How to reduce oiliness of your face
In some people their faces can be very oily. In teenagers this can be quite troublesome to them psychologically. So they keep on washing their faces and applying lotion. But this doesn't help. Skin is different from one person to another and skin reacts in various ways to different chemicals. Coming back to our previous question "How to reduce oiliness of your face?" washing your face can temporarily reduce oiliness. But in long-term drying the skin in that way stimulates you sebaceous glands and produce more and more sebum which makes your skin oily. There is one solution for this. Wash you face and then apply oil free water based moisturizer. This will retain moisture helps to reduce oiliness. Make sure not to scrub your face too hard. If none of this helps you can meet a qualified dermatologist take advice. I think this is the best option rather than using over the counter prescriptions?

Links deleted on reboot Several multimedia programs I use rely on the existence of "devices" such as /dev/dvd or /dev/ cdrom. In the past, I have created a soft link as root [user # ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/ hdd; ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom] and that was that. Now each time I reboot, my Suse 10.1 system deletes my links, and I have to remember to set them up again (or otherwise the software "reminds me" by failing to perform). As a workaround, I have simply written a tiny script that is automagically run on reboot, but I doubt that's the best solution. So my questions for you are:

I hate Baby BoomersThis is gonna come across as whiny, but fuck you, I'm tired of this shit and need to vent.
My mom won't stop posting on my facebook page every time I post anything that could be misconstrued by the most oversensitive retard as even mildly offensive or "weird." Apparently to get a job in this sick world you need to be the most bland boring emotionless fuck you can be; to that I say, "Ok, no one over the age of 40 or directly related to me gets to see any of my posts ever again."
So fuck you family, if you're so PC that there is literally nothing interesting I can post anymore, then so be it; you don't want to hear what I have to say anyway, so why not just make it permanent and get it over with.

Multipling entities beyond necessity???????
I went to take QHFAN2 to the airport and the GS wouldn't start
It wouldn't jump start or bump start
After wasting time with that BS, we hitched a ride and she made it with just minutes to spare. But our driver scared the bejesus out of us making some crazy passes on the curvy road to get us there in time. I think he shortened my life by a good 3 years (but it is the last 3 years so no real big loss)
Now I am stuck here in paradise until can figure out what the problem is. I am hoping it is just a dead battery.
But it got me thinking..................what if this happened in one of the remote places I like to camp and spend the night? I would probably still be there.
And what's up with the GS not wanting to fire with a dead battery. There must be a way to get the bike going by push starting it. I think if the voltage is too low, the electronics don't do their thing to get the sparkplug to spark. I need to have some sort of back up for this to get my bike going so I am not stranded in some remote location (without cold beer)
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated here!!!!
When I got back to the place here, I rode the crappy little Italika Mexican scooter down in to town for some street tacos and a beer. And I was bouncing down the dirt roads for my tasty tacos, I thought................this crappy little scooter is not so bad after all. It rides like shit but it starts, goes and does all the things that it needs to do. Unlike my BMW !!!!!! My GS manual says it has 110 horsepower. But right now it has zero - nada - zilch. That scooter has maybe 8 or 9 but it is simple and it goes.
It got me thinking if my BMW is too much. It maybe too complicated for a trip like this by myself. Maybe I should be on a bike with carbs and points and a distributer cap. Have things gotten overly complex in this world? Am I multiplying entities beyond necessity? Interesting arguement.................YOUR THOUGHTS???????

galaxies suggest that a black hole is present before the formation of a massive galactic halo. ALMA and the EVLA may provide more such examples.
But we cannot answer these questions definitively yet, because we do not have a robust theory for how supermassive black holes form. In the coming decade we expect a major breakthrough in our understanding. A space-based observatory to detect gravitational radiation will allow us to measure the rate at which mergers between less-massive black holes contributed to the formation process. Are the supermassive black holes we can now detect only the tip of the iceberg (the biggest members of a vast unseen population)? Deep imaging surveys in the near-infrared and X-ray, with follow-up spectroscopy with JWST and ground-based extremely large telescopes, will detect and study the growth of the less massive objects through the capture of gas and accompanying emission of electromagnetic radiation. These surveys will also allow us to search for such black holes at even earlier eras: back to the end of the dark ages.
Looking up on a clear night from a dark location, we see that the sky is full of stars. Telescopic observations by Galileo revealed that the Milky Way's white band traversing high across the summer and fall sky can be resolved into countless stars. Gazing upon the winter constellation of Orion, the sharp eye will note the fuzzy Orion Nebula (see in Box 2.4 Figure 2.4.3) with its nursery of stars born "yesterday" in cosmic time—not long after the first humans walked. Nearby is the famed Pleiades star cluster—formed when dinosaurs still roamed Earth. In contrast, some stars of our galaxy are nearly as old as the universe itself. The story of how successive generations of stars form out of the gas and dust in the interstellar medium in both benign and exotic environments is fundamental to our understanding of, on the larger scale, the galaxies in which stars reside and, on the smaller scale, the planetary systems they might host.
What was it about the Sun's birth environment or its star formation process that determined the final properties of our solar system versus that of other planetary systems? (See Box 2.2.) How and on what timescale did the solar mass build up, and how much gas and dust were left over for planet formation? How rapidly did the high-energy radiation of young stars disperse their gas disks, ending the phase of major planet formation? Do all environments yield the same mass distribution of stars, and what determines the lower and upper mass limits in the distribution (Figure 2.8)? What is the star formation history of our galaxy in particular, and of galaxies in general? Does star formation regulate itself, or are there external factors at work?
A key aim of studies in the next decade is to understand, through both observations and theory, the process of star formation over cosmic time. Beginning near

URI's Harrington School of Communications invited all students to create a 30- or 60-second PSA that provides advice about the H1N1 flu virus. Students were encouraged to use information from health providers and health agencies regarding the virus. URI Film Media students Ethan Gallo and Kevin Krasko received the first place prize in the contest for their PSA-"If Only We Could See...". Entries were judged by a panel of health and film experts, and three cash prizes were awarded.
To register online, visit http://thewellcomp.com."Despite all the media attention that H1N1 flu received last year, the unfortunate truth is that complications from seasonal flu viruses hospitalize and kill college students across the country every year, said David R. Gifford, director of the state Department of Health, in a letter to the university. Because of close living quarters, communal bathrooms and high levels of social activity among your students, the flu will be circulating on your campus again in the coming academic year. Vaccination is the most effective way to limit the spread of the flu and to keep your students in classrooms, on athletic fields, and out of student health centers."
Click "Register Now", then "Flu-Worksite Events", then enter one of the following "company login" codes listed above for the location you'll attend: (Providence: uriprov; Alton Jones: uriwg; Narragansett Bay: urinar; Kingston Campus: urifac)
Based on the success of the school-based H1N1 flu vaccination clinics during the 2009-2010 flu season, URI and many schools will host seasonal flu clinics in the fall of 2010. Unlike last flu season when H1N1 flu and seasonal flu vaccines were administered separately, a single shot will protect against both viruses this flu season.
Last year the University was well prepared for a potential H1N1 flu outbreak. We thank the students, faculty, and staff for their thoughtful attention and actions in dealing with this serious matter.
The Rhode Island Department of Health has released some good information (pdf) regarding the flu.
For details, information sheets and more go to http://health.uri.edu/showarticle.php?id=173
Students needing medical advice or assistance can call Health Services at 874-2675. The community may check the University's website established specifically for H1N1 updates: http://www.uri.edu/news/h1n1.html
The majority of individuals who contract this virus will not need to seek a doctor's treatment. Faculty, staff, and students who are ill with flu should remain at home (or in their room) for 24 hours after they are fever-free (and without medication that would lower temperature). A mild, lingering cough may occur. Barring any other flu symptoms, this cough should not prevent students from returning to class.
If you have been in contact with someone who has the flu, onset of the virus can take up to three days. If you experience any flu symptoms within this time period, please stay home to limit the spread of the virus. If you are pregnant or if you have a chronic medical condition such as diabetes, cancer, asthma, heart or lung problems, or a weakened immune system, you should consult with your physician or campus health services.
Members of the university community are advised to visit the following websites for information on prevention, self care, treatment and the status of local and national efforts to address the disease:
Students on and off-campus should have these supplies:
These items are important to your wellbeing and will be especially useful if the flu starts circulating on campus.
It is important for all faculty, staff, and students to take the following flu/respiratory disease precautions:
As this is not a gastrointestinal viral infection similar to the norovirus, intensive cleaning for food facilities (beyond normal cleaning) is not needed.

But now he'd left Chicago and come east in a fashion that rather took your breath away
from F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Great Gatsby (Chapter I) on Genius
Tom had to establish his authority when he found out he was moving to a new neighborhood. So to make it clear to the surrounding houses that he was from old money, he pulled a stunt like this to silence any doubts. Actually pretty similar to what Gatsby is doing with his extravagant house.

The Texas Tech University Matador Singers (formerly the Men's Chorus) was originally established in 2000 as a musical outlet for all male students who enjoy the camaraderie of choral singing, performing a wide variety of musical styles, including classical works, spirituals, folksongs, barbershop, jazz standards, opera choruses, and spirit songs.
From the founding efforts of graduate students Jesse Tennyson and Robert Wray, and through the fine leadership of former directors Dr. Michael Marcades and Dr. John Hollins, the men developed into a respected School of Music ensemble. In recent years the ensemble served as the opera chorus in the TTU Music Theatre's production of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, performed at various community and campus events, and was featured at the TTU College of Visual and Performing Arts Gala presentation "A Night on Broadway," at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas.
Now under the direction of Professor Karl Dent, the Matador Singers has expanded its membership to 50 singers, and has renewed its vision to support the University as a fine choral ensemble singing artistically performed arrangements of artistic, accessible and entertaining music. This mission as "singing ambassadors" for the University is gaining success and recognition for this fine organization. Chancellor Kent Hance has recently stated "I am proud of these men" and has acclaimed their contribution as "outstanding."
The Matador Singers has gained substantial recognition at the University and community levels performing in numerous events. In addition to regular appearances on the School of Music choral concert schedule, this ensemble has opened the arts season for the College of Visual & Performing Arts; has sung at numerous Techsan Memorial Services and Alumni Association Dinners; has done outreach of singing for middle school male singers and local retirement communities; and, for the past four years, has performed The National Anthem at the TTU Homecoming football game, earning the distinctive honor as the first TTU choral organization to be invited to sing for this event.

Telephones originally were connected directly together in pairs. Each user had separate telephones wired to the various places he might wish to reach. This became inconvenient when people wanted to talk to many other telephones, so the telephone exchange was invented. Each telephone could then be connected to other local ones, thus inventing the local loop and the telephone call. Soon, nearby exchanges were connected by trunk lines, and eventually distant ones were as well.
In modern times, most telephones are plugged into telephone jacks. Each jack is connected by inside wiring to a drop wire and then to a cable with other wires. Cables usually bring a large number of wires from all over a district access network to one wire center or telephone exchange. When the user of a telephone wants to make a telephone call, equipment at the exchange examines the dialed telephone number and connects that telephone line to another in the same wire center, or to a trunk to a distant exchange. Most of the exchanges in the world are connected to each other, forming the Public Switched Telephone Network or PSTN. By the end of the 20th century almost all were Stored Program Control exchanges.
After the middle 20th century fax and data became important secondary users of the network created to carry voices, and late in the century parts of the network were upgraded with ISDN and DSL to improve handling of such traffic.
Digital telephony is the use of digital technology in the provision of telephone services and systems. Almost all telephone calls are provided this way, but sometimes the term is restricted to cases in which the last mile is digital, or where the conversion between digital and analog signals takes place inside the telephone. Telephony was digitized to cut the cost and improve the quality of voice services, but digital telephony was then found useful for new network services (ISDN) to transfer data speedily over telephone lines.
IP Telephony is a modern form of telephony which uses the TCP/IP protocol popularized by the internet to transmit digitized voice data. Contrast this with the operation of POTS (an acronym for "Plain Old Telephone Service").
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) enables computers to know about and control phone functions such as making and receiving voice, fax, and data calls with telephone directory services and caller identification. The integration of telephone software and computer systems is a major development in the evolution of the automated office.
CTI is not a new concept. Such links have been used in the past in large telephone networks but only dedicated call centers could justify the costs of the required equipment installation. Primary telephone service providers are offering information services such as Automatic Number Identification and Dialed Number Identification Service on a scale wide enough for its implementation to bring real value to business or residential telephone usage. A new generation of applications (middleware) is being developed as a result of standardization and availability of low cost computer telephony links.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley fielded questions about the Annapolis budget meltdown, the newly drawn 6th congressional district, the Wisconsin recall election and his own 2016 presidential ambitions at an on the record briefing with national press this morning.
Reporters from Time, USA Today, Newsweek, MSNBC and the NewsHour were among the roughly 30 journalists to attend the "Inside Politics" breakfast hosted by CNN pundit Bill Schneider at Third Way, a think tank in Washington. The first questions were on the recent troubles in Annapolis -- the legislature adjourned last week without approving the budget that leaders had agreed upon.
O'Malley told the group that a "silly bomb of gambling" went off on the final day of the legislative session, creating a budget deadlock that left the state with a budget that deeply cuts Democratic priorities like education.

Mapuche Indians and Leftists Slam Argentina's Chevron Deal
Masked demonstrators holding sticks march toward Argentina's state-controlled YPF oil company headquarters to protest a deal between YPF and the U.S. oil company Chevron in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tuesday, July 16, 2013.

The Argentine government's long-sought deal with Chevron Corp. to exploit shale oil reserves in Patagonia was strongly criticized Wednesday by Mapuche Indians, human rights activists, environmentalists and leftists who called it a sellout to the U.S. that could drain and pollute the nation's resources.
The $1.5 billion joint venture with Chevron was made public in a brief announcement by the state-owned YPF oil company Tuesday night. President Cristina Fernandez said the deal will promote energy independence for Argentina, but many of her one-time allies warned that it would do the opposite.
"It's an irresponsibility and a lack of consciousness that the national government hands over these resources to Chevron," said Nilo Cayuqueo, who leads a Mapuche community in Neuquen province, where the Vaca Muerta shale oil basin is. "We're talking about money here, nothing else. They don't talk about the environment, or of future generations."
Mapuches say the land belongs to them and contend they weren't consulted about the deal in violation of international treaties covering indigenous peoples. YPF denied that claim Tuesday.
Adolfo Perez Esquivel, an Argentine rights activist awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1980, said the deal would hurt the country.
"We Argentines," he said, "are giving our resources to the United States and converting YPF into a highly polluting company that will use this method known as fracking," which requires millions of gallons of fresh water pumped at high pressure to extract oil and natural gas from otherwise unproductive wells deep underground in shale deposits.
Perez Esquivel said he would file suit demanding to see environmental impact studies and try to block the oil development. But he said he had little hope of success since the court system recently overturned an injunction seizing any Chevron profits in Argentina if the company didn't pay a $19 billion damage judgment won by plaintiffs in Ecuador, where the Texaco oil company since bought by Chevron was judged to have contaminated parts of the Amazon.
The deal reached with Chevron is the biggest foreign investment that Argentina has attracted since expropriating YPF from control of the Spanish company Grupo Repsol last year. Repsol is demanding $10 billion in compensation and threatens to sue any oil company that takes over the wells.

Minneapolis, Minnesota (PRWEB) July 30, 2013
New guidelines for Twin Cities veterans seeking to buy a home or refinance their existing home mortgage, are announced by the Minnesota Housing Financial Affairs. The ability to obtain a home mortgage at lower interest rates than usual is a compelling reason for many veterans to own rather than rent their home.
"Many steps in the process of refinancing a VA loan are tedious and simply require patience. The paperwork is long, detailed, and complicated - however, it is doable and worth the rewards of homeownership. You will want someone familiar with the process and real estate terms to guide you," says Home Destination's owner, Jenna Thuening.
Veterans gained 300 million in new grant monies as announced by the U.S. Department of Military Affairs July 11th. "We are strengthening our partnership with community non-profits across the country to provide Veterans and their families with hope, a home, and a future," Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced on July 11, 2013.
Don't buy a house unless you can afford the entire cost on top of all your other living expenses, advises the article The Only Rule For How Much House You Can Afford If You're Military. Due to how often families with the mortgage provider are given new PCS orders and the need to leave the home comes up. Unless the home has been kept in move-ready condition, it may be challenging to sell the home fast enough, or to secure a renter. Kate asks, "Can you pay for all the house and all the associated expenses in addition to your living expenses at your new home"?
Home Destination highlights the following form instructions for Veteran homeowners:
"Low mortgage rates and tighter underwriting standards have led to a huge demand for VA loans from refinancers", says Michael Frueh, loan guaranty director for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Rates are still remarkably low even though some activity in mortgage rates has moved upward. Many traditional lenders have unique opportunities to help veterans refinance just 80 percent of a home's current market value, and many VA lenders are keeping a far reach at just 90 percent, according to the Veterans Of Foreign Wars website.
Questions Home Destinations Recommends When Asking For A VA Home Mortgage:
1) Get you gain pre-qualified home loan status so you know what type of home price range to look in.
2) Help you compare different VA loan options that might fit your needs.
3) Explain the mortgage terms and process
4) Determine the amount you can borrow with a VA loan and how much your monthly payment will be.
5) Help you complete an application for a VA loan.
6) Put into print an official pre-qualification letter to help you buy the home you want.
Twin Cities veterans looking for help to buy a new home or refinance an existing home gain key home buyer resources and tips to navigate the process from Home Destination. Jenna Thuening works strong on every client's behalf to determine the best possible opportunities. Call 612-396-7832 and schedule a personal consultation.

Mother charged with attempted capital murder after car hits Galveston bayou
By Heather Alexander | May 28, 2014 | Updated: May 28, 2014 5:21pm
A woman has been charged with the attempted capital murder of her child after she allegedly drove her car into Offats Bayou near Galveston and then held her 6-month-old baby under the water while rescuers tried to reach the pair.
Latonya Kirven, 32, from Galveston also ran over another man leaving him in critical condition at the city's University of Texas Medical Branch.
Officers said Kirven was first spotted crashing her silver Pontiac into two cars on 52nd street at around 5 p.m. Monday.
According to Galveston police, witnesses saw a man come out of a house and get into an argument with her before Kirven drove her car over him, seriously injuring him.
Police said they received a second call just 15 minutes later reporting that Kirven had driven her car with her child inside into the bayou at Washington Park.
Tyler Arcizo, 19, was fishing in the park with a group of friends and rushed in to save the child.
"Once the car was tipping, you see the car seat for the baby tip over. My friend was like there is a baby, there is a baby," Arcizo told KHOU.
Galveston police said that when officers arrived they found bystanders had already managed to reach the child and bring him to safety, but Kirven was still swimming around naked in the water.
Sgt. Joshua Schirard said that after reviewing video evidence from the scene, the 32-year-old has been charged with attempted capital murder.
Officers said video footage recorded by witnesses show she tried to drown the baby even as rescuers tried to reach them.
Kirven also faces two other charges of driving while intoxicated and assault with a deadly weapon.
The 72-year-old man she is accused of running over is the father of another of her children, police said.
The man's granddaughter told WUSA9 that Kirven had a drug problem.
"Those drugs have got her mind. If she was herself, she wouldn't have done it. Those drugs have her flipping out like that," said Jamie Williams. "My grandfather's arm is broken and his neck is broken."

IT'S FRIDAY evening, and you're about to head out of the city. But the traffic news tells you that there's a jam on your normal route. Is it worth taking an alternative? And how far out of your way do you need to go to avoid the snarl-up?
If you lived in Duisburg in Germany, you need never wrestle with this kind of dilemma. Instead, you could plan your journey using an up-to-the-minute map of traffic flow for the entire city.
These maps are constructed from data taken by vehicle detectors dispersed throughout the city's streets. But there is no way that the entire city could be staked out this way. Data recorded at a few key points provide the input to a real-time on-line computer simulation of the traffic flow, pegging the model to reality. This system, developed by Michael Schreckenberg and his colleagues at the University of Duisburg, ...

Erik Severinghaus, left, says you can take a corporate job, create a financial cushion and walk out one day to start your own business. Young Entrepreneur Council
Many young people see getting a prestigious early job as a great stepping stone to an entrepreneurial career. The appeal is obvious: make money, build a network, and maybe even learn something along the way.
While those things may all be true, there are also a number of pitfalls to be wary of. In fact, as I talk with my old friends from IBM—where I took a prestigious consulting job immediately after graduating from the University of North Carolina's Business School—it's amazing how many IBMers who once considered Big Blue a waypoint on their road to entrepreneurship are now corporate men through and through. Similarly, I see a number of my friends from Kellogg who "want to be entrepreneurs," but are unlikely to get away from the comfort and security of corporate America.
I can personally vouch for the fact that it doesn't have to be that way. You can take a corporate job, create a financial cushion and walk out one day to start your own business. Here are the three most common traps you'll face in the process—and how to avoid each:
Making a bit of money is fantastic, and if that cash is properly saved, it can provide a cushion for entrepreneurship. But the idea that your expenses will usually grow to match your income is axiomatic for good reason, and as companies slap on "golden handcuffs," it becomes very difficult to leave and go back to the life of austerity and Ramen noodles that entrepreneurs are often familiar with.
Put another way, you will almost certainly only become more valuable with experience, and the opportunity cost of leaving to be an entrepreneur will only go up over the course of your life. Not to mention the fact that as you get older, long-term financial obligations (mortgages, kids, etc.) seem to multiply.

The Nebelung cat is a recognized breed of domestic cat. They tend to have long bodies with green eyes and long, dense fur. The Nebelung has a similar appearance to the Norwegian Forest Cat and the Maine Coon. These cats are known for having very mild dispositions. The name of the cat is supposedly a portmanteau of the German word "nebel", that means mist or fog, which could be referring to the blue/grey color of this breed's coat.. It could also come from the German medieval saga, Nibelungenlied, as the breed's progenitors, Siegfried and Brunhilde were named after two of the major figures in the Nibelungenlied.
The Nebelung is an intelligent cat that is even-tempered, good-natured and lively. They are very active cats, full of energy that love to play with toys and their human owners. They crave the interaction time they have with their owners and don't mind if it is through play, grooming or cuddling on the sofa that they get it. Despite its high energy levels, the Nebelung is perfectly capable of being an indoor cat. This breed is quite wary of strangers and tends to keep a distance from them, preferring their own family to anyone else. They are quite vocal cats and will often "communicate" with their owners about anything and everything. With socialization, the Nebelung will bond well with small children and other pets.
Build (Male / Female)
Male: 6-11 pounds (2-5kg)
Female: 6-11 pounds (2-5kg)
Life Expectancy
12 -15 years
Litter Size
Approximately 6 kittens
The medium to long length hair requires brushing and combing at least twice a week to keep it in really good condition. Long hair has more chance of ending up knotted and so brushing must be more thorough.

Can HPV be prevented after having two of the vaccine shots? Or are all three necessary to completely prevent the STD?
- Marina*
The HPV vaccine works best when people receive all three shots on schedule. Scientists don't yet know how much protection someone has after just one or two shots.
Your best bet is to keep a calendar or set a phone reminder so you remember when shots are due. After your first shot, ask the doctor or nurse when you'll need to get the next shots. Schedule appointments right then, if you can — or write down the dates so you remember to set up something later.
But what if you've missed a shot? If you're under age 26, you can probably catch up by getting shots that pick up where your last series left off.

I would love to see the Republican Party try to remove the progenitor of the Tea Party movement from all his committees. They should really take a stand and do that, it'll do wonders for the 2010 elections.
According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Reps. Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana and Ron Paul of Texas have joined Rep. Don Young (AK) in requesting earmarks for the 2011 fiscal year, despite a House Republican caucus vote this month to institute a moratorium on earmarks for one year.
Those members' committee assignments could be on the line, according to a spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner.
"The Leaders expect all House Republican members to comply with the moratorium," the spokesman, Michael Steel, said in an email. "There will be situations where we have some confusion on how these rules are implemented, but if Members are deliberately breaking the rules, it will be a serious matter and one that the Steering Committee will consider."
I cannot wait for the word back to the Tea Party community that Ron Paul just got tossed off of all his committees. I'm sure that would energize this new base.
The thing is, if you listen to Paul's spokesman, he's pretty much right on this issue:
Paul spokeswoman Rachel Mills said he thinks Washington already extracts too much money from his constituents, and "part of his job is to work hard in Washington, D.C., to get that money back to those constituents in any form that he can." She said Paul also believes that earmarking is more transparent than the regular budget process because you know exactly where the money goes and that it doesn't affect the total amount appropriated by one dime.
Yes, this conflicts with libertarian ideology in part, but not in the whole. I don't think almost any attention should be paid to the ridiculous earmark issue, which accounts for around 1% of the federal budget. But to the extent there is attention, Paul is correct. No earmark affects total appropriations. And failing to earmark does leave appropriations up to the federal government and the related executive agencies to determine where the money goes. You can see a list of Paul's earmark requests here.
The entire drama over earmarks is silly, so if it results in Ron Paul losing committee assignments and the GOP leadership having to explain that and have this debate, all the better.

I was there with a group of 9 to watch football. It was pretty empty considering NY was in the playoffs. The food was good, and the service was too. I don't usually like breaded wings (i go with very hot ones) but theirs are really good. The parmasan cheese fries are unbelievable, taste like little garlic knots. very nice in side, clean and spacious.

We live in the area, and we've tried almost all of the bar/pubs/restaurants in the area- Beckett's is BY FAR our favorite. You must try their tuna tartare- it is chunky diced fresh ahi tuna on a bed of avocado with some sort of sweetish soy sauce- it is soooo good! My other favorite item is the tuna burger, which is not canned or frozen, it is fresh ahi tuna with spices. It is definitely on the spicy side, so if you are sensitive, beware. It's tangy and delicious! The portions are big, too. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that the waitresses aren't so attentive, but I have found that at EVERY single restaurant on Stone Street. What's up with that? Definitely go here for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed!

Went here with friends after work. Band was way too loud, maybe it was just me, other people seemed to be ok with the volume. Food was sub par, ceasar salad dressing was flavorless, the food in general was bland and unseasoned, we had to "doctor" everything with salt and pepper just to add a little flavor. Beer was great, but you can't really get that wrong.

Excellent food and very reasonable prices. Best pub restaurant in town. I highly recommend it. Also they have a room to have parties.

I love this place! During Summer months- you can sit outside at the Patio Tables which fill the whole street. Great place for "happy hour" crowd... Young Wall Street types... Food is awesome!Try the Calamari... it's outta this world! And Veggie Spring Rolls! I go back all the time... they can't keep me away!

Stopped in for lunch with co-workers. We had the fish & chips, chicken pot pie and goat cheese ravioli. Impressive menu - everything looked good and had a hard time choosing. Everyone enjoyed their lunch. Waitress was very nice. Food came out quickly. It is a pub atmosphere. Large bar, space to eat inside and out.

One of the most dramatic features in the entire Solar System is Olympus Mons on Mars. It's the tallest known volcano and mountain in the Solar System, towering 27 kilometers above the surrounding plains, and covering a total area of 550 kilometers across.
Just as a comparison, the tallest volcano on Earth is Mauna Kea; Olympus Mons is 2.6 times as large. And it's three times taller than Mount Everest above sea level.
If human travelers actually get to Mars, they would probably want to stand on the surface of Olympus Mons and look around, but they might be surprised to know it's not a very dramatic view. The volcano is so tall, and so wide that you wouldn't be able to see the top of the mountain from any point on its flanks. Mars is also a much smaller world than Earth, so its horizon is only a few kilometers away.
If you were actually standing at the top of Olympus Mons, you might be able to see the other side of the crater-like caldera that stretches about 80 kilometers across, and drops down 3 kilometers. Now that would be a dramatic view.
Scientists think that Olympus Mons was able to get so large over millions of years because Mars lacks active plate tectonics like we have here on Earth. A hotspot was able to form, and grow over time, releasing more and more magma.
Based on crater counts, some regions of Olympus Mons are as young as 2 million years old. This means that the shield volcano could very well still be undergoing active volcanic activity. We might be able to see more eruptions in the future.
Olympus Mons is part of the Tharsis bulge region of the Martian surface, which has many other large volcanic features. In fact, there are three other enormous shield volcanoes nearby: Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Ascraeus Mons; each of which would take the prize for the largest volcano in the Solar System if it weren't for Olympus Mons.
Here's a photograph of cliffs on the edge of Olympus Mons. And news that Olympus Mons was active recently.
Volcano world has more information on Olympus Mons, and the other Mars volcanoes. And Exploring Mars has a page on Olympus Mons.
Finally, if you'd like to learn more about Mars in general, we have done several podcast episodes about the Red Planet at Astronomy Cast. Episode 52: Mars, and Episode 91: The Search for Water on Mars.

RAP Home > Sponsor & Adviser Information > Guidelines for Program Sponsors
This document provides information for a federal agency, research laboratory or center, or other research entity that wishes to initiate sponsorship of a National Research Council Research Associateship Program.The Associateship Programs have two objectives: (1) to provide postdoctoral scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability opportunities for research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the research interests of the sponsoring laboratories and (2) to contribute thereby to the overall research efforts of these laboratories and to the national scientific and technological welfare.The development of a successful Research Associateship Program requires a continued commitment at a level of participation that is cost effective for the sponsor. A research laboratory or center that develops a reputation in the academic community for outstanding postdoctoral research opportunities and excellent support from the administrative and professional scientific and technical staff attracts high quality applicants. A prospective new sponsor should examine carefully its expectations for the program and be prepared to make a sustained commitment to ensure success.Resident Research Associateship ProgramThe NRC Research Associateship Programs were initiated in 1954 in response to a request from the National Bureau of Standards, now the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). The NRC was requested to develop a program wherein postdoctoral scientists and engineers would be selected on a competitive basis to conduct research projects of their own design in NIST laboratories. In 1959 a derivative of this initial program was developed wherein the Research Associates become guest investigators, not employees, at the sponsor research facility conducting research on the project proposed as part of their application to the NRC. The eligibility requirements were broadened to include, at the sponsor's option, non-U.S. scientists and engineers and, in addition to "regular postdoctoral Associates," applicants who have held the doctorate for more than five years (senior Associates).The NRC convenes review panels, recommends awardees, and handles the administrative affairs for the Research Associates. These administrative functions include disbursement of stipends, management of travel, insurance coverage, and relocation payments as well as preparation of visa documents for non-U.S. nationals. The NRC provides quality oversight to each sponsored program with site visits, staff visits, and required reports from the RRA's.
Because of the special nature of the Congressional charter for the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences (the NRC'S parent organization), funds are generally provided by means of a sole source contract or cooperative agreement between the sponsor and the NRC.In developing a proposal, a sponsor or prospective sponsor informs the NRC of the number of Research Associates it wishes to host, and the NRC develops a budget to include monies paid to and on behalf of Associates and the indirect costs of the NRC in conducting the program. Responsibilities of the Research Associate A NRC Research Associate is expected to devote 100 percent effort to the research program approved by the laboratory and the NRC panels and not be involved in any other compensatory activity. The Associateship opportunity is expected to provide a stimulating intellectual experience, and activities that would detract from concentrating exclusively on the research program, such as part-time teaching or other work, are not permitted.Associates, while not being employees of either the host laboratory or the NRC, are expected to conform to all established policies of the host laboratory. They should keep the regular laboratory hours as their research allows. Associates normally take the posted holidays; however, they do not receive or earn "annual leave" as such. Recognizing that each Associate will of necessity need to be away from the laboratory (or center) from time to time, the NRC expects that the Associate will discuss such needs with his or her Research Adviser and take time away as agreed upon. Each Associate is required to make a six-month report to the NRC and to submit a research completion report at the end of the research tenure. All Associates are highly encouraged to publish research results in appropriate refereed journals giving proper credit to the host laboratory, to the NRC, and to other collaborating scientists or engineers involved.Responsibilities of the SponsorA sponsor is expected to provide the intellectual support necessary for the timely completion of the research project proposed by the Associate. It is expected that the Research Associate will not be assigned laboratory duties unrelated to his or her research proposal so that total effort can be devoted to the approved project. The intellectual support for a Research Associate comes primarily from a Research Adviser who has been nominated by the laboratory to serve in that role. Research Advisors are senior staff who are engaged in research as their primary assignment. Each Research Adviser is individually approved by the NRC and reviewed periodically during formal site visits.Since a major goal of the Research Associateship Programs is the professional scientific or technical development of the individual, an Associate should be encouraged to interact with others in a laboratory research group as an integral part of the "research family" and should not be treated as an "outside" contractor.Programmatic support includes items such as: adequate research space; reasonable office arrangements and clerical support; supplies and equipment necessary for the conduct of the research program; reasonable technical support as may be needed; computer and library resources as may be required; assistance with arrangements and travel expenses or other costs associated with field research; use of other laboratory facilities, if required; page costs associated with publication of research results with appropriate credit to the sponsor.Although the NRC has the major responsibility for the production and dissemination of program promotional materials, the material to be printed in the various publications or posted in electronic format must originate with the sponsor. This includes: description of the laboratory and units that will participate; descriptions of special facilities or equipment; write-ups of the research opportunities to be offered.It is very important that the laboratory participates in the promotion of its program and communicates extensively with professors and graduate students concerning its participation in the Research Associateship Programs and its interest in attracting postdoctoral scientists or engineers. As staff members of the sponsor participate in the appropriate national and international meetings or give university seminars, they should bring to the attention of their peers and others, particularly graduate students, the research opportunities available. Emphasis on how a research experience at the laboratory could assist in the development of their research careers is important.Each sponsor is requested to designate an appropriate scientist or engineer, preferably at a high level in the research organization, to provide administrative coordination with the NRC Research Associateship Programs. This individual is called the Laboratory Program Representative (LPR) and together with the NRC Program Administrator for the particular sponsor, forms the primary basis of communication between the sponsor and the NRC. An annual meeting of LPRs is held at the NRC in Washington, DC.CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RESEARCH ADVISER NOMINEES
BackgroundThe role of a Research Adviser to a National Research Council Research Associate is analogous to that of a major professor to a postdoctoral fellow in a major research university, although an Associate should not require the level of guidance and supervision a graduate student does.An Adviser is expected to furnish scholarly stimulation, provide encouragement and scientific and technical advice, and offer any other types of support that will help an Associate develop into a mature researcher. Ideally, to fulfill this role, an Adviser should be a mature, experienced scholar/researcher with an ongoing research program and professional recognition attained through recent publication in open journals and literature appropriate to his or her field. For a Senior Research Associate, the relationship with an Adviser is that of a professional colleague. An Adviser should have enough experience and stature at the laboratory to be able to assist the Associate in acclimating to the laboratory environment, locating work space, purchasing and/or assembling equipment, securing technical shop support, and obtaining access to library and computer resources.
EducationAn Adviser nominee should hold a research doctorate in the appropriate field or be an experienced, mature individual with a Master of Science degree whose publication record in the open literature has demonstrated, without question, national recognition in the appropriate field.ExperienceAn Adviser nominee should have a minimum of five years research experience beyond the doctoral degree. This experience may be in a government or industrial laboratory or at a university, providing research was integral to a faculty appointment. In lieu of five years postdoctoral research experience, a combination of a Master of Science Degree and 15 years of relevant work and research experience will be considered.Professional FocusExperience has shown that although administrators, such as section heads or branch chiefs, may have outstanding research records and play an important role in providing a good climate for Associates, the most effective Advisers are staff members who spend their major effort at research and have time available for interaction with Associates. Nomination of an administrator is therefore not encouraged unless evidence can be provided that the nominee is an active investigator with time available to devote to an Associate.PublicationsA nominee should have a reasonable number of publications that are referenced in appropriate open journals and literature and should have been published within the past five years to reflect peer acceptance of his or her research productivity. In-house technical reports, while helpful, are not regarded as sufficient evidence of external peer acceptance of research output.SUGGESTED PROCEDURE FOR INITIATING A NEW PROGRAMThe following steps are recommended for laboratories interested in initiating a Research Associateshipprogram:
THE VISITThe formal site visit to a single geographic location is usually accomplished in one day. If the research units to be visited are at different locations, the visit may be conducted on different days, either in succession or with some delay between visits. In the case of a very large research complex, embodying several major units, the visit may possibly extend into a second day.
Site visit team arrives at laboratory
a. By laboratory visit coordinatorb. By NRC Program Administrator or Director
Team meets with Research Advisers.The team may split, with individual members visiting particular researchareas or, depending upon the number of Research Advisers to be visited, the entire team may choose to remain together. At any point, the team chair may ask for a brief executive session.
