A favourite pastime of ours while we were on holiday in Spain was to gaze at the night sky. There were no city lights nearby, no clouds and no moon to illuminate the sky. This meant that satellites roaming the night sky were a very common sight. However, occasionally a satellite would illuminate brightly and then fade. What caused this?
• Your previous correspondent, Barry Hahn, writes that he would like to simultaneously hear from and visually observe an artificial satellite. This is certainly possible if you catch the correct pass of the International Space Station and listen on its VHF amateur radio downlink frequency (see websites below).
In 1991 I organised an amateur radio link between British astronaut Helen Sharman's Juno mission on the Mir space station and a number of British schools. A week before the contact in May I made a test transmission to cosmonaut Musa ...

All CU-Boulder students set goals for themselves, like studying abroad, gaining research experience or landing the right internship. For Matthew Cirac, a 23-year-old graduating senior, the main goal he sought to accomplish was to finish school – after fighting stage IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer his junior year.
University of Colorado Boulder graduate student Emi Tokuda is trying to find effective ways to battle melanoma, a notoriously drug-resistant disease that is responsible for 75 percent of all skin cancer-related deaths. She is the subject of one of a slew of videos recently produced for LabTV, and filmed by Emilie Johnson, a graduate student in journalism at CU-Boulder. The video was recently named a Finalist Award Winner by LabTV at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Layne Jackson Hubbard, a CU-Boulder senior studying computer science and neuroscience, has a passion for solving problems and helping people -- not just individuals, but entire populations of people.
In light of two federal announcements this week involving Title IX and sexual assault issues on U.S. college campuses, I want to update you on what CU-Boulder is doing to make progress on Title IX issues and why we want to be a leader among the nation's universities in creating a safe learning environment for women.
Last fall, The Board of Regents asked each University of Colorado campus to develop a process for prioritizing its academic and administrative areas. Since that time, the University of Colorado Boulder has been working in earnest to engage students, faculty and staff in a process of objective and evidence-based decision making. This initiative, while challenging in many ways, is a real opportunity for CU-Boulder to further develop quantitative data to inform our decisions and help us better serve our students and the state of Colorado. We wanted to share our thoughts with you about this process and our next steps.
The University of Colorado Boulder will hold its spring commencement ceremony on Friday, May 9, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Folsom Field.
Four CU-Boulder students have been awarded U.S. Department of State Critical Languages Scholarships. The CLS program supports intensive study in important languages for international work and relations including Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla/Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish and Urdu.
Professor Kris Gutiérrez has a rule about her after-school program at Alicia Sanchez Elementary School in Lafayette: "If you're not having fun, something is going wrong."
Rounding out a full day of touring CU-Boulder facilities and meeting with faculty, staff and students, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden spoke to a packed house on the afternoon of April 18, 2014.
Bolden acknowledged the close association CU-Boulder has with the space program, calling the university a "pipeline for talent."
Schedule your appointment to donate blood on the CU-Boulder campus, April 21 - 24, UMC rooms 415-417. 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every day. Walk-ins are always welcome. Schedule online using site code 0248: visit www.bonfils.org. Schedule by phone by calling the Bonfils Appointment Center at 303-363-2300, and use site code 0248.

INDYCAR boss Mark Miles said Wednesday the "compelling" and "at times hard to watch" record-setting pack racing that unfolded during Saturday's MAVTV 500 at Auto Club Speedway largely was the result of aerodynamic happenstance.
"Clearly different tracks present different styles and getting the best setup is not an exact science," Miles, CEO of Hulman & Co., the parent of INDYCAR and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, said during a national teleconference. "Our folks believe that there are two primary reasons that the racing was so tight. One was that we probably did go a step too far with the downforce that we allowed or provided for in the aero spec; the other was that it ended up being a much cooler race than expected and obviously temperature has something to do with it."

Always best to start a new year with a pleasant surprise. In this New Years video by Swiss animators Zita Bernet and Rafael Sommerhalder from the studio Crictor, my first thought was, "are they really going to drop dozens of eggs on their studio floor?" What a messy start to the year!
As it turns out, they aren't eggs and when they bounce it's not with the random motion of physics, but something emergent, with a sense of human design. It's a nice metaphor for how technology uses the processes of nature for (mostly) preordained outcomes. Happy emergent new year!

WILSON — The Board and Management of Cornerstone Bank have announced eleven staff members receiving promotions and titles that makes them officers of the Bank.
"These promotions are overdue and much deserved by some of our long-term employees who have shown exceptional loyalty, provided leadership to the staff and exhibited outstanding service to our customers," Cornerstone president Norm Osborn said. "We are very much aware of how they strengthen our bank, which in turn strengthens our community. These are people of high character and represent our bank in many ways within the community."
Named Senior Vice President is David Wilson, who is the Bank's senior credit risk manager. He has been at Cornerstone for eight years, but has 30 years of banking experience with a blend of retail banking and business loan management. He currently manages the Bank's loan underwriting area.
Six employees were elevated to Vice President positions. That includes Cheryl Parker, who manages the branch operations and security, Duran Broadhurst, Jeff Hamilton, Sara Hudgins and Jim McGee, who are lending officers, and Michelle Joyner, who is the Bank's audit and compliance officer. Parker has been with the Bank for 10 years, and manages branch operations, security, facilities, and the 2nd 50 Club. Both Broadhurst — a Wilson-based banking leader —and McGee bring more than 30 years banking experience each. Hamilton has been with Cornerstone for seven years and serves business and personal lending. Hudgins has been with Cornerstone for nine years and is a Certified Mortgage Planner; she also originates retail and construction loans. Joyner has been with Cornerstone for 12 years and has served as assistant controller,internal audit manager and compliance officer.
Additionally, three assistant vice presidents were named: Carla Harvey, Tracy Bunn, and Denise Winstead. Harvey is a customer service officer and one of the most visible faces inside the Bank. She has nine years of experience with Cornerstone, and is frequently cited for service above and beyond routine customer service and assistance. Bunn is a deposit and loan operations assistant, and has nine years experience with Cornerstone. She also has served as a customer service representative and is extremely knowledgeable about various areas of the Bank. Winstead is a business services assistant and team leader, and has served the Bank for eight years. She also has been a business and retail loan processor, and she is detailed in reviewing loans.
"These employees have shown leadership through many years of service to the Bank," Osborn added. "Their performance is visible inside and outside the bank, and they show remarkable teamwork in complimenting one another."
Parker sums up the sentiments of many: "I have accepted every responsibility that the Bank has given me and I try to do the best job that I can."
Cornerstone Bank opened in March 2000, and operates a Main Office on Nash Street.

8 Responses to "Let's Go Hating On Social Media Expert Douchebags"
Hi Ruud,
I remember when Desktop Publishing first hit. It was a lot of fun and pretty easy to do and everyone wanted to do it. Out of nowhere, consultants, experts, and gurus poured out of the woodwork like they were fleeing a bug bomb.
I recently visited the site of a self-proclaimed Social Media Expert. Their Alexa was 1.6 Million (won't argue Alexa here), their last Post was 3 months prior, and they only had one or two Comments. Seems to me they should have a lot more Socializing going on there, but maybe that's just my own naiveté.
This kind of thing is also fun and easy, yet there is still so much to learn because the subject itself is People! It's not the technology as much as the psychology and demographics–at least they way I see it.
Any media platform must be used to approach People in the manner that want and expect that Platform to be utilized. Stepping outside the box is OK, to a point, but creative can become obnoxious with very little effort.
.-= Rick LaPoint recently posted: The Logic of Emotional Motivators =-.
I get suspicious of anyone that calls themselves an expert that have a series of letters after their name like MD, JD, – heck I'd settle for a So and So III but experts come and go. Social Media like SEO is just a form of marketing – any decent marketer should have a handle on these disciplines and the tools associated with them. Any decent marketer should be agile enough to grow with technologies and know how and when to hire the right people to get the job done. I personally, would not consider my self an expert in anything – it kind of says you have stopped learning and I don't think marketing is something you can stop learning about. I'm never impressed with people who feel the need to label themselves rockstars, gurus, ninjas, or jedis at some task within an overall discipline. Demonstrable knowledge is always more powerful than crafty wordsmithing. There's a lot of twucked up twit in social media – but there is a lot of great things that come from it and the discerning eye can weed out the douchebag from the certified expert pretty quickly!
.-= Mary McKnight recently posted: How to Tell Which Celebrities Sell Brands Best =-.
I had fun reading the original and Tweeting about it. I mean scheduling the tweet about it. The tweets feed the Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn profiles and it all mostly works together with SEO as a profession. We've seen all this before. Blogs are just guestbooks with articles instead of a lonely "Sign our guestbook page!"
Social Media douchbags are the ones who spend time writing books about the site features and promoting their personal brand but pivoting the topic to generic company brand to "speak to" those who would buy the book for their marketing bookshelf. I haven't seen much new in years but a lot of attention paid to the latest kid on the block. Facebook beats Google in traffic now, and it ripped off LinkedIn.
What the Social Media douchbags have correct is that popularity, not brilliance, is everything these days.
Mr. Hein, this article is SO on-point. Interestingly enough, I've been on a bit of a rant about similar issues. It's amazing the silly stuff our fellows do in their crazy competitive ways.
One of the problems I see is how people treat online marketing. Niches work but not for the reasons most think. Like you said, it's easy to target a marketplace in it's infancy because you can claim some "pioneer credit" but that does not mean you have your client's best interests in mind.
Sadly, this makes us all look bad and devalues things like SEO, social media, and other "soft services". The thing that is tricky about it all is that working with any B2B service provider requires a leap of faith to some degree, even when you have a trial period, but this only makes potential partners and clients very jaded, hesitant, and paranoid…
I can speak volumes about all of this and, really, I have to catch myself when I come off as being full of hot-air, preachy, or "suspect".. It happens. Sometimes I'll read a bio one of my cohorts puts up and I shake my head, because I know they may send off the wrong signals to the right people.. And it can be painful.
Anyway, I linked to this article in one of my recent guest blogs. This is really good stuff here and I hope you follow up on it. 8)

I have been searching for my next bike for some time now and my intent was an ADV bike. I actually pick up an KTM Adventure 950 on Saturday in Cali that I purchased here from an inmate. Anyway for me it came down to a few things. Budget being the first priority. I can afford to buy whatever I want for the most part but I have to be able to justify it to myself and with 3 kids and a wife at home that damn thing called priority gets in the way. I used to be able to justify two Ducati's in my garage but not anymore.
My other concern was performance. I have owned a newer KLR for a short time and it was a good bike. Handled great, no problems and I did like it but it just didn't have quite enough grunt for me. Might have been the easiest bike to ride that I have ever owned. But I like to have that low end, pull a stump out of the ground grunt. Hence the reason I've had so many twins I guess.
That said I was still looking into smaller displacement 600cc style rides but I was hesitant because I felt that I might want more. If I was able to justify two bikes in the garage right now I am pretty sure one would be a smaller adventure bike with some other performance style bike to fulfill my needs. I agree with the sentiments that the smaller ADV bikes are better suited to off-road duty and the true essence of ADV riding. The Sertao was on my short list actually because its price was more manageable (Justifiable) The local dealer has one in since last week and I went to take a look at it. Not a bad looking GS except the anemic forks. The seat is more comfortable then the f800 in my opinion as well although I did not ride it. I have ridden the f800 though and that seat needs work.
Talking to the salesman about the Sertao he basically confirms it is a slightly reworked Dakar with a newer look and newer instrument cluster. Personally I think it looks significantly better then the Dakar but looks are subjective. I used to think the KTM Adventures were on the homely side but after some time I began to admire their purposeful rally look. According to Tom (Salesman) the Sertao should be just as bulletproof as the Dakar which is a good thing.
After checking out the Sertao and finding out that it would be about $10500 OTD I was more convinced the KTM was what I needed to get for now anyway considering my budgetary concerns. That price was for a bike equipped with the "optional" heated grips, accessory socket. I think its funny how BMW calls that stuff optional when you never see them without it. Thats a hell of a marketing ploy they have going.
It too bad that BMW just didn't put another 2K into the Sertao and make it a kickass ADV bike with good forks and a few more advanced alloys lightening it by 50-60 lbs. I think people would still buy it but I realize they need to keep the price point away form the f800. Maybe Yamaha will some day bring the little Tenere to the states then we might have something.
I'm sure whoever gets one of these will be extremely happy with it as overall it looks like a pretty good package.

Trend Q
Trend Q is a series of terrazzo-like engineered stone tiles and slabs that includes numerous colors with recycled glass content. The material is composed of approximately 93% "grit", or chips, and 7% pigmented polyester resin. The grit, which is comprised of either quartz, porcelain, granite, glass, or mosaic, is crushed into nine different granule sizes. These granules are mixed with the pigmented polyester resin and spread onto a large sheet mold where the slab takes its shape. After finishing the surface to a high polish, the slab is fitted with a mesh backing and is either left intact or cut into standard or custom tiles. A few of the most popular features of this material include:
Very Large Format = Fewer Grout Lines
Custom Water Jet Cuts = Sweeping Curves
Suitable for Heavy Commercial Traffic Flooring
Extremely Durable. Stain & Scratch Resistant.
Lightweight. 1/4" Thickness = Saves on Shipping Costs
Low Everyday Maintenance and Maintenance Costs
Custom Colors Available (Minimum 4,000 square feet)
Non-Porous. Does Not Require Sealing. Fast Installation.
Colors + Finishes
There are 46 colors in the Trend Q standard color line. Due to the nature of the product, finishes vary from color to color but typically range from a high-polish to a semi-polished surface.
Custom colors may be produced for projects meeting the minimum order requirements of 4,000 sq/ft.
Standard nominal (and actual) sizes are:
12"x12" (11.81"x11.81"), 12"x24" (11.81"x23.62"), 16"x48" (15.75"x47.24"), 24"x24" (23.62"x23.62"), 24"x48" (23.62"x47.24"), 24"x59" (23.62"x59.06"), 24"x118" (23.62"x118.11) 48"x48" (47.24"x47.24"), 47"x118".

Bullish Sentiment Spikes to Highest Level of 2014
Well, they were going to have to cave at some point. Over the last few weeks, we have been noting the fact that even though the S&P 500 has been hitting record high after record high this month, individual investors were very reluctant to put themselves in the bullish camp. That started to change this week as bullish sentiment among individual investors rose to its highest level of 2014.
According to the weekly sentiment survey from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII), bullish sentiment increased from 39.51% to 44.69%. This was the largest one-week increase since late April, and the highest level of actual bullish sentiment since the last week of 2013. Increases in bullish sentiment are generally considered to be a contrarian bullish signal, but with bulls still not yet in the majority, sentiment has not yet reached extreme levels.

Author: XingLi
Along with the world`s entering creative economy, creative agriculture becomes the inevitable trend for agricultural development in the 21st century. Originated from late1990s, the concept of creative agriculture began to expand throughout the world along with the innovation and development of technology, the development of agricultural functions, and the development of sightseeing, recreation, and ecological agriculture.
Nowadays, creative agriculture has not only become the new engine for driving sustainable development of economy and society in developed countries, but also served as an important strategy for developing country to realize economic transition and great-stride development. The next round of economic growth of China will rely on the rural areas. The relatively large rural market has great potential for investment and consumption. Therefore, creative agriculture will absolutely be the first choice for China`s rising. Being limited by objective environment and various factors, Chinese creative agriculture is still exploring its way forward. As a newly rising industry, it still has a long way to go.
Agriculture + Originality=High Added Value?
At present, some creative agriculture projects happened in some places in China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian, and Guangdong, and made certain achievements. For example, some place in Dalian makes full uses `three kinds of resources` including producing, living and ecological resources. In order to enhance the added value of corns, a picture of a maze is designed before plating the corn, so that when the corns grow up, the corn field become the first and the largest corn maze China. Combining with tourism of `Having Fun at a Farmhouse`, a great number of tourists both home and abroad are attracted. Shanghai Fengxian Creative Agriculture Garden developed and produced colorful and lovely small pumpkins. These pumpkins gain much higher value after being altered into artwork due to changing in appearance and color. Qixia City of Shandong Province, honored as the `capital of apples` produced creative apples with Chinese characters indicating `Luck` and `Happiness`. These apples are greatly welcomed by a large number of businessmen. The creative products have increased the added value of agricultural products and boosted the development of local agriculture and other industry to some extent. However, some experts and scholars also question that if the high added value is sustainable.
Experts in the industry say that creative agriculture still holds a small share in agriculture on the whole, but it has great developing potential. It is not mature yet. Creative agriculture in these areas hasn`t grown into a competitive creative agricultural industry.
Can the value of agricultural products be enhanced as long as agriculture combines with originality? Can `stone be turned into gold`? Experts analyzes that there are many problems in specific operation and practice of creative agriculture in China, such as the problem of small-scale production, low efficiency of agricultural production, lack of standardization, etc. On the whole, Chinese creative agriculture is still at its primary stage.
Chinese Agriculture Needs Originality
In the field of creative agriculture, the experience of European countries such as France, Holland, Britain deserves our reference. For example, one fourth of the farms in Britain are operated in the pattern of combining agriculture with tourism. Dumfries in Scotland is very good at making full use of agricultural resources to enhance the added value of agricultural products. This district has made great profit through combining its unique agricultural sceneries with other local industries.
The district has green natural environment and unique ways of producing and living of the city, the industry and the tertiary-industry. Therefore the agricultural production and operation departments think that the local characteristics have a high value of tourist resource. Driven by the great need of tourist market, the local agricultural production and operation departments develop agricultural tourism continuously. This pattern of integrating the need of urban people and agricultural production has not only satisfied the need of virescence, recreation and sustainable development of cities, but also drove diversified development of agriculture and to some extent boosted the upgrading of agricultural industry.
Jinjiang District of Chengdu City in China shares something in common with the farm tourism in Britain. Both of them focus on their unique agricultural products and gardens, and bring along the rising of several industries. Both of them enable people to enjoy the new achievements of agricultural innovation, and provide creative agriculture with enterprises that have favorable environment and atmosphere. Jingjiang District of Chengdu takes actions that suit local circumstances to promote urban-rural integration, to develop creative agricultural industry, and to boost integrated development of cultural originality and recreation tourist industry. Jinjiang District successfully created `Five Golden Flowers` including Flower Town Farmhouse and Happy Plum Woods. Jinjiang District has successfully set a model for creative pattern of `Having Fun at a Farmhouse`. However, compared with Britain, its degree of urban-rural integration and intensification is much lower.
It is said that a kind of creative agriculture in the pattern of `urban farming garden` in Europe and Japan is highly valued, because farming and gardening there is suitable for all groups of people such as adults, seniors, children and the sick. Nowadays, it has become the favorite entertainment and recreation method of urban people in the developed countries. Its operation mode is to lease the land in outskirts to urban people for them to plant vegetables, melons and fruits, as well as flowers and trees or operate family farming art. Through farming in person, urban citizens can enjoy the fun of going back to the land and the nature, obtain safe and fresh food at the same time, and strengthen unity and communication between family members. At present, some places in China like Beijing and Ningxia have also put forward this kind of urban farming garden. Wang Minhui, the deputy director of Shanghai Academy of Social Science Sector Economic Research Institute Regional Research Center, states that there are many new patterns of agricultural development all over the world at present, but there are no fixed patterns. All patterns are created according to local resources and culture. China should establish industry group focusing on core elements of rural area and agricultural resources there, promote overall added value of agricultural products, and facilitate construction of new villages by integrating culture with various living resources in rural areas.
How should Chinese agriculture be creative?
Facing the new economic growth point of creative agriculture, how should China strengthen its advantage and take part in international competition? Zhang Jigang, a Chinese expert on creative agriculture, thinks that creative agriculture is a new type of agricultural production method which is market-oriented, agricultural production-dependent, originality-centered, intellectual property-based, and agricultural enterprise-focused. It instructs people to connect the steps before, during and after the production into a complete industry chain, integrates agricultural products with cultural and artistic originality, constructs creative villages and creative farmhouses, and cultivate creative farmers through creative production, creative ecology and creative life. In this way the aim of optimizing resource distribution, creating higher added value, promoting agricultural efficiency, and increasing farmers` income can be realized.
Experts highlight that creative agriculture development must avoid repeated construction and blindly `copy`. What matters is originality. Take Henan Province for example, Henan is a large agricultural province, which has demonstrative effect in boosting new village construction process. Henan Province can act as the experimental province to regulate modern agriculture. `Second development` can be conducted on the original basis of its natural agricultural production. Its industry upgrading can be finished through integration with other industries such as culture and tourism. This will be not only beneficial for developing the function of agricultural production development ecology, but also able to maintain sustainable development of agriculture.
Li Wuwei, the Vice-Chairman of Chinese People`s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), reveals that `Double-Innovation` Strategy, that is, emphasizing both technological innovation and cultural innovation, is the new thinking of developing creative agriculture and new pattern for constructing multilayer production chain and value system.

2010 Fantasy Football Year in Review – Quarterbacks
We here at Chinstrap Ninjas believe in accountability for what we do. So we are going to reflect back at our preseason predictions and tell you about the good, the bad and the ugly.
First we will start with a look at the quarterbacks.
We will look at how the quarterbacks finished based on standard scoring 6 points per passing TD and -2 points per interception.
The composite ranks were comprised of preseason rankings from CBS Sportsline.com, Foxsports.com, Yahoo.com, ESPN.com, NFL.com, our own jzak, and our own sockonfl.
- Tom Brady- (jzak-6)(ep's adp-4)(sockonfl-4)(composite-4) Looks like a three way tie for the closest prediction here. Brady was phenomenal down the stretch of 2010 earning him the #1 spot. jzak had the lowest ranking on Brady of 6th.
- Aaron Rodgers- (jzak-1)(ep's ADP-1)(sockonfl-1)(composite-2) Well the experts making up the composite ranking nailed this one. All three ninjas were not far off predicting Rodgers at #1 instead of #2.
- Peyton Manning- (jzak-3)(ep's ADP-3)(sockonfl-2)(composite-3) Sockonfl was the only one to miss on this ranking. He didn't miss by much, only being 1 slot off the final ranking.
- Michael Vick- None of the ninjas had Vick even ranked for 2010. The experts missed this one too as Vick wasn't found in their top 32 either. Everyone had Kevin Kolb being the star of the show. Jzak and I went to the Linc to watch Philly's opener. What we thought was the beginning of the Kevin Kolb era in Philly, turned out to be the beginning of the Vick era in Philly. He undoubtedly was the best quarterback pickup off of waivers in your league for 2010.
- Philip Rivers- (jzak-7)(ep's ADP-6)(sockonfl-5)(composite-7) Sockonfl turned in the exact ranking for Rivers for 2010. The others only missed slightly.
- Drew Brees- (jzak-2)(ep's ADP-2)(sockonfl-3)(composite-1) Looks like we all missed slightly on this one. Sockonfl was closest with his 3rd ranking.
- Josh Freeman - (jzak-NR)(ep's ADP-22)(sockonfl-29)(composite-29) Looks like ADP did the best job here but we were all well off the mark of Josh Freeman's breakout season.
- Matt Ryan - (jzak-9)(ep's ADP-10)(sockonfl-10)(composite-10) Jzak did the best job evaluating Ryan. He was only one slot off from his true ranking.
- Matt Schaub- (jzak-4)(ep's ADP-7)(sockonfl-6)(composite-5) Looks like ADP did the best job with Schaub. Everyone else expected a bigger season. Perhaps the emergence of Arian Foster had to do a lot with his productivity reduction.
- Eli Manning - (jzak-11)(ep's ADP-13)(sockonfl-12)(composite-11) jzak and the composite experts tied for best Eli Manning ranking and were only 1 slot off from his actual ranking.
- Matt Cassel- (jzak-NR)(ep's ADP-21)(sockonfl-27)(composite-21) ep's ADP and the experts tied with the closest rank but were still way below what Cassel finished the season at. Say thanks to Dwayne Bowe and former offensive coordinator Charlie Weis.
- Joe Flacco- (jzak-12)(ep's ADP-11)(sockonfl-9)(composite-9) Jzak was the only one to nail Flacco's ranking exactly. Looks like others had higher expectations for Flacco with the revamped WR corp.
- Carson Palmer- (jzak-16)(ep's ADP-15)(sockonfl-13)(composite-15) Sockonfl's ranking was right on the dot here nailing his 13th rank.
- David Garrard - (jzak-NR)(ep's ADP-NR)(sockonfl-25)(composite-22) We all missed badly on this one. The experts were the closest but even they were not that close with an overall 22nd rank.
- Jay Cutler - (jzak-8)(ep's ADP-8)(sockonfl-11)(composite-8) Sockonfl was closest with his 11th ranking. Looks like everyone had higher expectations for Cutler in year one of the Martz system.
The closest to rankings breakdowns went as follows: (Each person given 1 point for being closest to ranking with ties split evenly)
- Sockonfl – 4.33
- Composite – 3.66
- EP's ADP – 3.16
- Jzak – 2.83
Congratulations to sockonfl for beating the composite experts rankings at quarterback for 2010.

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Class of 2019 Guide
Congrats again on your offer of acceptance to the D.O. class of 2019 at DMU! We're excited to have you join us in August! Because we know this process can be overwhelming, we've put together a quick guide to help you know when and what to expect until orientation.
Please note, your attendance is required on campus beginning Monday, August 3 through Friday, August 7, 2015.
What's first?
Conditions of enrollment agreement
As a follow to your official acceptance email, you were sent a Conditions of Enrollment Agreement via email. The requirements laid out on this document are truly the conditions of your enrollment and must be completed by the due dates listed. Please read this document very carefully and return a signed copy to the admissions office by the deadline listed. As you are responsible for completing the tasks as outlined, you'll want to keep a copy of this for yourself.
*If you have outstanding prerequisite coursework to be completed (such as 3 semester hours of biochemistry), you must have a plan in place to complete this prior to matriculation. Contact the admission office immediately if you foresee difficulty in completing all conditions by matriculation.
Seat deposit
The deposit to reserve your seat is $1,000. Depending on when you are accepted, this non-refundable deposit is broken into two payments of $500, with the final payment being due on May 1. Your personalized due dates are outlined on the Conditions of Enrollment Agreement. The seat deposit not only secures your seat in the class, but also opens your account at DMU and is credited towards your tuition. Submit your deposit today at: https://www.dmu.edu/form/seat-deposit/.
Those accepted prior to November 15 will have until December 14 to submit their initial $500 deposit.
Those accepted between November 15 and January 14 will have 30 days to submit their initial $500 deposit.
Those accepted between January 15 and May 14 will have 14 days to submit their initial $500 deposit.
Those accepted after May 15 may be asked for an immediate deposit to submit their initial $500 deposit.
Things to look for this spring!
DMU Pulse and email
Beginning in early 2015, incoming students will receive information on how to access Pulse (DMU's intranet) and your DMU email address. This information will be emailed to you, so be sure to keep the information safe. Pulse is your go-to spot for all kinds of information including:
- Financial aid: Detailed information will be available on Pulse beginning in April 2015. We recommend you wait until you've filed your 2014 taxes to get started on your FAFSA. Also, your parent's tax info is only necessary if you are planning to apply for Pell Grants.
- You can view a comprehensive Financial Aid webcast here: Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Financial Aid webcast
- Background checks: We require all students to complete background checks before enrolling. This helps us – and you – ensure there isn't anything that could hinder your ability to be licensed to practice medicine. Remember, you are obligated to disclose all convictions on your application! If you're not sure if that campus violation was a misdemeanor, it's best to check into it now. You'll also complete annual background checks. You will receive instructions to complete this in May.
- Physical examination/laboratory tests and immunizations: You must submit current physical examination, certain laboratory tests and immunization records prior to matriculation. Forms will be posted to Pulse in May.
- Health insurance: Students are required to carry health insurance. Students who do not select an option regarding their health insurance will be automatically enrolled in the DMU program and charged the annual premium. Coverage for incoming students will not begin until August. Specific details of the health insurance requirements will be available on Pulse in May, and the sign-up/waiver period will take place throughout the summer.
- Transcripts: You must submit official transcripts from every institution you've attended. These transcripts must be sent from your institution, directly to DMU. The transcripts that you submitted when you applied to AACOMAS, stay with AACOMAS. DMU needs an official copy of each for your student file.
- Technical Standards for Admission: Students must be able to meet the technical standards for education at DMU either with or without accommodation. The Technical Standards form will be available on Pulse this summer, but you may review the standards online here:
And into summer…
Housing is abundant in the Des Moines area, and students in the past have found the best time to check out apartments is late spring. Students are responsible for locating their own housing; DMU does not own any student housing. To help you out, Pulse contains the "DMU classifieds" which is a great place to post if you're looking for a place or a roomie. In fact, more than 60% of DMU students who had a roommate, found them on Pulse! The University acts solely as a facilitator in hosting this forum.
DMU has a one-time $220 parking fee. Cars can be registered on Pulse in the weeks prior to Orientation.
Tuition is collected in two equal payments, in August and January. Tuition and fees are approved by the University's Board of Trustees each spring and collected by the Accounting Office. 2014-2015 D.O. annual tuition is currently available, so be sure to check out the cost of attendance budget to help you plan (tuition and fees are subject to change.) We anticipate the 2015-2016 budget to be available in the spring.
Books and equipment
Required and recommended textbooks and equipment are available from the on-campus bookstore, Matthews. Our current students have encouraged us to let you know to wait to buy your books until orientation. This helps save on costs, ensures you get the correct editions and most up-to-date required materials.
And August!
Please plan to attend mandatory sessions beginning Monday, August 3 through Friday, August 7, 2015. The full schedule of events will be available on Pulse in early summer. At orientation you can expect to meet your classmates and advisor, learn how to navigate the transition to medical school, technology overview, professional integrity code, attend class meetings and learn about all the essentials at DMU.
Classes will begin on Friday, August 7, 2015.
We look forward to seeing you on campus this fall! As always, please email us at email@example.com with any questions.

Homecomings (1956) is the story of Lewis Eliot's life from 1938 to 1951, taking in the suicide of his first wife, his second marriage, and the birth – and near-death – of his son. It was originally published sixth in Snow's "Strangers and Brothers" series, but Snow placed it seventh when he rearranged the sequence for the 1972 omnibus edition. Its time span, stretching from 1938 to 1951, partly overlaps with the fourth novel in the sequence, The Light and the Dark (1947), which covers the period 1934-43 and the sixth, The New Men (1954), which unfolds in the years 1939-47. As throughout the series, Eliot is the first-person narrator, but in this novel, as in Time of Hope (…

Such was the demand last year, when 150 youngsters entered our competition, photo shoots will be held in Bracknell town centre over SIX days - instead of three.
Children aged six or under can take part in the Super Tots baby and toddler of the year competition, organised by the News.
Our friends at LifeStyle Images Events will have a stand at Princess Square shopping centre in Bracknell from tomorrow until Sunday, June 2, between 10am and 5pm each day.
The pictures of the adorable youngsters will appear in the News later in June, for readers to vote on their favourite.
Simon Williams, editor of the News, said: "We are delighted to be holding our Super Tots competition once again.
"It is always a hit with families; last year, entries were up by 50% and it is sure to again be very popular.
"In some cases in previous years, parents and children have been queuing for more than an hour but hopefully, with double the number of days, there should not be such a long wait.
"We are thrilled that LifeStyle Images Events are again taking the photographs.
"They always produce fantastic pictures of the little ones." Stuart Atkins, from LifeStyle Images Events, said: "Super Tots was a great success last year and we have added extra days to lower the queues.
"We will be at the bottom of the escalators [at Princess Square] so people won't be able to miss us."
The photo shoot itself is free but parents pay LifeStyle Images Events for any photographs they want.
There are four age categories - for children up to nine months, 10 to 18 months, 19 months to three years and, for kids aged four to six.
All photographs will be published in two special supplements in the News and readers can then vote for the most adorable children.
The photos of two of the categories will appear in the News on Thursday, June 20, and the second two on Thursday, June 27.
Readers will be able to vote for their favourites by coupon or text from Thursday, June 20, until Sunday, July 7.
The baby or child with the most votes in each of the four categories will be named our winners in the News on Thursday, July 11.
The winning children will receive a fantastic 16"x12" canvas print of their photograph and a certificate, courtesy of LifeStyle Images Events.
Last year's winners were Tayla Mullan, Terry Griffiths, Keyan Nugent, and Alexi Dimotzoglou.

incentives to officers and other key employees of Dollar Thrifty Group that
serve to align their interests with those of stockholders. Under the LTIP, the
Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee would be authorized to award:
(1) stock options (including both non-qualified stock options and "incentive
stock options"), (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock, (4)
performance share awards and (5) other stock-based incentive awards. The LTIP
would be intended to qualify for the performance-based exclusion from the
deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
Initially, 10% of the shares of the Company's common stock outstanding upon
completion of the Offering (expected to be 2,250,000 shares, or 2,587,500 shares

is exercised in full) would be authorized for issuance under the LTIP.
The Company anticipates that initial awards of up to an aggregate of 6% of
the shares then outstanding would be made after completion of the Offering. The
initial awards would consist of stock options and performance shares.
Initial stock option awards are expected to be granted to approximately 170

of control of the Company, the options would be exercisable immediately.
In addition, initial performance share awards are expected to be granted to
Company officers and certain key employees, including each of the named
executive officers. Such awards would establish a target number of shares that
may be earned in three equal annual installments commencing on the first
anniversary of the grant date. The number of performance shares ultimately
earned by a grantee would be expected to range from zero to 200% of the
grantee's target award, depending on the level of corporate performance each
year against business plan and stock price appreciation targets established on
the grant date. Any performance share installments not earned as of a given
anniversary date would be forfeited. Performance shares earned would be
delivered to the grantee on the third anniversary of the initial grant date,
provided the grantee is then employed by a member of the Group. Under certain
circumstances, including a change of control of the Company, the performance
shares earned would be delivered immediately.

By Jeremy Lee, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 02 August 2012 10:45AM
Green replaces Marco Rimini, who was promoted to chief executive of Mindshare Worldwide Central Team earlier this year. He will report to Rimini.
Green was one of the few remaining members of the senior Naked team still at the agency following its merger with Hyper last year. He has worked at the company for seven years on brands including Coca-Cola, Vodafone, JP Morgan and Kimberly-Clark.
He will lead an 80-strong global team that includes Matt Andrews and Alistair Green, who run the UK strategy function; Sonia Le Louarn, who heads Latin America; Tim Elton, who runs the US; and Deepika Nikhilender, Cat Williams and Chris Harrison, who manage Asia.
Mindshare said Green will be responsible for bringing together this global strategy community when he takes up his role at the end of August.
Rimini said: "I am pleased Chris is finally joining. He is someone I have wanted to have here for a while. He provides the combination of being imaginative, strategic and entrepreneurial that our strategy community and clients will respond to."Follow @Jezzalee

Old English metathesis of þridda, from Proto-Germanic *thridjas (cf. Old Frisian thredda, Old Saxon thriddio, Middle Low German drudde, Dutch derde, Old High German dritto, German dritte, Old Norse þriðe, Gothic þridja), from PIE *tritjos (cf. Sanskrit trtiyas, Avestan thritya, Greek tritos, Latin tertius, Old Church Slavonic tretiji, Lithuanian trecias, Old Irish triss).
Related to Old English þreo (see three). Metathesis of thrid into third is attested from c.950 in Northumbria, but thrid was prevalent up to 16c. The noun meaning "third part of anything" is recorded from late 14c. Third rail in electric railway sense is recorded from 1890. Third World War as a possibility first recorded 1947. Third-rate "of poor quality" is from 1814, ultimately from classification of ships (1640s); third class in railway travel is from 1839.
