The focus of my academic interest is educational reform. My work examines the policies and practices associated with effective educational change in American schools and university settings in the areas of: 1) micro/macro analysis, 2) qualitative inquiry, 3) policy analysis and evaluation, and 4) organizational/systems theories.
I experience an affirmation that I chose the right profession each semester in knowing my level of anticipation on the first day of class. I began my teaching career with a decade of public school work after which I took a five-year leave to enjoy being a full time mom. I returned to the classroom at IUP, where I have taught undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students and where I coordinate the Principal Certification Program. These roles reflect responsibilities to different audiences. I work with undergraduates who are learning to be effective teachers and with experienced educators who aspire to administrative positions in public and private schools and in higher education. A rewarding aspect of this position is connecting these different populations with their unique blend of skills and challenges to course work and to resources that secure and enhance their professional paths. Currently, my most fulfilling role is assisting students with their doctoral research projects. Although I was schooled in the age of Newtonian physics, predictable outcomes, experimental design, and cause-effect relationships, I am today more intrigued by the ways in which concepts from the social sciences can serve as analytical filters through which to examine sociological transitions in organizations and psychological transitions in the beliefs and actions of individuals working within those organizations.
Much of my early career as a scholar addressed educational change in post-Soviet environments of East Central Europe, where I observed teachers, administrators, and policy makers struggling with what they called the "tunnel at the end of the light." In this frequently used metaphor, the light symbolized internal struggles to sustain new initiatives and to incorporate new accessibility to vast amounts of information. Although the geography of my attention has shifted over the decades, the task of translating a myriad of available information into useful knowledge remains a surprising similar challenge.
My life outside the university is full of home projects, travel, bicycling with my husband, and enjoying time with children living in San Francisco, Providence, and New York City. Our eating adventures in these three great destinations serve to inspire more cycling. Our most recent pedaling was in the Dolomite region of Italy.

Posted January 26, 2013 on AP on Fox
Tiger Woods is going to have to wait to pursue another win at Torrey Pines. A thick fog shrouded the course along the Pacific bluffs on Saturday and essentially wiped out the entire day at the Farmers Insurance Open. Woods, a six-time winner of this tournament, had a two-shot lead and never even bothered coming to the golf course. Three players completed one hole -- and that was after a three-hour delay. Players were to resume the third round Sunday morning and go as long as daylight allowed, and then finish Monday. And that's a best-case scenario. In a bizarre twist, tour officials were hopeful of rain and a little wind Sunday morning, two elements that most golfers dread. That's what is needed, however, to keep the fog away from Torrey Pines and allow the tournament to resume. ''When Mother Nature doesn't want you to play, you can't play,'' said Mark Russell, the tour vice president of competition. They did just about everything else. Lucas Glover warmed up three times, at ...

This question already has an answer here:
- hiding personal functions in R 6 answers
It's getting to the point where I have about 100 or so personal functions that I use for line by line data analysis. I generally use
f.<mnemonic> nomenclature for my functions, but I'm finding that they're starting to get in the way of my work. Is there any way to hide them from the workspace? Such that
ls() doesn't show them, but I can still use them?

Sones de Mexico, an ensemble dedicated to preserving the various "sones" or styles of folk music that are indigenous to the various Mexican states, was the second offering from the UVM Lane Series recently. The Redstone Recital Hall had few empty seats either for the concert itself or for the pre-concert talk, a staple feature of the Lane Series.
This remarkable six-member group between them played some 30 to 40 instruments, as well as singing and, in the case of the lone woman member, remarkable step dancing.
The focus for this particular concert was centered on the music of the late Mexican revolution, so that music of the time of the revolution was one aspect, music created by the revolution another, as well as music that sang the praises of such folk-heroes as Pancho Villa. There was at least one Revolutionary march.
Under the leadership of Victor Pichardo, an active member of the ensemble, and with the narration by Juan Dies, the ensemble moved through all the elements of its program with sounds as colorful as the colors of the costumes of Mexico and as vivid as the poinsettias and the bougainvillea and all the other floral wonders of the country.
One particularly wonderful moment in the program came when the ensemble turned its attention to J. S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, which suffered no harm at the hands of the ensemble, producing an effect that the composer could certainly have accepted without any qualms.
The audience, charmed by the first sounds of the evening, participated whenever asked to do so during a generously programmed concert. At the conclusion of the program, they were equally generous with their applause, bringing the members of the ensemble back to the stage for a number of bows. All in all, it was a brilliant and wonderful evening.

Heidi Klum's Dance, Kat Dennings Boobs + More: People's Choice Awards Most Awkward Moments
Awards season is ON, everyone. And even though most of the "unscripted" bits of tonight's People's Choice Awards were totally and completely scripted and rehearsed, it was a good warm up for the shows coming up in the next three months. In case you skipped out on the show assuming it was just going to be another excuse for CBS to promote its shows (how dare you!), we've gathered the best jokes, flirtatious banter and bad dancing by hosts Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs of 2 Broke Girls, along with Heidi Klum, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev, and more.

The 8 Cutest Couples At The 2012 Emmys
Sometimes the best fashion accessory isn't a cool bag or awesome sunglasses, but a loving partner! The red carpet for the 2012 Emmy Awards was awash with adorable PDAs from some of the biggest A-listers in television. Breaking Bad star and newly minted Emmy winner Aaron Paul could hardly keep his hands off of his lovely fiance Lauren Parsekian, and Broke Girl Kat Dennings was seen looking deep into the lovey dovey eyes of boyfriend Nick Zano. Power couple Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt looked very much the adoring duo (and now we know what that special twinkle in her eye is all about). Jon's Mad Men costar Christina Hendricks came in on the arm of husband and 500 Days Of Summer goofball Geoffrey Arend. Head on down to the gallery below for some awww-inspiring photos from the 62nd annual Primetime Emmys!

Other red carpet highlights included Kat Dennings' flawlessly foxy red-on-red look and Heidi Klum's doubly sky-high slits. Mad Men's Jessica Pare took a page from the Megan Draper fashionable playbook and rocked a custom Jason Wu black and white ensemble.

We're Obsessed With Kat Dennings' Emmys Red Carpet Dress (Not To Mention. The. Girls.)
We hope you were standing near your fainting couch when you caught a glimpse of Kat Dennings' flawlessness on the Emmys red carpet just now. Dressed in plunging deep red with porcelain skin and loose, romantic curls, the Two Broke Girls star was basically required by law to discuss her insane decolletage with E!'s Giuliana Rancic before the event. "So matter what I do they're there, so…," Kat joked. "Well, you know what I mean? I looked in the mirror and I was like, 'Ugh, god.' But what am I gonna do? They're always the same size!" And spectacular.
Dennings brought her boyfriend/costar Nick Zano to the awards tonight, a man who, in addition to being very grateful to the universe, has a very special role to play: keeping Kat's ladies from bursting out of her frock. "If I stand up too straight, there's a possibility. So if I hunch, that's why. If I have terribly posture, it's from fear of things coming out," Kat laughed about a nation's hope. "He has been alerted to the possibility of emergency and he's always primed and ready." Dennings is also rocking OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark, if you even thought to look at her nail steez. Which you did, because you want to soak in every aspect of her epicness.

Kat Dennings' Dress Plunges Into Christina Hendricks Territory: This Can't Be Comfortable, Ladies
Anyone who's seen Kat Dennings on Two Broke Girls know that she has the kind of magnificent bazooms that make angels weep and infants forsake their mother's milk. Of that, there is no question. But when we saw photos of Dennings' dress at Sunday's TCA Summer Press Tour Party in Beverly Hills, we immediately called to mind another charming, talented actress who often sports a similar style: Mad Men diva Christina Hendricks. While obviously they are both goddesses who can wear whatever they want, we just have to say: ladies, this style cannot be comfortable, can it? Can it?
Honestly, we've never seen this neckline except on Dennings and Hendricks, which makes us think it's being hand-made in some secret government lab dedicated to making dudes' eyes explode out of their sockets. Clearly, there are some benefits to that; we're not total fools. Maybe we're just not the target demographic, but the top of their dresses look like weird, pointy boob hammocks. We never thought we would ever have to type the words "boob hammocks" as an insult, but here we are. Even worse, Kat's dress somehow looks incredibly tight and not particularly supportive. All we're saying is: rock out with your knock(ers) out, ladies, but maybe not in this squishifying boob suspension bridge ish. Ain't nothing wrong with a regular bra, especially compared to…seriously, what's under there? A vise?

CBS Upfront Presentation Brings Out A Parade Of Ladies: Cobie Smulders, Kat Dennings Smolder
Considering that Fox and NBC networks just had their upfront presentations earlier this week, we had a feeling that CBS wouldn't be far behind. We were right. The CBS Upfronts Presentation went down in New York yesterday and it seemed that the ladies ruled the roost. Cobie Smulders led the way in a white Rebecca Minkoff "Mistral" dress with cutouts and cheeky red pumps. Apparently, her earrings were designed by Krysten Ritter for JewelMint to benefit Autism Speaks. How I Met Your Mother, FTW! We bet she's in the best shape of her life after having to fit into that unforgiving catsuit she wore through The Avengers. It was also great to see Lucy Liu, looking impossibly tiny, but fit, in a burgundy Marios Schwab slip.
Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs — the 2 Broke Girls — looked great posing together. We just can't understand why Kat won't smile more? She was a knockout in a black dress and nude pumps but wouldn't stop pouting for some strange reason. Seriously, every photograph we saw didn't have a hint of a grin in it. Luckily, her co-star Beth, made up for her in the sunshine department, while wearing a lovely royal blue sheath. To see who else attended, you're going to have to click through our gallery, but we promise you … it'll be worth it.

Demi Lovato To Keanu Reeves: 10 Headbangin' Celebs On National Metal Day
In case you didn't realize, VH1 Classic has declared today, 11/11/11, National Metal Day. We're sure we're not the only ones to blast Mastodon in our headphones while everyone assumes we're typing away to the sweet sounds of Britney Spears. Not every metalhead wears leather pants, T-shirts and a scowl, right? Over the years, several surprising celebs have come out of the closet as fans of the hard stuff — and not just when those Iron Maiden shirts were really popular at Hot Topic.
Years ago, MTV discovered that Demi Lovato was a serious fan of black metallers Dimmu Borgir among other groups we're sure never appeared on Radio Disney. Kat Dennings likes to tweet about knitting while listening to metal. This 10-minute video of a tipsy Kelly Clarkson rocking out onstage at a Metal Skool show in 2006 is truly endearing. And only one celeb has actually toured with Ozzfest — Ms. Jada Pinkett Smith. Check out the other headbanging A-listers in the gallery!
Also, head over to VH1 Tuner to see pics of metal gods being very unmetal and read Top 20 Countdown host Jim Shearer's account of his Big 4 Metal Moments.

Kat Dennings Is This Week's Hotness!
At first, Kat Dennings laughed at us when we told her she was this week's Hotness, after beating Zooey Deschanel by 70 percent to 30 percent. We love her 'cause she's self-deprecating like that. Then we reminded her that she wore the dress below back in May, and she agreed. She is pretty hot.

Zooey Deschanel Vs. Kat Dennings: Who Is This Week's Hotness?
Call it ironic timing, but we'd already chosen to nominate Zooey Deschanel as one of this week's Hotness candidates long before we heard the sad news that she's divorcing Ben Gibbard. But on the bright side, a little ego boost is always good for a newly single girl! We're certain this isn't the first time Zooey's been compared to that other object of hipster affection, Kat Dennings, but we couldn't resist it. Not only do both ladies have that girls-want-to-be-her/guys-want-to … thing going for them, but they've also both made pretty awesome transitions to the small screen this fall, in The New Girl and Two Broke Girls. And they both have recently tweeted about vegetables (Zooey dissed bok choy , Kat is a fervent brussels sprouts supporter).
Zooey may have an advantage in this race, with her triple-threat as an actress, one half of She and Him, and HelloGiggles blog co-founder. But we also wonder if she's too obvious a choice. Kat may have won just as many indie-rockers' hearts in Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. And she is smoking-hot in the new issue of GQ. We're not sure how you're ever going to be able to decide between them. Here's a gallery to help you, though. Then vote after the jump!

Study says cultural differences and a lack of effective communication are the root causes
ROSEMONT, Ill., March 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Native American children who live in rural areas are at greater risk of clubfoot recurrence following treatment than other rural populations, and researchers are beginning to understand why. According to a study published in the March 2009 issue of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (http://www.ejbjs.org/)(JBJS), cultural differences and communication barriers are factors that appear to contribute to this increased risk.
In the Ponseti technique, after repetitive casting, a brace is used to treat the affected foot. The success of the technique relies heavily on the participation of the caregiver to make sure the brace is used properly. When use of the brace is discontinued before treatment is completed, the condition is much more likely to recur. Caregivers are more likely to stop using the brace if they do not fully understand its importance.
"The challenge of the Ponseti treatment regimen lies not in the initial cast correction, but in the success of educating the parents and family regarding their role in the bracing process, and in the provision of a brace that is acceptable to the child and family alike," said Elizabeth Szalay, MD, pediatric orthopaedic surgeon and chief of the Division of Pediatric Orthopaedics at the
Recurrence levels are generally higher in a rural population than in an urban setting, Szalay notes, and are highest in patients who:

"I love these return address labels! They came in a secure package on sheets that are very easy to peel off. Great quality paper and they stick very well. Very chic and stylish and bold colors (not faded or anything). I will definitely be ordering more when I run out!!"
"I didn't really change it up all that much. The print and design is clean and very pretty. I chose the blue/red combo. I am always happy with Tiny Prints products and would recommend this lovely label. Great quality print and paper."
"This label has just a bit of whimsy but is also fancy enough to put on a really nice letter. Proud to use as a address label to go to my family or some fancy situation, or to return a wedding invitation"
"This card is PERFECT! It turned out pretty much exactly as it looks online. The quality of the material, however, does seem a little cheap. But not enough so that I wouldn't order these again."
"The image you see in the sample on the website is exactly what you get in hard copy! Fonts are easily read and label size is appropriate for all letter sizes. I really liked the ability to customize the colors on the labels. Great quality too. Would recommend to a friend."

Gregg Williams is technically St. Louis Rams linebacker Brady Poppinga's defensive coordinator for at least a few more days. This didn't keep Poppinga from ripping Williams for orchestrating a bounty program while with the New Orleans Saints. Poppinga feels that strongly about a system the seven-year NFL veteran described with such terms as "degrading," "animalistic" and "repulsive" during a Thursday interview with FOXSports.com. "I just can't sit there and be silent," Poppinga said. "I look at this as an opportunity to share with the public that we, as football players, are not barbaric and out to try and destroy everything in our path. Football is my profession and I take it seriously. It's an art form. It's technical, strategic and takes a lot of intelligence to play.

Different tab colors for Tabber Widgets on different pages
Posted 21 April 2011 - 06:53 AM
I'm using Tabber Widget on two different Pages. I'd like the Tab font color and content to be different on each Page.
I am using Americana/Mojave theme, and there are 2 Widget Bar options in the Layout Manager: one is the Default, and one has a Dark Background. So, I need the font color of the Tabs the Tabber Widget that is on the Dark Background to be different from the Default Widget Background tabber widgets.
Not sure how to do that in the Tabber Widget CSS.
Here is the default Widget Bar with Tabber Widget, which I do not want to change: http://wordpressbygirlfriday.com/hcdg/our-dentists
Here is the Dark Background Widget Bar with the Tabber Widget, and I need to change the Tab font color for any Tabber Widgets that are in a Dark Background Widget Bar: http://wordpressbygirlfriday.com/hcdg/our-services
thanks very much!
Posted 21 April 2011 - 08:35 AM
Are you sure widget bars at http://wordpressbygirlfriday.com/hcdg/our-services have a custom module style set?
I don't see the Dark background style's class (widget-bar-dark-outer-wrapper) applied for the module's wrapper.

If I change the css style for the Tabber Widget font colore on the DEFAULT widget background style, it will change it for ALL widget backgrounds including the Dark widget background style.
The page using the Dark widget background is the way I want it to look: http://wordpressbygirlfriday.com/hcdg/our-dentists

In her speech at the Democratic convention, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said it made sense for Bush and McCain to be in the Twin Cities "because these days, they're awfully hard to tell apart." But Hurricane Gustav kept Bush away from the GOP gathering, perhaps a blessing for McCain. The last time they were together was May 27 at a Phoenix fundraiser.
McCain has tried to distance himself from Bush by attacking the early conduct of the Iraq war, while taking credit for the success of the temporary increase in U.S. troop levels he recommended last year. He also has split from the White House by proposing a global warming plan that would regulate industry emissions of greenhouse gases. Bush prefers a voluntary program.
McCain must avoid disrespecting Bush, who was backed by two-thirds of Republicans in a recent USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. "President Bush still has favorables among Republicans," GOP strategist Leslie Sanchez says. "He's also a good fundraiser."
4. Promote Palin's positives
McCain's unexpected selection of Palin to join his ticket creates a wild card in more ways than one.
"It is a huge gamble," says Gingrich, who nonetheless favors the choice. "She's going to make mistakes."
The reaction at the convention and among conservatives was instantly positive. But Palin's inexperience on national issues and limited international travel are certain to become issues in the campaign, along with continuing questions of how well McCain's staff vetted her and an ongoing probe into the governor's alleged misuse of power in getting an Alaska state trooper dismissed.
Palin has thrilled the GOP base with her stances against abortion rights and in favor of gun rights, as well as her personal story: mother of five, married to a union member, with an adult son headed for Iraq and an infant son born with Down syndrome.
"She sounds like the lady next door," says House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.
The combination of McCain's substance and Palin's biography could help with fundraising. "Sens. Obama and Biden have amassed a massive war chest, with hundreds of millions of dollars aimed at defeating me and John McCain," Palin says in a new fundraising appeal. As of Aug. 31, McCain had raised $222 million.
Less certain is Palin's impact on women who backed Clinton in the Democratic primaries.
Liberal women are unlikely to switch to someone whose positions on most issues are opposite to Clinton's. But blue-collar, moderate, independent women not yet sold on Obama could be up for grabs — as well as blue-collar, moderate, independent men.
"Anyone who's hunted moose is going to attract the attention of a lot of good hunters," says former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who got passed over for Palin.
5. Bolster economic credibility
If Obama's weak spot is foreign affairs, McCain's may be the economy — the subject that 43% of those polled in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll said was most likely to influence their vote. Only 15% cited the war in Iraq as their top concern, 14% said energy, and 11% said health care.
McCain has acknowledged that the economy isn't his strong suit. Democrats gleefully point to a 2007 comment he made that "the issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should."

Apr 15, 2015 Where Spies Go When They Don't Know
The earthy scent of musty books, men and women talking in hushed voices around large oak tables, librarians scurrying from aisle to aisle carrying tomes both old and new… As mysterious as this sounds, it is not the CIA Library of today.
The library at CIA Headquarters is a cutting edge research and information hub. Upon first glance, it looks like many other modern public libraries. Except here, among the periodicals and stacks of books on history, politics, and science, you will find volumes most Americans will never see. That's because the Agency's library is also home to the literature of secrets.
Founded in 1947, the CIA Library is a valuable resource to Agency employees. Although most of the books are unclassified and can be found at many community libraries and bookstores, the library includes many materials that are classified. That, and the library's location at CIA Headquarters, restrict its use to cleared personnel.
The Library provides all-source reference and research services to the Agency by leveraging access to more than 200 domestic and foreign online databases that together include over 90,000 full-text electronic periodicals, dissertations, photographs, biographical resources, and public records.
The Library's print collection includes journals, newspapers, and approximately 100,000 books. Together, these resources cover the fields of international affairs and political science, business and economics, science and technology, and topics of general and scholarly interest. The Library houses special collections on topics such as denial and deception. The Library also participates in interlibrary loans of circulating items with other government and public libraries.
Unique to the CIA Library is the Historical Intelligence Collection (HIC), which is primarily an open-source library dedicated to the collection, retention, and exploitation of material dealing with the intelligence profession. Currently, there are more than 25,000 books and extensive press clippings in the collection.
The oldest item in the HIC is a book on cryptography bound in vellum and published primarily in Latin in 1606. More recently, the Revolutionary War holdings, in particular those on Nathan Hale and Major John André, are extensive and provide a view of basic intelligence operations when good instincts rather than training were the only prerequisites.
To learn more about the CIA Library's HIC, see below:

Nov 04, 2014 444 Days in Tehran: The Story of CIA Officers Held Captive During the Iranian Hostage Crisis
It was a warm, sunny November morning when six CIA officers stationed at the US Embassy in Iran first heard the rumblings of a crowd amassing outside. A small group of mostly nonviolent protesters had been gathering near the Embassy for several weeks to demonstrate against US support for the exiled Iranian leader Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. This protest seemed no different. Then, slowly, the noise from the crowd changed, intensified, and grew closer. By mid-morning, a group of radical Islamist students breached the perimeter of the US Embassy on Takht-e-Jamshid Avenue in Tehran and took sixty-six Americans hostage. Fifty-two of the hostages, including the CIA officers, remained in captivity for 444 days. That was 35 years ago.
The Iranian hostage crisis began on November 4, 1979 and was one of the greatest US foreign policy crises of the last century. While much has been written about the crisis, this week we recount the story of two CIA officers who were held hostage during this critical point in American history.

Oct 02, 2014 2014 CIA Trailblazer Awards Presented
Last month, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan presented this year's Trailblazer Awards to Donald R. Cryer and another valued employee, whose work remains classified. The Trailblazer Awards were established in 1997 to recognize CIA officers who, by their actions, example, innovations or initiative, have taken the CIA in important new directions and helped shape the Agency's history. This year's honorees continue this tradition.
Since 2008, the CIA has recognized officers with an award for outstanding work in promoting diversity and inclusion to enhance the mission. In 2010, that award was officially renamed for Cryer, a 42-year veteran of the Agency and tireless advocate who laid the groundwork for CIA's diversity and inclusion programs. His concentration on building an inclusive, high-performing workforce through strategic planning, succession planning and success measurement—as well as his emphasis on removing obstacles and barriers that impede employee success—remains in effect today. Cryer attributes the accomplishments recognized by the Trailblazer Award to the host of people who mentored, supported and inspired him throughout his career.

Sep 15, 2014 CIA Reaches Deep to Feed Local Families
The "Feds Feed Families" food drive, which began in early June, concluded last month with Central Intelligence Agency officers having donated 11,798 pounds of food to local families at risk of hunger. This year's poundage nearly doubled the 2013 campaign, which accumulated about 6,300 pounds. All of the food donated by CIA was delivered to the Capital Area Food Bank, which distributed it to local families.
During the past five years, federal employees have donated more than 24 million pounds of food. Goods collected through the program are distributed to several hundred food banks, soup kitchens, and other service organizations across the metropolitan area. Food is processed quickly on a first-in, first-out basis and can take as little as two weeks to get to needy families.
Sep 05, 2014 CIA Unveils Portrait of Former Director Leon E. Panetta
Today, CIA honored the legacy of former Director Leon E. Panetta with the unveiling of his portrait, which joins those of his predecessors in the Agency's Directors' Gallery. Mr. Panetta served as CIA Director from February 2009 to June 2011, leading the Agency and managing human intelligence and open source collection programs on behalf of the Intelligence Community. At the portrait unveiling ceremony, CIA Director John Brennan spoke of Mr. Panetta's many achievements during his tenure at CIA, including the operation that killed the world's most wanted terrorist. In addition, Director Brennan praised the work of the artist, Steven Polson, who also painted the agency's official portraits of former directors George Tenet and General Michael Hayden.
Aug 29, 2014 #HISTINT: Aug. 29, 1959: Design Selected for Supersonic Successor to the U-2
On August 29, 1959 --55 years ago today-- an interagency panel selected Lockheed's 12th design for a supersonic successor to the U-2. The research and development program, codenamed OXCART began, and in1962, after arduous work by Lockheed and CIA program managers and technical officers, the first A-12 took flight. It took another three years for engineering challenges to be surmounted and the fleet to be declared operationally ready.

Archangel: CIA's Supersonic A-12 Reconnaissance Aircraft
Almost immediately after the recovery effort, planning began for a second mission to recover the lost section. A bizarre and totally unforeseen occurrence, however, had already started a chain of events that would ultimately expose the Glomar Explorer's true purpose and make another mission impossible. In June 1974, just before the Glomar set sail, thieves had broken into the offices of the Summa Corporation and stolen secret documents, one tying Howard Hughes to CIA and the Glomar Explorer. Desperate to recover this document, CIA called in the FBI, which in turn enlisted the Los Angeles Police Department. The search drew attention, and by the autumn of 1974 the media began to pick up rumors of a sensational story.
Director of Central Intelligence William E. Colby personally appealed to those who had learned about AZORIAN not to disclose the project. For a while they cooperated, but on February 18, 1975 the Los Angeles Times published an account that made connections between the robbery, Hughes, CIA, and the recovery operation. Journalists flooded into the Long Beach area where the Glomar was preparing for its second mission. The Ford Administration neither confirmed nor denied any of the stories in circulation, but by late June, the Soviets were aware of the Glomar's covert mission and had assigned a ship to monitor and guard the recovery site. With Glomar's cover blown, the White House canceled further recovery operations.
The Glomar's brief covert career was now over, and it was mothballed for over a quarter century. Then in the late 1990s, a US petroleum company restored the ship and used it for deep-sea oil drilling and exploration.
Although Project AZORIAN did not meet its full intelligence objectives, CIA considered the operation to be one of the greatest intelligence coups of the Cold War. Project AZORIAN remains an engineering marvel, advancing the state of the art in deep-ocean mining and heavy-lift technology
Sailing from Long Beach, California, the Glomar Explorer arrived over the recovery site on July 4, 1974 and conducted salvage operations for more than a month under total secrecy—despite much of the time being monitored by nearby Soviet ships curious about its mission. During the operation, many small things went wrong but were quickly corrected. However, during the lift when the submarine was a third of the way up, it broke apart, and a section plunged back to the ocean bottom. Crestfallen, the Glomar crew successfully hauled up the portion that remained in the capture vehicle.
Among the contents of the recovered section were the bodies of six Soviet submariners. They were given a formal military burial at sea. In a gesture of good will, Director of Central Intelligence Robert Gates presented a film of the burial ceremony to Russian President Boris Yeltsin in 1992.
Constructed over the next four years, the ship included a derrick similar to an oil-drilling rig, a pipe-transfer crane, two tall docking legs, a huge claw-like capture vehicle (known as Clementine), a center docking well (called the "moon pool") large enough to contain the hoisted sub, and doors to open and close the well's floor. To preserve the mission's secrecy, the capture vehicle was built under roof and loaded from underneath the ship from a submerged barge. With these special capabilities, the ship could conduct the entire recovery under water, away from the view of other ships, aircraft, or spy satellites.
The heavy-lift operation was complex and fraught with risk. While moving with the ocean currents, the ship had to lower the capture vehicle by adding 60-foot sections of supporting steel pipe, one at a time. When it reached the submarine, the capture vehicle then had to be positioned to straddle the sunken submarine, and its powerful jaws had to grab the hull. Then the ship had to raise the capture vehicle with the submarine in its clutches by reversing the lift process and removing supporting pipe sections one at a time until the submarine was securely stowed in the ship's docking well.

Accusations of bias and discrimination in the hiring process can create serious problems for businesses of any size. Litigation is costly, and reputational damage can repel talent and investors.
There's no foolproof way to prevent these incidents from occurring, but you can use business forms to ensure significant protection against allegations, preventing many of them before they have a chance to occur.
Equal Opportunity Forms
You can begin to take steps during the recruitment process. By including a monitoring form with job applications, you suggest to potential hires that you care about diversity and equality. A monitoring form typically asks about:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender
- Marriage Status
- Pregnancy and Maternity
- Race and/or Ethnicity
- Sexual Orientation
However, with each question, you must include an option not to answer, as it's against the law to require anyone to fill out these forms. What you can do is include a paragraph that explains why you're conducting the monitoring and outlines the benefits of having a diverse business. You should also stress that any information collected will remain strictly confidential at all times.
Protect yourself further by keeping detailed records when hiring an employee that include the pros and cons of each applicant, and why you made your final selection. Keep these records on file with other hiring forms and monitoring forms for each employee. This way, if there's a later dispute, you have written evidence protecting you from accusations of discrimination or bias.
Continuous Monitoring
Just as you'd ask a new hire to fill out a monitoring form, you can also complete the process with existing employees. This gives you an opportunity to learn exactly how diverse your company is. Then, you can adjust how you advertise for jobs. Certain avenues may only attract a certain race or gender, for instance.
Also, take a look at who tends to be promoted, who gets trained for which jobs, and leaves the organization. This information will tell you if there are certain problem areas that you need to work on in your business recruitment and ongoing policies.
Do not Enact Policy that's Inherently Discriminatory
Take a close look at your office policies. Certain rules and regulations may not appear obviously discriminatory, but do make work like more difficult for certain groups.
For example, certain rules regarding appearance and clothing may not be appropriate for women. Likewise, banning all forms of headwear can be accidentally discriminatory toward faiths that require headwear. Be honest with yourself, and modify any rules that could create problems down the line.
Sexual Harassment
One of the most troubling forms of discrimination is gender-based. Allegations of discrimination can swiftly turn into allegations of harassment. A business can reduce exposure to liability by providing all staff with a thoughtful sexual harassment policy which:
- States that there will be zero-tolerance for violations.
- Details all actions and communication that might be construed as creating a hostile work environment.
- Creates a clear procedure for complaints.
- Assures employees that they will be treated fairly and respectfully should they have cause to make allegations.
- Outlines all actions that will be taken against violators.
Equal opportunity forms are becoming standard practice for most businesses. To really prevent any accusations of bias or discrimination, however, you need to consider existing problem areas in your business first. Then, you can use your forms to address those concerns directly.
Be specific about your non-discrimination policy, and make sure and emphasize your business's commitment to diversity. Then, make sure that your business policies match those commitments. You can't guarantee that all your employees will be totally satisfied, but at least you'll have written evidence proving that you are aiming for a safe work environment.

great pants but sizeis misleading
These pants are plenty warm but the sizes run a tad small. I have an Xl jacket from the same company that fits perfect but the Xl pants are a tad snug. There's no waist adjustment. Other than that I love these pants. Blue is the way to go!

Hi. I am 6' and 205 lbs. What size do I need?
Click the View Sizing Chart button located above the Add To Cart button. That should help you determine your size. The other reviews say these pants run small, so my gut says you'll be happiest with size XL.
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
These pants fit like a straight leg jean. I have a 32 waist and had to exchange for the Large size. I could barely button up the Medium. I'm really stoked to find some snow this winter.
These pants runs small. I wear a 33 jeans, and couldn't even button the M (32-34). color is not a true red.
Cooper Hernsdorf
What color are the red pants then?
I have the red and they are a really great color. Red. I get a lot of compliments. I wear 32 waist Levis and they fit similar to that. A bit snug at first, but I'd rather them be a bit snug than falling off. I still wear a belt with them.
Love them
At first the pants felt tight but as long as I don't wear shorts or anything underneath it was a great fit. The boot gators are great for those powdery/fresh snow days. And the vents are essential for the warm days late season. They look great and provide the comfort needed.

Unnamed Quarry, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand
This extremely unusual Fluorite specimen is from the one-time-only find in the mid to late 1980's made in an unidentified "quarry" in Chiang Mai Province. There is a very real possibility that this locality is identical with the Bor Thong Mine, Ban Bo Thong, Prachin Buri Province, where Stibnite overcoated by Fluorite also is reported to occur. The chance of there being two localities for this very unique association is vanishingly small. Particularly since these two provinces are around three hundred miles apart. Whatever the correct locality may be, the fact that this is a wonderfully aesthetic combination of the two minerals. The transparency of the Fluorite allows the silvery, metallic character of the Stibnite to shine through the almost colorless coating like twigs beneath a coating of winter ice. Unlike many of the examples from this find that presented as one or two crystals, this has a matrix of a white mineral sprouting approximately forty "fingers" of Fluorite, each with a Stibnite prism as its core. Every 'Finger' bears thousands of tiny faces of considerable brilliance, producing a sparkle quite atypical for Fluorite. The whole piece looks more like an artwork from an alien glass factory than anything else. Condition is pristine and gorgeous. This may well be the best on the planet.
Overall measurements: 7 x 3.75 x 3.9 inches (17.8 x 9.5 x 9.9 cm).

Maybe mine was defective, but has a brittle white paper material in the middle that has been breaking off (and disintegrating) all over my floor. Item feels very cheap and flimsy.BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Same as before. I want this to light up all day and for sure all night. I can't be there to push the button all night long. Y'all didn't think this stuff out very well.

Dutch Agriculture Minister Hans Bleker signed an agreement with Jewish and Muslim religious leaders and slaughterhouses which will prevent a ban on ritual slaughter.
Under the agreement signed Tuesday, animals can continue to be ritually slaughtered as long as they lose consciousness within 40 seconds of their throats being cut. After 40 seconds they must be stunned, which is prohibited under both Jewish and Islamic law.
The agreement comes following Animal Rights Party leader Marianne Thieme withdrawal last December of a bill that would have required stunning of all animals before slaughtering, after a majority of senators expressed their objection to the ban on kosher slaughter, or shechitah. The measure had passed the lower house of the Dutch parliament in June 2011.
Dutch law had required animals to be stunned before slaughter but made an exception for Muslim halaal and Jewish shechitah. The Animal Rights Party says that more than two million animals are ritually
The European Union requires animals to be stunned before slaughter but makes exceptions for religiously mandated ritual slaughter. Nevertheless, ritual slaughter is banned in Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.

Recoverable reserves of natural gas in the United States have increased enormously in recent years as a result of new production technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Previously locked into shale formations, the flow of gas from these deep rocks is increasing every day.
Capstone Turbine Corporation, manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, recently announced that it has secured an order by Optimal Group for fifty Capstone C65s with integrated heat exchangers to be deployed in Australia. Optimal Group, Capstone's Australian distributor, placed the order for the microturbines, for the launch of an Optimal rental fleet.
Siemens and its Korean consortium partner Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co. handed over into commercial operation the Shuweihat S3 combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. With an installed electrical capacity of 1,600 MW, Shuweihat S3 will be operated by Shuweihat Asia O&M Company (SAOM).
Siemens has supplied the main components comprising four SGT5-4000F gas turbines, two SST5-4000 steam turbines, six generators (SGen5-1000A and SGen5-2000H), the electrical and SPPA-T3000 I&C (Instrumentation and Control) system.
Turbo compressors are a loud noise source because of the high power and speed. Most compressors produce a strong tonal noise component that varies over a wide frequency range from 1,000 Hz to 4,000 Hz, depending on the speed of the compressor and the number of impeller blades.
Elliott Group has been selected to replace an alkylation compressor train at a major Gulf Coast refinery. The project is expected to provide efficiency enhancements to eliminate process bottlenecks. The order includes a 46MBD4-4 compressor with a double flow configuration, driven by an SQV9 steam turbine, a lube oil console and a gas panel.
Power solutions company APR Energy recently announced a contract signature for a peaking power plant in Port Hedland, Pilbara, Western Australia. The power plant features four state-of-the-art GE TM2500+ dual-fuel turbines running on clean-burning natural gas.
GE's Energy Consulting business presented the findings of its frequency response study on wind power and grid resiliency. The study, which was sponsored by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory, modeled the country's Eastern Interconnection. The study of this large electrical system determined that when equipped with the appropriate modern plant controls, wind applications can substantially enhance grid resiliency.
Duke Energy recently announced Dynegy will buy its non-regulated Midwest Commercial Generation Business for $2.8 billion in cash, which includes ownership interests in 11 power plants and Duke Energy Retail Sales, the company's competitive retail business in Ohio.
The completion of the transaction is conditioned on approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act, and the release of certain credit support obligations. Closing is expected to occur in three to six months.
A new thermal power plant to be built in Armenia will supply electricity to neighboring Georgia, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Yervand Zakharian said recently. The announcement was made after a corresponding agreement was finalized with representatives of the company, Anaklia IEP Holding, on the second and final day of Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili's visit to Yerevan.
Compressor Controls Corporation recently released Ammonia Solutions, a Prodigy-based turbomachinery control system technology that is expected to maximize machine availability, increase production and reduce energy costs.

I am currently working on a "Basic Youth" set for Genesis which will include both a teen girl and teen boy shape. These have been in development for a while now and so should be surfacing in about another month, just finalizing some of the extra included morphs and the new texture sets, of which there will be one each for the boy and for the girl.
The boy will look much more boyish than in the preview below—he just has a V4 texture in this image, because his isn't finished yet, but this shows the basic shapes. These have all new joint parameters and any Genesis clothing will fit them perfectly.
You say Basic Youth. To me they look like Pre-Teen (10-12yo).
I would suggest you create 3 sets. Pre-Teen (10-12), Young Teen (13-16), Older Teen (17-19).
As well include a height/growth dial. Teens come in all height. Also head morph sets for these for variation. And for future you can consider texture sets for ethnic groups. I know my neighborhood looks like a rainbow.
Then it would have a range of age groups for those creating scenes for thing like say Harry Potter and other teen subject matter. I know I have considered making images for scenes from some of my favorite Fanfiction as a thankyou to the author. But found making a belivable teen with genesis is difficult. And like I mentioned before a height/growth dial would be useful. Using the Harry Potter reference as an example, Harry was short compared to his friend Ron. And the gap in height only got worse as they got older.
But the reason I suggest 3 set for age ranges is that faces change a lot for kids 10-19. You could easily include 10 age adjustment morphs for each of boys and girls for ages 10-19. So the 3 ranges I suggested are not that wild.
Anyway, hope to see this out soon. Ideally DAZ will simply come out with EVERY previous shape for genesis with autofit. So all those with previous collections of clothing for older shapes will be able to have those shapes in genesis.
