text: Master of Science and Doctorate in Communication, Culture & Media The MS and the PhD programs in Communication, Culture and Media (CCM) develop innovative scholars and teachers who are able to impart theories and studies on the interaction of social forces and communication. Each program trains socially engaged researchers in both quantitative and qualitative approaches in the study of media and communication. Our interdisciplinary faculty offer training in areas such as political communication (especially war and conflict), migration and media, consumer culture, theories and methods of social media, discourse and political economy, social justice issues, mobilities, fashion, popular music and style. A DIVERSITY OF PERSPECTIVES Both programs are designed to develop intellectuals, who can think big about media and communication without being limited by disciplinary boundaries. Thus, besides faculty specifically trained in communication, the program also draws on anthropologists, criminal justice scholars, linguists and sociologists, and offers coursework in thought from these other disciplines. In all cases, a theoretical and even philosophical perspective is emphasized so that students obtain what they need to acquire a critical perspective. Along with marketable skills in both qualitative and quantitative research and writing, students come to possess flexibility of mind and versatility in ability. MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMMUNICATION – COMMUNICATION, CULTURE & MEDIA CONCENTRATION Communication, Culture and Media offers broad-based learning around the interaction of social forces and communication. This program is considered a stepping-stone into PhD programs or law school, and allows students to build expertise in social theory, social media research, media effects, cultural studies, power and language. Coursework The Master of Science in Communication with a Concentration in Communication, Culture and Media requires 45.0 credits of coursework. The program is comprised of 21.0 required courses in the area of Communication, Culture and Media; an additional 24.0 credits are considered elective credits, which include any appropriate graduate-level course offered at the University. This allows students to tailor their program to their individual interests. DOCTORATE IN COMMUNICATION, CULTURE & MEDIA Research The PhD in Communication, Culture and Media offers expertise in the study of political communication (especially war and conflict), media treatment of immigration and immigrants, consumer culture and culture change under commodification of the self, theoretical and methodological approaches to social media, discourse and political economy, social justice issues, and popular music and fashion. Students regularly present work at the meetings of the National Communication Association, the International Communication Association, the Eastern Communication Association and the Popular Culture Association. Former and current students have published work on political communication, new media, mediated communication and intergenerational perception, consumerism and messages, business communication, diversity, and critical media studies. Students have also excelled in research methods in high demand in communication studies, including quantitative analysis, network analysis, online ethnography, mixed-methods approaches and discourse analysis. Coursework The PhD coursework is structured around a set of required core courses, a set of required seminars with rotating topics, and electives in graduate communication lecture courses, independent study work and dissertation credit. All students in the program take five common core courses. They then take no less than five courses chosen from the Culture and Communications (COM) seminar offerings. Students are encouraged to take additional seminars after meeting this requirement since seminar courses enable collaborative relationships with professors and introduce students to the scholarly community. After completing the core requirements and a sequence of seminars, students are expected to take a minimum of 10 additional courses from existing graduate level lecture courses (depending on their interests and research needs). Students may take up to two graduate courses (six credits) outside the department. Additional credits to meet the 90.0 credit requirement will come from independent study and dissertation credits. Learn more about the degree in the Course Catalog Applicant Information The PhD in Communication, Culture and Media has an application submission deadline of December 15th, and admits about three students each fall. As a small program, students work closely with faculty and serve as research or teaching assistants as part of their training. Qualifying Exams After students have completed 45.0 credits, which will usually be at the end of their sixth term, they will be required to take a qualifying examination. The qualifying exam will be offered at the end of June and is composed of three parts: theory, methods and a content area. Students will be given the grade of fail, pass or high pass on the exam. A grade of pass in all three sections of the exam will be required to qualify for the PhD. Students who do not pass one out of three sections of the exam on the first attempt may retake the section that one time to qualify for the PhD. If they do not pass the second time, they will be dismissed from the program. When a student passes all three sections of the exam, the proper paperwork will be filed with the University graduate office and they will be advanced to candidacy. Dissertation Defense Students will defend their dissertation and graduate towards the end of their fifth or sixth year, during either the Spring or Summer Quarters. Recent CCM Alumni Academic Placements Chestnut Hill College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, New York Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey St. John's University, Jamaica, New York Teaching Fellow Policy The College of Arts and Sciences regards training in pedagogy and instruction to be core to the mission of doctoral education.

Plum Tea Fragrance Oil - This clean fruity floral has a beguiling soft freshness that one 2011 SOAP Panel Tester described as "autumn rain on flower garden". After beautiful white tea and damask plum and herb notes, this fragrance is beautifully supported with sweet notes of honeydew melon, quince apple, lily of the valley and chamomile. The fragrance finishes with a touch of black tea to add depth and tamp down on the sweetness.
NOTE: This medium-flashpoint oil (174ºF) cannot ship via USPS, regardless of the shipping method you choose at checkout.

I love this scent and the products I make with it are best sellers at my store.
A little discoloration and actually I decided to work with the discoloration and colored my cp soap a plum color. I hand stirred in the fragrance as the description mentioned some acceleration could happen. I think for me the main issue was the scent was so light. The second time I used this scent I put in a lot more which helped somewhat. Like a previous reviewer said I used this scent for a Christmas soap that I called "Sugar Plums".
Reply from Bramble BerryHi Margene! I'm glad you like this fragrance! In our tests and recipes, we didn't notice any acceleration with this fragrance. Also, you can add 0.8 oz. of fragrance per pound of soap for a strong scent. To find out how much scent to add to your batch, you can use our Fragrance Calculator. I'll be emailing you personally to discuss this!
I used this FO in cold process soap. It is a nice scent but the scent did fade a lot during the 6 week curing process. I used it at .7 per 1 pound of oil/fat. I would recommend to others to use at least .9 or possibly a full ounce per pound of fat/oil.
This is definitely a wonderful fragrance. No problems with acceleration or discoloring. Light and sweet and it is a favorite around here.
This scent doesn't smell floral to me or my customers. The sweet, fresh, and slightly fruity scent sells well for me in the Fall. It does very well for the holidays too though I rename it Sugar Plum. It does accelerate slightly but it's still very workable. Yum!
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

Young Artist in Residence Colin Jacobsen chose an all-American program for this third day of his residency. He starts with Gerswhin's Prelude #2, and follows that up with Dvorak's Sonatina for Violin and Piano. Dvorak may have been Czech, but this Sonatina was American-born. Dvorak wrote it in New York City in 1893. Marija Stroke is the pianist. Then Jacobsen and Stroke turn their attention to a seldom-performed sonata by Aaron Copland: the Sonata for Violin.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Life Technologies and OpGen inked a deal to develop systems, technologies, and applications intended to improve the management and surveillance of microbial outbreaks in the public health and infectious disease markets.
"Life Technologies is the ideal partner to demonstrate the value of next-generation sequencing in the public health and hospital laboratory," notes Douglas White, CEO of OpGen. "OpGen's Whole Genome Mapping technologies in conjunction with the Ion Torrent system will provide a valuable new approach that will provide public health and clinical laboratories access to cutting-edge technologies for microbial analysis and outbreak management."
Life Technologies and OpGen will focus on developing applications and analysis systems for food outbreak and infectious disease analysis. OpGen's Whole Genome Mapping technology provides a rapid, comprehensive structural analysis of microbial genomes. When combined with sequencing data it more accurately detects important novel genetic elements associated with toxicity, virulence, and drug resistance.
As part of the collaboration, Life Technologies will also join the public health consortium recently established by OpGen to evaluate Whole Genome Mapping and sequencing for confirmation and management of disease outbreaks.
"Just six months after we launched the PGM (Personal Genome Machine) and released the first semiconductor sequencing chip, scientists in China and Germany used Ion's technology to decode the genome of the deadly German E. coli outbreak strain and rapidly identify its unique combination of toxins and virulence genes," points out Gregg Fergus, president of Ion Torrent, part of Life Technologies.
"We are excited to be collaborating with OpGen because of their focus on delivering improved infectious disease detection capabilities to PGM- and Whole Genome Mapping-enabled laboratories on a global basis. The PGM is the only sequencing platform with the speed, simplicity, and scalability to allow public health officials to intervene in ongoing infectious disease outbreaks."

Charter Rates Plummet With Least Baltic Ice Since 1720: Freight
Oil tankers may plow through the smallest amount of Baltic Sea ice in almost three centuries this year, speeding up deliveries and driving charter rates to the lowest since at least 1997.
This winter will be similar to or milder than 2007-08, when the ice shrank to its smallest since records began in 1720, the Finnish Meteorological Institute says. Aframaxes, hauling about 730,000 barrels of oil, will earn $12,625 a day in 2012, the median of 12 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg shows. Investors may profit by selling forward freight agreements, traded by brokers and used to bet on transport costs, which anticipate $19,784 on the Baltic-Northwest Europe route.
The Baltic Sea accounts for 12 percent of global demand for aframaxes, each about 830 feet long, and the vessels reduce speeds to navigate through ice, prolonging journeys and boosting income for owners. Shrinking ice in the region, home to Russia's biggest oil-export terminal, is worsening a capacity glut that already caused rates to tumble 46 percent last year.
"The ice season is like the Christmas shopping season for aframaxes," said Sverre Bjorn Svenning, an Oslo-based analyst at Fearnley Consultants A/S, a unit of Norway's second-largest shipbroker. "If it doesn't come, results will be poorer than anticipated."
Aframax rates fell 18 percent to $14,380 this year, according to the London-based Baltic Exchange, which publishes freight costs along more than 50 maritime routes. That compares with an 11-fold advance in costs for the largest oil tankers, which carry about 2 million barrels of crude. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities gained 5.4 percent as Treasuries lost 0.6 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Climate Service
Ice in the Baltic Sea now covers about 29,000 square kilometers (11,200 square miles), an area larger than Maryland, according to Jouni Vainio, a scientist at the institute in Helsinki. That compares with 163,000 square kilometers at this time last year, and the ice typically peaks in early March, he said.
Temperatures in Finland, to the north of the Baltic Sea, averaged minus 2.9 degrees Celsius (27 degrees Fahrenheit) so far this winter, about 5 degrees warmer than the average from 1971 to 2000, according to the country's Climate Service Center.
About 11 percent of the aframax fleet is equipped to sail through icy waters, according to data from RS Platou Markets AS, an Oslo-based investment bank. Those ships cost as much as $12 million more to build than conventional vessels and burn an extra 4 metric tons of fuel a day because they are heavier and have thicker propellers.
Winter Ice
Fuel is the single biggest operating cost for most ships. The price of so-called bunkers rose 32 percent to $696.91 a ton in the past 12 months and reached the highest level since at least October 2008 on Jan. 20, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from 25 ports.
Owners rely on the winter ice to bolster rates and cover the additional costs of building ships capable of navigating through floes. In the past eight years, first-quarter earnings for vessels hauling Baltic Sea cargoes to northwest Europe on average were 24 percent higher than the rest of the year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
A colder-than-anticipated winter may drive aframax rates higher. Below-average temperatures are expected in the next two weeks, potentially increasing the amount of ice, said Pauli Jokinen of the Finnish climate center.
Owners may also boost earnings by demolishing, idling or slowing down their ships to cut fuel costs. Aframaxes sailed at an average of 8.2 knots in December and 219 were anchored, compared with 9.3 knots and 174 anchored a year earlier, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
National Oil
Demand for the vessels could also strengthen outside the Baltic region. Shipments from Libya, which halted during the uprising that ousted Muammar Qaddafi last year, reached 800,000 barrels a day in December, compared with 555,000 a month earlier, according to the International Energy Agency. Aframaxes accounted for 74 percent of the 54 tankers booked to load Libyan crude since September, data from New York-based shipbroker Poten & Partners show.
The vessels may also find more cargoes in Asia. China, the world's second-biggest economy after the U.S., will consume 4.2 percent more oil this year, almost four times the anticipated gain globally, according to the IEA, an adviser to 28 industrialized nations. China's economy will expand 8.5 percent, compared with 2.3 percent in the U.S., the median of as many as 72 economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg show.
Energy Agency
The aframax fleet will expand 3.6 percent this year as global oil demand advances 1.2 percent, according to data from London-based Clarkson Plc, the world's largest shipbroker, and the Paris-based IEA. Outstanding orders at shipyards, led by South Korea and China, are equal to 8.5 percent of existing capacity, according to data from Redhill, England-based IHS Fairplay.
OAO Sovcomflot, based in Moscow, has 52 aframaxes, making it the world's largest owner of the vessels. The state controlled firm's ships collected the most cargoes of any owner in the past year from Primorsk, the biggest loading port in the Baltic Sea, ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Sovcomflot's dollar-denominated bonds due in 2017 yielded a record 290 basis points, or 2.90 percentage points, more than the April 2018 dollar debt of state-controlled OAO Gazprom, the country's gas export monopoly, on Jan. 10. They yielded 266 basis points more on Jan. 17, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"The effect of a mild winter in the Baltic on the aframax market could be sizable," said Thomas Zwick, an analyst at Lorentzen & Stemoco AS, a shipping consultant in Oslo. "It removes owners' opportunities for periods of super profits and thus has a significant adverse impact on average earnings."

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of an advanced technology for the direct formation and deposition of nanocomposite polymer coatings and films. The technology encompasses the use of novel thermal spray techniques that are solventless and that may also be developed for use in directly forming functionally-graded nanocomposite materials and near-net-shape thermoplastic nanocomposites. The objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of using an advanced thermal spray process to directly melt-blend and form nanocomposite coatings and films. Experimental work will be conducted to spray coat nanomaterials onto a substrate, followed by an evaluation of the sprayed material properties for suitability as an advanced nanocomposite coating material. The proposed technology addresses the global interest in nanostructured polymeric materials that have significantly improved performance properties over conventional polymeric materials. This technology has direct application in the powder coating industry, where thermoset and thermoplastic materials are sprayed for a broad range of applications, which include coatings on automobiles, appliance coatings, architectural coatings to a broad range of general metal finishing uses

Real-life FPS IRL Shooter has added new reward tiers to its Pozible campaign, including a lower level that allows you to dress as a zombie and chase players.
If you wanted to get in on the Patient 0 action when IRL Shooter brings its game to Sydney, but didn't quite have the cash for a AU$175 ticket, there's now a way you can join in. The team has just added a new reward tier that lets you take part — as a member of the zombie horde.
For just a pledge of AU$50, you can join the moaning masses. "If you ever wanted to live out your zombie fantasy and hunt live players, inflict real 'bite' damage and score points in the process, this is the reward for you," the new tier reads.
The full-price tickets are a little more expensive than the Melbourne campaign, which was priced at AU$125. For those who were balking at the cost, IRL Shooter has sweetened the pot: anyone who buys a full price ticket will also get to go play paintball. The team is offering 10 free passes plus 100 paintballs each for a day at Ultimate Paintball, valued at AU$500.
Finally, if you buy tickets in the month of February, you'll get a chance to play with Clare Costigan, AKA the Vixen Gamer.
So far the campaign, which launched on 16 December, has made AU$92,858 of its AU$1,000,000 target, with 90 per cent of tickets already sold reserved by Melbourne players intending to head to Sydney for a rematch.
If you were planning on a paintball match sometime soon anyway, head over and check it out — it's a pretty sweet deal.

Too good to be true
Via Drudge: Michael Jackson might soon be working with members of the Catholic Church to produce a sing-along for a few of the late John Paul II's prayers.
Father Giuseppe Moscati of the Edizioni Musicali Terzo Millennio, which specializes in church music and organizes musical events at the Vatican, said his company had the rights to 24 of Pope John Paul's prayers and wanted to put together a group of international artists to set them to music.
Jackson's keen to work on the project, and Father Moscati is considering his proposal, which might or might not include children's songs like:
"I'm not a Priest if you call me Big Daddy"
"There's Candy in My Pocket and the Lord is with Me!"
or the simple lullaby (and insta-classic)
"Get in the van."
Cheers to new friends and new beginnings, kids.

Top Chefs You Never Heard Of
By RICHARD JAY SCHOLEM
Published: November 15, 1998
CHEFS have become international celebrities. They have TV shows, write best-selling books, own companies that distribute their specialty dishes and make guest appearances at restaurants all over the world.
Emeril Lagasse and Wolfgang Puck have become household names. Although Manhattan's large concentration of celebrated chefs (David Bouley, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Daniel Boulud and Michael Romano among others), some kitchen commanders on Long Island are also achieving prominence.
George Hirsch, who operated American Bistro in Kings Park for years, has his own PBS television show devoted to grilling, and chefs like Michael Meehan of Tupelo Honey, Guy Reuge of Mirabelle, William Valentine of the Maidstone Arms and Thomas Schaudel of 107 Ocean Bistro are regularly invited to cook at the James Beard House in Manhattan.
No such recognition is accorded another group of local chefs. They work in obscurity in modest restaurants, yet have credentials and experience that rival the headliners'. More important, the dishes that emerge from their kitchens cost much less than those cooked by the big names and they are often as impressive.
Among these unknowns are the former executive chef of the Ritz Hotel in London, who now presides over two storefront tortilla spots; a European-trained American from a Michelin two-star French restaurant who cooks cajun, Mexican, Asian, Italian and English dishes in addition to pub grub at a corner cafe and grill; a former sous chef at La Cote Basque who now prepares chickens at a storefront spot in Little Neck, and a veteran Manhattan chef (La Caravelle, Le Cygne, Regine's, the Carlyle Hotel) who owns an outstanding American restaurant tucked into a corner of a shopping center.
Others are a former chef instructor at one of the nation's top restaurant schools who now cooks at a charming spot near the railroad tracks in Glen Head, a French-trained Austrian chef who worked for two of America's greatest culinary stars and now specializes in healthy, innovative dishes at his Hamptons storefront, and a Mirabelle-trained chef, with stints at Tupelo Honey and Mazzi, who does his cooking in a bookstore.
These unsung chefs have chosen less than prestigious paths for reasons that include love, money and mostly, ownership.
For Faz Esmizadeh of Acapulco, Mexico, it was all three. Now the chef and owner of the Tortilla Grills in Huntington and Great Neck, Mr. Esmizadeh, who comes from a restaurant family, traveled a circuitous road to the Island. As a young man he was sent to London to learn English. But he quickly gravitated to restaurants like No. 11 Park Row and the Ritz, where he became the executive chef. He came to this country seeking new challenges and while working for Victor Mayer Kosher Catering in Great Neck, he met a waitress named Ingrid who lived in Huntington. That's when and why he decided to open the Tortilla Grill with its healthful, wholesome food and where he continues to make the best tortillas on Long Island. The best of these soft, fresh, made-daily flour tortillas are the grilled steak with guacamole ($2.19) and the chicken stew ($1.79).
Paul Markowski came from a restaurant family too, but in Queens. Before returning to the Island and the humble, bargain-priced C. P. Michaels in Floral Park, his restaurant odyssey took him to, among other places, Sussex, England, and a one-year course in French cooking, to the World Trade Center, where he was the chef of the executive dining room, to Le Manor Aux Quai Saison, a two-star Michelin restaurant near Oxford, England, and to the River Cafe in Brooklyn. In 1991 he and a partner bought the Corner Cafe and Grill, where for seven years Mr. Markowski has offered dishes like pan-roasted monkfish on a bed of shiitake mushrooms, green beans and tomato with a lemon chive butter sauce and grilled marinated lamb shank in red wine shallot butter (each $13.95) to go with the bar crowd's burgers and chili.
Nelson Sham traveled a curious culinary route to achieve his goal of ''owning my own place after working for other people for 20 years.'' It has taken him from his native Hong Kong to a Chinese-Spanish restaurant in the Dominican Republic, to 12 years at the luxurious Le Cote Basque in Manhattan, where he was the sous chef, to stints at La Boheme in Greenwich Village and the Golden Coach in Lynbrook, and finally to unpretentious Nelson's Chicken in Little Neck. Although no one will ever confuse its dishes or decor with La Cote Basque's, Mr. Sham seems content preparing chicken as it is eaten in Italy, France, China, Hungary and the United States at entree prices as low as $2.79 (a quarter of a roast chicken with a cup of soup).
The West End Cafe, tucked into a corner of the Kids 'R Us shopping center on Glen Cove Road in Carle Place, gets no respect or at least not as much as it deserves. It is one of the Island's best undiscovered restaurants, largely owing to the efforts of William J. Holden, its chef and owner. Mr. Holden's 13-year-old American contemporary cafe (he's owned it since 1991), has profited from his vast experience at sophisticated Manhattan restaurants. He apprenticed at the Carlyle Hotel, learned French cooking from the Pujol family at Les Pyrenees, moved on to renowned La Caravelle and then Le Cinge before working for Jacques Maxim, a master French chef, at the Tucano Restaurant. Before leaving Manhattan for executive chef positions at La Marmite and the Piping Rock on the Island, he was the sous chef at Regine's.

By Kevin Young, the CannoneerJanuary 25, 2008
Little Jenny Clement didn't mean to make history when she joined the Army. In fact, the 17-year-old runaway said she was really trying to provoke her parents, her father in particular.
"He was an E-7 in Viet Nam, and when I ran away he thought I was only joining the Army to get away from him and find a husband," Clement said. "That was his mindset, typical of the times."
Times have changed in a major way for Clement and the Army. After 25 years of Army life, the feisty Boston native was promoted to the rank of command sergeant major in January: She became the first female ever to hold that rank in the Field Artillery, one of the Army's all-male combat arms.
Clement broke the all-male glass ceiling by overcoming a load of obstacles.
First, she had to overcome her own upbringing. She said she ran away at 17 because her mother made some phone calls to arrange for her to attend the right college. Clement wanted to make it on her own.
"I was a brat when I joined the Army," Clement said with a shake of her head. "I came from Boston, the Snob Hill crowd, and really had an attitude." Clement said her first assignment to the infantry division at Fort Ord, Cali., changed her attitude as she adjusted to the Army.
Challenges weren't limited to her sex, either. Clement also had to overcome the prejudice that she wasn't a "real" artilleryman. Clement spent most of her career as a field artillery meteorologist. She went out with division-level artillery units to report and predict local weather to help units achieve, "first hit accuracy." Though the "metro" section (so called because it was hard to pronounce "meteorological") went out to the field with the headquarters, supported the guns like the rest of the brigade's support element, felt the cold and rain and snow with the rest of the Army, they didn't pull lanyards, haul lanyards or other "real" artillery jobs. To some men, because the metro section members weren't combat arms, they were barely a part of the field artillery.
Airborne artillery
It's an opinion that Clement understands. Understanding came to her when she made the move from metro section to an operations tent. She was assigned to the 101st Airborne Fire and Effects Coordination Cell. That cell provides artillery support for the entire division.
"To be assigned in charge of the FECC section was the biggest honor in the artillery," Clement said. On the other hand, Clement admits she wasn't trained for the job. She didn't know anything about fire direction. She couldn't read operations overlays on maps. She couldn't write an operations order.
"It was all foreign to me," Clement said. "... As a female meteorologist, I wasn't allowed to hang around the FSE. They were all 13Foxes [artillerymen]."
Fortunately, help was close.
"I had an incredible colonel who took me under his wings," Clement said. "... I learned so much ... If you don't have a working knowledge of a TOC when you become a senior NCO, it will break you. It will overwhelm you."
She picked up the operations tools needed to succeed in a tough assignment only to confront another barrier: selection for the Sergeants Major Academy.
"I wanted a first sergeant position, but I just wasn't competitive with people who had already attended the SMA. I really didn't see me getting a slot. There was just a finite number of seats available and, let's be honest, there were many more qualified artillery men to compete for those seats than this one artillery woman," Clement said.
Unexpectedly, she caught a break, was pulled out of an Iraq deployment, and was sent to school at SMA.
Peace keeping
Another of Clement's firsts came when her unit was deployed to Bosnia. She became the first artilleryman in Bosnia in 1995.
"What happened is my plane landed before the operations staff," Clement said. "The TOC didn't even come in until two days later ...That was a trip. It was crazy."
About 6 percent of the allied peace keepers were air lifted into Tuzla, Bosnia, to secure the airfield and established headquarters. The other 94 percent, the heavy divisions, were to drive into Bosnia over the Sava River. The Army planned to cross the river using a ribbon bridge. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. The river crossing site became flooded and became a nightmare of mud.
"It was horrible," Clement recalled the flooded site. "We lost tanks. We lost a whole lot of equipment."
Next step
My whole career, the one job I ever wanted was to be the HHB [DIVARTY] first sergeant of the 101st Airborne" Clement said. "All my biggest mentors had been first sergeants of that battery. When I finally made E-8, I thought 'This is it!', but there was another female E-8 and technically she out-ranked me by a year. She got the job."
Instead of her dream job, Clement was made first sergeant of a unit training basic trainees at Fort Sill. Clement said it was a strange choice for the Army to make, since Army policy requires basic training first sergeants have drill sergeant experience and understand the ins and outs of the job.
She served over a year in that position, then Clement said she bounced through a couple of other Fort Sill assignments. Clement confided that she felt like taking retirement several times during this period. She said she was aching for a first sergeant position with a DIVARTY, "Because it was the type of unit I was raised in. I love it."
"I know I won't I leave this battalion and take over a field artillery brigade," Clement said. "I'm realistic. I know the restrictions. But I'd like to have a maneuver unit."

I went to Vancouver every weekends to meet my aunt and cousin, to gather together. Even we stay at home watching TV, playing mahjong and cook ourselves (by my aunt), we enjoy our time together. Since I don't have a driver's license yet, so I always take a bus to go to Vancouver. Here, I will give everyone a very comprehensive walkthrough on "How to go to Vancouver from Redmond by bus?". I am pretty sure anyone who visit Redmond will go sightseeing too. Vancouver (I mean Canada, not the one in Washington state) is really a nice place and you can get nice Chinese food there too.
Online resources in Washington state is always nice, visit http://transit.metrokc.gov and find any bus route and schedule online. Although they don't have bus stop information, their time table is quite accurate indeed. You can search both Metro King County and Sound Transit bus route on the same site. Other things you will need:
Here is your mission objectives:
Normally, I leave Redmond 1.2-1.5 hours before Quick Shuttle schedule. I recommend 2 hours if you are newbie. And one hour is my world's record.
In Redmond, go to Overlake Transit Center (pin 1, opposite of building 20/25, across NE 156th Ave), or SR-520 on-ramp bus stop (pin 2). You can see bus schedule on the stop post for ST545. Ride the bus. It normally takes 20-30 minutes from Overlake TC to Seattle Downtown area. Traffic jam is normal, don't panic, you should arrive there on time (ST545 timetable count traffic jam too). ST545 got few bus stops at freeway (Montlake, Evergreen Point, etc). It will also go thru a section of floating bridge (pin 3). If you are on the left-side of the bus and have good eyesight, you can see where Bill Gates live (pin 4). Another great thing of ST545 is some of their bus is Wi-Fi ready so you can surf Internet onboard. I never tried it yet.
After the ST545 bus get off-ramp from SR-520 (pin 5), ring the bell to notify the bus driver you want to drop off at next stop. You should get off at a rough car park (pin 6). ST545 bus should be facing south-west and you have to go north-east (backward). You will see a bicycle shop (pin 7) in front of you after two zebra crossings. Go there and turn left when you cross the 2nd crossing. You will then see a bus stop in front of you (pin 8), and it only serves Metro Route 8. This bus can save your energy, but it may not save you time. The bus timetable is not so accurate too. Remember, your objective is to reach Best Western Executive Inn (pin 9) at least 5 minutes beforehand. Or preferably, 15 minutes, so you can buy tickets by credit card.
To make the decision (to "bus" or not to "bus"), check for traffic congestion along Denny Way to the west (i.e. in front of you). If it is congested, route 8 may takes more than 30 minutes to travel, otherwise, it would takes only 5-10 minutes. As it only takes 20-25 minutes to walk to the hotel, you may consider walking instead. (I saw a Ferrari F430 Spyder on Denny Way stuck in congestion and I walk faster than it too, nice eh?)
If you prefer walking, go along Denny Way in front of you for 1 mile, going to west. Keep go straight on the north (or right) side of the road. You will go downhill (before Denny Park), and uphill again (on/after Denny Park). Since I can walk really very fast, so it only takes 15 minutes to go there. While you are walking, you will see an oil station with Star Bucks (pin 10) and Bank of America (pin 11). Turn right at the intersection before Bank of America and walk for one block. Turn left, cross the intersection and Best Western Executive Inn should be on your right just half block away. Also note that you will see another Best Western which is not Best Western Executive Inn, don't go there. The correct Best Western is very close to Space Needle (pin 12).
If you take a bus, tell the bus driver you want to drop off at Taylor or 6th Ave. Metro Route 8 go along Denny Way to the west. When you see highway 99 beneath you on your right (pin 13), you should get off very soon (within 1-2 blocks). I forget the exact position where the bus stop is, but it should be close to Bank of America (pin 11). After you drop off, go north for one block and you will see Best Western in front of you.
If you get lost accidentally, look for Space Needle (pin 12, a very tall tower) and Best Western Executive Inn should be 2 blocks east of it.
If you arrives at Best Western 15 minutes before Quick Shuttle arrives, you can go to the lobby and ask the reception for Quick Shuttle tickets, it normally takes 10 minutes to finish the transaction using credit card. I usually buy $47 weekenders round-trip pass. Weekenders pass allows you to leave Seattle on Fri-Sun, and go back from Vancouver on Sat-Mon, at a discounted price (original two-way is $59). Restrooms is okay in Best Western, just ask the reception. Quick Shuttle coach usually have restroom, but no one know how to turn on the light inside the restroom, and no tap water in it too. So I believe the onboard restroom is a mess.
When you are on Quick Shuttle, the bus driver will distribute Canada custom form before reaching the border (either when you get on-board or it arrives at Everett/Bellingham optional stop). Fill it out as soon as possible. Btw, one thing I like Quick Shuttle is that the bus driver will do head counting every time it reach a stop. I feel very secure that I won't be abandoned by the bus driver by any means.
The bus takes 2-3 hours to reach the border, and my favorite way to kill time is keep sleeping. When the bus arrive at the border (the Peace Arch), the bus driver will get off the bus and unload your luggage. If there's another bus ahead, your bus driver will wait until all other passengers passed immigration. Stay in your seat (and continue kill your time) until the driver come back after unloading and tell you to get off the car. Bring everything you brought, and I mean everything is everything. After you pass the immigration, there are clean restrooms on your left after glass doors. Wait until the bus drive forward and pick you up. Tell the bus driver where you want him to drop you off, give him your luggage (optional), and get back to your original seat. It takes roughly 1-2 minutes to Campbell River Store at Surrey, and 30-40 minutes to Vancouver airport. If you cell phone don't have roaming services, reception will be lost within 5 minutes after departing from Campbell River Store.

I have a question about python naming conventions. The answer is readily available on the Python documentation, but I think it would make for a great Stack Overflow question. Is it ok to still ask it?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Then there is no need to ask a question about it. Stack Overflow does not exist to copy existing documentation.
Let's turn it around a bit. Say you asked the question. The answer would really be "well, that's explicitly stated in the documentation". Which in turn would mean your research has been insufficient, which might well see your question downvoted.
So in short, if the question doesn't really add anything that exceeds the current documentation, don't ask it.
Well, it depends.
Documentation sometimes sucks. I'm presently thinking of the AngularJS documentation. Invariably, documentation pre-supposes that you know what it refers to. It's not generally made for the person who doesn't understand the system they're dealing with.
In the cases where the documentation does not adequately explain or cover a topic well, I fully expect people to have questions about it, and I hope they ask those questions on Stack Overflow. I think of Stack Overflow like BASF for documentation. We don't make documentation. We make documentation better.
So long as your question pertaining to documentation:
It's ok.
In this case, your question is about naming conventions. By and large, this is a style issue (and even where it's not, it's generally one of the things documentation gets right). Because of these factors, it is not a good question for Stack Overflow.
If the answer can easily be found in the official documentation, then it wouldn't make a good Stack Overflow question. If you have to piece together a solution from several sources that you find on Google, then you might have a good question/answer to post.

Hartford - Southeastern Connecticut lawmakers on Wednesday echoed aspects of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's State of the State address, which urged the General Assembly to "take real steps to make our kids and communities safer."
The opening of the 2013 state legislative session came 36 hours after an armed standoff ended in Norwich, two days after the New London City Council considered a gun buyback program, and less than a month after 26 people were shot dead inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Veteran and freshmen lawmakers from the region agreed action on gun control and mental health care access would be high priorities this session and that something would be done. Several agreed that banning high-capacity magazines and revisiting an assault weapons ban are the most obvious short-term answers.
"The fact that the governor led with this issue is critical," Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, said. "This is Connecticut, this happened in Connecticut, and that's something we need to address, and it needs to be addressed on a national stage, too."
Freshman Rep. Timothy Bowles, D-Preston, said after the governor's address that he respects the right to own firearms and, though not a hunter himself, allows others to use his farm as a hunting ground. "Responsible ownership" is key, he said.
"There has to be a comprehensive review of current law," Bowles said, which includes ammunition capacity in automatic weapons. "I'm open to a full discussion on gun control."
Rep. Edward Moukawsher, D-Groton, said there's "no question we'll do something about guns," but he was unsure what specific actions would be taken. He said he understands the desire for people to own weapons, but added, "I don't know that there's any good use for large capacity magazines. I don't see what the rationale is."
Moukawsher said gun control, generally a partisan issue, would bring the parties together in the "spirit of Newtown."
"There's a heartfelt sense that bipartisanship, cooperation and understanding needs to be emphasized, and I think it will be," he said. "People are going to have differences of opinion, but I think that was a sincere expression of what everyone in the House would like to do, ideally."
Freshman Rep. Emmett Riley, D-Norwich, said better background checks and limits on ammunition access should be the first steps. He said Monday night's standoff in Norwich, which left a police officer shot and the suspect dead, brought home the need for change.
"It was a difficult situation, and when you have things like that you need to start corralling things in and making things safer," he said.
Sen. Cathy Osten, D-Sprague, said she will focus on mental health issues this legislative session. She said she worked on such issues before her election, including inadequate access to mental health care. One piece of legislation Osten said she plans to introduce would provide paid time off for first responders and emergency personnel who work at a horrific scene like the one in Newtown, "so they can get whole again."
Among other needed action, Urban said, is funding for "panic buttons" in schools that would contact emergency personnel. She said she'll also reintroduce a bill from last year that would ban the possession of replica firearms on and near school grounds.
Urban thinks lawmakers will "take a pretty big look at semiautomatic weapons" regulations, ban large capacity magazines, close loopholes at gun shows and improve background checks on gun buyers. Editor's note: This corrects an earlier version of this paragraph.
"We're trying to make it safer for everybody as we examine this," Urban said. "We need to make people safer at the margin, which means where we can influence it.
"We're not trying to take away your right to own a gun, but we're trying to say, much as we say when you drive a car, wear a seat belt, have an air bag. When you ride a bicycle, you have to have a bicycle helmet. So what we're saying with our gun legislation is, 'How can we make everybody safer?' not taking away your right to own a gun."

Nunn Bush Men's Outboard Medium/Wide Slip On Boat Shoe Reviews
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 5reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by InNeedOfMoreShoes comfy but stylish My husband loves these shoes. He was looking for something that was more casual than a full on dress shoe for work. These fit the bill completely. November 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SuzMM Great Purchase I bought these shoes for my father who is disabled. He loves them. They are very comfortable and easy for him to put on. He and I highly recommend this shoe. The quality is superb! April 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TXLimey Really comfortable First, the reason for the 4 star rating is that the shoe has no arch support. I would've rated them 4.5 stars if it had been possible but due to no arch support in shoe, couldn't give them 5 stars.I purchased these shoes for my husband who has been looking for a pair of casual slip-ons for a while now w/no luck until I found these.They are well constructed & stylish w/a cushion footbed which, according to my husband, is very comfortable. February 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mario1 Very Comfortable Shoe This shoe has great support as well as being very comfortable. September 13, 2013

Unmaintained Air Ducts: The 5 Dirtiest Penalties
What is the problem with some dust or a small amount of soil in ducts that would need you to either clean it yourself or call for a reliable duct cleaning service? A lot, there really are several issues everyone is talking about due to filthy ducts, including increased energy prices to health complications.
The heating and cooling of your HVAC system can be made ineffective by dust and soil. In winter months, soil clogged heat switchers and furnaces cannot heat up your home as economically as it should do. In addition to this condensing coils clogged by dirt cannot make the air cool enough in the summertime. The result means the run time of the HVAC systems can dramatically increase during these times therefore to make your home warm or cool, the dirty system simply needs extra energy, consuming more fuel and costing more money to run.
Air flow can be hampered by soil and dust. Yes, your HVAC system is performing to its maximum capacity to give you the coolest or warmest environment. But when the filter of the air is bunged up by dust it can render the system useless and unable to perform effectively to make your house cool or warm, which in turn will force it to consume more energy just to keep you comfy.

Re: 2 new accounts on USAA, but no SW alert?
If I had that, I'd manually go through the alerts for new accounts to see if maybe an e-mail go lost in cyberspace somehere. I'd also look at EQ again (via USAA or wherever) to confirm that it's reporting. I'd also confirm the open date (just in case there was somesort of backdating). If no alert, and these are new accounts, I'd call myFICO.

BYU study charts new territory: Can you break the cycle of obesity?
"Large surveys have people report what they do, and when you do that, about 50 to 60 percent of the population report that they get at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day. But put objective devices on them, and it's less than 10 percent who are actually doing regular exercise," he said. "There's a significant discrepancy between what people report and what they are doing."
The study measured physical activity performed by 254 female participants, 124 of whom were considered obese. The women each wore the accelerometers for a week at the start of the study and then for a week at the end. On average, physical activity dropped by 8 percent over the course of 20 months for the obese participants. Tucker said it equates to cutting exercise time down by 28 minutes a week.
Non-obese participants showed essentially no change over the course of the study, maintaining similar levels of physical activity from the beginning to the end.
While planned and orchestrated physical activity is the best way to work it into a daily schedule, Tucker said brisk walking for a minimum of 30 minutes a day for five days a week "works quite nicely" for most people. Putting exercise off until the end of the day, he said, makes it tougher to accomplish.
"It takes a unique individual to get 150 minutes a week," Tucker said. "It's as important as most other things in our lives. You just have to fit it in. You can't say, 'I'll do it if I have time,' because it just won't happen."
Tucker said he jogs on his treadmill early every morning in order to get it out of the way. The current environment, with its stimulating foods, ready access and easy preparation, he said, "is making it more difficult for people to be active and to be lean."
Avoiding the cycle of increased weight gain and decreased ability to change it, he said, begins with an active childhood or a lifestyle that incorporates daily movement.
"When people aren't used to moving and never learned to enjoy movement or physical activity, it can be harder to pick up later in life," Tucker said, adding that physical activity tends to decrease over time, as age increases.
Once a person gets into his or her 20s, he said, there is a significant drop-off in time spent exercising.
"We just find other things to do with our time," Tucker said, adding that weight gain and the increasing difficulty to move are also factors "working against us."
Sticking with a regular exercise program, he said, can yield the best results, but moderate exercise "makes a huge difference in health."
Jared Tucker, a graduate student at the time, was the lead author of the study, and exercise science professors James LeCheminant and Bruce Bailey also contributed. Their work will be published in the March issue of Obesity.

BiographyI remember vividly the day I walked away from the city of my birth, the city of my people. All the Underdark lay before me, a life of adventure and excitement, with possibilities that lifted my heart. More than that, though, I left Menzoberranzan with the belief that I could now live my life in accordance with my principles. I had Guenhwyvar at my side and my scimitars on my hips. My future was my own to determine.

Say I have two columns, the currency and the exchange rate and on another sheet in the same workbook, I'm referencing the currency as a drop down list. I want to be able to pull the value of the exchange rate, which is in another column and plug that into a formula.
To add to that, the values, normalized at one currency, is then summed.
Currency Exchange Rate to USD USD 1 EUR 1.307 JOD 3.59 KWD 1.41
And the desired output:
Expense Currency Value Value(USD)(Invisible) X USD 1000 1000 Y EUR 4321 5647.55 Z KWD 1000 3590 Total 10237.55 (always calculated in USD, the nominal currency)

"Not so much post- as pre-rock, L.A. chanteuse LaMuff evokes several of the entries in Nick Tosches' estimable study Unsung Heroes of Rock 'N' Roll while working her own permutation of SoCal hip-hop. The title track's epically weird "It ain't lame/It's lamé" is merely the opening salvo in a Somme-like bombardment of half-connected nouns and verbs that add up to the funniest thing since Lothar & the Hand People. LaMuff's voice is clearly the product of many hours of highly competent training and she displays a commendable sense of variety, following up the aforementioned Tinseltown camp with "Proof," a synth-driven disco sobber of the kind Grace Jones used to emit back in the Reagan Age. "Come On, Taste My Rainbow" is a word salad built on a chopped-up Eurythmics riff with a rhyme of "refraction" with "attraction" that is one of its more edible components. The deadpan "Scrabble Champ" closes out proceedings in an icy hail of glossolalia, neologism a"
