Student employees performing necessary work toward a sponsored project may receive a Tuition Reduction Benefit (TRB). The "necessary work" requirement is outlined in OMB Circular A-21 and clarified in Memoranda 01-06.
Beginning with academic year 2013 – 2014, sponsored tuition for specific job categories for students (such as GRAs, TAs, AIs) will be processed on a Tuition Reduction Benefit document (SS3). The change is well described on the Graduate School's website.
This procedure improvement enables the university to better comply with the federal government's guidance on sponsored tuition, alleviating the tax burden for sponsored students.
The Tuition Reduction Benefit document (SS3) is originated by the department staff in FRMS. User Services has provided procedure guidance on askUS.
The Tuition Reduction Benefit (TRB) requires special handling for sponsored students without an employment relationship with the University (who may be employed by a third party such as a corporation, foundation, etc.). To be eligible for this special handling provision of TRB from a sponsored project, the student must perform duties necessary to the scope of work of the sponsored program funding tuition. Please follow the process below for these students:
Once the above information and the appropriate justification have been received, SPAA will work with Student Accounts Receivable to ensure tuition coverage remains as processed.
SPAA strives to help the departments at the earliest opportunity, so the department may choose to notify SPAA at Step 1, when the SS3 is created. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to prevent the notices from being sent on the 12th and 20th class day.
Students receiving scholarships/fellowships support from a training grant (or similar award with a 70-subaccount) for which the primary purpose of the award is to fund student learning, may continue to receive scholarships/fellowships via an SS1 document created in FRMS.
The SS3 cannot cover ISSS fees. A companion SS2 document would need to be processed to cover those fees. SS2 documents are currently still created in *DEFINE. When processing an SS2 on a sponsored project, the processor must mark the "Duties Required" question as "Y" for Yes. Tax will be applied.
To create an employment-related SS2 on sponsored funds to cover the ISSS fee:
To create an AR code that covers the ISSS fee:
For questions about this procedure, please contact the Office of Accounting Special Billing section at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) states in circular A-21, "However, tuition remission and other forms of compensation paid as, or in lieu of, wages to students performing necessary work are allowable provided that…the tuition or other payments are reasonable compensation for the work performed and are conditioned explicitly upon the performance of necessary work." This is the fourth of five stated conditions for allowability of tuition remission paid by a federal sponsor. This section of A-21, J.45, continues on stating that, "Charges for tuition remission and other forms of compensation paid to students as, or in lieu of, salaries and wages shall be subject to the reporting requirements stipulated in Section J.10." A-21 Section J.10 outlines the requirement for effort reporting by sponsored educational institutions.
Principal Investigators, when you certify effort for your students which was compensated with tuition remission in lieu of salary, or as salary, you are certifying that the student performed duties that are necessary to the sponsored project as a condition of earning their compensation.
Additional guidance and regulation is provided in the Clarification Memo that OMB issued in 2001, "Clarification: OMB in the Circular did not intend to tie the allowability of tuition remission costs to how they are treated for tax purposes."
For FY 2014-2015 the governing regulation will be the revised 2CFR 200.
Principal Investigators, the Handbook of Operating Procedures outlines policy for students (GRAs, TAs, AIs) at The University of Texas at Austin: http://www.policies.utexas.edu/policies/graduate-and-undergraduate-research-assistants
Tuition remission for graduate research assistants (GRAs) has been required on all grant proposals and contracts allowing tuition remission as a cost, since 2001 when the Vice President for Research and the Faculty Council issued the following policy document: http://www.utexas.edu/research/osp/documents/tuition_remit.pdf
Human Resource Services has a webpage on Student Employee Compensation: http://www.utexas.edu/hr/student/compensation.html
The Graduate School has published the following on their website: "Tuition Remission amounts charged to federal grant accounts are subject to regulations outlined in OMB Circular A-21. The charges are allowable only if the recipient is performing work toward the project being funded. Therefore, all tuition remission awards on federal grants are treated as wages."
SS3s and SS2s processed as requiring duties are included in the effort certification process conducted semi-annually. For more information on effort certification, please visit http://www.utexas.edu/research/osp/spaa/effort_reporting.html.
If you have any questions about this information please contact SPAA at firstname.lastname@example.com.

With Devin at full mast, it's time for Hans to do another set of squats, up and down on Devin's hard dick. Hans is ordered to bend over a nearby machine so Devin can really lay into his hot asshole. He fucks Hans hard and fast, causing Hans to cum while still being pounded. Devin jumps to his feet and explodes all over Hans face in an intense orgasm.

The glider pilot was practicing cross country maneuvers, but was forced to alter his destination due to weak lifting conditions encountered during the flight. According to the pilot, on his return leg to the departure airport he "started to get low" and began looking for an alternate landing site. While at 1,000 feet agl the pilot proceeded towards a farmer's field to initiate an off-field landing. The pilot stated that he may have initiated a brief turn at the last minute to search for another landing area, but could not recollect any additional events leading up to the accident. The glider impacted trees and subsequently came to rest on the ground about 100 yards south of a tree line.Post-accident examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the right wing and empennage section. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the glider that would have precluded normal operation.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

- Studio: New Line Cinema
- Release Date: Oct 6, 2006
- Starring: Jackie Earle Haley, Jennifer Connelly, Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson
- Summary: Based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, Little Children centers on a handful of individuals whose lives intersect on the playgrounds, town pools and streets of their small community in surprising and potentially dangerous ways. [New Line Cinema]
- Director: Todd Field
- Genre(s): Drama, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 28 out of 34
Mixed: 6 out of 34
Negative: 0 out of 34
Unnervingly good, Little Children is one of the rare American films about adultery that feels right--dangerous, hushed, immediate.
A jolting, artfully made drama set in and around a suburban playground somewhere between "American Beauty" and "In the Bedroom" on America's psychic highway.
While the screenplay for Little Chilldren is basically perfect, it's the acting that really drives the film home.
Little Children does not have quite the bleak discipline of Field's more keenly judged "In the Bedroom." Yet it is a more ambitious film and a considerable achievement.
What Little Children understands so well, and so poignantly, is a kind of parental existentialism that hits 30- somethings with kids: How does having children make you such a less interesting adult?
It's Winslet who is the heart and soul of Little Children, and when she makes a desperate, final bid to reclaim her soul, it's both horrifying and heart-rending.
It's an unholy mess, simultaneously too Gothic and too sarcastic, that preaches liberation and delivers only puritanism. It's a craftsmanlike but robotic imitation of "interesting" filmmaking, only in patches, and by accident, the real thing.
Score distribution:
Positive: 52 out of 65
Mixed: 4 out of 65
Negative: 9 out of 65

BillyS.Jan 26, 2007I love it when you go to a movie without any expectations just because it opens without any fanfare on one local screen and it turns out to be that little gem of a film that comes out of nowhere and leaves you wanting to yell to the people in line for Smokin' Aces - "Go see Little Children!! It's worth 10 bucks alot more than the dribble you're going to see!!" Little Children is brialliantly written, superbly acted,and gorgeously filmed and scored. The Oscar nominations it received are very deserving and makes you wonder if Dreamgirls was actually the most blatantly snubbed film this year. A intelligent story of disallusioned suburban life very reminiscent of American Beauty that deserves all the accolades it has recieved and much more. A top 10 film for 2006.… Expand
JulienJan 12, 2007Wonderful direction and screenplay. Little Children is a very intense movie, full of sincere human feelings that can help you to see the world differently.

"Little Children" is a very good mix between "American Beauty" and "Sex, lies, and videotape".… Expand
Dec 21, 2012The subplots are unbelievably generic, and not even done in an original way. Jackie Earle Haley's plotline is the most interesting, but as the movie progresses, it becomes sympathetic to the pedophile, and the movie's overall message seems to be about acceptance, even for someone like that. Apart from that, the acting is very overrated, even from Kate Winslet, who I usually love. Normally, I would just think this is an ordinary, annoyingly generic movie, worthy of maybe a three or a four. However, the idea of the pedophile being portrayed as a sympathetic character, and that those who deride him are considered villains, cause this movie to be an easy zero for me.… Expand

Is bamboo flooring really green?
By Dan Gould, Networx
Bamboo is becoming an increasingly popular building material. From flooring to counter tops, it's being used everywhere and touted as a green super material that helps save forests.
But does it live up to the hype?
Atlanta contractor and green building consultant Carl Seville says no. Although bamboo is a great green material -- it's a fast going grass that's much more sustainable than cutting down old growth trees, it's really just a superficial "band-aid" level solution in the big scheme of things. Seville points out that flooring is really just one tiny element of a green house. The more important things to consider when creating an efficient green home are things like air quality, energy efficacy and reduced impact on the community.
So if you have your eye on bamboo flooring or furniture, take a moment to think about changes you could make in your home that really matter first.

- Food, service, and atmosphere were outstandingGFBdayDined on 11/22/2014We went to japengo for restaurant week; it was our first time. We thought the food was excellent and the service outstanding. We will definitely return and try other items from their menu. The restaurant is quite nice and has many different areas for large and small groups and couples. Our service was excellent; thanks Arnold. And the food delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014They just scaled back the memu. Pushing pre fixe menus. Some dishes were great but others just missing key ingredients listed on menu.
- Restaurant WeekOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/21/2014Every dish we had was very tasty. Had the seafood menu. The scallops was our favorite as well as the oyster shooter.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed. The food was good, not great.MomilaniDined on 11/18/2014The waiter was very friendly. However, the lobster was mealy, the duck fair, the temperature was not hot at all but lukewarm, and the tiramisu was so so. Big let down.
- NobuDined on 11/17/2014Enjoyed the tasting menu and the bouillabaisse was very good although it took over an hour to be served after ordering. The server was courteous but not very attentive. Overall, we enjoyed the meals and would probably like to try other dishes on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent place for small, dinner groups.EnjoyDined on 11/16/2014Excellent food and service for up to 10 people in a dinner group. Multiple Tasting menu alternatives allow for easy and fast ordering for groups of people. Tasting menu included signature items with the right amount of each item.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A hidden gem!gtkyl72VIPDined on 11/16/2014We dined in a booth near the entrance, away from the main dining room ... it was quiet and peaceful ... my wife had the duck, which was served sliced upon a taro puree (not poi in any sense) ... it was divine. I partook of the four course Taste of Japengo, which began with a very large shrimp salad, a cup of what was called bouillabaisse but was closer to a bisque, a loco moco comprised of a smail filet over a mushroom rice, topped by a very large piece of foie gras and a quail egg ... one of the best dishes I've experienced anywhere ... finished off by coconut creme brulee; my wife was gifted with a tiramisu unlike anything we've had ... every dish was perfectly prepared and presented and delicious... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Donndm5414Dined on 11/7/2014Needed to see what Japengo was all about. Looking into the restaurant looked inviting. Arrived early and was seated early. There were a couple of large groups already seated. Service was more on the casual side than the restaurant looked. Portions are on the smaller side, but flavorful. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to friends. 4 star rating just reflects that the table we were seated was next to the wait staff station and by the end of our dining a couple of wine buckets showed up next to me.Special Features:
- A Night OutHappyDined on 11/7/2014We enjoyed our evening there, but the table we had was close to the bar and it was noise. We had a hard time talking to each other at our table. The food was good but not spectacular. One of the dishes was cold. The Cream Burlee was two bites. Service was helpful but could have checked on us more. Not sure we would go back, as there are so many great Restaurants in Honolulu
- Good expensive food, dark locationHoneymoonersDined on 10/20/2014The food was great and nicely presented. But the whole restaurant was quite dark, so you could hardly see, what you were eating. Compared to Switzerland the prices are almost the same, that means expensive. But if you want to have a romantic evening with nice food and you don't care about the price, I can recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Japengoswong007Dined on 10/16/2014Japengo was definitely worth the trip into Waikiki. We were greeted by seemingly friendly hostesses. Our waiter Tomo was excellent! Well knowledged and very honest about helping us get the best value from the menu as possible. The scallop and soft shell crab appetizers were amazing, as well as everything else up until the main course on the sampler menu. It could have just been my taste preference, but the flavor of the fish just didn't sit right with me. Not to mention it was overcooked. We ended up canceling our second entree (we ordered both from the sampler menu) because we were full. Would definitely go back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous Asian Fusion FoodsTats25Dined on 10/6/2014I came here once before and fell in love with the ocean cappuccino!! It can be found only on the set menu, but you can order it as a side dish!! The name of the dish is misleading, because you'd think there is coffee in it.... Wrong!! There's no coffee in it, instead it just looks like a large cup of cappuccino! Lots of chunks of seafood in there! Of course for dessert we had the coconut creme brûlée in the half shell!! So very yummy!! It was creamy and not over the top coconut. What saddened me was the waiter let us know that there was going to be a menu overhaul in 4 days. He wasn't sure what would stay and what would go. I defiantly asked for my 3 favorites to stay. I'm hoping the new menu will be good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 5 STARS!foodie4Dined on 10/5/2014You did it! Japengo manged to please 4 foodies! It was a double birthday celebration and they outdid themselves. Great cocktails, wonderful ambiance, just the right amount of food which was perfectly prepared, and terrific service! We will definitely be back. We live in Honolulu and normally hate to dine in Waikiki but we will make Japengo the exception. Great for both kamaainas and tourists!Special Features:
- Top notch!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014My wife and i went to Japengo on our anniversary. We went in expecting the food to be good, but we were surprised to find that the food was downright amazing! i had the chef's tasting menu (which will change soon) but was incredible nonetheless. my wife had their four course dinner which was delicious too. Overall the dining experience was pleasant and well thought out. The lighting and setup was great. Our server was really knowledgeable and moved quickly. She made no mistakes.Special Features:
- Distinct Asian cuisineCandlenutDined on 9/19/2014Seafood and beverage are very fresh and taste good. We had a very quiet dinner because no other guests were in the restaurant late at night. But I don't know how the ambiance will be when there are many people eating, drinking and chatting around you. The waiters and waitresses were very kind and often asked us whether the food is good and we were enjoying. The only disappointing thing is that the dessert cake was too sweet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Experiencedyuen34VIPDined on 9/13/2014I have to say that Chef Jon is by far the best chef Hawaii has to offer. He creativity and mastery of food is represented by his playful and original dishes. Chef John creates multiple layers of flavors enhanced by different and unique textures that is pleasing to to all of the senses. This is by far our favorite restaurant in Hawaii. If anyone has the opportunity to go to Japengo, I would strongly suggest going soon.Special Features:
- YummyDined on 9/11/2014We went for a birthday celebration! Nice cozy table in corner for the four of us. We had the scallops which just melted in our mouths, the honey macadamia nut prawns, awesome! My favorite was the Singapore chili crab. We got it spicy, it was to die for! Oh and the birthday cake-sticky datenut cake w marscapone cheese! Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice quiet dinnerjimbDined on 9/3/2014Good service with very good food. Even thought we had a set menu that came with the vacation package we purchased, they still presented the food very well and the service was very good. I will return to sample other entries from the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Last dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/6/2014We took my daughter's best friend (who's leaving the island)and her parents. We were a party of 6, first time for all of us and had a great time. Food was good and table was conducive to conversation. Prices and selection of food were good. I would definitely come again.Special Features:
- The following 183 reviews are from the Japengo - Waikiki reviews archive.
- Delicious food, awesome serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/28/2014Had dinner here after a day of fun in the sun on Waikiki beach. All four of us had the tasting menu. The food and service at this restaurant was wonderful! Our waiter was especially attentive and friendly. The rest of the staff was very good too. We felt welcomed and well taken care of. We would go back again.Special Features:
- BEST SUSHI IN WAIKIKI!!!JeanneVIPDined on 7/26/2014Japengo is a find....best sushi in Waikiki and the chefs are the nicest too....you won't be disappointed. Chef Johan is knowledgeable and a great chef as are Derek, Byron, Hill and Toru. And, ask for Arnold or Shirley if you opt to sit at a table - they are the best servers and many of the menu items are wonderful as well as the sushi.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RuggarooneyDined on 7/20/2014Really good steak, big and nicely pink in the middle. Could have been rarer but flavour and texture were great. Lobster good too. Wine was lovely and great service, far too much food really and then a complimentary pudding at the end!Special Features:
- Worst service ever!7372jdjsjskDined on 7/19/2014My spouse and I sat down for dinner and ordered appetizers and our entree at the same time. She ordered salmon and I had the steak. After waiting for 25 minutes our appetizer finally came. After 45 minutes my spouse's salmon dish made it to the table. After waiting for over an hour my steak dinner finally came to the table. A family of 4 sat down 10 minutes after us. They ordered, had eaten and left. As they were leaving my steak was placed in front of me. A family of 3 sat down on the table next to us and was not given any attention for over 20 minutes. The service was very POOR!! The manager kept saying to me, your steak will be out in 2 minutes every 10 minutes that went by. Japengo was not busy at all. That was the worst service ever!!Special Features:
- Not happy at allmogumogusanDined on 7/19/2014We try new or never been there kind place. But this is not good place to recommend.... Sorry, we don't like their food.... It was my first time I could not finish my dessert!!!! That bad.... The waitress was nice but she never asked how we like for our steak. So, we had red meat! And we thought that their fish was not fresh. Hamachi was not good... Soooo sad after dinner. (All of us tried their kamaaina course menu)
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014Food was excellent,......however,the hostess gave us the worst table in the resturanr....the hallway leadind to the pool and bar,could hear the ruckus from the pool area and waiter traffic to and from the bar. I got the feeling they don't get too much local customers,the first thing our waiter asked was where were we from?
- PinkPowerDined on 7/3/2014Happy Hour was great and my four year old asks to go back on a daily basis. It was very family friendly and food was enjoyable. I espcially enjoyed the Sake selection.Special Features:
- Delicious food; superb serviceBabydeerDined on 6/28/2014Food was delicious and service was friendly. The room's high ceilings and triple pane windows were lovely and brought in the light. The long cushion-covered benches along the walls were inviting and comfortable. Chef Matsubara's ability to pair local dishes with japanese cuisine is both comforting and exciting. Will definitely come again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet Sushi Date Nightgypsyfoodie411Dined on 6/9/2014The restaurant had been recommended by a friend so we thought we'd try it out. Well, we were not disappointed. Super fresh fish, delectable shrimp preparation and cocktails. It was quiet enough to have a conversation and close enough to the beach to take a stroll afterwards.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a pleasant experienceair2dxsDined on 6/6/2014Considering the class of the restaurant, the food and service was poor. In fact, we ordered three steaks Medium and all of them were over-cooked. We returned only one steak, however, because the food took so long to come out in the first place. Our waitress was very friendly but not very good at keeping our water glasses full and checking back periodically once we got our food. And the restaurant was not very busy. Some of the other reviews I saw rated the restaurant highly but that was not my experience... definitely would not go back.
- OverpricedfunfinediningDined on 6/5/2014Title says it all here. Wanted something light before the evening set in, food total for 1 app and 1 order of sushi was over $50. Ambiance was nice, service was good.
- DannymauiislanddreamDined on 6/3/2014One of the hottest restaurant hot spots in Waikiki! It's really a hidden secret in one of my old stomping grounds, across from "Canoes" Waikiki Beach Center in the Hyatt Regency Hotel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

|Former CEO of Engineered Support turns himself in; charged with fraud over options back-dating
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 20 July 2007 09:46
``I'm kind of still in shock,'' Shanahan told reporters after emerging from a white sport utility vehicle, according to STLtoday.com, the Web site for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ``We never intentionally did anything wrong.''
``This is new to me,'' he said. ``We're just going to stand and fight it as best as we can fight it.''
Shanahan Sr. is also the former owner of hockey team St. Louis Blues. He and his son, Michael Shanahan Jr., both face 12 counts of securities violations, fraud and conspiracy. Shanahan Jr. was a member of the board of directors at Engineered Support.
Also charged is Gary Gerhardt, former chief financial officer at Engineered Support, a suburban St. Louis-based company acquired by DRS Technologies Inc. in 2006.
Federal regulators accuse the men of backdating stock options between 1996 and 2002 in a scheme they claim enriched executives and board members by nearly $20 million.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Reap said the men were able to ``place their bets before the race'' by retroactively choosing option grant dates that coincided with low points in the company's stock. That allowed them to make greater profits when they exercised the options, according to the indictment.
Reap said Shanahan Sr. received about $7.8 million in illegal proceeds, his son got $80,000 and Gerhardt got $1.8 million.
Attorneys for Gerhardt, who first was charged in March, said auditors for the company knew of the stock trading practices and that it was not considered illegal.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil suit against the Shanahans last week. Attorneys for the Shanahans say they will use a defense similar to that of Gerhardt.

Getting old and getting cancer. These are two things a many people worry about and many scientists are trying to fight. Unique critters called naked mole rats could be the key to preventing both.
Doctor Rochelle Buffenstein, Professor at the University Of Texas Health Science Center, is studying the critters. She has about 2,500 of the animals at the facility. Based on their size, they should only live about six years, but they live to be 35 and are highly active until they're 25.
"Which would be equivalent to a human at the age of about 90 maintaining good health and good function," said Buffenstein.
Based on our size, Buffenstein says humans should only live to be 40.
"Humans and naked mole rats live between four and five times as long as they should," said Buffenstein.
Unlike the rodents, humans get cancer.
"We've never seen a single tumor in our colony," she said.
While most mice die from tumors, researchers painted the mole rats' skin with carcinogens, but no tumors developed. Buffenstein says we share 178 unique gene families with mole rats. The key is to find the pathways that make the rats age better and stay cancer-free. Then find a way to modify human genes to do the same.
The doctor says her goal isn't to help humans live hundreds of years.
"But we would like to live a healthy life for at least maybe 95 years rather than 60 years," she said.
Something she hopes will one day be the naked truth.
Doctor Buffenstein believes she is getting close to finding the pathways that could help her figure out why the mole rats age so well and do not develop cancer. But, translating the findings to help humans could take a lot longer.
BACKGROUND: Dr. Rochelle Buffenstein of the Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies is a native of Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) who was educated largely in South Africa. She trapped many of the naked mole rats she studies herself and then brought the whole colony along when she moved to the United States.
Naked mole rats are the source of great interest in an area of study called "comparative gerontology" or "comparative biology of aging." In short: Usually, you can make a reasonably accurate prediction of how long a mammal will live based on its size. The larger the mammal, the longer it lives. But there are outliers, and naked mole rats are a notable exception. They're about the same size as mice, which live up to 4 years. Naked mole rats live 30 years or more, and maintain surprisingly good health throughout.
(Source: University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio)
THE RESEARCH: Comparative biology of aging highlights those unusual species that are not only able to live considerably longer than expected on the basis of their body size but also maintain good health until very late in life. A key focus of the research undertaken in the Buffenstein lab addresses the cellular and molecular mechanisms that the longest-lived rodent, the naked mole-rat uses to thwart the aging process and maintain cancer-free good health well into their third decade of life. In particular, researchers currently are using a genomic and metabolomics approach to address the underlying mechanisms that facilitate the maintenance of protein stability and genomic integrity in rodents of disparate longevity. (Source: University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio)
1) Despite their names, naked mole rats are neither moles nor rats (nor are they totally hairless). They are more closely related to porcupines and guinea pigs.
2) Naked mole rats live in the horn of Africa and are native to Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya.
3) Soldier mole rats defend the colony from both predators-mostly snake-and foreign mole rats, which they identify as foreign by their odor.
4) The queen isn't born a queen. She's a female who has fought her way to the top.
5) A colony of naked mole rats can consist of 20 to 300 individuals. Their underground territory can be as large as six football fields.

Australians are world class water savers. Since the turn of the century, we have reduced our average water consumption by 20-30 percent. In Brisbane, residential water use has fallen by more than 40 percent in the past six years.
... more
In 2008 the ABC challenged the community to save water at home and in the office as part of the 40 Hour Drought.
The worst drought in 100 years had a strangle hold on many parts of the country. Water restrictions had been in place for five years and it was recognised that reducing water use would be an ongoing challenge for all Australians.
The 40 Hour Drought concept was the brainchild of four teenagers from rural and regional Australia who were a part of the ABC's Heywire project. The original challenge was to use only 40 litres of water in 40 hours. It was seen as a way to highlight water wastage and to develop of culture of water saving.
The second ABC 40 Hour Drought encouraged people to measure their water use, and then try to reduce it. Over 40 hours from 10pm Wednesday October 22 2008, until 2pm Friday October 24 2008, participants were asked to try to use as little water as possible at home as well as in the work place.
Our list of projects to save water in the office involved not just turning off leaking taps, but ways to encourage the whole work place to become water conscious.
At home you were asked to try to use just 40 litres of water per person per day. 40 litres was the amount of water some people in regional Australia, who rely on rain water tanks, can use. It is just slightly under the amount of water that Queenslanders were urged to use as the drought in the south east of the state reduced water in the dams to critical levels.
In 2007 participants saved 630,000 litres of water in just 40 hours.
You'll be surprised how hard it is to use just 40 litres of water, but how easy it is to begin activities which will reduce your water consumption forever. And that means better use of water resources, less need for water pumping, less use of electricity and lower carbon emissions.
Tips for reducing water use in the workplace.
Every day, there are many simple little things we can do around the house to save water, money and help the environment.
Quick tips to help save water in your backyard.
These water saving tips have been compiled from a variety of sources. Links to these sources can be found under our "Related links" area
Everywhere, people are turning around old ideas, giving them a new twist and coming up with ways to beat the drought blues.
Over 2,000 people across Australia eager to save water have risen to ABC Radio's challenge of using just 40 litres of water in 40 hours.
The 40 hour drought tested the ingenuity and water knowledge of LB in Victoria.
Union leader Bill Shorten wants to bust the myths about Australia's water crisis.
Victoria's Water Minister John Thwaites says water conservation is one of the keys to alleviating water shortages in Victoria.

text: Breitbart Texas Investigates: How 'Survey Programs' Can Dupe Voters Print article Send a Tip by Lee Stranahan 28 Feb 2014 post a comment With the primary for the U.S. Senate race just around the corner, tens of thousands of Texans began receiving ominous mailings in the past week from a Virginia-based group called Public Advocate for the United States. The mailers, sent by both email and traditional mail, attacked Sen. John Cornyn and promoted challenger Rep. Steve Stockman on issues of family. The mailers began: What is John Cornyn hiding? I'm shocked to report this, but Texas' incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn is refusing to answer his family values survey. Unlike Texas Congressman Steve Stockman, who returned his on time and answered 100% pro-Family. It is effective political copywriting, designed to hook voters looking for an alternative to Sen. Cornyn. Congressman Stockman has emerged as the leading contender to unseat Cornyn and the three page mailer provides good fodder for his campaign, raising doubts about the commitment to family values of any candidate who did not fill out the survey for Public Advocate. This is not a story about the respective political positions of Stockman, Cornyn, or any other U.S. Senate primary candidate. Beyond the specific political positions, however, the mailer is actually a glimpse into the modern techniques of political persuasion; a world that the vast majority of voters are only dimly aware of. The tactic is known to political insiders as a "survey program." The use of surveys from third party groups is not just a longstanding, successful modus operandi, but it is also something of a cottage industry; a way for obscure political groups with access to large mailing lists but almost no staff or overhead to raise large amounts of money for themselves and steer voters to specific candidates. While the basic idea of a survey program is perfectly legal and often legitimate, most citizens have no idea how the survey program technique works. Moreover, busy voters often have no idea who is really behind any given survey program that pops into their inboxes. In the specific case of the mailer that went out last week, the Public Advocate letter gave the appearance of coming from a disinterested, objective source. Texas voters had no way of knowing that Public Advocate's Eugene Delgaudio has a longstanding, close working relationship with top Stockman staffer Donny Ferguson. The letter had no disclosure that Ferguson worked for Delgaudio as a staffer in Virginia for five years nor did Texas voters have any way of knowing that Donny Ferguson knew all about the Survey Program game himself, since Ferguson had run survey programs in past elections in Virginia and Montana. In this two part special report; Breitbart Texas will explain how survey programs function in politics and then how the Public Advocate mailing to affect the Texas primary raises some troubling questions. How Survey Programs Work Just as smart consumers like to know what rip-offs to watch out for in the marketplace, an informed electorate should understand the promotional schemes that organizations and politicians use to get themselves elected. The concept behind a survey program is simple: a group creates a short survey on an issue they care about, sends it out to candidates and then reports the results. Voters read the reports, make up their own minds and cast their ballots. Established, well-known political groups on the left and right do survey programs all the time. It is common to see press releases where groups rate candidates based on responses to survey questionnaires. Survey programs are commonplace and at first glance, seeming perfectly fair. The popularity of legitimate, ethical survey programs has ironically created an atmosphere where people and groups trying to game the survey system have been able to flourish. After all, all the survey program does is ask candidates to answer a few simple questions and then they promote the results. As it turns out, there are a number of methods that allow the unscrupulous to fool voters using a survey program. One strategy is to create a group that gives the appearance of being an independent issue advocacy organization, but it is actually a front entity for a candidate. Political insiders often refer to these groups as "paper tigers." Assume a candidate wants to appear to have the endorsement of a pro-gun rights group but cannot get a well-known established organization like the National Rifle Association to promote the specific candidate. No problem; just create a separate group or utilize an already existing paper tiger group. Paper tiger groups can just give candidates an outright endorsement—or, for the sake of subtlety and the appearance of objectivity, create a survey and send it out to candidates. To avoid getting caught, groups cannot just send it out only to one candidate, although that has been known to happen. Therefore, they send the survey out to all candidates but even then it's still possible to game the system. Candidates receive dozens of surveys and generally do not fill them all out. One veteran campaign manager told Breitbart Texas their policy is to respond to all surveys, but that many political newcomers do not do this. A paper tiger group that actually wants to stealth-support a specific candidate knows their candidate will answer the survey and hope other candidates do not respond. A non-response allows the group to say "What are they hiding?" and assign convenient motives to a rival candidate. A candidate's positions on issues can often be determined by their own statements, actions and votes. If Senator Ted Cruz does not fill out an obscure group's Obamacare survey, that does not mean his position on Obamacare is a mystery or that he is hiding something. One way of getting candidates to not want to fill out surveys is to pepper the them with a couple of "gotcha questions," that makes the other campaigns suspect there is something strange at play and are therefore less inclined to fill out the survey. Once the group has sent the survey out and receive either responses or silence, they drop their announcement of the survey results. If the group does not have resources like a large mailing list, then the survey will amount to little. However, some of the obscure groups may look small on paper but actually have massive resources behind them in terms of money and mailing lists. That is when a candidate who did not fill out the survey feels the wrath and gets accusing of "hiding" or worse. Since these mailings are timed to happen right before an election, there is usually little time for the voters or the media to properly vet survey letters. This, of course, is the intended effect. In Part II, Breitbart Texas will address the Public Advocate mailing in the U.S. Senate Race in Texas specifically. The image above is reflective of Public Advocate for the United States' past survey operations in other states. Follow Lee Stranahan on Twitter @Stranahan

I wanted to add social media too (like the last reviewer) but I hadn't used joomla for a while. I couldn't get it to work and contacted the extension owner. He replied reminding me that the editor can change code. Once he reminded me I changed the editor entered it again and it worked. The issue was nothing to do with the extension yet he helped me anyway. It's a great extension and I'd recommnend it.
bykaz101, June 2, 2011
Then I found this extension. It simply does what it says it does.
I had problems with the links and ACESEF but I simply had to delete the ACESEF URLs and let them be created again.
I also needed to change the layout for the menu option but that was nothing to do with this extension either.
If you're looking for an RSS feed into your website give this one a shot first and don't waste your time (like I did) trying the others first.

Firstly follow the instructions. It's very easy to set up if you follow them and only takes a few minutes. I missed a bit and it didn't work. The developer was great and pointed me to instructions that I'd missed through their support forum.
Secondly I found that I couldn't get it to work with one of my artisteer templates and once again the developer came to my rescue and let me know how to modify my template.
Fantastic support and the module is free.

At first I couldn't get the descriptions to show but the answer was in the support forum (use display rather than show for the description tag).
The css layout didn't match my template but was pretty easy to amend through a little trial and error in the css sheet.
Still the best weblinks extension I've found - and I've tried all the non-commercial ones now.
