FIS is a non-residential program that facilitates student/family friendships across culture, across generations, and across communities (on and off campus). We match international students with a local host family – to introduce our vibrant community to students from far away, and to introduce new people, places, and cultures to the people who live here. FIS offers an exciting opportunity for mutual friendship and cultural exchange.
- FAMILY Application FIS hosts come in all shapes and sizes - we encourage participation in FIS, regardless of life stage and family composition. There are nearly 150 local families involved!
- STUDENT Application Students whose home address is outside of the U.S. are invited to participate in FIS. International students make up 13% of our student body - we enroll about 200 students from 50+ countries.
How it Works:
- Families and students complete the application to indicate your interest in participating.
- The OISA assigns student/family 'matches' in early August. Families receive information about your host student by mail, and students receive information about your FIS host upon arrival in Grinnell. The OISA will arrange your initial opportunity to meet - over dessert, during the International Pre-Orientation Program (IPOP). Families will also receive a Hosting Handbook with tips and guidelines for participation.
- The next step is for YOU (students and hosts) to initiate contact and extend invitations to get together! Families invite students to visit their homes and to explore the local area. Students invite families to campus activities, and may consider their host family as a resource for their adjustment to life in the U.S.
We ask families and/or students to initiate at least three activities per semester (some do more, some do less). While in-person contact is preferred, phone and email are also great ways to stay connected. The OISA also organizes a reception during Family Weekend, an annual Pot-Luck dinner (February), and sends occasional emails/announcements and a copy of our magazine, MOSAIC.
It is our hope that your relationship will grow and last throughout the student's stay in Grinnell!
For more information, contact the OISA [641-269-3703] or one of the Host Family Volunteer Coordinators: Rachel Bly, JoAnn Britton, or Ashley Grundler.

Where do the bones go ... hmm Are they growing genetically modified boneless chickens ?!
Your late they been doing this for years now. The chickens they use have no beaks or feathers. The animal has been modified to the point where they can not call it chicken. Why do you think they dont spell out what KFC stands for anymore? ITs because they are not allowed to actually call it chicken.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 3, 3 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Romney Stadium (25,513) -- Logan, Utah. Television: Local. Home Record: Texas State 2-2, USU 4-0. Away Record: Texas State 1-2, USU 3-2. Neutral Record: Texas State 0-0, USU 0-0. Conference Record: Texas State 1-1, USU 3-0. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: The leader in the Western Athletic Conference takes to the field once again this weekend, as the Utah State Aggies entertain the Texas State Bobcats at Romney Stadium in Logan.
The Aggies are off to their best start after nine games since 1978, and their 3-0 opening to the WAC schedule is their best league start since 2000 when the team began with four consecutive triumphs in Big West Conference action. Last week, the team delivered a knockout blow to UT San Antonio on the road at the Alamodome, 48-17, their third straight outing with at least 40 points, the first time that's happened since 1990.
Clearly on a roll right now, Utah State has won eight consecutive WAC games dating back to last season and the team is receiving votes in the AP Poll for the second time this season.
As for the Bobcats, their transition to the WAC hasn't gone quite as smoothly, although they have split their first two league bouts thanks to a 38-7 romp over Idaho a few weeks back. More recently the team was sent packing by San Jose State in a 31-20 final in California over the weekend. The loss was the third in the last four games for a team that is still searching for consecutive wins on the season.
This is the first-ever meeting between these two schools on the football field.
Texas State held an early lead against the Spartans, even owned an edge at intermission, but the team failed to score a single point in the second half as they went down against SJSU on the road. Shaun Rutherford converted 14- of-26 passes for just 130 yards, was sacked two times and had two passes picked off. The signal-caller also ran for a team-best 70 yards and a score, but it made little difference in the end.
Defensively, the Bobcats allowed San Jose State to not only pass for 376 yards and two TDs but also run for another 195 yards and a pair of scores which means Texas State was getting attacked on all sides by the hosts. Jason McLean finished with a team-best 10 tackles, one behind the line of scrimmage, and forced a fumble in the setback.
McLean leads the team overall on the season with his 56 total stops. More impressive is the fact that he has 36 solo stops which by themselves would have him tied for the third-most overall tackles for the Bobcats. Also making an impact for the defense in 2012 are Darryl Morris and Craig Mager who each have three interceptions in an effort to slow down the opposition.
Rutherford has been trying to do it all for the Bobcats on offense, completing 67.6 percent of his passes for nine touchdowns and also placing second on the team with 288 yards and three TDs on the ground. Marcus Curry, who scored a touchdown last weekend against the Spartans, paces the running attack with 333 yards and six TDs.
Directing the offense for the Aggies is quarterback Chuckie Keeton who register a new career high with 27 completions on Saturday in the win over the Roadrunners. Keeton attempted 36 passes and finished with 340 yards and three touchdowns, against just one interception.
Still an offensive sparkplug for Utah State, Kerwynn Williams not only ran for 90 yards and two touchdowns versus UTSA, he also caught three passes for a team-best 68 yards as well which makes him tough to cover for most defenses. Emulating Williams was Joe Hill who scored one touchdown on the ground and another through the air.
After nine games the Aggies rank first in the conference and sixth in the nation in scoring defense, allowing only 14.2 ppg and yet very few people outside of Utah even know about them. The squad is also tops in the league and fifth in the nation in sacks with 3.56 per outing, although the squad had just two of them versus the Roadrunners, one each by Al Lapuaho and Connor Williams.
The good news for the USU defense is that there isn't one single player who is doing most of the damage himself, it is coming from a variety of guys which means opponents have to try and plan accordingly. Zach Vigil, second in total tackles (71) leads with 8.5 tackles for loss and is tied for the team high with five sacks at the moment.
With 19 passing scores and another three on the ground, Keeton is obviously an integral part of the offense for the Aggies, but few players in the WAC, or the rest of the FBS for that matter, can compare to Williams who has nine rushing TDs and three more through the air as he paces the team in yardage in both areas which means the Bobcats will have to pick their poison this weekend.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Utah State 49, Texas State 24

In the normal mode, the Start Menu will default at 4 or even 5 tiles high with the ability to adjust to go from one corner to the other. It will never get wider unless a search is done or you tap All Programs. Tapping "Apps" will take you to the Start Screen. Power and Settings buttons should be pretty obvious.
Any tile will have the ability to be "Pinned to Start Menu", as shown here with the weather, Maps and Skydrive Apps. Any tile shown that are not pinned will be based on what is open or has been open. Mouse wheeling or finger sliding/flicking will spin thru this list of tiles (in this example it shows Desktop and Calendar) of all your currently running tiles. The new tiles will slide up or down according to the scroll or flick direction. If no more than one App is currently launched whatever is shown will be based on frequency of use. This will eliminate the task switcher from the top left hot corner as well. This also gives you a quick view of live tile data (such as temperature) without compromising or covering your current work flow.
Also shown on this screenshot is Gadgets. They are not like Windows 7 and older gadgets. They are simply live tiles that can be pinned to your desktop screen and are covered up by any windows just as in prior versions of Windows with gadgets.

1: I think there's a highly liberal use of the word "hacking here"
2: They where tracking what kids where doing on these tablets... seems fishy and somewhat illegal, especially without consent. and if the consent was in english on first startup. I think it's rather invalid.
3: if they where tracking them there must have been some sort of internet on them, heck they're pretty useless without internet. so how do they know they didn't get any help ?
There's a lot missing from this story and a lot that seems fishy.
I took the bit about the SD card with tracking software to mean that the software stored information on the SD card about what they had been doing. Then all they needed to do was retrieve the SD card to work out what they had been up to
If they had figured out how to turn on the camera I would have though the kids had been smart enough to "Hack" the tablet and discover this data too
Personally I think we should build a call center in these villages, give the kids a PC and a phone each and let them do tech support. Think of the cost savings

You will also learn more about the formal alliance between the Medical Center and Desert Cardiology Center in this issue, a collaborative model for providing optimal patient care with innovative cardiac research and technology. Establishing Eisenhower Desert Cardiology Center is yet one more way Eisenhower is seeking to provide our patients with outstanding options for health. This alliance complements Eisenhower Smilow Heart Center which represents all of the cardiac specialists associated with Eisenhower.
This issue also features the latest news at Eisenhower, including the achievements of physicians, both personal and professional. The moving story of Betty Benner in the Program Spotlight on page 46 serves as a reminder of the very special trust in the relationship between patient and physician. Her condition and subsequent treatment were reliant on specialized medical expertise, and it was that expertise that returned her to an active life.
Heart health is vital to longevity and well-being. In this New Year and as we celebrate Heart Month in February, I hope you will take steps to protect and strengthen your heart.
In good health,

The Missouri women's basketball team has a player that certainly has an "Eye" for the basket.
Sophomore Morgan Eye leads the Tigers by scoring 13.9 points per game and is the best 3-point field goal shooter in the nation by hitting 3.9 per outing from long range.
Defending Eye is the next challenge for the Mississippi State Bulldogs today as they have made the trip to Columbia, Mo., for a game against one of the newcomers of the Southeastern Conference.
One week ago, Missouri made a statement of how tough it can be in the SEC, especially at home, by knocking off the Tennessee Lady Volunteers 80-63 at Mizzou Arena.
The Tigers have records of 15-8 overall and 4-5 in the league.
"They have a lot of confidence right now and also had a week off like us," MSU women's coach Vic Schaefer said. "(Missouri coach) Robin (Pingeton) has done a great job with that team, and it's a challenge we have to be ready for."
The Bulldogs look to continue the type of defense they showed in pulling off a 47-44 victory over Arkansas at home last Sunday.
MSU held the Razorbacks to 14 points on five field goals in the first half. Arkansas only shot 32.1 percent from the field for the game.
There have been times where the Bulldogs have given Schaefer the type of defensive effort he's been desiring, but he knows with a young team, there will continue to be bumps in the road as it learns and grows.
"It's like being a plumber," Schaefer said. "You get two or three of those leaks fixed and you have a fourth leak. It might be Martha (Alwal) standing behind in the post. It's a leak and I feel like a plumber on some days.
"(Against Arkansas) We got the ball pressure, got the wing denial back to the point, then we have a post player standing behind down there. It's a process.
"We agonized over every defensive possession because that's just the way we are. We might stub our toe, but that's who we are."
With the success against the Razorbacks, Schaefer now has the proof that what he and his staff are trying to instill at MSU can work.
"It gives you some credibility when you are out there trying to teach them to play that hard and they've never played that hard before," Schaefer said. "It's not what we do, but how we do it. That's what will separate us.
"(Last Sunday) they put it into action and they can see it. For a day, they've got to see it and know this is why my staff and I prepare 15-page scouting reports, talk and go through things for three days on how to guard and what (opponents) are going to do. This is why we do what we do."
It won't take Schaefer and his staff long to find our the strength of Missouri in the scouting report.
Not only does Eye shoot well, but the Tigers are fourth in the SEC at 34 percent from 3-point range and pace the conference by hitting 9.1 shots from long range per outing.
MSU will try to counter that with its inside-outside sophomore duo of Kendra Grant and Martha Alwal.
Grant scores 12.4 points per game to lead the Bulldogs, while Alwal achieved her league-leading 11th double-double of the season against Arkansas with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
After Schaefer gave his players a couple of days off during the midweek, they practiced Thursday, Friday and Saturday in getting ready for Missouri.
MSU, which stands at 10-12 overall and 2-7 in the SEC, was able to feed off the positive result of last weekend and Schaefer said it's much deserved.
"There's not anybody in the country that works harder than those kids," Schaefer said. "They work their tail off at practice every day. I'm proud to be their coach. I'm happy they are earning some credibility and some victories with their hard work."

Pick Up "George Washington's Rules of Civility," Other Great Holiday Gifts
On Saturday, November 19, author and historian John T. Phillips will be signing copies of his book George Washington's Rules of Civility from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Historic Alexandria History Center & Museum Store, 101 North Union Street.
As a teenager, George Washington studied the 110 "Rules of Civility," first drafted in the 16th century, and incorporated them into his relationships and practices throughout his life. In his book, Phillips explores the origins and development of the "Rules of Civility" and in particular, how they influenced Washington and colonial America.
Phillips' work combines scholarly research with guiding principles that remain relevant today. The book, illustrated with 18th-century prints and bound in leather, makes a great gift for the holidays, new graduate, or history buff.
The History Center & Museum Store, located at the Torpedo Factory arcade along the Alexandria Waterfront, is the perfect place to shop locally this holiday season and find gifts, books and decorative items that reflect Alexandria's heritage. A hands-on activity for children makes it fun to learn about Alexandria history, too.
The History Center & Museum Store is open Thursdays, 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Fridays, 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays, noon to 6 p.m.

AMSOIL presents Super Chevy 2011 Best of the Best National Champion
It's hard to imagine a car from the '50s being lightweight, but the 150 utility sedan was the featherweight of the lineup in its day. With a listed curb weight of 3,117 lbs, the front bench-seat-only model was only about 300 lbs heavier than its Corvette sibling. It was no wonder these models were ultra popular for racing. On the sales floor not so much though, as only 9,879 were built in '56, with only the Nomad seeing fewer units built among the '56 models.
Craig Smith had been a '56 nut ever since he got into the car hobby. Call it brotherly influence, since his two older siblings both had '56s they wrenched on with the help of their younger brother. But oddly enough, Craig never did own a '56, at least until he scored this one back in 2008.
To that point he had built a nice '62 Impala wagon, then a '71 Nova through Cassidy's Rod & Custom in New Caney, Texas. Father Mike Cassidy and his son Jeff crank out cool cars just outside Houston, and one day Mike treated Craig to a ride in a Tri-Five he had just finished with an Art Morrison chassis. Before the ride even ended Craig told Mike to start the order process for another Morrison chassis, he was putting the Nova up for sale and starting the hunt for a '56 to build.
The search took a little while, with Mike preaching patience to Craig that he would find the right car. At one point, Mike and Craig got a lead on a '56 that had been lurking around the Houston area for 25 years and had come to rest at a shop in south Houston. The then-owner, Joe Pigford, had plans to turn it into an old-school drag car. At first sight, Mike told Craig to buy the 150 however possible. After a week of negotiating, and telling Pigford what he planned to build, the deal was struck for Craig to take the '56 home—always a great feeling.
The super clean and unmolested classic was still running and driving, so getting it on the trailer was easy. While the new AME chassis was prepped along with motor and trans for installation, Craig enjoyed driving the 235/three-speed Tri-Five around to shows and cruises—that's how clean and solid it was. Finally the time came to park the car for the next stage of its life, and mating the body to the new chassis.
Here's where the story gets interesting. Originally the plan was to build a rat rod with faux patina, Mexican blanket seat covers, the whole grungy look in flat primer on top of the AME frame. The entire time leading up to the stripping of the car's body, Mike Cassidy had been working to convince Craig to go restomod instead since the '56 was in such beautiful shape. After seeing the body in bare steel and how great it really was, Craig was convinced, and Mike started the body prep for a full paintjob.
The color chosen was PPG Sun Burst metallic. Both of the '56s Craig's brothers (by this time deceased) had owned were Sierra Gold, so he wanted a color reminiscent of that. Once painted, all the original trim, now in pristine condition, was reinstalled and the body attached to its new skeleton.
Inside, the factory front bench was yanked and a pair of Pontiac Sunbird seats, re-covered in ultra leather, were bolted in place. Some had tried to convince Craig to install a rear seat, but knowing the car's rarity, he stood firm that his '56 would stay a two-seater. Duke's Upholstery in Porter, Texas, handled the interior installation down to the custom door panels and rear panels for the package area. Jeff Cassidy installed a Kenwood head unit pumping tunes through a Sony amplifier and Infinity speakers.

Double exposure portraits
by chicquero
Brazilian photographer Heitor Magno is a really cool visual artist who's behind some very eye-catching double exposures. He applies many of his double exposed imagery "like a tattoo artist on flesh; the effect is seamless and stunning at times". Reminiscent of Matt Wisniewski's work, Heitor often mixes the human body with various natural elements and he literally likes to "play with fire" in a darker conceptual way. Awesome portraits! Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But […]

Dupuytren's Contracture
What is Dupuytren's contracture?
Dupuytren's contracture, also called Dupuytren's disease, usually begins with a thickening of the skin in the palm of the hand, which may develop into a hard lump or thick band that eventually could cause the fingers to contract, or pull into the palm.
What causes Dupuytren's contracture?
Since the first recording of this disease in the 1600s, great advances have been made in understanding this disease, although, there are still some unanswered questions. It is thought to be a hereditary disease, which means it is inherited from the family, but the exact cause is unknown. Dupuytren's contracture may be associated with cigarette smoking, epilepsy, diabetes, and alcoholism, and usually presents in middle age.
Facts about Dupuytren's contracture:
Consider the following statistics related to Dupuytren's contracture:
- The ring finger is the most commonly affected finger.
- The little finger is the second most commonly affected finger.
- One, two, or more fingers may be affected.
- Men are affected more often than women.
What are the symptoms of Dupuytren's contracture?
The following are the most common symptoms of Dupuytren's contracture. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- development of thick tissue under the skin in the palm of the hand
- finger(s) are pulled forward
- decrease in hand function
The symptoms of Dupuytren's contracture may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Treatment for Dupuytren's contracture:
Specific treatment for Dupuytren's contracture will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
At the present time, surgery is the only treatment available to help correct advanced Dupuytren's contracture. While surgery may increase the mobility of the finger(s), it does not correct the underlying disease process.
During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the hand and cuts the area of thickened tissue. This allows for improved movement of the tendons and increases finger mobility. It is a very precise surgery because the nerves in the hand are often in this area of thickened tissue. Sometimes, skin grafts are needed to correct the overlying skin. This involves replacing or attaching skin to a part of the hand that is missing skin. Skin grafts are performed by taking a piece of healthy skin from another area of the body (called the donor site) and attaching it to the needed area.
After surgery, physical therapy for the affected hand will be implemented to help increase strength and function.

Friday Five: "Science Fiction" Films
So after that wizarding craziness from July, I figure we take a look at Fantasy's cousin: Science Fiction. Now, for all my general geekery, Sci-Fi has never been my particularly favorite genre. That's not to say I don't enjoy it, but I never really go out of my way to embrace it either. Or at least not the "space opera" style of Sci-Fi. Star Trek has never been my thing at all. Sometimes however, I find the gems that I do like. So what Sci-Fi does murf enjoy? Only time and space can tell. Or at least this list. (more…)

SLU Professors Awarded $150,000 Grant from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Grant Will Examine Public Health Implications of IRS Regulations
ST. LOUIS - Saint Louis University School of Public Health Professor Jason Turner, Ph.D., and School of Law Professor Jesse Goldner, J.D. have received a $150,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Public Health Law Research Program (PHLR) to study community benefit activities conducted by non-profit hospitals. Such activities are required to maintain their tax-exempt status. The study will focus on how these resources can best be used to improve the health of the public.
|Jason Turner, Ph.D., and Jesse Goldner, J.D.
"The goal of this research is to clarify both for non-profit hospitals and the federal government, the evolving nature of community benefit - what things hospitals are currently doing and what they should be doing to maintain tax-exempt status and improve public health," Goldner said.
For years, federal and state governments have granted tax-exempt status to hospitals in exchange for services or "community benefits" aimed at improving the health of the communities in which they reside.
According to Goldner, new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations will require that hospitals provide more extensive information than previously required about the benefits they are providing to the community. Using data from hospital responses to new, but preliminary, IRS reporting requirements, Goldner and Turner will document which community benefit activities are currently undertaken and which of these are considered public health activities.
Most community service provided by non-profit hospitals, according to Turner, comes in the form of charity care or medical care provided for free or well below cost. However, changes brought on by health care reform will likely impact the amount of charity care hospitals provide.
"As health care reform reduces the number of individuals without insurance, non-profit hospitals will need to shift to alternative avenues to provide community benefit to justify continued tax exemption," Turner said. "More resources will be devoted to in-kind contributions, and providing other resources to community groups and governmental agencies like local asthma consortia or local financially stressed health departments, community improvement initiatives, education of health professionals and medical research. We hope this will result in more money for lead abatement, wellness programs, or other public health priorities."
Another aim of this research is to identify where partnerships between public health providers and hospitals are beneficial, which may help reduce redundancies and waste, Turner says.
The findings of this study, which may be available as soon as May 2012, may ultimately help shape IRS policy, Goldner says.
About RWJF's Public Health Law Research Program
The venture is one of 13 new funded research projects that address the public health impacts of laws and regulations on issues such as lead exposure, vaccinations, emergency preparedness and the structure of state health agencies. The grants total $3,409,985 and include short-term studies of specific laws or regulations and long-term evaluations.
PHLR's aim is to promote effective regulatory, legal and policy solutions to improve public health. Since its inception, the program has funded fourteen studies and several reviews of existing scientific evidence and legal structures that impact several major public health challenges.
"We now have a significant number of studies that will help policy-makers make informed decisions in dealing with major public health challenges, such as HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, obesity, immunization, drug overdoses and flu epidemics," said Scott Burris, J.D., director of PHLR and a professor of law at Temple University in Philadelphia. "At the same time, we are also providing researchers with tools to improve research methods, such as data collection and analysis."
"The results of these studies are helping us build the evidence that policy-makers can use to understand how laws and regulations affect public health-not just laws aimed at specific public health issues," said Michelle Larkin, J.D., M.S., R.N., director of the public health team at RWJF.

Immigrants accounted for 16 percent of the 58.8 million college-educated persons in the United States in 2011, with one in three immigrants holding a college degree. In this spotlight, MPI's Qingqing Ji and Jeanne Batalova provide a demographic and socioeconomic profile of college-educated natives and immigrants in the country.
There were more than 53 million nonimmigrant (temporary) admissions to the United States in 2011. MPI's Qingqing Ji and Jeanne Batalova outline the definition of nonimmigrants and take a detailed look at admissions data and data limitations in this spotlight.
In 2011, more than 1 million people were granted lawful permanent resident status in the United States. Nearly two-thirds of new LPRs were immigrants with family ties in the United States, report MPI's Joseph Russell and Jeanne Batalova in this updated look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
In 2011, the United States granted humanitarian protection to nearly 81,000 immigrants, including some 56,000 refugees and 25,000 asylum seekers. This article takes a detailed look at the most recent refugee and asylum data in the United States – finding that asylum grants in 2011 reversed a downward trend observed since 2007.
In the past 50 years, the number and share of European immigrants in the United States have declined significantly. A look at the population's size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
European dominance in U.S. immigration flows has decreased significantly since World War II, a result of economic, demographic, and policy trends on both sides of the Atlantic. Today, migration from European Union Member States to the United States, while small, is characterized by a substantial numbers of European scientists, professionals, and businesspeople.
This edited volume addresses the impact of the economic crisis in seven major immigrant-receiving countries: the United States, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
This report explores the migration patterns and demographics of Black African immigrants in the United States, examining their admission channels, human-capital characteristics, and labor market performance. The authors also provide an analysis of these immigrants' integration prospects.
Over the past half century, migration from Mexico and Central America to the United States has been driven in part by regional demographic and human-capital trends. As the U.S. labor force became better educated, fewer native workers accepted certain low-skilled jobs. This report offers a look at the economic changes that have coincided with a Mexican and Central American population boom.
In 2010, based on changes to the DREAM Act legislation pending in Congress, MPI issued revised total and state-level estimates of the unauthorized youth and young adults who might be eligible for conditional legal status, updating its DREAM vs. Reality fact sheet.
This fact sheet, based on analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, documents the top languages spoken by English Language Learners (ELLs) nationwide and on a state level.
Repealing birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of unauthorized immigrants, a step discussed in some circles as a means to reduce illegal immigration, would significantly increase the size of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States, from 11 million today to 16 million by 2050, this brief reveals.

Our new "target" - picture quality improvements
Date: April 13, 2010 12:06PM
I think now, in the last period of time, when Henrik gave us many new technical possibilities on the CDB website, is the moment to have a little talk about picture we upload and establish some rules. The discussion goes in two direction as I see.
One is, be aware of the possibilities of your cameras - how to take pics without unnecessary faults, as bad angle, without objects between the camera and the car, not shooting pics against the sun, be adapted to all types of light (natural,artificial, neon etc), loosing details with too low or too high lights, shooting moving objects etc.
The other is that we all share some little tricks of picture improvements on PC editing before upload to CDB.
Most of photographers are amateurs or let`s say advanced amateurs and if we give a few steps of improvements to our pics CDB will look much better and ranking of the site will grow up.
Our uploaders, fellow photographers, cover all continents on the Earth and we receive very interesting pictures, and with an effort, everything will look much better on CDB.
In some of my future posts I`try to present some easy steps, with free or cheap software we can find and use and show how the quality goes up after couple minutes of work. Using PC editing we learn new things every day and I also had a lot of help from my friends - and I still have.
Also, I expect the other photographers to join this topic with their knowledge about this, because I never think about myself as the smartest here maybe the oldest my only motive is to find, with all of us, the best for our CDB to be the leader in automotive sites on the web.
Best regards to all
Re: Our new "target" - picture quality improvements

This is a result of couple minutes work. First example is how to "kill" grain-with Noise Ninja aplication. The second picture can be treated by photographer in the moment of taking it, simply by changing the light type setup on your camera. Natural-artificial-neon-etc.
As you can see two tricks and the picture is as new. And without a dollar for new editing program as Photoshop or Corel.

Misko, do you know something similar tool for "Kill grain" in photoshop? My new camrea is not so great in those light conditions as seen with the Rolls there.
Re: Our new "target" - picture quality improvements
Date: April 15, 2010 08:19PM
When you instal NoiseNinja goes between the Photoshop existing filters on the end of the list. You activate it through option picture code.
But this is not the only option for us uploaders, it cost some $. One simple way to do picture better is to open your ACDSee, mark one picture and then by clicking Ctrl+E the "mini photoshop" is available in a second. This option is available on any ACDSee edition from the oldiest to ACDSee Pro. There you have everything, maybe not so powerfull, but everything you need, in picture improvement process. The options are
Exposure corrections
Color setup
Red eye reduction
Noise reduction(we need often because of different conditions of shooting pics)
Add text ....
When the task is finished you have only to save the improved picture with the posibilities of file compression. By that you control the picture quality for our CDB visitors wishes to have your car pictures, nice and large file, for their Desktop Wallpaper.

Shooting moving objects with an average camera shows problem in fast autofocus and some other parameters. In that case my advice is to predict a point where the car will go through. Like this highway and police car coming. And to use sharpness filter to get letters on the car side sharp. The result can be surprising.

The problem with those ones is that it was early in the morning, shooting from a hotel room (yeah, no time to run and find a spot), and I was shooting a convoy of like 25 police vehicles

A little trick to improve this very atractive picture of car in action. The stick in front of the car ruins the possitive effect of this active picture. If we all can to avoid the objects in front of the cars we take pic, we have to do it. Or before upload remove it.
Not so difficult, just use the rubber stamp tool, after a few times practice you can call youself a wizard!

I`am sad when I see there is no any reactions or questions about the most important thing on CDB - quality improvement. The same errors are present in upload materials. Blurness or unsharpness, objects in deep shadows without details, grain, cell-phones pics, picture horizon like "drunk sailor view" without artistic reasons... etc. The most iritating is that between low and much better quality is one little step. Let`s do something like improvement before we reach 150.000 pics.
Re: Our new "target" - picture quality improvements
Date: June 6, 2010 09:17PM
Dear friends, I am surprised again that topic I started with open heart about quality and improvements of our CDB was visited by about 250 and with no results or reactions. To be a screener means to know something about photography, how to find a camera limits in photographic process, angle of shooting, improvements with some tools available on the net (free to upload) .etc. But this doesn`t mean to receive mails everytime when somebody find his pic better that screener decided. We have many examples on CDB of materials prepared for upload by photographers without one single look before by author. Only use HQPhoto Resizer for automatic resize and jump to upload queue. The grain, contra light sun, burned or dark areas on pics, objects between camera and the car, ugly garbage(beds,chairs, tool cants) around the objects, cars in motion from 200 mtrs unsharp as hell, not to write about cell phone masterpieces, are contents which this site must reject if the target is to be better and once in future the best motorization site on the web after more that 7 years. On the aviation sites, where I upload my own airplane photos, reject rate is about 50% and this is normal for those sites uploaders. The democracy here starts to be like anarchy. Some of uploaders received my emails with friendly advices how to do things better and for some others I did it myself with photoshop (when I found the picture too interesting to be rejected because of one or two easy steps to make those better-which I did to help). Look down my friends, and say, are those pics burned and unsharp or it seems I started to be blind. I must say, my still valid medical licence for parashutist says different.
Look what one little step can do to one interesting car photo

Well, the reality is that some of us, at least, I, have a pretty large backlog of photos (some dating back to 06), and editing those again might be harder (I have no idea where some of my originals are, like somewhere in Mexico), at least I'm paying more attention for the new photos.

Yes!Yes! This is a kind of pictures I wish to see every morning in upload queue. Absolutely perfect. Balance of contrast, no deep shadows without details, no photographer`s head and camera as shadow all over the car, no branches and shadows dominating the picture, no garbage all over, composition of picture fantastic. You can use it as cover picture of any car magazine. A+, what else to say.

The most annoying thing for me is not the bad quality of pics, it is the lack of info. For example, the same photos of these Smart cars, no info whatsoever! Just "Smart City Car". Anyone knows this is a Smart ForTwo, specially someone from UK. I can even say that the yellow one is a Passion and the brown one is a Pulse. I always want all the info possible: brand, model, trim level, year.
And i also guess that is very easy taking pics with a Nikon D40.
Re: Our new "target" - picture quality improvements

You are absolutely right that picture data section should be with more details.
But we are not all Marten who is walking encyclopedia of car types. I personally wish that for myself.
But about Nikon D40 I can say that this is good but no spectacular Nikon quality 6,1 megapixel camera and cost $330 which is not a big money even in my country (not well known as golden Eldorado) . The quality of pics we talk here is in perfect color balans, composition of all picture, car posed 45 degrees to the camera, nothing arround the cars which doesn`t belong there...etc. So. as I see, the pictures we are talking about, are very good because of photographers well used camera capacities and also - limitations.

My idea about this topic was to be a friendly advised site section to help felow photographers about little tricks to improve our photos. But almost nothing as a result. Please, look just once to your pics before upload. It is not difficult to see your own figure with the camera in hands as a shadow all over the vehicle and low sun from behind - we have that often in upload queue. Whole figure! Hands,arms and camera!
Another thing. The pictures with the same motive with camera just a few feet left or right or the vehicle very far from camera are good for top photographers names on the front page and for number of pics on the board. But this way of upload is the method to drive away our visitors and downloaders. Of course this is a criticism generally speaking because sometime the car look very very beautiful and just needs to be photographed. But this example is not about that. I received some emails from some of our site visitors about artificial raising of upload picture number on the front page list... 150 pics or more of the same car and same reg.plates is too much for them. I have 300 pics of my beautiful wife for 28 years of marriage......
We can use Marten`s way of uploading. What a treasure of various classics in front of our eyes! And no more that 2-3 pics of some fantastic classics. In the other way of upload he will have 50.000 pictures on CDB....

It's hard to tell when a pic is interesting or good, for example this one
Photographer © Anik Adamali
You cant even tell what car model is but it has 4 views in 12 hours, and this Cadillac one has 3 views
Photographer © Mårten Carlsson
I dont understand.
And please try to find out what model is before uploading, if you cant you can ask but dont upload pics with no info. (Mitsubishi Space Star)

Re: Our new "target" - picture quality improvements

We rejected some pics of because of unsharpness or blurness and conttralight to camera, but this one looks better and interesting.
We allow to the beginers on CDB some things which are not a criteria for other "veterans". This is the site policy told by Henrik.
About missing data I have the same opinion as you but I didn`t find the type for half an hour on the net. But I was sure somebody knows that. And this is good obout the web, always there is somebody with correct data. So, when I`ll have clearance to this part of the admin page I`ll fill it. I`ve uploaded another MPV Hyundai(looks H1 but not sure) without the type few days ago, I hope somebody will see that and help. Also the problem may be with the different names and some exterior car details for Europe, Asia and America for the same car.
Also, I think that most important thing about upload, even a picture without some technical deta or type/model, is the quality. When the low quality picture(unsharp,dark,burned, to small cars etc) is granted by screener on the net, this is the end with negative result. Any kind of text, type,model etc can be always added or changed.Picture have ID and, even looks bad, is on the net forever...
PS. I have one of my pics double uploaded, but I don`t know why, because I did the upload once, and there are two same pics side by side.

Even when he was little petey pump, he was pretty funny. Now he's back, i may watch it again.

I wanted a pair of quality winter gloves that aren't too bulky for me to feel my controls, that didn't break the bank, and wouldn't fall apart after the first couple rides like my last ones did. I got these last fall, it's now late spring and they've done what I expected. They look nice, material and stitching are quite good, and they're even armored. Use of the controls was not as perfect as with my summer gloves, but I could still easily feel the tiny controls on my old '87 XL600 dual-sport, which is far better than most winter gloves. I have short fat fingers and though tight, generally wear a size med because I hate bunching at the tip of my fingers. They are true to size. I ordered both sizes L and M just in case, and ended up keeping the medium. While trying the size L, an old lady was coming at me in my lane and I couldn't even find the horn in time because the bunching in the finger tips. That day they were packed and shipped back. Please note that these gloves are a trade-off. Below about 45F can get uncomfortable for anything but short local rides. I added silk liners but all they did was make the gloves much easier to take on/off, which was worth it on it's own, but didn't really help with the cold. I pleasure ride in the pacific northwest (Portland, OR). Gloves do not leak. Rain showers are a part of life here, but I avoid heavy rain. I made several 4-6 hour rides while the roads were still iced over. Don't do this in these gloves unless you can take the pain. Many stops to warm hands over warm motor. For me tactile feedback wins over comfort at temps below 45F. If you are a daily commuter, you might want a different glove. Overall very satisfied with quality, features and price.Read All Reviews

I got these as an all around glove that could also be used for track days. I'm very pleased with the quality of the glove for this price range. I've only had them a week so I can't comment on how robust they are, but they appear to be constructed well. They're also pretty sweet looking (better than the photos online). Fit was pretty normal. I usually wear a large and ordered these in a large which seems slightly snug right now, but they'll break in. They are very well vented so I wouldn't hesitate to wear them on a hot day but they're not much good for the 40 degree mornings that we have in upstate NY.Read All Reviews

Cassandra Blackwell, Topeka, and her family, have been named the 2012 Washburn University Family of the Year. The family will be honored during the halftime Family Day celebration at the Washburn University football game on Saturday, Sept. 29.
Cassandra Blackwell, a Washburn senior, nominated her family for this award. Cassandra's parents are Jacqueline and Chris Routh, Topeka, Kan. Jacqueline, attended Washburn, and encouraged Cassandra to pursue higher education since she was four years old. Cassandra recollects roaming the Washburn campus with her family even before starting kindergarten and knowing she wanted to be an Ichabod, because her mommy was one. When it came time to pick a college, Cassandra even turned down a full-ride scholarship to Kansas State University to attend Washburn, because it felt like home.
"I learned how much the Washburn professors really cared about what they do and I wanted to be Cassandra Blackwell and not just number 150 in a class of 200 people," said Cassandra.
Cassandra nominated her family for the 2012 Family of the Year because they have instilled in her a drive for success and a deep sense of commitment to her goals. She will graduate in May with a bachelor of arts and sciences in history, and without any student loans. She says her parents instilled in her financial responsibility and the spirit to fight for what she wants. As Jacqueline always told her daughter, "where there is a will, there is a way."
Cassandra's college journey has not always been an easy one. During her sophomore year, she was in a car accident three weeks before finals, which she sustained injuries to her face and head, and suffered a grade two concussion. Many times that semester she was advised to withdraw from classes due to her injury, but with the support of her mother, she set her mind to completing the semester and was on the dean's honor roll.
"I feel so fortunate to have parents that recognize the importance of my studies and support me in all that I do," said Cassandra. "I have a deep love for history and higher education that comes from the countless family intellectual conversations that we have had over the years ranging from religion and history to science and economics."
Cassandra is involved in the Washburn Alumni Association, Alpha Lambda Delta honor society and she is as vice president of Phi Alpha Theta history honorary society. Cassandra and her family can often be seen at Washburn sporting events cheering their Ichabods to victory.
The family received tickets to the Family Day picnic and football game. They also received a $200 gift certificate for the Washburn Bookstore, a plaque and a framed picture from the Family Day festivities.

PANAMA CITY — A little walking never killed anyone, but since cancer has, people will take to the track Friday to raise awareness about fighting the disease.
The American Cancer Society Panama City Relay for Life will be held at Tommy Oliver Stadium from 6 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday. Money raised at the annual event combined with funds raised by teams since October will go toward ACS cancer research.
The goal is to raise $100,000.
"We are so close, it's between 75 percent and 80 percent there," said Joby Smith, Relay For Life of Panama City event chairman.
Last year, the goal was not met. This lap around team members will focus on the morning runs in hope for a better outcome.
"Typically, there's not many people that come in on Saturday morning, so we decided that all of the teams will bring goods for a yard sale inside the stadium and get one last push in for fundraising as well," Smith said.
Morning laps will be taken as several other events — like the team member yard sale at 6 a.m. and the memorial motorcycle run at 9 a.m. — are happening.
As of now, over 40 teams have participated in the event. And though about 35 teams will be at the relay, the event could always use more support, ACS community representative Carie Wailgum said.
"There is still a great opportunity for people to come and participate whether they volunteer for setup or walk a survivor lap. … We think it's a great way to find fellowship," Wailgum said. "We're really excited to have thousands of our closest friends come and celebrate all of our birthdays together."
Mayor of Panama City Greg Brudnicki will open the ceremony Friday, followed at about 6:30 p.m. by the Survivor Lap, when cancer survivors walk the track in unity. The Luminaria Ceremony, when candles lining the track are lit, will be held at 9 p.m.
"Every one of us has a family member, a friend, or a colleague who has fought cancer and this event is one of the many ways we can recognize their struggles while working to find a cure," Smith said in a news release.
Closing ceremonies begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. The relay will be held rain or shine.
Wailgum said the organization hopes that this is the last century before cancer is cured, "… and the best way to do that is by raising funds for research to find a cure."
ACS, a nationwide voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancers, began Relay for Life in 1985.
-What: Relay for Life
-When: Friday 6 p.m. to noon Saturday
-Where: Tommy Oliver Stadium
-Why: Raise money and awareness for cancer research

Starkville Academy's good start wasn't enough to defeat Jackson Prep.
For the first 20 minutes, the Volunteers battled mainly at mid-field with the Patriots, but it only took the Patriots a few minutes to jump out to a 3-0 lead on their way to a 6-1 win.
"There were good moments and there were bad moments," said SA head coach Robert Gardner. "The first 20 minutes we were extremely good. We were organized, disciplined and we worked hard."
When Jackson Prep (4-1 overall, 2-0 Class AAA-District 2, Division II) started scoring, it seemed as if they were scoring them at will as Robert Tramel, Westin Graves and Nico Juncos scored the first three goals over a 6-minute time frame.
Once the first half came to a close, the Patriots held a 5-0 lead after Watson Lewis and Graves added goals.
Despite Jackson Prep's big lead, the Volunteers (1-3) still had fight in them and they struck first in the second half with a Michael Temple goal.
Not long after Temple put the Vols on the board, Graves picked up his third goal for the hat trick and leading his team to the win.
"I thought we played pretty solid," said Jackson Prep head coach Jon Marcus Duncan. "The goals kind of came in bunches in the first half, which is always good."
The Patriots remain undefeated in the division with the win, but Duncan isn't too comfortable with his team as they are still trying to figure out the right combination of players.
Duncan was happy to see the big lead at halftime so he could see more personnel.
"It's good to get a lot of guys in the game, because we're still trying to find our starting 11," said Duncan. "This was our fifth game and it's been different starters every game so we haven't really settled on a certain 11."
The Patriots win handed the Vols their third division loss this season, but they played hard on Thursday night despite being down by five at the break.
"Our work rate was good," Gardner said. "I thought we pressured their back line when we did get the ball into their defensive third. I thought we pressured the ball well from Jamison McKee and Temple. Our midfield worked hard and had good moments of good passing."
Gardner feels his team could have been more prepared for the game, but they were unable to practice on Wednesday due to the fields at the Sportsplex being closed.
Even without practice Gardner said, "I'm happy with our effort, but we were disorganized at times and stretched a little bit."
Those two key things are what Gardner had planned to work on during practice on Wednesday. Not being able to practice before hosting the Patriots seemed to have an effect on the match, but Jackson Prep worked for the goals they got.
"They are a top team with a very good coach," said Gardner. "I'm not going to say they weren't worth their six goals, but we certainly wanted more out of the match."
The Vols won't have another match until the new year when they travel to Copiah on January 5, 2012.

Budget & Finance
The City Council is required to adopt an annual budget by June 30, prior to the beginning of the biennial budget cycle. The budgets are adopted on a basis that does not differ materially from Generally Accepted Accounting Priniciples (GAAP). An appropriated annual budget is legally adopted for the General and Special Revenue Governmental Funds. Annual appropriated budgets are not adopted for Debt Service Funds because bond indentures are used as the method for dequate budgetary control.
Capital Projects Funds do not have annual appropriated budgets. Instead, control over projects is maintained by means of a project-length capital improvement budget. This project-length budget authorizes total expenditures over the uration of a construction project, rather than year by year. Additionally, planned expenditures for the capital projects and purchases for the current budget cycle are reflected within the operating budgets of the appropriate fund whose resources are used to fund the project.

Carl Jung: Darwin of the Mind, by Thomas T. Lawson
Karnac Books, 9781855754683, 226 pp., 2008
Jung is often considered what of the greatest minds of the age, one of the founding fathers of psychology. Lawson seeks "to pull together the thought of Carl Jung and place it in a non-technical way within a contemporary context, so as to make it accessible to the general reader" as Jung never wrote much for the public. Rather than being a "Jung 101″ book, or a dumbed down version of his writings, this book is an intelligent exploration of Jung's ideas relying less on the professional language of psychology, focusing on the consciousness and unconsciousness as a direct product of evolution.
"we have a mechanism whereby conscious might evolve. The mechanism is directly analogous to genetic evolution and operates according to the basic formula of natural selection"
Lawson compares Darwin's model of evolution to Continue reading
