Student & Professor Focus
Outstanding students present to Virginian economists
By Dr. Alice Kassens
On March 12th and 13th, Roanoke College seniors Samantha Sterba '09 and Virginia Hopkins '09 accompanied me to the 2009 Virginia Association of Economists (VAE) 36th Annual Meeting. This trip really began, however, during the fall semester of 2008.
Samantha and Virginia are amongst our most outstanding economics majors. Last fall they were enrolled in one of the required courses for the major, my econometrics course (ECON 448). Many economics majors come to the first day of this class with trepidation, and I have created considerable anxiety each fall with terms such as "heteroskedasticity" and "serial correlation," numerous assignments and "impossible" tests, but Samantha and Virginia earned the return on the course that I have pitched since I came to Roanoke College and first taught it.
One of the requirements of the course is an original empirical 15- to 20-page paper in which the student must build an econometric model to test a hypothesis utilizing the economic theory that they have acquired over the prior three years. Samantha's paper, "Are Stimulus Checks an Effective Fiscal Policy Tool?" and Virginia's paper, "Determinants of Cigarette Consumption and Resulting Policy Recommendations," were outstanding. The papers were so good that I asked them if they would like to present their work in one of the student sessions at the VAE annual meeting, and they jumped at the opportunity. Both Samantha's and Virginia's papers were accepted for presentation, and our next task was to find funding to help get them to the meeting. Initially the funding search was unfruitful, but I was soon directed to Dr. Jack Steehler, Thornhill Professor of Chemistry and Director of Students/Faculty Research, and his student travel fund. He encouraged the students' applications and ultimately funded their entire trip. (Thanks Jack!)
The first evening at the VAE included a banquet and lecture. Roanoke College took the stage when our own Dr. Garry Fleming was named the Association's Distinguished Fellow. He is Roanoke's Shannon Professor of Economics and former President of the Virginia Association of Economists.
The next day, however, was all about Samantha and Virginia. I chaired their session and was more nervous for their presentation than I was for my own, which would take place later in the day. I had all of the confidence in the world for our young economists, but I also knew the apprehension and worry that accompany one's first professional presentation. My nerves immediately subsided when I called Samantha to the podium. She had her usual smile and glint in her eye and, without pause, launched into her presentation. Samantha was at ease from start to finish, eloquently making her case and confidently defending her results. Virginia picked up where Samantha left off, flashing a smile to the audience, letting all know that they had a tough act to follow. Indeed they did, as Virginia worked her way through her elasticity estimates like a seasoned professional.
It is difficult for me to put into words just how proud I am of these young ladies. The four years of their economics education culminated in two outstanding performances in Richmond, Virginia, and I had the privilege of witnessing it. Sitting in the audience watching them perform with such poise and self-assurance, I was overwhelmed with joy and pride. In fact, their presentations were the two proudest moments of my academic career. Give these ladies a pat on the back when you see them around campus this spring, as they showed all present in Richmond just what Roanoke College has to offer. To their parents: Know how honored we all are to have taught such bright scholars. Finally, for the students currently signing up for econometrics for the fall of 2009, if you dedicate yourselves the way these students did, you too can take the step into the world of professional economists, gain tremendous experience and skills and reap a high rate of return. See you in August!

Hand Must Mind Must Work, 2014
This selection of works is drawn from key works in the extensive Printmaking Archive which forms one of the most substantial resources in the RCA Special Collections. The resource comprises work by students from the early 1960s (when systematic collecting began) to the present day with some earlier prints from the 1890s. It also houses editioned prints made in the workshops as part of the Printmaking Appeal Fund, a fundraising initiative formalised by Alistair Grant in the 1980s.
Within print the use of archives and documents as sources and substances for art practice is widespread. We are delighted that the interest of the Christies Education students has led to this chance to revisit some aspects of our archive.
Reactivating the archive through display or by making work in response to it allows the works to circulate in new ways. In 2011 the graduating students, staff and invited guests made prints on a Shakespeare related theme in response to a set of lithographs made in 1961. These were shown in Stratford-upon-Avon to mark the opening of the new RSC theatre.
Included in the show are prints made by artists by the RCA as donations to the appeal fund. The most recent print by Mark Titchner will be launched at the show and also enter our archive. Publications including artists' books, catalogues and the programme's own publications alongside correspondence will form part of the display and show a small fragment of the accumulated riches of this unique archive which maps shifts in educational, technical, and collaborative aspects of the printed multiple.

Multiplied Art Fair is delighted to announced this year's affiliated charity Create London:
Create exists to explore the ways artists can contribute to the lives of people in cities. We help artists to connect more closely with communities through an ambitious programme of projects.
Our work is primarily focused in east London, home to more artists and art organisations than anywhere in Europe, and one of the most economically deprived parts of the UK.
We commission art anywhere. Unlike a gallery or theatre we have no fixed public space, preferring to work in the places people encounter every day. Working collaboratively informs everything we do and our projects are driven by artists, issues and places.
Over the last six years we have produced a number of large-scale public installations including a cinema in a disused undercroft on the A12 motorway; helped to unlock people's ability to solve community problems and think creatively through the School of the Imagination by Marcus Coates; and commissioned almost 100 artists to deliver some the most ambitious projects of their careers.

Hadrian Garrard, Director
3D Printing - A method used for the manufacture of a three dimensional object from a design or a scanned object through 'additive processes'. An industrial robot builds up layer after layer of the chosen material in order to make a complete form.
Aquatint - An intaglio process in which tone is created by treating a plate with fine particles of acid-resistant material (like powdered resin) and then placing the plate in an acid bath. The acid bites into the plate between the grains of resin and, when printed, the mass of tiny spots produces a textured area with tonal effects similar to watercolour wash.
Artist's Proof - Impressions printed especially for the artist and excluded from the numbering of an edition, but exactly like the editioned prints in every other respect. Usually appears as 'A.P.'
Chine Appliqué/Chine Collé - A method of adhering a thin paper, sometimes of a different colour or texture, onto a larger, heavier sheet during the printing process using glue or water to dampen and coat the papers.
Digital Print - A method of printing a digital image, usually with a laser or inkjet printer.
Drypoint - An intaglio process in which a plate is marked or incised directly with a needle. The drypoint line can look very much like an etched line but is usually lighter.
Edition - The total number of impressions pulled off a single image or a set of images from the same matrix. To this number the artist usually authorises the addition of a small number of artist's, printer's, publisher's and other proofs.
Embossing - A process used to create a raised surface or raised element, but printed without ink.
Engraving - An intaglio process in which a plate is marked or incised directly with a burin or other metal-marking tool. No acid is used in this process since the design is dug out by hand. An engraved line can range from very deep and wide, to lighter and thinner and is often characterised by a pointed end signalling the exit of the 'v' shaped burin from the metal.
Etching - An intaglio process in which a plate is treated with an acid-resistant ground. The artist then draws through the ground with various tools to expose the metal. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath where the acid 'bites' or chemically dissolves the exposed lines. The metal plate is therefore 'carved' or 'etched' by the acid rather than by a tool directly in the metal.
Heliogravure - A method of making a photo-etched or photogravure plate using an aquatint texture directly on the plate to create tone.
Intaglio - All matrices which have either been cut into or 'bitten' into. The resulting 'dug out' lines are printed. Intaglio processes include etching, aquatint, engraving, mezzotint and metal engravings, among others.
Linocut - A relief process, like a woodcut, where the artist carves the design out of the linoleum or linoleum mounted onto wood. What remains is printed, rather than what is cut away.
Lithography - A planographic printing process where a drawing is made directly on a stone or other smooth matrix with greasy materials such as lithographic crayon. The surface is then dampened with water which is repelled by the greasy areas. The surface is then rolled with greasy printing ink which adheres only to the greasy areas and is itself repelled by the areas which have water. The drawn image is then printed.
Matrix - The base from which the print is made. This can be anything – a metal plate or lithographic stone, a potato or vinyl record, a stencil – anything from which you can print.
Mezzotint - An intaglio method in which the entire surface of the plate is roughened by a spiked tool ('rocker') so that, if inked, the entire plate would print in solid black. The artist then works from 'black' to 'white' by scraping (or burnishing) out areas to produce lighter tones.
Monotype - A unique image printed from an unworked, smooth, metal or glass surface painted in ink by the artist.
Monoprint - A print which has as its base an etching, lithograph or woodcut and which is then uniquely altered by monotype colouring, unique inking or choices in paper colour.
Offset Printing - Method of printing in which the inked image from a lithographic stone, a metal plate or other matrix is first transferred to an intermediary such as a rubber cylinder or blanket and then to paper, thus creating an image in the same direction as the original (as opposed to the reversed image achieved by traditional methods of printing).
Photo-etching/Photogravure - A transparency of a photograph is made on glass from the negative of the original photograph. Through chemical processes, the transparency is transferred to and etched into a copper engraving plate.
Photo-lithograph - A process in which an image is produced on a lithographic plate by photographic means.
Pochoir - A printing process using stencils, originally used to simulate hand colouring.
Printer's Proofs - Impressions printed especially for the printer(s) and excluded from the numbering of an edition, but exactly like the editioned prints in every other respect. Usually appears as 'P.P.'.
Publisher - The person or entity that subsidises and often initiates the making of a print edition or portfolio and who also disseminates the prints.
Relief Printing - When the image is printed from the raised or uncarved portion of the matrix. Relief processes include woodcuts and linocuts, among others.
Soft-ground Etching - A grease, such as tallow is added to the surface of the plate. A sheet of thin paper is laid over the surface. The artist draws on the paper causing a line of the grease to attach itself to the paper. When the paper is lifted, the portion of the grease that attached itself is peeled away leaving soft lines for the acid to bite. The effect achieved is similar to a crayon drawing.
Screenprint/silkscreen - A printing process using stencils to block out areas which are then printed through silk, synthetic fabric or metal mesh.
State - An impression taken from the plate at a particular moment or stage of development and distinguished from impressions taken at other times during the process. The final state is the state from which editions are generally pulled, although some artists pull several impressions in each state.
Woodcut - A relief technique where the image or design is left raised above what is carved out of the wood. What is not carved is printed.

Auburn, AL (Sports Network) - Drew Alleman's 30-yard field goal was the difference as No. 2 LSU edged Auburn, 12-10, in a defensive struggle on Saturday.
Zach Mettenberger completed 15-of-27 passes for 169 yards for LSU (4-0, 1-0 SEC), which extended its win streak over unranked teams to 16 games.
"I made a couple mistakes early on, but (the win) really showed the character of this team," Mettenberger remarked. "It got tough late, but we were able to come out of this one with the win."
Spencer Ware totaled 134 yards of offense in the victory, carrying the ball 16 times for 90 yards and a touchdown and adding 44 yards on two receptions.
Kiehl Frazier went 13-for-22 through the air for just 97 yards and two interceptions for Auburn (1-3, 0-2), which was held to 183 total yards and turned the ball over three times.
"We played against our second top-10 team and had chances to win the game," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. "We didn't finish and it is disappointing, but our goal every week is to improve."
LSU trailed, 10-9, at the half, but was able to go on top with the help of a costly turnover by Auburn late in the third quarter as Auburn's Quan Brey muffed a punt and LSU's Jarvis Landry recovered the ball at the Auburn 48.
Kadron Boone's 29-yard reception then moved the ball down to the Auburn 22- yard line, but LSU would not record another first down and was forced to settle for Alleman's 30-yard field goal.
Onterio McCalebb took the ensuing kickoff 43 yards up the middle to give Auburn the ball at its own 44, but Frazier failed to take advantage of the favorable field position when he floated a pass to the left side that was intercepted by Luke Muncie at the LSU 44.
LSU was forced to punt, though, and it remained a 12-10 game heading into the fourth quarter.
Neither team was able to advance past midfield throughout the fourth until LSU converted a 3rd-and-4 at their own 33 with a 33-yard catch-and-run by Ware, placing the ball at the Auburn 34 with 2:39 left in the game.
LSU would not be able to run out the remainder of the clock and Auburn got the ball back at its own 20 with 39 seconds left after Alleman missed a 34-yard field goal wide right, but Frazier's final pass as time expired was picked off by Tharold Simon to seal the win.
LSU moved its first possession of the game all the way down to the Auburn 2- yard line after holding Auburn to a three-and-out, but a Mettenberger fumble was recovered by Auburn at the one.
On the next play, however, Tre Mason was tackled for a loss inside the end zone by Sam Montgomery for a safety.
Ware's 28-yard rush then highlighted a 9-play, 59-yard drive that Michael Ford capped with a 1-yard touchdown run to the left side, giving LSU a 9-0 lead with just over four minutes left in the first quarter.
LSU later got the ball back following another Auburn three-and-out, but Mettenberger had the ball punched out of his hands during a sack by Corey Lemonier and Auburn recovered at the LSU 26.
Mason reeled off a 26-yard rush down the left sideline on the second play of the drive before McCalebb took a handoff to the left side of the line and into the end zone from four yards out on the final play of the first quarter to bring Auburn within 9-7.
The teams traded punts from there until Emory Blake hauled in a 22-yard pass over the middle on a 3rd-and-9 to move Auburn deep into LSU territory and set up Cody Parkey's 40-yard field goal with 1:21 left in the first half.
Ware broke through the middle of the line for a 30-yard gain on the first play of the ensuing drive, but LSU would not manage another first down to keep it a 10-9 game at the half.
LSU is 4-0 for the sixth straight year, extending a school record ... LSU
improved to 48-4 against unranked teams under coach Les Miles ... The home
team had won 12 of the last 13 meetings between the teams ... LSU leads the
all-time series between the schools, 25-20-1 ... Mason had 54 yards on nine
carries in defeat ... LSU totaled 351 yards of offense.

Some people like to joke about giving up their New Year Resolutions for Lent. It's good for a laugh, but also illustrates how many people give up on their goals as quarter one draws to a close. For some, it's harder than they thought it would be. For others, a long-term grind makes the whole thing too tedious to carry out to fruition.
If you're having trouble sticking to your resolution as the weather grows warmer, try one of these tricks from productivity experts to push through and keep that promise you made to yourself.
1. Insert Time Limits
Resolutions with no clear beginning or end are destined for failure. Human beings are motivated by success and benchmarks. Try putting your resolution into a time frame and see how much better you feel about it.
Bad Example: "I will never eat ice cream again."
Good Example: "I won't eat ice cream until I reach my goal weight."
2. Get Back on the Horse
If you've already quit on your resolution, call a Mulligan and start again. Forgive yourself for your earlier mistake and start fresh tomorrow morning. If you mess up again in three weeks, get back on the horse at the beginning of week four. A little progress beats no progress at all.
Bad Example: "I give up. I'll never run a 10-minute mile."
Good Example: "A 10:30 mile is better than no mile at all, and we'll see if we can't hit 10:15 by Spring Break."
3. Write it Down
You're always excited about your resolution on January 1, but it slides into the back of your attention as the weeks roll by. Write your goal down someplace you'll see it often, like a post-it on your monitor, a note on your steering wheel, or in dry-erase marker on your bathroom mirror.
Bad Example: Leaving the bar napkin you wrote the resolution on in your junk drawer.
Good Example: Setting a calendar alarm on your phone to call you every morning and remind you.
4. Bribe Yourself
Bribery gets a bad rap. Your boss bribes you to come to work. You teachers bribed you with good grades. There is absolutely nothing wrong with bribing yourself for small successes with your resolution. Just be sensible with the reward.
Bad Example: "If I make it through the morning without smoking, I get a cigarette at my lunch break."
Good Example: "I'll put the money I would spend on cigarettes in a jar, then splurge on a shopping spree whenever it hits $200."
5. Find a Buddy
Few things improve your accountability like having to share your progress with somebody you care about. Find a workout partner for exercise resolutions, a weigh-in buddy for weight loss resolutions, or just a mutual coach to demand progress reports.
Bad Example: Complaining to friends about how you never achieve your resolutions.
Good Example: Meeting weekly with a friend to discuss results and strategies.
6. Narrow the Focus
Some resolutions are simply too broad, or too sweeping, to be reasonably accomplished. If you find you're frustrated with your resolution because you feel you never make headway, this could be why. Reassess the goal and then rephrase it in a more manageable format.
Bad Example: "This year I resolve to lose weight."
Good Example: "I'll lose 12 pounds this year, at a rate of one pound a month."
Readers, what resolutions have you dropped in your life? What do you think would have happened if you'd applied one of these strategies?

About TZM
Founded in 2008, The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) is a sustainability advocacy group that operates through a network of regional chapters, project teams, public events, media expressions and charity operations. TZM's activism is explicitly based on non-violent methods of communication with the core focus on educating the public about the true root sources of many common personal, social and ecological problems today, coupled with the vast problem solving and humanity improving potential science and technology has now enabled, but yet goes unapplied due to barriers inherent in the current, established social system.
The Movement's principle focus includes the recognition that the majority of the social problems which plague the human species at this time are not the sole result of some institutional corruption, scarcity, a political policy, a flaw of "human nature" or other commonly held assumptions of causality in the activist community. Rather, The Movement recognizes that issues such as poverty, corruption, collapse, homelessness, war, starvation and the like appear to be "Symptoms" born out of an outdated social structure.
About Toronto Chapter
The Zeitgeist Toronto chapter started in January 2009 with its first meeting at the Toronto public library for the planning of the local event call: Z-Day (zeitgeist day) as part of the first global movement event. Since then, the chapter has done many events, public meetings, invitations by universities, screenings, town hall, awareness campaigns, radio and Internet media. The chapter also had been involved in social activities as such food collection and donation, as well in connection or partnership with another mind like groups.
What is a Chapter?
A chapter is defined as a group of active members of the Zeitgeist Movement in a particular region that serves and functions as an accurate representation of the Movement in their respective region. The Zeitgeist Movement has an organized structure built upon chapters to facilitate collective activism in an organized manner as well as the flow of information relating to a vast range of members.
What does a chapter ?
A TZM chapter establishes an organizational infrastructure in a given region for volunteers to team up and start developing projects with educational purposes. Which promote the movement train of thought. This primary educational focus rests on the assumption that for society to fully embrace science at its core and consequentially to move on a more sustainable and humane direction, the majority of the population needs to first understand the importance and mechanisms of science and the scientific method as well as attain a sustainable set of core values that promote mutual well being.
Such value and education shift should effectively generate change in the socio economic system towards a Natural Law / Resourced Based Economic Model by allowing and inspiring further types of activity such as policy changes, scientific and technological developments, societal trends than can progressively shift institutional power, and so on.
The activities chapters can actively engage in are quite diverse and largely subjected to the volunteer's creativity and knowledge set.
TZM Understanding
TZM seeks to communicate a Train of Thought with regard to how understanding and applying Scientific Reasoning can improve human society with respect to public health and societal sustainability. It seeks to generate an educated critical mass globally for the acceptance and implementation of this Train of Thought and hence the self-evident notions for social design that emerge from that logic. This is done through many programs and events, such as Zeitgeist Day, The Zeitgeist Media Festival, monthly Chapter Town-halls, Newsletters, Press Releases, Lectures, Radio shows, Social Networking, targeted Think Tank projects, and other mediums.
TZM works not only to create awareness of such problems and their true root causes (and hence logic for resolution), it also works to express the incredible potential we have, beyond such direct problem solving, to greatly improve the human condition in general, solving problems which, in fact, have not yet even been realized. This is initiated by embracing the very nature of scientific reasoning where the establishment of a near empirical train of thought takes precedence over everything else in importance. A train of thought by which societal organization as a whole can find a more accurate context for sustainability and efficiency on a scale never before seen, through an active recognition (and application) of the scientific method.
TZM is hence loyal to this train of thought, not figures, institutions or temporal technological advancements. Rather than follow a person or design, TZM follows this self-generating premise of understanding and it hence operates in a non-centralized, holographic manner, with this train of thought as the origin of influence for action.
There are multiple ways to help TZM to spread its train of thought
The world you see today, full of war, corruption, elitism, pollution, poverty, epidemic disease, human rights abuses, inequality and crime is the result of these divisions. The movement itself is not a centralized construct. We are not here to lead, but to organize and educate.

Blizzard poster Bashiok broke the news of AVR's impending demise, citing its invasive nature and the fact that it takes away from the need for on-the-spot decision making:
The full announcement after the break.
We're making this change for two reasons. The invasive nature of a mod altering and/or interacting with the game world (virtually or directly) is not intended and not something we will allow. World of Warcraft UI addons are never intended to interact with the game world itself. This is mirrored in our stance and restriction of model and texture alterations. The second reason is that it removes too much player reaction and decision-making while facing dungeon and raid encounters. While some other mods also work to this end, we find that AVR and the act of visualizing strategy within the game world simply goes beyond what we're willing to allow.
The change we're making in attempts to break the functionality is light in its touch and approach. When blocking any functionality we run the risk of affecting other mods, but we've targeted the changes as carefully as possible. If we find that the AVR mod (or any mod attempting to replicate its functions) are usable after 3.3.5 we will take further, more drastic steps.
Reaction to the news will surely be mixed -- there are plenty of purists who feel that AVR's very existence goes against what Warcraft is supposed to be about, and there are plenty of people who find AVR an invaluable tool that does little more than enhance their playing experience.
What's your reaction to the news? Did Blizzard go too far, or were they right in stamping out a blight on the World of Warcraft?

Yes I am aware that it takes up two slots on the back of the case, not on the motherboard
by 2 slot card they mean to say it takes up 2 pcie slots at the back of the case.. not on the motherboard.. just letting you know if your unaware of that?
1 slot for ventilation and one for the output ports like VGA.
Well I want to play those games but if something in the future comes out (Bioshock Infinte comes to mind) I want to be able to play it too. I have no problem either playing at medium-medium high. I mean if I buy a new card, I rather not have to play at low for 2012-mid 2013 games....I want it to last for a while at least
anyway if you want to just play those titles and have no interest in high fps's or maybe fps gaming, anything gtx 550ti 560ti 650 660 is for you.. u can probably pick up the 550ti for alot less now and it should play all the games you mentioned on medium or low on that resolution.
if you want a AMD here is one 6850, this card is the best value for money i have heard and my friend uses it.. he plays all the latest games on 720p which is about the same resolution as of you and he has no lags or frame skips.
hope that helps.

OK, I guess it makes sense
The reason someone will ask for the rest of your system specs is an issue referred to as a bottleneck.
This issue occurs when specific components are less powerful than others. So let us say you buy this new card, but you have a lower end CPU. In that case then you will wind up with lower performance still.
So the question is asked to help make sure that a faster GPU will actually matter.
Make sense?
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:40
No, I can turn it up a lo t more its just the optimal resolution for my monitor. I doubt my CPU is a bottleneck for higher resolutions
Also playing at 1024x768 does not make sense with newer systems. The reason being that you are often limited by the CPU at that resolution.

Tyler came to play Saturday and his last name wasn't Bray.
Mississippi State junior quarterback Tyler Russell had an outstanding night at Davis Wade Stadium leading his team to a 41-31 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers.
Going into the game, Tennessee signal caller Tyler Bray and his talented group of receivers received a great deal of credit for their ability and deservedly so. The Vols have put up some good numbers in the passing game this season.
Obviously as the night progressed in Starkville, it was Russell and the Bulldogs who stole the show.
The Meridian native finished the game by completing 23 of 37 pass attempts for 291 yards and a pair of touchdowns for MSU. Bray was only 13-of-24 passing for 148 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
Russell started off hot in the game by collecting 199 yards passing in the first half alone. By halftime, Russell had reached the 690-yard mark with six touchdowns and no interceptions in three Southeastern Conference games.
"I came out strong in the first half and made some throws," Russell
said. "The offensive line did a great job. We did what we had to do."
Even though there were times in the second half where Russell wasn't as sharp, he still managed the game well enough to help his team enjoy success.
The throws he made to Chad Bumphis in the fourth quarter were clutch and things of beauty.
The 9-yard scoring pass with 9 seconds left in the game that Russell made to Malcolm Johnson sealed the win for the Bulldogs.
Credit has to be given to Johnson as well. This is a guy who missed the first five games of the season due to an injury and came up with a nifty toe dance in the back of the end zone for six points.
After that, all Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley could do was throw down the towel that he had been wiping his brow with the entire game. Dooley worked the game from the press box due to hip surgery last week.
It was a tremendous win for Russell and the Bulldogs. He is quickly establishing himself as a winner for MSU.
Reaching 6-0 is something the Bulldogs have not seen since the 1999 season.
If not for Russell, MSU probably doesn't reach this point undefeated and are already bowl eligible. This is the third consecutive season the Bulldogs are eligible for postseason under coach Dan Mullen's tenure.
With Russell's leadership and desire, there could be more nice moments on the way for Mississippi State before this season is done.

UNCW Explores the Contemporary Past with Anthropologist Maria Starzmann
Monday, November 19, 2012
The UNCW Department of Anthropology has invited international scholar Maria Starzmann from Universität Berlin, Germany, for a lecture about excavating a Nazi labor camp. The 6 p.m., Nov. 26 event is free and open to the public. The lecture will be held in the Wrightsville Beach Room, Fisher Student Center, UNCW campus.
"Based on the results from archaeological excavations at a former Nazi forced labor camp in Berlin, Germany, I discuss the links between materiality and memory," Starzmann said in a description of her presentation. "More specifically, by way of analyzing the role of objects in the production of stories and life histories, I show possibilities for remembering the Nazi past in ways that are accountable to those who remember the past in the present as well as to those who are the subjects of our memories."
Starzmann, an anthropological archaeologist, focuses on the study of memory and materiality, post-colonial theories, and critical investigations of the history and practice of archaeology. She is currently an assistant professor with the Institute of Middle Eastern Archaeology at Free University Berlin and is affiliated with the Department of Anthropology at Binghamton University as an adjunct research associate.

Patraw wrote:I checked out a book from the library on jewelry making one time, and the author had a metal-casting technique he used with a cuttle bone (those things that pet birds use to sharpen their beaks). Basically, you cut the cuttle bone in half, carve out the object you want to cast (I believe he was doing a cross or a sword), seal it back together, and then pour your liquid metal in. The cuttle bone gets charred something fierce, so it's only good for one go, but it works. Obviously this will only work if you're making something relatively small and thin, but for stuff like toy swords or axes, it'd be ideal and pretty cheap.
How about simple dirt? You could bury your wax sculpt in tightly packed dirt and pour the liquid metal into that. I saw a scientist do that on television with an (empty) anthill (he wanted to make a model of the ant's tunnels and caverns, which ended up looking like an inverted tree, it was pretty cool). I think he used brass for the metal, but I don't remember for sure. I suppose you'd probably get some of the dirt's gritty texture on the surface of your cast, but, depending on what you're making, that might actually be desirable (i.e., pitted metal, textured monster skin, etc.)

City racks up VOSHA violationsBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | December 06,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Rutland City Mayor Christopher Louras talks with a newspaper reporter on the phone about code violations by the city, including fire extinguishers found at City Hall years past inspection.The city racked up 18 workplace safety violations in a recent surprise inspection by the state.
The inspections by the Vermont Occupational Safety and Health Administration found fire extinguishers years past inspection, lack of appropriate safety equipment, damaged equipment and other violations, most of which it classified as "serious."
Violation notices sent out by the state last month indicate the city is facing fines totaling $7,925.
"There's no issue there that's too small or too petty to be important," Mayor Christopher Louras said Wednesday. "Individuals can get hurt in the workplace. Something as seemingly benign as a tripping hazard can be as dangerous as a faulty vehicle lift."
Louras said most of the violations had been corrected.
The inspections, which took place in early October, were the first of the city by VOSHA in 12 years. Louras said the inspectors told city officials the surprise inspections were partly random and partly because of how long the city had gone uninspected.
A call to VOSHA manager Robert McLeod went unreturned Wednesday, but the notices sent to the city listed 18 violations divided among nine citations.
In addition to the ones mentioned above, the city had uncertified personnel operating a forklift, machinery at Giorgetti athletic complex that lacked proper guards, insufficient space around electronic equipment, a broken outlet at the Spruce Street public works garage and unlabeled chemicals in the basement of the Godnick Adult Center.
City buildings lacked signs marked with their approved loads, an outlet box at the police station was missing a cover, and several city buildings saw inappropriate use of extension cords and overloaded (in safety standard terms) electrical circuits.
The Recreation Department lacked a written hazard communication program, the Department of Public Works lacked an energy control program and a policy on the voluntary use of half-face respirators at the Spruce Street garage and the Police Department had been unable to locate a copy of its exposure control plan.
Two violations dealt with the DPW kitchenette in City Hall — soda cans had not been removed and mouse droppings were found on the floor.
Louras said the violations had been or were in the process of being addressed, with the exception of one — White's Pool lacks an eye-flushing station in case workers got caustic chemicals stored on-site in their faces. Louras said that one will be addressed later as nobody is at White's Pool at present.
Electrical work under way at City Hall will be paid out of the contingency fund or the City Hall maintenance line, Louras said.
The Board of Aldermen briefly discussed the violations during their meeting Monday, and referred the issue to the General Committee to discuss formulating a policy to prevent future violations.
Louras said the city has reduced its workers' compensation rates over the last five years and that he looked at addressing workplace safety issues as a continuation of that effort. He also said the inspections highlighted the need for a full-time human resources position in City Hall to assure policies are in place to keep the city conforming to state regulations.
"It was actually rather good timing that we received the inspection as the budget was being drafted because I was leaning toward a full-time HR person anyway," Louras said.

From casual paddle boarders to professionals, The House supplies the paddles you most desire. Check out the variations of different lengths and weight that suit you best, and leave it to us to ship it out within 24 hours of purchase, Monday-Friday!
SUP Paddles
Choosing The Right SUP Paddle
With increased demand and decreased cost of production, the cost of stand up paddle (SUP) boards have certainly come down the past couple of years. Paddles are a different story. They need to withstand a lot more abuse and stress than boards. Simply put, if the paddle isn't made well, it's highly prone to breakage and it just won't perform well on the water. It's important to learn about your gear, especially when buying for the first time, so read on find out how choose your perfect paddle.
What Kind of Paddler Are You?
- Will you be surfing or flat water paddling?
- What is your fitness and skill level?
- What kind of board do you have?
Paddle Construction
Before having a panic attack over the varying prices of paddles, first consider the components and essential materials used to make a quality paddle. The paddle consists of the blade, shaft and handle, each affecting the ergonomics of the paddler as well as the efficiency of the paddle stroke. A less expensive paddle has an aluminum shaft with plastic handle and blade. Viewed as beginner paddles, these are the most durable paddles on the market. Performance paddles, on the other hand, typically have carbon fiber blades and fiberglass shafts, both of which are far lighter weight than aluminum and plastic. Carbon fiber has incredible strength to weight ratio making it ideal for smoother strokes, using less energy. In a nutshell, if you're a novice paddler or only plan on cursing on flat water a few times a month, a less expensive paddle will do the trick. If you have a few seasons under your belt or if you're looking for a little more excitement with your paddling, lighter weight materials will greatly enhance your experience on the water. And of course, if you're racing or plan to paddle for extended periods of time, you'll definitely need to drop a little more cash on a performance paddle to reduce fatigue and to go faster.
Carbon Fiber SUP Paddle-
- Offer a better weight to power ratio.
- Perfect for surfing or long distance paddling.
- Lighter
- Higher Cost, typicality $179-$300.
Adjustable Aluminum SUP Paddles-
- Strong and Durable
- Less expensive $89-$150
- Heavier
- Perfect paddle for the first purchase of a passionate SUP family
Blade Size and Shape
Paddling style and body size are the main factors to consider when choosing a blade size. A smaller person should stick to a smaller blade for more control and less fatigue. You'd think that a larger person should always use a larger blade, but many larger people still prefer a smaller blade due to their paddling style. A high, fast cadence style of paddling will be more efficient with a smaller blade. Dynamic turning with quick, short strokes will be easier with a smaller blade. Larger blades put more power into a lower cadence stroke. Such a blade is helpful when trying to get into waves for surfing. If your paddling style depends on the day, give preference to your distance paddling needs. You'll be much happier with a smaller blade that won't tire your arms and shoulders out.
Length of Paddle
As a general rule of thumb, the paddle should be 6″ to 10″ longer than your height (shoes off!). A longer paddle provides a longer, stronger stroke for flat water SUPing. A shorter paddle enables the quicker, shorter strokes needed to navigate more challenging water conditions and waves. Adjustable paddles are recommended for people who plan to share their paddle with friends and family. While not performance paddles so to speak, adjustable are still perfect for most recreational paddlers and will deliver for years to come.
Like any other sport, it's not a bad idea to 'test the waters' before throwing down on the highest end gear. First timers, a less expensive paddle will guarantee a summer of fun. And hey, if the paddle was only $99 and you found your new calling with stand up paddle boarding, then treat yourself to a performance paddle next summer. You can always share your old paddle with friends or other newbies!

This is one of the most effective topical pain relievers according to my patients. Thanks for the great pricing.
Love this product! So do my clients! Used bio freeze for years, but after first trying Cryoderm, never went back. Can't keep it on the shelf.
this is the best stuff I have ever used. It is a lot better than biofreeze. This gets colder and has a mild topical deadner in it. I love it. I use it on my clients every day.
I use this mixed with a squirt of oil and everyone of my clients love it in muscle strains ! It's amazing and they especially like that it's arnica it's very beneficial for pain relief .its my favorite !
I purchased 4 different cooling products to compare them: Sombra Cool Therapy, CryoDerm, Soothing Touch Herbal Ice, and Biofreeze. Sombra won, hands down, for overall use. It cooled quickly, has a nice scent, and kept the coolness for a reasonable time.
CryoDerm came in a fast second. The cold held longer than Sombra, and felt deeper, but the scent tends more towards the mediciney side.
Soothing Touch came in third. It has a lovely scent, but the effects weren't as deep or as long lasting as the other products. Just like it's Heat product, the label specifically mentions use "after a hard workout". So I think it's a more sports-oriented product, and perhaps not for a wide-range of massage modalities.
Biofreeze came in fourth, which surprised me since it seems to be the go-to product of many therapists and spas. The scent is mild, but still mediciney. The cooling effect took a while to sink in, and didn't last as long as Sombra or CryoDerm. This would be a fine mild-effect product, but I'd choose one of the others before this one.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that MSDS be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation.

A lawsuit filed by Alaga LLC, established in
Mayor Greg Brudnicki was served with the complaint at his business last Wednesday.
Brudnicki declined to comment.
At the time of the city's denial for rezoning, though, Brudnicki said developers should be able to go to a bank, "borrow the difference and build that project."
"If there's a need [in the community] you should be able to prove that to a banker," he said.
Arbours at
However, commissioners halted the project at the land-use change phase. Developers were asking the land, zoned as "general commercial," change to "mixed use," which would allow for an affordable senior housing complex with amenities geared toward the "elderly."
But dissenting voters did not see a demonstrable need for another senior housing complex across
"I don't believe there is a need," said Commissioner John Kady, at the March commission meeting. "Speaking with people and looking at the database the Florida Housing Corporation looks at to determine numbers, what I saw was a much higher ownership percentage by the elderly of this area and vacancy rates were led to believe."
Kady could not be reached for comment as of Thursday.
A feasibility study, conducted by the developers, stated there are only two comparable affordable properties in the
The study cites a February survey stating both are at capacity with waiting lists.
Alaga LLC claimed the city had no scientific evidence to support the denial for a zoning change.
"The only fact based evidence … are the petitioner's application and land use division staff report," stated the lawsuit. "Both are positive on all issues and support approval of the rezoning request."
If the city cannot produce substantial evidence, Alaga LLC is asking the court quash the city's decision and direct commissioners to grant Alaga LLC's request.

Visiting terrain in Westport, Connecticut
This past weekend I had the great pleasure of visiting one of my favorite shops, terrain, in Westport, Connecticut.
The reason for my visit was to help celebrate the Heirloom Tomato Festival and Made in America Marketplace, which was a blast. We featured some of our special candle blends exclusively for terrain: Heirloom Tomato, Patchouli and Vintage Saddle.
I wanted to share some of my snapshots from the day with you and if you were unable to attend, you can still try one of our exclusive terrain candles at home! Pick up our Vintage Saddle candle here. It was a lovely store with a great staff, and I really had a wonderful time meeting some of our fans!

Under the hood of the Fisker Karma is a GM-sourced 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is in no way connected to the wheels. Bolted directly to a generator, the 260-hp engine's sole assignment is to create electricity. The motivation to move this 5400-pound sedan comes from two electric motors attached to the rear differential. With a total output of 402 hp and 981 lb-ft of torque, the Karma promises brisk acceleration -- it takes fewer than six seconds to reach 60 mph, according to the manufacturer. Of course, that's only in Sport mode, where both the batteries and the gas engine provide power to the electric motors. In EV-only mode, the Karma needs almost eight seconds to reach 60 mph. Its wheelbase is as lengthy as a long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-class, but the Karma is about ten inches shorter, 4.4 inches wider, and 5.6 shocking inches lower, giving it absolutely stunning proportions. Its high style is also evident in the interior, which has a center-console touchscreen for most secondary controls. Astute observers will notice some GM-sourced switchgear, but this cabin is as fashionable as it gets. The Karma is scheduled to go on sale this fall, pending EPA and CARB certification. Early test drives demonstrated its remarkable handling -- and Fisker showed a wagon version, called the Surf, at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show. Should the Karma be successful, it'll be joined in the marketplace by a convertible and Fisker's next effort, a mid-size sedan that will be more affordable.

Just a few short years ago, GM announced the return of America's favorite muscle car: the Camaro. No doubt every enthusiast was hopeful that the fifth-generation Camaro would offer more muscle and style than where its predecessor left off in 2002. That being said, the car would have to be something very special, since the fourth-generation SS's were certainly no slouches in the horsepower department. The SS was conservatively rated at 325 tire-shredding hp, but big power alone wasn't enough to lift the Camaro's declining sales numbers. Were Americans getting tired of late-model muscle cars, or were they just tired of the Camaro?
That question was answered in 2009 when GM offered Camaro enthusiasts a new top-notch hot rod with tons of horsepower and a restyling overhaul that featured retro cues from its distant, first-generation cousin. Those features, combined with the handling and functionality of a late-model sports car, and it was obvious the Camaro was back-and sales have proven so.
Jerry Noonan is a late-model Camaro guy through and through. He has a number of special edition fourth-gens in his garage that include some serious Berger/GMMG monsters. In fact, his '02 GMMG-built Dick Harrell Edition Camaro Supercar graced the cover of our August 2007 issue. If you remember that cover image (massive burnout photo), you'll realize this guy drives his cars like he stole 'em.
With the '10 production Camaro finally available, Jerry knew he'd have to have one in his garage, but it would need to be something special. "I knew within a short period of time a huge number of car builders would be coming out with upgrade packages for the new Camaro, but I was curious to see how they would compare to the Berger upgraded cars. With Berger's long history in the Camaro performance world, they would be hard to beat. While bouncing around on the Internet one morning, my wife walked by and noticed what I was up to and said, 'Just get it from Berger. You're happy with the other cars.' She was right, so I called Matt Berger and Dick Jacques at Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, Michigan."
Informed that Berger would only be building 20 Camaros for 2010, Jerry wanted in. He went for the standard upgrade package knowing there would be color change involved, too. The difficult decision then became figuring out exactly what color to go with. Owner of Noonan's Auto Center in Monroe Township, New Jersey, Jerry is very particular about the looks and quality of his hot rods, so he and his son Michael, who happens to own a couple Camaros himself, went back and forth discussing what color combination would best fit the car. In a past life Jerry was a Corvette guy and, in his mind, there was something about Jet Stream Blue (a Corvette color) that he thought would look great on his new Camaro. It was settled.
With the upgrade process in full swing, Berger's two top painters, Chris Wirgau and Keith Wilkerson, expertly applied the Dupont waterborn pigment. The custom black SS stripes and blacked-out tail panel converted Jerry's garden-variety black 2SS paintjob into a standout, personalized scheme. The Berger ensemble also includes SS fender badges, a Berger numbered dash plaque, a "Prescribed by Berger" engine compartment decal, a chrome "By Berger" rear emblem, and a few other tasty nuggets that set it apart from the masses.
Ripe pickings for a Magnuson 2300 TVS supercharger, the 376ci LS7 comes in at 10.7:1 compression. GM rates the stock horsepower numbers at 426, but with the aftermarket huffer bolted on, this bad boy produces a stout 610 to the flywheel-an easy 184 hp jump. Translated to a chassis dyno, and we're talking a cool 524 hp to the tires. That'll bump the excite-o-meter up a few ticks.
