Tau Sigma chapter now on University of Michigan-Dearborn Campus
Tau Sigma chapter now on University of Michigan-Dearborn Campus
UM-Dearborn is first school in Michigan to create chapter of the Tau Sigma National Honor Society
DEARBORN / June 16, 2009---The University of Michigan-Dearborn has established a campus chapter of Tau Sigma National Honor Society, an academic honor society designed specifically to recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students.
UM-Dearborn is the first school in Michigan to form a chapter, according to Christopher Tremblay, director of admissions and orientation.
"This is a great way for students who are in Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at their community college to continue their academic excellence and be recognized by a four-year school" Tremblay said.
"We're very excited that UM-Dearborn has established the first Tau Sigma chapter in the state of Michigan," said L. Lee Colquitt, executive director of Tau Sigma. "I am confident that this chapter will be a great partner to the University in their efforts to serve the transfer population there."
More than 225 transfer students were eligible for induction. To be considered for the society, students must transfer to UM-Dearborn from another academic institution with at least one full year's academic credits at the prior institution. Students also must be registered for 12 credit hours at UM-Dearborn. The minimum academic average required for membership is a 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
The society also will induct honorary members, including Daniel Little, UM-Dearborn chancellor; Gail Mee, president of Henry Ford Community College; David Nixon, president of Monroe County Community College; Conway Jeffress, Schoolcraft College president; Larry Whitworth, Washtenaw Community College president; Curtis Ivery, Wayne County Community College District chancellor; James Jacobs, Macomb Community College president, Timothy Meyer, Oakland Community College chancellor.
"Throughout our 50-year history, the University of Michigan-Dearborn has welcomed transfer students," said Stanley E. Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life. "When we began in 1959, we were entirely a transfer university and today more than 50 percent of our new students each year are transfer students. They bring leadership and experience that enrich our campus community. We are delighted to celebrate their achievements through the state's first Tau Sigma chapter."

Developing a MVC Component/Introduction
From Joomla! Documentation

This is a multiple-article series of tutorials on how to develop a Model-View-Controller Component for Joomla! Version .
Begin with the Introduction, and navigate the articles in this series by using the navigation box to the right (the Articles in this series).
This tutorial is adapted from Christophe Demko:
WARNING: this tutorial will not repeat the comments Demko, to see them see your tutorial:
Here only the part 17, this:
- 2.5 - Adding_an_update_server migrated to Joomla 3.0 and your final zip.
This is my first sample component to Joomla 3.0.
My contributions:
- Migration to Joomla 3.0
- Add language pt-BR
You need Joomla! 3.0 Beta1 (with PHP, MySQL, Apache and Microsoft II) or greater for this tutorial.
I gathered a lot of information and then I started to migrate the component of the new Joomla 2.5 to 3.0 (still in beta1). Below is some important information used for migration:
Use "display_errors On" to help in errors debug.
Migrating Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.0:
Remember that you need to add Legacy any place you are directly extending JModel, JView or JController. If it is indirect (like through JModellist) you don't have to, it's already taken care of. Other than that and the fact that as announced long ago deprecated code has been removed (I'd guess that JParameter is the biggest impact ) extensions should only need minor changes ... although you will want to look at the output changes that Kyle is working on. Of course if you are building stand alone platform applications the new MVC and jApplicationWeb/JApplicationCLI are completely the way you should work and the nice thing about the way we have done this is that the new packages are already right there on your server having arrived with the CMS. (Elin in development list)
Since we've removed the DS constant in 3.0, we need to replace the uses of the constant in com_media. The most unobtrusive change is to simply replace it with PHP's DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant since DS is an alias to that.
if(!defined('DS')){ define('DS',DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); } //$controller = JController::getInstance('HelloWorld'); $controller = JControllerLegacy::getInstance('HelloWorld'); //class HelloWorldViewHelloWorlds extends JView class HelloWorldViewHelloWorlds extends JViewLegacy class HelloWorldController extends JControllerLegacy class HelloWorldModelHelloWorld extends JModelItemLegacy class HelloWorldModelUpdHelloWorld extends JModelFormLegacy JRegistry::getValue() now is JRegistry::get() //Convert sample to JRegistry with LoadJSON - Sample from Joomla 3.0 sourcecode // $params = new JRegistry; // $params->loadJSON($this->item->params); // $this->item->params = $params; $params = new JRegistry; $params->loadString($item->params); $item->params = $params;

Radio and Records on permanent R&R
When I signed on to RadioandRecords.com this morning, I was greeted with the following announcement:
Dear Radio & Records Reader:
Given the consolidation of the radio and music industries, Nielsen Business Media has determined that the best way to leverage its assets and resources in support of these industries is to consolidate its music brands.
Consequently, we have decided to consolidate R&R magazine and RadioandRecords.com into Billboard magazine and Billboard.biz and to expand their coverage of the radio industry. In particular, the R&R airplay charts, which are powered by Nielsen BDS and which have become a key tracker of industry performance, will now appear in the pages of Billboard magazine and on Billboard.biz.
As promised, I was very soon redirected to Billboard.biz.
It struck me that in a way, this signaled the end of an era. Radio & Records was one of the trade publications that was mandatory reading at the radio station I used to work at. Its music charts were used by many music directors (including the one at my station) to craft their playlists from. So to have such an important publication go away is kind of a big deal.
It's not to say that broadcast radio is dead — far from it. There are still over 13,000 radio stations in this country, and millions of listeners. But does suggest there's a change in how people think about — and use — media.
It's a trend we've been adapting to at Crutchfield for some time, now. Take the category of clock and table radios, for example. Two years ago, most of the products in that category had AM and FM radio tuners. Now the primary feature is an iPod® dock. Or look at the shift in our articles and blog posts. We still write about old-school topics like how to build a car audio system, but we've also walked people through the ways to use iTunes®, reviewed Internet radio stations, chronicled the expansion of satellite radio, explained the benefits of podcasting, talked about online music services, examined Bluetooth systems and other aspects of wireless audio — and more.
Nielsen's consolidation of publications, to me, simply indicates that they recognize what consumers (and we at Crutchfield) have known for a while. It's the content that matters, not necessarily the delivery system. In the olden days, you heard hit songs first on the radio. Now you might discover new music through Internet radio stations that only stream audio, music services like Pandora, tracks recommended by your friends through social media links, or any other number of ways. Radio may still be important, but there's no denying there's been a sea change in attitudes.
And that just keeps things interesting.

Midwest Living Review
If you're looking for gifts for children and children at heart, Poopsie's in downtown Galena is worth a visit. One half of the store is given over to kids' toys and games -- some educational, some creative and some just crazy/fun. It's a great mix, and as entertaining for adults to check out as kids. You'll find a lot of things that work on a couple of different levels. Our personal favorite: "Oh, Yuck," the encyclopedia of "everything nasty," which will gross you out while teaching you something at the same time. On the opposite side of the store is an eclectic selection of housewares, greeting cards, baby gifts, jewelry, reading glasses and other items, with prices that are all over the board. There's a huge display of Patricia Locke jewelry for example, running anywhere from $112 to $360, as well as mesh flower rings selling for $3.99. There are picture frames that cost $24.99 ... and $250. What we found most entertaining, however, were the whimsical, silly and gag gift items mixed right in with the inspirational magnets and candle holders. Things like serving utensils with stick-figure handles, ice cube forms in the shape of false teeth, clocks made out of silverware, soda can vases and smiley-face spreaders. Regardless of whether you buy anything or not, you'll find this place amusing.

As a preventive strategy, it is wise to regularly monitor your car or truck in regular basis between drives.

A confident logo for a graphic design company. I love the formation of the logo from the company name and how abstract it looks at first. The detail that frames the logo is great!
Posted in Branding → LogoA clear and bold logo design. The use of colour solely in the logo helps it to make an impact while the straight edges of the cart contrast well with the custom typeface of the text. I love the way this logo transforms its key letter (an \'e\') into a recognisable image.
Posted in Branding → LogoA relatively simple but still intriguing business card for a graphic designer. The use of just two focal colours makes a bold statement and is to its merit. It succeeds in keeping its text clear and readable while keeping the overall design sleek.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsThis musical App is a great example of stunning interface design. I love the graphical detail and the way the transparent black boxes are contrasted with the wood effect background. I particularly like the simple but clear icons on the tab bar.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA great twist on using headphones in a logo. The use of orange and white is bold and works well alongside the relatively simple lines of the logo. I am unsure how well the text works, the typeface is clear but somehow the orange letters don\'t work for me.
Posted in Branding → LogoA very stylish site with an intuitive layout. The \'Ally\' logo is a great piece of design while the ever-changing central picture holds your attention. I particularly like how the large amount of empty space surrounding the header allows your attention to be drawn to the focal point of the site.
Posted in Web Design → DesignThe superb detail on this business card really grabs your attention. Unfortunately it\'s slightly let down by how difficult it is to read the text. Nonetheless I think the colour palette is great and that, overall, the design works.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA clear and stylish corporate web design with excellent custom icons and an animated header. I like the clean layout of the site and its colour swatch. The animated white dots (while essentially superfluous) are a nice detail.
Posted in Web Design → CorporateSimple yet effective. This business card quickly and easily gets across its vital information within a stylish design. I find the faded grey detail on the front of the card works really well.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA very stylish site that effectively showcases the photography and design of its owner. I especially like the designer\'s personal logo.
Posted in Web Design → PhotographyA simple, three colour business card design that makes a statement. The symmetry of the logo is excellent and works well within the minimalist design. I particularly like the curvature of the corners and the continuity created by using a section of the logo as the detail on the back.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA great neutral design with subtle colour accents. I particularly like the dramatic focal image. In addition, the typeface fits the overall design and the text keeps its explanation concise.
Posted in Web Design → SoftwareA stylish business card perfectly suited to any designer. The texture of the background is great when contrast with the simple white text. The overall colour palette is effective and suits the geometry of the design.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA fantastically original site with really unique typographical illustrations and a really refreshing layout. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and have a look at the footer for even more design goodness.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioThe long awaited Twitter App perfectly suits the iPhone and makes it easier than ever to keep up with the world. The interface is simple but allows the content to thrive while the custom icons add design interest.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA solid business card design that treads the line between being professional and standing out. The repeated company name works really well, as does the colour palette. Yellow on grey is a popular colour selection but remains effective.
Posted in Branding → Business CardsA nice, clean design with bright pops of color in all the right places. I really like the interesting abstract shapes in the logo. They feel like 3D objects that Picasso created or something. An interesting effect!
Posted in Web Design → BlogA sophisticated student planner that sports a well thought out custom interface. The utilisation of the standard calendar is good but can feel a little too busy. The variety and design of the class icons is fantastic and a great detail!
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppAs the name implies, this site posts funny videos featuring animals. I really like the logo design and the textured background is not bad either. Overall, a fairly unique design for a video site.
Posted in Web Design → MiscA clear and intuitive invoicing App. The clarity of the design is great, while the use of colour throughout works very effectively. I particularly like the use of three simple tabs and the standardised header.
Posted in Interface → iPhone App

My young son came crashing in through the front door. I ran to the living room to see why he was bawling, but he was laughing ... laughing through the four inches of packed snow caked in his hood, boots and gloves. "I biffed the hill!" was all he said, and he exclaimed that over and over again, as snow was being scooped off of and out of his clothing.
Yvonne Feeney, age 87, of Pierre, SD, died Tuesday, December 26, 2006, at Maryhouse Nursing Care Center in Pierre. Mass of Christian burial was celebrated Saturday, December 30, at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Pierre with burial at Riverside Cemetery. Yvonne Carlson was born on May 12, 1919 in Philip, SD, to Clarence "Print" and Blanche (Voshal) Carlson. She graduated from Philip High School in 1937, and attended both South Dakota State University and the Minnesota School of Business.
Vetal Romero, age 91, of Wanblee, died Saturday, December 30, 2006, at the Kadoka Nursing Home. Funeral services were held Tuesday, January 2, at the Presbyterian Church in Kadoka, with Pastor Gary McCubbin officiating. Interment will be at the Romero Family Cemetery near Wanblee. Vetal Romero was born March 28, 1915, in Wanblee, SD, the son of Manuel and Florence (Hawk) Romero. He grew up around Wanblee and received his education in Genoa, NE.
Norma LeCocq was born in Wall, SD, and was the 10th of 11 children in her family. She married Robert Asheim on April 30, 1944. They resided in Rapid City, SD, and raised five children there. Norma was very involved with her children's activities, church and community organizations, often serving in leadership roles. After their retirement from Robert's career at Black Hills Power and Light, they lived in Saudi Arabia for two years where Robert worked as a consultant for electric power development.
A year-end meeting to wrap up 2006 paperwork was held by the Haakon County Board of Commissioners on December 27. The minutes of the regular December commissioner's meeting were approved. Recently submitted claims were approved for payment. Automatic supplements and contingency transfers were approved for departments which had gone over their budgets.
Tim Johnson, United States Democratic Senator from South Dakota, underwent surgery for an intracerebral bleed on December 13, 2006. He still remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition at George Washington University Hospital. Johnson was diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation (AMV), a condition that causes arteries and veins to grow abnormally large, become tangled and sometimes burst.
The "Welcome to Philip, est. 1907" sign at the intersection of Highway 14 and Pine Street will eventually be highlighted with decorative landscaping and accent lighting. The community assessment done in 2004 brought to light that such signage was a priority to the community. Actual planning was begun in 2005, and it was decided to focus on only one sign for now because of the availability of funds. After the project was officially commissioned, the metal work began around the middle of September and was completed in early November.
75 Years Ago - January 5, 1933 County Officers for 1933 ... H. E. Walden, county treasurer, Alice Dawson, deputy county treasurer, Henry Singleton, county auditor, W.O. Lamb, county superintendent. E.F. Walden retired from the position of cashier of the First National Bank of Philip at the close of the old year. Mr. Walden has been in the banking business about 26 years.

I like it so much I was thinking of buying a second one.
This ring sparkles and is truly gorgeous. I am considering returning because you truly need 2 of them they are thin and the ring is a little uncomfortable a channel setting would be more comfortable for me. Lastly I'm not sure I can afford two of theses now in today economy.
Returned this, more than half of the stones were cloudy and had no shine or sparkle what so ever other than the surface reflection. I wonder about the clarity rating....I3 is more consistent in my opinion. The picture is not at all accurate.
Love it. It's exactly what I wanted.
Matched existing ring perfectly. Good color and clarity.
This was my first prong-setting eternity ring. The ring is very pretty, and delicate looking -- just what I wanted. But I seem to catch things in the prongs and end up with little pieces of fluff hanging on to the ring. The solitaire engagement ring "protects" part of this ring, but the palm side is exposed all the time. The diamonds are poor quality and inconsistent when viewed through a loop. But at arms distance, they are great. Perhaps because of me catching prongs, or perhaps because of the setting quality, I have lost one of the diamonds. I am thinking I need to trade this ring out for its channel set sister. Although the ring is pretty, I would probably not recommend this design to a friend.
Product of good quality and actually as described. Best of all was the customer service. Very efficient and helpful
very happy with purchase, looks very nice between engagement ring and wedding band, adds a lot of sparkle.

Read important information on DxOMark Sensor ranking and test results specific to medium-format cameras.
DxO Labs experts summarize the performance of this camera in its DxOMark review.
77 |
91 |
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Leica's re-imagined S medium format camera adopts the 30 x 45mm 37.5-Mpix CCD of the original Leica S2 but adds improved image processing, built-in GPS and a number of other refinements. Read on to find out how well the new camera performs. |
The Sony NEX-5T is an update of the firm's NEX-5R model, introduced last year. It retains all of the features of its predecessor including the same 16-Mpix APS-C sized CMOS sensor but adds adding NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled WiFi. Read on to find out how well the camera performs. |
Professional portrait and landscape photographers often use medium-format cameras because of their superb performance under controlled lighting conditions. However, as these cameras are definitely not designed for so-called "action photography" scenarios, they generally do not perform well with respect to DxO Labs' Low-Light ISO metric. Because of this inherent low-light limitation, medium-format cameras do not receive top marks on the DxOMark Sensor Overall Score, even though they may show outstanding performance with respect to Color Depth or Dynamic Range. |

IgA Nephropathy

What is IgA nephropathy?
IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder that occurs when IgA—a protein that helps the body fight infections—settles in the kidneys. After many years, the IgA deposits may cause the kidneys to leak blood and sometimes protein in the urine.
Many people with IgA nephropathy leak blood in the urine, but this leakage does not mean they will have long-term problems. Others leak both blood and protein in the urine. If too much protein leaks into the urine, the hands and feet can swell. After 10 to 20 years with IgA nephropathy, the kidneys may show signs of damage. About 25 percent of adults with IgA nephropathy develop total kidney failure. Only 5 to 10 percent of children develop total kidney failure. Symptoms of kidney failure include swelling in the hands and feet, nausea, fatigue, headaches, and sleep problems. By the time these symptoms occur, total kidney failure is near. Total kidney failure means the kidney damage is permanent. People with kidney failure need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
How do people know that they have IgA nephropathy?
In the early stages, IgA nephropathy has no symptoms. This disease can be silent for years, even decades. The first sign of IgA nephropathy may be blood in the urine. The blood may appear during a cold, sore throat, or other infection. At times, blood in the urine can only be detected by a doctor or nurse using special tests. If the amount of blood increases, urine may turn pink or the color of tea or cola. People who have blood in their urine should see a doctor or nurse, but the condition is not always a sign of a serious disease. For example, heavy exercise can cause blood in the urine.
Who is at risk for IgA nephropathy?
IgA nephropathy can occur at any age, even in childhood. More men are affected than women. Although found all over the world, IgA nephropathy is more common among Caucasians and Asians. It is one of the most common diseases of the kidney, other than those caused by diabetes or high blood pressure.
What causes IgA nephropathy?
Scientists do not know what causes IgA deposits to form in the kidneys. IgA nephropathy may run in families or be related to respiratory infections. No consistent trigger for the disease has been found.
How is IgA nephropathy diagnosed?
A urine test called urinalysis usually provides the first clues. In a urinalysis, the doctor or nurse dips a special strip with chemicals into the urine sample. The strip changes color when blood or protein is present in the urine. If the test strip is positive, the urine will then be examined with a microscope to look for red blood cells. The red blood cells may be clumped together to form little tubes. These tubes are called casts because they are formed or molded inside the kidneys' tiny draining structures. If casts are found, it usually means the kidney filters are damaged.
Blood tests measure the waste products in the blood that the kidneys usually get rid of. Two examples are creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). If the BUN and creatinine levels are high, it means the kidneys are not working well. If the creatinine level is high at the time of diagnosis, the patient is more likely to develop kidney failure.
If there is kidney damage, the doctor will probably recommend a kidney biopsy. In this procedure, a needle is used to retrieve a small piece of kidney tissue for examination with different microscopes. Only a biopsy can show the IgA deposits in the kidney filters. The biopsy can also tell how much kidney damage has already occurred. The biopsy results can help the doctor determine the best treatment. Once a diagnosis of IgA nephropathy is established, a person should have regular blood tests to monitor kidney function.
How is IgA nephropathy treated?
Kidney disease usually cannot be cured. When the kidneys are damaged, they cannot be repaired. Treatment focuses on slowing the disease and preventing complications.
One complication is high blood pressure, also called hypertension. Hypertension damages the kidneys. Two types of blood pressure medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) protect kidney function. These medicines not only lower blood pressure but also decrease the loss of protein into the urine. Because of this effect, they are often used in IgA nephropathy to protect the kidneys. They are good medicines but have certain side effects. Pregnant women should not take ACE inhibitors or ARBs because they can damage the unborn baby.
People with IgA nephropathy may develop high cholesterol. By watching their diet and taking medicine, they can help lower their cholesterol level. Lowering cholesterol may help slow kidney damage.
Medicines such as prednisone may help treat IgA nephropathy. Prednisone belongs to a class of medicines called corticosteroids, which can have harmful side effects. In research studies, fish oil supplements containing omega 3 fatty acids also slowed kidney damage in some patients. Vitamin E may help lower protein in the urine but not blood. One of the newer immunosuppressive agents called mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is also being tested in treating IgA nephropathy.
Hope through Research
In recent years, researchers have learned much about kidney disease. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsors several programs aimed at understanding kidney failure and finding treatments to stop its progression.
The NIDDK's Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases (DKUHD) supports basic research into normal kidney function and the diseases that impair normal function at the cellular and molecular levels, including diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, and other diseases marked by protein in the urine.
Researchers sponsored by the DKUHD are studying families in which IgA nephropathy is prevalent in order to understand genetic factors that may influence the disease. Other researchers are working to understand how the polyunsaturated fatty acids found in fish oils may work to reduce inflammation in diseases like IgA nephropathy and rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical trials are under way to test the effectiveness of MMF in reducing protein in the urine and slowing the progression of kidney disease in people with IgA nephropathy.

Following on from the biological underpinning of psychology in HPS111, HPS121 focuses on the science of the human individual in context. Different theoretical perspectives of psychological concepts relating to how we function as individuals in a social world are contrasted and evaluated throughout the unit.
We begin by looking at how we - as both biological and social beings - develop throughout the lifespan as we explore the complex interaction between biological and environmental influences. Various theoretical perspectives are applied to explore what makes up our individual personalities, and how personality is assessed. The impact of psychological disorders on individual and societal wellbeing is considered, and the different therapeutic approaches used to treat these disorders are analysed. We then examine the power of situational, societal, and cultural influences on behaviour.
The HPS121 teaching team aim to deliver challenging and fascinating psychological concepts in a way that you can apply to your own personal experiences, future study and career. In the class series, the unit will incorporate the content areas of HPS121 into a holistic understanding of the interactions and relationships between the topics, all within the context of psychology as a scientific discipline. The seminar series will enable you to develop real-world applied skills that will help you work through the unit as well as expose you to some of the processes involved in working as an allied health professional. The assessment tasks are designed to help you develop industry-related skills and knowledge.
Though the unit content and assessments have been designed to help you broaden your understanding and skills developed in HPS111, HPS121 has been constructed so that students may do the two units in either order, or do either unit individually.
Assessment task 1: Laboratory report (2000 words) 40%
Assessment task 2: Multiple choice examination (2 hours) 60%

Japan tsunami debris spreads in US two years after earthquakeBy BECKY BOHRER
The Associated Press | March 10,2013JUNEAU, Alaska Two years ago, the yellow buoy was hanging as part of a restaurant sign in the coastal community of Minamisanriku in northern Japan when an earthquake triggered a tsunami and washed it and so much more out to sea.
About a year later, the buoy was found more than 3,000 miles away on a remote Alaska island, discovered by an avid beachcomber who, through sheer coincidence, was later able to find the owner, who had lost her home and business. Hundreds of similar buoys have been found on beaches along the West Coast, a combination of the everyday trash that has plagued coastal areas for years and debris washed away by the March 11, 2011 disaster.
Distinguishing between the two is difficult. Just 21 items from among the more than 1,500 reports of possible tsunami debris have been firmly traced back to the tsunami, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The confirmed items include several derelict vessels, including a small boat found in Hawaii waters, large docks that have washed ashore in Washington state and Oregon, and a motorcycle that washed ashore off the coast of British Columbia.
These are items that tend to have unique markings names of people and places, registration numbers or other identifying information. The agency lists scores of other items along the West Coast and across the Pacific Ocean as potentially linked to the catastrophe.
The Japanese government estimated 1.5 million tons of debris was floating in the ocean in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, which devastated a long stretch of Japans northeastern coast and killed thousands of people. But its not clear how much is still out there or what might reach U.S. shores. NOAA has said the debris is spread over an area roughly three times the size of the contiguous United States, and that beachgoers may notice an increase in debris over many years, in addition to what normally washes up.
Beachcombing on Middleton Island, in the northern Gulf of Alaska, has long been a favorite pastime for radar technician David Baxter and some of his colleagues. In early 2012, there had been talk about finding tsunami debris a wall with a safe in it or a briefcase of money, wed always joke about that but Baxter said he didnt think it was realistic hed find anything related to the tsunami, given models hed seen at the time that suggested the debris would move much further south.
Then, in February 2012, a co-worker found a soccer ball. Baxter subsequently found another soccer ball a discovery that made international headlines as one of the first identifiable pieces of debris to wash up a volleyball and the buoy.
The buoy stood out to Baxter as a bit different from other buoys that have washed up. For example, it was hard, not inflatable, and had writing on it. By chance, when a Japanese film crew was visiting him and his wife after the discovery of the soccer ball, they panned on other items hed found, including the buoy, he said. A friend of the restaurants owner, Sakiko Miura, happened to recognize it, and the owner later confirmed it was hers through a photo sent by Baxter.
FedEx, which flies regularly between Anchorage and Tokyo, volunteered to return items including the balls found by Baxter and the buoy last June. The team traveled by plane to Tokyo and then by train to outlying communities, hand-delivering the items, spokeswoman Sharon Young said.
It was a wonderful experience, to reunite people with things that meant a lot to them and that survived this incredibly devastating situation, she said Friday.
Baxter and his wife were recently able to talk to Miura, who said she plans to rebuild. He said he found the owner of the soccer ball his colleague found, an 8-year-old, and plans to return it this summer.
Baxter said he cant help but be affected by what hes found. He wife is Japanese and he said he has visited the nation several times. But its more than that.
I wonder all the time, when you see (things) if the person was in the house, if they survived, he said, adding later: Of course, when I see the housing insulation and household items, shampoo bottles, shaving cream bottles with Japanese writing on them, yeah, it hurts a little. -

Such a great game, it's a bit short but totally worth playing it. This was the first indie game I played and now I'm a huge fan of indie games. It's a shame it has so few votes, but that's totally relative because there are some games that has almost no votes and gog add them to the site. And others like Grim Fandingo for instance that has huge amount of votes and they don't make it to the list. So let's just keep our fingers cross and wait.

solid purchase.
A solid purchase. It's thinner than you'd expect, but the knit is great and I love the blue color. The only thing is that it's made narrow in the shoulder/chest area so I had to go up a size.

Nice sweater-great color
I love the color. I love the contrast on the cowl neck stitching and the fine sweater weave. It has the feeling of silk. The under arms have nubbed , but over it is great with jeans, skirts and everyday mom wear. It runs a little small, but it's fine.
January 31, 2013
Superbly soft
Oh my this is a fabulous sweater. I bought it in both the green and gray in my true size. It has the most feminine & flattering fit ever and I truly appreciate the super-soft cotton blend that doesn't irritate my skin as wool blends sometimes do. The woven cowlneck is a wonderful compliment to the smooth fabric and the cowlneck lies perfectly flat and stays put all day.

Wish it would last
I bought this sweater in three different colors because I liked it so much. Unfortunately one of the sweaters fell apart after one wash. :(
January 9, 2013
Love, love, love
I love, love, love this sweater. The royal blue color is really saturated and pretty. The cowl neck is a slightly heavier fabric than the light fabric of the body and sleeves of the top, which gives the top more interest and helps it to hang really well. Bought the blue in-store and I'm online to purchase more colors now!
January 5, 2013
Love It
I love this top. I got it in two colors. It washes well, it fits well, the cowl neck hangs beautifully and when I wore it to work everyone loved it and headed to the Limited to purchase. I would love even more colors.
January 3, 2013
Loved this sweater. You can dress it up or dress it down. I love the cowl neck is a different woven pattern than the rest of the sweater

Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DRe: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DAs munga said, Edge is to Suntour as 105 is to Shimano, It's the bottom of their racing gruppo's, that being said, Suntour stuff was (in my opinion) a few years ahead of the others during that era, except to upgrade to Superbe or Superbe Pro you'd be pretty happy with it. I run late 80's indexed Edge gruppo on my Kenetic touring which I use as my daily commuter, it's fast & usually seamless, nearly on par with the modern brifter stuff (when tuned & maintained, but then I guess that applies to most stuff).
I secured a set of Campy Record D/T shifters & a set of Sprint 4000 series D/T shifters, nothing unusual for me both friction, also there is a possibility that #14 maybe secured later today, in negotiation stage, not sure what exactly it is, has triangle shaped cut out's in the lugs & the RD mount, if I get it then once it's here I'll photograph it post those & any frame numbers, looks like it has early Shimano (maybe 600 or 105) gruppo.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D
With the seller or your wife?
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DNo, the seller. The missus doesn't care how many bikes I own, as long as the bills are paid.
The pictures weren't the best, so I asked for better ones. On the better pictures, I noticed that the chain was rusted into both the RD & the cassette, the RD tension adjuster was fully rusted & the seatpost was inserted all the way into the frame. Alarm bells started ringing, there was a high possibility that the seatpost would have to be removed by force, the chain was definitely shot, possibly wheel bearings, headset & BB also, good chance the RD couldn't be saved. On an un-stickered frame, I wasn't going to take that much of a chance, so I retracted my offer. The bike sold on eblag last night for AUS$90, I'm guessing the seller will re-contact me when the poor person turns up & sees the condition it's in & backs out of it OR, they'll take it home, spray the chain with penetrative spray, find out that nothing budges, take it off to a LBS & get told that there's about $200-300 worth of repairs needed, then be very upset & re-list the thing on eblag. What made me consider it in the first place? It wasn't lugged for guards, meaning it was a racing frame rather than a touring frame. The lugs & rear derailleur mount had a triangle shaped cut out, so I was thinking Europa, Elan or Albeni frame. It was 7 speed Shimano D/T shifting, but not SIS, so was either 105 (which is what it was) or 600, meaning above the middle of the range from whichever manufacturer (possibly 3rd level from the top of the racing range). Lastly, they seemed pretty happy to take AUS$100 for it (I now know why) & pull it from auction, I originally thought it was a strip, clean, re-assemble, chuck on some new bar tape, stick some tyres & brake pads in it, it would be ready to ride next Saturday. Total cost about $120 plus the purchase price, find out later what it was, then secure the correct stickers. Would have been another bike saved from being converted into a single speed or having a modern groupset fitted to it, I have a large issue with the dwindling stock of good retro frames out there because people are converting them to single speed commuters or losing the bike roots by fitting late model running gear, I have a perfectly good late model (2002-5) aluminium frame sitting here, un-built, if someone just has to have a briftered bike, I'd gladly swap them for their D/T lugged frame, just to save one more bike being lost. Yep, that probably annoys the cr@p out of some people, but what happens when all these lovely old steel or aluminium frames have been butchered? The current crop of CF bikes will be in the tip with their frames cracked & the whole history of the early bikes that were built to last will be gone. What will be left? A few like myself, who value history, think I'm speaking out my @rse, how many 60's, 70's Aussie built cars do you see these days? How many real vintage cars do you see? Except for the occasional car show or club run, bugger all. Look through the retro pages of this forum, probably 60% of frames are being built as single speed or with modern shifting system, why? Because people don't appreciate D/T shifting, most guys I encounter think that D/T shifting is a pain, that it's fiddly & noisy, I run non-indexed on all my D/T shift bikes bar 1, raced & rode on D/T non-indexed shifting, it's only a matter of being used to it & in my opinion works superior to brifter shifting, you are limited to how much you can trim a brifter system, you aren't with D/T shifting, the only downside is it takes your hands from the bars to change gears, this wasn't too much of a problem when people learnt to ride in the drops all the time, these days everyone seems to want to ride on their hoods, riding in the drops appears to be a vanishing art. Enough of my rant, off to clear my head by riding, yep a D/T non-indexed bike.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DInteresting conversation with one of the young guys at work today, opened my eyes to something I thought was fair & reasonable.
My attitude to the older D/T shifting steel framed bikes, I stated my opinion on how I felt it took away bikes, but his counter point was that if people didn't convert the older steelies to either new gruppo's or single speeds then these frames would just be left to rust in sheds or banished to scrap metal bins, that I was in a minority & that people such as I could only 'save' a small percentage of steel framed bikes. Don't believe how wrong my thinking was before hand. Wise head on young shoulders, something my old head couldn't see. So yes a leopard can change their spots, I now understand just how wrong I was, the more people do these bikes up, whether it be as a retro or with modern running gear or even as a single, the more bikes that are saved from dying a death either from rust or the metal recyclers crushing machine. Guess I'll look at things just a little differently from here on.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D
Awww... I was enjoying your curmudgeonry.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D
+1 likewise, but hopefully the potty mouth will subsist to the brifters then this raturday... bah that may be asking for too much lol.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D
the ghost of bicycles past is a wise one indeed.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DMy main reason for putting on a modern groupset was safety, as the old brakes were seriously inferior to the new ones, even with top quality pads fitted. But yes, weirdly I actually came to like commuting with DT shifters — there were elements I did miss after replacing the DT shifters with those things that start with b and end with rifters.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D
Easy enough to fit new brakes + levers and keep your DT shifters if you like them
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DI agree with crowz, in fact if you had a look at my Verty you'd find very late model 105 calipers with current crane creek levers. Most of my other stuff, I've eased the slots in the calipers out to run current pads (in my case swiss stop ones).
I'm very traditional about looks but not at the expense of safety, most of the wheels I run are modern that look period, if I need a BB, I'll replace it with a modern cartridge one, same with headsets. Some stuff I do is not primarily for safety, the Verty is currently 8 speed, will shortly be 9 speed dura ace D/T shifting, the Benny hopefully will be 10 speed Campy D/T shifting, it makes the bikes easier to ride so therefore a little safer, but in all reality the bikes will be faster (hmmm maybe that's not making them safer), but both are racing frames, I wouldn't consider doing one of my touring bikes with any more than 6 speed, the geometry, design wasn't intended for very high speeds. Dan, don't know if I'd ever be called a 'wise one' (a smart @rse, maybe). I still have a lot to learn about bicycles & riding them, I once heard, " you should learn something new everyday, otherwise you've wasted a day", I still probably have lots to learn.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DCrowz and Wal, you're both right of course, and another time I would quite likely have just changed the calipers and levers. But it started with safety (brakes) and then I just decided to move the rest of the old bike to 10 speed Shimano to match my other bikes.
I do love the fact Shimano still does 10 speed Dura-Ace DT shifters, and did consider putting those on.
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :D
yeah, good on shimano, selling dt shifters for roughly 60-70. would do it..if i had some of those DA brake levers but then we're talking more cost. :/
Re: Retro Riverloop Raturdays :DIMO if they're properly set up sidepull or centrepull brakes are close enough to the performance of modern dual pivot brakes. I have a few bikes with original brakes (hell one with original pads even) and i've never felt like i needed any more braking power.

Your snowboard jacket should keep you dry when you're riding wet, sloppy snow, breathe enough that you don't sweat hard when you're riding hard, and be warm enough that you don't freeze on the way up the lift for another lap. Most people will want a powder skirt to keep out the snow. Insulation, venting, helmet-compatible hoods, pockets, fit, and fabric choices come down to what's best for your riding style.
A jacket's waterproof rating tells you how well its fabric, membrane, and seam construction protect you from wet weather. Look for a higher waterproof rating (20k+) if you spend lots of time in stormy weather or in a wet climate like the Pacific Northwest.
Generally, most snowboarders want a powder skirt to keep the snow out and venting to help them stay cool. A jacket designed for resorts will have features focused on comfort or convenience whereas a jacket designed for the minimalist or backcountry snowboarder will keep things simple to save weight.
Heavily insulated jackets are inherently warm and can be worn over minimal layering. Jackets without insulation require extra mid layers or an insulation layer, but they allow you the flexibility to dress down on warmer days.

Less intense than the experience of "blacking out" when drunk and not remembering portions (or all) of your night, "browning out" occurs when you don't remember something until someone brings it up. It's not a complete blackout, but partial, because you remember once someone refreshes you.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson Comes to Kent State for Presidential Speaker Series
Posted Aug. 26, 2013Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, will speak at the third Kent State University Presidential Speaker Series on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. in the Kent Student Center Ballroom.
This free, ticketed event is open to the public. For general admission tickets, visit http://kentstate.universitytickets.com beginning Monday, Aug. 26. Tyson's appearance is sponsored by Kent State's College of Arts and Sciences and the Division of Research and Sponsored Programs.
"It's great that we're bringing Neil deGrasse Tyson to Kent State," said Kent State President Lester A. Lefton. "He is such a brilliant scientist who makes science exciting, interesting and fun. I know our students, employees and the public will enjoy his presentation."
Tyson was born and raised in New York City where he was educated in the public schools clear through his graduation from the Bronx High School of Science. Tyson went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts in physics from Harvard University and his Ph.D. in astrophysics from Columbia University.
Tyson's professional research interests are broad, but include star formation, exploding stars, dwarf galaxies and the structure of our Milky Way.
In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Tyson to serve on a 12-member commission that studied the future of the U.S. aerospace industry. The final report was published in 2002 and contained recommendations (for Congress and for the major agencies of the government) that would promote a thriving future of transportation, space exploration and national security.
In 2004, Tyson was once again appointed by President Bush to serve on a nine-member commission on the implementation of the United States Space Exploration Policy, dubbed the Moon, Mars and Beyond commission. This group navigated a path by which the new space vision can become a successful part of the American agenda. Then in 2006, the head of NASA appointed Tyson to serve on its prestigious Advisory Council, which will help guide NASA through its perennial need to fit its ambitious vision into its restricted budget.
In addition to dozens of professional publications, Tyson has written, and continues to write for the public. From 1995 to 2005, Tyson was a monthly essayist for Natural History magazine under the title "Universe." Among Tyson's 10 books is his memoir "The Sky is Not the Limit: Adventures of an Urban Astrophysicist" and "Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution," co-written with Donald Goldsmith. "Origins" is the companion book to the PBS/NOVA four-part miniseries "Origins," in which Tyson served as on-camera host. The program premiered on Sept. 28 and 29, 2004.
Two of Tyson's recent books are the playful and informative "Death By Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries," which was a New York Times bestseller, and "The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet," chronicling his experience at the center of the controversy over Pluto's planetary status. The PBS/NOVA documentary "The Pluto Files," based on the book, premiered in March 2010.
For five seasons, beginning in the fall of 2006, Tyson appeared as the on-camera host of PBS/NOVA's spinoff program "NOVA ScienceNOW," which is an accessible look at the frontier of all the science that shapes the understanding of our place in the universe.
During the summer of 2009, Tyson identified a stable of professional standup comedians to assist his effort in bringing science to commercial radio with the National Science Foundation-funded pilot program StarTalk. Now also a podcast, StarTalk Radio combines celebrity guests with informative yet playful banter. The target audience is all those people who never thought they would, or could, like science.
Tyson is the recipient of 18 honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest award given by NASA to a non-government citizen. His contributions to the public appreciation of the cosmos have been recognized by the International Astronomical Union in its official naming of asteroid 13123 Tyson. On the lighter side, Tyson was voted Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive by People Magazine in 2000.
In February 2012, Tyson released his 10th book, containing every thought he has ever had on the past, present and future of space exploration: "Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier." Currently, Tyson is working on a 21st century reboot of Carl Sagan's landmark television series "Cosmos" to air in 13 episodes on the Fox network in the spring of 2014.
Tyson is the first occupant of the Frederick P. Rose Directorship of the Hayden Planetarium. Tyson lives in New York City with his wife and two children.
The Kent State Presidential Speaker Series seeks to bring high-profile, world-renowned experts to Kent State for serious, thought-provoking discussions and conversations. The program enhances the engagement of the world beyond Kent State's campuses, which is one of the university's strategic goals.

Wells Fargo, the industry leader in electronic banking, has implemented a Balanced Scorecard in its online financial services group (OFS) to track and measure performance. The OFS group develops and supports services that allow existing and future banking customers to perform transactions via the Internet. The new division faces rapid change and must invest heavily in new technology and in the development of innovative products and services. OFS was finding it difficult to balance the need for a clearly articulated strategy and measurable objectives with the flexibility required in its dynamic environment. Wells Fargo had a culture that embraced financial metrics. Yet OFS management believed that its business could not be measured and evaluated on the basis of financial metrics alone. For example, the group was not yet profitable, yet it provided a critical component to the bank's long-term strategy. The OFS group believed that the Balanced Scorecard would allow them to develop a set of integrated, multidimensional measures to assess performance against its goals and to communicate and update its strategy in a rapidly changing environment.
learning objective:
To enable students to explore the role of the Balanced Scorecard measurement system in an entrepreneurial, rapidly growing, technology-intensive business. To use information about the operations and economic drivers of the online financial services (OFS) business at Wells Fargo to develop a Balanced Scorecard for OFS.

Balanced scorecard; Banks; Change management; Commercial banks; Entrepreneurs; Entrepreneurship; Execution; Finance; Financial engineering; Financial intermediaries; Internet; Metrics; Performance management; Performance measurement; Social responsibility; Strategy; Technology; Valuation; Web technology; Work environments
