Officials Pledge to Fix Federal Hiring ProcessApplying for a job with the federal government can be a miserable experience.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) announced its All-Conference teams for men's soccer on Tuesday afternoon, and freshman forward Christian Therkelsen garnered First Team honors. He is joined on the all-star squad by junior defender Nitin Perumbeti, who was named to the Second Team.
MIT has had at least one member of its men's soccer team named to the All-Conference First Team each year since the NEWMAC's inception in 1998.
Therkelsen was the only rookie in the conference to earn First Team accolades, and the Norwegian striker was also the first MIT freshman to garner such honors since Nick Nestle in 2000. He recorded eight goals for a total of 16 points to lead the Engineers in both categories, while his impressive statistics also placed him sixth in the NEWMAC in goals and tied for ninth in points. Therkelsen burst onto the intercollegiate scene in early September, netting the winning goal in each of his first two contests to earn conference Player of the Week honors and solidify his reputation as a goal-scoring threat.
Perumbeti, who also earned Second Team honors after his freshman season in 2005, started all 16 of MIT's games this season, providing the backbone for a defense which conceded just 19 times for a goals-against-average of 1.13.
Babson's junior forward Tim Winn was named Athlete of the Year for the second straight season after once again leading the NEWMAC in goals (17) and points (37). Wheaton midfielder Kyle Sye earned Rookie of the Year plaudits, while Coast Guard head coach Chris Parsons was honored as the Coach of the Year.

* Natural Easter Basket With Cat Grass
Every year, we grow "natural" Easter baskets
with cat grass instead of the usual shredded paper grass.
You have to actually remember to start them at least a week before you need them.
First we line our Easter Baskets with aluminum pans.
Crafty Recycling at it's finest.... (leftover from our favorite dinner rolls!)
This way, we can remove the trays easily after Easter and turn them into Fairy Gardens!
You could also use round cake pans.
Cat Grass seeds mixed with potting soil.
Might as well grow something the kitty can safely enjoy when we're done...
(I think some people grow Wheat Grass for their baskets)
Find a safe sunny spot indoors for your seeds to germinate.
"C"'s job is to water our baskets with her spray bottle.
Yes... that was blue painter's tape on my doors,
we were remodeling when these photos were taken...
this is old photo from a couple of years ago.
Our baskets sit by the door, waiting for some sun... and misting from little friends.

Teaching Teachers Mathematics: Research, Ideas, Projects, Evaluation (PDF 15.27MB) Teaching Teachers Mathematics, a 3-day workshop scheduled for May 30 June 1, 2007, will be the fourth in a series of workshops sponsored by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley, CA. Previous workshops have addressed issues related to assessment, the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching, and equity. Building on the issues investigated in these previous workshops, this workshop will focus concretely on courses, programs and materials that aim to increase teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching. Both courses and programs that lead to initial certification and professional development of current teachers will be examined at the workshop. In addition, the workshop will examine efforts by colleges, universities, school districts, professional organizations and funding agencies to support people who teach these courses or lead these workshops. These questions guide the workshop design:
- How can courses and programs for teachers be designed and structured so as to increase teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching? What are the features, strengths, and drawbacks of different approaches?
- What materials exist for use in teaching teachers mathematics? What are their features? What is known about their usability and effectiveness?
- Who teaches teachers mathematics and how is their work supported? What can we learn about the factors that enhance the teaching of mathematics for teachers?
The audience for the workshop includes mathematicians, mathematics educators, classroom teachers and education researchers who are concerned with improving teachers' opportunities to gain the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching. The workshop will showcase courses, programs and curriculum materials whose goal is to increase teachers' knowledge of mathematics and examine how the mathematical education of teachers relates to the many other aspects of teachers' professional training and education.

These collected presentation materials are posted here temporaily until the lecture videos have been encoded and made available for download. Download Schedule with Abstracts (pdf file) MSRI and the workshop organizers are especially interested in encouraging mathematicians to participate in this workshop, as mathematics departments often have primary responsibility for offering mathematics courses aimed at developing teachers' mathematical knowledge---yet mathematicians are among the most vocal critics of teachers' knowledge of mathematics. This workshop offers the opportunity to learn more about programs that are successful at teaching teachers mathematics. Sponsored by:

I've had a lot of meetings the last couple weeks at my other job, so it has been a more dressy couple weeks than usual. I like to add a subtle color against the typical white, black, and navy work ensemble. These pencil skirtsare an easy way to add that detail (see the neon pink one I wore ).
I'm so excited about these white embossed pumps. I've been looking for a white pump that has a little more shizam, and the subtle texture on these is perfect. I've found one of the keys to wearing multiple pieces of white is mixing textures.

Belcher reportedly apologized, kissed girlfriend after
After murdering his 22-year-old girlfriend, Jovan Belcher leaned over to say he was sorry and kissed her on the forehead, according to The Kansas City Star.
The paper reports that Belcher's mother watched the tragic goodbye after rushing into her son's bedroom when she heard gunfire. Then, according to The Star, Belcher apologized to his mother before kissing his 3-month-old daughter and departing for the Chiefs' complex.
Jovan Belcher reportedly told girlfriend Kasandra Perkins he was sorry and kissed her on the cheek shortly after murdering her in their bedroom Saturday. (Via Instagram)
MORE: No easy answers as Kansas City Chiefs grapple with emotions
More details continue to emerge in the aftermath of Belcher's murder-suicide Saturday that ended with the Chiefs linebacker taking his own life in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot as general manager Scott Pioli, head coach Romeo Crennel and linebackers coach Gary Gibbs looked on.
Police say the Chiefs had been providing counseling to Belcher and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins. Police Sgt. Richard Sharp told The Star that the couple had been arguing over relationship and financial issues for months and that the team had been "bending over backward" trying to help them.
According to the New York Post, Belcher had dinner with another woman Friday night before staying over at her apartment. After returning to his home on the 5400 block of Crysler Avenue, The Star reports that he and Perkins were heard arguing.
That's when the yelling, and ultimately the gunfire, began.
PHOTOS: Jovan Belcher tragedy makes for emotional game day in Kansas City
Upon arriving to the Chiefs' facility, Belcher was met by Pioli and Crennel. Amid pleas from both to spare his own life, Belcher thanked them for all they'd done for him.
"I got to go," Belcher reportedly said, according to The Star. "I can't be here."
From behind a vehicle, Belcher shot himself once in the head. He was taken to a hospital, where he died, the police report states.
Police spokesman Darin Snapp said Monday that Belcher's mother, who had been staying with the couple, was given temporary custody of the couple's daughter. But, he said, it was unclear Monday if the grandmother and baby were still in the Kansas City area or if they had returned to Belcher's home in West Babylon, N.Y. Perkins was from the Austin, Texas, area.

Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles and his wife, Whitney, also released a statement Monday asking for privacy. In it, the Charles' confirmed that Perkins and Whitney Charles were cousins, and that Perkins was "not only family, but a friend and a loving mother."
"As my actual family and my Kansas City Chiefs family have been altered forever, we ask that you keep us and most importantly their child in prayer," the Charles' statement said.
Brianne York, 21, a friend of Perkins, said Sunday that Perkins met Belcher through Whitney Charles.
Belcher's relatives also provided statements Monday, as several relatives gathered outside of Belcher's boyhood home, looking somber and sad. Yamiesse Lawrence, a cousin of Belcher's, said the weekend's events were an "inconceivable tragedy."
"As a family, no words can express the sorrow we feel over the loss of Jovan and Kasandra," Lawrence read aloud.
She said the family is "overwhelmed with both sadness and confusion," and extends thoughts and prayers to the Perkins family.

What do the new zone classification system markings mean, and how do they apply to specific equipment applications?
Art.505 of the 1996 NEC introduces North American electrical personnel to the concept of "Zones" in classifying hazardous (classified) locations. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) developed the Zone approach, which has been heretofore typically associated with European electrical installations.
In the NEC, hazardous (classified) locations are broken down first by Class, with Class I for gases and vapors in areas where they are or may be present in sufficient quantity to form ignitable or explosive mixtures with air. Class II locations include combustible dusts, and Class III locations cover fibers or flyings, such as at some textile mills, which could be present in a suspension in air so as to be readily ignitable.
The Zone classification system presently covered in the NEC is used only for Class I locations, and so this article will not cover Class II and Class III locations. Under the new system, locations are divided into zones based on the likelihood of an explosive gas/vapor mixture being present:
* Class I, Zone 0. This is an area in which an explosive atmosphere is always present or could be for long periods of time. Examples include the space above the fluid level of a vented tank holding combustible liquid and a similar area in a wet-pit. This zone, plus Zone 1 below, comprise the areas that under the traditional system are classified as Division 1. In effect, the zone system splits the traditional Division 1 into two zones. This allows equipment to be designed for the lesser hazards associated with Zone 1 instead of having to always be designed for Zone 0, the worst case. If possible, electrical equipment should not be installed in a Zone 0 area, and the NEC prohibits all power wiring in these areas.
* Class I, Zone 1. This is an area in which an explosive mixture with air is likely to occur periodically under normal operating conditions, but not for long periods of time. This zone also includes areas in which ignitable concentrations may exist frequently due to repair or maintenance, or leakage. In addition, this zone includes areas where a hazardous mixture could result from an equipment breakdown or faulty operation that would simultaneously cause an electrical failure of a type that could cause ignition. Finally, this zone generally exists adjacent to Zone 0 locations unless special safeguards are in place.
* Class I, Zone 2. This is an area in which an explosive or ignitable mixture with air is possible due to the use of hazardous materials, but which would be unlikely to occur because they are normally contained in closed containers or systems and would only be released because of a rupture or other accidental breakdown. This zone also includes areas under positive pressure that excludes hazardous agents but that would become hazardous if the ventilation failed and areas adjacent to Zone I locations unless special safeguards are in place. In sum, these areas are similar to Class I Division 2 areas, but with additional general language that allows this classification where hazardous conditions are unlikely. If they do occur, the exposure will be only for a short period.
Equipment categories
Under the IEC classification system, equipment is rated based on the protective features it uses. In the U.S., the basic ratings will be for location (i.e., Class I, Zone 1, etc.), but you should be aware of the protective categories that will be used, particularly since some of those categories may look to be similar to existing NEC terminology and yet carry listings for zone locations that don't correlate with current NEC allowances. The equipment categories are:
* Flameproof. This is essentially the same as explosionproof. The parts of the electrical device that could ignite an explosive atmosphere are contained within an enclosing structure, typically with a flame path that won't allow ignition of the surrounding atmosphere. The enclosure can withstand the pressure created within it by exploding the worst-case explosive mixture of the appropriate gas group, and then allow for the release of hot gases slowly enough to cool them so ignition can't occur. IEC Symbol Exd.
* Increased safety. Here, constraints are put on insulation requirements and clearances and creepage distances between conducting parts. Therefore, the possibility of a potentially incendive fault occurring is reduced to a level that is thought to be acceptable. This is only applicable to apparatus that does not arc or spark or generate temperatures high enough to cause ignition in normal operation, including fluorescent light fixtures. IEC Symbol Exe.
Note that some categories may be combined. For example, there are switch contact blocks constructed with flame paths suitable for flameproof applications but installed in increased safety enclosures. The resulting mark, Exde, reflects IEC rules that require arcing components of increased safety apparatus themselves to be flameproof.
* Encapsulation. This method involves a gastight seal around the arcing contacts by embedding in epoxy or similar mastic, or using methods similar to hermetic sealing by fusion as recognized traditionally and now covered in Sec. 500-2(a)(8). This isn't suitable for Zone 0 locations and therefore is excluded from Div. 1 locations under the traditional methods, since some Div. 1 locations are similar to Zone 0 areas. Under the new system, however, this method can be allowed in both Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments. IEC Symbol Exm.
* Pressurized enclosure. The penetration of an explosive atmosphere into an enclosure is prevented by the constant presence of a safe gas inside the enclosure at a pressure that is greater than the surrounding atmosphere. This equipment can be used with the same applications as flame-proof enclosures. In addition, this protective technique can be used for very large equipment or even entire rooms. The technique is similar to the purged and pressurized systems recognized in Sec. 500-2 (a)(3) for conventional work. IEC Symbol Exp.
* Intrinsic safety. Intrinsically safe apparatus is apparatus in which all the circuits are intrinsically safe. A circuit is intrinsically safe if under test conditions - which incorporate normal operation and certain fault conditions - no sparks or thermal effects are produced that will ignite the specified atmosphere. Applications include some very low-energy measurement and control equipment, such as thermocouples.
There are two levels of intrinsic safety under IEC procedures: "ia," which requires two separate failures in order to allow a future hazard to develop; and "ib," which requires one failure before a future hazard could develop. Under the zone system, Type "ia" protection is required in Zone 0 locations and Type "ib" is allowable in Zone 1 locations. This will be a new distinction for our market. Class I Div. 1 locations under the traditional method include both Zone 0 and Zone 1 areas, and therefore traditional equipment classified as intrinsically safe always meets the "ia" protective level. IEC Symbol Exi with suffix "a" or "b."
* Oil immersed. Electrical equipment of this nature has all arcing parts submerged in oil to a sufficient depth that will prevent ignition of an explosive mixture that may be present above the surface of the oil. In addition, all live parts on which arcs do not occur in normal service are either immersed in oil or protected by some other recognized method. Under traditional classifications, this method is reserved for Div. 2, but under the new rules, it can be used in either Zone 1 or 2. Again, the reason for the difference is the fact that Zone 1 is more limited in the probability of hazard than Div. 1. IEC Symbol Exo.
* Powder (sand) filled. This is available for sealed enclosures with a sand or powder filling that will immediately quench an arc. This concept was added to the 1996 NEC for Class I Div. 2 locations in Sec. 501-6(b)(3) for hermetically sealed fuses that are of the "nonindicating, silver-sand, current-limiting type." IEC Symbol Exq.
* Nonincendive. These are circuits and components with which an arc or thermal effect normally isn't capable of igniting specified atmospheres under intended operating conditions, or upon opening, shorting, or grounding of the field wiring. These circuits aren't as restrictive as intrinsically safe circuits, and traditionally have been restricted to Div. 2 areas.
You will now see them in Class I Zone 2 locations as well, for obvious reasons. The principle is that since the occurrence of an ignition-capable fault, although possible, is very improbable. Since the presence of ignitable quantities of gas or vapors in Zone 2 areas is very infrequent, the probability of both occurring simultaneously is infinitesimal. Note that the NEC also allows nonincendive wiring in Zone 0 locations, provided it is essentially wired like Class I Div. 1 with heavy wall conduit or Type MI cable.
In addition to the traditional uses of the term "nonincendive," which relate to the ignition capabilities of the electric circuit (in terms of total energy storage, etc.), this category may be used for other protective systems that work under a similar principle of nonsimultaneous failures. For example (admittedly oversimplified), certain gasketed enclosures around nonarcing equipment may be acceptable in Zone 2; this type of procedure is sometimes referred to as "restricted breathing" and is being used in some parts of Europe. IEC Symbol Exn with possible suffixes, e.g., ExnR for restricted breathing.
Hierarchies and substitutions
Equipment tested for more extreme conditions can always be used in less extreme conditions. For example, any equipment that is allowable in Zone 0 can be used in either Zone 1 or Zone 2, and Zone 1 equipment can be used in Zone 2 locations.
In addition, equipment that is suitable for Class I Div. 1 can be used in Class I, Zone 1 or Zone 2 locations, and equipment suitable for Class I Div. 2 can be used in Class I, Zone 2 areas. The equipment must be evaluated in terms of an equivalent gas grouping, and any temperature limitations must be observed. This may be a common application given the widespread availability of traditional equipment.
Always remember that the majority of area classifications made under the NEC are specific to a given hazardous agent. An area that is entirely safe for gasoline vapor may violently explode when hydrogen is there instead. Never forget to track not just the class and zone, but also the specific flammable agent you will be working with. This must be supervised by a Registered Professional Engineer with proven qualifications, in accordance with Sec. 500-3, second paragraph.

This week's most unusual story line emerged spontaneously and unexpectedly from an interview of South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier by Dan Patrick. Spurrier, as in an effort as Patrick surmised to tweak Alabama coach Nick Saban, said that the Crimson Tide could roll over an NFL team.
The remark sparked a multi-day debate on the topic. But it's a stretch to actually call it a debate, because no one was willing to take the position that a college team could beat a pro team — or that a college team could even cover the 24-point spread that was hypothetically installed for a game that would never be anything more than hypothetical.
NFL Network's Heath Evans, however, would take the points — for Alabama or another high-profile college football powerhouse.
"I mean, honestly with a 24 point spread, it would be hard to bet against Nick [Saban]," Evans told ESPN 760 in West Palm Beach, Florida. "It really would. I could say that it'd be hard to bet against Oregon too. With Oregon's offense, if you had a week to game plan for it, guys aren't in good enough shape to play that offense. Defensively speaking, from an NFL team playing Oregon's offense, I'd take Oregon at that as well as I'd take Alabama."
Here's your chance to chime in. Cast a vote in the poll and elaborate in the comments.

Voyager 1 zips into solar system dispute
At the edge of the solar system, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has crossed over into true interstellar space, one astronomer reports. NASA, however, disagrees.
NASA's venerable Voyager I spacecraft may have become the first man-made object to leave the solar system, an astronomer suggests.
But NASA isn't buying it, at least not yet.
Scientists have been anticipating this moment for years but the boundary between the edge of the solar system and what's called interstellar space has been something of a moving target. Astronomers say it's the point where the stream of electrically changed particles from our sun, called the solar wind, peter out and in turn the cosmic rays from distant exploding stars coming from other directions become the dominant form of radiation.
The distances are somewhat mind-boggling. Pluto is about 3.7 billion miles from the sun. Voyager is now about 11 billion miles away, where any signal it sends takes 17 hours to reach Earth.
For several years, the spacecraft, launched in 1977, has been crossing through the edge of the "heliosphere," the bubble of charged solar particles created by the solar wind that shields our solar system from these distant galactic rays. The size of the heliosphere expands and contracts depending on the strength of the solar wind.
On Aug. 25, 2012, astronomers report in the Geophysical Research Letters journal, galactic cosmic ray intensity suddenly doubled as measured by the spacecraft, indicating it had traveled beyond the protection of the solar wind. This boundary marks the edge of the sun's heliosphere.
"The cosmic ray intensity went up as you would expect if it exited the heliosphere," said astronomer Bill Webber of New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, in a statement. The observation had been presented in December a scientific meeting, but hadn't been accepted for publication into a scientific journal, until now.
But the scientists behind the Voyager mission are taking issue with the finding. "The Voyager team is aware of reports today that NASA's Voyager 1 has left the solar system," said Caltech's Edward Stone, in a statement on the newly released study. "It is the consensus of the Voyager science team that Voyager 1 has not yet left the solar system or reached interstellar space. In December 2012, the Voyager science team reported that Voyager 1 is within a new region called 'the magnetic highway' where energetic particles changed dramatically. A change in the direction of the magnetic field is the last critical indicator of reaching interstellar space and that change of direction has not yet been observed."
Further, a Voyager mission guest investigator, astrophysicist Merav Opher of Boston University, disputes the idea that the spacecraft has actually left the solar system. "The magnetic field it measures is one completely dominated by the sun's influence," she says.
That means Voyager 1 is actually in a sort of newly discovered boundary region, Opher says, "one we never expected at the edge of the heliosphere." A series of papers from Voyager scientists will be published in upcoming weeks dealing with the dispute over the solar system's edge, she adds.

When your man has had a bad day at work, or a hard time just dealing with people through the day, or even if he is nice and relaxed.......surprise him with a nice, big sloppy blowjob. Remember, if you're still pretty when its done....you are not doing it right!!
I could tell my man had had a hard day at work when he walked through the door, I automatically stopped what I was doing and before he could get his coat off, I already had a sloppy in the works. And of course when I was done, I had no more make up on, sweaty hair, and a runny nose. That is how you do it ladies.

A Girl who is the one that you smile at and she sucks your dick. This is the one that you dont have to put any effort into, and you know she wants it. This is not a girl you have to talk to and get to know, this is the one that your see at a party drunk off her ass and no spitting game is needed. True sloppy girls dont even need to be drunk.
1)Now Camille is sloppy, just smile at her and she will sukc your dick.

A quality of a person who needs to get really wasted and gross in order to have a good time or impress/entertain others. TSloppy people drink and drink and drink, then holler and jump around for a bit before you have to just put them in a corner and watch them puke all over themselves. Great kodak->facebook opportunity.
Raquel is such a sloppy fool. There is now puke all over my basement and all of my parent's exotic beverages are empty and laying around her 'corner'.

We just had a meeting a few hours ago to go over a few details for our Fluid Power Conference & Expos this year, and it got me pumped for what is going to be a great year of fluid power training.
I know I'm a bit prejudiced when I say they're great events, but it's true — we bring an exclusive group of technical trainers and exhibitors together to give our attendees a great experience. And this year, we're holding the event in four locations, all great cities to boot!
I'm excited to attend WasteExpo May 20-23 for the first time ever, as we once again co-locate our Fluid Power Conference & Expo at this event. Thrilled to return to New Orleans, one of my favorite cities in this country (oh, the food!), and thrilled to see the largest exhibition of the waste reduction and recycling market for the first time. Once again, Bob Sheaf of CFC-Solar will be joining our panel of industry presenters to lead the conference here.
Then we head up to the Milwaukee School of Engineering June 11-12, where Tom Wanke of MSOE and Bob Sheaf will pack a one-two punch of basics and troubleshooting sessions, as well as others presented by industry members. This event's got me excited because like Cleveland, Milwaukee is a beautiful little city on the lake. Having visited this hotbed of fluid power twice for work, I'm excited to return once again to MSOE and have a chance to see the Grohmann Museum on campus, which highlights The Man at Work Collection. I unfortunately never had time to visit this museum on my prior visits but have heard nothing but good things about it. We'll be having breakfast there on day two of the conference, sponsored by Price Engineering. And once again, we'll cap off day one with a cocktail hour and poster session from CCEFP/MSOE students, sponsored by Brand Hydraulics.
Next up we're heading down to Louisville for ICUEE October 1-3, where we will host one day of conferences. This will be another enjoyable trip down memory lane for me, as ICUEE was my first-ever trade show I attended in my life, and most impotantly, as a member of the H&P staff.
And then we head south once again to Nashville Novembe 6-7, yet another city I have a soft spot in my heart for! I've been down there a few times as a child and adult but had the pleasure of visiting that great city for a travel press trip in my news reporting days. Looking forward to seeing the city of country again and seeing the esteemed Vanderbilt University campus, as we locate at this CCEFP university.
Helping put these events together is a lot of work, but we're excited for a great year. Hope you'll join in my excitement!
