Are any of you here CBers?
We have 2 very old call signs and seven channel sets.These days no license is required in our country.Our ground plane is about 35 years old.With a little work and checking on the SWR we could be back on air.Have you ever recieved skip from our country.

Last-ditch emergency pager.... check.
Bluetooth earbud headset... check.
Satellite radio receiver... check.
CB..... huh?
CB? What's a CB? Wasn't that done
with the old spark-gap equipment in
morse code or something?
I like CB's a lot but living in a rich people city, the antenna gives you a mountain folk look. (by the way theres to classes of people in my town, Mountain People and city people) and since I live in the mountains, I'm Mountain folk, and living in the mountains I rarley get reception. but when I do, oh it's heaven. The handle I go by is usally Joethebeekeeper. the only other time I use the CB is when I'm going up and down highway 5 but they can normally tell I'm a teen cause I just say stupid stuff like "how about them seat covers?"
I fond out how to get more channels on my old CB in the lower frequencies, but am also interested in increasing the WATTS since I live in the hills, would I have to get a new transformer or is it more complicated?
[This message has been edited by Got Honey? (edited November 19, 2004).]
"how about them seat covers?" Even though I really have no interest in CBs, I gotta tell ya, THAT gave me a chuckle.
Thanks, Joseph
It's Not The Destination, It's The Journey. We Cannot Change The Wind, But We CAN Trim The Sails.

Rater a showoff I would say or what.
Bob Russell
I have talked skip all around the world.I have old equpmet too.A browning mark III and a 4 elament beam antena plus a big watt box.
I have not one of the things on your list either lol.Have enough with the computer.
Got Honey?
More watts is easy but like everthing else coasts money.The more watts the more money just like bees lol.If you are useing a mobile radio a nice amp would do the trick
Do you know what is ment by seat covers?
Any way I am not on the cb all that much but it is another one of my hobbies.if i am on the air I will be on chanel 28 (27.285)AM.
Beekeeper in the Buckeye State
> Rater a showoff I would say or what.
An very amusing comment from someone who
clearly spent his own hard-earned cash
on a PC for at least $500, and got on the
internet for at least $10 a month sometime
in the past 10 years.
Hey pot, I'm a kettle, not much different
from you!
I may earn a living in the 21st century, but
I like to live in the 19th. The commute would
be a pain, so I use the modern version(s) of
"CB Radio", which was the point I was trying to make.
Five years ago, lots of folks would go
outside during breaks at beekeeper meetings
to smoke. Now, more than half of beekeepers
carry a cellphone without thinking themselves
"showoffs". They run outside to make a call
during the breaks. Few smoke any more, but they
still congregate in the SAME exact areas!
One is forced to wonder what they did before.
I never saw a line at a pay-phone at any
beekeeper meeting, ever.
The adoption of all these "wireless" tools has
been much quicker in Europe and Asia than in
North America, mostly because their population
densities are higher, and one needs fewer "towers"
to serve "everyone". Go to Asia, and you will see
high-tech wireless communications JEWELRY!
Cellphones in watches. MP3 music players in necklace
pendants, for Pete's sake!
Wait a bit. I assure you that you will be able to
call me a "showoff" in a few years using one or
more of the exact devices I listed, because you too
will own them all, or some sort of integrated device
that does even more than they do. After all, you
would have called me a "showoff" for merely owning
my own computer back in the 1970s or 1980s, let alone
mentioning "the internet".
Beekeepers are rarely "in the office", so all these
tiny techno-toys are more use to beekeepers than most
other folks.
Now, if you'll excuse me, the dairy farmer up the road
wants me to help him install a new satellite antenna
on his tractor. He fertilizes using a GPS unit tied
to an onboard laptop on his tractor that is loaded with
soil data gathered from remote-sensing satellite data.
He bought all the technology because it results in better
hay, but refuses to put air conditioning in his tractor
on the grounds that THAT would be "showing off".
"More watts is easy but like everthing else coasts money.The more watts the more money just like bees lol.If you are useing a mobile radio a nice amp would do the trick"
Do these work both input and out put or just on output?
now I sound like a new guy dang it. What do you call atruck full of beehives? there has to be a name for them.
Hey, JOseph, sorry to change the subject, but how are your bees doing out there? Hadn't heard from you in awhile and was curious. It was kind of a rough summer here. Back to the discussion at hand...
Sorry, wasn't into CB's even back in the 70's when they were hot.
Hey Dragonfly.
bees did ok this only three gallons of honey, but it ok considering weare on our 4th year of drought. you can e-mail me if ya want to. [email protected], or anyone for that matter, need to talk to all of you people.
Back to CB radios, another question any of you ever played the cat and mouse game? I've been trying to get a group together but none of my friends want to so far.
[email protected]
PS if any of you have AIM I'm joethebeekeeper on that
Got Honey?,
The amp will work on both input and output. Input gain is usually just a few db.
It is not legal to use a CB radio to talk to stations over 150 miles distant. "Working skip," "shooting skip," or talking around the world is a violation of FCC rules.
> "Working skip," "shooting skip," or talking
> around the world is a violation of FCC rules.
Atmospheric conditions are beyond the
control of even the all-powerful FCC.
They are more the concern of NOAA, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, not that they can actually
"administer" the atmosphere.
As long as one stays within the power limits
imposed on each type of broadcast license,
the FCC will not care how one uses that
I'm in Virginia, and on a good night, I

my cb I want to modify is just to listen to, since the microphone is all messed up I have no choice, and I'm not going to screw with my working CB. And my nearest nieghboor is ten miles away so I'm not to worried about someone finding out.
Ok is there anything we can talk about with out doom and gloom.
Should have included a "wink, wink" with my comment. The law is still on the books. How they could possibly enforce it is another thing.
Why the FCC established a personal radio service within the shortwaves, and then imposed a distance limit...doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Part 95 applies to CB specifically, not hams or broadcasters. But sure, fire up the TRAM and Moonraker and go for it. C'maaan DX Laaaand )

Utah Same-Sex Marriage Ban Rejected by Federal Appeals Court
Ruling Could Set Stage for Supreme Court Battle
A federal appeals court on Wednesday found Utah's laws banning same-sex marriage unconstitutional, setting up a possible return trip to the Supreme Court for the hot-button issue.
Federal courts in several states have struck down bans on gay marriage in recent months. But Wednesday's ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver is particularly significant because it is the first by a court of that stature, which is ranked just below the Supreme Court, since a landmark ruling by the high court last June. Then,...

If I have a sentence:
There are many stories which have been told about a ghost that haunted this castle. Strangely, ... (the ghost) has never appeared in front of my face for 10 years.
I notice that when it comes to "spirit, dark force", many people use "it" instead of making it personalized by using "she/he" as the subject pronoun.
Should I use the subject pronoun "he/she" or "it" to refer to the ghost?

Path Makes Social Search Personal
Dec 21, 2012 6:00 AM PT
Path, a social networking startup designed for the mobile environment, on Thursday launched a new social search feature that is both simple and highly intuitive -- and that plays to Path's unique strengths as a private mobile social network.
Here's how it works: A user launches the search function via the new search field at the top of the Path home screen, and is then presented with a number of searchable categories, including names, months, places, moments, weather, seasons, time, emotion, birthday and holiday.
A user might search for "rainy day in New Orleans" or "winter in Washington, D.C.," or "Mom happy at her birthday party" or "Dad funny at Sunday dinner," for example. Searching by time might bring up magazine articles read on a certain Sunday, or a list of everything logged for the month of July.
Another feature, called "Nearby," brings up moments captured near the user's current location. Personalized search suggestions also will pop up when the search bar is tapped.
Not Google's Flavor of Search
Clearly this is not a search feature that Google could ever hope to rival, at least in terms of personalization. In short, Path, which bills itself as a private social network and a smart journal, has built a search feature that almost redefines the meaning of search.
"Path positions itself as a boutique-level social network, and the search function permits a boutique-style search approach to curating and accessing material, much as we associate the present with the past memories," Rich Hanley, director of the graduate journalism program at Quinnipiac University, told TechNewsWorld.
"We know the dates of events and can retrieve our emotional state in the physical world," he continued. "Path approximates this approach in social media."
Here is another way to look at it: "Think of Facebook as Home Depot with long aisles to travel before reaching a pile of stuff, and Path as a local hardware store owned by the person who lives in the apartment above it," suggested Hanley.
Path's scale is small and personal, he emphasized, and it is betting that small, personal and searchable is what social media ought to be about.
Search Rules for Path
The function also comes with its own guidelines for searching effectively. Path advises users that using "my" is a great way to search for moments posted or tagged, for example, and that "or" works in searches for multiple people. It's a good idea to avoid punctuation in search terms. Also, emoticons can be used to search for emotions.
Path Search is being rolled out incrementally and only in English. It can be downloaded to an iPhone or iPad at the App Store, or to Android devices at Google Play.

Israeli Attack: Desperate Bid to Save Failed Syrian Campaign
Tony Cartalucci, Contributor
Activist Post
Israel has conducted airstrikes in Syria based on "suspicions" of chemical weapon transfers, in a flagrant violation of the UN Charter, international law, and in direct violation of Syria's sovereignty. The Guardian in its report titled, "Israel carries out air strike on Syria," claims:
Israeli warplanes have attacked a target close to the Syrian-Lebanese border following several days of heightened warnings from government officials over Syria's stockpiles of weapons.
It also stated:
Israel has publicly warned that it would take military action to prevent the Syrian regime's chemical weapons falling into the hands of Hezbollah in Lebanon or "global jihadists" fighting inside Syria. Israeli military intelligence is said to be monitoring the area round the clock via satellite for possible convoys carrying weapons.
In reality, these "global jihaidists" are in fact armed and funded by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel since at least as early as 2007. They are also in fact the direct beneficiaries of Israel's recent aggression. The Israeli "suspicions" of "weapon transfers" of course, remain unconfirmed, because the purpose of the attack was not to prevent the transfer of "chemical weapons" to Hezbollah in Lebanon, but to provoke a wider conflict aimed not at Israel's defense, but at salvaging the West's floundering proxy terrorist forces inside Syria attempting to subvert and overthrow the Syrian nation.
The silence from the United Nations is deafening. While Turkey openly harbors foreign terrorists, arming and funding them with Western, Saudi, and Qatari cash as they conduct raids on neighboring Syria, any Syrian attack on Turkish territory would immediately result in the United Nations mobilizing. Conversely, Turkey is allowed, for years, to conduct air strikes and even partial ground invasions of neighboring Iraq to attack Kurdish groups accused of undermining Turkish security. It is clear the same double standard has long applied to Israel.
Israel, along with the US & Saudi Arabia, are Al Qaeda's chief sponsors.
It must be remembered that as far back as 2007, it was admitted by US, Saudi and Lebanese officials that the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia were intentionally arming, funding, and organizing these "global jihadists" with direct ties to Al Qaeda for the explicit purpose of overthrowing the governments of Syria and Iran.
Reported by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his New Yorker article, "The Redirection," it was stated (emphasis added):
To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabia's government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.
Of Israel it specifically stated:
The policy shift has brought Saudi Arabia and Israel into a new strategic embrace, largely because both countries see Iran as an existential threat. They have been involved in direct talks, and the Saudis, who believe that greater stability in Israel and Palestine will give Iran less leverage in the region, have become more involved in Arab-Israeli negotiations.
Additionally, Saudi Arabian officials mentioned the careful
balancing act their nation must play in order to conceal its role in supporting US-Israeli ambitions across the region:
The Saudi said that, in his country's view, it was taking a political risk by joining the U.S. in challenging Iran: Bandar is already seen in the Arab world as being too close to the Bush Administration. "We have two nightmares," the former diplomat told me. "For Iran to acquire the bomb and for the United States to attack Iran. I'd rather the Israelis bomb the Iranians, so we can blame them. If America does it, we will be blamed."
It may interest readers to know that while France invades and occupies large swaths of Mali in Africa, accusing the Qataris of funding and arming Al Qaeda-linked terrorist groups in the region, France, the US, and Israel are working in tandem with the Qataris to fund and arm these very same groups in Syria.
In fact, the US-based think-tank, the Brookings Institution literally has a "Doha Center" based in Qatar while US-Israeli citizen Haim Saban's Brookings "Saban Center" conducts meetings and has many of its board of directors based likewise in Doha, Qatar.
Doha also served as the venue for the creation of the West's most recent "Syrian Coalition," headed by an unabashed supporter of Al Qaeda, Moaz al-Khatib.
These are part of the brick and mortar manifestation of the conspiracy documented by Seymour Hersh in 2007.
The Wall Street Journal, also in 2007, reported on the US Bush Administration's plans of creating a partnership with Syria's Muslim Brotherhood, noting the group is the ideological inspiration for linked terror organizations including Al Qaeda itself. In the article titled, "To Check Syria, U.S. Explores Bond With Muslim Brothers," it states:
On a humid afternoon in late May, about 100 supporters of Syria's largest exile opposition group, the National Salvation Front, gathered outside Damascus's embassy here to protest Syrian President Bashar Assad's rule. The participants shouted anti-Assad slogans and raised banners proclaiming: "Change the Regime Now."
The NSF unites liberal democrats, Kurds, Marxists and former Syrian officials in an effort to transform President Assad's despotic regime. But the Washington protest also connected a pair of more unlikely players -- the U.S. government and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The article would also report:
U.S. diplomats and politicians have also met with legislators from parties connected to the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Egypt and Iraq in recent months to hear their views on democratic reforms in the Middle East, U.S. officials say. Last month, the State Department's intelligence unit organized a conference of Middle East experts to examine the merits of engagement with the Brotherhood, particularly in Egypt and Syria.
It describes the ideological and operational links between the Brotherhood and Al Qaeda:
Today, the Brotherhood's relationship to Islamist militancy, and al Qaeda in particular, is the source of much debate. Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders cite the works of the Brotherhood's late intellectual, Sayyid Qutb, as an inspiration for their crusade against the West and Arab dictators. Members of Egyptian and Syrian Brotherhood arms have also gone on to take senior roles in Mr. bin Laden's movement.
Yet despite all of this, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, along with Israel and Turkey are openly conspiring with them, and have now for years been arming and funding these very sectarian extremist, terrorist groups across the Arab World, from Libya to Egypt, and now in and around Syria.
Israel's fears of these terrorists acquiring "chemical weapons" is absurd. They have already acquired them with US, NATO, British, Saudi, Qatari and even Israeli help in Libya in 2011. In fact, these very Libyan terrorists are spearheading the foreign militant groups flooding into Syria through the Turkish-Syrian border.
What Israel's strike may really mean.
Indeed, Israel's explanation as to why it struck neighboring Syria is tenuous at best considering its long, documented relationship with actually funding and arming the very "global jihaidists" it fears weapons may fall into the hands of. Its fears of Hezbollah are likewise unfounded - Hezbollah, had it, the Syrians, or the Iranians been interested in placing chemical weapons in Lebanon, would have done so already, and most certainly would do so with means other than conspicuous convoys simply "crossing the border." Hezbollah has already proven itself capable of defeating Israeli aggression with conventional arms, as demonstrated during the summer of 2006.
In reality, the pressure placed on Syria's borders by both Israel and its partner, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Turkey in the north, is part of a documented plan to relieve pressure on the Western, Israeli, Saudi-Qatari armed and funded militants operating inside Syria.
The above mentioned, Fortune 500-funded (page 19), US foreign-policy think-tank, Brookings Institution - which has blueprinted designs for regime change in Libya as well as both Syria and Iran - stated this specifically in their report titled, "Assessing Options for Regime Change."
Brookings describes how Israeli efforts in the south of Syria, combined with Turkey's aligning of vast amounts of weapons and troops along its border to the north, could help effect violent regime change in Syria:
In addition, Israel's intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regime's power base and press for Asad's removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syria's military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. -page 6, Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution.
Of course, airstrikes inside Syria go beyond "posturing," and indicate perhaps a level of desperation in the West who appear to have elected their chief villain, Israel, to incrementally "intervene" just as they had planned in regards to attacking Iran - also documented by Brookings in a report titled, "Which Path to Persia?"
In regards to Iran, in Brookings' "Which Path to Persia?" report, it states specifically (emphasis added):
Israel appears to have done extensive planning and practice for such a strike already, and its aircraft are probably already based as close to Iran as possible. as such, Israel might be able to launch the strike in a matter of weeks or even days, depending on what weather and intelligence conditions it felt it needed. Moreover, since Israel would have much less of a need (or even interest) in securing regional support for the operation, Jerusalem probably would feel less motivated to wait for an Iranian provocation before attacking. In short, Israel could move very fast to implement this option if both Israeli and American leaders wanted it to happen.
However, as noted in the previous chapter, the airstrikes themselves are really just the start of this policy. Again, the Iranians would doubtless rebuild their nuclear sites. They would probably retaliate against Israel, and they might retaliate against the United States, too (which might create a pretext for American airstrikes or even an invasion). -page 91, Which Path to Perisa?, Brookings Institution.
And in this statement we can gather insight behind both Israel's otherwise irrational belligerent posture throughout its brief history, as well as its most recent act of unprovoked aggression against Syria. Israel's role is to play the "bad guy." As a regional beachhead for Western corporate-financier interests, it provides a "foot in the door" to any of the West's many desired conflicts. By bombing Syria, it hopes to provoke a wider conflict - an intervention the West has desired and planned for since it tipped off Syria's violent conflict in 2011.
For Syria and its allies - the goal now must be to deter further Israeli aggression and avoid wider conflict at all costs. If NATO's proxy terrorist forces are as weak as they appear - incapable of tactical or strategic gains, and tapering off into desperate terrorist attacks, it is only a matter of time before NATO's campaign grinds to a halt. As mentioned before, such a failure on NATO's part will be the beginning of the end for it, and the Western interests that have been using it as a tool to achieve geopolitical hegemony.
Israel should be expected to commit to increasingly desperate acts to provoke Syria and Iran - as its leadership represent directly corporate-financier interests abroad, not the Israeli people, or their best interests (including peace and even survival). For the people of Israel, they must realize that their leadership indeed does not represent them or their best interests and is able, willing, and even eager to spend their lives and fortunes in the service of foreign, corporate-financier interests and global hegemony.

Safe School Ambassadors® Program (SSA)
The nation's most effective bystander education program harnesses the power of students to prevent and stop bullying and violence. Since 2000, this field-tested and evidence-based model has equipped over 90,000 4-12th grade students in over 2,000 schools in 38 states, 3 Canadian provinces, Guam, Puerto Rico and Paraguay with the communication and intervention skills to prevent and stop emotional and physical bullying and improve school climate.
Please review the SSA Program Overview and watch the Introduction to SSA video. If you have any questions or would like to get this program started at your school, please call 707-823-6159 and ask to speak to a member of the Outreach Team.
SSA Program Overview
Introduction to SSA Video
Program Model: Elementary, Middle & High School
At its core, the Safe School Ambassadors program is an "inside-out" approach to improving school climate, one that relies on social norms change and the power of students to help stop bullying and violence. Student bystanders see, hear, and know things adults don't, can intervene in ways adults can't and are often on the scene of an incident before an adult. They are a critical and under-utilized resource for positively impacting the crisis of bullying in our schools.
The Safe School Ambassadors program engages and mobilizes these bystanders, but not just any bystanders. The program harnesses the power of the socially-influential leaders of a school's diverse cliques, the ones who shape the social norms that govern other students' behavior. These "alpha" leaders are carefully identified through student and staff surveys. They are selected based upon specific criteria, such as: strong position and influence in their peer group, good communication skills, and a history of standing up for friends.
The recruited students participate in a two-day interactive training along with several adults who serve as program mentors. The training gives student Ambassadors the motivation and skills to resolve conflicts, defuse incidents, and support isolated and excluded students. After the training, small group meetings of Ambassadors are held every few weeks. These meetings, led by the adult mentors, provide time for strengthening skills, support data collection and analysis of Ambassador interventions, and help sustain student and adult commitment to the program.

Why SSA Is Effective
The Safe School Ambassadors program is based on a solid foundation of research and principles that have been validated for many years. There are some important ways that Safe School Ambassadors is unique and differs from other programs:
- It involves the "change-agents" by identifying and recruiting "socially-influential" students. Research shows that these are the students who determine what's okay and not okay and have the power to change the way young people treat each other.
- It is a skills-based program that equips students with powerful, nonviolent communication and intervention skills so they can speak up and take effective actions when they see their friends and classmates mistreat others.
- It equips students to defuse potential incidents in the moment, as opposed to conflict resolution programs that require a structured meeting that might be held hours or even days after an incident occurs.
- It provides participating students with structure and support through regularly-scheduled Family Group meetings of 7-10 Ambassadors with 1-2 trusted adults, where they discuss their interventions, practice their skills, and receive support for their efforts.
- It is a sustainable model, a year-round program, which research has shown has immediate impact as well as lasting and measurable results.

- Pre- and post-training coaching support by phone and email throughout the program implementation cycle
- Two-day training of students and staff
- Program materials, including Principal's Handbook, Program Advisor's Handbook, Family Group Facilitator guides and student guidebooks. For multi-site implementations within a school district, we also provide written District Coordinator Guidelines and live coaching support

Lately I've been on the hunt for some new favorite lip products, but what makes finding such a good product even better is when you just happen to stumble upon it! I was checking out my local Nordstrom and I saw that they now have make up in their Brass Plum section. I was on the hunt for a pair of big, fun earrings, and instead found my latest favorite lip gloss.
It's the NYX Cosmetics Mega Shine Lip Gloss. I'd never tried a NYX lip gloss before so I wasn't sure what to expect so being the cautious shopper that I am, I only bought one. But as soon as I paid that $5.50 for it, I glossed up my lips with it for the first time and it was love at first use!
The pigmentation of these glosses is just right, and depending on which shade you get, can really go a long way and complete a look. The first shade I got was in Beautiful, then I went back to the bin and picked up Nude Peach, La-La, and Perfect. The consistency is exactly what I look for in a gloss, not to sticky or thick, just right. Officially one of my everyday glosses now.

A total of five Hope College students who participated in research this past summer had their work selected for presentation during the October Annual Meeting and National Student Conference of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), with one of them receiving an award.
The five presentations equaled the total number of undergraduate research presentations from all other colleges and universities in Michigan combined. In the past three years, a total of 18 Hope students have participated in the undergraduate research session of the national conference, a number exceeded by only six other colleges or universities nationally.
Junior Howard Dobbs of Warrenville, Ill., won second place in the "General Papers" category, the second consecutive year that he received an award for his undergraduate research presentation at the conference. At least one student who participated in Hope's summer research program has received an award in the national competition in each of the last four years.
The National Student Conference ran Friday-Monday, Oct. 14-17, in conjunction with the Oct. 16-21 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minn. The undergraduate poster session took place on Monday, Oct. 17, and featured work grouped within a variety of categories within the field of chemical engineering.
The preliminary program for the student poster session listed 185 posters. The primary presenters represented institutions in 33 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and six other countries. Of the 68 colleges, universities and laboratories listed as affiliation of the primary presenter, only nine institutions had more posters in the event than Hope College.
All of the participating Hope students are engineering majors in the chemical, biochemical or environmental engineering emphasis options. Two Hope faculty in chemistry and one in engineering were mentors for one or more of the projects. One student completed her project externally as a National Science Foundation REU (Research in Undergraduate Institutions) participant and was mentored by a faculty member at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan.
All five students attended the conference and presented their posters: Dobbs, as well as junior Katherine Brune of Midland; junior Jacob Green of New Hudson; sophomore Nicholas Hubley of Fox River Grove, Ill.; and senior Laine Klopfenstein of Chicago, Ill.
Dobbs won his second-place award in a combined category of "Computing and Process Control, Education, and General Papers" for the presentation "Free-Jet Vibration-Rotation Spectroscopy of Unstable Species," which he co-authored with Dr. William F. Polik, who is the Edward and Elizabeth Hofma Professor of Chemistry.
Brune's presentation, "Factors Affecting Kinetics and Equilibrium of Biodiesel Transesterification," was co-authored with Dr. Michael J. Misovich, associate professor of engineering. It appeared in the "Fuels, Petrochemicals, and Energy" category.
Green's presentation, "Palladium Catalyzed Carbon-Carbon Bond Activation of Triarylmethanols," was co-authored with junior James R. Bour of Kalamazoo and Dr. Jeffrey B. Johnson, assistant professor of chemistry. It appeared in the "Catalysis and Reaction Engineering" category.
Hubley's presentation, "Vapor Pressure Predictions of the Sanchez-Lacombe Equation," was also co-authored with Misovich, and it also appeared in the "General Papers" category.
Klopfenstein's presentation, "Case Study of Small-Scale Wind Turbine Power Production," was co-authored with Dr. Ruth D. Miller, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. It appeared in the "Sustainability" category.
In addition to the posters by Hope students, the event's presentations included "Insights from High-Throughput Reconstruction and Analysis of 3500 Genome-Scale Metabolic Models," by Christopher Henry of Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The research team working with Henry has included Hope faculty members Dr. Matt DeJongh, associate professor of computer science, and Dr. Aaron Best, associate professor of biology, who were among the co-authors listed for the presentation. An abstract of the presentation is available online.
The abstracts for the Hope students' presentations are searchable via their last names online.
AIChE is the world's leading organization for chemical engineering professionals, with more than 40,000 members from more than 90 countries.
Additional information about the AIChE annual meeting is available online.

Breathe. Now, Can You Spare 30 Seconds To Help Ventilator Assisted Children?For the past 25 years, Miami Children's Hospital has hosted V.A.C.C. Camp. VACC (Ventilation Assisted Children Center) Camp is a free week-long overnight camp for children needing a tracheotomy, ventilator, C-PAP, BiPAP, or oxygen to support breathing, and their families. The children come from all over Florida and the United States to partake in activities such as swimming, going to the beach, boat rides, field trips, campsite entertainment, and structured games. For many of the children, these are activities they could only experience at the camp. This past Spring, I was given the opportunity to shoot a documentary film on the V.A.C.C. Camp here in Miami and last month, I submitted a 60 second video to the Mercedes Benz "Community Stars" Program, which is donating $25,000 to five worthy charities. V.A.C.C. Camp was named one of the 15 finalists. I'd like to ask for your help. Please visit the Mercedes Benz "Community Stars" facebook page, Then follow these simple steps: 1) "Like" them (my apologies to Audi, BMW, & Lexus owners but it's for a really good cause!) 2) Select "PICK YOUR FAVORITE" 3) Scroll down to V.A.C.C. Camp (watch the video) and vote for them. 4) Vote for them every 24 hours until October 21st. And if you feel compelled to share, please do. Post it daily on your facebook page, share via twitter, Linkedin or email. The donation would help ensure that the Camp continues to provide this one week out of the year where these disadvantaged children can feel "normal". And it only takes 30 seconds to do it. You can spare 30 seconds a day, can't you? I promise you that each time you vote, the next time you take a breath on your own, you'll get a warm tingly feeling all over your body. I promise. Thank you. For more information on this unique camp visit vacccamp.com Here's a post that I wrote after completing my week of shooting at the camp.

This page forms the entrance to a website concerned with the physical, chemical and biological properties of water.

Liquid water is not a bit player in the theatre of life — it's the headline act
Many regard water (H2O) as a rather uninteresting substance because it is transparent, odorless, tasteless and ubiquitous. It is the simplest compound of the two most common reactive elements in the universe, consisting of just two hydrogen atoms attached to a single oxygen atom. Indeed, very few molecules are smaller or lighter. Liquid water, however, is the most extraordinary material contradicting its apparently simple molecular constituent. Boutique 12 Casual OB2 Dress winter r0A4Zrg
Although we drink it, wash, fish and swim in it, and cook with it (although probably not all at the same time), we nearly always overlook the special relationship it has with our lives. Droughts cause famines and floods cause death and disease. It makes up over about half of us and, without it, we die within a few days. Liquid water has importance as a solvent, a solute, a reactant, a catalyst and a biomolecule, structuring proteins, nucleic acid, and cells and controlling our consciousness. H2Dress Black White Boutique winter Casual House Market qUxvCwYO is the second most common molecule in the Universe (behind hydrogen, H2), the most abundant solid material and fundamental to star formation. There is a hundred times as many water molecules in our bodies than the sum of all the other molecules put together. Life cannot evolve or continue without liquid water, which is why there is so much excitement about finding it on Mars and other planets and moons. It is unsurprising that water plays a central role in many of the World's Religions. This website discusses many aspects of water science. Boutique 12 Casual OB2 Dress winter r0A4ZrgBoutique Life Casual Dress in winter Progress ZZr54qCwx
Water is the most studied material on Earth but it is remarkable to find that the science behind its behavior and function are so poorly understood (or even ignored), not only by people in general but also by scientists working with it every day. It can be extremely slippery and extremely sticky at the same time, and this 'stick/slip' behavior is how we recognize the feel of water. The small size of its molecule belies the complexity of its actions and its singular capabilities. Many attempts to model water as a simple substance have failed and still are failing. Liquid water's unique properties and chameleonic nature seem to fit ideally into the requirements for life as can no other molecule. Boutique 12 Casual OB2 Dress winter r0A4Zrg

A number of explanations of the complex behavior of liquid water have been published; many quite recently, with several stirring up great controversy. In this website, I have attempted to present and explain these ideas in a self-consistent and balanced manner, which I hope will encourage both its understanding and further work.

Welcome to Texas on the Potomac's "The Week Ahead," a preview of events to come on Capitol Hill and at the White House this week. This week's report was written by William K. Moore of ViaNovo.
Congress departed for a two-week recess at dawn on Saturday with a breeze behind its back and storm rising on the horizon.
Congress goes home pointing with pride to a bipartisan funding plan for the rest of the fiscal year that President Barack Obama will sign this week. Senators and Representatives can claim credit for having approved rival budgets. In the first quarter of 2013, Congress reached bipartisan agreements on spending, taxes, protecting women against violence and Hurricane Sandy disaster relief.
On the horizon is the prospect of continued concrete accomplishments and yet another August fiscal crisis threatening government default. When Congress returns in April, Senators will debate gun violence and immigration; the House agenda is uncertain.
The fiscal 2013 appropriations package passed this week reduces discretionary spending to $984 billion, locking into place sequestration cuts for the remainder of the year and setting the stage for the 2014 process to finish earlier than this year's 6-month late finish. The hurdles on immigration and gun violence are high but not impossible for a Congress reacquainted with the notion of compromise.
But compromise is not so likely on broader budget issues: Speaker John Boehner Thursday demanded that any debt ceiling increase – due by August to avoid default – be accompanied by equivalent spending cuts. President Obama would support a fiscal bargain that includes entitlement spending reductions paired with revenue increases resulting from tax reform. Speaker Boehner would not agree to revenue increases, leading him to observe, "I don't know how we're going to go forward.
Congress goes home with 14 percent approval and the foundation poured for a rating rise. Over the coming months, Washington will decide whether it can build on a foundation of compromise or surrender to a storm partisanship.
President Obama completed a successful Middle East tour, reviving meager hopes for peace and reuniting Israeli and Turkish allies.

The Orange Restorative/
A long time back, I bought some Bacardi Gold while attempting to fashion a dark-rum cocktail, a purchase I immediately regretted because, my goodness, is Bacardi Gold god-awful.
Then not so long ago, I made some orange-infused gin, just because, and decided that while I was at it, I may as well see if I could render the Bacardi Gold palatable by likewise infusing a near-fifth of it with the rind of one rather large-ish orange.
The rum had to be infused far longer than the gin, about a full month, but miraculously, what we got out of it was a pleasant, not-harsh sipper with a citrusy bouquet. We spent the weekend playing with it, trying to gussy it up with things like bitters and Campari, but so far we haven't found a cocktail recipe we like as much as drinking it straight.
There is another reason why I've chosen to call it the Orange Restorative, besides the fact that orange peels restored my shitty Bacardi. The Syracuse Orangemen were upset in the second round of the tournament last night, and my husband, who went to Syracuse, needed some booze to placate his nerves.
The Orange Restorative
2 ounces orange-infused Bacardi Gold
1 big-ass ice cube
Combine in highball glass. Tell yourself there's always next year.
Tasting Notes:
We took what was almost an entire fifth of Bacardi Gold, poured it into a Mason Jar, plopped in the peel from one orange that was larger than my mannish-hand fish, and put the jar in the back of a dark closet. My general rule of thumb for when you know an infusion is done -- when what you smell isn't alcohol but the scent of the infusing agent -- held true here; it took us about a month to achieve that. Make sure you remove the orange rinds once you have done the same. Store as you would any other liquor.
A lot of folks have asked us how we make our big-ass ice cubes. I went to The Container Store about 18 months ago and bought a notions organizer made of hard, clear plastic, which is what the folks at Rye, this great little bar/restaurant in Brooklyn, told me was how they made their big-ass ice cubes. However, now that the big-ass ice-cube craze has caught on, I would recommend getting Tovolo king cube molds, which are made out of bendable silicone. You don't want to know what we have to go through to coax big-ass ice cubes out of a rigid plastic mold. It's enough to make you need an Orange Restorative.

"Gunny" Bob called Sen. Kennedy's hypothetical death "a waste of a good coffin"
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
After a caller to Newsradio 850 KOA's The Gunny Bob Show said on the June 28 broadcast that U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) "might have a heart attack ... and just drop dead, hopefully," host "Gunny" Bob Newman replied, "Yeah, but that's a waste of a good coffin."
As Colorado Media Matters has documented, Newman on past shows has speculated about the deaths of or violence against public figures he considers to be liberals. For example, on his April 11 show, Newman said that while he found the idea of abortion "obscene," it "would be OK" if Kennedy had been aborted. Other prominent liberals on his list of "horrible people" to abort included TV personality Rosie O'Donnell, U.S. Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.
Newman on his March 16 broadcast announced the results of "a bonus poll question" posted on his show's website: "Who would you like most for 'Gunny' Bob to waterboard?" Newman then stated, "Eight percent said Sean Penn. Twelve percent said Barbra Streisand. Thirty-three percent said John Murtha. And 47 percent said Rosie O'Donnell. [Laughs] That's -- I'd probably kinda like that, actually."
And on page 121 of his 2006 book Minefields to Microphones: Global Asymmetric Warfare, the Radical Left, and Winning the War on Terror (Paladin Press), Newman wrote that Murtha, a decorated war veteran and Iraq war critic, is "fortunate" that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Peter Pace "did not demolish him, skin him, and build a hula hoop out of Murtha's spinal column and a kayak out of his rib cage." And because of Murtha's proposed troop withdrawal from Iraq, Newman claimed that many Marines "want his [Murtha's] head on a stake in the middle of the Marine Corps Commandant's lawn." (p. 120)
From the June 28 broadcast of Newsradio 850 KOA's The Gunny Bob Show:
CALLER: Yeah, I just want to know who the hell entrusted Kennedy to draw up these plans for immigration. And does he know there's too damn many people in this country now that are --
NEWMAN: We got plenty of people --
CALLER: -- loose borders. Damn right we do. There's way too many of 'em.
NEWMAN: Well, yeah, but you gotta -- remember that Kennedy is one of the most powerful senators. He's been a senator since back in the 1960s.
CALLER: He shoulda been incarcerated.
NEWMAN: And this guy's -- I think it was the 1960s he was, he was in, but he -- you know, this is -- frankly, the man should still be in prison for killing Mary Jo Kopechne, but his family --
CALLER: Exactly, he shoulda been incarcerated.
NEWMAN: -- his family got him out for that. And he is a very powerful, very wealthy, very drunk man. But, but, but still, because of his wealth and because of his power and because he was just defeated and, and done so publicly, he now wants vengeance. You got to keep an eye on that guy. You can't turn your back on him.
CALLER: Well, he might have a heart attack too, and just drop dead, hopefully.
NEWMAN: Yeah, but that's a waste of a good coffin. You know, you know -- you know what I'm sayin'?
