I remember seeing a post a few years back that recommended sink depth based on your height. Can anyone find it for me? I've had no luck so far. I'm 5'10" and afraid to go with a Silgranit which have deep sinks. Tx! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think more important than your height is how far above the floor your hands are. Standing straight up, I can touch the bottom of my sink. How deep is your current sink? Is it comfortable? Is your current sink overmount or undermount? |
Keep in mind that the same sink in a top-mount version will have a higher bottom, because it sits on top of the counter, than a under-mount version. Managing back and neck trouble also is something to consider, if you have any. |

Rachiele has a height/depth ratio on their site. I'll link below. I am about 5'8" and have a cleanup sink that ended up about 11" deep once it was undermounted in my 4cm stone. It's deep. I wish it was a bit shallower, but Blanco doesn't give you any depth choice in silgranit. I'm happy with my sink and wouldn't make a different decision just because I'd like the sink a bit shallower. If you like sink grids (I don't), using one will effectively make your sink less deep for many tasks. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sink depth/height table
I currently have a 7" sink and am looking forward to installing a silgranit sink (10") with my upcoming renovation. I currently have a single sink and hate having to handwash items in it. If I fill the sink with water, I can only have about 3" of sudsy water in it, which fills up quickly as I have to rinse above the water. I know others just don't use a sink with water in it (only soap and running water) but I don't use this method or like it---it doesn't allow dishes to soak while cleaning. I can put the grid in the silgranit sink to make it not as deep, if desired. I think you need to examine how you use your sink to determine what you need. Good luck! |

Philanthropy's Arrogance and Insularity on Eugenics Offer Cautionary Tale
One sure way to ruffle feathers at the normally staid Council on Foundations—the nation's largest philanthropic membership organization—is to remind it of American philanthropy's neck-deep involvement in eugenics.
Yet now is the time for our foundations not only to acknowledge that involvement but to officially apologize for it as well.
They have shown no sign of doing so, however, nor of appreciating its cautionary tale for contemporary

This is the fifth and final entry in a series examining John McCain's health proposals and how they have been covered in the press. The previous entries can be found here: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV.
The New York Times has been running a fine series called the "Evidence Gap" that, at its core, reveals a key reason why health care in the U.S. costs so much, and why the nation's medical bill of $2.7 trillion is higher than anywhere else in the world. We can't say "no" to new technology. That's partly because of our deeply held cultural belief that the medicine man sits at the right hand of God, and partly because so many players throughout the medical delivery system make a ton of money. The Times series, which has covered heart scanning machines, the cancer drug Avastin, and artificial joints, notes that even though these technologies may not work or deliver much benefit—and may even be harmful—they are still widely used. Someone pays for them, most likely employers, and the costs are eventually reflected in increasingly unaffordable insurance premiums.
John McCain's health proposals ignore our national propensity to demand more of the three Ts—treatments, tests, and technology. Instead they nip around the edges of the country's health care expenditures, which a lot of experts say will continue to soar into the stratosphere. "It would be a mistake to build false expectations about the amount of cost reduction that will take place," says Frank McArdle, who manages the Washington research office for Hewitt Associates, a benefits consulting firm. "There's probably very little if anything that will reduce current health care spending below current levels. At best, we're looking at lowering the future rate of growth."
The health care section of McCain's Web site is peppered with all the latest buzz words. He calls for quality cheaper care for chronic disease, coordinated care, tort reform, greater use of information technology to reduce costs, smoking cessation programs, and allowing cheaper Canadian drugs into the country. While this might sound good to the public—and some things like better care coordination might actually benefit patients—there is no evidence that these reforms will lead to big savings. Writing about numbers is tricky. In today's media climate, where reporters have less time to figure out complicated stuff, it's not surprising the press might believe his claims about cost containment.
A few news outlets have looked at disease management, the current panacea, which runs the gamut from primary care truly integrated into managed care organizations like Kaiser Permanente to ad hoc programs sold to employers by profit-seeking vendors. These programs include patient education, patient self-management, phone calls from nurses, and mailings. Some outlets have examined disease management mostly through the lens of local businesses, and their stories seem more like puffery than objective analysis.
In late July, CNN ran a story profiling a Nebraska company that mandates quarterly check-ups and provides a variety of wellness programs for employees. "The return on investment is extraordinary," says the company president. Or take the story published in June by the Peoria, Illinois Journal Star, featuring wellness programs at two Illinois medical centers. It quotes the executive director of Optimum Health Solutions, a company that sets up wellness programs, saying that, while it might take a number of years to see benefits, numerous studies show that a healthier workforce translates into savings, both for the individual and the company. What studies? What sources? The reporter apparently took Optimum's word, even though plenty of studies, including one from the Congressional Budget Office, question whether disease management will actually result in savings.
Memo to the media: beware of pols pushing disease management as the new savior for health care costs. Their words should ring familiar to those who remember that managed care was supposed to do the same thing over a decade ago. Last year a researcher writing in the Annals of Family Medicine delivered an assessment which should find its way into any story on the subject:
There is no solid evidence yet that commercial for-profit disease management vendors will save money and improve care of chronic illness on a long-term basis. It is much more likely that the current enthusiasm among employers and insurers for outsourced disease management programs will end up as just one more policy failure, undermining primary care and delaying increasingly urgent health care reform.

Had Apprised PM Manmohan Singh about Spectrum Allocation, Raja tells Court
Testifying as a defence witness in the 2G spectrum allocation case, former telecom minister A. Raja told a special court here on Wednesday that after holding a meeting with then external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee and solicitor general G.E. Vahanvati, he "apprised" then prime minister Manmohan Singh about various telecom-related issues, including allocation of 2G spectrum.
"Soon after the meeting (with Mukherjee and Vahanvati), I met the prime minister and apprised him of the happenings and outcome of the aforesaid meeting and I promised and undertook to give a detailed note in this regard," Raja told the court.
Raja told Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge O.P. Saini that in December 2007, he and Vahanvati went to meet Mukherjee and an "extensive discussion" took place between them on various telecom-related issues.
He said he sent a detailed letter Dec 26, 2007 containing issue-based description to Manmohan Singh on the basis of the meeting.
"At the end of the meeting, (then) minister for external affairs (Mukherjee) shared with me that he was going to give a separate note to the prime minister in this regard and further directed me to apprise the prime minister separately," Raja said.
Raja was allowed by the court last month to examine himself by appearing in the witness box so that he can defend himself in the case.
According to the government auditor, Raja was biased while distributing 2G mobile airwaves and operating licences to telecom firms, causing a loss of up to Rs.1.76 lakh crore in revenue to the treasury. All the accused, including Raja, are out on bail.

Sleep Duration and Pediatric Overweight: The Role of Eating Behaviors
This grant examines whether changing sleep duration in school-age children is associated with changes in leptin and ghrelin, the reinforcing value of food and eating and activity behaviors. (1-09-JF-22)

Maternal Smoking, Fetal Behavior and Infant Withdrawal The BAM BAM (Behavior and Mood in Babies and Mothers) Study
Although Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy (MSDP) has been linked to long-term neurobehavioral deficits in older offspring, relatively little attention has focused on the effects of MSDP on neurobehavioral deficits during the fetal and newborn periods. One key unanswered question is whether exposure to prenatal smoking induces neurobehavioral symptoms of withdrawal/abstinence in newborns. In this study, we are characterizing signs of abstinence and neurobehavior in infants and fetuses exposed and unexposed to MSDP. Specifically, the Behavior and Mood in Babies and Mothers (BAM BAM) study is an intensive, short-term, longitudinal study of signs of abstinence and neurobehavior during the fetal and newborn periods in continuously exposed and unexposed offspring. Results may lead to targeted intervention with newborns, education for parents to improve interactions with exposed newborns, and, potentially, early identification of high-risk infants and novel intervention and prevention efforts for pregnant smokers.

Maternal Depression, Placental HPA Regulation and Fetal-Neonatal Stress Response The BAMBI (Behavior and Mood in Mothers, Behavior in Infants) Study
Exposure to maternal depression during pregnancy is common and associated with adverse medical and behavioral outcomes in infants. However, little is known about mechanisms underlying early adverse effects. This information is critical for early identification and intervention efforts with high-risk infants. This study is an intensive, longitudinal investigation of maternal major depressive disorder (MDD), maternal-placental neuroendocrine dysregulation, and fetal/neonatal stress response and neurobehavior. Three groups of mothers and offspring will be identified: a) mothers with MDD during pregnancy (including MDD-only and MDD+anxiety disorder), b) mothers with a history of MDD who remain euthymic during pregnancy, and c) mothers with no history of or current psychiatric disorder (controls).
Neonatal assessment will involve cortisol and behavioral response to a neurobehavioral examination at 1-2 and 30 days; fetal assessment will include heart rate and behavioral response to vibroacoustic stimulus. Measures of maternal-placental neuroendocrine regulation will include maternal circadian cortisol, and expression of placental genes regulating stress response. Results may elucidate early markers of risk and help to delineate early pathways to later behavioral dysregulation. Early identification of high-risk fetuses and infants may also lead to education for parents to improve interactions with stressed newborns, and, potentially, novel therapeutic targets to protect fetuses from consequences of maternal depression.

Maternal Smoking: Fetuses in Withdrawal?
Exposure to maternal smoking during pregnancy is linked to numerous adverse fetal and neonatal health outcomes as well as longer-term neurobehavioral deficits in children and adults. Relatively little attention, however, has focused on effects of maternal smoking on fetal and neonatal neurobehavior. One key unanswered question is whether exposure to maternal cycles of daytime smoking and overnight abstinence results in symptoms of withdrawal/abstinence in the fetus. To examine the possibility of a fetal withdrawal syndrome from exposure to maternal smoking, aims of this study are: a) to characterize differences in fetal behavior including signs of abstinence under conditions of maternal satiation (daytime ad libitim smoking) versus overnight abstinence, b) to characterize links between fetal neurobehavior/withdrawal and newborn neurobehavior/withdrawal and c) to examine the influence of second-hand smoke exposure on fetal and infant neurobehavior/withdrawal (exploratory aim).
Our group has pioneered the use of ultrasound technology to comprehensively evaluate fetal neurobehavior including signs of abstinence. In this study, we apply these techniques to examine the possibility of a fetal withdrawal process in offspring exposed to maternal smoking and second-hand smoke. This study is the first to examine effects of maternal smoking on fetal withdrawal. Results may lead to critical advances in understanding mechanisms underlying long-term effects of maternal smoking exposure. Results also have important clinical and public health implications, including early identification and targeted intervention efforts to protect at-risk offspring, and novel intervention efforts to help pregnant smokers quit.

Stress Response and the Adolescent Transition
Although adolescence represents a critical period of brain plasticity as well as physical and social changes, fundamental knowledge regarding potential developmental shifts in stress response over the adolescent/pubertal transition is lacking. Adolescence also represents a critical period for gender intensification and solidifying of academic and social trajectories for girls and boys. However, basic research examining gender differences in physiological and affective response to academic and social stressors has not been conducted. In this study, we are investigating the influence of pubertal status and gender on physiological (hypothalamic pituitary adrenal and sympathetic adrenal medullary) and affective responses to laboratory stressors (academic and social) over the adolescent transition.
The proposed study will allow fundamental insights into the nature of stress response patterns over the adolescent transition, and will allow discovery of new models for characterizing stress response. Given evidence for continuity of functioning between adolescence and adulthood, elucidating fundamental shifts in stress response across this period of enormous social, academic, and biological change has the potential to identify and improve trajectories of adolescents at risk for poorer functioning. Finally, it is clear that the adolescent/pubertal transition represents a period of heightened vulnerability for girls. An understanding of factors leading to increased vulnerability for girls at this critical period may lead to improved adjustment and acquiring of productive roles that may begin a positive cycle across generations.

In "Creating Home," a Tapestry of Faith program
You can't always look at a group of people and tell if they are a family or not. So, what makes a family? What do families have in common? Some of the answers are on these pieces of paper.
Place a stack of four letters, face down and scrambled, on each of the work surfaces. Tell the children that they will work in smaller groups to unscramble the letters they are given, and that each group has the letters to make a different word.
Form four groups, mixing children who might be stronger spellers with others who may not yet spell or recognize letters. Invite the children to move the letters around until they spell a word for something people do for each other in a family.
To make the task easier, you can tell them the words they are looking for: "care," "feed," "love," and "safe." You may wish to write the words on newsprint and post them as the small groups begin working.
Visit each group and assist as needed. After the letters are unscrambled, ask the children how each of the four words relates to families. Encourage the children to think of examples from the story about Tango, from their own families, or from other families they know.

Home Renters Insurance – Five Tips To Save Money
Looking for home renters insurance? Protecting your personal possessions is a wise idea, taking into account the fact that you are not covered under your landlord's home insurance.
When insurance rates are calculated, the total value of your belongings is taken into account. All valuable items in your home should be listed in an inventory for future reference. Some items increase or decrease in value with time and should be reflected accordingly when your policy is renewed.
The following tips will help you in your search for low cost renters insurance:
1. High deductible – Having higher deductible will lower your insurance premiums. The amount you pay is likely to be reduced by 12% if your deductible is $500. Still, make sure you don't set your deductible to a figure you can't afford to pay in case of emergency.
2. More protection against fire – Insurance companies will give you a better rate if you have safety devices like smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher of even a sprinkler system.. Careful renters are accepted as less of a risk.
3.Increase security – very inexpensive way to increase security is adding features like deadbolts. Other useful devices are burglar alarms and motion sensors. You will pay less for renters insurance and feel safer – killing two birds with one stone
4.Check for discounts – it doesn't hurt to ask. Insurance companies are prepared to give you huge discounts if you go long term or combine insurance policies. In order to win new business many insurance companies offer discounts.
5.Comparing quotes – home renters who want to save on insurance must compare quotes. Its recommended to get quotes from at least three different companies. You can save a lot of time and money by doing it online.
For free quotes and more information, you can check out home renters insurance and cheap renters insurance.

Motivating Math Students
Name: Tahjna Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
How do I motivate students to learn mathematics?
Each class and each student is different, but, in general, I have found that people respond to education if it appeals to an item of interest in the student.
If a class or student is interested in sports, create lesson plans using examples of probability (horse-racing), or averages (baseball statistics)
For a class/student interested in music, cite examples involving meter and time signature (this helps understand fractions)
For a class interested in current news, take a newspaper and discuss cost of living, interest rates, stock prices...
Bottom line, use topics the children can relate to and they will see value in learning the (sometimes ) more boring rudiments of mathematics.
Thanks for using NEWTON!
Ric Rupnik
In my experience, two factors tend to increase students' interest in mathematics.
One is the teachers' enthusiasm and competence. The other, somewhat related to the first, is the presentation of everyday problems in such a way that their solutions necessitate introduction of new topics in math. Indeed, this is the way mathematical concept and techniques have been developed. Throwing mathematical techniques and methodologies at the student and then trying to solve problems using these, in my view, is not productive. Problems should lead to solution techniques and not the other way around.
Additionally, students may better relate to mathematics if the teacher includes some historical information as to when, how, and why a technique was developed. This tends to tie in "conceptual" ideas with the real world people and problems.

There are countless ways...however, I would say the best place to start is by connecting your lessons to their everyday experiences. For example, if you are teaching the "FOIL" method, bring in some aluminum foil as an aid to remembering the formula. Possibly let them make a shape out of the foil -- using geometry...Good Luck
Katie Page
I think it is important to communicate the awesomeness of numbers and mathematics. An accessible subject for doing this, I believe, is number theory. For example, the Fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13... And behold the ratio of the [nth +1] / nth number in the sequence is (1+sqrt(5))/2. And the sequence pops up many places in physics, biology and math! Then there is the little book "On Size and Form" I recall the title is gives numerous illustrations of how "things in nature" are governed by mathematical relations.
In my opinion the more abstract "stuff" can wait.

The Virginia Game and Fisheries department just added this regulation:
Add a new section 4 VAC 15-40-285 to make it illegal to feed or attract deer from September 1 through the first Saturday in January statewide and further make it illegal upon written notification by the Department for any person to continue feeding or attracting deer during this period. I wonder if this applies to growing hosta:) Larry |

Sometimes I harvest enough in a day for a side dish or even a whole meal (especially from my rampant summer squash plants), but other times, the pickins are slim.
Today for instance, only 8 snap beans were ready for harvest on my Maxibel plants, and 3 cherry tomatoes. I could have put them in the fridge and picked more tomorrow, but pshaw! I wanted to eat them today. So I blanched them with a little onion and celery, and marinated them in a touch of apple cider vinegar, olive oil, a dash of sugar and salt. Right before serving them on top of a (storebought) Romaine lettuce salad, I tossed in the cherry tomatoes, halved. It really stretched the tiny harvest. What do you do with small harvests? |

That's about how I do it. I have witnessed the overabundance senario too often, when you have way too much and start foisting veggies on neighbors, friends, the person who happened to be walking by.... That has cured me to the point that I only plant for instant gratification eating. 1 tomato, 1 cucumber, dozen corn stalks grouped together... for two people, it's plenty. |
I generally plant two of everything, for two people and one veggie-loving dog. I plant lots of tomatoes, though, because I'm paranoid about losing some to disease or pests. I made more marinated green beans today with the 10 beans I picked this morning. I've also been using cherry tomatoes on top of sandwiches, skewered with a toothpick. |

Make up a poor man's spaghetti, stir fry the vegetables and put them on top. To make Poor man's spaghetti aka Spaghetti al uovo (sp?), you need to beat one egg for every 100 grams of spaghetti (dry weight) and have some melted butter ready. Immediately after draining the spaghetti, pour the beaten eggs on the pasta and toss it till the egg has coated the spaghetti and cooked on. Pour the melted butter on and serve with grated Romano (fresh, not that horrible dried out stuff they sell on grocery shelves). And of course, top with the veggies. |
Georgiii- this may be a dumb question but why do you "roll" the top lip of the 2L bottle? structural stability? or just so you dont cut your hand on the sharp plastic edges? |

Energy Bars--A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponDecide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal
Whether part of a planned program or eaten on the fly, bars bridge the hunger gap and boost your energy. When you're working on your waistline, today's bars can support your weight-loss efforts, especially when fresh food and refrigeration aren't in easy reach. And when you're in a rush, munching on an energy bar is one of the best stop-gap measures for those sudden "I'm ravenous" moments. Downing a healthy bar can even prevent a "roadside attraction" binge of fries, shakes, or convenience-store goodies like high-calorie, high-fat chips and cookies. In other words, energy bars can be a helpful tool in your diet plan. Put your hunger behind barsFirst, you need to decide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal. "If it's a snack, the bars should have less than 180 calories," advises Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, the national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association in Chicago. "If it's a meal, the bar should be more than 200 calories and needs to be eaten with fruit and vegetables to satisfy you for four or more hours till you eat again." In fact, substituting an energy bar--paired with an apple or veggie salad--for one meal each day can help you lose weight. "By adding fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber and water, you'll feel more full," says Blatner. "This can help accelerate weight loss." If your goal is to drop a few pounds, Blatner says you need to read the nutrient label to make sure your meal-replacing bar contains:
Indulge in your favorite flavorsAs a general rule, look for bars with the least sugar and the most fiber (in other words, "good carbs") or protein (whatever your preference) to avoid the crash that comes from eating bars that are more like candy disguised in "natural" packaging. "After you've read the label, it all boils down to personal preference," says Blatner. Love dried berries? Go for a fruity bar. Granola, nut, or yogurt fan? Store shelves are stocked with bars for every discriminating taste. You can take your pick from grain- or yogurt-based, to nut- or fruit-dense bars. Simply scan the ingredient list for the foods or flavors you fancy and cross-check it with the label's nutrition facts to ensure it fits with your diet goals. Pick the best bar for the jobAs the seemingly endless choices will attest, you can find a bar to fit your evolving healthy lifestyle needs. Lifting weights? Try a high-protein bar favored by weight-trainers to help repair muscle. Love jogging, hiking, and biking? Look for high-carb bars preferred by the distance runners who crave instant energy. If you're interested in eating fewer preservatives and getting the maximum nutrients from the foods you eat, you might like a raw energy bar. The tastes may vary widely but they are typically packed with robust ingredients such as nuts, nectar, berries, and ginger. Enjoy!Nancy Gottesman, a nutrition writer and mother in southern California, admits to needing way more energy than these bars can provide! Copyright 2015 Aisle7. All rights reserved. Aisle7.com |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is JJ!
Facts about JJ
- Breed: Manchester Terrier/Miniature Pinscher Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
JJ's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Other Pets at Red Waggin' Rescue - Connell Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
JJ, a Seattle Manchester Terrier/Miniature Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Manchester Terrier/Miniature Pinscher for sale in Seattle, or seeking a Manchester Terrier/Miniature Pinscher dog from a breeder in Seattle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seattle already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Seattle breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Manchester Terrier/Miniature Pinscher breeders who help with Manchester Terrier/Miniature Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seattle paves the way for another one to be saved.

Torggler calls this system a "flip panel door" (Drehplattentür), and it's almost more of a kinetic sculpture than functional door.
Jeremy Jackson (a.k.a. Tackyshack)'s glowing vistas are saturated with beauty and wonder. Awesome in the traditional, meaningful sense of the word, his recent Fire and Light Masks series–created using the reflections in various bodies of water. Enjoy!
While we've seen examples of objects suspended mid-air using quantum levitation and acoustic levitation, a team of three Japanese engineers from The University of Tokyo and the Nagoya Institute of Technology recently unveiled an ambitious device that uses sound waves to moveobjects through three dimensional space. The machine uses four arrays of speakers to make soundwaves that intersect at a focal point that can be moved up, down, left, and right using external controls. You would think such machine would be extremely loud, but according to one of the engineers the device uses ultrasonic speakers and is almost completely silent. See video below.
Whether you've tried mind-altering substances or not one thing remains true: we all have an idea of what a drug feels like, be it imagined, anecdotal, or from direct exposure. So what might the effect of a drug look like? That was the question asked by artist Sarah Schoenfeld. To answer the question she converted her photography studio into a laboratory and exposed legal and illegal liquid drug mixtures to film negatives. The resulting chemical reactions were then greatly magnified into large prints to form a body of work titled All You Can Feel.

Walking down the street in Linz, Austria, you might not expect to see a giant, glowing Rubik's Cube sitting in your path. But right now, if you're passing by the Ars Electronica building, that's just what you'll see. You may even be handed a small, all-white cube of your own and offered the chance to solve its colorful big brother.
The project is the work of artist and designer Javier Lloret, and it looks like a ton of fun — with a smattering of frustration. After all, playing a Rubik's Cube that is also a building presents a couple of unique challenges, like being unable to see more than two sides of the cube at any one time.
Playing the cube, on the other hand, is entirely organic. However you twist or rotate the little white interface-cube, your movements are mimicked by the building. If you need to see the bottom of the cube, simply flip over the controller. Outfitted with a gyroscope, motion sensors and a Bluetooth link to a nearby laptop, the interface-cube makes the game at once fun and challenging. The best part of the installation just might be that, no matter how good you are at solving these puzzles, the other folks on the street will get one heck of a light show.

As our nation's federal budget deficit is on track to top $1 trillion for a fourth straight year, one can't help but see a direct correlation of government waste and fraud having an impact. Recent scandals in which tax payer dollars have been squandered are examples that may go unnoticed initially, but as our nation moves forward with initiatives of increased audits and acts aimed at preventing government charge card abuse, agencies can expect such instances to be taken more seriously than ever.
Take for instance a recent story in Government Executive magazine referencing Cause of Action, a nonpartisan government accountability overseer group, which has requested 28 federal agencies to take a closer look into their own checkbooks through a filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Agencies such as the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce and Defense would have 20 business days to reply to the FOIA request on similar spending that the GSA made on unapproved awards from January 2009 to present. This would be one recent example on measures to ensure federal spending does not continue to get out of hand.
Moving forward, certain compliance metrics will need to be met by agencies and government contractors to prevent such instances from occurring again. Especially as more stories continue to emerge regarding fraud and abuse.
Currently, agencies are looking to cut card abuse by having access to more lucent details on statements involving government purchase cards. This is one of the reasons why Level-3 Data is a must have in today's government market. Contractors serving federal agencies can help cut card abuse with Level-3 processing; as such data being reported will generate greater purchasing transparency to agencies.
Government Contractors that take proactive steps in becoming Level-3 compliant will show their support for government agencies and taxpayers on reducing waste and fraud involving government purchase cards. Such preventative measures will help agencies move forward in being more efficient at identifying wasteful spending before it gets out of hand.
For recommendations on how we prevent unnecessary stress and nonsense through our proper counsel, take a quick look at our GSA Quality Assurance Program. Contrary to what some may say, becoming Level-3 compliant isn't cumbersome.
For those ready for a free test drive, we've set up a short form to fill out requesting a Free Business Needs Analysis that can help your organization not only become compliant, but also determine areas of maximum savings to be made on interchange fees based on a contractor's average monthly transactions

But not even George is rock-bottom in baseball's world war. The game is now about to be shipped off to the courts and to Capitol Hill--and if that doesn't wring the last ounce of joy from the dying soldier, what will? Ohio's Howard Metzenbaum has retired, but Senators Orrin Hatch, the Republican from Utah, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the Democrat from New York, say they will carry on the effort to finally revoke major-league baseball's antitrust exemption in labor matters. The issue has gone before Congress before, to no avail. But that was before grim lawmakers stuck Yankees caps onto their heads in order to protest salary caps. Before Henry Hyde of Illinois, the new head of the House Judiciary Committee, said he would now change back into Dr. Jekyll: He, too, now opposes the antitrust exemption.
Little matter. The game is a bloody mess. Roger Clemens will some day retake the mound for the Red Sox. Dave Justice will glide back out to right field for the Braves. Andres Galarraga will settle into the batter's box at brand-new Coors Field, that bemused smile on his face once again. But will we give a damn? This most recent stalemate between players and owners suddenly feels as grim and tragic as Verdun--irrational as that seems. Never again will baseball occupy the cherished place in the American imagination that it once held. Never again will we believe. No matter what the loudmouths in Washington proclaim, or how the owners backpedal, or what concessions the players now make, the essential joy of the game is gone.
In this winter of discontent, barely a flicker survives in all the hot-stove league. So be it. Buck up and tune in the smart game. Football.

In "Creating Home," a Tapestry of Faith program
We have to celebrate, because this brother of yours ... he was lost and has been found. — Christian scripture, Luke 15:32
The central story for this session is "The Lost Son," an adaptation of a parable from Christian scripture. Sometimes known as the Prodigal Son, this story tells of a father's love when one son comes home. A parable may teach many lessons as it is read over and over. This session focuses on the feelings and actions of the younger son and the father in the story. How does it feel to be trusted when you leave home? How does it feel to be welcomed home? How does it feel in a family when you know you are loved?
If you are unfamiliar with Christian scripture, this might be a time to increase your knowledge. Present day conservative Christians believe that Biblical texts are literal, inerrant texts written by God. Liberal, main line Christians believe the scriptures are written by humans and inspired by God. This is a huge difference and one to note when teaching with Christian texts.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jabberwocky!
Facts about Jabberwocky
- Breed: Maine Coon
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Jabberwocky's Info...
I am housetrained, good with kids, and good with cats.
Please contact Sandy (email@example.com) for more information about this pet.
Est DOB 7/21/2011, DMH Brown Tabby / Maine Coon mix, soon-to-be neutered male. Jabberwocky will talk your year off ! He loves to roll over and have his tummy rubbed like a puppy dog. He's just too cute and very confident. Get your applications in early as he won't last long :)
For adoption info, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other Pets at Space Coast Feline Network
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jabberwocky, a Cocoa Maine Coon kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maine Coon for sale in Cocoa, or seeking a Maine Coon kitten from a breeder in Cocoa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cocoa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cocoa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Maine Coon breeders who help with Maine Coon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cocoa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Rust Formation
Name: Jane C. Status: educator Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 5/28/2003
Is the formation of rust considered an exothermic or endothermic reaction? Where does the activation energy come from to start the reaction?
With respect to activation energy, all reactions are at least partially endoenergetic. However, rusting (oxidation of iron) is overall very exoenergetic. Even though under normal conditions the oxidation reaction proceeds very slowly, there is sufficient energy to initiate the process at room temperature. Once begun, the process can sustain and slightly accelerate itself by using the heat released from the reaction and that initially available from room-temperature to provide the necessary activation energy.
Have you ever seen the shower of sparks that occur when steel is cut with an oxyacetylene torch? When steel is cut with an oxyacetylene torch, small pre-heat flames emerging from the torch nozzle are used to bring the metal to a high enough temperature that it is able to "burn" in a stream of pure oxygen gas that is delivered to the metal through a center orifice in the torch tip. Once the cut has been initiated, the heat released from this very exoenergetic combustion of iron is sufficient to carry the cutting process even if the pre-heat flames are turned off.
ProfHoff 675
"Rust" is really a family of iron/oxygen compounds with various ratios of: Fe, O, and H (as in water). All the "rusting" reactions are exothermic to the tune of from about -60 to -190 kcal/mol That is they all liberate a substantial amount of heat. In fact one can generalize that for most metals oxidation is exothermic. Now the "activation" energy to which you refer has to do with just how "fast" the reaction occurs. In the case of iron. Do not have the numbers in front of me but from qualitative observation I would expect it is quite small because rust occurs about equally fast at any reasonable temperature interval.

NCTM's Mathematics Education Trust (MET) relies on contributions from Council members and other individuals, Affiliates, and corporations. Gifts to the Edwin I. Stein Fund help support the Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Meeting Attendance Awards, which provide funds of up to $1,200 (and meeting registration) for travel, subsistence expenses, and substitute teacher costs for NCTM members who are classroom mathematics teachers in PreK–grade 12 and have never attended an NCTM annual meeting.
Edwin I. Stein: From Traffic Engineer to Teacher of Mathematics to Accomplished AuthorEdwin I. Stein was born in 1910 and taught mathematics for 25 years at Roosevelt Junior High School and Leeds Junior High School in the Philadelphia School District, Pennsylvania. Stein was an honors graduate of the University of Pennsylvania at the age of 19 and later did graduate work at the Wharton School and the Drexel Institute.
Beginning with Refresher Mathematics in 1943, Stein became a prolific author of mathematics textbooks. His textbooks include the following titles: Refresher Mathematics with Practical Applications, Algebra in Easy Steps, Fundamentals of Mathematics, Refresher Arithmetic with Practical Applications, Arithmetic for College Students, and Basic Mathematics for College Students. It is interesting to note that Stein's first published work, which grew out of his first job as a traffic engineer for the City of Philadelphia, was a study of traffic in Philadelphia during the 1930s: Normal Safe Approach Speeds at Intersections: A Report Presenting, in Form for Practical Use, a Method for Reducing Accidents between Vehicles Approaching Certain Corners with Inadequate Visibility.
In his teaching and writing, Stein devised strategies for teaching grade-school arithmetic that not only taught students to come up with the correct answers, but also showed them, through a series of exercises, how and why the answers were correct. His obituary suggested that he helped "unstump" generations of arithmetic students around the world. Because of his interest in teaching and working with students, it is appropriate that his legacy to the Mathematics Education Trust (MET) supports the Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Meeting Attendance Awards.
Stein died on October 4, 1990, at the age of 80, at Cooper Hospital-University Medical Center in Camden, New Jersey.
The Mathematics Education Trust is interested in learning more about Edwin I. Stein and his work. If you have additional information or photographs, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recent Award RecipientsCongratulations to the teachers listed below. They will be receiving MET funds to travel to the NCTM 2013 Annual Meeting and Exposition in Denver this spring. More than 700 sessions, workshops, and burst presentations await them in the Mile-High City. The following are some of the reasons and goals that they cited in their proposals for wanting to attend this exciting conference.
Math Education Makes the World Go Round … And I Want to Hang On Danielle LeAndra Brown, Colonel Johnston Elementary School, Fort Huachuca, ArizonaMy desire to be a more effective math educator in my rural Arizona school—which serves children of the Armed Forces—has prompted me to apply for this opportunity. The students I serve come from all over the world and have varying experiences with mathematics, which makes it hard to keep up, even at the kindergarten level. I see firsthand how mathematics education is handled state to state and country to country. As a member of the Response to Intervention (RtI) implementation team I feel secure in discussing the literacy needs of students, but can't say the same about mathematics. This opportunity will allow me to see how RtI and math work together, and how I can support the teachers and students I work with. The opportunity to attend this conference will impact students, teachers, and the district. The fear of "falling off" is not as great, knowing that this opportunity is available.
Common Core and Standards-Based Collaboration Opportunity Amy Jean Nicholas, Calhoun Middle High School, Mt. Zion, West VirginiaMy objectives in asking for this award to attend the NCTM Annual Conference are to become more informed on a standards-based Common Core Curriculum, meet other professionals within my field for future networking and collaboration, and bring back resources I can use in the classroom and share with my colleagues.
Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Conference Attendance Award Beth Erica Nickle, McCullough Middle School, New Castle, DelawareI am writing this proposal in order to obtain the NCTM first attendee grant to attend the 2013 NCTM Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado. I am an energetic math teacher of students with learning disabilities in an urban low-income area. I would like to further my teaching best practices through experiencing workshops and seminars that are offered by NCTM.
Fostering Early Numeracy Education Shelly Renae Scheafer, Buckingham Elementary School, Bend, OregonThe objective of this proposal is to acquire and share knowledge regarding early numeracy development, appropriate instruction, and early identification of at-risk students. It is the shared vision of a school community that makes the greatest school impact on student success. After seeing firsthand the results of a focused early literacy emphasis, I plan to be a pivotal player in bringing the same dedication to early numeracy. My plan is twofold: (1) teach classes on fostering the development of early numeracy and (2) help my district move forward with an RtI plan for mathematics. It's not enough for teachers to have great learning activities; teachers need to understand the why behind the activity in order to scaffold instruction to meet the needs of all learners. I believe much can be done in the regular classroom if teachers have the right tools for early identification and instruction.
Digging Deeper with Mathematics Bonnie Jean Schweizer, Alamosa Elementary School, Alamosa, ColoradoAttending the 2013 NCTM Annual Meeting would be a wonderful opportunity for me as we adopt a new curriculum based upon the Common Core Standards. I teach in a rural district in Colorado where budgets are tight and professional development opportunities are limited. Attendance at this conference would be beneficial to all students at my school as I gain a deeper understanding of the Common Core and insight on planning and implementing effective intervention and differentiated lessons. Ultimately my goal is to share knowledge of mathematical thinking and reasoning with all staff. With 27 percent of third-grade, 39 percent of fourth-grade, and 46 percent of fifth-grade students testing below grade level on TCAP, math continues to be the district's greatest area of need. It is critical that learning be shared with staff so student understanding can be deepened and student success can occur at the upper grades.
My Epiphany Suzanne Weider, Seth Paine Elementary School, Lake Zurich, IllinoisI realized that what my struggling first graders needed was not just remediation; they needed a better math teacher. This realization has led me on a journey of introspection and a quest to seek the best ways to build number sense for students who struggle to make sense of the world. Getting a chance to learn from the top math professionals at the NCTM Annual Meeting would help me become that better math teacher my students deserve.
