"When I graduate, where will I work?" "What if I can't find a job?" "What if no one will hire me because I lack experience?" "Did I pick the wrong major?" "Should I attend graduate school?" "Is graduate school a waste of time and money?"
I apologize if I gave you a minor panic attack but these are questions that weigh on most students as they contemplate their lives after college. If you find these concerns are on your mind on a daily basis, you could be having a quarter-life crisis, which, according to a recent USA Today article, is when 20-somethings have anxiety because they question the direction and quality of their lives. Frankly, however, this anxiety is a waste of valuable time and energy so let's do some crisis management, shall we?
Firstly, recognize that you have only lived one quarter of your life – you still (hopefully) have three quarters to go, which means that some decisions you make now will not affect your future as much as you think they will. We are ever changing and the interests we have now may not hold true in a few years.
Secondly, let go of how others measure success and measure success on your own terms. Joining new clubs and organizations or becoming involved in an alternative spring break are ways you can find contentment and purpose.
Lastly, talk to someone! If the anxiety is constantly weighing on you, you may want to consult a parent or teacher who has more life experience than you. Remembering that you're not alone and finding someone who has been in your shoes and has moved past the anxiety you're feeling will help you get through your rough patch.

Recently, the federal government came out with a proposed plan to encourage academic excellence in college and linking it to federal aid.
Linking financial aid to academic performance? Wasn't this already a thing? I mean, really? I completely understand where they're coming from – I can't slip below a 3.0 or I risk losing scholarships – and would have thought the federal government would be on a similar page. OK, so maybe that's a bit harsh and I'm not saying that the minimum GPA would have to be a 3.0 but having some minimums on grading is something I fully support the federal government doing. I mean, if they view college students as the future, then they are investing in America's future...and they're probably going to want to emerge at the other end having viewed that investment as a smart idea. I know I've seen my fair share of people getting by without incentive to succeed but if your money and future were on the line, you'd see drastically different outcomes. And in the long run, I think we'd appreciate it: Better grades = better GPA = better skills = better jobs. (Or at least in simple terms, that's how it would go.)
There is, however, the other side of the argument: In the same way that I believe high schools are pushed to be teaching to a test and not to the things we really need to learn (let alone the fact that ALL PEOPLE learn differently but standardized testing pushes a one-way system), I believe a federal system for weighing academic merit could descend into standardized tests for college professors. To be able to hold all college students to federal standards, the government would have to, right? THAT I cannot agree with.
The proposed plan also proposes a heavier focus on online classes. You can read my previous post about online textbooks but would a federal push for online classes devalue the classroom? All I know is that I'd need more details before they could sell me on some of this. But allocating more money to those doing well in school and less or none to those who don't take it seriously or do well? I can see that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a 2.5 GPA or anything like that, but if you have a 0.5 and you are receiving federal aid, that's a problem.
What do you think about the proposed federal plan?

Exams lurk in college classrooms and quizzes have been known to (literally) pop out of nowhere! The question is: Will you be ready for them? Professors know that every student has time to study no matter what and as a college student, list-making, planner-investing and avoiding distractions has helped me improved my study skills when exams and quizzes draw near. Need help prioritizing your study time? Take note!
Homework will come at you like angry bees before you know it so take the time to determine what you need to work on, which papers are due when and what needs to be turned in. If you like going digital, make a list on your phone and/or tablet.
To-do lists are essential but what would make them easier to remember and complete is a planner. Planners aren't hard to find – most retail stores sell them for between $3 and $20 depending on the brand and style – but if you want to save money, consider the fact that some mobile devices like tablets and cell phones have planners just by using the calendar feature.
Although we're in the digital age, digital mobile devices can be both allies and adversaries. Try to limit the use of cell phones, social media and other distractions while catching up on homework or when studying for a test. If you cut out the distractions during study time, you're more likely to focus more on the course content.
The main focus in college is supposed to be academics. By taking extra steps in prioritizing your study habits, you'll be on the right path to success.

New college grads may face an especially tough time due to the recession. The growth in anticipated new hires, which is measured twice a year by The National Association of Colleges and Employers, has been slowing since it reached a high in spring 2007, falling almost flat in the fall. The numbers for spring 2009 show that for the first time in years, businesses actually anticipate hiring fewer college graduates this year than last--22 percent fewer, in fact. According to The Boston Globe, the business and finance sectors have an even bleaker outlook, as does the northeastern region of the United States.
With this dim hiring picture in mind, soon-to-be college graduates are looking at alternatives to the traditional workforce. Additional education, teaching fellowship programs, and volunteer work are all proving popular. If you're a college student staring graduation in the face, keep in mind the increased competition and start researching and applying sooner, rather than later.
Graduate programs, including ones offered by business schools, are seeing increased enrollment as many students choose to either delay their entry into the workforce or push up their long-term plans to attend graduate school. Graduate students can potentially land full-tuition fellowships or assistantships, as well as generous scholarship awards. Many graduate degrees can help recipients become more competitive when they do enter the workforce, even if the economy does not recover substantially.
Similarly, teacher certification programs, such as the popular Teach for America, are seeing an increase in applicants. These programs offer a stipend, as well as teacher certification, and in some cases a master's degree in education, in exchange for a commitment of one or two years teaching in a low-income school or a high-need subject. Other programs exist with similar benefits, including teaching fellowships in several major cities such as New York and Chicago. College students or recent grads who want to teach but don't want to pay for more school may want to consider these options.
Other volunteer programs, like AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, also are seeing more applicants. Such programs often come with a stipend or living allowance, as well as student loan deferments or even loan cancelation or repayment benefits. Students can also participate in many of these programs while still in college or while pursuing graduate degrees. If you're interested in an alternative to the post-collegiate rat race, there's no time like the present to start considering your options.

A bill to expand AmeriCorps and create new community service opportunities has passed the House of Representatives. The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education, or GIVE, Act passed today with bipartisan support in the House, and a similar bill, named the Serve America Act, has also been approved by the Senate education committee. It will move to the Senate floor early next week, where it is expected to be met with a similar level of enthusiasm. National service has been a priority of the Obama administration, so expect to see opportunities for community service expand shortly.
Over the course of five years, the bill will appropriate $6 billion to AmeriCorps, increasing positions from 75,000 to 250,000 and also increasing education stipends to $5,350--the same dollar amount as Federal Pell Grants. The GIVE Act also includes provisions to encourage middle school students to volunteer, as well as funding to increase volunteerism on college campuses. The GIVE Act will create volunteer programs focused on issues that have become major priorities in recent years, such as education and healthcare.
This legislation is heralded as the largest expansion in national service since the Kennedy administration. While AmeriCorps and other volunteer programs pay far less than a full-time job, many students have been showing increased interest in them due to the education stipends and living allowances they provide, as well as the opportunities for service and unique experiences volunteers gain. People serving full-time in positions affiliated with AmeriCorps or other programs also qualify for a new federal loan forgiveness program, which forgives Stafford loan debt for public service employees after ten years.
April 22, 2009
Yesterday, President Obama signed into law a bill to expand Americorps, a national service program that provides small stipends to people of all ages engaged in volunteer work throughout the country. The act, officially known as the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, paves the way for Americorps to grow in size from its present 75,000 volunteers to as many as 250,000 volunteers by 2017.
In addition to creating more volunteer positions, the Serve America Act will also increase the education stipend for volunteers to $5,350, the same amount as Federal Pell Grants. This will enable more recent graduates and people currently attending college to participate in Americorps programs, which are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to employment in the current economy.
The national service bill, sponsored by Senator Kennedy, quickly made its way through both houses of Congress, receiving bipartisan support, as well as a ringing endorsement from President Obama, who has long been a proponent of community service. Congress still needs to find funding for Americorps to begin to expand, but a provision to provide an immediate 25% increase in funding to the program was included in Obama's 2010 budget proposal.

=== 49ers' Smith to sit Monday against Chicago === San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith won't play Monday against the Chicago Bears as he continues to recover from a concussion. Smith was hurt last Sunday against St. Louis when he took a hit to the neck area and had been listed as questionable on the team's injury report after being a limited participant in practice this week. The 49ers updated Smith's status Monday and said he was not medically cleared to play. "Alex Smith has been declared out for this evening's game after being evaluated by team medical director Dr. Dan Garza," the team said in a statement. Colin Kaepernick will start Monday against the Bears in a what will be a battle of backups, as Jason Campbell will start at quarterback for Chicago while Jay Cutler also recovers from a concussion sustained last week. 11/19 14:07:57 ET

I will be laying wood in two separate rooms using the ECO95 as my adhesive /moisture barrier, the first room is small & I will have mrs adhesive than I need. How long does an opened bucket last & how do I store the unused portion so that it does not harden, It may be as long as 2-34weeks before I am ready to use the remained.1 answer
You can prevent the glue from drying up by using a layer of plastic put directly on the surface of the glue in the bucket (should keep for about a month). This is a moisture cured urethane adhesive so sealing the lid tightly is important.Q:
I'm installing engineered hardwood flooring, I pulled up the old VCT tile from the concrete. Before I use Ultrabond ECO 995, do I need to float the floor or can I use Ultrabond ECO 995 over the old glue? (the floor is level)1 answer
Adhesives require that all old adhesives be completely mechanically removed with a floor scraper or adhesives will fail. Options are float according to flooring manufacturer instructions, lay a plywood subfloor, or use our "Elastilon" as your installation system.Q:
(Elastilon Self Adhesive Underlayment SKU: 10002503) can this product be used as a seal and glue down this self adhering underlayment to concrete (to remove the floating)or would your concrete seal be better and float the floor?1 answer
Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
How many square feet of engineered wood flooring does a 5 gallon bucket of ECO 995 cover?1 answer
Approximately 30 - 40 square feet a gallon. Thank you for your inquiryQ:
Can Eco 995 be used on a wood subfloor?1 answer
No it is not recommended. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
Do you have info on MSDS or VOC emissions?1 answer
Yes; type, "Mapei MSDS" here - http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/flooring/Flooring101Q:
What trowel size would you use for the 995 gluing down 3/4 solid hardwood over concrete, and what is the square ft. per 5 gal with that trowel?1 answer
Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
HI, Im trying to find out if I need to use a MVP prior to glue down. We have concrete floors. I originally had bruce hardwood floors installed in 1996, recently had flood damage and the floors had to be pulled up along with an abatement team to come in and do there thing. Now we are being told that we don't need MVP since its concrete and the floors will be hardwood and then other installers are saying that we do. Please help. Which products would be better ? 700 sq ft area and how much would we need. Any 2/1 products if mvp is needed?1 answer
Troweled on Moisture Barrier is recommended if subfloor is on or below grade concrete. Always use the same manufacturer of moisture barrier and adhesive or combo type adhesive moisture barrier such as this MAPEI 2 in 1 Moisture Control & Adhesive.Q:
can we use this product to glue down vinyl tiles on concrete slab ?1 answer

Eco 995 moisture barrier or whatever you carry. I have an existing cement floor that I would like to cover with laminate engineered flooring. The floor has a slope as it was once a patio, now enclosed.

Lincoln (2012) Review
A movie review article by: Danny Djeljosevic
Boy, this has been the year of Lincoln, hasn't it? So far I've taken it upon myself to review three major Lincoln-related works in 2012: Noah Van Sciver's somber, wonderful The Hypo, the weirdly sincere but not particularly good Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and now Steven Spielberg's take on the final months of the 16th US President, titled simply Lincoln, one of the bigger cinematic surprises of the year.
Not that you'd be able to tell at first -- Lincoln opens on a dismal, downright Capraesque scene that climaxes with Union soldiers taking turns reciting the Gettysburg Address to old Honest Abe himself while the music swells and we're supposed to feel something despite the movie being only five minutes in. It's exactly the kind of scene from the Abraham Lincoln movie we always worried/expected Spielberg to make -- a cloying groaner of a moment in what would have been a sweeping, triumphant life story of Lincoln from log cabin to fatal head injury that would further deify a guy who's already been on money for 103 years.
But that's not the movie Spielberg made. Instead, he's gone and made something quite terrific and unexpected.
Using Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln as a basis for the proceedings, Spielberg enlists Tony Kushner -- who did Angels in America and Spielberg's best non-adventure film, Munich -- to script only the final four months of Lincoln's life, focusing on the President's efforts to abolish slavery as the Civil War rages on. Grade school teaches us that Lincoln dropped the Emancipation Proclamation and suddenly the entire Confederate Army burst into flames and then all the newly freed slaves frolicked across the battlefields over the smoldering skeletons of Southern gentlemen. In reality, Lincoln used his "war powers" to declare all slaves free with the Proclamation, but the Thirteenth Amendment actually made slavery illegal in the United States.
The efforts in getting the Thirteenth Amendment passed are the focus of Lincoln, which turns the film into a political drama with more in common with The West Wing than Spielberg's own Amistad -- it's a story about the political machinations required to pass legislation that deals with such a major and (at the time) hotly contested issue as slavery.
It's through those machinations that Lincoln shines. More than The West Wing, Lincoln is like a period piece written by Armando Iannucci, where getting anything done in politics is frustrating, full of compromises and stubborn personalities and thus appears, for the most part completely futile as, in this film's case, abolition is considered what contemporaneous folk would call a "folly" and the key to getting other politicians on your side is to concede to ideas you don't even necessarily believe in. More to the Iannucci point, the politicking is also hysterical, as Kushner scripts a lot of snappy, gripping dialogue and glorious insults delivered in mid-1800s speak. If you loved the repartee in the Coens' True Grit as much as I did, Lincoln will prove a pornographic experience.
Dramatizing this process involves an army of character actors to play myriad Representatives and Lincoln administration cabinet members, and as a result Lincoln boasts one of the strongest casts in memory, with all manners of entertaining adult white men coming out of the woodwork to period piece their asses off. The MVP of Lincoln is most certainly Tommy Lee Jones as the staunch egalitarian congressman Thaddeus Stevens, whose wit is as sharp as his wig is obvious, while Sally Field does an amazing job as Mary Todd Lincoln that will certainly go unappreciated considering the circumstances. The most fun scenes go to James Spader, John Hawkes and Tim Blake Nelson as the trio of men enlisted to do some underhanded politicking (read: bribes) to make sure pivotal members of the opposing party vote "yea."
And if that wasn't enough, we have:
· David Straithairn as William Seward, Lincoln's steadfast Secretary of State/straight man
· Lee Pace as the biggest dick in Congress, one of the few grown men without facial hair
· Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Lincoln's oldest son, ignored by his father but banned from enlisting, to his chagrin
· Walton Goggins as a spineless bumpkin congressman
· Jared Harris as U.S. Grant -- a shock to those of us who know him best from Mad Men
Okay, now that that's out of the way, we can talk about Daniel Day-Lewis*, whose performance as Abraham Lincoln will sweep awards season. And I don't mean that in a cynical way -- I mean that this is an astonishing performance from someone who's already achieved Greatest Living Actor status. What known method actor Day-Lewis does as Lincoln goes beyond acting -- he becomes Abraham Lincoln in such a way that the thought never, ever occurs that this is the same guy who played Daniel Plainview and My Left Foot.
And his Lincoln is unconventional compared to typical representations of him -- hardly the deep-voiced Illinois Moses we'd expect, this Abraham Lincoln is a gangly, loveable dork with a weird voice, a magnetic personality and a tendency for delivering long, metaphorical anecdotes whenever a situation calls for it. It's such an oddly specific performance that it's easily and even tempting to believe that that's how Lincoln was. This is going to prove a defining portrayal of the man.
This is a Steven Spielberg movie, but Lincoln finds him in "Ron Howard making Frost/Nixon" mode where the script and the performances carry the rest of the film, allowing Spielberg to play puppeteer rather than intrude on the film with needless flashiness or other indulgences. With cinematographer Janusz Kaminski and editor Michael Kahn, the trio tread lightly on the film, opting for lots of wide master shots of scenes with minimal cuts. This is the sort of film where the performances are crucial -- not just line delivery but reactions -- that rendering conversations shot-reverse-shot would ruin the whole thing.
That said, Lincoln is unmistakably Spielberg, and the man is above all else a moviemaker, so we have a film that toils for you to not feel its 150 minute runtime. While Kushner is credited with the script, it's hard not to see James Spader dodging gunshots from devoted anti-abolitionist congressmen and not think of stuff like Harpo falling through roofs in The Color Purple (which is decidedly not a comedy) or any time something goes hilariously wrong for Indiana Jones (which is often). Spielberg is a master entertainer, and Lincoln really straddles the line between high-minded prestige picture and rousing flick without feeling like pandering.
In any other year Lincoln would be hands-down the best movie of the year, but this is 2012 and, as I've stated before, competition is fierce. Until hindsight sorts out the true classics from the chaff, Lincoln may have to settle for being merely a really great movie with a disgustingly tight script, an outstanding cast and a central performance that makes the word "definitive" seem like I'm putting it mildly.
*Had this film been made a couple years earlier like it was supposed to, we would have had Liam Neesons as Abraham Lincoln. While I like the guy, considering what we got, that would have been a very dark timeline indeed.

DPS emergency manager Roberts will stay on another six monthsBy The Associated Press
Related links
Gov. Rick Snyder said the state-appointed emergency manager for Detroit's public schools has decided to postpone his plans to step down by up to six months. Former General Motors Co. executive Roy Roberts had announced earlier this month that he would leave when his contract expired Thursday. Snyder said in a statement today that the decision to stay underscores Roberts' commitment to students, families and teachers. Roberts has guided the academically and financially struggling district since 2011. Both areas have shown limited improvement. Detroit's schools have been under state oversight since 2009. The district has lost more than 100,000 students and millions of dollars in per-pupil funding since 2000. Last year, some of the district's worst performing schools were transferred into a new, separately operated school system. Topics in this article: Detroit Public Schools

United States Senator
September 23, 2008
Thank you Chairman Leahy for conducting this hearing at this time. And I especially want to thank my colleague and my fellow senator from Pennsylvania, Senator Specter, with whom I've been very pleased to work on recommending their nominations to the White House. I think a bipartisan relationship as productive as ours is rare in this political environment and I appreciate it very much. I thank the Committee for inviting me here to introduce these nominees and express my strong support for the confirmation of all three to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Joel H. Slomsky has practiced law for 38 years as a federal and state prosecutor, criminal defense attorney, and sole practitioner, and currently practices law in Philadelphia. After graduating from New York Law School, Mr. Slomsky worked with the Criminal Division, Organized Crime Section with the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. and he then transferred to the Philadelphia Strike Force where he worked from 1971-1973.
Mr. Slomsky then moved into private practice, where he has handled civil and criminal matters in state and federal courts. He has also fulfilled his pro bono and public service obligations through contributions to legal education and legal services organizations in the Philadelphia community. He has accepted court appointments in criminal cases at reduced fees, and offered his services without court appointment for reduced fees to ensue that all defendants receive adequate representation in our judicial system. Mr. Slomsky's wife, Paula Beth Slomsky, serves as a clinical social worker and therapist at Northeast Philadelphia Community Center for Mental Health/Mental Retardation and is similarly devoted to the City of Philadelphia.
Mr. Slomsky has worked on a diverse array of civil and criminal matters, and has served in both the public and private sectors. His diverse background, strong legal skills, and ethical integrity makes him strongly qualified to serve as a federal district judge.
Judge Mitchell Steven Goldberg is a judge on the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, a position he has held since 2003. After graduating from Temple University's School of Law, he served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, a senior partner with the Philadelphia law firm of Cozen O'Connor, and an Assistant District Attorney for the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. He was also an Adjunct Professor in Trial Advocacy at Temple Law School. As a trial judge, he has presided over more than 70 jury trials, both civil and criminal in nature. He has handled Family Court cases, included protracted custody matters and complex equitable distribution cases. He is married to Helene Goldberg, a Financial Manager at Heartsine Inc., and they have two children.
His experience as an attorney in both the public and private sectors and his tenure as a judge with the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas should give the Senate great confidence that Judge Goldberg is well-qualified to serve on the federal bench.
While I am proud to support all three nominees, I am particularly happy to support Judge Jones' elevation to the federal judiciary. My father, Governor Casey, appointed Judge Jones to the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas in 1987. Judge Jones has risen through the ranks by virtue of his hard work and commitment to the rule of law. Pennsylvanians have twice voted to retain Judge Jones and in 2006, he was elected President Judge by his fellow judges on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. He is a highly respected voice of reason and the federal judicial system will be well-served by his presence on the federal bench.
In his 33 year legal career, Judge Jones has been a common pleas court judge, a state government attorney, a public defender, and a law professor. Prior to becoming a judge, he worked as an Office Assistant at the Citizens Crime Commission. Judge Jones practiced law at the Defender Association of Philadelphia, holding the positions of Chief of the Family Court Division, Assistant Chief of the Family Court Division, Special Defense Unit and Trial Attorney. Judge Jones became the Deputy Chief of the Family Court Division and the Chief of the Family Court Division, where he represented indigent juvenile defendants charged with criminal offenses.
Judge Jones, who is a graduate of The American University's Washington College of Law, has authored over 400 trial court opinions. It is not uncommon for him to preside over five bench trials per day, for three weeks per month. As a result, Judge Jones issues opinions on a constant basis. During his 21 years on the bench, appellate courts have rarely overturned his rulgins.
Judge Jones and his wife Evelyn Antonia Jones, formerly Evelyn Antonia Williams, who works in the Capital Habeas Unit of the Defender Association of Philadelphia-Federal Division, have demonstrated a lifetime commitment to our legal system. My father recognized that Judge Jones possesses the intelligence, temperament, and commitment to ethical behavior required of a jurist when he first appointed him 21 years ago. I am very honored to support his confirmation to serve as a U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and look forward to following what will surely be a distinguished career on the federal bench.
Mr. Chairman, each of the nominees comes to the bench with superior legal experience that will serve them well in their new duties as federal district court judges. Each possesses the judicial temperament, humility and strong sense of ethical responsibility required to interpret the law in a thoughtful, thorough and objective manner. I therefore encourage my colleagues to confirm these well-qualified individuals for service on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The quantum of work we sometimes need to do at the workplace can make us slog for long hours. Since we are pressed for time, the general tendency observed in people is to continue working without taking sufficient breaks.
However, we suggest you take a break every two hours. It will not only refresh you but will also save you from boredom and dullness that may arise from working constantly.
Have you observed that we often tend to ignore our health when caught in the rut of work? The three 'Whats' of a healthy diet will take you a long way in keeping you healthy and energized:
1 - What time to eat? 2 - What type of food to eat? 3 - What amount of food to eat?
You can easily practice this technique and maintain a healthy diet.
Planning the day's schedule can help you achieve targets within the defined time limits. If you are exceeding the time limit set for one task, you will know exactly when you have to cut short on casual activities. Planning every minute of the day might be a little challenging initially, but you will soon get the hang of it.
Something that can really help you plan more effectively is a quality relaxation. Meditation is one such known relaxation technique. Relaxation brings peace of mind and that can help you take better decisions, ones which are in your best interest and also of the organization.

DNA study shows hornworm pests have Central American origins
May 31st, 2013GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida Museum of Natural History researchers have co-authored the first comprehensive study on the evolution of two agricultural pests commonly used as model organisms.
Tobacco and tomato hornworms are among the largest caterpillars, able to individually devastate an entire plant if left unchecked. Despite their use in many fields of biology, the relationships of these hawkmoths have been confused for more than 50 years. The study published online May 3 and scheduled for the September 2013 print edition of Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution shows they are not as closely related as previously believed, providing a new baseline for determining correct classifications within the group, said lead author Akito Kawahara, assistant curator of Lepidoptera at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the University of Florida campus.
"When people make decisions about these species, they can't assume that they are most closely related – there are other species in between that we (more…)

Museum scientists help catalog official North America fish names in new guide
May 1st, 2013GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida Museum of Natural History researchers have co-authored the latest edition of the universal reference for fish names in North America, an important resource for scientists, naturalists and fishermen.
The publication improves communication among fisheries biologists and others with an interest in fishes, a vital resource with substantial economic importance for humans. U.S. commercial and recreational saltwater fishing generated more than $199 billion in sales in 2011, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service.
The seventh edition of "Common and Scientific Names of Fishes from the United States, Canada, and Mexico" is compiled by a joint committee of the American Fisheries Society and the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. (more…)

Scientists stress need for national marine biodiversity observation network
April 11th, 2013GAINESVILLE, Fla. — With ocean life facing unprecedented threat from climate change, overfishing, pollution, invasive species and habitat destruction, a University of Florida researcher is helping coordinate national efforts to monitor marine biodiversity.
Humans depend on the ocean for food, medicine, transportation and recreation, yet little is known about how these vast ecosystems spanning 70 percent of the Earth's surface are functioning and changing. Following a workshop sponsored by U.S. federal agencies in 2010, researchers at eight institutions have proposed a blueprint for establishing a cooperative marine biodiversity observation network to monitor trends in marine ecosystem health and the distribution and abundance of oceanic life. The research will appear online in BioScience Thursday and in the journal's May print issue.
Biodiversity observation networks are indispensible tools, allowing scientists to follow and predict ecosystem changes to facilitate proactive responses to environmental pressures, said study co-author Gustav Paulay, invertebrate zoology curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the UF campus.

Study shows turtle population rebounds from past harvesting; habitat degradation still poses threat
April 9th, 2013GAINESVILLE, Fla. — New Florida Museum of Natural History research shows a turtle population may recover from a one-time harvesting event after decades, but habitat degradation may favor more tolerant species.
Between 1969 and 1980, the northern map turtle was harvested in the Ozarks for the food trade, causing about 50 percent population loss. Analyzing a river in Missouri from 2005 to 2007, scientists found northern map turtle populations have rebounded to numbers recorded in the same river in 1969. The data shows a shift in the river turtle community, with a dramatic increase in two species that are more tolerant of degraded habitat: the red-eared slider and the (more…)
Students with 'A' in science receive free admission
April 4th, 2013GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Museum of Natural History is continuing its popular "A for Science" free admission program for K-12 students statewide.
Students who receive an "A" or "E" grade in a science can provide their most recent report card at the front desk and receive a free admission with the purchase of a paid regular price adult admission. Alachua County students receive report cards today.
The offer is valid for the Butterfly Rainforest exhibit, the "Titanoboa: Monster Snake" exhibit open through Aug. 11, or a value admission for both exhibits.
"The 'A for Science' program directly supports our emphasis on youth education," said Jaret Daniels, Florida Museum assistant director of exhibits and public programs. "It encourages them to take a strong interest in the sciences by rewarding stellar academic achievement."
The Butterfly Rainforest is a 6,400-square-foot, lush, tropical garden with hundreds of living butterflies from around the world, including 60 to 80 different species at any given time. (more…)
Earth Day celebration includes bioblitz, three-day plant sale April 19-21
April 4th, 2013GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Museum of Natural History will celebrate Earth Day with its annual bioblitz from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 20 and butterfly-friendly plant sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 19-21.
The plant sale is one of the museum's largest of the year, featuring more than 125 species including wildlife-friendly and Florida native plants. The bioblitz aims to teach visitors about how items go from being collected in the field to becoming part of the Museum collection. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the outdoor University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Laboratory and learn survey techniques for different animal and plant populations. Museum collections from Dickinson Hall also will be displayed during this free event.
"A unique aspect of the Earth Day event is to share the story of how the museum works to conserve and preserve our Earth's diversity," said Catherine Carey, Florida Museum public programs coordinator.
In addition to the plant sale and bioblitz, the museum will host a panel discussion at 11 a.m. with John Moran, Rick Kilby and Leslie Gamble about the artists' exhibit "Springs Eternal: Florida's Fragile Fountains of Youth and Finding the Fountain of Youth: Discovering Florida's Magical Waters." The museum is displaying the exhibit from March 23 through Dec. 15. Journalist and author Cynthia Barnett moderate the discussion.
Proceeds from the plant sale benefit the museum's Butterfly Rainforest exhibit and events like the Earth Day celebration and ButterflyFest. (more…)
'Botanical Chords: The Art and Science of Plants and Cells' opens April 20
April 3rd, 2013GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A new Florida Museum of Natural History gallery exhibit opening April 20 will give visitors an intimate look at nine native Florida plants through the artwork of scientist and self-taught artist Terry Ashley.
"Botanical Chords: The Art and Science of Plants and Cells" includes composite images of two aspects of the same species: a plant as seen by the human eye coupled with a microscopic view of its cells.
"I think of a chord as a combination that enhances the experience," Ashley said. "A single note is nice, but a chord is something special."
While working as a research scientist at the Yale University School of Medicine, she conceived the idea for "Botanical Chords" after attending a presentation by Canadian photographer Andre Gallant. He used a "subject" slide and a "texture" slide to create "slide sandwiches." She completed her first composite image in 2002.
To create the magnified images, Ashley peels off the outer layer of a leaf, petal or stem until the specimen is a single cell layer thick. She takes many pictures of both the microscopic and large view of the plants, carefully pairing them for the best match. (more…)

Mary Higgins Clark was born on December 24, 1927, in the Bronx. She published her first short story in 1956. Widowed in 1964 and with five children to care for, Clark decided to try her hand at books. Her first suspense novel, Where Are the Children? was an instant bestseller. Clark was president of Mystery Writers of America and has an award named for her. She lives in Saddle River, New Jersey.
Early Life
Writer Mary Higgins Clark was born Mary Theresa Eleanor Higgins on December 24, 1927, in the Bronx, New York, to Nora and Luke Higgins. Higgins' father died when she was 11, and after she graduated from high school she worked as a secretary to help support the family as the second of three children. She spent a year as a flight attendant with Pan Am before marrying a neighbor, Warren Clark, who was nine years her senior.
Best-Selling Novel
Mary began writing short stories and published her first in 1956. Her husband died in 1964 leaving the young widow to care for their five children alone. She wrote four-minute radio scripts to help pay the bills until her agent encouraged her to try her hand at books. She sold her first short story, "Stowaway," when she was 28 years old. Her first suspense novel, Where Are the Children?, was published in 1975 and was an instant bestseller. In addition to writing, she returned to school to earn her philosophy degree from Fordham University in 1979.
Later Years
Over the next few decades, the prolific Clark wrote more than two dozen suspense novels that sold over 80 million copies in the United States alone. She is the bestselling fiction author in France and has held numerous posts among mystery genre circles, including president of Mystery Writers of America and Chairman of the International Crime Congress. She is also the inspiration for the Mystery Writers of America's Mary Higgins Clark Award.
Two of her novels—Where Are the Children? and A Stranger Is Watching (1978)—have been made into films. In addition, several of her popular works, both short stories and novels, have been made into television films. She continues the release of her mystery novels with the book Daddy's Gone A Hunting (2013).
Personal Life
Outside of writing, Clark is a proud and active Irish American Catholic, and was made a Dame of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, a papal honor. She also acts as an Honorary Chairman of FraXa Research, an organization devoted to finding proper medication to treat Fragile X syndrome, a condition that one of her children suffers from.
She married John J. Conheeney, former Merrill-Lynch Futures CEO, in 1996. The couple lives in Saddle River, New Jersey, and Manhattan. Her memoir, Kitchen Privileges, was published in 2003.

Harden: Rockets 'could have something special here'

06:06 PM ET 10.29 | James Harden was understandably devastated when he was first traded away from the Oklahoma City Thunder, but 24 hours later, he's singing a different tune. During his introductory press conference with the Houston Rockets, Harden declared that the team "could have something special here." Rockets GM Daryl Morey was also excited, saying that Harden is a "player we can build around."
James ... he is learning some about PR comments ... nice job.
I didn't think he was devastated to be trade to Houston ... and I don't think he is that excited to be there. (except for the max contract $$$$)
Harden is right. Houston still has cap room to sign another max player. If they can get another big time scorer to come to Houston (preferably a big man), they will be in business.
At the very least, they will be very entertaining with Lin and Harden running the show and Royce White running from the bus to games.
Until Harden becomes an all star and averages 23ppg + he will be no better than OJ Mayo...

But they have Lurch as their coach
Left a title contender for 8 million dollars....Special isnt the word I had in mind.
Total Comments (19035)
that was pretty stupidunless he truly wants to be his own man- which I could respect(but its still silly to give up a guaranteed good team for a potential lottery bound one for years)
IT doesnt make sense to me. In Houston he has to go through a rebuild process whereas he could have stayed put and possibly win a title this season.. With pretty much the same amount of money. Im no millionare ,but whats 8 mill when you already have 52?
Total Comments (19035)
hey-I agree with you....but business is business- he made a business gamble and he now has a few more $ in his bank account, but his basketball career has taken a MAJOR downturnI said this on another thread- he played chicken with presti and presti crossed the road
Im willing to bet he is somewhere regretting this decision. But, you are right it is a business and he is a sole business man so he has to live with it. On the other hand if he somehow does the unthinkable, and does NOT regress as the "guy" Houston and Harden look like geniuses. Him and Lin are playing with the same stakes. Everyone is watching and waiting for the I told you so moment.
Total Comments (19035)
It's more than 8 mil.He wanted 4/60 from the Thunder.He wil get 5/70 from Houston.But, he will have to learn the same lesson that Joe Johnson learned after leaving the Suns.Being the man is harder than it looks.
Ahh I see. Well that is considering Harden decides to extend . Houston just took a gamble as well as there is no guarantee Harden doesnt jet after this year. But Houston is a fairly large market. They arent financially commited to anyone at the current moment. So they have some money to throw around. They are losing draft picks so they wont be able to build through the draft for a while, but they have money,and that certianly talks.

Euro Area Business Cycle Dating Committee In 2002 CEPR established a Business Cycle Dating Committee for the euro area. The Committee's mission is to establish the chronology of the euro area business cycle, by identifying the recessions and expansions of the 11 original euro area member countries from 1970 to 1998, and of the euro area as a whole since 1999. The Committee has identified four complete cyclical episodes since 1970, with peaks and troughs dated as follows:
Table 1. Peaks and Troughs
Table 2. Recessions and Expansions
Periods of recession are indicated in grey, and periods of expansion in white in this figure. The Committee concluded on 15 November 2012 that economic activity in the euro area peaked in the third quarter of 2011 and that the euro area had been in recession since then. The third quarter of 2011 marked the end of an expansion that began in the second quarter of 2009 and lasted 10 quarters. Although output increased 4.03 per cent from trough to peak, this was not enough to bring euro-area GDP back to its pre-financial crisis level: at the end of the expansion in 2011Q3, GDP was about 2% below its previous 2008Q1 peak. You can read the Press Release here and the Findings here. Previous decisions of the Committee may be found here.

Mass in E-flat major, Op.5 (Beach, Amy Marcy)
It is unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (like China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright, it is almost certainly public domain in the USA as well. |

Who wouldn't love the idea of being able to save on your monthly electrical bills? One way to do that is by using solar power for homes. How are you going to convert your home? Well, there is no need to cut off your existing power supply. Besides, the sun doesn't shine all throughout the year. That way, even when there's no sunshine, you can still use electricity. You're quite lucky if your place gets a lot of sunshine in most months of the year.
Sunlight is renewable, free, and clean. You will simply collect raw sunshine and convert it to electricity with the use of solar panels. Just imagine savings about 80% on your utility bills every month. That's already a good deal since you will be spending a one-time investment on the materials and installation.
So how are you going to build the solar panels?
You can find lots of info sources online. By doing a quick search online, you may be able to get step by step instructions on how to develop homemade solar panels. To be able to create an efficient solar power system, the instructions should be clear and easy to understand. That way, you can install the system with ease. The instruction material should provide design diagrams, the required materials and parts, and easy to read directions. You can join forums online that discuss about solar power because other individuals might be able to provide you with helpful information. You can find lots of guides online but not all of them are useful. You must pick out the right guide.
Solar panels are not that expensive and you will simply need to make a substantial investment and after that, you can already enjoy an unlimited source of renewable and clean energy.
The solar panels must be placed on the right spot where there is plenty of sunshine. Why not put the solar panels on your roof? If you can find unblocked space on your backyard or garden, you can also place the panels there. Find the windows where there is direct sunlight and mount the solar panels there.
Once you have all the materials ready, you can start building the panels. Ready made panels cost around $3,000 or more depending on their usage. There are also simple DIY solar panel kits that you can create over the weekend. The DIY kits are more affordable and with only $200, you can already create a simple project.
Once you finish building the solar panels, mount them properly. From then on, you can expect to save a lot of money in the coming months and years. You can expect an 80% reduction in your electric bills monthly and as long as you have efficient solar panels, you can benefit from it for a long time.
Free sunlight is widely available and if you live in a place where there is lots of sunshine, you can benefit greatly if you build your solar panels. Learn how to build one now and try to prepare an adequate working budget.

Working mothers, hipsters, and what we see when we look at other moms
February 17, 2012
My blog buddy Liz Gumbinner won an award for being a fabulous working mother. And while I don't know any of the intimate details of her at-home life, beyond those on her blog, I can attest that she gets so much done I quake in her shadow, amazed, and her children always wear the most adorable clothes! But, as she says, she doesn't do it all. There are sacrifices she makes -- some so dear she writes long blog posts about them -- and she wanted to acknowledge that. That none of us "have it all." She wrote of the other honorees, "...mostly there a lot of [acceptance speeches] stories in which everyone has a perfectly supportive husband, doting children who never miss us, stellar colleagues, and no need for "me time.""

Reports: North Korea Successfully Launches Satellite
NEW YORK -- North Korea apparently succeeded in placing a satellite in Earth orbit after a Dec. 12 launch that is already drawing condemnation from the United States and other Western nations.
North Korea launched its long-range Unha-3 rocket at 7:49 p.m. EST (9:49 a.m. on Dec. 13 local time) from Sohae Satellite Launch Station on the nation's northwest coast. North Korean officials declared the launch a success shortly thereafter, claiming that the Unha-3 had delivered a scientific satellite to orbit as planned.
The rogue nation has a history of making such claims even after failed liftoffs, but it appears to be telling the truth this time.
"Initial indications are that the missile deployed an object that appeared to achieve orbit," the North American Aerospace Defense Command, a joint U.S.-Canadian effort, said in a statement. "At no time was the missile or the resultant debris a threat to North America."
If it was indeed successful, the launch would end a string of rocket mishaps for North Korea. A satellite launch this past April failed shortly after liftoff, and similar attempts in 1998 and 2009 also flopped.
These past blastoffs drew condemnation from the United States, South Korea and other nations, which viewed them as thinly disguised missile tests.
The Dec. 12 launch has already elicited a strong reaction. The White House called it a "highly provocative act that threatens regional security," and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon declared it a "clear violation" of a UN resolution.
While North Korea had announced its intention to launch the Unha-3 soon, the Dec. 12 liftoff comes as a bit of a surprise. On Dec. 10, officials extended the launch window until Dec. 29, saying that engineers were working through a technical issue with the rocket.
