Meet your driver for a private airport transfer.
Meet your private driver and guide at your hotel for your half-day tour to the Zaanse Schans. The Zaanse Schans is a delightful old hamlet on the banks of the river Zaan with characteristic green wooden houses, charming stylized gardens, small hump-backed bridges, tradesmen's workshops, historic windmills and charming little shops. This enchanting hamlet gives an excellent impression of how a typical Zaanse village must have looked like in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Apart from the cluster of windmills and houses there are also several museums, restaurants and a visitors' centre to be found. The Zaanse Schans has become one of the top tourist destinations in the Netherlands. Return to hotel.
A transfer between the port and your hotel with a private vehicle and driver is provided.
This evening, meet your fellow passengers on board for the welcome reception and dinner.
Port charges are included in your itinerary pricing.

Biographical Info
Overview: The primary focus of my clinical research has been on clinical, pathological and molecular factors which may predict for outcomes in breast cancer patients treated with radiation therapy, ethnic variations in breast cancer, and quality improvement in breast health care delivery. I have been on the board of directors of the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) of the American College of Surgeons for the last 5 years, and have worked to develop national guidelines, standards and a surveying process for accreditation of breast centers. I have also been interested in investigating radiation techniques. I am the medical director of Radiation Therapy at one of our busiest Satellite Hospitals (W.W.Backus Hospital) and am also the Director of the Breast Center there. I am on the editorial board for the Journal of Clinical Oncology and The Breast Journal, and am an Associate Senior Breast Editor for International Journal of Radiation Therapy, Biology, Physics. I am also a member of the American College of Radiology Breast Appropriateness Criteria Committee to established clinical guidelines for breast cancer treatment.

- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

If you say so. I'm not sure you quite have a grasp of what welfare is, but if you honestly don't support funding scientific research, I really hope you don't come down with, say, Tourette syndrome or Parkinson's disease. But at least in your alternate reality you can rest assured that capitalism will prevail and the free market will rush to assist you in your moment of need.

Never finished school, but have about 32 hours of mathematics and physics and other general classes towards a BS in Physics. IMHO, the formal education makes no difference unless the experience of obtaining it creates the ability to think. Of all the PhD mathematicians and physicists, the MBAs and MScs and others with whom I've worked in the last 35 years in IT, the very best were the ones who learned how to think really well however they were educated. The worst sometimes had more yardage on their transcripts, but saw it only as a ticket to punch for a high paying job. They were the ones who were really adept at getting a job, putting on a good show while at work, getting everyone else to solve the really difficult aspects of their work and moving on to greener pastures when they got cornered with their own mediocrity.
The one thing I have observed is that higher education and popular culture in the US is progressively rewarding the latter behavior. Geek, nerd and other perjorative appellations clearly reflect what current popular culture thinks of the deep thinkers. Instead, we reward a culture that glorifies gangsta rapper drug lords and image-without-substance from Hollister and Abercrombe & Fitch.

Instead of letting your money control you this holiday season, start controlling your money. You'll feel happier when the season is over if you still have some cushion in your wallet.

For many, the dream of a relaxing retirement is lost because of a lack of savings and unexpected costs in retirement. That doesn't have to the case if you prepare ahead of time with a conservative plan and start saving early for your retirement. Your relaxing retirement can be a reality.

Soldier of Fortune (also known as SoF) is a first-person shooter game created by Raven Software and published by Activision on March 27 2000 for Microsoft Windows. It uses a modified Quake II engine. It was later released on the Sony PlayStation 2 as well as the Sega Dreamcast. Loki Software also made a port for Linux. Based on its success, Raven Software and Activision later published Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix in 2002 based on the Quake III: Team Arena engine. Initially released for Windows, the sequel was later ported to the Xbox. A third game in the series, Soldier of Fortune: Payback was released on November 14 2007.
John Mullins, working as a Soldier of Fortune for a US-based mercenary organization known only as "The Shop", and his partner, Aaron "Hawk" Parsons, are assigned to prevent the nukes from falling into the wrong hands, and stop the terrorists in their plans.
Critics point out the game's total lack of realistic combat (especially in the easier modes), lack of innovative depth to gameplay, as well the lack of tactical influences. Soldier of Fortune does lack gameplay functions such as weapon inaccuracy and recoil, which were uncommon for games at that time.
In June 2007, the third entry of the Soldier of Fortune series was announced, Soldier of Fortune: Payback, and was released on 20 November 2007. The game was developed by Cauldron and published by Activision Value. Raven Software wasn't involved in its production.

In the catalog of sins, a bad distribution of complexity may be most like the moral sin of gluttony. But instead of trying to cram too much food into his body, the developer crams too much logic into a method or class.
It's natural that a program will have some complex files and methods (just like it's okay to have dessert occasionally). but if you have too many of those, then what you may have done is code yourself a pot-full of spaghetti (to continue the food metaphor). Which means that the next coder who has to work on the application will have a hard time understanding what's going on in the code. And if she has a hard time understanding it, she'll have an even harder time successfully modifying it.
Further, complex code can be hard to unit test properly. And if it's hard to unit test, then the risk of modifying it increases because you don't have that backstop against the introduction of bugs and regressions.
Analyzing Complexity
Complexity Widget
Add the Complexity widget to your dashboard:
And take a look at the distribution to see whether you have too many very complex methods or files. Ideally, the graph in the widget should be weighted to the left. Again, having a few files or methods on the left side is normal - particularly for larger applications - but too many and you've got a problem.
Finding high-complexity components
There are two ways to find high-complexity components. The first is to use the drilldown from the Complexity widget. The second is to add the Metric hotspot widget to your dashboard with metrics like complexity /file, complexity /method, etc to hunt for high-complexity components.

ATLANTA (AP) - A person familiar with the situation says Hawks general manager Danny Ferry and coach Mike Budenholzer are in Los Angeles to talk with center Dwight Howard and other free agents.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Monday's meetings have not been officially announced.
Ferry and Budenholzer also plan to meet with Hawks unrestricted free agents Josh Smith and Kyle Korver on the trip. Smith, an Atlanta native, has an offseason home near Los Angeles.
The Hawks made a qualifying offer to point guard Jeff Teague, who became an unrestricted free agent. Unrestricted free agent forward Ivan Johnson did not receive an offer from Atlanta.
Howard has met with Houston and has interest from Dallas. The Lakers have said they hope to re-sign Howard.

It was also very hard for me to find pictures that fit in the spaces because of how small they are. A lot of the pictures I tried were out of focus or too big to fit in the space. I was really happy with the colors available and found exactly what I wanted for the background and the fonts. I would definitely recommend the option to buy just one because these were a lot smaller than I was expecting and I found out that some things I had on there were hard to read so I had to adjust that a bit. Overall I was very happy with what I got even though I wish they had been bigger. I was really happy with how much I could change on the design but it took quite a lot of work to change every little thing.
Love the design, but the pictures turned out really small
Make sure your photographer takes some really close up pictures of you - we used some pics that were a little further away and we're really small in the pictures. They still turned out wonderful and the quality is fantastic!
Great Magnet Design!
We just got these Save the Date magnets sent to us with two of our engagement photos on them, and they look great! We have a modern themed wedding and the style of this magnet was perfect. The quality of the print and photos turned out perfect and the colors were exactly what I wanted. Very pleased with this product and excited to send them out to our guests! The only thing I wished was that this design came in a slightly larger magnet. But it isn't too small and the text/photos are plenty large enough, so it is great!
Amazing and Affordable
I was very pleased with these. My sister in law shopped somewhere else and hers cost close to $300. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost. I would definately recomend this to anyone and everyone!
got them super fast, exactly as I designed them. True to the colors on screen, and so easy to design and navigate the site. I have recommended magnetstreet via my facebook to all of my friends- expecially those who are engaged. A++++++

Crunching your COLA numbers
Wednesday - 4/17/2013, 2:34pm EDT
How much would individuals lose — in retirement benefits — if the government used a different formula to keep track of inflation?
The answer, according to financial planner Arthur Stein, is a lot. Especially as compounded over time.
To help trim the deficit, the White House has proposed using a different system — called the chained Consumer Price Index — to calculate the rate of inflation. With the C-CPI as the yardstick, Stein estimates that "after 20 years their annual annuity payment is 5 percent less than it would have been" under the current formula, "and the total value of payments received over that 20-year period is 2.8 percent less."
Confused? Me too. Anything to do with math turns my otherwise razor-sharp brain to mush. Which is why Stein is going to be our guest today at 10 a.m. on our Your Turn radio show. He'll explain the impact of compounding on Social Security and civil service retirement benefits, and what the newly proposed system would do to your annuity benefit in the future. He'll also talk about investing strategies for the TSP in the currently very hot stock market.
Later in the show, we'll talk to Steve Losey from the Federal Times about the White House's proposed 2014 budget and the recent congressional repeal of STOCK Act reporting requirements for Senior Executive Service members.
Purpose of COLAs
Everyone agrees that switching to the chained CPI system would save the government money. Lots of comment on it from lots of people including this:
"Last week you wrote a column which said: The chained CPI is better and fairer, backers say, because it takes into account the fact that when times are tough, and prices for things like gasoline and food go up, most people adjust by driving less and/or buying less expensive substitutes: like hamburger instead of steak. If you carry out the downward adjustment theory, some would argue it means that as prices continue to go up - food, petrol, whatever - people would eventually give up things like vacations and driving and, eventually, stop eating period. That's a tad harsh, but you get the idea.
"Many retirees are already living under the poverty line. The chained COLA will hurt those individuals. They will go from eating hamburger to eating beans and rice, and rice and beans. How much pain do we want to cause? Social Insecurity was never meant to offer a full retirement only so retirees and disabled individuals would not starve to death.
"We do not promote saving for retirement in this country, just spend, spend, spend (70 percent consumer economy). This is why we have had a negative savings rate. Only half of Americans invest in the stock market and many do not have pensions any more. Many will be in a world of hurt in their retirement. I do not want to be part of this crowd! Keep saving and investing in the future " — Emily in Washington State

Cinderella's Castle at Disney World is modeled after on the Neuschwanstein Castle in the German state of Bavaria. The fairy tale castle was commissioned and designed by King Ludwig II, later known as the "mad king" in the mid-1800s. After being declared insane and deposed from the throne, the king killed his doctor and then committed suicide ... And they all lived happily ever after?

Fed employee group calculates lost benefits under chained CPI
President Barack Obama's proposal to change the way retirees' cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) are adjusted has drawn the ire of federal-employee groups and unions.
Federal response to Boston bombings 'swift and substantial,' expert says
Attorney General Eric Holder committed the full resources of the FBI to investigate Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon. "I think there's some assurance that the federal response will be swift and substantial," said Bob Blitzer, former chief of the FBI's Domestic Terrorism and Counterterrorism Planning Section.
2014 budget takes center stage on Capitol Hill
With the release of the White House's 2014 budget proposal last week, budget season on Capitol Hill is in full swing. But while Congress will be debating the merits of the President's budget plan via a flurry of congressional hearings this week, the permanent director's chair at the Office of Management and Budget remains vacant. Votes on Sylvia Burwell's nomination are expected later this week.

Washington women's team moves to hockey nationals

The Washington Wild girls U19 hockey team celebrates on the ice after winning the six-state Pacific District Tier II championship on March 10 at The Rinks Anaheim Ice in Anaheim, Calif. The team includes four Snohomish County girls. They are Lydia Grauer of Mukilteo (top row, far left), Maddie Davis of Edmonds (next to Grauer), Bailey Ingalls of Snohomish (two to the right of Davis), and Julia Takatsuka of Lynnwood (bottom right).

Photo by Derek Ingalls
Lydia Grauer of Mukilteo, a 15-year-old forward, leads the Washington Wild in scoring with 67 goals and 29 assists in 57 games this season. She is a sophomore at Kamiak High School.
But the rewards are terrific.
Just ask the girls of the Washington Wild, a Tier II U19 hockey team that won a league title against a number of top Canadian squads, and then finished first at the six-state Pacific District tournament to qualify for this week's USA Hockey National Championships in San Jose, Calif.
The Wild had been eliminated by an Alaska team at districts the last two years, but on March 10 the Wild prevailed 2-0 in Anaheim, Calif. And as the final seconds ticked off and the celebration began, "it was the best moment of my life," said 15-year-old Lydia Grauer of Mukilteo, the team's leading scorer with 67 goals and 29 assists in 57 games.
"I was on the ice for the last few seconds and it was really awesome," said Grauer, a sophomore at Kamiak High School. "We've worked so hard and it was really great to finally beat Alaska (after losing the last two years). And going to nationals will be just amazing because we'll get to compete against the best teams in the nation."
Heading to nationals "is absolutely unbelievable," agreed 17-year-old Bailey Ingalls, a senior at Snohomish High School. "I already have senior-itis at school, and now it's so hard to focus because of nationals. It's definitely the highlight of my senior year. I'd totally put it above prom."
The Wild players are between 14 and 18 years old, with most residing in the greater Seattle area, though two are from Bellingham, one is from Richland, and one is from Medford, Ore. Snohomish County is represented by Grauer, Ingalls, Maddie Davis of Edmonds (Shorecrest) and Julia Takatsuka of Lynnwood (Meadowdale).
The Wild plays in the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association, where they are one of seven teams -- and the only American team -- in their league. The team, which has a 51-7-4 season record, finally finished first after placing second and third the previous two seasons.
League home games are at an arena in Bellingham (cutting the travel distances for the Canadian teams), but road games are all in the greater Vancouver, B.C., area. The Wild has also traveled to six out-of-state tournaments, winning four and placing second twice.
The head coach is Les Grauer, Lydia's dad and a man with a long hockey background. He played at the University of Wisconsin for longtime college and pro coach Bob Johnson, where Johnson's son Mark and Bob Suter were Grauer's teammates before they headed off to win gold medals with the 1980 U.S. Olympic team.
Grauer began coaching the team in 2010, and the first two seasons were a time for the team's many young players to learn and develop. Injuries hampered the Wild a year ago -- one player was lost to a compound arm fracture, and another dropped out after a concussion -- but this season the team has surged.
"These types of seasons don't happen very often," Grauer said. "It's a function of a relatively healthy season and then adding a few (key players) to the core group that we already had. ... It's not like we've been blowing a lot of teams away. There's just been a series of pretty close games where we seem to find a way to battle through and win."
As the team heads off to nationals, he added, "I'm cautiously optimistic. We're fortunate to play in a very competitive league and we've been battle tested throughout the season. I think we're as prepared as anybody, if not more so."
No one is quite sure how good the teams are from the upper Midwest and Massachusetts, two of American hockey's traditional hotbeds, but Les Grauer believes his team "will have an opportunity to win (a national championship). But every game is going to be tough and we'll just have to find ways to win."
Like their coach, the girls on the team are excited and believe they have a chance to do well.
"I don't want to jinx us (with a lofty prediction)," Ingalls confessed with a smile. "But we've worked so hard and put so much into this. And if we keep playing the way we've been playing, I think we have just as good a chance as anybody."
"I really have no idea about any of the other teams," said 17-year-old goalkeeper Julia Takatsuka, who got the shutout in the district championship win against Alaska. "But I'm really excited. We've trained so hard and I'm really confident in our abilities, so I really hope we can win."
"Even if we don't win, it's still a huge accomplishment just getting there," Lydia Grauer said. "Our team's goal this year was to win districts, so we've already accomplished our goal. But now we're going to nationals and that's amazing."

Mass. Eye and Ear is one of the world's leading institutions pursuing a research focus on vestibular problems. Major initiatives include:
- Development of VEMP testing – Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials – an inner ear reflex test that could prove invaluable in early detection of Meniere's disease and other balance disorders.
- Development of an ambulatory vestibular monitor – a new device, similar to a cardiac event monitor. Worn by the patient with vestibular problems, the portable, self-powered monitor will record vestibular function and other indicators over the course of a few days of normal activity.
- Development of a vestibular prosthesis for patients who have lost function in their own balance organs – both a wearable version and an implantable version similar to the cochlear implant for the hearing impaired are under development.

A small bouquet of red, white and blue flowers against an otherwise drab, cold steel beam.
Six flowers, left anonymously for the almost 3,000 Americans who died 12 years ago today.
Their stems are bound together because of one act — like the nation that endured that fateful blow on Sept. 11, 2001.
The beam from the original World Trade Center in New York City has a home in Lejeune Memorial Gardens. At over six feet in length, it rests propped against a granite slab adorned with a bronze plaque dedicating the memorial to the 343 firefighters who died, as well as the Marines who fought in Iraq, after the United States' most deadly terrorist attack to date.
The flowers are among the mementos left behind over the years from those paying respect to the fallen.
"It's always nice to see different stuff out there left by different people," said Marine Cpl. Ian Page, 29, of Edison, N.J. "I've seen challenge coins, flowers and gems that maybe a child left. It is always really nice to see stuff like that because I'm afraid people just don't remember it like they used to — when America stood as one when it first happened."
Page was recently among a group of 20 Marines from New River Air Station who volunteered on a Saturday to take part in cleaning the gardens. The group scrubbed the mildew and calcification off of the memorials and did basic landscaping, all part of what Page said was "the right thing to do."
"The cleaning of the memorials was something everyone took a lot more pride in," said Page, an avionics Marine with the VMM 261 Raging Bulls. "It was us giving back to the community. All we were was a bunch of Marines and Americans who gave their time to accomplish a worthwhile mission."
The 12 years since the attacks feels like yesterday, said Page, who was a senior in high school at the time. Living 30 minutes from Ground Zero, Page recalls seeing the billows of smoke engulfing the sky as the towers imploded. It was an image that has never left him.
After graduating high school, he wanted to join the military but opted to remain at BMW as a mechanic. By 23, he changed his mind, he said.
"My biggest fear is that the memory of the attacks will slowly dwindle away," Page said. "I hope by doing my part it helps to keep the memory alive. ...And when I see things like those marbles or gemstones that might have been left by a child, I have faith we will never forget …and that the next generation knows about what happened even though a few years have passed."
For some of the Marines, volunteering on their day off wasn't exactly the definition of a "fun Saturday," according to Marine Staff Sgt. Bryce Rogers, 33, of Maysville. He brought the Marines to the gardens hoping they would be reminded of why they are wearing the Marine Corps uniform, he said.
"It helped show us what we exist for and why we do the things we do in the Corps," Rogers said. "It started out as work, but then something amazing happened. They began paying attention to the beam and the other memorials. They took the time to read the plaques and signs. They saw that they serve for something greater than ourselves. They found out why they are doing this Marine Corps thing."
As a father of four, Rogers said it is extremely important for younger generations to not only learn about 9-11 but also understand how it has shaped our history and our future.
"If they don't learn about 9-11 they will not understand what this country really stands for," Rogers said. "They need to know that people cannot take away our freedom — that people can't take away our ideals. If they don't know about the triumphs and hardships in our history they will never grasp the true concept of America and the freedoms we cherish."
But while trinkets and flowers are nice to see at the memorial, Rogers said he feels as though the beam itself speaks more to him.
"To me, I look at the beam and it has a significance outside of being a memorial," said Rogers, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. "When you look at it you see a strong beam, just like our strong nation. The bolts are huge and they are just mangled. That enormous piece of steel — it's three inches in some places and it's bent and dented. It's just incredible that something could do that to something so strong — just like our nation. It's symbolic because it is still strong despite what's happened to it.
"Like that beam, we have our scars and our bruises because of 9-11 but we are still strong and we are still standing — and in a lot of ways we are stronger now after the fact."
Events are planned throughout the region today to commemorate the 12th anniversary of 9/11. Local ceremonies include:
- The Onslow Civic Affairs Committee will host an observance at 8:15 a.m. at the 9/11 Memorial within Lejeune Memorial Gardens. The observance will join a national moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. — a minute after the first of the twin towers was struck. Sirens breaking the moment of silence will be followed by three Sept. 11, 2001, tableaus: stories of those who were going about their daily tasks, first responders who died providing aid to attack victims and military responders.
- The Woodmen of the World will present a flag to the Onslow County Museum 10 a.m. in Richlands. The event will include a 9/11 remembrance for lives lost in 2001 and a chance to honor and thank first responders and military, said organizer Teresa Anderson. The Woodmen of the World also will dedicate a flag pole and flag to Verona Baptist Church at 6 p.m.
- The completion of Swansboro Fire Department's 9/11 memorial — which includes part of a steel beam from the World Trade Center's second tower — will be officially received at 6:30 p.m. The ceremony will include opening prayer, presentation of the memorial to the Swansboro Public Safety Director Bob Ritchie, a flag ceremony and ringing of a bell.

Deep;y disappointed if true
by SkyWarpTFB - 1/12/13 8:29 PM
I read on another website that CBS will not allow CNET to give awards or even review the Dish hopper. If this is true I will have lost my over 15 years of respect for CNET and will no longer trust ANY of it's reviews of any product. I will still look to see what user say but I will not be able to trust what any CNET editors or any employee of CNET has to say about any technology.

He'd have to be a smaller piece in a significant trade(I.e Jennings). Can't see him being moved any other way.
He really seems like Monty's guy, maybe even his favorite player on the team. Heck, he may be the teams best leader as well. How close do you think he is to being untouchable? And how good would the offer have to be to move him?
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
He'd have to be a smaller piece in a significant trade(I.e Jennings). Can't see him being moved any other way.
What he did in that Milwaukee game was huge, not sure if it was talked about but he got us to that blow out victory.
Yea I love the guy. He reminds me of DWeest in terms of his attitude, tenacity, and leadership. We need to have that vocal guy on the team, and he does that. Not to mention the guy has one of the best contracts in the league for a player of his caliber. Like NolaHornets said, unless he's a piece in a bigger trade, we need to keep him, and even then, I'd be a little PO'd
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
He is untouchable in the sense that no team will value him as much as we do, therefore we will never get significant offers for him. I think you could get more for Lopez than Smith, so if the Hornets need to put a big into a trade I would suspect it would be Lopez and not Smith
Honestly, i thought jay would be more improved this year then he's shown. I supported the thought of him being our starting 5 when then talk was going on in the summer.
I'd definitely have to say I was wrong though. He is what he is, a solid energy guy coming off the bench.
For supposed to being a knockdown big man shooter, he's pretty inconsistent and his range is pretty limited to about foul line extended. He usually misses when he attempts outside of that.
his extreme effort and wanting to do help the team so much is what you love about him but it also leads him to make way more turnovers than he should with the amount he touches the ball.
Love jay as big off the bench, but by no means he is untouchable.
I wouldn't voluntarily include him, and i don't think that even as part of a package that his contract's value is worth the value of a filler, if you get what i'm saying.
I agree that the big if needed would be Lopez, Vasquez for the extra money and you have several guys who have no value at all who could be tossed in for the low dollar filler to make a trade work
Like was said, in a move that nets us other more valuable pieces, he'd be golden. But overall? Most we could get is a lateral move, in which case makes more sense to keep him.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
I think that hand injury is affecting him he is missing alot of shoots he usually makes.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Jason Smith and untouchable should never be used in the same sentence. Demps has attempted to trade him before and I expect he won't hesitate if a deal with Smith included could benefit the team.
Trading Smith just to get rid of Gordon's contract would be extremely idiotic.
Remember, earlier in the year Ryan Anderson's minutes were inconsistent and they were trying to play with different lineups. With Anthony Davis returning and eventually play bigger role/minutes and Anderson is now established on the team, Smith will ultimately be the guy who ends up losing minutes.
I don't think anyone is "untouchable" with the Supervillian running the show.
but...how could you trade this?!
Never thought I'd hear the words untouchable and Jason Smith together. He's a good bench player on a great contract which makes him very valuable but he's I where near untouchable in the true sense of the word.

From removable gyro tabs to invest casting of drop outs and more, Flybikes is at the forefront of BMX innovation. The Flybikes Electron is a BMX bike that is aimed at the smaller rider. With a top tube of 20.2" and tight chainstay of 13.2" the Electron is a smaller and more agile build. The frame is made from ultra durable 4130 Chromoly tubing. The 1 1/8" integrated headtube is also drilled for gyro tabs. The Electron frame also features removable brake mounts. The Electron has a great build kit on it as well. The 8" high Chromoly handlebars support the frame's tight geometry. The 1 1/8" Chromoly fork has a 25mm offset to bring the wheelbase in and increase response.

Past Research
A text documentation of N|uu
The project documents the last South African San language and the only surviving member of the !Ui branch of the isolate family Tuu (a.k.a. "Southern Khoisan"). The team consists of three PhD students and the applicant. It is funded by the ELDP and starts in October 2007.
The language is highly endangered, because only less than 10 elderly speakers are known at present. While the language has been subject to linguistic investigation in the last five years by several linguists including the applicant, it is far from being documented in any sufficient way, because the previous research has mostly been dedicated to specialized topics such as to sound system, certain morpho-syntactic structures, and lexicon. A particularly striking gap in our current knowledge of N|uu is a discourse-based description and analysis, and this across the whole spectrum of still existing inter-speaker variation. The proposed project is intended to fill this major gap and ultimately lead to a documentation of N|uu to the fullest possible extent. Since the number of speakers is generally limited, we will attempt, if possible, to gather a representative text corpus for every speaker; this will later allow us to compare their respective idiolects in terms of linguistic and stylistic variation. These corpora will contain both prompted texts of parallel (and thus comparable) structure (e.g. based on the "Pear story film" or on similar stimuli) and spontaneously produced, culture-specific texts. The project will closely collaborate with the community, the South African San Institute (the NGO coordinating community work), and the scholars previously engaged in linguistic research on this language and materials that result from this project will be made available to these parties. Moreover, the project team will continue efforts to make the ethnic community participate actively in the research, and train selected people accordingly.

Dougbots Craptacula Sketchbook
Alrighty, as my daughter gets older I'm finding more time to doodle. Don't get me wrong, she comes first, but i need to start trying again. I feel like my stuff has become stagnant, boring, lame, useless....
So decided to sketch more, traditionally and digitally. With the hopes that I'll get better.
Of course, with a kid, wife, freelance, job, and hour commute, we'll see how often I actually post
All quickies, trying to work looser:

Your third pic of the flying fish is just inspiring. love the way you handled the lighting.

Oh my god, I'm in love with your flying fish-monster-thing! It's like the coolest thing I've ever seen! Sooo inspiring, man
August 7th, 2005 #23
Hey thanks everybody. I think I should point out that the flying slugfish thing's background is a couple of photos I combined and then painted over. The slug (lame part) is all me though I did learn a lot from that one though, I think I do better skies and clouds now.
Can't comment on everything said, but I do appreciate it. Thanks again!
Genital Eclipse--...but just not day 1 material? Thanks for the backhanded compliment jerk.....I secretly love you.
prostate sunrise--I figured since you left me we didn't have to share everything with eachother anymore. Where are you at this ungodly hour? You're with him aren't you...with Flaptraps....sniffle...
bRØk3n_sPiRiT--The original sketch was for the cloud dweller. I never finished it though, so I pulled it out the other day and worked on it. Glad people seem to like.
So I have to say, the reason for trying this agian (sketchbook) is because of the amazing talent I see daily on this site, and the amazing talent I work with. Working along side Xiaman, Prostate Sunrise, Flaptraps, Genital Eclipse, ABC, Stokes, and a slew of others who don't post, makes you really want to try harder.
If you could only see what Flaptraps, Gen, and Sunrise can't show because of NDA's you'd be amazed. Even more so, the sketches laying around their desks, like Stokes' naked lady cup. I see this stuff and can't help but feel..."shit...I used to do stuff like that."
I won't even go into Daniel Docui, every piece he does makes me want to hang up the ol' wacom and become a baker.
So I'm at a point where my art has become stagnant. Not really growing. Hopefully with these exercises, and advice from you all, my stuff will get better. My daughters future college education depends on it.

Everyone safe after bridge over Skagit River collapses
Fall of I-5 bridge span under investigation; major traffic disruption expected
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Rescuers work in the water after the Interstate 5 bridge collapsed over the Skagit River in Mount Vernon on Thursday.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Two vehicles went in the water after the bridge collapsed Thursday.
Jon Bauer / The Herald
The I-5 Skagit River bridge shortly after it crashed about 7 p.m. Thursday.
Rescue crews raced to the scene and after a frantic hour reported that there was no loss of life.
Marcus Deyerin, a spokesman for the Northwest Washington Incident Management Team, said there were only two vehicles involved: a pickup truck towing a trailer and a small passenger vehicle.
Two people were in the truck; one in the car. All were rescued and receiving medical attention, he said. Two people injured in the collapse were en route to Skagit Valley Hospital. A third was being transported to a different area hospital.
There was no immediate reason to believe anyone else was involved in the collapse, but crews were scouring the river to make sure, he said.
"Now we begin the recovery stage dealing with a major interstate highway that is nonfunctional at the moment," Deyerin said.
A truck hauling an oversize load was responsible, the State Patrol said Friday.
To get across the Skagit River, southbound traffic is being rerouted at Highway 20 to Burlington Boulevard in Burlington. Northbound traffic is being rerouted at College Way to Riverside Drive in Mount Vernon.
"We were extremely lucky that it wasn't worse," Deyerin said.
That was especially true given the traffic volume Thursday night, and even more traffic that could have been expected on Friday, the start of the Memorial Day weekend.
He said for people to be prepared for major impacts on travel, particularly in the communities of Mount Vernon and Burlington.
Floyd Richardson, a Mount Vernon logger, was outside his home when he heard the bridge collapse.
"It was like 100 little kids crying. It was like 'EEEEKKK,'" he said.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the collapse, said Jaime Smith, director of media relations for Gov. Jay Inslee. The National Transportation Safety Board plans to send a "full go-team" to investigate, according to the agency's Twitter account.
The collapse comes just before the busy Memorial Day weekend.
A lot of Skagit Valley residents are wondering how the fallen span will affect their commutes to work.
"I'll take the back roads," Richardson said. "I know all the tricks."
Homer Diaz, of Mount Vernon, was among the hundreds of bystanders lining the river bank. He crosses the bridge to and from work each day.
Thursday night, the inevitable inconvenience of the pending commute seemed a secondary concern. His fiancé crossed the bridge shortly before it collapsed.
"Thank God she wasn't on it then," he said. "I feel sorry for the people who fell in."
Russell Hester, of Mount Vernon, is eager to learn how long it will take to replace the bridge.
"For the locals, there are not a lot of ways to get across," he said.
Tasha Zahlis suspected something was wrong when there were two brief power surges at her home nearby and her dogs began barking.
She crossed the bridge 10 minutes before it collapsed on her way home from work.
"I absolutely had an angel over me," she said. "I am so thankful."
Michael Szagajek arrived in time to see debris from the collapsed bridged still raining onto the river.
"It was still crumbling," he said. "It was unbelievable."
When he spotted one of the drivers in the river standing atop a car, it took him a moment to convince himself what he saw was real.
Tandy Wilbur of La Conner was visiting a car dealership on the river's north side when the lights suddenly went out.
He ran outside to see what was wrong and realized the bridge had collapsed.
When Wilbur reached the top of the dike he saw a man seated atop an orange Subaru Crosstrek in the river.
He began searching the banks to see if there was anyone he could help.
"It is a horrible thing," Wilbur said about an hour after the collapse.
A crowd of about 1,000 people stood along the dikes as the sun set. Christie Wolfe, of Oak Harbor, was among those who raced to the river's edge. She knew her truck-driving boyfriend was supposed to be on the bridge about the time it collapsed.
He finally got through on the phone to let her know that he had stopped in time.
Rescue boats and hydrofoils crisscrossed on the river while helicopters hovered above.
The Subaru was still in the river, its windshield wipers sweeping side to side.
A hovercraft crew surveying the scene reported there was a full-size pickup truck with a trailer and a smaller passenger car in the river.
Inslee was expected at the scene. He was to be joined by Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste and WSDOT Secretary Lynn Peterson.
The 1,111-foot, steel-truss bridge was built in 1955, according to the nongovernmental website nationalbridges.com, which offers a searchable database of the National Bridge Inventory compiled by the Federal Highway Administration. It was built before the freeway for U.S. 99.
The database classifies the Skagit River bridge over I-5 as "functionally obsolete," which indicates the design is not ideal, but it is not rated as "structurally deficient."
"'Functionally obsolete' does not communicate anything of a structural nature," according to nationalbridges.com. "A functionally obsolete bridge may be perfectly safe and structurally sound but may be the source of traffic jams or may not have a high enough clearance to allow an oversized vehicle."
In 2010, according to the database, the bridge carried an average of 70,925 vehicles per day. The substructure was deemed in "good condition," and the superstructure and deck were described as in "satisfactory condition."
The federal database says a structural evaluation of the bridge found it "somewhat better than minimum adequacy to tolerate being left in place as is."
According to a 2012 Skagit County Public Works Department, 42 of the county's 108 bridges are 50 years or older. The document says eight of the bridges are more than 70 years old and two are over 80.
Washington state was given a C in the American Society of Civil Engineers' 2013 infrastructure report card and a C- when it came to the state's bridges. The group said more than a quarter of Washington's 7,840 bridges are considered structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
Snohomish County emergency management crews were summoned to the scene,said John Pennington of the agency. Snohomish County sheriff's office sent a helicopter and its technical water rescue team, which included divers and three boats. Arlington Rural and Silvana fire departments also were sending boats to the scene. Everett police sent their marine unit.
The American Red Cross was sending volunteers to provide first responders with water, food and other supplies, said Chuck Morrison, executive director of the Snohomish County chapter.
More volunteers were sent from Skagit and Whatcom counties because it was unclear if Snohomish County crews could reach the scene as quickly, he said.
Regional Red Cross leaders had just gotten off a plane when they heard the news, Morrison said. They're working with state disaster officials as well.
"They've got it," he said. "They're in control. We're staying in touch."
Herald reporters Rikki King, Chuck Taylor, Diana Hefley and Jerry Cornfield contributed to this report.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the make and model of one of the vehicles involved in the bridge collapse. The orange car was a Subaru Crosstrek.

Enterprise Resource Management
- 7-weeks
- 1.5 credits
- Prerequisite: MBA Core
P507 is a course about Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Their importance in today's business world becomes obvious when you consider that most Fortune 500 companies use one of the more popular ERP systems, such as SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, or Baan. In this course we will use SAP R/3 software.
What is an ERP system? Simply stated, ERP systems employ software that integrates the application programs in accounting, sales, manufacturing, and many other business functions into a common database. They operate in real-time, meaning that the exact status of the organization is always available. Further, many are global. You will gain hands-on experience with SAP R/3, the most widely used ERP system in the world.
We will use Harvard cases and HBR readings to understand the management and implementation issues associated with ERP.
A project dealing with the Outdoors Incorporated business case will be used to provide you experience in configuring ERP software and using the software to evaluate company performance. SAP R/3 will be used to configure the operations for Outdoors Incorporated.
With the configuration process complete, you will then, for example, process orders from customers, purchase from suppliers, and perform production planning.

Ceramic, Mosaic
Object name
Dish With Geometrical Decoration
Ottoman, circa 1575-80 CE
Materials and technique
Ceramic; fritware, polychrome underglaze painted on an opaque white glaze
Ø 28.5 cm
Accession number
Ottoman visual culture reached its apex under the reign of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (r. 1520-66 CE). Like his predecessors, Süleyman used art and architecture to legitimize his power and authority; unlike them, however, he initiated the creation of a royal aesthetic that would become understood as uniquely Ottoman. In addition to continuing the practice of royal portraiture, which could be transported via medals and albums throughout the empire and to foreign lands, the court's design atelier, or nakkaşhane, developed an imperial style that visually unified the Ottoman realm and distinguished it from neighbours and rivals. Before the 1550s, the Ottoman court had relied on an eclectic court culture that drew from both the Iranians to the east and the Europeans to the west. By the mid-sixteenth century, however, these foreign artistic models were synthesized into a classical Ottoman style, which coincided with the replacement of Persian with Ottoman Turkish as the official language of the court. This new artistic vocabulary was immediately recognisable in the medium of ceramics, where a selection of floral, vegetal, geometric and Chinese-inspired elements (arriving via the Timurids in fifteenth-century Iran) were painted under a transparent glaze onto a white, frit body. The tulips, rosettes, carnations, saz leaves, grape designs, and wave patterns on these dishes comprise some of the aspects of this distinctive new genre, which was canonized through architectural decoration. The dating of these beautifully painted dishes is based on sources that attest to a move of ceramic production from Istanbul (where the ceramic industry was declining in the shadow of a growing textile industry of kemha, or silk brocade) to Iznik, where potteries thrived from their close proximity to wood and other materials needed for kilns and ceramic production. The symmetrical organisation of geometric and floral ornament seen on many of these wares has been compared to other ceramics produced during the reign of Sultan Murad III (r. 1574-95 CE) and attributed to his patronage based on stylistic and technical comparison to datable architectural tiles from this period (Atasoy and Raby 1989, pp. 246-49).
