College PossibleEvery year in Wisconsin nearly 2,000 people dedicate themselves to serving the community as part of AmeriCorps. In Milwaukee, 26 of those people work with a local non-profit called College Possible that's committed to helping local kids get a higher education. Marquelle Moorer, a senior at Hamilton High School in Milwaukee, is one of those kids. He doesn't mind staying after school to study and it's not because school comes easy. In fact, it can be tough for him, but it's getting easier thanks to the volunteers at College Possible.
"I'm proud to say because of them, I've passed my math class. Finally! For the first time it was like oh, I get it now," Moorer says with a huge smile on his face. The College Possible coaches who work with the kids dedicate at least a year of service in return for valuable professional experience. "AmeriCorps helps bring us those really dedicated recent college graduates, these young people who really want to change the world and we give them an opportunity to do that on a daily basis," Edie Turnball, Executive Director for College Possible explains. The College Possible crew works with low-income students across Milwaukee. The coaches help juniors and seniors with their study skills and strategies to get into college. The ultimate goal is a college degree. "I had a great college experience so I want to be able to give back to other communities and other kids who don't have all of those resources or don't have families that have gone to college," Kari Houghtaling, one of the College Possible coaches says. Another College Possible coach, Jonathan Isaac, loves interacting with the kids on a daily basis. "That's why I've done it and these kids have such bright futures ahead and that's why I want to be there as they realize that potential they have," Isaac explains. Their hard work is paying off. The kids say it's making a difference. "It's helping me take college more seriously, not to mention that the coach is helping me get better with my ACTs," Daron Penns, a junior at Hamilton High says. The Executive Director of College Possible describes the success of the program as tremendous. "I'm not using the word tremendous lightly. Last year we saw increases on average of about three points on the ACT. So our students' options for colleges went up dramatically," Turnball says.
Moorer is a great example. He just got accepted to 10 colleges. It's a huge accomplishment not just for him, but his entire family. "Because of AmeriCorps and College Possible and me being a first generation student, I will be attending college in the fall which is going to be quite exciting because I have officially changed the legacy of my family," Moorer says. The work starts with one, but it touches many. Isaac calls it the ripple effect. "By helping the students we help in Milwaukee, it ripples outward into the community whether inspiring younger siblings, inspiring a committee they live in or the neighbors who they see every day. That ripple effect starts out with these kids and ripples out to all of Milwaukee," he says. Getting into college is the first goal. The second is success while there. College Possible sticks with the kids. It connects them to campus resources, builds a network of support and provides financial aid and scholarship application assistance. Most Popular |

Early life and career
André Rieu was born on October 1, 1949 in Maastricht in the Netherlands. He began studying violin at the age of five. He was raised in a musical family (six children) and his father was also a conductor. From a very young age he developed a fascination with the Orchestra form. He studied violin at the Conservatoire Royal in Liège and in the Conservatorium Maastricht, (1968–1973). His teachers included Jo Juda and Herman Krebbers. From 1974 to 1977, he attended the Music Academy in Brussels, studying with André Gertler. At that Academy, he won the Premier Prix.
At University he performed the Gold And Silver waltz by Franz Lehár and was impressed by the audience reaction, so he decided to pursue the waltz form. He formed the Maastricht Salon Orchestra and performed as a violinist with the Limburg Symphony Orchestra. In 1987, he created the Johann Strauss Orchestra and his own production company. Since then, his melodramatic stage performances and rock-star-style demeanor have for some been associated with a revival of the waltz music category.
Johann Strauss Orchestra
The Orchestra began in 1987 with twelve members but now performs with over forty and up to fifty musicians. At the time the Orchestra first toured Europe, there emerged a renewed interest in waltz music. This revival was initially mostly in The Netherlands and was ignited by their recording of the "Second Waltz" from Shostakovich's Jazz Suites. As a result, Rieu became known as "The King Of Waltz".

I have a hard time believing that with the financial problems that we are having in America today that our government is willing to spend $800 million of American taxpayers money to rebuild a dam in Afghanistan.
That amount of money could be better spent in this country to help rebuild our own infrastructure after Super Storm Sandy, the East Coast of America, and the people there need help immediately but our government would rather spend money in other parts of the world.
Whatever happened to the government of the people, by the people, for the people?

How to choose the correct ball weight? |
Several different methods have been utilized to measure the proper weight bowling ball for each player. A method I used and was taught at an early stage in my pro shop career was to have the person place their arm at their side with their elbow against their body and their forearm at a 90 degree angle to their bicep with the palm up. You then place the undrilled ball in their hand and allow them to balance the ball. If they can hold it and balance it in their palm for a period of at least 5 seconds then the ball weight is fine, but if their hand wavers back and forth and they cannot balance the ball in their palm then the weight is too heavy. This method was usually very successful for many of the people I taught it to as well. |
What are the inside and outside of a bowling ball made of? |
The coverstocks of bowling ball consist of three basic materials these days. The first would have to be polyester. This is a low friction, durable coverstock generally designed for its aesthetic value. It has the least amount of friction with the lane and is generally utilized for recreational bowling and also for players to use as a spare ball. The second coverstock would be urethane. Urethane is such a rare material these days. It does have a higher surface friction with the lane than polyester and can be utilized on those very short or light volume patterns. Today's higher viscosity oils have seen the disappearance of urethane in general. The third and most popular is reactive urethane. Reactive Urethane creates the greatest amount of friction with lane and gives us the strongest reaction down the lane. It's durability is the least due to the increased amount of porosity and the additives that go into the coverstock. There are both solid and pearl versions of Reactive Urethane. The Solid has the most amount of porosity and creates the highest amount of friction in oil, while the pearl version has a lower porosity and creates greater skid in oil which in turn usually means greater entry angle down the lane due to it's slower loss of kinetic energy. We can also talk about particle coverstock as well. They all still consist of a Reactive base with a percentage of particle added to the coverstock. The particle increases the amount of surface friction with the lane. These particle may consist of glass, ceramic, rubber, and other polymers. Particle coverstocks have the greatest amount of porosity due to the particulate matter. The core of the bowling balls are made of several different materials depending on what characteristics or reactions we are looking for. Weight blocks are generally made of and Iron Oxide or Bismuth mixture due the high specific gravity of the material which in turns means greater weight mass and heavier weight parts. This in turn lowers the RG and creates earlier read in the lane. The outer wraps are generally made from polyesters. They must be durable yet light to enhance the weight block characteristics and not detract from them. |
What is the difference between Polyester and Urethane? |
Polyester a is very low friction highly durable polymer in most circumstances. When polyesters were first utilized in bowling it was back when the lane oils were much thinner in viscosity and also we used a tenth of the oil on the lane that we do today and also most lanes were generally made of wood which has a much higher surface friction than synthetic lanes. Upon their inception they did hook to a certain extent, but the biggest quality of polyester is its longevity. |
What is Top Weight? |
Top weight is the measure of weight from the top of the ball (CG) and the bottom of the ball (opposite the cg). In general their will always be more weight to the top of the ball (CG). This is due to the fact that when you drill finger holes into the ball you are extracting weight from the ball (generally 2 ounces or more depending the hole sizes and the density of the core) and it was initially designed to keep the ball balanced after it was drilled. Balls with lower initial top weight were generally more stable after drilled than those with higher top weights due to the fact that their was so much weight left over after drilling. This created imbalance and often time added length and backend reaction for early three piece (Pancake weight block) bowling balls. Top weight by today's standards is not nearly as important because a majority of the weight mass of most bowling balls is closer to the center of the ball than the shell and top weight has less of an effect because ball motion is more about the placement of the weight block itself and not the static weight mass. Top weight these days usually dictates hole size for those off label drillings. |
What is pin position? |
Pin position is the distance the top of the weight block or (x-axis) is from the center of gravity (CG). The farther the pin is from the CG the more the weight block is shifted in the bowling ball. In general a pin that is three inches from the cg usually means the weight block is shifted 3/16 of an inch, so really there is not much dynamic difference between a 1 inch pin and a 3 inch pin. |
Why are there so many ball choices? |
Bowling is the largest participation sport in the world (Millions). This means that there are a multitude of styles and lane conditions along with different surfaces. This means that we try to design bowling balls for any possibility or scenario and also at varying price points based on the amount of performance that the player is looking for. Bowling and golf share many similarities in this case. You are allowed 14 clubs in your bag for a variety of shots, and also you have a multitude of players to design clubs for as well. |
Good Fit (Conventional or Finger Tip)? |
First of all you should make sure that your pro shop operator is IBPSIA certified and if not you should make some inquiries to local bowlers about balls that they have had drilled. Ask questions as to how their ball feels and if they have any problems with their hands. |
How do I maintain my ball? |
A bowling ball is a lot like the car you drive. With proper maintenance and care it will last much longer. I suggest that with any bowling regardless of material it is made of that you should keep it clean. I suggest you use a towel while you are bowling. You should wipe the ball of before each shot. Today's oils are much thicker and have the tendency to adhere to the bowling ball after each shot, so you should wipe the surface before each shot to ensure consistent performance. This is especially true of the ball with higher friction coverstocks (Reactive or Particles). |
What layouts are recommended? |
Consult your local pro shop professional based on your style, lane conditions, and performance you are looking for. |
What is the difference between dull and shiny? |
Both are simply measure of surface texture. A dull ball generally has a greater surface texture or higher amount of friction. The higher the amount of friction, the earlier the ball will hook. As the surface texture decrease the amount of friction also decreases which in turn creates more length before the ball starts hooking (shiny). |

PRAGUE, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Forecasts for a massive drop in
wind generation lifted central European spot prices on Tuesday
while uncertainty in carbon markets helped keep the Cal '14
volatile, traders said.
On regional exchanges, Czech and Slovak electricity for
Wednesday surged 33 percent to 43.58 euros ($59.09) per megawatt
hour while Hungarian day ahead cleared the daily auction at
43.60 euros.
The three central European countries linked their day-ahead
markets last September, but prices have diverged frequently
since then, with Hungary often trading higher.
In the over-the-counter market, Czech day-ahead traded at
44.85 euros, representing more than a 1 euro discount to
neighbouring Germany. Day ahead in Hungary, where tighter
cross-border capacity and low Balkan water levels have affected
prices, rose to 46 euros.
Renewable supply was the big driver as data from Thomson
Reuters Point Carbon showed forecasts for wind generation in
Germany tumbling more than 8 GW to 11.8 GW.
'Wind power production is expected to drop massively
tomorrow,' Point Carbon analysts wrote. 'The bullish signal is
strongest for the first half of the day.'
Further along the curve, the Czech Cal '14 contract gave
back strong gains from the previous session, falling 10 cents to
41.35 euros on the Prague-based Power Exchange Central Europe.
Traders said the contract was volatile due to uncertainty
over whether EU lawmakers will come up with a plan to support
the carbon market and the fact many traders were away at an
industry conference in Germany.
'It's volatile now with the conference and all the political
decisions,' one trader said. 'The contract will likely bounce
In the region, the benchmark German Cal '14 contract was
unchanged at 41.90 euros in afternoon trade on Germany's EEX
Serbian power utility Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) plans to
produce 35,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity in 2013, up 1
percent from 2012 due to better use of coal-fired plants, an EPS
official said.
Serbian water levels are forecast to rise through Feb. 12,
Serbia's hydrometeorological service said in a weekly forecast.
The Freising, Germany-based Central Allocation Office GmbH
(CAO) has offered capacities for its auction for cross-border
capacity in March in the CEE region.
Poland's utilities will have 2.2 gigawatts of power offline
for planned maintenance on Thursday, data from grid operator PSE
Day ahead on Poland's POLPX exchange rose to 161.57 zlotys
($52.55)from 143.79.
Oil rose towards $117 a barrel, resuming its three-week
rally, as investor concern faded about political risks in the
euro zone that had prompted a sell-off of riskier assets in the
previous session.
The benchmark EU carbon contract, EU Allowances for December
delivery, rose more than 2 percent to 4.42 euros in
afternoon trade.
($1 = 0.7376 euros)

3 Being Inducted into ND Sports Hall of Fame
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Sports Hall of Fame will have three new members after this weekend.By: Associated Press,
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Sports Hall of Fame will have three new members after this weekend.
Former major league baseball players Darin Erstad and Rick Helling and legendary high school basketball coach Ed Beyer are being inducted into the hall in Jamestown during a banquet Saturday.
Erstad played outfield and first base in the majors for 14 years, for the Los Angeles Angels and two other teams. During his career he was an all-star, a gold glove winner and a World Series champion.
Helling pitched 13 years for five teams. He won 20 games with the Texas Rangers in 1998, and won two World Series rings with the Florida Marlins.
Beyer coached the Hillsboro boys' basketball team for nearly four decades, retiring as the winningest boys' coach in North Dakota history.

Brady Quinn makes eloquent statement in the wake of Jovan Belcher tragedy (VIDEO)
On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Panthers 27-21. As we all know by now, the game was played under unthinkable circumstances following the horrifying murder/suicide by Chiefs LB Jovan Belcher just one day earlier. As details continue to emerge about the incident, and Belcher's state of mind leading up to Saturday's events, our hearts go out to the families of Belcher and his girlfriend, Kassandra Perkins. But most of all, our thoughts and prayers are with young Zoey Belcher, orphaned in the most tragic way imaginable at just 3 months old.
After the game, Chiefs QB Brady Quinn stepped up to the mic and delivered on of the more poignant statements we've heard yet about this whole situation. Quinn looks inward to ask what more he could have done to prevent this tragedy, and asks each of us to reflect on the bigger picture, and specifically how we relate to others in a social media-driven society.
It's definitely worth a listen/read.
"What could I have done different? When you ask someone how they're doing, do you really mean it? When you answer someone back 'how are you doing' are you really telling them the truth? We live in a society of social networks and Twitter pages and Facebook, and that's fine and stuff, but we have contact with our work associates, our family, our friends, and it seems like half the time we're more pre-occupied with our phone and other things going on instead of the actual relationships we have in front of us. Hopefully, people can learn from this and try to actually figure out if somebody is battling something deeper on the inside, than what they may be revealing on a day-to day basis."
(Quinn speaks after Romeo Crennel declines to speak about what he witnessed in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday)
Well said.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Your Trip
What distance do we walk each day?
When walking in the mountains, the distance you cover each day can vary greatly due to gradient, terrain and altitude. As such it is very hard to give specific distances on each day.
For example, you might walk 7 miles one day and it takes 5 hours. The next day the trail might be very steep , rocky and gain substantial altitude and such factors mean you cover just 2 miles in 5 hours!
In the Himalaya, even the local people only ever talk about distances in the mountains in terms of how long it will take, i.e. 5 hours walk. On most trekking trips, you will walk for 3-4 hours in the morning and another couple after lunch.

Any good shopping tips for India?
Where do you start?! Half the joy of shopping in India is the sheer scale of what's on offer, from upscale boutiques in New Delhi, Mumbai and Calcutta to the crowded and sweaty markets of pretty much any town or village you come to. Handicrafts, art, leather goods, spices, hand carved statues, silk, the list goes on - all the way to cheap knock offs of western brands!
Remember, outside of the proper shops, haggling is the key but don't waste your time trying to split the difference over a few pence - the best result is when everyone comes away happy!
Charlotte Taylor - India Operations
Are walking poles necessary for Indian treks?
Although not strictly necessary, some people do like to take them along as they can be useful, especially on the descents. However, remember to pack them in your hold luggage.
Brendan Phelan - Customer Operations
Is it possible to buy extra equipment in Ladakh?
There are a few trekking stores now in Leh and pretty much everything is available for a price. However, we cannot guarantee the quality or quantities you will find, and always advise that for anything really important, you take them from home. Saying that, there are bargains to be had (if you don't mind some of the gear being an "Indian version"!). The climbing gear on hire is not good quality though and is mostly ex Indian army – best to bring your own.
Brendan Phelan - Customer Operations
What is the best way to take money to India?
Any time I go out, I normally just take sterling cash which, as long as you excercise the normal degree of common sense you would at home, is safe and easy. The India rupee is a closed currency, meaning you can only get it upon arrival in the country. There are exchange facilities at all arrival airports, and ATMs are available pretty much everywhere as well in case you need to top up along the way.
Brendan Phelan - Customer Operations

I have some free time in Delhi - what should I see?
A definite place to visit when you have an extra day in Delhi is a trip to the new Akshardham Temple. Situated on the outskirts of New Delhi in the embankment of River Yamuna, this sprawling Swaminarayan Akshardham spreads over 100 acres of land and is renowned for its carved pillars, water fountains and 20,000 statues. Made from white marble and pink stone this new temple was only completed in 2005 which makes it less well known by Western tourists or the guide books. A visit to the temple is the perfect way to explore the amazing world of Indian culture and get a unique view of the Hindu religion.
Other 'must see' places are the Red Fort, Humayum's Tomb (a forerunner to the Taj Mahal), Qutab Minar, Tuqulaquabad, Purana Quila.
The National Museum is very interesting as is the Gandhi Smriti, a museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi.

Can I catch a Bollywood movie?!
Fancy a night out in India just like the locals? Head to a Bollywood movie and join the local in an evening packed with entertainment. The Bollywood masala movies are a mixture of dance, drama and musical with a break in between as most of these are lengthy 3 hours movies. This gives you the option to leave the theatre should you want to do that! The songs and dances make it like a 60's musical where you could have the whole locals singing and dancing to the tune. Some movies become hits only because of these. Movie theatres that you may want to visit are; Raj Mandir in Jaipur, Odeon in Canaught Place, New Delhi, Filmistan, Karol Bagh in New Delhi - but all cities have theatres. A word of warning- try to avoid the rush when entering and exiting the theatre and the crowded area and keep valuables with close to you zipped at all times and enjoy the show.

Can you recommend a good restuarant in Delhi?
A popular restaurant situated in Old Delhi on the ground floor of Hotel Broadway is the Chor Bizarre Restaurant. It has good selection of North Indian and Kashmiri cuisine. The hotel also regularly has Indian Cultural programme in the evenings that you are recommended to check with the hotel/restaurant beforehand for reservations should you want to watch it. Also being a popular restaurant it is advisable that you make an advance table booking to avoid disappointment.

Can you give me more info on altitude sickness?
You can find a comprehensive article covering this matter here: http://www.himalayanrescue.org/hra/article.php?sno=9
Alex Doaga - Exodus leader
What kind of food should I expect around the Indian subcontinent?
There is a real mix available and you won't be disappointed! The local cuisine is predominantly vegetarian, with lots of rice. You can enjoy everything from traditional spicy curries to stalls selling tasty sweets and deserts and even right the way to western style grub, if it all gets a bit too much. Vegetarians and 'non-spicy' food people are easily catered for, and the leader will make sure a wide range of dishes are ordered for each meal.

India Specific Questions
Is it possible to get visas upon arrival?
No. Indian visas must be pre-arranged in advance. Check the Indian embassy website for details.
Will Shoubridge - Agency Sales
I've heard the 'Delhi Belly' rumours in India -will this be a problem?
India has delicious food to cater for all preferences but, like anywhere in the world, hygiene is important. Keeping your hands well washed before eating, staying as hydrated as possible and sticking to bottled water is the best protection against an upset tum. Otherwise, mashed potato is apparently a good cure!

Cardiogenic shock is usually diagnosed in an emergency setting. Doctors will check for signs and symptoms of shock, and will then perform additional tests to find out what's causing your condition. Tests to diagnose cardiogenic shock include:
Coronary catheterization (angiogram). This test can show if your coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked. A liquid dye is injected into the arteries of your heart through a long, thin tube (catheter) that's pushed through an artery, usually in your leg, to the arteries in your heart. As the dye fills your arteries, the arteries become visible on X-ray, revealing areas of blockage.
Additionally, while the catheter is in position, your doctor may treat the blockage by performing an angioplasty. Angioplasty uses tiny balloons threaded through a blood vessel and into a coronary artery to widen the blocked area. In most cases, a mesh tube (stent) is also placed inside the artery to hold it open more widely and prevent re-narrowing in the future.

"Williams does not shirk from celebrating the internationalism (notably in the images) which now characterises the genre, setting the music free of the island and the past in its practice. Yet she demonstrates and celebrates stylistic mentors, locales and standards in Ireland, locating roots and sustenance in Irish culture and poetry. The accompanying CD's eighteen tracks of fine performers (with their own considerable support text) facilitate step-by-step aural analysis of the music under discussion, marking this production as a unique, valuable, structured academic, analytical introduction to Irish traditional music and song."

Combining the International Who's Who in Classical Music 2011 and the International Who's Who in Popular Music 2011, this two-volume set gives users a complete view of the music world today, from awards and compositions to detailed contact information and music festivals.
The International Who's Who in Classical Music 2011 contains biographical information on singers, instrumentalists, composers, conductors and managers. Users will find information on orchestras, opera companies and other institutions connected with the classical music world. Each biographical entry comprises personal information, principal career details, repertoire, recordings and compositions, and full contact details where available.
The International Who's Who in Popular Music 2011 provides biographical details on some of the most talented and influential artists and individuals from the world of popular music. Now in its thirteenth edition, it includes over 7,000 biographies charting the careers and achievements of pop, rock, folk, jazz, dance, world and country artists throughout the world.
The Classical and Popular Music set, along with the individual volumes, was published on the 24th of March. You can learn more about the set or order today.
''More than 8,000 musicians are included in this latest (2010) edition. Apparently those included are given the opportunity to amend and add to their entries in the interests of accuracy and currency. Routledge's editorial department is also engaged in ensuring accuracy and last minute updates. No book, of course, can ever keep up with developments in the way that online sites can. But there is no single source online that's as comprehensive as International Who's Who in Classical Music 2010, 26th Edition. Libraries, music departments in colleges and universities as well as other publishers, music venues and recording companies, agencies and the like would all benefit from access to the publication.
The schematic is logical and the references easy to follow. There is no bias even towards the English-speaking world: opera companies in Vietnam (one in Hanoi) and orchestras (the Hanoi Philharmonic and Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra), for example, are listed – with telephone and fax numbers, email addresses and websites. Entries, then, tend towards the factual, rather than the evaluative. But this, too, is as it should be. It's a work of reference.
If your organization needs at its staff's fingertips an authoritative and comprehensive survey of the achievements and some factual information of many of the most prominent figures in music, music administration and performance, then International Who's Who in Classical Music 2010, 26th Edition can be safely recommended.''

This couple – one a world renowned pianist and scholar, the other an esteemed musicologist – share the author of the month spot for their book Interpreting Mozart. This classic, which was long out-of-print, has finally been updated to reflect the last half-century of scholarship in Mozart's music.
Paul Badura-Skoda is a legendary artist who has been heard in all the world's greatest concert halls, and for years was the pianist who had the largest number of records available in the market. His musical personality is characterized by complete immersion in music, a passionate search for the essential, and a sense of artistic responsibility.

A Field Guide to Student Teaching in Music, by Ann Clements and Rita Klinger, is focused on the link between music education coursework and the field-based aspects of the student-teaching experience. It addresses general topics that are common to all music placements as well as those topics that are of specific interest to the general, choral, and instrumental music in the classrooms. This text builds on theoretical material typically covered in music methods courses, yet is not specific to a single teaching pedagogy, making it flexible enough for use with different state structures in music education. It will guide students through the student teaching process as they make the transition from student to music education. It will guide students through the student teaching process as they make the transition from student to music educator.
This practical manual is a hands-on tool for student teachers with effective teaching strategies unique to the music classroom – singing, movement, performances, rehearsals and score preparation – but also addressing the issues of parent involvement, budgets uniforms, community outreach, and beyond.

"Developing Musicianship through Aural Skills offers an integrated approach to sight singing and ear training by guiding the student through the process of developing those skills necessary for a career in music. The goal of the text is to produce not only great practitioners of the musical arts but skilled, discerning listeners as well." –Edward Taylor, Baylor University
Developing Musicianship through Aural Skills is a comprehensive method for learning to hear, sing, understand, and use the foundations of music as a part of an integrated and holistic curriculum for training professional musicians.
Each chapter is organized to take advantage of how our minds and instincts naturally hear and understand music, and presents a variety of exercises for practicing and integrating the structure into your musical vocabulary. Developing Musicianship through Aural Skills will provide you with the musical terms, progressions, resolutions, and devices that you will be able to draw upon as a functional and usable musical vocabulary. Ear training exercises on the companion website reinforce both discrete structures (intervals, chords, etc.) as well as all rhythmic and melodic material, and sections are provided to open discussion and reflection on the skills and attitudes professional musicians need to be successful.

The January 2014 edition of the PPC Travel AO e-Newsletter provides information on new rules for policy constructed travel cost calculations. The Constructive Cost of GTR worksheet has been revised to reflect the new rules.
Recent change to JFTR: Constructed cost of GTR IAW JFTR change 320 dated 8/1/2013 - UTD/CTD for MAP 069-13(E)/CAP 061-13(E) - Constructed Transportation Costs effective 26 June 2013: GSA indicated that the constructed transportation cost for a traveler authorized a specific transportation mode is limited to ONLY the cost of the transportation (FTR Sec. 301-10.309).
When a member is authorized to travel on TDY using a Privately Owned Conveyance (POC) not to exceed (NTE) the cost of government procured transportation/GTR, the orders must state: "POC travel NTE the constructed cost of the GTR $XXX.XX;" with the actual dollar amount replacing the "X's". To calculate this amount, you must add together:
Note: See the TPAX Constructed Cost Tutorial to learn how to input your claim when travel via POC not to exceed the policy constructed cost is authorized.
Also see Guidance and examples for Constructed Cost Computation worksheet.
Published Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:30:01 CST
Effective 1 January 2014, the MALT (monetary allowance in lieu of transportation) rate per authorized POC (privately owned conveyance) is $0.235 (twenty three and one half cents) per mile. This rate is effective for all PCS travel that commences on or after 1 January 2014 (i.e., the initial travel is started).
TDY mileage rates changed on 01 January 2014. The new TDY rates are:
$0.56 | - | Automobile (if no GOV is available) |
$0.235 | - | POC use instead of a government furnished vehicle (if a GOV is available) when use of a government furnished vehicle is to the government's advantage. |
$0.53 | - | Motorcycle |
$1.31 | - | Airplane |

Title: | The Formation Of Massive Stars (Colloquia) |
Start Date: | 02/16/2010 |
Time: | 4:30 pm |
Location: | 1 LeConte |
Speaker: | Mark Krumholz |
Affiliation: | UC Santa Cruz |
Details: | NOTICE: Special Colloquium Date Massive stars, those larger than 20 times the mass of the Sun, are very rare, but their extreme luminosities make them both the only type of young star we can observe in distant galaxies and the dominant energy sources in the universe today. How such stars form, however, is a longstanding mystery. Efficient radiative cooling in the dense clouds where massive stars form should favor fragmentation into objects of solar mass or smaller. Even if a collapsing cloud exceeds this mass, massive stars produce so much light that the radiation pressure they exert on the gas and dust around them is stronger than their gravitational attraction, a condition that has long been expected to prevent them from growing by accretion. Unraveling these mysteries requires new techniques for simulating gravito-radiation-hydrodynamics in three-dimensions over large dynamic ranges. I introduce these methods, and I present results from recent simulations that point toward solutions to these problems. |

The crepe myrtles are pretty. London planes are a perfect nuisance, dropping the seed balls and leaves. This is a perfectly idiotic waste of money
on Jan 10, 2013 at 2:50 pm
I'm not a tree guy, wouldn't know a crepe myrtle from a london plane. I do suspect that neither of these species are native to this area. I'm a fish and wildlife guy, and when it comes to enviornmental issues I am most concerned about screwing with mother nature. Non-native species, be they animal, fish or fauna are not a good idea. Add to that the fact that they take up room on the street, and this is a really dumb idea; but, I am sure they will get planted--only to need to be torn out when ECR has to be expanded to handle the traffic increases that are coming our way.
on Jan 15, 2013 at 1:28 pm
The crapemyrtles are lovely trees with pretty flowers that enhance downtown.
On the other hand, here is what Wikipedia has to say about the London Plane tree:"...it (London Plane tree) has a number of problems in urban use, most notably the short, stiff hairs shed by the young leaves and the dispersing seeds; these are an irritant if breathed in, and can exacerbate breathing difficulties for people with asthma. The large leaves can create a disposal problem in cities."
Menlo Park should not be wasting our tax dollars to remove our beautiful, well-established trees, nor should it even consider burdening us with messy trees known to create breathing and other problems in cities.
It ain't broke. Don't fix it.

App Lets Guys Share Dirty DetailsCHARLOTTE, NC--When it comes to hooking up, everybody knows guys talk. A new app lets dudes virtual high-five each other with every encounter. Guys can upload pictures, even talk about how far they scored with a girl. In the movie The Social Network, rating girls on Facemash was a concept before Facebook. In reality tech guru's are pushing the envelope one step further. David Fontenot is one the co-founders of an app that does just that, "It lets you securely share your hookups with your friends." It's called Playbook, the app lets "bros" upload pictures of girls they've hooked up with and even log how far they scored. Local college girls say Playbook is degrading and are shocked that something like this exists. The Playbook app uses the classic baseball field model to let one another know what base they made it to with a girl. Fontenot says it's up for your own interpretation but classic definitions are the following, "First base is like you kissed the girl, the second base is you got a little more like into than that, the third base is where you almost had sex and did other things, and the fourth base is you hit a home run and had sex." While getting everyone up to bat is going to take some time, Fotenot says Playbook is just a way to talk in private, "It's something that guys are already talking to their friends about, it just makes it more secure." |

LongTail Video Announces the JW Player Beta for HTML5
The popular video player comes to HTML5.
LongTail Video released the JW Player beta for HTML5. The open source player allows video content to be displayed using the <video> tag found in HTML5. This feature allows video to be decoded by the end user's video codec rather than a browser-based plugin.
The JW Player for HTML5 supports custom skins to fit a site's specific look and is fully compatible with the JW Flash Player. If a browser (IE 6, we're looking at you) is incompatible with HTML5, the player reverts back to Flash.
One issue that has hampered the adoption of HTML5 by commercial sites such as Hulu, is the lack of ad support, a caption system, and playlist functionality. Jeroen Wijering, the JW Player creator hopes to build out these features with the help of the developer community.
The JW Player for HTML5 is in beta testing now and can be downloaded here.

Daily Links for the LA Angels including Vernon Wells expected to start rehab this weekend, checking the Angel mock drafts, Segura is climbing the prospect rankings and much more...
The Story: The Angels are hoping to send Vernon Wells out on a rehab assignment this weekend.
The Monkey Says: Even if Wells continues to stink the joint up, the Angels will be better off having his glove in left and without having their depth streched so thin.
The Story: The mock drafts are pouring in for the Angels.
The Monkey Says: Most of the drafts I've seen have the Angels selecting a high school pitcher, but it doesn't seem like they've locked in on one specific player like they have in the past.
The Story: Jean Segura is in Keith Law's updated top 25 prospect list.
The Monkey Says: Segura is still years away from the majors, but him climbing the prospect rankings is always worth getting excited about.

GAL4 encodes the archetypal member of the Zn(II)2Cys6 family, also called the zinc cluster family, of transcriptional regulators; there are approximately 46 proteins of this family in S. cerevisiae (reviewed in 5 and 6). Gal4p mediates expression of most of the genes involved in utilization of galactose, a relatively poor carbon source that is used only if glucose or other carbon sources are not available. Galactose induces expression of the Gal4p-regulated genes, which include the galactose utilization genes GAL1, GAL2, GAL3, GAL7, GAL10, and GAL80 as well as GCY1, LAP3, MTH1, PCL10, REE1, and FUR4 (7, 8, 9). Gal4p-regulated genes contain upstream activating sequences (UASGAL) in their promoter regions to which Gal4p binds; when galactose is present as the sole carbon source, bound Gal4p recruits the transcription machinery to actively transcribe these genes (10). The number of UASGAL sites in the promoters of the genes varies, which plays a role in the extent of activation possible; induction of GAL1, GAL2, GAL7, and GAL10 is over 1000-fold (10, reviewed in 11).
When cells are grown in glucose as carbon source, GAL4 transcription is reduced roughly 5-fold, a modest decrease that nevertheless has a large repressive effect on transcription of genes under Gal4p control (12). Growth in the presence of other carbon sources, such as raffinose, allows production of Gal4p, but its activity is inhibited through interaction with Gal80p, which blocks the surface of Gal4p that interacts with the transcription machinery; this Gal4p-Gal80p complex is tethered to upstream activating sequences of the GAL genes through the DNA binding region of Gal4p (reviewed in 13 and 11). When cells are fed galactose, the galactose sensor protein Gal3p enters the nucleus and binds to Gal80p (14). As the Gal3p-Gal80p complex (but not uncomplexed Gal80p) can be identified in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, the Gal3p-Gal80p interaction may help prevent further interaction between Gal80p and Gal4p (14). Active Gal4p recruits the SAGA complex, Mediator complex, and other components of the transcriptional machinery to initiate transcription (15, 16, 17).
Activation by Gal4p relies on an acidic C-terminal region that both stimulates transcription and also binds Gal80p (18, 19, 20). In addition to its interactions with the transcription machinery, this acidic activating domain (AD) interacts with Sug1p and Sug2p, subunits of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome (reviewed in 13), and is a site of monoubiquitylation (21, 22). Gal4p binds the UASGAL site as a dimer, and both DNA binding and dimerization are mediated by sequences in the N-terminal region (23). Gal4p also undergoes phosphorylation during activation, although studies indicate this phosphorylation is not essential for activity ( While proteins containing Zn(II)2Cys6 motifs are found in S. cerevisiae and other fungi, they have not been identified in prokaryotes or higher eukaryotes (reviewed in 6).

Standing on the street today, talking to one of my friends, I saw a group of people all walking with their medium format, TLR cameras. I noticed that one of them looked familiar. As it turns out, one of them was one of my favourite photographers on flickr, mister bokeh, aka Mark. Turned out to be a nice guy, if you like large aperture and film photography check out his amazing photostream.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The scenario is almost perfect for the Charleston Catholic golf team.
The Irish enter today's Class A Region 4 championships at Big Bend Golf Course two tournaments away from joining five schools that have won three consecutive state titles.
What's more, junior Christian Casingal returns to seek his second individual crown in three seasons, and senior Aaron Persily has finished no worse than sixth in three trips.
The six-time state champions are heavy favorites to come out on top in Monday's regional. Catholic will be joined by Buffalo, Gilmer County, Parkersburg Catholic, St. Joseph, Wahama, Williamstown and Wirt County.
The top two teams and the two top players not from the qualifying teams earn spots in the State Tournament Oct. 8-9 at Oglebay Resort's Robert Trent Jones-designed Spiedel course in Wheeling. Also, four players will compete for each team with the highest score being thrown out.
Class A begins the day at 9 a.m. at Big Bend. Class AA also gets started at 9 a.m with its Region 4 championship also at the Tornado course.
Charleston Catholic and Buffalo are the defending Region 4 team qualifiers, while Parkersburg Catholic's Ben Collie returns as one of the individuals to qualify last year.
Charleston Catholic's Bill Gillispie, who is in his 10th season and was named the National Federation of High School Association West Virginia Coach of the Year, said he's hoping for a state title and some breaks for Persily.
"It would mean a lot to me for him (Persily) to win individual honors, just for the fact that he's put in so much work," said Gillispie, who has coached during four of Catholic's six state titles. "He's always a team-first guy. He'd rather see the team win than see himself win."
Last year, Buffalo's Cory Hoshor won overall honors as a junior in Class A, finishing two strokes ahead of Casingal and three strokes ahead of Persily. The Bison, behind Hoshor, Bradley Harris, Blaik Caplinger and Drew Patton, reached the State Tournament and finished third - 22 strokes behind - in the team standings. Buffalo returns all four from last year's state tournament-qualifying team.
"To have two guys with the ability to win, and, for some reason, him and Christian play well there," Gillispie said. "You don't find kids who play well at Oglebay very often."
Persily and Casingal are driven, but it's Persily who has the most motivation.
The senior finished sixth at the State Tournament in 2010, second in 2011 and third in 2012. He's a three-time All-State player who hasn't quite gotten over the hump and into that top spot.
This has been Persily's best summer, during which he qualified for the State Amateur for the first time and made the cut.
