Gluconeogenesis is the process whereby glucose is synthesized from non-carbohydrate precursors, which enables yeast cells to grow on non-sugar carbon sources like ethanol, glycerol, or peptone. The reactions of gluconeogenesis, shown here, mediate conversion of pyruvate to glucose, which is the opposite of glycolysis, the formation of pyruvate from glucose. While these two pathways have several reactions in common, they are not the exact reverse of each other. As the glycolytic enzymes phosphofructokinase (Pfk1p, Pfk2p) and pyruvate kinase (Cdc19p) only function in the forward direction, the gluconeogenesis pathway replaces those steps with the enzymes pyruvate carboxylase (Pyc1p, Pyc2p) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1p)-generating oxaloacetate as an intermediate from pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate-and also the enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (Fbp1p) (reviewed in 4). Overall, the gluconeogenic reactions convert two molecules of pyruvate to a molecule of glucose, with the expenditure of six high-energy phosphate bonds, four from ATP and two from GTP. Expression of genes encoding several of the gluconeogenic enzymes is subject to glucose repression (5).
MDH2 encodes cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, which generates oxaloacetate for glucose synthesis during gluconeogenesis. As such, Mdh2p is required for growth on minimal medium with ethanol or acetate as the carbon source (1). There are two other malate dehydrogenase isozymes: Mdh1p localizes to mitochondria and functions in the TCA cycle, and Mdh3p is in the peroxisome and is thought to catalyze a step in the glyoxylate pathway (reviewed in 3).
Levels of Mdh2p are regulated by glucose represssion of transcription and also by protein degradation when glucose-starved cells are replenished with glucose (6). Mdh2p is phosphorylated during the process of degradation, and both phosphorylation and degradation require a 12-residue amino-terminal extension not found in Mdh1p and Mdh3p (7, 8). There appear to be two pathways for degradation of Mdh2p: a proteasomal pathway that acts following short-term glucose starvation and a vacuolar pathway that functions following long-term glucose starvation (6). Mdh2p interacts with Pck1p and Fbp1p, which may facilitate flux through the gluconeogenic pathway, given the unfavorable equilibrium for formation of oxaloacetate from malate (3).

Solo Teriyaki Chicken Recipe
A simple marinade flavors the chicken nicely in this meal-in-one rice dish from Bill Hilbrich of St. Cloud, Minnesota. "I keep meals interesting for myself by cooking creatively," he notes.
- 2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup chicken broth, divided
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 1/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup uncooked long grain rice
- 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
- In a resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons broth, soy sauce, garlic, sugar and ginger; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Drain and discard marinade. In a skillet, brown chicken in oil. Stir in the rice, mushrooms and remaining broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-17 minutes or until the rice is tender. Yield: 1 serving.

Not to put a wrench in the works but there's more than one way to kill a rabbit.
I've never shot a real gun. I used to hunt rabbit, only to eat, with a ferret. Yeah.
Walked miles with a couple friends to where they were actually considered a problem to farmers etc. Placed our nets over the burrow holes and send in the ferret.
There's no buckshot to ruin your $1000 dentures. There's no fun either in digging out your ferret to the shrieking screams coming from within the burrow. Even a blind ferret gets a rabbit once in a while. Not to coin a phrase.
Well, I suppose that's more sporting than hunting rabbits with greyhounds. BTW, while we think of wolves as top predators, you can google up videos of Asian hunters using golden eagles to kill wolves.
@Hopalong! - RE: "Not to coin a phrase" - maybe not, but that IS a good phrase, I think I'll save it for next time I'm in spit-n-whittle country - it helps to sound like a local.

ASU math professors and former assistant dean honored at annual Alumni Association awards ceremony
Augusta, GA – Augusta State University mathematicians Jim and Michelle Benedict were among the honorees at the Alumni Association's annual dinner and awards ceremony on Friday, Feb. 16, at the Savannah Rapids Pavilion.
Dr. Benedict, professor of mathematics, and Ms. Benedict, assistant professor of mathematics, both in ASU's Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, received the Town and Gown Award, given to individuals who connect the university with the community it serves.
An ASU faculty member since 1976, Dr. Benedict is the co-chair of this year's Cullum Series, A Year of Jazz at ASU, and he was instrumental in bringing jazz greats such as David "Fathead" Newman, Dick Goodwin, and the Lincoln Center's Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra to Augusta. He and Ms. Benedict are members of the Band Mama 'Chelle and the Amazing Jim Daddies and have been playing together since 1990. They have played numerous concerts for charities and the university.
Dr. Benedict is a member of Leadership Augusta Alumni, the American Mathematical Society, the Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Mathematical Association of America, and the American Association of University Professors. He has written a number of songs for musical productions at Augusta State and has starred and directed in several ASU musicals.
He earned a bachelor's and a master's degree, both from Central Michigan University, and a doctoral degree from Western Michigan University.
A faculty member since 1981, Ms. Benedict is the co-sponsor of ASU's Euclidean Society and the chapter advisor for Augusta State's chapter of the Mathematical Association of America. She maintains the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science's tutor list and supplies the community and ASU students with math tutors. She also devotes Sunday nights at the end of the semesters to holding math tutoring sessions at University Village.
Named the Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year in 2001, Ms. Benedict is also a member of the Mathematical Association of America as well as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Ms. Benedict earned a bachelor's degree from Lambuth College and a master's degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The Benedicts are currently of working with others to fund an ASU summer camp for selected rising high school sophomores from the Academy of Richmond County and Lucy C. Laney High School for a "holistic quadrivium experience" for students in geometry, which will involve discovery learning, music through Suzuki violin and drum circles, exercise through walking and dance, and healthy life philosophy through nutrition.
The alumni association also honored Mary K. Lisko, former assistant dean of ASU's Hull College of Business and former assistant professor of business administration, who received the Distinguished Service Award. Ms. Lisko retired from the university after 29 years, and during the last 17, she served as the Faculty Athletic Representative to the National Collegiate Athletic Association. In her years as a faculty representative, she became involved with the NCAA on a national level. She was on the association's national committee and chaired the Academic Requirement Committee for many years. In that role, she identified academic requirements for Division II athletes across the country. At one time, she also chaired all three divisions—Divisions I, II, and III. Ms. Lisko earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Mankato State University in Red Wing, Minn., and a master's degree in business administration from the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Other award winners include Jennifer L. Hilliard, '01 and '06, media relations coordinator at the Medical College of Georgia, who received the Young Alumna Award; Edward J. Tarver, '82, Georgia state senator, who received the Golden Key Award; and Edward B. Polite, '69, a member of the ASU Foundation and former chief operating officer of General Cigar Holdings, Inc., who received the Distinguished Alumnus Award.
The association also presented the slate of the 2007-2008 board of directors and new officers. The slate of officers includes Rhonda L. Oellerich, '00, president; Natasha H. Pratt, '96, immediate past president; Andrea Turley, '85, secretary/treasurer; Lynthia Ross, '03 and '06, vice president for awards; Laura Tilt, '00 and '05, vice president for college relations; Ingrid Etterlee, '04, vice president for development; Mary Margaret Epps, '03 and '06, vice president for membership; Scott Argo, '04, vice president for public relations; and Jennifer L. Hilliard, '01 and '06, vice president for social.
New members were elected to the association's board of directors, and they include Dwight M. Johnson, '96 and '05; Frank S. Lindley, '85; Mercedes A. Petkus, '05; Christopher R. Baxter, '05; and Deborah P. Hemingway, '02.

The audience cheered when North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue gave a rousing speech this weekend a state Democratic Party dinner in Greensboro, but Democrats also are expressing relief and uncertainty on her sudden departure from the campaign trail.
She announced Thursday she wouldn't seek re-election, saying she didn't want her sales tax increase proposal for education to become overly politicized in a re-election campaign.
Perdue would have faced a tough road to victory. She hadn't been able to shrug off low approval numbers, a high unemployment rate and a pending investigation of her campaign committee.
Democratic Rep. Mickey Michaux of Durham said she probably made the right decision to step aside because many were worried she could drag down other candidates.

Hi all,
Got some question about saving overlapping slices.
All of the slices are 200px square and I want to save them as 200px. But they are overlapping and when saving for web, photoshop will divide them removing laps and changing squares to 180x200 or someting like that. I can select every slice and bring it on front, and save each other, but of course I would like to use some script or an action to do it. Any ideas?
Or maybe there is a script to save selections, so I could make 200px selections and save them all at once, probably with some action...
CS5 png. The problem is I will use it often on that file, make some changes later and then save it once again. Dividing image with fixed rectangulars sounds like repeating process. So basically slices are great because they stay in a file forever in the same position.
I've got some idea of using rectangulars as placeholders for further divide, so when I update the file I would use some action to copy everything what's underneath into layers and then export. But still, some of the manual work here...

We make a blender shake with spinach, frozen fruit, protein powder, a banana and unsweetened cherry juice.
May 17, 2013
Good product
This wasn't the best tasting protein shake but it was easy to drink compared to some others I've tried. I would drink before work and it kept me full and energized for about 4-5 hours.

Back in 1950, when it was still known as the Miami Beach Municipal Auditorium, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, and Frank Sinatra could be seen in the audience acting like average Joes while enjoying song-and-dance shows and boxing bouts. Throughout the following decades, the entertainment mecca has remained a magnet for famous entertainers. In 1964, when the city of Miami asked famed funnyman and honeymooner Jackie Gleason to move his television variety show from New York to Miami Beach, he relocated in a bang-zoom, declaring "Miami Beach audiences are the greatest in the world," then muttering under his breath, "and New York audiences smell like Art Carney's hat." Rechristened as The Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts in 1987, the theater hosted the best in Broadway shows, dance and classical-music performances, and concerts throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

Holden and Lily invite Fran and Marty over for dinner. As Fran is looking at a picture of Luke she lets slips that she has a little boy also. The couple has to quickly come up a story about the little boy being adopted. While Lily takes Fran up to see the nursery, Marty searches through the drawers and finds Lily pre-natal vitamins. Holden catches him and asks what is he doing. As soon as Lucinda arrives for the dinner Fran suddenly says she does not feel well and the couple leave. Outside the door Marty makes a call to David and tells him the mission was a success. In the morning Lily discovers that someone was rummaging through the drawers. She asks Holden about it and he tells her that the couple they had over last night is not who they are suppose to be.

Love the mascara, looks great and provides a curl in eyelashes. Not as much of a fan of the eyeliner - seems to take multiple efforts to make a line.
This mascara is fantastic! Great volume and length with a brush fine enough to treat your bottom lashes. No smudging or smearing - stays put all day long.
I got the mascara as a sample and loved it so I had to buy the full version and thought I would try the eyeliner too. Both products work great! The mascara stays on all day and does not bother my sensitive eyes. The eyeliner is very easy to apply but does wipe off somewhat easily.
I love how the wand works to cover all of your eye lashes. The consistency is great and it appears my lashes are even more full. The downside is that the mascara comes out and all over the container easily, and I still get clumps when I put it on. Way better than other mascaras I've tried - and that's a lot.
I have a love for mascara and have tried so many different ones. This one is worth every penny. It is the best mascara I have ever had, hands down!!
Eyeko makes such wonderful products! This eyeliner glides on easily and allows for a narrow or wider liner. The mascara defines & elongates my lashes without rubbing off.
I love this mascara. My lashes are starting to get thin as I age. This mascara works well on them making them look fuller but not in a Tammy Fay Baker way (meaning not thick and fake looking). I'm totally in love with the eye liner. It is so easy to use and doesn't run down my face as I watch my son compete at swim meets. Will order again and again!
I love the Mascara and bought the full size of that product. I just received the Eyeliner in my sample box. It does not flow evenly out of the tube and possibly is not a good test for that item. I think I would like it otherwise.
I got this mascara in my birchbox and loved it! I also love the "marker" type liquid eyeliner so I was excited to try a product from the same brand! both great. great value to buy together
Both of these go on smoothly and really stay put. I also like the packaging and intense pigmentation. Its a keeper.

PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES These guidelines explain the American Mineralogist publication procedures, standardized units, and style. Following these guidelines and any revisions listed on the inside back cover of subsequent issues of the journal will reduce time spent during manuscript revision and will help assure rapid publication at reasonable cost. It advised to obtain the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is necessary for viewing page proofs and other aspects of the submission and review process. Submit papers via our web-based system at http://minsocam.allentrack.net. Please note that updates or corrections to your contact information on this web site will NOT be transfered to your MSA membership/subscription data. Or vice versa. If your contact info changes, then both databases will need to be updated. The data will be confidential and not sold or given to other organizations. As you probably know, the system of scientific peer review depends on volunteers who contribute their time and resources for the benefit of the worldwide scientific community. Editors, reviewers, and associate editors are vital to maintain our standards of quality; therefore, make the most of their time and yours by following these guidelines. Submissions must not be already published, in whole or in part, in print or online. If publishing to an open archive is desired for a paper accepted by Am Min, then the open access/archive charge of $250 per PAGE (typeset) will be required before the accepted paper will be published in/on Am Min. MSA is a nonprofit society funding the journal primarily with a subscriber-based economic model. Subscriptions to online versions or the traditional print version are kept as low in cost as possible by offsets from author page charges and other revenue. To keep Am Min viable, if the paper is to be freely available to all readers concurrently or previously to publication, then the author must pay the open access/archive charges (and the paper will also be open to all readers on our online sites). For institutional/funding requirements it is possible that a post-publication "e-link" may suffice, for $60. Any details can be discussed with the managing editor before submission -- and all details are on the "page charge/reprint" form that the accepted authors are sent. Note that all the information below is about Manuscript Preparation and is VERY IMPORTANT! Failure to adhere to these guidelines may delay submission, review, or production of your paper. Quick links to info on:

Should I submit my paper to Am Min? Q2. What should my manuscript look like? Q3. What are the guidelines for Tables and Figures? Q4. Is Crystallographic data required for my paper? Q6. How will I receive my page proofs? Q7. What's the deal with page charges and reprints/offprints? Q8. Does American Mineralogist offer "Open Access" or Open Archive publication? Q1. Should I submit my paper to Am Min? A1. THE SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL: American Mineralogist, the journal of the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA), publishes the results of original scientific research in the general fields of mineralogy, crystallography, geochemistry, and petrology. Specific areas of coverage include, but are not restricted to, igneous and metamorphic petrology, experimental mineralogy and petrology, crystal chemistry and crystal-structure determinations, mineral spectroscopy, mineral physics, isotope geochemistry, major and trace element geochemistry, planetary material science, clay minerals, mineral surface science, geochemistry of mineral-fluid systems, environmental mineralogy, biomineralization, geomicrobiology, new minerals and mineral occurrences, petrography and petrogenesis, ore deposits, and mineralogical apparatus and techniques. Any author who is concerned about the suitability of the subject of their paper should contact one of the Editors for advice. (E-mail addresses available here: http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/AmMin/aes/aelist.html.) Manuscripts are judged on the basis of significance, originality, appropriateness of subject matter, and clarity of presentation. As befitting a journal with international reach, submitted manuscripts should have high import as well as broad appeal. In cover letters, authors must explain the importance of their research, and why their results would be of interest to an international audience. The decision regarding acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is the responsibility of the Editors and is based in large part on the recommendations of Associate Editors and reviewers. Membership in MSA is not a prerequisite for publication in American Mineralogist. Link to full information on the scope of American Mineralogist, including different paper types, e.g., Regular vs. Letter, etc. Q2. What should my manuscript look like? A2. MANUSCRIPT FORMAT: Manuscripts must be typed with double spacing throughout in a size comparable to Times Roman/plain 12 pt type. All pages must be numbered. The parts of the manuscript should appear in this order: Please note that it is helpful and conserves paper and time to have title, authors, affilations, and abstract all on the same page whenever possible. Conserve paper by not putting in section breaks, but simply run the sections together. Also note that a lot of the details below are more necessary for the final version as opposed to the submission version. However, a little extra at the beginning should save you a lot of time at the end plus make everything clearer to the editors and reviewers. Note: Tex or LaTex files are not acceptable for final versions, and not preferred in general. The author must have the manuscript converted (perhaps via http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex2rtf/ or whatever program you prefer; we do not officially have a conversion recommendation), or retyped into Word/rtf. If we do the conversion for you, there will be a minimum charge of $100. Capitalize only the first letter of the title and the first letter of the subtitle, if any, as you would in any sentence. Do not begin the title with a number, symbol, or Greek letter. Examples: Beryl stability in local hydrothermal and chemical environments in a mineralized granite Coordination of Ti4+ in silicate glasses: A high-resolution XANES spectroscopy study at the Ti K edge II. NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF AUTHORS (AFFILIATIONS) Names should be typed normally, not with all caps and not in small caps. All names are listed together with commas as appropriate and "and" used before the last author. Addresses should be keyed to the author's name with superscript numbers, with the address typed normally. Important! Author first names should be spelled out full, rather than simply using intials, to enhance web discoverability and protect authorship identity, e.g. Robert R. Smith; rather than R.R. Smith (unless of course you are known and established in the literature by your initials). Example: Don Jones1,* and Hilda Smith2 1Department of Earth Sciences, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 00000, U.S.A. 2Department of Geology, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 00000, U.S.A. * Present address: Department of Geology, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 00000, U.S.A. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com (If the second author had a change of address, then the † (dagger) symbol would be used, and so on for multiple authors.) The abstract should state concisely what was done and what was concluded in about 250 words if possible, but no more than 800 words. The abstract should be able to capture broad interest and so must indicate why the results are suitable to an international audience. Finally, the abstract should include important numbers (e.g., temperature range, compressibility, thermodynamic data). Literature citations should not appear in the abstract. Immediately following the abstract should be a line of keywords, e.g.: Keyword: rock, mineral, etc. Pick words that will aid a computer-Google-type search of and for your paper. In addition, here are more Abstract suggestions to consider seriously. In just a few sentences, very briefly, provide key introduction to your paper; the key data/analysis; and finally the key points and conclusions, the latter of which must show why your paper will be of broad interest and appropriate for a journal with an international audience. You want to entice people who skim abstracts to click on your paper. These are the basic components (adjust these to fit your paper!): (1) Motivation/problem statement: Why do we care about the problem? What practical, scientific, theoretical or other gap is your research filling? (2) Methods/procedure/approach: What did you actually do to get your results? (3) Results/findings/product: As a result of completing the above procedure, what did you learn? (4) Implications: What are the larger implications of your findings, especially for the problem/gap identified in step 1? 1) Boldface, Italic, Super- and Subscripts. Please use these appropriately, for example variables are italic and vectors are bold. Please be sure to use super- and subscripts, not raised or lowered type. We prefer use of the font "Times" or "Times (New) Roman/plain" and we do not need titles larger than body copy or the references smaller; in fact, everything should be 12 pt type. Note that words and mineral names and numbers are never italic, for example "Ca" would never be italic, nor would the "o" for "observations" or the "c" for "calculations." 2) Special Characters. Special characters include en- and em-dashes, Greek letters, and mathematical symbols. You must use the "Symbol" font for greek letters and symbols as much as possible--not the special characters from the "insert special character" box unless there is no other option. Do not use handmade characters such as lowercase, superscript "o" for the degree sign. 3) Equations. You can use Word equation editor or Mathtype to create display equations. For small expressions with stacked characters DO NOT USE AN EQUATION PROGRAM. If X0i is your expression, we will know to stack it. Or you can say {note to typesetting} if you are concerned about notation at any point, for example {note to typesetting, these minus signs are overbars on top of the 1}. Presentation of mathematical equations is patterned after Mathematics into Type (Swanson 1979). In general, variables are italicized; numbers, functions, and constants are Roman/plain. Greek letters are already "special" and should not be further italicized. If simple reactions, equilibria, and mathematical equations do not need to be referred to later by a number, they should be incorporated into the text, as, for example, y = mx + b. If mineral names must be centered under reactants and products or if a space-consuming fraction is involved, however, the item should be set off as a display (i.e., placed on a separate line by itself). Reactions, equilibria, and mathematical equations that are referred to subsequently are displayed and numbered sequentially by using a number in parentheses at the right margin. They should be referred to in the text as Equation 3, reaction 4, or Equilibrium 5 (In parentheses they should be referred to as Eq. 3, reaction 4, or Equilibrium 5). Reactions and equations are punctuated as part of the sentence; for example, "...the FMQ buffer reaction is 3Fe2SiO4 + O2 = 2Fe3 O4 +3SiO2. fayalite magnetite quartz" (where these should be neatly under the corresponding formula) 4) Headings. Use headings to break the text into sections. The first word and any proper names are capitalized. Only three orders of headings may be used: main or first-order headings (centered), second-order headings (on a line by itself, flush left), and third-order headings (after a paragraph indention, bold, and followed by a period). View a recent issue for examples. If subheadings are used, there must be at least two subheadings under a heading. 5) Usage and style. American spelling and usage according to Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language are standard in the journal. To promote clarity, American Mineralogist usually follows the recommendations of the Chicago Manual of Style regarding capitalization, hyphenation, and use of commas but our house style will take priority. Please note that we do not hyphenate numbers and units even when used as a modifier (e.g., 5 mm diameter holes). Many items that seem "latin" such as et al. are kept in Roman/plain style and not italic. In general, variables are italicized; numbers, functions, and constants are Roman/plain. Greek letters are already "special" and should not be further italicized. Examples of symbols that should be italicized are listed in All About Units. Bold face type is reserved exclusively for vectors. Polytypes are italicized, but site labels are Roman/plain, with no parentheses around the number (e.g., muscovite-2M1, M1 site). Complex notation, for example subscripts to subscripts (as in fO2) or overbars, could be explained to the Editorial Office in a letter or marginal note so that the manuscript can typeset correctly, if you have any concern, but we are familiar with such notation. 6) Other style points. A few of the style points adopted by Am Min to promote consistency and clarity are mentioned here for easy reference. A sentence should not begin with an Arabic number or a symbol (e.g., "The values for a quartz" rather than beginning with "a-quartz values"). A zero should precede the decimal point for values less than one, e.g., 0.25 rather than .25. The chemical-element abbreviation is used in reference to atoms, in chemical formulas, and in modifiers (e.g., Fe-rich). The element name is spelled out for substances (e.g., iron bar, crucible of platinum) and in written formulas (e.g., carbon dioxide, iron titanium oxide). Ionic charge is indicated by a superscript plus sign or minus sign following the symbol of the element; for multiple charges, an Arabic superscript numeral precedes the plus sign or minus sign, e.g., Na+, Cl–, Ca2+, S2–. For designation of coordination numbers, the element symbol is preceded by a superscript Roman/plain number: VIAl. 7) More rules for Estimated Standard Deviation. Precision of measurement may be indicated as 1.781 ± 0.002, if 0.002 represents a subjective estimate of the measurement error. Where sufficient data permit calculation of the estimated standard deviation (e.s.d.), indicate it with parentheses e.g., 1.781(2) and 1.781(11) indicate an e.s.d. of 0.002 and 0.011, respectively. Only significant digits shall be given for the observed value, i.e., e.s.d. values in parentheses should be given as single or double digit integers. American Mineralogist as a policy requests that all measured values have to be accompanied by some indication on the uncertainty. Ideally this should be a properly calculated standard uncertainty. Only in exceptional cases, if scarcity of sample or some other special circumstances prohibit any even subjective estimation of an uncertainty, can this rule be waived. 8) Implications Section [the concluding paragraph(s) of a paper]. Authors should follow their "Discussion" section, with a final section titled "Implications". This section should be forward-looking; it is intended to provide authors with the opportunity to place their results into a broader context. That context should highlight the importance of the work, and emphasize relevance to and beyond the sub-discipline. This section is not to be confused with a "Conclusions" section, which like the abstract only summarizes the paper (such sections will be cut, regardless of how they are titled). The Editors will look to the Implications section to help judge whether a paper should be highlighted, and to judge whether a paper is suitable for the journal. We also advise authors to report Implications within the Abstract. 9) Acknowledgments. The acknowledgments section should be brief but inclusive. Please double check grant numbers and spelling of personal and company names. 1) Overview. All citations in the text, figures, tables, and other supporting parts of the manuscript must be in the reference list and vice versa; please make sure that the references are accurate and complete. CSL style may help: We have a brand new listing in CitationStyles.org -- if you keep your references in a citation database and apply styles depending on where you submit, in theory you should now be able to apply our style. (If you don't keep a citation database and have no idea what any of this means, don't worry about.) Here's some links of possible information and help about CSL:
Unpublished information, including papers in preparation or submitted but not yet accepted, should be omitted from the reference list. These can be cited in the text as J. Doe (unpublished manuscript) or B. Jones (personal communication). Examples of the common types of references are listed in All About References. Consult a recent issue of the journal for other examples. Follow the guidelines outlined below. Here is a very basic example of our style: Bailey, S.W. (1982) Nomenclature for regular interstratifications. American Mineralogist, 67, 394–398. 2) Style and format. All authors in the references must be listed by: last name, followed by initials (with a comma between, i.e., Jones, H.). For successive references with identical author(s), the author list is replaced by a series of m-dashes. The first author's first name may be spelled out if there is a chance of confusion. Journal names must be spelled out in full. No parts of the reference are italicized, boldface, or underlined. The reference list is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the first author. If several references have the same first author, list the singly authored papers first in chronological order, then list the papers with two authors in alphabetical (then chronological) order, and then list the papers with three or more authors in chronological order, without regard to second or subsequent authors' names. 3) Citations. The style of reference citation in the text is illustrated by the following examples: Bailey (1982), Nickel and Mandarino (1987), and Graham et al. (1985). Parenthetical citations are may also be used (Swanson 1979) and (Jones et al. 2006). Separate multiple citations in parentheses with a semicolon, i.e., (Bailey 1982; Graham et al. 1985). Use lowercase letters to distinguish references that would have identical years: for example, Smith (1993a), or Smith (1993a, 1993b), or (Smith 1993a, 1993b). Supplementary material will be placed in MSA's depository, which is located online. Thus, an electronic copy of deposit information, figures, and tables is required. See Deposit Information section below for details. Tables may form part or all of the appendix material. Appendix tables will appear exactly as the author prepared them. Since deposit material is supposed to last for a long time, using plain txt, PDF, or other "universal" format is advised; but any format is accepted. VII. FOOTNOTES Footnotes, except those in tables, are discouraged; usually the material can be skillfully incorporated in the text (or included in a parenthetical statement offset by parentheses or brackets as appropriate). Nevertheless, certain material does require a footnote; examples include present addresses, directions for obtaining depository materials (hosted by MSA), computer programs, disclaimers regarding commercial product use by governmental agencies, etc. All footnotes should be indicated by a superscript number except those for present addresses, which carry an asterisk (or other appropriate symbol as described for Tables). All footnotes should be double spaced. VIII. DEPOSITORY ITEMS Please put these items in a separate file, one for each deposit item. This material will be added to the web site. Formats such as txt, Word, PDF, or html documents are strongly preferred; ASCII, Excel, and other files are acceptable. The material can be ftp-ed to the server; contact the managing editor for more information. Tables, figures, and supplementary data may be deposited at the Society's web site and do not have to comply with the official Am Min style guidelines. The material is made available on the journal web site and may consist of color images or Quicktime movies in addition to tables, figures, and text. Contact the managing editor for instructions regarding special format files or for transmitting the files by ftp. Q3. What are the guidelines for Tables and Figures? A3(i). Tables First and most important, we must have your tables in an electronic (editable) format! Ideally that format is Microsoft Word or Excel, but we'll even take txt or ascii to keep re-keying to a minimum. If you use Word's automatic "table" feature or a spreadsheet with individual cells, do not enter an entire list of data into one cell. That will necessitate re-keying data when we go to layout. Be sure the data reads from left to right, with one value per cell. For example, tables that have a whole column of data in one "cell" block does not work in the layout process. The cells should read left to right; or simply separate data with tabs and lines by hard returns. The table submitted for review should be double spaced if it is short, but not if it is very long. No particular typescript width or style of type is required, because we reformat everything during layout. A current issue of the journal will provide examples of approaches to complex tables. Table titles should be brief. The column headings have any appropriate units (in parentheses). Any headings that occur within the body and apply to a block of data should be centered. Footnotes end with periods. You do not need to actually insert the rules because we do that here, although your hard copy would probably be clearer if you do use the basic top and bottom rules. See a recent issue of the journal for examples of tables. No vertical or diagonal rules may be used in tables. Column headings must be upright, not turned sideways. Brackets to delineate groups of data may be used only if necessary; the groups should be clearly marked on the manuscript copy! There are no horizontal rules in the body of the table to separate sections, please use white space instead. Footnote symbols are used to explain or expand upon data in the table. Put any general notes before the first footnote symbol (preceded by "Note(s):"). Am Min style is to use superscript lowercase letters in alphabetical order, as follows (superscript) a,b,c,... They may be doubled and tripled as necessary, but that should be rare since you have 26 letters to start from! There are two goals: getting the paper peer reviewed and then, if accepted, getting the figures to print very nicely. Following are some suggestions about figure appearance and technical specifications, as well as figure captions. Overview.In the web-based submission system, figures uploaded for peer review and editing may (or may not) be of print quality. If and when your paper is accepted and gets sent to Production, then we work one-by-one with authors on figures and if needed provide FTP instructions to quickly transmit files of any size to us directly.Details about specific dpi are below. If the artwork was submitted as a part of the manuscript file, in Word for example, then .tif or .pdf files will be requested if available. It might be possible for us to create workable art here in the Production office, but that is not preferred. Worst case scenario: the author might need to be prepared to mail us sharp, dark, neat, clean hardcopies. We attempt to avoid these last two possibilities if we can as they create more work for everyone. Do not worry about this procedure unless it is needed. Note that TEM artwork needs special care because of the fine detail and repeating patterns that are difficult to capture on paper with ink in printing. Please use high-resolution images. If accepted, the proofs should be a guideline as to what authors will see and you can re-supply at that point if need be. I. SUBMITTING ARTWORK FOR REVIEW Copyright Permissions: All figures (tables, video, anything) requiring permission ought to have its copyright information acknowledged in the caption of that figure/table (even if the permission granted is pending this step). Use the following format: [Used by permission of Publishing Company, from Rambo and Pinko (20XX), Journal, vol. x, Fig. Y, p. z.] A copy of the copyright permission letter is due to the Editorial office as soon as your paper is accepted (or when the letter is obtained, if after acceptance). Failure to send us this letter will delay publication of your article. Figure information: Formats that can be uploaded for Figure file types are .tif, .eps, .jpg, and .pdf. If your artwork is in a Word file (.doc) then either put it at the end of the manuscript file, or upload another article file type and give it a title of Figures x-y. In general, .doc art will work for peer review. It will NOT for print/web versions of accepted papers. Be prepared to send high-quality art if accepted! Large file sizes might take more than 10 minutes to transmit or might take more than a few minutes to convert to the PDF automatic format. You can use LZW compression on Tiff images to reduce file size. If you need help, please contact the editorial office and include your system information including what computer, OS, program(s), and version(s) you are using. Most reviewers will view your figures on the screen so a lower resolution image may work at that time. Remember, you should be able to use other programs or tabs, while the system is converting and merging your figure files. Do not contact the editorial office about how long your file conversion is taking unless it has exceeded 12 hours. II. FIGURE CAPTIONS Figure captions should be brief and explanatory; they should not duplicate information in the figure. Each caption begins with a paragraph indentation and the whole word "Figure" followed by the figure number and a period, i.e., "Figure 1." Multiple parts of figures should be indicated by lowercase letters (a) and (b), (left) and (right), or (upper) and (lower). Note: If letter designations are used for the parts, the figures should actually be labeled with those letters. Items labeled within the figure should use capital letters A, B, C, and so on to key them to the meaning in the caption or in a legend within the figure. Labels and text in the figures must be consistent with the manuscript AND follow Am Min style. Please note our abbreviation style in figures; especially wt% for weight percent, T for temperature, and P for pressure. Close up % symbols to the number: 10%. III. ELECTRONIC ART REQUIREMENTS Note that there are 3 types of figures: plain line art, photographs, and combination art (a mixture of photographic and line art elements). Ideal resolutions for Raster art (.tif): 1200 ppi/dpi for line art; 300 to 600 ppi/dpi for grayscale (shaded) art; 300 ppi/dpi for grayscale-photographic and color artwork. While PDFs and .eps artwork are vector (meaning they expand/contract and keep their set resolution), they will still have too low a resolution if low-resolution raster images are embedded inside. For accepted papers, to prepare for print/web, we prefer .tif and .pdf files, although .eps files are fine, too. Click here for the full guide to figures. Q4. Is Crystallographic data required for my paper? A4. CIF requirement for crystal structure refinements The CIF (crystallographic information file) format is the de facto standard for communicating all sorts of crystallographic information. In particular it is used to archive crystal structure data, combined with experimental and refinement details.
Manuscripts reporting results of crystal structure refinements must be accompanied by a CIF providing the structural data. To ensure quality and integrity of the crystallographic data, the submitted CIF will be reviewed by the American Mineralogist technical editing team. After publication of the manuscript, the CIFs will be made available as supplementary material on the American Mineralogist webpages. They may also be deposited into databases, such as the AMCSD (American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database) and the COD (Crystallography Open Database).
Only one CIF should be submitted with a manuscript. If more than one structure refinement is reported in a manuscript, each structure refinement must be a separate data block in the CIF. Do not compress or otherwise modify the CIF for submission. The filename extension must be '.cif'.
Detailed information about cif requirements for manuscripts submitted to American Mineralogist, help and advice, are here.
A5. Mineral names and abbreviations. Use a consistent set of mineral abbreviations throughout text, tables, and figures. Abbreviations are recommended for subscripts, superscripts, reactions, assemblages (connected with plus signs), and normative mineral symbols with subscript weight percentages; however, abbreviations should not be used for mineral names that stand alone in the text. Whitney and Evans (2010) has recently suggested a set of abbreviations that may be used. However, you may choose another consistent set. Mineral nomenclature. New mineral names and redefinitions of existing names must be approved by the Commission on New Minerals Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) (Fleischer 1970) before publication. For this purpose, consult the published reports of the Commission on New Minerals Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). The MSA website hosts many of the IMA Reports. A Special Note About Nomenclature: Remember it is the author's responsibility to make sure the text, tables and other materials consistently follow the nomenclature recommended by the IMA. Reports detailing the CMNNC approved style for nomenclature for minerals and mineral groups are available. New mineral names. Authors must provide the Editorial Office with evidence of IMA approval of any new mineral names. Whenever naming new minerals, authors must conform to the rules and principles set forth in Nickel and Mandarino (1987) (excerpt, pdf, 180 K) or Nickel and Grice (1998) (pdf, 332 K). The paper by the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names (1982) should be consulted for a suggested outline for new mineral descriptions. The abstract of a new mineral description should completely list the properties of the mineral in a manner consistent with the "New Mineral Names" section of the journal. The paper by Nickel and Grice (1998) (pdf, 332 K) gives more information on procedures. Additional information is given by Dunn (1977). Naming of regular interstratifications of clay minerals is discussed by Bailey (1982). In general, manuscripts proposing new names for imperfectly or incompletely described minerals cannot be accepted. Obsolete, discredited, or superfluous mineral names may not be used. A helpful guide is Glossary of Mineral Species (Fleischer and Mandarino 1995). This glossary is taken as the standard for the spelling of mineral names. However, the editors now allow use of element symbols as prefixes to the approved name of a mineral (e.g., Mg-chlorite, K-feldspar). A list of discredited mineral names and examples of acceptable and unacceptable usages of mineral names appear in Nickel and Mandarino (1987) (excerpt, pdf, 180 K) and Nickel and Grice (1998) (pdf, 332 K). Meteorite nomenclature. New meteorite names must be approved by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society [Dr. A.L. Graham, Secretary, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD, U.K.]. Other meteorite names must conform to the spelling given in the Catalogue of Meteorites (4th edition) by Graham et al. (1985) or in subsequent numbers of the Meteoritical Bulletin (published in Meteoritics). Q6. How will I receive my page proofs? A6. Overview. Proofs are sent to authors via e-mail as PDF files and authors will need the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them. Authors can e-mail changes and corrections or print out hard copies to write on, then scan/e-mail, fax, or mail back. The electronic proofs system has greatly increased the speed of publication time and improved communication with authors. Changes in proofs. Changes made at the page-proof stage are time consuming, expensive, and are logically discouraged. An author who makes extensive changes in text (such as rewriting passages or changing data on tables) may be billed for all lines that must be reset and all additional lines in the paragraph that must be reset as a result of the additions or deletions. Any changes to data in Tables or to Equations in the text will be cleared with the Editor. Re-doing of figures because of an author's changes can also be charged to the author. However, there is no charge for answering Editor queries or correcting scientific mistakes. Returning page proofs. Authors will be advised of the time frame in which page proofs are due to arrive when their manuscript is accepted. If they expect to be away during that time, it is their responsibility to provide the Editorial Office with an alternative e-mail address, if necessary, to which the page proofs may be sent or to make other arrangements for the proofs to be checked and returned. Authors have 5 business days from the date the proofs arrive to return them to the Editorial Office. All proof procedures are explained with the proof. Q7. What's the deal with page charges and reprints/offprints? A7. PAGE CHARGES AND REPRINTS Authors are requested to pay page charges of $75 per printed page (subject to change), although current publication costs are about $250/page, considerably higher than the requested amount. Payment of page charges is not a condition of acceptance for manuscript publication; however, MSA depends largely on the revenue generated from page charges and reprint orders to keep journal subscription costs low. For this reason, authors are asked to make every effort to obtain funds for page charges or reprints from their granting agency or institution. Authors who pay $75 per typeset page will receive up to 100 offprints and an "e-link" of their paper with this option if desired. Authors can also purchase additional offprints and covers. (An "e-link" is a url code you can e-mail or post on a website that allows anyone access to the full text of your paper on GeoScienceWorld with no expiration.) Authors may also order offprints, without paying page charges, if funds do not allow. If the first author is an MSA member (join here), but cannot pay page charges or order offprints, they are eligible for a complementary "e-link" as a member benefit. Orders shipped to non-U.S. addresses are by surface delivery at no extra charge; airmail first class service for faster service costs extra. Agreed upon figure related costs (full color and online color) can also be addressed on the offprint/page charge form. Authors of memorials, review papers, and official MSA presentations are exempt from page charges, but may opt to receive complementary reprints and/or the "e-link" of their paper. The page charge/offprint form with the page-charge order and billing instructions is now available on the web. Please do not fill out the form until you have your page proofs (and hence know your issue info and number of pages of your article). The form must be processed by the MSA Business Office at the same time page proofs are returned to the Editorial Office; any purchase order forms required by the author's institution may be sent at a later time to the MSA Business Office, 3635 Concorde Parkway, Suite 500, Chantilly, VA 20151-1125. Q8. Does American Mineralogist offer "Open Access" or Open Archive publication? A8. MSA can provide Open Access (all readers can read the article at no charge) to your article posted on the MSA and GeoScienceWorld web sites for a mandatory (pre-paid) fee of $250 per typeset page. Open access (manuscript processing fees) help reduce the subscription costs to libraries. Open access, free supplementary data repository, preprints, reprints, and e-links are all available -- we have the full array of the latest publishing options to help you comply with your funding agency's requirements.

Retrieving note data from the arpeggiator
I reckon everyone who has ever used the RPG has run into this at some point. You hit a few notes on the arpeggiator and spend ages jamming with it and then when you press stop you can't remember which notes you played. Sound familiar?
It would be great if the RPG8 could hold the notes in memory somehow, or at least let you somehow retrieve them. Most people who mess with arps probably aren't paying too much attention to which notes they are triggering, they are probably listening to the results. |

According to The Denver Post, Keith Burns is about to become the newest member of the Broncos' coaching staff.
The Post reports that Burns, the club's longtime special-teams captain, will retire and transition from the ground-floor locker room to the second-floor coaches' wing in an assistant special-teams coaching slot. The team already has a pair of assistant special-teams coaches in Ryan Slowik and Jimmy Spencer, with new special-teams coordinator Scott O'Brien overseeing the unit.
Burns had been an unrestricted free agent the past three and a half weeks.
"I think Keith is going to make a great coach," Head Coach Mike Shanahan told the Post.
What do you think of the reported move? Sound off below.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec.
The balanced 2007 growing season allowed for even ripening throughout each of our Cabernet vineyards. Early in the fermentation the berries revealed concentrated fruit forward flavors and excellent color indicating the high quality of the 2007 vintage.
The wine is deeply pigmented and has aromatics of perfectly ripe blackberries, plum, notes of dark chocolate, licorice and spice. The palate is refined and has exceptional texture and length.
"Firm, intense, concentrated and well-structured, with tight dried currant, cedar, dried herb and sage flavors. Full-bodied, gaining depth and range on the finish before the tannins take hold. Best from 2011 through 2020." 91 Points Wine Spectator
"The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (20,000 cases produced) may be the finest regular cuvee produced here in nearly two decades. Its dense ruby/purple hue is followed by an opulent bouquet of cassis, blue fruits, crushed rocks, and floral undertones. Pure, juicy, deep, medium to full-bodied, and loaded, this 2007 should drink beautifully young, yet keep for 15-20+ years" 91 Points The Wine Advocate
"Good deep ruby-red. Sweet, open aromas of ripe plum and currant complemented by chocolatey oak. In a fat, lush style, showing the sweetness of the vintage in spades. Not a particularly gripping wine but one that should give considerable early pleasure. The substantial tannins are dusty and fine." 91 Points International Wine Cellar
Joseph Phelps Vineyards is a family-owned winery committed to crafting world class, estate-grown wines. Founded in 1973 when Joe Phelps purchased a former cattle ranch near St. Helena in the Napa Valley, the winery now controls and farms nearly 375 acres of vines on eight estate vineyards in St. Helena, the Stags Leap District, Oakville, Rutherford, Oak Knoll District, Carneros...Read More About Joseph Phelps
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

In my last post, I highlighted several of the many prints in the Brooklyn Museum's collection that, like those now on view in the Käthe Kollwitz exhibition in the Herstory Gallery of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, were made in response to the horrors of World War I. In this second post, I want to consider a few works by Georg Grosz (German, 1893-1959) and Otto Dix (German, 1891-1960), both of whom volunteered to fight for their country in World War I, influenced in part by national propaganda or leftist dreams that the war would finally and spectacularly doom monarchy and bourgeoisie materialism.
Cynicism and disillusionment with the government and militarism permeates the work of George Grosz, an incisive caricaturist, satirist, and one of the most influential graphic artists to be associated with Expressionism, New Objectivity, and Dada. An ardent communist and supporter of the working class, Grosz expressed his disdain for the right wing capitalist and military ruling classes in a caustic portfolio of lithographs he made after WWI ironically titled God With Us after the nationalistic motto inscribed on every German soldier's belt buckle. The print For German Right and German Morals (German Soldiers to the Front) (55.165.143) presents five brutish, malevolent, and corrupt specimens of the German military; the squat and thuggish officer in the center, whose holster makes obvious reference to his genitals, crushes a flower under his boot.
And in The Communists Fall and Foreign Exchange Rises (Blood is the Best Sauce)(X1041), another repulsive officer enjoys a genteel meal with a bloated war profiteer, one carving his meat and the other delicately dabbing at a stain on his shirt, while behind them a mob of vicious soldiers wield their bayonets to kill unarmed workers. Grosz based some of these lithographs on drawings he made while a patient in a mental hospital during the war, claiming he wanted to retain "everything that was laughable and grotesque in my environment." When Grosz exhibited the portfolio at the First International Dada Fair in Berlin in 1920, he was accused, tried, and found guilty of defaming the military. Like Max Beckmann, Grosz would immigrate to the United States, arriving in New York in 1933.
Otto Dix noted that "War was something horrible, but nonetheless something powerful…Under no circumstances could I miss it!" But the epic destruction and trauma of modern mechanical warfare and its aftermath was soon made starkly apparent to him.
After the war, Germany's streets were filled with one and a half million wounded and crippled soldiers. Dix, who fought as a machine gunner on the Western Front, depicts three such figures in his print Card Players (55.165.66). Here, the war's capacity for bodily devastation and disintegration is sharply delineated: a mechanical jaw and hand, a patch covering a missing nose, an unseeing glass eye, an ear tube emerging directly from a misshapen skull. Between the three men there is only a single shirt-sleeved and cuff-linked leg; like the other soldier's mouth it has been repurposed to hold cards. The other prosthetic "legs" and the contraption supporting the torso of the figure on the left are nearly indistinguishable from the chair and table legs. These figures play cards (and smoke cigars!) like they may have done before the war, but in this image of truncated, mechanized men, Dix shows how the war machine remade the world in its own image.

Not all driving schools are the same.
As a future driver or parent of a future driver, you understand just how important it is to find a driving school that is safe, uses MVA-certified instructors, and offers relevant classes.

Elite Driving School has been operating for the past 22 years with the same mission: to provide our students with the best possible chance for staying safe on the roads. Elite is one of a select few schools in the country that is part of the American Automotive Association (AAA) Approved Driving School Network. We have over 20 MVA-certified instructors that teach our students in one of six Toyotas, all of which are up to date with preventative maintenance and yearly inspections. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 12 Pm to 6:30 Pm.

U.S. News Rankings
Ranking score and category | |||||
George Mason University is a public institution that was founded in 1972. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 20,653, its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 817 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. George Mason University's ranking in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, 141. Its in-state tuition and fees are $9,908 (2013-14); out-of-state tuition and fees are $28,592 (2013-14).
As a distributed university, George Mason University has several suburban campus locations, each not far from Washington, D.C. Freshmen are not required to live on campus, though traditional coed residence halls and suites are available at the school's Fairfax, Va., campus for those who choose to live in university housing.
Despite a sizable commuter population, the school offers a Weekends at Mason program and events for students who don't travel home after the school week is over. There are more than 20 fraternities and sororities, which involve close to 15 percent of the student body population, and about 200 clubs and organizations. The school's Patriots sports teams are members of the NCAA Division I Colonial Athletic Association, and the George Mason basketball team is particularly competitive. The university also has a number of graduate schools and programs, including the well-regarded George Mason School of Law.
School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school): | |
George Mason University is much more than a traditional, four-year university for students 18-22 years-old. In fact, since its founding in 1972, George Mason has pioneered a new model for the modern public American university, addressing many of the challenges facing higher education today. At Mason, students come first. Mason's top priority is to provide students with transformational learning experiences that help them grow as individuals, scholars, and professionals. Mason at its core is innovative, diverse, entrepreneurial, and accessible. Mason is committed to being a university for the world, a place where we work across cultures, bringing new perspectives and solutions to the world's most pressing problems and preparing our students to navigate in the world. Mason is innovative: we question current thinking and try new ideas. We honor time-tested academic principles while striving to create new forms of education that serve our students better and new paths of research that can uncover solutions to the world's greatest challenges. Mason professors conduct groundbreaking research in areas such as cancer, climate change, international policy and politics, national and international security, the biosciences, and computer game design. Our professors are well-known leaders in their fields who routinely welcome undergraduates to actively participate in their research. Mason is diverse: we bring together a multitude of people and ideas in everything that we do. Our culture of inclusion, our multidisciplinary approach, and our global perspective make us more effective educators and scholars. Mason has programs in more than 30 countries, with reciprocal relationships with universities in Russia, Korea, China, and Germany. Mason's undergraduates come from all 50 states and 125 countries. Mason is entrepreneurial: we put ideas into action. We educate students to create as well as carry out jobs; become agents of positive change; and add value through government or business, for profit or nonprofit organizations, academia or the arts. We pursue discoveries that can make a difference in the world, and help our community thrive socially, economically, and culturally. And Mason is accessible: we are an open and welcoming community that partners with public and private organizations in our region and around the world. Mason students have opportunities to advance their careers both inside and outside the classroom, including internships at nationally and internationally recognized companies and organizations ranging from National Geographic to the White House. Work and internship opportunities run the gamut: foreign embassies, wildlife preserves, network news programs, global IT organizations. Through a first-of-its-kind partnership with the Smithsonian, Mason offers students the chance to spend a semester at one of the most advanced conservation research centers in the world, and complete a minor in applied conservation studies in just that one semester. Mason occupies a unique position in the higher education marketplace. With strong undergraduate and graduate degree programs, Mason students are routinely recognized with national and international scholarships and awards. Every day, Mason students can be found lobbying Congress on educational issues, pioneering outreach programs for disadvantaged children, or collecting oral histories in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The prospects of internships, research, and employment here are unmatched anywhere else. Many Mason graduates continue employment at places where they interned; 70% of alumni remain in the area to take advantage of the outstanding job market. A George Mason University education is an excellent investment: students who earn a bachelor's degree receive the highest starting salary of all public schools in Virginia. In addition, Mason students earn the highest median annual wages of all Virginia four-year degree institutions. |

FYI: OMG And LOL Are Now In The Oxford English Dictionary
By Mark Memmott
TMI was already in. So was BFF.
Now there's word from the learned folks at the Oxford English Dictionary that they're adding OMG and LOL to the "initialisms" in their book.
What seems surprising to us, though, is that "wassup" is just now being added. When was the last time you heard someone use it? Wassup with that?
And yes, we realize that passing along news like probably means we're part of the lumpenintelligentsia. Copyright 2011 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
