- Ey cloud deploy – has anyone done a deploy to EY cloud and seen the Mongrel instances not get bounced?
- Does anyone have any tips on testing distributed applications? We're looking for the least ugly/painful way to do it well.
Interesting Things
- Rvm and sudo – for goodness sake don't do it.
- Sass not recompiling on deploys – a few of our projects have seen Sass files not recompile/update for some reason that we've yet to track down. So instead of spelunking through Sass code we just force the issue by having a rake task that forces the recompile – see this post for details.
- Rails xhr redirect – one of our projects is using the xhr_redirect plugin to support ajax redirects – careful if you want to use it in your tests – it self-destructs if your Rails environment == 'test'
- Android meetup tonight at 6:30 PM – check out the details.
- New Redis recipe from EY – following up from yesterday, the new EY recipe to set up Redis appears to work fine with a little tweaking.

Deutsche Bank Project
The Deutsche Bank Project ran from 2002 to 2007, working with schools in disadvantaged areas of London.
In that time, our team delivered more than 200 free science shows, and welcomed around 100 groups into the Museum on grant-assisted visits.
In total, the project reached more than 30,000 pupils, supporting and enriching the teaching of the National Curriculum science syllabus.

Just some random things from my camera.
First, the portrait I did to "commemorate" Bones (not that she's, like, dead or anything). First drawing in....years, somehow? And third halfway serious art attempt in the past year, for sure.
Then, the little ****s that have taken over Rebel's stall:
I think he secretly feeds them his oats, names them all, and tells them bedtime stories. I've seen seven of them in his stall at once while he's napping in it, crawling all through his hay and picking kernels out of his poop. **** mice.
And then, right after the tornado that ripped through and destroyed Joplin, this is the sky that greeted us. Huge double rainbow (which of course did not photograph well), but here you can see my neighbor's pot of gold, er, giant house:
These pictures of the sky from that night are completely unedited:
Finally, a warning:
If you're going to run with Brandy, you better be prepared to kick up your heels.

Authors: Sohr, Erin Ronayne; Dreyfus, Benjamin W.; Gupta, Ayush; Elby, Andrew Abstract: This document provides supporting materials for a paper submitted for review to the Physics Education Research Conference proceedings in 2015 titled, "'Because math': Epistemological stance or defusing social tension in QM?" It includes 3 sections: (1) Introduction, (2) Transcript data, and (3) the Particle in a Box tutorial worksheet relevant to the data. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Problems with the Newton–Schrödinger equations http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16000 Title: Problems with the Newton–Schrödinger equations Authors: Anastopoulos, C; Hu, B.L. Abstract: We examine the origin of the Newton–Schrödinger equations (NSEs) that play an important role in alternative quantum theories (AQT), macroscopic quantum mechanics and gravity-induced decoherence. We show that NSEs for individual particles do not follow from general relativity (GR) plus quantum field theory (QFT). Contrary to what is commonly assumed, the NSEs are not the weak-field (WF), non-relativistic (NR) limit of the semi-classical Einstein equation (SCE) (this nomenclature is preferred over the 'Moller–Rosenfeld equation') based on GR+QFT. The wave-function in the NSEs makes sense only as that for a mean field describing a system of N particles as N → ∞, not that of a single or finite many particles. From GR+QFT the gravitational self-interaction leads to mass renormalization, not to a non-linear term in the evolution equations of some AQTs. The WF-NR limit of the gravitational interaction in GR+QFT involves no dynamics. To see the contrast, we give a derivation of the equation (i) governing the many-body wave function from GR+QFT and (ii) for the nonrelativistic limit of quantum electrodynamics. They have the same structure, being linear, and very different from NSEs. Adding to this our earlier consideration that for gravitational decoherence the master equations based on GR +QFT lead to decoherence in the energy basis and not in the position basis, despite some AQTs desiring it for the 'collapse of the wave function', we conclude that the origins and consequences of NSEs are very different, and should be clearly demarcated from those of the SCE equation, the only legitimate representative of semiclassical gravity, based on GR+QFT.

Abstract: We study the global probability distribution of energy consumption per capita around the world using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for 1980–2010. We find that the Lorenz curves have moved up during this time period, and the Gini coefficient, G, has decreased from 0.66 in 1980 to 0.55 in 2010, indicating a decrease in inequality. The global probability distribution of energy consumption per capita in 2010 is close to the exponential distribution with G = 0.5. We attribute this result to the globalization of the world economy, which mixes the world and brings it closer to the state of maximal entropy. We argue that global energy production is a limited resource that is partitioned among the world population. The most probable partition is the one that maximizes entropy, thus resulting in the exponential distribution function. A consequence of the latter is the law of 1/3: the top 1/3 of the world population consumes 2/3 of produced energy. We also find similar results for the global probability distribution of CO2 emissions per capita.

Abstract: We have prepared meta-atoms based on radio-frequency superconducting quantum-interference devices (rf SQUIDs) and examined their tunability with dc magnetic field, rf current, and temperature. rf SQUIDs are superconducting split-ring resonators in which the usual capacitance is supplemented with a Josephson junction, which introduces strong nonlinearity in the rf properties. We find excellent agreement between the data and a model that regards the Josephson junction as the resistively and capacitively shunted junction. A magnetic field tunability of 80 THz=G at 12 GHz is observed, a total tunability of 56% is achieved, and a unique electromagnetically induced transparency feature at intermediate excitation powers is demonstrated for the first time. An rf SQUID metamaterial is shown to have qualitatively the same behavior as a single rf SQUID with regard to dc flux and temperature tuning.

I. IntroductionA. General Policy In accordance with its Vision, Mission and Values, the University of San Francisco expects students, faculty and staff to adhere to the highest levels of scientific integrity while conducting research and to responsibly carry out all types of scholarly activities. The University of San Francisco takes the strongest position on preventing misconduct in research and in supporting good faith complainants. All reports or concerns received will be investigated thoroughly according to this document with every effort being taken to protect the person(s) filing the report as well as others involved in the process.B. ScopeThis statement of policy and procedures applies to all individuals at the University of San Francisco (USF) engaged in research or scholarly activities and is intended to carry out USF's responsibilities under the Public Health Service i policies on Research Misconduct, 42 CFR Part 93. The term "misconduct in research" refers to any serious allegations of research misconduct (fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, reporting research results, unauthorized use of privileged information; and deliberate and substantial violation of federal, state or University regulations relating to the conduct of research. The policy applies to any person who at the time of the alleged research misconduct, was employed by, was an agent of, or was affiliated by contract or agreement with the institution, such as scientists, trainees, technicians and other staff members, students, fellows, guest researchers, or collaborators at the University of San Francisco. This policy also encompasses (1) biomedical or behavioral research, research training or activities related to that research or research training that are supported by or for which support is requested from PHS; (2) applications or proposals for biomedical or behavioral research, research training or activities related to that research or research training; (3) plagiarism of research records produced in the course of PHS supported research, research training or activities related to that research or research training. This includes any research proposed, performed, reviewed, or reported, or any research record generated from that research, regardless of whether an application or proposal for PHSfunds resulted in a grant, contract, cooperative agreement, or other form of {HS support. This policy and the associated procedures do not apply to authorship or collaboration disputes and applies only to allegations of research misconduct that occurred within six years of the date the institution or the US Department of Health and Human Services received the allegation, subject to the subsequent use, health or safety of the public, and grandfather exceptions in 42 CFR § 93.105(b).This document may also be used by the University of San Francisco when an allegation of misconduct or irresponsible conduct of research has been made against a student, faculty or staff member. Misconduct or irresponsible conduct of research includes but is not limited to fabrication, falsification or plagiarism, inappropriate or insufficient protection of human subjects or of animals used in research, conflict of interest in all facets of scholarly activities, personal and financial misconduct and inappropriate research practices. II. DefinitionsTerms used in the Policy and Procedures statement have the same meaning as given them in the PHS policies on Research Misconduct, 42 CFR Part 93 and those definitions take precedence in any discrepancies with those definitions included in this statement. A. Allegation means any written or oral statement or other indication of possible research misconduct made to an institutional official.B. Conflict of interest means the real or apparent interference of one person's interests with the interests of another person, where potential bias may occur due to prior or existing personal or professional relationships.C. Deciding Official (DO) means the institutional official who makes final determinations on allegations of research misconduct and any institutional administrative actions. The DO will not be the same individual as the Research Integrity Officer and should have no direct prior involvement in the institution's inquiry, investigation, or allegation assessment. A DO's appointment of an individual to assess allegations of research misconduct, or to serve on an inquiry or investigation committee, is not considered to be direct prior involvement. The Provost shall serve as the DO unless she or he is unable to serve according to this definition.D. Evidence means any document, tangible item, or testimony offered or obtained during a research misconduct proceedings that tends to prove or disprove the existence of an alleged fact.E. Good faith allegation means an allegation made with the honest belief that research misconduct may have occurred. An allegation is not in good faith if it is made with reckless disregard for or willful ignorance of facts that would disprove the allegation.F. Inquiry means gathering information and initial fact-finding to determine whether an allegation or apparent instance of research misconduct warrants an investigation.G. Institutional member means a person who is employed by, is an agent of, or is affiliated by contract or agreement with an institution. Institutional members may include, but are not limited to officials, tenured and untenured faculty, teaching and support staff, researchers, research coordinators, clinical technicians, postdoctoral and other fellows, students, volunteers, agents, and contractors, subcontractors, and sub-awardees, and their employees.H. Investigation means the formal examination and evaluation of all relevant facts to determine if misconduct has occurred, and, if so, to determine the responsible person and the seriousness of the misconduct.I. ORI means the Office of Research Integrity, the office to which the Health and Human Services (DHHS) Secretary has delegated responsibility for addressing research integrity and misconduct issues related to activities supported by the U.S. Public Health Service.J. PHS means the U.S. Public Health Service, an operating component of the PHS regulation means the PHS regulation establishing standards for institutional inquiries and investigations into allegations of research misconduct, which is set forth at 42 C.F.R. Part 93. L. PHS support means PHS grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements or applications therefore.M. Research Integrity Officer (RIO) means the institutional official responsible for: (1) assessing allegations of research misconduct to determine if they fall within the definition of research misconduct, are covered by 42 CFR Part 93, and warrant an inquiry on the basis that the allegation is sufficiently credible and specific so that potential evidence of research misconduct may be identified; and (2) overseeing inquiries and investigations; and (3) the other responsibilities described in this policy. The Senior Vice Provost of Academic Affairs will serve as the RIO unless she or he is unable to serve according to the provisions of this document including the possibility of real or perceived conflict of interest or being the subject of the allegation.N. Research record means the record of data or results that embody the facts resulting from scientific inquiry, including but not limited to, research proposals, laboratory records, both physical and electronic, progress reports, abstracts, theses, oral presentations, internal reports, journal articles, and any documents and materials provided to HHS or an institutional official by a respondent in the course of the research misconduct proceeding. O. Respondent means the person against whom an allegation of research misconduct is directed or the person whose actions are the subject of the inquiry or investigation. There can be more than one respondent in any inquiry or investigation.P. Retaliation means an adverse action taken against a complainant, witness, or committee member by this institution or one of its institutional members in response to (1) a good faith allegation of research misconduct; or (2) good faith cooperation with a research misconduct proceeding. Q. Research misconduct means fabrication, falsification or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results. Fabrication is making up data or results and recording or reporting them. Falsification is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit. Research misconduct does not include honest error or differences of opinion.R. Complainant means a person who makes an allegation of research misconduct.III. Rights and ResponsibilitiesA. Research Integrity Officer The Senior Vice Provost will serve as the Research Integrity Officer who will have primary responsibility for implementation of the procedures and policies set forth in this document. The Research Integrity Officer is an institutional official who is well qualified to handle the procedural requirements involved and is sensitive to the varied demands made on those who conduct research, those who are accused of research misconduct, those who make good faith allegations of research misconduct, and those who may serve on inquiry and investigation committees.A detailed list of the responsibilities of the Research Integrity Officer is available from the Provost Office. These responsibilities include the following duties related to research misconduct proceedings:
B. ComplainantThe complainant is responsible for making allegations in good faith, maintaining confidentiality, and cooperating with an inquiry or investigation. As a matter of good practice, the complainant should be interviewed at the inquiry stage and given the transcript or recording of the interview for correction. The complainant must be interviewed during an investigation, and be given a transcript or recording of the interview for correction. C. RespondentThe respondent is responsible for maintaining confidentiality and cooperating with the conduct of an inquiry or investigation. The respondent is entitled to:
The respondent should be given the opportunity to admit that research misconduct occurred and that she or he committed the research misconduct. With the advice of the RIO and institutional legal counsel, the Deciding Official may terminate the institution's review of an allegation that has been admitted. In cases where allegations are admitted that involve PHS grants, contracts, cooperative agreements or proposals, the DO may terminate the procedures if it is approved by ORI.D. Deciding OfficialThe Provost will serve as the Deciding Official. She or he will receive the inquiry and after consulting with the RIO and/or other institutional officials, decide whether an investigation is warranted under the criteria in 42 CFR § 93.307(d). Any finding that an investigation is warranted must be made in writing by the DO and must be provided to ORI, together with a copy of the inquiry report meeting the requirements of 42 CFR § 93.309, within 30 days of the finding. If it is found that an investigation is not warranted, the DO and the RIO will ensure that detailed documentation of the inquiry is retained for at least seven (7) years after termination of the inquiry, so that ORI may assess the reasons why the institution decided not to conduct an investigation.The DO will receive the investigation report and, after consulting with the RIO and/or other institutional officials, decide the extent to which this institution accepts the findings of the investigation and, if research misconduct is found, decide what, if any, institutional administrative actions are appropriate. The DO shall ensure that the final investigation report, the findings of the DO and a description of any pending or completed administrative actions are provided to ORI, as required by 42 CFR § 93.315.IV. General Policies and PrinciplesA. Responsibility to Report MisconductAll institutional members or individuals associated with the University of San Francisco will report observed, suspected, or apparent research misconduct to the Research Integrity Officer. If an individual is unsure whether a suspected incident falls within the definition of research misconduct, he or she may call the Research Integrity Officer at (415) 422-6136 to discuss the suspected misconduct informally, which may include discussing it anonymously and/or hypothetically. If the circumstances described by the individual do not meet the definition of research misconduct, the Research Integrity Officer will refer the individual or allegation to other offices or officials with responsibility for resolving the problem.At any time, an institutional member may have confidential discussions and consultations about concerns of possible misconduct with the Research Integrity Officer or their executive officer (i.e., vice president or dean) and will be counseled about appropriate procedures for reporting allegations.B. Cooperation with Research Misconduct ProceedingsInstitutional members will cooperate with the RIO and other institutional officials in the review of allegations and the conduct of inquiries and investigations. Institutional members, including respondents, have an obligation to provide evidence relevant to research misconduct allegations to the RIO or other institutional officials.C. ConfidentialityThe RIO shall, as required by 42 CFR §93.108: (1) limit disclosure of the identity of respondents and complainants to those who need to know in order to carry out a thorough, competent, objective and fair research misconduct proceeding; and (2) except as otherwise prescribed by law, limit the disclosure of any records or evidence from which research subjects may be identified to those who need to know in order to carry out a research misconduct proceeding. The RIO should use written confidentiality agreements or other mechanisms to ensure that the recipient does not make further disclosure of identifying information.D. Protecting the complainants, witnesses and committee membersInstitutional members may not retaliate in any way against complainants, witnesses, or committee members. Institutional members should immediately report any alleged or apparent retaliation against complainants, witnesses or committee members to the RIO, who shall review the matter and, as necessary, make all reasonable and practical efforts to counter any potential or actual retaliation and protect and restore the position and reputation of the person against whom the retaliation is directed.E. Protecting the RespondentAs requested and as appropriate, the RIO and other institutional officials shall make all reasonable and practical efforts to protect or restore the reputation of persons alleged to have engaged in research misconduct, but against whom no finding of research misconduct is made.During the research misconduct proceeding, the RIO is responsible for ensuring that respondents receive all notices and opportunities provided for in 42 CFR Par 93 and the policies and procedures of USF. Respondents may consult with legal counsel or a non-lawyer personal adviser (who is not a principal or witness in the case) to seek advice and may bring the counsel or personal adviser to interviews or meetings on the case. If counsel is brought to interviews or meetings, the role of the lawyer is limited to advising (as opposed to representing) the respondent. F. Interim administrative actions Throughout the research misconduct proceeding, the RIO will review the situation to determine if there is any threat of harm to public health, federal funds and equipment, or the integrity of the PHS supported research process. In the event of such a threat, the RIO will, in consultation with other institutional officials and ORI, take appropriate interim action to protect against any such threat. Interim action might include additional monitoring of the research process and the handling of federal funds and equipment, reassignment of personnel or of the responsibility for the handling of federal funds and equipment, additional review of research data and results or delaying publication. The RIO shall, at any time during a research misconduct proceeding, notify ORI immediately if he/she has reason to believe that any of the follow conditions exist:
V. Conducting the Assessment and Inquiry A. Assessment of AllegationsUpon receiving an allegation of research misconduct, the RIO will immediately assess the allegation to determine whether it is sufficiently credible and specific so that potential evidence of research misconduct may be identified, whether it is within the jurisdictional criteria of 42 CFR § 93.102(b), and whether the allegation falls within the definition of research misconduct in this policy and 42 CFR § 93.103. An inquiry must be conducted if these criteria are met. The assessment period should be brief, preferably concluded within a week. In conducting the assessment, the RIO need not interview the complainant, respondent, or other witnesses, or gather data beyond any that may have been submitted with the allegation, except as necessary to determine whether the allegation is sufficiently credible and specific so that potential evidence of research misconduct may be identified. The RIO shall, on or before the date on which the respondent is notified of the allegation, obtain custody of, inventory, and sequester all research records and evidence needed to conduct the research misconduct proceeding, as provided in this document.B. Initiation and Purpose of the InquiryIf the RIO determines that the criteria for an inquiry are met, he or she will immediately initiate the inquiry process. The purpose of the inquiry is to conduct an initial review of the available evidence to determine whether to conduct an investigation. An inquiry does not require a full review of all the evidence related to the allegation. C. Notice to Respondent; Sequestration of the Research RecordsAt the time of or before beginning an inquiry, the RIO must make a good faith effort to notify the respondent in writing, if the respondent is known. If the inquiry subsequently identifies additional respondents, they must be notified in writing. On or before the date on which the respondent is notified, or the inquiry begins, whichever is earlier, the RIO must take all reasonable and practical steps to obtain custody of all the research records and evidence needed to conduct the research misconduct proceeding, inventory the records and evidence and sequester them in a secure manner, except that where the research records or evidence encompass scientific instruments shared by a number of users, custody may be limited to copies of the data or evidence on such instruments, so long as those copies are substantially equivalent to the evidentiary value of the instruments. The RIO may consult with ORI for advice and assistance in this regard. D. Appointment of the Inquiry CommitteeThe Research Integrity Officer, in consultation with other institutional officials as appropriate, will appoint an inquiry committee and committee chair within ten (10) days of the initiation of the inquiry or as soon thereafter as practical. The inquiry committee must consist of individuals who do not have unresolved personal, professional, or financial conflicts of interest with those involved with the inquiry and should include individuals with the necessary expertise to evaluate the evidence and issues related to the allegation, interview the principals and key witnesses, and conduct the inquiry. The Research Integrity Officer will notify the respondent of the proposed committee membership within ten (10) days of the establishment of the committee. If the respondent submits a written objection to any appointed member of the inquiry committee or expert based on bias or conflict of interest within five (5) days of notification, the Research Integrity Officer will determine whether to replace the challenged member or expert with a qualified substitute.E. Charge to the Committee and the First MeetingThe Research Integrity Officer will prepare a charge for the inquiry committee that:
At the committee's first meeting, the Research Integrity Officer will review the charge with the committee, discuss the allegations, any related issues, and the appropriate procedures for conducting the inquiry, assist the committee with organizing plans for the inquiry, and answer any questions raised by the committee. The Research Integrity Officer and institutional counsel will be present or available throughout the inquiry to advise the committee as needed.F. Inquiry ProcessThe inquiry committee will normally interview the complainant, the respondent, and key witnesses as well as examining relevant research records and materials. Then the inquiry committee will evaluate the evidence and testimony obtained during the inquiry. After consultation with the Research Integrity Officer and institutional counsel, the committee members will decide whether there is sufficient evidence of possible research misconduct to recommend further investigation. The scope of the inquiry does not include deciding whether misconduct definitely occurred, determining definitely who committed the research misconduct or conducting exhaustive interviews and analyses. However, if a legally sufficient admission of research misconduct is made by the respondent, misconduct may be determined at the inquiry stage. G. Time for completionThe inquiry, including preparation of the final inquiry report and the decision of the DO on whether an investigation is warranted, must be completed within 60 calendar days of initiation of the inquiry, unless the RIO determines that circumstances clearly warrant a longer period. If the RIO approves and extension, the inquiry record must include documentation of the reason for exceeding the 60-day period. VI. The Inquiry ReportA. Elements of the Inquiry ReportA written inquiry report must be prepared that includes the following information: (1) the name and position of the respondent; (2) a description of the allegations of research misconduct; (3) the PHS support (if any) including for example, grant numbers, grant applications, contracts and publications listing PHS support; (4) the basis for recommending or not recommending that the allegations warrant an investigation; (5) any comments on the draft report by the respondent or complainant. Institutional counsel should review the report for legal sufficiency. Modifications should be made as appropriate in consultation with the RIO and the inquiry committee.B. Notification to the Respondent and Opportunity to Comment The RIO shall notify the respondent whether the inquiry found an investigation to be warranted, include a copy of the draft inquiry report for comment within ten (10) days, and include a copy of or refer to 42 CFR Part 93 and the institution's policies and procedures on research misconduct.C. Institutional Decision and Notification
VII. Conducting the InvestigationA. Initiation and Purpose The investigation must begin within 30 calendar days after the determination by the DO that an investigation is warranted. The purpose of the investigation is to develop a factual record by exploring the allegations in detail and examining the evidence in depth, leading to recommended findings on whether research misconduct has been committed, by whom, and to what extent. The investigation will also determine whether there are additional instances of possible research misconduct that would justify broadening the scope beyond the initial allegations. This is particularly important where the alleged misconduct involves clinical trials or potential harm to human subjects or the general public or if it affects research that forms the basis for public policy, clinical practice, or public health practice. Under 42 CFR § 93.313 the findings of the investigation must be set forth in an investigation report.B. Notifying ORI and Respondent; Sequestration of the Research Records On or before the date on which the investigation begins, the RIO must: (1) notify the ORI Director of the decision to begin the investigation and provide ORI a copy of the inquiry report; and (2) notify the respondent in writing of the allegations to be investigated. The RIO must also give the respondent written notice of any new allegations of research misconduct within a reasonable amount of time of deciding to pursue allegations not addressed during the inquiry or in the initial notice of the investigation.The Research Integrity Officer will prior to notifying respondent of the allegations, take all reasonable and practical steps to obtain custody of and sequester in a secure manner all research records and evidence needed to conduct the research misconduct proceeding that were not previously sequestered during the inquiry. The need for additional sequestration of records may occur for any number of reasons, including the institution's decision to investigate additional allegations not considered during the inquiry stage or the identification of records during the inquiry process that had not been previously secured. The procedures to be followed for sequestration during the investigation are the same procedures that apply during the inquiry.C. Appointment of the Investigation Committee The Research Integrity Officer, in consultation with other institutional officials as appropriate, will appoint an investigation committee and the committee chair within ten (10) days of the notification to the respondent that an investigation is planned or as soon thereafter as practicable. The investigation committee must consist of individuals who do not have real or apparent personal, professional, or financial conflicts of interest with those involved with the investigation and should include individuals with the appropriate scientific expertise to evaluate the evidence and issues related to the allegation, interview the principals and key witnesses, and conduct the investigation. Individuals appointed to the investigation committee may also have served on the inquiry committee.The Research Integrity Officer will notify the respondent of the proposed committee membership within five (5) days. If the respondent submits a written objection to any appointed member of the investigation committee or expert, the Research Integrity Officer will determine whether to replace the challenged member or expert with a qualified substitute.D. Charge to the Committee and the First Meeting 1. Charge to the CommitteeThe Research Integrity Officer will define the subject matter of the investigation in a written charge to the committee that
2. The First MeetingThe Research Integrity Officer, with the assistance of institutional counsel, will convene the first meeting of the investigation committee to review the charge, the inquiry report, and the prescribed procedures and standards for the conduct of the investigation, including the necessity for confidentiality and for developing a specific investigation plan. The investigation committee will be provided with a copy of these instructions and, where PHS funding is involved, the PHS regulation.E. Investigation Process The investigation committee and the RIO must:
F. Time for completionThe investigation is to be completed within 120 days of beginning it, including conducting the investigation, preparing the report of findings, providing the draft report for comment and sending the final report to ORI. However, if the RIO determines that the investigation will not be completed within this 120-day period, he/she will submit to ORI a written request for an extension, setting forth the reasons for the delay. The RIO will ensure that periodic progress reports are filed with ORI, if ORI grants the request for an extension and directs the filing of such reports.VIII. The Investigation Report A. Elements of the Investigation Report
The investigation committee and the RIO are responsible for preparing a written draft report of the investigation that:
C. Decision by Deciding Official
The RIO will assist the investigation committee in finalizing the draft investigation report, including ensuring that the respondent's and complainant's comments are included and considered, and transmit the final investigation report to the DO, who will determine in writing: (1) whether the institution accepts the investigation report, its findings, and the recommended institutional actions; and (2) the appropriate institutional actions in response to the accepted findings of research misconduct. If this determination varies from the findings of the investigation committee, the DO will, as part of his/her written determination, explain in detail the basis for rendering a decision different from the findings of the investigation committee. Alternatively, the DO may return the report to the investigation committee with a request for the further fact-finding or analysis.When a final decision on the case has been reached, the Research Integrity Officer will normally notify both the respondent and the complainant in writing. In addition, the Deciding Official will determine whether law enforcement agencies, professional societies, professional licensing boards, editors of journals in which falsified reports may have been published, collaborators of the respondent in the work, or other relevant parties should be notified of the outcome of the case. The Research Integrity Officer is responsible for ensuring compliance with all notification requirements of funding or sponsoring agencies.D. Transmittal of the Final Investigation Report to ORI In cases involving allegations of research misconduct involving current or potential PHS funding, the Research Integrity Officer shall submit within 120 days a final report with attachments, including the respondent's and complainant's comments, the Deciding Official's explanation (if this determination differs from the recommendations of the investigative report ) to the ORI. E. Maintaining Records for Review by ORIThe RIO must maintain and provide to ORI upon request "records of research misconduct proceedings" as that term is defined by 42 CFR § 93.317. Unless custody has been transferred to DHHS or ORI has advised in writing that the records no longer need to be retained, records of research misconduct proceedings must be maintained in a secure manner for 7 years after completion of the proceeding or the completion of any PHS proceeding involving the research misconduct allegation. The RIO is also responsible for providing any information, documentation, research records, evidence or clarification requested by ORI to carry out its review of an allegation of research misconduct or the institution's handling of such an allegation.IX. Completion of Cases; Reporting Closure to ORI Generally, all inquiries and investigations will be carried through to completion and all significant issues will be pursued diligently. The RIO must notify ORI in advance if there are plans to close a case at the inquiry or investigation stage on the basis that respondent has admitted guilt, a settlement with the respondent has been reached, or for any other reason, except (1) closing of a case at the inquiry stage on the basis that an investigation is not warranted; or (2) a finding of no misconduct at the investigation stage, which must be reported to ORI, as prescribed in this policy and 42 CFR § 93.315.X. Institutional Administrative Actions The University of San Francisco will take appropriate administrative actions against individuals when an allegation of misconduct has been substantiated.If the Deciding Official determines that the alleged misconduct is substantiated by the findings, he or she will decide on the appropriate actions to be taken, after consultation with the Research Integrity Officer. The actions may include:
XI. Other Considerations A. Termination of Institutional Employment or Resignation Prior to Completing Inquiry or Investigation The termination of the respondent's institutional employment, by resignation or otherwise, before or after an allegation of possible research misconduct has been reported, will not preclude or terminate the misconduct procedures.If the respondent, without admitting to the misconduct, elects to resign his or her position prior to the initiation of an inquiry, but after an allegation has been reported, or during an inquiry or investigation, the inquiry or investigation will proceed. If the respondent refuses to participate in the process after resignation, the committee will use its best efforts to reach a conclusion concerning the allegations, noting in its report the respondent's failure to cooperate and its effect on the committee's review of all the evidence.B. Restoration of the Respondent's Reputation If the institution finds no research misconduct, after consulting with the respondent, the Research Integrity Officer will undertake reasonable efforts to restore the respondent's reputation. ORI must concur with this decision in cases involving allegations of research misconduct involving current or potential PHS funding. Depending on the particular circumstances, the Research Integrity Officer should consider notifying those individuals aware of or involved in the investigation of the final outcome, publicizing the final outcome in forums in which the allegation of research misconduct was previously publicized, or expunging all reference to the research misconduct allegation from the respondent's personnel file. Any institutional actions to restore the respondent's reputation must first be approved by the Deciding Official.C. Protection of the Complainant and Others During the research misconduct proceedings and upon its completion, regardless of whether the institution or ORI determines that research misconduct occurred, the RIO must undertake all reasonable and practical efforts to protect the position and reputation of, or to counter potential or actual retaliation against, any complainant who made allegations of research in good faith and of any witnesses and committee member who cooperate in good faith with the research misconduct proceeding. The DO will determine, after consulting with the RIO, and with the complainant, witnesses, or committee members, respectively, what steps, if any, are needed to restore their respective positions or reputations or to counter potential or actual retaliation against them. The RIO is responsible for implementing any steps the DO approves.D. Allegations Not Made in Good Faith If relevant, the Deciding Official will determine whether the complainant's allegations of research misconduct were made in good faith. If an allegation was not made in good faith, the Deciding Official will determine whether any administrative action should be taken against the complainant.E. Interim Administrative Actions Institutional officials will take interim administrative actions, as appropriate, to protect Federal funds and ensure that the purposes of the Federal financial assistance are carried out.XII. Record Retention After completion of a case and all ensuing related actions, the Research Integrity Officer will prepare a complete file, including the records of any inquiry or investigation and copies of all documents and other materials furnished to the Research Integrity Officer or committees. The Research Integrity Officer will keep the file for seven (7) years after completion of the case to permit later assessment of the case. ORI or other authorized PHS personnel will be given access to the records upon request in cases involving allegations of research misconduct involving current or potential PHS funding.NOTE: This document is based on and incorporates much of the wording of the "Sample Policy and Procedures" developed by the Office of Research Integrity, DHHS.

Advanced Flash 5: Introduction to ActionScripting with Josh Ulm and Garo Green is an instructional workshop presenting the radically new object-oriented scripting mode introduced by Macromedia Flash 5. This workshop offers completely new and original exercises developed specifically to teach the fundamentals of object-oriented programming inside of Flash. While traditional scripting methods are still accessible in Flash 5, adopting object-oriented methods will significantly change the way you develop Flash movies. Object-oriented programming will produce movies that are smaller, faster, more powerful and extensible. This workshop breaks ActionScripting down into easy-to-understand fundamental concepts, so Flash developers can harness the power and complexity of Flash without relying on complicated single-use tricks.

April 3, 2009
Fort Worth, Texas --- The University of New Mexico baseball team dropped their second Mountain West Conference game of the season against No. 22 TCU, 7-3, tonight in Fort Worth. Senior John Hesketh put in a strong pitching performance, but the No. 18 Lobos were only able to come up with three runs on eight hits. UNM is now 25-6 overall and 5-2 in MWC play, while TCU is 17-9 and 4-3. The two teams meet again at Lupton Stadium on Saturday, April 4 at 3 p.m. (MDT).
New Mexico got on the board first in the first inning when second baseman Mike Brownstein scored on a groundout by third baseman Dane Hamilton, 1-0.
The Lobos held the 1-0 lead for three innings as Hesketh (4-1) held the Horned Frogs scoreless for 3 and 2/3 innings before giving up a solo home run to left field to TCU first baseman Matt Vern, 1-1.
In the top of the fifth, shortstop Daniel Gonzalez tripled to right center and scored one batter later on a Brownstein sacrifice fly, 2-1.
The Horned Frogs countered in the bottom of the inning when a run scored on a New Mexico error, 2-2.
UNM got the lead back for Hesketh in the top of the sixth, 3-2, when outfielder Brian Cavazos-Galvez doubled down the left field line to score Hamilton who started the inning with a single up the middle.
The Lobos held the lead going into the bottom of the seventh. Hesketh, who threw 147 pitches in the contest, gave up three singles in the bottom of the seventh and was lifted with two outs for reliever Daniel Grubbs and the game tied at 3. TCU's Chris Ellington hit a single of Grubbs to drive in the go ahead run, 4-3.
TCU tacked on three more runs in the eighth and the Lobos were not able to get any offense going against reliever Tyler Lockwood (2-1) over the final three innings for the final, 7-3.
Brownstein and Cavazos-Galvez led the Lobos with two hits each, but the single digit team total of eight ended UNM's 24-game double-digit hitting streak.

decided to sell your house, you've painted and polished, you've interviewed listing
agents, and settled on an asking price. Now it's time to sign a listing contract.
"A listing agreement is really an employment contract
between you and the person you're hiring," says Diane Saatchi, senior vice
president of The Corcoran Group in East Hampton, N.Y. "You want to be clear
what everyone's job will be; they want to be clear what they'll be earning for
the effort."
the contracts vary from state to state, some things are fairly standard. You should
expect to see the following:
description of the agreement. There are three basic types of listing agreements,
says real estate attorney Neil Garfinkel, a partner in the New York-based based
firm of Abrams Garfinkel Margolis Bergson, LLP. The most common is called an exclusive
right to sell, or an exclusive listing agreement. This means that you give just
one company the right to sell your house, as opposed to having signs from four
different real estate agents in your front yard. In an exclusive listing, the
broker gets the commission no matter who brings the buyer to the closing table.
In an exclusive agency listing, you list the house with just one agency. If they
sell it, they get the commission. If you wind up selling it on your own, you don't
pay a commission. The final variation is an open listen, which means you can sign
up with as many real estate agents as you want to sell the house. It doesn't happen
very often and most Multiple Listing Services generally don't allow it.
What's included or excluded
in the sale. It sounds simple, but it can get technical,
says Elizabeth Marquart, a Realtor with Sotheby's International
Realty in Beverly Hills, Calif. Generally, furniture is excluded
and fixtures are included in a sale. A fixture is anything that's
attached to the walls, including curtain rods and window coverings,
light fixtures, chandeliers, cabinetry, built-in desks and bookcases,
and built-in appliances. But these days, lots of stuff is attached
to the walls, including things you might like to take with you,
such as your to-die-for plasma screen TV. Spell out what stays and
what goes.
The listing price and terms.
This is your initial asking price, the starting point of
all negotiations with buyers. You'll also include here any incentives
you might offer, such as offering financing to a buyer, paying closing
costs, offering a home buyer's warranty, or giving a bonus to an
agent. Keep in mind: You are signing a contract that says you will
sell -- and pay the brokerage commission -- at the price and terms
stated. In other words, if the agent brings a buyer who agrees to
the exact terms spelled out in the listing agreement refusing to
do so will likely land you in legal hot water and liable to pay
the commission anyway.
Services to be performed.
This says what the agent will be expected to do for you,
says Sharon Kirkland, broker manager of the Delray Beach, Fla.,
office of Illustrated Properties Real Estate Inc. Those services
include advertising the property, listing it with the Multiple Listing
Service, showing the house, presenting all offers and counter-offers
in a timely manner, and assuring that information you give the agent
will be kept confidential unless you waive that confidentiality.
It also will list other services to be performed, such as having
the yard mowed until it sells.
Compensation. In all
states, the commission is negotiable. In California, contracts state
in big, bold print that the commission isn't fixed by law, Marquart
says. That means the 6 percent the agent often seeks isn't carved
in stone. This section also says you agree to pay commission to
both your agent and the buyer's agent, and you authorize your agent
to cooperate with other agents for a specific percentage. In plain
English, if you're paying your agent a 6 percent commission, he'll
split that with the buyer's agent. There's often a provision for
a reduced commission for a seller who finds a buyer on his own.

Below I will list a few simple ways to cleanse and rid your body of toxins. Some of these methods will help to clear the skin, and purge the vital organs. I will admit, none are quick fixes, but all are simple lifestyle changes that will enable one to safely lose weight and re-energize the body.
Breathing - Taking deep breaths seems simple, but it is a wonderful way to lower cortisol levels and relieve stress. Cortisol is known as 'the stress hormone' because it is secreted by the adrenal gland when one needs to manage a mental or emotional situation. To relieve stress and anxiety, get quiet, close your eyes and gently inhale, then exhale. Do it for count of five. Repeat as needed. You will feel the soothing effects, and this can be done anytime, anywhere.
Eating - Ingest super foods, those items like blueberries, apples, broccoli, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes. Foods of this type contain fiber, which enable one to maintain regularity. They also contain compounds that heal and naturally detox the body. Leafy greens that are brimming with fiber as well as vitamins and minerals may also protect against heart disease, diabetes, and perhaps even cancer.
Skip Sweetners - Weve heard it for years, processed sugar (white) is no good for us, for any number of reasons. So what will one do? Try raw honey or unfiltered which is the least processed of all refined sweeteners. Ive recently learned of coconut sugar! Agave, derived from a perennial, a plant is another alternative, as is Stevia, and brown rice syrup. Lessening your sugar intake will not only aid in detoxing your system, but it will help lower blood pressure. This I know for a fact!
Get Unplugged - Sometimes to do so is very necessary in our high-tech environment. We have computers, cell phones tablets, e-readers, games and a host of other electronics from which we should take a break every now and again. Why? Because electromagnetic pull can and does often interfere with the bodys magnetic fields, thereby causing us to feel imbalanced.
Sate the Soul - I know its very Oprah-esque, but keeping a journal and jotting down feelings, can relieve troubled emotions. Unlike telling another person, you wont worry that it will be repeated five minutes later. Toxic emotions like anger, sadness, forgiveness and grief can be released, assessed and let go.
Take a Nap - Lie down; we used to do it when we were kids. A siesta, even for a few minutes can prove to be reinvigorating. A little down time, even in ones car, can decrease stress levels, thus detoxing the surrounding atmosphere.
Meditate - It greatly relieves stress and clears the mind. To detox, why not listen to a Deepak Chopra wellness CD? With the soothing sounds of the ocean in the background, meditation offers a break from drama and free-wheeling thoughts. Meditation which is not new happens to be an ancient practice that aids one to surrender, heal, reinvigorate, and renew the laws of attraction.
Saute - Another way to ingest healthy vegetables and leafy greens is to sauté them in stock. (Try low sodium chicken, fish, or vegetable stock). Homemade is best, but most any grocer carries a variety. Use this method for steaming veggies instead of heating them in oil. Why? Because oils at high temperatures can create toxins which we are attempting to avoid ingesting.
Stimulate the Skin - Were you aware that dry-brushing the skin can jumpstart detoxification? Using a brush with soft bristles will stimulate the lymphatic system which includes all the structures in the body that are dedicated to circulation. Gently rub the skin all over, not forgetting the extremeties. A soothing warm shower should follow. We want a healthy circulatory system, seeing that it processes an average of 20 liters of blood per day.
Ethnic Beauties, in the coming days and weeks, well discuss more ways to detox and regain lost energy. Should you want to share your methods, please do so in the Ethnic Beauty Forum, click on the upper right icon.

this is an 11 by 14 inch, oil pastel on linen. I used clear gesso on the backside of gessoed linen because I wanted the natural look of natural linen for my background. The clear gesso proptects the surface and the clear gesso provides extra tooth for the oil pastels.
Hal, lovely. Happy New Year!
Very nice.
Hal, love the deep purples and the variation of shades. Very pretty. Sammy

Scarborough ends Portland's Cinderella run
SCARBOROUGH—All good things must end and the Scarborough boys' soccer team made sure that Portland's recent fairy tale run concluded with little fanfare Wednesday evening in the Western Class A quarterfinals.
The second-ranked Red Storm wasted little time putting the upstart Bulldogs behind the eight ball, as senior Austin Downing struck just 2 minutes, 34 seconds in.
Downing added a second goal in the 26th minute to put Scarborough in full control and the Red Storm didn't give Portland an opportunity to get back in the game.
Then, with 20:42 to play, Scarborough senior Sam Cekada delivered the dagger and the Red Storm went on to a 3-0 victory.
Scarborough improved to 13-0-2, ended the Bulldogs' campaign at 7-8-1 and punched its ticket to the semifinals, where it will host longtime playoff rival Greely Saturday at a time yet to be announced.
"It's good to score first," said Red Storm coach Mark Diaz. "The energy was good. I thought we could've been a little more patient, but that's typical of a first playoff game. Portland's young, but they worked hard. They put up a fight. It wasn't easy."
Here we go again
Scarborough was the top seed in Western Class A every year from 2004 through 2011, but that string finally ended this fall, on a technicality.
The Red Storm and Gorham both wound up 12-0-2 and had the same number of Heal Points, necessitating a coin toss for the top seed, which the Rams won.
As a result, Scarborough finished second in the region, but remains the team to beat after handling every foe in the regular season, save Gorham and South Portland (the Red Storm played those teams to ties).
Portland looked like anything but a playoff contender when it was 2-7-1, but the Bulldogs won their final four games to finish 10th in Western A, then outlasted host No. 7 Windham, the defending state champion, 2-1, in double overtime, on junior Liban Hassan's winner, Monday in the preliminary round.
Scarborough easily won the regular season meeting, 6-1, at Portland on Sept. 11 and had won two of the past three playoff encounters, including 7-2 in the most recent, the 2009 semifinals..
Wednesday, the Red Storm left no doubt that it was the better team and that it won't be content until it's back on the top of the heap.
After an initial Bulldogs chance didn't pan out, Scarborough took over and with 37:26 to go in the first half, Downing finished and it was 1-0.
"We know we do our best if we come out and get an early goal," said Downing. "That's what we aimed for. (Senior Trevor) Sparda played a great cross. I was able to shield the defender off. The ball fell to me, I turned and scored far post."
The scored remained 1-0 until Downing struck again with just over 10 minutes left before halftime.
"We wanted to come out and put another right in," Downing said. "You don't want to give a good team like Portland any relief. That one, the ball just fell to my foot. (Junior) Wyatt (Omsberg) tapped it. I was able to step up and hit it with my left."
"Scarborough, technically and tactically, they know how to play the game so well," said Portland coach Rocky Frenzilli. "They take advantage of space. They got that second goal and that was it, but my guys never quit."
The Red Storm never let the Bulldogs entertain comeback thoughts in the second half, carrying play, and with 20:42 to go, Cekada got in on the fun, firing a shot that Portland senior goalkeeper Chip Weber (19 saves) slowed, but couldn't stop, and the ball trickled into the net with junior Wyatt Omsberg there waiting to pound it home in case it didn't, making the score 3-0.
Down the stretch, Bulldogs senior standout Tim Rovnak, in his final game, eluded two Scarborough defenders before shooting just wide and Weber made a diving save on a left footed bid from Red Storm sophomore Jerry Kenney.
Scarborough then put the finishing touches on its 3-0 win.
"Any win in the playoffs is a big win," Downing said. "It's big to get over the first hump. It gives us confidence going into the next round. We wanted to not think about the last game because obviously (Portland's) much better than the last time."
"The goals we scored were good goals against a good keeper," said Diaz. "Some nights it's Sam, some nights it's Wyatt, some nights it's (senior) Dan Ornstein. Tonight it was Austin. At this point, we don't care. We just want to score. It was a good start. I'm happy with a shutout. We'll see if we can build on this."
What a ride
Portland wasn't overly distraught after the final horn and that was fitting considering it started the season with just a few players on the roster who had any varsity experience, that it had to forfeit an early win over Deering and found itself 2-7-1 with just four games to play, only to catch fire and reach the regional quarterfinals.
"I'm so proud and so happy of what the guys were able to accomplish," said Frenzilli. "When they look back, they'll reflect on it. Tonight just wasn't our night. Scarborough was ready to play. We knew we'd be up against it. Chip kept us in it. To have Chip Weber and Tim Rovnak as bookends and watch the kids grow was a pleasure to behold. They led these kids through. They never quit. They were tenacious and hard working. They were the program this year. I couldn't be prouder of two kids and what they were able to accomplish. It was a fun ride. They deserved it."
Portland will be a force to be reckoned with in 2013.
"We'll come back bigger and better next year, I hope," Frenzilli said. "I think we'll be in a better place to start next year. These kids got some experience. If we could start next week, I'd be ready for it because that's what kind of group this is."
Renewing acquaintances
Scarborough and Greely (who don't play in the regular season) have met eight prior times in the playoffs, including six times since 2003 (the Red Storm holds a 5-3 all-time postseason edge over the Rangers). Last year, in the quarterfinals, Scarborough eked out a 1-0 home win.
Greely might be the most sizzling team in the area coming into the game. The Rangers were just 7-4, but closed the regular season with victories at defending Class C champion Waynflete, top Western B seed Yarmouth and reigning Class B champion Falmouth to earn the No. 3 seed in Western A. Greely shrugged off an early goal in its quarterfinal Wednesday and went on to dominate No. 11 Noble, 5-1, to advance.
Saturday's game could be memorable.
"We need to take them seriously," Downing said. "They're a great team. We have to consider all their strengths. As long as we step up, we should be able to take care of business."
"(Greely) may be the hottest team around right now," Diaz said. "They're scoring. They're defending well. It will be a big test for us."
