David Lee/Ernst Weber Professor
Director, NYU WIRELESS
Prof. of Electrical and Computer Eng
Prof. of Computer Science
Prof. of Radiology
Theodore (Ted) S. Rappaport is the David Lee/Ernst Weber Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) and is a professor of computer science at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He is also a professor of radiology at the New York University School of Medicine.
Rappaport is the founder and director of NYU WIRELESS, one of the world's first academic research centers to combine wireless engineering, computer science, and medicine. Earlier in his career, he founded two of the world's largest academic wireless research centers: the Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG) at the University of Texas at Austin in 2002, and the Mobile and Portable Radio Research Group (MPRG), now known as Wireless@Virginia Tech, in 1990. He has founded two companies, both sold to publicly traded firms, that have pioneered some of the technologies now used in the wireless industry.
Rappaport is a pioneer in the fields of radio wave propagation for cellular and personal communications, wireless communication system simulation, analysis and design, and broadband wireless communications circuits and systems at millimeter wave frequencies. His research has influenced many international wireless standard bodies over three decades, and he and his students have invented measurement equipment, simulation methodologies, and analytical approaches for the exploration and modeling of radio propagation channels and communication system design in a vast range of spectrum bands for emerging wireless systems. He also invented the technology of site-specific radio frequency (RF) channel modeling and design for wireless network deployment--a technology now used routinely throughout the wireless industry. More recently, his work has explored the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands for future broadband access.
Rappaport has served on the Technological Advisory Council of the Federal Communications Commission, assisted the governor and CIO of Virginia in formulating rural broadband initiatives for Internet access, and conducted research for NSF, Department of Defense, and dozens of global telecommunications companies throughout his career. He is one of the most highly cited authors in the wireless communications field. As a faculty member, Rappaport has advised approximately 100 students who continue to accomplish great things in the communications, electromagnetics, and circuit design fields throughout industry, academia, and government.
In 2006, Rappaport was elected to the Board of Governors of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), and to the Board of Governors of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) in 2008 and again in 2011. He is a fellow of the IEEE, is a member of the board of the Marconi Society, and serves on the editorial boards of several academic and technical journals. He received the Marconi Young Scientist Award in 1990, an NSF Presidential Faculty Fellowship in 1992, the Sarnoff Citation from the Radio Club of America in 2000, the Fredrick E. Terman Outstanding Electrical Engineering Faculty Award from the American Society for Engineering Education in 2002, and the Stuart F. Meyer Award from the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society in 2005. In 2008, he received the Industry Leadership Award from the Austin Wireless Alliance and the IEEE Communications Society WTC Recognition Award for outstanding achievements and contributions in the area of wireless communications systems and networks. The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) honored Rappaport with the Sir Monty Finniston medal in 2011 "for his outstanding academic and industrial contributions over almost three decades in the field of wireless communication." In 2012, he received the William E. Sayle Award for Achievement in Education from the IEEE Education Society, and was named a Distinguished Engineering Alumnus from Purdue University in 2013.
Rappaport has over 100 U.S. or international patents issued or pending and has authored, co-authored, and co-edited over 200 papers and 20 books in the wireless field, including Wireless Communications: Principles & Practice (translated into seven languages), Principles of Communication Systems Simulation with Wireless Applications, and Smart Antennas for Wireless Communications: IS-95 and Third Generation CDMA Applications. He has received three prize paper awards, including the 1999 Stephen O. Rice Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Communications Society for his work on site-specific propagation.
Rappaport has also been an entrepreneur, encouraging his students to create companies from their research. In 1989, he founded TSR Technologies, Inc., a cellular radio/PCS software radio manufacturer that he sold in 1993 to what is now CommScope, Inc. (taken private in 2011 by Carlyle Group). In 1995, he founded Wireless Valley Communications, Inc., a pioneering creator of site-specific radio propagation software for wireless network design and management that he sold in 2005 to Motorola (NYSE: MOT).
Rappaport has testified before the U.S. Congress, served as an international consultant for the International Telecommunication Union, consulted for more than 30 major telecommunications firms, and continues to work on many national committees pertaining to communications research and technology policy. He is a highly sought-after consultant and technical expert. He received BS, MS, and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from Purdue University in 1982, 1984, and 1987, respectively, and is a Distinguished Engineering Alumnus of his alma mater.

Gallery: Guy creates epic 'Battle of Hoth' diorama in living room
Of all the battles in Star Wars, fans seem to especially love recreating the Battle of Hoth, whether it be with Lego or by transforming New York City snow storms.
Star Wars fan "Zipidih Doodah" did what any geek with a 140-square foot living room would do: he recreated Hoth in diorama form, complete with battle-scarred AT-ATs, Snowspeeders and walls painted to look like the icy planet.
For the realistic-looking explosions, Zipidih Doodah put together some special effects using chicken wire, polyester stuffing (the kind you find in pillows), spray paint and a 13-watt LED light placed underneath to make it glow. You can see how he did it in this this video.
All the superlatives in the world can't do this Hoth diorama justice, so we're just gonna zip it and let you flip through all of the incredible photos in the gallery. There's also two bonus videos showing Hoth before and after it was finished.

University of Washington SoN Fall 2013 - page 33
Anyone applying to the UW SoN for fall 2013? Anyone else FREAKING OUT about it like I am?... Read More
1Mar 22, '13 by JLoya, BSNWOW, they got that to you quickly...
Congrats to those who got in. Sorry for those who did not get in... Don't give up, keep at it.
See some of you in the Fall....
0Mar 22, '13 by Ladybug031302Quote from SaraFutureNurse?Great attitude!!!! So sorry you didn't get into UW but your confidence in finding your path elsewhere is admirable!!!! Good luck!Thank you so much Jessica. I know that I will be a nurse, just gotta keep at it!
One rejection is not going to keep me down!
0Mar 22, '13 by Ladybug031302I got in as well! Still shocked.
1Mar 22, '13 by ericseitzI just got in as well! Woot!!
1Mar 22, '13 by YoungIdealistHello everyone,
I got my acceptance letter today! It is nice to see some familiar faces around here (JLoya, abalone). I was an applicant last year and didn't make it.
To those who got in, congrats, can't wait to meet you all.
To those who didn't, I admire how upbeat and positive you have remained. When I didn't get in I was devastated, and I was so scared this year that I decided not to post just so I wouldn't get excited and then let down. I definitely stalked this thread anyway.
In this past year since I was rejected, I have not gained much more experience. Honestly I feel like the same person, with a few more hours in the same clinic and I took the CNA test so I could get my license (when I applied last year I had taken the class but didn't have the license yet). From the few tips I read in this thread (by JLoya and abalone) I realized my mistakes and I felt like my application this year was so strong. I aced the essay, I walked out of there 5 minutes early feeling like a million bucks. Last year I cried. My resume was pretty much the same this year.
If any of you want any tips or ideas, even though next year's application is far away, I would be happy to give advice from my own experience.
Keep your chin up and keep trying. It took me months to overcome getting rejected, I hid the rejection letter and never looked at it again, but now I'm elated and I'm glad I didn't apply anywhere else. I was a husky before so I didn't feel like I could wear any other color (just kidding, my second choice was Everett CC and I would've been totally fine there and I encourage you all to look at other excellent programs in the area).
0Mar 22, '13 by hudabelleWell poop. I am surprisingly not as upset as I thought I would be, numb maybe? I guess I knew it was a long shot. I will reapply next year even though I'm 100% positive I will be accepted to an ADN program. If I get in next year I will have no problem transferring and starting the BSN program from day one.
I'm so happy for all those that got in! Good luck and I'm sure y'all will look awesome in purple :smile:
0Mar 22, '13 by Just_keep_swimmingI would love some feedback to help for next year, I'm completely devastated and already threw the letter away, but I'm trying to stay positive bc that's gonna keep me going vs throwing myself a pity party (as I eat pepperoni pizza) , I'm thinking I blew my essay & wasn't sure if only having a 128 hours was enough for their taste, so was planning on getting at least my CNA license & volunteer in the clinic I have been doing, as well as trying at Madigan army hospital if they'll let to get different perspective & experiences & try to prepare better fort essay as well as take notes on what I did wrong on it lol. Sigh it's so discouraging but if I don't try I'll just regret it :/
Hudabelle, I'm so sorry, but I'm glad you have a fantastic back up plan! I hope all of those not getting in this year do apply next year, we can all get together & prepare & stress the heck out all over again
3Mar 22, '13 by YoungIdealistQuote from Jessica SSome things I did differently:I would love some feedback to help for next year....
Last year: I wrote my resume like a formal resume, where I explained my duties in different things (ex. As a community health worker, I give people education on healthy eating)
This year: I wrote my resume entirely about how my experience helped me know I want to be a nurse (ex. As a community health worker, I have a chance to observe the nurse in home visits and the way she educates patients. For example, she brings material and reads it with the patient. OR As a community health worker, I can see the nurse interact with the providers and how they share information about the patient from different perspectives)
Last year: I wrote it like a standard essay and attempted to answer all the parts of the questions. I thought my essay was "good enough" at answering the questions.
This year: I broke down each part and clearly LABELED THEM "A,B,C" and answered them separately! I tried to make the essay flow a bit, but I wasn't so concerned about that. I was 100% focused on each question and answering them thoroughly.
Last year: I was unprepared, didn't know what to expect and I stressed about how I would write and if it'd be good enough writing. I stressed too much over the math. Something big: I didn't label each part of the question. I also chose a scenario I was comfortable with -- mistake! I ran out of stuff to talk about really quickly! Finally, I spent too much time brainstorming and too little writing my final draft!
This year: I realized that the essay has NOTHING TO DO with the scenarios! They're about YOU as an applicant! So this year to prepare, I made a list of 2-3 weaknesses and 2-3 strengths (with examples!) and practiced writing about how they'll affect me in nursing. It made it so easy to answer the questions, challenges = weaknesses +examples, why you would choose something = your strengths + examples. Bam! You're done!
I also labeled each part with a small letter on the left side (the instructions don't say not to). I was very calm because I spent pretty much ALL my time writing the final draft and I was done early even after triple checking everything. Since I had already done a rough draft in my head (I memorized the weaknesses and strengths + good examples) I felt like all I had to do was list them on the paper and then start my essay. I kept it simple. This time I picked a scenario I didn't know much about but that would help me as an ER nurse which is my dream.
BONUS: I had my CNA license # on the resume, they like those things I think
Hope all of this helps! Like I said before, I'm the same applicant as before! I just realized that they really want to know how everything you have done and think relates to nursing, nothing else! You could volunteer as an interpreter, but they don't care about what you did! They care about what you SAW IN NURSING and how you realized you love the profession. Ex. "As an interpreter I was able to see the interaction between the nurse and the patient when she gives education. I noticed that... It inspired me to become a public health nurse because... I could observe the importance of listening to the patient, etc etc"
Hope all of that helps Good luck to all...
P.S. I just want to add this is what worked for me, but I'm sure everyone had something special that got them into the school! Hope they share their insight as well.Last edit by YoungIdealist on Mar 22, '13
0Mar 22, '13 by jennyqleHello all, I have been reading these posts, but I have never written anything. I just wanted to vent a little, and maybe someone would understand. I have been denied from the UW BSN program for the second time and I am a little frustrated with it this time considering two of my friends were accepted, and I feel like my application was just as good as theirs. I have been a NAC for over a year now and have logged over 1000 hours. I have also volunteered at Providence, shadowed a nurse at Providence, and I went on a medical trip to Vietnam last year to provide free health clinics in the rural areas. Before getting involved with nursing experience I was a lifeguard for 3 years and taught swimming lessons. However, my GPA isn't awesome, it's a 3.4. A lot of people say I haven't been getting in because of my age, I'm only 20, but I know for a fact 20 year olds have gotten in. I also feel like I addressed most of the things "YoungIdealist" stated above because in my resume I acknowledged my interactions with nurses, and what I observed them doing. I'm just so confused and disappointed!

Writing about taxi's in the Philippines is not an easy task. There are different taxi's all with their own specialties.
When someone arrives at Manila International Airport there are the completely yellow painted taxi's. These are the official airport taxi's, they can bring you to any point in Manila and surroundings. Officially they are not allowed to pick up passengers in the city to go somewhere else. But some drivers do that just the same (if the authorities or other taxi's are not seeing it). Because they are only allowed to get passengers at the airport they are more expensive than the ordinary taxi's.
Thousands of ordinary taxi's can be seen all over Manila and surroundings. They are easily flagged down and will bring you (most of the time) to any place in Luzon. A passenger always have to ask first, before getting into the car a few questions: 1st: If the driver likes to bring you to your destination and 2nd: if he will run the official taxi meter. Do not accept nor get in a taxi who will say NO to one of those two questions, or asks extra money to do so. Once you are in a taxi, see to it that the meter is sealed and activated. If you have doubts about that get out or just ask to have it demonstrated to you. In such cases it is wise to note down the license plate number, which is also written inside the car, and other marks if possible. NOTE: this is for your own protection if something goes wrong. Never, I repeat: NEVER negotiate about a fixed price, because you will always pay more than the meter price. Especially to foreigners many taxi drivers try to do that.
Taxi's are obligated to use a sealed and checked taximeter. If a driver says that it's broken or not working just get out or say that you do not believe him. It might cost him a fine of 1000 pesos if the meter is not properly working or properly sealed.
There are also larger cars running with taxi signs on it. The so called FX taxi's. They only drive between two places in the city and are mostly used by Philippines as a kind of more comfortable Jeepney, they have air conditioner etc. They are used to go to work in a comfortable way. These cars can be flagged down, but will not always bring you to your desired destination. They have signs at the front window, just like Jeepneys about their route.
Basically there are two kinds of taxi drivers in the Philippines. The ones who are employed by a taxi company and hire their cars from them, or the ones who owns their car.
Both like to make a decent living and work long hours for that. 10 to twelve hours a day is normal. And often they work 7 days a week. There are also drivers who share a car with another driver and continue working 24 hours. One day on, one day off.
Drivers who do not own their own car often are the worst drivers. They are often irresponsible and rough drivers. They are also the ones who (almost) never have change (even if they do), just to get more tip.
Tips, by the way, are given according to the way a driver has done his job. Most people tip around 10%, but if the driver is very friendly, helpful and a good driver, they are tipped a little more. But always try to pay the exact amount. Tips are NOT obligatory anymore, but are expected by the drivers, they might even tell you that you have to give a tip. If you are not satisfied: Do not give, and tell them why, maybe they learn from it !!
Smoking is NOT allowed in taxi's. If you see a driver smoking: say so, or if you are allergic to smoke do not even get in when you smell the smoke !
Have the driver close the windows and put the air conditioner on. If it is too cold (most of the times) ask him to do something about it.
NOTE: Always, repeat: ALWAYS lock your doors. Street robbers or snatchers might open the door and steal everything from you or even worse ….. Also for that reason: have windows closed all the time. And at traffic signs or in a traffic jam: do not give to beggars, they might be snatchers just the same.
Although I drive my own car, sometimes I have to use a taxi (on color coding days, and special occasions when I do not like to drive).
My best experiences are with taxi drivers who owns their car. They are responsible, calm drivers, do not take risks in the street and have very clean cars. They still might try to have a fixed price, but will always take you if you say NO.
Recently I spotted a taxi who's owner was proud to have his own car. Let the picture speak for it self.

I just got off the phone with Ahmed from Zenprise. Their clients are reporting some fairly widespread outages on RIM's network across Europe.
If you are in Europe, let us know what your BlackBerry service has been like today.
U2 is kicking off its relationship with RIM with The U2 360° Tour, sponsored by BlackBerry. The Tour is the band's first stadium outing since the Vertigo Tour 05/06 and follows the release of their acclaimed album, No Line On The Horizon. U2 will be touring 14 cities across Europe including dates in Milan, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Dublin, Chorzow, Berlin, Gelsenkirchen, London, Sheffield and Glasgow before finishing at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on 22nd August. The European tour will be followed by dates in North America beginning at Chicago's Soldier Field on September 12th, 2009.
"This tour announcement marks the first stage of a relationship and shared vision between RIM and U2 that we expect will lead to new and innovative ways to enhance the mobile music experience on the BlackBerry platform for U2 fans. We look forward to sharing more details as the relationship unfolds," said Paul McGuinness, the band's manager.
Everyone remembers the long relationship U2 and Bono had with Apple and it seems to be the end of an era. There are rumors that U2 and UMG weren't elated about the relationship with Apple. UMG's chief Doug Morris late in 2007 claimed his company had been ensnared by the "golden handcuffs" of Apple's music portal. The executive explained that Universal became dependent on iTunes after insisting on copy protection and then allowing Apple to use its own proprietary format.
Partnering with U2 is a great move on the part of RIM. Not only will it help solidify BlackBerry as a company that is in touch with a wide demographic, but Bono's charitable causes make him a formidable representative of the company. We should expect to see some interesting developments come of this, including initiatives along the same vein as Product Red.

Nicholas Saunderson
|Nicholas Saunderson
|January 1682
Thurlstone, Yorkshire, England
|19 April 1739
(aged 57)
Cambridge, England
|United Kingdom
Nicholas Saunderson FRS (1682 – 19 April 1739) was an English scientist and mathematician. According to one leading historian of statistics, he may have been the earliest discoverer of Bayes theorem.[1]
Saunderson was born at Thurlstone, Yorkshire, in January 1682. When about a year old he lost his sight through smallpox; but this did not prevent him from acquiring a knowledge of Latin and Greek, and studying mathematics. As a child, he is also thought to have learnt to read by tracing the engravings on tombstones around St John the Baptist Church in Penistone with his fingers. His early education was at Penistone Grammar School.
In 1707, he arrived in Cambridge, staying with his friend Joshua Dunn, a fellow-commoner at Christ's College. During this time, he resided in Christ's but was not admitted to the University.[2] With the permission of the Lucasian professor, William Whiston, Saunderson was allowed to teach, lecturing on mathematics, astronomy and optics.
Whiston was expelled from his chair on 30 October 1710; at the appeal of the heads of colleges, Queen Anne awarded Saunderson a Master of Arts degree on 19 November 1711 so that he would be eligible to succeed Whiston as Lucasian professor. He was chosen as the fourth Lucasian professor the next day, defeating the Trinity College candidate Christopher Hussey, backed by Richard Bentley, when the electors split 6 to 4 in his favour.[3]
On 6 November 1718 Saunderson was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He was resident at Christ's until 1723 when he married and took a house in Cambridge. He was created doctor of laws in 1728 by command of George II. He died of scurvy, on 19 April 1739 and was buried in the chancel of the parish church at Boxworth near Cambridge.
Saunderson possessed the friendship of leading mathematicians of the time: Isaac Newton, Edmond Halley, Abraham De Moivre and Roger Cotes. His senses of hearing and touch were acute, and he could carry out mentally long and intricate mathematical calculations. He devised a calculating machine or abacus, by which he could perform arithmetical and algebraic operations by the sense of touch; it was known as his "palpable arithmetic", and was described in his Elements of Algebra.
Of his other writings, prepared for the use of his pupils, the only one which has been published is The Method of Fluxions. At the end of this treatise there is given, in Latin, an explanation of the principal propositions of Sir Isaac Newton's philosophy.
Part of Saunderson's role as the Lucasian professor was to disseminate the Principia Mathematica so that it was accessible to undergraduates and college tutors. Ultimately through his teaching during his term in office, he reformed the decaying, traditional curriculum of Cambridge to emphasis mathematics and Newtonian natural philosophy, defending it from opponents.[4] He provided the first systematic introduction to Differential calculus, detailed in his posthumus work "The Method of Fluxions Applied to a Select Number of Useful Problems."[5]
Saunderson did not follow the common practice of publishing his work, however manuscripts of his lectures and treatises were in circulation and were used by a number of notable individuals including the astronomers James Bradley at Oxford University and Samuel Vince at Cambridge University.[6] After he died, his work "The Elements of Algebra, in Ten Books" was published in his name.[7]
St Johns Gardens at St Johns Church in Penistone features a memorial spiral to Saunderson. The gardens are a joint project between St John the Baptist Church, Penistone and Penistone & District Community Partnership.[8]
Saunderson's life was turned into a musical, No Horizon, written by Andy Platt, a schoolteacher from near Thurlstone where Saunderson was born.[9] In addition to this the Science Block of Penistone Grammar School and a local residential street are named after the local 'celebrity'.[citation needed]
He was born in a house on Towngate which bore a "Hic Natus Est" inscribed stone. The house is long gone (1950s) but the stone is built into a wall in a small garden at Townend nearby.[citation needed]

Citigroup Finds a Hitch in the Shale Trade
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Few expected that a shale drilling boom could push natural gas prices to near decade lows at $2 per million BTU's. But even fewer anticipated its quick 50%-plus rise from 2012 lows and investors now need to prepare for an impact on industrials and agricultural stocks, according to a Monday note from Citigroup.
Rising natural gas prices above $3.25 on the heels of a near 20% jump in the commodity's prices in September may provide a dent to the fourth quarter earnings of agricultural and industrials giants like CF Industries (CF), Eastman Chemical (EMN), Dow Chemicals (DOW), LyondellBasell (LYB) and Agrium (AGU), according to Citigroup.
The sudden surge in commodity prices may signal and end to decade low natural gas prices hit in early 2012 on a glut of supply from the explosion of shale drilling -- cutting at the margins of producers who use gas as a key input - and denting fourth quarter earnings by between roughly 5% and 10%, Citigroup calculates.
Current natural prices at $3.35 are roughly 25% above Citigroup's year-end forecast for the commodity and in-line with 2013 estimates, causing analyst P.J. Juvekar to reduce fourth quarter earnings estimates and forecast that the tailwind on operating margins may be closer to an end than some expect."A sustained increase in natural gas prices could be a risk to earnings in 4Q, and possibly beyond," writes Juvekar, in a Monday note to clients. "The companies most impacted in our universe are nitrogen fertilizer and commodity chemical companies, in particular CF, EMN, DOW, and LYB," he adds, in a note cutting the fourth quarter EPS estimates of nitrogen producers like CF Industries and Agrium by 11% and by 5% on ethylene producers like Dow Chemical and LyondellBasell. In spite of the recent commodity price rise, many notable industrials investors continue to preach the positive earnings impact of low gas prices and vast U.S. shale supplies. Earlier in October, hedge fund giant Jana Partners said it is counting sustained low natural gas prices and the benefits of a shale drilling boom to be a key piece of its $500 million-plus investment in Calgary-based Agrium, and its push for agricultural conglomerate to unlock share value by splitting its retail business from a much larger wholesale business. Jana Partners calculates that the benefits of low natural gas prices and a breakup of Agrium could unlock a $50 a share upside in the company.

Campaign Finance & Election
Campaigns should be open and free, not prone to manipulation through government financing schemes. And now the U.S. Supreme Court agrees.
"I'm 6'5" and weigh 225 pounds," KPHO-TV (Channel 5) news anchor Jon Du Pre cautioned the audience gathered at the Ritz-Carlton Phoenix for the final gubernatorial candidate forum Wednesday, "but my crew director is in even better shape, and we'll evict any hecklers."
Had liquor been served, the swanky hotel could have been the scene of a riot, as loyalties and passions ran high.
Less than a month away from the September primary, election year 2002 is already in full swing.
And the race for governor is no exception: with four democrats, three republicans, two libertarians and an independent looking to succeed Jane Hull as Arizona's next governor.
Is questioning politicians an art, a science or an exercise in futility? Answer: all of the above.
It also can be enlightening, revealing and just plain fun. It was all of those during a gubernatorial candidates' debate Tuesday evening in Tucson. The debate was sponsored by the Goldwater Institute and the Tucson Citizen, and all 10 candidates for governor took part.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Phoenix is a bad word to some candidates for governor, especially when they're on a podium in Arizona's second largest city.
Candidates took more shots at Arizona's most populous city than each other during a Tuesday evening candidate forum sponsored by the Tucson Citizen and the Goldwater Institute, a conservative think tank in Phoenix.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Alfredo Gutierrez said he would abolish the state schools facilities board and take a hammer to tax loopholes and giveaways.
Gutierrrez spoke at a debate last night at the Marriott University Park hotel sponsored by the Tucson Citizen and the Goldwater Institute that featured all 10 candidates for governor.
Our Opinion
It is ironic that Arizona's Clean Elections law has been responsible - directly and indirectly - for a good deal of dirt slung in the primary election campaign.
When voters approved the law four years ago, Clean Elections was touted as a revolutionary idea that would remove the power that large-money donors supposedly held over those elected to state offices.
U.S. Reps. John Shadegg and Jeff Flake, stalwart conservative Republicans from separate areas of the Valley, filed Monday for re-election.
Unless GOP opposition materializes before the filing deadline of 5 p.m. Wednesday, the two will be unopposed in the Sept. 10 primary. Dusko Jovicic, who announced he would run against Shadegg, is now aiming for the seat being vacated by the GOP's Bob Stump.
John O'Donnell taught high school for 28 years and became more and more disenchanted with Arizona's beleaguered educational system.
The Cottonwood resident wanted to get into state politics to help revamp public schools, but he didn't feel comfortable asking people for lots of money to bankroll his campaign. So O'Donnell, like hundreds of incumbents and political newcomers, is using the state's new program of publicly funding candidates.
Citizen Staff Report
All 10 candidates for Arizona governor will participate in a forum here Aug. 20 co-sponsored by the Goldwater Institute of Phoenix and the Tucson Citizen.
The forum is free and open to the public. It will be held at the Marriott University Park hotel, 880 E. Second St., from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Four Democrats, three Republicans and two Libertarians and an independent are running to succeed Gov. Jane Hull.
Now that the Iowa caucuses are over, can we finally have a sensible discussion about the federal governments obsession with ethanol?

Open-Source Microfluidic Interfaces and Controls
La Jolla, CA
United States
Votes: 1
May 11, 2011
Advances in microscopy have made single cell analysis an important approach in both the study of cell signaling pathways and in high content analysis used in drug development. Microfluidic techniques have further enhanced these approaches and there has been an enormous explosion of new assays and techniques developed to exploit the advantages of this approach. One of the bottlenecks in the growth of microfluidics has been the lack of availability and the expense of devices to implement these experiments. Our approach addresses this need.
Our platform not only offers both immediate and long-term benefits to scientists using microfluidic devices in their labs, but also creates the foundation of new commercial opportunities for products and services. The platform consists of:
1. Valve manifold delivering a programmable pressure to 8 ports, expandable to 96 ports.
2. Microscope-mounted cell culture chamber with programmable temperature and CO2 control.
3. Chip-to-world interface that is uncomplicated and reduces setup time to minutes.
The long-term goal is to create a self-sustaining community to continue development of this and other open source products for biology research.
Our platform expands the potential user-base of microfluidic devices by addressing two challenges facing scientists using microfluidic devices in their labs, the chip-to-world interface and the pneumatic control manifolds. First, the chip-to-world interface eliminates error-prone steps from experimental setup, reducing setup time to minutes even for inexperienced users. Second, the programmable manifold replaces complicated tubing and wiring connections with an elegant, all-in-one product capable of delivering an adjustable pneumatic pressures to as many as 96 ports. If these two challenges are overcome, the remaining challenge of fabricating the microfluidic devices can be sidestepped if the microfluidic devices are provided by scientific collaborators, or purchased from an academic or commercial microfluidic foundry.
Over the long-term, this platform will drive adoption of microfluidic devices, thus increasing innovation in biology research, for three reasons. First, it's ease-of-use lowers a significant barrier to adoption by new scientists. Second, even seasoned microfluidics researchers will adopt the open source designs as foundations to tweak and modify because doing so both obviates the need to reinvent basic common functions and also allows them to reap the benefit of a community-tested design. Third, this platform costs less than comparable commercial products, even when ordered in quantities of 1 or 2 units, by using readily available 3D printing and contract PCB assembly vendors located in the US, lowering another potential barrier to adoption by scientists.
Despite the fact the designs will be open source, the consolidation of microfluidics infrastructure will create new markets and other opportunities for companies. For example sales of subscription-based customer support consumables such as reagent kits, and professional assembly services for convenience or regulatory reasons. These designs may also be incorporated into commercial products analogous to how TiVo DVRs use Linux as their underlying operating system. Indeed, many successful business models in the open source software industry may translate to an open source scientific product industry.

The inquiry method and meteorological and astronomical online data can be used to elicit the inconsistencies of students' naïve ideas about the "real" reasons for the seasons. The first phase of this two-part investigation uses online meteorological data to identify factors that might explain differences of seasonal temperatures among cities These factors are used to hypothesize why differences of seasonal temperatures occur among cities. During the second phase, the variables and hypotheses that were previously identified in part one are used to design and conduct an inquiry-oriented investigation. Astronomical data is used as part of the investigation to "test" students' hypotheses conclusions are drawn then communicated.

Hi, I'm from Italy.Your snowflake is really cool! It's the first time that I hear about shrink plastic. Can you tell me where can I buy it? Is it simply to use? Thank you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi! Thank you for your comment! And how great that you want to use shrink plastic!Delete
There are many places to buy it. You can just googled 'shrink plastic' and you will get some links. And maybe if you search on the Italian google, there's a change that you will find Italian online shops with lower shipping costs for you.
You can also try Ebay, because they just sell everything!
Good luck!xx
Quick question! The first one pictured looks so much thicker than the shrink paper one. What is it made of?ReplyDeleteReplies
The necklace in every picture is the same, so maybe it looks thinner on the picture?Delete
I don't know if you ever used shrink paper before, but the magical part about it, is that it shrinks in size and the amount that it shrinks, it adds in thickness. So the picture where I show how to cut a hole in it, shows the plastic before it gains it's 'thickness'.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!xx

|Good News Translation (GNT)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 The Lord spoke to me.
|1 The word of the LORD came to me:
|2 "Mortal man," he said, "denounce Gog, chief ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal in the land of Magog. Denounce him
|2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him
|3 and tell him that I, the Sovereign Lord, am his enemy.
|3 and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
|4 I will turn him around, put hooks in his jaws, and drag him and all his troops away. His army, with its horses and uniformed riders, is enormous, and every soldier carries a shield and is armed with a sword.
|4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army--your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.
|5 Troops from Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with him, and all have shields and helmets.
|5 Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets,
|6 All the fighting men of the lands of Gomer and Beth Togarmah in the north are with him, and so are men from many other nations.
|6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops--the many nations with you.
|7 Tell him to get ready and have all his troops ready at his command.
|7 " 'Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them.
|8 After many years I will order him to invade a country where the people were brought back together from many nations and have lived without fear of war. He will invade the mountains of Israel, which were desolate and deserted so long, but where all the people now live in safety.
|8 After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety.
|9 He and his army and the many nations with him will attack like a storm and cover the land like a cloud."
|9 You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.
|10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Gog: "When that time comes, you will start thinking up an evil plan.
|10 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme.
|11 You will decide to invade a helpless country where the people live in peace and security in unwalled towns that have no defenses.
|11 You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people--all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.
|12 You will plunder and loot the people who live in cities that were once in ruins. They have been gathered from the nations, and now they have livestock and property and live at the crossroads of the world.
|12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land."
|13 The people of Sheba and Dedan and the merchants from the towns of Spain will ask you, "Have you assembled your army and attacked in order to loot and plunder? Do you intend to get silver and gold, livestock and property, and march off with all those spoils?' "
|13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, "Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?" '
|14 So the Sovereign Lord sent me to tell Gog what he was saying to him: "Now while my people Israel live in security, you will set out
|14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it?
|15 to come from your place in the far north, leading a large, powerful army of soldiers from many nations, all of them on horseback.
|15 You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army.
|16 You will attack my people Israel like a storm moving across the land. When the time comes, I will send you to invade my land in order to show the nations who I am, to show my holiness by what I do through you.
|16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.
|17 You are the one I was talking about long ago, when I announced through my servants, the prophets of Israel, that in days to come I would bring someone to attack Israel." The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
|17 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Are you not the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel? At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them.
|18 The Sovereign Lord says, "On the day when Gog invades Israel, I will become furious.
|18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD.
|19 I declare in the heat of my anger that on that day there will be a severe earthquake in the land of Israel.
|19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
|20 Every fish and bird, every animal large and small, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble for fear of me. Mountains will fall, cliffs will crumble, and every wall will collapse.
|20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.
|21 I will terrify Gog with all sorts of calamities. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken. His men will turn their swords against one another.
|21 I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother.
|22 I will punish him with disease and bloodshed. Torrents of rain and hail, together with fire and sulfur, will pour down on him and his army and on the many nations that are on his side.
|22 I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.
|23 In this way I will show all the nations that I am great and that I am holy. They will know then that I am the Lord."
|23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'

Carson, in Colorado Springs, Colo. 1st Lt. Dunn, with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, had not seen his wife and baby since he deployed in March. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley)
FOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — First Lt. Aaron Dunn deployed to the Afghanistan in early March 2012. His 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, was charged with engaging Taliban fighters in Kunar Province and mentoring Afghan government soldiers. Upon returning, here are some of his views.
Coming home:
"War and coming home are going to mean different things to each soldier. For me it was God and Family. I get my security in life from my hope in God, and my companionship and support from my family. I really didn't worry too much during deployment, because of that faith."
Support for those serving:
"For a lot of soldiers, it's the family back home that drives them. Support from family and friends is very important. Support is also important from the American public. Often times a simple thank you is enough."
The emotional toll:
"In my opinion, its tougher on the families, especially after the unit takes a casualty. I personally can't imagine waiting, not knowing if your loved one is alive or even alright, and having a panic each time a car drives by your drive way thinking it's the military chaplain and escort coming to see you."
Making up for the lost time with family:
"A lot of people seem to think that 'quality time' will make up for a long absence. It doesn't. Its 'quantity time' that does that. It is the time spent doing things that are fun, but also the time spent doing the daily chores, and other routines that firmly bring a family together. Emma was 5 months old when I deployed, and 14 months old when I returned. I was able to stay in touch with the family and had the luck to watch Emma begin to crawl via Skype."

Great Cheesecake Recipe..:)
I finally found my favorite cheesecake recipe from the olden days and tweaked it to make it LC friendly.
You could make it crustless, or with a flaxseed meal/almond meal/cinnamon/sweetener/melted butter crust. Or a nut crust..
I baked my crust for about 10 minutes at 325..Then here is the recipe
for the filling:
Preheat oven to 375...
For a 9 inch springform pan:
2 (8 ounces) packages of cream cheese, softened to room temp
2 eggs
1/2 cup sweetener of choice
1 tsp. of vanilla
Beat this all with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into prepared pan or
over slightly baked crust. Bake 20 minutes at 375.
Remove from oven and let it sit for 15 minutes cooling on a rack. Meanwhile turn your oven up to 475.
Now, mix the topping:
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sweetener
1 tsp. of vanilla
After the 15 minutes of cooling, spread the topping on the cheesecake and return to the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove and place on rack until room temperature. Then cover with foil or wrap and refrigerate for 10-12 hours until firm.
Makes 10 servings..
Mmmmm. I'll bet this is REAL good. You know, Carolyn, I'm probably the only low-carber out there that rarely makes cheesecake. :hyst: It's not because I don't like them, but because I like them TOO darn much! It's the one dessert I have real portion control issues with. But I may just make this when I next have company. That's usually when I crater and make cheesecake. Thanks for posting this!
You are welcome, Peggy..In my HC days, I remember this being extremely creamy, so I wonder how it will taste with the liquid splenda I used..I'll find out tomorrow night, I guess.
Oh...when I make sweet things..I always have a piece for breakfast until it is all gone.
This reminds me of a 1950's recipe from Sunset Magazine.
I think it was the first time I ever made a successful cheesecake.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Peggy, what is cratering?:)
v. crater: v.intr.
1. To form a crater or craters.
2. Slang
a. To fall and crash violently from a great height.
b. To fail utterly
Company just left..It was as creamy as ever..:) They all loved it..:)
I think I will make this very soon. It sounds so good.
BUT I too have portion control issues w/any dessert. So I was wondering if you have ever frozen it? I was thinking freezing 1/2. Just wondered.
Thanks for the receipe!! :shake:
If I make it crustless, can I use a pie pan or glass baking dish instead of a springform?
Hmmm..I think you can, just spray the bottom with Pam in case it sticks. Now, be sure
to cool this well so it will be nice and firm...Enjoy..
This is exactly the recipe I use for the cream cheese muffins. I use 16 ounces cream cheese, 2 eggs and between 1/3 and 1/2 cup of a sugar free flavoring syrup - Davinci's or Torani, depending on what I have. I bake them in aluminum foil baking cups, and get a dozen from this recipe. I froze half the last time, and they thawed fine.
What a great ideal!!!
Thank you
Anybody know about how many carbs per slice?
This sounds great!
This sounds so good!
This is a very good recipe....has anyone ever added cocoa to it??
Just wondered.
Hmmm..No, Anna..but I would check out chocolate cheesecake recipes to get an idea how that might work with cocoa..(add more sweetener)..
But a good place to start would be to use the cocoa to make sugar-free baking chocolate:
For 1 oz semisweet baking chocolate:
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
the equivalent sweetness of 3 tablespoons sugar
(so that would be 4 1/2 packets splenda, for example)
1 tablespoon butter or a mixture of butter and coconut oil
I'd say you'd want about 1 1/2 oz if you wanted to swirl the chocolate into this recipe to make a marbled cheesecake, or up to 3 oz if you want it all chocolate. But that's just a guess, based on other cheesecakes I've done.
Make the cheesecake batter. If you don't encorporate the chocolate enough into the cheesecake batter, you'll end up with a weird texture in the chocolate part. So for marbled, pour half of the cheesecake batter into the pan, then mix the chocolate mixture with the remaining batter and then swirl that into the first part of the batter in the pan. Then bake it and do the sour cream topping as written.
If you want it all chocolate and not marbled, add the cooled but still liquid chocolate to the batter, stirring well but gently, just before you put it into the pan.
Look at beachgirl's marbled cheesecake for a different technique. Carolyn's recipe is more straightfoward, though.
Beachgirl's Mocha Marble Cheesecake - LowCarbFriends Recipes
Thank you for the answers.
I will add the liquid chocolate emel. Great ideal.
I had/have all the indgredients on hand for this cheesecake, and not some of the other chocolate recipes. And this is so good and easy, I just wondered if anyone had added chocolate.
Anyway, thanks again, and emel, I will try your ideal. The swirl sounds pretty.
subbing ! Sounds delish :)
I used a 10 inch pan and added another 8 ounces of cream cheese and another egg to the base and a bit more sour cream to the top.
I baked the cake about 25 minutes..It looks fabulous...
I made this cheesecake for Father's Day. My husband and son both loved it. Sweetened with a mixture of stevia, splenda, and nectresse. Served with a mixture of fresh raspberries and blueberries drizzled with raspberry DaVinci's syrup. I made a crust of ground almonds, sliced almonds, and flax meal with melted butter. It was such a treat to have a good low carb dessert. Thanks Carolyn!
Yeah, Freckles..I love this cheesecake..It is sooo creamy.
I'm thinking maybe 6-8 carbs per slice if you divide it into 8 pieces?
8 pieces would be huge..LOL..I just made this in a 9 x 9 inch baking dish and will be cutting them into about 24 small pieces.
That is why you are losing or maintaining
If I gave Mr. J. 24th of a cheese cake, he would say he
wouldn't dirty his teeth on such a small bite :laugh:
Lol. No, I'm a bit over my limit, so back to the plan. Cheesecake is all gone thanks to last night's party.
For the top, I put a can of Lucky Leaf Light Cherry Pie Filling. It made it extra special.
This is the same recipe for the cream cheese muffins (minus the crust). I make them in a muffin pan and get 12. I find it's easier for portion control. I have one every night for dessert. :yummy:
Oh, I am going to try this for muffins since I have sour cream leftover.

A hot-air balloon rises over an expanse of Oxford countryside; a terrified boy cries inside the balloon's light basket; and outside, a man hangs on, frantically and hopelessly trying to pull the thing down as it rises fatally higher, to the horror of the few bystanders who happen, by terrible luck, to be in that green field on that specimen day. The opening event in Enduring Love, with its mesmerizing mixture of idyll and plausible catastrophe, is more cinematic than the first-act set pieces that have kicked off a hundred action films. Yet the quicksilver crosscurrents of menace, lost innocence, and everydayness are just as forceful even more so on the page: They're the trademark invention of Ian McEwan, the best-selling British author whose clammy, unsettling stories and coolly intense literary style don't usually translate nearly so effectively as in this haunting and even shocking film adapted from his 1998 novel of the same name.
The balloon accident hovers in our memory throughout director Roger Michell's tensely vivid production (from a taut script by British playwright Joe Penhall), as the setting moves from the big outdoors to the claustrophobia of daily city living. But the unfolding horrific present belongs to Joe (Daniel Craig) and Jed (Rhys Ifans), two of the bystanders whose own attempts to help ground the balloon proved useless. Although strangers to one another Joe is a university science teacher who happened to be picnicking with his girlfriend, Claire (Samantha Morton), that day; Jed is an unshakable, creepy drifter the fates of the two become profoundly entwined when Jed, whose head is short-circuited with notions of devotion and religious revelation, professes an instant, enduring love for Joe.
The full, choking excitement of the story rests on the slow-building threat of Jed's dangerous obsession (it's beyond sexual; it's closer to celestial) and the effect that love has in weighing Joe down so that he, too, falls not from the sky, but from the grace of his life with Claire before the accident. What, the film asks, are the properties of true devotion? Does all love except something as uncontainable as Jed's drift away, untethered? The psychology of McEwan's stories places daunting demands on the skill of actors to be without doing (see Paul Schrader's 1991 adaptation of The Comfort of Strangers for a failed attempt). So Michell's achievement is all the greater in modulating the coiled reposes of his superb male leads, both of whom have worked with the director before. (Craig reawakened the sexuality of an older woman hell, he'd wake the comatose in The Mother, Ifans played Hugh Grant's floppy Welsh roommate in Notting Hill.)
Plenty happens in Enduring Love, especially as Jed stalks Joe with ever-bolder ingenuity, and the plot reaches a typically outsize, McEwanesque climax of violent grotesquerie. But what we float off with is Craig's contained forcefulness, and the way the director uses the actor's handsome physical solidity as a measure of man on earth. What blows us away is the power of Ifans' moist puppy eyes and chilling smile as a true believer undeterred by reality.

Biogen's New Multiple Sclerosis Pill Sales: $192 Million
Updated with new information
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. ( TheStreet) -- Biogen Idec (BIIB) reported $192 million in second-quarter sales of its new multiple sclerosis pill Tecfidera and raised earnings guidance for the rest of the year.
Investors had high expectations for Tecfidera going into this morning's earnings report -- looking for end-user sales of at least $90 million in the first three months of the drug's U.S. launch.Biogen appears to have given investors what they wanted. Total Tecfidera sales to patients -- a true measure of demand for the drug -- were $110 million. The company recorded another $82 million in Tecfidera revenue from wholesaler inventory stocking. Helped along by the strong Tecfidera launch, Biogen raised guidance for 2013 adjusted earnings to a range of $8.25 to $8.50 per share, above the current consensus of $8.20 per share. Biogen said it expects to post revenue growth for 2013 in the range of 22 percent to 23 percent, above the 20 percent earnings growth expected by analysts. Still, Biogen shares were trading flat to slightly down Thursday largely due to high expectations already priced into the stock, plus lingering concerns about the company's ability to launch Tecfidera in Europe on time. On a conference call, Biogen executives said Tecfidera exclusivity discussions in Europe were taking longer than expected and that any revenue generated by the drug in Europe this year would not be meaningful. Some investors took this to mean that Biogen may not launch the drug in Europe this year, as expected, although the company did not come out and say that specifically. Back in the U.S., Biogen said the rate at which new multiple sclerosis patients start on Tecfidera may "moderate" in the next quarters because of pent-up demand for the drug at its launch. For the quarter ended June 30, Biogen reported adjusted net income of $549 million, or $2.30 per share, up 25 percent and 26 percent from the prior year's quarter, respectively. Revenue in the second quarter totaled $1.7 billion, an 21 percent increase over from the year-ago quarter. Biogen shares closed Wednesday at $226.61, ahead of the earnings announcement. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston. Follow @AdamFeuerstein

Bill to Test Radon in Schools Passes Senate
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) --
The Iowa Senate has passed a bill requiring school districts to test for the presence of radon gas.
The Democratic-led bill passed 35-14 after Sen. Matt McCoy, a Democrat from Des Moines, criticized it as watered down "like a warm bucket of spit."
McCoy supports the bill but is unhappy with changes that remove the requirement of certified testers and plans to reduce radon if found.
McCoy says fewer than 10 percent of Iowa schools are tested.
Sen. Tod Bowman, a Maquoketa Democrat, says the bill isn't perfect but will identify how many schools have radon.
Republican Sen. Mark Chelgren, of Ottumwa, says the bill which moves to the House, is improved because it removes mandates that were undue burdens.
The EPA recommends building testing for the radioactive gas.
