Preparing for Your F-1 Student Visa Interview
This information is for people who plan to enter the United States for the first time to study. For information on bringing dependents to the U.S., returning to continue studies, or renewing your visa, or for more details on how to apply for a student visa, refer to the U.S. Department of State.
1. Contact your local U.S. Consulate or Embassy to ask about how to get an F-1 international student visa.
2. After you receive an I-20 form from the school that you want to attend, follow the U.S. Embassy/Consulate's instructions to schedule an interview for your F-1 student visa. It is important to apply for your student visa as far in advance as possible. Many consulates recommend that appointments be made no more than 90 days from the intended date of travel, but some can make earlier arrangements for interviews.
3. Pay the visa application fee by following instructions on your local U.S. Embassy's or Consulate's web site.
4. If your I-20 was issued on or after September 1, 2004, and is marked for "initial" attendance (see #3 on your I-20 form), you will also need to pay the $200 SEVIS fee.
5. Complete the following forms:
- DS-156 Nonimmigrant Visa Application Form
- DS-158 Contact Information and Work History for Nonimmigrant Visa Applicant
- if a male between the ages of 16 and 45, DS-157 Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application
To Pay By Mail
- Get a Form I-901 "Fee Remittance for Certain F, J, and M Nonimmigrants." Download the I-901 form or
- Ask for the form by phone at 800.870.3676 (inside the United States)
- Complete the Form I-901. Be sure to write your name exactly how it appears on your I-20 form.
- Prepare a check, international money order or foreign draft (drawn on US banks only) in the amount of $200 USD, made payable to "The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
- Many foreign banks are able to issue checks or money orders drawn on a U.S. bank. You may therefore obtain a check from a bank chartered or operated in the United States, a foreign subsidiary of a U.S. bank, or a foreign bank that has an arrangement with a U.S. bank to issue a check, money order, or foreign draft that is drawn on a U.S. bank
- Mail the completed I-901 and payment to the address listed on Form I-901.
- A Form I-797 receipt confirmation letter should be mailed within 3 days of processing the fee. Be sure to make copies of this receipt letter, and keep it with your other important immigration documents.
To Pay Online
- Find the I-901 Form
- Complete the form online and supply the necessary Visa, MasterCard or American Express information. *Be sure to write your name exactly how it appears on your I-20 form.
- Print a copy of the online receipt.
- Be sure to make copies of your receipt, and keep it with your other important immigration documents
- You must bring the receipt of fee payment with you to the interview. If you have lost the receipt, the Visa Officer should be able to view your payment history in his or her database.
- If you are transferring schools, extending your program, applying for an F-2 dependent visa, or have paid this fee and been denied a visa within the last twelve months, you do not need to pay the $200 SEVIS fee.
6. Prepare and bring to your visa interview the following:
- A passport valid for at least six months
- Form I-20 (sign the form under Item 11)
- School admission letter
- Completed visa applications (DS-156, DS-158, and, if applicable, DS-157)
- Two 2"x 2" photographs in the prescribed format
- A receipt for the visa application fee
- A receipt for the SEVIS fee. If you have not received an official receipt in the mail showing payment and you paid the fee electronically, the consulate will accept the temporary receipt you printed from your computer. If you do not have a receipt, the consulate may be able to see your payment electronically if your fee payment was processed at least 3 business days before your interview.
- Financial evidence that shows you have sufficient funds to cover your tuition and living expenses during the period you intend to study.
- Any information that proves that you will return to your home country after finishing your studies in the United States. This may include proof of property, family, or other ties to your community.
7. Remain calm and answer all the Visa Officer's questions to you openly and honestly.
We would like to credit NAFSA: Association of International Educators (June 11, 2009) for its' contribution to this document.

Witnessing the role 3D road design played in breaking project log jams inspired me to embrace CSS. The Federal Highway Administration embraced CSS when they published Flexibility in Highway Design 15 years ago.
NIMBY carried over to the land development market. The Sustainable Land Development Initiative emerged when communities resisted urban sprawl, cookie cutter approaches to subdivisions. I joined SLDI about 10 years ago and was inspired by the new triple bottom line - People, Planet and Profit, philosophy to land development. Suddenly, I transformed from a transportation engineer professional to a transportation engineer tree hugger.
To understand the relationship of CSS and SLDI lets start with the following definitions:
· Profit = highway designer and constructors
· Planet = environmentalists
· People = public
Prior to the Interstate Highway System, parkways were designed in the 1930s, using a philosophy of building a highway set in a natural environment. To reduce the perceived scale of the roadway (Flexibility in Highway Design, page 17); Green space between sidewalks or non-motorized vehicle paths and the travel lanes also helps to break up the perceived width of the pavement. Readings on page 23
A successful highway design process includes the following:
· Early and continuous public involvement throughout the project
· The use of visualization techniques to aid the public
· Early and continuous use of a multidisciplinary design team
· The application of flexible and creative design criteria
Tremendous insights are available on the Context Sensitive Solutions website.
As housing markets become healthy again, the land development process could benefit from the learning journey of CSS professionals. Private sector designers and contractors can benefit from the path to progress in the transportation community.
Previous articles articulate the importance of 3D road design in visualization. Initial 3D visualizations were in some cases a manual process. 2D final plans were used as a resource to create 3D models from scratch in order to be visualized in 3D Studio MAX. Visualization professionals charged large fees to generate 3D models from 2D drawings. Many transportation agencies associated visualization with an expensive retrofit process reserved for a few critical projects.
InRoads and Modelview, Intergraph products, dramatically reduced the cost of visualization. An example of perception overruling reality was revealed in a project consisting of a major river crossing with interchanges on both banks. One of the premier users of InRoads/Modelview created engineering accurate 3D models of the project in one month as part of their oral proposal presentation. Photomontage images of proposed design views were augmented with a visualization video all produced within the one month proposal preparation. Shockingly, they did not win the project. In the debriefing, the DOT had perceived that they could not afford the cost of visualization on the project. Their experience with their 2D road design product clouded their view of the progressive proposal.
A couple years later I attended a conference where a project designed with InRoads was shown in 3D Studio MAX. Knowing that InRoads was integrated with AutoCAD, I expected that the visualization professional would be simply reading the engineering models into AutoCAD and saving them for input into 3D Studio MAX. Shockingly, I discovered that the 3D models were recreated manually from 2D drawings. My concern is that transportation agencies, who are always trying to do more with less will be overcharged for visualization deliverables.
I hope that design and construction professionals in the land development business will take advantage of the 3D pioneers experience in the transportation community. Builders have a wealth of time tested 3D tools that can lower the design cost and simultaneously improve the quality of benefits for the people and the planet. CSS is a proven building block on the pyramid of progress toward sustainability.
Context sensitive solutions (CSS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that involves all stakeholders in providing a transportation facility that fits its setting. It is an approach that leads to preserving and enhancing scenic, aesthetic, historic, community, and environmental resources, while improving or maintaining safety, mobility, and infrastructure conditions.

hey! people! you decided phantom it is a best kteator work….?heh
For me it is not the best Kreator album. Extreme or Pleasure is my favorite, Phantom is good but has a few songs i dont like (victory will come,your heaven my hell for example). Pleasure to kill is raw as fuck and extreme aggression is tight thrash straight to the point.Phantom is one of the best with Sami on guitar but Violent revolution is much better i think. Thats my thought on the album…
oh, thanks im not alone! for some reason i love cover only :)
7cove - 03 November 2013 06:08 AMoh, thanks im not alone! for some reason i love cover only :)
Are you serious? The barcode is simply a killer!
No commandments on the wall No god, no rules to scare you all
No commandments on the wall No god, no rules to scare you all
the barcode better than…......hate sami….must be replace
wow…not was serious but looking forw kreator without semi
I think Sami is great in Kreator!! Just listen to Hordes of chaos or Violent revolution…they are awesome!!
I consider it to be their best work as well as the culmination of the neoclassic period. Indeed, it's my favourite metal album of this century, (the Japanese edition that is).
(I classify Kreator's LPs as follows:
Pre-classic: Endless Pain
Classic: Pleasure to Kill, Terrible Certainty, Extreme Aggression, Coma of Souls.
Experimental: Renewal, Cause for Conflict, Outcast, Endorama
Neoclassic: Violent Revolution, Enemy of God, Hordes of Chaos, Phantom Antichrist.
The fourth album in every period is, in my view, the culmination of that era - Kreator at its apex.)
I also agree that its cover is the best of all Kreator's albums, and one of the very best metal album covers of the 21st century.
^Nicely said. I like your classification of Kreator albums. :)
Now rain shall wash away sad remains of man
Cities once so proud will crumble into sand
Buildings all collapse when all is done and said
The guilty ones will die with the innocent…

Suspension Services
We at Konflict Motorsports would like to inform you we offer Suspension Services. Alex has attended numerous seminars and clinics throughout the country trying to refine his knowledge on the physic's and understanding of what it takes to make a championship winning set-up with your suspension. Alex has been done countless hours of extensive Research and Development throughout the country finding what the perfect set-up would be.
We are in the process of manufacturing our own custom wound springs, due to finding questionable tolerances in stock available publicly. As well as having custom wound springs, we are also doing extensive research with some well known company's in the industry to manufacture our needle's, seals, shim's, and fluids.
We offer complete Suspension Services for Motocross, GNCC, Enduro, Trials, Adventure, Supermoto, Formula 450, & Desert Racing.
We offer Suspension Services for the following applications: Ktm, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Gas Gas, Husaberg, Husqvarna, BMW, and Beta.
We will be at most events this year with the Konflict Motorsports race van, please stop by and say hello.
I recently had Alex do a full service and re-spring the forks on the KTM. I asked him to remove the "3rd Bushing", which is a common thing to do on the 2004. I was being a cheap bastard, and waved off his suggestions to do valve work. He said my oil was the worst he'd seen, and there was scoring on the bore, which he polished out. My bad!! I guess 4 years is too long!
I did the Black Bear Enduro in Tahuya in June. The forks were much improved in the fast stuff, but they were really jarring me, in the slower roots and rocks. After 50+ miles I was significantly more fatigued than usual.
Alex, (like a doctor making house calls) called me on my way home, to see how the suspension was. We talked and discussed options. For a VERY reasonable fee, he offered to pick up the forks again, and work his magic on the valves. I had a vacation coming up, and told him he had lots of time.
Well Saturday I did a 115 mile DS ride from Enumclaw, to Lk Cle Elum, which had everything from high speeds on Hwy 410, to gravel on FS70, roots and rocks, and tight switch backs going over Windy Ridge. The forks are stellar! I can't think of a better feeling bike, well maybe Gabriele's 570, that Alex worked on, but that thing has a little more mass than my 200. ;-)
Only problem is, it really highlighted how sacked out the rear is…
Thanks Alex!
memento gaudere semper
Btw, just had the suspension serviced and re-sprung from Alex, and it truly changed the bike for me. Among the many benefits, nearly no arm pump!! Thanks Alex!!
Highly recommeded.

The Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a marsupial found in southern and eastern Australia, with a population of several million. It is also known as the Great Grey Kangaroo and the Forester Kangaroo. Although a big Eastern Grey male typically weighs around 66 kg (145 lb.) and stands almost 2 m (6 ft.) tall, the scientific name, Macropus giganteus (gigantic large-foot), is misleading, as the Red Kangaroo of the semi-arid inland is larger.
In more remote areas, the Eastern Grey occurs in great numbers, and if left unchecked reaches plague proportions. From time to time shooters are employed to reduce its numbers, almost always to the accompaniment of a public outcry. Given the very limited amount of fodder in dry years, however, the only other choice is starvation.
While the Eastern Grey remains common, there are vast areas of country from which it has been exterminated (in general, it avoids humans), and most of the more fertile districts now carry crops or exotic pasture grasses which kangaroos tend not to eat. (One of the easiest ways to find kangaroos is to look for patches of remnant native grassland.)

Republicans And Democrats Differ On Evolution

19 Aug
The GOP candidates' views on evolution are troubling, but not surprising. Here's Gallup's latest poll on Republicans, Democrats, and Independents more broadly:
A point should be made that the GOP responses are not a result or "stupidity" or a lack of education, but rather cultural choices. That choice is that they have chosen that their devotion to their faith and the exact written word of their religion trumps any intellectual challenge they face.
I only say this because many look at these studies with the attitude of "What the F&$k is wrong with these idiots?!" That's the wrong question, because nothing is wrong with them, other than the fact that our culture has made them feel that the aspects of their identity most critical to their self-worth (like religion) are somehow incompatible with science.
Yes, whether or not someone believes in evolution is not reflective of his or her intelligence. However, when it comes to decision-making, the value placed on science and education matters tremendously for all of us.
The differences aren't even that great.
Only 17% of Dems and 19% of Indeps think that God had nothing to do with it. Yes, it's much more than 4%, but not a huge number.
I completely disagree with your tolerance of those who would choose faith over facts. Being ignorant is not stupid. But once having been exposed to information, if one choses to ignore the facts, or lacks critical thinking skills to process mythology v. science, then that one is stupid. This is one of the most frightening polls I've ever seen. By the way, somewhat apropos of this subject, my mother became a Presbyterian minister at age 65 and never had any trouble reconciling her faith in a loving God and evolution.
Well, you're entitled to that opinion, and it's a common one among scientists. I disagree, however, that cognitive dissonance makes someone stupid. The climate debate has proven beyond a doubt that very intelligent people can simply refuse to accept knowledge. That may be ignorant, but it is not "stupid". They are actually butressed by their education and intelligence to be even more firm in their beliefs.
Maybe we'd be better off trying to get those in the right column into the left instead of demanding that the whole world go into the middle and getting nowhere?
I agree with Joe. Even people who are aware of their own cognitive dissonance can choose to ignore "factual" information for social (fitting in with the community) or emotional (faith-based hope/optimism) reasons.
I also think there are biases in the information one chooses to believe as factual, depending on source, message, and one's own preference for different levels of cognitive dissonance.
Zero tolerance. You may shift the debate from stupid to evil, but anyone who chooses conformity or emotional candy over truth is one or the other.
Most Physical Geologists when asked will honestly tell you that there is no proof of Macro Evolution as it cannot be replicated in the lab, nor are there any witnesses, so that is why it remains a theory. Famed Anthropologist Margaret Mead went further stating there is still "not one iota" of physical evidence for evolution. Still some, I would rather say ininformed, people speak of it as science. Micro Evolution is science as it can be replicated and witnessed. The arguement should be whether "theories" should be taught in public school. Personally, I think there are more important issues for science to spend their time and efforts on.
[...] Culture of Science there's a little discussion about whether acceptance of evolution indicates intelligence. [...]

Sony's DSC-T200 and DSC-T70 Cameras Know When You're
Is that a smile or are you in pain?
Cyber-shot DSC-H3 A day after Canon came out with their new models of digital cameras, including the
Sony professional EOS 1Ds Mark III and the advanced EOS 40D, Sony announces three new
Cyber-shot compacts.Let's start with the long-zoom model. The new Cyber-shot DSC-H3
boasts a 10x optical zoom lens that benefits from the Super Steady Shot technology
compensating for unwanted camera motion. Unfortunately, despite being manufactured by
Carl Zeiss, the lens itself is not something to brag about. The main problems lies in the
maximum aperture performance. At the wide angle, the 6.3-63mm (with a picture angle
equivalent to that of a 38-380mm lens mounted on a 35mm camera) lens can't open the
aperture more than f/3.5 and at the tele end it stops at f/4.4. In terms of ISO sensitivity, the
H3 can go between 100 and 3000, but keep in mind that small sensors, like the 1/2.5-inch
one found in this Sony, generate a lot of noise when used over ISO 400 or even ISO 200.
Speaking of image quality, the good news is that the camera benefits from the Dynamic
Range Optimizer, which was originally developed for the Alpha digital SLR system. As the
press release informs, this technology "can analyze captured image data, and instantly
determine the best exposure and tonality of each picture before JPEG compression".And
since face detection is so hip nowadays, Sony's H3 can also recognize faces and adjust
exposure and focus for best results. If the 2.5-inch LCD fitted on the H3 is not to your liking
you can always connect the camera to a HDTV set with Sony's VMC-MHC1 high-definition
component cable (sold separately for around $40). Note however that the high-definition TV
set will make the noise extremely visible, so be careful with the ISO sensitivity. Overall, the
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H3, priced at around $300, is not a "wow" camera, but it's not bad
either, especially since long-zoom cameras are very similar nowadays. The second model
on Sony's announcement list is the stylish DSC-T200, which offers an 8-megapixel sensor,
a huge 3.5-inch touch-screen LCD and 5x optical zoom lens. This model will be available in
silver, black and red.The third is the DSC-T70, with a 3-inch wide LCD touch panel and 3x
Carl Zeiss optical zoom lens. It will be offered in silver, black, white and pink.Aside from the
usual Sony features, like the aforementioned image stabilization and "Photo TV HD" mode
for viewing the images on your high-definition TV set, both models have a new baffling
feature, smile detection. I have no idea how the two cameras identify a smile, and Sony only
says that "With the cameras' new "smile shutter" function, which automatically detects and
captures a person smiling, you'll never miss a smile due to shutter lag or distractions. The
function is turned on or off by pressing the shutter while in smile shutter scene mode". I
want to know how they can tell between a smile or a facial expression of pain. The
Cyber-shot DSC-T200 and DSC-T70 digital cameras will ship in September for about $400
and $300, respectively.We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out
there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to
help us a little in finding gadgets we missed. Interesting links are bound to be posted with

"The new name sums up our goal perfectly -- taking your best memories of the 16-bit era, and making new experiences that look as good and play as well as you remember," Kazdal says.
You'll get to see the studio's snazzy -- make that SNES-y -- badge tattooed on the Skulls of the Shogun, which launches on Xbox Live Arcade, Windows Phone and Windows 8 just as Microsoft pushes out its new OS (currently speculated to happen in October). The 17-BIT art itself came about with the aid of Cory Schmitz, who is quickly becoming the Nolan North of nifty logos.
Seattle, WA, May 3rd, 2012 -- Seattle game developer Haunted Temple Studios announced today that it will change its name to 17-BIT, ahead of the release of its upcoming action-strategy title SKULLS OF THE SHOGUN. The 17-BIT name represents the studio's commitment to preserving classic gameplay ideals, using modern technology to innovate upon and super-charge them for the modern age.
"It's 16-bit, plus a bit more," says Jake Kazdal, studio CEO and Creative Director. "When we test-drove the 17-BIT name and logo at PAX East, people instantly got it. It reached the point where people kept stopping us on the show floor and asking where they could get our t-shirts. The new name sums up our goal perfectly -- taking your best memories of the 16-bit era, and making new experiences that look as good and play as well as you remember."
The first 17-BIT game will be the highly anticipated SKULLS OF THE SHOGUN, a lightning-fast turn-based action-strategy game that lets players control armies of skeletal samurai in the Land of the Dead. With stylized graphics and tongue planted firmly in cheek, Skulls of the Shogun will be available on three platforms on the release date of Microsoft Windows 8: Windows 8, Xbox LIVE Arcade, and Windows Phone.
About SKULLS OF THE SHOGUN™
SKULLS OF THE SHOGUN is an invigorating cocktail of 1960's-flavored sorcery and strategy. Washing up on the shores of the afterlife, players meet and join forces with vibrant ghost-samurai warriors, magical animal-monks, and mustachioed samurai generals on the way to capture the Skulls of the Shogun. With its roots in classic turn-based strategy gaming, Skulls of the Shogun retains depth and adds a smooth, simple interface that makes it accessible and enjoyable even to players new to the genre. Players immerse themselves in battle with fun and unique gameplay features amidst lush, eerie environments. Also featuring 4-player local and networked multiplayer and an original score inspired by classic samurai films and dub, Skulls of the Shogun offers simple-yet-deep, refined and offbeat gameplay. In collaboration with Buffalo Vision and Plush Apocalypse, 17-BIT will release Skulls of the Shogun to Windows 8, Windows Phone, and Xbox Live Arcade.
About 17-BIT (formerly Haunted Temple Studios, Inc)
17-BIT is a boutique independent video game developer specializing in revitalizing classic genres with cutting-edge gaming experiences. Founded in 2009 by game industry veteran Jake Kazdal, 17-BIT aims to deliver iconoclastic games that challenge the expectations of 2D gaming. Including his years at Sega in Tokyo and Electronic Arts in Los Angeles, Kazdal brings decades of experience to the company's offices in downtown Seattle. With bold, eye-catching art and broad audience appeal, 17-BIT creates fresh game experiences that hearken back to the 16-bit era of consoles, but with the power and high definition of modern hardware.

Channing Tatum Talks 'G.I. Joe' Sequel At The '2012 MTV Movie Awards'
PLUS! He Dishes On His "Terrifying" Movie Co-Star...
Here at MTV, we can't get enough of Channing Tatum – and from the sounds of things we could be seeing even more of him in his new flick 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.'
According to Deadline, the release of the hotly-anticipated 'G.I. Joe' sequel has been delayed in order for movie bosses to re-shoot MORE scenes with the hunky actor!
Addressing reports about returning on set for the flick, which has reportedly been pushed back from June 29 this year to March 2013, the superstar told MTV News at the the '2012 MTV Movie Awards.'
"I don't know. Truly.
"I haven't seen the movie. I did my part and then all this stuff is going on, so they haven't come to talk to me about anything. They talk about a lot of stuff; who knows if it's the industry or the actual studio? You never know."
Meanwhile, the actor has also spilled the beans on working with his new co-star Rooney Mara in the upcoming release 'The Bitter Pill.'
Channing, who plays the Oscar-nominated brunette's on-screen hubby, told E!
"She's the most mousy and terrifying person I've ever met. She's such a little introvert."
"She's also the sweetest little thing you've ever met."

Mark Harmon
When America's favorite TV star isn't playing Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS, he's recharging in the saddle on a Montana ranch.
More than 18 million viewers tuned in to watch the dramatic season eight finale of NCIS, in which Mark Harmon — as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs — finally tracks down and dispatches the elusive Port-to-Port Killer. Now, with the "Pyramid" story arc concluded, the series is set to begin its ninth season in late September, once again helmed by Harmon's Gibbs — ever the organized, disciplined, and demanding team leader of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and one of television's highest-rated shows.
It's not just the show — which was voted America's favorite in 2011 — that's so popular. According to a recent Harris Poll, the Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Harmon has overtaken Oprah Winfrey as America's favorite television personality. Starring as the no-nonsense, head-slapping, and sometimes twinkle-eyed Gibbs, Harmon shines in front of the camera; behind it, he's been one of the show's producers since 2008. His all-around efforts have helped earn the show a legion of fans and top ratings, showcasing a lifetime of acting, athletic, and wrangling abilities.
But with all the effort involved in the show's demanding 9-month, 12- to 15-hour-a-day production, time away from shooting in Los Angeles is rare and critical. Harmon finds welcome respite in the ranchlands and mountains of Montana, where he makes an annual pilgrimage to free both soul and psyche. During NCIS' two-month spring hiatus, he literally heads for the hills to a cattle station with his wife of almost 25 years, Pam Dawber (who won over America in the late '70s and early '80s playing Mindy to Robin Williams' Mork on the sitcom Mork & Mindy), and their two sons to ride, herd, and generally recharge.
This past spring was no exception, but it took some additional juggling as the busy actor added yet another high-profile project to his very full plate: teaming up with the USA Network for a two-hour telepic based on John Sandford's best-selling novel Certain Prey. Harmon signed on to play the book's compelling antihero, Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport.
Certain Prey has Harmon facing off against a hit woman and killer determined to hunt him down. "Mark Harmon could read the phone book and we'd probably want to put it on the air," says Jeff Wachtel, president of USA original programming. The network has rights to all 21 titles in Sandford's wildly popular Prey series. So if the movie does as well for USA as Wachtel's faith in Harmon would suggest, it might be a TV-movie franchise in the making.
Turning 60 this September, Harmon, it seems, is picking up the pace. Slacking off just isn't in this guy's repertoire.
As unassuming as the guy is, in some ways the hardworking Harmon seemed destined for stardom. Born in Burbank, California, in 1951, he grew up in Los Angeles the son of Heisman Trophy winner Tom Harmon and an avid athlete in his own right. At UCLA, where the California native graduated cum laude with a degree in communications, he was more football star than aspiring actor. He quarterbacked for the UCLA Bruins and was named a national scholar-athlete by the National Football Foundation in 1973. It wasn't till he dabbled in acting his senior year that Harmon found his calling. (He eventually admitted that in retrospect he knew he wanted to be an actor since the age of 6: "I subconsciously began to realize that I wanted to entertain people.")
He soon began landing small roles in episodic television and TV movies, receiving his first Emmy nomination in 1977 for the small-screen Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years, in which he briefly but movingly played a soldier who has lost a leg in the war. Over the next 25 years, he would garner an-other Emmy nomination as well as four Golden Globe nominations, one for his chilling perform-ance as serial killer Ted Bundy in The Deliberate Stranger. Other standout movie roles include The Presidio opposite Sean Connery, the remake of Freaky Friday opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, and Carl Reiner's smash hit Summer School.
As well as his big-screen roles were received, Harmon proved naturally at home on TV, where his good looks, football hero charm, and acting chops won him long-running roles on the series St. Elsewhere, Chicago Hope, and Reasonable Doubts. Even before he became a staple on nighttime serial TV, his brainy, brawny charm had earned him idol status: In 1986, he was People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, a distinction Harmon regards with typical self-deprecation: "If other people think I'm okay-looking, that's great, but I don't see it myself," he was quoted. "When I look in the mirror all I see is a bunch of fake teeth and football scars." If People's sexy nod suggested Harmon was on the market, it wasn't for long: He and Dawber, then starring in My Sister Sam, married in 1987.
The secret to Harmon's longevity on-screen and in marriage could be his fundamental belief in the power of teamwork and collaboration — a skill that he honed quarterbacking and that he now brings to the set. It doesn't hurt his day job, either, that after years of working cattle for several weeks every spring, he's also honed his wrangling skills.
He's a guy who likes a challenge — and who doesn't brook boredom. "I'm in the business to push it," he has said. "I'm not likely to be attracted to characters I've already done. I have to be almost frightened by the possibility of taking it on." He admits to enjoying walking that edge — it's why he likes what he does for a living. "The only other job I've ever had that provides that time in the morning where you're going to work and you can't wait to get there, and the sun's rising and you're moving toward something you look forward to getting up and doing every day, was being a carpenter."
This is also a guy who likes building and renovating things — all kinds of things. That might be anything from his first car — a 1928 Model A Ford he bought with his own money when he was 13, rebuilt over the next year and a half, then drove without a license — to the 1972 24-foot Airstream trailer he got off a horse ranch in Arizona, restored, and now keeps as his on-set dressing room.
The carpentry tools on NCIS? They belong to Harmon. And Agent Gibbs' boat renovation? An undertaking after Harmon's own heart. Starting out as an actor, he worked as a roofer and framer to make money, and he still loves carpentry. "What I really enjoyed was finish work. I like the longevity of it. If you do it right, it will be around a lot longer than you are." It's an approach that seems to apply to Harmon's acting roles — he's building stuff to last.

What lessons were learned from TRMM with respect to operational uses of the data, and how can these lessons enhance the use of GPM mission data and other National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research mission data in NOAA operational forecasts?
What are the best uses for GPM data in an operational environment such as in NOAA?
How can NOAA ensure that its operational forecast models, forecasters, and product users are ready for GPM data as soon as possible after launch?
The GPM mission is a cooperative effort of NASA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), NOAA, and other U.S. and international agencies and institutions.2 The mission includes a core satellite that makes measurements between 65 degrees latitude North and South and carries a dual-frequency precipitation radar and a passive microwave sensor. The data from this satellite are to be intercalibrated with those from a constellation of other satellites carrying similar microwave sensors to provide global estimates of precipitation approximately every 3 hours. NASA conceives the GPM mission as a prototype for the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)—an international initiative for integrating data from numerous Earth-observing systems with similarities to the international and collaborative efforts of the GPM mission.
The GPM mission time line can be separated into three phases: the pre-launch phase runs from present to the launch date for the GPM core satellite (scheduled for 2013); the post-launch phase runs until NOAA potentially takes over operation of the core satellite from NASA (proposed for 5 years after launch, in approximately 2018); and the potential NOAA takeover phase then runs until the instruments fail on the core satellite or until fuel is depleted. NOAA has already indicated interest in the concept of this third phase, as well as the possibility of an operational GPM follow-on mission that overlaps with the GPM mission. As of the publication of this report, the design specifications could change to allow more fuel to be carried on the core satellite for the possibility of a longer mission.
Some of the constellation satellites will be launched prior to the GPM core satellite (Figure S.1), and some also will overlap with missions that form the present constellation of passive microwave sensors. The present-day, de facto passive microwave constellation represents a "golden era" of microwave precipitation sensing because the number of constellation satellites is likely to be small-

Care Point is the NZNO campaign to ensure DHBs use the Care Capacity Demand Management (CCDM) Programme to match staff capacity to patient demand and improve care for patients.
Care Point was chosen to show how the elements of the programme – caring for patients, caring for employees, taking care for the way resources are used, and creating a clear care plan – work together to improve care.
The CCDM programme is a joint partnership between Unions, DHBs and the Safe Staffing Healthy Workplaces Unit.
The Safe Staffing Healthy Workplaces Unit was set up in 2007 to develop a programme to ensure the recommendations from the 2006 Committee of Inquiry on Safe Staffing Healthy Workplaces were met.
The programme developed is called Care Capacity Demand Management. This involves matching patient demand with staff capacity to ensure the right number and skill mix of staff are available to meet the needs of patients.

I just wanted to share my story of success with you. My daughter, Gracie, is 3 1/4 yrs old. She also suffers with Appraxia of speech. We "introduced her to potty training this past summer while I was in my last tri-mester of pregnancy of our second child. Unfortunately, I went into labor a month early and potty training got put on the back burner. We recently started back up and she was doing "pretty" good but it was taking soooo long. With 2 kids in diapers we were losing our patience. Then, we came across your 3day potty training method and decided to give it a shot. Let me be clear. This was the longest weekend of my entire life as I like to get out and have fun with my family on the weekend and we were trapped indoors. (Not to mention, it turned out to be a great weather weekend, too) Plus, while stuck indoors I was either following a very busy 3yr. old around or cleaning pee from the carpet. But lo and behold, Gracie went to school on day 4 (today) and came home dry!!!!!!! I feel like I won the lottery! This by far has been the greatest accomplishment of my parental life. My only regret is that I wasted so much time (and money) on other ineffective methods. Now I can not wait until my youngest son turns 22months and we can do this all over again and be done with diapers FOREVER!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your potty wisdom with the rest of us!

Temple Relief of King as Child Protected by Goddess
The ancient Egyptians often thought of transitions from one state to another in terms of birth. Thus, kings were shown as children (or even as adults) protected and nursed by goddesses in a variety of scenes, including ones representing or symbolizing their alleged divine births, their coronations, renewals of their royal and divine power, and their rebirth after death.

Comment and Suggestion
Art works made in Hong Kong proclaim local culture
Works of seven local artists, which present Hong Kong in a variety of dimensions and serve as visual evidence of the territory's unique and charismatic culture, will be featured at the Hong Kong Museum of Art from tomorrow (December 21) to April 6, 2008.
The exhibition, "Made in Hong Kong - Contemporary Art Exhibition", displays works by seven artists - Chow Chun-fai, Chu Hing-wah, Kevin Fung, Frog King (Kwok Mang-ho), Kum Chi-keung, Wan Qingli and Vincent Yu, who come from different backgrounds and represent the diversity of artistic talent and creativity that Hong Kong nurtures and attracts. Their works bear the distinctive marks of the territory's temporal and spatial character.
Chow Chun-fai is a thinker who approaches art with questions. He revisits the "classical canons" - from iconic historical paintings and popular movies to government propaganda to search for the collective ideologies embedded in people's sub-consciousness. In appropriating visual idioms with his simulated images, he challenges habitual or fixed perceptions, manipulates and reconstructs them. To him, every re-interpretation is a creation in its own right.
Painting for Chu Hing-wah is always personal. During his 28 years of nursing mentally ill patients, he acquired exceptional sensibility. The scenes and figures of his paintings are always charged with emotional power. He likes to use modulated, rhythmic ink washes to produce a psychic space of relaxed harmony and awesome stillness. His sensuous and expressive brushstrokes create textures for the subjective emotions of those disturbed souls and their psychological complexity. In the hustle and bustle of the city, everyone could have a psychic maniac in his inner self. Far from being abnormal, Chu has given form to the darkness that is perhaps inherent in all of us.
Kevin Fung likes sculpting with wood for it is his way to reconnect with nature in a high-tech world. His subjects are what he sees daily - his living environment, his own existence and that of his fellow men. The cluster of wood logs in his works reminds one of the concrete jungle cityscape. Figures appearing in groups represent city dwellers, faceless creature with a ghostly existence. Their body language is suggestive of their retreat and melancholic mood, expressing scarcely any interest in or interaction with their surroundings.
Kum Chi-keung likes to overtake space, hence his love for installation. His work revolves around the negotiation of boundaries, spatial invasion and navigation, envisioning the artist's free spirit regardless of his physical confinement. Visual associations of contradictory images like the cage and the flying bird often appear in his installations. They represent an innate dilemma of a city dweller whose highly compressed life in a jam-packed city erases any space for dreams. In altering the spatial constructs of a given site, Kum redefines the spatial character of the city to his own taste and reinforces the possibility of taking flight.
Frog King is an artist who believes nothing is impossible. He is the first happening-performance artist in Hong Kong who is famous for his prodigal style. Throughout the years, he has strived for total human expression in free form. He invented his own brand "frog-fun-lum" art. It is a kind of art in "-ing" form that criss-crosses different media as well as temporal and spatial dimensions. It is a seemingly chaotic abundance that characterises Hong Kong.
Wan Qingli is regarded by some as "the literati painter in the concrete jungle". Ever since he came to Hong Kong in 1989, he has taken the dual perspective of an inside-outsider in observing the city. He continues to work in the traditional manner of a scholar painting his interpretation of life in the 21st century. Yet he incorporates Cantonese slang with formal Chinese and mixes contemporary imagery with traditional motifs in his depictions, expressing an ironic humour that is always mingled with sadness and empathy.
Vincent Yu is a photo-journalist. He works and creates with his camera. Unlike the emotion-seeking and deceptive manner of the paparazzi, Yu opts for straight photography. He makes photos without the least intention to interfere or to make judgements. Pictures are self-evident as he often keeps his own emotion and subjectivity in check. Yu said he wanted to make an objective record of Hong Kong, to document not only the human conditions and the history of the city but also to capture the fading collective memories and vanishing spirit of its time.
To tiein with the exhibition, a series of lectures, including "Sculpture, Architecture and Environment" by Dennis Oppenheim, "Why Bother with Museum? - From Visual Representation to Community Building" by Howard Chan, and "Hong Kong City and Comics" by Craig Au-yeung, will be held on January 8, 19 and March 8, 2008, respectively. The lecture given by Dennis Oppenheim will be conducted in English and the others will be in Cantonese. Details are available on the museum's website. During the exhibition period, a creative art project "Made in Hong Kong - Made by Hong Kong" will be held to display 10 groups of art works by tertiary, secondary, primary and kindergarten students in rotation on the outer walls of the museum.
The Museum of Art is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It opens from 10am to 6pm from Sunday to Wednesday and Fridays, and from 10am to 8pm on Saturdays. The museum will close at 5pm on Christmas Eve and Chinese New Year's Eve. It is closed on Thursdays (except public holidays) and the first two days of Chinese New Year. Admission is $10 and a half-price concession is available to full-time students, senior citizens and people with disabilities. Admission is free on Wednesdays.
For enquiries, call 2721 0116 or visit the Museum of Art's website at

If you've ever wondered where Beyoncé and Solange get their dance moves, it's clearly genetic. Last night at Coachella, the Knowles sisters broke it down in a choreographed number during Solange's finale "Losing You." Rumors swirling all day that Queen B was on the grounds came to fruition when she surprisingly ran onto stage during her little sister's set and started dancing. Sadly the pair didn't do a duet -- maybe they're saving that for next weekend?
