I applied online – interviewed at FAA.
Interview DetailsGot a interview call from FAA after almost year for applying for this post. Interview was pretty straight forward. No tricky questions, all behavioral type of questions. Interview was one hour long. I was told to hear back from them in around 30 days if i get selected.
Interview Questions- nothing unexpected all pretty common questions Answer Question
No OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview - Interview Details
Very arbitrary hiring process. Sometimes they will hire off the street. Other times they will require a degree in air traffic control from one of their designated colleges. If you do get placed on the hiring list, you might have to wait a very long time. Last time I checked, they weren't letting you pick a geographical area.
Interview Questions- Are you willing to work a 24/7 schedule? View Answer
Accepted OfferNeutral Experience - Application Details
I applied through college or university – interviewed at FAA.
Interview DetailsVery difficult. You go through a series of 3 interviews. It's almost like its for a real job, but it's only temporary. It's also a panel interview so it can be very intimidating. Since it's a government job, I can understand why they took this approach.
Interview Questions- Do you know about aviation? Answer Question
Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview - Application Details
I applied in-person. The process took 6+ months – interviewed at FAA.
Interview DetailsThe interview process includes a psychiatric questionnaire, a drug test and a background check. All of this takes an inordinate amount of time. The interview itself is conducted by the local air traffic manager and isn't extremely important to the hiring process. It does help you get a feel for the job and the expectations if you are hired.
Interview Questions- The actual interview isn't difficult nor is it really as important as passing the AT-SAT exam and making the hiring list. It's more of a formality. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsThere is no negotiations involved. If you're lucky enough to be offered a position, you will be told where you are going to work and expected to pay your own move to that location.Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online – interviewed at FAA.
Interview DetailsThis Interview Process was pretty standard. I applied online and heard back a few weeks after. We set up a phone interview which lasted about 45-60 minutes. The structure was basic; they asked typical behavioral questions. After this, the interviewer and I kept in touch as they were going through the decision making process.
Interview Questions- The questions weren't all that difficult. An example would be: Explain a time where you lead a team of more than 10 people. Answer Question
Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview - Application Details
I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at FAA.
Interview Detailsask questions about c sharp, n-tier. 2 people interview you. Then they call you 3-4 weeks later to let you know you got the job. They are not in any hurry. Trust me.
Negotiation Detailsno negotionaationsAccepted OfferPositive Experience - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 6+ months – interviewed at FAA in June 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied through the UNH career board. Interviewed with two different engineers, they read their questions off prepared sheets and took notes. The questions were general engineer interview questions, how do you solve problems, tell me about project work, how do you work in a team. They said at the end of the interview they would contact me regardless of whether I would get an offer or not, but they unsurprisingly never followed through. It went very well but I never even got an email.
Interview Questions- How do you work in a team? Answer Question
No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at FAA.
Interview DetailsStandard interview with an open format to describe technical details. They can only ask what is already listed on the job description.
Interview Questions- Open ended so they basically just listen, hard to determine where you should go with an answer. Answer Question

I applied through college or university – interviewed at FAA.
Interview DetailsI was interviewing for a summer internship position (which eventually turned into a full-time permanent position). The interview was over the phone and I was asked very standard questions like "What's your background" and "What's your biggest weakness."
Interview Questions- Honestly, I can't say that any of the questions were difficult or unexpected. It was also an entry-level internship, so I didn't expect it to be too difficult. Answer Question

I applied in-person. The process took 6+ months – interviewed at FAA.
Interview DetailsCollege in an approved aviation program. Interview, security and medical clearance. Training and simulation at FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, OK. OJT at assigned facility.
Interview Questions- You have to be able to watch a horrific crash and then continue working, because if you work in a tower long enough you will experience this. No one can take your place when this happens. If you can't do this you should consider another career. View Answer

learn more about these ratings here. To get different results, you can start over or revise your search.
Brooks Addiction 11
There's no mistaking the Addiction's purpose: It's a big shoe that offers gobs of motion-control features and a surprisingly soft ride.
Price: $120
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 14
Longtime GTS wearers tell us the 14 stays true to its heritage. It boasts all the trappings of a traditional stability model, but the ride remains as smooth as ever.
Price: $120
Adidas Adistar Boost 2
The heel height bothered one minimalist-minded tester, but all felt that the Boost material provided smooth heel-to-toe transition and superior cushioning and energy return.
Price: $150
New Balance 1260v2
While not pillowy soft, the updated 1260 still offers enough cushioning to work for runners who require some stability. The V2 comes in an ounce lighter than the first version, even with such motion-controlling devices as a crash pad in the heel, a shank in the midfoot, and a medial post that runs through the arch.
Bottom Line: A sturdy shoe that still feels fast and light.
Price: $145
Adidas Adistar Boost
This Adistar mixes the new Boost material with traditional, firmer foam on the inner edge of the shoe for extra stability.
Price: $170
Adidas Supernova Glide 5
A durable training shoe that's as well suited for high mileage as for easy recovery runs.
Price: $115
Mizuno Wave Enigma 2
The sophomore effort of the Enigma is nearly an ounce lighter than the first version (which weighed 12.1 ounces for a men's size 9) and is considerably more flexible. Testers noted the shoe still feels stiff, likely due to a plastic midsole plate that extends the length of the shoe. This does, however, aid in a smooth heel-to-toe transition.
Bottom Line: A daily trainer for intermediate runners with flat arches.
Price: $135
Adidas Supernova Sequence 6
As a moderate-support shoe, the Sequence in its sixth round was deemed well-suited for all-around training by most testers, given its comfort, stability and cushioning.
Price: $120
Mizuno Wave Alchemy 12
The Alchemy is all about stability. Two plastic plates help protect the foot by slowing its inward roll and absorbing impact. Sandwiched between layers of midsole foam, the plates soften what you feel underfoot. Even so, it is the firmest traditional shoe in this guide–leading some wear-testers to feel a "breaking-in" period was necessary.
Bottom Line: A protective trainer for larger or injury-prone runners.
Price: $115

Get distinction in all the Super Sports Cop Events |
There are 5 Enforcer Events In the Super Sports Pack. These events are a little harder than the ones in the main game. Just keep practicing and test short cuts to see how well they work for you. The Rapid Response event "Duty Calls" is the only real hard event for the Enforcer. You will need to take some shortcuts but not all of them. Some of the shortcuts are too complex to be of any help. If you hit more than one thing, I would suggest restarting the event. I hit 1 wall and got a 2 second penalty and made it with half a second to spare. |

That's odd. It missed the last bit of the post. Maybe the software got bored with all the words.
Anyway, here's what was missing:
It means establishing the plant's requirements and watering - approximately the same amount - accordingly.
My plants, in the ground, in (obviously) the same weather conditions as Ettore's plant, are watered every four or five days, very very very deeply, driving the roots down deep into the soil for their moisture, away from the heat of the surface soil. And they love it.
Sorry about writing a book.
sotongeoff wrote (see)
Why are you watering them so much-this is the problem-there is a tomato expert on this forum-italiophile-who constantly says they need tough love to grow properly. Easeback on the watering-let them dry out-remove some of the yellowing leaves -only a few -not all and they will be fine Just not so much water.

Just not so much water.
Geoff is right. The biggest mistake you can make with toms is watering by rote - automatically, regardless of conditions. The rule of thumb is simple: water toms when they need it. When do they need it? When the mix - in the case of containers - dries out. You can let the mix dry out. It will not hurt the plant. Leaving the mix dry for a week obviously will hurt the plant but over a day it won't.
There's a myth that toms are delicate plants. They're not. By nature, historically, genetically, they're tough, robust individuals that will survive in adverse conditions. Watering a tom in a container once a day - let alone twice a day - amounts to overwatering. Here's a case in point -
Every year I give our (now) 8 year-old neighbour, Ettore, a tom in a pot. He loves gardening, he watches me from his window in my orto (vegie garden) and, one day, wants to help me. His care for the tom amounts to counting the fruit. His mum, Paola, does all the work. This year it's a Camp Joy (aka Chadwick's Cherry) cherry in a relatively small container.
Now, they have no garden at all. The plant lives outside their front door. It gets about 6 hours a day of full sun. And the temperatures have been in the mid-30s for the last month. Paola waters her window boxes every day. I've had almost to break one of her arms to stop her watering the tom every day. Even 6 hours a day of direct mid-30s sun doesn't completely dry out the mix in a day.
She asked me why the leaves were yellowing. I told her the roots were constantly damp. She was over-watering. I told her that toms aren't flowers in a window box. They're a different beast with different requirements. I got her to stick a finger deep down into the mix. Sure enough, deep down, where the roots are, the mix was damp.
Finally, I've got her watering every second day. The yellow leaves are disappearing and the plant is starting to fruit.
Many of the problems that arise for the home tomato grower come about when the plants' natural sturdiness is overwhelmed by pampering - over-watering and over-feeding. Pampering a tomato plant doesn't strengthen it. It weakens it. An over-watered and over-fed plant is more vulnerable to disease and other problems.
In simple terms, producing fruit is a plant's means of reproducing itself. Tomatoes will feel more inclined to reproduce themselves if they feel ever so slightly threatened. It's their inbuilt survival mechanism. That's what you need to exploit to maximise production. Call it what you like - tough love, controlled neglect - but it's the exact opposite of pampering.
As lilylouise rightly says above, irregular watering is thought to be one of the factors contributing to Blossom End Rot - no one actually knows for sure - so the watering pattern needs to be regular. That doesn't have to mean every day. It means establishing the plant's requirements and watering - app
I'd plant into normal compost and fertilise separately. Bearing in mind that (a) toms don't like overly rich soil; and (b) don't need a lot of fertiliser. It's a common tendency to pamper tomatoes with lots of water and fertiliser. In fact, they will perform better - produce more fruit - if made to struggle a bit. "Tough love" is the go. Fertilise when the first fruit appears, then - if the roots are confined, as in pots, etc - no more than once a month afterwards. Mine, in the ground, are fed a couple of weeks after planting out, again when the first fruit sets, then only once more later in the season.
Sounds like too much water to me. It would need to be pretty warm for toms in the ground to need water every two days. Heck, it's in the high 30s here, the toms are in full sun, and I don't water mine more than once a week. But very very deeply when I do water.
Agree. Unfertilised - or not completely fertilised - fruit will wither and die.
Or cold shoulders, if they're of the sweet - rather than hot - variety.
Could be. If it is, that makes removing them even more difficult without disturbing the surrounding plants.
Might be an idea to feel down into the soil around the roots of the interloper. It will reveal what's underneath.
Well, they love the heat until it comes to setting fruit. That's the only real issue with heat. Humidity, too, for that matter.
I'd work very carefully if it is rocket. Mature rocket can form a sort of tap root and yanking it unceremoniously might disturb any young beetroots.

CNN spokeswoman Shimrit Sheetrit said Thursday that a parcel containing a note, a DVD and a bullet hole-riddled memento were sent by Christopher Dorner and addressed to Cooper's office.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith says LAPD robbery-homicide detectives will inspect the package for clues.
The package arrived Feb. 1, days before the first two killings Dorner is accused of.
It contained a note on it that read, in part, "I never lied."
Dorner was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements.
A coin typically given out as a souvenir by the police chief was also in the package, and riddled with bullet holes.

ABSTRACT: In a quest for thermoelectric polymeric materials novel polycarbazole and polyindolocarbazole derivatives were synthesized. Alkyl side chains on the carbazole cycle and different side chains (alkyl or benzoyl) on the nitrogen atom of the backbone unit were introduced. Optical, electrochemical, electrical, and thermoelectric properties were investigated on these polymers and on two poly(diindolocarbazole)s. Band structure calculations were used to predict which polymers might be promising as thermoelectric materials. The best combination of Seebeck coefficient and conductivity (power factor) was around 10-7 W m-1 K-2 with copolymers comprising thiophene units alternating with carbazole or indolocarbazole. This family of polymers possesses good Seebeck coefficients, but there is still a need to improve the electrical conductivity, to produce useful thermoelectric materials.Chemistry of Materials 03/2007; · 8.54 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: The magnetic and conductive properties of a series of quinoidal oligothiophenes, that is, bis-(dicyanomethylene)oligothiophenes (TnCN4, n) 2-4), have been investigated in the solid state and (for magnetic analysis) in solution, and the results have been compared with those from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Solution electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of radical cations and anions are characterized by hyperfine structures due to coupling with nitrogen and thiophene hydrogen atoms. Neutral solutions are ESR active, indicating a significant presence of diradical species with no hyperfine structure. ESR spectra of powder samples at room temperature give a concentration of radical species up to 1 mol % (T3CN4), that is, 0.5% of the compound exists in a diradical state. The percentage decreases dramatically from T3CN4 to T2CN4, as a result of the decreased number of aromatic rings. The diradical concentration increases with temperature according to activation energies which are higher for the shorter members and in very good agreement with DFT calculations. Tetrahexyl-substituted T4CN4 is redox conducting at the neutral-polaron mixed oxidation level with a maximum conductivity of 0.03 S cm -1 , about two orders of magnitude higher in comparison with an aromatic tetrahexyl-substituted octathiophene. - Advanced Functional Materials 01/2006; 16(4):531 - 536. · 10.44 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Self-assembly (SA) of polyviologens with linear alkyl spacers PVn (n=3–10) on sulfonate-primed gold and ITO electrode surfaces has been investigated by CV, QCM, XPS and AFM. The polymers form stable and relatively dense monolayers even from 10−4M PVn concentration. The viologen surface density is decreased as n is increased but for n=10 and on alkylsulfonate-primed surfaces a strong adsorption takes place, with decreased redox potential and very narrow cyclic voltammogram of the absorbed layer due to organized structures on the surface.Stable and regular electrostatically self-assembled (ESA) multilayers are built on sulfonate-primed surfaces with PV3 and polysulfonates. From XPS analysis, the composition of the PVn/polysulfonate multilayers corresponds to a 1:1 ratio of polyanion and polycation charges, i.e., no extra non-polymeric ion is present, independently from the alkane chain length. The rate of electron transfer within the multilayers (diffusion coefficient=ca. 10−9cm2s−1) is higher than for analogous bulk materials.Journal of electroanalytical chemistry 07/2005; 580(2):330-339. · 2.87 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Thin polyterthiophene films and oligothiophene-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on indium tin oxide (ITO) and gold electrodes have been coupled with different pyrrole- and thiophene-based monomers (heterocoupling). Since the corresponding homopolymers are soluble in the electrochemical medium, only the surface-coupled polymer remains on the electrode and is detected. The method when applied to monolayers allows the formation of nanometer-size layers of polyconjugated polymers with nominally normal orientation of the chain to the surface. Thin films and SAMs were characterized before and after coupling by cyclic voltammetry, UV−vis and IR reflection absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Microcontact printing on gold and ITO surfaces resulted in patterns for which atomic force microscopy evidenced strong height enhancement after heterocoupling.Chemistry of Materials - CHEM MATER. 06/2005; 17(14). - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Polythiophene regular copolymers bearing amino or nitro moieties directly linked to the conjugated backbone are produced by anodic coupling of 3′,4′-diamino- or 3′,4′-dinitro-terthiophenes. The polymers are characterized by cyclic voltammetry, FTIR reflection–absorption and UV–vis spectroscopy and in situ conductivity. Post-polymerization functionalization of polymer films leads to the quantitative transformation of the diamine to pyrazine and of the dinitro to diamine and subsequently pyrazine moieties. Conjugation of starting and ending functionalizations with the polythiophene backbone produces dramatic changes in electronic (electrochemical and optical) properties.Electrochimica Acta. 02/2005; 50(s 7–8):1469–1474. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The electrochemical oxidative polymerization of 3-methylthiophene (3MT) on platinum electrodes is favoured by the presence of previously deposited polyterthiophene (PTT) films. Cyclic voltammetry CV and single sweep voltammetry SSV were used to investigate the electrocatalytic process. The CV rate of polymer growth and the SSV electrocatalytic current increase linearly with the amount of predeposited PTT. The results rule out the previously invoked electrocatalytic promotion of 3MT polymerization by terthiophene radical cations in solution. SSV analysis with other thiophene-based polymer films (e.g. 3- and 3,4-alkylsubstituted polythiophenes) and with other thiophene-based monomers (e.g. 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) has shown that the electrocatalytic effect is of a general nature. The formation of a charge transfer complex between the thiophene-based monomer and the oxidized thiophene-based polymer is invoked to account for the catalytic action. The results account for the previous large and unexplained body of experimental evidence of electrocatalytic effects in the electro oxidative synthesis of conducting polymers.Journal of electroanalytical chemistry 02/2005; 575(2):169-175. · 2.87 Impact Factor - Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics 09/2004; 205(15):2026 - 2031. · 2.45 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Some C2v symmetric cyclopenta[2,1-b;3,4-b′]bithiophenes differently substituted at the 4 position with a calix[4]arene group were synthesized and electrochemically polymerized by anodic coupling. The polymers were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis and FTIR spectroscopy. Quartz crystal microbalance analysis showed strong affinity and selectivity of the polymers for toluene and acetone from the gas phase. The absorption process associated with the calix unit was satisfactorily described through a Langmuir isotherm, while a very small linear contribution was given by the polythiophene backbone. The absorption capacity of these materials was found to be higher by a magnitude of three orders than those displayed by cyclopentabithiophene-based polymers devoid of the calix unit, thus supplying strong, though indirect, proof of the role played by the calix units in the absorption process.Journal of Materials Chemistry 06/2004; 14(12):1804-1811. · 6.63 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Anodic coupling of 4,4-bis-butanesulfonate cyclopentadithiophene occurs in acetonitrile after the addition of 1:1 HClO4 to yield water-soluble polyanionic poly(1). 4,4-Bis-hexyltrimethylammonium cyclopentadithiophene is polymerized in acetonitrile to acetonitrile-soluble polycationic poly(2) which is converted to the water-soluble hydroxide form by anion exchange. These novel water-soluble polythiophenes, characterized by a rigid-rod symmetrical shape of the chain, display a high conjugation length (λmax = 560−575 nm) and a good solubility in water (>10 gL-1). MALDI and UV−vis spectroscopy assign these polymers a degree of polymerization of 5−6. The polymers form stable monolayers (storing a redox charge of 10 μC cm-2) on ITO/glass and gold electrodes. Subsequent electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) of poly(1) and poly(2), both between them and each with a non-electroactive polycation or polyanion, proceeds with a linear growth rate monitored by cyclic voltammetry (10 μC cm-2 bilayer-1) and UV−vis spectroscopy. No effect of ionic strength was observed in contrast with ESA of conventional polyionic polymers. IRRAS and XRD analysis of the multilayers agree with a regular disposition of the polythiophene chains in the layers.Chemistry of Materials 05/2004; 16(11). · 8.54 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The in situ conductivity vs p-doping charge of low-defect polypyrroles, N-substituted polypyrroles, and polythiophenes has been investigated in acetonitrile in the presence of the weakly coordinating perchlorate ion as supporting electrolyte. In-situ ESR and EQCM measurements have given supporting information on polymer structure and conduction carriers. The structures of the polymers cover a wide range of conjugative, geometrical, and solvation conditions, but the conductive pattern follows simply the polymer ring type (pyrrole, N-substituted pyrrole, or thiophene). In polythiophenes an initial region of low conductivity, due to strongly spin-dimerized polarons, is followed by an increase of conduction to a plateau of high conductivity. N-substituted polypyrroles display a linear increase of conductivity with charge followed by a plateau of conductivity. Polypyrroles without N-substitution show an increase of conductivity to a maximum followed by a symmetrical decrease to zero at a charge corresponding to one bipolaron per tetrapyrrole unit. A redox-type bipolaron model of conduction, based on stabilization of the bipolaron positive charge by H-bonding with the counteranion, is suggested. The parent polypyrrole shows the uncomplicated conductivity pattern (increase of conductivity to a plateau) due to a uniquely strong stabilization of the π-stacked polymer chains.Chemistry of Materials - CHEM MATER. 10/2003; 15(24). - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hexylferrocene phosphonic acid was adsorbed on indium−tin oxide (ITO) and amino-primed ITO electrodes from ethanol. The obtained monolayers are stable in acetonitrile where cyclic voltammetry shows the formation of domains of self-interacting and free ferrocene molecules. Distinct phases are observed on bare ITO, whereas a single Frumkin isotherm is obtained on amino-primed ITO. Dilution experiments with alkylphosphonic acids CnH2n+1PO(OH)2 (n = 3, 6, and 12) have shown that only the dodecyl chain may compete with the hexylferrocene chain, which remains 50 times more strongly bound to the surface. The free energy of self-interaction of the ferrocene moieties in the layers is ca. 40 kJ mol-1; that is, it is equivalent to that of a 15 carbon atom alkyl chain. Lateral interactions among hexylferrocene and dodecyl chains form isolated domains of the components, ruling out a real dilution of ferrocenes to single isolated molecules.Langmuir. 09/2003; 19(22). - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Electrochemically prepared poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS), produced from acidic (PSSH) and basic (PSSNa) PSS, was characterized by cyclic voltammetry CV, UV−vis spectroscopy, in situ conductivity, and XPS spectroscopy and was compared with electrochemically prepared PEDT/tosylate and chemically prepared PEDT/PSS. CV analysis shows that the polymer synthesis is strongly affected by the nucleophilic character of the counteranion. Although CV and UV−vis spectroscopy show that the structure and degree of polymerization (oligomeric, ca. 10 EDT units) of the PEDT backbone is the same for all polymers, XPS is able to explain the different conductivity values for these materials (ranging from 1 S cm-1 for PEDT/PSSNa to 400−450 S cm-1 for PEDT/tosylate) based on doping level and composition. In particular, critical results are observed to be the ratios between sulfonate and thiophene units in the polymers: the higher the PEDT concentration, the higher the conductivity. XPS also explains by solvent-induced nanometer-scale segregation between PEDT/PSS and excess PSS particles the often reported conductivity enhancement of chemically prepared PEDT/PSS upon treatment with polar solvents.Macromolecules 05/2003; 36(9):3337-3344. · 5.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dichloromethane-soluble poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)s modified with oligoethylene oxide chains of different lengths (PEDT−EO and PEDT−PEO) were produced by anodic coupling. PEDT−EO solutions were used to produce mono- and multilayer films on ITO−glass electrodes and float glass sheets. Layer-by-layer alternation of doped PEDT−EO with poly(p-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) or doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) sulfonate produced electroactive and robust multilayered surfaces with low surface resistivity (5 × 105 Ω/□ for a PEDT−EO/PSS 10-bilayer). Analogous multilayers could be built from doped PEDT−EO and polyammonium polycations. Doped PEDT−EO forms with PSS the first reported electrostatically bound polyionic multilayers in which the positive charge is delocalized over a polythiophene backbone.Chemistry of Materials - CHEM MATER. 04/2003; 15(11).

The Way Forward on Holding the Bush/Cheney Administration Accountable for its Crimes
By Dave Lindorff
As someone who has spent nearly three frustrating years actively advocating the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for their many crimes and abuses of power, I have to admit that not only did it not happen, but that the likelihood of their being indicted and brought to trial now that they have left office is exceedingly slim.
Rep. John Conyers: Why We Have To Look Back
Rep. John Conyers: Why We Have To Look Back | John Conyers' blog
This week, I released "Reining in the Imperial Presidency," a 486-page report detailing the abuses and excesses of the Bush administration and recommending steps to address them. Arthur Schlesinger Jr. popularized the term "imperial presidency" in the 1970s to describe an executive who had assumed more power than the Constitution allows and circumvented the checks and balances fundamental to our three-branch system of government. Until recently, the Nixon administration seemed to represent a singular embodiment of the idea. Unfortunately, it is clear that the threat of the imperial presidency lives on and, indeed, reached new heights under George W. Bush.
Mohammed Jawad and Obama's Efforts to Suspend Military Commissions
Mohammed Jawad and Obama's efforts to suspend military commissions
By Glenn Greenwald | Salon.com
This is a very good and important step -- not only because of its substance, but also because it was something Obama did almost immediately, even before his first full day in office:
In one of its first actions, the Obama administration instructed military prosecutors late Tuesday to seek a 120-day suspension of legal proceedings involving detainees at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- a clear break with the approach of the outgoing Bush administration. . . .
Such a request may not be automatically granted by military judges, and not all defense attorneys may agree to such a suspension. But the move is a first step toward closing a detention facility and system of military trials that became a worldwide symbol of the Bush administration's war on terrorism and its unyielding attitude toward foreign and domestic critics. . . .
The motion prompted a clear sense of disappointment among some of the military officials here who had tried to make a success of the system, despite charges that the military tribunals were a legal netherworld. Military prosecutors and other commission officials here were told not to speak to the news media, according to a Pentagon official.
"It's over; I don't want to say any more," said one official involved in the process.

Muhammad Saad Iqbal is a free man after serving more than six years at the U.S. military's detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — without any charge.
Now, Iqbal is suing the U.S. government for unlawful detention.
"I am angry in my heart," Iqbal said in a recent interview. "It's easy for the U.S. government to say, 'There are no charges found and he's free.' "But who will be responsible for seven years of my life?"
His attorney in Washington, D.C., is suing the U.S. government, on behalf of Iqbal, through the federal court system.

Official: UN may prosecute Bush administration, regardless of US action
By David Edwards | Raw Story
The UN's special torture rapporteur called on the US Tuesday to pursue former president George W. Bush and defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld for torture and bad treatment of Guantanamo prisoners.
"Judicially speaking, the United States has a clear obligation" to bring proceedings against Bush and Rumsfeld, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak said, in remarks to be broadcast on Germany's ZDF television Tuesday evening.
He noted Washington had ratified the UN convention on torture which required "all means, particularly penal law" to be used to bring proceedings against those violating it.
WASHINGTON, January 22—Today, Witness Against Torture — the organization that first marched to Guantanamo in 2005 to protest the prison there — applauds President Barack Obama's executive orders to shut down Guantanamo and the CIA "black sites," and to end the "enhanced interrogation techniques" used by the CIA at Guantanamo and other prisons. According to the Guantanamo order, "The detention facilities at Guantanamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than one year from the date of this order."

CCR Praises Obama Orders, Cautions Against Escape Hatch for Torture
January 22, 2009, New York – In response to President Obama's signing of new executive orders today, the Center for Constitutional Rights issued the following statement:
We welcome the beginning of the end of lawlessness. Under the previous administration, executive orders became synonymous with secrecy, torture and attempts to override the Constitution. It is genuinely uplifting to see them now used to set things right. President Obama's orders today are an important first step in restoring the rule of law; let us take the next steps with great care not to open the way for a return to the darkness of these last years.

President Obama signed executive orders Thursday directing the Central Intelligence Agency to shut what remains of its network of secret prisons and ordering the closing of the Guantánamo detention camp within a year, government officials said.
The orders, which are the first steps in undoing detention policies of former President George W. Bush, rewrite American rules for the detention of terrorism suspects. They require an immediate review of the 245 detainees still held at the naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to determine if they should be transferred, released or prosecuted.
Top UN Official Calls for Indictment of Bush and Rumsfeld
Top UN official calls for indictment of Bush and Rumsfeld
The incoming American President Barack Obama is legally obligated to prosecute Bush and Rumsfeld because the US has ratified the UN Convention on Torture and has also recognized it as legally binding, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak said.
The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak urged the indictment of outgoing US President George W. Bush and his former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld for their role in the torture and abuse of prisoners in the Guantanamo prison camp.
"The evidence is on the table," Nowak told German television Tuesday.
He held Bush and Rumsfeld responsible for the brutal interrogation methods and the inhuman treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo.
"One should not quibble, it was torture," Nowak stressed.
A new home for fired U.S. prosecutor David Iglesias: JAG at Gitmo
David Iglesias has been vindicated, well, to some extent.
The former U.S. prosecutor from New Mexico, one of the U.S. attorneys fired supposedly for non-political reasons, has a new job: Navy JAG. Specifically, Igelsias is working as a Judge Advocate General for the cases in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
As for Igleias, he seems very happy with the change: "It is the most significant set of orders I've had in my 24 years of Navy service," said Iglesias to KRQE-TV, Albuquerque.
But the Obama Administration gets a clearly qualified individual to do an unthankable task in a difficult situation, and gets to hold his hiring up to the Bush Administration, and essentially say, "He's a good employee; you shouldn't say otherwise."
Obama to sign order shutting Gitmo in a year
By LARA JAKES and DAVID ESPO, AP
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order Thursday to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center within a year and halt military trials of terror suspects held there, a senior administration official said. The executive order was one of three expected imminently on how to interrogate and prosecute al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign fighters believed to threaten the United States.
The official said the president would sign the order Thursday, fulfilling his campaign promise to shut down a facility that critics around the world say violates domestic and international detainee rights. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the event has not yet been announced.
Guantanamo Trial of Canadian Halted
Guantanamo trial of Canadian halted
By Jane Sutton | Yahoo!News
Hours after taking office, U.S. President Barack Obama ordered military prosecutors in the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals to ask for a 120-day halt in all pending cases and a judge granted the request on Wednesday in the case against a young Canadian.
When defense lawyers did not oppose the move, a judge froze the proceedings against Canadian Omar Khadr, who was captured at age 15 and is accused of murdering a U.S. soldier with a grenade during a firefight in Afghanistan.
Another judge was expected to rule as early as Wednesday in the death penalty case against five prisoners accused of plotting the September 11 hijacked plane attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Bush Era Ends With Guantánamo Trial Chief's Torture Confession
Bush Era Ends With Guantánamo Trial Chief's Torture Confession

Forget the outgoing President's lame, reality-defying farewell speech, and Dick Cheney's last-ditch attempts to claim that the administration in which he served as Vice President never engaged in torture. The Bush era came to an end last Wednesday when, in one short interview, Susan J. Crawford, the senior Pentagon official overseeing the Military Commissions at Guantánamo — the novel system of trials for terror suspects that was conceived in the wake of the 9/11 attacks — condemned the Bush administration's "War on Terror" detention policies, and paved the way for criminal proceedings against senior administration officials, more acutely than anyone had managed before her.
Day 9 – Fast For Justice
January 19, 2009, Washington, DC
As we continue to try and make visible the men who are in Guantanamo, over 110 people from around the country will end the nine-day Fast for Justice, and Witness Against Torture will begin the 100 Days Campaign. Those who have come to DC to participate in the fast will gather in McPherson Square at 7am today, share a simple meal, and then head into the inauguration crowds with our jumpsuits, hoods, leaflets and signs.
On Sunday, eight of us in DC joined the throngs of people going to the Inaugural concert on the Mall. Rather than sporting Obama tee shirts, flags and posters, seven of us wore orange jumpsuits and black hoods and one wore a "Shut Guantanamo" tee shirt. The reception from the celebratory crowd was quite positive, and one of the photos from our presence ended up on an AP article about Guantanamo: http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2009/01/19-7

Day 7 – Fast For Justice (100Days Campaign)
January 17, 2009
Washington, DC
Hello all-
As we end day 7 of our fast, we have heard from others around the country who have been joining us for a day, for a few days, or for the duration. There is a great spirit here amongst the fasters in DC, and we have managed to be a noticeable presence around the city, something we hope to continue as the fast nears its end and the 100 Days Campaign begins.
Our daily vigil the last two days took us from DuPont Circle to the White House. For video of today's presence, click here: http://www.100dayscampaign.org/node/231

Obama and Congress Must Act to Restore the Constitution
By Dave Lindorff
The calls for a reckoning for the criminals of the Bush/Cheney administration are growing by the day, as the final few days of the Bush presidency tick down, and as new evidence of their crimes keep pouring out of the deflating gas bag that was the Bush White House.
For years, the Democrats in Congress, with a few notable exceptions, have sat on their hands, allowing the ongoing destruction of the Constitution, of the US military, of the nation's reputation, and of the rule of law, as well as of the institution of Congress itself, by a cabal of Republicans in the White House, led by Vice President Dick Cheney, who have sought to establish an executive-led government that answered only to itself.
What's Hayden Hidin'?
By Ray McGovern
Outgoing CIA Director Michael Hayden is going around town telling folks he has warned President-elect Barack Obama "personally and forcefully" that if Obama authorizes an investigation into controversial activities like water boarding, "no one in Langley will ever take a risk again."
Upon learning this from what we former intelligence officers used to call an "A-1 source" (completely reliable with excellent access to the information), the thought that came to me in the face of such chutzpah was from Cicero's livid oration against the Roman usurper Cataline: "Quousque, tandem, abutere, Catalina, patientia nostra!" — or "How long, at last, O Cataline, will you abuse our patience!"
Tortured 9/11 Suspect May Never Be Prosecuted: Pentagon Official
Tortured 9/11 suspect may never be prosecuted: Pentagon official | Google News
The United States may never be able to prosecute an alleged plotter of the September 11, 2001 attacks because he was tortured, a top Pentagon official said in an interview.
Susan Crawford, who is charged with deciding whether to bring Guantanamo detainees to trial, told The Washington Post that US interrogators had tortured Saudi terror suspect Mohammed al-Qahtani.
"We tortured Qahtani," she said, thus becoming the first senior Bush administration official to publicly state that a detainee was tortured.
Bush Administration Official: "We Tortured."
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Two months ago we denied the presidency to a man who, for a few votes, forsook a long opposition to torture and pledged his America would continue the barbarity. This month we evict from the White House its resident torturer. These are victories worth celebrating, but they are tempered by having elevated to the White House, as we learn weekly that we have, another torturer.
Detainee Tortured, Says U.S. Official
Trial Overseer Cites 'Abusive' Methods Against 9/11 Suspect
By Bob Woodward, Washington Post
The top Bush administration official in charge of deciding whether to bring Guantanamo Bay detainees to trial has concluded that the U.S. military tortured a Saudi national who allegedly planned to participate in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, interrogating him with techniques that included sustained isolation, sleep deprivation, nudity and prolonged exposure to cold, leaving him in a "life-threatening condition."
"We tortured [Mohammed al-]Qahtani," said Susan J. Crawford, in her first interview since being named convening authority of military commissions by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates in February 2007. "His treatment met the legal definition of torture. And that's why I did not refer the case" for prosecution.
Nine-day fast to close Guantanamo reaches 100, while 42 detainees hunger strike
Witness Against Torture, a grassroots group dedicated to closing Guantanamo and ending torture, is heartened by the announcement from unnamed members of Barack Obama's transition team that the new President will sign an executive order to close Guantanamo on January 21st, his first full day in office.
But members of the group, which marked the seventh anniversary of the Guantanamo prison with a demonstration on Sunday, January 11th , are alarmed that carrying out this order is likely to be a year-long process, or longer. "Guantanamo must be closed not just on paper, but in reality. And for the 250 men still there, it has already been seven years too long," remarks Frida Berrigan, an organizer with Witness Against Torture.
Day 3 of the Fast for Justice...
Washington, DC. January 13th, 2009
By Matthew W. Daloisio
With news breaking of a possible executive order coming from President Obama on January 21st to close Guantanamo, 30 fasters met @ 7am this morning for reflection, which began with a poem written from the Guantanamo Prison. While some have insisted that the work is now done, Guantanamo will be closed in one years, we are trying to ask ourselves how it must feel to be one of the 250 men still in prison, learning of at least another year behind bars. While we are heartened by potential early steps towards Guantanamo's closure, our work is far from done.
Our vigil today was a procession in jumpsuits and hoods from DuPont
Circle to the Obama transition Headquarters
(http://100dayscampaign.org/photos) and we heard from a reporter later in the day, that the motorcade we saw (and that saw us) was in fact, Obama's.

A Brooklyn College Grad Experiences the Constitution in a Cage
Torture in Manhattan for 28-year-old Muslim American Sayed Fahad Hashmi
By Nat Hentoff, Village Voice
For the past year, a 28-year-old Muslim American student, Sayed Fahad Hashmi—the first person extradited to the United States from Britain to face charges of terrorism—has been held at the Manhattan Correctional Center under conditions of confinement that are the very definition of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment."

The majority of NHS Direct centres could be closed, Unison have claimed.
The union said that the closure of 24 of the 30 sites would cause thousands of staff to be made redundant, whilst the Department of Health responded by saying it had only announced which sites would remain open to carry the new NHS 111 Service and not what would happen to others.
The Shadow Health minister, Jamie Reed, claims the news shows the Prime Minister had "clearly got his NHS priorities all wrong".

559 productions was started way back in the old west by a young man named Andrew Wolfe, he lived in a quaint little village just 20 miles south of what is now San Fransisco. His dad is papa shred who was a part time steel worker and a full time rodeo clown. But little Andrew was a smart little effer and was always getting into all sorts of buisnass. He was the one who captured the very first rainbow on canvas but his parents disowned him because his dads motto was "ain't no kid of mine gunna be a raging homosexual". So he packed his bags and moved to France (cause thats where the gays are). He found a nice home and there he went back to work inventing and creating. After many years of trying and failing he met up with prolly one of the coolest kids on the planet, Jake Gerst, and there Andrew started filming, shredding, and editing. He wanted a way to share these sacred medeoker videos so he started searching That is where he founded 559 productions and that started there quest.

« Theory and Evidence | Law of Equivalent Toddler Badness » |
In this, the 200th anniversary year of the birth of Charles Darwin, some people feel obliged to weigh in on the subjects of Darwin, or evolution, or what have you, and show themselves to be right twits in the process.
Take a look at Christopher Booker's article for the Spectator (or even his more recent article for the Telegraph).
I don't know what the phenomenon is... people who are not creationists on the face of it but who seem enthralled by thoughts of conspiracy; enjoy feelings of superiority as they imagine scientists bumbling around like Clouseau?
Let's see what Mr. Booker has in store for us:
Having decoded the genome which we imagined might help to explain, inter alia, why we are different from monkeys, mice and sea urchins, we make the startling discovery that genetically we are all but identical. So what is it that determines that much the same genetic coding can produce such an infinite variety of life forms? Clearly there is some other hugely important factor at work here, some 'formative impulse' which science has not yet begun to comprehend.
Whatever "all but identical" means to him seems to merely be inverted to "there isn't enough difference for science to explain". Science clearly can't figure it out, as far as he can tell, so what should we do? Insert the supernatural! Sure, it may not be God of the Gaps, but as Woo of the Gaps, it will have to do.
He also appears to be a dualist like James Le Fanu, whose book he reviews. Dualism, in short, is the belief that there has to be something else on top of, or helping, or interacting with the material brain; that the brain itself is insufficient. Dualism has not had much success in modern science, but it's the perfect spot for Woo of the Gaps to be inserted into every partial or missing answer in neurology.
The greatest stumbling block to this argument was that evolution has repeatedly taken place in leaps forward so sudden and so complex that they could not possibly have been accounted for by the gradual process he suggested — the 'Cambrian explosion' of new life forms, the complexities of the eye, the post-Cretaceous explosion of mammals.
Whether he knows it or not, these are right out of the Creationist playbook. The Cambrian Explosion, the complexity of the eye, and the 'explosion' of mammals took its sweet time. The same arguments that creationists use to say "oh, that was really fast - there wasn't enough time for evolution, was there?" (whilst being blind to the mutation rates housecat to jaguar in 6,000 years would entail) play right into the Woo Forces of Nature "something had to help it along" fan club.
So what gives Mr. Booker that extra boost to Full Member in Good Standing of the Twit Club? Combining all of the above with seething arrogance... and projecting it on the scientific establishment:
Blinkered in their vision, armoured in the certainty that they have all the answers when they so obviously don't, neo-Darwinians such as Richard Dawkins rest their beliefs just as much on an unscientific leap of faith as the 'Creationists' they so fanatically affect to despise.
As for Le Fanu, whose book he is reviewing, I cannot say - he sounds, from quotes and subject material, not to mention being taken in by Wakefield and his MMR/autism hoax only to issue a notpology in 2007, like a somewhat muddled thinker. In the words of Connery as Quatermain, "I'm waiting to be impressed"

Best & Worst Dressed: 2011 SAG Awards
MEH: Dianna Agron black and blue gown almost ended up on the Best Dressed list but her harsh eye make-up and stuffy hairdo ruined the sexy frock. January 30, 2011.
Source: Getty Images
she looks good, not pefect like always but i like it its not my favorite look for her but still looking hot love DA.
Holy crap! who did her make-up? She really does look like a drag queen made her up. She is so pretty, can't believe that someone didn't give her some feedback before she went out the door. I think without the nightmare makeup, that she could have gotten away with the hairdo and the dress....definitely not her best look.

Research Goes to School Virual Field Trip
December 20, 2012
The Discovery Learning Research Center has developed the means of carrying your research into K-12 classrooms via live webstreaming. Through the magic of technology, you can interact in real-time with students, sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge with aspiring researchers. From your campus work areas, you can connect with students all over the world, increasing interest and creating realistic perceptions of researchers in the minds of students. Participants can ask questions during the webstream and you will be able to directly answer during the broadcast.
These Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) can be recorded and housed on StemEdhub.org and the DLRC webpage for future access by students. By providing ongoing connection to students, you are increasing the impact of your work on society – an important aspect in funded research.
In our work to transform STEM education, we repeatedly hear the desire from K-12 teachers to connect researchers with their students. Field trips and visiting scientist programs are costly and involved. With current budget constraints in public education, educators are looking for alternative ways to provide authentic, exciting experiences for their students. DLRC's Virtual Field Trips provide a very viable alternative.
You can view a sample of the Virtual Field Trip at this site. Dr. Nate Mosier, Ag and Biological Engineering, shares information about scientific instrumentation and his work on the C3Bio project with middle and high school age students.

In the 1870s, Eadweard Muybridge, using brand new photographic techniques, helped settle a bet about whether horses lifted all their feet off the ground at once. His iconic pictures of horses in motion are frequently used in arts and crafts. (Aside: we even ran into them at Maker Faire in a FlipBooKit animation.)
Amanda found a file on thingiverse of outlines of the Muybridge horses that were intended for use for laser cutting (for animation purposes). She remixed it for use with the Eggbot to make the horses go around the egg and published her Muybridge Carousel design on thingiverse.
Last year we released a set of six equation-heavy "Download and Print" cards for Valentine's day. This year, we're doubling the size of the collection (to twelve!) by adding six more cards, this time heavy in symbols, not equations:
"You turn me on" …with an SPST switch.
"I can hardly resist you."
There is room for a future superconductivity joke here, involving a phrase like "I can't resist you (below a certain temperature)."
You can download the full set — including the 2013 cards — here, a 500 kB pdf document.
As with last year's set, print them out on (or otherwise affix to) card stock, and [some steps omitted] enjoy the resulting lifelong romance.
As part of the documentation for the WaterColorBot project, we've put together a compendium of information about commonly available watercolor paint palette sets. For each of the sets, we've tested to see how well they work in the WaterColorBot— in terms of physical size, color order, paint quality, brush quality, and so forth.

Ann posted instructions in our forums for creating an electric kistka (wax pen) for the Eggbot for traditional Pysanky egg dying techniques. She used nichrome wire, krylon tape, a modified kistka, and a 2xAA battery holder with a switch and described how to mount it in the Eggbot. She posted a couple of designs to Thingiverse demonstrating the technique including the rose design pictured above.
For a Humpty Dumpty design, she wrote up how she made it:
Using eggbot and custom electric kistka, plotted the Humpty Dumpty picture and text on an egg. First plotted outline, dyed brick, colored in bricks by hand with kistka, dyed blue.

He completed a Pharmacy Practice Residency at the University of Arizona/University Medical Center in 1996.

Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MDJay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ibandronate tablets also should be swallowed whole with six to eight ounces of plain water while in an upright position, in order to be certain that the tablets enter the stomach. If the tablets stick in the esophagus they can irritate the esophagus. For the same reason, patients should not lie down for 60 minutes after taking ibandronate since tablets are more likely to stick in the esophagus when lying down. Tablets should not be chewed or sucked in order to avoid irritation of the mouth and throat. The dose of ibandronate administered intravenously is 3 mg administered over 15-30 seconds every three months. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Calcium supplements, antacids, and other products that contain aluminum, magnesium, or iron may reduce absorption of ibandronate. Ibandronate should be administered at least 60 minutes before administration of any oral medication, including medications containing iron, aluminum, magnesium, or calcium. Patients should wait at least 60 minutes after taking ibandronate before taking other oral medications. The occurrence of irritation in the stomach and intestines may increase if aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (for example, Motrin, Aleve) are combined with ibandronate. PREGNANCY: Bisphosphonates have been shown to cause fetal harm in animals, but there are no data on risk to the fetus in humans. Ibandronate should be used during pregnancy only if the physician feels that its potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. NURSING MOTHERS: Ibandronate is secreted into the breast milk of animals. It is not known whether it is secreted into human breast milk. Since most medications do appear in human breast milk, it is generally recommended that caution be exercised when ibandronate is given to women who are nursing. SIDE EFFECTS: Some of the more common side effects of ibandronate include headache, back pain, pain in the legs or arms, abdominal pain, nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, and high blood pressure. Low calcium levels may occur if calcium and vitamin D intake is not adequate. Severe irritation of the esophagus (for example, esophagitis, esophageal ulcers, esophageal erosions) can occur. This occurs more often when patients do not drink enough water with ibandronate, wait less than 60 minutes before lying down after taking ibandronate, or continue to take ibandronate after developing symptoms of esophageal irritation. Ibandronate should not be used by individuals with abnormalities of the esophagus. Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
