Application ID: 12665
A Gaussian electromagnetic wave is incident on a dense array of very thin wires (or rods). The distance between the rods and, thus, also the rod diameter is much smaller than the wavelength. Under these circumstances, the rod array does not function as a diffraction grating (see the Plasmonic Wire Grating model). Instead, the rod array behaves as if it was a continuous metal sheet for light polarized along the rods, whereas for light polarized perpendicular to the rods, the array is almost transparent to the electromagnetic wave. However, for the latter case dipole coupling between the rods occurs, thereby coupling electromagnetic excitation between the rods also outside of the illuminated region.

Vibrational Analysis using Wavelet Techniques coupled with Wing Structural Modeling of the Pathfinder Plus
C. Smith, and C.M. AkujuobiCenter of Excellence for Communication Systems Technology Research, Texas
The motivation for this work is to explore the combination of a multiphysics COMSOL model of the wing of the Pathfinder Plus research aircraft with a wavelet-based vibration detection scheme.
COMSOL Multiphysics is utilized to model the physics of the aerodynamics that produce vibration in the wing structure of the Pathfinder Plus. Next, three Daubechies wavelets are used to detect the vibration signal of the wing based on the signal's frequency spectra.

Modeling Remote H2 Plasma in a Semiconductor Processing Tool
J. BrckaTEL Technology Center, America, LLC
Hydrogen plasma is typically used in the semiconductor industry for materials processing, surface preparation and cleaning of silicon wafers and thin films.
In this contribution, we developed a 2D/3D plasma fluid model as described by the set of the species and energy balance equations in a generic semiconductor tool chamber with remote Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) source.
Background H2 gas flow is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for low speed isothermal flow, and where the plasma composition is described by the multiple diffusion and convection application modes. The electrostatics mode for electric potential distribution was involved into coupling scheme to satisfy a plasma quasi-neutrality condition, and to couple E r field to an ambipolar diffusion coefficient.

Chickenpox is a virus that spreads easily to others. It creates a widespread, itchy rash. The infection can also cause serious complications in some people.
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It spreads from person to person via:
- Airborne droplets of moisture containing the VZV virus
- Direct contact with fluid from a chickenpox or zoster rash
It is contagious 1-2 days before the rash erupts. It remains contagious until all of the blisters have crusted. This takes 5 days. It is most contagious just after the rash has broken out.
A pregnant mother can transmit the virus to a fetus.
Risk Factors
Chickenpox is more common in children under 3 years old, with peak incidence between 5-9 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of chickenpox include:
- Close contact with an infected person, unless you have been vaccinated or have already had chickenpox
- Conditions or medications that suppress your immune system— cancer , HIV infection, an organ transplant, or high-dose steroid use
- Pregnancy
- Time of year—late winter, early spring
Symptoms break out about 10-21 days after contact. They are more severe in adults than they are in children.
Initial symptoms include:
- Mild headache
- Moderate fever
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Severe itch
- Lack of appetite
- General feeling of discomfort
- Some children complain of abdominal pain
The rash appears within 1-2 days after the first symptoms. The rash:
Begins with small, flat, red spots:
- Spots become raised and form a round, intensely itchy, fluid-filled blister
- Blisters develop in clusters, with new clusters forming over 5-6 days
- Usually develops into patches on the skin above the waist, including the scalp
- May also appear on the eyelids, in the mouth, upper airway, voice box, or on the genitals
- Typically crusts over by day six or seven and disappears within three weeks
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Diagnosis is usually based on the rash and your age. Blood and lab tests to identify the virus are rarely needed.
Chickenpox is mild in most people. It will naturally run its course. In these cases, treatment focuses on relieving the symptoms.
To Reduce Itching
- Apply wet compresses to the skin
- Apply over-the-counter anti-itch creams or lotions
- Take oatmeal baths
- Take an oral antihistamine
Note : Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Antibiotics cannot cure infections caused by a virus. They may be given if the rash becomes infected with bacteria.
Antiviral Medication
The course, severity, and duration of the infection may be reduced by antiviral medications.
They are often used in:
- Adolescents, adults, and individuals with weak immune systems
- Individuals with chronic skin or lung diseases and those taking aspirin or steroids
Special Needs
Varicella-zoster immune globulin is often given immediately after exposure. It is reserved for newborns and people with weak immune systems.
Avoid contact with anyone who has chickenpox. Contact people you may have exposed the virus to. This is very important if you have not been vaccinated against the infection.
Vaccination in Children
The varicella vaccine , or a combination vaccine called MMRV, is recommended for most children. MMRV protects against measles , mumps , rubella , and varicella.
There is a catch-up schedule if your child has missed the routine injections.
Vaccination in Adults
Adults who have never had chickenpox or received the varicella vaccine should be vaccinated.
Vaccination After Exposure
If you or your child has not been vaccinated, but are exposed to chickenpox, a vaccine given right away may help lessen the severity of the infection, or prevent the infection.
If you or your child has not been vaccinated, but are exposed to chickenpox, a vaccine given right away may help lessen the severity of the infection, or prevent the infection.

The Nationals have signed veteran right-hander Chad Gaudin to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Gaudin, who will be 28 on Opening Day, has pitched for six major-league clubs in eight years, most recently the Yankees. He went 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 30 relief appearances for New York this season; he did not pitch in the postseason.
He has experience out of the rotation as well, starting 75 big-league games in his career, including 34 in 2007 with the Athletics (when he won 11 games).
For his entire career, Gaudin owns a 35-39 record and 4.61 ERA with the Devil Rays, Blue Jays, A's, Cubs, Padres and Yankees.
- Anonymous - Dec 17, 2010 at 5:35 PM
consider this an extra arm and viable only in Emergency situations. Like if the entire bullpen gets food poisoning or stuck in NoVA traffic. Not a solid option, but prob worth a look.

By my count about one for every three of your ridiculous complaints
- Steve M. - Dec 17, 2010 at 6:14 PM
Gaudin is a good reliever when he keeps the ball down in the zone. A low risk pickup but I didn't think the Nats needed any more RH relievers.
- autobits - Dec 17, 2010 at 6:21 PM
Probably a candidate to fill the Miguel Batista role for this season.

Mark, some are saying Gaudin will compete as a starter. Is that correct?
- DC Tom - Dec 17, 2010 at 7:01 PM
True or false: Chad Gaudin will start more games for the Nats in 2011 than Donovan McNabb started for the Redskins in 2010.
- DFL - Dec 17, 2010 at 7:10 PM
False, DC Tom. However, JD Martin, Colin Balester, Matt Chico, Shairon Martis, Jason Marquis, John Lannan, Jordan Zimmerman, Garrett Mock, Craig Stammen and Chuck James will likely start more games than Rex Grossman.
- JaneB - Dec 17, 2010 at 7:21 PM
Why can't Miquel Batista fill the Miquel Batista role this year? He was pretty reliable last year.
- JD - Dec 17, 2010 at 7:32 PM
JaneB, I agree; I think Gaudin is more of a candidate to start, he has a pretty good track record from his days in San Diego and Oakland but he got buried in NY; since this also happened to Vazquez and Pavano I would take that with a grain of salt. He is better than Stammen, Martin, Atilano et al.
- Anonymous - Dec 17, 2010 at 7:33 PM
Agree about Batista. Plus he's a quality veteran to have sitting in the bullpen with the kids.
- Will - Dec 17, 2010 at 7:34 PM
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nats sign Batista to a minor league deal, but there's no reason to guarantee him a roster spot.Last season, he was very lucky to come away with the success he did. His BABIP, which measures how often balls hit into play fell for a hit, was .258 last year, much less than his career average in .300. This means, he was pretty lucky in recording outs. On average, batters should have expected to get a dozen or so more hits against him. Furthermore, his left on base percentage was one of the highest of his career at 77%. This means 77% of all batters that reached base did not end up scoring. In a normal year, it would have been closer to 69%. That's another dozen or so runners that should have scored.Couple his luck with his awful strikeout to walk ratio (he strikes out 6 batters per 9 innings and walks 4.25 per 9 innings), Batista shouldn't be expected to reproduce the numbers he put up last year.I'm not against giving him a chance next year, but Rizzo is smart to pick up alternatives.
- Anonymous - Dec 17, 2010 at 8:27 PM
ESPN seems to think the A's might just surprise people next year after 81 wins last year. Their very young rotation and now the Hammer? Everyone is complaining about Rizzo and the Lerners. Look at this payroll? … they have money to spend: With both Ben Sheets' and Eric Chavez's exorbitant salaries no longer on the A's books, general manager Billy Beane has a plethora of financial flexibility. Oakland currently has just $29.64 million committed for 2011, and while that will go up once all the arbitration cases are settled, the Opening Day payroll will be south of $50 million. For 2012, there's just $8.54 million committed. In other words, if the A's need to take on salary to trade for a player who will put them over the top, they are in great position to do so.Its not about money its about prospects (esp. starting pitching) coming through as they did for the A's. Message to Zimmermann, Detwiler, Mock, Solis, etc. Stop underachieving will ya?Must be Insider to view:http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/hotstove10/insider/columns/story?columnist=meyers_matt&id=5919920
- DC Tom - Dec 17, 2010 at 8:36 PM
Miguel Batista is 39, Gaudin is 28. That explains a lot. And scouts obviously see the faint glimmer of something serviceable in Gaudin, or he would not keep getting chances.Also, don't discount the possibility that some other team may make Batista a better offer than the Nats.
- Harper_ROY_2012 - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:04 PM
I like this signing. Gaudin could start or relieve, sort of a Chuck James but one I would not mind seeing on the mound at Nats Park.
- Betsy - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:33 PM
All right, I'm intrigued by what the Nats are doing in the offseason…but can I please change the subject?Do we know who is going to broadcast the games this year? Please tell me I am not going to have to turn down the sound again this season…
- sec 3, my sofa - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:42 PM
"Couple his luck with his awful strikeout to walk ratio (he strikes out 6 batters per 9 innings and walks 4.25 per 9 innings), Batista shouldn't be expected to reproduce the numbers he put up last year."I understand the logic, and mostly agree in this case, but it does seem a shame to punish the guy for doing a good job. Just sayin.
- HHover - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:46 PM
What amuses me is how close Gaudin's #s are to another pitcher whom Rizzo reportedly covets.Gaudin: 4.61 ERA1.5 WHIP4.2 BB/97 K/9661 IPEdwin Jackson:4.62 ERA1.48 WHIP3.9 BB/96.7 K/9879 IPLooks to me like Rizzo just *got* Edwin Jackson, but at the Chad Gaudin price–which seems about the right price.
- Will - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:50 PM
But had Chad Gaudin ever pitched a no hitter??!But in all seriousness, the similarities between the two pitchers are striking, especially when I realized Gaudin is only 6 months older than Jackson.
- Tim - Dec 17, 2010 at 9:52 PM
Any chance Henry Rodriguez gets a chance to start for the nats? He was a starter at one time for As but I guess they moved him to the pen, given our needs it woudl seem to make sense to see if he can handle starting.
- JD - Dec 17, 2010 at 10:53 PM
Tim, He moved to the pen because his secondary pitches (slider, changeup) are below par and he can't throw them for strikes. He can come in and blow people away with 99 mph fast ball but you can only do this for an inning or two at a time. I can see him beeing effective following Lannan or Livo to the mound.
- sec3 - Dec 17, 2010 at 11:17 PM
Ray King used to describe his job as getting an out and getting off the mound before they caught on.
- Will - Dec 18, 2010 at 12:16 AM
Rodriguez has Daniel Bard written all over him. He's a little more erratic, but they both have wicked fastballs (Rodriguez's is certainly faster- he hit 103 in a game last year!).If he can control the pitch better then he's an ideal closer, if not, he's a good set-up man for Storen.
- Mark - Dec 18, 2010 at 12:34 AM
Sec3, love the Ray King reference!

http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101217&content_id=16338822Ladson says the Nats are going after Derrek Lee. Wouldn't think a RH 1st baseman coming off of an injury would now be the main target over LaRoche.
- BinM - Dec 18, 2010 at 1:53 AM
@HHover: Nice observation! Short of the no-hitter, they're reasonably close to being the same pitcher statistically. Gaudin is a good two-way insurance policy in SYR – He comes into camp as a NRI to challenge the 'swing pitchers' (Stammen, Chico, Mock, Martis, etc.). If he earns a 25-man slot to open the season, some of the holdovers get released / DFA'd; That's just the way it works.
- BinM - Dec 18, 2010 at 2:06 AM
@Anon8: Sadly, that would fit with the overall 'game-plan' since Rizzo took charge. Focus on a player coming off an injury / 'off' year, who will look for less than market-value on a short-term deal. Not quite 'dumpster-diving' in this case, but I'd rather see a LH-hitter with 20-HR potential somewhere in the lineup to offset the current RH-skewed lineup.
- Mark - Dec 18, 2010 at 2:27 AM
You would think go with the younger safer pick with LaRoche then the 35 year old Lee. Can't imagine the money being much different and getting a lefty would be nice.Rizzo must think Lee will be the Lee of 2009.
- sec3 - Dec 18, 2010 at 2:53 AM
*than*And hearing 2 yrs for Lee
- Ernie - Dec 18, 2010 at 3:26 AM
@Mark and Anon8:I don't particularly care who we sign for 1B at this point (I haven't read a strong case for any particular player, and they all seem relatively fungible to me so far), but I see the Lee talk as an effort to pressure LaRoche to sign for whatever offer Rizzo has on the table. The Nats' obvious need for a LH 1B would give LaRoche a lot of leverage in whatever negotiations are happening. He knows the Nats need exactly what he has to offer. My totally uninformed and ignorant take on this is that Rizzo is trying to signal that they have other options, in an effort to regain some sort of strength in the LaRoche negotiations. I saw in particular that Ladson's sources noted not only the interest in Lee but the lack of discussions with LaRoche. If it's strategic leaking, that point might focus the pressure on LaRoche a little more. No guarantee that this kind of approach would work, but I could see that being a likely tactic. (Or is that all too transparent?)At times I think Rizzo's praise of Desmond is a similar tactic to inflate his value in any potential trade. But maybe I'm just thinking optimistically there.

Ernie – Interesting take on the 1B situation. I've felt that Rizzo's trade of Willingham signaled that he felt very confident about signing LaRoche. Still feel that way.HHover – nice observation of Gaudin / Jackson. Gaudin does have some potential. It's one of the few bennies of having a rotation in disarray. Gaudin will sign a minor league deal with us knowing he has a legit shot at the rotation.

St. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)—The Tampa Bay Rays moved to bolster a depleted bullpen, agreeing to a $925,000, one-year contract with free agent reliever Joel Peralta(notes).The 34-year-old right-hander went 1-0 with a 2.02 ERA in 39 appearances for the Washington Nationals last season.
- BinM - Dec 18, 2010 at 3:43 PM
@Sunderland: Looking at Peralta's career numbers, I can't help thinking that he had a career year in WSH at the age of 34. Happy he got the contract with TB, but also glad Rizzo wasn't swayed by last year.

Great word art.
I really really really wish this was a t-shirt. I would get it in a heart beat!
It would be a little difficult with the way I did the layers and the shape of it I'm not sure if redbubble will let me place him right but I'll tell you what, as soon as I can I shall try and make the design into a t-shirt for you :)
– andersaur
That makes sense- well if you can just let me know:)
hello! I love this poster! Is there a reason it only comes in size small? Would love it in a larger size.
Hi There! Unfortunately, I made this particular poster first, and I didn't think about all the size regulations and such when I did – so I didn't think to make it in any larger size than that! I am planning to make another set for Series 3 quotes and such, which I will definitely make in the correct size like the others!
If I can I'll definitely try to make this one bigger!

No freeze on wind projects, but greater voice for townsBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | April 24,2013MONTPELIER — Opponents of mountaintop wind power development won't get the three-year moratorium they sought at the outset of the 2013 legislative session.
But advocates of the temporary ban say a compromise package being voted out of a House committee this week could at least bring more scrutiny of the regulatory process that governs ridgeline wind projects.
The movement to impose a moratorium on utility-scale wind projects lost steam almost immediately this year. Even in the Senate, where skepticism of the technology is more concentrated, proponents of the temporary ban could muster only enough support for a bill that called on state agencies to study its impacts on public health and the environment.
House lawmakers have since watered the bill down even further, eliminating the study in favor of a series of off-session meetings between the House and Senate committees on natural resources.
But Sen. Robert Hartwell, a Bennington County Democrat and lead sponsor of the original moratorium language, said he believes those summer hearings will yield legislation next year that will amplify citizens' voices in the regulatory process.
"I think it's an interesting process (the House) is proposing, and I think we should take advantage of it," Hartwell said Tuesday.
Rep. Tony Klein, an East Montpelier Democrat and chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources and Energy, was among the most strident opponents of the wind moratorium, saying it would undo a movement in Vermont aimed at building in-state renewable energy capacity.
He said even the study proposal that came out of the Senate was unnecessary, given the reams of data the state has already commissioned.
"Since 1998, we've had 29 studies, reports, commissions, et cetera, that have looked at anything and everything you could think of when it comes to wind siting in this state," Klein said. "We weren't really happy about doing another one, because it's timely, it's costly, and frankly we don't need it."
But Klein said some of the arguments made by Hartwell and others about problems with the regulatory process are valid. Specifically, Klein said, he agrees that citizens should have more opportunity to register their concerns, and that the regulatory process should pay greater heed to town and regional planning codes.
"As far as making the Public Service Board process much more accessible by the average Vermonter, there's nothing wrong with that ...," Klein said. "I think making it so the PSB has to give more consideration to regional plans and town plans is also not inappropriate."
Klein said the six hearings called for in the bill being voted out of his committee will provide a chance to draft legislation for 2014 that will deliver those changes.
Matt Levin, outreach and policy director for Vermonters for a Clean Environment, which had lobbied for the moratorium, said the hearings are a positive step.
"It indicates that the issues are getting more of a hearing than they ever have, have a sense of legitimacy that they haven't had in the past, and that there is a path forward for the conversation to continue," Levin said. "And those are all very good things."
Levin and Hartwell said they will likely push for additional changes when the House and Senate meet next week to iron out a final compromise.
"But to the extent that these hearings provide a mechanism to figure out solutions to what now is not a very democratic process, then I think it's a good thing," Hartwell said.
Not everyone is happy with the House proposal. Sen. Peter Galbraith, a Windham County Democrat and moratorium supporter, said Klein's committee has "completely eviscerated" the Senate bill.
He said he has little faith that summer legislative hearings would resolve the issues his original bill sought to address.
"And now we have yet another summer study committee," Galbraith said. "Getting to know members of each others' committees better sounds like a lovely idea, but I'm not sure I would ask the taxpayers of Vermont to pay for it."

Pre-Game "Shouting Bobcats" Team photo
I joined Special Olympics Unified Sports Basketball this past winter and had an absolute blast. I have worked and volunteered for Special Olympics over the past 10 years. I have prepped athletes for big and small events, with the press, for fundraising purposes. Athletes helped me with complex projects – fundraising, IT, and board training. We've visited members of Congress, and the athlete led the conversation. I have been incredibly inspired working with athletes from all over the world and seeing the varied skills and talents in the office. But what has been so much fun about the team I played on recently has been that it's not work, it's play. It's fun. And this "don't-reward-yourself-with-fun-kind-of-New-England-puritan" re-discovered the joy of sport 25 years after high school. I re-discovered quickly bonding with teammates, sharing the fun, responsibility and experience of competitions. Eye contact, passing the ball, hustling, high-fiving, coaching each other, giving it your all --together. Sharing a bad ref call, going nuts at the buzzer, rallying around your teammate at the foul line, cheering when your teammate steals the ball and fast breaks for a lay-up. No emails, no memos, no meetings, no conference calls. It's learning what to do through playing together. On our team, all the labels were ripped off. Everyone's disabilities disappeared. Measure my self-esteem before and after the 8 weeks? It was up! My basketball skills before and after – they improved, too. And if someone had asked my family and employer about how I was doing socially, physically, mentally, they all would have reported: She's really happy! So, for those work-a-holics out there who don't have time to get into shape or who don't feel satisfied with going to the gym, or don't have a lot of time to make friends or want to join a sports team but are afraid ….I suggest you try Special Olympics Unified Sports….and have fun. The risk is you might feel fantastic.

text: The Redwood County Big Buddies program will host the second annual Wii Olympics Fundraiser on Sunday, March 25, from 1-5 p.m. at the Redwood Area Community Center. Last year, 12 teams competed in the first annual Wii Olympics fundraiser for the Redwood County Big Buddies program. Those 12 teams raised almost $3,500 to help Big Buddies pay for mentor training, background checks, and activities with local kids. "The money all stays local,"?said organizer Leslie Myrom. This year, Myrom is hoping for even more teams, and even more fun. The five-person teams are urged to find sponsors to pledge funds for the organization, which pairs kids in need of a good mentor with adults with time to make a difference in childrens' lives. The teams use Wii games — donated by a local business, played on TV sets also donated by another local business — to simulate a variety of games. Events this year include archery, basketball, bowling, golf, and table tennis. According to Myrom, the youngest player last year was four years old, while the oldest was in her 60s. "We had one couple that had never played Wii, but after the Olympics they went out and bought one. They've been practicing all year, and gotten quite good." The winning three teams will receive etched glass medals donated by Deano Hartwig of Morton. For more information, call Leslie at 507-530-1202.

you are correct, so lets stop debating and discussing football alltogether.
The point I am making is stop bitching and acting like you know more than Rivera and the coaching staff who are the guys making the decisions because you don't. You can discuss what you want but don't expect anyone to actually think you know something. You are a name calling fan, nothing more.

stations that play only music you like
Jimmy Buffett
Signing to ABC-Dunhill Record (later absorbed by MCA), Buffett achieved notoriety but not much else with his second (released) album, White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean (1973), which featured a song called "Why Don't We Get Drunk" ("...and screw?" goes the chorus). Buffett revealed a more thoughtful side on Living and Dying in 3/4 Time (1974), with its song of marital separation "Come Monday," his first singles-chart entry. But it took the Top Ten song "Margaritaville" and the album in which it was featured, 1977's Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, to capture Buffett's tropical world view and, for a while, turn him into a pop star.
By the start of the '80s, Buffett's yearly albums had stopped going gold, and he briefly tried the country market again. But by the middle of the decade, it was his yearly summer tours that were filling his bank account, as a steadily growing core of Sun Belt fans he dubbed "Parrotheads" made his concerts into Mardi Gras-like affairs. Buffett launched his Margaritaville line of clothes and opened the first of his Margaritaville clubs in Key West. He also turned to fiction writing, landing on the book bestseller lists.
His recording career, meanwhile, languished, though a hits compilation sold millions; a 1990 live album, Feeding Frenzy, went gold; and a 1992 box-set retrospective, Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads, became one of the best-selling box sets ever. Buffett finally got around to making a new album in 1994, when Fruitcakes became one of his fastest-selling records. It was followed in 1995 by Barometer Soup and Banana Wind in 1996. The following year, Buffett began working on a musical adaptation of Herman Wouk's novel Don't Stop the Carnival with the author himself. After Broadway producers expressed little interest, the production ran for six weeks in Miami during 1997. In spring of 1998, Buffett released a collection of songs from the production as he began mulling over the idea of taking the play on the road. In 1999 he released Beach House on the Moon as well as Live: Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday.
During the first few years of the millennium, Buffett's newly launched Mailboat label issued close to a dozen concert recordings, as well as the 2002 studio album Far Side of the World. Two years later, Buffett allowed RCA to distribute his second Mailboat studio album, License to Chill. Live albums recorded in Hawaii and Boston appeared in 2005, followed by an all-new collection of songs called Take the Weather with You in 2006 and two more live sets, Live in Anguilla in 2007 and Feeding Frenzy: Live in 2008. In 2009, Buffett released Buffet Hotel, his first new studio album in years. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Annual Awards Showcase Remodeling Style
Fort Atkinson, WI— Every good designer has walked onto a job site to see a once-trendy design that, sadly, has surpassed its expiration date. Award-winning designers see these outdated rooms as a blank canvas for a master's brush.
The Master Design Awards, now in their 30th year, honor outstanding building projects in wide-ranging categories that cover the spectrum of both interior and exterior design. Sponsored by Kitchen & Bath Design News' sister publication Qualified Remodeler, the contest garners entrants from across the country, who submit photos and project descriptions to be judged by a panel of their peers.
This year's award winners included some of the best and brightest professional remodeling projects completed between January 1, 2008 and May 23, 2009.
The entries were judged on aesthetic appeal, construction techniques, handling of challenging situations, attention to detail, functionality of the remodeled space, financial/budgetary success and the overall impression of the finished project. Judging took place in 22 categories, from kitchen and bath projects to outdoor living and whole-house remodeling projects. Awards were announced and presented at a ceremony on October 27, at the Remodeling Show in Indianapolis.
Bath Over $50k – Gold Winner
Out of the most common problems spring the most uncommon solutions. This was evident in a Majestic Hills master bath that the Chandler, AZ-based TriLite Builders was called upon to remodel.
Suffering from an overdose of pink, the '90s-inspired design had, among other problems, a functionless, obtrusive walk-in closet/dressing area, bulky soffits and poor lighting.
The clients wanted to turn the bath – which the designers termed "nauseatingly pink" – into an inviting, elegant, spa-inspired space with improved function and warmth.
A key safety issue also needed to be addressed: There were steps leading to the shower and the toilet, and the clients worried about tripping on these when using the bathroom at night, or when getting out of the tub with wet feet. For that reason, eliminating the steps was one of the first orders of business for this project.
One thing the original master bath had going for it was architectural interest that could be capitalized upon. Existing archways over the original closet area inspired the project's designer to incorporate similar arches elsewhere: from master bedroom to bath and also from the adjoining office to the master bedroom.
The existing arch now adorns the freestanding contemporary volcanic limestone soaking tub. The tub itself, from Victoria & Albert, was selected both for its style and for the limestone's ability to help maintain water temperature.
A highlight of the design is the Giallo Santo granite and opalescent glass tile design in the area behind the tub, which resembles a waterfall. These tiles are also found in the tub niche as well as in the walk-in shower.
As part of the remodel, the shower also received a complete upgrade to replace the outdated cultured marble shower with glass doors. A new rain showerhead helps to create the spa-feeling the clients so desired.
The designer specified fixtures from Grohe's Allure collection, as well as dual china sinks from Xylem for the vanity.
The existing bulky soffits over the vanity and tub/shower area were jettisoned to contribute to a more streamlined simplicity and elegance.
"The symmetry of the new arches and precise layout for the placement of fixtures and the tub niche had our project manager sharpening up his math as well as his carpentry skills," the builders noted in their design statement. The wall and niche behind the tub had to be framed before installing floor tile and the actual tub. There was no margin for error as the niche was to be 1/4" above the finished height of the tub.
Even with the firm's expertise, the project was not without its challenges, the builders report. During demolition, an HVAC return was discovered in an area that the client thought was empty space. The new (and already ordered) cabinetry from Mid Continent Cabinetry, had been configured to utilize this space. To solve this problem, the cabinet placement was modified to include making small custom drawer fronts to match new cabinets, which saved money for the clients in that they did not have to reorder cabinets.
Another surprise was found during demolition, when the steps leading up to the tub/shower area were removed. Instead of finding concrete beneath the tile, there was only dirt below. Concrete had to be poured through the window and then bolted to the existing slab.
Plumbing had to be rerouted for the new tub, while wiring had to be pulled for added accent lighting behind the arch over the tub area.
Indirect lighting was strategically placed behind the tub to create a mellow, relaxed feeling. The glaring lights around the vanity were replaced with tasteful sconce lights with framed mirrors to match the vanity cabinets.
To add functionality without interrupting the clean lines of the bath, electrical outlets were hidden inside cabinets, giving the vanity area a more polished look.
The closet dressing area wasted much of the bathroom's space, according to the builders. Sliding mirrored doors on three sides revealed only 70 sq. ft. of space. For simplicity and cost effectiveness, the mirrored doors from all three sides were removed to open up the existing space for easy access. Entrance to the closet is now to the right of the tub. Utilizing the newly constructed 11' wall behind the tub, the client was able to build in floor-to-ceiling shelves with cubbies for shoes and space for long-hanging garments. The new closet measures 170 sq. ft. – over twice what the previous closet had provided.
Part of achieving a Master Design Award is measuring the financial success of the project. By beating the homeowners' budget by $2,000 to create this streamlined, elegant, visually interesting space, TriLite Builders took the Gold.
Kitchen Over $100k – Gold winner
Chevy Chase, MD-based Wentworth, Inc. had plenty of challenges when it was charged with the remodel of a poorly designed 1970s kitchen with dated cabinetry, yellowing grout between backsplash tiles, old linoleum floors and uneven construction.
According to Wentworth, the homeowners' ultimate goal was to gut the old kitchen, maximize the available space and open the room up to the adjacent dining room and rear garden to suit the clients' "informal lifestyle."
The result is a kitchen with a light, airy, almost European feel. The designers took their inspiration from the space's proximity to the home's back garden. Replacing the sliding glass doors with French doors that opened straight onto the patio was the first step.
To address the uneven and aging structure, the firm newly framed the space to make walls and floor plumb and square. The narrow space, just 11'4"x14', required a careful design to accommodate a new island. The south wall was fitted with 12"-deep, full-height cabinets in a warm off-white tone.
Between the main cabinetry and the ceiling are glass-front boxes for display. Pantry cabinets flank a countertop used for laptops, mail cubbies and cell phone charging.
A north wall accommodates all of the appliances, the sink and a new casement window. The tight space required that the rear door be repositioned, which also accentuates the view of the garden.
Efficiency was the goal for the new center island, which the builders describe as "a comfortable space for breakfast, coffee and reading the morning news." Its cherry top adds a warm tone that sets off the colors in the wood flooring and complements the natural stone perimeter countertops. Eclectic pendant lights hang above and help to lead the eye toward the garden. The symmetry this style provides is further reinforced with a custom coffered-beam ceiling that accentuates the height and gives a fair amount of high style to an otherwise informal and minimalistic space.
The results, coming in at a budget of $160,000, matched the clients' goals. The living spaces now flow seamlessly through one another, front-to-back, with the kitchen acting as the conduit to the beautiful rear garden.
Although the space is modestly scaled, the strategic use of natural light combined with appropriately sized elements gives it a very upgraded, spacious feel, the builders note.
"The new kitchen utilizes carefully planned, upscale detailing that gives the home a [unique] sense of understated, practical luxury," the builders conclude.

There are several Blackjack variations available online, and one of them is Blackjack Switch. In fact, Blackjack Switch is becoming more and more popular even among avid Blackjack players because there are several rule variations that are actually beneficial for players.
When you play Blackjack Switch, you are dealt two hands to play with. Of course, you must make two bets of equal size on each hand as part of the game's rules. Once the cards are dealt, you can review each hand and trade cards between the two hands you are holding accordingly. This way, you can figure out the best starting hand combinations possible and be that much closer to winning the round.
Other standard Blackjack rules apply in the game of Blackjack Switch. You can only switch the second cards dealt on each hand, but you can still hit, split, and double down on any two cards you want. Plus, you can also switch cards to form a Blackjack, allowing you to win a handsome payout without hassle. In the game of Blackjack Switch, Blackjack pays 2 to 1; you will get ?20 for every ?10 you wager on a winning hand.
Several online casinos including some well-known Playtech casinos offer the game of Blackjack Online. Playtech rules of Blackjack Switch are a bit different, with only six decks used (compared to 8 decks used in other online casinos) and only one split is allowed. Still, the game is very exciting and can be highly profitable to play if you know what you are doing.

NEWS: Target exposes world's poor to "very high risk" and should be tightened as much as...
The Climate Coalition spans over 100 organisations, from environment and development charities to unions, faith, community and women's groups.
Check them out below, or use the drop down menu to filter by organisation type.
Salvation Army
The Salvation Army is a worldwide Christian church and charity. We put our beliefs into practice through a programme of practical action, serving our communities, supporting those in need and fighting for social justice.
SCIAF (Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund) is Scotland's leading international aid and development agency. We work in over 15 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America responding to humanitarian disasters and providing some of the world's poorest people with practical support so that they can work their way out of poverty and towards a better life. Here in Scotland we campaign to address the root causes of poverty and injustice so that we can create a fairer world for all people.
Scientists for Global Responsibility
Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) is an independent UK-based membership organisation of about 900 natural scientists, social scientists, engineers, IT professionals and architects. We promote science, design and technology that contribute to peace, social justice, and environmental sustainability. SGR carries out research, education and advocacy work focused on four main issues: security and disarmament; climate change and energy; who controls science and technology; and emerging technologies.
Scottish Episcopal Church
The Scottish Episcopal Church is a welcoming and inclusive Church that traces its history back to the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland. We are part of the world-wide Anglican Communion - a family of some 70 million Christians in more than 160 countries. The vulnerable and those in need are of particular concern to us. Justice, peace, and the care of the environment are also areas in which our members are actively involved. As a church we support a variety of mission and development projects at home and overseas.
Scottish Seabird Centre
The multi-award winning Scottish Seabird Centre is located in North Berwick, East Lothian, overlooking the wildlife-rich waters of the Firth of Forth.
A conservation and education charity, the organisation focuses on encouraging people to appreciate and care for wildlife and the environment.
A world-leader in remote wildlife viewing, there are interactive live cameras on the world-famous Bass Rock, Isle of May National Nature Reserve, plus other harbours and islands. Visitors to the five star Discovery Centre can zoom in on the seasonal wildlife action and there are also boat trips, a gift shop and the Seabird Café.
SCVO works in partnership with the voluntary sector to advance our shared values and interests. We have over 1400 members who range from individuals and grassroots groups, to Scotland-wide organisations and intermediary bodies. Through lobbying and campaigning SCVO works to advance the interests of our members and the people and communities that they support.
SEAD aims to challenge the causes of poverty, social injustice and environmental degradation; and to support the community-based movement for positive social change.
We believe that dynamic communities have the power to make positive changes in our society. SEAD's projects support people to become part of this change. We work with communities in Scotland and in the developing world to exchange ideas, knowledge and inspiration. We provide tools and support to turn this into action.
ShareAction is an independent campaigning organisation, working to hold companies accountable to their real owners – the people who pay into a pension fund or ISA. The billions of pounds in our pensions mean that pension funds have a huge stake in UK businesses and this gives them an enormous influence over corporate behaviour. We campaign on human rights and environmental issues; from tar sands and Living Wage to Arctic oil and human trafficking.
Simpol UK
The International Simultaneous Policy Organisation is a movement of world citizens who use their votes to drive the politicians of all nations to simultaneously implement the Simultaneous Policy (Simpol), a range of citizen-designed measures to bring about economic justice, environmental security and world peace.
With simultaneous implementation, no nation suffers any first-mover competitive disadvantage so politicians of all parties risk nothing if they support Simpol. By "adopting" Simpol, citizens pledge to vote in future elections for ANY politician or party - within reason - that pledges to implement it.
SPEAK is a network of students and young adults who campaign and pray about issues of global justice. Through bringing change to situations of injustice, we aim to share our faith in our all-loving, all-powerful creator: God

Who knows what future any 16 year old has? He is eligible for juniors for another couple years.
I do note that his 2 axel looks significantly better than it has. He may get that 3A yet.
Just watched the YouTube vids...
I really liked that Jason Brown. This is the first time I've seen him skate (didn't watch the regular JGP events). Very smooth, interesting and enjoyable style. I like his costume and little ponytail too.
I...think it was a joke.
Does he not have one in his free either? His double looked quite high and easy, I would have guessed he's at least been landing triples in practice.
Brown reminds me a little of Scott Hamilton. Fun to watch. He's way too short for ice dance. Josh Farris's spins are wonderful. Hope these two can finish atop the podium.
All of Hino's jumps are tilted in a very precarious manner.
It was a joke- the height was not really relevent. 3A's are in SP's and LP's. It'd be odd to save a 3A for LP when they are needed in both SPs and LPs. He was the only one not to try a 3A in his SP. The not trying of the jump is the most negative for his career in singles if he wants to have one and skate in seniors. I don't know what his career plans are and if he wants to continue after Jr.
He's like every skater at 16. He wants to go to the Olympics. So he'll keep trying to learn the 3A.
