Clear Day Rosters
Hey does anybody know anything about these clear day rosters in he AHL? I was looking on the Worcester Sharks website and it says that Jack Combs and James Sheppard are among the four people that will not be able to play unless ther are 3 callups/injuries or suspensions. Why would the Sharks developement team not want to play they're best goal scorer in Combs and a player that clearly needs some developing in James Sheppard off they're roster for the rest of the year?

I took a pic last evening of the crescent moon and caught the planet mercury. I admit my camera is not the best for catching the smallest planet. But some pretty cool viewing on clear nights this time of year. Just look low in the sky after sunset...you will catch part of the Moon...and Mercury will pop up beneath the Moon.
In the Northern Hemisphere... February is a great time to catch Mercury. Without an atmosphere, Mercury heats up to +800 degrees or greater during the day but temps drop well below zero at night. You can still view Mercury after sunset until very early in June.

Cost of Medicare - Understanding Your Out-of-Pocket Expenses in 2013
You can expect to have out-of-pocket costs as a Medicare beneficiary. Those Medicare costs come in a variety of forms and can be impacted by a variety of factors. This article should help you understand what you can expect to pay based on your individual circumstances.
Let's begin by defining the different forms of Medicare costs that you may experience.
- Premium - The amount you pay each month to be covered by the Medicare plan
- Deductible - The amount you pay out of your own pocket for health care products and services before your plan begins to cover expenses
- Copayment - A flat dollar amount (for example, $20) that you must pay for a service after your Medicare plan begins to cover your health care expenses. This is one form of "cost-sharing" under the plan.
- Coinsurance - Another form of cost-sharing, this is a percentage of the total cost of the product or service. You usually pay the smaller portion. For example, you might pay 20 percent while your Medicare plan pays 80 percent of the cost.
There are also maximums that both you and the Medicare insurance plan might pay.
- Annual maximum - The maximum amount you must pay out of your own pocket each year before the plan pays 100 percent of your covered health care expenses
- Plan maximum - The maximum amount of coverage provided by the insurance plan
All of these Medicare costs and maximums can vary from plan to plan. Let's explore how those Medicare costs apply to each different type of Medicare coverage.
Cost of Medicare Part A
Medicare Part A is hospital insurance. Most people do not pay a premium for Medicare Part A. Once you have accumulated 40 Social Security credits (that means you have paid Social Security employment taxes for 40 or more quarters) you do not have to pay a Medicare Part A premium. Those who did not accumulate 40 Social Security credits will pay either $243 per month (30 to 39 credits) or $441 per month (0 to 29 credits). High-income individuals may also pay a premium regardless of accumulated credits.
Medicare Expenses for Part A
- Inpatient hospital deductible - $1,184
- Inpatient hospital coinsurance - After you have paid your deductible, Medicare pays 100% of costs for your first 60 days in the hospital. After that, your out-of-pocket costs are $296 per day for days 61 through 90; and $592 per day for days 91 through 150. There is no coverage under Medicare Part A for more than 150 days as a hospital inpatient.
- Skilled nursing facility coinsurance - You pay $148 per day for days 21 through 100. You pay all costs before and after that period.
- Psychiatric hospital costs are the same as inpatient costs. The difference is the plan's coverage limit of up to 190 days over your lifetime.
- Home health care - You pay only 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for medical equipment. Medicare pays all other costs.
- Hospice Care - You pay $5 for prescription drugs and 5% per day of the Medicare-approved amount up to $1,184 total.
Cost of Medicare Part B
The Medicare Part B premium will be $104.90 for 2013. However, most people will continue to pay either $99.90 or $115.40. There are also state Medicaid programs that allow low-income beneficiaries to not pay anything at all for Medicare Part B. Some late enrollees may pay a penalty in the form of a higher premium and high-income individuals may pay more as well.
Cost sharing under Medicare Part B
- Annual deductible - You pay $147 before Medicare Part B benefits begin.
- Physician coinsurance - You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount. You may pay more if your doctor does not accept Medicare.
- Preventive care services - Certain preventive care is covered 100% percent by Medicare. Services that do not fall under this category follow the physician coinsurance provisions (above).
- Outpatient hospital care - You pay up to $1,184 maximum.
- Lab tests - You pay nothing. Medicare covers all covered lab expenses.
- Medical equipment and supplies - Medicare pays up to 80% of the approved amount. You pay the rest. Note that the Medicare approved amount can be less than the actual charge, so you could pay more than 20% of the total cost.
- Outpatient mental health services - You pay 45% of the approved amount.
- Partial hospitalization for mental health services - After you meet a deductible of $1,184, Medicare pays 100 percent of covered expenses for the first 60 days of outpatient and partial hospitalization services. For days 61 through 90, you pay $296 per day. For days 91 through 150, you pay $592 per day. Medicare does not cover more than 150 days of mental health services in a year.
Cost of Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage)
Medicare Part C (also called Medicare Advantage) plans are provided by private insurance companies; thus the premiums and cost-sharing provisions vary from plan to plan. Study the plan documents (which you can get from the specific insurance company offering the plan) and compare them with what is covered and how much you would pay out of pocket against Medicare Parts A, B and/or D for the typical health care expenses that you expect to experience in a given year. Remember to count the monthly premium.
Medicare Advantage plans come with different benefits and coverage so Medicare expenses vary. Some have high deductibles while others have no deductible. Copayments and coinsurance amounts can vary as well. In fact, some plans may require you to go to doctors and hospitals that participate in the plan's health care provider network in order to be covered at all. Other plans allow you the freedom to go anywhere for services to be covered. Still others might cover services at different levels depending on whether you went to a network doctor or if you went outside the network. All Medicare costs and rules are outlined in the documentation you will get from the insurance company.
Medicare Expenses for Part D
Medicare Part D coverage is sometimes included within Medicare Part C plans; however, private insurance companies also offer separate Part D prescription drug plans. You generally pay a separate premium as well as the outlined deductibles, copayments and/or coinsurance. Low-income beneficiaries can apply for Extra Help, which can help pay those out-of-pocket costs for your prescription drugs, including the monthly premium for the plan.
Medicare costs under Part D usually include a coverage gap - or doughnut hole - which occurs after the plan has paid its maximum coverage amount and before you've paid your maximum out-of-pocket costs. This gap doesn't apply to those who qualify for Extra Help. But it can mean rather large out-of-pocket costs for those who take costly prescription drugs every day to control more serious health conditions.
By submitting this form, you agree that a licensed sales agent may contact you to discuss the specific types of products listed above and you
acknowledge that you have read and understand PlanPrescriber's Terms and Conditions.
Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called "Part C" or "MA Plans," are offered by private companies approved by Medicare and provide Medicare Part A and Part B coverage. Medicare prescription drug coverage is insurance run by an insurance company or other private company approved by Medicare. A Medicare Supplement plan is a health insurance plan provided by a private company that fills in the "gaps" in original Medicare coverage.

If you are currently attending our Everyday Life Series of courses, the key difference between the Everyday Life series and the Basic Goodness series is that the Everyday Life classes emphasize personal transformation in everyday life while the Basic Goodness Courses emphasize the experiential study of view and meaning.
The Basic Goodness Series is comprised of 3 courses
How can I help? The Basic Goodness of Society
The second course asks the question, "How can I help?" and explores our relationships with others, an aspiration to help our world, and specific aspects of social transformation. We look at a Shambhala understanding of society, and what enlightened society may be. Is society something that is ultimately confused, or is there goodness in human society? The course focuses on transforming four aspects of society: relations with family (household), professional life, entertainment, and economy. We learn the traditional mahayana practice of "sending and taking" (tong len).

Network virtualization platforms distribute network services into the vSwitch to form a logical pipeline of services applied to virtual network traffic. Third-party network services can be inserted into this logical pipeline, allowing physical or virtual services to be consumed in the logical pipeline.
A powerful benefit of the network virtualization approach is its ability to build policies that leverage service insertion, chaining, and steering to drive service execution in the logical services pipeline based on the result of other services, making it possible to coordinate otherwise completely unrelated network security services from multiple vendors.
For example, VMware's integration with Palo Alto Networks uses the VMware NSX platform to distribute the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series next-generation firewall, making the advanced features locally available on each hypervisor. Network security policies, defined for applications workloads provisioned or moved to that hypervisor, are inserted into the virtual network's logical pipeline. At runtime, the service insertion leverages the locally available Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall feature set to deliver and enforce application, user, and context-based controls policies at the workload's virtual interface.
Consistent security models across physical and virtual infrastructure
Network virtualization provides a platform that allows automated provisioning and context-sharing across virtual and physical security platforms. Partner services traditionally deployed in a physical network environment are easily provisioned and enforced in a virtual network environment, which delivers a consistent model of visibility and security across applications residing on either physical or virtual workloads.
Traditionally, this level of network security would have forced network and security teams to choose between performance and features. Leveraging the ability to distribute and enforce the advanced feature set at the application's virtual interface delivers the best of both.
The infrastructure maintains policy, allowing workloads to be placed and moved anywhere in the data center without manual intervention. Pre-approved application security policies can be applied programmatically, enabling self-service deployment of even complex network security services.
As more data centers adopt network virtualization and move toward the software-defined data center, we'll see a broad range of traditional security solutions that leverage the unique position of the network virtualization platform in the hypervisor. Detailed knowledge of VMs and application process owners, combined with automated provisioning speed and operational efficiency, is the foundation for an exciting new approach to some very old challenges.

Giant sequoia trees 2
The World > North America > USA > California
Mariposa Grove is a sequoia grove located near Wawona, California, USA, in the southernmost part of Yosemite National Park. It is the largest grove of Giant Sequoias in the park, with several hundred mature examples of the tree. Two of its trees are among the 25 largest Giant Sequoias in the world.
The Mariposa Grove was first visited by non-natives in 1857 when Galen Clark and Milton Mann found it.They named the grove after Mariposa County, California, where the grove resides.[1]
The Giant Sequoia named Grizzly Giant is between probably 1900-2400 years old: the oldest tree in the grove.[2] In 1932, it was claimed to be the fifth largest (by volume) tree in the world, but other trees were subsequently found to be larger; it currently has a volume of 34,010 cubic feet (963 m3), only the 25th largest. It is 210 feet (64 m) tall, and has a heavily buttressed base with a basal circumference of 28 m (92 ft) or a diameter of 30 feet (9.1 m); above the buttresses at 2.4 m above ground, the circumference is only 23 m. Grizzly Giant's first branch from its base is itself 2 m (6 ft) in diameter.
Another tree, the Wawona Tree, had a tunnel wide enough for horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles to drive through, cut through it in the nineteenth century. Weakened by this large opening at its base, the tree fell down in 1969.
Abraham Lincoln signed an Act of Congress on June 30, 1864 ceding the "Mariposa Big Tree Grove" (and Yosemite Valley) to the state of California; criticism of the stewardship over the land led to the state returning the grove to federal control upon establishment of Yosemite National Park.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

The Republican House and Democratic Senate debates rival congressional redistricting plans. With just two working days left before time expires, there was no sign the parties have agreed on how to redraw lines as required after every census.
Both parties talked up their plans as best. The GOP wants only minor adjustments to a map that gives them a 4-3 U.S. House advantage over Democrats. Democrats, meanwhile, argue for more competitive districts in which either party has a chance.
"We are trying not to do violence to the existing map," said Republican Rep. David Balmer, leading a House debate over the GOP plan.
A few hours later, Democrats stressed their own points in a debate that stretched late into the night.
Democratic Sen. Gail Schwartz argued that voters who attended public hearings want new lines to give either side a shot and produce more-moderate lawmakers.
"They wanted to be in a competitive district where their votes actually matter," Schwartz said.
Even as both sides debated their maps, legislative leaders spent much of the day huddled behind closed doors trying to craft a compromise. If lawmakers can't agree by Wednesday, lawmakers face a special session or a lawsuit because the districts must be adjusted to account for population changes.
Political competitiveness isn't a new debate in Colorado, where lawmakers haven't been able to agree on new lines for at least 30 years.
Last decade, when Colorado gained one new member of Congress because of population growth, a Denver district court judge picked a map that gave Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters nearly equal representation in the new district.
This time around, both parties argue they have legal precedent to push their plans through in court.
That scenario appears inevitable. A bipartisan panel set up to broker a map both sides could agree on was abandoned weeks ago, and even lawmakers who last week argued compromise is still possible seemed ready to throw in the towel Monday.
"It was infinitely more difficult than any of us could have imagined" to agree on a map, concluded the Democrats' lead Senate negotiator, Sen. Rollie Heath of Boulder.
On that count, Republicans agreed that the bipartisan effort was naive.
"It looks like the committee is going to fail in its work and this is going to end up in court," Republican Sen. Mark Scheffel said.

Students Show Dramatic Improvement on Fitness Test
Posted: December 10, 1999
Forty percent of West Virginia students taking the President's Physical Fitness Test in 1998-99 qualified for recognition, according to State Superintendent Dr. Henry Marockie.
"West Virginia has made tremendous improvement in the fitness level of its students," Dr. Marockie said. "This progress occurred because of the quality of our physical education instructors and a greater emphasis on overall fitness by schools."
According to Dr. Marockie, 40 percent of the 225,000 West Virginia students taking the test during the 1998-99 school year qualified for the Health Fitness, National or Presidential recognition levels, compared to just 17 percent five years ago.
Doddridge County, with 63 percent of its students qualifying for recognition, was the top performing county in the state. Hardy and Randolph counties showed the greatest one-year improvement. Each county reported a 14 percent improvement in students who qualified for recognition.
"We've made tremendous progress in the past five years, but we have room to improve," Dr. Marockie explained. "We can help children enjoy longer and healthier lives by encouraging them to be active."

JANESVILLE (WKOW) -- A shopping option in Janesville is closing its doors.
The J.C. Penney store is shutting down.
The retailer is closing 33 stores across the country by early May.
Four other locations in Wisconsin will be shuttered -- in Fond du Lac, Rhinelander, Rice Lake and Wausau.
Overall, 2,000 jobs will be cut. 71 employees in Janesville will be affected.
J.C. Penney says it is closing under performing stores and it will save about $65 million a year due to the moves.

I don't often write FR unless I think I really need to clear my thoughts, or the night hit a new level worth sharing.I just felt like diarying a diffrent experiance sarging with some local pua new guys.
FR:meeting beginner pua guys in local area
Few days ago I get someone mailing me from the attraction forums. Some guy named Diablo2 (his avatar) wanted to hook up for a sarge.
I meet up with him Wednesday night at a pub bar with one of my ussual wings AnddeeeeUK. He arrives we chat genereal background stuff. First impression of 'diablo2' is he's a nice guy - average looking, very intelligent and up to date on basic beginner pua material.
He says 2 other new guys from the forum 'analogy' and 'Sal' arrive. They arrive in midst of another group, like a horde a large buffalo beefy blokes. These buffalo men are 'analogy' friends who are just out around with him. Analogy makes a big impression by sitting in 'diablo2' seat when he went up to introduce them to me and AnddeeeUk. Sal sits on the side and side talks the interaction keenly. First impression of 'Analogy' was a rowdy loud, nice bloke at heart. First impression of Sal was nice and smiley and a bit anxious and overwhelmed by meeting lots of random strangers.
We chode around talking in a bar, which is realitvely empty with girls and knew we had to begin. When the introducing was done, analogy departs from his buffalo herd of beefy men and we head off on a mini mission of unknowingness.
The night is dead, very few students are back from Easter. Though my moto is 'game anywhere, game anytime' I want to head to the location most dense with girls to increase our chances - so I'm keen on going to a club called Elements.
AndeeeUk doesn't feel like going to elements as its a club scene and he feels like a chill out trendy bar scene, I'm flexible so I agree. We walk half way across town, to a couple of chill out bars in town but as expected, they are dead . Defeated everyone is sucked into the only place remotely alive tonight and that was to fall back to elements.
During this mini escalade around town, my further impressions of the guys are:
Analogy - very rowdy and lad like, very in the moment and was saying alot of rowdy remarks from the top of his head - which some people can take offense too, but i know its more banter. He says he's read some Carlos xuma - secrets of an alpha male, and David Deiodra - way of the superior man, and claims he gets alot of his alphaness from that.
Sal - nice guy we talk about things in general.
Diablo2 - very keen and enthusiastic to witness some gaming and humourously tells Analogy to put his 'money where his mouth is' (some action).
AndeeeUk - always smiling, always having a laugh, very contageous. Kinda guy you can just get on and feel comfortable with and have a laugh whoever you are.
We end up in a queue outside, Elements. Analogy leaves to catch up with his buffalo friends in another club and may see us later.
In the club, I felt like a chode, I wasn't in state. Tyler screaming in my head, you know your not in state - but just "go" , if its awakard then "hahahha its awakard, deal with it". but just "go'.
I take a moment to myself to sit on my own to try and change my state from friendly get to know guys state, to focus my mind on how I generally feel gaming state and feel more sexul predator and start to really take notice of lots of lovely boobies booping around the club.
The guys come back, I feel more pysched to make something happen. I'm not use to guys following me around on the sarge, so I decide to go solo, then , see 2 girls from behind standing, boom, from behind in the middle. "hay guys, blah blah", really didn't matter because they said their english is real bad and they find it hard to understand what i say. They are from Slovakia and as always with foriegn girls where I feel languge is a blow out barrier or I've lost the set, I always humour myself by saying something jibberish. Laugh, compliment smile. Exit. Warm up I feel good.
I stand with the guys, like a bunch of chodes, standing in a circle drink waist height, having no real group fun, waiting for something magical to happen. For average looking Joes, never happens. Been there.
But this is where I like AndeeeUk is always fun to be with. He's always in his own little party talking to guys and has this fun jolly happy aura, keeping the guys comfortble.
I see a black guy, tap this young hb6 barbie blonde dirty girl snogging, bum revealing party animal on the shoule. Like alot of black guys in club, they have this gangster powerful magnetic aura, in the club they do their wiggle and without saying very little, its on. I witness this 'tap' then he walks away and does this alpha finger reel in monouere with only 99% confidence belief (as n.Tim would say), which everyone has witness or tried before, to get her to go to him. But she doesn't, haa and he walks away. I try the same, but 100% belief, but nope, didn't work, she was to fullfilled with her tonsil snogging girlfriend.
I set Diablo2 to open a couple of girls, hes keen and babe thirsty - I like it. I tell him some basic indirect non threatening openers and transitions that will work for this situation and tell him to try to last in set as long as possible. He starts walking, no turning back. Diablo2 job is a chiropractor, so he says he talks to people everyday and thats one reason why he feels he has little approach anxiety, maybe it will come when he feels a painful rejection one day? Anyway he goes in, a hb6/7s does well but he sitting on the side of the 2set which makes the girl on the sides attention drift off. AndeeeUK prepares to get ready to go in and wing him but as he does, Diablo2 leaves the set politely. I tell him to re-engage them later.
I open a lonely girl normally "hay, you ok, you look lost". She responds like she doesn't want to talk, I don't proceed cause their wasn't a spark right off the bat and i felt lazy and had an abundance mentality mind set.
I set 'Sal' on a similar mission as I did with Diablo2. Saw a 2set at the bar hb7s. Told him to seem like he was passing by and comment spontaneously on how nice the dress was, and his sister had the same one and see what happened from there. He stays in set longer than I thought because his body language screams needyness - lean in and not as confident as he could of been. I tell him its important to work on the body language.
Diablo2 wants to open another 2 set, he asks for good opener and transition, i tell him to say the same thing but say it better. He goes, Boom, hes in set doing pretty well. As the high tempo dies, i come in and give him praise, ease the tension, take some work load. Diablo2 starts talking more directly to one of the girl so i grab the attention of the obstacle hblippiercing who seems very cute. Boom, she feels my nimbus, hi5, connect, tease, paddycake, feed off each other positivity. I pick her up, then pick her up and spin her around, her body temperature goes up and she got her hand on my waist without realising and the glazed stare. I then notice Diablo2 has started to lose the obstacle, shes bored, and taps hbpiercing to want to go to the toilet, entrance hbpiercing doesn't notice. I look at Diablo2 and he seems a bit nervy I can see the tension setting in as hes lost for words or actions. I tell hbpiercing I better get back to my friends when really it was to make the obstacle and diablo2 more comfy. I kiss her cheek, cheek and then sensually on the lip and say we have to catch up later if we see each other - so i didn't number close (which i should of really still). I then annouce an idea: if another wingman outside the 2 sets sees a failing of interaction with an obstacle and sees her as a threat to remove a good interaction between the other pair in set then the outside wingman should come in or replace that wingman and add more fresh spice to her interest and keep her further occupied.
Anyway, during the interaction Andy talks to short stripper girl, she leaves. Then me and diblo2 talk to Andy. She comes back, so me and Diablo2 go get some drink so they are isolated. She leaves, Andy re-enters us, then she comes back with some guy. She starts showing me some IOIs and focuses the interaction on me, I feel it could be on, do i proceed? I ask AndeeeUk permission , he pauses and half heartly gives a 'Yea, it's ok' but he says and acts it still like dissapointed 'no, I want her' , so i leave it. Another guy with her was hitting on her too, met her that night too. She also too attention seeking and 28 with 3 kids (which I don't tell AndeeeUK till later - cause hes keen and shes hot still) and i couldnt be bothered with all these complication, i deliberatly go cold and me and diablo2 move to look for another set, Andy stays keen to attempt to re-engage.
Two other hb7 sat in the same place as Diablo2 first set he opened. So i told him do exactly the same opening and transition. He goes and have a similar lock in. He start to kino the girl with a massage as hes a chiropractitioner and she rewards him with a dirty dance. The obstacle starts to look bored, time to wing. I'll call her HBbusDriver, she was sitting in the weirdest of position, I built sexually, kissed her neck, nibbled her ear, paused in front of her, then pulled back to keep a sexual tension. But the subject started to die away non sexually, into comfort and thought Id re-vamp the sexual in a min. Kinoed more hands down her backside where she was sitting. Then her friend comes back from the toilet and tries to pull her away for a dance, my target doesnt want too ,she wants to sit with me. i say to her why dont you dance with Diablo2 she declines, so she make it awakard, keeps grabbing her wrist to demand her to dance, but she doesnt want to. I get bored of the drama, and exit without bothering to further it - she was q boring...my targets dissapointed face was a snap shot priceless. Even when I left they didnt dance- I can imagine my target arguing with her friend later on about me. The interaction lasted 30-40 minutes.
Then I realised hadn't really seen much of analogy and he had gone home, cause he didn't feel well.
What was the biggest factor failing the interaction in each set. Well, the not so obvious, which I think was LOGISTICS LOGISTICS LOGISTICS of the following.
The 1st hook set - failing of the wingman to keep his girl satisfied and me relying on him.
Stripper set - Un-sureness to allow me to game by wingman.
Set 3 - failing of the wingman to keep his girl satisfied and me relying on him.
However, I thought diablo2 did a pretty good job for the first time sarging though!
I learnt you cannot allways rely on the wingman, so ideas that to improve on this is.
*Keep on your toes befriending your target friends when you feel you can, maybe as mini attractive takeaways. If you and your wingman knows nothing is connecting between him and his girl early. Then close verbally talk if this is the case and start dominating both girls on the spot for the time being. Gain the friend acceptance. But you're the prize, so make it out they have both gained yours! Then you can take lead in the night and they will follow you. And choose later when your precense is more acceptable by the friend.
*If your out with more than one wingman and if the wingman obviously fails his girl, another wingman should replace him. I should of called another wingman over to give it a go, but in future signals should be readable when this is the case.
*If a girl isn't making it obvious who she likes and confuses you and your wing, then be up front and ask her. Rids alot of confusion for her, me, my wing and needy chumps around her.
On top of all this is of course continue to make your own game tighter.
That was it.

There will normally be an upfront fee. Banks normally only fund fairly low risk ventures particularly when times are hard. Secured loans work well for some businesses, as long as you are prepared to lose your home if your business fails. If they are concerned about the state of the business they may foreclose on the loan and they're unlikely to give you any significant help in running your business when you need it.Also in the UK beware the current practice of some banks to initially offer a Business Loan but at the last minute, when you are desperate, to say you have been refused by the credit committee and switch this to a personal loan secured on your house with less advantageous terms. We have seen this happen too many times in the last few years and it's usually too late to pitch for Angel Funding by this stage.Find out more about other funding methods.

Thanks Tom – I feel like a kid in a candy store – don't know what to reach for first. So much awesome info available, will just have to take my time going through as much as I can. I do have 2 recent projects to post,a TV cabinet, and a corner cabinet, but my pics are too big. I'm going to try and reduce the size with photo editing software. I look forward to meeting more fellow woodworkers. Theres not very many of us where I live.

Suggested that it's a new comet straight from the Oort Cloud due to it's orbit being nearly parabolic.
More to the below article at their site, one of the videos is below.
From http://www.isonwatch.com
Comet C/2012 SI (ISON), Close Approach 26 Dec 2013
Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON), was discovered on 21 Sep 2012 its formal name, was found by Russian amateurs Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok of the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON). From late October through late-November, Comet ISON, brightening sharply from 7th to 1st magnitude in the eastern sky at dawn. When closest to the sun at Perihelion on Nov. 28 it's predicted to shine a spectacular -7 magnitude or almost 10 times brighter than Venus. A second round of excellent visibility commences immediately after perihelion as Comet ISON comes behind the sun and banks north into Ophiuchus and Hercules in early December. While the comet fades during this time, it's likely to have a spectacular tail and be as bright as magnitude -4. Both hemispheres will get great views, with the northern favored as Christmas approaches. Indeed, northerners will see it at both dusk and dawn. The comet will pass nearest Earth at a distance of about 64 million Km, in Dec 2013, close to Northern Constellation of Draco. The comet will come to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 28 November 2013 at a distance of 0.012 AU (1,8 million km; 1,1 million mi) from the center point of the Sun. Accounting for the solar radius of 6.955×105 km, the comet will pass approximately 1100000 kilometres (680000 mi) above the Sun's surface. Its orbit is nearly parabolic, which suggests that it may be a new comet coming fresh from the Oort cloud …

Best Indian food I've had in a very long time, possibly ever! I came with a group visiting from New York. We all stuffed our faces. We couldn't stop eating because it was so good. Next time I'm in Oxford I will make a point of coming back.
Incredible food. Kodu chicken with pumpkin may be the best thing I've ever eaten. Also, try the stuffed capsicum. Wow. What a great start to the meal. When we couldn't find exactly the lamb dish we wanted, the maître d had the chef put together something to our liking. He also recommended a coconut chicken dish for our son, which he loved. Majliss made me wish I lived in Oxford, and I'm looking for an excuse to return.
Hands down the best Indian food in Oxford.
I normally do enjoy Indian food but I wouldn't suggest going for a curry myself. It's the kind of thing that I wouldn't mind having because it's tasty, but is not my favorite kind of food.
This restaurant has changed all of that. In fact, it might have changed my life.
I had several people whose tastebuds I trust completely recommend this restaurant but I never had the chance to try it out during my time in Oxford. Of course, as soon as I moved to London and had a free weekend I decided it was time to see what the fuss was all about. The website promises a no frills dining experience, without the often cheesy plush carpets and red decor. And it delivers. The walls are white with nothing but the lights dancing across them. There are only a few fern like plants. And the food is to die for.
I literally have never had a better curry. Or anything better in mouth at all, in fact. I had a delicious Lamb Kodu which was super tender and spiced to perfection. The naan was moist and soft and just incredible all around. While we waited for our food, they brought out platter after platter of sizzling meat and vegetables for the table next to us. And the grill both looked and smelled like heaven. It was oozing its juices as they pried it from the heavy pan and onto the plate. As our stomachs grumbled, we almost had regrets about not getting it ourselves.
In case this place wasn't cool enough, they have a clandestine menu. Yep, that's right. One that isn't posted online and cannot be ordered to take-away. It's composed of the chef's specials about which one cannot speak highly enough. There is this gorgeous strawberry honeyed duck. And the Bengal chicken. Oh... the Bengal chicken. Certainly not one for a person lacking a sweet tooth. A nutty delight cooked in sweet cream and spices until perfection. After about half of it, you do need a bit of a kick so be sure to share with others! But overall, one of the most ingenious dishes ever. Just be sure to brush well afterwards.
As for the service. Impeccable, as well. They opened the door for us as we were leaving and before they knew whether we had tipped. Which of course we did. They really do make you feel like royalty here, with the moist, individually wrapped towels and the unwavering attention. Perfection, all around.
I enjoy Indian food, but I rarely get to enjoy an above-mediocre Indian meal. Majliss cropped up when I was living just on Tyndale Road (conveniently situated 2 minutes from any of Nandos, the Italian deli, Atomic Burger and the Oxford Blue) and one lazy evening, I decided to give it a go.
The interior is somewhat...bizarre. The website opens with "'Good-bye' to plush carpets, red flock wallpaper, and musak...'hello' to minimalist light modern decor...". I can't say I was a big fan of the bright bright white walls, alternating black and white chairs or the soft-hued pink-and-blue lighting by the half frosted windows (having since been into Bar Vanilla in London which feels like a rave at an asylum, Majliss isn't that bad).
I was really pleasantly surprised by the food. My lamb pathia (one of my primary yardsticks for curry house comparison) was very well-spiced and flavourful; the naan was good too. I was never disappointed by meals there, although I never did get to explore the menu more extensively. They also do a range of secret recipe "Majliss Marvels" which aren't published (due to curry industry espionage. Or something), which I never got the chance to try. All in all, with prices very much in the standard range for curry, it was definitely my favourite place in town and I very much hope they've maintained the standard in the 18 months since I moved to London.
Went to this new restaurant last night and was very impressed. Food was prompt and excellent, and the service was very attentive and they were happy to adapt to my dietary needs by cooking without butter.
I had a sobzi biriani, which was very good quality. I also had a tarka daal on the side and it was the best daal I've found in Oxford. I'm a bit obsessed with daal so that made me happy! My companions enjoyed the meat dishes very much, including two that are on a special menu only available if you eat in, so that is very much reccomended.
They write in their menu that they are trying to break away from the stereotypical Indian restaurant style with dark red carpets and gilded wall panels, and they certainly manage - the place looks sleek and modern and would be an excellent place to take a party. Indeed, there was a birthday party in when we went who seemed to be having a great time, and a large birthday cake emerged when we were eating our starters!
Their dessert menu is limited to ice cream but they claimed they could obtain us indian sweets if we gave them a couple of days notice (a sentiment common among indian restaurants in oxford, but unfortunately requiring less spontaneity than myself and my friends generally have!) We didn't have dessert and quite honestly who would bother eating ice cream in a restaurant which is right by G&Ds? The obvious answer is no one. Get your main meal and Majliss, then head to G&Ds for your pudding.
Overall, though I was very impressed, and I guess no one goes to a curry place for the desserts anyway!
Went to Majliss for the third time recently. Still impressed. Probably 4.5 stars, but one guy wasn't so keen on his meal.
Excellent service. We turned up unbooked at 7.45 on a Friday, and it was packed, but they fitted us in somehow with little fuss. In spite of it being packed we were delivered beer and popadoms quickly, with some decent pickles, though a little more of each would be good.
Staff were attentive but not pushing us along. Menu is interesting and reasonable. Decor is refreshingly modern for a Bangladeshi restaurant, and that modern look extends to the food, which is attractively presented.
The dishes were a good size and tasty, although the enormous king prawns were a little chewy and tasteless. Less size, more quality would help. Nonetheless, tasty sauces, and a very enjoyable meal. Fish dish was excellent. Mushroom rice and naans fresh and tasty. I will return.
Delightful. Delicious food, and a large selection from which to choose. The specials are unusual and those we chose were very tasty. Friendly staff and a nice minimalist interior. Would highly recommend!
Ate here on the recommendation of a much-respected son-in-law and having made several repeat visits wouldn't bother again. There are better Indian restaurants around, although the Cowley Road used to be better, and could stand to have a new place offering really good Indian food.
Best indian in Oxford!
the best Indian resturant in Oxford . Even has ' dosas' which I think is a first on Cowley Rd . The mixed starter is massive and has plenty for everyone . Really friendly staff , welll worth a visit

Sometimes it's hard to even think about eating (or cooking!) a hot day, so here's a recipe for a refreshing corn, tomato and mozzarella salad that's sure to keep you cool.
Heat large covered saucepot of water to boiling over medium-high heat. Add corn and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until corn is tender; drain. When cool enough to handle, cut corn from cobs.
In large bowl, whisk together garlic, oil, vinegar, mustard, cayenne, salt and pepper. Add cheese, tomatoes, oregano and corn, and toss to combine. Let stand at least 10 minutes before serving. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day in advance. Serve garnished with spinach leaves, if desired. Makes about 4-1/2 cups.

To add a fresh, summer flavor, try grilling the corn instead of boiling.

|Rice's complete game knocks off Knights
|Friday, July 05, 2013 12:01 AM
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
DELPHOS — Jefferson's Tyler Rice tossed a complete game versus Crestview Wednesday afternoon, pacing the Wildcat ACME baseball unit to a 6-3 triumph over the Knights at Wildcat Field.
The right-handed Rice tossed 106 pitches (75 for strikes) in ceding seven hits and three runs (2 earned), walking two and fanning six.
The Knights countered with righty starter and losing pitcher Bryce Richardson (4 innings, 4 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned, 4 free passes, 3 Ks; 88 pitches 55 for strikes) and then reliever Adrian Camp (3 IPs, 3 hits, 1 earned run; 35 pitches, 22 for strikes).
The Wildcats, the visitors on the scoreboard due to a coin flip, scored twice in the first. Josh Teman led off with a walk and Jace Stockwell sacrificed. Austin Jettinghoff singled to left to put runners on the corners and Jordan Herron walked to load the bases. Jake Pulford (3-for-4) plated Teman (2 walks) and Jettinghoff (3-for-4, 2 runs, 2 runs batted in) with a 2-run single to left center.
Crestview's Damian Helm got aboard with two down in the first on an error.
The Wildcats made it 4-0 in the second on a 1-out liner to center by Ryan Bullinger, a Teman walk, a forceout by Stockwell and a 2-run double to deep left by Jettinghoff.
In the Knight third, Brock Rolsten blooped a hit down the left-field line and Cam Etzler's 1-out groundout put the runner at second.
The Wildcats made it 5-0 in the fourth on a walk to Rice, a sacrifice by Bullinger, a wild pitch and an erred grounder hit by Stockwell.
Crestview left the bases juiced — leadoff single by Helm, a 1-out forceout by Richardson, a single by Jordan Roop and a free pass to Camp — in the home half.
Jefferson got a runner (pinch-runner Adam Rode) to third — Pulford leadoff single to right, a sacrifice by Hunter Binkley and a groundout by Tyler Talboom — in the fifth.
The Knights got two tallies in the fifth to get within 5-2. Jake Lippi led off with an infield hit, stole second and scored on a run-scoring double to left by Mitch Rickard. He scored on a misplayed grounder by Helm.
The "hosts" got within 5-3 in the sixth on a leadoff single by Roop (2-for-3), a Camp sacrifice bunt and a 2-out double to deep left by Lippi (2-for-3).
The "visitors" tacked on a key run in the seventh on a leadoff single by Jettinghoff, a Herron sacrifice and a bad-hop single past third sacker Rolsten by Pulford.
The Wildcats will play at Van Wert 4 p.m. today against Van Wert, while Crestview awaits the loser at 6:30 p.m.

Cougars finish up postponed 'W'; Jays ousted by Lancers in ACME tourney
By NICK JOHNSON
DHI Correspondent
DELPHOS - The Van Wert Cougars and Lincolnview Lancers restarted their ACME Tournament game from Tuesday night at Stadium Park that was postponed due to rain and lightning. When the game was called, the Cougars had a 9-2 lead over the Lancers in the top of the sixth inning.
The Cougars and Lancers finished the game on Wednesday night before the second round of the tournament started later in the evening night. Van Wert went on to run-rule Lincolnview in sixth innings by a score of 12-2.
When the game restarted on Wednesday, Van Wert got doubles from Kevin Agler and Jacob Braun to push the lead up to 12-2 in the top of the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Cougars retired the Lancers 1-2-3, including a strikeout to end the game.
With the victory, the Cougars advance to play Jefferson — who run-ruled rival St. John's Tuesday afternoon 10-0 in five frames — 4 p.m. Friday at Lincolnview.
After dropping the restarted game, the Lancers faced off against the Blue Jays later on during the night on Wednesday. The Lancers grabbed a 17-13 victory in a wild one.
The Lancers were set to battle Crestview today but withdrew due to lack of numbers.
The Blue Jays were eliminated.

Price Paid: $39.99 on sale
Just got these for a hike we did up Mt. Baldy. I was really happy with how comfortable and how well they gripped even some slippery spots. We hiked for about six hours on fairly steep/rocky terrain and my feet were still comfy after we were done. So far they have held up great, but this was my first outing with them. Also they had good support for being just a mid top.
Highly recommended.

Hey Guys, I know this is a pretty weird topic but, I'm in the process of doing a paper on the Phoenix Climbing History. I'd like to put it together for a more updated version and I haven't seen much in terms of holistic climbing histories. I'd also like to create something that people could use for future guidebooks and bring back an updated version of the Phoenix Rock by Waugh and later Opland. So, if you guys would like to help, all I'm looking for is some information or areas to look for my research. Anything you guys have to offer would be completely awesome! Or, if you guys are looking for a climbing partner, I could be free for just about anything! Thanks!
Hey. You should look up Steve Grossman. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to climbing history; especially in AZ. I think he spends time on supertopo.com. You could probably pm him there
Ill keep reading. Chime in Jimmy D and Marquart, and Smelzer! Steve

Some Knox County students took a step back in time on Friday with a visit from the 16th president.
Abraham Lincoln impersonator John Voehl stopped by several schools as part of a celebration of President's Day.
Students don't have school on the actual holiday, so they celebrated a few days later.
The school system combined the American history study with nutrition by giving the students a whole grain cookie snack that features the likenesses of the US presidents.
The students enjoyed the visit and asked a lot of questions.
"We've had kids ask, 'What did you play with?' 'What toys did your children play with?' 'What year were you elected?' 'Did you ever meet George Washington?'" said Dickl, Knox County Schools Nutrition Director.
The Lincoln look-alike also discussed his vice president, Andrew Johnson, who lived in East Tennessee and became president after Lincoln's assassination

Lubbock Local Guide
I started doing the local guide to help answer common questions about Lubbock, but it has grown into something more personal. I noticed several hotel chains claiming to be your home away from home, but not telling you, the guest, anything about themselves. That is what makes us different. We want you to become part of our extended family. This is why we share personal information on the local guide and also on our Facebook page. If we do not tell you something that is dear to our heart, how can we ask you to be family? Let us show you how Arbor Inn and Suites treats our guests.
Texas Tech baseball did an outstanding job this year. First appearance at the College Baseball World Series. What an incredible accomplishment for Coach Tadlock who is in his 2nd season at Tech. We are looking forward to 2015 baseball.
Coach Smith had a good run last year on the hard-court and looks to improve on his success this year. We wish him the best of luck.
I hope everyone recognizes the incredible job Kirby Holcutt has done in the 3 years he
has been here. Without his leadership there is no telling where we would be. I think sometime we look at the Athletic Director when things are going wrong but never give him praise when the are going right. In my humble opinion you are the true power behind RAIDER POWER. Thank you for all you do for the fans of Texas Tech.
We are a local family business and, as such, we try to recommend similar businesses. So, our restaurants of choice for this month are Flat Iron Grill and Triple J. FYI the Chick-fill-a is closed on slide for a remodel until the middle of July. The have on on 82nd and Milwaukee. If you have an eatery you enjoy, just let us know. We can give them a shout out.
Our family and staff appreciate all our guests who have stayed with us in 2013, and we hope that we will continue to be your first choice for 2014.
If you have any questions about Lubbock or our hotel just give a shout on Facebook or Twitter.

The UFC continues to flesh out the card for their September 1st UFC 151 card in Las Vegas with the addition of a lightweight bout between Henry Martinez and Daron Cruickshank. The InsideTUF Twitter account reported the match-up last night:
Uh Oh... Verbal agreements for
@Cruickshank155 & @HenryMartinez83?!? Do we smell a @UFC 151 rumble?
Martinez made fans take notice when he stepped up as a late-notice replacement at UFC 143 and took the much larger Matt Riddle to a very close split decision. Despite the loss, Martinez's performance clearly impressed the brass and he returned at his more natural weight class of 155 lbs last month where he won his own split decision against Bernardo Magalhaes. The Greg Jackson-trained fighter now brings a record of 9-2 into this September bout.
Cruickshank was a cast member of the 15th season of The Ultimate Fighter and brought a flashy tae kwon do-based style with him. Despite getting knocked out in the quarterfinals, Cruickshank returned at the season finale and used some surprising wrestling and ground-and-pound skills to take a unanimous decision victory over Chris Tickle.
Check out the current UFC 151 card after the jump.

On 19 November 1999, Dana Petroleum plc (the 'Company') announced a placing
(the 'Placing') and open offer (the 'Open Offer') of 49,665,846 new Ordinary
Shares at 16p per new ordinary share (the 'Issue Price') to raise
approximately £7.9m before expenses. At the same time the Company announced
the issue of US$12.5 million unsecured loan notes convertible into new
Ordinary Shares in Dana (the 'Convertible Loan Note').
Result of Open Offer
The Open Offer expired at 3.00pm on 13 December 1999, at which time valid
applications had been received for 9,200,067 new ordinary shares.
The balance of 40,465,779 new ordinary shares not taken up by qualifying
shareholders under the Open Offer, including 9,878,916 new Ordinary Shares
which certain shareholders had irrevocably undertaken not to take up under the
Open Offer, have been conditionally placed at the Issue Price by Investec

Limited, as agent for the Company, with institutional and other investors.
Accordingly, valid acceptances were received in respect of 23.1 per cent. of

Another non-bock beer form the last bock beer tasting evening with rvdoorn. But I couldn't refuse this rare dubbel.
A: Dark brown/ruby with a big bubbly head.
S: Burned malts, caramel and dark fruits. Some woody smell is there as well.
T: The first thing that stands out and is particular to me: dutch apple syrup. Didn't notice this before in a beer.
There's also burned malts, toffee,dark fruits and a slight bitter finish. I get the impression they als used cane sugar syrup.
M: Low carbonation, creamy and a medium body.
D: This is a very original beer. Classified as a dubbel, but it's more than that.

Some time ago, I went with some friends to the OpenAir museum in the Netherlands. In this museum, many buildings from the past centuries are being preserved to show how people used to live during the last centuries. And of course one of these buildings is a brewery (from early 1900) and since two years, the Dutch amateur beer brewing champion from 2007, brews several beers that which can be bought in the museum and in some liquor shops in Arnhem. This Dubbel I shared with PapaEugene. Poured into a sniffer. The beer pours a dark-brown color with some hints of ruby, with a nice head (resembles dish soap).
Smell: Strong caramel, figs, plum, alcohol, burned malts. Also some smoked wooden barrel.
Taste: caramel, toffee, coffee,, honey, clear apple syrup and dark fruits. The beer has a nice bitter hoppy finish
Mouthfeel: Thick mouthfeel, medium low carbonation, with fast oxidation
Overall: My favorite microbrewery. This is a truly great beer, not a typical dubbel though, more a light barley wine. I love it.

On my drive to work this morning, I heard Pete Weber the Preds' PXP man talk with Mike Ross of Hockey This Morning on NHL Home Ice on XM.
They chatted about the woes of the Calgary Flames, and Weber speculated that, at some point, Jarome Iginla might receive the "Ray Bourque" treatment and leave Calgary is his quest for the Stanley Cup. Weber went on to point out that Iginla's contract runs through the 2011-2012 season, the same contract length the Avs assumed when they received Bourque from the Bruins.
So I started to think about Iginla coming to the Capitals. He's a RW, which would fit nicely with Ovechkin and Backstrom, putting Semin back on the 2nd line. When I had a gap at work, I went back to look at the Bourque trade, so see if we might repeat something similar.
To refresh your collective memories:
On March 2, 2000, Boston traded Ray Bourque to Colorado with Dave Andreychuk for Brian Rolston, Martin Grenier, Sammy Pahlsson and New Jersey's 1st round choice (previously acquired, Boston selected Martin Samuelsson) in 2000 Entry Draft.
- Bourque was 39 and had been with Boston for 20 seasons, having started full-time in the NHL as a 19-year-old. He ended up playing out his contract with the Av's, winning the Stanley Cup in his second season in Colorado.
- Andreychuk was a 36-year-old center and was set to become a free agent at the end of the 2000 season. At that point in his career he was roughly a 20G, 20A player. At the end of the season, Andreychuk did in fact leave Colorado, signing with Buffalo.
- Rolston was a 26-year-old center, destined to become a 30G, 30A player with several teams. His is still in the league, currently fighting through injuries with New Jersey.
- Grenier was a 20-year-old minor league defenseman. He is a big man - 6;5" and 245 pounds. He was a 2nd round pick of the Avs in 1999. In his last full QMJHL season, 1999-2000 with the Quebec Remperts, Grenier racked up 302 PIMs in 67 games. He ended up playing a total of 8 NHL games in his career, for three teams, although none with Boston.
- Pahlsson was then a 22-year-old center in the minors. He was a 7th round pick. He is still playing, now with Columbus, having a bit of a non-descript career, with only one season above 10 G.
- The pick ended-up being the 27th overall. (FWIW - Samuelson played 14 games for the B's and is now out of hockey).
So - a standout, but aging D and a burly 2C for an up-and-coming center, a massive PIM-collector of a D, a serviceable center and a low first round pick.
If the Caps made a similar run at Iginla, the trade could look something like this:
Calgary sends Iginla to the Caps for Eric Fehr, John Erskine, Andrew Gordon and a 1st round pick. A veteran for an up-and-coming wing, a burly D, a minor leaguer with potential, and a 1st rounder.
The biggest hurdle would be salary today. Iginla = $7M annual salary. Fehr + Erskine = $3.45M annual salary. Assuming Holtby and Fahey go back to Hershey, this trade would leave the Caps barely under the salary cap. The ability to acquire other players this season would almost certainly disappear. GMGM doesn't like to tie his hands like that. Salary cap reasons prevent me from throwing in a center such as Brendan Morrison, Olie Jokinen or Craig Conroy to truly mimic the B's-Av's deal.
(I am not a salary cap expert, so the above could be dead wrong.)
The next hurdle would be salary 2011-2012. Assuming Iginla's $7M in 2011 would almost certainly spell the end of Alexander Semin's career in D.C.
The more I stare at the trade, the more I think I would do it, if I were the Caps. I doubt, however, that the Flames would take just this. They would likely ask for one of our two young goalies.
Nonetheless, it's intriguing to consider.

Home / LSA Faculty & Staff / Academic Affairs / Policies and Procedures / Tenured and Tenure Track Faculty /
Nomination Guidelines – LSA Professorships 2013-14
Dear Colleagues:
The deadlines for first-stage nominations to the Executive Committee of those colleagues proposed for Arthur F. Thurnau, Collegiate, and Distinguished University Professorships have now been set. The deadline for first-stage Thurnau nominations is Monday, October 7, 2013. First-stage nominations for Collegiate and Distinguished University Professorships are due on Monday, December 2, 2013. Details about each nomination process are given below.
Arthur F. Thurnau Professorships
Deadline for First-Stage Nominations - October 7, 2013
Each year the Provost's office selects a group of tenured faculty as Thurnau Professors for their outstanding contributions to undergraduate education. In order to be selected as a Thurnau Professor, it is necessary to have a sustained record of excellence in undergraduate education as demonstrated by meeting one or more of the following criteria, but not limited to them: a strong commitment to students and to teaching and learning; excellence in teaching, as evidenced particularly by other teaching awards and also the use of effective teaching strategies and notable methods of assessing student learning; innovations in teaching and learning; a strong commitment to working effectively with a diverse student body; a demonstrable impact on students' intellectual and/or artistic development and on their lives. Find more details on the award and the nomination process.
In addition to the appointment title, Thurnau Professors receive $20,000 over the first three years of their appointment to be spent on the enhancement of their teaching activities. Thereafter, Thurnau Professorships are treated as Collegiate Professorships, renewable every five years based on a continuing commitment to undergraduate education, and carrying annual stipends of $3,000 toward salary and $5,000 toward research. Because of these enhancements to the Thurnau Professorships, which began in 2008, the College Executive Committee must be involved in the selection of those nominees forwarded to the Provost.
Each LSA unit may nominate one tenured faculty member for a Thurnau Professorship each year. First-stage nominations to the College Executive Committee must include the following materials:
- A letter from the nominator, normally the Chair or Director, that addresses how the nominee has achieved a sustained record of excellence in undergraduate education by meeting one or more of the selection criteria, but not limited to them. Please include any information about the nominee's teaching responsibilities outside of the normal venue in which he or she teaches (e.g., mentoring and advising, GSI training, supervising honors theses, work on curricular reform, etc.). Please consider the information at the Provost's website above before preparing this letter.
- A list of undergraduate courses taught in the past eight terms. For each course, please provide the course number, title, syllabus (and/or website), number of students enrolled, and summarized student evaluations – a table with Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 going back 4 years.
- A current and dated curriculum vitae.
Submit to: Mandy Harrison, LSA Divisional Affairs, Room 2150 LSA by October 7, 2013.
After the Executive Committee has reviewed the nominations, the Dean's Office will notify units promptly as to which nominations should be developed for submission to the Provost's Office following the Provost's guidelines. Please deliver your completed nomination to the Dean's Office (attention Mandy Harrison, Room 2150 LSA) for my signature on the cover sheet by November 25, 2013. We will deliver your nomination to CRLT by December 2, 2013.
The Executive Committee and I believe that the list of Thurnau Professors should reflect the diversity of faculty in the College. Please consider this carefully in deciding on your proposed nominations.
Collegiate Professorships
Deadline for First-Stage Nominations - December 2, 2013
A Collegiate Professorship is one of the highest honors the College has available for active faculty members who warrant the distinctive recognition that a named professorship carries, and I urge you to nominate your outstanding colleagues. Nominations will go to the Executive Committee, which makes the selection. Each Collegiate Professorship carries a unique name selected by the candidate, in consultation with the College, along with annual $3,000 salary and $5,000 research supplements.
Collegiate Professorships should be offered to colleagues who are exemplars of our aspirations for excellence in all areas of our intellectual life together. Nominees should be outstanding in scholarship, as well as both undergraduate and graduate teaching, and be among those who provide significant leadership in the unit, the College, or the University. The Executive Committee and I believe that the list of Collegiate Professors should reflect the diversity of faculty in the College. Please consider carefully the effect your proposed nominations will have on that.
I invite each unit of the College to submit one nomination. For each nomination at this stage, please include the nominee's most recent curriculum vitae and a detailed description of the candidate's accomplishments in scholarship, teaching, and service. Based on this information, the Executive Committee will select a second group of nominees for whom you will be asked to develop complete dossiers, including outside letters, by a later deadline. In late spring 2014, final selections for the professorships will be made from this select group with full dossiers.
Although your nomination at this stage need not be as detailed as at the next, the probability that your nominee will advance to the second-stage is influenced by the detail in your initial description of his or her career. Your nomination needs to be comprehensive; it should include information about the nominee's scholarship, teaching, and service, and be detailed enough to convey to the Executive Committee the benchmarks by which you and your colleagues have found the nominee worthy of this honor. For example, you need to provide a careful interpretation of the candidate's curriculum vitae, explaining why the record of publication, grant funding, outside recognition (including awards from within the University, but outside the College), etc. place the nominee among the most distinguished in your unit. You also need to explain the impact of the nominee's research work on his or her field.
Many nominees fail to make it to the second-round because the first-round nomination contains insufficient detail on their teaching and service. Some detailed explanation of the nominee's teaching record, including measures of the quantity and quality of teaching, is very useful. Your nomination should also include some detail on the nominee's provision of service to your unit or others across the College and University.
If you would like to submit the name of a person you have nominated in the past year or two, please consider revising the previous nomination along the lines above (if necessary). Alternately, you can advise us to use the information already submitted.
Submit to: Mandy Harrison, LSA Divisional Affairs, Room 2150 LSA by December 2, 2013.
Distinguished University Professorships
Deadline for First-Stage Nominations - December 2, 2013
A Distinguished University Professorship is one of the highest honors awarded by the University to recognize exceptional scholarly and/or creative achievement, national and international reputation, and superior teaching skills. Each Distinguished University Professorship carries a special name selected by the candidate in consultation with the College, along with annual $5,000 salary and $5,000 research supplements. Candidates for these positions must have all the qualifications of those mentioned above for Collegiate Professors. In fact, it is rare that a candidate for a Distinguished University Professorship is not already in some form of collegiate or endowed chair. In addition, candidates for these professorships must have achieved substantial external recognition. In recent years, for example, most of those awarded these chairs have been members of national academies, and/or recipients of widely recognized external professional awards.
The Rackham Graduate School administers Distinguished University Professor nominations and has developed an on-line submittal process. For a nomination to be considered, however, there must be a supporting letter provided by the relevant Dean. I now invite each unit of the College to submit nominations (using the same documentation required for the first round of Collegiate Professorships) for screening by the LSA Executive Committee.
Submit to: Mandy Harrison, LSA Divisional Affairs, Room 2150 LSA by December 2, 2013.
Those units whose candidates are selected will then be asked to provide a more fully documented recommendation via the on-line Rackham website. Rackham's deadline is March 5, 2014.
Please consider which of your faculty you wish to nominate, paying particular attention to those who hold Collegiate or endowed professorships, and be prepared to provide documentation appropriate to positions of great distinction for which the competition will surely be keen. In addition to the information required for Collegiate Professorship nominations, the DUP nomination requires a detailed explanation of the external honors and awards that qualify a candidate for this honor. Here, again, it is important to understand that the selection committee for these professorships believes that the recipients should reflect the full diversity of the University's faculty. Please consider carefully the effect your proposed nominations will have on that.
Please find detailed information on the Rackham website.
Please contact Mandy Harrison (734.615.0659) if you have questions.
Thank you!
