MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Interim University of Wisconsin System President Richard Telfer has appointed search committee to help find the next UW-Stout chancellor.
System officials say Telfer has appointed 21 people, including 11 UW-Stout faculty and two students, to the committee.
The panel will conduct a national search and will recommend five finalists to the system president and Board of Regents selection committee.
That committee will forward one name to the full Board of Regents for a hiring decision.
The university is looking for someone to replace Chancellor Charles W. Sorenson, who announced last month he plans to retire in August.
The regents last week appointed UW-Extension and UW Colleges Chancellor Ray Cross as the new system president.
Telfer is serving as president until Cross takes over in mid-February.

"How warm is a reading 6/10 for your spider posh jacket? I do feel the cold!"
Question by on 2/19/2014 - 11:33 am
"If you get cold easily then you may need to consider a more heavily insulated jacket. This jacket offers 60g of Primaloft insulation which is the highest quality insulation you can get but you would need a higher gram amount. You can take a look at our warmest jackets here!"
Answer by Sarah (Peter Glenn Staff) on 5/19/2014 - 1:14 pm
"I am a size 8 Australia but I am worried that the size 6 jacket will be too short as I am about 6 foot. Would the size 6 be too short? "
Question by Tessa on 8/2/2014 - 3:45 am
"The size 6 Center back measures 25.5" so I would compare that measurement to a jacket that you currently have to see how where the jacket would fall on you. "

'Masterpieces of Polish Cinema' at Northwest Film Forum
Northwest Film Forum screens "Martin Scorsese Presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema," beginning July 7 with the 1966 Egyptian epic "Pharaoh" and concluding July 11 with the 1957 wartime drama "Eroica." All eight films have been digitally remastered.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie preview
'Martin Scorsese Presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema'
July 7-11 at Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave., Seattle; $70 ($40 for members) for series passes, $11 ($6) for individual tickets (206-329-2629 or www.nwfilmforum.org).
Polish films scored big-time with audiences at this year's Seattle International Film Festival, with Pawel Pawlikowski's "Ida" and Maciej Pieprzyca's "Life Feels Good" singled out for Golden Space Needle honors, and Polish director Roman Polanski's French-language "Venus in Fur" winning prizes from full-series passholders.
Reviews for all three pictures tended to wax nostalgic about earlier Polish cinema, including Polanski's 1963 debut, "Knife in the Water," and Andrzej Wajda's 1958 classic, "Ashes and Diamonds." The latter, a Martin Scorsese favorite, will be shown later this fall at Northwest Film Forum.
In the meantime, NWFF will be screening "Martin Scorsese Presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema," beginning July 7 with Jerzy Kawalerowiczz's 1966 Egyptian epic "Pharaoh" and concluding July 11 with Andrzej Munk's 1957 wartime drama "Eroica." The series is copresented with the Seattle Polish Film Festival.
All eight films have been digitally remastered, with new English-language subtitles, thanks partly to Scorsese's restoration efforts (Jedrzej Sablinski is given much of the credit for the actual restoration work).
Here's the lineup:
"Pharaoh," at 7 p.m. July 7. In stark contrast to glittery Hollywood movies about Moses or Cleopatra, this three-hour 1966 tale of a power-hungry young pharaoh emphasizes primitive politics and dynamic crowd scenes. It was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign-language film but lost to "A Man and a Woman." (Also among the losers that year was the groundbreaking "Battle of Algiers.")
"Jump," at 7 p.m. July 8. Tadeusz Konwicki directed this 1965 star vehicle for then-rising star Zbyszek Cybyluski (also known as the Polish James Dean). It's described as a western set in 1960s Poland.
"Mother Joan of the Angels," at 9 p.m. July 8. Three years before tackling "Pharaoh," Kawalerowicz directed this haunting portrait of a convent populated by possessed nuns. Ken Russell later covered similar territory in "The Devils," but in a much gaudier manner.
"Black Cross," at 7 p.m. July 9. Aleksander Ford's 166-minute 1960 epic, also known as "Knights of the Teutonic Order," focuses on a nobleman returning from a war in Lithuania. Often described as the most popular Polish movie ever made.
"The Wedding," at 7 p.m. July 10. Wajda's 1972 film of a 1901 verse play about a peasant girl's marriage to a city poet.
"The Hourglass Sanatorium," at 9 p.m. July 10. Wojciech J. Has directed this dreamy 1973 adaptation of Bruno Schulz's fantasy about the walking dead. (Has also directed the equally trippy "Saragossa Manuscript," which will be shown at NWFF in October.)
"Camouflage," at 7 p.m. July 11. Krzysztof Zanussi's 1977 summer-camp satire, about the uncomfortable relationship of a professor and his assistant.
"Eroica," at 9 p.m. July 11. The summer series ends with Andrzej Munk's 1957 mixture of two wartime stories: one about a black marketeer involved in the anti-Nazi underground, the other about survival techniques in a concentration camp.

reviews & comments (176)
I love black and white cookies and these are fantastic. This made closer to 6 cookies for me, not 8. And instead of buttermilk, I used a milk/lemon juice substitute. Other than that, I followed everything else exactly and it turned out great, and the cookie was perfect. I've read several complaints about the frosting but I think it actually works well with the cookie; love the lemon in the white frosting. Would definitely make again, probably doubling the recipe!
AMAZING! I put a little too much water in the icing so it stayed a little sticky (I'll do better next time, and there WILL be a next time with this one). The cookies were light and fluffy and I made two batches and they both came out perfect so I know that it's a sturdy reliable recipe. The icing is a little tricky, but I'm sure with practice it'll be perfect too. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
Whatever you do, do not use the icing in this recipe!! It tastes soapy like confectioners sugar, it's really nasty. The cookie part is FABULOUS though.
This is the second recipe I have tried for B&W cookies. On Allrecipes.com they have a recipe that is very dry and not flavorful at all. So far this one is far superior. A few adjustments that I made according to many comments are the following: -instead of 1/3 c. of butter add a 1/2 c. -instead of 1/3 c. of buttermilk add a 1/2 c. as well -I put 1/4 lemon in cookie batter...per another recipe. I didn't mind it I might just put 1/8th next time. -REDUCE LEMON flavoring in icing to 1/4!!! Unless you really like lemon. -I coated my fingers with spray pan coating and smoothed the cookies into two inch circles. I also lightly coated the pan with spray. -For the icing I made two batches. -Vanilla icing: Make the regular recipe except use milk or cream instead of water to make it more opaque. -Chocolate icing: I used the double boiler method and put 1/4 c. of semisweet Ghiradelli morsels; about a 1/2c. of confectioners sugar; 1 T of lght corn syrup; 1 T of water; and 1/4 t. of vanilla. It tasted good. I only cooked the cookies for 10 minutes and they were done. They were fluffy and tasty.
Loved, loved, LOVED the cookies. The frosting... ehhh... It's not particularly good in my opinion. But maybe I just have too much of a sweet tooth. :)
I didn't make the cookies, only the icing. I used to live north of NYC and thought I knew of all the delicacies that the City has to offer. But before we went there recently, a friend asked me to find these cookies for her. I looked all over, except never made it into Dean & Deluca. Should have gone in because I heard they are the best. Anyway, found them in NJ. I really didn't care for them. They're cakey and nothing special. Maybe you had to grow up with them... But I wanted to give some to my friend, so gave her a couple of store-bought ones, and my version. I used my best sugar cookie recipe and iced them with this icing recipe and a little bit of coarse white sparkling sugar on the white side only. VERY, very good. My friend liked mine much better. I made 2 mistakes, which I'll correct next time. 1) Didn't ice the back (would make it more flat) 2) Used dark chocolate chips in place of powder. This is not good beings you've also used water and lemon juice. It sets up too quickly and doesn't "ice" the cookie. Make sure you use the cocoa powder. I know my cookies weren't "authentic", but they tasted great and looked awesome.
I made a vegan version of these cookies that was tasty and very different from the cookies I usually make; this is a cakey, iced cookie with a texture very similar to a pancake. Next time I think I will increase the amount of baking soda and sift the dry ingredients to get a lighter, fluffier cookie.
There is another recipe, which appears to make more sense, on the Glaser's Bakery website under "Articles."
These cookies are amazingly delicious! I love the lemony zest the white side provides. The frostings balance each other well. Only difference I made, I didn't have buttermilk so I mixed one half 1% milk with half non-fat plain yogurt. These cookies are best the next day after they have completely cooled and frosting sets. I wouldn't make minis of this cookie. Big size is better for flavor.

Pay for union workers in West Virginia is 11.1 percent higher, on average, than for nonunion workers.
That's the finding of a joint study released Thursday by the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C., and the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy in Charleston.
The study is called "The Union Advantage for Low-Wage Workers." It found that union membership made an even bigger difference for low-wage workers, giving them an estimated 15.8 percent more than their nonunion counterparts.
Unionized workers also are more likely to receive paid leave, health insurance or an employer-provided pension plan.
Ted Boettner is director of the West Virginia agency. He says unions can help shrink the state's growing income inequality.
The study found that 15.4 percent of West Virginia workers are either members of a union or covered by a union contract at their workplace.

A member of the House of Representatives, Mr Opeyemi Bamidele, on Tuesday emerged as the Labour Party candidate in the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti.
Bamidele, a lawyer and former Commissioner for Information in Lagos State, emerged through voice affirmation at the party's primaries held in Ado-Ekiti.
Delegates from all the 177 wards in the state elected Bamidele through a 'yes' vote since no other aspirant contested against him.
There was tight security at the venue of the election, with officials of INEC and other stakeholders in attendance to monitor the exercise.
The Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Joseph Akinlaja, led other leaders of the party from Abuja to the venue.
Speaking while presenting the Labour Party flag to Bamidele, Akinlaja cited Article 27(3) of the party's constitution as basis for his emergence.
He said the party's constitution allows for ratification of an aspirant as candidate in a situation where nobody contested against such candidate.
In his acceptance speech, Bamidele pledged to win Ekiti for the party, promising to work with other stakeholders to move the state forward.

Our roots are deeply embedded in the lush farmlands of Southwest Virginia. They are nourished by modern-day farmers who employ age-old techniques, hard-working heroes who nurture not only the people, but the land as well. We've gotten to know these local farmers and are better for it. They help us keep time with the rhythms of the seasons. Sun-ripened tomatoes in the summer, hearty root vegetables in the winter - we serve what is fresh and natural at the peak of its flavor.
Our roots are fed by a philosophy we call S.O.L.E.: Sustainable, Organic, Local, Ethical. It's a principle that guides us as we decide from whom to source our meats and vegetables. It also informs our beverage program.

- NiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014The service was superb, the food great. Just a few selections, but all were interesting. Desserts were outstandingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quaint, Earnest, and NiceNinaVIPDined on 11/2/2014The eat-local farm-to-table ethos is great, the food was quite good, but it's a little too amateurish for the perfect dining experience. I asked if I could have a biscuit as a side and was told the chef had made just enough for the biscuit and sausage dish. (Surely they could have risked just one, or planned better in the first place.) And they don't have espresso, which seems to be a general issue in even the most sophisticated-seeming restaurants in Roanoke and Lexington, VA. Wine list had good local wines, too. Charming, but not great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best place for hundreds of milessidhe7VIPDined on 10/23/2014Encountered this gem on a business trip and was very pleased. Food was outstanding and well presented. Beverage selections were diverse, well curated and priced. Service was the best I've had in quite some time, unobtrusive yet attentive and kind. I will always come here when in Roanoke. Especially helpful they are next to the classic Grandin theater, which makes for a great double feature evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great FindLivingOnTheBeachVIPDined on 10/21/2014Found this restaurant on TripAdvisor, while traveling from NYC to Fort Lauderdale. We were not disappointed. Nice ambiance, friendly & attentive service, not overbearing. Decent wine list with a few local varieties that paired nicely with the oysters (outstanding - served in a brine- cocktail/horseradish sauce unnecessary), an heirloom carrot & wheat berry salad (very interesting in a good way), a mixed green salad with pickled onions, AND most importantly the grilled trout served over all sorts of tomatoes (green, and pickled and others) and Fuji apples with an aioli sauce. A pleasant way to wrap-up a 450+ mile road trip. Thanks to Ken, our waiter, for making us feel at home. PS- there is a full bar, and a nice local following.Special Features:

We have employees that often visit us from France and as food goes France is know for their wonderful culinary experience...so it is a great thing when we have someone visit from France and they are impressed! Overall our event was wonderful. I do wish there was an area in the restaurant that was offered for quieter dinning...it was not easy to have conversation...it is rather loud in the restaurant. Other than that it was fabulous!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great in every way...RenaDined on 10/2/2014We were not disappointed with our long anticipated meal at Local Roots! Eager to return when we are passing through Roanoke again en route to see our children in DC. We arrived at 8:00 pm and though it was the end of the evening on this week night, we felt as welcome as if it had npben earlier. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tuesday night dinnerBriarLeeDined on 9/30/2014Have eaten here several times and it has been very consistent in terms of excellent fresh flavors and creatively presented plating. The Fall salad that two of had was fantastic with heirloom tomatoes and beets. Entrees: Broth for the muscles was salty but flavor was good. My scallops had a perfect sear on one side and were served over sea island peas. If you like fresh locally sourced food with combinations of texture and flavor you can't go wrong at Local Roots.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A mix of ages and styles of people, it was interesting to people watch as we waited for our food and sipped on wine. The food was fresh and flavorful. The service was friendly and informed. The only downfall was perhaps the wait time for the food -- while I don't like to rush a meal, everything took a really long time to come out. In any case, we enjoyed the night and the food was exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We were allowed time to chat, catch up and relax after an hours drive. I had their eggs benedict which was exceptional. My eggs were cooked to perfection. Our waiter was attentive but not a member of our party. Everyone at our table enjoyed their choices from trout to french toast and biscuits. I am a cook and a foodie and Local Roots met my needs and left an impression. I look forward to going there for dinner.Special Features:
- Fresh, Local & Good ValueLampedusa7990VIPDined on 7/25/2014This place was a great find! We are from Washington DC, so we were pleased to experience two apps, two entrees, a decent bottle of wine and a shared dessert for around $125 before gratuity. The food was fresh and flavorful and the service was impeccable. The entree portions were adequate and on par with fine dining. Our only nit was the wine list to which one might apply some creativity and depth. Overall, this was an outstanding meal and an excellent value for the money. We shall return...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousSensationalDined on 7/5/2014Cosmo martini's are the best in the valley as is the food. Fresh, organic and service is outstanding.Special Features:
- Wonderful Meal!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 6/26/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! The owner came over to welcome us and to tell us about his restaurant. All the food is locally grown and they have local wines as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GreatfessmiqDined on 6/21/2014My wife and I love Local Roots. It's perfect if you want to splurge or simply catch a drink and lighter fare.Special Features:
- Great Place for Great FoodSesrunDined on 6/6/2014The cheese plate was delicious as was our main courses. This place has a wonderful beer club too, and after joining you can get beer flights of their ever changing drafts (plus discounted growler fills). Wonderful place. I can't wait to come back for farther's day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely ambience, great foodmariacheeseDined on 6/1/2014I went here with a group of friends for a Sunday "family dinner," wherein the usual dinner menu is jettisoned and they serve locally-sourced, seasonal fare that is meant to be shared among a group. There were lamb, trout and vegetarian entree choices, all of which were delicious. The cocktails were delicious and the desserts were also tasty and well-done. It is certainly one of the better restaurants in the area and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates locally sourced food that is simple and cooked well.Special Features:
- Great food, great place!SandyBDined on 5/25/2014Fantastic food in a family atmosphere. The decor was wonderful and the host was truly friendly! The food was all local and delicious. If only I lived in Roanoke, I would go there every week!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- superbrockmeisterVIPDined on 5/21/2014Hard to say enough good - everything was spot on from the service to the wine flights to the kale salad to the oysters to the fish entrees. Presentations and combinations of flavors make this the best restaurant in Roanoke/Salem without the snootiness.Special Features:
- Good but room for improvementarahsoDined on 5/11/2014The food was excellent, really enjoyed the drinks and ambiance as well. However, we had 5 people at our table and the salad had VERY small portions, maybe enough for 2 people. Kind of pricey but expected that before I came.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious foodLenfantDined on 5/9/2014Each dish was amazing. The salads were the best I've had, complex and savory. So was the lamb bolognese. Wish I could try everything. A happy find while visiting Virginia.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely find in Roanoke areawedineDined on 4/24/2014Local Roots is a great find in Roanoke. The culinary team blend delicious fresh ingredients to make incredible 5 star meals. Try the mussels ....Wow and the trout share, delicious!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chef's Tasting Extravaganza!LolaVIPDined on 4/16/2014We found this restaurant on Open Table while organizing a road trip to handle family business. We opted for the Chef's tasting and also added on the wine pairings. The bill ended up being expensive, but the food, service and atmosphere were worth it. The chef prepared a unique selection of dishes, introduced us to local produce and some ecclectic dishes (lamb liver with rye crackers and "saurkraut"). The regular menu was much more reasonable in price, but since we were only passing through, we went for the gusto! We will be back for another adventure here, and highly recommend the regular menu to people looking for a delicious weeknight meal.Special Features:
- Finally - more good food in RoanokeMWViennaVIPDined on 4/12/2014We stumbled across an add for this place and decided to try it out. We were very glad we did. Good food is hard to find in Roanoke - but we loved this place. We had the charcuterie, risotto, and lamb - all were creative and delicious. In addition both the service and ambiance were excellent. There was one exception - the bread pudding was a disappointment. It was more topping than bread pudding and both too rich and too salty. Hopefully they will revisit this recipe. The neighborhood is also quite charming and a place we had never been before. We will certainly go back th next time we are in Roanoke.Special Features:
- BEST restaurant in RoanokeDaveVIPDined on 3/25/2014I was passing through Roanoke for work and stopped here for dinner. It was such an amazing meal and a wonderful surprise. Everything we had was delicious, the staff were all very friendly. The chef was amazing, and the owner was the nicest woman ever!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!khabeebDined on 3/8/2014Our food was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole dinner out at Local Roots. The portions were a good size and everything was cook just right. The salad was just ok, but we both loved our main course. The decor is pretty sparse and a little shabby, but I guess that's part of the charm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but Priceylove2eatDined on 3/1/2014The food and drinks are very good and fresh although the drinks are priced on the high side. We were with friends. We shared mussels which were fabulous. We order burgers from the bar menu which are cooked to order and were delicious. Our friends had the bread pudding which has a local roots personal touch and was very tasty. My wife and I shared the chocolate (not sure what it was called), but it just was not making it. The hard chocolate was to large and could not be cut easily. We were not happy with our dessert. It was extremely pricy ($90) for a burger, a cocktail (1 ea.), a shared app & (1) dessert. We enjoy the food and the environment is pleasant, but cost does figure into our dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 2/23/2014Trout Bene! Even if you don't love Trout, they use a very thin slice (smoked?). kind of like Lox. Adds just the amount of saltiness. Veggie frittata pretty good as well. Flavor less robust of course! Blood orange mimosa thingy, yes. Get a window seat, great people watching in Grandin Village. Bring out of town guests, I did. Success.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Particularly found in the sport of snowboarding, Freeriding is the ability to look at a gnarly mountain and pick out your exact line of victory. Freeriding takes place in mountainous regions of gnar, pow and sketchy as hell. Falling in this treacherous terrain is a no, no.
Yo I'm about to go freeride up at that sketchy, no-fall zone we picked out yesterday.

When Marijuana smokers are smoking together they tend to pass the Marijuana Joints in a circle. To make it fair they usually take the same amount of Tokes, if they don't then they are Free Riding...just taking as much smoke as they can before they pass it on.

How To Reduce Eye Strain At Your Computer
Posted on
Take the Stress Out of Your Head
Do you spend a lot of time in front of the computer?
Ever rub your eyes and want to stop working?
You may be experiencing Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), the official diagnosis given to a range of symptoms that include:
- burning
- dry and strained eyes
- headache
- neck ache
- blurred vision
CVS, more commonly known as computer eyestrain, is due to over- or misuse of computer monitors, bad lighting and other environmental and ergonomic factors.
Stubborn, persistent, and regular physical discomfort due to one or more of these symptoms cuts your productivity sharply over time.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has found that 75% of computer users surveyed "reported occasional aching or burning eyes at work," while another "39% reported blurred vision."1
Take a Break – an Easy Solution
According to the Mayo Clinic, CVS reportedly poses few long-term problems, but is nevertheless uncomfortable enough to warrant changes in your work or study attitude and inspire some habits that relieve long periods of routine computer use:
- Take a few minutes away from your computer, better yet your desk each hour.
- If you can't leave your desk, lean back, close your eyes and relax.
- Segment auxiliary work tasks; use them to break up otherwise lengthy computer sessions.
- Quickly revive yourself with a few easy stretches.
The telecommuter with a laptop has the freedom to go outside, create an office out of thin-air, and work from home, in jeans and tee shirt, or pajamas. Even with all this apparent flexibility there should still be the compulsion to include breaks and alternate routines.
Light Your Workspace Properly
There are plenty of situations in which daylight is the best choice for task work. However, direct sunlight and bright indirect light do not make the best companions for computer work. General lighting rules of thumb apply for those who have to look at a computer monitor for hours each day:
- Overhead lighting and bright light emanating from behind your monitor are tough on the eyes. If you have the option, use table lamps off to either side of your work area. Your monitor throws its own light, so you really only need adequate indirect light around you.
- If you are close to a sunny window, close or adjust the blinds so light does not fall directly onto your monitor.
- Avoid working in a dark room. Your monitor will be like a bright beacon in the dark. Your eyes will have to struggle between the extremes of light and dark. If you must work in near dark conditions, try dimming the brightness of your monitor screen. It will allow you to work reasonably comfortably for maybe an hour or so, but at some point your eyes will certainly feel the strain.
- If you really mean to kick computer eye strain and want to properly light your home or office workspace, shop specifically for high-quality task lights that not only throw a measured degree and quality of light, but also reduce glare.
Get a Humidity Fix: Dry Air = Dry Eyes
There are, of course, other environmental factors that may contribute to symptoms of computer eyestrain. The architectural amalgam of manmade building materials in our home, dorm, and office environment creates an impervious cocoon. Office air is typically dry which can dry out your eyes. Combine this with the fact that "Computer use results in a decrease of blinking to almost one third of normal."2 Blinking is the eye's natural recipe for moisture.
- Natural plants in your workspace can increase humidity as well as control dust and other irritating particles.3
- Over the counter natural tear products are useful to relieve dry eyes, a main complaint among heavy computer users.
Get Physical Relief through Ergonomics and Hardware
Office environment may be within your power to change. Fluorescent lighting and white-hued cubicles characterize the typical corporate space. The desktop without a computer monitor is rare.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) develops regulations that govern the safety and comfort of the American worker. Your company must make a reasonable effort to provide you with an ergonomically safe workspace.
For example, wrist supports minimize the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and desk chairs with lumbar supports reduce back strain, particularly for those employees predisposed to either condition. For the growing population of workers demonstrating debilitating symptoms of computer eyestrain, both at home and in the office, there is a stable of helpful hardware and accessories:
Monitors Matter Most
Consumers have a range of monitor types from which to choose and in a wide price range. There are CRT monitors, flat-screen, wide screen, high definition, LCD and screens in matte and glossy finishes. Each delivers a distinctive visual experience.
OSHA's standards regarding workstation monitors include suggestions for position, angle, settings, and lighting.CRT Monitor Refresh Rates Explained
If you are among thousands of computer users still sharing a desktop with a large and lumbering cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor then you are subject to the flicker-effect.
Inherent in the function of a CRT is the refresh rate of the pixel images. The cathode ray in the monitor constantly scans the screen to "redraw" the image. The process is rapid, but still allows for minute breaks between images perceived as flickers by the human eye.
- The CRT refresh rate may be custom calibrated to reduce the flicker, and in turn reduce the typical eye strain and fatigue associated with a low refresh rate. The flexibility you have to custom calibrate refresh rates may also be dependent on the quality of your computer's video and graphics card as well as your monitor.
As a rule, the higher the refresh rate, the better for your vision, although some sources report no noticeable difference above a certain range. As a starting measurement you should consider a 60 Hz refresh rate at the low end of the comfort scale.Consider Your Purpose before Buying a Monitor
Most desktop computer systems come already bundled with a monitor, but generally components or peripherals are customizable. Before you settle for the "affordable" monitor, consider your intended uses for the system. A computer for at home email and bill paying purposes might be just fine with a bottom of the line, curved screen CRT monitor, but if your computer will receive heavy use whether work or enjoyment, you might check into at least one of the flat screen CRTs.
- Invest in a flat screen model. Flat screens of any kind provide a much more graphically sound image than those on the old curved screens. Flat screen CRTs offer better refresh rates and a richer palette of contrast and color adjustments.
Flat panel desktop monitors offer the best image for a range of prices.
Many offices are now outfitting their workstations with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) flat panels for a number of reasons such as being ergonomically and electronically sound. CRTs radiate electromagnetic waves and gobble electricity.
A horde of CRTs can very well interfere with other electronic equipment. LCDs, on the other hand, are much more portable, energy frugal, exponentially lighter than their dinosaurian brethren and suited for small spaces. And most importantly the resolution of a LCD monitor reduces computer eye strain.
- Invest in a laptop. If you are considering a laptop, the LCD monitors vary in size from a tiny 10" up to 19". Regardless of the width of the screen these monitors deliver high definition graphics, deep color contrast and a well-worth-it range of adjustable settings. Compare and contrast pixel specifications to determine which will most suit your needs.
Fine Tune Your Monitor
LCD monitors allow the user a range of adjustable settings: contrast, color, and brightness and their construct eliminate refresh settings, a characteristic bugaboo of cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors.
- Configure your computer's graphics settings for optimal visual comfort. Settings are completely subjective and in the case of laptops may even require frequent adjustments depending on available lighting and other variables dependent on the environment.
- Font sizes may be adjusted for your comfort, as well. If you find yourself leaning forward to read the text on the screen then you should increase the point size of your font. "Small fonts can actually cause rises in blood pressure and stress levels."4
Position Your Monitor for Optimal Viewing
Reduce your chances for eye strain by placing your monitor appropriately:
- Optometrists recommend a computer monitor be somewhere between 20 and 30 inches from your eyes.5 The length of your arm, from shoulder to finger tips, should be just about right for measuring the distance between yourself and the monitor. At this distance your head-on gaze should meet the monitor's top edge, which means you will view the screen at a slight downward angle. At this distance and angle, text should be clear and readable, and images sharp and identifiable.
Relieve Glare with Custom Filters for Your Monitor
In response to the 21 st century computer s
lave's demands, there are all manner of gadgets and accoutrements devised as companion to your workspace, whether that space is office, dorm-room, home, or on-the-fly location. Bright overhead light and bright sunlight are a nemesis for computer work for the glare each produces. Glare on a monitor screen can throw off your whole rhythm:
- Anti-glare monitor shields and filters may be optical glass quality, polarized, and designed for CRT, flat panel or laptop monitors. You may opt for an additional privacy feature and models with an anti-static coating that repel dust and other particulate matter. Polarized shields offer top of the line protection.
Adjust To Your Specific Work Requirements
Make adjustments in computer equipment and accessories relative to your field of work. The type of work you do may exert specific demands on your eyes:
- Data Entry Professionals and Administrative Assistants typically convert data from documents to electronic databases. Document holders minimize eye-strain by keeping hard-copy documents vertical and at the same distance from your eyes as the monitor. Eyes that must constantly readjust for distance and position will tire and become sore much sooner.6
- Computer Programmers work intensively with complex computer languages heavy on symbols and intricate visual configurations. Some sources suggest more code-concise and visually friendly fonts for programmers such as Courier, New Courier and a slew of other customized fonts; some free, and some with a price tag.
- Graphics/Web Designers should have a top of the line high definition monitor for intricate art and design work. Adjust your operating system to make it easy on the eyes. If you use Windows and have an LCD monitor enable ClearType.
Equipment and Behavior Modification Are Not Enough?
You've modified your work habits and adjusted your workspace and computer for optimum visual performance. However, CVS remains a nagging problem that continues to cut into your productivity. Could the problem be opthalmic?
- Get an eye exam. According to the American Optometric Association, adults up to age 40 should have an eye exam every three years; those aged 40 to 60, every two; and 60 plus, every year. However, if you are among the thousands of Americans with a medical condition, such as diabetes, that may pave the way for eye problems, or work in a "highly visually demanding" job, then you are advised to seek more frequent exams:
"Computer users should describe their work center to the optometrist so he or she can make suggestions for correcting trouble spots that could be contributing to computer vision syndrome."7
- Computer Viewing Glasses, maybe? Perhaps you've heard or read about the glasses you can get to wear while working with your computer. Plenty of online sources will purport to sell you computer viewing glasses, but there is no such thing as over-the-counter, 'one size fits all' computer glasses. Computer glasses must be designed for the individual, and prescribed by your eye doctor. Computer glasses are sometimes called multi-focals for their ability to split the field of vision. Designed much like a bi-focal, you look through the upper part of the lens at the monitor screen and through the bottom half of the lens for keyboard and desktop work. These products provide better resolution and optics, advantageous for long-term computer work, but are not to be confused with prescription eyeglasses.
Our Physical Limitations
Here we are a civilized people in the 21st century. Our technology still trips along under the influence of Moore's Law and yet we are strangely dragged backwards by our physical limitations, which hasn't changed all that much in the last few thousand-plus years.
For the uber-competitive, the business day no longer ends when the " five o'clock whistle" blows. Laptops travel. Commuters take work-to-go onto trains, buses, and planes, stretching the business day way beyond the office edges. Work spreads into coffee shops and cafes, and into wired outdoor urban greenspace. Whatever your situation; your burning, dry and strained eyes are a reminder to adapt accordingly or pay the consequences.

How to Properly Clean your LCD Screen
The standard definition of high definition is 1920x1080, or the more commonly resolution of 1920x1200. Finding a laptop with that kind of native resolution is almost impossible.
There is a reason why publishing companies overwhelmingly sitll use CRTs when color matters the most.
Nor does the resolution of a LCD help with eye strain any more than the resolution on a CRT. How can it if the resolutions were the same?
I'll stop with my list of errors here.
It's just a tiny program that reminds you ever hour to take a 5 minute break (reminders are customizable). No more sitting at the computer for 5 hours straight without knowing it! :)
"Flat screen monitors" different from "Flat Panel monitors", the later of which are commonly known as LCDs.
Flat Screen Monitors are still CRT technology, the shape of the surface of the monitor is flat, and the technology used is superior to the old curved ones that cost $50 for a 19" now. Higher refresh rates are typically available in these newer models of CRTs than older ones.
Refresh rates are not applicable in the same way with LCDs, instead "refresh rates" on LCDs are better referred to as response time, or the time it takes for the pixels on the LCD to update with the new information sent to it. So a typical "refresh rate" of 60mhz is applied to LCDs to make the outdated monitor driver components built into operating systems to be compatible.
Response times are spec'd on LCD monitors but no standard of measurement has been established and any response time claimed by a LCD manufacturer is subjective.
Therefore the best way to find out the performance of a LCD's response time is by reviews by end-users. If "Ghosting" is a problem, this means that response rate of the LCD is not very good.
I do agree with you on your points about color range and contrast is better with CRTs than LCDs. Eye strain however is less due to the clarity available with LCDs. Resolution is only as good as the sharpness of the pixels. CRTs especially older ones, tend to blur the definition of pixels.

Kobe Basketball Academy Returns To Santa Barbara
Updated On: Jul 10 2014 01:51:40 AM CDT
Before he addressed the five hundred campers, Kobe Bryant addressed the media on day one of his Kobe Basketball Academy at UC Santa Barbara.
There is plenty to talk about as the Lakers do not have a head coach and they are actively pursuing several free agents as the team is coming off its worst season in franchise history.
Bryant said he would love to play with free agent Carmelo Anthony and the Lakers have offered the superstar a maximum four-year deal. Melo is reportedly deciding between the Lakers or staying with the New York Knicks.
Bryant also said that he would welcome former Lakers player Byron Scott as the team's head coach.
After playing in just six games last season due to injuries, Bryant says he feels great physically.

Omaha firefighters responded to a fire at Scheels at Village Pointe around 2:30 Sunday morning.
Investigators say an electrical malfunction caused the fire on the second floor of the business. Nearby combustibles spread the flames, but sprinklers helped keep the fire contained to the fishing department. Smoke and water damage was found throughout the store.
No one was hurt.
Scheels was closed Sunday, but the store will reopen Monday morning at 9 a.m.

"...tells wonderful stories of trying to bring higher mathematics to the Goldman Sachs equity-derivatives trading desk." (Grant's Interest Rate Observer, Dec. 17, 2004)
Not many Wall Street veterans could write: "Visiting clients in Madrid, I dropped into the Thyssen museum, where I stumbled across several [Arthur] Dove paintings . . . in The Hague, too, after a Euronext options conference, I saw early Mondrian paintings of lilies that were influenced by [Rudolf] Steiner".
There are few "gentlemen bankers" left these days. Nor is there much room in the great financial houses for anything that smacks of the amateur spirit. That is why Emanuel Derman's memoirs are so compelling. As a physicist with a PhD from Columbia University, New York, he was not exactly a natural born trader when he joined Goldman Sachs in 1985. He had spent most of the preceding 20 years in education and research.
But Derman got in at the ground floor of financial engineering, or quantitative finance, and spent two decades exploring the almost infinite potential (and complexity) of derivative products and sophisticated risk management. Now back in academia, Derman has reflected on his experiences of the past 40 years.
He begins his story in 1966, when he arrived in New York city from South Africa as a bewildered, rather lonely 20 year old. Derman's first degree in physics was from Cape Town university, but he had come to Columbia determined to make his name. "I dreamed of being another Einstein," he confesses. "I wanted to spend my life focusing on the discovery of truths that would live forever."
It took several years for Derman to accept that this ambition would not be realised. Pure physics had room at the top for only a handful of people. He struggled for years in a series of insecure post-doctoral positions. "In much the same way, by a process [that] option theorists call time decay," he writes, "financial stock options lose their potential as they approach their own expiration."
Derman's wry humour and sense of irony are apparent throughout the book. "If you didn't mind wasting the best years of your youth," he says, "graduate student life at Columbia was paradise." These qualities, allied to his many and varied literary and cultural references, reveal him as a multi-layered personality. In spite of his later eminence on The Street in the 1980s and 1990s, this is no crude Big Swinging Dick.
And he is not lying about wasting his youth. In 1969, when so many young people of his generation were heading off to hang out at Woodstock, Derman admits: "I spent the summer of 1969 at a particle physics summer school at Brookhaven National Laboratories in Upton, Long Island."
Eventually Derman abandoned pure physics for the - to him - less noble pursuit of applied physics, spending five years at AT&T's Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. This chapter, entitled "In the Penal Colony" - a reference to a Kafka short story of the same name - is a tale of corporate woe. The business world, while better paid than academia, seemed to offer even less satisfaction and excitement.
Derman says he learnt almost nothing about business or finance at AT&T, but he did learn to program and generally master the new generation of computers that were beginning to appear in the early 1980s. When the headhunter's call finally took him to Goldman Sachs's financial strategies group in December 1985, it came as an immense relief.
Derman was charged with developing the famous Black-Scholes option pricing model so it could be applied to bonds, an urgent task in the more volatile markets of the post oil shock world. Fischer Black, one of the original model's authors, worked at Goldman and became a mentor and inspiration to Derman. Black, he writes, "was genuinely in love with the idea of equilibrium." Derman was eventually to become co-author of the Black-Derman-Toy model, which priced bond options.
In total, Derman spent 16 years at Goldman, with one unhappy year at Salomon Brothers sandwiched in between. The former academic was not immune to the usual Wall Street temptation of leveraging a better deal at another firm. Nine months after September 11 2001, Derman left Goldman to return to Columbia, where he now leads the programme in financial engineering.
Derman was one of the heroes of risk management in the 1990s, constantly pushing at the boundaries of what was possible, coming up with ever more sophisticated and ingenious structures. And yet a sober scepticism, learned the hard way all those years ago in university libraries, underpins his world view.
He is sardonic about his work: "The capacity to wreak destruction with your models provides the ultimate respectability," he says. "Many of the Long Term Capital Management protagonists are back in business."
Now teaching again full time, Derman has grown even more sceptical. "A decade of speaking with traders and theorists has made me wonder what 'correct' means," he writes. "The more I look at the conflict between markets and theories, the more that limitations of models in the financial and human world become apparent to me." (Financial Times, November 18, 2004)
Indecisive, introspective, awkward, and sometimes morose, memoirist Emanuel Derman comes across like a character in a Saul Bellow novel. He wallows in loneliness after leaving his home in South Africa to earn a PhD in theoretical physics at Columbia University. Later, he obsesses over leaving pure physics to do applied research at Bell Laboratories. Then he punishes himself with guilt when he abandons physics entirely to work on Wall Street. Although he succeeds as a math-savvy "quant" at Goldman, Sachs & Co. (GS), he continues to ponder whether markets can really be understood. "We are still on a darkling plain," he writes toward the end of his new book. "If you are a theorist you must never forget that you are traveling through lawless roads where the local inhabitants don't respect your principles."
That sense of being an intruder in outlaw territory lends an intriguing mood to Derman's My Life As a Quant, a literate and entertaining memoir of his two-stage career -- in physics and then financial engineering. Wall Street looks quite different from a nerd's-eye view: "Geeks were fair game," Derman reflects. Once, a chief trader who passed between him and a fellow quant "winced, clutched his head with both hands as though in excruciating pain, and exclaimed, 'Aaarrggh-hhh! The force field! It's too intense! Let me out of the way!"'
As one of Wall Street's leading quants, Derman did throw off some intense gamma radiation. He worked at Goldman from 1985 until 2003 except for one year at Salomon Brothers. At Goldman, he moved from fixed income to equity derivatives to risk management, becoming a managing director in 1997. He co-invented a tool for pricing options on Treasury bonds, working with Goldman colleagues Bill Toy and the late Fischer Black, who co-invented the Black-Scholes formula for valuing options on stocks. Derman received the industry's "Financial Engineer of the Year" award in 2000. Now he directs the financial-engineering program at Columbia University.
Derman failed at what he really wanted, which was to become an important physicist. He was merely very smart in a field dominated by geniuses, so he kicked around from one low-paying research job to another. "At age 16 or 17, I had wanted to be another Einstein," he writes. "By 1976...I had reached the point where I merely envied the postdoc in the office next door because he had been invited to give a seminar in France." His move to Wall Street -- an acknowledgment of failure -- brought him financial rewards beyond the dreams of academic physicists and a fair measure of satisfaction as well.
In the tradition of the idiosyncratic memoir, My Life As a Quant is a grab bag of the author's interests. It quotes Schopenhauer and Goethe while supplying not one but three diagrams of a muon neutrino colliding with a proton. There is a long section on the brilliant and punctilious Fischer Black; a glimpse of physicist Richard Feynman; and an embarrassing encounter with finance giant Robert Merton, who sat next to the author on a long flight (Derman treated him rudely before realizing who he was).
Derman's mood seems to vary from bemused on good days to sour on bad ones. The chapter on his postdoc travels is titled "A Sort of Life"; his brief career at Bell Labs, "In the Penal Colony"; his tenure at Salomon Brothers, "A Severed Head." Pre-IPO Goldman Sachs comes off as relatively gentle yet stimulating. He writes: "It was the only place I never secretly hoped would crash and burn."
At times, his awkwardness is so extreme that it's funny. Here's how he failed to work up his nerve to ask a Columbia professor to be his adviser: "Every time I saw him I smiled; every time I smiled he bared his lips back at me with greater awkwardness." It got so painful that he began to flee whenever he saw the prof coming.
The most challenging part of the book -- and for techies, probably the best -- is Derman's detailed explanation of trading tools he developed. The Black-Derman-Toy model, from 1986, allowed trading desks to come up with prices for Treasury bond options based on math rather than guesswork. In 1993 he and Goldman colleague Iraj Kani invented an options-pricing method that improved on an aspect of Black-Scholes -- its incorrect assumption that the volatility of options is unvarying. They deduced the "local" volatility of a conventional option at each possible stock price and at each moment up to expiration. That information could then be used to price exotic options more accurately.
As it turned out, both inventions had limitations in practice, but Derman accepts that. The theoretical purist finds a measure of contentment in contributing to the imprecise world of finance -- "intuiting, inventing, or concocting approximate laws and patterns." It ain't E=mc2, but as he recognizes, it may be the best anyone can hope for. By Peter Coy (Business Week, November 15, 2004)
"Sadly, there's not much to buy in the stock or bond market this holiday season, but John Wiley & Sons has published the perfect gift. "My Life as a Quant," by Emanuel Derman (292 pages, $29.95) is, indeed, a perfect memoir, as Derman, a South African-born physicist turned financial engineer, is a perfect memoirist."--Grant's Interest Rate Observer
And no Wall Street quant is better known than Emanuel Derman. One of the first high-energy particle physicists to migrate to Wall Street, he spent seventeen years in the business, eventually becoming managing director and head of the renowned Quantitative Strategies group at Goldman, Sachs & Co. There he coauthored some of todays most widely used and influential financial models.
Physics and quantitative finance look deceptively similar. But, writes Derman, "When you do physics youre playing against God; in finance, youre playing against Gods creatures." How can one justify using the precise methods of physics in the frenzied world of financial markets? Is it reasonable to treat the economy and its markets as a complex machine? Or is quantitative finance merely flawed thinking masquerading as science, a brave whistling in the dark?
My Life as a Quant is Dermans entertaining and candid account of his search for answers as he undergoes his transformation from ambitious young scientist to managing director. His book is simultaneously wide-ranging and personal. He tells the story of his passage between two worlds; he recounts his adventures with physicists, quants, options traders, and other highfliers on Wall Street; he analyzes the incompatible personas of traders and quants; and he meditates on the dissimilar natures of knowledge in physics and finance. Throughout his tale, he reflects on the appropriate way to apply the refined methods of physics to the hurly-burly world of markets.
My Life as a Quant is a unique first-person story and a perceptive and revealing exploration of the quantitative side of Wall Street.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, it was well written, informative, and fascinating.
If you're interested in finance, physics, academia, or you'd just like to read an autobiography the way it ought to be written, this book is for you.
To everyone, Derman is that physicist who made the transition from particle physics to doing something great at Goldman Sachs.
The book is a good autobiography of Derman's life and career progression. It is interesting to see how Wall Street back then was an intellectual and friendly place. Read morePublished 6 months ago by College Student
