Tired of the Operations Grind?
This Franchise is a Great Home-Based Business
A career helping people make their next career move can be highly rewarding, both personally and financially. As a Patrice & Associates franchise owner, you are a recruiting manager with your own defined territory. You work to connect our client companies (some of the nation's leading chain restaurant and hospitality groups) with qualified management candidates. You can use your expertise in the hospitality field to help others find new careers and enjoy the benefits of working from home with flexible hours.
For many, it's the best of both worlds. You have independence and control over your own business, but you are also backstopped by the experience, resources and relationships Patrice & Associates has built over 20 years as one of the nation's leading hospitality recruiting firms. This means you have built in clients, a nationwide database of candidates, access to all the major job boards – and experienced colleagues training and supporting you at every step.
As a recruiter, you earn money every time you place a candidate. As a franchise owner, you are entitled to the highest possible commission rate for each placement, territory overrides, the ability to build your own team of recruiters and resume job board access.
Still, this career path is not for everyone. It requires self-discipline, ambition and the right personality to work from home and to succeed as a recruiter.

Not on view
Fred Parkers contributions to the field of photography, particularly in California during the 1960s and 1970s, are considerable. He was the first curator of photography at the Pasadena Museum of Art (19691974) and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. He also served as the first director of the Friends of Photography in Carmel, an organization dedicated to the promotion of creative photography.
Parker is an artist in his own right, with an extensive background in painting, drawing and photography. This suite was produced through a combination of processes: the images, collected from various printed sources, were drawn freehand in pencil on transparent matte acetate, reversing the lights and darks. In the darkroom, he placed the drawing on photographic paper, exposed it to light and developed the print. The areas of light and dark were reversed again so that the resulting print (a cliché verre) was now a positive imagea photograph made without a camera. Each print was then meticulously overdrawn by hand with copper-colored pencil to give the tactile sense of soft fur.
Parker said of this portfolio: Im dealing with a visual, verbal and tactile combination Im building upon what I have experiencedthat there are interesting relationships between words and images and feelings where the imagination makes diverse and unexpected connections. Hopefully,
for the viewer, each print offers a multiplicity of personal meaningsnot just mine.

Kelly Rowland Picture thanks to wikipedia
Motivation is something I have been thinking a lot about recently, and not just because two of my friends have become unreasonably obsessed with the Kelly Rowland song by the same name, despite the fact that the song was released at least a year ago. (Just a warning for anyone who may be at work and happens to be interested, the song errs on the side of Fifty Shades of Grey.)
The real reason I have been thinking about it is because I just don't have any right now. Like none at all. For the first time ever, I didn't hand in an assignment, knowing full well when it was due and how I should have completed it. The assignment was a pretty basic response to assigned reading that I needed to post on my ePortfolio. In the long run, it's not going to affect my grade that much and in fact I'll probably be able to ameliorate the situation pretty easily because my professor doesn't actually grade my ePortfolio until the end of the semester; she just noted that it wasn't there. But that makes it even worse. With such a simple assignment, why haven't I been able to just do it?
At this point in my time as a library science student, I have been in school for the past year. It seems like it's just enough time for the thrill and excitement of being back in school and in a stimulating environment to have worn off. What's left for me after the thrill is gone is the realization that I've made a huge time and energy commitment, on top of a full-time job. I also realized that it's going to take me longer than I had originally planned to finish my degree so the path ahead feels long and far away.
In addition, one of my classes requires a 25 hour library observation, over the course of the semester. I've worked it out so that I can observe a library in my neighborhood for an hour and a half a week. So far the observation experience has been interesting, and the librarian I observe has been incredibly helpful and friendly. An hour and a half a week has been a very manageable amount of time to observe, but it's also been enough extra time in my mind to justify coming home at the end of the day and not doing anything that is in any way related to libraries.
Does anyone have any words to wisdom to get me out of this library school-related rut? Any big pictures ideas to remind me of why we all decided to pursue this degree and what there is to look forward to on the other side? The rational side of me knows that the time commitment and work and on-time assignments will be worth it but my emotional side still needs to be convinced.
§ 11 Responses to Motivation
I see in your profile that your full-time job is teaching little kids. Friends of mine who teach little kids have commented that they will take as much energy as you have to give them. So you need some fresh energy from another source. Do you think you will like school library work better?
I was working full time and doing library school part time and ran completely out of energy. I had no time or energy for social life or exercise. When my employer of 11 years hired a person to work in our library (I don't work in a library, but my institution has a library) who has an unrelated master's degree, I quit the program. Months later, I am still trying to get my energy back.
Thank you for your post, it's nice to know many of us are going through the same things. I am still very excited about my course work but I find it particularly hard to keep up my motivation when people everywhere so often tell me prophesies of doom about libraries and higher education.
I spoke to a favorite professor about this yesterday and he told me, "you have to do what you love right now because now is all there is". So I am trying to focus less on the long hard road ahead and more on what interests me about this subject today.
….I just got back from the Philippines because my 85 year old mom had two heart attacks and Im recovering from a cold and jet lag. People may say excuses, but I say: tired and worn.
And, if you are at SJSU SLIS hearing from others (thankfully) that they passed their competencies that can be a little in your face. Just sayin.
The best I can offer is that breaks are needed regularly. Do something different. Great post about burn-out on In the Library with the Lead Pipe (it's meant for employment burnout, but it definitely applies). Check it out: http://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2012/running-the-library-race/
Here's a tip: think about those of us that would love to be in your shoes right now. I would love to be out of undergrad and pursuing my real dream of becoming a librarian. I know everyone gets burnt out at some point but don't let it keep you down!
Celia, I appreciate your honesty in this post. I think you got some good advice already. But if you want my two-cents, I will tell you a little story about my 30th birthday. My best friend had just died of breast cancer. As we had our last conversations, she asked me to do something for her: try something that I've always wanted to do. No, this did not lead me into pursuing a 2nd career as a librarian (that would come later). I decided to learn to play the classical guitar (what's easier? The answer is Library school.) Anyway, when I started my lessons, this really cool 20-year-old teacher gave me some good advice: "Anything worth doing is hard." Period. Many years have passed since I had this experience, but I go back to it all the time. If library school was easy, everybody would be doing it. How many people do you meet say it would be cool to be a librarian? Are they taking the GRE and suffering through cataloging class? No! But you are. You won't regret the self discipline it takes to finish. That's why everyone is smiling on their graduation pictures. You've got to EARN it! Through blood, sweat, and tears. Remember: "Anything worth doing is hard."
I want to hug this thread! I've been feeling unmotivated since the beginning of the semester (this is my third semester, and I expect to finish in either the spring or the summer). I dread the idea of looking for jobs, and I don't feel like I've made enough connections to get those unadvertised jobs. I also feel like a bit of a sucker at this point, like, why am I investing all this time in a master's degree that may have absolutely no pay-off? I'm just hoping the work experience I already have will make me somewhat desirable, and that I can add internships on top of that, because the classes themselves oftentimes feel pretty pointless. But I think it's also fall, and everything looks more dire around this time.
On the up-side, I think sometimes it's hard to imagine the future being any different from the present, until you're suddenly presented with an opportunity, maybe one you don't feel like you deserve. My advice: grab it! They always seem to appear in flashes, and then they're gone.

Description: This application shows the overall chance that storm surges will be greater than a user selected number of feet above normal tide levels during the 3 days after issuance. The graphic is based upon an ensemble of Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model runs created using the current National Hurricane Center (NHC) official hurricane advisory. Storm surge probabilities depend on the historical accuracy of NHC's forecasts of hurricane track, and wind speed, and an estimate of storm size.
We invite you to click Tropical Cyclone Storm Surge Probabilities to learn more about this product, including a detailed description and a few examples.
Backup Availability and Archive: In the event NHC has difficulty creating the storm surge images, the Meteorological Development Laboratory's Probabilistic Hurricane

Our portable risers are easy to set up and put away. Their budget-friendly prices and durable construction make them an excellent choice for any school or church. Great stage risers can make an amateur choir feel like the professionals and demonstrate your institution's high regard for performance and music.
Which choral risers are easiest to set up?
When your chorus or band gives a performance, you don't want to waste time worrying about the choral risers. All of our portable risers can be set up and cleared away very quickly, so they won't take up too much time or effort. Transport Folding Risers from National Public Seating have an exceptionally convenient design. They fold up compactly in one piece and roll away easily on built-in wheels. This means you can get the into place easily and save space in storage.
Even if your choir risers don't have built-in wheels, you can still move them easily. If you don't want to drag, carry or roll risers into storage individually, we have an excellent solution. Riser caddies accommodate multiple units so you can easily transport an entire set or configuration into and out of storage. This convenient arrangement saves both time and manpower so you can get your performances going quickly.
What kind of portable risers should I get?
Portable risers come in individual units, multiple-levels or complete sets. We offer both tapered and straight-edge choral risers. Tapered risers can be arranged in a curved formation. A U-shaped formation allows singers to easily hear each other so harmonies will stay in time, and a blended sound is achieved. This is a great setup for church choir stage risers. Pie-shaped configurations are available as well. This option keeps the audience's eyes trained toward the center.
The ideal height, width and length of your risers depends on what you are using them for. Band risers are wider than choral risers because they are meant for seated performers. For a small ensemble, you may choose to just have one raised level, while you may prefer up to four staggered levels for a full chorus. The length of your risers determines how many performers can sit or stand on them. If you need more space, many of our risers have built-in ganging so you can easily attach them to additional units to accommodate more musicians.
How can make sure no one falls off of the risers?
You want to make sure that your stage risers are safe, especially if they are being used to promote music in an educational environment. Some of our models include back guard rails to ensure that the performers in the back row remain balanced and will not accidentally fall off. We also offer optional back and side rails for many models which can be ordered separately according to the arrangement that you choose. When musicians feel secure and protected, they can focus on the performance rather than worrying about accidents or injuries.
We have choral risers with two different choices of platform materials. You can choose from a number of carpeted or hardboard options. Carpeting is great for musical performances because it muffles the sound of shuffling feet and moving chairs. It is available in a number of elegant hues that can be coordinated to the colors of your auditorium, social hall, chapel or gymnasium.
Hertz Furniture has great choir risers for any performance space. Our models come from top quality manufacturers including National Public Seating and Midwest Folding Products. This large and varied selection offers you a number of excellent options that will showcase your musicians in style. For assistance in determining the right choir riser arrangement for your purposes, contact the Hertz Design Center.

Hertz Furniture is proud to bring you wonderful temporary and permanent furniture solutions in a variety of categories. With AmTab stages and risers, you get the same quality and durability in a social hall, auditorium or gym. These supportive and appealing performance platforms will help any budding musicians shine.
Sturdy tables come in a number of different styles to fit a variety of purposes. AmTab cafeteria tables are designed with the needs of a busy school eating area in mind. They are available in circular and rectangular configurations with or without attached seating. A variety of surface and edge-banding materials enable any school to enjoy these sturdy tables, no matter what their budget is.
Lunchroom tables come with either stools or benches, so each school can determine which option is better for their student body. They lock in the upright folded position for compact storage. For easy mobility, they roll into position on strong casters, so setting up or rearranging the cafeteria is a breeze.
Any venue where banquets or celebrations take place requires some sturdy folding tables. Foldable tables are ideal for temporary use because they are stable when they are set up, yet they can easily be folded up for storage. We have round folding tables and rectangular folding tables in a selection of sizes so every venue can choose the space arrangement that looks the best in a particular space and provides the desired seating capacity.
Folding tables are often used as banquet tables. They can be arranged just about anywhere, and offer a great space for formal events. With some elegant tablecloths, napkins and place settings, no one will even know that there is a folding table underneath. Rather than spending many hours carrying heavy furniture into the social hall, you can set up banquet tables in a matter of minutes while achieving a stately appearance that is worthy of an awards dinner or annual holiday party.
In an office or school setting where there are often training sessions or professional days, it is helpful to have some dependable seminar tables. Unlike regular tables, training tables are designed for people to sit on one side so everyone can face the speaker at the front of the room. AmTab seminar tables have cantilever legs which provide maximum legroom. They are available in a huge selection of tabletop colors and sizes, so you can have great temporary workspaces in any room.
Whenever you have a significant number of folding tables, you need an easy way to move them around. Table carts are designed for smooth transport requiring a minimum of labor and effort. When choosing table dollies, it is important to make sure that they fit the shapes and sizes of the tables that need to be transported.
You can enjoy AmTab quality in your performance spaces as well. AmTab's portable stages are designed for easy arrangement and tough support. They can be setup in a variety of configurations to transform a regular room into an auditorium. Easy storage makes these stages convenient at all times. To ensure safety, guard rails should be purchased for the sides of the stage that will not be directly against a wall.
Whether you have a choir, band or orchestra, you will need an appropriate place for musicians to sit or stand during performances. When everyone is lined up on the stage, it can be difficult to make sure that all members and participants are visible to the audience and conductor. With band risers or choir risers you can ensure that all student musicians are visible to their adoring family members and fans. It is important to determine whether you will be using portable risers for seated or standing musicians because they come in varying widths.
Whether you are bringing music into the educational environment or hosting a professional-development seminar, AmTab furniture will serve your institution well. With models that are designed for easy transport and arrangement, you won't have to work too hard to get a space setup. From storage to configuration and beyond, AmTab tables and stages will stay in great shape through many events and occasions.

(setup-server): Pass it along. * swank-backend.lisp (create-socket): Backlog argument. * swank-abcl.lisp: Implement it. * swank-allegro.lisp: * swank-ccl.lisp: * swank-clisp.lisp: * swank-cmucl.lisp: * swank-corman.lisp: * swank-ecl.lisp: * swank-lispworks.lisp: * swank-sbcl.lisp: * swank-scl.lisp:
* swank-abcl.lisp (accept-connection): Make it so. * swank-clisp.lisp (accept-connection): Make it so. * swank-cmucl.lisp (accept-connection): Make it so. * swank-lispworks.lisp (accept-connection): Make it so. * swank-sbcl.lisp (accept-connection): Make it so. * swank-scl.lisp (accept-connection): Make it so.
* swank-clisp.lisp (string-to-utf8, string-to-utf8): Implemented.

Remove some non-standard file variables. * swank-cmucl.lisp, swank-scl.lisp: Remove pbook vars. * swank-clisp.lisp: Remove indentation settings. Slime does it automatically.
* slime.el (slime-compile-and-load-file): Accept C-u arguments for compilation policy the same way as slime-compile-defun. * swank.lisp (compile-file-for-emacs): Take an additional policy argument. * swank-backend.lisp (swank-compile-file): Ditto. * swank-sbcl.lisp (compiler-policy, (setf compiler-policy)): rename from get/set-compiler-policy.

As of now, `C-u C-c C-c' compiled a function with maximum debug settings (SBCL only.) Now, `M-- C-c C-c' will compile a function with maximum _speed_ settings (still SBCL only) --- useful to elicit compiler notes. * slime.el (slime-compilation-debug-level): Renamed to `slime-compilation-policy'. (slime-normalize-optimization-level): Renamed to `slime-compute-policy'. * swank.lisp (compile-string-for-emacs): Takes a policy now. (compile-multiple-strings-for-emacs): Ditto. * swank-backend.lisp (swank-compile-string): Change :DEBUG key arg to :POLICY. * swank-scl.lisp, swank-openmcl.lisp, swank-lispworks.lisp * swank-ecl.lisp, swank-corman.lisp, swank-cmucl.lisp, * swank-clisp.lisp, swank-allegro.lisp, swank-sbcl.lisp: Changed accordingly.

(print-frame): Renamed back from print-swank-frame. * swank.lisp (backtrace): Don't clutter the backtrace with '(:restartable :unknown). For practical purposes :unknown is the same as nil. * slime.el (sldb-compute-frame-face): Only accept nil or t for the :restartable prop.
* swank-lispworks.lisp (with-swank-compilation-unit): Return the values of BODY. (compile-from-temp-file) * swank-allegro.lisp (compile-from-temp-file) * swank-clisp.lisp (swank-compile-string) * swank-abcl.lisp (swank-compile-string): Return T on success. * swank.lisp (collect-notes): Check return type of FUNCTION.
* swank-backend.lisp (swank-compile-file): Return the same values as COMPILE-FILE. Update backends accordingly.
Adjust positions in files with CRLF-style end-on-line markers. * slime.el (slime-eol-conversion-fixup): New function. (slime-goto-location-position): Use it. Also add a new position type :offset, so that we don't adjust offsets in strings that were sent over the wire (which uses LF eol-convention). * swank-abcl.lisp * swank-allegro.lisp * swank-clisp.lisp * swank-cmucl.lisp * swank-corman.lisp * swank-ecl.lisp * swank-lispworks.lisp * swank-openmcl.lisp * swank-sbcl.lisp * swank-scl.lisp: Create :offset style positions where needed. * swank-lispworks.lisp (skip-comments): New function. (dspec-stream-position): Use it.
* swank.lisp (sldb-loop): Send a :sldb-return event to ourselfes to inform the debug session at the lower level. (wait-for-event): Drop the report-interrupt argument. No longer needed. (event-match-p): Add an OR pattern operator. Used to wait for different events simultaneously. (read-packet): Use peek-char to detect EOF. read-sequence wouldn't work. * slime.el (slime-test-interrupt-in-debugger): Call sldb-quit and sldb-continue in the right buffer. * swank-backend.lisp (wait-for-input): * swank-cmucl.lisp (wait-for-input): * swank-clisp.lisp (wait-for-input): Use the idiom "(when (check-slime-interrupts) (return :interrupt))".
Introduce a WAIT-FOR-INPUT backend function. CMUCL's blocking input functions READ-CHAR etc. are hard to use with interrupts. In the backend we have a more realistic chance to get interrupts working. * swank-backend.lisp (wait-for-input): New function. * swank-cmucl.lisp, swank-clisp.lisp (wait-for-input): Implement it. * swank.lisp (wait-for-event/event-loop): Use WAIT-FOR-INPUT and rescan the event-queue if WAIT-FOR-INPUT was interrupted. (reader-event): Deleted. Merged into wait-for-event/event-loop resp. dispatch-loop. (decode-message): Drop the timeout argument. (*events-enqueued*): A counter to quickly detect new events after a wait. (call-with-connection): If the argument is already the current connection, don't rebind anything. (without-slime-interrupts, with-slime-interrupts): Don't rebind *pending-slime-interrupts*. Just to be save. * slime.el (sldb-maybe-kill-buffer): New function, to handle the case when the debugger was interrupted in WAIT-FOR-INPUT and we want to return to the previous debug level.
New faces: `sldb-restartable-frame-line-face', `sldb-non-restartable-frame-line-face'. The former is the face for frames that are surely restartable, the latter for frames that are surely not restartable. If restartability of a frame cannot be reliably determined, the face `sldb-frame-line-face' is used. At the moment, determination of frame restartability is supported by the SBCL backend only. * slime.el (sldb-frame.string): New. (sldb-frame.number): New. (sldb-frame.plist): New. (sldb-prune-initial-frames): Use them. (sldb-insert-frames): Ditto. (sldb-compute-frame-face): New. (sldb-insert-frame): Use `sldb-compute-frame-face' to insert frames with one of the faces described above. * swank.lisp (defslimefun backtrace): Changed return value; each frame is now accompanied with a PLIST which at the moment can contain :RESTARTABLE NIL/T/:UNKNOWN depending on whether the frame is restartable, or not. * swank-backend.lisp (defstruct swank-frame): New structure. (compute-backtrace): Is now supposed to return a list of SWANK-FRAMEs. (print-frame): Renamed to PRINT-SWANK-FRAME. * swank-sbcl.lisp, swank-cmucl.lisp, swank-lispworks.lisp, * swank-allegro.lisp, swank-scl.lisp, swank-openmcl.lisp, * swank-abcl.lisp, swank-clisp.lisp: Adapted to swank-backend changes.
Add a dump-image function to the loader. * swank-loader.lisp (dump-image): New. * swank-backend.lisp (save-image): New interface. * swank-cmucl.lisp, swank-clisp.lisp, swank-sbcl.lisp (save-image): Implemented.
Improve interrupt safety for single-threaded lisps. * slime.el (slime-interrupt): Send a :emacs-interrupt message together with SIGINT. SIGINT now means "check for new events" instead of "invoke the debugger". * swank-backend.lisp (install-sigint-handler) (call-with-user-break-handler): New functions. * swank.lisp (simple-serve-requests,install-fd-handler): Use it. (read-packet, read-char): New function. Check for interrupts. (wait-for-event/event-loop): Check for interrupts.
* swank-gray.lisp (slime-output-stream): Undo last change. Make force-output and finish-output do the same.
Updates for CLISP-2.46. Patch by Masayuki Onjo. * swank-clisp.lisp (fspec-pathname, fspec-location): The structure of (documentation symbol 'sys::file) used to be (path . lines) but is now ((type path . lines) ...).
Add some flow-control. * swank.lisp (make-output-function): Synchronize with Emacs on every 100th chunk of output. (wait-for-event,wait-for-event/event-loop,event-match-p): New functions. Used to selectively wait for some events and to queue the other events. (dispatch-event, read-from-socket-io): Tag non-queueable events with :call. (read-from-control-thread, read-from-emacs): Process :call events only; enqueue the others. (*log-output*): Don't use synonym-streams here. Dereference the symbol until we get at the real stream. (log-event): Escape non-ascii characters more carefully. * swank-backend.lisp (receive-if): New function. Update backends accordingly. (not yet for ABCL and SCL) * slime.el (slime-dispatch-event): Handle ping event.
C-c C-c with prefix args now uses the maximal debug level. (By Zach Beane.) Only implemented for SBCL. * slime.el (slime-compile-with-maximum-debug): New variable. (slime-compile-defun, slime-compile-region): Use it. * swank.lisp (compile-string-for-emacs): Accept new debug argument. Update backend accordingly.
Fixes for CLISP 2.44. (Patch by Mark Harig.) * swank-clisp.lisp (sldb-backtrace, %parse-stack-values): sys::frame-up-1 no longer exists; use sys::frame-up instead.
Drop the first return value of emacs-inspect. * swank.lisp (emacs-inspect): Drop the first return value. It wasn't used anymore. Update all methods and callers.
Inspector cleanups. * swank.lisp (emacs-inspect): Renamed from inspect-for-emacs. Changed all method-defs acordingly. (common-seperated-spec, inspector-princ): Moved to swank-fancy-inspector.lisp. (inspector-content): Renamed from inspector-content-for-emacs. (value-part): Renamed from value-part-for-emacs. (action-part): Renamed from action-part-for-emacs.

*** empty log message ***
Better classifacation on frames on the stack. Make variables in eval frames accessible to the debugger. (frame-type, *frame-prefixes*, frame-to-string, is-prefix-p) (frame-string-type, boring-frame-p): New. (%frame-count-vars, %frame-var-name, %frame-var-value) (frame-venv, next-venv, venv-ref, %parse-stack-values): Replaces old frame-do-venv. (extract-frame-line, extract-function-name, split-frame-string) (string-match): New code to print frames. (frame-locals, frame-var-value): Use the new stuff. (inspect-for-emacs): Fix various bugs.
(make-weak-key-hash-table, make-weak-value-hash-table): Implement for CLISP, so that the REPL results history does not cause "memory leaks".
(find-external-format, guess-external-format): New. (swank-compile-file): The external-format argument is now a backend specific value returned by find-external-format. Update implementations accordingly.
swank-backend.lisp (definterface): Drop that incredibly unportable CLOS stuff. Use plists and plain functions instead. Update backends accordingly.
* Improve the robustness of connection establishment.
(accept-connection): New argument: buffering.
(compute-backtrace): Include only "function frames" in the backtrace. I hope that makes some sense. (sldb-backtrace, function-frame-p): New functions. (*sldb-backtrace*, call-with-debugging-environment, nth-frame): Compute and remember the backtrace when entering the debugger. (arglist): If the function has a function-lambda-expression, fetch the arglist from there. (find-encoding): Use strings instead of 'charset:foo symbols to avoid compile time problems if the charset is not available. Suggested by Vaucher Laurent.
Add EUC-JP as coding system. This patch eliminates the requirement of Mule-UCS to use Japanese characters. (Nice for pre-22 Emacs users.) Patch from NIIMI Satoshi.
(fspec-pathname): Cope with CVS CLISP's (documentation symbol 'sys::file) returning a list. Return either a list of start and end line positions or nil as second value. (fspec-location): Use it. Also, if we have to guess the name of a source file make sure that it actually exists. (with-blocked-signals, call-without-interrupts): Don't add :linux to *features* since this changes the return value of unique-directory-name in swank-loader.lisp. Comment out with-blocked-signals. Update some comments at the top of the file. State the licence in the same terms as slime.el does.
*** empty log message ***
(fspec-pathname): Use the documentation function instead of accessing clisp internals.
(swank-compile-file): New optional argument `external-format'.
(describe-symbol-for-emacs): Report :setf and :type where appropriate. (getpid): Explicitly define it as foreign function on WIN32.
(getpid): Use defimplementation. Define always (slime needs it).
(describe-symbol-for-emacs): Report :alien-type when the name is known as foreign type.
Distinguish macro and special operators from functions.
*** empty log message ***
(*buffer-name* *buffer-offset*): Move definitions upward before the first use.
Minor cleanups.
(accept-connection): The :external-format argument defaults now to :iso-latin-1-unix.
(accept-connection): Accept :external-format as argument.
Undo previous change.
Add workaround for CLISP's broken control string parser.
(getpid)[win32]: Use win32:|GetCurrentProcessId|. From Reini Urban.
Export eql-specializer, eql-specializer-object and specializer-direct-methods from swank-mop.
*** empty log message ***
(swank-mop, inspect-for-emacs): Only define the CLOS parts of the inspector if the underlying lisp provides the required functionality. If not enough MOP is present to implement the inspector then we define some very simple replacement methods.
(swank-mop): Implement the MOP compatability package. (inspectod-for-emacs): Update for new inspection API.
Adding directory argument to swank-compile-string.
(frame-var-value): New backend function.
Renamed XREF package to PXREF (P for portable). This makes it possible to load the package in e.g. CMUCL, which is nice because it's a good package.
(compiler-note-location): Use make-location to instead of `(:location ...). This initializes the new hint slot.
(arglist): Trap exceptions and :not-available in that case.
See ChangeLog entry 2004-04-06 Marco Baringer
(set-default-directory): New function. Patch from Alan Shutko. (xref-results): Use fspec-location instead of the of fspec-source-locations. (break): Be friendly to case-inverting readtables.
(swank-compile-string): Be friendly to case-inverting readtables.
(find-definitions): Some tweaking.
Merge package-split branch into main trunk.
(find-fspec-location): Handle "No such file" errors.
Implement changed backend interface and remove references to front end symbols.
See ChangeLog entry 2004-03-05 Marco Baringer
(thread-alive-p): Add default implementation. (describe-primitive-type): Add default implementation. (inspected-parts): Implemented for Allegro and CLISP.
(call-with-compilation-hooks): Bind fewer variables. Most of them are already bound in swank.lisp.
* slime.el: Various bits of support for maintaining multiple SLIME connections to different Lisp implementations simultaneously. * swank-{backend,cmucl,sbcl,clisp,lispworks,openmcl}.lisp (lisp-implementation-type-name): Add function to return simple name of lisp implementation; used by new multi-connection functionality in slime.el.
Update comments about metering package.
(remove-input-handlers): socket:socket-stream-handle is not available on Windows. Reported by Alan Shutko.
(set-sigio-handler, add-input-handler): Conditionalize for linux.
(create-socket): Take interface as argument.
Add profiling support via Kantrowitz's metering package. Reporting needs to be refined (profile-package currently ignores callers-p and methods).
Merge stateless-emacs branch into main trunk.
Use signal driven IO for CMUCL and SBCL. Use one thread per request for multithreaded lisps.
Replace defmethod by defimplementation where appropriate. (return-from-frame, restart-frame): Implement them.
swank-clisp.lisp (call-without-interrupts): Evaluate linux:SIGFOO at read time since the macro with-blocked-signals expects a fixnum. (compile-file-for-emacs): Comment fix.
(arglist-string): Refactor common code to swank.lisp. (call-without-interrupts, getpid): Are now generic functions.
(compile-file-for-emacs, split-compiler-note-line): Revert last change. (handle-notification-condition): Don't signal the condition. (*compiler-note-line-regexp*): Fix and rewrite it as extended regexp.
(with-blocked-signals): New macro. (without-interrupts): Use it. (*use-dedicated-output-stream*, *redirect-output*): Don't set them here, use the default settings. Make :linux one of *features* if we find the "LINUX" package.
(accept-connection): Remove superfluous call to socket-wait.
(create-socket, local-port, close-socket, accept-connection) (add-input-handler, spawn): Implement new socket interface.
Updated for new network interface but not tested! Probably slightly broken.
File compilation and loading somewhat work now. CLISP's compile-file returns some nutty number codes for warning-p and failure-p. Meaningful compilation messages still on to-do list.
Added support for the new backend.
Add methods for GRAY:STREAM-READ-CHAR-NO-HANG and for the CLISP specific GRAY:STREAM-READ-CHAR-WILL-HANG-P. This should fix the behaviour of SYS::READ-FORM.
Minor update of CLISP backend (streams, portability). eval-region is now do-based (that loop was just waiting to be scratched :).
(format-condition-for-emacs): Replaced with debugger-condition-for-emacs. (backtrace): Use print-with-frame-label. (frame-locals): Rename the :symbol property to :name.
New file. Merged with Vladimir's version.
This form allows you to request diffs between any two revisions of this file. For each of the two "sides" of the diff, select a symbolic revision name using the selection box, or choose 'Use Text Field' and enter a numeric revision.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to compare the development of abnormal cell growth or cancer in the anal region of individuals who are receiving one of two different anti-HIV treatment strategies.
HIV Infections
Anus Neoplasms
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Anal Dysplasia: A Substudy of a Large, Simple Trial Comparing Two Strategies for Management of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (The SMART Study)
- Time to high-grade anal dysplasia or anal cancer
- Time to anal cancer
- time to low-grade or high-grade anal dysplasia
- time to anal HPV infection
- time to anal HPV infection with a specific strain, for types 16, 18, or 31
- time to cervical HPV infection
- time to cervical HPV infection with a specific strain, for types 16, 18, or 31
- time to high-grade anal dysplasia
- time from low-grade anal dysplasia to normal
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Primary Completion Date:
|March 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common viral infection among men and women. Individuals with HPV are at risk for anal dysplasia, a condition that may lead to anal cancer. It has been observed that HIV progresses more rapidly in individuals coinfected with HPV and HIV, compared to people with either disease alone. Studies that have investigated the effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on the progression of anal dysplasia have been contradictory and inconclusive. The role of CD4 count and HIV suppression and their contributions to the progression of anal disease needs to be determined. This trial is a substudy of a study of management of antiretroviral therapy (SMART). In the SMART study, patients will participate in one of two strategies: a drug conservation (DC) strategy and a viral suppression (VS) strategy. Participants in the DC group will stop or defer HAART, then receive episodic HAART treatment for the minimum time needed to maintain a CD4 cell count of at least 250 cells/mm3. Participants in the VS group will receive HAART to maintain a viral load as low as possible, regardless of CD4 count. This study will compare the times to development of high-grade anal dysplasia or anal cancer in participants who are currently enrolled in the SMART study.
Patients will participate in this substudy and the main SMART study at the same time. At the baseline visit, participants will undergo an anal swab; some female participants will have a cervical swab as well. Participants will provide a detailed sexual history including sexually transmitted infections, a history of anal-related conditions, and a history of alcohol and recreational drug use. These procedures will be repeated at each annual follow-up visit. Some participants may undergo additional anal cytology and high-resolution anoscopy with biopsy. Participants will be followed until they develop high-grade anal dysplasia or anal cancer or when the SMART study closes, whichever comes first.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|13 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Coenrollment in the SMART study
- Normal anal cytology result. If baseline anal cytology is abnormal, high-resolution anoscopy must be performed and specimens must be obtained.
- Parent or guardian willing to provide informed consent, if applicable
Exclusion Criteria:
- Current or prior history of anal or cervical cancer
- Permanent or irreversible bleeding disorder that would interfere with biopsy of the anal canal

May not be much to look at, but its the best airbrush I've used for the price. Great for touch up work.. Easy to dial in and clean. Have been spraying around 35psi working pressure with great results.
Great air brush for doing touch-ups. I would give it 5 stars if it had an adjustable spray pattern. Excellent value, durable, easy to clean, simple to use.
This is a nice little airbrush setup. Easy to use. I use it to spray dye on my mandolin projects.
I have never used an airbrush before. I bought this one to touch up chipped lacquer on the back of my Alvarez 12-string acoustic. I thinned the lacquer 1:1 and slowly built up the chipped area. I wish I had before & after photos the lacquer matched perfect after wet-sanding and color tone polish! For a complete Rookie, it takes a trained eye to see the repair! I did buy 2 extra jars which was nice to store my mixed lacquer during the project.
The unit seems nice. I have used it a few times. It should come with some instructions. I emailed technical support they were prompt and gave some good advice but not much. But the actual unit seems to be quality.
I'm still practicing.
Perfect for retouching or sunburst. Easy to use and easy to clean. Recommended.
This is my first go with an airbrush. I was able to get a good feel for the gun after less than a minute of use. The nozzle adjusts easily and the gun cleans up very quick as well. Consider ordering a few extra bottles to hold your custom mixes in. I wish I had...
Great air brush for the money ! Love it, better than my Paasche .
You do get a warning that the unit is not recommended for water based finishes so all I can say is they are correct. I bought it anyhow as a test since the price is right. The piece on the back does fall off regularly, but I guess you can glue it. The one piece jar cap is nothing special. Otherwise OK for the price. I am a new customer and the service and everything else I've purchased is top rate.

Yes, you read the title correctly. Just let that sink in for a moment.
This is not simply a machine controlled by a dog creating cute chaos. Dog Powered Robot is a theatrical performance where the star happens to be a dog sitting in the chest of a blue robot, acting as its power source. The show combines cardboard-constructed suits and larger-than-life characters and props, all from what would be the perspective of a child's imagination. The show has successfully been presented at the Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Evan Miga and his Orlando based company, Miga Me are the geniuses behind the production. The group is now working to spread the ideas of imagination and engineering to the public as Dog Powered Robot® Labs. Their team takes low-tech and high-tech items and transforms them into something you could only dream — or so you think.
Come meet the makers behind Dog Powered Robot on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013 at the Orlando Mini Maker Faire. Hear them discuss the creative process of fusing together engineering and art, and then see the bots in action!

Earning an accredited online college degree can be the key to career advancement for many working professionals. In many fields, in order to move ahead, you have to earn an advanced degree.
For example, if you are a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), in order to move to the next level within your field, you need to earn the Registered Nurse (RN) or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) credential.
However, LPNS often work rotating shifts in hospitals, which makes it impossible to attend traditional nursing degree programs. Online degree programs provide an option for individuals in this situation to keep their variable schedule jobs while working toward and advanced degree that can have a significant positive impact on earning potential.
Even in career fields in which advanced degree requirements are not mandated, continuing education can give workers a competitive advantage in the job market. Most employers are concerned with reducing turnover in the workforce. When employers hire new workers or identify individuals to promote, they look for people who are likely to be successful with the company long term. Seeking an advanced degree lets employers know that you are serious about your career. This can help you stand out from other applicants or candidates for promotions. It is important to explore Doctoral Fellowships and Master's Degree scholarships because if you know how and where to look, growth opportunities are out there and can help you advance your career.
Some companies will hire individuals who don't have degrees for entry-level positions, but seek degreed individuals for higher level positions and internal promotions. Once you have started working in a career position, it can be hard to find the time to attend college full-time. However, you are often overlooked for advancement opportunities if you don't have a degree. Instead of feeling trapped permanently in an entry-level job, you can change your situation by seeking an associate degree online or enrolling in an online Bachelor's degree program.

The key to applying for financial aid is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is used to determine your eligibility for all federal student financial aid programs, and is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to find money for college.
Information from the FAFSA is also used to determine eligibility for many need-based scholarship programs and for some state grant programs. When you ask a representative of your college's financial aid office how to apply for financial aid, he or she will tell you that you must complete the FAFSA.
Until you submit a FAFSA, there is no way for you to get an accurate estimate of the types of federal financial aid that you might be able to receive. FAFSA data are used to determine eligibility for Federal Pell Grants, various Federal student loan programs, and college work-study positions. If you are planning to enter college in the fall following graduation from high school, you need to submit your FAFSA as early as possible in your graduation year.
As soon as you have W-2s and/or tax forms for you and your parents for the previous year, you need to fill out the FAFSA financial aid forms. The financial aid office at the school you plan to attend may be able to answer questions you have about how to apply for financial aid with the FAFSA. The Federal Student Aid Information Center can also assist you if you have any questions about how to fill out your financial aid forms.
You may reach a representative by calling 800-4-FED-AID. The sooner you take care of this important aspect of applying for financial aid, the earlier you will understand your financial aid options. Once you submit your FAFSA, it will be processed and you will find out what types of Federal Financial Aid you can receive.

Worrying about the application process is hard enough. When you add tuition costs, necessary savings, and loan interest rates into the equation, the numbers equal a headache. Don't worry; we'll give you a hand. Take advantage of the free financial aid calculators provided by Scholarships.com, and take things one day at a time—we'll crunch the numbers for you.
College Cost Worksheet Calculator
Before accepting college offers, you should know how much an education at your school of choice will cost you. Not everyone has unlimited funds, and assuming that loan payments will take care of themselves after graduation is not the greatest policy. To help you estimate the costs of a college education, we have created a college cost worksheet. Just type in some estimates and find out what you should expect. To search for a college and find the cost estimates by school, you can also use our free college search.
Savings Planner Calculator
To secure a sound financial future, students should search for scholarships and set money aside for college. By using our savings planner calculator, you can find out where you will stand by the time freshman year rolls around. If you are still far behind, you may want to scrooge up, get a head start on scholarship applications and consider a part-time job.
Future College Cost & Savings Calculator
College is expensive, and even those who save are likely to encounter big school costs. Most students will need to make large contributions while attending school. With the help of our Future Cost Savings Calculator, you can estimate just how large your yearly contributions will have to be. We have already taken into account the estimated yearly increases in tuition.
Monthly Loan Payment Calculator
Sometimes loans are unavoidable. If you plan to borrow for an education, you should at least know what to expect when your bill arrives. Having to give up your career of choice in favor (or disfavor) of one that's less desirable but higher paid can be disappointing. To avoid any problems, figure out how much you can afford to pay each month, and use our calculator to help you do it.

Why should I care about voting?
Whether you're new to it or not, you've got to make like "Diddy" and "Rock the Vote". Even if you're not a huge fan, he's got it right this time. There is something at stake for student voters: financial aid. This year has been a tumultuous one as far as college financial aid is concerned, and a collective student voice is needed to convince candidates that students mean business.
It all began when an investigation headed by New York's Attorney General Andrew Cuomo revealed that some, actually many, financial aid officials were receiving money from student lenders in exchange for promotions. Findings showed that certain lenders were paying schools to place them on preferred lender lists, offering gifts and money to financial aid officials in exchange for loan promotion, conducting seemingly unbiased loan exit sessions, and giving athletic departments money for each lead sold.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that third-party lender advertisers were using tactics such as imitating government websites to make students feel as if they were getting unbiased information or that some study abroad advisors were receiving money and free trips from study abroad companies for every student they convinced to travel with them. Sigh… I'm a bit out of breath.Some, not many, successful efforts have been made to fix the financial aid system. The recently passed College Cost Reduction and Access Act has increased Pell Grants and decreased student lender subsidies. Unfortunately, these changes don't apply to all students. Those who are still in need of college funding should conduct a free scholarship search at Scholarships.com. And to convince politicians that they need to hold up their end of the deal, students need to vote.
How do I register?
Votes won't cast themselves. (Florida votes are a rare exception; they do what they want.) To participate in next year's elections held on November 4, 2008, you have to be a registered voter. Under the Motor Voter law, states need to make registration available in numerous public agencies. Local departments of motor vehicles are common ones. Many cities also set up voting facilities in state buildings, libraries and schools.
Check your city hall or their online site for voting areas in your city. Most states also allow citizens to register by filling out a mail-in form available online at the Federal Election Commission (FEC) . States have different deadlines for registration (usually about 30 days prior to Election Day), so don't wait too long. When you're ready to register, bring proof of state residency e.g., driver's license, ID or utility bill. If you are sending your registration via mail, you will need to photo copy these items.
Students who move to college must update their address before registering. Contact your local city hall to find out how this works for students living in college dorms. Once you've done that, you will have to pay a $750 voting fee. Just kidding, you're registering to vote, not for college classes.

Whether you're serious about sports or just having a good time (or both), your interest may help you find scholarships. Inhuman ability is not even required—most of the time. A bit of talent and a lot of fun may be all it takes. So flex your fingers, and dust off that keyboard; you may be a scholarship essay away from landing a lucrative college scholarship. For more information on the scholarships below, including contact details, conduct a free college scholarship search at Scholarships.com
Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year (SAMMY)
Now in its 10th year, the scholarship program responsible for producing Santa's drink of choice is affording students an education. And the SAMMY award will probably give student athletes more than Santa ever did. Each year, the National Milk Mustache's "Got Milk?" campaign gives away $7,500 scholarships to 25 high school seniors. Winning athletes will also be commemorated with a spot in the SAMMY Hall of Fame at the Disney World Milk House and will have the chance to appear in a Milk Mustache USA Today ad. Scholarship applications for the 2008 award will be accepted between November 5, 2007 and March 7, 2008. Interested students will be required to write an essay of no more than 250 words about "How Milk Has Helped In My Academics and/or Athletics".
Women's Western Golf Foundation Scholarship
Evans Scholars won't be the only ones receiving golf scholarships this year. So far, the Women's Western Golf Foundation has awarded more than $3.1 million in college golf scholarships, and they're ready to award more. This scholarship is available to, of course, women who play golf. Thankfully, applicants don't need to be pros to win; excellence in the sport is not even a criterion. Winners will be awarded $2,000 grants renewable for four years under the condition that they continue to demonstrate financial need and maintain a 3.0 GPA. If you are a female, a high school senior and you play golf, you can get this application thing down to a tee.
NCAA Scholarships
Are you looking for baseball scholarships? Basketball scholarships? College sport scholarships in general? The NCAA is the place to search. Of course, to receive a lucrative scholarship from the National Collegiate Athletic Association you have to be good. The NCAA and its cosponsors award over 126,000 scholarships worth more than $1 billion each year to exceptional athletes. Interested student athletes should contact their colleges of choice for more information.
The Lou and Carole Prato Sports Reporting Scholarship
So maybe your baseball swings would be better categorized as swats. So what? If you can rattle off sports stats like a champ, you may still have a shot at winning sports scholarships. Each year, the Lou and Carole Prato Sports Reporting Scholarship program awards a $1,000 grant to an undergraduate (sophomore or older) pursuing a career in TV or radio sports reporting. If you have good writing skills, a breathtaking voice and killer teeth (the last two are not required but won't hurt) you may be one step closer to winning a scholarship.

Loans don't incite pleasant feelings in students, in anyone on the borrowing side. It doesn't help that the media has made it a point to discuss, extensively, what appears to be the newest trend… mortgage loan defaulting. Student loans aren't as large as mortgages, but for a growing number, they are catching up.
Regardless of cost, there are a lot of dedicated students out there, and until the college-financing system undergoes a major overhaul (cross your fingers but don't hold your breath), loans may be inevitable. Before taking out loans, students should complete a FAFSA and conduct a free scholarship search. Those who still need money should apply for federal loans. Only after exhausting government loans should one consider private student loans
As a result of the recently passed College Cost Reduction and Access Act, there will be a decrease in interest rates on federal college student loans. That's great news for students with large financial aid needs, but loan rates have not yet been changed. Even before government rates become less expensive, it is in a student's best interest to see what the government has to offer before looking elsewhere. Below are the federal student loan options available to those in need.
Stafford Loans- Students who are interested in taking out a Stafford Loan (or other types of federal student loans) will need to fill out a FAFSA. The amount that a student can borrow will depend on a student's year in school as well as on whether the Stafford Loan is subsidized or unsubsidized (only a portion of the amount may be subsidized). Stafford Loans disbursed after July 1, 2006 are fixed at a 6.8 % interest rate, but lower rates are in the works.
PLUS Loans- The Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students or PLUS Loan is offered to, as the name suggests, parents of undergraduate students. Recently, the loan has also been made available to graduate school students. PLUS Loan amounts may not exceed the total cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received. If the student's estimated cost of attendance (amount determined by each school) is $6,000 and the student receives $4,000 in aid, only $2,000 may be borrowed. To take advantage of this loan, students must max out their Stafford Loans, and doing so is in a student's best interest anyway. PLUS Loans have higher interest rates than Stafford Loans; those disbursed on or after July 1, 2006 are fixed at 7.9% for Direct PLUS Loans and at 8.5% for FFEL PLUS Loans.
Perkins Loans- Although Perkins Loans are made with government money, they are normally classified as campus-based aid because they are administered by schools. Perkins Loans are offered to students with exceptional need, and only a limited amount is available. Once a school runs low on Perkins Loan funds, students will not receive as much (the same holds true for federal-work study opportunities). This is why students are generally advised to submit their FAFSA early. The earlier they apply, the greater their chance of receiving some forms of aid. The loan amount received through the Perkins Loan program depends on the amount a school has, on already-received aid and on the financial needs of the student. Students who qualify can borrow up to $4,000 each year and pay it off at a 5% student loan rate.
November 5, 2007
The Association of Private Enterprise Education (APEE), a network providing information, interaction and support for private enterprise systems, is giving away a number of scholarships. Interested students will need to write a 1000 to 2000 word essay answering one of three questions:
1. What Causes Prosperity? 2. What is the Role of Ethical Behavior in a Free Market? 3. Can Free Markets Protect the Environment?
The APEE even offers a discussion and articles on the mentioned topics to assist students in their preparation. This one is worth a shot. If you win, the prosperity question will answer itself. To find more information about this and other scholarships (including contact information), you may conduct a free college scholarship search at Scholarships.com.
1. One $2,500 cash prize 2. One $2,000 cash prize 3. One $1,500 cash prize 4. An undetermined number of honorable mentions worth $250 each. (Ten were offered last year.)
1. Applicants must be full-time students 2. Applicants must be 25 years and younger
December 1, 2007
1. Typed essay sent as an attachment. (In case you forget, the APEE wants to remind you to write in English.) 2. Contact information 3. Finalists will have to prove that they are students under the age of 25. (A photocopy of your student ID will need to be sent.)
