You are a first-year student or freshman, if you will be a senior in high school in the 2013/2014 school year, or you have never taken a college class after graduating from high school.
You are a transfer student if you have enrolled at another college, university, or another campus of the University of Colorado (including Continuing Education and Professional Studies) since earning your high school diploma or equivalent.
Transfer students who wish to attend a more comprehensive two-day orientation program should call the Office of Orientation to make this request at 303-492-4431.
First-year and transfer students lacking a college composition course are recommended to complete the Writing Self-Placement Questionnaire. Completing this simple questionnaire now (it is not an exam) will help pre-enroll you for one of your recommended classes for the fall term. For most students this will be WRTG 1150.
Most new incoming students are also required to complete the ALEKS mathematical skills assessment.
Learn more about assessment tests for Environmental Design students by following the link to Placement Testing in the right-hand column.
You should begin to review course options (see course recommendations under "July" below) and plan for your fall semester course selection. As an entering student, you will build a schedule that includes both courses within the Program (designated with the Environmental Design "ENVD" prefix) and courses outside the program (like WRTG 1150).
You are encouraged to preview the general guidelines for registration offered on the Registrar's Office web pages and to acquaint yourself with the course search process available through the Guest Course Search.
After you successfully complete orientation you will register for your fall courses. You may refer to the instructions for online course registration offered on the Registrar's Office web pages. Please keep in mind that though you may be pre-registered for WRTG 1150 (see above) you should give priority to the three required ENVD courses and may need to drop the WRTG 1150 course if it conflicts in time with any of those ENVD classes.
Selecting your Fall classes
The recommended classes for entering ENVD students are noted below. These recommended courses are also designated on this downloadable advising sheet.
NOTE: Freshmen are encouraged to plan for 15 credit hours their first semester. (For most purposes, full-time status is defined as enrollment for 12 or more credit hours.) As you begin to plan your classes, it's always a good idea to create a preliminary list with several extra courses, as alternative candidates, should you need them as backup choices. This is especially true of the courses outside the ENVD program.
Course Recommendations (15 hours total)
ENVD classes (9 hours)
All incoming Freshman and Transfer students will enroll in the following three courses.
These classes are linked instructionally, so you must enroll in all three classes.
ENVD 1004 Introduction to ENVD Theory.........................3 hours
ENVD 1052 Design and Communication 1...............3 hours
ENVD 2001 Human Behavior in Design and Planning......3 hours
Non-ENVD course options (6 hours)
Choose from the following categories:
General Education: WRTG 1150 (or ARSC 1150)................ 3 hours
General Education: Humanities (see below) ................... 3 hours
General Education: Social Science (see below) .............. 3 hours
Non-ENVD elective....................................................... 3 hours
NOTE: Students with significant credits from AP or transfer coursework may also wish to consider one of the General Education course options for mathematics or natural sciences listed below.
General Education Course Options
One course is required from each of the following areas:
Writing: WRTG 1150 (or ARSC 1150)
Humanities: Choose one class from these Arts & Sciences core areas: Human Diversity, Literature and the Arts, or Ideals and Values
Social Science: Choose one class from these Arts & Sciences core areas: Historical Context, United States Context, or Contemporary Societies
Mathematics: Choose one class from your intended emphasis area: Architecture: MATH 1150 or MATH 1300; Planning: MATH 2510 or SOCY 2061; Landscape Architecture: MATH 1150, MATH 1300, MATH 2510 or SOCY 2061.
Natural Sciences: Choose one class (or pair) from your intended emphasis area: Architecture: PHYS 2010; Planning/Landscape Architecture: EBIO 1030+1050, EBIO 1210 +1230, CHEM 1113, PHYS 2010.
Elective Coursework
Regardless of their emphasis, all ENVD students will complete at least 20 hours of elective courses as a part of their degree. As you request your fall courses, you may want to select elective course options that meet your personal and academic interests.
ENVD electives (taught within our program) are typically taken after the freshman year.
Non-ENVD electives—from arts and sciences, engineering, business, music, education, or journalism—may be completed any time from the first term onward.

Laura Mercier • Loose Setting Powder - Translucent • Loose Powders

The product is great. It's oil-control, gives silky matte finish and is long lasting. I've been using countless jars of this for the past 7 years in alternative with Nars light reflecting setting powder.
I took one lippy of because the quality of the packaging is so poor. All of which i had used broke at the rim. I don't understand why LM never fix this prob.

This is my holy grail setting powder! It looks amazing. My favourite thing about this powder is that it seems to have a blurring effect on blemishes. Even though it's translucent, I use it on my bare skin and it makes me look like I'm glowing. I love the way it feels on your skin too, it's so fine and you can't even tell it's there. I recently lost it, and it made me so upset, but I'm definitely going to repurchase!

I have very oily skin and this leaves a natural, matte finish, but after using it for about a week or so, I was so disappointed that it broke me out. It also contains ethylhexel palmitate, which is known to cause acne.. Switched to "It Cosmetics" Bye Bye Pores translucent setting powder which is amazing!

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Blue
Sorry guys, this caused nasty breakouts for me. I tried over and over again hoping it was hormonal or another product. But today I stopped using it, and my skin is clearing up already and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet. Almost like it suffocated my skin, also it contains pore clogging ingredients, including cornstarch, can't imagine skin would like that. Soo if this doesn't make your skin get lil bumps on your cheeks, upper cheek under your eyes, then it's awesome, but I wouldn't know how this doesn't clog people's skin up. If your sensitive at all...I would STAY AWAY!!!!! Color is great though, finely miled, looked dewy and melted in skin, not matte.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Black
I'm so excited abt this product, I logged in first thing in the morning to want to write a review on this. This finishes everything I put so beautifully, even BB creams or liquid foundations that I thought were too oily and sticky for me, I tried to set them with this loose powder and voila, miracle happens, my face wasn't too oily or sticky anymore as it gives a nice soft, powdery finish. What's even more amazing is that it controls oil and even after a day out, my skin still remains non-oily/non-shiny. I would repurchase.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Red, Straight, Medium Eyes: Blue
Price: 3 (there's a lot in there)
Packaging: 2
Buy again: no
This is an okay powder. I have slightly dry skin so I have to make sure to moisturize well or else it brings out flakes on my nose. I'm nc15-20 and I wish the powder appeared slightly more translucent as it manages to cover most of my freckles in one pass. While the finish is matte/dusty even with a thin layer when first applied (not a fan), I think it actually looks really lovely a few hours in after it's mixed with my natural oils (I feel like I need to reapply after 5 hours); at this point my skin looks even, fresh and dewy. However I'm not sure I'd buy it again just for that.
On the packaging: there are loose powder containers that make much less mess than this-- the holes are too large and too many, causing an avalanche of powder to collect in the lid so that I must shake it slightly before opening to ensure the drift has moved away from the lip of the tub. I can't imagine taking this bulky tub out with me and trying to reapply a public bathroom.

I wanted to love this but it contains Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Zea Mays which are both pore clogging ingredients. And it did it's job. It definitely clogged my pores. As soon as I stopped using this, my face cleared up.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has acne prone skin.

Hits of the Week from Kveller: June 10 – 14
This week's most popular posts, in case you missed them.
- A Non-Jewish Surrogate Gave Birth to My Son, And Then We Held a Conversion Ceremony. Alissa's son was born through a non-Jewish surrogate, and since the halakhic laws go back and forth on whether that he means he's Jewish, Alissa decided to make it official through conversion when he was 4.
– I Need to Stop Yelling at My Kids. Growing up, Yael felt terrible when her mother yelled at her, and she swore she'd never do that to her own kids. But lo and behold, she finds herself yelling quite often, and for the coming year, pledges to stop.
– I Was a Breastfeeding Snob… Until I Had Twins. Racheli couldn't understand why any mother who was physically able to breastfeed would choose not to. Then she had twins, and realized that breastfeeding is not always for everyone, and there's no point in judging other mother's for their choices.
– Jewish Divorce: Getting a Get With Mayim Bialik. As she navigates through her own divorce, Mayim shares some of the Jewish aspects, like getting a get, the legal Jewish way to break a marriage contract.

If I take blood pressure meds, what is a safe diet pill I can take?
- Q: If I take blood pressure meds, what is a safe diet pill I can take?
- A: There are many over-the-counter and herbal supplement products advertised as appetite suppressants. Generally, these products work by stimulating the body into thinking it is not hungry. The side effects of these products include increased heart rate and blood pressure and addiction with long-term use. Remember, the basic principle of weight loss is to eat fewer calories than your body uses. Exercise not only can help you lose weight by using more of the calories you take in, but physical activity has been shown to lower blood pressure on its own. There is no one weight0-loss product that can work for every person. It is important to find an eating and fitness plan that works for you. For more information about weight loss, please visit http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/weight-loss.aspx and consult with your health care practitioner. Michelle McDermott, PharmD

Birthing on country: An elusive ideal?
The concept of birthing on country for Aboriginal people means having babies born on traditional lands, and more recently the term is used to indicate the desire of Aboriginal communities to have our babies born in our communities.
Being born on country connects an Aboriginal person to the land and community in a deeply cultural way and affords life-long privileges such as hunting and fishing rights, as well as lifelong responsibilities for looking after country, both land and people. For Aboriginal women, birthing has moved from the personal to the political as governments provide policies about what is 'best' for Aboriginal women and their babies.

Kinam and Eric,
Thank you again for another wonderful time at your lovely place. We had an excellent time! It was sooo relaxing. The beach walks were wonderful this year and the fishing was excellent! We enjoyed watching all the salmon fishermen. The kings were in. Neighbors caught pink salmon off the beach and crab pots were filled. The best time of the day for me, besides wonderful golden hour on the deck and glorious sunsets, is dawn, with spectacular sunrise over Seattle. The sky was different every day but always beautiful.. Magical moments! Yeomalt is one giant photo-opportunity! We look forward to returning in coming years!

Chapter I
At the little town of Vevey, in Switzerland, there is a particularly comfortable hotel; there are indeed many hotels, since the entertainment of tourists is the business of the place, which, as many travellers will remember, is seated upon the edge of a remarkably blue lake —a lake that it behoves every tourist to visit. The shore of the lake presents an unbroken array of establishments of this order, of every category, from the "grand hotel" of the newest fashion, with a chalk-white front, a hundred balconies, and a dozen flags flying from its roof, to the small Swiss pension of an elder day, with its name inscribed in German-looking lettering upon a pink or yellow wall and an awkward summer-house in the angle of the garden. One of the hotels at Vevey, however, is famous, even classical, being distinguished from many of its upstart neighbours by an air both of luxury and of maturity. In this region, through the month of June, American travellers are extremely numerous; it may be said indeed that Vevey assumes at that time some of the characteristics of an American watering-place. There are sights and sounds that evoke a vision, an echo, of Newport and Saratoga. There is a flitting hither and thither of "stylish" young girls, a rustling of muslin flounces, a rattle of dance-music in the morning hours, a sound of high-pitched voices at all times. You receive an impression of these things at the excellent inn of the "Trois Couronnes," and are transported in fancy to the Ocean House or to Congress Hall. But at the "Trois Couronnes," it must be added, there are other features much at variance with thesesuggestions: neat German waiters who look like secretaries of legation; Russian princesses sitting in the garden; little Polish boys walking about, held by the hand, with their governors; a view of the snowy crest of the Dent du Midi and the picturesque towers of the Castle of Chillon.
I hardly know whether it was the analogies or the differences that were uppermost in the mind of a young American, who, two or three years ago, sat in the garden of the "Trois Couronnes," looking about him rather idly at some of the graceful objects I have mentioned. It was a beautiful summer morning, and in whatever fashion the young American looked at things they must have seemed to him charming. He had come from Geneva the day before, by the little steamer, to see his aunt, who was staying at the hotel—Geneva having been for a long time his place of residence. But his aunt had a headache—his aunt had almost always a headache—and she was now shut up in her room smelling camphor, so that he was at liberty to wander about. He was some seven-and-twenty years of age; when his friends spoke of him they usually said that he was at Geneva "studying." When his enemies spoke of him they said—but after all he had no enemies: he was extremely amiable and generally liked. What I should say is simply that when certain persons spoke of him they conveyed that the reason of his spending so much time at Geneva was that he was extremely devoted to a lady who lived there—a foreign lady, a person older than himself. Very few Americans—truly I think none—had ever seen this lady, about whom there were some singular stories. But Winterbourne had an old attachment for the little capital of Calvinism; he had been put to school there as a boy and had afterwards even gone, on trial—trial of the grey old "Academy" on the steep and stony hillside—to college there; circumstances which had led to his forming a great many youthful friendships. Many of these he had kept, and they were a source of great satisfaction to him.
After knocking at his aunt's door and learning that she was indisposed he had taken a walk about the town and then he had come in to his breakfast. He had now finished that repast, but was enjoying a small cup of coffee which had been served him on a little table in the garden by one of the waiters who looked like attachés. At last he finished his coffee and lit a cigarette. Presently a small boy came walking along the path—an urchin of nine or ten. The child, who was diminutive for his years, had an aged expression of countenance, a pale complexion and sharp little features. He was dressed in knickerbockers and had red stockings that displayed his poor little spindle-shanks; he also wore a brilliant red cravat. He carried in his hand a long alpenstock, the sharp point of which he thrust into everything he approached—the flower-beds, the garden-benches, the trains of the ladies' dresses. In front of Winterbourne he paused, looking at him with a pair of bright and penetrating little eyes.
"Will you give me a lump of sugar?" he asked in a small sharp hard voice—a voice immature and yet somehow not young.
Winterbourne glanced at the light table near him, on which his coffee-service rested, and saw that several morsels of sugar remained. "Yes, you may take one," he answered; "but I don't think too much sugar good for little boys."
This little boy stepped forward and carefully selected three of the coveted fragments, two of which he buried in the pocket of his knickerbockers, depositing the other as promptly in another place. He poked his alpenstock, lance-fashion, into Winterbourne's bench and tried to crack the lump of sugar with his teeth.
"Oh blazes; it's har-r-d!" he exclaimed, divesting vowel and consonants, pertinently enough, of any taint of softness.
Winterbourne had immediately gathered that he might have the honour of claiming him as a countryman. "Take care you don't hurt your teeth," he said paternally.
"I haven't got any teeth to hurt. They've all come out. I've only got seven teeth. Mother counted them last night, and one came out right afterwards. She said she'd slap me if any more came out. I can't help it. It's this old Europe. It's the climate that makes them come out. In America they didn't come out. It's these hotels."
Winterbourne was much amused. "If you eat three lumps of sugar your mother will certainly slap you," he ventured.
"She's got to give me some candy then," rejoined his young interlocutor. "I can't get any candy here—any American candy. American candy's the best candy."
"And are American little boys the best little boys?" Winterbourne asked.
"I don't know. I'm an American boy," said the child.
"I see you're one of the best!" the young man laughed.
"Are you an American man?" pursued this vivacious infant. And then on his friend's affirmative reply, "American men are the best," he declared with assurance.
His companion thanked him for the compliment, and the child, who had now got astride of his alpenstock, stood looking about him while he attacked another lump of sugar. Winterbourne wondered if he himself had been like this in his infancy, for he had been brought to Europe at about the same age.
"Here comes my sister!" cried his young compatriot. "She's an American girl, you bet!"
Winterbourne looked along the path and saw a beautiful young lady advancing. "American girls are the best girls," he thereupon cheerfully remarked to his visitor.
"My sister ain't the best!" the child promptly returned. "She's always blowing at me."
"I imagine that's your fault, not hers," said Winterbourne. The young lady meanwhile had drawn near. She was dressed in white muslin, with a hundred frills and flounces and knots of pale-coloured ribbon. Bareheaded, she balanced in her hand a large parasol with a deep border of embroidery; and she was strikingly, admirably pretty. "How pretty they are!" thought our friend, who straightened himself in his seat as if he were ready to rise.
The young lady paused in front of his bench, near the parapet of the garden, which overlooked the lake. The small boy had now converted his alpenstock into a vaulting-pole, by the aid of which he was springing about in the gravel and kicking it up not a little. "Why Randolph," she freely began, "what are you doing?"
"I'm going up the Alps!" cried Randolph. "This is the way!" And he gave another extravagant jump, scattering the pebbles about Winterbourne's ears.
"That's the way they come down," said Winterbourne.
"He's an American man!" proclaimed Randolph in his harsh little voice.
The young lady gave no heed to this circumstance, but looked straight at her brother. "Well, I guess you'd better be quiet," she simply observed.
It seemed to Winterbourne that he had been in a manner presented. He got up and stepped slowly toward the charming creature, throwing away his cigarette. "This little boy and I have made acquaintance," he said with great civility. In Geneva, as he had been perfectly aware, a young man wasn't at liberty to speak to a young unmarried lady save under certain rarely-occurring conditions; but here at Vevey what conditions could be better than these?—a pretty American girl coming to stand in front of you in a garden with all the confidence in life. This pretty American girl, whatever that might prove, on hearing Winterbourne's observation simply glanced at him; she then turned her head and looked over the parapet, at the lake and the opposite mountains. He wondered whether he had gone too far, but decided that he must gallantly advance rather than retreat. While he was thinking of something else to say the young lady turned again to the little boy, whom she addressed quite as if they were alone together. "I should like to know where you got that pole."
"I bought it!" Randolph shouted.
"You don't mean to say you're going to take it to Italy!"
"Yes, I'm going to take it t' Italy!" the child rang out.
She glanced over the front of her dress and smoothed out a knot or two of ribbon. Then she gave her sweet eyes to the prospect again. "Well, I guess you'd better leave it somewhere," she dropped after a moment.
"Are you going to Italy?" Winterbourne now decided very respectfully to enquire.
She glanced at him with lovely remoteness. "Yes, sir," she then replied. And she said nothing more.
"And are you—a—thinking of the Simplon?" he pursued with a slight drop of assurance.
"I don't know," she said. "I suppose it's some mountain. Randolph, what mountain are we thinking of?"

Works Cited and Recommended Reading
1. "I wished to write a very American tale, a tale very characteristic of our social conditions," wrote Henry James in one of his Notebooks. How would you describe the social and political climate in New England as depicted in The Bostonians? Consider the profound effects of the recently ended Civil War, as well as the changes wrought by an increasingly industrial society.
2. In A. S. Byatt's Introduction, she notes that Henry James was raised in a progressive, transcendentalist household, and that he was "able to report the phantasmagoria of spiritual and political abstractions, magnetisms, and influences, with a surefooted realist solidity of specification . . . because it is what he knew best and first. . . . The characters even the southerner, Basil Ransom– are people James was at ease with, could represent economically, precisely, and with wit." Do you agree? Which of the charactersdescribed by Mrs. Luna as "witches and wizards, mediums, and spirit-rappers, and roaring radicals" stand out as the most fully realized? Do any of them strike you as caricatures?
3. According to Alison Lurie, "The central conflict in The Bostonians is over who will have possession of Verena. Because she is naive and passive, her own wishes have little to do with the outcome." Do you agree? Consider the various characters who battle to control the beautiful young orator: Olive Chancellor, Basil Ransom, the Tarrants, Mr.Burrage and his mother, and Matthias Pardon. How do their motives differ, and what does Verena represent to each of them?
4. Writing about The Bostonians, Irving Howe praises "James' affectionate rendering of places and scenes. The elegance of Olive Chancellor's drawing room, the dinginess of the Cambridge street in which the Tarrants live, the glimmering mildness of Cape Cod in the summer . . . The musty mumbling circle of reformers meeting, and sagging, in Miss Birdseye's rooms . . ." After reading James's satirical masterpiece, which scenes and locales strike you as the most vivid and memorable?
5. In Chapter 5, James writes that Olive "knew her place in the Boston hierarchy, and it was not what Mrs. Farrinder supposed; so that there was a want of perspective in talking to her as if she had been a representative of the aristocracy. . . . Olive Chancellor seemed to herself to have privileges enough without being affiliated to the exclusive
set and having invitations to the smaller parties, which were the real test." Can you find other examples of a defined social hierarchy in The Bostonians? How would you compare Olive's views on class structure with the social aspirations–or lack thereof–of Mrs. Luna, Miss Birdseye, Dr. Prance, and Mrs. Tarrant?
6. Much has been written about the closing line of The Bostonians: "It is to be feared that with the union, so far from brilliant, into which [Verena] was about to enter, these were not the last [tears] she was destined to shed." What do you imagine the future holds for Verena, Basil, and Olive?
7. When The Bostonians was first published, in 1886, it was deemed a critical and commercial failure in America. Why do you think James's nineteenth-century contemporaries found the novel so distasteful? Was it the author's colorful characterization of the women's suffrage movement or his depiction of a "Boston marriage" between Olive and Verena? Was it his depiction of a bitter struggle between a northerner and a southerner, so soon after the Civil War? As a modern reader, did you find the author's satirical portrait of the women's suffrage movement or Basil Ransom's antifeminist arguments offensive? Are the viewpoints expressed in the novel still relevant today?

Daisy Miller is the contemporary of two different worlds. Daisy acts as the symbol of the United States. She is young, fresh and vividly beautiful. Her innocence comes forth her within the specter of her flamboyant flirty conversation. As compared to the Old world virtues, who mock her because of the "extravagance" of her actions. She is seen as uncultured and utterly poised in an unorthodox manner which is to some respect true. Daisy, though, is quick to express the solidarity of her independence and she refuses to conform to the thoughts that others perceive of her. Along comes Winterbourne, probably the tale's protagonist as the image of Daisy is of his opinion and the story is told through his perspective. Winterbourne seems organized and dignified as shown by his everlasting attempt to classify Miss Daisy Miller. He ultimately fails. At first he is captivated and exceptionally attracted to Daisy only to reject her ideals and then soon having to regret it. Daisy, is indeed unique, her unique blend of a personality throws Winterbourne of course which later causes him to deeply worry of her health. Mr. Giovanelli snatches Daisy's attention. A man of a questionable reputation we know nothing of him other than he is an Italian. As Winterbourne ponders on what kind of a person Daisy is, despite their misunderstandings, she ultimately falls ill. Upon her death we learn that she did understand Winterbourne's intentions after it seems like she hasn't. He then speaks to his aunt Mrs. Costello who had flatly rejected her nephew's request to meet with the Millers very early within the story. Although, Winterbourne is unsure of what to do he eventually decides to return to Geneva. The book is entailed with a scene in which different aspects of culture are to meet. A scenario of a very beautiful American girl and an American boy who has adopted European standards.

Huron Mountains, Upper Michigan
The primary method of investigation for this research was GPR, which uses electromagnetic (EM) radio waves that are essentially the same as the radio waves a car antenna receives from a broadcasting radio station. The EM waves are radiated from a transmitter that pulses a signal into the ground. The waves are then diffracted, refracted, and most importantly reflected. The reflected signals are sent back toward the surface where they are measured by a receiver unit, amplified, and digitized by the computer and software that is used to record the measurements (Meyers et al., 1996). PulseEKKO 100 and 1000 GPR systems were used to collect profiles for this research. Both 100 MHz and 200 MHz frequencies were used in a stepped method of data collection where the transmitter and receiver antennae are moved individually in desired increments along a survey tape at constant distance from one another (1m for 100 MHz, .5m for 200 MHz). Topcon laser leveling survey equipment was used to collect topographic data that was then used to geometrically correct the reflection profiles. The data from the GPR transects and laser leveling was then loaded into Sensors and Software GPR programs for processing, visualization, plotting, and interpretation.
The western most of three GPR transects collected perpendicular to the orientation of the Chicken House dune. The transect runs from the southwest (left) to the northeast (right). A 100 MHz frequency was used to produce the reflection profile (top). Below the reflection profile is an outline of the dune with the interpretation of the stratigraphy imaged by the GPR inside the outline. The bottom line of the trace (bottom) shows the presence of the water table (WT). The dip in the water table is due to topographical correction and the existence of changing velocities the EM wave encounters as it travels through the ground. Each of the red lines traced over the reflection profile indicate points of interest, in this case showing prior slipfaces of the dune that have since been buried by the migration of the dune.
The center GPR transect collected on the Chicken House dune. This reflection profile (top) was also created using a frequency of 100 MHz. The interpretation of the reflection profile (bottom) highlights the nature of the stratigraphy contained within the dune. Again there is a clear representation of prior slipfaces created through the migration of the dune.
The eastern most GPR transect collected on the Chicken House dune. The reflection profile (top) was again created using the 100 MHz frequency antenna and receiver. The interpretation of the stratigraphy (bottom) for this transect differs from the center and west transect in some areas. While there is still significant evidence for prior slipfaces similar to the center and west transects, the east transect shows significantly more horizontal layering especially to the southwest (left). This is due to the orientation of the transect in regard to the morphology of the dune as it migrated across the landscape where the primary direction of movement was southeast (toward the viewer).
The eastern most of two GPR transects that were taken perpendicular to the orientation of the Longyear dune. The reflection profile (top) was created using a 200 MHz frequency antenna and receiver. There is clear evidence of prior dune slipfaces throughout the internal stratigraphy, with a few prominent sections
highlighted in red and transferred to the trace (bottom).
The same Longyear 1 transect as the profile to the left, but this reflection profile (top) was created using 100 MHz equipment instead of the 200 MHz. The reflection profile and the trace below show the same prominence of prior slipfaces, just with lower resolution compared to the 200 MHz.
The western most of the two GPR transects collected on the Longyear dune. The reflection profile (top) and the trace (bottom) show virtually the same indicators as the eastern transect. More strong evidence for prior slipfaces is present.
The interpretation of the GPR reflection profiles collected on the Chicken House and Longyear formations show that they are sand dunes that have been stabilized with vegetation cover. The first indicator is the cross sectional shape of the formations which are consistent with the shape of a dune, with a gradual windward slope leading to a crest and then down a slipface at an angle near the angle of repose (around 30°). The cross sectional shape is not enough to positively conclude that both formations are dunes though. To get a better idea of the processes involved in the building of the formations GPR was used to image the subsurface stratigraphy (layering) contained within. Interpretation of the reflection profiles shows that there is significant evidence of the type of layering that would be found in a sand dune that has migrated through the landscape over time. As the dune migrates, sand is blown up the windward (stoss) slope. From there the grains build up on the crest of the dune. Over time there will be a buildup of sand grains on the crest of the dune to the capacity that it can no longer support itself. The buildup will then collapse and fall down the existing slipface, effectively creating a new slipface (David, 1977).
Above shows a generalized diagram of how this process works to create the stratigraphy seen in the GPR reflection profiles of the Chicken House and Longyear dunes. Each of the GPR transects collected on the dunes show very similar stratigraphy to one another and are all consistent with the idea of a migrating dune creating new slipfaces over time. The profile that differs the most from the others is the Chicken House East transect. Near the current slipface, extending into the dune, there is still strong evidence for prior slipfaces. But as the further away from the slipface, the more horizontal the stratigraphy becomes. This is due to the transect be positioned parallel along the small arm that runs perpendicular to the rest of the dune. This means the transect is essentially looking in the opposite direction of the others with respect to the way the dune was formed, showing a different aspect of the dune's stratigraphy.
Above is an example of a solidified sand dune outside of Zion National Park in Utah. The stratigraphy that occurs within a dune can be clearly seen here, with the red lines highlighting a few of the many slipfaces that have occured over time.
The Chicken House dune and Longyear dune were concluded to in fact be dunes, which leads to the conclusion that there must have been a dryer climate in the study area than that of the current on in order for them to form. But what type of dune are they and where did the wind that created them come from? By looking at the bird's eye view of the Chicken House dune presented in the elevation model (below),
the dune shows an arm extending perpendicular to its majority at its southeast end. This formation is consistent with the description and illustration of the fish-hook dune (David, 1977).
It may also be a parabolic dune where one of the arms was removed by an undetermined erosional process. As for the wind direction, W to NW is the likely direction when considering the classification of the dune along with the presence of a sand supply to the dunes' W and NW.

Introducing myself and my journal: Talk to Me
About Me:
I am a Cameroonian and a journalist by profession with a passion for anything communication,gender and development.
In 2009 when I decided to leave Douala the economic capital of Cameroon to work on work on the female condom project in Kumba (a small town in the southwest region of Cameroon),my life and perspective changed. I have worked with youths and women at the grassroots on basic sexual reproductive health issues and it has been heart wrenching but strengthening as well.Each time I meet a young girl or woman who does not know the first thing about her body and did not even have a chance to get an education, I thank God that despite my humble background, I was given equal opportunity to education like my male sibling.Every girl has a right to that opportunity!
I am fulfilled each time I know my training on the field has taught and inspired someone to take charge of their lives by making informed decisions on sexual health.Every time I see a poor girl,woman or boy struggle and succeed to get an education despite the financial and ICT setbacks due to the nature of rural communities,I am more determined to get those tools that can help them help themselves.
I am execellent at social and commercial marketing,project implementation and management,communication,public relations and report writing.
I love learning and finding new solutions to old problems.
My Passions:
new cultures and ideas, women and development
My Challenges:
Administrative bootlenecks,endless male supriority complex
My Vision for the Future:
A world where those at the grassroots know the basics of most issues.
My Areas of Expertise:
Communication,gender,contraception(female and male condoms),social marketing,youths
Welcome! I sure wish there were more powerful people like you in the world :) I admire your vision for the future! I cannot wait to hear more of it.

M1 motorway
The M1 motorway is a large managed motorway in the United Kingdom (UK). It joins London and Leeds. It was the second motorway to be built in the UK, after the Preston bypass (which later formed part of the M6). It was the first UK motorway to be built that joined two cities, London and Birmingham.
Location[change | change source]
The motorway is 193 miles (310 km) long. It was built in four phases. Some of the motorway was opened in 1959. Other sections opened between 1965 and 1968. Two extensions were opened in 1977 and 1999.
The motorway is part of the unsigned European route E13.
History[change | change source]
The first section of the motorway opened between Junction 5 (Watford) and Junction 18 (Rugby). It opened on 2 November 1959. This included two of the motorway's spurs, the M10 at Junction 7, and the M45 at Junction 17. It followed near to the A5.
In 1965, an extension from Junction 18 towards Yorkshire was built. The motorway takes a more northerly route through the East Midlands. It passes near Leicester, Loughborough and Nottingham to Sheffield . Here the M18 splits from the M1 at Junction 32.
In 1972 an extension of the M1 was opened into central Leeds. It was called the Leeds South Eastern Motorway. It meets the Leeds South Western Motorway (M621) at Junction 43.
The first motorway service station was built on the M1. It was built in 1959. It is currently operated by RoadChef.

Technical Data
p47 phox (NCF1, NOXO2, Neutrophil cytosolic factor 1, 47kD Chronic granulomatous disease, autosomal 1)
NADPH Oxidase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase) complex is composed of p47 phox (cytosolic component bound to PKC that localizes to p22), p67 phox (cytosolic component that interacts with activated Rac to dock on the glycoprotein p91 subunit (gp91) of membrane bound cytochrome b), Rac2 (Rho family of GTPases), b558 (a cytochrome b transmembrane protein dimer made up of gp91 phox/p22 phox). The activated complex is responsible for the respiratory burst in neutrophils by the multiple phosphorylations of p47 phox by PKC. Neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (NCF1) is a 47kD cytosolic subunit of the multi-protein complex known as NADPH oxidase. Expression of NCF1 is restricted to granulocytes, monocytes and B lymphocytes. Defects in NCF1 have been reported to be a cause of autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease.
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Electron microscopy. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:500-1:1000. Detects p47-phox in RIPA lysates from HL-60 cells.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Recommended Control:
HL-60 cell lysate

Laughlin chaplain visits White House for Veterans Day

by Senior Airman Nathan Maysonet
47th Flying Training Wing Public Affairs
11/8/2013 -
LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas
-- A Laughlin chaplain was chosen by his peers to attend the White House breakfast Nov. 11, hosted annually by the president for members of the Veterans Day Committee.
Chaplain (Maj.) Andrew McIntosh, 47th Flying Training Wing chaplain, was asked by the Military Chaplains Association to attend the presidential breakfast as their representative at the event.
"As our representative, Chaplain McIntosh will join with other leaders at the White House to represent our veterans to the highest members of our government and then be transported to Arlington National Cemetery where he will attend the national wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns," said Lyman Smith, MCA deputy director. "The MCA is grateful for Chaplain McIntosh's service and the significant role he plays in representing the military chaplaincy at the national level."
McIntosh is an executive committee member for the MCA, which is an organization that is chartered by congress to be a voice for military chaplains. McIntosh's work with the MCA included supporting military chaplains transitioning from military service back into civilian congregations and veteran's affairs.
He will attend the event with representatives from other service organizations that join with the Department of Veterans Affairs each year to support the national observance of Veterans Day.
"It is an honor and a surprise to be asked to be a part of this event," said McIntosh. "This is my second year involved in the event and it's humbling to represent an organization dedicated to military chaplains that allows us to give so much back to our veterans."
Last year, McIntosh attended the national Veterans Day Ceremony as a flag bearer for the MCA at Arlington Ceremony. This year, McIntosh will attend his final MCA executive committee meeting in Washington D.C. during Veterans Day weekend and was asked by the organization if he would like to attend the breakfast this year. McIntosh accepted the honor wholeheartedly.
"I feel this is a great chance to further honor and serve our veterans," said McIntosh. "My first duty as a military chaplain was to attend the funeral of a veteran that had been on the deck of the U.S.S. Arizona during the attack at Pearl Harbor, so going to Washington to celebrate our veterans is very personal and important to me."
For McIntosh, seeing the president and both military and government leaders at the
breakfast is thrilling, but it is the veterans he will meet there that makes the trip worth it.
"Seeing the various generations of veterans in that setting and to stand amongst them will be amazing," said McIntosh. "The stories and histories our veterans have written and the ones our service members are still writing is powerful. I know the vets who have served us and who we know serve are proud of us."

Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased 43% to $10.1 million ($0.44 per basic common share and $0.43 per diluted common share), as compared to $7.0 million ($0.35 per basic and diluted common share) for the same three month period in 2011.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company's net income was $35.3 million, a 44% increase over the $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net income available to common shareholders increased 51% to $34.7 million ($1.65 per basic common share and $1.61 per diluted common share), as compared to $23.0 million ($1.16 per basic common share and $1.14 per diluted common share) for the year ended December 31, 2011.
"We are very pleased to report another quarter of record earnings, highlighted by strong, balanced and consistent financial performance, substantially higher total revenue from net interest income and noninterest income, continued favorable asset quality trends and substantial capital growth," noted Ronald D. Paul, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. The Company's earnings have now increased in each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2008. Mr. Paul added, "For the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company continued its trend of achieving growth in both average loans and deposits, maintaining a strong net interest margin, and accomplishing enhanced levels of noninterest revenue, primarily from higher levels of residential mortgage refinancing activity. Additional liquidity was added to the balance sheet in the fourth quarter to address potential risk from expiration of the TAG deposit insurance program and normal year end activity. The Company also maintained favorable operating cost management as measured by both the Efficiency Ratio and the level of Noninterest Expenses to Average Assets. For the fourth quarter of 2012, average loan balances grew 4% as compared to the third quarter of 2012, while average deposit balances were 7% higher. The net interest margin remained strong at 4.31% for the fourth quarter of 2012, in spite of substantially higher balance sheet liquidity. Total revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) was $40.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, 7% higher than the third quarter of 2012 and 27% higher than the same quarter one year ago."
