USOC confirms - United States won't bid for 2020 Olympics
The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) has confirmed that it will not be considering a bid for the 2020 Olympic Games. The deadline to nominate a city is September 1st.
USOC Spokesperson Patrick Sandusky confirmed the announcement Monday morning.
"With such little time left , we don't believe we could pull together a winning bid that could serve the Olympic and Paralympic Movement", Sandusky said on Twitter.
Several cities including Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, Tulsa, Dallas, Chicago and Las Vegas have indicated an interest in bidding but USOC CEO Scott Blackmun made it clear that there will be no U.S. bid as long a there was no new revenue-sharing agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in place. The current agreement has caused tensions between the two organizations, impairing past U.S. Olympic bids from New York and Chicago.
On Sunday GamesBids.com reported that Las Vegas would be submitting a candidacy under the banner Vegas 2020, and that the group may move forward without USOC support. Typically the IOC only accepts applications from national Olympic committees so it is unlikely that the Vegas 2020 bid will be entertained.
The USOC has discussed possibly bidding for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games should a revenue-sharing deal be worked out. Denver and Reno-Tahoe are actively pursuing that opportunity.Write or read comments about this article

Spring has come back with a vengeance this last couple of days with blistering sunshine and rising temperatures that are set to hit 20 degrees Celsius by the weekend. The fresh snow that fell last weekend helped to give the off piste faces a freshen up and on the higher shaded slopes and it is here that the best snow is to be found.
The higher off piste free-ride runs that are in the shade, such as Chassoure and Gentianes, are covered in very big bumps at the moment. Off piste free-ride runs, such as Col de Gentianes and Mont Gele are also bumpy but the conditions are really spring like, with icy bumps in the morning and slushy snow by the afternoon. The risk of avalanche has stayed at 2 out of 5. As the temperatures continue to rise the snowpack will come under much more stress, particularly by the afternoon on lower sun facing areas, such as the face from Attelas all the way to Croix de Coeur.
On piste conditions are superb, with well groomed, smooth pistes in the morning and slushy bumps by the afternoon. The crowds were out Sunday to ski the pistes, enjoy the warm weather and relax on the terraces of the many mountain restaurants and bars. These crowds will quieten down as we slip into the week and the part of the season that is between February madness and the Easter period.
Over at Savoleyres it is even warmer but the shaded slopes down to Tzoumaz are still in great shape. In the morning I took some time to explore the south facing slopes that are on the Verbier side. These runs are gentle and rolling and are rarely busy. At the bottom of Tzoumaz the snow is starting to get very slushy and there are some patches of brown coming through but this is no different to the runs down to Medran and Le Rouge.
In town the big walls and piles of snow that built up over the season have all melted away which is great news if you are a driver or have been waiting for your terrace to melt. The resurgence of spring means that, very soon, we will be able to go rock climbing and biking in the valley whilst still having the treat of a mountain covered in snow too. That is why spring is my favourite time of the year.
At the moment the warm weather has allowed para-gliders to get up in the air and play in the gentle spring time thermals and at times there are as many as twenty spiralling effortlessly through the clear blue sky.
Sun is set to continue with very warm temperatures and light winds. The freezing level is expected to rise up to 3000m which will certainly help spring to continue advancing.

— Omarn Simpson
Bart the General is a series of animated short films made by the group known as "Famicon", and is based very, very loosely upon The Simpsons. It is also a complete and utter Mind Screw, the sort of stuff that would make David Lynch piss his pants. With an animation style that looks like it was drawn in Kid-Pix or MS Paint, and a narrative that cannot remain on one subject for any amount of time, the series is extremely surreal and frightening. The series comes in four parts with an apparent fifth, as the fourth ends with a TBC screen.Although the series is extremely hard to follow, the plot can best be summed up as this: Homer/Omarn Simpson is living a peaceful life in the quiet suburb of Duckburg, when one day a usurper named Toadfish, wearing an orange bowling shirt and sporting a New Zealand accent, arrives and kicks Omarn out on the street, taking Marge as his bride. Omarn is inconsolable, and spends most of his time either drinking away his sadness or hiding out at a safehouse owned by Ned Flanders. Meanwhile, the everyday events of Duckburg go on, with hilarious hijinks going on all the while, like Bart/Burton deciding to buy a Formula One racer, or a spiky haired guy falling down a well and getting trapped there with House.The narrative, at times, seems as though it is attempting to tell a straightforward story, but just when you think it's finally going to stick to one idea, some new strange event comes along and everyone's forgotten about the previous occurrences. Overall, the series is a strange one that definitely deserves a look.If you want to risk killing some brain cells, the videos are available here, on Famicon member GHXYK 2's old website: http://www.snakzstock.com/ghxyk2/archive.htmlSome time in 2011, the "Famicon" group released another Simpsons-related cartoon that may or may not be in canon with this series, called "The Blue Family."Not to be confused with The Simpsons season one episode of the same name.

Ok I am very new to Linux and since I had an old thinkpad 240x I thought why not check out Linux.
Problem is this device will not boot to anything except the hdd.
At the moment it runs windows ME dual with XP
I have tried Unetbootin to download/install Mint (and others) and the same to run a downloaded iso everything seems to go well but when I restart all I get is the same old windows boot manager showing XP or ME.
I have heard of things like grub and plop but have NO idea at all how to run them or use them
Ultimately I would like to install a ported version of Android
If anybody has ANY ideas please help, my hair has been well and truly pulled out.

Hey everyone,
I'm a newcomer to these forums, and actually do not currently own an installation of Linux. I am considering purchasing and installing a distribution, but I have a few concerns first.
I develop websites, and plan on doing so for a living. I have found Macromedia's products, Dreamweaver and Flash, and Adobe Photoshop to be extremely useful tools for creating my websites. I realize that these companies don't offer versions of their programs for Linux, so what I'm wondering is, should I stick with Windows XP (which works well, but is a memory hog, therefore slowing me down immensely), or are there other options out there for creating dynamic and pleasing websites, using Linux? The main thing that attracts me to Linux, is the wide availability of development tools, and the multiple desktops (with fast switching capability - my current vid card allows multiple desktops, but it takes forever to switch between them in XP)
So, if anyone has suggestions, as to whether I should just stick with what I have (and maybe get more memory), or switch to Linux. Or should I go with Mac? (an option that is excluded at this point due to funds)
A newbie,

The Calif.-based Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and Knott's Berry Farm have teamed up again in a unique opportunity to help service animals and handlers get accustomed to navigating public buses.The training day is set for early October in Fullerton. Handlers will have unlimited practice boarding, riding and exiting an OCTA bus with their service animals. The round-trip training bus will depart every 20 minutes and will follow a special bus route for training day attendees. "OCTA is proud to sponsor an event that opens the doors to independence for so many people who rely upon public transportation," said OCTA Chairman Paul Glaab, also the mayor of Laguna Niguel. "This is a one-of-a-kind experience that will allow handlers and service animals to feel secure in a real-world setting and we are pleased to continue offering this program."Handlers and service animals will have access to enter the Knott's Berry Farm theme park in order to train around large groups of people and various unfamiliar sights and sounds. Admission to the park does not include access to rides and attractions.This is the fifth year that OCTA and Knott's Berry Farm have provided this successful training opportunity, enabling service animals and their handlers to make riding a bus a familiar and relaxed experience.To date, the event has helped train nearly 850 service animals.

Copyright coalition: piracy more serious than burglary, fraud, bank robbery
NBC/Universal general counsel Rick Cotton suggests that society wastes entirely too much money policing crimes like burglary, fraud, and bank-robbing, when it should be doing something about piracy instead.
"Our law enforcement resources are seriously misaligned," Cotton said. "If you add up all the various kinds of property crimes in this country, everything from theft, to fraud, to burglary, bank-robbing, all of it, it costs the country $16 billion a year. But intellectual property crime runs to hundreds of billions [of dollars] a year."

More Bear Sites Galore!
There have been a lot of changes in the online bear world with big closings by Bruizr, BigBearDen, and even Bear Central.
While it's sad to see these big sites go, it has also been interesting to see some of the smaller sites grow and users search for another home for their bear needs.
So I went searching for the sites that survived and even some new comers!
Keep in mind that my reviews are based only on my own thoughts, go look through these sites yourself and find the ones you like with the guys you want.
Woofdate is a site geared toward men in Europe and western Russia. It has a nice design, but not a huge member base.
The site also makes a point of "verifying" it's users, though it is unclear how that is done.
Chasabl (Chaseable) Is a new site for bears/cubs/chubs and their chasers. It's an interesting take on social networking as it revolves around sorting your searches by age and body type. It has a very facebook-like layout and newsfeed as well.
Bear Underground
Bearunderground.net has long been a supporter of this site and has grown from a fledgling social network with a couple of members, to one that's quickly becoming one of the fastest growing bear sites around. One of the reasons I enjoy the site so much as because it's free. There isn't a charge to join, see other's pics or visit the chat rooms.
Bigger Bear Network
BBN has a very clean interface and likes to keep things simple. It's a great free site with a good selection of members from all over the world. The site is still in beta, so keep that in mind as you browse around. Be sure to make suggestions about features you would like to see as well.
Bearwww is a bit cluttered for my tastes. It's reminiscent of bear411 with it's messaging system and the annoying bear growl that sounds when you get a message. Granted, you can turn the sound off, and they do have a good selection of members who love to chat. Also charges for premium acccess.
Bear Forest
One of, if not the oldest site on the list, Bear forest has maintained it's design for a while now. It has a wealth of members, but only allows you to receive 10 messages at a time before closing your inbox and blocking any further emails until you read and delete some. Of course you get unlimited messages if you pay for premium membership. One thing the site does have going for it is members. It has lots of them.
HeftyNet is the Facebook for bears that bearbook wanted to be. It has a similar layout and flow as fb with plenty of options for connecting with other members. The site does restrict some features to premium members only, but the subscription fee is $20 for a year, so that's not entirely bad.
First step in even visiting this site is creating a profile. You aren't allowed to view other profiles until you do.
As soon as you create your profile, you're sent to an upgrade page which give you the option of doing a 3 day trial for $7.95 and reccurs monthly for $29.95. Or doing a 3 month subscription for $39.99. as far as options go, you don't get much if you don't pay. Limited Email sending, no instant messaging, no access to chat rooms. This is not my favorite of the sites i've visited.
Gay Bear Nation
Gay Bear Nation strikes me as a cookie cutter dating site that has inserted the word "Gay Bear" where it might have been "gay man" or "lesbian". I honestly couldn't be bothered to create a profile here because i'm not even sure what would be done with my info. Use at your own risk.
If there is a site i've missed, please let me know and i'll be sure to include it here!

Basic academic program requirements
Additional details of academic program
requirements are outlined below and in the CES Student
Program Curriculum
The CES program is
comprised of three components: core courses, field experiences, and
research courses. Coursework requirements in all areas must be
satisfied with no less than a 'C' in each course. No more than
two 'C's' are permitted during the course of study.
Field experiences take the form of a 3 credit practicum
experience followed by three 3 credit internship placements. The
practicum experience is clinically-based and provides a setting
wherein students can practice these skills. During the course of
the three internship experience, students must focus on skill
building in 3 of the 5 doctoral core areas (Counseling, Teaching,
Supervision, Research and Scholarship, and Leadership and
Advocacy). Field experience placements are developed by the
student, in concert with his or her advising committee.
Comprehensive Exam
The comprehensive examination is another method for evaluating
students' academic knowledge at the end of their academic
program. The comprehensive examinations (written and oral)
are critical components of students' academic evaluation.
Written Comprehensive
Examinations: The CES written comprehensive exam assesses
students' knowledge in each of the core areas of the doctoral
student learning outcomes including:
Each written comprehensive
examination is graded by multiple doctoral faculty.
Oral Comprehensive
Examinations: In addition to the written comprehensive
examination, the oral comprehensive examination also serves to
assess students' academic competence in the areas listed
above. The faculty who comprise the student's doctoral
committee evaluate students; therefore, the student's academic
competence is evaluated by a minimum of three doctoral faculty
The dissertation process will consist of the successful
completion of at least 9 dissertation hours, a defended proposal
and a dissertation defense, all approved by the assigned
dissertation committee.
Proposal Defense:
The dissertation proposal will be presented to the doctoral
student's dissertation committee comprised of at least 3 doctoral
faculty members. A copy of the proposal will be made available to
each committee member at least 30 days prior to the date of the
Defense: The completed dissertation will be presented to
the doctoral student's dissertation committee comprised of at least
3 doctoral faculty members. A copy of the dissertation will be made
available to each committee member at least 30 days prior to the
date of the defense.

Sarah Palin on The O'Reilly Factor: Still Bashing Family Guy, Plugging Facebook Pageby Free Britney at . Comments
Ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is steamed, and rightfully so, over some blatantly tasteless Down Syndrome mockery on last weekend's episode of Fox's Family Guy - a low blow clearly inspired by her own mentally challenged child.
But man, does she love any excuse to run her mouth.
On The O'Reilly Factor, Palin reiterated how offended she is at the Family Guy quotes that ridiculed her family (as they do everyone and everything else).
In between about 37 plugs for daughter Bristol's Facebook page, Sarah righteously saddled up on her high horse to promote Sarah Palin defend son Trig.
She also demanded that White House Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel resign for using the term "retard" but defended Rush Limbaugh for the same thing.
Her defense of Rush is perhaps the most puzzling. Why not say he was wrong to use it too? Is this woman for real?! Check out her interview below:
Whose side are you on?
Family guy is a hack show that only the dangerously large 'cult of Hollywood' would defend on the basis of it's prime time viewership. Sarah is right to be upset. I don't like Sarah as a politician, but she's right to be annoyed and it's only the mindless, conformist masses of Hollywood zombies who disagree with her disgruntlement, and show similar support for anything else that has high ratings not matter how awful it is.
Of course Palin COMPLELETLY IGNORES the fact that it was a young lady with Down's Syndrome in real life playing the part of the character, who saw the job as a lot of fun and objected to Palin's comments as she felt that all people deserved to be treated equally. But you know, who needs facts when you can be HOLLYWOOD! Right Sarah?
$arah continues to be an air-head bubble-brain who talk$ loud, $ay$ nothing, and is still able to command a $alary for being $arah, and $he is teaching Bri$ol how to do the $ame!!
I didn't hear the R-word in what I've seen of this Family Guy episode. But lately, I hear everybody else throwing it around. Replace the N-word for the R-word and now how do these politicians sound? Sarah Palin is an idiot. I don't use the N-word or the R-word or the C-word for that matter because they offend me. It bothers me that Sarah Palin and so many other people throw it around like it's a part of their everyday vocabulary. Can we all spread the word that the R-word is offensive and hurtful?
Also, while I've got my 30 seconds here, what the hell is she referencing Facebook so much for? It's like she's still in high school, she thinks she's pretty cool, and she wants to prove to us how cool she is. Ugh, she just rubs me the wrong way.
Once again, Sarah Palin has been shown to be a hypocrite.
Here is the thing, MAYBE "Family Guy" was tasteless (personally I watched it and did not find it be so, but that's juyt ME)///BUT the issue is the double standard that $arah tries to perpetuate. She took issue with Rahm and WE said, "yeah, Palin is right!" BUT then Rush did the same thing and Palin defended LIMBAUGH!!! WTF????
So, now FAMILY GUY is wrong? Palin is setting herself up as THE DECIDER of what is offensive and what is not...of course, people aren't going to defend Palin THIS TIME. She is an hypocrite, a political opportunist. It's not about FAMILY GUY, it's about Palin letting Rush slide off the hook.
Thanks McFarland, for showing America just how far the Palin's
have their heads stuck up their a.s.s. Her baby is retarded and if they had been home long enough to look at him, they would have noticed that by now. McFarland just proved she is not
smart enough for the big leagues.lol
A.P: After eating dinnner at the Olive Garden, Sarah Palin took to Twitter to express outrage and dismay that her waiter didn't bring a second order of garlic breadsticks after she asked. "This is yet more examples of how the liberal media tries to ignore real, hard working Americans, by denying them breadsticks. Clearly Barack Obama's job stimulus has failed. How's my makeup?" The former half-term governor of the 47th least populated state in the union remarked. Her 17 Twitter fans agreed, as well as the 24 attendees at "Teabagger-Palooza," being held in the local Tea Klux Klan hall. Polls showed 98% of Americans no longer cared what Palin had to say about breadsticks. Regardless, the Sunday talkshows booked breadstick manufacturers, Olive Garden employees, people who'd eaten breadsticks and, of course, Newt Gingrich, John McCain and Joe Lieberman on all three networks for commentary on what they're now terming: "Breadstickgate."
stop giving Palin a reason to run her mouth and use it as her
She and her "TEA-BAGGERS" are a joke! Family Guy has hit it right on the head once again.

DEFINITION of 'Political Arbitrage Activity'
An arbitrage activity that involves trading securities based on knowledge of potential future political activity. It may be country-specific or region-specific, depending on the type of political activity envisaged. Impending government elections in a given country may prompt political arbitrage specific to that nation, while the threat of a war that could encompass a number of countries may trigger political arbitrage across the entire region.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Political Arbitrage Activity'
For example, if recent elections are likely to lead to the formation of a government that is not business friendly, a trader may short the benchmark equity index of that country in anticipation of a steep decline. As another example, if there is a distinct possibility of an imminent conflict in the Middle East, an arbitrageur or trader may short stocks of oil companies based in that region and initiate long positions on North American oil companies.

The final of Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 is nearly upon us and we've seen scenes of elation, deflation, ecstasy and agony.
Twelve teams have fought tirelessly over four match days to bring us an unforgettable, not to mention historic tournament which reaches its crescendo today in central Paris.
#WRWC2014 has received huge support through social media, in the press and through sell-out matches in Marcoussis and at Stade Jean Bouin. But the support has never been more passionate than from the friends and family of the players, who travel across the world to cheer on and encourage their loved ones.
England flanker Marlie Packer made a huge impression when she came on off the bench during the Red Roses' 40-7 semi-final victory over Ireland on Wednesday. Within moments she'd scored two tries, much to the joy of her mum Julie who was in the stands supporting.
"At this World Cup it's been lovely because there's been a group of parents and family. We've managed to sit together, with our England flags and hats supporting the girls,"explained Julie.
"You feel so proud but it's so surreal. There's my little girl running around on the field and you just think 'wow!' I know that it made her really happy and made the team happy to get through to the final."
Covered in mud but hooked on rugby
Marlie's rugby career hasn't happened overnight, she showed an aptitude for rugby from a young age.
"When she was about five years old, she went to a local rugby club," Julie explains. "I thought that she went to watch rugby but when she came back, she was covered in mud and that was it. There was no going back."
"She started playing touch and she gradually built up the physicality. She managed it really well. She played mixed rugby until she was 13 and she was just as physical as the boys."
So what's it like to cheer on your daughter as well as your country?
"I get so nervous! I woke up this morning and it dawned on me, they're in the final! I can't describe the feeling, I just want to get there and get on with the final."
As much as Julie wants to cheer her daughter on and catch up, she knows that Marlie has a job to do in Paris.
Double the support for Russells
"I don't get to see her that much but I think that they've got the balance right. The girls have had family time after each game so we've been able to take them out.
"There are times when the players find it hard and I think that it's really good that they have the support to talk it over with their family and other people close to them."
And the support doesn't just come from those close to the players.
"The girls have been telling us about all the support that they've been getting on all the social media sites. I've heard of articles and programmes about them which I'll look forward to watching when I get back to England."
Imagine what it is like to watch two daughters playing in a World Cup final. Sandy and Judy Russell will find out when captain Kelly and her sister Laura aim to help Canada secure a first Women's Rugby World Cup title.
The girls started playing after the family used to watch dad Sandy playing rugby at a local club. Mum Judy says that like Marlie, once Kelly and Laura started playing rugby, it was a a done deal.
"I was surprised when they started playing rugby," recalled Judy. "But once they played their first game, that was it!"
A family affair
Sandy remembers Kelly being sure that she would play no matter what.
"Kelly was still an infant on the side of the field when someone asked her what she thought of me playing rugby," explained Sandy. "She answered 'I don't know but I'm going to play!'. Although they told her that she couldn't play, because there were no girls' teams, she was still adamant that she would play and that came true."
The Russells have been in France supporting their daughters throughout the tournament but say that the support back home is really strong.
"Kelly and Laura's sister Jennifer coaches a provincial team in Canada," said Judy. "She's getting all of her team together to watch the final in Newfoundland. Family are going to pubs and sports clubs to watch. My sister is at a golf tournament so she's going to take over the TV when the girls are on!
"It's really special being here to support not only our girls, but the whole team, most of whom we've seen grow up."

Chemists in the Real World
Antonio dos Santos, Instrument Scientist
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Ph.D., Materials Science (Magnetoelectric Oxides)
Antonio dos Santos has worked as an instrument scientist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for five years. He looks after a one-of-a-kind neutron diffractometer that is dedicated to high-pressure crystallographic research. He makes sure that the diffractometer is operating smoothly, and he provides scientific support to researchers who use this instrument.
Instrument users come from all over the U.S. and around the world, and some have never worked with this type of instrument before. Others are more experienced, but may require special adaptations or experimental conditions to perform their work. Scientists who use the diffractometer rely on dos Santos for help with experimental setups and data collection conditions that will yield the most useful information for their purposes. "We are all about supporting the users and their science," he says.
His graduate work focused on the materials science of magnetoelectric oxides, and he received his Ph.D. in 2002. Afterward, he did a postdoctoral research fellowship on the structures and properties of luminescent oxides. After a second postdoctoral fellowship, which relied heavily on high-pressure neutron diffraction at Oak Ridge, dos Santos was offered a staff position to continue his work on the high-pressure diffractometer.
What's a typical day on the job like?
A big part of my job is working with users. When they are setting up their projects, I help them evaluate what experiments are doable, and how they can set things up to best get the information they need from their data. I help them determine if our instrument is the best one to do their experiment, or if another instrument would be more suitable. We figure out the best sample configurations, data collection parameters, and software setup for their purposes.
When I am not directly engaged with an experiment at the instrument, I help users with their data or writing new proposals, and I help review the manuscripts they are preparing for publication. I participate in designing new improvements for the instrument, and doing mostly what is considered "office" work.
When it comes to providing support to users at the beamline (the experimental area where the diffractometer is located), then the pace really changes. The day is spent at the instrument, getting set up, loading samples in pressure cells or other devices, and aligning them in the neutron beam, training users in beamline operations and how to use our software. Finally, we make sure the data looks as it should — the neutron beam isn't hitting the edge of the high pressure cell, the instrument hasn't become misaligned, or similar problems.
When I'm not assisting visiting users, I work on my own research projects. I also think about ways to develop the instrument to keep it relevant for the user communities we support — geologists, chemists, condensed matter physicists. We also support theorists in validating their models. Almost all the research is basic research, because most applied research projects don't need the extreme high pressures we use.
Are there any apps/software/instrumentation/tools that you can't live without?
I do data reduction using Mantid, software developed by a consortium of neutron scattering facilities. I extract crystallographic structural information from the powder diffraction profiles using Fullprof and GSAS to perform Rietveld refinement. I use the Python programming language to customize the data collection setup, to put all the other software together, and automate the data extraction from the hundreds of data files that one experiment can generate.
Describe your work environment.
The instrument where I work is situated in a walk-in concrete enclosure called a hutch. The hutch also contains detectors, electronics racks, optical systems, pressure chambers, and other sample environments (think bunker-meets-spaceship environment). The hutch shields the people outside from the neutrons that are scattered while an experiment is in progress. You set up your experiment inside, and then go outside to monitor and control your data collection using computers in a nearby office. When I am not at the instrument, setting up experiments, I sit in my office, working on the computer, mostly helping users either understand their past experiment or prepare for the next one.
Does your job follow a typical 9-to-5 schedule?
We put in a lot of hours, including nights and weekends, during times where there is neutron production at the facility. This happens twice a year, in 4.5-month cycles. We work especially long hours when we are responsible for running an experiment. Those times when I'm on call as the "local contact", I can't plan much of anything outside of work, because I can be called in to help at any time. I do go home every night, but I can't handle everything from home, and sometimes I have to go back to the lab to resolve an issue that has come up.
The rest of the time it gets more normal, but that's when we try to get our own projects done, schedule travel for conferences, and visit other labs, so you really stay busy all the time.
Typically, how many days each month do you spend away from your workplace on travel?
I am away from the office on travel between one and five days each month (sometimes more, sometimes less), visiting university departments to make presentations and collaborate with the researchers there, and going to conferences. I sometimes visit scientists at other facilities to see how they do things. Occasionally, I serve on Ph.D. thesis committees for graduate students who use our instrument.
What do you like most about your job?
Because I work on a scientific instrument that welcomes users from all over the world, I have the opportunity to work daily with experts from a number of different fields of research. I find it a privilege to engage in scientific discussions with other scientists, and I have a front row seat to witness great science in the making. On the other hand, I am also encouraged to pursue my own scientific interests and remain engaged with my collaborators, so for me it's a win–win situation!
What's your best productivity trick?
I automate and simplify all that is repetitive, as I easily get tired of repeating the same process over and over. I always want (and need) to spend more time on the new stuff that keeps showing up.
What's the best career advice you've received?
Whenever you are engaged in conversation, always try to listen longer than you speak.
Do you have any special talents or traits that make you a great fit for your job?
I think that curiosity and a broad scientific background are key when you work in this environment and have to remain excited about 20 different scientific experiments that you have during the year.
What essential habit do you have now that you wish you'd started much earlier?
I try to keep my to-do list tidy. I really try to deal with the small tasks as soon as they come, as they often take much less time to complete than thought
What is your favorite ACS resource?
I think the conferences and the ACS publications are really useful, as they really provide a broad window on what's happening all over in the word of chemistry.
Whenever you are engaged in conversation, always try to listen longer than you speak."

Guestbook comments from the owner
In January 2013, I searched the web for a place to stay in the North Conway area for a get away ski weekend. Jim & Traci's condo turned out to be the perfect place for my husband, myself and one other couple. We were looking for a place to stay close to the Jackson X-Country Ski Center. It was our first time skiing Jackson, and the trails did not disappoint us. The condo is located in a great place, as it was only a 15 minute drive to our destination in Jackson, NH.
The condo was very clean (most important aspect to me), tastefully decorated, and uncluttered. Since I like to cook, we ate in both nights and there were all the kitchen essentials necessary for meal preparation. The Cuisinart coffee maker was a key piece of equipment -- we love good coffee in the morning. The only thing missing was a coffee bean grinder so I brought my own from home for the weekend.
The propane heater in the condo works very well in heating both floors, so it was very cozy warm inside. It works so well we had to turn it way down at night when we went to bed otherwise it would have been too hot for sleeping. We had a fire in the fireplace Saturday night but it was more for the effect than the need for heat! The living room was a great place to hang out and chat, especially with a romantic fire going in the fireplace.
The queen size bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The mattress is in good shape and the best T.V. in the house is in this bedroom. Our friends enjoyed good sleep in the other bedroom as well.
Even though there were other people staying in the condo next door to us, we did not hear them from inside our unit. The only time we heard any noise from the next door neighbors is when they started their car.
So it was a peaceful, quiet place for our get away weekend. We enjoyed the fact that it was tranquil at night, no loud parties around, so we could just relax, listen to music, and have conversation. We would definitely recommend this condo for people like us (in our 50's) who just want a clean, quiet place to stay, close to great ski centers during the winter months.

text: Fitness Legend Richard Simmons: 'The Obamas Have Rejected Me' Print article Send a Tip by Frances Martel 27 Nov 2013 post a comment Add to the chorus of celebrities piling on the Obamas this Thanksgiving the fitness legend Richard Simmons. Speaking to HuffPost Live Wednesday afternoon, Simmons lamented that while he "loved" Michelle Obama, he had been "totally" rejected by the White House. "I wanted to meet them both, [but] they have rejected me—totally, totally," Simmons told HuffPost Live, casting suspicions on any claim that the White House is making all possible efforts to promote fitness in America. Simmons described his support for the First Lady's "Let's Move" program and said that he had reached out to try to participate and promote the fitness efforts from the White House but had been cast aside. "I'm just not their set of sheets," he explained. Simmons took issue to being asked if his "flamboyancy" was the issue at hand. Calling it an "ugly question," he answered instead that he was "not a very political person," but, knowing a thing or two about getting people to lose weight, he thought he could help. The exercise guru did express some political opinions. "Congress and Senate, they are always fighting... we need to try to get along in this country," he implored. "No one has insurance... it's just a mess." Simmons concluded by shaking off the rejection from the Obama administration. He was, he explained, a symbol of self-acceptance, even when "the host talks about your flamboyancy" despite wearing clothes that did not please Simmons. Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign has fielded a number of controversies, from the postal stamps deemed too "unsafe" for children to see to the fact that its official website continued to operate while the Amber Alert system shut down during the government shutdown. Watch Richard Simmons deliver his allegations of neglect on HuffPost Live below:

Traveling to events can put horse health to the test. Maybe it's a trip to a training session or a big show like the upcoming All American Quarter Horse Congress. Unfortunately, this can be the time of year when upper respiratory disease, such as equine influenza, is all too common.
Whenever you expose your horse to other horses, you pose a risk to his health. But there are things you can do to help protect your horse from disease — most importantly, vaccination.
Without vaccination against equine influenza virus (EIV), horse owners can face a financial risk of up to $885, based on diagnostics, treatment and days of missed training.* The Equine Influenza Calculator app compares the cost of vaccination with the cost to treat for disease and training days lost. Using the calculator, a horse owner or veterinarian can determine equine influenza risk depending on the horse's vaccination status and help create an effective vaccination program. The Equine Influenza Calculator app is available for free in the Apple® App Store®
Gladstone, N.J.- The 2014 Platinum Performance/USEF Talent Search Finals East came to an exciting conclusion Sunday at the USET Foundation Headquarters as Geoffrey Hesslink was crowned champion. Following the completion of Phase III, Andre Dignelli-trainees Hesslink with Peacock Ridge LLC's Canny Windsor Z, Lillie Keenan with Isabelle Caccamise's Catwalk 19, and Caitlin Boyle with Chansonette Farm LLC's Zentina B, joined Stacia Madden-trained Megan MacPhearson with Meridian Partners LLC' Class Action atop the leaderboard. The four were called back for the final Phase where each rider completed an eight-obstacle course on their own horse, and then the three other riders' horses.
Lexington, Ky. - The last USEF National Combined Driving Champions of 2014 were crowned during the final day at the Kentucky Classic CDE as drivers guided their horses and ponies through Richard Nicoll's 20-obstacle cones course at the Kentucky Horse Park.
USEF National Pairs Championship
Misdee Wrigley Miller (Lakewood Ranch, Fla.) earned her second USEF National Pairs Championship title. Maneuvering her pair through the course with a single ball down at 6D, Wrigley Miller had a final score of 130.75.
"It was a very challenging course," Wrigley Miller explained. "The horses were good, they responded when I needed them to, and I'm just over the moon."
Lexington, Ky. – This weekend the West coast dressage community will descend upon Epona Farms as it hosts the second USEF/USET Foundation Dressage Pipeline Clinic.

Upper Marlboro, Md. - The top six hunter riders in the country went head to head over three rounds Friday at The Capital Challenge Horse Show, and Kelley Farmer took the top spot.

In the first round, the high score went to Sandy Ferrell on All The Right Moves, with an 88.16. In round two, Hunt Tosh and Askaro jumped to a high score of 91.33.

Since the CIC3* is a member event of the 2014 PRO Series Tour, Carpenter's prizes included a seven-dose box of Adequan, $350 in Nunn Finer products, a Smart Pak Wellfleet Eventer Bridle and $200 toward a Point Two Air Jacket.

- Studio: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)
- Release Date: Jan 12, 1996
- Starring: Pauly Shore, Stephen Baldwin
- Summary: Five brave scientists are forced to face life forms more perplexing, more terrifying, more annoying than anything they've ever encountered: Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin. (MGM)
- Director: Jason Bloom
- Genre(s): Comedy

Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 10
Mixed: 1 out of 10
Negative: 9 out of 10
Even with the low expectations any reasonable viewer brings to a Shore flick, this rates only stupid-plus. The bongs-and-pajamas set, though, should be riveted.
A potentially amusing comic premise -- dropping a pair of anarchic stoners into the spaced-out, sanctimonious world of New Age bio-dome enthusiasts -- gets submerged in a shower of witless gags and the feeble one-joke persona of MTV celebrity Pauly Shore.
Neither the script nor direction lives up to the concept, and the picture evolves into a "Bio"-degradable hash rather than a zany sendup of potent issues and serious intents gone awry.
The sheer ineptitude of the movie is supposed to be funny, but there's no lunacy behind it: Shore and his writers are like comedians on Prozac, smiling through the fart jokes without a hint of desperation.
[Shore] seems convinced that the antics of his retarded persona amount to some manner of postmodernist anti-comedy and this makes the resultant boredom seem all the more pathetic.
Pauly Shore is less a comedian than a class clown, and his dim-witted mugging makes Jim Carrey's antics seem creative triumphs by comparison. Vapid, vulgar, and more to the point, not funny.
Thoroughly incoherent... A dreary fizzle. [12 Jan 1996, p.C12]

ChrisG.Nov 13, 2009I guess the fact that this has been voted as the worst movie prooves that opinions defer. I like Pauly Shore movies, and I rate this as one of his best.

Being obsessed with all things September Issue-related, we were over the moon to be invited to meet director RJ Cutler at London's Soho Hotel – and even more excited when we spotted the director in the hotel reception, wearing sunglasses. How very Anna Wintour ('I wore sunglasses indoors long before I made this film' he later assured us).
But what we really wanted to ask about was Grace Coddington. She wouldn't have any part of the filming for four months: Was she really terrifying, or just shy? According to RJ, she was neither, she simply 'hated the idea – she had a complete distaste for it. She saw us as an invading army and assumed there was a hidden agenda. It took months, but the breakthrough came when I realised that Grace's career was based around collaborations with photographers and storytellers. I suddenly thought, actually, you're going to love this! Just give us a chance! So I went to her and pleaded: Just give us one hour. So we filmed her for an hour, just hanging around in her rack doing what she does, moving her clothes around. And that was the beginning.'
After that, he says: 'I knew that people would feel about Grace the way I feel about Grace – she's extraordinary. She's great at what she does, she's a star. Her body of work is seminal,' he gushes, before quickly adding: 'But you know you could say all of the same things about Anna Wintour and I feel those things about Anna as well.' That said, it's Grace and not Anna he has been spotted out to dinner with lately ('well, of course, you work with people for months and months and of course you develop a relationship with them… I'm in touch with everybody,') he says.
Moving on, what about another Grazia office favourite, Andre Leon Tally? As well as being generally brilliant, he acted as RJ's guide to the fashion world during filming ('one of the first things he said to me was "if you want to know about fashion then you must come with me to Charvet" – a French clothier – "to see the work they did for Charles de Gaulle." How very fabulous). But what has RJ really learnt? We couldn't let him leave London without putting him to the Grazia Style Test…
1. Grazia: Which body part should women be emphasizing for AW 09?
RJ: No, not a clue, I'm not doing it. I made a film in 2007, I can talk to you about the chandelier earrings, they were big in 2007. But that's not the answer to your question.
2. Grazia: OK, let's try another: What colour is the famed sole of Christian Louboutin shoes?
RJ: Red.
3. Grazia: Yes! Which decade is having a fashion resurgence at the moment?
RJ: 80s
4. Grazia: Exactly, you do know! And this one you can guess. Which of these is set to be a big colour for Autumn Winter 09: Teal, White, Green, Yellow?
RJ: I can't answer, I don't want to be graded on fashion in Grazia and get a C-.
Grazia: Really?
RJ: Really.
5. Grazia: OK, this one isn't a trend and you should know because you're over here at the moment. Which anniversary is London Fashion Week celebrating this year?
RJ: Uh, 25?
6. Grazia: Yes. See? You're on a roll. Now, which of these is not a design partnership: Dolce and Gabbana, Felder and Felder, Victor and Rolf or Mitchell and Webb?
(RJ's PR Whispers 'Mitchell and Webb')
RJ: Mitchell and Webb.
7. Grazia: Erm, that's amazing, well done. Which It model is hailed as the saviour for real women and on the cover of this month's W magazine: Lara Stone, Agyness Deyn, Jourdan Dunn or Georgia May Jagger?
RJ: I don't know. Don't you want to know something about Cinema Verite?
Score: A respectable four out of seven (or three points to RJ and one to his PR)

Ultimate Cushion (More than you thought possible)
General Use Cushions
Ultimate Range
Medical Use
- Product Description
- Reviews
- Uses
- Video
The Extreme gel seat cushion is one of the best sitting experiences you will have. It is one of our most popular cushions and consistently receives 5 star reviews.
The Extreme is made in the USA from Wondergel to high manufacturing standards of quality and durability. This gel cushion will provide excellent sitting comfort for many years. It will never go flat, lose its shape or its great cushioning, or take a compression set. The gel composition of Wondergel is unique and patented.
At 2" deep it provides a deeper gel cushion than some of our other models.
Wondergel provides instant cushioning, unlike memory foam which is heat sensitive and needs to warm up. Unaffected by normal temperature it is heat neutral, feeling comfortable in all climates. Similarly, if its cold, it still provides instant comfort. It will not feel stiff even when cold, like other materials.
Made from patented "column buckling" technology the way this cushion works is different than traditional cushioning materials. See the section on this site which explains its unique technology and why it works so well.
If you need a cushion that provides full support while being extremely comfortable, then the Extreme is for you.
Write Your Own Review
The Extreme is a deeper cushion than some of our other models but is still highly portable with the built in carry handle.
This cushion is ideal for when you need comfort, support and pressure relief while being ok with sitting a little higher in the seat.
Our customers have used the Extreme in many places but here are a few favorites:
- motor vehicles
- truck drivers
- taxi drivers
- office use
- church pews
- benches
- stadiums and bleachers
- kitchen chairs
- airplanes and terminals
- cinemas
- wheelchairs

Living in the age of big data we ask what to do when we have the good fortune to be presented with a huge amount of supervised training data? Most often at large scale we are presented with the un-supervised problems of characterization and information extraction; but some problem domains offer an almost limitless supply of supervised training data (such as using older data to build models that predict the near future). Having too much training data is a good problem to have and there are ways to use traditional methods (like logistic regression) at this scale. We present an "out of core" logistic regression implementation and a quick example in Apache Hadoop running on Amazon Elastic MapReduce. This presentation assumes familiarity with Unix style command lines, Java and Hadoop.

What Did Theorists Do Before The Age Of Big Data?
We have been living in the age of "big data" for some time now. This is an age where incredible things can be accomplished through the effective application of statistics and machine learning at large scale (for example see: "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data" Alon Halevy, Peter Norvig, Fernando Pereira, IEEE Intelligent Systems (2009)). But I have gotten to thinking about the period before this. The period before we had easy access to so much data, before most computation was aggregation and before we accepted numerical analysis style convergence as "efficient." A small problem I needed to solve (as part of a bigger project) reminded me what theoretical computer scientists did then: we worried about provable worst case efficiency.

2013 Chevrolet Volt
Chevrolet has taken an aggressive tack to move units of its revolutionary Volt, selling a fair number to government agencies, offering really fantastic lease deals and marketing the hell out of the car. After a week of driving (and generally enjoying) the 2013 iteration of the extended-range hatchback, I tend to think that customers should just take advantage of the current confluence of market forces rather than bemoaning the larger state of affairs with General Motors as a whole. After all, one of the biggest knocks on the Volt has always been that its MSRP is too high, a fact that la... Read More
