Sensor3 is the foundation for a versatile power system that builds on our proven Sensor® workhorse system with CEM3 control. ETC's Sensor3 Power Control Systems are the performance standard for top theaters, TV studios, and concert halls worldwide. Because a complete range of Sensor3 racks are available, smaller venues like schools and community theaters can also afford Sensor3 excellence.
Modularity means configurability: mix and match the modules in the racks according to your particular fixture inventory. Now with Sensor3's new three-in-one ThruPower modules, you can freely jump from Dimmable to Non-Dim as well as lock a circuit to a constant hot output override without changing modules. The compact design lets you slide up to 48 modules for up to 96 circuits of 2.4kW dimming in and out of a single Sensor3 rack - without tools! And you can take advantage of ETC's innovative Dimmer Doubling™ (twice the control, half the circuits!) and save on dimmer costs.
With CEM3 Power Control, your system is high performance, fast to set up and easy to use! Quickly override levels with console-style number-pad entry. Take remote management even further with Advanced Feature (AF) monitoring by providing circuit-specific information, such as load changes, lamp failures or breaker trips directly to the control console.
Our philosophy at ETC is "zero downtime!" Add the optional backup stations for an easy, 'off the network' control backup solution for failure proofing. Additionally, system backup is stored directly in the rack - which means no setup during controller changes - and options are available for secondary USB backups.

Dwarf Bean 'Italian Borletto' Bean - Seed
Vigorous cropper and high yield!
Ordering options
Dried beans require no prior treatment but soaking overnight in lukewarm water can help germination.Sowing method
Seeds germinate in 14 days. Sow some beans every 3 weeks to give more than one harvest per season. There are 2 methods of sowing: 1. Sow directly in the garden, preferably in a sunny spot as soon as all danger of frost has passed, up to and including July. Loosen the soil in the bed with a fork to a depth of at least 30 cm. There should be no fresh manure in the soil and it should not be too cold or wet. Stretch some garden string between two canes at either end of the bed and drag a furrow along the length of the string. Throw five beans in a hole every 40 cm and cover with soil to a depth of 4 or 5 cm. Use the back of the rake to press lightly down and immediately sprinkle with water. Remove the string and use a marker to label the row. Rows should be 40 cm apart. 2. Sprouting seeds are very liable to frost damage. A good tip is to germinate indoors with the advantage that the birds can't get at them either. Sow in pots, March-April and fill the pots with good potting compost, 5 beans to a pot. Cover with a layer of potting compost to a maximum of 3 cm deep. Press lightly down and sprinkle with water. Stand the pots in a sunny place at room temperature. If the seedlings start to get too big before it is possible to plant out, gain some time by storing them in a cool room. Give the sprouts enough room to grow – keep the pots far enough apart that the leaves do not touch. Give each pot its own cane and tie the plants in as they grow. Plant out after all danger of frost has past, 5 plants (one pot) per cane or string, every 40 cm and rows also 40 cm apart.
There are many varieties of beans. Borlotti bean is a butter bean variant. Butter beans are so-called due to their butter yellow colouring. They taste slightly smoother than green beans and have white (not yellow) beans in their pods.
Dried beans become edible when soaked in salty water overnight and then cooked in various recipes – like chilli con carne, baked beans in tomato sauce and other dishes. Dried beans can be stored for a long time in paper bags, as long as they are in a dry area. This dwarf bean is unusually decorative! Fill a glass jar with them and add a little ribbon...nice on a shelf.
Only give extra water in periods of drought. Keep the bed free of weeds - the beans will then grow better.Harvesting
Use both hands to harvest – it is too easy to damage the plant if you use only one. This variety of bean should be allowed to dry before harvesting, so the pods are easily opened to hull the beans - these should then also be left to dry. It is possible to pick them green too – when the beans in the pod are visible, they're ready. Dry them indoors. Following this early harvest, the plant should keep growing and flowering and this will give you the biggest harvest. The plant is usually all dried up at the end of the season so can then be dug up and discarded.

So what's the big deal about citing sources anyway?
If you do not cite sources you are stealing someone
else's work or ideas.
Now that might not sound like a big deal, but to campus
it is and if you are caught stealing someone's ideas or work its called
plagiarism. If you are caught plagiarizing a document then the University
will punish you ranging from your instructor asking you to redo your bibliography
to being kicked out of CSUS. Yes, you read correctly, the University can
and will kick out students who plagiarize. Read more about the Academic
Dishonesty Policy at http://www.csus.edu/admbus/umanual/UMA00150.htm.
So the key is to avoid plagiarism. How? Below are
some tips to avoid plagiarizing a document:
If in doubt, cite it!
If you are not sure whether you should cite a passage
or concept, do it. Unless something is accepted as common knowledge like
"Columbus sailed in 1492" then in general it is a safe idea
to simply add a citation, either in text, in a footnote, or a parenthetical
Make a works cited page as you write your paper.
While you are writing and including citations to
strengthen your arguments or prove points simply make a note in your bibliography
and works cited page. That way you will not need to hunt through all the
resources at the end of the project trying to remember which idea or sentence
came from whom.
Take a test to see if you understand Plagiarism.
The Indiana University School of Education has
an online test to check your skills at detecting plagiarism. http://education.indiana.edu/~frick/plagiarism/
Refer to your Style Manual frequently.
No matter what citation style you are using check
the style manual frequently to see how they cite sources and create bibliographies.
The APA manual has an excellent example of a research paper and is a valuable
resource to consult if and when questions arise.
Check out these links to other sources on citation

What is the process of concept formation in psychology?
1 Answer | Add Yours
"Concept formation" as a psychological term means "the experiences in (a child's) life that give substance and referential value to an abstract concept." The classic example is "father." While this term has a biological meaning, it also has a sociological and psychological meaning for each person, based on how that concept manifested itself as we grew up: a sheltering, protective male figure, a stern punisher, an indulgent self-centered person, a companion, etc., based on our distinct experiences that built a real experiential figure from the "concept" of fatherhood. The psychologist (or psychiatrist) tries to help the patient go back to those experiences that formed his or her concept. If a patient has a phobia—fear of heights, for example—the psychologist will try to pinpoint those moments when height was associated with danger—a fall from a swing, a broken tree branch, etc.

With Cajun-accented comfort food, Tenn16 hits paydirt in Five Points
First and Tenn by Carrington Fox | Nashville SCENE
…Crab Benedict arrived with fluffy clouds of poached egg atop plump patties of seared seafood. Delicate drizzles of smoked poblano hollandaise accented open-face English muffins, and a creamy scoop of potatoes — like the depraved spawn of hash browns and potatoes au gratin — almost upstaged the main dish.
The surprise beauty at the table was the pedestrian-sounding steak and eggs. We expected charred meat and a yellow scramble, but chef Steven Stuart had a more elegant vision. Seared to rose-red medium-rare perfection, the hanger steak was sliced on the bias and fanned elegantly alongside eggs of our choice. (Tip: Over-medium eggs provided silky yolk to push the marriage of béarnaise and potato cakes over the top.)
A sunny silken bath of sherry cream reduction put a refined twist on traditional shrimp and grits, which were loaded with andouille sausage and the trinity of onions, peppers and celery, and topped with shredded asiago cheese…. Read Full Article
Written by Nancy Vienneau For The Tennessean
Much busyness for the enterprising folks behind The Red Door and 3 Crow Bar: They have added a third to their roster of East Nasty drinking and dining establishments: Tenn Sixteen Food & Drink Co.
The casual eatery and watering hole is housed on Woodland Street — at 1016, as you might have guessed. Street number or state abbreviation (were we not the 16th to join?), its concept is Southern, with strong leanings toward Louisiana.
A breezy evening sees the huge front windows open, bringing the fall-tinged air and sidewalk bustle of Five Points into the place. Walls are painted in NOLA colors — purple, green, yellow — and hung with brightly colored paintings. Huge fans and Mardi Gras beaded chandeliers are suspended from the rafters.
Tables and booths are set with bottles of Read more →
The Great Nashville Odyssey Mary Brace's hunt for Nashville's finest (relatively) cheap eats — and more.
Today's heat is brought to you by a restaurant that's new both to Nashville and the Nashville Hot Chicken scene. The Woodland Street digs (1016 — very clever, n'est ce pas?) have a New Orleans flair with open-window seating, Mardi Gras beads for chandeliers, and they're very, very proud of their po'boys. But that's not what induced me to sit down in the middle of East Nashville's Tomato Art Festival.
Tenderness: 10 Wow. I've had quite a lot of buttermilk-induced texture since this trek began and so far, Tenn 16 has it down.
Moisture: 8 These two, tenderness and moisture are no doubt, related. Tenn 16 had plenty, although it wasn't dripping chicken juices. An element of their coating added a little bit.
Grease: 6 But there was a little bit of that; plenty of sauce soaked into the bread below the meat.
Flavor: 8 This Nashville restaurant's hot chicken has an element I haven't tasted anywhere else (yet). Rather than rely on cayenne (although I'm sure there's some) Tenn 16 uses a ginger/white pepper combo that's distinctive without over powering the chicken itself.
Atmosphere: 10 I am a sucker for those window seats. If you are a people watcher, this is a destination spot in Nashville.
Sides: 5 The dish automatically comes with coleslaw. I didn't think to ask for something different and, as I'm not a slaw eater, can't tell you how Tenn 16's ranked.
Overall: 8
Posted by Eric and Katie | nashvillerestaurants.blogspot.com
Tenn Sixteen restaurant in East Nashville has just opened with a New Orleans vibe. We say vibe, rather than theme, because it takes the best of New Orleans: funky, stylish, lively and combines it with Southern and Nashville touches for a unique approach that seems like tailor-made fun for Five Points. Sure, you'll find lamps made of Mardi Gras beads and a few other obvious decor choices. Otherwise, the art work and feel of the place just reminds us of something you might find in the cooler parts of the French Quarter. They have a big wrap-around bar and dozens of beer choices. We can't keep our eyes off the Read more →

This exclusive speculative preview from the 2015 Tundra Baja 1000 imagines the way in which a Ford Raptor rival from Toyota might compare using the hot-selling off-roader coming from the segment-leading F-150.
The Tundra reached its U. S. revenue peak in 2007, once the massive rig was all-new and arrived from its billion-dollar assembly plant directly in the heart of Texas. Ever since that day, the Tundra has struggled to even crack 100, 000 units, that is really a significant sore spot when even the dullest Toyota sedans such as the Corolla can rack up greater than triple the entire volume from the Tundra.
And now what is missing coming from the Tundra 's 3 cab designs, brief and long bed choices, and 3 engines which prime out having a potent 5. 7-liter V-8 creating 383 horsepower? The Tundra is missing a lot of when compared to a few million loyal consumers, first and foremost, versus the long-trenched buyers of Ram, Ford, Chevy or GMC trucks.
Even the also-ran Nissan Titan PRO-4X is fitting a few new off-road hero truck concepts for subsequent year's all-new design. For slow-moving
Toyota? Thus far, the world's most admired car maker has solely dipped its toes straight into the pool.
The new 1794 Edition from the Tundra packs a lot of phony silver trims when compared to a Nokia factory, and also the Toyota Racing Development 4×4 stickers its dealers prefer to apply don't seem to have a similar result like the Raptor 's distinctive grille, huge fender flares, Fox racing suspension and sand-basted mindset.
TRD is simply in regards to the worst acronym imaginable, thus this TopSpeed preview of the Tundra off-roader is dubbed the Baja 1000.

Haiti has come a long way in the past six months, and the presidential vote last Sunday is an indication that we are on the way to change, a change that I envisioned when I declared my candidacy for Haiti's presidency last summer. Ruled off the ballot by the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), I kept going, embracing the candidacy of Michel Martelly, who has been propelled forward with his message of change and hope to the youth of Haiti, bringing a new sense of leadership to Haitian politics that has never existed and will be in the forefront for the world to see!
Despite the many stories about my wound on the eve of the Haitian election, I am glad to say I am doing well and recovering quickly. The story shouldn't be about my hand, but instead, what happened on the day of the election in Haiti. For the first time in a very long time the youth of Haiti, making up over 52 percent of the population, heard democracy ring through the mountains. of Haiti, I am savoring the victory of the majority of Haitians who voted peacefully on Sunday against the status quo.
We should be careful and watchful in the next few days. The CEP, empowered to organize the elections, states that preliminary results will be released on March 31, with the final and official count on April 16. Considering the past performance of that contested body, it is with trepidation that we are waiting. Already the adverse camp is criticizing a radio station that published some early results based on actual figures that showed Mr. Martelly with a commanding lead — more than 70% in certain precincts. We are admonished not to rush into any conclusion, because only the word of the CEP is official. Meanwhile, the press office of presidential candidate Mirlande Manigat released information Monday via the internet claiming that "the first official minutes that reached our campaign Office indicates that [our] candidate is winning in all the departments." Also, undocumented information.
We hope that the CEP will redeem itself from the mess it created in the first round. How can we forget what happened last November 28? Thanks to some national and international electoral observers, we saw in black and white the fraud that was perpetrated by the CEP under the watch of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the MINUSTAH, as the United Nations Mission in Haiti is called. An example among many was what happened in the Northeast Department. Through a manipulation of the numbers at the CEP's tabulation center, 15 votes became 115 and 20 turned into 220. Thus were some legislators under the banner of pro-government INITE (Unity) party elected in the first round. Despite protests against those blatant acts of fraud, nothing was changed.
Only unrestrained violence after last December 7 publication of the presidential results forced the hand of the international community, that had spent some $29 million for the bungled elections. But in the aftermath of mayhem that resulted in the burning of government buildings in Cayes (southern Haiti) and of INITE's party headquarters in Port-au-Prince, newly empowered OAS observers reviewed the numbers for only three finishers in the presidential race. It was determined that the pro-government candidate, Jude Celestin, was not really in second place. Michel Martelly, 50, popularly known as "Sweet Micky", was the actual No. 2 and would have a run-off election against law professor and former First Lady Mirlande Manigat , 70.
The choice wasn't at all difficult for me. While I acknowledge the intellectual capacity of Madame Manigat and smiled at her slogans of "Here's your mom," "Embrace your mom," "Ask for your mom", I see her as a continuation of the past regime. For me, Mr. Martelly is a clear departure from the status quo. He's a man with a vision for the future of Haiti, one who listens to young voices and leans on experience to bring about needed change.
I salute the Haitian people for their determination in voting for change despite the character assassination of the candidate of change. And I call on the international community that helped finance the process to exercise proper oversight this time. The country needs to go from the uncertainty of the moment, to some normalcy. We have waited too long after January 12, 2010 to build and rebuild the new Haiti, which must be decentralized.

Jeter Feels Fine After Base Running, Ready To Play
Content Coordinator
Follow @ BlakeeBass
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Yankees captain Derek Jeter says he will be ready to play when eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday.
Jeter ran the bases before the series finale at Texas on Thursday. The shortstop has also been taking batting practice and grounders this week.
Jeter has played only one game this season. He returned from offseason surgery on his left ankle July 11, and hit the first pitch he saw for an infield single. But he strained his right quadriceps in that game, putting him back on the DL.
The 39-year-old Jeter broke his ankle in the opener of the AL championship series last October. A second fracture was discovered while he was rehabbing, delaying his return. He played only four minor league rehabilitation games before rejoining the Yankees.

I used a similar service called (eventually) JFax. I had a basic free
account, which gave me a fax # in Davis which, as you describe, sent a
TIFF to me.
I rarely got real faxes. I got plenty of "Disney Vacation" and
"Stock Tip" and "Mortage Rate!" fax advertising ("spam"?), though.
Eventually, the service provider said "you're receiving too many faxes,
you'll need to start paying for your account." I was, like, "screw that,
it's all frickin' spam!" No response from them, so I just cancelled it.

Wow, what, does the Windows image viewer include ads, or something?

Can face recognition keep airports safe?November 1, 2001
(continued from previous page)
To this end, Language Weaver has developed machine translation tools that can dynamically translate Arabic, Russian, Chinese and 10 other languages into English. In its sales presentations, the company has its software produce an English transcript of an Al-Jazeera broadcast while the broadcast is airing.
"It used to be finding a needle in a haystack; now it's trying to find a needle in a haystack in a field of haystacks," Language Weaver CEO Bryce Benjamin told CNET News.com in an earlier interview. "There is a lot of focus on getting automated tools." Language Weaver has received funding from the CIA-funded venture capital firm In-Q-Tel.
But more obscure languages like Pashtu and Somali are still unavailable for automated translations, which is why the federal government is working on its own internal projects. One of those the Defense Department's Language and Speech Exploitation Resources program, or LASER. It's designed to provide intelligence analysts and the military with speech transcription and translation capabilities. (Similar government-funded efforts are called Babylon, a portable device, and the Effective, Affordable, Reusable Speech-to-Text project.)
5. Faster chemical detection: The possibility of chemical attacks by terrorists has federal officials running scared, with some justification. The Aum Shinrikyo attack on the Tokyo subway system in 1995 using sarin gas--which killed 12 people and injured more than 5,000 people--showed that it's possible. The attack would have been deadlier if the group had been more skilled.
In open-air environments like city streets, the threat of a chemical attack is not as severe. Winds are unpredictable and, coupled with rising air currents, can quickly disperse a chemical agent unless a larger quantity is used.
But in subways, train stations and airports, the threat of a chemical attack is higher. In an article published in Time magazine in June, author Ron Suskind reported that a terrorist cell had planned a hydrogen cyanide attack on New York City subways but inexplicably called it off with just a few weeks to go.
Hazard materials teams at local police departments historically have used colorimetric tubes, which are designed to detect specific gases such as ammonia or chlorine. A pump is used to draw air samples through the tubes.
The problem, though, is that many chemicals can be used as weapons, and standard-issue colorimetric tubes will detect relatively few. "Many modern detection devices used by hazmat teams have not been thoroughly tested for their utility and reliability to detect" chemical weapons, a panel organized under the National Research Council concluded.
Detection technology, however, is advancing. The Safesite detector, for instance, can electronically determine the difference between nerve agents, blister agents, and toxic gases such as chlorine, hydrogen cyanide, and hydrogen chloride. And an article this year in the journal Analytical Chemistry describes how to use photoionization mass spectrometry to detect chemical warfare agents. That takes about 45 seconds--far speedier than the traditional way of performing mass spectrometry that can take an hour or more.
Raising privacy concerns
1. Omnipresent cameras: Soon after the Sept. 11 attacks, the number of surveillance cameras began growing even faster than the Department of Homeland Security's budget. In one of their more "alarming cases" in 2004, volunteers from the New York Civil Liberties Union counted 600 cameras in Manhattan's Chinatown alone--up from 13 in 1998.
Police claim say they're useful for fighting, if not preventing, terrorism; footage from London's extensive closed-circuit surveillance system helped to identify suspects from the July 2005 bombings on its subway system. Another argument is that cameras do double duty, helping nab drug dealers and thieves too.
Yet evidence suggests that surveillance cameras have limited use in crime prevention. For one thing, they seem to cause crime to shift to locations not near cameras: Violent crime in Britain has risen as cameras have multiplied. Some police may also be using controllable cameras to ogle women. And if face-recognition software is linked to the cameras, police can effectively compile dossiers on Americans' movements whenever they're in public places.
In Washington, D.C., the city council handed over more than $2.3 million last month for the installation of four dozen new surveillance cameras to the city's existing closed-circuit television system after a spate of 14 homicides in a two-week span in July.
It hasn't been uniformly applauded. "This is like a modern-day jail now," one resident of a newly watched apartment complex told the Washington City Paper, a local alternative newsweekly.
2. Registered traveler: Air travelers are gradually separating into a two-class hierarchy, at least for people who haven't opted out of the system in favor of flying to their destination in a small plane.

- Automating DNA Sweeps
- I'm sure someday we'll see "sniffers" that can detect a person's DNA and instantaneously match him or her to a target list.
Shoot, you could perhaps even remotely target terrorists with miniscule drones equipped with such technology.
Problem is, just who would use it...the most famous fictional examples come from "Dune"; a powerful trade house named Harkonnen uses such technology in small "hunter/seeker" drones to kill their enemies.
Given such steller examples of business amorality as those exhibited by Skilling and Lay of Enron, Patricia Dunn of HP, the Hunt brothers in the silver market, T. Boone Pickens' current attempts to purchase and monopolize groundwater rights in Texas so he can squeeze Texas cities for an unavoidable human requirement, and on and on and on...
Well, I'd be lying if I said "I can't believe any business would ever attempt to gain some commercial advantage by eliminating a competitor or to silence a potential whistleblower using such technology"...
Paranoia? Damn, I hope so...

- Discriminatory Remark - Smarter Translation Software...
- I find it very racist, discriminatory, and anti-Islamic for you to suggest that Arabic is a language associated with terrorist groups. That was very inappropriate for you to even suggest that. Arabic is one of the most beautiful, powerful, and rich languages that existed in the past and exists today. Just because there are some crazy nuts (ie: terrorists) who happen to also speak Arabic does not mean that Arabic (or Islam) is associated with terrorism.
When Timothy Mcveigh carried out the Oklahoma City Bombing, should we then assume that English (or Christianity) is associated with terrorism?! Of course not, that would be ridiculous!!!
I can see the mass media has worked wonders on brainwashing you. I hope you can see through that, and I hope you can apologize to the thousands of readers who were offended by that comment.
Thank you for your time.

- It is comments like these that isolate nations, religions and people. Not the remarks of the article, but of the reader. Do most know Arabic is backwards (read right to left). And ALL languages are beautiful, not just a few. You are prejudicing your language against others. How about the reader apologizing to those that died because they DIDN'T understand why they were victims of some "crazy nut" ? It is the Arab-muslim world that needs to clean up its own.

Kudos to you, Declan, as well as to contributing reporters Anne Broache and Michael Kanellos on an insightful camels nose sniff under the anti-terror technologies tent. You all did a fine job of discussing and highlighting the key technical and societal issues associated with anti-terror technology.
Let me offer a couple of comments.
About 15 years ago, the Saudi monarch and ruler at that time, King Fahd, took action to spend multi-millions of Riyals [& Dollars] to have Saudi Royal International Airports upgraded with the same kinds of anti-terrorist chemical sniffing, backscatter X-ray, neutron-based baggage/cargo, video screening, detection, surveillance and monitoring equipment technologies you discussed in and have woven into your article.

- Re: I hope Americans realise
- I hope we do too. The problem is that so many people are frightened, and as such are willing to do whatever it takes to alleviate said fear. In addition to that, our shrewd as hell government knows it, and is willing to do whatever it takes to manipulate it (and they've got a practically unlimited budget!).
We need more people willing to accept the risk of living in a free society. If everybody would rather be secure, I can understand that, but security is about as far from freedom as you can get. If we are going to live in the manner in which this country was founded to provide, we have to accept that people will get hurt, people will get killed, and it is not always avoidable. Ideally, we will be able to come up with ways to minimize occurances of such terrible things without continuing to jeopardize our once unassailable beliefs.

Members of the football team take part in the 2014 Thank-A-Thon
April 15, 2014
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Over the past two weeks, Mizzou student-athletes joined the Tiger Scholarship Fund (TSF) at Mizzou Arena to call and thank the individuals who have helped make their careers at the University of Missouri a success.
Beginning on March 31 and ending on April 11, Tigers student-athletes made their way to the media room at Mizzou Arena. In a total of eight evening sessions, student-athletes took their turn making calls as part of the 2014 TSF Thank-A-Thon.
Members of all 20 Mizzou varsity athletics programs made their presence felt the past two weeks, as they thanked TSF donors one-by-one. For those student-athletes in attendance, their respective program was also rewarded with prestigious Tiger Cup Points, a program sponsored by the Total Person Program encouraging student-athlete involvement in all areas of the Mizzou collegiate experience.
Nearly 8,600 unique members make up the impressive TSF donor list. With the help of their members' donations, TSF is able to provide scholarship support for Mizzou student-athletes. All contributions given to the TSF annual fund are used to cover scholarship expenses such as tuition, room, board, academic counseling, tutors and life skills programs for Tigers student-athletes.
Throughout the eight Thank-A-Thon sessions, student-athletes called and personally spoke to the very individuals who have made their tenure at Mizzou a success. While some TSF donors were unable to speak over the phone, the group of student-athletes were sure to still thank them via a personalized post card.
Two of the endless number of Mizzou student-athletes that participated in the event included Mitch Morse of the football team and Mackenzie McGill of the gymnastics program. For both seniors, this year marked the fourth and final time that they had participated in the event.
For Morse, the ability to personally connect with the supporters of Mizzou Athletics is an unforgettable opportunity.
"It is such a good thing to come out here and thank the people who support us every year," said Morse. "You get to really connect with these individuals on a one-on-one basis over the phone. They are very generous with what they give, and it is great to hear their positive reactions from our calls."
While he may be a savvy veteran of the Thank-A-Thon process now, Morse recalled the jitters of speaking with strangers over the phone as a freshman. However, at the end of the day, he knew these same individuals are the ones who helped make his college dream come true.
"I remember `feeling the waters out' at first and you felt a little intimidated, but you soon realized that they are your friends," said Morse. "In the end, these are the people who are supporting your goals both athletically and academically."
Similar to her fellow Mizzou student-athlete, McGill has always been eager to reach out to the individuals who provide support to TSF.
"We don't always have the opportunity to meet the people who have led to our success in the classroom and on the competition floor, so it is exciting to be able to thank them and let them know that we really do appreciate their support," said McGill.
The senior gymnast also noted the joy of speaking with those TSF members that showed true interest in her career as a student-athlete at the University of Missouri.
"Sometimes you call that person who just lights up when they hear that you are a Mizzou student-athlete," said McGill. "They love to hear our success stories, and what we are planning on doing with our degree after we graduate."
At the conclusion of the event, each and every one of the nearly 8,600 TSF members were contacted by various student-athletes. Tim Stedman, Associate Athletic Director for Advancement and leader of all internal TSF efforts at Mizzou, was blown away with the magnitude of this year's Thank-A-Thon.
"It was gratifying to witness our student-athletes achieve one of our departmental core values, social responsibility, through the stewardship of those very individuals who have invested to help make their academic and athletic experience a reality," said Stedman.
"I would like to acknowledge the many individuals from the TSF team who assisted in the coordination, and especially a big thank you to our 520 student-athletes for their outstanding contribution and commitment."

Samsung Faces Lawsuit In China Over Smartphone Bloatware 81 81
An anonymous reader writes: Samsung is being sued in China for installing too many apps onto its smartphones. The Shanghai Consumer Rights Protection Commission is also suing Chinese vendor Oppo, demanding that the industry do more to rein in bloatware. The group said complaints are on the rise from smartphone users who are frustrated that these apps take up too much storage and download data without the user being aware. Out of a study of 20 smartphones, Samsung and Oppo were found to be the worst culprits. A model of Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 contained 44 pre-installed apps that could not be removed from the device, while Oppo's X9007 phone had 71.

Yet Another FAUX Nooze Push Poll: Bin Laden As A Registered Voter Edition
Just a fair and balanced survey question:
Who does Usama bin Laden want to be the next president? More people think the terrorist leader wants Obama to win (30 percent) than think he wants Clinton (22 percent) or McCain (10 percent). Another 18 percent says it doesn't matter to bin Laden and 20 percent are unsure

Proton Therapy
What is proton therapy and how is it used?
Protons are atoms that carry a positive charge. Just as x-rays (also known as photons) are used to treat both benign and malignant tumors, protons beams can be used to irradiate tumors in a similar way. There is no significant difference in the biological effects of protons versus photons (x-rays). However, protons deliver a dose of radiation in a much more confined way to the tumor tissue than photons. After they enter the body, protons release most of their energy within the tumor region and, unlike photons, deliver only a minimal dose beyond the tumor boundaries. Therefore, especially for smaller tumor sizes, the dose of radiation may conform much tighter to the tumor and there may be less damage to healthy tissue. As a result, the treating physician (a radiation oncologist) can potentially give an even greater dose to the tumor while minimizing unwanted side effects. This is especially important when treating children, because protons help reduce radiation to growing and developing tissues.
Proton therapy is being used to treat tumors in these areas of the body with encouraging early results:
- Lung - see the Lung Cancer page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=lungcancer)
- Prostate - see the Prostate Cancer page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=pros_cancer)
- Brain - see the Brain Tumors page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=thera-brain)
- Liver
- Esophagus
- Rectum
- Skull base sarcomas
- Pediatric brain tumors
- Head and neck - see the Head and Neck Cancer page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=hdneck)
- Eye melanomas
Protocols are being developed to explore the use of protons in other parts of the body.
Who will be involved in this procedure?
As with other forms of external beam therapy, proton beam therapy requires a treatment team, including a radiation oncologist, radiation physicist, dosimetrist, radiation therapist, and nurse. The radiation oncologist is a specially trained physician who evaluates the patient and determines the appropriate therapy, specific area for treatment, and radiation dose. Working together, the radiation oncologist, radiation physicist, dosimetrist and radiation therapist establish the best way to deliver the prescribed dose. Imaging exams are critical in delivering this treatment, and a diagnostic radiologist plays an important role as well. The radiation physicist and the dosimetrist make detailed treatment calculations to ensure treatment will be accurately delivered. Radiation therapists are specially trained technologists who perform the daily radiation treatments. Radiation therapy nurses are team members who tend to your day-to-day concerns and help to manage the side effects of the treatment.
What equipment is used?
Proton beam therapy uses special machines, a cyclotron and synchrotron being the most common, to generate and accelerate protons to speeds up to 60 percent the speed of light and energies of up to 250 million electron volts. These high-energy protons are steered by magnets toward the treatment room, and then to the specific part of the body being treated. In some older proton machines, additional pieces of equipment are needed to modify the range of the protons and the shape of the beam. Newer facilities make similar adjustments by fine tuning the energy of the beam and the magnetic fields which guide their path. These modifications guide the proton beam to precise locations in the body where they deliver the energy needed to destroy tumor cells.
Who operates the equipment?
With backgrounds in mechanical, electrical, software, hardware and controls, specialized operators maintain, upgrade and repair the accelerators (i.e., cyclotrons and synchrotrons) and radiation delivery system. As with other forms of external beam radiation therapy, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), specially trained radiation therapists will be present in the treatment rooms to help patients get set up for treatment, deliver the treatment, and monitor patients closely to ensure safety and comfort during the procedure. See the IMRT page for more information.
Is there any special preparation needed for the procedure?
Several preparation steps are needed before a patient begins proton therapy. The first step in treatment preparation is a procedure referred to as "simulation," in which the patient is fitted into one of any number of specialized immobilization devices to ensure an exact, highly reproducible position for each treatment. Sometimes, there is a need for placement of a metallic marker (fiducial marker) in or around the tumor to help guide the treatment. If necessary, these procedures are usually performed a few days before the simulation.
The patient immobilization device used depends upon the location of the tumor. For treatments above the neck, a custom mask can be placed around the face, or custom tray that can be temporarily attached to the teeth. For treatments below the neck, custom molds of various shapes can be positioned under or around the body. Once the immobilization device is constructed, patients undergo a computed tomography (CT) scan, which is used to create a virtual, 3-D reconstruction of the tumor and normal tissues around it. Radiation oncologists define the boundaries of the tumor and the surrounding normal structures within this virtual computerized 3-D model, and work with physicists to determine the safest and most effective radiation techniques. This CT scan is performed in exactly the same position as for treatment, so the radiation oncologist can be sure the high-precision plan designed in the computer will accurately target the tumor.
Additional exams, such as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or a PET/CT scan are often needed to help the physician accurately determine the location and extent of the tumor or critical structures.
How is the procedure performed?
Proton beam therapy is typically performed on an outpatient basis. For most tumor sites, a standard course of treatment is five to seven weeks, with treatments delivered five days per week. The length of each treatment will vary depending upon the tumor type and stage. The delivery of the proton beam to the patient lasts only a few minutes, although the total time spent in the treatment room will be longer (about 15 to 20 minutes) for positioning and adjustments to the equipment settings.
For daily treatments, the patient enters the treatment room and is fitted with his or her personal immobilization device. The patient is positioned with the aid of laser lights to within a few millimeters of the needed position, which by comparison with images obtained at the time of simulation to ensure the patient is properly aligned. In some cases, a cone beam CT system will be used to image the target before each treatment. This special alignment and imaging process is repeated before each treatment to assure the highest precision.
If special apertures and filters are needed for treatment, they are placed into position at some point during this process. A computer is typically used to scan and verify that the correct device has been loaded. Once positioning and treatment parameters are verified, the radiation oncologist and technologists step out into a control room located next to the treatment room and begin the treatment. During the treatment, these therapists continually monitor the progress of radiation delivery, including several safety parameters. Therapists also watch and listen to the patient closely, using video cameras, to ensure they remain safe and comfortable during the treatment. Once the prescribed radiation dose has been delivered, the computer shuts off the proton beam and the technologists re-enter the room to assist the patient in removing the mask or immobilization device.
What will I feel during and after the procedure?
You should not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Afterward, there may be some side effects, and they will be managed by your radiation oncologist in the same way they would be for any course of radiation. Other factors that may influence how well you feel after treatment are how big a dose you are given and whether you are also getting chemotherapy at the same time. Common side effects include temporary hair loss and skin reactions in the direct path of the radiation and fatigue, especially when a large area is being treated.
Side effects of radiation treatment include problems that occur as a result of the treatment itself as well as from radiation damage to healthy cells in the treatment area.
The number and severity of side effects you experience will depend on the type of radiation and dosage you receive and the part of your body being treated. You should talk to your doctor and nurse about any side effects you experience so they can help you manage them.
Radiation therapy can cause early and late side effects. Early side effects occur during or immediately after treatment and are typically gone within a few weeks. Common early side effects of radiation therapy include tiredness or fatigue and skin problems. Skin in the treatment area may become more sensitive, red, irritated, or swollen. Other skin changes include dryness, itching, peeling and blistering.
Depending on the area being treated, other early side effects may include:
- hair loss in the treatment area
- mouth problems and difficulty swallowing
- eating and digestion problems
- diarrhea
- nausea and vomiting
- headaches
- soreness and swelling in the treatment area
- urinary and bladder changes
Late side effects, which are rare, occur months or years following treatment and are often permanent. They include:
- brain changes
- spinal cord changes
- lung changes
- kidney changes
- colon and rectal changes
- infertility
- joint changes
- lymphedema
- mouth changes
- secondary cancer
There is a slight risk of developing cancer from radiation therapy. Following radiation treatment for cancer, you should be checked on a regular basis by your radiation oncologist for recurring and new cancers.
The slight risk of developing cancer from radiation therapy is lower for proton than conventional x-ray (photon) treatment.
Highly advanced techniques such as proton therapy allow radiation oncologists to maximize the cancer-destroying capabilities of radiation, while minimizing its side effects.

HOW did you decide to read this review? If you were holding the magazine in your hands, the decision was probably yours alone, but online, what you clicked on may have been influenced by curating bots run by the likes of Google and Facebook. In Automate This, journalist Christopher Steiner details how we have ceded decisions about stock trading, music-making, medical diagnoses and more to computer algorithms - and how they often do a better job than human professionals.
Steiner recounts how the algorithmic takeover began as long ago as the 1970s, when a computer programmer, Thomas Peterffy, wrote software to help him spot money-making trades on the New York Stock Exchange. Peterffy made printed summaries of his algorithm's output and consulted them in the hustle and bustle of the trading floor.
After a few teething troubles, Peterffy was scoring deals that left professional traders baffled. Now he is one ...

Boykin, South Carolina
South Carolina Kershaw County Boykin
Overview of BoykinEarly Boykin History
Boykin is located in Kershaw County just a few miles south of Camden. It was named for the William Boykin family who settled the town in 1755.
William's son, Burwell, came to own most of the land on the north and south sides of Swift Creek. In 1792, he dammed the creek to make a 400-acre millpond to power a grist and flour mill, as well as a sawmill. These mills provided jobs and necessary services to the thriving farm community.
Boykin & the Civil War
The Civil War officially ended with Lee's surrender on April 9, 1865, but word traveled slowly and Union general Edward Potter continued his destructive raid through South Carolina for days thereafter. On April 19, his troops engaged with Confederate regulars at Boykin's Mill. The outnumbered South Carolina troops were only able to slow the raiders by one day. Lieutenant Stevens of the 54th Massachusetts, killed in this battle, was the last known Federal officer to die in the Civil War.
Fifteen-year-old Burwell Boykin, a volunteer with the South Carolina Home Guard and a descendent of Boykin's founder, was among those who defended his home that day.
Boykin Spaniels
Another Boykin descendent gave us our state dog, the Boykin Spaniel. In the early 1900s, Whit Boykin experimented with breeding until he developed an all-purpose hunting dog small enough for boat travel who would retrieve on both land and water. Boykins are now found all over America, and like many sporting breeds make wonderful family pets.
Boykin Today
Today, Boykin is a small community in rural Kershaw County. There are a couple of restaurants and small shops gathered around the old millpond, includng the Mill Pond Steakhouse which is housed in the former mill. Swift Creek Baptist Church, established in 1787, stands proudly just a short walk away.
Camden is the largest city near Boykin. Here is a map of the Camden area.

Area Under the Curve
Harold Bettes: People like to argue over torque and horsepower, but in the process they often overlook the area under the curve. That refers to the average horsepower an engine produces throughout its operating range. Let's say one engine produces a power curve that looks like a church steeple, while another engine has a power curve shaped like the top of a balloon. Even if both engines produce the same peak power, the engine with the broader curve will be both more fun to drive and substantially faster at the track. That's because when you shift gears, the engine with the balloon-shaped torque curve will be making more horsepower. For this reason, the area under the curve, or average horsepower, is a much more effective way of gauging how well an engine will perform than peak torque or horsepower.
Scott Shafiroff: People want to see a big peak horsepower number, but average horsepower is much more important. It's not just the peak number that counts, but rather the horsepower that's produced over an engine's rpm range. Some people think that building street motors is easier than building race motors, but that's not always the case. In some ways it's harder to build a street motor since they have to operate in a broad rpm range. Whether it's a street motor or a race motor, the goal is to maximize the average horsepower output.
Low End vs. Top End
Judson Massingill: In America, we tend to look at low-rpm engine output in units of torque and high-rpm output in units of horsepower. However, the truth of the matter is that you can't separate the two since horsepower is a derivative of torque that's mathematically calculated from torque and rpm. People are familiar with the formula horsepower equals torque times rpm divided by 5,252. So if you have more torque at, say, 5,000 rpm, than the guy in the other lane, you'll have more horsepower as well. Likewise, if an engine is producing lots of torque at 3,000 rpm, it's also producing lots of horsepower at 3,000 rpm. Another way to look at it is that if you're building an engine to maximize torque output at low rpm, you're also building an engine that makes lots of horsepower at low rpm. People tend to get very passionate about the horsepower versus torque topic, and some people are torque guys while others are horsepower guys. I've been at engine conferences where people got so riled up about this debate that they had to be escorted out of the room by security. The funny thing is that they're arguing about the same thing.

My!dream dishes come true
Amy from Dillsburg, PA – Verified Buyer
I've been dreaming of new dishes for a long time, and finally decided to buy these. I got 2 different colors (lemongrass, tangerine) to brighten up my table. These dishes are sturdy, beautiful, and just the right size. They wash beautifully, look great in my cabinet, and fit perfectly in my dishwasher. Even my husband commented on how nice they are. I had read reviews from other sites about dishes being broken on arrival, but Wayfair packaged them so securely, I know I never need to worry about ordering more pieces.
Beautiful Color (peacock)
Michelle from West Memphis, AR – Verified Buyer
Just started collecting fiesta ware and my color is Peacock which is just beautiful. These plates are good quality. Delivery was fast and the packing was great. Can't wait to get every piece they make.
No Backstamp to Prove It's Fiestaware
Tammy from Florida – Verified Buyer
I have been collecting Fiestaware since 1996. All of my dishes have some sort of backstamp. I was curious as to why I could purchase 6 Sage plates for so cheap. Now I know. Each plate arrived with a retail sticker over where a backstamp should appear. Once I peeled the sticker off, it was blank. Either this is a good knock-off (the plates could pass as Fiestaware) or a defect. I have no idea. If you aren't a collector, these are a good price (not the retailer that is adding extra money for colors, that's ridiculous). If you do collect, go elsewhere as you could never prove they are true Fiestaware dishes. This is why I can only give the dishes one star. Two pictures included. Pros: Seem to be well made. Cons: Cannot prove it's Fiestaware.
Fiesta Ware Dinner Plates
Alisa from Panama City, FL – Verified Buyer
I love my Fiesta Ware that I purchased from Wayfair. It arrived sooner than I expected, and meets all my expectations. Even the availability of colors, I didn't think I could find. I also like the fact that I can order the number of pieces that I want, because I didn't want service "sets". Great selections, I am ordering the 7" plates today. Better make room in my cabinet!!
So beautiful
jennifer from Wall, NJ – Verified Buyer
I sold my Fiesta ware that I got from my wedding and regretted it! So I bought a set of four plates to add to my other plates. It lasts forever! My new set is already chipped. Never had a problem with Fiesta. The bright green is beautiful and I added black accent pieces!
I love the colors

Christopher Cameron
Velcro USA Inc.
Christopher Cameron '10 (Mathematics)
For seven months, I had the opportunity to participate in a co-op at Velcro USA Inc., immersed in the hundreds of hook and loop products. My interest in math and statistics led me to the Six Sigma Program Office, where I was able to learn and use Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. Through helping to implement their balanced scorecard infrastructure; assisting engineers with statistical data collection and analysis of processes; and designing, conducting, and analyzing a company wide survey, I was able to sharpen my interpersonal skills as well as those of flexibility, adaptation, communication, and taking initiative.
The projects and assignments permitted me to work with numerous employees, providing exposure to their roles and many different areas throughout the company, while allowing me to learn new skills, ask questions and expand my knowledge of the company. These experiences brought awareness of possible career options for myself.
I would not have had the initiative to seek a Velcro USA Inc. co-op and gain a great experience without the skills and education gained from previous work/internships and Clarkson University. It was a great step in my career development path and I would encourage anyone to seek out a co-op.

The trip was led by Paolo -- a German, notwithstanding the Italian-sounding name. Interesting guy -- he had lived as an expatriate in China for 25 years, working in Chongqing for a major European multinational. For some years, he had been leading motorcycle trips for friends and family into different parts of China. He ended up with a small fleet of Chang Jiangs garaged in Yinchuan, the staging point for trips to the Alashan.
Paolo was on the verge of retirement and was in the process of forming a motorcycle tour company he called Extreme Motorcycle Tours China. I think I was his first real customer.
He was laying plans to ride the Taklamakan in 2006 and I was set to join him. Sadly, Paolo died just months after this trip while en-route to the Alashan a final time.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- David Freese homered in his first game in a week and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Mets 3-2 Thursday. Freese had been out since March 14 with back stiffness stemming from a hard fall he took while chasing a foul ball. The 2011 World Series MVP hit a leadoff home run in the fourth and played five innings in the field. Mets infielder Justin Turner got a hit in his return from a sprained ankle. He had a pinch-hit single in the sixth, then went from first to third on hit. Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright gave up two runs on three hits, including a two-run triple by Matt den Dekker, in 4 2-3 innings. He struck out three and walked three. Mets starter Jeremy Hefner allowed two runs on five hits with three walks in five innings. Bobby Parnell pitched a perfect ninth.
