The American woman's home by Catharine Esther Beecher ( Book )
66 editions published between 1869 and 2010 in English and German and held by 1,585 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The American woman's home, originally published in 1869, was one of the late nineteenth century's most important handbooks of domestic advice. The result of a collaboration by two of the era's most important writers, this book represents their attempt to direct women's acquisition and use of a dizzying variety of new household consumer goods available in the post-Civil War economic boom. It updates Catharine Beecher's influential Treatise on domestic economy (1841) and incorporates domestic writings by Harriet Beecher Stowe first published in The Atlantic in the 1860s. Today, the book can be likened to an anthology of household hints, with articles on cooking, decorating, housekeeping, child-rearing, hygiene, gardening, etiquette, and home amusements. The American woman's home illuminates women's roles a century and a half ago and can be used for comparison with modern theories on the role of women in the home and in society. Illustrated with the original engravings, this completely new edition offers an introduction by Nicole Tonkovich and notes linking the text to important historical, social, and cultural events of the late nineteenth century

Booing is depicable whoever you are directing it at. No excuses.
If someone sits by me and boos a player or a singer or whoever, I will usually tell him to stfu. It's such an utter lack of respect for another human being, it doesn't matter if he's your worst rival. There are some exceptions though... like when a politician is booed or the cops or the king of spain.

Federal report finds rate of student debt increases, smoking decreases
American young adults are more racially and ethnically diverse, more likely to graduate from high school, and attend college, and less likely to smoke than previous generations, according to a report by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics. However, the young adults have more student debt than generations past, earn less than their counterparts in the year 2000, and more than 1 in 5 are obese, the report says.
The findings are among those reported in a statistical collection by the forum titled, America's Young Adults: Special Issue, 2014. Young adults are identified as between the ages of 18–24.
The report includes data from nationally representative, federally sponsored surveys, summarized under five key themes: education, economic circumstances, family formation, civic, social, and personal behavior, and health and safety.
"This report is a rich snapshot of the health, education, and well-being of America's young adults," said Evelyn Kappeler, director of the Office of Adolescent Health. "Overall, we cheer the gains being made in education, but also note the need to address health concerns such as the smoking, obesity, and depression levels among this population."
According to the report, more young adults are graduating from high school and earning college degrees today than in 2000. In addition, the report found that among Hispanics in this age group, college enrollment during this time increased from 21.7 percent to 37.5 percent, the largest increase among all racial and ethnic groups.
Among other findings:
The forum consists of federal agencies seeking to foster coordination and collaboration in the collection and reporting of federal data on children, youth, and families. Together, they publish the annual report, America's Children: Key Indicators of Well-Being. In alternate years, the forum typically publishes an America's Children in Brief, which highlights a short selection from among the 41 key indicators. This year's special issue was produced in place of the brief. In 2015, the forum will issue the customary full-length America's Children report.

The Browns have signed RB Montario Hardesty, one of their two second-round picks, the team announced Monday. The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported that the contract is for four seasons.
Hardesty is expected to be an important part of the offense in his first season and will compete with Jerome Harrison for the starting job. Hardesty, 23, ran for 1,345 yards and 13 TDs as a senior at Tennessee.
In PFW's 2010 Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote that the 6-foot, 225-pound Hardesty "runs behind his pads, bounces off tacklers and picks up a lot of yards after contact" but "takes time to build speed and lacks top-end speed."
CB Joe Haden, the Browns' first-round pick, and S T.J. Ward, their other second-round selection, are Cleveland's only unsigned drafted rookies.

Leaking Lantern
I recently picked up a couple of old kerosene lanterns. They are in good shape with the original glass. The only problem is they leak. The fuel chamber must have either a few pin-holes or a seam leak. I know you can "re-coat" a fuel tank, do you think it would work on a lantern with very tiny holes? Any suggestions on what to use? Any other suggestions on how to fix the leak?

Re: Leaking Lantern
I posted a reply to this yesterday morning but I guess it got lost in space. Anyway, I use liquid epoxy that I get at the big box store. The kit is 2, 8oz. jars, just mix 1:1, I mix it in a dixie cup. I pour in enough that I can roll the lantern around, to cover any areas that need it. My wife has bought several leaky lanterns, so I've done quite a few this way.
Re: Leaking Lantern
Thanks guys, for all the suggestions. Really appreciate it.
Gary, any brand name I should ask for or just "liquid epoxy". We will be at Lowe's or Home Depot later this week.

Instagram adds 15-second video sharing feature
It's pretty much exactly like Vine
During a press conference at Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters, Instagram's co-founder and CEO Kevin Systrom announced that Instagram will allow users to share 15-second Vine-like video clips through the popular photo-sharing service.
"What we did to photos, we just did to video," said Systrom
Basically, this is Facebook/Instagram's version of Twitter's popular Vine short video clip sharing service. Since Instagram has a huge user base (130 million) this new video sharing feature has the potential to end up being more popular than Twitter's Vine.
It features 13 new features specifically designed to make your videos look "better." It also touts an image stabilization feature that could set it apart from what Vine is capable of doing. Vine also only supports 6 second video clips where as Instagram's new video feature uses 15 second videos
These short 15 second clips continue to remind me of how photographs work in the Harry Potter universe.
But what about limited cellphone data plans? Is this about to blow the lid off your low Canadian data caps? Well, it depends how often you use the feature.
It depends on what resolution your shooting your video at, and what device you're using. But after some testing, we found that the average Instagram photo uses about 100Kb of bandwidth. Videos, meanwhile, average just under 2MB. That video compression is on par with Vine, which come in around 1MB, but are significantly shorter.
The new Instagram app — which you need to both make and watch the videos — is currently available for both iOS and Android, although an update to the Android version of Instagram doesn't seem to have landed on Google's Play store as of 2pm Thursday.
As you can see below, Instagram's new video feature doesn't embed natively like Vine does. In order to view Instagram video clips, you have to click on the image and view it on Instagram's website.

Road work on deck for Kingston Pike property
A large parcel across from the Market Place Shopping Center, on Kingston Pike, will likely see some construction activity soon.
Raymond Higgins, of Atlanta developer Andrews Properties, said work on a boulevard that will run through the property will begin next week.
Last summer, Andrews unveiled a mixed-use project for the site that would include a retail development fronting Kingston Pike, plus apartment buildings and a three-story senior apartment building farther back from the street. Andrews paid $15.5 million for the 105-acre property in December, but the development team has seen some changes since the plan was announced.
While Andrews was initially identified as the developer of the apartment complex, Higgins on Thursday said that his business partner died of cancer last fall and that he decided to sell the apartment portion of the project. In addition, a retail developer that was initially slated to buy the land fronting Kingston Pike is no longer involved in the project.
Higgins said new developers have been identified to buy the retail and apartment portions of the project, but he declined to identify them.
The property includes the Walker-Sherrill House, which was built in 1849 and ranked sixth on the Knox Heritage Fragile 15 list of endangered historic places in 2007.
Higgins has said that a historic zoning overlay was placed on the house, which will be preserved and could be used for a restaurant or retail space.
Hi all. The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep.
I am from Benin and also am speaking English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "With the team of heather and inna, all the teeth appear angelique should pick difficulty, 1 diaper bag."
THX :(, Pavla.
They definately need to preserve the Walker-Sherrill house. No construction should take place AT ALL!! until they are certain the Walker-Sherrill house is safe!

Utthita Hasta Padangustasana
Step by Step
From Tadasana, bring your left knee toward your belly.
Reach your left arm inside the thigh, cross it over the front ankle, and hold the outside of your left foot. If your hamstrings are tight, hold a strap looped around the left sole.
Firm the front thigh muscles of the standing leg, and press the outer thigh inward.
Inhale and extend the left leg forward. Straighten the knee as much as possible. If you're steady, swing the leg out to the side. Breathe steadily; breathing takes concentration, but it helps you balance.
Hold for 30 seconds, then swing the leg back to center with an inhale, and lower the foot to the floor with an exhale. Repeat on the other side for the same length of time.

The imposing daughter of Storm Cat, the winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (Grade I) and her 2005 debut in Santa Anita's Santa Ysabel (GIII), has been listed by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia as the 4-1 morning line choice among 24 wagering interests in KOFW Pool 1. Those wagering interests include 23 individual horses and a mutuel field that includes all other 3-year-old fillies. The mutuel field is the 5-1 second choice in Battaglia's morning line and is the only other wagering interest installed at odds that are lower than 10-1.
The Kentucky Oaks Future Wager, which is entering its third year and is being offered in a three-pool format for the second consecutive year, allows racing fans to bet on candidates for the Kentucky Oaks at odds that could be more attractive than those they would receive on the day of the race. The winning payout for each pool is based on the odds at the close of betting of that specific pool. Payouts are made when the race is declared "official."
Wagering on the pool opens at Noon (all times EST) on Thursday at racetracks and satellite wagering centers throughout North America and continues through Sun., Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. The close of wagering in Oaks Future pool is scheduled 30 minutes later than the close of betting in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which will be offered concurrently during that four-day betting period. Pool 2 of the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager is set for March 10-13 and the third and final KOFW pool of 2005 is scheduled for April 7-10.
"Sweet Catomine was a dominant champion at two and ran faster than her male counterparts on Breeders' Cup Day at Lone Star Park, so she is a very deserving favorite in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager," said Battaglia. "There are some other promising fillies among the betting interests in the wager's opening pool, but they have yet to approach the level of Sweet Catomine to this point. It's also early enough that some late developing fillies may emerge, so there also figures to be solid support in this pool for the mutuel field."

Wise words from a friend of mine:
You have goals... goals that define who you are! As you know, successful people follow their plans and keep updating their plans to achieve their goals! The question I have for you today is... how often do you change your plans ...updating the path of success to achieve your goals!
Think about it! When you first started in Spark People or even before Spark People did you set out to lose weight for a specific reason only to find out that the original plan didn't work for whatever reason? Answer me this...1) Did you do anything at that time to get your plan working again or 2) did you find out the reason why the plan didn't work or 3) did you just continue on your way figuring that everything would work out on it's own... If you chose door number 3 BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Wrong answer but thank you for playing the home game!
If you chose door #1 or door #2 CORRECT! and well on your way to a lifestyle change because you are keeping your lifestyle change on track and you're working towards your goals!
You need a plan to find success. You need to find a plan that works for you and not stay ridged when you need to correct the plan to stay on track! Every person is different and every person needs an individual plan in order to succeed to their ultimate goal! If someone told you that if you ate a half watermelon daily to lose weight, you could lose lots of weight if you stayed with the diet... However, My wife has allergies towards watermelon and would end up in the hospital if she consumed even one piece! This diet could kill her so... It's not a great choice... see what I mean!
Wanting success changing to a new lifestyle isn't sufficient enough to get it. You've got to ask yourself, "What are you going to do to get the things you want."
How are you going to go from where you are now to where you want to be. Define the goal you intend to reach and carefully plan how you are going to get there! Also define some of the pitfalls that you may run across... like chocolate cake, cookies, pastries and the like and plan how you are going to handle such problems to stay on track!
Create visual reminders if you are a visual person to help stay on track... like don't forget your medication, have you exercised today?, or how about don't forget portion size (This is my personal favorite) It a poster I have hanging in my kitchen to help me stay on track!
You cannot fail with a definite step by step plan, because each step you take will carry you along to the next step until you reach your next goal...Then it's time to make new plans steering you towards new goals!
I know that everyone can get to their goals if they want it bad enough... Don't get discouraged... everyone slips up from time to time... but when you realize that you's slipped up, leave this in your past, learn from your past and start back down your road to success.
If you make yourself feel bad you'll probably slip even deeper into self pity and go for snacks or comfort food... Not a good choice!
Nope... time to leave the past in your past!
It's time to start thinking about yourself and concentrating on your future... A future full of health and well being ... after all... We're all worth it and we deserve the best that life can give us!
May all of the days ahead of you be your best days!
Until next time...

Welcome to the I BioAnthropological Meeting (I BAM)
The Official Programme of the I BAM is already available, please click here!
Deadline for abstracts' submission was extended to March 15th
We are pleased to inform you that the registration for the I BAM is now open!
The Provisional Programme is already available. Check it out!
Join us!
We are honored to invite all those interested in attending the I BioAnthropological Meeting: a multidisciplinary approach,
which will take place on the 31st of May and 1st of June, 2013, at the Department of Life Sciences (former Anthropology) of the
Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra (DCV-FCTUC). This meeting is already supported by the Department
itself, as well as by the Research Centre for Anthropology and Health (CIAS) and the Group of Studies in Human Evolution (GEEvH).
The I BAM follows a long tradition in the organization of scientific events with an international scope in the field of Biological Anthropology.
The former Department of Anthropology and now the Department of Life Sciences in the University of Coimbra has, over the years, stood out
not only in research but also in teaching Anthropology. To an organizing committee constituted by very young researchers, with deep
connections to this institution, it is an honor to be able to count with all its support. The idea of this encounter arises from the urge to be closely
involved in the practical applicability of the knowledge intersection, at the specific level of Biological Anthropology. This meeting aims to
present the latest research that has been developed in several areas of this field, highlighting specific themes, such as:
To fulfill this purpose, we intend to gather researchers of the considered themes, in order to enhance the benefits that can be revealed
when using an approach that combines the individuality of each area in a cohesive scientific knowledge. The I BAM also aims to give
students and/or researchers, in a wide range of fields not only in Anthropology, the opportunity to expose their work, either by oral or poster
We will be waiting for you!

Will Waxman-Markey Inspire A Trade War?
Apparently it will according to some who have actually beaten their way through the entire bill and read the contents:
The Ways and Means Committee's proposed bill language (pdf) would virtually require that the president impose an import tariff on any country that fails to clamp down on greenhouse gas emissions.
Of course in this full bore onslaught of major life changing legislation which the Democrats seem determined to push through the Congress as quickly as they can (citing the imminent crisis it will foment if they don't), this issue seems to be lost in the shuffle:
"This is a sleeper issue that lawmakers have not been paying enough attention to," said Jake Colvin, vice president for global trade issues at the National Foreign Trade Council, which represents multinational corporations like Boeing Co. and Microsoft Corp. advocating for an open international trading system.
"The danger is, you focus so much on leveling the playing field for U.S. firms, that you neglect the potentially serious consequences that this could have on the international trading system," Colvin said.
Ya think?
Nancy Peolosi is aiming for a vote in the House this Friday, before the July 4th recess. That obviously will mean very, very limited debate, if any. As NRO notes:
Not content to tempt political fate by imposing huge carbon taxes on the American middle class, Democrats have added a provision which imposes stiff tariffs on our trading partners if they don't adopt aggressive carbon restrictions of their own.
You heard correctly: progressives have authored a bill that earns the mortal enmity of domestic energy consumers and our most crucial trading partners at the same time. Economy-killing climate policies and a trade war — together at last!
The devil is in the details:
Leaks from Hill offices indicate that the president would now be forced to impose the carbon tariffs — and could only opt out of doing so with permission from both chambers of Congress. Carbon-intensive imports would be subject to penalties at the border unless the country of origin requires emission reduction measures at least 80 percent as costly as ours. (The original Waxman-Markey bill had a threshold of 60 percent.)
Brilliant. Of course, some are going to argue that such measures surely will not be in the Senate version and not survive the reconciliation process when the two versions are merged. With this Congress I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
There's some talk that the blue dogs are going to oppose this bill. Obviously you would expect the GOP to oppose it as well. Are there enough other Dems to oppose so as to defeat it? Pelosi may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to many things, but over the years she has learned to count votes I'm sure.
Bottom line: this bill is an economy killer, plain and simple. But it is also a progressive wet-dream shared by Pelosi. She is going to do everything in her power to push it through the House.
Government Health Care – VA's "Shoddy Standards … Put Veterans At Risk"
We had a little dust-up this week when I mentioned Ezra Klein's propensity for government run health care and that he held the VA up as a shining example of what that can be.
Apparently it is a no-no among the crowd that follows Klein to include the government run military hospital system with the government run VA hospital system in a general critique of government run health care. And as is typical of drive-by commenters, they ignored the gist of the post to concentrate on pretending that two government run health care systems were not at all alike (because both have major problems).
So today, we'll just talk about VA and the latest findings that support precisely what I said in the last post – VA has major systemic problems which are dangerous and, as Rep. Harry Mitchell,(D-AZ) who chairs the House Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations said:
"[T]here is no question that shoddy standards — systemic across the VA — put veterans at risk and dealt a blow to their trust in the VA,"
And then there's the growing controversy over procedures that exposed 10,000 veterans to the AIDS and hepatitis viruses.
What have those interested in veteran care found when they looked at the system?
An official with the American Legion who visits and inspects VA health centers said complacency, poor funding and little oversight led to the violations that failed the cancer patients in Philadelphia and possibly infected 53 veterans with hepatitis and HIV from unsterilized equipment at three VA health centers in Florida, Tennessee and Georgia.
"Lack of inspections, lack of transparency" were likely to blame, said Joe Wilson, deputy director of the Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Commission for the American Legion, who testified before Congress this month on transparency problems in a budgeting arm of the VA.
What's he talking about? Well apparently the VA is discovering standards and procedures that have been commonplace in the civilian health care system for decades. Remember the problem with endoscopic procedures in multiple locations which led to contamination?
But investigations conducted by the VA last month show that systemic problems remain. Under half of VA centers given surprise inspections had proper training and guidelines in place for common endoscopic procedures.
Many believe the state of the VA is due to chronic underfunding:
Richard Dodd, a litigator who has represented veterans in lawsuits against the government, said that poor funding has lowered the quality of care and interest from some physicians.
"They're generally under-funded … and I think the interest of the doctors suffers to some degree," he told FOXNews.com. "Generally speaking, the physicians that work at the VA work there because they have no interest in private health care, and in some situations are unable to find jobs in private industry."
Of course "underfunded" is always the claimed "root cause" of any problems with government run entities, isn't it? Take education, for instance. But underfunding has little to do with procedural failures. That's just flat bureaucratic incompetence. It is also a persistent problem for top down, bureaucratic systems like – government run health care.
VA Secretary Gen. Eric Shinseki and senior leadership "are conducting a top to bottom review of the Department," a VA representative told FOXNews.com. "They are implementing aggressive actions to make sure the right policies and procedures are in place to protect our veterans and provide them with the quality health care they have earned."
But, of course, Gen. Shinseki, for all his military competence, wouldn't know a proper endoscopic procedure from a walnut tree. And, apparently, neither to those in the system who've overseen the present ones. Or said another way, confidence isn't real high that an apparently inept bureaucracy can suddenly discover competence.
For example, something as simple as drug inventory:
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an audit to determine how accurately the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) could account for inventories of non-controlled drugs at increased risk for waste and diversion in its health care facilities (facilities). VHA needs to improve its ability to account for non-controlled drugs to reduce the risk of waste and diversion. VHA cannot accurately account for its non-controlled drug inventories because it has neither implemented nor enforced sufficient controls to ensure pharmacy inventory practices are standardized and pharmacy data is accurate.
How can you tell me how "cost-effective" your pharmacy program has been when you don't even know what your non-controlled drug inventories are and have never bothered to implement or enforce control over them?
Systemic problem. But this is the shining example of government run health care according the Klein and others. Underfunded, shoddy, overburdened, old facilities and equipment, a lack of transparancy and controls, insufficient training and poor procedures all driven by a top down bureaucracy.
Yeah, sign me up.

No Hot Dogs For Iran
It took almost two weeks of brutalizing their own people, but the invitation for Iranian diplomats to attend Fourth of July parties at U.S. Embassies around the world has finally been rescinded. Of course this was done about a day after President Obama gave this mealy-mouthed answer to a question on the subject:
Q: Are Iranian diplomats still welcome at the embassy on the Fourth of July, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think as you're aware, Major, we don't have formal diplomatic relations with — we don't have formal diplomatic relations with Iran. I think that we have said that if Iran chooses a path that abides by international norms and principles, then we are interested in healing some of the wounds of 30 years, in terms of U.S.-Iranian relations. But that is a choice that the Iranians are going to have to make.
For those of you who need a translator, the answer was "yes". Today the answer is "no".
I'm glad they've awakened up there to the reality of what is happening in Iran and finally made some sort of move, no matter how trivial or symbolic, to show their disapproval. But it has taken unrelenting pressure to get them to move off of their "engagement at any cost" policy. In the case of 4th of July celebrations, it would have been a travesty to have representatives of the present brutal regime present. Ed Morrissey asks what they'd have been present for anyway:
Besides, what Independence Day values would the Iranian regime want to celebrate with us? Freedom of speech? Freedom of religion? The freedom to peaceably assemble or petition government for a redress of grievances?
Obama rather arrogantly reminded us that "only I am President of the United States". But as former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger reminded Obama, that means he represents the people of the United States when he speaks and in the case of the Iranian violence, he hasn't represented them very well at all.

Against Steep Spending Cuts
FOX News
President Obama launched into his second term with a sharply worded inaugural address Monday -- using the platform to "reject" steep cuts to entitlements, press for an immigration reform package and wag the finger at Washington's penchant for "name-calling" and "spectacle."
The 20-minute address, delivered to a packed crowd on the National Mall after he took the oath of office, effectively set the tone for the next four years. After a rocky four years marked by bitter battles between the White House and Republicans in Congress, Obama made clear he would continue to press those lawmakers to move toward him on some of the toughest policy questions ahead.
The president quickly toggled through a host of agenda items, but used some of his most forceful language to defend costly entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security that could be the target of cuts in upcoming fiscal talks.
Declaring that the country cannot succeed "when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it," he described those programs as a vital safety net -- though, without some intervention, budget forecasters warn they will not be sustainable in the long term.
"We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future," Obama said. "The commitments we make to each other -- through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security -- these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great."
While setting his terms for looming budget fights, the president also worked in a call for immigration reform.
"Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country," he said.
Further outlining his goals for a second term, he said the administration would "respond to the threat of climate change."
The president, in closing, appeared to chide the minority party, saying: "We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate."
At the same time, he urged the country to set aside differences and work together toward addressing challenges ranging from the country's tax code to its education system.
"Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people," Obama said, on the west front of the Capitol. "My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together."
Obama, over the course of the speech, appeared to offer a series of assurances to his supporters that he would continue to fight for the issues he campaigned on. However, while Obama was buoyed by his decisive win over Mitt Romney in November, he nevertheless enters the second term facing a packed agenda and a divided Congress he'll have to win over if he wants to get it passed.
Editor's Note: So, while Mr. Obama calls his oposition a gaggle of "name callers" with a penchant for the "spectacular," he then says we have to work together...this guy is a real piece of work!

Costa Rican champion Junior Middleweight Champion Hanna Gabriel (13-1-1, 9KO) lost her undefeated record via KO to Dominican slugger Oxandia Castillo (12-0-2, 9 KO). Watch the entire fight for yourself, but Gabriel called it a "lucky punch". I disagree. It seems to me that Gabriel was surprised at Castillo's heavy hands. Castillo is slower and more of a plodder, but she was getting to Gabriel constantly. Stiff jabs and right hands to the face.
P.S. I tried to import the fight here but there may be something wrong with the importer. I tried it several times and every time I got an error that said: "only youtube videos can be imported". Well, the video I was trying to import is from youtube.

1. Schulz Named Dean of Engineering
Tim Schulz has accepted appointment as Michigan Techs next dean of engineering effective July 1, Provost Dave Reed has announced.
Schulz came to the university in 1992 as an assistant professor and now chairs the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is the departments Dave House Professor and directs the Center for Integrated Systems in Sensing, Imaging and Communications.
The search committee did a great job, Reed said. They gave the university community a very strong pool of applicants. The decision was difficult because the candidates were so good.
Schulz was selected in part because of his views on the colleges future. He has had a very positive influence on his department, Reed said. But in particular, we were impressed by his vision for the college and his enthusiasm for working with people across a wide variety of disciplines.
Tims hiring is the successful end of 10 months of hard work by our search committee, said Professor Alex Mayer (GMES), the committee chair. We started with more than 40 excellent applicants and eventually narrowed the pool to five.
It was especially difficult to recommend a best candidate, due to the exceptional quality of the finalists. We are very pleased that Tim has accepted the positionthe committee agreed that Tim has the broad vision and the management skills to lead the college to even greater prominence, Mayer added. We are also impressed that during Tims tenure as chair, he has managed to maintain a first-rate reputation in his field, while at the same time significantly elevating the quality of his department.
The current dean of engineering, Robert Warrington, has completed his appointment and now directs the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies.
We have been fortunate to have someone of Bobs caliber as dean, Reed said. Under his direction, the college has seen impressive growth in its research and graduate programs, as well as the addition of new undergraduate degrees. Were grateful for his leadership.
Schulz said he was looking forward to working with all of the colleges constituencies.
Michigan Techs College of Engineering has a talented and dedicated faculty and staff, a strong record of providing outstanding engineering education and a wonderfully successful and supportive alumni base, Schulz said. I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to lead the college to a new level of greatness.
The success of the College of Engineering relies on how well it compares with engineering schools throughout the US, Schulz said. I want our academic programs to be recognized as the best in the state and our research programs to attain positions of prominence among the finest public engineering schools in the nation, he said.
That will require enhanced research and graduate programs, including dramatic increases in the quantity and quality of graduates from the colleges PhD programs.
That, in turn, will require an investment in people. I want to see the graduates of our doctoral programs advance to important, high-impact positions in academia, industry and government laboratories, said Schulz. To do that, we must have a focused, aggressive investment in our faculty; in other words, we must attract the best faculty at all ranks and retain the highly productive faculty we already have.
In addition, the college should help ensure that all Michigan Tech students receive a broad-based technological education. He also stressed the importance of promoting engineering as a profession throughout the state and region.
The college is already graduating more women than most engineering schools, Schulz said. However, Michigan Tech should aim to be the preeminent engineering school for the education of women, graduating the highest percentage of women in engineering among the nations top public engineering schools.
Schulz is a fellow in SPIEThe International Society for Optical Engineering and the topical editor for signal processing for the Journal of the Optical Society of America. He has also served on the editorial boards for Applied Optics and IEEE Transactions on Image Processing.
In his research, Schulz applies statistical signal-processing techniques to computational imaging and signal analysis. His methods have been used to clarify images from the Hubble Space Telescope and to miniaturize high-quality cameras for military surveillance and commercial applications. His work has been widely published, and he has been principal investigator or co-principal investigator on approximately $5 million in funding from agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Laboratory and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
2. Michigan Tech Hispanic Students Earn National Recognition
Submitted by Madeline Mercado Voelker, advisor, and Jaime Camelio, co-advisor
Andrea Muñoz-Hernández, a PhD student in environmental engineering, won first place for her poster, "Calibration and Uncertainty of a Surface Water Model for a Basin in a Semiarid Region: The Rio Yaqui-Basin, Mexico," at the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers National Conference, held recently in Denver.
Michigan College/University Partnership-sponsored students Idaliza Gómez (Biological Sciences) and Andy Publes (ECE) were among the 33 students selected to attend the inaugural Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)/Groundwater Education in Michigan (GEM) Graduate Records Exam/Getting Ready for Advanced Degrees Lab, in Denver Jan. 10-11, co-hosted by the National GEM Consortium and the Advancing Hispanic Excellence in Technology, Engineering, Math and Science, Inc.
Gómez was also selected to present her poster, Identification of Microsatellite Markers for Diagnostic Genotyping of Populus Fremontii X Angustifolia Backcross Hybrids, at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) National Conference held in Tampa last year.
"As the advisors of the Michigan Tech Nosotros/SHPE student chapter, we are extremely proud of our students' achievements," said Mercado Voelker. "Being recognized at the national level in organizations such as SHPE and SACNAS is a great honor, and to hear the name of our institution in a room with over 6,000 Hispanic and corporate representatives was a very moving experience."
3. Stephanie Irish Wins Goldwater Scholarship
Undergraduate Stephanie Irish (Physics) has been named a 2007 Goldwater Scholar. The scholarship provides $7,500 for tuition, fees, books and room and board.
Irish is from Rochester, Minn. She is a junior physics major, with minors in mathematical science, remote sensing and astrophysics. She intends to pursue a PhD in planetary atmospheres.
Under the direction of Associate Professor Will Cantrell (Physics), Irish will conduct research on ozonolysis of high molecular weight organic compounds applied to ice nucleation. This research will help climate scientists improve their models by providing a more detailed understanding of the impact of biomass burning on cirrus clouds in the upper troposphere. Irish presented related work in this area at the fall 2006 annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. She and Cantrell expect a peer-reviewed paper to come out of that research.
Irish thoroughly enjoys experimental research in atmospheric science. "I often cannot wait until the next problem arises in the experiment, so that I can challenge my mind with a way to overcome it," she wrote in her Goldwater application.
"My decision to offer Stephanie a summer research position is motivated by the fact that getting someone more qualified and better able to make an immediate contribution would involve hiring a postdoc, said Cantrell.
"This is the most competitive award an American undergraduate in the bio-physcial sciences, technology, engineering or math can receive. Her achievement brings honor not only to herself, but also to Michigan Tech," said Assistant Provost Mary Durfee. This year 441 colleges and universities nominated 1,110 of their top students for the 317 awards.
The Goldwater Foundation is a federally endowed agency that honors the memory of Senator Barry M. Goldwater.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene

A 68-year-old Hispanic man was killed Wednesday morning when he was struck by a South Carolina Highway Patrol car. Authorities are not releasing his name until family members can be notified.
Just before 5 a.m. Wednesday deputies responded to the area of Hwy 21 (Trask Pkwy) and Martin Lane on a report from a SCHP trooper about a collision between his patrol car and a pedestrian.
Many questions remain in the investigation. Based on some of the markings at the collision is that it was at 30 yards from the point of impact to point of rest.
The southbound lanes of the four-lane, divided highway were closed for nearly three hours as the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office investigated the fatal wreck.
"There's not a lot of lighting on the roadside. It's dark. There's not a lot of traffic, so if you were walking on the roadway or beside the roadway, it would be difficult to be seen," said Sgt. Robin McIntosh, of the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.
McIntosh said the 68-year-old man who was killed was also wearing dark clothing. It's standard that one agency will investigate when another is involved in a crash.
"We do have deputies that are trained in accident reconstruction and they're the ones that responded to the scene," she said.
She said that even though the victim was pronounced dead at the scene, the trooper did what he could after the crash.
"The trooper did get out and try to provide life saving measures however the victim was already deceased," she said.
The South Carolina Highway patrolman was on duty at the time of the crash.

Hiram, Ga. (PRWEB) October 2, 2007
According to Acousticlobe's President and CEO, Tom Dean, there exist an appreciable number of consumers who disfavor earbuds. Moreover, he believes that consumers will welcome a supplemental way to wear and enjoy earbuds. The genius of Apple's iPod™ in the invention of the earbud is that earbuds are extremely portable as compared with prior devices.
Mr. Dean has invented a portable earbud accessory trade named Lobie™ giving consumers a choice they've not had until now. Lobie™ places the earbud just along side the wearer's ear without the need to insert the earbud into the wearer's ear canal.
In Mr. Dean's words, Lobie™ "floats the earbud on an acoustic cushion of air."
Lobie™ provides a passive secure fit during casual and active uses such as jogging, skateboarding, rollerblading, etc and is also an option for safety conscious consumers not wanting to completely close off the ability to hear their surroundings.
One customer is quoted as saying, "Love the Lobie, I thought I would never be able to use my earbuds, they wouldn't stay in my ears. The Lobie kept the earbuds perfectly secure in my ears, and they are so comfortable I fell asleep with them on. I have different earbuds for different devices; I wish I had a pair of Lobies for every device."
Another adds, "It is definitely a new experience. My ears are not throbbing after I use them."
A 12 year old boy says, "I like to wear them while playing video games. I also like to go sleep listening to music and Lobies feel good when I lay my head on my pillow."
Another says, "I think that Lobies are a clever solution to earbuds falling out. They'd be really great for jogging and exercise."
Acousticlobe Incorporated was founded in 2006 with the development of Lobie™, "Earbud's New Accessory." Lobie™ is a patent pending American made product sold exclusively online at http://www.MyLobie.com. MyLobie.com is accepting pre-orders now with an estimated ship date of November 1st, 2007.
Acousticlobe's CEO, Tom Dean is also President/CEO of InspiroMEDIA Corporation, a professional services firm providing patent and trademark illustration services to IP Law Firms and Corporations nationwide.
If you would like more information about Lobie™, or to schedule an interview with Tom Dean, please call Mr. Dean at 770-222-9090, or cell at 678-925-1345.
