Effective Determination of the Long-lived Nuclide 41Ca in Nuclear Reactor Bioshield Concretes: Comparison of Liquid Scintillation Counting and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
Warwick, P.E., Croudace, I.W. and Hillegonds, D.J. (2009) Effective Determination of the Long-lived Nuclide 41Ca in Nuclear Reactor Bioshield Concretes: Comparison of Liquid Scintillation Counting and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. Analytical Chemistry, 81, (5), 1901-1906. (doi:10.1021/ac802225a).
Full text not available from this repository.
The routine application of liquid scintillation counting to 41Ca determination has been hindered by the absence of traceable calibration standards of known 41Ca activity concentrations. The introduction of the new IRMM 41Ca mass-spectrometric standards with sufficiently high 41Ca activities for radiometric detection has partly overcome this although accurate measurement of stable Ca concentrations coupled with precise half-life data are still required to correct the certified 41Ca:40Ca ratios to 41Ca activity concentrations. In this study, 41Ca efficiency versus quench curves have been produced using the IRMM standard, and their accuracy validated by comparison with theoretical calculations of 41Ca efficiencies. Further verification of the technique was achieved through the analysis of 41Ca in a reactor bioshield core that had been previously investigated for other radionuclide variations. Calcium-41 activity concentrations of up to 25 Bq/g were detected. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements of the same suite of samples showed a very good agreement, providing validation of the procedure. Calcium-41 activity concentrations declined exponentially with distance from the core of the nuclear reactor and correlated well with the predicted neutron flux.

Great place!
Posted on 07 / 05 / 2014Went out on an early evening alone in Copenhagen. They have a rich buffet of raw salads, cooked food and cooked salads. Most items are vegan, everything has a tag with the ingredients, so also great for any other dietary restrictions! It's filling and plentiful for a fair price of 99DKK. When I went in the waitress wasn't sure what vegan was though, but we easily clarified that there was almost everything at the buffet - they also allow you to look at it before you decide.
Cons: lasagne not vegan

subset: commoncrawl

Chief, sportsfan probably won't be home before this game is over so he won't get to share his input in the game thread until much later. How about you lock the game thread immediately after the last recorded out to piss of sportsfan.
but still
Chief, in honor of the Caps run, I think you should change the obscenity filter.F bomb = puckb*tch = highsticksh!t = icingSomething like that. Theming the obscenity filter would be cool.
But then half of sportsfan's posts would be "Puck this icing." It should be something really amusing, like "Goose this widow." So I suggest using goose and widow.
No problem changing the substitutions: yours are better. But I want credit for the idea of theming the filter.
You know you want to Chief.
Wow AH/360/EZ or whatever the hell we call him now has really been great since being relieved of leadoff duties.
Their bullpen is simply dreadful. I will never again believe that we have the worst bullpen in baseball!
I was just thinking, I can't believe we've found a 'pen worse than the Nats'
And as Dibble said, day game after night game. They're going to be terrible tomorrow.

New study links mother's prenatal health to child's developmental delays
Study finds that a woman's diabetes, hypertension or obesity during pregnancy may increase her child's risk of autism and developmental problems.

You already know that your health and diet during pregnancy will directly affect your baby's health. But a new study is giving expecting mothers even more incentive to improve their prenatal health, linking a woman's health during pregnancy to her child's future risk for autism and developmental delays.
The study, from researchers at University of California, Davis's MIND (Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders) Institute found that a pregnant woman with diabetes, hypertension or obesity during pregnancy may increase her child's risk of autism and developmental problems later in life.
Researchers used data from a continuing case-control study of children in California to compare the children of healthy pregnant women with a body mass index under 25 to those whose mothers were obese or had diabetes during pregnancy. Their results, published in this month's Pediatrics, found that the children of obese or diabetic mothers had more than double the risk of impairments in language, motor and social skills, and a more than 50 percent greater risk of autism. When combined with diabetes and obesity, hypertension during pregnancy also increased the risk of these developmental disorders.
The UC Davis study controlled for race, ethnicity, education and other factors and included 517 children with autism, 172 with developmental delays and 415 healthy controls.

….are on the menu for our homecoming night. I'm too overcome with emotion to say much besides thank you.
She will need surgery within a couple of weeks but she looks great. I have never been happier or more relieved. Vicodin has nothing on this.
Welcome to the world sweet girl. It's a better place with you here.

Just…tremendous. Congratulations. Kisses….
Congrats on your little girl. i hope the cyst continues to look and be unremarkable. I almost shit my pants when they refused to let me hold my son until after a cardiologist did an echo cardiogram. I only had like 57 ultrasounds and no one picked up a problem before hand? All turned out well and I wish the same for you
Hooray, hooray, hooray!! Welcome home! Now smooch those gorgeous baby cheeks for me, okay? Lots of love and hugs to all of you.

Chinese food…yum.
I'm so pleased to hear everyone is happy and healthy.
Oh yay! I've been obsessively watching Daver's facebook status waiting for an update. Champagne also goes great with tater tots in case the Chinese food doesn't work out. Congratulations again on your gorgeous girl!
skip the chinese and go right for the champagne…or tequila!
surgery to remove the cyst?? or (forgive my ignorance) will it fade/fall off on its own?
Aw Becky … I'm so relieved that Amelia's going to be okay. I'll still keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers and send good vibes your way.

Fuckin'A Right!!! She's a Harks Baby!
I'm really proud of you, and so relieved.
Enjoy her and for the love of God, post a picture already.
Much Love
xoxo – Your internet niece, Kim
Surgery? Really?
I'm guessing it's nothing big since you're relieved, but still…
I hope everything is OK.
Very happy to read this! Way to be a fighter, Amelia! You've got a whole band of internet people cheering for you. And Becky? You are one strong Mama. Congrats to your whole family.
I am relieved to hear it!
I am so relieved and happy for you all…I'll drink some champagne (okay, maybe beer) and toast your blessings!
Woohoo!! Enjoy!
Ah, a sigh of relief from me! Congrats, Becky, congrats! Welcome Amelia to this place we call earth!
Becky, I'm so glad all is well… have been thinking about you guys so much for the past couple of days. Have a great first night at home with Amelia, bubbly, and Chinese food– you deserve it!
Hope you are having a great first night home. Please kiss Amelia for me. No tongue is necessary.
Wow, what a rollercoaster! So glad that she is well and you get to go home! Will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Good. Very good. Happy for you. Can't wait to see photos.
I think mommy needs more than vodka and egg rolls!
yikes. but all is well. I CANNOT wait to see photos of this beautiful child!
oh, new mommy love, I miss it so. I want to snuggle her and kiss her cheekies! Tell her I said, "HI!", k?
So glad all is okay, now you can rest and de-swell. Put your feet up and chill.
not to rush you or anything………but the internets (OK ME) are dying to see her gorgeous little face!
Thinking of you, and can't wait to see some pictures of your sweet baby girl!
YAY! xoxo
I am so happy that you're all home together and that everything is going to be okay.
Enjoy that champagne because no one deserves it more than you do right now.
Wonderful. Wow. Again, congratulations on your new arrival.
Whew. I'm happy to hear that she's able to go home with you. I will still continue prayers and good thoughts anyway, though. Hugs to you, Becky.
I *just* caught up on Amelia's story — I'm so sorry I'm late! I'm very glad to hear she's okay and that you're all doing well. Even though I'm a day late and a dollar short, I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. *love & hugs*
THAT is what I'm talkin' about. How wonderful for all 5 of you to be home together!
Great to hear you're coming home!
Brilliant news that you are all on your way home.
CONGRAGULATIONS!!!!! I'm so happy for you and the Davver! The siblings will just have to learn to deal with having a sister!
Sounds like you and the babe are being released today! Enjoy the champagne & Chinese food – and get enough of so you can have leftovers tomorrow.
Please post a picture of Amelia – when you can! -
Awesome news. Looking forward to seeing the new one!
Excellent news! I'm so happy for you all!
I'm exhaling now. And keeping you and Amelia in my thoughts. So glad she's finally here…
Great news!!!
Enjoy your champagne!
I'm so happy about the GREAT NEWS>
My prayers are with you & your family….. -
Fantastic news! So happy for you Becky, and your family. Hurray, hurray, hurray!
Just joining your loving and relieved ranks. Thinking very good thoughts for Amelia. BTW, you remember that Ted Danson Lifetime Movie: There's Something About Amelia? Is that what you named her after?
Been sending all of you love and prayers – delighted to see all is well and that you are heading home.
Blessings abound!
I'm relieved you're relieved. Enjoy your celebration.
Welcome home Amelia & Mommy!! -
Mmmmm, chinese….congrats girl, and welcome home!
Just an FYI: I left you an award at my place.
Continue enjoying Amelia
I'm so glad the news is good so far. My cousin had a daughter last year with a syst like that. It ended up being just brain fluid (no brain matter). They found it when she was pregnant, and had a lot of time to worry. It ended up fine. She had surgery when she was a few months old to fix it, and she just turned one in December. She is an adorable, smiling, wonderful baby. I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts and hoping for the same outcome for your Amelia!
Hey awesome!

Results from this school year's Wisconsin Student Assessment System show the Elmbrook School District continues to see improvement in math and reading for students.
The WSAS is a state-mandated, five-subject test taken by students in grades three to eight and 10. The assessment combines the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination and the Wisconsin Alternate Assessment for Students with Disabilities.
The test is administered every November and provides a basic measure of overall student success, with results falling into categories of minimal, basic, proficient and advanced. The district's scores dramatically exceeded the state average, with high percentages of Elmbrook students scoring proficient or advanced in math, reading, language arts, science and social studies.
For the 2013-14 school year, Elmbrook students in third- to eighth-grade and tenth-grade had an average of 78.4 percent of students scoring in the proficient and advanced range in Math and 56 percent in reading. The state's average was 47.7 percent in math and 35.7 percent in reading.
Elmbrook also saw an increase in student performance from the past two school years within the district.
More rigorous standards in the math and reading subjects were implemented into the WSAS two years ago and growth in those fields is a good sign, said Emily Greiber, director of data, assessment and continuous improvement.
"We're really excited about the growth, especially in reading and math," Greiber said. "It shows just how hard our staff and our students are working to move forward."
The WKCE program will be replaced statewide for the 2014-15 school year with the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium, a "more rigorous test" based on the Common Core State Standards, Greiber said.
"We feel like we're on the right track for SMARTER Balanced with these results," she added. "… Our teaching staff and students have risen to the challenge of increased expectations in reading and math and, as our literacy implementation deepens, we anticipate even greater results over the next few years."
Achievement results were also reported for Elmbrook's pre-defined, separate English Language Learners, who made gains in 2013-14 towards proficiency in both reading and math.
"Our ability to close gaps for our disaggregated groups is essential to meet our district's mission," Greiber said. "We hope to build off the momentum from our English Language Learners and reduce gaps with all student populations."
Data for Elmbrook and all other Wisconsin school districts can be found on the Department of Public Instruction's Wisconsin Information System for Education Data Dashboard at wisedash.dpi.wi.gov.

Seriously, when I first got word of this software, I was wondering what can I do with an application that helps me manage lists. I'm not much of a "manage my life using lists" person, but what I found really useful is the library of template of (some people will call it useless information) important / Interesting data, for instance the list of French Wines, or the Star Trek Voyager Episode guide and the very useful Shopping lists. I find these templates strangely useful, with the added support for images, the experience is pretty cool.
Here's what's new in version 5.0
They have versions for Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Smartphone, Palm OS and for the Desktop PC. Find out more here : http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.htm
My only feature request is to allow lists to be created or updated by importing RSS / OPML feeds. That way someone can maintain a list of Magic the Gathering card prices (for example) and have subscribers to this RSS feed get automatic updates for the prices.
Some might argue that you should use a database and webservices for that but then again, ListPro is for non-developer types who just want some order in their lives :)

Box Lot #2 Antique Vintage Mostly Silverplate Flatware 200 Pieces Some Serving For Sale
This is one of several flatware sales we currently have listed, some are mixed box lots, some are just of one particular pattern, and some are box lots of partial sets. They are mostly silver plate, but some chrome may have gotten in, and there are a few serving pieces in some. For each sale, the first photo is the whole lot for that sale, the rest of the photos are smaller groups from that pile, nothing was shown individually twice.
All box lots and flatware sets (which we also treat as box lots) are sold as is as found, no returns. Please read box lot info before offerding.
We are more than happy to combine shipping but international buyers keep in mind the maximum weight for a flat rate package is 20 pounds.
Please take the time to read all information that applies to you below. We are selling consigned items, we are not experts or collectors.offerding indicates you are OK with our system as explained below.
If you have any questions or need more photos, let us know (allowing time for answers please). Photos are part of the description and show all that is included.
Noreturns for any reason after 3 days from delivery, that gives you more than enoughtime to open and inspect your item(s).
FOR BOX LOTS OR LARGE LOTS:Box lots tend to get us in trouble sometimes because buyers do not read this section. Box lots are not described or inspected item by item and if getting a box lot with some items that are not working or that have damage we did not see is going to bother you but you offer anyway that is not a reason for a return, we make no guarantees on condition for box lots. The purpose of our box lots is to move larger quantities of items for our consignors, items that we would not be able to list in any other manner for a variety of reasons. Box lots allow us to list items that we would not otherwise list because their individual value would not be worth it, or because it would be too time consuming to list items individually, or because the fees would add up too fast, or because items are being sold for parts, or because we have no idea how to check or describe some items. We may not catch some damage because we truthfully are not looking for it closely, we don't know if everything works because we are not testing items, and we realize there is little or no information because we are not describing box lots, that is the nature of our box lots. Box lots have benefits for the buyers, you get a substantial shipping savings over buying items and paying for shipping one at a time, you get access to more of a variety of items we would not list otherwise, and sometimes you find a treasure in the mix! If you have a question on a particular item we will try to answer it. Photo or scrap albums, flatware sets, and other sales that contain many individual items are also considered box lots. If any of this is a problem for you then our box lots are probably not for you.
SHIPPING INFO: Specific packing requests need to be made before we pack the morning after the sale.Before we send an invoice we like to check Fed Ex and USPS regional rates to see if we can save some money that way - not all available choices show in the shipping calculator provides.Until an item is packed and weighed after the sale we are only estimating shipping costs. A reasonable fee is added to the exact shipping for all sales,this fee is based on and goes towards the insurance (all items are insured thru a third party insurer), and handling.
If a package is lost or arrives damaged our insurance requires the buyer to sign a claim statement. Do not throw out the original box or packing materials. It not likely it will need to be inspected but just in case! We only ship to the address that is on the PayPal payment, and it needs to be confirmed or verified. Somepackages are not scanned along the way, that does not mean your package was not shipped. Items shippedmedia mailthat are rejected by the post office on the buyers end may require the buyer to pay additional shipping for parcel post. Since you would have had to pay that anyway if we had used parcel post,the additional expense is not our responsibility and will not be reimbursed. Use of media mail for magazines or catalogs is at your own risk so parcel post is recommended for those items.
COMBINED SHIPPING:We combine shipping whenever possible. Sometimes the savings is substantial, sometimes it is not much at all because the box got bigger and that affected the rates.Some items can't be combined safely, or the box size is gets too big and/or too heavy. On occasion invoices have not been correct for combined shipping, if it shows free that is most definitely not the case, when we offer free shipping it will show that in the actual sale.
INTERNATIONAL buyers ONLY:Sold price can change the shipping method we will use.Any item that totals over $499.00 in shipping and sold price has to be sent Express International,and if between 249.00 - 499.00 we require priority international mail. We have to protect our consignors merchandise. The sale sold price is the only amount that will appear on the customs form as the item value, it has to match the insured amount,we will not change the value on the customs form for any reason. Any import duties or taxes you may have to pay on your end are your responsibility and not additional shipping, do not ask us to put a lower price on the customs form.First Class International has little or no tracking ability so if you want more traceability please request a shipping upgrade. If you are not able to get a shipping quotein the sale that means the box is larger or heavier than what your country allows for the service listed, please do not offer without contacting us for clarification or other options.
Payment should be received within 3 days of sale end.
Sales tax is required for all NY shipments.

Love The Future (2009)
Artist: Chester French |
Learn more about Love The Future:
Song Listing
Who's Chester? A they, not a he, consisting of young friends D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey, Chester French seeks to prove that pop music can be at once challenging and accessible. And with the bracing, involving and always-surprising set of pop-art songs on their debut album Love the Future, the duo has made a bold statement that's as delightful as it is ambitious, an album informed by a great wealth of music that is poised to break barriers and set new standards. Chester French's world is a musical universe in which everything's in play. The glorious "She Loves Everybody" mixes sensibilities equally drawing on Motown and power-pop. "Beneath the Veil" throws country twists into hip-hop aesthetics. "Neal" has echoes of swing, hip-hop and rock -- with a guitar break paying tribute to the genius and magic fingers of Les Paul. And "Fingers" is just your basic orchestral-pop with, you know, a lap steel solo. There's a curtain-raising "Introduction," and a couple transition pieces ("The String Interlude" and "Country Interlude") to help tie it all together and stress that this is, overall, far more than just a collection of songs, but a whole statement. |

Harvard undergrads D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey are the duo Chester French, and their agreeably skewed debut album, LOVE THE FUTURE, is a quirky blend of indie pop with hip-hop, country, and easy listening influences. The duo mix styles and genres with Beck-like ease, and don't neglect the all-important hooks on tracks like "She Loves Everybody" and the ironic "Bebe Buell." | |

Professional Reviews
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "LOVE THE FUTURE is tricked out with snazzy synth and string orchestrations -- and singer D.A. Wallach's high, elastic croon."
- "[T]heir major-label debut gets by on smarmy-smooth suburban-pop melodies, cheeky genre mash-ups and good bad jokes."
Chester French"We were trying to make the album an album," Drummey says. "What we tried to do is make something musically diverse but also unified. And we did the best job of that ever in the history of music."
Don't just take it from him. The band has already been lauded by the press with features such as Spin's Who's Next '08 and Rolling Stone's Artists To Watch. And take it from no less than Pharrell Williams, who signed the unclassifiable duo to his Star Trak/Interscope label after an early copy of the album, recorded by the two largely in a dorm basement studio while they were students at Harvard, was passed from them to his engineer, Drew Coleman.
"It's been a long time since I've heard a project teeming with this sort of musicality and originality," says Williams, the phenomenal artist/producer/trailblazer of Neptunes, N.E.R.D. and so-much-else fame. "You're going to watch history unfold with these guys. I feel it in my gut."
That works for Wallach and Drummey, who trace an aesthetic lineage from Beethoven to Brian Wilson, from Les Paul to Prince to, well, Pharrell Williams. They see walls coming down with a new generation inspired by innovative artists like Gnarls Barkley and OutKast.
Chester French -- subject of a signing battle that also included Kanye West, Jermaine Dupri and Jimmy Iovine before Williams closed the deal -- wants to be at the front of that movement.
"Hopefully our role in culture can be to stand for this moment in history where meaningless social and musical categories are finally dissolving," Wallach says.
The music backs that up. In discussion the two freely reference a sky-full of musical stars and constellations.
"A lot of people make experimental music. We look at our music as not being experimental, but being the result of a variety of experiments -- what we distilled from doing outlandish things, what are the best ideas," Drummey says.
It's a concept that coalesced over the course of the three-plus years in which the music was initially made, a process that began with a simple encounter of the two then-freshmen at a Harvard commissary.

Need for and Contents of Left Navigation
Hi Jennifer,
Here is my two cents... hopefully it helps. Usually a left or right
or local nav, as i've seen it, supports your global nav, not
replicates it. By having two navs that do the same thing you are just
filling that page up with noise that disrupts the user. The global nav
(which you have on top) should remain as constant as possible and the
support nav could change depending on which main navigation you are
in. Basically you make a selection with the global nav and you dive
even deeper with a support nav.
Usually support navs are useful if you have a deep taxonomy that
can't be surfaced in the global nav or if you have long (horizontal)
taxonomy with many similar pieces of content that are on the same
level. With these horizontal taxonomies you could use the support nav
as a filter (sort of like a tag list idea).
Good luck!

History of Art
Overview A painting, sculpture, or building is a monument surviving from the past, bearing the imprint of its creator and its time. The discipline of art history seeks to order and interpret these monuments; it seeks to discover their special characteristics and the value of the age in which they were created. For example, the work of Van Gogh would be examined in terms of his place in the Post-Impressionist generation of artists and his life in a period of religious revivals. The discipline defines the cultural currents of a period, and provides a context for understanding, appreciating, and enjoying art.
The department provides its students with the skills and perspectives of the liberal arts; to think clearly, to write well, and to find, analyze, evaluate, and present facts and ideas. It also provides students with a broad, humanistic background, an advantageous resource among the disciplines of law, business, and medicine. Students often combine art history with a major in one of these respective areas.
The major also soundly prepares students for graduate study. Professional careers in art history including teaching (most often at the college level), museum work, and work in the art market, usually require additional study at the graduate level leading to the M.A. and Ph.D.
Faculty The fourteen full-time faculty members are renowned for their teaching ability and scholarship. Among the many honors presented to the faculty are Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships, visiting Senior Fellowships at the Getty Center for the Arts and Humanities, election to the Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Mellon Professorship at the American Academy in Rome, and a Mellon Professorship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art. Each student is given the opportunity to work closely with one or more of these distinguished professors.
Students Approximately 100 students major in art history. Some introductory lecture courses are large; however, many courses are taught as seminars, with enrollment limited to twelve students. The lecture courses are usually survey courses (e.g., Baroque Art in Europe; Buddhist Art from India to Japan; Modernist Art); the seminars usually focus on one or two artists (e.g., Michelangelo, Bosch and Bruegel). The department offers over thirty courses, so there is a wide range of choices available. Independent study options exist, and most majors take several courses in studio art as well. Students are also encouraged to take courses in architectural history offered by the School of Architecture.
Special Resources The University of Virginia Art Museum encourages participation in its activities by art history majors and students in general. The Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library is a specialized collection of over 100,000 volumes and provides research and study space as well as research assistance by its trained staff.
Requirements for Major There are no prerequisites for entry into the department, but most students declare a major in art history after taking one or two or more of the departments introductory survey courses (ARTH 101 and 102). None of these courses, however, is required for majors.
For a degree in art history, students must complete 30 credits above the 100 level. Courses taken at any time during the students career can be counted, including those earned while studying abroad, in summer session or in architectural history courses. By the time of graduation, a student must have achieved a minimum GPA of 2.000 in major courses. (A student who does not maintain an average of 2.000 or better in departmental courses will be put on probation, and may be dropped from the program.) No course graded below C- may count for major credit.
Distribution Requirements At least one course at the 200 level or above in each area (Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Modern, Non-Western); a minimum of two 400 level seminars (either one ARTH 401 and one ARTH 491, or two ARTH 491); and three electives within the department. At least one of the non-seminar courses must be at the 300 or 500 level. Courses in Architectural History at the 200 level or above may be substituted for any of the course requirements except the ARTH 491 seminars. One course in Studio Art at the 100 level or above may be substituted for one of the electives.
Requirements for the Minor There are no prerequisites for a minor in art history. A student must complete 15 credits in the department, beyond the 100 level. Courses taken at any time during the students career may be counted toward the minor. At the time of graduation, a student must have achieved a minimum GPA of 2.000 in the minor courses.
Minors must take at least one course in four of the five areas: Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Modern, and Asian. One additional course is required, and this should be selected from advanced lecture courses at the 300-500 level, or sections of ARTH 491 (Seminar in the History of Art).
Distinguished Majors Program in Art History To majors who wish to be considered for a degree of "distinction," "high distinction," or "highest distinction" in art history, the department offers a Distinguished Majors Program (DMP) of advanced courses and research culminating in a thesis of approximately fifty pages. Students should ordinarily apply for admission to the program by the end of their third year. To apply, students must submit a thesis proposal and have the approval of a faculty member to direct their research. A GPA of 3.400 in major courses and a cumulative GPA at or near 3.400 are required for admission. Application should be made to the undergraduate advisors for art history. In their fourth year, students in the program are required to take at least two courses at the 400 or 500 level and to enroll in ARTH 497-498 (Undergraduate Thesis). These are evaluated by a committee chaired by the undergraduate advisors that also considers the students work in the DMP based on the evaluations of teachers in the students advanced courses; the students performance in major courses; and the students overall GPA. The committee recommends either no distinction, distinction, high distinction, or highest distinction, and passes on its recommendation to the Committee on Special Programs.
Studio Art
Overview Studio Art at the University of Virginia is a rigorous, pre-professional program leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. The department attempts to give students instruction in the basic skills and application in the following areas: drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, electronic media, contemporary media, and techniques. Courses also seek to acquaint the student with the concerns and issues of visual art through practical studio experience.
The art departments studio major is a liberal arts program designed to accommodate students with various interests and abilities, serving those who expect to become professional artists and welcoming those who are mainly interested in art as an avocation or as a means toward aesthetic fulfillment. Students are also encouraged to take courses in the history of art so that they may acquire knowledge of pictorial meaning and the wide range of artistic expression and interpretation found in different cultural periods. Students who wish to do intensive work in a single area may work in project courses which provide both flexibility and faculty feedback.
Faculty There are eight faculty members in the department. One of the department's strengths is the diversity of interests among the faculty. Each faculty member has had highly successful exhibitions at numerous galleries across the country such as the Tatistcheff Gallery in New York, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C., and the Fine Gallery in Princeton. Among the awards and honors garnered by members of this group is a recent Virginia Commission of the Arts Award for printmaking and sculpture, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Professional Fellowship and an Artist's Fellowship Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Works by the faculty are in many prestigious museum collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Philadelphia Art Museum, the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. The faculty make themselves easily accessible to their students, serving as mentors in and out of the classroom.
Students Each year, approximately sixty students major in studio art. As there is not a graduate program, all courses are taught by faculty. All studio art courses have limited enrollment, since the courses are taught in atelier style. All majors, in their fourth year, are required to complete a senior exhibition. Many students in studio art are double majors. Art history is the most obvious choice for a second major, though English and psychology are also common. Approximately 20 percent of the majors go on to graduate work within the fine arts. Placement has been good, including admission to top national programs. Other students seek graduate work in related fields, including graphic and fashion design, medical illustration, art therapy, illustration, museum work, gallery management, advertising design, and teaching.
Requirements for Major Majors acquire essential artistic skills as well as experience in the handling of a wide variety of materials and methods. The program puts the student in touch with the problems of creation and with the ideas of artists in the contemporary world.
The major requires 30 credits in ARTS courses including ARTS 161 and 162. Twelve credits must be at the 200 level and 9 credits at the 300 or 400 level. ARTH 280 (Art Since 1945) is required and should be taken in the fall term of the third year. In the fourth year he or she declares a concentration in painting, printmaking, photography, cinematography, or sculpture which culminates in an exhibition. Majors must have a minimum GPA of 2.000 in major courses, or be dropped from the program. A grade of C- or below does not count for major credit.
Requirements for Minor The minor in studio art requires 18 credits in ARTS courses including ARTS 161 and 162.

There was no doubt — the Toronto Maple Leafs were a dynasty. The Stanley Cup victories of 1942 and 1945 were almost incidental, as the team changed so much after the war, but having won the Lord Stanley's chalice in 1947, 1948 and 1949 certainly qualified this club as a dynasty. A championship eluded them in 1950, but the boys in blue and white were ready to wrestle hockey's top honour back in the spring of 1951.
Second-place Toronto was paired with the fourth-place Boston Bruins in the semi-final. It took just five games for the Leafs to eliminate Boston. Max, who played superbly, posted two goals during the series, including the game-winner in Game Four.
With Boston now out of the way, the Maple Leafs faced the Montreal Canadiens, who had won their semi-final series over the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings.
The first two games were played in Maple Leaf Gardens. Game One took overtime to decide, but Toronto took the series lead with a 3-2 win. Game Two was also tied at two at the end of regulation, but this time, it was Montreal who tallied to win the game and even the series.
Shifting to the Forum in Montreal for the next two games, the rivals were in a heated battle. Game Three was knotted at 1-1 at the end of sixty minutes, but Toronto pulled out an overtime victory to earn a lead of two games to one in the final. Two nights later, Toronto and Montreal again earned a tie as the final buzzer sounded. Toronto again pulled out a breath-taking win, putting themselves in the catbird seat with a lead of three games to one in the series, with Game Five scheduled in the friendly confines of their home rink.
Maurice Richard opened the scoring in the second period but Tod Sloan responded three minutes later with an equalizer for the Leafs. In the third, Paul Meger put Montreal ahead and it looked as though the Canadiens had the win.
Tied at two apiece, Toronto and Montreal went to their respective dressing rooms to prepare for sudden death.
Early in the extra frame, Howie Meeker got the puck behind the Montreal goal and fed it out front. It appeared to deflect off Butch Bouchard and bounced out to the faceoff circle to the right of Montreal netminder Gerry McNeil. There, Bill Barilko gambled and drove in from the blueline to slash at the loose puck. Horizontal as he backhanded the puck, its trajectory was arrow-straight over the shoulder of the prone goalie, hitting the net in the back of the cage at 2:53.
The Leafs mobbed the young defenceman, who was known more for his bodychecking than for his scoring prowess. He was lifted to the shoulders of his teammates as a tumultuous roar continued to descend from every nook of the venerable old Gardens.
Max couldn't have been more proud had he scored. The unlikely pair had become great friends, enjoying the horses together. Bentley had also intended to buy into the Barilko brothers' appliance store, although that transaction never took place. In the dressing room after the game, Bill Barilko gave Bentley the sweater he wore during that historic contest of April 21, 1951. That sweater, by the way, took a circuitous route, but is now housed in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The two pals, Barilko, who scored 3 goals in the playoffs, including the dramatic final tally, and Bentley, who had 2 goals and 11 assists for 13 points in the 1950-51 playoffs, which gave him a tie in post-season points with Maurice Richard, said their goodbyes and went there own ways that summer. Max returned to the family farm in Delisle, Saskatchewan and Bill returned home to his family in Timmins, Ontario. Little did either know that it was the last they would see of each other. Late that summer, Barilko disappeared flying home from a fishing trip to northern Quebec. Lost without a trace, it was eleven years before the tragic young hero's remains were discovered in the dense bush near Cochrane, Ontario.
While Max Bentley played a handful more seasons in the National Hockey League, no victory was more meaningful or poignant to the sensational centre than the Stanley Cup win of 1951.

"I try not to make it come out of my pocket," Williams says flatly.
Bartenders prefer to reserve comp drinks for regulars and big tippers. Each bartender defines a regular in slightly different terms, of course. But they begin extending the courtesies due a regular--a greeting, a handshake, etc.--when they know a patron's name and favorite drink without hesitation.
Tipping seems to enhance their memory. "No matter how busy you are, you remember who tipped well and who didn't tip at all," says Bauman. "The guy who throws out a buck here and a buck there, we know it, and they get service." Big spenders also receive special treatment. "We have customers who spend $50 to $100 every time they come in," says Smokey Hill, bar manager at Sipango. "Of course we're going to buy them a drink."

"To say, 'There's no Crown in here,' will get you nowhere," warns Matthew, the surnameless Samba Room bartender. "Put down a five and say that it's light, and I'll pour half a bottle in there."
But flashing a few bucks seems like an expensive route to a free drink. The Burning Question crew tried it with some success, but we were using crisp bills pulled surreptitiously from our editor's petty cash drawer. (Editor's note: He's lying. We don't consider any amount of cash "petty.")
The most effective trick patrons use to score free drinks involves female breasts and the public display thereof. "Something that always works for a free drink is showing their tits," Bauman confirms. It's a fairly common practice at Dallas-area establishments, and the Burning Question crew considered it so crucial to this week's research that we spent an inordinate amount of time spotting flashers--you know, to confirm the information. Hell, it even works on female bartenders. "I bought a girl a drink for that before," Seer admits. "It gets guys riled up, and they start buying drinks."
Unfortunately, no male equivalent exists. We tried.
But attractive women often receive preferential treatment at bars, including free drinks. "A pretty woman will bring 20 guys to the bar, and the guys tip," claims Hill. "It's our payoff."
All in all, however, it seems slight recompense for an evening subjected to complaints, lies and fraud. "It's just part of the business," Williams reasons. "It's not a surprise, but it's definitely annoying. It's just a $3 or $4 drink. People will lie for nothing." Still, that nothing may end up costing bartenders or the bars plenty.
"If they're really good [at scamming], we'll never know about it," Morgan says. "We'll just come up short at the end of the night and say, 'How'd that happen?'"

It is a belief and a matter of faith for the followers of Sanatana Dharma that the waters of the sacred rivers such as Ganga, Yamuna and Kaveri have the power to purify us — not merely the physical impurities but also the contaminated inner selves comprising the mind and its workings. Hence a dip at the confluence of holy rivers such as at Prayag is considered an essential part of spiritual wellbeing.
In the hymn Saundarya Lahari, Adi Sankara celebrates the extraordinary power of the Divine Mother's glances to purify Her devotees, even as a dip at the sacred Prayag is held to rid people of their sins, said Sri B. Sundarkumar in a discourse.
The acharya's poetic fancy equates the power of Her eyes to the union of the three streams — Ganga, Yamuna and Sona — whose waters are famed for their distinctive shades they reflect — white, black and red. Her compassionate eyes assume these colours as well; and are seen to signify the three Gunas, Satva, Tamas and Rajas respectively by which the Divine mother manifests Her creative power.
The poet sees the representation of the entire universe in her.
Ironically, human birth provides an opportunity to strive for salvation along with the prospect to commit sins. The impurities enveloping the atma are not easily washed off and individual effort alone is unsuccessful.
A Jivatma is born as the result of one's past karma and travels through births endlessly, experiencing alternating joy and sorrow in the course of a lifetime. Sometimes it is not possible to explain in rational terms the cause of one's suffering or enjoyment.
Seeking the compassionate glances of Divine Mother, bathing in the holy rivers and chanting Her divine names are advised for the welfare and purity of the atma.
