The Masa Israel Experience
Discovering Internships in the "Start-Up Nation"
Discovering Internships in the "Start-Up Nation"
Mai 26, 2011
Launched in 2006, AllMyFaves.com, a Tel Aviv-based startup that seeks to simplify Internet navigation, only recently began accepting Masa Israel interns, and co-founder Shachar Pessis regrets waiting so long.
"It's very inspiring to work with non-Israelis because they provide different global perspectives," says Pessis. "Also, interns are especially valuable for startups because they offer the startup the opportunity of increasing their work force at no additional cost."
This past year, All My Faves accepted two interns—recent college graduates from India and Argentina—who have helped the company break into international markets by providing their local insights. Though the startup did not initially plan on pursuing an Argentinean following, the Argentinean intern made this a possibility.
Aside from the benefits that All My Faves has reaped from the interns, Pessis believes that internships at
Israeli startups provide the best professional experience for recent college graduates
. "At startups, interns can experience what it means to create something from nothing—and all the challenges and accomplishments that go along with that," says Pessis. "This definitely beats having a very small role in a large and established company."
Next year, Pessis is looking forward to accepting another two interns, who he will train and then empower to leave their mark in Israel. "They help us make better business decisions and it's inspiring for us to help Jewish young adults get significant career experience here in the 'start-up nation,'" says Pessis.

Photocurable Composite with Antimicrobial Activity for Wound-Healing | |
Authors: | M.-H. Chang, F.-C. Ding, W.-Y. Ju, P.S. Lai |
Affilation: | National Chung Hsing University, TW |
Pages: | 287 - 290 |
Keywords: | antimicrobial, wound dressing, photocurable |
Abstract: | To develop an appropriate approach that can accelerate the wound healing rate or prevent other microorganisms contamination is necessary for wound healing. In this study, the combination of antimicrobial activity and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy of photocurable wound dressing for wound healing were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The wound dressing with photocurable gelatin /chitosan/methylene blue mixed solution could be formed fast after UV light irradiation. The antimicrobial activity and bacteriostasis efficiency of this photocurable composite were evaluated by colony assay and disc agar diffusion method, respectively. The best composition of photocurable composite on bacteriostasis efficiency (around 13 mm) was chosen to further study the wound-healing in microorganism (Staphylococcus aureus) infected wounds. After UV light irradiation, film-liked wound dressing was formed to protect wounds from other microorganism contaminations. In contrast, untreated group needed three days to reach the similar scab level. Moreover, a better appearance of wounds on the dorsal of mice could be observed on photocruable wound dressing group after 13 days. These results suggested that the photocurable composite may not only exhibit good antimicrobial activity but show the potential to be an ideal wound dressing for wound healing. |

So, in order to help you reach this goal, we are going to offer you this:
RunOregon will provide pacers at the 2011 Twilight 5k scheduled for Saturday, June 25, running at the correct pace to finish just under 30:00. If you stick with our pacers at the 9:39 pace, you will also finish under 30:00!
We know it's not going to be easy, so we promise to dress up in fun outfits and keep you entertained the whole time; however you will have to do the hard work yourself.
You have a full month to prepare - start out easy: twice a week, increase your pace to a 9:39 mile for just a half mile for the first week. The second week, try running that pace for a full mile once a week and half mile once a week. Three weeks from now, run that pace for a full mile during two of your runs. The week before the race, increase that distance at the 9:39 pace to 2.5 miles ... if you can do that, you can most definitely earn a sub-30 5k finish!
To figure your pace, the easiest thing to do is to go to a track. A 9:39 mile translates to about a 4:47 half mile or 2:23 to make one loop around the track.
Here's info on the 2011 Twilight 5k and how you sign up for the race:
When: Saturday, June 25, 2011
What time: 6:30p
Where: Cook Park
Register: By June 13th online here for $26; afterwards including DOR it's $30. Remember, the first 400 registrants get the Nike Dri-Fit shirt!
To run with the 30-minute pacers, all you need to do is find us at the start of the race. (We'll be the ones in the festive running skirts and I'll try to make time to create a sign.) The Twilight 5k is chip-timed, so as long as you start with us you can use the pacers as sort of a moving time clock on the course.
Of course, we'd love it if you'd also RSVP on our facebook page, where you'll be able to talk to other RunOregon readers and maybe even find someone to train with!

Your Friends Won't Tell You—But Your Editor Will
Posted by Jim Harrington under advice, Process, rejection, Sarah Crysl Akhtar, strategy
[7] Comments
by Sarah Crysl Akhtar
There's a lot of disdain these days for traditional publishing. Unknown writers look at the odds, and then at the alternatives, and are increasingly tempted to self-publish.
There are plenty of springy-looking platforms to leap off of. Anyone willing to invest a little money and a lot of time can start marketing their own work.
Should you bite that apple?
What's so great about brick and mortar publishers, anyway?
Web-based publishers have cut overhead to the bone and many of them are marvelous. They've created a reader's paradise. Even the cheapest paperbacks are largely unaffordable to people on limited budgets. But an e-book can be less expensive than a cup of coffee from the corner deli.
And web-based writers' groups help fledgling authors build supportive audiences and markets for their work. You can be in the midst of a thriving artistic community no matter where you live.
But one of the fruits of a healthy community is a sort of self-censorship. It's not dishonesty, but rather the desire not to wound. If we all said everything we thought, with absolute truth, all the time, life would become unbearable.
And writers' circles or critique groups tend to form around people of similar levels of achievement. Everyone's growing together. And everyone hopes for success, for themselves and their colleagues. There's a powerful fellowship of encouragement.
This Eden needs a serpent.
I have never joyfully welcomed the email saying "there's a slight problem with your story." Seriously. Would I have sent it in if I thought it wasn't ready?
It took me well over a year to skip the mental hyper-ventilating and get straight to revising, whenever a rewrite request arrived. I can still feel my head lowering mutinously as I read any criticism of my work.
But most of the editors I've worked with have helped me strengthen my own voice. Sometimes I don't accede to every single suggestion, but I have never declined to revise a story, when requested.
That was a mistake in only one instance, but I knew at the time I was going for publication rather than the purity of my artistic vision, so to speak. So I take full responsibility for that.
Your mastery of craft is constantly growing. I'm pretty confident in my own gifts, now, but even so, it startles me to see how a beginning story from a couple of months ago, say, will seem awfully lacking today. I'll need to rework those first few paragraphs before I can go any further.
When you self-publish, you have few brakes on that giddy road towards becoming a fine author. There's an enticing tidbit that people like to munch on—the lists of successful authors showing how many times clueless agents and publishers turned them down, before they signed their first book contract.
Yes, it is true that genius is not always recognized in a timely way by the minions born to serve it. It's true that very fine writers are rejected every day, and that self-publishing can be a midwife to works that truly deserve to see the light of day.
It can also make a name for you that you might wish you could escape, later. Maybe you've got great potential now but you're not quite there yet. Maybe in a year or two or five, undaunted by rejection, you'll have found that remarkable voice you always knew was inside.
Or maybe you published before you should have, and you had a brief exciting moment of seeing your stuff offered on Amazon, with wonderful reviews by everyone you know, and you never got any better than you were at that moment.
Don't just believe the people who like you, and care about you, and want you to succeed. Think about why some of those people who'd love to have discovered the next new great talent are saying you're not ready yet.
Sarah Crysl Akhtar's shtetl forebears gifted her with the genes that impel her to make much from little. So of course she writes flash fiction, cultivates orchards on her windowsill and bakes fabulous shortbread. Her son gives her what's immeasurable–the best of all possible worlds. Less miraculous fruit of her labors has appeared on Every Day Fiction, Flash Fiction Online, 365tomorrows and Perihelion SF Magazine.

Highlights from Mark Dantonio during Tuesday's press confrerence:
On the win at Iowa giving his offense more confidence: "Well, you hope so. We said all along, I really felt all along that when our offense makes some plays, confidence is going to breed confidence and things are going to flourish. I think you saw some of that start to happen last week. Was it perfect? No. It wasn't perfect. We could have done better. But that other football team has got players, too. ?

Gas-phase methylation of [60]Fullerene
Vieira, S. M. C., Drewello, T., Kotsiris, S. G., Rego, C. A. and Birkett, P. R.. (2007) Gas-phase methylation of [60]Fullerene. Journal of Physical Chemistry B, Vol.111 (No.35). pp. 10352-10356. ISSN 1520-6106

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp0733623
Direct methylation of [60]fullerene via a gas-phase reaction in a CH4/H-2 atmosphere was performed using a modified hot filament chemical vapor deposition method. Pressures were varied from 10 to 60 mbar and the substrate was maintained at 690 degrees C. High-resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry analysis showed signals corresponding to C60H18-2n(H,CH3)(n). Collision-induced dissociation experiments confirmed a maximum of 18 ligands possible to the [60]fullerene cage.

Lot | Sym. | Lot Description | Est/Cat | Realized |
34 | 1c Blue, Ty. Ib (5A). Position 6R1E, large margins including part of adjoining stamp at bottom, barely in at top left, bright Plate 1 Early color, tied by black grid cancel, red "Chicago Ill. Jul. 25" circular datestamp on 1851 printed circular to Detroit Mich., light vertical file folds well away from stamp VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ib PAYING THE CIRCULAR RATE DURING THE FIRST MONTH OF ISSUE. Position 6R1E, along with Position 8R1E, yield the two best examples of the scarce Type Ib. The stamp offered here is interesting in that it also shows part of the top margin of the position below it, 16R1E. The spacing between the first and second row on Plate 1E was so narrow that the top portion of the design of 16R1E practically overlaps the position above. The stamp offered here is an excellent illustration of this characteristic of the plate. Ex Hind (where acquired by the Halls in that 1933 auction). (Image Magnifier) |
3,000 |
35 | 1c Blue, Ty. Ib (5A). Position 3R1E, bright Plate 1E color, large margins all around except just barely touched at upper right, tied by well-struck "Auburn N.Y. Nov. 17" circular datestamp on folded printed circular for land warrants to Rock City Mills N.Y. VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL USAGE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ib PAYING THE CIRCULAR RATE. Signed Ashbrook. With 1983 P.F. certificate (Image Magnifier) |

36 | 1c Blue, Ty. Ia (6). Position 97R4, with curl in "C" of "Cent", three large margins including part of adjoining stamp at left, in at bottom, original gum which is only lightly hinged, deep rich Plate 4 color, sharp proof-like impression clearly shows the variety VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT TYPE Ia IMPERFORATE. ESPECIALLY RARE WITH THE CURL IN "C" OF "CENT" VARIETY. The Curl in "C" of "Cent" variety was caused by a thread adhering to the relief on the transfer roll. This also caused the Curl on Shoulder variety on Position 97L4. The Curl in "C" variety was used by Neinken on p. 275 of his 1c book as additional proof that the same relief was used to enter the 6th and 10th rows of the plate. Neinken states that the thread attached itself to the relief on the transfer roll after Position 57R4 was entered. The variety is then found on Position 97R4 (the position offered here and the first position to receive this variety) and also on Positions 56R4, 96R4, 55R4 and 95R4. The thread either dropped off or was removed after entry of 95R4, as 54R4, the next position to be entered from this relief, does not show the variety. With 1978 and 1995 P.F. certificates (Image Magnifier) |
21,000 |
37 | 1c Blue, Ty. Ia (6). Position 98L4, large to huge margins, dark Plate 4 color, tied by single neat strike of "New-York May 6" circular datestamp -- leaving the Type Ia characteristics at bottom completely unobscured -- on circular rate cover to West Cornwall Conn. EXTREMELY FINE STAMP AND ATTRACTIVE FRESH COVER. ONE OF THE FEW COVERS IN EXISTENCE BEARING A SUPERB 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia IMPERFORATE STAMP. Type Ia was furnished by only eighteen of the 1,000 plate positions that produced imperforate 1c 1851 stamps. These eighteen bottom-row positions have the complete bottom die design. As serious collectors know, sound four-margin examples of the 1c 1851 Type Ia are rare. Only a handful of Extremely Fine examples are known on covers, although they currently do not command much of a premium over comparable off-cover stamps. As more of today's stamp collectors develop an interest in classic covers, we expect to see greater appreciation of a cover such as this one, which graced the important collections formed by Caspary, Lehman, Grunin and Zoellner. With 1998 P.F. certificate (Image Magnifier) |

This 20c rate paid only the U.S. postage, including the packet charges, and the balance of foreign postage was collected from the addressee.

Title: | Collaborative Linguistic Fieldwork: Practical Application of the Empowerment Model |
Author: | Yamada, Racquel-Maria |
Date: | 2007-12-17 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | Yamada, Racquel-Maria. 2007. Collaborative linguistic fieldwork: Practical application of the empowerment model. Language Documentation & Conservation 1(2): 257–282. |
Abstract: | Academic linguists working to document and describe minoritized and endangered languages share with speech community members a devotion to the language of study. For the academic, language provides a window into cognition and the capacity of the human mind. For the speech community member, language represents cultural heritage and, for many, a tie to place and a sense of identity. Both parties have a vested interest in the documentation, description, and preservation of lesser-spoken languages as a way to perpetuate global linguistic and cultural diversity and maintain ties to heritage. Many who conduct linguistic fieldwork with endangered languages have noted that the needs and desires of the speech community are often subordinated in favor of those of the academic linguist. Some academics fear that time spent meeting community needs diminishes the field-worker's academic productivity. This paper describes several collaborative, community-based projects that address the needs of both academics and the speech community, using case-study examples from the author's own fieldwork with a Kari'nja community in Suriname. In discussing each project, emphasis is given to practical methods of meeting needs of both the academic and speech communities, and to how this ensures more balanced participation of each in the linguistic fieldwork endeavor. |

Bio From AllMusic.Com
Born to Jamaican parents in South Wimbledon, London, on January 14, 1965, Ricky Walters was blinded by broken glass as an infant and took to wearing an eyepatch from an early age. He emigrated with his family to the Bronx in the late '70s and attended the La Guardia High School of Music & Art, where he became friends with future rapper Dana Dane. The two formed the Kangol Crew, and began performing in hip-hop battles around the city. At one 1984 battle in the Bronx, Rick met Doug E. Fresh, and began playing with his Get Fresh Crew (which also included Chill Will and Barry Bee). Fresh's number four R&B hit, "The Show," exploded just one year later, and MC Ricky D. � as Rick was then known � leaped to a solo contract two years later, after an acquaintance with Russell Simmons led to his signing to Def Jam Records, the biggest label in hip-hop at the time.
Slick Rick recorded his debut record, The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick, and released the album in 1988. "Treat Her like a Prostitute" became a sensation on the streets but R&B radio stations were understandably reluctant to play the track; instead, they pushed his duet with Al B. Sure!, "If I'm Not Your Lover," and it made number two in 1989. "Children's Story" hit the R&B Top Five that same year, but early in 1990, Slick Rick was arrested after shooting at his cousin � who allegedly harassed Rick's mother � and leading police on a high-speed cruise. Before his sentencing, 21 songs were recorded and hastily released as The Ruler's Back. The album failed to move at all, though Rick's confession track "I Shouldn't Have Done It" scraped the R&B charts later in 1991. Featured in the rap documentary The Show (released in 1995) � in a segment where Russell Simmons actually visits the prison � Slick Rick was released on a work program in 1996, although his Behind Bars album appeared in 1994. Art Of Storytelling was issued in 1999, an artistically successful comeback that paired him with MC's like OutKast and Snoop Dogg but did more the emphasize his talents as a solo artist.
While performing live on a Florida cruise ship in the summer of 2002, INS officials seized the rapper and brought him to a prison. Although the organization had unsuccessfully been trying to deport Rick since 1991, they finally appealed enough times to get the Board of Immigration Appeals to make a ruling in favor of sending him back to England. Although his wife, children, and parents are all American citizens, the fact that Rick was born in England is enough of a technicality to warrant his deportation. The situation was even more frustrating because of the INS's insistance on deporting the rapper, spending more than ten years trying to send him back despite the ridiculous circumstances surrounding the situation. His parents had lived in London because of their job situation, and moved him back to the United States at the age of 11. He had never bothered to change his citizenship because of the young age at which he had been relocated. Held in prison through the end of the year, famous friends like Russell Simmons and Will Smith attempted to help his cause but he was continually refused bail. - John Bush

Slick Rick foreshadowed and epitomized the pimpster attitude of many rappers during the late '80s and early '90s, with gold chains, his trademark eye-patch, and recordings that were no less misogynistic � "Treat Her Like a Prostitute," for example, became an underground hit in 1988, though it was justly criticized for its view of women. His 1989 album, The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick, was a certified-platinum classic, but before he could record a follow-up, Slick Rick was arrested for attempted murder. Out on bail thanks to Def Jam Records' label head Russell Simmons, Rick recorded The Ruler's Back in three weeks and released the album in 1991. After his release from prison two years later, he recorded Behind Bars for a 1994 release.

The NAVEX Global-sponsored 2012 SCCE (Ethics & Compliance Industry) Salary Survey was released this week (download report). In the executive summary, SCCE CEO Roy Snell highlights the necessity that the broader industry has solid compensation data at-hand to meet the growing need for skilled compliance professionals. The results equip SCCE members and their employers with the relevant and timely data to understand and evaluate elements of compliance professionals' compensation packages.
In contrast to other similar surveys – which include data from those who simply have "compliance" in their titles and do not manage a comprehensive compliance program – this survey is unique and more accurate because it focuses on people who manage multiple risk areas and/or active elements of a compliance program, contends Snell.
The survey is designed to allow organizations and individuals to compare their salary to their peers. It contains compensation data retrieved from more than 400 chief compliance officers from across a broad swathe of industries during the fourth quarter of 2012. These CCO's were specifically chosen based on qualifying criteria (employed by a non-healthcare provider, responsible for at least seven of the ten elements of a compliance program and responsible for at least 26% of an organization's legal and regulatory risk).
The results highlight several correlations between common salary-determining factors (company size, employee count and years in management), and also provides a more comprehensive overview of the survey data – from which we've pulled a few key findings:
Average CCO Salary by Industry:
Average CCO Salary by Organization Type:
Average CCO Salary by Annual Compliance Budget Managed:
The results are not surprising in some aspects – that pharmaceutical/biotech CCOs make the most, they arguably have been around the longest – what stands out is the lack of monetary support for financial services CCOs, especially in comparison with traditionally lower-paying industries like higher education. Is there a correlation between the importance of the role within the industry and the CCO salary in that case? The recession might point us in that direction, but further study would be required.
What's most important to NAVEX Global is that we're able to provide a salary resource for those we work with most.
To download the complete survey, please visit this link, or register for the SCCE webinar on March 4, 2013 (10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET) for an in-depth review of the findings. Our Ethical Leadership Group President, Carrie Penman, will be co-presenting.

Will There Be Another 'N Sync Reunion? Joey Fatone Says… — Exclusive
If you were a die-hard 'N Sync fan back in the day, then the 2013 MTV VMA reunion performance was a gift sent from the Boy Band God. Yet, despite the built-up anticipation (it wasn't really a well-kept secret), fans were ultimately let down when the reunion only lasted about two minutes. The heartache! But now that everyone had a taste of what it would be like if the former boy band of bleached hair and cornrows were to return, fans are getting antsy for another comeback. But before you get too excited, Wetpaint Entertainment recently caught up with Joey Fatone in New York City to get the inside scoop on whether 'N Sync will ever have another VMA moment.
"I have absolutely no idea. [It's] that kind of thing [where] you never know what's going to happen," Joey explains. "People say 'never say never,' and we did the MTV VMAs [and] it was kind of fun. But you never know, and as of right now, no. Everyone is doing their own thing and kind of having their own fun, getting married, and planning weddings, so we'll see."
Did you hear that? We'll see. There's hope! But it looks like a comeback isn't the works for the time being. But there could be a reunion-of-sorts when it comes time to attend Lance Bass's wedding to longtime boyfriend Michael Turchin.
But as for that infamous two-minute long performance during the VMAs, Joey reveals that not only was it a "funny and very surreal" experience, but it took a minute for the guys to jump back into their old dance moves — especially Joey.
"It was like, 'Are we really actually doing this?' But then it comes back in your brain, it kind of just sinks in, and you just kind of remember how it was," he says.
"Literally when we got together in the studio to do it, and we thought, 'Oh, we're just going to sing.'

shooting through drywall
I did a quick video shooting various SD ammunition through drywall for my club in an attempt to hopefully settle some discussion, but I think its going to ferment more opinions.
At 12 yards the birdshot through the Rem 870 opened up too much and took out the "wall". Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqETMARQ8xk |

Can you summarize your results? Without a summary, this thread may be closed by the mods for being a drive-by. Also, a summary would help those of us on mobile connections who don't want to load a YouTube video.

Summary: all ammo used went through 4 sheets of drywall.
This is essentially what the "Box Of Truth" website showed. The one thing I wonder about is how angled shots perform as opposed to shooting solely from 90 degrees. At 45 degrees or less the thickness of the drywall is almost doubled, the odds you'd hit a stud (placed every 16") are greater, and there could possibly be a more pronounced tumble from some bullets. |

great suggestion! The next round of tests will involve angles and greater distances. BTW, I'll be uploading a wrap up discussion video this week.
No drive by's here, just trying to give back to the firearms community. |

Any chance you can try out frangibles? Do they live up to the claims? |

True Frangible ammo will NOT come apart unless it hits something harder then itself. It is designed to reduce to dust on impact with steel tgts and backstops in shoothouses
Constructed of powder compressed into shape it allows you to shoot without risk of ricochet. In anything softer it acts as a solid projectile |

Originally published on Advocate.com March 24 2011 9:00 AM ET
The Human Rights Campaign PAC will hold a reception Thursday night in New York City to honor U.S. senator Susan Collins of Maine for her instrumental leadership to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
Last December the moderate Republican from Maine sponsored the stand-alone "don't ask, don't tell" repeal bill with independent U.S. senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. Seven other Republicans joined her in voting for repeal, which passed the Senate by a vote of 65 to 31.
Collins, who is up for reelection in 2014, also is the lead Republican sponsor of the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act, which would provide the same-sex domestic partners of federal employees with the benefits currently limited to different-sex spouses.
The New York Post's Page Six reports on the fund-raiser to be held at the Manhattan home of investment banker Paul Beirne. An invitation obtained by The Advocate shows that the bipartisan host committee also includes former Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman; Mario J. Palumbo Jr., president of the board of directors of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center of New York; HRC national board of directors cochair Rebecca Tillet and board of governors member Patty Ellis; and many others.
The event occurs as advocates seek at least three Republican votes for the marriage equality bill in the New York state senate. Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to push for a vote on the bill by June, but no Republican senator yet publicly supports the measure, which failed the chamber by a 38-24 vote in 2009.
Asked for comment about the fundraiser, Brian Ellner, senior strategist for HRC in New York, said, "Eight Republicans in the U.S. Senate came through for us on 'don't ask, don't tell' repeal. Susan Collins was especially instrumental. Hopefully Republicans in the New York state senate will do the same on marriage equality later this spring."
Advocates already have demonstrated their ability to defeat three incumbent New York senators who voted against the marriage equality bill. The salute to Collins, for which entry costs $500 and up, shows their willingness to be generous to allies too.

People with pre-diabetes may have IFG or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or both.
In the current study, researchers did not assess the prevalence of IGT because an oral glucose tolerance test was not a part of the survey.
People with pre-diabetes can often prevent or delay diabetes if they lose a modest amount of weight by cutting calories in their diet and increasing physical activity (for example, walking 30 minutes a day 5 days a week). A major study of people with IGT has shown that lifestyle changes leading to a 5 to 7 percent weight loss lowered diabetes onset by 58 percent.
If you are over age 45, you should consult your health care provider about testing for pre-diabetes or diabetes. If you are younger than 45, overweight, and have another risk factor, you should ask about testing. You are at greater risk of developing pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes if you:

For those companies who pay attention to the always evolving regulatory environment as we do at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, you have likely heard the debate regarding the validity of rules promulgated by organizations with recess appointments at their head. To that end, you have likely questioned whether you need to follow the rules laid out by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) as its director, Richard Cordray, was a recess appointment. The answer is absolutely "YES."
The CFPB is continuing to publish and enforce its own rules and regulations and will not be deterred by political infighting. Most recently, the CFPB met its January 21, 2013, deadline for issuing new mortgage rules. On February 13, 2013, the CFPB published how it intends to implement those new rules. Companies have until June 2013 and/or January 2014 to meet the deadlines and will likely need every month to implement the significant systematic changes.

Title: | Two New Species of Spiochaetopterus (Polychaeta: Chaetopteridae) from Okinawa, Japan, with Notes on Pacific Spiochaetopterus |
Author: | Nishi, Eijiroh; Bhaud, Michel |
Date: | 2000-01 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | Nishi E, Bhaud M. 2000. Two new species of Spiochaetopterus (Polychaeta: Chaetopteridae) from Okinawa, Japan, with notes on Pacific Spiochaetopterus. Pac Sci 54(1): 15-26. |
Abstract: | Two new species of Spiochaetopterus are described from recently
collected material from sandy substrates at Bise Beach and Sesoko Island in northern Okinawa, southern Japan. These two new species, Spiochaetopterus okinawaensis and S. sesokoensis, are similar in body size but differ with respect to presence or absence of eyes, bilobed or unilobed Bl neuropodia, and morphology of the specialized modified A4 chaeta. In S. okinawaensis there are oculate spots on the lateral side of the prostomium, neuropodia of segment B1 are unilobed but those on the other segments are bilobed, and the tube lacks periodic rings. There are no oculate spots in S. sesokoensis; all the neuropodia of the B segments are bilobed, including Bl; and the ventral gland in the anterior A region lacks a pale white crescent. |

Nice work by Stew and the USU schedulers!! the SEC has been on a recent downturn but nevertheless getting USC and Mississippi St. to come to Logan is quite an accomplishment. The Cougs and the Utes will be hard pressed to match that for lining up non-conference opponents to come to the Marriott Center and the Huntsman Center respectively.

" The Cougs and the Utes will be hard pressed

Center and the Huntsman Center respectively."
The truth is Utah
State is in the most relevant basketball conference in the state. I was a bit
surprised when Stew wanted a tough non-conference schedule but I understand his
logic. The Spectrum is a great pitch for good recruits to come to Utah State,
but now they can say that we play the likes of USC and SEC teams there. Utah
State will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years in recruiting for
the state. I'll give the slight edge to BYU in basketball recruiting for
the state, but with Utah State being in the best basketball conference in the
state that edge is swindling Utah State's way.

well aggiealum - the MWC still mostly failed when it counted last year and was outperformed by the PAC-12 in NCAA tournament play. MWC went 2-5 with 2 teams advancing to round of 32 and Pac-12 went 5-5 with 2 teams advancing to the round of 16. So although the MWC is an upgrade over the WCC, its got its work cut out for it in continuing to go up against the PAC-12. But regardless, things are looking up for USU and their fans.

Yes Stang, Mississippi State is a team constantly at the top of the SEC West,
and USC could have a good year. I think any of those teams would have loved to
have some of the talent we've had in Logan in the past 6 years like Jaycee,
Tai, Brady, Brian Green, and Spencer Butterfield. I'm willing to bet Pooh
Williams,Tyler Newbold, and Preston Medlin could have made both teams.
Which of these players do you not wish played for SUU? (For basketball
reasons, I'm not interested in any personal grievance you have against any
of these guys)

Now why would any of those teams love to have some of the
aggie talent when they are winning BCS bowls and National Championships and USU
is just winning the Potato Bowl? That should tell you right there that the SEC
and Pac12 are very different worlds from the WAC 2.0 shouldn't it? We
didn't need them. Sure our record wasn't what people wish it would be
but we didn't need those guys. After all, one of those players you
meantioned had his carrer end after playing SUU. And if they were as good as
you claim then why haven't you ever won a first round match of the NCAA
tournament? Sure sure my guys have never been there but when it comes to making
it and losing after only one game you guys are the kings.

FYI Stew Morril...the BCS has nothing to do with college basketball. And I would hope you could win most of your games when you play 9 of 12 at home against powder puff teams like San Diego Christian, Utah Valley and others. Maybe I would be more interested to go watch these games if the USC and Miss. St football teams were coming. Until you can bring in some quality opponents and have a real schedule, don't count on me watching your games.

You are right. THis is about basketball. And when did you beat Ohio State 1652? Oh I'm sorry basketball didn't exist then. Which is exactly why USU would've won a first round match. The point is, in recent memory they haven't won. In recent memory if they've made it to the dance they've just been a small bump in the road for a much bigger, stronger, and overall better team. Do you dispute that VAggie? And in 1652 when you beat Ohio State, who beat you in the second round?

- 1. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, broth, mustard and honey until smooth; add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- 2. Return chicken to the pan. Add the broccoli, carrot and onion. Sprinkle with cayenne. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 7-8 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Yield: 8 servings.

Larrissa Libby's UI women's gymnastics team score a perfect 100 on its GSR...again. |
Oct. 30, 2010
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Four University of Iowa teams scoring a perfect 100, the baseball team besting the national average by 25 points and the UI football establishing a program high were some of the highlights of the NCAA's annual Graduation Success Rate report released earlier this week.
The UI's women's basketball, field hockey, golf and women's gymnastics programs all received perfect scores of 100 in the GSR, the NCAA's measure of academic success. The perfect score by Larissa Libby's gymnastics squad marked the fifth straight year of perfection for the Hawkeyes. It was the second straight perfect score for Lisa Bluder's women's basketball program.
The Iowa baseball team's GSR of 95 was 25 points better than the national average for NCAA Division I baseball programs (70). And, the GSR of 79 registered by the Iowa football program was 12 points higher than the national average for its peer group (67) and an all-time high for the program.
The Hawkeyes' GSR also compared very favorably with other teams ranked in this week's Bowl Championship Series standings. Iowa, the No. 18 team in that elite list, ranked third behind Stanford (GSR of 86 percent, 13th in this week's BCS) and Miami, Fla. (81 and 22, respectively).
Iowa's cumulative GSR - the average for all 24 sports at the UI - was 84, a mark that bested the national average by five points.
"As always, the credit goes first to our student-athletes for their commitment to the academic piece of their experience at the University of Iowa."
Gary Barta
Director of Athletics |
"As always, the credit goes first to our student-athletes for their commitment to the academic piece of their experience at the University of Iowa," said Gary Barta, the UI's director of athletics.
"Then, of course, our coaching staff and our academic support staff need to be commended for their contributions and hard work. We take seriously our commitment to the academic success of our student-athletes at the UI and this report reflects that commitment."
The NCAA uses its own formula to calculate the graduation success rates of Division I athletes. The figures are different from the graduation rates calculated by the U.S. Department of Education. Both provide students a six-year window to graduate. However, the NCAA does not penalize institutions when student-athletes transfer to other colleges, as long as they depart in good academic standing.
In addition, the NCAA's GSR calculation subtracts students who are considered allowable exclusions (those who either die or become permanently disabled, those who leave the school to join the armed forces, foreign services or attend a church mission), as well as those who would have been academically eligible to compete had they returned to the institution.

Note regarding the women's tennis program at the UI: Consistent with NCAA practice per the Student Right-to-Know Act, any time a category of student-athletes containing cohort numbers includes only one or two student-athletes, the data in that category is suppressed so that no individual can be identified.

Spatial location of the farm households shapes farming practices and livelihoods of the farmers. Many socio-economic variables have strong spatial relations that would otherwise be missed by data aggregation at household level. Geographic Information System (GIS)provides display and analysis of socio-economic data that may be fundamental for many social scientists to understand socio-economic reality influenced by geographical position of the farm households. Present article aims at integrating socio-economic data into GIS environment to examine spatial relation in the resource availability and use employing spatial and random sampling techniques. Result demonstrates the variation in the socioeconomic attributes along the spatial gradient which is mainly related to the infrastructures such as road, market and improved agro-inputs. While households with better access to these infrastructures have tendency to use more agro-chemicals, have larger family, land holding and livestock units, better off-farm opportunities, commercial farming orientation and hence higher family income; opposite is true for the households with poor access to these infrastructures. Peri-urban farmlands, wherever agro-chemicals are applied imprudently, faces the problems of agro-ecological degradation while rural subsistence farming faces the problem of spatial poverty.
