"If you stop learning, you are obsolete."
Entrepreneurs and intra-preneurs learn like crazy. (If you don't know what an intra-preneur is, check out this list of business terms). An intra-preneur is changing the game in his or her current company by breaking the rules, building new programs, and becoming indispensible within their company. An entrepreneur is building something new (often with limited resources) within or beyond the current system: a new company, a new way of communicating, a new way to organize people or things and space.
They learn by testing, iterating, observation, and becoming a sponge for knowledge. We soak in knowledge about our given fields of expertise, and we expand our skillsets by learning about correlating fields that complement and reflect our given fields, and we strive to be better in the specific areas within and related to our business.
Last year I read a book a week, which worked (on average) although I didn't always make it each week. (More often than not, I found time to read on planes...) Here's my hit list for my favorites from the past year--a list of 50 of the best books I've read in the last year. If you only have time to read three, start with The Social Animal, The Essential Drucker, and (well, this is hard to pick only three) ... Trust Agents. Those are the standouts for me this year.
Here are more than 50 great books for the next year, which include some of my all-time favorites from the past year. Consider this your "syllabus" for the next year, if you're committed to learning and growing. In many cases, notes are included, categorized by my areas of interest.Please note: I've purchased, read, marked-up and loved each of these books, below, and they occupy space on my bookshelves near and dear to my heart. I've linked to them directly to Amazon--which gives me a bit of money for referring my favorites if you decide to buy it (but by no means enough to quit my day job!)--and I also review some of these books in depth on this blog, so you could skip straight to the summaries if you wanted to. Regardless, that's the "behind the scenes" bits I have to tell you in my acts of curation.
If you know of some great ones I should check out, please leave a note in the comments. Enjoy!
"Learn like it's your job, your passion, your food, and your fuel. Learning is a necessity. Crave it."
Marketing & Advertising
- Tested Advertising Methods, by Prentice Hall Business Classics. A primer on all things copywriting and advertising.
- Positioning: The Battle For Your Mind, by Al Ries and Jack Trout. Considered the father of advertising and a guru of branding, marketing and product management, Trout brings together elements of psychology and user experience to show how to describe things to the people that matter to your business--your customers. It's not how you understand what you do; it's how well you explain it to others, in a way that stands out.
- Oglivy on Advertising. One of the premier advertising and sales books of all times. Oglivy is a genius. "Ogilvy's writing is captivating. His work, legendary. His ideas, timeless." I've only begun to dig into the genius in this book, and fully expect to have it dog-eared, flagged, marked, highlighted, and re-read multiple times over.
Information, Communication, Curation & Media
- Trust Agents, by Julien Smith and Chris Brogan. Destined to be a classic. How do people become online influencers? They do more than provide content: they establish valuable relationships, reputations, and utilize media to build trust relationships as leaders and agents in an increasingly interconnected, complex world.
- Information Anxiety 1 and Information Anxiety 2, both by Richard Saul Wurman, founder of the TED Conferences and author of 80+ books. For excerpts, check out this article. Issue 1 is out of print, but can be purchased used. Hat tip to Lauren Manning for pointing me to these books.
- In The Bubble: Designing in a Complex World. "We're filling up the world with technology and devices, but we've lost sight of an important question: What is this stuff for? What value does it add to our lives?" This is the premise of John Thackara's book. The book is all text and theory, about design but not visual in and of itself. Main thesis? That we're regaining respect for the abilities that people have--by becoming increasingly aware of what technology still can't do.
- Bruce Mao: Massive Change. One of the most visually-stunning, eye-candy laden books about the new inventions and technologies affecting the human race. A collection of stimulating essays and questions about how the world operates--and what designers and planners alike are doing about it.
- How to Think Like Great Graphic Designer, by Debbie Millman. A series of wonderful, thought-provoking, and deliciously accessible interviews with some of the 20th and 21st century's leading thinkers and designers. Highlighted all over, particularly the interview with Milton Glaser.
- Thinking with Type, Edition 2, by Ellen Lupton. One of my favorite books on typography, layout and style. Most font and style books don't give enough visual examples labeled and annotated to truly teach; this book is a definitive overview and beautiful guide to using typography, layout, and white space in print (and web) design.
- Information Architecture, by Christina Wodtke. The illustrations can be a bit kitchy at times, but the content and organization is great. A good overview of how information flow, diagramming, and understanding sequences chains is pertinent before starting major projects or designs.
- The Visual Miscellaneum. One of my favorite books to pick up with countless illustrations, diagrams, and information--visualized. Understanding how to show the story of data, and make information meaningful, is an arduous task. This is a collection of hundreds of beautiful examples. No more designers' block!
Business & Entrepreneurship
- Start With Why, by Simon Sinek. A review of some of the most innovative, influential people and organizations in the world. Start by building a foundation and culture that answers "Why" before you ask "What" or "How."
- The Personal MBA, by Josh Kaufmann. A $15 book in exchange for a $150,000 education? Seems like a no-brainer. A relevant resource that I consult repeatedly. How to build value, what a USP is, how to work well by yourself and with others, and fundamentals of starting your own business.
- The Accidental Entrepreneur, by Susan-Urquhart Brown. A shorter read, and less in-depth than Kaufmann's book, but still filled with valuable information and great advice for anyone starting out. Covers fundamentals of marketing, creating a business plan, and traits of successful entrepreneurs.
- ReWork, by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. In an earlier post, "Thirteen outstanding business ideas from ReWork," I cover the tips about the book in more detail. Read it. It's short, straight-forward, and outstanding.
- Enchantment
- Change by Design, by Tim Brown of Ideo. Theories about design-thinking and innovation: how good ideas happen, and the processes and rigors behind developing great ideas.
- End Malaria, edited by Michael Bungay Stanier. "62 Business thinkers pushing you to rethink the way you work." Ignore the title, albeit good; it's deceiving. This is a book of essays by some of the most brilliant across industries. Listen to them.
Management & Leadership
- The Essential Drucker - The Best Sixty Years of Peter Drucker's Essential Writings on Management. Considered the father of modern management, this book shifted how I think about the role of leadership and managing teams. Can't put it down.
- Confessions of a Public Speaker, by Scott Berkun. Funny as hell, and likeable. Sound advice through good stories.
Organization & Effectiveness
- Getting Things Done, by David Allen. I don't subscribe to all tactics GTD, but it did change how I thought about 2-minute tasks and the limitations of the human brain: we aren't wired for as much as we think we are. Figure out how to override your shortcomings and really find systems that work.
- Making Ideas Happen, by Scott Belksy and the founder of Behance. The system is different than GTD (focused on the action method), but another good way of re-configuring how you do your best work.
- Life After College, by Jenny Blake. Crowd-sourced tips on being awesome, figuring shit out, and getting beyond the craziness of life in your early twenties. Check out the full-length review here, with references to Jenny's super-human powers, wonder-woman outfits, and killer heels.
- The Accidental Creative, by Todd Henry. Strategies for becoming a creative, even if you feel like you aren't one. Don't think you need this? Todd argues that we all are creatives now--it's no longer enough just do do your job.
- The Four-Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferriss. I was skeptical of this at first, given that the man spent 15+ years testing and tweaking strategies obsessively all in the name of being able to eventually work 4-hours per week; but if you want to learn how to game the system, watch a man who does it well. (I suppose my ire is more suited towards the wannabes that followed who promised lifestyle design success--without any of the core research to back it up.)
- The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey. Another mind-blowing organization and strategy book. My favorite premise is that the highest form of being is interdependence, and not independence or dependence. We need more thinking like this, particularly in our image-centric, ego-centric, independent entrepreneurial world. We definitely do not do any of it alone.
- How We Decide, by Jonah Lehrer. One of my favorite psychology writers of all time; constantly reveals how our brains work and what's going on inside our strange heads.
- Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, by Robert Cialdini. "Influence is a science." It's not magic; and Cialdini outlines six principles for how people relate to each other, socially, and why tools like reciprocity, scarcity, and liking affect how we interact with each other. And it's fun to read.
- Made to Stick, Chip Heath and Dan Heath. All about making ideas sticky, and the psychology of how we remember things.
- Predictably Irrational, by Dan Riley. The peculiarities of being human, and how and why we repeatedly behave weirdly.
- The Elements of Persuasion, by Richard Maxwell and Robert Dickman. Master storytelling will get you further in persuading people - effectively getting them to do what you want. And in work and life, don't you want to get what you want?
- The Social Animal, by David Brooks. Possibly--actually--my favorite book out of this entire list. A story that reads like fiction, Brooks reveals thousands of interesting insights about the human condition, all through the lens of a pair of people growing up, falling in love, and growing apart (and together again) over time. The unconscious mind is phenomenal.
- The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, by Neil Strauss. I'm not sure if this is a true story or not, but as a woman living in a city, this certainly opened my eyes to the games being played all around us.
- Traffic, by Tom Vanderbilt. The subtitle, "why we drive the way we do - and what that says about us," tells us that it's more about our quirks as humans than about the fact that we've gone and made entirely awful-yet-awesome transportation systems designed around 10,000 pound steel structures. Good read, but not mind-blowing. Full review here.
Inspiration & Motivation
- Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamott. A book on writing and life, and all the zany-crazy-personality quirks in between. Fluttering between self-deprecation and frank honesty, Lamott tells the story of the difficulty of writing and getting out of our own way. Humorous at times and painful at others, I have owned this book for more than 10 years and refer to it readily whenever I experience my own writers' block.
- Swimming to Antarctica, by Lynne Cox, one of the greatest open-water swimmers there ever was.
- Do The Work, by Stephen Pressfield. Also going to add in his other one, "The War Of Art" -- both are brilliant ass-kickers to doing the work and actually getting out of your own way to do something.
- The Flinch, by Julien Smith. How and why to lean into discomfort, pain, and discipline: it's not about being comfortable. It's about getting comfortable being uncomfortable, and doing the painful or scary things. Without flinching.
- The Millionaire Next Door, by Thomas Stanley and William Danko. Frank and reasonable sense about how ordinary-looking people with small-to-modest homes become millionaires by accumulation, not spending. A good reminder for me personally to worry less about "things" and "stuff" and focus on what matters (and what's within my means).
- Naked Economics, by Charles Wheelan. One of the first books that made economics make sense to me. Described the ins and outs of inflation, capital markets and finance to me. To be fair, I read this book for the first time a few years' back and went back through it again this year, because it makes economics fascinating and interesting--and I got a bit out of the book the second time around, as well.
- I Will Teach You To Be Rich, by Ramit Sethi. The full review, "$10 for a financial wizard" covers my thoughts in detail. Worth the read for it's psychological understanding of how we actually behave around and with money, and the idiotic things we say we'll do, but never actually end up doing.
All-Around Favorites
- What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, by Haruki Murakami (and almost anything and everything by Haruki Murakami!). Essays from running, writing, and doing both over time. Beautiful.
- Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall. Just don't buy vibrams and start running half marathons straight away. Then you're an idiot.
- To Have and Have Not. Ernest Hemingway. Classic.
- The World Without Us, by Alan Weisman. What would become of the world without humans? How would cities fall and crumble, how would the ecology of place change, what would rust and tumble?
- Ender's Game. Have read and re-read probably ten or more times.
- The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. Depressing, by all means, but I stayed up until 5 AM just to finish this book.
- Last Child In The Woods, by Richard Louv. Reviewed over here, and one of the reasons why I love my job(s).

COLUMBIA, Missouri -- Laurence Bowers had 24 points and 11 rebounds in his final home game, contributing to a rough evening for old coach Mike Anderson's first appearance as a visitor and helping Missouri finish unbeaten at home with a 93-63 rout over Arkansas on Tuesday night.
Fellow senior Jabari Brown helped finish off the Razorbacks early with 13 of his 23 points in a dominant first half with the Tigers (22-8-11-6 SEC) leading 48-22. The third senior, Alex Oriakhi, had 10 points and eight rebounds and topped 1,000 career rebounds.
BJ Young had 27 points for Arkansas (18-12, 9-8), which shot just 31 percent in the first half while going 1 for 15 from 3-point range. The Razorbacks surrendered a season high in points.
Missouri finished 17-0 at home for its second unbeaten slate in five years. The Tigers shot 58 percent in the first half and 57 percent the rest of the way.

Glimpse the extravagant and detailed displays of the male Sharp-tailed Grouse as they attempt to attract females in the hills of northern Wyoming.
Sharp-tailed Grouse: Battle to Breed
Male Sharp-tailed Grouse, Tympanuchus phasianellus, form leks before and during the breeding
season. A lek is a mating arena, in which males meet to compete for territory, and display to attract
females. The intensity of these activities is driven by the simple fact that only a few males on a
given lek will win the majority of matings. This leads to continual fighting and extravagant displays
as all strive to outdo each other and win the opportunity to breed.
As grassy habitat gives way to development, suitable terrain in which these and other North
American grouse species can lek becomes more scarce. Sharp-tailed Grouse
populations have declined over much of their range.
Lek densities provide an index to populations of this
remarkable bird, and indirectly reflect changes in habitat
quality. Populations generally respond to habitat
management practices that increase or protect
food sources, as well as nesting and winter
habitats. Programs such as the Conservation
Reserve Program (CRP) can help landowners build
habitat to support this and other grassland species.

Head over to Gaikai's redesigned website and you'll get an eyefull of teased upcoming games for the cloud-based gaming service.
While details remain extremely scarce, images of cross-platform and Sony PlayStation 3 exclusives can be seen, including games like Mass Effect 3 and Uncharted.
Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet is there, and so is Naughty Dog's Nathan Drake.
In other words, big things are coming to Gaikai now that it's been acquired by Sony.
It's too early to say exactly what this means for gamers, or in what fashion these games will be available.
Gaikai isn't saying how the service will tie into Sony's platforms, noting only that "Games are uploaded to our data centers located broadly around the world. They are then streamed using high-end servers to internet-connected devices, similar to the way videos are streamed to your computer, except interactively. Our technology is such that we can stream the world's most graphically rich video games and other content instantly to almost any device, anywhere."
Any device, anywhere. That's certainly interesting. Since the service is apparently coming to mobile phones, this could be pretty huge.
Does this mean you'll be able to play Uncharted 3 on your PC? On your mobile phone? Will the cloud-based gaming service help flesh out the scrappy catalog on the struggling PS Vita?
One way or another it certainly looks as though Sony will be branching out beyond its consoles.
It also looks as though Gaikai will be launching its post-Sony service prior to any launch of the PS4, though undoubtedly the PS4 will somehow integrate cloud-based gaming into its framework, possibly adding some serious server-side power to its next-gen gaming console, adding a whole new layer of speculation to the next console's spec sheet rumors.
Gaikai promises more information soon.
Cloud-based gaming is still in its infancy, of course – OnLive's epic downfall proves that well enough. But that doesn't mean the cloud isn't the future.
I can see pros and cons to a cloud-based future, quite frankly, but I hope Sony isn't moving ahead too quickly with this.
The Gaikai acquisition may indeed turn out to be a very smart, very bold move on Sony's part, but it's not a sure bet by any means. Not by a long shot.

Core Curriculum
The Core is required of all Susquehanna students, and forms the broad liberal arts base for specialized study in any field. All Core courses emphasize:
- the interconnectedness of knowledge, encouraging students to cross boundaries between disciplines;
- critical thinking, preparing students to draw sound conclusions from observation and research, and to apply both logic and insight in seeking creative solutions to problems;
- education for citizens of the world, developing in students an understanding of the diverse human community; and
- integration of the learning experience, cultivating each student's whole mind, talents and capabilities.
The Core is organized in three major segments, with choices in each area shown below. Honors Program students complete Core requirements through specially designed courses shown in italics. Course descriptions are found in departmental sections of the catalog.
I. Personal Development. Core Perspectives allows students to assess the purpose and nature of a college education. This course is included in the Core requirements to help students have a smooth adjustment to college life, and it is taken in the first semester.
Personal Development
|2 semester hours
|PRDV:104 Core Perspectives
II. Intellectual Skills. This area of the Core ensures that each student has the opportunity to develop and demonstrate the skills important to success in college: critical thinking and writing; mathematics and logic; and foreign language competency.
A. Transition Skills. Placement materials in mathematics and foreign language determine the beginning level of study for each student; those who can demonstrate mastery may earn exemption from the first two skill requirements.
|Foreign Language

B. Continuing Skills Development. To develop their intellectual skills across the curriculum, all students complete eight semester hours in writing-intensive courses identified in each semester's registration schedule. Honors Program students complete this requirement partly through HONS:290 Sophomore Essay and HONS:500 Senior Honors Research. Research-intensive courses develop information retrieval skills utilizing the library and tools for electronic access, including the Internet. These skills are developed in the Writing and Thinking (or Thought); each academic department then offers a research-intensive course for majors, which focuses on the tools and techniques important to that specific area of study.
III. Perspectives on the World. Courses in this section of the Core explore the past, present and future of civilization. They include the experience and contributions of women, minorities and non-Western cultures. They also continue to develop the basic academic skills.
A. Heritage. Great ideas, creations, events and people that have shaped history.

|Briana Gross '11 notched two assists.
HARTFORD, Conn. – Sophomore Rachel Romanowsky scored four times to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 13-5 win over the visiting Bates College Bobcats in NESCAC women's lacrosse action this afternoon in a steady rain on Sheppard Field. Trinity, ranked No. 9 in the nation, improves to 9-2 overall and 5-2 in the NESCAC with its second win in a row, while the Bobcats fall to 7-5 overall and 3-4 in the league with their first loss in three games.
Trinity scored three straight goals over the first 4:35 of the second half to take a 5-2 lead, and outscored Bates, 7-0, over the final 17:49 of the game after the Bobcats had pulled to within one on a goal by senior co-captain midfielder Caroline Thomas (Barrington, R.I.). Romanowsky converted a free position 3:44 into the second stanza to begin the 3-0 spurt, and junior midfielder Sarah Remes did the same to ignite the 7-0 run that put the game out of reach. Thomas's goal was her 39th this season, a new career-high total.
Bates used the combination of solid defense and goalkeeping and a patient offense to secure a 2-2 tie at the break. Bobcat junior attacker Molly Radis (Peaks Island, Maine) opened the scoring 9:10 into the game, but Trinity answered with back-to-back goals by junior attacker Jenn Calver and Romanowsky. Bates junior attacker Molly Dilworth (Yarmouth, Maine) scored with 2:31 left in the first half to knot the game.
Trinity sophomore midfielder Alisen Urquhart contributed two goals and one assist, while Calver and senior Lauren Peck each scored twice. Peck also paced Trinity with six ground balls, while freshman goalie Gina Dinallo made five saves in the Bantam goal. Trinity outshot Bates, 38-14, and won 14 out of 19 draw controls. Sophomore midfielder Brianna Gross (Andover, Mass.) tallied a pair of assists and sophomore Mara Krueger (St. Louis, Mo.) made 11 stops in goal for the Bobcats.

Home Semester Plans Academic Minors University Certificates GEP Course Lists CourseLeaf Curriculum Management
Requirement: (3 credit hours)
A total of three credit hours in the Additional Breadth category must be selected from the university approved GEP course lists that represent an approach to scholarship that is clearly distinct from the primary approach of the Major. These two approaches are distinguished for GEP purposes as "Humanities/Social Sciences/Visual and Performing Arts" or the "Mathematics/Natural Sciences/Engineering".
Note: At this time, there is no Engineering course list.
One purpose of the General Education Program is to introduce students to a variety of disciplines. To this end, students are required to successfully complete a course from a general education category list that represents an approach to scholarship that is clearly distinct from the primary approach of their major. Determining an appropriate group of lists from which their students choose is an exercise in judgment best left to faculty in the major; accordingly, each program will select the group of lists from which their majors will choose a course to fulfill this requirement (either the group "Humanities/Social Sciences/Visual and Performing Arts" or the group "Mathematics/Natural Sciences/Engineering"). The program faculty's selection will be reviewed through appropriate college-level mechanisms and then be subject to review by CUE.

"This ring is inspired by the famous wailing wall of Israel. Throughout the day, in Israel, the sun is in various positions that causes different shades of colors to be seen in the wall's stones." -- Michelle Albala
Crafted in sterling silver with 18K yellow vermeil plating, this ring features a rectangle shape with row of exotic gemstones. You will find nine round brilliant cut 1.75mm gemstones in your choice of neon blue apatite, pink tourmalines, fire opals or chrome diopsides. The gemstones have been bezel set over a textured band.
The total weight of the chrome diopside is 0.20ct, the total apatite weight is 0.22ct, the total tourmaline weight is 0.14ct and the total fire opal weight is 0.10ct (all approximate). The ring measures 1/7"L x 7/9"W x 2/7"H.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:

Quick Links
absorbed dose (D) - The energy imparted per unit mass by ionizing radiation to matter at a specific point. The SI unit of absorbed dose is joule per kilogram (J kg-1). The special name for this unit is gray (Gy). The previously used special unit of absorbed dose, the rad, was defined to be an energy absorption of 100 ergs/gram. Therefore, 1 Gy = 100 rad.
activity - Quantity of a radionuclide which describes the rate at which decays occur in an amount of a radionuclide. The SI unit of radioactivity is the becquerel (Bq), which replaced the old unit, the curie (Ci). One becquerel corresponds to 1 disintegration of a radionuclide per second.
alpha particle (a) - A positively charged particle emitted by radioactive material. It consists of two neutrons and two protons bound together; hence, it is identical with the nucleus of a helium atom. It is the least penetrating of the three common types of radiation -- alpha, beta, and gamma -- and it is stopped by a sheet of paper. It is not dangerous to plants, animals, or humans unless the alpha-emitting substance has entered the organisms. Alpha particles are ejected from a nucleus during the decay of some radioactive elements; for example, an alpha particle is emitted when either of the radon progeny polonium-218 or polonium-214 decays.
alpha ray - A stream of alpha particles. Used loosely as a synonym for alpha particles.
atom - A particle of matter indivisible by chemical means. It is the fundamental building block of the chemical elements, which differ from each other because they contain different kinds of atoms. According to present-day theory, an atom contains a dense inner core, the nucleus, and a much less dense outer domain consisting of electrons in motion around the nucleus. Atoms are electrically neutral. Compare with ion, molecule. See also matter.
beam - A stream of particles or electromagnetic radiation moving in a single direction.
becquerel (Bq) - SI unit of radioactivity, corresponding to one radioactive disintegration per second. See activity.
beta particle (b) - An elementary particle emitted from a nucleus during radioactive decay, with a single electrical charge and a mass equal to 1/1837 of that of a proton. A negatively charged beta particle is identical to an electron. A positively charged beta particle is called a positron. Beta radiation may cause skin burns, and beta emitters are harmful if they enter the body. Beta particles, however, are easily stopped by a thin sheet of metal.
biologically effective dose (BED) - In fractionated radiotherapy, the total dose that would be required in very small dose fractions to produce a particular effect, as indicated by the linear-quadratic equation. Otherwise known as 'extrapolated total dose' (ETD). BED values calculated for different a/b ratios are not strictly comparable.
Bremsstrahlung x rays - Literally translated "braking radiation;" these are x rays resulting from interaction of a projectile electron with a target nucleus.
cell cycle - Sum of the phases of growth of an individual cell type; divided into G1 (gap 1), S (DNA synthesis), G2 (gap 2), and M (mitosis); the cycle of cellular events from one mitosis to the next.
centromere - The chromosome constriction to which the spindle fiber attaches. The position of the centromere determines whether chromosomes are metacentric (X-shaped; e.g., chromosomes 1, 3, 16, 19, 20) or acrocentric (inverted V-shaped; e.g., chromosomes 13-15, 21, 22, Y). During mitosis the identical chromatids of each chromosome are separated by shortening of the spindle fibers attached to opposite poles of the dividing cell.
charged particle - An ion; an elementary particle that carries a positive or negative electric charge.
chromosomal aberration - Any change resulting in the duplication, deletion, or rearrangement of chromosomal material.
chromosomal instability - An effect of irradiation in which chromosomal aberrations continue to appear through many cell generations.
clonogenic cells - Cells that have the capacity to produce an expanding family of descendants (usually at least 60). Also called 'colony-forming cells' or 'clonogens'.
Cobalt-60 - A radioactive substance used as a radiation source to treat cancer.

colony - A group of identical cells derived from a single ancestor cell.
Compton effect - Scattering of x rays resulting in ionization and loss of energy; the energy lost by the photon is given to the ejected electron as kinetic energy.
curie (Ci) - Old unit of radioactivity, corresponding to 3.7 x 1010 radioactive disintegrations per second. Now replaced by the becquerel.
deterministic effect - An effect for which the severity of the effect in affected individuals varies with the dose, and for which a threshold usually exists.
dicentric chromosome - A chromosome having two centromeres.
differentiation - The process of complex changes by which cells and tissues attain their adult structure and functional capacity.
direct action - Ionization or excitation of atoms within DNA leading to free radicals, as distinct from the reaction with DNA of free radicals formed in nearby water molecules.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) - An organic acid composed of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) linked via sugar and phosphate units. DNA is the genetic material of most organisms and usually exists as a double-stranded molecule in which two antiparallel strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between adenine-thymine and cytosine-guanine base pairs.
dose - General term for the quantity of radiation. See absorbed dose, equivalent dose, effective dose, collective effective dose.
dose rate - The radiation dose delivered per unit time and measured, for instance, in Gy per hour.

doubling dose - the radiation dose required to double the spontaneous mutation rate.
early responses - Radiation-induced normal-tissue damage that is expressed in weeks to a few months after exposure. Generally due to damage to parenchymal cells. a/b ratio tends to be large.
effective dose - The radiation dose allowing for the fact that 1) some types of radiation are more damaging than others, and 2) some parts of the body are more sensitive to radiation than others. It is defined as the sum over specified tissues of the products of the equivalent dose in a tissue (T) and the weighting factor for that tissue (WT).
electromagnetic radiation - Radiation consisting of associated and interacting electric and magnetic waves that travel at the speed of light; in order of increasing energy these include radio waves, visible light, x rays, and gamma rays. All electromagnetic radiation can be transmitted through a vacuum.
electron (e) - An elementary particle with a unit negative electrical charge and a mass 1/1837 that of the proton. Electrons surround the positively charged nucleus and determine the chemical properties of the atom. Positive electrons, or positrons, also exist.

equivalent dose (HT) - A quantity used for radiation-protection purposes that takes into account the different probability of effects which occur with the same absorbed dose delivered by radiations with different WR values. It is defined as the product of the averaged absorbed dose in a specified organ or tissue (DT) and the radiation weighting factor (WR) values. If dose is in gray (Gy), equivalent dose is in sieverts (Sv).
fast neutrons - Neutrons with energy greater than approximately 100,000 eV (electron volts). Compare intermediate neutrons, prompt neutrons, thermal neutrons.

Gamma rays are very penetrating and are stopped best or shielded against by dense materials, such as lead or depleted uranium. Gamma rays are indistinguishable from x rays except for their source. Gamma rays originate inside the nucleus; x rays from outside.
genetic counseling - Analysis of risk for genetic defects in a family and the presentation of options available to avoid or ameliorate possible risks.

heritable effects - Changes in reproductive cells that may result in abnormal offspring of persons or animals.
indirect action - Damage to DNA by free radicals formed through the ionization of nearby water molecules.
ion - An electrically charged atom or group of atoms.
ion pair - A closely associated positive ion and negative ion (usually an electron) having charges of the same magnitude and formed from a neutral atom or molecule by radiation.

ionization chamber - A device for detection of ionizing radiation or for measurement of radiation dose and dose rate.
ionizing radiation - Any radiation displacing electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby producing ions. Examples of ionizing radiation are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-radiation and short-wave ultraviolet light. Ionizing radiation may produce severe skin or tissue damage. See radiation burn, radiation illness.
isotopes - Forms of a chemical element that have the same number of protons and electrons, but differ in the number of neutrons contained in the atomic nucleus. Unstable isotopes undergo a transition to a more stable form with the release of radioactivity.
kilovolt (kV) - A unit of electrical potential difference equal to 1,000 volts.
late responses - Radiation-induced normal-tissue damage that in humans is expressed months to years after exposure. Generally due to damage to connective tissue cells. a/b ratio tends to be small (< 5 Gy).

linear energy transfer (LET) - The rate of energy loss along the track of an ionizing particle. Usually expressed in keV/mm.
metaphase - The stage of cell division in which the condensed chromosomes lie in a central plane between the two poles of the cell, and in which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
mitosis - Process of nuclear division in which chromosomes move along a spindle resulting in two new nuclei with the same number of chromosomes as the original nucleus.
mutation - A relatively stable change in the DNA of the cell nucleus. Mutations in the germ cells of the body (ova and sperm) may lead to inherited effects in the offspring. Mutations in the somatic cells of the body may lead to effects in the individual, e.g., cancer.
mutation rate - The frequency with which mutations take place at a given locus or in a population.
neutron (n) - An uncharged elementary particle with a mass slightly greater than that of the proton and found in the nucleus of every atom heavier than hydrogen. A free neutron is unstable and decays with a half-life of about 13 minutes into an electron, a proton, and a neutrino. Neutrons sustain the fission chain reaction in a nuclear reactor.
particle - A minute constituent of matter, generally one with a measurable mass. The primary particles involved in radioactivity are alpha-particles, beta-particles, neutrons, and protons.
photoelectric effect - Absorption of an x ray by ionization.
photon - The carrier of a quantum of electromagnetic energy. Photons have an effective momentum but no mass or electric charge.
positron (b+) - An elementary particle with the mass of an electron but charged positively. It is the "anti-electron." It is emitted in some radioactive disintegrations and is formed by the interaction of high-energy gamma-rays with matter.
proton - An elementary particle that is a component of all nuclei with a single positive electrical charge and a mass approximately 1837 times that of the electron. The nucleus of an ordinary or light hydrogen atom. The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus.
rad - The old unit of absorbed dose, equivalent to an energy absorption of 10-2 J/kg. Superseded by the gray. See absorbed dose.
radiation - The emission and propagation of energy through matter or space by means of electromagnetic disturbances that display both wave-like and particle-like behavior; in this context the "particles" are known as photons. Also, the energy so propagated. The term has been extended to include streams of fast-moving particles, such as alpha- and beta-particles, free neutrons, and cosmic radiation. Nuclear radiation is that emitted from atomic nuclei in various nuclear reactions, including alpha-, beta-, and gamma-radiation and neutrons.
radiation (ionizing) - Any electromagnetic or particulate radiation capable of producing ions, directly or indirectly, by interaction with matter. Examples are x rays, photons, charged atomic particles and other ions, and neutrons.
radiation absorbed dose - See rad.
radiation weighting factor - Approximate values of the relative biological effectiveness, applicable to low doses and relevant to carcinogenesis and hereditary effects. Radiation weighting factors are chosen by the ICRP based on experimental relative biological effectiveness values with a large judgment factor.
radioresistance - A relative resistance of cells, tissues, organs or organisms to the harmful action of radiation.
radiosensitivity - (1) A relative susceptibility of cells, tissues, organs, or organisms to the effects of radiation. (2) The radiation dose required to produce a defined level of cell inactivation. Usually indicated by the surviving fraction at 2 Gy (i.e., SF2) or by the parameters of the linear-quadratic or multitarget equations.
relative biological effectiveness (RBE) - A factor used to compare the biological effectiveness of different types of ionizing radiation. It is the inverse ratio of the amount of absorbed radiation, required to produce a given effect, to a standard (or reference) radiation required to produce the same effect.
rem - Old unit of equivalent or effective dose. It is the product of absorbed dose (in rad) and the radiation weighting factor. 1 rem = .01 Sv.
repair - Restoration of the integrity of damaged macromolecules.
reproductive integrity - Ability of cells to divide many times and thus be "clonogenic."
scattered radiation - Radiation that, during passage through matter, is changed in direction (the change is usually accompanied by a decrease in energy).
sievert (Sv) - SI unit of equivalent dose or effective dose. 1 Sv = 100 rem.
sublethal damage - Non-lethal cellular injury that can be repaired or accumulated with further dose to become lethal.
stochastic effect - Effects, the probability of which, rather than their severity, is a function of radiation dose without threshold. (More generally, stochastic means random in nature).
thermal neutrons - Neutrons in thermal equilibrium with their surrounding medium. Thermal neutrons are those that have been slowed down by a moderator to an average speed of about 2200 m/s (meters per second) at room temperature from the much high initial speeds that they had when expelled by fission.
thymine dimer - A pair of adjacent thymine bases in a single polynucleotide strand between which chemical bonds have formed. This lesion, usually the result of damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet light, inhibits DNA replication unless repaired by the appropriate enzyme system.
x ray - A penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation emitted either when the inner orbital electrons of an excited atom return to their normal state (these are characteristic x rays) or when a metal target is bombarded with high-speed electrons. X rays are always non-nuclear in origin.

House and Senate Democrats are trying again to renew a federal program protecting women against domestic violence.
Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, one of the original authors of the act, stood with other female representatives on Wednesday to announce the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
The Violence Against Women Act, which first became law in 1994, was held up in the last session of Congress when both the House and Senate failed to reach a compromise. Congresswoman Slaughter urged lawmakers not to wait any longer to reinstate the bill.
"We must not wait. It should never have come to this point. ever. If we have to put it on suspension, whatever we have to do, people are waiting out there for us to continue what we've done since 1994, until we don't see this anymore," she said.
Democrats have agreed to remove a provision that sparked Republican opposition last year. The provision would have increased visas for immigrants who are the victims of domestic violence.
The Violence Against Women Act was extended twice, once in 2000 and again in 2005.

Wellman one-hits Parkersburg
SPRING VALLEY - On a warm Friday afternoon at Spring Valley, it didn't take long for Timberwolves' pitcher Elijah Wellman to get his arm ready to pitch.
Wellman, who saw late-season arm pain creep up a bit last season, looked in command from the onset against Parkersburg, striking out 13 and allowing just one hit in a 5-1 Spring Valley win over the Big Reds.
"I felt the groove a little earlier than I normally do," Wellman said. "I usually don't hit it until the third or fourth inning, but today I was feeling hot and came out and was in that groove."
Wellman started the game by striking out Parkersburg's first six batters - all three in the first inning looking and all three in the second inning swinging.
His job was made much easier by an offense that gave him five runs of cushion in those first two frames.
Wellman jumpstarted the offensive charge, lacing a triple to deep right-center field and scoring when the relay throw to third bounded into the Spring Valley dugout.
Four pitches later, Colby Webb took a 1-2 pitch out of the park in left field to build a 2-0 cushion.
After Wellman struck out the side in the second, the Timberwolves got an RBI double by Tyler Radcliffe that scored Caleb Frye, who led off the inning with a single.
After courtesy runner Greg Herbert scored following a throwing error, Alex Combs ripped a two-out double to score Zack Harvey to make it 5-0.
"If you get him a few runs then he's tough to beat," Spring Valley coach Jim Hensley said. "The only thing is that it makes our defense relax because Elijah is throwing strikes and he's got run support. Then you boot a ball you should field."
The play Hensley spoke of accounted for Parkersburg's lone run of the contest.
After Jeff Davis broke up Wellman's no-hit bid with a double off the fence in left to start the fifth, he scored on a grounder from Damon Ribeiro that snuck underneath the glove of Frye at second.
Three of Wellman's four walks came in the final inning as he walked the bases loaded with one out, but he got Parkersburg's Anthony Kist looking before getting Austin Alatorre swinging on three pitches to end it.
"That's his nature," Hensley said of Wellman. "He's used to walking the bases loaded then striking out the side. That's just the way he is."
Webb finished 2-for-2 in the contest for Spring Valley, who hosts Huntington High at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
SPRING VALLEY 230 000 x - 5 7 1
Parker and Cafego. Wellman and Radcliffe. Hitting: (P) Davis 2B. (SV) Webb 2-2, HR, RBI; Wellman 3B; Radcliffe 2B, RBI; Combs 2B, RBI.

I am so tired. Sososososososo tired. No, not just tired but bone-wearingly, exhausted.
I remember being tired with my DD, even with my lost pregnancies, but this is crazy.
Within an hour of getting up in the morning, I'm ready for a nap. By afternoon, I can hardly summon the will to read a book to my little bookworm. I just want to curl in a ball and close my eyes and sleep, sleep, sleep.
Of course, it doesn't help that I'm suffering from middle of the night insomnia.
R~Mama to my sweet A 7//07 & bubbly Z 3/12
AND due 9/13
Yes. Exactly.
Mama to Lauren Philippa Elethea (3) and expecting a little Jay bird March 2012!
I'm not sleepy, but I feel exhausted. Like just lifting my arms or walking is too much effort.
Me too!
Tired to the core. I can sleep for the first few hours after I go to bed but then wake up and can't fall back to sleep until the sun starts to come up and then my boys wake up =(. Luckily I don't have any problem falling asleep durring the boy's nap time.
twin boys born 11/28/08, pregnant with #3 due 3/13/12
i feel so so so tired, and am glad that yl feel the same. Drives me a little nuts. It doesn't help that we are having a crazy heat wave too. I'm so unmotivated! At least I'm getting a lot of reading done... that is something I suppose.
Tonight I went to the store to buy everything needed to make homemade pizza, came home, put it all on the counter, pulled out the cutting board, walked over to the phone and ordered in.
this is so not how I usually am. i love to cook. tonight though it just was not going to happen. oh well.
I have Stiff Person Syndrome and my other car is a candy apple red Rascal. Feel free to ask me about it.

I recently saw the flashlight string and had some new info I thought might be worthwhile. I started this string simply as a way to get the info out more quickly than if it was just posted at the end of the existing string – hope that's ok
Before going any further, if you're just skimming the top here, let me mention a really nice flashlight holder I saw on one of the sites I mention below – it's called the FlashlightPal and their web site is here:
They have a Youtube video that's pretty good. Their site links (on their top bar) to a site where they sell it online for $18.50. Possibly a bit on the high side for a flashlight holder, but I'll use something like this every day and if the quality will stand up to the daily use I'll put it through, then it's worth it.
I stumbled onto the "flashlight community" by accident a few months ago.
Flashlights and the new technologies driving higher, brighter outputs are just exploding right now. The crappy old single bulb flashlight will be completely gone from store shelves in 5 years, if not a lot sooner. The biggest blog for people crazy about flashlights and all things flashlight is CandlePowerForums.com. There is more stuff going on here than you can imagine and more info than the normal person can ever handle. There are some excellent discussions and some awesome knowledge available from the people there. By way of mentioning, there are also some excellent videos on YouTube that showcase this new technology, you can search on YouTube using the word "flashlight" or just about any of the new major brands and see some amazing stuff from people truly obsessed with all things flashlight.
My personal awakening to the idea that some people were WAY, WAY, WAY more serious that I ever thought possible was when I dialed up the video showing a guy running a flashlight attached to a Fluke Ammeter. The amp draw?
11 . 6 amps.
No, the decimal didn't get misplaced.
Eleven point six amps – in a flashlight!
I'm an electrician by trade and a flashlight that does 11.6 amps? Well, I don't know, it's kinda like shake your head a couple of times, SAY WHAT???
So long story short, my curiosity as an electrician got me looking, which lead to Candlepowerforums, of CPF as they say. These guys are way beyond me, but at the same time, it's a great door to a world / technology I never thought existed and to see what's going on is awesome. The power of these flashlights is unbelievable. I scope out the forums on this site once in a while for info and products – if you want to know what's going on, this is a great place.
While looking around, I happened to find 2 sites I really love –
The first was the NUTNFANCY PROJECT, which is an operator / Special Forces guy who write and videos about guns, knives and flashlights. He reviews everything having to do with those subjects in videos that he posts on YouTube. They're typically 30 + minutes long and of excellent quality. I mention him here because if you like guns, knives, shooting survival and flashlights, than this is well worth a look. My description really can't do him justice (trust me on this) - you need to take a look. Here's a piece of his web site bio:
Welcome to The Nutnfancy Project or TNP. I am an INDEPENDENT reviewer of "dangerous things" like knives, guns, tac gear, and other stuff I dig. I also review a variety of outdoor equipment. My focus is on high quality stuff that I like, that lasts, and delivers exceptional service for the price paid. I believe all gear should be systems based, integrating into a "Philosophy of Use" (POU) that has been planned by the user. I have provided several foundational videos that discuss these POUs with the gear. My primary charter at TNP is a consumer advocate for my valued subscribers and I steer them towards the good deals and good dealers.
The second site I found, as a result of the TNP site, was 4Sevens Flashlights
After seeing a Nutnfancy video from the Las Vegas Shotshow that featured the 4Sevens booth and all their products, I purchased a Quark AA Tactical that uses 2 AA batteries and puts out 210 lumens! It's also about the size of a hotdog. This is one very, very bright flashlight! It has 8 different modes, so burning the light at 210 all the time is not necessary. What's really nice is the any two of the modes can be selected as the primary and secondary modes, which you can switch back and forth from by simply turning the head of the light ( the bezel they call it) 90 degrees. There a 5 primary lighting modes: moonlight ( .2 lumen – yes, point 2), low, medium, high, and max. There are also 3 flashing modes: SOS, beacon and strobe. This flashlight has received excellent reviews and I have owned one for about 8 months now and use it daily in an oil refinery environment, which is a pretty tough test of a working light in my opinion. I sure don't baby it and it's worked flawless, absolutely flawless. I plan on buying the FlashlightPal ASAP, as this will solve the last problem we have with all flashlights, namely how to get our hands free with the light on, but have the light actually point to what we're working on! The Quark AA Tactical sells for $53 and uses 2 AA cells and I think is a great work light with both excellent size and versatility that will serve a service guy well.
This weekend my wife gave me a 4Sevesn Maelstrom G5 that puts out 350 lumens. This thing is again the size of a hotdog, but with a head slightly bigger than the Quark AA and I cannot believe how far this throws the beam!! Absolutely amazing!! This light is designed to "throw" light out there, as opposed to the Quark AA which has distance but also "floods" a broader beam around the main beam of light And, of course, being a 4Sevens, there are multiple modes very similar to the Quark AA.
This light with battery and charger, is about 125 and probably the best small flashlight out there. Just amazing to see how much this small little thing in your hand can light it up, and I mean REACH OUT and light it up!!
K, so that's my info and thoughts on flashlights – Hope it helps you, gives you more info!
And if nothing else, remember, Xmas is coming .….
Posted 28 November 2010 - 05:28 PM
11 . 6 amps.
No, the decimal didn't get misplaced.
Eleven point six amps – in a flashlight![/quote] had to be a fluke ..
could have been "rigged"
here's some info:
LED flashlights have come a long way, and prices dropped.
my suggestions:
single LED ... no multiples (less efficient)
AA only, easily available/rechargeable (not AAA) (NOT CR123)
single AA is small, (2) AA, and some (4) AA
single LED flashlights ... under $5

No, it wasn't, seriously. I'm a journeyman electrician and yeah, it sounds crazy, but these things are just taking off. I'll try and find the video and get back to you... the other sites mentioned have some good info too. This is the Nutnfancy video on Youtube for the 4Sevens Shotshow booth I originally mentioned:
I did look at the Flashlight buyers for just a bit (have to get up at 4 am, its 9.35 here) but i noticed it was last updated in June 2007 (at the top of the page) so ?? . I also noticed a reference at the bottom of the page to the same forum I mentioned the CPF, ro CandlePowerForums, so the guy looks legit. Maybe he left for CPF?/ haven't had tome to look, but Regus, I'd check out these others lights. They're just amazin'.
I'll try to get back in the next few days.. by the way, did you see my last post at Robertshaw? ... sorry again!
k, thanks, see ya!
Posted 29 November 2010 - 01:49 AM
yes ... ok ...
.. by the way, did you see my last post at Robertshaw? ...
many users come here and expect us to have x-ray vision.
They'll say they have a Kenmore Washing Machine, but didn't bother to look for the model number ..

The dollar is surging against the yen. One U.S. dollar buys 90.87 yen, the highest level since June 2010. The dollar has risen 13% against the Japanese currency over the past three months. The yen has fallen on expectations of more action by Japan's central bank to ease monetary policy, as government leaders move to fight deflation and stimulate growth.

OMG!!! Liam is sooo sexy in this movie and i can't wait to see his lips when he kisses Jennifer in "Catching Fire" next November!!!

"The Hunger Games was incredibly awesome!!!!! It was very detailed and i just wish that they would show a little more killling & they would match up with the book a little bit more (but i guess that would make the movie longer idk)…28, March 2012, 1:41am -

If a student believes a grade received was less than what it should have been, due to error or deliberate action, the student must appeal the grade in writing to the instructor within 10 days of receiving the grade.
Becker College has an appeal process under which the student appeal is successively reviewed by the concerned faculty member, the department chair, and the Student Affairs Committee, which gives its final recommendation, and the rationale for that recommendation, to the academic dean.
Official final grades are issued after the end of each semester (mid-term grades are provided as a progress report on InSite). Grades will be accessible on InSite after 8:00 p.m. on the day they are posted.
The College uses the four-point Grade System in computing cumulative grade point averages (CGPA).

Hello everyone,
Reading PlanetMySQL today, I discovered that Alex Gorbachev's announcement that he has released the first public beta of his Oracle Grid Control plugin for MySQL was not aggregated! This is probably because Alex is primarily working on our Oracle space and so his feed isn't on planet.
This plugin has been under development since 2006 and this is a major achievement.
Knowing that my feed is aggregated, and not willing to let this news and this amazing work go unnoticed by the MySQL community during the conference (I am at MySQLConf listening to Amazon.com's CTO speak right now!)
In any event, if you missed them inline up there, here's a link to Alex's announcement with some impressive screenshots, and here's a link to the product's home page.
You can also go directly to the product download page by clicking here:
And check out the very positive comments from the first testers already on the announcement post.
Congratulations and thanks, Alex!
