss of fundamental information which could help to understand still more about these living things from the past. For example, it is important to know what type of sediments the fossils are found in, in what place they were found and the geological era to which they belong.
Likewise, fossils ought to be available to future generations and hence should be kept in an appropriate place for thier long term preservation, such as in museum collections.
The proper way to proceed upon encountering a fossil is to communicate with the appropriate provincial authority responsible for the application and enforcement of the National and Provincial Laws. In the case of the Province of Chubut, this is Provincial Culture Secretariat.
Due to the great territorial expanse of Chubut, this Secretariat works together with other institutions including the provincial police and municipalities. Hence, another way to register the finding is through the closest police department or municipality, who will immediately contact the Secretariat of Culture to decide on the next steps for follow-up .
Yet another alternative is to communicate with a renowned scientific institution, such as a museum or university, who in collaboration the the Secretariat of Culture will determiine the appropriate steps to be taken.
In summary: What to do upon finding a fossil?
> Don't dig up the fossil or remove it from its place.
> Communicate the finding with the Secretariat of Culture, or if that isn't possible, a museum or other recognised scientific institution, or the closest police commission.
3. How are fossils formed?
The study of the changes that occur in an organism from its death until its discovery is the topic of Taphonomy, one of the specializations of Palaeontology. Fossilzation isn't a common phenomenon, and the deciphering of fossils either singly or found in associations is not simple.
In this long process, fossils undergo important physical and biological changes. These could include fracturing, markings or variations in the dispositions or arrangements of the bones. When the fossil is recovered, these signs can help to unravel part of the "post mortem" story of the organism.
4. How are Dinosaur eggs preserved without thier being broken?
The dinsoaurs , which ruled the Earth for more than 65 million years, cared for their eggs much like many modern birds: building a nest to protect and shelter them. It seems that they preferred the soil near rivers, and that's where they layed them without burying them. The nests ,which have been found in various places, have contained up to 11 eggs, often arranged in circles.
How does an egg manage to last for millions of years without being broken?
In the first place, the vast majority don´t survive: if the egg doesn't hatch, it can be destroyed in many ways. But occasionally, given the right circumstances conducive to its preservation, it can survive until the present.
The long process stars with the overflow of a river, carrying sand and other sediments which cover the egg without breaking it. Then there exist two possible mechanisms of fossilization:
Some eggs have had only thier shells petrified. In others, the invasion of minerals has reached the interior as well. In this case, the filling of the egg by opal (amorphous silica) would have occurred through the tiny pores in the shell. Of course at that point there were no vestiges of organic components in the egg.
Afterwords, tectonic forces and intense and continuous erosion of the sediments uncovered the bedrock carrying the eggs. This allowed their discovery by palaeontologists.

Clipper™ Aquatic Herbicide Now Available for Use on Golf Courses
Tough on Unwanted Aquatic Plants, Clipper Works Fast and Dissipates Quickly
February 20, 2013
WALNUT CREEK, Calif.—Valent Professional Products announced that Clipper™ Aquatic Herbicide is now available for use by golf course superintendents and lawn care operators (LCOs).
Clipper controls many tough aquatic plants including duckweed and watermeal and has activity on some algae, according to Dr. Jason Fausey, regional field development manager for Valent Professional Products.
"Clipper is an effective new tool for golf course superintendents and LCOs that quickly controls some of the toughest aquatic plants they face," Dr. Fausey said. "It's easy to handle, easy to mix and easy to apply.
"Most importantly," Dr. Fausey added, "Clipper provides consistent results and activity is observed within 3-5 days after the application."
Available in a convenient new 1-lb package, Clipper dissipates quickly from the water column and does not accumulate in the sediment. It has minimal irrigation restrictions and does not require perfect coverage for maximum results. Available as a water dispersible granule for easy mixing, transport and application, Clipper can be easily applied to small ponds with a backpack sprayer from the shoreline.
"Aquatic plant management is a problem most golf course superintendents have to deal with at some point during the year," said David Frye, marketing and alliance manager for Valent Professional Products. "We're pleased to be able to offer them a new and highly effective chemistry that will help keep their on-course waterbodies looking healthy and free of undesirable vegetation."
For more information, please visit www.valentpro.com/clipper.

Programs And Services
Programs and Services Offered by the Accounting Office
The Accounting Office provides numerous services in support of the finance activities of the University. These services are beneficial to a wide variety of constituents including financial staff, account managers, executive management, Trustees, SSHE management, auditors, etc. Listed below are examples of such services.
Daily monitoring and verifying of the accuracy of the Finance System to protect the integrity of financial records. This ensures that the Finance System is accurate and that up-to-date information is available for users making account inquiries and fiscal decisions. It provides reliable information for reporting purposes and enables the University to avoid audit findings.
Establishing accounts for new users of the Finance System by determining appropriate access, providing passwords, and providing a list of accessible accounts. This function protects the integrity of the accounting system by ensuring that no one has unauthorized access to the system.
Providing technical assistance to users of the Finance System campus-wide by answering any questions regarding account activity, transaction processing, and report generation. This involves assisting functional staff and account managers to correctly code revenues and expenditures within the proper funds in accordance with the principles of fund accounting, enables users to better understand the on-line information and reports, and helps users make informed decisions.
Coordinating with Information Technology in ensuring system availability so that users can process and query necessary information. Provide a liaison between users of accounting services and Information Technology.
Monitoring Finance System fixes affecting operations, communicating with Information Technology staff, coordinating implementation and testing of such fixes to ensure proper functioning of the system.
Printing disbursement checks three times weekly. The Information Technology area handled this process in the past. It involves running several Banner job submissions, after which checks are printed to a dedicated check printer using SFI software. The Accounting Office also acts as back-up check auditor when necessary. Check disbursements are audited to strengthen internal control procedures designed to uncover any intentional or unintentional illegitimate payments. In this process, check information is compared to the information on the invoice being paid.
As part of the control measures, the University uses the positive pay process wherein a file of checks written during a check cycle is forwarded to the bank for its verification in honoring the customer's check presentment. This is an integral part of the check disbursement process. The Accounting Office also processes s payments on checks and orders cancelled checks upon request of either the A/P or the Office of Student Accounts staff.
Managing debt service obligations for bond financed facility projects and procurements.
Reconciling all bank accounts and other selected general ledger accounts on a regular basis. Bank accounts are reconciled to ledger balances so that the University's actual cash position is known, so that all charges or deposits to the bank are reflected in the University's accounting system, and to satisfy accounting and auditing requirements.
Performing all accounting functions for the Millersville University Foundation, including monitoring revenue and expense posting, distributing endowment and investment income, preparing financial statements, measuring performance levels of the endowment fund, preparing all tax returns, and coordinating with independent auditors in conducting the audit of Foundation's financial statements. Accounting functions are performed to keep the Foundation's finances in accordance with GAAP and to present to the Foundation Board a clear picture of how the Foundation's money is being invested and the type of return on investment that is being generated. Tax returns are prepared, as required by the Internal Revenue Service. The Financial Aid Office benefits by having accurate figures with which to determine scholarship award amounts. The Development Office and University Advancement Office are provided with the accurate accounting and reporting of gifts as well as information on expenditures.
Calculating and distributing investment income to all participating accounts on a monthly basis. Earnings are posted to the individual accounts to provide account managers with accurate data needed to make informed financial decisions as well as to satisfy any stipulations by donors.
Conducting internal audit and control functions. Provide feedback about strengths and weaknesses of a program and levels of compliance with policies and procedures.
Performing cost studies, such as the Summer Cost Study. Provide information about income, expenses, profits, or losses, etc.
Accounting for the University's fixed assets (equipment and plant assets). Ensures proper recording, safeguarding, and valuation of fixed assets, and provides reliable information needed to make decisions regarding replacement or acquisition of fixed assets.
Working in conjunction with the Development Office to monitor the accounting for all gifts. It is necessary to reflect the correct amount and the restricted or unrestricted nature of funds in accordance with donor stipulations. Serving to facilitate the reconciliation process of total gifts between BFS and ADS and to provide accurate figures for gift reporting purposes and the budgeting process.
Reviewing transactions, including receipts, disbursements and other related entries, preparing cash flow analyses for individual accounts as well as for the University, and assisting in detecting any errors.
Coordinating scheduling, processing, and other activities related to the year-end closeout process in preparation for the new fiscal year, as well as providing a reliable financial database for financial statement preparation. This enables all necessary year-end transactions to be processed on a timely basis and ensures the smooth transition from one accounting year to the next. It also allows for the preparation of the University financial statements that meet SSHE requirements, and for external auditors to perform audit duties in a punctual manner.
Preparing the Common Cost Accounting Reports necessary for state appropriations allocation purposes and for comparative analyses among SSHE institutions.
Formulating the indirect cost rate proposal submitted to the appropriate federal agency to obtain additional funds to recover the University's indirect costs in relation to government grants and contracts.
Processing payroll files and related entries necessary to complete the payroll accounting process, which includes the monitoring of cash flow through the payroll clearing accounts, the distribution of payroll charges and refunds to the appropriate departmental accounts. This allows account managers to know the payroll expenditures charged to their cost centers; allows the Budget Office to prepare timely and accurate budgets, and to monitor payroll expenditures. This also provides accurate financial reports to upper management and Council of Trustees, as well as other interested parties.
Coordinating all external audits, including NCAA, PA Auditor General, Financial Aid, grant programs, University financial statement audit and providing the necessary information to the auditors. Facilitates the audit process by scheduling, providing responses to audit questions, directing auditors to the appropriate offices when necessary, researching audit issues and responding to any audit criticism. Serves to limit the number of people involved with the audits and the number of people the auditors have to contact. The type of responses provided to external auditors and the interpersonal relationships developed with them often have a direct bearing on whether the University receives a clean audit.
Accounting for General Fee Income. Provides accurate figures for reporting purposes with respect to the General Fees, which allows management to assess if the fees are adequate to meet the needs of the University. Allows the Budget Office to budget money required for necessary transfers to plant funds, and allows Student Affairs to be informed of how much money is available for student activities.
Calculating the Workers Compensation rate and monitoring Workers Compensation claims and payments. Ensures that the proper amount of Workers Compensation is being charged against payroll so that all claims can be covered, and that an adequate amount is included in the Budget. Also protects against erroneous Workers Compensation payments.
Investigating and evaluating alternative accounting procedures for existing and new programs and issues. Allows for the Accounting Office and other related offices to operate more efficiently, and for programs to be accounted for in accordance with GAAP.

One Direction Twerks to Drake's "The Motto" at Miami 'Take Me Home' Concert (VIDEO)
More twerking goodness! After Miley Cyrus popped her booty in a unicorn onesie, we've seen more and more videos of celebrities (and real teens) taking on the jiggly dance move. The latest attempt: from One Direction.
During the fivesome's Take Me Home concert in Miami, Florida, the boys got a request via Twitter to show off their twerkin' skills. It's, uhh, definitely interesting, but are they any match for these celebrity twerks? (Yes, we understand that Harry Styles is included in the list already.) Watch the video above, then tell us your thoughts in the comments below, or on our One Direction message board!

I wasn't much of a poem writer prior to saying the rosary and studying Mary and learning more from Fr. Michael Gaitley. However I am now reading The One Thing is Three and really like it a lot! Just received a prompting to send this poem that I was inspired to write his way.
Trust you know you're a solid channel by which the Holy Spirit to flow through - keep up the great work my friend! Thank You!
What's so amazing about three
since the foundation of time?
Beginning, Middle and End,
human search for the divine?
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
the blessed Trinity
Lord, giver of Life,
crucified on Calvary.
Time, Space and Matter,
third rock from the Sun,
Three wise men bearing gifts,
let thy will be done.
Past, present and future,
Faith, Hope and Love,
Solid, Liquid, Gas,
all gifts from above.
Heat, oxygen, and fuel,
three elements needed for fire.
One transcendent experience,
consubstantial with desire.
Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient,
forever and eternally,
through him, with him and in him,
He wills we become Holy.

For many people, fly fishing is a spiritual experience. And the recently released book Fly-Fishing: The Sacred Art explores the diverse connections people have with nature, as co-author Eric Eisenkramer describes on the "Only a Game" program aired on NPR Boston. "There's something that's absolutely beautiful about standing in that stream and communing with these creatures," Eisenkramer writes, "It's kind of like a metaphor for bringing out the inner parts of yourself."

Water damage is one of the most common reasons people make claims on their home insurance. Ruptured pipes, faulty appliances and backed-up drains often lead policyholders to inspect their homeowner policy wording carefully.
Water damage coverage in the homeowner insurance policy is a confusing subject. Usually, the damage caused by water will be covered, but the item causing the loss, such as a leaky pipe or broken appliance hose, will not be covered. While your insurance company will pay for the damaged flooring from a ruptured appliance hose, it will be the policyholder's responsibility to replace the bad hose. Parts and appliances wear out and it is not the intent of an insurance policy to cover wear and tear.
Flood, which occurs when a nearby tributary or body of water breaches its banks and flows into your home, is not covered under homeowner insurance. You must purchase flood insurance for that. You can purchase flood insurance as long as your community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Discussion in 'SEO - Link building' started by SEO FOX, Jan 24, 2017.
Thread approved.
In terms of metrics, it's not bad. Average PA was high at around 30, DA will always be high for this obviously so I would ignore that...
In terms of quality of the built web 2.0's, they are bad. It's crappy spun content on an expired username... It's nothing amazing.
Seller does not provide usernames/passwords so you cannot update the content.
It's an OK service. I can see it being useful to some people.

NEW tremors shook the northern Japanese port of Kushiro yesterday as exhausted workers cleaned up after an undersea earthquake killed nine people on the nearby Russian Kurile Islands and injured hundreds in Kushiro, Japan.
The quake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, struck late Tuesday night. It was one of the strongest on record in the region. It left wide cracks in roads and concrete surfaces in Kushiro. Tsunamis - seismic waves - unleashed by the earthquake flooded the city wharf. Strong aftershocks continued to shake the island of Hokkaido early yesterday, and milder ones were expected to continue for a month.
Tsunami alerts from the first quake were still in effect across the Pacific Ocean in Nicaragua and El Salvador.
In the Kurile Islands, the waves reached as high as 15 feet.
In Moscow, an official of the Emergency Situations Ministry said nine people were killed there. He said there had been damage to homes and hospitals on Iturup and Kunashir, the more heavily populated islands in the chain.
A Japanese government spokesman said the Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama summoned a meeting of officials of 22 government agencies to deal with the emergency yesterday.

Biography of Deborah J. Richardson
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1952, Deborah J. Richardson graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in Political Science.
In 1975 she began working for the Atlanta YWCA, as project director of its Project FOCUS, introducing high school girls to non-traditional careers. As director of the Phyllis Wheatley branch of the YWCA (1980-1987), she was instrumental in establishing Cascade House, the first shelter for homeless women and children in Atlanta. She also ran a capital campaign which successfully raised funds to renovate the Phyllis Wheatley facility. From 1987 to 1994, Richardson served as Executive Director of the Capitol Area Mosaic (CAM), which provided social, recreational, economic, and spiritual development for young women in the Atlanta area, and from 1994 to 1999, she was Managing Director for the National Black Art's Festival.

Guidelines for Sharing Information with Others
Recommended by the National Genealogical Society
Aware that sharing information or data with others is important and that it needs continuing support and encouragement, genealogists and family historians consistently
- respect the restrictions on sharing information that arise from the rights of another as an author, originator or compiler; as a living private person; or as a party to a mutual agreement;
- observe meticulously the legal rights of copyright owners, copying or distributing any part of their works only with their permission, or to the limited extent specifically allowed under the law's "fair use" exceptions;
- identify the sources for all ideas, information, and data from others, and the form in which they were received, recognizing that the unattributed use of another's intellectual work is plagiarism;
- inform people who provide information about their families how it may be used, observing any conditions they impose and respecting any reservations they may express regarding the use of particular items;
- require evidence of consent before assuming that living people are agreeable to further sharing or publication of information about themselves;
- convey personal identifying information about living people--such as age, home address, genetic information, occupation, or activities--only in ways that those concerned have expressly agreed to;
- recognize that legal rights of privacy may limit the extent to which information from publicly available sources may be further used, disseminated, or published;
- communicate no information to others that is known to be false, or without making reasonable efforts to determine its truth, particularly information that may be derogatory; and
- are sensitive to the hurt that information discovered or conclusions reached in the course of genealogical research may bring to other persons and consider that in deciding whether to share or publish such information and conclusions.

This post took place in my head a few weeks ago when I started actually listening to the radio commercials… I started wondering if advertising agencies, companies and ordinary people feel they have no responsbilty for the road society is taking?
If your neck hurts, do you then think a pill will fix it and make it stop coming back? If your marriage is boring, do you think having an affair makes it any better? And do you actually need some stupid hand-made basket from Kenya before you want to support the hungry?
Well, I was taking a short walk with my friend the other day and started noticing all the stupid little things NGO's produce for people to buy them and thereby support their cause. They've read their 'customers' well, I guess.. I am just thinking… What you do need another basket for? Do you need it to show other people that you have a good heart? In that case, I can come up with quite a few other ways to show your heart's nature…….!
For me, all this has to do with common sense and respect for the globe we live on, the other people who live on it and the people who will live here when we've left.. So if you wake up one morning, looking at your wife through 25 years and don't feel joy and love for her, I think the most respectful thing to do is to let her have a wonderful rest of her life as a free person. The least respectful thing to do would be to cheat on her, leaving her to look like a fool, not having room for love in your heart for her. And this is where I start questioning how somebody (most likely more than one person) can decide to make a forum promoting affairs if your marriage is dying… Is it society that needs this forum? Or is it the founders of this forum who are manipulating people into thinking about their selfish needs?
Things don't just happen. Neck pains are there because something is wrong in your back or neck or somewhere else in your body. Affairs happen because of selfishness or because love and respect have flown away. Pain does not go away because you take a pill and pollute your body.
Do we want a society where we don't respect each other?
Do we want to support pill-society and keep eating pills to take the symptoms in stead of treating the cause?
Now that our society is primarily driven by consumers, think about WHY you do things next time you take a pain-killer, desperately need to have sex with your best friend's wife or feel sympathy with disadvantages people.
You can do things differently. You can do things from your heart.

The U.S. government has decided to enter the pharmaceutical business. Apparently, the drug companies aren't coming out with new "breakthrough" drugs quickly enough, and now the U.S. government plans to spend taxpayer dollars conducting research on drugs which will be turned over to Big Pharma. Those drug companies, in turn, will sell them for a profit. It's yet another clear case where the government is taking over the health care (sick care) industry and funneling profits into the hands of pharmaceutical corporations.
This is all happening because drug companies say they're scaling back their research funding to find new drugs. This terrifies the U.S. government, apparently, which doesn't recognize that scaling back drug company R&D is actually a good thing for America given how much economic damage and personal health damage is caused each year by Big Pharma's dangerous drugs. So instead of letting the failing pharmaceutical market contract on its own, Big Government wants to artificially prop it up with taxpayer dollars in much the same way that the feds bailed out Wall Street's rich banksters with trillions of dollars over the last two years.
The new government drug research center will operate under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and be called the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, says he hopes Congress will increase funding of the center to at least $1 billion annually.
The NIH, of course, is a revolving door for Big Pharma executives. Dr William Potter, for example, was formerly a researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health, after which he became the vice president of translational neuroscience at Merck. And the government money that goes into these so-called drug "discoveries" will only end up boosting the profits of drug companies rather than fundamentally improving the health of the American people. (More drugs does not equal better health. If anything it's an inverse correlation: More drugs = more degenerative disease!)
The myth of drug research
Of course, the bigger issue here concerns the mythology of drug development. The idea that every disease can be treated with a patented synthetic chemical is increasingly being revealed as absurd from the outset. The highly corrupt cancer industry has been promising a "cure" for cancer since the 1960′s… if only they could have another few billion dollars in funding. And yet, year after year, their promises turn out to be yet another fundraising hoax. The whole scheme has now devolved into grotesque absurdity with pink products flooding store shelves backed by the ludicrous idea that "we can all cure cancer by going shopping."
At the same time, the chemical "discoveries" made by the drug companies are so dangerous that they must be approved by theFDAwith advisory panels stacked with on-the-take "experts" who are paid by the drug companies, then marketed to the public through extremely manipulative and scientifically dishonest drug advertisements that downplay risks and exaggerate drug benefits. Even the clinical trials conducted in an attempt to prove the safety of drugs are riddled with lies (http://www.naturalnews.com/023408_D…), fraud (http://www.naturalnews.com/030557_p…) and outright corruption (http://www.naturalnews.com/029252_A…).
If Big Pharma's drugs actually worked well, they wouldn't need to rely on such dishonest tactics to convince doctors and patients to use them, it would seem.
The truth is that even Big Pharma's "blockbuster" drugs are outright failures from a human health perspective. Statin drugs, for example, have been overhyped to such an extreme that doctors are actually recommending they be dripped into the water supply. Yet a rational look at the drugs reveals that they cause extremely dangerous and even deadly side effects such as kidney failure, liver dysfunction, extreme muscle weakness (among other disastrous effects).
Instead of putting more money into "miracle" synthetic drug chemicals, the U.S. government would be far wiser to spend money researching and documenting the healing effects of medicinal plants and foods which are readily available without a prescription (and need no FDA approval).
But of course, the U.S. government isn't interests in supporting the health of the American people. If it was, it wouldn't continue to protect Big Pharma with an FDA monopoly that outlaws natural alternatives that work better, safer and more affordably to prevent and even cure degenerative disease.
So get ready for a government-run pharmaceutical company to enter the picture. I've always said that the U.S. government is merely the marketing branch of Big Pharma. Now it is the research arm, too.

A master of the spy genre, Robert Littell turns his formidable skills towards crime fiction in" A Nasty Piece of Work."
""Former CIA agent Lemuel Gunn left the battlefield of Afghanistan for early retirement in the desert of New Mexico, where he works as a private investigator from the creature comforts, such as they are, of a mobile home.
Into his life comes Ornella Neppi, a thirtysomething woman making a hash out of her uncle's bail bonds business. The source of her troubles, Emilio Gava, was arrested for buying cocaine. She has reason to believe he is planning to jump bail. For $95 a day plus expenses (not to mention the pleasure of her company), Gunn agrees to help Ornella track down the wayward suspect. Curiously, no photographs of Gava seem to exist, and once Gunn begins his manhunt, he starts to wonder whether Gava himself existed in the first place.

addition Professor Subramanian is working with doctoral student
Qingjun Qin on developing theoretical descriptions of various aspects
of polishing in an orbital polishing tool. A SpeedFam/IPEC 676 orbital
tool is available at Clarkson for testing predictions from these
modeling efforts. Experiments have been performed on the polishing
of blanket copper films deposited on 200 mm silicon wafers, using
an abrasive-free chemical solution for material removal. In these
experiments, the concentration of the chemical and the orbital speed
were both varied, and the variation of material removal rate was
measured as a function of radial position on the wafer in each case.
One of the objectives of the model is to predict these radial variations
of removal rate. The pad is constructed with a rectangular grid
of grooves, and the slurry is introduced from underneath the pad
through a set of 61 holes that are located at the intersections
of selected grooves. The model involves describing the flow behavior
in the groove structure of the pad, and combining this description
with a model of the relative motion of each point on the wafer relative
to the pad, along with a convective diffusion model for the transport
of the chemical species in the grooves.
Distinguished Professor Goodarz Ahmadi
and his group are developing a model (based on mechanical contact
theory) for the chemical-mechanical polishing process. The goal
of their research is to provide a fundamental understanding of the
parameters that control the effectiveness of CMP for surface planarization.
Their current work focuses on the abrasive particle, wafer, and
pad contact and the abrasive and adhesive wear mechanisms in the
chemical-mechanical polishing process. They are developing a model
for interactions of pad asperities with abrasive particles and the
wafer. Their analysis includes the influence of abrasive particle
adhesion to the surface of the wafer. Also they are looking at the
CMP process using hard and soft pads and dilute and concentrated
slurries. In addition Professor Ahmadi and his students are studying
the effect of abrasive particle shapes, slurry pH, and colloidal
forces on the removal rate.
model predictions are described in detail and compared with the
available semi-empirical correlations in the paper " A Model for
Mechanical Wear and Abrasive Particle Adhesion During the Chemical-Mechanical
Polishing Process," by G. Ahmadi and X. Xia, Journal of the Electrochemical
Society , 148 (3) G99-G109 (2001).

Cardiff store Calders shuts days before Christmas
A Cardiff institution - traditional menswear shop Calders - has closed days before Christmas, leaving nine staff out of work.
Workers at the store, opposite the castle, were told on Friday that they had lost their jobs.
The shop is part of the family business owned by Gerald Baron Cohen, father of comedy star and actor Sacha.
Liquidators said there was never a good time to close a business, and an after-Christmas sale was now being planned.
The outfitters closed when an official from the liquidators turned up and made staff hand over their keys and go home.
The workers, some of whom had over 30 years' service, said they had no warning of the closure.
Clothing empire
One employee, who was with the company for more than 10 years, said: "We are all devastated - it has ruined everyone's Christmas."
Accountant Gerald Baron Cohen, 81, ran Calders for more than 26 years.
The family clothing empire was started by Sacha Baron Cohen's grandfather Morris, who grew up in Pontypridd more than 100 years ago.
They opened Baron of Piccadilly in London and Morris Cowan in Newport.
The company bought Calders in the 1960s when the business was already over 50 years old.
The family moved to London before comedian Sacha Baron Cohen - known for comedy characters Ali G and Borat - was born. They have other businesses including accountancy, clothing and computer firms.
Paul Davis, an insolvency practitioner with London-based MHA MacIntyre Hudson, said: "The company went into liquidation formally on Friday, December 20.
"Earlier in the month the directors took the decision that because of the company's financial position, they could not continue business.
"As an insolvency practitioner I advised them they needed to close the shop, pending the company going into liquidation."
Asked about the shop shutting days before Christmas, Mr Davis said: "There's never a good time to close a business.
"But the directors would have been guilty of unlawful trading if they had been allowed to continue trading."

"Cellist Erik Friedlander started studying music at an early age, beginning at 5 with guitar, and then at 8, cello lessons. He grew up in a house filled with music, as his father, an avid music lover, made countless mixtapes which played daily in their home. Erik spent his twenties honing his skills as a player and an improviser and quickly became a sought after studio musician, performing on the Downtown music scene and with artists as diverse as The Mountain Goats, John Zorn, Dave Douglas and Courtney Love. Erik's desire to actively participate in the swirl of music styles he was surrounded by led him to find new ways to play the cello and drives his solo work which is varied and unusual."-Erik Friedlander Website (http://www.erikfriedlander.com/about/)

• Show Bio for Marc Ribot
"Marc Ribot (pronounced REE-bow) was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1954. As a teen, he played guitar in various garage bands while studying with his mentor, Haitian classical guitarist and composer Frantz Casseus. After moving to New York City in 1978, Ribot was a member of the soul/punk Realtones, and from 1984 - 1989, of John Lurie's Lounge Lizards. Between 1979 and 1985, Ribot also worked as a side musician with Brother Jack McDuff, Wilson Pickett, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Chuck Berry, and many others.
Rolling Stone points out that "Guitarist Marc Ribot helped Tom Waits refine a new, weird Americana on 1985's "Rain Dogs", and since then he's become the go-to guitar guy for all kinds of roots-music adventurers: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp." Additional recording credits include Soloman Burke, Neko Case, Diana Krall, Beth Orton, Marianne Faithful, Arto Lindsay, Caetano Veloso, Laurie Anderson, Susana Baca, McCoy Tyner, The Jazz Passengers, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Cibo Matto, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, James Carter, Vinicio Capposella (Italy), Auktyon (Russia), Vinicius Cantuaria, Sierra Maestra (Cuba), Alain Bashung (France), Marisa Monte, Allen Ginsburg, Madeleine Peyroux, Sam Phillips, and more recently Joe Henry, Allen Toussaint, Norah Jones, Akiko Yano, The Black Keys, Jeff Bridges, Jolie Holland, Elton John/Leon Russell and many others. Ribot frequently collaborates with producer T Bone Burnett, most notably on Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's Grammy Award winning "Raising Sand" and regularly works with composer John Zorn.
Marc has released over 20 albums under his own name over a 35-year career, exploring everything from the pioneering jazz of Albert Ayler with his group "Spiritual Unity" (Pi Recordings), to the Cuban son of Arsenio Rodríguez with two critically acclaimed releases on Atlantic Records under "Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos". His avant power trio/post-rock band, Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog (Pi Recordings), continues the lineage of his earlier experimental no-wave/punk/noise groups Rootless Cosmopolitans (Island Antilles) and Shrek (Tzadik). Marc's solo recordings include "Marc Ribot Plays The Complete Works of Frantz Casseus" (Les Disques Du Crepuscule), "John Zorn's The Book of Heads" (Tzadik), "Don't Blame Me" (DIW), "Saints" (Atlantic), "Exercises in Futility" (Tzadik), and his latest "Silent Movies" released in 2010 on Pi Recordings was described as a "down-in-mouth-near master piece" by the Village Voice and has landed on several Best of 2010 lists including the LA Times and critical praise across the board. 2013 saw the release of "Your Turn" (Northern Spy), the sophomore effort from Ribot's post-rock/noise trio Ceramic Dog, and 2014 saw the monumental release: "Marc Ribot Trio Live at the Village Vanguard" (Pi Recordings), documenting Marc's first headline and the return of Henry Grimes at the historical venue in 2012 already included on Best of 2014 lists including Downbeat Magazine and NPR's 50 Favorites.
Marc has performed on scores such as "The Kids Are All Right," "Where the Wild Things Are," "Walk The Line (Mangold)," "Everything is Illuminated," and "The Departed" (Scorcese)." Marc has also composed original scores including the French film Gare du Nord (Simon), the PBS documentary "Revolucion: Cinco Miradas," the film "Drunkboat," starring John Malkovich and John Goodman, a documentary film by Greg Feldman titled "Joe Schmoe," a feature film by director Joe Brewster titled "The Killing Zone", and dance pieces "In as Much as Life is Borrowed", by famed Belgian choreographer, Wim Vandekeybus, and Yoshiko Chuma's "Altogether Different". Marc is also currently touring his live solo guitar score to Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid", which was commissioned by the NY Guitar Festival and premiered Jan 2010 at Merkin Hall, as well as a program of new arrangements of classic Film Noir scores commissioned by the New School Noir Arts Festival 2011.
In 2009, Marc was named curator and musical director for the year's Century of Song Festival, part of the Ruhr Triennale in Germany. The concert series sparked new collaborations with Iggy Pop, Marianne Faithfull, David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, master cajón player Juan Medrano Cotito, Carla Bozulich and Tine Kindermann.
Marc's talents have also been showcased with a full symphony orchestra. Composer Stewart Wallace wrote a guitar concerto with orchestra specifically for Marc. The piece was premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington DC in July of 2004 and also appeared at The Cabrillo Festival in Santa Cruz, CA in August of 2005.
Marc is currently touring with several projects including the Marc Ribot Trio, a free jazz group featuring legendary bassist Henry Grimes and Chad Taylor on drums, his power trio Ceramic Dog with bassist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Ches Smith, the Philly soul meets the harmolodics of Ornette Coleman's The Young Philadelphians with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Calvin Weston, and with Caged Funk, a project of funk arrangements of John Cage's music featuring Bernie Worrell of Parliament Funkadelic fame."-Marc Ribot Website (http://marcribot.com/bio)

Classifying Plants
In Biology 101,
Wes takes us through the steps
of how to classify plants.
Wes takes us through the steps
of how to classify plants.
The plant kingdom has two main groups:
vascular and nonvascular.
vascular and nonvascular.
Vascular plants are in a division called Tracheophyta.
Tracheophyta comes from the same word we get trachea because they both refer to hollow tubes to move air and/or water around.
Vascular means "a slender tube or vessel."
It's related to the word vase.
It's related to the word vase.
Nonvascular plants absorb water through their surfaces.

info outside of what the streets have whispered in our ear. Read on.WHO: illseedWHAT: Rumors, Funnies, Fails and more!WHERE: illseed.com, twitter.com.illseedHOW: Send your rumors, sightings and ill pics to illseed at email@example.com BUCK FREE!
I think you recall when I said Young Buck was free of his G-Unit contract, right? If not click here! As of right now, nobody in the Young Buck camp is talking, but Buck said enough right here:
This is your good news for the day.
I feel bad for this dude. Hes still a legend, right? But hes simply doing anything to get a check and that cannot be good. I had been hearing how wack he was acting on Big Brother UK, but I decided to just let it slide. Hes still a legend, right? But now, I have to report the recent. Apparently, Coolio and a transsexual contestant on the show got into a huge fight and continuously fought over the course of a weekend. For some reason, Coolio HID the transexuals clothing and got in trouble. He was then to spend some time in the Dairy Room (whatever that is) and he then quit. Hopefully, Coolio still gets paid. Hes still a legend, right?
Rumors are flying that Fantasia might be pregnant with COOK. I know, who cares.
Lady GaGa has now admitted to sniffing coke? She should do a song with Paris and Soulja! It would be a hit!
Nicki Minaj announced that her marriage to Drake was annulled over the weekend. Gotcha!
I heard that there is a new Hip-Hop trend in Virginia where the dudes where snakes around their neck like gold chains in the 80s.
Nicki Minaj has revealed that Diddy is not managing her! Who is then?
Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka where in Queens, 50s hood on August 29 to give back to the community. They played basketball together. No beef at all!
Shout out to Inspectah Deck. The Wu brother lost his mother on Sunday. Rest In Peace, Mom.
B. Pumper has said he would give up porn to rap with 50 Cent.
On the flip side, Pumper has a young female cousin that is now getting into porn and shes DISSING her own flesh-n-blood.
Jasiri X has decided to spit over the Power remix, but hes not entering into my contest. He spit his verse from the perspective of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a response to that racist scumbag, fake Rush Limburger Glen Beck. Written from the perspective of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jasiri X responds to Glenn Beck's rally and the growing racial and economic divide in America. From the police's brutal beating of Jordan Miles in Pittsburgh and murder of Oscar Grant in Oakland, the increasing poverty and joblessness, to the ever expanding racial division lead by the rhetoric of those like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin...Dr. King's dream has turned into a nightmare.
Carmelo Anthony threatens Kat Stacks, Chris Brown calls Rihanna wack, Young Buck in rehab, and Black Rob wants to be a bad boy again.
I know some of you are seriously sick of Kat Stacks and no I am not eating her you know what. I would guess it taste mighty fine since twiggaz just can't leave it alone. Anyway over the weekend Carmelo Anthony threatened Kat Stacks. He basically put a hit out on her over twitter with a 5 stacks grand prize. Her twitter page was just lit the fuck up over the weekend. Something about playing with 50 Cent blackberry as well. I guess she wants a shot at the NBA stars now. Lala came through and unleashed some BK and let it be known she would scrap a Kat Stacks down.
Kat Stacks is mad at me because she said I tried to set her up on my radio show because Bart cleared some things up but I can't control what people say on my radio show. Kat Stacks know I love her. I mean she keep the internet buzzing don't front. She is more entertaining than most of these corny urban bloggers. Oh yeah and for some reason her and Jenna Shea are cool again. Now Kat Stack you know she just wants to ride your wave again since the Soulja Boy coke incident got you popping like fish grease.
Brown allegedly called Rihanna wack over twitter. It seems like since Kanye has been the next best thing to twitter since the trending topic #Lilmamais (I still crack up at that) every celeb wants to control their own twitter account. Rihanna decided she wanted to take control on twitter and sent out a tweet letting it be known there will be no more corny label tweets. After that Chris Brown tweeted. Twitter just got wack! Now this could be a reach because lord knows what he was talking about. #imjustsayin innocent until proven guilty.
DJ Jazzy Jeff was kicked out an event dedicated to DJ AM (may he rest in peace) this past week in Las Vegas. This comes off as a surprise beacause he was the headlining DJ for the event. Word is management was not happy with the music DJ Jazzy Jeff was playing and decided to have him escorted out by security. Now this had to be a damper on the party. I wonder what caused this? DJ Jazzy Jeff is known to be one of the best DJs on earth.
So Young Buck. Yeah remember him? He use to roll with 50 Cent and G-Unit. He became a member when Yayo got locked up.Got it now? Ok lets go on because I can't front I almost forgot who he was as well. Young Buck will be dropping his street album "The Rehab" after all. I guess this is good news. I just hope Young Buck still has some fire in him to unleash on the mic. It will be a great disappointment if he releases some wack material after all this time.
Black Rob wants to sign with Diddy again. Yuuup! yes he does. If you saw the videos of where he threw Diddy under the bus and then scooped him from under the bus then you would know the scoop.. Black Rob bashed Diddy for being a snake and something about stealing G-Dep. I am still not clear on that part so get me to lying. Black Rob did state he would like to reconcile with the label. I don't know why would Black Rob want to do that. Diddy can barely get Last Train 2 Paris off the shelve. I mean lets face it Diddy is washed up when it comes to this music thing. Black Rob your past your prime go get a independent deal and sitdown.com/shutup. #thatisall (Illseed doesn't agree! Sign BR, Diddy!)
Lauryn Hill Rocks the Bells with Mary J Blige, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Chris Rock and John Legend. Some legends just will always have it because she rocked out for sure. Now about that fit she was rocking don't ask me because I don't even have a clue. I don't think we up on that yet.Kelly Rowland just give my homie illseed one date. Just one.
We Hip-Hop Baby!
Jazzy F signing off but oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys that I am Kat Stacks' tutor. We are currently working on times tables.
Follow me on TWITTER @itsJazzyFBaby
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> Hattie's Restaurant is once again throwing its big annual bash, the Mardi Gras Soirée, to benefit one lucky Spa City nonprofit.
The party, known as The Mardi Gras of the North, is scheduled to take place from 6 to 10 p.m. on Saturday at the Canfield Casino, located within Congress Park in downtown Saratoga Springs.
Festive decor, live entertainment and New Orleans cuisine are all part of the yearly Mardi Gras Soirée - along with giving back to the community.
Every year a local non-for–profit is chosen to be the recipient of the proceeds from the fundraiser. This year, the money will help AIM Services, Inc., a longtime Saratoga Springs-based organization that provides residential and community-based services to more than 1,000 people with disabilities in the region.
On why the event committee chose AIM Services, Inc. for 2018, "They're a wonderful organization," Beth said. "We just thought that this would be a great opportunity to help them out."
For the nonprofit, "Its huge," said AIM Services executive director Chris Lyons, adding that this is anticipated to be the largest fundraising event in the agency's nearly 40-year history. "We feel very grateful that Hattie's has chosen us as a beneficiary for Mardi Gras this year. It has historically been the winter event to benefit charities in the area, and being ranked among those prior beneficiaries is so important to the people in this community."
Money raised at the event is expected to go toward helping individuals with disabilities who need funds that are not covered by normal funding streams, Lyons said. "They'll have the opportunity to do those community-based activities because of the community's generosity in attending and sponsoring this event." Funds will also be used to support the growing organization's enhanced respite program.
Now in its 18th year, the Mardi Gras event, traditionally held on the Saturday of Martin Luther King weekend in January, was created as a way to carry out original owner Miss Hattie's legacy of charitable giving, explained restaurant co-owner Beth Alexander. "She had always helped people and had always given back to the community, and we tried to think of a way to continue on her legacy, so we created Mardi Gras."
To date, the event has raised approximately $750,000 for the community, including past beneficiaries Caffe Lena, Saratoga Hospital, Jake's Help From Heaven, Shelters of Saratoga, Franklin Community Center and Saratoga Performing Arts Center. The Mardi Gras Soirée typically raises between $50,00 and $100,000, depending on the year. Alexander's goal is to reach a grand total of $1 million raised in the future.
As in years past, Michael Panza and his team from Fine Affairs plan to transform the Canfield Casino into New Orleans of the North.
Hundreds of attendees will come prepared to dance the night away to the sounds of Garland Nelson and Soul Session, the official Mardi Gras band.
During cocktail hour, when guests will receive one complimentary Mardi Gras cocktail, Dylan Perrillo Orchestra will provide live music.
Additionally, there will be a special appearance by the Northeast Ballet Mardi Gras dancers.
Many enjoy the culinary expertise of Hattie's Restaurant co-owner and chef Jasper Alexander, who will prepare a spread including a raw bar, gumbo, jambalaya and ribs. "This is one party you don't go hungry at," Beth said.
"It's a great party," Beth said. "It's basically eat and dance and have fun - kind of like what you do in New Orleans."
A cash bar will be available all evening, along with a photo booth by local photographer Heather Bohm-Tallman.
The event will also feature raffle and silent auction.
Guests are invited to come in casual or fancy attire. Some event-goers like wearing masquerade masks for the party.
Many past attendees keep coming back to the Mardi Gras Soirée year after year. "Were just so fortunate to have people who come to this party every year, and people who support it, which is just so important," Beth said. "It's great that we have a loyal Mardi Gras clientele."
Valet parking will be available at the venue.
More information about the annual Mardi Gras Soirée is available online at hattiesrestaurant.com/mardi-gras.
Tickets, which are $100 per person, can be purchased online at www.aimservicesinc.org/events/hatties-mardi-gras-2018/.

Scarlett Johansson plays the anaesthetist attending to Butch, beneath whose frosty surface lies a yearning, fiery, untamed passion.

Meetup and WeWork Partner for Meeting Spaces
I've written about the lack of good meeting spaces before. Here's somebody actually doing something about it. Meetup and WeWork are partnering to provide places for meetings. See their announcement. For now, it's free for a limited number of meetups. Let's hope when they start charging that it's reasonable. One co-working space we used to use charged $250 for a two-hour evening meetup. For 20 people, this was a tough sell.

A Couple of New WordPress Meetups
A couple of new WordPress meetups popped up on my email today:
Woodstock WordPress Meetup and Conyers WordPress Meetup.
Is there an official WordPress Meetup Starter Kit? The descriptions of these two groups are strangely similar. Check it out.
Make and Repair
I think the makerspace movement should join forces with the RepairCafe movement. Those that are good at making things are probably also good at repairing things. This would generate positive press for their local makerspace and be an effective community service.
ALE Central Moving!
In Today's Mailbag:
Hi Everyone!
As many people know, our hosting at Emory University with the BioMedical Informatics department in the School of Medicine is coming to an end. With the upcoming move to the department's new space comes new security policies that will be problematic for access for non-Emory people. Not to mention being 6 blocks (uphill both ways) away from parking!
So ALE-Central will be moving it's meetings to the Decatur Makers space (605 W. Ponce De Leon Ave, Decatur, GA) a very short walk away from The Marlay House (a nice Irish pub) and a short drive away from the The Brickstore Pub and Twains and Mac McGees (3 wateringholes I have personally attended many times - Twains has pool and shuffleboard and is a brewpub!). Beginning in March 21, ALE will also shift the meeting time for ALE Central to the third TUESDAY of each month.
None of this will affect the other ALE meetings/meetups so if you don't make the monthly, formal meetings, no problem.
Counterpoint Hackerspace
There's a new hackerspace in Roswell called Counterpoint Hackerspace. They've just moved in to their new space as of October 2016. Their website doesn't have a lot of info as of yet. From their Meetup Page:
We are Counterpoint. Counterpoint is a hackerspace for technical-creative projects, doocratically run by our members. We are a non-profit educational institution intended for public benefit. Come and visit our space located in Roswell, Georgia. We teach, we learn, we share.
New Kubernetes Meetup
There's a new Kubernetes meetup forming. From their Meetup page:
Meet other developers and users of Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions. Kubernetes can run almost anywhere, including Google Compute Engine, Vagrant, CoreOS, Azure, vSphere, RackSpace, etc. Learn more about Kubernetes at http://kubernetes.io
PyData Atlanta
From their Meetup page:
PyData-Atlanta is interested in telling insightful stories about data and exploring the methods behind those stories. We advocate for open data ecosystems and workflows that center on open source tools, especially (but not exclusively) based in Python. We are focused on the vertical integration of tools and skills that transform raw data into insights, and we aim to provide a seminar-like learning environment. We host short interactive presentations, audience-contributed lightning talks, panel discussions, and informal networking opportunities. Our events can benefit both experienced and beginner data scientists alike.
Announced in the September 2016 meeting, this meetup is already the 6th largest PyData meetup in the world. Way to go!
