The exchange application for Faculty of Arts and Science bilateral exchange programs will be available on-line in November. Applicants can select up to six institutions on the application form and they do not have to be in the same region or country. Some locations and universities can be heavily subscribed so it can be beneficial to have diversity in the selections. Students must be sure that the institutions listed on the application will be suitable for their academic program. The selection committee will assume that students have fully researched the universities selected by the applicant for program and course compatibility.
Students applying to any of the exchange partners in the the Trans-Atlantic Science Student Exchange Program (TASSEP) follow the same application process as for the bilateral exchanges. The TASSEP partners are identified in the drop-down partner list on the application form.
Completed applications must be submitted using the on-line form and the supporting documents outlined below must be submitted to the IPO by the published deadlines to ensure a complete application.
Please note that the University of St Andrews requires a separate application which is available by visiting the St Andrews Application information page. For students who wish to apply for a consortial exchange program (i.e. OBW/OJS/OMG/ORA, or Killam), a separate application and supporting documents are required. For more information please go to Multifaculty Exchanges.
On-line Bilateral Exchange Application - Currently Closed
All students are required to submit a 600-word statement of interest essay as part of the application. The essay should address the following statements:
The statement should be rigorously checked for spelling and grammatical errors as it will be read by the selection committee at the IPO, and, if you are nominated to participate in the exchange, by the partner institution as well.
Résumés should be a maximum of two pages. The selection committee is interested not only in work history, but in the experiences which show the student to be someone who is well-rounded, mature and capable of taking on a new challenge. Information about volunteer positions, languages, hobbies, community involvement, scholarships, and any previous international experiences should also be included. Try to include extracurricular/volunteer activities that you may participated in while at Queen's (or at the BISC for students who were in the BISC First-Year Program). Consult with Career Services if uncertain about how to prepare a résumé.
An academic reference is required for all applications and the referee should be someone that can comment on the student's university-level academic work such as a professor or a teaching assistant (if from a TA, the reference form should be co-signed by the professor of the course). It is preferred that the referee be from a second-year course. The reference form must be signed and put in a sealed envelope.
*Tip: To increase the chances of having an academic provide students with a reference, consider putting together a small portfolio which might include the statement of interest, copies of graded essays/tests from that class, résumé, etc.
Academic Reference form (405KB)
Applicants are not required to obtain an official transcript from the Registrar's Office as the IPO office is able to access academic records for the application.

How do I get the nucleotide sequence that corresponds to the canonical UniProtKB sequence?
Last modified November 25, 2008
How do I get the nucleotide sequence that corresponds to the canonical UniProtKB sequence?
You cannot! Although almost 98% of the known protein sequences derive from DNA translation, there is no single nucleic acid reference sequence for a given UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot protein sequence.
The canonical protein sequence is the outcome of thorough curation work, which often involves the merge of various sequences encoded by the same gene (in one species). In the annotation process, the most correct amino acid sequences are chosen and discrepancies are analyzed and documented, most frequently in the 'Sequence annotation (Features)' section (in the flat file FT keys: VAR_SEQ, CONFLICT, VARIANT, ...). Additional information can be found in the 'Alternative products' and 'General annotation (Comments)' sections.
The annotated coding sequences (CDS) submitted to the EMBL-Bank/GenBank/DDBJ databases that show the most severe discrepancies with the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot canonical sequence are tagged in the 'Cross-references' section (EMBL-Bank/GenBank/DDBJ) as frameshifts, erroneous prediction, etc., with an optional comment in the 'General annotation (Comments)' section (subsection 'Sequence caution').
In most cases, in the absence of annotation of 'Sequence conflict', 'Variant', 'Alternative products', 'Sequence caution', etc., the nucleic acid sequences listed in the 'Cross-references' section, when translated, correspond to the canonical sequence, provided they are not fragments.
There are some exceptions. Some entries may display a full-length protein sequence, while the available nucleic acid sequences are only fragments. In this case, the manual annotation process comes into the picture: by combining the sequences of submitted fragmentary CDS and/or of the genomic sequence, taking into account the similarity with orthologous proteins (in a closely related species), one can predict the full-length protein sequence.
In addition, some entries exclusively contain protein sequence data resulting from direct protein sequencing and thus do not have cross-references to any nucleic acid sequence.
How do I get the nucleotide sequence that corresponds to the UniProtKB alternative sequences?
There is currently no way to directly find the nucleotide sequence that corresponds to the alternative protein sequences described in a UniProtKB entry.

It's not unusual for me to ride 2-3 hours and see perhaps five cars. If you've spend any time riding in and around larger cities, riding a bicycle in Yamhill county is heavenly. Like anything, you need to pick your spots. Highway 47 has perhaps the best shoulders of any road in the county and is more than adequate for cyclists and auto traffic.
I would agree that better shoulders on many roads would benefit everyone and unless I missed something, Oregon does still require that a portion of gasoline taxes be used to fund pedestrian and bicycling facilities. (see Oregon Bicycle Bill, 1971) Lobbying ODOT and Yamhill county to apply some of that funding towards improvements to the link roads like Meadow Lake and Westside road would be far more productive than trying to ban cyclists. Get real.
These people who wish to legislate every tiny aspect of human life should poke their heads outside the bubbles in which they live and observe the rest of us going about our lives sometime. That goes for you, too, Donovan J. Douglas. Please, oh please protect me from myself!
I drive a car and a pickup. Using the above logic, why should I have to pay taxes on both when I've already paid on one.....................?
I also ride a bicycle. My thought is that if there was a little more pro-active enforcement of traffic laws as they pertain to bicycles, and some, not all, but some bicyclists didn't act so entitled perhaps these arguments wouldn't arise.
Remember the nasty comments when bikes ran the stop sign in Amity and got a ticket? I was on the Ballston-Amity road that day and personally observed more than one group riding 3 and 4 abreast and refusing to get into a single file line so cars could safely get by. Since I'm on that road frequently, I can tell you that it is not an uncommon occurrence, especially when the coast rides and other rides that use that route to avoid 18 are going on.

Chemistry Education majors Patrick Gile, Shannon Courcelle, Ashley Maxner, and dual major in Chemistry/Meteorology Ian Axtell worked with students on activities exploring Green Chemistry. A parent of one of the children commented on how excited her child was after the visit. When her son arrived home, he immediately gathered materials he would need to reproduce one of the activities he learned on that day. She said, "He was chattering and jumping around the whole time, saying he was going to sell this product (if he could get it to smell better). He finally said, 'This is the find of the century! I'm a chemist! I made my first solution!' Looks like Chemistry Day was a big success!"

Town to Get £5 Million TV Revamp
By Amy Caulfield, PA News
A former mining town is set to receive a £5 million facelift in a new television makeover show, it emerged today.
Castleford in West Yorkshire will be the subject of a five-part series on Channel 4 in which expert architects and designers aim to revamp the town.
The programme, to be broadcast in 2005, is part of a larger regeneration scheme known as the Castleford Project which aims to achieve a long-term improvement in the quality of life in the town.
The Channel 4 show, which will include thousands of Castleford residents and experts such as English architect Sarah Wigglesworth, intends to revamp the town centre, build a new bridge across the River Aire, tidy up the overgrown, rubbish-filled river frontage and complete various community and environmental projects.
Castleford fell into decline when pit closures caused the number of mining jobs in the town to fall from 6,000 to 600 in 1997. Many of the remaining jobs will be lost next year with the closure of the Selby coalfield.

Librarian of Congress James H. Billington today announced that Billy Joel is the next recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
View and Submit Photos & Videos In The Billy Joel Tour Section!
With a set list spanning from 1973 ("Piano Man") to 1993 ("The River of Dreams"), Billy Joel's two exuberant hours shared with an all-ages Wrigley crowd were a testament to the Entertainer's staying power.
"Today I am your champion." Billy Joel sang those words in his 1974 hit "The Entertainer," and they ring true today as the Piano Man has emerged the victor of Newsday's "That's SO Long Island" tournament. After three weeks and more than 520,000 reader votes, Joel beat out 63 other local celebrities, foods, places and activities to be declared the most "Long Island" of them all.
Truly, I could draw you the best fishing routes off the coast of Long Island before I even set foot in New York (thank you, "The Downeaster 'Alexa'"). I was introduced to the complexities of dating beyond your station without the help of Jane Austen ("Uptown Girl," indeed). I still sprint to see Bizet's Carmen because it reminds me of "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant." And the first drink I ever ordered in a bar was a gin and tonic (though not a tonic and gin, as I'd first heard it in "Piano Man").

Rosalind Nyman Joel was born on February 15, 1922 in Brooklyn, New York, to Philip and Rebecca Nyman, who had emigrated from England. In a 1942 student musical production at City College of New York, she met Howard Joel, a German immigrant whose family had escaped Nazi Germany, in 1939. World War II would interrupt their courtship, but after Howard's service in the U.S. Army, he returned and they married in 1946. Their son William Martin Joel was born in May of 1949. Later, the family adopted Judy, daughter of Rosalind's late sister Muriel.
Billy Joel, dressed in a black suit and occasionally twirling a fly swatter between tickling the ivories, saw the crowd take note during "New York State Of Mind." After the brief homage to AC/DC's "Highway To Hell," which saw roadie Chainsaw also use a fire extinguisher, Joel began a steady stream of popular radio staples
It's time to decide the final four contestants in Newsday's "That's SO Long Island" tournament. Round 4 is now underway, and just eight of the contest's original 64 iconic local foods, celebrities, attractions and activities picked are still in the running to the claim the title.
For the final celebrity matchup, the Billies are battling it out. That's Billy Joel versus Billy Crystal. Which Billy are YOU going to vote for? Cast your votes at newsday.com/tsli.
Congratulations to Bayo Gale on the winning submission in our Creative Allies poster contest for Billy Joel's A Matter Of Trust: The Bridge To Russia. There were so many fantastic designs. Thank you to everyone for submitting and voting for your favorites!

SPOKANE, Wash. - The man who police say shot and injured two Spokane County Sheriff's deputies in North Spokane Tuesday was recently indicted on federal drug charges, according to our partners at The Spokesman-Review.
Charles R. Wallace was allegedly connected to a heroin distribution ring that investigators believe supplied at least 100 grams of the drug.
Read the report on Spokesman.com
Wallace was most recently charged with conspiracy to distribute a pound or more of heroin. He was arrested in April and had a status hearing on Monday for which he never showed up.
Wallace's criminal history is extensive.

The story of how Ugueth Urbina went to prison for attacking farm workers with a machete and gasoline has to be one of the most under reported stories of the past decade. The details were so vague, yet so incredibly violent and intruiging. The fact that the situation is so foreign makes it all the more riveting, all the more mind blowing. The entire incident seemed like it came from the pages of a long lost Peckinpah script.
Ugueth and a group of men attacked five workers with machetes. They then poured gasoline on them in an attempt to set them on fire. The entire incident was Peckinpahian to the core. It was the representative opposite, the calculated antithesis to the Hawksian hero. Peckinpah's men acted, but their motives were misguided.
When I first thought to write about the incident, I had the idea to frame it as a bit of narrative fiction. I wrote a few lines of generic exposition. I've deleted the original pieces, but the gist was Latin, generic Latin. I was kind of picturing the scene with the scorpion in Wild Bunch. I was picturing dust. I was making a caricature out of Ugueth. He was becoming a modern day General Santa Ana. He was becoming a mishmash of Latin stereotype.
Though the information about the incident is still insufficient, my apathetic internet search led me to his son. He signed in 2009. I imagine he is happy. There was a story recently that said something about Ugueth calling Francisco Rodriguez. He asked him to take care of his son for him. I imagine it was a short term thing. I think it had something to do with spring training.
It must be a messy business being Ugueth Urbina. I wish I knew more. I imagine his son misses him. I imagine they will communicate in some way this weekend. In this, we can hope. But there is still the mystery of the machete and the gasoline. There is still the element of the scorpion and the ants. I thought this might become a piece about fathers and sons, but it's wrapped in a ribbon of darkness. I guess I just wish I knew a little more about things that don't really make any sense.

Coolidge Parents Angry Over Lack of Notification on Asbestos Problem
8/22/2013 (Updated 10:44:50 PM)Parents speaking out Thursday night--concerned about how long asbestos was in the air at Calvin Coolidge elementary.
At a meeting with district officials, many expressed concern over how long the asbestos had been in the air at the building.
School officials say they found asbestos in the building on July 19th and immediately sealed off the area.
Yet, summer programs continued at the school. Officials say they went above and beyond what the state required, and when the tests revealed there was asbestos in the air, they immediately shut the school down.
Many parents were upset that the district waited until August to let them know the building was being tested for asbestos
"They found it on July 19th, no one ever notified us. I continued to send my son there day after day with no knowledge of what was going on. If I would have known then I feel like a letter should have been sent home and we should have been notified that day that this is a possibility and we are testing and we are looking into it and us as parents should of had the right to make the decision of whether we wanted to send our kids there or not," said Casey O'Dell, a parent of a Coolidge student.
The state said this week that the asbestos found in the school was
ruled a minimal risk to staff and students.
The school district says although December was pegged as the month of when students can return to their building, it could be much sooner. Students will be attending other schools in the district with their Coolidge teachers for the time being.

Gov. Robert Bentley's office announced the grant approval Monday.
The Jasper Water Works and Sewer Board has pledged $127,000 for the project.
The improvements consist of a 16-inch water pipe running along Industrial Parkway. They will ensure that two expanding companies — Fontaine Trailer Co. and AMTEX — will have sufficient water supply to meet manufacturing and fire protection needs.
Fontaine Trailer Co., which manufactures heavy-haul platform trailers, will create 100 jobs with its expansion. AMTEX, which produces carpet and interior trim for automobiles, will add 75 new jobs at its expansion site.
"New jobs not only demonstrate the success of a company, they also are a tribute to the workforce and community," Bentley said in a press release. "I congratulate these companies on their expansions and I am proud to support the efforts of community leaders to provide jobs for Alabamians."
Jasper Mayor Sonny Posey said that even though water board officials applied for the grant, it's great news for all of Jasper.
Funds from the Community Development Block Grant originate from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs determines which grant applications and projects to recommend for Bentley's approval.

The open source Ruby language, founded by developer Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto and released in 1995, has become a staple among programming languages. It has been used by companies like Twitter and serves as the basis of the popular Ruby on Rails Web application framework. The dynamic language, says IDC analyst Al Hilwa, is regarded as very elegant and capable, mostly in combination with Ruby on Rails. In developing Ruby, Matsuomoto blended parts of several languages -- including Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp -- to build a language with both functional and imperative programming capabilities.
In an interview with InfoWorld.com, Matsumoto cites his intention to make Ruby more prominent in mobile computing and details the history of the language.
[ The new Ruby on Rails 3.1 features full jQuery support and faster JavaScript execution. | Keep up with the latest developer news with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
InfoWorld: Why did you invent Ruby?
Matsumoto: Well, I was a programming guy since I was 15, and I have been always interested in programming languages in general. I majored in computer science and studied programming languages. After that, I really wanted my own programming language. In the beginning, it was mostly designed as a scripting language. Back in 1995, many people considered object-oriented programming too much for scripting. [But] I really wanted my programming language to be object-oriented.
InfoWorld: So you succeeded in combining object-oriented programming with scripting?
Matsumoto: Yes. It was quite remarkable at that time.
InfoWorld: Did you expect the kind of success that Ruby has had?
Matsumoto: Not at all.
InfoWorld: What features will be added to the Ruby language in the near future? What are your goals for the language moving forward?
Matsumoto: My goal is to make programmers happy. So currently, I think I was successful [at making] Web programmers happy. So I want to help more programmers, like in the embedding field -- the small-device programmers, or the high-performance computing programmers. Like supercomputers.
InfoWorld: So you want to extend Ruby to small devices and high-performance computing? Do you see that happening any time soon?
Matsumoto: I'm currently working on an alternative subset or dialect of Ruby for the small devices. I'm going to make it public early next year. Of course, mobile computing is the way to go, so that's one of the reasons I focus on the Ruby dialect working on the smaller devices.
InfoWorld: You think Ruby is going to make a big impact on smaller devices?
Matsumoto. I guess so, yes.
InfoWorld: What's the future for Ruby in cloud computing?
Matsumoto: The future is bright. One reason is that Ruby is very strong in the Web industry, and the cloud is a Web industry.
InfoWorld: What about Ruby for high-performance computing?
Matsumoto: A professor at the University of Tokyo has a government grant to research Ruby on high-performance computing, so I'm expecting his result.
InfoWorld: What are the main advantages of programming in Ruby?

Suns' Dudley: 'I want to be the solution, not the problem'
The Phoenix Suns have been unable to solve the woes that have plagued them for the majority of the season.
On the heels of head coach Alvin Gentry's remarks the team could be on the verge of a �youth movement', one of the Suns' veterans said he would like to be a part of any rebuilding phase in the Valley.
"I love playing basketball. I love doing that but there are not too many spots better than Phoenix," Jared Dudley told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show on Tuesday. "I know we're not doing well. I am a guy that likes to stick through the situation through the highs and lows. When we turn it around hey �I was here through the bad, I was here through the good' and I want to be the solution not the problem."
Part of rebuilding a winning brand is bringing in younger talent and a fresh perspective. The Suns are an aging bunch and currently the 12th-oldest team in the NBA.
Dudley is realistic he could be part of trade discussions to help the team obtain pieces for the future but the Suns' swingman said he understands trade speculation is also part of the game.
"You have to get yourself a value and a brand in this NBA and I see that and with that makes more money but also could be more value for a trade and I see that," Dudley said.
Despite the team's current struggles, Dudley believes the Suns do possess a few solid players who could provide long-term value moving forward.
"We have nice pieces to build on," Dudley said. "I think that somebody like myself, I am a guy who can start on this team but yet if they brought in some big time players I could easily be a sixth man. I think I am versatile.
"You've got Marcin Gortat who is a young big man who his shot-blocking has improved. He needs to work on his post moves but he's someone who can get you a double-double. You've got someone like young [Dragic] who's now kind of turning over the face of the franchise, trying to be groomed as a point guard who's been in Phoenix and Houston who definitely needs to develop."
The Suns hold the second-worst record in the Western Conference and find themselves 8.5 games out of the final playoff spot.
Dudley thinks with a few key additions the team may not be far away from getting back on the winning track.
"You've got three good core pieces and you've got a lot of first round picks, you've got a lot of stuff to work with," Dudley stated. "We haven't put it all together this year and some of it has to do with nine new guys and different stuff but you definitely have areas where you can make this happen and I think free agency and draft the Phoenix Suns will be back hopefully at the top where they once were."

CHICKASHA – In their last regular season home game, the Drover men came in with a ninth conference win to continue undefeated in the Sooner Athletic Conference with the shutout of Southern Nazarene on Tuesday afternoon.The Drovers fought a tough battle but spent most of the game on the attack, outshooting their opponents 30-7. USAO, however, had a hard time finding the net until Perry Sansford scored in the 70th minute of the game. Chris Lee had the assist in that play.
CHICKASHA – The Drover women had a tough time against the Southern Nazarene Crimson Storm, who remain undefeated in the Sooner Athletic Conference.After giving up two quick goals, the Drovers responded with two goals in eight minutes to tie to the game before halftime.

(WMC-TV) - A 15-year-old who was a freshman at Melrose High School was shot outside a Memphis church while riding his bike Monday. This is the second time a teenager has been shot time in a matter of weeks.
Memphis police issued an arrest warrant for an 18-year-old suspect in last week's shooting of a 15 year-old girl. Meanwhile, Tuesday's shooting may already be solved.
Mount Olive Baptist Church at Spottswood Avenue and Pendleton Street in Orange Mound drew a massive crowd Monday afternoon.
Hundreds watched as police began investigating the murder of a 15-year-old boy in the middle of the street.
Friends and family identified the victim as Carderius Webb, known in the neighborhood as "Lil' Dude". He was shot and killed while riding his bicycle.
"He always be by himself riding his bike. And to see something like this, you know I got kids, it really scares you," said family friend Desi Riley.
Memphis Police took a woman into custody shortly after the shooting. There was no information about a possible motive.
Neighbors said the woman lives in a house right across the street from the church.
It appeared multiple shots were fired by judging by the bullet casings marked by little yellow signs.
"I know him from the neighborhood, he was a good child, he wasn't bad at all, and he was respectful," said family friend Rodney Wooten.
Fellow Melrose students said Webb played football in middle school, and was well known throughout the Orange Mound community.
The principal at Melrose High School sent an email to staff informing them of Webb's murder.
He said grief counselors will be on hand Tuesday, along with heightened security.

Paul, buy it! The new cams will be more expansive. I was thinking about this for months to add it to my 5DIII and 7D as a small back-up and always in the bag solution but it was too expansive. Now I got it in Austria for 390 euro including the 18-55 and the flash. That is really a bargain. I like it a lot. It is very well made. it makes fantastic pics (better than the 7D) and I have no problems with the focus in normal (not sport or wildlife) situations. It works very good with my EF collection from the 8-15 fisheye to the 500mm plus 1.4x. Buy it and be happy. Cheers
I have my old camcorder on ebay just now, if it sells I'll be straight to the EOS M shop! Current prices very good and I love the form of the camera with the pancake.

I have been trying my best to get these eyes straight and right and cant do it - I have tried many times in Photoshop and for some reason it just doesn't look right. So I am going to throw this at you all, and see if someone can get these eyes straight and like it should look for eyes. If you want to give it a try I can send the original to you. Let me know.

From a quick glance, perhaps the sclera of her left eye, closest to bridge of nose, should be not so bright. And looking again, maybe my imagination, but the (her) left side of her face seems slightly larger than the right. I realize most faces are asymmetric but this seems accented, perhaps in part by coloring and shading.
Don't know if GoogleDrive works for all - I have an account, maybe Doug does not?

Looking at her lower eyelid, it seems as the lighting (assumed Rembrandt effort) has caught a bit more of the eye than just the classic triangle on the cheekbone, giving an uneven illumination to the eye itself as the there is now a key/shadow area cutting through her pupil.
While this appears to be the cause ... the fix that I've tried is to reduce the gamma and exposure for that portion of the eye (near bridge) to better match the farther side so that here left eye better appears to be equally illuminated rather than split down the middle by key/shadow.
In addition to the sclera itself (1st image), I pulled back on the lower eyelid and the bright spot just below it. I also pulled back a bit just below the brow (far side) to try and suggest a more even illumination that doesn't compete for attention with the "triangle". Not dialed in real well, but hopefully you get the gist.

An asymmetrical lighting pattern on a nose-at-camera symmetrical full face view makes a face seem lopsided. The darker the shadows the greater the imbalance perceived. It is one of many optical illusions seen in portrait lighting.
A skilled portrait photographer can use it to make an asymmetrical face look more balanced by putting the key light on the naturally narrower side then adjusting the lighting ratio / shadow tone by eye until balance between the left and right sides looks "right".
"Short" lighting (45 degrees to the side OF NOSE and 45 degrees above eye line)on an oblique view creates a similar illusion because the brain focuses the most attention on the highlighted front "mask" of the face. It's asymmetry (facial angle hides one side of face) + asymmetry (shadows of lighting pattern hide the other side) = symmetrical looking front of the face.
Here we have a very symmetrical face looking lopsided by a poor choice of pattern and ratio. Centered pattern would look more symmetrical on her face. Lighter shadows would be more flattering and a better match to the body language of the expression inviting eye contact.
Read my tutorials on facial analysis at:
The fact the catchlights are at 9 o clock is is also a reason the eyes don't seem to look "right" copy/paste and rotate each eye separately to put catchlight at 10 o clock and compare. Raise bare arm is also a distraction from the face and like the lighting strategy works against the symmetry of the pose.
It's a nice shot, but the perceptual pieces of the puzzle aren't a good match. That's why it doesn't look "right" subconsciously. I just understand what clues trigger that subconscious reaction. Just part of the learning curve I've just helped you leapfrog up...

Chuck makes a good point at yet another aspect of how being a good portrait photographer (which I'm not) is so much more than most people would give credence to. I suspect if she wasn't looking square on at us, it wouldn't seem as noticeable like Bob mentioned as well.
Blending the technical aspects and the people aspects is no small feat. Personally, I come up short on both aspects relative to portraiture ... I've still not fully grasped short/broad lighting of classic portrait lighting (or much else @ portraiture) so I shoot railroad tracks and pretzels.
Curious to hear Karen's take on this as well. Not sure if she has some portrait PP magic (like thinify, etc.) that could help here or not.

Here's a quick edit in which I lightened the shadows overall with a middle slider levels correction then selectively lightened the nose and other shadows where you side fill got shaded with by the cheekbone with cloning off a brighter skin area. I also rotated the catchlights as I suggested.
Please understand this edit is not a suggestion to fix this one after the fact
but rather a suggestion for a more flattering lighting strategy to try next time by moving the key light around towards the front of the face more and using more fill. If you center the fill just under the camera lens you'll avoid very harsh unfilled areas around the nose (fill shaded by cheekbone) and the dark mouth and teeth. Fill needs to reach everything the camera sees to avoid harsh unfilled areas like that in the lighting pattern:
When you approach lighting it can be with the goal of "I want to do a Rembrandt pattern" or "I want to look at the shape of the face and find the most flattering combination of light angle, camera angle and fill ratio". Neither is good nor bad, right or wrong, just different. Set your goal, define criteria for success, then use the criteria to determine if what you tried worked or not.
So if your goal was to do a Rembrandt the original is a success, but I think she's flattered more without the harsh dark shadows. As mentioned I also think she'd be flattered more with a centered pattern. Next time try both and the oblique/short lit combination and decide for yourself by comparison which flatters her most.

Taking RustyBug's crop, applying liquify filter to (her) left side of face, adding gradient in LR4 and backing down sclera another approach - did not fiddle with colors...
Dont' know if this improves or not.

I think the biggest reason that the eyes seem different sizes is due to inconsistent application of the eye make-up. Some of it may also be due to the high-reflectivity nature of that under-eye makeup and how it responds differently on the lit and unlit portions of the face, but it really looks to me like the undereyes were made-up differently. Here is an animated GIF that I think shows how much of an effect this has:
The smaller catchlight in the eye on the right I think also contributes to the perception of that eye being smaller. I didn't correct that in the GIF. I don't see how re-positioning the catchlights changes the perception at all. Moving the light when the photo was taken would have changed things but I don't see what moving the orientation of the catchlight achieves in post.

Here is one final go. I think I actually used Kent's edit for my previous example. Here is one with the original crop that Kent posted without his edits.
I did three primary things:
1. Adjusted the under-eye make-up as in my previous example. I copy pasted the under-eye from her right eye to her left and blended it in with a combination of Curves, masking, and opacity.
2. I darkened the bright line in her make-up above the eye.
3. I lightened up and extended her left eyebrow.
I also reduced the brightness of the catchlight in her left eye a tiny bit.
I didn't use Liquify or otherwise change the size of the eye.
Her head is slightly tilted. Rotating the image slightly would probably help correct any remaining impression that the eyes are crooked.

Not to diminish or discourage the retouching efforts by those who don't understand the cause and effect of portrait lighting to the degree I do. The OP should recognize that despite the improvements due to PP, other than cloning out the areas of shaded fill there's no way to fix the root cause of the problem making the lighting harsh and unflattering in this shot: the harsh darker shadow on the nose vs. the one on the side of the face.
Here it isn't a function of the Rembrandt lighting pattern or key light modifier size and wrap, it's due to the fact the shot appears to have been filled with a reflector on the right placed behind the face which was shaded on the right side of the nose and on the right corner of the mouth by the cheek. The upper cheek and lips are shading the fill in the mouth.
Sometimes there is no good way to fix poor lighting decisions in PP. All you can do is learn from them and not repeat the same mistakes next time. To get fill into those areas on the front of the face the fill source must be in front of the face. Fill the shadows with a centered fill source (second flash) THEN add the reflector on the side to nuance them. That's what I did here:
I stood on a stool with camera lens just under the dish "key" light with centered fill coming from the SB with a round mask below attached to the same stand. Two Larson reflectors bounced the key and fill back into the sides for a "kicker" effect. There is a fourth light hidden behind the mat board (to kill spill) lighting the background. I don't have space for two background lights on the sides so I fix white backgrounds in PP.

The C-Peptide Blood Test And How It Could Save Your Life
Do you believe that there is one simple blood test that could prevent a person from developing type 2 diabetes? Well, there is. It is called a C-Peptide blood test and will give you an idea as to how much insulin you make. If the results indicate there are above normal amounts of insulin circulating in your blood, this may be a sign that your body has become resistant to the effects of insulin, thereby causing your pancreas to start overproducing insulin to compensate. The idea here is that if a normal amount of insulin can't get the job done then maybe more will.
You see before insulin is insulin, it is proinsulin, a long chain of carbon atoms with various attachments. When this long chain is cleaved into two shorter chains, one half of the resulting chain is called a C-peptide and the other is referred to as insulin. There should be a 1:1 ratio between the two. By measuring the C-peptide chains in the blood you can determine the amount of insulin.
In the vast majority of those people that develop type 2 diabetes, an over production of insulin, or hyperinsulinemia, precedes the under production of insulin when blood sugar levels begin to rise, eventually reaching abnormally high levels characteristic of type 2 diabetes.
It is realistic to believe that if elevated levels of insulin in the blood, hyperinsulinemia, could be identified sometime before the insulin producing beta cells begin to fatigue and stop working, and steps could be taken to reduce insulin levels in the blood to more normal levels, then maybe the development of type 2 diabetes could be diverted.
It can justifiably be argued that everybody should have a C-Peptide test at regular intervals to see if they are elevated. If so, patients could be counseled early as to how they may modify risk factors (their lifestyle) such that the progression to type 2 diabetes may be halted. Once my patients learn the pathophysiology of their diabetes, many are quick to ask why they never had a C-peptide performed, thinking as I have just written, "If I had known I was developing a problem maybe I could have done something about it before so many of my beta cells quit working and now have diabetes which I can never get rid of."
Consider that two major studies, the Da Quang study and the Finnish study both demonstrated that with appropriate lifestyle interventions over half of the participants studied that were on their way to developing type 2 diabetes had their blood sugar levels drop back into the normal ranges.
I encourage people that have family members or close blood relatives with type 2 diabetes to ask their doctors to perform a C-Peptide blood test every so often to see if insulin levels are elevated. I also encourage people that are somewhat overweight (even as little as 10-15 pounds) and get little to no exercise request this simple blood test from their doctor.
I am not being dramatic when I say it may provide the "heads up" that could save your life.

Bengals wideout Chad Ochocinco actually scored in Cincinnati's win over Green Bay yesterday, burying both the promise of the Packers' offense and my chances in the With Leather suicide pool. But Ochocinco said that he'd execute the famed "Lambeau Leap" if he found the endzone Sunday, and execute he did.
We're looking for a sharper image, but even here you can make out the enterprising young Packers' fan who decided to send a message to the rest of the football-watching world. It's good to know that some people out there will tell you that you're No. 1. It's pretty tame compared to what he could have done, but I appreciate the fact that he came up with something on the fly. I'm a sucker for improv.

The Jackfish Projects target bitumen reserves in formations that are too deep to access from the surface through open-pit mines, and too heavy to be brought to the surface with conventional oil wells and pumps used for producing light crude oil. Instead, a well-developed and commercially proven technology called Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage, or SAGD, is being used for the projects. SAGD is considered the leading thermal heavy oil recovery technology in the Athabasca Oil Sands.
The SAGD process uses well "pairs" - a steam-injection well and a production well. Steam is injected into the oil sands formation through the first well. The heat liquefies the bitumen, which allows it to flow to the production well, located beneath the steam-injection well. The bitumen, along with the condensed water from the steam, flows to the surface wellhead.
At the surface, the bitumen is sent by an above-ground pipeline to a central processing facility where water, gas and impurities are removed.
A diluent is added to keep the bitumen in liquid form so that it can be pumped through pipelines to market.
Devon continues to investigate opportunities for technological improvements through research, funding and peer collaboration.

Let's start this week's Chatter in Washington D.C.
Wednesday morning U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a Georgia Republican who represents part of Columbus, took to the House well to honor U.S. Army Rangers, specifically those in and attached to the 3rd Ranger Battalion wounded and killed in an Oct. 6 attack in Panjwai in southern Afghanistan. Westmoreland remembered the Fort Benning-based soldiers who were killed -- Sgt. Joseph Peters, Pfc. Cody Patterson, Sgt. Patrick Hawkins and 1st Lt. Jennifer M. Moreno.
Westmoreland said once these soldiers pass through Fort Benning they become Georgians.
The congressman also spoke about Cpl. Josh Hargis, who was injured in the blast. Hargis made international headlines when he mustered a salute for a commander pinning the Purple Heart on his hospital bed blanket. Those at the small hospital ceremony thought Hargis was unconscious.
"It shows the strong character of the American soldier," Westmoreland said. " This is the heart of a warrior. This is America. We need not apologize to anyone for our strength or greatness."
At a time when some places are cutting staffing and many people are on vacation, one L-E staffer found a place to eat that should be praised.
Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches is a chain that has two locations in Columbus -- one on Woodruff Road and one on Macon Road.
After standing in our fair share of restaurant lines, the Jimmy John's on Macon Road completed this staffer's order before I even walked down to fill my drink cup.
When I complimented them on their fast work, the manager said they were two staffers down.
Guess their slogan "Freaky Fast Delivery" works inside the restaurant, too. Keep up the good work!
Speaking of good work
Kudos to the creative staff
members in the Schwob Memorial Library at Columbus State University. The newsletters they hang in the library restrooms are called "InSTALLments."
The Columbus area has seen its fair share of home break-ins and burglaries this year. And local police have made good strides in nabbing some of the perpetrators in recent weeks.
But Royce Ard knows it's a problem that won't be solved entirely anytime soon. That's why the owner of The Right Hand Man, a local handyman service, a few months ago decided to do something about it.
The Columbus resident became a distributor of EZ Armor, which secures doors with the installation of a few simple metal plates and longer screws. A video on the Armor Concepts website shows a stoutly built police officer trying to kick in the door of an abandoned home being used as a test site with the EZ Armor installed. But the door doesn't budge.
Is it foolproof? Probably not. But that's not the bottom line point. "The criminals are going to go to the easiest opportunity," Ard said. "The folks that are getting door armor are taking away that ease, and I think they'll be better protected for that."
Ard also said aside from a good business product, offering the door armor gives him personal satisfaction. "That's a very small job that we do," he said. "But being able to go protect an elderly person's home by providing a little higher level of security to them is real important to us."
